Council’s influence growing in regionOfficials serve on variety of metro-area committeesBy Jane [email protected]

Lone Tree council members carry clout that extends well beyond the city limits. Four of the five serve on or chair boards of other metro-area organizations, commit-ments that not only come with responsibil-ity, but require hours of additional volun-teer time.

Mayor Jim Gunning chairs the Metro Mayors Caucus. Mayor Pro Tem Jackie Millet is treasurer for the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG), and a governor-appointed board member of the Regional Air Quality Council (RAQC).

Councilmember Susan Squyer chairs the Cherry Creek Basin Water Quality Authority.

Councilmember Harold Anderson leads the Centen-nial Airport Noise Round-table.

That accounts only for the committees in which council members hold leadership positions.

All five, including newest Council Member Kim Mon-son, are required to serve on three or four committees outside their elected city post.

“I don’t think people understand the time commitment it takes to be a coun-cil member or mayor,” said Gunning, who also counts the C-470 Corridor Coalition and FasTracks Task Force among his many committees.

“What happens in the metro area and our region has a big impact on us,” he said. “If we weren’t participating with the C-470 Coalition, we wouldn’t have any input into how it would work for Lone Tree. If I wasn’t on the FasTracks Task Force, keeping the southeast extension front and center in people’s minds, maybe it would have drift-ed off.”

Gunning estimates his council and com-mittee work adds up to about 40 hours a week. That’s in addition to his full-time job as a United Airlines pilot. Millet, a civil en-gineer, says her time investment is at least 25 hours a week. She said she feels honored to serve on DRCOG and RAQC.

“I enjoy working on city stuff because you get into more of the nuts and bolts,” said Millet, a civil engineer. “But I also enjoy the bigger picture view of the region. You really need to put your parochial hat aside and figure out what makes sense for the re-gion. I think my analytical background has certainly helped me there.”

Squyer is the first woman to chair the Cherry Creek Basin Water Quality Author-ity. It’s a role in which she would never have imagined herself, but as a self-de-fined “lifelong learner,” she relishes a fresh challenge. Construction in Lone Tree’s RidgeGate development elevates the city’s role in the authority, which protects water quality in the reservoir that extends from

Photographers share magic in showExhibit runs until June at Lone Tree Arts CenterBy Jane [email protected]

Photographer Kristal Kraft feels a passion for nature that alters her perception of time.

“I could sit in one spot all afternoon shooting flowers around me,” said the Lone Tree photographer and real estate agent. “If it’s pretty, you’re not eating. You’re not doing any-thing, just capturing the light, taking pictures.”

Kraft’s photo of a Steamboat Springs-area schoolhouse will be among those featured at this year’s Lone Tree Photo Show, on display at the Lone Tree Arts Center from April 20 to June 9.

Kraft found kindred spirits in the Lone Tree Photography Club, co-presenters of the show along with the Lone Tree Arts Commission and Scientific and Cultural Facilities District.

Fellow club member and

photographer Doug Bennett uses similar terms to describe the joy he finds in photography and the outdoors.

“The appeal is to just get out there and enjoy nature,” he said. “The photography side of it makes you really slow down and absorb what’s there.”

Bennett, a Colorado Springs resident whose work is sold in some of the city’s art galleries,

also is a landscape photogra-pher. His image of cattle and aspen at the base of 14,000-foot Mount Wilson will share wall space with Kraft’s and 91 other images during the show.

Bennett set up his equip-ment well before sunrise the day he took the featured shot.

“What I like about the scene is it really represents the height of Colorado,” he said. “The cows look very small. The aspens look very tall, but once you get to the top of the aspens, you’re only a third of the way up into the image, and here’s the towering Fourteener of Mount Wilson.”

The scene Kraft captured also was not happenstance; the weather that lent it its magi-cal quality was. Kraft and two photographer friends went to Steamboat Springs to shoot, waking before sunrise to cap-ture the best light.

“This particular morning, it was real cloudy and foggy,” she said. “We grabbed our cameras anyway and went out. Every-thing was crystallized and en-cased in ice. We were just going wild. Everywhere we looked was

beautiful.”The old one-room school-

house in its alpine setting took Kraft back to her childhood.

“All I could think of was snow day, which was the happiest day of a kid’s life,” she said.

Bennett, a contract consul-tant at Air Force Space Com-mand, says the search for the perfect photo is always reward-ing.

“Sometimes you go out there and you get skunked,” he said. “Nonetheless, being out there where it’s nice and still and qui-et, and you’re all alone, that in and of itself is neat.”

The Photo Show opens with a cocktail reception from 3-5 p.m. April 20 at the arts center. Guests are invited to meet the photographers, sample hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, enjoy a string quintet performance by the Lone Tree Symphony Orchestra, and purchase origi-nal works of juried images and photographers’ bin work im-ages. They also can cast their vote for the People’s Choice Award, awarded at the close of the show.

Colorado Springs resident Doug Bennett’s “Girl Scout Road” won first place in the 2011 Lone Tree Photo Show. He will have a new work on display for the 2013 event. His work is sold in some Colorado Springs art galleries. Courtesy photo

Sign language speaks of community Nadelle Payne, a high school teacher

of American Sign Language, can go all day without talking to someone other than her students.

She is deaf.“I can pass people in the hall and say

`Hi,’” she says through an interpreter. “But not a conversation.”

So, on a recent Saturday, she and about 25 other deaf women and men, including high school and college students studying ASL, gathered at a Starbucks in Highlands Ranch to talk.

The conversations — lively, graceful, expressive — continued for hours.

Fingers moved swiftly.Arms glided, up and down, back and

forth.Emotion danced across animated faces.All of it, together, words without sound

spinning eloquent stories, woven in a warmth born of shared community.

“To immerse ourselves in our own language” is a gift, a reprieve from the iso-lation that comes with being deaf, Payne says. “Hearing people can talk every day, on the phone … all the time. We talk when we have someone to sign with.”

The monthly Starbucks gathering is one of many in the area designed to nurture connection and fellowship among a popu-lace defi ned by its unique communication and culture.

There are deaf social chats at restau-rants in Boulder and Castle Rock, silent bowling nights at an alley in Lone Tree, festivals and ASL performances at Rocky Mountain School for the Deaf in Lake-wood, an ASL haunted house night during Halloween, a deaf social chat in Superior, a meeting for deaf senior citizens in Denver.

“It is like you are going to deaf Mecca where there are all deaf native signers,” says Michelle Stricklen, an ASL instructor at Front Range Community College who is deaf.

“It is,” she says in an email, “phenom-enal to me.”

Pam Meadows, a Castle Rock resident and California transplant who has been deaf since birth, started the monthly socials at the Highlands Ranch Starbucks about 2½ years ago.

“We come here to socialize,” she says through her friend Dawn Davies, a Little-ton schools counselor who is not deaf and is interpreting. “But it also helps ASL students so they can experience what deaf people are like.”

Davies, who began learning to sign in fi rst grade, attends many of these events to visit with friends.

But as a school counselor she also helps introduce fi rst-timers, particularly stu-dents, to the group. “I like to help bridge the gap a little bit.”

A handful of high school students from Castle Rock and Highlands Ranch are here this day. It is their second visit. They come to practice signing, but they’ve picked up on some other aspects of deaf culture, too.

“They’re really close,” Shawna Dough-ten says.

“You can talk across the room,” Makayla Elms says with a smile.

“They’re not different,” Paige Luke says. “Other people think they’re handicapped, but they’re not.”

The three teens, along with Kayla Hen-drickson from Castle Rock, have fallen in love with the language.

“It’s just so expressive,” Hendrickson says. “I love how it’s really metaphoric … how you can kind of get creative with it.”

“When you’re describing stuff, you’re

supposed to try to create a picture,” Elms says.

“You use a lot of motion,” Luke says.The language is actually more straight-

forward, points out Jazelle Edwards, 9, here with her mother, who is deaf. She is not, though. “You don’t have to say the little words,” such as “and” and “the.”

“Sign language is so much fun to talk,” says Clay Amos, who with his fi ancee Ivy Oswald recently moved from Pennsylva-nia. They’ve come to meet new people. Although both are deaf, Amos can lip read and speak; Oswald has a cochlear implant, which allows her to hear, and she can speak.

“It’s feelings,” Amos says about signing. “It makes you laugh.”

“It is,” Oswald says with a smile, “theat-rical.”

And just like a spoken language, it has tones and accents, the students say. “People have tones with their voice,” Hen-drickson says. “You kind of have a tone of your sign. Everyone signs differently.”

George Veditz, former president of the National Association of the Deaf, said this about sign language in 1913: “It is my hope that we will all love and guard our beautiful sign language as the noblest gift God has given to deaf people.”

And it is beautiful. To watch people sign is to watch stories unfold like the lyrical melody of a song.

You can sense the happiness, the sad-ness, the excitement, the disappointment — even when you don’t know what the signs mean.

But that inability to understand often creates discomfort among those who can’t communicate back, similar to being in a country whose language is not your own.

“Many people are intimidated by us,” Payne acknowledges. “It takes a lot of effort for hearing people to communicate” with those who can’t hear.

Stricklen tells the story of asking a fl ight attendant for a menu and being given one

in Braille. “I told her, `No, I just need regu-lar.’ Am I blind?”

At the other end of the spectrum, Payne says, “we are afraid we will be misunder-stood.”

The key, as with anyone who doesn’t know your language, is to try.

“We like having friends,” Payne says. “We like it when people make an effort to try and communicate.”

On this day, around the tables in the coffee shop, the barriers are down.

Two women stand by the door, lost in conversation, eyes focused on each other’s signs.

Next to them, Makayla Elms and Paige Luke are signing with little Jazelle and her older brother.

Nearby, Payne, Davies and Meadows are in deep conversation with a group clus-tered in chairs. And at the tall table across the way is Oswald, hands moving, fi ngers working, animated as she and Amos sign with new friends.

A peacefulness of sorts quietly connects them all.

They are, in a sense, home.Watch, and listen carefully. The silence

speaks loudly.

County cleans up at economic awards Growth, innovation lead to honors By Ryan Boldrey [email protected]

Douglas County continues to make noise on the economic front, pulling in three top awards at the Economic Development Coun-cil of Colorado annual awards banquet.

County Commis-sioner Jill Repella was named volunteer of the year; Amy Sher-man, president of the Northwest Douglas County Economic Development Cor-poration, took home rookie of the year honors; and Arapa-hoe/Douglas Works! picked up the partner of the year award for its innovative work.

The volunteer award that Repella picked up April 4 in Colorado Springs is the only award that an elected offi cial is eligible for.

“Jill has a very pro-business atti-tude,” said John Cody, EDCC chair-man. “She was recognized specifi cally

for her role in economic development, as well as her fundamental belief in the role of government to facilitate and foster a fertile business environment and her contribution to the passage of the Colorado Jobs Act last year.”

Repella said the real award to her was people getting back to work in Douglas County.

“Six thousand, three hundred new jobs were brought into Douglas Coun-ty’s jurisdiction in the past year and about 3,500 of those were brand new jobs,” she said. “From my perspective that’s 3,500 families that were able to provide for themselves … I only hope that trend continues.”

Sherman, who founded the NDCEDC in November 2011, was honored for bringing in 25 new inves-tors in the organization’s fi rst year, including Douglas County, Sterling Ranch, Wind Crest, The Highlands Ranch Community Association, IREA, First Bank and numerous other heavy-weights from the region.

“Northwest Douglas County is primed for some really great future development,” Sherman said.

“This is really a big piece of it, and with Sterling Ranch in our future and Highlands Ranch being a great, estab-lished suburban community creating more jobs all the time, we have some great focus on us right now that is needed.”

Sherman also serves on the board

of directors for the Roxborough Busi-ness Association and on the nearby Lamb Spring Archaeological Preserve.

“To somewhat change professions and start a brand-new organization while contributing signifi cantly to-ward economic development efforts, representing not only her region, we thought Amy was well-deserving of the award,” Cody said.

Cody said the Arapahoe/Douglas Works! award was really refl ective of years of exemplary work in connect-ing a skilled workforce with employers and more.

“They’ve done some cutting-edge things to help make the Colorado economy successful,” he said.

This past year, ADW helped the Denver South Economic Develop-ment Partnership with site selection data that resulted in location and ex-pansion of Arrow Electronics, Red-wood Trust and Charles Schwab. They also helped with staffi ng for Connex-tions, TriZetto, Blockbuster, Kaiser Permanente and Gordon Composites, to name a few.

“I think it is an affi rmation of the work my staff does in realizing both the supply side and the demand side of the economy,” said Joe Barela, re-gional director for ADW. “In this envi-ronment, the worst thing you can do is not to be connected. We bring people together to make sure there is a good match.”

Arc opens donation station in Lone Tree Drop-o� site housed in former post o� ce substation By Jane Reuter [email protected]

When Thelonious Bone isn’t writ-ing receipts for thrift store donors, he often can be found on stage playing bass guitar. Bone, the welcoming face at the new Arc Thrift Stores donation station in Lone Tree, also is a profes-sional musician.

Arc opened its donation station March 29 in the space recently vacat-ed by the Lone Tree Post Offi ce substa-tion.

Bone’s musical talents led him to his new job in Lone Tree. Already a member of several other metro-area groups, he was invited to play in the nonprofi t agency’s band, the Bluebird Arc-estra. The band’s three horn play-ers, two saxophonists, a trombonist, drummer and guitarist play about once a month, typically on Saturdays in Arc stores, and touch every genre from funk to country.

“We just did the St. Patrick’s Day parade, and had a couple kids come out and rap with us,” he said. “We don’t usually do rap, but that’s what the kids know.”

The idea of the band is “to promote Arc, and get more people informed as to what’s involved.”

When Bone learned of the day job

opening, he happily took it.“This is a really cool company,” he

said. “It’s not only helping by recycling,

but by giving people opportunities.”ARC will accept a broad variety

of items there; what it can’t use in its stores, it recycles, Bone said.

Hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and Sunday, and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday.

Arc is a nonprofi t organization

whose mission is to improve the lives of developmentally disabled people and their families. Arc operates 20 thrift stores in metro Denver, Fort Collins, Greeley, Loveland, Colorado Springs and Pueblo.

Proceeds generated through the sale of donated clothing and house-hold items are distributed to Arc chapters and the Association for Com-munity Living (ACL) throughout Colo-rado.

ACLU nudges voucher case forwardTwo groups petition Colorado Supreme Court to block programBy Jane [email protected]

The American Civil Liberties Union took the next step in the process of moving the Douglas County school voucher case to the Colorado Supreme Court on April 11.

The ACLU and Americans United for Separation of Church and State filed a peti-tion asking the court to accept the case. It also asked the court to overturn the recent Colorado Court of Appeals ruling uphold-ing the Douglas County School District’s pilot program.

The lower court ruled in a split decision Feb. 28 that the district’s Choice Scholar-ship Program is constitutional, and said the plaintiffs lacked standing to file a suit alleg-ing otherwise.

Americans United attorney Alex Luchenitser said the appeals court’s ruling isn’t as significant as that of the Denver Dis-trict Court in August 2011, which declared the program unconstitutional.

“The Supreme Court was going to have the final word on this, no matter how the Court of Appeals ruled, so the Court of Ap-peals ruling really isn’t that important,” he said. “The Supreme Court doesn’t have to give any deference to anything the Court of Appeals did. It does have to give deference to the factual findings of the trial court. So we were disappointed (by the Court of Ap-peals ruling), but we’re not sure how much difference it’s going to make.”

The pilot program initiated in March 2011 granted a limited number of Douglas County students state school funding to use at private schools, most of which were re-ligious. Proponents say it broadens educa-tional options for students, but opponents say it blurs the line that separates church and state and pulls funding from traditional schools.

Though the program has been suspend-ed since the 2011 ruling, the DCSD school board remains confident they ultimately will prevail.

“The ruling (from the Colorado Court of Appeals) was a huge victory for the students and parents of Douglas County and we are confident that the court will once again reject the arguments made by the ACLU,” board president John Carson wrote in an emailed statement. “We know that each student learns differently, and our goal is to provide every parent with the opportunity to choose the best possible educational en-vironment for their child. The Choice Schol-arship Program will give our students one more choice to achieve educational success and to prepare for the exciting opportuni-ties that lie ahead in (the) 21st century.”

Carson recently said he was encouraged by the Indiana Supreme Court’s decision to uphold a similar program there, but attor-neys for the plaintiffs say there are impor-tant differences between the two cases.

“First of all, Colorado’s constitutional provisions are much stricter than Indiana’s in terms of prohibiting public funding of religious schools,” Luchenitser said. “There also are factual differences between these two programs.”

The Indiana program included both re-ligious and non-religious schools, but in Douglas County’s version, options for high school students — except for those with special needs — are limited to religious schools.

“This program favors religious schooling over non-religious,” Luchenitser said, “and gives parents incentives to enroll their chil-dren in religious schools.”

Attorneys representing Douglas County families who originally received vouchers says the program’s design keeps schools and government separate, ensuring its con-stitutionality.

A separate suit against DCSD and the Colorado Department of Education was filed by the nonprofit Taxpayers for Public Education; the trial court consolidated the two.

County strikes deal for fire helicopter O� cials can call for exclusive use when needed By Ryan Boldrey [email protected]

It was 2010 when Douglas County fi rst signed an agreement with Castle Rock-based Rampart Helicopter Services, using the company on an as-needed, on-call ba-sis to provide aid in wildland fi refi ghting.

On April 9, the county commissioners unanimously approved a new contract that allows the county to shift from a call-when-needed basis to an exclusive-use situation for a minimum of 30 days whenever it sees fi t.

“Up until today, if the helicopter were in Castle Rock and were available we could call them and use them specifi cally for wild-land fi refi ghting,” said Tim Johnson, Doug-las County director of emergency manage-ment. “The problem with that contract, though, was that they were not obligated to stay if they had other work and other obli-gations.

“These guys have contracts all over the western United States on a call-when-needed basis, so they could literally be in Montana doing work for the forest service or a utility company under contract, and a fi re could break out in Douglas County and they would be unavailable to us.”

By placing Rampart under exclusive use, it gives Douglas County the upper hand, and the service is guaranteed to be on stand-by and ready to go when needed.

County Manager Douglas DeBord used his authority to sign an agreement with

Rampart April 1, placing them under ex-clusive use through May 1, at which point federal resources are available. Those re-sources remain available through Oct. 1.

The problem with relying on federal re-sources, Johnson explained, is that they are

extremely limited, and Colorado is just one of the states that receive money allocated for the Rocky Mountain Region.

“If our fi res are not high enough on the priority list some of those resources may not be available to us,” he said.

Last year, for instance, with federal mon-ey coming into the state already to assist with Waldo Canyon and High Park, a Doug-las fi re the equivalent of the 2011 Burning Tree blaze might not have even drawn as-sistance from the feds. And if Rampart was somewhere else under contract, the county may have been left without aerial support.

“It’s kind of like an insurance policy,” Johnson said.

“With the increased fi re danger and in-crease in intense fi res that we’ve seen the last few years, we looked at this and said, `We really need to have something to help us through the periods when we know our federal partners are not available.’ We want to be able to immediately react.”

As a bipartisan bill works its way through the state Senate to provide Colorado with its own aerial fl eet, Johnson says he is ex-cited about the possibility, but that Douglas County needs to be proactive to make sure it is covered regardless of what happens with the Legislature.

“We’ve needed more resources here in Colorado for a long time,” he said. “I think this bill is a good step forward. The fact it is being talked about is a very positive thing.”

Commissioners sign C-470 contract for up to $3 million Money previously appropriated to pay for design, other work By Ryan Boldrey [email protected]

Douglas County has entered into a con-tract not to exceed $3.07 million with Wil-son & Company Inc. to advance improve-ments for the C-470 Corridor.

The contract, signed by the county com-missioners April 9, will enable Wilson to go ahead with the preliminary design of the ex-pansion between Interstate 25 and Kipling Road, as well as survey the project and con-duct an environmental re-evaluation that is needed before construction can begin.

Douglas County is just one of the enti-ties along the corridor chipping in to get the project rolling, and Art Griffi th, the county’s capital improvements projects manager, said he expects fi nal approval for the proj-ect to take place next February.

“Essentially this contract outlines $3.07 million of engineering services,” he said. “These are the next critical steps that are needed to advance the coalition’s efforts.”

The money for the investment is being

taken out of the county’s road sales and use tax fund, in which $10 million was set aside for C-470 in the 2012 budget. Only $2 mil-lion was spent or encumbered last year, so the remainder was reappropriated as part of the 2013 budget. The actual project itself is expected to be paid for by the tolling of the new lanes, as was decided by the coali-tion this February.

“This is a unique situation because we are working with a coalition that includes our neighboring jurisdictions along the C-470 corridor,” said Commissioner Jill Repella. “It is also unique because we are working with CDOT.”

The coalition is also exploring apply-ing for RAMP (Responsible Acceleration of Maintenance and Partnerships) funding with the state department of transporta-tion, and Griffi th said CDOT could contrib-ute between $265 million and $350 million if accepted. Deadlines for applications are May 1.

“With all the economic development that is going on in the northern part of the county, it is very important that we be pro-active and really move forward, so I certain-ly support engineering’s approach on this,” said Commissioner Roger Partridge.

Ketchup, soy sauce share Lone Tree tableHot dog eatery owners tap into diverse backgroundsBy Jane [email protected]

The condiments at Lone Tree’s Chicago’s R-Dogs restaurant in-clude ketchup, mustard and soy sauce — a clear indication this is not an ordinary Vienna beef sand-wich shop. It just may be the first to offer customers a taste of the East along with the most American of foods.

But Joseph and Xin Pei Radford, who happily crossed cultures in their marriage, are applying that successful formula to their busi-ness.

The couple, who owns the res-taurant at The Crest apartment complex on Park Meadows Drive, recently added a separate Chinese-food menu. The combination is pe-culiar only until the owners reveal their roots: Joseph is a Denver na-tive, and Xin Pei was born in China.

While living in China, Xin Pei earned a degree in hotel/restau-rant management, which sparked a dream to open her own Chinese

restaurant. She met and married Joseph, who set about making her dream come true. The couple moved to Parker about two years ago.

“Originally, we were only going to do a Chinese place, but we found this opportunity,” Joseph said. “I asked her, `Would you be interested

in doing something a little differ-ent’?”

Xin Pei was. But she didn’t set aside her original dream.

Two months ago, the Radfords debuted the Chinese menu with the name Asian Smiles. It’s kept separate from the Chicago’s R-Dogs menu, and since the sign outside

the restaurant doesn’t yet advertise the addition, the option is a sur-prise for many customers.

“The clientele are coming here for that particular reason — the Chicago-style sandwich,” Joseph said. “If you’re coming in for a Chi-cago dog, you’re not thinking of Asian. Some of the customers at first raised an eyebrow, but most were receptive. I would say it’s been a positive experience for the cus-tomers.”

Often, Xin Pei said, “Children like the hot dogs. Parents like Asian. So they do a mixed order.”

For now, the two will stay dis-tinct. But partially inspired by their dark-haired, cherubic 2-year-old daughter, they admit to pondering possibilities.

“We don’t want to alienate the Chicago customer or the Asian cus-tomer, but we’re trying to think if people would be receptive to mix-ing it up,” Joseph said.

Based on the success of sesame chicken, Xin Pei thinks customers might have a taste for sesame hot dog. Perhaps even sweet-and-sour or orange hot dog.

It’s an idea Joseph said may not bear the traditional fruit.

“But it can bear fortune cookies,” he said.

“Cabela’s was one of the first projects in the city that was actually in the (Cherry Creek) watershed,” Squyer said. “The fact that devel-opment is now moving into the watershed will make it more important to us to understand what’s going on with water quality.”

Harold Anderson’s work on the Centennial Airport Noise Roundtable involves hearing and attempting to address complaints about aircraft noise.

“The hottest issue we’re having is helicopter noise over Greenwood Village,” said the former pilot. “So I’m spending as much time helping people in Green-wood Village as I am Lone Tree.”

Like his fellow council members, Anderson gains satisfaction from the added responsibilities.

“If I didn’t enjoy it, I’d sit back and let somebody else do the work,” he said.


8-Opinion

opinions / yours and ours

Even a growth industry must have bordersThe work of both a task force and a

committee is done, and now the business of drawing up rules to implement Amend-ment 64 is in the hands of the Colorado General Assembly. With less than a month left in the 2013 session, the Legislature will need to hustle on the matter of recreation-al marijuana.

As lawmakers debate the merits of the recommendations they’ve been handed, one issue that will come up is how to deal with pot tourism. Already, a company promising cannabis-related vacations has sprouted in Denver, with April 20 — also known endearingly by many marijuana-smokers as “4/20” — being its first big push.

It seems unlikely the Legislature would

altogether ban out-of-state folks from pur-chasing pot. Doing so would be against the advice of the Amendment 64 Task Force and would cost the state a potentially large source of revenue. But there could be limits imposed, perhaps below the threshold of those facing residents, on how much marijuana visitors could legally procure. And, certainly, the law would require them to smoke or otherwise partake here in the Centennial State.

Amid myriad gray areas, at least one thing is black and white: What’s smoked in Colorado must stay in Colorado.

We’re not endorsing use of marijuana in any way, but if you choose to use, remem-ber that you are breaking the law if you take it outside state lines.

Kansas, for one, has been a nervous neighbor since Amendment 64’s passage in November. Last month, Kansas’ ap-peals court ruled it is illegal to possess pot even if it was legally purchased in another state. (For that matter, possession is still in violation of federal law, but that’s a larger matter for another day.)

Earlier this month, a Colorado woman was arrested in Salina, Kan., on charges of marijuana possession. She had nearly 4

pounds of pot, police say.While that amount would have been

against the law even in Colorado — where residents may legally possess up to 1 ounce for recreational purposes or up to 2 ounces for medicinal reasons — it does shine a light on a problem. A commander with a Kansas drug task force told reporters Colorado pot is increasingly becoming a concern in his state.

Like it or not, Colorado may be well on its way to becoming known as a destina-tion spot for pot enthusiasts. But develop-ing a reputation among neighboring states as a source of contraband is unacceptable.

Our state’s legislators, law enforcement agencies and residents should work to nip this problem in the bud.

our view

How would you grade the Legislature?As the 2013 session nears an end, we

asked people at several south-metro area locations what overall grade they would give to the Colorado Legislature and why.

“I would give them a B-minus. They seem to be doing a good job of pushing buttons on all the hot topics. However, they are taking on some difficult issues, so I have to applaud them for that.” — Gerry Cummins, Centennial

“I give them a solid B. So far, so good. I don’t follow politics all that much, but I think people in other states prob-ably have it worse. Seems everybody here is pretty content, and that makes me happy.” — Brandon Alder, Centennial

“I’d say a C-minus. Everything is just way too partisan — on both sides. ... We need people that can work together.” — Mary Ellen Luttenegger, Littleton

“I don’t really keep up with politics all that much, but overall I’d give them an F with the exception of one area, and that’s the medical marijuana issue. In that case, I’d give them an A.” — Duaine Miller, Aurora

question of the week

That’s my story, and I’m a stick in the mud

My therapist and I have been talking about dancing. Just not with each other. We’re trying to figure out why I have no interest in dancing or dance.

I won’t do “The Loco-Motion” or “The Mashed Potato.”

I don’t watch dancing, either. Ballet, ballroom, belly, pole, line, none of it. Tor-ture would be watching “Dancing with the Stars.” Extreme torture would be watching “Lord of the Dance.” I don’t even like the Soupy Shuffle.

A friend of mine sent me a YouTube of some fellow who had spliced together snippets of him doing the same appall-ing jig in locations around the world. She wasn’t happy when I said it was absolutely dreadful

So far, all my therapist and I have been able to come up with is that I may have had a profoundly adverse reaction to glimpsing Arthur Murray when I was a boy. He always had a disturbing smile on his face, like a carousel horse.

I don’t imagine there is anyone else anywhere who feels the same way about dancing as I do.

I prefer to be largely inert. Keep the foxtrot away from me. No Native American dances, please. Hulas? No, no, no.

Even the Ice Capades gives me the wil-lies.

Everyone else either loves to dance, watch dancing, or both. I don’t know what happened with me. My guess is that Boo Radley didn’t dance either, and that’s how I saw myself when I was in high school and college. That perception has changed, but I am still very reclusive, and I think I always will be.

My drinking years didn’t loosen me up either. Well. They loosened me up to other things, but not moving and grooving.

I don’t listen to dance music. Maybe

that’s a part of it. I listen to Beethoven and Mozart. There may have been some danc-ing going on in “Amadeus.” I can’t remem-ber. But dancing to Sinfonia Concertante would never cross my mind. Painting to it would.

Perhaps painting is how I dance. The canvas is my partner? Maybe that’s a stretch and maybe not. I have done a lot of painting demonstrations, and they’re about as publicly overt as I get.

I might feel very differently if I were mu-sical. I am not. Or if I had been encouraged at an early age to dance around the house or around the school. I wasn’t.

I have no regrets. I admire Fred and Ginger and Baryshnikov, but if I had to choose between being a very good painter and being a very good dancer, it would be a very good painter. My dancing abstinence has not made me very attractive to many people (women!), so when I find one (I have) for whom it is A-OK, I value them.

I am sure that most — or all — modern dance performances are choreographed, but the few I have seen pieces of look improvised. That would be the end of me. I was roped into seeing one some years ago, and my friend spent most of her segment, backlighted, under a lavender, translucent gauzy tent, so all I could see was her sil-houette, kind of flailing around for 15

Both political parties can agree on energy efficiency

With all the partisanship in Washing-ton, D.C., it’s hard to feel optimistic that Democrats and Republicans will be able to come together on much. There is, however, a bright spot when it comes to the issue of energy efficiency, and I believe that prog-ress can be made on both sides of the aisle.

The United States is the second largest energy consumer in the world (China is the first), and our demand only continues to grow. While more production is one way to meet this demand, we must also look at the consumption side and ask ourselves this: Are we being as efficient as possible?

Energy efficiency is not a headline grab-ber like the fiscal cliff or the debt ceiling, but it should be. Using our energy more efficiently saves money, cuts pollution and creates jobs. That is why I have partnered with Rep. Peter Welch, a Democrat from Vermont, to form a bipartisan Energy Ef-

ficiency Caucus with a simple goal: Focus on promoting performance contracting in government buildings across the country and thereby provide guaranteed energy savings to American taxpayers.

The federal government is the nation’s No. 1 energy consumer, so it’s a good place to start looking for efficiencies. Nearly 3 billion square feet of building space is

Thanks to Weaver for stand on gunsI would like to thank Douglas County

Sheriff David Weaver for his recent open letter opposing the current anti-gun legis-lative atmosphere in Colorado.

Thanks, Sheriff Weaver, for taking a stand against the enveloping tyrannical police state which is infecting our country and state right now. The U.S. Senate is now trying to implement required gun registra-tion for all future gun sales. We know that previous gun sales in which background checks have been performed have had the data mined by the feds and stored in a database for future use against law-abiding citizens. This is a legitimate concern for all that our government is moving to under-mine our Constitution.

This new legislation simply provides

the justification for future confiscation of so-called “assault weapons.” Make no mistake, this is all about registering and then confiscating weapons from veterans first and then non-veterans in turn to make sure that the slaves are obedient to the New World Order.

Wake up America, this is the end game of the enslavement of our country. Free-dom is waning and if we the people don’t wake up to the enveloping tyranny we will be enslaved and everything we hold dear like property and religious freedom are in the cross hairs of the banker-backed NWO minions! The end is not near, it is here and now! Wake up as the hour is late!

owned and operated by the federal government, and by making govern-ment buildings more energy efficient we can save taxpayer dollars and boost the construction and energy sectors of our economy.

One of the ways we propose to do this is by better utilizing Energy Sav-ings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) and Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESCs). These contracts allow a pri-vate company to perform energy up-grades on federal buildings. The pri-vate company assumes all the costs and risks associated with the upgrade,

and the federal government shares the monetary savings with them once the project is complete. It is estimated a typical $10 million ESPC creates 100 well-paying private-sector jobs, and federal buildings benefit from more energy-efficient makeovers. Every-body involved wins, and Republicans and Democrats alike can take pride in having accomplished something that benefits our economy and our environment.

Unfortunately (and not surpris-ingly), the federal government has been slow to take advantage of these energy saving contracts. In 2011, Pres-ident Obama urged federal depart-ment and agency heads to enter into significantly more contracts by the end of 2013. This is where members

of Congress can come together and help move the process along. Our En-ergy Savings Performance Caucus has already made strides in getting execu-tive branch departments to evalu-ate their own facilities and identify potential savings through ESPCs and performance contracts that promote energy efficiency at the federal, state, and local level.

Yet, more needs to be done and the time to act is now. It is time to show the American people that Congress can work together on something, and I believe there is a real opportunity to use energy efficiency as a positive step forward.

Douglas hosts L.A. coroner officialMichael Jackson investigator will speak in Castle RockBy Rhonda [email protected]

Douglas County Coroner Lora Thomas scored a coup, welcoming Dan Anderson from the Los Ange-les County coroner’s office as a guest speaker for the ongoing educational series, A Night with the Coroner.

Anderson will give a presentation on investigations that include the death of Michael Jackson.

Anderson has family in Colorado and is looking forward to the chance

to give his family a glimpse of what he does. His presentation focuses on what the Los Angeles County coroner is doing with case studies and on some of the more recent celebrity deaths.

His office has handled investiga-

tions of the deaths of singer Whitney Houston; actor Brittany Murphy and her husband, Simon Monjack, who died at the same residence within six months of her death; Casey Johnson, daughter of the owner of the New York Jets; and actor Corey Haim.

A Night with the Coroner features images from death investigations, with insight into the job of the coro-ner. The images are not for the faint of heart and parental discretion is ad-vised for those opting to bring their children to the event, Thomas said.

Anderson will have limited images available during his presentation. He is prohibited from sharing images of the Michael Jackson investigation, but he can discuss details of cases solved by his testimony, Thomas said.

All about aerifi cation By Tony Koski, CSU Extension Turf Specialist

A few thoughts on lawn aerifi cation (core cultivation) from now through the fall.

If lawns aren’t being regularly watered (as is the case in many communities), the lawns will likely be so hard that aerifi ca-tion will not be terribly effective. That is, plugs will not likely be pulled from such hard lawns without the benefi t of a good soaking rain or a couple of days of inten-sive irrigation.

Lawns that are stressed due to some of the more extreme watering restrictions will not likely benefi t from fall aerifi cation (or earlier “beat the fall rush” aerifi cation being promoted by some companies right now). These stressed lawns may actually suffer additional stress (traffi c stress from the equipment, increased drying because of open holes).

Aerifi cation holes will promote drying of the soil if they do not heal over quick-

ly. On actively growing, regularly watered lawns the holes heal quickly. On stressed, infrequently irrigated lawns the holes will stay open longer and thus promote drying of the soil — something we don’t need at this point. Plus, drought stressed and (es-pecially) non irrigated lawns will not pro-duce much in the way of new roots this fall — even if they are aerifi ed. In fact, they may produce more roots if left undis-turbed (not aerifi ed) than if they are aeri-fi ed.

Those lawns that are being watered enough to get good penetration/plug pull-ing would probably benefi t because they are growing “normally” (new roots will form, holes will heal over).

So, lawns that do not appear to be under stress and are irrigated regularly enough to allow effective pulling of cores can benefi t from fall aerifi cation. Where watering re-strictions have resulted in stressed lawns and hard soil, aerifi cation may not be ef-fective and may actually cause more harm than good.

How to keep your land pest-free By StatePoint

Spending time outdoors can recharge the soul and bring the family together. In your own backyard you can fi nd beauty, enjoyment and a place to connect with na-ture — so long as you make sure to main-tain all those beautiful trees and plants.

Whether you have a garden, woodlands or natural landscaping on your property, you’ll want to keep your land healthy and free of unwanted pests. And experts say that woodlands need special attention.

“Although trees look strong, woodland ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to natural and man-made dangers that can gradually reduce the health and beauty of your woods,” says Mike Burns, forester and program resource manager with the Amer-ican Forest Foundation.

A U.S. Forest Service assessment re-leased last December predicts that as ma-ny as 34 million acres of forest land could be lost in the United States during the next 50 years, and that all regions in the Unit-ed States will experience increased stress from natural disasters and pest infesta-tions.

Luckily, there are steps landowners can take to help keep trees and woodlands safe from pests:

• Keep an eye out for changes. On trees, spots of yellow or brown or some thinning needles might be the effects of natural shading on lower limbs — or it might be a disease or insect that’s about to spread to other trees.

• Stay informed about threats in your

area. Contact your state forestry agency or state department of natural resources to fi nd out what’s bugging your area.

• Monitor for pests and signs of disease every month or two. Check trees on the trunk, limbs, twigs, under peeling bark and leaves — the most likely places to fi nd injuries. Keep your eye open for things that look out of the ordinary.

• Online resources can help you be-come a better steward of your land. If you own some woodlands, consider signing up for the My Land Plan resource, launched by the American Forest Foundation. My Land Plan can help you connect with up-to-date information about pest threats, map your land’s boundaries and record changes over time, all at www.MyLand-Plan.org. You can explore the website’s newly expanded invasive pest and patho-gen section and locate professional servic-es available for your needs.

• If you suspect an outbreak, collect samples of tree damage and any associated pests to accurately identify the problem, which may have more than one cause. Take pictures and notes on your trees’ symptoms. Often pictures are enough for an expert to identify the problem and help you fi gure out what to do next. Next steps can be identifi ed by your state for-estry agency or department of natural re-sources.

• If you discover an insect that you sus-pect might be a danger to your trees, seal it in a container and store it in the freezer until you can deliver it to a proper author-ity.

Charge against filmmaker dropped Documentarianwas removed from school board meeting By Jane Reuter [email protected]

Douglas County prosecutors on April 11 dropped a charge levied against fi lmmaker Brian Malone for alleged disruption of an August 2012 Douglas County School Board meet-ing.

Prosecutors dropped the charges before the court could rule on a mo-tion to dismiss the case. The dismissal request was fi led by American Civil Liberties Union attorneys earlier in the week, according to a press release from the ACLU.

“This decision reinforces that ac-cess to public meetings for the media and general public is a fundamental right that should never be criminal-ized,” said ACLU of Colorado Legal Di-rector Mark Silverstein.

DCSD spokeswoman Cinamon Watson issued an emailed statement.

“We count transparency as one of our highest priorities and have taken signifi cant steps to engage the com-munity in the district,” it read. “Guide-lines for camera equipment are in place to avoid disruptions, prevent obstructed views for citizens wish-ing to attend board meetings, and to maintain safety and security for all those in attendance.”

The ACLU agreed to represent

Malone after the Aug. 7, 2012, meeting during which the fi lmmaker stepped outside a taped-off section of the Douglas County School Board meet-ing room reserved for those who were videotaping. He was removed from the meeting, banned from school proper-ty and charged with a misdemeanor of “disrupting a lawful assembly.”

In the wake of a legal threat from the ACLU, the school district later lifted its order banning Malone from board meetings.

Malone’s attorneys maintain his conduct didn’t cause a signifi cant dis-ruption, and that DCSD’s restrictions were “overbroad and unjustifi ed based on First Amendment-protected con-duct,” according to their release.

“Brian is a fi lmmaker whose only goal was to capture the dealings of a publicly elected body so that they could be better known by the public,” said attorney Daniel Recht.

“They had no right to remove him and defi nitely no right to charge him with a crime.”

Malone, a Douglas County native

whose children attend DCSD schools, is a documentary fi lmmaker. He said he’s moving forward with produc-tion of a fi lm about the current school board and issues within the district.

“We’re in the editing process right now,” he said. “I have over a hundred hours of footage.”

That footage doesn’t include in-terviews with any of the school board members. Malone said his repeated requests to meet with them, Superin-tendent Elizabeth Fagen and DCSD spokeswoman Watson were denied.

Watson said the district chose not to participate in the fi lm.

“The fi lm is just an examination of the struggle between opposing viewpoints of different forces in the community over which direction the school district is going,” Malone said. “I’m not really passing judgment on any viewpoint. I’m merely presenting the facts as I observe them. I feel they need to be reported.”

He aims to release it this summer, but doesn’t yet know how it will be dis-tributed.

‘� is decision reinforces that access to public meetings for the media and general public is

a fundamental right that should never be criminalized.’

Where were you born?I was born in Omaha, NE

How long have you lived in the area?Since 1999

What do you like most about it?The people – It seems like Colorado has so many

blue ski days that the people here are happy, fun and exciting to be around. I have really been blessed with fabulous clients and friends.

How long have you worked in Real Estate?I got my real estate license in 2003 as a hobby be-

cause I have always enjoyed real estate and archi-tecture. When I was 16 and got my driver’s license, I would go to open houses for fun. That turned into a full time career and I’m still going to open houses for fun!

What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with?

I specialize in getting sellers top dollar for their

homes. I provide free interior design consultation and free staging. I own a full inventory of furniture and accessories so my clients don’t need to spend thousands on staging but they benefit in the thousands!

What is the most challenging part of what you do?Knowing when to stop working – I could work, work,

and completely forget about time.

What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not work-ing?

I enjoy travelling with my family. My favorite places usually have a sandy beach & beautiful water.

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

My sellers get about 10 to 20% over current market value. The key is to go on the market strong. This means uncluttered, staged and clean. Going on the market pre-pared and putting your best foot forward gets sellers TOP DOLLAR.

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

Take advantage of the low interest rates and still very low prices because we are at the threshold of an increase in market prices. This is the perfect time to move up. Homes under $400,000 are increasing but the homes with prices over $500,000 haven’t increased too much. Savvy buyers can take advantage of the shifting market at its threshold.

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

Oddly, I locked myself inside a home I was previewing. I was forced to exit through the back door and ended up climbing a 6-foot privacy fence in heels and a suit because the fence had no gate! I am sure the neighbors thought I was crazy as I jumped over the fence in a snowdrift.

Lending StandardSRandy Spierings, CPA, MBA Branch Manager, Mortgage LenderLMB# 100022405NMLS# 217152Primary Residential Mortgage, Inc. Office: 303-256-5748www.BestColoradoMortgages.comrspierings@primeres.comRegulated by Division of Real EstateHas been a CPA for over 30 years

Q: With housing at sky-high affordability are

lenders still lending? Can I get a loan with the new strict-er lending standards that are out there today? Are there low down payment programs still available?

A: You are correct that lending standards have

changed dramatically in the last few years as banks and lenders have gone from very loose standards, particularly on subprime loans in the 2000s, to stricter standards today. Verification of abil-ity to repay and assets for downpayment (and some-times reserves), are now re-quired as the stated income/stated asset or no income/no asset loans no longer exist. Waiting periods after bank-

ruptcies, loan modifications, short sales, and foreclosures have all been extended – but loans are still available, even for people that have had those credit blemishes.

As for low down pay-ment programs, many coun-ties, as well as CHAFA, offer down payment assistance programs, although most of those come with income or asset qualifiers. Addition-ally, grant programs with in-come qualifiers reduce down payment requirements to around $1000. The VA loan program, for veterans, offers a no downpayment program, and VA fees can be waived for those with disabilities. FHA offers a program with only 3.5 percent of the pur-chase price as a downpay-ment. The USDA program also offers a zero down pro-gram in certain rural areas. Finally, conventional loans are available with as little as 5 percent down.

If you’re looking to pur-chase or refinance, seek out an experienced, trustworthy, financially savvy lender, that you can meet face to face,

who has access to the full spectrum of loan and grant programs. Then work with them to select the proper loan and grant programs and have them customize them to best suit your needs.

For more information on how you can purchase or refinance a home, please

contact our lending expert, Randy Spierings, CPA (over 30 years), NMLS #217152, branch manager for Primary Residential Mortgage, Inc., a local lender you can trust, at 303-256-5748 or [email protected]. www.BestColoradoMortgages.com Regulated by the Divi-

sion of Real Estate – MLO #100022405. PRMI is an equal housing lender.

guarantee and will give you $500 at closing if they don’t meet or exceed your expec-tations. They offer a full loan spectrum, including VA, FHA, USDA, Jumbo, and conventional, among others, and are among the top 10 re-tail FHA lenders in the U. S. today. n

Tapestries adorn area museumAcclaimed Dutch artist creates colorful worksBy Sonya [email protected]

“We believe that we, all of us, need to seek a new approach to the environment,” says interna-tionally recognized Dutch artist Claudy Jongstra, whose works are on display at Englewood’s Museum of Outdoor Arts.

Colorful tapestries hanging in the second floor atrium at Englewood’s Civic Center serve as an introduction to the ex-ceptional collection displayed inside the Museum of Outdoor Arts’ indoor gallery.

Step inside gallery doors and one is surrounded with fragrance, texture and intense color.

Jongstra has worked with ar-chitects and curators through-out Europe and the U.S., spreading her message of sus-tainability, of connecting with nature — and beautifying large public spaces, as well as homes, restaurants and other environ-ments.

The new Barnes Collection in Philadelphia, the Fries Mu-seum in the Netherlands, The Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Queen Mary Univer-sity in London and the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts in New York are but a few of the institutions where her large felt panels are installed.

Jongstra has a farm in the northern Netherlands where

she keeps 150 sheep — 17th-century Drenthe Heath heri-tage animals with long shaggy coats — which supply the wool. A large garden grows tradi-tional dye plants providing col-ors such as indigo, madder, St. John’s Wort, rhubarb, larkspur and weld.

She keeps bees to pollinate her flowers and dyes wool in hues reminiscent of 17th-cen-

tury Dutch Masters paintings.Nothing is wasted as she and

members of her atlier (studio) create tapestries, wall coverings and other products to soften the environments where people work and live. Atlier associ-ates Marleen Engebersen and Maeve van Klaveren, who work in Amsterdam, are with Jongs-tra to install the exhibit.

Additional supplies are in-

cluded in her work, such as silk, linen, merino wool, alpaca — all of them add textures to the work on display at MOA through July 13.

In the gallery are a variety of panels and tapestries, skeins and bundles of yarn, samples of dried dye plants. A labyrinth of dried yellow chamomile flow-ers rests just to the right of the entrance beneath loops of dyed yarn samples.

A countertop display illus-trates the felting process, where wools are layered, then soaked and compressed.

Ahead to the left are a series of sheer silk organza panels with wool felted onto them in a random design, like little clouds floating. Similar sheer panels at the end of the gallery in front of the windows are further en-hanced with colored embroi-dery.

A second labyrinth form on the floor is overlaid with carded silk, which has a silvery sheen.

Wall panels to the left are covered in a felted linen and were made in Colorado with fabric shipped from the Nether-lands. A large tapestry with a se-ries of red circles leads a visitor into the smaller gallery space, which holds more and varied tapestries.

Sheer silk organza panels hanging in the Museum of Outdoor Arts gallery have sheep’s wool felted on them, plus embroidery with hand-dyed yarns. Photos by Deborah Grigsby

Internationally known Dutch textile artist Claudy Jongstra prides herself on creations made with sustainable materials, such as these panels made of silk organza, decorated with wool from her own sheep.

if you goThe Claudy Jongstra exhibit will be at the Museum of Outdoor Arts indoor gallery on the second level of the Englewood Civic Center through July 13. It is located at 1000 Englewood Parkway. Hours: 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays; 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Fridays; 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturdays. Admission is free. 303-806-0444.

Laugh lady pitches pilot

Wende Curtis, owner of Comedy Works in LoDo and south in the Landmark devel-opment, is peddling a six-minute “sizzle reel” for a reality TV series about her crazy Comedy Works world.

“The working title is called `Comedy Works’,” said Curtis, who wouldn’t divulge where or to whom she’s pitching the pilot project. “The principal characters are me, Lucy (her four-legged child), Jeff, our GM of the south club, and an assistant who is a sexy little 20-something who wants to break into comedy.

“There are a few more (characters) slated to be introduced early on, but there’s only so much to get across in six minutes! We’ve gotten some strong feedback from the business; now let’s see if we can sell it.”

Curtis said her motivation for exploring the reality TV possibilities was primarily financial.

“Money inspired me ... to get out from underneath my debt faster!” she said.

Presidential projectWant to show former President Jimmy

Carter and first lady Rosalynn Carter what you would do if you had a hammer? Would you hammer in the morning? Hammer in the evening? All over this land?

A few lucky folks will be chosen to work alongside the Carters during the 2013 Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project for Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver from Oct. 6 through 11.

This is the 30th anniversary of the presidential Habitat for Humanity event, and Denver is one of three cities in the U.S. getting the special project.

Volunteers will build 11 new town-homes and repair up to 15 existing homes in Denver’s Globeville neighborhood.

For more information, visit www.habi-tatmetrodenver.org.

Makes senseWhen the creative team behind the mu-

sical interpretation of Jane Austen’s classic novel “Sense & Sensibility” first presented their idea to Tony-nominated director Mar-cia Milgrom Dodge, she thought they were kidding.

How could Austen’s iconic 1811 work of romantic fiction possibly translate into a piece for musical theater?

But the team convinced Milgrom Dodge, who fell in love with the formidable project. The result made its world premiere April 5 in Denver Center’s Stage Theatre.

The result is a whimsical romp through the lives and loves of the Dashwood sisters, who go from riches to rags after the death of their father.

The sisters and their mother move to Barton Cottage in Devonshire, near the home of her cousin, Sir John Middleton. It’s at Barton where a series of tangled ro-mances finally straighten themselves out.

Student to be honored at concert in Lone Tree ‘Director threw a French horn at me,’ young musician jokes By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]

Caroline Baker, a senior at Lit-tleton High School, will be cele-brated as the Young Artist contest winner when she performs with the Denver Concert Band on April 20 at the Lone Tree Arts Center.

She will play Richard Strauss’ “Horn Concerto No. 1 in E Flat Major” with the band, conducted by associate director Ken Ko-patich of Littleton, a retired Jeffer-son County music educator and longtime band member.

Kopatich said the band sent out about 2,000 fl yers to high school musicians throughout the state and Baker was the top contestant on what Kopatich describes as a diffi cult instrument.

“You play six or seven notes with a valve, which requires a

good ear,” he said.Baker was a fi nalist in the Arap-

ahoe Philharmonic’s Collegiate Concerto Competition, scoring well against college musicians. Contestants for the Denver Con-cert Band award submitted CDs or tapes initially, and the six fi nal-ists came for a live audition with judges who were high school and college music people.

She says she took a couple of years of piano lessons, and in eighth grade at Goddard Middle School, she discovered she could skip gym if she played in the school orchestra. “The director (Mike Farrell) threw a French horn at me and the rest is history,” she says with a laugh.

She played with her school orchestra through 10th grade at Littleton High School and then

joined the Denver Young Artists Orchestra, where members have contact with Colorado Symphony professionals.

She also was a member of the All State Orchestra and All State Band, Kopatich said. Her director at Littleton High was Don Em-mons, and she has studied pri-vately with Susan McCullough, a French horn teacher at DU’s Lamont School of Music.

She has been accepted by the highly selective Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y. — a school that only accepts 13 per-cent of applicants each year.

Baker’s summer plans include a return visit to the Kendall Betts Horn Camp in New Hampshire for three weeks of intensive training, plus another horn symposium.

In addition to Baker’s concerto selection, the band, directed by Jacinda Bouton, will perform on a theme of “The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea,” with the satanic side represented by Robert W. Smith’s “Divine Comedy,” selections from “Wicked” and Philip Sparkes’ “Sunrise at Angel’s Gate.” The

contrasting segment will include Sousa’s “Hands Across the Sea,”

Richard Rodgers’ “Victory at Sea” and Karrick’s “See Rock City.”

CHAC Gallery features ‘Santitos’Religious images on display through AprilBy Sonya [email protected]

Retablos, bultos, crosses and more are on exhibit this month at Chicano Humanities and Arts Council in Den-ver’s Santa Fe Arts District.

“For generations, Hispanic villagers of New Mexico and southern Colorado have created Santos — religious im-ages of Catholic Christian saints and Biblical scenes,” said curator Santero Ronn Miera. “They used them in their homes, churches and private chapels to aid in worship and for adornment ….”

“Santitos” is the name of the 12th annual group show of traditional and contemporary santos and crosses at the CHAC Gallery, 772 Santa Fe Drive.

Participating artists include Te-resa Duran of Arvada; Jose Esquibel, Littleton; Lynn Fresquez and Vanessa Fresquez, Denver; Ronn Miera, Brigh-ton; and Carlos Santistevan y Familia, Denver.

Master Santero Santistevan and his award-winning children Carlos San-tistevan Jr. and Brigida Montes have created a family display

Paintings and statues came up the Camino Real from Mexico with the

first colonists to New Mexico in 1598 such as Don Juan de Onate.

Between 30 and 50 mission church-es were established. Early images were oil paintings, which could be rolled to travel, but local artists began to carve and paint wooden images and altar screens.

Today’s santeros and santeras use many of the same materials their an-cestors did — carving, finishing and

sometimes painting to tell traditional stories.

A Santito or Benedito is a small blessing given to a person who is headed out on a journey, Miera said. Usually, they were made by a parent or grandparent.

Esquibel, a scholar in the field, will talk at 1 p.m. April 20 about “Modern Usage of Santos.”

He says we can use santos to en-hance people’s lives. They can recon-nect us to each other … ease pain and sorrow of this time and the circum-stance in which we live.

Modern usage is described as (1) Use of santos as a surrogate for our presence. (2) Use as teaching aids and devices. (3) Use to express a profound sentiment that cannot be expressed in any other way. (4) To celebrate accom-plishments or mark significant public events. He will give examples and en-courage conversation.

He said he is tending the gallery on Saturdays. Visitors will find a friendly and knowledgeable source of infor-mation if they stop to ask questions about subjects or techniques.

if you Go

The CHAC Gallery is at 772 Santa Fe Drive in the Arts District. The “Santitos” exhibit runs until April 27. 303-571-0440.

The exciting production values include sets that slide on and off stage or emerge from below or descend into trap doors.

“Sense & Sensibility the Musical” runs through May 26. Tickets: 303-893-4100 or www.denvercenter.org.

DIA’s design delights“USA Today” recently included

Denver International Airport in its list of the “world’s most beautiful airports.”

Here’s what the story said:“Denver International Airport’s

iconic peaked fiberglass roof is meant to resemble the Rocky Mountains. Interior details throughout the airport have sparked numerous conspiracy theories — everything from supposed Templar markings in the floors to the theory that the airport serves as the secret headquarters for the Illumi-nati.”

For more of the story, plus recom-mended Denver sights worth seeing, go to www.usatoday.com/story/trav-el/flights/2013/04/07/worlds-most-beautiful-airports/2056899/.

Steak escapeThe Travel Channel recently aired

an episode of the series “Food Para-dise” with a third “Steak Paradise” edi-tion, which included a stop at Vesta Dipping Grill, 1822 Blake St.

Personally, when I think Denver steak house, Vesta doesn’t come to top of mind, but the “Food Paradise” peeps “steaked” a claim to Vesta.

The segment likely will air again on the Travel Channel, or you can check it out at www.travelchannel.com/video/a-steak-by-any-other-name.

More restaurant scoopsThose of you who’ve been around

the Denver dining scene since the 1990s might remember Michael’s, a former fine dining spot at 2710 E. Third Ave. that lasted until 2000 when chef/owner Michael Shiell sold the place and relocated to The Big Apple.

After a chef stint there, he headed to the other coast as a restaurant con-sultant in California. But he longed to get back to his chef self, and to again own his own restaurant. Shiell got his wish when Lime owners Curt Sims and Pam Savage decided to leave Larimer Square and set up shop in the Denver Pavilions.

Shiell leased the below-ground level space in a Larimer Square court-yard (near Bistro Vendome), and will open Milk & Honey Bar Kitchen (he hopes) in August.

“We chose the old Lime spot because ... well ... it’s Larimer Square, and I always love those tucked-away little gems personally when I go out,” Shiell said.

The “contemporary American” cuisine includes appetizers such as yellow fin tuna tartar, roast hen and foie gras terrine, rabbit rilette and honey-soy lacquered pork belly.

Entrée selections vary from butter-

poached halibut, roast French hen, crispy duck breast and veal osso buco. Other dishes are soups and salads, an assortment of artisan cheeses and salumi, pasta and a burger.

Moving east from LoDo to Uptown, Pitch Coal-Fire Pizzeria is slated to open on 19th and Pennsylvania with another Marg’s taco joint opening across the street next month.

Marg’s World Taco Bistro, which has Denver locations in Cherry Creek North and LoDo, serves soft tacos with unusual fillings, housemade guacamole, chips and salsa. Complete menu at www.margstacobistro.com.

Pitch Coal-Fire Pizzeria, with one store in Omaha, Neb., is expanding into the Denver market.

Pitch is the brainchild of Willy Theisen, the founder of Godfather’s Pizza who sold the operation in 1983 for millions of dollars. But despite his gah-zillionaire status, Theisen, in his mid-60s, has marinara sauce running through his veins and refuses to retire.

But Pitch is more than a pizza place. The menu includes steaks, pasta, fish, fowl, salads and appetiz-ers. See www.pitchpizzeria.com.

Music, verve make for exciting show By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]

As the audience enters the Vintage The-atre, it fi nds an old-fashioned wrap-around porch fi lling the stage — like the ones found on big old Southern homes. The setup for the band is just in front of the stage, which works really well — except perhaps for front row seats. Interaction between band and cast adds a nice note.

Vintage Theatre, with director Deb Flomberg, has staged a really polished, well-designed production of the perenni-ally popular “Best Little Whorehouse in Tex-as,” with its mix of ladies of the night and their wonderful madam, Miss Mona; two-faced politicians; a sheriff who just wants to run his territory undisturbed; and a bunch of randy football players.

With score and lyrics by Carol Hall and a book by Larry L. King and Peter Master-son, the 1978 original Broadway production garnered six Tony Awards: for Best Musical, Featured Actor and Actress, Direction, Book and Choreography — in other words, a solid bit of material to work with. And Flomberg has picked up on the satire and humor to craft a well-paced, entertaining piece.

The story is based on one written by King about the actual Chicken Ranch, in Texas since 1910 — and its demise, lend-ing itself to larger-than-life character. Boni McIntyre is a fi ne, self-assured Miss Mona,

as she sings about the Chicken Ranch. Scott Bellott shows his versatility as the tough-talking Sheriff Ed Earl Dodd.

Chris Gallegos may overact a bit as Mel-vin P. Thorp, the do-gooder who wants to clean up the world, but Patrick Brownson is right on as the governor with his “Sidestep” dance.

Choreography by Jamie Horban is clev-erly worked out in limited space and Shaun Albrechtson’s set allows scenes within and without. Some of said scenes are probably not appropriate for the youngest family members, but teens and adults should en-joy the lively music and action.

“Really this show is about just forget-ting your troubles, sitting back and getting lost in a world fi lled with bright colors, fun, music, dance — lots and lots of dance,” said Flomberg.

“Look closely and you’ll also fi nd a story of strength in the face of adversity, moral corruption, political strife and loyalty to those who matter most. But you’ll also fi nd fringe. And cowboy boots. And maybe even some sequins.”

“Really this show is about just forget-ting your troubles, sitting back and getting lost in a world fi lled with bright colors, fun, music, dance — lots and lots of dance,” said Flomberg.

“Look closely and you’ll also fi nd a story of strength in the face of adversity, moral corruption, political strife and loyalty to those who matter most. But you’ll also fi nd fringe. And cowboy boots. And maybe even some sequins.”

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

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 fi nds 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 connec-tion to incidents like Columbine, and in the ninth movement, “The Columbine Tribute,” he combines the poetry of the state fl ower with the shootings that shook the state.

“If you watch a sunrise in the morn-ing you can see the fl owers 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” — in-spired by the artwork of Jerry Malzhan — is written in 10 shorter movements, as op-posed 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 overcom-ing hardship, and fi nding hope even in the midst of the storm,” Denler said. “We all know that life is hard, and on some peo-ple 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, Ameri-can Symphony No. 2” and “Portraits of New England, An American Symphony No. 3.”

In addition to the symphonies and com-posing 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 fi lm score for “Henry and Me,” an animated feature due out this fall about an 8-year-old boy struggling with cancer who fi nds hope through baseball.

The movie features the voices of Richard Gere, Cyndi Lauper, Paul Simon and nu-merous New York Yankees past and present, such as Reggie Jackson, Yogi Berra, Alex Ro-driguez 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 fi lmmaker Steve Grei-sen, called “An American Symphony.”

The documentary will explore the mo-tivation behind the symphony and fl ash from Malzhan’s paintings to the loca-tions that inspired them, and will feature interviews with the composer and art-ist as well as live footage of the May 31 performance.

“It’s really a cool inside look at the in-spiration,” 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.”

Grizzlies enjoy power surge at plate Home run in Arizona opens door to more for � underRidge players By Jim Benton [email protected]

One of the big questions surrounding the ThunderRidge baseball program these days is: Who is the hottest hitter on the Grizzlies varsity team?

Senior catcher Jake Hand has changed his mind.

“Two days ago, I’d say me, but as of now, Brody (Westmoreland) is,” Hand admitted.

Hand is the Continental League’s leading hitter and second in the state among Class 5A players with a .645 batting average. He has 22 runs batted in. Westmoreland, a ju-nior shortstop who has verbally committed to play at San Diego State, has gone 15-for-

21 with 18 RBIs and four home runs in the past fi ve games for ThunderRidge, a team ranked fourth in the Class 5A state poll.

“Brody was kind of struggling,” Hand ex-plained.

“The last game in Arizona, he hit a home run, and then ever since he has four home runs in the past fi ve games.”

Hand went 1-for-2 in a 14-4 win over Douglas County on April 12 while Westmo-

reland was 4-for-5 with four RBI and a home run as he improved his season batting aver-age to .500 with 19 RBIs, three doubles, two triples, four homers and 18 runs scored.

ThunderRidge, which gave up three runs in the top of the fi rst inning, collect-ed 16 hits against Douglas County and se-nior starting pitcher Bradley Thoutt settled down and pitched fi ve innings, allowing fi ve hits. Hard-throwing junior closer Tyler Lop-

tien, who was 2-for-3 at the plate, pitched a scoreless sixth inning.

“The team is looking real sharp,” West-moreland said. “We’re bonding as a whole. Fielding-wise I’ve been pretty good, but hitting-wise, I started off pretty slow. I made some adjustments and now everything looks like a beach ball.”

The Douglas County game was the sec-ond of the day on April 12. The Grizzlies lost 5-3 to No. 3 Grandview at Coors Field.

ThunderRidge is 8-2 overall and 2-1 in the Continental League.

“I think we’re good now,” Hand said. “We were hot in Arizona, then we had a week off and we lost to Castle View, which was a game we had no business losing. I feel that loss might have been good for us.

“We went undefeated in Arizona, which we’ve never done before. We were feeling like we were on the top of the world, but that loss kind of knocked us down to reality. We realized we’re not supermen.”

Vista girls capture league soccer win Golden Eagles hold top rank in 5A By Jim Benton [email protected]

Mountain Vista played its typical sol-id game and captured a key Continental League girls soccer victory.

The Golden Eagles, the top-ranked Class 5A team, used two fi rst-half goals from Maddy Smith, relentless ball possession and a steadfast defense to pick up a 2-0 win over No. 4 Rock Canyon April 12 at Sports Authority Stadium.

The win gave the Golden Eagles a 6-0-0 Continental record and the league lead over Rock Canyon (5-1-0) and Highlands Ranch (3-1-0).

“I thought the girls played great,” said Mountain Vista coach Theresa Echtermey-er. “We had more of the play and possessed the ball very, very well. I felt all three lines did a great job, they really connected well from the back third, to the midfi eld third and carried on with a great attack in the at-tacking third.

“It was a great win. We had really good energy and pace.”

Smith got a nice centering pass from Amy Alexander and scored 14 minutes into the fi rst half. She was opportunistic and added the second Mountain Vista goal when Jaguars goalkeeper Julia Henning lost control of the ball.

“It was a big night for her,” Echtermeyer said of Smith, who collected her fourth and fi fth goals of the season.

Mountain Vista’s defense, led by senior Mariel Adams, didn’t allow Rock Canyon many quality shots. Jill Finnerty’s attempt with fi ve seconds left in the fi rst half de-fl ected over the Mountain Vista goal, and the Jaguars had another good chance in the second half, but Paige Von Bonk couldn’t corral a pass in front of the goal.

Danielle Cushing made six saves for Mountain Vista in the fi rst half and Torrel Stewart stopped three Rock Canyon shots in the fi nal 40 minutes.

The win over Rock Canyon avenged a shootout loss to the Jaguars in last spring’s quarterfi nal state playoff game.

“It was a huge win,” said Echtermeyer. “Rock Canyon is a good rival, obviously. They are a quality team, ranked No. 4 right now.”

Rock Canyon played better in the sec-ond half, and coach Matt Henbest is look-ing ahead.

“We improved in the second half,” Hen-best said. “Mountain Vista is a good team and played well. For us, it was a good op-portunity to see the things we need to work on in preparation for the state tournament.

“It was a good test for our kids. It was good to see Mountain Vista because we know exactly what we will get next time. If we get to see them in the state tournament, we’ve already had a crack at them and there won’t be any surprises.”

Mountain Vista (9-1-0) lost its fi rst game of the season April 13 when Pine Creek earned a 1-0 upset non-league victory in Colorado Springs. The Golden Eagles were playing their third match in three days and a number of regular players didn’t play in the game.

Rock Canyon (6-1-1 overall) stayed with-in a game of Mountain Vista in the league standings when the Jaguars beat Castle View, 2-1, in a makeup game on April 13. Finnerty scored both goals for Rock Can-yon.
