Sheriff clarifies stance on gun laws Robinson won’t proactively enforce new state statutes By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson took advantage of a meeting of the Western Arapahoe Republican Forum on April 20 to clarify his stance on gun control, which he feels was misrepresented after he released an open letter on the subject.

“We will not enforce the background check and the high-capacity magazine ban proactively. … But I won’t tell you that I am not going to enforce these laws,” he told the group, referring to recently passed state laws. Robinson His position that lawenforcement officers don’t write the law but swear an oath to uphold it was taken by some to mean he was soft on

the Second Amendment. “Public safety professionals serving in the executive branch do not have the constitutional authority, responsibility and, in most cases, the credentials to determine the constitutionality of any issue,” Robinson wrote. If law-enforcement officers stopped enforcing laws they don’t like, it could set a dangerous precedent if juries followed suit, he said. “Rhetoric can impact the criminal-justice system,” he said.

Robinson will address what he feels are problems with the new laws through lobbying and legal means, and he announced April 22 that he will sign on to a lawsuit initiated by a group of sheriffs to get the laws overturned. He also plans to help write a bill for next year that would clarify the new laws. “To a degree, I support background checks for private sales,” he said, but he believes the new Colorado law goes too far by requiring them for transfers among family Robinson continues on Page 9

An April 22 storm plastered many parts of the city with heavy, wet snow, keeping snowplow drivers busy and morning commutes hectic. However, by mid-afternoon April 23, much of the white stuff was gone and warmer temperatures blurred the line between snowball season and baseball season.

“The recovery has not happened yet in Arapahoe County.” That’s the news Corbin Sakdol, Arapahoe County assessor, gave officials from throughout the 348 taxing entities in the county on April 18. Having just finished reassessing property values, he has a pretty good handle on the situation. Although sales are up in most places, values of the 150,000 single-family homes in the county are generally down but with a few bright spots. Centennial and Greenwood Village are up. Aurora, Sheridan and Englewood are down, and Littleton is split. “Ridge Road is still quite the dividing line,” he said. Homes south of Ridge Road are mostly maintaining or climbing, while the north Sakdol isn’t in such great shape. Sakdol says condominium values are way down across the board, but office buildings and commercial properties are up. Foreclosures are down from the peak in 2008. “It’s happening, but it’s not near as bad,” he said. “Things are much better, but they’re still not good.” One reason there’s discrepancy between rising sales and falling values is that Colorado law requires Sakdol to use 2-year-old sales data to determine current taxable value. The tax bill property owners will be getting in the mail starting May 1 reflects sales that occurred between July 1, 2010, and June 30, 2012. So as home prices started crashing during the housing bubble of August 2008, property taxes reflected July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007. Conversely, as sales are now beginning to increase, taxable values remain low. Those 348 taxing entities can significantly impact property owners’ tax bills, as well. Similar homes in similar neighborhoods might be valued about the same and still have vastly different property-tax bills. It depends on voter-approved mill levies collected by the school district or water entity, for example. Values continues on Page 9

Democracy makes for a long, tiring slog There’s an episode of “The Simpsons” where Homer ends up wandering through a desert in the middle of a hot-chile-pepper-induced hallucination. Homer, confused by his surroundings and the seemingly endless landscape around him, comes across a tortoise that’s leaving a message behind it in the sand as it walks that reads: Follow the tortoise. Homer does so, before becoming frustrated by the tortoise’s tortoise-like pace. He then gives the reptile a gentle kick in its rear in hopes of getting it to move faster. “Get moving you stupid ...,” Homer says. “When I’m kicking you that means hurry up!” Homer ends up losing his patience and boots the tortoise across the desert. As a reporter who covers the Colorado General Assembly every day, I can relate to Homer’s anguish. This year’s legislative session may be winding down, but as each day passes, it just feels like I’m following a slow-moving tortoise clumsily through the sand. It’s been controversial bill after controversial bill this session. And debate over each one seems to go on and on and on .... But I guess I do take solace in knowing my exhaustion is not unique. Lawmakers are feeling the pain, too. And they’re doing their best to get through the long days. “I’m still trying to figure out if I came just in time or at a horribly wrong time,” quipped freshman Rep. Dominick Moreno,

D-Commerce City. “The jury is still out on that one.” Moreno said he barely has time to check in with his loved ones anymore. “I get phone calls from my family saying, `Hey, we haven’t seen you in a couple of weeks. Just wondering if everything is OK,’” he said. “That’s funny because I live a block away from my parents.” Seasoned lawmakers like Rep. Amy Stephens, R-Monument, a former House majority leader, said the key to getting through this session is working out whenever she can, gobbling antioxidants, and avoiding unnecessary nights on the town. “Some people, they’re out every night, and they can get up and go to work every day,” she said. “And I marvel and just go, `OK, more props to you.’ That’s not me. You learn over time how to pace yourself, (and understand) what you can and can’t do.” The grind affects people differently. For instance, freshman Democratic Rep. Steve

Lebsock of Thornton said he “feels good” right now, but admits to having gained about 15 pounds since the start of the session. Meanwhile, Rep. Brittany Pettersen, a freshman Democrat from Lakewood, made it sound like the long days are no big deal. “I’m surprised to hear that it’s not usually like this,” she said, adding that, compared to her previous jobs in politics, “this is the most time off I’ve ever had in my life.” Another thing I’ve noticed during my conversations with lawmakers about the jammed calendar is that Democrats’ moods seems to be a heck of a lot better than Republicans. The Dems are in charge, and their brutal bill schedule of controversial gun-control, education and elections legislation is leaving Republicans tired and frustrated. “This is the worst I’ve ever seen,” said Rep. Carole Murray, R-Castle Rock, of Democrats’ efforts of non-stop legislative action. “There’s so many important bills being crammed through a single session. I just don’t get the point. I mean, it’s not very smart. It ends up (that) we’re not passing very good laws. It’s all about a particular party’s agenda, rather than the people’s work.” Stephens shares in Murray’s angst. “I have never seen such an overreach,” she said. “We’re talking wholesale changes. Not just one or two, we’re talking bill after

bill (of 50- to 100-page legislation). It’s no wonder we’re exhausted. “It’s really poor management of the calendar.” Hand it to Stephens, though. Because she was honest when I asked her if her party would do the same thing, if the roles were reversed. “You bet,” she said. “If we had all three chambers, I’d be undoing all this (stuff). He who wins gets to decide the rules. Having been the majority leader, I get it.” So, do Democrats believe that their work will be rewarded in 2014? “You may not agree with everything we’re doing, but you can’t say we’re not doing anything,” Moreno said. “These are the types of policies and laws that the people of Colorado have been waiting for, for a long time.” I fully expect that the remaining days of the session are going to be long and that there’s going to be more than a few times when I’ll want to pull a Homer and find a tortoise to kick around. But, I suppose this year’s session is just an example of democracy in action. As Homer might say, “Lousy, stupid democracy.” Vic Vela is the legislative reporter for Colorado Community Media.

By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com Colorado State Treasurer Walker Stapleton says the state’s public employee retirement program doesn’t have a partisan problem. It has a math problem — a math problem, he says, that taxpayers might be solving with their wallets. Stapleton spoke to attendees at an April 20 town hall meeting hosted by Rep. Spencer Swalm, R-Centennial, at the Koelbel Library. Stapleton said PERA — the Public Employees’ Retirement Association — is not “fiscally sound” and that changes are needed immediately. “PERA is not structurally sound, and we’re all on the on the hook should the system fail,” said the fiscally conservative Republican. “General Motors and United Airlines both went bankrupt. There’s no Chapter 11 for public pension plans — taxpayers will have to cover the bill.” According to Stapleton, two issues bug him the most, the first being the guaranteed 8 percent assumed rate of return upon which PERA is hoping to fund current and future retirements. “In the real world, you won’t find anyone who’ll guarantee investors an 8 percent rate of return today,” he said. “I doubt you’d even find a 7 percent rate of return, maybe something closer to 6.5.” While Stapleton admits PERA’s promised 8 percent rate of return for the next 30 years is attractive, he said the problem occurs when returns are less. “The state’s pension system has promised its members a result that is based on unrealistic returns,” he said. “As long as PERA continues chasing a higher rate of return, the more they’ll have to rely on high-

State Treasurer Walker Stapleton says the state’s retirement fund has more of a math problem than it does a partisan problem. Stapleton spoke at a town hall meeting hosted by state Rep.

Photo by Deborah Grigsby er-risk investments.” “With the comprehensive reforms in SB 10-001, PERA’s unfunded liabilities are projected to be paid off in approximately 30 years,” Katie Kaufmanis, a PERA spokeswoman, wrote in an email. “Even at a lower assumed rate of return of 6.5 percent, PERA will be fully funded, it will just take longer.” PERA currently has an unfunded liability of $25 billion. The second issue that keeps him up at night, said Stapleton, is SB 13-213, the pending legislation that seeks to overhaul how Colorado finances public education. Introduced by Sen. Mike Johnston, DDenver, the bill comes with a price tag of approximately $1 billion.

But Stapleton says voters are not getting the whole picture and that PERA reform should be tied to this, and any, legislation that seeks additional revenue for education, suggesting the two are inextricably linked. “What I don’t want this to be is a baitand-switch kind of deal,” he said. “I think that if we are going to ask people to invest in better education, then that money should be going into the classroom and not cover unfunded pension liabilities.” Stapleton said he wants a guarantee as to how the money will be used. He said passing the bill would “do nothing more than to continue to pour money down a black hole to fund an unsustainable retirement system.”

Educators aim to build skills for future Challenges abound in preparing for unknown jobs

‘These kids have never known anything that wasn’t the 21st century, and they’ve also never known a world without technology.’

By Deborah Grigsby

Elizabeth Fagen, Douglas County School District superintendent

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com

If Colorado wants a place in the growing global economy, then its education system must deliver the skills 10:13 PM needed for students to succeed as 21st-century citizens. The problem, according to a threedistrict panel of educators hosted by the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce on April 19, is that local schools are trying to ready kids for jobs that are yet to exist. “The reality is, our students will compete with students from around the world for the most sought-after opportunities and that’s something of a newer thing in education,” explained Elizabeth Fagen, Douglas County Schools superintendent. “It’s definitely different than when we started back in the industrial revolution.” Along with the economy, Fagen said the kids, themselves, are different. “These kids have never known anything that wasn’t the 21st century, and they’ve also never known a world without technology,” she said. Along with Scott Murphy, Littleton superintendent of schools, and

Eric Flor, assistant superintendent for Cherry Creek Schools, Fagen offered an overview of how schools hope to engage business and industry as future partners. Strong partnerships between schools and business innovators may be the key to developing a winning curriculum — a curriculum that’s rich in technology, collaboration, creativity and shared economic success. “It’s not about bricks and mortar,” said Flor. “It’s about what experiences are children getting — starting in kindergarten all the way through — that prepare them to be engineers, or whatever it is they want to be.” Panel moderator Lisa D’Ambrosia said education has long been one of the chamber’s prime initiatives. She sees a strong connection between academia and the coming economy. Schools are now looking to the business community and asking it to help define what the future workforce should look like.

So, what it is kids need to know to be successful in their lifetime? “We can’t even predict all the jobs that will exist when they graduate, but we can predict the kind of skills they’ll need to be successful, no matter what those jobs are,” said Fagen. And the Douglas County School District has been reaching out to some of the biggest names on the planet. “Nike, for example, wants people who `obliterate’ boundaries, are risktakers, are smart, passionate curious people, rebels, original thinking,” Fagen said. “So just as the industrial revolution paid attention to what it was the assembly-line mode needed, we want to pay attention to what our business partners want in our students.” “We have a vested interest in education with relationship to the business community,” D’Ambrosia said. “It’s one of the driving forces for bringing jobs here to the south metro Denver area.”

Homicide victim remembered Legislation seeks to Kuroki had ‘We want to honor her by trying to prune HOA powers infectious laughter, live our lives with the kind, gentle and ‘questionable’ poker skills

By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews. com Mae Kuroki loved to sew, crochet and knit. Throughout her 81 years, she crafted hundreds of caps for homeless people, wool caps for soldiers serving in Afghanistan and blankets for elderly patients. But it would be her infectious smile and positive outlook, even in the darkest of times, that would become Kuroki the common thread friends and family remember most. Kuroki, who was killed April 2 in her Centennial home, was remembered at a memorial service at Drinkwine Family Mortuary in Littleton. She was born June 1, 1931, in Rock Springs, Wyo., to Teizo and Tatsuyo Inouye. Her father worked for the railroad, but by the time World War II started, her family would eventually be forced off

government land because of their Japanese heritage. The family settled in Brighton, Colo. “Today is to be a celebration of our mother’s life,” said Kuroki’s oldest son, Gary. “And we want to honor her by trying to live our lives with the kind, gentle and generous spirit she shared with us.” Others went on to describe a woman who had an infectious smile, greeted others with a wave of her signature black cane and had “questionable” poker skills. Kuroki loved living in Colorado and was an avid Broncos fan. In accordance with her wishes, her ashes will be scattered in the mountains. According to a statement from the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, Kuroki’s younger son, David, has been named as a suspect in her death. Sheriff’s deputies were called to her residence in the 8600 block of Dry Creek Road

around 11 a.m. April 2 for a welfare check, according to Arapahoe County Undersheriff David Walcher. When authorities arrived, they found Kuroki’s body. The younger Kuroki was taken into custody hours after his mother’s body was found. “He was transported to a local hospital and is being treated for self-inflicted injuries,” Walcher said. “We’re anxious to get on with the case, but given the circumstances, we’re in a holding pattern.” David Kuroki has not been booked or charged yet, he added. In lieu of flowers or koden, (monetary contributions), the family has asked that donations be directed to the Victim Assistance Program, Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, 1310 East Broncos Parkway, Centennial, CO 80112, Attention: Kathleen Beebe. This program provides resources and support to victims of crimes.

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com As the legislative season draws to a close, lawmakers are mulling over two bills that would limit the ability of many Colorado homeowners associations to foreclose on properties over delinquent fees, as well as require community managers to be professionally credentialed. Molly Foley-Healy, chair of the Colorado Legislative Action Committee, says HB 1176 would provide homeowners who have become delinquent in their HOA dues a one-time opportunity to enter into a six-month payment plan before the association could take other action to collect the debt. “It’s important to remember that HOAs are nonprofit organizations,” said Westwind Property Association Business Manager Jessica Hanson. “We’re not out there to make money off the hard times of others. Any way we can work with people to get them caught up on their dues is good for the whole community.” The bill would also require what would equal six months of past due assessments be accrued before an association or third party could foreclose on the association’s lien. “Foreclosure should only be used as a last resort,” explained FoleyHealy, who is also an attorney practicing general community association and real estate law. “It all sounds good, like they have my best intrest at heart, but I’m not not really convinced,” said Angelica

Adams, who owns a Centennial townhome. “For me to be that far behind would be something like $2,000. I see my HOA dropping by to serve papers, not dropping by to hold my hand and try to help me stay in my unit.” On the other hand, HB 1277 would require community association managers and management companies to be licensed, a move that Foley-Healy thinks could actually help build better relationships between HOAs and residents. She said, currently, the industry has a wide variety of skill levels among its managers and should the bill pass, association management professionals would be required to hold the Certified Manager of Community Associations designation as a mininimum. “Some associations’ managers have experience and credentials, and some do not,” said Foley-Healy. “Some just fell into the position and this is a way to make sure there is a basic level of compentency.” Hanson, who already holds the CMCA certification, said the credentialing process will also help keep HOA costs down. Better educated managers can better resolve issues and advise their client HOA boards, she said. “It’s ususally the homeowners that wind up paying for lawsuits and settlements,” said Hanson. “Higher professional standards may help advert this.” Hanson estimated those association managers looking to obtain initial certification should expect to invest close to $1,000. According to the Colorado Division of Real Estate, there are approximately 12,000 HOAs in Colorado, more than 60,000 homeowners elected to serve on the boards which govern their associations, and close to 2 million people who live in HOA communities.

Firefighter labor bill heads back to Senate House amendments may not be enough to stave off veto By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A bill that seeks to expand labor rights for firefighters has passed the Colorado House, and has headed back to the Senate — where it passed earlier — for approval of amendments. But the ultimate question is whether the amendments will be enough to please Gov. John Hickenlooper, who threatened to veto the bill earlier this session. Senate Bill 25 passed the House on April 19, following a party-line vote of 35-28. Democratic Rep. Claire Levy of Boulder joined all Republicans in opposing the bill. The current version of the bill — which was amended after Hickenlooper expressed concerns in February — would allow firefighters across the state to be able to have discussions on job safety issues, regardless of whether municipalities prohibit collective bargaining. That’s a change from the original bill

that passed the Senate earlier this legislative session, which would have guaranteed bargaining rights on compensatory matters, such as salary. The bill also requires any county or municipality to put labor rights issues Conti on the ballot, so long as an employee group receives approval from 75 percent of its workers to form a union that seeks collective bargaining rights on matters such as salary. The bill’s sponsors argue that the legislation does not mandate collective bargaining. They say the bill prohibits strikes and provides a ballot process for local control. Republicans argue that the bill usurps the authority of local governments to make bargaining rights decisions on their own. “It’s an overreach of power,” said Rep. Kathleen Conti, R-Littleton. “If you’re a city out there and you have a moratorium against collective bargaining, guess what? You won’t after this bill passes.” Rep. Ray Scott, R-Grand Junction, said the bill is “designed to promote unions.” “This is not a public safety bill. This is a union bill. Plain and simple,” Scott said.

‘What are we afraid of here? Are we afraid of the professionals we hire to come and have a chance to say what it is they think will make their jobs better?’ Rep. Cherylin Peniston, D-Westminster But Democrats say the bill does not take away local control, and that voters in those areas simply will have a chance to determine what is best for their communities. And they argue that firefighters should be able to negotiate matters pertaining to their own safety. “What are we afraid of here?” said Rep. Cherylin Peniston, D-Westminster. “Are we afraid of the professionals we hire to come and have a chance to say what it is they think will make their jobs better?” The bill also allows firefighters to participate more openly in the political process, which are either limited or prohibited by some municipalities. “Off duty and out of uniform, they are denied the right to participate in the politi-

cal process,” said Rep. Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City. “You can’t even put a yard sign in your front yard for your favorite candidate. That’s not fair.” Democratic Sen. Lois Tochtrop of Thornton, the bill’s Senate sponsor, told Colorado Community Media that she doesn’t know whether Hickenlooper will sign her bill. But she believes that the current version is a good piece of legislation. “There’s been a lot of negotiations going on and we think this is one that will suit many people’s needs,” she said. “This bill concerns safety and this is going to go a long way to helping firefighters, so that they have a place at the table when it comes to safety issues.”

Lone Tree woman calls Stoned-driving limit stumbles Bill killed, but Republican bombing ‘terrifying’ plans to try amendment Marathon runner describes chaos following explosions in Boston

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Lone Tree resident Hannah Bailey was waiting in a Boston Marathon medical tent for treatment for a runner’s injury when the bombs detonated. Bailey, 37, a stay-at-home mother, had crossed the finish line at the Boston Marathon at 2:09 p.m. April 15. The bombs exploded seconds apart at 2:49 p.m. “I was lying there on the cot when I heard the first explosion go off,” Bailey said. “Very quickly after that, I heard the doctor say, `We need to get these people up and out of here. We’ve got people coming in.’ “They very quickly discharged me. As soon as I walked out of the medics’ tent, first responders were trying to get by. It was just mass chaos.” Three people were killed and hundreds were injured in the dual blasts. But standing outside the tent, Bailey didn’t know any of that yet. “I knew something had happened but didn’t quite understand what it was until I heard somebody on their cell phone saying, `Explosion. Don’t come to Boston.’ “As soon as I knew something had gone wrong, I felt absolute panic and fear because I didn’t know where my family was,” she said. That wasn’t an easy task. Bailey’s bag, including her cell phone, was a city block away. She couldn’t call her husband Nick and best friend Melissa, both of whom were in Boston. “People were running everywhere,” she said. “It was very difficult to find my family because of the chaos. I was just praying they would be OK.” She found them, safe and sound, about half an hour later. Though Bailey didn’t witness the hor-

A Senate panel on April 22 killed legislation that attempted to set a blood standard for being too stoned to drive. But lawmakers may still have an opportunity to put a driving-stoned limit on the books this legislative session. House Minority Leader Mark Waller, RColorado Springs, told Colorado Community Media that the House will still try to get a standard through that deals with driving while under the influence of marijuana. That effort will come in the form of an amendment to one of the bills dealing with the regulation of Report Amendment 64. “It will fit into one of those bills,” Waller said. “The best way to do it would have been through legislation.” But that route is not possible now, after the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 4-1 against moving House Bill 1114 forward, a bill that Waller sponsored in the House. The bill would have limited drivers to five nanograms per milliliter of blood for THC, marijuana’s psychoactive ingredient. But committee members expressed a number of concerns, such as that the law might unfairly affect medical marijuana patients and whether the standard would lead to police enforcement issues over blood sampling. “I take it very seriously for people to drive impaired,” said Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, who voted against the bill. “I also take it very seriously for the government to prosecute people who aren’t impaired.”

Capitol

Hannah Bailey, of Lone Tree, had finished the Boston Marathon and was receiving treatment for a runner’s injury when a bomb attack created chaos. Courtesy photo rific injuries many victims suffered, she described the experience as “very terrifying.” Like most of the thousands who run in the world’s oldest annual marathon, participating in the event was her long-held dream. “When I started running 2½ years ago, all I wanted to do was run Boston,” she said. “I thought it would be so neat to one day be able to qualify. “In the end, it didn’t quite end up exactly as I thought.” Boston was her eighth marathon. It will not be her last. “I am not deterred at all,” she said. “There are evil people in this world, and it’s too bad that has to exist, but we have to live, and we have to live by faith.”

Sen. Steve King, R-Grand Junction, the bill’s senate sponsor, was the only committee member to vote for the legislation. The bill had momentum going into the committee hearing. For starters, this year’s bill would have set a less stricter stoneddriving standard than in year’s past. And it breezed through the House on a 57-6 vote. “We didn’t see this coming at all,” Waller said of the bill’s demise in committee. “After talking with Senate leadership, I was under the impression it would pass.” The House minority leader said he was “incredibly disappointed” that the legislation did not pass, especially since the bill had been “watered-down in such a way to make it more palatable for everyone involved.” Now the plan is for the stoned-driving standard to be included in one of the omnibus bills that deal the regulation of Amendment 64 — the voter-approved measure that legalizes recreational marijuana use in Colorado. The legislature must pass Amendment 64 regulations this session, or it will be up to the Department of Revenue to put its own rules in place. Waller said the Amendment 64 Task Force would have dealt with this issue originally, but it was determined that the standard was better dealt with through its own legislation. The first committee hearing dealing with one of the Amendment 64 bills is scheduled for April 24. Waller did not know which bill the stoned-driving amendment would be tacked on to, but said that it wouldn’t be difficult for it to be worked on in a day, in time for that hearing. Waller also said that if an amendment does get through the House, and that if it is somehow stripped during the legislative process, that he “is confident that a senator would be willing to bring (an amendment to the bill in that chamber).” If a stoned-driving standard does not prevail through an amendment, it would mark the fourth time that an effort of its kind has failed in the General Assembly.

Bill would broaden discrimination law Republicans oppose plan as possible job-killer By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A bill that would broaden damage awards available to Colorado employees who sue over discrimination in the workplace is making its way through the state Legislature. But while Democrats are hailing House Bill 1136 as a victory for employee protection, Republicans are blasting the legislation as a job-killing bill that creates a boon for trial lawyers. The bill passed the House on April 19 on a 35-28 vote, following debate that lasted several hours over two voting days. All Republicans voted against the legislation, with Democratic Rep. Mike McLauchlan of Durango joining them in opposition. The “Job Protection and Civil Rights Employment Act of 2013” particularly would affect small businesses that have workforces of 14 or fewer people. Under the bill, employees at companies of all sizes could collect punitive and compensatory damages in state court, as well as recoup legal fees in civil rights cases. Right now, employees at small-sized businesses are only afforded remedies that allow them to be “made whole” following successful discrimination lawsuits, such as earning back pay, or getting their jobs back. Republicans mocked the bill’s intent, even at one time offering an amendment to re-title the bill the “Trial Lawyer Employment Act of 2013,” arguing that the bill will end up filling the pockets of lawyers who take these kind of cases to court. Republicans also called the legislation an “anti-jobs bill” that could lead to devastating effects on small businesses that are forced to pay out thousands of dol-

‘It’s the difference between being in business and being out of business.’ House Minority Leader Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs lars in punitive damages. “It’s the difference between being in business and being out of business,” said House Minority Leader Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs, during an April 17 House floor debate. Republicans also said that the bill is unnecessary, arguing that Colorado discrimination lawsuits are rare and that the legislation just begs for more frivolous lawsuits to end up in court. “Punitive damages are just a way to pile on a situation where there are other remedies in place,” said Rep. Polly Lawrence, R-Littleton. But bill co-sponsor Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, said courts always have discretion in these matters and that employees need greater protection than what current law allows. “It’s not like courts are going to be handing out meal tickets on every single case,” he said. “This isn’t an anti-jobs bill. It’s a preservation of jobs bill.” Democrats amended the bill to cap damages at $25,000 per case for small businesses that have between five and 14 employees, and $10,000 for companies with fewer than five workers. Republican efforts to amend the bill to prevent the legislation from affecting companies with 10 or fewer employees were unsuccessful. The bill now heads to the Senate.

Year’s last gun-control measure passes House Republicans oppose bill focused on domestic-violence offenders By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com The final pieces of the Democrat-sponsored gun-control package passed the House on April 22. Senate Bill 197, which restricts domesticviolence offenders from having access to firearms, passed on a 36-28 vote. Democratic Rep. Ed Vigil of Fort Garland joined all Republicans in voting against the legislation. Federal law already prohibits domestic abusers already from having access to guns. The bill puts in place a system by which the state courts ensure that the offenders — who either are convicted of domestic violence or who have been served a restraining order — relinquish their weapons. The bill received some debate on the House floor prior to a preliminary vote on April 20. However, it wasn’t nearly the type of emotional scene that has surrounded this and other gun bills during the legislative session. The bill did not receive debate before the final vote on April 22. The bill must go back to the Senate for another vote, because of a minor amendment

that was added in the House. Senate Bill 197 is sponsored in the Senate by Sen. Evie Hudak of Westminster, and in the House by Reps. Beth McCann of Denver and Rhonda Fields of Aurora. The only gun bill to receive any Republican votes this session is Senate Bill 195, which by far has been the least controversial and least debated bill of the firearms-related pieces of legislation. The bill, which requires there be at least some in-person training for gun permit seekers, passed the House with no debate on April 22, following a 40-24 vote. Republican Reps. Cheri Gerou of Evergreen, Bob Gardner of Colorado Springs and Kathleen Conti of Littleton voted for the bill. Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, was excused from taking part in the votes. Sen. Lois Tochtrop of Thornton and Rep. Jenise May of Aurora were the sponsors of Senate Bill 195. The bill now heads to Gov. John Hickenlooper, who is expected to sign the legislation. Hickenlooper already has put his signature on three other pieces of gun-control legislation this session: Bills that would create universal background checks on gun sales, would require people to pay for their own background checks, and would put in place limits on ammunition magazines.

opinions / yours and ours

Keep jobs at home, businesses at ease The Keep Jobs in Colorado Act appears to have considerable support as it passed the House Monday at the Statehouse. We appreciate suggested improvements touted by the act, House Bill 1292, co-sponsored by state Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, but give pause to some of its measures long-term. We agree with Kerr that changes are needed in penalties for companies that do not meet a threshold of requiring 80 percent of all taxpayer-backed state project labor be conducted by Colorado workers. Kerr noted the 80 percent requirement has been on the books since 1933 but a jail penalty for non-complying company owners has not been enforced. We agree virtually every law should have teeth, so it makes sense to amend the law by replacing jail time with civil fees for violations and retooling the compliance process. The Keep Jobs in Colorado Act also aims

our view

to: • Clamp down on outsourcing of jobs overseas in state contracts with beefed up disclosures on state contractors who use second-party vendors; • Provide stricter enforcement of out-ofstate bid preferences to make sure Colorado companies have all legal advantages available; • Expand the so-called “best value” metrics related to in-state employment and domestically produced materials for contracts that are not co-mingled with federal funds;

question of the week

What are you looking forward to this summer? With Memorial Day only a month away, we asked people at a Highlands Ranch coffee

shop what they are looking forward to the most this summer.

“Selling houses, helping people meet their fitness goals, warmer weather. This (cold weather) is ridiculous.” — Leslie Rogers Peckham, Highlands Ranch

“Having cookouts at the park. And the warmer weather.” — Becky Nazzaro, Lone Tree

“Getting outside to do a lot of my workouts. I run the steps at Red Rocks a lot and I love it. I’m also looking forward to opening my pool.” — Brian Peters, Highlands Ranch

“Swimming in Brian Peters’ pool. And outdoor volleyball. I love everything about summer. I travel a lot, so whenever I come back to Colorado I just feel the air and say ‘aaahhh.’“ — Brian Richter, Highlands Ranch

Wanting to watch a train wreck If Madame Defarge were living in the southwest United States today, where would she be and what would she be doing? Be specific. I want the name of the city and the building, and exactly what she was doing with her hands. Here is a big hint: The last time we saw Madame Defarge she was a tricoteuse. That practically gives it away. Think it over. Some of us like to polka. Some of us like to bowl, shop for shoes, or breed cockatiels. And some of us like to knit. Madame Defarge liked to knit. There’s the giveaway. Madame Defarge would be knitting in the Maricopa County Superior Court Building in Phoenix, and attending the death penalty trial in the case of Arizona vs. Jodi Arias. Defarge was considered the main villain of Charles Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities.” As a tricoteuse, or knitting woman, she secretly encoded the names of people to be killed during the French Revolution. I thought of Defarge when I heard that a woman drove six hours just to see the trial. Why? To see a melodrama in person? To be on television? Or maybe to see someone sentenced to death? I can understand why someone might have a peripheral interest in a case like this one, or the Trials of the Century that have preceded it. Leopold and Loeb. Bruno Hauptmann. The Rosenbergs. O.J. And more recently, Casey Anthony. I catch up on these cases, but not hour after hour. There’s a channel that is covering the Arias trial all day long. One Arias juror was dismissed, and she came back to sit in the courtroom. The Hauptmann trial was a pip. A circus, really. Hauptmann was accused, convicted, and executed for kidnapping and murdering Charles Lindbergh’s 20-monthold son. People mobbed the courtroom. Some climbed in through windows. Maybe none of us wants to be in a train wreck, but apparently a lot of us want to see one. I don’t get it. And if I had to

listen to the prosecuting attorney in the Arias case for more than a minute or two at a time, I think I might want to get into Thelma and Louise’s back seat just before they went to the worm restaurant. The closing defense argument in the case of Leopold and Loeb might have been worth hearing in person. Clarence Darrow said, about Loeb, “This terrible crime was inherent in his organism, and it came from some ancestor. Is any blame attached because somebody took Nietzsche’s philosophy seriously and fashioned his life upon it? It is hardly fair to hang a 19-year-old boy for the philosophy that was taught him at the university.” I am sure that Darrow had a rough idea beforehand what he was going to say, but I doubt that he read that from a script. To be able to speak with such clarity on the spot would have made a big impression upon me. It worked on the judge too. He spared the lives of Leopold and Loeb. The case from start to finish makes the Arias trial look like an afternoon soap. Sooner or later we all get called to jury duty. I was. There was a very well-made video we had to watch first, that tried to soften the major life interruption we were about to experience. I am guessing that some people would pay to sit on a death penalty case jury. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

• Create a central tracking system for state projects — in practice tracking the most costly materials in public works projects, such as items made from iron, steel and related manufactured goods. In light of these values, we recognize the arguments of some Republicans and others that it can be a difficult process ensuring that projects involve Coloradobased materials. In one of our stories earlier this month, Rep. Ray Scott, R-Grand Junction, stated flatly there is “no way in this free market system that everyone is going to be truthful.” Sad but true. Further we acknowledge it is highly problematic for contractors to know and document the sources of all materials. As for tracking payroll, that is not as much of a challenge, but more paperwork means increasing staff time and cost for contractors.

Overall, the act’s key measures can in some ways strengthen the state in the current challenging economic climate. The measures match the times, although it’s surely dicey work because making laws to regulate business — whether it’s incentives or tariffs or common taxes, and so on — will always be complicated and questionable to free market purists. For now, we support the general ideas, but long-term, we harbor reservations because the effort to stay local and secure jobs works against the pressing global marketplace and its competitive realities of comparative advantage — when one country can produce products or provide labor more efficiently than another. Given that the state employment rate decreased from about 8.2 percent a year ago to 7.1 percent last month, we’d like to see Colorado in a trend to entertain fewer laws that mean increased government protocols and processes for business.

Hospitals are grounds for hope Over the past 17-plus years, I have either been treated personally at local hospitals or have had family members and friends end up in the clinic, emergency room or hospital. And, over these past 17 years, I have talked to members of our community and many of you about our experiences at the different hospitals. Many of you have even sent me an email over the past few years sharing your experiences. Based on my experiences with family and friends and all of the unsolicited feedback I have received, I am happy to report that the teams at our local hospitals are doing an incredible job in caring for patients. We have been truly blessed with some of the most talented, caring, and compassionate doctors, nurses, technicians and support staff in health care. Even the volunteers at our hospitals seem to go out of their way to make sure patients and family are taken care of.

Having had to deal with a very significant health-care issue in my life recently, unfortunately I have found myself spending more and more time in hospitals, doctor’s offices and clinics as the primary caregiver for my wife. I am reminded each day and during each visit just how hard our health-care professionals work and how their amazing gifts of caring and compassion are tested multiple times per day.

letter to the editor Big government vs. freedom

Democrats market themselves as the only ones who care. But their legislative agenda, both federal and here in Colorado, reveals that Democrats care only about Leftist ideology and government expansion. Though Americans need jobs and freedom, gun control and other “social issues” consumed the Democrat-controlled legislatures. Meanwhile, Republicans sought to heal the economy and preserve our constitutional rights. Republicans recognize that the government does not create prosperity, nor promote liberty.

As I watch everyone from the EMTs bringing patients in, or the staff caring for the patient, I am in awe of their sincerity, love and technical ability. Conversely, just as in any serviceoriented business, I see the patients or family members of the patients become disruptive, abusive, belligerent and impatient as they bark out demands and treat their potential caregivers with complete disregard for the genuine effort of care being given. These same patients and family members do not understand how others observe their behavior and how damaging it is for the health and well-being of the patients who are there to get better. Not to mention how it impacts the morale of the clinic, the staff, or the other patients and families. If we are to have hope for health care, I would ask that instead of pointing the finger of blame at how “broken” health care is, that we begin by building a winning and positive relationship with the people who are immediately in front of us, our nurses, doctors, technicians and support staff. Kudos to these hospitals for being such a great place for all of those who find themselves needing care. They are wonderful institutions with amazing patients and families from our community and incredible staff and leadership, working together and providing hope for healthcare. I know some will have their stories of success and others will share their challenges, I would love to hear both at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we work collectively with our healthcare providers it is always a better than good week.

Renew, renovate for perfect lawn By Melinda Myers

Special to Colorado Community Media The extreme heat and drought of 2012 was hard on lawns and gardens. “Many gardeners are facing a blank slate of bare soil, masses of dead patches that were once lawn or a bit of grass interspersed in a sea of weeds,” says gardening expert Melinda Myers. Myers recommends following these steps to improve lawns this season. Start this spring to renovate or improve your weather-worn lawn. Remember that water is critical to get newly seeded and sodded lawns to survive. So be prepared to help nature along with the recovery effort. Evaluate the damage. Then use the checklist below to find the best course of action to aid the ailing lawn. If the lawn is more than 60 percent weeds or bare soil, it’s probably time to start over. Use this opportunity to create a great foundation for growing a healthy lawn. Kill off the existing vegetation, add several inches of organic matter such as compost or peat moss and a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer into the top six

pings on the lawn. They return moisture, nutrients, and organic matter to the soil. Repair small dead and bare patches as needed. Use a lawn patch kit, grass seed and mulch. For small spots, loosen the soil surface, sprinkle grass seed and lightly rake. Or mix a handful of grass seed in a bucket of topsoil. Sprinkle the mix over the soil surface. Do a bit more soil preparation when renovating larger dead areas in the lawn. Remove or kill any weeds that have filled in these areas. Till two inches of compost, peat moss or other organic matter into the top six inches of soil. Sow seed, rake and mulch or lay sod. Overseed thin and sparse lawns. First, core aerate the lawn to improve soil conditions and increase seed-to-soil contact. Spread grass seed over the aerated lawn and water as needed. Or rent a slit seeder or hire a professional with this type of equipment. These machines slice through the soil and drop the grass seed in place, increasing the seed-to-soil contact that is needed for good germination. Core aerate lawns that have more than a half-inch of thatch,

to eight inches of soil, and rake smooth. Select more drought tolerant grasses like rhizomatous (turftype) tall fescues, buffalo grass, and Habiturf native lawn mix. Make sure the grass is suited to the climate and plant according to the label. Then sow the seeds, lightly rake and mulch or lay sod. Water often enough to keep the soil moist until the seeds sprout or the sod roots into the soil below. Then water thoroughly when the top few inches of soil are crumbly, but slightly moist to encourage deep roots. Fertilize new, existing and stressed lawns with a low-nitrogen slow-release fertilizer like Milorganite. It won’t harm stressed lawns, young seedlings or newly laid sod. It will encourage slow steady growth. Southern lawns can be fertilized in April and again in early June. In the north fertilize around Memorial Day. And if 2013 turns into another hot dry summer, it won’t burn the lawn. Mow high to encourage deeply rooted grass that is more drought-tolerant and pest-resistant. And mow often, removing only a third of the total height. Be sure to leave these short clip-

Five projects to increase a home’s value By StatePoint Selling a home can be challenging. The good news is there are a few tweaks that can give homeowners a serious leg up on the competition. With the warmer months being the most active time of year to buy and sell real estate, it’s important to ensure your home is seen in the best light possible. “Despite the influx of homes for sale this season, the process of buying and selling a home can be simple, efficient and enjoyable,” says Wendy Froehlich of Homes. com, one of the nation’s top online real estate listing and lifestyle resources. According to Homes.com, the top five projects that improve home equity are:

Her Outdoor spaces com. Curb appeal adds immediate interest to any home’s exterior. According to Remodeling Magazine, improving outdoor spaces can increase a home’s resale value dollarfor-dollar. Frame the front walkway with items that add visual interest, like flowers, potted plants, large rocks of various sizes and solar-powered lights. If yard space is scarce, hanging plants are another great, low-cost option. Extend outdoor projects to the back-

yard — power-wash decks or patios and clean screened-in areas. Kitchen Kitchen renovations can cost anywhere from $20,000 to $40,000 and more. If that’s not in your budget, upgrading cabinetry and paint does wonders to liven up even the most outdated spaces. Add crown or decorative molding to “shape out” the kitchen cabinets and modernize the space. Repaint cabinets, or add new hardware to add visual interest and brighten dark spaces. Basement Basement improvements can optimize livable space and protect the home from extreme weather, mold, moisture damage and mites. Whether transitioning the basement to a home gym, office or family room, the basics remain the same: insulate well and waterproof. Maximize space by including shelving and storage units. If possible, make the space feel open and inviting by creating an open stairwell, a trick that visually connects the upper part of the house with the lower, and filters natural light into the space. Mudroom Mudrooms ensure families stay clutterfree and have a dedicated space to drop stuff as they come through the door. They can also make potential homeowners feel welcome upon entry. While knocking out a wall to create a mudroom is expensive and labor-intensive, you can make a “drop zone” by simply anchoring a bench to an empty wall and hanging labeled storage units. Making homes stand out in a sea of real estate listings isn’t always easy. More tips on increasing home values can be found at www.Homes.com.

Coldwell Banker Real Estate Agency (303) 800-3136 zoe.macaulay@coloradohomes.com livingindouglascountyco.com Where were you born? I was born in Dartford, Kent in England

on top of all aspects of it is the most challenging part of the job. Guidelines for Realtors, lenders and Appraisers are constantly changing and it is extremely important to the service I can provide to my clients that I stay educated and in the know of all of these changes so I can represent them with confidence. What do you most enjoy doing when you are not working? When I am not working I enjoy bik being with my family hiking, biking, cooking and watching my 3 kids play their favorite sports Ice Hockey, Dancing and Golf.

How long have you lived in the area? I have lived in area since 1990. We moved to Denver from Calgary, Alberta in Canada. What do you like most about it? We love the lifestyle and the weather and having seasons! How long have you worked in Real Estate? Although I was working in Real Estate prior to joining Coldwell Banker, I feel like my career in Real Estate really began after joining the Coldwell Banker Highlands Ranch office in 2009. The service and products I am able to offer my clients far surpasses what I was able to do prior to joining this office.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? If you are looking to sell your home it is important that you are confident working with the Realtor you choose. You

your home fastest, and at the best price possible. Choosing a Realtor that is an expert in your area will help you to understand the comparable properties and will give you a realistic price of what your home will sell for.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Buyers need to have knowledgeable representation, a Realtor that has experience and expertise in the areas they are looking at calling home is key to their experience. Buyers also need to have a Realtor that listens to their wants and needs, buying a home can be a really fun experience, or it can be a really frustrating time for the buyer if they are not working with a Realtor who is listening to them. It is also very important that Buyers have a Realtor that can react for them quickly, especially in our current market where we have a shortage of homes on the market and when homes do come on they are going under contract in days, your Realtor has to be flexible and able to see homes with you immediately. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? What some call unusual, I call interesting! Almost daily we run into interesting things with our jobs.

Time your move right to save money B

uying a new home is the most expensive purchase a person is likely to make in his or her lifetime. It also can be one of the more stressful. The Employee Relocation Council states that moving is the third most stressful event in life, following death and divorce. But a well-timed move can reduce stress and save money. Moving during certain times of the year can result in considerable savings. Moving during the summer, when children are out of school and the weather is nice, can make a move more manageable. Keep in mind that because late spring and summer are the peak moving seasons, they also tend to be more expensive. Many moving companies and truck rental agencies will charge a premium if you use their services during the summer. Furthermore, crews may change in the summer when students on vacation could fill in for regular, more experienced movers.

High prices are not only reserved for those who buy a new house during the spring and summer. Renters may find spring and summer is also the peak season for rentals. Many apartment managers can attest that the dates between June 2 and August 30 are quite busy in terms of apartment turnover. College students are more likely to move as soon as the academic year ends, and many landlords plan leases to expire in the summer months to ensure that re-renting places will be easier thanks to a flooded apartment market. According to Apartment Wiz, a Houston-based apartment locating service, although there might be greater apartment availability during the warm-weather months, it also means greater competition between prospective tenants. That greater competition can drive up prices. But apartments are harder to fill in the fall or at the onset of winter. That’s because

many people do not want the hassle of moving once school has started or the weather has chilled. Landlords who are stuck paying utilities and advertising fees for vacant apartments are far more likely to negotiate rent prices, lease terms and even security deposits during the winter in an effort to fill the apartment quickly. People sitting with homes on the market are also more likely to negotiate during cooler months when foot traffic has fizzled out. That can make shopping for a home in the fall advantageous to home buyers. Here are some other tips to reduce stress and save money when moving into a new home or apartment. • Move mid-week. Weekends are a prime time for truck rentals and moving companies. Pick a Tuesday or a Wednesday to move, and you’re much more likely to find an available moving service (even during peak mov-

ing months); you may even be able to negotiate a lower rate. • Pick a mid-month moving date. Many people move at the beginning of the month when leases are up or after mortgage payments are made. Fewer people move in the middle of the month, so you might find more affordable moving deals if you can wait a few extra weeks. • Schedule a fall or winter move. The American Moving and Storage Association says half of all moves occur during one-third of the year -- between the beginning of May and Labor Day. Beat the rush by moving outside of these dates. • Get an early start. Many people underestimate the amount of time it takes to actually move their belongings. Try to schedule a moving company to come very early in the morning to give you ample time to pack up the truck and unpack at your new home. ■ Metro Creative Services

‘Duck’ stars grace Rock

Emmy Award-winning composer Charles Denler of Highlands Ranch recently completed the recording for “Portraits of Colorado, An American Symphony No. 1,” the first in a series of planned symphonies. The 10-movement symphony will be performed with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra and Chorus May 31 at Boettcher Concert Hall in downtown Denver. Photo by Ryan Boldrey

Portraits of Colorado come to life Emmy Award-winning composer pens symphony By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com In this area, the April 1999 Columbine tragedy is remembered every year at this time. For Highlands Ranch resident and Emmy Award-winning composer Charles Denler, Columbine also finds its way into his latest work, “Portraits of Colorado, An American Symphony No. 1.” Denler, whose own brother was killed when he was 17, has always felt a connection to incidents like Columbine, and in the ninth movement, “The Columbine Tribute,” he combines the poetry of the state flower with the shootings that shook the state. “If you watch a sunrise in the morning you can see the flowers face east, and then throughout the day, they track the sun and turn to face west,” Denler said. “Every morning they know that the sun is going to come up in the east. It doesn’t matter how hard the night was. It gives a sense of new beginning and hope. “The movement obviously pays homage to the victims and the families, but it is not meant to be as much of a memorial as it is a

hope for a better future.” Denler’s “Portraits of Colorado” — inspired by the artwork of Jerry Malzhan — is written in 10 shorter movements, as opposed to the traditional three, to appeal to the iPod generation. It will debut with the Colorado Symphony May 31 at Denver’s Boettcher Hall. “It’s a passionate symphony not only about Colorado, but it’s really a symphony about overcoming the odds and overcoming hardship, and finding hope even in the midst of the storm,” Denler said. “We all know that life is hard, and on some people it’s harder than others. This symphony is about celebrating new beginnings and fresh starts.” Writing with the dissonance and quick resolve of Aaron Copland to the melody and theme of John Williams, Denler intends to follow up “Portraits of Colorado” with two other symphonies in the next two years: “Portraits of an American Soldier, American Symphony No. 2” and “Portraits of New England, An American Symphony No. 3.” In addition to the symphonies and composing scores for Honda, Oprah Winfrey and “NBC Dateline,” Denler — who earned his Emmys for best music in 2004 with “Bentley Creek” and in 2005 for “Beyond the

Medal of Honor” — recently composed the film score for “Henry and Me,” an animated feature due out this fall about an 8-year-old boy struggling with cancer who finds hope through baseball. The movie features the voices of Richard Gere, Cyndi Lauper, Paul Simon and numerous New York Yankees past and present, such as Reggie Jackson, Yogi Berra, Alex Rodriguez and Curtis Granderson. The story of how Denler came to write “Portraits of Colorado” will also be featured later this summer on PBS in a documentary by award-winning filmmaker Steve Greisen, called “An American Symphony.” The documentary will explore the motivation behind the symphony and flash from Malzhan’s paintings to the locations that inspired them, and will feature interviews with the composer and artist as well as live footage of the May 31 performance. “It’s really a cool inside look at the inspiration,” Denler said. “People don’t write symphonies that much anymore. It makes the process feel normal to people, not so mysterious, not just something that dead guys have done.” For more information on the composer, to hear samples or to purchase tickets for the concert with the Colorado Symphony, please visit www.littlerivermusic.com.

Arapahoe Philharmonic chooses conductor Hughes has deep roots in area music scene By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com As the Arapahoe Philharmonic orchestra wraps up its 59th season, the musicians have completed a search for a new conductor to follow in the footsteps of the late Vincent LaGuardia Jr. On May 10, Devin Patrick Hughes will take his place in front of the orchestra for a concert at Mission Hills Church, called “The Magnificent Orchestra,” which includes Mahler’s “Symphony No. 1 (Titan),” Brahms’ “Academic Festival Overture” and Gershwin’s “Lullaby for Strings.” Musician Gail Sindelar, who has been involved in the selection process, writes: “The Arapahoe Philharmonic Players have had 15 different conductors since last May: four auditioning conductors, two guest conductors for special concerts, three assistant conductors and six conductors for our youth outreach programs.” Hughes has been music director of the Boulder Symphony for five years and has

The Rock Christian Academy in Castle Rock has bagged Phil and Willie Robertson, two of the stars of the wildly popular “Duck Dynasty,” A&E’s reality series, for a speaking engagement and fundraiser beginning at 6:30 p.m. May 19 at The Douglas County Events Center. Event organizer and Rock Christian Academy parent Michael Brumbaugh took dead aim at the Robertson clan months ago by contacting the family’s agent and refusing to give up. His persistence paid off. Phil and Willie, part of the family that made its fortune in products for duck hunters, will speak about “Faith, testimony, business, the importance of raising children with biblical principles and a Christian education.” “We need to do a big event every year to continue to fund the scholarship fund,” Brumbaugh said. “I thought about it for a couple of months, then started watching `Duck Dynasty.’ I thought, `These guys are great! I wonder if they do speaking engagements since they come from a Christian family?’” The persistent parent hounded the agent until he got a “confirmed” answer. “When your heart is in something and you believe in something as strong as the Rock Academy, and how God is moving in that school, you fight for what you believe in,” he said. “This year God blessed us with `Duck Dynasty.’” With 8.6 million viewers, A&E’s “Duck Dynasty” is the highest-rated reality show on cable TV. The money raised from the event’s ticket sales will help fund a 10,000-square-foot expansion of the existing building, build the school’s playground and provide financial aid and scholarships to families who can’t afford the $4,700 annual tuition. VIP tickets (with a pre-event meet and greet) are $150; other tickets are $60 for general admission to $80 for “gold seating” right behind the VIP seats.

Elway’s concerts scheduled

The hottest patio of the season is Elway’s at Cherry Creek — no doubt, no argument. Elway’s Cherry Creek summer concerts return with live music, cocktails, the signature menu and beautiful Colorado evenings in the Elways’ backyard starting June 19. These wildly popular outdoor concerts play each Wednesday night from mid-June through late August, including the return of the Railbenders to the Summer Music Series and a special Independence Day July 3 celebration for 2013 featuring local legends The Samples along with special food and cocktails. Appearing this year are several tribute bands including Message in a Bottle, covering The Police; Forever in Blue Jeans, channeling Neil Diamond standards; and Under a Blood Red Sky, who rock out U2 hits. The brotherly harmonies of Something Underground take stage on July 10. And newcomers, Justin Lane Band, will bring hard-hitting country to the backyard while all-girl band The Parker continues on Page 21

Classic espionage story gets ramped-up treatment Town Hall hosts ‘The 39 Steps’

IF YOU GO

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews. com London, 1935. Bored specialagent type Robert Hannay, tired of being back in London (his old buddies are married or eaten by a crocodile), decides to go to the theater as the Town Hall production of “The 39 Steps” opens. Hannay, played by James O’Hagan Murphy, is joined in his theater box by sexy spy Annabella Schmidt (Mackenzie Paulsen) who goes home with him — and is murdered by morning. He is off and running towards the Scottish Highlands, from unknown killers and in search of the spy ring called 39 Steps — with three different women, all played by Paulsen. The rest of the 100-plus parts are played with astonishing comic timing by two “clowns”: Eric Mather and Seth Maisel. Sometimes it’s just the change of a hat and at other times, there are rapid costume changes — all very cleverly staged by veteran director Robert Wells. We see a race across the tops of a moving train headed towards

Hitchcock’s original 1935 movie was based on a spy thriller written in 1915 by John Buchan. One wonders what those two would think of this crazy version, adapted by Patrick Barlow. And one wonders at the imagination that could envision this ongoing hilarity. It’s a delightful spoof that keeps an audience laughing as our hero is chased by police, dogs, planes and sinister types. Wells, in his notes, calls our attention to the first bi-plane crash ever staged at Town Hall. His skill in bringing out the comedic, as well as that of the actors, who have to change directions and characters on a dime, make

She, personally, has been doing more work in porcelain, which she will also display. She uses a combination of glazes available at the guild’s studio, such as a copper glaze is enhanced by use of wax resist and then the addition of a black glaze, which gives green color where the two blend together.

For gas firing, she uses the large kiln at the guild studio, which

Photographers Karen Kirkpatrick and Fee Chinn were Best of Show winners — in black and white and color — in the 2012 Eye of the Camera Exhibit, sponsored by the Littleton Fine Arts Board. In addition to a cash award, these winners are invited to hold a two-person exhibit the following year at the Littleton Museum. Their work combines evenly, although it is hung separately. A dreamy quality prevails and calls on the viewer to bring imagination to the gallery and interact with the images. We were able to visit the gallery with Kirkpatrick, a Centennial resident.

called “Light Before Dawn” — “ordinary scenes that have been manipulated slightly in order to infuse them with the emotion I felt as I worked with each of the images,” she explains. The photographer, who is also a quilter, said she was “trying to loosen up … to make them look like they are my work” as she layered images. She hopes to draw the viewer into the story — make them want to walk on the path, become engaged. She has become interested in working with a Holga camera, a small plastic “point and shoot,” which tends to distort the image. When her children were grown she decided to get serious about photography, an interest since she had used her parents’ Brownie camera. Photographer John Davenport encouraged her to go back to school and she finished a BFA degree at CU-Denver, connecting with the arts community.

Firehouse parrot bound for better life Longtime Pirates of Broadway mascot flies into retirement By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com

Sam bites, babbles, cries at bedtime, knows a few choice words, creates a constant mess, occasionally tries to escape and once caused a serious wardrobe malfunction, but her BFF loves her and is sad to see her go. “But I think that she’ll like having bird friends,” said Kari Buckingham, the Littleton firefighter who Sam’s best friend. Sam is the Mexican red-headed Amazon parrot that’s had the longest shift ever at Station 12. But after 20 years on the job, Sam packed man’sup her cage, hopped a Delta flight out of ings.Denver International Airport and retired to e? Isa birdie retreat in Washington. “She deserves to fly. She’s a bird,” said fromfirefighter Dan Arkin. “She is kind of like our mple.amusement, but really she’s a bird. It makes stingme feel good about her going.” heme Having a parrot was never really in the plans for Station 12, even though the firefighters there are known as The Pirates of Broadway. But when one of their regular customers succumbed to diabetes, his family offered them his pet as a mascot and friend. She’s delighted scores of visitors since then, particularly children visiting on field trips. “I think the kids are going to miss her the most,” said Buckingham. Sam fit right in at Station 12 — she even already knew how to “stop, drop and roll.” Her previous owner used to forget food on

Photo by Jennifer Smith the stove on a fairly regular basis, filling up the home with smoke. Buckingham remembers finding Sam on the floor by the front door on several such occasions. Even though she loved her home, Sam tried to make a break for it on occasion. She once flew all the way across Broadway, just skimming the tops of the cars. “Thank God she made it all the way across instead of landing in the middle,” said Buckingham. Firefighter Jens Pietrzyk can’t stop laughing as he recalls Sam’s most notorious moment, which came as the company was moving from the old building south of the

current facility. During the grand-opening party, Sam hopped on a woman’s finger, and the woman thought it would be fun to put her on her shoulder like a real pirate as a crowd of adults and kids looked on. Something happened, the lady freaked out, Sam freaked out, Sam grabbed on to the lady’s spaghetti strap and fell downward and boom — the aforementioned wardrobe malfunction. Sam was clearly spoiled. Pietrzyk said she once actually relaxed so much that she fell off her perch as he massaged her little birdie shoulders, and Buckingham often

treated to her showers under the kitchensink sprayer. “She doesn’t love it, but sometimes she likes it,” she said. “She’ll spread out her wings and let you spray under them.” The rookies were tasked with putting Sam to bed at night, and Buckingham said she’ll miss watching them figure out creative ways to lure the reluctant Sam into her cage. “It’s just fun to watch,” she said. “Some people are deathly afraid of birds.” The firefighters have never been exactly sure of the parrot’s gender, not knowing if Sam is short for “Samuel” or “Samantha.” Although female pronouns have stuck, Buckingham thinks she’s probably actually a boy, since she’s never shown nesting tendencies. They’re also not sure how old Sam is, but a vet estimated her at 15 to 20 when they got her, making her 35 to 40 now. She could live another 30 or 40 years — beyond the retirement age of most of her current caretakers. “It’s not that we don’t want to take care of her,” said Buckingham. “It’s just time.” Sam’s new digs, Macaw Rescue and Sanctuary, are designed to mimic the birds’ natural environment, and she’ll meet lots of new friends. “Within a week, she’ll find a mate or a friend that she’ll cling to, and then they’ll be inseparable,” said Buckingham. She herself has been that special someone since 2002, when Sam’s first true love, Gary Metz, retired. Lots of firefighters pitched in to buy Sam’s airplane ticket, and Buckingham said some of the proceeds would be donated to her new home. Her new caretaker has promised to post photos of Sam on the sanctuary’s Facebook page for those who’d like to see what her new life of leisure has in store.

100 years old and going strong By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcolorado news.com On April 24, 1913, a 3-pound baby girl was born in Cambria Mills, Mich. The doctor gave her no chance of living and didn’t even take the time to record the birth. One hundred years later, all Ethel Honeycutt can do is laugh. “I wish I could see that doctor now,” she says with a smile. Honeycutt, who has met all 45 of her great-grandchildren and most of her 67 great-great-grandchildren, lives in Highlands Ranch with her son Bob, and also spends a lot of time with her granddaughter, Diana Giblette, in Elizabeth. After celebrating her 100th with about 30 close friends and family members in

Ethel Honeycutt, right, pictured with her older sister, was born in 1913 in Cambria Mills, Mich. She weighed just 3 pounds at birth and was small enough to fit inside a cigar box. The doctor gave her no chance of survival. How wrong he was. Ethel, who lives with her son Bob in Highlands Ranch, has reached her 100th birthday. Courtesy photo

Colorado, she plans to fly to Texas to stay with her other son, John, for a few months. Honeycutt, who recalls taking her first airplane ride in the late 1930s, looks forward to seeing all of the “great-greats” she has yet to meet at a second party in Texas, where close to 200 attendees are expected. “It’s the greatest feeling to have a little child come up and touch you,” she said. “One reason I have lived as long as I have is because of the children. They keep you young.” Honeycutt, a devout Mormon, holds nothing closer to her heart than her family, and says she has been blessed to have had them surround her most of her days. Ethel’s husband — also born April 24, 1913 — died in 1985, and she has spent the past 28 years living with or close to her two sons. “He’s waiting for her, but we’re not going to let him have her for a while,” Bob said. Her family took her to Hawaii last year for an early 100th birthday celebration, and plans call for a Tahiti trip when she hits 110. Ethel has traveled the world in her lifetime, visiting Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and England among other locales. She has lived through two world wars and the Great Depression. She saw Frank Sinatra and Liberace back when the Las Vegas strip had just two hotels, and she lived in North Hollywood before it was North Hollywood. “I remember horse-and-buggy days,” she says. “My father would take the wheels off the buggy and put runners on to make a sleigh and we’d go to grandmother’s house.” When she was 10, her family moved from Michigan to California, taking five weeks to crisscross the country on dirt roads in a Ford automobile. She later met her husband in California and they moved to Las Vegas in 1929, then to his native Texas in 1961. Asked if she had any advice for today’s youth, she said, “Every generation has had something to worry about. Ours is a little more violent. Just pray and stay positive. I know Heavenly Father will watch over us if we just give Him a chance. And if you get angry? “Just count to 10,” she said. “You won’t say what you wanted to.”

Ethel Honeycutt celebrated her 100th birthday on April 24. Honeycutt, who recalled when her family transitioned from a horse and buggy to a Model T, said she has been truly blessed by having such a wonderful family around her and that staying positive and prayer were the secrets to longevity.

Mountain Vista edges Heritage in soccer Golden Eagles win 3-0 in hard-fought battle By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Heritage-Mountain Vista soccer game again proves statistics go out the window when teams take the field Based on won-loss records, Mountain Vista appeared to be heavily favored, with a 9-1 season record and 6-0 in league, while Heritage was 1-7-2 overall and 1-3-2 in league. But the game turned out to be a hardfought battle from the opening kickoff. In the end, Mountain Vista preserved its undefeated league record with a 3-0 win. Games take on added importance as both teams head down the home stretch of the regular season. Heritage was scheduled to play Highlands Ranch on April 23 and then face ThunderRidge on April 25. The final regular season game is April 30 at 7 p.m. against Legend at Littleton Stadium. At the same time, Mountain Vista was to play Castle View April 25 and to play Littleton on April 29. The team wraps up the regular season April 30 with a 4:30 p.m. game against Highlands Ranch at Shea Stadium. Mountain Vista is in position to win the Continental League title for the fourth year in a row, which earns them an automatic berth in the 32-team Class 5A playoffs. “We have a lot of talent on our team and have the skills to play ball-control soccer, moving the ball around and always working for a good shot on goal,” Golden Eagles coach Therese Echetermeyer said before the Heritage game.

Heritage junior Erin Serocki (5) wins the battle for a loose ball with Mountain Vista’s Sarah Newcomer (22) in an April 18 league soccer game. “We are also strong defensively. We have a solid back line that doesn’t let many attackers get behind them and we also have talented goalkeepers.” The Golden Eagles have scored 33 goals and given up two. Twelve players have scored goals so far this season and 14 players have assists. The leading scorer is freshman Mallory Pugh who has 12 goals and one assists. Megan Massey had five goals and five assists and Maddy Smith has six goals and four assists. After the game, Heritage coach Adam Buseck praised the way his team played in this game and all season.

“We fought hard the whole game as we have in all our games,” the coach said. “Today, we made a couple of mistakes early and, since they are a good team, they took advantage of those mistakes to score goals.” Buseck said his team depth is a major plus because he can keep fresh players on the field throughout the game without impacting the quality of his team’s play. The coach said his team struggled a little early, but he encourages the team to keep battling because they are not out of the playoff picture yet. “This is a good soccer team with a lot of talented players on the roster,” he said. “We have had some players sidelined with

injuries but we still are very competitive. With the exception of Mountain Vista, our league is very competitive, so we could start winning games and still get one of the wildcard spots in the playoffs.” The team has spread the scoring around, with three players scoring goals and five players with assists. Alyssa Biever, a sophomore, is the scoring leader with three goals, and teammate Ellen Best, a freshman, has a goal and has taken a team-high 15 shots on goal. One of the Eagles’team leaders is senior Syd Slouka. “Soccer is my sport,” she said. “I run cross country and I am on the swimming team, but soccer is very different because it is a team game and every game is different. I really like it.” She said she has played center defender until this year when the coach moved her up to play center midfielder. “I guess the coach moved me to strengthen the team, but I have found I like the move to midfield,” she said with a smile. “Midfield is fun. It is different than defense because I get to connect with more of my teammates and I get the chance to shoot the ball on goal.” She said there is a big transition from swimming in the winter season to playing soccer in the spring. “The two sports require very different muscles. In swimming a lot of the technique requires arm strength, while soccer is about core and leg muscles,” she said. “But swimming does build cardiovascular stamina. Then, you go to soccer and work on stamina in your leg muscles.” She said she has one goal this season and it was a big thrill and felt so good. She said that among many goals she is working on, she wants to score some more goals for the soccer team.

Chaparral bats overwhelm Littleton in league play Lions’ strong defense doesn’t put stop to Wolverines’ hitting By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Defense by both teams was solid, but Chaparral’s bats proved the difference as the Wolverines defeated Littleton 16-2 in Continental League baseball action April 19. “You have to tip your hat to Chaparral. They are a good hitting team and, when our pitchers got the ball up in the zone, they made us pay for it,” Littleton coach Micah Bernhardt said after the game. “It’s been that kind of season for us. We have played good defense and our pitching has been strong in most games, but we haven’t scored a lot of runs. It seems we don’t get the big hits or those seeing-eye hits when we need them. Despite everything, our kids play hard every game, they play the game the right way and, in this competitive league, we have to play perfect every game to get wins.” Littleton is now 2-10 overall and 1-3 in league and looking to build some momentum by winning a majority of the eight games left on the schedule. On the other side of the field, Chaparral is 10-2 overall and leading the league with a 5-0 record. “Our kids are really playing well. They are playing for each other and taking care of each other,” Chaparral coach Tony Persichina said before the game. “Our strength is a fundamentally solid team. We have a solid pitching staff, play good defense and we have been hitting the ball well.” He noted the team has the league lead now, and that will be a goal as they head into the home stretch of the season because a league title means an automatic playoff berth. But, like the vast majority of coaches, Persichina said he tells the players to not

Photo by Tom Munds look ahead but to concentrate on taking the field and focus on winning games one at a time. Weather has forced games to be rescheduled, so both teams face busy schedules down the home stretch of the season. The Lions face a stretch of five games in six days in the upcoming week. The Lions wrap up the season with an April 29 home game against Mountain Vista and a May 1 game on the road against Legend.

Chaparral leads the league standings has a four-game schedule in five days in the coming week. The Wolverines wrap up the season with an April 29 game against Rock Canyon and a key May 2 game against ThunderRidge, which is currently 10-2 overall and 3-1 in league. In the April 19 game, the Wolverines got the bats going early, jumping out to a 5-0 first inning advantage. A big blow came

when Keenan Eaton hit a two-run homer. It the fourth inning, he cleared the bases with a grand slam homer. Pitcher Max Kuhns and teammate Brett Wallace also hit home runs for Chaparral. In all, the Wolverines collected 18 hits, which included the four homers and a trio of doubles. Littleton got three hits, but two of them were home runs, one by Paul Holden and one by Sean Walker.

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS ROUNDUP Legend baseball on a roll

Legend, last spring’s runners-up in the Class 5A state baseball tournament, won only one it its first five games this season. However, the Titans are playing good baseball now after collecting two key Continental League victories last week over Mountain Vista and Douglas County. Legend’s Bobby Dalbec pitched a four-hit shutout and had two hits in the 2-0 win over Mountain Vista on April 19. The Titans followed the next day with a 10-6 triumph over Douglas County. The Titans (8-5 overall) entered this week in a three-team tie for second place in the league with a 4-1 record. Regis Jesuit and ThunderRidge are also 4-1. Chaparral is 5-0 in league play. Chaparral, which owns victories over Legend and Regis, romped to a 9-3 win over Ponderosa on April 15 and walloped Littleton, 17-2, on April 19. Max Kuhns, the league’s leading hitter with a .639 average, went 6-for7 with six runs batted in and two homers in the two games. ThunderRidge blanked Highlands Ranch, 8-0, on April 19 and whipped Littleton, 12-2 on April 20. Brody Westmoreland had three hits against the Falcons and hit his league-leading fifth homer in the win over Littleton. In other action last week, Valor Christian traveled to the Western Slope and despite being outhit 23-18,

notched two victories. Kyle Robbins had three hits and Justin Falls smacked a grand slam homer April 19 in a 12-11 victory over Durango in a game played in Montrose. On April 20, Daniel Lund hit a three-run homer and Valor scored a run in the top of the seventh for a 5-4 win over Montrose, the state’s top-ranked Class 4A team.
