could be pivotal to fighting a wildfire. “We’re one of the few if not the only municipal fire department in the state that trains with a helicopter,” said Lt. Patrick Richardson, wildland team coordinator with Castle Rock Fire and Rescue. “If we don’t practice, the last place we want to learn to do this is in an actual fire. Burning Tree is a perfect example.” Richardson led nearly 60 firefighters from the Castle Rock and South Metro fire departments in wildland training at the vacant Dawson Ridge subdivision. Rampart
A plaintiff in the Douglas County School District voucher case says the state appeals court erred in several area Feb. 28 in upholding the voucher program. The process to take the case to the Colorado Supreme Court is under way. An attorney on the other side, representing families who had originally received vouchers, says the program’s design keeps private schools and government separate, ensuring its constitutionality. The two sides likely will get to argue those points again, though the case doesn’t automatically move to the higher court. It first must be approved for review by a certiorari, an order from a higher court that directs the lower court to send the case to it. The Colorado Supreme Court receives more than 900 certiorari petitions annually stemming from Court of Appeals decisions, and agrees on average to hear one of every 14 petitioned cases. Director of Taxpayers for Public Education Anne Kleinkopf, among the plaintiffs in the lawsuit against DCSD and the Colorado Department of Education, has no doubt this petition will be granted. “The issues are of such great public importance and they are such novel legal is-

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com Castle Rock firefighters take fire season seriously, with wildfire training to fight a blaze from all directions. The town’s fire department hosted wild-
land training in March, to prepare local agencies for the possibility of fighting fires from ground and air. It is a possibility that is real in Douglas County. Castle Rock was among the agencies that in 2011 responded to the Burning Tree Fire, which claimed 1,600 acres in Franktown. The fire was contained with the help of Rampart Helicopter of Castle Rock. The company contracts with Douglas County to respond to area wildfires. Pilots with Rampart Helicopter participate in the air-to-ground training that
There’s nothing musty or dusty about county’s libraries Douglas branches have distinct personalities By Rhonda Moore
rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com An early morning visit to the Lone Tree Library is a cross between stepping into a childhood play land, a workplace and a multi-cultural complex. The Lone Tree branch opened in 1986 as the Oakes Mill Library, circulating about 2,400 items in its first year. Today, the branch that sits minutes from the Park Meadows shopping center welcomes about 45,000 visitors per month, with a 2012 circulation of 830,000 items. Its visitors include residents who have relocated to Colorado from across the globe, reflecting the diversity of the Lone Tree patrons. “Our library is one of the more diverse in the district,” said Aspen Walker, Douglas County Library District branch manager at the Castle Pines and Lone Tree branches. “We’re seeing an amazing amount of use.” Visitors to the Lone Tree branch on a re-
cent March morning included transplants from Austria, Honduras and Japan. Many were at the branch for childhood story time. Some joined the activities to help perfect their language skills, including Miwa Inatsugu from Japan. “I come just to hear people speak,” Inatsugu said. Inatsugu visits the library a few times a week, her 17-month-old baby in tow. She was surprised to learn that among the library’s services is a free English tutoring program. It is among dozens of programs offered free of charge at the district. Programs include history research, tech tutoring, business start-up support, free legal aid, author visits and job-seeking help. To expand its programming, the library finds community partners such as the Arapahoe/Douglas Works! workforce center, which provides job skills training and employment matches through the state labor department. On March 21, more than 30 people attended a free class at the Philip S. Miller branch in Castle Rock to perfect interviewLibraries continues on Page 27

Chicks are popular Easter present Preparation key if giving poultry as gifts
owner-association rules is advised, Schacht says, as is having a chicken run and a coop that prevents hawks and owls from preying on the pets. But once the details are out of the way, the chicks can be enjoyable first pets. Schacht, the proud owner of 23 chickens, said they make perfect 4-H projects for kids in suburban areas. “They learn how to take care of them and can sell eggs on the side,” she said. “It’s a great way for kids to learn responsibility.” Chickens exhibit different personalities. Some are sweet-natured, and some are there strictly to conduct the business of laying eggs. They prefer not to snuggle up. “Others come running up to me,” Schacht says. “One knows her name: Speckles.” The chicks at Parker Feed & Supply arrive by mail from a Missouri hatchery every spring and are sold for between $3 and $4.25, depending on breed. Some breeds, appropriately for Easter, end up laying bright blue, green and pink eggs within four to five months. Of course, it’s best to determine whether a child and his or her parents are equipped to handle a baby chick or two. Chicken ownership is on the rise in suburban areas and several Denver-area mu-

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Easter tends to bring out the cute and fluffy things in life. There are the ever-present bunny rabbits, but some might not know about the increasing presence of baby chickens. The chicks, fresh out of their shells, are given as gifts to the delight of youngsters. “Chicks are the new dog,” said Debbie Schacht, who helps run Parker Feed & Supply, a company that has been in business for 42 years along South Parker Road. The family-owned and -operated store sells about 300 chicks in the two weeks leading up to Easter. And while the chicks bring smiles to the faces of those who receive them, there are a few important things to remember. Building or buying a quality chicken coop, with access for easy cleanup and egg retrieval, is a must. The chicks must be kept inside for warmth during their first 12 weeks.

Douglas tops for child well-being Report shows leading position among state’s 25 biggest counties By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com For the second time in two years, the Kids Count in Colorado report listed Douglas County as No. 1 in the state for child well-being. Published by the Colorado Children’s Campaign in conjunction with the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the report compares the 25 largest counties in the state and takes into account 12 indicators that weigh access to and quality of health, education, family and community support. Denver County ranked 25th. “The goal of Kids Count is to provide a clearer picture of the challenges and opportunities facing Colorado kids and to provide
communities with the county-specific data needed to better support their children,” said Chris Watney, president and CEO of the Colorado Children’s Campaign. “No county included in our analysis is without an area that could be improved upon and all counties have strengths and best practices.” While pleased with the top billing, Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella was quick to agree with Watney and point out that individual families still are struggling in Douglas County and continue to need support. “Our child well-being outcomes are attributable first and foremost to the parents and caregivers of children in our county, as well as to our public safety professionals, our school system, nonprofit organizations, faith-based community support and governmental entities that provide a safety net for our at-risk families,” Repella said. “We know that where a child lives has significant impacts on their well-being, on
‘We know that where a child lives has significant impacts on their well-being.’ Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella whether he or she can access health care, quality education and a safe neighborhood.” Among the numerous categories where Douglas County led the state was child poverty, with only 3.8 percent of children living under the poverty line. As a state, Colorado continues to get worse, up from 10 percent in 2000 to 18 percent in 2012. The state still remains 4 points beneath the national average of 22 percent. Douglas also had the lowest teen birth rate in the state (7.7 births per 1,000 girls), the lowest number of uninsured children (2.4 percent), the third lowest drop-
out rate (0.9 percent) and the sixth lowest rate of overweight or obese children (18.5 percent). On the national spectrum, Colorado came in as the fourth least affordable state for center-based infant care and the ninth least affordable state for center-based care for a 4-year-old relative to state median income. “It is our hope that this information will be used to ensure that all Colorado children have the opportunity to reach their full potential,” Watney said.

Council garners support for stance on guns Officials oppose actions by state lawmakers By Rhonda Moore
rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com Castle Rock Town Council members received resounding support for going public with their position against pending gun legislation. With one exception, residents who attended the March 19 council meeting supported council’s objection to firearms laws proposed by state legislators. Council’s objection came in the form of a formal resolution supporting the Second Amendment and opposing legislation restricting the ownership and use of firearms. Councilmembers opted to go public with their opinion about gun legislation at the state level because of the potential threat to the U.S. and Colorado constitutions, said Mayor Paul Donahue, District 1. “In my mind, the legislation produced by House and Senate bills is counter to the Constitution of the United States, specifically the Second Amendment,” Donahue said. “Our oath is to uphold that Constitution. (W)e will be emailing and or faxing our resolution to the governor’s office
tonight or tomorrow morning to be sure it’s on his desk before he signs the law into legislation.” The legislation was signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper the day after the council meeting, to require background checks for all firearms exchanges, limit ammunition magazines and impose fees for CBI background checks. Councilmembers believe the governor’s approval could trigger more fallout. “I’ve heard rumors of recall, lawsuits, all kinds of chaos,” Donahue said. “I am pleading with Governor Hickenlooper right now to not sign these bills into law until we look at it more closely and see what we can do to have a more reasonable and proper discussion about what makes sense for Colorado.” Nearly a dozen people spoke in public hearing to support council’s position. Among them was former Castle Rock utilities director Ron Redd, who applauded councilmembers for taking a public stand against the legislation. “I’m somewhat aghast and shocked how quickly a constitutional right can be eroded in this country,” Redd said. “I have a lot of respect for people who live boldly, stand for what they believe, regardless of the consequences. Our history has a lot of people who
have done that. The good news is we see that in our daily lives but you rarely see the courage of a governing body to do that.” The lone objection to council’s action came from Rachel Scarborough, who read from a letter written by her father, a retired judge. Town council’s position does not reflect the view of all residents of Castle Rock and jeopardizes the town’s reputation as a familyfriendly community, she said. Scarborough cautioned councilmembers to take more time to consider a formal position. She shared insight from a letter submitted by her father. “The Second Amendment, the right to bear arms, is not absolute,” she read. “Just as the right to speech is not absolute or any other right in the Constitution. If the government has a compelling interest to regulate the ownership of guns, it can do it. It’s a question of reasonableness, including a threat to public safety. Reasonable laws regulating guns as to place manner and kind is constitutional.” To view a copy of council’s resolution, visit www.crgov.com, go to “town council” under “town government,” select “watch council meetings live” and select the agenda package for the March 19 meeting. The resolution is item number 10.
Mayor responds to weapons bills By Rhonda Moore
rmoore@ourcoloradonews. com Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donahue led town council in its effort to send a message urging Gov. John Hickenlooper to refrain from signing new gun legislation, calling the bills “unconstitutional.” On March 21, the day after Hickenlooper signed the bills, Donahue doubted the laws would do anything to reduce gun violence or reduce the number of firearms that land in the hands of criminals. “These types of laws don’t make sense,” Donahue said. “You can’t outlaw evil and evil intent,
it’s there in the world. You can’t prevent law-abiding citizens from protecting themselves from that.” The legislature drove the gun laws on the heels of mass tragedies, without a reasonable discussion about the impacts on law-abiding citizens, Donahue said. He hopes for reversal of the laws to open the debate, step aside from the emotions that drove the legislation and engage in a more thoughtful dialogue, he said. “I cannot lend my father-inlaw my rifle for a hunting trip because that makes both of us criminals,” Donahue said. “This is not common-sense legislation at all.”

Adult apps are cause for parental concern Teen usage leads to dangerous situations

WeÕ ve got you covered!
‘It’s not about the ability for your son or daughter
By Ryan Boldrey
to reach into the outside
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Teenagers signing up for adult smartphone apps — designed for people 18 and older seeking sexual encounters — are putting themselves in a dangerous and vulnerable position, Douglas County officials say. It’s happening at such an alarming rate that District Attorney George Brauchler and Undersheriff Tony Spurlock called a joint press conference March 18 to let parents know what is happening. The apps are free to download, and signup only requires a statement that the user is at least 18. They are each equipped with a geolocator to make it easier for the two people to find one another — something that is especially scary when it concerns children using the apps, both men say. “Recently we’ve found that a lot of our youth are using them,” Spurlock said. “These kids do not know what they are getting into, and some child is going to fall victim to something they will never be able to get over again. “What we are hoping is that parents will go home, find their children’s phones and ask them if they can take a look and see what kind of apps that they have. … These are adult apps. These are not for children.” Brauchler said parents have the ability to block a phone from accessing adult apps by entering a four-digit code that is kept secret from the child. The geolocator function can also be turned off, but he said there are definitely benefits to leaving that on, such as helping locate a lost child. “We want to be able to trust our kids,” Brauchler said. “It’s not about the ability for your son or daughter to reach into the outside world. It’s the ability of the outside world to reach into your son’s or daugh-

District Attorney George Brauchler ter’s.” Brauchler added that both departments have been surprised to learn how many young men are using these apps and becoming victims of older predators. “It’s not just the young girls that we’ve become so accustomed to hearing about,” he said. “A lot of them are young men, willing participants many of them, but understand, under our laws in Colorado, you don’t get to consent to that kind of contact at that age.” And just because there are teens, some as young as 14, who claim to be over 18, it doesn’t let adults using the apps to meet them off the hook. In fact, there are multiple investigations ongoing in Douglas County stemming from such alleged encounters. “You don’t get to rely on the fact that you have to be 18 or older by self-proclamation to be on this app,” Brauchler said. “That will not save someone who has engaged in conduct that is otherwise illegal with a minor. If you are going to prey upon on our children we will hold you accountable for it.” For information about specific apps that parents should watch for, go to dcsheriff.net or call the sheriff’s office at 303-660-7505.

As drought continues to plague the West, and with the memories of blazes that covered much of the state last summer still fresh, a group of lawmakers on March 21 announced their plans to introduce a bill to create an aerial firefighting fleet in Colorado. But what they don’t know yet is how much such a bold unReport dertaking would cost, or how they would pay for it. Four legislators told reporters during a Capitol press conference that wildfire season has already begun, and that Colorado can’t always rely on the federal government’s limited aerial fleet to come to its rescue, whenever massive fires break out. State Sen. Cheri Jahn, D-Wheat Ridge, said the federal government has slashed its firefighting air fleet over the years, leaving Colorado in a potentially precarious situation for this and future wildfire seasons. “They have an entire country to cover and that could be a very dangerous situation for Colorado,” Jahn said of the federal government’s role in fighting fires. “When we make that phone call to the federal government and say we need assistance, you hope they can show up.” Jahn was joined at the press conference by Democratic Senate President John
Morse and Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, both of Colorado Springs, as well as Republican Sen. Steve King of Grand Junction, who will co-sponsor the forthcoming legislation with Jahn. “Quite frankly, we are one lightning strike, one careless match throw, one terrorist, intentional match throw away from a catastrophic wildfire in Colorado,” King said. “God help us if that is in one of our watersheds.” But what no one was prepared to talk about was how much a wildfire aerial fleet is expected to cost. “Good question,” King said when a reporter asked about the price tag. “Next question,” quipped Cadman. King said that “we’re working on that,” saying they would need cost input from the Department of Public Safety, which would be in charge of the fleet. King also said that the department would “figure out” how many planes it would need. King also said lawmakers will look into receiving federal funding. Last year’s wildfire season in Colorado was particularly destructive. The Waldo Canyon Fire that started northwest of Colorado Springs in June destroyed more than 350 homes. Earlier that month, the High Park Fire in Larimer County burned more than 87,000 acres. And with current snowpack around the state sitting well below average, conditions are expected to be ripe for another unpre-App dictable and potentially damaging wildfire per season in Colorado this year.
Helicopter joined on March 21 to work on helicopter drops and the air-to-ground communications crucial to fighting wildfires, Richardson said. Firefighters on the ground communicate with the helicopter pilot, directing the location of an air strike. During training, tires placed on the ground provide a target for the pilot, who circles before opening the 300-gallon bucket dangling from the bottom of the helicopter. The pass gives the pilot a chance to gauge the effect of wind and weather patterns that could alter the direction the water sprays. The wind speed limit for training is about 35 mph, Richardson said. A 3,000-gallon pool of water provides water for the first few passes; a nearby retention pond is the source for remaining

Five charter schools eye Douglas County Publicly funded contract institutions gain popularity By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com The Douglas County School District received five letters of intent this month from would-be charter school developers. The letters came in response to DCSD’s March 15 deadline. “I’ve been doing this for about six years and this is probably the most applications we’ve received,” said DCSD’s director of charter school partnerships, Kindra Whitmyre. “I think charter schools are becoming more and more popular. I’m seeing an influx everywhere, not just in our district.” Charter schools are publicly funded, but operate independent of the district under a contractual agreement. They often are governed by parents and community members. To date, 12 such schools operate in DCSD. The district’s March application deadline is new, and designed to make the prospect of building
a school easier. DCSD successfully applied for a waiver to move its application window from the state-mandated fall timeline to spring, which gives schools a longer construction window. “Previously, charter schools would move into old buildings,” said Pat McGraw, DCSD’s development and innovation officer. “Now, a lot of them are building. When schools would try to do their application in the fall and open the next fall, it really wouldn’t give them enough time.” Along with John Adams High School and the K-8 Parker Performing Arts School, letters of intent were submitted for the K-8 World Compass Academy, K-8 Global Village Academy and Colorado Early Colleges high school. All the schools have Web pages operating or existing campuses they plan to replicate. The World Compass Academy’s mission statement says it inspires students to lifelong learning in a global community.

Colorado Early Colleges, already open in Colorado Springs, aims to make high school students “college-ready in less than two years,” according to its website. The letters of intent submitted
by the five schools are the first step on a long road. A 120-day process follows, during which the application is reviewed by a variety of district departments. District officials also interview proponents. Finally, the proposal goes to the school board for its review and a vote.
Charter creator proposes two more Applications submitted for K-8 performing arts, high school By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com The founder of Ben Franklin Academy believes he’s hit on a successful formula, one he hopes to replicate in a proposed charter high school and K-8 performing arts school. Jason Sanders submitted letters of intent to the Douglas County School District for John Adams High School and the Parker Performing Arts School. Sanders doesn’t have a site yet for either building, but he believes he can open the doors to both schools this fall. “We’re already showing strong enrollment for both Parker Performing Arts and John Adams,” said Sanders, adding he’s already spoken about the projects with Highmark School Development, the same company that helped finance Ben Franklin Academy. “Every indication is that it’s going to work out.” Prompted by a desire to provide a unique educational experience for his four children, Sanders and his wife Danielle helped found the Highlands Ranch-based Ben Franklin Academy. Open since fall 2011, the K-12 school has been so enthusiastically received that parents urged Sanders to con-
sider creating a high school. The idea wasn’t new to him; the timing was. “I honestly didn’t want to do a high school for a couple more years, but I had enough parents bug me about it that I decided to do it earlier rather than later,” he said. Sanders aims to replicate the environment at Ben Franklin. “We have created a program I think is very special,” he said. “I realize it won’t be easy. Teenagers are a different animal than younger kids. But I think most of the people that will be attracted have kids that have gone through (K-8) charter schools. They’re already used to that kind of culture.” Lone Tree seems a logical choice for the high school, Sanders said, because it’s easily accessible from both Interstate 25 and C-470. Similarly, Sanders said parents also encouraged him to investigate the idea of a performing arts school. The option doesn’t exist currently in Douglas County, Sanders said. The school’s mission, stated on its website, is to ensure students “excel academically through a challenging, data driven, differentiated, and technology-based curriculum … (and) excel artistically through training from passionate, experienced, and credentialed artists.” The targeted location is along Parker’s E-470 corridor.
“We’ve never turned an application down,” said Whitmyre, who was the principal of Colorado’s first charter, Academy Charter School, before moving to the district-level job. “What I understand and believe is our board and superintendent are very choicefriendly, and they’re always looking at different options to meet our students’ needs.” Charter schools don’t have taxing authority, but most qualify for Colorado Department of Education start-up grants. In exchange for building in high studentgrowth areas and reserving space for district students, DCSD has partnered with two other charter schools. It owns the land on which Castle Pines-based American Academy is building its second school in Parker. It’s allowing Aspen View to use the district’s credit to secure $14 million to build the school, now under construction in the Meadows neighborhood in Castle Rock. In 2012-13, 187 charter schools operate in Colorado, serving about 11 percent of the state’s total K-12 public school enrollment, according to the Colorado League of Charter Schools.

March 27, 1947 ~ March 8, 2013
March 28, 2013
11th-graders plan for college Students urged to prepare early By Jane Reuter
Charlie Stone, 66, of Sedalia, Colorado, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on March 8, 2013. Charlie was born in Fort Worth, Texas on March 27, 1946 to Jay & Iva Barbee Stone. He touched so many lives with his spirit and his desire to live life to the fullest extent that many of us will never experience in one single lifetime. Charlie worked as a sporting goods manufacturer’s representative for nearly 40 years and was an avid sportsman and outdoorsman. He was an early pioneer of bass tournament fishing in Texas where he won multiple team state championships. Charlie was an inductee of the Texas State Bass Tournament Hall of Fame. Charlie spent the last several decades of his life living in Colorado where he fell in love with his wife, Cathy. Charlie really enjoyed being in the mountains and spending his vacation time in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with his family and friends. Charlie loved music and would never
miss an opportunity to cut loose to a good song. He made friends everywhere that he went. Charlie was survived by his wife, Cathy Stone of Sedalia, Colorado - Son, Brian & Shelli Stone of Argyle, Texas - Daughter, Kelli & Michael Gooch of Wylie, Texas - Son, Eric and Laci Stone of Bayfield, Colorado – Daughter, Carrie & Bruce Thompson of Sedalia, CO. Charlie was preceded in death by his youngest son, Brandon Stone of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Grandchildren Kristen Gooch (15), Morgan Stone (11), Mason Gooch (10), Andrew Stone (9), Hanna Thompson (7), Ella Stone (6mo) - they will all miss their Papa Charlie. Per Charlie’s wishes, there will be no memorial service. His wish was to have his ashes spread over Land’s End in Cabo San Lucas. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking to make donations to American Cancer Society or the West Douglas County Fire Department in Sedalia, CO in Charlie’s memory.

jreuter@ourcolorado news.com “There is no such thing as senioritis,” Rock Canyon High School counselor Marlaine McMechend told an auditorium packed with juniors and their parents. “There is no goofing off your senior year.” Busting that myth just one bit of advice RCHS counselors offered during the school’s annual Junior Night last month, an evening designed to steer college-bound juniors successfully to their destination. RCHS is among high schools across the district that host such evenings. Nearly 88 percent of Douglas County students attend a two- or four-year college, and the process required to get there can be long and complicated. “We want juniors to empower themselves and take control of this process,” McMechend said. “The person that’s in the driver’s seat is the junior.” RCHS counselor Susan Young recommends students reserve three hours a week for it, starting the second semester of their junior year. That time should dedi-
Melanie Perea, who chairs the Rock Canyon High School counseling department, talks to juniors in a computer lab about services counselors can offer them as they plan for their futures. Courtesy photo cated to “doing all the tasks necessary to make a good selection,” she said. “It’s a lot of work,” Young said. “And it’s very timeconsuming.” All DCSD high-schoolers have access to Naviance, a computerized college and career planning program that allows students to explore careers, set goals and research colleges. For juniors, “Naviance is going to be your best friend,” Young said. Most college-bound high-schoolers take the ACT or SAT test during the junior year. Most colleges
accept either, but some only will accept one or the other. Young recommends students take both. But students are urged to go well beyond college-required testing by researching colleges and touring campuses, practice-writing college essays and finding scholarship opportunities. “The earliest college applications are due in October,” according to an article in the online Princeton Review that urged juniors to research colleges. “If you do not start now, no amount of scrambling in the fall will make up
for it.” At Legend High School, every student — regardless of their post-high school plans — is required to apply to a college; 97 percent of them go. Assistant Principal Danny Windsor also said researching colleges is vital. “It’s that idea of fit,” he said. “A lot of times, students end up finding jobs right in their college town or near it. So don’t only look at it as a college; could you see this as a lifestyle fit? “CU and CSU — those couldn’t be more different types of schools in terms of settings. Go see what it’s like to be at DU vs. a CU vs. a Colorado College.” The search for scholarships also can begin during junior year. “You can no longer say, `I can’t afford to send my kid to college,’” Young said. “That, to me, would be a tragedy. If you want to go to college, you can find a way.” As important as junior year may be, McMechend said senior year also carries significant weight. Many colleges now ask for mid- and final-senior year transcripts, even after they’ve accepted a student, she said, and if grades have fallen off dramatically enough, some have rescinded a student’s acceptance.
Career Connect invites students to explore By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Students registering for this spring’s Career Connect sessions are so far most curious about culinary arts and forensic science. Those are among 23 different job fields available for Douglas County high schoolers to explore during the evening events. The career exploration program is from 6-8 p.m. on Monday nights in April. The April 1 orientation is at Parker’s Chaparral High School, with careerspecific sessions at the individual businesses. In its fifth semester, the everlengthening menu of choices goes from A to V, including automotive technology, engineering, healthcare, law enforcement, construction management and veterinary medicine, among others. “A very common combination seems to be a session called `Top Chef
has to start somewhere’ and `CSI,’ or `What the coroner really does,’” said program coordinator Krista Zizzo. “The coroner’s session is proving to be very popular and is probably going to be one of the first to close.” The program has moved away from its original format, which required students to attend four-week tracks on specific careers. Now, they can choose a different career track each week, or opt to attend only one session out of the fourweek period. Employers have responded strongly to Zizzo’s call for representation. Among the new businesses in the loop this spring is DirecTV, a direct broadcast satellite service provider that has a broadcast center in Castle Rock. Director of broadcast operations Ron Sherrill says DirecTV’s processes jibe with the current educational emphasis on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). “That’s the basis of everything we’re
doing here,” he said. “We control over 2,500 channels out of here. We’re going to walk (students) through a beginning-to-end signal flow, how we receive our TV stations, how we put them back up to the satellite and down to the home.” Sherrill saw participation in Career Fo me o Connect as an opportunity. “We’re a part of the community,”listen he said. “We want to give back to the I l community. Part of the way to do itto fin right now is to let the students know It what they’re facing when they walk741 w out of a high school.

sues,” she said. A Colorado Court of Appeals threejudge panel ruled 2-1 that the voucher, or Choice Scholarship Program, is legal. It also said the plaintiffs lacked legal standing to bring suit, that the program doesn’t violate the state constitution’s requirement of a uniform system of free public schools and that it does not provide aid to religious schools. DCSD implemented the pilot program, allowing parents to use a portion of public school funds toward private school tuition, in March 2011. A Denver District Court judge ruled in August 2011 that the program violated the Colorado Constitution and school finance act, and the case was appealed. The appeals court said the state board of education is charged with enforcing the school finance act, not private citizens. Kleinkopf believes the district court got it right the first time. “The trial court found that taxpayers and the individual plaintiffs all
had the legal right to sue as taxpayers under the Colorado Public School Finance Act because, in fact, that is all about the proper disbursement of tax monies,” she said. “And we as taxpayers are being hurt by the violation of that statute. “It doesn’t make any constitutional or statutory sense at all to have the only party able to sue under statute being the very party that’s being sued for violations of the statute.” Kleinkopf also takes issue with the appeals court ruling that the program doesn’t violate the Colorado Constitution in giving public funds to religious institutions. But Michael Bindas, an attorney from the Institute for Justice who’s representing three of the voucher families, said the program is not religious in nature. Only one of his three clients chose a religious school “There are two critical components to a constitutional school choice program,” he said. “The first is that it has to be religion neutral, (that) religious and non-religious schools alike are free to participate in the program.

maintenance. Certainly, it wouldn’t be cheap. But we will applaud the legislators for bringing attention to and taking seriously the wildfire threat facing Colorado. The state needs more officials working toward solutions — not merely making speeches in the grim aftermath — when it comes to this issue. The burden is not on officials alone, however. We all play a role in wildfire prevention and safety. Make sure to take precautions like creating a “defensible space,” an area free from brush, around your home. If your city or county imposes open-burning restrictions in the months ahead, follow them. A year from now, we don’t want to look back at 2013 the way we do 2012.

would create a state aerial firefighting fleet. The bipartisan proposal is a response to the dry conditions in the state and to the federal government’s dwindling fleet of firefighting aircraft, which Colorado relies on for help with large blazes. “Quite frankly, we are one lightning strike, one careless match throw, one terrorist intentional match throw away from a catastrophic wildfire in Colorado,” said state Sen. Steve King, R- Grand Junction, who planned to be a sponsor of the bill. At this point, we can’t pass judgment on whether creating the fleet is the right way to go. The bill had not even been introduced as of press time. Further, the lawmakers shied away from answering questions on the program’s cost, which would include the initial funding plus

I have no idea what that means. “At the very end of `Eclipse,’ in the right channel, there is the faint sound of a Muzak version of the Beatles’ `Ticket to Ride.’” A lot of these tidbits can be picked up in the documentary, “The Making of The Dark Side of the Moon.” I recommend it. I was in my mid-20s when I spent that afternoon with Paige. I was a college student. I didn’t know what was going to happen to me, so there was a lot of apprehension. And there should have been. An art degree is notorious for being impractical and almost worthless to employers. To employers other than college and universities, which is where I landed for 30 years. I lifted the name of this column from one of the songs, “Time,” and Waters lifted the words from a Henry David Thoreau poem: “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.” It’s quite easy for me to become sentimental about “The Dark Side of the Moon.” It has been in a sidecar with me for the past 40 years. I haven’t always stayed on the road. One troubling night, I heard my old friend “Speak to Me.” Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone, the song is over Thought I’d something more to say.

Sometimes it is easy to become overwhelmed and super-focused with everything that we believe matters in our lives — our families, friends, job, school, and all of our stuff and all of our activities that we pursue or collect — that we forget to find time for a little “nothing.” Obviously “nothing” is not a fourletter word and it is not even a bad word. Sometimes we can all use a little “nothing” in our lives to balance out the hectic pace, madness, and maybe even a little of the drama that may be consuming us or that has crept into our world at the moment. Finding times to be quiet and allow “nothing” to invade our mind or our space could be really healthy at times. I know that some of you may be reading this laughing and saying that there is no way to find time to do “nothing,” and if I only knew just how much madness and pressure you face each day it would be ridiculous to even propose such a thing. And that would be exactly why I am recommending that you find some time to do “nothing.” Now when I say find the time to do “nothing,” I am in no way suggesting that it should become our complete lifestyle. Finding time for “nothing” could mean just a few minutes each day. Maybe it’s even the start to our day or found at the end of a busy day where we can decompress and allow the enjoyment of “nothing” to take over. For some folks the need for “nothingness” could happen in the middle of the day as an escape. I am not sure about you, but when I actually practice this principle of “nothing,” my world comes back into perspective, I find my center, experience peace, and in some way I am actually able to accomplish more than when I am in full-on scramble mode. And in those quiet moments of my

“nothing” I also seem to hear so much more from my heart and my head that brings clarity, less worry, and comfort to what may be happening around me. My “nothingness-filled” moments oddly enough also inspire and motivate me, even spark my creativity. When was the last time you gave yourself permission to do “nothing”? Was it a quiet moment found somewhere in your home or office? Maybe you enjoyed a few minutes of “nothingness” outside during a walk or hike. There is actually a spot that I ski to sometimes in the trees where hardly anyone else ever goes, I stop and, surrounded by the aspens and pine trees, in the stillness of the mountain, I take a few minutes of doing “nothing.” Again, “nothing” really does matter when taken in the right context. Not the sluggard or sloth type associated with laziness, but rather the freeing, energizing, and yet restful form of “nothingness” that helps us to get back to where we really want to be or need to be in our life. I would love to hear your thoughts on doing “nothing” at gotonorton@gmail.com and maybe our week filled with a few moments of “nothing” will lead us to having a better than good week.

The tax filing deadline for 2012 is right around the corner. Now that you are tired of looking at numbers and calculating deductions, don’t put everything away just yet. Now it is time to plan for 2013. The extension of the Bush-era tax cuts will not affect everyone equally. Don’t become complacent thinking you will not be impacted unless you make over $450,000. There were many changes put into law for the new tax code that could affect business owners, investors and households at certain income levels. Many changes did not catch the eye of the media, as the focus on the fiscal cliff was mostly on concerns of tax brackets returning back to pre-2003. However, more permanent language was inserted in the code that affects households with taxable income at $125,000 or higher. Consultants and self-employed business owners may see increases, especially if you are an S-Corp, LLC or Sole Proprietor — basically anyone whose business income is passed through to their personal tax return. This income could push you into a higher bracket or phase-out for IRA contributions, tuition deductions and possible loss of itemized deductions. New in 2013 is the increase in Medicare tax on anyone earning more than $200,000 this year. Also keep in mind there is no income cap on Medicare like there is on Social Security, which is $113,700 for 2013. Therefore you could be caught in the extra 0.9 percent added to your payroll tax on wages or business profits, even if you don’t take the profits out of the company. Beware also of the phase-out rules for certain exemptions. This includes education credits, personal exemptions and itemized deductions. Joint filers with over $125,000 taxable income start the phaseout on student loan interest. The American Opportunity Credit goes away starting at $80,000 for single filers and $160,000 for joint. The personal exemptions and itemized deductions start to phase-out on income over $250,000 for single filers and $300,000 for married taxpayers. There is also now an additional tax on investment proceeds. The Net Investment Income Tax (NII), also known as the
HigHlands R
Unearned Income Medicare Contribution Tax, became effective this January. This was passed as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. The 3.8 percent surtax on investment income will be assessed at $200,000 for single filers and $250,000 for married couples filing jointly. Rental income, annuity payments and capital gains may be included in the type of income taxed at the new rate. The most significant changes were on joint incomes over $450,000 where the highest bracket of 39.6% was reinstated as well as long-term capital gains and qualified dividends rates increasing to 20 percent. For this group of taxpayers, the above-mentioned phase-out rules could add another 2 percent to their taxes in addition to the added payroll and investment tax. Retirement plan contributions increased this year by $500, pushing 401(k) contributions up to $17,500 with a $5,500 catch-up provision for anyone age 50 or older. IRAs are now limited at $5,500 with another $1,000 for those over age 50. Small business owners may contribute up to $56,500 in their 401(k) plan depending on age and income.

POLICE BRIEFS Craigslist rental ads are scams
On March 9, a Castle Rock couple reported they placed a rental deposit on a home they found on Craigslist in the 1900 block of Hogan Court. The person they corresponded with through Craigslist told them he was offshore in Alabama and had them send a money order for a $1,175 security deposit to a person he said was his aunt in Florida. Later, the couple drove by the house to show it to a family member and found other people moving into the house. The other person told police he had rented the house for $1,800 per month. He was told by a real-estate agent that the owner of the home lives in the local area. On March 13, a Castle Rock woman reported she replied to an ad on Craigslist to rent a home, and sent a deposit of $880 to a Florida Western Union. She was initially promised keys in exchange for the deposit, and instead the man she was talking to told her his aunt wanted the first month’s rent before sending the keys. She told him she would not send any more money until she received the keys. He responded that his “hands were tied” and there was nothing he could do. Her last correspondence with him came five days after she sent her deposit, when she threatened legal action. Authorities believe the two cases are related.
Teens use bottle to smoke pot
Castle Rock police responded to a drug complaint in the 1000 block of Barbi Court and arrive to find four juveniles inhaling a substance from a Five Hour Energy Drink bottle. The juveniles, students at Douglas County High School, admitted to smoking marijuana out of the energy drink bottle. Officers found marijuana paraphernalia in their possession, but no additional marijuana. The teens received citations and officers were able to speak with parents for two of the juveniles. The mother of a third teen spoke only Spanish and officers were un-
able to contact the parents of the fourth teen.
iPad lifted, recovered at library
On March 11, a Castle Rock man reported he was at the Philip S. Miller library when he put his iPad down while checking out books at the self-help counter. He inadvertently left his device on the counter when he exited the building and did not realize it was missing until about 30 minutes later. He revisited the library to find no one had returned his iPad to librarians. He used ICloud.com to disable his device. About four hours after the device was reported missing, a man returned the iPad to the police department after finding it in a planter box at the library. The serial number and description of the iPad matched that on the device reported missing from the library earlier in the day. The owner recovered his device from police.
Suspicious break-in reported
On March 13 police received a report of a broken window at a home in the 2000 block of Baguette Drive. An officer arrived to find the window directly next to the front door broken, with a large hole next to the door handle. The house was cleared and no one was inside; all other doors were locked and windows closed; several laptops and electronic equipment were inside the residence. The homeowner was contacted and arrived to report nothing was missing from the home. She and her husband live alone and no one else has keys to the house; her son visits but does not live there. Neighbors reported seeing a green hatchback in the driveway earlier in the day. The owner does not know anyone who drives a vehicle matching that description. The officer checked the door handle for fingerprints but none was visible. The case remains open as a second-degree burglary and criminal mischief case.

The ‘ins and outs’ of home warranties
B
uying a home is arguably one of the largest purchases a person will make. It can also be one of the most stressful. Individuals take quite a financial leap when buying a home. Even after careful consideration of funds and budgeting, it’s easy to become overextended. A home warranty can take some of the bite out of unexpected expenses. Although home buyers are urged to hire an inspector and check a property and structure from top to bottom before signing on the dotted line, a home inspector cannot foresee everything that may crop up after a person moves into a home. “When my home inspector reviewed the property he found only minor things that needed attention,” says Jeannine in New Jersey. “After Imoved in, we shortly learned that the crawl space had flooding issues that would require a lot of money to fix properly.” Home warranties can be a smart investment that take some of the financial pressure off of new
homeowners. They can also be negotiated into the sale terms of the home so that the seller is responsible for providing the warranty to the new buyer. Home warranties do not negate the need for homeowner’s insurance, but they can add protection against large monetary pay-outs to repair many items around the house. Policies may differ as to specific coverage, but most home warranties will cover major systems of the home, such as heating/ cooling, plumbing, electrical, as well as certain appliances. To decide if a warranty is the right investment, home buyers should consider the following: * Home warranties are only as good as the company backing them. Careful investigation into the trustworthiness of the warranty company and its track record should be completed. * Read the fine print of the warranty. Learn what exclusions exist, which may not make the warranty practical. * Keep in mind that the warranty company reserves the right
to determine if a repair or replacement is adequate in a claim situation. * In general, warranty companies work with their own set of contractors. This means a homeowner may not be able to hire his or her own preferred contractors to do work. * There may be a deductible or a fee charged prior to having a technician assess a repair situation. * The warranty company may require inspection of the house to be sure items are in good working order before offering a plan. * If a warranty is offered through a home seller, there may be no negotiation on the coverage or company used. Home buyers should keep in mind that there are many unforseen expenses that can arise when purchasing a new home. Having some additional protection, such as a home warranty, could mean saving money on outof-pocket repairs. ■ Metro Creative Services

School aide says her job is a joy THINGS TO DO Former mechanical engineer finds calling in working with young people By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Karen Johnson’s vocation always has been to work with children. Having children of her own brought her to that realization. Johnson, an educational aide at Castle Rock’s South Ridge Elementary, was named School Employee of the Year during the Douglas County School District’s 2013 Apple Awards. She started her career far from the kindergarten classroom she now calls her office as a mechanical engineer. Johnson designed heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems, and created an emergency preparedness plan in the event of an attack or natural disaster at Lowry Air Force Base. Johnson was good at what she did, but she found her

bliss working with children. “I like to say I’m in recovery” from mechanical engineering, she laughed. “I just found I get such joy out of working with children.” Johnson discovered that passion working as a school, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Sunday school and Junior Achievement volunteer when her now-grown children were in school. Her youngest now is 21. “They’re all launched,” she said, Johnson “but I’m enjoying the time I get to spend with young kids; I still get my kid fix.” Johnson currently works with kindergartners, and likes sharing in their daily discoveries. “They’re a little squirrelly and everything’s new and everything’s exciting,” she said. “You can introduce them to so many new things.” It’s also a privilege, she said, to watch the youngest Douglas County students start their educational

journey. “Yes, they are really short people but they’re very individual,” she said. “Working with them in a social setting, seeing how they interact with each other, you see the qualities they might have as an adult. It’s fascinating.” South Ridge Principal Dena Gaddis said Johnson’s love of her job extends beyond the kindergarten classroom. “She’s one of the first to come in the morning, and one of the last to go,” she said. “Although she directly supports kindergarten, if there’s a need in the building, she’s the first one to fill it. If she sees something that needs to be done, she just quietly gets it done. I could never write a job description for everything she does.” Johnson isn’t taking on extra tasks out of a sense of obligation. She feels tied to South Ridge, which she describes as having a special energy. “Every day I go to work, I look forward to it,” she said. “I don’t think everybody can say that about their job.”

Celtic Tavern is best bet The Celtic Tavern at 1801 Blake St. is in its 13th year of doing business and is ready to branch out by providing Denver’s only Off Track Betting facility. “We have changed as the business grew,” said owner Noel Hickey, “by expanding in 2004 into the space next door, opening Delaney’s cigar bar and lounge. We are now ready for the next change. On April 6, we will open the only Off Track Betting facility in the City and County of Denver. “It will add excitement in both bars. We will open at 10 a.m. every day. On May 4, Kentucky Derby day, we will be hosting one of the biggest Derby day parties seen in Colorado. With the help of our friends at the Ninth Door and Vesta Dipping Grill, the Blake Street trifecta will be the place to be.”

One Lincoln Park problems
Museum embraces Parker history Longtime curator freqently changes displays for public By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com In a small room on the second floor of the Mainstreet Center, Parker’s history lives on. The stories of days past, of course, cannot be contained in one room, but it’s a good place for curious residents, many of them transplants, to start learning. The artifacts that fill the Parker Area Historical Society’s museum display cases tell their own tales, about a gas station in downtown Parker that served motorists for 40-plus years, about the town’s ties to mining, about the people who built some of the structures that still stand today. Helping to fill in the gaps is Larry Smith, a retiree who scours websites like eBay in search of Parker-related photos and relics. He has amassed a collection that fills a 40-by-40-foot barn, a place where visitors
would be wise to wear a hard hat, says Susan Smith, his wife. The collection has extended into oncevacant areas of the couple’s home southeast of town, and every few months, a lucky few items see the light of day. With a theme in mind, Smith rotates the artifacts in the museum display cases with great care. The museum receives roughly 15 visitors per week, mainly during the two-hour window that it’s open on Saturdays, from 10 a.m. to noon. It’s also open when there is a parade or other special event downtown, and there are high hopes for an increase in foot traffic. Margaret Brinker, a Parker resident since 1971, says it’s encouraging that people are still interested in protecting the town’s history. “It’s important to have a place to preserve memories,” she said. “Kids have no idea what life used to be like. To appreciate modern life, kids need to know recent history.” Brinker, a member of the historical society, adores the scale diorama of Parker circa 1918 on the first floor of the Mainstreet Center; it was too big to haul upstairs. She also enjoys seeing items such as the old-

fashioned hair curler, recently on display, that she says “looks like something out of a torture chamber.” The museum, which includes a replica of a schoolroom like the ones once housed in the Mainstreet Center, was created in 2003 by then-council member Dave Aldridge and longtime resident Jean Martin. Shortly thereafter, Smith became the acting curator, although he has plenty of help from volunteer docents. Smith never tires of recounting stories he has learned through his hours of research, but points out that some people are more interested than others. “There are people who look in and see a bunch of junk and spend two minutes in here, and then there are people who can spend two hours,” he says. Smith is always on the lookout for more artifacts from Parker’s early days, especially those related to barbershops, medical practices and farms. His collection of pressing irons, not just ones from Parker, is estimated to be more than 900. “If you ask my wife, I’m a hoarder,” Smith says with a laugh. Anyone with historic Parker photos or artifacts to donate or sell should email Smith at wandyneswood@netzero.net.

Jefferson Bible on display at museum Rare national treasure comes to History Colorado Center By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews. com In 1820, after serving two terms as president, Thomas Jefferson, age 77, was living at his home, Monticello, reading and thinking. He determined to organize a Bible with materials from four translations — English, French, Latin and Greek — that he wanted included in a single volume that would chronologically trace the life and moral teachings of Jesus, as he understood them. It was not printed then, but was more like a scrapbook. He clipped pages and excerpted passages, creating his own Bible by hand. He called it “The Life
and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth.” The finished product was bound in red Moroccan leather with gold tooling. Material sent from the Smithsonian said that Jefferson had no intention of publishing this volume. He realized his unorthodox views would offend some religious authorities and could be used against him by political opponents. The book stayed with his family until the Smithsonian’s librarian purchased it from Carolina Randolph, Jefferson’s great-greatgranddaughter, in 1895. In 1904, lithographic reproductions were made for members of Congress.

success helps build Legend program 89 players tried out for four teams this spring By Jim Benton
sports@ourcoloradonews.com Parker — In 2009, when Scott Fellers gave his first signals from the coaching box for the Legend baseball program, he had 20 players divided into two teams and everybody played in every scheduled game. This spring, there were 89 players trying out for the four teams in the Titans program. Success, it seems, is inviting. After going 3-8 in its first season in the Class 5A Continental League in 2011, Legend tied for the league championship last spring and the Titans were second in the state tournament. “Every year, we’ve built another piece for those kids that have stayed with us,” Fellers said. “We’re finally at the point now where we are deep.” Deep enough to be one of the preseason favorites in the Continental League along with Chaparral, Regis Jesuit, ThunderRidge and Mountain Vista. “Our league is pretty deep,” Fellers said. “From top to bottom with our top six or seven teams, it is a fight every game.” Legend heads into this season with renewed confidence after a 19-7 campaign in 2012 that saw the Titans win league extrainning road games in 16, 10, and nine innings, and then come within one game of
claiming the Class 5A state championship. Regis beat unbeaten Legend to force a championship game against Cherry Creek in the double elimination state tournament. Cherry Creek, which had lost to the Titans earlier in the tournament, won the title game, 6-0. “We always say in terms of coaching, your season is usually done May 3 if you don’t make the playoffs,” Fellers said. “We went until May 26. It gave us more weeks of practice, preparation and playing highly intense games where you learn from that. “It was kind of a deer in the headlights when we played Creek the second time. We beat Creek the first time we played them. That kind of woke us up to say we can compete with these guys. The longer we went in the tournament, helped us realize we can compete with people. Going into this year, we have a lot more confidence. The confidence is there, the experience is there and it will help our program.” Legend has six starters back but lost 19 pitching victories with the graduation of Brooks Trujillo, Jake Jenkins and Tyler Honahan. However, versatile returning All-State player Bobby Dalbec, Legend’s all-time batting leader, will assume the role as the Titans’ No. 1 starter and will also play shortstop. “I was the ace my freshman and sophomore years,” said Dalbec, who has signed to play for Arizona next year. “It might take a game or two to get back into being a starter, but I think I’ll be fine. My arm feels real

good. “I think we can get back this year to where we were and win it. Our lineup is stronger and balanced. We don’t have a power pitcher necessarily, but we have a lot of pitchers who can handle themselves. We were underdogs last year. We’ve always been underdogs since this school started. I think we’re going to turn people’s heads again.” Senior Mickey Templeton, one of the state’s best defensive catchers, feels the Titans’ non-league schedule will get the team ready for Continental League play and another possible state tournament appearance. “We’ll compete,” Templeton said. “We have a lot harder schedule this year.

We’re going to have to prove ourselves again. The target we have on our backs and the schedule we have at the beginning of the year, we have to push through that and learn from that. “We had a great season last year, but at the end we failed, so that’s something we can use to get right back where we were and try to change the story.” Legend is off to a slow 1-4 start this season and Regis is 1-2 in the early going. Chaparral has yet to play a game, ThunderRidge is 2-0 and both teams are heading to Arizona this week. Mountain Vista could be a team that should also contest, as the Golden Eagles have been impressive in winning their first two games.

Good oversees the Castle Rock branch, notable for its more traditional library ambiance. Situated in what was formerly a grocery store, the Philip S. Miller branch experiences high use of its community meeting rooms, which are available throughout the district for nonprofits, businesses and individuals. The library’s hushed atmosphere caters to patrons who make use of the free Internet access on a bank of public computers, study tables equipped with electrical outlets and private study rooms that are routinely reserved.

Trustee protocol may change Douglas County’s libraries have been bracing for a change amid a move by county commissioners to take control of the appointment process for library trustees. Commissioner Jill Repella said the change is to create a link between the district and a board of elected officials. The resolution to change the appointment process was expected at the March 26 commissioners’ meeting. Visit us online at www.ourcoloradonews. com for an update from that decision.

about the library district The Douglas County Library District has seven branches: Castle Pines, Philip S. Miller in Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Louviers, Parker and Roxborough. • Annual circulation: 8,055,060. • Annual program attendance: 230,908. • Annual story time attendance: 108,378. • Annual foot traffic: 2,052,749. • Number of resident library patrons: 207,353, or 71 percent of the county’s population. • Non-resident cardholders: 20,022. • National circulation per capita average: 7 percent 8 percent • Douglas County Libraries circulation per capita average: 28 percent. • Annual website visits: 2,154,466 Source: Douglas County Library District ians from different branches consider themselves part of a large family. “We’re like brothers and sisters,” said Patti Handby, branch program liaison at Philip S. Miller. “We all love each other and we all come from the same family, but we are different according to the demographics that we serve.” The differences are distinguished by the library’s changing role in the community, Walker said. As residents continue to change the way they absorb information, the library is changing with them, she said.
Siblings Peyton, left, and Logan Gilbert, of Conifer, play chess at the Highlands Ranch library. The family meets at the library a few times a week; it is within walking distance of their Douglas County school.

beyond (a literary resource) to educate and entertain and help make people’s lives better, in whatever way that’s going to be. Some folks are looking to pull themselves up by the bootstraps,
gain a skill, expand their education. Others are looking for entertainment. What I love about public libraries is we’re equipped to make their life better, regardless of what they’re seeking.”

Students make wish across county lines Elizabeth High School junior helped by fundraiser By rhonda Moore
rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com Michelle Brocki knew her knee was hurting, but experience led her mother to believe she injured it during color guard practice. Brocki, 17, felt pain in her right leg in November 2011 and by the following February, it was unbearable. In March 2012, she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer. Within seven days of diagnosis, she began chemotherapy. In the months that followed, Brocki and her mother, Cate Brocki, relocated to the Denver metro area to live in Brent’s Place, a home for cancer patients and families undergoing treatment. It was the best option to be closer to Brocki’s treatment hospital, eliminating the daily trips from Elbert County. It would be nearly a year before they would return home. By then, Brocki had a new knee, new tibia and was about to meet some new people courtesy of a Douglas County High School student. Christian Paschke, co-president of the DCHS student body, led his school on a Make-A-Wish Foundation fundraiser in hopes of making it an annual event.
Paschke feels he got lucky when the foundation matched his fundraiser with Brocki. “When she heard we were going to sponsor her, she was always smiling and proud she could inspire our school to do something for a good cause,” Paschke said. “She’s just happy she got to be a part of it.” The high school hoped to raise about $8,000, enough to grant Brocki’s wish to see Disney World for the first time. Instead, it raised $12,000 and will be able to grant a wish for a second child. “Everyone was surprised at how much we were raising,” Paschke said. “Kids were stunned, blown away by how much our school could do.” Michelle calls the DCHS students “awesome and amazing” and plans to take Sarah Postma, her best friend since first grade, with her on the Disney trip. Brocki is back in school and back at color guard practice, with barely a bump in her daily routine. Her biggest challenge since returning to school? “Nothing really,” she said with a smile. “Outside of being tired and my leg hurting once in a while, I like to be out and about.”
