By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com More than 150 Parker residents showed up for the Parker Planning Commission’s meeting to discuss the controversial Pawnee-Daniels 345kW power line project on June 30, and most of those who stayed until the end left town hall disappointed. The commission voted unanimously to recommend the town council approve Xcel Energy’s zoning application for use by

special review, which would allow Xcel to construct new power lines and monopoles along the corridor running through 5.4 miles of the town. The meeting began promptly at 7 p.m. and lasted almost until midnight. Presentations on behalf of the planning commission, the town’s legal department and Xcel went until 9:02 p.m., during which time 31 of the 61 citizens who signed up to speak left. Parker resident Bruce Cunningham was the last person to speak during the public comment period. “More than 50 percent of the citizens Project continues on Page 5

FACES AMONG US

HELLO

... My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community

KAREN SHAIN Florist with ﬂair ... and the Force Establishing an establishment I own Flowers on Mainstreet with my husband, Allen, and my daughter Hannah. We’ve owned the shop since New Year’s Eve 2014. The best part of it is that we have great designers who’ve won awards and recognition for their creativity. When we took over the shop there was a completely different staff. It’s taken us a little while, but now we have a really good team. The store has been here since 2004, so we’ve had to learn the procedures and work with clients to build the business up. I could not do this without the great team that I have. The community has been really supportive. Even though the shop had been here for 10 years, a lot of people didn’t know about us, so we started doing the Farmers’ Markets on Sundays and that really brought in a lot of new customers. Not as easy as it looks Putting a bouquet together actually is an art, it’s a skill. All of our artists have gone to school to train to be floral designers. It’s totally different from what you buy in a grocery store. We use fresh flowers every day. There’s a reason for everything that we do. We don’t just throw some flowers in a vase and put a price tag on it. I’m a certified balloon artist too. Not the twisting kind like a clown, I use them to decorate for parties and events. I trained in Kansas at a company that makes balloons, they have courses and tests you have to take before being approved. You can’t have a party without balloons.

Gratis expression of gratitude Karen Shain holds a summery bouquet in her shop on Mainstreet on June 17. Shain says her dedicated staff is a big reason her shop has been successful. Photo by Tom Skelley The Force is with her Flowers are my passion, so even when I’m at home I’m usually thinking about the shop. But I’m kind of like the cobbler that works on shoes all day and doesn’t have any nice shoes himself — I don’t garden or really have plants or flowers around the house. My husband loves to garden though, he does all of that. Allen and I have been married 37 years, we make it a point to get out and go to the movies every other week or so. I really liked the new “Star Wars” movie, mostly because I could relate to the story since I saw all of the other movies in the series way back in the beginning.

Villa Parker marks July 4 with military wedding By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Military discounts are the typical way businesses show appreciation for members of the armed forces, but a wedding venue in Parker has a more unique and patriotic approach. The Villa Parker wedding venue offers military discounts to every couple with a bride or groom in the service, but the venue’s owners, who remain anonymous, have one more distinct way to show their appreciation for military couples. Each year one couple is selected for a complimentary wedding package, valued at approximately $20,000. There’s only one string attached to the package. “They have to have the wedding on the Fourth,” Karen Schafer, director of sales and events at Villa Parker, said. “They do their own catering, and we arrange all of the vendors, the photographer, a photo booth, floral arrangements the cake, invitations and they get their own wedding coordinator.”

Schafer selects the couple each year from clients who have already approached the venue about having a wedding there. She said it isn’t difficult to choose the appropriate couple; usually they have chosen off-season weddings or dates during the work week to save money. “The right people always kind of fall into place,” Schafer said. “It’s really about kind of just knowing it’s the right couple.” Schafer said she checks out every client’s story, to make sure they are in the military and that they are deserving of the pricey gift. The right couple to receive this year’s package “fell into place” on New Year’s Eve. Michelle Post said Villa Parker was her first choice when she started looking for a place to marry fiancé Steven Lucas, but she didn’t get her hopes up. “This was our dream venue,” Post said. “When we talked about it … we weren’t in a place financially to do it so we both just kind of drooled over it.” Post toured Villa Parker in November while Lucas was on a drill weekend with Wedding continues on Page 11

PACE

always trying to add something new to make it ‘alive’ for our audiences.” Another goal Glassburn and Albrechtson have is to keep the PACE Center on the cutting edge, and they

try to bring in as many unusual and up-and-coming acts as they can fit in to reach that goal. One of the newer acts Albrechtson is especially excited about is Wonderbound, a performance group that combines dance, mentalism, music and illusion. Wonderbound will present three performances, “A Gothic Folktale,” “A Sangerous Liaison” and “Divisions,” which will feature everything from interactive illusions to a collaboration with local hip-hoppers The Flobots. Glassburn said she hopes the Uncharted Music Series will expand patrons’ horizons and give them the chance to be the first fans on some artists’ bandwagons. Featured in the series are Shel, a band of four Colorado sisters who are making their mark in the Nashville scene and The Hunts, an indie-inspired folk band of seven Virginia siblings. Another innovative show Glassburn points to is “Storytellers,” a performance of three longtime songwriters who will give the back stories of the songs they’ve written in addition to performing them. One of the men, Byron Hill, has written hits for George Strait and Johnny Lee. “You may not know Byron Hill’s name,” Glassburn said, “but you sure as heck know his songs.” According to Glassburn, artists are as excited to come to PACE as audiences are to see them. “The industry itself is changing,” she said, noting that smaller venues such as the Denver Botanic Gardens are also attracting national performers. “It’s not just the Pepsi Center anymore, it’s opened up new venues for them and they love being in a more intimate space.”

Initial feedback indicates PACE patrons approve of the new season’s lineup. Glassburn said more than $15,000 of tickets were sold during the announcement party alone. She added that individuals take her aside to let her know they feel lucky to have a resource for entertainment and culture close to home. “People appreciate the quality, the convenience and the affordability,” she said “We’re pretty proud of what we’ve accomplished in five short years.”

for the occasion. Officers also showed the children how to bait their lines and, true to the event’s name, how to use a bobber. Officer Brian Stilen said building relationships with children was as important for the department as teaching the children a skill they’ll be able to use for the rest of their lives. “It’s a good public interaction with

police officers and kids and it’s something they can do for the rest of the summer and years on,” he said. Colorado Parks and Wildlife donated fishing poles and Cabela’s also provided rods and tackle. Parker Parks and Recreation helped with the cost of stocking the pond. Participating children were allowed to take their rods, tackle and catches home.

A parent who came to the event said he wanted his son to get more out of the day than just a couple of trout. “I’m trying to figure out a way to teach the kids that police are good and that you need to go to them if you’re ever in trouble,” he said. “So coming to this seemed like a good idea so he could see police officers and see what they do and how they help out.”

After five years we feel we’ve established some trust in the community,” said Glassburn, the marketing manager for the PACE Center. The center announced its lineup for the 2016-17 season with a celebration on June 24, and a variety of popular national acts will join local and upand-coming artists to bring a variety of cultural experiences to patrons at the Parker venue. “I’d like to think that there’s something for everyone this season,” said Albrechtson, program director for PACE. National acts include country music mainstay Wynonna and the Big Noise, R&B veteran Peabo Bryson and Wayne Brady, a comedian who will perform for the center’s fifth anniversary show on Oct. 28. Glassburn and Albrechtson said they survey a cross-section of the community to get an accurate assessment of which acts to pursue. “Our goal is to talk to loyal patrons and those who may not even know about us yet,” Glassburn said. Survey results show the typical PACE customer is 35 with children, leading Albrechtson to bring in family-friendly shows like “Rock the Presidents” and “Beauty and the Beast.” But he added that audiences’ tastes evolve, and he takes that into account. The community “is a living entity as well,” he said. “What people wanted to see five years ago is different from what they want to see now … While we want to have some consistency there, we’re

who had a right to be heard have left,” he said as he voiced his disapproval of the plan. The plan would construct new poles alongside existing lattice towers along the right of way corridor owned by Xcel, stretching from the Pawnee substation near Brush, Colorado, to the Daniels Park substation in Castle Pines. The new poles and power lines would be closer to the edge of the corridor and to homes. The first person to speak was Brandon Dittman, an associate attorney with Kissinger and Fellman, P.C., retained by the town for legal counsel concerning the project. Dittman detailed considerations the town and the Public Utilities Commission are allowed by state law to consider when deciding to approve or deny plans such as Pawnee-Daniels. He said concerns over noise, electromagnetic fields or declining property values created by the lines are issues that cannot be considered by either the PUC or the planning commission, eliciting jeers from many in the hall. Tom Ghidossi spoke next, representing Exponential Engineering Company, retained by the town to consult on the structural demands of the project. He said the proposed power lines would conform to PUC standards regarding noise and electromagnetic fields. Ghidossi also said building new towers for the lines would be less expensive and provide a more reliable power supply than burying the lines, a suggestion made by many of the townspeople who later spoke. Xcel representative Derek Holscher told the commission that the new lines would provide benefits to the town in the form of a stronger power grid that would support the growth of office, retail and residential development in Parker. He added that an independent appraiser concluded there would be no impact on property values for homes along the corridor, to which someone in the hall shouted “will that come in writing?” Senior planner Patrick Mulready outlined a study of impacts of the project. Two of the biggest impacts cited were the segmentation of neighborhoods by the power lines and the visual impact and blight the new poles would create. Mulready then laid out the mitigation plan negotiated by the town and Xcel, which would provide for the connection of three trails currently separated by the corridor and the completion of the Auburn Hills Community Park. The plan would also allow 371 homeowners along the corridor to apply for reimbursement for up to $500 for landscaping their property. Many residents who spoke disagreed with Holscher’s testimony that property values wouldn’t decrease, and others criticized the mitigation plan for not suf-

ficiently addressing the appearance of the towers. Terry Dodd, a Parker resident and real estate agent, urged the commission to consider citizens’ objections to the plan. “Your job is to protect the rights of the people,” he said. Dodd went on to say he has watched clients walk away from homes in proximity to power lines, and he said the mitigation plan didn’t amount to a “fraction of the life, liberty and happiness” homeowners near the corridor would lose. Community Development Director John Fussa said after the meeting that the mitigation plan was the best the town could do, considering the conditions the state doesn’t allow the town to consider. “The proposal has towers that are going to be 100 to 150 feet in height,” he said “It’s not really possible to screen the towers.” He added that the condition allowing for landscaping reimbursement would allow homeowners to purchase trees to minimize the blight from their property. Fussa also said the connection of Auburn Hills Park and the connection of trails along the corridor would alleviate the bifurcation of the town somewhat. “We attempted to strike a balance and impose reasonable conditions that had a reasonable relationship to this project and that were supportable and defensible under the law,” he said. “I would certainly acknowledge it’s hard to craft conditions that really make all the impacts go away.” Planning commission chair Gary Poole acknowledged that many of the residents who spoke felt the town should “make a statement” by opposing the plan, even if the PUC could ultimately overrule their objections. Voicing his consent for the plan as a group of residents walked out, he asked a rhetorical question. “What’s the purpose of making a statement if nobody listens?” he asked, The zoning application was to go before the town council on July 5 for possible final approval.

The rise of Sterling Ranch

July 8, 2016

At buildout, community will have 12,000 homes and 33,000 residents living in neighborhoods with the latest in technology By Alex DeWind adewind@colorado communitymedia.com

bout two years ago, Harold and Diane Smethills and about 20 congregants from Valley View Christian Church walked up a grassy hill in the rolling landscape near Roxborough in northwest Douglas County. They joined hands and began to pray. For the land. For the well-being of neighboring communities — Roxborough, Littleton, Highlands Ranch. For the residents of Sterling Ranch, the community that would rise from the land around them. “We prayed that it would be a wonderful place to live,” Diane said, “filled with wonderful families.” Sterling Ranch has been the Smethillses’ dream for 12 years: A $4.4 billion multigenerational, eco-conscious development of 12,000 homes on 3,400 acres with schools, churches, shopping, recreation and the latest in technology to make life easier and keep pace with the demands of a rapidly changing world. Said Harold: “We are building a community for people who aren’t born yet.” A modern community On a morning earlier this summer, the Smethillses sat in their Highlands Ranch office, on the second floor of the sandstone building near Lucent Bouleveard and C-470. Graphics, maps and floor plans of Sterling Ranch covered the walls around them. Next month, after years of planning and dreaming, the first homes are scheduled to break ground. The journey has been invigorating, exciting, challenging, but overall, an ever-changing creation. “Our initial vision hasn’t changed,” Diane said. “It’s expanded to include so many areas we didn’t dream of 12 years ago.” The development sits west of Santa Fe Drive and south of Chatfield Reservoir, just east of the Roxborough community and next to Roxborough State Park. Pastures, dirt roads and a small enclave of homes and horse corrals surround the vast open space. It is seven miles southwest of Highlands Ranch, 15 miles northwest of Castle Rock and about 20 miles south of Denver. Construction of the development’s backbone — its water and electrical infrastructures — started about a year ago. The first model homes are expected to break ground this August in one of eight villages, which along with a focus on water and energy conservation is a core concept in the Smethillses’ emphasis on creating an environmentally aware, neighborly community. The first village, called Providence, will have nearly 800 single-family homes, 85 acres of open space, one school, a church, a civic center, a recreation center and a fiber optic network that can transfer more data at faster speeds. The plan is to minimize impact on the land, Diane said,

with dense neighborhoods surrounded by open space. Woven among the villages are 30 miles of walking, biking and horseback riding trails “fueled by Harold’s love of the equestrian life.” After a 20-year buildout, Sterling Ranch is expected to have about 12,000 homes with 33,000 people, five elementary schools, a middle school, a high school, 2 million square feet of commercial space and three neighborhood parks. This type of mixed-use development isn’t uncommon in Colorado, economic development experts say. The Denver metro area has several similar master developments, including the 125-acre Bradburn Village in Westminster; Reunion, a Shea Homes development with nearly 1,600 acres of residential development and more than 900 acres of commercial development in Commerce City; Stapleton, a 4,100-acre mixed-use community redeveloped from an international airport; and Candelas, a 1,500acre community in Arvada. The mix of housing, commercial and retail space essentially creates a mini-community within a larger community, said Tom Clark, CEO of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp., an affiliate of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce. But the difference with Sterling Ranch, Clark said, is its magnitude — one of the largest in recent history — and the people behind it. “The thing that makes Sterling Ranch interesting to me,” he said, “is this incredible focus on energy and water management done by a couple from Colorado.” A boon for business Although a small group of homeowners concerned about adequate water supply and the impact on their rural, tranquil life tried unsuccessfully to stop Sterling Ranch, business leaders are excited about its potential economic boon to the area. The Northwest Douglas County Economic Development Corp., a nonprofit organization that works to attract and retain area businesses, projects Sterling Ranch will create a 9,000 jobs of all varieties, including commercial, construction, retail and primary employers. Building of the development itself will generate several thousands of construction-related jobs per year. Its projected economic impact to the region is $411 million. “As a resident of the region,” said Amy Sherman, the corporation’s president, “I am excited for the new amenities — everything from boutiques to swimming pools, to restaurants and shops. It’s going to bring a lot of new jobs to the area.” The development also will provide quality housing for the diversity of companies in the south metro area — such as Lockheed Martin and Charles Schwab — and the growth that Dish and Comcast are experiencing, said Jeff Wasden, president of the Colorado Business Roundtable, a branch of the business policy advocacy organization based out of Washington, D.C. “As we continue to attract great businesses to Colorado,” he said, “the type of housing that a

Construction begins for the 1.5 million-gallon water tank that will supply about 12,000 homes in Sterling Ranch, the 3,400-acre, mixed-use development west of Sante Fe Drive in southwest Doulgas County. “Our water conservation will be leading in the state,” said managing director Harold Smethills. Photos by Alex DeWind development like Sterling Ranch affords is critical to companies’ growth and ability to innovate and stay competitive.” Bumps in the road The vision for Sterling Ranch took root in 2004 when the Smethillses purchased the development from Joy and Frank Burns. They are only the third family to own the land since the Civil War. Over the past 12 years, the Sterling Ranch development team has held more than 450 neighborhood meetings, collaborated with dozens of organizations on environmental and living standards — and fought an ongoing legal challenge against a neighboring community association. In 2011, the development drew opposition from residents of Chatfield, a small community of 65 people that sits near the development’s northwest border. The Chatfield Community Association filed a lawsuit against Douglas County’s approval of Sterling Ranch, arguing the project did not have proof of a sufficient water supply for the entire project. Homeowners also worried about a detrimental impact on their rural way of life. Although Douglas County District Court ruled in their favor in 2012, that decision was reversed in 2014. Judge Richard Caschette said state law did not require developers to show water adequacy for an entire development up front. Instead, it could demonstrate it in phases throughout the process. Still, Chatfield Community Association vice president Dennis Larratt said he feels let down, in particular by the county, which has approved Sterling Ranch’s proposals throughout the process. Despite the Smethillses’ assertions to build an innovative community that reflects Colorado’s heritage, Larratt worries about funding, water, traffic and compatibility with surrounding communities. “It’s going to change things,” said Larratt, who enjoys the rural, friendly life of his Sunshine Acres community bordered by Chatfield State Park and the High Line Canal. “The amount of offsite improvements is virtually non-existent.” The Smethillses, however, say they have always kept issues of

From left, Brock, Diane and Harold Smethills stand in front of several Sterling Ranch plans in their Highlands Ranch office. “In all candor,” Diane said of the development, “we were inspired by our two millenial sons.”

MEET THE SMETHILLSES Harold and Diane Smethills, both 68, were both born and raised in Colorado. Harold grew up in Wheat Ridge and Diane in Denver. Diane has a degree in journalism and took her first job at ABC Studios in New York City. She then moved to Denver and worked for a Dallas-based real estate company called Trammel Crow Co.. Harold has an MBA and law degree from University of Denver. He’s held executive positions in several large corporations, includ-

water, energy and quality of life at the forefront of their planning. “Our water conservation will be leading in the state,” Harold said. In 2010, the Colorado Water Conservation Board selected Sterling Ranch for the state’s first rainwater harvesting project. A storm management system will collect rainwater from commercial buildings and street gutters. The water will be stored in tanks and retention ponds. Rainwater will be used for about 40 percent of outdoor irrigation, Harold said. Striving to be a good neighbor The Smethillses also have worked closely with One Roxborough, an organization that includes residents and representa-

ing United Banks of Colorado, Adolph Coors Co. and American Business Products. Harold and Diane met over a real estate deal in Denver about 30 years ago. After they were married, Diane was a stay-at-home mother to their two sons, whom she calls “a great gift.” Harold continued to run companies. “Why retire?” he said. “This is more fun — creating something.”

tives from businesses and county and state agencies in Roxborough, an unincorporated Douglas County community just west of Sterling Ranch. It has about 9,100 people, a small shopping center and two schools. Through their discussions, One Roxborough and Sterling Ranch agreed to share outdoor trails and recreation centers, meaning any community member can access the trails on the once-private Sterling Ranch. “Finally,” Diane said, “the fences will come down.” Ed Yeats, co-chair of One Roxborough, is expecting Sterling Ranch to help business in Roxborough thrive.

traffic and road safety. One of two main routes in and out of Roxborough is the two-lane West Titan Road coming from Santa Fe Drive, which turns into Rampart Range and runs along the Sterling Ranch development. “There are going to be some challenges with traffic,” Yeats said. “The county has to keep an eye on those challenges on our behalf out here.” Although Douglas County works diligently to provide safe routes through construction zones, county officials said some delays will be unavoidable. To limit impact, the majority of construction traffic for Sterling Ranch will use an internal construction road off Roxborough Park Road, south of Titan Road, the county said. “Construction traffic turning off and onto Titan Road at Roxborough Park Road will continue to be monitored throughout,” said Wendy Holmes, director of public affairs for Douglas County, “and when warranted, improvements at that intersection will be required to be constructed by Sterling Ranch.” Quality of life For the Smethillses, the vision for Sterling Ranch was greatly influenced by family — their two millennial sons, who inspired them to focus on building an eco-friendly community with state-ofthe-art technology embraced by today’s generation. Their sons, Brock, 25, and Ross, 28, studied at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee. Brock is now chief operating officer of Sterling Ranch and works closely with his parents. “There’re two components to Sterling Ranch,” Brock said. “The nature of your day and the nature of your surroundings.” That means incorporating what the family has determined to be key components to quality living — education, health, lifestyle, safety, energy, technol-

Setting a path for education By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com David Paul and Caleb Hausman, undergraduates at Vanderbilt University, spent three weeks in Douglas County this summer interviewing some 120 community members about what education will look like in Sterling Ranch in 20 years. “People are really passionate about education in this area,” said Hausman, a senior studying public policy with a focus on education policy. “We will ultimately make recommendations for Sterling Ranch.” Their interviews, which included people from Douglas County School District, Douglas County Libraries, civic organizations and businesses will be transcribed by professionals and given to Eve Rifkin and Kristen Baese, doctoral students at Vanderbilt’s Peabody College of Education, which was ranked the fifth-best education school in 2016 by ogy and water. Much of what makes up the last three, the Smethillses believe, sets their development apart. Among their requirements: Builders will offer LED lighting, wildlife-friendly landscaping and solar system packages for homes. Painters must use low-chemical paints, carpets and adhesives. Water usage in toilets, faucets, showerheads and washing machines will be regulated. Homes and businesses will be interconnected with the ease of a virtual touch-screen that controls technology and energy usage. Streets will have LED lighting with advanced security functionality for individual residences and the community as a whole. In the evening, the Smethills said, streetlights will dim so residents can see the stars.

U.S. News and World Report. At the end of their capstone projects, a two-semester independent research project due in May 2017, the doctoral students will turn in dissertations and develop a set of proposals for Sterling Ranch, which has plans for five elementaries, one middle school and one high school. At buildout in 20 years, the development is projected to have 12,000 homes and 33,000 residents. “It’s an opportunity to take what I’ve learned as a school person and use it in a more systematic way,” said Rifkin, director of College and Career Readiness at City High School in Tucson, Arizona. “We can really start from scratch. There are no limitations.” Vanderbilt chose Sterling Ranch as one of 17 cross-disciplinary projects funded through a $50 million TransInstitutional Programs initiative. The university’s chancellor, Nicholas S. Zeppos, introduced the program in 2014 to support collaboration between colleges

and hands-on research. Brock Smethills, chief operating officer for Sterling Ranch and a Vanderbilt graduate, suggested the partnership. “Sterling Ranch is the beneficiary of innovative and comprehensive ideas about sustainability and education,” Smethills said. “And, in return, Vanderbilt’s students make a real impact on a real project in real time. That is a rare opportunity for any university.” The university selected undergraduate and graduate students from the College of Arts and Sciences, Peabody College and the School of Engineering to focus on sustainability and education in Sterling Ranch. “It’s a rare opportunity to bring students in, at every level, to help generations to come,” said Dr. Claire Smrekar, associate professor of Education & Public Policy at Vanderbilt and director of the education initiative at Sterling Ranch. “It represents an incredible opportunity to make a difference.”

COMING SOON Sterling Ranch’s eight villages and one town center will be built over the next 20 years. The first village, Providence, is expected to break ground this August. The other villages do not have specific time ranges to release. Providence will consist of 800 single-family homes, 85 acres of open space, one school, a church, a civic center, a recreation center and a state-of-the-art fiber optic network. But everything comes back to what they prayed for on that hilltop two years ago, the couple said, a community where people know each other and care about each other and where they live. So, homes will be close together with no cul-de-sacs. Front porches will face side streets. A civic center will provide

There are seven builders signed: Brookﬁeld Residential, CalAtlantic Homes, Lennar, Meritage Homes, Richmond American Homes, Parkwood Homes and Wonderland Homes. There will be four architectural styles of homes, including ranch, farmhouse, Victorian and contemporary. Starting prices will range from the lower $400,000s to the mid$600,000s. a gathering place. And a variety of housing styles will attract residents of all ages and backgrounds, from single parents to millennial families to grandparents. “For a high quality of life,” Harold said, “knowing your neighbors is important.”

Goats graze a greener way to fire mitigation Hungry animals clear 14 acres in Castle Pines By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Residents in the Pine Ridge neighborhood of Castle Pines have found a greener, more unconventional solution to fire mitigation. A herd of 300 goats was released into the community June 15 to graze14 acres in the high-risk area until June 29. This is the second year the community has used goats as a means of fire mitigation, a plan it will continue for three more years. “Research shows after that after five treatments, the mitigation’s long lasting in an oak ecosystem,” said Einar Jensen, risk reduction specialist for South Metro Fire Rescue. “Research shows that with a single year’s treatment, the oak rebounds quickly. But after five, the oak is cut by 80 percent and that’s good for wildfire mitigation.” When goats graze in the oak ecosystem, they remove lower leaves and branches, making trees less likely to catch fire. Traditional fire mitigation uses mechanized masticators, such as a Bobcat tractor with a grinding blade. But Jensen, who is in charge of fire mitigation for South Metro, said that method treads and tears up soil, which creates conditions vulnerable to noxious weeds. Another challenge with this method is the smell of diesel fumes and the sound of diesel engines. Another option is to do it by hand with handsaws and chainsaws, which is extremely labor intensive. “The goats are a green solution to mitigation, so to me it seems like a better solution,” Jensen said, adding that Roxburough Park and communities in the mountains have used goats for several years. Wyoming, Montana, Utah and California also use goats for fire mitigation. “They are not used as much as should be, in my opinion,” Jenson said.

This is the second year goats have been used in Castle Pines for fire mitigation. Courtesy photo The innovative mitigation project in Castle Pines was paid for by PineRidge Home Owners Association residents, the city of Castle Pines and a $1,000 grant South Metro Fire Rescue received from the national Ready, Set, Go! Campaign. The cost of the project was about $15,000, with a rate of $1,000 per day for the herd and start-up fees.

Although he isn’t aware of any other communities in the Front Range using goats this year, Jensen said he has been contacted by two other communities in Castle Pines and others in the district who are interested in utilizing the herd in future years. “This could be the start of something big,” Jensen said.

Even though Colorado has seen a period of wetter and cooler climate, any day with hot temperatures and low humidity means wildfire danger goes up, Jensen said. Residents can help fire mitigation efforts in their community by hosting collection days and working together to create neighborhood mitigation plans.

The school district budget

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

New spending The district has $14.1 million available in new money. This includes about $7.6 million of new revenue from the Colorado School Finance Act — which includes a rise in per-pupil funds — with the remainder coming from savings from the 2015-16 school year. Of the new money available, $9 million will be spent on a 3 percent average pay increase for district employees, including retirement and Medicare for employees, $1.6 million on PERA (retirement savings) rate increases, $1.4 million on special education and $500,000 on classroom technology updates.

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com

The Douglas County School District approved a 2016-17 budget with general fund revenues of $673.94 million and budgeted expenditures of $630.62 million. The budget was approved by the

Per-pupil revenue up The per-pupil revenue the district will receive from the state rose $112 to $7,163. The statewide average revenue per student is $7,425. District Chief Financial Officer Bonnie Betz said the increase is specific to Douglas County and it just happens to match the state average per-pupil increase this year. The number of students in the district for 2016-17 is projected to be 66,855. The official amount the district will receive under the school finance act will not be finalized until after the October student count.

One-time money, capital needs The district expects to have $6 million available for one-time expenses. Planned projects are: • $3.2 million for a districtwide classroom technology update • $750,000 for the upgrade and maintenance of InspirEd, a professional development and evaluation system • $1 million for school innovation and growth • $1 million for general facility needs

NEWS IN A HURRY Free Call-N-Ride service returns The Town of Parker and RTD will provide free Call-N-Ride service in Parker this summer. The program will run from July 1 to Aug. 31 within the Parker service area. Call-N-Ride is a personalized bus service that provides curb-to-curb service on a first-come, first-served basis. Riders can schedule a ride via ParkerOnline.org/ Call-N-Ride or via phone at 303-301-5772. Rides may be scheduled from a minimum of two hours and a maximum of up to two weeks in advance. The town reinstated the program for the first time since the summer of 2013 to increase ridership rates in an effort to retain the Call-N-Ride service. By increasing ridership, the town could also potentially seek expanded transit services for the Parker community in the future. The Call-N-Ride service operates Monday through Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. The service area is north of Hess Road and east of Twenty Mile Road. Ride areas and destinations include downtown, Parker Adventist Hospital, Cottonwood, Canterberry, Idyllwilde and many other neighborhoods and commercial areas. E-470 widening closures extended Varying lane closures on Cottonwood

school board on June 9. All Colorado school districts are required to submit budgets by June 30, according to the Colorado Department of Education. The new school year began July 1, with students returning to classrooms in mid-August.

Money for the unexpected DCSD has $5 million in contingency funds available to address unexpected and emergency needs, such as a breakdown in a school’s heating system. This money is budgeted each year and if it goes unspent, carries over to the next fiscal year, when it is available to be spent on new projects or to address needs.

The ﬁnal ﬁgures The district’s final revenue numbers will not be known for several months. “The reason is, in the state of Colorado, there is what is called a 60-day encumbrance period which allows school districts to collect their final property tax revenues through Aug. 20. We won’t know how much specific ownership tax we will receive until the end of August,” Betz said. District officials say they have been conservative in their projections and that any additional money they receive would potentially be available to be spent on district needs and projects.

Vision boards help track personal goals Last week we talked about the power of words and their ability to build up a person, provide us with hope and encouragement, or — when used inappropriately — they can be so powerfully destructive. This week I would like to build upon that and add in the power of visualization, specifically the power of a vision board. One of the things that inspires me and encourages me personally is when I visit a client or friend and they have a visible vision board somewhere on display at their home or office. A vision board is some kind of display that captures all of the things that you want to see happen or materialize in your future. It could be your immediate future, maybe it’s something that can happen in the next few months or a year, and maybe even several years out. It’s finding pictures, images, quotes or sayings that are part of your life plan, goals, and as stated, part of your vision for yourself. These are so very powerful for individuals, families and companies as they keep those goals and dreams in a very visible place and where others can build upon the vision board as well as align the goals and dreams of the family or organization. And for individuals who use a vision board, it becomes an accountability partner as you pursue your

own dreams and goals. I have seen some of the most amazing pictures and images hanging on corkboards, whiteboards and modified picture frames, and as collages on the walls of offices, hallways and family rooms. New homes, property, new Michael Norton cars, family reunions, a business idea, words WINNING of encouragement, WORDS specific numbers associated with days or dollars, mountains, oceans, hotels, graduation images, retirement images, romantic pictures of couples, proud pictures of children and friends, and plenty of photos of accomplishments of every sort. We become what we focus on. And just like in last week’s column where we talked about focusing on the good and powerfully positive words of hope and encouragement, let’s remember that as we focus on specific pictures or images of success that we can and do become that which we focus our at-

tention upon. Maybe you have heard this concept before, or maybe you have even used a vision board in the past and have gotten away from updating it or pursuing some of those dreams that at one time held a special place in your heart and mind. It’s never too late to either revisit that vision board and update it or completely scrap it and start all over. As the world has changed, maybe your goals and dreams have shifted too. And with access to almost any image in the world, it’s easy to find a photo, or painting, or picture, or image of what it is you wish to be, do, or have now and in your future. So do you have a vision board displayed prominently somewhere within your home or office? If so, what occupies the spaces on your board? What are the images and quotes and sayings that inspire you? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can visualize what we want to be, do, and have, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

There’s really DESPERATION no place you can go that is entirely risk-free. Not even a church. Some of us put ourselves in harm’s way intentionally. “Four deaths in four days on Mount Everest,” the headline said. Did you really think that Steve Irwin was going to get out of here alive?

When it comes to taking chances, daredevilry, or being an adventurer, I am a DeSoto on blocks. Not walking out the front door can be dangerous too. Jesse James in the next apartment might clean his gun unsafely. Some people understandably have lived in fear, minute after minute. Those interned in Nazi concentration camps, for example.

Becoming a landlord an option for older adults Many older adults are still living in the home where they raised families. Those homes are now too big for the one or two people that may still be living there. Many in this position are also not ready to move to something smaller, such as a condo, townDonna Foerster home or apartment, or LIVING AND to an independent or assisted living comAGING WELL munity for seniors. This is when some might consider becoming a landlord or roommate. Their reasons might be financially motivated; a renter or roommate would help to cover housing costs. Another reason might be loneliness; the senior doesn’t want to live alone. Yet another reason could be that the house is too much to maintain. When making the decision to have a tenant or a roommate there are many things to consider. • Are you renting the whole house, or part of the house?

• Will the room(s) be furnished? • Are you going to live there too? • Do you need to make any change to your home to make it suitable for a roommate or tenant (e.g., a separate entrance)? • Are you going to share common areas such as the kitchen, or will your tenant have a private space with a private entrance? • Are utilities included in the rent? Three of the most common scenarios are: 1. Roommate only 2. Roommate in exchange for services and a reduced rent 3. Tenant Someone who is just a roommate has his or her own space, generally a private bedroom and bathroom, and shares common areas of the house, particularly the kitchen. The second scenario is similar; however this roommate may also take care of the lawn maintenance, shovel the driveway and sidewalks in the winter, do general home care such as changing light bulbs and run errands in exchange for a reduced rent or rent credit.

Commissioners turn down block-grant money Board requests work session to look for alternative funding By Shanna Fortier sfortier@colorado communitymedia.com The Douglas County Housing Partnership has used federal Community Development Block Grant funding to offer downpayment assistance for first-time home buyers and help provide affordable senior housing. In 2015, the multi-jurisdictional housing authority — which connects businesses and local and county government to address the issue of the lack of affordable housing for people who work in the area — received $310,000, the largest individual CDBG grant in the county, for its supportive housing program.

decline all CDBG funding in 2016, Diane Leavesley, executive director of the partnership, said the program will be severely limited and some aspects are uncertain. “Beyond 2015 funds we will only be able to continue this program with money from when a family repays their loan,” Leavesley said. “No new money will be coming in.” In 2015, Douglas County received $1 million in CDBG funding, which was disbursed to nonprofits, governmental and quasi-governmental agencies to improve the physical, economic and social conditions for low- and moderate-income residents or assist in low-income areas. Other local organizations that fund programs through CDBG dollars are the Douglas/Elbert Task Force, the Parker Task Force, Sedalia Water & Sanitation District and DC Cares. Of the 22 applications received for the 2016 grant program, Douglas County staff recommended approval of 15 projects with a total distribution of $732,365. But these projects will

In the last scenario, the tenant has “an apartment” within the house with a separate entrance, bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette and living room. Regardless of the living arrangement, the “landlord” and tenant/roommate should have agreement regarding rent to be collected and due date. Kory J. Cook, an associate attorney with Tschetter Hamrick Sulzer P.C., recommends: “Any agreement reached should be down in writing and should cover all aspects of what the parties are agreeing to.” Mr. Cook also states that “it would be best if these kinds of agreements were on a month-to-month basis that would automatically renew until one party gave their notice to terminate the lease.” How long should the agreement be and what should it include? Well, that depends.

We are much more trusting when we are younger. Children trust their parents, their teachers, their guardians and their clergy, but, unfortunately, that sometimes goes very awry. Someone said that danger is real, but fear is a choice. I used to be afraid of the dentist. I had a good reason to be afraid of the dentist. I inherited some significant dental woes prior to the invention of novocaine (procaine). Mama mia. In the past 18 months I have had a root canal, two extractions, an implant, and two crowns. Thanks to a great dentist, there was very little procedural discomfort, and practically no pain afterwards. Further, my dentist employs 19 women, all of them are very professional, and by gum, very attractive. They laugh at my jokes. So what was once a nightmare, is now the exact opposite. However, it is not without its costs.

no longer be funded by federal dollars. Citing concerns with pending federal Department of Housing and Urban Development rules tied to the CDBG program, the commissioners voted to end a 13year run as a CDBG entitlement community effective with the 2016 program year. The county, however, is looking for alternative funding. The decision comes after years of fighting for congressional action in Washington as well as meeting with and submitting formal comments to HUD regarding what the Board of County Commissioners refers to as “unreasonable, unachievable, ill-conceived rules attached to CDBG funding.” “For years, we’ve been ﬁghting alongside like-minded members of our Colorado congressional delegation, as well as other members of Congress nationwide on this overreach by the federal government,” said county commissioner and board chairman David Weaver. “We articulated our concerns directly with HUD officials, fought to be heard on

the record and as part of congressional testimony, and could not change the course.” Douglas County is not the first community to leave the grant program. Last Aug. 18, the Town of Castle Rock was given the option to become its own entitlement community separate from Douglas County. The town had the option to receive $212,000 of its own CDBG funding to distribute to Castle Rock residents, but because of concerns with the new HUD regulations and what it considered possible federal overreach, the Castle Rock Town Council declined to participate in the 2016 program. The county sent a letter to HUD on Aug. 17, one day before the Castle Rock decision, identifying concerns with the new tool. The hope was that improvements and adjustments to the tool could be made, said Terence Quinn, director of community development for Douglas County, at a previous county meeting. “This federal agency is practically reinterpreting and changing

the intent of the Fair Housing Act,” stated Commissioner Jill Repella at the June 28 meeting. “I have significant concern with the new assessment tool that is in play right now. We need to continue to work with our congressional delegation and fight this battle,” Recognizing the impact of the board’s decision on applicants for the CDBG funds, Repella offered a motion requesting a work session with staff aimed at evaluating grant applicants’ 2016 CDBG funding requests and exploring alternative funding approaches. “This county has been very proactive and creative in partnering with community organizations consistent with furthering our community services board goal,” Repella said. The board goal that Repella is referring to requires that the county ensure conditions exist so that county programs and public/ private partnerships foster an effective safety net for the basic needs of qualified residents, and that basic and essential services exist that provide people the opportunity to be self-sufficient.

willing to get married on Monday, July 4. “I called Steven and asked him if he wanted to get married on the Fourth and he said ‘heck yeah,’” Post said, “then Karen told us” about the package. Schafer made the formal offer to the happy couple on Dec. 31, after confirming the offer with Villa Parker’s owners, verifying the details of Lucas’ service and shoring up vendors. Lucas said he was excited, but as a member of the National Guard who per-

forms duties approximately two to three months a year, he was wary about taking the offer away from someone on active duty. “It was a lot of excitement, but I wanted them to understand that I’m in the National Guard,” Lucas said. “There’s guys that do this all day, every day. I didn’t want to take it away from one of those soldiers.” Lucas’ military status wasn’t a concern for Schafer or the venue’s owners, who were happy to thank Lucas, and Post,

for the sacrifices he makes to serve his country. Post said she made personalized gifts for vendors to show appreciation for their services, but she doesn’t believe it will fully convey her and Lucas’ gratitude. “There’s nothing of monetary value that can say ‘thank you’ enough,” she said. “All of a sudden we were able to get married at the venue we wanted, in July, with fireworks. It was just more than we could have ever imagined.”

What is important to the landlord? Rent and due date have already been mentioned. Other items might include: • Security deposit • The space that is to be the renter’s/ roommate’s “premises” (e.g., the basement apartment with private entrance or the upstairs bedroom with attached bath at the front of the house) • Pet policy and pet deposit • Smoking • Guest policy • Quiet time • Parking arrangement Prior to entering into a written agreement, be sure to check for possible local zoning regulations or HOA (homeowners’ association) restrictions that might prohibit your proposed living arrangement. Homeowners have a variety of reasons for wanting a roommate or a tenant. They need to decide for themselves if their reasons warrant action. Once the decision is made to become a landlord, the best protection is a month-to-month, written

agreement between the parties. Potential landlords with questions or concerns about the process should seek legal counsel BEFORE entering into a lease.

There are men and women who get in the ring and beat the stuffing out of each other. Beats me why they do it. I have never been interested in speed. My own, or watching someone else go fast.

There is a family that I have never comprehended. The Flying Wallendas are a high-wire act that performs without a safety net.

Toys and sports open doors to faith Mission outreach uses nontraditional ways to spread word of the Gospel By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Among believers, the Great Commission is the call from Jesus to his followers to take his teachings around the world. And that’s what Global Connection International — a nonprofit Christian organization— works to do through its various outreach programs in 15 countries around the world. “The Bible tells us Jesus instructed us to help meet people’s physical needs, but the ultimate instruction was to also bring the message of the saving grace of the Gospel to the people,” said Jim Weber, president of the Greenwood Village-based organization. “Our organization’s focus is connecting people who care with the opportunity to provide humanitarian assistance in Jesus name.” Global Connections International is one of many philanthropical and faith-based organizations that work to spread Christianity in a variety of ways. Some typical projects involve providing sources of clean, safe drinking water, building community structures or teaching modern agricultural methods. But sometimes, organizations seek to spread Christianity through nontraditional ways such as providing sports equipment or simple toys — such as wooden cars — that provide an outlet and joy often taken for granted in daily life. A sports connection In Global Connection International’s work, the organization meets with local leaders to determine the needs, Weber said, then looks for “the manpower and resources to help develop long-term sustainable solutions to promote social, economic and spiritual growth.” Projects take on many forms, from traditional outreach such as building construction to soccer camps, musical concerts to providing baseball equipment to children. Global Connection International did just that in 2004, in Cuba, and is continuing that program in partnership with Lakewood-based Casa Unida Foundation to public schools in northern Nicaragua. That particular outreach has great potential, Weber said. Casa Unida members have worked on a variety of projects in Nicaragua including building classrooms and churches, bringing clean drinking water to villages and distributing school supplies. Bringing baseball equipment to schools as a Christian outreach began in 2015. “The baseball equipment outreach began small,” said Bob Moore, Casa Unida Foundation president. “Last year, we learned the public schools in Nicaragua receive no money for sports or physical education equipment. One school asked our help and Englewood High School donated a few gloves to the project and we took them to the school last year.” The joy on the faces of faculty and students led the foundation to continue the project. Members gathered financial donations and donations of used equipment, which they delivered to four schools in February. “We told them the reason we were bringing them the equipment was that Jesus loves them and so do we,” said Moore, who lives in Lakewood. “We were a little surprised when, at each of location, the leaders said the equipment was such a blessing to the student and the school that they gathered everyone around and said a prayer thanking God for the blessings.” Now, with the help of the Global Connection International contacts that could include Major League Baseball, Casa Unida is looking to expand the equipment deliveries to many of the schools in the northern Nicaragua area.

Toy cars bring joy Wooden toy cars have also become a huge Christian outreach to children and their families. The toy car project Marlin Dorhut began when he saw the joy wooden cars brought children of poor families in late 2000. He was moved to establish Toys for God’s Kids. Today, hundreds of volunteers — called smile-makers — build the cars and distribute them to children in about 140 countries. “Those who go on mission trips love them because making children happy frequently opens the door to taking their message to the parents,” Dorhut said. Casa Unida Foundation representatives also frequently gather toy cars from a number of smile-makers and distribute them to children in northern Nicaragua. On one trip, the cars were given to third-graders an elementary school. Luce Espinoza, mother of one of the third-graders, said through an interpreter the toy car was a wonderful gift. She asked a member of the foundation to tell her about the cars. Moore told her about the cars and told her about the Gospel. One boy tried to return the car when the day was over but, when told the car was his to keep, started crying because he said it was the first toy he had ever owned. The original pattern was for toy cars about 6 inches long. But Bob Wing, who worked on state-of-the-art equipment at IBM, and his neighbor Jerry Corbo,

Roberto Espinoza, athletic director for a 4,000-student high school in northern Nicaragua, talks about the blessing the gift of sports equipment is to the students and the school. Casa Unida Foundation, a Lakewood-based organization, delivered the equipment as part of the foundation’s Christian outreach to bring the Gospel to the people of northern Nicaragua. Photo by Tom Munds a retired rocket scientist, and his wife, Leonora, are among the volunteer “smilemakers” producing “pocket cars” that are only a couple inches long. “I saw a news report about Toys for God’s Kids and, when I checked it out, I decided since I had all the equipment in my workshop, I wanted to build the cars, too,” the Centennial resident said. “I started out just cutting out the car bodies. Then I got the patterns for the whole cars.” The operation runs like a well-oiled machine. Wing operates the saw and sanders to create one of 11 vehicle patterns out of donated wood, cutting out the wheels and preparing the axles. The Corbos then attach the wheels to the axles and the axles to the cars. The final stage is dipping the car into a solution to preserve the wood and using a tool to burn the wood with a USA license plate and the Toys for God’s Kids logo on the bottom of the car. Corbo and his wife have seen what the cars mean first-hand. “We went on a trip and took cars with us to an orphanage,” he said. “The look on the faces of the children as we handed out the cars touched our hearts. It was such a wonderful feeling to see the joy these little cars brought to those children.”

July 8, 2016

The best albums you might’ve missed so far We’re at the halfway mark of 2016, and it has already proven to be one of the most surprising years for music in recent memory. In the first six months we’ve heard long-awaited releases from Beyoncé, Kanye West, Rihanna and David Bowie, and been surprised by offerings from Radiohead and Kendrick Lamar. Musicians like The 1975, Ariana Grande and M83 all finally emerged from the studio with different takes on the pop landscape. So much interesting music means it’s easy to miss some top-notch stuff. So, instead of doing a regular “best-of-theyear-so-far list,” I decided to look at some lesser-known works — music that doesn’t get much radio play, but represents the best of the year. My only selection criteria was the albums had to be released in the past six months, and none could be featured in my “Clarke’s album of the week” selections. BJ The Chicago Kid — “In My Mind” It’s entirely fitting that Bryan Sledge (better known as BJ The Chicago Kid) released his major-label debut on Motown Records, since Sledge is one of the best contemporary examples of why soul is an ageless genre. The album features classic Motown vibes on songs like “Turnin’ Me Up,” adds some hip-hop with Kendrick Lamar and Big K.R.I.T. on “The New Cupid” and “The Resume,” and taps into gospel on “Shine.” In short, there’s a flavor for every palate.

name Car Seat Headrest, is one of those enormously talented artists that the world may not have ever heard if not for the internet. He’s been recording for four years and posting albums online, and his label debut displays a Clarke Reader razor-sharp indie LINER pop sensibility. Toledo joins NOTES musicians like Bob Dylan, Tom Waits and Conor Oberst, all with untraditional voices boosted by novelistic songwriting. The sheer amount of observations packed into these songs is astounding, made all the better by the fact that the music rocks. “Teens of Denial” sounds like the first step of a talent with limitless potential. Diarrhea Planet — “Turn to Gold” One of the oddest band names in recent memory, Diarrhea Planet’s “Turn to Gold” is a no-frills, no-filler rock record. These guys tap into the guitar rock of Bruce Springsteen, The Replacements and T. Rex and in the process create one of the best albums for blasting out of car windows. The lyrics are, at times, clever and heartfelt, and simple enough to shout. After all, that’s how rock music started.

James Blake — “The Colour in Anything” James Blake works in grays. He has a voice not dissimilar to Sam Cooke’s, but Blake takes his soul leanings and runs them through synths and electronic music, instead of gospel or funk. The result is music that can be icy and skeletal at times, but is the perfect match to Blake’s ghostly vocals. “The Colour in Anything” is Blake’s best album yet, perfect headphone music for cloudy days or nights in. Like a glacier, it moves slow, but makes an indelible mark on the listener.

dvsn — “Sept. 5th” Some music just sounds better in the dark. The duo of Paul Jefferies and Daniel Daley, who record under the name dvsn, make just that kind of music. Almost all the songs on “Sept. 5th” are R&B slow jams, with beats that skitter and buzz like neon lights. Together, the tracks create layers of atmosphere, not unlike the work of The Weeknd. And just like him, dvsn seem obsessed with the deeds of the dark. With this album, they’ve made a soundtrack for the rest of us.

Car Seat Headrest — “Teens of Denial” Will Toledo, who records under the

The Hotelier — “Goodness” You probably have never heard of

BEST SONGS OF 2016 (SO FAR) 1. “Juke Jam” feat. Justin Bieber & Towkio “Coloring Book” - Chance The Rapper

5. “Two Deliverances” - “Goodness” - The Hotelier

2. “Wolves” feat. Vic Mensa and Sia - “The Life of Pablo” - Kanye West

6. “Open Casket” - “Standards” - Into It. Over It.

3. “In Bloom” - “A Sailor’s Guide to Earth” Sturgill Simpson

8. “Love Me Like That” feat. Carley Rae Jepsen “55” - The Knocks

4. “Paris” - “I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it” - The 1975

9. “All Night” - “Lemonade” - Beyoncé

Massachusetts-based The Hotelier, but that should change immediately, because they’ve made the best rock album of the year-so-far. “Goodness” is a relationship record, and on its 13 songs track a relationship from the sunny early days to bittersweet ending. There are hooks layered into hooks in the songs, and each song manages to sound familiar, even though you’re hearing it for the first time. But it’s the warmth of the lyrics and musical tones that make it something special. Into It. Over It. — “Standards” There is never a shortage of albums about hitting a milestone age and trying to find one’s footing. Evan Weiss, who makes music under the name Into It. Over It., adds to that canon by tackling entrance into his 30s with humor and grace. Weiss is a keen observer of both those around him, and his own personal growth. You can hear it in lyrics from album opener “Open Casket” - “My friends from where I’m from are all a wreck” to “And then there’s me, as always, just a mess/Just like always, I’m just a mess.” Instantly relatable, and honestly said. And that’s just the first song. Pinegrove — “Cardinal” Is the music of Pinegrove punk? Is it folk rock? Some kind of alt-country? Yes, yes and yes. One of the most unique albums of the year is a note-perfect example of musical alchemy done right. By so effortlessly blending folk-style acoustics guitar with modern sensibilities, songwriter Evan

7. “Miyazaki” - “Ology” - Gallant

10. “Hiding In The Melody” - “Pennied Days” Night Moves

Stephens Hall has made music that can be embraced by all. It’s one of the most generous musical gestures of the year. Pity Sex — “White Hot Moon” Another ridiculous band name, but don’t let the silliness cause you to ignore one of the year’s best rock albums. The Michigan-based group makes music the same way my bloody valentine and The Cure did — with lots of reverb and fuzzy guitars. But what makes “White Hot Moon” so special is the beauty the courses through the music. The album is awash in romance, and is home to several contenders for best song to end a high school dance. Corinne Bailey Rae — “The Heart Speaks in Whispers” We were given the year’s best autumnal album in the spring, but Corinne Bailey’s Rae third album sounds heavenly all the time. In the vein of Marvin Gaye, Rae blends jazz and soul together and creates moments of startling warmth and loveliness. “Do You Ever Think of Me?” could easily have come from the era of Sarah Vaughn, and “Been to the Moon” is one of the year’s best love songs. Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he was definitely a teen of denial.

Rand Study shows strong pattern of success…

Immersion Students Outperform Peers

Considering a language immersion program for your child? Many questions arise when enrolling a child in a language immersion program. Some parents fear that their child will fall behind in English, math and other subjects. Not so, according to a recent in-depth study conducted by the Rand Corporation, American Councils

for International Education and Portland Public Schools. The 4 year study, conducted in Portland immersion schools, found that immersion students outperformed their peers in English. It also found no detriment in math and science performance. In fifth grade, the students were ahead of non-immersion students by 5 months and by 8th grade they were outperforming by 9 months. In the article, Top Ten Answers for Parents about Immersion Education, from Carla (Center for Advanced Research in Language Acquisition), it points out additional cognitive benefits including mental flexibility & increased communication skills.

Tuition-free full day Kindergarten at GVA Global Village Academy continues its commitment to a stronger education by providing Free Full Day Kindergarten for all students at the Parker location. Parents of incoming Kindergarten students choose between Spanish, Mandarin or French as a language track for their child. Fifty percent of their child’s day is taught in the target language and the other half of the day in English. “Global Village Academy has offered free, full-day kindergarten for many years

because we are committed to educational equity. Children learn in English half of the day, and in a second world language the other half of the day. Without a full-day program, there would not be adequate time for children to learn in two languages”, shares Kirk Loadman Copeland, President of the Global Village Charter Collaborative Eligible children must be five years of age by October 1, 2016. Limited spots are still available for the 2016-17 school year.

Rosetta Stone Licenses Available to All Students and Parents at Global Village Academy All GVA students now have round-theclock access to Rosetta Stone in their target language of Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, French, or German. This additional resource for use both in the classroom and at home, allows students to continue to build their oral proficiency and pronunciation, along with fun games and activities focused on reinforcing the core skills learned in the classroom. The program will also support more than 1,000 English Language Learners (ELLs) at GVA who have access to the English program, in addition to the child’s second language.

“Rosetta Stone is a powerful supplemental tool for the classroom and home that will enrich our language immersion program for students,” said Kirk Loadman-Copeland, President of Global Village Charter Collaborative. “What an added benefit it is for our students who are hungry for language learning to have this resource available to help continue to hone the skills they’re learning in the classroom while they’re at home, or on the go with their mobile devices. It’s a natural enhancement for our program and illustrates our commitment to language acquisition for all of our students.”

By bringing Rosetta Stone into the classroom, immersion teachers now have a daily ability to measure language proficiency gains as opposed to the previous annual testing measurement at the end of each school year. This will help educators assess each student’s progress on a regular basis and enable them to create a more personalized learning path based on areas where they’re excelling and areas where they need more assistance and focus. Parents also have a new opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of what their children are learning through Rosetta Stone as GVA is making licenses to the program

available to all parents through a special offer. “The anywhere-anytime access to Rosetta Stone provides a great new dimension to our language immersion program,” said Terry Gogerty, Chief Development Officer Global Village Academies. “We’re especially excited about the opportunity this partnership will offer the parents of our students. Global Village parents are always seeking new ways to help support their children’s learning and this provides an excellent opportunity for parents to actively participate and encourage additional language learning.”

Renowned guitarist coming to Lone Tree Marchionda has appeared at top venues around nation

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two organizations committed to the importance of arts in child development will co-sponsor an internationally famous guitarist in concert. “An Evening with Stephen Marchionda” is scheduled at 8 p.m. July 16 at the Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree, a benefit for St. Luke’s Performing Arts Academy and Lone Tree Arts Center’s children’s programming in the next season. The internationally recognized musician will perform “La Guitarra Poetica,” Spanish music by Domenico Scarlatti, Isaac Albeniz and Enrique Granados, and other selections. He has appeared at Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, Aspen Music Festival and numerous museums and conservatories and is known as a strong advocate of contemporary music. The concert will benefit St. Luke’s yearround Performing Arts Academy program as well as Lone Tree Arts Center’s active children’s programming. St. Luke’s Performing Arts Academy will also be offering classes in musical theater and technical theater at the church and at Littleton High School this summer and during the 2016-2017 school year. St. Luke’s launched an outreach in 2014 to children in low-income communities and will expand a previous immersive two-week session of voice, dance and acting at East Elementary School in Littleton into a six-week fall musical intensive for children in grades 2 to 5 who wish to gain experience in musical theater, in collaboration with Littleton Public Schools. The intensive will culminate in a performance

IF YOU GO Guitarist Stephen Marchionda will perform at Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree, at 8 p.m. July 18. Tickets cost $30-$55, 720-509-1000, lonetreeartscenter.org. of “The Lion King KIDS” for families and community in the second week of October. “We selected `Lion King KIDS’ because of its suitability for an age range and varied skill levels of the students,” said PAA director James Ramsey of St. Luke’s, writing that mastery of the show will support the student’s sense of accomplishment. There will be after-school instruction with a team of qualified artists and teachers and support from technical experts and volunteers in a variety of theatrical areas. “The intensive will include ensemble community time for sharing values and deepening friendships,” Ramsey said. “Each child will receive snacks, a CD, a script and commemorative show T-shirt.” He anticipates the majority of students will be eligible for PAA financial aid scholarships of up to $275 each, using free lunch eligibility and other household economic factors as criteria. “With an anticipated 40 kids in the program, influence will extend to more than 200 family members, friends and school staff who support their children as volunteers, educators and appreciative audiences, “ Ramsey adds, saying PAA develops relationships with service clubs, businesses, foundations and individuals for various donations, including time. We will hope to notify readers of performance dates and times in the fall, as well as ongoing children’s programming at Lone Tree Arts Center.

Youth coaches target safety Clinic promotes proper blocking and tackling techniques in order to prevent concussions By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Football has been sacked the past few years because of the growing concern about concussions and injuries.

So, a group of 40 youth football coaches huddled up at the Pat Bowlen Fieldhouse at UCHealth Training Center, near Centennial, on June 25 for the USA Football Heads Up Football Player Safety Coaches Clinic. “The game is under attack, especially at the youth level,” said Steve Shore, a coach for the Englewood Pirates in the Jeffco Midget Football Association. “The injuries are a concern of the parents, and is the game worth it compared to the injury level?

“This clinic is crucial because to save the game, we have to come up with better ways to coach these kids and keep them safer.” Greg Miller, a Northglenn High school graduate, assistant varsity football coach at Legacy and USA Football master trainer, conducted the four-hour clinic. The topics discussed were concussion recognition and response and Clinic continues on Page 23

Volleyball team offers glimpse of future CHSAA doesn’t sanction sport that is gaining more notice By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com

Ric Miranda grew up playing volleyball and coaching in Santa Monica, California, and when he and his family moved to Highlands Ranch in 2005, he had no idea there was no high school boys volleyball being played in the state. Girls volleyball on the high school and club level is popular in Colorado and has pushed boys volleyball under the radar. Volleyball is a Colorado High School Activities Association-sanctioned sport for girls, but attempts to have boys volleyball certified by the CHSAA have been unproductive because of Title IX regulations and other obstacles. There is a boys high school league, the Colorado Boys High School Volleyball Association, which has two divisions and 30 mostly coop teams from 22 schools.

Colorado Momentum U16 boys volleyball coach Ric Miranda, left, talks with players Brandt DeJager, center, and Rey Sanchez after a practice on June 28 at the Momentum practice facility in Centennial. Miranda’s team will be competing in the USA Boys Junior National Volleyball Championships July 1-4 in Dallas. Photo by Jim Benton Miranda, however, is coaching the Colorado Momentum U16 boys team that competed for the club division title in the USA Boys Junior National Volleyball Championships in Dallas from July 1-4 (after press time).

“When I moved here I thought there was boys volleyball,” recalled Miranda. “I had been coaching for over 25 years so I just focused on what I had been doing and that was coaching girls volleyball. “I’m trying to get the

word out that, hey, there is boys volleyball. I’m going to try to grow it within our region. I have a bunch of boys who love to play the game. They want to elevate their game to go up to the next Volleyball continues on Page 23

It’s time to catch up on some notes from around the area, and it will be strange next season at Chaparral wrestling matches not to see Rod Padilla shouting instructions to Wolverines wrestlers while sitting on the Wolverines’ bench. Padilla, Chaparral’s wrestling coach for the past 15 seasons, has accepted the job as athletic director at Aurora Hinkley, and Wolverines athletic director Rob Johnson is looking for a new head wrestling coach. In more news about athletic directors, Pat McCabe has moved from Jim Benton Mountain Vista to OVERTIME assume the AD duties at Arapahoe High School. McCabe was AD at Vista for six years. Shawn Terry was busy last week setting up his new office as the Mountain Vista athletic director. He was AD at Northridge High School in Greeley last year. McCabe takes over for Steve Sisler at Arapahoe. Barela advances to National Amateur tourney Griffin Barela, a senior-to-be at Lakewood High School, took medalist honors June 27 during the 36-hole U.S. Junior Amateur Qualifying tournament held at Heritage at Westmoor in Westminster. He was one of three golfers to qualify for the National Junior Amateur that will be held July 18-23 at The Honors Course in Ooltewah, Tennessee, which is located north of Chattanooga. Barela fashioned rounds of 72 and 69 for a 3-under-par total of 141 to finish one stroke ahead of Trevor Olkowski of Grand Junction, who combined rounds of 70 and 72 for a 142 total. Runchanapong Youprayong of Thailand was third and earned a ticket to the national tournament with a 144 tworound total. China-bound to play football Jimmy Pallotto, a Cherry Creek offensive lineman who has signed to play at Western State, was named to the U.S. Federation Under-19 National Team that will play in the 2016 International Federation of American Football Under-19 World Championship games. Games began on June 30 in Habrin, China. The team was selected by USA Football and features many of the top studentathletes in the U.S.

Ekhoff Kicking Camp set High school punters, kickers and long snappers will take part in the 4th Annual Nate Ekhoff Kicking Camp, which will be held July 9 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Sports Authority Stadium. All funds from the camp and tailgate party will help support the Nate Ekhoff Kicking Scholarship Fund, which has raised $18,000 to help 12 high school kicking specialists attend college. Ekhoff was a kicker for Ponderosa High School and was diagnosed with leukemia shortly after his senior season. He died from bone marrow transplant complications 15 months later. All coaches volunteer their time at the clinic. Donation items for the drawing/raffle and silent auction are needed for the tailgate party, which will be held between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Information is available at www.nateekhoff.org.

proper helmet and shoulder pad fitting. Videos were available to reinforce proper tackling and blocking mechanics, focusing on reduced helmet contact. According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, the chances of a youth football athlete suffering a concussion over the course of one season are 75 percent. And 62 percent of the major impacts in youth football occur during practice and not in games. In March, USA Football released the results of a study conducted by the Physical Activity Council for participation of athletes between the ages of 6 and 14.

level of college play. For them to do that they have to continuing playing and the only way to do that is in a club format, because in Colorado boys volleyball doesn’t really exist.” Miranda, whose daughter Gabbi plays soccer at UCLA after helping Mountain Vista win two state championships and whose son Aiden is a sophomore baseball player at Vista, will be coaching nine boys in Dallas who come from nine different schools. Players on his team come from Ralston Valley, Skyview Academy, Legend, Arapahoe, Cherry Creek, Grandview, Eaglecrest, Weld Central and Vanguard. There are no boys club team leagues, so other than youth tournaments, the Momentum U16 team has to play against men’s adult teams. Miranda’s team is ranked 29th among U16 teams in the country and was seeded fifth in the national tournament. This same team of nine boys won

There was an increase of 1.9 percent from 2,128 million participants in 2014 to 2,169 million in 2015. But there has been a drop in participation from 3 million in 2010, according to the USA Football study. Miller has seen a change in blocking and tackling techniques because of the increased attention on injuries. “It absolutely has to start at the youth level,” he said. “It’s great to see it spreading to the upper level of college and pros, but to really get a chance we have to start at the youth level. We really need to teach better fundamentals for tackling and blocking. “It has changed for the better. There is more awareness about injuries. It was something that was there years and years ago but we just weren’t as aware of it as we are today...” Changing improper tackling and

the U14 and U15 national titles the past two years while playing for Front Range Volleyball. The team felt a lack of club support and moved to Momentum this season, and Miranda took over coaching and watching the team’s elite training sessions. “They came to us last summer to try to enhance their level of performance and get a better club structure. We gave them the program and said this is what we’ve got. Momentum said, ‘Ric, you are the only one that played men’s volleyball, do want to take them?’ “Sounded like it should be fun, they had won the national twice in a row, so this should be pretty good. It turned out to be right. The pressure has been on me knowing that these kids were pretty good. It’s been incredibly challenging but fun at the same time.” Rey Sanchez, a setter who is a juniorto-be at Ralston Valley, played football, basketball and baseball before high school, but volleyball has become a year-round sport. “It’s a fun sport to go out there and play,” he said. “My family has played it. Ever since I was little I grew up with it. Most of the volleyball girls know I play

“

The game is under attack, especially at the youth level. The injuries are a concern of the parents, and is the game worth it compared to the injury level? This clinic is crucial because to save the game, we have to come up with better ways to coach these kids and keep them safer.”

Steve Shore, Jeffco Midget Football Association coach

blocking basics for some players, especially more experienced ones, can be a challenge. “It’s not that it easy to change,” Miller said. ”You have to be aware of

the change that needs to happen. When coaches see a player that maybe doesn’t have the proper fundamentals, we have to be aware of that and really work with that player.”

volleyball because I help the girls team. So talk goes around and a lot of people know at school that I play. “Boys volleyball is not as popular as the girls. It’s not a CHSAA-sanctioned sport yet. I think we are going to do really, really good in Dallas.” Brandt DeJager, a middle blocker who will be a junior this fall at SkyView Academy, understands that boys volleyball isn’t established in Colorado but hopes another national title will help bring some attention to boys volleyball. “We’re definitely under the radar,” he said. “We just started a high school program. I’m hoping we can grow the program as much as we can. I don’t think anybody really knows about us but they will.

“We just came to Momentum this year. The past few years we were at Front Range. We decided to slip over here. We’re close enough that we should be able to get the job done and play well in Dallas. We have been playing well.” Miranda knows it will be tough for his inherited team to win a third straight national title. “We want to win it all again,” he said. “With a bigger field it is going to be a little more challenging. I’ve always thought the best way to approach a tournament is to hold your seed or beat your seed. “We are seeded fifth and that would be OK but I would rather medal. I would rather come in at least third. We’re going to go for it and try to win it.”

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You love to talk, but don’t forget to make time to do a little more listening; otherwise, you could miss out on an important message someone might be trying to send to you. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your aspect indicates some uncertainty about one of your goals. Use this period of shifting attitudes to reassess what you really want and what you’re ready to do to get it. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your social life is picking up, and you’ll soon be mingling with old friends and making new ones. But ‘twixt the fun times, stay on top of changing workplace conditions. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A trusted friend offers understanding as you vent some long-pent-up feelings. Now, move on from there and start making the changes you’ve put off all this time.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) That project you’ve been working on is almost ready for presentation. But you still need some information from a colleague before you can consider it done. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Don’t let those negative attitudes that have sprung up around you drain your energies. Shrug them off, and move ahead with the confidence that you can get the job done. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Aspects favor some dedicated fun time for the hardworking Piscean. A nice, refreshing plunge into the social swim can recharge your physical and emotional batteries. BORN THIS WEEK: You love to travel and be with people.

Farce is a lot of fun but a little too loud ‘No Sex Please’ takes place in 1970s Britain

IF YOU GO “No Sex Please, We’re British!” plays through Aug. 13 in repertory with the thriller “Night Watch,” which includes Littleton’s Linda Suttle and Margie Lamb in the cast as well as the versatile Haley Johnson. Performances of both alternate at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. One needs to look closely at what is playing when. The John Hand Theater is at 7653 E. First Place, Denver (Lowry). Tickets for both plays cost $12-$22, 720-530-4596, thisisspotlight.com
