Disaster drill helps hospital prepare Parker Adventist takes part in large-scale exercise

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Preparing for a mass-casualty disaster can be something of a science.

Parker Adventist Hospital was among 20 organizations that took part in a large-scale drill in which 150 mock patients were transported to metro-area medical centers June 5. The Federal Coordinating Center Denver Reception exercise was meant to test 11 hospitals on their ability to handle multiple patients at one time.

The drill brought together some of the local, regional and federal authorities and Drill continues on Page 9

Transportation for seniors and those with disabilities in Douglas County may be getting a much-needed boost in the near future.

With unanimous support from the county commissioners, the county is applying for a grant that would increase transportation funding in non-RTD areas by $622,464 for a two-year period covering 2014 and 2015. The county would provide a 26 percent match of $162,120, while the federal grant share would be $460,344.

“Transit in Douglas County is a challenge and a lot of it has to do with the fact that we are on the edge of the Denver metro area and our communities are so spread out,” said District 3 Commissioner Jill Repella.

“We are working on it. We are continuing to work on it and this is part of that challenge.”

Perhaps the biggest challenge the county faces is that it has one of the fastest growing senior populations in the country, and between 2009 and 2011 it saw its transportation funding cut dramatically due to the recession.

In 2009, according to county documents, approximately 150,000 one-way trips were provided in non-RTD service areas to seniors and those with disabilities. That number dropped to 23,000 in 2011 due to a loss of funding. With some help from a Federal Transit Administration grant, it increased to 40,000 in 2012.

“Part of the challenge is we are playing catch-up, trying to get ourselves back to the level of transit services that we were providing previously,” said Jennifer Eby, the county’s community and resource services manager. “We are working with all the different partners and certainly everybody has been really stepping up and collaborating well to increase the number of rides this year.”

Veterans monument comes together Bronze eagle lands after years of planning

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com It took more than six years of planning, thousands of donations and volunteer hours, and the use of a local crane, but the eagle has landed in downtown Castle Rock.

Weighing in at 900 pounds, a bronze eagle, sculpted by Bill Hueg of Westminster, hoists an American flag above a globe. On

Printed on recycled newsprint. Please recycle this copy.

June 4, with the guidance of three men, it was placed carefully on a granite-coated steel and concrete base to complete the $170,000 Douglas County Veterans Monument.

“Six years, I’ve been waiting for this day,” said World War II veteran Lou Zoghby, a longtime member of the monument foundation’s board of directors. “This is for all the veterans past, present and future in the entire county. … What better symbol to depict all of our different branches of service than the eagle.”

The six-sided monument, at the southwest corner of Wilcox and Fourth streets, is embossed with six seals recognizing the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Merchant Marine and Navy.

There are also two plaques

on the monument. One of them honors those killed in action and reads, “In honor and respect for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

You will always be remembered.”

“When we picked this design out of the 14 designs that were submitted, we picked it from a sketch, and little did I realize what it would look like in its full 3D form,” said Henry Bohne, a Korean War veteran and chairman of the foundation board. “There are so many feelings. I just can’t put it into words.”

Bohne estimates there are between 28,000 and 30,000 veterans living in Douglas County today, about 10,000 more veterans than there were citizens in the county when he moved to Parker in 1978.

Art opens windows as dementia closes doors Her intense blue eyes study the watercolor sitting on the table before her.

“The lipstick is not good,” she says.

Her voice is as fragile as Sue Rhodes looks. She is a delicate, 87-year-old woman with dark gray, chin-length hair, thin shoulders slightly bowed. Her right hand trembles as she scrutinizes the painting, a profile of a woman with a Lois Lane hairstyle, bright red lips and a soft pink blouse.

“This looks like ladies in the ’40s and ’50s,” says Lisa Hut, a volunteer artist sitting next to Sue. “Think of a name for it.

Does it remind you of anybody?”

“No, but I’ll do what you tell me to do.”

“I’m not going to tell you to do anything,” Lisa says gently.

Sue glances at her painting again. “It looks all right, like that.”

“How about a story? Does it make you think of anything?”

“She did so-and-so.”

“I wonder what so-and-so is,” Lisa muses.

Sue takes her brush and slowly deepens the pink edges of the blouse. Then she holds up the painting.

“Oh, my gosh,” Lisa says. “It looks so good.”

Sue nods softly. She smiles.

Lisa: “She looks happy to me.”

“She does to me, too,” Sue says, “except …”

And her voice trails away as she begins another painting, her mind, perhaps, chasing a fleeting memory.

The light-filled room is replete with remembrances, some unwittingly captured on paintings scattered across the tables, others flitting in and out, coming close, teasing their owners but then darting away.

The eight men and women, in their 70s and 80s, work intently, dipping brushes into Styrofoam cups of water, swirling them into the chosen hue of their watercolor paints, then stroking the color onto paper. Intermittent conversation and laughter interrupt the tranquility.

They are grandmothers and grandfa-

thers, a hydrologist, a children’s vocational nurse, a dentist, an FBI secretary. All in varying stages of dementia or Alzheimer’s, they share the painful reality of a fading mind. They’ve come to their weekly painting class, where they sometimes discover lost memories, but always find companionship and joy and moments of peace.

“So much of this disease is hard and sad,” says Sara Spaulding, spokesperson for the Alzheimer’s Association of Colorado, whose husband died at 63 in 2010 of Younger Onset Alzheimer’s after battling the disease for 10 years. “This program, however, offers light and laughter … not only to the participants but for their families.”

The program is Memories in the Making. It provides archival supplies — the same brushes, paints and 140-pound paper used by professional artists — to participants, who with guidance from volunteer artists, create art that often correlates to hidden memories. Research shows short-term memory generally declines first, while the part of the brain associated with distant memories is often the last to go. Art and music are among the few ways a patient — whose confusion has impaired verbal skills — can still communicate.

“They have a point of contact,” Spaulding says. “They’re not able to really remember family and friends. But looking at the art … they’re talking to the volunteers, to each other. It keeps the brain active.

That socialization is really important.

Then there’s the self-esteem. They have a purpose — to come to class to create something.”

They might help a hand close around a brush or suggest direction. But “we never draw a line,” says Lisa, who volunteers at Emeritus Denver, a care facility in southwest Denver, one of 45 in the metro Denver-Boulder area that offers the program.

Kim Franklin runs Memories in the Making at Emeritus Denver. A former hairstylist who worked her way from styling residents’ hair to life enrichment director, she believes God brought her here to help guide residents “through their final journey home.”

“I put myself in their shoes,” she says.

“Can you imagine at 88 years old, going to a door and it’s locked and you can’t get out? I just want to give them that dignity here …. They kind of go into another world when they’re painting.”

John George looks at a photograph of an old Lincoln as he dips his brush into the

black circle of paint in his watercolor box.

John, once a hydrologist, is 82 with a deep gravelly voice and a gray mustache that matches his hair.

“I’m not much of an artist,” he says. “I just go slow.”

He peers through his glasses, comparing the painting to the photograph.

“I’m just transferring some data from that nice photograph to something less than nice. I’m trying to figure out what to do with the grill.”

He hums, a throaty low rumble, and dabs his brush on a paper towel. “This is not gray enough,” he says of the grill.

Then: “It’s fun to fool around. Be sure we’re taking this as seriously as necessary, calling it a fool-around. Paul’s good. Paul’s the talented one of the group.”

Paul Schoolcraft sits across the table, a blue cap on his head. He is intently sketching a sailboat in front of a train on a bridge.

s Cops think kidnap call was prank Police believe contact was made by young boy

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com

Parker police detectives believe a prankster is behind a 911 call purporting to be from an abducted child.

Officers swarmed the Crown Point development near E-470 and South Parker Road after it was determined to be the point of origin for the June 6 phone call. There were no reports of a missing child in Colorado, but the Parker Police Department treated the call as credible and issued alerts about a possible kidnapping.

Investigators believe the caller was a young boy. The caller told the emergency dispatcher he was walking to a grocery store when he was kidnapped by a white male wearing black shoes.

The child also claimed to be calling from the trunk of the suspect’s vehicle and said he believed the man was driving a blue station wagon.

Roughly an hour later, the Denver Police ox. eep Department received a call from someone whom authorities believe was the same t caller. The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office “I got a similar 911 call, from a person who identified himself as “Marcel.” In separate aringcalls, the caller said he was 8 and 9 years old.

Sgt. Andy Coleman, public information m s to

d is

officer for the Parker police, said all available evidence points to a hoax.

“We’ve been working around the clock on Thursday, Friday and into the weekend and exhausted all possible leads on this,” he said. “We’ve used a lot of resources: a Code Red went out, reverse 911 was used.”

Detectives also attempted to track the cell phone used to make the call, but it was untraceable because it was not associated with a registered user account, Coleman said, adding the call could have come from a temporary or pay-by-the-minute cell phone.

Other than the statements made by the caller, there are no indications that someone had been kidnapped. Police conducted an analysis of the tapes and it “doesn’t sound like the child is panicking,” Coleman said.

Parker police contacted other law enforcement agencies and school districts to make sure there were no missing persons reports filed in the hours and days after the first 911 call came in.

“You have to be as thorough as possible,” Coleman said.

The phone calls originated from different locations around the metro area, but there are no signs that an adult was involved, he said.

A teen or adult would face misdemeanor charges for false reporting and possible restitution for response costs, but no one under the age of 10 can be criminally charged in Colorado.

Gun law affects domestic abusers Restrictions got no GOP support in Legislature

By Vic Vela

Domestic violence offenders will find it more difficult to own or transfer guns under a bill that was signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper on June 5.

Senate Bill 197 places greater gun restrictions on persons who either are convicted in cases involving domestic violence, or those who have been served with a court-issued protection order.

Prior to the bill being signed, Colorado law had already prohibited domestic violence offenders from having guns. The new law puts in place a system by which

Firefighter labor bill signed Compromise measure allows ballot issues, talks on safety

By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews. com In one of his final actions taken on bills that passed the Legislature this year, Gov. John Hickenlooper on June 5 signed into law a measure that expands labor rights for firefighters in Colorado.

There was uncertainty as to whether the governor would sign Senate Bill 25, especially after he had threatened to veto the original version of the bill earlier this year. Former Gov. Bill Ritter vetoed similar legislation while he was in office.

But Hickenlooper did indeed provide his signature to the Colorado Firefighter Safety Act, two days before the deadline passed for all bills to be signed into law.

The law allows Colorado firefighters to have bargaining discussions on issues pertaining to job safety, regardless of whether individual municipalities prohibit collective bargaining.

However, the legislation does not mandate collective bargaining rights on compensatory matters, such as salary, as was laid out in the original version of the bill.

Nor does it mandate union organizing without a vote taking place in that particular community.

Hickenlooper said the final version of the bill was a compromise that he could accept.

“Clearly we had to do something to allow firefighters to meet and confer,” Hickenlooper told reporters after signing the bill. “It doesn’t make it any easier for them to get collective bargaining ....”

The legislation gives professional firefighters the opportunity to put labor rights issues on the ballot and allows them the opportunity to openly participate in the

political process — something that is prohibited by some municipalities.

Republicans argued during the legislative process that the bill usurps the authority of local governments to make bargaining rights decisions on their own. And the Colorado Municipal League criticized the governor’s decision to sign the legislation.

Hickenlooper took issue with those concerns in a written statement that was distributed to reporters following his remarks.

“As we witnessed last summer, firefighters from various locales were deployed to risk their lives outside the boundaries of their own immediate communities,” Hickenlooper wrote. “Their safety and the effectiveness of their equipment and training are a matter of mixed state-local concern.”

The bill was sponsored

by Sen. Lois Tochtrop of Thornton and Rep. Angela Williams of Denver, both of whom are Democrats.

state courts ensure that offenders relinquish their weapons.

Sen. Evie Hudak, D-Westminster, a bill sponsor, said an incident from about 20 years ago motivated her to carry the bill. A former teacher, Hudak said that a student of hers was shot to death by an ex-boyfriend, who had a restraining order against him.

“I’ve wanted this to happen for a very long time,” Hudak said. “I think a lot of women and children will be safer because of this.”

Under the new law, persons who have received court-imposed protection orders must relinquish any firearms and ammunition in their possession for the duration of the court order. The same rules will apply to persons convicted of domestic violence cases.

They can then either sell or transfer their weapons to a licensed gun dealer or to someone

who has successfully completed a gun background check. The weapon may also be given to a law enforcement agency for storage.

Before transferring a gun back to the offender, a firearms dealer or local law enforcement agency will be required to request a background check from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, to ensure that the person can lawfully possess the weapon.

The bill was part of a package of Democrat-sponsored gun-control bills that passed the Legislature and have been signed into law by Hickenlooper this year.

Republican lawmakers unanimously opposed the bill. Hudak’s sponsorship of the legislation, along with her votes on other gun bills, led to a recall petition effort being waged against her.

That effort recently was suspended by recall organizers.

Illegal immigrants gain access to driver’s licenses Three Democrats broke with party to oppose plan

By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews. com Undocumented immigrants living in Colorado will soon be able to obtain driver’s licenses under a bill that was recently signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper.

Senate Bill 251 allows immigrants to apply for “separate category” types of state-issued IDs that can only be used for driving purposes.

The licenses will indicate that the user is a non-citizen, and they will not be able to use the IDs to obtain benefits, board planes or register to vote.

Hickenlooper and other supporters of the legislation, which was sponsored

by Democrats Sen. Jessie Ulibarri of Commerce City and Rep. Jovan Melton of Aurora, argue that people who are here illegally are driving anyway, and that it’s in everyone’s best interest that they can do so lawfully.

During the legislative process, bill supporters cited data from other states that have similar laws, such as Utah and New Mexico.

Statistics from those states indicate that the numbers of insured motorists rose substantially after the laws were enacted.

“You’re gonna have to have a driver’s license that allows people to drive to get to work … to make sure they have insurance, make sure they can testify in an automobile accident (court hearing), but at same time identifies that they aren’t

full citizens,” Hickenlooper told reporters on June 5, the day he signed the legislation.

The law, which takes effect in August, requires those applying for these types of licenses to show certain forms of legal documentation, such as an ID from their native countries, and proof that they have filed state and federal income taxes. That’s in addition to standard driving tests.

The bill did not garner a single Republican vote in the General Assembly.

And three Democrats voted against the bill in the House of Representatives.

Sen. Kevin Lundberg, RBerthoud, said during an April 10 Senate committee hearing that he didn’t think the bill would make roads safer, and worried that more people would come to Colorado illegally for the driving privilege.

Luxury home project begins The Highlands at Parker will have 221 homes

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Preparations are underway for a new housing community at one of the highest elevations in Parker.

Stunning views of the Front Range are a top selling point for the luxury homes going in near the Idyllwilde subdivision. Utility work has already begun on The Highlands at Parker and the first model home is expected to be built by the end of the year.

Toll Brothers, an award-winning builder that developed the Pine Bluffs neighborhood northeast of South Parker Road and Hess Road, is behind the 221-home project. Presales began May 18 and it generally takes 14 months from the time the contract is signed until homeowners can move in.

Mary Jane Anderson, sales manager for The Highlands at Parker, says the square footage on the homes will range from 3,600 to more than 4,100 square feet and prices begin in the low $500,000s.

Toll Brothers has owned the land just blocks from Cimarron Middle School for six years. Many builders steered away from larger homes during the economic downturn because of the lack of demand, Anderson said, leaving a “hole in the market” for the estate-sized homes. Toll Brothers was busy wrapping up other projects and is now focused on The Highlands at Parker, which has attracted tremendous interest in recent weeks.

“With the uptick in the market and the current indications, I think this is the right time to move into (the upscale home mar-

Turn left onto Canterberry Parkway and go .4 miles to Idyllwilde Drive. Turn left onto Idyllwilde Drive and travel .2 miles to Stroll Avenue.

Turn left onto Stroll Avenue and the sales center will be immediately on the right at 11984 Ramble Lane.

The living room of the Valmont model in The Highlands at Parker features vaulted ceilings and lots of natural light. ket),” Anderson said.

Much of the interest thus far has come from those already living in Parker who want to upgrade.

Walkout basements will be a common feature on many of the five home models.

Lots range in size from 7,000 square feet to 22,000 square feet, with the average being around 10,000 square feet.

The homes will be a short distance from walking trails, parks, open space and wildlife habitats, as well as a community center with a pool. The Highlands at Parker will be in the feeder area for Frontier Valley Elementary School, Cimarron Middle School and Legend High School.

Asphalt work is tentatively scheduled for later this summer. Anderson said she expects the neighborhood to be fully built-out within four years.

This fall, Toll Brothers is also planning to start work on The Hills at Parker, a 120home subdivision that will be built just down the street.

Various photographs of trains and sailboats are scattered around him as he glances from them to the paper and back again. A former dentist, now 85, he is so focused he doesn’t respond.

“How old am I?” John asks in response to a question.

“You’re 27,” answers a woman with cottony white hair painting at the next table.

Bettie Van Zetten smiles.

John laughs. “Turn it around. More like 72. Wait — more like 74!”

“Best review,” he says, looking at his painting, “this is a no-talent thing. Patience — patience is more important than talent.”

With a little urging from Lisa, John talks about a long-ago passion for cars. “As a young man I worked on cars,” he tells her.

“That was the only way you could keep them running.”

A painting he completed some time ago, depicting a lake with a lighthouse, brought back memories of days spent at his grandparents’ lakeside home in Michigan, tales his family hadn’t heard in a while.

“We’re able to pull from them these nuggets of memories,” Spaulding says. “It’s a real bright spot for families.”

His painting finished, John closes his watercolor box.

“You’re an amazing artist,” Lisa says, studying the Lincoln, shaded in varying tones of black against an eddying backdrop of green bushes.

“Well,” John says, “thank you. It’s fun.”

Not every painting elicits recollections for the artists.

And “sometimes, you never know if the stories are true or not,” Lisa says. “But then you get to the point where it doesn’t matter, because it’s true to them.”

Bettie Van Zetten, who worked as a switchboard operator and secretary for the FBI, said the box shown in her angel painting is the FBI’s secrets.

NOW OPEN!

Although John, who had never picked up a paintbrush before starting the class about 1½ years ago, will say he’s not talented, he is.

“He’s a really, really good artist,” Lisa says.

He’s so good that two of his paintings were selected for the annual Memories in the Making auction, held last week in Denver. Some 4,000 pieces are submitted from program participants throughout Colorado. Juried by professional artists, about 75 are selected. Some are then paired with 30 professional artists, who choose a piece of artwork and reinterpret it the way they see it.

Morrison artist Margaretta Caesar, who paints with oils, has participated for about four years. She still remembers the first time she walked into the exhibition room with tables covered in “magnificent” watercolors.

“We were told to find the one that speaks to us. But you look at the mixture of talent — the joy, the passion, the emotion — and on the backs are little stories about their inspirations. You just get so moved by it.”

This year, John’s painting of a steer called “The Steer Leader” captured her interest. A longhorn lives not too far from her home. But even more than that connection, “what really grabbed me was the composition. The artist really nailed it ….

He had worked very, very hard to capture the color in the background. I just thought the piece was top-notch.”

For families, selection of loved ones’ art for the auction, which raises more than $400,000 for the association statewide, is an optimistic moment.

“Often the call that comes from a care facility is about a new difficult behavior or yet another loss of skill or memory proving challenging for the staff,” Spaulding says.

“The call from one of our volunteers letting them know a watercolor created by mom, dad or a spouse has been selected for the auction brings a moment of joy, and once they see the piece, often of wonder that a loved one created something beautiful with no previous art ability — and warmth for a memory shared.”

Before the auction, a tea is held for participants where they see their work displayed. John attended with his wife, Lee. “The Steer Leader” was one of the showcase paintings.

“He had a hard time understanding why people were making such a fuss over him,” Lee says.

She told him the painting was his.

“But I didn’t do that.”

“John, that’s your signature.”

John’s big hobby throughout his life had been photography. And, Lee says, he always had a good sense of light and space, which seems to have translated into his new pastime.

She’s watched how he enjoys painting.

“He’ll spend a long time — his attention is fixed right in the painting the whole time he’s doing it,” she says. “He is amazing.”

But John, like many others, doesn’t remember what he paints.

Bettie Van Zetten bends toward the paper, concentrating, brushing small black strokes along the outline of an angel, sketched from the small, wooden figure on the table.

“Do you think you want to do some blue up here?” Kim Franklin encourages, point-

“More blue sky,” Bettie, 80, agrees. “Not too much. I’ll thin it out.”

“See,” Kim says, “you do a good job.”

Bettie, her once jet black hair now completely white, blots water off her sky.

“See the box there?” Kim asks, pointing to the box cradled in the angel’s hands.

“What is the box supposed to be?”

Bettie wonders. “I was going to say it’s the FBI’s secrets.”

“Oooooh,” several people around the table say.

“What color box would the FBI have?”

Kim asks.

“One of the things about working for the FBI, they were never, ever evil to you.”

Bettie leans back and clasps her hands.

“They would say, `We are special and so are you.’ ” She holds up the painting.

“A red box — all the secrets in there.”

And she dips her brush into the red paint.

Bettie did work for the FBI in Washington, D.C., and in Denver as a switchboard operator and secretary. She has letters from J. Edgar Hoover commending her for good work and her research and help in the Coors kidnapping case in 1960.

The mother of two children, she raised them on her own after a divorce when her oldest, her son Barry, was 10. At one time, she did paint. But what her children remember most is how she made flower sculptures from discarded aluminum sheets, how she decorated objects with paper cut-outs, how she loved music and even tap-danced.

“She was always creating something or trying to create something,” says daughterin-law Eileen Van Zetten, Barry’s wife.

Born in Kansas, she traveled with her family to many rural areas during the Great Depression and came to love the outdoors.

Her paintings often reflect that inspiration and her deep faith, her family says.

“I can see her spirituality in them and her love of the outside,” Eileen says. “For all of us, it’s a way to see that what she’s actually thinking and feeling is beautiful.”

For the auction, Bettie’s landscape, a mountain scene draped in blue, gold and green hues that she named “God’s Beauty,” was paired with a photograph from renowned Colorado nature photographer John Fielder. Unbeknownst to event organizers, over the years Bettie had col-

lected just about every Ansel Adams book of nature photographs; son Barry is a huge Fielder fan.

So when Eileen and Barry saw her painting next to his photograph, they held hands and cried.

“We were both so touched by how this came together, her vision and his vision, and it was almost overwhelming,” Eileen says. “It was one of the most moving things I’ve seen in many years.”

For Barry, his mother’s paintings keep them close, Eileen says. “This is like a way of holding onto a piece of something she feels for him.”

Bettie, absorbed in the angel, adds color to a wing.

“I’d love to be an artist,” she says.

“Wouldn’t it be fun to be an artist?”

“OK, Bettie, last thing,” Kim says. “Do you want to do something for the dress?”

She hands Bettie the angel so she can feel the wood and understand the texture.

“How would I make it?” Bettie asks.

Lisa: “We have silver paint.”

There is silence as Bettie adds water to black paint.

“This looks gray, doesn’t it?”

Kim: “Probably if you use less water.”

“It’s getting more, more silver.”

“So,” says Kim, “every artist names their painting.”

Bettie quickly responds. “Good thing I’m not an artist.”

The class ends and Bettie, Sue, John, Paul and the others close their watercolor boxes, each labeled with their names. They leave quietly, with smiles and goodbyes to each other, and a few hugs for Lisa and Kim. On the table is Bettie’s angel. It wears a silver-gray dress and holds a red box. The sky behind her is Colorado blue.

Kim has written Bettie’s name on the back, along with the title Bettie gave it: “Secrets of the FBI.” To contact the Alzheimer’s Association of Colorado, call 800-272-3900 or go to alz. org/co.

School board responds to evaluation concerns Members stand behind system, but ready to improve where needed

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Despite the controversy and protests sparked by the Douglas County School District’s new teacher evaluations, board president John Carson doesn’t believe the program is intrinsically flawed.

“No. I have great confidence in the principals of our school district,” he said of the program DCSD created. “They’re the ultimate deliverers of those ratings.

“Obviously, this is the first go-round. If there are areas that need to be improved, we’ll improve that.”

Nor does he regret implementing the program a year before the state deadline for new teacher evaluations.

“We’re not interested in plodding along on important innovations,” Carson said.

“We think we have a system that we can build on as we go forward. I think we did

the right thing.

“I think it’s a vast improvement over what we had, which was basically a system in which everybody is rated and paid exactly the same, regardless of their teaching skills. We will base everything on performance and results.”

Board members said they were pressed to roll out the system under Colorado Senate Bill 191, which requires new evaluations statewide. It allows districts to create their own evaluations — as DCSD did — instead of using the Colorado Department of Education’s Carson model.

But Senate Bill 191 doesn’t require full implementation of the new evaluations until the 2013-14 school year. The CDE is piloting its Colorado Model Evaluation System for two years before putting it into action this fall.

Instead of piloting its program or waiting another year, DCSD rolled theirs out during the just-concluded academic year.

“The alternative was to take the state

system,” Carson said. “You talk about a lack of understanding and bureaucracy — the state’s was much more convoluted and complex. We chose to develop our own.

I think in the long run that’s going to be viewed as a very smart decision.”

In the short run, it’s triggered high emotion among parents, students and staff at some schools, and contributed to the loss of several teachers who cite the evaluations among their deciding factors.

DCSD’s system assigns teachers a rating ranging from “highly effective” to “partially effective,” and ties pay increases to those results. Though percentages will vary based on several points, the district says all teachers will get some boost in compensation.

About 15 percent of teachers districtwide received “highly effective” ratings, with the vast majority — 71 percent — rated “effective.”

Results weren’t consistent throughout the district. In Highlands Ranch, longtime Trailblazer Elementary principal Linda Schneider gave 70 percent of her staff “highly effective” ratings, while new Saddle Ranch Elementary principal Ryan Craven didn’t assign that designation to any of his

teachers. At least two schools reported a seemingly disproportionate percentage of “partially effective” results.

School board vice president Kevin Larsen said those deviations can’t be ignored.

“The evaluations have to be accurate to make it work,” he said. “It’s absolutely our goal to look throughout the system and say, `Were these done with consistency and integrity?’, no matter if they’re high or low. I think in this first year, we have to examine what went well, what can be improved, and make this continue to be a better system going forward.”

School board member Meghann Silverthorn agreed.

“I do recognize this is a not a perfect instrument and we need to make changes,” she said. “I think the lessons learned are extremely valuable. While I don’t think it was ideal, I think the way we did it was basically necessary. Implementing a change in public policy is always a challenge.”

Larsen said he’d like to set up community meetings before the new school year begins to further explain the changes. Carson and Silverthorn said they also are open to such meetings.

Departing teachers share their thoughts Educators cite morale, changes, environment

By Jane Reuter

‘Teachers are leaving, and parents are starting to realize and question what is happening in the district. It’s

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Some teachers trace it back to the 2009 election of four Republican Party-backed current school board members — which they say began a sea change in Douglas County School District operations; others to the failed summer 2012 negotiations between the district and teachers’ union. But all departing teachers who spoke about their reasons for leaving point to changes initiated by the district’s current board and administration.

Teachers said they’re not opposed to the idea of education reform, or all of DCSD’s new policies. The changes simply are coming too fast, with too little explanation, they say.

Following are a few words from several departing teachers.

John Kissingford

Chaparral High School English teacher and department chair, accepted a new position in the Ouray School District. Ten years in DCSD. Rated “highly effective.”

“I’m more heartbroken about the direction the district has gone than personally frustrated. The administration has created such a toxic atmosphere, such an adversarial relationship between teachers and administration, and frankly, such an atmosphere of fear. It’s a heartbreaker.

“While I and many teachers really feel like a lot of the reforms are valid, (the) means of implementation has been so heavy-handed and so autocratic that there are huge structural problems. It pushed me out the door. Since the union now is effectively disempowered, we feel like we have no voice in these decisions. Much of this agenda could have been enacted effectively in a collaborative way with teachers.

“I would say somewhere between 80 and 90 percent of seasoned teachers would leave this district if they financially could.

Most people cannot afford to take a huge

personal now.’

Debby Smith, sixth-grade teacher

Pam Pitman

pay cut. I’m going to take an enormous pay cut.”

Barb Dignan

Highlands Ranch High School theater teacher, retiring early. Fifteen years in DCSD. Rated “effective.”

“The district people are very good at packaging everything very nicely and making it look good. Whenever the district speaks, they say the emperor has clothes on and we’re saying, `No, he doesn’t.’ We in the trenches know how bad things are, how things are falling apart.

“The district wants to put all this on the union. That’s bull hockey; that’s just a diversion. I love my students. I’m just done with the whole bureaucracy.”

Debby Smith

Flagstone Elementary School sixthgrade teacher, accepted a position in Cherry Creek School District. Fifteen years in DCSD. Rated “highly effective.”

“I want to be somewhere where the first and last question we ask is, `What is best for kids?’ I don’t feel like that question is being asked anymore in our district. The first question seems to be about, `We’ve got to be the first ones in the nation doing this.’ It seems kids have been taken out of the picture.

“The evaluations, which seemed to continue to change throughout the year, the salary bands, the market pay — it doesn’t make me feel respected as an educator.

“Part of me is saying that, sadly, leaving is possibly one of the best ways I can fight.

Teachers are leaving, and parents are starting to realize and question what is happen-

“Another big issue for me is the climate and morale in this district is just horrible.

My first year here was the first year of this current board, and at that time, DCSD was what I call a destination district for teachers. Clearly, that’s changed. It’s not just how many teachers are leaving, but who they are — the quality and experience. These are teachers I never thought would leave.”

ing in the district. It’s personal now.”

Judy Ahlbrecht

Acres Green Elementary School art teacher, retiring early. Eighteen years in DCSD. Rated “highly effective.”

“The change happened when (John) Carson, (Doug) Benevento, Meghann (Silverthorn) and Justin Williams were elected to the board. It has been steadily going downhill since. The real slap in the face came when the district refused to work with the union. What’s happening at the district office and the board of education — the trust is totally gone.

“Working with the kids is where we get the strokes we need to continue. I could (teach) for a long time yet, but I don’t want to work for that board of education anymore.”

Brian White

ThunderRidge High School social studies teacher, accepted a job with Littleton Public Schools. Four years in DCSD. Rated “effective.”

“For me, the biggest concern would be that these reforms they’re pushing here are not going to do anything to improve teaching and learning in this district. Teachers here are under attack. Public education in general is under attack.

Clear Sky Elementary kindergarten teacher, leaving the teaching profession.

Nine years in DCSD. Rated “effective.”

“It was such a hard decision because I love the kids. But I cannot work for a district that just philosophically goes against my beliefs.

“It’s the way things are presented; they have thrown stuff at us. A good teacher always lets students help the process of what they’re going to learn about because they have buy-in and they think they had a say in the manner. They don’t take that into consideration. There’s a wall coming up between teachers and the district. Eventually kids will suffer.”

Jenna Southern

Flagstone Elementary learning specialist, accepted a job with Littleton Public Schools. Six years in DCSD. Rated “effective.”

“There’s a lot of turmoil district-wide and it was really interfering with my teaching. I feel like it’s coming from the district level and how much change they’ve put in place. It doesn’t feel like change that’s best for kids.

“More so than money, I’m going to Littleton for the support they’re offering me.

I’m looking forward to the change, but I don’t think I’ll ever find teachers as great as these.”

Governor signs renewable energy bill Republicans irked at cost increase to rural Coloradans

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com While Democratic leaders applauded Gov. John Hickenlooper for signing Senate Bill 13-252, which increases renewable energy standards for energy co-ops in the state, Republican lawmakers claimed the bill will hurt rural Coloradans.

The bill, signed on June 5, will go into effect July 1 and require Colorado energy cooperatives — including Intermountain Rural Energy Association — to double their existing requirements for renewable energy from 10 percent of all energy used to 20 percent prior to 2020.

IREA currently obtains its renewable energy through a long-term purchase agreement with Xcel Energy, and according to a statement on its website cannot unilaterally increase the amount it requires from Xcel, which creates an issue.

IREA says on the site that it is a supporter of renewable energy, but it was opposed to the bill because it believes “the arbitrary imposition of a renewable requirement without regard to existing infrastructure and contracts will only lead to costly waste.”

IREA serves customers in, among other areas, Elbert and Douglas counties.

Hickenlooper stated the bill was “imperfect,” but in an executive order accompanying the signing of it, said an advisory committee was being assembled that will work to address concerns such as the timetable for implementing the new requirements as well as protecting consumers impacted by the legislation. He said that if issues are not resolved through stakeholder engagement, there is an agreement in place that changes will be made to the legislation in the next session.

“This legislation will expand economic opportunities across Colorado through the development of wind, solar, and other innovative energy resources,” he stated in the order. “Rural areas, in particular, will benefit economically from the expansion of renew-

what the renewable enerGy bill does • Increases renewable energy standards for cooperative electric associations serving more than 100,000 meters from its current 10 percent by 2020 to 20 percent.

• Provides extra credit for new renewable resources acquired through 2015.

• Allows both methane capture and pyrolysis of solid waste to count toward the renewable energy standard, as long as the production is greenhouse gas-neutral.

• Ensures that no utility bill will increase by more than 2 percent as a result of bill. able resources because the vast majority of renewable resources are located outside of the state’s urban centers.”

Some of the jobs Hickenlooper said would be created included construction, manufacturing and mining, as well as new waste-to-energy positions.

Republicans had a different view of the bill, however, and state party Chairman Ryan Call was one of many to issue a statement, blasting the signing.

Artist Kristine Orr, seated, answers a question about some of her work June 8 at the Court the Arts Festival in downtown Castle Rock.

“It is clear that Gov. Hickenlooper and Sen. (John) Morse (the Democratic Senate president from Colorado Springs) are more concerned about appeasing radical environmentalists and the fringe of their party than doing what’s right for Colorado,” Call stated. “The law will raise the price of energy on everyone.”

The governor said he considered vetoing the bill, and would have done so if the rate increase, which is capped at 2 percent, was not compounded. The assertion that this legislation will levy billions in costs to rural consumers is not borne out by the facts, he said.

“For society to move forward, its people must look forward,” said Morse. “This bill will help stabilize the cost of electricity in the long run, create jobs and economic activity, and limit greenhouse gas emissions.

These are all good things, and I am incredibly pleased to know we have taken another step toward national leadership in the clean energy field.”

Attempts to reach representatives of IREA for comment were unsuccessful.

Town paying Call-n-Ride fares this summer

Town council approved a partnership with the RTD Call-n-Ride program to offer free bus rides in Parker now through Aug. 30.

Call-n-Ride is a personalized bus service that travels within select areas of Parker and provides a curb-to-curb service on a first-come, first-served basis. Residents can schedule free rides to work, shopping or school with one call to 303-301-5772. Rides may be scheduled from two hours to two weeks in advance.

“Adopting the free summer program again for 2013 will provide our residents with a great opportunity to try the RTD Call-n-Ride service at no cost,” said mayor Mike Waid.

“We hope that residents of all ages will take advantage of this service.”

The town developed the free program to help increase ridership on the Parker Call-n-Ride in an effort to retain bus service in the community. By increasing ridership, the town could also potentially seek expanded transit services in the future.

Parker’s RTD Call-n-Ride service area is generally located north of Hess Road and east of Twenty Mile Road.

Ride areas and destinations include downtown Parker, Parker Adventist Hospital, Cottonwood, Walmart, Target, Kohl’s, Railbender Skate and Tennis Park, the Parker Fieldhouse, Parker Recreation Center, Canterberry, Idyllwilde and other neighborhoods and commercial areas.

Parker Call-n-Ride operates from 5:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Monday through Friday with limited service to the Parker Recreation Center from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Call-n-Ride fares are normally $2.25 per ride for adults or $1.10 for seniors or students.

For more information on the Parker Call-n-Ride and a map of the service area, visit the town’s website at www. parkeronline.org/callnride or call 303-841-0353.

agencies charged with caring for victims of a disaster. Among the top priorities for officials was the testing of communications systems and procedures.

Parker Adventist’s emergency department was filled with the sound of tones and calmly spoken alerts over hand-held radios, as well as discussions about the duties of hospital staff members when a “code gray” is issued. It announces the implementation of the disaster plan.

The scenario acted out June 5 was a frightening one: It was based on an EF-5 tornado striking Wyoming’s two primary medical centers, leaving them unable to care for current patients or take in new patients. Patient transports went through Denver International Airport, and volunteer victims were taken by eight ambulances and 10 helicopters to various hospitals.

The hospitals were notified about the number of patients en route and the severity of their injuries. Parker Adventist received about 15 mock patients.

Molly Duffy, safety and emergency preparedness specialist for Parker Adventist, spent six weeks planning for the drill with department heads. It was one of two disaster drills that take place each year, and the objective is to identify and fix any flaws in the system before the hospital is faced with a real mass-casualty event. It was tested last July after the Aurora theater shooting.

Duffy’s own 3-year-daughter, Lyndy, was among the mock patients treated at Children’s Hospital Colorado at Parker Adventist Hospital as part of an exercise that helps doctors and nurses work on their communication skills with children. At the urging

The monument, he said, is for all of them.

But if not for donations, it never would have been possible, he said. With only a handful of donations that came in at more than $1,000, it was the smaller donations and citizens such as South Ridge Elementary School sixth-grader Jaydon Pinon — who raised $526 selling chocolate bars — that saw the project through to fruition.

And don’t think just because the mission has been accomplished, the Douglas Coun-

of her mother, Lyndy, shares the well-rehearsed line she is supposed to say to the medical staff: “Ow, my shoulder hurts.”

The most seriously injured patients are instructed to scream and pretend to writhe in pain to make things realistic and to test the medical teams’ ability to identify injuries and operate in a stressful environment.

“If we don’t make it as real as possible, we’re not going to learn anything,” said Lisa Woltering, the emergency department’s charge nurse and disaster preparedness specialist.

A unified response is perhaps the most critical component of successfully processing a large number of patients. Roger Rewerts, the FCC Denver coordinator, said the goals include “enhancing capacity, building sustainment and creating surge for receiving medical facilities.”

A follow-up debriefing enables hospital staff to give feedback on what went well and what did not, and a team of evaluators observes the action and takes notes. A 30- to 40-page “after-action report” is generated and disseminated to hospital leaders, who can then make any necessary changes.

Training sessions are a regular occurrence at Parker Adventist. In addition to the two disaster exercises, the hospital conducts 12 fire drills and two infant abduction drills, as well as security assists and lockdowns. While the departments often get notice for major exercises, there are some that go unannounced.

Lyndy Duffy is already a veteran volunteer. She has been the subject of surprise abduction drills in which the staff is tested on their response. With her mother in sight, Lyndy is kidnapped by an actor and screams to get the attention of staff. Watching the reaction of the staff members is gripping, Molly Duffy said.

“She’s never made it off the floor,” she says. ty Veterans Memorial Foundation is ready to break up the band.

The foundation will host its second annual poker run June 30 and raffle off a Harley-Davidson motorcycle valued at $21,000.

“We want to do some philanthropic things,” said Vietnam veteran and board member Bob Rotruck.

“If a veteran needs help with his house, or needs a service dog, or we can do a scholarship for his kids. We’re not done just because the sculpture is up.”

For more information about the poker run or the foundation, please visit the website at www.dcvmf.org.

There will be a formal monument dedication on-site at 10 a.m. Aug. 3.

opinions / yours and ours

Happy Father’s Day from an imperfect dad This past year has been very enlightening for me as I look back over the past 12 months and remember how I reacted or responded to the trivial as well as the major challenges and opportunities presented to me by my children.

Some may argue that the larger issues or problems are still really just small or trivial in most cases and just blown out of proportion by an over-reactive father or parent. And I would have to plead guilty as charged.

And as I recall conversations with other parents over the past year I have been reminded that it’s not just my children who get into trouble or make mistakes, it seems as though we have raised an entire generation of trouble-seeking and mistake-prone children as my friends and neighbors all share similar stories. That old saying, “misery loves company,” could apply here, but I really have found no comfort in thinking about it that way.

I love my children dearly, and I would have to agree that in most cases I could have responded better instead of over-reacting and making things worse or underreacting and not doing enough.

The life lesson in this for me is to learn how to take the time to respond instead of react. I know they sound very similar and some would say that they mean the very same thing. The difference, I believe, is found in the way we think about each word.

question of the week

How do you travel with kids or pets?

Colorado Community Media asked four people in the Arapahoe Lake neighbor-

hood for their best tip on traveling by car or plane with kids or pets.

“Entertainment. Entertainment. Entertainment. And keep it charged.”

— Elizabeth Price, Englewood

“I try to make sure we’re all prepared before we even leave the house. Everyone is fed, has all their stuff … and then I pack blankets, pillows, snacks and water.”

— Jodi Page, Englewood

“Be aware of the temperature inside the car. … If you have to stop, make it brief, park in the shade, crack the window and always have fresh water for the animal.”

— Jody Schmidt, Lone Tree

“I don’t really travel with my pets, but I do think it’s important to always leave them in good, dependable hands and with someone you trust.”

— Mark Wienckowski, Wautoma, Wis.

That’s not what I’m talking about I have no idea when “I have no idea” replaced “I’m not sure.” Most of the time when we say we have no idea we do have an idea, but “I’m not sure” is simply not as melodramatic.

All I know is that I am tired of hearing “I have no idea.” I am at the end of my rope. I am at my wits’ end. It has become another “overly conventionalized linguistic expression,” and nearly a cliché by now. Most things that are said, you know, over and over become annoying, at least to a few of us who listen when someone is talking.

What would you think of anyone other than Rodney Dangerfield who started every thought with “I have no idea”? Rodney could get away with it, because he would tug at his necktie, jerk his head, and say, “I was so ugly when I was born that the doctor slapped my mother.”

Elocution has gone the way of handwriting. Most of us no talk so good no more. We get by, because it’s no longer expected to be any better.

Ah, but when it occurs it can be wonderful.

There are some things that are said over and over that I never get tired of hearing. For one, “I love you.” Unless it’s from Mr. Holly Martins in area rugs.

We resort to clichés because they are familiar, handy, and readily understood.

Few of us have a gift for making ourselves understood without them. That’s what I’m talking about. That’s one of them right there. It was somewhat clever 10 years ago. Now it’s a nuisance.

The French gave us the word “cliché.” It comes from typesetting, and the reuse of single slug of metal for phrases that were used repeatedly.

“A cliché is often a vivid depiction of an abstraction that relies upon analogy or exaggeration for effect, often drawn from everyday experience,” a Wikipedia entry says. “Used sparingly, they may succeed, however, the use of a cliché in writing or

speech is generally considered a mark of inexperience or a lack of originality.”

It’s not rocket surgery. It’s been a hard day’s night. Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder. See? Clichés and other phrases can be turned around, inverted, and even made into a malaprop (another column).

Shakespeare referred to the “comprehension of two auspicious characters.”

There is a song, “Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” and few of us want to be misunderstood, so it’s much easier to speak the tried and true (like “tried and true”) than to go out on a limb (there’s another) and offer something obtuse.

But it can be fun when you connect, and the more you try to connect the dots (another) the better your chances are. You can’t win if you don’t play, although Fran Lebowitz said she has the same chances of winning the lottery whether she plays or not.

I once quoted Wayne Gretzky at an AA meeting, “You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take,” and later thought that was a mistake.

Words and phrases sometimes cross over from our occasional use to habitual use, and some of us don’t even know it, or seem to mind, that they can be mindnumbing. If I hear the word “transparency” one more time, applied to the IRS, for example, I will have an ax to grind.

But it occurred to me that it might Smith continues on Page 11

If we were to get sick and our doctor prescribed a medication that caused us to break out in a rash or some other side effect, it could be said that we are having a “negative reaction” to the medication.

Conversely, if we were prescribed that same medication and started improving immediately, we would say we were “responding favorably” to the medication.

And as a dad, I can look back over the past 12 months as well as an entire lifetime and remember all the little mistakes and huge errors I have made. And thankfully my children have not over-reacted, they have simply responded and loved me and forgiven me in the same way that I have loved and forgiven them.

That is the wonderful thing about forgiveness, it goes both ways, and it goes such a long way in building and sustaining loving relationships with our family and friends. And forgiveness costs us nothing when we give it, but costs us everything

when we withhold it.

If you are one of those dads or parents that I have spoken with or exchanged emails with or that just feels like you have had a brutally tough year with a noncompliant child, trouble-attracting teen, or mistake-magnet kid, just remember that as big as each of those challenges seem, at the end of the day they are all just trivial.

And it’s not about how we react, it is how we choose to respond, love and forgive that will be the difference-maker in all of our relationships.

Happy Father’s Day! I would love to hear all about how your Father’s Day weekend goes at gotonorton@gmail.com, and let’s respond our way to a better than good week.

Littleton provides vibrant model For my entire life, I have called the Greater Littleton Community home. Before the strip malls and the incorporation of other parts of Arapahoe County, before even the idea of Highlands Ranch, thousands of us were going to church, shopping and living in Littleton. Some of my fondest memories include fishing with my father at Sterne and Ketring Parks, walking in the homecoming parade, and graduating from Littleton High School where my daughters now attend school.

When first elected as an Arapahoe County commissioner, I drove by the original, historic county courthouse (where I received a curfew ticket as a teenager) on my way to be sworn in at the County Administration Building in Littleton, the county seat. I learned that the county owned the then-vacant building, so I asked about the history of the building and took a tour. It quickly became apparent that one of the most important things the county could do was to save that building. We had to restore part of our past in order to build a stronger future. The City of Littleton now has a beautifully restored courthouse thanks to our efforts.

I’ve now been directly and professionally involved for over 16 years in the economic health of our county seat, the City of Littleton. I love its people, history and tradition, and I have become heavily involved in areas where citizens and government need to work together to ensure the city’s continued success, including the city’s changing demographics, its cultural norms, the strength of its commercial base, its transportation routes, and its neighborhoods. The city’s future is brighter today than I have ever seen it. Littleton has the

Parker Chronicle

potential to achieve an elegant balance between respect for its culture and tradition as a historic city (not just a suburb of Denver) and the critical role Littleton plays in one of the nation’s premier metropolitan areas, Denver.

A spotlight is now focused on Colorado, particularly South Metro Denver. We’ve become the top destination in the country for young professionals to live and work, with major companies expanding and moving here. Littleton is responding accordingly with a variety of new residential and commercial growth.

The Littleton City Council made a wise decision by hiring Michael Penny as city manager. Michael is an energetic, competent and hard-working professional. He and his staff have embarked on a series of long-range planning, communication and economic-development initiatives to improve the quality of life for our city’s residents, and we are beginning to see the fruits of their vision and labor. The economy over the last four years has proven difficult for many in our community, both in business and in our neighborhoods, but we now have the potential to grow responsibly Brackney continues on Page 11

Ordinances OK zoning, but restrict operations

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com A year after toughening regulations for sexually oriented businesses, the Lone Tree City Council on June 4 adopted a still more specific set of rules for such retailers.

The change comes a year after Fascinations adult store tried to open in the city’s Entertainment District, later suing the city in federal court for a hasty change in ordinances that blocked the plan. The case has not been settled.

At first blush, the new restrictions appear at odds with one another; one gives strip clubs, adult bookstores and similar businesses an area in which to operate, and the other sets requirements for them. But they are crafted to meet constitutional requirements governing free speech, while restricting what goes on within the walls of sexually oriented businesses.

It’s the most severe approach Lone Tree can take short of banning the operations entirely, said an attorney who specializes in adult business regulations.

“I think this city has adopted the best laws it can get,” said Tennesseebased Scott Bergthold, the $250-anhour special counsel whom Lone Tree hired to help write the ordinances and flew in for the June 4 meeting. “You meet the constitutional standard. If you’re so restrictive the courts have said you don’t have alternative sites, it will be struck down.”

In cities where heavy-handed ordinances were defeated, adult retailers typically can build wherever they choose — a scenario Lone Tree never wants to face.

“We are obligated to zone for these folks,” Mayor Jim Gunning said. “Nobody wants to zone for this. We have no choice.”

The area designated for sexually oriented businesses is bounded by County Line Road, C-470, Quebec Street and Yosemite Street. Photo by Jane Reuter “It’s sort of like a doctor saying, `You have cancer. The good news is, you can put it in your body wherever you want,’” Bergthold said. “The alternative is really not tenable.”

The area in which adult retailers now are allowed extends from Quebec Street east to Yosemite Street, between County Line Road and C-470.

If an adult business opens in that area, it won’t be allowed to serve alcohol, stay open past midnight, or have nude dancers or enclosed peep-show booths. Store managers must have a direct line of sight into every room in which a sexually explicit video is shown, a set-up likely to deter many potential patrons.

“If you’re interested in that type of activity, you have to pretty much be willing to do it in a crowd,” Gunning said.

That standard could discourage the retailers entirely. “This is not how they make their money,” Bergthold said.

“They make their money by privacy.”

Sexually explicit books, videos and erotic dance are protected forms of free speech under the First Amend-

ment.

But a 1986 U.S. Supreme Court ruling lets local government restrict sexually oriented businesses to specific areas if it proves the businesses produce harmful secondary effects like decreased property values and lewd behavior. Studies in other communities, crime reports and anecdotes suffice as evidence, even in communities in which no such businesses ever have existed.

City council adopted those findings along with the restrictions, but said the process wasn’t easy.

“To say this was a challenge was an understatement,” Councilmember Jackie Millet said. “This doesn’t mean we’re going to stop looking at this. But today, this is the best we can do.”

City attorney Neil Rutledge said the new regulations are not tied to the Fascinations lawsuit.

“But because of that, we took a look at our ordinances,” he said. “This law keeps changing all the time as court cases come out. Unless you really keep up to date all the time, it gets a little dated.”

U.N. chief discusses world situation in visit South Metro Chamber served as co-sponsor of Denver event

AboUt bAN Ki-mooN Ban Ki-moon is the eighth and current secretary general of the United Nations, having succeeded Kofi Annan in 2007.

Prior to that, he was a career diplomat in South Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in the United Nations. He entered diplomatic service the year he graduated from university, accepting his first post in New Delhi, India.

He was the foreign minister of South Korea from January 2004 to November 2006.

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com

Ever the local advocate, John Brackney, president of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, talked up the metro area to none other than Ban Ki-moon, secretary general of the United Nations, during a luncheon at the Oxford Hotel in Denver on June 7.

Ban was in town to speak at the University of Denver commencement ceremony, but first he attended The Denver Forum’s luncheon at the invitation of Colorado’s former U.S. Sen. Tim Wirth, who now sits on the U.N. Foundation’s board. Wirth described Ban’s job as perhaps more difficult than being president of the United States.

“Dealing with 435 congressmen is hard, but dealing with 193 countries, each of t rulwhich believes they have the paramount sexvoice in the United Nations, is even harder,” ecific he said. proThe U.N.’s military, with 110,000 troops like in 15 countries, is outnumbered only by lewd that of the United States. The U.N. vaccimuninates 60 percent of the world’s children and sufserves 90 million people a day, up to 36,000 nities of them refugees like those currently fleeing have Syria as rebel forces and the government engage in deadly battle. dings Asked whether the United States should said get involved in the Syrian crisis, Ban said it’s a sensitive subject, but he expects all leadwas ing nations to convene a peace conference mber on the matter next month in Geneva. In the mean meantime, the U.N.’s humanitarian arm . But has asked the agency for more than $5 billion to help the millions of people affected said by the conflict. o the “We can’t let the Syrian people continue to die this way,” Ban told the audience of look s law court keep little

During lunch June 7, he told his tablemates about his youth in South Korea, where war raged from the time he was 6 until he was 8. His family took refuge with relatives who lived on a mountainside, so remote the soldiers had no reason to go there, said Ban. He remembers soldiers from the United States and the United Nations arriving with food, donated clothing and lots of powdered milk.

Now the leader of the United Nations, Ban said South Koreans are forever grateful for that support.

Photo by Jennifer Smith about 200 people. “The entire nation has been destroyed now.” He blames the inflexible attitude of the country’s leader, Bashar al-Assad, who refuses even to allow humanitarian workers within Syria’s borders.

Ban called on the global community to show compassion to developing countries like Syria, now set back even further by the recent destruction. By working together, he said, “We can move challenges from the world’s inbox to the world’s outbox.”

A key to that, he said, is expanding the use of renewable energy to all corners of the earth. He called it the “golden thread” that addresses all problems, as it makes possible technology, transportation, health, educa-

two rare measles cases lead to notifications Infected man visited many sites in south metro area

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Two rare cases of measles have been diagnosed in south suburban Denver, and the second infected individual may have exposed other people after visiting several public places in Lone Tree, Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, Highlands Ranch and Littleton.

A Sky Ridge Medical Center doctor diagnosed the first case of measles in a patient there in late May. The second individual, who was exposed to the first man June 4, reportedly began experiencing symptoms June 6.

During the infectious phase, the second person visited the following places, potentially exposing unvaccinated individuals: • Lone Tree Medical Plaza, 9695 S. Yosemite St., Lone Tree, between June 3 and 6 • Kent Denver School’s middle school graduation at the Anschutz Theatre, 4000 E. Quincy Ave., Cherry Hills Village, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 3 • Hodsons Bar & Grill, 6851 S. Gaylord St., Centennial, from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m.

June 3 • Christ Lutheran Church, 8997 S. Broadway, Highlands Ranch, from 6 to 9 p.m. June 3 • Highlands Ranch Orthodontics, 1420 W. Canal Court, Littleton, from 3 to 5:30 p.m. June 5 Ninety percent of U.S. citizens are vaccinated against measles, and Sky Ridge chief medical officer Dr. David Markenson said “there isn’t really a risk” for that vast majority of the population.

“Unfortunately, vaccination coverage levels in Colorado are not as high as we would like them to be,” said state epidemiologist Dr. Lisa Miller. “With a second case of measles and fairly wide exposure, we could be seeing additional cases of measles in our community. Now is the time to check your immunizations and make sure you and your family are protected.”

The first case was diagnosed in a man who traveled to Denver from India, seeking treatment at Sky Ridge.

The man was admitted for several days, and Markenson said Sky Ridge took “symptom-based precautions” during his stay.

Sky Ridge informed not only the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, but staff and many patients at the hospital between May 25 and 27, he said. Visitors to the hospital during those dates may also have been exposed.

Those who suspect they may have measles are urged to call a health-care provider before going to a medical office or emergency room.

Special arrangements may need to be made before an examination to protect other patients and medical staff from possible infection.

Measles is an airborne contagion, spread through the spray droplets in sneezes or coughs or on surfaces. Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, red, watery eyes and a rash that usually begins on the face and spreads to hands and feet.

Although it was declared eliminated from the U.S. in 2000, 66 cases of measles were reported in 2005, more than half linked to a single unvaccinated individual infected during a visit to Romania.

tion — virtually all aspects of life.

“We cannot keep burning and mining our way to prosperity,” he said.

He declared sustainable development the U.N.’s top priority for his second term, which runs through 2016.

“There can be no plan B, because there is no planet B,” he said. “There is only planet A.” Ban believes focusing on sustainability will reduce global conflict, much of which

results from real or perceived inequities in resources.

“As we strive for sustainable development, we need to strive for sustainable peace,” he said. “When people are hungry and poor and sick, there can be no human rights. There can be no peace.”

That’s true in particular, he notes, for women and children.

“During times of conflict, there are always women and girls whose human rights are totally abused,” said Ban. To that end, he launched the U.N. Network of Men Leaders to eradicate such violence.

“Unless men change their mentality, this violence can’t be addressed, can’t be rectified,” he said. “I have been talking to kings and prime ministers and presidents, telling them that this is not acceptable.”

Cyclists frustrated by Lone Tree Infrastructure limits flexibility, city says

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com City surveys show residents love Lone Tree, but one group doesn’t share that sentiment.

Cyclists view Lone Tree, whose major thoroughfares lack bike lanes, as a thorn in the sides of their jerseys.

“The City of Lone Tree is generally viewed by anybody on a bike as an impediment,” cyclist and Lone Tree resident Todd McCusker told the city council during its June 4 work session. Cyclists easily can ride through adjacent Parker and Highlands Ranch, he said, but “not in Lone Tree, if you don’t want to take your life in your own hands.”

The criticism is not news to Lone Tree’s leaders, who say they’re physically restrained from adding the lanes in many areas. Though Lone Tree is only a teenager,

problem streets like Lincoln Avenue were built well before its 1995 incorporation.

“The county started a lot of this,” Mayor Jim Gunning said.

“We have service gaps in the community that were structurally built in, a long time before we became Lone Tree. If we’d started this community from the ground up today, it would be different.”

Lincoln Avenue boasts wide sidewalks on both sides, but doesn’t have a designated bike lane, making it difficult to ride east and west between Parker and Highlands Ranch.

Streets in the relatively new RidgeGate development also lack bike lanes.

The city plans to add 6-foot-wide bike lanes to some of its wide side streets, which will help families and children. That doesn’t help McCusker or his riding buddies.

“I love the stuff that’s going on, but the low-mile-per-hour streets were not my concern,” he said.

“I can’t even ride my bike to the rec center on the weekend because the traffic is too much.”

He asked the city to “at least stop building roads” without bike lanes.

“It is a quality of life issue,” he said. “I recognize what I’m asking for is huge and expensive, (but) I believe Lone Tree could flip the scales and become an example of creative, mixed-mode transportation.”

Four-lane Lincoln isn’t an easy fix. Its driving lanes can’t be narrowed without violating the traffic code, and the land flanking it already is developed.

“We just don’t have the infrastructure to support it,” Gunning said. “I think everybody up here knows Lincoln is a barrier. It’s not going to get less (so).”

Bike lanes aren’t the city’s only transit challenge. Pedestrians long have complained about the difficulty of crossing Lincoln north and south.

Past ballot measures to fund a tunnel under Lincoln failed, though Gunning said the future construction of a light rail bridge over the street might clear the way for a multi-modal overpass.

“We’ll do the best we can to see where we can do things into the future,” Gunning said. “It always stays on the radar because it’s important to us.”

Public Works Director John Cotten said

City’s numbers fit CyCling Crowd A 2010 survey of USA Cycling members shows cyclist demographics are similar to those of Lone Tree residents.

2010 USA Cycling member survey

57.5 percent have a household income of $80,000 or more 64 percent own their homes 68 percent hold a bachelor’s degree or higher 55 percent are between the ages of 30 and 49 2010 U.S. Census date for Lone Tree Median household income is $100,000

64 percent own their homes 60 percent hold a bachelor’s degree or higher 33 percent are between the ages of 35 and 54 slower, family-variety riders and road cyclists present different challenges.

“We’re kind of looking at it as two-part thing,” he said. “We’re never going to make everyone happy, but we are going to try and create a way for the majority of people to be able to get where they want to go.”

RidgeGate prides itself on its walkability. It offers the soft-surface trails of Bluffs Regional Park; wide, concrete sidewalks linking neighborhoods and parks; and a tunnel under RidgeGate Parkway whose archway bears the carved words “Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.”

But the streets of Lone Tree’s still-developing “new urbanism” community have no bike lanes, an absence city officials say could be filled as RidgeGate’s larger, east side begins to take shape.

“I think we’re going have some more discussion about what’s going to happen on the east side,” Lone Tree Public Works Director John Cotten said. “That’s kind of a clean slate right now. A new set of street standards will need to be approved.”

RidgeGate’s west side, south of Interstate 25 and Lincoln Avenue, rapidly is approaching build-out, but the bulk of the 6-square-mile new-urban-style community will be east of Interstate 25.

On the west side, RidgeGate’s developers chose a “share-the-road” approach instead of creating bike lanes.

Development manager Darryl Jones sat

on a city-created transportation committee several years ago, and said he learned through information presented there that bike lanes don’t offer cyclists any guarantees.

“There’s a perception if you’re in a bike lane you’re protected,” he said. “That’s not necessarily the case. These lanes typically are against the curb and don’t get swept.

Bicyclists can hit those and fall. Secondly, what happens at an intersection? There’s a lack of clarity (between drivers and cyclists),” Jones said.

“Because of those intrinsic safety issues, the approach was one that is used in most cities, and that is a share-the-road approach.

“Subsequently, we never striped any of our streets to provide a dedicated bike lane.”

Jones noted RidgeGate invested heavily to build trails and tunnels under some of RidgeGate’s streets to separate pedestrians and bicycles from vehicles.

“If you’re a road biker, you may not like that trail,” he said. “We can’t provide a separate system for off-road and road bikers.”

Jones said there are multiple factors to consider before adding bicycle lanes into its future street designs.

“Building wider roads, obviously, would take up more land,” he said. “Even if (cycling) is a growing trend, what is that trend and demand in relation to the greater population?”

How long have you lived in the area?

I live in Douglas County, more specifically in Lone Tree for 14 years.

What do you like most about it?

Lone Tree has a small town feel with all the amenities that you would expect to find in a much larger city. There is a new Arts Center, world-class shopping at Park Meadows, several restaurants, new tennis courts, pools and miles of trails for hiking and biking. In a recent survey of residents, 98% of respondents rated the overall quality of life in Lone Tree as “excellent” or “good.” I have found it to be an exceptional place to raise a family.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house?

Make sure your home is ready when you put it on the market.

The good homes are selling quickly so you want to de-clutter, price correctly and work with a realtor that has everything available to them to best market your home to get the highest price possible.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house?

If you are thinking about buying a home, now is the time.

Interest rates are low and there are great homes available. The home you buy today will cost you more later. You also need to talk with your lender before you begin your search so that when you find that perfect home you ready to act.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate?

I was previewing a home and was told there was no alarm.

Upon entering the home, the alarm sounded. Therefore, I went to the front porch to wait for the police. When they arrived and were comfortable with me being there, the officer mentioned that he is thinking about buying a home in that neighborhood. I showed him the home, we made an offer and he purchased the home.

Garage organization 101:

Stage all parts of your home when selling W

hen putting your house on the market, a properly staged garage can make all the difference!

Garages are highly coveted across the country, offering a space to park a car and protect it from the elements, however, they tend to become the official catch-all of a home. When an item cannot be crammed into a hiding space elsewhere, it often ends up dumped into the garage.

Organizing a garage will take some time. An entire weekend or two consecutive days may be necessary depending on the level of disarray. Taking everything out of the garage and going through the sorting process may take the most time.

When sorting, separate any broken items, which can immediately be put at the curb for trash or recycle pick-up. Examine things that you have not used in some time. If you haven’t missed it, there’s a good chance that you can discard the item or donate it. Create separate piles for donations and trash.

Move the items that will be kept into a separate pile.

After all of the trash and donations are removed from the premises, then you can look at what is remaining and begin planning out a more organized storage system.

There may be things in

the “keep” pile that are simply out of place in the garage and may be better stored elsewhere.

Think about which items can be moved to a basement or attic because of their infrequency of use, such as holiday decorations, suitcases, and collectibles. You may prefer to move lawn and garden items out of the garage and into a shed in the

Even a home that looks neat from the outside may be housing a disorganized mess behind the garage door.

backyard.

After completing the sorting process, look at the garage as a blank space and measure out the room that you have. This will provide an empty canvas as a starting off point.

To maximize the amount

of space you have as a work area or a place to park your car, invest in as many tools as possible to utilize vertical space. Shelving, hooks and cabinetry will take things off of the floor, while storage units with doors can hide items that lack aesthetic ap-

peal. Rolling tool caddies and cabinets can keep all tools neat and in organized drawers.

A cabinet that has a lock and key can be utilized for dangerous chemicals that need to be kept out of the hands of children and away from pets.

Think about how the garage will appear from the curb when the door is raised

and create a design that will be functional and neat.

Potential buyers will notice this organization, better allowing them to see their belongings in this space.

Take the opportunity while the garage is empty to give walls and floors a fresh coat of paint and improve the lighting in the garage. A brighter garage makes for a better work station.

For those who can use a little extra help, there are professional garage organization companies that can come in and install custom cabinetry and work surfaces.

This can raise the value of your home, too.

Organizing a garage can be tedious, but the reward is ultimately worth the effort. ■ Metro Creative Services

Sip, sample, stroll LoDo

Patrick Geipel of Elbert keeps a tight hold on the rope during his June 7 bull ride at the Elizabeth Stampede. Xtreme Bulls was the Stampede’s opening-night rodeo. It attracted an all-star lineup of rodeo cowboys, including six bull-riding qualifiers from the 2012 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. Photo by Deborah Grigsby

Boots, bulls big bucks and

In its 49th year, the Elizabeth Stampede rodeo attracts some of the top talent across the country. Nearly 100 of the 287 contestants in the three Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association events over the June 7-9 weekend were former world champions, National Finals Rodeo participants, or Circuit Finals challengers.

This year’s Stampede again welcomed Xtreme Bulls, a professionally sanctioned bull riding event that pairs up the country’s best riders with the toughest bulls on the circuit, for thousands in prize money. Winners will go on to the Xtreme Bulls World Finals to be held in Ellensburg, Wash., over the Labor Day weekend. More than 300 volunteers helped make the Stampede possible.

You can enjoy a night in historic Lower Downtown, walk the neighborhood and enjoy small bites of the restaurants’ fare during LoDo Bites.

At each stop, participants will enjoy varied cuisines with some restaurants offering select wine, drink specials and signature desserts.

This popular annual event in LoDo will return on June 25 from 5 to 9 p.m.

Tickets are $35 in advance, $45 the day of the event. Group sales are available at a discounted price of $30 sold in blocks of 10.

Or you may mail a check to: LoDo District, Inc., 1616 17th St., Suite 478, Denver, CO 80202. Make checks payable to: LoDo District, Inc. Your ticket assigns you a restaurant indicating where to begin your tour.

From there, you have up to four hours to sample the fare of 25 LoDo restaurants, bite by bite. Limited tickets will be sold, so don’t miss out on this hot ticket.

Participating restaurants for the event, sponsored by LoDo District, Inc., include some of Denver’s finest, such as Bistro Vendome, Euclid Hall, Coohills, TAG, The Squeaky Bean and Vesta Dipping Grill.

Visit www.lodobites.com/index. html to learn more about LoDo Bites or check out all 20 of LoDo’s finest dining venues.

Elway’s is flying high

Elway’s DIA opened for airport travelers on June 10. Here are the facts: Elway’s opened at the Center Court on Concourse B at Denver International Airport.

The opening coincided with United Airlines’ maiden flight from Denver to Tokyo.

Elway’s DIA, the fourth location for the steakhouse chain (the original in Cherry Creek, Downtown at the RitzCarlton and in Vail), will be open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant will seat approximately 147 guests, with a main dining area, bar seating and a patio.

Michael Jackson fans won’t want to miss The Ultimate Thriller — The Michael Jackson Tribute on June 21 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

Fawlty Towers Hotel has room for laughs British TV farce onstage in Denver

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Time: 1977; place: Fawlty Towers, a Victorian hotel in Torquay, England, operated by one Basil Fawlty and his wife, Sybil.

Four segments of the popular British TV series, written by John Cleese (Monty Python) and Connie Booth, are packaged for an onstage visit with cranky Basil Fawlty and his various guests and staff.

Acts are called “Hotel Inspectors,” “The Anniversary,” “Communication Problems” (my favorite) and “Waldorf Salad.”

All take place on Colin Roybal’s twostory Victorian set — quite a feat in the small Bug Theatre where Equinox Theatre Company performs.

Painted Cats charity event

I’m allergic to cats, but painted cats are a different tale.

The Cat Care Society debuted its “Tails of the Painted Cats” summer tour in May, but it runs through July 11 and the fundraiser concludes with a July 20 gala event and auction at Pinehurst Country Club in southwest Denver.

The painted cats were designed and painted by various Denver-area artists and cat lovers.

Douglas M. Tisdale (the honorable mayor of Cherry Hills Village) will serve as auctioneer and my favorite weatherman, Channel 4’s Ed Greene, will be emcee the event.

For more information, visit www.catcaresociety.org/paintedcats.html.

Here’s the list of the remaining “Tails

with it. Matt Maxwell’s quarrelsome Basil Fawlty manages to be uniformly rude to all his guests and gets similar treatment from forceful Mrs. Richards (Carole Maschka), who issues orders and doesn’t want to turn on her hearing aid because it will run down the batteries.

She doesn’t like her room and thinks she’s been robbed …. Her ocean view is right there, Basil says, “Between the land and the sky!”

Questions/misunderstandings about money, identity, food and drink (including screwdrivers and Waldorf salad) and general day-to-day operations give assorted dingbat guests a chance to shine.

Comic timing skills are not quite there at all times, but presumably those skills will improve as the show continues its run.

It’s hard to maintain the level as written by comic genius Cleese — and keep a consistent British accent going too.

Hotel waiter Manuel (Mark Shonsey) is especially funny and Sybil Fawlty has a fine snort with her laugh.

Company director Deb Flomberg designed a nice collection of costumes and makes a couple of brief appearances in the cast.

This offers a lighthearted evening in a nifty part of Denver — the Highland neighborhood.

Circa 1921 Patsy’s is right across the street with old-fashioned Italian food, and several longstanding Denver art galleries (Pirate, Zip, Edge) are on the block — open on Friday nights.

What a joy it is to see this little gem of a musical — “Baby” — with its lovely score and clever lyrics, played by a top-notch cast.

Cherry Creek Theatre has scored again!

“Baby,” with book by Sybil Pearson, based on a story developed with Susan Yankowitz, music by David Shire and lyrics

by Richard Maltby Jr., is a pleasing contrast to the prevailing mega-musicals that are on the road. But is does mean each actor must shine — and they do.

Three couples each expect a baby and have different reactions and subsequent stories. An ensemble fills in assorted other roles with skill.

Director Pat Payne has pulled the production into a fine-tuned package in the attractive but limited space at Shaver Ramsey Rug Showroom, with a pair of pianos tucked to the side and production logistics enhanced by veteran designer/director Richard Pegg.

Choreography by Piper Arpan is low-key and fits the space.

Alan and Arlene (Brian Walker Smith and Megan Van De Hay) are a mature couple with three grown daughters. She is alarmed and contemplating abortion, while he is

IF YOU GO “Baby” plays through June 23 at Shaver-Ramsey Showroom, 2414 East Third Ave., Denver. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 6:30 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $28/$25. 303-800-6578, cherrycreektheatre.org. (We’d suggest advance reservations on this one as seating is limited.)

Brian Walker Smith and Megan Van De Hay play Alan and Arlene in Cherry Creek Theatre’s production of “Baby.”

Each of these characters is presented with depth and skill, which makes an evening of satisfying theater. Many in the audience will relate to some part of these stories.

Each story is appealing, touching and, in particular, about love, without being cloyingly sweet.

The ensemble fills in assorted characters, notably Ben Dicke’s doctor who tries to advise Nick and Pam in a particularly inept manner.

Ducky Derby helps raise thousands of dollars for the Castle Rock and Castle Pines Rotary Clubs each year as toy ducks race down Plum Creek, with the winning three ducks bringing cash prizes to three lucky individuals.

Lucky ducks?

Photos by Ryan boldRey Plum Creek was the place to be June 8 in Castle Rock as more than 4,000 people flocked to the creek to watch thousands of toy ducks race the rapids. The Ducky Derby, an annual fundraiser for the Castle Pines and Castle Rock Rotary Clubs, raised more than $30,000 and three winners took home cash prizes, with the first-place winner collecting $2,000.

theater teacher looks back … and ahead Dignan has plans for new company

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “Les Miserables,” “Aida,” “Legally Blonde,” “Doubt, “ “Amadeus,” “Of Mice and Men,” “To Kill a Mockingbird,” “Gem of the Ocean,” “Seven Guitars,” “Jesus Christ Superstar” and many more … Barb Dignan mounted more than 35 Broadway-type productions in her 13 years with Highlands Ranch High School’s drama department, plus some created by students in her classroom.

Her only repeats were “The Crucible” and “Dracula” because the kids wanted them.

The choice of shows each year depended on the particular talents available among her students, but they also were a vehicle for education. “Amadeus,” for example, taught 100 kids about Mozart, she commented.

And the two August Wilson plays, “Gem of the Ocean” and “Seven Guitars,” taught students, both white and black, about this great African-American playwright.

Dignan found that the black kids didn’t know his history and she wanted them to know him.

She is proud of students who went into theater careers: a lighting designer on

Broadway and others in tech programs. A number of former students are working in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City, and one is with Showtime sports entertainment.

Another teaches high school theater on the East Coast, and Dignan counts an associate producer on Broadway among her former students.

Six graduates were accepted to the University of Northern Colorado’s prestigious acting program, with one full-ride scholarship. (The program only accepts 30 new graduate students a year from as many as 2,000 applicants.)

Two more from the 2013 class have been accepted.

Jan Wilusz, a good friend who started creating costumes when her own child was in Dignan’s productions, held a surprise retirement party where alumni came from near and far — some even flew in.

As Dignan retires, her love of theater is undiminished and she dreams of starting a local theater company. She doesn’t plan on large-scale musicals.

“I want to do small shows with good scripts, a good story,” she says, and is certain there will be interested participants among the many former students in the area.

“We will need corporate help,” she realizes, and she will need to find or create a venue — hopefully somewhere in Highlands Ranch.

Drama teacher Barb Dignan of Highlands Ranch has accumulated a costume collection at home, which she hopes to use in future community productions. Courtesy photo She has a collection of costumes and props she personally paid for in the 13 years she produced theater at Highlands Ranch High School, and she speaks especially fondly of props.

If she were to go another direction in the theater world, it would perhaps be props.

Dignan was discouraged as a young person from studying theater, although her mother was a German actress.

She graduated from Georgia Southern in special education and used creative energy in crafts when a young mother with babies.

She first taught special education and ninth-grade English at Highlands Ranch,

while taking theater classes at Denver Center Theatre Company and at University of Northern Colorado in the summers.

After predecessor Wally Larson retired, she began in the theater department, building a department where the students came to hang out as well as act and learn technical theater.

“There is nothing I could have loved more,” she declares.

She has 500 Facebook friends and she hopes they and other interested people will contact her about starting that new theater company in Highlands Ranch. (Barbdignan@gmail.com, 303-803-8182.)

House Approves Coffman’s Improving Job Opportunities for Veterans Act On May 21st, the U.S. House Representatives passed H.R. 1412, the Improving Job Opportunities for Veterans Act of 2013, with overwhelming bipartisan support.

The legislation was introduced by U.S. Representative Mike Coffman (R-Colo) in response to his concerns for the growing number of unemployed Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.

“As a Marine Corps Combat veteran, I understand the unique experiences and challenges of armed services members returning home from abroad. It is imperative that we maximize the opportunities for the thousands of young men and women returning from Iraq and Afghanistan,” said Rep. Mike Coffman The Improving Job Opportunities for Veterans Act will increase the availability of on-the-job training and apprenticeship programs to help veterans make the transition to the civilian workforce. This legislation builds on an existing, yet little known and under-utilized, on-the-job training programs that help veterans learn a trade or skill by participation in an approved apprenticeship or on-the-job training program.

“The on-the-job training benefit within the New GI Bill, which we strongly supported, is one of the most underutilized benefits available to veterans for job skills

training. IAVA stands ready to support and promote innovative ideas like this to end the veterans’ unemployment crisis once and for all,” said Tom Tarantino of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA).

Congressman Coffman explained that, “We have nearly 400,000 veterans in Colorado and unemployment for them, especially young returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan between ages 20 and 24, was 19% in April. These young individuals have great leadership capabilities and unique skills sets they learned while in uniform but need help in connecting to opportunities in the domestic job market.”

H.R. 1412 will incentivize employers to reach out to veterans because the legislation authorizes the VA to pay a portion of the veteran’s salary for the first two years while the veteran is gaining on the job skills and certifications.

“Companies in my district have told me how beneficial this legislation can be for their operations because they know that veterans are hardworking, team-oriented individuals who are capable of learning the highly technical skills that are prevalent in many industries,” said Rep. Mike Coffman.

Colorado SBDC launches “Connec2DOT” website for small businesses in the transportation industry

The Colorado Small Business Development Centers Network (SBDC), in partnership with Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), launched the Connect2DOT website this week (www.connect2dot.org).

Connect2DOT provides free consulting, training and online resources for small businesses in the transportation industry. It is managed by the SBDC and funded by CDOT. The new website, which offers quick and easy access to essential information on doing business with CDOT, is part of Connect2DOT’s ongoing efforts to provide small and disadvantaged contractors with quality information and educational tools necessary to grow and succeed.

“The SBDC helps small and medium-size businesses with all aspects of their business, and for us to branch out to assist with providing more resources in this specialized area of transportation makes perfect sense,” said Kelly Manning, State Director of the Colorado SBDC Network.

“We are thrilled to partner with CDOT and help our businesses advance in this area of expertise.”

The website is organized to help contractors that are just getting started and those that are looking to build their business. Resources have been collected from various sources and consolidated into one centralized location, making it easier to find CDOT project opportunities, get certified as a small business, connect with prime contractors, and register for relevant training and events.

“The launch of the Connect2DOT website marks a key milestone in our overall plan to expand small business resources to communities throughout Colorado under the direction of the Colorado SBDCs. There is now a one-stop online resource for contractors that puts all of the information they need to compete for CDOT contracts right at their fingertips,” said Greg Diehl, Manager of the CDOT Civil Rights & Business Resource Center.

Other features of the website include an industry-wide event calendar, an interactive map of statewide SBDC locations, an opt-in bid matching system, and an email newsletter. Please visit www.connect2dot.org for the best and most up-to-date information on small business contracting in the Colorado transportation industry.

As the program evolves, Connect2DOT kiosks with website access, monitors and printers will be placed at strategic locations throughout the state. One such kiosk will be placed at the South Metro Denver Small Business Development Center located at the Chamber. These kiosks will be free to use by any company interested in growing their business in the transportation industries.

“We are excited to host one of the Connect2DOT kiosks at the South Metro Denver SBDC. We will have a consultant dedicated to assisting clients grow their businesses in the transportation industry,” said Marcia McGilley, executive director of the South Metro Denver SBDC. The Colorado SBDC is a partnership between the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, the U.S. Small Business Administration, Colorado’s institutions of higher education, and local development organizations.

Baseball on front burner for quarterback Westmoreland heads into last year at ThunderRidge

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com It was a simple question and Brody Westmoreland was quick to answer.

The ThunderRidge High School senior-to-be is the school’s starting quarterback and All-State shortstop.

When asked if he would rather being throwing a football or a baseball this time of year, he probably wanted to say both, but quickly answered baseball.

“This early in June, I’ll being doing a lot of baseball,” said Westmoreland.

Westmoreland, who hit .455 with 40 runs batted in and seven home runs for the Class 5A state champion Grizzlies, is involved in summer baseball with Team Colorado in addition to making tournament trips to Oklahoma and Atlanta this month.

This is the same time that ThunderRidge is conducting 7-on-7 passing practices and scrimmages, but Grizzlies head football coach Joe Johnson understands his No. 1 quarterback is a premier baseball player who has committed to play at San Diego State.

“Coach Johnson is really cool,” said Westmoreland. “He knows I take baseball seriously. He knows I’m pretty committed to both sports.

“With the 7-on-7 we go through, it is kind of hard because I want to be prepared for football and be ready with all my teammates, but it’s the beginning of summer and I’m just wrapping up high school baseball and starting summer ball.”

Westmoreland is intent on continuing to develop as a complete baseball player.

“With baseball in the summer,

‘He knows I take baseball seriously.

He knows I’m pretty committed to both sports.’

Brody Westmoreland

I’m just working on developing myself as a baseball player and see what different things and aspects I can do to better myself,” he said.

“Once I get back at the end of the month, I’ll start participating in 7-on-7s every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the rest of July.”

Westmoreland threw for 1,702 yards and 13 touchdowns last fall for the ThunderRidge football team, which was a Class 5A semifinalist. He also rushed for 735 yards and 12 TDs. “We run the ball a lot with our offense, so this opportunity to do 7-on-7 gives us more of a time to incorporate our fast-pace, nohuddle offense,” Westmoreland said. “During our 7-on-7s we can run more of our two-minutes drills, get those passing routes down with the short and long routes.

“I get in a little trouble overlapping baseball and football, but luckily my coach is lenient with me and knows I put in a lot of work. Once I get back from going out of state and playing baseball, all my time is dedicated to football.”

Chaparral aims to unite baseball players Coaches try to ‘reel in’ varsity during summer

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews. com Summer baseball is the time for potential high school players to show their stuff.

Chaparral has been trying to keep all potential varsity players on the same summer team, which has become a tough, demanding assignment in recent years.

“What we’ve tried this year and we’ve done in the past is to try to keep as many of our spring varsity guys together as we possibly can,” said one of the Wolverines’ summer coaches, Ryan Serena. “It’s tough. I played here and both of our other coaches did too. We stayed around.

“In the last couple years, guys have started to go different directions, and we’ve tried to reel them in. We have a good core of our guys for next spring. One of the main purposes is to play together as a team. The more games you play together, the more comfortable you feel. You get out there in the spring and you feel you belong.”

This summer’s Chaparral team has a few players who will be seniors next season, a majority of juniors-to-be and a few participants who will be sophomores.

“It’s a good mix of guys who have been at the varsity level and guys that have played at the lower levels getting a chance to play up against better competition,” said Serena.

Summer could also an audition time for players.

“Definitely,” said Serena.

Spencer Olwell is one player who can attribute a good summer season for a position on the Chaparral varsity.

“Our guy (Olwell) that is hitting in the 3-hole played last summer and he was a sophomore last spring,” explained Serena. “He played last summer and just raked, he was hitting the ball, hitting the ball. We got to see that all summer long.

“Come spring we need a designated hitter and he was the guy. He hit in the 5-hole for us.

We were in the Final Eight in the spring and he was a big part of that. That was huge for him because that was a senior-dominated group in the spring, but because of what he did last summer here in front of us, he definitely

earned his spot.”

Olwell hit .321 with 12 runs batted in for the Continental League co-champion Wolverines in the spring.

Chaparral qualified for the championship bracket in the June 7-9 Cherry Creek Classic but lost to a team from Billings, Mont. The Wolverines went 2-3 in the non-qualifying portion of the Creek tournament, but Chaparral went 6-0 to win a recent tourney at Highlands Ranch.

“It’s been a good summer so far,” said Serena.

Some of the other key players for the Wolverines this summer besides Olwell have been Keenan Eaton, who played center field for Chaparral in the spring, Davis Clark and Cole Halpin.

Halpin, who pitched some for the Wolverines in the spring, is making a bid to be Chaparral’s first baseman next season. Halpin was 3-1 in 20 innings pitched, with a 2.80 earned run average, and made six appearances in the spring. He didn’t collect a hit in two plate appearances.

“He was one of our pitchers in the spring but didn’t play a ton in the field,” said Serena. “He’ll have the opportunity to take first base as his spot. He’s going to be a good player for us.”

sports roundup Local golfer qualifies

Chris Korte of the Lone Tree Golf Club was one of two qualifiers in the Boys 15-17 division in the two-day qualifying tournament, which concluded June 6 at Pelican Lakes Golf Club in Windsor, Colo.

Korte, a Highlands Ranch student who will be a senior at Regis Jesuit, will now play in the Callaway Junior World Golf Championship July 16-19 at Torrey Pines in San Diego.

A student at Jake’s Academy in Lone Tree, Korte took medalist honors with rounds of 1-under-par 71 and 3-under-par 69 for a 4-under-par 140 two-round total.

Callie Ringsby and Hannah Wood qualified for the Callaway Junior World tournament in the Girls 15-17 division.

Ringsby, the Class 5A girls state champion from Cherry Creek, took medalist honors in the two-day qualifying event that wrapped up June 6 at Flatirons Golf Course in Boulder.

Ringsby, representing the Denver County Club, had rounds of 65 and 74 to finish with a 1-under-par total of 139.

Wood, an Arapahoe High School golfer from South Suburban Family Sports, had rounds of 71 and 69 to finish a stroke behind Ringsby at 140.

Duo third in father-son tourney

Hayden and George Nicholaides, listed out of the South Suburban Family Sports golf course, finished third in the CGA FatherSon Championships June 8-9 at Redlands Mesa in Grand Junction.

The Nicholaides duo fired a 2-under-par 70 in the first-round Chapman Scotch format and finished with a 72 in the alternateshot setup on the final day to finish at 142, seven shots out of first place.

Hayden Nicholaides will be a senior golfer at Lutheran when school resumes.

Horacek tabbed by Orioles

Former ThunderRidge pitcher Mitch Horacek, a junior southpaw at Dartmouth, was selected in round 10 of the Major League Baseball draft by the Baltimore Orioles.

It was the second time Horacek has been tabbed in the draft.

The Colorado Rockies picked him late in the 2010 draft.

Horacek, 6-foot-6, 210 pounds, was 6-2 in the spring for Dartmouth with a 2.20 earned run average and three complete games.

Opposing batters hit only .241 against him and he had a 4.2 strikeout-to-walk ratio that was the second best in the Ivy League.

Twisters make for memorable trip Girls softball team forced to take shelter in Oklahoma

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com A recent out-of-state trip by the DC Jaguars 14Under girls softball team had a twist to it.

The team, mostly made up of Douglas County middle-school players, was in Oklahoma City and primed to play in the Oklahoma Challenge tournament when multiple tornados passed through the area May 31.

“We were eating in a restaurant and the sirens starting going off,” said coach Liza Rosa. “We had to evacuate the restaurant. They sent us to an underground parking convention center. We were told to get against the wall because a tornado was coming.

“We were down there for 3½ hours waiting for the tornado to come by and clear us. It was headed our way. I’m not sure how close it got. When they said it was coming and to get close to the wall, it veered and went southwest. It didn’t go over us in the parking garage. We were very lucky.”

Lucky but scared.

“The girls were scared,” recalled Rosa. “None of them had experienced a tornado before. They were scared because they just didn’t know what was going to happen.

It was the unknown. They were upset. Some of them were crying.

All the girls had their parents with them. We had little kids there too. “ Rosa, however, had a reassuring talk with a woman who was also waiting out the storm in the parking garage.

“You didn’t know if we were in

the safest place, but this lady that was standing next to us was from Oklahoma and she said she was here in ‘87 and it was a bad tornado and this place did not fall down and the tornado went right over us,” said Rosa. “So that made us feel a little better. She said, `It’s not coming down and we’re going to be fine.’”

The scenes on the way back to the hotel after the tornadoes had passed will surely leave some memories.

“When we went back to the hotel, all the lights were out on the street,” said Rosa. “You would come up on a tree, a car or something that you would have to go around and there was flooding everything. We got back to the hotel and we didn’t have any lights. We were in the dark.

“Afterwards, the girls would hear a certain sound and think it was a siren. You could just see the fear in their eyes.”

All tournament games were postponed June 1, and the Jags played two games on June 2 and three on June 3. The team finished fifth in the tournament.

“Considering everything that went on, the girls did phenomenal,” bragged Rosa. “We finished fifth out of 39 teams. It was very different. The College World Series (women’s softball) was going on.

Although we had a real bad experience Friday (May 31), since we didn’t have any games Saturday (June 1), the girls were able to go to some World Series games and get autographs.

“One of our players when we were down in the parking garage got autographs of all the Arizona State team. They got sent down there too. So despite everything that happened, there were a few good things that happened.”

on a roll PHOTOS BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY

With the wind pushing and gravity pulling, local youths put their racing skills to the test at the 2013 Sertoma Mile High Soap Box Derby, held June 7-9 at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds. The derby is a youth racing program for boys and girls ages 8 to 17, challenging them to build their own gravity-powered car, suitable to compete in four different divisions.

This is the first year the derby has been held at the fairgrounds, and many who attended, as well as raced, welcomed the wide-open space and less traffic.

Soap Box racer Caitlyn Benkoski keeps a keen eye on the competition as she competes in the Seventh Annual Sertoma Mile High Soap Box Derby June 9 at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds. Kids ages 8 to 17 race home-built gravity-powered cars in four divisions for a chance to reach the All-American Soap Box Derby held in July in Akron, Ohio.
