County’s jobless rate hits 6-year low Douglas employment gains rank third nationally in 2013 By Ryan Boldrey “The Seed” is the base piece of the five-element work John King created for Kaiser Permanente’s Lone Tree medical office building. Photos by Jane Reuter
Art out of adversity Sculptures installed at Kaiser a metaphor for survival By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lyons artist John King and his wife Sally were celebrating the completion of his massive Lone Tree work, “Tree of Life,” last September as floodwaters rose outside their home and art studio. Hours later, the studio was destroyed, the couple’s home badly damaged and their community was devastated. All that remained of the “Tree of Life” was the brilliantly colored seed pod, “The Seed,” the base piece of the five-element work King created for Kaiser Permanente’s Lone Tree medical office building. “We walked back in the next day and I saw it,” King said. “Here’s this seed pod, standing upright in the water. It was really uplifting, very emotional. The metaphor became literal.” King’s work includes five interactive pieces, each representing a phase of life and nature. The 80-foot-tall complete work was designed to fill the glass, five-level staircase of Kaiser’s Park Meadows Drive building. Only “The Seed” was installed for the building’s December grand opening. The remainder of the rebuilt work was unveiled during a special June 23 ceremony. “The Seed” sculpture standing outside the Kings’ Apple Valley home became a symbol of hope and inspiration for the community of Lyons. As the Kings began the restoration of their home, rebuilding of the studio and started anew on the four lost elements of “Tree of Life,” the seed pod was visible to passers-by. Lyons still is rebuilding in the wake of floods that affected 2,000 square miles in northern Colorado between Sept. 11 and 15, 2013. In Lyons, located at the confluence of
two creeks, lives, businesses and homes were lost. The Kings don’t view the floods’ impact with bitterness; they consider living next to a moving body of water a choice, a privilege and a risk. Even as the creek swelled Sept. 11 to devastating levels, the Kings saw the amazing beauty in the moment. Just before they evacuated the area, the couple sat in their car and witnessed a large cottonwood careening toward the bridge that connects their home to the artist’s studio. “We were there looking at it in the headlights; a cottonwood tree snapped it in half,” King remembered. “We love rivers. We go on vacations and go down rivers in a boat. This little creek became as big as the Grand Canyon. It was fantastic. “We’re over the shock at this point. What hasn’t left us is the beauty.” He hopes the beauty of nature, represented in “Tree of Life,” also inspires those who come to the Kaiser building. “There’s a lot of adversity that comes through the doors here,” King said. “Everyone has their story and challenge. This is one of many.” Each piece of “Tree of Life,” which includes the seed pod sculpture, a set of six leaves, trees, a work of overlapping circles and the flower, is designed to be touched and to move independently. It’s intended not only to provide aesthetic value, but as a health incentive that encourages people to use the stairs. Kaiser Permanente officials would not say how much the piece, or the other numerous works of art included in the Lone Tree building, cost the company.
rboldrey @coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County’s employment numbers continue to draw closer to prerecession levels at a quicker pace than others, something that can be directly attributed to a fresh mindset, says county Commissioner Jill Repella. When the Great Recession hit “we really intentionally put forth efforts to make sure that we were listening to the business community, understanding their concerns, streamlining our Repella regulatory process, shortening our permit process and really supporting their efforts in getting their businesses open,” she said. The result has been company after company moving into Douglas County, which has helped to bring the unemployment rate down to 4.4 percent, the lowest it has been since it was 4.3 in October 2008, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. During the Great Recession, it got as high as 7.6, up from a pre-recession low of 2.7 in April 2007. But along with changing how the county conducted business, and partnering more effectively with local municipalities, Douglas County wasn’t affected as much as other areas and things just continue to get better, Repella said. A report from the bureau released June 19, showed that the county’s employment gains were up 5.2 percent from the end of 2012 to the end of 2013. The data placed the county in a tie with California’s Sonoma County for the third greatest gains over that timeframe nationwide, trailing only Lee County in Florida (5.5 percent) and nearby Weld County (6 percent). Weld and Douglas were the only Colorado counties in the top 10, and while Jobless continues on Page 9

schweiger Ranch work continues Grant enables foundation to rebuild corrals, add signage and other upgrades By Jane Reuter
jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Schweiger Ranch will move another step back in time toward its historic working ranch appearance with the help of a nearly $200,000 state grant. The work that begins this month will repair and finish corrals around the barn, stable and a shed, renovate a chicken coop, add electricity and interpretive signage. Construction is set for completion in September, in time for October’s annual Schweiger Ranch Fall Festival. “This last grant we’re getting form the state will, for the most part, complete the infrastructure piece,” Schweiger Ranch Foundation president Darryl Jones said. “Now, it’s about bringing it to life.” Though those plans aren’t yet finalized, the foundation’s vision for the future includes a petting zoo, living bee exhibit, chickens, demonstrations of ranch activities and a community garden. “Eventually, we’d like to get to that kind of place, where it’s more of a living history museum as opposed to something that’s more static and not active,” Jones said. He pointed to Lowell Ranch, which is south of Castle Rock, the Littleton Mu-
seum and Denver’s Four Mile Historic Park as places he hopes Schweiger Ranch someday will resemble. “Lowell Ranch is a great example,” Jones said. “They have a ranch with community gardens, animal exhibits, and they offer regular activities out there. That’s a model we’re following.” To make that happen, however, the foundation needs more money. Jones pitched that idea to the Lone Tree City Council during its June 17 meeting. Donations raised through a capital campaign would help pay for the bee exhibit, expansion of the apple orchard and picnic benches, among other items. City leaders said they’ll consider a contribution as part of the upcoming budget. Originally known as the Happy Canyon Ranch, Austrian emigrants John, Joseph, and Jacob Schweiger established the acreage in 1874. They were among the earliest settlers in the area. John later married Anna, the daughter of a neighboring rancher, and the two raised seven children in the white ranch house. Some members of the family lived in the house until the 1950s. RidgeGate Investments bought the property in 1972, and chose to preserve the 38-acre property as a historic landmark instead of developing it into home sites or commercial property. “Eventually, our future development plan allows houses around the ranch, but nothing will be built on the (38-acre) ranch itself,” Jones said. “The homes will

Victim’s parents sue school district, leaders Filing alleges reports about sex criminal were ignored By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The parents of a sexual assault victim filed a lawsuit June 16 against the Douglas County School District, former Rocky Heights Middle School principal Patricia Dierberger and former RHMS assistant principal James McMurphy. The federal suit alleges Dierberger, McMurphy and “at least one other high-ranking DCSD administrator” ignored reports of predatory behavior toward the victim by former RHMS math teacher Richard Johnson, who is now serving a 20-year sentence for two counts of sexual exploitation of a child after agreeing to a plea deal last fall. The reports to DCSD allegedly predated the start of the sexual relationship between Johnson and the then-13-year-old victim, now a student at Rock Canyon High School. The suit alleges Dierberger, McMurphy and others did not follow mandatory reporting obligations outlined by the state, and failed to protect the victim. The “high-ranking DCSD administrator” is not specifically identified in the court filing. “Without notifying the appropriate law enforcement authorities and human resource officials and without any investigation, Principal Dierberger and Assistant Principal McMurphy ordered that the two African-American middle school students who initially reported Mr. Johnson’s alleged
sexual misconduct instead be punished with suspensions,” the court filing reads. It states parents and students reported “disturbing interactions” between the then eighth-grade student and Johnson “on several occasions during the 2010-11 academic year and the following summer.” When the two students’ initial reports were received in April 2011, the suit says, “Mr. Johnson had not yet sexually assaulted (the victim) for the first time, but was still in the process of grooming her for his sexual purposes.” Johnson allegedly first assaulted the student in June 2011. Dierberger and McMurphy no longer work at RHMS. McMurphy still works for the Johnson school district as principal of Ranch View Middle School. Both Rocky Heights and Ranch View middle schools are in Highlands Ranch. Johnson, of Centennial, left the school district in March 2012 after serving as both an eighth-grade teacher at Rocky Heights Middle and McMurphy as a basketball coach at Rock Canyon High. He was arrested in connection with the sexual assaults in November 2012, after the victim and her parents reported him to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. He was sentenced in November 2013. “The district denies the material allegations of the complaint,” DCSD spokeswoman Paula Hans wrote in an e-mailed response to
Colorado Community Media. “Safety is our top priority in the Douglas County School District. Neither law enforcement nor prosecutors ever charged any district employee associated with this matter with failing to report child abuse when he or she had a reasonable basis to believe that such abuse was occurring. ... There is an appropriate forum for resolving these matters, and the district looks forward to addressing the allegations in that forum.” The filing describes “specific, detailed and repeated reports” given to Dierberger, McMurphy and at least one other administrator, “including pleas by some parents to investigate Mr. Johnson’s behavior with (the victim).” It says Dierberger and McMurphy later admitted to a Douglas County sheriff’s detective that they did not conduct any investigation, despite the repeated reports and widespread rumors. The suit further states that McMurphy later told a sheriff’s investigator “he questioned whether he could keep his employment with DCSD.” However, it says, “DCSD did not discipline assistant principal McMurphy, but instead allowed him to continue to serve as principal of Ranch View Middle School.” The suit also alleges that prior to August 2012, DCSD failed to instruct and train its employees in the proper way to handle reports of sexual misconduct. As a result, it says, “DCSD created and fostered an environment that allowed Mr. Johnson to perpetrate and continue his repeated sexual abuse and sexual assaults …” The filing said Johnson sexually assaulted
the victim dozens of times, “manipulated her by alienating her from religion, friends and family, sending her constant text messages, trying to control her schedule and demanding to know her whereabouts at all times, plying her with alcohol on several occasions and at least once physically abusing her by striking her.” Johnson allegedly also was “grooming additional, intended victims for his sexual purposes, including other DCSD students.” Johnson reportedly was fired in March 2012 after he was videotaped permitting a group of students to throw other students into the air and crash to the ground, “causing injury to one student and risking serious injury to others,” the filing reads. After he was fired, DCSD still did nothing to initiate an investigation, while Johnson reportedly continued to assault the victim during the summer of 2012. She reported Johnson to her parents in fall 2012, and the family went to the sheriff’s office, which initiated an investigation. The complaint accuses DCSD of being “deliberately indifferent” through the inaction of its “various, high-ranking DCSD administrators” who were made aware of the problems. The victim has suffered “severe emotional distress” that continues to impact her life, according to the filing. The parents are seeking punitive damages and asking that the district institute a comprehensive training policy on reporting procedures, ensuring all DSCD employees complete the annual training, adopt a zerotolerance policy for failure to report such incidents and enact an annual review of DCSD’s compliance by the sheriff’s office.

School board rescinds letter backing power line Member’s job with Xcel led to suggestions of conflict By Chris Michlewicz and Jane Reuter Staff writers
The Douglas County School Board has voted to rescind a letter of support for a controversial plan to build an Xcel Energy transmission line through Parker. The board voted 4-2 during its June 17 meeting to rescind the letter to the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, nearly six weeks after the letter was sent without some board members being aware that their names were attached. The letter pledged strong support for the Pawnee-Daniels Park line, a proposed 345-kilovolt transmission line from the Brush, Colo., area to a substation in Daniels Park, just north of Castle Pines. Opponents from several impacted neighborhoods have launched organized campaigns against the Pawnee-Daniels Park line, citing concerns over exposure to high electromagnetic fields, blocked views and excessive noise. When they found out that school board vice president Doug Benevento works for Xcel Energy as vice president of public affairs, they sent letters and attended meetings to protest what they deem a conflict of interest.

“Perhaps the thing that bothers me most is the fact that the letter the board president sent to the PUC uses wording and logic very similar to that used by Xcel in its corporate materials on the project, as if Xcel had written ghost-written the letter,” said Michael Roueche, president of the Rowley Downs Homeowners’ Association and co-founder of the “Halt The Power Lines” opposition group. During the June 17 meeting, school board president Kevin Larsen said he mistakenly believed the letter of support had been included in the consent agenda during a May meeting and approved by the board. He explained that he confused it with a separate proposal from Intermountain Rural Electric Association to bury power lines near Pine Lane Elementary. Larsen, however, reiterated his support for the Xcel project, as did board member Craig Richardson. Benevento did not attend the June 17 meeting or the May 6 meeting when Larsen said he thought the letter was approved. In an emailed statement, Benevento said he had no knowledge of the letter being sent. “Since the day I was elected, I have recused myself from any matters associated with Xcel Energy,” he said. “This situation is no different. “As clearly demonstrated at Tuesday’s board meeting, I had no advance notice, nor participated in, any discussion or decision related to the proposed power line. The board president acted independent of me and the rest of the board.” DCSD board member Meghann Silverthorn, who voted to rescind the letter to the utilities commission, responded via email to concerns from a constituent by promising to ask Larsen to “address the reasoning” behind the endorsement. “Although the letter was written in the first-person plural, I was not aware of it until three days after it was dated and, presumably, sent,” she said in the email. Board member Jim Geddes, who also voted to withdraw the school district’s support for the transmission
Arbitrator backs teachers’ union on sick leave School district did not participate in proceedings By Jane Reuter jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com An arbitrator has decided in favor of the Douglas County teachers’ union in a lawsuit about the teachers’ sick-leave bank filed against the Douglas County School District. The arbitrator’s decision is non-binding, and DCSD officials did not participate in the proceedings that led to arbitrator John Criswell’s final report. DCSD officials called the arbitrator’s report an “improperly obtained opinion,” and said the district continues to seek a fair resolution to the issue. The complaint surrounded DCSD’s alleged refusal to allow employees to use the sick-leave bank after the district’s collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the teachers’ union expired in 2012.

line, said discussions between Xcel and the district were the right course of action, but said the focus should be limited. “Once we’ve established the lines will not go close to a future school that is going to need to be built, then we’re out of it,” he said. “I say we step out of it now.” Larsen said he did not see any controversy and contended that “there was no intent to bypass any input from the other board members.” He said the letter was prepared for him, after which he reviewed it and agreed with its content. Larsen did not say who wrote the letter. Curt Dale, a resident of Rowley Downs, said he still doesn’t understand why the school board “stepped so far afield to endorse this project.” While supporting the economic reasons, Larsen said during the meeting that the district had safety concerns about the proximity of high-voltage structures to potential school sites, as well as impacts to the value of the land. Roueche responded by asking about the difference between children in neighborhoods near the lines and children in schools. Those living near the transmission line corridor, where a 230-kV transmission line already exists, have pleaded with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission to hear the concerns of citizens. They welcomed news in late May that an administrative law judge from the commission agreed to take public comment from 4-7 p.m. July 23 at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., in Parker. Mark Stutz, a spokesman for the Xcel Energy, said the transmission line is “essential” to maintaining the integrity of the power grid in the south metro region, especially with continued population growth. He said the energy provider has been planning the Pawnee-Daniels Park line since buying the utility easement in the late 1960s. Xcel has scheduled several public meetings in an attempt to defuse fears and dispel rumors.

“The district’s refusal to allow the employees, who previously earned sick leave, to use that accumulated sick leave or to use the sick-leave bank, was a violation of the employees’ property rights they had earned by virtue of their previous work,” Criswell wrote in his April 30, 2014 report. The teachers’ union filed the lawsuit in Douglas County District Court in February 2013. Three teachers named as plaintiffs in the suit claimed harm from the loss of the sickleave bank. DCSD filed motions to dismiss the case in April 2013, saying the union lacked standing in its claims and had “failed to exhaust administrative remedies” included in the expired CBA. Using an arbitrator to resolve such issues is part of the process outlined under the CBA. The district court ordered those procedures followed. Criswell, who served 13 years as a Colorado Court of Appeals judge, described the arbitration process as “somewhat unique,” because DCSD “refused to participate either in the selection of the arbitrator or any of the proceedings ...” Criswell said he provided DCSD full notice of all steps, and proceeded on an ex-parte basis to resolve the issues. His report recommends, among other things, that the district recognize as valid all sick leave accumulated by all employees who were subject to the expired agreement’s terms and that it reimburse the three plaintiffs their fair share. In an emailed statement attributed to school board president Kevin Larsen, DCSD said the union’s lawsuit reflected its unhappiness “with the demise of its lucrative contract.” The statement also said the sick-leave bank was “fiscally irresponsible,” unfunded and came with unlimited liability, and that DCSD replaced it with a much-improved, fully funded, short-term disability plan. “Rather than work toward a sensible resolution of its lawsuit, the union unilaterally pursued an impermissible and unilateral arbitration process,” Larsen’s statement continues, adding that DCSD offered reasonable alternatives the union rejected. “It is, therefore, not surprising that this improperly obtained opinion, fully bought and paid for by the union and involving only the union’s participation, reflects precisely the union’s desired outcome,” the statement reads. “The district gives the union’s purchased opinion the weight it deserves. “We will continue to look to a fair, impartial, objective, and lawful process for speedy resolution of the union’s baseless lawsuit against the district.” Union president Courtney Smith said the district’s failure to so far comply with the ruling is not surprising. “It is disappointing that once again DCSD has chosen to ignore a legal decision — in this case an arbitrator’s ruling,” she said. “However we are committed to seeing this lawsuit through to benefit the employees of DCSD.” Smith said the lawsuit was stayed pending the arbitration process, but will resume if the district fails to comply with the arbitrator’s ruling. Along with the sick-leave bank complaint, the DCF filed a second lawsuit against DCSD alleging unfair hiring practices. That case has not been resolved.

Spurlock, Weaver, Romann get GOP nods County primary saw contested races for sheriff, commissioner and coroner Staff report Three elected offices featured contested races at the Republican primary level in Douglas County. The lone Democrat seeking a county office — surveyor candidate William Buntrock — did not have primary opposition June 24. With all votes counted, the following are results reported by the county in the contested GOP races:
Douglas County sheriff Undersheriff Tony Spurlock will be the Republican nominee for Douglas County sheriff after defeating writein candidate John Anderson with an overwhelming majority of the vote. Spurlock, who garnered 85 percent of the vote, is a Colorado native and 17-year resident of Douglas County. He began his career at the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office in 1980. Spurlock has served as undersheriff for the last eight years, leading a staff of more than 460 and overseeing all areas of operations and administration on behalf of current Sheriff David Weaver, Spurlock who is seeking to become a county commissioner. Prior to his appointment as undersheriff, Spurlock commanded all major areas of the sheriff’s office, including the investigation, detention and patrol divisions. Spurlock has also served as Douglas County’s SWAT commander and as leader of the 18th Judicial District’s Critical Response Team. Anderson, a commander with the Castle Rock Police Department, has been a police officer for more than 36
years. Anderson also ran for the sheriff’s office in 2006 against Weaver, whose second term expires later this year. Spurlock will face Libertarian Brock McCoy in the November general election. No Democrat is seeking the office.
Douglas County commissioner Sheriff David Weaver handily won the Republican nomination for Douglas County Commissioner, District 1. Weaver defeated entrepreneur Stevan Strain 68 percent to 32 percent. Weaver is vying to replace Jack Hilbert, who was term-limited, in the November general election. Weaver has served as Douglas County sheriff since 2005 and says he comes with “in-depth knowledge” of issues within the county. During his campaign, he promised to be an “experienced, effective, honest and professional leader.” Both Weaver and Strain live in Parker. Strain has served on various local boards, including the Douglas County Libraries Board of Trustees, the Douglas CounWeaver ty Planning Commission and the Douglas County Open Space Advisory Committee. Weaver faces no opposition in the general election. He may not have to wait until November to take his seat, however, as he could soon be appointed to replace Hilbert, who decided to leave the post early for a job with the state.
all areas of the coroner’s office. On the website douglascountycoroner.com, Romann writes, “I chose the Douglas County Coroner’s Office over other offers of employment, after interviewing with Lora Thomas and her staff of physicians and investigators.” Thomas, elected coroner in 2010, decided against seeking re-election, instead making a run as a Republican candidate for sheriff this year. Her candidacy did not Romann advance past the caucus process. Montano is in her 19th year working for the Denver Coroner’s Office, where she is a medico-legal death investigator. Romann is unopposed in the November election.
Douglas County coroner In the closest of the three races, Jill Romann defeated Tracey Montano 56 percent to 44 percent. Romann is the Douglas County chief deputy coroner and a medico-legal death investigator. Her 23-year career includes working in urban and rural regional medical examiner’s offices in Minnesota and Colorado. She has worked with more than 45 law enforcement agencies in

Former Congressman also emerged from primary in 2006

By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Former Congressman Bob Beauprez emerged from a crowded field of Republican hopefuls to capture the GOP nomination for governor on June 24. The native Coloradan hopes to erase memories of an unsuccessful 2006 bid for the governor’s mansion by defeating Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper in the fall. Speaking to an enthusiastic group of supporters at the downtown Denver Athletic Club, Beauprez invoked themes of freedom and liberty and a direction toward fewer government regulations. “There is a difference between living and just kind of getting along and living free,” Beauprez said during his victory speech. Beauprez defeated fellow candidates Tom Tancredo, also a former congressman, Secretary of State Scott Gessler and former state Senate Minority Leader Mike Kopp to capture the Republican nomination. Beauprez garnered just over 30 percent of the more than 380,000 votes that were cast. Tancredo finished second with 26.6 percent. Gessler took third with 23.2 percent of the tally. Kopp trailed the pack with 19.8 percent. Beauprez tried to set aside any doubts about party unity when he told supporters that he had spoken with the other three candidates, who had called to congratulate him on his win. Beauprez said the contest has always been “about who the real opponent in this race was. It’s John Hickenlooper.” “Ladies and gentlemen, we are a team,” he said to hoots and applause from his supporters. Beauprez took aim at Hickenlooper several times in his remarks to supporters. He called out the governor for signing laws that increase renewable energy mandates for rural electric cooperatives and for his support of gun legislation, such as universal background checks and bans on high-

Cheese restaurant in 1996. “If he won’t lead, if he won’t enforce the laws in the state of Colorado, I will and Nathan Dunlap will see justice served,” Beauprez said. Republican voters answered the question of whether they would give Beauprez another chance, following his double-digit loss in a 2006 governor’s race against Bill Ritter. Beauprez continues on Page 6
Buck captures Republican primary in CD-4 Weld County DA wins party nod handily Staff report Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck has captured the Republican Party’s nomination for the open 4th Congressional District seat. Buck collected about 44 percent of the 73,387 votes that were cast. His closest competitor in the race, state Sen. Scott Renfroe of Greeley, garnered about 24 percent of the vote. Weld County Commissioner Barbara Kirkmeyer finished third with 16.4 percent while Steve Laffey, a New England political transplant, trailed the pack with 15.4 per-
cent. Buck is seeking the seat that is being vacated by Rep. Cory Gardner, who is running for the U.S. Senate this fall. Buck was the most well known of the four candidates. In 2010, he lost a high-profile U.S. Senate race to current Sen. Michael Bennet in a close contest. Buck, who held his election night party in Greeley, could not be reached for comment by Colorado Community Media’s print deadline. Buck will face Democrat Vic Meyers and Castle Rock Libertarian Jess Loban in the November general election. The 4th District encompasses much of Colorado’s eastern plains, but also includes Lone Tree, Parker, Castle Rock and Elbert County.

Beauprez made no reference to that defeat during his victory speech. But in a prior interview he likened himself to John Elway, who had also lost badly prior to winning two Super Bowls. Beauprez and Tancredo were atop public polling leading up to the race. But a round of late campaign advertisements that questioned whether he was the right fit to win a general election may have hurt Tancredo. Some Republicans were concerned that Tancredo’s polarizing and wellknown views on immigration could hurt the party with moderates and Latino voters in November. Neither Tancredo nor Kopp could be
June 26, 2014 reached for comment prior to Colorado Community Media’s print deadline. Gessler said he was disappointed with the results, but said he was proud of his “respectful” performance. “I thought we ran a great campaign overall,” he said. “Obviously, things didn’t turn out the way we wanted. It is what it is.” Hickenlooper congratulated Beauprez through an e-mailed press release in which the governor also touted the state’s recent uptick in economic numbers. “Over the past four years, we’ve seen Colorado go from 40th to fourth in job creation, and we’ve seen unemployment drop from 9 percent to 5.8 percent,” Hickenlooper said. “We’re committed to keeping the positive momentum going until Colorado is number one in the country for job creation.”

Schools’ capital-needs backlog drives up cost Planners say list will grow until funding is found By Jane Reuter jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County School District staff and committee members have painted a dire picture of problems plaguing district school buildings and property, and a financial plan for addressing the situation. But that plan would require voter approval, and some board members said they don’t think that’s likely. At the June 17 school board meeting, members cited a still unstable national economy and state education funding distribution process they believe is unfair to Douglas County. One person in the audience scolded the board for years of inaction on the mounting problems, saying it owes the children a plan for fixing them. DCSD has $275 million in unfunded capital needs over the next five years. Issues presented in the DCSD Long Range Planning Committee’s 2014-15 Capital Master Plan include aging buses, boilers
and roofs; outdated technology; cracked parking lots; unraveling carpet; safety and security needs; and new construction prompted by near-capacity schools. “This seems urgent to me,” said new DCSD chief operations officer Thomas Tsai, who replaced recently retired longtime COO Bill Moffitt. “Our bond funds are gone. We’re now working with a zero sum amount of resourcing for the things we need to do to keep our buildings open. “Now we look at a 15-year-old roof and our concern and our ability is not, `Can we replace the entire thing?’ It’s, `Where is the most likely area of the roof that is going to suffer catastrophic failure?’ We don’t do this in our personal lives. Yet for some reason when it’s a public asset, we somehow lack the urgency.” For every year the capital needs aren’t addressed, the dollar amount needed to fix them increases by $35 million, said chief financial officer Bonnie Betz. “It grew $35 million this last year. It grew $35 million the year before that,” she told the board. “It will continue to grow until we do something about this.” Betz’s refinancing proposal would allow DCSD to leverage additional funds without increasing county residents’ school-related
taxes. Without such action, taxpayers eventually will see a decrease in their annual tax obligation to the schools. The idea, which could be put to a vote as soon as November, would allow county residents “to help us maintain our $900 million worth of facilities in a manner that will not have a huge impact on our taxpayers,” Betz said. Voters passed a similar refinancing mechanism in the Littleton Public Schools district last November. Betz said the plan also would allow DCSD to catch up on its capital needs during a short window of slow growth in Douglas County. While residential growth flagged during the recession, it’s bouncing back, and projections indicate a dramatic influx of new students in about five years. Board member Jim Geddes suggested the district look at the most critical issues and find ways to address them. “I think the political environment right now and for the next year or two is going to be prohibitive on asking the taxpayer for any increase whatsoever,” he said. “Our average middle-class citizen right now is under great financial duress across the country. Secondly, this is a very conservative community still, and there’s a political
bias.” “We are not in a place where I think we’re going to be successful,” board member Craig Richardson said. “I think many Douglas County residents have a very wellfounded view we are exporting a lot of cash in this district to Denver. We have high incomes and we’re paying high income taxes … and we’re getting a paltry sum back.” Until that issue is resolved, Richardson said he’s skeptical county residents will endorse any financing measure. Highlands Ranch resident Cindy Barnard — president of Taxpayers for Public Education and a plaintiff in a lawsuit against the school district — urged the board to find a solution. “There are no more Band-Aids,” she said. “Our buildings are falling apart and you’re not taking care of them. The kids that are in our buildings don’t get another chance at their education.” The most pressing issues — those planners said could interrupt students’ education — add up to about $25 million. Board members suggested that the most-urgent punch-list also should also include some safety, security and transportation-related items.
of Events The River - Littleton’s Past, Present and Future Calendar For a complete calendar of South Metro Denver By Natalie Harden On Thursday, June 12 the South Metro Denver Chamber’s Littleton Business Coalition and the Economic Development Group joined forces at Hudson Gardens to discuss Littleton’s past, present and future. Over 100 Chamber members attended the presentation, sponsored by Hudson Gardens. The morning began with networking followed by presentations by Rich Meredith, executive director of the Hudson Gardens and Event Center, who presented the history and future of Hudson Gardens. His remarks were followed by Dave Lorenz, executive director of South Suburban Park and Recreation District (SSPRD), who discussed the role of SSPRD along the Mary Carter Greenway trail. “This event was a great way for two of our strongest Chamber groups to collaborate on Littleton’s continued growth and economic development,” said Marcia McGilley, interim CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber. Laura Kroeger, assistant program manager
at Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, spoke next regarding the coordinated planning that is occurring along the South Platte River and future economic development opportunities. City Manager Michael Penny then spoke about the existing activity along the river, from the Breckenridge Brewery development to planning for the Ensor site development. Finally, Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Beckman introduced Jim Taylor, board chair of Littleton Invests For Tomorrow (LIFT) (formerly the Riverfront Authority), who presented the city’s plans to use the Urban Renewal Authority for future economic revitalization. Closing remarks were provided by David Shefte, CEO of HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital-Littleton. Norman Stucker, member of the Chamber Board of Directors and both groups, commented on the event. “The future is always about tomorrow, not yesterday; in that light I look forward to transitioning from the Chair of the Littleton Business Coalition (LBC) to a
regular member of the Executive Committee Chamber events and for more information, in support of initiatives like the approval of visit our web site at www.bestchamber.com an Urban Renewal Authority in Littleton; supporting community efforts like Clarity or call 303-795-0142.

Shredding Event raised $4,000 for Littleton Boy Scout troop and several hundred pounds of food donations for Cabrini’s Cupboard A Littleton Boy Scout troop collected $4,000 in donations. Cabrini’s Cupboard at St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church added several hundred pounds of donations to the food it provides to people needing a meal. And hundreds of residents from the South Metro area unloaded more than 10,000 pounds of documents to be shredded and more than 40,000 pounds of used electronics gear for recycling.
The event was free to the public but people taking advantage of shredding and recycling were encouraged to provide cash donations to Boy Scout Troop 4 of Littleton or non-perishable food donations that went to Cabrini’s Cupboard. “I can’t say enough about the scouts who showed up to help,” Braunschweiger said. “They really pitched in to help make the day a huge success.”
Those were the highlights of the free shredding and electronics recycling event held June 7 in Highlands Ranch by members of LEADapalooza, one of the South Metro Denver Chamber’s leads groups. The group has been meeting since 2009 and has 34 highly dedicated members. “As one of our longest-running and most successful leads groups, LEADapalooza is a vital part of the South Metro Denver Chamber,” said Marcia McGilley, interim CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber. “They embody our brand promise of “Remarkable Relationships & a Thriving Community.” “This is the most successful event of any kind that I’ve ever been involved with,” said Cheryl Braunschweiger of ALMC Mortgage at NOVA Home Loans, primary organizer of the event. “The shredding truck provided by SHRED-
IT was so full that the sides were bulging,” Braunschweiger said. “And Techno+Rescue had to bring in several extra trucks because of the tremendous volume of items we collected for recycling. Everyone involved was blown away by the amount of material we collected.”
Sponsors included 22 LEADapalooza companies: 303 Denver Chiropractic; A Cleaner Carpet; ALMC Mortgage at NOVA Home Loans; Arrow B Architecture; Brickyard BBQ; C Squared Computer Consulting; Centennial Leasing & Sales; Experience Pros Radio Show; Handyman Matters; Holly Mullins, Farmers Insurance Group; JerryBrownPR; Major Mom; Mark Thomas, RE/MAX Professionals; Nexus Financial Services; PearleVisionStreets@SouthGlenn; PROformance Apparel; Riviera Finance; RMK Cartridge; SG Associates; Cathy Reilly, Silpada Designs; SuperMedia; and Weksler Benefits.

Weld County’s gains are tied mainly to the oil and gas industry, Douglas’ can be attributed to a growing reputation of being business-friendly, Repella said. That reputation also helped the county to a No. 2 national ranking for employment gains in 2012. “A big part of it is turning around the
building permits quickly,” she said, adding that when one business has a good experience they tell their colleagues in other industries, thus creating a domino effect. The dominos don’t stop falling there, either, Repella said, pointing out that “for every job that comes into the county it brings two or three jobs by way of indirect impact.” Most of those jobs come by way of retail and construction. In addition to the positive climate the county has created, Repella also attri-
butes “a high-performing school district and having diverse, different types of communities that people can live in” to the reasons businesses have been choosing to come here. “It’s the whole package,” she said. The state also received good news last week, as Colorado’s unemployment rate dropped to 5.8 percent, the first time it has been under 6 percent since November 2008. The report also highlighted that 9,100 new jobs have been created in Colorado since May 2013.

Tune in to major life lesson from television
I don’t sleep on the thought of napping This is a tribute to naps. W. C. Fields said that the best cure for insomnia was to “get plenty of sleep.” I have never had insomnia, but I know people who do, and it must be very depressing. Sleep is one of the best things there is, and it is free. Naps are gifts to ourselves. I take at least one a day, and sometimes two. When I take a nap, it is like having two days in one. If I take two naps, I will get up at 2 or 3 a.m. and start my day. Napping is different than sleeping at night. It’s more intense. The dreams are different. I subscribe to NapDreams, and always ask for the same ones. Either UCLA is humiliating USC, or Grace Kelly and I are in a remake of “Rear Window.” I take my chances with late-night dreams, and usually wind up dreaming about someone I haven’t seen in 25 years. For some reason, I never dream about Jennifer or Smitty. Maybe because I don’t have to? But I do dream about my mother and father, especially my father, all the time. And they are very vivid and real. How do little kids feel about naps these days? I can’t remember how I felt. I might have balked. I don’t balk now. Give me half an hour or an hour, and I wake up with clarity I didn’t have before I fell asleep.
They always tell drunks in films to sleep it off. But if you’re a drunk and you sleep it off, you might not be able to get to sleep again for days. Unless. Unless you get drunk again. And then the cycle begins. I don’t recommend it. Sleep deprivation is a serious thing. I have other things, but I don’t have sleep deprivation. If I am feeling sleepy, I take a nap. It helps to be retired. My “jobs” are to paint and to write, and I am always way ahead on my painting schedule, and way ahead on my column schedule. I do yard work and grocery shopping, and that’s about it. So if the arms of Morpheus are reaching for me, I fall into them. If flights of angels come to carry me to my rest, I gladly go with them. My roommate appreciates my naps too. I think Smitty sleeps about 18 hours a day, and he is always happy when I join him. He is so
FasTracks advances a piece at a time The Southwest Rail Extension is just 2.5 miles, which seems small compared to other FasTracks lines under construction all over the Denver metro region. However, this proposed light rail extension between Mineral Station and the intersection of Lucent Boulevard and C-470 is an important connection for so many. The Southwest Rail Extension is one of almost a dozen projects RTD is planning to build under its 2004 voter-approved FasTracks transit expansion program — the largest in the country. The program is adding 122 miles of new light rail and commuter rail service. People commuting from Mineral Station know how popular this line is. I often hear how folks have to get to the station before 7 a.m. to secure a parking spot in the spill-over lot across the street from the station’s paved lot. They have to arrive even earlier to park in the paved lot. Every day, almost 4,300 people board at Mineral, the Southwest Rail Line’s current end-of-line station. Adding an extension would give our customers more parking, more options and more connections. That’s why I champion the Southwest Rail Extension. I’ve been on the RTD Board
quiet when he sleeps that I sometimes have to hold a mirror to his nose. He never snores, but now and then he makes little sounds as if he just met Miss Dachshund October. Or for some reason he wags his tail, or he kicks his left hind leg. I can nap on the bed, on the couch, on the floor, on the kitchen counter — it doesn’t seem to matter. And I don’t have a Sleep Number bed. I know I am lucky. I don’t have a bad back. I have a good back. I don’t toss and turn. I wake up in the same position that I fell asleep in. Smitty moves around though. He’ll start out near my legs, and winds up next to the pillow. When I wake up in the morning, he wakes up, and comes nearer and puts his two front paws on my chest. You can’t do any better than a dachshund. “Researchers found that men who took naps at least three times a week had a 37 percent lower risk of heart-related death.” I’m in. And there is a name for the way I nap, nap, and sleep. It figures. I can’t invent anything. It’s called “polyphasic sleep,” meaning that you sleep multiple times in a 24-hour period. That’s Smitty. And that’s me. Sweet dreams. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

of Directors since 2008 and have seen other FasTracks projects go from having little to no funding to breaking ground because of partnerships, innovative financing and good leadership. I see the same for this project in the future. Ten years ago, all of the metro mayors — regardless of political affiliations — stood together in a unified front to support FasTracks. I’m hoping this same can-do spirit will be conveyed on the Southwest Rail Extension. It was a bold undertaking to get FasTracks on the ballot then, and it will take the same bold leadership to get the Southwest Rail Extension built.

Now, I am not typically a huge fan of television shows. Maybe I should say it differently: My preference has always been to read when I have downtime, or write, or just take some quiet time instead of watching TV. And I would say that for most of my adult life that has been consistent. Of course, there are the exceptions to the rule, such as the Weather Channel, where Jim Cantore has been bringing great stories and keeps us hanging on the edge of our seats with his live action shots for so many years. Then there is the Discovery Channel, and really, what is better than shows about Vikings or Shark Week? And I love local news broadcasts and catching up on everything that is happening locally and around the world. Lastly, I enjoy having baseball on in the background as I read or write — I love the game and will watch or listen to almost any game that may be on. This past year, I have been introduced to a few programs such as “Person of Interest,” “The Good Wife,” and “24.” For this column I wanted to focus on the last one, “24.” If you are familiar with the premise, you understand that every show for the entire season happens one hour at a time. Meaning it can start at 4 p.m. and every event that takes place during that show will be completed by 5 p.m. Each episode, tons of action and loaded with drama, all takes place each week within 60 minutes. So as I watched the most recent intense, action-packed and drama-filled one hour of Jack Bauer’s life on “24,” I was caught up in thinking about a program based on a philosophy that Zig Ziglar used to promote and embody himself, the idea of being a 24 Hour Champion. So what does that mean? Zig would remind us that we are not just eight- to 10hour per day employees or business people: We are moms and dads, we are community volunteers, we are part of groups and associations, and we have our circles of friends.

So it’s not just about what we do to earn a living or support our family, it’s about who we are in each hour of each 24-hour day we are blessed enough to spend here on earth. How do we do this? We have to focus on our self-confidence and healthy self-image; we have to maintain a positive attitude; we have to build and develop relationships at home and at work; we have to set goals and pursue those goals; and we have to live with hope. Now back to why this resonated with me during a recent viewing of a television program. The concept in the show “24” is that we see everything that is going on in a window of 60 minutes. So I thought about if someone was viewing my efforts, actions, words and, yes, even drama, would they see someone who is caught up in the moment or would they see someone who is maximizing each minute of each hour to work on mind, body, and spirit? As much as we believe we are not in control of our time or maybe even

ways to move this project forward. Douglas County, Shea Properties, Englewood McClellan Reservoir Foundation, Highlands Ranch Metro District, the Highlands Ranch Community Association and the cities of Littleton and Englewood are all important players in getting this project completed. I’ve also met one-on-one with various stakeholders. Some of the ideas that have been mentioned for completing the Southwest Extension include issuing certificates of participation — a method of financing that was used to get the North Metro Rail Line project moving forward. Another methodology is exploring the feasibility of tax-increment financing (TIF) districts, which is one of the funding mechanisms for Denver Union Station. Even though the Southwest Rail Extension is unfunded now, activity continues to happen around the future Lucent Station. At the future end-of-line station at Lucent, Douglas County is working on a Station Area Master Plan. Farther north, the City of Littleton is looking at what the future holds for the 17-acre Mineral Station. Littleton and RTD have recruited a team from the Urban Land Institute to visualize future scenarios for the light-rail station parking lot and the surrounding area south of Mineral Avenue and north of the Park-n-

question our control over our own future, it really is in our grasp to live the life we want to live. When we live as 24 Hour Champions we are truly set up and empowered to succeed. Becoming a 24 Hour Champion does not mean we are awake for 24 hours. What it means is that we stay well-rested, work hard, play hard, volunteer when and where we can, laugh hard, learn hard, and love even harder than everything mentioned above. We, not anyone else, we alone are responsible for how we see ourselves and attempt to live up to becoming a 24 Hour Champion based on how we treat our minds, our bodies, and our spirits. I would love to know more about your own 24 Hour Champion efforts, and I would love to share more about the concept with you if you would send me an email at gotonorton@gmail.com.

Mission trip prompts warning from humanists Attorney says primary purpose was to promote Christianity By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com For the second time in less than a year, a Douglas County school is accused of engaging students in fundraising activities that benefited Christian organizations. An attorney for the American Humanist Association sent a June 18 letter to the Douglas County School District, saying two Highlands Ranch schools improperly supported a Christian mission trip. A parent at Highlands Ranch High School alerted the association to the alleged violation, according to AHA attorney Monica Miller. Both the high school and Cougar Run Elementary allegedly helped raise money for the March 2014 student trip to Guatemala, and an HRHS teacher accompanied students on the trip. In November 2013, Highlands Ranch’s SkyView Academy charter school halted its participation in another Christian prosely-
tizing organization, Operation Christmas Child, after the AHA challenged its legality — again at a parent’s behest. The students who went to Guatemala were part of the Highlands Ranch High School chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The trip was organized in conjunction with Adventures in Missions, whose website describes its vision, “that God would use us to raise up a generation of radically committed disciples of Jesus Christ.” A Highlands Ranch High School English teacher accompanied the students on the trip. Monica Miller, an attorney with AHA’s Appignani Humanist Legal Center, said their concern isn’t specific to Christianity. “School officials are not permitted to show preferential treatment toward any religious student group, let alone fundraise for mission trips to proselytize Christianity,” she said. “The primary purpose of their trip was to proselytize the life of Jesus Christ. It wasn’t just, `Here’s a toothbrush.’ ” Highlands Ranch High School principal Jerry Goings defended the students, who he said created and drove the initiative.
“I have a group of well-intentioned kids that came up with the idea on their own,” he said. “It was not an idea that came from adults. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the kids that are involved in it are great kids. “I can also say they didn’t do conversion mission work down there. It was definitely more humanitarian work than anything else.” Goings said the school will review the trip, with an eye toward its legality and constitutionality — an effort he said HRHS makes with every undertaking. “Because the kids themselves were the ones who came up with it, nothing led me to think I had staff that was too entangled with it,” he said. “Are we going to associate ourselves with this anymore? Would we do it exactly the same? I don’t know. We’ll definitely review it.” The AHA pointed to several instances as violations, including a Jan. 18 posting about the trip on Gofundme.com titled “Mission Trip to Guatemala/HRHS.” “There are many children living in institutions and our group’s primary goal is to share the love and hope of Jesus,” reads the
post, followed by a large HRHS Falcon logo. Cougar Run Elementary’s March 2014 school newsletter references a supply drive in which sixth-graders partnered with the HRHS Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Cougar Run reportedly donated proceeds from the sales of an issue of its “Press Paws” newspaper to support the collection efforts. Staff at Cougar Run did not return calls requesting comment. Miller said AHA also supports philanthropic work, but the schools’ involvement violated portions of both the United States and Colorado constitutions. “We’ll be closely monitoring the school to be sure it doesn’t do anything like this again,” Miller said. “We are by no means opposed to charity. There are several secular charities that have specific ties to Guatemala they can choose from if they want to do this in the future.” “Douglas County School District supports student-driven community and/or fundraising efforts,” DCSD spokeswoman Paula Hans wrote in an email. “We applaud our students for being leaders and giving back to others.”

Lone Tree Voice 15 June 26, 2014
Glass artist is man of darn few words Dale Chihuly, the “it man” in the world of art glass, clearly prefers to let his stupendous pieces of spectacular art speak for themselves rather than pontificating on his work. During a five-minute media meet-andgreet recently, Chihuly politely posed for pictures in front of the Monet Garden Pool at the Denver Botanic Gardens where an installation of the artist’s genius dots the grounds. The exhibition runs through Nov. 30. He answered a couple of questions while cameras, notebooks and voice recorders pressed in. This man of few words lets his art do the talking, and it has a lot to say. The exhibit, which features installations (some designed specifically for the Denver Botanic Gardens) at 14 sites, is a don’t-miss opportunity to bask in colorful beauty. Now that I’ve seen the show during the day, a nighttime return is on my short list. This is the Rocky Mountain Region’s first major outdoor exhibition of artwork by the celebrated American artist. Chihuly’s sculptures — ranging in size and form — add bold colors and dramatic beauty to the Gardens’ 24-acre urban oasis. Chihuly is credited with revolutionizing the Studio Glass movement and elevating the perception of the glass medium from the realm of craft to fine art. He is renowned for ambitious architectural installations around the world, in historic cities, museums and gardens. While I was oohing and aahing over the Saffron Tower & Cattails in the Ellipse Garden, a 30-foot-tall creation made of 312 hand-formed yellow neon tubes, the artist, along with “handlers,” rode up to the site in a golf cart. I asked him what he was thinking as he gazed at the Saffron Tower. “It has a lot of power, especially at night,” Chihuly said. Well said. For more information and to buy tickets, go to botanicgardens.org/exhibits/outdoor/chihuly/about.
Changeable Chihuly
The artist who earned his chops in the international glass art world wanted to stay at The Ritz-Carlton or The Four Seasons during his Denver visit. I’m told by an impeccable source that The Ritz graciously offered the Seattlebased iconic artist the Presidential Suite gratis as a donation to the Denver Botanic Gardens, but when Chihuly arrived at the Denver digs, he was taken aback by the Chihuly-knockoff glass piece installed on the hotel’s second floor. So he switched to The Four Seasons.
Art gets out
The Arvada Center’s summer exhibition, “Unbound: Sculpture in the Field,” creates a new outdoor visual arts area on the south grounds of the center. “Unbound: Sculpture in the Field” began by re-imagining the existing open space with the intent to create a compelling and engaging outdoor sculpture exhibition. In partnership with Englewood’s Museum of Outdoor Arts, which Parker continues on Page 16
The “Aluminum Overcast” was the guest of honor, again, at The Wings Over the Rockies annual hangar dance. The 1940s-era event pairs some of the area’s best foods and wine with a nostalgic World War II feel. Colorado general aviation supporters closed the hangar door on this year’s General Aviation Appreciation Week. The annual event strives to showcase how general aviation and community airports play a major role in the lives of not only Coloradans, but also the operation of businesses, farms and the state’s emergency response efforts. The celebration kicked off June 19 with the Colorado Aviation Business Association luncheon held at The Wildlife Experience. The event was punctuated with keynote speaker author and former U.S. Air Force Thunderbird leader, Brig. Gen. Dan Cherry. Friday followed with a charity golf tournament at the Lone Tree Golf Course, and Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum kept things swinging with their annual 1940s annual hangar dance held at Centennial Airport.

RIGHT: Costumed guests and re-enactors helped create a World War II-type feeling June 21 at Centennial Airport. Wings Over the Rockies hosted its annual charity hangar dance to raise funds for their new air and space museum. BELOW: Keeping with the swing of things, guests in period attire danced the night away to the sounds of Pink Champagne on June 21. The annual event held at Signature Flight Support in Centennial, helped wrap up Colorado General Aviation Week and served as a fundraiser for the new Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum, which, along with a STEM-based charter school, will be built at Centennial Airport.

Botanic Gardens exhibit is glass act Chihuly’s standout pieces join forces with nature By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com In 2001, renowned Seattle-based glass artist Dale Chihuly began what has become the “Garden Cycle,” which involves placing his astonishing creations among the flower, shrub and tree collections in large public gardens in the U.S. and abroad. His installation at Denver Botanic Gardens opened June 14 and will remain until Nov. 30, as plants grow and change through the seasons. It will look different at different times of day, in sun or shadows — and sensational when lighted after dark. Some, such as the “Perennial Fiori” sprouting from formal flower beds, or the orange, tree-like “Summer Sun” one sees near the entrance, are obviously inspired by plant forms. The “Blue Icicle Towers” that greet the entering visitor with a burst of glitz and glamour perhaps speak more of rock crystals — still in the realm of nature. Just beyond is “Summer Sun,” a tree-like blaze of 1,901 orange, red and yellow glass elements. As one enters, a turn to the left will pass through formal flower beds with sleek “Perennial Fiori” amidst the lupines, daisies and echinaceas: sleek, striped, curvy shapes and slender pointed ones in varied colors.
if you go Denver Botanic Gardens is at 1007 York St., Denver. The Chihuly exhibit runs through Nov. 30. Information: 720-865-3500, botanicgardens.org. Admission: $12.50, adults. See website for related programming.

Near the Waring House, where administrative offices are found, is a pond with “White Persian Towers” and “Turquoise Reeds and Marlins.” A look to the right brings one to the 30-foot-tall “Saffron Tower and Cattails,” with neon tubes. Walk past a pond and the “White Tower” and return to the main walkway, headed west towards the main water gardens, where floats, in and around boats, as well as the “Blue and Purple Bat and Walla Wallas” await discovery. At the western edge in the Porter Plains, in prairie grass, is a series of tall, thin “Red Reeds,” with some of the longest hand-blown glass elements Chihuly and his team created. One will want to return at dusk when lights give a magical glow to these art pieces. Special night programming is planned in October and November from 5:30 to 9 p.m.
Tour guides will be available Fridays through Sundays at 8:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. and family-oriented tours will be offered on Saturdays from 10-11 a.m. and 2-3 p.m. Children must be accompanied by an adult. See the website for other programs for photographers and painters. Chihuly’s studio shipped six 53-foot containers to Denver for the show, and it took 11 team members 11 days to install all the works. There are 14 sites with installations in the Botanic Gardens, and maps are available to find them all. While we realize that some consider the Chihuly art glass works a distraction from the plants, we feel that the Botanic Gardens is also proud to be a certified museum, and its annual inclusion of art elements is an entirely appropriate way to entice more viewers for

about dale chihuly Dale Chihuly was born in Tacoma, Wash., in 1941. He discovered glass while studying interior design at the University of Washington and then enrolled in the nation’s first glass program at the University of Wisconsin, continued at Rhode Island School of Design, and then taught there. In 1968, with a Fulbright Fellowship, he went to Venice and learned the team method of glassblowing. In 1971, he founded the Pilchuck Glass School in Washington state, which has become an international glass center.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Don’t be surprised if you experience a sudden spurt of energy strong enough to pull you out of that recent period of indecision and put you back in charge of your own goals. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) This is a good time for Leos and Leonas to set new goals regarding health, educational choices and possible career moves. The plans you make now could be a blueprint for your future. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) You might have much to offer a potential employer, but it can all be overwhelmed by too many details. Let the facts about you speak for themselves without any embellishments. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) This is a good week to balance your responsibilities to your work-a-day world with your obligations to the people in your private life. Expect news that could lead to a change in plans. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to nov 21) A changing attitude on the part of a once determined adversary could cause changes down the line. Be prepared to take advantage of an unexpected new opportunity. SAGITTARIUS (nov 22 to Dec 21) You’d be a truly wise Sagittarius to be skeptical about an offer that doesn’t answer all your questions. Even a colleague’s testimonial doesn’t replace facts that aren’t there. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) It’s a good idea to avoid spending on unnecessary purchases this week in order to keep a money reserve against a possible upcoming (but, fortunately, temporary) shortfall. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) More information is what you should demand regarding that workplace situation that recently came to light. Don’t be surprised at who might turn up as one of your supporters. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) You might still be in a “treading water” mode, but by midweek, a shift in your aspect favors taking a more active role in pushing for the changes you feel are necessary. Good luck. BORN THIS WEEK: You exude a warm, caring attitude that comforts everyone who comes into your life. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

League clash: Continental crushes Centennial ThunderRidge rolls to 6-0 mark in summer hoops showdown By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com It is only summer and high school basketball players and teams are polishing their skills for next season. Still, it seemed strange to watch Highlands Ranch play without a big man in the pivot. Zach Braxton, the dominating 6-foot-9 center who was the 2013-14 Continental League Player of the Year, has graduated and Highlands Ranch will be competing next season with 6-4 front line players. “We don’t have a big guy but still we’re not bad,” said Highlands Ranch coach Bob Caton. “We go 6-4, 6-4. So we won’t be small but it’s not like having Zach.” Caton was pleased with what he’s saw from his team in the Continental-Centennial Challenge tournament held June 19-21 at Heritage High School. The Falcons have three regulars back from last season in Ryley Steward, Keith Coleman and Patrick Sullivan. “We’re trying to see what our team makeup is going to be like next year and then work to their strengths and try to improve on their weaknesses,” said Caton. “We’ve worked a little bit on different concepts, just getting the players to kind of know each other.” ThunderRidge had only one senior on last season’s team and the Grizzlies were the lone unbeaten team in the Continental-Centennial Challenge, winning all six games. “We’ve done well this summer,” admitted ThunderRidge coach Joe Ortiz. “At Metro we were 5-1, at CU we went 6-0 and then here we went 6-0. We are 5-1 in the East League. We’ve lost to East and we lost to Eaglecrest. Those are our only two losses. We’ve had some good wins. We’re doing well but it’s summer. “Teams are missing people, sometimes there are different things going on and you are playing more than you normally play. Most of the time we have 10 or 11 kids. So you take it with a grain of salt but we’re pleased.
Highlands Ranch guard Ryley Stewart, left, looks for a way around a Cherry Creek defender during the Continental-Centennial Challenge basketball tournament at Heritage High School. Teams from the Centennial League picked up 37 wins in 48 games between the two conferences. Photo by Jim Benton The kids are finding different ways to win.” Ortiz was quick to point out the advantages of summer basketball. “Development, development, always development,” echoed Ortiz. “The most important thing is development. You are not as up and down after the wins and losses because it’s summer. Our kids do get some exposure and we are evaluating them but it’s strictly development. It’s all about getting better. Wins in December mean a heck of a lot more.” Continental League teams won 37 games against their Centennial counterparts. Centennial teams won only 11 games in the three-day tourney. ThunderRidge was 6-0 while Highlands Ranch, Mountain Vista, Legend and Regis Jesuit compiled 5-1 records. Chaparral and Heritage went 4-2 while Rock Canyon won three games and lost three
contests. Douglas County and Castle View didn’t participate. Eaglecrest paced Centennial teams with a 4-2 record. Cherry Creek was 2-4 and Arapahoe, Mullen and Overland all went winless. “The tournament went pretty well,” said Heritage coach and tournament director Jentry Byleveld. “There were some really competitive games. Everyone had to bring their A game otherwise they got beat because all the teams were pretty good. “What was nice was you got to see different styles. Summer is for the individuals and the fall is for the team. There is a lot of development and that’s why this tournament was one of the better ones. “The competition and coaches can see what they have out there, mixing lineups up. What is nice is in the Centennial League there is a little more athletic ability and we don’t get

Former Arapahoe skater named DU captain Grant Arnold to lead Pioneers on ice next season By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Grant Arnold will be wearing a “C” on his sweater next season for the college hockey team he grew up watching. Arnold, who attended Arapahoe High School for three years, was named captain of the University of Denver hockey team for the 2014-15 season by coach Jim Montgomery. “I don’t want to say it’s a dream come true,” said Arnold. “I never really thought the opportunity would present itself. It was a huge honor just in general to come to DU, growing up watching them, watching them win the back-to-back championships (in 2004 and 2005). It’s a huge honor. I’m very blessed to have it.” Arnold, a 6-foot-1, 215-pound junior, isn’t a high-profile player who draws the immediate attention of opponents. He played last season on DU’s “Mash Line” and his gritty, physical play provided valuable contributions for the Pioneers that didn’t show up in statistics. In 76 games with DU over the past two seasons, Arnold has three goals and 11 points but now will take on an additional role as team captain. “I’ve been a captain before so I’m comfortable in the role,” said Arnold. “I was really, really happy I could get it this year.” Arnold has watched and tried to follow the example of several National Hockey League captains.
Grant Arnold, who attended Arapahoe High School for three years, was named captain of the University of Denver hockey team for the 2014-15 season. Courtesy photo “Obviously Joe Sakic growing up when the Avs were on their great run for those years,” said Arnold. “He really wasn’t the kind of player that I am but I always looked up to him. Today, I love Dustin Brown of the L.A. Kings. He plays a very physical style and he’s always so composed. He’s very intense with his teammates but he’s also always there for them and has their back. “Back in the day, I never got to see him play because I was too young but I watched a ton on highlights of Wendel Clark. He is the
kind of the guy I love to watch in highlights and I try to play like he did. And Ray Bourque when he was here. That was really an emotional experience when he won his first Cup with the Avs.” Clark was a captain for the Toronto Maple Leafs from 1991-94 and Bourque served as the Boston Bruins captain for 21 seasons before finishing his career with Colorado. Arnold played three years of high school hockey for Arapahoe before leaving for Green Bay his senior year to play for the Gamblers
Tier I team in the United States Hockey League. He played three seasons for the Gamblers before coming to DU. “For the most part these days you have to leave home and go play someplace else if you’re not fortunate enough to have a junior league team in your hometown,” explained Arnold. “I hated to leave my senior year. It was a tough decision, but I wanted to pursue the

sports roundup Flag football coming
Grid Iron, an NFL-approved youth flag football league, will open play this September at Mountain Range Middle School in Highlands Ranch. The eight-week season kicks off Sept. 13 and includes a Super Bowl tournament. There are plans to develop additional leagues in Douglas, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties over the next few years. Grid Iron Flag Football is for boys and girls ages 5-14 and includes all-girls leagues. For information contact norm@gridironflag.com or visit the website at www. gridironflag.com.
Creek’s Tierney resigns
Cherry Creek girls lacrosse coach Brianne Tierney has resigned to pursue possible college coaching opportunities. Tierney, daughter of University of Denver men’s lacrosse coach Bill Tierney, led the Bruins to the state title in her initial season as Creek coach in 2013 and her team finished second last season giving her a 28-9 two-year coaching record. Creek will be seeking its third girls lacrosse coach since 2009 but it should be an attractive position since the Bruins have played in every state title game since the sport was sanctioned 16 years ago and has captured 10 state titles along the way.
Macdonald repeats
Ross Macdonald of the Country Club of Castle Pines captured the Colorado
Golf Association Junior Stroke Play title for the second consecutive year. He is the first player to repeat since Scott Peterson won three straight championships from 1987 through 1989. Macdonald tied his Valor Christian High School teammate Coby Welch of The Links Golf Course for medalist honors with an even-par 210 total after three rounds at Indian Tree Golf Course in Arvada. Macdonald captured the title June 20 on the second playoff hole with a 5-foot par putt. Ashley Tait of Littleton, the daughter of Raccoon Creek head golf pro Pat Tait, finished second June 15 in the DecaturForsyth Classic of the LPGA Symnetra Tour. Tait tied for first with Madison Pressel at 210 but lost on the first playoff hole. She earned $9,043 and has made $12,594 in 12 tourneys this season.
Herman, McCaffrey honored
Mountain Vista’s Jake Herman was named the Douglas County League boys lacrosse coach of the year and Chaparral’s Colton McCaffrey was selected as the 2014 Player of the Year.

Manhart on preseason list Nebraska-Kearney senior left tackle Cole Manhart, a 6-foot-6, 300-pound graduate of ThunderRidge High School, has been named a first-team preseason All-American by both the Sporting News and Lindy’s. Manhart, who is drawing interest from NFL teams, was selected to multiple All-American teams last fall.
Gatorade tabs Power Ponderosa pitcher Ally Power has been named the 2013-14 Colorado Softball Player of the Year. The award recognizes outstanding athletic excellence and high academic standards. Power, a 5-foot-4 right-hander who was the Colorado Community Media South Metro Pitcher of the Year, helped the Mustangs go 19-5 and capture third place in the Class 4A state tournament. She was 17-5 with a 0.78 earned run average and struck out 277 batters in 152 innings pitched. She hit .442 with four home runs and 19 runs batted in and has maintained a 3.67 grade point average.

hockey dream. “I can’t even put into words the experience I had in Green Bay. We won two national championships. I was the captain of the second one and it was insane. The year we didn’t win we made it to the finals and lost to Montgomery’s team in the championship.” Arnold was one of eight Colorado players on the DU roster last season. “I kind grew up in the era of hockey really growing in Colorado,” he added. “It’s been awesome to see. Now we have the Thunderbirds and Rampage, two elite AAA programs. When I was at Arapahoe we won state championships and we had a great team. We had 13 AAA kids on our team. Hockey has really grown. It’s not at a level where other states are but it has excelled.” Arnold played for the Thunderbirds before moving on to the Gamblers and to DU. “Grant embodies what a hockey player is all about,” said former Pioneer player and Thunderbirds coach Angelo Ricci. “He plays with great energy, passion and has a high compete level. “His teammates feed off his attitude and work ethic which are certainly contagious throughout the locker room. I believe DU may have some players with more skill but I am not sure if they have any with more heart than Grant.”

Until August 2011, Lone Tree’s arts venues included a church and a clubhouse basement in which its community symphony and theater company held a popular, but capacity-strained series of presentations. Today, the $23 million Lone Tree Arts Center offers more than 65 different performances and programs, including its home-grown symphony, and generates about $1 million in annual ticket sales. Productions include the main stage series and those designed specifically for families, children, seniors and people with developmental disabilities. About 150 meetings and rental events also are held at the center as well. The center includes a grand entry hall and gallery space, a 500-seat main stage theater with orchestra and balcony seating, state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems, an orchestra pit, 225-seat event hall for smaller performances, events and meetings, and a 350-seat outdoor terrace theater. And it isn’t just Lone Tree residents who’ve discovered what the Denver Post referred to as a “jewel on the metro arts scene.” “Something like 70 percent of our audiences comes from outside Lone Tree,” executive director Lisa Rigsby Peterson said. “We’re helping raise the reputation and profile of the city in general, not just from a performance but a business perspective.”
