Schwab to open new Lone Tree facility By Tom Barry Business and government leaders joined Charles Schwab corporate executives for a ground breaking at the Lone Tree Arts Center, May 10. The event began in the theater with Brian McDonald, a senior vice president of client service and support for Charles Schwab & Company, Inc., sharing that the company was celebrating its 40th anniversary. Over the last two months, Schwab has been constructing the third largest of seven employee centers in the United States in the city of Lone Tree. Currently, Schwab has three business centers scattered throughout the area. As this new campus, Schwab will consolidate into one major employment center.
“We are leaving a business community and moving to a neighborhood,” said McDonald, a 20-year employee of the financial services company.

“We go the extra mile for our residents and Schwab does the same for their customers,” said Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning in addressing the by-invitation-only 120 people. “Partnership was the key component,” said Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella. “Schwab plans to bring 500 plus new jobs in.” The financial services company plans to add these new positions at the center in the future. “I started in San Francisco in

Centennial bans pot businesses
Englewood bans pot businesses … for now
By Peter Jones Like many Colorado cities, Centennial has – at least, for the time being – prohibited marijuana-related businesses within its borders. The City Council has not stopped there, however. Fearing a proliferation of marijuana vending machines or other largely unregulated mechanisms, the city has smoked out virtually any possible commercial production or sale of marijuana. “We added to the ordinance a
By Peter Jones The Englewood City Council wants to find out what residents think about recreational-marijuana businesses, but in the meantime the city is keeping them out. Last week, City Council gave final approval – on a vote of 5 to 2 – to a permanent ban on retail and cultivation businesses in Englewood. The ban could be lifted by a council vote at a later date. A second proposal to place a

Centennial’s moratorium on marijuana retail and cultivation businesses is not necessarily permanent. It begins Sept. 30 in anticipation of new state regulations allowing and regulating the Continued on page 6
Nonbinding vote could change city’s mind
nonbinding question on November’s ballot is expected to receive unanimous approval on May 20. That vote could change the council’s mind – but not necessarily. Although the council appears divided on the merits of allowing marijuana stores and cultivation operations in the city, Englewood voters were more decisive in their support for Amendment 64, the statewide ballot question that legalized the limited recreational use of marijuana and allowed for a commercialized retail and production system to service it. The amendment also allowed cities and counties to prohibit Continued on page 6

1974 with four employees,” said Charles Schwab, who insists on being called “Chuck,” as one of his advertising campaigns “Talk to Chuck” highlights. “Denver is a healthy city and good for sports.” Schwab has a home in Vail and enjoys fly-fishing and skiing. “The real difference is the quality of our employees,” said Schwab. “Our first Denver office was in a loft in downtown Denver [near the Brown Palace].” Schwab joked saying that Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper
backstage had asked if the prominent businessman would consider moving his company headquarters from San Francisco. Chuck smiled on stage and said that we are always looking for efficiency and cost cutting. Hickenlooper then addressed the dignitaries saying that he was delighted that Schwab had chosen Colorado to build this new center. The governor said the state’s educational system delivers high quality employees for the industry.
Memorable groundbreaking
After the dignitaries spoke,
Schwab and Hickenlooper walked out of the theater together talking as if they had been old friends before heading outside. It was like a “who’s who” in the Denver business community that came together for the groundbreaking. Robert Asselbergs, president of Coventry Development Corporation, was joined by his long-time friend Curtis Fentress with the architectural firm bearing his name. The two business leaders had been involved in the site selection process and are now respectively developing and designing Schwab’s corporate campus. Denver attorney Steve Farber with Brownstein, Hyatt, Farber & Schreck assisted Schwab in the corporate endeavor. Executives from Mortenson Construction Maja Rosenquist and Jason Miller were present for the noteworthy event. They were joined by Rep. Cory Gardner, state, county and local officials. Ten of the dignitaries then grabbed shovels and turned over the dirt donned in white construction hats. Schwab’s 40-plus-acre site is directly west, across the street from the Lone Tree Arts Center.

“Schwab wanted a ‘Colorado Experience’ for their employees,” said Fentress whose firm designed the campus structures and layout. “Each of the buildings will have an unencumbered view of the mountains.” Schwab’s new Colorado campus is in the RidgeGate development. The campus will feature a retail center just west of I-25 and south of Lincoln Avenue. The campus will feature two fivestory buildings, an amenities facility and a 1,000-space parking garage. The campus will also provide

acres available for future expansion. The first Schwab employees are slotted to move into the new campus in the third quarter of 2014.

Charles ‘Chuck’ Schwab making impact in Lone Tree By Tom Barry Charles Schwab, who insists on being called “Chuck,” flew from San Francisco to personally attend the groundbreaking of one of his company’s largest corporate campuses in the United States – right here in Lone Tree. Schwab, a self-made billionaire, is 75 years young and is still active in the financial services company that bears his name. His net worth is estimated to be $4.3 billion, according to Forbes magazine. “We frankly think our company will grow exponentially over the next 10 years,” said Schwab who received a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Stanford University. He said he works about half to two-thirds of the month on Schwab business. In his so-called retirement, Schwab proudly smiles and says that he has five children and 12 grandchildren that he
spends time with regularly. He enjoys playing golf, fly fishing and skis in Vail. Schwab’s eyes light up when he notes that he loves to travel. To convey his opinion on national financial issues, Schwab said he provides “op eds” [editorial opinions] in the Wall Street Journal and USA Today. Schwab was very cordial and amicable to talking with attendees at the groundbreaking. One state executive came up to Schwab and said, “I’ve been a customer of Schwab’s for 25 years and have never met you before. Can I have a photo?” Schwab gladly obliged and posed for a photo adjacent the backdrop of a corporate logo screen. The highly respected Schwab easily mixed with the attendees. His warm and approachable style was complimented by his sense of humor, wide smile and regular laughter.

‘Tops’ in character & success
Book pays tribute to community leader Walt Imhoff
W By Peter Jones
alt Imhoff made his career in Denver’s financialservices industry, but many know him best as a leader in the local charitablegiving community. From being a major benefactor for the Kempe Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse to co-sponsoring a recent benefit for pancreatic-cancer research, Imhoff of Greenwood Village has been on the forefront of Colorado philanthropy for decades. That’s what inspired Marcella Rapp to write All the Way to the ‘Top’: By Example of Walt F. Imhoff, a new 70-page primer on character, success and ethics that uses the retired investment banker as its case study. Rapp, a retired probations officer and friend of Imhoff, writes that he is “one of the kindest and most generous persons that [she] has ever met. … His leadership characteristics should be shared with youth.” Rapp, a 30-year board member for the Arapahoe House substance-abuse treatment center, is donating all of the book’s proceeds to a special scholarship fund at Regis University, Imhoff’s alma mater. The Villager recently spoke with Rapp about her tribute to
Walt Imhoff the community leader. Villager: Why did you write this book? Rapp: As a probation officer, I saw a lot of people who weren’t motivated and most of the times didn’t have the support or encouragement to really move on and be better. That’s the hardest population in the world to get to turn their lives around. Working with substance abusers, I ran into the same population. The other thing was my husband was a Marine who got the Purple Heart in Korea, so I’m really sensitive to these military people who are coming back with all these emotional problems.
This is written in an unusual form. It’s an easy read and it’s one where you can put it down – and if you want to look at it again, pick it up and not be intimidated because of its size. Villager: Why Walt Imhoff? Rapp: I’m very impressed with Walt and what he’s done. That man doesn’t have a selfish bone in his body. Sometimes we use some of our sports figures as examples for our kids. College students, junior high and senior high kids could benefit from something like this too. Walt’s just an example that needs to be placed in front of those types of people. There are a lot of people here locally that know that name from just seeing it in the newspaper. Sure, he gives a lot of money away to nonprofits, but there’s more to him than that. Villager: How would you like to see people apply this book to their lives? Rapp: I have one good friend who immediately read it and passed it down to her grandchildren. They don’t even need to know Walt to benefit from this book. There are certain places in there that I’m sure will have application to everybody. Villager: Including yourself, evidently, as the first recipient of Arapahoe House’s longstanding Marcella C. Rapp Community Partner Award. Rapp: I’ve been on the board and we’ve been through a lot of trauma. I was president for five years just because of rough times. Then I became president of the foundation for two years
Coffman wants to cut exemptions from health care mandate Submitted by Rep. Mike Coffman’s Office Last week, U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, introduced the Affordable Care Accountability Act, which would require all congressional staff, the president and vice president, their dependents, cabinet secretaries and executive Mike Coffman political appointees to participate in the newly established state health-insurance exchanges. Previous legislation required members of Congress and their
personal staff to be enrolled in the exchanges, but exempted committee and leadership staff, as well as the executive branch. “The Affordable Care Act is one of the most hotly debated pieces of legislation I have ever been involved in,” Coffman said. “The American people were told its passage would lower health care costs, which we now know is not the case. The public has the right to be outraged that many of the individuals responsible for drafting and advocating for passage of this legislation are exempt from its mandates. I fully supported member and staff inclusion in the exchanges and believe all congressional staff, the president and vice president, and executive agency political appointees should be included as well. If these exchanges are good enough for the American people,
they should be good enough for us. Nobody involved in the passage of this legislation deserves a separate health insurance plan that is not available to the public.” The legislation has been referred to the House Administration, House Energy and Commerce and House Oversight and Government Reform committees where it awaits further consideration. “I urge my colleagues on these committees to consider and pass this important legislation as soon as is possible so we can have a full and open debate on the topic in the House,” Coffman said. “If you believe these exemptions are legitimate, then you should have to defend why the care provided on these exchanges are good enough for your constituents, but not good enough for those who wrote the bill.”

to get that off the ground. It’s because of my support and my willingness to give a lot of time. Every year, we recognize some program in the community that has assisted our program. It’s
also to recognize people who have made contributions and have real passion for this type of service. I can’t be a philanthropic donor like Walt is, but I have a very exciting life, I know that.

By Jan Wondra When Gov. John Hickenlooper walked into the Joint Public Safety Facility on May 13, it marked the first official visit by a sitting governor to Cherry Hills Village. The purpose of the governor’s visit was to sign two bills passed by the Colorado General Assembly into law. The visit was brought about by Rep. Daniel Kagan, D - Cherry Hills Village Kagan, who sponsored both bills, said, “I’m very proud of the new Joint Public Safety Facility, which exists due to cooperation among public entities. I thought, what better opportunity to highlight the cooperative nature of how we work here in the south metro area than to sign the bills here.” Cherry Hills Village city staff, City Council and representatives of the police department attended the ceremony. Two bills were signed: House Bill 1308 assures that law enforcement agencies can access cell phone location information in emergency situations. “In emergencies, time is of the essence,” said Hickenlooper. “Even a half hour will matter in cases of kidnapping or a wild fire.” House Bill 1163 bridges the gap between the federal funds available to cover the medical examination costs of sexual assault victims and actual costs. Prior to this bill, Colorado residents bore the remaining burden of costs associated with establishing that an assault had occurred. “This bill fills the critical gap in existing funding,” said Hickenlooper. “I commend this bipartisan effort. Rep. Kagan is one of our most tireless representatives in reaching across the aisle to make things happen.” Kagan, who wrote both bills, spoke of the bill processes, prior to the signings. “The language of HB 1163 creates the emergency payment program. When a person has already been the victim of an assault, it just seemed to me that making them

Daniel Kagan, women who testified on behalf of the bill, Denver Police Chief Robert White, Ellen Belef and Kelly Everitt of We are Women Colorado look on. effort, and Kagan, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, was the right person to carry this forward. “Denver Police Chief White came to me and asked me to look at a way to help protect the public and cut crucial response time during these emergencies,” Kagan said. “I said, ‘OK, but there’s probably not much we can get done.’ Then we began to talk with people, and found that there was room to create a bill. We talked with many groups, adding and removing items that would assure support. We specifically talked with the American Civil Liberties Union, creating language that doesn’t so much expand the power of police, as it does a better job of safe-guarding the public. In the end, the ACLU is officially neutral on this bill.” Mayor Doug Tisdale welcomed Hickenlooper to Cherry Hills Village. “It’s not that governors don’t visit us here in Cherry Hills Village, but usually those visits include a lot of wine, and cheese...and checks,” he said. “This state is unique in its bipartisan collaboration. Our governor is a regionalist; he was a mayor before he became our governor, so he understands collaboration. It is no fluke that these two bipartisan bills are being signed here.” Prior to the governor’s departure, Mayor Tisdale presented the governor and Rep. Kagan with keys to the city.
carry the cost of having to gather the evidence to prosecute was revictimization. We made sure not just to authorize it, but to fund it. Given the events in the past week and a half in Ohio, both this bill, and HB 1308, sure are timely.” In his thanks to the many who made the passage of the bill possible, Kagan singled out a special group for their bravery. “Most importantly, I want to thank a courageous group of women, who are themselves victims of rape. The last thing a rape victim wants to do is to relive the experience,” he said. “But they came to the House hearings and they gave difficult, compelling testimony about their experiences. It was painful. It was agonizing, even for those who listened to it. I can’t imagine how difficult it was for them. But they did it and now we have this law.” The second bill, HB 1308, assures that law enforcement groups can quickly get cell phone location information in kidnapping and other emergency situations, without waiting to acquire a court ordered warrant. The measure will aid fast response in potentially lifethreatening situations, including Amber Alerts, and assures cell phone company staff they will not be violating privacy laws by providing the information to Colorado law enforcement officials. Shepherding this bill forward required a collaborative, bipartisan

Letter to the Editor Sexual assault
It is sad that nearly 70 percent of reported sexual-assault victims in the U.S. are children 17 or younger. However, we live in a sex-soaked society. Our movies,
TV, Internet, magazines are saturated with sex. Is it any wonder that we have children who are victims? However, we do not look for causes and solutions. As C.S. Lewis has written, “We make men without chest and
expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.” J.D. Moyers Centennial

Centennial approved Amendment 64 by 7 points Continued from Page 1 industry and ends a year later, at which time much of the dust will have hopefully settled on the emerging marijuana industry. At that time, the issue may be placed before voters in Centennial, a city that approved Amendment 64 by 7 percentage points. The successful 2012 ballot initiative legalized limited recreational private use, possession, cultivation and retail sales of marijuana by adults 21 or older. In addition to the commercial ban, the new Centennial ordinance also regulates the home growing of marijuana allowed by the state constitutional amendment and prohibits the use and possession of marijuana on city-owned property, including in the popular Centennial Center Park.
According to Widner, the ordinance reflects the unanimous view of Centennial’s Business Advisory Group as well as the broader public opinion garnered recently during a series of public forums held across the city of 100,000 people. “There were on occasion people who spoke in favor of allowing commercial sales and growing within the community, but those were a rather small minority,” the city attorney told the council. Under the provisions of Amendment 64, a person in Colorado may possess a total of six marijuana plants, no more than three of which are “mature,” and up to an ounce of marijuana while traveling. A separate regulatory system oversees the state’s medical-marijuana program approved by voters more than a decade ago.
Medical-marijuana dispensaries have been permanently barred in Centennial since 2011, even as their recreational counterparts will be subject to what is currently a temporary moratorium. Some on the council say voters should make the final decision, though the council, not voters, banned the medical dispensaries. The council concedes its recreational-marijuana policy remains a work in progress as the state government sorts through the new normal of marijuana legalization and Colorado awaits reaction from the federal government, which still prohibits all use and possession of marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act. “There will very likely be a need to come back and amend what we have here,” Widner said.
ter, Amendment 64 requires binding ballot questions on the issue to be conducted on even-numbered election years when voter turnout is greater. Wording on Englewood’s nonbinding ballot would emphasize the advisory nature of the question and make it clear that the constitutional right to possess and use marijuana would not be affected either way. Backers of the city ballot question, including Mayor Pro Tem Jim Woodward, said it was important to gauge the opinion of residents because it is unclear whether city residents would support marijuana businesses in the city. “Because Englewood was 9 percent higher than the state on voting yes on Amendment 64, I’d rather hear from the voters and then
go from there,” said Woodward, who opposed instituting a ban prior to the vote of the people. Still others, including District 4 Councilman Rick Gillit, emphasize that Englewood voters, in supporting Amendment 64, also allowed communities in principle to bar such operations from the city. “We don’t always go back to the voters on every vote – and say, ‘oh, did you want this applying to Englewood? The voters said we could ban. We have the right as a council to ban retail sales in Englewood,” Gillit said. Englewood has three medicalmarijuana dispensaries, some of which Gillit expects to convert to recreational businesses in any case. Election Day is Nov. 5.
Sixty-four percent of Englewood voters favored Amendment 64 Continued from Page 1
such operations. Sixty-four percent of voters and all but one precinct in Englewood voted in favor of the amendment, which was more popular across Colorado than President Obama, who won the state’s electoral votes in the same 2012 election. The nonbinding question that will likely appear on November’s ballot would measure public opinion on whether Englewood should change its current policy and allow the industry to operate within the city limits, though the council would not be legally obliged to impose the majority opinion. Although some council members supported letting the voters make the final decision on the mat-

Alicia Guerra shares her incredible journey to Peru and her experiences on the Inca Trail. Is this incredible adventure trip on your bucket list?
Her story
I heard some nervous laughter and heavy feet coming behind me so I looked up and to my amazement I saw my longtime friend on the back of a porter, running down the trail with her holding on for dear life piggy back style. Now, this was not what I expected to see on the trail but this was no ordinary trail, this was the Inca Trail in Peru. Nine of us women had been trekking the Inca Trail for three days, and according to our seasoned guides, my poor friend was just walking too slow and she was in jeopardy of missing dinner at camp. We quickly learned that you do not miss meals while hiking to Machu Picchu. This was just one of the many life affirming, scary, push me beyond my limits moments that

through the last checkpoint and up to the Sun Gate. The pace of our group did not afford for us to make it to the Sun Gate as the sun rose, but after going up some more steep inclines and navigating the near vertical stairs right at the end (the gringo killers) we were blessed with a clear view of the iconic vista of the 15th century citadel. After a brief lesson on Inca spirituality we descended down to the goal that had keep our minds and imaginations occupied while we pushed our bodies to their limits. The first thing to strike you when you arrive at Machu Picchu is it seems to be a part of the landscape, rather than built upon it. It appears to be totally integrated into the mountaintop. Approaching Machu Picchu from the top (via the Sun Gate) is stunning, but exhausting. You walk all the way down, through the complex to get to the main entrance, only to turn around and then appreciate it all over again from the bottom up. Our three-hour guided tour, built on the foundation of four days trekking with our experts was the perfect way to end our Peruvian adventure. But of course the fashion show on the train back to Cusco put us right back into giggles and laughter.

Lone Tree makes big splash during State of the City
T
By Tom Barry he small but rapidly expanding city of Lone Tree, population 11,000, made several big splashes at the Chamber of Commerce’s annual State of the City event May 9. The catered noontime event was held at the city’s Arts Center just west of the burgeoning Sky Ridge medical facility. Major business sponsors included 1st Bank, Charles Schwab and Kaiser Permanente. They were joined by tables of business and community leaders, including elected officials from Douglas County and the city, to learn first-hand of the significant business progress. “The future is so bright you have to put on your shades,” said Linda Harmon, the chamber’s executive director. “We are a young city with so much potential.” Harmon touts that the city’s population swells to more than 100,000 during the business day with employees, visitors and shoppers. Lone Tree’s Mayor Jim Dunning then addressed more than 160 attendees. Dunning, a captain with a major airline, entertained the crowd with his wit and facts. He drew laughter and applause with his unconventional anything-but-politically-correct style by today’s standards. Dunning shared that they recently chose the city’s new Police Chief Jeff Streeter from mug shots of other police chiefs, as a slide of the new chief appeared on two large screens. Streeter then stood at the mayor’s request to be introduced to the smiles and clapping of the dignified guests.

The city is slotted to meet with Colorado Department of Transportation executives with a plan to expedite the widening of C-470 from I-25 west to Kipling. The Regional Transportation District is planning an extension to the southeast of the existing light rail line for a 2.2 mile stretch. This extension will provide three new stops and one Park-n-Ride location. “RTD FastTracks Southeast Light Rail Extension is expected to spur development of 10 – 12 million square feet of commercial space, 3,500 residential units, and an estimated valuation at buildout of $725 million,” Dunning said. This young city incorporated in 1996 plans to have an additional 200 single-family homes

Some of the luxury semi-custom homes at Heritage Hills start at $700,000, while custom homes take off at more than $1 million. Dunning shared that the East – West Regional Trail was expanded by 2.7 miles last summer. An outdoor enthusiast can now go from Lone Tree to Durango on this trail. The city assisted Douglas County financially, enabling the trail to be completed. In a recent survey, residents of Lone Tree noted their overall satisfaction of city services was in the high 90 percentile. In a financial overview it was noted that the sales tax revenue was staying strong just exceeding $20 million. Dunning said, “Lone Tree does not collect property tax for city operations.”

Free document-shredding June 1 in Highlands Ranch By Jerry Brown, JerryBrownPR Do you have a big stack of personal or business documents that need to be shredded but don’t want to spend hours doing it yourself? You can bring up to two full file boxes of them to a free community shredding event between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 1, in the parking lot of 1745 Shea Center Drive, at the corner of Lucent Blvd. and Plaza Drive in Highlands Ranch. The event is being sponsored by 21 companies who are all members of the South Metro Denver Chamber’s LEADapalooza leads group and will benefit Boy Scout Troop 628. “We’ve done these in the past and they’ve been very popular,” said

Udall pushes energy innovation U.S. senator makes stop at South Metro Denver Chamber By Peter Jones To hear U.S. Sen. Mark Udall tell it, Colorado is a model for national energy policy. “Just think about it,” he told a room of business leaders at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. “We’ve got solar in the San Luis Valley. We’ve got wind towers on the Eastern Plains of our state. We’ve got natural gas and coal on the Western Slope. … We’ve got it all, and we’re showing the nation and the world, literally, how to achieve energy independence.” The El Dorado Springs Democrat, who serves on the Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee, made his case for an all-ofthe-above approach on May 10 in an appearance presented in part by the chamber’s Energy and Sustainable Infrastructure Council and Business Leaders for Responsible Government. Udall, who in 2004 championed Amendment 37, a successful ballot
Drilling is serious business and any industry that uses public resources should be held accountable when it makes mistakes, especially when it endangers the health of Colorado families. - U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colorado initiative that required an increase in renewable energy production, said the innovations across Colorado range from major geothermal initiatives at IKEA and Grand Junction’s Mesa College to an unusual methanecapture project along the Western Slope. “It takes a waste product, which is methane, and transforms it into electricity. It’s truly amazing,” the senator said. The project has essentially amounted to cow manure powering two ski areas, restaurants and hotels, reducing pollution by 96 tons of carbon dioxide per year. “This project and others like it are good for the environment and economically feasible – all because the private sector decided to come together and developed an innovative job-creating solution. It’s a classic win-win,” Udall said. When it comes to oil and natural
gas, the senator advocates cautious exploration, particularly in the controversial area of hydraulic fracturing or fracking, which like conventional drilling has been in decline on U.S. government land. “Drilling is serious business and any industry that uses public resources should be held accountable when it makes mistakes, especially when it endangers the health of Colorado families,” Udall said. “… It’s interesting how the oil in the world seems to be under the lands of societies that are particularly nondemocratic and dictatorial – all the more reason to pursue energy independence.” The senator said the United States should not wait for the next energy crisis to ramp up its innovations in energy production. “The more choices we have in energy, the better for our economy, our security and our very freedoms,” Udall said.

Arapahoe County welcomes second Veterans Service officer As more troops return from overseas, Arapahoe County has increased staffing in its Veterans Service Office to assist veterans seeking federal benefits. The Board of Commissioners has appointed Tim Westphal as assistant county Veterans Service officer, a new role that was created and approved in the 2013 budget. Westphal will assist veterans and their dependents with filing for benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, such as service-connected disability, pension, burial benefits, Veterans Administration healthcare and education benefits. Westphal joins Veterans Service Officer Rick Stewart, who has served more than 50,000 veterans and dependents and helped to recover more than $6 million in awarded claims since his appointment in 2009. “The men and women who served our country deserve an advocate and friend as they navigate the complicated VA claims process,” Commissioner Bill Holen said. “The Arapahoe County Veterans Service Office has met that need for many deserving veterans, and we are honored to welcome Tim Westphal as assistant CVSO to serve additional residents in the future.” Westphal comes to Arapahoe County from the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, where he worked for three years as a readjustment counseling technician and assisted clients with veteran benefits, support services and readjustment issues. He served seven years in the Army as an infantry squad leader in Schweinfurt, Germany and was honorably discharged in 2005. Westphal holds a bachelor’s degree in Behavioral Science and History from Metropolitan State University of Denver. He will earn his CVSO accreditation from the VA in May. Arapahoe County is home to more than 50,000 veteran, 40,000 veteran dependents and 15,000 active military at Buckley Air Force Base. Veterans in need of assistance can call 303-738-8045 or visit the Arapahoe County Veterans Service Office at 1690 W. Littleton Blvd., Suite 103, in Littleton.

Attention art lovers Downtown Denver Arts Festival to celebrate 15th year Memorial Day weekend

S
erious and casual art lovers will be welcome with open arms to the 15th annual Downtown Denver Arts Festival, taking place this Memorial Day weekend, May 24-26. And what will make the welcome all the more special is the fact that the popular arts festival is returning to its original home, the Denver Performing Arts Complex. The “art centric” location provides a more comfortable and stroll-able environment, and this year’s festival will welcome 140 artists (from a record field of applicants). Ninety-two of the attendees are from Colorado, and include many of the state’s most critically acclaimed artists, displaying and selling paintings, sculptures, jewelry and other fine works of art, ranging in price from less than $100 to tens of thousands of dollars. “We’re looking forward to making this the very best Downtown Denver Arts Festival ever, and returning to the Denver Performing Arts Complex only makes things better,” said Jim DeLutes, the festival’s director. “We have welcomed many of Colorado’s best artists to this year’s festival, along with some of the most respected artists from across the nation. Our outstanding list of artists, combined with our return ‘home’, will provide art lovers with a tremendous place to enjoy artwork they love in a setting that is more conducive to

fine artwork.” Hundreds of artists applied to be in this year’s Downtown Denver Arts Festival, and a waiting list had to be established due to the overwhelming interest and desire to be part of this year’s event. The final list was determined following a rigorous jury selection process. The list of artists, and samples of some of their work, can be viewed at www.DowntownDenverArtsFestival.com. A video of the artwork is also available at http://tinyurl.com/DDAF2013. Philanthropy will also be an important element of the Downtown Denver Arts Festival at the
Denver Performing Arts Complex. This year’s event will also benefit Project C.U.R.E., which helps meet the need for medical supplies, equipment and services around the world (www.projectcure.org). “The art community is made-up of people who want to help people, and it’s an honor and a pleasure to know that our work will also go to the good of the important cause of Project C.U.R.E.,” DeLutes said. The Downtown Denver Arts Festival is free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.DowntownDenverArts Festival.com.
Fey’s manner of death still unconfirmed Concert promoter committed suicide, but little else known By Peter Jones Nearly three weeks after the passing of Barry Fey, questions remain about the exact cause and manner of the Denver concert promoter’s death. Although the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office has confirmed that the longtime Cherry Hills Village resident committed suicide, the manner by which Fey took his own life has not been released. “His death was by his own hand, but we’re holding out for further studies,” Coroner Michael Dobersen said. “I just want to make sure I have all the information before I release that. I want to be cautious for the time being.” Dobersen, a medical doctor and forensic pathologist, said he
Barry Fey expects results from an independent toxicology lab to be in his office by early June at the latest. Conjecture about Fey’s death had swirled in the press and blogosphere in the days after he died in his Arapahoe Lakes home on April 28. The retired promoter
had recently undergone an arduous hip-replacement surgery and was by all accounts having a difficult recovery. Although some had publicly conjectured about a possible suicide almost immediately due to Fey’s health problems and his reportedly somber mood in recent months, the fact that he took his own life was not officially announced by the Coroner’s Office until several days after the promoter’s death. While Dobersen concedes it might seem strange to confirm a suicide without simultaneously determining the means that a person took to do so, the situation is not necessarily out of the ordinary, according to the coroner. “There are questions when things happen out of the blue,” he said. “You work with the police to make sure this is what we think it is. We’ve got a couple more questions to answer.”

Bessie’s Hope Copacabana gala a music hit By Matthew Rowles Bessie’s Hope, an organization dedicated to bringing youth and the elderly together for the mutual goal of inclusion and happiness, had its gala on April 25 at the Grand Hyatt in downtown Denver. The night featured a silent and regular auction, Copa cigar girls, dinner and an excellent show starring the Four Lads. Divine Calling radio show host Stephanie Riggs served as the nights emcee and Sheila Gaylord of the Unity Temple delivered an invocation. During dinner, guests were treated to a piano solo by teen wunderkind Amy Zhou, a
volunteer of the organization who uses her musical abilities to serenade elders at local retirement homes. After dinner, Leonard Barret Jr. gave the crowd a great history lesson of Nat King Cole while singing some of his hits before the main attraction of the night, The Four Lads, came to the stage. Starting out with their hit song Istanbul (Not Constantinople), they made the crowd feel like they really were in the Copacabana. The event ended with a huge thank you to all the people and sponsors involved in Bessie’s Hope, and a wish for more great things to come.

DAM Luncheon by Design draws 300 to Ponte Hall By Glory Weisberg he Denver Art Museum’s Luncheon by Design attracted more than 300 people May 8 and that meant it was sold out to the very back walls of Ponte Hall. Gone for the most part are the spring high fashion hats that were d’rigeur in previous years and climbing each year is the number of men who attend. The featured speaker was New York-based interior designer, Eric Cohler, who comes from a wellheeled family of art lovers and designers. He had lots to say about his family, his career and the art he covets. So where does he personally get his motivation to create? “Inspiration comes from unlikely places, such as airports,” he said and we wonder if he must have loved our own DIA which has wonderful art lining its concourses. His interest in art is in the DNA of his free-spirited family. “Textiles are in my upbringing,” said. “Collecting is not stuff. My mom was a serial monogamist. She also had a number of lovers and she hung an ax above her bed.” And just in case you think he was exaggerating, among the many slides he showed was the one of that artsy ax right where he said it was. Among his many examples of great interior design and architecture, lots of it his own, was the suggestion that we should hang our paintings vertically, one above the

other because “If you hang paintings vertically they almost look three dimensional.” His credentials begin with a graduate degree from the Harvard School of Design. His clients include wealthy bluebloods and the striving first-generation successful people. “An art collector is not a hoarder,” he said, somewhat humorously,
fashion • philanthropy • home • health • lifestyle
among other chuckle provoking statements. The Kohler bathroom and sinkmaking firm hired Cohler to design a bathroom and a slide of his favorite was on the screen. “It’s a great place to wash the dog off,” Cohler, who has two large poodles, said. He said he’s had a serial number of apartments, now numbering 22 to date. “I have over 500 pieces of art and I bought every one of them on time,” he told us, while saying that today a person doesn’t have to be rich to be an art collector. He had another memorable quote when giving his opinion on the Internet, which allows art connoisseurs to buy pieces 24/7, but he warned, “You can be too much on Facebook and you can tweet too much,” and that he said, can destroy you. Lauren Cannon Davis, Alexis Shipman Hart and Rachelle Folsom chaired the luncheon, heading a committee that included Nancy Anschutz, Maureen Regan Cannon, Judy Fahrenkrog, Kathy Finley, Arlene Hirschfeld, Gayle Landis, Kalleen Malone, Jenna Stapleton, Vicki Myhren, Michele Right, Susan Noble and luncheon co-founder Lyn Lee.

Denver Health ‘NightShine’ gala features Train By Steven Weisberg he Denver Health Foundation’s black-tie gala “NightShine” was held at the National Western Events Center with 81 tables filled with attendees. The sparkling decor and arrangements spruced up the venue beyond expectations. Affable gala chair Pat Hamill, president and CEO of Oakwood Homes, delivered a nice presentation and got the crowd involved despite what appeared to be a serious sunburn. This year’s honorees were James and Pamela Crowe. The Crowes moved from Omaha to Denver in 1999 when Level 3 Communications relocated to Denver since James is their CEO. The event had the unusual distinction of featuring a nationally renowned and popular rock band, Train. A fair number of the seats above the dining area were filled with casually attired fans that purchased separate tickets just for the show, which subsequently proved energetic and fun.

From Bach ... To Rock, CSO Ball honors its musicians CSO gala co-chairs Lindsay and Bob Deibel
T
he Colorado Symphony Ball honored its musicians for their support while board co-chairs Mary Rossick Kern and Jerome Kern led the charge to develop a “sustainable business model” while reviewing the effect the orchestra is now having on the entire Front Range. Several years ago a small group of supporters and staff gathered to examine a plan for the symphony to perform at suburban venues, making it more accessible to a wider range of audiences. It was an ingenious idea and it worked. But it worked with the cooperation of the musicians who had to pack up and head for the hills and the prairie for those concerts. As the Kerns said in the ball program, “The next few years will represent experimentation, challenges and learning experiences as the organization redefines itself as a true orchestra of the 21st century.” For its welcoming of uncertainty and innovation, the musicians were honored at the ball with the 2013 Margaret Phipps Award. The award’s namesake served two terms as president of what was then the Denver Symphony Association. After dinner and auctions, it was

This CSO ball included rock ‘n’ roll in its agenda, truly going “From Bach…To Rock,” the gala title. The CSO welcomed veterans from the five military branches and their spouses gratis, honoring our heroes and acknowledging their sacrifices with turns on the dance floor decked out in their formal military garb. Lindsay and Bob Deibel, Jenni and Ed Haselden, Jilliann Parker and Rich Kylberg co-chaired the ball with financial support from an extensive corporate committee that included the chairs, as well as Julie Robsam, Dick Robinson, Peter Landgraff, Pocky Marranzino, Patrick Clay McKinstry, Bruce DiBiase, BJ Dyer, Susan Fakharzadeh, Rececca DeCook, Walt DeHaven, Norm Brownstein and Steve Farber, among others.

Biddinger retired from the university on March 31. Standing room only well-wishers included New College of Nursing Dean Dr. Sarah Thompson, faculty staff, and administrators from the college and the Anschutz campus, members of the college’s Advisory Board, and prominent individuals from the Denver community. Dean Thompson welcomed guests and spoke glowingly of Biddinger’s accomplishments at the college including her creation of a community advisory board and initiation of the Touched By A Nurse program for Ph.D. student scholarships. Other speakers included Dean Emerita Patricia Moritz, who attended with her husband, Frank Moritz, and described Biddinger’s many important contributions at the college, including raising $1.9 million for a rural health program, a rural health faculty endowed chair and graduate student scholarships, and $3 million for a comprehensive psychiatric mental health program, faculty endowed chair and professorship, and graduate scholarships. Biddinger created Touched By A Nurse from a first generous gift from local philanthropist, Erna Butler, who subsequently donated annual gifts to the program. The College of Nursing received additional gifts for Touched By A Nurse from Advisory Board members and from the proceeds of an annual Art of Nursing benefit initiated by Advisory Board

Women’s Library Association welcomes hometown author David Von Drehle By Scottie Taylor Iverson avid Von Drehle lives in Kansas City with his family, but he was raised in Aurora, attended Gateway High School and was the youngest sportswriter for The Denver Post at 17 years old. He graduated from the University of Denver with a double major in English and Philosophy. While at DU, he was editor of the Clarion student newspaper. He was the recipient of a Marshall Scholarship and spent two years at Oxford earning a master’s degree in Literature. He found journalism was a better fit in which to immerse himself. Von Drehle wrote for the Miami Herald and received several distinguished journalism awards, including one for being in the youngest category – a Livingston Award. In 1991, Von Drehle became the New York bureau chief for The Washington Post. In 2006, he became editorat large for TIME and contributes to National Public Radio’s Morning Edition. He has also written four books. Deadlock was a source book for the Emmy-award winning HBO movie Recount. His Triangle: The Fire That Changed America won several awards and was a New York Times Bestseller. He was back in town and appropriately at DU to share his latest - Rise to Greatness: Abraham Lincoln and America’s Most Perilous Year. The humble Von Drehle has carved a rise to greatness with his numerous acknowledgements and achievements. He thanked his mentor Bob Richardson in the English Department at DU and remarked about the astonishing transformation of the physical plant at the university. “A faculty that cares about its students, however, is unchanged,” he said. Von Drehle’s presentation to the Women’s Library Association shared a glimpse of the electrifying story month-by-month of Abraham Lincoln in 1862 – America’s most perilous year. It is rumored that Steven Spielberg wished he had consulted with Von Drehle and his book before his movie Lincoln and that Von Drehle actually attended the premiere.

Arapahoe celebrates 15 scholar-athletes in spring signing ceremony
By Tom Barry Recently, more than 1,200 students – over half of the school body, plus parents and faculty – showed up at Arapahoe High’s cafeteria for an annual event honoring student athletes. Steve Sisler, the school’s athletic director and an assistant principal, began the celebratory ceremony. Sisler began the ritual by saying how proud he and the community were of all of the 15 students who had maintained high grades while competing in their respective sports. Students sat together in the front
row, as they were announced oneby-one going up to the stage. Each of the students honored wore T-shirts representing the respective college or university they would be attending. “Some students signed formal letters of intent, while others had verbally expressed their intent to ‘walk-on’ to the respective teams,” said Sisler. “We honor them all.” Arapahoe’s Principal Natalie Pramenko congratulated the par-
ents as they walked to the stage. Janelle Weems, Sisler’s assistant, effectively planned and coordinated the lively and colorful event. In signing ceremonies this school year, Arapahoe has recognized 38 scholar-athletes. Most of the students have received academic scholarships to the places of higher learning. These individuals will attend schools that participate in NCAA Division 1 to Division 3 level programs.

Top10
Submitted by ALCC Times of drought compel us to be more aware not only of water, but all our natural resources. How do we use and enjoy our landscapes and also protect them? These sustainable concerns are reflected in the top ten landscape trends for 2013 reported by the Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado. Multipurposing plants. Plants that do more than just sit pretty in the yard are top picks. The new plants of choice save water, create shade, provide food, are good companions with other plants for their mutual benefit or they attract wildlife. Bottom line: multipurpose plants add more value to the landscape. Xeriscape renaissance. More consumers want yards that are designed, installed and maintained according to the 7 Principles of Xeriscape. They know that Xeriscape is not a set of plants or a garden style, but an environmental system that saves water over time. It’s cool to be square. Veggie gardeners are moving away from planting seeds in the traditional neat, long rows. Instead, they are grouping seeds and starter plants in squares. Keeping the plants closer together requires less water, slows evaporation and helps hold moisture in the soil longer. Preserve & repurpose. Whether restoring historical sites to their formal glory or freshening up tired landscapes, owners care about preserving their mature plants and repurposing bricks, flagstone and other landscape materials already on their property.

Grape hyacinth fared better than tulips during late winter blasts.
Colorado Landscape Trends for In the process, they uphold the original character of the place, save valuable plants and cut costs as well as waste. Save the bees. Worldwide concern about threats to the bee population is now a back-yard priority. More homeowners are asking landscape designers to create plant havens for bees, birds and beneficial insects. Drip is hip! When it comes to watering everything but the lawn, drip irrigation is the go-to water saver for annuals, edibles, perennials, shrubs and trees. Popping out the old pop-up sprinklers and spray heads and replacing them with drip irrigation can cut up to 75 percent of the water formerly used to maintain those areas. Wipe out weeds. In times of drought, every drop of water counts. More than ever, weeds are the landscape’s persona non grata that will compete for the water other plants need. This is the year to pull, zap and eradicate weeds. Brown ain’t all bad. In the heat of the summer, we may see faded and brown lawns due to having less water. “Browning out” is a coping strategy for traditional bluegrass lawns under stress.

They deal with the heat and less water by shutting down. Brown grass says the lawn has decided to go dormant until cooler temps return. Water when you can and know that brown really isn’t so bad. Brown grass is smart grass. Maximize microclimates. The south side of the house is typically warm and the north side is typically cool and shaded. The right plant in the right place saves both water and maintenance and produces plants that thrive because they love where they live. Save Mother Nature’s AC. Trees are the natural canopies that shade our homes, reduce energy costs, create fresh air and add curb appeal. The biggest financial investment in most landscapes, they provide many returns that keep our cities clean and cool. Reward their kindness by giving them adequate water and regular care that staves off insects and disease. That’s the best way to hug a tree.

A less colorful spring Submitted by ALCC Along the Front Range, snowfall on May 1 feels late for a blast of winter. Yet, do you remember 2002 when we had snow on May 24? Most of us hope history won’t repeat itself as we really are done with the white season and ready to move on to the green one. Before we get too carried away, however, we should consider what this week’s record low temps and snow mean for spring color this year. Some plants definitely look fried by the frost - but are they? The plants most susceptible to damage are the ones that bring early spring color. Many daffodils and tulips that weren’t insulated by the snow had flower tissue frozen. Sadly, they are a loss. Lower growing grape hyacinth, on the other hand, seems to have fared better by being protected under the snow. Other spring-blooming plants common lilac, forsythia, viburnum and dogwood - will be the most impacted by the record low temps. If their blooms were frost-damaged, there could be little to no color on them this year. Late-blooming varieties, such as Miss Canada lilac,
may not be affected. The microclimate, exposure and protection for each plant will also factor in. Plants in warmer, more protected locations may fare better than those more exposed to the elements. Because of all these factors, the outcome for some plants is simply “wait and see.” Fruit trees and ornamental flowering trees, such as crabapple and ornamental pear, may not bloom at all if the flowers were zapped by the cold. This, of course, will mean less fruit production, for apple and pear trees, too. Pruning any of these spring-flowering plants now will not “force” more blooms. They set their blooms only one time of year and that is in late summer. Roses, fortunately, are a different story. With roses, you can cut back the damaged material and wait for new growth. Roses should still flower this year, though maybe not as vigorously as usual. The good news in this scenario is that later-blooming perennials such as daisies, peonies and daylilies may do better because of abundant spring moisture. And of course, the moisture will be just as good for ornamental grasses, shrubs and trees. While we may enjoy less spring color this year, there’s still a silver lining in this cloud. Mother Nature gave some very thirsty landscapes a much-needed dousing of moisture. When the peonies and the daisies emerge in all their glory, the frosted tulips will be just another faded memory. Nature moves on - and so must we. For more information, visit www.alcc.com.

Cherry Creek High School advances in state baseball playoffs
O
By Tom Barry nce again, Cherry Creek High School tops the state’s baseball ranking as the No. 1 team with an overall record of 19 and 2. The Bruins won 14 straight league games this season and are ranked 47th nationally. On May 11, Creek played a regional playoff game at home beating Castle View, 6 to 3, advancing to the next game that afternoon. Veteran Creek Coach Marc Johnson could be heard calling out to the pitcher Dimitri Casas, a senior, “Don’t make it happen – Let it happen.” Excited Creek teammates stood along the fence in the dugout when they were at bat encouraging teammates. Fans were able to view the action on a stadium-like screen in left field during the game. Garth Jax, a Creek parent, kept busy with some volunteers during the first game barbecuing jumbo shrimp wrapped in bacon adjacent the hamburgers on the grill. Jax gave away the shrimp to Bruins parents. He and his wife Elizabeth touted their son Griffin, a senior pitcher, who has been awarded a scholarship to attend the United States Air Force Academy next fall, playing baseball. In the last playoff game of the day, Creek played the winner of the Fort Collins vs. Ralston Valley match-up.

The Bruins shut out the Ralston Valley Mustangs by a score of 13 to 0. Jax pitched in the second contest of the day and contributed to the victory with his teammates. Creek will next play Grandview (17-3) at 12:30 p.m. on May 17, at All City Stadium in Denver. The state championship is set for May 25.

Pest predictions for 2013 Submitted by Steve Geist, Swingle Plant Pathologist hat’s in store for your landscape? The answer to this question is somewhat predicated on how the remainder of spring plays out. Cool and wet springs bring more foliage diseases and aphids. Warm and dry weather encourages canker diseases and mites. New pests that simply make things look ratty and others that threaten to send us over the horticultural cliff pique our interest. It is not all gloom and doom. Have you heard about Dutch elm disease in recent years? This disease has wiped out the American elm population in much of the eastern United States. But we still have magnificent elms here, and disease incidence is much reduced in recent years. It seems that the bark beetle primarily responsible for spreading the disease has been displaced. Another possible respite for elms is a predator showed up last year and greatly reduced the elm flea weevil population. Flea weevils didn’t kill, but certainly made elms look ratty. While elms may have won some hurdles, aspen trees continue to be picked upon. The last two summers have been unusually hot and aspen
W
haven’t fared well. Now it appears that there is a tiny bark beetle attacking weakened trees. We don’t know much about this insect – if it is causing damage or simply finishing off the carnage. Another pest from the mountain communities of Aspen and Vail may be making inroads along the front-range. This insect is called willow scale and is an aggressive insect that initially makes aspen trees look unthrifty. But left untreated can kill trees. Japanese beetle damage falls under the ratty category. Hundreds of brightly green colored beetles may congregate on individual rose bushes. Roses are favored but the beetles aren’t picky – they will dine upon some 300 species of landscape plants including turf grass. Currently only known in south and central Denver, but there is movement. What about the horticultural cliff? Things don’t look good at all for walnut trees, pines are threatened and ash trees are on a close watch. For several years walnuts have been threatened by a disease called 1,000 cankers of walnut. A tiny beetle spreads a fungus that causes a dead spot behind the bark. Thousands of beetles visit an individual walnut tree depositing disease spores in the tree; the individual dead spots
Tips on how to control pest this spring to ensure a beautiful yard this year. coalesce killing the tree. We don’t have a good control for this one, but pesticides reduce its spread. Already in Boulder and Denver, the communities of Loveland and Fort Collins saw devastation in 2012. A few months back we alerted you to the pine wilt disease caused by the pinewood nematode. Not to be overly melodramatic here but this disease has the potential to wipe out the Austrian and Scotch pine population in eastern Colorado. Apparently particularly warm springs encourage disease incidence. Currently eastern and central Kansas and Nebraska have been hit hard. There are controls for the disease however they consist of vigorous chemotherapy. Ash, what’s the rub here? Well,
currently nothing in Colorado however tens of millions of ash have been destroyed in the upper mid west and central United States. The culprit is the emerald ash borer which is not to be confused with the lilac ash borer. Lilac ash borer has been here for years and is relatively easily controlled. Emerald ash is extra ordinarily aggressive and difficult to control. The closest point to Colorado is a new infestation in Kansas City, Kansas. The borer left to its own devises only spreads at the rate of one mile per year meaning it will get here in 650 years. Most of us won’t be around then. But human spread through firewood movement has been the primary dissemination thus far.

By Jan Wondra n May 8, Mayor Doug Tisdale inked an agreement that will establish a twoand-one-half acre open space area in the heart of Cherry Hills Village. The agreement, between the Village and HN Partners, Ltd, will establish the Alan Hutto Memorial Commons adjacent to the new Joint Public Safety Facility, across the street from the city’s venerable old Village Center. “This continues our efforts to protect parts of Cherry Hills Village as permanent open space,” said Mayor Tisdale. “This country

feel, the open spaces of our past, are integral to what makes Cherry Hills Village so bucolic and beautiful.” The property, officially designated as 115 Meade Lane, was purchased from HN Partners for extremely favorable terms. HN Partners acquired the property last year, contemplating possible open space intent. HN Partners Manager Frank Hutto and his wife Holly stipulated in the purchase contract that this area be named in honor of their son, Alan Hutto, who died at age 9 in 2006 as a third-grader at Cherry Hills Elementary School. “Frank and Holly Hutto

They wanted to create a space in the heart of the Village, near Cherry Hills Village Elementary School, that would serve as a tribute and a memorial to their late son, Alan Hutto,” said Tisdale. “Alan was a natural performer, an actor, director, singer, costumer—all within the incredibly short span of his life.” The space will officially be known as the Alan Hutto Memorial Commons. “The City Council decided to call this a Commons because it is intended to be a special
Construction begins on Justice Center
improvements Project will connect both court buildings
Construction began this week to connect the lobbies of Courthouses I and II at the Arapahoe County Justice Center in Centennial. When completed, the renovations will include two securityscreening stations, a common lobby and a centralized entrance in the middle of campus. The grass courtyard between the two courthouses, located at 7325 S. Potomac St., will be closed until January 2014 when construction on the $5.4 million project is expected to be finished. The project will also include a four-stop elevator and sally port on the east side of Courthouse II. Work will begin later this spring to improve the employee and visitor parking lots. Once completed, the project is expected to better accommodate the multitude of jurors, visitors, attorneys and staff who visit both courthouses daily. Previously, visitors have often had to wait in line outside both buildings to pass

through security. During construction, visitors are strongly encouraged to allow for extra time to pass through security. A temporary entrance will be located on the west side of Courthouse I and on the southwest front double-door entrance to Courthouse II. Signs will direct visitors to the entrances. The expansion of the lobbies and centralized security system was identified as part of a multiphase project to address the growing needs of the court system. Arapahoe County, like most counties in Colorado and across the nation, is grappling with a shortage of court and jail space. Since 2005, the county has been working to determine how best to meet the space needs. In 2009, the county completed a $13.8 million expansion that provided 10 additional courtrooms, one expanded courtroom, a new jury room and improved court efficiency by consolidating most court functions. The improvements to the Justice Center have been completed without raising taxes.

The contract calls for the construction of a simple flat surface area in a corner of the property and a natural, open air sloped grassy area facing it. “The donors of the property wanted a place where, for example, the kids at Cherry Hills Elementary could gather in the summertime and put on their own little informal shows for friends

and family, much like Alan Hutto used to do at home,” Tisdale said. Terms of the contract establish a July close. The Alan Hutto Memorial Commons is scheduled to be dedicated in August. Exact terms of the purchase by the city were not publicly available at press time, but the purchase price has been disclosed as $100,000, with the difference between the fair market value and the purchase price intended to be a donation to the city by HN Partners, Ltd.

ARAPAHOE COUNTY NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Use by Special Review for Petroleum Products Gathering System Case No. U13-001
PROPOSAL: The applicant and owner, Bronco Pipeline Company, is requesting approval of a Use by Special Review for a Petroleum Products Gathering System.
NOTICE IS HEARBY GIVEN that on May 21, 2013 the Planning Commission of Arapahoe County will hold a Public Hearing at 6:30 p.m., or as soon as possible thereafter, in the Arapahoe Room, Lima Plaza, 6954 S. Lima St., Centennial, CO 80112, at which all interested persons will be given an opportunity to be heard concerning the above-described application for a Use by Special Review, Case No. U13001.
The applicant has applied for a Use by Special Review, which is known as Petroleum Products Gathering System. This project will consist of a fiber optics cable, oil pipeline, gas pipeline, and produced water pipeline that will be underground in a 75-foot easement, along with a 25-foot construction easement. There are three main trunk lines that generally go in a north-south direction that are located in portions of the following Sections 1, 3-5, 7,8, 10, 12, 15, 18,19, 22, 26-30, 33, 35, and 36 of Township 4 South, Range 64 West and Sections 7, 18, 19, and 30 of Township 4 South, Range 63 West and Sections 1-4, 11,12, 14, and 23 of Township 5 South, Range 64 West, in unincorporated Arapahoe County. This petroleum gathering system will take oil, gas and produced water from individual well pads to processing facilities outside of Arapahoe County.

Love of movies inspires young writer, director By Clarissa Crozier love of film that started with going to movies with his father and creating and posting comedic videos online has blossomed for Zach Eastman, a 2009 graduate of Cherry Creek High School. With experience and opportunities gained at CCHS and several years at Colorado Film School, Eastman wrote and directed a movie that recently achieved national distribution, Twombley, screened at Film Festival Flix’s April events in cities across the U.S. Film Festival Flix, a production of MouseTrap Films, brings an independent feature film and a short film once each month to the Madden Museum of Art. Twombley depicts a veteran radio star struggling with the transition from radio to television in the mid1950s. Eastman says this personal story helped him realize his calling. “I found I am a dramatic filmmaker,” he said. Eastman has delivered his films to audiences through self-distribution. Twombley is the first exception because this short film was presented at the 2012 Starz Denver Film Festival and then re-edited for Film Festival Flix. Twombley was chosen as FFF National Short Film selection for April and is being shown in 25 markets across the U.S. Eastman attended screenings in Pasadena, North Hollywood and Greenwood Village. Born in California and always planning to return there to produce films, Eastman said, “It seems like a dream. It was surreal to have this happen.” The original version of Twombley ran 14 minutes when it premiered at Colorado Film School in May 2011 and was awarded Best Film, Best Editor and Best Advanced Production in the 2012 CFS Student Show. The script was written and directed by Eastman. Cinematographer was Michael Sharon, a classmate at CCHS and CFS. Sharon and Eastman worked together to create the film as Sharon’s thesis film for CFS. Twombley was shortened to 10 minutes for FFF. “We decided to enter it in FFF when Michael Sharon came across [the opportunity]. We decided to try it, but had to cut the film down by four minutes,” Eastman said. “It took us three weeks to edit it down. As an artist, it is hard to lose part of the script to editing. But, when it showed in Pasadena and North Hollywood, I knew it was worth it.”

Eastman mentioned that the full version will soon be available.
Film influence begins with father, interest grows in high school Eastman’s love of film began when he saw movies with his father, Dale Eastman. “My parents [Dale and Jeanne] have been very supportive,” he said. “My father took me to movies he probably shouldn’t have, but the movies inspired me and expanded my mind.” He talks with admiration and appreciation of the time he and his father spent at the movies. “One of my best memories was when dad was sick. He said he would still take me and he did. We saw a double feature… but he had to leave halfway through. So I watched the movies alone, but I definitely left inspired.” His high school experiences combined theater and video production. “David Gamblin was my [video] teacher,” Eastman said. “He is the reason that I am where I am at. He taught me to tell a story with film. I took classes of his that I was not even registered for. But, I excelled when I was finally able to take one of his classes.” In Gamblin’s video class, students create short films. “It is all about script writing and putting shots together,” Gamb-
lin said. “Zach’s scripts were more thought out than other student’s. His [films were] not always the best, but he showed lots of potential. “Zach spent four years in my classroom, but he knew coming into high school this is what he wanted to do. Zach stands out in my mind. I knew his interest the minute he walked into my classroom; the way he talked about movies and cinematography was at a higher lever than the general student.” And, Eastman also got a taste of success through competitions among video students at CCHS where Gamblin presented awards in the true Oscar style each semester and encouraged students to enter their films in the now defunct Denver Academy Film Festivals for Youth and the Scholastic Arts competition in film. Gamblin calls Eastman a “filmaphile” and said Eastman’s activity of choice was watching films and talking about them with friends. “He would come in during off hours and discuss films,” Gamblin said. “He would form an opinion, compare, and try to think at a higher level. Sometimes I would go and watch a film again to have something intelligent to say. He knew more about the independent filmmakers than I did.” When CCHS staged Little Shop of Horrors, a video supplemented Audrey’s dreams in the play and was the first film project produced by Eastman.
“It was flashbacks of her memories. In one shot I wrapped all of the furniture in Saran Wrap. [My video] got the biggest laughs for all three nights of production,” Eastman said. During high school he continued to make films and upload them to the Internet where they secured a following. He also connected with other independent filmmakers through online chats and interviews. That is how he met American screenwriter, producer and director Kevin Smith and earned the opportunity to work with him. At age 16 Eastman worked as an assistant and ran errands for Smith.
Personal style discovered With a couple of years of training and experimentation at CFS, Eastman says he has discovered his dramatic filmmaking style. “I just want to make movies. When I was younger I watched Star Wars, Titanic, Goonies, and loved the idea of recording people doing these things and creating a reality from nothing,” Eastman said. “I want to tell stories that don’t lie to people – reality.” His most recent film, The Boy Who Stares, has completed filming and will now go into edits to create a 10-minute short. The film tells the story of a community reflecting on a school shooting 10 years later. “It is a story about an issue and a time and my reflection,” Eastman said. “It is self-expression that lets you know how I feel about things.
The power of cinema, the emphasis of some part of the cinema, something you may have forgotten, it will help you remember.” Eastman plans to submit The Boy Who Stares to various film festivals and hopes for public distribution. Five role models have influenced Eastman: John Houston, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith and Edgar Wright. Of Scorsese, Eastman said, “He helped me get through high school. His people are very full of themselves, and I soaked up the intellectual.” Of Quentin Tarantino, he said, “Jackie Brown (1997) is the greatest crime, romance, action drama I have ever seen. Every character is unique.” Adding a sixth director, Eastman said Paul Thomas Anderson inspires him to keep doing what he does. Eastman produces through his own company, Take 38 Productions. However, he is not done. “Take 38 Productions will be folded into and re-envisioned into a distribution company for short films,” he said. Though the name is being decided, he said the company, “will be for creation of feature films.” Though Eastman’s primary passion is to write and direct, his ultimate goal is to help independent films be seen through distribution. “I also want to help others make movies I can’t make – like horror. If a real script has merit, let’s get this made. I will shepherd the film,” he said. Gamblin saw the writer in Eastman. “He was most interested in writing the scripts. I also saw a little bit of a producer and director when he assigned other kids to the roles. He always wanted to team up with kids who were talented,” Gamblin said. Looking to the future, Gamblin said, “I am really excited to see where Zach ends up. We are all rooting for him. He is pursuing his dream.” Eastman plans to move to L.A. to, “write and really form and figure out scripts I am tying to write.” He will generate and work on new ideas while continuing to direct his own films and help others where opportunities arise. And, his love of film moves him to encourage others to go to the movies. “Even owning hundreds of movies, I would rather go the theater to see a movie,” he said. “Go see a movie. Even one a month helps out this business.”
86 percent of LPS third-graders proficient or advanced on TCAP reading District’s second highest-ever scores outpace state average Submitted by Littleton Public Schools Littleton Public Schools third graders once again posted very high scores on this year’s Transitional Colorado Assessment Program reading test. Eighty-six percent of all LPS third graders scored proficient or advanced on 2013 TCAP reading, compared to 73 percent at the state level.
Test-result highlights include: • Gains were made in six of 15 schools • Four schools showed substantial increases (3 percent or more)
in students scoring proficient or advanced • Nine schools experienced a decrease in students scoring proficient and advanced. Of those, two schools had only minimal (1 to 2 percent) decreases. Of the nine schools experiencing a decrease, six still perform at greater than 80 percent proficient and advanced • Thirteen percent of LPS students scored advanced. All but three schools exceeded the state average for students scoring in the advanced category • Five of 15 schools had 90 percent or greater students scoring proficient or advanced • Building on last year’s 7 percent increase in students with disabilities scoring proficient or
advanced, this year showed an additional 3 percent increase in this subgroup, a total of a 10 percent increase over two years.
Intense literacy focus LPS continues its focus on literacy through the Pyramid of Interventions, which identifies literacy interventions that are proven to be effective for all students, as well as additional literacy interventions that are proven to be effective for students with more challenging needs. Professional Learning Communities are also a contributing factor in the district’s success in closing the gap. PLCs provide time for teachers to have conversations about student learning needs. This time helps teachers
customize help for each student. LPS has initiated a strong focus on literacy at the elementary level. The five elementary schools serving students with the greatest needs have had five years of intensive literacy training and intervention. Other elementary schools have had a literacy focus for three or four years. As a result, overall LPS third-grade reading scores have steadily increased or remained very high. This is the second year the TCAP was given. The test is designed to bridge the assessment on the former Colorado State Standards to the new standards. As a district, LPS has an achievement goal that states, “90 percent of all students K-10
will be on or above grade level in reading, math, writing and science. The achievement gap in student performance will be cut in half. Students not at grade level will exhibit catch-up growth. All students will achieve at high levels.” TCAP, along with other assessments like Measures of Academic Progress, as well as classroom grades, are used to determine grade-level performance. The 2013 TCAP scores are preliminary and subject to change due to the fact that the student biographical-data verification process has not occurred. Final data will be available at the end of July with the release of the other content area and grade level results.

Facilities project underway at Kent Denver
O
n April 23, the Cherry Hills Village Planning and Zoning Commission heard a presentation from Jerry Walker, associate head of school at Kent Denver, detailing plans for a new artificial turf surface and six-lane synthetic track the school plans to install this summer on one of its existing campus fields. The commission granted conditional approval for the project pending final approval from City Council. “We are excited about the opportunity to add another turf surface for our varsity athletes and a synthetic track for our growing track team,” said Walker. “Turf surfaces are safer, use nearly no water compared to grass, and will provide our athletes with competition-level surface on which to practice. The track will give our track team a home here on campus, and also provide the entire Kent Denver community with a near year-round facility for walking, jogging and running.” The school has also recently begun an extensive renovation of the upper school library, which will include more classrooms, collaborative study spaces for students, and a new Office of Digital Technology. The new space will be known as the Duncan Center.

Duncan ‘81, president of the Kent Denver board of trustees and a Cherry Hills Village resident. “This renovation will add more 21st century facilities to our world-class fwaculty and programs.”
The newly renovated space, which has been fully funded by generous donations from Kent Denver families, will be built over the summer and is scheduled to open in time for the start of the 2013-14 school year. The Duncan Center will also be open to more than 250 Breakthrough Kent Denver students
who use the campus on Saturdays throughout the school year and five days a week during the summer. Breakthrough Kent Denver is a tuition free, educational nonprofit program that provides increased educational opportunities for under-served middle school students from Denver Public Schools.
PIN brunch focuses on giving back
Submitted by Bobbie Turner On May 7, the Parent Information Network of Cherry Creek Schools held its annual brunch to honor several people who have given back to their communities in meaningful ways. The morning began with the announcement of this year’s Sherry S. Sargent Scholarship recipient. The $1,000 scholarship was given to Mallory Evans of Eaglecrest High School. Mallory, a leukemia survivor, was praised for her motivation in overcoming serious health setbacks. “She has a quiet confidence, intellectual demeanor and maturity beyond her years,” noted Mallory’s English teacher in comments read by former PIN board member Debbie Aragon. “Mallory understands the importance of giving back to her community. She is an ambassador for the Children’s Miracle Network and has worked with the Youth Advisory Council for Children’s Hospital Colorado.” Mallory will study Art History at the University of Colorado at Boulder this fall. The scholarship was created to honor Sargent, who helped found PIN in 1978. Retiring Superintendent Mary Chesley spoke about PIN’s impact on the community and thanked the organization for its role in disseminating accurate, vital information to families over the years. Chesley reiterated a core value of her family that has applied equally to her tenure with the district. “I’ve always told my girls that we don’t love things, we love people,” she said. “[Cherry Creek Schools] isn’t a thing, it’s 108 square miles full of people.” Next on the agenda, Steve Cohen presented awards for the Community Asset Program’s two asset champions. Awards went to Chesley and Eric Flor, the assistant su-
“We continue to be a private school with a public purpose,” said Head of School Todd Horn. “The Duncan Center will further empower us to help close the digital divide that keeps students from under-resourced schools from realizing their full potential in our rapidly changing, informationbased society and workplaces.”

Cohen thanked Chesley for leading the district through challenging economic times and for inspiring 51,000 students to think, learn, achieve and care. Flor was lauded for his thoughtful leadership and for taking the time to notice and celebrate the little things that make a difference in a child’s life. Carla Johnson was recognized for her service as PIN’s chairperson for the past two years. Although she is stepping down from that role, she will continue on with the board. Barb Goettelman will be PIN’s new chairperson. The keynote presenter, author and educator Mary Ronan, spoke about “Loving, Limiting and Leading Your Child with Joy and Laughter.” Ronan talked about the impact of our culture on children and ways parents can pursue healthy family dynamics. “Love needs to be firm,” she said. “Whether they’re getting straight A’s or the police just came

Photos by Peter Jones to your house, our kids need to feel the firmness of our love.” When explaining the importance of setting limits, Ronan observed, “Our culture rushes kids to grow up fast. The limits we set as parents are the only thing that can slow that down. … We’re the guardrails on their fast road. The way we love them provides the boundaries.” Ronan believes that if parents are going to set limits, they also need to have fun. “Laugh together as much as you can,” she advised. Along this vein, she encouraged parents to get outside more with their kids. “Take a bike ride through the neighborhood or play basketball with them. Physical activity can get even teenage boys talking,” Ronan said. “When we’re connected to the natural order of things, it’s so much easier for us to have joy. Technology doesn’t give us joy.” She also stressed that parents need to lead their kids – and not the other way around. “We need to set the tone for the family— for how we deal with hardship and how we manage pressure,” Ronan said, adding that when
parents set the tone with firmness and love, their children will follow. Reflecting the overarching theme of the brunch, Ronan encouraged parents to “Get actively involved in something that matters to you so your children can know what it means to give back.” Ronan puts these words into practice as a mother, nurse, educator and author in her home state of Connecticut.

West Middle School team advances to DI Global Finals Local students need help getting there
A
fter winning honors for creativity, teamwork, critical thinking and problem-solving in local, state and regional tournaments, “DO or DI” has earned the right to travel to Destination Imagination’s Global Finals, the largest creative thinking and problem solving competition in the world, and represent our community competing May 2226 in Knoxville, TN. Team members are: Avery Blackmon, 14, Meghan Decker, 13, Alexander Howard, 14, Kayla Rondinelli, 13, Ashley Sayre, 14, and Jack Sironen, 13. The team members have logged more than 100 hours of practice, rehearsals and brainwork, outside of school, plus additional hours inschool, to compete in this prestigious competition. They must produce all their work without adult or teacher input. They will compete with other teams in “Changes in Real-I-Tee,” one of seven, open-ended challenges that require young people to apply science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), in addition to improvisation, theater arts, writing, project management, communication, innovation, teamwork and community service. “It’s exciting to be able to compete with other teams from around the world, and to be able to show our skills and creativity. But it’s also a responsibility to be global thinkers,

innovators and help create a better future,” said team member Alex Howard. “I’m so proud of these kids,” said Team Manager Carol Decker. “They’ve put in the sweat and tears and time and they’ve done this alone. They are an amazing group of talented teens and we are lucky to have them as future leaders, here in our own community.” Destination Imagination, formerly Odyssey of the Mind, has had a positive impact on more than 1.5 million young people and adults who have benefitted from taking part in its acclaimed Challenge Program. This year, another 100,000 young people have competed in tournaments throughout the U.S. and in 30 countries to earn a spot at the Global
Finals competition in May. DO or DI’s team members are among more than 8,000 students representing more than 1,250 teams that will advance to Global Finals, which will be held at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville May 2226. “The Destination Imagination Program allows students K-College to learn and experience the creative process. Quantitative reasoning, problem solving, risk taking, collaboration, presentations and thinking on your feet are some of the important skills learned in the program,” said Chuck Cadle, CEO. This year, National Geographic’s world-renowned author and photographer, Joel Sartore, will be addressing the participants at the Global Fi-
nals Opening Ceremony. This year’s Global Finals Innovation Expo will house engaging exhibits from NASA, Michigan Tech’s Mindtrekkers, 3M and many other innovative companies. In addition, participants will have a chance to explore the depths of our planet’s oceans and learn about environmental conservation through the 3M-sponsored, interactive “Explore the Uncharted” exhibit. Destination Imagination is an educational program where student teams are immersed in the creative process needed to solve open-ended challenges, and then present their solutions at regional and state tournaments. If they win at those levels, they may receive an invitation to Global Finals.
“The DI competition requires students to work through some very demanding critical thinking and problem solving assignments that strengthen our educational systems by enhancing the learning processes taking place in the classroom,” said Cadle. “We’ve seen the development of superior aptitudes in analytical thinking, leadership, project management, teamwork, communication, research and innovation in hundreds of thousands of youth since our organization’s inception almost three decades ago, and we believe Destination Imagination has the potential to bridge the gap between what is taught in our schools and the thinking skills our youth will need to succeed in the world of the future.” These local students need your support to get to Tennessee to represent Greenwood Village.

St. Mary’s Academy teams qualify for Destination Imagination Global Finals
Submitted by SMA Destination Imagination, commonly referred to as “DI,” has been teaching the creative process from imagination to innovation since 1999. St. Mary’s Academy had 12 teams participating in this year’s competition including three non-competitive teams from kindergarten through second grade. DI is more than just the performance, it is a process. The pedagogy of St. Mary’s Academy complements the DI philosophy with a focus on thinking outside the box, identifying many answers to a question, teamwork, open workspaces with no desks, collaboration, and dedicated, loving parents. The exceptional DI program is coordinated through third grade teacher Barb Peister, a seasoned specialist in all things DI. “Having been a part of DI for decades, it’s in my blood. Often times in my classroom, a student gets stuck on something and I can tap into my bottomless DI ‘files’ to address it,” Peister said. After so many years and teams, one may tire of something that requires so much work and personal sacrifice. But with DI, things remain fresh because each team is unique and has a dynamic approach to its work. St. Mary’s Academy has a long history of receiving recognitions at Regionals, which was true this year as eight teams qualified for the State Competition. Three of the teams finished third place or above qualifying them for Global Finals in May, with notable finishes for three additional teams in 5th and 6th Places. SMA Global

DI encourages individuals to shine within the team structure with a talent or specialty. This was illustrated on this same team with live violinists and a keyboard player. The In Disguise Challenge is always an SMA favorite and this year’s Tongue Twister DI Sisters performed well throughout the competition.
