Car chase leads to mail-theft probe Investigation could reach nationwide By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com Parker police are investigating an identity-theft case that began with the vehicle pursuit of two women. The incident began around 6 a.m., Jan. 18, with an alert to be on the lookout for a Dodge truck stolen out of Castle Rock, said Parker Detective Penny VanDenBerg. Within minutes of the alert, officers spotted the Dodge being tailed by a Ford Expedition

and launched a chase near Crowfoot Valley and Stroh roads. Officers called off the pursuit when the Ford crashed into an unattended parked car near Mainstreet and Dransfeldt. The driver of the Ford, Amber Garcia, Garcia 22, of Denver, attempted to escape on foot and was apprehended by police. Investigators later found the Ford was reported stolen out of Commerce City. The unidentified woman who was driving the Dodge eluded capture, VanDenBerg said. Aurora police found the Dodge about two-and-a-half hours later, abandoned in

Aurora. A search warrant for the Ford led to the discovery of thousands of pieces of mail and financial documents, credit card information and prescription medications strewn on the floorboards, backseat and in backpacks. Investigators also found vehicle registrations and documents that indicated the suspects broke into cars throughout the metro area, VanDenBerg said. Personal information recovered points to victims from Castle Rock, Denver, Westminster, Aurora, Evans, Alamosa, Greeley, Colorado Springs and Villa Grove, VanDenBerg said. Police also found handwritten notes with credit card information for individu-

als from Kansas, Illinois and Iowa, she said. The scope of the suspected identity theft ring could continue to grow as investigators sift through thousands of documents, VanDenBerg said. “I’ve never seen anything like this,” she said. “Unfortunately we deal with identity theft more frequently than not. But something that starts out with stolen vehicles and turns out to be this, there’s definitely more out there that we need to investigate.” VanDenBerg contacted individuals whose prescription medications were recovered and those who appear to be missing a substantial amount of mail. The investigation indicates the prescription medications were sent by mail, VanDenTheft continues on Page 11

Homeless invited in from cold Douglas County survey doubles as outreach By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com Douglas County took advantage of Colorado’s Point in Time survey, counting the statewide homeless population, with a safe haven for at least one evening. The Douglas County Community of Care Network participated in the state’s yearly homeless head count by reaching out with free immunizations, bicycles, food, clothing, a hot meal and more. The event included nearly 30 service providers whose efforts serve the county’s homeless and at-risk communities throughout the year. The Jan. 29 event

moved to the Lone Tree campus of the Jubilee Fellowship Church as a more central location for those facing transportation challenges, said Rand Clark, Douglas County community of care navigator. Clark worked with about 100 church volunteers and about 15 community volunteers who served a meal of chili with sides, drinks and treats for families and individuals invited to “Come in From the Cold.” Campus pastor Marcus Piller was on hand working the volunteer network. “I’m all about opening the doors to reach out to those in need as well as providing them with an opportunity to get a leg up,” Piller said. “It’s really about raising awareness and gives us a way to have our finger in the community we serve.” The homeless community included about 28 families who were provided free

haircuts, medical checks, diapers and bags filled with food, personal hygiene products and makeup. Total individuals served: 56. “We wanted to include some fun things you can’t get on food stamps or at a food bank,” Clark said. “For the ladies it’s something to make a difference.” Natalie Ibarra, 28, of Castle Rock, attended with her two children and headed straight for the temporary salon in the church basement. It had been a while since Elijah, 8, and Mizhka, 3, had received a trim, Ibarra said. Ibarra is a single mom and 2003 graduate of Douglas County High School who in 2012 moved back home with her parents. “For the first time we’ve felt the recession,” she said. “I lost my job and I had to move back in.

Language describing the International Baccalaureate program echoes the Douglas County School District’s explanation of its world-class education curriculum. But IB is only a piece of the district’s relatively new approach, officials say. “IB is one of the programming options we have available to us, but we never believe one size fits all,” said Carolyn Jefferson-Jenkins, the district’s chief academic officer of secondary education. “As we try to personalize and customize education for students, we have to offer choices,” she said. “Our world-class education is the broad umbrella for all the other programming options that are available. IB is one of those stems in the umbrella.” The curriculum is designed to keep pace with a rapidly changing world, so “students will be able to compete against students across the nation and the world for the most sought-after careers,” according to the DCSD website. It emphasizes critical thinking, collaboration, civic responsibility, global awareness, ethics and civic responsibility. IB, a European-developed program with tiers aimed at specific age groups, helps “develop the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalizing world,” according to its website. It places a strong emphasis on foreign language, cross-cultural understanding and research. “Most of the tenets of IB are part of a world-class education,” Jefferson-Jenkins said. “But there are other models of instruction that get to the same world-class targets that IB does. “Some students and parents in Douglas County may not want that much emphasis on a foreign language. They may want an emphasis on something else.” STEM-specific, career-focused and technical education programs offered in DCSD all are part of the world-class educa IB continues on Page 11

We, the people, are in this together As President Obama’s words rang out from Capitol Hill into my family room, as the camera panned over the thousands bearing witness to his second inaugural address, I found myself moved. By the significance of the tradition, its symbolism and shout to the world that regardless of who was elected, this transition from one presidential term to another would be a peaceful one. By words that spoke of equality for all. And by faces that seemed at once jubilant and expectant. “We, the people …,” President Obama repeated throughout. “We, the people …” But as I watched and listened, enveloped in the moment’s oneness, a question slipped in: Do we all feel as if we are the people? Those three words have become a mantra of what America represents, taken from the document this country was built on: “We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain

and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” It is a lofty ideal that at times has been shoved into the shadows by such abuses as slavery and inequality of rights because of gender, race and religion. That we have amended some of those wrongs is an inspiring tribute to our foundation. But we are, most definitely, a work still in progress. “‘We, the people’ is our vision for America,” says Amy Montague, a social studies teacher for 15 years whose passion for history lights her eyes and fills her voice. “‘We, the people’ is what we are always aspiring to be.” Empowered toward unity. Even when it is difficult to achieve. Stephanie Noll is a social worker for Mi Casa Resource Center, which serves the underemployed and unemployed in the Denver area. She works daily with

women and men struggling to overcome financial, educational and other challenges in their pursuit of stability. “When people don’t have access to be able to meet their basic needs,” she says, “they don’t feel included as the ‘we’ who are taken care of in society.” Something as simple as language can exclude people from the circle, says Alejandra Harguth, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Mexico who works with immigrants in Littleton. “Just because you were born somewhere else doesn’t mean you are different from the person next to you” in terms of human value. Moe Keller, a Democrat who championed mental health, child care and developmentally disabled issues during her years in the Colorado House and Senate, believes that, overall, the country’s “general welfare” isn’t being promot-

ed as the Constitution asks. “We need to invest and believe in ourselves. I don’t think we do that right now,” says Keller, who taught special education for 25 years and remains active in the mental health arena. “Even at the federal level, we don’t,” referring to the legislative fight over Hurricane Sandy disaster relief and other political challenges to civic and social programs. “I believe in economic patriotism,” she says. “We have an obligation and a duty to pay taxes because democracy is not free. Taxes are not evil. They are what keeps us going as a country.” To Bob Beauprez, a buffalo rancher and former Republican congressman who ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2006, President Obama’s “we, the people” means “we, the government.” John F. Kennedy had it right, Beauprez says, when he proclaimed in his inaugural address, “‘Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.’ It’s bigger than us. The cause is bigger than us.” But the elemental essence of “we, the people” as an instrument of cohesion and change gives us the tools — despite differing

ing he doesn’t agree with all its tenets, points to the Tea Party movement. “The people were saying loud and clear, ‘Something’s really screwed up here … and we have to get off our couches and do something about it,” he says. “That kind of citizen action … it’s an extremely healthy ‘we, the people’ kind of statement.” Noll, the social worker, isn’t sure those who are marginalized ever fully feel included in society as a whole. But the success of her program’s participants — representing such a broad diversity — gives her hope. “There is a sense of empowerment in that process,” she acknowledges. “People do regain a sense of belonging.” Amy Montague, the teacher, looks to history for reaffirmation. If it’s read just right, Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation can still move her to tears. The power of the words and the foresight and courage it took to write and deliver them take her back to the nation’s roots and remind her of its strength. The people. “People have to remember where we came from and that we can get through whatever is happening,” she says. “We can, as a people, make it.” Our founding fathers believed we could. I do, too. We just can’t ever forget the “we.”

philosophical views on government — to work toward that dream of unity. The teacher, the social worker, the politician and the community activist see evidence of it every day. Steve Burkholder, a former mayor of Lakewood, talks about the sales tax increase of 2005 that led to the building of a new mall and increased revenue during tough financial times. The city asked its residents, “What type of city do you want?” Burkholder remembers. “We can give you this type of city at 2 percent sales tax or we can give you this type of city at 3 percent sales tax. This is your choice. We had this dialogue about it and we talked about it and we tore down their favorite mall …. The citizens were a part of it. That was ‘we, the people.’ ” He talks about the importance of establishing inclusivity across all areas, from ethnicity to gender to income level, and excitedly mentions an early intervention educational program that will soon begin in the city. “We have this opportunity to make a major difference.” That kind of empowerment of others, he says, is “we, the people.” Keller highlights community service organizations such as Optimist, Rotary and Kiwanis, which regularly provide scholarships to young people for higher education. One, in particular, recognizes students who have stayed in school despite great adversity. “They want these people to be successful,” Keller says. “This is ‘we, the people.’ ” Beauprez, although say-

Family pets victims of attack, not gunfire Preliminary report indicates two dogs were crushed, bitten By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcolorado news.com A Castle Rock family convinced their dogs were victims of foul play received word the animals likely died in a wildlife attack. Warren and Diana Lubliner discovered their fallen pets in their backyard days before the couple was due in court to face animal nuisance charges. The two live in the Red Hawk subdivision and were certain that 5-year-old toy poodle Quincy and Baxter,

a 12-year-old Maltese, died of gunshot wounds. The ensuing police investigation indicated otherwise. Castle Rock police confirmed Jan. 29 that the pets suffered crushing, biting and shaking wounds consistent with an animal attack, said Karen McGrath, police spokeswoman. As of Jan. 31, police were awaiting the full necropsy report from Colorado State University, McGrath said. A necropsy is equivalent to an autopsy on an animal. The preliminary necropsy report showed no sign of gunshot wounds. “It wasn’t a shooting, it was an animal that attacked these dogs,” McGrath said. “We don’t know what type

of wild animal; we would say a coyote or a fox. It is still under investigation.” Around 10:45 p.m. the night of the attack, Diana Lubliner let three of the family’s four pets out in the backyard and checked on them about 45 minutes later, she said. The yard is adjacent to a walking trail and enclosed by a split rail fence. She found two of her pets dead when the family Pekingese came to the back door alone, Diana Lubliner said. In the minutes before the discovery, she and her husband heard no barking or alarm to indicate the presence of a wild animal. “If you see the wounds it appears it’s something other than an animal attack,” Diana Lubliner said. “They both had one entry wound and both were right around their heart area. I’ve seen animals attacked by coyotes and these (dogs) were not attacked by coyotes. They were intact, there was no fur everywhere, no tears. “I’m just sick about this and I just don’t think this was something that wasn’t human inflicted,” she said.

LAUNCHING FEBRUARY 10, 10AM MAMMOTH HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY PARKER, CO

Two Douglas County sheriff’s deputies left the department amid an internal affairs investigation into claims of excessive force. The claims were raised by Reese Slade, an Elizabeth man convicted as a habitual offender for a 2010 case that involved officer gunfire. Slade was shot in the head on Feb. 5, 2010, while he was using his vehicle to advance on an officer who was trying to arrest him. Slade, who was treated for his injuries and eventually faced trial, was found guilty Jan. 28 of assault, attempted assault and menacing charges for his actions during the incident.

In the days before his trial began, the sheriff’s office received notice that Slade claimed a backup officer used excessive force during the arrest. The sheriff’s office immediately launched an internal affairs investigation into the allegations, leading to the departure of two of the office’s longterm deputies, said Undersheriff Tony Spurlock. Detective Beth Ondrak reportedly lied to investigators and resigned on Dec. 5, 2012, before the conclusion of the internal investigation, Spurlock said. Ondrak had been with the sheriff’s office since 2006. Deputy Gerritt Kaufman refused to cooperate with the investigation and on Dec. 17, 2012, was terminated from his position, Spurlock said. Kaufman was a K-9 officer who had been with the sheriff’s office since 2002. “The Douglas County Sheriff’s Of-

fice doesn’t tolerate untruthfulness,” Spurlock said. “You are required to cooperate with an internal investigation. (Kaufman) chose not to do so and was terminated.” Slade claimed an officer kicked him during the 2010 arrest. The internal affairs investigation disclosed Kaufman used his foot to gain control and hold Slade to the ground, Spurlock said. The failure to report the incident at the time of the arrest was a violation of a Colorado law that requires report of excessive force within 10 days of the event, Spurlock said. “We will not tolerate employees that lie or do not cooperate with an investigation,” he said. “We’re disappointed in our officers, they discredited the entire department. We pride ourselves on providing the best possible officers and service to the community and these two officers didn’t do that.”

Reese Slade was convicted Jan. 28 following a jury trial in which he was found guilty of assault in the first degree on a Douglas County Sheriff’s Office deputy, attempted assault in the first degree on a Castle Rock Police Department officer and menacing on a second s h e r i f f ’s deputy. T h e conviction stemmed from a Feb. 5, 2010, i n c i d e n t Slade when Slade was pulled over on Caprice Drive following a traffic report of a DUI. When Slade was ordered to exit his vehicle, Slade refused and eventually drove off with the first deputy hanging out of his car. After crashing his vehicle into a fence, Slade drove

forward toward a second deputy, who used his handgun to fire at Slade. Slade suffered a glancing gunshot wound to the head, said Undersheriff Tony Spurlock. At the time, Slade and the injured deputy were treated and released for their injuries. In a subsequent search of Slade’s vehicle, officers recovered a loaded handgun, a quarter pound of methamphetamine and some oxycodone. At the time of his arrest, Slade had several prior convictions including a 2006 conviction for felony possession with intent to distribute a schedule I controlled substance and a 1995 conviction for felony theft from the elderly. “I am very thankful to the jury and to the 18th Judicial District for all their efforts to bring a very dangerous man to justice,” said Sheriff Dave Weaver.

“I hope Slade’s conviction brings some peace to those officers whose lives were put on the line that fateful evening.” The case against Slade was investigated by Castle Rock Police, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, the Colorado State Patrol, the Colorado Bureau of Investigations and the 18th Judicial District critical response team. The day after Slade’s conviction, Douglas County District Court Judge Richard Caschette found Slade was a habitual offender, after prosecutors proved four prior felony convictions beyond a reasonable doubt. As a result of his habitual offender status, Slade faces a minimum of 64 years in prison, according to the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office. His sentencing commences March 22 in Douglas County District Court.

e Lawmakers pay visit to town council State legislators provide updates on General Assembly By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com

Castle Rock town councilmembers hosted state legislators in a visit designed as a sounding board for local leaders. The discussion Jan. 28 welcomed state lawmakers from the Castle Rock area as well as U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner, of Colorado’s 4th Congressional District. State Sen. Mark Scheffel (District 4), state Rep. Carole Murray (District 45) and state Rep. Polly Lawrence (District 39) provided updates on this year’s legislative session. Among the top-of-mind pieces of legislation for 2013 is Senate Bill 25, the collective bargaining bill for firefighters. The bill is opposed by the Colorado Municipal League, and councilmembers supported the league’s position. The visit came within a couple weeks of the start of the 2013 legislative session, muchwhich this year saw a swing in power that d toplaced Douglas County’s delegation, all Requitepublicans, among the minority at the state Capitol. With both the Senate and House dueunder Democratic leadership, the main astlegoal among Republicans is to take a cauCas-tious approach to this year’s session. ed to “Our philosophy is to do no harm,” ck toScheffel said. “We need to be kind of meantrol p was Grath

umbrella, he said. In cooperation with Murray at the House level, he is also working on telecommunications reform. Murray continues to work on education reform with House Bill 1023, which requires each school district and institute charter school to adopt a policy concerning academic acceleration for students.

The day of her visit with town council, the bill had gained the support of the House Education Committee, according to an announcement from the House Republicans. “A cookie-cutter approach to education does not work for all students,” Murray said. “This bill helps us identify our state’s advanced students so we can offer them coursework in line with their intellectual ability.” Legislators acknowledged marijuana legislation will be a “huge” issue this session and promised councilmembers they would support local control measures in the language of any proposed bill. “Let’s see what we can do to empower you however we can,” Murray said. “Castle Rock has a plan for how you build your growth and we want to be sure the state Legislature doesn’t get in the way of building those plans.” Lawrence, who represents the rural areas of Douglas County and all of Teller County, is on the state’s transportation and energy committees, which continues to address oil and gas issues. Castle Rock participates in an oil and gas coalition in Douglas County, which is focused on groundwater protection issues, said Mark Stevens, town manager. “Fracking is on everybody’s hit list,” Lawrence said. “They don’t want to have any sort of expansion on the industry that is bringing us our greatest revenue right now.” To view information about the 2013 legislative session or to read bills submitted by state representatives, visit www.leg.state. co.us.

Study shows equestrian community a strong economic driver By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews. com The horse industry in Douglas and Elbert counties is estimated to be worth between $100 million and $135 million annually, according to a study commissioned by the Colorado Horse Park. Research by Summit Economics, LLC, an independent firm hired by the international equestrian event venue just south of Parker, confirmed a widely held belief: that horses are a major economic driver in the two counties. Analysts spent months conducting surveys and looking at overall consumer spending on horses in the neighboring counties, including riding lessons, feed, tack, trailers, vetFREE erinary bills and boarding. As much Estimages & Inspections as $135 million is spent each year, and Colorado Horse Park founder Helen Krieble says that number would likely be higher in a stable economy. The horse park itself generates more than $15 million in spending by spectators, staff and competitors, many of whom stay in area hotels and eat at local restaurants. Total spending by competitors on lodging, food and other personal shopping was $917,000 spread over an average of 22 days. Additionally, the facility’s maintenance crew spent roughly $100,000 last year at Home Depot. The study found that the equestrian industry in Douglas and Elbert counties supports between 1,400 and 1,950 direct and indirect jobs, of which more than 300 come from the horse park. Krieble pointed out that horse park officials were careful to hire an outside firm rather than launching an in-house study that could possibly produce skewed numbers. Several key players funded the $15,000 study, in-

File photo HORSE INDUSTRY STUDY, BY THE NUMBERS • Douglas/Elbert counties horse industry spending: $100 million to $135 million • Colorado Horse Park generates $15 million annually in spending • Industry supports 1,400-1,950 direct and indirect jobs in Douglas and Elbert counties • Douglas County’s horse population ranks 40th in the nation • 66 percent of survey respondents make more than $250K per year cluding the two counties and various horse advocacy groups. “These are very real numbers,” she said, adding that her long-standing assumptions about the industry are now quantified with solid figures. Krieble hopes the financial impact study results will get the attention of elected officials and business leaders who might be interested in the mutual benefits of a strong partnership. Unlike publicly subsidized venues like the Douglas County Fairgrounds,

the Colorado Horse Park is a privately funded 501(c)(3) that relies, in part, on sponsorships from local companies like Parker Adventist Hospital. Private funding enables the horse park to maintain its autonomy. “That’s really what makes a place like this work,” Krieble said. The equestrian industry is being “threatened on every front” by what Krieble calls “hostile regulations” that make it increasingly difficult for smaller operations to stay open. Commercial taxes, mandatory inspections and egregious rules result in smaller profit margins. Krieble says she would be heartbroken if the Colorado Horse Park ever caved to pressure to become a commercial development. “We’re stubborn,” she says with a laugh. “We’ve been here for 20 years and we will fight to keep it going and keep it healthy.” The horse park hopes to further expand its financial impact by possibly building an indoor arena that can accommodate events year-round.

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews. com A development group from Washington, D.C., hopes to create a bustling economic corridor that would pave the way for employment centers and new homes between Parker and Castle Rock. John Lay, the former head of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce, is representing a group that he says can secure federal and private funding to extend Stroh Road and turn it into a thriving hub of commerce. A study by Aurora-based THK Associates estimates that the $25 million to $30 million road project would ultimately lead to $7.2 billion in market value to the county, including $6.4 billion in residential real estate. Lay, who first presented his ideas to the Parker Water and Sanitation District board of directors in December, also believes the inclusion of more users into the water district would spread the costs of paying off the bonds that funded the construction of RueterHess Reservoir. It would also provide more financial leverage for purchasing water to fill the 70,000 acre-foot reservoir, which now contains less than 10,000 acre-feet of water. “If people are concerned about the lack of water and high water bills, this is the most direct way to solve those problems,” Lay said. The recent discussions are breathing new life into a proposal that local leaders thought had been permanently shelved. The establishment of Hess Road as an alternative route between Parker and Interstate 25 last year was

regarded as the answer to the Parker Water and Sanitation District’s opposition to the construction of Stroh Road. Former PWSD district manager Frank Jaeger, who retired at the end of 2012, rebuffed a Douglas Countyproposed road alignment that he said would have required the bridging of inlet channels into Rueter-Hess Reservoir. He feared that road chemicals and possible hazardous materials spills could compromise the integrity of the town’s water supply. Bridges would not be required with the proposed road alignment, says Lay, who has had informal discussions with the developers of The Canyons, a residential development planned on the east side of I-25. The group has also contacted leaders from the Town of Parker, who believe that any transportation corridor leading to I-25 would benefit the longterm economic vitality of the town. However, there are several questions that still need to be answered, including determining how federal highway dollars get spent on a county road that is no longer on the Denver Regional Council of Government’s Transportation Improvement Plan. Parker’s town manager Randy Young wants to know whether there have been discussions with major players who would be involved in such a massive undertaking, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Douglas County. Lay, who is representing the plan on behalf of former U.S. Army General Paul Weaver, says he is in the preliminary stages of scheduling more formal presentations to local leaders. He believes the Parker Water and Sanitation District is logically the first place to start, but board member Bill Wasserman said Lay might be “putting the

cart before the horse.” Wasserman says the process should begin with the town and county, where the land use plans are approved. A county spokeswoman deferred comment until a formal presentation is made to the commissioners. There is the looming question of where exactly the federal money is coming from. “We have asked for specificity on more than one occasion regarding where federal dollars have been allocated for this project, either as part of federal legislation or as a budget line item, and been provided no information despite these repeated requests,” Young said via email. Despite the lack of clarity, there is still interest in the plan. Town leaders want to attract new businesses to Parker, and the need for additional rooftops is always a “top priority,” Young said. Ever since the Stroh Ranch property was annexed into the Town of Parker in 1984, long-range planners have anticipated another 25,00030,000 in population. “Therefore, we have been preparing for this level of development for the last 28 years,” Young said. He pointed out that the housing and commercial development referenced by Lay is what has been long projected, even without the Stroh Road connection to I-25. If it can be demonstrated to the town that the connection accelerates those economic impacts, Young believes elected officials would be supportive. The developers want to work quickly and hope officials will expedite the process. “If there is not a willingness to consider the option, I represent folks that won’t beat their heads against the wall long term,” Lay said.

Education group makes Capitol visit Year of the Student urges lawmakers to increase school funding By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com

Several Douglas County parents and students made known their concerns about education funding at the state Capitol Jan. 30. They were among about 200 people representing the Year of the Student Coalition who delivered a call-to-action letter to legislators. The letter was signed by nearly 9,000 people with support from more than 150 organizations. Coalition organizers say recession-induced cuts to an already struggling state education system have reduced Colorado school funding to intolerable levatelyels. t, on Colorado ranks 42nd in the country, aniesspending $2,518 less per pupil than the naPri-tional average, according to the Colorado rk toSchool Finance Project. “2013 is a deadline,” said Denver’s Lisa placeWeil, spokeswoman for Great Education Colorado. being “Year after year, we just seem to say this whatis just how Colorado is, there’s nothing we ons”can do.

turn the state around, Weil said. “People understand we have done real damage to our schools the last four years,” she said, citing Colorado’s TABOR and Gallagher amendments among the contributing factors. “Put that together with the recession, and it was just the perfect storm,” she said. The Douglas County School Board is not among the 30 boards listed as coalition supporters. But board member Kevin Larsen said they’re listening. “I think anything coming out of that group is a statewide solution,” Larsen said. “Certainly, Douglas County is part of that. But their efforts are targeted toward the Legislature.” He said he wants to take a “judicious, thoughtful” approach to the problem. “This goes into the degree that individual districts have over how they apply (funding),” he said. The board long has expressed concern about DCSD’s funding. Among the state’s 178 districts, DCSD’s funding is 20th from the bottom, according to the Colorado Department of Education. That’s because the district has a relatively low number of students considered at-risk, who typically are more expensive to educate. “(The coalition’s) idea is great. I haven’t endorsed or criticized it,” he said, adding he’ll reserve judgment “until there are more specifics.” State Sen. Ted Harvey (R-Highlands Ranch) said the Year of the Student coalition is preaching to the choir. “Their intent was to say `focus on education,’ and we already do,” he said. “I think people will be happy to see the state starting to increase the funding for education in comparison to what we’ve done in the past.” Year of the Student was launched by Great Education Colorado, a grassroots group advocating for greater investment in K-12 and college education.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Let’s pass on another round of drinking bill The “drinking with Dad” bill that was killed in committee last week made for lively conversation around water coolers and dinner tables. We don’t mind that it failed — we are gripped by so many other matters at the Statehouse — but we stop short of calling the bill ridiculous. The failed notion — sponsored by state Sen. Greg Brophy — would have allowed parents to share alcoholic drinks with their 18-to-20-year-old children at restaurants or bars, ideally preparing them for the responsibilities of becoming 21. While it was pointed out several other states allow the practice, the committee gave little ground and defeated the measure 4-1. We agree with an oft-mentioned counterpoint that restaurant servers would face the onus of verifying parents and children

before serving the 18-to-20-year-olds. The extra duty could put the servers in a tough spot as noted by state Sen. Evie Hudak, DWestminster. Maybe it would be a big pain or maybe not, but for now we agree with keeping a clean line of law in the public arena concerning the drinking age of 21. And we side with those who say it’s enough that parents have the legal opportunity to serve and teach their children about alcohol at home. Home is an excellent place to cover alcohol and responsible drinking. Further, it’s a fine place to learn how to prepare for the public arena with good skills in assigning designated drivers, as well as being aware one drink — depending on factors such as beverage and weight of the person — can put someone on the

Bright idea: Start hoarding 60s It is time to start hoarding 60-watt light bulbs just like Twinkies. After Jan. 1, 2014, it will be illegal to sell them. But presumably you will still be able to buy an assault rifle. Say what? Incandescent light bulbs are being phased out. We’ve already said goodbye to 100-watt and 75-watt bulbs. Did you know that? It’s illegal to manufacture or import them, but they can still be sold until they are all gone. And don’t worry, the Light Bulb Constables are not going to break down your door. I don’t think the disappearance of incandescent bulbs will affect people the way the disappearance of Twinkies did. It’s hard to get too sentimental about light bulbs. I didn’t suffer for very long when they stopped making cassettes either. The newer helical, integrated, compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) is niftier looking, even though it does have more surfaces for dust. I’ve never been very good at dusting my light bulbs. Now I will be even worse at it. I need someone to shed some light on this: “CFLs radiate a spectral power distribution that is different from that of incandescent lamps. Improved phosphor formulations have improved the perceived colour of the light emitted by CFLs, such that some sources rate the best ‘soft white’ CFLs as subjectively similar in colour to standard incandescent lamps.” Right. I guess we can’t go back again. But we can go back to vinyl. You can still buy record players and you can still buy vinyl records. Some people swear by the quality of vinyl over CDs. I gave all of mine to my friend Greg. He treats them with a lot of respect. Records used to come in big paper sleeves. Paper is a wood-based product, and paper can be abrasive. Vinyl collectors often swap out the paper sleeves for something more archival. Are we going to have light bulb pirates? Music is pretty easy to pirate, but it might be quite a chore to pirate 60-watt light bulbs. Where are you going to do it? I think once they’re all gone, they’re all gone.

Are there songs about light bulbs? Or poems? Yes. I found both. But none of them is very memorable. Have you ever turned on a light and had it light for an instant and then burn out? Right then it’s kind of poetic. A final flare. We have the same thing prolonged in another way every autumn, when a green leaf turns yellow and orange, and then falls brown. I am having a hard time getting too nostalgic about this. Most of my incandescent bulbs aren’t bare, so I don’t see them, just their benefits. I didn’t get very nostalgic about Twinkies either. They are nasty things to begin with. Vulgar little sponges filled with who-knowswhat? Just don’t touch my Red Vines. After Jan. 1, 2014, those born will some day have to be told about light bulbs just like my parents had to tell me about tin toys and candlestick telephones. Technology moves things in and moves things out very fast these days. The humble light bulb had a good, long lifetime. Edison filed for the patent in 1879, and it was granted on Jan. 27, 1880. I invented something last summer and pitched it to an outfit that takes an idea and develops it on behalf of the inventor. For an arm and a leg. I had neither. They promised not to manufacture it. But I have a hunch I will see my bright idea at Home Depot some day. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast. net

wrong side of the mark in a Breathalyzer test. As for the other side of the argument, we certainly accept the valid view of state Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch. As the only vote for the bill, he said when his son turns 18, he will be able to fight in Afghanistan but will not be able to have a drink with his parents at a restaurant. That is a tough shot. Harvey’s comment echoed a debate that has decidedly diminished since the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984. This strong-arm bill passed by the Congress subjects states with a minimum age for drinking that is below 21 to a 10 percent decrease in annual federal highway funds. It was a brilliant way for proponents to keep the age at 21 because most states, like

Colorado, so need transportation dollars for highways and aging bridges. But it’s simply not right. The drinking age, at its core an issue of individual liberty, should not be held hostage to the pocketbook issue of transportation dollars. Interestingly, incongruent laws that put voting and military service at 18 and drinking alcohol at 21 crudely reflect the true nature of coming of age where attaining maturity doesn’t happen on a certain birthday or day for each individual. But just maybe someday these laws will better align to clearly and legally mark adulthood while surrounding responsibilities and efforts — such as reducing drunk driving — are just as vigilant as ever in striving to balance our safety with our liberties.

Navigating the moguls of life Have you ever watched a really accomplished skier as he or she skied the moguls? They make it look easy as they seem to gracefully maneuver the bumps, have no wasted motions, all muscle groups are working in harmony, and they just look technically perfect and simply incredible. Then, have you ever observed an intermediate skier tackling that same terrain? They move slower, seem to try and go around each mogul, stop frequently, and in some cases find themselves sliding down the mountain, out of their gear after trying a little harder or getting a little more aggressive. And then they get up, usually with a little assistance, and continue to work their way down the mountain. In either case, whether we are extremely proficient or working on getting there, when we have spent some time in the bumps, and move on to find one of those intermediate groomed blue cruisers, we feel better about ourselves and our ability, we may even feel awesome as our confidence soars. I am not sure about you, but for me I have experienced this same feeling in other areas of my life as well. No one is an expert at anything before they learn a skill, develop a talent, and take the time to practice. It is in the practice where we make the most strides and advancements of our skills and talents. As a young salesman responsible for developing a territory and cold calling I had to learn the communication skills necessary to open doors and opportunities. It was only after many cold calls and knocking on doors that I developed the skills and confidence to become truly effective. But opening doors was only the first part, I then had to learn how to speak to senior level executives and present in big intimidating boardrooms. The first few times I can tell you felt like

I was a beginner who found himself on a double black diamond ski run loaded with moguls. I was coming unglued and definitely wasting motions, wasting time, and losing more than I was winning. Each prospect was different and when I found myself having to present to smaller groups or someone in a less intimidating role, I found myself gaining confidence. The more I failed in those larger meetings, the more I learned. The more I practiced with smaller customers the better I became at selling to larger clients and in complex selling situations. There is an old saying that goes something like, “The fruit we enjoy at the mountain top was grown in the valley.” And it is so true in all areas of our lives. So whether it is getting into the moguls or bumps on the mountain or just stretching yourself a little more, remember that our growth does happen in the valley. I would love to hear all about your times in the valley and on the mountaintop. Together let’s make it a better than good week.

ActiveRx Helps the Elderly Gain Confidence By Manny Gonzales mgonzales@bestchamber.com

When Julee McElhaney began having dizzy spells and falling, her family took cusnotice. At 86 years old, Julee’s lack of ng to balance was having a creeping, scary itua- effect on her ability to get around and her family looked for remedies to the ome- situation. ounThey took her to the new ActiveRx in d it is Englewood where physical therapists her it worked with McElhaney on helping n the her learn to walk better and helped her little gain strength where her body had let hap- muscles decondition. “I’m absolutely back to where I imes should be at my age,” McElhaney said . To- recently as she and 120 business leaders week. from the South Metro Denver Chamber celebrated a Business After Hours event ands at ActiveRx. “I can walk around by myself and not worry so much anymore.” g ZiActiveRx, located at 300 E. Hampden er of Ave., Suite 100, in Englewood is helping at go- elder adults hold onto their youth by providing physical therapy combined with strength training. The company specializes in working with elder adults, 65 years and older, who are feeling and getting around slower than their age should suggest. “Our philosophy is you can gain strength at any age,” owner Kiva Patton said. “We really look to change our clients’ lives. Some clients who have had fall risks and are afraid to leave their house,” he said. “We love to help get them back on track so that they’re able to leave their house and be able to walk their dogs.” Often, the decline of an elder adult’s health can be so gradual that it’s hard to recognize something is wrong or that the potential for hazard exists, Patton said.

Chamber President & CEO John Brackney shares a light moment with ActiveRx owners Dana & Kiva Patton during the Business After Hours event.

“We offer free screenings and free fall prevention, so for anyone who has an elder adult in their family who they’re worried about bring them in and we’ll give a free assessment of where they stand,” Patton said. Joan Tucker, one of the physical therapists who treated Julee, said that even at the age of 98 a person should be able to stand up seven times in 30 seconds without having to use his or her hands. When Julee came to them, she had already suffered a fractured arm from a fall and would get winded on short walks. “The second she’d turn her head one way or the other, she’d lose her balance and fall down” Tucker said. “Often times, people don’t identify there’s a problem till there’s been a major fall or a stroke or a hip fracture.” McElhaney said she was grateful that her family recognized she needed help and acted fast. “I love coming here to keep my body doing what I want it to do - and its always fun!” Congressman Mike Coffman was one

Two more Douglas County schools have gained International Baccalaureate World School status. Ranch View Middle School and ThunderRidge High School in Highlands Ranch got word in late January that their application for inclusion in IB’s Middle Years Programme was approved. The program applies to students ages 11 to 16, and dovetails with ThunderRidge’s IB Diploma Programme. Diploma, the highest level of IB, is designed for students 16 to 19 and became part of the high school’s curriculum in 2008. Admission into the elite group of IB-designated schools requires an arduous, three-year process. IB is a three-tier, internationally accepted program that teaches students to take a broad, multi-cultural view of the world. “It’s teaching a rigorous academic curriculum through a global lens,” Ranch View Principal James McMurphy said. “It’s to make sure they’re the most prepared we can make them to be future citizens in a truly global marketplace. “Our seventhand eighth-graders are not going to be competing for jobs with Detroit or San Francisco or Dallas. They’re going to be competing with Beijing, Cairo and Manila.” Castle Rock’s Mesa Middle School and Douglas County High School earned the authorization in the summer of 2012. Though Mesa and Ranch View middle schools started

the IB approval process at the same time, RanchView wanted to customize the program in two areas, which required further review and the resulting delay. RanchView’s requests included a shift away from the IB requirement of a class focused specifically on technology. “To be honest, what we’re after is integrated technology in our classes,” McMurphy said. “We put together a proposal where we wouldn’t have a technology class per se, but all those skills are embedded in our core classes.” Ranch View then had to wait to get IB’s stamp of approval. Ranch View also gained approval on changes to the IB foreign language requirements, allowing students to take a semester of introductory foreign language instead of a full year. “It took a lot of work and a lot of planning to get there,” McMurphy said. “I’m really glad IB took the time. It would have been really easy for them to say, `This doesn’t fit our mold.’ But they gave us our due. If we had to change everything about who we are, I wasn’t sure that was going to be worth it.” Ranch View students now get a program tailormade for them, he believes. The IB program “is going to look a little different here than it does at Mesa and schools up in Aurora and Denver, but wherever you are you can walk away with a guarantee and an expectation of excellence,” McMurphy said. ThunderRidge Assistant Principal David Shadwell echoed that sentiment. “The IB piece definitely is a feather in one’s cap,” he said. “We’re incredibly excited to have the authorization and continue working with RanchView.”

For teachers, IB encourages backward design — starting with the desired educational outcome and planning back from that point. That, too, is part of DCSD’s education model. ThunderRidge High School, and its feeder middle school Ranch

View, recently were authorized to teach IB’s Middle Years Programme (MYP). IB’s goals align with the Common Core Standards adopted by Colorado and 44 other states. The more rigorous academic standards, announced in 2009, are designed to position students for competition in a global economy. DCSD officials say their program aims to exceed those education reform efforts.

Museum volunteers will clean and prepare fossils from various Colorado dig sites. The “Mammoths and Mastodons: Titans of the Ice Age” exhibit runs Feb. 15 through May 27 at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. The exhibit, originating at the Field Museum, will include life-sized models of Ice Age animals, as well as fossil tusks and skulls. Visitors will learn to distinguish between mammoths — weighing up to eight tons, with tusks up to 16 feet long — and mastodons, their shorter, stockier cousins.

tors understand the science behind Lyuba and how it aids in our understanding of modern-day elephant relatives, which are now struggling for survival. Lyuba’s eyelashes, ears and internal organs were found. Man entered the picture and was another predator of these beasts. Spear points, cave painting and other prehistoric art illustrate the interaction between humans and mammoths and mastodons. Interactive exhibits include: balancing the weight of a tusk or trunk; a look into a cave in Southwest France to see reproductions of prehistoric cave paintings and learn about them through interactive games; an “Elephant Vocal Communication” interactive and an “Excavation Station” touch cart. In October 2010, a bulldozer operator

working near Snowmass uncovered bones of a young female mammoth. During the next 10 months, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science conducted the largest excavation in its 112-year history, finding more than 6,000 bones of 41 kinds of animals. Included: mammoths, mastodons, ground sloths, tiny rodents, camels, deer, horses, giant bison and even tiger salamanders. The high-alpine ecosystem had protected the specimens found in this most significant scientific discovery. A 40-member team from the museum, the U.S. Geological Survey and academic institutions from North America and Europe is studying samples of bones, plants, insects , sediment and biomolecules. The study will continue until collective results are ready for publication. Lead scientists Kirk Johnson and Ian Miller have published “Digging Snowmastodon,” which is available today. A “Nova” television special, “Ice Age Death Trap” was shown on PBS. Related programs and lectures, found on the museum’s website, include an IMAX film: “Titans of the Ice Age 3 D IMAX” ongoing at $10, $8.

Flutist set to play in Lone Tree By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcolorado news.com Jennifer Bouton will return to Colorado to perform as guest artist with the Denver Concert Band, conducted by Jacinda Bouton, in a Feb. 16 concert at the Lone Tree Arts Center. She will play “A Lindesfarne Rhapsody for Flute” by British composer Philipe Sparke. It’s a new work in her repertory and one Jacinda Bouton asked her to perform. It’s well written, one continuous work and written for an ensemble, which is helpful because sometimes there’s a balance problem, she says. It should be satisfying for the band members also. The piece begins with a cadenza for the flute and she enjoys performing it. (Lindesfarne is an island off the northeast coast of England which was a pilgrimage destination, a romantic spot. Sparke

Without their dedicated service and passion, we would not be No. 1.” Rounding out the Top 5 are The RitzCarlton Denver, JW Marriott Denver, Cherry Creek, The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa, and The Oxford Hotel. There’s more. The Best Hotels in Colorado are also ranked on the U.S. News’ list with Aspen’s The Little Nell snagging the No. 1 spot.

Mayor Hancock busts a move

Last week, Mayor Michael B. Hancock fulfilled the final element of a friendly wager made with Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake before the Divisional Playoff game between the Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens on Jan. 13 (and we all know how that ended up ... sniffle). Under the terms of the wager, Mayor Hancock sent a box of dry aged “cowboy cut” ribeye steaks from Lombardi Brothers Meats to Rawlings-Blake. The mayor had additionally agreed to perform the famous Ray Lewis pregame dance but was sidelined by an injury. Until now. To view the video of that performance, go to www.youtube.com/ watch?v=4KVczvxpUvU.

Eatin’ of the green results

Jennifer Bouton, Milwaukee Symphony flutist, will be guest soloist with the Denver Concert Band. Courtesy photo lections from South Pacific,” “Black is the Color of My True Love’s Hair” by Mark Camphouse and “Paris Sketches” by Martin Ellerby. The Denver Concert Band, a Colorado organization in its 52nd year, has about 90 members and has moved to Lone Tree as its base of operations.

Steven Ballas, Jr., owner of Steve’s Snappin Dogs and host of the recent green chili contest, declared the event a “great success”. “Between my 10 percent of the daily sales and the cash donations that I hawked with the $1 Steve’s Snappin Ale, $1 tortillas to eat with the green chili and the personal donations, I am proud to tell you all that the first Chow Down for Charity of 2013 raised $610 for Project Angel Heart,” Ballas said. “What a great day for us all!” The fire-breathing event was judged live on the air during the weekly Gabby Gourmet radio show (1 to 3 p.m. Saturdays) on KHOW 630-AM. Judges were Jon Emanuel, executive chef of Project Angel Heart; Westword foodie Lori Midson; Denver’s 7 meteorologist Lisa Hildago; Mile High Sports Radio personality Mark McIntosh; Joan Brewster of the American Culinary Foundation; Artie Guerrero, president and national director of paralyzed veterans of America, Mountain States Chapter; and moi. Judges’ choices (out of nearly 20 entries) were Marcyzk Fine Foods (No. 1), Santiago’s (No. 2) and ElLucerito (No. 3). People’s choice winner was Gridiron Grille Parker continues on Page 19

strengths and I love the creativity that marketing a home offers me. I love figuring out how to market the home so that it will appeal to the broadest set of Buyers.

Broker Associate The Encore Home Team rkenny@thedenver-100.com www.beckykenny.com Where were you born? My father was in the Army and stationed in Fort Riley, Kansas where I was born. My family moved to Colorado when I was a child.

What is the most challenging part of what you do? There are so many individuals involved in achieving a successful closing. Making sure that everyone meets his or her obligations is critical to this success. Attention to detail is just one of my strengths that enables success for my clients.

How long have you lived in the area? 12 years What do you like most about it? I love the small town feel that Castle Rock offers and how the community cares about one another. I feel so connected to the people whose path I cross daily. How long have you worked in Real Estate? 9 years

What do you most enjoy doing when you are not working? Golfing, travelling and cooking with friends.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Having your home professionally staged (which is one of my services) and making it shine like a penny will help a home rise to the top of Buyers choices. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Asking great questions and then listening carefully to my Buyers enables me to understand what is important to them. Price is always paramount, but understanding location, style of home, schools, amenities, features and what gets my Buyers excited always allows me to “hit a home run” for my Buyers. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? That’s a tough question because as you can imagine we have the opportunity to encounter so many unusual situations. I have learned that you always have to maintain your professionalism, be the calmest person in the room and remember to breathe and laugh.

What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with? I work with all ranges of both Buyers and Sellers. I am passionate about serving my clients and helping them

Factors that might hurt a home’s value N owadays, homeowners looking to sell their homes know it’s not as easy to do so as it might have been a few years ago. A struggling economy has made it difficult for many homeowners to sell their homes for a price they’re comfortable with. But the sagging economy is not the only thing can make it difficult to sell a home. In fact, a host of other things, some obvious but some not so obvious, can hurt a home’s value as well. Location: A home’s location is arguably its best or worst selling point. A home in a great location won’t be as difficult to sell as a home in a bad neighborhood. But location goes beyond a neighborhood’s reputation, especially in recent years. Homeowners who live in a neighborhood or development with many foreclosures might find those foreclosed properties are hurting their own home’s value. Lots of foreclosures could negatively affect

a neighborhood’s reputation, which might make a home within that neighborhood less attractive to prospective buyers. Appearance: A home’s appearance is another obvious variable that might affect its resale value. Homeowners might want their home to reflect their own individuality, but that’s not going to help when the time comes to sell the home. If the exterior paint is out of the ordinary, then it might be wise to choose a more traditional or conservative color before erecting the “For Sale” sign out front. The same goes for a home’s interior. If the interior design is especially unique, a more traditional interior decor might help the home sell faster. Size and style: Another thing to consider when selling a home is its size and style. A home that stands out on the block might be an attention-grabber, but that’s not always attractive to prospective buyers. For instance, a colonial sitting in the middle

of a street filled with contemporary homes will stand out, but likely for all the wrong reasons. It will likely appear dated and out of place, which is something buyers might not want. In addition, if the home is considerably larger or smaller than the surrounding homes, then this could hurt its value. Non-conformity: In many ways, conformity is not considered an admirable trait. But when selling a home, conformity could make the difference between a home selling quickly or remaining on the market for months if not years. When shopping for a home, buyers often shop in certain neighborhoods and towns and might see many different homes within a given ZIP code. Homeowners with homes that don’t conform to others in the area might find it difficult to sell their homes. For instance, homeowners trying to sell a two bedroom home in a neighborhood filled with three bedroom homes might

notice their home’s value is not as high as that of surrounding homes, regardless of the neighborhood or how similar the home’s exterior is to surrounding homes. Age: Older homes might have character and a sense

Douglas County School Board Vice President Dan Gerken resigned the week of Jan. 7, and already has stepped down from his seat. He cited growing family and work obligations. Board President John Carson said the group will begin the process of finding his replacement during the Jan. 15 board meeting. Gerken was elected to the board in 2009, and his term was set to expire in November. He did not return calls for comment, Gerken but Carson said there is no mystery surrounding his resignation from the education reform-focused board. â€œWe depend on people being willing to take a lot of time out of their lives and work and families to do this,â€? he said, noting board members invest at least 20 hours a month to the unpaid post. â€œDan has served selflessly in that capacity for over three years now. I greatly appreciate what heâ€™s done for our school district.â€? Carson said Gerken first approached him about resigning shortly after the new year. â€œI tried to talk him out of (resigning), but he made his decision,â€? he said. Though the board has often been criticized for its fast-paced reform efforts, Carson said he doesnâ€™t believe that was a factor in Gerkenâ€™s resignation. â€œIf you run for office, you have to be prepared for that,â€? he said. â€œSpeaking for myself, the reason I got involved in public education was to make some changes in public education that I think have been needed for a long time. I know Dan felt that way as well.â€? In seven years on the board, Carson said this is the fourth vacancy filled by appointment. â€œItâ€™s not an infrequent occurrence,â€? he said. The board has 60 days to fill the empty seat. Any candidate must live in Gerkenâ€™s district â€” District D â€” which extends from Castle Pines to the southeast corner of the county. Potential school board candidates must be at least 18 years of age, a 12-month resident and registered voter of the district, and have no direct or indirect interest in district contracts. All current school board members are registered Republicans, but the office is officially nonpartisan. â€œWeâ€™re just looking for people that are interested in improving public education, continuing to make our school district the best, and keep making it stronger,â€? Carson said. Gerken, a father of two, lives in Castle Pines with his wife, Gina. He is chairman and co-founder of Gerken Taxman Interests, a commercial real estate investment and development company.

Feeling safe in Centennial

For the eighth year in a row, Centennial was ranked as the safest city in Colorado with a population of more than 75,000, according to CQ Press’ annual publication: City Crime Rankings for 2012 to 2013: Crime in Metropolitan America. Centennial ranks 41st out of 432 cities. “This eight-year accomplishment as the safest city in Colorado is truly remarkable,” said Mayor Cathy Noon. “It reflects the dedication of the Arapahoe County

Sheriff’s Office to keep the city safe year after year. This is a great accomplishment and privilege for all who live, work and play in Centennial.” Other Colorado cities and their rankings include Arvada (59), Longmont (73), Fort Collins (116), Boulder (120), Westminster (147), Greeley (173), Thornton (175), Aurora (235), Lakewood (259), Colorado Springs (278), Denver (328) and Pueblo (354). The crime rate rankings of the cities and metropolitan areas are calculated using six crime categories: murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary and motor vehicle theft. The rankings include all cities of at least 75,000 residents that reported crime data to the FBI in these categories. City Crime Rankings is one of five annual reference books published by CQ Press that analyze and rank states and cities in various categories. Penny Parker’s “Mile High Life” column gives insights into the best events, restaurants, businesses, parties and people throughout the metro area. Parker also writes for Blacktie-Colorado.com. She can be reached at penny@blacktie-llc.com or at 303-619-5209.

‘Wake’: a corruption of ‘The Tempest’ N 20

20 The News-Press

What would Shakespeare think? By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “On this isle, I would govern with such perfection…” Buntport Theater’s creative crew has a wonderful way of staging literary classics through their own imaginative lenses, writing original material and figuring out astonishing staging. A friend who joined us for an evening with “Wake” suggested that this shows “how the play might have been written if Shakespeare were six 30-something students from Colorado College. Are they trying to show contradictions with the Shakespeare play?” They offered the usual smart design, some of the most interesting music and technical details ever (take a hard look at that piano) and the expected clear delivery of the Bard’s lines, selected from the original. Erik Edborg, Erin Rollman, Brian Colonna, SamAnTha Schmitz and Hannah

Castle Rock

Duggan collaborated with the multitalented Adam Stone, who was playing stormy music on the piano when the audience arrived. He is responsible for a mass of radios, speakers, tape players and what-have-you, which kept a fairly steady level of interesting — and not really distracting — background sound going. As the magical sprite Ariel, he managed to have tape exude from his hands, with Prospero talking, for instance —which would fade off and slow down as tapes were inclined to do. Ariel flits about pushing buttons and creating sounds across the stage as he tries to help Miranda (Erin Rollman) deal with boredom on the island where she is stranded — and to protect her. Miranda has been on this island since she was a little girl, after she and her father were banished from the kingdom of Milan by his brother. We see her as a child and later, as a young woman hoping for a lover to appear, but passage of time seems vague — perhaps deliberately? Her father, Prospero, the king with magical powers, to whom Ariel is a slave, is played by Erik Edborg. He tapes his speech as he strides around — mostly lines from the original, that tell the story.

Prospero and Miranda spend a good bit of time staring out to sea, awaiting the assorted folks who actually do appear after the tempest in Shakespeare’s script — but they never appear in this version, Prospero disappears and Miranda is left with Ariel and the slave Caliban (Brian Colonna,) who was on the island when they arrived. Unhappy Caliban who is tethered by a huge rope around his neck, gathers rocks and makes constellations (stars light up overhead also), and spouts lots of the language from the play — again clearly and with feeling, but the probably deliberate disconnect with bits of broken story made it difficult for this viewer — and Shakespeare lover — to connect the dots much of the time. (Miranda and Caliban do connect in this variation.) Perhaps that’s the point, but it’s unsettling.

to be top six in the league. This is such a great thing...

sports@ourcoloradonews.com Megan Grier and Makenna Wilson couldn’t stay away from the Chaparral girls swimming team for their senior season, and their return is paying big dividends. Each one captured a gold medal and a topthree finish as the Wolverines won their first Continental League team championship Saturday at Heritage. It didn’t matter to Chaparral that an asterisk might be attached, as perennial state power Regis Jesuit didn’t bring its entire squad -including multi-Olympic gold medalist Missy Franklin, who is scheduled to compete in this weekend’s Class 5A state meet in Fort Collins and most of those who were there didn’t compete in their primary events. Chaparral capped its climb to the top by winning the day’s final three events: Wilson the 100-yard backstroke (57.90), Grier the 100 breaststroke (1:08.50) and the 400 freestyle relay (Grier and Wilson as members along with Hannah Paris and Annie Graves) with a league- and pool-record 3:35.44. Six other Wolverines had top-six finishes as Chaparral edged Regis (no individual champions but winner of two relays) 493-467. Rock Canyon was third with 465 points. “I’m so excited and I think we completely deserve it,’’ said Wilson, who also was second in the 100 freestyle. “The girls worked so hard. It’s an honor to be on the team with them.’’ Wilson and Grier took last season off to swim with the DU Hilltoppers club team, and were rewarded them with Division I scholarships: Wilson to LSU and Grier to West Point. Wilson made the 2010 state finals in the backstroke and 200 individual medley; Grier was ineligible as a sophomore under state transfer rules after switching from Regis and will be making her first state-meet appearance. Wilson will compete in the backstroke and either the 100 or IM at state, while Grier will go

Chaparral coach Brooke Westfall in the 50 and 100 freestyles. “I definitely missed the team aspect; it’s been so much fun,’’ said Grier, who also took third in the 50 freestyle. “It’s the first-ever banner we’ll have for swimming.’’ The first league is “a big deal,’’ said Chaparral coach Brooke Westall. “We have no pool (the team trains evenings at Grandview’s pool), and several years ago we were lucky to be top six in the league. This is such a great thing. “These girls worked their butts off. It’s been just kind of a magical year for them.’’ The Wolverines trailed by some 50 points halfway through the finals before Wilson and Grier led the charge down the stretch. “I knew we had a good chance, but we had to have a much stronger back half,’’ Westall said. Chaparral has qualified 10 girls for state, six more than last year’s previous high, and it’s a blend of experience (three seniors, including Graves, who was 11th in the backstroke at state) and youth (a freshman class that included three finalists at the league meet, and two sophomores who combined for three top-six places). Legend and Castle View had their moments as well. The Titans finished fifth behind Heritage (324-287), but produced a pair of champions, Allison Arnold in the 500 freestyle and diver Cat Badillo, both defending their titles. Arnold, a junior who was second in the 500

at last year’s state meet, won by more than 10 seconds with a time of 5:12.73. She also took second in the IM but is expected to double with the butterfly at state (she was ninth in the 200 freestyle last year). Arnold’s odds of winning the 500 are vastly improved now that Cherry Creek’s Bonnie Brandon - last year’s other dominant swimmer -- has moved on. Brandon beat Arnold by just under 15 seconds last year. “I probably won’t beat her state record (4:43.52), but it would be nice to get first,’’ Arnold said. “But there are a lot of good 500ers out there.’’ Badillo, who finished second to two-time state champion Michal Bower of Loveland at state last year, edged Mountain Vista’s Ashley Peterson by .9 point in the league final at Littleton. It was the first 11-dive competition and just the third meet of the season for Badillo. She took off four months from training and diving for therapy on a sore hip and lower back that she said had been bothering her for a year, returning about a month ago. “I haven`t been able to do full practices, so I’m very happy with my score,’’ Badillo said. “I’m happy I finished all of my dives. My expectations for state are to do my dives to the best of my ability.’’ Castle View finished eighth and got two second-place finishes by senior Morgan Stepp in the 200 freestyle and breaststroke. She was 12th in the butterfly at state in 2012.

Boys hoops: Grizzlies gear up for home stretch Showdown between ThunderRidge, Mountain Vista looming By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Joe Marucci is a senior guard for the ThunderRidge boys basketball team. However, he sounded an awful lot like a coach when discussing what’s on tap for the fourth-ranked Grizzlies. “We’ve got a stretch of four games coming up that are bears,” said Marucci. “We’re just looking one game at a time.” ThunderRidge (13-4) was tied with second-ranked Mountain Vista with 5-0 records atop of the Continental League standings prior to Tuesday night’s games. The Grizzlies took a six game winning streak into the opening game of their tough stretch Tuesday night with a game at Heritage against the suddenly formidable Eagles. On Friday night the biggest game so far this season in the Continental campaign will take place when ThunderRidge visits unbeaten and second-ranked Mountain Vista. The following week Chaparral and Regis Jesuit play in the Grizzly Den at ThunderRidge. Mountain Vista (16-0) played at Ponderosa Tuesday night. Ponderosa, Highlands Ranch, Legend and Heritage were tied, two games behind the leaders, with 3-2 league records prior to Tuesday night’s games. The following is a wrap up on last week’s action.

THUNDERRIDGE - Peter Howell scored 18 points and Zack Rusk added 17 in the Grizzlies’ 77-53 win over Littleton. Marucci’s 19 points and a strong defensive effort helped ThunderRidge (13-4) secure a 59-47 win over Highlands Ranch. MOUNTAIN VISTA - Elijah Valdez sparked a quick start with four 3-pointers in the first quarter and finished with 24 points as the visiting Golden Eagles saddled fifth ranked Regis Jesuit with a 77-73 loss. It was the Raiders first league loss after 19 consecutive victories. Regis had not lost at home since Jan. 22, 2008. Valdez had 28 points for hot-shooting Mountain Vista in a 91-64 rout of Douglas County. The Golden Eagles shot 59 percent from the field. HIGHLANDS RANCH - Evan Motlong had 20 points, five steals, four rebounds and three assists in the Falcons’ 87-49 romp over Castle View. Highlands Ranch (11-5) shot 34 percent from the field and never got untracked offensively in the loss at ThunderRidge. Isaiah Parros scored 15 points in the setback. CHAPARRAL - The Wolverines lost to Heritage, 67-61, but came back with a big second half against Ponderosa to collect a 66-48 win. Jake Holtzmann scored 16 points against Heritage and the 6-foot-5 sophomore tossed in 20 points in the game against Ponderosa that saw the Wolverines (8-9) outscore the Mustangs 45-27 in the second half. LEGEND - Taylor Jenson had 16 points in a 59-39 win over Rock Canyon but the Titans (12-4) came up short after trailing by only two points heading into the fourth quarter in a 72-61 loss to Regis. Jenson and Jonathon Cosmann each contributed 11 points against the Raiders.

ROCK CANYON - Mitch Lombard had 15 points in the Jaguars’ loss to Legend. Rock Canyon (6-11) lost 60-56 to Littleton. CASTLE VIEW - Zach Mattice scored 16 points but the Sabercats had only 31 field goal attempts in the setback to Highlands Ranch. Castle View made 19 field goals. Castle View (5-12) dropped its sixth consecutive game in a 66-63 loss to Heritage. HERITAGE - The Eagles (8-9) showed the ability to win close games in Continental League truimphs over Chaparral and Castle View. Eli Ziegler scored 22 points against Chaparral and tossed in 18 points against the Sabercats. PONDEROSA - The Mustangs (10-7) edged Douglas County, 58-52, before losing to Chaparral. DOUGLAS COUNTY - Calvin Cooke, the Huskies second-leading scorer, had the flu but tried to play against Ponderosa scoring only one point. He didn’t play in the loss to Mountain Vista. Taylour Cavanaugh tallied 15 points and Ryley Stewart had 12 in the six-point setback to Ponderosa. Stewart tied for gamescoring honors with 28 points for Douglas County (5-12) against Mountain Vista. LITTLETON - The Lions (7-10) lost to ThunderRidge but held off Rock Canyon to get their first league win. ARAPAHOE - The then seventh-ranked Warriors suffered two Centennial League setbacks. Matt Glasscock scored 15 points in a 4938 loss to Cherokee Trail. The Warriors were 2-for-15 from 3-point range and missed a trio of 3-pointers in the final minute as visiting Cherry Creek escaped with a 46-43 victory.

LUTHERAN - James Willis was 9-of9 from the field, including 5-of-5 from 3-point range in the Lions’ 68-51 Metropolitan League win over Peak To Peak. Lutheran lost a close 45-43 league decision at Faith Christian. VALOR CHRISTIAN - The Eagles, last week’s third ranked Class 4A team, grabbed a 20-13 lead but unbeaten No. 4 San Creek pulled away for a 76-61 win. Chase Foster scored 17 points and Garrett Baggett had 14 points for Valor (15-4).

Girls hoops: Grizzlies continue to battle injuries ThunderRidge remains in play for league title By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com ThunderRidge girls coach Bill Bradley can’t win for losing. After compiling a 4-7 non-league record, the injury-plagued Grizzlies reeled off four straight victories in the Continental League before No. 2 Highlands Ranch clobbered ThunderRidge, 74-36, in a league game last Saturday night in the Falcons’ gym. Senior Taylor Williams, whose has signed to play at Long Beach State, is getting her timing and confidence back after missing 13 games with a knee injury. Senior center Megan Yoney broke her hand prior to the Christmas break and sophomore guard Jessica Zweifel is sidelined with a separated shoulder. “Every time we turn around we get somebody hurt,” said Bradley. “We get Taylor back but we haven’t had Megan since Christmas with a broken hand and then Jess who had been starting but we haven’t had her the last two games because of a separated shoulder. She’ll be out five or six weeks. “We’re having trouble getting consistency with all our injuries.” Still, ThunderRidge (8-8) is only a game behind the Continental League leaders. Top-ranked Regis Jesuit (16-1), No. 2 Highlands Ranch (14-3) and No. 4 Rock Canyon (15-2) were tied with 5-0 league marks going into this week’s action. However, the standings will look different by the end of this week. Highlands Ranch played at Regis Wednesday and hosts Rock Canyon Saturday night.

The Jaguars entertained Chaparral Tuesday. After last week’s games, Mountain Vista and Chaparral were tied for fifth place with 3-2 league records. The following is a capsule glance at last week’s action. THUNDERRIDGE - The Grizzlies jumped ahead 37-10 at halftime and cruised to a 61-26 victory over Littleton as Williams had 14 points and seven rebounds. ThunderRidge shot 21.5 percent from the floor in the loss to Highlands Ranch. Brianna Troop scored 18 points to provide half of the Grizzlies scoring in the game. HIGHLANDS RANCH - Shelby Hickey scored 21 points and Madison Montgomery added 13 in a 79-35 rout of Castle View. The Falcons hit 54 percent of their field goal attempts in the 38-point romp over ThunderRidge as Montgomery led the way with 20 points. ROCK CANYON - The Jaguars frolicked to a combined victory margin of 49 points in easy 51-24 and 50-28 conquests of Legend and Littleton. Morgan Roos, in her second game back after suffering concussion symptoms, scored 15 points against the Titans and Lexy Thorderson led the team with 13 points in the win over Littleton which marked the Jaguars 10th consecutive win. LEGEND - Joey Sale had two double doubles last week. She had 12 points and 14 rebounds in the loss to Rock Canyon and 13 points and 12 rebounds in the 75-35 setback to Regis. CASTLE VIEW - The Sabercats (9-8) beat Heritage, 60-40, after getting steamrolled by Highlands Ranch. CHAPARRAL - The Wolverines (12-4) improved to 3-2 in the Continental League with a 60-40 win over Heritage and a 79-32

conquest of Ponderosa. Katrina Bacovcin led four girls in double figures with 14 points in the victory over Heritage while Dayton DeMarais tossed in 22 points and Katie Longwell 18 against Ponderosa. MOUNTAIN VISTA - The Golden Eagles socked by Regis, 67-49, but led 42-9 at halftime in an 84-20 romp over Douglas County. Chelsea Pearson had 17 points and Jordan Graff 15 and Mountain Vista (13-4) shot 53 percent in the win over the Huskies. DOUGLAS COUNTY - Jordan Pelley, with 18 points, and Rachael Terbush, with 17, paced the Huskies’ 53-48 win over Ponderosa but Douglas County couldn’t overcome the huge first half deficit in the loss to Mountain Vista. Marianna Haneke led the Huskies with nine points against the Golden Eagles. PONDEROSA - Kari Keough scored 16 points in the Mustangs loss to Douglas County but never recovered from a 45-12 halftime deficit in the setback to Chaparral. Taylor Saunders scored nine points against Chaparral and Keough topped the Lady Mustangs with 22 points in a 61-40 non-league loss to Green Mountain that extended Ponderosa’s losing streak to seven games. LITTLETON - The Lions lost by 35 points to ThunderRidge and by 22 to Rock Canyon. Four players tied for scoring honors with four points against the Grizzlies while Stacey Zuppa scored 10 points to lead Littleton (7-10) against Rock Canyon. HERITAGE - The Eagles (2-15) saw their losing skid reach 11 games with losses to Chaparral and Castle View. LUTHERAN - Unbeaten Lutheran posted two more Metro League wins, beating Peak To Peak, 59-28, and downing Faith

Jennifer Vigil and Jessica Farra each scored 12 points in the win over Peak To Peak and the two players combined for 27 points against Faith Christian as the Lions won for the 13 straight time this season.

Alex Buechler scored 10 points and Arapahoe ran off 22 unanswered points to start the third period in a 53-16 win over Cherokee Trail. The Warriors were 3-for-8 at the free throw line and suffered a 46-44 loss to Cherry Creek. Stacie Lukasiewiz scored 18 points to lead Arapahoe. VALOR CHRISTIAN - The Eagles (9-11) build on a 16-point halftime lead in a 65-35 win over Wheat Ridge. Kendall Bradbury scored 19 points and Caroline Bryan 13 in the victory.

Torry Williams, a junior, is the No. 2 wrestler in the On The Mat 145-pound state rankings, while Corry Williams, a senior, is rated No. 1 at 182 pounds. “We’ve had Torry for three years and this is the first month that he is actually starting to wrestle a full match,” Ponderosa coach Corey McNellis said. “That’s really exciting. If he wrestles a full six minutes, he’s unstoppable. “Corry Williams started the year playing basketball. For the first month he played basketball, he finally came to his senses and came back to wrestling.” ICING - Heritage won, Mountain Vista notched two victories and Valor Christian split two games in last week’s Peak Conference hockey games. Connor Crory had a hat trick in Heritage’s 6-2 win over Palmer. Five different players scored in Mountain Vista’s 5-1 triumph over Bishop Machebeuf and Tanner Gillis scored a power play goal at the 4:52 mark over of overtime in the Golden Eagles’ 3-2 win over Lewis Palmer.

Gabel is back and better than ever Ponderosa junior leads Mustangs into showdown with Chaparral By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com

Dylan Gabel had his doubts a little over a year ago whether he would be wrestling this season. Gabel, a 170-pound junior at Ponderosa, is 27-4 this year heading into tonight’s Continental League championship match against Chaparral in o the Mustangs’ gym. d While playing football as a sophomore, Gabel had some back pain but kept playing. He wound up undergoing major back surgery and he missed the entire 2011-12 wrestling each campaign. k To “I don’t know how it happened,” or 27 said Gabel. “I can’t remember a hit or Lions anything. I had a broken back, that’s ason. the easiest to understand. I had mat the jor back surgery. They went in and put two screws, two rods and two two hooks in my back and a bone graph from my hip to remake my bone. and “There were times when I was rets to covering from surgery when I didn’t over know if I would be able to do anything again because of the extent of free the surgery and the pain that had Cher- taken place.” oints Gabel returned to the Mustangs football team for post-season action. 9-11) “That was a big confidence boost65-35 er to play football,” said Gabel. “By bury doing my rehab and keeping my core 13 in strong, when I come out to wrestle it will be good. I know it’s God’s plan and I’ve just got to trust him. “I feel confident with my back and feel 100 percent right now. I don’t think about it at all when I’m wrestling. I still rehab. After a full weekend with a ton of matches it will be sore but that’s to be expected. I’ll have that the rest of my life. I’m definitely a 100 percent and as good as I’ll ever be. I know the doctors and my physical therapist have done everything for me to be 100 percent.” Gabel is now able to resume the wrestling heritage of his family that included his grandfather Vern, his father Gary and older brother Austin

who graduated from Ponderosa two years ago. “It started with my grandpa,” explained Gable. “He wrestled in the Marines. Then my Dad wrestled at UNC (Northern Colorado) and he was a coach at Platte Valley High School and won two state championships there. My brother was a threetime state champion and he’s in the lineup and wrestling at Virginia Tech now.” Gary Gabel is currently the principal at Palmer Ridge High School. In tonight’s championship dual meet against Chaparral, the Mustangs will be seeking their 19th consecutive league championship. Ponderosa, No. 3 among Class 5A teams in the latest On the Mat rankings, has not lost a league dual meet since 1994. “This season has gone pretty well,” said Gabel. “After missing my sophomore year, it’s really coming together for me. Injuries (elbow) have been a little bit of an issue but I’m feeling good and I make sure my rehab is okay with my back. “Everyone knows the rivalry between us and Chaparral. The atmosphere will be very alive and I’m looking forward to that and we’re looking forward to continuing the streak.” Ponderosa coach Corey McNellis is looking for his team to show consistency. “This year has been really up and down,” said McNellis. “When we look good, we look really good. When we look bad, we look really bad. “So our goal is to try to be consistent. We’ve improved a lot the last couple weeks and I’m confident that we will peak when the time is right.” Chaparral coach Rod Padilla figures tonight’s match will be special. “It will be an exciting match, because of the intensity that it creates,” said Padilla. “I would venture to say that most wrestlers are not as lucky to compete in a packed house wrestling dual. “The wrestlers may not even realize how awesome it is until they are out on their own and have (sons) wrestlers of their own. It is a special event.”

Arapahoe is sixth in the poll. Lutheran is still No. 2 in the Class AA girls poll but is closing the gap in the voting on top-ranked Akron. Both teams are unbeaten.

Six pack of pins powers Ponderosa to big mat win Houser, Hunsaker get pins for Castle View By Jim Benton

wrestle.” Ponderosa, which hasn’t lost a league dual meet in the past 18 seasons, used pins by Gabel, Kade Snider (113 pounds), Brett Guerrieri (132), Torry Williams (145), Kelton Good (152) and Chase Wright (220) to help swell the victory margin. Mustang wrestlers notching wins by decision were Carl Schader (120), Brett Erklenz (160), Corry Williams (182) and York Douglas (195). Ponderosa also collected two forfeit wins. The Mustangs will now wrestle the winner of Thursday night’s Douglas County-Chaparral match for the Continental League championship next Thursday at Ponderosa. “Our goal is to be more con-

sistent,” said Ponderosa coach Corey McNellis. “We’ve improved a lot in the last couple weeks and I’m confident that we will peak when the time is right.” Castle View’s only victories during the match came by pins from Rylan Houser (138) and Joe Hunsaker (285). “At least we got a couple wins,” Castle View coach Nick Jasurda said. “We didn’t come out strong. We didn’t battle for a full six minutes. We need to work on better mat management. “It was a great match for Rylan. He’s been doing the little things right. He keeps it tough and basic. Joe has come a long way this season. He’s wrestling smarter.”
