Some Democrats dubious about gun bills Questions focus on rights, realism

By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Democrats on March 11 went five-forfive on their surviving pieces of gun-control legislation, including victories on a bill that places limits on high-capacity ammunition magazines and one that institutes universal background checks on all gun sales and transfers.

But three of the bills passed the Senate without unified Democratic support — and those votes came after two other lawmakers killed their own controversial bills last

week, before they were ever debated.

The recent activity on all five gun bills spanned two days, beginning on March 8, following lengthy and often emotional debate that took place on the Senate floor.

While Democrats by and large feel like they have struck Report a balance between respecting Second Amendment rights and trying to curb gun violence, at least one elected official wonders if her party may have overreached in its gun-control efforts.

“I’m concerned that this may have

Capitol

woken up people,” Sen. Lois Tochtrop, a Thornton Democrat, told Colorado Community Media.

Tochtrop voted against limiting ammunition magazines to 15 rounds and requiring that all gun sales and transfers be subject to background checks.

Tochtrop voted for the three other bills: One prohibiting domestic violence offenders from having access to guns; one requiring those who go through background checks to pay the associated costs; and the one that Tochtrop sponsored, which would ban concealed-carry permit training from being done exclusively online.

Tochtrop wonders how independent voters will respond to the legislation.

“It’s the unaffiliated (voters) that don’t support some of these gun bills,” she said.

“These are the people who determine elections in Colorado.”

“She could be right,” said Sen. Cheri Jahn, D-Wheat Ridge, when asked about her colleague’s comments. “We’ll find out in 2014.”

Jahn voted in favor of four of the bills, but opposed the one regarding limits on magazines.

“It’s just not enforceable,” Jahn said. “So, it’s against the law to buy 15s (rounds of ammunition in a magazine). So, they just go out and buy several 15s and carry them. The people who have committed these horrible, heinous crimes are people that are gonna get ’em elsewhere anyway. And they’re gonna be a lot bigger than the 15s anyway.”

Olympian makes splash with kids Franklin inspires and gets inspired

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Last summer, Missy Franklin put smiles on the faces of millions of Americans as she swam to five medals at the London Olympic Games. Last week, the 17-year-old high school senior was only concerned with doing so for about a dozen kids.

The kids, all patients at Children’s Hospital of Littleton, received a special visit from the four-time gold medal winner March 7.

Prior to spending one-on-one time with each youngster, America’s fastest young swimmer told them what it was like chasing her goals, achieving her first world record at the Olympics, making the infamous “Call Me Maybe” video, balancing studies and practice — and yes, meeting Justin Bieber.

She also shared stories of enduring.

Telling the kids about missing out on the medal podium by a hundredth of a second in the 200 freestyle, she talked about coming back strong.

“That was a really good lesson for me,” she said. “As much as I wanted to be on that stand and as much as that one-hundredth hurt, I knew that I had to leave that race behind me and that I had to get up and come back the next day.”

CHANGE COMING Children’s Hospital Colorado’s South Campus is expected to open in December at the corner of Lucent and Plaza Drive in Highlands Ranch. The 175,000-square-foot facility will offer in-patient care, a wide range of outpatient services, a 22-room urgent care, a sports medicine program, four operating rooms, numerous laboratories, imaging and diagnostics. All four existing south-metro Children’s clinics in Littleton and Centennial will close and consolidate into the Highlands Ranch campus once it opens.

In Franklin’s next individual event, the 200 backstroke, she wound up claiming her first world record.

That lesson of not giving up, but instead digging deeper, was just one of the many she shared with the kids. Franklin also told them not to be afraid to ask for help, that it actually makes you stronger, not weaker, to rely on somebody else’s assistance.

Emma Bruxvoort, 14, of Littleton, has had to get used to asking for help since she was diagnosed a year ago with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Before she initially got sick in 2010, she competed regularly in triathlons.

“It’s pretty cool,” Emma said of Franklin’s visit. “I’ve never really met a famous athlete before, and it’s kind of inspirational to see how she’s grown. … It was nice that she would come and take her time off to talk to kids like us, going through hard times.”

And while many of the kids talked about what an inspiration Franklin was to them

Olympic champion Missy Franklin talks to patients March 7 at Children’s Hospital in Littleton. over the past year-plus, there was no question that inspiration works both ways.

“It’s just incredible to see these people who have been through so much and still have such a big smile on their faces,” Franklin said of the kids. “They have just gone through so much and overcome all odds.

“When I sit back and think about what they’ve been able to accomplish and to push through, it honestly makes what I’ve done just completely minuscule.”

The Highlands Ranch Metro District is preparing for a lawsuit from one of its former board members.

Former director Philip Cullen, who resigned in February 2012 amid numerous disagreements with other board members, is preparing to sue. He believes the way in which the Metro District taxes Highlands Ranch residents for its arterial fence replacement program is unconstitutional.

The Metro District owns 42 miles of arterial fence line, which backs up to roughly 3,400 homes. The district has spent $17 million on its fence replacement program over the last 25 years, according to General Manager Terry Nolan. The annual cost of the program varies, sometimes costing nothing in a given year and sometimes as little as $400,000. In 2013, the district budgeted $1.3 million for the program.

Cullen stated in a formal petition, which he presented to the board at its Feb. 20 work study session, that Cullen causing everyone to pay for the fence program creates two classes of taxpayers. While acknowledging that the fencing is beneficial to all residents in terms of safety, landscaping and property values, he said it was an indirect benefit to most.

“Taxpayers in Highlands Ranch should not provide a subsidy for homeowners for that portion of the fence line that abuts the property lines,” he said. “I am asking those homeowners to pay 50 percent of the costs.

This fencing which faces their backyards is a direct benefit, while the other side of the fence is an indirect benefit to all residents of Highlands Ranch.”

Using the 2013 figures, and the consideration that there are 29,840 households in Highlands Ranch, the average homeowner is chipping in $43.57 for the program as part of their taxes this year. If Cullen’s suit were to be successful, that total would be $21.78 instead for those not living next to the fence line, while those who do would pay a higher cost of $212.96.

Splitting the cost, Cullen says, would allow tax dollars to be spent on other entities Fence continues on Page 7

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.

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

By Jane Reuter

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 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 syn-

drome, 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.

For more information or to take the pledge, visit www.r-word.org.

Chris Howard, an author in the young-adult genre, will make a special appearance at the Highlands Ranch Library, 9292 S. Ridgeline Blvd., at 6:30 p.m. March 15. Howard is the author of the post-apocalyptic dystopian novel “Rootless,” which is set in a world without trees.

Students from seventh through 12th grade are invited to attend and bring a tree that they’ve made from recycled and found objects. The trees will be put on display at the library and be judged from a panel that includes Howard.

Students are encouraged to dress up as characters from Howard’s book and prizes will be awarded. For more information contact Lisa Casper at lcasper@dclibraries.org or 720-348-9522.

HRMD gets forestry grant

The Highlands Ranch Metro District has received a $6,000 grant from the Xcel Energy Foundation/Colorado Tree Coalition grant program. The grant will help fund the Metro District’s 2013 tree replacement program in planting 20 deciduous and coniferous trees along Highlands Ranch Parkway and in several parks throughout the community, replacing diseased trees.

A portion of the grant will also fund the Metro District’s Arbor Day planting at Northridge Park in April. The HRMD tree-care program is responsible for 15,000 trees in 23 irrigated parks and 285 acres of parkway landscape.

Teachers’ groups trade accusations 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 backand-forth. We want the factual information to be out there and let the teachers decide.”

The National Education Association, the country’s largest labor union, also has accused AAE and its state affiliates of being “pro-voucher” “anti-public 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 the school district to distribute PACE brochures to teacher mailboxes and were told `no,’” he said. “If we were actually collaborating and working together with them, you’d think at the very least they’d let us put our brochures out.”

DCSD spokeswoman Cinamon Watson confirmed Farmer’s statement.

“We told PACE `no,’” she said. “We have not coordinated nor do we plan to coordinate any distribution of material for PACE or DCFT.” Farmer said PACE created its own database of publicly available teacher emails.

“We sent out a mass email — basically a pretty standard blurb about PACE, letting them know about us,” he said.

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.”

Not your parents’ cafeteria Community invited to try 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

Spring

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.

Douglas sets ‘sunny’ example Review board says county is trend-setter in transparency

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.

How to file a Colorado records request 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 Re-

cords 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

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.”

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. days, although extenuating circumstances provide for up to seven days.

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.

SHERIFF’S OFFICE BRIEFS Gold Peak Place turns `old’

The “G” on the “Gold Peak Place” apartment complex sign was stolen sometime between the hours of 10 p.m. Feb. 28 and 10 a.m. March 1 in Highlands Ranch. Also in the complex, three garage door keypads were pried off and stolen that same night. There are no leads in the thefts, but the complex has reported an increasing amount of theft and vandalism over recent months. Gold Peak Place is in Palomino Park, which is located west of Quebec Street and south of C-470.

Riding away

Two bicycle thefts were reported within 48 hours in Highlands Ranch on March 3 and 5. The first theft occurred in the 9100 block of Stargrass Circle, northeast of the Highlands Ranch Parkway and Broadway intersection, where two bicycles were taken out of an open garage overnight. In the second instance, in the 400 block of Burgundy Street, northwest of Lucent and Broadway, a single chained bicycle was removed from a resident’s porch. Residents

are encouraged and reminded to leave bicycles in a closed garage overnight when possible.

Fraud alert

There were three fraud calls on March 4 and 5 into the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. In all instances, a victim’s credit card or bank account had been used to purchase hundreds of dollars of merchandise or gift cards that they had not authorized.

“We live in a day and age of convenience when it comes to financial banking, but a lot of times, unfortunately, that convenience can also be used against you and makes it very easy for that criminal element,” said Sgt. Ron Hanavan, spokesman for the sheriff’s office. “Always make sure that you are checking your credit card statement and your bank statements at a minimum on a monthly basis.”

Hanavan said it is wise to check accounts frequently online to ensure all transactions posted are ones that you have made and to report any inaccuracies immediately.

Senator pushes school finance fix Bill would call for statewide reform, $1 billion in funds

ehalf to itBy Deborah Grigsby opendgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com r Jill noth- State Sen. Mike Johnston, D-Denver, is ationcrafting new legislation that would ask votds ofers statewide to cough up an additional $1 espe-billion to fund it. and Speaking to about 60 members of the thatSouth Denver Metro Chamber’s business and legislative groups, Johnston told edumorecators, policy makers and entrepreneurs viewthat in order to drive economic prosperity visitto the state, Colorado must rethink how it currently funds education.

“I think the last time a school finance act was passed, I didn’t have email, a cell phone or the Internet,” Johnston said. “That was in 1993 and the most significant reform at the time in the state and the nation was Bill Clinton’s crazy idea to make school kids wear uniforms.”

Chamber President John Brackney said Johnston’s bill is one of the most important pieces of legislation to be considered this year.

“The reason we think this is so important is this still remains the swing county of the nation, not only just Colorado,” Brackney said.

“Depending on how we view this issue, if it gets to ballot, it will rise or fall on what people like us think.”

“The argument is that we ought build a 21st-century education system in Colorado that is the envy of the world,” he said. “And to do that requires reforming the way we deliver education and know that it will require more revenue to do it effectively.”

Johnston summarized his proposed legislation in “three big buckets” of reform.

The “One is to modernize the way we fund education, the second is to make investments that make a difference and the third

is to make funding transparent, accountable and fair,” he explained.

Modernizing funding Johnston said the state’s current funding methodologies often cut students short.

“It works like this,” he said.

“However many butts there are in seats on Oct. 1, you get $6,000 per student. They are worth zero dollars every other day of the year” Johnston’s bill would create what he calls an average day membership count, valuing students at $30 per day for each of the 200

“The bottom line is, even though Amendment 64 passed, it still doesn’t authorize the distribution or sale of marijuana,” said Sgt. 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 Walton no doubt it was not a donation. It was being sold.”

High school students would also be offered more flexibility in where they accessed content, such as online courses, without affecting student funding.

Investments that count Johnson hopes to convince the legislature a “seismic shift” in human capital is in order.

Over a three-year period, Johnston proposes rolling out new standards and assessments for every grade level and content area in the state, as well as new evaluations for every category of professional.

“I believe we are in the middle of one of the most dramatic overhauls in the industry at any moment in history,” he said. “We know the single most important criteria that affects a child from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. is the effectiveness of her teacher and principal.”

Other changes would include funding for full-day kindergarten and half-day funding for early childhood education.

Transparency for taxpayers Johnston also proposes a transparency measure that would, literally, put school finances at the fingertips of taxpayers.

“What we are proposing in this bill IS something no state has ever done before, which will allow us to track every tax dollar spent on education, in every school, on every day.”

The bill would move school financing from a centralized budget to a studentbased budget and enable taxpayers to compare expenditures and performance among individual schools as well as districts.

“It’s really a better way of evaluating feedback on what our system is doing in order to generate the results the voters expect,” Johnston said.

“This is money that could be spent on fire services, parks and sports programs,” he said. “Fire services, parks and sports programs have a far greater beneficial effect on property values, than a subsidy for fence lines.”

The board met Feb. 26 in executive session with its legal counsel, David Hahn, about the situation, and responded to Cullen via letter Feb. 28 denying his petition.

Board Chairman Rick Owens stated in the letter that the fencing is “a significant factor in maintaining property values in Highlands Ranch (and) is also there to help contain

“The fencing is on Metro District land and, like the trees, grass and shrubs, is owned and maintained by the District,” he continued.

“The Metro District does not have the authority to require adjacent landowners to pay more than they are currently paying in property taxes for fencing on district property.”

Owens added that it would be virtually impossible to get adjacent landowners to voluntarily pay more for maintenance of district fencing, and that Hahn had advised the board that if the district did attempt to force adjacent homeowners to pay more, a judge would likely deem the district’s lawsuit frivolous and throw it out.

Cloverleaf popular with home-school families District aims to expand program to meet demand

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 oneday-a-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 home-schooled 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 interaction with friends. It allows me in the other four days to do what we need to get done and still have a quality educational experi-

Parents peruse home-school materials during a spring 2012 curriculum fair in Castle Rock sponsored by the Douglas County School District. Materials are loaned to families, who return them at the end of the academic year for reissue to other families. Courtesy photo ence.”

Cloverleaf is not a new program, but the Castle Rock program was for years run by Aurora Public Schools. DCSD stepped in for the 2011-12 school year.

Home-schooled students are funded by the state at half the rate of a full-time stu-

dent, 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 religious 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.”

Recognition leaves teacher ‘humbled’ Tafoya named 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.”

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

School nurse consultant Celia Flanigan was named Douglas County School District’s 2013 Classified Employee of the Year. Courtesy photo teaches us to work smarter.”

School nurses are responsible for multiple schools, and Flanigan leads an eight-nurse 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 the specific health issues of children in their schools.

“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 booboos,’ and that is not what we’re doing at all.

“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.”

An amended version of this bill requires that at least some training for handgun permits be done in person, and through a class that is taught by a certified instructor.

The bill’s Senate sponsor is Lois Tochtrop, D-Thornton.

This bill, which passed 22-13, received bipartisan support, with Republican Sens.

‘I’m carrying this bill because gun violence has become an epidemic. How do we know if someone is a dangerous convicted felon, but for a background check?’

Morgan Carroll, Senate sponsor Ellen Roberts of Durango and Kevin Lundberg of Berthoud voting with Democrats.

The bill now heads to the House.

House Bill 1224: This bill limits the number of rounds that a high-capacity magazine can hold to 15.

Democrats cite high-profile mass shootings — where the shooters used high-capacity magazines to kill multiple victims — as evidence that ammunition limits needs to be in place for the community’s sake.

But Republicans say the magazine limit is arbitrary, and that such a law would do nothing to keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of criminals and the mentally unstable.

The bill passed 18-17. Democratic Sens.

Cheri Jahn of Wheat Ridge and Lois Tochtrop of Thornton joined all 15 Republicans in voting against the bill, which now heads back to the House for consideration of amendments.

House Bill 1229: This bill requires universal background checks on gun sales and transfers. Supporters say the legislation closes a loophole in current Colorado law, which already requires that background checks be conducted when guns are bought through retail outlets.

The bill makes exceptions for family members who give their guns to one another and those who inherent them. The bill also allows people to freely loan their guns to someone for up to a 72-hour period, so long as the person receiving the weapon is legally able to possess them.

Supporters argued that the bill is neces-

sary to weed out the bad guys who seek to buy guns.

“I’m carrying this bill because gun violence has become an epidemic,” said Senate sponsor Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora.

“How do we know if someone is a dangerous convicted felon, but for a background check?”

But Republicans argue that the bill only penalizes law-abiding citizens, and that criminals will find a way to get them anyway. They also argue that the law only would work if there is a gun registry in place.

“This bill will do absolutely nothing to improve, absolutely nothing,” said Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray.

The bill passed the Senate 19-16, with Sen. Lois Tochtrop of Thornton being the only Democrat to vote against the legislation, which now heads back to the House for consideration of amendments.

House Bill 1229: The bill says those who submit to background checks should pay for their associated costs.

Republicans blasted the bill. Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, said requiring people to pay fees for rights that are protected by the Constitution is akin to paying a poll tax.

However, Denver Democratic Sen. Mike Johnston reminded colleagues that there are plenty of rights where fees are put in place.

Sen. Andy Kerr of Lakewood was the only Democrat to vote against the bill, which passed 19-16. The bill now heads to the governor’s desk.

Guns: Two bills were killed by Senate sponsors Guns continues from Page 1

Lakewood Democratic Sen. Andy Kerr voted against a bill that would require would-be gun buyers to pay for their own background checks. Kerr said he wanted to compromise, saying that if background checks are required on every transaction, then the state should help with the costs.

Kerr also said he would have voted against a bill that would have placed liability on gun makers and sellers of semiautomatic weapons, under certain circumstances. But Kerr said he would have supported a bill that would have banned concealed weapons from being carried on college campuses.

Both of those bills were killed by their Senate sponsors on March 8, before being debated.

Kerr said he made some “tough votes” but feels good about his party’s efforts to do whatever it can to prevent more bloodshed.

“At the end of the day, all of the proposals were Harvey well-intended,” he said. “I think they all are issues of gun safety and violence in our communities. Some I disagreed with, but the process worked.”

Jahn concurred.

“I always feel comfortable with the votes I’ve made,” Jahn said. “I’ve spent a lot of time going over and over and over (the bills). I don’t vote, ever, on sound bites.

Something may sound good, but I have to know in policy how does it work.”

But one Republican lawmaker believes that Democrats could find themselves in big trouble in 2014.

“I think the quote that will come out of this is ‘Tora, Tora, Tora,’” said Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, playing off Tochtrop’s comments. “That’s the only thing that will result from this. You won’t stop criminals … but you will wake up a sleeping giant, I think that’s non-debatable.”

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

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.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

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.

Don’t rush into change for libraries

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 adveren tise widely, request letters of interest and resumes, interview candidates in realful life panel environments, and carefully have consider qualifications focused only on is, communication skills, not political views.

Then we forward our recommendation ilcoxto the county commissioners, who have Rock

ment

always accepted them. It is not unusual 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

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?

We invite all citizens with an interest in the preservation of a system that has clearly worked well both for our libraries and our community to attend the commissioners’ meeting at 1:30 p.m. March 26 in the Commissioner Hearing Room, 100 Third St., Castle Rock.

This guest column was submitted by Douglas County Libraries Board of Trustees members Robert Morris, president; David Starck, vice president; Demetria Heath, secretary; Bob McLaughlin, treasurer; Amy Hunt; Mark Weston; and Barbara Dash.

Democrats’ gun-control bills do nothing for safety

The problem is that none of the five bills passed by the Senate will do that either.

Like all Coloradans, I was shocked and outraged by the mass killings that occurred in recent months in Aurora and in Connecticut.

We all want to see guns kept from mentally unstable people, and we all want

our schools and malls and other public places to be safe from violent intruders.

But the state’s Democratic lawmakers have misread this public outrage to press an extreme anti-gun agenda that makes no meaningful contribution to public safety.

Probably the most outrageous bill in the package of proposals soon to land on Gov. Hickenlooper’s desk is HB 1224, which prohibits the sale or transfer of gun magazines that hold more than 15 rounds — or can be readily modified to hold more than 15 rounds.

The language of the bill effectively outlaws ALL gun magazines for semiautomatic firearms because they all can be modified for more than 15 rounds of ammunition.

Each of the five remaining gun bills now going to the Governor has similar harmful, hidden consequences that go far beyond

George and Marianne McCauley of Highlands Ranch would like to announce the upcoming wedding of their son, Daniel, to Maureen Oakley, daughter of Tom and the late Mary Oakley of Chicago.

McCauley and Mo are a Denver love story, which began when they met over the fish counter at the Cherry Creek Whole Foods.

They will be married on June 15 at the Lyons Farmette and the wedding weekend will be spent with family and friends at The Boulderado Hotel.

The happily-ever-after couple will reside in The Highlands with their much loved Kingsley and Tucker.

anything reasonable people would connect to public safety. Only one bill, SB 195, prohibiting online safety training courses for concealed carry permits, earned bipartisan support.

A new poll by Public Opinion Strategies shows that most Coloradans do not think these bills make them safer. The evidence is that the public has not been fooled by the attempt to rush these bills though the Legislature without adequate debate and consideration of unintended consequences.

We can only hope that the governor is listening to the good citizens of Colorado.

If he is the sensible moderate he claims to be, he will veto these three House bills.

Scout racks up rare achievement Highlands Ranch boy is one in 14,000

By Ryan Boldrey

‘Don’t give up. If you can put your mind to it, you can do it. Just don’t think about it too much.’

Trey Sieradski

rboldrey@ourcolorado news.com

Ben Franklin Academy fifth-grader Trey Sieradski has had his eye on the spotlight for some time. At age 7, Trey saw a Cub Scout being honored on television for earning all 106 academic and athletic belt loops and pins.

The young Scout’s response? “I’m going to do that,” he said to Cynthia Sieradski.

After completing his time as a Cub Scout, Trey crossed over at a formal ceremony to become a Boy Scout on Feb. 23. He didn’t do so without first accomplishing his goal.

“I’ve never come across it before,” said Mark Borchert, Trey’s Cubmaster for the past four years in Pack 872.

“But the fact he got them all

doesn’t surprise me at all.”

When Borchert talked to the Denver Area Council of Boy Scouts, though, they were beyond surprised. Out of 14,000 active Cub Scouts in the Denver metro area, Trey is the only one who has achieved the ambitious feat.

Trey’s time as a Cub Scout has been interesting from the word go. When his dad, Mike Sieradski, spent a year in India on a consulting assignment, Trey got to go along and spent his year as a Tiger Cub, scouting alongside boys from Hong Kong, Germany and South Africa.

His field trips included journeys to the Presidential Palace, the ancient ruins in

Lodhi Gardens and the Sariska Tiger Reserve.

“It was pretty fun there,” he said.

“There were kids from all over the world and there weren’t many people (in scouting) there, so we got a lot more hands-on experience.”

Once back in the U.S., Trey started chasing after his goal, racking up belt loops in horseback riding, BB shooting, physical fitness, skateboarding, marbles and more.

While he said baseball was his favorite athletic loop to get, he was excited to get the opportunity to try gymnastics and archery as well — two sports he wouldn’t have otherwise

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,” Summers 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

learned can be so much fun.

To earn a loop, one must complete three different components, someMea of which include participation, others that are edu-sup cational, and others that involve going to a game —By V such as the Colorado Ava-vvela lanche game Trey attended en route to his ice hockey Af loop.

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 in-state tuition rates at Colorado colleges and universities has finally been passed by the General Assembly.

The passage of Senate Bill 33 Report 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 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 bright minds at stake ...”

Capitol

“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.

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A Republican-sponsored bill that would have designated a letter grade-based system for school performance, as well as sped up the process by which underperforming schools are reviewed by the State Board of Education, died in a legislative committee on March 6.

Rep. Kevin Priola of Henderson, the sponsor of House Bill 1172, sought to move away from terminology that is used to describe accreditation categories for public schools, toward more “plain language.”

Priola wanted to simplify the language by using the same letter grade-based system for schools as is used to determine how students perform in class, replacing the “Greek” terms that currently are used to describe how schools are performing.

“Unless you are actually in the know in the education establishment, those terms don’t really mean anything to you,” Priola told members of the House Education Committee during testimony that preceded the March 6 vote. “But … A through F actually means something to most people who

have gone through education.”

The Board of Education, under the Education Accountability Act of 2009, applies terms like “Accredited with Distinction” to school districts that are meeting or exceeding educational expectations.

At the same time, if a school is not meeting expectations, the board can apply an “Accredited with Turnaround Plan” tag, with the goal of getting the school back on track, in hopes of avoiding corrective actions like loss of accreditation.

Opponents said letter grades would oversimplify how schools are performing.

What concerned opponents the most was the part of Priola’s bill where parents could lobby the Board of Education to speed up the process by which local school boards take corrective action on schools.

Under current law, if public schools are in the bottom two performance categories, they have up to five years to make progress before the board is required to take corrective action.

But Priola’s bill would have given parents more power to petition the Board to speed up the corrective action process, if they had students at schools that have been in the bottom two performance categories for two consecutive years.

The bill failed on a party-line vote of 7-6 in the Democratic-controlled committee.

Smooth way to fight cancer St. Baldrick’s fundraiser rakes in $22,200

FREE Estimages & Inspections

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com With a record $22,200 in the bank to combat childhood cancer and the largest turnout to date, one might say Lansdowne Arms’ St. Baldrick’s Foundation Fundraiser has gotten bigger and balder by the year.

The seventh annual head-shaving gala packed the Highlands Ranch bar on Sunday morning, dusting dozens of previously hairy heads and bringing out folks from numerous neighboring communities, each with a story.

Perhaps none was more heartwarming than that of Highlands Ranch teenager Lauren Alfino, a 16-year-old Mountain Vista High School honors student who was diagnosed with lymphoma in December and was released from the hospital the morning of the event. More than 40 family members and friends came out to support her, while 11 of them shaved their heads, raising more than $10,000 in the process.

“It’s just awesome to see how many people are supporting me and are inspired and want to help,” she said. “It’s definitely comforting and it helps with the treatment because there are a lot of bad things that happen with the chemo.”

Lauren, who swims for the Golden Eagles, had qualified for the state meet early in the season, but instead of competing, she spent the time in the hospital, watching on her computer.

She said her cancer is nothing but a “pause” for her, and she is determined

Blair was shaving her head in honor of her 6-year-old friend Delaney, who is fighting childhood lymphoma. Photos by Ryan Boldrey to beat it. She expects to be back in the pool with her team next season.

“This is only going to make me stronger,” she said. “I won’t let it control my life.”

event, while Floyd’s Barbershop sent three stylists across the street to give close to 50 people the Mr. (and Ms.) Clean look, doing three at a time on an elevated stage.

Those sporting a new do at the end of the day included 19-year-old Alexia Blair of Highlands Ranch — who shaved her head for her 6-year-old friend Delaney, a leukemia patient — and Val Clark, 59, of Centennial, who went bald to show her “love and solidarity” for a handful of friends who are fighting cancer.

A half-dozen Castle View High School football players also took to the stage, motivated by senior Brooks Brousley, who rallied his teammates to support a cause he has been behind since he was in eighth grade. Brooks’ mother, Dana Brousley, is the general manager at Lansdowne and has helped organize the event for the last five years.

“I have family, little cousins that have passed away (from cancer), and my mom did, too,” Dana said. “It’s great to see the boys come out and really care about something like this, and raise some money. I’m really proud of them.”

REAL ESTATE AGENT SPOTLIGHT OF THE WEEK What is your specialty and what does that mean for the peo- cause they didn’t act quickly. Usually, it only happens once. It Heather Blake makes me sad when a client misses out on a great house! ple you work with?

CRS, CLHMS

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 sent live here! I notice it and when clients give Ms.)are moving here, they always comon anment 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!

e endHow long have you worked in Real EsAlex-tate? who I began my career in property manager-oldment in 1992 and have been a licensed Realnt — tor since 1998! Wow! 15 years, I’m starting to date who soli-myself! o are

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-

Ensuring a home’s primary entryway is welcoming and well-groomed is one way homeowners can improve curb appeal

nance varieties that appeal to buyers who want good vibrant plants but might not want to put in much work into the garden.

When selling a home, homeowners can employ a number of tactics to improve their home’s curb appeal. ■ Metro Creative Services

Author gets personal Jennifer Weiner opines about writing, literary chauvinism

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com Jennifer Weiner, best-selling author of “Good in Bed,” “Little Earthquakes,” and “Then Came You,” among others, made a rare public appearance March 7 when she stopped off at the Highlands Ranch Mansion to hang out with 300 of her “closest fans.”

Weiner, who only makes about a half dozen appearances in a year when, as with this stop, she doesn’t 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

New York Times best-selling author Jennifer Weiner signs a copy of one of her books for Aurora resident Kaylene Case March 7 at the Highlands Ranch Mansion. 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 Princ-

Close to 300 people showed up March 7 at the Highlands Ranch Mansion to meet best-selling author Jennifer Weiner and listen to her talk. Tattered Cover helped sponsor the event with Douglas County Libraries, and all 10 of Weiner’s books were for sale.

eton 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 the same way if I was a student there now.”

Weiner ended her trip to Highlands Ranch by taking questions from the almost allfemale crowd and encouraged writers in the audience to stay authentic and not to chase trends.

“Readers can smell what is authentic and what is coattail writing,” she said.

The latest issue of 5280 magazine names the Best New Restaurants of 2013.

The special restaurants (and I have no argument with these choices) are The Populist at 3163 Larimer St. (www.thepopulistdenver.com), Sassafras American Eatery at 2637 W. 26th Ave (www.sassafrasamericaneatery.com), Uncle at 2215 W. 32nd Ave. (www.uncledenver.tumblr. com), Oak at Fourteenth at 1400 Pearl St. in Boulder, (www.oakatfourteenth. com), The Universal at 2911 W. 38th Ave. (www.theuniversaldenver.blogspot.com), Amerigo Delicatus Restaurant & Market at 2449 Larimer St., (www.amerigodelicatus.com), Spuntino at 2639 W. 32nd Ave. (www.spuntinodenver.com) and The Squeaky Bean at 1500 Wynkoop St. (www. thesqueakybean.com).

Just about the Bee Gees

“It’s only words, and words are all I have, to take your heart away.” Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb.

The Australian Bee Gees Show captures the look, the sound and the personality that defines one of the most successful and adored acts in musical history. This five-piece band has evolved to become the definitive live celebration of four decades of wonderful music written by the Brothers Gibb.

The Australian Bee Gees Show has played to capacity crowds around the world, cementing their reputation as exceptional performers and the world’s leading Bee Gees show. Their greatest hits are performed in a live concert setting with state-of-the-art sound, lighting, video screens, onstage mannerisms, speaking voices, and soaring high notes and harmonies capturing the essence of the Bee Gees.

For one night only, be a part of the magic of one of the greatest bands of all time covering such classic songs as Stayin’ Alive, Night Fever, You Should Be Dancin’, Nights on Broadway, Massachusetts, Tragedy, Lonely Days, To Love Somebody, How Deep Is Your Love, Jive Talkin’, Grease, plus many, many more.

This concert benefits Colorado Public Television 12 and is sponsored by KOSI, 101.1-FM, Out Front Colorado, Prime Time for Seniors, 50plus Marketplace News, The Curtis, Presidential Worldwide Transportation and Marlowe’s restaurant.

The show starts at 8 p.m. March 15; doors open at 7 at the Paramount Theatre.

Tickets are $39-$49 (Golden Circle) plus service charges and are available at www. tickethorse.com or by calling 866-4616556. Tickets also are available at www. cpt12.org or by calling 303-296-1212.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Littleton is scheduled to open March 22 in the Aspen Grove Shopping Center, but it’s already announced it is adding 32 beers, doubling its already hefty brew menu (view the entire beer menu at http://drafthouse.com/ blog/entry/32_more_tasty_brews_added_ to_the_alamo_line_up).

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema combines dinner, drinks, films and events, all under one roof. The theaters have been heralded for their unique programming events and high exhibition standards, earning accolades like “Best Theater Ever” (Time magazine) and “the coolest theater in the world” (Wired).

‘Ramp It Up’ offers glimpse of culture Native American skateboard life examined at museum

IF YOU GO “Ramp It Up” runs through April 28 at the Littleton Museum, 6028 S. Gallup St. Hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays; 1 to 5 p.m.

Sundays. Admission is free. 303-795-3950. The display was previously shown at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian in New York and National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C.

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Motion, speed, creativity, courage — all are words connected with skateboard culture generally. We see our local kids weaving through the city sidewalks, streets and sometimes, skate parks and hear about championship competitions.

The new Smithsonian exhibit at the Littleton Museum through April 28, “Ramp It Up,” focuses on a particular, perhaps lesserknown segment: skateboard culture in Native America.

The exhibit is installed with the museum’s usual solid skills in showing material in its best possible light. Brilliant fuchsia panels are contrasted with blue, rose, gold and more colors to show off the colorfully painted individual decks.

It features 20 skate decks — many with unique designs — made by Native-run companies; related, visually stunning works by contemporary artists; and archival video segments showing Native skaters.

The pieces fit together into a connected scene, especially in the West, of huge, imaginatively designed concrete skateboard parks, filled with lean, fit young men zipping up, over and across barriers, railings, steps and more. Individuals mentioned are identified with ancestry, which often cross-

es between tribes.

There is recognition of growth from surfing by indigenous Hawaiians as a starting point. “Sidewalk surfing” is referred to and there are stories of Native skater/surfers in the California coastal towns.

Todd Harder (Creek ancestry) is one leader singled out. An experienced tradi-

tional dancer, he was also a skater, then became an organizer and vendor of skateboard paraphernalia. He is quoted as noticing young people at ceremonials who were “too cool” to participate in dances. They could be interested in skating and along the way, could learn about cultural history from him at the same time. He started Na-

tive Skates in 2004 to “provide affordable skateboards that reflected Native pride and culture.”

He collaborated with Jim Murphy, of Wounded Knee Skates, to form Nibwaakaawin (wisdom), the first Native nonprofit “dedicated to fostering creativity, building courage, enabling cultural identity and pride and promoting non-violent and healthy physical activity through skateboarding.”

Earlier Wounded Knee skateboards exhibited also make political statements on individually painted decks In 2007, there was an “All Nations Skate Jam” in Albuquerque and for several years, there was a “Pueblo Revolt Redaz,” with improvised jumps, at Santa Ana Pueblo. In 2011, the Santa Ana Community Wellness Center built a skate park.

Pleasing features of this exhibit are some life-sized photographs of young skaters and a series of bright contemporary paintings integrated with the copy and smaller photos that bridge the distances between two worlds in the adventurous way the skaters do.

She may come across as “Backwoods Barbie,” but behind that blond bimbo image, there’s a mind like a steel trap. Dolly Parton wrote lyrics and music for “9 to 5: The Musical” to Patricia Resnick’s book, which includes a blond and buxom Parton-like Doralee Rhodes (Alison Mueller) as one of a trio of women who take over the company that has looked down on them.

The other two are a feisty Violet Newstead (Margie Lamb) and new girl Judy Bernly (Lisa Finnerty).

The nemesis of this testy trio — and of the other employees in the cast of 19 — is one Franklin Hart Jr., played with broad comic strokes by the skilled Seth Caikowski. All bring fine voices and stage presence to this mu-

THROUGH MARCH 13

IF YOU GO “9 to 5: the Musical” plays through March 24 at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., downtown Littleton. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays and 6:30 p.m.

March 17. Tickets: $20-$40, 303-794-2787, townhallartscenter.com. sical, based on the 1980 movie of the same name.

The musical opened in Los Angeles in 2008 and on Broadway in 2009, where it had a short run, followed by national and British tours.

Alarm clocks ring as each character gets ready to face another day at Consolidated Industries, under Hart’s thumb.

Parton’s music is bright, bouncy and not well-known. It’s fun to hear.

The theme is feminist, but not overpoweringly so.

Kelly Kates’ choreography is creative and suits the tongue-in-cheek story throughout. Tina Anderson’s set

works quite smoothly through many changes, managed by the cast.

Hart’s one fan is assistant Roz, nicely played by Jona Alonzo, who issues orders, takes notes on others and reports to him.

The intrepid trio manages to send her off on a trip and capture Hart at his home.

Act II finds Violet ensconced as the first female CEO, Hart still missing and the discovery, via Doralee, that he’s been cooking the books and stealing from Consolidated. Employee Joe, who is sweet on Violet, offers to use his accounting skills to help make a case against Hart.

Through a number of well-designed song-and-dance production numbers and some over-the-top goofy plot switches, things get sorted out. Christopher Willard’s firm hand as director keeps things moving to a rousing finale.

The audience cheers various little victories along the way. Suitable for older kids as well as their parents.

Urban Almanac

Erica McNeish and Laurie Smith are both food lovers and food “professionals,” 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 (including two award winners) and her work has been featured in magazines including Gourmet, 5280, Sunset and Cowboys and Indians.

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, such as Savor, Food and Wine, Sunset, 5280 and Cowboys and Indians.

“We’re excited to be able to express our passion for the food, farmers and foragers of the Front Range!” said McNeish.

Pulling a rabbit out of his head Elwood P. Dowd and Harvey appear on Englewood stage

IF YOU GO “Harvey” plays through March 17 at Hampden Hall in the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 2:30 p.m. Sunday.

Tickets cost $20, with discounts for seniors, students and military. 303-968-4157, goodnessgracious.org.

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews. com

Playwright Mary Coyle Chase grew up poor, Irish, Catholic in Denver — listening to Irish myths told by her mother, which included tales of pookas, imaginary beings. She worked on her play “Harvey” for a number of years while a Rocky Mountain News journalist, a mother, and through a series of other jobs.

After numerous revisions, it opened on Broadway in November 1944, and war-weary audiences loved it so much, it ran for over four years.

It won the Pulitzer Prize for drama and has been an American favorite for more than 70 years, including a beloved film starring Jimmy Stewart. usic, Its gentle humor engages to7323

day’s audiences as they let the imagination take over for a couple of hours. A production by Goodness! Gracious! Productions of Douglas County plays through March 17 at Hampden Hall in Englewood. The new company was started late in 2012 by Marilyn Spittler.

Kevin Monahan plays the part of sweetly simple Elwood P. Dowd with a continuous smile and just the right soft voice. “Let me give you one of my cards,” he says as he meets people and introduces his friend Harvey, a six foot, one and one half inch white rabbit. ”If you want to call me, use that number — not the other one — it doesn’t work.”

His sister Veta (Suzanna Wellens) and her daughter Myrtle Mae (Genevieve Moreland) have

come to live with him and are trying to get acquainted in town.

They are so embarrassed by the constant presence of the imaginary friend that they decide to have Elwood committed to a sanitarium.

Mistaken identity, missing people, townspeople, a six-foot rabbit and sanitarium staff flow in and out smoothly due to Scott Bellot’s careful direction.

The older women’s costumes,

by Kelli Krieschel of Red Rocks Community College, are colorful, carefully detailed over-the-top 1940s numbers, with flared longish skirts and big shoulder pads.

Actors come to the play with varying levels of acting experience and there is some overacting, but on the whole, this is a sweet, engaging production, suitable for all but the tiniest folks.

While Elwood considers Harvey to be a pooka, an Irish imaginary being, he is much kinder than legendary pookas one reads about. We would be most happy to meet him!

Before touring, the collective has a multi-week residency in San Francisco.

Mountain Vista boys top Cherokee Trail in double OT

By Jim Benton

rom-jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com 8, is and DENVER — Mountain Vista boys basketerlinball coach Bob Wood knew his team would be in trouble if the game lasted any longer. per- Graham Smith was tired but his layup s anhelped to end a long night for the Golden sig-Eagles. esta” Mountain Vista posted an emotionnownally draining 78-76 double-overtime Class 5A quarterfinal state playoff victory over pres-Cherokee Trail on March 8 at the Denver iqueColiseum.

The Golden Eagles (23-2) advanced to the Final Four for the first time in school history and will face Eaglecrest (21-5) in an 8:30 p.m. semifinal game March 15 at the Coors Events Center in Boulder.

Mountain Vista had a chance to win at the end of regulation against Cherokee Trail and at the conclusion of the first overtime, but the third time was a charm for the Golden Eagles.

Fairview was ahead 76-75 when Mountain Vista employed a slip-screen play to grab the lead. Smith, off a pass from Amir Qadri, made a layup with 14.2 seconds on the clock to give Mountain Vista a onepoint advantage.

“It was the same play we ran the other night,” Smith said. “I was expecting the pass. I shot it a little early but he came at me so quick that I figured I might as well shoot it.

“I got hit really hard so I’m just glad it went in. I was tired but the adrenaline just makes you keep going.”

Mountain Vista coach Bob Wood told his players not to hesitate.

“I said, this is it, we’re going to win it now,” he said. “We decided to do it right away because if we missed it, we’re still behind and the only chance we would have is to foul and hope they miss some free throws. We went early to take the lead.

“That was a big play and a nice play from

He is a guy that finishes plays well. It wasn’t like it was an easy basket, we didn’t get a breakaway layup.”

After Smith’s basket, Fairview’s Tyler Larkin had an apparent basket wiped out by a traveling call and Mountain Vista’s Damani Repress sank one of two free throws with 2.7 seconds showing to give the Golden Eagles a 78-76 lead.

Cherokee Trail’s Drick Bernstine grabbed the rebound after Repress’ missed free throw and threw the ball toward the basket

at the other end. His desperation shot was on line but fell just short.

“I watched that last shot, I was so scared,” Wood said. “If that would have went in, I would’ve said it must not have been meant to be. We’ve done everything we can.

“Thank God we won in that overtime because I don’t think we could have survived another one. We hung in there good because we were in such bad foul trouble.”

Smith, Jake Pemberton and Elijah Valdez each had four fouls and Mitch Carter and Chandler Wiscombe had fouled out of the game.

Pemberton and Valdez each had 19 points to share game-scoring honors in the game that saw 25 lead changes in the second half.

“These kids have done a great job,” Wood said. “They don’t give up. They always play until the end and they always think we’re going to win.

“We’ve gotten better. Two years ago we were in the (Sweet) 16, last year we were in the (Great) Eight and now we’re in the Final Four. Eaglecrest is every bit as good as Fairview. Who cares? We’ll play whoever is there and I’m sure they would too.”

Highlands Ranch girls going back to Final Four Falcons coach Jarocki making 14th trip to semifinals

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com DENVER — If experience is a good teaching tool, then the Highlands Ranch girls basketball team should be well schooled in its Final Four game against Arapahoe.

Highlands Ranch (21-4) will play Arapahoe (23-2) in a Class 5A state high school semifinal game at 8:30 p.m. March 14 at the Coors Events Center in Boulder.

It will be the 14th time that Highlands Ranch’s Caryn Jarocki will coach a team in the semifinals of the state tournament.

“We trust her,” senior center Madison Montgomery said.

“We know she knows what’s going on, how to keep us calm, get us ready and prepare for games.”

Jarocki, who has won seven state championships at Highlands Ranch, realizes the challenge that the balanced, deep and defensive-oriented Warriors will present.

“They are a solid ball club,” Jarocki said.

“They like to pressure you and play good defense. And, they have some good bigs too. We’re hoping we can spread them out a little on that big court at CU.” This will be the third consecutive Final Four appearance for Highlands Ranch.

Highlands Ranch advanced to the Boulder with a 57-43 quarterfinal triumph over Ralston Valley on March 7 at the Denver Coliseum.

The Falcons were down early but played good defense, rebounded and ran crisp cuts in an 18-point second quarter that helped

gain a 35-21 halftime lead.

Lujan, a 5-foot-10 senior who led the Falcons with 15 points, scored 13 points and had five of her game-high 11 rebounds in the first half. She also finished with three assists and two blocked shots.

“Lately we’ve been coming out in the second half, really saving ourselves for the second half,” Lujan said.

“That’s what we talked about, playing all four quarters, showing up at game time instead of showing up like a hour later like for the third quarter. Our defense really picked up and that’s how we pulled away from Ralston Valley.”

Highlands Ranch had an 18-point lead early in the third quarter but the Mustangs trimmed the Falcons’ advantage to 10 points with 5:30 remaining in the game when Montgomery scored six straight points, four after getting offensive rebounds.

“Her offensive rebounding and putbacks saved our butts,” Jarocki said. “We’ve been asking her to do that all year so I’m glad it finally showed up.”

Mongtomery wound up with 11 points and seven rebounds with her six points in that fourth-period flurry helping to stave off any Ralston Valley comeback hopes.

“That was pretty important because we had 10 turnovers in the first half and that accounted for 11 of their points,” Montgomery said. “Half of their points were from our mistakes. So we just need to clean up, focus, follow our shots and the rest would come.”

Highlands Ranch, which hit 56.5 percent of its field goal attempts in the first half, shot 48.9 percent for the game and outrebounded the Mustangs 37-34.

“Rebounding was really a key,” Jarocki said. “We sort of didn’t do that much in the third quarter. We did that in the second and we played defense in the second quarter.”

Ralston Valley finished its season with a 23-3 record.

Coach takes Valor to ‘old stomping grounds’ DeGray played two years at Colorado

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com DENVER — Ronnie DeGray will return to his old stomping grounds.

DeGray, Valor Christian’s first-year boys coach who played two seasons of basketball at the University of Colorado, will guide the Eagles in a Class 4A semifinal state playoff game against Broomfield at CU’s Coors Events Center at 4 p.m. March 15.

“I’m going home, going to my old stomping grounds. It’s going to be fun,” DeGray

said.

Valor (21-4) will be making its second straight trip to the Final Four.

Last season, Lewis-Palmer defeated the Eagles, 70-59, in the semis and DeGray will have Valor ready for its encore appearance in Boulder “Broomfield plays really hard, they are well-coached and we will work on them all week, study film and maybe find a couple chinks in their armor and see what we can do,” DeGray said.

Valor started fast and held off Sand Creek, 54-46, on March 9 in a Class 4A Great 8 game at the Denver Coliseum to earn the ticket to Boulder.

The victory avenged a 76-61 loss to the Scorpions earlier this season.

Valor forged ahead 22-6 late in the first quarter and led 28-17 at halftime as Sand Creek made only one of 17 3-point attempts in the first 16 minutes.

Sand Creek pulled to within three points early in the fourth quarter when Garrett Baggett drilled a 3-point shot.

Baggett, who paced the Eagles with 16 points, scored nine points in the fourth quarter as the Scorpions were never able to get closer than five points the remainder of the game.

“The one thing we’ve been working on with Garrett all season is you’ve got to block out the shots that you miss and stay in the game,” DeGray said. “He’s a shooter. You have to always believe that you are going to make the next shot. He hit a big three for

us.”

Valor outscored Sand Creek 16-10 over the last four minutes and made eight of 10 free throws to short circuit any Scorpion victory hopes.

“We played this team before and we told the kids that we have to sustain their run,” DeGray said. “They were going to make a run to get back into the game. That’s what they did. We stayed strong and focused.

“This time we sustained their run. Last time we were up and they made a run on us and we never bounced back.”

Chase Foster, the Eagles’ leading scorer, had double-double in the quarterfinal triumph. The 6-foot-7 junior had 11 points and 11 rebounds for Valor, which outrebounded the Scorpions 43-32.

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS ROUNDUP Valor assistant coach let go

Daniel Pitman, an assistant hockey coach at Valor Christian, was fired after the Colorado Springs Gazette first revealed he sent letters to coaches in Texas inviting players to consider attending Valor.

Pitman’s letter said Valor had a billeting program in which a student lives with a host family while attending school. Valor Athletic Director Rod Sherman dismissed Pitman after the Colorado High School Activities Association informed Sherman of the letter.

“Daniel Pitman is no longer employed at Valor. He was dismissed Feb. 27 once the Valor administration became aware of the e-mail which he sent regarding a potential billeting program,” Sherman said.

“The Valor administration has had no conversations regarding the commencement of such a program and has no plans for this type of program. Valor does not allow non-Valor students to participate on any of our Valor athletic teams. We have been in conversations with CHSAA and have worked in full cooperation with them regarding this incident.”

ThunderRidge girls drop rematch with Arapahoe Grizzlies fall to Warriors in Great Eight

By By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com DENVER — Arapahoe used accurate free throw shooting to eliminate ThunderRidge, 54-45, on March 7 in a Great Eight game at the Denver Coliseum.

The game was a rematch of last year’s Sweet 16 game, won 44-43 by ThunderRidge. The Warriors did beat the Grizzlies, 50-36, earlier this season in a preseason non-league contest.

“We usually shoot free throws with rim reducers,” Arapahoe point guard Kera Riley said. “We shoot pressure free throws all the time and if we miss we are on the line running. We shoot at least 20 in between drills. We’ve gotten really good.

“Last year we lost to ThunderRidge because of free throws. We said we were never going to do that again.”

Arapahoe, a team that shoots 64 percent for the season at the free throw line, made 27-of-36 attempts from the charity

stripe compared to 12-of-18 for the Grizzlies.

The Warriors made 8-of-10 free throws in the final 1:51 to help stave off a comeback attempt by ThunderRidge, which trailed most of the game after a slow start.

A 3-point basket by Madison Ward gave ThunderRidge its first lead at 36-35 with 6:51 remaining in the game. The Grizzlies led 37-36 when Riley, a 5-foot-6 senior, stepped up.

She nailed a 3-point basket to push Arapahoe ahead and scored 12 points in the Warriors’ 18-8 run that sealed the victory.

She was six-for-six at the foul line in the last two minutes of the game.

Riley had a team-high 14 points for the Warriors.

ThunderRidge, which shot only 29.4 percent in the first half and fell behind by 10 points, ended its season with a 17-9 record.

Senior guard Brianna Troop, scoreless in the first half, revitalized the Grizzlies with her second-half play.

She scored all of her game-high 17

points after halftime.

“Bree played a heck of a second half,” ThunderRidge coach Bill Bradley said.

“Seventeen points in a half is pretty dang good.

“In the second half we played less timid. We got back and then all of a sudden we started playing timid again. Their kids made the plays. They might not have made their free throws in all the games they were up by 20 but in a close game tonight, they made the shots and that’s what counts.”

ThunderRidge was 4-7 before starting play in the Continental League this season and Bradley was appreciative of the effort his team made to become a Great Eight team.

“I’ve coached for 23 years and I told the kids I had one other season that was as rewarding as this season for my relationship with the kids and the kids’ relationship with each other,” Bradley said.

“It was probably 15 or 16 years ago when my team overcame some weaknesses and achieved greatness in what they were able to do.

“That was like this year’s team. I’m so proud of this team. It’s so rewarding.”

Littleton junior right-hander Chris Jansky pitched a no-hitter in the Lions’ seasonopening 3-0 baseball win over Denver North.

He struck out 13 batters and walked one.

Legend, the Class 5A runner-up last season, opened with an 8-7 win over Columbine. Bobby Dalbec smacked a three-run homer, Adam Ausmus and Mickey Peterson had solo home runs and winning pitcher Remy Peyton cracked a two-run double for the Titans.

Soccer season in swing

Kate Meyer, Jamie Hampton and Charlotte Hume scored goals as Chaparral opened the girls soccer season with a 3-1 victory over Grandview.

Littleton blanked Dakota Ridge, 3-0, with Rachel Ericson, Lindsey Payson and Lanie Sumlin getting the Lions goals. Freshman Dakota Wendell scored for Rock Canyon in a 1-1 tie with Chatfield.

Doherty beat Heritage 1-0, ThunderRidge lost a 1-0 match to Columbine, Palmer Ridge turned back Highlands Ranch 4-1 and Legacy topped Legend, 3-1.

All-star rosters set

Rosters were revealed for The Show, the annual high school all-star basketball game that will be held April 6 at the Pepsi Center.

Valor Christian’s Chase Foster will play for the White team in the boys game.

Chaparral’s Katie Longwell and Jennifer Vigil of Lutheran will be on the girls Blue team while Madison Montgomery and Kelsey Wainright of Highlands Ranch will be teammates with ThunderRidge’s Brianna Throop and Taylor Williams on the White team.
