Police dogs get special training World-renowned handler visits Highlands Ranch By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com Jimmy Vanhove has been involved with training attack dogs his entire life. After growing up watching his father ply the trade, the Frenchman has made a life for himself as one of the world’s most renowned trainers of police and military dogs. Vanhove, who moved to the United States just a little over two years ago, is the lead decoy trainer for i-K9 in Alabama and travels the country working with police dogs. One look at his black and blue, scratched-up biceps and you know his is not the normal line of work. “I’ve been bitten lots,” he said. “For the dog, it’s just fun. It’s not like they want to hurt people. But once a dog bites, I want him to stay on the bite. I don’t want 20 bites. I want one bite in one place.” Vanhove wears a bite suit when training the dogs in order to not get bitten too badly, but he doesn’t seem to mind when the dogs get the best of him. His technique, which has won numerous European competitions, involves distracting the dog to the best of his ability, all while teaching the dog to stay on the bite. He spent three days this past

Thor, an Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office K-9 patrol dog, leaps over a tall obstacle to take down trainer Jimmy Vanhove on Feb. 27. The indoor three-day training exercise at Warriors Field House in Highlands Ranch honed the skills of police dogs, their trainers and training decoys. week at Warriors Youth Sports in Highlands Ranch, working with five members of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit, two from the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office unit and one dog from Commerce City. “He is here for two purposes:

One is to teach our people how to decoy properly and two is to problem-solve any problems we have with our dogs, to teach them to bite correctly,” said Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputy Todd Tucker. Tucker, who has been with

the department for 10 years, formerly working in undercover narcotics, just started working in the K-9 Unit in January. His dog, Zoos, is one of five in Douglas County’s unit. Each of the dogs goes through a 15week training process before being allowed in the field. Zoos just started that training. “No one has really taught him what to do yet,” Tucker said. “He knows he is supposed to bite, but he may not be doing it correctly. Jimmy makes sure all the dogs are biting in the right places. You want them to be equal-opportunity biters. A lot of dogs will just bite legs, because that’s what they like, but they need to bite high as well.” The dogs, all shepherds and milanese, can apply between 800 and 1,200 pounds of pressure with one bite. Aside from proper aggression training, they are also taught how to track and sniff out drugs. Each of the Douglas County dogs is selected from Von Liche Kennels in Denver, Ind., where more than 5,000 agencies get their dogs. As members of the K-9 Unit they get to go out on all of the “cool calls,” says Deputy John Glassburner, who has been involved with Douglas County K-9 since 1998, and like the other officers lives with his partner, 5-year-old KOA. “I tell everybody I have a take-home car and a take-home dog,” Glassburner said. “All the dogs we get from Von Liche are very sociable. They have great temperament. My kids, they Dogs continues on Page 9

Councilmembers revived an effort to stop the noise that disrupts downtown Castle Rock. Town council on March 5 got an update on the downtown quiet zone, a year-long goal to stop passing trains from whistling as they pass through downtown. The town considered a quiet zone in 2009, opting for modifications at Fifth Street and medians on both sides of the tracks where they intersect Second and Third streets. The cost of the crossing improvements for the quiet zone exceeded $752,000, prompting councilmembers to table the plan. Councilmembers budgeted for another look at the cost in 2013 in hopes of having a quiet zone in place by 2014. The original bid expired after six months and one of the first steps will be to get an update on the cost, said Bob Watts, transportation planning and engineering manager. The Union Pacific Railroad provides construction estimates and also performs all construction of the quiet zones, Watts said. The use of the train whistle is written into federal law, which was amended in 1996 to allow for quiet zones if the applicant can show the crossing will be equally safe, whether the whistle is sounded or not. The railroad deals with dozens of applications across the country and in recent years installed quiet zones in Monument, Arvada, Winter Park and Commerce City, Zone continues on Page 10

Town opposes gun measures Formal resolution could go to governor By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com Castle Rock councilmembers want to send a message to Colorado’s lawmakers: Steer clear of the Second Amendment. They might have to send their message to Gov. John Hickenlooper instead. Mayor Paul Donahue on March 5 asked Town Attorney Bob Slentz to draft a formal message to state legislators who were preparing to vote on gun-control measures. “I recommend our lawyer create a resolution that town council could get behind in support of the Constitution and in support of our Second Amendment rights,” Donahue said. “I would like to include some of the descriptions in some of the House bills Guns continues on Page 11

Young people get inside look Here’s an understatement for ya: I was a bad kid in school. Seriously. I was such a fixture in the principal’s office that the staff just assumed I came with the furniture. And the closest I ever came to the honor roll was when I stood next to a smart kid in the restroom. Doing productive stuff outside of class wasn’t exactly my thing. But as I got older I developed a great appreciation and respect for kids doing positive — and very cool — things that I didn’t have the stomach for back in the day. That’s exactly what members of Youth Leadership of Jefferson County are up to. The Lakewood-based organization allows youths the ability to interact with community leaders and institutions, in an effort to explore educational and career opportunities. YLJC participants visited the Capitol on March 6, and were recognized on the floor of the House of Representatives by Jefferson County lawmakers. “I just think this is a great way to plant the seeds for people to become our future community leaders,” said Rep. Brittany Pettersen, D-Lakewood. If you wonder whether the students felt intimidated by the legislative process, don’t. In fact, it was the opposite. Marcus Vesely, a student at D’Evelyn High School, said he was surprised at how loose the environment was on the House floor, with chatty lawmakers carrying on while legislative business was being attended to. “I’m not sure what to make of the whole lawmaking thing just yet,” he said. “It was a lot more informal that I thought it would

be.” Rep. Max Tyler, D-Golden, said there’s actually a method to lawmakers’ madness. “A lot of what you see when people are talking like that is how a lot of our work is done,” he said. And Pettersen said the banter and interaction that goes on in the Capitol is “not much different than high school.” Yeah, but with a lot more bullying going on, I’d imagine.

Something in the blare

I can still hear the horns honking. It’s been more than a week since testimony took place inside the Capitol on several gun-control bills. Yet, the horns are still maddeningly going off in my head like I’m a character in an Edgar Allan Poe story. In case you missed it, vehicles made circles around the Capitol on March while testimony was taking place under the Gold Dome, with drivers who opposed the gun bills blaring horns for hours on end. Poor Holly Brooks. She’s the owner of Denver’s Capitol Hill Books, located on the corner of Colfax Avenue and Grant Street, across the street from the Capitol. “It was unbearable,” Brooks said. “The cacophony ...” Brooks said the noise was non-stop,

starting from about 9 a.m., and was “just as fierce” as she was leaving the shop at 6:30 that night. “It completely ruined business,” she said. “We had a tourist come by and say, `Is it always like this?’ We almost closed early.” Colleen Priebe, the manager of Hotel Newhouse, 1470 Grant St., didn’t mind the noise as much as Brooks did. “I just look at it this way,” she said. “It’s democracy in action, regardless of who you agree with. Besides, we’ve been testing the fire alarm system, so there was more noise in here than was out there.” Kevin Park works at Five Star Cleaners at 1364 Grant St. The Korean-born Park spoke through broken English as he tried to put into words his dismay over the noise. “I’m not sure what they want to do,” he said. “If people don’t like the law, they should do it in the building. But to honk in front of the store ... I could not open the door.” Could’ve been worse, I suppose. They could’ve been firing guns.

Quote of the week

“Bring it on, I guess.” — Rep. Carole Murray, R-Castle Rock, when asked about whether her recent vote in favor of moving a civil unions bill out of committee could lead to a primary challenge next year. Murray made headlines on March 1 when she became only the second Republican legislator to vote in favor of civil unions. Sen. Ellen Roberts of Durango was the other. Murray, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, gave an emotional, and often tear-filled, speech after a hearing on the bill.

“It’s not for me to judge others, but to leave that up to God,” she said. “While on Earth, Jesus asked us to love one another. In this spirit, I’ll be a yes vote on this bill.” Murray’s House district is a conservative one, to say the least. And it’s too soon to tell whether her vote will lead to another Republican running against Murray — who has a very conservative voting record. But, as a reporter with no dog in this fight, her emotional statement, which came late in the evening, at the end of a very long hearing, was worth waiting for.

Tweet of the week

“He did last year, and I’m still here.” — Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City. Ulibarri’s tweet was in response to a threat of political retribution made by Rocky Mountain Gun Owners Executive Director Dudley Brown on March 4. Brown was testifying on a gun bill before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which Ulibarri sits on, when he was asked by the Commerce City Democrat whether his group had contributed to any members of the committee. Brown responded by saying, “Yes, senator. And we’re gonna give money to your opponents, too.” It’s not every day that you hear someone threaten a lawmaker in front of his face — especially in the middle of a public hearing. Depending on your view of politics, it either was political theater at its best — or at its worst. Vic Vela covers the Legislature for Colorado Community Media.

Former B&B owner switches to Italian dining Hooper aims for fresh start with Tricocci’s By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com The distance between the B&B Café and Tricocci’s Family Restaurant is less than the length of a city block, but for Angela Hooper, the expanse spans decades. Hooper’s family owned the B&B for decades when a lease dispute led to the end of an era at the Castle Rock landmark. The B&B closed its doors in November, after a month-long legal dispute ended when she left the restaurant name behind her. Hooper went to work at “The B” one summer before heading to Washington, D.C., and the family joke is that it was the longest summer in history. She was 21 years old when she put on her first B&B apron and was a fixture at the restaurant for 30 years, taking over

after her mother’s death. The day she signed the business name over to her former landlord was “heartbreaking,” she said. “I felt like I let down my mom,” Hooper said. “Even though this is a new start, the B&B had been my whole life.” The new start came about two months after she closed the doors to the B&B, which has remained closed, and around the time her family’s concern grew to epic proportions. The woman who had spent all of her life in the daily bustle of a family restaurant resorted to filling her time at her sewing machine. By the time she was done, she had set aside 20 baby quilts for donation to a local women’s shelter. “My kids said `she’s losing it,’” Hooper said. Instead of losing it, Hooper followed through with a new venture in the form of Tricocci’s Family Restaurant. Named after her 8-month-old grandson Richard Tricocci Loiacono, the restaurant

Angela Hooper, former owner of B&B Cafe in Castle Rock, at her new restaurant Tricocci’s Family Restaurant. She is pictured here with her son, Jarad Loiacono, and her grandson, Richard Tricocci Loiacono. Photo by Rhonda Moore is down the street from the B&B in a space formerly filled by the Tana Dolce Wine Bar. Hooper is revamping the space to accommodate high-backed cherry booths, hand-troweled

walls, historic photos of Castle Rock and an atmosphere fitting for family diners. The breakfast menu will remain the same as that at the B&B and the lunch menu will include

a few minor changes. Entirely new to the Hooper family, which makes up the backbone of the staff, is a dinner menu featuring American Italian fare, alcohol and a children’s menu. Children rank high on Hooper’s list. Set aside on the restaurant’s second floor is a play area for the five children younger than 5 years old among her staff’s families, including her grandson. “Litigation can really drag you down, emotionally and financially,” Hooper said. “Plus I had 17 employees and family members. This (grandchild) has really inspired me. I was so down and he just lifted me up.” Hooper also found support in the form of customers looking forward to her new place. She hopes to have Tricocci’s open by the end of March and, about two weeks before her deadline, customer Bob Davis, 75, was among those who dropped in to pick up a paintbrush, just to pitch in. “We’ve got to get the place open,” Davis said.

Mentoring program forges partnerships Goal is to help young people reach potential By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com Mike Evans joined the Douglas County Partners to fill a spot on his bucket list. Evans, a Castle Rock entrepreneur, had a goal to make a difference in the life of a child other than his own. When he put the goal down on paper and shared his desire with his friends, the universe responded with Douglas County Partners. The organization is part of a youth mentoring program established in 1968, Metro Denver Partners, with a satellite office in Castle Rock.

In joining, he forged a relationship with his junior partner he expects could last a lifetime. “I’ve been blessed; he’s a fantastic kid,” Evans said. “My view is he has diversified his experience until he gets into college. My goal is that he stays active and well connected.” Evans was matched with his junior partner in a process that included an FBI background check, fingerprinting, driving record and sex offender registry check, an inhome visit, orientation and training. The matches are for one year but usually progress beyond that benchmark, said Jessica Summers, spokeswoman for Douglas County Partners. “For the most part, once people start, they usually develop such a great friendship and bond they want to continue on,” Sum-

mers said. “We really are just looking for someone who wants to spend some time with the child, give back and try to help them realize their potential.” About eight children in Douglas County are on the waiting list for mentors, or senior partners. Junior partners are between the ages of 8 and 17 years old. The typical wait for girls seeking a partner is between three to four months; boys can wait as long as a year, Summers said. “We don’t require they have kids of their own, they just need to want to spend time and give back,” she said. “Our program is really about having fun, so that’s really something we emphasize.” For more information visit www.douglascountypartners.org or call 720-733-1960.

How sweet it is Young cupcake entrepreneur gains notice of ‘Today’ show By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Rocky Heights Middle School student Lyla Padden credits two very different people for inspiring her to launch a cupcake business that’s gaining national attention: Her grandmother and “The Cake Boss’” Buddy Valastro. Grandma taught her to bake. Watching “The Cake Boss,” a reality show about a family-run bakery that specializes in customized cakes, showed her all that was possible. The 13-year-old’s made-from-scratch cupcakes helped her win the “Today” show’s “Today’s Future Stars of Tomorrow” contest, which will include a live appearance on the morning program on March 15. “I’ve always loved baking,” said Lyla, who started her business Flour Gal when she was 10. “I decided to combine my two loves of baking and money together to sell cupcakes to other people.” Lyla’s cupcakes, which sell for between $20 and $25 a dozen, are offered in a variety of flavors. Purists can choose from vanilla, chocolate, lemon and red velvet. For the adventurous, Lyla recommends the MexiCali, a vanilla cupcake filled with jalapeno jelly and topped with butter cream frosting. Even she isn’t quite sure what prompted the Mexi-Cali’s creation. “I sort of just came up with it,” she said. Lyla started promoting her business with fliers, emails and a website. “I got business right away,” she said. She also got noticed. Lyla won the 2012 Colorado Young Entrepreneurs Award, the 2012 Rockies Venture Club Colorado Capital Conference Youth Entrepreneurship Award and the 2012 Million Dollar Butterflies Top Entrepreneur Award. She’s also raised funds to help expand her business through a company called

Crowd funding is a collective effort of individuals who pool money to support efforts like Flour Gal’s. First Funder has so far helped Lyla raise more than $2,000 to grow her business. While Lyla still considers the business a hobby, it’s not a passing interest. “I hope to continue this throughout my life,” she said. The “Today” show is paying for her mother, Monica Padden, to accompany Lyla to New York. Father Andrew and brother Owen are going at their own expense. The “Today” show “is picking us up in a limo from the airport,” Monica Padden said. “It’s just crazy.” “My husband and I are just so thrilled for her. We say, it’s like the frosting on the cake.” To learn more about Lyla’s business, visit www.flourgal.com.

s Douglas sets ‘sunny’ example Review board says county is transparency trend-setter By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com The effort to increase government transparency began with a group of Florida newspapers that wanted to talk about open government. Their effort grew to a national scorecard in the form of the Sunshine Review, which each year ranks government agencies on their transparency practices. The effort is recognized in mid-March with Sunshine Week, showcasing the effort about the public’s right to know what its government is doing, and why. Douglas County was singled out in the 2013 transparency report card as the first

in Colorado to rank an A-plus for website transparency. County officials supported the effort to meet the Sunshine Review Board’s 10-point transparency checklist, which grades on the availability of information on government websites. The measuring stick reviews available content on government websites against a checklist of information all government agencies should provide to the public.

“Transparency empowers citizens,” said Michael Barnhart, president of Sunshine Review. “Citizens are entitled to crucial information on how the public business is conducted and how public money is spent. Without this information, voters cannot hold government accountable. Without transparency accountability is impossible.” Among the items on the checklist are public budget information, usability of the site, information about elected and administration officials, posted ethics guidelines, audits, contracts, lobbyist information, public records and taxes. Colorado received an A-minus for 2013 while Douglas County was cited as one of the state’s two best examples of improvement in its transparency policies. As Colorado’s lead county to earn a top

grade, it set the example for Adams County, which in 2012 followed through with ethics reforms and earned its first Sunny Award, according to the 2013 sunshine transparency report card. “A responsibility of the board, on behalf of our citizens and taxpayers, is to see to it that Douglas County government is open and transparent,” said Commissioner Jill Repella, District 3. “We recognize that nothing is more critical to building a reputation for stability and credibility as stewards of pubic assets than public trust and — especially for government — informational and fiscal transparency is foundational to that achievement.” Sunshine Week is March 10-16. For more information about the Sunshine Review Board’s 2013 transparency report card, visit www.sunshinereview.org.

How to file a request for records in Colorado Staff report Colorado law has placed powerful tools in the hands of citizens who want to know what is being done with their tax dollars and in their names: the Colorado Open Records Act and the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act. The ability to “CORA” for public records is commonly done by journalists, but the so-called “sunshine” laws can be used by anyone, and they empower people equally. While there are records that can remain sealed, and while copying costs and “reasonable fees” can be charged, the range of records covered by the law is broad. Filing a Colorado records request is straightforward. Determine the identity of the “custodian of records” for the information you are seeking, along with that person’s mailing address or email address. That is the person responsible for maintaining and keeping the records, or any person having personal custody and control of the records.

In the request, list which records law is being cited, and describe the records that are being requested. Be reasonably specific in the description of the records, but also describe them broadly enough to make sure the request includes all records that could hold the information. Ask the recipient of the request for notification if he or she is not the records custodian, and for the identity of the person who has custody or control of the records. Ask for the records within three working days, although extenuating circumstances provide for up to seven days. Include a sentence requesting a written explanation, including the citation of a law or regulation, if the access is denied. Make sure the requester’s name and contact information are included, and it’s ready to go. For a well-written guidebook to Colorado’s open-records laws, go online to coloradopressassociation.com and enter “sunshine laws” in the search bar.

Law eases acquisition of public records Staff report Gov. John Hickenlooper has signed into law a bill that attempts to make public records easier to acquire. House Bill 1041 requires government agencies in Colorado to email, fax or send by traditional mail records that a person does not want to inspect at the records custodian’s office. The bill, signed by the governor March 8, allows for an agency to charge for postage if records are mailed but states that no transmission fees shall apply if they are emailed. It also permits fees to be assessed for making paper copies of records and for time spent researching and collecting the infor-

mation, as already allowed under state law. Critics of the legislation contend it will only make it more difficult to obtain records by allowing government agencies’ custodians to charge exorbitant fees. The bill has also drawn fire for stating that records will not be delivered until fees are collected. The Colorado Press Association supports the legislation, saying that while it’s not perfect, it is a positive change. “There’s much work to be done with clarification of CORA (Colorado Open Records Act) and fees, but this is a great first step,” a statement on the CPA’s Facebook page says.

Ron Hanavan, DCSO spokesman. “This is illegal activity.” “In this circumstance, it’s because it was being sold. He represented it as a donation, but there was no doubt it was not a donation. It was being sold.” Medicinal marijuana, approved by Colorado voters in 2000, remains the only exception, he said. Detectives from Douglas County’s Pattern Crime Unit, which includes officers from sheriff’s office, Parker, Castle Rock and Lone Tree police departments, arranged the rendezvous. The posting that caught the officers’ attention suggests those interested “Donate to charity and receive a free MJ gift!” “All you need to do is call,” said the ad, listing a phone number, “and Chris will drive to your location to receive your donation and give you your free gift.” “Each $30 donation receives a free oneeighth!” the ad said. It also suggested to customers: “Tip your driver! You tip the pizza driver, don’t you?” Colorado voters passed an initiative legalizing marijuana for recreational use in November, allowing adults 21 or older to possess up to an ounce of the substance. Amendment 64 does not allow for public consumption of marijuana, and there still is no legal way to sell it.

CCM MARKS SUNSHINE WEEK Since 2005, Sunshine Week has been observed to highlight the importance of open government. It’s about the right we all enjoy to have access to public records. It’s about the role we all play in holding our government agencies accountable to those they serve. Launched by the American Society of News Editors, the initiative is timed to coincide with the birthday of

the “Father of the Constitution,” James Madison, on March 16. Sunshine Week 2013 began on March 10, and Colorado Community Media is marking the week by bringing you some insight into how you can obtain public records. Together, we can all work toward greater transparency in our federal, state and local governments.

Recognition leaves teacher ‘humbled’ Tafoya honored as elementary educator of the year By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com Shannon Tafoya’s classroom is described by one administrator as akin to a neighborhood coffee shop, where every customer’s cup counts. Tafoya is a fifth-grade teacher at Sedalia Elementary School and the 2013 recipient of the Douglas County School District Apple Award for Elementary Educator of the Year. She was nominated by her colleagues, students and parents, a reflection of the

unique learning environment in Tafoya’s classroom, said Principal George Boser. “When you walk in there … there’s this positive warm feel. A good hang-out feel,” Boser said. “She’s that barista pouring that perfect cup of coffee for everyone. It’s all welcoming, engaging and fun in there.” Tafoya has been teaching at Sedalia for 12 years, selecting the school for its sense of community. Sedalia is unique among Douglas County’s schools, thanks in part to its more rural location and its classroom diversity, Boser said. Nearly 50 percent of the students are on the reduced lunch program, 20 percent speak a language other than English at home and the mobility rate — those students who enroll in and out within the school year — ranges up to 32 percent, he said. Those factors rank among the reasons Tafoya loves Sedalia. Tafoya’s fifth-graders begin their day one recent morning working on their passion projects, websites dedicated to a passion of

their choice. They work on iPads acquired through Tafoya’s efforts to keep her students up to speed on technological advances. The iPads have become a pivotal part of her curriculum. “Everything we do is related to the use of the iPad as a tool,” Tafoya said. “The goal is to engage in authentic relationships, inquiry and problem-solving outside of the classroom so they can learn to use it in a real way. I want them to know how to use the tools and be the problem-solvers of the future.” Tafoya shares her teaching philosophy with her fellow teachers, as leader of the team on professional development, and her children, all of whom were students in her classroom. Being named among the district’s top educators made her feel “overwhelmed and humbled,” she said. “I’m proud to represent Sedalia because we have some great teachers here,” she said. “It was an acknowledgment of the great work we’re doing here.”

Apple Award winner’s boss sings her praises By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Like almost every Apple Award winner, school nurse consultant Celia Flanigan becomes tongue-tied when asked why she believes she was chosen for the honor. “There’s so many people that deserve it,” she said. “I was shocked.” Flanigan, a Douglas County School District nurse for 14 years, was chosen as the district’s 2013 Classified Employee of the Year. While she’s reluctant to talk about the qualities that earned her that distinction, her boss has no such reservations. “Celia is a remarkable person,” said Paulette Joswick, director of DCSD Health Services. “She’s so well loved among her fellow nurses, and also her schools. I’ve never heard anybody say anything negative about her.” Flanigan has helped health services work efficiently with its available staff. “There aren’t as many nurses as we would like for servicing kids with increasingly complicated health problems, so we have to work smarter,” Joswick said. “Celia is one of those that teaches us to work smarter.” School nurses are responsible for multiple schools, and Flanigan leads an eightnurse team that covers the nearly 30 Parker-area schools. Because nurses can’t be on-site at all times, she helps train school staff to care for specific health issues. “We have heart disease, transplants, diabetes — a lot of very challenging issues,” Joswick said. “A lot of very challenging health issues. People look at a school nurse and think, `She’s sitting in a clinic taking care of boo-boos,’ and that is not what we’re doing at all.

School nurse consultant Celia Flanigan was named DCSD’s 2013 Classified Employee of the Year. Courtesy photo “Celia’s very cheerful, very positive, very knowledgeable — and always willing to share that knowledge with others.” The Franktown resident has been a nurse for more than 30 years, earning her master’s degree in 2005. Nursing is all she’s ever wanted to do. But she found her niche in 1999 when she switched from a hospital to a school setting. “Once I started doing it, I absolutely loved it,” she said. She treats children for a broad variety of health challenges, from allergies and asthma to emotional disorders and cancer. She works with athletes who’ve suffered concussions as part of the district’s Traumatic Brain Injury team. Flanigan finds joy in helping students work through those issues and still reap the benefits of school. “I really find it uplifting,” Flanigan said. “It’s always great to see the kids have the opportunity for an education — regardless of what health concerns they may have.” “I plan to do this until I retire and that probably won’t be for a long time.”

Not your parents’ cafeteria Community invited to sample schools’ lunch menu By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Nutrition Services Director Brent Craig wants all of Douglas County to know the days when children hid undesired lunch food in milk cartons are long gone. At least in the Douglas County School District. To prove it, he’s inviting the community to sample some of today’s lunch fare during the second annual Taste of DCSD. The free event is from 5 to 7 p.m. March 20 at Parker’s Legend High School. “Some people still think of school lunch as icky because 30 years ago, it was really bad,” Craig said. “We’re doing an open house so the community can see all the positive things we’re doing.” About a third of the dozens of vendors that Nutrition Services works with will be

represented. Those include Subway, Whole Foods, Red Bird Farms, Ready Foods, Schwan’s, Kellogg’s, Jennie-O and Chobani. “We do fresh fruits and vegetables every day,” said Craig, who helped revamp the independently operated Nutrition Services Department. “We want people to try our new beef patty, which is a clean-label beef. Our harvest bars will be there, so you can get a full salad. Ready Foods, a local company who makes all our sauces, will be there. It’s a great way to get a great meal.” About 500 people attended the inaugural event in 2012. This year, Craig hopes for about 1,000. He already has about 300 RVSPs. Anyone is welcome to attend. “It’s a community event,” he said. “If they don’t have to have kids in the school and they just want to come and learn about school lunch, I’m fine with that. I enjoy working with the community. As people learn about us, they really embrace it.” RSVPs are desired, but not required, and can be made by email at: nutritionservices@dcsdk12.org.

Cloverleaf popular with home-school families District aiming for expansion of program to meet demand

Christian curriculum provider makes secular edits By Jane Reuter jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com

Little more than a year after the Douglas County School District took over the Cloverleaf Home Education program, the one-daya-week classroom model is expanding. DCSD will either add another classroom in Castle Rock or a third location in Parker for the 2013-14 academic year. DCSD leases church space for its two existing Cloverleaf sites, in Castle Rock at Grace Chapel and in Lone Tree at Cornerstone Church. “We have a waiting list at our Castle Rock location,” said Pat McGraw, the district’s development and innovation officer. “We will probably be serving another 75 to 100 kids next year.” The program brings students who are educated by their parents at home four days a week into a classroom with other homeschooled students one day each week. There, students get a more traditional classroom experience, with instruction in all subjects, joint projects and socialization. “My kids have just loved it,” said Castle Rock mom Nicole Carson, who’s enrolled three of her four children in Cloverleaf. “They love the teachers. They love the DCSD’sinteraction with friends. It allows me in the other four days to do o what we need to get done and still

Parents peruse home-school materials during a spring 2012 curriculum fair in Castle Rock sponsored by the Douglas County School District. Courtesy photo have a quality educational experience.” Cloverleaf is not a new program, but the Castle Rock program was for years run by Aurora Public Schools. DCSD stepped in for the 201112 school year. Home-schooled students are funded by the state at half the rate of a full-time student, so the district receives about $3,100 a year for each Cloverleaf student. It uses that money to provide parents with educational materials for home use, lease the sites, pay teachers and for classroom materials and activities. About 1,000 parents are registered with DCSD to run a home education program. More and more of them are choosing to augment their home education with one of DCSD’s programs.

In addition to Cloverleaf, Platte River Academy and American Academy offer home-school programs. Because of the state-provided funding, McGraw said the programs are provided “at zero cost to the district.” “Over the past two years, we have a significantly larger number participating in programs we have sponsored for them,” McGraw said. “It also happens to be bringing in some per-pupil revenue for us. But our goal was to meet them where they needed and bring services to them. “I’m very pleased in terms of the relationships we’re developing with the parents,” McGraw said. “It’s a relationship based on respect.” While many home education parents choose the option for re-

Greg Thewes is in a unique position. His company, Sonlight, publishes some of the books the Douglas County School District uses for its Cloverleaf Home Education program — a program in which his own children are engaged. Littleton-based Sonlight traditionally produces Christian home-school curriculum, but revamped some of its materials to ensure those it provides to DCSD are absent any religious references. “Last year was the first year we’ve done anything with Cloverleaf,” said Thewes, Sonlight’s CFO. “We kind of walked through it gingerly because we didn’t know what we could and couldn’t do, and we wanted to make sure school district didn’t pay for any religious materials.” Last year, Sonlight removed its instructors’ guides — which contain religious references — from packets it sent to Cloverleaf. But that made using the literature more difficult for parent instructors. “So we reviewed the guides and took out any references that would have to do with advocating for faith,” Thewes said. “Everyone wins.” Though the DCSD program may have prompted the change, it will help Sonlight with pressures from other school districts as well. “It would not be worth it to do it for one district,” Thewes said. “There are other entities. We’re working with groups in Alaska, Ohio and Washington. This is a need we want to meet.” Sonlight is one option among many Cloverleaf parents can choose. DCSD has an approved, vetted list of home education curriculum providers, and even held a curriculum fair for homeschool parents in spring 2012. Parents and students use the material during their at-home instruction. It is on loan to the families for the year, and is returned to DCSD and reused in subsequent years by other families. Cloverleaf classroom teachers use separate materials. None of it is religious, McGraw said. “Sonlight understood the challenge we had in spending public dollars on religious content,” McGraw said. “I’m happy they were so supportive of what we were doing they created a secular division.” It doesn’t hurt that Thewes, who lives in Castle Rock with his wife and three children, sees firsthand the program’s benefits. His children attend Cloverleaf one day a week at Castle Rock’s Grace Chapel. “The service it provides is just incredible,” he said. “It gives them that social (time) and the ability to do joint projects. It’s difficult to have a fifth-grader, a second-grader and a kindergartner working on a science project it can take two to three days to prepare for. This makes more economic sense, and my kids look forward to it.”

ligious reasons, their reasons are varied. “I am a Christian, but that wasn’t my main motivation,” Carlson said. “It started just as I wasn’t ready to send my kid off to be in someone else’s hands all day. Then I also wanted to be the main influence in what they were learning and who was influencing them. It was good for us to be able to

spend that time together and for me to help develop them as young people.” Carlson’s oldest child has participated in the program for six years. She thinks DCSD’s involvement has been for the better. “They’re offering more options for us, resources that weren’t available when Aurora had it,” she said. “I definitely think it’s a positive thing.”

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Delivering results, exceeding expectations In some of my correspondence with readers, I find myself engaged in meaningful discussions around philosophy or belief systems, strategic thinking or planning, and tactical action items and execution of plans and strategies. When we are pursuing our goals and objectives our ultimate desire is to see results and meet or even exceed expectations. In order to do so, however, we have to make sure that we are in alignment in all three areas; our belief systems must support the reason behind our goal; once we have defined our goal and its relation to our core beliefs we should develop a strategy or plan; and finally we must act, take action, execute, and get after it. Many people do a great job of talking about their goals, and why they want to achieve them. They get so focused on their philosophical approach to life, and maybe, just maybe, even like talking about their

beliefs and philosophies a little too much. They mask their willingness to actually do something or take the next steps with pontification about their point of view. Our belief system should drive our plans and tactical approach, they should be seen as our foundation and launching pad, not a barrier or the end point in the pursuit of our objectives. I keep copies of my core values and beliefs in very visible places. By now they

have been ingrained in my head and my heart, and yet I still find it helpful to have them in plain sight so that when I am making plans and discussing strategies I am reminded of what is truly important in my life. A bonus of keeping them visual is that others see them too. And when they know where I stand on certain issues in life, they know that anything we co-create and any strategic plans we co-develop must be tied to my values and my beliefs. And as I have shared in prior columns we must be willing to execute and take action. So many people I have coached have come to me with their vision, their mission, their values, their business plan or life plan and they are stuck, frozen in time, and suffer from a lack of just taking that first step. And as my great friend and mentor Zig Ziglar used to say, “People who never take step one, can never take step two.” Taking action is important, but it must be

March is historically the Denver area’s snowiest month of the year, and with a winter storm in the forecast March 8, Colorado

Community Media asked people in the Park Meadows area what they thought when they heard a big snowstorm is coming, and why.

“It doesn’t bother me too much because I’m from Iowa, which gets buried in snow. I know this coming snow will melt in next few days, so as long as I can go out for my normal run, it’s fine.” — Kate Richards, Denver

“Normally, I would be wishing for spring .... But because we’ve had such a terrible winter moisture-wise, I’m kind of excited for the 10-14 inches being predicted.” — CJ Strange, Highlands Ranch

I love it because we have horses and we badly need moisture for the pasture. Also, I’m a CPA (certified public accountant) and I hate good weather during tax season. If I’ve got to work hard, everybody else should be working hard (jokingly). — Jay Dahl, Parker

“It depends on if I’m going to be traveling. I’m from Laramie, Wyo., and the roads close down there quite a bit. But I will be in Denver for the next few days .... I’m hoping to ski next weekend, but it might melt off before I get the chance.” — Deborah Ross

First time, every time I told my girlfriend about Emily, and she said, “I wonder if Emily has Asperger syndrome?” “What,” I said, “is that?” She outlined the disorder, and it sounded exactly like Emily. Emily works at a nearby hardware store. I can ask her anything. Where are the bluehandled, not the red, not the yellow, ball peen hammers and which direction are they facing, and she can tell me. I once bought a garden hose, and she gave me a garden hose tip that was as good as anything on “Ask This Old House.” Emily works at the register. She has checked me out 100 times. One hundred times she has asked me if I am in The Program. Sometimes she has asked me if I am in The Program after I have told her that I am not in The Program. “Asperger syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests,” says a Wikipedia entry. “It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development.” In other words, Emily. My girlfriend had an Asperger syndrome student named “Guyana” who went by Guyana, and then decided she wanted to be called “Pamela.” “She was SO good in my computer class that I had her teach several lessons. She should make YouTube tutorials.” Emily asks me if I am in The Program, and when I say I am not, she recites the benefits. Every single time. She says, “Have a good one,” every single time. Now and then I have stayed nearby, to hear how she communicates with the next customer. It’s precisely the same. “A pervasive developmental disorder, Asperger syndrome is distinguished by a pattern of symptoms rather than a single

symptom. It is characterized by qualitative impairment in social interaction, by stereotyped and restricted patterns of behavior, activities and interests, and by no clinically significant delay in cognitive development or general delay in language. Intense preoccupation with a narrow subject, one-sided verbosity, and physical clumsiness are typical for the condition.” I saw Emily in the grocery store one day and she looked completely lost. “Pamela” doesn’t like crowds, sits in the cafeteria during sports assemblies, wears weird clothes, and doesn’t understand personal space. My girlfriend had to draw a circle to describe how far she wanted her to stand away from her when they talked. She used to burst into the office and announce her arrival, show drawings of dragons, and give strange facts. “The school,” my girlfriend said, “has been so good for her because her classmates embrace her and allow her to be Guyana-Pamela. She has thrived here and when I mentioned this to her parents at a conference, they cried.” I know I have been impatient with my Emily. The next time she asks me if I am a member of The Program, I will simply say that I am not, and simply say that I do not wish to become one. I’m still learning.

YOUR VIEWS

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

How do you prepare for a snowstorm?

congruent with our strategy and values, or we will wind up doing the wrong kind of work or even worse, doing work that is counterproductive to our goal. When it comes to delivering results and exceeding expectations it is not just about being philosophically aligned to our belief systems; coming up with the best strategy or plan; or taking action. If we are going to achieve our desired results and outperform expected outcomes, we must be complete, we must have all three elements. Please keep the emails coming and let me know if your beliefs, strategies, and tactical approach are all in alignment. You can email me at gotonorton@gmail.com and let’s make this a better than good week.

Thank you, Carole Murray

This is a warm thank you to you, Carole Murray, House representative for Douglas County, who cast the lone Republican vote in committee for the Colorado Civil Union Act. You overcame pressure to vote otherwise and were true to your conscience, a well-developed sense of right and wrong, and personal integrity. You were true to your pledge to protect the basic freedoms that unite Americans. You were true to our sacred national document, the Constitution, that guarantees equal rights to all citizens. As a heterosexual wife, mother and grandmother, I believe that everyone, regardless of sexual orientation, is entitled to the same rights as myself: to love, to have a legally recognized union, to raise a family, to have the legal protections to raise that family, and to be a respected and fully enfranchised member of our community, our state, and our nation. We should have no second-class citizens. But, this is not about me. It is about you, Carole, and how you represented those of us, regardless of political affiliations, who stand for equality. You have my deepest respect and admiration. With your help, committed gay and lesbian couples will soon have critical legal protections to provide for one another, protections most of us take for granted, such as access to medical-care information and decision-making, access to healthcare coverage, and the ability to arrange proceedings related to a partner’s death ... humane and compassionate protections. This IS the civil rights issue of this time and place, and those who speak for gay and lesbian equality march alongside those who fought for women’s right to vote and the civil rights movement led by Rev. Martin Luther King. Carole, you will look back on your tenure as a state official and say, “I did the right thing. I did not let this moment in history pass me by without taking a stand

Coffman should tackle loopholes

Rep. Mike Coffman released a statement recently in regards to across-the-board cuts in spending caused by sequestration. Coffman asserts, “I will continue to work hard every day to prioritize spending in order to protect our military, our veterans, our seniors, and the families across my congressional district from being negatively impacted.” The congressman needs to consider a more responsible way of balancing the national budget through closing corporate tax loopholes to generate revenue at a time when his constituents need it the most. If Coffman was truly standing up for his constituency, shouldn’t he be concerned about 10 years of cuts to essential programs that the people in his district need to maintain their basic livelihoods? Take Centennial local Snow Shaefer for example. She is worried about how the cuts to Medicare will affect her everyday life. “For me personally, the cost shifting would be on my shoulders to come up with the 2 percent reduction of payment to providers. I would need to make a decision on whether to go to the doctor or pay my heating bill. Do I go to the doctor or eat this week?” Snow expressed to Coffman’s staff. Unfortunately, Snow’s story is all too common in the 6th District of Colorado. These cuts will be devastating to working and middle-class families, which is why Rep. Coffman must be a champion for his people and support closing corporate tax loopholes. Caitlin Murray Denver

Library change shouldn’t be made in rush

The Douglas County Libraries, a library district (and like the county, a subdivision of the state), was established by a vote of the citizens in 1990. At that time, the county commissioners granted to the new library board of trustees (first by intergovernmental agreement, and in 2001 by resolution) the right to nominate its own members. The commissioners have always been the final appointing authority. That arrangement isn’t uncommon, although there are several variations around the state. There are no elected library boards in Colorado, and appointing authorities often hand over the nominating process. But Colorado library law is explicit about accountability: It is the trustees, and only the trustees, who are responsible for adopting a budget, for setting policy, for evaluation of the director, for the acquisition and disposition of property, and more. We have adopted three processes we believe are exemplary. One of them concerns nominations. When there are vacancies, we advertise widely, request letters of interest and resumes, interview candidates in realen life panel environments, and carefully consider qualifications focused only on ful communication skills, not political views. have Then we forward our recommendation is, to the county commissioners, who have always accepted them. It is not unusual ilcox Rock

ment

for us to receive over a dozen applications for each open position. We routinely invite the commissioners to participate in the process. Our second process is an annual board evaluation. Once a year, trustees must fill out a formal document that not only holds their own performance to rigorous standards, but assesses the functioning of the board as a group. This process has been tweaked through the years, but is widely considered a “best practice” in the field. Our trustees have presented on this model at regional and national conferences, and have even been approached by a library publisher to write a book about it. Our third process concerns reappointment. If serving trustees seek reappointment, they are again formally evaluated by all other board members according to various criteria: Do they attend meetings?

Do they thoroughly review board packet materials before meetings? Do they not only participate, but contribute to board discussions and decisions? Do they seek opportunities to connect both to our community and the larger library environment? In short, the board of trustees of the Douglas County Libraries has been a thoughtful, conscientious and high-performing public body. It has demonstrated the ability to manage its performance, and held itself to the highest standards of public accountability. Since 2009, our library has been ranked number one in the nation for our population (by Hennen’s American Public Library Rankings). In its 22 years of operation, the library has incurred no debt, survived a recession with no layoffs or cutbacks in public service, and has even saved for future construction. It has been recently mentioned in Forbes and the Wall Street Journal as a leader in the field of digital content management, and as a pioneer in the nurturing and ebook publication of local authors. Moreover, we have enjoyed strong, mutually supportive partnerships with the schools (for whom we provide over $250,000 in services annually), the towns and cities in the county, the Highlands Ranch Metro District, various chambers of commerce, Arapahoe Douglas Works! and

Mary Elizabeth Kasunic

Mary died suddenly Saturday March 2 in Castle Rock CO after having recently celebrated her 82nd birthday with friends and family. Mary was a graduate of Collinwood High School in Cleveland, Ohio and moved to Colorado in 2001 with her husband to be closer to her children and grandchildren. Mary’s husband of 62 years [Big Lou] preceded her in death by nine weeks. Mary retired after thirty years with the Wickliffe, Ohio public schools serving as the secretary for numerous principals.

many others. Board discussion is often passionate and robust. Because the library board acts promptly to recommend members, it has never suffered from long vacancies. Of course, any process can be improved, and we welcome the county commissioners to participate and suggest thoughtful changes to any of our current mechanisms for ensuring effective governance. We do not, however, believe that simply substituting a partisan appointment process, without the significant input of our highly engaged volunteer trustees, would lead to improvement. As noted in the Feb. 21 and Feb. 22 editions of Colorado Community Media’s Douglas County newspapers, if it isn’t broken, what are we trying to fix? And why now?

Mary is survived by her son Brian Lee Kasunic, Dr. Louis Kasunic (daughter in love Wanda),and her son from another mother Dr. Jeffery Lee Harsch (Laura), grandchildren Mason, Tara, Collin, Maurissa, and Andre (Becky), and one great grandson Colton. She is also survived by her sister Eileen (Chuck) Crow, and many nieces and nephews. Mary’s commitment to her husband, her family, and her friends was rare indeed in this modern world. A joint memorial service for Mary and Lou will be held at Grace Chapel Castle Rock, 935 Evalena St., Castle Rock, 80104 on Saturday March 30 at 11am. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in their memory to Grace Chapel Castle Rock.

District, non-union association dispute collaboration claims By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Two teachers’ groups traded barbs recently, with one claiming the other is “in bed” with the Douglas County Board of Education and the other calling those accusations baseless. The Douglas County Federation of Teachers, for decades the only DCSD teachers’ union, believes the board that failed to renew their collective bargaining agreement in 2012 is tied to the Professional Association of Colorado Educators. PACE, described as a non-union teachers association that prides itself on being nonpartisan, is the state chapter of the Association of American Educators. The AAE claims traditional teachers’ unions have disseminated false information about them to discourage teachers from joining them. That, PACE membership director Tim Farmer said, is what’s happening in Douglas County. “This information is completely

misleading and dishonest,” Farmer said. “The idea that somehow PACE and the school board are working together is just ludicrous.” A key sticking point between the district and DCFT during the ultimately fruitless 2012 negotiations was DCSD’s request that the union give up its role as the teachers’ sole bargaining agent. DCFT recently posted on its website a document called “PACE Revealed: The truth behind the organization,” it says was in response to an email PACE sent to DCSD teachers. It details PACE’s and AAE’s alleged ties to organizations and individuals that support the current school board, “as well as its illegal voucher program.” “There are organizations all across the country that link back to the AAE, all very much anti-union organizations,” DCFT President Brenda Smith said. “They say they’re not political, but political people support them.” PACE responded to the accusations on its website, calling most of the claims misleading or inaccurate. “We hope that’ll be the end of it,” Farmer said. “We don’t want to engage in a back-and-forth. We want the factual information to be out there and let the teachers decide.” The National Education Associa-

Me som on

tion, the country’s largest labor union, also has accused AAE and its state affiliates of being “pro-voucher” “antipublic education” and “anti-union.” Farmer doesn’t deny PACE sent emails to teachers, but said DCSD didn’t help them do so. “In November, we requested from By V the school district to distribute PACE vvela brochures to teacher mailboxes and were told ‘no,’” he said. “If we were Af actually collaborating and working a 10together with them, you’d think at the docu very least they’d let us put our brostate chures out.” univ DCSD spokeswoman Cinamon Gene Watson confirmed Farmer’s stateTh ment. “We told PACE ‘no,’” she said. Hous “We have not coordinated nor do we met plan to coordinate any distribution of and, material for PACE or DCFT.” legos Farmer said PACE created its own Th database of publicly available teacher fami emails. when “We sent out a mass email — ba“I sically a pretty standard blurb about said, PACE, letting them know about us,” he clear said. ture Smith said she has evidence to the contrary she cannot share. “We know for a fact they’re linked to our current school board members,” she said. “For them to say they’re not is just false.”

Valor students take ‘R-word’ pledge Special Olympians urge teens to join national campaign

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Kyle Visser’s speech was slow, but his words sounded loud and clear throughout the Valor Christian High School gymnasium. “When someone calls me `retard,’ it really hurts,” said the 19-year-old Special Olympian. “It can leave me feeling angry and depressed. (It’s) a hurtful word for people with disabilities. We have the same desires and emotions as normal people.” Visser, an Aurora resident, spoke to Valor students at a March 8 allschool assembly urging students to help eradicate the “R” word. “Spread the word to end the word” is a Special Olympics campaign hundreds of Valor students joined by signing pledge sheets after the assembly. “Pledge not to use the word,” Valor student Cooper Youngs said, “not only that but to hold other people accountable. “Really, this campaign is all about respect. People with intellectual disabilities aren’t any different than we are.” Youngs founded the Valor Special Olympics Club, through which students can coach and volunteer for the athletic competitions. Youngs said he’s richer for his involvement with Special Olympics. He

Photo by Jane Reuter started volunteering at his father’s urging, but did so begrudgingly. “Three and a half years later, it totally changed my life,” he told his fellow students. Ten-year-old Aurora resident Jake Whitney, who has Down syndrome, also addressed the students. He sat cross-legged on a stool and described the sports he loves to play. Whitney then led them in a rousing dance, immediately endearing himself to them. “He’s so cute!” several teenage girls whispered as Whitney grinned and waved at his audience.

That response is common, his mother said. “He’s always the center of attention,” Casey Whitney said. “I just think we’re so lucky that he was born in this time where he’s accepted. There’s been one kid in his 10 years that’s ever said anything (negative).” The R-word campaign asks people to stop using the word “as a starting point toward creating more accepting attitudes and communities for all people,” according to a website dedicated to the effort.

Watts said. Councilmembers heard from residents urging them to install a quiet zone. People reported nighttime disruption caused by the train whistle in neighborhoods from Red Hawk and The Meadows to the west, the Woodlands to the east and Plum Creek south of downtown. Greg Shim, a downtown acupuncturist, worked with a client to lower his

blood pressure and was back to square one once the patient was exposed to the train whistle. “He moved his business next to the tracks and within six months his blood pressure started going back up,” Shim said. “There are significant health impacts to the people around the horn.” The quiet zone is not guaranteed to stop all train whistles, Watts said. The train crew has the final word on whether or not to sound the whis-

tle, he said. “The engineer always has the option to sound the horn if they perceive a danger,” Watts said. “If they see a pedestrian by the tracks who doesn’t seem to be paying attention, maybe the pedestrian is hearing-impaired and doesn’t know a train is approaching. From what I’ve heard from other towns, it doesn’t happen that frequently, but it does happen on occasion.”

Immigrant tuition bill clears Legislature Measure garners some GOP support on way to governor By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com After several unsuccessful attempts over a 10-year period, a bill that would allow undocumented immigrant students to pay instate tuition rates at Colorado colleges and universities has finally been passed by the General Assembly. The passage of Senate Bill 33 by the House of Representatives on March 8 was met with applause in the House chambers, and, in the case of 16-year-old Nadya Gallegos, tears of joy. The Westminster High School student’s family immigrated to the country illegally when she was a child. “I’m so happy that it passed,” Gallegos said, with tears streaming down her face. “It clears my mind. Because now I have a future and I can pursue my dreams.”

The so-called ASSET bill — Advancing Students for a Stronger Economy Tomorrow — would allow all students to pay instate tuition rates, so long as they are high school graduates who have attended a Colorado school for at least three years. Current federal law bars undocumented immigrants from working legally in the United States. Attempts to pass various versions of the bill Report have failed. But, this time, it got through — with Republican support, to boot. Three Republican House members voted for ASSET on March 8, joining three GOP senators who had done so on Feb. 25. “Immigrant children are hungry to succeed and we need them in this country,” said Rep. Kevin Priola, R-Henderson, during a March 5 House floor debate that preceded the final vote. Priola said he sees immigrant children at church every week who have “futures and

Capitol

bright minds at stake ...” “I ask anyone who has issues on this bill to attend Mass with me at noon on a Sunday,” Priola said. Rep. Cheri Gerou, R-Evergreen, who also voted for the bill, said it was not “a Democrat or Republican issue.” “All I did was vote my conscience,” she said. Rep. Steve Lebsock, D-Thornton, said his best friend came to this country illegally when she was 2, but “that didn’t make her any less of a person.” “If a child graduates from a high school in Colorado, they’re a Colorado kid,” Lebsock said. “Colorado kids deserve in-state tuition. That’s what this bill is all about.” Many Republicans on March 5 argued that it’s wrong for Colorado taxpayers to chip in tuition costs for students who are not legal residents. That’s because undocumented students would be eligible for the same stipend from the state’s College Opportunity Fund as legal residents, under ASSET. Republicans unsuccessfully tried to tack on an amendment that would put ASSET to the voters.

“Because our taxpayers fund this, I believe our taxpayers deserve the right to vote on this,” said Rep. Amy Stephens, R-Monument. Republican arguments against the bill prompted an angry response from the bill’s House sponsor. “I’m frustrated,” said Rep. Crisanta Duran, D-Denver. “There is just an air of arrogance. I’m hearing that the only people who can vote in elections are the only people who pay taxes.” Duran said Republicans were referring to undocumented immigrants as if they weren’t part of the community. “It’s those people,” Duran said. “It’s those undocumented people over there. They’re not Coloradans. They’re somebody else.” Republican Rep. Clarice Navarro of Pueblo joined Priola and Gerou in voting for ASSET on March 8. Republicans Sens. Owen Hill of Colorado Springs, Larry Crowder of Alamosa, and Greg Brophy of Wray voted for the bill on 25. ASSET now goes to the desk of Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, who is expected to sign the bill into law.

SHERIFF’S OFFICE BRIEFS Milk prank is criminal mischief

Authorities received three reports of a YouTube sensation known as “gallon smashing” at King Soopers stores in Castle Rock, Castle Pines and Highlands Ranch. The prank involves teenagers who enter a grocery store, grab gallons of milk, throw them in the air, then pretend to slip and fall on the “spilled milk.” One or two of the teenagers commit the act while another films it, capturing the action on video. King Soopers handled a claim in Castle Pines by a customer who gave authorities the name “Garrett Foster” after the teen was required by store management to file a report before leaving the store. Store security discovered the ruse while reviewing in-store videotape of the alleged slip and fall. The security employee later determined Foster provided false identifying information. While reviewing the tape, she recognized Foster and his videotaping accomplice as the two suspects in an identical incident that happened on the same date at the Castle Rock chool King Soopers. The suspects reportedly er staged the incident at the Castle Rock King Soopers about thirty minutes before heading to Castle Pines. his

Deputies reported that the three teens who allegedly staged the fall in Highlands Ranch were videotaped by the store leaving in an older model green Ford Probe. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office at 303-660-7505. The teens face possible charges of criminal mischief.

Fraud reported in Castle Pines

A resident of Castle Pines filed a report of fraud after receiving a collection letter for a bogus account. The letter was from Intuit, demanding payment of $162.63. The reporting party told the responding deputy he has never had an account with Intuit. The letter was sent to his home address to a company named Rosendo Pont, which he did not recognize. He contacted Intuit, which confirmed they had his name, date of birth and Social Security number on the account. The deputy advised him to check his credit report and deactivated the case for lack of suspect information or leads.

Criminal impersonation found

Officers received a call from a Douglas County man who owns and operates a concrete company. When

he prepared to file his 2012 taxes, he found someone has used his Social Security number to file tax returns. He was advised to contact the Federal Trade Commission and Social Security Administration and to file a police report. The case was deactivated until information becomes available to aid in the investigation.

Perry Pines burglary reported

A Larkspur woman reported on March 2 she opened her garage door to find the alarm on her daughter’s rental car sounding. She saw a shadow of a man by the car and enlisted the aid of her son-in-law, who was in the house. The alleged intruder was gone by the time she and her son-inlaw returned to the garage. She believed the intruder was about 5 feet, 10 inches tall and was wearing dark pants and a dark shirt. The responding officer walked around the immediate area of neighboring houses and did not find any human footprints. The deputy photographed the footprints at the crime scene and measured the foot prints with his pocket guide to criminal laws book. The case was deactivated for lack of leads.

attempting to execute an arrest warrant. The incidents are examples of why lawmakers shouldn’t tamper with the Second Amendment, Donahue said. “We can see we’re not isolated from danger, we’re not isolated from crime down here,” Donahue said. “There are times I feel it’s important residents and members of the community have the opportunity to defend themselves and that that right to defend themselves is not infringed upon by the state Legislature.” Because town council will not convene again until March 19, it is uncertain whether a formal resolution will

be drafted in time for the final vote on gun-control measures, said Slentz. Councilmembers asked Slentz to draft a message that could be directed to the governor, in case the gun-control measures reach his desk by the time Castle Rock’s message can be approved by councilmembers. For Donahue, the interest in the Second Amendment is close to home. “I have a wife who is a stay-athome mom and three kids who are not always there,” Donahue said. “If my wife would like to have more than 30 bullets in a magazine to protect herself and protect my family, I think she deserves to have that.”

REALTOR® Re/Max Leaders cell: 303-257-2801 e-fax: 303-991-3091 www.5280realestate.com realestate@heatherblake.com Where were you born? In the Suburbs of Washington, DC. I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio though! How long have you lived in the area? Since 1990, I went to University of Denver and never left! I also lived in Summit County for nine years after college and relocated to Denver in late 2000. What do you like most about it? I love the 300 days of sunshine! I’m outside doing something every day! Also, have you ever noticed how nice ev-eryone is here? Maybe it’s the attitude here because most people choose to live here! I notice it and when clients are moving here, they always comment on that. We are so lucky!

Well, I don’t really think I have a specialty because I truly believe you need to stay well rounded in our industry, especially in this economy. I really believe in staying ahead of the curve with technology and with housing statistics so I can try to provide as much accurate information as possible! I also serve in the Board of Directors for the South Metro Denver Realtor Association and I serve on the Legislative Policy Committee for the Colorado Association of Realtors. I believe that being active within our Realtor community keeps me ahead of the game about our industry. This knowledge is invaluable.

What is the most challenging part of what you do? Right now, it can be a little frustrating. Because our inventory is so low, most cli properties tend to go quickly. Some clients think that I am blowing smoke when I encourage them to make an offer on a house that they love and then be they miss out be-

What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working? I’m a tennis addict. If I told you how much I play, you would think I was crazy! I also, walk daily with my two 90-pound Labradoodles, Handsome Hans and Charming Charlie, ski and try to fit in some golf too! I’m also a food blogger in the evenings! What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? You are moving anyway, so why not start packing up your house, de-clutter and “spring clean” before the house goes on the market! Homes show better with less personal items – people want to see their own things in the home! What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Make lists; a must-have, would-like-to-have and I’d-bedreaming-if-I-got-it list. This really helps me narrow down homes when I look them up for you. Once we start looking you can adjust the list if you need to but a list is a great place to start! Also, in today’s market you need to be pre-approved for financing. You need to talk to a lender before you start your list! What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? There are two odd things… One, a 12-foot bronze Stallion in the middle of someone’s living room and a life size Yoda prominently displayed on a shelf in a family room! I actually took pictures of both because it was so strange!

IMPROVE YOUR CURB APPEAL M

en and women who have tried to sell a home are likely familiar with the phrase “curb appeal.” Curb appeal is similar to getting ready for a big date, only you’re not dressing yourself up to make a strong first impression. Instead, improving curb appeal involves dressing your home up in the hopes it makes a strong first impression on prospective buyers, many of whom will have a strong opinion about the property before they even get out of their cars to have a look around. A home with strong curb appeal can entice buyers who are likely to believe that a home with a well-maintained exterior is likely to have an equally impressive interior. Homeowners who want the process of selling their home to go smoothly can improve the property’s curb appeal in a number of ways, many of which don’t necessitate a substantial home improvement budget. * Clean up. The most effective way to improve curb appeal is to clean up the property. Many homeowners are savvy enough to remove toys and other items from the yard before showing a home, but cleaning up goes beyond removing clutter from the property. Make sure all hedges are trimmed and remove weeds, sticks and other debris from any flower

beds. Lay mulch in the flower beds and garden, as mulch prevents weed growth while helping the soil retain moisture, resulting in more attractive gardens to catch a buyer’s eye. * Get an “edge” on other sellers. Edging is another easy and effective way to improve curb appeal. Edge driveways, sidewalks and other walkways around the property, removing or trimming anything that is hanging over the driveway or walkways. If the boundary between your driveway and lawn is not distinct, consider installing edging materials such as stone or bricks. The edging can be level with the driveway or elevated, but keep in mind that elevated driveway edging can protect the lawn, preventing kids from riding their bicycles onto the lawn or cars from driving onto it. Adding edging is not a very difficult do-it-yourself project. * Take to the trees. Many homeowners grow accustomed to overgrown trees around their property and may not notice that low-hanging, unsightly branches are hiding the home from view. Buyers want to see the house, so take to the trees and trim any branches that hang too low or obscure your home. * Clean the gutters. Leaves and sticks hanging from the gutters are a red flag to buyers, who tend to associate clogged gutters with roof damage.

Clean the gutters thoroughly before putting your home up for sale and keep them clean throughout the selling process. If your property includes lots of trees, install guards to keep twigs and leaves out of the gutters. * Make the home accessible through the front door. Many homeowners enter their home through a side door or through their garage. If you fall into this category, keep in mind that prospective buyers will be entering through the front door, so make this area accessible. Clear any clutter, such as overgrown hedges, away from the front door, and consider upgrading the door handle to a more modern feature. In addition, make sure the lock on the front door doesn’t stick, forcing the realtor and buyers to immediately struggle before entering the home. You want buyers and their real estate agents to get in and out of the home as smoothly as possible. * Make sure all plants, including flowers, are living. Dehydrated or dead plants and flowers are eyesores, and they will give buyers the impression that you didn’t pay much attention to your property. Make sure all plants are alive and thriving and replace those that aren’t. You can replant new flowers or plants or just use potted plants instead. When purchasing new plants, choose low-mainte-

Religion of a different brand Cowboy church hopes to rustle up variety of strays By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com What if religion could be as comfortable as a well-worn pair of boots? Pastor Kevin Weatherby says it already is, and one can find it every Sunday morning at 10 a.m. at the Elbert County Fairgrounds where he holds cowboy church. “Cowboy church is really just church without all the fuss,” said Weatherby in his native Texas drawl. “We just do everything in a cowboy fashion.” That cowboy fashion, according to the former oil company inventory man, is one of simplicity and practicality, right down to baptism by immersion in a horse trough. “Oh that trough’s not a prop,” said Weatherby. “That’s the same horse trough I water my own horses in, except I drain it and rinse it before service.” Prior to the 1980s, cowboy churches were few and far between. While it is unclear where the movement began, it is thought to have its roots in outreach ministries serving the professional rodeo circuit. But its no-frills approach appeals to more than just cowboys. Weatherby said the “no barrier” model removes much of the organizational bureaucracy that tends to keep people away from church, including himself. Warm, open and gentlemanly, Weatherby admits if someone would have told him he’d one day be preaching the gospel, he said he would have laughed out loud. “When I met my wife 10 years ago, I had a beer in my hand, a beer in my pocket and

Decorative spurs adorn the conference table in Kevin Weatherby’s office. The Texas native is the founder of Kiowa-based Save the Cowboy, a non-denominational Christian church that removes many of the barriers that keep people at home on Sunday mornings. He says his church embraces a simple approach to religion with a Western flair. Copenhagen tobacco in my cheek,” he said. But it was a small cowboy church in Fort Stockton, Texas, that changed his life. “I remember walking through the doors that Sunday and the first thing I saw was two kids chasing a border collie trying to rope it,” he recalled. “And I remember saying to myself, `Well, if we don’t get struck by lightning in here today, I think I’m gonna like this.’” Weatherby eventually assumed the pastor’s position at the church, but through a series of serendipitous events — as well as his wife’s prayers — the couple made their way to Elbert County. And while he’s quick to point out he’s not a theologian, he does take a shine to being known as a storyteller. “I don’t use a lot of big words,” he said.

“My gift is storytelling and I use that to spread the gospel.” Based in Kiowa, Weatherby’s Save the Cowboy organization is an international ministry with followers as far away as Canada, Australia and Brazil. His Elbert County flock averages more than 200 parishioners each Sunday. The organization is currently looking for assistance in building a “ranch-like” headquarters operation where it can serve veterans and their families with specialized job training and therapy. “We’re filling up the pasture,” he said. “Come as you are, we don’t care if you’re a goat, a sheep, an alpaca or a hog — we’ve got room.” For more information, visit www. savethecowboy.com.

Urban Almanac

Erica McNeish and Laurie Smith are both food lovers and food “profes-

sionals,” having worked as a food stylist and food photographer. The pair has recently announced the launch of “The Urban Almanac” at www.theurbanalmanac.com. The website offers a seasonal online guide that features the bounty of food, drink and artisanal products that come solely from Colorado. “The idea is to bring Coloradans great stories about passionate, local and sometimes unknown purveyors. Through blogging about these artisans, we get to do what we love most: discover what is happening locally, document their stories with photographs, develop recipes with their products, and do what we can to spread the good word,” said Smith. The Urban Almanac includes feature stories and recipes for breakfasts, lunches, desserts and main courses, hot drinks, cold drinks, cocktails and much more all featuring Colorado

products. It provides “foodies” with a unique resource for tracking and tasting local flavors. McNeish has been a food lover her entire life and made a career of it as a freelance food stylist. She has styled 10 cookbooks and her work has been featured in magazines. Smith is a freelance photographer, specializing in the world of food and travel. She has photographed and documented food stories around the globe, and her photos have been published in 35 cookbooks and national food magazines. 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.

space for the community. The gallery will host Final Friday openings and will have ongoing exhibits of various kinds. Across the street next summer, the guild will host its first outdoor festival on the old courthouse lawn, “Court the Arts.” Guild president Ellie Ludvigsen speaks enthusiastically of the community support for the guild. Some businesses have displayed art in the Art Around Town project; the Castle Rock branch of Arapahoe Community College is a new member and there is talk of collaborative projects; there is a relationship with the schools; with music groups and with a group of wedding-oriented businesses. “It’s definitely a small-town project,” she said. A number of members are not artists, but supporters, and the membership total is about 140 and growing weekly. An important part of the business plan is to rent the space for special events such as rehearsal dinners and receptions.

center. She praises the guild’s strong, active board for its energy and hard work and looks forward to expanding class offerings, especially for young artists. She had experience with urban art while work-

ing in New York City, which could work here. A grant for software used in digital art and animation is on the wish list. “We take kids to the Denver Art Museum and Santa Fe Drive First Fridays,” she continued. Ludvigsen is a Colorado native and retired in 1995 to care for her mother. “We had the Castle Rock property since my childhood, but lived east of Aurora,” she said. (Many classes have been offered in the basement of her Castle Rock home while the guild searched for space.) Her father was an artist, and her grandfather and great-grandfather were photographers — an art she pursues now. She worked in city government jobs and consulting with nonprofits, she said (and has retired three times). She joined GCRAG about seven years ago and has been involved in various capacities. “All the pieces have to come together simultaneously,” she says with optimism as the board plans for the center’s opening.

have a book out, signed copies of all her works, posed for photos and joked around with fans for a good 45 minutes. She then launched into an hour-long dialogue on what her journey as a writer has been like. She kept the evening light for the most part, using wit to discuss familial relations - some of which have appeared in guises in her work — and turned it up a notch later when discussing her opinion that female authors get the short end of the literary stick compared to their male counterparts. “There’s a wide spectrum of acceptable literature,” she said.

“There is room for all of us at the table, and there is room for all of us to be treated respectfully.” Weiner, a Princeton alumna, has had an ongoing, national public debate with current Princeton faculty member Jeffrey Eugenides, who told the New York Times he finds mysteries “unreadable” and that female writers who point out the disparity between the way men’s and women’s books are treated are “bellyaching.” “Well, what if you’re a Princeton student who wants to write mysteries?” asked Weiner in an interview last month with Colorado Community Media.

“My hope would be that the faculty would help you be the best mystery writer you can be, instead of sending the message that it’s a genre without merit. “It’s all very disappointing. When I was a student at Princeton, I felt supported and encouraged to be the best writer I could be. I wasn’t made to feel that just because I wrote funny stories about women and their families and their jobs and their shopping habits and their love lives, my work was intrinsically less worthy than what my classmates, whose style was more literary and who were writing about suicide and the Holocaust. I’m not sure I’d feel

Top acts to perform at magic show Parker event will promote bid for foundation, museum By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com One of the town’s largest-ever magic shows will promote an effort to make Parker the home for a foundation dedicated to preserving the ancient art. The 501(c)(3) nonprofit arm of the Society of American Magicians is looking in Parker for a site for its headquarters, which will house a museum, library and performance theater for magicians of all ages. The foundation, in fact, is already based in a portion of the Mainstreet Center in downtown Parker, but the search is on for an existing 10,000- to 20,000-square-foot space to accommodate a world-class magic center, said Dan Rodriguez, the foundation’s president and executive director. Recently, S.A.M. announced that its national council’s semi-annual meeting would be in Denver and be scheduled in conjunction with a magic show that features a lineup of Colorado’s top magicians, along with a few nationally known acts.

decisions have been made and the group is continuing to look for a site, Rodriguez said. Some artifacts and collectibles from the world of magic, including an early magic magazine from the 19th century, are on display at the Mainstreet Center, but many are still packed away in storage. Rodriguez, who also serves as the president of the Parker Chamber of Commerce, says he hopes the center will move into its new home within 12-18 months and become a tourist destination. The upcoming magic show is intended to build excitement and interest around the idea. The 12 acts are traveling to the Denver area for the meeting and will come to Parker to perform for about 10 minutes each. “It’s a rare treat to have that kind of a thing in Parker,” said Rodriguez, who has been practicing magic since elementary school. He performed at schools 300 times per year for 20 years and is among the acts taking the stage March 15. Rodriguez is a specialist in hypnotism and has in the past done a comedy magic show based on golf. Admission is $15 for kids under 18, $20 for adults and $60 for a family pass.

Mara’s mother, Dawn, her eyes bright with barely checked tears, described the closing ceremonies of the school’s Wish Week in a word: “Powerful.” Mara has a condition called severe combined immunity deficiency and a form of dwarfism. When she was born, her chance of survival was just 1 percent. “There have been a lot of positives, and a lot of negatives,” her mother said. Mara is among many children who will benefit from the money Rock Canyon, and other schools in Douglas County, raised during Wish Week. “There are schools that are be-

ing inspired by you,” Beede said. “So many schools come to us and say, `How did Rock Canyon do it?’” The March 1 closing ceremonies capped a week of fundraising that included cosmic bowling, head shaving, sporting events, dinners at restaurants that donated to the cause and a Miracle Minute during which students raised more than $8,400 in a frantic 60 seconds of dumping spare change into buckets. In its first year of fundraising in 2010, Rock Canyon raised $15,300 — an amount more than twice its initial goal. Make-A-Wish said then that the school had set a new record. They hadn’t seen anything yet. Excitement surrounding Wish Week builds each year, making Wish Week “everyone’s favorite,” according to RCHS junior Morgan Harrison, who held Mara to her with easy and obvious affection. “More than Homecoming.”

Castle View knocked out in Sweet 16 ThunderRidge made key basket down the stretch By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com HIGHLANDS RANCH — ThunderRidge’s Brianna Throop was playing with four fouls but never hesitated because she knew her team needed a basket. Throop completed a 3-point play with 1:31 left in the game, the pivotal moment in ThunderRidge’s 52-49 victory over Continental League rival Castle View in a Class 5A Sweet 16 girls playoff game March 5. ThunderRidge, a team that was 4-7 early in the season, improved to 17-8 and advanced to a March 7 Great Eight matchup against Arapahoe (23-2) at the Denver Coliseum. ThunderRidge’s season came to an end there, 54-45. Castle View ended its season with a 1511 record but the Sabercats had chances to extend the campaign. Instead Castle View had to watch Throop excite the crowd in the ThunderRidge gym with a clutch, gameending performance. Castle View’s 5-foot-6 point guard Kylie Minish was brilliant the entire game and her layup tied it at 47. That’s when Throop, a 5-7 senior, drove the lane, cashed in a layup and drew a foul. She completed an old-fashioned 3-point play to push ThunderRidge ahead 50-47 with 1:31 still to play in the game. “At that point, I really didn’t think about getting an offensive foul,” Throop said. “I knew we needed a score. I had to keep that aggressive mentality and attack the

I told our kids,

their best player made a heck of a play down the stretch and that was the difference.” Throop, who has signed to play at Long Beach State, finished with a game-high 19 points, with 17 in the second half. “The first half was a little shaky,” Throop admitted. “I was a little tight. The second half I realized what I needed to do to help my team. I was definitely more aggressive in the second half.” ThunderRidge coach Bill Bradley shuffled Throop on and off the floor in the fourth quarter because of her foul trouble

but she was always in the middle of the action when it counted. “She played really well,” Bradley said. “She was on the attack and she’s really grown up. She’s more than happy to pick our team up and put them on her back and say `let’s go.’ And, you need that out of a point guard.” Castle View, which lost 50-36 to ThunderRidge Feb. 19, had an 11 point lead in the second quarter as the Grizzlies made only 22.7 percent of their field goal attempts in the first half. “They are a much better basketball team,” Braid said of the Sabercats. “Coach Hema has done a great job with those kids. We didn’t shoot particularly well and made some uncharacteristic turnovers. “We are 13-1 in our last 14 games but it’s just about playing one more game. We played Arapahoe in the third game of the year. I’m sure they are a different game and we are a different team.” Arapahoe defeated ThunderRidge 50-38 on Dec. 6 and Throop said, “We just got to keep working and get revenge on Arapahoe.” Minish wound up with 17 points for the Sabercats. “Kylie played well defensively, offensively, handled the ball against pressure and made free throws down the stretch when we had to keep it close,” said Hema. “She was pretty impressive. “We have our starting group back, our sixth and seventh man kind of a deal off the bench so we are certainly excited about next year. But, it’s tough to think about that right now. It would have been nice to make a trip of the Coliseum.”
