Gun-control bills advance amid uproar Two sides stake out positions on day when Democrats prevail
Vouchers continues on Page 6

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Seven Democratic-sponsored gun control bills passed state legislative committees on March 4, following a remarkable day where swarms of people filled the Capitol to make their voices heard on the most polarizing political issue of the session. The seven bills passed two Democraticcontrolled Senate committees on party-line votes, following lengthy hearings that often became emotional — and sometimes got a little rowdy. The first bill hearing began just after 10:30 a.m., with passage of the seventh and final bill of the day taking place about 12 hours later. There was plenty of buzz in and around the Capitol throughout much of the day — including honking vehicles that drove around the Capitol in circles all day long, in what was a grating display of displeasure from those opposed to the gun-control measures. Those in favor of the bills also made their opinions known before the hearings started. A press conference was held by gun violence victims and family members whose lives have been affected by mass shootings, all of whom called for tighter gun laws. One of them was Mark Kelly, the space shuttle commander and husband of former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona. On Jan. 8, 2011, Giffords was seriously injured in a shooting rampage while she was hosting a constituent event that took place outside a grocery store near Tucson. The shooter, Jared Lee Loughner, used a Glock 18 semiautomatic handgun to fire more than 30 rounds in a matter of seconds into the crowd, killing six people and injuring many. Loughner ended up pleading guilty to several federal charges and is now serving life in prison.
The Colorado Court of Appeals has upheld Douglas County’s pilot school voucher program, overturning a 2011 Denver District Court ruling. The plaintiffs who set out to stop the voucher program say they’ll appeal the case to the Colorado Supreme Court. “I think it’s safe to say the final decision will be made by the Colorado Supreme Court,” said school board President John Carson, who said the program would not start until “we’ve got clearance from the legal system. It’s not clear exactly when that will be yet.” Two members of the three-judge appeals-court panel agreed in the Feb. 28 decision to uphold the voucher plan, with a third judge dissenting. “We conclude that plaintiffs do not have standing to seek redress for a claimed violation of (Colorado’s school finance law), and that the (Choice Scholarship Program) does not violate any of the constitutional provisions on which plaintiffs rely,” the ruling said. “Therefore, we reverse the district court’s judgment and remand the case for entry of judgment in defendants’ favor.” Carson said he’s cautiously optimistic. “We’re just excited we’ve gotten a real clear statement from some esteemed judg-
Man found guilty in jewelry heist Hild could face 48 years for being habitual felon By Chris Michlewicz

Mark Kelly testifies before the Senate’s State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee in support of a bill that would require all gun sales and transfers to be subject to background checks. The retired astronaut and Navy captain is the husband of former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was badly hurt when she was shot in Arizona. Photo by Vic Vela After the press event, Kelly testified in support of House Bill 1229, which requires universal background checks for gun sales and transfers, telling members of the Senate’s State, Veterans, and Military Affairs Committee that the bill would help keep weapons out of the hands of dangerous people like Loughner. “Behind every victim lies a matrix of failure and inadequacy,” Kelly said, referring to issues such as poverty and mental health. “The breadth and complexity of gun violence is great. But that is not an excuse for inaction.” But Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, did not take up Kelly’s call for action. “Public policy should not be based on emotion,” Harvey said. “Public policy should be based on logic. Even if this (law) was in place in Arizona, it would not have stopped the shooter from getting the gun.”
Horns honk for firearms
Disputs of the Kelly and Harvey kind were hardly unique on March 4. All day long, through several hours of testimony and hallway conversations, there were point-counterpoints being made on a day of frenzied activity at the Capitol. The two large committee rooms that held the hearings — including the Old Supreme Court Chambers — felt more like phone booths for much of the day, as concerned citizens and members of the press packed the standing-room only affairs. That’s not to mention the phenomenal lines that wrapped around the committee rooms, which were full of Coloradans — predominantly Second Amendment advocates — who showed up well in advance of the first hearing in hopes of having a chance to testify.

Young reader’s love lives on On book selection day, one of the most special days at Iowa Elementary in Aurora, almost 2,000 new stories crowd the school library. There’s “Diary of a Wimpy Kid.” And “Misty of Chincoteague.” And “The Good Dog.” And so many more. But the best story isn’t in a book. It’s the one being written every time Carole and Joe Hemmelgarn walk through the doors, hauling their load of books to lovingly place into the hands of every child there. It’s the one being written every time students ask about Alyssa, their 9-year-old daughter. “Do you miss her?” “Are you sad?” It’s the one being written with every hug Carole and Joe, and the children, give to each other. “It’s a gift,” Principal LuAnn Tallman says. “It’s a relationship. Someone else cares about them.” And someone else cares about Alyssa, who died suddenly six years ago, breaking her family’s hearts. “They talk of her as a personal friend,” Tallman says of her students. “We really consider Alyssa a part of our school.” That means everything to Joe and Carole. “As the years go by, people don’t ask anymore,” Carole says. “Kids are amazing. They’re not afraid to ask ….” If you asked, you’d hear a story about loss and sorrow, but also about hope. And love. And books. It begins, of course, with Alyssa. Doctors diagnosed the leukemia on Feb. 26, 2007. She was two months shy of her 10th birthday when she died 10 days later of complications from the treatment. “The heartbreak, the heartache ….” Joe’s voice trails off. Her bedroom, still as it was when she last slept in it, reflects the boundless enthusiasm and diverse interests that
endeared her to so many. Under the bed is the board with the intricate city she spent a whole day folding out of scrap paper. In a large shadow box on the wall are the colorful googly-eyed puff ball creatures she made for each holiday, a picture of her favorite go-with-her-everywhere white teddy bear with the red heart called Valentine, clothespin dolls she created, poems she wrote for her classes at Fox Creek Elementary in Highlands Ranch. She titled one “Upside Down.” Yesterday my brain flipped upside down And my train of thought crashed And thirty of my brain cells died … So please excuse my attention span in Math. “She was a goofy kid,” Joe says. At the beginning of fourth grade, she started waking up at 4:30 every morning. “She made her breakfast, fed her lizard, played the guitar. It was almost as if she felt ‘I’m running out of time here.’ ” Her best friend was her younger brother, Griffin, now 12. Smiley and funloving, Alyssa grew her hair to cut it off for wigs for cancer patients. She loved to ski, play soccer — and read. A book she was reading when she died, “The Fairy’s Return and Other Princess Tales,” still rests on her dresser. That last Christmas, she had written her parents a note. Dear Mom and Dad, Thank you for caring for me. And loving me. Stay warm and help old and poor. Thank you. Love, Alyssa. Merry Christmas. For Carole and Joe, the words took on new meaning after her death.
“When parents lose a child,” Carole says, “there’s this need to give back or do something.” They combined Alyssa’s love for reading with her compassion for the less fortunate and, a year later, in 2008, the Alyssa Cares Foundation was born. They decided to take books to schools where most of the students qualified for free and reduced lunch, a marker of poverty, and where reading scores were low. Iowa Elementary was the first school. Today, four more elementaries participate — Harrington, Doull and Swansea in Denver, and Paris, also in Aurora. Carole and Joe, with Griffin and their volunteers, visit each school three times a year and bring enough books to give every child — from kindergarten to fifth grade — one to take home, each time. So far, they have distributed more than 30,000 books, all bought with donations from individuals and corporations. “We tell Alyssa’s story, about her love for reading,” Joe says. “The book is our way of having the introduction. We talk a lot about what it can do for you in your life. … The gateway to learning is reading, and everything becomes a little easier if you can read.” But something else, a little bit magical, blossomed along the way. “We did not see how they would connect with Alyssa,” Carole says. “She’s like this mentor. They want to read for her. They say, ‘We want to be like you, Alyssa.’” And they want to share their stories, many of which, like Carole’s and Joe’s, are of struggles and loss. “Storytelling,” Carole says, “is so powerful.” LuAnn Tallman, the principal: “The books are important, but it’s Carole’s and Joe’s relationship with the children that has made the biggest difference in their reading.” Carole and Joe don’t forget. “They will recognize the kids and say, ‘We remembered this book for you,’” Tallman says.
March 8, 2013
“They’re willing to give freely of themselves to make these kids feel good about reading and feel good about life.” The connection is evident in the plastic bin under Alyssa’s bed, packed tightly with more than 2,000 letters from children at the schools. A colorful wire sculpture that depicts Alyssa reading, from Harrington Elementary, sits on her dresser. Iowa Elementary’s library is now named after her. The foundation, Joe says simply, “keeps her memory alive. It’s creating some type of legacy, and I guess we just didn’t want her story to end.” Every Christmas, Carole places under the tree a stack of gift-wrapped books for Alyssa. One by one, she’ll read them throughout the year, in the quiet of Alyssa’s bedroom or the loft at the cabin or her gravesite. “I do read out loud and I talk to her,” Carole says. “I ask her what she thinks about the book. … It’s a connection — the book — and I don’t know why.” Perhaps it just keeps the door open. Joe likes to tell the kids at the schools “every book you open, the more doors you open, and the more doors open for you.” One day, a young boy came up to him, book in hand. He turned a page. “Mr. Joe,” he said, “I’m opening a door here.” The boy smiled. Joe smiled at the memory. A connection made. One more line in a story being written one book at a time, one child at a time, by a little girl and the family who misses her. That’s a story of hope. And of love. And that’s the best story of all.

Commissioners seek library changes Vote on trustee selection process set for March 26 By Rhonda Moore

A meeting with Douglas County commissioners went nowhere for library trustees wanting to know what’s in store from the county. The Douglas County Library board of trustees met with commissioners Feb. 25 in hopes of gaining insight into the commissioners’ next step with trustee appointments. The three commissioners are expected to vote March 26 on whether they will take over the appointment process. Earlier in February, commissioners surprised trustees with LaRue a resolution to return library board appointments to the hands of county commissioners. For the past two decades, the library board has recommended members in decisions ratified by county commissioners. Commissioner Jill Repella, District 3, did not provide insight into how the appointment process would change, simply saying the library district should be overseen by elected officials. The Feb. 25 meeting was the first dialogue between the two boards and ended when Repella left abruptly, vowing to follow through with the decision. Commissioner Jack Hilbert, District 1, was not at the meeting, but conceded displeasure with the outspoken nature of library director Jamie LaRue.
‘If the issue is free speech and the director must be silenced, I think we need to be talking about the deeper role of the public library.’ Jamie LaRue, library director LaRue has been with the library district for more than 22 years and raised his profile as a feature columnist, blogger and driver of innovative library services. His most recent project at the district was increasing the library’s eBook catalog by advancing a direct link to eBook publishers. LaRue is also a plaintiff in the case against the Douglas County School District’s voucher program. To file the lawsuit, the ACLU needed county taxpayers as plaintiffs. LaRue’s was the most recognizable name on the list. The use of LaRue’s name in matters of public discourse ranks among Hilbert’s beefs. Hilbert believes LaRue’s controversial points of view hurt the library district in the 2008 election, when 52.6 percent of the voters said no to a library mill levy increase. “I believe that loss was a direct reflection of how people feel about some of the activities of the director,” Hilbert said. “We have an obligation as elected officials to make sure we achieve our greater mission. The fact is that bringing up issues that irritate the community has no benefit. You cannot separate your job title from what you’re doing. If you do anything that jeopardizes our mission, we really need to
bring that into question. We need to look at that.” Hilbert said his opinion does not reflect the opinion of the board of county commissioners. LaRue said his actions have no reflection on the library board of trustees. If the issue is a matter of First Amendment rights, it could be time to ask more probing questions, LaRue said. “The notion that we are a community of like-minded individuals could be a dangerous proposition,” LaRue said. “Who is the enforcer? Who says what we can talk about? It’s not the library. “If the issue is free speech and the director must be silenced, I think we need to be talking about the deeper role of the public library. What is our mission in public life?” Library board members support latitude in LaRue’s personal expressions and fear the board appointment policy will become a political, polarized process. “It is going to fundamentally change the nature of this board and by definition the way (the library district) is run,” said Amy Hunt, trustee at large. “That is heartbreaking for those of us who have worked to make this what it is.”
Chase suspect faces 28 charges Police say Galley fired at officers By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews. com It was a new scene for CJ Galley just days after his arrest for allegedly trying to kill seven police officers. During his first court hearing, in which prosecutors presented a 28-count complaint, Galley, 23, appeared more than willing to comply with orders from a large courtroom Galley guard standing over his shoulder. He was admonished for looking over his shoulder at observers, including a handful of his family members, and had to be told to stand when Douglas County Court Judge Susanna Meissner-Cutler entered the courtroom Feb. 28. Days earlier on Feb. 23, police say

Galley repeatedly defied their instructions and led them on a chase from Castle Rock to Parker. He allegedly fired on officers from at least three jurisdictions, and the pursuit ended when Galley and two people in his car fled on foot. Three suspects were apprehended hours later hiding in backyards in the quiet Clarke Farms neighborhood. Galley, through his appointed public defender, Emily Wickham, waived his right to the reading and advisement of the charges against him. Instead, Wickham sought to schedule a preliminary hearing within the next 60 days to discuss whether there is enough evidence to proceed with the charges, which include seven counts of attempted first-degree murder of a peace officer. Meissner-Cutler, clearly unhappy about the requested delay, warned Wickham by saying, “You need to be ready to go.” The preliminary hearing was scheduled for 9 a.m. April 18 at the Robert A. Christensen Justice Center in Castle Rock. The same date was set for co-defendant David Vasquez, 24, of Federal Heights.
Another hearing to allow the 18th Judicial District to submit fingerprints into evidence was scheduled for 9 a.m. March 14. Wickham objected to the fingerprints being entered Feb. 28 because she did not have time to review and respond to the motion. Gwen Devilbiss, who was a passenger in Galley’s vehicle and was the only person to sustain a gunshot wound during the melee, has not been charged. She was treated at a local hospital after her arrest. “Devilbiss has been released from custody pending further investigation,” a Parker police spokeswoman said. Her Facebook profile shows a picture of her with Galley, a cigarette dangling from his mouth and both with their hats turned. The chase reportedly started when Galley, of Northglenn, was confronted by officers who were trying to serve him with several warrants, including one for assault on a police officer with a weapon. Galley and Vasquez are each being held on a $5 million bond.

Master plan plots future roads, growth Town officials preparing for more people, employers By Chris Michlewicz
c m i c h l e w i c z @ o u rc o l o r a d o news.com The Town of Parker wants to make sure its roads are prepared for growth. A resurgence in housing starts and commercial development prompted officials to order the creation of a coordinated transportation master plan that combines long-term land use goals with financing strategies. The plan will be put together by several town departments — community development, parks and recreation, economic development and public works — and provide a “balance between travel efficiency and quality of life,” said Bryce Matthews, comprehensive planning manager for the town. On Feb. 25, town council approved a $200,000 revision to the 2013 budget to pay for the imple-

Parker officials are creating a master plan that will guide the way the town’s transportation system fits with future development.

A wellplanned and integrated system would help the town in its goal to foster an environment where employers will want to move, a memo to town council says.
Explosive population growth in the 1990s and 2000s caught community planners by surprise, and the existing street network and the land development pattern are the result of the rapid growth. The town has a chapter in its 2035 Master Plan that’s dedicated to

transportation, and “several individual plans and documents that address elements of the transportation network but not in a comprehensive, coordinated way,” Matthews said. The consultants will use previous traffic studies conducted
by the town, but will also capture snapshots of current traffic trends, including daily averages on main roads, accident histories and pedestrian routes. They will also take into account economic growth indicators and a list of development agreements, among other factors. Transportation master plans guide decisions to improve and expand multimodal transportation systems while considering the location of future development. They are ultimately intended to serve the needs of residents, businesses and visitors. “We will identify current transportation deficiencies and opportunities based on results of the data collection and community values,” according to a town document defining the scope. The plan will not change land uses, but rather address how the transportation system interacts with anticipated uses. Public outreach will be part of the research. Work on the plan will begin immediately and be completed around October 1. The Town of Parker’s population, which now stands at around 47,000, is expected to increase by 16 percent over the next five years, according to demographic estimates on the town’s website.

Principal steers students through change Award-winner Tarbell empathizes with middle schoolers By Jane Reuter

Principal Karen Tarbell sees to the heart of middle school students, beyond surface, sometimes-perplexing behavior to their quest for identity. “It’s like going into your closet and trying on a whole bunch of different clothes — that’s what they do in middle school,” said the leader of Parker’s Cimarron Middle School. “Their brains are growing. Their bodies are growing at an incredible rate. They’re fragile, even more so than firstgraders. “They need adults in their environment that like them in spite of all this, that will say, ‘Wow, I bet that’s really hard for you.’” Tarbell’s dedication to those middle schoolers earned her the 2013 Administrator of the Year Apple Award, the Douglas County School District’s annual recognition of top staff. “Karen is a passionate leader who recognizes that to be the best, you must always put children first,” said Mark Schaffer, DCSD’s director of middle schools. The honor is a sweet way to mark Tarbell’s final year at DCSD. She is retiring in the spring after 25 years in the district.
“Cimarron’s in a great place,” she said. “I have two beautiful grandchildren I want to spend some time with. It’s just the right time for me to make a change.” Tarbell worked first as a Highlands Ranch teacher, then as principal at Sierra Middle School. She found her niche in administration, and opened now 5-year-old Cimarron in 2008. “I’ve never wanted to do much else than be a principal,” she said. “This is where you have the most impact.” Middle school also is the age at which she believes educators have the most impact. “I think (middle school students) can get ignored,” she said. “They turn out to be great adults, but they just have to go through this.” “This” is an age of fluctuating hormones when everyday incidents can seem lifechanging. “You want to give them hope for the future,” Tarbell said. “They’ll make a mistake and sometimes they’ll think it’s the end of the world. And I say, ‘The great thing about life is tomorrow’s a do-over. I guarantee you tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now, you’re going to be presented with a similar situation. And you’ve got an opportunity to make a different choice’.” Tarbell deflected much of the credit for her award and Cimarron’s success to her staff. “This isn’t a solo act,” she said. “I have a lot of people that make me look good.”
Vouchers: Plaintiffs have questions about legality Vouchers continues from Page 1
es in the state that the program is in fact constitutional,” he said. “That’s a huge stamp of approval. We feel this decision puts us in a real good state going forward.” Plaintiff Jamie LaRue, director of Douglas County Libraries, sees it differently. “Now the score card stands that two judges think it’s constitutional and two judges think it’s unconstitutional,” he said. “Either way, it was going to the Supreme Court.” The 2011 pilot program, which the school district named the Choice Scholarship Program, granted a limited number of Douglas County students state school funding to use at private schools, most of them religious. Proponents say the program broadens educational options, but opponents say it blurs the line that separates church and state and pulls funding from traditional schools. Denver District Court Judge Michael Martinez agreed with the plaintiffs in August 2011, stopping the program days after some voucher recipients started class at their chosen schools. Becky Barnes’ autistic son was among those granted a voucher in 2011. The window of time during which the Castle Rock mother said he needed help from a teacher skilled in sensory issues has
closed, and he now attends the district’s online school. She welcomed the ruling regardless. “I’m feeling so happy for the families that will be able to use this when the program continues,” she said. “For me (and others) that weren’t able to use the program, it’s kind of a mixed emotion. But I completely believe in the program and will continue to support it.” Carson says the program is intended for children like Barnes’ son. “All kids learn differently,” he said. “Some are well suited to traditional neighborhood schools. Some work better in private settings. We just think if we really care about kids and their priorities, we should embrace those other types of options.” The plaintiffs’ concern with the program, however, isn’t solely about school choice, but its legality. “I don’t understand how a judge could conclude it was constitutional,” LaRue said. “Where (the Colorado Constitution) said public monies could not be redirected to either private or religious schools … I don’t know how else to describe what the voucher program was doing, if not that.” Judge Steve Bernard, who disagreed with Judges Dennis Graham and Jerry N. Jones, wrote a dissent that spans 56 pages of the 119-page ruling. The ruling is available online at http:// bit.ly/WjOq3S.

Suspect’s lawyers say he wasn’t involved Daniel Delgado, 29, faces charges related to jewelry burglary By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Lawyers for a man charged in the brazen burglary at Apex Jewelers say their client should not be lumped in with his alleged co-conspirators. Daniel Delgado, 29, faces eight charges related to the March 2012 heist for which Thomas Hild, 53, was convicted earlier this month. Police say Delgado was the look-out during the burglary, which netted $474,000 worth of jewels from a safe. But Nitche Ward and Linda Lee, the defense attorneys representing Delgado in a trial that’s scheduled to begin March 11 in Castle Rock, say there is no proof he participated in the crime. While acknowledging
that Delgado worked for Charles Williams, the third suspect arrested for the burglary, they say police did not have enough evidence to execute a search warrant on his home or keep him behind bars while awaiting trial, like they did with the others. Ward and Lee say there is no time stamp on the video that prosecutors say implicates Delgado’s involvement. Investigators have said it was Delgado’s run to McDonald’s in the middle of Delgado the burglary — caught on surveillance video — that led police to Williams’ vehicle, which police believe was at the scene the night the burglary took place. Ward and Lee say police cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt when exactly the burglary took place, or determine the specific make and model of a vehicle on
Jewelry: Burglars took gems worth about $474,000 Jewelry continues from Page 1
nition. That verdict will be decided by Douglas County District Court Judge Paul A. King, who presided over the jewelry burglary case. Hild, of Federal Heights, declined to testify Feb. 28 at the end of a four-day trial and left it up to his attorney, Marques Ivey, to deliver an impassioned response to the prosecution’s equally charged closing argument. Both King and Deputy District Attorney Jay Williford acknowledged that the state’s case was based on circumstantial evidence, but Colorado law mandates that there be no distinction between direct evidence and circumstantial evidence, Williford said. Ivey had said a guilty verdict would require the 12 jurors to take a “leap of faith” because there was no physical evidence linking Hild to the scene of the crime at Apex Jewelers in March 2012. When confronted by a Parker police detective with allegations that he had been seen on surveillance footage, Hild initially denied being in Parker in March, then changed his story and told the detective he was behind the strip mall near Parker Road and Mainstreet to conduct a marijuana deal. Roughly $474,000 worth of jewelry was taken from a safe at Apex Jewelers after Hild and his alleged accomplices broke into an unoccupied business pad next door and drilled through the concrete wall and steel safe. The jewelry has not been recovered. “This audacious scheme which involved planning and preparation culminated in the theft of almost half a million dollars’ worth of merchandise. Today, the jury decided to hold defendant Hild accountable for his participation in these crimes,” prosecutors Williford and Laura Wilson said in a joint statement. On a whim, Parker police lead detective Penny VanDenBerg decided to review surveillance video from a McDonald’s just feet away from the jewelry store around the time of the burglary. That’s when she saw alleged getaway driver Daniel Delgado, 28, ordering food. VanDenBerg used the vehicle’s license plate to track down the third suspect, Charles Williams, 37. The prosecution team presented evidence that they said showed Hild’s history of involvement in break-ins, including two 2003 burglaries at a Noodles n’ Company in Broomfield and an office complex in Lakewood.

a separate surveillance video from Mr. D’s Locks and Keys, which is next door to Apex. “You can’t convict somebody of a crime when you can’t say when it happened,” said Ward, who added that the prosecution’s case is relying on “speculation and assumptions.” Lee says even if Delgado was in the vicinity during the burglary, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Delgado’s children live in the Parker area with his ex-girlfriend, she said. “If you’re trying to be a look-out for a jewelry store burglary, who would be in McDonald’s ordering a burger?” Lee said. Delgado does not have a criminal history and is a disabled veteran who served in Iraq with the U.S. Air Force, Ward said. Delgado was seen with Williams on surveillance footage at a coin and jewelry shop less than one month after the burglary, but has not been accused of selling any jewelry. Parker police Detective Penny VanDenBerg
said Delgado cannot be seen on the video from Mr. D’s Locks and Keys because he is driving the vehicle that Hild and Williams left in. Ward and Lee say the 18th Judicial District’s decision to charge their client is the result of prosecutorial overreach to secure a conviction. “The right thing in this case is to let Daniel Delgado go, and they know it,” Ward said. Hild faces at least 48 years in prison if convicted on separate charges of being a habitual offender. He was found guilty on all counts March 1. Williams faces a jury trial in June. Delgado faces conspiracy charges for second-degree burglary, criminal mischief, theft and others. Ward says Delgado is only guilty of associating with the wrong people. “People want to lump them together, but he’s just not like the other two,” she said. “These are truly different individuals.”

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS
Looking forward to ‘sunshine’ this month Amid what is traditionally Colorado’s snowiest month, we are marking down a week of sunshine on our calendars. Sunshine Week begins March 10. OK, it has nothing to do with the weather — it’s about open government and freedom of information. Launched by the American Society of News Editors in 2005, the initiative is timed to coincide with the birthday of the “Father of the Constitution,” James Madison, on March 16. As a media organization, we naturally embrace this national push for transparency. So should you. “Though created by journalists, Sunshine Week is about the public’s right to
OUR VIEW know what its government is doing, and why,” explains the website www.sunshineweek.org. “Sunshine Week seeks to enlighten and empower people to play an active role in their government at all levels, and to give them access to information that makes their lives better and their communities stronger.” Think of the information you have access to that could make a difference in your
daily life, your vote, your knowledge of the community. • Crime rates in your city. • Salaries of public officials at all levels of government. • Voting records of lawmakers. • Health-inspection records of local restaurants. • Arrest reports, including the name, age and address of crime suspects. • An accounting of who resides in the county jail. • A list of convicted sexual predators in your neighborhood. • Email exchanges of public officials. • A complete spending plan by your city and county.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
What do you think of banning guns on college campuses? A bill that would ban guns on Colorado’s college campuses is making its way through the General Assembly.
On a recent morning in Lone Tree, we asked some people what they thought of this idea.
“I don’t think guns have a place in an institution of learning. I think there ought to be a way to make campuses safe without guns.” — Jim Sweller, Lone Tree
“It should be an individual choice. Our forefathers came here and had a vision of why we should be able to protect ourselves.” — Ken Spadi, Littleton
“I don’t think they should mess with our constitutional rights. … I think if someone had a gun in some of these situations it might have stopped someone.” — Sharon Mahoney, Highlands Ranch
“I’m a gun advocate, but I don’t support learning institutions or working environments as an appropriate place to access weapons.” — Jim Christensen, Castle Pines
Coffee preference is black-and-white issue I am surrounded by coffee babies, featherweights, and fraidy-cats. How many times has this happened to me? Hundreds. “Coffee, black,” I say to the waiter. “Cream and sugar?” “Black.” “Room for creamy, foamy stuff, flavorings?” “Black.” “Skinny caramel latte-latte with a sprig?” “Black.” I drink coffee as black as asphalt, the way it should be. Cowboy coffee, detective coffee, no fooling around coffee, no standing in line for five minutes while it’s tricked and teased and fluffed. I am surrounded by coffee babies. Juan Valdez didn’t go all over Columbia looking for the finest beans so you could turn your coffee into a damned float. My girlfriend is a coffee baby. It’s appalling. We’re still in Phase One, when indiscretions are generally overlooked because, well, you figure it out. When we move into Phases Two and Three, watch out. She uses sugar, which is bad enough. Coffee needs to be semi-bitter, it’s not a soft drink. If you want a soft drink, drink a soft drink. She uses half and half, which completely ruins the color. Ruins it. Blands down the pitch. These mutilations cut the flavor, the color, and the poetry of a cup of coffee. Coffee should be harsh, not a damned daisy. Flavored coffees, I can’t even write the words without shaking my head, are wrong. I insist on coffee, black, hot, meaningful, complex, erotic, and not some liquid Hallmark card. That’s what you’re drinking. A liquid Hallmark card. Let me make an artist’s comparison. Acrylic paints are for babies. Oil paints are for real artists. Don’t even ask about watercolors. These commercials where some homemaker is getting high on the aroma in her kitchen, it’s all a lie. What does hot
The list goes on. Sunshine Week reinforces the need to hold public officials accountable for making sure you can access this information. Media outlets across the country will bring you reports highlighting the importance of doing so, and we’ll do our part next week and beyond. For your part, take a few moments to think about the role access to information plays in our nation’s freedoms. Also, take time to learn more about the Colorado Open Records Act (there’s tons of information online). And remember, your right to know doesn’t end with Sunshine Week on March 16.
tan sugar water smell like? I guess maybe steaming Dr Pepper. That’s exactly what you’re drinking. Steaming Dr Pepper. Go get in line at one of those Starbuckies and ask for a Steaming Dr Pepper. They will know exactly what you mean. You’ve heard that song, “Let’s have another cup of coffee and let’s have another piece of pie!” Irving Berlin. Great song. But let’s get something straight, Irving didn’t sit there and compose some junk like this: “Let’s have another frappuccino and let’s have another petite vanilla bean scone.” Come on. I was in a hurry and thought I was in good shape. A little coffee shop in an old house in Littleton. I was second in line. I’d make it to class on time. The cute girl behind the counter said to the man in front of me, “How’s your day so far? What about this rain? Huh? We need the moisture. We need the moisture. We need the moisture.” Man, am I tired of hearing that. If we need the moisture, we need the moisture. The same person who says, “We need the moisture,” will say, “This cake is moist.” Geez. What’s with all of the moisture? What else? “These mashed potatoes are moist. These beagles are moist.” I’m second in line and they’ve had a chance to talk about the weather, and I’m thinking there’s still hope. I was wrong. The dude’s order took about three minutes, and I never heard the word “coffee” once. What’s the point? They should have a line for coffee babies, and a line for the rest of us, who know what we’re doing. I ordered coffee once and the kid said, “Room for cream?” And I said, “Room for

Teachers’ deal is far superior to others’
In the article “School board gets bright financial news,” reporter Jane Reuter states, “PERA is the teachers’ equivalent of Social Security.” PERA is, of course, Public Employees Retirement Association. The claim of equivalence is not accurate. PERA is far superior to Social Security. Hitting some highlights, PERA has a defined benefit or defined contribution choice, participants can take a lump sum
pay out at termination of employment and, most importantly, PERA invests in a wide range of securities domestically and internationally. None of these features exist in Social Security. It would be accurate to say PERA replaces Social Security, but to say it is “equivalent” obscures that PERA is much better than Social Security. Michael Wallace Highlands Ranch
Don’t let rhythm of day get out of time The other day I was just cranking out work, I was on top of my game, calls were going well and meetings even better. It really seemed that I was moving efficiently and almost effortlessly from one task to the next and with each passing achievement I just fell into a smoother groove. I found my rhythm. Has that ever happened to you? I mean that feeling when you are in step with your goals, in harmony with your work and with your team, and everyone and everything has melded into synchronicity? I have to tell you I love it when it does happen, I just wish it would happen more, don’t you? So a few thoughts about finding and maintaining our rhythm of the day come to mind. First, instead of just wishing or hoping that we catch that rhythm or find our groove, we can actually be in more control of manifesting the harmony we desire each day. We can do that by setting the pace early in the day, getting after the most pressing tasks and “to-dos” items on our list instead of starting the day doing the things we know will only slow us down. We can engage others around us in a positive, chin up, head held high, shoulders back, enthusiastic and inviting attitude. We can turn productivity into a game, seeing how much we can actually get accomplished in a certain span of time.

It’s like dancing right? When we see someone or a couple that are dancing and they are in step with the music, rhythm, and each other, they look like they are floating on air, and more importantly they look like the happiest people on earth. And when you look at people who are, well, dancing rather poorly, you can tell that it’s forced and they are clearly out of step with no rhythm whatsoever. Secondly, there are times when we find our rhythm of the day, but then something comes along that knocks us off balance, disrupts our pace and harmony. It could be a little drama, maybe a distraction, or an unexpected urgent event that causes us to slow down or maybe even come to an immediate stop. I’ll bet this has happened to you too, I know it has happened to me. The key is not to let the drama, distractions, urgent events or fire drills derail the Norton continues on Page 9

Parker mom is award finalist By Deborah Grigsby
dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com True-life Army wife Alina Wilson knew her husband’s year-long deployment would try her emotionally and physically; that was no surprise. But what she didn’t know was just how much of a toll it would take on their two young children, and that her efforts to remedy the problem would find her a finalist for the 2013 Military Spouse of the Year Award, sponsored by Military Spouse magazine. Wilson, who is married to Centennial-based soldier Capt. Jeff Wilson, is among 18 semi-finalists for a national award that recognizes military spouses from all branches of service for their commitment to the military community. Finalists compete through online voting for the title and an opportunity to further a project or initiative that benefits service members and their families. Wilson’s initiative is to raise awareness to the effects of multiple and long-term deployments on
children of military personnel. “Military kids are incredibly resilient, but they are still at greater risk for having anxiety, depression and problems at school,” said Wilson. “And that’s just the worst torture to have to see your kids go through that.” According to the Parker mother of three, there’s not an abundance of information on the subject, and what is out there is often academic and hard to apply as parent. “Schools are sometimes at a loss, too,” she explained. “Many of them, particularly if they are not near a major installation, have little or no experience with military kids.” Wilson’s own children experienced behavioral problems during their father’s first deployment. Although she was able to work with the school to find remedies, Wilson said the problem of her husband’s absence would re-emerge when they came home from school. “So I began reaching out and asking questions, and what I found was that I wasn’t alone.” Over the course of Jeff’s deployment, Wilson began to build a

It may not feel as natural as when you first started the day, however give it a few minutes and stay with it, I promise that the positive and productive rhythm you once had will be found and have you back in control and enjoying whatever it is that you are engaged in that

Board member traveling school-to-school C Larsen learns lessons during visits to district’s facilities
Co res sh
By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Douglas County School District Board Member Kevin Larsen breakfasted on basil, ham and feta cheese scrambled eggs, fruit salad and cinnamon rolls March 1, prepared and served to him by members of Mountain Vista High School’s Creative and Foreign Foods class. It was one of the most delicious perks of touring all 80 Douglas County schools, a goal Larsen set in August. With 65 schools already checked off his list, he’s still surprised and delighted by what he finds. “We’ve got a lot to be proud of,” said Larsen, elected to the board in November 2011. “I kind of know because I’m a parent. But the privilege of being able to go in and see gave me a better appreciation for the great opportunities our kids have in our school district. “It’s fun to do. It’s important to do,” he added. “When we’re (the board) looking at what resources we have, what impact does it have when we don’t have a certain resource, it gives you a different appreciation when you’ve seen it firsthand.” Larsen’s sung with high school choirs, sat in on Advanced Placement Math and elementary-level reading classes, watched engineering experiments and eaten more
Larsen sets aside time in most schools for teachers to talk with him one-on-one. Not everything he’s heard has been positive. He’s heard concerns about the district’s still-developing teacher evaluation system, its market-based pay program and complaints about unreliable network connections. By R But that, he said, is OK. “I want to hear what’s really going on,”rmo he said. “I don’t know the answer to every question, but it does give me questions I D can take back to the district. I’m listening.” publ Larsen said he’s struck not only by ad-trol l C ministrators and teachers, but students. and “I’m really impressed with how kids now guninteract and engage,” he said. “So much has moved from complete di-defen rect instruction to a lot of facilitation where C kids share in their learning. That was realclude crim eye-opening.” During a Sierra Middle School class, hethe U witnessed 21st-century education in ac-safer tion. While some students read a book in si-since lence, others discussed it in an online chat “T State room. “There was a real active discussion goingsemb on, but it was quiet except for the keys clicking,” Larsen said. Larsen intends to make the all-schools tour an annual event during his board tenure. His decision to do so was sealed when a staff member at Roxborough Primary and Intermediate School told Larsen his visit was the first from a board member in 20 years. “I don’t want any of our schools to be able to say that for at least the next three years,” he said.

He’s also learned to come with open ears, inviting staff members to speak openly. Mountain Vista High School Principal Mike Weaver and Larsen had a frank, comfortable talk before Larsen’s tour of the
Highlands Ranch school. Weaver praised DCSD’s site-based budgeting that allows school leaders to make building-level decisions. But he also said the block high school schedule has been challenging. “The 6-of-8 has probably been the thorn in the saddle for most of our teachers,” he said. “That would be the thing they question the most.”
Snow-day decision is careful choice Schools say process involves team, hours of assessment By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Bill Moffitt didn’t sleep at all the night of Feb. 24. The Douglas County School District’s chief operations officer was monitoring the first serious winter storm of the 2012-13 school year, considering whether the 90-minute delay DCSD already had called for the next day’s classes was enough. By 4 a.m., Moffitt and the team that together makes calls during inclement weather agreed it was. That decision didn’t meet with everyone’s approval. By the time the shortened school day ended, DCSD’s Facebook page had racked up nearly 1,000 comments on the delay. Some accused the district of
putting lives at risk; others said it was “the perfect choice.” It never is a hasty choice. Storm tracking starts before the first snowflake swirls from the sky, with school officials checking the National Weather Service, local forecasts and other sources. “We try to predict what the impact will be during the normal school day,” Moffitt said. About 2 a.m. on a potential snow day, snow removal crews typically start clearing school parking lots. Assigned bus drivers also are dispatched during the wee hours to drive the roads and relay their assessment to the decision-making team. About 4 a.m., Moffitt, public information office Randy Barber, county transportation officials and DCSD maintenance and grounds staff hold a conference call to compare notes and reach consensus. Barber calls Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen with the recom-
mendation. She makes the final decision. Barber then gets busy. “I’ve got kind of a laundry list of communications avenues we use,” he said. “As soon as a decision is made, we get the (DCSD) website updated, our social media (sites), our app, and text messaging feature. We let the media know. We go through that list as quickly as we can.” They also must notify staff, including bus drivers who may be en route to the bus barn. Eight-year DCSD bus driver James Stirling admits he wasn’t thrilled with the district’s Feb. 25 call, but agreed with it given the day’s steadily improving weather. “We’d have been happier if we didn’t have to do it,” he said. “Lots of times, we as drivers have a certain feeling about what’s going on and administration has other feelings. We sometimes have kind of a restless night the night before.” Even in poor conditions, school

School buses wait to pick up students outside of Ranch View Middle School during a light snow flurry Feb. 26. Douglas County School District has a snow team that evaluates road conditions and recommends delays or closures related to weather. Photo by Courtney Kuhlen buses handle well, he said. “I feel better driving my school bus in a snowstorm than my own car,” he said. “A school bus is big and heavy, so it has quite a bit of traction.” Buses are equipped with automatic, drop-down chains, as well as manually applied chains. Moffitt hopes people understand the complexities of weather-related decisions.
“I think what’s important to know is that we don’t get up and look out our window and just rely on that information to make that decision,” Moffitt said. “There’s a lot of things that have to come to pass. “The cost is not even entered into the picture. It’s about the safety of students, staff and making sure we’re delivering the education we’re charged to deliver.”

County officials’ resolution mirrors sheriff ’s position By Rhonda Moore

Commissioners on Feb. 26 urged federal s. and state lawmakers to put the brakes on now gun-control legislation with a resolution in e di-defense of Second Amendment rights. here Commissioners cited studies that conrealcluded gun control laws do not reduce crime, said more than 70 million people in s, hethe U.S. own guns, and said Americans are ac-safer from violent crime than at any time in si-since the mid-1960s. chat “The Board strongly urges the United States Congress and Colorado General Asoingsembly to refrain from enacting new legisclick-

state lawmakers, calling the measures “hasty reactions to unfortunate tragedies.” Sheriffs urged the state legislature to hold any decision for at least a year. “Our sympathies are with the victims in the Aurora theater shooting and at Sandy Hook,” the CSOC wrote. “However, the Sheriffs do not believe this is the appropriate time to introduce gun control legislation because decisions likely will be made on emotion rather than reason and that is not in the best interest of Colorado.” The 2013 CSOC board of directors include sheriffs Shayne Heap of Elbert County and Dave Weaver of Douglas County. Heap addressed backlash to his stated position in a Feb. 23 Facebook post. “I have received calls/emails lately that my political and religious views should be kept to myself,” Heap wrote. “This seems to be associated with recent trips to the Capitol to make my opposition to pending gun legislation known as well as my unashamed views as a Christian. Just to be clear, I have no intention of keeping anything to myself.
COUNTY RESOLUTION From the Board of Douglas County Commissioners resolution in defense of the rights provided in the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution: • Studies by the National Academies of Science and the Centers for Disease Control have found no persuasive evidence that “gun control” laws reduce crime. • The vast majority of all lawfully-owned firearms in the United States are not used in a crime. • Studies by the National Academies of Science and the Centers for Disease Control have found no persuasive evidence that “gun control” laws reduce crime. • The Board of Douglas County Commissioners supports efforts at the federal, state and local level to increase resources for the early identification of serious mental health issues and increased access to treatment, along with efforts to reduce the stigma associated with such access and treatment. Have a safe night in Elbert County or wherever you find yourself this evening. As we all know, it’s not possible to legislate evil so do your part to keep yourself and your family safe. God bless ….”

lation that would infringe on the rights that are protected by the Second Amendment of the United States,” county commissioners wrote in their resolution. Rather than gun-control laws, Douglas County commissioners support efforts to address mental-health issues and increased access to mental health treatment. “The challenge I see we have is not the arms or the weapon but the use behind that: the person,” said Commissioner Roger Partridge, District 2. “I appreciate the mental-health Partridge component is such a key part. That’s why I’d like to see it in there.” The resolution came about a month after the County Sheriffs of Colorado released a position paper on possible gun control legislation entitled “The Second Amendment is not a guideline but rather a right.” In its position paper, the group decried the gun-control measures introduced by
Staff report A fire that could have spread through a Parker apartment building was held in check by a sprinkler system that had been repaired hours earlier. “It was a perfect storm that ended with a sprinkle, well, with a sprinkler head activating,” said South Metro Fire Marshal Kevin Milan, following the emergency response by firefighters. During required annual testing of fire
prevention systems at the Cherrywood Apartments in Parker, a fire protection contractor found some problems with the system. Upon being notified of the issues, South Metro inspectors took steps to ensure the safety of residents by requiring that the problems be fixed. On Jan. 26, mere hours after the issue had been resolved and the fire protection system passed inspection, South Metro crews responded to a water flow alarm at the complex. A water flow alarm indicates a sprinkler head has activated. The smoldering remains of a fire were found in the laundry room of a vacant apartment, where one sprinkler head had activated.
“This fire illustrates how the fire code, working fire protection equipment, and a quick response from firefighters combine to protect lives and property,” Milan said. The accidental fire started in a ceiling fan and was initially out of reach of the sprinkler system. As the fire grew, it activated the sprinkler, which set off the alarm and got the fire department on scene to investigate and fully extinguish the fire. “Fire sprinklers are like having firefighters in house, 24/7,” Milan said. The value of sprinklers was proven again on Feb. 21 at a restaurant in Lone Tree. A fire extinguisher system in the hood above the
stove had failed to contain a serious grease fire. Two sprinkler heads activated and the fire was out shortly thereafter. Meanwhile, the manager had called 911 and firefighters arrived to ensure the fire was out. While it was an inconvenience to customers and employees, no one was hurt and the restaurant is open again. An uncontrolled fire would have caused damage that would have taken weeks, even months, to repair. South Metro Fire Rescue Authority inspectors regularly visit commercial buildings to make sure the fire code is being followed and fire protection systems are working.
Guns: Citizens take displeasure to streets surrounding state Capitol Guns continues from Page 1

Mark Dunham of Conifer — who was sporting nt to camoufl age gear and an “I and t relyVote Pro-Gun” sticker on his thatchest — was sitting alone in re’s aa hallway, after having arme torived at the Capitol about 9:30 a.m. It was 1 p.m. in the teredafternoon when he spoke thewith a reporter, and he was mak-still waiting for his name to edu-be called. “This is nothing,” he r.” said. “These are just the people who could make it today. There’s a lot more of us, and I plan to stay in here the whole day, until it concludes.” Meanwhile, there was wild theater going on outside the Capitol. Vehicles made continuous circles around the building, with drivers who opposed the gun bills participating in what seemed like an endless horn-honking display. The blaring noise from outside was muffled, but was certainly audible from inside each of the committee hearing rooms. One of the vehicles, a large-sized truck, flew a Tea Party flag and the Stars and Stripes as it circled around, and around and around... “It’s just a zoo out there,” said Juliette Hidahl of Denver, who showed up in support of the legislation. “People driving around, blasting their horns. And it really bothers me, them driving around with big (American) flags on their cars, because it’s supposed to hang in glory.”
As if that weren’t enough, a biplane flew above all the noise and hubbub, pulling behind it a sign intended for Gov. John Hickenlooper that read, “Hick, don’t take our guns.” As for the activity where all the action was taking place, committee chairpersons at times had to pound their gavels whenever applause or the occasional commentary rang out from members of the audience. One of the more lively encounters occurred during a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, when committee member Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City, asked Dudley Brown of the pro-gun-rights group Rocky Mountain Gun Owners if the organization had ever donated money to any members of the Judiciary Committee. “Yes, senator,” Brown said. “And we’re going to give money to your opponents, too.” Brown’s comment was followed by applause from the audience, and a pounding of the gavel from the committee chairwoman, Sen. Lucia Guzman of Denver.
Bills moving forward
Each of the following seven gun-control bills passed their respective committees on March 4, on a 3-2 party-line vote. The bills are expected to go before the full Senate on March 8. Democrats hold a 20-15 voting edge in the upper chamber, but it remains
to be seen how many members end up voting for the measures. The bills that started in the House of Representatives already have passed the lower chamber: • Senate Bill 195: Bans online training for those
seeking concealed handgun permits. • Senate Bill 196: Places civil liability on assault weapon manufacturers, sellers and owners, when their firearms are used in a crime. • Senate Bill 197: Re-
stricts domestic violence offenders from having access to guns. • House Bill 1224: Limits high-capacity ammunition magazine rounds to 15. • House Bill 1226: Bans concealed guns from being carried on college cam-
puses. • House Bill 1228: Requires those who go through gun background checks to pay the associated costs. • House Bill 1229: Universal background checks for all gun sales and transfers.

Call re-elected as state GOP chairman Incumbent fends off former Douglas County party leader Baisley By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com Colorado Republican State Party Chairman Ryan Call was re-elected to his post over the weekend, defeating former Douglas County Republican Chairman Mark Baisley. The two met Feb. 27 at the Highlands Ranch Sheriff’s Substation for their only debate prior to the March 2 election. “I believe the GOP, the Grand Old Party, ought to stand for the Great Opportunity Party,” said Arapahoe County resident Call, who has served as state party chair since 2011. “We need to invite into our party those who may not agree with us 100 percent. From the Reagan Democrats to the Ron Paul libertarians to the social conservatives, we need them all to be able to build a winning majority.” Baisley, who served as the Douglas County Republican Party chairman from 2011-2013, decided to challenge Call after receiving calls of support from across the state following a November election that saw Colorado Democrats take back the state House, retain control of the state Senate and help re-elect President Barack Obama.
In Douglas County, the numbers looked quite different from the rest of the state, as Republicans dominated local elections, presidential hopeful Mitt Romney secured 62 percent of the vote and the GOP had 97 percent voter turnout. Baisley’s biggest bone of contention with the state GOP has concerned a purported lack of organization and solid infrastructure. He presented a bottom-up business plan Feb. 27 that he would like to see the state GOP implement moving forward. “The single area where I hope that my candidacy will influence Ryan is in developing and implementing a much more effective infrastructure,” he said after receiving the news he had been defeated 272.33 to 158.67 by the Colorado Republican Central Committee. Disappointed in defeat, the Roxborough resident said he would support Call 100 percent and that there was no room for divisiveness in the party moving forward. “It’s just too serious right now not to stand united,” Baisley said. “If Chairman Call were to give me a buzz and ask for my participation I would be more than happy to provide that, but I think when there is a decision made by the body like that, the person who did not win needs to step aside unless he is asked by the winner to help.” Baisley also said for the party

Marijuana task force wraps up work Group’s recommendations will be sent to Legislature By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Amendment 64 Implementation Task Force’s final meeting focused on taxation to develop recommended tax levels for commercial marijuana sales. The recommendations made on Feb. 28 suggest a 15 percent excise tax that stores would pay at the wholesale level. It was also recommended that a special sales tax be implemented for recreational marijuana, with an example of a 25 percent sales tax customers would pay when making purchases. Any special voter-approved taxes would be in addition to the state’s 2.9 percent sales tax as well as any local sales taxes. The task force discussed the issue and generally agreed that, if the state-imposed taxes were too high, users would turn to the black market for marijuana. One member suggested that keeping the total cost, including taxes, of legal recreational marijuana less than the black market cost could bring an end to illegal pot sales. However, members repeatedly noted that because of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, no tax could be imposed without voter ap-
proval. As they wrapped up their discussions, it was noted that recommendations will be assembled into a report that, in the next two weeks, will be forwarded to the General Assembly to use in establishing rules and regulations for the new recreational marijuana industry. Colorado voters created a whole new industry in November by approving Amendment 64, which legalizes recreational use of marijuana by those 21 and older. When Gov. John Hickenlooper signed the voter-approved amendment into law, he created the 24-member task force to establish recommendations for regulating the new industry as guidelines for state legislative action. The governor spoke at the Feb. 28 task force meeting. He thanked the members for the thousands of hours they put into developing their recommendations. “We are entering a new and different world,” Hickenlooper said. “No matter how thoughtful we are, not every area will be adequately addressed. I think there will be unanticipated negative consequences.” He stressed the need for education and safeguards to keep marijuana out of the hands of those under 21. “We need to let our children and young people know that, just because it is now legal doesn’t mean it is safe,” the governor said.
the finish line.” Larkspur resident Chuck O’Reilly, the Douglas County Republican Party treasurer from February 2011 to February 2013, also made a play for a seat on the party’s state central committee, losing out to Lana Fore-Warkocv in a bid for secretary. He said the reason he ran was to help improve
PARKER NEWS IN A HURRY Sale of old police station OK’d
Parker Town Council approved the sale of the former Parker Police Department headquarters on Parker Square Drive. The unanimous decision Feb. 25 paved the way for the $400,000 transaction to North Cherokee Partners LLC. A previous agreement to sell the facility to the same buyers for $450,000 fell through in November, although it is unclear why. The building was used as the Parker Police Department headquarters between 1994 and November 2010 and had been flagged as a public safety issue when studied by an independent committee in 2008. A new, $21 million police station was built near Lincoln Avenue and Dransfeldt Road.

Jackie Tinnes passes away
Thirty-year-old Parker resident Jackie Tinnes, the subject of an article in the Feb. 28 edition of the Parker Chronicle, died March 2 after a month-long battle with rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancer of the muscle tissue. The Parker community came out in a show of support for the former Pine Lane Intermediate teacher’s aide, scheduling fundraisers that have helped the family pay her medical bills. Tinnes, a Chaparral High School graduate, did not have health insurance. The Tailgate Tavern and Grill is having a silent auction/ pig roast fundraiser April 14. Funeral services were planned from 5:30-6:30 p.m. March 7 at Journey Church in Centennial.

A judge in Elbert County suffered severe pulmonary reactions not too long ago which were finally diagnosed as being caused by mold that formed in the Elbert County courthouse. Ultimately, the mold was remediated, but not before the judge went through a hellish experience fighting the symptoms. Mold can grow indoors and outdoors, and it is more prevalent in localities that have high humidity problems, unlike the dry climate that favors Colorado. Nonetheless, mold does grow in Colorado and is especially prevalent in areas affected by water and structures built with damp or wet building materials. The Center for Disease Control (“CDC”) does not recommend sampling for mold, since although there are many different types of mold, all of them present a health hazard. Mold can readily be recognized by a damp or musty smell, and the areas that have been subjected to water leaks and improper drainage will generally have telltale water stains and marks that one can be sure either contain mold or will contain mold. Once discovered, the mold should be remediated quickly. Depending on how big the mold infestation is, the cost of remediation will vary from several hundreds of dollars to many thousands. In any
To help prevent the growth of mold, the following steps are recommended: • lower indoor humidity with air conditioners, de-humidifiers and exhaust fans • inspect hoses & fittings on appliances, sinks and toilets • use household cleaners with mold-cleaning ingredients like bleach • opt for paints and primers that contain mold inhibitors • clean gutters to avoid overflow and check roof for leaks • avoid carpet in wet areas like basements and bathrooms case, drying out the affected areas may not be enough; the requirement may be that all affected areas must be removed and replaced. Mold damage has resulted in some monstrous jury verdicts including $14 million in Florida, $18 million in California and $32 million in Texas. Some well-known individuals have initiated mold law suits including Michael Jordan, Ed McMahon and Erin Brockovich. As a result, insurance companies now often have disclaimers for mold damage, so it is important to read the policy to determine if such an exclusion exists. If it does, the insurance adjuster will generally attempt to deny cover-
age claiming that the homeowner caused the mold or contributed to its spread by allowing wet areas to fester. However, if the mold is caused by a sudden and accidental incident, such as a pipe bursting, the cost of remediation probably will be covered by insurance. The reasoning is that technically the pipe burst and that caused the claim, not the mold itself. Roughly 22% of all homeowners’ insurance claims result from “water damage” and “freezing”, which includes remediation. Some insurance companies also offer mold riders to the general homeowners insurance policies. However, a mold rider could cost
an additional $500 to $1,500 a year on an existing policy, and more in humid climates. If your insurance carrier refuses to provide a rider because of the increased risk, some casualty companies might sell you a standalone mold policy if you are still concerned. However, the premiums for a standalone mold policy might range from $5,000 to $25,000, making the cost of the policy disproportionate to the value of your home. In short, the prevention of mold through safeguarding measures is, in the long run, far less expensive than remediating mold or carrying expensive insurance. The homeowner must make that choice. ■

Members of the cast of Castle View High School’s production of “Anything Goes” will perform March 7, 8 and 9. Photos by Courtney Kuhlen
Play is ‘one of best ever’ for CVHS Student-produced ‘Anything Goes’ wraps up this weekend By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com
I
n a school known for its artistic accomplishments, describing a production as “one of the best to ever hit the Castle View High School stage” is no small bit of praise. But that’s how confident those involved in CVHS’ “Anything Goes” are. “Anything Goes,” playing March 7, 8 and 9, is the famed 1934 Cole Porter musical comedy about lover, liars and clowns on a transatlantic cruise. It follows the SS American out to sea and on a course to love with a crew that includes singing sailors and other unexpected characters. Castle View places a strong focus on the arts, with a dedicated Visual and Performing Arts Academy. “That’s the focus of a fourth of our students,” said theater teacher Stephanie Morris. Funds raised from the production of “Anything Goes” support the Visual and Performing Arts Academy. In part because of Castle View’s empha-
Cast members of Castle View’s production of “Anything Goes” get ready before a dress rehearsal Feb. 27. sis on the arts, Morris said the musical’s quality exceeds typical expectations for a secondary school performance. “We really try and set our standards above what you would say a high school production is, with all aspects of our show,” she said. “We’ve had so many people come to us and say, ‘We didn’t think they were
high school students.’ It’s so professional they forget during the performance they were watching high school-aged students.” Morris describes “Anything Goes” as allAmerican entertainment that includes tap dancing, jazz music and a love story. “All those things you look for in a musical,” she said. Students not only star in the show, but also designed costumes and built sets. Rehearsal began in January, running after school five days a week and on Saturdays. “This is like a varsity team sport,” Morris said. “It is that level of rigor and commitment. It’s just a different game. All their practice instills confidence.” While Morris wants to pack the seats for the performances, she doesn’t want people to come solely out of a sense of obligation. “It’s worth seeing not only for the hard work the kids have put in, but for the quality of the production,” she said. “We want people to know what’s going on at Castle View. The arts are really thriving in our public education in Douglas County. Come and see. You’re going to be surprised.” Performances are at 7 p.m. March 7, 8 and 9 with a 1 p.m. March 9 matinee. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students and can be purchased online at www. castleviewtheatre.com.
Young opera singers set for competition Vocalists range in age from 23 to 32 By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Opera lovers are invited to enjoy the finals of Denver Lyric Opera Guild’s Competition for Young Singers from 1 to 5 p.m. March 16 at Bethany Lutheran Church, 4500 E. Hampden Ave. in Cherry Hills Village. Admission is free and finalists from the March 2 preliminaries will compete for recognition and cash awards totaling $34,240. Prizes range from $250 to $6,000, given to 10 finalists and five honorable mention finalists. The competitors range in age from 23 to 32 and come from training programs at Colorado State University, Metropolitan State University, University of Colorado, University of Denver, University of Northern Colorado, as well as the Central City Opera House artist training program, Opera Colo-
rado Young Artists, Opera Fort Collins and Opera Theatre of the Rockies young artists’ ensemble. In 2012, grants totaling $30,000 were awarded by the Guild to these schools and organizations. Among the semi-finalists were Highlands Ranch soprano Phoenix Gayles and Tom Kittle of Centennial, a student at Lamont School of Music. Jane Gibson, the DLOG publicist, estimated that a young opera singer’s education costs about $300,000, so these awards are truly helpful. Guild literature calculates that the organization has contributed over $1 million to the next generations of young, aspiring opera singers. “Giving Voice to Opera” is the Guild’s appropriate motto. The Guild also hosts “Opera on Tuesdays” luncheons for its approximately 250 members during the year. (About 64 live in Arapahoe County and 14 in Douglas County.) Luncheons are held at various country clubs and offer a musical program and

Admission is free. lunch. A Black Tie Gala in early spring helps raise money for the competition awards and local and regional opera tours are planned. Luncheon tickets cost $30 or $35, which helps to pay for the singers’ lunch. On April 2, for example, the Competition award winners will perform at Pinehurst Country Club ($35). Reservation checks to DLOG, P.O. Box 339, Englewood, CO 80151, must be received by March 28. The May 7 meeting will be at Columbine Country Club in Littleton, with a $30 reservation due by May 2. Opera Ft. Collins apprentice artists will perform. New members are welcome ($40). For information, call 720-239-3120 or visit denverlyricoperaguild.org.
Two business turnaround experts have added Colorado spots that need saving in this season’s TV episodes. Hotel “fixer” Anthony Melchiorri, who has more than 20 years in the hospitality business and has turned around high-profile places, including The Algonquin in New York City, will tackle the Western Riviera Motel in Grand Lake on “Hotel Impossible” at 8 p.m. MST March 25 on the Travel Channel. While the hotel needed some major overhauling, Melchiorri reportedly fell in love with Grand Lake. “I will go on record saying it’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever been,” Melchiorri told Sky-Hi News. “I was blown away. Grand Lake is a piece of art. Every single time you turn around there is either frozen lake with a beautiful cloud over it, or there’s a part of the lake that’s not frozen with a sun over it, or there’s a mountain by itself or a formation of mountains. I’ve not seen the same landscape since I’ve been here. “And then you take this beautiful town of Grand Lake that looks like the back lot of a Hollywood studio and you incorporate that with just beautiful, open-hearted people who know each other — it’s my favorite place, and it is the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. And I thought Alaska and Hawaii would be tops, and this surprised me.” For more on Melchiorri and “Hotel Impossible,” go to www.travelchannel. com/tv-shows/hotel-impossible. For information on the Western Riviera, go to www.westernriv.com/. Meanwhile, longtime food and beverage industry consultant John Taffer tries to save failing watering holes on Spike TV’s show “Bar Rescue.” He and his crew traveled to Denver last year to turn around Zanzibar Billiards, 2046 Larimer. They spent four days filming, staff training and remodeling the Ballpark-neighborhood joint. The show’s third season premiered on Feb. 10, and Taffer’s travels this year will include Denver. Spike TV hasn’t announced which bar Taffer will bring his brutal honesty to yet. For more on the show, go to www. spike.com/shows/bar-rescue/.
Something old, something new
Old Major, a restaurant that specializes in “farmhouse fare,” is a major addition to Denver’s cuisine scene. During a delicious and informative press event recently, chef/co-owner Justin Brunson (Masterpiece Deli), walked us through a multicourse tasting, which included wood-fired Pei mussels, black truffle and pistachio sausages, the smoked fish plate, a vegetarian three-course tasting (which changes every Monday), pan-seared pork chop, pan-roasted Colorado striped bass, duck fat French fries, wood-fired Brussels sprouts and braised mustard greens. (We shared, trust me!) Not to mention the crust-crunchy pretzel rolls with mustard butter that precedes each meal. What, no dessert? Are you nuts? Pastry chef Nadine Donovan delighted us with a crème caramel adorned with a crisp slice of bacon and a maple syrup sauce and her interpretation of baked Alaska. Parker continues on Page 21

Love in air at Castle Rock’s Philip S. Miller Library ‘Romancing the Arts’ award-winners chosen By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The Greater Castle Rock Arts Guild, GCRAG, handed out awards on Feb. 15 to artists selected by judges Dix Baines, a well-known painter, and Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Jay Dickman for its “Romancing the Arts” exhibit at the Philip S. Miller Library, 100 Wilcox St. in Castle Rock. The exhibit runs through March 17 during library hours. Award winners are: • Best of Show: Karen Kirkpatrick for her photograph/composite, “After the Storm,” depicting a small flock of ducks in the water under a stillstormy-looking, intensely colored sky. (Kirkpatrick was also winner of the 2012 Eye of the Camera Exhibit in Littleton, and her reward is a show at the
Littleton Museum, with co-winner Fee Chin, which opens on April 18.) “My work attempts to document the quiet beauty found in my surroundings. Light and shadow hold a strong attraction for me, as each adds drama and emotion to a scene, giving it an impact that transforms the ordinary into something worthy of being viewed,” she said. • First Place: “Canyon Queue,” oil by Rick Young. • Second Place: “Tres Chic,” bronze by Dave Finster. • Third Place: “Foggy Lens,” photograph by Ellie Ludvigsen. • Honorable Mentions: “Contemplation,” photograph by Karen Kirkpatrick; “Ikiru (Life):Coexistence,” mixed media by Tadashi Hayakawa; “Many Seasons,” pastel by Chris Holroyd; “Painted Snow,” photograph by Jeff Struthers. Also: “Retired Utility Pole,” photograph by Jeff Struthers; “Two Windmills on the Plains,” photograph by Jeff Struthers; “Rocks and
Water,” pottery by Mia Cassar; “Silver,” photograph by Sherry Harder; “Soft and Chilly Stroll,” photograph by Ellie Ludvigsen; “Village Church,” oil by Rick Young. There was also People’s Choice voting in three categories: Two Dimensional — “Aspen Trilogy,” by Jeanne Trueax; Photography — “Old Stone Stairs” by Sharon Feder; and Three Dimensional — “Clock,” stained glass by Cliff Wallace. GCRAG members are working hard on a new space at 341 Wilcox St., to be called “Art on the Edge.” It will be a gallery, teaching and special events spot for the community and the organization is also focusing on raising additional funds. It will open in April with two shows: “Dimensions of Colorado” and “Good Things Come in Small Packages” (miniatures). Ellie Ludvigsen is president and is listed on the Guild’s website as the person to call for information: 303660-0856.

Wetting our whistles were house red and white wines produced for Old Major by Infinite Monkey Theorem owner Ben Parsons, and a variety of craft cocktails from bar manager Courtney Wilson (formerly of Williams & Graham). The space, at 3316 Tejon St., was a roller-skating rink back in the day, and Old Major’s decor pays homage to its roots. The hostess stand, for example, is on roller-skate wheels. The sconces at the entrance were fashioned from split buckets that held roller skates. The floor is from the original roller rink. FinArt designed many of the design elements in the modern farmhouse decor. Dinner is served seven nights a week, and reservations are available at www.opentable.com or by calling 720-420-0622.

Chaparral’s Katrina Bacovcin, shown here during regular-season action, scored 8 points in the Wolverines’ Sweet 16 win over Denver East on March 5. File photo by Ron Chenoy free throws and finished 23-of-30 compared to 9-19 for the Angels. Dayton DeMarais had 12 points for Chaparral, including 8-of-8 from the foul line, and Kyleigh Rees and Katrina Bacovcin each had 8. “We got the butterflies out,’’ said Baker. “We knew what we wanted to accomplish. We’re all a bunch of seniors except me, so we know what we want to do and we had it in us. We know each other, we know what we’re going to do. Our chemistry’s definitely good.’’ Heitmeier, came off the bench to score seven points. She’s just happy to be playing again after missing most of the Continental League season with a foot stress fracture. Heitmeier also missed last season with a knee injury and suffered a broken nose as a sophomore. “They played her a little soft in the first half,’’ Speights said. “I told her that to get the drive she’s going to have to shoot the 3. She got the 3 from the left side and it was just a huge, huge momentum deal.’’ East’s inside game - particularly 6-1 Francesca Kelly - kept the Angels, who had just one 3-pointer, in the game. Kelly, who was joined by another big body in 5-10 Khadijah Vigil, had a game-high 24 points but was 1-of-5 from the foul line with a miss on the front end of a one-and-one in the final 4:28. “They had it going down under, so we had to stop that and stop Frannie,’’ Baker said. “She’s a great player.’’ Speights turned to a 2-3 zone after Kelly scored six of East’s eight unanswered points to start the game, and it was especially effective in the second quarter when the Angels were 1-for-12 shooting over the final seven minutes.

Denver East is everybody’s favorite to eventually win the Class 5A boys basketball state championship. It’s anybody’s guess which team in a balanced group of contenders is the best. “You just want to survive in the playoffs,” ThunderRidge coach Joe Ortiz said. “There are going to be good matchups where people are going to have to go home that are good teams. “If you took East out of it and just played a tournament and kept replaying it, you would never get the same winner. It could play out different each time.” A slew of teams from the south metro area advanced to the Sweet 16 games scheduled for March 6. Mountain Vista, ThunderRidge, Cherry Creek, Legend, Heritage and Arapahoe each had hopes of extending their seasons to the Great Eight, to be played March 8 at the Denver Coliseum.
Here’s a look at some of the recent 5A playoff action:
• Jake Pemberton scored 22 points and Chandler Wiscombe connected on a 4-foot
bank shot at the buzzer to lift Mountain Vista to a 59-57 second round triumph over Lincoln last Saturday. • ThunderRidge held off Overland, 6757, as Joe Marucci scored a game-high 23 points for the Grizzlies. • Legend benefited from several secondchance points and upset Grandview, 75-67, to advance into the third round. Jonathon Cosmann scored 22 points, Blake Truman had 14 and Elijah Cherrington tossed in 10 points for the Titans. • Hot-shooting Heritage grabbed a 19-point lead after three quarters and held on to eliminate Fountain Fort Carson, 7566, to notch its sixth consecutive win. The Eagles shot 63 percent from the field and had five players in double figures, led by Josh Stewart who had 13 points. Danny Strine and Eli Ziegler each had 12 points while Ryan Singer and Garrett Delphina both contributed 11 points. • Arapahoe held Columbine to 23 points in the first three quarters in the Warriors’ 61-47 second round triumph. • Cherry Creek jumped out to a 22-8 lead on its way to defeating Aurora Central in a second-round game March 2. • Defending Class 5A champion Chapar-

Highlands Ranch vs. Ralston Valley, 8:30 p.m. “I feel we just ran out of gas,’’ said East coach Dwight Berry. “Our go-to player, she might have run out of gas. We had our opportunities. We were right there at the basket, and we’ve got to finish it. “Kudos to Tony and Chaparral, they earned the win. They played a complete four quarters and we played 3 ¾. That’s why they won the game.’’ “Their kids play about three quarters a night, so it’s how do we put East in a situation where they have to make decisions,’’ Speights said. “That’s what we did to them, and we made better decisions late because we’ve been in that situation before.’’

Chaparral (19-5) will face No. 1 seed Grandview on March 7. “Here’s the biggest thing: we thought that they hadn’t played 32 minutes of basketball in a long time because of the league they play in,’’ Speights said after Chaparral outscored East 39-30 in the second half after a sloppy opening 16 minutes by both teams. “They haven’t lost a game in their league in 10 years, and in our league we’re forced to play. “We get beat by (Highlands) Ranch, they make us play 32 minutes. We take Regis to the end. At Rock Canyon we play 32 minutes. Even when we played Monarch last week (second round), we had to play 32 minutes to win. “So one of our keys is, when we play 32 minutes, we win.’’ The senior-laden Wolverines got a big boost from 6-0 junior Natalie Baker along with oft-injured Kendall Heitmeier, a 6-0 senior. Baker led Chaparral with 17 points, including six in the second quarter after East (20-5) had gone ahead 15-8. The Wolverines cut the deficit to 18-16 at, and it was nipand-tuck until Heitmeier hit a 3-point basket that put her team ahead for good, 44-42, with 5:40 left. The Angels made it 49-48 on a 3-pointer by Michelle Cox with 1:40 left, but finished the game with six unanswered points. After shooting 23 percent in the first half, Chaparral settled in and was 10-of-21 in the second half to East’s 11-29 (6-12 in the third quarter.) The Wolverines made their first 14

Top acts to perform at magic show Parker event will promote bid for foundation, museum By Chris Michlewicz
c m i c h l e w i c z @ o u rc o l o r a d o news.com One of the town’s largest-ever magic shows will promote an effort to make Parker the home for a foundation dedicated to preserving the ancient art. The 501(c)(3) nonprofit arm of the Society of American Magicians is looking in Parker for a site for its headquarters, which will house a museum, library and performance theater for magicians of all ages. The foundation, in fact, is already based in a portion of the Mainstreet Center in downtown Parker, but the search is on for an existing 10,000- to 20,000-squarefoot space to accommodate a world-class magic center, said Dan Rodriguez, the foundation’s president and executive director.

The show is scheduled for 7 p.m. March 15 in the S.A.M. Magic Center at the Mainstreet Center, 19650 E. Mainstreet. The foundation has inquired about buying the Mainstreet Center from the town, and submitted a proposal last year, but no decisions have been made and the group is continuing to look for a site, Rodriguez said. Some artifacts and collectibles from the world of magic, including an early magic magazine from the 19th century, are on display at the Mainstreet Center, but many are still packed away in storage. Rodriguez, who also serves as the president of the Parker Chamber of Commerce, says he hopes the center will move into its new home within 12-18 months and become a tourist destination. The upcoming magic show is intended to build excitement and interest around the idea. The 12 acts are traveling to the Denver
