Plans for light rail take another step Council gives its approval to three station designs By Rick Gustafson Special to Colorado Community Media

The Lone Tree City Council has voted to approve Site Improvement Plans for the Regional Transportation District’s extension of the E Line light rail south of Lincoln Station. The vote took place at the April 19 council meeting, and approval of the designs for three stations along a 2.3-mile expansion is one more step in a process that should allow RTD to begin con-

struction this spring. The city council’s approval of the stations at Sky Ridge, City Center and RidgeGate were conditional, and final approval of the designs and landscape is subject approval of the city’s public works department. In general, the council praised the designs of the three new light rail stations and unanimously voted in favor of the plans, though District 2 Councilmember Susan Squyer did express concerns about the distance from the “Kiss and Ride” passenger drop-off zone to the ADA-compliant ramp. She also noted the potential for driv-

ers to stop to drop off passengers in through lanes of traffic on Sky Ridge Drive. “Based on the size of the site and the configuration of the setting, we really could not get ramps to work in this area,” said Lee Kellar with Parsons Brinkerhoff, referring to the stairs adjacent to the Kiss and Ride. “The 650 feet … sounds like a long way, but compared to other stations that RTD has in the system, it’s probably average.” Kellar said that the steep grade in the section close to the “Kiss and Ride” would have Light rail continues on Page 5

School voucher program faces new challenge Families sue for right to use program for religious facilities Staff report Local families represented by the Institute for Justice, a Virginia-based nonprofit law group, have filed a legal challenge to the Douglas County School District’s voucher program. On March 15, the school board voted 4-3 to approve a revision to the Choice Scholarship Program that removes religiously affiliated schools as an option. The revision came nine months after the Colorado Supreme Court ruled the original version of the program was illegal. No public funds can be used to aid or Voucher continues on Page 5

Dog injured by porcupine is euthanized

Former stray put down due to complications from encounter

CHRISTINE MCQUILLEN

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com A local celebrity, Canello, “the Porcupine Dog,” was euthanized on April 11. Deb Nabb, founder of the Parker group Missing Mutt Detectives, fostered Canello for the last two months after animal control officers captured the stray dog. He was covered in porcupine quills when he was found. In a Facebook post on her page “Canello, The ‘Porcupine Dog’ — In Loving Memory,” Nabb said Canello had medical and neurological issues that were beyond the help of veterinarians and behaviorists. The post went on to say that Canello was in so much physical and psychological pain that the humane choice was to have the dog euthanized. The post went on to say that Nabb feels both sadness and relief over the loss of the dog. “We are utterly shattered, yet we try to remind ourselves that he is running with carefree abandon and joy somewhere on the other side … and that we will see him again, as he is inexplicably tied to us for eternity.”

Massage therapist, storyteller, hiker What I do I work at Whole Health Center in Lone Tree, and I’m a massage therapist. We get a lot of injuries here, so I do some deep tissue massage, neuromuscular massage, stretching, things of that nature to help people heal and overcome their physical injuries or issues. My passion Storytelling. It’s more about the story. I have a network of friends, the crew that puts the movie together. It’s really finding the story and getting that message out. Right now, the only thing I’m working on is a documentary for children with ADHD and ADD. I’m going to take nine children and treat them with acupuncture and other traditional Chinese medicines, therapies and record the before, during and after. This is a long process, because it turns out that I need to get funding. It’s not just the kind of thing where you can go off and just shoot it. So I’m applying for grants. What I do for fun I am into photography, horseback riding, and of course, living here in Colorado, I’m a hiker.

School district, state agree on repayment DCSD will pay back $2.03 million to end dispute Staff report The Douglas County School District and the Colorado Department of Education have reached an agreement regarding a dispute over student-attendance calculations that resulted in $4.2 million being owed to the state. The money was sought for 1,100 students who attended school part time but received full-time state funding. The school district stated it did not know about the problem until 18 months after the dates in question. CDE Commissioner Rich Crandall has reduced the amount DCSD will pay back to the state to $2.03 million. “I’ve spoken with numerous lawmakers about our shared desire to move our state’s funding model toward a competency-based system that measures student outcomes,” Crandall said in a emailed statement. “Our School Finance Department does an excellent job with student count audits, but the way education is funded needs more focus on outcomes and less on seat time. We recognize that Douglas County teachers and school leaders do an excellent job, and that their students are among the highest achieving in the state.” DCSD said it budgets contingency

funds every year, allowing the district to cover unexpected expenditures — like the money it must give back to the state — without impacting schools. According to the district, it is important to note that this is not a fine or a fee but a refund. Colorado law requires full-time students to have 360 hours of scheduled instruction per semester. Funding is provided to each district based on enrollment as of Oct. 1 each year. The audit conducted by the CDE reported more than 1,200 DCSD students did not meet the state’s schedule requirement for full-time funding during the 2012-13 and 2013-14 school years. In November 2015, DCSD filed suit in Denver District Court maintaining the students in question were indeed full time. The district has agreed to refund $2.03 million within 60 days. “I would like to thank Commissioner Crandall for his thoughtful consideration of this matter,” said Douglas County Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen in an emailed statement. “I look forward to working with the commissioner to change the way we account for student time in school. We all know that learning is not about minutes in a chair, it is about the skills and understanding gained. In this day and age, a leading state like Colorado needs a better strategy for funding its students, aligned with its values.”

Developmental Pathways Hosts Fair Helping People with Developmental Disabilities Media Contact: Tara Foristal, Associate Director of Communications, 303-858-2381 April 28, 2016 April 2nd, 2016 was World Autism Awareness Day. It also happened to be a day where the Community Outreach Department at Developmental Pathways, the local Community Centered Board for Arapahoe County, Douglas County, and the City of Aurora, hosted a fair where individuals with developmental disabilities could meet local service providers and learn more about accessible supports. Developmental Pathways partnered with other local service agencies to ensure this was not only an informative event for attendees, but also an entertaining one! The National Sports Center for the Disabled (NSCD) joined the event and hosted an inclusive obstacle course. Attending kids loved jumping over, crawling through, and running in between different obstacles. DIRT Coffee Bar, a local coffee truck and inclusive employer, provided unlimited coffee, lattes, tea, and lemonade to the guests and vendors. Continuum of Colorado, a direct care provider to individuals with developmental disabilities, provided an arts and crafts corner with fun activities for families. The event also highlighted the talents of local entrepreneurs like Max Miller. Max created The Blue Ribbon Arts Initiative which helps kids with autism get connected with the arts through art shows and art meet-ups.

ive years ago, when Douglas County was in the process of building RidgeGate Boulevard, a construction crew stumbled upon a curious sight: the charred remains of a palm tree. The find motivated county project manager Sean Owens to look further into how the tree ended up roughly 20 feet below the ground surface. He discovered what a surprising few in the Denver area have come to learn, and that is the fact that an ocean and, later, a rainforest once covered the Front Range. A set of stone pillars at Native Legend Park in Castle Rock describes the decimation of the rainforest and notes that “37 million years ago, this would have been a very bad place to be standing.” A volcanic eruption somewhere in the area of the Collegiate Peaks (Mount Princeton, Mount Harvard, Mount Oxford, etc.) in Colorado’s Sawatch Range sent a “fiery avalanche of airborne molten rock” toward the Front Range and “animals were literally entombed in the superheated volcanic ash right where

What lies beneath Douglas County’s buried artifacts tell stories of distant times By Chris Michlewicz Special to Colorado Community Media they stood,” according to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, which provided information for the pillars at Native Legend Park. The solidified ash and the organic material it buried created a 20-foot-thick layer of rhyolite. Owens and the construction crew had found a 24-inch-diameter tree trunk that was “half petrified and half burned” and sticking out of the bedrock. Carbon dating put its age at between 30 million and 50 million years old. “It was just the weirdest thing to see,” Owens said. “That whole area — the Hess, Ridgegate and Lincoln area — they’ll find those burned trees from that volcano.” It’s just one of the fascinating stories that explore the evidence of landscapes

and civilizations from the past, and what lies beneath the feet of Douglas County’s current inhabitants. Something old, something new Not every find, of course, is tens of millions of years old. Artifacts uncovered at the Rueter-Hess Reservoir site within the last 10 years provide insight into separate civilizations of paleo-Indians and hunter-gatherers who lived in the area between 2,000 and 5,000 years ago. Evidence of pit dwellings — and even an artifact depicting what many believe to be a dog — were painstakingly unearthed by URS Corp. and a team from Centennial Archaeology. Perhaps the most significant archaeological site in Douglas County was found

completely by accident in the late 1960s. “A rancher was cleaning up his stock pond with his backhoe and he found a piece of a mammoth,” said Judy Hammer, a planner with the county’s community development department. “He knew it was a big bone he had never seen before.” The rancher called a museum in Denver, which called experts from the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., to take a look. It was the skull of a young mammoth. Between the 1970s and the early 1990s, archaeology teams excavated what’s now known as Lamb Spring, a watering hole that attracted creatures of all types thousands of years ago. Some became mired in the mud and never got out, and their skeletons were wellpreserved. “They found a lot of animals that were alive during the Ice Age: the sloth, the saber-toothed cat, camels,” Hammer said. Norma Miller, an archaeologist and curator of the Douglas County History Repository, said the area was used over time by different tribes of people, and tools were found that spanned thousands of years “all the way up to contact with Europeans, which was the 1840s,” she said. The site — off Titan Road west of Highway 85 — is now governed by the Lamb Spring Archaeological Preserve, a group led by a volunteer board of directors made up of some of those who excavated the area. The group leads free guided tours of the site from May to October. Find more information at www.lambspring.org. The search for Blackfoot Cave Blackfoot Cave, a few clicks south and east of Castlewood Canyon State Park in Douglas County, is actually not a cave, but rather a rock shelter that was “occupied off and on for centuries,” said Miller, who added that more than 5,000 bags of artifacts were recovered from Blackfoot Cave during an eight-year excavation that ended in 2014. “We’ve got stuff from 7,000 years ago,” she said. The site has produced hundreds of spear points from different eras. Charcoal

Douglas County School District adds rifles for security staff 10 semi-automatic weapons come with $12,300 price tag By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School District has purchased 10 semi-automatic long rifles to be used by the security staff in the event of an active-shooter situation.

traditional juvenile justice system for firsttime, misdemeanor offenders. Though historically targeted at younger offenders, juveniles between the ages of 11-17 may be eligible. Designated as respondents, the juveniles must be referred to Teen Court by the 18th Judicial District Court and have committed nonviolent offenses. “The 18th Judicial has a diversion program,” said Lone Tree City Clerk Jennifer Pettinger. “A lot of those kids don’t need the intense counseling that they receive as part of that program, and the DA’s office feels that they would be great candidates for going into our Teen Court programs.” The Diversion Program recommends qualified candidates in the jurisdiction where their crimes were committed, and the municipality makes a determination whether to accept them or not. “I can’t imagine too many cases that we would turn down, just because the collaboration has been so good,” Pettinger said. “There are only so many resources that you have, so when I say addressing all the kids, we hope to address the majority of the kids.”

support any “sectarian” institution, the court ruled. The families say the exclusion of religious options from the program violates the Free Exercise, Establishment, Equal Protection and Free Speech clauses of the U.S. Constitution, as well as the Due Process Clause, which guarantees the fundamental right of parents to control and direct the education and upbringing of their children. The three families, one each from

$12,300 and was approved by Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen. Rich Payne, director of school safety and security for the district, said all of his security officers have law enforcement backgrounds and will undergo an additional 20 hours of training specific to the rifles. Payne said because the district covers 90 square miles and is home to 87 schools, including some in rural areas, in an emergency situation there may not be time to wait for outside help or law

enforcement. “We may be the first to arrive on scene in an active-shooter situation, and if the bad guy has a long rifle (and) we just have handguns, we are at a disadvantage,” Payne said. Payne said the idea to purchase the rifles came to him while training with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. According to Payne, DCSD will be the first school district in Colorado to own rifles of this nature. The eight trained safety officers in the

district are presently armed with handguns. “Our officers have been armed for years. This is just another tool,” Payne said. The Bushmaster rifles will be kept in a safe in the district security headquarters and in locked cases in patrol vehicles when on assignment. “The rifles will only be deployed if and when they are needed, and we hope that is never the case,” said Paula Hans, spokeswoman for the district.

mal or informal drop-off points, would be on grade and more conducive for wheelchair drop-off when completed. The City of Lone Tree, the Rampart Range Metropolitan District and Douglas County have each pledged $7.3 million along with the Southeast Public Improvement Metropolitan District, who kicked in $3.0 million for a total contribution of around $25 million.

The light rail extension from Lincoln Station to the end of-the-line station at RidgeGate Parkway and Havana Street was approved by Colorado voters in 2004 as part of RTD’s FasTracks Program. When completed, the rails will connect service from Lone Tree to Denver International Airport and as far north as Boulder. Construction is expected to be com-

pleted in 2019, and according to RTD, the total estimated cost is $207 million, or around $90 million per mile.

Respondents are interviewed at intake appointments, and once accepted they are questioned by peer panels or undergo a full trial. The proceedings are run by teen volunteers who serve as prosecution, defense and jury. Some programs have adults who preside as judges, and in other programs that duty is performed by the volunteers. Once testimony is heard, the peer panels or juries decide on an appropriate punishment. The punishments can range from apologizing to a store manager for shoplifting and interviewing other storeowners on the effects of shoplifting for an essay. Juries also mandate community service, or random drug or alcohol testing. If respondents comply with the teen court “sentence” over the course of the program, the criminal charges are dropped, and the teen receives a letter of completion. “The more you get into it the more passionate you get about it,” said Steve Hebert,

Lone Tree deputy city manager. “Personally I was kind of skeptical at first, and then I sat in on the Castle Rock Teen Court panel, and I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, this is really good stuff.’” When the City of Lone Tree began discussing their plans for Teen Court, Douglas County also expressed an interest in becoming involved. “We in tandem started having conversations with Parker, Castle Rock, and the county about this whole youth diversion program ... We said that when we get one ready, those kids can be fed into our system as well,” Hebert said. Castle Rock launched its Teen Court program in the summer of 2008 and uses both a trial and peer panel system. In 2015, the court tried 70 respondents who performed 1,276 hours of community service. The 40 student volunteers who served as prosecutors or juries put in an additional

1,750 hours. Teen courts have been around since the 1970s, originating in Texas. Studies from around the country as to their effectiveness at reducing teen recidivism are mixed, but the council is encouraged by the numbers in Colorado that reflect a 10 percent recidivism rate. Recidivism rates are difficult to track, but as of December, around 3 percent of the 2015 respondents participating in Castle Rock’s Teen Court had reoffended, and 93 percent completed the requirements set down by the court. The Lone Tree City Council has budgeted $50,000 for the program for 2016, and the city posted an opening for a part-time Teen Court coordinator to oversee the program on April 11. “Once that person is hired the program implementation will really begin,” said Pettinger. “We’re hoping to recruit for volunteers in September and then … in November, hold our Teen Court session.” The number of cases heard by Lone Tree’s Teen Court will depend on the number of volunteers that sign up, but Pettinger hopes the court could hear between 20 and 30 cases each month once it is up and fully running. “You’re changing a path that the kid’s going down,” said Pettinger. “That’s a winwin.”

Castle Rock, Parker and Highlands Ranch, would like to use the program to send their students to Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch. “The DCSD School Choice Grant Program was designed to meet the state constitutional limitations as outlined by the Colorado Supreme Court in its ruling last summer,” school district spokeswoman Paula Hans said in an emailed statement. “Specifically, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that if the district chose to run a grant program that included private schools it must exclude faithbased schools. While we disagree with that decision and have appealed it to the United States Supreme Court, DCSD still

seeks to maximize the ability of families to match their students with the best educational environment to meet their unique needs. In order to accomplish that goal, we established a new program explicitly denying participation to faithbased schools. Such a program is within the confines the Colorado Supreme Court has placed upon the district and we fulfill our obligation to defend the program the court limited us to.” Before it was halted, the original voucher program, designed to accommodate 500 students, allowed students’ parents to use state-provided, per-pupil money toward tuition at private schools, including religiously affiliated institu-

tions. The voucher dispute dates to 2011, when the program was given the green light by the school board and then Taxpayers for Public Education — a nonprofit group that advocates for “a strong public education system” — filed a lawsuit against the district to stop it. A Denver judge halted the program that same year, but in 2013, a state appeals court reversed that decision. Another reversal came with the ruling from the state’s top court in June 2015. The district filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court in September of last year and is waiting to hear if the court will take the case.

The more you get into it the more passionate you get about it.”

Juvenile sentencing bill causes contention District attorneys oppose bills sponsored by local legislators

By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com For Sen. Cheri Jahn, the motivation is clear: To bring Colorado in line with a U.S. Supreme Court decision that makes it unconstitutional to sentence juveniles to life without parole and to allow for judicial discretion relating to circumstances behind the behavior of juveniles accused of murder. But for First Judicial District Attorney Pete Weir and his fellow district attorneys, the two Senate bills, SB 180 and SB 181, proposed by Jahn, D-Wheat Ridge, and Sen. Laura Woods, R-Arvada, undercut the power of the courts and give short shrift to victims. “It’s frustrating when legislation is being proposed that dismisses what victims go through,” Weir said. “It’s incumbent upon district attorneys to speak up and say this is what our communities want.” SB 180 concerns a step-down program for juveniles who have been prosecuted as adults that would teach them life skills and reintegration into the community. The bill would allow some offenders to go through this program and then be considered for early parole. SB 181 would stop life without parole

‘COLORADO IS AN OUTLIER’ Mary Ellen Johnson, executive director of the Pendulum Foundation, which advocates for youth offenders, said the two Senate bills, if passed, would provide opportunities for second chances. “Colorado is an outlier,” said “Not all of these guys are going to come out or should come out. But it provides the opportunity of a second chance.” The foundation was created by the parents of Erik Jensen,

convicted of ﬁrst-degree murder in the 1998 death of Julie Ybanez of Highlands Ranch. Jensen, then 17, said he helped his friend, Nathan Ybanez, clean up the crime scene after Ybanez killed his mother, but that he did not participate in the killing. Both are serving life without parole. Colorado ended the no-parole sentencing practice in 2006. But 48 inmates in state prisons are serving life without

sentences for juveniles. Only inmates who were convicted of felony murder or who were complicit in the murder may qualify for a sentence of 30 to 50 years. George Brauchler, district attorney for the 18th Judicial District, calls SB 181 “extreme” and “insulting” to the families of victims. The Senate Judiciary Committee passed both bills on a 3-2 vote on April 20. The package of the two bills goes to the Senate Appropriations Committee due to a fiscal note on SB 180. “Because of strict state laws, judges had no discretion to consider things like

parole for ﬁrst-degree murder and other crimes they committed as youths between 1990 and 2006. At least 14 states, including South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming, have eliminated life without parole for youth offenders since the Supreme Court in 2012 found it unconstitutional. In January, the court said its decision applied retroactively.

circumstances when they were handing down these sentences,” Jahn said. “It’s not a matter of if these are awful crimes or not — they are — or if these individuals should be punished — they should. It’s about when does punishment go too far?” Amendments were added to SB 181 saying judges must consider the inmate’s age at the time of the crime, and whether or not he or she can be rehabilitated. The impact of crime on the victims also must be considered. Another amendment to SB 180 makes offenders who were convicted of a sex crime ineligible for resentencing consideration. Colorado has 48 juveniles who have been given life sentences without parole. Weir and his colleagues strongly oppose the bills, saying they put the suffering of offenders over that of victims. “District attorneys were not consulted during the creation of this legislation,” Weir said. “I believe they give inordinate benefits to murders.” Life-without-parole sentences for juveniles have been an issue of concern for Jahn since 2003. She said she was encouraged by the 2012 U.S. Supreme Court case of Miller v. Alabama, which said sentencing juveniles to life without parole was unconstitutional. This year, the U.S. Supreme Court

determined the unconstitutionality to be retroactive, which means the 48 juveniles in Colorado are eligible to have their cases reviewed. But Colorado has no process in place to do so. Colorado eliminated life sentences for juveniles in 2006, and instead allows juveniles to be eligible for parole after serving 40 years. “We are fine with the situation as is, but this bill (181) could mean offenders get off sooner than 40 years because of time earned,” Weir said. “These individuals are some of the worst of the worst and have committed heinous, cruel, vicious murders.” For Jahn, besides bringing the state in line with the Supreme Court ruling, SB 181 allows judges to consider circumstances behind a juvenile’s behavior. This might include developmental maturity, upbringing and involvement in the crime. “I agree that some of these offenders should never see the light of day again, but we have a moral obligation to have the full picture,” she said. “There are some who have gotten college degrees and been stellar inmates, even though they have no hope of parole. This bill doesn’t say they would receive parole, but that they deserve a second look.”

Artifacts Continued from Page 4

from a roasting pit was particularly helpful in determining how old some of the artifacts are. Blackfoot Cave is a natural stone feature made partly of a rock outcrop along East Cherry Creek. Because it faces southwest, it was an ideal place to live, providing shelter from winter storms and taking in a nice breeze during the summer, Miller says. It also has a great view of Pikes Peak and is in close proximity to water and a wooded area. Blackfoot Cave is now owned by Douglas County, but it almost went undiscovered and forgotten by time. A settler who explored the area around 1842 kept a diary of his travels and detailed a trip he took with a group that included Blackfoot Indians. When they encountered a brutal storm, they sheltered in Blackfoot Cave, Miller said. The diary kept interest alive in small circles for decades and piqued the curiosity of historians. However, private property owners would not grant access to the area where Blackfoot Cave was believed to be. It wasn’t until one property owner gave the OK that the site was rediscovered, and the county later purchased the land. It was a surprise to Miller that the site was so intact when an archaeology team finally got the chance to recover cultural relics. “Settlers lived there and a lot of that stuff wasn’t destroyed. And there it sat for thousands of years,” she said. Committed to preservation Archeological surveys have been around since before the

A tusk from a mammoth skeleton found in Stonegate in 2002 is on display in the lobby of Parker Town Hall. Photos by Chris Michlewicz county’s growth spurt in the 1990s and early 2000s. A largescale one was conducted in the late 1970s before construction began on Highlands Ranch. It was during that time that historic preservation became more of a priority in Douglas County. Regulations came in handy in 2002 when a crew working on the north side of Stonegate dug up a mammoth skeleton that turned out to be as much as 200,000 years old. The tusks are on display at Parker Town Hall. When a development is proposed, the county has what’s known as a “referral period” in which agencies that would be affected by the project are able to provide feedback to elected officials who approve or deny applications for development. The Douglas County Historic Preservation Board is among those agencies, and it searches a state database of historically significant sites in the area and looks at aerial photographs. The intensity of the archaeological survey often depends on the likelihood of finding cultural resources, and sometimes Miller is given access to provide a cursory glance at the surface.

Norma Miller, an archaeology consultant and curator at the Douglas County History Repository, talks about some of the local ﬁnds, including spearheads. “You’d be surprised how much you can see if you know what you’re looking for,” Miller says. After research and a survey, Miller makes recommendations to the developer or property owner, and these days, developers are more receptive to the idea of preservation, she said. But it’s difficult to know how many artifacts have already been buried by residential and commercial development.

“Untold,” Miller says. Nudging from the county and cooperation from developers has resulted in the discovery of “little pieces of the puzzle,” as the archaeologist and longtime Douglas County resident puts it. If done correctly, the discovery of artifacts does not have to cause significant construction delays. A perfect example is the Parker Water and Sanitation District’s willingness to work with archae-

ologists when cultural finds, including the pit dwellings, were uncovered at Rueter-Hess Reservoir, said Miller, who put together a display case of artifacts that is now in the lobby of the water district’s purification plant near the reservoir. “What we say is just ‘please let us get in there to see what’s there and get it taken care of and then we’ll leave you alone,’” Miller said. More than a million dollars was spent on excavating when Rueter-Hess Reservoir was being built, “but, boy, it was really worth it because it’s added a tremendous amount of knowledge on how the land was used,” she said. Artifacts from Lamb Spring are at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and the Smithsonian, but the vast majority of the 14,000 cultural resources found locally are at the history repository, where Miller carefully catalogs them and places them in boxes. The items are featured on Douglas County’s Virtual History Museum, a website that contains a series of stories and photographs of the artifacts. Now, all that’s needed is a brick-and-mortar space to further drive public interest in history. “The county really needs a countywide museum,” Miller said. With thousands of acres still to be developed in Douglas County, there will likely be much more to talk about. If petrified palm tree trunks and the remnants of long-extinct goliaths are known to be below the surface, it begs the question: What else is down there? “I’ve never found dinosaur bones during a project,” Owens said, “but you never know.”

Seniors forced to ﬁnd new homes Fire prevents residents from moving back to Southview Place Towers

nights in a Red Cross shelter, while others, like the Stubberts, found temporary homes with family or friends. Then on April 19, the building’s 132 residents learned their leases had been terminated. Damage from the lunchtime fire was extensive enough to make the building uninhabitable for at least six months, a spokesman for Southview’s owners said. The Stubberts have been staying with their daughter in south Jefferson County. “We don’t know how much longer she is going to put up with us,” Jim Stubbert said. By the end of last week, as volunteers put boxes in moving trucks, the cause of the fire remained under investigation.

By Kyle Harding and Chris Rotar Staff writers Jim and Carolyn Stubbert hadn’t spent the night in their apartment in nearly two weeks when they heard the news. The couple would not be going home — other than to pack their possessions. The situation reminded Jim Stubbert of the first night after the fire that forced them from their apartment. It felt, he said, like he and his wife were “homeless again.” On April 6, as smoke filled hallways, residents were evacuated from Southview Place Towers, a senior-living community just east of downtown Littleton. More than a dozen seniors spent 10

apartment number. The building at 5820 S. Windermere St. was safe to enter but not to live in, said Andy Boian, CEO of Dovetail Solutions, a public-relations and crisis-management firm based in Denver hired by Southview’s owners. Boian said the owners are refunding residents their security deposits and a pro-rated amount of their April rent, and also giving the seniors $500 per unit to help with relocation expenses. In addition to moving help, vouchers for clothing, grocery gift cards and transportation were donated to residents by various groups. “This community has come together in every way possible to help the residents affected by this fire,” Littleton Mayor Bruce Beckman said in a news release. “I want to thank everyone involved in helping with this difficult situation.”

Volunteers from Love INC — a Christian organization that works to address unmet community needs — joined volunteers from the Boy Scouts of America, the Knights of Columbus and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints and movers provided by the property owners in hauling furniture, clothing and other belongings to moving trucks, keeping items separated by

The building and the damage done Southview Place Towers comprises two adjacent buildings that were built in the early 1970s, one on Windermere Street and one on Datura Street. The fire did not reach the Datura building. In February, the buildings were purchased for $30.5 million by Tebo-Orvis LLC, according to Arapahoe County property records. The fire, which started on the fourth floor, hit 24 apartments particularly hard. Those units are on the third, fourth and fifth floors of the building, which has 130 apartments. The investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing, but arson is not suspected, a city spokeswoman said. A letter from the ownership to the tenants said the building’s heating and air, fire alarm and sprinkler systems had been damaged and will need to be up-

graded to current safety codes. The city issued building permits for renovation less than 48 hours after the fire, said Kelli Narde, Littleton’s director of communications. “Our No. 1 priority is to ensure that life safety issues are addressed as the building is repaired,” fire marshal Tim Stover, of Littleton Fire Rescue, said in a news release. “Certain parts of the building will need to be upgraded to comply with the International Building and Fire Codes.” Boian said the owners intend to make the needed repairs and keep it a seniorliving residence. He said it is too early to know if the residents who are leaving will be given first shot at leasing refurbished units or if the rent will rise once the work is completed. While a complete overview of rental rates at Southview Place Towers was not available, a listing on the website apartmentfinder.com advertised a twobedroom, two-bath unit for $1,135 a month. That’s nearly $500 a month less than the median rate for a two-bedroom apartment in Littleton and nearby cities,

according to apartmentlist.com, which surveys rents across the nation. Unexpected news Dozens of Southview residents gathered at Littleton United Methodist Church for what they only knew was an important informational meeting April 19. Several residents said they had expected to hear they could move back within a few weeks. Some reacted with tears when they found out they could no longer live at Southview. Rose Sullivan met the news with frustration. “I’m 94 years old,” she said. “Where do I go?” At least temporarily, Sullivan is living with her daughter. But she is accustomed to being independent. “I’m so used to living by myself. I write my own checks. I pay my own rent.” Building resident Ted Lemke summed up his reaction as “shell-shocked.” Boian said the building’s ownership is working with the Red Cross and other groups to help find new homes for the

seniors. “None of these people will wind up homeless — I can ensure you that,” he said. “We have no intention of letting anyone suffer any more than they already have.” But no one could say how soon the former Southview tenants, many of whom are on fixed incomes, would be able to find new homes. Or, in a climate of high rental prices and low vacancy rates, how many would be able to continue living in Littleton. The city is noted for its senior amenities — such as the Omnibus shuttle for medical and shopping trips. Southview is a particularly desirable site, close to the Woodlawn shopping plaza and the Buck Recreation Center, a benefit for the dozens of seniors who no longer drive. Even as they were watching trucks being loaded with their belongings, many of the seniors couldn’t know if they were saying goodbye to more than just a building. “Some of them,” said Roy, of Love INC, “don’t even know where their storage is going to be.”

VOICES

LOCAL

Put up a hand, if you want to help There are many people right here in our own community who have been blessed enough and who have worked hard enough where they enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. And there are others who have worked just as hard, if not harder, but have earned less money, yet they too have been blessed with a comfortable and enjoyable life. There are also others right here in our own community who have suffered a financial setback, or have had catastrophic health issues or other situations deplete their savings and in many cases have cost them their jobs as well. And then there are those who are living paycheck to paycheck, just trying to get by while sometimes working two or three jobs just to do so. And then there always seems to be the people looking for a handout. They approach us at the gas station or they stand on the street corner with their cardboard sign. The stories are always the same, as they are either stranded, out of gas, an injured veteran, out-of-work mother of three, or that they are willing to work for food or money. Sometimes the signs are deeper as they try and tug at our heartstrings as we walk or drive by, and others just shoot straight like, “Need beer money.” Homelessness is no joke, and as much as we would like to paint everyone on the street corner with the same brush, we simply cannot. Even if 99 percent are just looking for a handout and not really a hand up, how do we know which one is which? Now don’t get me wrong, I am not trying to get us all to increase our donations or donate at all to the

cardboard sign carrying person in need on the street, that is a personal decision for each one of us as we experience those encounters. My goal here is to make two points. The first is that there are those who will benefit tremendously from a hand up and are not Michael Norton looking for a handout. An unexpected series of WINNING events or one bad deciWORDS sion has landed that person or that family in a world of hurt, and possibly homeless. And there are shelters and programs that are designed to help such people and families in need. Every church or house of worship seems to have a group, program, team or mission that focuses on people and families in need. Those are the places where our time, talents, and resources could do so much to provide people with a hand up, not just a handout. The second point is that this happens all too often in our own circle of friends and families. And what I mean is that we probably all have at least one person, adult person that is, in our lives that seems to always have their hand out for a handout. They never have money to split the lunch bill, or they have forgotten their credit card or left their wallet or purse at home. They are a few hundred dollars short on rent or their air

conditioner broke on a hot summer July day and don’t have the funds to replace it or get it fixed. And did you ever notice it’s the same people or person that always has their hand out? If we don’t stop it at some point, we are just enabling the person and the behavior. We are called to help where and when we can. We need to be discerning in our giving and assistance, always looking for opportunities where our giving will be seen and accepted as a hand up and not a handout. And when we give with a caring and discerning heart, we do so because we truly want to help. We never give as a means to put anyone in a position of “owing us” something in return. What they owe us and owe more to themselves is the effort to use the generosity given to them as a steppingstone to getting their life in order or back on track. Are you willing to give a hand up? Have you been blessed enough to do so? If so I encourage you to connect with an organization that helps people and families in need like a food bank, church, or shelter and offer what you can, large or small, it doesn’t matter. As always I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we stop giving handouts and start giving a hand up, it really will be a better than good week for you, and for at least one more person than last week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Purchase of guns prompts questions Thank you for the news about the purchase of 12 high-powered semiautomatic, military-style rifles by the Douglas County School District. Reports relate that the school board didn’t discuss or vote on the decision by Safety and Security Director Rich Payne to order the weapons. According to Mr. Payne, the district will house militarystyle weapons in a locked safe in the security office, and then deploy “if there is a situation where they need to be deployed.” Who will make that decision to deploy and on what criteria? Shouldn’t this type of purchase, and guidelines for its use, require consultation and input from the school board? I fear that the policy behind the purchase has not been properly vetted. Jerri Hill Parker Time to listen to both sides Well, here we are again with the major headline about the conservative members of the Douglas County School Board. Did you bother as good journalists to interview these two women about the situation prior to publishing this story? It seems to me this is another outright attempt — probably union backed — to get back at the school board once again. I certainly support anyone’s First Amendment right to protest. However I wonder what teacher or teachers are using their very impressionable students to serve as their surrogates for a questionable crusade. If the teachers are so concerned about their status or lack thereof in the community, stand up for yourselves and make your case. People in other professions change jobs for a variety of reasons. If they are unhappy with their situations, they present themselves to their managers seeking change. They don’t send their children to do it for them. I get it, change is hard, but let’s be more mature about handling our concerns and start listening to both sides. Marsha Jaroch Lone Tree Letters continues on Page 11

That’s like very annoying Please pass this along to someone who might benefit from it. Colorado is like a beautiful state. Colorado is like bordered by Wyoming, Nebraska, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Utah. Colorado was like named for the Colorado River. Annoying isn’t it? I thought it had gone away. It hasn’t. I was listening to talk radio the other day, and a journalist who was being interviewed couldn’t get thorough a single sentence without an unneeded, unwanted, extragrammatical “like.” Words are her career and there she was, littering her thoughts with a word that has no nutrients. I’ll bet you a velocipede she didn’t know it either. If your president, if your professor, if your physician soaked everything in “likes,” you wouldn’t like it.

eyewitnesses, and people on the street. Whenever there is a blockbuster news event, Sept. 11 for example, we listen all day and night to updates, interviews, discussions and observations. Anchors and field reporters are required to assimilate information on the run, and to present it with as much clarity as possible. Not easy. There are some that are better at it than others. I can still remember how eloquently Jim McKay was, during the 1972 Olympics crisis. “They’re all gone,” he said. When an anchor or a reporter is without a teleprompter or a script, we can really find out what they are capable of. How many, if any, “uh’s” and “um’s” are there? If there are none, you know you are listening to someone who can really talk. As Kasper Gutman said in “The Maltese Falcon, “Talking’s something you can’t do judiciously, unless you keep in practice.” The primary offenders of “like” are girls, young women, and women. Go ahead and throw Gloria Allred at me. Oh, I have heard men, mostly athletes, say it too. After his walk-off home run, a ballplayer said, “I’m like, I want to thank God.” Rumor has it that “like” was first used extra-grammatically in a teenager’s pink bedroom in the summer of 1974, in Sherman Oaks, California. The girl’s name was Mindi. (She dotted her “i’s” with hearts.) I tried to interview Mindi, 56, for this column, but she was on like a vacation. I know for a fact that some people don’t want to sound too smart. It’s true. If you sound too smart, your friends might think that you are showing them up. We sometimes lower our standards in order to fit in. It’s unwise, for example, to recite Robert Frost in a prison’s exercise yard. You don’t want to sing, “Love Will Keep Us Together,” in downtown Detroit. I am a big believer in words. Spoken and written. Words can be informative, inspirational, amusing, educational, poetic, cryptic, romantic, uttered, muttered, stammered and true. I am a logophile. That’s my ilk, my tribe, my group, my troupe, my soup, my poop and my whoop.

Board members’ actions an embarrassment In two short days this week, Douglas County School District has been sued, again, over private school vouchers, was outed on social media for planning to acquire its own arsenal of semi-automatic weapons and had two board directors asked to resign for intimidating a minor student. Board President Meghann Silverthorn showed a complete disregard for Robert’s Rules of Order, and for the student’s feelings, at the board meeting, and was obviously acting out of fear of losing her position, rather than following parliamentary procedure. When asked to recuse themselves from a vote directly affecting them, Silverthorn and board Vice President Judy Reynolds refused to do so, resulting in a blatant conflict of interest. In addition to the two aforementioned board directors, we have one director who literally “phones it in” on a regular basis, and one who couldn’t be bothered to read an e-mail and listen to an audio recording from the parents of the student who was made to meet with Silverthorn and Reynolds without her parents’ knowledge or permission. DCSD is the laughingstock of Colorado. The board and upper administration are completely dysfunctional. We need to rebuild with a board of education and administration who are in it for the students, not for their own self-interest. Silverthorn and Reynolds should resign for their actions, and take Dr. Fagen with them. Kathleen Boyer Highlands Ranch

To understand the situation where Grace was made to attend, we listened to the recording and cannot fathom how the actions of directors Silverthorn and Reynolds could be ignored. Children are our most prized possession. We were aghast learning of the actions taken to intimidate Grace Davis, a minor, by Silverthorn and Reynolds. Intimating that Grace was not able to organize her protest without the support of any adults is absurd.

a child, is never OK, especially as elected officials of a school district. The mental and physical well-being of children begins with district leadership demonstrating how the necessary actions described in the district’s code of conduct are to be put into practice. Please, put “Our Commitments” from www.dcsdk12.org/sites/ default/files/pk12education/behaviorexpectations/ CODEOFCONDUCT_2015-16.pdf, and Board Policies 1.8.3.2, 1.8.2.2, and 1.1.3 where board members shall follow protocol into action. It is necessary for Silverthorn and Reynolds to resign immediately from the Douglas County School District Board of Education. Change is difficult, but necessary to afford Grace and the rest of the students, parents, and taxpayers in Douglas County that we are safe. Kevin and Nicole DiPasquale Highlands Ranch • • • As a concerned parent and taxpayer in Douglas County, I have listened to the audio recording provided by DCSD student Grace Davis at the April 19 school board meeting, and I am appalled at the inappropriate behavior by school board president Meghann Silverthorn and vice president Judith Reynolds. Meeting with a 15-year-old student behind closed doors without the prior consent of the student’s parents or opportunity for an adult to represent her interests shows extremely poor judgment, tantamount to abuse of power by a person in a position of authority. I am requesting that both Silverthorn and Reynolds resign immediately. The intimidation of a student by two individuals who are elected officials and volunteers with the district is inexcusable. Defending those actions during the board meeting was even worse. I would like to add, since certain members of this school board continuously insist on politicizing things, that I am not — nor ever have I been — a member of a union, a Republican or a Democrat. Not that any of those things matter in this situation, but it’s becoming more and more important to point that out — this is not part of a conspiracy against “reform” and no one is paying or pressuring me to write this letter. I am a concerned parent first and foremost, who believes that members of DCSD must act with integrity and honesty. I think it is time that the school board, the superintendent, district attorneys and anyone else who tries to defend these actions take a hard look at themselves and their actions. A resignation is not enough — a public apology and legal action must come next. Our children — and our district — deserve better than this. Dana Rottman Highlands Ranch

‘Labor of love’ Community members bargain-hunt for treasures By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com

ydia Greenhalge, of Littleton, remembers rummaging through garage sales as a child. Her family lived on a tight budget. She’s now a garage sale expert. “I like saving money,” she said. “And I see it as a great recycling project.” A garage sale is more than just an outdoor pop-up shop cluttered with used items. It’s a staple of summer season alongside sporting events and barbecues. It’s a family affair, de-cluttering tool, collector’s playground— and a means of contributing to community. Garage sales started as early as the 1800s. Shipping yards sold unclaimed and used items to communities at discounted prices. They were called “rummage sales,” according to the Daily Infographic website, which collates interesting facts and figures into infographics. The term “garage sale” was coined in the 1950s and 1960s during a period of urban expansion. People were moving into homes with yards and garages. With the rise of Internet usage in the 1990s and 2000s, people started advertising garage sales online in addition to newspapers, says Daily Infographic. Greenhalge coordinates an annual two-day yard sale at South Fellowship Church, 6560 S. Broadway, Littleton. She spends more than three months collecting donations and hosts the sale

mid-April, which generates about $13,000 each year. “We do it early to get people fired up for garagesale season,” she said. People in the garage sale world know what items sell for, Greenhalge said. She barters prices: A pair of jeans marked for $5 may sell for $3. Two items may sell for the price of one. Greenhalge works with customers. “The right price is the price sellers are willing to sell for and buyers are willing to spend,” she said. South Fellowship proceeds pay for missionary trips for the church’s youth group. In 2013, members traveled to Haiti. Fundraising “takes the heat off parents,” said Greenhalge. Gabby Johnson, 16, is in the youth program and participated in this year’s sale, which took place April 22 and 23. The Highlands Ranch resident was amazed at how many people donated. The most interesting item she’s found this garage-sale season: a retro bowling ball. Garage-sale fans also can download several Internet apps to find the nearest garage sale, including YardSales.net, gsalr.com, Yard Sale Treasure Map and Garage Sales by Map. Sale continues on Page 13

RISE OF VIRTUAL GARAGE SALES For some residents, social media has replaced the traditional, front-yard garage sale. “Garage Sale Season is every day on Facebook nowadays,” said Angy Weeks, of Highlands Ranch. Several Facebook groups serve as digital secondhand stores for residents to buy and sell used household goods. The “Highlands Ranch Online Garage Sale” is an open group — many are closed and require residents to “join.” This particular

page is filled with photos of wall décor, apparel and furniture. Prices range from $5 to $150 and are clearly marked in green lettering. Attached is a “Message Seller” button. Some residents prefer the online transaction to the outdoor, popup shop. “It’s much easier than dragging it all outside and you make better money and also find awesome deals from your neighbors,” Weeks said.

Illumination from The Lumineers It’s difficult to pin down what Colorado music sounds like because we’ve had such an eclectic bunch of musicians from the state rise to prominence in the past decade or so. Rock fans might hear bands like Clarke Reader The Fray or DeVotchKa and think LINER of Colorado, while NOTES jam band fans point to the String Cheese Incident or Yonder Mountain String Band. Even electro-heads have Pretty Lights. The band that sounds most like Colorado to me is The Lumineers, and it’s thrilling to have the trio of Jeremiah Fraites, Wesley Schultz and Neyla Pekarek back after a long absence. Four years after the release of their massive, self-titled debut, the group released “Cleopatra” on April 8, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard albums chart. Not bad for a group from the Mile High State. Four years is a long time between albums, particularly in the current fickle music market. But for the band that time was crucial to recover from near constant touring from 2012 to 2014. “(We) took the right amount of time we needed to make the record we imagined, on our own timeline,” said Fraites, in a

release from the band. The group rented a house in Denver’s Wash Park and spent six weeks writing. Then, it was time for two months of recording in Woodstock, New York. “We want songs you can wrap your arms around,” Schultz said in the release. “There’s enough generic stuff out there full of recycled words that don’t really mean anything. There have to be other stories to tell, and other ways to tell them.” “Cleopatra” is very much an album full of stories, a more reflective and relaxed affair than the group’s debut. The closest The Lumineers get to the upbeat stomp of “Ho Hey” is the first single, “Ophelia,” a song that is equally infectious, but in a much more subtle way. The hook creeps up on the listener, but after those tinkling piano lines quickly set up camp in your ear. Colorado is home to some great stories, featuring characters like socialite and Titanic survivor Molly Brown and Beat

Generation leader Neal Cassady, and the penchant for storytelling is one of the main influences I hear seeping into The Lumineers’ music. They often eschew the typical verse-chorus-verse structure to tell extended stories that build as the song progresses. For example, “Cleopatra” tells the tale of a struggling actress, and the stunning “Angela” is the emotional chronicle of reunited lovers. The writing’s specificity makes the songs more relatable, as it puts the listener in someone’s shoes, instead of just speaking in generalities. The Lumineers’ old-fashioned music most conjures Colorado in my mind. I’ve long felt Colorado is best experienced with a folk rock soundtrack, and the tunes on “Cleopatra” perfectly fit the bill. The album has little in the way of electric instruments on the album — what electric guitars are used serve as sonic shadings for the songs. Melodies are instead driven by finger-picked acoustic guitars and ragtime piano. You could easily imagine the album coming from the early 1900s. And I mean that as a compliment. The song “Sick in the Head” is one of the most gorgeous songs from a musical standpoint I’ve heard in a long time, tailor-made for peacefully watching sunrises or sunsets over the Rockies. This music would sound good no matter where you’re from. But living in the state that inspired this album only adds to the affection I have for The Lumineers and Colorado. I can’t help but wonder who will be inspired here next.

ing occurs weekly in the U.S, according to Daily Infographic: • 65,000 garage sales • 690,000 people purchasing from a garage sale • 4.97 million items sold • $4.2 million generated in revenue, with the estimated item price at 85 cents. Low prices appeal to customers. “I love garage sales,” said Liz Friesen, of Highlands Ranch. “I look for clothes for my kids and underappreciated instruments.” Friesen has four children from 6 to 14

years old. She purchased all of her kids’ baby items at garage sales. Now she looks for books, high-end clothing for her daughter and musical instruments. “I can get really nice clothes for nothing,” she said. Most garage sale items are used, but still in adequate condition for someone else, reflecting the old saying, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” Kristen Lowden, of Denver, scouts garage sales for seasonal items she needs. “It usually varies between baby stuff,

Christmas and Halloween decorations and tools for the husband,” she said. Most sales have sections for leftover holiday decorations, kitchenware, clothing, shoes and accessories. Each one is a treasure hunt. The aftermath of a garage sale varies. Some, like Greenhalge, donate leftover items to nonprofit organizations. She gives to local charities, including Denver Rescue Mission, Love INC Littleton, Family Promise and mission trips overseas. It is, she said, “a labor of love.”

This music would sound good no matter where you’re from. But living in the state that inspired this album only adds to the affection I have for The Lumineers and Colorado.

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Sturgill Simpson’s “A Sailor’s Guide to Earth,” released on Atlantic records. Review: Country is too small a genre to contain Simpson, and on his third album be breaks free to add soul and funk layers to that astounding voice. The album is structured as a letter to his son, and features foot-stomping horn lines and some of Simpson’s warmest lyrics. There’s no telling where he’ll sail to next. Favorite song: “In Bloom” Most breathtakingly comforting lyrics: There will be nights that go on forever Like you’re long-lost at sea Never to be found Just know in your heart That we’re always together - from “All Around You”

TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL GARAGE SALE Organize

Get the word out

Arrange items by category so guests can easily navigate through the garage sale. Place books on a shelf instead of throwing them in a box. Hang clothes on a rack and organize by size or color.

Skip the decorated, neon-colored poster boards and go for a clean design. Make the address clear, bold and have an arrow pointing in the appropriate direction. Less is more, according to Real Simple.

Clutter can overwhelm you and your guests. If sale items are neatly displayed, a passerby may be more apt to stop.

Make your garage sale stand out by playing background music, providing finger food or setting up a lemonade stand. Invite friends, children and neighbors to help. Small additions can lift the ambiance and make your garage sale more than a front-yard exchange.

The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is located at Aspen Grove, 7301 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton. Free parking.

Bookended by a pair of classics: “Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ” and “Phantom of the Opera,” the fifth Denver Silent Film Festival moves into its new home at Littleton’s Alamo Drafthouse Cinema from April 29 to May 1. It offers a varied menu of silent films, live musical accompaniment and a pair of conversations with experts. Festival passes are available, as are single tickets. On April 29 at 7 p.m., the fivepiece Monte Alto Motion Picture Orchestra, a chamber music ensemble, will perform the orchestration for

the epic “Ben Hur: A Tale of Christ,” in the manner that first-run theaters of the era used to present films. The group plays with silent film events across the country. Well-known local pianist Hank Troy will perform with several films, including “Spies Spione” at 11 a.m. on May 1. Donald Sosin will play the piano and his wife, Joanna Seaton, will sing during “Phantom of the Opera” at 8 p.m. May 1, ending the festival on a high note. Howie Movshowitz, local film teacher and critic, is director of

the 5-year-old festival, and he and nationally recognized film preservationist David Shepard will hold a panel discussion on the “Eccentric Brilliance of Silent Comedy” at 1:30 p.m. May 1. Shepard will also appear to announce the 2016 DSFF Award winner and chat about films at 10:30 a.m. April 30. (These two events do not require tickets.) Filling in the weekend’s film programs: April 30: 12:30 p.m. — “Peter Pan”; 3:30 p.m. — “The Unholy Three”; 6 p.m. — “A Program of Short Comedies by Hal Roach”; 8 p.m. — “Spies Spione,” directed by Fritz Lang. May 1: 11 a.m. — “The Blot” and “A House Divided,” directed by Lois Weber; 3:30 p.m. — “Tol’able David”; 8 p.m. — “Phantom of the Opera.” Readers may want to reserve tickets in advance — or a festival pass. See: denversilentfilmfest.org.

Barbara Mathern spins alpaca fur at the Backyard Homesteading Fair on April 23 in Castle Rock. Rick Squires and Claudia Swenson stood at their table at the Philip S. Miller Library April 23 and explained to people how bees provide more than just honey. Bees are responsible for pollinating 80 percent of all the fruits, vegetable and seed crops in the United States, Squires said, and without them, humans could not exist very long. Beekeeping was just one of many trades explained at the Backyard Homesteading Fair, hosted by the Philip S. Miller branch of Douglas County Libraries in Castle Rock. Foraging, small animal husbandry, gardening and handcrafts, including soap making, were also included in the day designed to teach residents to live greener and more sustainable lives.

Jaguars post strong showing at meet Rock Canyon girls sixth, boys eighth at Liberty Bell By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Athletes wearing Rock Canyon uniforms finished high in the standings in event after event at the April 22 and 23 Liberty Bell Invitational Track Meet. “While we are a young team with one or two seniors on our roster, we are doing well this season,” Jaguars coach Dan Davies said. “Our boys team is strongest on the track and our field athletes are performing well. On the track, our girls are strong in the hurdles and our distance runners are doing well.” He said he is proud of his athlete’s performance as the Jaguar girls scored 33 points and ended in a three-way tie for sixth place while the boys team scored 27 points to finish eighth. Davies said there are about 55 boys and 40 girls on the team this season. Because his team is so young, he said he expects Rock Canyon to grow and get stronger each season. Rock Canyon was among about 40 teams, including a couple from Wyoming, that entered the two-day meet in Littleton.

“

Our boys team is strongest on the track and our field athletes are performing well. On the track, our girls are strong in the hurdles and our distance runners are doing well.”

Theodore and the Jaguars finished second in the race, helping Rock Canyon to finish eighth in the team standings. Photos by Tom Munds Belan Griffin passes the baton to Kaden Lathrope as the Highlands Ranch 4x200-meter relay team competes at the April 22-23 Liberty Bell Invitational Track Meet. The Falcons finished seventh in the event and Highland Ranchs finished 16th.

Laurel and Griffin Eiber are in a swimming pool most of the year, except maybe for a few trips to the ski slopes. The twins are juniors at Arapahoe High School and are among the state’s top B swimmers. But which twin is the better swimmer? R “Griffin is faster,” Laurel said. “He’s a R boy. But when you compare the competi- g K tion, we’re the same.” Griffin agreed and so does Mike t Richmond, the Arapahoe boys and girls R swimming coach. R Laurel finished third in this winter’s g 5A state championships in the 50- and 100-yard freestyles. She broke the Centennial League 50yard freestyle record held by Olympian Amy Van DykenRouen of Cherry Jim Benton Creek and is the OVERTIME school record holder in the 50 freestyle, 100 butterfly and is part of Arapahoe’s record 200 medley and 400 free relay teams. Griffin, the Warriors’ record holder in the 50, 100 and 200 freestyle events, has the state’s best times this spring of 21.12 seconds in the 50 free and 46.02 in the 100 freestyle. At last spring’s state meet, he was second in the 200 free and sixth in the 100. “Laurel and Griffin are similar in many ways athletically,” Richmond said. “Both are extraordinarily talented, similarly dedicated and committed student-athletes. “From a lighter perspective, Griffin’s weakness is getting in the water to warm up, while Laurel has been averse to including vegetables in her diet.” It’s good to know I’m not the only person who dislikes vegetables. McCaffrey comment a winner Valor Christian graduate Christian McCaffrey, last season’s Heisman Trophy runner-up as a Stanford sophomore running back, was honored at the April 19 Colorado Sports Hall of Fame banquet as the Amateur Athlete of the Year. And he came up with one of the best responses of those who were honored. “It’s nice to put on a suit and tie and actually win an award,” he said. 64-team basketball tournament rejected The Colorado High School Activities Association’s Legislative Council has spoken again. Besides passing a new bylaw to stiffen the dishonest practices and outlining penalties in the transfer processes for false and incorrect information during its session April 21, the council also rejected a proposed 64-team Class 5A and 4A basketball tournament. Both 5A and 4A will have 48-team brackets for the state tournament. It will be the same number of qualifiers for 5A but an increase from 32 teams for the 4A field. For Ponderosa, a 4A team playing basketball in the 5A Continental League, the Mustangs were in favor of the expanded 4A tournament bracket. “We were in favor of either the 64 or 48, but what we didn’t want is to have it remain at 32,” said Ponderosa Athletic Director Tim Ottmann. “We’re in a unique situation being in the Continental League Benton continues on Page 23

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF APRIL 25, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Impatience is still somewhat of a problem. But a sign of progress should soothe the anxious Aries heart. Meanwhile, invest some of that waiting time in preparing for the change ahead. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Bovines tend to excel at solving problems, not creating them. But you risk doing just that if you’re slow to respond to a timely situation. If necessary, seek advice from someone you trust. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The Gemini Twin might need to do more than a routine check of both a job-linked and home-based situation. Dig deeper for more data on both fronts to avoid unwanted surprises later. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Moon Children facing an important workplace decision are encouraged to use their perceptiveness to see through any attempt to win them over with a supercharge of fawning and flattery. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Good news catapults Leos and Leonas into reconsidering a deferred decision. But time has moved on, and it’s a good idea to recheck your plans and make adjustments where necessary. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The week favors relationships, both personal and professional. Take the time to look for and immediately repair any vulnerable areas caused by unresolved misunderstandings.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A friend’s problems bring out your protective instincts. Be careful to keep a balance between meeting the obligations of friendship without being overwhelmed by them. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The temptation to take an extreme position on an issue is strong, but moderation is favored both in personal and professional dealings. Move toward finding areas of agreement. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Getting another boss or teacher? Try to see the person behind the image. It will help you adjust more easily to the changes that new authority figures inevitably bring.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Much as you might dislike the idea, keep an open mind about using the assistance of a third party to help resolve problems that threaten to unravel an important agreement. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Music helps restore the Aquarian’s spiritual energies this week. Take someone you care for to a concert of your musical choice. Also, expect news about a workplace matter. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A challenge that seems easy enough at first could take an unexpected turn that might test your resolve. Decide if you feel you should stay with it, or if it’s better to move in another direction. BORN THIS WEEK: You can be strong when standing up for justice, both for yourself and for others.

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Heavy, wet snow fell on the south metro area April 16 and 17 and left baseball teams facing a full count trying to get fields playable to avoid stacking too many makeup games together. Ponderosa, Highlands Ranch, Mountain Vista, ThunderRidge, Legend, Castle View, Cherry Creek and Arapahoe played games at the Regency Athletic Complex at Metro State in Denver, which has an artificial turf field. Schools shared the $250 fee to rent the Metro State complex for a game. However, coaches, boosters and

Arapahoe won the girls team title with 109 points, while Rock Canyon and Castle View tied for sixth place with 33 points. Highlands Ranch was 10th with 28 points. For the Rock Canyon girls, the leading point scorer was Emily Sloan, who took first place in the 100- and 300-meter hurdles. Teammate Tanner Riker finishes sixth in the 200-meter dash and Sydney Marchando was seventh in the long jump.

administrators spent a lot of time, with a little help from some sunshine, to get fields ready to play by April 21. Varsity games were given the priority but many rescheduled lower-level games were able to be played April 21-23. Heritage coach Scott Hormann had to pump gallons of water from around home plate because of poor drainage but the field was in good shape for an April 23 game against ThunderRidge. On April 22, the Eagles played at Chaparral’s Eaton Field but it took three days of work to get the field in shape. “We shoveled the infield on Tuesday and Wednesday we came back out and shoveled the infield more,” said Wolverines coach Alan DiGiosio. “Then we started to form drainage ditches on Wednesday. Thursday we got a plow from the building and plowed all of the out-

Rock Canyon came close to scoring additional points as both the 4x400 relay and the 4x800 relay teams finished ninth, but points are only awarded to the top eight finishers. Sabercat junior Sierra Suazo helped her team as she finished first in the shot put and discus, while Castle View posted a fourth-place finish in the 4x800-meter relay. Highlands Ranch senior Madelyn Betz won the triple jump and she joined Kyriana Chambo, Megan Koch and Mogan Krusoe as members of the school’s sprint medley team that finished second.

field snow to the warning track.” On Friday morning, the snow was removed from the warning track. Douglas County was forced to postpone its home game against Highlands Ranch April 22 and moved it to April 23. “The kids shoveled and took off buckets of water trying to do everything they could but we couldn’t get it playable for the Friday game,” said Douglas County Athletic Director Jeff Gardella, “It needed another day of 70 degree weather. “The snow was so wet and you know how we are in Castle Rock. We always seem to get more snow than others. It was soaking wet. I was out three hours Thursday on the turf field trying to get it ready so we could play soccer. So when the turf field takes time to melt, you know the grass is going to take some time.”

won the boys division with 84 points while Rock Canyon was eighth with 27 points. Castle View was 15th with 16 points and Highlands Ranch finished tied for 16th with 15 points. The best finish for the Rock Canyon boys was the team of Keagan King, Chris Theodore, Andrew Steaupack and Bailey Timmons taking runner-up honors in the 4x800-meter relay.

Field events earned most of Castle View’s points as Koby Dudley finished tied for fourth in the high jump while teammate Colton Homuth finished fifth in shot put and tied for fifth in the discus. The Highlands Ranch 4x400-meter relay team had the Falcons’ best finish as the team of Richard Kepfer, Kaden Lathrop, Ray Robinson and Jacob Weidman finished third.
