Overhaul of school finance advances Republicans balk at $1 billion cost By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A bill that would lead to immense changes in how Colorado schools are financed passed the Democratic-controlled state Senate on April 2, following a party-line vote. Democrats see the “School Finance Act” as Report an opportunity to modernize an antiquated school finance formula, and to create a more equitable structure by which districts are funded. But Republicans argue that the 200-page bill does nothing to put in place the reforms that the state’s education system needs. And they cringe at the $1 billion price tag that accompanies it. Senate Bill 213 would fund full-day kindergarten, provide preschool for at-risk children, and would increase needs-based programs for special education and for students who are learning English. The bill also expands funding for students who are involved in gifted and talented programs at schools, and it gives school districts the opportunity to have extended school years and school days, if they choose to do so. In addition, the bill would make changes

Going boldly bald for a cause Eighteen shave heads in Parker for pediatric cancer research By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com The room was buzzing with the sound of electric shavers and uncontrollable laughter. Bald heads abounded by the end of the “Shave the Mayor” event benefiting the St. Baldrick’s Foundation March 30 at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center. Roughly $6,000 was raised for pediatric cancer research as 18 people, including organizer Mike Waid — the mayor of Parker — were shaved to the scalp. Waid grew out his hair and beard for five weeks and said he eventually started to look like “sasquatch”; now he doesn’t recognize his reflection in the mirror. Waid auctioned off the opportunity to shave his head for $200 and raised a total of $1,200 for St. Baldrick’s, a nonprofit that operates with low administrative costs so more money goes toward cancer research. Waid’s 10-year-old son, Matthew, even got in on the action and grinned from ear

Eric Samora, 11, is surprised to feel his head after stylist KoriJo Whitsitt shaved the Parker boy’s mop for the Parker St. Baldrick’s Day festivities. About $6,000 was raised for pediatric cancer research as 18 people volunteered to go bald. to ear when his dad took the shaver to him. The mayor was especially touched when the Nation sisters — Lisa, Patti, Cindy and Autumn, of Parker — walked in and volun-

Commissioners reclaim library appointments Elected county officials to recommend, approve trustees By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com The Douglas County commissioners took over the process of nominating and appointing library trustees, with a 3-0 vote at the March 26 commissioners’ meeting. Prior to the change, the Douglas County Library District Board of Trustees had, since the early 1990s, recommended new appointments for ratification by commissioners. With adoption of the new policy, two of the three commissioners will act as a nomination committee for new trustees when positions open, and a two-thirds majority vote of the commissioners will be required to approve the recommendation. The commissioners’ decision was pre-

ceded by nearly two hours of public comment, most of it critical of their proposal. Of the handful of people who supported the commissioners’ decision, half were rejected library trustee applicants, or were related to someone who ap- Repella plied but was not selected as a trustee. The now-discarded process of the library board handling its own nominations is one of two protocols allowed under state law, which prohibits an elected trustee board. The second option is to have county commissioners appoint trustees, as they do with the planning commission and other public volunteer boards and commissions. Critics of the commissioner-appointed process fear it will politicize the library board. Commissioners adopted the process to create greater accountability to taxpay-

ers, said Commissioner Jill Repella, District 3. “The first thing that goes through my mind and my heart is how disappointed I am that the word `politics’ is being thrown around in this issue,” Repella said. “This is about governance to me. It is a very large budget of taxpayer dollars. If something goes wrong, I ask who’s responsible. “Ideally a separate government should be an elected body,” she said. “This is the only connection to an elected body the citizens have. We are taking it from a weak link to a stronger link.” The commissioners’ solution was to create the two-commissioner nomination committee for a trustee nomination. The committee will submit its recommendation to the three-member board of county commissioners for ratification. The commissioners’ resolution was designed to mirror the provisions allowed in Library continues on Page 9

Board eyes water deal Six south metro providers sign WISE agreement By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Parker’s busiest water provider will soon decide whether to strike a deal that will import water from Denver and Aurora. The Parker Water and Sanitation District board of directors will hear a presentation later this month from new manager Ron Redd, who will recommend that the district enter into WISE, the Water, Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency project. Six members of the South Metro Water Supply Authority, including Pinery Water and Wastewater, the Cottonwood Water and Sanitation District and Stonegate Village Metropolitan District, committed to WISE by signing intergovernmental agreements in late March. The agreements will bring nearly 7,000 acre-feet of recycled water to the south metro area. An acre-foot, Water continues on Page 9

History whispers in Spanish place names The green road signs flash along Interstate 25, heading south. Pueblo, this exit. Cañon City, Salida, Buena Vista, that exit. About 50 miles south of Pueblo, you can head east on State Highway 10 to La Junta and Las Animas. A right on 160 west takes you into Huerfano County and along a thread of towns with names like La Veta, Blanca, Alamosa, Monte Vista, Del Norte. That’s the road my husband, our son and I are traveling to Durango in southwestern Colorado, not far from the New Mexico line, a region we are exploring for the first time. Along the way is a faded blue billboard that talks about Río Cucharas, the river that flows from La Veta to Walsenburg. What does that mean? my husband asks. Spoons River, I answer. He smiles. It’s a whimsical image — but one, I realize, that never gets painted unless you know the significance of the words. It makes me wonder: How much of place and culture gets lost in non-translation? So much of Colorado’s heritage is entwined in the Spanish names of its towns, rivers, mountain ranges, counties and streets — even the state itself (Colorado, red or colored). But throughout generations, we’ve Americanized their pronunciations so much — Salida becomes Sa-LIEdah rather than Sa-LEE-dah, which means exit — that we don’t recognize the language as Spanish anymore. They become, simply, words without definitions. And without meaning, the link to the past breaks. “For non-Hispanos, that connection has been lost in many ways,” said Bill Convery, Colorado’s state historian. “We lose a little bit of the richness of our culture when we forget the meaning of a place name. Understanding these meanings helps establish our own sense of place — it gives us grounding in our community which, as Americans, is constantly in flux.”

For many Hispanos the connection remains alive but fraught with emotional complexity, said Maruca Salazar, executive director of Museo de las Americas, a Denver organization committed to preserving Latin American art and culture. “Behind all of this, there is a very intense past,” she said. “The connection was not a friendly one — it was an imposition. … We come from a conquered nation, a conquered people. That makes us very unique.” Colorado has been home to many ethnic populations — Native Americans, the first, going back more than 10,000 years; French; Germans; Irish; and others. But the first and largest non-native group was the Hispanics. In the 1500s, Spanish expeditions followed Native American trails in a search for, among other things, gold. Spanish explorers drew the first maps of the state. The Arkansas River in Pueblo, south of Colorado Springs, marked the border between New Spain and the U.S. When Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821, it offered land grants to reinforce land claims against encroaching U.S. settlers. But following the Mexican-American War in 1848, in which a number of southwestern states including New Mexico, California and southern and western Colorado were ceded to the U.S. for $15 million, many landowners were stripped of their property by U.S. courts. A battle for identity ensued. “Imagine going to bed Mexican and

waking up American,” Salazar said, quoting her mother-in-law, whose family has been in Colorado for seven generations. “Imagine losing your land. …” The railroads in the 1870s also transformed the region. The Denver & Río Grande Railroad wanted to reach Mexico and the Gulf Coast across the Río Grande (big river), so it included the river in its name to appeal to its continental aspirations. It established towns such as Alamosa (cottonwood) and Antonito (little Anthony) to compete with older Hispanic settlements, Convery said. But the railroads also pushed many Spanish-speaking farmers and ranchers into the northern parts of the state as English-speaking settlers moved in and changed the economic and political landscapes. They left behind, however, an enduring trail of history in places, traditions and influence. Many of the names that dot the southwestern part of the state, such as Barela and Cordova, come from the families that first settled the area. Conejos County is one of Convery’s favorite stories. The county moniker, which means rabbits, came from the naming of the creek, so billed in the 1850s because its waters “ran as fast as a rabbit.” Huerfano County comes from the volcanic butte that stands as a lonely sentinel — a huérfano or orphan — on the plains near Walsenburg. It was a major landmark for Hispanics traveling through the area, Convery said. The tiny town of Del Norte (from the North) got its name as the northern end of the Río Grande. Franciscan monks, following the Spaniards who named the San Luis (Saint Louis) Valley, watched the summer sunlight turn the earth of the nearby mountains a deep red. “It looks like blood,” Salazar said. “That’s what the Franciscans saw.” And so they called the range Sangre de Cristo, the

blood of Christ. French and Germans also left their marks. Walsenburg was initially La Plaza de los Leones after the León family, but was renamed by the German immigrant Fred Walsen. The French decided to call Río Jesús María (River of Jesus and Mary) the Platte (flat — a pronunciation from French) instead. Spanish explorers named the river near Durango Las Animas Perdidas en Purgatorio (the lost souls of Purgatory). But French-Canadian traders called it Purgatoire, and later, Convery said, American cattlemen rechristened it Picketwire. Three different names — all reflective of the changing nature of history around the river. Like all names, they are stories that tell us how we got here. But we have to listen — and sometimes that means making the effort to translate. “Understanding the meaning and history of a place,” Convery said, “grounds us and helps us establish that we belong.” “Identity is an essential element of your psyche,” Salazar said. When “I know where I come from, I know what my values are.” As I scan a map of Colorado, poetic names jump at me — Dolores River, the river of sorrows. La Junta, the junction. Las Animas, the souls. What stories, I wonder, lie hidden in their names? And then there’s Mosca, a town of 674 people in the San Juan Valley whose name means fly. “I don’t know why it’s called Mosca,” Convery said. “But there’s got to be a story behind it.” One, assuredly, that gives meaning to life in Colorado today.

Mayor says Parker thriving Waid gives update at State of Town 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 Parker’s future is so bright, Mayor Mike Waid needs sunglasses. Waid provided a snapshot of ongoing trends and initiatives during the fourth annual State of the Town event April 2 at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center, and donned a pair of shades to demonstrate his point about the shining beacon that he believes is the town’s future. Introduced by his family, Waid began by describing the charm that has defined Parker since it was established, as Pine Grove, in 1864. He mentioned landmarks like the Mainstreet Center and Ruth Memorial Chapel, a quaint church in downtown Parker that is listed

on the National Register of Historic Places. It continues to host weddings and community events. Waid also took the opportunity to laud more recent additions to Parker’s landscape, like the 530seat performing arts center that hosted the Rotary-sponsored State of the Town. “We are what many towns dream to become,” he said. While addressing the rise in residential housing permits, from 112 in 2010 to 419 in 2012, the mayor said “the secret is out” and more people are discovering that Parker is a good place to both raise a family and open a business. He pointed out that elected officials are committed to making sure Parker grows responsibly. Waid talked about the town’s ability to withstand the economic recession. “We weathered the storm quite well,” he said. Sales tax revenues, which never dipped severely, are increasing. Vacant storefronts have

been filled, in part, through townsponsored programs like the Business in Transition Program, which helps fledgling businesses grow by paying a portion of their rent over the first three years. Citing the creation of publicprivate partnerships and the approval of two urban renewal districts to clean up “blight” and attract businesses, Waid said the town is taking a proactive approach to economic development with the hopes of adding jobs. Parker is a “thriving community” with big recreation plans on the horizon, including the expansion of the Parker Recreation Center and possible addition of an adventure race course at Salisbury Equestrian Park, Waid said. The town is also planning on establishing a public ice rink, revising the master plan for O’Brien Park and partnering with a private entity on a regional competitive aquatics center. The mayor, who took office in December, reiterated his call for

Parties split on $20.5 billion state budget plan All Senate Republicans oppose ‘long bill’ By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com The Colorado Senate on March 28 approved a $20.5 billion budget that Democratic lawmakers are touting as evidence of an economy that is moving in the right direction. But their Republican counterparts see the so-called “long bill” as an example of irresponsible overreach at a time of uneven economic growth. The budget, which begins its fiscal year in July, was passed on a partyline vote of 19-15, with one Democratic

lawmaker absent. Highlights of the budget include more money for public schools and colleges, and construction projects. Also, state employees are set to receive their first pay increases in years. The state’s ability to do these things is the result of a stronger economy, aided by stock sales, a rise in employment last year, as well other positive economic factors, such as growth in retail sales and the housing market. However, economic forecasters caution that there are factors that could negatively impact the economy in the next year, such as the possible rise of interest rates and a shaky European economic environment. Sen. Pat Steadman of Denver, the chair-

that. “We cannot add more money to add a Band-Aid to the bleeding,” Lambert said. Sen. Mark Scheffel, R-Parker, said “this is the largest budget that the state’s ever had,” and that he would not support it. However, Scheffel did vote for last year’s budget, which also was rather sizable. Steadman said he does not understand Republican opposition, considering that last year’s budget — which was based on a gloomier economic forecast — was “wildly, bipartisanly popular, and for some reason, this year, it’s not.” The bill still has to be voted on in the House, before heading to Gov. John Hickenlooper’s desk for his signature.

But, unlike last year, Republicans are in unanimous opposition to the budget, so far. Sen. Kent Lambert of Colorado Springs, who also is a member of the Joint Budget Committee, did not vote for this year’s bill.

U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner welcomed a full house when he opened his new office in Douglas County, greeting people who hoped to meet their representative. The congressman hosted an open house March 27 at his new office in Castle Pines, selected to serve constituents still relatively new to the 4th District.

Student visitors included some from Douglas and Elbert counties, and a group from Otero County. The Otero County students, brought by Yesenia Beascochea of the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, traveled nearly three hours to talk to Gardner about immigration legislation. Local students included 16-year-old twins Jack and Mitch Erdle, 16, from Lone Tree. The Erdles visited as part of their sophomore advanced placement government curriculum. “It’s great that we get to talk to him and interact with him,” Jack Erdle said. “It’s good because my par-

ents want to vote for him.” Gardner fielded questions from residents concerned about immigration, Obamacare, the economy and Second Amendment issues. He introduced federal legislation this year aimed at making college affordable by increasing tax-free contributions to college savings accounts to $10,000, George said. His other legislation is aimed to help small businesses, with a tax-free savings account for money used to start or grow a small business, she said.

TriZetto opens headquarters in county Fast-growing health-care, IT company brings jobs By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com The economic foundation of Douglas County got a little thicker as TriZetto opened the doors to its new world headquarters April 2, bringing 800 employees with them to the Meridian International Business Center. The 16-year-old health-care IT firm has already added 150 local jobs since it broke ground on the four-story, 168,000-squarefoot building just under a year ago. “We’re growing fast and should be close to 1,100 strong by the end of the year,” said CEO Trace Devanny. “The fact that we’ve outgrown the facility already is a good problem to have.” The company, which had just 380 employees working in Colorado when Devanny started in 2010, expects to lease more space in the office park to house an additional 200 employees by year’s end. Devanny said it could create as many as 400 additional local jobs over the next four years, possibly prompting the company to break ground on another building across the street from its new offices on Maroon Circle. TriZetto was formerly headquartered in Newport Beach, Calif., and as it started to move some of its operations to Colorado in 2007, it opened numerous offices in Greenwood Village, all of which are consolidating under the new roof in Meridian. The company reaches more than 21,000 physician practices and has 3,600 employees with offices across the globe. The new Douglas County base is expected to bring

Colorado competed against Missouri, New Jersey and Arizona for the company, and Devanny said Colorado’s pro-business atmosphere made all the difference. “This is not just a strong addition to Douglas County and to metropolitan Denver, but it really is to Colorado,” Gov. John Hickenlooper said at the ribbon-cutting event. “Each success leads to another. It’s companies like TriZetto that are building

foundations for other companies and other growth.” Hickenlooper added that 10,800 payroll jobs were added in Colorado in February alone, helping cut the state’s unemployment rate to close to 7 percent. “Douglas County, in less than a year, has 6,300 new jobs,” County Commissioner Jill Repella said after the ribbon-cutting. “We are creating a very, very fertile business environment in Douglas County, and we’ve got more coming.” Repella attributes some of Douglas’ success to the ability of “the unrecognized heroes” of the county’s building division staff

Sales, prices climb as Douglas County housing market continues to recover By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Interest rates are beginning to make the slow creep up, prices are climbing quickly and houses are selling at a much faster rate. “We’re starting to see signs that the market is shifting to a seller’s market,” said Sean Reilly, a Highlands Ranch-based real estate agent with Cherry Creek Properties. Through the first two months in 2012, Douglas County homes were selling at an average of $338,239, a price point that has jumped to $364,978 in early 2013, while

sales have climbed 33.6 percent and inventory has stayed relatively the same. “Inventory is the key right now,” Reilly said. “That’s what is driving the prices upward and creating the shift. There’s not a whole lot to look at out there. “When the market crashed in 2008, inventory started coming off the market and more and more people made the choice to rent. About a year, year and a half ago those renters started to get off the fence and that’s been driving those prices.” The number of new listings has only climbed 2.2 percent in the first two months

of 2013, compared to a year ago in Douglas County, and if the inventory doesn’t come back a little harder as summer arrives, the 17-year real-estate vet says it is going to be harder and harder for those looking to find a home as more buyers flood the market.

THE ROTARY CLUB OF PARKER extends a special thanks to all who participated and supported our annual STATE OF THE TOWN event

Reilly has already seen the change with his own listings, watching a recent one in Highlands Ranch accumulate 27 showings in five days before coming off the market, and a downtown listing amass over 50 showings in a day’s time. “You’ve got a glut of buyers on the market that are bidding over half the inventory that was out there before,” he said. “In years past, the number of available homes just coming on was easily been between 2,500 and 3,000 in Douglas County.” For the first two months of this year, that number is at 1,280.

Schools boost transparency grade A-minus reflects increase in content on district website By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Prompted by a “D” rating of its website from the Sunshine Review, the Douglas County School District enhanced its site and upped its grade to an A-minus. “We value transparency and we have made it a priority for our board,” DCSD Board of Education President John Carson said in a press release. “We’re very proud of student achievement, staff accomplishments, financial stability, and strong management and we want our community to know it.” Sunshine Review is a website transpar-

ency report card that ranks cities, counties and school districts nationwide. DCSD’s previous rating was the lowest among the state’s 10 largest school districts; its new grade bumps it to a three-way tie for top honors with the Denver and Jefferson County school districts. Board members said during a March 14 meeting that they were surprised and concerned by the rating and believed they could take steps to improve it. DCSD was criticized for not providing contact information for its board members, and it since has added email addresses for each elected official. Sunshine Review also dinged it for not posting contracts and bids over $10,000; those also have been added to the website. DCSD added financial and budget information, including links to videos offering further details. “We are proud of our A- rating and will

The girlfriend contacted the FAA Saturday evening when he did not land on time. The FAA issued a report and contacted the sheriff’s office to send search and rescue team members into the area to look for possible wreckage. Searchers were unsuccessful in locating the aircraft — which had been registered to Bedford since January — and it went undiscovered until the ranch hand came across it on March 31. The pilot’s certificates were up-to-date, according to Alex Lemishko, senior air investigator for the NTSB. Winkler Cattle Company, located at 2634 S.

Sunshine Review is a wiki-page, which allows anyone with an Internet connection to edit or contribute information. While most of the information added to DCSD’s transparency evaluation came from McMurray and reporter Alex Keown, some was posted anonymously from an IP address that traces to Third and Cantril streets in Castle Rock.

A private plane en route to Centennial Airport crashed at a cattle ranch near Castlewood Canyon State Park, killing the male pilot who was the lone occupant of the craft. The Douglas County coroner’s office identified the pilot as 27-year-old Jason Craig Bedford, a resident of the Meridian area of Douglas County. The plane, a 1973 fixed-wing, singleengine Cherokee Piper, last showed up on airport radar around 8:40 p.m. March 30, about the same time the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a resident in the area reporting what sounded like an airplane making stalling noises. “Centennial did not get any emergency call or any maydays,” said Deborah Sherman, spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office. “A ranch hand at Winkler Cattle Company checking on a sick calf (Sunday) morning saw the wreckage, and contacted us.” The sheriff’s office responded to the call at 10:10 a.m. March 31, along with Franktown Fire and the National Transportation Safety Board. Sherman said the NTSB was investigating whether the accident was caused by mechanical failure, human error or environmental causes. The agency will also research radar data, and the pilot’s sleep patterns and background. A preliminary report is expected to be released within seven to 10 days of the accident. The plane had departed Sandia Airpark in Edgewood, N.M., and Bedford was en

Strong Schools Coalition, a grassroots group led by former DCSD spokeswoman and parent Susan Meek and parent Laura Mutton, praised the district for making some changes. The group has been critical of the district’s transparency. “However, we still cannot find a detailed 2012-13 financial plan and budget, the infrastructure cost of their pay-for-performance system is still unknown, and the board’s practice of spending close to half of public meeting times in private executive session is not reflected by this rating,” Mutton said. Sunshine Review managing editor Kristin McMurray noted that the lengthy executive sessions, while mentioned as a “bad” in the review, aren’t among the factors considered in evaluating website transparency.

Scams targeting seniors on rise Sheriff ’s office warns of three popular schemes By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com With springtime comes warmer weather, longer days, and an increase in the number of scams. The sweetheart swindle, the utility impostor and the home or driveway repair scam target vulnerable seniors. “We’ve seen all of these over the past couple years, and we want to get the message out early this year as a preventative measure,” said Deputy Chad Teller, spokesman for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. “They are already starting to pop up in El Paso County, and it is just a matter of time before they start happening here.” Of the three senior scams that the sheriff’s office wants to get on people’s radar, the most common is the utility impostor scam, in which one or two men will knock on a door and say they are from the city or the water, electric, or cable company. The men will attempt to convince the resident that they need to go into the base-

ment or backyard and that they need to test the water pressure or electricity. They will most likely say that company regulations don’t allow them to go into the basement unaccompanied, and once down there will have the resident turn switches off and on, run water or bang pipes, while their accomplice searches the house for valuables. Teller points out that legitimate utility company employees will always wear a uniform and have official identification, and impostors may try to look official. “Many impostors will have a homemade, laminated badge that you could confuse for proper ID at a quick glance,” Teller said. “They may also wear work clothes, orange traffic vests or hard hats. All of this is designed to make you think they are official. “Don’t let them in your house and don’t let them lure you out of yours. If in doubt, ask them to wait outside your locked front door while you call the utility company or the police to verify who they are. A legitimate utility company employee will welcome your checking them out, while an impostor won’t hang around.”

Home repair scam

pening with great frequency is the driveway sealing or home repair scam, in which one or two men in a truck stop and offer to seal one’s driveway, fix the roof or do other repairs at an unusually low price because they have been working in the area and have leftover materials available to do the job. A red flag with this scam is that the con artists will typically say the job will be cheaper if you pay cash. Teller said it’s often done poorly and costs more than they say at the outset, and that the scammers will watch where you go to get your cash and often make a return visit, sometimes in the form of a utility scam, to get more money. Another thing to watch for is children tagging along with the worker. They may be trained to ask for a drink or to use the bathroom and then rummage through the house looking for valuables or cash. “The bottom line is if something looks suspicious and seems too good to be true, it most likely is,” Teller said.

The sweetheart swindle

Nothing may be too good to be true more than the sweetheart swindle, in which the

victim, typically an older single male, is approached somewhere in public — such as a supermarket parking lot — by a younger, attractive female. The scammer will attempt to flatter the victim, win him over, arrange a second meeting, and lay the foundation for a relationship. Once the relationship begins, the scammer will ask the victim for money to start a business or pay medical bills, and in some cases move in and take over financial affairs. “The attention from this younger woman is great while it is happening,” Teller said, “but as soon as your credit cards are charged to the max and your money is completely gone, so are they. You will be left lonely and broke.” Teller said it is wise to be aware of ulterior motives when someone tries to strike up a relationship out of nowhere and to ask a trusted friend or adviser their honest opinion of what is happening if you are getting an undue amount of attention. According to the National Association of Adult Protective Services Administrators, financial exploitation of the elderly is the fastest-rising category of crime in the U.S.

County suicide rate spikes Coroner working in conjunction with prevention group By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Suicide rates in Douglas County so far in 2013 are far higher than last year, a trend that pierces Coroner Lora FREE Estimages & Thomas’ professional shield. Inspections Thomas recently spoke about the trend to members of the Douglas County Suicide Prevention Alliance. “All of a sudden, my voice started shaking and I started getting tears in my eyes,” said Thomas. “I think I handle this job pretty well. But we lost 12 people in February (to suicide). We usually lose three or four.” Most recently, 20-year-old Jordan Emslie of Highlands Ranch jumped to his death from an interstate overpass in Lone Tree. His March 25 suicide brings Douglas County’s 2o13 total to 20. “For all of 2012, we investigated 44,” Thomas said. “It’s very alarming.” Emslie is youngest to die so far this year. The people most likely to commit suicide, in both Douglas County and the nation, are middle-aged white

men. Conflicted relationships, alcohol and drug abuse and mental illness are often common denominators among them. Thomas not only sees the immediate aftermath of suicide, but its impact on those left behind. “In their lives, they just want the pain to end,” she said. “They leave a whole other group of pain in their wake. It’s kind of like a ripple effect when you drop a little stone in the water.” Thomas has adopted suicide prevention as her cause. Her office is part of the Douglas County Suicide Prevention Alliance, which unites members of the mental health community, law enforcement, schools and churches in a shared mission. The key to prevention, alliance president Matt Calone said, is communication. “Talking about suicide doesn’t necessarily increase the risk of suicide,” he said. “It actually relieves some of the anxiety. People think that generally when someone’s suicidal there’s nothing you can do to change their mind, but it’s widely said that suicide is the most preventable cause of death.” That doesn’t mean a friend, family member or co-worker should take on the role of therapist. Calone, also

director of business development at Highlands Behavioral Health System, recommends listening and then directing the person to trained experts — a therapist, doctor or hospital emergency room. That process worked to save the life of a Douglas County high school student, Calone said. The teen confided his suicidal thoughts to his peers, who helped lead him to a school counselor. The boy was hospitalized and treated. After treatment, he become moreWate involved in school and gained confidence, eventually landing a leading role in a student production. “The more we write about it and talk about it, the better,” said Barb Becker, division director for Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network. “Have conversations with your children, at work. Let people know there is hope out there. We have to be not afraid to talk about this subject. There’s shame and guilt that still surrounds it and we need to get rid of that.” More information is available at www.dcsuicideprevention.org. For men, the Colorado-created website www.mantherapy.org offers advice and suggestions with a masculine twist. Help is also available through the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

‘Dog Protection Act’ would guide police Deaths of pets get legislative attention By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com It’s been more than two months since Ziggy’s life was taken from Jeff Fisher, but the pain of losing his fourlegged best friend has yet to subside for the Westminster man. “I miss him every day,” Fisher said in a recent interview. “I miss him being there in the morning and coming home to him. He was awesome. He was like a son.” Ziggy, an 8-year-old border collie mix, was shot to death by an Adams County sheriff’s deputy on Jan. 14, in an incident that resulted in two very different versions of events. But Ziggy’s death — as well as several other cases of officer-involved dog shootings around the state — could end up leading to a new law aimed at saving dogs’ lives when police are called out to residences. State Senate Bill 226, which has been dubbed the “Dog Protection Act,” would require local law enforcement agencies to put in place training, and to adopt policies and procedures officers would be required to adhere to

whenever they encounter dogs. Republican Sen. David Balmer of Centennial, a sponsor of the bill, said in a recent interview that the idea would be for police to properly announce their presence whenever they are responding to house calls, in order

to give owners some time to put their dogs outside, or into another room. “We in this bill are creating a duty for law enforcement officers in nonviolent situations to give the owner of a dog an opportunity to save their dog,” Balmer said. The bill states that there have been more than 30 officer-involved dog shootings around the state in the last five years alone. Balmer also said that in cases where dogs are shot by police, the officer had been responding to a non-violent situation. Under the bill, a volunteer task force would be organized to develop training guidelines for law enforcement agencies. Balmer did acknowledge that there is a “giant exception” area of the bill that lays out several instances where police would not be required to adhere to the training. They include cases where police are responding to suspected drug houses, or if the house is included in a “dangerous dog” registry. Jennifer Reba Edwards of the Wheat Ridge-based Animal Law Center said those exceptions are reasonable, but that the ultimate goal of the legislation is to create an environment where police are better trained to deal with animals who are near and dear to the lives of many people in any community.

But the ordeal put things into perspective. “As a parent, when you see a friend of yours go through the emotional struggles of something like that, it really hits home on how important it is to support cancer research, especially pediatric cancer research,” Waid said. The Nation sisters, ages 39 through 56, have a story and plenty of photos to share and help get the word out. Standing with those who have lost their hair during cancer treatments is a simple gesture, but it’s

If the overhaul is implemented, it would nt at result in the most sweeping change to the tem, school finance formula that the state has n diseen in decades. perts “This is a once-in-a-generation chance pital to rewrite the way we fund the single largest, most complex and most important part e life of the state government, which is how we stufund K-12 education,” said Sen. Mike Johnfided who selor. reatmoreWater continues from Page 1 onfiding depending on the region and conservation efforts, is generally enough to serve a family d talkof four for a year. cker, The Parker Water and Sanitation District oug-board asked Redd to examine the possibilHaveity of buying 500, 1,000 or 1,500 acre-feet n, atthrough the WISE project. He was expecthopeing to receive the results of a cost analysis id toon April 5 to determine the possible finanhamecial impacts. Any rate hikes on customers d wewould likely be implemented incrementally and equate to about 2.5 percent to 3 perle atcent per year, Redd said. The cost of WISE water increases annually over an eight-year eatedperiod. offers It would be relatively easy, Redd said, ascu-to move the reclaimed WISE water from Aurora to Parker if the district can come to h thean agreement to use a pipeline along E-470 ne atowned by East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District. If the board gives approves, the intergovernmental agreement would be signed by late May. “Hopefully the board goes in that direction,” Redd said. While serving as Castle Rock’s utilities director last year, Redd sent out a request for proposal to determine the availability of water for sale in Colorado and said there was “surprisingly little out there.” Parker Water has a “fairly robust short-term plan,” with return flows and junior water rights on Cherry Creek. However, the district, which is expected to grow to 150,000 people at full build-out, will need to acquire and transport another

ston, D-Denver, a bill sponsor, during an April 1 debate that preceded the final vote. Democrats believe the time has come to help school districts that have had to deal with years of budget cuts, ones that have left students and teachers trying to fend with limited resources. Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, said the five school districts in her legislative district “absolutely will benefit from this new formula.” “There are schools that are desperately in need,” she said. “I don’t want to see edu-

Water: District to grow to 150,000 people 5,000 to 6,000 acre-feet of water sometime between 2030 and 2035 for its long-term needs. The district is in the process of developing a detailed financial plan. The Pinery Water and Wastewater District is buying 500 acre-feet of water to help offset declining production from the Denver Basin Aquifer. “It’s been a long-term goal of the district to replace our reliance on Denver Basin groundwater with renewable water supplies,” said Charlie Krough, the Pinery water district’s manager. In 2011, the district’s board of directors adopted a resolution initiating a $12.50 per household monthly fee that was designated specifically for water development projects. Krough says that money will pay for the infrastructure needed to get the water to the Pinery. The 4,100-customer district has also had preliminary discussions about the possibility of buying storage space in RueterHess Reservoir. Krough, who also is a board member with the South Metro Water Supply Authority, said he did not know the cost of the water to Pinery customers and added that a rate analysis is being planned. The district will have time to ease into the costs, he said. Rueter-Hess Reservoir, which contains 5,700 acre-feet of water and was built to store 70,000 acre-feet, will be paid off by the time the Parker Water and Sanitation District takes on more debt to build pipelines to transport the water that will be needed for the future. “It spreads the costs out over multiple generations of ratepayers,” Redd said.

state statute, said county spokeswoman Wendy Holmes. The prevailing concern was that its effect could change the future of the library district. “The library board of trustees doesn’t need fixing,” said Carla Turner of Larkspur. “There is no evidence that a change in protocol or procedure is going to add any value to the process or improve the number one library in the nation.” Commissioner Jack Hilbert, who in past weeks expressed discontent with the controversial viewpoints expressed by library

director Jamie LaRue, made no comments at the March 26 public hearing. LaRue’s wife, Suzanne LaRue, pointed out the positive gains made at the district, despite adverse economic conditions. “We have gotten through the recession in a manner that is the envy of every library in the country,” LaRue said. “Even libraries in Arapahoe County and Denver are laying off people. We have services that serve the needs of everyone. I think (commissioners) should investigate the library’s board and how they do things in the selection process and see there is nothing shady going on there.”

cation so poorly funded in Colorado, and this is one way to get there that is equal, but fair.” But Republicans slammed the bill as being loaded with bureaucracy and lacking accountability. “This falls short of a true reform effort,” said Sen. Mark Scheffel, R-Parker. And Republicans especially are opposed to the cost of the bill, arguing that legislation hits taxpayers’ wallets in a big way. “If this is being being portrayed as an education reform bill, it is April Fool’s Day,”

said Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch. “This is a $1 billion tax increase on the people of Colorado.” If the bill passes the General Assembly, it will be up to voters to decide whether they wish to foot the $1 billion price tag that will come in the form of an income tax hike. Only Colorado voters, and not lawmakers, are allowed to raise taxes, under the state’s Constitution. All 20 Senate Democrats voted for the bill, while all 15 Republicans voted no. The bill now heads to the House.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Some friends are always there for you Three of my best friends are appliances. The washing machine, the dryer, and the dishwasher. I have thought about this. They’re dependable, focused, and they’re always on time. They leave me alone when I want to be left alone, and when I need them, they are Johnny-on-the-spot, especially the washing machine. I do a good job of spotting my shirts with salad dressing, and the washing machine is always on standby. I can call on them any time of day or night I look forward to doing my laundry, and I look forward to doing my dishes. But it wasn’t always this way. When I went away to college and got my first apartment, I didn’t have any appliances, other than a hot plate, and a refrigerator that sounded like Charles Laughton. I hand-washed the dishes. And I had to take all of my laundry to something called a laundromat, also called “washaterias.” The laundromats were uniformly heinous. If you’ve ever had to use one, you know what I mean. I could spend half of my column allowance on laundromats, but please

do me a favor, and just reminisce about them, so I can get back to my three friends. Hand-washing the dishes wasn’t much fun, so the pots and pans and plates waited on the tarmac, sometimes for days. I will admit to weeks. I would just rinse what I needed. Not any more. I run the dishwasher about every other day. And the washer and dryer too. I like to do laundry. Thundercats, I’ll do yours. I am going to try my best to explain this. I am not always dependable, focused, and on time. I miss the off ramp. The signs say “push” and I pull. Like Dave Mathews said, I “fall aside, stumbling down drunken roads, I find

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Should James Holmes face the death penalty? On March 27, accused Aurora theater shooter James Holmes offered to plead guilty to avoid the death penalty. The next

day, we asked people at Aspen Grove shopping center in Littleton how they felt about that.

“It’s not like jail is such a luxurious place … Killing him would just be ending that suffering.” — Melissa Jimenez, Littleton

“He killed a lot of people. He doesn’t deserve to live, even in jail.” — Faye Hershey, Littleton

“I don’t have any remorse about him being put to death, but I think the way the death penalty works is inefficient and a waste of money.” — Paul Raemer, Centennial

“I think the prosecutors ought to take his offer and get the whole thing over with rapidly and relatively inexpensively.” — Richard Hershey, Littleton

Uncomplicating the complicated Lately I have found myself in conversations with people about how complicated their lives have become, or how complex situations at work or at home have created a feeling of being uptight or stressed out. So how do we simplify the complicated? Well, the first thing we need to do is understand that nothing is ever as difficult or as bad as it seems, and that panic truly is our worst enemy. And we also need to remind ourselves that all will be well. Situations become more convoluted and problematic when we allow the imagery of the worst-case scenario to worry us and erode our hope or positive outlook. The longer we dwell on the possibility that things will go bad, the more the situation will appear even more complicated. The second thing we can do is determine what we believe would be the best possible outcome. When we can begin with the end in mind, we start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. So in the first step we eliminate the negative or pessimistic thoughts and in step two we acknowledge and see the potential best-case scenario. We replace the negative input with positive output. The third and final tip I can share with you is to do some healthy and creative destruction of the situation. Peel the layers back and pick the problem apart piece by piece. When things become complicated it means that there are many events, moving parts, circumstances, people, or situations coming together to create confusion and maybe even chaos. When we try and attack the entire problem it can seem overwhelming or too much to overcome, so we ignore it hoping that it will go away or fix itself. And our avoidance behavior only compounds an already complicated situation.

myself more and more mistaking myself for someone else.” Washing machines don’t stumble. That’s why I like mine. I can program it, and it sticks to the program. I don’t stick to the program, so I admire anyone or anything that can. Keep this under your hat. I’ll do a load of laundry just before bedtime just so that I can hear the washing machine going through its cycles, directly below me. One day the builder’s grade dishwasher that came with the house decided to explode. A repairman arrived and on his way up the driveway asked what kind it was. When I told him, he turned, said, “Get a new one, buddy,” and left. I have wood flooring and the explosion damaged the wood. I had to vacate for three days while it was sanded and refinished. I went to Mesa Verde and listened to the guide. There was no mention of appliances. The Anasazi did not have Maytag. Maybe I wouldn’t like to do laundry as much as I do if I had a family, and had to get the stains out of Craig Jr.’s Old

Navy jeans. Here’s another thing: I fold. I am one hell of a folder. I can fold a hand towel like a trained hand towel folder. That goes for bath towels and sheet towels. Whatever it is about fulfilling certain tasks that have a beginning, middle, and end, it feels good. I have made some kind of progress on a day when maybe otherwise I have drifted, or overworked a painting, or faltered with a column. My first college apartment was managed by Sam Sing and Jon Wong, who operated a little laundry on Sawtelle Boulevard in West Los Angeles. I had them do my shirts, light starch. They came back to me, folded impeccably, with a cardboard insert, and a paper ribbon around them. Laundry can be very beautiful. Maybe I like to do laundry simply because I succeed with it.

Afghanistan — ‘the wrong war’ In 2007, when then-Sen. Barack Obama began his campaign for the Democratic nomination for president, his signature issue was his opposition to the war in Iraq. This well positioned him against his chief rival, Sen. Hillary Clinton, who in 2002 had voted in favor of going to war. Obama wasn’t elected to the U.S. Senate until 2004, so he had the good political fortune of not having cast a vote for or against the Iraq War. During the 2008 presidential primary, Obama campaigned heavily against the unpopular war in Iraq by criticizing the Bush administration’s decision to invade the country based on their allegations that Saddam Hussein posed an imminent threat to U.S. national security interest. The Bush administration’s rationale for the invasion was that Saddam Hussein presented an imminent threat because he was developing weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in clear violation of the 1991 cease-fire agreement that ended the first Gulf War. Following an exhaustive search by coalition forces in post-invasion Iraq, the alleged Iraqi stockpiles of WMD never materialized.

While Obama criticized the U.S. intervention in Iraq as the “wrong war,” he praised our involvement in Afghanistan as being the “right war” for our country to prosecute. This was because our involvement was justified by the World Trade Center attack on 9/11, which planned and coordinated al-Qaeda in their safe harbor in Afghanistan given them by the Taliban. However, it is my contention that Afghanistan was never the “right war” for our country to be so deeply involved in. No doubt, the initial actions of the Bush administration in Afghanistan were brilliant. Shortly following the 9/11 attack, air, advisory and logistical support was given Coffman continues on Page 11

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dilemma about law enforcement

While I agree with the basic premise that local sheriffs should not be deciding what laws to enforce and what not to enforce (some Colorado sheriffs will not enforce new gun laws), I think that we can

So what works better is to dissect the complication into manageable components, compartmentalize the elements causing the difficulties, and develop a plan to address each one. When we take this approach, that light at the end of our tunnel becomes brighter, and with each element or compartment that we sort through and fix, the light gets even brighter, the end of the tunnel closer, and our confidence soars as we prepare to take on the remaining elements. There is nothing that is so overly complicated that it cannot become uncomplicated by approaching it with a positive, constructive and productive attitude and a solid plan. If we choose to look at the complications in our life as something that is in our control instead out of our control, we will significantly increase our chances of simplifying the chaos and associated burdens of the complication. Are you facing a complicated situation that may seem overwhelming? I encourage you to practice the tactical approach outlined here in this column and let me know if it helped at gotonorton@gmail.com. When we can uncomplicate the complicated, it will be a better than good week.

to the anti-Taliban forces, the Northern Alliance, who successfully fought the Taliban and were able to push them and al-Qaeda allies completely out of their country. The United States had an extraordinary opportunity at that moment to say to the victors on the ground that so long as they keep Afghanistan from becoming another breeding ground for terrorism, we would continue to provide support to them. We also would have been in a position to encourage them to expand their governing coalition to better reflect the ethnic and religious composition of the country and to improve the status of women in their society. Unfortunately, the Bush administration made a terrible and costly mistake. Instead of saying to the victors on the ground that we will support you so long as you keep al-Qaeda and the Taliban from returning to Afghanistan, we forced them aside and superimposed a political process over the country that gave them the government that we wanted them to have without regard to the political culture of the Afghan people.

The Bush administration had an opportunity to achieve our security goals in Afghanistan without the extraordinary cost to our military that has been paid in blood: over 2,000 dead and so many more wounded. This year alone, the cost to U.S. taxpayers for all Afghanistan-related costs will exceed $100 billion. The United States must return to a foreign policy that is less idealistic and more realistic. We must maintain strong conventional forces to deter those who otherwise would wish to attack us and support indigenous factions within a given region that share our security goals instead of invading, pacifying and administering whole countries under the impossible goal of trying to make them look like us. If I accomplish anything during my tenure as a member of the House Armed Services Committee, it will be in making sure that our nation never goes down the path of nation-building ever again.

Eco-friendly landscape is low-maintenance Gardening expert’s plan can pay off By Melinda Myers info@melindamyers.com

t’s possible to create a beautiful landscape and be kind to the environment even with a busy schedule and while staying within budget. All it takes is a bit of planning and a few low-maintenance strategies. Here are five strategies to create a low-maintenance ecofriendly landscape this season. • Be water-wise: Save money on the water bill, time spent watering and this precious resource, water. Start by growing drought-tolerant plants suited to your growing environment. Once established they will only need watering during extended dry spells. Mulch with shredded leaves, evergreen needles, wood chips, or other organic matter to conserve moisture, reduce weeds, and improve the soil as they decompose. Fertilize with a low nitrogen fertilizer, like Milorganite, that promotes slow steady growth instead of excessive greenery that requires more water. Plus, it won’t burn even during drought.

Courtesyphoto • Recycle yard waste in the landscape: Minimize the amount of yard waste produced, reuse what can be in other areas of the landscape and recycle the rest as compost. These are just a few strategies that will save time bagging, hauling, and disposing of yard debris. And better yet, implementing this strategy will save money and time spent buying and transporting soil amendments, since it will be created right in the backyard. Start by leaving grass clippings on the lawn. The short clippings break down quickly, adding organic matter, nutrients and moisture to the soil. Grow trees suited to the growing con-

ditions and available space. That means less pruning and fewer trimmings that will need to be managed. • Make compost at home: Recycle yard waste into compost. Put plant waste into a heap and let it rot. Yes, it really is that simple. The more effort put into the process, the quicker the results. Do not add insect-infested or diseased plant material or perennial weeds like quack grass, annual weeds gone to seed, or invasive plants. Most compost piles are not hot enough to kill these pests. And do not add meat, dairy, or bones that can attract rodents. • Manage pests in harmony

with nature: A healthy plant is the best defense against insects and disease. Select the most pestresistant plants suited to the growing conditions and provide proper care. Check plants regularly throughout the growing season. It is easier to control a few insects than the hundreds that can develop in a week or two. And when problems arise, look for the most eco-friendly control. Start by removing small infestations by hand. Consider traps, barriers, and natural products if further control is needed. And as always be sure to read and follow label directions carefully. • Use energy-wise landscape design: Use landscape plantings to keep homes warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Homes will have a more comfortable temperature throughout the seasons and energy costs will be reduced. Plant trees on the east and west side of a house to shade windows in the summer and let the sun shine in and warm it up through the south-facing windows in winter.

Get air conditioning e ready for warm weather

and helpBy StatePoint e bewill hen the weather heats up, your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system quickly becomes a most valuable player in your xpert,home life and stays that way for several lum-months. However, the U.S. Census Bureau thanestimates that more than 3 million HVAC iencesystems fail each year.

three months or at the beginning of every heating and cooling season. Ensure the filter is sized correctly, fitting snuggly. • Keep the outdoor unit clean: Keep coils free of debris by hosing off with light pressure. Any bushes or shrubs should be trimmed back away from the unit. • Let air flow: Maintain a reliable airflow to reduce moisture buildup that can lead to mold. Keep vents open. Similarly, keep internal doors open inside your home to maintain air flow. • Clean duct grills: Annually, clean the vents and grills at the opening of each duct in every room by lifting the grill out of the floor, wiping with a rag or vacuuming to remove dust and debris. • Keep condensate drain open: A stopped-up condensate line can lead to expensive water damage. Keep the drain line clean and the drain tube open and clear to prevent backup. Good maintenance will only get you so far. Eventually, your equipment will need to be replaced. Hire only a certified A/C technician you trust. This season, keep your cool. Take the time to maintain, repair and replace your A/C equipment when necessary.

Tips help cut water use By Colorado Nursery & Greenhouse Association info@coloradonga.org

ith spring snowstorms followed by 60-degree days, you know it’s time to start thinking about getting outside and into the garden. This winter has been a tricky one and by now we’ve all heard the word — drought — but that doesn’t mean it’s time to throw in the trowel. Whether you’re into turf, trees, shrubs, ﬂowers or edibles, following a few key principles can help yield a beautiful, bountiful landscape using less water. Even the most experienced gardeners often confuse xeriscapes with zeroscapes. Zeroscapes imply no landscape and that’s a very bad thing for everyone. Beautiful landscaping does more than just look pretty, it also increases property values, reduces energy consumption, produces oxygen and even absorbs carbon dioxide. So what is xeriscape? Xeriscape is actually a set of planting principles that can help you create attractive, sustainable, and water-efﬁcient landscapes using these

seven basic and sound horticultural practices. • Plan and design landscaping comprehensively. • Evaluate soil and improve if necessary. Amending soil increases water retention. • Create practical turf areas. The front lawns of eight houses have the cooling effect of about 70 tons of air conditioning. • Select plants with similar needs and group them accordingly in the landscape. • Water efﬁciently with a properly designed irrigation system. • Use organic mulches to reduce surface evaporation of water and minimize weeds. • Practice appropriate landscape maintenance. Remember, even in drought years, landscaping can add as much as 15 percent to the resale value of your home. So dust off your gloves, put these principles to work and see for yourself that a beautiful landscape and water-wise conservation can in fact live in harmony.

Castle Rock firefighters take fire season seriously, with wildfire training to fight a blaze from all directions. The town’s fire department hosted wildland training in March, to prepare local agencies for the possibility of fighting fires from ground and air. It is a possibility that is real in Douglas County. Castle Rock was among the agencies that in 2011 responded to the Burning Tree Fire, which claimed 1,600 acres in Franktown. The fire was contained with the help of Rampart Helicopter of Castle Rock. The company contracts with Douglas County to respond to area wildfires. Pilots with Rampart Helicopter participate in the air-to-ground training that could be pivotal to fighting a wildfire. “We’re one of the few if not the only municipal fire department in the state that trains with a helicopter,” said Lt. Patrick Richardson, wildland team coordinator with Castle Rock Fire and Rescue. “If we don’t practice, the last place we want to learn to do this is in an actual fire. Burning Tree is a perfect example.” Richardson led nearly 60 firefighters from the Castle Rock and South Metro fire departments in wildland training at the vacant Dawson Ridge subdivision. Rampart Helicopter joined on March 21 to work on helicopter drops and the air-to-ground communications crucial to fighting wildfires,

The training exercise in Castle Rock’s Dawson Ridge prepared firefighters for coordinating helicopter drops during firefighting efforts. Richardson said. Firefighters on the ground communicate with the helicopter pilot, directing the location of an air strike. During training, tires placed on the ground provide a target for the pilot, who circles before opening the 300-gallon bucket dangling from the bottom of the helicopter. The pass gives the pilot a chance to gauge the effect of wind and weather patterns that could alter the direction the water sprays. The wind speed limit for training is about 35 mph, Richardson said. A 3,000-gallon pool of water provides water for the first few passes; a nearby retention pond is the source for remaining passes. During a fire, a pilot will take water from any source, including swimming pools, ponds and lakes,

Richardson said. While firefighters provide the drop target, the final decision about the drop remains with the pilot. “The pilot has to be incredibly talented,” Richardson said. “It can’t be understated that in a wildfire event you need to see accountability, good communications and progress on the fire.” Participating firefighters placed a high value on the training. Firefighter Brian Page has been with South Metro Fire Rescue for 15 years. He lauded the benefits of interagency cooperation fine-tuned by the wildland fire training. “Any interagency training is good,” Page said. “To throw in air support is even better, to get the practice and get us ready for the season.”

How long have you worked in Real Estate? 2 years What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with? I specialize with first time homebuyers and investors. I love working with first time homebuyers because I know exactly what it’s like to be one in this market. I can relate to the nervousness, excitement, and challenges of buying a home for the first time. It’s nice to honestly say, “I know how you feel” to my clients, and help them purchase their first home. As far as investors are concerned, I’ve always been a “deal finder”. At times, my wife refers to this as “cheap”, but it has worked out well for this business! What is the most challenging part of what you do? I love what I do, so I typically work seven days a week. I think the most chal challenging part of this job is learn learn-

What do you most enjoy doing when you are not working? My wife and I love to get away to random places for a couple days once a month. I was also full-time recording artist for 6 years before I got into real estate. I still travel about once a month to play a show somewhere, and spend most of my free time recording or writing music. What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? Remember that you and your agent are on the same team. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? You want to be as informed as possible, so never hesitate to ask your agent a question. We work for YOU. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? I found a property listed for $29,000 and sent it to one of my investors. The MLS description said there was mild fire damage, and “enter at your own risk”. We met at the property, and when we walked to the front door, there was a very strange smell. When we opened the door, the entire living room was full of decaying birds and rabbits. It was the worst smell ever, and we both thought we were going to pass out. That said, we did make an offer.

Best price when selling a home

Curb appeal is one factor that can help a home sell faster and for more money.

he housing market has not yet rebounded to pre-recession prices, when buyers seemed to be stepping over one another to bid up the price of homes. Today’s sellers may be lucky to get asking price, with the reality being a certain percentage below. However, that doesn’t mean sellers should accept bottom-of-the-barrel of-

fers. There are still ways to get the best price possible on an offered home. With sellers hoping to get the most possible for a home and buyers interested in spending the least, it’s sometimes a battle of wills when it comes to hashing out a confirmed price in the world of real estate. Sellers who wonder whether they’ll struggle to get a

good offer can hedge their bets in the right direction by employing a few strategies. * What you see is what you get: It’s difficult to change first impressions. If a potential buyer pulls up to a home that doesn’t give them “warm and fuzzy” feelings immediately, it may be hard to eventually sway opinion of the home -- even if it’s pristine on the inside. Individu-

als do judge a book by its cover, which means that effort should be put into making a home’s exterior as appealing as possible. Landscaping should be neat and lush. There shouldn’t be any obstacles leading to the front of the home. Items that look in disrepair should be mended. Curb appeal does matter. * Use a real estate agent: Many people forgo this step, thinking they can sell their home just as well without an agent and not have to pay commission in the process. A real estate agent is schooled in the process of negotiating the price of an offered home. In fact, the more a home’s selling price, the higher the agent’s profit. That’s incentive right there. Furthermore, agents know the average prices of similar homes and can help a seller price and market a property correctly. That may add up to a faster sale (and a better offer). * Price it competitively: Some sellers think the higher they price their home the more money they’ll get for it. The fact is, the longer an overpriced home sits on the market, the less appealing it will appear to buyers. Individuals looking for a home may repeatedly see the listing and wonder what’s wrong with the home. Even if it’s the best home in the neighborhood, it may be seen

as a red flag that’s best avoided. * Give people what they want: Buyers often prefer updated kitchens and bathrooms. Most buyers out there are not looking for “handyman specials.” They want a relatively turn-key property. A kitchen or bathroom that is an eyesore can repel potential buyers. Home shoppers may be more inclined to go closer to asking price if some of the bigger-ticket items are already completed. * Don’t be an open book: If a buyer knows that time is of the essence or the home is “priced to sell,” he or she may sense that desperation, almost guaranteeing a low-ball offer. Sellers shouldn’t let on too much about their reasons for selling or make it seem like they’ll be in dire straights if the home doesn’t sell quickly. Selling a home under duress is not likely to cause prospective buyers to pony up. * Don’t be afraid to counter-offer: A buyer who is excited to get an offer on a home in a slow market, but feels the offer is below value, should definitely counter-offer. While the buyer may not accept the counter, he or she may make another offer that is more to the seller’s liking. ■ Metro Creative Services

Giant rabbit, kids scramble for eggs Indoor hunt mixes Easter fun with fitness activities By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews. com A record number of kids armed with baskets, shopping bags and even backpacks squared off with the Easter Bunny for a morning egg hunt full of fun and fitness. Thousands of brightly colored plastic eggs, some filled with prizes, were up for grabs March 30 at the Family Sports Dome in Centennial, courtesy of the giant rabbit himself. “It was a record event, “said Jamie DeBartolomeis, spokeswoman for the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, event sponsor. “We had more than 450 kids and probably close to 1,000 parents and grandparents in attendance.” A $1,000 sponsorship from the City of Centennial helped defray the cost of the eggs, candy and prizes. “This is such a fun event, and I am so glad it’s here at the indoor sports dome,” said Natalie Meyers of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., who came

Thousands of plastic eggs, some filled with small prizes, were up for grabs when South Suburban Parks and Recreation hosted its Easter-egg hunt at at the Family Sports Dome in Centennial. The March 30 event attracted hundreds of local kids and even more parents and grandparents. Photos by Deborah Grigsby with her 3-year-old grandson. “We are here visiting for Easter and I

was not so enthused about hunting eggs in the cold, but this is nice.” Keeping to its word of pairing physical activity with fun, South Suburban rolled out the fitness fun van onto the field, complete with hula hoops, inflatables, music and interactive video games. Egg hunts were divided into age groups to afford younger kids the opportunity to enjoy the experience. Children then returned the

plastic eggs to be traded for candy and small toys. Four large gift baskets were awarded to those who located a special golden egg. The March 30 indoor egg scramble was one of three egg hunts hosted by South Suburban across the entire district. DeBartolomeis said the event, now in its third year at the Family Sports Dome, is becoming a local tradition on the east side of the district.

At just 21 months old, Centennial resident Elaina Yilmaz is not sure what to make of the Easter Bunny, which surprised her at Centennial’s Family Sports Dome. The giant rabbit was on hand at the South Suburban Parks and Recreation Easter-egg hunt. The event attracted hundreds of local kids for a morning of fun and fitness activities.

‘This is such a fun event, and I am so glad it’s here at the indoor sports dome.’ Natalie Meyers “This is really just a great little event that’s free and fun for not just the kids, but the whole family,” she said. “And combining the egg hunt with other fun activities keeps everyone engaged.”

Lone Tree’s RidgeGate development is among 10 finalists vying for the title of 2013’s most livable metroarea community. The “Live, Work, Play” People’s Choice Award is a biannual honor given by the Denver Area Regional Council of Governments. From now to noon April 24, people may vote online for their favorite among the selected communities. DRCOG will announce the winner during an April 24 evening celebration in Denver. RidgeGate development manager Darryl Jones hopes area residents will get online and vote for the growing community he’s helped bring to life. “I’m biased of course, but clearly it’s a great community,” he said. “Just

look at all the development going on there. It’s a place where people want to be. It’s really coming into shape, fulfilling the vision we set a number of years ago. And it’s just beginning.” The award is designed to honor communities that meet the goals of DRCOG’s Metro Vision, which urges protection of rural areas, parks and open space, development of quality urban areas and environmental protection efforts such as mass transit. “We are convinced as RidgeGate continues to build out, it is probably the best example in one project of the kinds of things DRCOG’s Metro Vision plan tried to advocate for,” Lone Tree’s Community Development Director Steve Hebert said. “One of the founding principles of RidgeGate is that it’s mixed use, and a walkable community. You don’t have to get in your car to

drive to this or that event.” RidgeGate, annexed into Lone Tree in 2000, is a six-square-mile development that straddles Interstate 25. To date, only the west side has been developed. The Charles Schwab Corp. recently started construction of a corporate campus in RidgeGate, which already holds the Lone Tree Arts Center, Lone Tree Recreation Center, Super Target and Sky Ridge Medical Center, and an array of housing projects. Other communities nominated for the award include the Town of Bennett, Olde Town Arvada, Centennial Center Park and Lakewood’s 40 West Arts District. The Vallagio at Inverness won DRCOG’s inaugural “Live, Work, Play” award in 2011. To vote, visit www3.drcog.org/liveworkplay.

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com efore any bride walks down the aisle there is a lot of work that needs to be done. First she needs to find an aisle to walk down, an officiant to perform the ceremony, a florist, a photographer, a reception hall, someone to take care of the music. And of course, no one will come if she doesn’t pick out some invitations and put them in the mail or have a place to hold the reception. Lucky for those brides to be, there’s a one-stop shop where every one of those things can be lined up — the Highlands Ranch Bridal Show. The first-year show, scheduled for noon4 p.m. April 7 at the Hilton Garden Inn, 1050 Plaza Drive in Highlands Ranch, will feature 32 local wedding vendors from bak-

There will even be a chocolate fountain and a masseuse on site to help relieve the stress behind the decision-making. What sets the show apart, though, according to Hilton Garden manager Karly Stein, are the workshops that will be put on by Denver-based business Beyond the Bedroom throughout the day.

“I’m pretty excited about Beyond the Bedroom,” Stein said. “It’s unique to a bridal show. They will be conducting relationship workshops, and will even have one called `How not to dance for your wedding,’ which we thought was important because a lot of brides and grooms don’t see the importance of that.” Beyond the message of keeping the more intimate movements between husband and wife for the honeymoon and off the dance floor, there will also be half-hour workshops on “Hair tips and tricks for your wedding photography,” “Looking picture perfect on your wedding day,” “The little details in planning your wedding,” “Love languages for you and your partner,” “Honeymoon travel planning 101,” and “Vegas Stiletto Fitness.” Event admission is $5 and the first 100 brides who RSVP will get a swag bag that includes goodies from vendors such as travel vouchers for honeymoons and more.

‘New York Nights’ at PACE Center Wind ensemble joins with students for concert By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Parker will get a taste of the Big Apple with the upcoming “New York Nights” concert by the Colorado Wind Ensemble. The ensemble, a 45-member metro-area orchestra of woodwinds, brass and percussion, is one of The Parker Arts, Culture

If you go “New York Nights” is at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., Parker, at 7:30 p.m. on April 5. Tickets: $21.50 to $13.50, 303-805-6800, pacecenteronline. ticketforce.com.

and Events Center’s performing partners and plays there several times a year. The ensemble’s main home is Littleton United Methodist Church, but it also travels west to the Lakewood Cultural Center a couple of times a year, building its audience. The CWE will perform “New York Nights” at PACE Center at 7:30 p.m. April 5. Students from Douglas County schools who study with orchestra members will join the ensemble for this concert. Most of the member musicians have music degrees and many teach. Matthew Roeder is director. Innovative contemporary composers like to write for wind ensembles, according to orchestra publicist Ellen Christianson, so the audience may hear music they haven’t heard previously .

If you’ve ever wanted to travel on a weight-loss journey in front of millions of folks on TV, your chance is coming up. Eyeworks USA, the producers of the hit series “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition,” is beginning a nationwide tour to 13 cities — including Denver — in search of participants for season four of the weekly show. Candidates are invited to either attend an open call in one of the cities or send in a home tape. “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition” features transformational specialist Chris Powell, author of the New York Times bestseller “Choose to Lose.” Powell documents the amazing makeover of 15 courageous “super obese” people who have 365 days to safely lose up to half their body weight. Powell provides a fresh perspective to individuals whose lives have become unmanageable because of their weight. He guides each of the participants through a transformation process by moving into each person’s home. The Denver open casting call takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 13 at Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar and Grill, 8260 Northfield Blvd., #1370, Denver. Information on how to apply can be found on the official casting website at www.extrememakeovercasting.com. Casting call attendees should bring a non-returnable photo.

Wild about Harry

Britain’s Prince Harry will make an official visit to the United States — including Colorado Springs — in May, according to a story broadcast last week on CBS. The prince is scheduled to be in the U.S. from May 9 through May 15 on behalf of several charities and the British government, the report said. “The 28-year-old royal is also scheduled to attend the Warrior Games for wounded veterans in Colorado Springs and visit New York City for an event promoting community-based youth athletics,” CBS reported. The prince also plans to visit New York City and New Jersey towns that were severely damaged by Hurricane Sandy. Harry’s last visit to the U.S. in May 2012 didn’t end up as a positive PR campaign after naked photos surfaced showing him with a female companion that were reportedly taken inside a VIP suite in a Las Vegas hotel.

Southern comfort

Colorado Wind Ensemble’s Darren DeLaub will perform a tuba tango. Courtesy photo The program opens with familiar music, though: Symphonic dances from Leonard Bernstein’s “West Side Story,” arranged by Lavender. “Red Cape Tango” from Michael Daugherty’s “Metropolis Symphony” follows, then Jeff Tyzik’s “New York Cityscape” will feature a tango tuba solo. Robert Beaser’s “Manhat-

tan Roll” and Clifton Williams’ “Symphonic Dance No. 3” fill out the evening’s program. This versatile orchestra is playing its 31st season in the south metro area, presenting music that especially features each instrument. Guest conductors for the CWE will be Nick Bidinger and Jayne Copland.

Southern Hospitality, the muchballyhooed eatery that opened with barely a whisper recently, is a delightful and casual entrant into the downtown Denver restaurant scene. A gal pal and I checked it out last week, and I can’t wait to bring back Mr. On the Town, a Southern-fried food freak. The restaurant, at 1433 17th St., arrived among a plethora of press because of its New York roots with original investor, entertainment superstar Justin Timberlake, who since has sold his interest. But the Denver location is backed by Ryan Tedder, lead singer of OneRepublic and a Colorado native. Celebrity buzz Parker continues on Page 24

Winery guide author will appear at library Mitchell has traveled to nearly all of Colorado’s facilities

Book for Wine lovers “Exploring Colorado Wineries” ($23.95) is available at bookstores, wineries and from the author: ExploringColoradoWineries.com, where updated information is added as it’s available to her and blogs describe winery visits in detail.

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews. com Local author Paula Mitchell shared tasting tips and suggestions about pairing wines and foods when she spoke at Littleton’s Bemis Library last month — and she especially talked about Colorado’s growing collection of wineries, as described in her 2012 book, “Exploring Colorado Wineries.” She is stopping again in the south metro area at 6:30 p.m. April 26, when she will appear at the Highlands Ranch Library, 9292 Ridgeline Blvd. For reservations, call 303-792-7323. She has visited 97 percent of the state’s 105 wineries, she said — meeting owners from all walks of life and sampling their products, which may vary from one or two specialties to a range of varieties and flavors. And she has recently completed training to be a Level II sommelier. Novices reading Mitchell’s book will appreciate her chapter on tasting, including advice to start a personal journal. There is an order: white before red, delicate before strong, dry before sweet … Five s’s follow: See, swirl, smell, sip, savor — plus a page of descriptive words. How to read a wine label and a section on the process of winemaking and grape varieties leads to an overview of common grapes grown in Colorado, resulting wines and related terminology The reader is ready to travel — hopefully with journal in hand — and Mitchell divides the state into regions, with details as to times when wineries are open for visits. Weekend expeditions may be the way to organize after one takes note of hours and locations. She defines Colorado’s regions

as: Grand Valley, Delta and Montrose counties, Four Corners Region, Front Range Region (north and south), Pikes Peak Region, Mountain Region. In addition to winery visits, there are numerous spots that host tasting rooms for more than one vintner — including several in the metro area which are open on Saturday afternoons and more. Colorado Winery Row at 4640 Pecos St. in Denver represents four wineries: Bonacquisti Wine Company, Cottonwood Cellars and The Olathe Winery, Garfield Estates Vineyard and Winery and Verso Cellars. The tasting room is open from noon to 5 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and by appointment. It exhibits work by local artists and sometimes has events with live music. Specialties are highlighted through the book: Liliputian Winery in Hotchkiss, for example, is the only producer in the U.S. of Ginger Wine, called ShangriLa — nice with sushi. After each regional grouping of wineries, Mitchell has included a listing of other things to do and see in the area. In the Delta and Montrose, West Elks Region, suggestions include: Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Morrow Point Boat Tours, the Creamery Arts Center, West Elk Scenic By-Way. For each winery, Mitchell pictures a label in color, lists how many cases are produced annually and which varieties; a message from the owner; tasting room details and other amenities; precise directions; and possible other tasting room locations.

aside, we found some solid Southern comfort with the service and the fare. Some of what we sampled were crispy buffalo shrimp, crispy fried pickles, Southern fried chicken and roasted corn. No room for the much-lauded banana pudding or “grandma’s bourbon pecan pie.”

Game day Grill grub

Vesta Dipping Grill wants to “take you out to the ballgame” (so to speak) beginning April 5 when baseball fans will have another alternative for food

on the way to Coors Field. Vesta’s Pre-Game PopUps will feature Korean BBQ Rib Sandwiches ($6) and Fresh Fruit Cups ($4) sweetened with agave syrup and chili lime. Other specials may “pop-up” throughout the season as well. The concept is the brainchild of Chef Brandon Foster, who says he wanted to “provide an alternative to

traditional ballgame food on the way to Coors Field.” Both the sandwiches and fruit cups will be available out front of Vesta, 1822 Blake St., 90 minutes before every Rockies day game, and select evening games through the 2013 season. Check out the restaurant’s Facebook page, www. facebook.com/vestagrill, for additional games and specials.

Lone Tree Arts center hitting stride By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com In its 18 months of life, the Lone Tree Arts Center has so far sold 67,300 tickets. That means nearly 4,000 people a month have passed through the auditorium doors. “To be able to talk about those kinds of numbers, even before the second season is over, I think is pretty remarkable,” executive director Lisa Rigsby Peterson said. “We didn’t start with a subscriber base of 5,000. We started from zero.” The long-planned $23 million center, which features a 500-seat auditorium, opened in August 2011. Peterson believes the high ticket volume to date partially reflects the quality and variety of programming she and her staff have booked, but said it goes deeper than that. “I think it also points to the pent-up demand there has been for some time in the south metro area,” she said. “Forty-eight percent of our ticket buyers are from Douglas County. Another 52 percent are from outside the county, primarily Arapahoe, Jefferson and Denver counties. “I think people who already love the arts will find the arts wherever they can. But what we hear over and over again, especial-

being a season ticket subscriber. “Proximity is a big factor for us,” she said. “I like being able to go to a show during the week that may get out a 10 o’clock (p.m.) and five minutes later, we’re home. It’s not the difficulty of being downtown,

having to navigate getting to the car and getting home. “To be able to see the Creede Repertory Theatre — which I’d heard about for years — five minutes from my house has just been phenomenal.” Arts lovers like Oja are key to the center’s success, but what thrills Peterson most is hearing from people who aren’t regular attendees. They, too, are vital to the center because first-timers often become regulars, bringing friends and family. Newcomers, as well as fans of niche productions, are drawn to unique productions like the One-Man Star Wars Trilogy. That broad cross-section of patrons is on Peterson’s mind when she concocts the artistic soup that is a new season. “When I`m choosing an event, it’s really a mixture of those two things,” she said. “What are things that are really satisfying for people who love the arts? And what are some things that might be very specific draws for people who will travel to see it?” Oja, who’s rarely missed an LTAC production since its opening, says the mix so far has been just right. “I’m really impressed there’s a very eclectic grouping of music and theater productions,” she said. “There’s something for everybody.”

Hall of fame honors rock Canyon senior Dismuke led state in goals last spring By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Wilkins Dismuke knows he has become a good lacrosse player because of all the attention he draws from opposing defenders. Dismuke, a senior at Rock Canyon High School who scored a state-leading 67 goals last spring, will be honored as the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame’s Boys High School Athlete of the Year April 18 at the Denver Marriott City Center. “Most of my success last year just came from having fun on the field,” Dismuke said. “The previous two years I was really worried about getting recruited. I was at a small school like Rock Canyon. I wasn’t really on the map or known nationwide by colleges so I felt I had to put up the numbers, the goals and assists, to get recognized.” He got recognized playing back East in a couple national tournaments, and collegiate lacrosse power Johns Hopkins invited

him to visit. He committed prior to his junior season to attend the Baltimore school, which has won nine NCAA titles and played in 18 NCAA championship games. “Making my verbal commitment to Johns Hopkins my sophomore summer going into my junior year, I knew I could relax, take it easy and have fun. I could focus on making the players around me every day in practice and games better, have fun and do what I like to do.” Dismuke, who was good at almost every sport he played as a youngster, has been a lacrosse standout since he started playing. As a freshman at Rock Canyon, he scored 48 goals and had 61 goals and 43 assists as a sophomore. He then added 67 goals and 20 assists last season. He has 15 goals in five games so far in the 2013 campaign. “Wilkins is an absolutely fantastic lacrosse player,” Rock Canyon coach Louis Goldin said. “He’s such a fierce competitor and has an extremely high IQ of the game. He is constantly honing his skills and is striving to get better. He’s coachable. He helps everyone on the team get better. He understands that this is not a one-man show.”

Dismuke, the 6-foot-3, 175-pound lefthanded shooting attackman, showed his abilities and class in a recent game against Mullen, the state’s No. 4-ranked team at that time. Dismuke was hounded by Mustang defenders the entire game and not given much room to move, but he showed his skills at finishing around the net and dodging opponents by scoring six of the Jaguars’ eight goals in a two-goal loss. “I’ve noticed that throughout the years, it has gotten a little bit harder each year,” Dismuke said. “Last year and this year, I get locked off almost every game by every team where they just have one defenseman faceguarding me. It’s difficult to get the ball, and when I do get the ball they are always quick to slide and double-team me. “I would say I sort of have a target on my back, but it’s nice that some of our other guys like our midfielders can jump in and help me out. Guys like Alexander Harlan, Colton Jackson and Liam Colter can step in and take the target off my back and I can score some goals here and there.” Dismuke and Rock Canyon, 3-2 and 2-0 in the Douglas County League standings, still have a lot of work ahead this season.

“This year we have the most talent of any team Rock Canyon has had in the previous years,” Dismuke said. “I think we can do something special with the raw talent we have on the team. “It’s always been a goal of mine to lead the state in goals or points. I have led the state in goals the past two years. I’d really like to keep that up. Getting my assists up is a big thing because that is going to help a lot when I get to college. And, just building up my physical stature, trying to get as big as I can before I get into college when I’ll be playing against college seniors.” Dismuke also had a plug for Colorado and the increased production of elite lacrosse talent in states in the western part of the United States. “I’d go out East with the Colorado Wild, 3d and with Colorado elite teams and the East Coast guys sort of have this mentality like lacrosse isn’t big out there and you don’t know what you’re doing,” he releated. “It’s awesome to beat some of those teams in the tournaments and put them in their place and show them we do have lacrosse out here in the West and it’s growing rapidly.”

HigH scHool sports roundup Ponderosa’s Carter Griffin and Nathan Mueller of Highlands Ranch won individual titles March 30 in the Dick Rush Colorado Coaches Invitational swim meet at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center pool in Thornton. Griffin, the senior who is the defending state 5A champion in the 200- and 500yard freestyle events, won the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 49.56. Mueller, a junior, captured the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 4:36.41. Last spring, Mueller finished third at the state meet in the 200 freestyle and was second in the 500 freestyle.

Highlands Ranch wound up fifth in the team standings with 159 points in the season’s first premier swimming meet. Littleton was seventh, Ponderosa eighth and Castle View/Douglas County 10th. The Falcons’ 200 medley relay team finished second in 1:39.61 and their 400 free relay foursome was third in 3:18.63. Littleton’s 200 freestyle relay team came in third in 1:28.57. Other individual Douglas County top finishers besides Griffin and Mueller included Castle View/Douglas County’s Jack Jenner, who was second in both the 200 freestyle (1:43.14) and the 100 freestyle

(46.96). Highlands Ranch’s Christopher McMahon was third in the 200 IM (1:58.68) and Castle View/Douglas County’s J.P. Beach came home third in the 50 freestyle (21.76).

Grizzlies romp on diamond

ThunderRidge’s baseball team had a successful trip to Arizona last week, winning four games in the Coach Bob Invitational tournament in Phoenix. The Grizzlies outscored their four opponents, 37-6. Chaparral went 3-2 in the same tournament and one of the Wolverines’ victories

was an 11-3 triumph over Pine Creek, which was Colorado’s top-ranked team last week. Ponderosa was 2-2 in the tourney. Douglas County compiled a 3-1 record in the Greenway Festival tournament in Phoenix, while Littleton lost three games. Mountain Vista played in the Desert Classic tourney in Las Vegas and divided four games. One of the Golden Eagles’ wins was a 9-1 victory over Cathedral (Calif.), which was nationally ranked by MaxPreps. Several teams will resume action this week against Colorado teams, and Continental League play will begin next week.

Workout trend on the upswing in Lone Tree By Jane Reuter

‘My boxing classes are very technical. Your first class, you might not even break a sweat.’ Pat Jiner, personal training manager

HigHlands R

ope Frantom was, she said, “an uncoordinated mess” when she started boxing. Now, she’s not just coordinated but has gained a level of confidence she says permeates every aspect of her life. “I feel like whatever you throw at me, I could probably do,” said the Aurora resident, who works as a trainer at Lone Tree Athletic Club. “I have more confidence about trying new things. I am more confident approaching men in a social situation. I’m also a more confident teacher. “It’s also a great workout.” Frantom is among a wave of women choosing boxing and kickboxing for fitness. A trend for several years, the sport got a boost with the debut of women’s boxing at the 2012 Olympics. Cardio kickboxing classes have grown 37 percent in the past three years, according to Women’s Health magazine. “Better than 60 percent of our class is made up of women,” said Stephen Stafford, general manager at Lone Tree’s LA Boxing. “I have a lot of teachers, medical professionals, lawyers, business executives — all high-stress jobs. It’s that release they get (from boxing), in an environment that’s not intimidating.” In addition to providing an emotional outlet, boxing offers “every aspect of fitness,” Stafford

said, adding that most people burn between 800 and 1,000 calories per class. “Aside from heavyweights, have you ever seen a fat boxer?” he asked. The Lone Tree Athletic Club recently opened a boxing room in early 2013, with the urging of personal training manager Pat Jiner, who’s also a professional fighter. “The response has been overwhelming,” he said. As at LA Boxing, most of Jiner’s students are women. He, too, praises the calorie-burning benefits of the sport, describing boxing as “one of the better total cardio exercises you can do.” But his first priority is form. “My boxing classes are very technical,” he said. “Your first

class, you might not even break a sweat. Before you can start amping up, I need to make sure your feet are underneath you and you’re punching properly. You take one of my classes and have to remember combinations. “It’s a thinking sport. It’s a holistic sport. There’s a lot of spirituality involved in it as well. I like the physicality, the discipline, the mental focus of the sport.” Frantom agrees, and said boxing isn’t what she’d expected. Jiner “kept telling me boxing is like dancing,” she said. “I’ve never been able to dance. I was very intimidated. You have to think about 500 different things at the same time.” She also had to first overcome an aversion to the idea of punching.

Sandra Wong of Castle Rock, participating in a kickboxing class at the Lone Tree Athletic Club, is among a growing wave of women using boxing and kickboxing for fitness.
