Kids fired up for mini academy Littleton department shares lessons on safety, teamwork

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com They learn about smoke, they learn about fire, they learn about safety and buckets and hoses. But most of all, they learn about teamwork.

“Every step of the way, your crew mem-

ber is backing you up,” Littleton firefighter Lindsey Miller told the group of kids who were excitedly answering his questions in exchange for small treats.

The occasion was the Littleton Fire Rescue Mini Fire Academy at the department’s training facility, open to all kids who live within LFR’s coverage area. They learn about bike safety, how and when to call 911, basic first aid and much more.

“Our goal is to teach safety, and to give kids a glimpse of what it’s like to be a fire-

fighter,” said Katie Moore, LFR’s life-safety educator.

Some of the kids learned a little about themselves, as well. Ryan, for example, at first wanted absolutely nothing to do with climbing the fire-escape stairs to the second floor of the burn tower. But firefighter Mark Rogers coaxed him into it, promising to be there every step of the way.

Developer tears down Willowcroft Manor Historic property gives way for dozens of new homes

Thanks to a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Littleton Public Schools is offering free meals at both Field Elementary and East Elementary throughout the summer. As part of the National School Lunch Program, all children are able to have both breakfast and lunch from Monday to Friday.

“Some people have been coming here for years and years,” says Jeanne King, Littleton Public Schools food service director and a 32-year employee of the district.

“Even day-care providers in their homes, they can come down with all their kids to get lunch.”

The program also serves students in summer programs, whether by serving them in the cafeteria or packing them a sack lunch for a field trip. Anywhere from 70 to nearly 200 children are served meals every day at both schools and King would like to increase that number even more, ensuring that the schools serve to their full capacity.

The omnipresent suburban battle is being waged in the tiny town of Columbine Valley, and development company Taylor Morrison has prevailed in the first round.

In April, the town’s board of trustees approved the company’s plan to demolish the former Willowcroft Manor & Farm, 3600 W. Bowles Ave., to make way for 41 single-story patio homes and one large estate home.

Soon after, the company did just that, ending an argument about the home’s preservation.

Many tried to save the town’s only real historic property, originally the home of settler Joseph Bowles, but city leaders say the town needs the revenue that would come from development.

Local boy makes really good LHS grad got big break writing for ‘Miami Vice’

daniel pyne’s work

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com From Littleton to Stanford to “Miami Vice” to Alcatraz is not the usual route to becoming an author living in Los Angeles, but it worked for Daniel Pyne.

“I never expected to be successful,” he said while in town visiting his sister, Susan Pyne, on June 20. “I did everything I needed to do to be successful, but if I wasn’t, I would have still done it all.”

In his case, “all” is a lot.

Pyne, the son of Charles and Barbara Pyne, got his dramatic start on the stage of Arapahoe High School as a sixthgrader at East Elementary School. He played Wilbur in “Inherit the Wind.”

“It was the beginning and end of my acting career,” he said. “The whole reason I write is to be be- Pyne hind the camera.”

He went on to Euclid Middle School and graduated from Littleton High School in 1973.

“I had kind of a love/hate relationship with Littleton,” he said. During his visit, he took a trip down memory lane, otherwise known as Broadway.

“There’s this weird ghostly overlay of what used to be there, and yet a lot of it looks nothing like I remember,” he said.

“But in a way, it was great preparation for what I do. It exposed me to a combination of a classic, conservative Midwestern world and a kind of more modern, suburban, urban experience. I feel like it bridged this gap of old America and new America.”

As a kid, he wrote for the school paper and dabbled in cartoons, but prose remained his first love.

“I loved putting words together,” he said.

“Writing, for me, was more than just storytelling. … I love the lyrical part of writing.”

He recalls one Mr. Pickering, AP English teacher, as being the first person to encourage him to pursue writing. But his father, a sculptor, was skeptical.

“As a struggling artist, my dad didn’t want me to go into art,” said Pyne. “He

Daniel Pyne worked on these, and more, in various capacities: – Film and television (1998) • Alcatraz (executive pro• Doc Hollywood (1991) ducer) (2012) • Pacific Heights (1990) • Fracture (2007) • Miami Vice (1984-1988) • The Manchurian Candi• Matt Houston (1983date (2004) 1985) • The Sum of All Fears – Novels (2002) • Twentynine Palms • Any Given Sunday (1999) • A Hole in the Ground • 68 (1999) Owned by a Liar • Where’s Marlowe?

• Fifty Mice didn’t know anything about economics, so to him that sounded like a practical field.”

So off to Stanford he went with a compromise — he studied economics and creative writing. He graduated in three years and set off to find his true calling. At one point he thought he could make money writing by being a reporter.

“I was a terrible reporter,” he said. “I only liked the writing part, so I was tempted to make stuff up.”

Next he tried selling his short stories, without much success. Next up: film school.

“I thought maybe I could write movies to support myself while I got to be a better writer,” he said. “But it wasn’t like cocktail waitressing. It wasn’t just something to do while you’re waiting for something else.”

So he headed for L.A., where he realized not everyone has the same “boom or bust” mentality as Coloradans.

“Other people think sequentially,” he said. “They think you build a career rather than just have one.”

He found work as a story editor on the “Matt Houston” series in 1983. His next gig was writing the first episode after the pilot of “Miami Vice,” and things took off from there. He worked on several more crime shows and films, his favorite genre, as evidenced by his three novels.

“Everything is a mystery,” he said. “I’m really interested in the struggle for identity.”

That interest comes from Littleton, as well. He recalls living in his nice, happy suburban home but noticing the couple in the duplex down the street who were always fighting.

“I was always looking for those weird perversions of the dream,” he said.

Braille Carnival held at center for blind 120 attend Littleton event devoted to writing system

‘It gives you the chance to be independent. It gives

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Louis Braille made a surprise visit to the Colorado Center for the Blind on June 18 — extremely surprising, given that he’s been dead for 161 years.

“I’m having a great time,” said “Braille” — portrayed by center instructor Tom Anderson — while watching kids practice writing during the center’s Braille Carnival. “It’s great meeting the young children, and the adults and seniors, too.”

The event hosted 120 blind people of all ages to experience a variety of tactile and interactive learning stations. They gathered in the wood shop to learn the basics of braille using large “dots.”

In the kitchen, they chose a card, then found the utensil or appliance printed on it. There were candy prizes for successfully completing a word scramble of technology terms in the computer lab.

In the travel lab, they attempted a puzzle of the United States and learned intersection safety using Hot Wheels. There were card games, art projects and pizza for lunch.

In the library, “Braille” demonstrated how to write using a slate and stylus, essentially poking dots through a template into paper with a sharp object.

Anderson, who’s been teaching braille at the center since its inception 25 years ago. He donned an elegant purple period outfit to

you the chance to show your inner self.’

Katherine Seaton

Julie Deden, third from left, the executive director of Colorado Center for the Blind, helps students learn the basics of braille with big, colorful “dots.” Photo by Jennifer Smith explain the virtues of the writing system the real Braille invented in 1824 at the tender age of 15. Blinded by an accident with an awl at the age of 3, Braille was inspired by a method used by French soldiers as a way to write in the dark.

Today, there are 190 characters in American braille, with

combinations of dots representing letters, numbers, math symbols, contractions and even some shortcuts, like one for the letters “ou” together.

“Braille is not as difficult as people think it is,” said Anderson.

“It’s not uncommon for people to read as quickly as sighted people

do in print, even 300 or 400 words a minute. But unfortunately, many children are discouraged from learning braille.”

Julie Deden, CCB’s executive director, says there are a lot of misconceptions about the system.

People think it’s hard to learn, that it’s slow and inefficient, or that

technology can replace it.

“Let’s face it, listening does not equal literacy,” she writes, noting that kids who rely on audio don’t learn spelling and punctuation.

“Not to mention, the act of quietly holding a book in your hands and reading for the pleasure of it is a gift. Independent reading is true independence of the mind. Braille is the only thing equivalent to print for the blind.”

This is a lesson Katherine Seaton, 11, is definitely learning as she spends time at the center this summer.

“I think it’s fun, except I have had a couple of hard days,” she said. “Otherwise, I think it’s just great. It gives you the chance to be independent. It gives you the chance to show your inner self.

You leave your outside self and show everybody the inside view.

I’m not talking like getting all awkward, just to the point where you’re independent and you feel comfortable enough to ask questions.”

Panelists at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce’s 18th annual Real Estate Breakfast forecast a happy future for those in the industry, as well as home sellers and the overall south suburban economy.

“Clearly, the real estate market is recovering and strengthening, the residential market particularly,” Sterling Ranch principal Harold Smethills told an audience of about 500 gathered June 20 at Lone Tree’s Marriott Denver South.

South Metro Denver Realtor Association chairwoman Jo Pellegrino Ellis ticked off a list of positive metro-area housing statistics, which showed from May 2012 to May 2013 new listings increased by 21.8 percent, sales by 22.5 percent, median home prices by 8 percent, and the days of buyers pitching successful low-ball offers are ending.

“Total days on the market are down about 38 percent (to) about 47 days,” Ellis said, adding the average changes with location. “Some places in Highlands Ranch, they’re on the market for a number of hours.”

Everitt Real Estate Center director Eric Holsapple echoed some of Smethills’ and Ellis’ optimism, noting that 60,000 new jobs are expected in Colorado in the next year.

The bad news?

“People are making less money,” Holsapple said. “I call it the Walmarting effect.

Lower-price housing is really in demand.

Housing starts are up, but only about 50 percent of where we were in 2006-07.”

Holsapple and Ellis both said the anticipated rise in interest rates isn’t cause for fear, particularly for real estate agents.

“When interest rates start to creep up a

little bit, buyers really jump on the market,” Ellis said.

A lack of temporary housing is creating roadblocks for some potential sellers, she said.

“If my house sells in two days, will I have a place to go?” Ellis said. “Temporary housing, six-month leases, now even those are hard to find.”

Smethills said the demand for types of housing is changing, however. The Millennials, also known as Generation Y and the echo boomers, are in their prime real estate buying years, with many singles seeking smaller housing units, while aging baby boomers want homes with main-floor master bedrooms. Meanwhile, a rise in multigenerational housing requires yet another housing type, he said.

“All of this winds up making a large amount of our (existing) real estate obsolete,” Smethills said.

The availability of industrial space in the south metro area is tightening as more businesses move in, Industrial Property Group vice president Jeremy Ballenger said.

“These groups are looking for workforce and quality of life,” he said. “That’s why they’re coming here.”

Smethills advised companies looking for commercial property to carefully consider location.

“Having your commercial/industrial next to a robust, multi-level-price point housing market is very important,” he said.

“Many people want to live close to work.

They don’t want to commute.”

Ongoing and approved construction in the south metro area further supports the panelists’ good-news statements.

In Lone Tree alone, the city has so far in 2013 approved $200 million in building permits; that figure stood at $177.4 million in 2012. Both annual tallies represented a fourfold increase from the five preceding years.

Farm to table is closer than you think.

Group seeks feedback on water quality Authority charged with protecting Chatfield region

• Oct. 22 at the Kassler Treatment Plant in Waterton Canyon, 1:30 to 4 p.m.

A variety of entities have joined forces to discuss the future of the Chatfield watershed region, which runs from Chatfield Reservoir to Douglas County’s southern border, and they want everyone to weigh in.

“We need to look at the watershed now to protect it in the future,” said Amy King of Tetra Tech, the consulting company working with the Chatfield Watershed Authority, during a June 19 public meeting. CWA was established in 1984 by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment in an effort to protect water quality.

“We believe it’s essenket,”tial to have residents and local businesses involved atingwith industry profession, sheals to share vital information about the watersheds havewe serve to protect and be ous-part of the solution to ime areprove water quality and overall health of the wateres ofshed,” Julie Vlier, CWA’s wallen-ter manager, said in a press d therelease. “Some great ideas l es-are being generated by the seek-public to improve water

Member agencies include the Audubon Society, Denver Water, a variety of water and sanitation districts, several municipalities, the Denver Urban Water Partnership and many more. DUWP concerns itself with the entire South Platte River corridor, including the Barr-Milton watershed, which serves everything north of the reservoir nearly to Greeley.

King said discussion so far has focused on things

like stream restoration and mitigating the effects of wildfire — coincidentally, as she was speaking, the Lime Gulch fire raged just a few miles from Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, where the meeting was held.

Vlier explains that most pollutants are from things like deteriorating septic systems, streambank and shoreline erosion, runoff from wildfire burn areas, and livestock-management practices along environmentally sensitive stream corridors.

Larry Vickerman, director of the botanic gardens, said his particular focus is on restoration of Deer

Creek, which runs through the property.

“If you really look at Deer Creek, especially through Chatfield, it’s severely degraded,” he said. He has plans for a native seed garden, to preserve plant and tree species indigenous to the region. Non-native species are taking hold and overrunning the ecosystems, he said.

“Restoration starts with having the plant material,” he said.

Vlier said the authority wants to develop partnerships with local businesses and nonprofits like the botanic gardens to expand public outreach.

“We are very encouraged by the public interest and look forward to putting watershed objectives into action plans,” she said.

Denver Water controls o farflows in the canal, and afdingter several years of drought llionconditions it has decided to ed alet the canal stay empty for ding2013. That means the lake could dry up.

Littleton City Manager Michael Penny told the HOA that people have asked about using City Ditch water for filling Ketring, but the ditch is well below Ketring in elevation and at least a half-mile away.

“We are using all our City Ditch water for the Littleton Center. We would have to acquire more water rights — not a quick process,” he wrote in his email to the neighbors. “We really don’t have any other ideas for getting water to fill Ketring

Lake. It would be difficult to justify using water for this purpose when we need to use water for more important reasons, especially in drought years.”

Similar droughts occurred in 2002 and 2003, and again in 2011 and 2012.

In the late 1970s, Ketring Lake went temporarily dry.

SSPR manages Ketring Lake and is exploring alternative water sources, but staff is doubtful there will be a viable solution. In the meantime, it’s treating the lake to control aquatic weeds and combat the growth of algae.

The aerator in the lake helps circulate oxygen, but as the water level drops, the fish could die. SSPR will remove dead fish on a regular basis.

“Short of the influx of fresh water from rain, there’s not a lot more that can be done,” says Dave Brueggeman, SSPR’s parks maintenance supervisor.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife is responsible for stocking the lakes, which likely won’t happen this year.

Other lakes, including Sterne and Cherry Knolls, are experiencing the same issues.

“We understand the public’s feelings about the aesthetics of the lakes, and we’re trying to do what we can,” said Brueggeman.

To that end, SSPR joined Denver Water to discuss new water restrictions.

SSPR agreed to convert some low-use areas of turf to natural open space and seed them with native grasses in the fall. The water features at Gallup Gardens and the AirLife Memorial Park will remain empty, and the sprayground at Cornerstone Park will close at 6 p.m., two hours earlier than in previous years. In addition, SSPR will only plant

trees that were approved before April.

“It’s a balancing act to maintain parks and conserve water at the same time,” said Jamie Bartolomeis, SSPR spokesperson.

“Residents have come to love their green parks. However, district parks may not be as green this year. …

South Suburban is doing its best to do what it can to manage the parks and keep them looking as good as possible.”

Gun club aims to free up reservations $10 million expansion could alleviate backlog

By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com Frustrated gun enthusiasts may soon be able to reserve a firing lane at Centennial’s most popular indoor gun club.

Centennial Gun Club, 6549 S. Paris St., recently broke ground on a $10 million expanded facility that, according to CEO and general manager Richard Abramson, will house 28 additional firing lanes, 5,000 square feet of new retail space, meeting rooms, a fireplace and an outdoor patio.

With more than 1,500 members vying for time on just six indoor lanes, Abramson admits shooters of all levels find it hard to reserve space, a benefit that comes with gun club membership.

Some members have even canceled pricey memberships due to the club’s reservation backlog.

“And they just keep selling them — there’s always a line at the membership booth every weekend,” said gun enthusiast Mark Hines, who opted not to join the club at $30 per month, or pay the entry-level $347 initiation fee, until after the new facility opens.

“I just can’t see blowing that kind of cash

Castle Rock

Centennial Gun Club CEO and general manager Richard Abramson says although he’s excited about the club’s new $10 million expansion now underway in Centennial, new gun laws in the state make Colorado a less attractive place to do business. Photo by Deborah Grigsby on something I’m not going to be able to ever get in to use.”

“We’re just stuffed,” said Abramson, who estimates that once open in January 2014, the new facility should be able to accommodate 5,000 members.

But having only six lanes was not the original plan.

Abramson said plans for Centennial Gun Club date back to 2008, and included a larger, more robust operation than what opened its doors in early 2012.

“We had originally planned to have the larger facility,” explained Abramson. “But the collapse of Bear Sterns and the financial market made it difficult for just about anyone to secure large-scale financing.”

So the club started small.

“And based on what happened, it really was a good thing,” he added. “It gave us time to test our business model, provide proof of concept and to gain the confidence of lenders.”

The club’s goal now is to transform itself from a local gun store to something more like a country club.

Abramson is confident Centennial is the place to do it, saying the city is a “destination location” and has convenient access to private jet service at Centennial Airport.

Top-level club memberships will include private access to a select group of shooting lanes targeted to captains of industry and professional athletes.

Abramson said the new facility will add 21 jobs to the economy as well as improve traffic to nearby restaurants and businesses.

But while the soft-spoken retired technology executive said there are plans to consider expanding to northern Denver, he’s not sure that will happen.

“With all the changes in gun laws, it’s rather discouraging to do business in Colorado,” he said.

These businesses include convenience stores, liquor stores, gas stations, bars, restaurants and grocery stores.

LPD recruits underage volunteers, with their parents’ permission, to go into the establishments and attempt to purchase either tobacco or alcohol. If the purchase is completed, the employee, store manager or store owner can be cited or arrested for the violation.

Mastering two wheels a treat Camp teaches kids with challenges to ride bikes

s, it’s Colo-

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcolorado news.com For the past four years, 8-year-old Ryan Laughlin of Highlands Ranch had been working his way up to riding a two-wheel bike without any help.

Ryan, who is challenged with a condition called dyspraxia — a neurological disorder in which his brain has difficulty communicating muscle movement with his body — accomplished that goal last week.

One of 40 campers at the iCan Bike Camp, hosted by the Highlands Ranch Community Association’s Therapeutic Recreation Program, Ryan finally put it all together, mastering the skill in the middle of an actionfilled week.

“It’s pretty awesome,” he said with a smile, “and really sweaty.”

Ryan’s mother, Leigh Laughlin, first learned of the iCan Bike program — formerly known as Lose the Training Wheels — when Ryan was 4, and ever since has worked step for step with him on stationary and glider bikes, helping to prepare him for the camp that teaches mentally and physically challenged youths age

“For him, the challenge is putting together multiple movements, moving his arms, rotating his legs,” she said. “This program

addresses all the issues in the order the body comprehends them. I had no idea what to expect, but was hoping for the best. It’s been real nice to watch him

learn.”

The camp, in its fifth year in Highlands Ranch — the only site for iCan Bike in Colorado — offers each camper a daily 75-minute session Monday through Friday.

The kids start the week in the Eastridge gym, moving outside toward the middle to end of the week once they demonstrate the ability to ride inside. They transition through eight sizes of rollers on their bikes until they are only on two wheels. Each camper has at least one volunteer spotter within an arm’s reach at all times.

“It’s so rewarding seeing the improvement the kids make through the week,” said Matthew Vernon, a senior at Rock Canyon.

“There is just so much joy. They are all nervous and scared when they first come in. Then they start gaining confidence and really having a blast. … Most of us take riding a bike for granted.”

Vernon, one of 90 volunteers at the camp, did one session last year, but was so inspired that he signed up this year to help at all five sessions that are held each day.

“It’s volunteers like Matthew that really make it go ‘round,” said HRCA Therapeutic Recreation Supervisor Summer Aden.

“We need two to three per kid.”

as I thought,” said Ryan after returning to the ground unscathed.

Carly said the combat challenge was her favorite part. It entailed hauling a hose, swinging a plastic axe, climbing the stairs, and more tasks a firefighter might have to do in a day.

Carly’s best time was 1 minute, 26 seconds.

“I feel like you just get really energetic and stuff,” she said.

A popular attraction was LFR’s new Engine 11, the snazziest fire truck in the fleet. It boasts a number of enhanced safety features and carries 650 gallons of water and 40 gallons of foam. The water and foam mix in its hose, making it much lighter to carry than a hose full of just water. Firefighter Eric Hovart, who played chauffeur for the kids, said Engine 11 tops out at 68 mph, and the emissions are so clean you could breathe out of the tailpipe.

Engine 11 also has a siren and an air horn, and they are very loud.

The children really, really liked stepping on the buttons that set them off.

At the end of the busy day, a shower under the fire hose cooled the kids off, and there was plenty of splashing during the bucket-

An extension of the free or reduced lunches offered throughout the year, the summer lunch program was available to all schools in which more than 50 percent of the children attending got lunches free of charge or at a reduced price. At the two elementary schools where food is served, nearly 80 percent of the students receive financial assistance for their meals. The program is federally financed, with no funds coming from the school district, due to what King calls “the hunger and joblessness of the last few years.”

King has also ensured that the meals served are balanced and nutritious.

“We have five components,” she says. “Protein, fruits, vegetables, bread, and milk, almost the same as during the school year.”

Having seen the benefits of balanced meals due to the district’s similar breakfast program during the school year, King is optimistic about the effect of the summer lunches.

“Behaviors have changed both in and out of the classroom,” she says. “Their learning capabilities have improved and attendance has gotten much better.”

Breakfast is served at East Elementary from 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m., Monday through Friday, and lunch is served at both East Elementary and Field Elementary from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday. Both breakfast and lunch are also offered at Littleton High School. Meals are free for kids and $3.40 for adults.

“We do it two times a summer, and they’re my favorite two weeks of the year,” said Moore.

“I love going into the schools

too, but here we get to see their personalities and watch them learn and grow throughout the week.”

The next session is July 14-17.

It’s full already, but there’s a waiting list.

Baby sitter convicted Wrench-attack case another delay in second sex assault sees Judge draws line, Children were victimized in Douglas, Arapahoe counties

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com A 24-year-old baby-sitter has been convicted by a Douglas County jury for the sexual assault of a pre-teen Highlands Ranch boy in his care in the summer of 2010.

Justin Jefferson, of Parker, who previously pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting another preteen boy he babysat in Aurora in Jefferson 2011, is scheduled to be sentenced by 18th Judicial District Court Judge Richard Caschette on Aug. 28.

Jefferson, who was convicted in Douglas County June 14, faces a prison term ranging from 10 years to life for one count of sexual assault on a child while in a position of trust. The charge is listed as a “pattern of abuse.”

“The two victims in these cases were remarkably brave to come forward with their families and describe their assaults,” said Deputy District Attorney Chris Gallo, who prosecuted the Highlands Ranch case. “Thanks to them, no more children will be victimized. Justin Jefferson will never be alone with a helpless boy again.”

Both families that were victimized by Jefferson hired him

‘We take the safety of our community extremely seriously.’

Nancy Bushkin, Care.com vice president through the website www.Care. com. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the District Attorney’s Office ask that anyone who hired Jefferson as a baby-sitter between the years of 2009 and 2011 contact law enforcement if they suspect that he engaged in any sexual contact with their children or other inappropriate behavior.

“This case is a chilling reminder that our children are at risk if left with strangers,” said District Attorney George Brauchler. “As a parent of young children, I am determined to make sure that these predatory practices are discovered and punished. Nobody gets to victimize our children with impunity.”

According to Gallo, it took the Highlands Ranch victim two years to come forward, and the boy did so after Jefferson pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of sex assault on a child by a person in a position of trust in Arapahoe County for the 2011 incident.

Jefferson, who avoided potential prison time in the Arapahoe County case after prosecutors agreed to drop the “pattern of abuse” part of the initial charge, was in the midst of a 10-years-tolife term of sexual offender intensive supervision probation while undergoing his recent trial in Castle Rock.

He is now in custody in Doug-

las County on a no-bond hold pending his sentencing.

“We take the safety of our community extremely seriously,” Nancy Bushkin, Care.com vice president, said in a statement. “We are committed to providing families the best tools and resources to help them make an informed hiring decision and have implemented a number of safety features to help families find quality care providers.

“Equally as important to the measures we have instituted, and the tools that we have created for our members to use, is for families to exercise appropriate steps in safety, including meeting care providers before hiring them, reference checks and monitoring the relationship. We are deeply saddened by this news and this incident reinforces the need for everyone — families, communities and companies like us who service them, to be vigilant in assuring the well-being and safety of our children.”

While Bushkin added that the online organization reached out to all families with whom Jefferson had been in contact, she refused to say how many families had contracted with the baby-sitter or how long he offered his services on the site. Bushkin said Jefferson’s account was immediately closed after the first incident came to light.

sets firm hearing date in August

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews. com The arraignment of Codell Loats, accused of beating his parents with a large wrench last year in their Englewood home, has been continued until Aug. 5.

Arapahoe County District Court Judge Elizabeth Weishaupl discussed why the continued delay was necessary before grantLoats ing the request of public defender Julia Marchelya to continue the arraignment.

Loats, 29, faces charges included first-degree attempted murder in the Sept. 14 incident in the 4700 block of South Acoma Street.

When the Loats case was called for arraignment June 24 and the public defender asked for a continuance, the judge noted this was scheduled as a final arraignment and asked for reasons it should be continued.

Marchelya said she was requesting the continuance because all investigations hadn’t been completed and she wasn’t prepared to enter a plea in the case.

“We want to do the appropriate evaluations and have had difficulties locating the doctor to do

those evaluations,” Marchelya said. “I ask for the arraignment be continued until Aug. 5.”

Judge Weishaupl agreed to the request but added that, on Aug. 5, she either would hear a plea or make a disposition of the case.

An arraignment is the court hearing where the defendant or the attorney enters a plea.

The first arraignment for Loats was scheduled Jan. 7. The June 24 continuation marks the fifth time a new date for the arraignment has been set.

Loats was arrested Sept. 16 in Morrison and has been held in the Arapahoe County jail on $50,000 bond since.

Loats was brought into the courtroom with a number of other inmates. Handcuffs and ankle shackles were joined by a chain to a chain around his waist. He was clean-shaven and appeared in good spirits as he smiled as he talked to his public defender.

The defendant’s parents attended previous arraignments, seeking court permission to see their son because it wasn’t allowed due to a protection order.

Loats’ father spoke and asked the judge to at least allow phone contact.

That was granted and, at the May arraignment, the judge permitted each parent to make phone contact with their son once a week and allowed family members to write to him.

For the first time, the parents weren’t in the courtroom on June 24, but three family members did attend. The family members didn’t identify their relationship and declined to make any comment on the case or the court decision.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

On July 4, have a blast, without fireworks Once again, it looks like many of Colorado’s communities are headed toward a Fourth of July without fireworks.

Last year, arguably Colorado’s worst ever for wildfires, saw a statewide burning ban that prohibited fireworks. Already this year, fires have scorched tens of thousands of acres throughout the state.

No statewide ban has been put in place as of yet, but make no mistake, Colorado is in emergency mode. In many counties, officials have taken common-sense, precautionary measures and instituted burning rules that, among other things, outlaw personal use and professional displays of fireworks.

Unless the skies open up immediately and consistently, these bans are likely to

OUR VIEW

remain in place at least through July 4. For many, that means, like last year, celebrating the holiday without one of our nation’s most treasured traditions.

Yes, fireworks are fun. They have come to be seen as a sparkling, brilliant reminder of our independence. But much of Colorado is too dry, the conditions too ripe for danger, to risk it.

We see this as a necessary inconvenience. Moreover, we encourage residents to be diligent in following whatever restrictions their county or municipality has imposed. A single, carelessly discarded cigarette has been known to start a major wildfire. Certainly, flaming objects designed to explode in the air have the potential to create at least as much havoc.

Consider some statistics from the National Fire Protection Association: In 2011, fireworks caused an estimated 17,8000 reported fires, including 1,200 total structure fires, 400 vehicle fires and 16,300 outside and other fires. These fires resulted in an estimated eight reported civilian deaths, 40 civilian injuries and $32 million in direct property damage. In a normal year, more

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

What will you do for fun on July 4?

With the cancellation of many professional fireworks displays due to stage 2 fire bans, we asked four residents of Highlands

Ranch at the 2013 Hawaiian Ho’olaule’a Summer Festival how they plan to have fun on the Fourth of July.

“I haven’t really thought about the Fourth of July yet.

I have two young children, so it’s difficult for us to watch a fireworks display.”

— Delaine Baker, Highlands Ranch “I will probably still have a fire in my backyard even with a fire ban because we don’t have any grass back there.”

— Sam Rosean, Highlands Ranch

“I will probably get a bunch of friends together and run around at the park and have a dance competition.”

— Tanner Steed, Highlands Ranch “I really don’t know. I haven’t figured that out yet. I usually watch the fireworks, but I’m sure I will find something to do.”

— John Harada, Highlands Ranch

‘It’s not you, it’s me’ is about accountability Probably one of the most recognized, overused, and abused break-up lines of all time, “It’s not you, it’s me.”

For all of the Seinfeld fans out there, you will recall that in one episode Jason Alexander’s character, George Costanza, actually claimed that he invented this break-up maneuver when one of his love interests used the very same line on him when trying to end the relationship. And I know that many people still use this line or tactic to end relationships or let others down easy, or maybe both.

I like the line for a different reason. Forgetting the overused and abused relationship and break-up analogy for a moment, how often have we used the very same line when deflecting blame for something we have done or have not done? Do we take accountability and own it, “It’s not you, it’s me?” Or do we reverse it and place the problem squarely on someone else, “It’s not me, it’s you?”

I much prefer the original version, “It’s not you, it’s me.” Personal accountability is the first rung on the ladder of success. And it is not just when something has gone horribly wrong or where there is an opportunity to place or accept blame, it is also true when given an opportunity or challenge to tackle a big project or task. Strong leaders use this tactic all the time. And they use it in a couple of ways, one to lead by example and the other to give a team member a chance to step up and demonstrate a competency or capability.

In the example of leading by example or leading from the front, a good manager or leader may recognize that there is an opportunity for a teaching moment and they jump in and say, “Wait a minute, it’s not your turn yet, let me demonstrate this for you one more time, OK?” And then they show their employee or team member the proper way to execute a specific job or function. Especially when there could be a safety concern.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Tax break for brewery was questionable deal

I am writing to suggest that the special tax incentive package approved by the Littleton City Council for the Breckenridge Brewery Project was unnecessary and unfair to other Littleton businesses that are paying their full share of taxes.

First let me be clear that I do not object to the brewery project. While the estimated 75 jobs and $120,000 in annual sales taxes are nice, the project is not an economic game changer. Just in just the past 12 months, the following projects have created over 400 new jobs in Littleton without any apparent special tax incentives: CarMax — 90 jobs Health South Inpatient Care Center — 100 jobs Restaurant Solutions Inc. — 90 jobs Alamo Draft House Cinema — 125 jobs In terms of sales tax, it is likely that restaurants such as Merle’s and Littleton Tavern, both of which opened during the 2008-2012 recession, generate similar tax revenue to the city. Even in terms of the land development costs that Breckenridge will incur such as drainage and a traffic signal, there are other options. In 2000, the city council approved the formation of a Business Improvement District for the Aspen Grove Lifestyle Center to finance over $9 million in site development costs over a 20-year period. There is no cost to Littleton taxpayers, and Aspen Grove generates over $2 million per year in sales taxes to the city.

I realize that tax incentives are what “everybody else” is doing, and there are cities that are not as attractive as Littleton that probably do need them. However, I think

The Independent And conversely, the employee may feel that they are ready to demonstrate their readiness and capabilities and use the very same line, “I’ve got this boss, it’s not you, it’s my turn.” And so the strong leader allows their team member to try. This is another teaching moment, just moving from the “doing” of everything for everyone, to “giving” an opportunity to learn and grow.

But even if we do reverse it, “It’s not me, it’s you,” this too can be used when a coach or leader calls upon an employee or team member to step up because they know that they are ready to give something a shot.

“It’s not me this time, it’s you, it’s a big project but I am confident you can handle it.”

Both situations allow for growth, ownership, success, and building a solid foundation to build upon.

It’s only in times of blame or difficulties when we reverse the line and fall back on the comfortable crutch of “It’s not me, it’s you,” that we stifle growth in ourselves and others as we deflect ownership and accountability.

How have you used the line? Is it you?

Or is it someone else? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com and let’s make this a better than good week.

Michael Norton, a resident of Highlands Ranch, is the former president of the Zig Ziglar organization and CEO and founder of www.candogo.com

fires are reported on July 4 than on any other day, and fireworks are the major culprit, according to the association.

Imagine the potential for disaster if errant fireworks landed in a wooded area of Colorado. It’s not worth the risk for a few minutes of viewing pleasure.

And if doing the right thing for Coloradans’ safety isn’t enough, consider the potential damage to a scofflaw’s wallet.

In unincorporated Douglas County, for example, setting off fireworks comes with up to a $1,000 fine. We could make a case that fines should be even stiffer.

Independence Day is rooted in major sacrifice. Eating hot dogs and enjoying the company of family and friends without fireworks is a rather small one.

the track record shows that Littleton does not need to be like everybody else. Before any other projects like this are brought forward, I encourage the city council to have a thorough discussion about the pros and cons of special tax deals, and whether such a policy is necessary or appropriate for Littleton.

Jim Woods Littleton resident and former city manager

Littleton is model of economic planning

There is a lot of talk today about cities, counties, and states being “open for business,” but few communities are demonstrating their commitment to longterm, sustainable success like the City of Littleton. Littleton’s leaders are forging a path to ensure the city’s continued prosperity through the approval of new commercial development and the residential development needed to support the city’s businesses. The city’s leaders should be applauded for striking a fine balance between preserving Littleton’s unique 19th-century roots and shaping a vision for what Littleton can be in the 21st century.

When the city council adopted a comprehensive economic plan on May 7, they set a vision for the city’s economic future and sent a message to the business community that Littleton is open for business.

This is not a political issue; it is an essential part of responsible government.

When it’s time to go to the grocery store and pick up some dog food and strawberries, where do you go? And why?

There are five good grocery stores ten minutes from my front door. I wind up at the same one most of the time. You’ll never guess why.

They’re all convenient, so that isn’t it.

Because one has the best coupons? I think coupons are a form of condescension. If you want to act like a gerbil and nibble coupons out of the newspaper, go ahead.

The employees? If I stray from my favorite, that’s the reason. There’s a vegetable gentleman who knows his vegetables.

There’s a woman in the deli who knows her deli. There’s a cute girl in meat and seafood. I’m fond of an employee who works at self-checkout. She and my sister have the same name.

Value for my dollar? I am not very conscious of things like that. I should be.

I’ll pay more for the item with the bestlooking label.

If I lived in Nowhere, Colorado, I might

ServiceS

not have a choice. There might be only one store in town, and it could an important hub in my life. That’s not true when you have five to choose from. Most of the time I shop and never say a word to anyone.

I scowl now and then, when someone is myopically blocking the aisle. Or when it seems as if parents have brought their children in for Mickey Mouse Club auditions.

You can’t shop for groceries online.

You can to a point, but it’s not practical or timely to order a pumpkin that way. Or a banana.

While we’re here: How long do your

bananas last? Mine turn brown on the way home from the store. It seems.

The reason why I shop at one store more than the others is the sound of music.

I am not sure why there is music in grocery stores at all. Is it awkward if it’s too quiet around the crab cakes. Does music lubricate sales? All I know is that in four of the five stores, the music is abysmal.

Most of the music is offensive, too loud, and chosen by Farmer Ted, Hallmark, or someone named Dude.

It doesn’t seem to matter. “Here is some music, on the house. It may be an irritant, but at least we were thinking of you.”

No you weren’t. Stores spend a lot of money on marketing, but, like I said, Dude is the disc jockey.

The shopping experience, if it must include music, is much better when it seems like someone cares what I am listening to, not just the stuff the feds used to try to flush out the Branch Davidians.

One of the four stores began to play Christmas music before Thanksgiving. I

can’t stand Christmas music to begin with.

Five weeks of it is unbearable.

I am not going to name names, but here’s a hint. In my favorite store, you can buy some of the music you have just listened to — in the checkout line.

And another thing, you won’t hear some irksome recording telling you how great the place is over and over from the store’s speakers while you’re shopping.

I asked someone who works in The Four how she could stand the music all day, and she said, “I tune it out.”

What if the music contributed to the in-store experience, instead of being a perfunctory adjunct, as it is now? Who cares, right? I do.

The world of music has never been more inclusive and brilliant. Employ someone to program it who sees that. And hears that.

In tornado country, what goes around comes around DIA twister is reminder of Colorado weather patterns

But that doesn’t mean there can’t be big trouble here.

Windsor storm unusual

By Kevin Vaughan and Burt Hubbard I-News Network

The tornado sighting that set off alarms and frightened passengers at Denver International Airport on June 18 was a startling reminder that Colorado is indeed twister country.

Since 1950, only six other states have experienced more tornadoes than the 1,948 documented here, an I-News examination of federal weather data found.

And two of the state’s fastest-growing counties — Weld and Adams, which surrounds DIA — had the most tornadoes during that 63-year span. Combined, they accounted for 410 tornadoes, more than one of every five. In addition, the Weld County town of Windsor experienced the most destructive twister in state history.

And then there’s the airport sitting on the high plains 25 miles from downtown Denver. On an average day, DIA sees about 145,000 passengers, and at any given time as many as 20,000 people may be in the terminal and concourses. Officials there are keenly aware that the airport could become a tornado bull’s-eye at any given time.

Two separate tabletop exercises conducted earlier this year for just such an

An aerial view on May 23, 2008, shows part of Windsor, a Colorado city that was hit by a massive tornado early the day befor, killing a man and damaging or destroying at least 100 homes. File photo/I-News eventuality became showtime reality June 18.

“We followed protocol and everything went very smoothly,” Laura Coale, director of media relations at DIA, said June 19. There were no reported injuries, damage or calls for paramedics, she said. The tornado was preliminarily rated an EF1 by the National Weather Service, and touched down between two runways on the airport’s east side.

DIA has safe spaces

Even in practice scenarios that assumed backedup traffic at DIA with larger passenger loads, the airport has a safe place for everyone. In addition to the bath-

rooms and stairwells, the airport can evacuate people to the underground baggage tunnels if necessary, officials have said.

On May 8, 1975 — long before DIA was even conceived — an F3 tornado touched down near 56th Avenue and Picadilly Road and tracked to the northeast. It was on the ground for four miles and was a quarter-mile wide.

Back then, the area was farmland, and the twister did no damage. But if that historic tornado had been the one to hit June 18, it could have been a different story. That tornado’s track went directly across present-day Pena Boulevard, across a runway and into

the west-side parking lot next to the main terminal.

While it’s true that tornadoes are much more common in Colorado than one might realize, it’s equally true that they are not likely to pack the power of those that hit farther east — such as the destructive and deadly twisters that ravaged parts of Oklahoma in May. “They certainly do occur in Colorado,” said Josh Wurman, of the Center for Severe Weather Research in Boulder. “Sometimes they can be quite major — there have been famous tornadoes, like the Limon tornado and the Windsor tornado, which have caused a lot of damage. There probably have been a lot of tornadoes capable of causing F4-, F5-type damage that just have churned through open rangeland, and prior to recent decades not have even been reported at all, even as a tornado.”

State racks up twisters

An I-News examination of data since 1950 kept by the National Weather Service showed that Colorado experiences frequent if not always powerful tornadoes: • Five of the 10 counties with the most tornadoes were along the Front Range.

In addition to Weld and Adams, they included El Paso, Arapahoe and Elbert.

• Despite their frequency, tornadoes have killed only five people in Colorado since 1950 — two people near Holyoke in 1960, two people in Holly in 2007, and one person in Windsor in 2008.

• A total of 283 residents have been injured by 53 tornadoes since 1950. More than 40 percent of the injuries came from two tornadoes — the Windsor tornado, which injured 78, and one in Thornton in 1981, which injured 42.

• The greatest concentration of tornadoes took place in the four-year time period from 1990 to 1993, spawning 283 twisters — or about one of every seven recorded since 1950. However, recordkeeping in the 1950s and 1960s may have undercounted tornados. The national database shows only one tornado taking place in 1959 and only two each in 1950 and 1964.

• At least 10 tornadoes have caused $1 million or more in damage.

Beginning in 1971, tornadoes in the United States were categorized on what was known as the Fujita Scale, a six-step ranking — from F0, the weakest, to F5, the strongest. The different categories accounted for potential for damage inflicted by a particular tornado.

In 2007, the Enhanced Fujita Scale was adopted, which updated the rating system to include a specific range of wind speed for each category of tornadoes.

The new system ranked tornadoes from EF0, the weakest, to EF5, the most powerful.

Few powerful tornadoes

Since 1950, a tornado rated either F5 or EF5 has never been recorded in Colorado. Only one twister was rated as either F4 or EF4 — a twister in 1977 in Baca County — and 21 were categorized as either F3 or EF3.

The rest were less powerful — 111 that were F2 or EF2; 531 that were F1 or EF1; and 1,229 that were F0 or EF0, including a small but dramatic tornado that startled motorists at nearly 12,000 feet on Mount Evans road last July 28.

An additional 55 of the state’s tornadoes were listed as “unknown.”

“The good news is that the vast majority of our tornadoes are weak — EF0, EF1 — so those winds go up to maybe 130 mph or so, and those tornadoes don’t cause a lot of damage,” said Bob Glancy, the warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Boulder office.

Two EF5 twisters that hit the Oklahoma City area in late May took more than 30 lives and injured nearly 500 people — one in the town of Moore, and one near the town of El Reno that took the lives of two wellrespected Colorado storm chasers.

At one point that twister was 2.6 miles across — the widest ever recorded.

Those tornadoes were part of large, rotating storms known as supercells — which are much more common as you move east out of Colorado. Although they can occur here, they are less likely, in part because the moisture flowing north from the Gulf of Mexico doesn’t often reach Colorado.

“Nothing’s impossible in meteorology, and the Windsor storm is an example,” Glancy said.

That tornado, which touched down about 11:30 a.m. on May 22, 2008, was rated an EF3 and it was unusual in many respects — it hit before noon, it was a mile wide, it was on the ground for 38 miles, and it traveled from the southeast to the northwest.

It also killed one person, injured 78 others and inflicted $147 million in property damage, making it the most destructive tornado in state history.

“It wasn’t an EF5, but that’s an example of what could happen here,” Glancy said.

The I-News analysis also found that other historic twisters that in decades past hit harmlessly in open land could have different consequences if they struck the same places today.

On May 20, 1961, for example, a twister hit open land near Castle Rock where the Douglas County Courthouse stands today, and on July 19, 1985, another touched down where Lone Tree’s Sky Ridge Medical Center is now located.

While there’s no way to predict the future, it’s inevitable that the state will experience more tornadoes.

Still, Wurman, the Boulder-based weather researcher, said he’d advise people to be aware but also not overreact. There’s no reason to dig a hole in the backyard and construct a tornado shelter, he said.

“If I were going to list ways to spend your money to stay safe, I would list getting a new car with better air bags higher than building a tornado shelter, because that’s more likely to save your life than a tornado shelter,” he said.

And he brings the perspective of having been close to twisters many times — including in May outside El Reno, when his team turned away from the tornadoes that ultimately claimed nine lives, including those of Colorado storm chasers Tim Samaras and his son, Paul.

“We don’t know exactly what they did that day,” Wurman said of his fellow storm scientists. “There’s always a tension between being ambitious and going in and being safer and staying away. Tim has a reputation of being a reasonable guy.

We don’t know what happened.”

Still, he said, “A tornado is pretty unlikely to be your cause of death, whether or not you live in Colorado, or in Oklahoma and Kansas, because the number of people killed every year in tornadoes, typically, is less than 100.

“People shouldn’t live in fear of tornadoes.”

The family can suffer a big net loss by earning more.

Colorado is the only state that allows counties to set income levels for eligibility for child-care assistance, or CCAP, the biggest work support program. The state’s system has created broad inequities in what families can earn before losing child care.

Most experts say higher

education is essential to rising out of poverty. Yet, 11 counties don’t give childcare help to parents attending college. A parent in Boulder County can get child-care subsidies to attend the University of Colorado, but a Larimer County parent gets no help to attend Colorado State University.

motions or passing on better jobs to avoid losing an essential benefit.

Proposed reforms center on phasing out payments gradually as family incomes rise toward self-sufficiency.

Yet, when Colorado lawmakers twice tried to require counties to phase out child-care benefits, the proposals were watered down

after lobbying by Colorado counties to make them voluntary.

There are more than 63,000 working families in Colorado earning 130 percent of poverty-level income or less, about $25,000 per year, according to the I-News analysis. In 2012, according to state figures, CCAP served about 31,000

of the almost 137,000 children in those families — “a pittance,” in the words of one state senator.

Woman puts face on struggle to succeed Self-sufficiency is goal for student mother

By Jim Trotter I-News

Jennine Jeffries is a woman with an engaging smile, a firm handshake and an articulate yet unvarnished way of telling her own story: broken and abusive childhood home, a frequent runaway and juvenile

Jennine Jeffries, 39, stands at the Tivoli Student Union on the Auraria Campus in Denver recently. Jeffries, a mother of four, has done much to turn her life around after it went off course, and is carrying a near-perfect grade point average at Metropolitan State University of Denver. However, she is concerned about what will happen when her work support benefits ends. She wants to be off assistance, yet will need to earn $40,000 a year to be self-sufficient.

delinquent, alcohol and drug addictions as she became a bartender, a stint in jail.

But her story doesn’t stop there.

With determination and hard work, with help from those who believe in her, with an unfading desire to be something more for her own four children, she has pulled her life back on course. She’s carrying a shiny 3.97 grade point average at Metropolitan State University of Denver, with graduation set for next spring.

Her 19-year-old son has made that possible in part by caring at home for her 4-year-old twins. She wants him to have a chance at education next.

Jeffries has worked for Metro’s Institute for Women’s Studies and Services, and is now an intern at Project Wise, a Denverbased agency that offers counseling and other services to women. She knows who she is and what she wants to be.

“Given the pain I have put my family through, given the pain I have put myself through, given the struggles I have been through, I want a career where I can help

those who are like me, women in transition, women who feel that maybe they’re not worthy, or that they have no hope,” said Jeffries, 39. “I want to make a difference in people’s lives.”

As she prepares for that day, making the long bus ride each day into Denver from her Section 8 apartment in Englewood, working low-wage jobs, volunteering, keeping up with her family life and her studies, she worries about how she will do it.

Can she possibly make, as a new college graduate, the $40,000 or more it will take for her family to minimally survive the loss of the work support benefits she receives — housing assistance, food stamps and Medicaid?

“I’m terrified that once I graduate I won’t be self-sufficient,” she said, but there’s no turning back now.

“What do I next? I want to be the hell off assistance.”

‘Cliff effect’ looms for achiever with fresh degree Magna cum laude grad in ‘really scary’ situation

By Jim Trotter I-News

Rachel Contizano, a Denver native, moved to New York and finished community college there with highest distinction. She was employed by an apparel manufacturer, living independently in New York City, just as she wanted.

Then she went on maternity leave before Christmas in 2009 and was soon notified that her job had been eliminated.

She applied for unemployment benefits and received them for the full 99 weeks allowed, her job search fruitless month after month.

“I got up the courage that I needed

to move back home,” she said of those dark days. “It was just getting too difficult to survive.”

Surviving still wasn’t a picnic back in Colorado, although her family helped. As she began to apply for work support benefits for herself and her son, Kingston, to try to get back on her feet, she encountered what she described as a very difficult process with Denver Human Services.

“I did everything I was supposed to do. I followed all the rules,” she said.

“If I did what I was responsible for, then they were responsible to help me.

And that wasn’t the case.”

She decided she needed to learn more about advocating for herself.

Her eventual mastery of work support benefit rules led to her appointment to the Denver Welfare Reform Board. She was named a “Woman to Watch” by the League of Women Vot-

ers. She just graduated magna cum laude from the Colorado Women’s College at the University of Denver with a degree in business administration.

Now 32, she wants a career in public policy to help others. She dreams of running for public office.

But first there is a matter of finding a job. She has calculated she needs to earn about $43,000 to make up for the loss of food stamps, child care assistance for her son, now 4, Medicaid and rental subsidies she receives. Even for all of her accomplishments, avoiding the cliff effect is daunting.

“It’s very hard to find a job in 30 days, something that is going to keep my head above water,” she said. “So that is something I’m really struggling with right now and that is really scary.”

To learn more about the cliff effect go to inewsnetwork.org.

the workforce, to stay working, to reach self-sufficiency, to get ahead,” said Rich Jones, director of research at Bell Policy Center in Denver, a self-described progressive think tank. “That’s the whole design. By keeping the cliff effect, by keeping the barriers in place, we’re actually providing a disincentive to continue working.”

For many poor working families who receive work supports, the cliff effect isn’t an issue. They don’t earn enough to trip the loss of benefits. The real threat of the cliff effect is to those close to self-sufficiency.

“A fraction of these folks can actually make it work,” said Susan Roll, a California professor who did her doctoral thesis at the University of Denver on the cliff effect.

“It is very difficult to be on these programs and it is certainly next to impossible to escape the programs.”

The work support benefits can include child-care assistance, food stamps, housing assistance, assistance with energy bills and Medicaid, among others.

The steepest cliff in the state is posed by the childcare assistance program, experts say.

Even a raise of $1 hour per hour, which would translate into roughly $2,000 a year for a full-time employee, could trigger the termination of the benefit worth $6,000 or $8,000 per year or more to the family, and might even impact the parent’s ability to work.

“I would say the cliff effect is the No. 1 reason preventing women and their families from achieving self-sufficiency,” said Lorena Garcia, executive director of Denver-based COLOR, which works with young women trying to escape poverty.

Academic researchers and county social workers all said they have seen families forgo raises or promotions so they didn’t lose child-care benefits.

Self-sufficiency is pegged by most studies at about 225 percent of the federal poverty guideline, or about $44,000 annually for a family of three.

That number comes particularly into play in Colorado’s county system for setting income limits for child-care assistance. The limit for a family of three ranges from $25,000, or 130 percent of poverty, to $44,000, 225 percent of poverty. And these vast disparities exist next door to each other.

For example, in southeastern Colorado, Prowers County cuts off child care at $25,000 for a three-person family, while adjacent Bent and Kiowa counties allow

up to $44,000. A 2008 state audit found that more than 1,000 families denied childcare assistance because their incomes were too high would have qualified in a neighboring county.

Higher education is another touchstone in the debate over Colorado’s county system.

“Post-secondary education, especially for single-parent households, is critical as far as financial security, social mobility, all of those things,” said state Sen. John Kefalas, D-Fort Collins.

That Larimer County doesn’t allow higher education as an eligible activity ultimately comes down to a matter of resources, officials said.

“We had to make the choice to serve the poorest of the poor,” said Laura Sartor of Larimer County Human Services. “It was very difficult. It was a very hard choice to make. We did a lot of research and a lot of statistics in determining who we could and couldn’t serve. And unfortunately the student population was one of the populations that were an option, so we had to eliminate them and not be able to cover child care anymore.”

Many counties change eligibility levels as budgets and caseloads rise and fall.

El Paso County Commissioner Sallie Clark, a Republican, said it’s critical that these decisions be made at the close-to-the-ground county level. El Paso recently raised its level to 150 percent of poverty, but allows recipients, once approved, to stay with the program up to 165 percent.

Colorado Counties Inc., the lobbying organization for the state’s 64 counties, has twice lobbied against legislation requiring the counties to phase out childcare assistance to counter the cliff effect. Each time, the counties lobbied successfully to make the proposals voluntary. The 2012 bill called for a 10-county pilot project to test phasing out the benefit. So, far no county has volunteered.

Clark said requiring counties to phase out the benefit would be too costly.

But Kefalas, the Fort Collins Democrat, said there would be benefits in embracing reform.

“In my opinion, if we make these investments up front, we’re going to save an awful lot of money for the taxpayer in terms of public assistance programs, in terms of dealing with the criminal justice system,and the research bears that out,” he said.

by enchanting sophistication.

What is your specialty and what does that mean for people you work with?

Personal bonds - I’m the person they entrust with delicate information and desires. Real Estate can be simultaneously stressful and exciting. It’s a considerable decision for people and I find it personally fulfilling when we mesh as a team to accomplish a goal. This relationship, on many occasions, has led to friendships that endure long past the closing dates.

Office: 303-713-9000 Mobile: 303-507-3392 CarlaChCk@gmail.com www.cherrycreekpropertiesllc.com Where were you born?

I am a Colorado native and grew up in the “burbs” with our beautiful State as my backyard. I’ve lived in the city, where the exhilaration of Downtown breathes excitement - the mountains both in Victorian Georgetown, and Evergreen, with grandeur and wildlife around every corner then ultimately, to the breathtaking valley of Douglas County.

What is the most challenging part of what you do?

Wanting to be in two places at one time.

How long have you lived in the area?

In the Denver-Metro area, I’ve spent more years than I care to count so let’s tally the good times had. Douglas County captivated me years ago, and charming Castle Rock has been “home” for over 13 years.

What is one tip for someone looking to sell a home?

Prepare yourself mentally for a change. A home has many memories not easily parted with. Honor the past by choosing to remember everything good and direct your thoughts to the adventure that awaits you.

What is one tip for someone looking to buy a house?

Enjoy the hunt! Picture in your mind what you truly desire. Share that vision with your Realtor® and have fun finding the environment that best suits your needs and personality. In any real estate transaction, [buying or selling] choose a Realtor® such as myself, as we are held to a higher standard and bound by a code of ethics.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate?

Nothing unusual so I’ll share my most recent favorite. While showing a house in Parker, three bucks traveling together came within a few feet of the home. We all stood in awe, quietly watching.

What do you like most about it?

Douglas County is an enigma to be experienced rather than explained. It’s a diverse area immersed in rich, Colorado heritage. From historic sites to the people who live here, whether you wish to observe the splendor or choose to be a piece of the

‘What we’re trying to do is help minimize the impact of the disease, trying to make them feel better for a longer period of time until we find that next magic bullet.’

By Jane reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com

Douglas County School Board Vice President Dan Gerken resigned the week of Jan. 7, and already has stepped down from his seat. He cited growing family and work obligations.

Board President John Carson said the group will begin the process of finding his replacement during the Jan. 15 board meeting.

Gerken was elected to the board in 2009, and his term was set to expire in November. He did not return calls for comment, Gerken but Carson said there is no mystery surrounding his resignation from the education reform-focused board.

“We depend on people being willing to take a lot of time out of their lives and work and families to do this,” he said, noting board members invest at least 20 hours a month to the unpaid post. “Dan has served selflessly in that capacity for over three years now. I greatly appreciate what he’s done for our school district.”

Carson said Gerken first approached him about resigning shortly after the new year.

“I tried to talk him out of (resigning), but he made his decision,” he said.

Though the board has often been criticized for its fast-paced reform efforts, Carson said he doesn’t believe that was a factor in Gerken’s resignation.

“If you run for office, you have to be prepared for that,” he said. “Speaking for myself, the reason I got involved in public education was to make some changes in public education that I think have been needed for a long time. I know Dan felt that way as well.”

In seven years on the board, Carson said this is the fourth vacancy filled by appointment.

“It’s not an infrequent occurrence,” he said.

The board has 60 days to fill the empty seat. Any candidate must live in Gerken’s district — District D — which extends from Castle Pines to the southeast corner of the county.

Potential school board candidates must be at least 18 years of age, a 12-month resident and registered voter of the district, and have no direct or indirect interest in district contracts. All current school board members are registered Republicans, but the office is officially nonpartisan.

“We’re just looking for people that are interested in improving public education, continuing to make our school district the best, and keep making it stronger,” Carson said.

Gerken, a father of two, lives in Castle Pines with his wife, Gina. He is chairman and co-founder of Gerken Taxman Inter-

Bluffs loved by developers, residents jreuter@ourcolorado news.com Acres Green resident Paul Veal and his two dogs walk the trails in and around Lone Tree’s Bluffs Regional Park through sun, snow, thunderstorms and, of late, construction. Lots of construction.

RidgeGate’s west side is nearing completion with a roar of activity, most of it along the bluffs Veal and others hold precious. Cabela’s and the commercial sites that adjoin it, the Montecito and NorthSky neighborhoods all are under construction along the bluffs. To make way for the projects and stabilize the land, developers on the three adjacent sites cut into the hillsides.

City officials said developers can only build to specific heights, a restriction designed to preserve view corridors. But to Veal, the views already are spoiled.

“They completely destroyed the mountain behind the (Lone Tree) rec center for the homes, and the bluff on the other side to put Cabela’s there,” he said.

“I’m not an environmental-

Construction is just beginning at NorthSky, a 35-home development south of Prairie Sky Park at the base of the bluffs. Photo by Jane Reuter to get development rights up and around the bluffs, along the bluffs and below the bluffs.”

Because those rights are in place, Lone Tree can’t stop development.

Like Veal, Mayor Pro Tem Jackie Millet is a frequent bluffs visitor.

“I appreciate the concerns and I share the concern,” said Millet, who walks the bluffs trails about five times a week. “But I think precautions were taken to respect the rights of the developer but preserve that natural beauty of our community.”

RidgeGate developers did not return calls requesting comment.

NorthSky, a 33-home development that recently broke ground on Crossington Way, isn’t the last bluffs development. Another nearly 50-home development is depicted on RidgeGate documents in the ravine south of Cabela’s

ManCaves coming to Centennial Vacant three-acre lot to house new dude-centric development

By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com A three-acre vacant lot across from the Denver Broncos training facility will soon be the home to ManCaves, an industrial condo-like development designed to give guys — and gals — more room for their stuff.

The concept came about through developer Matt Mullin’s frustration with finding adequate space to work on his car.

“Storage units were too small and of course, a warehouse was too big, and retail space is too expensive and comes with restrictions,” said Mullin from his home in Park City, Utah. “I needed something in between.”

Mullin, and his partners Jack Koson and Terry Staples, hope to create more than just a place to store cars, RVs and boats. Mullin said he hopes the design will also foster a sense of community with the 64-unit, 60,000-square-foot facility.

“There will be a common lounge and other amenities,” he said. “We hope the

concept will bring together people of similar interests and the best part is, it’s not a place you rent. You own it.”

Single units run approximately 450 square feet and are priced at $55,000, plus an annual owners’ association fee.

Although not zoned for residential living, units will be accessible anytime and ownership can be split among friends.

Financing is available through ManCaves or though a preferred lender.

Each man cave will come with ample power outlets, concrete floors and stainless steel walls, fully customizable to individual needs and tastes.

Multiple units may also be purchased to accommodate owners who want more space.

“The possibilities are endless,” Mullin said. “They can be everything from just storage to high-end hangouts with pool tables and big screen televisions.”

Mullin said ManCaves hopes to break ground by the end of the year, but that will depend on unit pre-sales.

Man Caves is located at 13303 E. Adam Aircraft Circle, near Broncos Parkway. For more information on Man Caves or for presale queries, visit www.getmancaves.com or call 970-626-2283.

and west of the East-West Regional Trail. While those homes won’t be as visible as Montecito or NorthSky, they will change the experience for trail users.

“The city will obviously make sure these homes will be aesthetically attractive with good buffer areas,” Millet said.

RidgeGate’s property includes another parcel, with space for about 10 large

ist. But at the same time, I’m vested in that walk up there and the wildlife. When’s it going to stop?”

Veal fears the impact on the animals he sees there, which include lizards, deer and in May, a mountain lion.

“Every time I go up there, I see something new,” he said. I think those animals are going to split. I think it’s going to take a lot away from what people are seeing and finding up there.”

City officials say development won’t extend much farther up the bluffs than it already has. The work they did to keep the visual impacts as minimal as possible was painstaking and detailed, including photo simulations that showed Montecito rooftops stopping about halfway up the bluffs, Lone Tree Community Development Director Steve Hebert said.

The 2000 city vote to annex the RidgeGate property was fueled in large part by a desire to protect the bluffs.

The 250-acre Bluffs Regional Park is a Douglas County open space. Its loop trail includes connections to the East-West Regional Trail, South Suburban Parks and Recreation and Highlands Ranch trail systems.

But, Hebert noted, “There is such a thing as private property rights.

Coventry for many years worked with the county

homes, east of McArthur Ranch. Access and infrastructure to those bluff-top sites hasn’t been determined, Millet said. Those homes might be visible from McArthur Ranch, but not from Lone Tree, she said.

The bluffs were a selling point for Charles Schwab in its decision to build a corporate campus in Lone Tree, as well as the Hampden Inn,

Millet said. Cabela’s already touts the county’s East-West Trail among the amenities of its soon-to-open RidgeGate Parkway store.

“The bluffs are the most well-loved, treasured place in the Lone Tree community,” Millet said. “I would say majority of our residents spend part of their week up there. It’s very important to me and all of council to make sure it’s protected.”

Coral gets collaborative Crochet project on display in ‘Spun’ exhibit at DAM

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “Spun,” the textile-focused menu of exhibits at the Denver Art Museum, includes the Institute For Figuring’s charming, mostly colorful, Crochet Coral Reef Project.

The little sculptural clusters are displayed on pedestals in both the Hamilton and the North buildings, leading the way from one gallery to the next.

Sisters Christine and Margaret Wertheim, who grew up in Australia, conscious of the coral reefs along the coast and concerned about their fragility, started the IFF in 2005.

The organization is now located in Los Angeles.

The IFF has about 40 contributors worldwide and has helped to raise concern about these endangered organisms.

The Wertheims have crocheted about half of the pieces themselves and curated the collection as it grew.

See how many cases you can locate throughout the museum. Look for the tiny critters that inhabit the reefs.

The inspiration came from “hyperbolic crochet,” discovered in 1997 by Cornell

Cherry Hills Country Club General Manager Kevin Hood, who saved a man’s life earlier this year, recently received the Metropolitan Golf Writers Association’s Mary Bea Porter Award.

The honor was bestowed at the MGWA’s 62nd national awards dinner June 18 in Tarrytown, N.Y. Hood was honored for saving the life of Cherry Hills member John Moore. Responding to a “code blue” call on Jan. 29, Hood administered CPR to the 87-year-old Moore, who had fallen and hit his head, causing his tongue to block his airway.

Hood performed chest compressions and other life-saving measures. After a 10-day hospital stay, Moore recovered and returned to Cherry Hills to enjoy his club membership.

Colorado Avid Golfer magazine first reported the news.

The award is named for Mary Bea Porter, a former LPGA Tour pro who left the course in the middle of a qualifying round of the 1988 Samaritan Turquoise Classic in Phoenix to save a drowning 3-year-old boy at a home adjacent to a fairway.

Hood, 52, is in his eighth year at Cherry Hills. He was a starting linebacker at the University of Colorado and former pro football player with the Denver Gold of the USFL.

“Satellite Coral Reef” is a work in progress by local artists. Courtesy photo by Denver Art Museum University mathematician Daina Taimina, according to the IFF website. The Wertheim sisters adopted Taimina’s techniques and elaborated on them “to develop a whole taxonomy of reef-life forms.” Loopy “kelps,” fringed “anemones,” crenelated “sea slugs” and curlicued “corals” have all been modeled with these methods.”

Jenna Madison of the DAM Education Department said this is the largest collaborative art project in the world. It has been exhibited in many venues.

“It came on our radar screen and we thought, wouldn’t it be great to have it here for SPUN,” Madison said. “So emails and calls went back and forth, as arrangements fell into place. Including this very contemporary work seems especially appropriate, especially since local crafters are now involved.”

She said that Christine Wertheim has a fine arts background and Margaret is a scientist.

A standard ingredient in the crocheted Coral Reef exhibits is a Satellite Coral Reef by local artists, and Denver’s version is underway in a special space where local craftsmen appear on Saturdays and Sundays to add to the project. It will grow through the summer.

Christine Wertheim came to Denver to train the educational department and other area artists so they could, in turn, help the

“It’s growing beautifully,” Madison said.

People also work at home and bring in pieces. “It’s open to anyone.”

It will be arranged and rearranged as more pieces come in. When the show closes in late September, the Satellite Coral Reef will be harvested and pieces given to museum visitors.

Note especially the bleached coral in the lobby of the Hamilton Building, a collective work by many IFF contributors, crocheted in white and off-white yarns to illustrate what happens to coral under environmental stress.

The color in coral comes from tiny microorganisms, zooanthellae, that live within the polyps. When environmental toxins or rising water temperatures stress corals, the polyps expel the zooanthellae, which they need for long-term survival.

In August, the local Ladies Handiwork Society will be creating a garden in the North Building complete with critters and surprise moments.

Cabela’s, the giant outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, will celebrate the official grand opening of its two Denverarea locations in Thornton and Lone Tree on Aug. 15.

Ribbon-cutting ceremonies hosted by Cabela’s executives and special guests will begin at 10:45 a.m. at each location, and doors will open for business at 11 a.m.

Opening day will begin a weekend-long celebration featuring outdoor celebrities, events for the entire family, giveaways and more.

The 110,000-square-foot Lone Tree store will be located in Douglas County in the new RidgeGate Commons development along Interstate 25 at RidgeGate Parkway.

The 90,000-square-foot Thornton store will be located in a new retail development along I-25 at 144th Ave. Cabela’s operates 44 stores across North America with plans to open an additional 16 over the next two years. More information at www.cabelas.com.

Peak 7 Vodka a big hit

Denver’s own Peak 7 Vodka made a splash recently into the Colorado microspirits market. The seven-time distilled Peak 7, made at Mile High Distillery, comes onto the scene on the heels of a medalwinning performance at the 2013 Denver International Spirits Contest March 2 and 3.

Twelve prominent spirits professionals judged the double-blind tasting, and Peak 7 Vodka was awarded a bronze for best vodka.

“We are Colorado people who want to make a vodka that reflects the culture and vibrancy of Denver and the Rocky Mountains,” said Peak 7 co-founder Dave Collier. “We think Colorado’s the best place Parker continues on Page 28

Eric Matelski is showing his painting of his long-time furry companion Cole at the Dog Days of Summer art show. The large painting draws attention to Matelski’s works.

Salon takes on role as gallery Dog Days of Summer art show held at Cuttn’ it Loose

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Paintings of dogs and other subjects hang on the walls of Cuttn’ it Loose Salon for a newly opened show about the hot summer days and the things we do with them.

“We have a lot of wall space, and artist Kyle Banister suggested we put up some art, so we held our first art show a couple months ago.

People seemed to like it, so now our plans are to have a new show every two months,” said Rosemarie Cabral, co-owner of the salon in CityCenter Englewood. “This show is about Dog Days of Summer and the artworks will be up for a while. Then we plan to open the next show on Sept. 19 that will be called `Breasts of Colorado,’ artist-decorated castings of the chests of volunteers that are part of a fundraiser to combat breast cancer.”

There isn’t much to see looking through the salon’s windows, but going through the door, there is art just about everywhere. There is a large painting near the door, and

A sizable crowd attended the June 20 opening of the art show called Dog Days of Summer at the Cuttn’ it Loose Salon in CityCenter Englewood.

The show features the works of 13 local artists. Photos by Tom Munds other artworks, some framed and some unframed, cover most vacant space on the walls throughout the salon.

The displays are the works of 13 local artists: Gabriel Molton, Vinton Ervin, Neil Scherrer, Gail Firmin, Kelli Jimerson, Michael Rieger, Rober Platz, Eric Matelski, Patrick Gerace, Lea Wells, Kyle Banister, Norma Purer and Rosemarie Cabral.

There are paintings of actors like Sam Elliott in cowboy attire and, further down the same wall, there are a number of paintings of several different dogs.

One of the largest works is Eric Matelski’s portrait of a German shepherd-chow mix, Cole.

“I had Cole for 12 years and the dog was my muse from the time he was a puppy. I am an artist so it is only natural that I should paint pictures of him,” the artist said.

“This large portrait was from Cole having fun on Cannon Beach in California.”

Matelski said he painted portraits of Cole throughout the dog’s life and, until now, the works have been private and he has never put them in a show.

“I had to put Cole down in September of last year and I miss him,” the artist said.

“I would like to get another dog, so I decided to display Cole’s painting in this show. If, by chance, I am able to pass along

on earth you can live, and the best place on earth to make great vodka.”

Peak 7 Vodka is currently available at Mondo Vino in Denver’s Highland neighborhood, and at Fort Collins eateries Austin’s American Grill, The Moot House and Enzio’s Italian Kitchen.

“All things being equal, there are a lot of people who would rather buy locally made spirits,” Peak 7 co-founder Desi Lopez said.

“We’re delivering that high-end quality that people have come to expect from some of the major European brands, but we’re doing it with vodka made right here in our home city.”

one of these paintings, I plan to put the money toward another dog. It will be like Cole and I go shopping together.”

The artist said, besides his dog, his current favorite thing to paint is concerts and bands.

“I like painting related to music, particularly jazz,” he said. “I got started painting portraits of musicians and then expanded to doing more interpretive paintings at concerts.”

He said the places he goes features all types of jazz, like Dazzle Restaurant at Ninth and Lincoln, where there are artists doing everything from classical jazz to Dixieland, so he has a wide variety of subjects for his paintings.

‘Unplugged’ weddings trend with brides Couples ask plugged-in guests to leave cameras, phones at home

By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews. com In a plugged-in world, even the most techno-savvy brides are asking wedding guests to ditch the digital cameras and cell phones and simply “be present.”

“Unplugged” weddings are gaining in popularity among trendy couples who want friends and family to share in their special moment without digital distractions.

Alysson Graham, who lives in San Diego but will be married this fall in Littleton, has been planning her wedding for about 18 months.

Every detail, from the dress, to flowers, to the way she and her new husband will leave the venue, has been meticulously

researched and choreographed.

“I have waited for this day all my life and I want it to be perfect,” said Graham. “And I don’t want cell phones, beeps, dings and fake camera sounds ruining the moment.”

So Graham will announce in her invitations that friends, family and even dogs are welcome, but phones and cameras are not.

Online bridal publications like “The Offbeat Bride” are helping push the trend and have even provided downloadable art and copyright-free verbiage for brides wanting to pull the cord.

While some wedding guests may not be so happy with what wedding planners are calling the new “chic,” wedding photographers are downright elated.

Photographer Jenn Hafelfinger, who has a large client base in the South Metro Denver area, thinks the move is long overdue.

“I think the concept is fantastic and I wish more brides would consider going unplugged,” said Hafelfinger, who owns Cher-

ished Snapshots in Loveland. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to compete with family members who feel it’s their job to be the photographer, too.”

Hafelfinger says in the end, it’s the client who suffers.

“I understand it’s an exciting time, but too many cameras become a distraction,” she said.

“People don’t know where to look; there’s multiple flashes going off and that makes it a real challenge to get those pristine, magazine-like photos all the brides want.”

And while she admits much of the frenzy may be driven by the immediacy of social media apps, Hafelfinger said cell phone cameras in dark venues rarely produce quality images.

“I totally see the point with keeping people out of the photos,” said Graham.

“However, for me, it’s more important that my friends and family are emotionally — not digitally — connected with me on my wedding day. Seriously, just turn it all off and enjoy the day with us.”

Two Heritage defenders move in to knock a pass away from an Alameda defender in the June 21 Broncos 7-on-7 tournament game. The Eagles lost a tough battle to Alameda, 17-13.

Heritage players test football skills Eagles play in 64-team Broncos 7-on-7 tournament

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Mike Griebel, Heritage football coach, said the June 21 competition in the Broncos 7-on-7 tournament was a plus for his young players and for his veterans.

“We are going to be a very young team this season. It’s kind of fun for an old coach to have a young team,” Griebel said. “We have young players at most of our skill positions, so a chance to match up against other teams in a

7-on-7 tournament like this helps the young players learn their positions.”

The 7-on-7 is an all passing, touch football competition involving backs and receivers and linebackers and defensive backs on the other side of the ball. No one rushes the quarterback but he must get the pass away in five seconds or less or the play is a sack.

Bronco tournament organizers divided the 64-team field into 16 pools of four teams each for round-robin play at Denver Public School’s All City Stadium. The winners of the 16 pools advance to the single-elimination tournament June 22 at the Bronco’s Dove Valley facility. The tournament champion receives an all-expense

‘A tournament like this teaches me about coverage and to react to different formations.’

Andrew Shaffer, Heritage senior linebacker trip to the nationals in Cleveland.

“We do a few tournaments like this but we really don’t do a lot of 7-on-7 against other teams,” the coach said. “These 7-on-7 tournaments are fine but, at these tournaments, the focus is the score and winning. That is why we prefer to practice as a team so we can coach and work to help our young players grow up and learn their positions. We have talented players but many of them are very

green so our goal is to get better each week. One plus for us is we senior leaders on the team and we have veteran players on the offensive and defensive lines.”

The Eagles opened in a tough battle against Alameda. A late touchdown by the Pirates gave Alameda a 17-13 win.

After a short break, Heritage took the field against Mountain Ridge. Again, the Eagles played good at times but, at the final

whistle, the Mustangs posted a 14-3 win.

Heritage senior linebacker Andrew Shaffer said competing was helpful.

“A tournament like this teaches me about coverage and to react to different formations,” he said. “It gives me experience on making quick reactions to changing situations when they alter formations and pass routes.”

This will be Shaffer’s third season on varsity and he will be expected to be one of the senior team leaders.

“My older brother was a team captain and I want to follow in his footsteps, doing what I can to help us be a winning team,” he said. “Summer football is OK but I am really looking forward to the fall season. I guess that is because football is my favorite sport.”

Drag racer has tough break at Bandimere Littleton’s Moore eliminated in opening round at speedway

By Scott Stocker

Special to Colorado Community Media Winning seems to have become a way of life for Littleton’s Kevin Moore when it comes to drag racing. He entered the 2013 season as the West Central Division 5 defending champion in Super Gas and, as the saying on the back of his T-shirt points out, “Life begins in the pits.”

Moore wishes he could have spent a little more time in the pits as well as on the track on June 16 during Grease Monkey Thunder on the Mountain at Bandimere Speedway.

After all, he had qualified in the number two position.

However, Moore was eliminated in the opening round of the Super Gas competition by Mike Wiblishouser of Laveen, Ariz.

And it was a tough loss to take, as he had entered the previous week’s action ranked fourth in his classification’s world standings.

Not only that, but he had won the Father’s Day event at Bandimere three times.

A Father’s Day present for his dad, Sam, atop the victory stand didn’t come about this time around.

The hole shot proved to be the difference for Wiblishouser as he answered the green light with a .001-of-a-second start to Moore’s .043. Yet the competition in the

class was not completed, as rain ended the day’s racing on the quarter-mile track.

A time to continue the class will be determined at a later date.

No doubt it has actually been a good life in the pits since Moore was a youngster. He started racing at the age of 16 while in high school. And he was quite successful, finishing first, third and second in the Junior Divisions at Bandimere. Those accomplishments certainly helped give him a boost along his racing career.

“I’ve been the Division 5 champion the last two years and have won it three times,” Moore pointed out. “I also won the division in 2004 and I certainly would like to make it three in a row this season.”

Moore, who drives a 1934 Chevrolet, is 43. He was born in Wichita, Kan., but likes to call himself a near native as his family moved to Colorado when he was 4. His first car, by the way, was a 1972 Vega.

“Racing has been huge, but I actually got off to a slow start this year,” Moore said. “My car is awesome, but there were just people who were better on the first days. I just had to ride the storm and regroup. This year I was out in the first round in the Phoenix Nationals, but I went four rounds in Division 7-I and two rounds in Division 7-2.”

Yet Moore is actually off to a pretty good start this season. Back on May 5, he won the Lucas Oil Thunder on the Plains in Great Bend, Kan., and on June 3 he won at Brainerd, Minn.

“I love the community in racing and the

people we’re around,” Moore said. “It’s a factor that is good all the way around, win or lose. Across the country you are able to develop relationships and there are always a host of great people when you go to the various tracks.

“It’s a sport, too, that can humble you,” Moore said. “We have gone six rounds in an event that adds up to a minute on the track. If there wasn’t more to it than just the racing it wouldn’t be worth it. But the sport is worth every minute to me. Wins are nice and you learn to appreciate them after some tough losses.”

Like many in racing, the sport is a family affair.

Moore is also quick to point out that he loves to travel to the tracks with his father and with his girl friend, Shari.

“It gives you a good feeling,” Moore said.

“It’s just been a blessing and honor to travel with dad over the years and being on the road with him is great. He’s always been behind me and that’s important. He’s such an inspiration.”

Yet it’s not all racing for Moore.

“I actually coached baseball for my son, Brendon,” Moore said. “He will be a freshman at Dakota Ridge My daughter is Briahnna. She has raced in the Junior Division for two years and I think ready to make a jump to the big cars in the Fall. She wants to be a Top Fuel drag racer. But, she also wants to be a nurse. I think both the kids have bright futures.”

The next big outing at Bandimere Speed-

way for Moore will be the Mopar Mile High Nationals July 19-21. He placed second in his division in 1991 and won the title in 1992.

What’s been the hardest, though?

“That’s hard to say,” Moore said, rubbing his chin. “I have three national event wins, three national seconds, seven Division wins and three Division Championships. I’ve also been a two-year JEGS All-star Qualifier in Chicago.”

It has been a fine experience for Sam, whose favorite car was his 1978 Chevrolet Malibu that he built in the family garage.

He’s enjoys being right there on the starting line and always has a feeling he is right in the driver’s seat with his son. Yet he’s quick to point out that racing is not the most important thing in life. And, there is much to be thankful for Moore.

“It’s family,” Sam said. “For the kids, I tell them to have at least a B-average in school, stay out of trouble and stay off alcohol and drugs. I’ve enjoyed racing and I’ve enjoyed the fact the family has stayed with it.’

While he has been able to excel on the track, Moore is also being able to excel with a medical condition.

“It was in 2007, when I won the Mile High Nationals then discovered I had MS,” Moore said.

“I had an MRI before the race then Monday found out. I’ve been very BLESSED to be in remission now for six years. I finished eighth in the World that year and that’s been our best to date.”

2005. The Wolfs, both prominent real-estate agents locally, had envisioned retiring there, and the main house was perfect for big, blended family holidays.

Bruce Wolf was the executor of his mother’s estate until his death in 2008, at which time his half brother, David Owen, took over. Owen had no interest in keeping the property and, in 2009, sold it at auction “in five minutes for $1,430,000,” according to Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Realty’s website. The minimum bid was $860,000.

The main house was built in 1884 and designed by Robert Roeschlaub, also known for the Central City Opera House.

There were also two barns, a bunkhouse and a smokehouse on the property. There were hopes that the developer could be convinced to convert the house to a community center or something similar.

“It’s a solid building,” said Rachel Parris of Colorado Preservation Inc. “It could easily be rehabbed into something really special for the community.”

Parris literally sobbed as she pleaded with the Columbine Valley Board of Trustees in April to save the Willowcroft residence.

“I can think of no better way to welcome people into your community than having this manor still standing to show people what was here before this happened,” she said through tears.

There had been talk of trying to move the house, but even Wolf said it just wasn’t practical. She and other members of Historic Littleton Inc. discussed it at one time, but they couldn’t find a place to put it. Besides, she said, the walls were a foot thick.

Historic Littleton Inc. worked to get the property listed on the Colorado State Register of Historic Places in 1993. Then Colorado Preservation Inc. put it on its list of most endangered places in 2010, right alongside the state Capitol dome.

“Willowcroft is surrounded on two sides by a neighborhood of multimillion-dollar homes, which results in significant development pressure,” reads the CPI website.

“While still livable, the main house is suffering from deferred maintenance, as are the barns and other outbuildings. Colorado Preservation Inc. has started a discussion with the owner, encouraging preservation of both the land and the buildings as an urban farmstead.”

With those discussions clearly having failed, it’s inevitable that the property will be developed. But McCauley thinks the developer should slow down a little.

“He should stop now,” he said. “Once he realizes there will be resistance, every dollar he puts in could be a dollar wasted. …

People need to ask themselves whether this high-density project is something that will enhance the open feel of the town of Columbine Valley and beautify it. If the answer is no, then people should make their voices heard. I want to send a very clear message to the town trustees that they need to represent the interests of the residents of Columbine Valley, and not those of the developer.

It really seems like they’re just doing what they want to do.”

Girl’s battle inspires ‘Courage’ ride Team rolls in memory of child who had mitochondrial disorder

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Much like his bicycle rides through the mountains, Jim Bishop has faced the challenge of life’s peaks and valleys.

The late 2000s were an especially emotional time for the longtime Highlands Ranch resident. His 6-month-old granddaughter, Samantha, began having seizures in January 2007 and the family was given only a generic diagnosis of a “mitochondrial disorder.” The illness caused a multitude of health problems, including mental and physical delays, difficulty swallowing and susceptibility to infections. As Bishop puts it, Samantha spent half of her life at The Children’s Hospital.

The years progressed and as Bishop learned more about his granddaughter’s condition, he recognized its relatively unknown prevalence. Roughly one in 3,500 children will be diagnosed with a mitochondrial disorder before the age of 10. But when other health issues associated with mitochondria — which generate much of a cell’s chemical energy supply — are taken into account, Bishop believes the number is closer to one in 1,500.

Heather Schichtel, the mother of 4-year-old Samantha, leads the 51 members of the Summits for Samantha team as they cross the finish line in the 2012 Courage Classic. Courtesy photo by Dave Anderson His research, combined with a lack of available treatment centers and specialists in Western states, was the catalyst for the creation of Summits for Samantha, a 51-member cycling group that raises

money via The Children’s Hospital’s annual Courage Classic event. The money pays for “things that would normally not be purchased by a hospital,” Bishop said.

Following his first ride in the Courage

Classic in 2009, the 56-year-old made a plan to take Samantha on a portion of the 157-mile, three-day trek through Colorado’s mountains the following year. However, she died six days before the start of the 2010 event.

“She never got a chance to get on a bike, but she rides with us every time,” Bishop says.

Since her passing, Summits for Samantha has raised more than $100,000, including a whopping $82,000 last year. Any team that raises more than $50,000 has the ability to direct where the money goes. The team, led by Samantha’s mother, Heather Schichtel, asked The Children’s Hospital to purchase an Oxygraph 2000 High-Resolution Respirometry machine for its mitochondrial clinic. After the cell oxygen saturation analysis machine came in, Bishop and Schichtel got word that it would be named Samantha’s Analyzing Machine, or S.A.M. Fundraising is not the only motivating factor for Bishop, who began taking long cycling excursions in 1974. In honor of Samantha, Bishop rides tandem each year with a Children’s Hospital patient.

“When the kids finish, it’s an experience that they will never forget and that anyone who’s around won’t forget,” he said.

Summits for Samantha has a goal of raising $100,000 during this year’s Courage Classic. To make a donation, visit www. couragetours.com/2013/team/sfs.
