cmichlewicz@ ourcoloradonews.com Results from a recent survey of Parker residents show a continued appreciation for recreational amenities, and concern over a lack of employment opportunities.

The 2013 Town of Parker Citizen Survey revealed the attitudes of 808 random residents, roughly one-third of whom have called Parker home for 10 years or more. They weighed in on topics such as quality of life, traffic, sense of community, growth and cost of living.

The five-page survey — mailed out in January — was the first since 2009. The normally biannual set of questions was scrapped in 2011 due to budget constraints, said Elise Penington, community affairs coordinator for the town.

Among the highest-rated strengths was quality of life, with 91 percent rating it as either “good” or “excellent.” Recreational amenities in the town also were popular, with 90 percent saying they are “good” or “excellent.”

The majority of respondents — 55 percent — said they believe population growth in Parker was too fast over the last two years. New housing construction was also a concern, with 24 percent saying it was occurring

A citizen survey reveals Parker residents enjoy the town’s recreational amenities. File photo “much too fast.” They represent larger percentages than the national averages, and concerns about growth have been a common theme in Parker’s citizen survey since it was launched in 1999.

However, 43 percent of the survey-takers rated the pace of population growth as the “right amount,” highlighting widely

differing opinions regarding improving economic and housing market conditions.

Residents used the survey to criticize areas they believe need improvement. Sixty-nine percent rated job opportunities in Parker as “fair” or “poor,” and 68 percent said the same about the ease of bus travel. The majority of those who answered ques-

tions about bus travel, however, acknowledged that they do not use public transportation, Penington said.

Town officials are actively pursuing major employers through tax incentive packages.

Bus travel is also on town council’s radar, with ongoing efforts to boost local ridership.

Respondents rated the town’s “openness and acceptance of the community toward people of diverse backgrounds” differently, with 66 percent saying the town is “excellent” or “good,” and 34 percent rating it as “fair” or “poor.”

Douglas County’s unemployment rate has dipped to 5.8 percent, the lowest it has been since the conclusion of the fourth quarter in 2008.

The number comes as great news for the county, which just released its 2013 firstquarter data days after the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics put out its year-to-year statistics that showed Douglas County as having the seventh-largest increase in employment from the end of 2011 to the end of 2012, out of the 328 largest counties in the United States.

Douglas County increased its total number of jobs to 98,500, up 5,000 from a year ago, a 5.1 percent increase. The study also showed the county as second in average weekly wage increase of the 328 counties — which account for 71.3 percent of all jobs and 77 percent of all wages in the country.

Leading the way in weekly wage increase was California’s San Mateo County, which saw a 107.3 percent bump, vaulting from $1,563 per week per person to $3,240.

Douglas County workers saw an average increase of 48 percent, increasing from $1,075 per week in 2011 to $1,591 in 2012. Wages for No. 3, the independent city of Virginia Beach, climbed only 13.3 percent.

Yet while the $516 increase appears to be an astounding one, according to Douglas County spokeswoman Wendy Holmes, it is skewed by the fact that wages increased 362 percent for the industry of “management of companies and enterprises.”

“When you remove that group, wages in Douglas County are only up 7.9 percent,” Holmes said, pointing to the other 18 industries that were weighed.

Still, that is a positive sign for a county that between the fourth quarters in 2010 and 2011 ranked No. 318 with an 8.6 decrease in wages, all industries considered.

The county only had three industries that were down, and with the addition of 5,000 new jobs there is a lot to be pleased about, said Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella.

“I would say it is because of two things,” Repella said. “It says that businesses that are already here are doing well enough to start giving people salary increases. It is also Jobs continues on Page 11

July 12, 2013

Love planted in Colorado sprouts in Africa On an unseasonably cold April day three years ago, snow broke from the sky and chilled business for a Castle Rock garage sale. But high school student Hanna Tenerowicz and her friends in the French Honor Society slapped high fives in jubilation.

They had raised $150, enough to pay for two Congolese girls to stay in school another year and lessen their risk of being married at 13 or 14 in exchange for money to feed their families.

“They were just so excited that we raised enough to sponsor a girl,” said Anne Damanti, Hanna’s French teacher at Castle View High School.

But Hanna, 19, a wisp of a young woman who just completed her freshman year at Wellesley College near Boston, wants to do more.

Two weeks ago she left for the Democratic Republic of Congo to document the lives of schoolgirls, bring back their hopes and ideas for community transformation, and establish connections to help those dreams come true.

“Gender equality makes a difference,” Hanna, whose soft voice conveys conviction with quiet, deep passion, said before leaving. “It’s a domino effect on all kinds of things.”

The story of how this came to be — that a girl so shy Anne often couldn’t hear her speak in class has grown into a young woman daring to change lives — converges on a shared connection to the French language and a motivation to help.

It is a story of compassion, determination and, quite simply, courage. Because it takes bravery to stretch beyond the familiar, to push cultural boundaries, to try to make a difference in a world so big and complicated we sometimes wonder whether what we do matters.

Finally, perhaps most importantly, it is a story of empowerment.

And it begins with Sandra Bea, who emigrated to Colorado in 2001 from the French-speaking D.R. Congo to continue her studies in education. A French teacher, she graduated from Metropolitan State

University of Denver and today is dean of students at Global Village Academy, a language immersion school in Denver.

The daughter of an engineer of a local mining company in Mbuji-Mayi, the country’s third largest city, Sandra grew up without worries: “I was eating three times a day; I went to school with a car. I grew up really easily. It was not hard like the other girls are facing right now. We never had any conversation about `You are going to get married in two days because we don’t have the money.’”

It wasn’t until she was 22 and student teaching in her former high school that she understood the reality. Every two weeks, it seemed, another student would leave.

They were, she learned, getting married.

“Why?” she asked.

“Because, Madam, we are not like you,” they told her. “You can afford it. We cannot afford it.”

“That,” Sandra said, “broke my heart.”

So, four years ago, she founded the nonprofit Muanjadi Organization, a women’s empowerment project that helps girls complete their high school education and avoid early arranged marriages.

“For many parents in the Congo, marrying off their daughters constitutes a source of revenue in a country where people live with less than $1 a day with a GDP per capita of $300,” Sandra writes on the organization’s website.

Through fundraising and donations, the organization — whose name means Brave Woman — provides tuition and supplies for girls in seventh through 12th grades at the same school Sandra attended.

Cost for one girl for one year of high school: $75.

Cost for one year of college: $350.

Anne, originally from Belgium, met Sandra and learned about Muanjadi at a state world language conference three years ago.

She brought the idea back to her French Honor Society, which was looking for a community service project.

Students learned how most girls eat just one meal a day and how the school has no water or electricity. They compared the cost of one year of high school to what teens here might spend on fancy jeans or a Starbucks coffee habit. “That’s not a lot to have the freedom to actually go to school and try to be something,” Anne said.

That, Hanna said, coupled with the specter of forced marriage, “was a pretty powerful thing to learn about.”

Last school year, Muanjadi sponsored 100 girls, 11 of them thanks to Castle View.

The honor society, which has corresponded with the girls through letters, phone and Skype, also is sponsoring a student in college — one of the girls it began sponsoring in high school three years ago. Other organization sponsors include Kent Denver Academy, Metro State, Colorado State University, a lawyers’ organization and many individuals and families.

But Hanna hopes to take the program one step further.

Her new project is Portrait of a Brave Woman. Accompanied by Sandra, she has spent the past two weeks interviewing — in French — and filming girls at the school about their lives, but also about their ideas to implement change in their communities.

She plans to share the mini-documentaries with artists who will be encouraged to create paintings about a particular girl whose story connects with them. Proceeds from the sale of those paintings will go toward the girls’ personal and community goals, such as becoming a nurse or training midwives to decrease the high infant mortality rate.

The objectives are several: to empower Congolese girls, improve their communi-

ties and create meaningful cross-cultural connections with Western artists and buyers.

“I hope community improvement brought about by women’s ideas will help to create more positive and respectful attitudes towards women in Mbuji-Mayi,” Hanna, also an artist, said. And “I hope the project empowers the girls themselves by helping them to personally make a difference.”

Her dream is unquestionably big.

But, Anne said, “There is nothing, anymore, that she can’t do.”

Hanna’s visit, Sandra said, is the concrete realization of what dreams and hard work can accomplish. And having someone their age talk to them and share ideas with them is inspirational: “You don’t know me, but you came to give me a chance to become someone.”

Which is exactly what Hanna wanted to do after reading “Half the Sky,” a book about the oppression of women and girls in the developing world.

“It really changed my outlook on the world,” she said. “I was really interested in doing whatever I could to make a difference.”

Hanna returns this week with her videos and interviews and dream.

“I’m definitely prepared for this to change my life,” she said before leaving.

Without a doubt, it will. But, in a school half a world away, girls are surely changed, too, because a stranger from a different life cared enough to learn about theirs.

That’s empowerment. The kind that makes a difference.

School security ready for rollout $674,000 marshal program to outfit officers in ‘soft’ uniform

‘I think it’s a good program. I think it does give us another layer of safety.’

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Armed law enforcement officers will spend about two hours each day in area elementary, middle and other school buildings as part of the Douglas County School District’s new school security program.

The $674,000 marshal program, which launches in August with the start of the academic year, was created in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in December.

The district budgeted $600,000 for the program’s first year. Seven charter schools that opted into the program are paying a total of $74,000. That $674,000 reimburses the sheriff’s office and Castle Rock, Parker and Lone Tree police departments for their officers’ time.

DCSD will pay the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office $361,000, Castle Rock $160,000, Parker $123,000 and Lone Tree police $30,000.

Lone Tree Police Chief Jeff Streeter The amounts are based on the number of schools in each jurisdiction. Lone Tree, for instance, has the fewest buildings to patrol, with just two elementary schools and an early childhood education center.

While the original plan called for plainclothes officers, they’ll instead wear what officers describe as a “soft uniform” — including a shirt with a department insignia on the front and “police” or “sheriff” printed on the back — so school staff, students and other officers easily can identify them.

“In talking with law enforcement, there was concern about other agencies responding in the event of an emergency, and not being able to identify law enforcement from another threat,” DCSD Chief Operations Officer Bill Moffitt said. “So the agree-

ment we landed on was a soft uniform.”

Because officers will report to schools in unmarked cars, those outside the building won’t know when law enforcement is on campus.

Lone Tree Police Chief Jeff Streeter said officers will spend an hour every morning and afternoon in each of the city’s three school buildings. They’ll interact with students and staff, which Streeter said isn’t unlike their previous school visits.

“Lone Tree has always participated with the school district in training classes, DARE being one of them, weekly or every other week,” he said. “So now we’ll be there on a daily basis.

“I think it’s a good program. I think it does give us another layer of safety.”

The sheriff’s office, meanwhile, is responsible for 38 charter, middle and elementary schools. Like Lone Tree, the office doesn’t plan to hire additional officers to do the work.

“We have a little under 300 sworn officers,” sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Ron Hanavan said. “Out of those 300, people can basically on their days off sign up for extra duty.

There wouldn’t be enough funding to hire additional officers. We’re doing it for us in the most cost-effective way.”

Lone Tree won’t use patrol officers, instead relying on those who work in the investigations division.

The Parker Police Department plans to hire an additional officer to help implement the program. Castle Rock is relying on existing staff this year, but will hire and train two more officers by the start of the 2014-15 academic year, according to town spokeswoman Caroline Kipp.

“We’re really confident this is going to be successful,” Moffitt said.

“I think it’s going to be an excellent additional lawyer of security that really strikes a partnership in the community and the county as a whole.”

Officials monitor deer shot with arrow Wildlife officers hesitate to tranquilize animal

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Wildlife officers are monitoring the condition of a deer seen wandering a Parker neighborhood with an arrow in its back.

The young buck has been spotted by concerned residents in the Robinson Ranch subdivision several times since late June, and a Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife officer responded to the area June 28 and caught a glimpse of the wounded animal.

Jennifer Churchill, spokeswoman for the state division, said officers are reluctant to

intervene unless the deer suffered a lifethreatening injury. The animal has not been slowed by the arrow, which appears to have punctured the deer’s hide.

Tranquilization can be stressful and even lead to death, and is a last resort in this case, Churchill said.

“We’re not sure if it’s going to break off, but we will keep eye on it,” she said. “If it starts to fail in health, then it may be appropriate to step in.”

The Parker Police Department, which has received numerous phone calls about the deer, said the animal is “very mobile.”

The Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife is asking residents to call 303-2917227 if the buck begins limping or looks to be in bad health. People are being asked not to approach or attempt to capture the deer.

The police department is hoping the public can provide tips that will lead to the apprehension of the person who shot the deer with the arrow. That person could face a long list of poaching-related charges, Churchill said. Animal cruelty charges generally don’t apply in wildlife cases.

Tips can be submitted to the Parker Police Department Animal Services Officer at 303-805-6631 or bdeyoe@parkeronline.org.

parker news in a hurry Missing dogs raise care issue

Douglas County sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to Tammy Lane in Parker on June 23 and spoke with a homeowner who had just returned from a three-day trip to Texas. The homeowner had left two dogs, a 65-pound German shepherd mix named Emily, and a 130-pound black lab named Jules, in her fenced yard with food, water and shelter, and returned home to find them missing.

The homeowner was under the impression the dogs had been stolen, as she said, “they do not run away and had no way to get out of the yard.” On June 24, the case was closed as a neighbor who had found the dogs running free while the homeowner was gone and had taken them in, made contact with the homeowner and returned the dogs. Temperatures reached 93 degrees in Parker during that three-day span.

“We suggest that people either kennel their dogs or have a friend or loved one look after them and take care of them if they are going to be away,” said Sgt. Ron Hanavan, spokesman for the sheriff’s office. “Especially with the hot temperatures, dogs that are left outside should not be left unattended. They don’t have the ability to monitor their own body temperature in the heat and aren’t always going to go to the shade even if it is there.”

Task force reaches out for help

On July 20, Parker residents will be asked to think of other’s needs as they receive fliers asking them to donate food and toiletries to fill the shelves at the Parker

Task Force Food Bank.

It’s all part of the statewide Colorado Cares Day. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be dispersing fliers July 20 with a list of needs. Residents will then have a week to collect items and will be asked to leave the bagged items on their porch for pickup on July 27. The items will be collected and taken directly to the food bank. Last year, nearly 900 items of food were delivered.

For more information, contact public affairs director Lori L. Jackson at Lorilh. jackson@gmail.com or 720-936-7310.

Spiff up the car, clean the pup

Clean the car and the dog for a great cause at Kwik Car Wash’s “Dog Days of Summer” event from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 20. Kwik Car Wash will donate 50 percent of all car wash sales to the Safe Harbor Lab Rescue, plus free dog washes will be provided courtesy of Heritage Pet. Paws & Read will be sponsoring the event, along with several other local vendors. Parker Feed will be on site raffling off a gift basket and handing out doggie treats with all proceeds benefiting the Safe Harbor Lab Rescue as well. Wild at Heart will be on site to pamper pooches with doggie massages, while Coldstone Creamery will be providing treats for the human customers. Kimberly with TYE Photography will be available to photograph your nicely cleaned car and pup.

Spine surgery ‘best decision ever’ Parker Adventist patient touts machine that minimizes risk

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ ourcoloradonews.com Anyone with chronic back problems knows that debilitating pain can render the simplest tasks impossible.

For someone like Wes Shoen, an active outdoorsman and married father of two boys, his worsening back pain meant a life devoid of his favorite sports: golf, skiing, running. He is also an avid surfer, and the shooting pain made Shoen’s move from water to board more difficult, plus he wasn’t the same when riding waves in some of the best surf spots in the world.

Shoen, who moved from Highlands Ranch to unincorporated Jefferson County last year, woke up one morning with minor back discomfort and decided he probably slept wrong. That occurred every two weeks,

and later became so frequent that he sought help from a chiropractor, who directed him to get an MRI. The MRI revealed a herniated disc between the L4 and L5 lumbar vertebrae.

In the hopes of avoiding surgery, Dr. Zaki Ibrahim started Shoen out with a steroid injection, which worked well before wearing off about a month later.

Shoen moved on to oral steroids for six months, but realized that something needed to change after a vacation to Las Vegas. When Shoen missed the slightest incline or decline on a sidewalk, he would fall and experience immense pain in his lower spine.

“I said, `I can’t live like that.’ I was tired of trying to make it work,” the 43-yearold said. “I went to the doctor and I said, `I want my life back. What can you do?’”

Ibrahim, a spine surgeon at Parker Adventist and Littleton Adventist hospitals, says he had heard about a machine, the Mazor Robotics Renaissance surgical guidance system, through medical journals, but never expected that one would

The hospital is one of few in the country, and the only one in the Rocky Mountain region, with the spine surgery device.

Shoen was the perfect candidate for the minimally invasive surgery, in which tiny incisions are made, limiting tissue disruption.

Ibrahim says he can make

a pre-operative plan, based on a CT scan obtained before surgery, to guide the instrumentation to the correct place. A computer software program “registers to anatomic landmarks,” making the insertion of screws to stabilize the spine more precise, he said.

“The idea that you can target particular structures outside of the skin, without

seeing them, is novel,” Ibrahim said.

He directed Shoen, who had gained weight after going nearly two years without skiing, golfing or running, to watch a video about the Mazor Robotics Renaissance guidance system.

That was all it took.

“In my mind, it was an easy decision,” said Shoen, a project engineer for a natural gas company.

On Jan. 31, he was among the first to undergo the advanced surgery at Parker Adventist; only 16 surgeries have taken place since the system’s arrival in October 2012, but that number is expected to increase dramatically.

One month to the day after the surgery, Shoen was doing light running, and he “felt 100 percent” at two months. At exactly the four-month mark, he was in Costa Rica surfing his first waves with his 8-year-old son. He says today that he cannot tell that he has had surgery.

Because the surgery is minimally invasive, recovery time is cut in half, Ibrahim says.

Shoen did not have to undergo any physical therapy, despite having what was once a major surgical procedure.

“It was the best decision ever,” he says.

’ Artists ‘hang together’ at library

Mentoring program passes knowledge to kids from area

s an hoen, Recent visitors to the Parker Library nat-might have noticed a slight change in decor.

The second annual “Let’s Hang Togethmonger” Art Show is a display of works from e ad-amateur and experienced artists from the arkerParker area. eries Organized by the 235-member Parke theer Artists Guild, “Let’s Hang Together” is oberthe culmination of a mentoring program s ex-meant to pass knowledge from one generamati-tion to another.

Bill Parker, co-chairman of the art show, daysaid 24 guild members mentored 33 kids hoenand teens this year. The mentees “get to exning,perience the whole process of creating art, nt” atdisplaying it for critique and maybe selling y theit,” he said. as in The 55 pieces hanging on the library firstwalls this year cover the range of media, r-oldfrom photography to acrylics to watercolat heors. The first “Let’s Hang Together” Art Show hadlast year was well-received by the community, said Laura Elhaje, co-chairwoman of ry isthe show. ecov- Keeping the arts alive is important in Ibra-a time when budget cuts are eliminating school art classes, she said. Those being e to therwhat gical

mentored include the kids, grandkids and neighbors of Parker Artists Guild members, as well as children from the community.

The mentors teach a variety of techniques during the side-by-side process, including how to do a wash and how wet the paint should be.

The hands-on guidance gives the kids experience and a “sense of accomplishment,” said Elhaje, a guild member for five years.

Sally Elliott, a well-known artist in Denver who has taught at the University of Colorado in Denver and Boulder since 1984, will award prizes to the participating PAG artists and provide personal feedback to all the young mentees about their artistic creations.

The public is invited to attend a reception for the artists and their mentees from 6 to 8 p.m. July 31 at the Parker Library.

“Let’s Hang Together” is one component of the Parker Artists Guild’s community outreach. The group also has its monthly “Lessons and Lemonade” program, a series of free sessions at Hobby Lobby in Parker.

A different guild artist comes in each month to lead a class. “Lessons and Lemonade” has become so popular that there is a waiting list.

“It’s a desire of the guild to leave a legacy, and this is a good way for them to do that,” Elhaje said.

The Parker Artists Guild welcomes artists of all skill levels as members. For more information, visit www.parkerartistsguild. com.

County secures land to complete trail system Local sections of long route coming together

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Ten years after the vision of a multipurpose trail from Wyoming to New Mexico was put into action, Douglas County has now acquired all the necessary land to piece together an unbroken trail corridor linking Arapahoe and El Paso counties.

With the recent acquisitions of the 26acre Martinez property east of the Tomah Road exit — just north of Larkspur — off Interstate 25, as well as the Iron Horse Open Space to the north, the county now owns all the necessary land to link the Cherry Creek Trail at the Arapahoe border to the Greenland Open Space Trail to the south.

The Colorado Front Range Trail, which could someday connect 15 cities, 14 counties and many smaller towns and communities, expects to span 876 miles once it is complete.

Spearheaded by Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the project has over 500 stakeholders, including federal agencies and communities along the trail, working together to complete the vision.

“Douglas County actually has a fairly large chunk of it already developed,” said Cheryl Matthews, Douglas County open space director. “We still have to get from Columbine Open Space, which is about six miles south of Castle Rock, into Castle Rock someday in the future, but in the meantime, we now have that final link to get from

Columbine to the El Paso County line.”

The Greenland Open Space Trail on the south end of the county already connects to the New Santa Fe Trail, which runs south through El Paso County, 43 miles down to Fountain. Once Douglas County develops all of the land it has acquired into trails one will be able to get to Fountain up into Denver County, utilizing eventual connections from the Greenland trail to the Plum Creek, Castle Oaks and Cherry Creek trails.

There is still one other plot the county hopes to obtain that will allow it connect the Plum Creek Trail going west to the High Line Canal, Platte Canyon and Chatfield trails, and connecting to the 470 Trail, which will give hikers and bikers the option of going east or west on the Colorado Front Range Trail while inside Douglas County.

For now, Matthews said, there is excitement in having that spine in place to run the trail through the county. As far as how quickly the necessary links get developed, she says a master plan process will begin this summer and the hope is that some of the trail work will begin in 2014.

“It is going to depend a lot on funding,” she said, adding that the county will apply for grant funding. “We could do it all in one year if we get enough money.”

The Douglas County commissioners approved the $675,000 purchase of the Martinez Property June 23, which includes the 26 acres of land, a 3,834-square-foot home that could be used for a variety of purposes, a 560-square-foot equipment building and 27 acre-feet of adjudicated water rights for the portion of East Plum Creek that runs through the property.

Schools gain from experience People 60 and older work during academic year

By Jane Reuter

Fifty-five years after he first started teaching, Gordon Goudy is still in the classroom. The 77-year-old Acres Green resident, among 100 enrolled in the Senior Employee Program, helps Acres Green Elementary fourth-grade math students four days a week for a few hours each time.

“I love it,” Goudy said. “I love working with the kids to bring out their potential, seeing them make progress.

“It keeps my mind going, keeps me from getting stagnant. Besides that, my wife likes it because it gets me out of the house.”

The Douglas County School District program, launched in 1989, has a permanent waiting list.

Seniors earn minimum wage and work a maximum of 170 hours during the school year, usually in a school near their home, often in a school their grandchildren attend.

Goudy and about 25 other participants gathered in Castle Rock July 2 for the annual Senior Employee Program appreciation event, this year including a free magic performance at Castle Rock’s Theatre of Dreams.

It’s a small token of appreciation for a huge amount of work, said program coordinator Stacey Briggs.

“The average value of a volunteer hour is over $20 an hour, so $7.76 doesn’t even come close to it,” she said. “With budget

cuts, I’ve had more requests the last couple years than I did when it started. The schools are thrilled to have them.”

Seniors are thrilled, too.

“Everyone wants to feel like they’re making a difference and I think they really do,” Briggs said. “Plus seniors tell me that little extra money every month really helps them out. The only sad part is there are so many people that would like to be involved and I don’t have enough spaces.”

Those who earn a coveted spot in the program’s ranks typically keep it.

“I have some that have been in for 25 years,” Briggs said. “They have to be over 60, so I have some that are over 85 years old that are still in the program. If the schools are happy and they’re happy, they can stay in the program as long as they like.”

Ruth Baxter just finished her second year with the program as a reading tutor at Parker’s Mountain View Elementary. It’s a natural next step for a woman who spent much of her career helping improve children’s literacy.

“I have this wonderful passion for struggling readers,” she said. “I love the interaction with the children.”

Sadie Bush is new to the program, just completing her first year working in the library at Castle Rock’s Clear Sky Elementary.

She’ll be back in August to resume her duties.

“I retired after 40 years as a nurse; I didn’t want any more nursing,” she said. “A friend of mine was doing this and told me; I’m very grateful to her. I love my job.”

opinions / yours and ours

Don’t let one second go unappreciated Have you ever paid attention when someone is counting for a specific purpose or during a game or competition, and as they near the point of where they are counting toward, there is a discernable difference in the tonality and pace? If they are counting to 10 for instance it may sound something like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 888, 999999, 10.

What is it about the approach to those final numbers that has us draw them out, elongate them for dramatic purposes? We could be counting to 10, 50, 100, or any number for that matter, and just as we get close for some reason we end up with 95, 96, 9777, 988888, 999999999, 100. It’s not even the final number that gets the extra emphasis, I mean when we hit 10 or 100 we just say that number sharply and crisply, with absolute finality.

It even happens when we do a countdown and reverse the order, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 333, 222222, 1111111, 0! Almost as if we are trying to extend or expand a timed event or task. I know it makes it fun during games and competitions, especially when

we are surrounded by our friends and family and enjoying our time together while we play.

I like those other numbers too, all of those in-between numbers. I like thinking about how I can make every second count.

There are 86,400 seconds in each day, and it’s the same for each and every one of us.

During a recent workout I noticed that I was actually counting my repetitions in much the same way I described above.

Particularly when I was doing a particular exercise and had to hold a position for a specified period of time. As I was counting

Flesh is weak, spirit isn’t far behind Ninety-year old Constance Rolon cried when Denver police officers welcomed her back into her home. Constance had been taken to a motel by the officers two weeks earlier because they determined that her house was uninhabitable.

I have seen this before. My good friend Ruth Todd lost her husband and most of her five senses, and housework didn’t get done.

Constance’s daughter died, and her son Paul vanished 13 years ago. A 2001 Westword article, “Home Alone,” details Paul’s mysterious disappearance when he was vacationing in Crete. Constance’s caregiver was gone.

Little by little, her home went undone.

Ruth’s home went that way too.

Ruth was 96 when she died in a hospice, and thinking we were married. Relatives were anxious for her money, but not to help out with her estate.

Ruth’s brilliant paintings went to the Kirkland Museum. Her furniture was sold or donated. The rest, including an empty bowling ball bag, went into one of the two dumpsters that I filled.

Ruth spent a lot of time in ambulances near the end of her life. She always took her resume with her.

She was a beautiful New York model in the 1920s and 30s, and by the time she turned 87, when I met her, she was an invisible woman.

When police officers made a welfare check on Constance they couldn’t get in the front door. “Trash and tangled possessions” blocked them. There were cats.

Aren’t there always cats?

Ruth had a cat named Sweet Pea. Sweet Pea was attached to Ruth and to no one else. Ruth had one cat after another. In succession, they showed up at her back door. Ruth let one in, and it stayed with her for the rest of its life. Then another one showed up.

“How terribly strange to be 70.” Simon

and Garfunkel wrote that. I am a handful of years away from being strange. The truth is that I have been strange all along.

No one wants to get older. We lose things and forget things. The crisp young woman who walked the high school halls is long gone. We can no longer talk like we once did. Words become wickets. No one pays attention to us. No one flirts.

Ruth and I went grocery shopping. It took two hours. She held up the grapes.

She looked at vegetables like she might be seeing them for the last time.

“At roll call, I told the guys what I needed and they all volunteered and took a chore,” said Sgt. Kim Lovato of the District 1 station.” The officers replaced carpet and painted Constance’s walls. They took care of the cats.

Ruth bent over to pick up a piece of paper on her front porch. She broke her hip, and didn’t come home for 40 days.

She didn’t think she would ever come home. So I went to her house and took pictures. Sweet Pea showed up, out of nowhere, and she let me take a picture of her.

I took the pictures to the nursing home and Ruth couldn’t stop crying. Then she held me.

If 70 is strange, what is 90? I’m not sure I want to find out. Beautiful lives sometimes fade without grace. I looked at my father in a Michigan hospital and wanted him to come back and play catch with me. But he couldn’t do anything on his own. He Smith continues on Page 9

down in my head and neared the number zero, I literally found myself extending the final numbers just so I could work a little harder. Of course, I could have just as easily kept counting, but the effect of drawing out the countdown to zero seemed to motivate me just a little more.

How many times during our day do we either rush to have our workday come to an end, wishing the seconds and minutes would tick by just a little faster? It’s almost like we are counting them, either counting them up or counting them down, but we are watching the clock either way. And it could also happen as we wish the evening chores would go by faster or our workouts would be over sooner.

What would happen if we stopped wishing for our 86,400 seconds to fly by us each day and we focused on making the most out of every one of the seconds we are so blessed to enjoy?

During the rush and crush of our lives it is so easy to get wrapped up in the moments that we forget seconds. And each second is so valuable. Just ask a profes-

sional football player or basketball player if they can win a game with only three seconds left on the game clock. Watch as top chefs compete on some of the Food Network shows like “Chopped” or “Master Chef” and how much they can accomplish in the final 30 seconds as they complete their dishes.

Instead of counting up to a final number or counting down to zero, and instead of just emphasizing those final few seconds, try to remember just how important every second is and think of ways that you can and will make every second count.

Are you managing the clock to maximize every second, or winning the game in the final three seconds with a “buzzer beater” all too often? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and I hope this will be a better than good week for you.

Time to address parent concerns In a recent opinion piece, “Bogus claims ...,” Mr. Randy Reed claimed to be interested in the truth regarding the state of Douglas County School District. In the next breath he claims there is a “cottage industry of pro-union attack groups that have sprouted up across our community” without providing any concrete evidence of who these groups are and what proof he has of their association to the AFL-CIO or ACLU. The truth, Mr. Reed, is that these groups consist of parents who no longer have a voice in the Douglas County School District. Parents who moved to Douglas County with the hope of educating their children in one of the best school districts in the state. Instead they discover that class sizes have exploded and high school instructional time has been cut while the district is holding back vital resources and allowing its fund balance to quadruple.

The variance between budget and actual expenditures is inexcusable and the ongoing $20 million surplus year after year demonstrates that cuts to our schools were unnecessarily made.

Parents, often referred to as “customers” by the Board of Education, are discouraged by the actions of a school board that spends half of their time meeting behind closed doors and by a district that ignores the results of a parent survey showing that only 38 percent of parents are satisfied with the direction of the district. Many parents have tried addressing their concerns at board meetings and District Accountability Committee meetings, only to be ignored, intimidated or belittled.

Parker Chronicle

Clearly, there is a problem in the school district — just read the paper week after week. Parents whose voices have been silenced will no longer sit idle while their childrens’ education is in jeopardy. Parentdriven groups like Strong Schools Coalition and Douglas County Parents have “sprouted up” because unlike Reed’s organization, parents are not flush with money to spend on robo calls and paid canvassers who distribute literature to virtually every citizen’s front door. Parents are hosting house parties through DCEdOutreach simply because they want a voice and their cries have gone unanswered.

If Reed truly wants the truth about what is happening in Douglas County School District, simply restore parent voices.

Reed’s refusal to acknowledge that a large number of parents have valid concerns leads me to believe that the truth may not be what he is truly seeking.

Susan D. Meek is a former spokeswoman for the Douglas County School District who ran for a board seat and served as vice president of Strong Schools Coalition.

Letters to the editor Schools in good hands

I’ve been a resident of Douglas County for 35 years and I have two children, who attended our public schools from kindergarten through graduation. I, like many others, have been supportive of our district school board and administration’s innovative policies, which a recent Denver Post editorial said were “on the right track.”

I applaud the district’s fiscal management that has recently allowed for all employees to receive a raise, while meeting federal and state restrictions for reserves and contingencies and keeping an emergency fund. The new high school class schedule has made important changes.

It has reduced class sizes overall, created new electives, increased academic achievement, reduced absences and tardiness while allowing for flexibility, should there be there a drastic federal or state cut in school funding.

Meanwhile, our teachers have worked with administrators to put together this year’s new teacher evaluation system.

During the same period, teachers have been innovating and revamping their own curriculums.

Other positives? The district maintains a 10 percent normal annual attrition rate for teachers that is actually lower than other local school districts and, recently, the Sunshine Review gave the Douglas County School District an A- transparency rating. Additionally, our district will have a school marshal plan in place next fall to make our children safer at school.

The day of the “school factory” is ending. To compete globally, the premise of education needs to shift. Douglas County is heading in a good direction by moving toward a world-class education that is personalized to fit each child’s needs. Our board of education has set a good course.

Parents should pay heed to school situation

What is it saying to the parents of students in Douglas County Schools if a recent graduate of the system is throwing his hat in the race for your school board representative because he sees the direction the district is heading may not be in the best interest of the students?

When are you parents going to get off their butts and learn what actions may be affecting your child’s education? If the education of your child is important to you rather than just baby-sitting, then it’s time for you to get involved and support the current board or those who seek change.

I commend Nicholas Land for wanting to put himself in the awkward position of seeking change and being mature enough to step down if splitting the vote causes the current board member to retain her seat.

Maybe Ronda Scholting should consider that action as well since she is a declared Democrat and even if board elections are suppose to be non-partisan, Republicans have a strong hold on elections in Douglas County and having someone unaffiliated may have a better chance.

Parents, this is not about political parties but about creating an atmosphere that provides the best education for your child, and it appears Mr. Land must feel that is not the case in Douglas County Schools.

Parents, get involved and learn what is happening in our schools and don’t let either political party control the education of kids. Your voice is needed!

Dave Usechek Parker

Reed’s claims are bogus

Regarding Randy Reed’s guest column in the June 27-28 editions: Randy Reed’s charges are bogus!

Whatever happened to the non-partisan school board elections? There was a time when both major political parties sat on the board, working together for the best school district in the state. There were disagreements and they were worked out

Smith Continued from Page 10

couldn’t even talk with me.

We see each other with quiet familiarity. But some of us are floating away while we’re still here, and go unnoticed.

Ruth used to say, “Take me to Dr. Kev-

for the betterment of ALL concerned; teachers, staff, students, parents and the whole community. There was never the divisive, one-minded, secretive and political ideology there is now. The taxpayers’ money stayed in the district for kids and their education, not to pay an outrageous salary to the superintendent, or hire some Republican lawyer from Colorado Springs, or to private/religious schools.

It is time for a new board to be elected.

Thank you, Randy Reed

Regarding Randy Reed’s guest column in the June 27-28 editions: Thanks for the enlightening trip into the minds of those supposedly in control of Douglas County Schools. You are a part of what’s going on there, you sense it isn’t working, and recognize it is beginning to fail. You see a chance to sound the alarm and become a hero. You follow your political instincts, find someone else to blame.

You launch a particularly bitter denunciation of the district’s teacher union.

Problem is, Mr. Reed, that the community knows that your villain has already been defanged and declawed. All our teachers have left is their voice. Maybe you could get a mass gag order to completely silence them like you wish.

The villain is not the union, Mr. Reed, it is you and everyone else involved in yielding control of our school district to the NRP. This is the big truth that you try to obscure.

Big money is real ‘outside influence’

Randy Reed’s guest column is desperate to make people believe that the fight against the reforms in the Douglas County School District is driven by the union. He asks, “Do Douglas County Schools belong to us, or to liberal special-interest groups like the ACLU and the AFL-CIO?” That is an interesting question. Who does this school district belong to? Does it belong to the parents, students and teachers in Douglas County, or does it belong to outside interests with deep pockets?

The outside interests I refer to are not the AFL-CIO or the ACLU. They are outside interests like Alex Cranberg and Ralph Nagel, of the Alliance for School Choice, who donated more than $20,000 to Doug Benevento and Meghann Silverthorn’s campaigns in 2009.

Neither Cranberg nor Nagel is a resident of Douglas County.

Alex Cranberg also donated $50,000 to the District’s legal fund for the voucher lawsuit. Additional donations have come from The Daniels Fund, in excess of $500,000, and the Walton Family Foundation at $300,000. The Daniels Fund has given the Douglas County school district $150,000 to create commercials promoting this school board and their reforms. Who is being influenced by outside interests?

Does this school district belong to the Alliance for School Choice, The Daniels Fund and the Walton Family Foundation? Or does it belong to the parents, students and teachers who want a say in what is best for our kids and their education?

I am a parent. I am not a union member, union representative or union operative. The union has nothing to do with my concern for the direction of the district.

My concern has everything to do with my children, their education and the interests outside of Douglas County that are trying to influence it.

Adult agendas trump students’ best interest

in the June 27-28 editions: The big truth, Randy Reed, is that I am “red-in-the-face mad at the Dougco School Board and Administration.” I am a PARENT of Douglas County students. I am NOT the AFL-CIO, ACLU, nor any other union.

The recent evaluation fiasco clearly demonstrates this leadership’s irresponsible actions.

Rather than using its incomplete evaluation program as a pilot this year (as many school districts have done), Dougco leadership recklessly implemented an ill-conceived evaluation program a year before required by statute and tied all employee salaries to it before proving it to be valid or reliable.

All done in an effort to pad resumes and make a name for themselves as the “national leader in public school innovation.”

The big truth is that the audacious disregard of what is best for students in order to promote adults’ personal agendas is wreaking havoc in our public schools and makes this parent even more determined to get new leadership in the Douglas County School District.

Don’t let moneyed groups destroy our schools

With a school board election a few months away, Douglas County teachers continue to be vilified by anti-public education interests. The latest attack is Randy Reed’s opinion piece in the June 27-28 editions.

What’s true is our children would not be doing so well, year in and year out, were it not for the dedication and commitment of the professionals in the classrooms.

What’s also true is that in just a few short years, our current school board and influential members of our community (like Mr. Reed) have undone decades of good work. They’ve managed to bring politics into classrooms and our homes in a way a union never could.

Mr. Reed runs the Douglas County Education Alliance. It has an important sounding name, with a seemingly innocuous website: www.studentsnotunions.com.

But the Alliance is apparently nothing

more than a front for a moneyed group supporting school privatization.

The Alliance website was established

by DC London, a paid political consulting organization from Phoenix. DC London provides a range of services, including: campaign and “grassroots” management; message and brand development; and lobbying.

DC London was co-founded by Sean Noble and Elissa Scannell, former staff members of Arizona Republican Congressman John Shadegg. Mr. Noble is a prominent Koch brothers’ operative and self-admitted money launderer. He has a history of running conservative cash conduits with very deep pockets. As an example, during the 2010 elections, Mr. Noble funneled almost $55 million to two dozen dark money groups.

Regardless of our political stripes (red, blue, green or rainbow), as parents we ought to ask: Why on God’s green earth is an Arizona-based, political consulting firm engaged in Douglas County school issues?

What is Mr. Reed’s association with Noble and DC London? Why the focus on OUR district?

Follow the money.

Tony Peccolo Castle Rock

Teachers make schools excellent

In response to Randy Reed’s guest column, “Bogus claims can’t hide school excellence,” if “Douglas County is one of the best school districts in America,” then why are only 14 percent of its teachers considered highly effective?

The truth is that the teachers, not the school board, are responsible for the excellence in DCSD and always have been.

Many teachers are not concerned about the union. But the new evaluation system is demoralizing and does not measure the impact teachers have in the classroom. If it did, it would be based on what actually goes on in the classroom — not paperwork. We need to get back to the days when every move made in schools was based on the question “Is that what’s best for kids?”

A group of immigration activists rallied in Denver on July 2 to call on Colorado’s Republican U.S. representatives to support an immigrationreform bill that recently passed the Senate.

“We are calling on our Republican congressional delegation leaders to step up, to exercise leadership, to show bipartisan willingness, to follow the will of the people of Colorado,” said Julien Ross of the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, during a rally that was held outside of Denver’s Republican Party headquarters.

The group waved Americans flags and held signs that signaled its desire for immigration reform at the federal level. Immigration reform is high on President Obama’s second-term priority list, but it’s an effort that faces an unknown future in the Republicancontrolled House.

The bill — which passed the Democratic-controlled Senate by a 68-32

ship will work with Democrats in a bipartisan way to protect our borders and ensure those who are working hard, paying taxes, getting an education, learning English and not committing crimes are able to achieve their American Dream as a citizen of our country,” Perlmutter said.

Colorado House Republicans are concerned that the Senate bill doesn’t go far enough in strengthening border security. Coffman said in a statement that in 1986, when Congress passed a major immigration reform bill, the promises made “on enforcement and border security were not promises kept.”

“I will look for solutions in the House that will provide for the reforms necessary to not only secure our borders but to verify that they remain secure,” Coffman said in the statement.

Coffman spokesman Dustin Zvonek did not wish to comment beyond what was in the statement.

Rally speakers brought up Coffman’s upcoming re-election race, a contest that surely will receive national attention.

“Latinos came out in record numbers in the last election,” said Olivia Mendoza of the Colorado Latino Forum. “This is just the beginning.”

vote on June 27 — overhauls immigration laws by allowing a pathway to citizenship for about 11 million undocumented workers. It also puts provisions in place that strengthen border security.

Many House Republicans have expressed concern over security issues in the bill, and some party members are opposed to a bill that they believe grants amnesty for those living here illegally.

House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio, has said through national media outlets that he will not bring the bill up for a vote if the majority Republicans in his caucus do not support it.

The purpose of the Denver rally, which was organized by Coloradans for Citizenship Now, was to put pressure on Colorado’s four House Republicans — Reps. Mike Coffman, Doug Lamborn, Cory Gardner and Scott Tipton — to support the Senate bill.

Through a statement issued after the rally, Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter joined rally organizers in calling on House Republicans to pass immigration reform, saying that by allowing undocumented persons a pathway to citizenship it would “lead to increased job growth and a stronger economy.”

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com A 31-year-old Franktown man is facing five charges including driving under the influence and first-degree assault for nearly striking a sheriff’s deputy, then leading law officers on a chase down Interstate 25 early July 7.

The pursuit ended with both the

driver and a sheriff’s deputy taken to a hospital after crashing.

Jonathan Merage is accused of vehicular eluding, first-degree assault, resisting arrest, reckless driving and DUI in a series of early morning incidents.

An officer first saw Merage the Lexus traveling about 100 mph on Interstate 25 south of Lone Tree just after 1 a.m., according to Douglas County Sheriff’s Office

Don’t let your teen’s future go up in smoke.

spokesman Sgt. Ron Hanavan.

About 10 minutes later, the car was spotted in an apartment complex off Lincoln Avenue east of I-25. Deputies tried to box the Lexus in with their patrol car, but Merage managed to drive away, narrowly missing a deputy.

Deputies pursued Merage north on Interstate 25 to about Belleview Avenue, where he crashed into a concrete barrier. Two Douglas County sheriff’s vehicles also collided at the scene.

Merage and a deputy both were taken to an area hospital, but were released. Merage was being held in the Douglas County jail.

Fair offers fun for whole herd Arapahoe County stages event just east of E-470

By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com Funnel cakes and pig races are just two reasons to mark the calendar for the 2013 Arapahoe County Fair, and the Third Annual Battle of the Homebrews may be another, according to fair organizers who are putting the finishing touches on this year’s event.

The fair runs July 24-28 at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds, just east of E-470 on Quincy Avenue in Aurora.

Returning favorites include the demolition derby, open and junior rodeos, carnival and two nights of fireworks, if local fire bans permit.

New this year is the National Sled Pullers Association truck and tractor sled pulls, a high-energy event pitting man and machine against traction and gravity on July 26 in the tractor pull arena. Also new this year are a pig race and the Rocky Mountain

Stockdog Association trials.

“Also on the new list this year is the Interactive Stage,” said Stacey Johnson, Arapahoe County spokeswoman. “Here, you’ll find a little bit of everything, like face painting, jugglers, performances by several local dance groups and other animated shows, but the best part is, it’s that one place at the fair where parents can come and find a bit of shade and respite while the kids are still being entertained.”

Johnson said Interactive Stage activities are included in the price of general admission and are kid-friendly.

General admission includes all stage, arena and tent entertainment and is free for all ages July 24-25. Admission goes to $5 for ages 13 and up on July 26-28.

Kids 12 and younger get in free all week.

Parking is $5 per vehicle daily.

Carnival rides, midway games and select activity tickets are sold separately. Buy tokens and pay per ride, or get a daily unlimited carnival ride pass for $25.

The Arapahoe County Fair has been a summertime tradition since 1906.

Repella views the way in which the county altered how it did business once the recession hit as a driving factor in why the county is doing so well today.

“Four years ago, we knew we were facing a very, very different time in the history of Douglas County,” Repella she said. “We had to change how we interacted with the business community and really create a very business-friendly culture.”

The result, she said, has created an “upward spiral” that has continuously helped land large corporations such as Visa USA

“So much of it is about the attitude,” Repella said. “When there is a government jurisdiction that is difficult to work with, businesses tell each other, word gets out, and that jurisdiction gets a bad reputation.

“When you have a government jurisdiction that is great to work with, they share that with each other as well, and that positive reputation pays off. It is rare, from what all these businesses tell me; it is shocking that it’s rare, but it is rare.”

Whether it is speeding up the permit process or simply listening to the needs and desires of prospective companies, Repella said the county is doing everything it can to bring business in and keep that probusiness momentum going.

“We are in a very healthy position,” she said. “But what really matters to me is that people can provide for their families. That’s what all this data means.

REAL ESTATE CAREERS MARKETPLACE SERVICE DIRECTORY

Rightsizing your next home O

ne of today’s real estate trends is appropriately named “rightsizing.” This happens when an existing home owner wants to rightsize their housing needs in terms of space, upkeep and mortgage costs.

Typically, Empty Nesters or buyers in retirement are looking to rightsize, but this trend applies to anyone looking to buy their next home.One of the ways current students or even recent graduates can make themselves more attractive to prospective employers is to find the right internship. Internships are not always easy to get, and many of them don’t pay. But students who find the right internship often look back and recognize that their internship was their first step toward a rewarding career, and a step that provided valuable insight into their chosen field. To find the right internship, consider the following tips.

Whether you are interested in living in a traditional neighborhood or a master-planned community full of amenities, with these simple steps you will be able to find the rightsized home to fit your needs.

SPACE For the first time in many years, smaller homes have become much more dominant in the marketplace.

For many, the right fitting home is smaller than ever before. The assump-

tion is that only Empty Nesters or retired adults would welcome less space, but today’s families are discovering the appeal of smaller homes.

Less space means less to maintain inside and out, providing more time to enjoy the home and less time cleaning. Smaller homes also can help to rightsize costs, from the energy bill to the mortgage, which is always an attractive feature. Looking at the bigger picture, a smaller home carries a reduced carbon footprint and adds to the environmental appeal of such a decision.

UPKEEP For some, the most important home amenity is maintenance or the lack thereof. A home within a masterplanned community, for example, appeals to those who have reached a point in their lives where they want to spend less time taking care of a home and more time enjoying their home.

Generally designed to provide lowmaintenance properties, these communities allow for a lock-and-leave lifestyle, meaning if the homeowner wants to leave for a long weekend or an extended holiday, they simply lock their home and leave without needing to arrange to have the grass cut and watered, or snow shoveled from the sidewalk. Even if they aren’t traveling, these homeowners can also enjoy

being at home and not having those tasks on their to-do list, ever thanks to the maintenance provided by the Home Owner’s Association (HOA).

COST When looking for a home, cost is oftentimes the leading factor in any search. Cost varies greatly depending on the age and size of a home, the surrounding community and a number of other factors that figure into the value of a home. When looking for your next home, make sure to consider what matters most to you – style of home, amenities, walkability, etc. – knowing the rightsize cost will affect which elements are possible.

One way to rightsize your cost, yet still afford many of the community features you want, is to look in a neighborhood or master-planned community that offers multiple housing types. When a mixture of housing types is available – single-family, patio home or other style – it is much more reasonable to expect to find the rightsized mortgage to fit your financial needs. And, when you bring together home styles that appeal to everyone from young professionals and growing families, to Empty Nesters and active adults, a vibrant community is the result.

As you head out to find your next home, don’t think of it as fitting in

with the Jones’, but rightsizing with your needs. After all, the Jones’ won’t be living there, so you shouldn’t buy a home with their needs in mind. ■

Restaurant is bright addition to Lone Tree

200 sum

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Well before tasting the Mellow Mushroom’s food, the restaurant’s new Lone Tree building feeds its guests’ eyes with colorful, whimsical decor.

The visual appetizers start on Park Meadows Drive, where the orange-and-blue building — topped by a cartoon mushroom flashing a peace sign and tossing a pizza — greets visitors to the Entertainment District. A smiling, pizza-laden waiter sculpted in yellow and blue metal stands at the restaurant’s entrance. The sensory stimulus doesn’t let up inside, where a 1970s theme plays out in disco balls, color-splashed ceiling supports and wall murals on which butterflies, mushrooms and musicians appear to dreamily float.

“The decor is fabulous,” said Lone Tree resident Kim Lenihan, one of hundreds who dined there during the restaurant’s June 30 grand opening.

“Fantastic,” agreed Bob Lenihan.

“Groovy,” decided a man at the bar.

The new look is a far cry from any of the building’s previous tenants, which included the Blue Rox Grill, Hops, Kassai and Grazio. Franchise owners Sharon and Morris Purcel and their son Shane stripped the restaurant’s interior down to the shell, investing about $2 million to redesign the building to their standards. That included greatly expanding the patio with garage doors and in-floor heating to allow open-air or enclosed year-round dining, reconfiguring the kitchen and taking the building’s exterior from bland to brilliant.

“The design and colors reflect the fun that’s to be had inside,” Sharon Purcel said. “It’s family-oriented, and it’s also after-hours-oriented.”

Drink and food menu offerings carry on the quirky theme — with names like the Kosmic Karma, Mellowterranean and Thai Dye pizzas — but Purcel said the restaurant’s pizza is serious business.

“Our pizza crust is what makes it extremely special,” Purcel said. “Our specialty is the spring water and the molasses. It’s a very creative recipe.”

Educators go on working vacation 200 teachers attend summer science camp

By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com It’s summertime, time to be lounging by the pool, just like teachers Amanda Schmidt and Karen Stanfield. Well, maybe not just like them.

The two elementary school teachers were sitting on a concrete sidewalk June 24 next to a kiddie wading pool in 90s temps, and they were dressed in long pants. Not cool. Stanfield’s long shirtsleeves were pushed up for work. And their focus was on handfuls of nails and the sand-dollar-size boats they had just designed out of soft clay.

The idea was to see how many nails they could load on their boats before it sank. Ultimately, Schmidt prevailed with 16 nails to Stanfield’s 11.

They had taken the plunge, just like about 200 other Douglas County elementary teachers, to spend two summer days soaking up not sun but science camp at Castle Rock Elementary School — an opportunity that Jaime Bailey, a district assessment specialist for professional development, and others had organized.

Bailey said busy elementary teachers often focus on teaching life and earth sciences instead of physical science. The camp gave teachers opportunities to try physicalscience labs that take few supplies. The sec-

Castle Rock

Northridge Elementary sixth-grade teachers Lynn Carey, left, and Christine Kounkel were among 200 Douglas County elementary school teachers who recently spent two of their summer days at Castle Rock Elementary School learning labs and ways to better teach physical science. Photos by Virginia Grantier

Debbie Charleton, a fourth-grade teacher at Bear Canyon Elementary School, tries to create energy without the traditional battery, making an “enviro battery” using vinegar and other ingredients. She was learning the ins and outs of a new lab for her students.

ond day of camp, teachers then wrote lab lesson plans.

Eric Sonnentag, an eighth-grade teacher at Mesa Middle School, this day wearing a camp counselor shirt, said that for the camp, he redesigned labs he uses for ele-

done quickly and you can give kids a lot of control.”

Meadow View Elementary sixth-grade teacher Shanequa Baker was thrilled about all the teachers she had met and could connect with for additional resources.

Who wants to try out for ‘Millionaire’?

Men hoist some of the 100 poles required to support the big top tent for Cirque du Soleil’s newest production, “Amaluna.” Workers raised the tent July 2 on the Pepsi Center grounds as media and others looked on. The tent will seat 2,600 people and requires 550 pegs to hold it firmly in the ground. Photos by Deborah Grigsby

Cirque du Soleil presents

‘AmAluNA’ Show putS feminine twiSt on ‘tempeSt’

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com

T

he big tent is back at the Pepsi Center, which can mean only one thing: It’s time once again for Cirque du Soleil’s visit to Denver.

This year, the airy and colorful “contemporary circus” presents “Amaluna,” which means “love moon” in several languages and is the name of the island where the story is set.

The production is a feminine twist on Shakespeare’s “The Tempest.” Instead of the sorcerer Prospero, the audience will meet the sorceress Prospera.

She presides over an island governed by goddesses, guided by the cycles of the moon.

In this version, Prospera causes a storm that drives a group of young men to the island. Her daughter, Miranda, falls in love with one of them, and together they face myriad tribulations before living happily ever after.

Director Diane Paulus is intimately familiar with the subject matter, as her first production was a rock version of “The Tempest.” Similar projects have included “The Donkey Show”; a disco adaptation of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”; the 40th anniversary production of “Hair”; “Best of Both Worlds,” a gospel adaptation of “A Winter’s Tale”; and “The Karaoke Show,” an adaptation of “Comedy of Errors” set in a karaoke bar.

“Amaluna” features the exotic costumes, daring athletics and evocative set design that have come to define Cirque du Soleil since its inception in 1984.

Today, its 1,300 performers fascinate fans in simultaneous shows around the world, including a standing performance in Las Vegas.

“Amaluna” travels in 65 trailers carrying nearly 2,000 tons of equipment.

It takes eight days to set up the complete site, which includes the set, a kitchen and the 2,600-seat tent, which is climate-controlled.

The show runs July 18 through Aug. 25. Tickets are on sale now at cirquedusoleil.com.

Workers set up the familiar blue and yellow Cirque du Soleil big top as the Canadian entertainment company gets ready for its newest performance in Denver on the Pepsi Center grounds.

The entire set-up takes eight days and requires more than 60 men to assemble.

Who wants to be a millionaire? Now, you can be, as the syndicated game show will audition Denverites on July 12 at the Seawell Ballroom at the Denver Performing Arts Complex.

“Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” auditions will include a timed multiple choice test and, for those people who pass, an interview with one of the show’s producers.

Auditioners will be seen on a firstcome, first-served basis and producers will audition as many people as they can.

Participants must be at least 18 years of age, a U.S. resident and meet all eligibility requirements. Rules and times can be found on “Millionaire’s” website at www. millionairetv.com.

A new season of “Millionaire” will debut at 2 p.m. Sept. 2 on KMGH-Channel 7 with new host Cedric the Entertainer.

AvidGolfer reaches 100

Colorado AvidGolfer is celebrating a 100th milestone.

Not that the local magazine is becoming a centenarian — it still has a few years to go before hitting that drive — rather CAG is publishing its 100th issue with the July edition, on newsstands and online (www. coloradoavidgolfer.com) this week.

Editor Jon Rizzi realized a couple of months ago that the magazine was approaching its 100th edition.

“It’s been a really great run so far,” he said.

To celebrate CAG No. 100, the pages pay homage to past covers along with its current cover guy Billy Casper, whose company recently took over management of The Golf Club at Ravenna in Douglas County’s Waterton Canyon area.

Other big names whose mugs have graced the coveted CAG cover include: Todd Helton (first cover), John Elway (twice), Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Arnold Palmer, Jill McGill, Amelia Earhart (last month), Amy Van Dyken, John Lynch, Terrell Davis, Don Cheadle, Kevin Costner, David Duval, Tom Weiskopf and on and on.

But Rizzi doesn’t let the fairway grass grow under his feet. He’s set his sights on Broncos QB Peyton Manning for a future cover.

“He’s only been here for a year, so we’re still working on that,” Rizzi said.

After celebrating the biggest issue ever in 2006 just before The International held its last tournament at Castle Pines, CAG, along with the rest of the country, figuratively boarded up the windows to brace against the recession’s storm.

“We weathered the recession, which hit the golf business and publishing business very hard,” Rizzi said. “We kept our hand firmly on the tiller and navigated the waters. We pulled back from nine issues to eight issues a year, which made us a stronger publication.”

The Duke Street Kings’ 16th Annual Blues & BBQ for Better Housing Block Party — set for July 14 in Olde Town Arvada — has accepted the challenge to raise more than $25,000 as the Silver Sponsor of the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project that benefits Habitat for Humanity.

In addition to donating the money raised during the Blues & BBQ music festival, the Blues & BBQ for Better Housing Foundation will provide volunteers to help the former president build housing in Denver for those who are less fortunate.

The festival runs from noon to 8 p.m. and an all-day pass is just $10. Music will be performed on three stages and you can dine and drink on Colorado’s best barbecue and beer that includes 70 street vendors.

The past 15 years the festival has donated more than $80,000 to Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver. The Blues and BBQ for Better Housing Block Party is the Denver Habitat’s longest-running fundraiser.

‘Hairspray’ a dream show for local actress Evergreen company stages colorful play

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Twenty-year-old Bailey Walton plays Tracy Turnblad in what she describes as her dream show, ”Hairspray,” which runs from July 12 to Aug. 4 at the Evergreen Players’ Center/Stage.

She plays the pleasingly plump Baltimore teen who rushes home after school daily to watch the Corny Collins dance show on television, wishing she could be on it.

She says she worked in “Magic Moments” recently with percussionist Tad Worley, who told her about Evergreen’s auditions for “Hairspray.” She landed the part and rehearsals started May 19.

The year is 1962. Tracy lives with her large, shy mother and supportive father in

a small apartment where her mother takes in ironing.

When she does get a place on the show, she determines to integrate it, replacing the once a month “Negro Night.” Complications arise and Tracy becomes a leader, dethroning the reigning teen queen and capturing the affections of heartthrob Link Larkin — as well as being an accomplished dancer.

The colorful show has a good story line and many Walton big production numbers.

It opened on Broadway in August 2002 and played until January 2009, plus expanding to national tours and a London run. Music is by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Shaiman and Scott Wittman, with book by Mark O’Donnell and Thomas Meehan. It’s based on the film written and directed by John Waters.

Brenda Billings is director of “Hairspray”

If you Go “Hairspray” plays July 12 to Aug. 14 at Evergreen Players’ Center/Stage, 27608 Fireweed Drive, Evergreen. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays (no show July 13); 2 p.m. Sundays; extra show at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, July 14. Tickets: $15 to $25, 303-674-4934, evergreenplayers.org. and Alane Worley, who worked at Country Dinner Playhouse for many years, is choreographer. The company first rehearsed dance numbers at ATA, the local dance studio Worley and Paul Dwyer operate.

Bailey and her brother and father have performed often over the years at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center. Her first show was “Annie” in 2004.

She attended Cherry Creek High School for a year then completed an online high school course because she was working at the Arvada Center.

She became a nanny for Elizabeth and

AUGUST 8 - 11, 2013 DouglasCountyFairAndRodeo.com

Tim Welch’s daughter and lived in New York with them for six months. (Town Hall fans will remember the couple with operatic voices. Elizabeth landed a job with the touring company of “Phantom of the Opera” and is now working in the show New York, where Tim has opened a voice studio.)

At present, Walton teaches at a child development center during the day and has been teaching dance and acting for Christian Youth Theater, which she plans to resume.

In the fall, she will begin online classes at CU Denver in English, writing and child development, while continuing to teach.

And, of course, she’ll watch the audition notices in case another dream opportunity comes along.

Complicated theater schedules are a given in her family’s Centennial home. She mentioned that her dad will perform in Parker’s upcoming summer production of “Oklahoma” and brother Burke is cast in Boulder Dinner Theatre’s “The Full Monty.”

Golfers gear up for solheim

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Hitting drives off the tee, trying to reach the green with a fairway wood and constantly bending over to mark your ball on the green or grab the ball out of the cup can lead to back pain for golfers.

Bill Loeffler, a Castle Rock resident, is dealing with chronic back problems as he prepares to play in the U.S. Senior Open, which starts July 11 at Nebraska’s Omaha Country Club.

Loeffler, 56, earned a position in the U.S. Senior Open field when he carded a one-over-par 72 during a qualifying tournament June 17 on the West Course at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs.

He participated in the PGA Professional National Championships at Oregon’s Sunriver Resort during the last week of June

Match-play format has unique twist Some captains and potential players of the European Solheim Cup team recently visited and played the Colorado Golf Club during a week off in the LPGA and European Tour schedules.

The Solheim Cup, the women’s version of the Ryder Cup, pits 12 golfers from the United States against 12 European golfers and is scheduled Aug. 13-18 at the Colorado Golf Club in Parker.

Coaches and players met with the media July 2, and almost everyone delivered the same message that anything can happen in match play.

“In match play, anything can happen,” said assistant captain Annika Sorenstam.

“Some players feel they are representing their country and continent. They just soak it up and find another gear they might not find in other tournaments.

“It’s a putt here, it’s a shot here, it’s a match turned around.”

The Solheim Cup has a unique match play format.

Players will play fourball, in which each player plays their own ball throughout the round. Each hole is won by the two-women team whose player had the lowest score on the hole and the team is awarded a point. If the teams tie, a half-point is given to each team.

Foursomes pit two-player teams and the golfers hit alternate shots. A point is awarded each hole to the team with the lowest score.

In the 12 singles matches, all 24 players square off and golfers gain points or halves for each hole.

There will be 28 matches played over the three days of the tournament.

Four foursomes matches will be held Aug. 16 starting at 7:30 a.m., with four fourball matches set to begin at 1 p.m. On Aug. 17, foursome and fourball matches are scheduled for the same times.

The 12 singles matches begin at 12:30 p.m. Aug. 18.

There are 28 points up for grabs in the team standings over the three days, with a point awarded for each match won and half point garnered for each match that is tied.

Europe needs 14 points to retain the cup, which it won in 2011 in Meath, Ireland. The Americans would need 14.5 points to earn theirs seventh straight victory on U.S. soil.

Many purists argue that match play is

when his back problems flared up.

“My back gave out in Oregon and I’m just now recovering,” said Loeffler. “I’m hoping that I can be at least close to 100 percent health-wise for the Open. The heat should help, I hope. I really struggled in Oregon. I had a sinus infection and my back went out. I felt like I was 10,000 years old.

“It’s a chronic deal and it seems to be good for a while and then decides to turn the other way. I’m just hopeful than I don’t do anything stupid with it over the next few days. When you have a disc pressing on a nerve, your leg goes numb sometimes.”

Loeffler is anxious to see if his back will bother him and let him play well, since he will be competing against such well-known golfers as Fred Couples, Joey Sindelar, Hale Irwin, Tom Lehman and Bernhard Langer, to name a few.

“It’s an issue but it is certainly not an excuse because these guys are all seniors,” he continued. “Everyone has issues. It’s something you deal with and go forward and still play the best you can.

“The doctor said it’s not going to get any worse if I play. If I can stand the bending and twisting, then I can practice. And I’ve been practicing a little bit and got some tips from one of the local pros who has been helping me a little bit. I’m optimistic that I will be OK and do well. You just kind of have to do it and put the pain aside and say you’re here and a lot of people wish they were here, and just have fun and try to play good.”

Loeffler, president of Fairways and Greens Inc., which owns The Links Golf Course in Highlands Ranch, will be playing for the first time in the U.S. Senior Open, but he knows what it’s like to play in premier tournaments.

He won the 2007 senior PGA Professional National Championship, the 1992 PGA Assistant Professional Championship, the 1986 U.S. Mid-Amateur title and was a member of the 1987 U.S. Walker Cup team.

Loeffler, a member of the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame, is a three-time Colorado Open champ and the 2009 Colorado Open

Senior titlist. He has won several Colorado Golf Association tournaments.

“My preparation is not anything different than a state open or anything like that,” admitted Loeffler. “It (U.S. Senior Open) is a big-time event with the best players in the world. Freddie Couples and all those guys will be there. So it’s fun to get to play against that caliber of player and play on courses that are usually just immaculate.

“I don’t really set any goals. I don’t play in a lot of tournaments so I’m kind of just going there and feeling my way around and see if my game kind of fits the golf course.

Then if it does, I start thinking about what I can do and what are the possibilities.

Then you always have to say, `it’s one hole at a time’ and all that baloney, but it’s true that it’s hard to do because of the distractions and all the people there. All the tournaments that I usually play, there is not a lot of gallery, but it’s fun to hit some good

Solheim Cup course ready for action Players get in practice rounds ahead of August tournament

“They couldn’t have picked a better course as far as the volatility in the last four holes with two par fives that are potentially reachable and a par three,” said Dottie Pepper, Ladies Professional Golf Association legend and assistant captain of the U.S. team, during a visit to Parker in February. “Literally, anything can happen.”

Pepper should know. She was among the NBC Sports commentators covering the 2010 Senior PGA Championship, which came down to the wire and had Tom Lehman hoisting the trophy at the end of the weekend.

“I’ve heard a lot of good things about it,” he said. “I understand it’s a very old course. I have an affinity for playing courses that are 1920s vintage. They’re just a lot of fun. It’s Omaha in July, but I hear the city has really rallied around the tournament and it’s going to be very well attended.”

“It’s about finding the right partners you are playing with,” said Sorenstam.

“There are times you play with players and you try so hard but it always doesn’t fit.

“I can mention Suzann Pettersen. She’s a top player as an individual. She’s now No. 3 in the world. In the Solheim Cup she really rises to the top and she’s had some opportunities to make some winning putts.

She was my partner a few times and together she elevated my game and I elevated her game. That the challenge of the captains, to find the right combinations.”

Annika Sorenstam goes for the green during a chipping challenge with the media July 2 at the Colorado Golf Club. Photo by Chris Michlewicz pean team captain Liselotte Neumann said the course is perfect for match play. She commented on the challenging final stretch and is hopeful that, with the right conditions, some late par fives will be reachable in two shots.

When asked how she might prepare the team for a potential high-pressure finish, Neumann said if some of the women are unable to play a full 18, she will instruct them to concentrate on the back nine “so they can feel like they know the last couple of holes better than some of the others.”

To which European team assistant captain Annika Sorenstam interjected, to laughter: “How about getting the players to show up early so they don’t have to go down to the last few holes?”

Neumann said the entire course is “generous off the tees,” but the undulating greens vary greatly in size. She said a handful of players were staying in Parker a few extra days to get a feel for how the elevation might affect club distances, how the greens are rolling and what strategic bounces might come into play. Experience at the host venue will help the team members build confidence in their ability to play well there, she said.

The U.S. team will arrive early and practice on Aug. 12, the Monday of the tournament week, Pepper said.

“Whatever groundwork hasn’t been finished will be

absorb the fact his is playing in a major tournament.

“I feel very fortunate,” he said. “There were 100 guys for two spots in the qualifying at The Broadmoor, so the odds are against you. If you are lucky enough to get in, you had better go in with the attitude of you’re lucky to be here, enjoy it and like it.

“I played in the Senior PGA (2010) out at the Colo-

rado Golf Club. I had a lot of fun. I got to play a practice round with Couples, Jay Haas and Ben Crenshaw.

Playing with those guys every once in a while is a blast.

They are so good and they are so nice to put up with a club pro. Jay Haas gave me a short game lesson and that was nice of him. I actually played good. I think I was in third after the first day, hit a wall but made the cut.”

ready by then,” she said.

As always, the tournament is likely to come down to one or two shots, and Solheim Cup Tournament director Becky Newell said she expects that the final holes will make for a good finish. Because of the nature of the tournament, every shot counts and being prepared is a must.

“In match play, anything can happen. It’s a putt here and a shot here, it’s a match turning around, it’s just kind of a sequence,” Sorenstam said.

The European team has never won on U.S. soil, but the players are coming in with loads of confidence, having secured a convincing victory at the 2011 Solheim Cup in Ireland. Sorenstam says Team Europe has its “hands on the trophy as of now” and isn’t ready to let it go.
