The 15th annual Highlands Ranch/Lone Tree Relay for Life event brought nearly 400 people together July 27-28 at Cresthill Middle School as 34 teams raised $58,889 for the American Cancer Society and participants walked the track all night, symbolizing that cancer
never sleeps. There were many activities during the event, from Zumba to a Misster Relay Contest, movies, a karate demonstration and more, keeping spirits up while emotional moments such as the Luminaria Ceremony and Survivors Lap reminded people why they were there.
As Douglas County prepares for a quarter of its population to be over the age of 60 by 2030, county officials are beginning to discuss the needs of today’s senior population from Deckers to Parker and everywhere in between. The Partnership of Douglas County Governments is putting forth a collaborative effort between all the towns, cities and special districts within the county, along with the school and library districts, to learn exactly what needs are out there and to what extent individuals and families in the county are aware of current available resources. As part of that process, community leaders and elected officials will have a listening tour lasting a month and a half, starting Aug. 2 in Deckers. The tour has two scheduled stops each in Castle Rock and Parker and will also pass through Roxborough, Larkspur, Castle Pines, Highlands Ranch, Louviers and Lone Tree. The listening tour is being organized to give residents the opportunity to share their own visions for the community and address with county officials where there are gaps in current services. According to county spokeswoman Wendy Holmes, Douglas County is the only member of the Denver Regional Council of Governments that is addressing such a situation in this manner. Part of the reason behind the county’s actions, said Commissioner Jack Hilbert, Seniors continues on Page 7

douglas County fair bigger, better Plenty to do, plenty to see at annual event in Castle Rock By Virginia Grantier

It’s not just a spectator sport, this year’s annual Douglas County Fair: In addition to watching livestock competitions and rodeos, there are free pancakes, pie-eating contests, dances, carnival rides, hands-on ageducation opportunities — and, of course, the cricket races. The fair is Aug. 8-11, but many of the preliminary events are already underway. The fourth annual cricket races for a couple hundred kids and crickets will take place at 1:30 p.m. Aug. 9, and racers are reminded not to bring their own crickets. It’s not because race organizers are worried about seeing super crickets with suspiciously large muscle-bound insect bodies. They want to spare young cricket-handlers from perhaps losing their cricket pet, says Maryjo Woodrick, an event coordinator for the Douglas County Extension Office.
Apparently, there have been times when the cricket handlers get so excited during the race that instead of encouraging the cricket to move faster by patting the ground behind the cricket, they pat the cricket, Woodrick said. And there have been times when the winning cricket handler, so excited about the win, has jumped up and down where they wished they hadn’t. So, the extension office provides the crickets, about 300 of them bought from a local pet store. Most crickets make it through OK, and kids can take them home as pets, with special instructions from Joe Julian, Douglas County’s extension director, on how to care for them. The fair, located at Douglas County Fairgrounds, 500 Fairgrounds Drive in Castle Rock, actually started July 27 with a junior division dog show and continues through Aug. 11 with 4-H and open competitions — everything from floriculture to goats to quilts. The biggest days, with major events, will be the two weekends in the stretch from Fair continues on Page 10
The Partnership of Douglas County Governments has launched a collaborative effort with all of the county’s municipalities, the school district and the library district to gather information on the current and future quality of life needs of those 60 and older living in the county. Transportation, health services, and affordable housing are all primary areas of study. File photo

Technology teacher brings life to learning H Prairie Crossing educator says engagement is key to pupils’ retention
‘These kids are truly
Rep digital natives. We need tha sta to capitalize on that.’
By Jane Reuter
By R
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Kelly Cargo displays a wide, gap-toothed smile when she talks about her favorite technology project. “The Best Part About Me,” the Prairie Crossing Elementary fourth-grader said. “You’ve got to choose three things you like about yourself.” With help from technology teacher Debbie Blair, Cargo learned a computer program that allowed her to create a video and zoom in on Cargo’s favorite physical feature — her big, blue eyes. Like Cargo, sixth-grader Jordan McDonald doesn’t need time to recall her favorite. Though it was nearly three years ago, the memory is fresh. “It was what our passion is,” she said. “We did a video of what we really like to do.” For McDonald, that was karate. That near-instant recall is among the ways Blair sees technology changing education, and why she believes so fiercely in what she does. Her son, a Prairie Crossing student, created a virtual scrapbook on astronaut Neil Armstrong. “This was done in March or April and I know my son could still tell me about Neil Armstrong,” she said. “That’s because of the level of engagement.” Initially a third-grade teacher at Prairie Crossing, Blair was named the school’s technology teacher seven years ago.

Classroom teachers work alongside Blair in a unique, shared teaching style. “We were the first school in the district to adopt the co-teaching model for technology,” said Blair. “It’s essentially embedded staff development. Teachers are learning to use the tools, too.” Second-grade teacher Brigitte Cranmer said some teachers initially were hesitant. “Debbie has pushed, prepared and given
a lot of support to the teachers,” she said. “It took years to accomplish, but I really think Prairie Crossing leads in technology.” Blair’s position melds perfectly with the concept of 21st-century education, and her projects typically include the four C’s emphasized as part of the Douglas County School District’s curriculum: Critical thinking, Creativity, Collaboration and Communication. “I think we do a lot of things at Prairie Crossing technologically that other schools may do, but maybe not to the same extent,” Blair said.

Blair’s job, like the e-portfolios, is everchanging. “I love how technology evolves,” she said. “What I did even five years ago, I would never think of doing with students now. The expectations I have for them change, too.” What remains constant is Blair’s goal to blend information students need to know with methods they’ve known their entire lives. “These kids are truly digital natives,” Blair said. “We need to capitalize on that.”
Littleton restaurateur Romano dies at 83 Co-founder of landmark eatery gave back to city By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Neil Romano, 83, passed away on July 28. The co-founder of Romano’s Italian Restaurant on Windermere Street in Littleton had battled stage 4 lung cancer since March. “He battled cancer, as he did everything, with strength and compassion,” reads a statement by his family. “He will be missed
by family, friends, employees and customers that he touched with his humor and love. And he is back with our mother, Ellie Romano, at what we know was a joyful reunion. Funeral arrangements will be announced.” Romano Ellie Romano died in May 2012. Married on Nov. 30, 1959, the couple started Romano’s in December 1967. The Littleton restaurant has become a
local favorite and a city landmark. “Little did they know what they were creating back in 1967,” son John Romano said after his mother died. The business boomed from three tables in 700 square feet to 36 tables in 5,000 square feet, and the family opened a location in Highlands Ranch seven years ago. “It was the people of Littleton that made them successful, so they gave back every chance they could,” said John Romano. Awards adorning the restaurant’s wall testify to their service, from Western Welcome Week naming them Grand Marshal in
2007, to being recognized for filling empty bowls for Love Inc., to earning a Business Integrity Award from Littleton Rotary, to being inducted into the Foodservice Hall of Fame in 2006. The couple had three children — Susan Calhoun (Mike), John (Rachelle) and Nicholas (Charlsy) — who gave them eight granddaughters (Audrey Bartlett, Lindsey Bartlett, Molly Bartlett, Carly Calhoun, Jenna Romano, Christina Romano, Traysa Romano and Jordan Romano).

Harvey behind anti-Clinton super PAC Republican politician sure that former secretary of state will be 2016 nominee By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Colorado state Sen. Ted Harvey has been named the honorary chairman for a national super PAC that went public this past week and has its sights set on stopping a run to the White House for potential Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. “Hillary will be the nominee,” Harvey said, when asked about targeting her more than three years before the 2016 election. “I don’t have any doubt that will be the case. “The Republican Party has always waited until the last minute to try to define themselves and their opponents and you
have seen the results of that over the last several election cycles. We wanted to make sure that was not going to be the case when it comes to Hillary Clinton. We wanted to start early.” The Highlands Ranch Republican said Clinton is Harvey making all the moves typical of a national candidate, and that PACs are sprouting up in support of a Clinton campaign. The only other candidates that he and fellow Republicans working on the Stop Hillary PAC are concerned with, Harvey said, are those she endorses. “Any candidate that she endorses, we will be there to tell the voters who that person is and counteract anything that Hillary Clinton and her campaign do across this country,” he said. “Wherever she is, we will be.
“We are going to continue to remind the citizens of the United States who Hillary Clinton is and what her background is; her whole history of misleading the American public, whether it was her personal or public behavior, her efforts with the Rose Law Firm, whether it was Whitewater or whether it was Benghazi.” The organization, “Stop Hillary PAC,” officially filed with the Federal Election Commission in May, but has kept things quiet until now. According to Harvey, the PAC had a very good week of fundraising in its first week of going public with appearances on Fox News, CNN and a story in the Washington Times. The group launched its first anti-Clinton YouTube video July 24 on its website, www. stophillarypac.org, reaching more than 100,000 people by email, Harvey said. The video had topped 31,000 views by

Colorado Community Media’s July 26 deadline. Commercials and radio spots are not expected for a while from the group, as Harvey said they plan to keep their efforts focused on social media. When asked about whom he saw running against Clinton in 2016 if she indeed is the nominee for the Democratic Party, he said he was focused solely on stopping Clinton. “I am confident that the Republican Party will put up a great nominee in 2016 and will be able to be very competitive against Hillary Clinton, because of the efforts of organizations like the Stop Hillary PAC,” he said. Calls for comment to Mike Jones, the chairman of the Douglas County Democratic Party, and to Democratic U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet were not returned prior to deadline.

Fire agencies getting in sync Departments work on using same language By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Supervisors with Littleton Fire Rescue, West Metro Fire Rescue and South Metro Fire Rescue are being trained to talk the same talk. “We run with each other a lot, so we want to communicate identically,” SMFR Capt. Ken Walker explained during a training session July 25. They’re using the Blue Card Command Certification Program, designed to bring departments into compliance with national standards required to be eligible for Homeland Security funds. “Each department wants to get better at running a call themselves and, in turn, as a group,” said Walker. “This way, we can kill
‘Each department wants to get better at running a call themselves and, in turn, as a group. This way, we can kill two birds with one stone.’ South Metro Fire Rescue Capt. Ken Walker two birds with one stone.” A major focus of Blue Card is the actual words the firefighters are using on scene, so everyone understands each other and radio chatter is minimized. Walker said the goal is to be clear, concise and brisk with their orders. “Radio time is very precious, and people can get killed in the first five minutes,” he said.
The supervisors sit in classes, then practice what they learned by running virtual drills on computers, communicating via real radios. On July 25, the scene was a burning strip mall. They worked on eliminating extraneous words like “at this time” or “please,” and whether to call a particular truck a “ladder” or a “tower.” “This training and certification program produces incident commanders that make
better decisions that will potentially eliminate the lethal and/or costly mistakes that cause injury, death and unnecessary fire losses in the local response area,” according to the program’s website. There’s been some concern about how long the training takes firefighters out of service. Chief John Mullin said the 50 hours of training for all 39 supervisors will require taking one engine out of service for the duration. Past training meant down time for two engines and one ambulance, he said, calling this an improvement. Joel Heinemann, president of the Littleton Firefighters Association, thinks Blue Card will generally be a good thing. But he is concerned that until the whole department is trained, not just the supervisors, it could create confusion. “In general concept, it’s the right thing to do,” he said. “Anything to improve communication is a step in the right direction.”
Man convicted of child-porn charges Federal, local agencies join forces in case Staff report A Highlands Ranch man was convicted in Douglas County District Court on two counts of sexual exploitation of a child for possession of child pornography. Wilmer Hau Sosa, an 18-year-old high school student at the time of his 2011 arrest, was found guilty July 24 of possessing images and videos of children elementary schoolaged and younger engaging in sexual acts. The case against Hau Sosa was built by Detective Shawn Cronce of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Special Victims Unit and FBI Examiner Jim Stevens of the Rocky Mountain Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory. The case was prosecuted by Senior Deputy District Attorney Christopher Gallo and Deputy DA Chris Wilcox of the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office. “The success of this prosecution is in large part the result of the efforts of the Hau Sosa Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, two hardcore prosecutors and the Rocky Mountain Regional Computer Forensics Lab,” said District Attorney George Brauchler. “One of only 16 RCFLs in the country, the expert testimony, photographic exhibits and digital analysis provided by their examiners proved compelling. “Our community is lucky to have the technological expertise and firepower of the RCFL to identify and hold accountable those who would victimize our children using computers, cell phones and digital cameras.” Hau Sosa will be sentenced Sept. 27 by Judge Richard Caschette. He faces a minimum of probation and a maximum of six years in prison on each count. “I am extremely pleased with this conviction and the fact that Douglas County residents have a law enforcement team that seeks out those that participate with the heinous act of sharing, distributing or viewing these types of images that are crimes against children,” said Douglas County Sheriff David A. Weaver.

Republicans interview school candidates Local party continues strategy used in 2009, 2011 elections
‘We could have 10 Republicans and 10 Democrats and there’s no indication of their party affiliation. That
By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com The leader of the Douglas County Republicans said the party’s involvement in school board elections helps ensure Republican principles are upheld locally. Colorado state statutes prohibit a school board candidate from running “as a candidate of any political party,” but that doesn’t prevent the local Republicans from endorsing board candidates — a practice they began in 2009 and are continuing with the November 2013 election. Through early August, members of a Douglas County Republicans’ interview committee will meet with board candidates who want the party’s endorsement — regardless of the candidate’s political affiliation. The executive committee will vote on endorsements for the four open seats in mid-August. Their choices will be based on those candidates “most likely to support the principles of the Republican Party,” local party chairman Craig Steiner said. The Douglas County Republicans endorsed the seven current board members in the 2009 and 2011 elections.

makes it very hard for voters to know who to vote for.’ Douglas County GOP chairman Craig Steiner Steiner said the endorsements are critical because a school board candidate’s party affiliation is not indicated on a ballot. That was problematic in traditionally conservative Douglas County. “We could have 10 Republicans and 10 Democrats and there’s no indication of their party affiliation,” Steiner said during a July 26 breakfast in Castle Rock. “That makes it very hard for voters to know who to vote for. In Douglas County, when the voters know, Republicans pull anywhere from 60 to 75 percent of the vote. It’s clear that being a Republican and being supported by the Republican Party is something voters value.” Involvement in school board elections also is part of a broader Republican strategy. “This is where it starts — at the local level,” Steiner said. “We can complain

about what’s going on in Washington, but our sphere of influence is Douglas County. As long as all of our county parties are doing these things, we’re going to start seeing good results at the grassroots county level and going up from there.” Conversely, the Douglas County Democrats have no strategy for the school board election. “We don’t take the same approach because it’s nonpartisan,” chairman Mike Jones said. “We believe in public education. If people ask us, we tell them to vote for those who support public education. But there’s no big strategy.” Colorado Association of School Boards deputy executive director Jane Urschel said in an August 2012 interview that the association views service on a school board as “the highest level of service,” one that historically rose above party politics.
“Those who were elected would focus on what constitutes the best education of the children of those communities, and they would not be torn by politics or having to vote the way a party wants them to,” she said. Steiner sees no conflict between political party affiliation and the ability to objectively serve the needs of DCSD’s students. “The position of the Republican Party is that we have principles that apply equally to education, and we believe our principles are in the best interest of the child. “Whether it’s a group of people that call themselves Republican, Democrats or teachers unions, we’re all just members of the community with different views of the best ways to help the students. We all hope we’re doing this for the right reasons.” At least one candidate, Republican Kevin Leung, rejected the opportunity for an interview with the Douglas County Republicans. “I will not solicit or accept any endorsement from a political party or organized labor because I believe it is unethical to do so,” Leung said. “I am running to represent the people of Douglas County, not special interest groups in this nonpartisan election.” Leung ran unsuccessfully for a seat in 2009 and is among several plaintiffs in a lawsuit aimed at stopping the Douglas County School District’s voucher program.

The District D candidate seeks the seat orse-now held by Carrie Mendoza. Mennizeddoza has not yet said whether she to dowill run for the post. esent “I see the two sides of the story ecialand I understand what’s going on,” elec-said the 65-year-old Republican, who taught in El Paso County’s at inLewis-Palmer School District 38. in a“It would be foolish to take sides. uglasMy feeling is that maybe a school am. board could use somebody who
is just steeped in education as a teacher, as an administrator.” His wife, Kristin, also is a District 38 teacher. “We’re just concerned about education in general in the U.S.,” Boyd said. Boyd was a businessman for 33 years who retired and then earned his master’s degree in education. He worked as a District 38 high school teacher in Monument for seven years before retiring a second time. He now is pursuing a doctoral degree in education. “I’m not sure what I’ll end up doing with it, but something political,” he said. “I’ve been a very political person my whole life.” Boyd spent most of his life in the San Francisco Bay area. Growth and an earthquake prompted the family to seek a new home. “To tell you the truth, we just packed up all the kids, put everything in the biggest van I could rent and started heading east,” Boyd said. “Neither of us had jobs. We were just headed down south (of Denver) looking around. I pulled over on the side of the road and said, `This looks nice. This is where we’ll live.’” “This” was Larkspur.

closer to their home than any Douglas County schools, are grown and gone from the family home. Boyd now is hoping to tie his interests in politics and education together. Boyd said he has no connection to the Douglas County Republicans, who will in August endorse a slate of candidates. Nevertheless, Boyd thinks he has a handle on the issues facing the DCSD board, including controversy surrounding the voucher program and changes to teachers’ pay and evaluations. “You’ve got one side that I think the Republican Party helped get in,” he said, “and there’s another outside group of parents and political folks who don’t like the changes that they’ve made. I understand the fight back and forth because it’s supposedly a nonpartisan position.” Though Boyd said he doesn’t know the process that led the board to make some of its controversial changes, “I think I have enough knowledge base that I could help with how these decisions are made.” Kevin Leung, who ran unsuccessfully for the school board in 2009, also is running for the District D board spot.

is that Douglas County has the fastest growing senior population per capita in the state and is among the top 10 nationally when it comes to an increase in elders. “Because of that we have to start addressing this now,” he said. “We don’t have, in my opinion, 10 years to get these answers. We need to start getting these answers in the next three to five years to address our current population.” Part of the reason to address this in a collaborative fashion, he said, is so that services aren’t being duplicated. With multiple municipalities working together to solve existing issues among the senior population, it will limit the use of taxpayer dollars. Hilbert anticipates some of the hottest topics being discussed will be transportation, affordable housing and health care. “We don’t know the level which each will rise to, but we want to make sure citizens are being served and work with the private sector to make that happen,” he said.

opinions / yours and ours
Preconceptions don’t stand up to reality I always keep a few apologies handy. Learning how and when to apologize is very important. I’ve said something or I’ve done something I’ve regretted more times than I want to count. But I did just that one night. I made a list of my major lapses, and there have been some humdingers. Usually I had a partner, an accomplice, but I never blamed him. He has a Russian name, Smirnoff. I was told never to ruin a good apology with a bad excuse. I try to follow that advice, but sometimes I have to apologize for my apology. Emails are not always the best way to say you’re sorry. Sometimes it’s an email that gets me in trouble in the first place. I can be too abrupt, too facetious, too unkind. And the instant that I click “send” I want a redaction that I can’t have. Some of us don’t apologize. Tough guys don’t apologize because it’s a sign of weakness. Did you hear the words “I’m sorry” or “I regret” during the James “Whitey” Bulger trial? I have apologized over and over, made amends or attempted to, and it makes me
feel a little better. But I hate the fact that I can be a jerk. I don’t need to express my opinion whenever I have one. But I do. Having an opinion column puts me on guard about perceived offenses. There might be something to write about. I am sandwiched by renters, and the houses have been rented countless times since I’ve lived in mine. My property is groomed. The yards next door haven’t been groomed since Missy Franklin was born, and the homeowners association knows my voice. (Note: The current renters are exceptions.) Everyone doesn’t have the time or
money to groom a yard, or the health or the energy. I just started driving with Meals For Wheels. I’m doing it for a number of reasons. I need to get out of the house, because isolating is not healthy for someone like me. And I need to be reminded about what’s important. I was offered Route 7, which takes me around parts of Englewood I have never seen before. Many of the homes look tired, and the homeowners look tired too — but they are doing the best they can. Yards and porches are littered. Things are left where they were last used, and that may have been weeks, months, or years. Doors open when I knock with a meal, and a smiling face looks at me. There is always a smiling face, and the old grouch smiles right back. I know I might be the only human being they talk with on Fridays. Many of them have devoted dogs. Bless our dogs, right? I don’t know any of them, but I can see biographical details everywhere, like military decals and affectionately arranged
flower beds. Most of their yards need makeovers. I would have been on the phone if I lived next to them. But not now. When I hand them a meal I see a graying life at the train station, with a ticket for the next destination. I might be looking at a World War II veteran or a greatgrandmother no one cares about anymore except relatives, maybe. All but a few live alone. I live alone. It’s easy for me to see myself in them, someday. One woman has animal shelter eyes. I can’t get them out of my mind. I told her to “Behave this weekend, and I will see you next Friday.” She broke into a smile, and so did I. The yards next door to me look fine. I’m sorry I felt otherwise. I plan to write about Route 7 again. I’ve said this before: I’m still learning. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

letters to the editor Volunteers needed for event to help homeless
Thank you for the positive article by Ann Macari Healey on the Christ in the City Missionaries. I have worked as a volunteer food coordinator with this organization since 2012. They are indeed a remarkable group of young adults making a positive impact on many lives. We would like to invite your readers to join us in preparing and serving 300 homeless for the next Second Saturday Event on Aug. 10. Middle school and high school students will earn service hours for their participation. Please visit: www.signup genius.com/go/5080F4EA4AD2EA57-pure for details. Barb Monark Lone Tree
Teachers, schools fuel home sales
Figure out what it is you want Do you remember the pop song by the Spice Girls, “Tell me what you want, what you really really want, I’ll tell you what I want, what I really really want”? And then the lyrics are repeated several times. Have you ever been asked, “What is it that you really want?” Or maybe you have even asked yourself, “What is it that I want the most in life?” Does your answer change based on either situation? I often find that we tend to be more guarded when answering the question about what we want when asked by another person, and much more honest and deep when we look ourselves in the mirror and answer ourselves when no one else is around. Do we want material things? Do we want money? Do we want love? What is the thing we want most in this life? After 40 years of research, The Zig Ziglar Organization netted the list down to eight things that people really really want: To be happy, to be healthy, to be reasonably prosperous (and some people would like to be unreasonably prosperous), to have security, true friends, peace, solid family relationships and hope. Think about it, would you trade your happiness, health, prosperity, security, friendship, peace, family relationships and hope for a second or third home, a new car, jewelry, a good time, or even a great time? And does there absolutely have to be one or the other? I am a big proponent of “and” not “or,” and believe if we strive for the things we want without compromising our character or integrity we can have all of the material things we desire as well as all of the more important things that money will not buy. One of the things that I really really want in life is peace. And this is one of the reasons I really love living here in Colorado. There is such a fantastic sense of peace when hiking in the mountains, walking in our open spaces, skiing on through the trees or in a secluded or quiet area on the
hill. Sure, skiing requires equipment, proper clothing and a ski pass, but hiking and walking bring me peace with absolutely no investment from me other than my time. Our sunrises and sunsets observed each morning and evening bring me peace and hope, and once again without any cost. I set goals and pursue dreams. And when I look at the list of eight things that we all want, at some level I recognize that I am doing OK in several areas but still need to develop and grow in others. I would encourage you to write the list of these eight topic, Happy, Healthy, Reasonably Prosperous, Secure, Friendship, Peace, Family Relationships and Hope. Next to each one just simply put a check mark next to the ones you feel you are doing well in and an asterisk next to the ones you want to see yourself develop. Once we have reached an acceptable level in all eight areas, we can enjoy all of the things this life offers in every aspect of our lives. And it always amazes me that when someone shares with me that they have strengthened each of these areas, that some of their material desires and other things simply fall into place too. How are you doing in these eight categories? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and together let’s make this a better than good week.

The majority of my 28-year career selling real estate has taken place in Douglas County, where the achievements of the Douglas County School District have spoken boldly to families all across the country. I deal with numerous clients every year that have the opportunity to choose where they work, and live where they please with their families. The weather, topography, and activities in Colorado all provide a great draw for these families. But for those with children, the schools in a given area are often the focal point of their decision to settle there. I no longer have to even pitch that
Douglas County is considered one of the top school districts in the country; my customers come to me saying “Louie, I want to live here. I want my kids to learn and grow up here.” Statements like these are often expressed by parents accustomed to East or West Coast private schools, where they would pay upwards of $20,000 a year in primary education costs. They literally could not be happier with the quality of education being provided by our fantastic teachers and administrators. Our underlying nature, as parents, is to want the very best for our kids, especially in their educational opportunities. DCSD provides choices and numerous school options for parents to place their children in the learning environment that is most beneficial to their specific needs and desires. The success of this approach has echoed across the country as the reputation of always-successful Douglas County schools continues to spread farther and farther. As a proud father of two children in DCSD, I feel it’s imperative to listen to the parents rather than surrounding noise when judging the success of schools in our county. We love sending our kids to school every day, and the proof of their growth is visible in the pudding of their triumphs year after year. Louie Lee Castle Pines Village

Aug. 3-11, but especially the last weekend — which starts early. The final weekend starts revving up at 7 p.m. Aug. 8 with championship bull riding. On Aug. 9, among other things, will the cricket races, a P.R.C.A. rodeo and headline entertainment, country singer Walker Williams, who has been the warmup act for Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and others. Aug. 10 kicks offs with the 9 a.m. fair parade on Wilcox Street, Castle Rock’s main street, and then later on is the tractor pull, the pie-eating contest, another rodeo and a barn dance featuring Honky Tonk Voodoo, a Colorado band described as “country music with an edge.” On Aug. 11, the fair winds down with an 8 a.m. free pancake breakfast, a draft horse pull and another rodeo at 1 p.m. In this county where bedroom suburbia is replacing ranchland, some members of the county’s leadership still have agricultural roots and interests. Todd Spencer, chairman of the Douglas County Fair Board, is the go-to person for 4-Hers to ask sheep questions. His family has been raising and showing sheep since the 1940s, and he started the DC Lamb Masters 4-H Club. Spencer can take the flat of his hand, run it along a sheep’s body, and tell to a
fraction of an inch that ratio of fat to muscle, he said. Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge is the beef expert — he’s been a longtime 4-H leader and superintendent of the beef program. “The fair offers all the ability to see our past, present and future Western and agricultural heritage all together in one week even though this lifestyle is experienced and enjoyed all year long by many right here in Douglas County,” Partridge said. “It is true Americana.” Partridge says they’re noticing a strong and rising interest in gardening, and in raising chickens — and he’s guessing it’s because some urban communities now al-
low chickens. “We have over 400 chicken entries this year,” he said, about a 22 percent increase. “We’ve had to rearrange the barn for chickens. It’s amazing.” Spencer is excited about how the county has been successful in drawing people from Highlands Ranch and other areas. Last year’s fair attendance was up about 36 percent. It’s much more fun than when he was showing at the fair as a kid and about the only people there were people competing. “It’s more exciting, more stuff going on,” he said. And the facility is much different. “We have put over $30
million in capital improvements in the fairgrounds,” Spencer said. And it continues with the still-under-construction Heritage Plaza project, which is an outdoor concert and shaded area. Part of the plaza will have a memorial made of 6,000 bricks that people can buy for $250 a brick and have a family member’s name or business name put on it. Proceeds go to the Douglas County Fair Foundation’s endowment fund, to be used for unexpected expenses or capital projects for the fair, which usually breaks even, Spencer said.

Rodeo bucks, barrels into town Family-friendly events run for four-night stretch By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ ourcoloradonews.com Dust off the hats and shine up the boots. It’s rodeo time. More than 30,000 people are expected to pass through the gates of the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo Aug. 8-11, and it’s a good bet that many will stop by the arenas at the Douglas County Fairgrounds to take Rodeo staRt in some times rodeo acAug. 8–7 p.m. tion. Aug. 9–7:30 p.m. RodeoAug. 10–6:30 p.m. related Aug. 11–1 p.m. events are planned all four nights of the fair, including an opening-night Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association championship at 7 p.m. featuring 12 to 15 bull riders. Each nightly performance will feature bareback riding, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping and team roping, and will conclude with bull riding. It’s those rough stock events that keep Todd Spencer, chairman of the fair’s board of directors, coming back each year. “It’s always fun to watch a 150-pound guy trying to ride a 2,000-pound snorting animal,” said Spencer, who
The Douglas County Fair and Rodeo will feature rodeo events each night from Aug. 8-11, including professional bull riding on opening night. Courtesy photo by Brian Q Gauck has served on the board since 2000. Of course, the managainst-beast concept is scaled down with events like the kid-oriented chicken scramble or mutton bustin’, which has little ones clinging for dear life to a frisky sheep. Children are also invited to participate in a stick-horse rodeo at 9 a.m. Aug. 11.
The “Where Country Comes to Town” theme of the 2013 fair and rodeo — ironic because of the event’s storied, 95-year history in a county originally built on a tradition of ranching and equestrian sports — is meant to encourage more recent arrivals to “experience all that Douglas County has to offer,” Spencer said.
“Douglas County is getting more and more urbanized, so we’re bringing country to town when the rodeo and fair comes to Castle Rock,” he said, before encouraging attendees to wear Western outfits. The crowds grow every year and organizers have expanded a reserved seating area in the outdoor arena to accommodate more guests. They will likely need it, as rodeo tickets are expected to sell out. Each night will feature a special ceremony honoring different groups. The Patriot Rodeo will get underway at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 9 and honor members of the United States military. Active-duty personnel and veterans will receive discounted entry. The following evening, during the busy Saturday night rodeo, fair officials will honor longtime board member Bob Thomas, who passed away less than a month after last year’s fair and rodeo, and dedicated volunteer Allen Bader. The Sunday afternoon rodeo, for which tickets will cost only $5, is being billed as the “Tough Enough to Wear Pink Rodeo” and is a grassroots cowboy campaign to fight breast cancer. “It’s going to be another big Sunday,” Spencer said.

‘Stranger’ reports bogus, police say Sheriff ’s office likely to seek criminal charges By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Authorities with different police agencies say three recent reports of strangers approaching women and children are all false. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and Parker Police Department said their investigators have determined that the reports made between July 16 and July 23 are not credible. Now two of those who made the claims face criminal charges, including false reporting to authorities. The sheriff’s office issued an alert July 19 out of “concern for public safety” after two women reported incidents in Highlands Ranch. One woman said a Hispanic male approached her July 16 near her home in the Northridge Park area of Highlands Ranch and asked her to go with him. When she refused, she said, he got in a white van and quickly drove away. Three days later, another woman said a “dark-skinned man” put his arm around
‘It can be very disturbing to the public. It puts them on edge and makes them feel uncomfortable, especially when we’re notifying them.’ Ron Hanavan, Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office spokesman her waist in a parking lot at the Taco Bell at Blakeland Drive at Highway 85, just outside Highlands Ranch. She said she pushed him away and he left in a white van. The Parker police responded July 23 to a call of a man in a white van approaching two young children in Jola Park in Clarke Farms and offering them candy. That report was also found to be untrue, with officials saying two hours after an alert was issued that the “information may not be as credible as initially presumed.” Sgt. Andy Coleman, public information officer for the Parker police, said the department is not considering criminal charges because the false report came from
an 8-year-old girl. He defended against criticism the department received on Facebook for disseminating what turned out to be false information, calling the situation a “Catch-22.” “We want to get it out to everybody as soon as possible when we get a report like that,” Coleman said. “The downside is when someone is lying and providing a false report. But if we ever waited, I think people would be upset if we didn’t provide that information.” The sheriff’s office had encouraged residents to immediately call in suspicious activity involving a Hispanic male in a white van to its Major Case Tip Line. The DCSO says “it is likely charges will be
recommended” to the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office for the calls. False reporting, a Class 3 misdemeanor, is punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a $750 fine. Ron Hanavan, spokesman for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, said the erroneous reports are “resource-taxing” and cause a “breach of the peace of the community.” “It can be very disturbing to the public. It puts them on edge and makes them feel uncomfortable, especially when we’re notifying them,” Hanavan said. He noted that the two Highlands Ranch reports were “distinctly different” and the women did not know each other, nor were they aware of one another’s reports. It was when the second report involving similar circumstances came in that the sheriff’s office informed the public of a possible threat. Hanavan declined to comment on how investigators determined the stories were untrue, only saying there were “multiple detectives” assigned to the cases. He said that the DCSO generally does not release information about false reports until an arrest is made, but that the department wanted to “put the public at ease” instead of waiting a few weeks.
DOUGLAS COUNTY SHERIFF BRIEFS Cattle get loose after trespass
About 100 cattle at a ranch off South Perry Park Road in Sedalia got loose after a gate had been unlawfully unlocked and left open near the intersection of Remuda Ranch Parkway and Dakan Road. A worker at the ranch reported that the gate continuously has been being unlocked after hours and left open and that after finding an empty case of beer, the hand believes teenagers are trespassing and drinking on the property without permission.
Woman’s rings missing
Douglas County deputies responded to Valley View Christian Church in the 400 block of Winterthur Way just southwest of Highlands Ranch on July 15 on a theft report. A woman who had been setting up for Vacation Bible School at the church on June 24 had taken off both her engagement ring and eternity ring and couldn’t remem-
ber where she set them down. She noticed four days later that the rings were missing and checked with the church’s lost and found and a few members and nothing had come up. After a fair amount of time passed, she decided to file a report. The rings are valued at $1,500 and $289 respectively.
Larkspur home ransacked
A white Oldsmobile Aurora and a gray sedan were seen parked in the driveway of a home in the 4800 block of Cheyenne Drive in Larkspur between 11 and 11:30 a.m. July 18, the same day it was reported that the front door of the home had been forced open with the deadbolt still in the latch. Two bedrooms of the home were completely ransacked with dresser drawers pulled out and dumped on the floor and beds. Missing items from the home included two Apple computers and a Kindle
Fire with a combined value of $4,400.
Horse get unwanted haircut
Sometime between 8 and 9 p.m. July 15 in the 12800 block of North Second Street in Parker, someone allegedly cut between eight and 10 inches of hair off the end of the tail of a palomino horse in a corral. The owner of the horse, who lives at the same address as the corral, said that this same type of thing happened about three years ago in Parker to numerous horse owners. She believes people steal the hair to make things with. There are no suspects in this matter at this time.
Homes for sale vandalized
On July 17 there were two different reports of homes for sale being vandalized; one in Parker and one in Highlands Ranch. The home in Parker, in the 9000 block of Apache Plume Drive, had a rock thrown through a bedroom window. The
one in Highlands Ranch, in the 10300 block of Fairlawn Trail, had the peep hole of the front door removed. Neither homeowner was home at the time of the vandalism.
Vehicles vandalized in Ranch
Two vehicles on Mallard Drive in Highlands Ranch were reportedly vandalized sometime overnight, late July 18 or early July 19. A vehicle parked outside a residence in the 3800 block of Mallard had a missing wallet that included all of the owner’s credit cards, while a vehicle in the 3900 block of Mallard, a vehicle that had been forced into was missing a pair of binoculars and a gym bag. Two other reports were filed on July 21 for vehicle tampering in Highlands Ranch, with two tires being reportedly “slashed” outside a residence in the 8400 block of Pebble Creek Way and a GPS unit stolen from a Jeep outside of a residence in the 9600 block of Newcastle Drive.

how720-365-7981 were Ben.eyasu@gmail.com e dethatwww.reproscolorado.com nforest is ed toWhere were you born? iting I was born in Ethiopia and grew up in San Francisco.
How long have you lived in the area? I moved to Colorado in 2002 and have been here since. What do you like most about it? I like Colorado for its beautiful mountains, the fourseason weather, and the variety of outdoor activities it offers. Colorado also has great people, an easy/laid back lifestyle, and a great place to raise a family.
I specialize in Residential Real Estate with first time homebuyers and investors. I invest a great deal of time researching the market in the area and keeping myself informed with the ever-changing market. I point my clients to the appropriate resources when they are not clear on where to get the right information pertaining to the home buying process. I facilitate that service by collaborating with other credible financial agency representatives, government program experts, home inspection agents etc., with the intent of simplifying what can be an overwhelming task to my clients. My clients appreciate my honesty and integrity, and most importantly, feel at ease to come to me with any questions. What is the most challenging part of what you do? I currently find most challenging the changes happening in the real estate market in Colorado. The real estate market has
What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working? I love spending my free time with my 10-month-old son and family. We enjoy traveling, watching sporting events, and all the great outdoor activities that Colorado has to offer. What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? My advice would be to de-clutter the house, have it smell clean and fresh, and give it an inviting appeal. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Have patience. Looking for a home can be a tasking experience, but with the right attitude and understanding of what the market has to offer, it can also be fun. What is the most unusual thing you have encountered while working in Real Estate? Sitting at a closing, a buyer literally came with a suitcase full of cash. The buyer had to redeposit before we can close.
How long have you worked in Real Estate? I have been working in the Real Estate for eight years now.

Colorado Scottish Festival turns 50 Haggis, whiskey, Nessie, bagpipes descend on Ranch By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Grab your kilt and get ready for some bagpipes. The 50th annual Colorado Scottish Festival is just around the corner. Slated for Aug. 10-11 in Highland Heritage Park in Highlands Ranch, this year’s festivities will feature Highlands Games, haggis tasting, drum, dance and Bonny Knees competitions, games for the kids, live music, and of course, Nessie. Expecting to draw between 10,000 and 12,000 people over the two-day celebration, festival director John Thornton said each year the Celtic party gets a “wee bit better.” “It’s pretty darn exciting,” he said. “This thing started as a family picnic with just a handful of people in a park up near Conifer, cooking some hot dogs and drinking some beer. It’s morphed into a festival that at-
tracts people from all over the world.” The festival outgrew its Conifer roots by the early 1980s, and made the move to the Colorado School of Mines’ athletic complex. It wasn’t long, Thornton said, before it outgrew the school grounds and in 1990, about the time he started running the show, the event moved to Highlands Ranch, where it’s stayed put ever since. “It’s really a family event,” Thornton said. “Unlike a lot of festivals that center around a lot of beer drinking and things like that, we try to cater to all ages. After all, the kids of today are the Scottish enthusiasts of tomorrow.” For those looking to cool off on a hot summer day with an adult beverage, no fretting is allowed, the dog-friendly festival will have adult beverages available on site. Celtic rock group Angus Mohr will also perform from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Aug. 10. Promising more events than ever before packed into two days, Thornton said the festival is a great opportunity to learn more
about one’s own Celtic heritage, regardless of whether it is Scottish, Irish or British. “People can come on down, have a taste of the ol’ Scottish soul food, haggis, and if you are an adult you can have a wee bit of whiskey to wash it down with,” he said. For more information on the festival, including a complete schedule of events, visit www.scottishgames.org or call the festival hotline at 303-238-6524. The festival is from 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Aug. 10 and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 11 at 9651 S. Quebec Street in Highlands Ranch. Single-day tickets, available on the site, range from $9 to $18 with multiple options available for seniors, kids, and adults who wish to spend an entire day on the grounds or just attend the Saturday concert. Children 6 and under receive free admission. Volunteers are still being sought for the festival, and Thornton said for four hours of service, volunteers get in for free for the remainder of the day. If interested in volunteering, please call Thornton at 303-5236469.
Phamaly company revisits a classic Beloved ‘Fiddler’ comes to downtown Denver By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Since “Fiddler on the Roof” first was produced on Broadway in 1964, it has been so popular that its music and story of human strengths have become part of our cultural fabric: “Tradition,” “Sunrise, Sunset,” “To Life …” Theater companies around the world produce it and audiences come with children and grandchildren to see it over and over, reliving a piece of history for many families with Russian ancestors. Phamaly, a theater company for actors with physical, emotional and cognitive disabilities, has chosen it as the 2013 summer musical production and delivers a lovely, well-paced musical through Aug. 11 at Denver Center for the Performing Arts, with fine voices and nice staging, directed by Steve Wilson. Choreographed by Debbie Stark, with musical direction by Donna Debreceni, it speaks to spirit and strength. Russian painter Marc Chagall’s “The Fiddler” and other like images in his work are cited as inspiration in an online history of the musical, based on Sholem Aleichem’s story, “Tevye’s Daughters” or “Tevye the Milkman.” Of special note in this production are mother and son fiddlers: Sophia
iF you go “Fiddler on the Roof” plays through Aug. 11 at the Space Theatre, Denver Performing Arts Complex. Presented by Phamaly, with performances at 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $30/$34, 303-893-4100, phamaly.org. or the Denver Center ticket office. Hummel, a student at San Francisco Conservatory, plays with a special bowing device because her right arm is amputated below the elbow, and 11-year-old Leslie Wilburn, concertmaster in the Denver Young Artists Orchestra, is polished and assured as he appears more frequently than is usual in “Fiddler” productions. Mark Disette is playing Tevye a second time for Phamaly, and portrays the milkman’s mixture of stubbornness and good humor skillfully. We can relate to this traditional Papa with stubborn daughters — and Rachel Van Scoy, Kenzie Kilroy and Lindsay Palmer as the marriageable daughters are charming and determined. Kathleen Traylor, an original Phamaly member, plays the conservative mother/ wife Golde and Ashley Kelashian takes over the stage when she appears as the village matchmaker Yente. The “Tevye’s Dream” sequence is especially imaginative, with Grandma Fruma in a flying wheelchair. This is an ideal play for a family outing
Gordon Ramsay, the chef who puts the terror into every restaurant owner, returns for a sixth season as he treks across the country to help struggling restaurants keep their businesses above water (and in some cases cockroaches, rats, etc). When all seems to be in desperate despair, the restaurant owners turn to Ramsay and his team for one last hope before having to shut their doors. Many of these restaurants are beyond repair, leaving Ramsay to face a nearly impossible task. Some will close their doors, others will get back on their feet, but all are calling on Chef Ramsay to wake them up from their “Kitchen Nightmares,” airing at 7 p.m. Mondays on Fox 31. You’ll have chances to view local operations, after Ramsay’s “Kitchen Nightmares” made two stops in the Denver metro area last month. The kitchen commander visited Pantaleone’s on July 26 and Old Neighborhood in Arvada July 27-30. Be afraid, be very afraid! The Old Neighborhood has been an Arvada institution since 1980, serving a diverse menu of American, Mexican, Italian, French, Asian and even Cajun-inspired foods. Owners Alexa and Randy Kowalczyk are sure to be in for a test from Ramsay when it comes to Old Neighborhood’s gigantic menu. Pantaleone’s is a pizza and pasta restaurant at 2120 S. Holly in south Denver. Mr. On The Town and I visited Panteleone’s 10 years ago or so for a story he was writing on Denver’s best pizza and we left unimpressed. Still, many have raved about the pizza and pasta place owned by Pete and Paulette Fafalios. Look for the episodes later this summer on Fox 31. Best of luck to both restaurants!
American Ninja
Am I the only weirdo who watched “American Ninja” on 9News on July 22? Why? Because they filmed the segment in Denver a few blocks from my condo, but I knew nothing about it. The host is Matt Iseman, a Denver native. Iseman even talked about how happy he was to be back in his hometown during the show. The show is entertaining in the fact that it’s fiercely competitive while these folks compete in crazy stunts that defy all odds of gravity. The show is continuing at 7 p.m. Mondays. Rich Grant, the spokesmodel for Visit Denver, told me that the crew filmed all through the night roughly five weeks ago. The show was shot in Civic Center and really highlights downtown Denver in the dark.
Wicket games
Sophia Hummel performs as the fiddler and Leslie Wilburn as her son, also a fiddler, in Phamaly’s “Fiddler on the Roof.” She has a special bow because her right arm was amputated at the elbow. Courtesy illustration with all but the littlest people. It offers a fine production of a story everyone should know, with clever staging and a lively band — and an introduction to some very courageous performers.

Anthology had roots in Columbine tragedy By Sonya Ellingboe

On June 21, Carolyn Mears of Littleton was presented with the 2013 Colorado Book Award for Anthology for her 2012 book, “Reclaiming School in the Aftermath of Trauma: Advice Based on Experiences” (Palgrave Macmillan). The awards ceremonies were held in Aspen. The annual Colorado Book Awards, in a number of categories, are given by The Colorado Center for the Book, a program of the Colorado Humanities, affiliated with the Library of Congress Center for the Book in Washington, D.C. The organization, a nonprofit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, has an office in Greenwood Village and supports literary, cultural and historical programs throughout the state. Mears’ experiences began on April 20, 1999. Her younger son was a student at Columbine High School when the shooting tragedy happened. “Severely exposed to violence one should never have to,” she said, he ended up hiding in a closet with others. There were about three hours of “that unknowing piece — was he alive?” “That’s the beginning. There was no preparation for schools, teachers, counselors ... Thinking things will go back to how it used to be is a myth — for kids, teachers, parents, community. It was a shattering of what we thought our world was.” As an educator, Mears determined to return to school and embarked on an award-winning Ph.D. thesis project, published as “Experiences of Columbine Parents in Finding the Way to Tomorrow.” A network began that reached across the world.

Carolyn Mears of Littleton won the 2013 Colorado Book Award for her anthology “Reclaiming School in the Aftermath of Trauma: Advice Based on Experiences.” Courtesy photo “But when I speak, I speak as a Columbine mom. I trust people who have lived the experience.” She developed a research method. She had inquiries from around the world about “what did the teachers do?” It was back to the drawing board. She needed to go beyond being a Columbine mom. A federal grant was available to aid in research for Mears, who is a dissertation adviser and adjunct faculty at the University of Denver’s Morgridge College of Education and is a member of the Trauma Certification Board of the DU Graduate School of Social Work. She is called on to speak nationally and internationally about such topics as trauma response and recovery after school shootings, safe school environments, leadership in times of crisis and narrative research. “Everyone on the globe will experience or know someone who has experienced a traumatic event,” Mears said. For her 12-chapter anthology,
she connected with people at Virginia Tech over the shooting there; the Lusher Charter School in New Orleans about Hurricane Katrina experiences; the New York Law School, near the World Trade Center, about 9/11; and the Joleka Center School in Finland, where there was a school shooting in 2007. She interviewed in some cases and included writing by others. Mears asked: “Tell me briefly your story/experience. What did you find helpful?” There were more than 100 interviews and she used her material from Columbine parents. “I really wanted to be sure their voices came through — I don’t own their life experience nor their words. It’s important that people are not victimized.” “It’s a tough read,” she says of her anthology. However, “it’s a book not of sorrow, but of hope.” Readers can find a list of other 2013 Colorado book award winners by going online to coloradohumanities.org, then clicking on a link on the “News/Media” page.

‘Accidental Tenor’ describes journey Singer shares his story with members of opera guild By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews. com When Andrew Lunsford was 15, he saw “Phantom of the Opera” onstage, and although he remembers not being happy about it, he knew all the words because his sister played the record constantly. “I learn best through my ears,” he said. That led to a visit to “Les Miserables,” where his jaw dropped when that chandelier fell. He got a CD. Another CD in the basement was “Opera’s Greatest Hits.” He sang along. He played a guitar at 15, but couldn’t read music. He married and had a young family and a growing business in construction — “I also had a passion for business.” Then the bottom fell out of homebuilding and his business cratered. “It might be fun to learn an aria,” he thought and his dad took him to Rockland Music in Lakewood. “Looking for an opera song” — “You mean an aria?” the clerk wondered.

He spoke to members of the Denver Lyric Opera Guild on July 18 at the group’s summer luncheon, interspersing his story with favorite arias.

Because Les Shapiro is so good to me, I got to play as a “celebrity” fifth at Cherry Creek Country Club on Monday for the Hyde Park Jewelers Diamonds in the Rough golf tournament (presented by Rolex, where’s mine?) to benefit Youth Biz, Judi’s House and the Global Down syndrome. My patient teammates were David Blake (from the Colorado state’s attorney’s office and son of Ernie Blake, a blessing to our Denver community for his fundraising efforts), who was the best stick in our fivesome. Also deserving kudos was Abby Perlmutter (daughter of Congressman Ed Perlmutter), who can hit a mile-long drive — not Ed, but Abby. And rounding out our fivesome were brothers Gary and Steve Pettit, who own and run Starwest Productions out of Arvada. Check them out at: www.estarwest. com. Any way you slice it, we had a blast!

competition for young singers. A full ride scholarship to Indiana University’s famed music school followed. While there, he performed at
the Kennedy Center and in April debuted at Carnegie Hall in New York. He thought of his feet standing in the same place as great singers from the past. He just finished at Indiana — at age 34 — and has a number of engagements on his calendar as he starts on a professional career as an operatic tenor. In May 2014, he will sing with Opera Fort Collins, with Kimberli. He closed by saying how very much the support from the guild has meant to him. “It means we have a chance.” “We give away more money than any comparable organization in the country,” said active member Jane Gibson. Denver Lyric Opera Guild membership is open to all who are interested. The group meets monthly through the academic year, at various venues, for “Opera on Tuesday” — lunch and an opera-related program. It also hosts a Master Class and Preliminary and Final Competitions each year. (March 2014 dates are announced.) The competitions, at Bethany Lutheran Church in Englewood in 2013, are free and open to the public — offering a chance to hear wonderful young voices.

Women’s golf on the upswing Solheim puts spotlight on advances in sport By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Many of the elite players from the Ladies Professional Golf Association and Ladies European Tour will be heading to Parker for the Solheim Cup later this month. The biennial, prestigious match-play tournament pits 12 U.S.-born professionals against 12 European counterparts. Colorado golf fans will see accurate drives, pinpoint approach shots and clutch putts during the event, which will be held Aug. 13-18 at the Colorado Golf Club. The statistics show these players are hitting longer and scoring lower than ever before. But are the elite women of today really more skilled that the top players of yesteryear? That’s a debatable topic, because golf balls and equipment keep improving and make it easier for those golfers who have correct swing techniques to flirt with or better par. “Overall, more women are playing the
game globally,” said 59-year-old Denver resident Hollis Stacy, who won 18 LPGA tournaments and collected four victories in majors during her 26-year career. “The same scores are winning on the LPGA and European tours. Golf is more competitive. There are more people shooting those low scores and winning. “What happened in the game is the equipment is much better. The skill levels have remained the same. We had women on the tour drive the ball 270 yards. If we had the same equipment and balls the players have now, the drives would be in the 300s.” Donna H. White, an LPGA teaching professional who played 15 seasons on the tour and won three events before retiring in 1992, claims today’s players are taking advantage of opportunities. “I am quite confident given the ball of today and agronomic grooming of fairways and greens that Mickey Wright’s scoring average would be 67 or better,” said White. “I don’t think players today are any more skilled. I believe they have been exposed to greater opportunities than mine or previous generations.” Wright won 82 tournaments in 14 years
numbers game A statistical comparison of the top LPGA player in certain categories in 2000 and 2013 Average driving distance (in yards) 2000: Caroline Blaylock, 270.1 2013: Nicole Smith, 274.9 Scoring average 2000: Karie Webb, 70.1 2013: Inbee Park, 69.5 Greens in regulation 2000: Annika Sorenstam, 74.6 percent 2013: Suzann Pettersen, 75.1 percent Putting average (average putts per round): 2000: Lisa Kiggens, 28.56 2013: Inbee Park, 28.46 Rounds under par: 2000: Karie Webb, 69.5 percent 2013: Inbee Park, 76.0 percent Source: LPGA.com on the LPGA Tour, including four U.S. Women’s Opens and three LPGA Championships. She retired from the tour in 1969 and won four consecutive Vare Trophies, the award that goes to the player with the lowest scoring average.
The lowest scoring average for Wright was 72.46 in 1960. For the past 16 seasons, the LPGA’s Vare winner has had an average of 70.21 or lower. In fact, no winner has had an average higher than 71 since 1977. White credits better competitive exposure, technology and fitness for the improved statistics for current professionals. “My era was the first to benefit from Title IX,” explained White. “Beth Daniel, Nancy Lopez and myself were able to attend college and gain invaluable competitive experience prior to joining the tour. Today kids can play in a tournament starting at age 4 every weekend. Tour players before me had to join the tour to compete. I couldn’t play soccer or baseball in my era. Today girls can play any sport they want. The skills and competitive maturity transfers nicely to golf. “The ball is the most influential technology advancement. Also video analysis. Health and fitness was always important to me. I ran and trained but few of my fellow tour players would join me. Then in the early-mid ’80s , the health boom happened and we had fitness vans on tour weekly.” Golf continues on Page 39
high school sports roundup Fall prep sports gear up
Summer vacation is over. The Colorado High School Activities Association and its 343 member schools open the fall season with the first official boys golf practice Aug. 5. All other sports start Aug. 12 for athletes in cross country, field hockey, football, girls’ gymnastics, boys soccer, softball, boys tennis, volleyball and spirit. Boys golf teams may start scrimmages Aug. 8, girls softball Aug. 12, boys tennis Aug. 15 and Aug. 22 for the rest of the sports. The first match for boys golf can be played Aug. 8, and Aug. 15 for boys tennis. The first girls softball game can be played Aug. 16
and the season openers for other sports Aug. 29. Football teams, with approval from the CHSAA office, may play a Week Zero game if certain criteria have been met. The CHSAA enters the year with few changes on staff. Paul Angelico, a 25-year member of the staff, is commissioner. Assistant commissioners Bert Borgmann and Tom Robinson are in their 26th and 13th years on the staff, respectively. Meanwhile, Bethany Brookens and Harry Waterman are in their sixth year with the association. Bud Ozzello enters his fourth year on the staff. Jenn Roberts-Uhlig is now in her second year on the staff, while ryan casey joins the staff as director of
Web Services. Mountain Vista is the defending boys cross country champion and Valor Christian won the 2012 Class 5A football championship.
Under-par in Colorado Open
Four Douglas County golfers finished with under-par, fourround totals in the HealthOne Colorado Open golf tournament but didn’t finish among the contenders. Amateur Derek Fribbs of Castle Rock, the Douglas County graduate who was the 2008 Class 5A state champion, put together consistent rounds of 70, 70, 70 and 67 to finish with a 7-under-par total of 277 in the tournament played
July 25-28 at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club. The former University of Colorado player tied for 13th place. Ex-ThunderRidge and CU golfer Derek Tolan of Highlands Ranch and Caine Fitzgerald of Parker tied for 21st and each collected $1,660 in prize money. Tolan, a two-time Colorado Open champion, had rounds of 67, 73, 72 and 68 for a 280 total, while Fitzgerald’s 4-under-par 280 included rounds of 72, 69, 70 and 69. Scott Petersen of Parker tied for 29th place and won $1,082. He carded rounds of 71, 68, 71 and 72, which left him 2-under-par with a 282 total.
Foxes ousted in semifinals
The Colorado Real Foxes lost to Forest City London on penalty kicks July 27 in the semifinals of the Professional Developmental League’s Central Conference soccer playoffs. The semifinal match ended scoreless after regulation and two overtime periods. FC London won 4-3 on penalty kicks but then lost to the Thunder Bay Chill in the conference championship game. Colorado finished the regular season second in the Heartland Division with a 9-2-3 record. Oliver Gore was the league’s second leading scorer with 15 goals and was third in points with 34.

‘I’ve seen golf in Colorado grow over the years and I’ve seen the caliber of play improve greatly.’
Continued from Page 38
Mike Scanlan, LPGA Director of Media Communications, didn’t have the chance to watch some of the LPGA’s former standouts. “Whether or not players on the LPGA today are better than those in past generations is a subjective question,” he said. “I think the depth of the LPGA is certainly greater than it’s ever been thanks in large part to the growth of the game globally. Scoring averages are between one and two strokes better than they were in 1980, but advancements in technology must factor into that debate. Whether you look at 1950, 1980 or today, the best players in the world are playing on the LPGA.” Janet Moore, a five-time Colorado stroke play champion who spends part of the year in Illinois as Wheaton College’s women’s golf coach, has watched women’s golf and
Janet Moore the skills of players grow in the state. “I’ve seen golf in Colorado grow over the years and I’ve seen the caliber of play improve greatly,” said Moore. “It seems like the juniors are getting younger and younger and better and better. That’s very exciting. “I started playing when I was 10. I played because my family played. From what I’ve seen, the game has grown and the interest has grown for young girls. The caliber of play has improved. Just in the high school ranks now you need three or four good players to do well. It has changed quite a bit. I played on my boys high school team. They didn’t have a girls team. I went to
Wheat Ridge High School and they let me play on the boys team.” Colorado Women’s Golf Association Executive Director Robin Jervey noted enhanced play in Colorado tournaments. “We run 10 state championships, and looking at who plays in the championship flights of those events, the handicaps of the elite players have been going down,” said Jervey. “And there is more depth.” Globalization of the LPGA tour, better equipment and the tour’s attempt to promote physically attractive players has made women’s golf more appealing, and events like the Solheim Cup may spark a desire for more women to start playing.
“I know when the Women’s Open came to Cherry Hills in 2005, they had record crowds,” said Jervey. “It only had to help interest in the women’s game because it got people excited to see people of that skill level right in their own backyard. Both the CGA and CWGA have been offering discounts to our members to purchase tickets to the Solheim Cup. “People going to the Solheim Cup get to participate in something that probably won’t come to Colorado again. The Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup move around quite a bit. With it going overseas and back every two years, there’s a slim chance it would wind up in Colorado again, or if it does, it will be a long time from now. People should take advantage of this opportunity.” Moore agrees. “I would think having a prestigious event like the Solheim Cup in Colorado would certainly make a positive impact on the golfing community in general,” she said. “I think it would spur interest.”
Fast facts about the Solheim Cup The Solheim Cup, featuring 12-player women’s teams from Europe and the United States in a match play tournament, will be held Aug. 1318 at the Colorado Golf Club in Parker. Here are some things you may not know: • Kids get in free. All youngsters age 17 and under who are accompanied by a ticketed adult receive free admission to the Solheim Cup. There will also be a Solheim Cup for Kids program, an organized schedule of activities such as a scavenger hunt, face painting, daily drawings, interactive golf lessons and a behind-the-scenes tour of the event. For more information, go to www.solheimcupusa.com • First-tee shenanigans are part of the fun when attending the Solheim Cup. Unlike a typical tournament, the first tee is the place to be and you might even hear “Yankee Doodle” be-
ing sung. When players tee off each day, the atmosphere is raucous with fans from both sides yelling, chanting and singing songs to encourage players on the respective teams. • The three captains for the European team — captain Liselotte Neumann and assistants Annika Sorenstam and Carin Koch — are Swedish. “The three of us know each other very well,” said Sorenstam. “There will be some Swedish discussions so nobody will know what we’re talking about. We’ll keep that strategy to ourselves.” • European assistant captain Annika Sorenstam is married to Mike McGee, who is a U.S. citizen. “I told him you can come,” she said, “but only if you cheer for Europe.” • The United States has won eight of the 12 Solheim Cups and the Americas are 6-0 in matches played on U.S.
soil. “Having the crowd on your side is huge,” European captain Neumann admitted. “Obviously that will be one of the challenges for us. Coming into the U.S., the crowd will be big and not too many will be cheering for us. We’re trying to bring as many friends, family and fans that we can. We just hope the Europeans that come are really loud.” • Juli Inkster has earned the most points for the United States in Solheim Cup matches. Inkster scored 18½ points in nine Solheim events (15-12-7) for 54.41 percent of points earned. Meg Mallon, this year’s U.S. captain, won 16½ points (13-9-7) with 83.33 percent of points earned in eight Solheim tournaments. For the Europeans, Laura Davies played in all 12 of the previous Solheim events and won 25 points (22-18-6) with 54.35 percent of points earned.
Broncos rack up Blooper Bowl wins
There are two kinds of reality shows: Those that are bad and those that are worse. “Jersey Shore” was bad. “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” was worse. “Being Bobby Brown,” bad. Being the barren mind behind “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” worse. And who among us doesn’t hold at least some sentiment that the producers of “Toddlers and Tiaras” should be considered for execution via guillotine — with a tiara glued to each one’s head, for poetic justice? Like Michael Jordan, you can’t stop reality shows; you just gotta hope to contain them by rolling your eyes and changing the channel. But if you’re a member of the Denver Broncos organization, it’d be hypocritical of you to talk trash about TV’s garbage. That’s because off-season after offseason, all the team does is pump out reality show-like drama. Sometimes it’s fun. Sometimes it’s not. But, seeing as how the team hasn’t been to a Super Bowl since the 1998 season, Broncos’ drama is, at the very least, getting old. The Broncos have been the NFL leaders in off-season drama for about five years now, going back to 2008, with Mike Shanahan’s starring role in lostthe team’s version of “Chopped,” durnaltying his firing as head coach. als of In 2009, the Broncos rolled out the entalshort-lived “Kid Nation,” with the hirsoc-ing of the 5-year-old Josh McDaniels as their coach. nded Then, in the spring of that year, d twoMcDaniels thought it would be fun to wonmortgage the team’s future by trading n lostin their second-, third- and fourthn the me. gular tland
round NFL draft picks to the Baltimore Ravens, in order to grab Tim Tebow in the first round — kind of like McDaniels was running the team like it was a lemonade stand, but got duped into giving back change for a 50 to a bully who paid him with 20 bucks in Monopoly money. Oh, and on April 2, just a couple of weeks before drafting Tebow, the Broncos traded starting quarterback Jay Cutler to the Chicago Bears. Less than two weeks after that, star wide receiver Brandon Marshall was traded to Miami. It was “Extreme Makeover” time in Denver. Then, during the miserable 2010 season, owner Pat Bowlen — who finally realized his mistake of handing over the organization’s keys to a dude who was still getting around on a bicycle that had training wheels — fired McDaniels. Bowlen then brought John Elway into the front office, before Elway, “The Apprentice,” hired John Fox as head coach. Then, in 2011, came everyone’s favorite off-season reality show, “So, You Think You Can Pass?” starring Tim Tebow. Tebow Drama dominated Broncos camp that year, which proved to be too much for the pedestrian quarterback Kyle Orton to
handle. Then, after actually making the playoffs under Tebow, the Broncos embarked on their next reality hit, last year’s “Who wants to marry a Manning?” Peyton, that is. Enter the P-Man, exit the T-Man. And just when you thought the off-season drama would finally come to an end this season, the Broncos produced three more reality shows: The Wes Welker-inspired “Keeping Up With The Patriots”; Elvis Dumervil’s hit, “Are You Smarter Than A Fax Machine?”; And, on the heels of two team executives being arrested on charges of drunken driving — “Cops.” Oh, and last but not least, then came the recent drug allegations against star linebacker Von Miller, proving that “Big Brother” is indeed watching over Denver. Can the Broncos overcome this year’s off-season distractions? We shall see. All I know is that while the team continues to lead the league in reality drama year after year, the organization has been without a fresh Vince Lombardi Trophy for a very long time. Broncos’ reality shows may make for some intriguing, real-life drama. But unless Denver makes it to the Super Bowl this year, the Broncos will look like the “Biggest Losers,” while their fans will be staring in their own reality show: “Punk’d.” In addition to writing sports columns, Vic Vela covers the Legislature for Colorado Community Media.
