Buzz builds with CU campus kickoff Classes offered at The Wildlife Experience starting this fall By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Anticipation is building for the fall opening of a University of Colorado campus at The Wildlife Experience. A well-attended welcoming reception at the Parker museum April 3 kicked off the beginning of what’s being billed as a symbiotic partnership. Business professionals will have a place close to home to continue their education, and employers will gain easier access to resources and a growing pool of highly-educated workers. Dave Liniger, founder of the wildlife art and natural history museum, said he never imagined The Wildlife Experience would host university-level classes. “This is a tremendous opportunity to fully utilize the facility,” said Liniger, who also created real estate giant RE/MAX with his wife, Gail, in the early 1970s.
More than 7,400 square-feet of exhibit space on the second floor of The Wildlife Experience will be turned into classroom space and nearly 4,000 square-feet in the basement will house a simulation lab for nursing students. Fields of study were selected based on the industries most represented in the residential populations and office buildings of Douglas and Arapahoe counties. The College of Engineering and Applied Science is opening with a partially-formed collection of classes, including software engineering, computer forensics and programming. The University of Colorado’s south campus will have a business school where students can earn a certificate in general business with for-credit courses that can be used toward a Master’s in Business Administration or specialty master’s degree. The business school will also offer a series of accelerated non-credit courses on highdemand topics. Those classes are expected to be popular among professionals advancing through the ranks of their company. Some courses and programs have prerequisites.
Three related disciplines — nursing, public health and human development — are playing into the south metro area’s recently-acquired status as a healthcare hotbed. A stretch of C-470 and E-470 has been dubbed the “medical mile” by local leaders, who point to the opening of Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine and continued success of Parker Adventist Hospital and outlying medical offices as a positive step for the region, both in terms of accessible care and jobs. Sky Ridge Medical Center, likewise, is a four-minute drive from The Wildlife Experience. Maureen Durkin, assistant dean for strategic development and evaluation for CU’s college of nursing, said her department is eager to work hand-in-hand with established facilities in a region that’s “growing by leaps and bounds.” The move to the south metro area also provides some breathing room. “Our nursing program at the Anschutz campus — we’re a little bit constrained in Campus continues on Page 10

Sky Ridge scores high on safety Consumer Reports weighs multiple factors in ratings By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two Douglas County hospitals topped a Consumer Reports list of hospital safety for the Denver metro area. Lone Tree’s Sky Ridge Medical Center and Parker Adventist were rated first and second among 16 metro-area hospitals, based on five categories related to hospital safety. Sky Ridge scored 66 of a possible 100 points, and Parker Adventist, 65. Each of the five categories included 20 possible points relating to infections, readmissions, patient communications, necessary procedures
and mortality. “We are thrilled,” Sky Ridge CEO Maureen Tarrant said. “This particular recognition by Consumer Reports is a gold star. All of us consider Consumer Reports the go-to place for being rigorous in your analysis and determination of providing guest services and products. To be added to that list for such an important service — hospital care — just makes us all tremendously proud. “We’re very proud to have achieved this within about 10 years of opening.” So is Parker Adventist, which opened just six months after Sky Ridge in early 2004. “This ranking really supports our belief that here at Parker Adventist we deliver some of the highest-quality medical care in the metro area,” said hospital spokeswoman Rachel Robinson. “Quality and patient safety is a top priority for us.”
Among agencies that provide healthcare ratings, Tarrant said Consumer Reports is the most comprehensive. “It not only includes traditionally publicly reported statistics such as infection rates, but it even looks at about four different categories of performance,” she said. “Those include patient satisfaction and evidence-based medicine protocols, such as how much radiation you get when you get CAT scans at Sky Ridge. Those four categories are really very, very comprehensive.” Consumer Reports’ mortality ratings are based on how likely patients are to die within 30 days of hospital admittance for a heart attack, heart failure or pneumonia. It also considers how often surgery patients with treatable complications die during their stay. The data is based on patients aged 65 and older.
Thai Orchids’ manager Lyn Tran is tired of telling her customers “no” when they ask for a drink with dinner; she’s even more discouraged when some of them choose to eat elsewhere. A change to Lone Tree’s liquor code means Tran soon will be able to say “yes.” The city council voted April 1 to fix an anomaly in its liquor code that allowed restaurants just a few feet away from Tran’s to serve alcohol, but not hers. The code prohibited the issuance of new liquor licenses to businesses located within 500 feet of a public elementary school. Lone Tree Elementary opened in 2007, so nearby businesses already open at that time were unaffected. Under the previous code, Viet Pho — only a few feet away from Thai Orchids — can offer its customers a wine list. And Heritage Hills Wine and Spirits, around the corner from it, can sell alcohol of all varieties. Thai Orchids cannot even offer its customers a Singha beer. The liquor code restriction even has affected the restaurant’s take-out business. “They’re really disappointed because they want a drink while they’re waiting,” Tran said, adding she’s occasionally lost dine-in customers when they learn they can’t have a drink with their meal. “Everybody has a license except me.” While Tran’s Thai restaurant garners consistently good reviews, it’s done so on the strength of its food alone. The previous owner suffered the same problem, said Tran, but she decided to Liquor continues on Page 10

Oil and gas health impact study clears panel
Bill and bill’s price tag expand during committee talks By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The potential health impacts of oil and gas operations among Front Range residents will be studied, under a bill that is making its way through the Legislature. But increased costs to the legislation that were added during a recent House committee hearing left the bill sponsor worried that the effort might not get funded. House Bill 1297 would require the state to study the impacts that oil and gas operations may have on a person’s health and quality of life. The three-year study would focus on residents living in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Larimer and Weld Counties. Those counties include cities that have placed limits on fracking — the mixing of water, sand and chemicals that are blasted deep into the surface to crack porous rock to free up blocked oil and gas. So far, five Colorado cities and more than 100 municipalities across the nation have either placed bans or other limits on the practice. The bill would require the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to review scientific literature regarding the
health impacts of oil and gas operations, and would then conduct a health survey of randomly selected Front Range residents. If the findings warrant further research, a secondtiered part of the study would kick in, which could involve the review of medical records. The final reports would then be presented to Legislators and would be made available through the CDPHE’s website. R e p . Joann Ginal, D-Fort Collins, told the House Health, Insurance, and Environment Committee on April 1 that she is not “targeting” oil and gas companies. Ginal acknowledged that those companies provide economic benefits to the state.
“But health is a quality of life issue, as is jobs, as is our energy jobs and education,” she said. “And fear is driving communities to enact bans and moratoriums and fear should not be the motivation in this case.” The committee’s vote to move forward with the study fell on party lines. Rep. Spencer Swalm, R-Centennial, said that communities are already working together to deal with fracking without the state’s involvement.

good understanding of how to address this approach,” Swalm said. “The elected officials out there worked hard to come to that.” Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, said he didn’t want to see a state-sponsored study that he thinks would slant toward the viewpoint of fracking opponents. McNulty said that the oil and gas industry is already being watched in a way that protects the public. “A well-regulated industry does not pose public health threats to our citizens,” he said. The bill passed the committee, but came out of it more expensive than when it arrived. The original bill would have focused only on the oil and gas-related health impacts to those who live in the counties of Adams, Boulder, Larimer and Weld. However, against Ginal’s wishes, the committee amended the study to include Arapahoe County and the City and County of Broomfield. That expects to add an additional $200,000 to the legislation, bringing the bill’s cost to about $700,000. Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge said she was concerned that the added cost could be “a game changer” when it goes before the House Appropriations Committee for funding consideration. “I am supporting the bill, but I am concerned about adding the extra cost,” Schafer said. “My county and other counties care very much about this issue, but let’s start with a small, controlled study and, in a future year, we can expand on it.”

In the April 3 edition, a chart accompanying the story on the Republican General Assembly said that candidates who earn more than 10 percent support at the assembly but less than 30 percent had to collect 5,040 signatures by March 31 (20 percent of the total number of votes at the 2010 Republican primary) if they chose to attempt to petition on to the primary ballot. That number was the correct number for the sheriff ’s race only. While no other race had candidates who fell into that range, it should have read 20 percent of the total number of votes for that specific office at the 2010 Republican primary.

Security specialist finds joy in work Apple Award winner says students, life ample reason to smile By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Pete Mazula exudes a curious combination of joy and fierceness. Both are inspired by the students at Mountain Ridge Middle School in Highlands Ranch, where the 60-year-old Mazula has spent 10 years as a security specialist. “I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love it here and how much I love my kids,” he said. “I’d do anything for these guys. I’d take a bullet for any one of these kids without even thinking about it.” That brand of dedication resulted in Mazula being named the Douglas County School District Apple Award for 2014’s School Employee of the Year. Not only does Mazula work security, he coaches track and boys basketball. He knows and connects so deeply with the students and their parents that he’s attended Eagle Scout ceremonies and other off-site student events. Because he directs parent traffic twice daily, his is the first face most students see every morning, and the last they see at the end of the school day. “I’m out there in the rain, snow, it doesn’t matter — I’m always smiling,” Mazula said. From Mazula’s perspective, he has plenty to smile about. A 20-year West Metro Fire Rescue firefighter and Jefferson County sher-
iff’s reserve officer, he was forced to retire from firefighting after contracting hepatitis C and undergoing a liver transplant. The disease typically is contracted by blood-to-blood contact, and while Mazula can’t be sure, he believes he became infected as a firefighter while treating an intravenous drug user. “When I first started (firefighting), we didn’t have rubber gloves,” he said. Post-surgery and in his 40s, Mazula knew he was too young to retire. His firefighting career had included work with juvenile arsonists and burn victims, responsibilities he’d treasured for the time spent with children. That led him to apply for school security posts, and to Mountain Ridge. One decade later, Mazula intends to stay at least another five years. “The kids keep me young,” said the married father of two adult children. His steady presence has earned the students’ trust. Mazula said the children confide personal worries and concerns about other students, knowing the information will be taken seriously even while their names remain confidential. “I think they feel safe, yet they also know they can come to us,” he said. Mazula shares his personal history during health classes at Mountain Ridge, hoping it will teach children not only about disease and health issues, but resiliency. “I’m not a professional teacher, but I’m an educator because of the things I went through with my illnesses,” he said. “I made it through two liver transplants, a broken neck and prostate cancer, and I’m still here. Probably that’s the reason I smile so much.”

Emotional school meeting has upbeat ending Attendees hopeful that officials will listen, act By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School District’s second Board Unplugged meeting lasted nearly three hours, and was punctuated by raised voices, frequent interruptions and philosophical clashes, but it ended on a cooperative note. About 50 people attended the April 1 event at Castle Rock’s Mesa Middle School, designed as a less formal version of the Douglas County School Board’s traditional meetings held at the district administration building. Despite several highly emotional exchanges, community members who have for months said they’re concerned about the board’s willingness to work with them expressed optimism about the evening’s finale. Board president Kevin Larsen promised to provide follow-up information on a variety of issues raised, some of it at the next regular board meeting on April 15. Those issues include cost of a potential district survey, details on a proposed K-8 special education school, costs for assessments and a data collection system and the potential re-establishment of a policy review committee. “I think we are trying to find some common ground to come together,” said Larsen. “With all humility, we will do our best. If we don’t have the answers, we will say it.” Larsen also announced DCSD has hired a parent advocate, who will work with parents as concerns arise. Unresolved issues then may be taken to the administration or board level. Six of the seven board members attended the informal meeting. Craig Richardson was not there. Unlike the first Board Unplugged
Gary Colley, right, raises his hand to let board president Kevin Larsen, seated at left, know he wants to speak during the April 1 Board Unplugged meeting at Castle Rock’s Mesa Middle School. Photo by Jane Reuter meeting held in March, during which participants were divided into groups to discuss specific topics, audience members sat on folding chairs arranged in a circle for a general discussion of their concerns. Parent Laura Young Alfano expressed gratitude for the board’s attentiveness. “If this truly is the beginning, I am grateful,” she said. “There are really few main issues where there is huge, deep divide. The (choice) scholarship program? Deep divide. Let’s not start there. But there are a lot of other things where it’s more about how things are done, how are they communicated. Hopefully this is really truly the beginning of listening and smaller groups.” Several audience members testified about low teacher morale. One man,
who identified himself as Mike, said he represented his DCSD teacher wife, who didn’t feel comfortable speaking out. As a teacher in another district, the man said he knows many DCSD teachers are seeking employment elsewhere. “We used to get 10 resumes from Douglas County; now we’re getting 60,” he said. “We can’t hire them all. “They had no reason to leave as far as seniority or status. It was because they needed to get out of the district.” Board member Doug Benevento said DCSD last year hired more teachers from outside the district than it lost to other districts. “I get there are probably folks who are unhappy, but it’s unfair to characterize them as all, or say there’s a great migra-
tion north because the numbers would indicate we have a great migration south,” he said “I happen to respectfully disagree with you,” Mike said. “There’s a reputation going on about Douglas County schools. Whether you have numbers to say it’s not true, there’s a reputation about it now.” Parent Kelle Palka agreed, saying parents know teachers’ feelings better than board members. “How many teachers are you confidants with that tell you, really, what’s going on?” she asked. “We are their confidants. The majority are unhappy.” Larsen noted the turnover has varied “wildly” among DCSD’s schools, and suggested schools with high turnover be scrutinized. “Are they losing teachers that are positively leaving for an opportunity within the district, and are they being replaced with a teacher of equal caliber and experience or are they not?” he said. “Is the environment such that they’re not enjoying it anymore? I think we can look at that.” “I’m certainly interested in exploring the alternatives to teacher evaluations so teachers take ownership,” board member Jim Geddes said. “Once that happens, I think it will be much more acceptable to the teachers.” “The point of an evaluation is to make you better, not get rid of you,” Larsen agreed. Several audience members urged the board to listen to parents, and not discount their voices. “You have a room full of people that are passionate about the school district,” said former board candidate Julie Keim. “Please try to find ways to engage us. You would find us a lot less resistant if you would listen to us, talk to us, help us understand your priorities. We’re resistant because you are shutting us out of the process.” The next Board Unplugged meeting is set for May 6 at Rocky Heights Middle School in Highlands Ranch.

The artwork of more than 2,000 Douglas County School District students and teachers is featured in the DCSD Art Show at the Outlets at Castle Rock. The pieces will be on display from April 10-13. An artist’s reception is from 5 to 8 p.m. April 11. The annual show traditionally was held at Park Meadows shopping center, but show coordinator Pamela Cogburn said the outlet center offered a larger space. “At Park Meadows, the space was smaller so we had to run each level — elementary, middle, then high — for four weeks,” said Cogburn, an art teacher at Castle Rock’s Renaissance Expeditionary School. “This time, they’re all going to be together. Because of all the schools in Douglas County, that also means it’s going to be a huge show.” Located in the parking lot in front of the Levi’s store and open for viewing during store hours, the show will represent work from k-12 students. “I’m a little nervous since it’s something we really haven’t done to this scale before,” said Rocky Heights Middle School art teacher Kim Chlumsky. But her excitement about her students’ work overcomes any trepidation. “I don’t want all my students to have the same project, so I usually give them a theme or a question for the project,” she said. “Just letting them go and have that freedom, you get a lot of amazing results.” Among those results is a digital artwork piece created with Photoshop by eighth-grader Karin Yi. The piece depicts a crowd of figures on which random words are written. One figure among them is emblazoned with the words “This is me, different, original-

Courtesy photo ity, individual.” A large question mark hovers above the gathering. Yi said the figure doesn’t represent her specifically. “It represents individuality, people who basically break apart from all the crowds, from all the normal people who are afraid to stand up and speak out,” she said. “The question mark represents doubt and not knowing who you are and where you stand.” Yi doesn’t intend to pursue a career in art, but enjoys the process. “I’ve been in the district art show before, and I love it,” she said. The Rocky Mountain School of Art and Design also will award a $20,000 Community Scholarship to a 2014 Douglas County graduate.

The Douglas County School District is inviting parents to help it protect their children. A series of forums, triggered by the loss of several students to suicide and other 2014 incidents, are planned this month. The series, “Safeguarding Children: Building Resiliency,” began April 9 at Parker’s Chaparral High School and continues April 16 at Highlands Ranch’s ThunderRidge High School and April 23 at Castle Rock’s Castle View High School. All the forums are planned from 6 to 9 p.m. Local law enforcement officers, mental health experts and school staff will join to discuss using physical and psychological safety measures to protect students’ wellbeing. Four Douglas County teens were lost to suicide between Jan. 31 and Feb. 11 — a number equal to the total of teen suicides in the county in 2013. DCSD is seeking parents’ input and involvement in creating a safe haven for students. “We’re really looking for this to be interactive with our
parents, to really talk about the things we have in the community and our district for supporting children, and the way those things overlap to keep kids safe,” said Jason Germain, DCSD’s chief student advocacy officer. The forums are “not a sit-and-get-lectured style format,” he said, but will invite parents to participate in tabletop exercises and discussion with DCSD staff. A resource fair will feature community partners like Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network and Children’s Hospital. DCSD also is involved in a longer-term evaluation of its mental health staffing levels. At about 900-to-1, DCSD’s ratio of students to counselors is well below the 250-to-1 level recommended by the American School Counselor Association. When elementary schools — which don’t have counselors — are excluded, the ratio of students to counselors at the middle and high school levels is 350-to-1, according to DCSD staff. “What we’re doing now is we’re integrating requests from principals, school counselors, (and other) members of our teams (to learn) what they are indicating is needed in our buildings,” German said. “Instead of just haphazardly assigning resources, we’re taking a larger district stance around that.” That report eventually will be taken to district leaders for their response.
Wild Animal Sanctuary founder to speak Craig featured during April 21 Lone Tree Arts Center event By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The founder of the Keenesburg-based Wild Animal Sanctuary, Pat Craig, will speak from 7 to 9 p.m. April 21 at the Lone Tree Arts Center event hall. Sponsored by the Lone Tree Arts Center Guild, the event is free for guild members with a suggested $5 donation for non-members. All those who attend also will receive free admission to visit the sanctuary. The 720-acre facility, located about an hour northeast of Lone Tree, specializes in rescuing large carnivores, including bears, cats and wolves. Craig will talk about why he founded the sanctuary, the crises facing captive wild animals, the December 2010 rescue and relocation to his sanctuary of 25 abused, malnourished Bolivian circus lions. Guild president Gayle Spelts said the unusual evening
fits with the nonprofit’s goal to support the LTAC by expanding its reach beyond music, theater and other traditional focuses. “We want to expose as many people to the arts center who may not have come before, even if the program isn’t particularly arts-oriented,” she said. To RSVP, contact Spelts at 303-662-9952.
Fashion show
The guild also will host its third annual fashion show and lunch at 11:30 a.m. May 22 at the LTAC. Fashions featured during the event will be from Soft Surroundings, a Park Meadows shopping center store that offers home décor and fashion items. Guild members will serve as models during the show. Serendipity Catering will provide the lunch, and attendants will each receive a gift bag and be eligible for a $250 door prize. Admission is $45 per person and includes lunch. Register by calling Spelts or at the organization’s website: www. lonetreeartscenterguild.org. Guild membership is $75 for an individual and $125 for a couple.

Pot and substance abuse no ‘gray matter’ Colorado law legalizing retail marijuana sales for adults age 21 and older took effect on Jan. 1. So, now that pot is legal for adults, it’s not such a big deal if kids give it a try, right? Pot use, and any drug or alcohol use for that matter, is still illegal for kids and young adults. Perhaps more important than the legal vs. illegal argument is the fact that any of these substances have dangerous effects on the developing brains, the gray matter, of young people. Why do kids use drugs and alcohol? Peer pressure is certainly a reason, but not the main one. The choice is typically due to boredom, easy access, underestimation of the harm or to help diminish symptoms of a mental-health issue. According to the Colorado Health Foundation 2012 Health Report Card, “On average, teens begin drinking alcohol at the age of 14. Those who start drinking before age 15 are four times more likely to develop a dependence on alcohol.” For these kids, there is clear and present danger to brain development and addiction resulting in damaging impacts throughout life. Our brain doesn’t reach “adulthood” until around the age of 25, and research has shown time and time again that pot
and all substances impact the teen brain much differently than adult brains. In adolescence, delicate synapses are still forming, gray matter is growing and the brain is focused on building the parts that maintain memory, learning, emotional control and executive functioning, which will be used for the rest of their lives. Early substance use stunts these growth areas while increasing the possibility of mentalhealth issues, academic failure, addiction and relationship difficulties. While alcohol is the most abused substance by teens, a study from the Colorado State University Extension office reported that up to 56.5 percent of Colorado teens have used some form of illegal drug by the 12th grade, with up to 6.8 percent having used an illegal drug before age 13. Heroin
The truth probably isn’t in the middle So the other day I found myself in the middle of a situation. I was a third party to two other people debating and even arguing over an event that had taken place. They both viewed and experienced the circumstances differently and at this point had become quite agitated with one another. When they asked me my opinion and who I thought was right, my first instinct was to run as fast I could away from the situation. Although that was probably the right move, it was almost impossible based on where we were at the moment. And then my over-developed sense of obligation kicked in anyway and I tried to mediate as best I could. I went to my “go-to” line in these situations and said something like, “It sounds like you both have a strong opinion about what happened and the truth can probably be found somewhere in the middle.” Is that a cop-out or what? So much for my “go-to” line. If truth is really truth, how can it be found in the middle? Are we compromising truth for political correctness and making sure we smooth over feelings for all parties involved, making sure everyone in the situation is OK? And if so, is there anything really wrong with that approach? Unfortunately I think there is — it’s called avoiding the truth. Now there are some people who are extremely direct and never have an issue with speaking their mind or telling others exactly how they feel and how they perceive things. This doesn’t mean they are right or even necessarily telling the truth, it just means that they are direct. These folks typically live by a saying, “Seldom right, but never in doubt.” The other extreme is people who will not utter a word; they will stand by and passively watch or listen as someone spins a story or even tells an outright lie. They know it’s wrong but they would prefer to keep quiet instead of risking the wrath of the other person or just take the position of going along to get along. I am not sure about you, but no matter how much it might hurt, and it has hurt
when it has happened to me … I would rather someone be honest, even brutally honest with me and tell me what I need to hear, not just want I want to hear. I want them to tell me the truth or call me out when they feel I am not telling the truth. And here’s what I have personally experienced in each situation: When the truth is actually revealed, regardless of how painful it might be, everything becomes better much faster for all parties. There may have been initial hurts and disappointments, but truth is truth and no one has to continue a lie or perpetuate a story that could cause drama or future problems. There is a Proverb that reads, “An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.” There is so much truth in that one simple Proverb. It is so frustrating for everyone involved when we search for the truth in conflicting agendas and personalities. Drama gives way to truth and we find ourselves back in the vicious cycle of political correctness and making sure everyone feels good. Maybe it’s more like the epic line by Jack Nicholson in the movie “A Few Good Men” when he shouts from the witness stand, “You can’t handle the truth!” How about you, is the truth found somewhere in the middle? Is an honest answer like a kiss on the lips? Can you handle the truth? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we learn to live in the truth it really will be a better than good week.

and prescription drug use is on the rise in the south metro area. Opiates and synthetic opiates, including Percocet, heroin and OxyContin, are extremely addictive, so not only do they have a devastating effect on teen brain development; they are extremely difficult to quit. How do you recognize the signs of substance abuse in teens? When is it normal teen moodiness or addiction? Most often there are key, noticeable changes in behavior, moods, grades and friends. You may notice the telltale signs of slurred speech, “looking high,” dilated pupils or changes in eating and sleeping patterns. Be aware of your teen’s “normal” and gauge changes from there. Unchecked, substance abuse in teens can lead to immediate health risks such as risky sexual behavior and physical injury. Addicted teens have a higher dropout rate and increased criminal behavior and involvement in the juvenile justice system. Preventing young people from trying drugs and alcohol is the first and safest line of defense in maintaining healthy brain development and a healthy person. Prevention requires open and honest communication, plus clear rules and expectations about behavior. It also requires a

letters to the editor Don’t blame the system
State law provides that a candidate may petition on to the ballot without going to the assembly at all. Major party candidates for public office may begin circulating petitions the first Monday of February. The deadline to submit those petitions is no later than 85 days before the primary election. In 2014 that was March 31. In the sheriff’s race both John Anderson and Lora Thomas chose not to circulate petitions, presumably assuming that they would have sufficient support at the assembly. To blame the current statutory scheme for a conscious decision made by their campaigns is somewhat disingenuous. Many candidates over the years have chosen to bypass the caucus and assembly process altogether and have been successful in their primary election bids. Candidates for office did not have a mere nine days to collect signatures, but 56 days to do so, starting Feb. 3. The suggestion by unsuccessful candidates that the caucus and assembly system is hostage to party bosses or a political machine is an insult to every delegate at assembly. I chose to publicly support Tony Spurlock believing him to be the only truly qualified candidate for sheriff. No one bought my vote, and I am not part of a political machine. I am certainly not a party boss. I took my time, went to caucus — which only 11 voters out of over 400 in our precinct bothered

close look at your own substance use and beliefs. If you think your child is using drugs, early intervention is the best option for successful treatment and healthy brain growth. Today there are proven practices for treating the unique needs of young people with addiction that are equally effective for people who are “ready to quit” and those who are refusing to quit. Most treatment occurs in an outpatient setting and involves the help and support of the teen’s family. Teen substance use is no “gray matter.” The facts are black and white about the dangers to growth and development and consequences of inhibited decisionmaking at such an impressionable time of life. Start talking with your teen today and let him or her know that this is not a gray area: No drug or alcohol use is OK. Your support of your teen’s brain health and overall wellness will have long-lasting rewards.

to attend — and asked to be elected as an assembly delegate expressing my support for various candidates. Do we now fault a candidate for having broad based support, or condemn the system because the unsuccessful candidates failed to mobilize their supporters or exercise their petition option? Our caucus system dates back decades to a time when delegates rode hours on horseback to attend a county assembly as a delegate from their precinct. A debate on whether it remains relevant in this day of worldwide instantaneous communication is a legitimate topic for discussion. In the meantime, however, we need not fault those who embrace the system and mobilize supporters to work the caucus and assembly system to their advantage.

Business tax credit bill moves forward Employers given more incentive to create Colorado jobs By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The expansion of a job-growth incentive tax credit is gaining momentum at the Legislature. Under current law, businesses can earn income tax credits over a five-year period for every job they create in Colorado. The new bill would expand the availability of that credit to eight years and would make other modifications to an effort that
received bipartisan support at the Legislature last year. House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, and Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, DArvada, said the effort to expand the law is a testament to its popularity. “While our economy is starting to move along, this is a bill that will help us move back to that robust state,” Kraft-Tharp said on the House floor on April 4, just before House members gave initial approval to the legislation. The bill was expected to easily pass the House during a final vote, which was scheduled for April 7. The changes to the bill are business friendly. In addition to expanding the availability of the credit, the bill reduces a requirement
Changes likely to be made to American Indian tuition bill By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A bill that seeks to provide tuition relief for out-of-state American Indian students will be scaled back because of difficulties over the cost assessment of the legislation, according to the bill sponsor. The original intention of House Bill 1124 was to allow all students living out of state who have tribal connections to Colorado to receive in-state tuition rates at state colleges and universities. But the legislation is expected to be amended to apply only to incoming students and not American Indians who are currently enrolled. “What do you say to that person?” said Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, the bill sponsor. “Maybe that’s something we can work on next year.” Salazar said the changes to the bill became necessary after learning more about how colleges and universities count American Indian students. Under the bill, only students who are among one of the 48 federally recognized tribes that have historical ties to Colorado qualify for in-state tuition. But Salazar said that estimating costs is difficult because schools don’t dig deep into the specific tribal backgrounds of students. The Legislative Council estimates that the bill’s first-year cost to the state will
exceed $668,000. Also, state colleges and universities were estimated to lose more than $5 million in tuition revenue under the original version of the bill. However, they are expected to see an increase of students who wouldn’t otherwise attend their schools. But all of those statistics would be difficult to calculate under the current system of American Indian student calculation, which Salazar calls a counting system that results in “pie in the sky numbers.” “They have a bunch of students out there who just check the box and say they’re American Indian, but they don’t prove which tribe they’re from,” Salazar said. “They can have, as you sometimes hear, a Cherokee Indian princess grandmother, and they mark the box, `American Indian.’” Salazar said the changes to the bill could end up being a good thing because colleges would then have to start classifying the specific tribes from which students belong. He also said that the cost to the state “would be quite minimal, if anything at all,” once the bill is amended. “I did run it past stakeholders and the stakeholders said it’s better to have instate tuition for American Indian students than not,” Salazar said. “And if it looks like the bill is going to die because of a wrong fiscal note, then we don’t want the bill to die.”
that exists in the current law, which mandates that businesses must offer an employee 110 percent of the average county wage. The new bill lowers that requirement to 100 percent. The bill also alters the “burden of proof” that companies must meet in order to qualify for the credit. Currently, businesses must prove that the jobs likely would not have been located in Colorado had it not been for the credit. According to the bill’s fiscal note, the changes to the bill “require employers to state that, without the credit, the probability of locating the jobs in Colorado would be reduced.” But the tax credit has guardrails because it is performance-based. The new employee must be employed for a full year before the business receives the credit, which is equal
to one-half of the amount of what employers pay for a worker’s federal Social Security and Medicare taxes. Aiding the bill’s chances of becoming law is a reduced fiscal impact that was presented to the House Appropriations Committee just hours before it received a full vote in the House. The original version of the bill would have cost the state $55 million through the 2027-2028 fiscal year. But fiscal analysts and bill sponsors managed to lower that amount to $30 million. “It is important to keep Colorado competitive and continue to attract new businesses to the state,” Rep. Kraft-Tharp said in a statement after the House vote. “This bill will create good jobs and help more businesses hire workers.”

The courses will fulfill the continuing education requirements demanded of working nurses. Liniger said the expansion of the program will also help address the lingering shortage of nurses.

help it grab the No. 1 spot. Maureen Taylor, chief executive officer at Sky Ridge Medical Center, said healthcare is among the top five industries for job growth. Students who attend the Colorado School of Public Health will have the ability to earn a certificate in health industry analytics, readying them for today’s constantly-changing health care market. The hybrid courses will enable working professionals to split their time between classroom learning and online classes. David Goff, dean of the Colorado School of Public Health, said he hopes to partner with local hospitals and practitioners on health need assessments and suicide prevention campaigns. The university could also work with schools on nutrition programs and in-home studies on how, for example, home allergens impact health, Goff said. More information about enrollment and classes can be found at www.CUsouthdenver.org.
Councilmembers approved the change unanimously. “For council, it really came down to a fairness issue when somebody three doors down is allowed to serve liquor because they existed before the school existed,” Mayor Pro Tem Jackie Millet said. “It just seemed there was some disparity in the way the law was being enforced. We feel we want to do everything we can to ensure they’re successful, at the same time balancing all the needs of the community.”

State firefighting fleet cleared for takeoff Plan would set aside $21 million to purchase or contract planes, helicopters By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com One way or another, the state will soon free up money to get an unfunded aerial firefighting fleet off the ground. The governor’s office and legislative leaders are on board with a spending plan that would set aside $21 million to purchase or contract planes and helicopters that are equipped to fight fires. The money was approved through an amendment to the annual state budget that was debated in the Senate on April 3. Gov. John Hickenlooper’s office and lawmakers will have to get creative to find where in the budget the fleet funding will be secured. But all sides agree that this will happen this year — much to excitement of the legislator who has been instrumental in driving the creation of the Colorado Firefighting Air Corps. “Quite frankly, this is the most important legislation of my life,” said Sen. Steve King, R-Grand Junction.
The funding behind King’s effort comes on the heels of a much-anticipated state fire report that was released last week. The Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control found that the state lacks resources in key firefighting areas, including a lack of aerial firefighting capabilities. “Colorado does not have the ability to deliver appropriate aviation resources in a timely fashion to support local suppression response to small fires while they are still small,” states the report, which was authored by CDFPC Director Paul Cooke. The report was mandated through last year’s passage of a bill — sponsored by King and Sen. Cheri Jahn, D-Wheat Ridge — that created the Colorado Firefighting Air Corps, a state-owned firefighting fleet. The “idea” of the fleet became law, but the legislation went unfunded, at least until the state could learn more about the feasibility of having its own fire fleet. Prior to the release of the fire report, Hickenlooper had been non-committal on the idea of undertaking the potentially enormous costs that come with operating a state-owned aerial fleet. However, Hickenlooper had been open to exploring ways of sharing those costs through a multistate effort. For months, it was uncertain whether
of four Type III rotor wing planes and four single-engine air tankers. The state will also spend $100,000 to set up a wildfire information management system, which will provide real-time fire information within the statewide fire communications system. The rest of the $21 million will be spent of airport fees, equipment and other related expenses. The Senate set aside the fleet money for this year’s budget in a placeholder funding area, until it is moved to another area within the budget. Henry Sobanet, the state’s budget director, said that the funding is expected to come from the state’s Tax Payer Bill of Rights reserves and through the delaying of paying back certain cash funds. “I think we’ll get the funding from the exact places where we want to see it come from,” Sobanet said. Alan Salazar, Hickenlooper’s chief strategist, said the governor’s office believes this is a large investment worth undertaking. “We don’t throw $20 million around lightly,” Salazar said. “But in the context of the potential costs of the fire and getting ahead of it, the consensus... is that this is a wise new position for the state to take.”
the fleet would ever become a reality. That all changed after Cooke released his 103page fire report on March 28. Cooke presented the report’s finding to a special legislative committee on April 3. He told lawmakers that Colorado competes with other states for federal resources to fight fires, and that the state doesn’t have the proper amount of tools needed to combat early or late-season wildfires. Cooke also said that the state currently has just two, single-engine air tankers available to deal with the entire state’s firefighting needs. “The state, in terms of being able to help to bring overwhelming force to a wildfire, that’s not the case...” he said. Cooke’s report recommended that the state acquire $33 million worth of firefighting aircraft and other technology. But Cooke later told the governor’s office that it should hold off on acquiring two large, fixed-wing air tankers — as his report recommended — because precipitation from this winter’s weather makes it difficult to determine when those large tankers would even be needed this year. That cuts price tag by $12 million. So the state plans to move forward with the purchase of two multi-mission fixedwing planes and will contract for the use
LEGISLATIVE BRIEFS Senate passes long bill
Flood relief bill passes House
amendments.
The Senate passed the annual state budget bill on April 4, with bipartisan support. The $23 billion “long bill” had previously passed the House. The Senate’s work included the passage of an amendment that sets aside $21 million for the creation of a state aerial firefighting fleet. The 2014-2015 fiscal year budget features a $200 million increase in K-12 education funding and $100 million that would backfill education budget cuts that the Legislature enacted during recession years. The bill also includes $100 million in additional higher education funding and provides relief for homeowners who were impacted by last year’s floods and wildfires. The long bill now heads back to the House for the consideration of Senate
Plumbing fixtures bill leads to partisan battle A bill that would prohibit the sale of low-efficiency plumbing fixtures in Colorado is on its way to the governor’s desk. The bill would ban the sale of faucets, shower heads and toilets that are not “WaterSense” certified by the federal government. The ban would take effect in 2016. The bill had previously passed the Senate and it received similar debate in the House last week, with Democrats arguing that the changes could conserve billions of gallons of water. But Republicans said the bill is another example of government telling people what to do. Gov. John Hickenlooper has not given any indication as to whether he intends to sign the bill.
Remote testimony bill advances
Changes made to a flood relief bill appeased Republicans in the House on April 4. The legislation provides tax relief for victims who were impacted by last year’s floods. The bill also provides relief for future victims whose homes might be destroyed by a natural disaster. Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee said during a recent hearing that they were concerned about the ongoing cost to the state. That problem seemed to have been fixed on April 4, when the bill was amended to create a process that allows future legislatures to conduct reviews of the legislation. The bill received initial approval through a voice vote in the House and was expected to pass with overwhelming bipartisan support during a final vote that was scheduled for April 7.
Residents of rural parts of Colorado may no longer have to drive several hours to testify on legislation at the Capitol, under a bill that passed a House panel on March 31. House Bill 1303 — sponsored by House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver and Rep. Ray Scott, R-Grand Junction — would allow legislative committees to take remote testimony from witnesses from different parts of the state. Videoconferencing links would be set up in a few different areas of the state, with a requirement that one of the links be set up in the Western Slope. The bill received unanimous support from the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee and now heads to the Appropriations Committee for further consideration.

Lone Tree audience the Twain shall meet ‘Big River’ brings American classic novel to local stage By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” will bring Mark Twain’s American classic novel to the stage at Lone Tree Arts Center from April 24 to May 4. The musical, with book by William Hauptman, music and lyrics by Roger Miller, celebrates a tale that is part of our national fabric. With the recent publication of Mark Twain’s two-volume autobiography, there is renewed appreciation for this author who was known around the world in his day. This year marks the 130th anniversary of Twain’s coming-of-age story of a rebellious teenager. Director Randal Myler will stage this production with music direction by Dan Wheetman and choreography by Candy Brown.

The original production of “Big River” was in 1985-87 in New York, followed by a uniquely cast revival with deaf and hard-of-hearing actors in 2003. The story follows Huck as he tires of being told how to behave and runs away down the river with runaway slave Jim, developing an unusual friendship as they interact with assorted characters en route. Myler’s version incorporates a storytelling troupe traveling down the river, a ragtag group playing multiple musical instruments as they stop and share stories. Mack Shirilla leads the cast as Huck, in a role he recently played in Dallas, while

Ice cream eatery the bombe
You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream! And the Hilltop and Crestmoor neighborhoods may be screaming the loudest now that the High Point Creamery is coming soon at 215 S. Holly St. on the southwest corner of Holly and Cedar. Husband and wife team Chad Stutz and Erika Thomas are opening their first retail location of High Point Creamery this spring with several more planned. The signature item will be the “bombe,” which Thomas describes as “a molded ice cream dessert that has its origins in Victorian-era France. First we layer ice cream, let it harden, and then we add a meringue, let that harden and then top it off with another layer of delicious ice cream. All of this then sets in an authentic copper mold from the 1960s. After it hardens, the bombe is removed from its mold and sliced like a cake to serve.” High Point also will serve sorbets and unusual ice cream toppings such as candied violets or black lava salt. The Creamery plans to host chefs from notable area restaurants to collaborate on their own specialty offerings. Visit www.highpointcreamery.com or like them on Facebook to be the first to know of the opening date.

In an interview with Cheryl Poules, president of the Parker Symphony, she writes about loving to have her violin as an outlet to express herself “in ways that would be impossible otherwise.” She says of “Lark Ascending”: “The first time I heard this piece, I was probably 15 years old and probably heard it on the radio. I was hooked the moment it started and just couldn’t believe something so beautiful truly existed ….” She quickly bought a CD and listened for hours. “There’s something about the simplicity and spaciousness of VaughanWilliams’ writing that is both unusual and entrancing.” Violinist Rene Knetsch is director of the Parker Symphony.

Denver gets visit from Phantom fan By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Michelle Gliottoni-Rodriguez has appeared in Colorado previously, in Golden, but this season will take her operatic voice and literary conversation to south Denver. She will perform selections from Quilter, Gounod, Faure and other classic favorites at the Broadway Music School Hall, and pianist Susan Olenwine of Boulder will be her accompanist. Billed as “Phantom’s Soprano and Author,” the Chicago-based singer plans to talk about her writing career and have some of her titles available for sale. She wrote more than 70 short, novel-length and published stories about the Phantom of the Opera — each distinctive. Titles include: “The Opera Ghost Unraveled”; “Manifestations of a Phantom’s Soul: a
Collection of Phantom Stories Volumes I and II”; as well as five novels that are not Phantom-themed. All are available on her Amazon listing. Gliottoni-Rodriguez studied music at St. Xavier University in Chicago and has performed in “Suor Angelica,” “Die Fledermaus,” “Marriage of Figaro,” “The Mikado,” “The Magic Flute,” “La Traviata” and more — in Europe and the U.S. She and her husband are raising three young children, including one with autism, and she credits her husband’s support as well as the joy she finds in writing, during the wee small hours of the night, for renewing the energy she needs each day to pursue her multiple paths. Gliottoni-Rodriguez will perform at 7:30 p.m. on April 26 at the Broadway Music School Hall, 1940 S. Broadway, Denver. Her recital will be followed with a book B:10.25” sale-signing.

Fielding the spotlight at shortstop Nick Shumpert, son of big leaguer, ranked No. 4 prospect in nation By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Once upon a time, Nick Shumpert wanted to play basketball at the University of Kentucky. Shumpert, a junior at Highlands Ranch, has verbally committed to play for the Wildcats but he’ll be playing baseball, not basketball when he gets to Lexington. According to MaxPreps, Shumpert is rated fourth among the top 50 players in the country for the class of 2015. Shumpert, a 6-foot-1, 180-pound shortstop, played half a season of basketball as a sophomore at Highlands Ranch after transferring from Heritage. It was then he listened to his Dad, former major leaguer Terry Shumpert, and his cousin Mookie Bettis — a highly regarded second basemen in the Boston Red Sox organization — and Nick made the tough decision to abandon basketball. Now that Shumpert is focusing on just baseball, he could be a high draft choice in major league baseball’s draft or an excellent recruit for the Kentucky baseball program. “I just wanted to focus on baseball and get better,” said Shumpert. “Next summer is going to be a big one and I want to be the best than I can be.” Terry Shumpert played mainly as a second baseman for 14 years in the major leagues including five seasons with the Colorado Rockies. He enjoys throwing batting practice to Nick, hitting ground balls and offering advice while trying not to push too hard or say too much. “I’m just thankful that I was blessed with a son that plays baseball,” he said. “I believe I never missed the game because I have a son that plays. “He had always played football and bas-

Last summer was the first he didn’t play basketball. I did give him my advice.” Terry Shumpert told his son that it was time to unleash his potential as a baseball player. Kevin Askeland, national baseball writer for Max Preps, says Nick Shumpert made a shrewd choice. “He seems to be moving up the charts pretty quickly,” said Askeland. “Perfect Game has him ranked No. 4 and other prospect guides have him as the first or second best shortstop in the Class of 2015. “People are seeing him and all the tools he has. He quit basketball to focus more on working with his Dad and working on his skills. It has really paid off for him because he
is getting higher and higher on these recruiting lists.” Shumpert played last summer on a Marucci Elite 17 Under traveling team based out of Houston, was a defensive standout at the Area Code Games and participated in the Under Armour All-American game. He has since been invited to play in the 2014 Under Armour game, which will be played Aug. 16 at Wrigley field. This spring, however, Shumpert is helping Highlands Ranch win games. “I’m just hoping we can have a winning season and make it to the playoffs,” he related. “You can always improve. You are never good enough so I’m just trying to improve every part of my game, hitting, fielding, ev-
erything. “There is no pressure. I’m just trying to get better each game. I’m working with my Dad to be a high draft choice and someday hopefully I will be able to play in the major leagues.” Terry Shumpert claims there are many things for his son to work on. “When we go out we work on offense, defense and just everything,” said the elder Shumpert. “I’ve trained him since he was little. Everything I did in the offseason is what he does. That’s just trying to be the best baseball player he can be. And, you can’t beat game experience.” After eight games, Shumpert is hitting .370 with a .500 on-base percentage and a .703 slugging percentage, with six stolen bases and two errors in 39 chances. Nick Shumpert has excellent range and a good arm to make both routine and highlight plays at shortstop. He has quick hands as a hitter and has displayed the power to produce extra base hits into the outfield gaps. “He’s as good of athlete as I’ve ever coached,” said Highlands Ranch coach John Cackowski. “He’s obviously been brought up in the baseball world. Everybody talks about Nick, about how good of athlete he is, but people don’t realize how smart of a baseball player he is. And he’s a team player. The guys on the team love him and he loves his teammates. He always has a smile on his face. He doesn’t get too down. He has a great temperament. “He’s good offensively and defensively. He makes plays both ways. He makes plays that high school players can’t make. He can charge a ball and he’s got such a strong arm.” Highlands Ranch played its second game of the season March 13 against Dakota Ridge at Coors Field, where his Dad played. Shumpert was a batboy for the Rockies when his Dad was on the team but it was special that Highlands Ranch had the opportunity to play at Coors Field. “Now it’s a great experience to have played at Coors and it felt weird playing shortstop where Tulo (Troy Tulowitzki) plays,” said Shumpert. “It was fun to play out at Coors Field.”
Golden Eagles shine on diamond Mountain Vista wraps up non-league slate with 7-1 mark By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia. com Mountain Vista baseball coach Ron Quintana likes to schedule tough nonleague games to get his team prepared to compete in the Continental League. The Golden Eagles, which defeated Dakota Ridge 8-2 in an April 2 game at Mountain Vista wrapped up the non-league portion of their schedule with a 5-4 win April 4 at Brighton. “The league is always tough,” said Quintana whose team enters league play with a 7-1 record. “That’s why we play good play teams like Dakota and Brighton. We always try to play Creek. We are always trying to get better.” Mountain Vista won four games in the Coach Bob Invitational tournament in Phoenix and the Golden Eagles only loss came in the season opener against Cherry Creek. “We lost to Creek in the Elite Eight last season,” continued Quintana. “A week later this group had a team meeting and I knew then that it was going to be a good group and it was going to be fun. When guys want to win and play for each other, it’s fun. “Last year we had some talent. We had a good senior group. This year we have a better group overall. The kids get along, they
do stuff together, hang out, they are willing to go to battle for each other. That’s huge. We have great leadership.” After eight games, Mountain Vista was hitting .372 as a team led by senior Brian Froechtenigt who hit eighth in the lineup against Dakota Ridge. Froechtenigt is hitting .643. Junior second baseman Marc Mumper is hitting .455 and junior catcher Brady Subart, a basketball standout who wears prescription goggles when he plays, is hitting .435. Senior shortstop Jack Strunc has chipped in with a .500 average. Dakota Ridge starting pitcher Jake Stecki silenced the Golden Eagle bats in the April 2 game and had a perfect game for 3 1/3 innings until Mumper sparked a five-run uprising with a drag bunt down the third base line. “He had a perfect game,” said Mumper who made two outstanding leaping defensive plays to snare line drives during the game. “He was throwing so slow. He was good; he was on. He was beating us so I just thought I might as well change it up. “So I tried to get a bunt down and get something going. Even if I’m out I still thought I’d have a chance to get something going and change up his rhythm a little bit. We got going a little bit after that.” Subart beat out an infield hit to keep the inning alive and has 11 of his team-leading 14 runs batted in during the past four games. “I just had to get back into the swing of things and just get into a routine,” explained Subart. “It was a struggle at first after basketball until we played down in Arizona. Once we got through the first two

Photo by Jerry Healey days in Arizona it was all right.” Senior right-hander Nick Leonard scattered four hits and struck out 14 batters to earn his third win of the season in the game against Dakota Ridge. “I don’t think of myself as a strikeout pitcher,” said Leonard who throws a fastball, splitter and curve. “My main focus is to try and get ground balls and pop-ups and let my defense work around me. When strikeouts come it’s just an added bonus.” Leonard has been getting a lot of bo-
nuses this season. He has recorded 14 strikeouts in two separate games and has fanned a total of 31 batters in 23 innings pitched while compiling a 0.61 earned run average. “We’re getting into our season now,” he said. “We’re starting to come along. Everyone is hitting the ball, we’re playing good defense and all of all our pitchers are doing well.” Mountain Vista opened league play April 7 against Highlands Ranch.

Wind gets in the way at Heritage Invitational Only 12 of 75 golfers shoot 85 or under By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Prior to the start of the Heritage Invitational girls golf tournament March 31 at The Golf Club at Ravenna, several coaches felt that 85 would be a good score. Cool, windy conditions on the tough course resulted in soaring scores. The 5,654-yard layout from the umber tees located in Waterton Canyon has 11 bunkers, tricky greens and side hill lies on almost every fairway. There were 75 golfers who competed in the tournament and the average score was 105.2 but there were 12 golfers that did manage to shoot 85 or lower. Mary Weinstein of Regis Jesuit took medalist honors with a 3-over-par 74 while Arapahoe’s Hannah Wood and senior Samantha Barker of Highlands Ranch came home with rounds of 77 to finish tied for second place. Heritage sophomore Delaney Benson had a 79 to take fourth. Wood, a senior who will be playing next season for the University of Oklahoma, was 3-under after the front nine but faded on the backside. “It’s a mental thing,” said Wood. “The wind was the thing. There are a lot of
blind shots on the back nine. It was my second time playing the course and it was hard for me to remember the back nine. I could have done a lot better.” Barker recorded a triple bogey on her first hole but recovered and notched a respectable score. “Sam played well,” said Samantha’s father and Highlands Ranch coach James Barker. “She got off to a bad start but righted the ship. She missed a bunch of short putts or it could have been a really good day. “She said she missed five 5-footers and some of those were for birdies. It could have been a great day but it was still a good day. It was a tough day to play golf.” Benson may have had the shot of the day with a hole-in-one on the 104-yard third hole. “I hit my gap wedge,” she said. “It kind of just bounced and rolled right in. It was pretty cool. The wind was pretty strong so I had to club up. That was my first hole-in-one. I’m pretty happy. I had a good round.” Regis captured the team title with a 240 total of the lowest three scores recorded. Arapahoe was second at 253. Rock Canyon, led by Michelle Romano’s 87, was third with 264 points followed by Heritage and Highlands Ranch. Andrea Ballou of Valor Christian carded an 82 to pace the Eagles to a sixth place finish.

Dance party targets 55-and-over crowd Former party planner wants to ‘spice things up’ By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Being single in Parker is no easy task. It can be even more difficult for the 55-andup demographic. Many of the events that allow singles to mingle and get to know one another tend to be in Denver. That’s why Parker resident Marty Pickert is taking it upon herself to “spice things up.” She has scheduled two
dance parties in April at Takoda Tavern, a popular watering hole on the southeast corner of South Parker Road and Hess Road. “I decided that it’s really boring (in Parker) for dance people,” she said. “We need to do something to have some fun.” Pickert, who ran an event-planning business called “Parties by Marty” up until three years ago, said there are no places for older people to dance, so she has built a music playlist that features everything from rock `n’ roll and country to disco and slow ballads. Pickert and her group of girlfriends go to the Tailgate Tavern in downtown Parker
to line dance to country bands on Thursday nights. But there is often one thing missing: a few good men. “There are tons of neat women who are widowed and divorced — tons,” she said. “We’re trying to find Pickert the guys.” Pickert, who turns 71 this month, is employing a clever tactic to spark conversations, particularly because “people are shy,” regardless of their age and level of experience. Each lady who attends will be given a tag bearing the name of a classic song; every
gentleman will get a tag with the name of a musical artist. The idea is to match the song name with the band that recorded it to bring people together. “They might think it’s corny, but it gets people in the spirit,” she said. It’s not the first time Pickert has tried to improve things for residents 55 and older. She is actively working on a plan to establish senior cohousing in Parker. The “Singles 55+ Networking and Dance” parties are from 4-8 p.m. April 13 and April 27 at Takoda Tavern, 12311 Pine Bluffs Way. Admission is free and there is no requirement to RSVP. Call 303-649-9125 for more information.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Although things are pretty hectic through much of the week, some quiet time with loved ones helps restore balance. An unexpected visitor brings welcome news about a mutual friend. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Getting used to change isn’t always easy for the Big Cat. But make the adjustments gradually, and soon you’ll hardly remember when things were any different from how they are now. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Continue to stay the course you’ve chosen, and avoid distractions that could throw you off track. Some knowledgeable folks are happy to provide guidance if you need it. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Although you earned plaudits from most co-workers for your recent stand on a workplace situation, you also raised the envy quotient among others. Tread carefully for now. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) You feel more positive about that delayed project, and you’re ready to pick it up on a moment’s notice. However, you might need to re-motivate those who have since lost interest. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Some welcome news should be coming your way. in the meantime, use that Sagittarius charm to persuade some stillreluctant colleagues that your ideas have merit. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Don’t wait for a misunderstanding to work itself out. instead, ask for a chance to explain the circumstances before those bruised feelings lead to an irreversible break.

Your social life takes an unexpected but not unwelcome turn. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Yours might be the wisest sign in the Zodiac. But you still could benefit from the wisdom of a close friend who has suggestions on how to handle a perplexing personal problem.

TO: STEPHANIE BENEDICT: You are hereby notified that a petition has been filed which alleges that the above-named child is dependent or neglected based upon the factual allegations and legal definitions of dependency or neglect set forth in the Dependency and Neglect Petition, a copy of which is served simultaneously with this Dependency Summons and additional copies of which may be obtained at the office of John Thirkell, at the above address. A Return of Service and Advisement Hearing has been set for April 21, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. in Division 2, Douglas County District Court, 4000 Justice Way, Castle Rock, Colorado, 80109. Your presence before this court is required to defend against the claims in this petition. IF YOU FAIL TO APPEAR, THE COURT WILL PROCEED IN YOUR ABSENCE, WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE, TO CONDUCT AN ADJUDICATORY HEARING AND MAY ENTER A JUDGMENT BY DEFAULT THEREBY ADJUDICATING YOUR CHILD AS A DEPENDENT OR NEGLECTED CHILD. You have the right to request a trial by jury at the adjudicatory stage of this petition. You also have the right to legal representation at every stage of the proceedings by counsel of your own choosing, or if you are without sufficient financial means and meet the indigency guidelines established by the Colorado Supreme Court, appointment of counsel by the Court at state expense. Termination of your parent-child legal relationship to free your child for adoption is a possible remedy in this proceeding. If that remedy is pursued, you are entitled to a hearing before a Judge. You also have the right, if you are indigent, to have the Court appoint, at no expense to you, one expert witness of your own choosing at any hearing on the termination of your parent-child relationship. If you are a minor, you have the right to the appointment of a Guardian ad litem to represent your best interests. You have the right to have this matter heard by a district court judge rather than by the magistrate. You may waive that right, and in doing so, you will be bound by the findings and recommendations of the magistrate, subject to review as provided by section 19-1-108(5.5), C.R.S. 2013, and subsequently, to the right of appeal as provided by Colorado Appellate Rule 3.4. Rule 4.2 of the Colorado Rules of Juvenile Procedure provides for the following advisement about dependency and neglect cases: (a) At the first appearance before the court, the respondent(s) shall be fully advised by the court as to all rights and the possible consequences of a finding that a child is dependent or neglected. The court shall make certain that the respondent(s) understand the following: (1) The nature of the allegations contained in the petition; (2) As a party to the proceeding, the right to counsel; (3) That if the respondent(s) is a parent, guardian, or legal custodian, and is indigent, the respondent may be assigned counsel as provided by law. (4) The right to a trial by jury; (5) That any admission to the petition must be voluntary; (6) The general dispositional alternatives available to the court if the petition is sustained, as set forth in Section 19-3-508, C.R.S.; (7) That termination of the parent-child legal relationship is a possible remedy which is available if the petition is sustained; (8) That if a motion to terminate the parent-child legal relationship is filed, the court will set a separate hearing at which the allegations of the motion must be proven by clear and convincing evidence; (9) That termination of the parent-child legal relationship means that the subject child would be available for adoption; (10) That any party has the right to appeal any final decision made by the court; and (11) That if the petition is admitted, the court is not bound by any promises or representations made by anyone about dispositional alternatives selected by the court. (b) The respondent(s), after being advised, shall admit or deny the allegations of the petition. (c) If a respondent(s) admits the allegations in the petition, the court may accept the admission after making the following finding: (1) That the respondent(s) understand his or her rights, the allegations contained in the petition, and the effect of the admission; (2) That the admission is voluntary. (d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Rule to the contrary, the court may advise a non-appearing respondent(s) pursuant to this Rule in writing and may accept a written admission to the petition if the respondent has affirmed under oath that the respondent(s) understands the advisement and the consequences of the admission, and if, based upon such sworn statement, the court is able to make the findings set forth in part (c) of this Rule. This summons is being initiated by the Douglas County Department of Human Services through its counsel.
