Armed marshals will patrol schools Program will be similar to approach used on planes

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Beginning with the 2013-14 school year, armed officers will circulate through all Douglas County School District elementary and middle schools and early childhood centers.

Armed officers are already present in the district’s high schools.

Flanked by Douglas County law enforcement officers, with about 20 Soaring Hawk Elementary fifth-graders seated in front of her, Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen announced the new security program during a May 30 press conference at the Castle Rock school.

The partnership among DCSD, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, and the Parker, Castle Rock and Lone Tree police departments was created in response to December’s mass shooting in a Newtown, Conn.,

elementary school.

“Our whole school district was brokenhearted over that event,” Fagen said. “We were committed to taking that brokenheartedness and turning it into something better.”

Modeled after the airline marshal program, Douglas County deputies and police officers in plain clothes will circulate among schools in close geographic proximity to ensure daily visits to all DCSD schools.

It “will create safety and security like we’ve never had before,” Fagen said. “We’re not aware of any other program like this in the country.”

Each of Douglas County’s nine high schools already has an armed, uniformed school resource officer. The marshal program expands on that idea, encompassing all schools.

DCSD confirmed that its investment is more than $500,000, with the partner law enforcement agencies paying the un-

Teacher evaluations trigger new protest Parents, students rally outside meeting at Saddle Ranch

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ ourcoloradonews.com For the second time in a week, parents and students protested district action May 30 outside a Douglas County school.

As a dispute rages over a new evaluation system, Saddle Ranch Elementary School is losing eight teachers — five to other districts and three to retirement. That loss amounts to more than a quarter of the

Douglas County School District administrators met inside the school with the principal and staff.

Parents had planned to attend the meeting with Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen to learn why none of their teachers earned a “highly effective” rating under DCSD’s new evaluation system, but weren’t allowed.

School officials say the meeting was for staff only, and school board member Kevin Larsen reported May 31 that while the meeting was initially passionate, it ended peacefully.

Summer in Lone Tree means free music, movies and yoga. Concerts are planned at both Sweetwater Park and RidgeGate, and all are open to the public.

The city’s Sweetwater Park annual concert series starts at 6 p.m. June 15 with two bands: longtime Colorado jazz band Dotsero, and blues/soul/rock artist Hamilton Loomis.

Raising Cain and the Steve Thomas Band will perform during the 4 to 10 p.m. Independence Day Celebration at the park, a free evening of activities and fireworks limited to Lone Tree and Acres Green residents and their guests.

The second Sweetwater Park concert is at 6 p.m. July 20, featuring The Samples and Mary Louise Lee Band.

Food and other refreshments will be available during both concerts. Sweetwater Park is located behind the Lone Tree Civic Center off Lone Tree Parkway and Sweetwater Road, and also is accessible off Yosemite Street and Maximum Drive.

Business course gives young people a shot at success

By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com When Castle Pines entrepreneur Judah Musick considered the best way to teach his children the value of a purposeful life, he opted to go global with the lesson.

Musick and four of his business partners run a web and mobile development company, which is one of several start-ups the four have had a hand in.

Each of their companies has one thing in common — they were built around their owners’ passions.

A casual conversation about teaching children the value of pursuing what they love eventually became the Teen Startup Challenge, a web-based course designed to take participants from ground zero to business ownership.

“Basically we want them to take what they love to do and turn it into a value of some kind,” Musick said. “It was a heartfelt need that we saw. What we’re teaching them to do is unlock unlimited potential through serving their community.”

The course prepares participants by week two or three to start their own business with a foundation based on the Making Value for People business model, a lesson that can be applied to any area of life, Musick said.

Practitioners of the MVP business model learn to add more value to the people around them to remain focused in the direction of success, Musick said.

In the end, the business is a side benefit to the real lesson: to create significant value to the community by doing something they love to do, Musick said.

It is a lesson that one Highlands Ranch teen is already beginning to understand.

Rylie Manross, 14, was inspired to launch her website, dancetothepointe.com, after a private lesson with a writer who prompted her to start her own business.

Manross built the website, designed the layout, produced instructional videos and within two months was ready to take orders for her dancetothepointe line of clothing.

She offers tips on how to audition, diet, stretching and fitness.

“I really believe starting your own business is great for kids,” Manross said.

The Teen Startup Challenge is supported by sponsors and free to participants. The 10-week course is challengebased and results-oriented, Musick said.

Participants are competing for prizes that include $5,000 in electronic equipment, sponsor gift certificates, free events, meals and products.

“The whole presumption is they’re learning by doing,” Musick said. “It’s not about planning, it’s about results and execution.”

lONE TREE NEws iN a huRRy Lincoln bridge work slows traffic

Construction on the Lincoln Avenue bridge over Interstate 25 continues through June 30.

The construction requires closing eastbound lanes of Lincoln Avenue and southbound I-25 off-ramp lanes from 8 p.m. Fridays to 5 a.m. Mondays.

The closure is needed because new concrete takes 10 to 12 hours to cure. During this time, lanes will be closed, but construction crews won’t be visibly working.

The concrete replacement is needed to ensure the Lincoln Avenue bridge can withstand its heavy traffic.

Considerable traffic delays are expected during the lane closures and drivers are advised to avoid the area.

Cabela’s work may impact drivers

Construction delays and closures on westbound RidgeGate Parkway and the southbound Interstate 25 off-ramp will continue through early July.

Crews are making modifications to the center median and adding left-turn lanes from westbound RidgeGate Parkway onto

Cabela Drive. Additionally, modifications are under way to the crosswalks at RidgeGate Parkway and Cabela Drive.

Lanes will be closed within the work zone during the construction, and drivers may wish to seek alternate routes. For more information, call Lone Tree’s Public Works Department, at 303-662-8112.

Fourth of July wristbands available

Independence Day Celebration wristbands are available for pickup at the Lone Tree Arts Center box office between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

They also will be sold at the 6 p.m. June 15 Dotsero and Hamilton Loomis summer concert at Sweetwater Park.

Wristbands are required to enter the Independence Day Celebration. Children 3 and younger do not need a wristband.

They are available until supplies last.

A representative of each household in Lone Tree and Acres Green can pick up four wristbands free and purchase an additional four wristbands at $5 each.

The Lone Tree Arts Center is at 10075 Commons St.

Medical-expert panel to discuss ‘Obamacare’ Lone Tree Chamber will sponsor gathering

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com A panel of medical experts will provide information and answer questions about changes in health care stemming from the implementation of ObamaCare at 4 p.m.

June 12 at the Denver Marriott South in Lone Tree.

Representatives from Sky Ridge Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente and the University of Colorado School of Medicine will talk about how health-care organizations are dealing with the changes, how the mandates impact businesses and resulting changes to the healthcare marketplace. A brief question-and-answer session will follow.

It’s information that almost everyone can use.

“It really is a very broad-based discussion,” Sky Ridge Medical Center spokeswoman Linda Watson said. “It’s going to affect business owners, and the offerings they provide their employees, and people who are out on the market if they’ve previously been insured by their company. It’s a very complex issue. People need to understand the ramifications of all their choices, personally and from a business perspective.”

The ObamaCare Health Insurance exchange opens Oct. 1, allowing people to buy health insurance from private health care providers. The Lone Tree event aims to answer questions before that date.

Panelists include Sky Ridge Medical Center chief medical officer Dr. David Markenson, Kaiser Permanente vice president of regional strategy Roland Lyon and University of Colorado professor of emergency medicine Dr. Benjamin Honigman.

Brenda LaCombe with Colorado Health Benefit Exchange also will sit on the panel; the exchange helps individuals, families and small businesses buy quality, affordable health insurance.

The event is sponsored by the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce, which formed a HealthCare Commission to provide education and outreach to those within the healthcare industry and the general population. The panel presentation is its first event.

“One of my missions and goals with the chamber is to be more of service to the community, both the business and residential community,” said Chamber Director Linda Harmon. “A big part of that is to service the health-care industry that’s such a driving factor in Lone Tree. Health care really is kind of becoming the mainstay of the town.”

Pre-registration for the event is required, and may be completed at www.lonetree chamber.com.

Old maps restored, 35 years after fire Historic documents available once more

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcolorado news.com

In an unsuccessful attempt to spring her boyfriend from jail, a teenage girl set fire to the Douglas County Courthouse on March 11, 1978. e ex- The fire forced the county to spread its services around le toCastle Rock for the next couple years, including placing ealththe court and commissioners chambers in the bowling alms toley, said former mayor and current Douglas County Public Trustee George Kennedy. In addition, it damaged many of dicalthe county’s historic documents and records.

David And while some of those records, including most from resi-the public trustee’s office, and many from the treasurer’s andoffice are gone forever, a lot of the old records, maps and mer-documents from the clerk and recorder’s office were reman.cently restored. ealth In recognition the recent restoration of 51 maps dating anel;from the 1860s through the 1970s, an old pauper’s book, miliesa ditch book and a brand book that kept record of cattle ford-brands, the clerk and recorder’s office placed some of the documents on display at the commissioner chambers for a Treereception on May 28. ed a “It’s been a three-pronged journey of restoration, presedu-ervation and digitization,” said Nancy Sotomayor, recordn theing manager at the clerk and recorder’s office. opu- “It’s taken about a year to complete the project.

it will have to do with a dispute; somebody is claiming that this is their property or not their property, so it is great to have these maps to go back and settle some of this.”

Two of the restored maps, including one from 1891 that shows the original platting of Perry Park, have been framed and are expected to be hung in the Wilcox Building.

For Bill Noe, the county’s planning director and land use administrator in 1978, the reception brought back a lot of memories of working overnight the night of the fire and through the ensuing days and nights to relocate the maps to a climate-controlled location in the state historical society building in Denver.

“We took all the plats and laid them out page by page, and dried them as best we could,” he said. “It’s pretty amazing we salvaged what we did.”

With the exception of the maps bound for the Wilcox Building, the other restored documents are not on public display, but since they are public record, Sotomayor said anyone can come into the clerk and recorder’s office and ask to see them.

School-finance ball is in voters’ court Lobato ruling means no quick rescue for funding

By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Those who had hoped that the Colorado Supreme Court would come to the rescue of underfunded public schools now turn their attention to persuading taxpayers to provide more money for classrooms in school districts across the state.

In a highly anticipated ruling, the court on May 28 overturned a lower court’s decision that declared that the state’s school funding system — which plaintiffs said was inadequate and unfair — is unconstitutional.

Now, the only immediate way that school funding will reach levels that are even on par with the rest of the nation — Colorado spends nearly $2,000 less per pupil than the national average — is if Colorado voters decide to foot the bill of about $1 billion annually that is tied to a major piece of legislation that overhauls the school-finance formula.

“It’s really our last best hope,” said Jeffer-

son County Public Schools Superintendent Cindy Stevenson.

Jeffco schools was one of 67 plaintiffs in the high-profile Lobato case.

The case originated from a 2005 lawsuit that was named after a San Luis Valley family who alleged that Colorado was not living up to its constitutional mandate of providing a “thorough and uniform” system of funding for education.

Plaintiffs argued that the state’s funding system particularly affects poor students and that money is not equally allotted among school districts.

A state district court agreed with the plaintiffs in 2011. However, the state Supreme Court overturned that decision, ruling that school-financing decisions should be left to lawmakers, and not for the courts to remedy.

“While the trial court’s detailed findings of fact demonstrate that the current public school financing system might not be ideal policy, this court’s task is not to determine `whether a better financing system could be devised,’ but rather to determine `whether the system passes Constitutional muster,’” wrote Justice Nancy Rice in the court’s majority opinion.

Douglas County School Board President John Carson welcomed last week’s ruling.

“This case was not just about school funding, the Lobato case threatened the unique role of local boards of education in overseeing the establishment, funding and maintenance of public schools and the public school finance system,” Carson said. “We believe that local boards of education and the General Assembly are the most appropriate forums for addressing the specific and unique needs of local school districts.”

Gov. John Hickenlooper, a supporter of the court’s decision, told reporters that the high court did not rule that schools are funded adequately, but that a civil action “was not the right way to increase that funding.”

Although Stevenson said she was disappointed with the court’s decision, she agrees with the governor’s assessment of the ruling.

“What it says that is that it needs to be determined through the people or the Legislature, and not for the court system to remedy,” she said. “I don’t think either side is cheering about this.”

Republican lawmakers released statements in favor of the court’s ruling. Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman of Colorado Springs said the decision “affirms the constitutional authority of an elected legisla-

tive body to represent the people of this state.”

Rep. Carole Murray, R-Castle Rock, said that “a plaintiff victory would have drained the general fund and intruded on the General Assembly’s constitutional authority to appropriate taxpayer dollars.”

Colorado’s K-12 education system already consumes about 40 percent of the state’s general fund. Supporters of the decision said that, had the court sided with the plaintiffs, it would have put a greater burden on the state.

Now, the focus turns to Senate Bill 213, which has been dubbed the Future School Finance Act. The legislation, which has been signed

by Hickenlooper, would fund full-day kindergarten and provide more money for atrisk students and English learners. The act also aims to fund school districts in a more equitable fashion.

State Republican lawmakers flatly objected to the bill this past legislative session, arguing that the act imposes a $1 billion tax increase on Coloradans without addressing true reform needs.

But bill supporters say there is now a greater sense of urgency for voters to pass the tax hike, on the heels of the Lobato decision.

Alternative high school grads amazed, grateful 32 seniors go through commencement at DC Oakes

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcolorado news.com Most of the 32 students who graduated from Daniel C. Oakes High School May 30 offered a shared sentiment: Amazement and gratitude that they were standing at the lectern on graduation day.

Several students, all of whom were allowed to make short speeches during the ceremony, started with a single word: “Wow.” “I didn’t think I was going to make it here today, but I did,” said Marco Trujillo, whose words sparked thunderous applause from the crowd gathered at Castle Rock Middle School.

Castle Rock’s DC Oakes is an alternative high school that combines personalized instruction, outdoor education and an arts program to offer a different experience to students who struggled in a traditional high school setting. Many chose DC Oakes instead of dropping out, some with little faith that it would make a difference in their lives.

Not only did the 32 students graduate

from high school, 27 of them plan to go to college.

Principal Mark Morgan congratulated them for their resiliency and well-earned pride.

With a high school diploma, “You’ve already set yourselves up to have a better life,” he said. “You will live longer and have healthier lives. You will earn approximately $200,000 more over the course of your lives than if you had chosen to drop out.”

The school was a perfect match for Ryan Fleury, who felt out-of-step at Douglas County High School.

“As I was falling apart, I got into Oakes,” he said. “This school’s like a family.”

“I have to say DC Oakes is amazing,” said his mother, Melissa Fleury, wiping away tears. “He was on a bad path. He’s never felt like teachers cared before he came here.”

Graduating seniors repeatedly referenced the sense of family they feel among the school’s students, teachers and staff.

“Whoever said Disneyland was the happiest place on earth obviously hasn’t been to DC Oakes,” Kelliann Oxley said.

“This school gave me the change I needed,” Tanner Lane said.

“These diplomas aren’t just pieces of paper to us. They’re a chance for a better future.”

Virtual school gets real for graduation Students say online study helped them reach goals

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Joseph Bond hopes someday to be a professional hockey player. He might not have a shot if not for eDCSD, the online high school from which he recently graduated.

“It’s helped me follow my dreams,” said Bond, a Highlands Ranch resident.

Bond started high school at Rock Canyon, but switched to the online option when hockey took him on the road and out of state.

“The past two years, I get up, do my hockey and workout, then get on the computer in my room and just do my work,” Bond said. “It’s hard being away from all your friends. But it’s nice because I can work at my own pace.”

Bond so far has played hockey in Washington and Canada, and next year will join a team in Maine.

“My ultimate goal is to get as far as I can,” he said. “I want to try to get a scholarship to play in a Division 1 college school.” eDCSD also helped Christina Griggs reach professional heights most high school students never could imagine. She already is a recognized expert in World War I German aviation, in large part because

online school enabled her to travel, speak and study abroad.

“White-haired professors from around the world have consulted with me on various occasions, and are always shocked to learn that I am a teenage girl,” Griggs said in a speech she gave during the May 23 eDCSD graduation ceremony at Rock Canyon High School. “Two non-fiction authors have cited me in their published works, and a war museum in Poland has offered to fly me out to be featured as one their main curators and historians during a grand opening of a special aviation section.

“If I had continued to go to a brick-andmortar high school, I doubt any of these endeavors would have been possible.”

Principal Sohne Van Selus is proud but not surprised by the stories from her 2013 graduates, the third eDCSD graduating class.

“People tell us we’re the best-kept secret in Douglas County when they find out about us,” she said.

About 250 students are enrolled in K-12 eDCSD, most of them high schoolers. They include athletes, actors, students who are ill or working, and those who simply don’t do well in a traditional setting.

Formerly an assistant principal at Rock Canyon, Van Selus said working as principal of an online school is not as dissimilar from leading a traditional school as it appears.

“I don’t get to walk down the hall

“But I do receive direct instant messaging.

I’ll have students who, as though they were walking into my office, will send me a chat.

They’re sharing information with me in a real-time fashion. It replaces the open-door policy I’ve always had.”

Chamber Trade Mission Targets Oil & Gas Executives in Houston

Calendar of Events For a complete calendar of South Metro Denver Chamber events and for more information, visit our web site at www.bestchamber.com or call 303-795-0142.

by Manny Gonzales, South Metro Denver Chamber

As part of the South Metro Denver Chamber’s ongoing mission to ensure Colorado’s economic vitality, a group of business leaders traveled to Houston recently to meet with high ranking executives from some of the largest oil and gas companies in the world.

The trade mission focused on thanking those oil and gas companies for doing business in Colorado while adhering to strict environmental and health standards as well as laying the groundwork for future investment in Colorado.

“Due to the efforts of our state and local elected officials and the input of our citizens and business community, we have created a clear and consistent framework for (oil and gas companies) to operate under,” Chamber CEO & President John Brackney said.

Business ambassadors included Rick Whipple, chair of the chamber’s Economic Development Group and CEO of WhippleWood CPAs; Gayle Dendinger: CEO of CAP Logistics; Detlev Simonis: Director, Oil and Energy, CAP Logistics; Josh Penry: Senior Vice President of EIS Solutions; Andrew Casper: Regulatory Counsel at Colorado Oil and Gas Association; Peter Moore, a Senior Partner at Polsinelli PC; A.J. Misiti, Water Market Lead – Upstream Oil & Gas, CH2M Hill; Jim McGrath, Executive Vice President at Studley; Devin Mulhern, Director of Business Recruitment for the Denver South EDP; Frederic de Loizaga, Senior Associate of Office Properties at CBRE; Anthony Albanese, Senior Associate of Office Properties/Energy Facilities at CBRE; Forrest Bassett, a broker associate with Grillo Commercial Real Estate and Jeff Holwell, Director of the chamber’s Economic Development Group.

“The Denver group brought a very powerful presence to Houston,” Bassett said. “I am very excited to keep this effort moving ahead and bring a positive impact

to Denver.”

Misiti said: “It was an outstanding experience…

Many good commercial relationships were established.

In addition to the commercial success, this was the most fun I have had on a business trip in many years.

What a great team.”

The group met with John Christiansen, Director of Public Affairs and External Relations with Anadarko Petroleum, Damian Friend, Chief Geologist, and Jim Tramuto, VP of Government and Regulatory Strategies with Southwestern Energy and executives with ConocoPhillips. The group was also treated with a sit-down meeting with Chuck Davidson, Chairman and CEO, of Noble Energy, one of the largest oil and gas companies operating in Colorado.

“Colorado has a significant potential to grow primary jobs, and thus wealth, in our communities through the expansion of the oil and gas industry,” Holwell said.

“It is therefore essential that we align our economic development and public policy priorities relative to this potential and advocate for the industry as a united business community.

“Our trade mission to Houston was eye opening event and helped us create the relationships to move this agenda forward,” Holwell added.

The trade mission could not have been more timely, as Arapahoe County’s Board of Commissioners were convening their own meetings with oil and gas industry leaders, citizens and the state rule-making authority, The Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Administration (COGCC). Faced with a highly politicized climate in the state that has seen some elected officials wantonly throwing around moratoriums, the board unanimously approved a memorandum of understanding that sets high standards for oil and gas operators beyond the

rigorous, comprehensive regulations already in place at the state level.

“Businesses value consistent regulatory environments, and Arapahoe County is leading the way in Colorado to reassure the industry that there will be no surprises and we will not run them out of town,” Brackney said. “Our success both today and into the future depends on balance, something we need to see more of as Colorado determines how best to utilize natural resources like oil and gas.”

The South Metro Denver Chamber continues to lead the way in building ‘Remarkable Relationships and a Thriving Community’ through its wide variety of programming and outreach to local, state, national and international business leaders.

opinions / yours and ours

A smart direction on school safety Armed guards patrol banks, ballparks and airports. It is rarely argued they are out of place in those venues.

Schools are different. They are places of learning, places for children, our nation’s most precious resource. Years after Columbine, months after Sandy Hook, talk of placing armed security personnel in schools evokes a broad range of reactions.

If done wrong, such a move could be disruptive and create fear among students.

But if done right, there is little to lose and perhaps, lives to be saved.

We see a partnership in Douglas County between the school district and local law enforcement agencies as an example of a way to bolster security while allowing for an unfettered learning environment.

Beginning with the next school year in August, plainclothes officers from the sher-

our view iff’s office and three police departments will patrol the county’s public elementary and middle schools. At the high school level, armed resource officers have been a presence on campus for years.

A safety committee’s work on this new program began shortly after December’s mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut. It is a multifaceted plan that incorporates security measures beyond the presence of officers, including improved screening of visitors and enhanced use of technology.

But the move to place armed officers on campuses, announced May 30, is what has made headlines. That’s understandable. Creating a police state at our schools is not something anyone should want. To be clear, though, that’s not what is being planned in Douglas County.

The School Marshal Program will see deputies and police officers assigned to schools in nearby proximity, and the officers will be a daily presence at the schools.

The plan is to allow for greater ability to respond to an incident, as well as be a deterrent to those with ill intent.

“We’re not aware of any other program like this in the country,” said Elizabeth Fagen, superintendent of the Douglas County School District.

Strengthening community bonds is among the most laudable elements of the

program. Douglas County’s safety committee has representatives from law enforcement agencies, the school district and various community members.

Some may question whether the program will be worth its price tag — at least $500,000 on the part of the school district and an undisclosed amount absorbed by the law enforcement agencies. It’s a fair question, but we’re not prepared to set a dollar limit on children’s safety.

Douglas County is among the most affluent areas of the entire nation, and the program’s cost may make it prohibitive for many school districts and communities to fully implement. But the root ideas of a multi-pronged approach and community cooperation are worthy of serious consideration in Colorado and around the country.

Look on the bright side of wife

Pat yourself on the back, Colorado Way to go Colorado!!

For the past two months I have had many friends, relatives and clients visit our great state and they had come in from many different parts of the country. Most either stayed at my home or rented a hotel nearby.

As we attended events and participated in business meetings, we also had the opportunity to do some sightseeing as well as just spending time with friends and in local establishments. The comments were so consistently positive that I felt compelled to share some of their experiences and observations as they enjoyed their time here in Colorado.

I think the most consistent theme was the relaxed or laid-back nature of the people here in Colorado. They recognize that we have a state full of highly competitive and spirited athletes and business professionals, but they noticed that it is a healthy sense of competition and fair play.

And as they described that laid-back or relaxed feeling, they included how nice the people are even as we were walking down the street.

Obviously everyone has pointed to the beauty and majesty of the mountains and the Colorado landscape, and although we can’t actually take credit for that, we can take credit for making the decision to make Colorado our home.

I heard positive feedback about everything from the customers in the grocery store or local shops to the people who work there and serve the community. Most everyone smiles and most everyone seemed to take a genuine interest.

Even my friends, co-workers, and family from back east commented on how much more relaxed our roadways are compared to the hustle and bustle of the commutes in other parts of the country, particularly back east. One friend recognized that you hardly ever hear anyone blowing or honking their horn. It would seem like they would almost rather miss that traffic light and wait for the next one instead of beeping their horn at the person in front of

The song goes “Always look on the bright side of your wife,” I think. And that’s exactly what I have been doing, since the day of my illegitimate marriage to Jennifer.

For better or for worse, you will see a different writer now.

I get emails from readers who look forward to a grumpy old man every week, and I want to apologize to them if the new me is too benign and too innocuous.

For years I have been a grouch, partly because of Groucho and others who tend to grumble their way through life, not with anger, but with humor.

I have been told that sarcasm is a disease. Well, I happen to like the disease, but it must be influenced by humor. Otherwise it’s just ranting. Read a few letters to the editor, especially about things like gun control (an oxymoron), to see what I mean.

My illegitimate marriage has changed all of that. I can read the daily paper without exasperation. I can leave the house without exasperation. I can be around people without being exasperated by their behavior and annoying mannerisms.

them. If anything they noticed the tiniest and gentlest little beep. Just enough to get someone’s attention without offending them. That of course is contrasted to someone leaning on their horn as loudly and for as long as they possibly can back east or in other major metropolitan areas.

We even received credit for how well we get along in the parks and open spaces offered here in Colorado. We have such beautiful parks but what caught the attention of my guests was that there was no bickering or squabbling over space, no one getting in each other’s space, and actually quite the opposite, in most examples we witnessed people joining parties and coming together as a community.

So from the pizza parlors and bars, to the parks and open spaces, to the shops and grocery stores, and yes even to the drivers who make up our morning and evening commutes, you have all been recognized for your courteous, polite and chivalrous personalities and behaviors.

Way to go Colorado and Coloradans!!

I hope you are proud of our community.

You certainly play a major role in making the experience for us all and our visitors a better place to live. And if you have a “Colorado Pride” story, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And come on Colorado, let’s make this a better than good week!

I have a profound disbelief in weddings.

They are a form of fraud that involves billions of dollars, probably, annually, and wedding planners. The biggest weddings are bigger frauds, with Franckier Francks.

Our wedding lasted half a minute, if that. It was performed by my best friend Mike, who flew in from Lafayette, Calif., to do it, even though he didn’t know he was going to be doing it until he got off the plane.

I told him I wanted him here to com-

Regarding the salary plan for teachers in Douglas County Schools: It is appalling to witness the deterioration of relationships between the school board and the vast majority of very dedicated, hard-working, and successful educators who are being undermined and belittled at every opportunity.

This current salary-schedule scheme is the latest blow — it does take a “village of educators” to educate children, from kin-

dergarten through high school. All levels of learning and teaching are important — just ask a parent! Offering bonuses for hard-tofill subjects and exceptional results is valid; designating important grades and subjects to a lower income level is not.

Pitting teachers against each other on the salary scale will not result in better educated students. Douglas County has the resources to do more — do they have the will?

Military must fight sex crimes

The United States military is the most mit- capable and most professional fighting ce- force the world has ever seen. At its core are our men and women in uniform, whose selfless service and sacrifice for o- the cause of freedom is the main reason ast Americans have held the military in such ict high regard. by Time and again, they rise to the occar sion to defeat and deter America’s enemies. a Yet while this fine institution is adept at meeting external threats, I am troubled by its inability to defeat and deter a grave the threat from within: the epidemic of sexual e assaults and sexual misconduct in our i- military. eas In January, at a House Armed Services Committee hearing on sexual misconduct, ous I challenged several senior military leaders the on this problem.

I voiced my concern that we need to change the culture that allows this misconduct to take place; that leaders must hold their subordinates accountable; that we must face these incidents with moral outrage so this behavior stops. This is why the House Armed Services Committee, on which I proudly serve, is supporting tough measures in this year’s annual National Defense Authorization Act to fight sexual assault in the military by holding perpetrators accountable and better protecting the victims.

Smith Continued from Page 8

pete in a bocce tournament with Jennifer and me and her oldest daughter Casey, who would be his teammate. I told him to bring a crying towel.

The measures proposed in this year’s defense bill will move us toward our goal.

Some of the measures I support include: • Removing a commander’s ability to change or dismiss a court-martial conviction; • Limiting a commander’s discretion to modify or lessen a sentence; • Increasing transparency by requiring the commander to provide a detailed written explanation for any decision disapproving, commuting, or suspending a court-martial conviction or sentence; • Allowing greater victim participation in post-trial matters involving the accused; • Establishing mandatory minimum sentencing — mandatory discharge or dismissal — for certain sex-related offenses; • Eliminating the five-year statute of limitations for trial by court-martial so

that perpetrators of such misconduct will face justice regardless of when the incident occurred; • Affirming commanders’ authority to reassign or remove a service member who is accused of committing sexual assault or other sex-related offense from a position of authority; • Increasing victims’ access to legal assistance; and • Requiring the Secretary of Defense to submit to report a Congress on sentencing guidelines and mandatory minimum sentencing and the role of commanders in the military justice system.

I am also a co-sponsor of legislation that would promote victims’ rights by expanding whistle-blower protections to a wider class of communications involving sexual misconduct.

Specifically, it would require an Inspector General to investigate all allegations of retaliatory actions taken in response to making protected communications regarding rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct.

The important legislation discussed above has broad, bipartisan support, and it takes a more aggressive approach to addressing sexual assault and sexual misconduct in the military than we have seen in previous defense bills. Some members of Congress argue that these measures do

not go far enough — that the disposition of all serious criminal cases should be handled outside the chain of command.

While I understand their concern, I believe they go too far — we should not throw out the baby with the bathwater. What makes our military justice system unique is that it entrusts commanders with the duty to enforce “good order and discipline.” Surely lawmakers can work with military leaders to devise a system that meets Congress’ intent to hold perpetrators accountable, protect victims, and maintain good order and discipline.

To accomplish their missions and defend this country, our men and women in uniform must be able to depend on one another.

They must be able to trust that their command will protect them from sexual predators within the ranks. Not only do these crimes inflict lasting damage on individuals, they compromise the effectiveness of our military as a whole. It is why I am committed to solving this terrible problem once and for all.

The tournament was on a Saturday.

The wedding was supposed to take place afterwards in my kitchen.

But Casey, who was supposed to be our witness and ring bearer, couldn’t make it.

We regrouped on Sunday. I asked my best friend Greg to help out. I have two best friends, if you’re wondering.

We are leasing the marriage for five years. We turn this one in just like a leased

Accord. It’s illegitimate, like I said. It’s not even a common-law marriage.

I now have three illegitimate children and an illegitimate dog that I didn’t have a month ago. None of them will ever live with me. I don’t have to feed them, clothe them, or tweeze their fleas.

Jennifer is not going to live with me either. We will paint together and travel together. It’s perfect.

“Love’s happiness is just an illusion, filled with sadness and confusion.” I don’t believe that. Love is the drug, but it’s nearly impossible to find. Jennifer and I have found it, and I am a new man, looking on the bright side of life.

A former broadcast journalist and current Parker Fire Protection District board member is running for a seat on the Douglas County school board. Ronda Scholting, whose adult children attended Douglas County schools, believes it’s time for a new voice on the seven-member panel.

“It looks like the school district I moved my kids to Douglas County for is not the same,” she said.

“I decided something needed to be done to try to change the direction they’ve been taking us.”

Four board members’ terms expire this NovemScholting ber, including those held

by Doug Benevento, Carrie Mendoza, Meghann Silverthorn and President John Carson. Carson is term-limited and cannot run again.

Scholting is running for the District G seat, currently held by Silverthorn.

A public relations manager for the Denver-based RE/MAX real estate company, Scholting worked in the past as a reporter and anchor for Denver’s KMGH-TV Channel 7, followed by a self-employed period in which she researched and reported stories for national media including ABC, CBS and CNN. “Being a reporter is sort of like being a public servant,” she said. “Since I’m no longer a reporter, I feel like I still owe some public service.”

Scholting is concerned about some of the board’s fiscal decisions, compensation for upper administration and changes to the high schools’ schedules.

“Where they think the money should

go is not where I and my neighbors think it should go — which is in the classroom,” she said.

Many of Scholting’s Parker neighbors have teenagers enrolled in Douglas County high schools, most of which adopted a block schedule that has received both praise and criticism.

“The parents in my neighborhood are very concerned about the quality of education their kids are getting and how much time they’re spending in the classroom,” she said.

Scholting questions the current board’s overall use of taxpayer dollars, including the setting aside of large reserves she feels could benefit students.

“I don’t mean to spend every penny of taxpayer dollars; I’m fiscally responsible,” she said.

“It just doesn’t seem like we’re getting a good return.

“We also need to take another look at what administrators are making, the philosophy around big bonuses, and decide if those people sitting in the building in Wilcox are where we need to be investing the money.”

The Douglas County School District administration offices are on Wilcox Street in Castle Rock.

Scholting is a Democrat. Though the office is officially nonpartisan, all current school board members are Republicans, and the Douglas County Republicans plan to invest money in the November election to support pro-education reform candidates.

“When it comes to the school board, there should be no partisanship,” said Scholting, noting she has bipartisan support. “It should be what’s best for students, teachers and taxpayers. There are many people who don’t believe the direction this board is heading is best for the community.

I feel like I have a lot of support to move the district back toward where it was when I moved here.”

douglas county sheriff briefs Burglars hit area homes

Three residential thefts were reported to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office from May 20 to May 22.

A house that was being rented out in the 1400 block of Finn Avenue in the McArthur Ranch subdivision of unincorporated Douglas County was burglarized May 20 while it was in the process of being remodeled for the new tenants. Taken from the garage of the home were a dishwasher, microwave and oven that were being stored while new flooring was being installed inside the home.

Also on May 20, a resident of the 7300 block of Brixham Circle in Castle Pines had metal chairs stolen from the front porch overnight.

Additionally, on May 22, deputies responded to the 10600 block of Cherrybrook Circle in Highlands Ranch on a report of stolen golf clubs valued at $2,000.

The vehicle parked in the garage was also rummaged through, but the homeowner

said nothing was taken from it.

Restrooms vandalized

Graffiti was reported on the interior walls of a restroom at Timberline Park in Highlands Ranch on May 21 and a toilet seat and stool were reported to be dislodged from a restroom floor at Paintbrush Park in Castle Rock on that same day.

`Wag Your Tail’ set

Benefiting the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit, the first-ever “Wag Your Tail” Dog Walk and Barbecue is planned for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 22 at Hidden Mesa Open Space in Franktown. There will be food, fun, fitness, booths and K9 demonstrations. The cost is $25 for adults, $8 for kids ages 12 and younger, and no charge for man’s best friend — but he or she must be on leash and a proof of rabies vaccination will be required at check-in. For more information or to pre-register, please visit www.K9friends.org.

released balance. School and law enforcement representatives were light on financial and other details, saying the information could compromise the very security they aim to provide.

“Sure, there’s cost involved,” said Sheriff Dave Weaver. “We as a united front will work out those costs; it’s for the best interests of our citizens.

That’s a risk they’re going to have to take.”

DCSD formed a safety committee immediately following the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting, and the marshal program is part of a series of measures that arose from that group. Those include training for school staff, structural changes in schools such as improved exterior doors, new locks, additional cameras and exterior lighting, established safe areas, stepped-up visitor screening and enhanced district-wide communication.

DCSD school security already includes locked doors and safety personnel at the front doors of each building, safety and lockdown drills, and many other programs.

even agree that in the end, while maybe all the answers that were explained weren’t everything they wanted, they felt they got the chance to express their disappointments, hear from us the explanations of what’s going on, and build a place for understanding moving forward,” Larsen said.

In addition to the eight departing teachers, four other staff members are leaving Saddle Ranch. Principal Ryan Craven said three teachers are retiring, and five are “making professional choices and moving to other districts.”

The loss of those teachers inspired several parents to protest.

“When you see your beloved teacher resign, it becomes personal,” parent Dina Chatwin said. “They’re the voices for our children. It’s time we be the voices for them.”

The evaluations, new this year and tied to teacher pay increases and a new, market-based pay system, establish teacher rankings ranging from “highly effective” to “ineffective.” Across Highlands Ranch at Trailblazer Elementary, 70 percent of teachers got a “highly effective” rating, prompting a second, independent DCSD review and a May 23 parent/student protest.

The concerns at Saddle Ranch were the opposite.

“Saddle Ranch is a fantastic school,” parent Brenda Greengold said, noting that the Highlands Ranch school has John Irwin School of Excellence and Colorado Governor’s Distinguished Improvement awards, as well as some Apple Award-winning teachers. “How in the world did we have all of these awards if none of our teachers are highly effective?”

Craven, who spoke to Colorado Community Media during a conference call that also included DCSD spokeswoman Cinamon Watson, offered only positive com-

ments about the evaluations and the May 30 meeting.

“It was a great opportunity for our staff to connect with Dr. Fagen,” said Craven, principal of Saddle Ranch for almost a year.

The evaluations represent “a shift in teaching,” Craven said, away from giving information to facilitating learning. “With something like that, there’s always equilibrium.”

He believes that the feedback teachers are receiving, plus continued professional development, will improve the school overall.

“We’re going to lose some amazing teachers, but we’re gaining amazing teachers,” he said. “I’m very excited moving forward.”

Teacher Eric Farrell, who attended the May 30 meeting with Fagen and Larsen, also was excited — but in a very different way. Farrell, whose wife teaches at Saddle Ranch, walked out of the meeting before it ended because “I couldn’t stand the tap dancing,” he said.

“We are not honoring our teachers with their years (of service), their education,” he said, adding he believes younger, replacement teachers will use DCSD as a training ground, then move to districts offering higher salaries. “It’s going to become a revolving door.

“They’re destroying the district, absolutely destroying it.”

Larsen said salaries aren’t likely to drop.

If anything, market forces will drive them up. That means teachers who might be at the top of the pay scale today would see a bump in pay in coming years. He acknowledged that change has been rapid, but believes it eventually will reap dramatic rewards.

“We think doing these things is going to make it better for the kids to learn,” he said, but acknowledged: “This is in a lot of ways a lot of new territory. That is the challenge that a new system and the implementation of a new system does pose. We’re out doing our best.”

Garden brings community together Plots have thrived near Parker North since 1987

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com If Ed Shaw has his way, he’ll be gardening until he “kicks the bucket.”

Shaw is one of the many characters to put their roots down in the Parker Community Garden, a 42-plot spread at Longs Way and Brownstone Drive. After downsizing eight years ago from acreage property in the Oklahoma panhandle to an apartment in Parker, Shaw discovered the community garden and realized he had an opportunity to again put his green thumb to work.

The 73-year-old oversaw a flourishing 60-by-20-foot garden back in Oklahoma, and because of the climate and soil in Colorado, he is able to grow just as many vegetables in a 20-by-20-foot garden bed. He has a mental laundry list of techniques to help his plants thrive, including methods that separately utilize Clorox, banana peels and plastic wrap.

Even Valerie Holden, the self-described Parker Community Garden guardian, has picked up some pointers from the Oklahoma transplant and his wife, Bonnie, over the six

years they have rented a plot.

There is a cast of dedicated gardeners ranging in age from 12 to 82, Holden says. Each year, there is a waiting list to get into the low-cost community garden, and she begins soliciting requests as early as November. Some spend the summer tending to their crops and harvest vegetables like carrots throughout the winter.

Shaw grows tomatoes, different varieties of zucchini, squash, bell peppers, cucumbers and pole beans. Of course, he and Bonnie can’t eat a summer’s yield by themselves, so they give much of it to charitable organizations or friends or even passing seniors who happen to take a rest at a picnic table during a stroll through the neighborhood.

The Shaws also schedule frequent gatherings with friends in which everyone brings a side dish that includes freshpicked produce.

Holden, who has been coming every year since 1988, says the garden can be used as a teaching tool because people often don’t know where the food they consume comes from. Outside of that, it can be a good place for “wild stories” and “fellowship” with neighboring gardeners, Shaw said.

The garden has become such an important place for Shaw that he half-jokingly suggests that when he does pass on, he will request that his ashes be spread on his plot to fertilize the soil.

Watching the growth of Douglas County. I take pride in helping the communities grow by listing and selling homes in this beautiful area.

my wife, our two dogs, family and friends, flying & traveling.

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

It is a price war and a beauty contest. The market analysis helps you establish an appropriate listing price.

I also recommend using a Realtor who takes the security of your home seriously by using an electronic lock box.

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

Make sure you are paired with a good lender who can prequalify you with your buying potential. Also, use a Realtor who is available to help you act when you are shown your dream home.

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

A gentleman called saying my sign was in his yard. It had been placed there as a prank. Therefore, I asked if he wanted to sell his home — if he had been interested, what a way to get new clients!

How long have you worked in Real Estate?

Don’t be afraid to take an internship after graduation.

Many young people think internships are only valuable while they are in college. But an internship after you have graduated can be just as valuable, especially in an ultracompetitive job market like the one today’s graduates have found themselves in. Even if the internship won’t earn you a dime, it’s a chance to get your foot in the door and gain experience. Many companies are more inclined to consider past or current interns for full-time entry level positions than they are outside candidates. Don’t be afraid to expand your job search to internships even if you already earned a college degree. Such opportunities might just prove your best chance to get your foot in the door.

analyzing data on women between the ages of 21 and 30, Legal Momentum found that 30 percent had a bachelor’s degree, while just 23 percent of men in the same age bracket had a bachelor’s degree.

Indian artifacts exhibited

Brandebery helped found Douglas County Historical Society

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com More than 40 American Indian artifacts loaned by local educator, historian and rancher Kent Brandebery are exhibited at the Castle Rock Historical Museum, 420 Elbert St., through Aug. 1. Included are woven rugs from several tribes, baskets, a mano and metate, a musket, an umbilical amulet (beaded turtle), Indian Peace Medals and more.

Brandebery said this is the second display he has exhibited at the museum, from a collection started by his mother and father, which he has continued to expand through the years. (The first display was on the first saddle-maker in Douglas County.)

As a child, Brandebery lived in Sioux Country, Sundance, Wyo., and spent time on the Navajo and Cheyenne reservations while his mother taught there. His familiarity with American Indian arts and history has accumulated throughout a rich life.

Castle Rock has been his home since 1938, he said, but during World War II, his father and older half brother were in the service and he, his mother and sister lived in Littleton, near the cemetery, so the children could attend school there.

Brandebery remembers working at the historic Littleton Cemetery and playing his bugle in the Veterans Circle during a Memorial Day program. His Littleton ties continued later through involvement with the Littleton Historical Museum and its animals.

A woven basket with a deer design is in Kent Brandebery’s collection displayed at the Castle Rock History Museum.

After post-graduate work at the University of Wyoming, he had an internship at the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wyo., and taught at Sinte Gleska Sioux College. A connection with Richard Kahn, then curator of American Indian art at the Denver Art Museum, provided educational materials for his students.

Brandebery went on to become an instrumental music teacher in high school and later in elementary school, retiring in the 1990s and starting a Civil War-style brass band, the Castle Rock Band, which just performed a Memorial Day program.

(It needs more members, he says.)

He has been interested in local history since 1960 and helped found the Douglas

County Historical Society, which then split into a group of more local groups, including the Castle Rock Historical Society, which restored the 1875 rhyolite stone Denver and Rio Grande Depot for use as a historical museum in 1996.

Brandebery said his favorite artifacts are those from the Plains Indians — from Mexico to the Canadian border, “not from a special place.” This stems from his early Wyoming days.

He explains the inclusion of some pieces from the Tarahumara Indians from Copper Canyon in Mexico. “They are much like the early people of Mesa Verde,” he said. Someone abandoned a group of them in Denver in the late 1980s and he put them up on his ranch for a week or so until the Mexican government could work out a way to get them home. They gave Brandebery artifacts in thanks. At that time, he found a Larkspur resident who spoke the dialect to help with communications — another example of his community connections.

“All the things I do, I have to depend on the community — what goes around comes around,” Brandebery said. “I have an obligation …”

A Southern Cheyenne rug, musket and buffalo horn from Kent Brandebery’s collection are being exhibited.

Kent Brandebery’s collection will be exhibited until Aug. 1 at the Castle Rock Historical Museum, 420 Elbert St., Castle Rock. Hours: noon to 5 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays. 303-814-3164, email crmuseum@ comcast.net. Admission is free.

Esquire magazine loves Denver, or at least two of its bars. Esquire includes Williams & Graham in the Highland neighborhood and downtown’s Ship Tavern in the famed Brown Palace Hotel in its top 17 (really, 17?) list of best bars in the U.S. Esquire writes about Williams & Graham, a unique bar with a 1920s speakeasy feel: “Williams & Graham is a love letter to the old saloon, but one conceived by a third-generation bartender who knows the difference between playing bartender and really tending bar.” Esquire suggests ordering the Unrefined Ruffian at Williams & Graham.

has supported several liberal political efforts, but this was all about raising money for transplant participants.

“Our ‘50 for 50’ event designated every dollar raised to the American Transplant Foundation’s ‘Patient Assistance Program’ at Children’s Hospital,” Duffy said. “What this program does is give families — mostly from rural areas — assistance with basic living expenses (mortgage, rent, utilities, etc.) while their children are awaiting or recovering from transplant surgery, most often kidney or bone marrow transplants.

“I am on the board of the American Transplant Foundation — along with a ton of the really interesting folks in town — which was founded by Steve Farber, after he received a life-saving kidney donation from his son nine years ago. Farber was one of the first folks who befriended me and really gave me an introduction to Colorado when I came here in 2001 and I admire him and (his law partner) Norm Brownstein immensely.”

The bipartisan group of people you will be interested in who were there: Farber; Barry Hirschfeld; Dan Hopkins, former press secretary to Gov. Bill Owens (he and Duffy started with Owens on the same day in 2001); David Kenney, The Kenney Group (where Duffy works); Kelly Brough (CEO of the Metro

Hats from Dr. Seuss’ closet travel to Denver M Author, artist had unusual collection

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews. com In 1937, Theodor Seuss Geisel (1904-1991), known to millions as Dr. Seuss, was visited by his sister, Marnie, who reported that he had a peculiar hobby of collecting hats of every description and was thinking of using them as a foundation for his next book.

That book, his second of 44, was “The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins.”

Bartholomew’s red hat with a jaunty feather was inspired by a childhood hero — Robin Hood.

Characters in his subsequent books almost all sported distinctive hats as well.

“In the beginning, Bartholomew Cubbins didn’t have 500 hats. He had only one hat,” the story begins. Readers will recall how they multiplied each time he removed one.

In honor of the book’s 75th anniversary, a special “Hats Off to Dr. Seuss!” exhibition, approved by Geisel’s widow, Audrey Geisel, will include a selection from the be-

Canum, a prolific painter in watercolors, oils, pastels and acrylics, of landscapes, florals, still lifes and more, is invited to exhibit about 60 of her works in a show called “Martha Canum: Four Seasons” at the Denver Art Gallery, 2516 E.

WHAT: The 2013 Ducky Derby

By Rhonda Moore

WHEN: 11 a.m to 5 p.m. June 8

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com The ducks are ready to float for a chance to win big with local Rotary Clubs’ Ducky Derby.

The 2013 Ducky Derby is an all-day event, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 8 in downtown Castle Rock. Rotarians are aiming to push the record this year, as long as the weather delivers a ducky day.

“Weather always indicates how many folks show up,” said Kelly Marsh, Ducky Derby chairwoman. “With good weather we should see 4,000 people. That’s about the largest crowd we get when the weather is nice.”

The large crowds make for high ticket sales, Marsh said, with each ticket carrying a chance for a chance at the million-dollar duck.

If the first duck to cross the finish line is the one earmarked as the million-dollar duck, the ticketholder will walk away with $1 million, Marsh said.

The million-dollar duck has remained elusive in Ducky Derby’s 17-year history,

Five stages of entertainment feature a “Step Right up to Littleton’s Big Top” circus theme, with roving ringmaster Sam Adams.

Known for his clean comedy, Adams started his stand-up career at the age of 41 after a career as a sportswriter for the Rocky Mountain News.

The party is free to attend, and food tickets are 10 for $10. Purchase tickets prior to the event (at iN-Tea, Grandpa’s Attic, Tease, Willow — An Artisan’s Market, Charlotte’s Rustic Rose, Colorado Biz Bank, Reinke Brothers downtown, and Kosha Yoga in Woodlawn Shopping Center) and get a free drink ticket valued at $4 for every 10 tickets purchased.

tro, Jose’s, The Tavern Littleton, The Old Mill Brewery and Grill, The Castle, India’s Best, Romano’s, GiGi’s Cupcakes, Snow Business Snow Cones, Island Noodles, Granny Ma’s Catering, Anthony’s Pizza and Poppin’ Stuff.

After the second fireworks show, go home and rest to prepare for the next day’s main event: The Colorado Concours 30th Annual Exotic Sports Car Show and Concours d’Elegance, benefiting Cerebral Palsy of Colorado.

This year’s event celebrates Porsche as the featured marque. It’s the 65th anniversary of Porsche, the 60th anniversary of the first Porsche club and the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the Porsche 911 at the Frankfurt Auto Show. Two members of the local Porsche club, Stimson Kennedy and Tom Scott, founded the Concours event 30 years ago.

The Colorado Concours is a key fundraiser for Cerebral Palsy of Colorado’s Creative Options Centers for Early Education.

Funds that are raised will help four metroarea centers provide support and education services to expectant mothers and nearly 700 young children and their families annually.

Gates open at Arapahoe Community College at 9 a.m. June 9, and they close at 3 p.m. Admission is $10, kids younger than 12 are free. For more information, visit www. coloradoconcours.org.

ThunderRidge alum relishes NFL opportunity Jenkins signs free agent contract with St. Louis

he as iverf the

By Jim Benton rsary jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com t the f the Tim Jenkins has a job that many others and can only dream about. nt 30 Jenkins, the former ThunderRidge and Fort Lewis College quarterback, recently undsigned a rookie free agent contract with the CreNational Football League’s St. Louis Rams tion. and is currently studying the playbook, atetrotending meetings and participating in Oration ganized Training Activity workouts. early “I’m just learning from all the vets,” said s anJenkins. “I just listen a lot more than I talk. I just listen to what they have to say and kind unity of just follow along in their steps. It’s brand e at 3 new. I’m brand new having quarterback be an 12 my job as opposed to something I just did www. for school.”

Jenkins, a four-year starter at Fort Lewis in Durango who ranks high on many of the Skyhawks’ career passing charts, was invited to the Rams’ rookie minicamp May 1012 on a tryout basis and by his own admission played well.

“I’m the kind of guy that it’s hard for me to admit if I played well, but I think during the rookie mini camp I probably had like 10 incompletions through the whole thing,” said Jenkins. “So I played pretty well during the mini camp.”

Jenkins signed a three-year, $1.49 million contract May 13 and is one of four quarterbacks on the Rams’ roster.

Coach Jeff Fisher has stated that Sam Bradford is No. 1 and Austin Davis is the backup. So it is likely that Jenkins will be competing with ex-Oregon quarterback Kellen Clemens, who is entering his ninth season, for the No. 3 position. The practice squad would be another possibility for the 2008 ThunderRidge graduate.

“It’s definitely a dream come true,” said Jenkins. “I found out the day before Mother’s Day that I was going to be signing a contract. I called my mom and told her that. I think that was a pretty good Mother’s Day gift.

“It is something you think about but it’s hard because you feel like you are in such a whirlwind.”

Jenkins, 22, isn’t getting a lot of reps but has been told that he is looking better.

“I was talking to the strength coach (Rock Gullickson) and he was saying how much better I’m looking each day,” said Jenkins.

“I’ll get a couple reps here and there.

The NFL is pretty crazy. Pretty much the ones (starters) take practice the whole day.

The thing that coach Fisher does that is pretty cool is we’ll have the OTAs and I’ll get as many reps essentially as the twos and threes. Then when all the vets go in we’ll have a rookie period where we just do rookie seven-on-seven or rookie one-on-ones. I get all the reps during that time.

“I have nothing to lose. I go out every day and when we are stretching I try to take a minute to cherish the opportunity, really soak in all the memories because I know it’s not here forever.”

Jenkins believes the biggest adjustment coming from college into the NFL is mental.

“I think for a quarterback, a lot of it stays the same just because obviously it’s faster, but throwing an out is still throwing an out,” he said.

‘I try to take a minute to cherish the opportunity, really soak in all the memories because I know it’s not here forever.’

Tim Jenkins “For a quarterback a lot of the physical side is the same, but the mental side of it is different. I mean some of our plays are 18word sentences. The terminology is different.”

Jenkins, who has been targeted by the veterans for rookie initiation, says the amenities of playing in the NFL are unlike NCAA Division II Fort Lewis and the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

“From stepping into the locker room, having wooden lockers, all the Gatorade you can drink, cleats, shoes, gear and all the food you can eat, it’s night and day from Fort Lewis,” said Jenkins. “You can’t go hun-

gry or thirsty walking around in the NFL.” Jenkins has a realistic outlook on his football future.

“When I got the opportunity for football to be my job, all you want to do is take advantage of it,” he said.

“The NFL is not a permanent career, it’s just a couple years, so you have to take advantage of it while you can. All you can do is go out and leave everything on the field because ultimately if you hang around the NFL isn’t your choice. It’s up to other people and if they think you can play on their team then they want you and if not, they let you go.

“From everything my agent said, the next four or five years of my life will be playing football somewhere, whether it’s in the NFL or Canadian Football League. I’ll make a little bit of money playing football, then I think what I’ll end up doing is becoming a teacher and a coach. So many of those coaches like coach (Joe) Johnson and coach (Jon) Ackerman at ThunderRidge played a huge role developing the kind of guy I became.”

Jenkins’ career path included only one full season at ThunderRidge.

He broke his collarbone during the Grizzlies’ first practice his junior season and when he came back he dislocated his hip.

“Tim was a good runner and easily the best passer and reader of defenses and decision maker in the passing game that I’ve coached,” said Johnson, ThunderRidge’s head coach. “And we’ve had some good kids.

“He just had a nightmarish junior year and that’s a very important year to get recognized. He really didn’t play at all for us because of some injuries. He was awesome for us as a senior.”

The program that teaches golf fundamentals got underway June 3. The first day was at the recreation center, where each golfer was issued items including a hat, gloves, tees and other golf equipment.

The second day of the program was on the miniature golf courses at Colorado Journey. Then the scene switched to Broken Tee, where each golfer will attend five onehour group lessons. The program wraps up with a celebration June 19 that includes a barbecue and fun golf-related contests.

Lori Douglas and her sons visited the driving range a few days ahead of the start of the

program is introducing a new way to teach golf to kids.

“Every sport uses a teaching system before moving on to the equipment the athlete will use,” he said.

“This new system uses plastic clubs to help teach grip and swing. Then we go to regular clubs a couple lessons into the program. It is sort of like T-ball to teach basics of handling a bat in baseball.”

To make the program more fun and more valuable, a 7-year-old who has attended the program for the last two years can move up to take part in the 8- to 15-year-old classes.

There is a separate class for 12- to 15-year-olds that is recommended for veterans of the program. This group will also take part in course play the final lesson of the program.

The festival, which features a Sunday afternoon children’s race, as well as a 24-hour race that spanned May 31-June 1 on an 8.2-mile course at Greenland Open Space, also boasts rides of eight, 27, 32, 62 and 100 miles starting and finishing at the Douglas County Fairgrounds throughout the day June 2.

Many people use the longer rides as training for bigger races such as Ride the Rockies and various Iron Man competitions, said Pat Smith, Elephant Rock spokeswoman, adding that the shorter rides are great ways to boost the confidence of beginning and younger riders to get them on the courses and help them build to longer rides.
