County strikes deal for fire helicopter Officials can call for exclusive use By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com It was 2010 when Douglas County first signed an agreement with Castle Rock-based Rampart Helicopter Services, using the company on an asneeded, on-call basis to provide aid in wildland firefighting. On April 9, the county commissioners unanimously approved a new contract that allows the county to shift from a call-when-needed basis to an exclusive-use situation for a minimum of 30 days whenever it sees fit. “Up until today, if the helicopter were in Castle Rock and were available we could call them and use them specifically for wildland firefighting,” said Tim Johnson, Douglas County director of emergency management. “The problem with that contract, though, was that they were not obligated to stay if they had other work and other obligations. “These guys have contracts all over the western United
Castle Rock firefighters train with Rampart Helicopter Services last July at Douglas County High School. Douglas County entered an exclusive contract with the helicopter service this past week for the first time. File photo States on a call-when-needed basis, so they could literally be in Montana doing work for the forest service or a utility company under contract, and a fire could break out in Douglas County and they would be unavailable to us.” By placing Rampart under exclusive use, it gives Douglas County the upper hand, and the service is guaranteed to be on stand-by and ready to go when needed. County Manager Douglas DeBord used his authority to
sign an agreement with Rampart April 1, placing them under exclusive use through May 1, at which point federal resources are available. Those resources remain available through Oct. 1. The problem with relying on federal resources, Johnson explained, is that they are extremely limited, and Colorado is just one of the states that receive money allocated for the Rocky Mountain Region. “If our fires are not high enough on the priority list some of those resources may not be
available to us,” he said. Last year, for instance, with federal money coming into the state already to assist with Waldo Canyon and High Park, a Douglas fire the equivalent of the 2011 Burning Tree blaze might not have drawn federal assistance. And if Rampart was somewhere else under contract, the county may have been left without aerial support. “It’s kind of like an insurance policy,” Johnson said. “With the increased fire danger and increase in intense fires that we’ve seen the last few years, we looked at this and said, `We really need to have something to help us through the periods when we know our federal partners are not available.’ We want to be able to immediately react.” As a bipartisan bill works its way through the state Senate to provide Colorado with its own aerial fleet, Johnson says he is excited about the possibility, but that Douglas County needs to be proactive to make sure it is covered regardless of what happens with the Legislature. “We’ve needed more resources here in Colorado for a long time,” he said. “I think this bill is a good step forward.”
A man who was arrested in 2010 for driving away from a traffic stop with a Douglas County Sheriff’s Office deputy hanging off the side of his vehicle in Castle Rock was sentenced to 108 years in prison. Reese Slade, of Elizabeth, was convicted in January following a jury trial in which he was found guilty of first-degree assault on Deputy Jason Jarrett, attempted first-degree assault of Castle Rock Police Officer Todd Thompson and a charge of menacing on Sheriff’s Deputy Kevin Nichols. He was also convicted of driving under the influence as well as possession of a quarter-pound Slade of methamphetamine and some oxycodone. Slade, who had been convicted for four previous felonies, was sentenced by 18th Judicial Court Judge Richard Caschette as a habitual offender. “This 108-year sentence sends the message that our office will vigorously prosecute anyone who attacks the police, judges, prosecutors and prison guards who work to keep us safe,” said District Attorney George Brauchler. “We will protect those who protect us.” Slade was pulled over on Caprice Drive in Castle Rock on Feb. 5, 2010, following a Slade continues on Page 9
Castle Pines mulls pot ban City drafting prohibition on commercial activities By Rhonda Moore
rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com The City of Castle Pines is drafting an ordinance to prohibit the retail sale and commercial cultivation of marijuana within city limits. The proposed ordinance is scheduled to go before the city’s planning commission April 25 and in front of city council for public comment May 14, according to the City of Castle Pines. Adoption of a ban would make Castle Pines the latest Douglas County municipality to draft regulations against commercial marijuana activities. The only remaining municipality in the county without a ban would be Larkspur. Larkspur has yet to discuss the possibil Pot continues on Page 8

Sign language speaks of community Nadelle Payne, a high school teacher of American Sign Language, can go all day without talking to someone other than her students. She is deaf. “I can pass people in the hall and say `Hi,’” she says through an interpreter. “But not a conversation.” So, on a recent Saturday, she and about 25 other deaf women and men, including high school and college students studying ASL, gathered at a Starbucks in Highlands Ranch to talk. The conversations — lively, graceful, expressive — continued for hours. Fingers moved swiftly. Arms glided, up and down, back and forth. Emotion danced across animated faces. All of it, together, words without sound spinning eloquent stories, woven in a warmth born of shared community. “To immerse ourselves in our own language” is a gift, a reprieve from the isolation that comes with being deaf, Payne says. “Hearing people can talk every day, on the phone … all the time. We talk when we have someone to sign with.” The monthly Starbucks gathering is one of many in the area designed to nurture connection and fellowship among a populace defined by its unique communication and culture. There are deaf social chats at restaurants in Boulder and Castle Rock, silent bowling nights at an alley in Lone Tree, festivals and ASL performances at Rocky Mountain School for the Deaf in Lakewood, an ASL haunted house night during Halloween, a deaf social chat in Superior, a meeting for deaf senior citizens in Denver. “It is like you are going to deaf Mecca where there are all deaf native signers,” says Michelle Stricklen, an ASL instructor at Front Range Community College who is deaf. “It is,” she says in an email, “phenomenal to me.”
Pam Meadows, a Castle Rock resident and California transplant who has been deaf since birth, started the monthly socials at the Highlands Ranch Starbucks about 2½ years ago. “We come here to socialize,” she says through her friend Dawn Davies, a Littleton schools counselor who is not deaf and is interpreting. “But it also helps ASL students so they can experience what deaf people are like.” Davies, who began learning to sign in first grade, attends many of these events to visit with friends. But as a school counselor she also helps introduce first-timers, particularly students, to the group. “I like to help bridge the gap a little bit.” A handful of high school students from Castle Rock and Highlands Ranch are here this day. It is their second visit. They come to practice signing, but they’ve picked up on some other aspects of deaf culture, too. “They’re really close,” Shawna Doughten says. “You can talk across the room,” Makayla Elms says with a smile. “They’re not different,” Paige Luke says. “Other people think they’re handicapped, but they’re not.” The three teens, along with Kayla Hendrickson from Castle Rock, have fallen in love with the language. “It’s just so expressive,” Hendrickson says. “I love how it’s really metaphoric … how you can kind of get creative with it.” “When you’re describing stuff, you’re
supposed to try to create a picture,” Elms says. “You use a lot of motion,” Luke says. The language is actually more straightforward, points out Jazelle Edwards, 9, here with her mother, who is deaf. She is not, though. “You don’t have to say the little words,” such as “and” and “the.” “Sign language is so much fun to talk,” says Clay Amos, who with his fiancee Ivy Oswald recently moved from Pennsylvania. They’ve come to meet new people. Although both are deaf, Amos can lip read and speak; Oswald has a cochlear implant, which allows her to hear, and she can speak. “It’s feelings,” Amos says about signing. “It makes you laugh.” “It is,” Oswald says with a smile, “theatrical.” And just like a spoken language, it has tones and accents, the students say. “People have tones with their voice,” Hendrickson says. “You kind of have a tone of your sign. Everyone signs differently.” George Veditz, former president of the National Association of the Deaf, said this about sign language in 1913: “It is my hope that we will all love and guard our beautiful sign language as the noblest gift God has given to deaf people.” And it is beautiful. To watch people sign is to watch stories unfold like the lyrical melody of a song. You can sense the happiness, the sadness, the excitement, the disappointment — even when you don’t know what the signs mean. But that inability to understand often creates discomfort among those who can’t communicate back, similar to being in a country whose language is not your own. “Many people are intimidated by us,” Payne acknowledges. “It takes a lot of effort for hearing people to communicate” with those who can’t hear. Stricklen tells the story of asking a flight attendant for a menu and being given one

in Braille. “I told her, `No, I just need regular.’ Am I blind?” At the other end of the spectrum, Payne says, “we are afraid we will be misunderstood.” The key, as with anyone who doesn’t know your language, is to try. “We like having friends,” Payne says. “We like it when people make an effort to try and communicate.” On this day, around the tables in the coffee shop, the barriers are down. Two women stand by the door, lost in conversation, eyes focused on each other’s signs. Next to them, Makayla Elms and Paige Luke are signing with little Jazelle and her older brother. Nearby, Payne, Davies and Meadows are in deep conversation with a group clustered in chairs. And at the tall table across the way is Oswald, hands moving, fingers working, animated as she and Amos sign with new friends. A peacefulness of sorts quietly connects them all. They are, in a sense, home. Watch, and listen carefully. The silence speaks loudly.

County cleans up at economic awards Growth, innovation lead to honors By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Douglas County continues to make noise on the economic front, pulling in three top awards at the Economic Development Council of Colorado annual awards banquet. County Commissioner Jill Repella was named volunteer of the year; Amy Sherman, president of the Northwest Douglas County Economic Development Corporation, took home rookie of the year honors; and Arapahoe/Douglas Works! picked up the partner of the year award for its innovative work. The volunteer award that Repella picked up April 4 in Colorado Springs is the only award that an elected official is eligible for. “Jill has a very pro-business attitude,” said John Cody, EDCC chairman. “She was recognized specifically for her role in economic development, as well as her fundamental belief in the role of government to facilitate and foster a fertile business environment and her contribution to the passage of the Colorado Jobs Act last year.”
Repella said the real award to her was people getting back to work in Douglas County. “Six thousand, three hundred new jobs were brought into Douglas County’s jurisdiction in the past year and about 3,500 Repella of those were brand new jobs,” she said. “From my perspective that’s 3,500 families that were able to provide for themselves … I only hope that trend continues.” Sherman, who founded the NDCEDC in November 2011, was honored for Sherman bringing in 25 new investors in the organization’s first year, including Douglas County, Sterling Ranch, Wind Crest, The Highlands Ranch Community Association, IREA, First Bank and numerous other heavyweights from the region. “Northwest Douglas County is primed for some really great future development,” Sherman said. “This is really a big piece of it, and with Sterling Ranch in our future and Highlands

We bring people together to make sure there is a good match.’ Joe Barela, workforce center regional director Ranch being a great, established suburban community creating more jobs all the time, we have some great focus on us right now that is needed.” Sherman also serves on the board of directors for the Roxborough Business Association and on the nearby Lamb Spring Archaeological Preserve. “To somewhat change professions and start a brand-new organization while contributing significantly toward economic development efforts, representing not only her region, we thought Amy was well-deserving of the award,” Cody said. Cody said the Arapahoe/Douglas Works! award was really reflective of years of exemplary work in connecting a skilled workforce with employers and more. “They’ve done some cutting-edge things
to help make the Colorado economy successful,” he said. This past year, ADW helped the Denver South Economic Development Partnership with site selection data that resulted in location and expansion of Arrow Electronics, Redwood Trust and Charles Schwab. They also helped with staffing for Connextions, TriZetto, Blockbuster, Kaiser Permanente and Gordon Composites, to name a few. “I think it is an affirmation of the work my staff does in realizing both the supply side and the demand side of the economy,” said Joe Barela, regional director for ADW. “In this environment, the worst thing you can do is not to be connected. We bring people together to make sure there is a good match.”
Man pleads guilty to federal charge in housing scheme Family members face decades behind bars Staff report A Castle Rock man faces up to 30 years in prison for his participation in a scheme to defraud homeowners. Alois Craig Weingart, 59, pleaded guilty to one count of making a false statement to a bank April 8 before Chief U.S. District Court Judge Marcia S. Krieger. Weingart is scheduled to be sentenced July 8, the U.S. Attorney’s office said in a statement. He was indicted in August 2011 along
with co-defendants Waunita Weingart and John Gallegos. Waunita Weingart pleaded guilty to two counts of wire fraud March 13 and is scheduled to be sentenced June 17. Gallegos pleaded guilty to one count of making a false statement to a bank and is scheduled to be sentenced May 6. According to the stipulated facts in the indictment and plea agreements, beginning in 1999 and continuing through 2008, the Weingarts and Gallegos devised a scheme to defraud lenders that funded residential mortgage loans. Craig and Waunita Weingart are husband and wife.
Waunita Weingart was an experienced mortgage broker, settlement agent, and licensed title insurance producer. Gallegos, her son, worked for her. According to court documents, the defendants repeatedly obtained mortgage loans for properties located in Castle Rock, Boulder and Seattle, pledging the same properties again and again as collateral to each successive lender without paying off the prior loans. For each new loan, the defendants made it appear as though the lender would obtain a first priority security interest in the property, while in fact knowing that the lender would not, the court documents say.
Waunita Weingart and Gallegos also were accused of using false Social Security numbers on some loan applications. “The defendants in this case thought they could outsmart the financial system,” said U.S. Attorney John Walsh. “Schemes such as this ultimately hurt our economy as well as those who applies for a mortgage.” Craig Weingart and Gallegos face no more than 30 years in prison, and up to a $1 million fine for making a false statement to a bank and wire fraud. Waunita Weingart faces no more than 20 years in prison, and up to a $250,000 fine per count for two counts of wire fraud.

Hikes explore wonders of Sanctuary Event scheduled at exclusive golf course
sanctuary hikes 9 a.m. — Entire course — 7 miles, self-guided only 10 a.m. — 9 holes only — 3.5 miles, guided and selfguided hikes 11 a.m. — 4-hole loop — 2 miles, guided and selfguided hikes
By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com The public is invited to explore one of the most pristine expanses of land in Douglas County. The Sanctuary golf course, an exclusive 18-hole course abutting Daniels Park northwest of Castle Rock, is hosting its second public hiking day April 27. Two hundred lucky residents will have the chance to take both guided and self-guided hikes along the undulating trails that weave through the Sanctuary, which is consistently ranked among the top 100 private golf courses in the nation by Golf Digest. The hike is being put on by The Wildlife Experience, a conservation-focused museum founded by Dave Liniger, who built the Sanctuary. He also started real estate giant RE/MAX with his wife, Gail. The Linigers are the only members of the course and play is through invitation only. The Wildlife Experience tweaked its mission two years ago by adding an outdoor education component. “We’ve started to expand on the mission to include outdoor adventures like fishing, hiking, GPS scavenger hunts,” said Dan Zimmerer, education manager at the mu-
A group heads out during last year’s hike at the exclusive Sanctuary golf course outside of Castle Rock. Another set of hikes, put on by The Wildlife Experience, is scheduled for April 27. Courtesy photo seum. “The thought is, if we’re encouraging people to get outside and hike and camp and do archery and fishing, they will want to protect the wildlife and their habitat.” Zimmerer described the hike as a unique opportunity to explore a scenic property that is normally closed to the public. The 100 people who participated in the inaugural hike last October were greeted by cloudy skies and cold temperatures, so organizers are hoping for better weather this time
Plan for fire aircraft clears first committee $25 million price tag not easy to swallow By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A bill that could lead to the creation of an aerial firefighting fleet in Colorado has cleared its first legislative hurdle. The Colorado Firefighting Air Corps would form under state Senate Bill 245, a bold undertaking that carries with it a price tag of about $25 million. The bill’s sponsors say the fleet is needed in an effort to combat wildfires that continue to wreak havoc across the state. Last year alone, six lives were lost and more than 600 homes were destroyed during a particularly devastating fire season. The bill passed the Senate’s Agriculture, Natural Resources and Energy Committee on April 11 with unanimous support. But it will be up to the Appropriations Committee to determine funding. Alex Schatz, a Legislative Council staffer, pulled no punches about the cost of the bill when he testified before the committee. “The fiscal note is a piece of work,” Schatz said. “It’s a big fiscal note.” The bill’s cost takes into account the purchase and associated costs of firefighting aircraft, such as large air tankers, singleengine air tankers, tactical planes and helicopters. Some of the costs could be mitigated through federal reimbursement and grants.
The bill’s sponsors — Sen. Cheri Jahn, DWheat Ridge, and Sen. Steve King, R-Grand Junction — also said the fleet could lead to new economic opportunities in the state. Jahn acknowledged to committee members that the bill’s cost “may make your eyes pop out,” but that it’s worth it. She said that “it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when” Colorado is hit with another devastating wildfire season. “This could very well be a more significant season for fire than last year,” Jahn said. King told the committee that the federal government cannot be counted on to come to the aid of every state that is ablaze during wildfire season. He told members that there are only nine federal air tankers available to service “a very water-starved United States.” Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, agreed with King, saying the lack of federal resources “have left us with no other alternative” than for the state to put in place its own fleet. The bill passed the Democratic-controlled committee following a 5-0 vote. Jahn told Colorado Community Media after the hearing that she’s has had conversations with members of the Appropriations Committee and she feels good about the bill’s funding chances. “I don’t know if we’ll get all of it,” Jahn said. “But there’s enough interest to begin an honest discussion, and to look for pockets of money to get this started.”
around. Those walking or jogging the entire course are warned to prepare for the 7-mile distance and steep hills, as the highest point reaches more than 7,000 feet in elevation. Shorter hikes are available, and participants can choose to walk the paths on their own. However, Zimmerer recommends having a knowledgeable guide to describe the abundant flora, including lush flower gardens and native vegetation, and
fauna, including elk and bear. When creating the course, the Linigers went to great lengths to ensure as little disruption to the ecosystem as possible, Zimmerer said. Wildlife migration corridors were left intact and the Douglas County open space division has a conservation easement. “They wanted to create something that enhances the natural environment,” he said. Slots are expected to fill up quickly and participants must pre-register for the hike. The cost is only $5 for museum members and $7 for non-members. Another hiking event is tentatively planned for October. The Sanctuary hosts an average of 30 events each summer for nonprofit agencies to have fundraising tournaments. As of last fall, use of the course helped generate more than $68 million for charity since opening in 1997.

ACLU nudges voucher case forward Two groups petition Colorado Supreme Court to overturn appeals ruling By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com The American Civil Liberties Union took the next step in the process of moving the Douglas County school voucher case to the Colorado Supreme Court on April 11. The ACLU and Americans United for Separation of Church and State filed a petition asking the court to accept the case. It also asked the court to overturn the recent Colorado Court of Appeals ruling upholding the Douglas County School District’s pilot program. The lower court ruled in a split decision Feb. 28 that the district’s Choice Scholarship Program is constitutional, and said the plaintiffs lacked standing to file a suit alleging otherwise. Americans United attorney Alex Luchenitser said the appeals court’s ruling isn’t as significant as that of the Denver District Court in August 2011, which declared the program unconstitutional. “The Supreme Court was going to have the final word on this, no matter how the
‘We know that each student learns differently, and our goal is to provide every parent with the opportunity to choose the best possible educational environment for their child.’ John Carson, school board president Court of Appeals ruled, so the Court of Appeals ruling really isn’t that important,” he said. “The Supreme Court doesn’t have to give any deference to anything the Court of Appeals did. It does have to give deference to the factual findings of the trial court. So we were disappointed (by the Court of Appeals ruling), but we’re not sure how much difference it’s going to make.” The pilot program initiated in March 2011 granted a limited number of Douglas County students state school funding to use at private schools, most of which were religious. Proponents say it broadens educational options for students, but opponents say it blurs the line that separates church and state and pulls funding from traditional schools. Though the program has been suspend-
ed since the 2011 ruling, the DCSD school board remains confident they ultimately will prevail. “The ruling (from the Colorado Court of Appeals) was a huge victory for the students and parents of Douglas County and we are confident that the court will once again reject the arguments made by the ACLU,” board president John Carson wrote in an emailed statement. “We know that each student learns differently, and our goal is to provide every parent with the opportunity to choose the best possible educational environment for their child. The Choice Scholarship Program will give our students one more choice to achieve educational success and to prepare for the exciting opportunities that lie ahead in (the) 21st century.”
Carson recently said he was encouraged by the Indiana Supreme Court’s decision to uphold a similar program there, but attorneys for the plaintiffs say there are important differences between the two cases. “First of all, Colorado’s constitutional provisions are much stricter than Indiana’s in terms of prohibiting public funding of religious schools,” Luchenitser said. “There also are factual differences between these two programs.” The Indiana program included both religious and non-religious schools, but in Douglas County’s version, options for high school students — except for those with special needs — are limited to religious schools. “This program favors religious schooling over non-religious,” Luchenitser said, “and gives parents incentives to enroll their children in religious schools.” Attorneys representing Douglas County families who originally received vouchers says the program’s design keeps schools and government separate, ensuring its constitutionality. A separate suit against DCSD and the Colorado Department of Education was filed by the nonprofit Taxpayers for Public Education; the trial court consolidated the two.
Bill to change rules for oil-gas commission advances Two House Democrats, all Republicans oppose plan By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A Democratic-sponsored bill that would shift the Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission toward a more environmentally friendly body passed the House on April 9, with no support from Republicans. An amended version of House Bill 1269 requires COGCC board members to dis-
close any financial ties they may have to the oil and gas industry. There also would be stricter rules regarding recusal, if it is deemed that the member has a conflict of interest. The bill also Report changes the board’s mission. The GOGCC now has a dual role aimed at encouraging oil and gas production, while at the same time protecting the environ-
Capitol
ment. But under the bill, the duality would be tilted toward public safety and the environment. But Republicans argue that the bill would result in wasted minerals and would dictate to owners of mineral rights what they can and can’t do with their property. “We have in this state the strictest oil and gas rules in the nation,” said Rep. Amy Stephens, R-Monument. “This is really more about a group of people coming in and telling you what to do with your mineral rights.” Rep. Ray Scott, R-Grand Junction,
warned that “there will be blowback” if this bill becomes law and that the legislation is a reaction to a “hysterical” fringe. But Democrats say the changes the bill proposes do not spell doom for the highly profitable oil and gas industry. “I don’t think the sky is going to fall over this bill,” said Rep. Pete Lee, D-Colorado Springs. The bill now heads to the Senate. It’s unknown at this time whether Gov. John Hickenlooper — a pro-fracking Democrat — will sign or veto the legislation, if it gets to him.

Former mayor throws self into cancer fight Pot Nonprofit launched after deaths of mother, brother By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Maureen Shul was riding high as the first mayor of Castle Pines when her life came crashing down. It wasn’t a political scandal that forever altered her career path and, ultimately, the course of her life. It was the consecutive losses of two of her staunchest supporters: her brother and mother. And their deaths were attributed to the same illness. Shul admits that she didn’t even know what a pancreas was, let alone her unfamiliarity with the aggressive nature of the cancer that infiltrates the internal organ. Her family does not have a history of cancer, and there were no warning signs before her brother, Victor, was diagnosed in 2005. His was something of a rare story; he battled for four years before passing away in 2009. Others are taken suddenly, as was the case with Shul’s mother, who sur-
vived only three months after her August 2009 diagnosis. “The losses were so profound and so great, I had to steady myself and learn how to keep going,” she said. Shul coped, in part, by joining national efforts to raise money for pancreatic cancer research. Then she learned that intensive research was occurring in the Denver area, and immediately shifted her focus. She created Wings of Hope for Pancreatic Cancer Research, her own nonprofit foundation, and in February partnered with those Denver researchers. Doctors and scientists at the University of Colorado Cancer Center at the Anschutz Medical Campus are engaged in multipronged studies to try and determine the cause of pancreatic cancer, the most effective treatment methods and ways to detect it much earlier. The first fundraiser for Wings of Hope, scheduled for April 25 at The Wildlife Experience, is nearly sold out, reflecting the high number of people in Douglas County with a great interest in stopping the disease’s advance. The best part is that Shul and the nonprofit’s board of directors will have direct discussion with researchers
to determine the best use of the funds that are raised. “Of all of the things I’ve ever been involved with, nothing has been more meaningful or significant as starting this foundation,” Shul said. The charity event will not only highlight advances in research and raise awareness, it will feature Shul’s brother, Brian, a bestselling author and former SR-71 pilot, as the keynote speaker. Brian Shul will relate his harrowing story of survival after being shot down over Vietnam. His family received notification that he died, and it wasn’t until 48 hours later that they learned he was alive. When asked what her brother and mother would think about her actions in the wake of their untimely deaths, Shul says she hopes they would be proud. “We’re making a contribution in a way that is honoring them as well as helping me get through all of this,” she said. “I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing. I couldn’t just walk away from it.” For more information or tickets to the Wings of Hope for Pancreatic Cancer Research event April 25 at The Wildlife Experience, visit www.wingsofhopepcr.org or call 720-733-0491.

sheriff’s report Undersheriff investigated
Douglas County deputies responded to a call of a reported dispute at the Highlands Ranch home of Undersheriff Tony Spurlock on April 10. The call, according to a news release by the sheriff’s office, was made by a passerby. Deputies conducted a criminal investigation and found no evidence of criminal conduct. “The undersheriff has cooperated fully with the investigation,” said Sgt. Ron Hanavan, spokesman for the department. “All of the initial indicators are that no misconduct has occurred and therefore he is not on administrative leave.” Sheriff David Weaver contacted the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office April 11 and requested an independent investigation. Mark Techmeyer, JCSO public information officer, confirmed there was a routine Internal Affairs investigation underway, but would not release details of any of the potential charges that were being investigated. Spurlock, who chaired the state’s Domestic Violence Offender Treatment Board under Gov. Bill Owens in 2001, is running for sheriff in Douglas County in 2014.

traffic report of a DUI. When ordered to exit his vehicle by Jarrett, he refused and drove off with the deputy hanging from his car. After crashing the vehicle into a trailer and a fence — pinning Jarrett between the car and trailer — Slade drove toward Nichols, who used his handgun to fire at the man. According to Undersheriff Tony Spurlock, Slade suffered a minor gunshot wound to the head, and both he and Jar-

Tools stolen from home
A resident in the 10100 block of Jill Avenue in Highlands Ranch discovered $525 worth of tools missing from his garage on April 3. Among the missing tools were three drills, a saw, a car buffer, shrub trimmers, a pressure washer and a tool box that had assorted tools inside. No suspicious activity had been reported or noticed by any of his neighbors and the resident was unsure exactly when the tools were taken.
Vehicles broken into at hotel
Two vehicles were broken into the early morning hours April 2 at the Residence Inn on West Centennial Boulevard in Highlands Ranch. A woman staying at the hotel witnessed a man smashing the window of a parked truck in the lot and stealing what the owner later confirmed to be a bag of tools from the cab. The other vehicle, which also had a smashed window, had more than $4,000 worth of items stolen out of it, including a camcorder and camera.
rett were treated and released after the incident. “This outcome is a testament to the solid working relationship between all the law enforcement agencies in Douglas County and the district attorney’s office,” said Sheriff David A. Weaver. “Together we achieved justice for the injured officers and the citizens of Douglas County.” The case against Slade was investigated by Castle Rock Police, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, the Colorado State Patrol, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the 18th Judicial District critical response team.

opinions / yours and ours
Even a growth industry must have borders The work of both a task force and a committee is done, and now the business of drawing up rules to implement Amendment 64 is in the hands of the Colorado General Assembly. With less than a month left in the 2013 session, the Legislature will need to hustle on the matter of recreational marijuana. As lawmakers debate the merits of the recommendations they’ve been handed, one issue that will come up is how to deal with pot tourism. Already, a company promising cannabis-related vacations has sprouted in Denver, with April 20 — also known endearingly by many marijuanasmokers as “4/20” — being its first big push. It seems unlikely the Legislature would
our view altogether ban out-of-state folks from purchasing pot. Doing so would be against the advice of the Amendment 64 Task Force and would cost the state a potentially large source of revenue. But there could be limits imposed, perhaps below the threshold of those facing residents, on how much marijuana visitors could legally procure. And, certainly, the law would require them to smoke or otherwise partake here in the Centennial State.
question of the week
How would you grade the Legislature? As the 2013 session nears an end, we asked people at several south-metro area
“I don’t really keep up with politics all that much, but overall I’d give them an F with the exception of one area, and that’s the medical marijuana issue. In that case, I’d give them an A.” — Duaine Miller, Aurora “I give them a solid B. So far, so good. I don’t follow politics all that much, but I think people in other states probably have it worse. Seems everybody here is pretty content, and that makes me happy.” — Brandon Alder, Centennial
locations what overall grade they would give to the Colorado Legislature and why.
Amid myriad gray areas, at least one thing is black and white: What’s smoked in Colorado must stay in Colorado. We’re not endorsing use of marijuana in any way, but if you choose to use, remember that you are breaking the law if you take it outside state lines. Kansas, for one, has been a nervous neighbor since Amendment 64’s passage in November. Last month, Kansas’ appeals court ruled it is illegal to possess pot even if it was legally purchased in another state. (For that matter, possession is still in violation of federal law, but that’s a larger matter for another day.) Earlier this month, a Colorado woman was arrested in Salina, Kan., on charges of marijuana possession. She had nearly 4
pounds of pot, police say. While that amount would have been against the law even in Colorado — where residents may legally possess up to 1 ounce for recreational purposes or up to 2 ounces for medicinal reasons — it does shine a light on a problem. A commander with a Kansas drug task force told reporters Colorado pot is increasingly becoming a concern in his state. Like it or not, Colorado may be well on its way to becoming known as a destination spot for pot enthusiasts. But developing a reputation among neighboring states as a source of contraband is unacceptable. Our state’s legislators, law enforcement agencies and residents should work to nip this problem in the bud.
Both political parties can agree on energy efficiency
With all the partisanship in Washington, D.C., it’s hard to feel optimistic that Democrats and Republicans will be able to come together on much. There is, however, a bright spot when it comes to the issue of energy efficiency, and I believe that progress can be made on both sides of the aisle. The United States is the second largest energy consumer in the world (China is the first), and our demand only continues to grow. While more production is one way to “I would give them a B-minus. meet this demand, we must also look at the consumption side and ask ourselves this: They seem to be doing a good Are we being as efficient as possible? job of pushing buttons on all Energy efficiency is not a headline grabthe hot topics.

letter to the editor
That’s my story, and I’m a stick in the mud My therapist and I have been talking about dancing. Just not with each other. We’re trying to figure out why I have no interest in dancing or dance. I won’t do “The Loco-Motion” or “The Mashed Potato.” I don’t watch dancing, either. Ballet, ballroom, belly, pole, line, none of it. Torture would be watching “Dancing with the Stars.” Extreme torture would be watching “Lord of the Dance.” I don’t even like the Soupy Shuffle. A friend of mine sent me a YouTube of some fellow who had spliced together snippets of him doing the same appalling jig in locations around the world. She wasn’t happy when I said it was absolutely dreadful So far, all my therapist and I have been able to come up with is that I may have had a profoundly adverse reaction to glimpsing Arthur Murray when I was a boy. He always had a disturbing smile on his face, like a carousel horse. I don’t imagine there is anyone else anywhere who feels the same way about dancing as I do. I prefer to be largely inert. Keep the foxtrot away from me. No Native American dances, please. Hulas? No, no, no. Even the Ice Capades gives me the willies. Everyone else either loves to dance, watch dancing, or both. I don’t know what happened with me. My guess is that Boo Radley didn’t dance either, and that’s how I saw myself when I was in high school and college. That perception has changed, but I am still very reclusive, and I think I always will be. My drinking years didn’t loosen me up either. Well. They loosened me up to other things, but not moving and grooving. I don’t listen to dance music. Maybe
that’s a part of it. I listen to Beethoven and Mozart. There may have been some dancing going on in “Amadeus.” I can’t remember. But dancing to Sinfonia Concertante would never cross my mind. Painting to it would. Perhaps painting is how I dance. The canvas is my partner? Maybe that’s a stretch and maybe not. I have done a lot of painting demonstrations, and they’re about as publicly overt as I get. I might feel very differently if I were musical. I am not. Or if I had been encouraged at an early age to dance around the house or around the school. I wasn’t. I have no regrets. I admire Fred and Ginger and Baryshnikov, but if I had to choose between being a very good painter and being a very good dancer, it would be a very good painter. My dancing abstinence has not made me very attractive to many people (women!), so when I find one (I have) for whom it is A-OK, I value them. I am sure that most — or all — modern dance performances are choreographed, but the few I have seen pieces of look improvised. That would be the end of me. I was roped into seeing one some years ago, and my friend spent most of her segment, backlighted, under a lavender, translucent gauzy tent, so all I could see was her silhouette, kind of flailing around for 15 Smith continues on Page 11
thanks to weaver for stand on guns
I would like to thank Douglas County Sheriff David Weaver for his recent open letter opposing the current anti-gun legislative atmosphere in Colorado. Thanks, Sheriff Weaver, for taking a stand against the enveloping tyrannical police state which is infecting our country and state right now. The U.S. Senate is now trying to implement required gun registration for all future gun sales. We know that previous gun sales in which background checks have been performed have had the data mined by the feds and stored in a database for future use against law-abiding citizens. This is a legitimate concern for all that our government is moving to undermine our Constitution. This new legislation simply provides

the justification for future confiscation of so-called “assault weapons.” Make no mistake, this is all about registering and then confiscating weapons from veterans first and then non-veterans in turn to make sure that the slaves are obedient to the New World Order. Wake up America, this is the end game of the enslavement of our country. Freedom is waning and if we the people don’t wake up to the enveloping tyranny we will be enslaved and everything we hold dear like property and religious freedom are in the cross hairs of the banker-backed NWO minions!

One of the ways we propose to do this is by better utilizing Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) and Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESCs). These contracts allow a private company to perform energy upgrades on federal buildings. The private company assumes all the costs and risks associated with the upgrade, and the federal government shares the monetary savings with them once the project is complete. It is estimated a typical $10 million ESPC creates 100 well-paying privatesector jobs, and federal buildings benefit from more energy-efficient makeovers.

Unfortunately (and not surprisingly), the federal government has been slow to take advantage of these energy saving contracts. In 2011, President Obama urged federal department and agency heads to enter into significantly more contracts by the end of 2013. This is where members of Congress can come together and help move the process along. Our Energy Savings Performance Caucus has already made strides in getting executive branch departments to evaluate their own facilities and identify potential savings through ESPCs and performance contracts that promote energy efficiency at the federal, state, and local level. Yet, more needs to be done and the time to act is now. It is time to show the American people that Congress can work together on something, and I believe there is a real opportunity to use energy efficiency as a positive step forward.

A few thoughts on lawn aerification (core cultivation) from now through the fall. If lawns aren’t being regularly watered (as is the case in many communities), the lawns will likely be so hard that aerification will not be terribly effective. That is, plugs will not likely be pulled from such hard lawns without the benefit of a good soaking rain or a couple of days of intensive irrigation. Lawns that are stressed due to some of the more extreme watering restrictions will not likely benefit from fall aerification (or earlier “beat the fall rush” aerification being promoted by some companies right now). These stressed lawns may actually suffer additional stress (traffic stress from the equipment, increased drying because of open holes). Aerification holes will promote drying
of the soil if they do not heal over quickly. On actively growing, regularly watered lawns the holes heal quickly. On stressed, infrequently irrigated lawns the holes will stay open longer and thus promote drying of the soil — something we don’t need at this point. Plus, drought stressed and (especially) non irrigated lawns will not produce much in the way of new roots this fall — even if they are aerified. In fact, they may produce more roots if left undisturbed (not aerified) than if they are aerified. Those lawns that are being watered enough to get good penetration/plug pulling would probably benefit because they are growing “normally” (new roots will form, holes will heal over). So, lawns that do not appear to be under stress and are irrigated regularly enough to allow effective pulling of cores can benefit from fall aerification. Where watering restrictions have resulted in stressed lawns and hard soil, aerification may not be effective and may actually cause more harm than good.

How to keep your land pest-free By StatePoint
Spending time outdoors can recharge the soul and bring the family together. In your own backyard you can fi nd beauty, enjoyment and a place to connect with nature — so long as you make sure to maintain all those beautiful trees and plants. Whether you have a garden, woodlands or natural landscaping on your property, you’ll want to keep your land healthy and free of unwanted pests. And experts say that woodlands need special attention. “Although trees look strong, woodland ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to natural and man-made dangers that can gradually reduce the health and beauty of your woods,” says Mike Burns, forester and program resource manager with the American Forest Foundation. A U.S. Forest Service assessment released last December predicts that as many as 34 million acres of forest land could be lost in the United States during the next uick-50 years, and that all regions in the Unittereded States will experience increased stress ssed,from natural disasters and pest infestawilltions. ying Luckily, there are steps landowners can ed attake to help keep trees and woodlands safe d (es-from pests: pro- • Keep an eye out for changes.

area. Contact your state forestry agency or state department of natural resources to find out what’s bugging your area. • Monitor for pests and signs of disease every month or two. Check trees on the trunk, limbs, twigs, under peeling bark and leaves — the most likely places to find injuries. Keep your eye open for things that look out of the ordinary. • Online resources can help you become a better steward of your land. If you own some woodlands, consider signing up for the My Land Plan resource, launched by the American Forest Foundation. My Land Plan can help you connect with upto-date information about pest threats, map your land’s boundaries and record changes over time, all at www.MyLandPlan.org. You can explore the website’s newly expanded invasive pest and pathogen section and locate professional services available for your needs. • If you suspect an outbreak, collect samples of tree damage and any associated pests to accurately identify the problem, which may have more than one cause. Take pictures and notes on your trees’ symptoms. Often pictures are enough for an expert to identify the problem and help you figure out what to do next. Next steps can be identified by your state forestry agency or department of natural resources. • If you discover an insect that you suspect might be a danger to your trees, seal it in a container and store it in the freezer until you can deliver it to a proper authority.

Sponsor predicts reduction in uninsured motorists vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Colorado residents who are in the country illegally may soon be able to obtain driver’s licenses, after a bill proposing such a measure passed a state legislative committee on April 10. State Senate Bill 251 would allow immigrants to apply for state-issued IDs that are only meant to be used for driving purposes. Democratic Sen. Jessie Ulibarri of Commerce City, the bill’s sponsor, said during an April 10 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that the measure would result in a reduction of unlicensed and uninsured motorists in Colorado. Ulibarri said immigrants are driving anyway, and that it’s in everyone’s benefit that they are doing so lawfully and are carrying proper insurance. “At some point we must recognize that our (immigrant) neighbors are

Prosecutors on April 11 dropped a charge levied against filmmaker Brian Malone for alleged disruption of an August 2012 Douglas County School Board meeting. Douglas County prosecutors dropped the charges before the court could rule on a motion to dismiss the case. The dismissal request was filed by American Civil Liberties Union attorneys earlier in the week, according to a press release from the ACLU. “This decision reinforces that access to public meetings for the media and general public is a fundamental right that should never be criminalized,” said ACLU of Colorado Legal Director Mark Silverstein. DCSD spokeswoman Cinamon Watson issued an emailed statement. “We count transparency as one of our highest priorities and have taken significant steps to engage the community in the district,” it read. “Guidelines for camera equipment are in place to avoid disruptions, prevent obstructed views for citizens wishing to attend board meetings, and to maintain safety and security for all those in attendance.” The ACLU agreed to represent Malone after the Aug. 7, 2012, meeting during which the filmmaker stepped

Esmeralda Dominguez of Denver testified that she is a U.S. citizen, but that her husband is not. She said they have a son who must attend several medical appointments a week, and that she is the only one who can take him because her husband cannot legally drive. “This issue has nothing to do with ... immigration issues,” she said. “(My husband) qualifies for (legal status), but that’s taking a long time. This is affecting my family. It is an everyday issue we’re dealing with.” No one testified in opposition to the bill, which passed the Democraticcontrolled committee on a 3-2 partyline vote. The bill now heads to the full Senate for a vote.

here,” Ulibarri said. “We see them every day in the grocery store. We see them in our local communities, at church or passing by at school. To have a system that ignores their presence means we have a policy that really discourages honesty, and it’s at the expense of public safety.” The bill would require immigrants to show certain types of legal documentation whenever they seek a driver’s license, such as an ID from their country of origin and proof that they have filed state income taxes. That’s in addition to standard driving tests. Those who obtain these “separate category” types of licenses would not be able to use them to board airplanes or to register to vote. Ulibarri cited statistics from neighboring states that have similar laws, including Utah and New Mexico, where he said the numbers of uninsured drivers have dropped significantly over the years. Denver Police Sgt. Michael Farr testified that the bill would help law

Centennial resident Ann Stong flips through the well-worn pages of a 19th-century family Bible that she never knew existed. Hundreds of miles away, a total stranger spotted it on the auction block and tracked her down. Stong and her family drove to Arizona to bid on the piece that would eventually reconnect her with multiple generations of her family history. Photos by Deborah Grigsby

“one family’s BiBle story”
dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews. com When Ann Stong received an email from Mary Marsh last September, she almost deleted it. “I usually don’t open emails from strangers, but this one was different,” she said. “I had to open it.” More than 1,500 miles away, Arizona resident Mary Marsh had stopped by a local antique mall in hopes of finding a barrister’s case for her husband. “I saw this Bible and thought, `Wow, what a find for someone,’” said Marsh from her home near Scottsdale, Ariz. Printed in Philadelphia in 1864, the Bible’s worn calf leather cover and ornate brass lock held the key to many missing pieces in someone’s life, thought Marsh. “That afternoon, I just couldn’t get that book out of my head — in fact, I dreamed about it that night,” she said. “I didn’t dream about all the bookcases I had seen, I dreamed about the Bible.” Compelled to find the owner, Marsh spent hours entering some of the names she had seen in the Bible into several online search engines. “It was like there were angels on my shoulder telling me I had to do this,” she said. Marsh eventually connected some of the names with Stong, a Centennial resident. “So, I sent her an email with

Nearly 150 years old, Ann Stong’s family Bible was rescued from an Arizona auction block by a total stranger. Even with its weathered leather cover, the book’s pages are still in good condition, with legible hand-written entries, along with historic tintype photos of her ancestors. a link to the item and to the auction information,” she said. Stong, an avid amateur genealogist whose family often teases her abut spending more time with her dead relatives than she does with those still living, was delighted. “I emailed her right back,” said Stong. “When I saw her photos of the Bible and inscriptions, I immediately recognized the names and the handwriting from documents I have in my own collection.” The two exchanged several emails and Stong decided she would make the 1,500-mile trip to Avondale, Ariz. to attend the auction. Marsh was stunned. “I thought, `Oh my, gosh, I

better be right,” she said. The morning of the auction came. Bidding for the Bible began at $30. Another bidder offered $40. “My heart just stopped,” said Stong. “I had no idea what I’d do if I couldn’t have that Bible.” Stong’s daughter countered with $50. The auctioneer stopped the auction, pointed to Stong and exclaimed, “Sold!” Before a stunned audience, the auctioneer offered an explanation, telling Stong’s story. But there was one more twist. The auction house offered to pay the consignment and give Stong the Bible as a gift.
The crowd erupted in joy and Stong was overcome with emotion. “I cried,” said Stong. “I was just dissolved in tears.” Stong returned to Colorado with the book. “The binding was in pretty bad shape and I had to ask people to stop handling it.” With the help of a local bookbinder, the Bible’s saddle stitching has now been replaced and new pages added for future entries. Marsh said the experience of connecting Stong with her Bible has inspired her. “Including Ann’s, I’ve now reconnected five families with Bibles set for auction,” she said. “I hope to encourage others to do the same when they see these kinds of items at sales or antique malls — it would be a shame to see so much family history wind up as decoupage on someone’s wall.” Stong said although her newfound heirloom has answered many of her questions, she still plans to keep digging into the lives of her ancestors. “I’m not through being nosy, just yet …” she said.

Wende Curtis, owner of Comedy Works in LoDo and south in the Landmark development, is peddling a six-minute “sizzle reel” for a reality TV series about her crazy Comedy Works world. “The working title is called `Comedy Works’,” said Curtis, who wouldn’t divulge where or to whom she’s pitching the pilot project. “The principal characters are me, Lucy (her four-legged child), Jeff, our GM of the south club, and an assistant who is a sexy little 20-something who wants to break into comedy. “There are a few more (characters) slated to be introduced early on, but there’s only so much to get across in six minutes! We’ve gotten some strong feedback from the business; now let’s see if we can sell it.” Curtis said her motivation for exploring the reality TV possibilities was primarily financial. “Money inspired me ... to get out from underneath my debt faster!” she said.

Makes sense
When the creative team behind the musical interpretation of Jane Austen’s classic novel “Sense & Sensibility” first presented their idea to Tony-nominated director Marcia Milgrom Dodge, she thought they were kidding. How could Austen’s iconic 1811 work of romantic fiction possibly translate into a piece for musical theater? But the team convinced Milgrom Dodge, who fell in love with the formidable project. The result made its world premiere April 5 in Denver Center’s Stage Theatre. The result is a whimsical romp through the lives and loves of the Dashwood sisters, who go from riches to rags after the death of their father. The sisters and their mother move to Barton Cottage in Devonshire, near the home of her cousin, Sir John Middleton. It’s at Barton where a series of tangled Parker continues on Page 21

CHAC Gallery features ‘Santitos’ Religious images on display through April By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Retablos, bultos, crosses and more are on exhibit this month at Chicano Humanities and Arts Council in Denver’s Santa Fe Arts District. “For generations, Hispanic villagers of New Mexico and southern Colorado have created Santos — religious images of Catholic Christian saints and Biblical scenes,” said curator Santero Ronn Miera. “They used them in their homes, churches and private chapels to aid in worship and for adornment ….” “Santitos” is the name of the 12th annual group show of traditional and contemporary santos and crosses at the CHAC Gallery, 772 Santa Fe Drive. Participating artists include Teresa Du-

romances finally straighten themselves out. The exciting production values include sets that slide on and off stage or emerge from below or descend into trap doors. “Sense & Sensibility the Musical” runs through May 26. Tickets: 303-893-4100 or www.denvercenter.org.
DIA’s design delights
“USA Today” recently included Denver International Airport in its list of the “world’s most beautiful airports.” Here’s what the story said: “Denver International Airport’s iconic peaked fiberglass roof is meant to resemble the Rocky Mountains. Interior details throughout the airport have sparked numerous conspiracy theories — everything from supposed Templar markings in the floors to the theory that the airport serves as the secret headquarters for the Illuminati.” For more of the story, plus recommended Denver sights worth seeing, go to www.usatoday.com/story/travel/ flights/2013/04/07/worlds-most-beautifulairports/2056899/.
Steak escape
The Travel Channel recently aired an episode of the series “Food Paradise” with a third “Steak Paradise” edition, which

ran of Arvada; Jose Esquibel, Littleton; Lynn Fresquez and Vanessa Fresquez, Denver; Ronn Miera, Brighton; and Carlos Santistevan y Familia, Denver. Master Santero Santistevan and his award-winning children Carlos Santistevan Jr. and Brigida Montes have created a family display Paintings and statues came up the Camino Real from Mexico with the first colonists to New Mexico in 1598 such as Don Juan de Onate. Between 30 and 50 mission churches were established. Early images were oil paintings, which could be rolled to travel, but local artists began to carve and paint wooden images and altar screens. Today’s santeros and santeras use many of the same materials their ancestors did — carving, finishing and sometimes painting
included a stop at Vesta Dipping Grill, 1822 Blake St. Personally, when I think Denver steak house, Vesta doesn’t come to top of mind, but the “Food Paradise” peeps “steaked” a claim to Vesta. In the piece, diners rave about Vesta’s beef steak dishes - including the signature surf and turf, which is a flatiron steak with Manila clams - as well as waxing poetic about Vesta’s venison filet. Former executive chef Matt Selby (who now runs the kitchen at Corner House), talks about the veracity of venison for the camera. The segment likely will air again on the Travel Channel, but until then, you can check it out at www.travelchannel.com/ video/a-steak-by-any-other-name.
More restaurant scoops
Those of you who’ve been around the Denver dining scene since the 1990s might remember Michael’s, a former fine dining spot at 2710 E. Third Ave. that lasted until 2000 when chef/owner Michael Shiell sold the place and relocated to The Big Apple. After a chef stint there, he headed to the other coast as a restaurant consultant in California. But he longed to get back to his chef self, and to again own his own restaurant. Shiell got his wish when Lime owners Curt Sims and Pam Savage decided to leave Larimer Square and set up shop in the Denver Pavilions. Shiell leased the below-ground level space in a Larimer Square courtyard (near Bistro Vendome), and will open Milk &
to tell traditional stories. A Santito or Benedito is a small blessing given to a person who is headed out on a journey, Miera said. Usually, they were made by a parent or grandparent. Esquibel, a scholar in the field, will talk at 1 p.m. April 20 about “Modern Usage of Santos.” He says we can use santos to enhance people’s lives. They can reconnect us to each other … ease pain and sorrow of this time and the circumstance in which we live. Modern usage is described as (1) Use of santos as a surrogate for our presence. (2) Use as teaching aids and devices. (3) Use to express a profound sentiment that cannot be expressed in any other way. (4) To celebrate accomplishments or mark significant public events. He will give examples and encourage conversation. He said he is tending the gallery on Saturdays. Visitors will find a friendly and knowledgeable source of information if they stop to ask questions about subjects or techniques.
Honey Bar Kitchen (he hopes) in August. “We chose the old Lime spot because ... well ... it’s Larimer Square, and I always love those tucked-away little gems personally when I go out,” Shiell said. He was particularly attracted to the large belowground patio, which he plans to decorate with numerous flowers and plants similar to his Bistro Vendome neighbor. The “contemporary American” cuisine includes appetizers such as yellow fin tuna tartar, roast hen and foie gras terrine, rabbit rilette and honey-soy lacquered pork belly. Entrée selections vary from butterpoached halibut, roast French hen, crispy duck breast and veal osso buco. Other dishes are soups and salads, an assortment of artisan cheeses and salumi, pasta and a burger. Farther west as part of the Union Station redevelopment, Zoe Ma Ma, an Asian eatery with a location in Boulder, will open in the former south parking lot on 16th and Wynkoop. The menu features Dim Sum, noodle and rice dishes and daily specials. “We use organic unbleached wheat flour, all-natural meats, cage-free eggs and wind power,” the menu says. “We don’t use MSG.” Check out the complete menu at www. zoemama.com. Moving east from LoDo to Uptown, Pitch Coal-Fire Pizzeria is slated to open on 19th and Pennsylvania with another Marg’s taco joint opening across the street next month. Marg’s World Taco Bistro, which has

Courtesy photo Denver locations in Cherry Creek North and LoDo, serves soft tacos with unusual fillings, housemade guacamole, chips and salsa. Complete menu at www.margstacobistro.com. Pitch Coal-Fire Pizzeria, with one store in Omaha, Neb., is expanding into the Denver market. Pitch is the brainchild of Willy Theisen, the founder of Godfather’s Pizza who sold the operation in 1983 for millions of dollars. But despite his gah-zillionaire status, Theisen, in his mid-60s, has marinara sauce running through his veins and refuses to retire. But Pitch is more than a pizza place. The menu includes steaks, pasta, fish, fowl, salads and appetizers. Check it out at www. pitchpizzeria.com.

Huskies’ Kiefer on a streak Shortstop among top hitters in Continental League By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com There are myriad terms to describe baseball players when they come to bat. They could be labeled as contact, power, slap, mistake or bad-ball hitters, among the expressions. But Douglas County’s Logan Kiefer calls himself a stupid hitter. Kiefer, a senior shortstop, is among the Continental League’s leading hitters with a .556 batting average, a .625 on base percentage and a league-best 1.148 slugging percentage. He smacked his fourth home run of the season April 12 in a 14-4 loss to ThunderRidge and is tied for the league lead with the Grizzlies’ Brody Westmoreland. He and Westmoreland are the state home run leaders among Class 5A players. “Everything feels good right now,” Kiefer
said. “I’m just trying to stay within myself and not try to do too much. Sometimes that can be hard. You try to think too much. You just have to hit stupid. That’s my motto for myself, hit stupid. “When you’re on, you’re on, and right now the ball just feels like a watermelon coming in.” Douglas County coach Mark Roberts has marveled at what he’s seen from Kiefer this spring. “He’s making the transition from second base to shortstop this year and doing an excellent job for us both offensively and defensively,” Roberts said. “I remember seeing Logan his freshman year and it’s been fun to watch him grow. And when I saw grow, I mean just that. “Logan has grown from a 5-foot-6 freshman to a 6-3 senior. He has the skills and now has the size and strength to go with it. He’s been a vocal leader on this year’s team and I’ve spoken to numerous college coaches who are interested in his baseball talent.”
Kiefer has a strong throwing arm and has adapted well to his new defensive position. “At shortstop there is more responsibility, you have to lead the team,” Kiefer said. “It takes skill to play both positions, but at short you definitely have to have more range, more versatility, you have to be more of an athlete and have to keep everyone in the game. “Growing up, I kind of always played shortstop. I was smaller than everybody my sophomore year, I started to sprout my junior year but I still played second. This year I came out and played shortstop all fall and came out and played short this spring.” Kiefer hasn’t let the position switch bother his approach at the plate. He was 2-for-3 in the loss at ThunderRidge, scored twice and crushed a solo homer. “Baseball is all I do,” he said. “I hit and field for the same time and I work on both because they both matter just as much. Compared to the last two seasons, I’m 100 percent better.”
HigH scHool sports roundup League play opens in baseball
Continental League baseball teams opened the league season April 8 and ever since have been battling weather delays. Chaparral, ranked second in the Class 5A poll, scored five runs in the seventh inning to defeat Legend, 9-5, in the league opener as Max Kuhns, Josh Nicol and Zac Guy each drove in two runs for the Wolverines. Carter Kling hit a two-run homer for the Titans and Tanner Thompson had three hits. Trevor Smeeton threw a complete game, allowing only one run and five hits, as Castle View downed ThunderRidge, 2-1, to hand the Grizzlies their first loss of the season. Ellis Kelly had three hits and drove in both Sabercats runs in the fifth inning. Fifth-ranked Mountain Vista broke a 5-5 tie with four runs in the sixth inning in a 9-5 win over Highlands Ranch, Regis Jesuit pounded Douglas County, 11-1, and Heritage scored all its runs in the fifth inning to beat Littleton, 5-4, despite being outhit 9-5 by the Lions. Big offensive efforts highlighted April 11 league games. Sophomore Zach Broussley hit a grand slam home run and a two-run double in the fourth inning and had six RBI as Castle View scored 14 runs in the frame and rolled to a 17-4 win over Littleton. Brody Westmoreland had five hits and drove in eight runs in ThunderRidge’s 17-0 blanking of Ponderosa. Rowdy Sheets threw a five-inning, one-hit shutout. Logan Kiefer went 3-for-3 as Douglas County beat Rock Canyon 6-0 behind Trent Maloney’s shutout pitching.

In April 12 Continental League games, Dean Hoth had four hits including a home run as Mountain Vista whipped Castle View, 11-1, ThunderRidge came from behind to beat Douglas County, 14-4, and
Chaparral edged Highlands Ranch, 9-8. Kling and Anthony Kaasch each had three hits as Legend defeated Highlands Ranch, 15-11, in an April 13 game. Class 2A Lutheran stormed Kent Denver, 24-9 on April 11 as Davey King had four hits and eight RBIs. The Lions hit five home runs in the game. Lutheran swept a doubleheader from Denver Science and Tech April 13, winning 10-2 and 25-6. Nathen Stehler went 6-for-7 with seven RBI in the twin bill. Valor Christian, a Class 4A team, improved its record to 7-6 with a 14-4 triumph over Roosevelt on April 11 and a 6-2 victory over Pomona April 12. Daniel Butler gave up only one earned run and struck out 11 in earning a seven-inning pitching win over Pomona.

Running the `Roost’
Several Douglas County area athletes performed well in the April 13 Mullen Runners Roost. Nolan Ellis of Chaparral won the boys pole vault with a 13-foot effort while the ThunderRidge girls 4x800 relay team of Emma Atwell, Kamryn Hart, Lauren Shubin and Emily Waters ran a 9:55.75, which was the fastest in the event’s the second heat.

In games of April 12, Ashton Monheiser scored four goals in Mountain Vista’s 16-5 win over ThunderRidge and midfielder Alex Spinder had four goals as Chaparral earned a 11-8 triumph over Rock Canyon.

struggle ends with surge of hits Home run in Arizona opens door to more By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews. com One of the big questions surrounding the ThunderRidge baseball program these days is: Who is the hottest hitter on the Grizzlies varsity team? Senior catcher Jake Hand has changed his mind. “Two days ago, I’d say me, but as of now, Brody (Westmoreland) is,” Hand admitted. Hand is the Continental League’s leading hitter and second in the state among Class 5A players with a .645 batting average. He has 22 runs batted in. Westmoreland, a junior shortstop who has verbally committed to play at San Diego State, has gone 15-for-21 with 18 RBIs and four home runs in the past five games for ThunderRidge, a team ranked fourth in the Class 5A state poll. “Brody was kind of struggling,” Hand explained. “The last game in Arizona, he hit a home run, and then ever since he has four home runs in the past five games.” Hand went 1-for-2 in a 14-4 win over Douglas County on April 12 while Westmoreland was 4-for-5 with four RBI and a home run as he improved his season batting average to .500 with 19 RBIs, three doubles,
two triples, four homers and 18 runs scored. ThunderRidge, which gave up three runs in the top of the first inning, collected 16 hits against Douglas County and senior starting pitcher Bradley Thoutt settled down and pitched five innings, allowing five hits. Hard-throwing junior closer Tyler Loptien, who was 2-for-3 at the plate, pitched a scoreless sixth inning. “The team is looking real sharp,” Westmoreland said. “We’re bonding as a whole. Fielding-wise I’ve been pretty good, but hitting-wise, I started off pretty slow. I made some adjustments and now everything looks like a beach ball.” The Douglas County game was the second of the day on April 12. The Grizzlies lost 5-3 to No. 3 Grandview at Coors Field. ThunderRidge is 8-2 overall and 2-1 in the Continental League. “I think we’re good now,” Hand said. “We were hot in Arizona, then we had a week off and we lost to Castle View, which was a game we had no business losing. I feel that loss might have been good for us. “We went undefeated in Arizona, which we’ve never done before. We were feeling like we were on the top of the world, but that loss kind of knocked us down to reality. We realized we’re not supermen.”

Vista girls gain league soccer victory By Jim Benton
‘It was a great win. We had really good energy
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Mountain Vista played its typical solid game and captured a key Continental League girls soccer victory. The Golden Eagles, the top-ranked Class 5A team, used two first-half goals from Maddy Smith, relentless ball possession and a steadfast defense to pick up a 2-0 win over No. 4 Rock Canyon April 12 at Sports Authority Stadium. The win gave the Golden Eagles a 6-0-0 Continental record and the league lead over Rock Canyon (5-1-0) and Highlands Ranch (3-1-0). “I thought the girls played great,” said Mountain Vista coach Theresa Echtermeyer. “We had more of the play and possessed the ball very, very well. I felt all three lines did a great job, they really connected well from the back third, to the midfield third and carried on with a great attack in the attacking third. “It was a great win. We had really good energy and pace.” Smith got a nice centering pass from Amy Alexander and scored 14 minutes into the first half. She was opportunistic and added the second Mountain Vista goal when Jaguars goalkeeper Julia Henning lost control of the ball. “It was a big night for her,” Echter-
and pace.’ Theresa Echtermeyer, Mountain Vista girls soccer coach meyer said of Smith, who collected her fourth and fifth goals of the season. Mountain Vista’s defense, led by senior Mariel Adams, didn’t allow Rock Canyon many quality shots. Jill Finnerty’s attempt with five seconds left in the first half deflected over the Mountain Vista goal, and the Jaguars had another good chance in the second half, but Paige Von Bonk couldn’t corral a pass in front of the goal. Danielle Cushing made six saves for Mountain Vista in the first half and Torrel Stewart stopped three Rock Canyon shots in the final 40 minutes. The win over Rock Canyon avenged a shootout loss to the Jaguars in last spring’s quarterfinal state playoff game. “It was a huge win,” said Echtermeyer. “Rock Canyon is a good rival, obviously. They are a quality team, ranked No. 4 right now.” Rock Canyon played better in the second half, and coach Matt Henbest is looking ahead.
“We improved in the second half,” Henbest said. “Mountain Vista is a good team and played well. For us, it was a good opportunity to see the things we need to work on in preparation for the state tournament. “It was a good test for our kids. It was good to see Mountain Vista because we know exactly what we will get next time. If we get to see them in the state tournament, we’ve already had a crack at them and there won’t be any surprises.” Mountain Vista (9-1-0) lost its first game of the season April 13 when Pine Creek earned a 1-0 upset non-league victory in Colorado Springs. The Golden Eagles were playing their third match in three days and a number of regular players didn’t play in the game. Rock Canyon (6-1-1 overall) stayed within a game of Mountain Vista in the league standings when the Jaguars beat Castle View, 2-1, in a makeup game on April 13. Finnerty scored both goals for Rock Canyon.

Club carries on legacy of Hilltop By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews. com A new art festival will showcase not only the work of potters and painters, it will bring attention to the last standing building in a long-abandoned town. Hilltop, an unincorporated town established in 1888 around a railroad depot between Parker and Elizabeth, has been forgotten by all but a few loyal ladies who comprise the Hilltop Social Club. The 15-member group is in charge of maintaining the only remaining structure, the Hilltop School, which is still owned by the Douglas County School District. The school is used mostly as a gathering spot for the social club’s business meetings, but on April 27 it will host the first Hilltop Art Fair, which is being organized by the women’s fellowship at Hilltop United Church of Christ across the street. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., artists of all kinds will display and demonstrate their crafts, and the proceeds from sales will benefit both the Hilltop School and the church. For more information about the art fair, call 303-841-2808. The idea behind placing booths at the historic school is to familiarize the public with its heritage and advertise it as a place for special events like weddings. Situated on three pristine acres at Flintwood and Democrat roads, near the Douglas-Elbert county line, the school is in remarkably good condition. It was built in 1898 after the original one-room schoolhouse burned down. The Hilltop Social Club has not missed a monthly meeting since its inception in 1921, and the women began leasing the building when K-8 classes were moved to Parker in 1954. Some longtime members of the club, like Susy Cushman, who joined in 1965, and Be Dent, who joined in 1979 and has lived in the area for 74 years,

staging. I own a full inventory of furniture and accessories so my clients don’t need to spend thousands on staging but they benefit in the thousands!
Madison & Co Luxury Properties 201 Milwaukee St., Denver, CO 80206 Direct: 720-339-8977 Dawn@MileHighAgent.com www.MileHighAgent.com Where were you born? I was born in Omaha, NE How long have you lived in the area? Since 1999 What do you like most about it? The people – It seems like Colorado has so many blue ski days that the people here are happy, fun and exciting to be around. I have really been blessed with fabulous clients and friends. How long have you worked in Real Estate? I got my real estate license in 2003 as a hobby because I have always enjoyed real estate and architecture. When I was 16 and got my driver’s license, I would go to open houses for fun. That turned into a full time career and I’m still going to open houses for fun! What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with? I specialize in getting sellers top dollar for their
Knowing when to stop working – I could work, work, and completely forget about time. What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working? I enjoy travelling with my family. My favorite places usually have a sandy beach & beautiful water. What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? My sellers get about 10 to 20% over current market value. The key is to go on the market strong. This means uncluttered, staged and clean. Going on the market pre prepared and putting your best foot forward gets sellers TOP DOLLAR. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Take advantage of the low interest rates and still very low prices because we are at the threshold of an increase in market prices. This is the perfect time to move up. Homes under $400,000 are increasing but the homes with prices over $500,000 haven’t increased too much. Savvy buyers can take advantage of the shifting market at its threshold. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? Oddly, I locked myself inside a home I was previewing. I was forced to exit through the back door and ended up climbing a 6-foot privacy fence in heels and a suit because the fence had no gate! I am sure the neighbors thought I was crazy as I jumped over the fence in a snowdrift.

We’re inspired by classic Colorado architecture and passionate about cra smanship. Yet we geek out on the latest technology and sustainable building techniques. The thicker walls in our New Town Builders’ high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insula on than in a conven onal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we can get 2 ½ mes MORE insula on in the a c. This reduces heat loss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill! Talk to us about building your (surprisingly affordable) energy-efficient new home.

Q
: With housing at skyhigh affordability are lenders still lending? Can I get a loan with the new stricter lending standards that are out there today? Are there low down payment programs still available? : You are correct that lending standards have changed dramatically in the last few years as banks and lenders have gone from very loose standards, particularly on subprime loans in the 2000s, to stricter standards today. Verification of ability to repay and assets for downpayment (and sometimes reserves), are now required as the stated income/ stated asset or no income/no asset loans no longer exist. Waiting periods after bank-
A
ruptcies, loan modifications, short sales, and foreclosures have all been extended – but loans are still available, even for people that have had those credit blemishes. As for low down payment programs, many counties, as well as CHAFA, offer down payment assistance programs, although most of those come with income or asset qualifiers. Additionally, grant programs with income qualifiers reduce down payment requirements to around $1000. The VA loan program, for veterans, offers a no downpayment program, and VA fees can be waived for those with disabilities. FHA offers a program with only 3.5 percent of the purchase price as a downpayment. The USDA program also offers a zero down program in certain rural areas. Finally, conventional loans are available with as little as 5 percent down. If you’re looking to purchase or refinance, seek out an experienced, trustworthy, financially savvy lender, that you can meet face to face,
who has access to the full spectrum of loan and grant programs. Then work with them to select the proper loan and grant programs and have them customize them to best suit your needs. For more information on how you can purchase or refinance a home, please
contact our lending expert, Randy Spierings, CPA (over 30 years), NMLS #217152, branch manager for Primary Residential Mortgage, Inc., a local lender you can trust, at 303-256-5748 or rspierings@primeres.com. www. BestColoradoMortgages. com Regulated by the Divi-
