Woman calls bombing ‘terrifying’Runner from Lone Tree describes scene of chaos after Boston explosionsBy Jane [email protected]

Lone Tree resident Hannah Bailey was waiting in a Boston Marathon medical tent for treatment for a runner’s injury when the bombs detonated.

Bailey, 37, a stay-at-home mother, had crossed the finish line at the Boston Mara-thon at 2:09 p.m. April 15. Two bombs ex-ploded seconds apart at 2:49 p.m.

“I was lying there on the cot when I heard the first explosion go off,” Bailey said. “Very quickly after that, I heard the doctor say, ‘We need to get these people up and out of here. We’ve got people coming in.’

“They very quickly discharged me. As soon as I walked out of the medics’ tent, first responders were trying to get by. It was just mass chaos.”

Three people were killed and hundreds were injured. But standing outside the tent, Bailey didn’t know any of that yet.

“I knew something had happened but didn’t quite understand what it was until I heard somebody on their cell phone saying, ‘Explosion. Don’t come to Boston.’

“As soon as I knew something had gone wrong, I felt absolute panic and fear be-cause I didn’t know where my family was,” she said.

Bailey’s bag, including her cell phone, was a city block away. She couldn’t call her husband Nick and best friend Melissa, both of whom were in Boston.

“People were running everywhere,” she said. “It was very difficult to find my fam-

ily because of the chaos. I was just praying they would be OK.”

She found them, safe and sound, about half an hour later.

Though Bailey didn’t witness the hor-rific injuries many victims suffered, she de-scribed the experience as “very terrifying.”

Like most of the thousands who run in the world’s oldest annual marathon, par-ticipating in the event was her long-held dream.

“When I started running 2½ years ago, all I wanted to do was run Boston,” she said. “I thought it would be so neat to one day be able to qualify.

“In the end, it didn’t quite end up exactly as I thought.”

Boston was her eighth marathon. It will not be her last. “I am not deterred at all,” she said. “There are evil people in this world, and it’s too bad that has to exist, but we have to live, and we have to live by faith.”

Archery program aims for funMiddle school becomes first in county to have clubBy Ryan [email protected]

Rocky Heights Middle School is right on target with the birth of its archery program.

After receiving a grant from the Easton Foundation to launch the program, the school became the first in Douglas Coun-ty to shoot its collective arrows skyward and even hosted the Olympic Archery in Schools state competition April 20.

“It took a little while to get things in mo-tion, but the turnout and the involvement has been just overwhelming,” said head coach Rodney Graham. “With `Hunger Games,’ movies like `Brave’ coming out, with the Olympics — which I think was probably the biggest draw — I figured we would get a pretty good pull and we did.”

When the program was initiated in Janu-ary, Graham and assistant coach Dave Cal-loway had 150 students express interest in participating. Sixty of those showed a com-mitment to sticking with it, but the program only had room for 32 students.

“We took what we could,” Graham said. “We did a lottery drawing and pulled kids’

names out of a hat and did it that way.”For those who had their names drawn,

not only have they had an opportunity to participate in a handful of tournaments over the past few months, but they can look

forward to continuing the sport when they move up to Rock Canyon High School in a couple years, as there is a planned program in the works.

Ex-police chief files complaintEEOC case alleges retaliation in firing of Lone Tree’s top copBy Jane [email protected]

Former Lone Tree Police Chief Steve Hasler’s attorney filed a complaint March 18 with the U.S. Equal Employment Op-portunity Commission, alleging retaliatory termination.

After eight years at the helm of the de-partment, Hasler was dismissed without cause in August 2012 by City Manager Jack Hidahl, which Hasler says was an act of retaliation related to a harassment/hostility complaint against Hidahl.

“The city’s position con-tinues to be he was termi-nated under the contract that allowed the city to do so without cause,” said City Attorney Gary White. “Be-yond that, we’ll just await the EEOC’s deter-mination.”

The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws that make it illegal to discrimi-nate against a job applicant or employee because the person complained about dis-crimination, filed a charge of discrimina-tion, or participated in an employment dis-crimination investigation or lawsuit.

Denver attorney Steven Dawes, an at-torney for the Colorado Intergovernmental Risk Sharing Agency (CIRSA), is preparing the city’s response to the claim. CIRSA pro-vides municipal insurance policies. Lone Tree is a CIRSA member.

Mills did not return calls requesting comment, and Hasler had little to say.

“It’s a matter of course (to file with the EEOC),” Hasler said, adding that if the com-mission decided to take his case, “they’ll pursue it on my behalf.”

According to the EEOC’s website, “Our role in an investigation is to fairly and ac-curately assess the allegations in the charge and then make a finding. If we find that discrimination has occurred, we will try to

Hope for fireworks could be dudCity debates alternatives after years of problemsBy Jane [email protected]

Lone Tree’s traditional Fourth of July celebration could end on a different note in 2013. In anticipation of another poten-tially dangerous wildfire season, city coun-cil members debated alternatives to the fireworks display — including a laser light show — during their April 16 meeting.

“Maybe we just won’t do fireworks this year,” Mayor Jim Gunning said. “I think there’s something to be said for not even planning fireworks with the backdrop of the drought.”

In 2012, with wildfires still raging in some parts of Colorado, Lone Tree canceled the display but went ahead with the rest of its

popular Independence Day festivities. The city instead held a separate celebration and fireworks display over Labor Day weekend.

With a repeat of last summer’s condi-tions threatening, fireworks company West-ern Enterprises said it would be flexible on a date for the display.

But Gunning said perhaps the city should consider something entirely differ-ent, suggesting a laser light show or some other form of entertainment.

“I would like to look at some kind of backup evening like that,” he said.

Not everyone was enthusiastic about the idea.

“I haven’t seen a laser light show that’s met expectations,” City Manager Jack Hi-dahl said. “It looked more like a screen sav-er on an old computer.”

“I think (fireworks) is a tradition,” Coun-cilmember Kim Monson said. “I think our residents would be pretty disappointed if

we didn’t make an effort.”Gunning emphasized he’s only urging

council to consider options, pointing out that 2012 was the fifth year in a row that Lone Tree’s fireworks had been canceled, cut short or derailed by fire or rainstorms.

“Since I’ve been here, it’s been kind of a hit and miss,” he said.

City staff suggested the idea of switching gears for the summer holiday.

“The current drought conditions have put the City of Lone Tree on alert as to whether or not to move forward with our current fireworks proposed contract,” says a staff report presented to council mem-bers.

Staff options if fireworks are canceled included a repeat of last year — adding another Sweetwater Park event later in the summer — creating a late fall or winter event at the Lone Tree Arts Center, or hold-ing off on the display until Independence

Day 2014.The 2013 Labor Day display, which in-

clude an ‘80s cover band before the fire-works, was a hit with residents. But it came at a cost.

“The rescheduled September event cost an additional $11,713.90,” according to staff.

“This amount included all necessary Sweetwater Park infrastructure and a con-cert leading up to the display.”

An April 1 report from National Inter-agency Fire Center described wildland fire potential as normal in the Rocky Mountain region, with some above-normal conditions in southern Colorado from May to July.

“Generally warmer and drier conditions are expected mainly during June for the area, with fire potential to be at least nor-mal by the core fire season of late May and continuing through June into early July,” the report says.

ACT test day is teen rite of passageHigh school juniors statewide tackle college admissions testBy Jane [email protected]

Days before the April 23 ACT test, ThunderRidge High School junior Sophie Pepin already was nervous.

“A lot of scholarships and other things rely on it,” said Pepin.

Along with high school juniors state-wide, Pepin took the ACT, a national college admissions test.

Many colleges and universities weigh a student’s ACT score along with grade-point average, class rank and other factors in de-termining admission.

Pepin hopes to go to the Colorado School of Mines, where the average ACT score for entering freshman is 29. A perfect score on

the four-part test is 36.She’s been preparing for the ACT for the

last two months, scoring a 32 and 31 in her two practice tests.

“If I don’t get a perfect score, I’d be fine with that,” she said.

Preparation for the ACT goes beyond students. A room is designated for the test in each Douglas County School District high school. Desks must be spaced far enough apart to prevent cheating. Books, posters and other materials that may dis-tract students must be covered or removed from the room. A test supervisor is assigned to monitor students during the four-hour exam.

On the day of the test, students have to show the supervisor photo identification to be allowed into the testing room. Sweaty palms and anxiety are more common than not.

“The pressure is there,” said Dan Mc-

Minimee, assistant superintendent of sec-ondary education for the Douglas County School District.

“A lot of this is also self-directed pres-sure from the student. I think a lot of kids in Douglas County have that competitive drive in them. They know what this test means.”

But it is not necessarily the most impor-tant factor for college admissions officers.

“The ACT and SAT score are one piece of the puzzle for a student in determining what college to go to,” McMinimee said. “It would help if you got a 36. But it’s probably not going to exclude you from the college of your choice if you don’t do as well on it as you thought you were going to do. In gener-al, the scores that Douglas County students get will qualify them for multiple different colleges.”

While the in-school test is offered only once, students can take the test repeatedly

at independent test centers. The fee is $35 per test.

“The more times a student takes it, the better score they usually get,” McMinimee said.

In 2012, DCSD’s composite ACT score was 21.7, third among the metro area’s top 10 largest school districts.

District seeks dismissal of teachers’ suit Union battles hiring practices, termination of sick-leave bank By Jane Reuter [email protected]

The Douglas County School District fi led a motion April 17 to dismiss the Doug-las County Federation’s lawsuits that allege violations of unfair hiring practices and ter-mination of a sick-leave bank.

DCSD’s motion says the teachers’ union is attempting to litigate issues tied to two now-expired collective bargaining agree-ments (CBA), and that the DCF has no legal footing for some of its allegations.

The teachers’ union fi led two lawsuits in February, saying DCSD “illegally refused to consider teachers for job openings af-ter their positions had been eliminated,” and asking it to reimburse teachers for sick

leave days donated to a sick-leave bank that the district terminated.

Several teachers who say they were harmed by the alleged violations also are named as plaintiffs in the union’s lawsuit.

In its motion to dismiss, DCSD says the union lacks standing in claiming the dis-trict refused to interview laid-off teachers for new positions or meet with the union to develop policies regarding teacher dis-placement.

“In short, plaintiffs invoke faulty legal theories and rely on expired contractual obligations,” the document reads.

DCSD did not respond to emails request-ing comment on their motion to dismiss. In February, school board president John Car-son called the lawsuits frivolous.

But union president Brenda Smith said DCF’s claims aren’t tied to the CBA’s status.

“Part of the downsizing procedures un-der Colorado law is they need to create a priority hiring pool, and they didn’t do

that,” she said of DCSD. “They didn’t follow the law.”

According to language included in 2010’s Colorado Senate Bill 191, any active, non-probationary teacher who has been deemed effective and hasn’t yet secured a position “shall be a member of a prior-ity hiring pool, which … shall ensure the non-probationary teacher a fi rst oppor-tunity to interview for available positions for which he or she is qualifi ed in a school district.”

But in its motion to dismiss, DCSD says enforcement of those statutes falls to the Colorado Board of Education, “a designated remedy that excludes all others,” according to DCSD’s motion.

On the sick-leave bank claim, the DCF says Douglas County teachers had a long-standing practice of donating one sick day a year to the bank for themselves or others to use.

The union says DCSD terminated the sick bank in July 2012, including about

10,000 accumulated sick leave days. DCSD also alleges the union “failed to

exhaust administrative remedies” in com-ing to an agreement on the sick-leave bank, that those benefi ts were not vested, and a cash-out provision for the unused days wasn’t included in the CBA.

“Neither the teachers’ nor the classifi ed employees’ CBA expressly provided that sick-leave bank benefi ts would survive the contract’s termination,” according to the motion.

Consequently, teachers who have fallen ill since the CBA’s July 2012 expiration aren’t entitled to use the bank, according to DCSD.

Smith disagrees, again saying the CBA’s lapsed status isn’t a factor.

“The sick-leave bank was owned by the teachers,” she said. “I truly believe it be-longs to them.”

The district’s longstanding agreement with the teachers’ union expired in 2012 after more than 100 hours of fruitless nego-tiation.

School board tips hat to Margaret Thatcher Members call former British leader role model for students By Jane Reuter [email protected]

The Douglas County School Board paid tribute to former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher during their April 16 board meeting, upholding her as a role model for Douglas County students.

The board adopted a resolution com-memorating her life and legacy that de-scribed her as “a relentless champion of freedom, who fought tirelessly for free en-terprise, for the economic policies that fos-ter individual opportunity and global pros-perity, and for human liberty and dignity throughout the world.”

Thatcher, who died April 8, led the Con-servative Party from 1975 to 1990 and re-

mained involved in British politics after her resignation. She was an infl uential, often controversial leader, and a friend and polit-ical ally of former President Ronald Reagan.

Through the Education Act of 1980, Thatcher enacted policies allowing par-ents to choose schools, and providing public money for children to attend pri-vate schools. Similarly, the Douglas County School Board’s Choice Scholarship Pro-gram, now likely headed to the Colorado Supreme Court for a verdict on its constitu-tionality, allowed parents to use state school

funding toward tuition at private schools.“I think she’s a tremendous role model

for young people, particularly girls and women,” board president John Carson said. “I think she goes down in history as one of the greatest champions of freedom in the 20th century.

“It’s interesting some of the issues she talks about are the same ones we’re talking about in education today, 42 years later.”

Board Member Craig Richardson praised Thatcher for “strong, principled, morally clear and brilliant leadership.”

“I think so much of education has an implicit and imbedded question, `Who are your heroes?’” Richardson said. “Margaret Thatcher is a hero for me and many mem-bers of our board. I hope our students will fi nd a champion, someone in whom they believe during the troubles and diffi cult times this life produces. That’s why I think it’s quite natural we express ourselves on this occasion.”

Board Member Kevin Larsen read the res-olution aloud, which commended Thatcher for opposing communism throughout the world and being “a great friend of America.”

The resolution concluded by saying the board “commends (Thatcher) as a role model for the young people of the Doug-las County School District as they strive to become future leaders in Colorado and our nation, and as they seek to make a positive and enduring difference in the course of human progress.”

‘I think she goes down in history as one of the greatest champions of freedom in the 20th century.’

Sheriffs to sue over gun laws Columbine victim’s father sees ‘sour grapes’ in complaints By Rhonda Moore [email protected]

The list of sheriffs who plan to challenge the state’s new gun-control legislation has grown to include at least 40 of Colorado’s 62 sheriffs.

Elbert County Sheriff Shayne Heap, Douglas County Sheriff David Weaver and Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robin-son are among the group seeking to over-turn the recently passed state laws, which set limits on ammunition magazines and expand background checks for fi rearms transfers.

Independence Institute attorney David Kopel, who is directing the planned lawsuit, says the laws run counter to the Second Amendment and “violate the highest law in the coun-try, the Constitution of the United States of America.”

Heap and Weaver both claim the new laws will make it harder for law-abiding people to defend themselves. Kopel claims the back-ground-check law could criminalize the ac-tions of innocent people.

Their words ring hollow to Tom Mauser, whose son Daniel was killed at Columbine High School and who serves as spokesman for gun-control group Colorado Ceasefi re.

“It’s all nonsense,” said Mauser, who characterized the sheriffs’ claims as “sour grapes.”

The sheriffs simply “don’t like that those two bills passed” and “they have become a voice for the NRA and Rocky Mountain Gun Owners,” Mauser said.

Kopel’s courtroom experience on Sec-ond Amendment issues includes a 2008 Su-preme Court case, The District of Columbia v. Heller, in which the court ruled that the District of Columbia could not ban hand-guns or self-defense with a handgun in a person’s home.

“They’ve outlawed an accessory that is essential to the use of a fi rearm,” Kopel said of Colorado’s limit on magazines. “We are challenging the background-check bill for temporary and innocent transfers. With the new law, if your friend from out of town comes to visit and you loan him your gun to hunt, you’re a criminal. That is overreach-ing and unreasonable.”

Kopel’s institute will represent the sher-iffs free of charge.

Weaver stated his position in an April 5 letter released by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Offi ce. “I don’t think the laws will make people safer,” he wrote. “Tighter gun laws will not prevent criminals from getting guns. The laws will only make it harder for citizens to defend themselves.”

Heap echoed Weaver’s sentiments, call-ing the laws “unenforceable.” Heap posted an online video criticizing the legislation that garnered close to 500,000 hits.

“Extreme Democratic legislators have unilaterally decided that making it harder for you to defend yourself will somehow make you safer, or at least make them feel better,” Heap said.

Mauser fi nds the arguments by the sher-iffs and their lawyer empty. “They think (the gun-control laws) are diffi cult to enforce, as if there are no other laws that are diffi cult to enforce,” he said.

The Supreme Court ruled that the Sec-ond Amendment grants an individual right to gun ownership, but that restrictions are allowable, Mauser said. “You can’t pass a law as restrictive as Washington, D.C., but this isn’t anything like Washington, D.C.,” he said.

He said the Colorado laws provide “rea-sonable restrictions to keep guns out of the hands of the wrong people” and said the background-check law provides “excep-tions for temporary transfers or transfers within families.”

Mauser said the sheriffs are “good at dreaming up other kinds of circumstanc-es” to criticize the laws. “You can’t account for every possible situation someone will dream up,” he said. “They just don’t like the basic concept of background checks.”

“As for the magazines, the Supreme Court said you could have restrictions on what they call dangerous weapons,” Maus-er said. “Most Americans would say assault weapons and high-capacity magazines are dangerous weapons, and Colorado acted on it.”

The most common form of self-defense with a gun involves handguns, he said, add-ing: “Handguns aren’t outlawed.”

“If there’s anyone overreaching, it’s them,” Mauser said of the group opposing gun-control laws. “It’s all nonsense.”

Kopel said he expects to fi le the suit around the second week of May, but would not say which court he will fi le in.

Assistant editor Scott Gilbert contributed to this report.

SHERIFF’S REPORT Highlands Ranch home eyeballed

A Lone Tree resident who is building a home in the 10800 block of Wintersong Way reported to the sheriff’s offi ce April 6 that a group of teenagers had attempted to enter the home she is building but were stopped and scared off by a neighbor.

A group of seven teenage males who pulled into the driveway in a white SUV were questioned by the neighbor as two boys ran around the back and the others waited in the front.

When the neighbor told them the homebuilder had cameras inside, they ran back to the vehicle and drove off.

Credit card fraud rampantThe Douglas County Sheriff’s Offi ce

received three reports of identity theft and fraud between April 8 and 10. A Highlands Ranch man had someone open a Victoria’s Secret credit card in his name in Man-hattan Beach, Calif., and had to fi ght off $752.67 in charges. A Larskspur woman found out someone in Texas had been us-ing her Social Security number and maiden name, ringing up $436 in utility bills after being sent to collections. And a Parker man found out that $1,616 of charges was charged to his MasterCard and his address had been changed to a residence in Texas.

Author seeks better world for childrenHighlands Ranch writer aims to inspire studentsBy Jane Reuterj r e u t e r @ o u r c o l o r a d onews.com

As a fourth-grader, Jus-tin Matott was the new kid in school with temporary physical challenges that gave him a limp and re-quired an eye patch. That made him an easy target for bullies at his school.

Matott, a Highlands Ranch resident, turned those bad experiences around, and now tries to pass the lessons he learned on to other kids.

“I was very fortunate to have a dad who under-stood how you look into somebody and find those talents,” he said. “He was one who taught me how to make the kids at school laugh. I started using my storytelling talent and took back my power basically.”

The author and speak-

er spoke at Castle Rock’s Soaring Elementary April 19, one of many visits he’s made to the school.

With 15 children’s books to his name, Matott speaks at 35 to 50 schools each year, encouraging kids to write, read and treat one another with kindness.

“I try to be impactful,” he said. “And it seems to be working.”

His talks often focus on the main character in his six-book series, Gabriel Pe-ters, who overcomes physi-cal drawbacks and pursues a life of adventure. The fourth book in the series will be released in May.

After a school visit last week, a seventh-grade teacher told the author that one of her students had left

the assembly in tears be-cause he’d recognized him-self in one of Matott’s tales.

“His reputation had been a bully for a long time,” Matott said. “He all of a sud-den saw the faces of the kids he was treating so badly. He told (his counselor) he didn’t want to be that per-son anymore and wanted to find a different way to deal with his anger issues.”

Knowing he’s made a dif-ference for some kids is a sweet reward.

“I can’t think of any-thing, other than seeing my sons becoming the men I was raising them to be, that would please me more,” Matott said. “I don’t have a huge enough ego to think I’m changing a kid’s life per-manently, but I know I’m

changing a portion of a kid’s life.”

The 51-year-old author has pursued his writing and speaking passions full time since 1997, when he left his corporate sales job with a publishing contract in hand.

That first book, “My Gar-den Visits,” was a tribute to his mother that Matott self-published three weeks be-fore Mother’s Day. In three weeks, 4,700 of the 5,000 copies sold, and Random House offered to publish the book.

“It was like a Cinderella thing,” Matott said. “It was awesome to be able to walk into my boss’s office and say, `You’ve got one more month of my life and I’m done with this.’”

Colorado becoming global marketplaceNumerous factors behind economic growth, expansionBy Ryan [email protected]

Colorado is beginning to emerge as a global marketplace, and a lot of that is be-ing attributed to innovation, mass transit, and the moderate political state of the state.

“Colorado has really become differenti-ated from other western markets,” said Kate Waggoner, director of enterprise manage-ment for CBRE, the world’s largest commercial real es-tate firm. “The whole world is coming to Denver. We used to really compete with Phoenix and Las Vegas, but we are separating ourselves from them.”

Waggoner said over the past five years an average of six to eight major com-panies moved their head-quarters into the Denver metro area per year, highlighted by 10 com-panies coming in last year.

“I can’t wait to see what is announced this year,” she said. “Our brand is good right now. We rank high in innovation. We are a highly educated state, and on the po-litical spectrum, companies don’t want to come to a whack-job conservative state or a whack-job liberal state. … Colorado also ranks No. 2 (behind New York state) in the country in mass transit, which positions us for a lot more future growth.”

Waggoner, speaking to a group of inves-tors from the Northwest Douglas County Economic Development Corporation, said

the state’s modest incentives are still hold-ing it back a little, but that the area has a lot of positives working for it right now, espe-cially at a time when national growth is still occurring at a moderate clip.

“I’ve been getting a lot of positive feed-back about the soft incentives,” Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella respond-ed, suggesting that more attention should be paid to those details when data is col-lected. “Time is money and we’ve received a lot of very positive feedback in Douglas County for helping companies get open quickly.”

Waggoner said that while technology and aerospace industries continue to come into the area, health-care jobs should pro-vide the most opportunities in the region in 2013. The state is also turning the cor-ner when it comes to industrial business, and in 2012 industrial companies leased or bought 4.2 million more square feet than they vacated throughout the Denver metro area.

“I think for northwest Douglas County it shows us what types of things we can fo-cus on along the Santa Fe corridor on the industrial and manufacturing side, and also the commercial development in the future town center of Highlands Ranch,” said Amy Sherman, president of the NDCEDC.

Another would-be positive for Douglas County, Waggoner said, is that there are bal-lot initiatives on the table that would raise Denver property taxes even more. If those pass, they will widen the gap between the communities even more, making the cost to do work downtown that much more ex-pensive than it is to do in the south metro area, an area that is already much more successful than other suburban areas na-tionwide.

Educators aim to build skills for futureChallenges abound in preparing for unknown jobsBy Deborah [email protected]

If Colorado wants a place in the growing global economy, then its edu-cation system must deliver the skills needed for students to succeed as 21st-century citizens.

The problem, according to a three-district panel of educators hosted by the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce on April 19, is that local schools are trying to ready kids for jobs that are yet to exist.

“The reality is, our students will compete with students from around the world for the most sought-after opportunities and that’s something of a newer thing in education,” explained Elizabeth Fagen, Douglas County Schools superintendent. “It’s definite-ly different than when we started back in the industrial revolution.”

Along with the economy, Fagen said the kids, themselves, are different.

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

Along with Scott Murphy, Little-ton superintendent of schools, and Eric Flor, assistant superintendent for Cherry Creek Schools, Fagen offered an overview of how schools hope to engage business and industry as fu-ture partners.

Strong partnerships between schools and business innovators may be the key to developing a winning curriculum — a curriculum that’s rich in technology, collaboration, creativity and shared economic success.

“It’s not about bricks and mortar,”

said Flor. “It’s about what experienc-es are children getting — starting in kindergarten all the way through — that prepare them to be engineers, or whatever it is they want to be.”

Panel moderator Lisa D’Ambrosia said education has long been one of the chamber’s prime initiatives. She sees a strong connection between aca-demia and the coming economy.

Schools are now looking to the business community and asking it to help define what the future workforce should look like.

So, what it is kids need to know to be successful in their lifetime?

“We can’t even predict all the jobs that will exist when they graduate, but we can predict the kind of skills they’ll need to be successful, no matter what

those jobs are,” said Fagen.And the Douglas County School

District has been reaching out to some of the biggest names on the planet.

“Nike, for example, wants people who `obliterate’ boundaries, are risk-takers, are smart, passionate curi-ous people, rebels, original thinking,” Fagen said. “So just as the industrial revolution paid attention to what it was the assembly-line mode needed, we want to pay attention to what our business partners want in our stu-dents.”

“We have a vested interest in edu-cation with relationship to the busi-ness community,” D’Ambrosia said. “It’s one of the driving forces for bring-ing jobs here to the south metro Den-ver area.”

Thanks to a second grant request to Easton written by Graham, there is also an el-ementary program already underway at Rocky Heights’ feeder schools.

Not taking the two gifts from Easton lightly — the foundation provides all the necessary equipment and targets — the Rocky Heights club decided to pay it for-ward and raised $5,500 at a tournament in early April for the Wounded Warrior Project, a national non-profit that assists wounded veterans.

Graham, who also teach-es archery for the Highlands Ranch Community Asso-ciation, hopes to see other area schools follow suit to increase competition and camaraderie.

“It’s really fun to see the mix of kids that go for this,”

he said. “We’ve got a lot of kids that do the traditional sports, and then we have some other kids where tra-ditional sports aren’t their thing. They’ve really em-braced archery.”

Seventh-graders Ally Pfeiffer and Jacob Buras both compete in other sports, but each is thrilled about the opportunity to partake.

“I had done it a couple times at Girl Scout camp and I really enjoyed it, so I decided to come out,” said Ally. “I think it’s really cool that we are the only school that does this, and the fact that we can come into the gym and shoot arrows is a lot of fun.”

“I personally like hunt-ing, so it feels kind of natu-ral,” added Jacob, who plays hockey, baseball and foot-ball and ranks archery sec-ond right behind hockey. “If it’s a sport and it’s competi-tive I’m in it. ... I just love it, it’s so much fun.”

8-Opinion

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Keep jobs at home, keep businesses at ease The Keep Jobs in Colorado Act appears

to have considerable support as it passed the House Monday at the Statehouse.

We appreciate suggested improve-ments touted by the act, House Bill 1292, co-sponsored by state Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, but give pause to some of its measures long-term.

We agree with Kerr that changes are needed in penalties for companies that do not meet a threshold of requiring 80 percent of all taxpayer-backed state project labor be conducted by Colorado workers.

Kerr noted the 80 percent requirement has been on the books since 1933 but a jail penalty for non-complying company own-ers has not been enforced.

We agree virtually every law should have teeth, so it makes sense to amend the law by replacing jail time with civil fees for violations and retooling the compliance process.

The Keep Jobs in Colorado Act also aims to:

• Clamp down on outsourcing of jobs overseas in state contracts with beefed up disclosures on state contractors who use second-party vendors;

• Provide stricter enforcement of out-of-state bid preferences to make sure Colo-rado companies have all legal advantages available;

• Expand the so-called “best value” metrics related to in-state employment and domestically produced materials for contracts that are not co-mingled with federal funds;

• Create a central tracking system for state projects — in practice tracking the

most costly materials in public works proj-ects, such as items made from iron, steel and related manufactured goods.

In light of these values, we recognize the arguments of some Republicans and others that it can be a diffi cult process ensuring that projects involve Colorado-based materials.

In one of our stories earlier this month, Rep. Ray Scott, R-Grand Junction, stated fl atly there is “no way in this free market system that everyone is going to be truth-ful.”

Sad but true.Further we acknowledge it is highly

problematic for contractors to know and document the sources of all materials. As for tracking payroll, that is not as much of a challenge, but more paperwork means increasing staff time and cost for contrac-tors.

Overall, the act’s key measures can in

some ways strengthen the state in the cur-rent challenging economic climate. The measures match the times, although it’s surely dicey work because making laws to regulate business — whether it’s incentives or tariffs or common taxes, and so on — will always be complicated and question-able to free market purists.

For now, we support the general ideas, but long-term, we harbor reservations because the effort to stay local and secure jobs works against the pressing global marketplace and its competitive realities of comparative advantage — when one country can produce products or provide labor more effi ciently than another.

Given that the state employment rate decreased from about 8.2 percent a year ago to 7.1 percent last month, we’d like to see Colorado in a trend to entertain fewer laws that mean increased government protocols and processes for business.

OUR VIEW

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

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

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

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

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

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

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Wanting to watch a train wreck If Madame Defarge were living in the

southwest United States today, where would she be and what would she be do-ing? Be specifi c. I want the name of the city and the building, and exactly what she was doing with her hands.

Here is a big hint: The last time we saw Madame Defarge she was a tricoteuse. That practically gives it away.

Think it over.Some of us like to polka. Some of us like

to bowl, shop for shoes, or breed cocka-tiels. And some of us like to knit.

Madame Defarge liked to knit. There’s the giveaway. Madame Defarge would be knitting in the Maricopa County Superior Court Building in Phoenix, and attend-ing the death penalty trial in the case of Arizona vs. Jodi Arias.

Defarge was considered the main villain of Charles Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities.” As a tricoteuse, or knitting woman, she secretly encoded the names of people to be killed during the French Revolution.

I thought of Defarge when I heard that a woman drove six hours just to see the trial. Why would someone do that? To see a melodrama in person? To be on television? Or maybe to see someone sentenced to death?

I can understand why someone might have a peripheral interest in a case like this one, or the Trials of the Century that have preceded it. Leopold and Loeb. Bruno Hauptmann. The Rosenbergs. O.J. And more recently, Casey Anthony. I catch up on these cases, but not hour after hour. There’s a channel that is covering the Arias trial all day long.

If I found out that my girlfriend was spending eight hours a day watching a trial, I would go out for a pack of cigarettes.

One Arias juror was dismissed, and she came back to sit in the courtroom. If she were my girlfriend, I would go out for a carton of cigarettes.

The Hauptmann trial was a pip. A cir-cus, really. Hauptmann was accused, con-victed, and executed for kidnapping and

murdering Charles Lindbergh’s 20-month-old son. People mobbed the courtroom. Some climbed in through windows.

Maybe none of us wants to be in a train wreck, but apparently a lot of us want to see one. I don’t get it. And if I had to listen to the prosecuting attorney in the Arias case for more than a minute or two at a time, I think I might want to get into Thelma and Louise’s back seat just before they went to the worm restaurant.

The closing defense argument in the case of Leopold and Loeb, who kidnapped and killed a 14-year-old boy in their quest to commit a “perfect crime,” might have been worth hearing in person. Clarence Darrow said, about Loeb, “This terrible crime was inherent in his organism, and it came from some ancestor. Is any blame at-tached because somebody took Nietzsche’s philosophy seriously and fashioned his life upon it? It is hardly fair to hang a 19-year-old boy for the philosophy that was taught him at the university.”

I am sure that Darrow had a rough idea beforehand what he was going to say, but I doubt that he read that from a script. To be able to speak with such clarity on the spot would have made a big impression upon me.

It worked on the judge too. He spared the lives of Leopold and Loeb. The case from start to fi nish makes the Arias trial look like an afternoon soap.

One attractive Arias spectator was spot-ted by Dr. Drew, and that night she was on his program, looking like she had spent the

Hospitals are grounds for hope Over the past 17-plus years, I have

either been treated personally at local hospitals or have had family members and friends end up in the clinic, emergency room or hospital.

And, over these past 17 years, I have talked to members of our community and many of you about our experiences at the different hospitals. Many of you have even sent me an email over the past few years sharing your experiences.

Based on my own fi rsthand experi-ences with family and friends and all of the unsolicited feedback I have received, I am happy to report that the teams at our local hospitals are doing an incredible job in caring for patients. With some bad press surrounding hospitals and doctors and the recognized brokenness with some of the elements of the health-care system, we

have been truly blessed with some of the most talented, caring, and compassionate doctors, nurses, technicians and support staff in health care. And as a resident, their performance gives me hope for health care.

Even the volunteers at our hospitals seem to go out of their way to make sure patients and family are taken care of. And

Lone Tree lags on bike lanesLone Tree is a wonderful city, and we

love living here, but bike lanes are almost non-existent. We question whether Lone Tree can win any city awards with such a lack of detail to the important issue of making it bike-friendly.

Even the new RidgeGate has no bike lanes. RidgeGate prides itself on being a live-in community with most amenities nearby. However, one must either walk or have car/bus transportation unless, as a biker, you are willing to ride without the benefi t of bike friendly lanes.

Lincoln … once you leave the wonderful bike lanes of Highlands Ranch and enter

into Lone Tree, you enter into a death zone. There is even a sign stating that the “Bike Lane Ends.” Not only is the continuing space small, there is a seam right down the middle of it, just waiting to capture the small tires on road bikes.

Yosemite is biker-unfriendly, and the section by Mimi’s is another death-defying section for bikers.

How can Lone Tree stay blind and deaf to this situation that not only endangers bikers, but also ignores an era where eco-friendly is so important and desired?

303-756-3467that is awesome and speaks to the culture of the hospitals and vision of the leadership teams.

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

Sometimes they deal with simple illnesses, broken bones or sprains, and sometimes trauma and much more serious situations, including life-threatening conditions or inju-ries. And as I watch everyone from the EMTs bringing patients in, or the staff

caring for the patient, I am simply in awe of the level of sincerity, love and technical ability of those I observe.

Conversely, just as in any service-oriented business, I see the patients or family members of the patients become disruptive, abusive, belliger-ent and impatient as they bark out demands and treat their potential caregivers with complete disregard for the genuine effort of care be-ing given. These same patients and family members do not understand how others observe their behavior and how damaging it is for the health and well-being of the patients who are there to get better. Not to men-tion how it impacts the morale of the clinic, the staff, or the other patients and families.

If we are to have hope for health care, I would ask that instead of pointing the fi nger of blame at how “broken” health care is regarding insurance, access to information, and patient care, that we begin by building a winning and positive

relationship with the people who are immediately in front of us, our nurses, doctors, technicians and sup-port staff. Together we can focus on the patient, focus on the care needed, and work towards the best outcome possible.

Kudos to these hospitals for being such a great place for all of those who fi nd themselves needing care. They are wonderful institutions with amazing patients and families from our community and incredible staff and leadership, working together and providing hope for healthcare.

I know some will have their stories of success and others will share their challenges, I would love to hear both at [email protected], and when we work collectively with our health-care providers it is always a better than good week.

Renew, renovate for perfect lawnBy Melinda MyersSpecial to Colorado Community Media

The extreme heat and drought of 2012 was hard on lawns and gardens. “Many gardeners are facing a blank slate of bare soil, masses of dead patches that were once lawn or a bit of grass inter-spersed in a sea of weeds,” says gardening expert Melinda Myers.

Myers recommends following these steps to improve lawns this season.

Start this spring to renovate or improve your weather-worn lawn. Remember that water is critical to get newly seeded and sodded lawns to survive. So be prepared to help nature along with the recovery effort.

Evaluate the damage. Then use the checklist below to find the best course of action to aid the ailing lawn.

If the lawn is more than 60 percent weeds or bare soil, it’s probably time to start over. Use this opportunity to create a great foundation for growing a healthy lawn. Kill off the existing vegeta-tion, add several inches of organ-ic matter such as compost or peat moss and a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer into the top six

to eight inches of soil, and rake smooth.

Select more drought tolerant grasses like rhizomatous (turf-type) tall fescues, buffalo grass, and Habiturf native lawn mix. Make sure the grass is suited to the climate and plant according to the label. Then sow the seeds, lightly rake and mulch or lay sod. Water often enough to keep the soil moist until the seeds sprout or the sod roots into the soil be-low. Then water thoroughly when the top few inches of soil are crumbly, but slightly moist to encourage deep roots.

Fertilize new, existing and stressed lawns with a low-ni-trogen slow-release fertilizer like Milorganite. It won’t harm stressed lawns, young seedlings or newly laid sod. It will encour-age slow steady growth. Southern lawns can be fertilized in April and again in early June. In the north fertilize around Memorial Day. And if 2013 turns into an-other hot dry summer, it won’t burn the lawn.

Mow high to encourage deeply rooted grass that is more drought-tolerant and pest-resis-tant. And mow often, removing only a third of the total height. Be sure to leave these short clip-

pings on the lawn. They return moisture, nutrients, and organic matter to the soil.

Repair small dead and bare patches as needed. Use a lawn patch kit, grass seed and mulch. For small spots, loosen the soil surface, sprinkle grass seed and lightly rake. Or mix a handful of grass seed in a bucket of topsoil. Sprinkle the mix over the soil surface.

Do a bit more soil prepara-tion when renovating larger dead areas in the lawn. Remove or kill any weeds that have filled in these areas. Till two inches of compost, peat moss or other organic matter into the top six inches of soil. Sow seed, rake and mulch or lay sod.

Overseed thin and sparse lawns. First, core aerate the lawn to improve soil conditions and increase seed-to-soil contact. Spread grass seed over the aer-ated lawn and water as need-ed. Or rent a slit seeder or hire a professional with this type of equipment. These machines slice through the soil and drop the grass seed in place, increasing the seed-to-soil contact that is need-ed for good germination.

Core aerate lawns that have more than a half-inch of thatch,

those growing in compacted soils, or before overseeding. By removing plugs of soil you break through the thatch and create channels for water and fertilizer to reach the grass roots.

Spot treat weeds on lawns that need minimal repair. Wait at least until fall to treat new and overseeded lawns. Spot treating minimizes the use of chemicals and reduces the stress on already stressed lawns. As always, read and follow label directions care-fully.

Proper maintenance and a bit of cooperation from nature will help transform a lawn from an eyesore to an asset in the land-

scape.

Five projects to increase a home’s value By StatePoint

Selling a home can be challenging. The good news is there are a few tweaks that can give homeowners a serious leg up on the competition.

With the warmer months being the most active time of year to buy and sell real estate, it’s important to ensure your home is seen in the best light possible.

“Despite the infl ux of homes for sale this season, the process of buying and sell-ing a home can be simple, effi cient and en-joyable,” says Wendy Froehlich of Homes.com, one of the nation’s top online real es-tate listing and lifestyle resources.

According to Homes.com, the top fi ve projects that improve home equity are:

BathroomsIf adding an additional bathroom isn’t

an option, upgrade existing ones.Adding a dual vanity to a master or sec-

ondary bath improves functionality, al-lowing multiple people to use the space. Change out fi xtures like faucets and show-er doors to increase aesthetic appeal. If you’re on a budget, replace light fi xtures or switch plates to help refresh the space.

When working with a small space, highlight storage options with shelving and update or remove wall decor, paint or wallpaper.

Outdoor spacesCurb appeal adds immediate interest to

any home’s exterior. According to Remod-eling Magazine, improving outdoor spaces can increase a home’s resale value dollar-for-dollar.

Frame the front walkway with items that add visual interest, like fl owers, pot-ted plants, large rocks of various sizes and solar-powered lights. If yard space is scarce, hanging plants are another great, low-cost option.

Extend outdoor projects to the back-

yard — power-wash decks or patios and clean screened-in areas.

KitchenKitchen renovations can cost anywhere

from $20,000 to $40,000 and more. If that’s not in your budget, upgrading cabi-netry and paint does wonders to liven up even the most outdated spaces.

Add crown or decorative molding to “shape out” the kitchen cabinets and mod-ernize the space. Repaint cabinets, or add new hardware to add visual interest and brighten dark spaces.

BasementBasement improvements can optimize

livable space and protect the home from extreme weather, mold, moisture dam-age and mites. Whether transitioning the basement to a home gym, offi ce or family room, the basics remain the same: insulate well and waterproof.

Maximize space by including shelving and storage units.

If possible, make the space feel open and inviting by creating an open stair-well, a trick that visually connects the up-per part of the house with the lower, and fi lters natural light into the space.

MudroomMudrooms ensure families stay clutter-

free and have a dedicated space to drop stuff as they come through the door. They can also make potential homeowners feel welcome upon entry.

While knocking out a wall to create a mudroom is expensive and labor-inten-sive, you can make a “drop zone” by sim-ply anchoring a bench to an empty wall and hanging labeled storage units.

Making homes stand out in a sea of real estate listings isn’t always easy. More tips on increasing home values can be found at www.Homes.com.

Plan for aerial fire fleet unfundedSenate panel passes bill, but money isn’t includedBy Vic [email protected]

A state Senate panel on April 19 passed legislation that seeks to create an aerial fire-fighting fleet, but it did not give the mea-sure the wings it needs to fly.

The Senate Appropriations Committee approved Senate Bill 245, but it did not pro-vide the funding necessary to purchase air tankers and tactical planes that would make up the Colorado Firefighting Air Corps.

The aircraft, which would have been purchased from the federal government, would have cost $17.5 million.

Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, a com-mittee member, told the bill’s sponsors that he understands how much work they’ve put into the bill.

“And yet it seems like there’s still some more work that needs to be done to bring this idea to fruition,” he said.

The bill’s sponsors — Sens. Cheri Jahn, D-Wheat Ridge, and Sen. Steve King, R-Grand Junction — expressed disappoint-ment that they couldn’t get the fleet funded. But they were pleased that the committee at least passed the bill, in hopes of the state finding the money down the road.

“I am willing to get this through this building in any way, shape or form I can,” Jahn said.

Last year’s Colorado wildfire season was particularly devastating, and forecasters have predicted another hot and dry sum-mer. But, the cost of the bill has always been a concern.

King said he met with Gov. John Hicken-looper’s staff several times over the last nine months to discuss funding for the measure. However, King acknowledged that he never met with the governor personally and that he now wishes he had.

“Maybe I should have sat in his office and waited for him to come out and say, we need to talk about wildfires,” King said.

King was critical of a $10 million wildfire mitigation grant program that the gover-nor and the General Assembly has set aside for dealing with issues such as the damage caused by bark beetles in Colorado’s forests. King argued that fire mitigation shouldn’t carry greater weight than firefighting prep-aration.

Republican Sen. Ted Harvey of High-lands Ranch, a committee member, ex-pressed “disappointment that we haven’t had more engagement by the governor on this issue,” and said that it’s up to the Legis-lature to take the lead on funding the mea-sure.

“This is a serious issue,” Harvey said. “This is life and death. This is national se-curity. It is incumbent (for this legislative body) to force the hand of the administra-tion to find the money and do whatever it is to make this work.”

But Sen. Mary Hodge, D-Brighton, the committee’s chairwoman, defended Hick-enlooper.

“I’m sorry it’s become an indictment on the governor,” she said. “We control the purse strings in this building.”

Hickenlooper spokesman Eric Brown said in an email to Colorado Community Media that the governor’s office supports “the concept of a firefighting fleet and con-tinue to work with lawmakers on the pro-posed legislation.”

“We are also working with the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control on the idea,” Brown wrote. “There is one sig-nificant outstanding issue: Where does the money come from?”

The bill passed the committee 7-0. That vote was preceded by another vote where the three Republicans on the committee were unsuccessful in getting the funding added to the bill, which now heads to the full Senate.

settle the charge. If we aren’t successful, we have the authority to file a lawsuit to pro-tect the rights of individuals and the inter-ests of the public.”

If the EEOC doesn’t take the case, Hasler said he and his attorney will file suit against the city directly.

Lone Tree officials still have not offered an explanation for Hasler’s firing, though

Hidahl said it was “not an arbitrary or ca-pricious decision.”

CIRSA investigated the 2011 allegations from a female police department employee who said Hidahl created a hostile working environment, and found the incident did not rise to that level. Hasler filed the claim for her with Hidahl, and said his relation-ship with the city manager steadily deterio-rated after that.

CIRSA provides municipal insurance policies. Lone Tree is a CIRSA member.

Former Lakewood Police Cmdr. Jeff Streeter was sworn in as Lone Tree’s new police chief March 4.

Where were you born?In Monterey County California, the town of Watson-

ville in Fort Ords Army Hospital. My dad was stationed in Korea with the 82nd airborne and my mother thought it would be fun to live in California, as she and my father were Vermonters.

How long have you lived in the area?Since the end of 1979. The firm I worked for trans-

ferred me from New York City to open a district of-fice here in Denver.

What do you like most about it?I love the sunshine and the mountains. I love the feel-

ing that anything is possible. I love the people that live here and the friends I’ve made through the years.

How long have you worked in Real Estate?I actually grew up in the Real Estate business.

My dad had his own brokerage in Richmond, VA. When I was a junior in High School, he got the “listing” to do all the marketing and sales for a resort in Florida called Innisbrook. We moved there and he continued to sell new construction in the resort industry. My sister

has been a Realtor in South Florida for over 30 years; my brother and sister in laws are Realtors; my brother sells new construction. My son Mason is a third generation Realtor and I have had my license since 2004!

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

My specialty is building relationships and keeping the team together. I tell people I am a “calmanector sandbox referee” which means I keep people calm and connected throughout the transaction and a sandbox referee because I invite everyone into the sandbox and make sure they play

“nice”! The benefit to my clients is that we get to the closing table and they get what

they want!

What is the most challenging part of what you do?

Keeping all the pieces to-gether. It is like working on a large puzzle!

What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working?I am an actress and I adore doing live theatre.

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

Know that it is merchandising, merchandising, merchan-dising! That includes staging and price!

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

Listen to the Realtor you have chosen to represent you. They know the market as they are in it every day. Make sure you communicate clearly your wants and needs and learn to be flexible if the situation demands.

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

A million dollar plus, purple house! The kitchen had hot pink cabinets.

Time your move right to save money Buying a new home is the

most expensive purchase a person is likely to make in his or her lifetime. It also can be one of the more stressful. The Employee Relocation Council states that moving is the third most stressful event in life, following death and di-vorce. But a well-timed move can reduce stress and save money.

Moving during certain times of the year can result in considerable savings. Mov-ing during the summer, when children are out of school and the weather is nice, can make a move more manageable. Keep in mind that because late spring and summer are the peak moving seasons, they also tend to be more ex-pensive. Many moving com-panies and truck rental agen-cies will charge a premium if you use their services during the summer. Furthermore, crews may change in the sum-mer when students on vaca-tion could fill in for regular, more experienced movers.

High prices are not only reserved for those who buy a new house during the spring and summer. Renters may find spring and summer is also the peak season for rent-als. Many apartment manag-ers can attest that the dates between June 2 and August 30 are quite busy in terms of apartment turnover. Col-lege students are more likely to move as soon as the aca-demic year ends, and many landlords plan leases to ex-pire in the summer months to ensure that re-renting places will be easier thanks to a flooded apartment market. According to Apartment Wiz, a Houston-based apartment locating service, although there might be greater apart-ment availability during the warm-weather months, it also means greater competition between prospective tenants. That greater competition can drive up prices.

But apartments are harder to fill in the fall or at the on-set of winter. That’s because

many people do not want the hassle of moving once school has started or the weather has chilled. Landlords who are stuck paying utilities and advertising fees for vacant apartments are far more likely to negotiate rent prices, lease terms and even security de-posits during the winter in an effort to fill the apartment quickly.

People sitting with homes on the market are also more likely to negotiate during cooler months when foot traf-fic has fizzled out. That can make shopping for a home in the fall advantageous to home buyers.

Here are some other tips to reduce stress and save money when moving into a new home or apartment.

• Move mid-week. Week-ends are a prime time for truck rentals and moving companies. Pick a Tuesday or a Wednesday to move, and you’re much more likely to find an available moving ser-vice (even during peak mov-

ing months); you may even be able to negotiate a lower rate.

• Pick a mid-month mov-ing date. Many people move at the beginning of the month when leases are up or after mortgage payments are made. Fewer people move in the middle of the month, so you might find more affordable moving deals if you can wait a few extra weeks.

• Schedule a fall or winter move. The American Moving and Storage Association says half of all moves occur during one-third of the year -- be-tween the beginning of May and Labor Day. Beat the rush by moving outside of these dates.

• Get an early start. Many people underestimate the amount of time it takes to ac-tually move their belongings. Try to schedule a moving company to come very early in the morning to give you ample time to pack up the truck and unpack at your new home. ■

Teens learn film skillsMountain Vista class helps students hone career goalsBy Jane [email protected]

Will Mustin knew in early childhood he wanted to be in the movie business. The Highlands Ranch resident is now a fresh-man at University of Colorado at Boulder, majoring in filmmaking, and he credits his Mountain Vista High School film class for helping him put his dream into motion.

“Wanting to be a director came out of taking that class,” Mustin said. “It really confirmed I love film and that’s absolutely what I want to do in the future.”

It also just may have given him the leg up he’ll need.

“Even now I talk to people who are in the film program here who say, `I didn’t have a film class in my high school,’” Mustin said. “It’s a competitive field, and I feel like I do sort of have that upper hand because of it.”

MVHS Theater Director Jeremy Goldson launched the hands-on filmmaking class, DCTV Academy, a few years ago. At the suggestion of a former student enrolled in the University of California film school, he modeled it after their college-level film pro-duction class.

“As far as I know, there aren’t very many other people who are teaching film produc-tion from this sort of creativity as opposed to technology standpoint,” Goldson said. “There definitely are some students taking it for fun, but we end up sending two to four students a year directly into film school.”

Ryan Taylor plans to be among them.

The senior hopes to attend the Colorado Film School in Denver and become a direc-tor. Like Mustin, he started his exploration into film making at a young age, and quick-ly was hooked.

When he discovered MVHS offered a filmmaking class, “It was like a dream come true,” he said.

As a final project, Taylor is directing a movie that classmate Alex Damle wrote. The dramatic comedy is based on an ini-tially suicidal teenage boy who meets a girl moments before his intended final act.

“It’s more in the style of John Hughes, `The Breakfast Club’ as opposed to slap-stick comedy,” Damle said. “There are defi-nitely some darker themes running through the film.”

In these last weeks of school, the stu-dents are focused on shooting final scenes. Goldson leaves the seniors — some in their third year of his class — largely on their own.

He plays a more direct role with new stu-dents.

“The first semester is figuring out how to translate your idea from your brain into a finished film,” he said.

Students must make three short films from the idea stage to finished product. Because the films are dialogue-free, “They really look at film as a visual medium, and how they can communicate their story without voiceover or text,” Goldson said. “It’s definitely a challenge. It drives them nuts. But they make really great films. At the end of the semester, everybody has made three movies and everybody’s tried all the different jobs.”

That kind of experience is vital for those

wanting to work in the field.“It’s incredibly competitive and hard to

get into, especially into the mainstream Hollywood film industry,” Goldson said.

Mustin knows it won’t be easy, but is confident he’ll succeed.

“It might be just stupid confidence, but I think that’s the way you have to be,” he said. “Be confident in what you’re do-ing and hope people see it the same way you do.”

in an events center not far away‘Star Wars’ comes to Castle RockBy Sonya [email protected]

Douglas County Libraries will celebrate all things “Star Wars” on May 4 at the Doug-las County Events Center, 500 Fairgrounds Drive, Castle Rock.

Paper engineer Matthew Reinhart will demonstrate how he creates his clever and colorful pop-up books, including

“Star Wars: a Pop-up Guide to the Galaxy,” “Mommy?” (co-authored with Maurice Sendak) and “Brava Strega Nona,” (with Tomi DePaola.

Reinhart started out in sciences, on a medical school track, but had always been interested in arts and crafts. He met author Robert Saluda during a volunteer project in New York and was persuaded to pursue his art.

He studied at Pratt Institute and is very successful in designing pop-up books.

The first demonstration will be at 10 a.m. and he will do a second demonstration at 1

p.m. Books will be available for sale at the event, from Tattered Cover Book Store, and Reinhart will sign books after each demon-stration.

Other activities include crafts, snacks and photo opportunities with “Star Wars” characters.

At 11:15, there will be a Radio Disney show.

The event is part of the library’s Project LIVE author series. General admission tick-ets cost $5, available at DouglasCountyLi-braries.org. For information, call 303-791-7323. Parker continues on Page 21

‘Duck’ stars grace Rock

The Rock Christian Academy in Castle Rock has bagged Phil and Willie Robert-son, two of the stars of the wildly popular “Duck Dynasty,” A&E’s reality series, for a speaking engagement and fundraiser be-ginning at 6:30 p.m. May 19 at The Douglas County Events Center.

Event organizer and Rock Christian Academy parent Michael Brumbaugh took dead aim at the Robertson clan months ago by contacting the family’s agent and refusing to give up. His persistence paid off.

Phil and Willie, part of the family that made its fortune in products for duck hunters, will speak about “Faith, testimony, business, the importance of raising chil-dren with biblical principles and a Chris-tian education.”

“We need to do a big event every year to continue to fund the scholarship fund,” Brumbaugh said. “I thought about it for a couple of months, then started watching `Duck Dynasty.’ I thought, `These guys are great! I wonder if they do speaking engage-ments since they come from a Christian family?’”

The persistent parent hounded the agent until he got a “confirmed” answer. “When your heart is in something and you believe in something as strong as the Rock Academy, and how God is moving in that school, you fight for what you believe in,” he said. “This year God blessed us with `Duck Dynasty.’”

With 8.6 million viewers, A&E’s “Duck Dynasty” is the highest-rated reality show on cable TV. The money raised from the event’s ticket sales will help fund a 10,000-square-foot expansion of the exist-ing building, build the school’s playground and provide financial aid and scholarships to families who can’t afford the $4,700 an-nual tuition.

VIP tickets (with a pre-event meet and greet) are $150; other tickets are $60 for general admission to $80 for “gold seating” right behind the VIP seats.

Elway’s concerts scheduledThe hottest patio of the season is

Elway’s at Cherry Creek — no doubt, no argument.

Elway’s Cherry Creek summer con-certs return with live music, cocktails, the signature menu and beautiful Colorado evenings in the Elways’ backyard starting June 19.

These wildly popular outdoor concerts play each Wednesday night from mid-June through late August, including the return of the Railbenders to the Summer Music Series and a special Independence Day July 3 celebration for 2013 featuring local legends The Samples along with special food and cocktails.

Appearing this year are several trib-ute bands including Message in a Bottle, covering The Police; Forever in Blue Jeans, channeling Neil Diamond standards; and Under a Blood Red Sky, who rock out U2 hits.

The brotherly harmonies of Something Underground take stage on July 10. And newcomers, Justin Lane Band, will bring hard-hitting country to the backyard while all-girl band The Trishas deal a combina-tion of tight four-part harmonies in an eclectic soulful sound.

Fans of funk will enjoy Funkiphino, and That Eighties Band promises their name-sake rock.

Murphey, Lone Tree orchestra join forces Singer-songwriter appearing in two shows at arts center By Jane Reuter [email protected]

Though Michael Martin Murphey’s mu-sical repertoire extends well beyond the hit single “Wildfi re,” he never tires of singing his signature song.

“I’m not exaggerating or making this up; I enjoy singing it more and more every day,” he said. “Every time I sing it, people light up. Thank the Lord it wasn’t a song about drinking, depression and divorce (but) a song about a horse and the wide open plains.”

Murphey will perform “Wildfi re” and other pieces with the Lone Tree Symphony Orchestra May 3 and 4 at the Lone Tree Arts Center. Gov. John Hickenlooper will intro-duce Murphey during his May 4 perfor-mance.

The show is a unique blend of cowboy and orchestra music, one Murphey fi nds natural and appropriate.

“You need a big, sweeping, grand sound

to capture the majesty of the Rocky Moun-tains and the great, wide open plains of our country,” he said. “No one is more excited than me. I love doing this show. I really en-joy my other shows, but when you get to work with anywhere from 48 to 100 musi-cians and collaborate with them, you walk away humbled and inspired.”

Off stage, the 68-year-old rancher di-vides his time among three homes in Wis-consin, Texas and southern Colorado. He and his wife own 35 brood mares and two studs. One of his daughters is a trainer in Colorado, who prepares Murphey’s horses for competition.

He’s devoted to promoting and protect-ing the ranching and farming lifestyle, and uses proceeds from his musical perfor-mances to buy agricultural land.

“I support what I love and I believe you’re giving back when you do that,” he said. “You’re adding to America and the world’s food supply and you’re taking care of the land, keeping it open space, not giv-ing it over to some developer. I’m deeply committed to making sure that doesn’t dis-appear.”

Murphey also wrote the theme song and provided some material for a public broad-casting program called “America’s Heart-

land,” that focuses on farmers’ and ranch-ers’ experiences.

Strong as his love of the land is, music re-mains his fi rst life, and “Wildfi re” his most ethereal song.

“I dreamed every scene in that song,” he said.

“It was so arresting I woke up and wrote it down on a yellow pad. I had this vision of a ghostly, mysterious woman … riding across a dark, fl at prairie landscape with the Badlands and the Black Hills in the back-ground.

“I really can’t fully tell you what the song means. It’s very symbolic of freedom and escape. But other than that, it’s a mystery to me. I’ve spent the rest of my life trying to fi gure out what it means.”

As Murphey’s dream helped transform his life, he encourages others to pay atten-tion to theirs.

“We’re so weighed down by the business of life,” he said.

“All that fi lls up space in your brain that should be used for dreaming. If I could say anything to people, I would say, `Don’t live by your goals. Don’t live by your appoint-ments. Live by your dreams.’”

An outsized influence on the gameGreenlaw is goals, points leader in leagueBy Jim [email protected]

Kirsten Greenlaw is a little girl with a big shot.

Greenlaw, a sophomore at Rock Canyon High School, plays on the ThunderRidge girls lacrosse team, which draws players from Highlands Ranch, Mountain Vista, Rock Canyon and ThunderRidge High Schools.

She leads the Continental League in goals with 44, and her 58 points makes her the league’s scoring leader.

Greenlaw is a standout on the field, even though sometimes she might be hard to find when she is being defensed by bigger defenders.

“You would never know just by looking at her that she could be so dominant on the lacrosse field, she is so tiny and quick” said ThunderRidge coach Alanna Gilbertson. “Even though she is only a sophomore, she is definitely a leader on our team and helps control the pace of the game.

“She is a lefty, which is always a plus in girls lacrosse, and she has one of the hardest shots I have seen in my 11 years of coaching. She has a unique talent for being able to get the shot off quickly and accurately.”

Greenlaw, 5-foot-6, has been playing lacrosse for the past six years and really doesn’t think a lot about goals, assists or points.

“It’s always a surprise when I hear the stats,” said Greenlaw.

“All I know is I want to continue to get better each game and each year. I love this sport. My position is attack and that’s what I love to do is attack the net.

“I don’t think about being a high scorer, I just love to fire it into the net. I love the challenge of weaving between players and being a natural lefty, it helps throw off de-

fenders. My favorite shot is a wrap, angle shot to the top corner.”

Being a smaller player hasn’t been a dis-advantage.

“A lot of teams send their bigger de-fenders on me because they think they can block me right away but my quickness has always been an advantage for me,” said

Greenlaw. “So I definitely get some jaws to drop when I go right past these bigger defenders.”

Greenlaw scored 51 goals and had had 19 assists last season as a fresh-man and was an All-Continental League pick and an honorable mention All-State selection.

“My goal is to again make first team Con-tinental League plus first team All-State,” said Greenlaw, who is going to try out for the national team in May.

“Of course, I couldn’t be who I am with-out my teammates, especially Haley Kroll, Brianna LeCompte and Millie Micho. We work well together transitioning down the field.”

ThunderRidge lost six seniors who were starters, but with 10 new players, the 2013 Grizzlies have been competitive, with a 5-5 record.

“Kirsten has some pretty great team-mates that have helped her to be so suc-cessful,” said Gilbertson. “Haley Kroll and Brianna LeCompte have definitely been very important factors in our team’s suc-cess over the last four years. Even though their goal stats might not be as impressive as Kirsten’s, they are both amazing players. Haley had 35 goals and 10 assists. Brianna has 21 goals and nine assists. They will both be continuing on the collegiate level, Bri-anna at LIU Post in New York and Haley at Mesa State.”

Mountain Vista shuts out Heritage in soccerGolden Eagles win 3-0 in hard-fought battleBy Tom [email protected]

The Heritage-Mountain Vista soccer game again proves statistics go out the win-dow when teams take the field

Based on won-loss records, Mountain Vista appeared to be heavily favored, with a 9-1 season record and 6-0 in league, while Heritage was 1-7-2 overall and 1-3-2 in league.

But the game turned out to be a hard-fought battle from the opening kickoff. In the end, Mountain Vista preserved its un-defeated league record with a 3-0 win.

Games take on added importance as both teams head down the home stretch of the regular season.

Heritage was scheduled to play High-lands Ranch on April 23 and then face ThunderRidge on April 25. The final regu-lar season game is April 30 at 7 p.m. against Legend at Littleton Stadium.

At the same time, Mountain Vista was to play Castle View April 25 and to play Little-ton on April 29. The team wraps up the reg-ular season April 30 with a 4:30 p.m. game against Highlands Ranch at Shea Stadium.

Mountain Vista is in position to win the Continental League title for the fourth year in a row, which earns them an automatic

berth in the 32-team Class 5A playoffs.“We have a lot of talent on our team and

have the skills to play ball-control soccer, moving the ball around and always work-ing for a good shot on goal,” Golden Eagles coach Therese Echetermeyer said before the Heritage game.

“We are also strong defensively. We have

a solid back line that doesn’t let many at-tackers get behind them and we also have talented goalkeepers.”

The Golden Eagles have scored 33 goals and given up two. Twelve players have scored goals so far this season and 14 play-ers have assists. The leading scorer is fresh-man Mallory Pugh who has 12 goals and

one assists. Megan Massey had five goals and five assists and Maddy Smith has six goals and four assists.

After the game, Heritage coach Adam Buseck praised the way his team played in this game and all season.

“We fought hard the whole game as we have in all our games,” the coach said.

“Today, we made a couple of mistakes early and, since they are a good team, they took advantage of those mistakes to score goals.”

Buseck said his team depth is a major plus because he can keep fresh players on the field throughout the game without im-pacting the quality of his team’s play.

The coach said his team struggled a little early, but he encourages the team to keep battling because they are not out of the playoff picture yet.

“This is a good soccer team with a lot of talented players on the roster,” he said. “We have had some players sidelined with injuries but we still are very competitive. With the exception of Mountain Vista, our league is very competitive, so we could start winning games and still get one of the wild-card spots in the playoffs.”

The team has spread the scoring around, with three players scoring goals and five players with assists. Alyssa Biever, a sopho-more, is the scoring leader with three goals, and teammate Ellen Best, a freshman, has a goal and has taken a team-high 15 shots on goal.

Huskies win convincingly over Sabercats Douglas County boys ‘real focused’ in baseball victory By Jim Benton [email protected]

At fi rst, the comment sounded a lot like coachspeak, which are words and phrases often uttered repeatedly by coaches over and over again.

However, Douglas County High School baseball coach Mark Roberts accurately described the Huskies’ 11-2 Continental League victory over cross-town rival Castle View as “a total team victory.”

Everybody in the Huskies lineup contributed a hit or scored a run in the April 19 victory on the Douglas County diamond.

“The boys came out real focused,” Roberts said.

Douglas County collected 12 hits, including three home runs.

The sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth hitters in the Huskies lineup (Tyler Quintana, Jared Montoya, Codi Guillory and Austin Pitchford) had six hits and two homers, scored fi ve runs and drove in fi ve runs.

Starting pitcher Trent Maloney was touched for two runs in the top of the fi rst inning but settled down and al-lowed only one hit in the last fi ve in-nings.

The senior right-hander retired the last eight batters he faced in a seven-inning, completed game, fi ve-hit per-formance.

“He really settled down and we an-swered with fi ve runs in the bottom of the fi rst,” Roberts said.

Castle View starting pitcher Trevor Smeeton got the fi rst two outs in the

bottom of the fi rst but then suffered control problems as he walked the next three batters to load the bases.

Quintana delivered a single to score one run and then Montoya, the Huskies sophomore second basemen, sent a 3-2 pitch over the right-center-fi eld fence for a grand slam home run.

“He’s been our leadoff hitter,” ex-plained Roberts. “I dropped him to seventh to take a little pressure off him. I moved everybody up in the lineup and put him seventh. I guess he likes hitting seventh.”

Montoya got the pitch he wanted and smacked his fi rst home run of the season.

“I was looking for a fastball,” Mon-toya said.

“I just went with the pitch. I get more pitches to hit when hitting sev-enth.”

Pitchford and Maloney hit solo homers for Douglas County. Maloney, Quintana and Logan Kiefer each had two hits for the Huskies.

Castle View never recovered after giving up the fi ve fi rst-inning runs.

“You get the fi rst two outs in the in-ning and everything is looking good,” Sabercats coach Shawn Wyss said. “Trevor didn’t make adjustments. You walk three guys in an inning and it has a way to get to you.”

Junior third baseman Kaleb Geiger had two singles and a walk to pace Castle View. He drove in both Saber-cats runs in the fi rst inning.

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS ROUNDUP Legend baseball on a roll

Legend, last spring’s runners-up in the Class 5A state baseball tourna-ment, won only one it its fi rst fi ve games this season. However, the Titans are playing good baseball now after collecting two key Continental League victories last week over Moun-tain Vista and Douglas County.

Legend’s Bobby Dalbec pitched a four-hit shutout and had two hits in the 2-0 win over Mountain Vista on April 19. The Titans followed the next day with a 10-6 triumph over Douglas County.

The Titans (8-5 overall) entered this week in a three-team tie for second place in the league with a 4-1 record. Regis Jesuit and Thunder-Ridge are also 4-1. Chaparral is 5-0 in league play.

Chaparral, which owns victories over Legend and Regis, romped to a 9-3 win over Ponderosa on April 15 and walloped Littleton, 17-2, on April 19.

Max Kuhns, the league’s leading hitter with a .639 average, went 6-for-7 with six runs batted in and two homers in the two games.

ThunderRidge blanked Highlands Ranch, 8-0, on April 19 and whipped Littleton, 12-2 on April 20.

Brody Westmoreland had three hits against the Falcons and hit his league-leading fi fth homer in the win over Littleton.

In other action last week, Valor Christian traveled to the Western Slope and despite being outhit 23-18, notched two victories.

Kyle Robbins had three hits and Justin Falls smacked a grand slam

homer April 19 in a 12-11 victory over Durango in a game played in Mon-trose. On April 20, Daniel Lund hit a three-run homer and Valor scored a run in the top of the seventh for a 5-4 win over Montrose, the state’s top-ranked Class 4A team.

Lutheran swept a doubleheader from Resurrection Christian on April 20, winning 7-6 and 10-4.

The Lions had 11 hits in both games as Lutheran stretched its win-ning streak to seven games.

Huskies boys win track meetDouglas County won the boys title

in the Rock Canyon Jaguar Invitation-al track meet, which was held April 20. The Huskies totaled 102 points and fi nished ahead of Rock Canyon and Chaparral, which tied for second with 92 points.

Rock Canyon captured the girls title with 142 points and Chaparral was 40 points behind in second place.

Individual winners included Douglas County’s Trey Smith in the 100-meter dash (10.95), Travis Anderson of Chaparral in the 1,600 meter run (4:42.05), Douglas County’s Jacob Lucero in the 3,200 meter run (10:06.74), Nathanael Norris of Doug-las County in the long jump (20-11), Rock Canyon’s Cameron Gill in the triple jump (46-5), Austin Hostetler of Douglas County in the high jump (6-3) and Chaparral’s Nolan Ellis in the pole vault (13-6).

Douglas County’s Solana Quistorff won the 1,600 meter run (5:22.31) to highlight to girls individual winners. Rock Canyon’s Rhyan Pettaway cap-tured the 100-meter hurdles (15.94)

and Jenna Lanskey of Chaparral was fi rst in the 300-meter hurdles (47.12). Katrina Bacovcin of Chaparral was the high jump winner (5-4) and Rock Canyon’s Kelsey Lindemann took the shot put (38-8).

ThunderRidge freshman wins 400 metersFreshman Kamryn Hart of Thun-

derRidge won the 400 meters on April 20 at the Dakota Ridge Invitational with a time of 58.14.

She was also on ThunderRidge’s winning 4x800 relay team. Emma Atwell, Niki Hemminger, Emily Waters and Hart clocked a 9:50.24 to win the event. Castle View’s Brittany Reiner won the long jump with a 17-2 effort.

Mountain Vista’s Andrew Walton won the boys 3,200 meter run in 9:36.42 and Joel Isakson of Thunder-Ridge was timed in 40.51 to win the 300-meter hurdles.

Falcons signs letters of intentFive Highlands Ranch athletes

They were Rachel Szczepanski (volleyball) with Fort Hays State, Abri-ana Lujan (basketball) with Western Nebraska, Chris DeMarco (soccer) with Hastings College, Cassie Currie (basketball) with Missouri Baptist University and Isaiah Parros (basket-ball) with Western Wyoming.

WSundays on the Streets adds eats Food trucks to rally at Centennial outdoor market By Deborah Grigsby [email protected]

Local hipsters and foodies, re-joice.

Sundays on the Streets, Cen-tennial’s yearly outdoor art mar-ket known for its eclectic taste in all things artsy, now hopes to be known for all things tasty, too.

Along with its new location at Cherry Knolls Shopping Center, directly across the street from The Streets at SouthGlenn, event promoter Robin Loughran says this year’s market will include an army of food trucks.

Yes, food trucks.No longer the last bastion for

sandwiches at construction sites, Loughran said food trucks have morphed into trendy mobile ca-tering options offering a smor-gasbord of different cuisines.

“It’s a perfect combination for us this year,” she said. “They’ve long been a hit downtown and we hope to have the largest col-lection of gourmet food trucks in the city at Sundays on the Streets and we’ve already got fi ve trucks confi rmed.”

A summertime staple at The Streets at SouthGlenn, Loughran also said the market’s decision move to Cherry Knolls was based on the need for more space and options for vendors.

“We’ve got a little more room to spread out, and while vendor tents are encouraged, they are not required,” she said.

“We will also have more fl ex-ibility when it comes to parking and setup.”

Sundays on the Streets fea-tures the wares of local artisans, photographers and other crafty

folk.“There’s jewelry, handbags,

designer accessories, baked goods and this year, we’ve added antiques,” said Loughran.

The market is held monthly on the second Sunday, beginning on Mother’s Day, May 12.

Market hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Loughran said interested vendors, artisans, musicians and food trucks should con-tact her directly for an applica-tion. While space is still avail-able, she expects to be sold out soon.

“Centennial is my home, too,” she said. “And Sundays on the Streets is just one way to cele-brate the people of this wonder-ful community and in which we live.”

Local event promoter Robin Loughran is promising Centennial’s largest rally of trendy food trucks each month at Sunday on the Streets, the city’s annual outdoor market, which begins May 12. Food trucks, like Denver-based Solar Co� ee, pictured here, have become popular among hipsters and foodies. Photo by Deborah Grigsby

SafeSplash will host safety fair Second annual event o� ers entertainment with serious purpose By Jane Reuter [email protected]

Between Memorial Day and La-bor Day 2012, 137 children under the age of 15 drowned in a pool or spa, according to the U.S. Con-sumer Product Safety Commission, and drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death among 1- to 4-year-olds.

Parker’s SafeSplash Swim School is doing its part to drive those num-bers down.

It will host its second annual Spring Fling from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. May 4 at its location just off Lincoln Av-enue and Lioness Way. The event is designed to entertain even as it

educates.“Our focus is safety, especially

since we are going into our most dangerous time of year for drown-ings,” said SafeSplash assistant gen-eral manager Alicia Romero. “We wanted to do a give-back-to-the-community type of event, incor-porating safety and making it a fun event for the kids. We want parents and kids to have all the tools to get safely through the summer.”

Highlights of the event include free child IDs; booster seat educa-tion; food and frozen yogurt sam-ples; crafts; a bouncy house; visits with Lone Tree Police, South Metro Fire, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Offi ce and McGruff the Crime Dog; and a raffl e for prizes including a free swim lessons.
