Hidden talent a brushstroke away Canvas Uncorked has been open for more than a year.
Canvas Uncorked offers interactive fun, chance to discover By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Sometimes a mere brushstroke is all it takes to find the artist within. Canvas Uncorked has been tapping into the creative abilities of Parker-area residents since opening in a strip mall on the southeast corner of South Parker Road and Mainstreet in November 2013. The artand-wine studio is owned and operated by Cameron Cover, whose father is a retired art teacher from Ponderosa High School. Growing up in a home that encouraged creativity, Cover dabbled in every medium imaginable — photography, ceramics, jew-
elry, drawing, painting and weaving, just to name a few. So opening Canvas Uncorked was a fitting, almost predestined move for Cover. But it didn’t seem that way six years ago, when she felt suffocated by the confines of a corporate office. It wasn’t until she was introduced to the ultimate pairing of wine and acrylic painting that she decid-
ed it was what she wanted to do. “I love the fact that it’s an experience,” she says. “It’s not just going to a bar or going out to dinner.” As a bonus, customers take away a souvenir, one that they’re often proud of. Cover Canvas continues on Page 9
When it comes to the economy, it’s a good time to be in Douglas County. The unemployment rate in the county fell to 3.2 percent in December — a 1.5 percentage-point drop from the same time the previous year — according to data released Jan. 27 by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, The dip below 4 percent in recent months marks the first time the county has seen such healthy employment figures since 2008. Meanwhile, sales prices for single-family homes jumped throughout the county in 2014. And, according to data compiled in September by Sentier Research, Douglas County has the sixth highest median household income in the nation at $99,767. That’s nearly twice the national average of $52,300. “I think we have done our best to create an environment where people want to come and do business,” Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella said. “That is one of our long-term goals for the county.” Repella pointed to a climate of less red tape and more streamlined regulation for things like licensing and building permits, as well as the use of a business personal property tax exemption to invite and stimulate economic growth. Under the tax exemption, the first $100,000 of actual value is exempted for businesses in Douglas County. The exemption was originally created for new businesses, but has seen so much Economy continues on Page 13
Chaparral High student project boosts teachers Girl Scout’s work on Gold Award gives monthly kudos By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com A note of student gratitude left on a classroom door brought a weary Chaparral High School teacher nearly to tears recently. It was among several acts of kindness orchestrated by Chaparral student Kellyn Dassler as part of her Girl Scout Gold Award project. “That was a beautiful thing,” Chaparral teacher Damon Larson said of the messages. “Every once in a while, it’s nice to get that shot in the arm, that validation.” The Gold Award is the highest in Girl Scouting. It requires a project that provides a sustainable, lasting benefit to the girl’s larger community. Kellyn, whose mother and father both are educators, proposed a project called “Year of the Teacher 2014,” in which she would acknowledge the staff at her high school in some unique way each month. “I saw the teachers working really hard, especially with all the changes going on,”
she said. “I decided it would be great to show how we appreciate them.” Starting in August 2014, Kellyn enlisted the help of several CHS student clubs to host a teacher car wash, babysitting night, breakfast and gratitude notes, among other projects. Teachers said the gestures have been heartwarming. “I love, love, love teaching, and don’t want to do anything else,” said French teacher Carolyn Ford. “But it is an incredibly tough job. “We know our students appreciate us; there are a lot of ways they show it. But this is an organized concerted effort. And not only do the projects Kellyn is doing help us feel good, they actually help us in concrete ways.” Leaving the school on Friday with a clean car means there’s one less job waiting on the weekend to-do list, Ford said. Larson, who’s been part of the Chaparral staff since the Parker high school opened, said Kellyn’s projects have brought the community closer. “We work hard academically, on the Girl scouts continues on Page 9

Online list gives three DougCo schools an A+ Colorado School Grades uses state data to assign letter grades By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Three Douglas County elementary schools — two of them charters — earned an A-plus rating in this year’s Colorado School Grades rankings. Parker Core Knowledge, Platte River Academy and Redstone Elementary were rated top performers on the list. Parker Core Knowledge was rated first among 1,101 elementary schools. It tied with eight other elementary schools for the No. 1 spot in the state. Launched in 2011, the coalition of 18 education-focused organizations that form Colorado School Grades translates Colorado Department of Education data into letter grades. In Douglas County, the most common grade — 39 out of 89 rated — was a B. A total of 17 got an A; 29 scored a C. The only DCSD schools receiving D and F ratings were eDCSD and three levels of Hope Online. Ratings for Douglas County schools dropped from 2012 to 2013, but showed little change from 2013 to 2014. In 2012, 26 of 85 schools graded received an A, 38 a B and 16 a C. The Douglas County School District said Colorado School Grades is not a comprehensive measurement. “Colorado School Grades is one tool that utilizes mostly CDE (Transitional Colorado Assessment Program) TCAP results,” DCSD spokeswoman Paula Hans wrote in an email, referring to the annual state standardized test. “This is just one data point and does not capture the true performance and excellence found in our schools and demonstrated by our students. “Even by this measure, the district and our schools are wonderful places for students, and we want more. One test score on one day is not enough data for our staff, parents and students.” The Colorado School Grades’ coalition includes the Independence Institute, Morgridge Family Foundation, Daniels Fund, Walton
Family Foundation, Colorado Black Chamber of Commerce, Urban League of Metropolitan Denver and the Anschutz Foundation, among others. Many of the organizations support education reform and increased educational options, but spokeswoman Kristina Saccone said Colorado School Grades’ goal here is to make it easy for parents to see how a school is performing. The University of Colorado at Denver and R-Squared Research calculate the grades using the same variables and weights as the CDE’s School Performance Framework, according to Colorado School Grades’ website. “We’re just using the data and making it transparent for parents so they can make a good choice for their child,” Saccone said. “There really isn’t any other agenda.” CDE data is difficult for parents to decipher, she said, and website visits for Colorado School Grades suggest consumers like it. “I think Colorado School Grades is ubiquitous with school ratings in Colorado,” she said. “Our site numbers and metrics are very good.” CDE confirmed Colorado School Grades’ uses its data, “but norms the results to assign letter grades to schools,” according to an email from spokeswoman Megan McDermott. The following is a further look at the schools that received an A-plus grade.
Parker Core Knowledge
Parker Core Knowledge, which recently celebrated its 20th year, now can add another feather to its school cap. Director Teri Aplin attributes its high rating to good preparation, high-quality teachers and hard-working students. “Our children are prepared in the grade before, so the teacher is able to take them and move them up,” she said. “We have highquality, highly effective teachers. And I think the third part is just hard-working students who are interested in learning and work hard to succeed. They have to be very diligent students here to be successful because there’s a lot expected of them.” That hard work is tempered with genuine affection, she said. “I think the students all know they’re cared for,” she said. “That’s an intangible that’s hard

to quantify. Even vendors comment that it feels different. This school’s always had this special something.”
Platte River Academy Principal Mike Munier, of Platte River Academy in Highlands Ranch, is pleased but not surprised by his school’s A-plus grade and ranking at 14th among 1,101 elementary schools statewide. “No matter what kind of test you throw at them, I’ve always thought our kids would do fine,” he said. “They’re just well-rounded students. But it’s nice to be recognized.” Like Parker Core Knowledge, Platte River emphasizes high academic expectations with homework to reinforce classroom lessons. “As we’re teaching them the skills of reading, mathematics and writing, they’re dealing with challenging content that really does test them and get them thinking in different directions,” Munier said. “When you come to Platte River, you kind of know what to expect in terms of curriculum, cultural experience and philosophy. People choose Platte River because it fits who and what they are as a fam-

ily, the learning style of their student.”
Redstone Elementary Since the site debuted in 2011, the Highlands Ranch neighborhood school has shot to the top of the Colorado School Grades list. It received an A-plus grade in 2014, and tied for 14th with Platte River. “We’ve gone from being 115th four years ago to being ranked 14th,” said Principal Laura Wilson, who attributes that in part to a longstanding relationship with her teachers. “I’ve had the luxury of being with my staff for 10 years, pushing them, them trusting me and me trusting them — which I think is huge,” she said. “They continuously learn and grow, and it’s all about the kids.” Redstone is unique within DCSD for its iPad program. In 2012, it ensured each student had an iPad. Recently, the Apple computer company named it an Apple Distinguished School, recognizing its innovation, leadership and educational excellence.

Power line hearing draws near State agency takes stance against Xcel’s proposed expansion By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Parker residents and a state agency charged with protecting consumer interests aren’t giving up the fight against a controversial power line project. An administrative law judge for the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, a state agency that decides on requests for major utility upgrades, recommended that the agency approve a “certificate of public convenience and necessity” to construct the Pawnee-Daniels Park 345kV Transmission Project late last year. A three-member committee for the PUC is scheduled to hear “exceptions” — essentially a final round of appeals from opponents to stop the system upgrade — sometime in the coming weeks, although a date has not been specified. Homeowners in several Parker neighborhoods, including Rowley Downs and Canterberry Crossing, have gotten involved, and a grassroots group called “Halt the Power Lines” was created by those who are concerned about potential health impacts of electromagnetic frequencies, blocked views, increased noise and diminished property values.
MORE INFORMATION Xcel Energy plans to add 345-kilovolt transmission lines and poles between 100 and 150 feet high on an easement where 100-foot lattice towers already carry 230kV transmission lines. The transmission line would extend from the Brush, Colo.,-area to a substation in Daniels Park, just north of Castle Pines. The corridor runs through or near several Parker-area neighborhoods, including Livengood Hills, Rockinghorse, Ponderosa Hills, Bell Cross Ranch, the Villages of Parker, Canterberry Crossing, Rowley Downs, Willow Park, Neu Towne, Newlin Meadows and Regency.
The project includes the construction of approximately 115 miles of new 345kV transmission poles and lines, of which five miles are located in the Town of Parker, along an existing utility corridor. The Office of Consumer Counsel, a separate state agency that’s part of the Department of Regulatory Agencies, has taken a stance against the $178 million project. The OCC, which represents residential customers and small commercial customers, has publicly said that Xcel didn’t do a good enough job proving a need for the Pawnee-Daniels Park line upgrade. Chris Neil, a rate and financial analyst for the Office of Consumer Counsel, said Xcel’s own reports indicated that “there are lots of places where they could add more capacity, and they didn’t need this transmission line to use those stations,” he said. Minor upgrades to existing plants that provide power for Xcel, including the Fort St. Vrain Generating Station near Platteville, the Rocky Mountain Energy Center in Keenesburg and the Blue Spruce En-
ergy Center in Arapahoe County, would cover energy needs for years to come in the southwest portion of the metro area, he said. “This is a fairly large project and we felt it was very important for us to go after a project of this size, especially with the lack of justification for the project,” Neil said. There was no immediate response from an Xcel spokesman to Neil’s comments. The administrative law judge who recommended approval of the Pawnee-Daniels Park line bumped the project timeline back because Xcel said that it wasn’t needed until 2024. If approved, construction will begin in 2020 and the line would be operational by 2022. The previous start time was in 2017, with the line becoming active in 2019. “In subsequent filings we have asked to be allowed only to start the related substation project, Harvest Mile, according to original schedule,” said Mark Stutz, senior media representative for Xcel. Stutz has said the entire line is necessary to maintain reliable energy transmis-

sion for current and future customers. “The project will satisfy a current need to increase the reliability of the existing transmission system and a future need to add capacity for future growth in a region where there is a substantial possibility that there will in fact be new generators interconnecting to our system,” according to Xcel’s request for the certificate of public convenience and necessity, which it submitted in March 2014. Land-use regulations typically try to follow established corridors to minimize the proliferation of multiple corridors and “alternative corridors may be infeasible due to the absence of a continuous path of open land of sufficient width,” the request said. On its Facebook page, “Halt the Power Lines” characterized the judge’s recommendation as “poorly reasoned.” Neighbors and the OCC have filed dozens of exceptions. Neil suggested that the line is a moneymaking opportunity for Xcel, to the detriment of ratepayers. But he believes the three PUC commissioners will listen to input from all parties involved. “If there is a lot of local opposition, it can outweigh a weak need for a project,” he said. A date and time for the meeting in which the committee is expected to deliberate on the exceptions will be announced two days beforehand on the PUC’s website, www dora.colorado.gov/PUC. Meetings take place on Wednesdays.

Judge uses kindness to get results Bonnie McLean, of Parker, appointed by governor last fall
‘I do not want people to come into my courtroom and be intimidated because I don’t think that gives us the best result’ Bonnie McLean,
By Chris Michlewicz

McLean
Fairness, accountability and understanding reign in Bonnie McLean’s court. McLean, a Parker resident since 2001, was appointed by Gov. John Hickenlooper in September to fill a seat left vacant by the retirement of 18th Judicial District Court Judge Vincent White. She began presiding over cases in mid-January. People who find themselves on the wrong side of the law could only hope for their case to be handled by McLean. While some judges are notorious for making examples out of offenders, McLean represents the compassionate side of the bench. Her top priority is to affect positive change in the lives of those who appear before her, whether by traditional or inventive means. Instead of seeing offenders as the next name on the docket, McLean becomes fully invested in their lives, and relishes the visits she gets from former defendants who thank her for putting them on a better track. “I don’t care if I’m in the middle of a 50-person docket,” she says. “If a former juvenile (offender) wants to stop and say ‘hi,’ I’ll take a few minutes to chat with them.” McLean worked as a clerk for a juvenile court judge while attending law school at the University of Denver, and it solidified her desire to become an attorney, as well as her passion for helping kids. She went on to serve as a deputy district attorney in the
18th Judicial District, which covers Douglas, Arapahoe, Elbert and Lincoln counties, and was appointed as county court magistrate at age 32. For the last four years, McLean has been exposed to a range of different types of cases while serving as a district court magistrate. The role enabled her to focus on “problem-solving” courts, including specialized courts for drug offenders, defendants with mental health issues, and military veterans. The programs rely more on rehabilitation than incarceration. “Traditional court intervention is not always that effective in these types of cases,” she said. “This is innovative and treatmentbased and it adds an extra layer of accountability. We’re getting better results.” The programs are rooted in frequent court intervention and a series of incentives and sanctions that result in “intense behavior modification,” she says. Theresa “Traci” Slade, an 18th Judicial District Court judge, said McLean lobbied for and developed the specialty courts, which have since become a model for other agencies to follow. “She’s so patient with people, yet firm enough that she is able to convince people to make the change that they always knew

they needed to make,” Slade said. Because of the staff and space needed to accommodate proceedings in the James Holmes theater shooting trial, McLean has started out at the Douglas County Justice Center handling domestic relations cases from Arapahoe County. As a district court judge, she will invariably be assigned by 18th Judicial Chief District Judge Carlos Samour to different types of cases, which she believes will make her a more well-rounded judge. Her gentle approach is a natural extension of her inviting personality. McLean is aware of the public perception that judges are no-nonsense hardliners, “but that’s not who I am, and I’m not going to change who I am.” “I do not want people to come into my courtroom and be intimidated because I don’t think that gives us the best result,” said McLean, who at 40 is younger than most district court judges. “I try to put the litigants at ease so they feel free to open up.” That was evidenced by a recent gradu-
ation ceremony for participants in the Veterans Treatment Court. When everyone got down and gave 20, McLean was right there beside them doing push-ups in her robe. McLean’s transition into her new position as district court judge should be a smooth one because there are still a “lot of places to make that real human connection,” Slade said. “There are so many opportunities to make some significant changes in people’s lives and opportunities to change their course that you get to be involved in as a judge or a magistrate,” Slade said. “She’s perfect for this job.” For someone who “never gave a whole lot of thought to being a judge,” McLean is an example of the type of forward-thinking adjudicator who is shaping the future of substantive resolution in an arena starving for such advances. “You have to realize at the end of the day that these are people’s lives and the decisions you make affect these people’s lives,” she said. “You don’t take that lightly.”

Choose what to fly, and then fly it high We have a very exciting event that will create a very unique opportunity here in Colorado this year. The World Cup Championships will be held in Vail and Beaver Creek and we will be hosting guests from all over the country and all over the world. Now even though you may not be into skiing or ski racing, and you may not even live in the Vail Valley, it is still a pretty amazing event that will allow the racers to showcase their skills in an unbelievable venue. And it will also provide each one of us with an opportunity to showcase our special gifts and skills. As the competitors and guests arrive from all over the world, we will see jackets, shirts, hats, pins, banners and flags celebrating their home countries. We will see and hear our international guests who have come to watch the event as they speak in their languages and in some cases do their best to interact with us in English. Many of them will also be very fluent in English. This will be a very exciting time for Colorado. And as I thought about this, I thought about the fact that guests will not just be going to Vail and Beaver Creek — many will undoubtedly come early and stay longer to experience Denver and other communities. And as they do, we have that unique op-
portunity to showcase who we are and why Colorado is such an amazing place to live. So which flag will you be flying? Maybe there is a country that you come from or your ancestors came from and where you still feel a sense of patriotism. Maybe there is an athlete you like to watch and root for. But as I think about what other flags we could be flying as we host so many guests, I think about the flags of friendship, hospitality, customer service, compassion, kindness and so many other positive messages that we could make sure that our guests see in us and experience through us. Then I thought about it a little further and wondered what flag it is that people see when they see me all year long. What flag do they see you flying all year long? You see, our flag is like our brand, people associate it with
how they see us and how they see us in action. How they see us as we treat others and interact with the community. So it’s not just about the World Cup Championships going on in our state, it’s about our brand and the flag that others see hanging over our homes, our businesses, and over our heads. It could be those same flags of friendship, hospitality, customer service, compassion and kindness as mentioned before. Or perhaps it could be other flags, like flags of honesty, integrity, hard work, commitment, love, forgiveness, chivalry and fun loving. And just like throughout the year when we can clearly see college flags and professional team flags waving from garages and cars demonstrating fans’ love and loyalty to their teams, people can clearly see our brand, and who we are from a mile away. So which flag are you flying? What is it that you hope people will see in you? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we allow others to see all the good in each of us, it really will be a better than good week.

I feel I must reply to Barbara Morton’s letter in the recent edition of the paper in her reply to my letter commenting on Diane Schrack’s letter on the Douglas County Sheriff’s training facility on South Santa Fe. She wrote several prevarications of facts that should be corrected. One prevarication of the truth is that she stated “guns cause more deaths in this country than any other ‘civilized’ country.” According to Wikipedia, she is entirely wrong in her statement. They list 12 countries that have more deaths than the United States, one of which is Jamaica. I would think Jamaica is civilized. Another untruth she attacked me on is that she stated that “he and his Glock and AK-47 can sleep well at night.” I do not own a Glock or AK-47! I do carry as my duty a 9mm pistol with a concealed-carry permit. I am also considering volunteering for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Reserve Deputy Academy program. With this letter I just want to set the record/truth straight and not attack her as she did me. As a very proud conservative I do not act as liberals so often do
before getting their facts straight. Keith Wanklyn Highlands Ranch
Don’t treat grandma like a dying dog The latest bill before the Colorado House would legalize physician assisted suicide. In cruder terms, “Grandma, why not consider suicide and end your suffering.” But she deserves to draw every last breath naturally, just as you do. If there wasn’t an inherent value of life, then why do people go to the ends of the earth to find life-saving treatments for everything from heart valve malfunctions to cancer enduring chemo, life-saving operations and the like? Why? Because every life has value, even if that life is painful. Suffering is a part of life, in case you haven’t noticed. Just because grandma’s pain is great does not mean her life has less value. When my mom was at the end of her life, I had the great opportunity to return, in a unique way, the love she had given me all my life. To be there in her final moments and minister to her needs, was a time I will always treasure, difficult thought it was, for both of us. To take that time away from families in the form

of legalized suicide is to deprive grandma’s family the opportunity to minister to her and return love in a special way. When my dog was dying, we had her “put down.” It was sad, but she was a dog, not my mom, and while the dog’s life had value, it was not on equal footing with my mom. No one wants to see a person suffer, but suffering is a part of the human condition. Every life has value and the end is in God’s hands and should remain there. Spend those last moments with grandma, however difficult they may be, reciprocating love and enduring it together. Leave euthanasia for the pets. Kitty Nierling Centennial
Life as a club swim parent Eleven years. Eleven years as a parent of club swimmers. It comes to an end in August when my youngest daughter begins school at the University of Northern Colorado. She will swim there, and if all goes well, graduate in four years. My oldest is at Colorado State, studying business and swimming. What does the end of this 11 years mean? We no longer have to consult swim meet schedules
to determine if we can schedule something. No more rising at 5:30 on weekends to pack snacks; check equipment (goggles, suits and Gatorade). No more sitting on uncomfortable benches for five hours to watch your kid compete for approximately 10 minutes. We have watched the girls endure all types of coaches — good, bad, nice, mean, personable, standoffish and banned. Some had more than one of the aforementioned traits. We have seen countless tears, cheers, made cuts and missed cuts. We have spent tens of thousands of dollars over the years for suits, travel, club expenses and equipment. The girls, what did they get? They learned sportsmanship, time-management skills, fitness and lifelong relationships. They trained harder than just about any other known sport. They put in eight practices a week, including two a days requiring them to rise at 4:30 on school days. Will we miss it? Are you kidding? I would do it all over in a splash. My only regret is this chapter is coming to an end and not just beginning. John Salanitro Highlands Ranch

Canvas
JOSIE KNOWS THE POSE Vibrant paintings of all kinds decorate the walls at Canvas Uncorked, but they’re not the first thing people notice when they walk through the door. That honor goes to Josie, a gigantic yet friendly English mastiff that greets everyone with a tail wag and, if they’re lucky, a foot sitting.
Continued from Page 1
and artist/instructor Caylee Siemens say firsttimers regularly discover a hidden talent and it inspires and motivates them to paint again. Encouragement also comes in liquid form. Wine and beer are served at Canvas Uncorked, loosening inhibitions and sparking some imaginative if not intriguing ideas. The end result sometimes “depends on how much they’ve had to drink,” Cover says with a laugh. “Happy accidents,” as legendary oil artist Bob Ross once put it, happen on canvas, but can also occur in the immediate vicinity. “We tell them ‘don’t drink your water cup or dip your paintbrush in your wine,’” Cover says. “They’re usually painting with the same hand they’re drinking with.” It’s all in good fun because Canvas Uncorked is a judgment-free zone, where people can either go off on their own tangent or follow the instructor step by step. Cover likened the class process to “paint by numbers for adults,” and the instructors make a point to not leave anyone behind, especially those who are painting for the first time. “We stop and make sure to help everyone. We don’t keep going and shove through,” said Cover, who lived in Elizabeth for 20 years before moving to Parker last year. “We make sure they go home with something they like.” Canvas Uncorked maintains a relaxed atmosphere, where music is played at a low level and customers are allowed to bring in food, like sushi or cheese-and-cracker platters. The wine-and-painting phenomenon swept the country over the last five years and Colorado was no exception. There are similar businesses in Lone Tree, Centennial and Cas-
Josie mostly serves as the studio’s unofficial mascot, but she’s also an accomplished model. When asked, the canine obediently lumbers to the front of the instructor’s stage to strike an elegant pose, and she appears to genuinely enjoy the spotlight. Occasionally, she’ll sprawl out on her back with all four paws dangling adorably, although that trick is reserved for the moments when Josie wants to redirect the conversation from painting back to her.

Kellyn’s endeavors just reinforce that.” The project wraps up in May, and Kellyn’s final report will be submitted to Girl Scout leaders.

dios. Canvas Uncorked, of course, doesn’t veer away from the favorites, like Vincent Van Gogh’s “Starry Night,” and it hosts “Painting the Masters” Monday once a month, allowing people to try their hand at classic pieces by renowned artists. Canvas Uncorked also hosts “Paint Your Pet” night in which class members send photos of their pet in advance to be sketched. They can then fill it in with any colors they desire for an abstract piece, or try for a more realistic look. “Everyone has different ideas of what they want,” Siemens says. Wine and painting is ideal for date nights, birthday parties, family reunions, office parties and family outings, but individuals can come in for open painting from 1-4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday each week. Classes cost $35 per person Sunday through Thursday and $40 on Fridays and Saturdays; the fee includes all supplies (beer and wine are extra).

for her efforts. “This has made me feel more a part of my school,” she said. “It’s also made me more aware of different needs. A lot of times as students, I don’t think we realize the different perspective of the staff at our schools. “Ideally, I’d like to approach other schools about doing something similar — beyond the walls of Chaparral into all of Douglas County and in other schools.” To read more about Kellyn’s project, visit https://gscoblog.wordpress. com/2015/01/08/girl-scout-honors-teachers-with-yearlong-project/.

Douglas district reschedules summit Innovation expo will showcase reform efforts for other districts By Jane Reuter
jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com A three-day event — designed to showcase and share with others the Douglas County School District’s efforts to change education — is planned from Feb. 18-20 with sessions at Lone Tree’s Denver Marriott South hotel and in various schools. The Innovation Summit originally was scheduled for June 2014. It was rescheduled because February works better for both the district and those interested in attending, according to DCSD. To date, 37 people have registered for the event. Described on the district’s website as “an unprecedented opportunity to collaborate on the reinvention of American education,” the event will include sessions on student assessments, school choice, teacher evaluations and pay structures, safety, site-based budgeting and other topics. Participants will visit schools to “see classrooms of the future in DCSD today” and “meet teachers and students engaged in 21st-century learning,” according to the site.
There is no registration fee for participants. DCSD originally planned the June event with a charge of $200 per participant or $400 for teams of two or more, but dropped fees from the rescheduled event. The removal of fees was designed to make it more affordable for districts that would like to attend, according to DCSD. Parent Meg Masten, who has been critical of many of DCSD’s reforms, is concerned about the cost of the event and how DCSD will be portrayed to participants. “I worry that those attending the summit will see a carefully crafted view of DCSD that fails to shed light on all the unfunded needs we have, as well as the poor parent and staff satisfaction levels,” she said, adding she is not convinced the event costs are completely covered by non-district funds. “The district staff time that is being spent to promote, develop and execute an event of this magnitude is significant. This amount of effort should, instead, be applied toward the school- and classroom-level needs, where it would have a direct impact on the education of children.” The rental of the venue, materials for attendees, and other expenses will be paid for through grants made to the Douglas County Educational Foundation specifically for the event, according to DCSD spokeswoman Paula Hans. Hans did not respond when asked
who had provided the funding, but said the grants will cover event-related expenditures. School leaders said the Innovation Summit is not only a way to showcase the district’s work, but to exchange ideas with others who are undertaking major changes in the field of education. “We know many districts across the country share our goals and are our partners in the reinvention of American education,” the site reads. “This is an opportunity for us to gather together and talk about the work we share, things that we’ve learned, things that we’ve done well and things that we can do better together.” DCSD’s website describes the summit as “the perfect place to light the spark of change at your school or district or continue work that has already begun.” Douglas County School Board president Kevin Larsen said the district frequently hosts curious guests from other districts, and the summit will be an opportunity to exchange information with a broader audience. “We get a lot of inquiries from outside educators to come visit that can become disruptive when peppered sporadically throughout the calendar,” he said. “Holding this event in a concentrated few days allows this collaboration to be more efficient and productive.” For more event information, visit www.dcsdk12.org/innovation-summit.

On Jan. 22, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to a criminal mischief call in the area of Jordan Road and Lincoln Avenue. The reporting party said there were gang symbols spray painted under a bridge. A deputy went to the area and found the graffiti just east of Little People’s Landing daycare. There were four distinct tags along the walls; one was legible as “Ghost.” It is unknown when the graffiti was painted but it appeared to be fresh, the deputy said. The staff at Little People’s Landing said when school lets out, there are a lot of kids who walk through their parking lot and cross under Jordan Road on the trail. There were no suspects.

Parker Adventist recognized On Jan. 20, several Centura Health hospitals received the Healthgrades 2015 Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence. The distinction placed four Centura Health hospitals in the top 5 percent of the more than 4,500 hospitals evaluated nationwide based solely on outstanding clinical performance as measured by Healthgrades, an online resource for information about physicians and hospitals.
Centura Health hospitals recognized by Healthgrades with the 2015 Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence include Parker Adventist Hospital, Littleton Adventist Hospital, Penrose-St. Francis Health Services in Colorado Springs, and Porter Adventist Hospital in Denver. The 261 recipients of the Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence stand out among the rest for overall clinical excellence across a broad spectrum of care. During the 2015 study period (2011-13), the hospitals showed superior performance in clinical outcomes for patients in the Medicare population across at least 21 of 32 of the most common inpatient conditions and procedures — as measured by objective performance data (risk-adjusted mortality and in-hospital complications).

Learn more about C-470 Corridor project Open-house meetings will take place at 6 p.m. on Feb. 10 and 11 at the Highlands Ranch Metro District Office, 62 Plaza Drive, so the community can receive updates on the C-470 Corridor project. The proposed action for the project includes the addition of tolled express lanes on C-470 between I-25 and Kipling Parkway with the intent to address traffic congestion, reduce traveler delay and improve trip reliability. The first phase of construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2016. Attendees of the open houses will learn general project information, the evaluation of traffic-noise impacts, recommendations for traffic-noise mitigation and the environmental assessment. Attendees will have opportunities for discussion of these topics. Both meetings are open to the public, and the same information will be presented on both dates. They are hosted by the Colorado Department of Transportation and the C-470 Corridor Coalition. More information on the project can be found on CDOT’s website at www.codot.gov/projects/c470ExpressLanes.
Sheriff to shave mustache for cancer research
happiness Please Join Us! Intergenerational Art Show Open House Saturday, Feb 21 • 10am-2pm
Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock is joining the effort to help cure childhood cancer by volunteering to shave off his mustache — one he has had for more than 30 years. But a certain amount of money must be raised in order for him to do so, said his wife, Stacy, who is organizing the event. She is going through the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, which is “a volunteer-driven charity dedicated to raising money for life-saving childhood cancer research and funds more in childhood cancer grants than any organization except for the U.S. government.” The local event is proposed to take place on March 14 at the Douglas County Events Center, but details are yet to be determined. To donate to the sheriff’s cause to benefit the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, visit www.stbaldricks.org. From the homepage, click on “our community,” and choose “events.” Then type in “Castle Rock, CO” in the “find events” box. Click on the green “donate” box, which will then open the donation page where an online donation form will open.

success that the county has now made it available to all businesses. “We believe in strategic investment,” Repella said. Andrea LaRew, the president of the Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce, said the ability of all of the county’s municipalities to work in tandem to promote the county as a whole has also played a key role. “The people who work in economic development in the county do a great job of putting Douglas County front and center to attract new businesses,” LaRew said. Douglas County’s jobless rate compares favorably to both that of Denver (4.2 percent) and the state as a whole (4 percent), though both saw improvements in the latest figures over 2013. The last time the Colorado unemployment rate was as low as 4 percent was October 2007, before the recession slammed the nation. For Douglas County, the employment numbers only tell part of the story. As one of the most prosperous areas in the state, Douglas County has also seen a substantial rise in home values. “We always say ‘location, location, location,’ but it’s not just the place,” said Jeff Wasden, vice chair of public affairs for the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce and president of the Colorado Business Roundtable. “It’s about everything around the place. The schools, having a community where people feel safe, it’s about the quality of life people can have here. It’s the combination of everything that builds a community where people want to live, work and play.” According to the Douglas Elbert Realtor Association, the median sale price of a single-family home in Douglas County in 2014 was $375,000 and the average sale price was $432,208. Both figures represent about a 9 percent rise over 2013. “These numbers really are all related,” Repella said. “When you create a place where people want to come and invest, that investment touches the rest of the community — more people want to move to the community and buy homes and live and work here.”

W W I I g e n e r a t i o n’ Red Cross volunteers saving the fading memories
By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lt. Col. Ken Yaphe recently retired from the Air Force, and now he’s giving back to those who marched before him — and getting an earful in return. “It’s an education, and I feel like I’m contributing,” he said. Yaphe is volunteering with Mile High Red Cross on the Library of Congress Veterans History Project of the American Folklife Center, on a mission to “collect, preserve and make accessible the personal accounts of American war veterans so that future generations may hear directly from veterans
and better understand the realities of war,” according to the Red Cross website. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, approximately 492 World War II veterans pass away every day in the United States, more than one death every three minutes. “The sad fact is that we are at the twilight of the World War II generation, and within a few short years, their stories will be lost forever,” said Chuck Montera, a publicist for Holly Creek Retirement Community in Centennial. That’s where Yaphe spent Jan. 27, visiting with some of the 50-plus World War II-era veterans who live there and recording their stories. The videos will live in perpetuity at the Library of Congress, and will be given to the vets to share with
family and friends. To be included in the project or to volunteer, contact the American Red Cross at 303-607-4785. Yaphe says that without fail, the veterans he’s interviewed have been modest about their service, whether overseas in battle or on American soil, keeping the gears of war oiled. “It’s tempting for the public to believe that the only experience in war is in the infantry,” he said. “But this is giving exposure to the machine that supported the tip of the spear.” Colorado Community Media spent some time with four of the Holly Creek veterans and what follows is a glimpse into their stories.
Picking up the pieces
Peeling his share of potatoes

Seaman First Class Robert Stong spent most of his World War II service at Naval Station Norfolk in Virgina, picking up pieces of planes that practicing pilots crashed. “One time, I recall, the pilot was lying on the wing getting a suntan when we got there,” said the native of Layfayette, Ind. — “a little drinking town with a football problem,” as he calls it. He never saw an injured pilot, as they were taken away before he and the team he led got to the crash site. Once there, they’d load the plane onto a trailer — whatever was left after the nearby farmers got enough aluminum to fix their chicken
Keith Burnham, 88, joined the service two days before his 18th birthday in December 1944. He was deployed in June 1945 and ranked as a fireman first class in the Navy, assigned to the USS Burleson. Aboard the ship, Burnham was assigned to the boiler room with the job of regulating the amount of oil to the amount of air to make a smoke screen, he said. “Everything was eight hours on, and eight hours off,” Burnham said. And if the eight hours off fell during the daytime, there were other chores, such as cleaning, to be done. “I did my fair share of peeling potatoes.” Most of the ship’s assignments came
coops — and head on down the highway back to the base. One guy would have to stand on the plane’s tail to raise power and phone lines up high enough to pass underneath. It didn’t always work, said Stong, and they’d joke that they were probably yanking people’s phones right out of their walls. “It was a lot of fun,” he said. Today, Stong appreciates the discipline he gained from serving in the military. “It does a lot of good for a lot of kids,” he said. — Jennifer Smith
two at a time, he said, and included two trips to retrieve discharged troops returning home. Eventually, the USS Burleson was assigned to take animals to nuclear testing at Bikini Atoll. There were all sorts of animals, Burnham said, and the ship became known as Noah’s Ark. Burnham described his experience in the service as fortunate. “The war was about over before I got into any real battles,” he said. He added that he’s grateful he “got to join the Navy rather than being drafted in the Army.” — Christy Steadman
Playing with the dogs of war ‘Y’ was his lucky letter

Herbert Bowman, 86, joined the military on his 18th birthday on June 21, 1946. His reason for joining was to get the education package as part of the GI Bill. A person received two months of schooling for each month of service, Bowman said. “That was very attractive to me,” he said, and he later went on to earn a degree in nuclear physics. Bowman, a private in the Army Corps of Engineers, was sent to Los Alamos, N.M., a secret site where the atomic bomb was being designed and built. Although Bowman had always been a “techy,” he said, his responsibility was to train war dogs, specifically, the K9 unit that provided area security.
In 1944, Storekeeper First Class Paul Youngren missed being deployed with the USS Lexington by just a few letters. “Luckily for me, they started with the beginning of the alphabet,” said Youngren. Instead, he stayed at Pearl Harbor, overseeing the Navy’s shopping center. “I felt fortunate to be in a supporting role and not fighting,” he said. Pearl Harbor was still a grim scene, he said, with damage from the Japanese attack still evident and the USS Arizona still in the harbor. “They eventually had to give up trying to recover the bodies,” said Youngren. “They’re still entombed in the hull of the ship.” Even though he missed serving on the
“It was a rather unique service,” Bowman said, and “it was about as good a duty you could ask for —playing with dogs for five or six hours a day.” There were different kinds of war dogs, which included messenger and casualty dogs. All were highly trained animals, but Bowman’s dog, King, a German shepherd, was a silent scout dog, he said, which were the highest trained and expected to perform equivalent to today’s police dogs. After the war ended, Bowman got to sit in on lectures from the country’s greatest scientists, and ironically, went back to Los Alamos to work on nuclear weapons development. — Christy Steadman
USS Lexington, it played a large role in his military career. It carried him from San Francisco to Pearl Harbor, zigzagging all the way to avoid possible enemy submarines. “I had no problem with being seasick,” he said. “That was not the case for everybody, though.” Later, he helped decommission the aircraft carrier in a San Diego port. He was in charge of the storerooms, and collecting items that could be used elsewhere. It gave him the chance to watch pilots practice landing on the ship. “This is quite a sight to see,” he said. “As a young kid, it was exciting.” — Jennifer Smith

Cindy Parsons, regional vice president of public relations for Comcast, will serve as the 2015 chair of Visit Denver, the Convention and Visitors Bureau. She replaces Joe Ellis, president and CEO of the Denver Broncos, who served as 2014 chair. Parsons has long been active in Denver communications and public relations and has served on the Visit Denver Board since 2009. In her current position, Parsons is responsible for Comcast’s external affairs, including media relations, communications, community outreach and Comcast Foundation programs across the region. Prior to that, she led communications for Comcast’s West Division, developing media relations strategies and tactics for product roll-outs and community outreach. Prior to Comcast, she held a variety of public relations and community investment roles for AT&T Wireless in the western part of the United States. “I look forward to continuing
the legacy of strong, committed leadership at the Bureau and following up on the record-breaking years that Denver’s tourism industry has enjoyed since 2005,” Parsons said. She noted that since 2005, Denver’s tourism has increased 48 percent, versus national tourism which increased only 15 percent over the same time period. “Denver had its strongest convention year ever in 2014, and we will be working on many cooperative marketing programs with the city and our members throughout the year to continue to grow tourism to Denver.”

with a local music organization when he choreographs a new work for his company. Here, in “Marie,” he will combine contemporary dance and period music to interpret the queen of France’s court life and emotion-laden journey, with a twist. The ballet looks at psychological, social, political and romantic complexities in the French court and the seething world around it — viewing the scene through a contemporary lens. This year, the Baroque Chamber Orchestra of Colorado is on tap to provide 17thand 18th-century accompaniment, playing period instruments and interpreting music by Baroque composers such as Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber, Jean-Marie LeClair and Jean-Phillipe Rameau. The world premiere production will be presented at the PACE Center in Parker on Feb. 14-15 and at the Performing Arts Complex at Pinnacle Charter School in Federal Heights on Feb. 21-22. While music of the 17th and 18th centuries may sound formal to the 21st-century ear, there was actually a spirit of improvisation alive with the instruments available at the time. The two ensembles first collaborated in 2012 (“A Dangerous Liaison”) and they stimulate new ideas in both organizations as they create a new work together. We are told that this production contains the largest number of costume changes yet for the company — designed by Rachel Kras, who speaks of a “Baroque fever dream.” An added available treat is a Valentine’s Day dinner at The Parker Garage, Parker’s newest restaurant.

Member Spotlight – United Launch Alliance
Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., (Jan. 20, 2015) – A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket carrying the third Mobile User Objective System satellite for the United States Navy launched from Space Launch Complex-41 at 8:04 p.m. EST today. The MUOS-3 spacecraft will ensure continued mission capability of the existing Ultra High Frequency Satellite Communications system that will provide improved and assured mobile communications to the warfighter. “The ULA team is honored to deliver this critical mission into orbit for the
U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force with the support of our many mission partners,” said Jim Sponnick, ULA vice president, Atlas and Delta Programs. “The MUOS3 spacecraft is the heaviest payload to launch atop an Atlas V launch vehicle. The Atlas V generated more than two and half million pounds of thrust at liftoff to meet the demands of lifting this nearly 7.5-ton satellite. Today’s launch was the 200th Atlas-Centaur launch – a very sincere congratulations to the many women and men responsible for the incredible success of the Centaur upper stage over the last 5 decades!” This mission was launched aboard an Atlas V Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) 551 configuration vehicle, which includes a 5-meter diameter payload fairing along with five Aerojet Rocketdyne solid rocket motors attached to the Atlas booster. The Atlas booster for this mission was powered by the RD AMROSS RD-180 engine and the Centaur upper stage was powered by the Aerojet Rocketdyne RL10C-1 engine. This is ULA’s 1st launch in 2015, the 52nd Atlas V mission and the fifth Atlas V 551 launch. MUOS is a next-generation narrowband tactical satellite communications system designed to significantly improve

ground communications to U.S. forces on the move and around the globe. ULA’s next launch is the Delta II Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission for NASA scheduled for Jan. 29, 2015, from Space Launch Complex-2 at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. The EELV program was established by the United States Air Force to provide assured access to space for Department of Defense and other government payloads. The commercially developed EELV program supports the full range of government mission requirements, while delivering on schedule and providing significant cost savings over the heritage launch systems. With more than a century of combined heritage, United Launch Alliance is the nation’s most experienced and reliable launch service provider. ULA has successfully delivered more than 90 satellites to orbit that provide critical capabilities for troops in the field, aid meteorologists in tracking severe weather, enable personal device-based GPS navigation and unlock the mysteries of our solar system.

Super seniors spark Titans’ surge Seven Legend players have been with program for four years By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia. com Anybody wanting to talk about the value of senior leadership should talk with Legend girls basketball coach Eli Moore. Moore’s Titans team if off to the best start in the seven-year history of the school, and the main reason is seven seniors who have been playing on the team for four seasons. Joey Sale, Kylie Hager, Kristen Gallagher, Amanda Benglen, Megan Jordan, Kaitlin Ludwig and Jordan Clothier make up the Legend Seven. “All seven seniors have been here all four years,” explained Moore. “Haley Hildenbrand, my starting center, is a junior and she’s been with us for three years as well. My rotation is those seven seniors and her. “They have really progressed like you hope they would over a four-year career. And every year has gotten better recordwise and goal-wise. Everything is progressing like you would expect it to.” The 5-foot-10 Sale leads the team with a
14.8 scoring average. Hager is scoring at a 10.4 clip while Gallagher leads the team in assists and steals. “The biggest thing has been getting people in the right position and those people in those positions accepting their role,” said Moore. “Another thing is they have worked hard to come together as a group,” he continued. “They’ve not like the tightness knit group of girls. There is one group of kids that are best friends and another group that don’t hang out if it’s not during basketball season. They’ve worked hard on camaraderie. It’s been fun to watch this not only work but be a real good experience.” Sale has switched roles this season and it’s paid off in a big way. “For two years I had her in the post working on up-and-unders and drop steps and all that kind of stuff,” confessed Moore. “Then you kind of started to see she wasn’t going to grow much and she started to develop a nice face-up shot. I decided I’m playing her out of position. Next thing you know she becomes a great shooter and gets a full ride scholarship to UCCS in the Springs because of it. “I’m pretty pleased with Joey accepting where we think she needs to be. The rest of our guards accepting whether we believe they are good enough ball handling
to handle the pressure and bring the ball up. Are you a slasher or are you a shooter? I think the main ingredient of this success has been everybody accepting their spot.” Hager has been a standout because of her grit. “Kylie has had an exceptional year,” said Moore. “She starting to get looks from some small colleges. The one school that really wants her is Western Nebraska. Kylie last year was one of two people to receive our top award because of her development. “She was also the starting first baseman on the softball team. She brings that kind of skill set and toughness to the basketball court. She’s been one of the biggest pleasures for me to coach in my 20 years just because of her work ethic, her quite demeanor, toughness and coach ability. She’s been really awesome for us.” Legend needs four more wins to become the team with the best record in school history. With a nucleus of girls that played youth basketball on opposing teams before coming together in middle school and high school, it is a definite possibility. “We’ve been playing together for as long as I can remember,” said Sale. “We can do it if we work together and play like we know how to play. We’ve all grown and matured and battled through adversity and it’s made us stronger. We’re a lot more experienced.”
Hager believes the players’ familiarity with each other will help the Titans reach or surpass 14 wins. “We will be able to do it because we have a lot of chemistry together and work well together,” she said. “We all play unselfish and we all know each other and how we all play. I know how Joey plays and what her strengths are and weaknesses are so it’s easier to play together. “It’s just because we’ve played so long with each other. It’s been like that this whole season.” Moore, who is in his fourth season as the Legend coach, pointed out that the Titans have a lot more work to do this season. “We were 9-15 our first year, 9-15 our second year but had a tougher schedule and both years got into the state tournament which was a first for us,” he said. “Then last we had our first winning record which was 13-12. That was kind of the next step for us to have an overall winning record. “This year we sit at 10-6 with the hopes of getting to the third round of the tournament. One of the things we are trying to do is have a better record than last year and get a better seed. The best seed we’ve ever had is a seventh seed last year. We want a sixth seed or better. All those things are right there for the taking. We’ve had our best start ever in girls basketball in 5A. We’re pleased.”
Lutheran boys pick up big win on hardwood Lions down Faith Christian, move to top of 3A poll By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia. com Lutheran’s boys basketball team passed the test on Jan. 31, but the Lions know there will be more assessments ahead. The Lions, ranked third in the CSHAANow.com Class 3A poll, had three players score in double figures in a 65-55 Metropolitan League win over visiting topranked Faith Christian. James Willis scored 24 points and Bran-
don Crocker contributed 16 as the Lions pulled away in the fourth quarter to secure the win. Brendan Edgerley, a 6-foot-4 senior, had a double-double for the Lions with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Lutheran moved into the top spot in the Feb. 2 CHSAANow.com poll and Faith Christian dropped to second. The Lions are 3-0 in the Metro League and 13-1 overall. The Eagles slipped to 4-1 in the league and 13-2 overall. The Lions played at Jefferson Academy Feb. 4 and go to SkyView Academy Feb. 6 “We played pretty well against Faith,” said Lutheran coach Ryan Bredow. “All things considered it was a really good game. The Faith is a good team and obviously was
No. 1 in the state. They played well and certainly are very well coached. “Our guys hit enough shots, defended pretty well and weathered the storm. It was pretty tight most of the way and got extended a little bit at the end with free throws and things like that.” Bredow didn’t spend much time after the game cautioning his players about the downfalls of being too overconfident. “You get opportunities when you are playing real good teams like Faith Christian,” said Bredow. “You are looking to test yourself and see where you’re at. It was a good win and certainly helps with our league standings and the Metro League is just loaded this year. “At the same time it is just one win and
we talked as a group and we’re prepared to see them (Faith Christian) later on in the year. We’re in the same district so we could see them there or at the state tournament.” Bredow is confident his players are aware that they are expected to win and opposing teams will bring their best efforts. “The guys were pretty low key after the game,” he said. “You can’t get too high or too low. You just have to kind of keep your head down and keep plugging. “We have a lot of seniors so it’s a pretty experienced group of kids that have been playing for a long time. A lot of them played football so they’ve been in the trenches and in the post-season together in football as well.”

High school culinary team cooking for alpine pros By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com A culinary team including four ThunderRidge High School students, teacher Katy Waskey and Douglas County School District executive chef Jason Morse are spending the week showcasing their talents in Vail. The ProStart students —Jake Schneller, Connor Bruce, Halee Paddock and Amanda Dover — were chosen to cook for a Liechtenstein ski team during the 2015 FIS World Alpine Ski Championships. “We’re looking forward to a long but fun eight days of cooking,” Morse said. Organized by the International Ski Federation in odd-numbered years independent of the Winter Olympics, Vail and Beaver Creek are hosting the 2015 competitions. More than 700 athletes representing more than 70 countries are expected. The opening ceremony was Feb. 2 and the event extends through Feb. 15. ThunderRidge is among six groups selected by the Colorado Restaurant Association to cook for the athletes. The hectic schedule could prove a make-
From left, ProStart teacher Katy Waskey meets for a planning session in Vail Village Feb. 1 with students Jake Schneller, Connor Bruce, Amanda Dover and Halee Paddock. Courtesy photo or-break for students considering a career in the food industry, Morse said. “Our schedule is pretty crazy,” he said. “We cook for our athletes from 6 a.m to 9 a.m. which means we’re probably up at 4. Then we’re off during the day. We’re back around 4 to get ready for dinner from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Then we do the same thing the next day. “It will be great to show our students what
performing on a high level for eight days really means. Maybe it’s a good springboard to say, ‘Yes, I totally want to do this,’ or, `I don’t know’.” Morse credits the ThunderRidge ProStart high standards for landing the honor. “Our reputation is what led us to be selected,” he said. “The teachers are a huge part of that.”
The ProStart hospitality program, created by the Colorado Restaurant Association Education Foundation, the Colorado Restaurant Association, and the Colorado Hotel & Lodging Association, is a two-year curriculum offered in 29 state high schools. As a magnet program, it’s open to students from other schools. Because the event takes place during a regular school week, the four students still will be expected to complete all classroom assignments between creating meals for world-class athletes. Menus were submitted and pre-approved. “Because they’re Europeans, we have a lot of European breads, meat and cheese trays, including some nice Colorado beef, fish, chicken and pork,” Morse said. “We’re giving them tons of options.” The event, Morse said, “is second only to the Olympics. … I’m so excited to be able to have these kids experience something like this. It’s a huge honor.” Morse hopes students also will have time to tour some Vail-area kitchens and meet chefs who work in the resort communities.
