Cherry Creek Schools board chides state lawmakers Unanimous resolution seeks restored funding
The legislature’s implementation of the ‘negative factor’ leaves Colorado education funding at 42nd in the country.
O
By Peter Jones ne month after Cherry Creek Schools Superintendent Dr. Harry Bull fired off a politically charged letter about school budget cuts to parents, the district’s Board of Education has officially joined the crusade. Last week, the school board unanimously OK’d a resolution calling on state lawmakers and Gov. John Hickenlooper to “immediately eliminate the negative factor cuts in K-12 education funding” and to end the imposition of unfunded mandates on school districts. The resolution comes four months after the failure of Amendment 66, a voter initiative that would have infused Colorado’s school system with $950 million. The declaration approved March 10 accuses the Colorado General Assembly of flouting a 2000 voter-approved state constitutional amendment that proponents said would reverse a decade’s worth of education budget cuts. “In contravention of this expressed will of Colorado voters, the legislature’s implementation of the negative factor leaves Colorado education funding at 42nd in the country, more than $2,500 below the national average in per-pupil funding,” the resolution reads in part. Education-funding proponents have opposed the legislature’s so-

called “negative factor,” a legal work-around that has been used to cut about $1 billion from school budgets despite provisions of the voter-approved Amendment 23. Many opponents of 23 said the measure did not account for periods of falling revenues and thus forced the legislature to make cuts in other important programs while funding PERA, the Public Employees’ Retirement Association.
In any case, the legislature effectively lowered its obligation to 23’s per-pupil rate by excluding such district-specific factors as size, cost of living, personnel expenses and number of at-risk students, reducing the per-pupil calculation to the base rate, critics argued. “Without the implementation of the negative factor, the schoolfinance formula would have provided [Cherry Creek Schools]
with an additional $47,379,814 in the 2011-2012 school year, an additional $61,966,641 in the 20122013 school year, and with an additional $61,432,260 in the 20132014 school year,” the board’s resolution says. As a result, the board said it has done the following: • Asked taxpayers for a $25 million property-tax increase • Cut 148 instructional positions, resulting in increased class sizes and less one-on-one instruction • Reduced the teacher compensation schedule by $2.5 million • Eliminated 104 educational support positions • Reduced instruction supply costs by $1.1 million The board’s resolution goes on to criticize the legislature’s enactment of unfunded mandates, effectively adding insult to injury, the board infers. “Since state revenues are increasing and the legislature has discussed the replenishing of cash
funds, the legislature must make it a priority to return to a sensible and constitutional system of school finance, consistent with the mandate of Amendment 23,” the board’s resolution concludes. The March resolution follows Bull’s sharply worded letter last month encouraging Cherry Creek parents to take such issues to their representatives at the state Capitol. Bull and other superintendents from across Colorado have banded together – in what one has called an “insurrection” – to ask the legislature to allocate $275 million of recurring funds to schools, plus a separate increase proposed by the governor. “We ask that you call your state legislators and tell them that your neighborhood schools belong to you,” Bull wrote to parents. “Let them know that we, and they, have a moral obligation to provide adequate resources so that each child has access to the best possible educational opportunities we can provide.”
Centennial, Littleton score in national surveys Cities make mark in pay equity and sociability
By Peter Jones Six is the lucky number for two south metro cities that have made the grade in income equality and friendliness, respectively. Centennial ranks as the sixth most “equal” among large communities in the United States when it comes to household income, while Littleton is “golden” when it comes to sociability, as the nation’s sixth friendliest small city. According to consumer-trends website NerdWallet, Centennial’s above-average income equality was in comparison to more than 300 surveyed cities that have populations of at least 100,000.
A graphic from NerdWallet lists Centennial as the sixth greatest city for income parity.
[Centennial’s official population is little more than 100,000.] NerdWallet compared and contrasted the median household incomes
of those cities’ top and bottom 20 percent. The data came in the context of the growing politics of income
disparity. Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has called the income gap the most Continued on page 4

Deb Lawler is South Metro Fire Rescue “Staff Employee of the Year”
Capt. Jon Adams is South Metro “Firefighter of the Year”
Adams named ‘Firefighter of the Year’ A firefighter who has responded to some of the nation’s biggest tragedies was named “Firefighter of the Year” for 2013 at the South Metro Fire Rescue Authority’s Employee Recognition event on March 8. Capt. Jon Adams began his career at Castlewood in 1997. He works in the Training Bureau, where he teaches new and existing firefighters. He also serves as a safety officer, a role that places him at many dangerous incident scenes. Those high-risk incidents are nothing new for Adams, who experienced firsthand the aftermath of 9/11, Hurricane Katrina and floods and wildfires around Colorado.
One nomination read, “Jon has been a go-getter for his entire career and is never shy to step in and take on extra duties when necessary.” Adams works closely with the South Metro Firefighters Foundation for which he organizes a successful charity golf tournament that benefits families of fallen firefighters. The International Association of Professional Firefighters, Local 2164 also recognized HR benefits specialist Deb Lawler as “Staff Employee of the Year.” Lawler has been with Parker Fire District for 13 years. “Deb treats her South Metro family like her own and takes the time to work through every

Several employees were awarded the Certificate of Merit, which recognizes employees that carry out their assigned or voluntary duties in a superior or noteworthy manner. Only three employees were honored with the Distinguished Service award that is given to recognize a specific occurrence of outstanding service or to recognize superior service over a period of time. The prestigious Medal of Honor was presented to three employees whose actions directly affected the outcome in a lifethreatening situation.

By Peter Jones If candidate Jack Tate’s name sounds familiar, it is likely from last November’s ballot for Centennial City Council. Although Tate lost his first run for office, the experience has not swayed him from taking another shot. “It kind of proved to me that I could do the work. Politics is a lot harder work than I realized. I thought maybe there’s an opportunity for me if I get involved at an earlier point,” he said. “A long time ago, I was a graduate student in political science in a galaxy far, far away. I’ve always had an interest in government, the theory of government and how interests are expressed.” This time, Tate is seeking the Republican nomination to represent District 37 in the Colorado House of Representatives, a seat that has been held by term-limited Rep. Spencer Swalm, R-Centennial, since 2007. Tate, a mechanical engineer, believes his business experience coupled with his background in construction management would suit him well in a place as contentious as the state Capitol. “When you’re in business as long as I have been, you work with a lot of different people and you don’t have the luxury of being able to get away with a lack of results because there are differences between you and the rest of the project team,” he said. Tate, 46, is one of four candidates bidding for the Republican nomination – and significantly, as far as Tate is concerned, he is the only nonattorney in the bunch. “I’m lucky in that I’m kind of differentiated in terms of my resume,” Tate said. The other GOP hopefuls are first-time candidates Michael Fields and Carrie Penaloza and longtime Republican stalwart Jay Ledbetter, who in 2010 launched
Jack Tate
I’m lucky in that I’m kind of differentiated in terms of my resume. - Jack Tate, candidate state House District 37 a prickly challenge to Democratic Arapahoe County Coroner Michael Dobersen. The winner at the Republican Assembly will likely take on Marlo Alston, the only declared Democrat. Because 37 is an open seat this year, many believe the once Republican-safe district is up for grabs. In 2006, the last election of comparable equity, first-timer Swalm narrowly defeated his Democratic challenger. Formerly contained entirely within the city of Centennial, District 37 has expanded since then into unincorporated areas, as well as Foxfield, Dove Valley, Inverness and parts of Greenwood Village and Democratic-leaning Aurora. Although redistricting per the 2010 U.S. Census maintained 37’s Republican majority, the Democratic and unaffiliated numbers have inched up, and many
who live in the newly reconfigured district have never voted for Swalm. “I’m not going to rely on the numbers,” Tate said. “I’ve got a reputation as being a hard worker on the ground and I’m going to continue that. I’m very interested in earning the election and not being anointed.” Born and raised in Nashville, Tate attended North Carolina’s Duke University before entering the trenches of business that he says prepared him for his political entry. “Being from Tennessee, you can really have quite the spectrum of personalities you’re dealing with. You have to really learn to communicate and respect where other people are coming from,” the candidate said. In 1998, at the urging of his wife, the Tates moved to Colorado, where the family of five settled in what was essentially present-day Centennial. He received his Master’s of Business Administration from the University of Colorado. Tate is currently a senior vice president and part owner of Littleton-based Investive Building Projects, a construction firm that rehabilitates buildings in the interest of energy efficiency, particularly in the realm of natural gas. Although Tate makes no bones about his Republican credentials, he says his candidacy is based on practical experience and business sense, not ideology or a political agenda. He uses a football analogy to describe what would be his approach to success in the state legislature. “In some ways, people just want to have the long-passing game. But in some ways, you get more sustainable results by running the game and playing good defense and changing your field position,” Tate said. “A lot of times, you don’t win the Super Bowl with a flashy game, much to our dismay.”

dangerous trend in the country. The Brookings Institution recently published a report that said large cities are generally more unequal than others. “To take a different scope on this topic, we crunched the numbers to find the cities with the most income equality,” NerdWallet wrote. “… The lower the ratio, then the more equal the place.” Between 2007 and 2012, the average household income of the lowest-earning 20 percent of the U.S population decreased by 3.7 percent to $11,797, while that of the highest-earning 20 percent increased by more than 4 percent to $181,455. Although the space between rich and poor continues to widen, Centennial’s comparatively narrow income gap translates to a higher quality of life, according to NerdWallet. The median household income in Centennial is $88,598. By comparison, the mean annual income of the lowest-earning 20 percent of households is $29,958, while the highest-earning 20 percent earn $241,166 per year. Centennial was not the only metro Denver city to make NerdWallet’s list. Thornton was the second best city for income equality, followed by West Jordon, Utah, which took the highest spot. Other
[Littleton] was a big deal during the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush of the 1800s. Today, the community still has plenty of gold … in the form of friendliness. - Movoto, real-estate blog
Colorado communities included Highlands Ranch [11], Westminster [28] and Aurora [46]. While Centennial may be the relative tops in lifestyle parity, its neighbor to the west has received a similar ranking on the cordiality scale. Movoto, a real-estate blog, has deemed Littleton the sixthfriendliest small city in the United States, among those with populations of fewer than 50,000. “At 43,775 people, Littleton is the smallest small city in our top 10, but it was a big deal during the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush of the 1800s. Today, the community still has plenty of gold … in the form of friendliness,” Movoto writes. The site considered such factors as charitable giving to rate the cities’ “friendliness,” but also made note of more subjectively important criteria like the number of flower and gift stores, farmers’ markets, religious institutions and
even bars (the more, the merrier, according Movoto’s judgment). “Unfortunately, we couldn’t include some other criteria we initially wanted, like the number of highfives per capita or cups of sugar given to neighbors,” the site says. Researchers paid particular attention to Littleton’s annual violent-crime rate of 130 incidents per 100,000 residents, making it the least violent city in the Top 10. Littleton also fared well for flowers and gift shops [sixth place] and greeting card shops [11th], and had a remarkable 14,343 Facebook Likes, an impressive number for such a small city, according to Movoto. The only other Colorado community to make the list was Parker at No. 22. The friendliest city was San Luis Obispo, Calif. These recent surveys were not the first time Centennial and Littleton have scored well on national and state assessments. Last year, NerdWallet called Centennial one of the best places in the state for job seekers. The city also made Money magazine’s list of the 100 Best Places to Live in the United States. Centennial has consistently been named the Colorado city with the lowest crime rate. Last year, NerdWallet deemed Littleton one of the best Colorado communities for young families, despite the city’s want of available housing stock.

Winter cabin fever hitting season high KINDLING
By Robert Sweeney
Looks like winter is coming to an end and word comes that the fruit trees in Grand Junction’s Mesa County are starting to blossom with those apricots, peaches, apples and cherries. Let’s hope
that an early freeze won’t decimate our future fruit crop headed for the grocery stores. The general word around Denver among Broncos fans is that John Elway and company has really done a good job with free agency and has greatly enhanced our defense. We’ve lost Champ Bailey and he is named right, he really was a “Champ” and played well for Denver. We owe him a big “thank you” for his leadership and outstanding play. Years just started catching up with Champ, but watch him become a star for another NFL team, he still has some magic left in those aging legs. Sorry to lose Decker as well, but we have adequate receivers and the Jets will reportedly pay him $30 million. We wish him
great success in the Big Apple. Biggest shock of the upcoming seasons is getting a bill for the two season tickets that have been owned for the last 30 years. Ticket prices have risen considerably and I guess that is the price of success. If we want to win, it takes highly paid players; we have reached the top of the food chain for football players here in Denver. As long as fans buy high-priced tickets, players will receive large contracts. It is a shame that we place such a high priority on sports and such a low priority on paying schoolteachers. In the long haul of our society, who will be more important, the teachers and classrooms or the athletes and the touchdowns? Hands down the winner should

“While I nodded nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping.

DAs name prosecutors to inter-county chase Centennial driver crossed jurisdictional boundaries
By Peter Jones The Centennial man who led police last week on a televised high-speed 50-mile chase during rush hour took law enforcement on such a long ride that his case touched several counties. Ryan Cole Stone, 28, made his first appearance in court last week to face charges that could potentially include attempted murder and kidnaping. Speeds reached up to 100 mph in the chase that involved carjackings, several collisions, a kidnaped toddler and a seriously injured state trooper. The defendant is alleged to have led multiple law enforcement agencies on a long and treacherous pursuit on the morning of March 12. Stone, who has been declared a habitual criminal, also faces another $1 million bond for outstanding warrants in Arapahoe County. On March 13, 18th District Attorney George Brauchler and Boulder District Attorney Stan Garnett announced that the prosecution of Stone would take place in Douglas County. “This alleged conduct was not limited to one city, one county or even one judicial district and it will be prosecuted with some of the best prosecutors both District Attorney Garnett’s office and my office

Ryan Stone have to offer,” Brauchler said. “While this case may be prosecuted in Douglas County – let me be clear – this is a joint prosecution.” Brauchler named Senior Chief Deputy District Attorney Jason Siers and Deputy District Attorney Laura Wilson, and Garnett named Chief Trial Deputy Adrian Van Nice. “As district attorneys, we are expected to protect the community and provide a time-efficient prosecution – and this joint-prosecution is the best way to bring justice in this case,” Garnett said. “We’ve assigned attorneys who we believe will do an excellent job prosecuting this case.” The next hearing for case was set for March 19 when Stone was scheduled to hear formal charges.

The man who commandeered three different vehicles, kidnapped a child, severely injured a state trooper, and in the process struck numerous vehicles, had moved into a home on South Washington Street about two years ago. Stone’s younger brother also lived there for a time. “When they moved in, each of the brothers came over separately and introduced themselves,” said a neighbor who insisted on anonymity. “I never had any problems with them.” The brothers had re-landscaped the front yard and painted the house
after moving in. There were no numbers posted on the home to identify the address, but the brothers had installed a video intercom adjacent the front door to monitor guests and outside activity. Last weekend, a yellow note taped to the door by Centennial’s animal-control said, “Please call our office no later than 24 hours upon post of this notice. Inform us if there is a dog at the residence and who is providing care to the animal.” “I was surprised about his extensive criminal background, and it was not evident to me,” the neighbor said.
Alleged meth dealer
Stone’s criminal record – dating back to 2003, the year he turned 18 – includes motor-vehicle theft, assault, weapons and drug charges. “Stone is an active drug dealer of methamphetamine – the fact that he
was arrested for 88 grams of methamphetamine, that’s one giveaway,” said William Ellenburg, a bail bondsman who said he met Stone in January when the suspect cosigned his girlfriend’s $8,000 bond. Video cameras at the front door and throughout Stone’s house would have enabled the habitual criminal to be aware of law enforcement’s presence, Ellenburg said. As to the note on the door, the self-described bounty hunter said Stone had a young pit-bull puppy named Gina. “I have no clue who has the dog,” Ellenburg said, noting the animal was not in the house. Most of the people in the block were not aware that the car-chase suspect was a neighbor. “It is a little freaky just that he was our neighbor,” said a second anonymous source. “There was nothing out of the ordinary.”
Arapahoe County woman arrested for cancer scam By Peter Jones An Arapahoe County woman who falsely convinced the community that her 6-year-old son had cancer faces two felony charges after allegedly scamming more than $25,000 through phony fundraisers. Sandy Nguyen, 28, was arrested last week by the county sheriff’s deputies after reportedly admitting that the cancer claims were false. According to Capt. Larry Etheridge, Nguyen convinced the child, as well as other members of her family, that the boy had the disease, telling community members that the boy had eight months to live.
Sandy Nguyen According to a flyer from a benefit, the child had an aggressive stage-3 childhood bone
cancer and acute myelogenous leukemia that required extensive chemotherapy, transfusions and MRIs, among other treatments. During a court-warranted search of the woman’s home on March 13, investigators recovered about $23,000 in cash. The ruse began in September 2013 with much of the raised money eventually being used to finance a family trip to Disneyland. The boy attended Rolling Hills Elementary in the Cherry Creek School District, which held fundraisers. Nguyen faces charges of theft and criminal impersonation. Bond was set at $6,000.

Motorcyclist dies in March 14 accident I-25 tied up 4 plus hours
By Tom Barry During the March 14 rush hour around 6:30 p.m., traffic was in a stop-and-go mode, as a 53-year Arapahoe County male motorcyclist was killed in a accident while traveling southbound on I-25 just past Dry Creek Road. “The motorcyclist was eject-
ed and struck by a vehicle that was traveling southbound,” said Arapahoe County Undersheriff Louie Perea. The motorcyclist may have been trying to cut between two vehicles when he was struck, as a criminal investigation is underway. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by the South Metro Fire Rescue crew. The motorcyclist was wearing a helmet. There were three vehicles
involved in the accident, which also included an Entenmann’s Bimbo bakery semi-truck and a Dodge 4x4 pickup. “Obviously, People need to pay closer attention to any hazards, environmental factors to ensure that they can react in the appropriate time,” said Perea. CDOT reopened all lanes at 10:45 p.m., more than four hours after the accident, according to Crystal Morgan, a spokeswoman.
Powell Middle School receives honors 2014 Colorado Trailblazer School to Watch
By Peter Jones Powell Middle School in Littleton is worth keeping an eye on. At least, that is according to national and state leaders of an education-advocacy effort that recently placed the Littleton Public Schools middle school on its list of 2014 Colorado Trailblazer Schools to Watch. The National Forum, in concert with the Schools to Watch state program, recognized Powell as a Trailblazer for its record of challenging its students, being sensitive to the unique developmental needs of early adolescence and for providing each student with a high-quality learning experience. Powell was one of four Colorado middle schools and 100 such schools nationwide to be named a
Trailblazer this year. “Powell Middle School demonstrates that high performance is the result of continuous focus on the whole child,” said Diane Lauer, state coordinator of the Schools to Watch program. “The dynamic personalized learning environment they have created stimulates student intellectual and healthy physical social-emotional development.” Qualification as a Trailblazer is based on a written application that asks schools to show how they have met specific criteria. Teams then visit each school to watch teachers in action and interview administrators, teachers and parents. Judges also review a school’s achievement statistics, suspension rates and other data. Lauer says Powell has demonstrated that it excels at meeting the needs of all its students and at ensuring a rigorous high-quality education all around. “The result is a high-achieving school where students thrive,”
she said. Schools to Watch began in 1999 as a national program to identify middle schools and junior high schools that meet or exceed 37 criteria developed by The Forum. The organization’s website, www.middlegradesforum.org, features online tours of the designated schools. Dr. Deborah Kasak, the Forum’s executive director, says the selected middle-level schools as a whole have proven that it is possible to overcome barriers on the way to achieving excellence. “We are pleased that our Schools to Watch program has shown that schools can meet high academic expectations while preserving a commitment to healthy development and equity for all students,” she said. The three other Colorado schools to be recognized were Jenkins Middle School and Russell Middle School in Colorado Springs and Lesher Middle School in Fort Collins.

Theatre of Dreams Gala, April 5
The Colorado Symphony announced the 2014 Margaret Phipps Award will be presented to Gov. John Hickenlooper at The Colorado Symphony Ball 2014, April 5. The annual award “goes to a person or institution for their longstanding contributions and service to the organization and arts community.” Jerome Kern, CEO of the Colorado Symphony and his wife, Mary Rossick-Kern, board co-chair, said, “The governor is a true friend to the Colorado Symphony, as well as the entire cultural community of the State of Colorado. He’s a lover of music of all kinds, and he understands what an important contribution the arts make to Colorado’s people, as well as its economy.” Given all this, still, who would ever think the Colorado Symphony would perform in what’s known as the rock palace, Fillmore Auditorium? But they are performing there, April 5, for the next Colorado Symphony Ball. It seems to be quite a hit, as this is not the first time the annual CSO fundraiser has been there and we salute the effort to reach a new audience. The event is subtitled From Bach… To Rock The Battle of the Bands. This is an encore performance with the Moderators, teamed also with the DaVita Blues All Stars. Kent Thiry and Denise O’Leary are event chairs. You’re going to love the suggested attire: “Black Tie With Rock Flair.” There is valet parking
Gov. John Hickenlooper for those who don’t like to schlepp around Clarkson and East Colfax for parking lots. For more details, visit www. coloradosymphony.org.

Etiquette
Let’s talk about office etiquette, and lots of this info applies to volunteers who attend meetings in an office or private home. Rotate this responsibility through
everyone using it regularly and post some of these requirements. The microwave: this is a machine lots of people use and often it’s laden with yucky odors emanating from the inside of the microwave. Start cleaning it up by using a Clorox wipe. Take the rotating plate out and wash it thoroughly with a wipe that has antibacterial ingredients. Wipe out the walls, top and floor, then the outside. The counter should be litter and crumb free and if it’s not, move things off the counter and wipe it thoroughly and let it dry. Ditto for all other surfaces your professional office cleaning service doesn’t clean. All the above applies to the refrigerator too. If you bring smelly items to work be sure they are completely airtight-covered. Dispose of their refuse immediately, washing out all utensils you used and the containers they came in. Check with everyone using the kitchen or bringing in lunch in a bag and ask about food allergies and culturally forbidden foods. That can include deli meat. Some items such as peanut butter can set off an allergic person just by smelling it. Avoid bringing steamed broccoli, sardines and other odorous foods, but if you’re on a cruciferous diet that calls for any, wrap them tightly in reusable plastic containers that have lids that snap shut. Put your name on every item and at the end of each week, have the assigned kitchen cleaner dispose of any unclaimed items after checking to see if anyone forgot about something they want to take or trash. Also, collect coffee cups Friday and put them in the dishwasher and run it if it’s your turn. Health warning: foods with dairy or meat, including poultry, spoil and are unsafe after being out of refrigeration only two hours. Anyone having a birthday that the office celebrates should take leftover cake home, if no one else wants a slice before the end of the day. Do not leave it out unless you want some creepy crawlers welcoming you Monday morning. Junk food: don’t assume everyone welcomes your favorite
junk food you donate to the office as some who are diabetic or really serious about weight loss would appreciate not having to look at your banana bread or leftover Valentine’s or Halloween chocolate or candy. gloryweisberg@comcast.net

Overnight sensation Kaleidoscope benefits Rocky Mountain Health Foundation By Glory Weisberg A sick infant stirs panic in new parents, feeling helpless, especially in the middle of the night when a fever escalates and the crying won’t stop. Call the pediatrician and you may get a recording saying, “If this is a life threatening emergency, please hang up and call 911.” Bills for sick kids can pile up, especially when a child has to remain in the hospital for months. The Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation provides assistance for more than 1,500 patients and families a year, families that don’t have to decide whether to pay bills or buy food. Panicked parents can rest, knowing essentials such as diapers or car seats are supplied. A premature baby boy was born to Gabe and Mandy Geoff too early, needing to stay in the hospital for more than two months as he gained weight. When Mandy couldn’t supply enough pumped breast milk and the infant couldn’t tolerate any type of formula, be it dairy, soy or other source, the parents said, “We turned to the Mother’s Milk Bank,” which literally came to the rescue, drawing on their reserves of 47 gallons of donated breast milk over seven months, which they referred to as “liquid gold.” Instances such as this are the reason the Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation exists and they need financial support that comes annually from their Kaleidoscope fundraiser, supporting the Patient and Family Assistance Fund. This is a two-day event, March 8 and 9, including an overnight stay at the Ritz Carleton before a five-course dinner, with a separate wine for each course. That’s 40 wine glasses per table of eight. What fun to know you can sip and sup and not worry about driving home inebriated. This Kaleidoscope was chaired by Taryn Edwards and Beth Bowlen Wallace, both serving on the foundation board, led by Dr. Reggie Washington, chairman of the board. Wife Faye Washington was absolutely stunning in a silvery gown made for her, along with matching
silvery shoes. And speaking of stunning, tables in the ballroom of the Ritz Carleton were adorned with long stems of white orchids from Newberry Florists. Paula Newberry was on the Kaleidoscope team, as were Area Director of Catering Sales at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company Syd Sexton, Quinn Washington, Don and Julie Alcorn, Claire Conley, Michelle Connelly, Amanda Havens, Amy and Jacob Johnson, Dave Lash, Kate and Sarah Lewnard, Margy Mosely, Camille and Nick Ridley, Dennis Severson, Lee Shaughnessy, Joshua Shipman, and Luanne and Marc Williams. gloryweisberg@comcast.net

whittled down in three rounds of vigorous competition, and the Eaglecrest Raptors rose to the occasion, placing fifth with their outstanding routine of tumbling, stunting, dance and cheer. The cheerleading team has a long history of excellence, and during this season placed ssecond at the CHSAA State Championships, earned first place at the UCA Mile High Regional Championships and also received a special award for the Best Stunt Sequence, earned first place at the Centennial League competition, and placed first at the UCA Southern Colorado Regional, just to name a few honors. The Varsity Cheerleaders are no strangers to the hard work, discipline and dedication required to achieve this success. They must raise the funds necessary to pay their way for all of their cheer related expenses, including local and out of state travel, competition fees, and coaching and gym staff. Although the cheerleaders love to compete, they are required to schedule their practices around other commitments, such as supporting their fellow student athletes by cheering at games, school pep rallies and homecoming activities, where they also have their own float. Also of special significance to the varsity cheerleaders is their work with the students on Eaglecrest’s Unified Cheer team, who cheer together at some of the football and basketball games. This year the cheerleaders were also invited to appear and cheer at a local community send-off for the Denver Broncos just before the Super Bowl. The cheerleaders’ season runs almost a full year, and begins before tryouts in April, goes through the summer months and includes a cheerleading camp, and continues with hundreds of hours of practice until Nationals in February. Even then, the cheerleaders’ season does not officially end until basketball season has finished, and the Eaglecrest girls’ basketball team is now moving into the playoffs. Portions of the NHSCC will be aired on ESPN in March and April. For dates and times, visit check http://uca.varsity.com/ espn_dates.aspx.

Midnight in Paris draws Families First supporters to Steppin’ Out 2014 By Glory Weisberg Friends for Families First took a gamble March 15 by taking the annual fundraiser, Steppin’ Out, to a new venue and the gamble paid off handsomely. Janelle Endres and Yolanda Rainold chaired the successful virtual visit to Paris at Midnight. Since adults like to play dressup as much as children do, guests came out to the DoubleTree by
Hilton Denver Tech Center with faux French poodles on their arms and flapper fringe flying on the dance floor. And they did it all to support Families First in its effort to end the cycle of child abuse and neglect. The effort involves training abusive parents to learn new methods of parenting without physically and emotionally damaging their young children. While parents receive such education, children live at

the facility, healing physical and emotional wounds. That effort relies on paid professional staff and volunteers that man the bilingual hotline.

Shannon Sharpe tearfully shares journey at Junior League Journey dinner By Glory Weisberg Tears and laughter rippled through the Hyatt DTC ballroom when Denver Broncos greats Reggie Rivers and Shannon Sharpe addressed the Junior League Journey benefit. Tears streamed down Sharpe’s cheeks when he told about his own journey starting with growing up in his grandparents’ home. The only running water in the house came from the leak in the roof that dripped down on his granny’s face whenever it rained at night. But Granny knew how to raise her grandchildren; she’d had nine of her own kids. “All I ever wanted was a chance,” Sharpe told a stunned audience. “Everything I became was because of that woman.” The League’s focus is on increasing reading and literacy in the area’s inner city where families have few, if any books in the house, a sharp contrast from the upper income areas where Dr. Seuss and Golden Books line a child’s bedroom bookcase. Also on the podium was Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, who noted that one American community knows how many prison cells to build based on the number of children not reading by the third grade, so strong is a lack of literacy tied to crime! Rivers told of his locker room reminisces when Broncos John Elway and Sharpe were players there, sending the Junior Leaguers, their husbands and guests into rounds of laughter. Rivers has authored several books that sell well, and he knows how to reach a TV sports program and live audience. Mari Marsico, daughterin-law of Tammy and Tom Marsico, and Allie Ingalls, a second generation Junior Leaguer, chaired the dinner. Nora Heitmann is fundraising vice president and other Journey committee chairs include Cathy Loftus, Kimberly Penney, Kelly Mauro, Seanna Gittler, Samara Hunter and Lindsey Russell.

HighPointe has grand opening, ‘Gatsby’ style By Tom Barry HighPointe Assisted Living and Memory Care celebrated its grand opening March 6 at its new facility in southeast Denver. The atmosphere was festive as many of the staff dressed in Great Gatsby-like outfits. More than 200 guests came to see the new senior community located at the intersection of Hampden Avenue and I-25. A band played music from the 1930s through the ‘50’s, as a clarinetist weaved through the spacious dining room and several seniors danced with their grandchildren to the tunes of yesteryear. The community room featured delectable treats from Chef Brandon Hoyland. Local beers and smoothies were also offered. Staff from Spectrum Retirement Communities, which owns and manages the new HighPointe facility, were there to assist and meet the residents and guests. John Sevo and Jeff Kraus, managing directors, talked with guests in the lobby and bistro areas while the staff kept busy providing tours of the new retirement apartment home. Many guests, residents and staff took full advantage of the photo booth.

Independence Institute hosts Founders’ Night Dinner with Greg Gutfeld

Keynote speaker Greg Gutfeld, bestselling author, host of Red Eye and co-host of The Five on Fox News Channel
By Scottie Taylor Iverson Outspoken and outrageous funny man Greg Gutfeld was the featured speaker at think tank Independence Institute’s Founder’s Night Dinner that honored two award winners – Jeffrey H. Coors and John Carson, whose passion is school choice – putting children and parents first. The Independence Institute President Jon Caldara was emcee and there was chatter that he could easily fill in for Greg Gutfeld on Fox News Channel’s The Five. Throughout the evening, Caldara thanked Independence Institute Founder John Andrews, whose impressive Republican political resume and career continues to grow, and the investment of the Coors Foundation thanks to Jeff Coors. Instead of a printed program about the evening’s festivities, guests were given a confidential sealed envelope with a dossier on liberal operatives called, “The Evolution of Liberal Smugness Flipbook.” The Independence Institute’s mantra essentially is less government, more liberty. “What it does is sometimes a bit fuzzy,” said Caldara of the organi- Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez, his wife Claudia, son John zation with a staff of 25. “We build Beauprez and Monica Owens the infrastructure that makes change Jeff Coors, winner of the David S.

Cherry Hills Council debates use of public spaces events, shows By Jan Wondra What constitutes good use of the public spaces and the Community Room of the Joint Public Safety Facility? Should the city allow this space more for commercial uses, and how does it balance that with its Art in Public Places Master Plan? These questions and others were raised in a wide-ranging discussion at the March 4 City Council session regarding the space located at 2460 E. Quincy Ave. At issue: the type of agreement that the city or its designated committees and commissions make with those who use the space; be it a licensing agreement or a user agreement. Since its opening one year ago, the Community Room of the JPSF space has been used for many functions, from homeowner association meetings, to neighborhood meetings, town halls and by nonprofit groups. Its most public use, however, has been to display art, as coordinated by the Cherry Hills Art Commission, which promotes the placement of public art within the city. With the exception of a joint exhibition by the Inca Street Artists, those shows have been single-artist shows, and all shows have offered most of the art for sale. Some of the artists have donated all proceeds, and most a portion of their proceeds,
to the Art Commission’s work. The Art Commission has worked diligently to assure that the room’s wall space will be filled with art year-around. This prompted the question of whether there should be a requirement related to how much of the art sale proceeds should go to the city. “I personally don’t think that this should be a requirement,” said Councilwoman Klasina VanderWerf, who serves as the council liaison to the Art Commission. “We might have an artist who wants to give us a percent, but not 100 percent. I don’t think that the percent that goes to the Art Commission should be the greatest factor in determining which artists’ work is on display. I’d like to make sure we stay away from the income it might provide.” The question of a single artist show versus multiple artists was raised, based on the reality that some worthy artists may not have an available body of work to make a full show. “Theoretically, if there were 12 spaces, we could do 12 artists,” said Councilman Alex Brown. “It doesn’t have to be just one artist. Aren’t we leaving out some artists who might be good candidates?” “It seems to me that the council should not be approving every artist that wants to display,” said Councilwoman
Katy Brown. “Just as we don’t approve every group that asks to use the community room. I’m comfortable with leaving this to the Art Commission.” “We’re actually looking for artists,” said VanderWerf. “Traffic into the Community Room is our problem. We lost one artist who thought it wasn’t going to be seen by enough people.” The differences between a licensing agreement and a usage agreement, which would be better and which format to use, was brought up and not resolved. “I’m in favor of as much order and structure as we can develop,” said Councilman Mark Griffin. “We’ve used the room for a year. Now we need to review our polices and make sure we’re consistent.” Mayor Doug Tisdale said, “Resolving discrepancies and making changes to the agreement in use for the past year should be addressed in the next few weeks. Work with our city attorney to address the suggestions and differences, and come up with a recommendation. We’ll put the topic of public space and usage agreements on the agenda for the April 4 City Council meeting.” “We need to make sure that the usage agreement we finalize accommodates other groups, not just artists,” VanderWerf said.

Spotlight On Business
The Window Doctor is in By Peter Jones After 30 years in the cutthroat window business, it is not hard for Joe Brever to sum up the nature of the highly competitive glasswielding industry. “If you ever saw the movie Tin Men, it’s like that,” Brever said with a laugh. In that 1987 comedy, two aluminum-siding salesmen stoop to new lows in their no-holds-barred battle for vulnerable customers (and the eventual attention of one of their wives). While Brever may not have witnessed the scur-
rilous likes of Danny DeVito, he has seen his fair share of smoothtalking glass men. “I see the way our competition runs their business and I wasn’t too thrilled by it,” the entrepreneur said. “It sounds kind of corny, but we give people a very good product at a very good price. It’s not like we’re going out and undercutting people. We’re just trying to help people who are out working their butts off every day.” That is spirit in which Brever and his son, Chris, hung up their shingle as Window Doctor of

Family Owned Established 1949
“Your Satisfaction is Our Goal”
Colorado two years, offering affordable no-nonsense window replacement – a sort of prescription for the rising cost of window care. While the father is the technical whiz of the family, the son is a business major and attorney. “He does the business side of it and I do all the grunt side of it,” Brever said. “Once we get our job done, we get a lot of business by word of mouth. We’ve done very well. We’ve been blessed.” Window Doctor bypasses competitors’ offers of low-priced entry-level windows in favor of high-quality Simonton windows, which the company essentially sells at cost in concert with installation. It is a simple formula that Brever says is both upfront and cost-effective for homeowners. “We install a premium window and try to give a very good price. I’ve seen a lot of companies out there charge close to $1,000 for the same window we could put in for $500 or $550,” Brever said. Simonton’s Energy Star windows have been ranked “Highest in Customer Satisfaction” four years in a row by J.D. Power and Associates. Each glass is customcut and constructed in vinyl, fiberglass or wood and all are built with energy efficiency in mind. The window’s ProSolar Low E glass with argon gas boasts highperformance options that include a triple-pane insulating unit. “It cools in the summer, and in the wintertime as the heat hits the glass on the interior it actually reflects it back into the room,” Brever said. Replaced materials are recycled whenever possible, and if foreign objects come crashing through the new window, no worries with the lifetime warrantee. “Let’s say the neighbor kid shoots a BB gun through the glass, we’ll actually go out and replace that for nothing. It’s part of the deal. No questions asked,” Brever said. Despite the firm’s name, Window Doctor can also work its medicine on an assortment of

doors and screens and can even install hard-to-find storm windows on older homes for those who do not want to lose their historic window frames. Window Doctor offers a nointerest six-month payment plan through PayPal. Average turnaround time on work is two weeks. After three decades in the business, Brever remains excited about the window business, in part because of the ever-increasing quality of the products he sells. “When vinyl windows first came out, I wouldn’t have put them on a doghouse, but they’ve come a long way. The product is a lot nicer than it’s ever been,” he said.

Little’s Creek Pond dredging near complete
It’s your world. ENJOY it!
303.789.4400
Window Doctor of Colorado
Although it is unsightly, dredging is necessary maintenance to keep South Suburban Parks and Recreation’s ponds clean and healthy. Little’s Creek Park Pond in Littleton is being dredged due to high amounts of sedimentation that have collected over many years, including a recent inundation collected during last September’s rains. While South Suburban manages the park, the City of Littleton owns it. That is why the recreation district and and the city are equally funding the project with a $40,000 match. SSPR is also coordinating efforts with Littleton and Southeast Metro Stormwater Authority to restore the integrity of the entire culvert that connects Little’s Creek on the east side of Broadway to the Little’s Creek Park Pond on the west side. Work by RMC Consultants, the general contractor, is expected to be completed in late March. The area will be totally restored with new sod and a new pathway in the coming months.

The Landmark woes making progress
By Tom Barry After two months of dotting the “I’s” and crossing the “T’s,” the two Landmark residential towers and the adjacent commercial development are now officially under new management of Denver-based East West Partners, as they are also the court-appointed receivers. The multi-million dollar Landmark development was the dream of Zack Davidson, which quickly became the nightmare of many of the condo owners. Davidson became overextended when he attempted to build the adjoin-
ing European Village and create the Marin Special Metropolitan District to fund infrastructure improvements. The developer filed personal and business bankruptcies and was in hock to Hypo Bank in Germany. During the global financial crisis the German government took over the bank and acquired the majority of Davidson’s properties estimated to be around $100 million. Davidson was then indicted by a county grand jury for bilking more than $3 million from the Marin district. Shortly thereafter, Davidson committed suicide. Andy Miller and his company
had been serving as the courtappointed receiver and manager of the residential and commercial sectors. In September, Neuberger Berman, along with SVP Global purchased the note for the properties. The court then approved East West Partners of Denver to become the new receiver and management firm. Amy Cara, a partner at East West, then took over the reins replacing Miller. “The Landmark Tower was released to the market a few weeks ago to a strong response. Of the nine residences that remain in that building, five are already under
contract as of yesterday, and interest continues on the remaining residences. We continue working on the design of 48 residences that were never completed, and look forward to releasing the first few models of these new Signature Residences, as well as some of the existing residences, once they are refreshed to our standards, in June,” said Cara. “We are very excited about the strong response the community has had to the new Landmark. East West now holds two of the three seats on the homeowners association, as staffers Cara and Chris Frampton of the com-
pany will fill the voids. A tower resident will continue to represent the homeowners in the third seat. “We wanted to do things right and not cut any corners, as the homeowners did not want to rush the process,” said an informed source, who requested anonymity, of the two months utilized to complete the process. The sales office is once again open and marketing the handful of units that remain at The Landmark. East West’s sister company, Slifer, Smith and Frampton – Denver, Inc., are marketing the residences.

Man arrested in Centennial for luring child By Peter Jones Chalk up another one for the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Internet Crimes Against Children Unit. For the second time in as many weeks, deputies have captured an alleged sex criminal in an undercover sting while posing as a 14-year-old girl. Anthony Christopher Garcia,
46, was arrested last week in the 9900 block of East Peakview Avenue in Centennial. He has been charged with Internet luring of a child and Internet sexual exploitation of a child, both of which are felonies. According to the sheriff’s office, Garcia communicated with a deputy whom he believed to be an
underage girl and explicitly communicated the details of his interest in having sex with her. A meeting was scheduled for March 11 at the Peakview address where Garcia believed the girl lived, after being told her parents would be away. When Garcia arrived, he was arrested. The sheriff’s office says the
suspect has agreed to admit he was asking for sex with someone he thought was a teenager. Bond was set for $50,000. Anyone with information about any past allegations of criminal behavior by Garcia is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 303-795-4711.

PISMO celebrates Lino’s 80th birthday March 22 At an age when many people are slowing down or retiring, world-renowned glass maestro Lino Tagliapietra is flourishing. His creativity seems more inspired than ever and he continues to produce new and exciting works of art. Help PISMO celebrate Lino’s 80th birthday and his 68th year of blowing glass on Saturday, March 22, 6 – 8 p.m. Vetro non ē un Isola (“Glass is not one island, it is the universe”), a solo exhibition of his work, will be on display at PISMO’s Denver location, 2770 E. 2nd Ave. in Cherry Creek North, March 22 – May 18. Lino has long been considered one of the premier glass artists in the world. He has had a significant and historical impact and influence on the world of glass art. Perhaps most impressive is his willingness to give of himself and his extraordinary gift. In a world of often secretive and competitive rivalry, Lino shares his knowledge and know-how with unselfish and unbridled enthusiasm, anxious to teach and nurture, and effusively contributing to the exchange of skills, techniques and ideas.
Lino was born in Murano, Italy, in 1934. He started blowing glass at age 12, and was a master blower by the time he turned 21. From 1966 on, he worked as a maestro at many important glass factories in Venice and collaborated with famous designers at the International Glass School. In addition to creating his own work, he has collaborated with Dale Chihuly, and others, creating some of the world’s finest and most intricately blown glass art. Since 1982, he has played a primary role in teaching Venetian glassblowing techniques to the younger generation of glassblowers throughout the U.S. and the world. In his Chihuly Over Venice video sponsored by PBS, Chihuly said, “Lino Tagliapietra is probably the world’s greatest glassblower… you see this unbelievable skill and this phenomenal traditionPISMO Fine Art Glass opened in 1990 as a mixed media gallery and switched primarily to glass in 1995.

Littleton Public Schools criticized for communication
Some parents ask board for greater openness
By Tom Barry A jovial Scott Murphy, the superintendent of Littleton Public Schools, began a recent board meeting by highlighting some positive facts relating to the district’s enrollment numbers and sporting events. He noted that 10 district schools have waiting lists because of open enrollment. Murphy also boasted about the high attendance record at Arapahoe High School, indirectly referring to the recent shooting tragedy. Each of the five board members then offered updates relating to their respective committee assignments. Newly elected member Jack Reutzel thanked the superintendent for his efforts related to the tragedy and then discussed the Safe2Tell hotline for students to report concerns about fellow classmates. Some students have referred to this hotline as the “snitch line.” “Safe2Tell wants every student to know – telling isn’t snitching,” the nonprofit group’s website says. “Telling is when you need to keep yourself or someone you know safe from threats, harmful behaviors or dangerous situations,” he said. “Make a Call – Make a difference” is the organization’s tagline. Individuals can remain anonymous. Safe2Tell does not use phone tracing, caller ID or call recording. Arapahoe parent Risa Friskey and her daughter, Sophia, an outof-district AHS junior who lives in the Cherry Creek School District, addressed the board “There are a lot of rumors that spread, and we have not been getting answers and [we are] getting more confused,” Sophia said. “The kids are trying to figure out what to believe and not believe.” LPS has made numerous efforts to communicate its message
to families. Officials issued a press release eight hours after the Dec. 13, 2013, incident. Two other releases followed over two days, one saying, “This is an ongoing investigation by the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. Please direct all inquiries regarding the incident to the Arapahoe County’s Sheriff’s Office.” Later LPS communication said, “A time may come when LPS is required to release information … Please know that we will not compromise the privacy of anyone in our community, and we will not allow others to define who we are.” As far as some parents are concerned, not enough information has been forthcoming. “I am not seeing transparency,” said Sarah Daniels, an Arapahoe graduate and mother of a current senior at the school and a daughter who attends Powell Middle School. Daniels has made repeated visits to school board meetings, seeking information, but says neither the board nor the superintendent has yet responded to her issues. “I’m trying to be unemotional and my focus is on the kids and their safety,” said Daniels, whose son had walked through the same corridor shortly before Claire Davis was shot. The mother said she has discussed organizing a parents group around the issue and has asked the district to create a safety-advocate committee. “The students need a voice,” she said. “Our kids have been deprived of something that can’t be replaced.” Daniels has proposed that a third party assist Arapahoe with security to avoid potential conflicts of interest. She would also like to see the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office have a neutral third party do an objective review of the case. The sheriff’s office plans to have a third party audit the final report.
