The Town of Parker’s annual Arbor Day celebration at McCabe Meadows Park was a perfect way for families to finally enjoy some spring weather. Julie Wassell, special events supervisor for the town, said the April 27 event drew a record 200 people, and more volunteers join every year. Sixty trees were planted along the Cherry Creek Regional trail just east of South Parker Road and Indian Pipe Lane.

A new Parker Library will be built on land purchased by the Town of Parker. The partnership, announced April 30, will make the long-awaited expansion of the library happen much sooner than expected. The 2008 defeat of a ballot measure to fund the construction of a combined library and civic center where the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center now stands put Douglas County Libraries on a three- to five-year plan. Now that the town has stepped in, the library could be open by late 2014, said Jamie LaRue, director of Douglas County Libraries. “The library managed to put the money away, waiting for the right moment,” he said. Parker Town Council, which has made it a priorLaRue ity to turn the downtown area into a prominent creative district with a thriving business culture, approved a purchase and sale agreement in February to buy 9.39 acres of land near Mainstreet and Pine Drive for $2 million. The town will retain ownership of the property and plans to add retail elements and public amenities to complement the library, Mayor Mike Waid said. “The town is very excited to be entering into this partnership with Douglas County Libraries to bring the citizens of Parker and the citizens of Douglas County something that they have asked for for quite some time,” he said.

Man enjoys spending his golden years in classroom 80-year-old volunteer does his part for students at Pioneer Elementary By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com In a perfect world, every elementary school would have a “Mr. Charlie.” Charlie Thoma retired 27 years ago, but he had no intention of leaving the workforce entirely. Instead, he dedicated his time, patience and brain to helping young schoolchildren overcome struggles in the classroom. Even at 80 years old, Thoma seems to have boundless energy and enthusiasm for pitching in around Pioneer Elementary School. After stints as a computer lab teacher in the Littleton and Cherry Creek school districts, he found himself in Parker, and within three months, had landed a parttime gig at Pioneer assisting children with individual learning needs. That was more than 13 years ago.

Paula Haugerud, the principal’s secretary and former volunteer coordinator for Pioneer, knows how rare it is to have the same person helping out for an extended duration. Typically, the parent of a student will volunteer, but leave once the child moves on to a different school. “When I started here, he was a part of the school,” said Haugerud, whose two boys were taught by “Mr. Charlie,” as he is known around the prekindergarten-to-fifth-grade school. Aside from the joy of helping children learn, Thoma’s reasons for coming week in and week out are threefold. The first is “job satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment,” which was lacking in his career as a middle manager for what was then US West, the Denver-based telecommunications company. The second reason is, the work keeps his brain sharp, and the third is that the schedule provides structure. Thoma earns a small paycheck for his Tuesday-through-Thursday visits, but sets the record straight: “I’m not in it for the money.” That much is evident when looking at the organization of a folder that never leaves his side. It’s filled with notes about where to be and when, and memos about subjects in which students need the most attention. He usually works with kids in groups of three to five. Haugerud says Thoma’s services are invaluable. He goes where he is needed, whether it’s reading to preschoolers, help-

The tutoring sessions are short, but Thoma’s intervention has enabled countless children to get over academic hurdles. Charlie continues on Page 25

Teen stage production isn’t child’s play They file onto the stage, in red-andwhite collared shirts, 10 young women and men intent on provoking indignation among the hundreds of sophomores in the audience. Their words overlap into layers, resounding, pulsing, reverberating: It is happening. It is around us. There is abuse. There is assault. We are victims. We can fight it … Feel the outrage in this room. Then: “If you are holding a card with the number five on it, please stand.” Across the auditorium, boys and girls slowly, unsurely, rise. One in five high school students reports being physically or sexually abused, or both, by a dating partner, students are told. “If you are standing,” a voice says from the stage, “you are giving our statistic a visual image. Standing does not necessarily depict your future.” But, if you don’t pay attention, it could. On a recent morning, the Encore Players, an acting troupe comprised of juniors and seniors from Chaparral High School in Parker, presented a 20-minute performance called “The Outrage” to sophomore students at another school. Its purpose is to educate about teen dating violence, a problem on the rise — to define in no uncertain terms the meaning of rape and sexual assault. “It’s such a powerful message to share with kids,” said Ann Carter, director of the Women’s Crisis and Family Outreach Center in Douglas County. It becomes even more powerful when teens themselves tell the story. Initially, there was a bit of awkwardness among the actors. “I was a little uncomfortable with it at first,” junior Alex Soto said. “It covers topics people don’t usually bring up. You don’t talk about things like this in everyday

conversation.” But then came the education piece: “I was pretty shocked,” senior Sam Larson said. “I had no idea the extent to which this is a problem.” And, finally, the realization they could make a difference: “A theater isn’t necessarily for entertainment purposes,” junior Anne Heart said. “It’s for getting a message across.” Their teacher, David Peterson, agreed. Besides dealing with an issue that could affect them, he said, the production “is a wonderful experience for students to learn about the social change that can come from an art form like theater. … Hearing that your performance has helped someone is a powerful experience.” “The Outrage” also demonstrates the power of community working together to create change, in this case an organization that works to prevent domestic violence and a school district. Carter, from the women’s center, had seen a YouTube clip of “The Outrage” and immediately thought it would be an effective educational tool. “Teen violence tends to get hidden — they think that’s just part of growing up, that it’s not a big deal,” Carter said. But it’s learned behavior, and that can carry into adulthood. So, the center bought the rights to the script about two years ago and approached Peterson about having his students perform it at a gala fundraiser. The performance touched several audience members so much they provided seed money to

produce it in high schools. The Douglas County School District agreed to pilot it this school year in three high schools. Next school year, the Encore Players will perform for sophomores in all of the district’s high schools, always accompanied by someone from the women’s center to answer questions and provide resources. “Relationship safety … is a topic we all value, and all our kids could benefit from hearing about it,” said Staci McCormack, the district’s student wellness coordinator. “Kids might not be in it (violence), but they are affected, they are impacted, because it is around them.” And because of technology, “our generation has a lot more diverse forms of dating violence,” junior Kirsten Brandes said. Texting. The Internet. Social media. They all can make it easier for abuse to happen. Lynn Adams from the women’s center told students at the performance the story of a 10th-grade girl who received 17 threatening texts, including one of a gun, from her ex-boyfriend because they broke up. “When things like that happen, it’s pretty serious,” she said. “It could potentially ruin your life.” The incidence of dating violence among teens is growing, according to the Centers for Disease Control. It reports 25 percent of teens say they are victims of dating violence, whether it be emotional, psychological, physical or sexual, and 54 percent have witnessed such violence among their peers. Carter wants teens to know unequivocally those relationships are not OK. “You need to have a respectful relationship where both parties have a voice, where both parties are empowered to make decisions to have the relationship go in the way they both want it to go.” In its 20 minutes, “The Outrage” covers a lot of ground. Woven among short scenes that depict a boyfriend’s physical abuse and how to get help are these eye-opening statements:

sweepstakes

• One in four teenage girls in a relationship say they have gone further sexually than they wanted to because of pressure • Eighty percent of teens consider verbal abuse “a serious issue” for their age group • Fifty-four percent of parents say they have not talked to their child about dating violence • One in three teenagers say they know a friend or peer who has been hit, punched, kicked, slapped, strangled or physically hurt by his or her partner • Eight of 10 female survivors of rape know their rapist as a boyfriend, friend or casual acquaintance And then there’s this one: One woman is abused every nine seconds. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. To the Encore members, the statistics on the page have become real. Brandes said: “They are people.” They line the stage, in their red-andwhite shirts, young faces with hopeful hearts and a message intended to shock into action. The words overlap. They resound. Pulse. Reverberate. They envelop the listening students. Education … Strength … Courage … This is the change. It is happening. It is around us. There is abuse. There is assault. We will stop it. We will fight it. Change the rage in this room. Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week.

School leaders mixed on block schedule Students like new format, teachers not as enthused By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com A Douglas County High School official says the block schedule adopted by many high schools in 2012-13 undermines the International Baccalaureate program and makes teachers’ jobs tougher. Almost a year into the new system, other Douglas County School District leaders said the verdict is still out, but that class sizes and budgets prevent them from considering options. “I see grades down,” said Steve Fleet, IB coordinator at Douglas County High School. “I see kids who decide it’s better to have an off-period than to take a challenging academic program. The general atmosphere shifts away from the focus on academics we used to have. “The regrettable thing is we have a movement to encourage critical and creative thinking in the district, (but) the soil in which teachers are trying to plant that seed simply won’t let it grow.” Most students say they like the schedule’s 90-minute classes and off-periods. Those whose days end with an off-period also like leaving school at 12:30 instead of 2:50 p.m. Most teachers aren’t as enthusiastic. The new schedule required them to teach an additional section. Class sizes are smaller, but overall student load typically is larger. At Chaparral High School, 67 percent of students who responded to a school survey said they like the schedule, with only 31 percent of teachers agreeing. Forty-seven percent of the teachers said they don’t like the block format, and 25 percent were undecided. “We’ve had some major changes based on budgeting constraints over the last four years,” said Principal Ron Peterson. “Honestly, there’s been some grumbling. It can become very draining if you don’t put your energy and efforts in the right places.” Both students and teachers who responded to Peterson’s survey said they like not having the same class every day, and believe they accomplish more during the longer class periods. DCSD Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Education Dan McMinimee said the district’s leaving it to the principals to find what works best for their schools. “We have a site-based decision-making

‘I see kids who decide it’s better to have an off-period than to take a challenging academic program. The general atmosphere shifts away from the focus on academics we used to have.’ Steve Fleet, IB coordinator process,” he said. “My expectation is each of their principals is doing a good job of listening to their community, while staying within budget parameters.” Informal feedback from students and staff at Rock Canyon and Highlands Ranch high schools is similar to that at Chaparral. “One of the reasons we didn’t do a survey is we don’t have the funding” to return to the old schedule, said Rock Canyon Principal Andy Abner. “It’s not as though we have an option on the table. But through anecdotal information, when you talk to students, they like the free time. It’s more of a college feel for them. It’s a tricky balance, but I think Rock Canyon students in general handle that very appropriately and seriously. “When you speak with teachers, it’s difficult because it’s an increased workload. What I’ve been committed to is trying to hire as many staff members as the budget will permit in order to ease the burden on any one teacher.” If a schedule change ever occurs, it would be based on input from staff, students and community, Abner said. “If students are realizing a benefit, and teachers are having a difficult time with it, maybe there’s something … that could be somewhere in the middle,” he said. Highlands Ranch High School Principal Jerry Goings said his staff still is transitioning to the block schedule. “Along with other changes within the district, staff is pretty much overwhelmed with it,” he said. “It still has definite positive results in terms of class size. We’re working through it.”

cancer factors

od Team to examine lifestyle,

environmental exposures By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com

Parker residents are among the subjects of a major cancer prevention study, the results of which could shed light on how environmental factors impact cancer rates. The intent of CPS-3, a national study funded and managed by the American Cancer Society’s Epidemiator ology Research Program, is to better understand the factors that cause or prevent cancer and use the reeach Jachowicz sults to find ways to “elimiob of nate cancer as a major aying health concern for future generations,” according to the ACS website. and Nurse Jane Jachowicz, the breast proanch gram coordinator at Parker Adventist Hosrral. pital, said researchers will gather informasurtion about lifestyle, environmental and eturn genetic factors over a 20- to 30-year period Prinand try to identify trends. h we Jachowicz, the hospital’s representative ough to the ACS, offered to use Parker Adventist lk to as an enrollment site last fall, and 153 peomore ple from the area signed up. Baseline tests balbegan immediately with blood samples ts in and waistline measurements, and surveys and were filled out by the study volunteers.

ticipants about their habits through regular emails and consultations. The results of the study could have farreaching implications, much like CPS-1, which studied the link between cigarette smoking and cancer. The findings led to surgeon general warnings on tobacco products, not to mention heightened public awareness about the dangers of smoking. The second study focused on the correlation between weight and nutrition and cancer. Jachowicz, whose sister was diagnosed with breast cancer years ago, is still participating in that study. She says it is often relatives or friends of cancer victims and survivors who sign up for long-term studies because they want to contribute to efforts to find a cure. Thousands of people between the ages of 30 and 65 were recruited for CPS-3. Those with a personal history of cancer were excluded because the study authors are hoping to find preventive measures by seeing how cancer develops and specifically what types are found. Among the environmental exposures that could get special attention are air pollution, water and soil quality, and how those numbers are affected based on where people live. Dietary and exercise habits will also be closely monitored. CPS-3 is a blind study and the participants know they will never receive individual results. They will receive annual newsletters with highlights of study results, and cumulative data will be released in medical journals once there are quantifiable changes in the numbers, Jachowicz said.

Properties draw line at pot

Apartments, condos see andproblems tied to legalization

th it, d beBy Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com

cipal tion- As Colorado details how pot smokers can legally light up, homeowner associathetions and apartment complexes are starting medto feel the effects. sitive While Amendment 64 permits recrerkingational use of marijuana by adults, as well as the indoor cultivation of up to six plants, some property management companies are already threatening fines for those who use or grow in their units. Many newer properties have already banned smoking entirely. Alta Aspen Grove, Littleton’s newest complex, is 100 percent smoke-free. Tenants sign an addendum to their lease that allows the company to fine them $50 for the first offense, $100 for the second and evict them on the third. The building is LEED Silver certified. “It attracts kind of a different demographic,” said Carissa DeKeyser, assistant community manager. “When they find out we’re 100 percent smoke-free, they’ll either walk right out the door or they’ll be even more interested.” Jill Kearney rents a condo in a Denver high-rise and said just the thought of her neighbors lighting up has her looking for alternatives. “I really don’t care what other people want to do, but the thought of having someone living next door growing and smoking marijuana really encourages me to start looking for a house to rent,” said Kearney. “I’m probably not going to have as nice of a place, but if this is the way it’s going to go down, I don’t feel I have a choice.” But problems with marijuana use in properties where tenants share a common wall are more than just smoke, according to Molly Foley-Healy, special counsel for Winzenburg, Leff, Purvis and Payne who specializes in property law. “Problems include the distinctive smell of not just pot when it’s smoked, but also when it’s growing,” said Foley-Healy, add-

‘When they find out we’re 100 percent smoke-free, they’ll either walk right out the door or they’ll be even more interested.’ Carissa DeKeyser, assistant community manager ing that other concerns include mold, excessive use of water for hydroponics, light pollution from grow lights as well as electrical hazards from overloaded wall outlets. And just like many municipalities, property managers are torn between two governing jurisdictions. “The real sticky wicket comes when you look at most contracts signed by the tenant,” explained Foley-Healey. “Most communities, when you buy or rent, will have you sign a document agreeing to the association’s governing documents and most require tenants and residents to abide by all laws — meaning federal, state and local laws.” While pot may be legal under state law, the fact is, it’s still illegal under federal law. According to Foley-Healing, the other looming question for property managers is the issue of enforcement. She said it’s a fine line, and she encourages her clients to defer matters to local authorities. “Just like when tenants have problems with loud music or unleashed dogs, there are usually municipal codes that already exist to deal with these kinds of things,” she said. “If it becomes a problem, I would highly encourage any of our clients and residents to report the matter to local authorities and let them handle it.”

Marijuana issues drive discord in Legislature Legalization could come back to ballot By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A late legislative session effort that could put Amendment 64 back on the ballot led to a finger-pointing exercise in political theater late last week — a wild turn of events in marijuana regulation activity that capped an eventful period of pot-related action at the Capitol. News of an Amendment 64 repeal effort generated buzz, just two days after the first piece of legislation that seeks to set up a regulatory model for the new recreational pot industry passed a legislative committee. The effort — if it ever gets off the ground — would ask voters to repeal Amendment 64, if they fail to support the tax rates tied to retail marijuana purchases. However, it remains to be seen whether the repeal effort has any legs, or if it’s dead on arrival in either legislative chamber. Repeal effort rumblings led to a tense April 26 press conference outside the Capitol, where Amendment 64 proponents clashed with an advocacy group that seeks to restrict access to marijuana in the state. Later that day, House lawmakers approved preliminary passage of House Bill 1317, an omnibus bill that puts in place Amendment 64’s regulatory framework. And, earlier in the week, a House committee voted to tack on a controversial driving-stoned standard to House Bill 1317 — one day after a Senate committee killed legislation that sought to do the same thing. An early draft of the repeal effort asks voters to repeal last November’s initiative that legalized recreational marijuana use in the state, if they reject the tax model tied to Amendment 64 implementation. That tax framework is in the form of House Bill 1318, which in its original form asks voters to approve a model where retail pot would be subject to an excise tax and a separate retail tax of up to 15 percent each.

That’s in addition to a standard 2.9 percent state sales tax and whatever other taxes municipalities that allow retail pot sales may tack on. The first $40 million collected annually through the excise tax will go to school construction funding. Also, the bill was recently amended to allow municipalities to receive a 15 percent “share back” of the retail sales taxes collected by the state, up from the 10 percent that was originally included in the bill. Amendment 64 proponents are furious at the repeal effort — Report which had not been introduced in any form of legislation as of April 26. “The proposal to repeal Amendment 64 is extortion,” Mason Tvert, an author of Amendment 64, said at press conference. “The proposal tells voters that they must agree to the tax rate being proposed by legislators, otherwise the constitutional amendment they adopted last November will be repealed.” Tvert strongly urged legislators to move away from a 15 percent retail pot tax ceiling, and instead seek a 10 percent limit, something that he and his group believes will be more palatable to voters. Tvert also took aim at a group called Smart Colorado, a group that has sought strict limits on marijuana access, whom Tvert said is behind the repeal effort. Representatives from Smart Colorado followed up with their own press conference, where they denied being the driving force behind the repeal push, but acknowledged that they have been a part of the process. They say that Amendment 64 proponents’ anger could end up being much ado about nothing. “This just gives the option, that if there is not the money to fund the regulatory costs, then (Amendment) 64 should not be implemented,” said Diane Carlson of Smart Colorado.

Capitol

Because life has a way of changing your schedule, we have emergency and walk-in appointments. Now take it easy out there.

The two sides ended up engaging in a testy back-and-forth after their press conferences.

Tax rates spark debate

As of last week, it was unknown which specific lawmakers would join in crafting a repeal measure, which probably would come in the form of a joint Senate and House resolution. Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, said he “wouldn’t have a problem” with asking for an Amendment 64 repeal if the voters don’t approve the taxes tied to its regulation. “There is a strong concern that if the tax doesn’t pass, then families and small businesses are going to be saddled with the cost of implementing legalized pot,” McNulty told Colorado Community Media. “I don’t think that’s right.” Some Republicans have argued that the proposed 15 percent excise and retail sales taxes might be too high for voters’ liking. And, even if voters approve the taxes, the rates could have unintended consequences. “I would rather us do something prudent out of the gate to not create that stronger black market,” said Rep. Kevin Priola, R-Henderson, during an April 25 House Finance Committee hearing on House Bill 1318. But those who support the 15 percent rate argue that there’s just no telling how much it’s going to cost to regulate the new industry, and that it’s better to ask for a higher tax rate now, and then possibly adjust to a lower rate down the road. Still, Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont, the sponsor of House Bill 1318, said he is “willing to talk about different (tax) models that might work better.” Singer said that’s a lot better than seeking a repeal, which not only would do away with the retail marijuana industry, but also would strip other popular aspects of Amendment 64, such as decriminalization for small-time pot-related offenses. “The voters went out there, they got the signatures, they got this on the ballot,”

Singer told Colorado Community Media. “So, for the state legislature to turn around a year later and say, `Let’s do a mulligan,’ ... apart from looking bad, it takes so little credence for what the voters actually did in 2012.” Singer’s bill passed the Finance Committee. The bill was expected to be voted on by the entire House this week.

Driving limit returns

The two bills that seek to put in place regulations for recreational marijuana — House Bill 1317 and Senate Bill 283 — passed separate committees last week, following lengthy hearings. One of the more contentious areas of House Bill 1317 is a proposed head start that existing medical marijuana dispensaries would have in entering into the new retail pot market. Medical marijuana licensees would be allowed to apply for retail licenses on Oct. 1, while everyone else must wait until Jan. 1, 2014. Some Republicans argued that allowing existing dispensaries to get a jump on other businesses would give them an unfair advantage over pot shops just entering the market. But Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, the bill’s sponsor, said there needs to be some easing into the market to help regulators deal with the new industry. “This is not for a monopoly, but to let the Department of Revenue get used to a new era,” Pabon said during an April 25 House Finance Committee hearing. Also, a key amendment was added to Pabon’s bill at that same hearing, which would set a blood standard for being too stoned to drive. The standard would limit drivers to 5 nanograms per milliliter of blood for THC, marijuana’s psychoactive ingredient. The effort had failed in a previous committee, after concerns were raised that the standard would unfairly affect medical marijuana patients, and that it would lead to police enforcement issues about blood sampling. The driving-stoned amendment still must survive the Senate, where the effort has died before.

Bill on executive sessions dies

comt the dicalResidents who question school leadboard backed legislation lood mentBy Jane Reuter e ef-jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com

To Douglas County School Board President John Carson, the executive sessions bill that died at the state Capitol April 24 was “the usual nonsense from the AFT (American Federation of Teachers).” To the bill’s supporters, it was a bid for greater transparency, triggered by questionable school board conduct. The AFT is the parent organization of the local teachers’ union, the Douglas County Federation. The original bill, introduced by two Adams County Democrats, state Rep. Cherylin Peniston and state Sen. Mary Hodge, called for recording of all closed-door sessions of elected local-government bodies. That would have included issues classified as attorney-client privilege, which now are exempt from the recording requirement. Citizens with concerns about a closed-door meeting could then have asked a judge to review the recording. An amended version of the bill, which would only have required governing agencies to document the amount of executivesession time spent on specific issues, also failed. The Colorado Municipal League and other groups opposed the bill because of its applicability to all elected local government entities. “This is something that would put a little more sunshine in the Sunshine Law and help keep these people honest,” said Cindy Barnard, a plaintiff in the lawsuit against the Douglas County School District’s voucher program who testified in support of the bill. “What I am seeing in Douglas County concerns me.”

first conducted a habit audit. “First is lighting,” Smit said. “Lighting is the biggest energy draw in most schools. So let’s make sure all the lights are turned off when we don’t need them. Computers need to be either off or in sleep mode. Simple things like that.”

Students calculate energy savings, considering every facet from how often light bulbs are changed to salaries of custodial staff. “You can walk through our schools now and it’s so different from when I started,” Smit said. “I’d see 20 empty rooms, and 15 to 20 would have lights on. Now I’ll find one or two.” Some of the saved money is dedicated back to each school, often for re-investment in the program. The program so intrigued former Ponderosa High School student Suzanne Warren that she majored in energy management practices at CU-Boulder. Upon her May graduation, she’ll step into the job of energy solutions engineer at Johnson Controls, a Fortune 500 company with offices in Denver. Warren helped Smit audit about 20 DCSD schools during her junior year. “We learned how easy it was to just turn off a light and save all this energy,” she said. “We ended up saving our school over $16,000 over four months with things that were so simple. It was a really great way to see how small actions can make a huge difference. “Lee’s program and the work I did at Ponderosa was 100 percent the launching pad to where I am today. If I hadn’t learned about energy efficiency, I would have never gone down this path.”

Carson says there was no need for any changes, and believes the teachers’ union — whose collective bargaining agreement with DSCD expired in June 2012 — pushed for the bill. The Douglas County Federation also filed suits against DCSD in February on issues related to teacher hiring and a sickleave bank; the district has moved for dismissal of the suits. “When you’re reforming a school district and you’re taking money away from the union, they’re going to get angry,” Carson said. “That’s really the root of all this. “I think they’ll probably give up once we win the next round of board elections. “No one has ever identified a single problem with the way we conduct our executive sessions and they won’t because we conduct them in compliance with the law and our legal counsel advises us on that.” Minutes on the Douglas County School District’s website show the length of executive sessions increased substantially during recent years, from an average of 20 minutes to more than an hour and a half. In April, the board cut the time spent in executive session to about an hour and 10 minutes. Carson said legal complexities surrounding the voucher lawsuit and other issues necessitate the private discussions. AFT President Brenda Smith said a varied group of stakeholders supported the bill. Susan Meek, formerly a DCSD spokeswoman and now vice president of the grassroots Strong Schools Coalition, also testified in support of the bill. Barnard, president of Taxpayers for Public Education, and Meek said their organizations are not affiliated with or supported by the teachers’ union. “I’ve received zero money from the teachers’ union,” Barnard said. “I am not the AFT. I’m a concerned Douglas County Republican.”

Turning the gun debate to mental illness The 2012 mass shootings at the Aurora movie theater and at Sandy Hook Elementary School sparked discussion of the role mental illness may have played in the tragedies. What can be done to improve treatment for the mentally ill? How can we make sure those whose illness manifests itself in violent tendencies don’t have access to guns? That debate was quickly overshadowed by gun-control measures in Congress and in state legislatures that frequently became arguments over the Second Amendment. In Colorado, the 2013 legislative session, now less than a week from its scheduled end, will be remembered most for Democrats pushing through several gun-control bills to the outrage of Republicans. But the mental illness aspect hasn’t gone away. We were reminded of this by last

our view week’s scare in Littleton in which a policeissued safety alert cautioned that a man with access to a semiautomatic rifle had, weeks earlier, made threats to shoot people at the local hospital and at a big-box store. The 24-year-old Highlands Ranch man had spent more than two weeks in the same hospital he threatened after being admitted on a mandatory hold for having homicidal or suicidal thoughts. We know these details only because the safety alert inadvertently, police say, made its way into the hands of the public, largely because of various media reports. The alert, issued April 25, had been intended just for

question of the week

After recent news events, how safe do you feel? Colorado Community Media surveyed four people at random to determine whether

recent national tragedies have impacted their thoughts on personal safety.

“I feel perfectly safe, but I’m kind of a red-blooded American. Unfortunately, with the Boston bombings, when it’s people in U.S., it’s difficult to pre-emptively stop those. We can’t get everything.” — Lee Nordhold, Denver

“I feel safe. Yesterday, I heard the five surviving presidents speak and that made me feel safe. It seemed like they are all on the same page, which made me feel good.” — Marguerite Langstaff, Littleton

“I just came back from Boston, and seeing the state of readiness and so many different authorities that got together to make sure security was buttoned up made me feel safe.” — Kevin Humes, Aurora

“We’ve gone through Columbine and the Aurora theater shooting, but I don’t feel like I’m in danger when I go out or anything. There are always going to be crazy wackos out there.” — Tommy Weber, Littleton

Heart and soul of a dachshund Are you in a bad mood? Take one dachshund and call me in the morning. It’s impossible to look at a real dachshund or a photograph of one and not feel better. Go ahead. Google “dachshund” and you will see what I mean. They weren’t designed, yes designed, to lift your spirits. They were designed to track badgers. I suppose a standard-sized dachshund would stand a chance, but a small standard, like Smitty, or a miniature, would be torn to shreds. I think Smitty would have a 50-50 chance of whipping a box of Wheat Thins. If you’re planning to buy or adopt a dachshund, do your research first. Some of them can be nippy, and some of them will only focus on one member of the family. Smitty is here in the room with me, so I have to be careful about what I say. I will sneak in a subliminal message. Dachshunds are German-engineered, the word “dachshund” means “badger hound,” (they are very, very funny looking), and they like to burrow under blankets. Don’t go calling them wiener dogs around me. Hardy har har. How would you like to be called “crab man” or “crab woman” just because you resembled one? Or “chameleon boy” just because you changed colors now and then? You wouldn’t. If you look into the eyes of a dachshund, you are looking into the heart and soul of life. I know I tumbled overboard the first time I saw Smitty’s cognac-colored eyes. He begged to be adored and I lost control, the way a fool would do. I have a good friend who has a dog that doesn’t look like a dog. She sends pictures and I have nightmares. It weighs 124 pounds. That’s 8 pounds more than Jennifer, my girlfriend, weighs. And it’s 108 pounds more than Smitty weighs. Think about it. The amount of food. The amount of poop. I want a lap dog, not Smokey the

Bear. Another good friend just went through a nasty divorce, and custody of the dog was big. I actually think there was more contention over Scrapple than there was over the children. Dogs will do that to you. It’s been said over and over that dogs don’t know or care if you have had a bad day. They are here to make your day better no matter what. I am on my third dachshund. My childhood dachshund, Hexe, was an antidote for just about everything from the anxieties of growing up, to the Wrath of Shirley. My mother made some days very difficult. If you know what an anal retentive is, mom was varsity, first team, All American, Hall of Fame. She lettered all four years that I was in high school. Hexe snuggled. Shirley scolded. Hexe snuggled. No matter what anyone says, no one is going to give you unconditional love. Something, some thing, will invariably rub your unconditional lover the wrong way. Just because you drink salad dressing out of the bottle doesn’t make you a bad person. Just because you sing “Moon River” in a falsetto with a spoon on your nose doesn’t make you a bad person. Smitty wouldn’t care one way or another. He is here to dispense love. That’s his assignment. Smith continues on Page 9

the people deemed most affected, such as the hospital, the man’s relatives and his former employer. It was distributed as “a precautionary measure and a courtesy,” Littleton police said, and the man had not been charged with a crime. A day after the bulletin was issued, the man checked himself into a hospital seeking treatment and was not considered a threat, authorities said. Media organizations and the public were given a peek behind the curtain at something that surely happens more often than we would like to think. Because of privacy laws, neither the media nor the public are privy to much of what happens before someone who is mentally ill commits a crime. Let’s be clear: The vast majority of mentally ill people do not commit crimes, and

may actually be more prone to being victimized, experts say. But some individuals with certain types of mental illness are driven to hurt people. And they should not have legal access to guns. We have no way of knowing whether the subject of last week’s safety alert actually planned to hurt anyone or whether he is even mentally ill. But the mere notion of someone with bad intentions and access to a firearm fuels thoughts of another tragedy. What can be done? How can public safety best be protected without trampling on an individual’s rights? There are lawmakers in Congress and in the Colorado General Assembly having this discussion. We hope they will put the same passion into these talks that we saw in earlier gun-control debates, sans the partisan politics.

Rewrite of election law is a looming train wreck Following a secret, months-long process and without any input from my office, voters, or Republican legislators, Democrats rammed through legislation that fundamentally changes how we run our elections. Unfortunately, this election-law rewrite will lead to disaster. To begin, the bill forces Colorado into election policy that performs worse than our current system. The new bill mandates mail ballots for every voter and Election Day registration. Currently, Colorado ranks third best in voter turnout nationwide — one of the few states that increased turnout in this last election. Colorado outperforms every all-mail-ballot state in the country. And we outperform six of the eight Election Day registration states. But even if you like the policy, this bill is a rush to failure. Some may remember Denver voters waiting in line for hours in 2006. Denver’s own analysis blamed much of the failure on vote centers and the rushed development of an Internet-only poll book. That analysis criticized the short time frame — eight months — to deploy the system. By contrast, this bill’s unrealistic 100-day timeline will result in a sloppy, untested system that puts our voters at risk. Other states attempting this project have allowed themselves anywhere from 13 months to two years. Additionally, the bill bans neighborhood polling places in exchange for scattered, big-box voting clearinghouses. By rushing development and mandating these clearinghouses, the legislature is repeating every mistake that led to voters waiting in line for hours in Denver in 2006. Even if implementation goes smoothly,

Parker Chronicle

Election Day registration still opens the door to fraud. Because Colorado has weak identification requirements — an easily forged utility bill is enough to vote — cheaters will be able to vote twice using different names. These worries aren’t theoretical. This last election, El Paso County caught a person who registered five times using false information. County officials caught him, but only because they had 29 days before the election to investigate the registration fraud. Under an Election Day registration scheme, this person would have been able to vote several times. Also in 2012, Colorado saw instances of people from other states trying to illegally vote in our battleground state. And in 2004 the city of Milwaukee saw over 4,000 more votes than registered voters. The resulting 68-page Milwaukee police report targeted Wisconsin’s Election Day voter registration as the problem. And finally, mandatory mail ballots remove choice and open the door to voter intimidation. Despite best efforts by all political parties and county registrars, about 1 million Coloradans reject voting by mail, and instead vote in person. In fact, Gessler continues on Page 9

We’re not in Kansas, school board

As a 27-year-plus resident of Douglas County, I can remember vic-being excited and proud to be asvidu-sociated with the Douglas County s areSchool District and its board. d notMy wife and I shepherded four children through Douglas County’s etherschool system, and have an overactu-whelmingly positive story about er hethe district’s school system. on of In 1995, I and a cadre of parents ess toembarked on an immense chalgedy. lenge with DCSD — we initiated a safe-charter school, one of the district’s g onfirst.

We found that we were welcomed as a force for making a great education program even stronger. We were encouraged, supported, advised without hesitation, particularly by the district staff and board members. The model of education we were introducing to the District was Montessori — different from, but

complementary to, “traditional” models of educating. We were not seen as a threat of any kind, but as a worthwhile expansion of educational choice. In fact, during our consultations with DCSD staff, we were enjoined to make sure we consulted the district teachers — they were a valuable constituency. We viewed this as a challenge, because we were to be hiring certified Montessori instructors who are not represented by any union, so we wondered how we would be received. We were relieved and delighted at the warm, supportive welcome, and got lasting counsel from them. After an eventful and sometimes grueling two-year “project,” we had an approved charter. We were

fraud charges because, as one witness said: “Once everyone gets a mail ballot in their mailbox, in some communities like mine, the bad guys will be there to intimidate them. They don’t get to say, `I don’t get a mail ballot. I go to the polls.’” We should take time to get it right, because we can fix many problems. But the Democratic majority refuses to compromise. We should take the time to get it right. Photo identification and proof of citizenship for late registrations dramati-

supported and babied along the way by every department, and were welcomed with open arms by our school board. Today, 16 years later, DCS Montessori proudly stands beside our partner schools in the county, providing quality education for in-district children as well as open-enrolled students. Now the rub. What a sad difference to read about, and hear the stories of, a dramatic shift in that partnering spirit, especially shown by a majority of our present board members. The politicized character of the discussion about school choice that surrounds the debate about the proposed voucher program is disturbing, not because there’s anything wrong with the idea, but because of the polarized and polemic discourse. From here, this looks like a group of people who have an ideological agenda and are intent on hammering it into place with little or no regard for real listening and hearing of reasoned debate. The ads bashing the AFL-CIO, the

cally reduce the chances for fraud, but Democrats refuse to even consider that. And Colorado should allow people the option to refuse a mail ballot and vote in person. From the start, Democrats have frozen out anyone who might disagree with them, refusing common-sense compromises. Colorado voters deserve better. Scott Gessler, a Republican, was elected Colorado secretary of state in 2010.

ACLU, the teachers, and anyone else who happens to think that the free expression of religion is different from a subsidized expression of religion are repulsive tactics. To those who say, “well the other side is doing it too, and worse,” I say there doesn’t have to be sides — my experience is that reasoned people can find a solution for improving our school choices without taking sides — just engaging in discourse. And I use my chartering experience as proof of that premise. The present atmosphere in DCSD reminds me of the debates that are happening in school districts one state to our east — not a pretty sight. So, my message to the board members at issue here: “We’re not in Kansas, Toto.” Please reclaim and regenerate that quality of creativity, listening and partnering that has for so long characterized our district’s leadership of our district.

Party combines Derby, art, fashion Wildlife Experience event tied to famous horse race By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Millions of horse racing fans will miss the chance to see this year’s running of the Kentucky Derby in person, but The Wildlife Experience has the next best thing. For the second year, the wildlife conservation and education museum is hosting “Art of the Race — The Kentucky Derby Party,” an event that encourages guests to don their finest dresses, suits and ornate hats while watching the most exciting two minutes in sports. Visitors will gather May 4 for a garden party in the museum’s courtyard, where they will listen to live bluegrass music while dining on Southern-themed hors d’oeuvres and sipping on complimentary mint juleps. The race will be shown in the Extreme Screen Theater, a venue that boasts digital quality so advanced that guests may feel like they’re sitting trackside at Churchill Downs. The inaugural event last year attracted roughly 150 people, and organizers believe “Art of the Race” will grow to become one of the more popular Kentucky Derby parties in the Denver area. The museum made 300 tickets available this year and they are expected to sell out. “It’s something different and fun,” said Rachel Campbell, an executive assistant for the nonprofit museum. “People are able to come out and dress up and celebrate a Southern Americana tradition.” “Art of the Race” was conceived of by Gary Debus, who became president and CEO of The Wildlife Experience last year. The die-hard equestrian says the horse culture in Douglas and Elbert counties remains strong, and he believes the Kentucky Derby party is a perfect addition to the museum’s diverse lineup of annual events and

Library Continued from Page 1

The library attracts an average of 530,000 visitors each year, and that traffic is expected to boost sales for downtown businesses and promote economic vitality, Waid says. Building the library across from the PACE Center and town hall will help fill out the east end of downtown. The partnership came together earlier this year and discussions quickly turned into actions. The offer to build on townowned land was welcomed with open arms by library leaders. “We could not even envision this in such a rapid time frame without the partnership with the town. We are grateful for that,” said Mark Weston, who sits on the board of directors for Douglas County Libraries. Weston said the Parker Library bounced around from various churches and storefronts before a building was constructed in downtown Parker in 1985. That building now houses the Parker Water and Sanitation District headquarters.

A jar displaying the names of each Kentucky Derby racehorse will be set out, and attendees are asked to pick the winner. Once the race is over, names will be drawn from the jar and winners will get gift certificates to Park Meadows mall and other prizes. Officials will also announce the top picks in contests for best-dressed and best hat, Campbell said. “Art of the Race” is from 2:30 to 5 p.m. May 4 at The Wildlife Experience, at Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street. Tickets are $20 for museum members and $25 for nonmembers. To reserve seats, call 720-4883344 or visit www.thewildlifeexperience.org and click on “events.”

In 1995, the library moved into its existing location, a former bowling alley, on the northwest corner of South Parker Road and Mainstreet. That facility has been plagued by poor access, inadequate parking and limited room for expansion. While many of the details have not been finalized, including those pertaining to funding, site improvements and the exact location of the library on the property, the design phase is expected to commence this fall. Amy Long, manager of the Parker Library, said residents will have the opportunity to help decide which features are included by participating in focus groups and taking surveys. Visit www.noleafunturned. org and click on the “taking a short survey” icon. Waid said getting involved in the planning process is not an opportunity, but rather an obligation for library users. LaRue hopes to be able to break ground in early 2014, however, a press release from the town put the first phases of construction around late summer next year. LaRue said the establishment of a library hub downtown marks the beginning of a new era for discovery and learning for kids and adults.

on Parents take stand on hearing loss County group to have open house in Parker By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews. com

A Douglas County parents group is on a mission to save children from noise-induced hearing loss. Putting in ear buds is an everyday occurrence for most kids, and it’s estimated that one in five experience some level of hearing loss by the time they are teenagers. That has prompted the Douglas County Parenting Coalition to act with more urgency as they try to dispense educational information. Headsets are not the only fac” tor, says Tobey Stein, co-chair of the 100-member coalition. Environmental noise is also a big culprit in hearing loss. rac“It can be from activities that might seem innocuous, like playing in the ause school band or mowing the lawn,” she ough said. tures These are some of the lessons the f the coalition hopes to get across during a free event known as “Now Hear This” Kenand nner. rawn cerother e topChaparral senior earns full ride best One of 40 recipients of the Boettcher Foundation Scholarship is p.m.from Parker. Lin- Chaparral High School senior s areCameron Coday received the full-ride non-merit-based scholarship to a Colo-488-rado college or university for ranking e.orgin the top 5 percent of his class, scoring a 1,200 or higher on the math and critical reading section of the SAT, and scoring at least a 27 on the ACT. More than 1,300 students apply for the scholarship, which pays full tuition, fees, book allowance and a stipend for living expenses. Tim Schultz, president and executive director of the Boettcher Foundation, said the intent of the scholarship program is to “keep the best talent in Colorado.”

Transportation plan workshops set

The town is looking for knowledge, ideas and concerns regarding the future of transportation in Parker. The public is being invited to participate in one of two workshops. The first is at the Parker Library, 10851 S. Crossroads Drive, in the Adam and Dorothy Miller Large Meeting Room, from 8 to 11 a.m. May 4. The second

from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 11 at the Parker Fire Protection District building at 10235 Parkglenn Way. The open house-style presentation is intended to begin the discussion on an issue that is expected to grow. Working in conjunction with the Denver-based Center for Hearing, Speech and Language, the group hopes to attract parents who want more educational material and a chance to walk away with earplugs and specialized high-fidelity ear buds. Organizers will have prize drawings for products for kids and teens that produce safer sound. Instead of coming off as “preachy,” the coalition designed the event to be fun and interactive, Stein said. The Center for Hearing, Speech and Language will bring in a robot named “Harmony” that can calculate the number of decibels when earphones are placed on its head. It can also estimate the amount of hearing loss that could result from prolonged exposure to loud noises. “Hearing loss starts to happen at 85 decibels and it’s alarming how quickly you can get there,” Stein said. “If you have the blender and TV going at the same time, you’re at 90.”

A separate puppet show will help younger kids learn the basics of hearing loss. The Douglas County Parenting Coalition is launching its own noise survey and asking parents and kids to get involved. The kids, known as Decibel Hunters, are encouraged to register the amount of noise in their area through smartphone applications, some of which can be downloaded for free, and report back with the results. The idea is to get residents of Parker, Lone Tree, Highlands Ranch and Castle Rock to record noise levels at different times on different days. It’s not a scientific survey, Stein says, but the numbers could “bring noise as a civic issue to the forefront” and promote discussion that could result in tangible action to improve quality of life. The hearing loss awareness campaign is the latest from the 100-member coalition, which “investigates the unmet needs of Douglas County families,” Stein said. The group’s website, www.dcparenting.org, lists several free and low-cost services for local parents and works through public agencies to reach around 6,000 moms and dads per year.

PARKER NEWS IN A HURRY workshop is scheduled for 8 a.m. to noon May 12 at the Parker Farmers Market at Mainstreet and Victorian Drive. Participants will work with large aerial ground maps of the entire town and help identify problem areas where it is challenging to drive, walk, bike or use transit. They are being asked to provide suggestions for potential future improvements such as new street and trail connections. The town is developing its first transportation master plan, and kicked off the event at a joint meeting with the town council and planning commission April 8. The project is a coordinated effort between several town departments and is meant to guide policy for officials and staff on future transportation decisions, development and capital projects.

Road to close for three months

Douglas County is planning to close Tammy Lane, a street that connects to Hess Road and winds through a rural residential neighborhood on the south end of Parker. The county plans to make roadway

improvements and will shut down Tammy Lane from Hess Road to Randy Drive from May 6 to Aug. 2.

Sierra student wins essay contest

Sierra Middle School seventhgrader Kate Padrnos was among the three winners of the Charles Lafitte Foundation’s Kid’s Corner “Season of Generosity Essay Contest.” Padrnos will receive a Kindle Fire, plus $1,000 for her school library. The “Season of Generosity Essay Contest” invited any student in grades 3-12 attending a public or private school in the U.S. to submit an essay. To enter, students had to read a book listed under their corresponding grade level, and tell CLF how the characters’ traits of compassion and generosity impacted them. “By identifying these traits through an age-appropriate and educational exercise, children and teens can learn to act in ways that will help them to grow into compassionate and generous adults,” said Kyra Citron, director of Kid’s Corner. CLF’s Kid’s Corner strives to encourage kids to not only have a voice, but a role in helping better their community. 05/09/2013

State budget for 2014 rejuvenates programs Funding restored in wake of recession By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Next year’s state budget was signed by Gov. John Hickenlooper on April 29, a $20.5 billion plan that restores funding to many programs that had been cut during the recent recession. Hickenlooper signed the so-called “long bill” at a Capitol press event, where he expressed optimism in Colorado’s economic direction, while also acknowledging the cloudier fiscal period that the state is emerging from. “We are enacting a budget in a unique time in our history where we are coming back from this incredible recession,” Hickenlooper said, with members of the Legislature’s Joint Budget Committee standing behind him. “Colorado’s economy is outperforming the nation’s economy and I think we are now ... able to catch up in a number of places.” Funding is not only being restored to areas of last year’s budget that were cut, it also puts more money into savings. Next year’s budget adds $80 million to the state’s General Fund reserve, a 1 percent savings increase from last year. “Our intention is to continue to add to that reserve each year, so we can soften the actions those recessions create,” the governor said. Public schools will see a per-pupil funding increase of about $172 in next year’s budget — an increase that is tied to a tax hike associated with the School Finance Act, which voters still must approve once Hickenlooper signs the measure into law. There also will be more than $5 million

added in financial aid for college students, and more than $100 million for higher education maintenance projects. And, state workers will receive a 2 percent pay increase, their first pay raises in years. Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, said the Department of Human Services “is a real winner in this year’s budget.” The Joint Budget Committee chairman touted the $13.3 million funding increase that will go toward the state’s child welfare system, and toward services geared toward people with developmental disabilities. Steadman also referenced the nearly $20 million that will go toward establishing a statewide mental health crisis system, which will include crisis phone hotlines available 24 hours a day. Rep. Claire Levy, D-Boulder, also a Joint Budget Committee member, said the budget provides more funding for affordable housing, legal aid programs for people who cannot afford lawyers, and restores $2 million in grant funding for libraries in rural areas. “That won’t ever get headlines, but to the people who need those services, it’s very important,” Levy said. Of the two Republican members of the Joint Budget Committee, only Rep. Cheri Gerou of Evergreen attended the budget signing. Sen. Kent Lambert, R-Colorado Springs, was the only committee member to vote against this year’s budget. Though the budget did receive some Republican support in the House, it did not garner a single Republican vote in the Senate. Many Republicans argued that the new budget’s spending would exceed growth. Their votes also were an extension of their resentment toward Democrats’ efforts on gun-control legislation.

An incident involving Douglas County Undersheriff Tony Spurlock, which prompted separate investigations by the Douglas County and Jefferson County sheriff’s offices, has resulted in the finding of no criminal wrongdoing by the undersheriff.

conducted an independent investigation at Sheriff David Weaver’s request. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office completed its investigation April 25 and found that Spurlock had not violated any laws and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office was also not in violation of standard operating procedures. Weaver sated in a news release that the reason for conducting both an internal and external investigation was to ensure the trust of the people of Douglas County. “As public servant employees, we accept that we are under more scrutiny and we embrace this because of the authority with which the public has entrusted our profession,” he said. “This incident has now been thoroughly investigated by two law enforcement agencies, both of which found no criminal or procedural wrongdoing.” Spurlock, who chaired the state’s Domestic Violence Offender Treatment Board under Gov. Bill Owens in 2001, added that both agencies were professional and thorough in their investigations. “My belief in the justice system has never wavered and stands strong today,” he said.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? Most sellers, but not all, tend to think that their house is worth more than what market data suggests. You cannot control what the market value of your house is at a particular time so embrace it and make your house the best one for the price and you will sell quickly!

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Keep your expectations realistic and options open. If you have an idea of the perfect house at a perfect price, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Sometimes your “wants and needs” will change as you go through the home searching process. My favorite example of this was a young couple I worked with a few years back. On our first meeting, they were adamant in saying, “Heather, do NOT show us anything in Highlands Ranch!” From everything they told me they wanted and were looking for in a house, I knew of just the perfect house and you guessed it – it was in Highlands Ranch! I asked them to be open-minded and begged them to view this house. They reluctantly agreed and don’t you know it, they fell head over heels and are now proud homeowners in the one place they insisted they did not want to live! What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? While previewing homes – alone, for a client that worked long hours, I headed down to the basement and opened the door to a storage closet. As I flung open the door, I found myself eye to eye with a life-sized statue of the Virgin Mary. My brain could not process fast enough that I was just looking at a harmless Christmas decoration! I turned and ran out of that house so fast I almost forgot to lock the door. Now when previewing alone, I tell clients, “I do not do basements!”

: My understanding is that rental vacancies are decreasing and rental rates are increasing. I also have heard that housing prices are increasing and that interest rates are still near 60 year lows. In this scenario is it better to rent or own. : You are correct that vacancies are very low and are continuing to impact rental rates. This trend is being driven by the number of people that have lost homes through short sales and foreclosures and the tighter lending environment of the last several years. You are also correct that housing prices in many areas in Colorado are showing month to month and year over year increases as inventory of homes available for sale have dropped

from about 25,000 to around 6,000. And interest rates, driven by Federal Reserve efforts, a sluggish job environment and economy, and a flight to safety caused by uncertainty in Europe, are near 60 year lows. As a result home affordability is at near record levels and about twice as high as 6 years ago. Given this environment the mathematics are definitely waited in favor of purchasing. From a mathematical standpoint if someone rented a home today at $1200 per month and if rent increases by 3% per year, over the next 30 years a person would have spent over $680,000 for housing and would own nothing. A person that purchases a home for $200,000 today with a 30 year fixed mortgage would have a payment of about $1200 per month, which may be tax deductible, and except for increases in taxes and insurance, would remain constant for 30 years. Thus payments over the 30 years would probably be less than $500,000, resulting in savings versus renting of over

ourcolorado

$180,000. And that house, if it appreciated at 3% per year, would be worth $485,000. Total difference – over $665,000 in favor of owning. If you’re looking to purchase or refinance, seek out an experienced, trustworthy, financially savvy lender, that you can meet face to face, who has access to the full spectrum of loan and grant programs. Then work with them to select the proper loan and grant programs and have them customize them to best suit your needs.

Oprah doing part for Dish

Retired Air Force pilot Brian Schul stands in front of “the sled.” Schul has partnered with Wings of Hope, a charity organization that helps fund research for pancreatic cancer. Photo by Gallery One

Getting supersonic support SR-71 pilot speaks at event targeting pancreatic cancer By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com It’s no secret that Brian Schul likes speed. The retired Air Force pilot once flew the SR-71 Blackbird, the world’s fastest — and perhaps most classified — aircraft. But even for a guy who’s flown more than three times the speed of sound, some things, like a cure for pancreatic cancer, can’t come fast enough. Schul, who lost both his mother and brother to pancreatic cancer, was the keynote speaker at a special Wings of Hope fundraiser on April 25 at The Wildlife Experience in Parker, organized More inforMation by his sister, MauFor more information reen Schul, the about Wings of Hope, former mayor of visit www.wingsofhope Castle Pines. pcr.org. One of only 93 men to fly the To learn more about mysterious black Brian Schul and his plane know as photography, visit www. “the sled,” Schul sleddriver.com.

Retired Air Force pilot Brian Schul owns one of the rarest photo collections of the SR-71 Blackbird. Schul was one of only 93 men in the world to fly the highly classified aircraft. He owes his now blossoming photo career to a “little Nikon on a lanyard” that he stuffed in his spacesuit pocket. shared his inspiring story of being shot down in Vietnam. Badly burned, Schul was hospitalized for nearly two years, only to come back to pilot the world’s fastest and highest-flying aircraft ever built. Schul also shared what he describes as one of the rarest collections of SR-71 photographs in the world. “I always had my little camera with me,” he said. “Now most people would think you couldn’t take a camera along on

a top-secret mission, but I dug into the Air Force regulations and it never said I could — but it also never said I couldn’t.” Schul’s collection, mostly film, is the foundation for his book, “Sled Driver,” which is one the most authoritative publications on the plane. The book was on sale at the event, with proceeds from it, as well as some of his photos, going to Wings of Hope. “Our goal is to help raise awareness and research dollars for pancreatic cancer,” Maureen Schul told the crowd of more than 300. “My family was stunned as to how little there was in the way of early diagnostic testing for pancreatic cancer. Just as shocking, the five-year survival rate has remained at just 6 percent for the last 40 years.” Wings of Hope has partnered with Pancreatic Cancer Research Program at the University of Colorado Cancer Center, to develop a national leading academic pancreatic cancer research program. Located on the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, the goal is to become the regional hub and national destination for pancreatic cancer research. One hundred percent of donations go directly to fund research, Maureen Schul said.

Willkommen to the Kit Kat Klub Menacing ‘Cabaret’ on stage at Aurora Fox Studio Theatre By Sonya Ellingboe

s e l l i n g b o e @ o u rc o l o ra d o news.com Chairs in a semi-circle and little round tables, plus a circular center stage and big oldfashioned bar, give the Aurora Fox Studio Theatre a cabaret look, specifically the Kit Kat Klub, circa 1931, Berlin, for “Cabaret.” An uneasy feeling hovers over the small nightclub. Weimar Germany’s hedonistic approach to life was about to end as the Nazis came to power. The club’s dancers, skimpily clad in black, with torn stock-

ings and distinct personalities, come onstage and begin to exercise as the live band begins to play “Willkommen.” And we meet the extraordinary, androgynous character called Emcee (Matt Lafontaine), who narrates, sings, dances and ties it all together. Somewhat threatening, he seems to represent the approaching dark times. Director/choreographer Danny Harrigan refers in a program note to “The Fosse Kaleidoscope that you will see” and the whole look of the show reflects early direction by the late Bob Fosse — in choreography and staging. Dark-rimmed eyes, exaggerated moves and a raw, sexy mood prevail in the club scenes. The four-piece band, led by Brandon Bill on keyboard,

if you go “Cabaret” plays through May 12 at the Aurora Fox Studio Theatre, 9900 E. Colfax Ave., Aurora. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 2:30 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $27/$20, 720-362-2697, IgniteTheatre.com. enhances the production, although on a few occasions, it drowns out a singer. On the whole, sound is well-balanced. British singer Sally Bowles (Lindsey Falduto) moves between this seedy world and a potentially healthier one represented by American Cliff Bradley (Marcus Turner), a novelist who hopes Berlin will inspire him to write his next book. He falls in love with Sally and wants to take her to America, but she is unable to recognize the growing threat and re-

turns to the nightclub instead. Chemistry between these two is a bit short. The other heartbreaking romance is between Fraulein Schneider (Barbara Porreca) and aging Jewish bachelor Herr Schultz (Brian Trampler), as she chooses political safety over a chance at love. Nazi presence comes through in the innocentsounding song “Tomorrow Belongs to Me,” which is chilling when one recognizes it. Characters Ernst (Rob Janzen) and Fraulein Kost (Maggie Tisdale) lead here and are increasingly sinister. “Cabaret” is entertaining and challenging for adults — not appropriate for children. The relatively new Ignite Theatre company has taken another significant step forward.

Inside scoop: Oprah Winfrey, yes, that Oprah, will make a special appearance at Douglas County-based satellite company Dish Network’s annual retailer convention in San Antonio in mid-May. She’s supposed to be taping a 30-minute show during the event. Also entertaining during that event is comedian Bill Engvall of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, and the band Train. Team Summit — the name of the conference — will be held May 14-16. Oprah will make her appearance on May 14. Jill Arrington from Fox Sports will be co-hosting the entire week with Amir Ahmed, senior vice president of indirect sales for Dish. Don’t have details, but I’m told by a super-secret double-probation source that Oprah’s rider (meaning what she needs before and after her appearance) is crazy! Tons of diva-like demands. If I hear more, I will “dish” the deets.

Bonanno adds new pizzeria

Chef and restaurateur Frank Bonanno was set to open his latest joint, Bonanno Brothers Pizzeria, on April 27 at The Vistas at Park Meadows. It’s his first venture outside of Denver, and the 10th addition to his rapidly growing empire, which includes Mizuna, Luca d’Italia, Bones, Osteria Marco, Green Russell, Lou’s Food Bar, Russell’s Smokehouse and Vesper Lounge. Say what you want about Bonanno, but his record with successful eateries speaks for itself. Bonanno Brothers Pizzeria will feature an open kitchen with an Italian wood-fire oven that will showcase pizza makers, cheese mongers and charcutiers. “The menu at Bonanno Brothers Pizzeria started as something simple — unifying standout items from Osteria Marco with some of our cherished appetizers from Luca d’Italia,” Bonanno said. “The entire menu represents the food I always look forward to sharing with my family.” Hours are 11 a.m. to close on Monday through Sunday with happy hour from 2 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8 to 10 p.m. Saturday. For more information, go to www.bonannobrotherspizzeria.com.

Oh, ick!

First Avenue Hotel and El Diablo and Sketch restaurant owner Jesse Morreale has far from come to terms with the city of Denver over alleged “safety violations” regarding his places of business. On April 25, Morreale lost yet another legal battle that said, barring improvements to the property, the city will have him shut down at First and Broadway on May 3. His attorney, David Foster, however, is fighting the order. For my part, I just hope that El Diablo stays open, because I think that space has been a real plus to that part of town. And executive chef Sean Yontz is the bomb (however you say that in Spanish) to that establishment. Stay tuned to this unfolding drama. Parker continues on Page 22

The B.I.G. Day – Community Tradition Continues It was a day of giving and gratitude, sweat equity and camaraderie, dirty hands and warm smiles as the third annual B.I.G. Day (B.I.G. stands for Be Involved, Give) proved that community spirit is alive and very well in South Metro Denver. The Chamber’s Non-profit & Business Partnership lead by Steve Bocher of Catch Fire Marketing as Chair, and Laurian Horowitz of Colorado Life Lessons as Event Chair continued the community tradition. Although the turnout was smaller than last year’s recordbreaking event, the almost 337 volunteers were very motivated with some nonprofits having to create additional projects as the planned ones were accomplished in record time. Activities ran the gamut from planting vegetables at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, to building storage racks and organizing at SheShe’s Corner and planting trees and weeding at the Denver Botanic Gardens community garden. Medical supplies were sorted at Project CURE for shipment to 3rd world hospitals, and food boxes were packed at the Jeffco Action Center. Thomas Messina of Mountaintop Acupuncture enjoyed getting dirty at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield: “It was great getting into the dirt to plant onions, I would work in the garden on a regular basis. It’s good to help the community. I want to thank the Chamber and everyone involved in making this happen. The Audubon Society of Greater Denver got trails cleaned up and readied for the summer months, and volunteers accomplished spring cleaning at Boys Hope Girls Hope. Alternatives Pregnancy

Center got their offices ship-shape in record time, and TLC Meals on Wheels of Littleton got must needed help with the preparation and delivery of meals to their elderly clients. South Suburban Parks got a sprucing up through the South Suburban Parks & Recreation Foundation volunteers while “spa boxes” were assembled for cancer patients at Spa 4 the Pink. “I’m a firm believer in giving to the community and whatever we give always seems to come back ten-fold. It also just plain feels good! Wonderful program! Great people! Thanks for facilitating and coordinating such an incredible event! Kudos to Lauren, the committee and all the sponsors,” stated Heidi Winter of European Wax Center who helped out at SheShe’s Corner. Many businesses and organizations came together and organized teams and groups of volunteers for the B.I.G. Day activities. CliftonLarsonAllen, InfoCubic, Webolutions, Silpada Designs, Leadapalooza Leads Group, The Leading Edge, Rotary Club of Littleton Sunrise, Catch Fire Marketing, Dream Catcher Affinity Group, American Heritage Girls, Sierra Ridge Networks, and NAMI Arapahoe/ Douglas County all came out in force to make the day a success. Brien Darby, Manager of the Denver Botanic Gardens community gardening program was thrilled with the experience. “I presented them with some very big tasks with a lot of digging and heavy lifting and they were just about the most enthusiastic group I have ever worked with! We completed all the tasks I had planned and even started on a few additional projects. I really appreciate the level of teamwork

and “ready for anything” attitude that we consistently receive from volunteers participating in the BIG help day.” After all of the hard work, it was time to blow off some steam as many of the volunteers gathered at the Chamber Center to celebrate the day. With a delicious lunch buffet served by event sponsor McCormick & Schmick’s, the group watched as Brian Olson of Conversation Starters had a video already prepared showing the day’s activities. The crowd gave a cheer of support for the B.I.G. Day and many expressed that this was just a beginning with many more hours of volunteer efforts were to come. Chamber Investor LokalMotion was also a sponsor of the event making it the best post-B.I.G. Day celebration yet. Chamber Nonprofit and Business Partnership Chair Steve Bocher of Catch Fire Marketing thanked the B.I.G. Day Organizing Committee members: Chair Laurian Horowitz of Colorado Life Lessons, Brian Olson of Conversation Starters, and Sandy Coen of SheShe’s Corner as well as all of the volunteers past and present. “ ...while the official tally isn’t in, you should take great pride in knowing that over the past three years 9,000-10,000 volunteer hours have been spent making our community a better, more prosperous place...and that thousands of lives have been touched because of the work that was accomplished during the B.I.G. Day. And also significant, thousands of people have been exposed to the great work of dozens of non-profits and many have stayed connected to these organizations and gone back to support them again!”

Midfielder helps turn game around Chaparral lacrosse team beats Highlands Ranch 17-14 By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Keenan Foshe felt like he was carrying the world on his shoulders. However, it took only 16 seconds for that self-imposed weight to ease as the junior midfielder led Chaparral to a key 1714 Douglas County League lacrosse victory over visiting Highlands Ranch on April 24. Foshe broke a 13-13 tie by winning two faceoffs, racing down field and scoring the first two of four Chaparral goals in the final 4:20 of the game. “I just put the world on my shoulders for some reason,” Foshe said. “I’m the first guy to touch the ball so I have the best

chance if I can win the faceoff and put it in the back of the net. That’s what I was thinking. All I want to do is win.” Foshe had five goals and four assists and won 11 of 19 faceoffs in the game that saw Highlands Ranch rally from a 7-3 halftime deficit to tie the game at 13-all with 4:27 remaining in regulation time. “He was tremendous on faceoffs and really just willed the ball into the back of the net,” Chaparral coach Mike Magrin said of Foshe. “He dug deep and basically broke it open for us. “Highlands Ranch did a tremendous job of coming back and tying it up. But Keenan put the whole thing on his shoulders and brought it to the house for us. He by far was the player of the game.” After the pair of goals by Foshe pushed the Wolverines ahead 15-13, Chaparral added two more goals to complete a fourgoal outburst in 2:24 to seal the victory. “That third quarter was a big momen-

tum shift when they tied it,” Magrin said. “We were able to kind of regain that momentum. We dug deep and played with good composure. “Our defense played pretty well. We put Gage Kuntz on their best player (Evan Wong) and he pretty much locked him off.” Wong had two assists in the game. Mitch Frydenlund and Jacob Pauley each had four goals to lead the Falcons. “We just didn’t play with any edge in the first half,” Highlands Ranch coach Matt Bocklet said. “We didn’t shoot well, we didn’t talk on defense and there was zero energy. I just told them you have to be a little more excited. We did a good job on offense coming back and then gave up transition goals.” Highlands Ranch outscored Chaparral 6-3 in the third quarter and actually went ahead 9-8 on a goal by Max Abbott, but a goal by Foshe tied the game and a tally by Mitch Ross pushed the Wolverines in front heading into the fourth quarter.

The win was a key for Chaparral’s bid to get the automatic playoff seed as the champion of the Douglas County League. The league winner will definitely be in the 16-team state playoff field with either 11 or 12 wild-card bids up for grabs. Chaparral was tied for first with Rock Canyon heading into the final week of the regular season. Both teams have 9-1-0 league records, but the Wolverines beat the Jaguars 14-5 on March 19. “This was a huge game for us to retain league championship abilities,” Magrin said. “Dropping a game from here on out would drop us out of the picture.” Chaparral beat Legend 10-5 on April 25 as Foshe, Wyatt Jones and Alex Spinder each scored two goals. Highlands Ranch was 5-2 in league play (8-5 overall) and fourth in the league standings. “We have to win every one if we want to make the state playoffs,” said Bocklet.

Continental League unsettled as regular season nears end Baseball teams scramble for spots in playoffs By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Continental League baseball teams wrap up regular-season play this week, but there was still a lot to be decided in the closing games. The top five teams in the league will earn automatic spots in the 32-team state playoff bracket, with seedings still to be

determined. There will also be seven wildcard berths available, and several Continental teams will be scrambling to improve their credentials. Chaparral, the state’s No 2 ranked Class 5A team, faced Rock Canyon April 29, ThunderRidge May 1, and a yet-to-berescheduled makeup game against Mountain Vista as the Wolverines tried to hold off second-place Regis Jesuit and possibly host one of the eight district tournaments that will be played May 11. Max Kuhns struck out 11 batters as Chaparral scored once in the bottom of the

sixth and pushed across the winning run in the bottom of the seventh to edge Douglas County 3-2 April 25. Spencer Olwell and Zac Guy collected the runs batted in. The Wolverines notched a five-inning 12-2 league win over Castle View April 26 but dropped a 5-4 non-league game to No. 7 Rocky Mountain at Coors Field April 27, which snapped Chaparral’s 10-game winning streak. It was a tough game for Chaparral coach Tony Persichina to manage. Obviously the Wolverines wanted to win against a team ranked in the top 10,

but at the same time, Persichina wanted to let all his players get into the game played at the home of the National League Colorado Rockies. Kuhns, the Wolverines’ leading batter, hit ninth in the lineup. “It’s an experience you cannot take away from the kids,” Persichina said. “We started one through five in the lineup, guys that don’t get a lot of playing time, but if I have the opportunity for kids to play on a stage like this, to take that away from them Baseball continues on Page 24

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS ROUNDUP Ranch swimmer has fastest time

Nathan Mueller of Highlands Ranch has the fastest time recorded in the state in the 500-yard freestyle, according to Class 5A swimming times released April 24. Mueller, a junior who was second in the 500 at last season’s state meet, swam a 4:36.41 March 30 at the Dick Rush Memorial Coaches Invitational meet. He also has recorded the fifth quickest time in the 50-yard freestyle with a 46.96 clocking. Mueller’s teammate Matthew Reed’s time of 1:53.55 is the second fastest on record this season

in the 200-yard individual medley. Carter Griffin, the defending 200 and 500 freestyle state champion who swims for Ponderosa’s coop team, has the state’s second fastest time of 49.65 in the 100 backstroke and the third best time of 51.95 in the 100 butterfly. John Jenner of Douglas County/Castle View is listed third in times recorded in the 50 freestyle with a 21.58, and his 46.96 clocking in the 100 freestyle ranked fifth.

would not be right. “It was tough. You still want to win the game. You second-guess yourself, but you know you are doing the right thing for your players and students.” Spencer Ibarra’s two-run double in the bottom of the sixth inning provided Rocky Mountain with the winning margin. Lobos starting pitcher Grant Gamble struck out the first six batters he faced and fanned nine of the 19 batters. Chaparral had most of its regulars in the lineup in the closing innings and had the tying run on base in the seventh. “It was timely hits by them and no timely hits by us and pitchers not having command and throwing balls.” Persichina said. “We move a guy one spot, our pitcher locates the ball and it’s a different ball game. Our kids have to understand that this is one game and move on. We have to finish strong

Vista, Rock Canyon 1-2 on pitch

Mountain Vista girls soccer team was top-ranked in the Class 5A poll that was released April 29 and Rock Canyon was listed as the No. 2 team. In the Class 4A girls soc-

going into the playoffs. ThunderRidge dropped out of a second-place tie when the Grizzlies lost, 5-3, to Regis April 26. The loss followed a 9-2 win over Mountain Vista April 25 that was highlighted by Brody Westmoreland’s home run, two hits and three RBIs. ThunderRidge scored 11 runs in the sixth inning in a 17-0 rout over Heritage that saw Westmoreland collect three hits. ThunderRidge scored twice in the bottom of the seventh against Regis, but Brody Weiss’ controversial tworun home run in the Raiders’ 3-run fourth inning provided the winning margin. ThunderRidge argued that the home run, hit down the third base line, was foul. “We just couldn’t get that big hit,” ThunderRidge coach Joe White said. “Regis is a good team. We fought them hard and it was good for us to play a game like that to see where we are. We battled at the end and that was nice to see.” But what about Weiss’ homer?

cer poll, Valor Christian was sixth. Chaparral dropped from second to third in the Class 5A baseball poll with ThunderRidge ranked fifth. Regis Jesuit was the third Continental League team in the Top 10 with the Raiders holding down the eighth position. Valor Christian was fourth in the Class 4A rankings while Lutheran was listed fifth among the top Class 2A teams. Rock Canyon was ninth in the Class 5A boys lacrosse rankings while Valor was sixth and Ponderosa eighth in the Class 4A poll. Chaparral was seventh in the girls lacrosse poll.

“There was absolutely no chance that the ball was fair,” White said. “They beat us by two and that was a 2-run homer. That’s the difference in the game.” There wasn’t much difference between Legend, Castle View, Mountain Vista and Rock Canyon heading into the final week of the regular season as they try to secure the fourth- and fifthplace spots in the league standings. Only two of the four have a chance to claim an automatic state playoff berth. The other teams will have to sweat out an at-large bid. Alex Atwood pitched a 2-hit shutout when Castle View blanked Legend, 5-0, April 24. The Sabercats whipped Heritage, 15-6, on April 25, lost to Chaparral April 26 and edged Rock Canyon, 6-5, on April 27, as Zach Broussely and Ben Dalke each had two hits in the victory. Peyton Remy had two of Legend’s six hits in a 6-1 win over Ponderosa April 25 which was sandwiched between the loss to Castle View and a 9-2 setback to Regis April 27.
