PARKER DAYS TO REMEMBER

Republican victor will face Democrat, Libertarian in fall By Vic Vela

Riders anticipate the drop on the Super Shot at Parker Days.

Three days of pleasant weather spurred yet another incredible turnout at the 37th annual Parker Days festival in downtown Parker June 13-15. Children devoured snow cones, teens screamed on rides, boot-scooters got in some line dancing, and dads won carnival prizes for their children on Father’s Day. The regional festival further solidified community bonds and got families out for some early summer sunshine.

Four Republican candidates who are vying to fill an open 4th Congressional District seat are touting their conservative values to voters as the June 24 primary draws near. The hopefuls are seeking a seat that is being vacated by U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner, who is leaving the House of Representatives in a bid to unseat Democratic Sen. Mark Udall this fall. The predominately rural district encompasses Colorado’s eastern plains. The district reaches northern cities, including Greeley and parts of Longmont, but it also includes some communities near Denver, including Parker, Castle Rock, Lone Tree and Elbert County. Gardner has thrown his support behind Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck to succeed him in the CD4 race. Buck — who narrowly lost a 2010 Senate race against Sen. Michael Bennet — is the household name among the four candidates looking to take over Gardner’s seat. “People talk about name recognition, but I think what I have is a brand,” Buck said. “People understand I am a fiscal conservative and I have a passion to reduce spending.” CD4 voters are hearing that same message from the other three candidates in the race: state Sen. Scott Renfroe; Weld County Commissioner Barbara Kirkmeyer; and Steve Laffey, a New England transplant who was once the mayor of Cranston, Rhode Island. Laffey lives just outside the district in Larimer County, where he raises cattle. The former head of a Tennessee-based brokerage firm, Laffey is a passionate fiscal conservative who hopes to help rein in federal spending, if elected. Laffey has been endorsed by former presidential candidate Herman Cain, a tea party darling. “I’ve never been endorsed by anybody,” Laffey quipped when asked about the significance of Cain’s endorsement. “Politicians hate me.” Renfroe, of Greeley, has represented state Senate District 13 since 2006. A fiscal and social conservative, Renfroe believes that his opponents cannot match his conservative credentials. “I support personhood and traditional marriage,” Renfroe said. “I’m a proven conservative with a proven conservative voting record. You can say you support things, but until you’ve been on a legislative body and voted on things, there’s CD 4 continues on Page 8

Parker teens to appear in indie movie Film to include allColorado cast and crew By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com For years, actress and film producer Ronda Belser has seen Hollywood studios come to Colorado to shoot a movie only to cast from out of state. Her latest and probably most ambitious project aims to change that trend. The film industry has a history of casting from New York and Los Angeles, but “Body Keepers,” an independent horror movie with an all-Colorado cast and crew, is meant to showcase in-state talent. That includes two eager, fresh-faced teens from Parker, Kristi Hoopes and Karlie McLaren. Belser, a Screen Actor’s Guild member who moved back to Denver from L.A. 10 years ago in favor of corporate management, still dabbles in movies, television and commercial voiceovers. It has been “discouraging” to see major studios bypass, if not dismiss, local talent, she says. Her film not only is utilizing writers, di-

what is ‘body keepers’ about? The film is based around the true story of Bredo Morstol, whose grandson brought his cryogenically frozen body to Nederland, Colo., in 1993. Since officials discovered his body on dry ice in a shed on the family’s property, the town has celebrated “Frozen Dead Guy Days” as a way to boost tourism. Legal battles have ensued over the keeping of the body on the property, as well as rights to the family’s story. The movie focuses on a fictitious group of teens who sneak into the shed before the start of “Frozen Dead Guy Days” only to discover there is much more going on. rectors, producers and actors from Colorado, it is being shot on location in Denver, Lyons and Nederland — the latter of which is the primary setting for the teen horror flick. Belser, the creator and executive producer for “Body Keepers,” put out casting calls in 20 Colorado cities with 320 people auditioning. McLaren and Hoopes made the top 25 after auditioning at the Philip S. Miller Library in Castle Rock. From there, it was up to online voters to decide who the main characters would be. Even those who don’t land a major part get a smaller role. At the urging of investors who wanted to make sure she was serious about the project, Belser quit her job at a Fortune 500 job to dedicate herself full time to “Body Keepers.” She has also enlisted a handful of Hollywood veterans, including Shelly Cole, who had a recurring role on “Gilmore Girls” and is now contributing her time and expertise to help the teen actors. Hoopes, a student at Legend High School, views the entire experience as a learning opportunity. Having never acted on camera before, she found her way through auditions, callbacks and script readings before landing a speaking role that also incorporates her interest in singing. “However you get your foot in the door, it doesn’t matter what door it is,” said

Kristi Hoopes, of Parker, left, looks at a promotional flier with executive producer Ronda Belser, who devised the idea to make a film with a Colorado-based cast and crew to promote the state as a movie-making destination. Photo by Chris Michlewicz Hoopes, 16. Belser took an innovative approach to putting the movie together. She was partly inspired by Boulder-based Hitching Post Theater, which requires a writer to quickly create a script based on the headshots of the two main characters. The actors then get an hour or two to rehearse with a director before a one-act production in front of an audience. The making and viewing of the show, from start to finish, happens in one day. “It forces the actors to memorize their lines quickly and to trust your instincts when you’re up there,” she said. “There’s this fear in it and it’s intense.” Low-budget films that became wildly popular, such as “The Blair Witch Project” and “Paranormal Activity,” further inspired Belser. And with a budget of less than $100,000 for “Body Keepers,” she has carefully researched the secrets to the creators’

success. They are shooting with a Red Digital Camera, a high-quality device that has been used in feature films. Belser said she does not want to make a B movie and wants to make Colorado proud while putting its film industry workers on the map and offering them a chance to work on something unique. Belser is motivated to create something special, ideally a film that generates a groundswell of interest. But she has encountered her fair share of doubters, who give her a sarcastic “good luck” when they discover the “lightning speed” at which “Body Keepers” is being made, she said. The film will start shooting within the next two weeks, and Belser is laser-focused on a mid-October release in 50 Colorado theaters, just in time for Halloween.

PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISMENT

ANDERSON THREATENED BY SHERIFF WEAVER TO BE ARRESTED ANDERSON STANDS UP FOR CITIZENS Thank you Douglas County for the genuine support to bring in NEW LEADERSHIP and end the 33 year regime of the Sheriff’s Department. Exercising my 1st Amendment Right angered the Sheriff so badly, he ordered his captain to arrest me for “Harassment” and threatened me. If after reading this you share my concern, help me make a change. Every vote is critical and as a WRITE IN candidate, voters must actually write my name on the ballot. The Incidents: After speaking at a GOP meeting in Castle Rock, I offered to shake Sheriff Weaver’s hand. He refused, motioned to the door & told me to “move on”. I was stunned. He told me if I said one more word he would arrest me for harassment. He again told me to “move on” motioning to the door. I did not leave, so he ordered his Captain to arrest me if I say one more word. Two weeks before this, the Sheriff refused my handshake by crossing his arms and looking away. Apparently this encouraged learned behavior and my opponent (his handpicked successor) refused my hand as well. I have been threatened physically twice - once over the phone and recently the Sheriff told some people he wanted to “take me out behind the barn and settle things”. “Do What I Say Not What I Do” Attitude: Leadership starts at the top and creates a culture of behavior. We teach our children not to be bullies or intimidate people, yet these are the actions of a very entrenched regime many are afraid of. I am standing up against this regime because I believe we are here to protect our citizens, not intimidate them or rule by fear. If they do this to a 36 year Police Commander in his own jurisdiction, what should our citizens and children expect? MY TOP CONCERNS: Safety of Children and Families: Budget of $1M/week & some shifts only 8 patrol deputies county-wide & 1 for the entire southern half of Douglas County to respond to 911 calls. Pay for Performance: I am a capitalist and believe the people that work harder, earn more. That’s America. The current regime has a Union type step grade. Higher Taxes/Bigger Government: Current $20M/year tax and $50M more to spend without your say. Recent $28M infirmary expansion and parking garage not needed according to their own study. Is this more important than your family’s safety? I will take it back to the voters to decide the priority for these taxes or refund it.

No other discounts or offers apply.

Help us change the current culture and bring in NEW LEADERSHIP. Write in ‘ JOHN ANDERSON’ on your ballot for sheriff. Please take a moment and visit my website, www.Andersonforsheriff.org PAID FOR BY COMMITTEE TO ELECT JOHN ANDERSON

Commissioner Hilbert to vacate seat early Republican also withdraws from HD-44 candidacy Staff report Jack Hilbert is leaving his post as Douglas County commissioner earlier than planned, having accepted a job with the state. On June 18, the county announced that Hilbert, commissioner for District 1, will vacate his seat effective July 13, approximately six months before the conclusion of his second and final term. On June 16, Hilbert accepted an offer from the Colorado Department of Human Services, Child Welfare Protection Division, as the Child Welfare Hotline System manager beginning July 14. Hilbert, who co-chaired the task force that helped create the call center, will oversee the department’s Hilbert new statewide Child Welfare Protection hotline, scheduled to launch Jan. 1. “Although my plan had been to complete my second term as commissioner and then to continue serving Douglas HAVE AN EVENT? To submit a calendar listing, send information to calendar@ coloradocommunitymedia.com or by fax to 303-566-4098.

County as a state representative, the opportunity to serve and protect our state’s youngest and most vulnerable population was an opportunity I could not let pass me by,” Hilbert said in a news release. “I look forward to serving the children and families of the state of Colorado.” Hilbert said he would no longer seek the House District 44 seat he had been campaigning for. He was the only Republican on the June 24 primary ballot and it was not immediately known if the GOP would have another candidate pursue the post in the general election. Hilbert will oversee the launch of the statewide hotline for reporting child abuse and neglect. The hotline will allow the state and counties to receive and answer calls from mandatory reporters and concerned citizens who suspect incidents of child abuse or neglect. Calls will be routed through a central source and answered by professionally trained, county responders. Between now and that time, Hilbert will lead efforts to formalize the routing system so that state and county officials can properly track the number of calls, time of assessment and response, and produce means for evaluating the success of the hotline. “We will miss Jack’s leadership, his positive approach to

problem-solving and the energy he brings to all opportunities and challenges,” County Commissioner and board chair Roger Partridge said in the release. “We had been anticipating and planning for Commissioner Hilbert’s departure since the year began, as we do when a board member is in their final term. With this news of his early departure, we will expedite the transition plan.” Two Republicans are seeking the District 1 commissioner post, Douglas County Sheriff David Weaver and businessman Stevan Strain, and one will emerge from the June 24 primary election. No Democrats have declared for the November general election. The process to replace Hilbert in the interim will begin after he officially steps down on July 13. As of that date, the Douglas County Republican party will have 10 days to elect an interim replacement to serve the remaining six months of Hilbert’s term — likely the primary winner, said county GOP chairman Craig Steiner. Hilbert was elected Douglas County Commissioner in November of 2006 and was re-elected to a second term in November 2010. He previously served in leadership positions in the public and private sector as well as corporate enterprise for 35 years.

If you’re going out of town for vacation this summer, you might feel safer knowing that the sheriff’s department is watching your home. For many years the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has offered its Home Watch or service for county residents who are away from their homes, for just a few days to as long as a month.

To register for Home Watch, go to www.dcsheriff.net. The information provided when registering for the service is recorded in the sheriff’s office database. It is accessible via the mobile display terminals in patrol cars and also viewable by Community Safety Volunteers. During the course of a patrol shift, deputies and volunteers will regularly check the Home Watch database and drive by the residence to assure that

everything is as it should be. Additionally, DCSO has established a procedure where families of deployed military personnel can contact the agency’s Community Resource deputies directly for support on any issue related to law enforcement. To provide a seamless interface to this system, deputies are available to meet with the military member and their family prior to deployment to discuss services and access methods.

Officers say they feared for lives during chase CJ Galley on trial in Castle Rock, facing attempted murder charges By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Deliberations began the morning of June 18 in the trial of CJ Galley, a Northglenn man accused of ramming police cars and shooting at pursuing officers during a high-speed chase. Shortly after Galley’s attorneys argued for the dismissal of charges they said do not match the alleged crimes, 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler delivered a pointed closing argument, methodically comparing the criteria for finding a defendant guilty with the details of the case. Galley has pleaded not guilty to the charges, which include attempted first-degree murder with extreme indifference, a class-1 felony with mandatory sentencing guidelines. If the jury finds him guilty, it must find that Galley acted with “universal malice,” which is defined by “determination on the Galley part of the defendant to take life without knowing or caring who the victim may be,” Brauchler said. “He would do anything to get away (from police),” the DA said. “If he hurt or killed them in the process of getting away, he didn’t care.” Emily Wickham, Galley’s defense counsel, said her client was driving recklessly and there is insufficient evidence to justify the attempted first-degree murder charges, among others.

“This isn’t a case where Mr. Galley goes into a shopping mall and starts shooting randomly,” she said. Galley was originally charged with 39 separate counts, but the number was whittled down to 18 through various hearings leading up to the trial. Galley, 24, became emotional when Brauchler told the jury that Galley ditched his girlfriend, who was bleeding from a gunshot wound, at the end of the chase and fled on foot with alleged accomplice David Vasquez. “Tears or not,” the defendant made a series of decisions that put lives in jeopardy, said Brauchler, who did not refer to Galley by name. During her closing statement, Wickham argued that Galley was afraid the police would kill him and “panicked” when they tried to arrest him. She said she was not asking for them to set Galley free, but to find him guilty of lesser charges. At times, some of the police officers involved in the chase — a dozen of whom attended the hearing — shook their heads in surprise at the defense arguments. The jury had not come back with a verdict by press time; go to www.parkerchronicle.net for updated coverage.

How the chase unfolded One after another, a line of police officers took the stand and said they feared for their lives during the February 2013 high-speed chase from Castle Rock to Parker. Galley sat quietly at the defense table, dressed in a vest, button-up shirt and tie throughout the six-day trial in front of Douglas County District Court Judge Richard Caschette at the Robert A. Christensen Justice Center in Castle Rock. Officers from various agencies testified at length about a

“chaotic” scene at the Taco Bell on Plum Creek Parkway in Castle Rock on Feb. 22, 2013, saying Galley repeatedly rammed undercover vehicles in a Dodge Ram 3500 to escape an organized arrest on a felony warrant for assault on an officer. Once he had enough room to maneuver, Galley allegedly drove over the legs of Commerce City police Detective Rob Feeney, who was thrown to the ground when his undercover vehicle was hit. Commerce City police Detective Jeremy Jenkins testified that speeds reached 125 mph on Crowfoot Valley Road, where Galley turned off his headlights for 10 seconds and veered into oncoming lanes before reaching Parker. Jenkins and Broomfield police Sgt. Erik Fredrick told jurors that the driver they were chasing fired two shots at them. Fredrick, who was holding an M-4 assault rifle during the pursuit, testified that he was prepared to use lethal force if the driver exited the truck. Three Parker police officers took the stand June 13, including Greg Epp, who was forced to run to avoid being run over by the speeding truck when it drove off Crowfoot Valley Road just south of Stroh Road and through a ditch to miss a set of spike strips. “I got out of there as fast as I could… so I didn’t get hit and killed,” said Epp, who testified that the truck passed within 5 feet of him at a high speed. Three Parker officers shot at the vehicle after it passed by, including Epp, who fired six times. One of his rounds hit Gwen Devilbiss, the rear seat passenger in the truck, in the arm. Vasquez, who was in the passenger seat, has been charged and will be tried separately. The chase ultimately ended in the Clarke Farms subdivision after the occupants ditched the vehicle and fled on foot. They were apprehended hours later.

Elbert County reaches out for help with deer Growth of herd prompts letter to state commission By Rick Gustafson

Special to Colorado Community Media The Elbert County commissioners discussed options for managing the county’s growing deer population at their June 11 meeting. In a letter being drafted to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission, the county commissioners propose working with the agency to study the issue of growing wildlife populations in Elbert County as well as developing a program that could someday serve as a model for other communities with similar wildlife issues. “We need to look at a plan that addresses the population and the safety issues of the western side of the county,” said Commissioner Robert Rowland. “The Department of Wildlife is willing to work with us on that.” Commissioner Rowland, whose district is most affected by the rising deer population, has received a number of queries from constituents concerned about the proliferation of deer and the danger presented by wildlife on roadways. Rowland said the Parks and Wildlife Commission acknowledges the increasing number of wildlife conflicts around the county but has no model to manage habitats in heavily developed areas. “Everyone seems to agree there is a dramatic increase in the deer population in Elbert County’s western side,” he said. “We are looking to manage the herd in a professional culling fashion under very controlled conditions, with a high education and a high communication level to the citizens that are affected.” In response to the reported increase in wildlife-related car accidents and animal aggressiveness, Colorado Parks and Wildlife issued 400 additional hunting licenses for a special

season in late 2013. The C Licenses awarded in a statewide lottery permitted hunting during the last three months of the year in Colorado Game Management Unit 104, an area extending west from the town of Elizabeth to Parker Road in neighboring Douglas County. While the county commissioners agreed that the special season in 2013 was a good start, they hope to refine the conditions in which the special licenses are issued, specifically addressing concerns about firing hunting rifles in close proximity to residences and the possibility that hunters from out of the area might not respect private property. As a follow-up to the special hunting season, the Elbert County Sheriff’s Posse participated in surveys conducted by the Parks and Wildlife Commission to count deer in prescribed areas as well as on roadways. “The additional season did seem beneficial, and according to the Division of Wildlife, it did turn out well,” said Lt. Tony Schiefelbein of the Elbert County Sheriff’s Office. “We had no record of complaints for poaching. We had no safety issues in that season.” County Commissioner Larry Ross also proposed the county apply for a state grant to build game fences along critical roadways such as Highway 86.

Predators get caught in the Net Law enforcement patrols a dark, online world in the name of child safety By Hannah Garcia

Special to Colorado Community Media Although it’s no secret that the Internet provides plenty of dark corners that harbor new ways to commit old crimes, Sgt. Shawn Cronce said there is a misconception about a certain series of online crimes. “People like to think, `oh, it doesn’t happen here.’ It does, it happens everywhere,” Cronce said, citing a pile of seven case reports still waiting to be written. “I could work (on these cases) 24/7 and never make a dent.” Cronce heads the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office’s Internet Crimes Against Children program. A typical day for the detective may include chatting as a 13-year-old girl or downloading child pornography as she builds evidence against online offenders, parts of sting operations that are the crux of these types of investigations. DCSO tallied 15 ICAC arrests in 2013 and has made at least eight arrests so far this year. The majority of the arrests center on Internet luring charges, a Class-4 felony, and the manufacture, possession or distribution of child pornography, a Class-3 felony. “Hand over fist, I download child pornography all day long,” Cronce said. “Sadly, I can make a Class-3 felony case in less than five minutes.” Cronce views nearly everything she downloads while making a child pornography case, which usually elicits an “it-was-an-accident” defense from perpetrators, she said. But browser history and hard drive content typically dispel any believable defense, she said. “The way I look at it, if they have to endure it, I can stand to watch it (in the process of making a case),” she said, calling it a “memorialization of their sexual abuse.” By law, anything pornographic involving someone under the age of 18 constitutes child pornography. Cronce said parents should be wary of letting children have too much freedom online

and with their phones, because “sexting” fodder sometimes comes up in her cases. After nine years of working these kinds of cases, Cronce said her motto is still the same: “Let’s go get ‘em.” “I will work them as long as they will let me,” Cronce said. “It’s not like people are beating down my door to get my position. There are times that I have to get up and take a walk because I just watched an infant being raped.”

A changing landscape Although Cronce and investigators like her around the country find most perpetrators on classifieds sites like Craigslist or Backpage, law professor Tom Clancy said an everdiversifying electronic arsenal is impacting ICAC investigations. Clancy is a law professor at the University of Mississippi and director of the National Institute for Justice and the Rule of Law. As director, he created the institute’s Cyber Crime Initiative, which helps state governments with training and model programs designed to attack computer-based crimes. “Law enforcement’s challenges are multiplied because they (predators) are mobile,” Clancy said, citing apps that allow users to wipe data and an increasing ability for parents to screen their children’s media usage. “All that does is add to the available points of contact,” Clancy said.

An `absurd’ defense As a legal defense, Clancy said a defendant has to prove a lack of predisposition and inducement to prove they were entrapped in an ICAC case. He said entrapment is “rarely successful,” calling it “a peculiar defense because the defendant is saying that I committed the crime but I did it because the government induced me to do it.” “Think about this, the government has to implant in your head that it’s a pretty good idea to have sex with kids,” Clancy said. “Investigators are just giving these guys what they think is an opportunity to do what they want to do with kids.” Cronce called the idea of entrapment “absurd.”

Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Shawn Cronce heads up DCSO’s Internet Crimes Against Children program. A typical day for the detective includes swapping files with online predators as she builds evidence against offenders. Photo by Ryan Boldrey “We’re not on the other end of the computer, holding a gun to their head,” the detective said. “These are sexually-explicit conversations. We also do not come up with the need. Entrapment means you give the person no other option but to act.” The detective said that during these online stings, suspects always believe they are speaking to someone “well under the age of 18” and it’s always the suspect that asks to meet.

`Allow children to be children’ It’s not uncommon for defendants to show up to a designated meeting area with condoms and “other things” when they believe they are meeting a child for sex, according to Douglas County prosecutor Gary Dawson, who is a part of the special victims unit. Most don’t have a criminal history and, thanks to shows like “To Catch a Predator,” are aware that law enforcement are fishing for pedophiles online, he said.

“That’s the scary part, they have a good idea there’s an investigator out there,” Dawson said. “That speaks to how dangerous those kind of offenders can be — that they’re not dissuaded by that kind of risk. They still move forward with it anyway because they’re set on it.” In luring cases, Cronce said that investigators don’t “lead the conversation” and only respond to the suspects, typically men, that she chats with online. She called it “gratifying” when prosecutors earn a conviction. “All of these guys demonstrate that these guys aren’t living in a fantasy world,” Clancy said. “I think the vast number of people caught up in these things are people who are predisposed. Is it unsavory? I’ll let other people make that call. What I do think is important is that persons who have this type of fantasy should be caught, punished and allow children to be children. “There’s just so many of them. It’s everywhere.”

Man convicted of luring details arrest By Hannah Garcia

Special to Colorado Community Media For Lakewood resident Ronald Laroy Lewis, the term “Internet crimes against children” didn’t mean much before April 10. “Then Kayla happened,” Lewis said. “Nightmare. Biggest nightmare yet.” Lewis, 34, was arrested on April 11, 2013 and charged with one count of Internet sexual exploitation of a child and Internet luring of a child, one day after a Douglas County investigator responded to a Craigslist ad that he posted saying he was looking for a “barely legal” woman for sex. “Kayla” was the persona designed by a Douglas County Sheriff’s Office investigator to nab predators online. She responded to the ad with a simple “hello” and told him that she was 14 years old in subsequent messages. He was convicted on April 16 of this year. “Prosecutors pointed and gestured at me, like I deserved to be put away for life,” he said. “All for something that wasn’t real in the first place.” Lewis, a Denver-based Libertarian activist and author, said the case against him was based on “typos and lies” and “theories and beliefs.” A court news release said he posted the ad on April 10, 2013, the same day that investigators contacted him pretending to be a 14-year-old girl, but Lewis said he posted it at least a month before. Suffering from a “deep” depression and an aching loneliness, Lewis claimed he was desperate for female companionship, aggressively posting and responding to Craigslist ads, sometimes with explicit photos of himself. But Lewis, using an app called Wickr that wipes messages after a certain time period, claimed that he never pursued underage females online. On Craigslist, he said it was not uncommon for people to misrepresent themselves

— a man pretending to be a woman or a user lying about their age — and said he never believed “Kayla” was actually 14-years-old. He admits that he had never encountered an older woman pretending to be 14, and that he continued a sexual conversation with the investigator after hearing the age on the second message. “The prosecution essentially told the jury my pain wasn’t real, that I was a monster after little ol’ Kayla,” Lewis said. “Sure. I’d really throw my life away over a 14-year-old.” When asked why he continued the conversation after knowing the girl’s age, Lewis said “the picture said they weren’t. The conversation said the same. My irrational mind.” Prosecutors alleged that Lewis offered “Kayla” sex, condoms and marijuana and provided directions to his home and a photo of his genitalia, but Lewis disputes the marijuana offering and said he never provided his actual address. More than anything, Lewis claimed that he never solicited sex from a minor during the past 17 years using the Internet. “One issue for me here is the construct of laws in society. I never imagined myself in this position ever,” Lewis said. “There are men right now one step away from falling into another trap. They’re devastated and starved for attention, sex, everything.” Douglas County prosecutor Gary Dawson, not speaking specifically about Lewis’ case, said that the majority of ICAC defendants are “outliers.” “The vast majority of citizens do the right thing (when confronted by an investigator pretending to be a teenager),” Dawson said. Lewis is scheduled to be sentenced June 27. He wonders where investigators were when he disengaged chatting with teenagers online in the past and said the process, from arrest to conviction, was “a painful road.” “I have gone my entire life without issue,” Lewis said. “This matter is my deepest regret.”

Castle Pines show puts autism in focus Percentage of proceeds help out special Denver school By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Artists from around the country came to Castle Pines to show their work and help raise money for Denver-based Firefly Autism this past weekend. The Village at Castle Pines Fine Art Show featured pieces from 25 different artists, kicking off with a private dinner June 13 and concluding with a weekend-long public exhibition. Tickets for the dinner cost $75, with all of the proceeds directly benefitting Firefly Autism. A percentage of all artist sales over the next two days also went to Firefly. Up for sale were bronze sculptures, paintings, glass, photography and other mediums. “All the restaurants (at The Village) participate,” said Jessie Ogas, vice president of social development for Firefly Autism. “They donate wine; we have Miller Coors

donating beer. We have great music. Everybody has a great time. It’s really cool.” Local artist Tim Zadee started the festival three years ago. “Three years ago, I came to this area to start an art show that would be available to the public. I had in mind an upscale, but small and quaint show,” Zandee said. “I had a lot of clients that live in the area, some of them were the store owners here, and when I said that I wanted to have a benefit or a charity working with the festival one of them mentioned Firefly Autism. Ever since then it’s been a great partnership. Some of their children have even attended Firefly Autism, so it’s been great to be able to help the cause.” Zandee said he tries to bring in artistsform around the countr and that each year about half of the artists are new to the show. Firefly Autism uses Applied Behavior Analysis to work with children ranging from 18 months to 21 years old. They currently serve between 150 and 200 children in metro Denver and along the Front Range in their year-round school and average 18,000 sessions of year with clients.

Artist David Hickman,25, hangs his work during the Village at Castle Pines Fine Art Show on June 15. Photo by Mike DiFerdinando According to Firefly Autism, children are currently being diagnosed at a rate of one in 42 for girls and one in 68 for boys. Ten years ago the combined rate was just one

Private school looking for space Model focuses on collaboration By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Daniel Rirdan describes himself as a world traveler, global strategist, educator, international speaker, entrepreneur and author. Now, he hopes to add head of a private school to the list. Rirdan is hosting a series of meetings this month to let people know about Threshold School, which he hopes to open somewhere in Centennial in August of next year. “Threshold School is designed to be a transformative, groundbreaking sixth- through 12th-grade independent school,” he writes on his website. “It will facilitate thought leaders and world change-makers, preparing its students to confront the big environmental, social and technological issues of this century and also giving them a distinct marketability edge.” The model is his own, he says, after much research. “There’s not really anything like it anywhere,” he said. He plans for it to look pretty much nothing like private school. For starters, tuition is $19,000 a year. Beyond that, there are no tests and no grades. “Students will not be formally assessed and graded,” he writes. “As evidence has shown, these things corrupt the learning environment. … Let’s not confuse student accountability (which is one of the school’s cornerstone values) with a requirement to perform some routines that otherwise one wouldn’t do in order to formally demonstrate to others that one is accountable.” There also won’t be any competitive events, either intermural or intramural competition. “This means that each student’s mission is to help everyone to make it,” he writes. “We all sink or swim together.” To people who think kids need to learn to lose, he says

simply, “They will. “They will learn to embrace failure, but not from something artificial. You still have goals. That’s real life.” There will be plenty of adventure, though, from whitewater rafting to obstacle courses, activities that foster teamwork without the competition. He calls collaboration one of the “soft skills,” along with problem solving, critical thinking, imagination and curiosity that employers most want. “Yet, when asked about their employees’ actual abilities, business executives overwhelmingly felt that new college graduates failed to meet expectations in these areas,” writes Rirdan. “Helping students develop these pertinent soft skills to the highest levels is what will set Threshold apart.” To that end, many classes will be conducted in bookclub style. “The salon will be a forum for the exploration of new ideas in the form of boisterous debates, intellectual heated discussions and also contemplative analysis on topics that encompass history, art, literature, and philosophy,” he said. Rirdan, who wrote “The Blueprint: Averting Global Collapse,” says he taught gifted kids in Arizona for a year, and has substituted in Boulder Valley and Jefferson County school districts for two years. He has two young children, and plans to send them through his program.

CULTIVATING YOUR SPIRITUAL SIDE Many people rely on their religious backgrounds to teach them about the meaning of life and death, provide explanations, and offer comfort. However, if you are not religious, that doesn’t mean that you cannot tend to the needs of the deceased and the living (including yourself) when faced with death. A funeral and burial need not necessarily be religious in nature. The funeral director can help develop a service and burial procedure that shows the utmost respect for the deceased while also providing a service that allows those attending the funeral time for celebration and remembrance. We are each born with an innate desire to respect life whether or not we have chosen a specific religious path for its expression. “I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringesth peace.”

nothing to back it up.” Kirkmeyer believes that her work as a Weld County commissioner has prepared her for a seat in Congress. Kirkmeyer, who has a dairy farming background and who once served under former Gov. Bill Owens, said the race is more than just about proving to voters who is the most conservative voice. “Yes, we all have conservative values,” she said. “But, to me, it’s about what have we actually done and accomplished and who is a proven leader and has an understating of how government works.” Kirkmeyer is proud of the 13 years she has spent working in county government. She said that Weld County has no debt and consistently pays tax refunds back to its residents. Like her opponents, Kirkmeyer believes Washington spending needs to be kept under control. “Washington has been overreaching and overspending for years now and we need to get out of that cycle,” she said. In a crowded field, the candidates are doing whatever they can to set themselves apart from their opponents. Recently, Renfroe launched television attack ads against Buck, accusing him of flip-flopping on certain issues. “I think the voters deserve to have all the facts before making a decision,” Renfroe said, defending his ad campaign.

June 20, 2014 Renfroe is also critical of Buck’s decision to drop his Senate bid and instead opt for a CD4 run. “Is that someone who knows what he wants or is he just looking for a job?” Renfroe said. Buck is used to hearing criticism. During his unsuccessful Senate bid, Buck took heat for remarks he made about women. He also likened being gay to alcoholism. To Buck, all of that is in the past. “I don’t think those statements will hurt me in what we’re trying to accomplish in the 4th Congressional District,” he said. Buck believes that voters will care more about his job performance as DA of Weld County. Buck touts a reduction in crime and the creation of a juvenileassessment center that he believes has played a role in reducing youth crime and truancy. The winner of the primary will face Democrat Vic Meyers in November’s general election. With the district being weighted in favor of Republicans, the candidates aren’t too concerned about demographic shifts that have worked against GOP candidates at the statewide level in recent years. “I don’t do the Hispanic message or Chinese-American message,” Laffey said. “I just tell people about freedom. I’m color blind. I’m a successful businessman running for office because the nation is broke. All the rest is just talk.”

Encounter art in Douglas County Sculptures go up in local communities By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “DCAE plays an important part in supporting the vibrant cultural life of the cities participating in the program. Public art adds meaning to our cities and uniqueness o our communities,” said Lone Tree’s art curator, Sally Perisho. Douglas County invited sculptors to submit entries through CaFE last February for the 2014-2015 Douglas County Art Encounters public art program, and a selection of 23 sculptures by 20 artists was chosen for display in four communities through June 2015. Selections were made by the Public Art Advisory Committee. It is comprised of staff and community members representing each area. A jury from this committee chooses finalists and the jurisdictions rotate positions each year to determine the order in which they will select pieces. This is done in multiple rounds until each jurisdiction has chosen the entire number of pieces it wants. Lone Tree, Parker, Highlands Ranch and Castle Rock participate. The program is backed with Scientific and Cultural Facilities District funds, but since Castle Rock is not in the district, it sets aside money from the Philip S. Miller Trust. Each year, visitors to the sculptures are invited to go online and vote for their favorite, and the winner receives $1,000. Each participating artist receives $500 for each piece installed.

opinions / yours and ours

Stormy weather isn’t limited to outdoors Now that I am officially starting my 19th year in Colorado, I think I am finally appreciating the finicky and unpredictable weather that blesses us every season of every year. Maybe it’s my short or foggy memory, but I cannot seem to remember a season with more weather fluctuation since I have moved here. I have traveled professionally and frequently since relocating here from New Jersey years ago, so maybe 2014 is just another typical and ever-changing year here in colorful Colorado, and I’m just not used to all the seasonal changes and storms.

But, it’s really not the weather that I want to talk about today, as crazy and volatile as it may be. Instead, I want to focus on another topic that could be

considered just as wild and sometimes as unpredictable … our children. As another Father’s Day has come and gone, I am reminded of the rollercoaster ride of parenting my own children over these past 25 years. My youngest will hit 20 in September, so I will officially be out of the teenage era. You know — the one where we move from being seen as smart, brave, funny, and even from time to time goofy mom or dad … to that place where children become embarrassed to be seen with us, deny our existence, and find our sense of humor less funny with each passing

corny joke or request for them to pull their pants up above the waist. But I digress. If you are a parent, a friend of parent, an outsider looking in on a parenting situation, then you know exactly what that crazy and unpredictable forecast looks like during those teenage years — don’t you? “Mostly sunny today with a chance of drama,” or “Clear skies in the morning with a lack of respect and appreciation showing up around 3 p.m.” Norton continues on Page 11

So close, yet so far away from it all

“Martha, this writer, all he does is complain, complain.” Not today, Martha. We just went for a walk, and it’s impossible to complain after a walk on the greenbelt with a dachshund. Our greenbelt isn’t exactly “Wind in the Willows,” but it’s close. I have seen coyotes and foxes and their menu (rabbits), snakes, and once, a divine miracle: three deer. I can’t figure out how they got here. I think they took a cab. Smitty is short, so we go for short walks — two, three, or four a day, if he approves of the weather. Smitty’s weather window is very small. No snow, no rain, and it can’t be very cold or very hot. But it can be at 2 or 3 a.m., when I like to get up and start writing or painting, especially in the summer when it is too hot to do anything at 2 or 3 p.m. The greenbelt sidewalk is east-west, so we can walk into the sunrise, and sometimes it is coral and spectacular. We try to go for a walk before I read the morning paper. The daily news changes everything. Usually whatever serenity I gained over night goes away until it’s bedtime again. I don’t go fishing, but I have a theory Marshall continues on Page 11

Welcoming a familiar face to a new place It is a pleasure to welcome Drew Litton to our opinion pages beginning this week. Drew was a staple with the Rocky Mountain News for 26 years until it ceased publication in 2009. Many of us kept up with him through the web, seeing his postings on Facebook and his website. A few months back, I learned Drew was moving back to the Denver area, and I reached out to him. Drew jumped at the opportunity to be printed in our 20 weekly community newspapers with 180,000 plus circula-

letter to the editor School board member the one who misleads There’s more to the story of Douglas County Board of Education Director Doug Benevento’s attack on Colorado Community Media and CCM reporter Jane Reuter during the June 3 BOE meeting. Benevento indicated that he would use his “V.P. report” time to “start correcting… misleading stories by Jane Reuter and her newspaper about the school district and the school board…” Claiming during his diatribe against CCM and Ms. Reuter to “have several instances” of “misleading” and “sloppy” reporting, which, he griped, is “misleading people in the community,” he offered Ms. Reuter’s recent story, “County survey shows changing perceptions of schools,” as an example. In his fervor to discredit Ms. Reuter and company, Mr. Benevento made several “misleading” statements of his own regarding this story:

Statement: “The survey had nothing to do with the school district, actually asked no question about the school district.” Fact: Although the survey itself solicited voter input on a variety of community related questions, one item — No. 27 to be exact — did ask respondents to rate how accurately the statement: “Has good schools and educational opportunities for all ages” describes Douglas County. Statement: “and yet… it (the survey) was reported as a school district survey.” Fact: The first sentence of Ms. Reuter’s piece unambiguously refers to the survey as: “A county-sponsored survey about a variety of quality-of-life issues…” Nowhere does she suggest that the survey was “a school district survey.” One wonders just who is misleading whom?

tion and on our 19 websites. Drew agrees with me that the community newspaper business is the place to be due to our unique content and close connection with the communities we serve. I gave Drew no real direction in terms of the topics he will draw. For the most part, expect it to be sports related as he has done in the past. His work will give us a better understanding of how many of us feel about a topic. One drawing and a few words can often trigger our brains to reflect and

Most not ready to live on less Regardless of whether it is job loss or retirement, most people are not ready to live on less. When my parents retired 40 years ago, it was understood you would live on less. These days, that is unheard of. Why the change? Two of the main culprits are debt and lifestyle. Most retirees in the 1970s did not have house payments, or rarely ever owned more than one house in their lifetimes. Nowadays it is common for homeowners to move about every seven years. Usually people incur more debt when they move often, as they are usually buying up. Interest rates have been low for over a decade. This provides an opportunity to borrow more than perhaps you should. The standard of living for the average American has changed dramatically in 40 years. Larger paychecks and higher earnings on investments along with home equity have helped fuel richer lifestyles. As people approach retirement, they are not willing to give up that nice lifestyle just

that walking a dog is a lot like fishing. It’s not a high-minded purpose, but there are objectives. Fishermen have told me that they don’t have to catch anything to enjoy the experience. Walking a dog is just like that. About all Smitty does is smell things, and relieve himself. That may not sound like much, but it accomplishes two things: It makes him happy and it makes me happy. If the weather isn’t acceptable, Smitty does his toiletries, as it were, indoors, and generally in my studio. When I bought the house, the greenbelt wasn’t on my mind. It’s no more than a sidewalk that connects one street with another, but it’s quite long and it rolls. There is a handsome clump of shrubs, bushes, and stumpy trees that change colors year-round. The greenbelt from street to street is wide and almost — almost — gives the illusion that you are living a long way from a metropolis. I am sure the home owners had to pay more for their houses than I did for mine. My house just looks out over Carl and Edna. I can watch dream house television programs now, and no longer be envi-

yet. A third factor is health. People retiring at age 65 today are generally healthier and have a longer life expectancy than prior generations. Therefore they want to do more in retirement, and this involves costs associated with travel, sports and hobbies. Then there is the other end of the health spectrum. Those with deteriorating health are spending significantly more than prior generations to receive good health care. Based on the 2014 Retirement Confidence Survey¹, we are less prepared for retirement

ous. I used to subscribe to “Architectural Digest” and sit there and weep. Who needs that? I came to the conclusion that I am lucky to have my gray suburban tract house. I think we all reach a point of acceptance. I certainly didn’t understand that when I was in my 20s, 30s, and 40s. More, better, bigger, newer. But that is all gone now. Now it’s mostly maintenance, repair and replace. My house is 21 years old. The builders didn’t do us any favors. Just about all of the viscera has been replaced. Some of it, like the sump pump, wasn’t taken care of before it went berserk. While I was in New York. I came home and found a pond in the basement. When I bought the house I bought the floor plan and the bottom line. I looked at the layout, liked it, and looked at the total cost, and liked that. Everything was new, so I was blind to things like the quality of the fixtures and the flooring, the cabinets, the water heater, the furnace. But they did keep just enough of Mother Nature to enable Smitty and me to start the day — and end it — with a few fine moments of serenity.

It is exasperating at times, almost to the point where I’d consider quitting the job of being a dad. But it is also an incredible blessing that keeps me on my toes, astounds me with both their exciting events and little achievements, and it fills me with pride to be a dad even in the midst of their drama, life challenges and experiences, and just every time I

than a year ago, but feel better about it. Part of this better feeling could be associated with an improving economy and increases in the 401(k) balance. However, in reality, most workers are behind on savings. “A third of workers with a retirement plan have more than $100,000 saved while only 3 percent of those without a retirement plan have more than $100,000 saved. Nearly threequarters of those without a retirement plan have saved less than $1,000.”¹ This would indicate you are better off funding a retirement plan and consistently investing over long periods of time. Another finding of the study was that people who plan save more. Therefore, watching your spending, saving and investing and planning in advance are good guidelines to improve your future. This could mean that people learn to curb their appetite for a higher standard of living while they are working so they can have a normal standard of living when they are retired.

Stories from Parker’s past Keene Daiss, center, and other longtime Parker residents reminisce about the past during a gathering June 10 at Ruth Memorial Church in downtown Parker. Photo by Chris Michlewicz

Longtime residents reminisce at Ruth Memorial Church By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com A group of longtime residents took a stroll down memory lane, trading tales from their Parker childhoods. The meeting at Ruth Memorial Church, one of the town’s oldest and most distinct structures, drew a full crowd June 10. On the stage was a handful of nostalgic seniors, some of whom have called Parker home since the 1920s. The echoes of the voices within the 100-year-old church were a perfect parallel to the ceremony at hand. Ruth Memorial, it turns out, holds many memories; Sandy Whelchel, whose ancestors moved to the area in 1881, said the church was the site of her wedding and her dad’s funeral. Resident Charlotte Corah recalled hitching her horses to a post outside, where the bustle of Mainstreet now prevails. A few of the tales centered on the building next door, then a schoolhouse but now the Mainstreet Center. Laughter filled the

room when Keene Daiss told of the time when he and a classmate snuck out the second-story window — a short drop to the ground — to have a smoke in the “privy,” or outhouse. The boys crawled back in unnoticed, but soon looked out the window to see the fire department putting out a fire where they had just discarded a cigarette. Several of the honored speakers still seemed annoyed at the decision to close the K-12 school in the late 1950s and move the students to Douglas County High School, which had just opened in Castle Rock. Four students dropped out rather than attend school in Castle Rock, a rival at the time. One woman who was transferred recalled singing the Parker fight song in the hallways as a show of defiance. A few blocks west down Mainstreet, where the Warhorse Inn recently stood for 30 years, was a filling station. Nancy Priest, 86, said she remembers that the owner, Don Murray, had a dog named “Queenie” that would sleep in the middle of Mainstreet. Unwilling to budge from her comfortable spot, what little traffic there was would simply go around her.

eyes and a flair for dramatic storytelling, said he and his friends would pool their money for a trip to Denver to see a movie. “You took your chances going through the cricks” during bad weather, as there was only one bridge between Parker and the state capital, he said. When there wasn’t enough money for such a long-distance trip, the traveling picture shows, featuring cowboys and the adventures of Wonder Dog, would occasionally stop in town, he said. Harn, a self-described “young whippersnapper” at the time, also told the audience about the dances in Franktown on the first Saturday of every month. Teens from all over Douglas County would flock to the Pikes Peak Grange for the much-anticipated event. Jean Martin, whose roots are buried deep in Parker’s soil, said sports were also a cause for gatherings. Baseball games took place roughly where the field at O’Brien Park now stands. The park was named for her uncle Charlie. The Parker team played against squads from Sedalia, Elizabeth and Castle Rock, the latter of which frequently ended in allout brawls. The team had the chance to play the Kansas City Monarchs, which at the time had Satchel Paige, one of the first African-American ballplayers.

The tragedies Daiss, who lived in the still-standing twin house southeast corner of South Parker Road and what is now Stroh Road, reminisced about the terrible flood that raged down the Cherry Creek corridor when Castlewood Canyon Dam broke during a storm in 1933. The waters took out vegetation along the creek and Daiss’s family “lost 20 acres of good farm land,” he said.

Speaking of lost land, harsh words were tossed around when another sore subject, the Parker City Land Company, was broached. The out-of-state-company made plans to build a sprawling community, but abandoned the project and split town, leaving trusting Parker residents financially devastated. Martin recalled an agonizing three-month stint with the real estate development firm. “A lot of my friends were being taken,” she said. “I just had to get out of there.” But Martin, who grew up in what is now the Heath House, a historic landmark on Pikes Peak Drive, spoke fondly of the old days. She commented about the changes in Parker over the last eight decades, saying, “I’ve seen it little and seen it big and I’ve grown with all of it.”

SIMPLER TIMES - Daiss said he “didn’t have trouble crossing (Highway) 83” as a child. It was a seldom-used, two-lane gravel road at the time. - Harn, who moved to Parker in 1933 when he was in seventh grade, said using the telephone was a party. “You didn’t know who you were going to talk to.” -Wayne Pouppirt, who lived on land near current-day Hess Road and Motsenbocker Road, said his mother was superintendent of schools. She married at age 29 and only “missed being an old maid by a few days.” -Daiss recalled that his grandfather would take the train to Parker and always brought him candy. -Harn said when the auto garage downtown caught fire, the heat was so intense that it cracked the windows of nearby businesses. The “bucket brigade” was not too effective in fighting the fire, as it burned clear to the ground.

GOP analyst: ‘Highly unlikely’ Hickenlooper loses Republican gubernatorial primary a tough one to predict By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com

the easiest

EARN

A longtime Republican political analyst said he doesn’t know which of the four GOP contenders for governor will come out of next week’s primary — but it’s doubtful that any of them can beat Gov. John Hickenlooper in the fall. However, the four Republicans who are vying to unseat Hickenlooper take issue with that assessment. Bob Loevy, a retired Colorado College political science professor who has analyzed Colorado politics for decades, believes that Hickenlooper “remains the strong favorite” to win re-election in November, regardless of which candidate Republican voters select to face him in the June 24 primary. “Yes, this is an exciting primary, but what I take away from it is, at the moment, it’s highly unlikely any of these candidates can beat Hickenlooper,” said Loevy, a registered Republican. Voters will cast ballots for four Republican candidates next week: former Congressmen Bob Beauprez and Tom Tancredo; Secretary of State Scott Gessler; and former state Senate Minority Leader Mike Kopp. Loevy said that it’s “almost impossible to say who is going to win.” “There is little basis on which to think which of these candidates stands out from the other,” he said. “The vote is going to be split. None are total non-entities... you can give a reason why each one of them might win and why each one might lose.” Regardless, Loevy believes that “none of these candidates have the asset of looking like a winner in November.” “The main criticism of (Hickenlooper) is he’s too moderate,” he said. “In that case you’re criticizing him for what wins elections.” But in recent interviews with Colorado Community Media that occurred prior to Loevy’s analysis, the GOP hopefuls pointed out plenty of areas where they see weaknesses in the governor’s record. Beauprez blasted Hickenlooper’s “failure of leadership” on several policy fronts. Tancredo said the governor “kicked the ball down the field” when he granted a temporary reprieve for death row inmate Nathan Dunlap, who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in 1996.

Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, is waiting to see who his Republican challenger will be. File photo Kopp said that Hickenlooper hasn’t provided leadership on the hot issue of local community control of hydraulic fracking. “He should stand up against the radical interests in his own party who want to shut down the oil and gas industry in the state,” Kopp said. And the candidates believe that Hickenlooper is anything but a moderate, having signed into law bills on gun control, election overhaul and civil unions, to name a few. “Look at Hickenlooper,” Gessler said. “He says he’s a moderate, that’s what he claims. And yet he signs the most liberal agenda in the history of Colorado.” But Loevy feels that the candidates from his own party have their own set of obstacles to overcome. Loevy said that Tancredo benefits from a split field because of a “set block of highly conservative Republican voters supporting him.” At the same time, Loevy wonders if voters might see Tancredo as unelectable, given his unabashed views on issues like immigration that could turn off moderate voters in the fall. Loevy said that Gessler has done an effective job in soliciting Republican voters through email, which has

helped him in fundraising efforts. “But then Gessler, as we all know, has gotten bad press,” Loevy said, referring to a state ethics commission’s finding that he violated ethics rules for using state money to attend an out-of-state Republican event. Loevy said that Beauprez could very well win the nomination, but wonders if his double digit loss in a 2006 gubernatorial race to Bill Ritter still lingers in the minds of general election voters. And Kopp might be over his head, according to Loevy. “He just does not have, in my view, enough of a statewide reputation,” he said. “I think the office is way larger than a person with his qualifications can hope to win.” Hickenlooper could be vulnerable if we see a Republican wave sweep across the country in the fall, Loevy said. “Maybe in a giant Republican sweep someone might be able to win a close race against Hickenlooper,” he said. “Unless that happens, this is a race of theoretical interest.”

VA failures rub salt in vets’ wounds Legislation hopes to improve current standards in system By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com George Claggett was a Marine who lived by his own definition of karma. The Vietnam veteran believed that treating others well wasn’t about reciprocation; rather, it was a belief that his goodness would show up elsewhere, even if he wasn’t the one reaping the benefit. It’s a good thing that Claggett wasn’t expecting anything in return for his actions toward others, or for fighting in a war of which many wanted no part, because karma wasn’t there for him during the last months of his life — much of which was spent in frustration over his dealings with the Department of Veterans Affairs. “It was hell, absolute hell,” said Michael O’Brien, a close friend and Claggett’s power of attorney, when asked what it was like dealing with the VA system. According to O’Brien, Claggett would spend several weeks just trying to schedule an appointment to see a doctor at the VA hospital in Denver. When he would finally obtain appointments, he would sometimes have to wait for hours to see a doctor. Claggett, of Denver, also waited several weeks to receive lab results of a tumor that contributed to his death on May 2. He was 66. “It just seemed like all he was doing was waiting,” O’Brien said. Claggett’s story is one of many that have surfaced in recent weeks regarding systematic failures and corruption within the VA department. “I am absolutely stunned, particularly as a combat veteran, that this agency that’s entrusted to meet our obligations for those who served in uniform can be so incredibly incompetent... and be so corrupt,” said 6th Congressional District Rep. Mike Coffman, a Republican who served in the Iraq War. Last week, Coffman joined every other member of the House in voting for a bill that aims to address some of the issues that have caused veterans like Claggett to receive substandard care from their government. The legislation is a start, say members of Congress, to restructuring a governmentrun entity that has been failing its soldiers for a very long time. “I am so angry and disappointed,” said Rep. Ed Perlmutter, a Democrat who represents Colorado’s 7th Congressional District. “There are too many stories like that.”

Seeking better options for vets

Last week, the House gave unanimous approval to the Veterans Access to Care Act. The bill requires that the VA send veterans to private health providers when the department is unable to provide care within 14 days. The legislation would also ban bonuses for VA employees and puts in place greater oversight over the department’s operations. The bill comes on the heels of a federal audit that shows that more than 57,000 veterans have waited at least three months to see a doctor, while others who asked for appointments never received one. Other findings have shown that VA employees — whose bonuses are tied to wait time reductions — falsified reports to hide information about long wait times. Reports have also shown that veterans died awaiting treatment. The scandal led to the resignation of department director Eric Shinseki. Coffman and Perlmutter believe that the legislation will go a long way in helping veterans receive better care, without having to deal with unreasonable — and sometimes life threatening — waits. “At the end of the day, it will allow the VA to have a much better system to allow vets options they don’t have now,” Coffman said. Coffman, who is the chairman of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, added an amendment to the bill that sets aside money to pay for court costs that could come as investigations into the scandal continue. Coffman said that employees who were falsifying reports out of motivation for bonus pay could end up facing criminal charges. “There are veterans who have died as a result of manipulating these appointment wait times for financial gain,” Coffman said. “To me, that’s not just a matter of firing people. (It includes) the possibility of criminal charges.” The bill is one of several efforts to change the VA system. Acting VA Director Sloan Gibson has also spelled out a list of reforms that he would like to see made. Perlmutter said the VA’s “arteries have hardened” over the years, due to a culture that has preferred to sweep problems under the rug while hoping that no one notices. “There’s more of a `protect your turf, protect your fanny’ mentality,” Perlmutter said. “There’s so many good people, but there’s others who are protecting their reputation. That’s really a problem within the system.” The Senate passed a similar bill the same week. It’s likely that the two chambers will

On the table sits the cap that Claggett, a Vietnam veteran, often wore. Photo by Vic Vela come to a consensus on a singular piece of legislation in the coming weeks.

The wounded warrior

O’Brien said that the last year of Claggett’s life was spent in grave sickness. He was too sick to work. He often had blood in his urine, lost an unhealthy amount of weight and was also suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that often brought on flashbacks. O’Brien said that he tried to set up appointments for weeks and when he was finally successful in obtaining one, Claggett waited for more than an hour to see a doctor — who never showed up. Claggett’s peace finally came during the early morning hours of May 2. “I gave him some morphine the night before and woke up at three in the morning and I saw immediately that he was gone,” he said. “And the son of a bitch had a smile on his face.” Claggett left O’Brien the little amount of money he had at the time of his death to give to the Wounded Warriors Project, an organization that provides services to wounded veterans. O’Brien said it wasn’t in Claggett’s nature to “advocate for himself” that he was a Vietnam veteran who deserved better treatment for serving his country. “My question is, why does a Marine have to advocate for care so he can die with a little dignity?” O’Brien said. “Why does he have to push a system to get him aid that we should be bending over backwards to give?”

Young African singers to perform Watoto Children’s Choir coming to Castle Rock By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Watoto Children’s Choir will be performing at 7 p.m. June 27 at Faith Lutheran Church in Castle Rock, 303 N. Ridge Road. Watoto Children’s Choirs have traveled internationally since 1994 as advocates for the estimated 50 million children in Africa orphaned as a result of HIV/AIDS, war, poverty and disease. The Watoto Children’s Choir is currently on a six-month tour of the United States that began in January. This is the first trip to America of all of the choir’s children, as well as choir director Phillip Mugerwa. “The choir is made up of 22 children, 11 boys and 11 girls, and all of the children have lost either one or both of their parents,” Mugerwa said.

Accompanied by a team of adults, the choir presents Watoto’s vision and mission through its stories, music and dance. Choir members act as ambassadors to raise awareness about the plight of the orphaned and vulnerable children of Africa. Issues such as poverty, HIV/AIDS, the effects of war and the child soldier crisis in northern Uganda are at the core of their work. Choir members live in Watoto children’s villages. The experience gives them exposure to other cultures, broadening their worldview. Mugerwa said it gives them confidence and boldness and helps them rise up out of their own situations of sadness and despair. “We take care of them from the time we receive them. Some come to us as babies, others are as old as 5, and we care for them and raise them up to be future leaders,” he said. “We believe that if we are able to care for each other’s children, they will be able to rebuild the nation of Uganda and the content of Africa.”

The choirs have toured Uganda, Kenya, South Africa, the Australasia region, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the United States, South America, Hong Kong, China and Japan. Their audiences have included royalty and heads of state. Watoto is a holistic care program that was initiated as a response to the overwhelming number of orphaned children and vulnerable women in Uganda, whose lives have been ravaged by war and disease. The Watoto Children’s Choir will also be preforming in Longmont, Estes Park, Boulder, Fort Collins, Centennial, Westcliffe, Pueblo and Westminster during the tour of Colorado. “(Our main goal) is to raise awareness of the plight of the orphan child in Uganda and in Africa, and in doing this, we try to rally support for what we’re doing,” Mugerwa said.

Encounter art in Douglas County Original sculptures pop up around local communities By Sonya Ellingboe

Daniel L. Ritchie, the “godfather” of Denver theater, has announced his retirement as chief executive officer of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. Ritchie will continue to serve as chairman of the board of trustees following his retirement as CEO. Ritchie revealed his decision at the June 10 regularly scheduled meeting of the trustees and then to a meeting of DCPA employees. He also is sending a letter to the customers and donors whose support of the DCPA has been the foundation of its success. “This is the right moment for me to step aside and for a new CEO to guide the DCPA into its bright future,” Ritchie said. “The DCPA is poised to move to a new level of creativity with an even warmer embrace of our audience. My full energy will now be focused on board matters, including the campaign to reauthorize the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District in 2016.” Ritchie joined the DCPA in 2007 as CEO and chairman of the board. Upon his appointment, the board and Ritchie concluded that the two positions should ultimately be separated. Today’s announcement completes that plan. Ritchie, who was known as “Dapper Dan” for his sharp attire, led the DCPA through a period of dynamic creative growth and to financial success. Under his leadership, the DCPA expanded its new-play development program, launched three national Broadway touring premieres, conducted two successful matching-gift fundraising campaigns, and served more than 400,000 students through its extensive theatre education programs. He also has been instrumental in diversifying the DCPA’s programming with the development of Off-Center @ The Jones, an experimental theater designed to make theater less formal, more fun, decidedly innovative and appealing to new audiences. Ritchie has made generous personal financial donations to the DCPA and has served without pay as CEO during his entire tenure. But I will remember him most for his “performances” to raise money for DCPA endeavors. One year for Saturday Night Alive, the DCPA’s granddaddy fundraiser, Ritchie embraced his inner rock star with overthe-top enthusiasm. He appeared in a full costume as former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash. A search will begin immediately for Ritchie’s successor. He will remain as CEO until his successor has joined the organization and he will work with the new CEO during a period of transition.

‘Prairie Grace’ makes cut for book finals By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Author Marilyn Bay Wentz said she was honored that her novel about Colorado history, “Prairie Grace,” was selected by Colorado Humanities & Center for the Book as one of three finalists for Colorado Book Award in the historical fiction category. “Prairie Grace” is the author’s first historical novel. She chose to set in the Colorado Territory in 1860s. “Actually the bare bones of this novel came from a story I wrote as a 12-year-old,” the area resident said. “I love to write, and a couple years ago, I looked at that story, started to expand it. The story began to develop and inspired me to do a huge amount of research and work. The result was the seeds that were the short story became my first novel.” Wentz’s novel blends details about geography, facts about historic figures and the challenges the characters face trying to live and deal with the huge differences in the cultures and ways of life of the white settlers and the indigenous population. The plot of her book moves quickly as she



  

paints a vivid word picture of how members of the pioneer family, the McBayes, dealt with life on the plains east of Denver and living with the American Indian tribes in the area. Wentz smoothly shifts the scene to write about details of the traditions and village life of the Cheyenne. The story intertwines the lives of settler Georgia McBaye and Cheyenne brave Gray Wolf. The author weaves the threads of the story of their lives, friendship and love for each other into the historically accurate picture of life in eastern Colorado in 1862-64. The author said the book is fiction but follows accurately the history of the Colorado Territory and what life was like in the area in and around Denver while the Civil War raged in the eastern United States. She creates her fictional characters but also introduces the reader to many people from the history books, such as Gov. John Evans and Arapaho Chief Black Kettle. The story details many of the events involving violence by settlers and by American Indians. The book also covers many aspects of the circumstances leading up to the Sand Creek Massacre, where Col. John Chivington led an assault of Colorado volunteers in an at-

tack on an encampment of peaceful Arapaho and Cheyenne Indians. Around Denver the attack was initially hailed as a great victory, but further investigation showed the volunteer soldiers killed about 150 American Indians, most of them women and children. Wentz also weaves elements of her strong Christian belief into the novel without making that the focus of the story. The author said she would make few changes in the book except, if she had it to do over, she would like to have an American Indian advisor to help her more accurately write about the culture and customs of the tribes. Wentz is currently working with her mother on a book with a working title, “The Sheep Story.” She said she also is starting work on her next novel, which will deal with the history of the San Luis Valley. The author grew up on a farm near Eaton and now lives near Strasburg. She has written articles and news releases for farming and livestock organizations. The avid gardener raises lambs and raises and trains horses, but still finds time to devote to her literary pursuits.

The cover of Marilyn Bay Wentz’s book, “Prairie Grace,” reflects many aspects of the historical fiction novel about the Territory of Colorado in the early 1860s. The author depicts the life and times of the white settlers and details the clashes between the culture of the white man and the Native Americans. Courtesy image

Studio jumps on chance for chants Tibetan monks bless Young Voices facility By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com The connection started with Jena Dickey’s chance meeting, at the Boulder Creek Festival in Boulder, with Tamdin Wangdu, who heads the Tibetan Village Project in Westminster. He was planning to host three Tibetan monks who were to travel in the U.S. for three months. While two of them had achieved Ph.D. status and the third was studying for his doctorate, none had traveled or flown before. Jampa Norby, Lobsang Choephel and Kaldor (one name only) live and study at the Sera Monastery in Mysore, India, which was established after the 1959 revolution in Tibet, where the original monastery was badly damaged and many monks were killed. These men study and travel to help the world better understand Buddhism. They said they are up at 5 a.m. and work until midnight, mostly studying Tibetan language and religion. Jena Dickey, director of the Young Voices of Colorado children’s choirs, had the opportunity to invite the three men

if you go The “Sing a Mile High” free concert will be at 7 p.m. June 29 at the Newman Center, Iliff Avenue and University Boulevard in Denver. No tickets needed. Young Voices of Colorado’s studio is located at 9294 Inverness Drive East, Suite 50, in unincorporated Arapahoe County. Rehearsals are held there weekly during the school year. There are five choirs with varying experience and expertise. An audition is scheduled for the next season in August. See youngvoices.org for more information or call 303-7977464 between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. to visit Young Voices’ new studio in the Inverness area and bless it with their special style of chanting, an appropriate move for a place that’s all about singing. (They also blessed Brookside Inn, an assisted-care home in Castle Rock.) Dickey was interested in Tibet because she and Chrys Harris of the Young Voices staff had contributed $900 each to send a Tibetan student to a university to study medicine, with the objective of opening small local clinics where there are none. On short notice, five of Dickey’s choristers were able to be at the studio to show the monks how they learn to sing, she said. The traveling monks, who are not familiar with written music notation, but learn by doing, sang three chants: one to call in the Buddha to help; one to bless

Three traveling Tibetan monks: Jampa Norby, Lobsang Choephel and Kaldor (One name only) visited the new Young Voices of Colorado studio to bless it by chanting. Courtesy photo the structure and people in it; and one for world peace. Next in the summer for Dickey and staff will be “Sing a Mile High,” a choral festival that will bring in a number of children’s choirs from across the nation. They will train and sing separately and together, learning a newly commissioned work, “Hope is For the Thing With Feathers,” which the whole group will sing in a final concert after five days of

training. Paul Caldwell and Sean Ivory will be guest clinicians and conductors. Each choir will sing several individual pieces as well in the free final concert. That show will be at 7 p.m. June 29 at the Newman Center at the University of Denver. No tickets are needed — families can just attend, especially those with children who might enjoy choral training.

Encumbered Water Schedule The water rights encumbered by the Deed of Trust consist of the following: 1. All rights to withdraw, use, recapture, successively use and dispose of the ground water from the Denver Basin Aquifers underlying the Land, pursuant to the Referee's Ruling and Decree of the Court in Case No. 88CW168, entered on February 16, 1996, by the District Court for Water Division No. 1("Hess Property Ground Water"); 2. All rights to withdraw, use, recapture, successively use and dispose of 38 acre feet per year from the Arapahoe Aquifer In accordance with the terms of the Ruling of the Water Referee and Judgment and Decree of the Court in Case No. 98CW264, entered on January 12, 1999, by the District Court for Water Division No. 1 ("Stevens Property Ground Water"); and 3. The right to 232 acre feet annually of reusable return flows from the initial use of Denver Basin Aquifer ground water under the decree referenced in paragraph 2 above and under the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, Judgment and Decree of the Court in Case No. 83CW161, entered on December 19, 1985 by the District Court for Water Division No. 1 (the "Reuse Water"), for the irrigation of an 18 hole golf course on the Land encumbered by this Deed of Trust (the "Hess Golf Course"); provided, however, that the 232 acre feet of Reuse Water encumbered herein shall not be available until sufficient Reuse Water from the Borrower's interest in the water rights decreed in Case Nos. 83CW161 and 98CW264 is first being generated annually to fully satisfy the Irrigation needs of the 25 hole golf course planned and zoned for property other than the Land encumbered by this Deed of Trust and known as the Stroh Ranch development (the "Stroh Golf Course"). The Parties agree that Reuse Water will be reserved first for use on the Stroh Golf Course, with any remaining Reuse Water up to 232 acre feet available, to the extent needed, for use on the Hess Golf Course. Borrower may substitute reuse water generated from development on the Land released from the encumbrance of this Deed of Trust and derived from the use of released water under the decree described in paragraph 1 above, once a decree or decrees have been obtained authorizing the recapture and reuse of such ground water and the facilities are in place for the delivery of such water to the encumbered lands. The Reuse Water to be used on the Stroh Golf Course is not encumbered by the Deed of Trust. The Reuse Water may Include sewered return flows from the initial use of the Denver Basin Aquifer ground water described above, until such time as the full amount of 232 acre feet of non-sewered return flows Is available, subject to the first use of any Reuse Water on the Stroh Golf Course. To facilitate use of' the Reuse Water on the Hess Golf Course, including the reuse of Denver Basin Aquifer ground water under the decree referenced in paragraph 1, above, Borrower agrees to share with Lender use of on e or more wells, tributary to Cherry Creek, to be located on the Stroh Ranch Property, for the purpose of diverting the Reuse Water. Such shared use shall be on equitable terms, including proportionate cost sharing, such that both parties are provided a fair opportunity to divert water to which they are entitled. Borrower also agrees to grant easements to Lender reasonably sufficient to permit the construction and operation of a water pipeline across Borrower's property for the delivery of the Reuse Water from the wells to the Hess Golf Course, such easements to be located so as not to unreasonably interfere with use and beneficial development of Borrower's property. Water Release Schedule Water rights encumbered by the Deed of Trust shall be released without additional consideration at the same time as, and along with, partial releases of Release Property under Section 11 of the Deed of Trust, in amounts reasonably sufficient for the provision of water service to the Release Property, calculated as required by the Service Agreement among the Town of Parker, the Parker Water and Sanitation District, Stroh Ranch Development Limited Partnership, and the Cherry Creek South Metropolitan District Nos. 1 and 2 dated August 13, 1992 as amended (the "Service Agreement). Subject to paragraph 4 below, any such release shall not exceed the quantity of water required to serve the approved uses on the released land as shown on the SunMarke Development Plan approved by the Town of Parker on August 5, 2003, and recorded in the

vision of water service to the Release Property, calculated as required by the Service Agreement among the Town of Parker, the Parker Water and Sanitation District, Stroh Ranch Development Limited Partnership, and the Cherry Creek South Metropolitan District Nos. 1 and 2 dated August 13, 1992 as amended (the "Service Agreement). Subject to paragraph 4 below, any such release shall not exceed the quantity of water required to serve the approved uses on the released land as shown on the SunMarke Development Plan approved by the Town of Parker on August 5, 2003, and recorded in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of Douglas County, Colorado, on October 3, 2003, under reception number 2003146588 ("Development Plan"). The criteria for determining the amounts and sources of water rights for such releases are as follows: 1. For Platted Release Property. a. For Release Property for which a final plat has been approved by the Town of Parker and recorded ("Final Plat"), the amount of water released shall be the amount required to serve the uses shown on the approved plat as calculated under the Service Agreement. For any uses not specifically addressed in the Service Agreement, Borrower and Lender shall each appoint a qualified water rights engineer, who will consult with one another and mutually agree on proposed water requirement amounts based on generally utilized criteria. The agreed upon water requirement amounts will be proposed, at the appropriate time to the Parker Water & Sanitation District (the "District") under the Service Agreement. In the event the agreed upon amounts are not accepted by the District, and a different amount is determined pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures in the Service Agreement, and accepted by both Borrower and Lender, the parties shall make appropriate adjustments to ensure that the corresponding, amount of encumbered water has been released; and b. Borrower shall select the source aquifer(s) for water to be released in the total amounts calculated as above. However, the amount of water selected for release from the Arapahoe Aquifer may not exceed the amount calculated as follows: 0.3479 x T, where T equals the total water requirements for the Release Property (as calculated in paragraph 1.a. above), c. No water shall be released with the release of the land on which two golf course holes south of Stroh Road are shown on the Development Plan. 2. For Unplatted Release Property. For Release Property for which no Final PIat has been obtained by Borrower, the amount of water to be released shall be the average amount of ground water per acre in each of the four Denver Basin Aquifers underlying the Release Property as decreed in Case No. 88CW168. In such an instance, the decreed ground water in each of the four Denver Basin Aquifers underlying the Release Property shall be released. 3. Stevens Property Ground Water. The Stevens Property Ground Water, as defi ned in the Encumbered Water Schedule, shall be automatically released in amounts of .025 acre feet per each acre of platted and unplatted Release Property. Any release of Stevens Property Ground Water shall be in addition to releases of other water described in paragraphs 1 and 2 above. 4. Density Transfer Limitation. In the event that Borrower seeks and obtains approval from the Town of Parker to transfer residential density units from unencumbered property to Land encumbered by this Deed of Trust, the amount of water to be released along with releases of Land for which increased density has been approved, shall be calculated as described in paragraph 1 above provided, however, that at no time shall the amount of water which has been released from the Deed of Trust exceed by more than 10%, the amount of water that would be required for development of Land which has been released from the Deed of Trust, at the residential density levels provided for in the Development Plan. 5. Reuse Water for the Hess Golf Course. If the Hess Golf Course is wholly included within the Release Property, all of the 232 acre feet of Reuse Water encumbered by the Deed of Trust as described in the Encumbered Water Schedule shall be released.

FOR THE WEEK OF JunE 16, 2014

GALLERY OF GAMES

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Things that usually come easily and quickly for the Aries Lamb might need more of your time and attention during the next several days. Try to be patient as you work things out. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) A changing situation can create some complications. But if you apply that sensible Bovine mind to what seems to be a hopeless tangle of confusion, you’ll soon sort things out.

& weekly horoscope

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Creating a new look for your surroundings is fun. Expect to hear mostly positive comments on your efforts, as well as some wellintended suggestions you might want to note. CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Maybe you’d rather do anything else than what you’re “stuck with” right now. But if you stop complaining, you might see how this could lead to something with real potential.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Even a proud Leo ultimately recovers from hurt feelings. However, a damaged relationship might never heal unless you’re willing to spend more time and effort trying to work things out. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22)There are lots of changes on the horizon, so be prepared to make some adjustments in your usually fine-tuned life. One change might even impact a personal decision you’ve been putting off. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Being the dependable person you are could work in your favor for a project that requires both skill and accountability. But check this out carefully. There could be a hidden downside. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to nov 21) A temperamental outburst about a mishandled project causes some fallout. Be sure to couple an apology with an explanation.

Romano tabbed as player of the year Rock Canyon senior takes south metro honors on heels of state title By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com It dawned on Michelle Romano before her senior year that golf just might be her bag. Romano, who just graduated from Rock Canyon, was the medalist in the Northern Regional this spring and then went on to win the Class 5A State High School Girls individual championship on the first playoff hole over Arapahoe’s Hannah Wood. She has also taken top honors as Colorado Community Media Female Golfer of the Year. “I would definitely call myself an underdog,” said Romano. “Once I decided this is what I want to do, (I said) I have one year left and I might as well put in all my effort. I put in as much time as I possibly could to try to go out there and win. “When regional came around it gave me a little bit of confidence that I do deserve to be at the state tournament and I do have a chance of winning. I did feel I had as much talent as everybody else. Just getting it through my head that I did deserve to be at state and I did deserve to win was what that was probably keeping me from playing better in the past.” Romano, bound for the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs to play golf, fashioned an even-par 71 to win the Northern Regional at Highland Meadows April 28 but still didn’t

draw much attention as a possible favorite heading into the state tournament May 19-20 at Littleton’s Raccoon Creek. She faltered a bit in the final three holes during the final round but still tied Wood for first with a 153 two-round total after rounds of 78 and 75. Romano then shot a par on the first playoff hole, giving her the state championship. “I started playing golf my freshman year in high school and never thought I would be here,” Romano said while accepting congratulations on her state tourney win. “It hasn’t exactly sunk in but winning the tournament meant that I put in the best effort that I could and it paid off. At state last year when I tied for seventh, it was a big deal and gave me hope that I could possibly come back this year and give everyone a run for their money.” Romano helped Rock Canyon finish second in the team standings and her performance didn’t surprise coach Dave Vahling one bit. “She plays but doesn’t play a whole lot like Hannah Wood or (Cherry Creek’s) Calli Ringsby,” explained Vahling. “She plays in tournaments but really decided this season that she wanted to win the state tournament. I had the girls fill out a thing, what’s your goal this year? And she put it down. She started off a little slow and then really started working on it. “About a month before state, she started getting it together. It finally clicked that hey, it’s time to get it to the next level. She can hit the ball a long way. She’s very accurate with her shots, it’s just a little bit of inconsistency and the driver gets away from her once in a while. When she’s hitting it, I envy her to the most because she hits it so well. And her irons are so crisp.”

Vista, Creek seniors shine on diamond Leonard, Farrell named South Metro Players of the Year By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Any baseball team with an ace pitcher like Nick Leonard and a hitter like outfielder Grant Farrell should be good. Leonard, the senior right-hander from Mountain Vista, has been tabbed as the Colorado Community Media South Metro Pitcher of the Year. Cherry Creek senior Farrell was selected as the Player of the Year. “There’s not a bad thing I can say about Nick,” said Mountain Vista coach Ron Quintana. “He worked hard in the offseason and obviously it paid off. He was a bulldog on the mound. He controlled all his pitches. On a bad day, he would have eight or nine strikeouts.

“The difference between last year and this year is he had his off-speed working. He had command of his off speed, his curve ball and splitter.” Leonard, who will play next season at Washington State, led the Continental League with a 0.88 ERA and an 8-3 record. In 40.1 innings pitched, he had 105 strikeouts, which also was tops in the Continental League. “It’s quite an honor to be South Metro Pitcher of the Year,” said Leonard. “It was almost like a comeback year for me. Last year as junior I struggled quite a bit at the end of the year and in the playoffs. This year I felt real good to help my team out through the course of the season and in the playoffs. “I definitely improved in all facets of my game, location wise and velocity wise. The biggest difference was having a little more velocity on my fastball, more depth on my curve ball and the addition of a splitter as a third pitch helped me carry deeper into games.” The heater was still Leonard’s out pitch. “My fastball has primarily been my out pitch,” said Leonard. “It’s the one I’m most comfortable with. I spotted it up where I need to for the most part. I liked it because at this level sometimes I could use it to overpower guys. Occasionally I’d get good three, four and five hitters and I had to go to the off-speed a little bit. I used my splitter sometimes as an out pitch, getting guys to chase that. Right now it’s still in a developmental stage and is more of a groundball pitch.” Farrell, who will play next season at Creighton, wasn’t fooled too many times by high school pitchers. He hit .513 with 31 runs batted in and an .815 slugging percentage. He struck out just six times in 95 plate appearances, had eight stolen bases, a .576 on base percentage and didn’t make an error in leftfield. In six state playoff games for the Bru-

File photo ins, Farrell hit .571 as he collected 12 hits in 21 at-bats. “He’s an unbelievable player,” said Creek coach Marc Johnson. “He works hard and gives 110 percent effort at all time. He loves to play. He was pretty steady all year. He elevated his game in the playoffs.” Mountain Vista and Creek both made it to the final four. Leonard and Farrell were influential in their team’s success. “I just wanted to do anything I could

to help my team win,” said Farrell. “I was getting good pitches to hit and I was seeing the ball well. “In the offseason I worked hard in the weight room and tried to get stronger to hit with more power for doubles and triples. I didn’t try to do too much all year because I knew my teammates had my back.” Farrell finished his senior season with six doubles, five triples and three home runs.

Manhart House gets landmark status Sedalia restaurant becomes 33rd historic designation in county By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Manhart House in Sedalia is Douglas County’s latest addition to its roster of historic landmarks. The Douglas County commissioners recently voted to approve the house at 5450 Manhart St. as the 33rd historic landmark in the county. Gabriel’s Restaurant and Tuscan Bar now resides in the lot occupied by the Manhart House. According to the Douglas County History Research Center, the home was built by George Washington Manhart in 1909. An early Douglas County pioneer, Manhart was a young boy when he arrived in Douglas County in 1866 with his parents and family. Shortly after marrying Bertha Hoffman, Manhart in 1878 moved to what was the new town of Plum, later renamed Sedalia, where he owned and operated the Manhart Store for 41 years. In 1909 Manhart constructed the two-story, brick-andframe Manhart House, and he and his family moved into their new home. Manhart continued to operate his store for 10 more years before retiring due to ill health, according to the Douglas County History Research Center. Members of the Manhart family continued to live in the house following the 1920 death of George Manhart. As of 1930, Bertha and her brother William Hoffman were living there, along with three of the Manhart children, Florence, Ethel and Christian. Eventually the descendants of George and Bertha decided to sell the property, which covered four lots. However, by splitting the site in half, they could keep the Manhart House in the family a little longer. They sold the south half, which contained the store, in 1964. They finally sold the north half, which included the house, in 1973 to Jean and Mary LaPerriere. The home remained in the family for 64 years. In 1983, the residence at 5450 Manhart St. (State Highway 67) was transformed from a merchant’s home into a restau-

The family-owned and -operated Gabriel’s has been overseen by Matthew Bundy since its opening. In order to be given landmark consideration, a site must submit an application, be reviewed by the historic preservation board for historical significance and get approval by the Board of County Commissioners. “Most people don’t realize how Sedalia was the epicenter of this county at one point,” Douglas County District 1 Commissioner Jack Hilbert said. According to the Douglas County Historical Society, the plaque on the building will read: Manhart House 1909-1973. “This is another great addition to the Douglas County Historical society. If anything, what most people don’t realize is that just landmarking is one thing, but it’s the historical documentation, the studying that goes along with the landmarking that is what’s priceless,” Hilbert said. “It’s a lot of work and that’s really what gets stored and marked down in history. One day the building may fall, but the photos and the documentation of what was will not. Those are going to be there.”
