Leaders urge state water plan Partnerships needed to ensure continued quality, growth By Jane Reuter

Unlike most of its western neighbors, Colorado doesn’t have a water plan. And while a draft of one is underway and due on the governor’s desk in December, officials say it’s vital that the state’s business community get involved in its creation. Several of them reiterated that message during a March 14 Colorado business leaders water policy briefing at the Lone Tree Arts Center. “All but a handful of our neighboring states have water plans,” said James Eklund, director of the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB). “We’re not on the leading edge of this effort. “We’re not going to walk into the Colorado water future we want. We’re going to have to be intentional about it. The power of shared self-interest can overcome the rhetoric you often hear in the water discus-

sion.” The breakfast event was sponsored by Accelerate Colorado, a partnership of businesses and local governments that works with federal leaders on key state interests. None currently are more pressing than water. Gov. John Hickenlooper directed the CWCB to begin work on a state water plan in May 2013. A final report is expected a year after the draft is due, in late 2015. The plan is intended to address a range of issues, including the gap between supply and demand, the impact of climate change, water quality and protection of water rights. Colorado will add 5 million more people by 2050, a projection that underscores the concern about ensuring a secure supply. “We need to partner together,” said Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella. “We’re planning today for the next generation and the generation after that.” A prime example of a collaborative water effort is Denver Water’s WISE (Water, Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency) PartnerWater continues on Page 22

Voucher case to be heard by state’s top court Program introduced by school district in 2011 remains on hold through judicial process By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Colorado Supreme Court will hear the Douglas County School District voucher case. It issued an order March 17 granting that request from several plaintiffs in the original 2011 filing. The case likely won’t be heard until late summer or early fall, an attorney working for one of the plaintiffs said. That distant date — or the 11 months it took the state’s high court to render its decision — didn’t dampen the excitement of some involved with the case. “We’re thrilled,” said Cindy Barnard, president of the nonprofit Taxpayers for Public Education. “We certainly see this as a victory for us. When you look at the way the court has written the writ, it’s very clear they’re looking at all the substantive issues we brought forward.” The pilot program, named the Choice Scholarship Program, allows parents to use state-issued funds toward tuition at private schools. Most of the schools included in the program are religious. Barnard and others, including the Interfaith Alliance of Colorado, filed suit after DCSD introduced the program, and Denver District Court declared it unconstitutional in August 2011. The Colorado Court of Appeals issued the opposite opinion in February 2012. But until a final decision is made, the pilot program is on hold. “The district welcomes the opportunity for the state’s highest court to review a case that presents such important issues for our state and our country,” school board member Craig Richardson said. The voucher program was the first among several changes introduced by the reform-driven school board. Opponents say it blurs the line between separation of church and state, and dilutes funding for public schools. Supporters say the program offers parents another educational choice.

Fitness ballet studio

stretches out Independently-owned center focuses on strength and community By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Amy Lineberry came to The Ballet Physique feeling both mentally and physically low. She quickly lost 15 pounds and gained tone, but the biggest change was invisible. “After I saw what it did for me — not only my body but my happiness, my marriage, my kids, my energy — eventually for me, the fitness piece became a byproduct,” said Lineberry, part owner of the fitness studio that recently opened its second site in Lone Tree. “The energy, the way you feel when you’re in that space — it really makes you feel like a better person. It’s infectious.” Lineberry partners with Kristin Zurek, who opened the first Ballet Physique in Littleton three years ago. Using a ballet

barre as its focal point, the 60-minute ballet fitness classes build long muscles and enhance posture. The five different formats include moves ranging from yoga- and Pilates-style stretches to aerobics and cardio sequences. “Strong is the new skinny,” Lineberry said. “It’s not so much about pounds; it’s about looking good and feeling good,” Zurek is a professional dancer who moved to Colorado from the East Coast. A certified fitness instructor with the American Council on Exercise, she developed her own style of barre class based on her love for the athleticism of ballet. In opening her own studio, she also was determined to provide clients with not only a solid workout, but a sense of community. Zurek’s downtown Littleton studio’s success inspired her to open the second site on Park Meadows Drive in Lone Tree. The studio across the street from Sam’s Club joins a collection of fitness studios along Park Meadows that includes yoga, Pilates and

boxing among other options. Lineberry was among her first clients. “We care about the individual here,” she said. “We know about their families. It’s important to us that they are not only getting their physical needs met. We’re lifting them up, too. This is a place to be, not just a place to come.” The Ballet Physique offers new students an introductory deal of 10 consecutive days of unlimited classes for $20. Regular classes are available on a dropin basis, in multi-class packages or on monthly rates. The Lone Tree studio is at 7600 East Park Meadows Drive.

Never too late to dream, discover a gift Three times she almost quit. The inspiration wasn’t there. Unlike the others in the class, she had never painted, and the challenge of creating something worthy seemed quite overwhelming. In all her 94 years, Jean Barron hadn’t even picked up a paintbrush. She knew nothing about art, didn’t much care for it, had determinedly avoided art museums. But that was before Cézanne’s “The Blue Vase.” And a teacher who broke the work into manageable, unintimidating parts that seamlessly fit together, like pieces of a puzzle. When Jean was done replicating the masterpiece, she looked at her canvas with the blue vase and flowers, fruit scattered on the table. “Did I really paint that?” she thought. “It was just amazing.” Three years later, Jean is passionate about painting. Her work is so good that local TV and newspapers are telling her story. She understands the reason they’re interested is because she discovered this talent so late in life. But then, “to be learning something new,’” she says, “that’s what keeps us young.” Jean, who celebrated her 97th birthday March 18, will tell you she feels quite young. She’s in total agreement with the popular notion that 60 today is the new 40. “I am so blessed with health and, usually, a fairly sound mind,” she says with a slight smile. “I don’t know where the time has gone. I can’t believe I’m as old as I am, and I never expected to be around at this age. … But I don’t feel like I’m older than 60. I don’t feel like I’m 97, my goodness.”

That self-appraisal is encouraging. I, too, recently celebrated a birthday. And like, Jean, I also feel much younger than my 54 years. It turns out that impression isn’t unusual. The older people get, the younger they feel, according to a Pew Research survey. “Moreover,” the report said, “the gap in years between actual age and `felt age’ widens as people grow older.” Nearly half of survey respondents 50 and older said they felt at least 10 years younger, but among those between 65 and 74, one-third felt 10 to 19 years younger and one in six said they felt at least 20 years younger than their age. A New York Times blog in 2008 talked about a study that found people 70 and older generally thought of themselves as 13 years younger. “This concept of how you feel about your age is so important and defines, in a way, how we act,” said Jacqui Smith, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, who was interviewed in the story by Tara Parker-Pope. “If you self-define yourself as someone who is old, then you probably act that way.”

Another Pew study found more than two-thirds of Americans would like to live to between 79 and 100 years old, with the median desired life span being 90 years — about 11 years longer than the U.S. life expectancy of 78.7 years. And statistics show, adults 60 and older — because they are healthier and more active — are living longer. So: We want to live longer. We are living longer. We are living longer better. I like that prognosis, that extended lease on life, because I worry about not having enough time to fulfill my constantly renewing pot of dreams. I hope to be like Jean — healthy, creative, still learning, still looking for new experiences. On this afternoon, she walks slowly, steadily, down the hall to her apartment. She has just returned from a bus trip to the Mayan exhibit at the Museum of Nature and Science. She sits on her sofa, slightly out of breath, but soon recovers. She moved to Colorado from Ohio seven years ago, 21 years after the death of her husband, to be near her two daughters. The days go fast: Exercise and yoga three to four mornings a week, art class every Thursday afternoon, other activities and excursions interspersed. Depending on the week, she spends two to three afternoons painting at the easel she sets up at her kitchen counter. She prefers oils to watercolors because she can more easily correct mistakes. The time she spends coaxing the canvas to life seems almost to stand still. “I get so absorbed. … I lose all track of time — almost a sense of wonder. I guess it’s the creativity and appreciation for the gift that

God has given me.” Since she began, Jean has completed 39 paintings, mostly landscapes, some for her daughters, a handful for friends, many of the Scottish countryside that links her to her heritage. Many hang on the walls throughout her apartment. “I look at my work and I can’t believe I did it, but, well, I didn’t do it,” she says. “The Lord and I did it together. I kept asking the Lord how I could glorify him more in my life, and this was His answer.” That faith, which takes away her worries and stress, is key to her longevity, she believes. “That’s the biggest secret of a contented, healthy, long life.” Needless to say, Jean looks at art differently these days. She enjoys art museums, is curious about the masters and their styles, is fascinated by their different brushstrokes. In her bedroom hang two paintings she did of Monet landscapes, one of a boat on water, the other of a landscape, also with water in it. “I learned he painted on water,” she says, with a touch of wonderment. “He had a boat and he just floated around and did his painting.” That, she says, would be difficult to do. But then, she only has to paint at the easel in her kitchen to find herself transported to a place where there is just the brush and the canvas — and the miracle that comes with it.

Family shares tales of Sandy Hook Forum focuses on commitment to improved school security By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Parents and security experts shared stories both heartbreaking and inspiring during a two-hour forum on school security held March 13 at Parker’s Cimarron Middle School. Parker parents David and Carly Posey, whose children attended Sandy Hook Elementary during the tragic December 2012 mass shooting, highlighted the evening. David Posey now is president of Cimarron’s PTO; the family had made plans to move to Parker before the shooting due to

‘We are ready to do our part to make certain that not just our kids, but all kids are safe at school.’ Carly Posey David’s job transfer. In the Douglas County School District, they say they’ve found a deep sense of security. After watching his teacher and a classmate die, the Posey’s son Reichen fled to safety from a Sandy Hook classroom while the gunman reloaded. He and his siblings now are Douglas County students. “The Douglas County School District has made our children’s safety a top priority, and they haven’t stopped working on this issue,” said Carly Posey, adding that during her years as an involved parent at Sandy Hook, “Never was school security talked about.” When frantic parents gathered at a Newtown, Conn. firehouse after the shooting, Posey said some children mistakenly were sent home with their classmates’ parents, adding to the panic and chaos for parents who later couldn’t find their children. She compared that to the orderly reunification of parents and students that occurred at Cimarron March 7 after a low-credibility bomb threat at nearby Legend High School forced the cancellation of classes. “I’m sure Newtown had some sort of plan on paper, but they never thought they would need it,” she said. The Poseys have joined some Columbine High School parents to create the Sandy Hook Columbine Cooperative, designed to help communities prepare, respond, and recover from a traumatic event. “While part of us will always be with those we love back in Connecticut, Dave and I know from experience it really does take a village to raise a child,” Carly Posey said. “We are so thankful and proud our village is here with you in Colorado. “We are ready to do our part to make certain that not just our kids, but all kids are

safe at school.” John Michael-Keyes, whose daughter Emily was fatally shot at Platte Canyon High School in September 2006, also addressed the audience. Keyes founded the i love u guys Foundation, and is credited as the driving force behind the standard response protocols now used by school districts nationwide. Former hostage negotiator and SAFE2TELL creator Susan Payne, and Douglas County school resource officer Tyler Herman also talked about school security. Though all praised DCSD’s efforts, they agreed much work remains to be done both locally and nationally. Payne said students need continual encouragement to talk about things they hear and see. In almost all cases, the person that conducted a violent act exhibited some alarming behavior before they acted, she said. Those unusual behaviors apply not just to violent acts against others, but potential suicide victims, Payne said. Payne also said sophisticated technology allows officials to track tips and prevent tragedies. Officials tracked a Georgia teen to his home hours after he’d told fellow online gamers about a potential planned school attack. Though the teen said he’d never intended to put his words into action, officers removed seven weapons from his home. Such tips and hotlines likely have prevented two planned school attacks and in Colorado alone, about 80 potential suicides. “We are seeing a culture among adults and children that says, `Look the other way, mind your own business’,” Payne said. “But if we’re going to get information from people, we need to make sure they’re engaged in a two-way dialogue. We have to be engaged and proactive.”

Mountain Vista bringing old schedule back Other district high schools may follow return to lighter teacher loads, shorter off-periods By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com After two years on a block schedule, Mountain Vista High School will return to the more traditional class periods for the 201415 academic year. At least four other Douglas County School District high schools want to follow suit. Mountain Vista parents said the primary reason for veering away from the current 6-of-8 block schedule is to ease teacher workloads, bolster staff morale and ensure quality teachers stay. “Our teachers need to see some victories,” said Curt Coffman, co-chairman

of MVHS’ School Accountability Committee. “They need to see that somebody’s really paying attention to what they can do, and that there is some kind of advocacy there. I think this is one step in the right direction.” Concern about upperclassmen not spending enough time in school also played a part in the decision. Most Douglas County high schools have been on the 6-of-8 schedule for the last two years. Under it, students have fewer classes per day but meet for longer, 90-minute periods than under the 5-of-7 schedule. It also requires all high school teachers to teach an additional class. Mountain Vista will hire seven teachers to evenly distribute the workload on the 5-0f-7 schedule, thanks to a steadily improving economy and rising state funds. Since budget and sched-

uling concerns prompted the block schedule’s implementation in 2012-13, perpupil funding has increased about $280. Because Mountain Vista’s enrollment is growing faster than other high schools, Principal Mike Weaver said, “I think I was the first one that was able to do it feasibly.” He may not be the last. Rock Canyon, Highlands Ranch, Chaparral and ThunderRidge also are contemplating a return to the 5-of-7 schedule, according to a list of budget priorities submitted to the District Accountability Committee earlier this year. “We would like to request that Rock Canyon High School return to a 5/7 schedule to increase instructional minutes and to reduce the number of off periods students have access to,” reads RCHS’ top budget priority submitted Jan. 31.

Instructional time at MVHS will increase by about 20 minutes per-class, per-week under the schedule, which is a return to one last used in 2011-12. Students will see their teachers four times a week instead of three, and have fewer of the long off-periods that have prompted community concern about idle teens. The change also will “meet the needs of some of our teachers who were working so hard…” said Weaver. “I think it was certainly a relief and a boost in morale we were able to (change the schedule).” MVHS is returning to a modified 5-of-7 schedule, with three days a week of 55-minute classes and two days a week of 90-minute block classes. A district leader said all high schools considering a different schedule have DCSD’s blessing.

Career Connect 2014 features new employers Job exploration program for high school students starts April 7 By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Organizers for the fourth annual Career Connect for Douglas County students, have invited several new employers from a variety of industries who’ll offer high school students an inside glimpse at their everyday life on the job. “We’re hoping to make an impact with up to 650 students that can participate in over 30 sessions,” program coordinator Krista Zizzo said. “They’ll get a good idea of careers they’re interested in and careers they aren’t.” The multi-week, afterschool career exploration program begins with student-and-parent orientation from 6 to 8 p.m. April 7 at Parker’s Chaparral High School. The introductory evening is a chance for everyone to meet the employers. Subsequent sessions, held weeknights through April 30 and typically at the participating companies’ offices, are for students only. The sessions are de-

Those who enroll in the veterinarian session will be invited to a Parker animal clinic when the emergency room is open. “If you get a little squeamish at the sight of an animal on the ER stable, it’s good to know that now,” Zizzo said. Careers highlighted during the 2014 sessions include broadcast operations, chiropractic, construction management, culinary arts, dentistry, engineering, emergency services, forensic science, environmental studies, healthcare, technology, law enforce-

ment, military, nursing, real estate and writing among others. New to this year’s lineup is aviation, cosmetology and alternative energy. “We’ve expanded beyond the original offerings,” Zizzo said. The 2014 selections also include returns of some old favorites. “One of the most popular is a session hosted by (coroner) Lora Thomas called `What the coroner really does,’” Zizzo said. “That was the first to sell out last year. I can tell just with four days open, it’s going be the same this year.” Culinary arts also is

again generating early interest, Zizzo said. The Colorado Culinary Academy, based in Greenwood Village, will host students at their school for an evening of cooking. “We’re going to take them inside the classroom and let them prepare dinner as a group, in a professional setting,” admissions and student services director Paul Kelly said. Culinary program students also will learn about the fast-changing world of nutrition and cuisine, and the opportunities that presents. “The industry itself is doing a shift, and part of it is because the United States food scene is maturing,” Kelly said. “Food scene wise, we’re starting to catch up with Europe.” Kelly described the ground-to-table movement in which consumers increasingly are demanding a return to simpler, more wholesome foods. “It is not all about chains,” he said. “There is creativity attached to it. And you have to understand the business to be able to run the operation.” For more information and to register, visit sponsor the Douglas County Educational Foundation’s website at www.dcefcolorado.org.

Cyberbullying bill passes House By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia. com A bill that would make it a crime to “cyberbully” a child — bullying through technological platforms that include social media — passed the House on March 12, but not before Republicans raised concerns about the legislation’s punishment structure, which makes it a greater crime to target certain groups of people. The legislation aims to address a growing trend where kids are subjected to teasing and humiliation through cell phones or the Internet, often leading to emotional problems and sometimes resulting in suicide. “Many of the children who are

bullied never tell anybody,” said Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, a bill sponsor. “If there is a child out there who is bullied, please tell an adult. Don’t suffer that emotional harm alone.” Fields’ bill drew large bipartisan support, having cleared the House following a 54-10 vote. But Republicans who voted for the bill said they hope the Senate takes up their concerns over what they feel is a fairness issue. House Bill 1131 would make cyberbullying a class 2 misdemeanor, but it creates a greater, class 1 misdemeanor penalty in cases where the victims are targeted because of their race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or physical or mental disability. A class 1 misdemeanor conviction carries with it a possible jail term of

6-18 months and fines that can reach $5,000. Those found guilty of a class 2 misdemeanor face the possibility of spending between 3 and 12 months behind bars and a fine of up to $2,500. Rep. Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs, said there was “no reason to make a distinction” based on particular groups of victims, and tried to amend the bill to punish all cases under a singular class 1 misdemeanor. Democrats pushed back against Republican arguments, saying that certain groups of people are harmed more than others, when bullied. House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, who is gay and who was once a special education student, said that being bullied “hit in my core in a different way that it did other people.”

“Buildings make their own decisions, as we’ve said all along,” said Dan McMinimee, assistant superintendent of secondary education. “I love the fact they have the dollars right now to even have the conversation.” DCSD requires schools to meet specific criteria in any schedule they choose, McMinimee said, including keeping core class sizes to 30 students or fewer, retaining all electives, meeting required instructional minutes and not capping the number of classes a student can take. Mountain Vista surveyed teachers and students before making the decision,

especially juniors and seniors who’d experienced both schedules and have the off-periods that concerned some. “Obviously, kids enjoyed the free time (under the block),” Weaver said. “My follow-up question was, `Have you used the time wisely?’ About 50 percent used the time wisely and 50 percent not so much. “They’re still going to have time off. There just won’t be the possibility they’ll have three (90-minute) block periods off.” Under the block, Weaver said some students only were spending about 60 percent of the instructional day in classes.

Executive session bill worth another listen Click on, click off. A bill that would have likely decreased numbers of times recording machines are turned on and off at school board executive sessions was tabled last week. The bill had some traction and seemingly enough votes to clear the Senate Judicial Committee before it was pulled by state Sen. Mary Hodge, D-Adams County, who said there were enough votes to clear the House but not the Senate. The bill would have required attorneyclient discussions during school board executive sessions to be recorded, no longer excluded from being recorded with other portions of executive session topics and interactions. Had the measure passed, the recorded information would have been only made available to the public after a ruling by a judge finding that matters that should have been public were discussed behind closed

our view doors — which is the standard for all other recorded executive session topics. We like the idea of the entirety of executive sessions being recorded. In our estimation, having the executive sessions taped and safely stored in case they require review by a judge has worked very well. It provides another measure of accountability — another mechanism in the name of good government. On the face of the argument, taping an attorney-client discussion can seem just plain wrong, and we understand opposition arising from the Colorado Bar Association, but school boards are doing the busi-

letter to the editor Thank you for positive coverage

I want to thank you for the great local coverage you provide. I am so disgusted with the Denver Post and their neglect of youth sports, and their negative coverage of Arapahoe High School. You have provided great coverage,

where it is fun again for students to get their picture in the paper for their accomplishments. You have been positive with the healing of Arapahoe, instead of finding extreme parents to knock the community back again. I really appreciate it. D. D. Walsh Highlands Ranch

Passion fuels purpose, drives performance Have you ever been truly inspired, I mean really fired up about something? Maybe it’s a new job, a physical or financial goal, a project, a relationship, a fresh start. When we are fueled by passion — and a desire to engage in the pursuit of our goals — our performance is enhanced regardless of what we are doing. Passion fuels purpose, purpose drives performance, performance leads to results, and results inspire hope. The passionate student will study hard and complete homework assignments in the pursuit of good grades and higher education opportunities. The passionate salesperson will make prospecting calls and learn everything they can about their products, industry, and potential customers recognizing that their efforts will directly impact their income. The passionate spouse will remember all the little things that ignite romance as they continue to enjoy a healthy and love filled relationship. There are so many examples that I can share but what I am talking about here is that when we have passion we will do the behaviors necessary to achieve the levels of success that we so desire. As I talk with people who feel like their personal performance or results have plateaued or even slipped or dipped, a simple diagnostic discussion about their behaviors quickly reveals that there is a loss of interest, a lack of desire, and a bit of mystification about their purpose. We have to remember that we cannot manage our results; we can only manage our behaviors. And our behaviors are largely driven by our passion. You can imagine what happens to the student that stops studying or doing homework. And what would happen to the salesperson that stopped making calls to

prospects or customers? And all of us can probably remember a time when we missed an opportunity to show our spouse a little more love and affection. I have a few friends that are really into fitness and even though they may not feel like getting to the gym or following a healthy diet, they do it because they are passionate about their physical fitness goals. I know many salespeople who really dislike, maybe even hate making prospecting or cold calls, but they do it because they are passionate about their income potential. And I know some of the best business owners and managers who make sacrifices and nurture their teams because they are passionate about their people and seeing them succeed personally and professionally. It starts with passion and provides us with hope. And when we have that passion and we are inspired by hope we will do the behaviors necessary to take us where we want to be in all aspects of our life. What are you passionate about? What gets you really fired up? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when our behaviors are driven by our passion, our results and hope will really make this a better than good week.

ness of the public — the taxpayers — and thereby should be held to higher accountability with safely secured recordings of its exchanges with attorneys. The bill also required that executive session minutes reflect the number of minutes spent on each topic. This adds details that could be provided with little extra effort — another good government measure — but is secondary to whether the additional recording takes place. From the chair of reporters through the years, we notice that elected officials — especially the newly elected — don’t always sync into the role of doing public business in public. It feels much more natural for decision-makers, many from the private sector, to privately discuss and craft decisions and then either adopt an action or compile a report for review at another level.

This is a central reason it is so important to check executive sessions and make sure participants don’t stray from the appropriate closed-door topics, which are generally pending litigation, personnel matters and negotiations. Further, at the Statehouse, debate included talk that this measure should be extended to city councils, where we see various amounts of executive sessions and various concerns across the state, but we are not so sure that should be the next move. Instead we believe this issue with school boards is worth another go around independently at some point, and whether this aspect of executive sessions is changed or not, every debate related to executive sessions and open meetings serves as a strong reminder of the attention to the law required in doing the public’s business in the open.

‘So you want to be a rock ‘n’ roll star’ This is about as close to music as I can get. I am going to string together some songs and lyrics. “Regrets? I’ve had a few” (“My Way”), and almost all of them were in the aftermath of “stumbling down drunken roads” (Dave Matthews’ Folsom Field version of “Two Step”). One of my biggest regrets is that I can’t read or play music. I can paint and draw, thankfully, but I wish that I had picked up a guitar at the same time I was picking up crayons. “Late yesterday night” (“From a Window” written by Lennon and McCartney and given to Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas), I watched a documentary about the history of the electric guitar. I almost wept. It was on the Smithsonian Channel. The same names kept coming up: Gibson, Fender, Les Paul and then later Jimi Hendrix. I think if I had three wishes, one of them would be this: to play “Walk Don’t Run” on a Fender Stratocaster. “Does that make me crazy? Does that make me crazy?” (“Crazy” by Gnarls Barkley). Sinéad O’Connor said, “I don’t want what I haven’t got.” Easy for her to say. I want what I don’t have. I want to play a “perfectly good guitar” (John Hiatt). I want to play like Mark Knopfler for Jennifer. I want to play lead guitar on “Lady Writer” for Jennifer. About all I can do is whistle. I don’t

I just read about them on the Internet, and I am still in the dark. “The key of a piece of music usually refers to the tonic note and chord, which gives a subjective sense of arrival and rest.” I used to drink vodka with a tonic note. Not the same thing. Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) could probably pick up a $10 ukulele and make it sound great. I am in awe when I watch a singer sing and play guitar at the same time. I can’t do either one separately. I watched Harry Connick, Jr. go around his orchestra at Red Rocks, and play every instrument. I wanted to strangle him.

DougCo expands helicopter service contract n

New agreement with Rampart rtantpart of county’s `hard, heavy, sure fast’ wildfire strategy pri-

rally By Hannah Garcia and hgarcia@coloradocommunitymeida.com

In anticipation of yet another dry fire be season, the county is expanding the scope e of a contract it has with a helicopter service used to fight wildfires. but At a March 11 meeting, the county comext missioners unanimously approved a request from the Office of Emergency Management to replace the existing agreement und with Rampart Helicopter Services. ther The new contract would expand exclunged sive use time period for up to six months e starting on April 1 through the end of Sepa tember. law Under exclusive use, the service is guarin anteed to be available when needed in case a wildfire ignites in Douglas County. The new agreement also expands the scope of services to law enforcement, public safety and search-and-rescue missions. The agreement is an improvement on last year’s agreement, which limited the exclusive use time period to two months, according to commissioner Roger Partridge. The county can also still use the company on a callwhen-needed basis. “It’s an insurance policy,” said Tim Johnson, Douglas County director of emergency management. “These guys are very busy. There’s a possibility that they would be gone during a critical time” and would be

Douglas County has expanded its exclusive contract with Rampart Helicopter Services in anticipation of another dry fire season in the region. File photo unavailable without the exclusive-use provision. The expanded agreement is part of the county’s wildfire prevention strategy, with commissioners and emergency management staff citing a refrain of “hard, heavy and fast” to describe its plan. Annual costs will not exceed $806,500, according to the contract. Last year the county budgeted around $300,000 for the service and used $229,000. The preventative cost is offset by the possibility of greater loss in the event of a catastrophic fire, Partridge said. The new

agreement comes after wildfires have struck surrounding counties in the last few years, such as the Black Forest fire in El Paso County that killed two people, destroyed hundreds of homes and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damages. The cost to fight the fire in El Paso County last year was around $9 million. “I don’t think it ever became as obvious to me (how necessary the service is) until tragedy struck surrounding counties,” commissioner Jill Repella said at the meeting. “The aftermath is a negative hit to a county’s budget.”

The county commission also awarded payments in lieu of taxes, federal funding for local governments that help offset property tax losses from non-taxable federal lands within their boundaries, to five fire districts that provide coverage for the Pike National Forest Lands in the county. The county has paid $50,000 to these districts each year since 2002, but increased the funding to $100,000 in 2014. The amount of funding is based on the number of calls the agencies receive. The five fire districts who received a slice of that funding were Mountain Communities Fire Protection District with $33,000, West Douglas Fire Protection District with $26,000, North Fork Fire Protection District with $20,000, Jackson 105 Fire Protection District with $14,000 and Larkspur Fire Protection District with $7,000. The county is also providing a free wildfire workshop, focusing on mitigation and preparation, from 9 a.m. to noon on April 5 at the Douglas County Events Center, located at 500 Fairgrounds Drive in Castle Rock. The workshop will provide information regarding wildfire hazard reduction techniques, community wildfire mitigation and preparedness efforts, and evacuation planning and insurance needs. Interested residents should RSVP for the workshop by March 28 to jalexand@douglas.co.us. For more information, visit www.douglas. co.us/building/wildfire/ “The Front Range is now experiencing more intense, larger fires,” Johnson said. “When it’s our turn in the barrel, so to speak, we want to be ready for that.”

Bill offers tax assistance to flood victims Members of both parties back legislation to help homeowners By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A bill that aims to provide tax relief for homeowners whose properties were wiped out by last year’s floods passed a House committee with bipartisan support on March 12. Under the bill, residents whose homes were destroyed by floods that decimated parts of Colorado last September would not be required to pay property taxes going back to January 2013. County assessors and treasurers already provide tax relief under those circumstances, but only retroactively to the period when the natural disaster occurred. The bill is a response to last year’s floods, but it would also apply to other types of natural disasters, including wildfires. “I like to call this bill the `no insult to injury’ bill,” said Rep. Jonathan Singer, DLongmont, a bill sponsor, who was presenting his legislation to the House Finance Committee. “Or at least the, `if the county assessor can’t find you, he can’t tax you’ bill.” If the bill becomes law, county assessors and treasurers would notify the state of a property that was cleared of tax payments after having been destroyed. The state would then pay the county for the amount of taxes that the county would have otherwise collected.

If enacted, the legislation would cost the state more than $2 million in lost tax revenue. The bill would help homeowners who are waiting for a Federal Emergency Management Agency buyback — a program where the federal government buys homes that are significantly damaged by natural disasters. However, the FEMA buyback process can take a while to finalize and the wait has impacted people like Brad Rollins of Lyons. Rollins testified that he and his mother own a home that was destroyed by flooding and that it’s difficult for them to pay bills, especially since he’s unemployed and his mother collects Social Security benefits. “Our house is condemned,” Rollins said. “We cannot touch it because of the FEMA buyback. We don’t know how long this will take.” Singer’s bill did receive some push back from a couple members of the committee. Rep. Lori Saine, a Weld County Republican, voted against the bill, saying she was uncomfortable with giving homeowners tax credits for the months when their properties were intact, before the flooding occurred. “It’s a dangerous precedent, giving tax credit for a property that hasn’t been damaged, by going back in time,” she said. Rep. Jeanne Labuda, D-Denver, ended up voting for the bill despite her concern over the legislation not containing a sunset clause, an expiration date that would allow a future Legislature to examine the effectiveness of the bill at a later time. She said

that’s important in case another recession hits years from now. “Maybe the state won’t have money down the road,” Labuda said. Singer said the extended tax waiver will help homeowners who deal with “costs as-

sociated with the flood that are still unanticipated at this point.” “This at least takes less money from those people who could be spending that money to recover from the floods,” Singer said.

On odd days, it would be the intro of “Summertime Blues,” by Eddie Cochran. “I’d like to help you son, but you’re too young to vote.” I have a double-CD of guitar music that I have listened to over and over. Christopher Parkening. For years I had heard Parkening one selection at a time. When I heard the double-CD for the first time “my heart stood still” (Rogers & Hart). I repeat them both, and it fills an entire Sunday afternoon. Acoustic guitar is very pleasing, but it

doesn’t have the same adrenaline as electric guitar. The intro of “Substitute” by The Who just wouldn’t be the same. I have a pinched ulnar nerve in my right hand, so even if I studied guitar, I would be limited. I know it’s a lost cause. Don’t tell me an old dog can learn new tricks. An old dog will never be able to play the guitar solo in “Time” like David Gilmour (Pink Floyd). “Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.” That’s what this column is called: “Quiet Desperation.” Pink Floyd took it from a Henry David Thoreau poem. If I tried to play, well, my guitar would “gently weep” (Beatles). And weep. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

School board transparency bill dies Lack of support in Senate cited as reason for killing effort By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Legislation aimed at creating greater transparency for what happens behind closed doors at school board meetings will not happen this year. A bill sponsor on March 12 asked a Senate committee to indefinitely postpone the legislation, meaning that the bill is dead this year. The legislation would have required that all conversations that take place during school board executive sessions be recorded, including those involving attorney-client discussions. Sen. Mary Hodge, D-Brighton, said she had enough votes for House Bill 1110 to clear the Senate Judiciary Committee. However, getting it past the full Senate was going to be an entirely different story. Hodge — who sponsored the bill with Rep. Cherylin Peniston, D-Westminster — said the bill was one vote short of the support needed to pass the Senate. That vote belonged to Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver. Steadman said he had concerns that the bill only targeted school boards and no other governing bodies, such as city councils. But Steadman’s “overriding” concerns had to do with attorneyclient matters. Current law already requires that school

board executive sessions be recorded. The bill would have expanded that requirement to include attorney-client conversations. All Republicans and a few Democrats voted against the bill in the House, in part over concerns that lawyers wouldn’t be able to Help Wanted have effective conversations with their clients, if there was a possibility that those discussions could be made public. “I think there’s some concerns for me about the precedent it would have set,” said Steadman, who is an attorney. Under the bill, recordings of executive sessions would have been stored and would be made available through a court petition process. A judge would have listened to a recording upon a filer’s request and would have been tasked with determining whether that information should be made public. The bill was a response to recent controversies over transparency issues involving school boards in Douglas and Jefferson counties. The DCSD board has been the subject of criticism over its use of executive sessions. The conservative board has pushed for controversial reforms, including those that would limit the influence of unions. New conservative members of the Jefferson County board have also received criticism. Hodge said she is disappointed over the outcome of the bill, but that she expects this effort to be taken up again next year. “I think it’s an important issue,” she said. “I think transparency should always be paramount.”

Suspect in chase to be prosecuted in Douglas County Ryan Stone being held on multimillion dollar bond By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com The man suspected of leading authorities on a perilous pursuit that stretched more than 50 miles through four counties went from a hospital room to a jail cell March 13. Ryan Cole Stone, 28, was transferred to the Douglas County Detention Facility in Castle Rock after being treated for injuries sustained in a chain of accidents he allegedly caused, including the violent Tbone collision that ended the chase March 12. Stone, who was wanted on warrants for auto theft, burglary and failure to appear in court on drug charges, now faces a longer list of criminal charges and

will be prosecuted in Douglas County, said George Brauchler, district attorney for the 18th Judicial District, at a news conference the day after the pursuit. Stone was expected to appear at a March 19 hearing for a formal filing of charges. The Centennial resident made his first court appearance March 14 and is being held on Stone bonds of $2.5 million and $1 million. It is unknown if he has retained an attorney. There are several reasons for prosecuting Stone in Douglas County that best serve the interests of Colorado, said Boulder County DA Stan Garnett. District attorneys from the affected jurisdictions are “amassing information” and part-

nering with each other to “make sure the charges reflect the true victims out there,” he said. A Colorado State Patrol trooper suffered “lower extremity leg injuries” after being struck by a gold minivan Stone was driving near E-470 and Chambers Road. The trooper, Bellamann Hee, was released from the hospital shortly after and will undergo extensive rehabilitation. No other injuries were reported. The state patrol’s interim chief, Scott Hernandez, said Colorado should be proud of its law enforcement agencies and media outlets. Cooperation and coordination between police helped limit the number of exit points for Stone as he drove south on Interstate 25 at speeds reaching more than 100 mph. Media coverage, particularly by a KOA new helicopter that tracked the pursuit from the air, was

“really critical,” Hernandez said, because officers had to discontinue the chase several times out of fear for public safety and the wellbeing of a 4-year-old boy in the first stolen vehicle, taken in Longmont. The suspect “showed no regard for human life” and police breathed a sigh of relief because Stone did not enter areas where there was “more potential for damage,” like a school zone, he said. Douglas County Sheriff David Weaver said Stone ran at least six vehicles off the road. Brauchler lauded the maneuver by a Douglas County Sheriff’s deputy that prevented Stone from escaping by vehicle after the crash at Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street, across from The Wildlife Experience. “I’m not sure if this ends if not for that last-second maneuver,” he said. Stone ran for a short distance, but was taken into

Parker woman dies in Lone Tree crash Police say driver drifted into oncoming lane of RidgeGate Parkway By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia. com A 54-year-old Parker woman died early March 12 in a head-on collision on RidgeGate Parkway in Lone Tree. Donna Marie Ryan died of multiple

blunt force injuries after the collision on RidgeGate about a mile east of Peoria Street, according to reports from the coroner’s office and Lone Tree police. A 27-year-old man driving east on RidgeGate drifted into the westbound lane at about 8:45 a.m., crashing headon into Ryan’s vehicle. She died at the scene, according to police. The male driver was taken to Littleton Hospital with unknown injuries. Drugs or alcohol are not suspected

as factors in the crash. An investigation into the accident is ongoing, and the case will be presented to the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office. The fatal accident occurred half an hour after 28-year-old Ryan Stone ended his multi-jurisdictional highspeed chase with a crash at the nearby intersection of Peoria Street and Lincoln Avenue. Stone’s crash and the subsequent investigation backed up and diverted traffic throughout the area for about two hours.

custody after trying to climb a fence into the Windsor at Meridian Apartments. When Brauchler was asked why Stone was free, given his lengthy rap sheet and outstanding warrants, the DA said authorities attempted to take him into custody March 4 without success.

“If things had gone the way they’re supposed to in court, would this have happened? That’s a fair question,” he said. Chief deputy district attorney Jason Siers and deputy district attorney Laura Wilson will represent the state.

Firefighter calms the chaos Centennial resident Jon Adams named ‘firefighter of the year’ By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Jon Adams, South Metro Fire Rescue’s firefighter of the year, thanked his colleagues and supporters after receiving the award March 8, singling out his wife and three kids for their sacrifices. Courtesy photo

To Jon Adams, bringing stability and a sense of calm to an emergency situation is “the greatest thing in the world.” Most people wouldn’t last two minutes in his position. But Adams has become proficient enough to be named South Metro Fire Rescue’s “Firefighter of the Year,” an honor not taken lightly by the 17-year veteran of the fire service. He received the award during a ceremony March 8. Adams doesn’t directly fight fires or rescue people trapped in cars. Instead, he is the guy who stands on the sidelines, continually evaluating and weighing the risks involved with each operation. As a safety officer, Adams monitors radio traffic from command staff and instructs personnel accordingly. For all of the jobs that require split-second decision-making skills, his is arguably the most important. And there are always variables. “We have a set playbook — our standard operating guidelines — but you can’t write

a policy for everything we go on,” he says. “It’s a fine balance. We know what we do is risky, but the risk we’re taking is worth the benefit.” The Centennial resident has worked scenes of unspeakable tragedy; he responded to New York City days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks to shore up debris to allow for victim recovery. He also went on a 30-day deployment to the Gulf Coast after it was ravaged by successive hurricanes — Katrina and Rita. Most recently, he served as a safety officer for the Black Forest fire and the Boulder-area floods. Every deployment has been voluntary. Emergency response is a constantlyevolving discipline. Adams joined Colorado Task Force One in spring 2001, not knowing what was to come. Now he and his colleagues must be prepared for everything from school shootings to terrorist attacks to hazardous material spills. Adams also leads continuing education courses for South Metro’s veterans and newbies. Like a professional athlete, he and his team routinely gather in the morning to watch footage of emergency responses from the day before. They diligently take notes while observing “how the incident went based on their tactics,” he says.

An on-scene video created during a massive house fire in Parker last year went viral. A fellow safety officer was credited with avoiding a disaster when he ordered all firefighters out of the home minutes before a major collapse. Departments nationwide have sent notes thanking South Metro for making the “lessons learned” video. “It highlighted what we’re all about,” said Adams, who is based out of South Metro’s Joint Services Facility in Parker. Aside from the support of his colleagues, Adams, 37, says there is another team just as critical to his success: his wife and three kids. Their patience and understanding, he says, is immeasurable. Born and raised in Colorado, Adams always knew he wanted to work in a team environment. At first he thought it would be as a surgeon, but he decided he didn’t want to be in school for that long. Then, as an athlete at Arapahoe High School, he wanted to be a professional baseball player until a coach told him to turn his focus elsewhere. One EMT class at Arapahoe Community College later, he was hooked. “I made the best choice: to take care of people when they don’t know what to do” he said. “It’s a lot of pressure, but it’s fun. After 17 years, everything I’ve done prepares you for that.”

South Metro Denver Chamber mounts Calendar of Events BIG push for the B.I.G. Day With a 6 weeks to go, The South Metro Denver Chamber’s Nonprofit & Business Partnership is pushing to fill the last slots left for the 4th Annual B.I.G. Day taking place on Saturday, April 26th. 25 non-profits have signed up for the event. This year’s goal is to have over 1,000 volunteers helping local non-profits with whatever needs doing between 8:30 and noon on the B.I.G. Day. B.I.G. stands for “Be Involved, Give.” “Last year we had hundreds of volunteers working together in a wide variety of projects,” said Chamber President and CEO John Brackney. “You don’t have to be a chamber member to volunteer so we encourage businesses, service clubs, church groups and families to join us in rolling up our sleeves to make a difference on this most special day.” Examples of the types of volunteer opportunities range from weeding and planting at the Denver Botanic Gardens, putting meals together for TLC Meals on Wheels, sort and load medical supplies with Project CURE, cleaning parks with the South Suburban Park Foundation,

Volunteers plant new growth at the Denver Botanic Gardens during last year’s B.I.G. Day.

packing food boxes for distribution at the Action Center and many others both indoors and out. Many projects allow young children to help when accompanied by an adult - a great way to teach community involvement. At last year’s B.I.G. Day, both nonprofits and volunteers alike said the B.I.G. Day was just that: Brien Darby, Manager of the Denver Botanic Gardens community gardening program was thrilled with the experience. “I presented them with some very big tasks with a lot of digging and heavy lifting and they were just about the most enthusiastic group I have ever worked with! We completed all the tasks I had planned and even started on a few additional projects. I really appreciate the level of teamwork and “ready for anything” attitude that we consistently receive from volunteers participating in the BIG help day.” “The BIG day was such a rewarding experience for me. Helping Spa4thePink alongside an amazing group of people really showed me what a difference we can make in our community,” said volunteer Mary Soldwisch of Nexus Web Studio. Businesses, organizations and even families can also bring their work force together and sign up as a team to help a nonprofit. Organization and company teams will be given special marketing opportunities and recognition. “If at first you succeed, then do it again,” says Brackney. “On Saturday April 26th, we plan on doing just that. In just one morning you, your family, club or business can truly make a difference in our community, meet and learn about the great non-profits that serve our area and best of all have great fun doing it.” The B.I.G. Day isn’t all work and no play. After a full morning of volunteering, participants are invited to the South Metro Denver Chamber offices for a celebration full of fun and

Sun and shadow, vine and cheese… Colorado Watercolor Society’s annual exhibition in 23rd year By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Eighty-eight paintings hang in the spacious Lone Tree Arts Center lobby and hallway; watercolors selected from Colorado Watercolor Society members by juror Carl Dalio. Dalio, a nationally recognized painter and teacher from Sedona, Ariz., originally was trained as an architect. While in Denver to jury this show, he also presented a workshop for CWS members. Dalio awarded the Best in Show honor to Frank Francese of Grand Junction for his “Keebler Pass.” It features strong light and shadow contrasts in a crisp, fresh looking, skillfully painted mountain landscape with a stream that almost bubbles, bright patches of sun and a dark sky. Francese teaches workshops across the nation and internationally and one

“Keebler Pass” by Frank Francese won Best of Show in the annual Colorado Watercolor Society’s state exhibit. Photo by Sonya Ellingboe sees from his website that one is scheduled in Littleton in October at Judy Patti’s busy Studio, 5849 S. Broadway. There are many other winners — too numerous to mention them all — but we note Linda Olmstead’s “Lone Star,” an abstract in intense reds that won the Pikes Peak Watercolor Society Award;

Rick Forsyth’s almost print-like “Two Ladies at a Mosque, which won first honorable mention and Cindy Brabec-King’s large, mouthwatering “Vine and Cheese,” which was awarded second honorable mention. Tanis Bula of Littleton, known for her florals, won the Pained Toe Society’s

award for her handsome “Iris in Sunlight” and Littleton’s Joyce Shelton won a fourth honorable mention for her whimsical “Dog’s Best Friend.” The variety in techniques and styles makes this a worthwhile exhibit to visit for those trying to master this tricky medium, as well as for those who have done so. One will still wonder: “How did she do that?” when looking closely at some of the varied and intricate effects. If only the lighting were better. When the center was built, the acoustics in the theater received precise attention with excellent results, but some advice from a lighting expert is still in order for maximum effective presentation of visual artwork. We feel confident that it will happen. If you go: The 23rd Annual State Exhibition of the Colorado Watercolor Society runs through March 30 at the Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree. Gallery hours: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and prior to performances. Art sales can be handled through the box office. Admission is free.

Distinctive jurors keep heat turned up By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com Testosterone bounces off those gorgeous rugs that surround the intimate theater space as Cherry Creek Theatre starts its fourth season with a strong, well-defined production of Reginald Rose’s “12 Angry Men.” This is ensemble work at its very best. Director Bernie Cardell has worked with each actor in the cast — they range from veterans to young Josh Lamb — to channel 12 different personalities and 12 distinct re-

sponses to an accusation of a young man of murdering his father. The dozen are locked in a jury room to decide a man’s fate — and the audience is locked in with them, involved in discussion about whether it’s too hot — or is there an uncomfortable draft from the window? Should the accused “burn” as volatile juror No. 3 (Jude Moran) advocates? Is he suspect just because he is “one of them” per juror No. 10 (Ken Street)? Or is there “reasonable doubt” as juror No. 8 (Eric Sandvold) believes? Juror No. 8 initially is the only one not

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF MaR 10, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to apr 19) although you tend to bore easily and leave others to finish what you start, this is one time when you’d be wise to complete things on your own. Then you can move on to something new. TAURUS (apr 20 to May 20) Your indecision about a personal situation might come out of those mixed signals you’re getting. Best not to make any commitments until you have a better sense of how things are going. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) a dispute appears to be getting out of hand. But you should be able to step in and bring it all under control soon. Be patient. News about a potential career move might be delayed.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Career obligations could interfere with important personal plans. But using a combination of common sense and compromise helps resolve the dilemma to everyone’s satisfaction. LEO (Jul 23 to aug 22) a stressful situation drains some of your energy reserves. But you soon bounce back in time to finish your tasks and enjoy a welldeserved weekend getaway. VIRGO (aug 23 to Sept 22) This is a good time to throw a party for friends and colleagues and surprise them with your dazzling domestic skills. You also might want to reconsider that career move you put on hold. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) a sudden change of mind by someone you relied on could cause a delay in moving ahead with your plans. But those whom you’ve helped out before are prepared to return the favor. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) You start the week feeling too shy to speak up in front of others. However, your self-assurance soon takes over, giving you the confidence you need to make yourself heard. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) One way to deal with a pesky personal dilemma this week is to meet it head-on. Insist on an explanation of why the situation reached this point and what can be done to change it. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) The creative Capricorn finds several outlets for her or his talents this week. also note that while a romantic connection looks promising, remember to allow it to develop on its own. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) You stand out this week as the best friend a friend can have. But be careful that you don’t take too many bows, or you might see gratitude replaced with resentment. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) What seems to be an ideal investment should be checked out thoroughly before you snap at the offer and find yourself hooked by an expensive scam.

vent certain cancers and other foods have been scientifically shown to help cause certain cancers.” She adds that women have a one-in-three chance of developing cancer and men and newborns a one-in-two chance in their lifetime. Her own diagnosis began with lymphoma and moved to late-stage fallopian tube cancer, which she beat initially, and then followed through ongoing research on foods as a way to prevent recurrence. Braun will appear at 7:30 p.m. March 28 at Tattered Cover, 9315 Dorchester Street in Highlands Ranch, to introduce her beautifully-produced new book, “The Ultimate Braun Anti-Cancer Cookbook” and talk about her upbeat approach to living well. She says that representatives from the Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance will also be present to talk about early warning signs. The book is printed on heavy paper, with fine photographs of the fruits, vegetables and breads she advocates, as well as commentary on preparation and appealing recipes. It should offer helpful ideas to patients and those who cook for them — as well as those on a preventative path. Most recipes contain a good many ingredients, but Braun offers a page on her idea of pantry basics, which would be a place to start, followed by a weekly shopping trip. There are lists of foods to avoid (red meat, salt, processed meats, sugars, fats… nothing the reader hasn’t already heard, but all in one place here.) And there are lists of foods to seek out, of course, which should make Braun’s route to health seem easy and appealing.

PAM BRAUN’S STUFFED FRENCH TOAST • 4 pieces whole gain or whole wheat bread • 4 T almond butter • 2 bananas, sliced thin, longways • 4 large strawberries, sliced thinly • ½ cup fresh blueberries • 2 eggs • 1 cup non-fat or soy milk • 1 teaspoon cinnamon • 1 Teaspoon salt, ½ Teaspoon almond extract zest of one large orange • Zest of one large lemon • ¼ cup chopped walnuts, toasted • Dusting of powdered sugar (optional) • Canola oil spray Directions: Spread almond butter evenly on 4 pieces of bread and assemble with filling: banana, berries. Cut sandwiches in quarters diagonally, dip in egg/milk/ cinnamon/salt/almond extract and cook on griddle or skillet sprayed with canola oil. Top with zest, walnuts and light powdered sugar. Serves 2-3 with fresh fruit compote. Appendices at the back give references to specific studies, specific beneficial contents in a given vegetable, herb, spice or fruit, etc. She says that since she works, she spends several hours on Sundays preparing soups, casseroles, salad ingredients for the week ahead, both refrigerating and freezing servings for future use. She begins her book with a section on breakfasts, from which we share a stuffed French Toast. She follows with all the standard cookbook sections — except the ingredients include her own whole grain breads; fresh herbs and vegetables and fruits; beans and grains, extra nuts and careful preparation methods. (Think a main dish of Curried, Bulgur-stuffed Zucchini, Roasted Vegetable Salad or a dessert of Grilled Fruit Kabobs with Chocolate.)

Mountain Vista falls in Final Four Fossil Ridge ends Golden Eagles’ dream season in state semis

“We’ll regroup and start working for next year and see what we can do,” said Wood. “We have a good group of guys back. We have three guys that played a lot of ball. Ray Beresford, Subart and Issac Phillips have all played a lot. It’s the other kids’ turn. That is kind of the exciting thing about high school basketball, the next guy has to be ready to play. “It was a heck of a season. Us and Denver East were the only two teams that made it back to the Final Four. And East had everybody back basically. The last three years us and Arapahoe are the only teams that made it to the Final Eight three years in a row. It’s hard. Everyone but the champion loses its last game.” This year’s champion was Denver East, which trumped Fossil Ridge, 70-49, March 15.

By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com After a season loaded with significant wins, it took just a little over five minutes for Mountain Vista to watch their state title hopes dashed. Fossil Ridge downed the Golden Eagles, 79-62, in a Class 5A state semifinal game March 14 at the CU Events Center and it was a five-minute, 40-second Mountain Vista scoring drought in the second period that sparked the Sabercats runaway victory. Mountain Vista led 28-24 after Jake Pemberton’s basket with 6:20 to play in the second quarter but then the Golden Eagles went silent as the Sabercats reeled off 16 consecutive points. The Golden Eagles turned the ball over twice and missed seven shots on eight possessions during the drought. Fossil Ridge outscored Mountain Vista 21-4 over the final 6:20 before halftime to grab an 11-point lead. “The first quarter we played pretty well then after that run in the second quarter they pretty much controlled the game from then on,” admitted Vista coach Bob Wood. “We thought we had a good chance coming into the game but they definitely outplayed us.” Fossil Ridge, which shot 28of-49 from the field, finished the game shooting 57.1 percent from the floor, held a 37-21 rebounding advantage, and led by 21 points going into the fourth quarter. Vista could never get its transition game untracked and scored only 16 points off turnovers, a low total for a Golden Eagles’ team that thrived all season on opponents’ turnovers. “They did a good job of handling our pressure, hit a lot of 3-pointers and made their shots,” said Wood. “It seemed like when we got a little behind, we took some questionable shots, didn’t

Photo by Paul DiSalvo knock them down and got further behind. In the third quarter that seemed to continue then in the fourth quarter we pulled ourselves together and played pretty well.” Mountain Vista trimmed the Sabercats’ lead to 13 points early in the final quarter but Fossil Ridge never faltered. “We had some chances,” said Wood. “They pretty much controlled us. They were a talented

team. They brought back every player from last year. Basically we had two kids that played and one starter. We had four new starters. “They made all their shots. It’s tough to come into this gym and make your shots. They did. The other problem was they handled the pressure. We didn’t force a lot of turnovers and that’s a big part of our game. We knew they were a little better inside and they pounded it in there pretty good.”

Pemberton, Vista’s 6-foot-4 senior who will play next season at the University of Denver, took game-high scoring honors with 24 points. Junior guard Brady Shubart had 14 points while 6-3 senior Graham Smith was the Golden Eagles’ top rebounder with six. Mountain Vista, which lost for the second straight season in the state semifinals, will graduate six seniors from a team that finished 25-2.

Akron’s Brady Baer eclipsed Mountain Vista assistant coach Brian Wood’s Colorado career scoring record March 13. Wood, who played for his father Bob at Buena Vista between 1997-2001, scored 2,551 points in four seasons. Baer moved past Wood in a Class 2A quarterfinal game and finished his career with 2,627 points. Wood said he texted Baer to congratulate him. “He seems like a nice kid,” said Wood. “I haven’t actually seen him play. I didn’t know he was on pace to break the record until January. That’s a lot of points.” Wood had a career scoring average of 25.2 points a game. Seven of the top 10 all-time scorers in Colorado played at small schools. “This level is a lot different than the level I played at,” said Wood referring to the Class 5A classification. “I think as a junior and senior I could have scored just as much. I don’t think I could have scored as much as a freshman at this level. “The key is the freshman year. If you don’t score your freshman year, you have to go crazy the other years.”

Grizzlies lose tough lacrosse battle ThunderRidge boys fall to league foe Heritage, 10-5 By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com The ThunderRidge boys’ lacrosse team fought an uphill battle but couldn’t overcome an early Heritage advantage, falling 10-5 in league play March 12 at Shea Stadium. “We are a young team that allowed too many first-quarter goals so it was an uphill climb for us from there,” Grizzlies coach Reg Weber said. “We played hard and did some good things out there tonight. The season is early so things aren’t a loss at this point.” ThunderRidge stands at 1-1 after opening the season with a 10-4 win over Littleton. The Grizzlies were scheduled to play Highlands Ranch March 18 and then travel south to play Pine Creek March 21 before packing up their gear for a spring break trip to San Francisco. The tentative schedule calls for three games in the bay area against California high school teams March 26-28.

ThunderRidge’s next home game is April 1 against Legend. On March 12, Heritage came out with an aggressive attack that put the Eagles up 4-1 at the end of the first period and widened their advantage to 7-2 at halftime. The Grizzlies played them tighter in the second half, but couldn’t overcome the five-goal deficit. “We settled down after that first quarter,” Weber said. “We did a better job of controlling the ball, we had a little more intensity and our ground ball game improved. We just couldn’t overcome their early lead.” On defense, the Grizzlies worked to shut down the attack by keeping the player with the ball outside. When attacking, ThunderRidge pushed the pace and spread out so they could pass the ball to a teammate who was in a position to get off a good shot. ThunderRidge took 29 shots on goal and five Grizzlies found the back of the net, including Cole Ogrodrick, Connor Koslowsky, Jack Matchinsky, Franco Pilon and Brad McLean. Koslowsky played on the right wing on attack and led the Grizzlies with eight shots on goal. Ogrodrick put four shots on the net, and Matchinsky had the team’s only assist.

Valor girls eliminated in state semis Eagles return 10 players next season after first Final Four appearance this year By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia. com Valor Christian girls basketball coach Sheryyl Klosterman will have a bunch of experienced, motivated players back next season. Valor made its first ever appearance in the Class 4A Final Four March 13 but the Eagles were routed, 67-46, in a semifinal game against tournament-tested Broomfield at the CU Events Center in Boulder. Klosterman will have 10 players back for the 2014-15 campaign off this year’s squad that finished with a 23-4 record. “It was an awesome season,” said Klosterman. “I’m proud of the kids and the way they played. That’s very exciting that we have a lot of players returning. I told the returners that we’re not going to talk about why we lost the Broomfield game, we’re just going to start working on those things. “When the offseason starts we’re going to work and be real motivated. We need to work real hard in the offseason and make ourselves better.” Junior forward Kendall Bradbury is already looking ahead. “We’re bringing back a lot of leadership

and we’re all going to be experienced after this experience we got in the Final Four,” she said. “Now we kind of know what it’s like to play out here. It was a huge learning experience. “Being able to make it to the Final Four was awesome. We played together, played strong, had fun and made history. From here we have to work in the offseason, get in the weight room and work on things. The loss is going to hurt for a while but it’s going to be motivation for us to come back next year.” Broomfield, winners of five state titles, was making its eighth trip to the Final Four and the experience showed. Valor’s only lead came a minute-and-ahalf into the game at 4-2 and then Broomfield went on a 12-0 run and began to take off, outscoring the Eagles from Highlands Ranch, 14-5, in the final 5:09 of the first half. “They shot the ball real well,” pointed out Klosterman. “You have to give Broomfield all the credit in the world. They are good for a reason. Those kids had experience and they played well together. “We were kind of out of sync on offense. We were pressing a little bit. As much as we talked about it being just another game, just go out and play because we have nothing to lose, the pressure was still there.” Bradbury agrees. “We got inside our own heads a little bit,” she said. “We just kind of psyched ourselves out. Broomfield is a great team. They know what it’s like to play here. We just didn’t

Sophomore Madison McCoy came off the bench to lead Valor with 13 points that included a trio of 3-point baskets. Caroline

Bryan and Bradbury, Valor’s leading scorers, each had 10 points. Bradbury pulled down a team-high eight rebounds, while junior Madison Waldon grabbed seven boards for a Valor team that shot 32.7 percent from the field for the game. Valor committed 19 turnovers, which led to 17 Broomfield points.

Mountain Vista earns top tech awards High school students’ efforts earn school top slot at state competition By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Five years ago, Mountain Vista High School didn’t have a Technology Student Association. Today, a case in the school’s main hallway shines with medals earned by TSA members, who launched the group to a top spot in the Colorado TSA State Leadership Exposition. And a spot in June’s national competition in Maryland. “We went from the smallest to e Hull the biggest (HS chapter) in four Paul years and won state,” said senior Will Jones, a member of the award-winning team. MVHS, the first Douglas County high school to earn a state title, tied for first place with Littleton High School. LHS has dominated the event for 11 of the past 12

Photo by Jane Reuter years. “We were really surprised,” senior Peter Cleverdon said. “Last

year, we were in 11th place. (This year) our club doubled in size and doubled in effort.”

A total of 53 MVHS students competed at state, and 25 qualified for the national competition. STEM Middle School earned DCSD further bragging rights. The Highlands Ranch charter took first place at the middle school level; 98 STEM middle and high school students participated in the event. The state leadership exposition, which included 45 schools, was held Feb. 27-March 1 at the Denver Tech Center Marriott. MVHS’ win has ratcheted up the enthusiasm level among its already dedicated TSA members, but it was particularly poignant for technology teacher and advisor Kent Allison. He was moved to tears by the announcement. “I was just so proud of these guys,” he said. “It’s a great way for them to get validation for what they know.” Allison’s guys include 40 boys and 13 girls. While the team has steadily grown since its inception four years ago, the influx of female members has been particularly notable. In 2013, two MVHS girls

went to the state TSA event; this year, 13 participated. Among them were sophomores and engineering enthusiasts Aubrey Harrison and Cassandra English. Extroverted and easily amused, both girls shatter any tech-geek stereotypes — even as they ponder how to improve their designs for the national event. “I really enjoy technology, building things, challenging myself,” said English, who has been exploring a career in material engineering. “Definitely not something on the artsy end.” “We are the minority,” Harrison said. “But you don’t really notice the gender difference. We tell everybody, you should join TSA — it’s so much fun. And you find common ground in the club.” English agrees. “Fifty-three people — we just click.” TSA is a national nonprofit organization that serves 170,000 elementary, middle and high school students with an interest in technology.

When he wrote the theme song for the Colorado Rockies last month, local composer Charles Denler said the goal was to create a rallying call for fans. “I wanted it to be a sort of call to action,” Denler said. “Any fan, and certainly fans of the Colorado Rockies, speaks like they own the team. I think baseball has that link to our culture. I definitely wrote it for the Rockies, but I also wrote it for the fans.” Denler wrote the main part of “Take the Field” over three days in his Highlands Ranch home and studio. The two-minute piece is an orchestral composition that will play when the Rockies literally take the field during home games. Resembling a film score, Denler calls his composition a “scorechestra.” The two-time Emmy-winner said he was contacted by Anthony Pierce, the Colorado Symphony Orchestra’s vice president of artistic administration, earlier this year after hearing that the team was looking for a new theme song. Denler has worked with

CSO in the past on his Portraits of Colorado symphony, which is currently available on Reference Records. “I’m not your typical, Avant-garde type of composer,” Denler said. “They know me and my music.” After he wrote the main piano part, he slowly added in horns and fast-moving strings. Then, he said, he added in percussion for “that big sound.” If it were football, he might have gone with a more aggressive sound, he said. But he wanted “an intriguing, slower sound with intensity but not overly fast from the beginning.” “You can have 800 different pieces of music by the time you’re done,” Denler said of the composing process. Baseball has been a big part of Denler’s life of late. The composer also recently finished writing music for an animated baseball movie called Henry and Me, which stars Richard Gere and Cindi Lauper. The composer is considering writing the world’s first baseball-themed symphony as well. “I love baseball. Out of all the sports, it just feels very American. It’s part of our culture.” “Take the Field” will debut at the Rockies’ Opening Day on April 4 against the Arizona Diamondbacks. And of course, with wife and children in tow, Denler plans to be there. “That’ll be a blast,” he said.

Institute for Justice who’s representing three of the voucher families, is not surprised by the decision. “It’s unfortunate the scholarship program’s implementation is going to be further delayed by (this),” he said. “But the good news is the program’s constitutionality will now be finally resolved. And a decision upholding the program would have precedential value statewide. It would also have persuasive authority in other states.” Richardson characterized the Supreme Court’s decision as “purely procedural.” “It does not mean the court disagrees with the ruling of the court of appeals,” he said. “It simply means the court recognizes the importance of the case …” Alex Luchenitser, an attorney for plaintiff Americans United, is pleased by the news. “This is a very important case,” he said. “This program uses taxpayer funds to pay for religious education. One of the most fundamental principles of the American constitutional tradition of church state separation is taxpayers should not be forced to support religious instruction in a faith to which they don’t believe.” Opening briefs are due in six weeks, with additional deadlines set for respondents and reply briefs. A hearing then will be set.

ship, which is made up of 17 entities. While not yet finalized, it would allow south metro water agencies to buy renewable water from Denver and Aurora entities. Water is the one resource that could derail the state’s dramatic growth forecast. “Thousands of Colorado businesses depend on this growth and I am one of them,” said Phelps Engineering president Lonny Phelps. “We’re in a dry climate. It’s not going to change. We are in a water overuse area. It magnifies the need for a state water plan. “If no changes occur, demand will outstrip supply creating shortages.” Colorado’s water issues are unique. In addition to being an arid climate with high growth, it and Hawaii are the only two states from which all water flows out of its borders. Additionally, the state’s water rights are administered according to an Appropriation Doctrine based on the principle of “first in time, first in right.” It allocates the right to a quantity of water to the first person who uses it for a beneficial purpose. Those users get top priority for water when supply is in question. Established in 1879, the doctrine has proven itself time and again, Eklund said. “We’re seeing repeated attempts to do away with the doctrine of prior appropriation,” he said. “It’s not some dead, stale doctrine we’ve outgrown somehow. Our system of local control and private property rights rest son that foundational doctrine.” The CWCB seeks statewide input on the plan. Eklund urged the business owners in attendance not only to work together on water issues, but to involve others. “Go to your neighbors that don’t have access to this kind of presentation I gave this morning,” he said. “Have a conversation about why this is important to them. Engage them with a website that makes sense to people that aren’t water wonks.” To view one of those sites, visit www.coloradowaterplan. com.

But to bring the greatest benefits of solar to the greatest number of people, we have to do it right. Using the same dedication to renewable energy that made us the number one wind utility in the nation, Xcel Energy is working to develop and support large-scale solar projects that deliver clean, renewable solar energy at a lower cost. A clean energy future to build on. A strong energy grid to depend on. Xcel Energy believes our customers deserve both.
