Project brings frontage road closure Portion of San Luis Street set for demolition in I-25 construction By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com An I-25 frontage road and part of an existing on-ramp will be demolished as part of the Colorado Department of Transportation’s lane-balancing project that begins this month. A portion of San Luis Street running north from Lincoln Avenue to Bierstadt Way east of I-25 is slated for demolition to make way for an expanded interstate on-
ramp and ease traffic flow to the ramp. In its place, a multi-use trail will be constructed just east of the current street. The stretch of San Luis that extends from Bierstadt Way, on which Hacienda Colorado and the Lincoln Station pedestrian overpass is located, to Jamaica Street will remain. “Right now there’s a really confusing intersection on Lincoln just east of I-25,” CDOT project manager Dole Grebenik said, referring to the San Luis/Lincoln intersection. “The existing San Luis alignment will become the new I-25 on ramp. It lines up better with the intersection. It’s safer and has better visibility. The existing Project continues on Page 22

Lone Tree Mayor Pro Tem Jackie Millet recently was appointed chair of the Denver Regional Council of Governments. She steps in for former Douglas County Commissioner Jack Hilbert, who resigned to accept a positon as the Child Welfare Hotline system manager for the Colorado Department of Human Services. Millet, elected the group’s vice chair in February, has represented Lone Tree on the DRCOG board since 2010. Millet The council brings regional leaders together to speak with one voice on transportation and development issues. It’s also the federally designated Area Agency on Aging, Established in 1995, it is one of the country’s three oldest councils of governments. Members include nine metro-area counties and 47 municipalities. “It really does provide great opportunity for a much broader perspective, not only of the Denver metro, but nationally and even beyond the borders of the United States,” Millet said. DRCOG has a Sister Cities International partnership with Baghdad, which promotes the exchange of ideas and understanding between the two entities. DRCOG helps ascertain how federal transportation money is used in the region. It is also working on Metro Vision 2040, an update of a regional plan first drafted in 1997 that focuses on transportation, development and the environment. In its 40th year as a designated Area Agency on Aging for the region, DRCOG also plans and provides services for older Millet continues on Page 22

Volunteer focuses on domestic violence Crisis Center provides shelter, legal help, more for victims By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com By day, Becki Rupp answers the phone and sends out emails, helps on presentations and plans events. The 44-year-old marketer for Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield likes her job, but it’s what she does at the Crisis Center — serving Douglas and Elbert counties — that fulfills her. “It allows me to help plan and support the initiative that will help people,” Rupp said. “And improve their lives in the long term.” Her introduction to the Crisis Center started in 2009 when she volunteered at the Future for Families Gala, an annual fundraiser for the organization that provides a safe house and services for victims of domestic violence. From there, Rupp volunteered at the safe house and, more recently, joined the board of directors. “She’s got an incredible heart for the organization,” said Jennifer Walker, executive director of the Crisis Center. “An all-around great volunteer.” After helping with the gala, Rupp saw how the Castle Rock-based organization was making a difference, so she decided to volunteer at the center’s shelter. She volunteered there for about three years, dedicating three hours a week. The shelter is a 28-bed safe house in a confidential location for victims of domestic violence. Men, women and children may stay at the shelter to escape abuse, said Lynn Adams, marketing and community outreach coordinator for the Crisis Center. “It’s really eye-opening to see how it plays out in people’s lives,” she said, adding that her time at the shelter gave her a firsthand look at the effects of domestic violence. Rupp joined the 11-member board of directors in January 2013. She wanted to bring her marketing skills and previous ex-
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE NEAR YOU • Domestic violence is the number one violent crime in Douglas County, from a law enforcement perspective, and it is often under-reported. • Areas that experience a lot of growth, such as Douglas County, especially have a need for services in order to address the problem. • Abuse happens everywhere, even in affluent communities. • Domestic violence crosses all ages and both genders, all ethnic groups, and all socioeconomic levels. • Research shows that 95 percent of boys and 72 percent of girls who witness domestic violence will carry abuse into their adult relationships, as either the victim or the perpetrator. • The Crisis Center serves 1,000 to 1,200 domestic violence victims a year in Elbert and Douglas counties. Those numbers do not include calls to the crisis line. Source: The Crisis Center
WHAT THE CENTER DOES • It provides general community outreach, informing residents about the services the organization offers and opportunities for community members to get involved. • Offers children’s and legal advocates for clients, and provides seven professionally trained therapists. In addition, about 300 people volunteer at the shelter. • It holds fundraising efforts to support the safe house and the organization’s services. • There are 11 domestic violence shelters in the Denver metro area that work with the Crisis Center. Those shelters work closely together to provide a safe place for victims.
perience from work with other nonprofit organizations to the center. “The dynamics shift a little,” she said. “The board serves as the executive director’s boss.” At the shelter, Rupp interacts with one to 10 people per week. As a board member, she cannot work directly with clients, but her efforts affect a larger number of people. “This work has the opportunity to have an impact on the bigger picture,” Rupp said. Clients who come to the shelter are not the only ones who benefit from the services

Often, people who are not directly exposed to domestic violence fail to notice the impact on society, Rupp said. A person who is abused cannot be a productive community member, one example being in the workplace, she said, and children who are exposed to domestic violence may develop behavioral problems or have troubles in school, thus affecting their peers. Intervention is important, but education and prevention are also critical, Rupp said. “(It’s) not just slapping a Band-Aid on the immediate situation, but healing the deeper wound,” she said. “Reaching way beyond the shelter, deep into the community.” She may not be able to end world hunger, or create world peace, Rupp said, but “you’ve got to start somewhere.” For Rupp, that somewhere is the Crisis
LOOKING FOR HELP Jennifer Walker, executive director of the Crisis Center, said the organization’s board of directors is looking to add five more members. “We’re looking for people who are strong leaders with good connections in the community, (who are) not afraid to be ambassadors of the agency,” Walker said. Interested candidates can contact Walker at 303688-1094 or jwalker@thecrisiscenter.org. What the board of directors does: • Strategic and long-range planning, including budgeting • Provides oversight for the organization • Makes sure the organization is meeting its mission • Takes into account world and local views on domestic violence

Fire crews put vacant store to use South Metro trains at old King Soopers building in Cottonwood By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com South Metro Fire Rescue didn’t hesitate when it was offered the opportunity to use the vacant King Soopers building in Parker’s Cottonwood subdivision for training. The abandoned space — scheduled for demolition this fall — is the perfect place for firefighters, medics and supervisors to run through scenarios. For six days earlier this month, South Metro conducted drills, testing first-responders on their ability to deal with a mass-casualty incident in which five people are “injured” by a scaffolding collapse. The call, however, comes in as a fire, and the first safety officer on scene must recognize that other resources will be needed, said Lt. Brian Netzel, adjunct instructor for the fire department. “It’s a realistic scenario to show up on a fire alarm and end up with who knows what,” he said. “In this case, it’s more than a medical call. It’s a mass-casualty incident.” A mock patient played by a South Metro firefighter yells that his chest and legs hurt as personnel entered the unlit building with flashlights. The victim is purposefully placed near the entrance to distract the crews. To correctly assess the situation, Netzel said, one firefighter or medic should be assigned to that patient while the rest move on.
South Metro Fire Rescue firefighters carry a hose into a space connected to the vacant King Soopers in Parker during a fire training session on Aug. 8. Photos by Chris Michlewicz “Your conscious patients that are screaming for help draw you to them, but it’s usually the unconscious ones that need your help,” said Netzel, who is a firefighter based in station 44 near Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street. The responders who were tested the afternoon of Aug. 8 made the right decision, and moved on to a separate part of the building, where another mock patient was buried in rubble and, per the scenario, impaled by a pipe that had to be cut away. Firefighters pulled the debris off of the patient and wheeled him out to a waiting ambulance. Separate groups of South Metro personnel were tasked with triaging, extracting, extricating, treating and transporting patients. The battalion chief, who takes over command when he arrives on scene, oversaw the entire flow. In all, three shifts from 17 stations were cycled through during the six-day training period, which was planned with one week’s notice.

Becky O’Guin, spokeswoman for the fire authority, credited safety officers in charge of training and adjunct instructors like Netzel for helping crews practice for the real thing. “He works so hard for us,” O’Guin said. “Above and beyond.” While there were no concrete goals, the teams were assessed on their ability to adapt to changing situations. A separate drill in a former dog grooming shop adjacent to the King Soopers at South Parker Road and Cottonwood Drive focused on putting out a commercial structure fire. A fog machine simulated smoky conditions and firefighters ran fire hoses into the shop. Supervisors step in during times when exact conditions cannot be replicated. “The things we can’t make them see, we tell them what they’re seeing,” Netzel said. “If a (safety) officer lifts a thermal-imaging camera, they say `you see heat in the back corner.’” The safety officer is expected to respond accordingly.

Metro takes advantage when it has a chance to put their skills to the test in an abandoned building, Netzel said.
Recycling law to hike paint prices By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Paint prices will eventually go up under a new law aimed at promoting recycling. The law, parts of which took effect last week, tacks on a fee for household paint purchases. The fee will go toward the creation of a paint recycling drop-off program. State Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, who backed the legislation that led to the law, said she hopes the program will have a positive environmental impact. “It is the highest volume product that is not recycled,” Newell said of used paint cans. “It either ends up in landfills with paint inside cans or it ends up sitting in people’s basements, or it ends up in the water stream.” The drop-off centers will be located at home improvement and hardware stores, where cans can be recycled at no cost. “Retailers themselves don’t have to do this,” Newell said, “but the majority will
want to be a retail recycling site because it drives traffic to their stores.” The process of creating the program began last week. After the new year, retailers will get together to discuss the full implementation of the program, Newell said. The per-can fee amount is not detailed in the legislation’s fiscal analysis, but it is estimated that at least $93,000 in fees will be needed to be collected in the first year in order for the state to cover administrative costs. The cost doesn’t sit well with Republicans, the overwhelming majority of whom voted against the bill earlier this year. “Once again Governor (John) Hickenlooper and the Democrats have created yet another burdensome program that heaps more unnecessary fees onto consumers in Colorado,” House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, said through an emailed statement. “Now that this law has gone into effect, Coloradans can thank the Democrats for the increased cost of paint.”

CDOT calls lane effort a success Short-term congestion tactic likely to be used elsewhere By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com The Colorado Department of Transportation said its through-lane experiment on southbound Interstate 25 has been a success, and it likely will use the strategy elsewhere in the state. The method included adding a solid white lane to designate the left-hand lane from about Dry Creek Road to near RidgeGate Parkway for through traffic only. It is set for elimination as the two-year lanebalancing project gets underway this month. Some Douglas County residents who have used the lane gave it a tentative thumbs-up. “I think the concept is great,” said Larkspur resident Lee Martin. “I like the idea of being able to get past, especially at that Lincoln exit that jams up so bad. If we can keep that steady flow going on for people going south, I think it’s a great idea. “But I think in the limited time it was used, the public didn’t get it. It kind of irritated me that people were still crossing in and out of the lane. There would need to be some public education done on it. In a longer period of time, I think that would happen.”
Martin also said the dedicated lane seemed irrelevant later in the evenings, when traffic was light. Castle Rock resident Rachel Moszer said restricting one lane had a negative impact on the remaining lanes. “If you were getting onto I-25 before Dry Creek, it worked pretty well,” she said. “But it created a bit more of a bottleneck getting onto I-25 (south) from C-470 during rush hour because there were only a couple of lanes available, and everyone was crammed into them.” Like Martin, she noticed many drivers disregarded the white line. “It’s annoying for the people that are trying to respect it and not just cross over,” she said. CDOT spokeswoman Crystal Morgan said driver feedback she heard was positive. “From the traveling public’s point of view, it has seen a lot of success,” she said. “We will most likely be implementing a similar project elsewhere in the state.” The dedicated lane can only be used on sections of highway with at least three lanes of traffic. This month, CDOT is beginning a $35 million project to add an additional lane in each direction of I-25 between Lincoln Avenue and County Line Road. The project will continue through December 2016 and will alleviate the bottlenecks created by traffic merging onto and off of I-25 at both C-470 and Lincoln.
School tip line now under state control New laws include change for violence reporting system By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The reorganization of a school violence hotline was among a handful of new safety laws that took effect last week. The Safe2Tell Act moves an existing anonymous tip line from the nonprofit sector to a state-run program that is operated through the Department of Law. The program was set to shut down due to a lack of funding before the Legislature unanimously passed a bill earlier this year that transfers its control to the state. The hotline was set up after the 1999 Columbine High School shootings as a way for students to provide anonymous reports of potential campus threats. The state claims that since its implementation, the hotline has prevented some school attacks and suicides and has led to intervention in more than 2,000 bullying instances. “Students are often the first to hear threats against a school, or to see bullying or drug use, so they play a critical role in
preventing these problems,” state Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, a bill sponsor, said through an emailed statement. “Safe2Tell empowers students to break the silence in an anonymous, proactive way so that kids can focus on learning while at school.” Also taking effect last week was a separate public safety effort that imposes new penalties on businesses that sell designer drugs. The law subjects vendors who sell synthetic marijuana, often called “spice,” to civil liability. Synthetic drugs have been known to be more dangerous than marijuana and have resulted in some deaths. “Despite their growing popularity, synthetic drugs are incredibly dangerous and this new law is a crucial step in taking action against these harmful substances,” state Rep. Lois Landgraf, R-Fountain, a bill sponsor, said through an emailed statement. “I’m comforted knowing this law is now in place to help keep synthetic drugs out of Colorado children’s hands.” Also taking effect last week is a new public safety law that makes operating a vehicle chop shop a Class 4 felony. The law is meant to curb cases of automobile thefts in the state.

‘Three Stooges’ put on a show Larry, Moe and Curly appear as steers at the fair By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com
Twin sisters brought the Three Stooges to the Douglas County Fair this year. Sydney and Taylor Buckley, 18, of Franktown, showed three steers, which they named Larry, Moe and Curly, at the Douglas County Jr. Livestock Sale on Aug. 8. Curly, the grand champion steer, sold for $9,000. The girls said they were especially fond of Curly because he was born from one
of their cows. They said it is rare to get to show an animal they raised from birth. In addition to the Three Stooges, the girls showed three sheep and one heifer at the auction. “This is what we love to do,” Sydney said. “We put all our time and effort into it.” The girls said they wake up at 5 a.m. every day, and work with their animals for about 10 hours each day. But they agreed their favorite part is showing the animals. “Once it’s all done, it’s great to be able to show what you’ve got to offer,” Taylor said.

Sydney will be attending school at Texas Tech University, and Taylor will be attending school at the Uni-
lic. She said it has to be determined which avenues need to be taken in order for the project to continue to move forward. The intention of the project is to relieve congestion and improve safety and mobility on C-470 by constructing additional lanes. Three funding options were proposed, one being sales and property tax increases, and one was adding a toll for all use of C-470. Public input proved these two options to be unfavorable to the citizens, and on Feb. 7, 2013, the C-470 Coalition voted to place a toll on only the new express lanes of the highway. The user-based toll option passed 7-0 among the coalition. However, the express lane toll is not to generate revenue, but more about managing traffic flow. Key presenters at the town hall meeting include representatives from CDOT, the C-470 project team and the C-470 Coalition, which is made up of representatives from Douglas, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties; the

The first hour will consist of a discussion on financing and partnership opportunities for the proposed improvements to the busy stretch of highway. That discussion will be followed by a presentation including an “update on the C-470 project, innovations in transportation choice, funding and project delivery, how public private partnerships (P3) are being used to finance transportation projects elsewhere in the state and whether a P3 model for financing improvements to C-470 East is being considered,” the news release states. After the presentation, attendees will be able to participate in a questions-and-comments session. “This is a critical corridor, we’re looking at all the considerations,” Castle said. “We’re encouraging folks to give us input.”

Gardner talks cost of doing business Congressman stops in Parker to meet with chamber, mayor By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner — who is amid a campaign to unseat Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Udall — stopped by Parker to talk about small businesses and possible solutions to the tax difficulties they face. Gardner, R-Yuma, spoke during a congressional update hosted by the Parker Area Chamber of Commerce Aug. 12 at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center. The meeting became an open discussion with the few people who attended, including Parker Mayor Mike Waid and town Councilmember Josh Rivero. Much of the conversation focused on the high cost of doing business and its impact on economic progress in the 4th Congressional District and beyond. Business personal property tax, an annual assessment on equipment used for business purposes, is one area that needs improvement, Waid said. It is a frequent topic of discussion in local, state and national races, primarily because the tax is seen as an unnecessary hurdle for businesses that operate on a limited budget. The Town of Parker doesn’t charge business personal property tax, but Waid pointed out that Douglas County does. “Personally, I would like to see it go away,” Waid said. It’s one of the many unanticipated expenses small-business owners incur, and Gardner suggested including it on a list of “things to watch out for” that could be distributed to those applying with the state for business licenses. He asked the Parker chamber to poll its members to help narrow down the top financial pitfalls that entrepreneurs might not expect. Waid said stripping away the “barriers” that encumber businesses should be a top priority at all levels of government. “If we don’t get our financial issues in order from the federal level on down, the social issues don’t matter,” the mayor said. He cited the example of a medical-device manufacturer that bought a building
WHAT IS ‘BUSINESS PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX?’ In addition to real property valuations, the county assessor is required by Colorado state statute to value all business personal property for taxation purposes. Business personal property includes machinery, equipment and leasehold improvements specific to business purposes. All personal property is taxable in Colorado unless specifically exempt by the Colorado Constitution. The owner of taxable personal property as of Jan. 1 must file a declaration schedule if the total actual value (market value) of all the personal property is greater than $7,000 per county. All equipment not exempt by law must be listed on the schedule. Assets that are exempt include software and standalone equipment with an initial cost under $350. Source: Douglas County website — www.Douglas.co.us in Parker last year, but never opened because the accountant didn’t factor in business personal property tax, which drastically changed the company’s projected profit-margin. The manufacturer is selling the building and no longer plans to move to Parker, killing at least 16 new jobs, Waid said. Gardner said he has pushed for several initiatives that would foster a more business-friendly environment, including a small business savings account that functions much like an IRA and is an ideal “investment vehicle.” Business owners would enjoy tax-free gains and be able to invest the money into new employees or equipment. The Republican congressman said the average annual regulatory cost per employee in Colorado is around $13,000. Also discussed during Gardner’s visit: the congressman’s proposal to expand earned income-tax credits to address low wages; taking advantage of bipartisan support to repeal certain elements of Obamacare that hamstring businesses; avoiding a national minimum-wage hike; the benefits of affording control to local governments; and the town’s Business-in-Transition program, which provides financial assistance for home-based businesses to move into storefronts.

8-Opinion
OPINION Don’t end up four words shy
8 Lone Tree Voice
Y O U R S
Don’t come up three words shy in family life is good tip to live by. In the civic arena of the early election season, we say don’t be four words short. Be able to stand up and say, “I registered to vote.” Even though matters of hydraulic fracturing have gone the way of a task force instead of ballot questions, plenty of other heady issues and candidate choices will be in play Nov. 4. The general election will be conducted with mail ballots expected to land in mailboxes by the second week of October. Those who voted in the primary are generally confident of their registrations and simply await their ballots. But those not in the thrust of Republican and Democrat party primary activities may want to take a few seconds to double check their registration status at respective county websites.
&
OUR VIEW Not to cause worry, but it really only takes a moment to check a voter registration through links on county websites — and to newly register is an easy process as well. Something good to know is that registered voters remain registered in perpetuity by state law. Registrations are removed only when a mail ballot comes back as undeliverable for two election cycles. So a long as voters keep address information up to date and accurate, the ballots keep coming. Those who register before the eighth
day before the election at www.govotecolorado.com will automatically receive a mail ballot. After the eighth day, those wanting to register must visit one of the Voter Service and Polling Centers in their respective counties. Applications received through voter registration drives must be received 22 days before the election. And ultimately, in Colorado citizens may register Election Day in-person at a county voter service and polling center. And who can vote? The basics: A voter must be 18, a United States citizen, have resided in Colorado for 22 days before the election and not serving certain types of criminal sentences. So come November don’t be even two words shy. Let’s all be wearing “I voted” stickers. To register, go to www.douglas.co.us/ elections/.

Looking for the good and creating joy The past five weeks have been extremely busy, including several flights and two cross-country road trips. Albeit I snuck in a vacation at the beach, I was unable to heed my own advice and completely disconnect from work and completely revel in the sun and sand. However, I will say this, as crazy as the business trips and vacation have been, they have also been exceedingly productive and energizing. You see, part of the problem sometimes, even when we are on vacation, is that we quickly get frustrated with situations and others around us. We look for the bad instead of the good. You know what I mean, right? We are in line for an attraction or dinner and someone jumps the line and gets in ahead of us. And, yes, that can be completely exasperating, but only if we allow it. What if we just allowed ourselves to think positively and think, “Well, maybe they have some reason that is more urgent for them to go first than mine.” Or maybe, in the case of the restaurant, “They will not get the best server and we will.” My old boss, mentor, and great friend Zig Ziglar used to remind us that, “Some people go around looking for the bad like there was some kind of reward for it.” And if we look for the bad, it sure is easy to find. However, I am here to remind you, as Zig always reminded me, that it is just as easy and maybe even easier to look for and find the good in people, situations, and in life. I know, I know, how could that even be possible when so many things seem
to stack up against us at times? Money problems, work-related issues, health crises, and broken or damaged relationships take up residence in our lives when we least expect them, and we would certainly rather be looking at a brighter picture. And we can look for that brighter picture through the lens of hope. Even in the face of these very issues that hurt us, frustrate us, or limit us, we can look for that silver lining and absolutely look for the good. When we have money problems we are forced to rethink our current strategy and plan. I know many people who have dealt with bankruptcy only to find their passion and start their very own successful business. There are countless stories of people with work-related challenges, who always used to blame the company or others for their problems, who then found out that they could contribute at a higher level personally and took ownership of improving the current office environment. And most inspiring are those people facing a health issue rising up to either help others in the same situation or never allowing their debilitation to limit
their performance. They search out what is good and what can be done and get after it. The emails I have received from our community over these past fiveplus years include incredible stories of people who felt brokenhearted until they realized that relationships that were intended to be mended were, and those relationships that needed to end actually ended, and they were never happier once they sought out the good in themselves and became less reliant on others for true happiness. Have you ever been on the highway while another driver was swerving in and out of traffic, almost causing an accident, and the whole experience left you absolutely troubled? What if for one minute we stopped and thought that maybe they have a medical emergency and are trying to get to the hospital? Now that occurs in about 2 percent of all rude driver behavior instances, but it could happen, and if we looked for the good instead of getting angered and upset, we could easily continue on our very merry way. Finding joy begins with each one of us looking for the good instead of the bad. How about you, can you use a little more “good finding” in your life? If so, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and as we collectively look for the good it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Highlands Ranch, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation and the CEO/ founder of www.candogo.com.

Bill aims to help close ‘skills gap’ At a time when federal dollars are stretched thin, we need to shift to models that pay for outcomes, rather than paying for services that may or may not be working. This is the type of approach that can and should apply to a range of government services. It’s also the type of approach Republican Sen. Rob Portman and I took when crafting the recently passed Pay-for-Success Act — which works to make federal job training programs more effective and responsive to what employers want. When I meet with business owners from all across the state, from the Western Slope to the San Luis Valley, from large manufacturers to small information technology companies, there is one thing that they have in common: a challenge finding workers with skills that match their business needs. At Western Slope Industries in Grand Junction they stressed how difficult it was to find employees with the proper training. Diversified Machine Systems in Colorado
Springs is rapidly expanding with high customer demand, yet they are not able to hire qualified employees fast enough. In Loveland, Leed Fabrication’s need is so great, they had to build their own training facility. It’s not that there aren’t enough workers, it’s that they aren’t trained in the fields that are hiring. This problem, commonly referred to as the “skills gap,” is driving unemployment and stifling economic growth in Colorado and across the nation. A 2011 report found that 74 percent of manufacturers are experiencing workforce
shortages or skills deficiencies that are significantly hindering their ability to expand operations and improve productivity. They aren’t alone. Employers across the country — particularly in the information-technology sector and throughout other high-growth industries in this economy — are facing a lack of skilled workers, even as tens of thousands of Coloradans continue to look for work. The Pay-for-Success Act creates a new model for workforce development that helps address this problem and close the skills gap by improving federal job training programs. State and local workforce boards will now have the flexibility to enter into contracts with job-training providers who will be reimbursed for their services only if they deliver on agreed-upon outcomes. For instance, a Colorado job-training provider tasked with training a certain number of workers to fill high-need positions in a specific region or a rapidly growing industry would not be paid if the jobs aren’t filled. The
result is workforce development training that is more aligned to regional needs and employer demands. In Colorado, roughly 10 percent of core federal job-training funds, or $3.24 million, will be available for workforce boards to steer toward these innovative types of “Pay-for Success” contracts. This will help state and local workforce boards better serve the roughly 9,000 Coloradans who use their services to gain new skills to get back to work. The Pay-for-Success Act is the type of model that promotes innovation by rewarding results and penalizing complacency. This common-sense reform ensures that job training programs are more responsive to the needs of employers and are preparing more workers for a 21st-century economy. Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.
Things may drift away — but not the Drifters “When the night has come, and the land is dark, and the moon is the only light we’ll see.” Who knows where I was? I might have been in a red Rambler convertible, driving to nowhere really, maybe to drive past Ruth Clinton’s house. I did that a lot. I don’t know why, or what I was expecting to see. Maybe I was expecting to see her silhouette in an upstairs bedroom. I would have been listening to the car radio when I heard the song, and it might have made an impression. New music was pouring into my head all the time. It’s an amazing thing when you find out about something, and can’t get enough of it. We didn’t have many choices. We had radio. We had LPs. We had singles. That’s it. Some of those songs were great. I really can’t explain. If you are 13 or 14, you are lucky to have so many options now. A few of the songs came along and moved into my thoughts, and they are still there. I had a weekend thesis show in 1973, and I played the same two albums over and over on a record player that was at one end of the
gallery. I asked my father to send me the Big Bands collection that I had given to him for Christmas. He did. And I played something else. I had a double album. It was “The Drifters’ Greatest Hits.” It’s wet. It’s pouring rain. It’s July 2014, and it never pours rain and cools off like this in July. I am listening to the Drifters. The art show was in 1973 and I was a useless plot of something. Now it’s 41 years later, and I think I finally know what is going on. It’s not all good, is it? Girls are screaming for the wrong reasons these days. New Direction and 5 Seconds
of Summer are nothing to scream about. I know it’s tempting. Cute boys with guitars. Look elsewhere, soon. It’s marketing rubbish. My Boys of Summer were different. By the time I met the Drifters, they were no longer boys, but, man, they came in the front door. In 1952, they signed to be a backing group for Clyde McPhatter. Then things got crazy. There have been 60 different members of the Drifters, so their discography gets muddy. Ben E. King was the lead singer when they were at their best. If none of this makes any sense, think about “Stand By Me,” the film. That’s Ben E. King singing the title song. The Drifters had lots of hits. “I Count the Tears,” “This Magic Moment,” “Save the Last Dance For Me,” “There Goes My Baby” and “When My Little Girl Is Smiling.” They recorded some hits that weren’t hits with me, like “Under the Boardwalk,” and “Up On the Roof.” Oldies stations play those songs, and never, ever, play “When My Little Girl Is Smil-
ing.” “Stand By Me” was recorded on my birthday, Oct. 27, 1960. I was 13. I didn’t know what that meant: Stand by me. I do now. I went off the tracks. I have some friends who are still standing by me. I hope someone is still standing by you — through thick and thin. Are the songs as good as I think they are, or have my memories gotten in the way? “I won’t be afraid, as long as you stand by me.” I have been in a few dark corners. There have been clouds. I have spent some time with law enforcement. I have lost it, and lost my way. On a humid night in Ohio I pushed a small red car to no meaningful reason, and heard a song that I can still hear. “I won’t shed a tear, as long as you stand by me.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

ALL THE COMFORTS OF HOME – AND THEN SOME
Lovers of the horse, as well as horsepower, gathered the evening of Aug. 8 at Centennial Airport to rein in hope — and funds — for the SaddleUp! Foundation, an Elizabeth-based organization that provides equine-assisted therapy to special needs individuals, their families and caregivers. Approximately 400 guests attended the annual charity event held inside the AeroColorado hangar and, within four hours, raised more than $300,000. The luxury travel-themed Denver Suitcase Party is a dinner auction where guests come dressed and packed for the chance to win an all-expense paid trip, via private jet, to Napa Valley, Calif. Former Denver Bronco Reggie Rivers served as celebrity auctioneer, along with special guest, Cherry Hills Village mayor, Doug Tisdale.

Take a bite (or 12) out of Douglas County at the 12th annual Taste of Douglas County, where local restaurateurs will show off fine fare from 5 to 8 p.m. Aug. 21 at the Douglas County Events Center. “Twelve years ago I realized that Douglas County had a fine selection of restaurants and decided to put on an event that would highlight many of those places to area residents,” said Mike Boyle, host of the Restaurant Show on Newstalk KNUS 710 AM radio and Comcast Channel 8. “This will give people an inexpensive evening out while enjoying wonderful cuisine from many area restaurants and food service establishments.” Restaurants and other dining establishments will offer selections from appetizers to main courses to desserts. Tickets are $10 in advance or $20 at the door. Kids four years old and under are free. The admission ticket includes food from each of these various establishments and free parking. Restaurants participating include Old Stone Church, Pegasus on the Square, Outback Steakhouse, Old Chicago, Rockyard American Grill & Brewery, Crave Real Burgers, Fowl Line Sports Grill, Stumpy’s Pizza, and many more. There will be beverages from Lost Coffee, Sugarland Sodas, Keva Juice smoothies and more. Additional information is available at www.tasteofdouglascounty.com or by calling Boyle at 303-903-0017.
A lot of people don’t know the history of Scotland, said Aidan Riehm, 14, but attendees of the 51st annual Colorado Scottish Festival in Highlands Ranch had plenty of opportunities to learn about it. Riehm and the rest of the Wolves, a subgroup of the Renaissance Scots, portrayed Scotland in the 1740s, which was before the Battle of Culloden, he said. “We portray Scotland, so we don’t like to show how we were beat,” Riehm said. At the Aug. 9-10 festival at Highland Heritage Regional Park, the Wolves were challenging people to sword fight in a style of fighting called Butcher of Cumberland, one that came out of the Battle of Culloden. Although the swords that participants and the Wolves used at the festival were wooden, Riehm said he has gone through about four to five years of training to use an actual sword that would have been used in that time period. Members of the Association of Living History were representing five different wartime periods, from the War of 1812 through the Vietnam War. There were many Scottish units in the British army, said John Steinle, who was representing the Maryland Militia from the War of 1812. “The Germans called them ‘the ladies from Hell,’ ” Steinle said, “because they wore kilts.”
Twelve, the Ballpark neighborhood restaurant that much-lauded chef-owner Jeff Osaka opened in November 2008, will serve its last supper on Aug. 23 in the 2233 Larimer location. Osaka said he plans to reopen in a new space that allows more seating than the tiny eatery now accommodates. “I opened Twelve on the same day that Barack Obama was elected president of the United States, and I’m closing Twelve on my 50th birthday, so I guess you could say that I’m a man who marks milestones,” said Osaka, whose own mark on the Denver dining scene has resulted in a swell of accolades, including a 2014 James Beard semifinalist nomination for Best Chef Southwest. Osaka, who opened Twelve when the Ballpark area was still in its infancy, rose to culinary prominence with his seasonally intensive, peak-produce menus that changed on the first day of each month, an endeavor that resulted in 70 menus and more than 1,000 different dishes. For reservations through Aug. 23, call 303-293-0287 or go to opentable.com. After Twelve closes, the space will become Butcher’s Bistro, a retail butcher shop and restaurant helmed by Scott Bauer, the regional manager of Snooze, and Tyson Holzheimer, the regional chef at Snooze. Butcher’s Bistro plans to open in October, serving lunch, happy hour and dinner from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.

Local law enforcement reaches out in community National Night Out is chance for connection By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com
Douglas County law enforcement and emergency personnel were the life of the party Aug. 5 during the annual National Night Out event. “The purpose (of the event) is to build a relationship with the community,” said Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputy Chad Teller. “To get the kids and neighbors out, and see what’s going on.” The event also strives to teach crime prevention to the community, and to ensure that residents know there is a presence of law enforcement in their area, Teller said. Neighborhood watch groups pre-registered with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office to host block parties, and local officials stopped by to meet and greet citizens for
about 15 to 20 minutes at 23 different block parties. The majority of the block parties were hosted in Highlands Ranch, but there were also parties held in Roxborough, Parker and Castle Rock. Teller estimated that about 300 to 400 county residents visited with officials during this year’s National Night Out. Roughly 70 Douglas County law enforcement personnel volunteered to join the effort, and neighborhood block parties received visits from sheriff’s deputies, community safety volunteers, the Douglas County mounted patrol unit, Highlands Ranch Metro District rangers, Douglas County Law Enforcement Explorers, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office dispatchers, the hazmat team, SWAT team, K9 unit, McGruff the Crime Dog, Sheriff Tony Spurlock, District Attorney George Brauchler and fire crews. In the block party setting, people are less intimidated about talking to law enforcement, Teller said. “(And) we want to build that trust,” he added.

One, two, three pitchers ‘you’re out’ Private pitching instructors a key to success of area aces By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Any team with starting senior pitchers like Ally Power, Savannah Heebner and Janelle Gardner would definitely be considered favorites to win the state championship. Any team with just one of those pitchers would have a good chance of being very successful. Pitching, obviously, is vital to the success of any high school girls softball team. “The bottom line is pitching in softball is the most important position in the game,” said Dave Atencio who will be coaching for his 21st season and second at Valor Christian. “It doesn’t matter if you have great hitters, if you have top level pitching, nine times out of 10 that is going to win you championships.” Ponderosa, Castle View and Legend will all celebrate top-level pitching this season. Power, the reigning Colorado Community Media South Metro Pitcher of the Year and the Colorado Gatorade Player of the Year of a year ago, helped Ponderosa advance to the Class 4A state semifinals last fall. She won 17 games, had a 0.78 earned run average and struck out 277 batters in 152 innings pitched. Power also led the team with a .442 batting average. Heebner is the ace for Castle View, win-
ning 11 games with a 1.55 ERA and tossing 204 strikeouts in 122 innings. She was also the Sabercats leading hitter at .478. Gardner pitched every game for Legend and helped the Titans reach the Class 5A state title game. She won 13 games with a 1.48 ERA and fanned 78 batters in 108.2 innings. “Power, Heebner and Janelle are three of the top pitchers in the state,” boasted Legend coach Shelly Boyd. There are other pitchers on teams from south metro schools that could help their teams have triumphant seasons, too. Atencio has three quality young hurlers in junior Alexandra Kinder, sophomore Abby Zuschlag and freshman Ali Kiltonan. Seniors Sam Hardy of Douglas County and Hannah Hatten of ThunderRidge are back and Arapahoe’s Allie Hanson returns after missing last season with a knee injury. Heritage junior Carly Carlsen won nine games a year ago. “There’s no way you can really argue that pitching isn’t the most important (aspect of the game),” argued Ponderosa coach Toby Tabola. “Our team is a perfect example of that. On the other hand we had arguably the best pitcher in the state and we didn’t win the state championship. “You have to have a team that can play defense and put runs up or it doesn’t matter how good your pitching is but obviously the team’s success is going to center around the strength of their pitching. If you have a team that hits and plays good defense without good pitching you stand a chance to be
successful but if I had to go one way or the other, I’d take the pitching. There’s no doubt that pitching is going to be what makes or breaks you.” One ace pitcher can pitch almost every game in a high school season. The natural arm movement of pitching softball averts injuries. Plus, the high school schedule of three games a week as opposed to the summer club slates with sometimes four or five games during a weekend allows the high school pitcher to be able to throw each game. “The big thing is you can run with one pitcher,” said Atencio. “Many state championship teams had just one pitcher. To me if you have what I always call the horse, you can ride that horse to the state championship.” The time between games during the regular season allows one pitcher to throw most of the innings. Regional and state tournament games might require a pitcher to enter the circle twice during a day. Boyd has a hard time to ever pull Gardner out of a game and Power and Heebner rarely worry about getting fatigued. “There’s really never been a point where I’ve gotten tired,” said Gardner. “I just train for it. It depends on the situation. If it’s going good I don’t want to be pulled. It’s just how I am. But, if it’s a bad situation, yeah pull me.” Heebner also says pitching changes are usually dictated by the situation. “Sometimes you are tired but you won’t hurt your arm,” she said. “It usually depends on how we are doing. If we are winning and
I’m tired, I will usually stay in. If we are losing and I’m tired and they are hitting off of me, then we’ll probably switch out the pitchers.” Power relies on endurance. “It’s all about endurance and I build it through practice,” she said. “I make sure I don’t get tired, especially if I do have to throw two games. When I do get tired I just keep pushing myself and drink water to keep hydrated. I don’t get out of control but I do loose a little momentum. I make sure I pick it up when I am looking tired.” Most quality high school pitchers, such as Heebner, have private pitching coaches and arrive at high schools with most of their pitches developed through long hours of pitching on club teams in the summer. Power and Gardner also developed and refined pitches with private tutors and during club competition during the summer. “We’ve taught Ally to be a smarter pitcher, knowing when to throw certain pitches, what location to throw certain pitches so our coaching comes to play with that but the actually development of her pitches was done before we got her,” admitted Tabola. “Her pitches were already there. We don’t develop the pitcher, we develop the strategy and how to be a good pitcher.” Power acknowledges she has a better knowledge of how to pitch. “I slowly learned each pitch as I grew up,” she said. “I would learn the fast ball and get it down before I was able to move on. In four years of high school, I have grown a lot on situations on what to throw and when to throw it. I have learned a lot.”

Keeping the focus on the short game As long games get bigger, it’s the chips and putts that make the difference By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com There are numerous examples of talented high school golfers coming up short of expectations. And, many times that’s because of their lack of focus on their short game, which is vital to the scores scribbled on the scorecard. Boys are hitting longer, thanks in part to better equipment and golf balls, so the long game is strong. However, the short game can’t be ignored. Approach shots, chips and putts are also critical to have scores good enough to be posted on the leaderboard. “Most young players discount the value of the short game,” said ThunderRidge coach Jim McCord. “They love to hit the range and pound the ball. However, the best golfers have a strong short game.” Highlands Ranch coach James Barker lectures to his players about the importance of
the short game. “I hammer them on it,” explained Barker. “The bad thing is our season is so short. I only get to force them to work on their short games properly for two months. Even the best players on the planet miss about 25 percent of their greens. The best golfers on the planet hit 13 or 14 greens a round. So they are having to get up and down four or five times a round. “Our kids are missing seven or eight greens a round and getting up and down maybe a third of the time. If we get smarter and pick a high percentage shot around the green, maybe we can save a couple shots a round.” Barker’s team spends an hour putting during practice sessions, another hour chipping, pitching and hitting bunker shots before hitting some balls. “Boys just want to hit balls,” added Barker. “They don’t understand their score is attached to putting and chipping and hitting bunker shots. You can hit a bad drive and still make a birdie. You can miss a green and still make a par. But if you mess up a chip or bunker shot or a putt, those scores go on your scorecard. There’s no recovering from a messed up short

Cross Country Continued from Page 20
“It’s so much fun because you are out with your team. It’s great for team building. You get to know the underclassmen. You establish that sense of `we’re a team.’’’ Smith admits he got to know Golden Eagles cross country runners that he probably would not have acknowledged if he had not gone on the camping trip. “On the ride up a couple freshmen girls were in my car and I really got to learn a lot about them,” he said. “One had just moved from Arizona and another went to an academy. There’s no way I probably would have known as much especially about these particular girls if I had never gone on the camping trip. I had two hours in a car with freshmen. During a practice you don’t really talk to them.” Dalby claims his team’s summer mountain adventures get his runners ready for the season. “One of the reasons we take the trip is to get all the kids to bond in a different atmosphere where they get away from home and they are spending 48 hours together,” he said. “By the time they leave the trip, they know each other a little better, especially with the new kids. “They get to know each other outside of every day when we’re going for a run. It’s not just about running, it’s about being a team. The stuff in the summer helps focus that everybody’s contribution on the team matters not just the handful of varsity kids.”
Castle View coach Mark Kuhn was also seeking team bonding as 28 runners attended a five-day high altitude camp in Leadville. The Sabercats stayed in the dorms at Colorado Mountain College, listened to motivational speakers, were instructed on cross country strategy, ran two-mile trails, climbed a 14er and finished with either a six-mile or 12½-mile run around Turquoise Lake depending on ability. “Even if we didn’t get any running in at all, it was for them connecting and getting together before the season starts,” said Kuhn. “I try to get some young kids up there and we have some classes for beginning strategy for cross country running. “There are lot of the runners coming out of middle school programs and high school that have no idea how to look at a course, run a course for a faster time without actually analyzing the course other than just going, warming up and running. The older kids had a leadership type class.” The top runner on Castle View’s girls team, Savanna Dalton, said she had fun staying 10,000-feet above sea level. “I got to know one of my best friend’s younger sisters,” said Dalton. “She was really fun to hang out with. I got to know some of the freshmen. It was fun. It was harder to run because of the higher elevation but it was good that it was harder. It will help us.” Chaparral had previously went to Leadville but decided to venture this summer to Golden Gate State Park. “It was pretty awesome,” said Chaparral’s Dom Compoz, who was eighth in last year’s Class 5A State Meet. “We all got to hang out and got to know each other better. We won’t run on anything as difficult during the season. It’s a lot easier on the trails during the season versus during training.”

shot or putt.” Arapahoe coach Harry Buckner claims putting is part of the game that can’t be overemphasized. “Half your strokes in a round are made with your putter,” he said. “That’s how important your short game is. If you have 36 putts and 36 shots with other clubs and that’s par 72. More than half your shots are from 100 yards in. There’s an old adage in golf that you drive for show and putt for dough.” Jason Preeo, coach of defending Class 4A state champion Valor Christian, stresses the value of the short game. “The biggest thing that separates players are chips and putts when they miss the green,” said Preeo.
Sophomore leads Falcons to win
Kyle Pearson of Highlands Ranch was a medalist at the Continental League golf tournament held Aug. 7 at South Suburban Golf Course. Pearson, a sophomore, fired a 2-under-par 70 to help the Falcons capture first place with a 303 total, one shot lower than five-time defending state champion Regis Jesuit.

And with that comes an emphasis on group events as well as education. SkyVenture opened in 2006. The iFLY chain, which has facilities around the world, purchased the facility in late July. The female USA Cycling team, capping off a week-long camp at Colorado Springs’ Olympic Training Center, used the experience as a team builder. Gibbons hopes to see many more groups do the same. “We have law firms that will come down and have a teambuilding event, and groups that do a sales get-together,” he said. “Because this is exciting and different, it’s a great way to get people pumped up. It’s almost like you lose yourself in the moment. We find it opens people up, even those that are kind of shy.” Group, education and multiple flights all are available at discounted rates from the standard, one-time, per-person flight rate of $59.95. The iFLY chain also offers a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)-oriented education class it’s bringing to Lone Tree. STEM educators teach the 3- to 4-hour classes, which involve the use of different-sized balls to demonstrate the physics of a wind tunnel. Students also are invited to fly. The class is offered at discounted rates. “We’ve done this in other markets, where they have 100 schools a year participate,” Gibbons said. “We don’t make as much revenue (as on regular fare customers), but it’s not about that. It’s about educating children and having the opportunity to bring them down and give them the experience. This is a great way for us to give back to the schools in Denver and Colorado.” The new owners want people to consider indoor skydiving not just as a one-time experience, but a regular past time. “We’ve really kind of moved into a different era,” Gibbons said. “We’re trying to create an experience where we want everyone to fly, not just in Denver, but the whole world. “We want to build it on a different level. We want this to be a sport, for people to pick this up and really excel at it.” Many people use the indoor skydiving as training for high-altitude skydiving. But Gibbons said that isn’t the necessary goal for iFLY visitors. “If people want to sky dive, we see it as being a great tool,” he said. “We’ve set it up where they are in a great position to control their body and have more fun, be more confident. “But a lot of people have a fear of heights and the real sky diving can be very expensive. We want everyone to experience human flight.” iFLY also offers indoor skydiving to people with disabilities. Gibbons suggests calling ahead to discuss individual disabilities so they can determine if a flight is feasible. Call 303-768-9000 or visit www.denver.iflyworld.com for information. iFly is located at 9230 Park Meadows Drive in Lone Tree.

I-25 on-ramp is going to be removed and abolished completely.” CDOT will construct a 10-foot-wide, multi-use trail from Lincoln Avenue north on the east side of San Luis’ current alignment. No businesses have direct access to San Luis on the portion that is set for demolition. “The frontage road is more of a back road to here, so I don’t think it’s going to affect us much,” Hacienda Colorado host Nicole Vargo said, adding most people use Meridian Boulevard to reach the restaurant. “We are always very busy. I don’t think anyone will let a closed road keep them from their Mexican food.” The Candlewood Suites hotel also backs to the soonto-close portion of San Luis. “I don’t foresee it being much of a problem,” general manager David Halverson said. Grebenik said it may inconvenience some employees at CH2M Hill; its world headquarters are on Jamaica Street east of I-25. But he said no one has voiced significant objection. “Some people may have to drive a few more seconds or half minute than they normally would have,” he said. “We worked through a pretty significant right-of-way process. All those business on San Luis are on board. I think everyone understands the need for the project so much, they’ve all been agreeable.” The $35 million lane-balancing project, which will add a lane to I-25 in both directions between Lincoln Avenue and County Line Road, is set for completion in December 2016. Grebenik said closing San Luis will be among the first phases of construction, and likely will occur in mid- to late September.

A civil engineer, mother of two and resident of Lone Tree since 2001, Millet has risen quickly through the board’s ranks. “I think with my background as an engineer, I was able to hit the ground running a little bit on some of the issues,” she said, while noting that term limits have contributed to turnover within the group.
