Open-carry ban could face repeal Staff now directed to change course

the fourth floor yet, so recently it let the Douglas County-based nonprofit Project ReCycle organization set up shop there for the time being.

Folkenberg said the hospital, at 2350 Meadows Blvd., is equally focused on promoting wellness and caring for the ill.

“Given our mission and focus on wellness, I had been searching for a way to put this resource to work when I met some leaders and volunteers from Project Recycle,”

After considering repealing its ban on open carrying of weapons in town-owned buildings and on town properties, Castle Rock Town Council in September — in front of a mainly pro-ban audience — decided instead to direct staff to draft a ban ordinance with improvements.

But that was September.

On Dec. 3, in front of an anti-ban audience, the town council voted 7-0 to direct staff to draft a proposed ordinance to repeal the ban.

As part of the vote, the council tabled the proposed ordinance they directed staff in September to draft — which was to clarify wording to make it absolutely clear it was the council, not the town manager, that had the authority to impose the ban, and also added open space and trails to the ban.

Councilmember Clark Hammelman, who has supported continuing the ban, said he voted the way he did Dec. 3 because “I knew that vote sets up a future public hearing where hopefully we’ll have all perspectives on this issue … I want to hear from all of the public and town employees and users of our facilities.”

At the Dec. 3 meeting, everyone from the public who spoke on the issue, more than 20, were opposed to the expansion of the ban and supported repeal. Hammelman said he and other council members received about 150 emails with that

Broken bikes heal at hospital Project ReCycle sets up shop in Castle Rock

By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com It was a mostly empty fourth floor, thousands upon thousands of empty square feet in the new Castle Rock Adventist Hospital — because the plan was to have that extra floor for future growth, have it ready when needed.

Change of plans.

Now, all of a sudden, more than half of it is full, full of hundreds of patients — ranging from those that just need a little dusting off to those that need such things as a new seat, cosmetic changes or mechanical work.

Bicycles. There are hundreds of donated bikes there, becoming almost new again, being repaired for future giveaways to kids —and some adults — who otherwise wouldn’t have a bike.

20 families, 20 stories of struggle Douglas/Elbert Task Force is crucial safety net

It’s in an industrial park on Park Street in Castle Rock — past storage units and a gun shop, and various other shops, in one of those nondescript rectangular buildings, where every day 20 or more families come to get help — many for food, clothing, money so utilities aren’t turned off, so rent can be paid.

Jenny Follmer, the client service manager at the Douglas/ Elbert Task Force, 1638 Park St., usually stops at 20 families, a task force rule. The 21st person want-

ing to sign up to get help is asked to come back the next morning.

But it’s the holidays. “We’re so swamped,” said Follmer, sitting behind a desk that has on it the day’s stack of file folders with 20 families’ paperwork in them.

So even though she’s seen 20 this day, she’s still trying to help three or four more and has calls out to churches and others to see if help is out there — for the family whose electricity has been turned off and the family with seven children whose house has been foreclosed on and they’re being evicted in a couple of days.

Follmer, who has degrees in marketing and Spanish, volunteered here for four years, and liked helping people, so she took a job with the agency more than two years ago, trying to help some

more. Sometimes she can, sometimes it’s tough.

This day was some of both.

And she goes back through them all. She opens up the first file folder: First family: A Castle Rock family, renters, mom, fiancé and three kids. The utilities have been turned off. Both adults are in school and have part-time jobs.

They have food stamps, but they can’t buy some things with them — toilet paper, toothpaste, diapers. They need help getting their utilities back on and they need food.

Families can get food every 30 days from the task force, and the amount depends on how many Struggle continues on Page 15

Surveyor loses court battle Judge rules that duties are up to county commissioners

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com The Douglas County commissioners recently won a district court case involving the county’s elected surveyor, Dale Hamilton.

As reported in an August story published by Colorado Community Media, the two sides had been tied up in litigation since February 2012, when the commissioners took the surveyor to court 13 months after he took office, stating that he was not performing the duties of his office, as outlined by the county.

“It’s an unfortunate turn of events that the commissioners have to turn around and sue another elected official to do his job the way everybody except Mr. Hamilton thinks he should do his job,” said former Morgan County attorney George Monsson — who represented the commissioners in the case — at the time.

Multiple issues were at stake in the lawsuit, most notably, as Hamilton says, the county’s refusal to replace thousands of witness corners and survey monuments that had been destroyed in Highlands Ranch during sidewalk replacement projects in 2005 and 2007, an issue he brought forward to the commissioners after taking office.

Ironically, Hamilton, who has been a surveyor for 51 years, once won a Colorado Supreme Court case helping to establish a law that states it is illegal to destroy

survey monuments — which help to identify where property lines exist — and not have them properly and professionally replaced.

When Hamilton pointed to that law, he was told by the commissioners he would have to bid for the work, and after multiple bids for the work and a request for funds to inspect other neighborhoods for potential missing corners, he was informed that there was no budget to replace the corners and it was not his job to inspect plats for compliance, but only to settle disputes the county called on him to settle.

“The real dispute (was) how you read the statutes and what Mr. Hamilton wants to do and how he wants to change them,” said Monsonn, a former surveyor himself. “After numerous disagreements, the county made the decision to sue to have the judge properly interpret the statutes.”

Judge Paul King, who denied Hamilton’s request for a jury trial, ruled from the bench on the side of the commissioners, stating that “the final authority for determining discretionary duties of the (surveyor) rests solely with the board and the (surveyor) is precluded from assuming any duties not expressly authorized by the board.”

Hamilton was told by King in the October ruling that the board was “under no obligation to provide a budget for (the surveyor)” and that he “has no authority to independently assert disputed section and quarter section corners.”

According to state statute, “the county surveyor is responsible for any surveying duties pertaining to the county and for settling boundary disputes when

directed by a court or when requested by interested parties. The county surveyor establishes the boundaries of county property, including road rights-of-way, and supervises construction surveys that impact the county. County surveyors also create survey markers and monuments, and conduct surveys relating to toll roads and reservoirs.”

“The commissioners, with the blessings of the court, have effectively closed the door to the surveyor’s office,” said Hamilton, adding that he will not run for re-election in 2014. “After a year and a half of litigation, and a cost to me (personally) in excess of $35,000, I’m out of business.”

Hamilton, who earns $5,500 annually to perform his duties as surveyor, ran for office with the intention of establishing a physical office in Castle Rock and ramping up the duties of the county surveyor in accordance with his understanding of state statute. And while he says he is unable to perform his duties without a budget, the county commissioners expect him to continue to work as others have done before him.

“With the judge’s clarifying ruling, we anticipate that Mr. Hamilton will now perform the job he has been elected to do, just as all predecessor elected surveyors in Douglas County have done consistently, based on the same existing statutes,” said a written statement on behalf of the commissioners, issued by spokeswoman Wendy Holmes.

Hamilton said the ruling prevents him from following any of the duties outlined in the statute, however, and that with a lack of budget to run his office — which is operated out of his Larkspur

Douglas County Surveyor Dale Hamilton lost his legal battle with the county over what he felt his elected position entails vs. what the county says it does. Hamilton still says that he is unable to perform his duties without an office or a budget File photo home — his hands are tied.

“We got started on the wrong foot,” Hamilton said. “I showed them within a month where they broke the law and they didn’t like it. There are places where they are breaking federal law right now, but who is going to do anything about it?

“The judge didn’t want to open this thing up so the public could hear and I don’t have the money to appeal. ... People don’t understand that without surveyors, this country would be in chaos. Surveyors keep property lines where they legally should be.”

Charter frustrated by lack of help School district says finding location isn’t its responsibility

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com

SUPPORT

Supporters of a prospective charter school with nowhere to build believe the Douglas County School District has the power to help it, but district leaders say it isn’t their responsibility.

Under a process adopted in 2012, it will only help charter schools if the district has a need for more student capacity.

World Compass Academy, which already has a list of 500 potential students, is fast approaching a critical deadline. Its backers say they’ve done an exhaustive search for space in the Castle Rock area and are out of options. They also are nearly out of time to make their desired fall 2014 opening.

“We can’t expect parents to enroll (students) without a location,” World Compass Academy board president Bethany Merkling said. “We’re willing to partner with the district; anything they’d be willing to offer us would be something we’d consider.

“From our perspective, there are thousands of kids on (charter school) wait lists all over Castle Rock. So to me that indicates there’s a need for more charters.”

The best option, they believe, is to lease a town-owned lot reserved for a school in the developing Crystal Valley Ranch neighborhood in southern Castle Rock. Crystal Ranch’s developer also wants to see the charter built there.

But DCSD leaders say those lengthy lists — some of which extend years into the future — don’t indicate a lack of seats for the district’s students.

“We are here to support World Compass Academy,” said Richard Cos-

CURRENT WAITING LISTS AT SOME dCSd ChARTER SChOOLS American Academy — 2,180 American Academy has campuses in Parker and Castle Pines Parker Core Knowledge, Parker — 3,703 (List extends to children who would enroll in 2019) Platte River Academy, Highlands Ranch — About 4,000 SkyView Academy, Highlands Ranch — 2,271 (List extends to children who would enroll in 2025) STEM Academy, Highlands Ranch — 350 grove, DCSD’s director of planning and construction. “It’s just right now we can’t give up a dedicated school site because we don’t have capacity needs.

“We have to be prudent and hold onto future school sites for the growth that’s going to happen.”

DCSD adopted the request-for-proposal process after it assisted Castle Rock’s Aspen View Academy and the Parker campus of American Academy — both of which opened in 2013 after agreeing to offset capacity needs by giving priority to neighborhood students.

District officials said they needed to build new schools in those areas, but didn’t have the money to do so.

The two charters’ willingness to accept neighborhood students made providing a site to American Academy and helping Aspen View with both a site and financing a win for all.

In the future, “If and when we do need classroom space, we could issue an RFP for charter schools,” Cosgrove said. “That would be open to all and competitive. As part of that, we could offer the use of one of the dedicated school sites, or we may not.”

Crystal Valley Ranch developer Jer-

ry Richmond said his company is platting 500 new lots. Currently, 600 people live in the fledging development.

He also noted other developments in the area that will draw more families.

Richmond would like to see the charter school build on one of the two sites reserved for elementary schools; the other could remain open for a future neighborhood school.

“We’re very supportive of World Compass coming into the community,” he said. “It just doesn’t seem like the Douglas County School District is giving any credence to the residents that currently live there.”

A charter school is a public school operated by a group of parents, teachers or community members under a contract with the school district. It has more flexibility than district-operated schools in its choice of curriculum and school operations. Douglas County is home to 12 charter schools.

The years-long waiting lists are what motivated former teacher Merkling to help start a school; she hopes to see her young children attend World Compass. Based on her history and belief in the importance of foreign language, the proposed school would include early foreign language education in French, Mandarin and Spanish.

The international focus is not otherwise available in Douglas County now, Merkling said; it’s a choice she feels parents should have.

DCSD likely would extend World Compass’ application another year, but Merkling doesn’t think that will make a difference for them.

“The problem is there isn’t adequate lease space,” she said. “Unless a new option becomes available, we’re going to be in the exact same place next year.”

Another proposed charter with an emphasis on foreign language, Global Village Academy, aims to open for the 2014-15 academic year in northeastern Douglas County.

Woman wins $1,000 shopping spree at Outlets

Bonaventure &You

By George Lurie

Together we can make a difference

glurie@ourcoloradonews.com A Highlands Ranch woman was the lucky winner of a $1,000 shopping spree at the Outlets at Castle Rock.

Heather Whiting won the prize during the Moonlight Madness event held at the shopping center on Black Friday.

“It was a random drawing and you had to be present to win,” said Whiting. “I usually go to the mall with my two teenage daughters at 3 a.m. on Black Friday. But this year we decided not to be so zealous and got there at 6.”

When the drawing was held later Black Friday morning, the person whose name was first pulled out of the hopper was not there.

“So they spun again and pulled my name out,” Whiting said. “I was shocked.”

Whiting said she spent part of the loot “on new clothes and boots” for both her and her daughters.

“I thought about buying some fancy designer purses but decided to be practical,” she said. “I’m actually saving some of the gift card for the post-Christmas sales.”

Bonaventure is guided by the belief that “you can never go wrong doing the right thing.”

Doing the right thing doesn’t just stop with our residents. Bonaventure proudly supports a number of local charities dedicated to making a difference in the community, and this holiday season we’re partnering with you to make an even greater impact.

Murray named ‘Person of Year’ Rotary Clubs honor retiring state representative Special to Colorado Community Media Retiring state Rep. Carole Murray, a Republican from Castle Rock who has been a longtime community leader in Douglas County, was recently selected as Person of the Year by the Rotary Clubs of Castle Rock.

Murray, who represents parts of Douglas and Teller counties in the Colorado House of Representatives, has a long history of public service, said Les Lilly, president of the Castle Rock High Noon Rotary Club, who helped present the honor at a recent joint meeting of the clubs at Castle Rock’s Kirk Hall.

The award is presented annually by the Rotary Clubs to recognize a person who has contributed to the welfare of the community and has shown exemplary leadership and public service.

Murray, who has lived in the area for 35 years, has been executive director of the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce, and was Douglas County’s clerk and recorder for eight years prior to running for the House seat in 2008.

Murray is the ranking Republican member of the House Education Committee, a member of the Judiciary Committee and the Legislative Council. Her main interests there have been education and election policy and procedures.

Murray made news earlier this year when she was one of just two House Republicans to vote in favor of civil unions. The bill passed with majority Democratic support and is now Colorado law.

Murray told the Rotarians that although she is not term-limited, she is retiring.

“I’m not running again,” Murray said. “I don’t want to get up by the alarm clock anymore and I’ve lost patience with all the meetings.

“I’m going to step aside for someone who still has that `fire in the belly.’”

Murray said in the upcoming legislative session she would be introducing bills on teacher certification and telecom updates.

Murray said her long service in the county prepared her well for her role in the legislature.

“Whenever I’m at the podium or some other leadership

The Douglas County School Board swore in four recently elected members, said goodbye to two departing ones and appointed a new president and vice president during its Dec. 5 meeting.

Kevin Larsen was selected as president and Doug Benevento vice president, both through a unanimous vote of their fellow board members.

Benevento, elected to a second term this November, and re-elected board member Meghann Silverthorn, along with newcomers Jim Geddes and Judi Reynolds, took oaths of office at the meeting’s start.

Term-limited board president John Carson left the board after serving for eight years, the last four as president. Board member Carrie Mendoza, on the board less than a year while filling a vacated post, also ended her service at the meeting’s start.

Benevento said he intends to serve in a supporting role, and will “help others accomplish what they want to do and not run out and try to take the lead.”

Larsen elaborated verbally on previous comments about improving communica-

tion with and outreach to the community.

He made one change aimed at accomplishing those goals during the meeting by extending public comment from two to three minutes per person. The time limit will be strictly enforced, regardless of the topic, he said.

“I’m going to extend the time from the norm we’ve enjoyed but firmly enforce the time we put out there,” Larsen said. “When you reach the zero hour, the gavel will come down and the comment will conclude. I’ll be fair about that and consistent.”

Larsen also said items already on a meeting agenda will have priority in public comment, with other opportunities made available for more general comments.

“There are many more things that bring this community together than separate us,” he said, urging all to communicate using “civil tones.” “I’m looking forward to using my ears as well as my tongue to create (a good) atmosphere.”

Board members unanimously adopted a resolution honoring Carson that praised him for a commitment to innovation, and putting students and parents first. It noted his leadership role in the voucher program, changes to teachers’ evaluation and compensation methods, enhanced school security and restructuring of many aspects of the district.

“I look forward as a citizen to watching you carry on,” Carson said.

Teachers union president resigns Leader of controversial negotiations accepts Cherry Creek position

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Douglas County Federation President Brenda Smith is resigning after leading the local teachers union for seven years, the last two of which were rocked with tumult when the group’s long-standing relationship with the school district crumbled.

Smith starts her new position as the Cherry Creek School District’s director of educator effectiveness Jan. 1.

The union’s 47-year collective-bargaining agreement with the school district expired in June 2012 after hours of sometimes-heated negotiations. Smith and a team of union board members and teachers led the 100-hour-plus process.

In a Dec. 4 letter emailed to union members, Smith said she struggled with the decision but couldn’t walk away from a chance to again work in a school district.

She was an elementary school teacher before taking a position with the union.

“Our strength has always been in our active membership, and this will remain no matter who is elected into office,” Smith wrote in her letter to members. “Although I’ll be stepping down as president, I will continue to fight as a parent with three children in our schools and as a member of

the Douglas County community.”

She declined further comment.

DCF Vice President Courtney Smith would not speculate on whether she will be the new president.

“The process will go through the executive board, and that will be done in the next few days,” she said. “Brenda devoted many years to the employees and students of DCSD. That level of dedication will remain and the DCF will continue to work to benefit students, classrooms and our members.”

Courtney Smith said the union continues its work, despite the outcome of the Nov. 5 election that saw the election of four reform-minded board members. The seven-member board is unlikely to renew any relationship with the union.

“We have not gone away because of the election,” Courtney Smith said. “In fact, because of the election, membership and access to legal representation for employees is more important now than ever before.

I think we’re busier than ever answering questions and representing employees.”

About 60 percent of DCSD’s teachers belong to the union, according to Courtney Smith.

School board president Kevin Larsen had little comment about the change.

“It’s like we’ve had a divorce,” he said.

“We’ve moved on. We don’t want to focus on our ex — in this case the union entity.

It doesn’t help us get where we need to go.

“I wish Brenda well in whatever she wants to do.”

Parade in Parker honors horse history Carriage event to cause street closures Dec. 14

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com With all of the pandemonium of holiday shopping sales and frustration of hourlong waits in the checkout line, sometimes it’s nice to get back to basics.

Grumblings about the commercialization of the Christmas season are ever-present, and for good reason. So, when a spectacle comes along that involves beloved traditions, families cozied up in hats and gloves, and a downtown decked out in decorations, people pay attention.

This year’s Parker Christmas Carriage Parade, starting at noon Dec. 14, promises the aforementioned and then some. The annual parade down Mainstreet and around the Victorian Drive loop pays homage to Parker’s rich equestrian culture. Every entry involves horses, and the carriages they tow are both elegant and historic. The carriages, many decorated to mark the season, transport dignitaries and equestrian group members from Douglas and Elbert counties along the route.

Mayor Mike Waid, who once served as chairman of the

parade when it was organized by the Parker Chamber of Commerce, has been both an observer and participant in the annual parade. His family looks forward to the event, and Waid is always encouraging newcomers to attend.

“They can expect the most enjoyable, Norman Rockwell-style experience they’re going to find,” he said. “It’s one of the quintessential small-town Parker things we do.”

The 2013 version promises to be the largest parade yet, with a record number of entries and a massive audience lining the streets. Ice sculptors will carve out their creations and pictures with Santa are available for $5 from 1 to 3 p.m. at O’Brien Park. Also at the park is the “Home for the Holidays Winter Market,” which will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and a petting zoo that runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The events provide a “combination of modern lifestyle and equestrian heritage,” Waid said.

A light snow fell on the parade a few years ago, making for an enchanting atmosphere. And while the theme of this year’s parade is “Winter Wonderland,” there are no hopes for inclement weather. The horses can handle it, but the biggest worry is cold temperatures driving away the crowds or making for a miserable outdoor experience.

“From a picturesque standpoint, a little bit of snow would be cool,” Waid said.

The parade will include a few stars. The town will honor Steve Budnack, chairman of the Parker Task Force for Hu-

man Services, as the 2013 Parade Grand Marshal in recognition of his tireless commitment to the task force and its mission. And finishing out the parade, as always, will be Santa Claus.

“I’m happy to take a backseat to the big guy in red,” Waid said jokingly.

Mainstreet and Victorian Drive will be closed from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and those parked within those areas will not be able to exit until the roads are reopened. Alternative parking outside of these limits is advised. Visit www.parkeronline.org/carriageparade for more information.

Colorado’s Energy Resources Advanced at Colorado - Texas Energy Day in Houston Colorado has a rich and varied history in the extraction of natural resources. Fossil fuels are a natural resource which have recently seen a huge increase in development throughout the state due to advances in technology and increased global demand. At the forefront of this new mineral wealth is the production of shale oil available through new horizontal drilling and fracturing technologies.

In November, the Houston chapter of the American Petroleum Institute (API) paid homage to Colorado as a key state for future oil & gas production and the South Metro Denver Chamber played a major role in the proceedings. Colorado - Texas Energy Day at the Petroleum Club of Houston included oil & gas vendor exhibits, an oil & gas executive roundtable, and the API luncheon moderated by Chamber President and CEO John Brackney with over 300 oil & gas executives present, including a contingent of South Metro Denver Chamber leaders.

Sponsored by CAP Logistics, the Chamber delegation included Jacob Lorenz (Risk and Chance), Jim McGrath (Studley), Tom Wood (Willbros Construction), Torie Brazitis (City of Lone Tree), Howard Dieter (Rettew Associates), Dan Killeen (RK Mechanical), Andrew Casper (Colorado Oil and Gas Association), Jason Hallmark (Hallmark Photos), Patty Rodvold (WhippleWood CPAs), Gayle Dendinger (CAP Logistics), Emily Haggstrom (CAP Logistics), John Boner (CAP Logistics), Detlev Simonis (CAP Logistics), and Nancy Vorderstrass (CAP Logistics), Jeff Holwell (COO, South Metro Denver Chamber), John Brackney (President and CEO, South Metro Denver Chamber) and Colleen Schwake (South Metro Denver Chamber).

Keynote speakers for the luncheon were Bob Fryklund, Chief Upstream Strategist for IHS and Jerry Eumont, Managing Director-Consulting, Energy & Natural Resources for IHS. Fryklund spoke on Colorado’s Energy, an Unconventional Renaissance, and Eumont spoke on the continued leadership of Texas in the industry.

Throughout the day, the Colorado delegation met with several local oil & gas executives allowing them to focus on the state’s future in energy production.

“This event was a great opportunity for the Chamber to showcase Colorado and a major South Metro Denver employer to the oil & gas

We were honored to be leading this effort in promoting our state to such an influential audience,” said Chamber COO and Director of Economic Development, Jeff Holwell. “Our CEO John Brackney and board member Gayle Dendinger of CAP Logistics were able to advocate on behalf of Colorado as a place to do business. Despite the politics of oil & gas fracturing, we are a strong energy state and we are open for business.”

“Colorado has the opportunity to become a major player in the oil shale revolution and it will become an important economic driver for the state. The Chamber is honored to continue our collaboration with the energy industry. We will persist in our recruitment and advocacy and build Colorado’s energy portfolio including fossil fuels and renewable energy.”

MSU Denver Establishes Dual Enrollment Nursing Partnership with Community Colleges In an effort to establish new cost-effective education alternatives for Colorado nursing students, Metropolitan State University of Denver has partnered with Arapahoe Community College (ACC) and Front Range Community College (FRCC) to offer a dual-enrollment option that enables students to graduate in four years with a bachelor of science degree in nursing (BSN).

“Employers are showing a hiring preference for graduates who have a BSN degree,” says Linda Stroup, associate chair of the MSU Denver Department of Nursing. “This initiative provides students with one of the most efficient and cost-effective pathways in the metro area for securing a bachelor’s degree in nursing.”

In 2010, the Institute of Medicine issued a report recommending that the proportion of nurses with baccalaureate degrees increase from 50 to 80 percent by 2020. Based on projected nursing retirements and current graduation rates from Colorado universities, there is work to be done to address that goal, Stroup says.

The RN-BSN dual-enrollment initiative will allow students to complete certain BSN elective credits at MSU Denver while finishing the required prerequisite courses from the nursing programs at their designated home school―ACC or FRCC. Once students complete their associate degrees in nursing and have accumulated 79 combined prerequisite credits, they will transition to MSU Denver to complete their BSN coursework.

“We are excited about the partnership with MSU Denver and the pathway we are creating for ACC nursing students to achieve a BSN degree,” says Geri Rush, ACC director of nursing. “South metro area hospitals such as Sky Ridge Medical Center and Littleton Adventist Hospital have expressed great enthusiasm for the program and potential for clinical placements in these hospitals.”

One unique advantage of the dual-enrollment program is the ability for students to secure financial aid toward classes taken at both the community college and MSU Denver. The home school will disburse financial aid for both institutions simultaneously. Previously under other similar arrangements, federal financial aid rules dictated aid could be applied only to a student’s home school coursework.

Calendar of Events

“This creates a seamless transfer for our students, especially those on financial aid,” said Sandy Veltri, FRCC associate vice president for student and academic services. “Together with our current associateto-bachelor’s degree partnership with MSU Denver, this new initiative creates even more opportunities for students.”

“There is a national focus to help students better ensure academic credit transfers and we want to give students as many options as possible to obtain their degree in an efficient and cost-effective manner,” says Eric Dunker, MSU Denver Extended Campus director. “We have more than 100 courses to meet BSN general studies requirements, with classes available at multiple campuses, online or hybrid alternatives to meet each student’s needs.”

MSU Denver will provide students with academic advisors to help them choose electives that will allow for degree completion in four years.

Current students can access the program immediately, and the official rollout for new students will begin in Spring 2014. In addition to taking classes at MSU Denver’s primary downtown Denver campus, the University offers students satellite campus locations in Greenwood Village and Northglenn. For more information about the program visit http://www. msudenver.edu/nursing/programinformation/dualenrollment/ This program complements MSU Denver’s existing baccalaureatelevel nursing program in the Department of Health Professions, which also houses academic programs in gerontology, heath care management, human nutrition and dietetics, integrative therapies and recreation professions. MSU Denver’s baccalaureate nursing program has received full reaccreditation from the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN), formerly the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). At its July 2013 meeting, the Board of Commissioners granted continuing accreditation to the program for eight years, the maximum time allowed.

The first post-baccalaureate students graduated from MSU Denver’s medical laboratory science program in June 2013. The program was previously operated by the Colorado Health Foundation and is now managed by MSU Denver’s Extended Campus.

Help during the holidays, and beyond Almost 13 percent of Coloradans live below the poverty level, according to the most recent figures from the U.S. Census Bureau. That’s better than the national rate of more than 14 percent, but it’s still much too high.

This time of year, the thought of families not being able to put food on the table — much less purchase holiday gifts — can be particularly disturbing. Maybe it should be equally as unsettling year round, but during a season of joy, and often excess, for so many, the plight of the poor stands out as a cruel contrast.

Fortunately, there are avenues to help.

For example, Dec. 10 was Colorado Gives Day, the annual push to raise money for nonprofits, many of which help the poor.

More than $15.4 million was raised in

our view 2012, and we hope an even bigger haul was brought in this year.

One of the many nonprofits helped by the effort was the Douglas/Elbert Task Force. The Castle Rock-based organization exists to provide basic necessities, like food and rent assistance, to residents of Douglas and Elbert counties in need. We applaud them for their year-round work.

Recently, we were given rare insight into the plight of some of those who sought help from the task force. Colorado Community Media reporter Virginia

question of the week

What do you like best about the holidays?

With Christmas just around the corner, we asked a few folks at Lone Tree’s Park Meadows shopping center what they like best about this time of year.

“Food. Anything German, green bean casserole and Christmas cookies.

The food is like a present to me.”

— Demi Rivera, Lone Tree

“Baking cookies, putting up Christmas lights, all the traditional activities.”

— Alexis Shelton, Aurora

“It’s between the gifts and my family.”

— Greg Cherabie, Centennial

“The decorations and the lights.”

— Angelo Montanari, Denver

Get a haircut to get ahead Would you rather be alone, or not be alone but with one condition: You have to spend your time in bad company?

Many of us would rather have companionship in a red-flag relationship, than have no relationship at all.

I am not one of them. I currently have a five-year lease with Jennifer, but I spend most of my time in splendid isolation.

(Jennifer lives somewhere else, with two of her three children, which is good for me. One of them needs to be driven to soccer, somewhere, on the hour. The other one would eat drywall if it had sauce on it. The kid will eat anything, and he is as skinny as a fishing rod.)

Newspapers, magazines and television programs are filled with advice about hooking up with someone. I don’t think any of it really works. It’s all luck.

Dating is as easy as pie. Anyone — anyone — can find someone to go out with once. The trick is to find someone you want to go out with twice, or who wants to go out with you twice.

My best advice is simple. Get a haircut.

Just about everyone needs a haircut. For one thing, this isn’t the Summer of Love.

Please tell me what you think about this project of mine. There’s a very friendly woman who works in my grocery store. She stacks her hair like an undecided bird’s nest. The first time I saw her, I thought she had overslept, and just piled it up for the day. She piles it up every day.

She needs someone to hairnap her, put her in the back of a car and take her to the nearest barbershop. This is what I am asking: Should I keep my mouth shut, or say something?

Grantier spent some time with the task force’s client service manager, Jenny Follmer. Grantier’s article, which appears this week in several Colorado Community Media publications as well as online, illustrates the very real stories of the less fortunate in a way statistics simply can’t.

The two went over the files of 20 individuals and families who sought assistance on one day, and the article summarizes the needs of each applicant. It is as personal as it gets without names and faces. Even in the suburbs, this could be your neighbor, a friend in need.

A small sampling: • “A Douglas County woman on disability, renter. Her ex-husband came back to Colorado with their three kids and then he left, and left the kids with her. She has

Broken records have a benefit Now I am not referring to breaking records like the most touchdowns thrown in a season, home runs hit in a career, or breaking the 3.43-minute mile. Nor am I referring to breaking other records recognized by Guinness World Records.

The only record or recording that you may actually want to break is if I were to personally record a song, as I couldn’t carry a tune if it were strapped to my back.

There would be true benefit to breaking that record for sure.

You know the expression, “you sound like a broken record,” right? Well I am here to share with you that there are real benefits to sounding like a broken record. But then again there is the danger of being that broken record so often it begins to sound like a scratched record, nagging, and maybe even like nails on a chalkboard. We have to find the balance.

For now, let’s focus on the benefits, sound fair?

In many of my columns I focus on some consistent themes, words, or concepts and most if not all are characterized by a foundation of positive and encouraging intent.

Some may say, and actually have accused me of sounding like a broken record when it comes to my constant promotion of showing gratitude, developing self-confidence, living with hope, the importance of staying positive, being optimistic, setting goals, and focusing on building winning relationships. Can I say thank you Zig Ziglar one more time?

What we need to remember is that common sense is not always common practice, and that repetition holds its place as the “mother of learning,” the “father of success,” and even “the mother of skill.” So you see, there are many benefits to being a

9137 S. Ridgeline Blvd., Suite 210, Highlands Ranch, CO 80129 If I were to say something, I would try my best not to say, “What is wrong with your hair? Did your cat get into it?”

I might say, “An attractive woman like you could use a more subtle hairstyle.

Maybe one that didn’t look like you comb it with a blender.” No, that’s no good either. I’ll work on it.

I have made arrangements to pay someone to cut her hair. I wonder if Bird’s Nest would be offended, or if she would be pleased that someone noticed and cared.

Jennifer and I like to go to the airport and watch people, and keep track of haircuts - who needs one and who doesn’t. We have done this a number of times, and we have determined that 37 percent of the population at DIA needs a haircut.

We are not the Rightful Arbiters. No one appointed us. But if someone is constantly swiping their hair, to get it out of their eyes, it’s an easy call: Get a haircut.

If you still look like one of Dexys Midnight Runners, get a haircut.

And every one of us is beautiful in the eyes of those who love us the most.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF DEC 11, 2013

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Your Arian penchant for impatience shows, as you consider passing a problem-prone project on to someone else. Best advice: Stay with it and work out those snarls yourself.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Even patient Bovines can be frustrated when carefully made plans go awry.

But crank up that “stick-to-it-ivity” you do so well, and you’ll soon find that your schedule is back in sync.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Your aspect favors using more resourceful means in dealing with a workplace situation. Some discreet checking around could help shed light on the root cause of the problem.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You show an unusually strong streak of stubbornness in rejecting suggestions from friends and/or family members early in the week. But you become more receptive by the week’s end.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) The Big Cat might find a gentler approach more effective when dealing with those who resist needed changes. Remember, the word “persuasion” starts with the sound “purr.”

Real-estate pros tout smart growth Group planning hard look at Littleton Boulevard

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Real-estate brokers across the nation are jumping on the smart-growth bandwagon, and the South Metro Denver Realtor Association is no exception.

“Growth is `smart’ when it gives us great communities with more choices and personal freedom, good return on public investment, greater opportunity across the community, a thriving natural environment, and a legacy we can be proud to leave our children and grandchildren,” reads the Smart Growth Network’s website, which counts the National Association of Realtors among its 40 or so partners. Others include health organizations, architect and planner associations, environmental groups and more.

On Dec. 5, SMDRA welcomed the NAR’s John Rosshirt to outline the concept, which advocates for things like pedestrian-

SMART GROWTH PRINCIPLES Mix land uses Take advantage of compact building design Create a range of housing opportunities and choices Create walkable neighborhoods Foster distinctive, attractive communities with a strong sense of place Preserve open space, farmland, natural beauty and critical environmental areas Strengthen and direct development toward existing communities Provide a variety of transportation choices Make development decisions predictable, fair and cost effective Encourage community and stakeholder collaboration in development decisions friendly neighborhoods, transportation choices, environmentally sound construction practices and fostering a strong “sense of place.”

“What you want is for people to get first off is that this is a really cool place,” said Rosshirt. “Everywhere has a place that is strong and can be built on. Whatever it is that’s your distinctive thing, get behind it.”

The class is one of the first concrete actions to come out of October’s Littleton Community Retreat, which SMDRA member Kay Watson was part of. She’s following up by planning a “charette,” defined as an intensive, collaborative session to find a solution to a problem that integrates the interests of a diverse community. This one would focus on a smart-growth perspective on Littleton Boulevard.

Stapleton Denver is an example of a neighborhood that incorporated smartgrowth principles into its design, and the metro area is full of others. In fact, the Smart Growth Network will showcase many of them during its 2014 New Partners for Smart Growth Conference, Feb. 13-15 at the Hyatt Regency downtown.

Rosshirt explained that the 20th-century trends of single-family homes on large lots and sprawling covered shopping malls are fading as people’s lifestyles change.

“Our American dream is not the same as it was in the ‘40s or ‘50s,” he said.

People are having fewer kids today, and many of those kids are choosing to remain single longer, according to a study funded in part by NAR. Many of them believe less

stuff to pay for and less living space to take care of equals more freedom, and about 75 percent of them would be willing to pay more for housing to commute less.

“The American dream is really about economic mobility,” said Rosshirt.

The average household size is just 2.6 today, and in 2008, one-quarter of all American households were single, according to the study. So it takes more living units just to maintain population, which results in the dreaded “D” word — density.

And that’s where smart-growth advocates often hit a brick wall in their communities.

“Often the most vocal people are in the smallest minority,” he said. “You all know NIMBY. NIMBY always comes to those meetings. … There’s nothing bad about density, the problem is bad planning and design.”

Proponents might find a surprising ally in seniors. According to the NAR study, the number of households headed by people 85 and older will double from 2005 to 2030.

“They’re the ones that are competing with the Millennials for the downtown condos,” said Rosshirt.

Mountain lion sightings reported Wildlife division sees no cause for alarm

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews. com The Parker Police Department is warning residents to be on the lookout for a mountain lion after multiple sightings were reported.

The agency took calls Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 from Parker residents who spotted what is believed to be the same mountain lion. Sightings have been reported as far west as Hilltop Road and Pine Drive and as far east as Canterberry Trail and Wanderlust Drive, near the entrance to the Canterberry Crossing neighborhood.

Police officers are increasing patrols in the areas where the big cat has been seen. Colorado Parks and Wildlife is aware of its presence and police are asking witnesses to call in

its location so officers can track it.

Jennifer Churchill, spokeswoman for the wildlife division, said there is no cause for alarm and referred to it as a “keep-your-eyes-open situation.”

“It’s not unheard of for lions to end up in that area. We do have sightings from time to time,” she said.

Because of the proximity of the sightings, it is likely the same mountain lion, Churchill said, but added that it also could be a dispersing family group. There are no plans to trap or euthanize the animal.

Although mountain lions are widely considered to be a big threat to humans, a recent study in Boulder revealed that they “do everything they can to avoid humans,” Churchill said. They are generally active from dusk until dawn.

The mountain lion seen in Parker could be trying to find new territory or passing through. It is more likely to be attracted by the abun-

dance of deer rather than house pets. Coyotes and foxes are more of a danger to family pets in backyards than mountain lions, Churchill said, but owners are advised to not leave their pets unattended.

Mountain lions were particularly active in the Parker area in 2006.

There were three sightings in the Timbers area of the Pinery in April of that year.

Although most residents in Colorado will never see one, the parks and wildlife division provides tips on avoiding a confrontation with a mountain lion. Officials are recommending that people walk in groups and keep a close eye on children.

Those who come across a mountain lion are asked not to approach it and to back away slowly without making sudden movements.

“If the lion behaves aggressively, throw stones, branches or whatever you can get your hands on without crouching down or turning your back,” says one of the tips released by the department.

crime reports Not so neighborly thief

A Highlands Ranch man who lives on the 10100 block of Astorbrook Lane arrived home at 7 p.m. Nov. 21 where he found an 8-inch by 10-inch bubble-wrapped package on his doorstep that, according to UPS online tracking, arrived at 1 p.m.

When he picked it up, he noticed the package had been cut with a knife and the contents of the delivery — four TSA luggage locks he had paid $60 for — were missing. The receipt for the order was still in the package but that was it. There are no suspects.

`Sweepstakes’ costs victims

A Castle Rock couple conned into thinking that they had won $2.5 million from an American Sweepstakes phone scam loaded up a green dot card with $1,000 to cover expenses and fees with the promise that their money would follow once they did. They gave the scammer the number on the card and he drained the card before asking them to send another $2,999.

After the second financial request, the victims contacted the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. Green dot scams are growing in popularity and people are urged not to give any money to someone they do not know. Sweepstakes winners do not have to pay money to receive their winnings.

Kegs stolen from pizza joint

Thirty-five empty kegs that were all chained together behind Parry’s Pizza on South University Boulevard in Highlands Ranch were stolen overnight on Nov. 23. The kegs were valued at $30 apiece for an overall value of $1,050. There are no leads in the incident.

Littleton resident sets up journey for 2014

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Aix-en-Provence, Arles, Luberon, Marseille, Orange, Palermo, Agrigento, Siracusa, Taormina and more … Travelers interested in art and architectural history will find “food for the soul” on a daily basis as they embark on a tour offered May 17 to June 4 by veteran traveler Christine Khorsand of Littleton.

Khorsand taught at Arapahoe Community College from 1991 to 2011 (French, Spanish, art history). And starting in 1993, she arranged summer art-related, faculty-led study trips to France and Italy for students and others. Tour members could paint, take photographs, study art history and French in various combinations, in various years — at various locations.

When she retired, she started her own company: Christine’s Travels.

ACC art professor Susan Goggins, who was on many of those trips, will be the art history lecturer in 2013.

Many previous trips began, as this one does, with time in Aix-en-Provence, where Khorsand grew up — a city related to the others she plans to visit by reflecting thousands of years of accumulated layers of culture.

One finds Roman and Greek ruins (an ancient theater is retrofitted to host jazz concerts), Medieval and Renaissance, Classical and Baroque and the landscapes that attracted the famous painters: Van Gogh, Cezanne, Picasso and more…

Field trips by bus will visit surrounding points of interest,

while travelers will stay in Aix for eight nights. Next, a flight from Marseille will carry travelers to Palermo in Sicily for touring from May 25 to June 4, with stays at several different towns — and travel again by private bus.

Sicily also has been home to dozens of civilizations, which have left a mark. Khorsand said she had not been there previously and she just returned from an extended visit, where she determined a route, visited ancient cultural sites, towns and prospective hotels and arranged for bus transportation — and built her level of excitement about its wonders.

The estimated cost is $3,300, based on double occupancy, assuming the price of the euro doesn’t change dramatically.

A deposit of $1,000 will be due by Jan. 15, 2014, so she can reserve hotels and transportation.

That amount does not include round trip airfare from Denver to Marseille (probably about $1,000), but Khorsand will be happy to assist with the numerous choices. She thinks some people might want to spend some time in Paris before or after this excursion, for example, and she can help with arrangements.

The limit would be 20 travelers, she says, and a minimum of 12 is needed for it to work financially. It might be possible to do one segment or the other as long as the minimum is covered.

For more information, contact Khorsand at 720-261-8452, ckhorsand@msn.com

Handmade gifts add spice to holidays Unique items are offered by artists, craftsmen

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Now that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are over, shoppers might consider some close-to-home locations that sell items created by local artists and craftsmen. No two pieces of art are exactly alike, but all are created with great pride and skill.

And these colorful, inviting places are relaxed, casual and fun to visit. We cite a few ongoing, year-round shops and galleries, rather than short-term artisan markets (which we also recommend.)

In Littleton: • Depot Art Gallery, 2069 W. Powers Ave., is housed in a historic 1881 Santa Fe Railroad depot that served Littleton when early rail lines came to town. During the U.S. bicen-

In the Depot Art Gallery’s baggage room, an array of handmade gifts are available.

Photo courtesy of Dustin Ellingboe tennial celebration, the depot was turned into an art gallery through a major effort by the Littleton Fine Arts Guild, with community support. It is owned and maintained by the City of Littleton and operated by members of the Littleton Fine Art Guild, who volunteer.

For the holidays each year, it schedules “The Holiday Express,” a show/sale of crafts and small fine arts by members and invited artists. Here

one will find whimsical rotund ceramic critters, glass art, tree decorations, note cards, angels, animal wall plaques for a child’s room, scarves, jewelry, photographs (I especially liked an egret) and inexpensive matted paintings and prints. Open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays. 303-7950781.

• The Pottery Gallery Studio, 5739 S. Curtice St., is operated by potter Kim Louise Glidden

in a former Buick dealership garage in historic downtown Littleton. She represents more than 50 artists, including potters, sculptors, metal workers, jewelry makers and painters.

303-738-2275.

• Willow — an Artisans Market, 2400 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton, is operated by Helen Rice. It represents more than 200 artists — most from Colorado — who create jewelry, pottery, garden art, greeting cards, clothing, accessories, glassware, paintings and prints.

303-730-8521.

In Castle Rock: • Art on the Edge, 314 Wilcox St., is run by the Greater Castle Rock Art Guild, open Tuesdays through Sundays, which has a range of paintings, artwork called “Small Packages” (not larger than 12”x12”) and other gift items made by members.

Also on exhibit: “Everything Watercolor” with works by Paul Valdez and Marcia Ames. 303814-3300.

We will be interested in learning from readers about more locations in our south suburbs that feature original, locally created arts and crafts such as these.

Radio talk show conservative Mike Rosen, who turned 69 Dec. 5, is taking his show to a slightly different time slot beginning Jan. 2.

“KOA (850 AM) is about the only station in the country that delays Rush (Limbaugh) two hours,” Rosen told me on his birthday. “The parent company of Clear Channel decided to (air) Rush live from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. `The Colorado Morning News’ show with Stefan (Tubbs) and April (Zesbaugh) will move to 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. and become five hours instead of four.”

Changing the `Rush Limbaugh Show’ to live time left Rosen with the 1 to 3 p.m. time slot after working a 9 a.m. to noon spot.

“I understand and it’s fine with me,” Rosen told me. “I’m on the air one less hour, which makes me on the air five hours less a week. But with show prep (answering emails, contacting advertisers, etc.), I still work 70 hours a week. So many people listen to my show online, so for them nothing will change.”

Rosen said his contract with Clear Channel lasts another 1½ years, then he’ll see what happens. “I take it one contract at a time,” he said.

Manning minds manners

Perhaps the sure way to secure an autograph from Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is to invite him to your wedding. Sounds more tidy than playing the post-game waiting game or bidding beaucoup bucks on a signed jersey during a charity auction.

In the case of Anna and James, a couple with a wedding last fall, all they had to do was send No. 18 a formal invitation, according to a post on Reddit. A photo of the signed invite went viral after a Redditor “Lackadaisical Romp” posted the pic of the wedding invitation sent by his sister.

Not only did Manning show his Southern gentlemanly manners by responding in a timely manner, but he checked off the “regretfully decline” box and added the inscription, “Anna and James, Best Wishes.”

A Yahoo.com poster quipped, “Perhaps our favorite comment about the photo comes courtesy of Redditor `MasterSplinter21’ who writes, `Eli (Manning) replied too, but his response was intercepted.’

Even with two Super Bowl rings and the Giants’ current winning streak, poor Eli still gets treated like the little brother.”

Christkindl returns

Denver’s 13th annual Christkindl Market at Skyline Park on the 16th Street Mall and Arapahoe (across from the D&F Tower and ice skating rink) brings a German flair to Christmas shopping and entertainment through Dec. 21.

This year’s market — Colorado’s largest and most authentic Christkindl venue — will be bigger and better than ever by adding more music, more beer and Gluehwein (mulled red wine), entertainment and more holiday spirit.

Hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Fridays and Saturdays.

Dwyer behind Lone Tree show Many area theater fans will remember Paul Dwyer from the late, lamented Country Dinner Play House, where he acted, directed and produced more than 100 productions over many years, according to a reprint of a 2008 Denver Post story. He is now working with Starkey Theatrix and will direct a return performance to Lone Tree Arts Center of “Home for the Holidays,” which he worked with last season as well. It will have new material and cast members, yet retain its warm family-oriented flavor as more than 50 performers sing, dance and entertain.

The production runs Dec. 12-22, with evening and matinee performances. Lone Tree Arts Center is located at 10075 Commons Street, Lone Tree. See LoneTreeArtsCenter.org for times and ticket prices, or call the box office, 720-509-1000.

people. This family of five leaves with 146 pounds of food, lots of canned goods from the food bank. Food stamps often are used to buy fresh produce.

Like all the other families that day, they’re offered a turkey. All but one family takes one. “They’re desperate for protein,” Follmer said.

Second family: A Highlands Ranch family, renters, two adults and two kids.

Never been here before. Wife lost job and has filed for unemployment. Husband has a new job but doesn’t get paid until the end of December.

They have two disconnect notices and need help with their December rent, utilities and need food.

Third family: A Douglas County woman on disability, renter. Her ex-husband came back to Colorado with their three kids and then he left, and left the kids with her.

She has $85 left for bills after she pays the rent. But today, she just needs food.

Fourth family: A Castle Rock woman, who works as a server, and boyfriend, who works, and three children. They make a total of $1,700 a month. They need food and Christmas assistance.

The task force has a family adoption program for the holidays, and has such things as toys for gifts and gift cards so the family can have a special meal. But Follmer said their Christmas assistance is limited.

They can’t offer it to everyone.

Fifth family: An out-of-state couple — who left everything including their jobs to come to Colorado after their daughter was in a serious accident — is now living in a hotel.

They have temporary jobs, but can’t make enough to save enough for first month’s rent and deposit. Today, they need food.

Sixth family: A Castle Rock family, grandmother in her 70s, grown daughter and three granddaughters. The daughter works, but the rent is more than half her income.

They come in today for clothing, food

Staff members at the Douglas/Elbert Task Force, 1638 Park St., Castle Rock, have a daily limit. They help the first 20 families who sign up. But this time of year, staff is being swamped, and on a recent evening were trying to help more.

Courtesy photo and Christmas assistance.

Seventh family: A Castle Rock mothers in 50s with two teens. Because of serious health problems, she lost her job. The older teen had a job, but lost it. There’s no income at all right now.

Today they need food and Follmer tries to find resources for rent assistance.

Eighth family: A Castle Rock mother, a renter, with three kids, living on disability and food stamps, had been awarded significant child support, but hadn’t been receiving it.

She needs help with food, utilities and Christmas assistance.

Ninth family: An Elbert County family, renters, three kids and husband and wife.

Husband is facing several surgeries to correct past surgery. He’s in extreme pain, but works off some rent for landlord. Wife is working.

They need help with food and Christmas assistance.

Tenth family: A Castle Rock family, renters. Wife, husband and one teenager.

Husband is working. She broke a bone and currently can’t work.

They come in for food. “All of these people are just scraping by,” Follmer said.

Eleventh family: A Castle Rock family, long-term task force clients. Four adults,

five kids, extended family. Two of the adults are working, and one has seasonal work.

They come in for food and Christmas assistance.

Twelfth family: A Parker grandmother, raising her grandchild after daughter passed away. She’s living on Social Security and disability. She comes in for food and has a disconnect notice, so she needs help with utilities, and gets Christmas assistance.

Thirteenth family: A Castle Rock homeowner, never been in before. Recently divorced and lost job when company closed down. Husband hadn’t been paying bills he said he’d pay. At this point, she just needs utilities assistance.

She filed for unemployment in October but still hasn’t received any money. She’s been interviewing for jobs and was particularly excited about a recent interview.

Fourteenth family: A Castle Rock couple and one child, renters, come in for food and Christmas assistance.

“When more than half of their incomes goes toward rent … the money is eaten up pretty quickly,” Follmer said.

Fifteenth family: A Castle Rock woman on disability, a renter. She’d like to work an hour or two a day, but Follmer shakes her head about that possibility.

The woman is on oxygen 24 hours a day.

She comes in for food.

Sixteenth family: A Castle Rock man in early 20s, homeless. He couch-surfs; sometimes he’s out in the elements by Plum Creek or other places. Douglas County doesn’t have transitional housing or a shelter. He comes in every few months.

This time he comes for food and clothing. He’s doing temp work and trying to get stable housing. But the task force gives a one-time $250 to help with first month’s rent and deposit. Follmer doesn’t want him to waste that if he’s not at the point where he can financially keep a place.

Seventeenth family: A Castle Rock couple and one teenager, renters, both work. But rent is more than half of their income.

They make too much for food stamps.

They come in for food.

Eighteenth family: A Castle Rock couple and baby, renters. He works. She’s home with the baby. They come in every couple of months.

Today they need food and some Christmas assistance.

Nineteenth family: A Castle Rock man, 50s, just released from jail, the Douglas County Justice Center. Follmer said the jail releases people with nothing, no money, no transportation, so released inmates generally walk the couple miles to the task force to get help. This man got a ride from a local mental health agency.

From Follmer, he gets some food and a couple days lodging at a motel. From there, he’s trying to get his job back, and reaching out to friends. Whatever family he has is estranged.

Twentieth family: A Parker couple and one child live in a motor home on a relative’s property. They both work, but jobs are dependent on weather conditions.

They come in for food.

That was Nov. 26 at the task force.

But that’s every day at the task force, Follmer said.

And when she walks into her own home, she counts her blessings.

Grizzlies girls top two top-five teams Rock Canyon places 2nd in tournament

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com It’s not often a basketball team can score only two points in a quarter and still win the game.

But that was the case for the ThunderRidge girls Dec. 7 in a 49-40 win over Rock Canyon as the two schools played in the championship game of the ThunderRidge/ Rock Canyon season-opening basketball tournament.

ThunderRidge opened a 33-23 lead at intermission and made all six of its 3-point baskets in the first half, including a buzzer beater by Brittany Birdsey to end the opening half.

The Grizzlies managed just two points as the teams exchanged offense for defense in the third quarter. However, Rock Canyon scored just five points to just trim ThunderRidge’s lead to seven points.

A 7-0 run to begin the final quarter pushed ThunderRidge ahead by 14 points and wrapped up the title in the tournament that featured four teams ranked in the Top 10 of the Class 5A CHSAANow preseason rankings.

“We’ve been working very hard on the offensive piece, executing that and some of those kinds of things against different defenses, and I thought our kids in the first half did a good job,” said ThunderRidge coach Paula Krueger. “We shot really well from the 3-point line.”

Taylor Rusk had 11 points to lead the Grizzlies against the Jaguars. The 5-foot-10

sophomore scored 41 points in the three tournament games.

ThunderRidge, ranked eighth in the opening poll, cruised to a lopsided victory over Arvada West, 57-4, and whipped No. 3 Arapahoe 46-29 before beating No. 5 Rock Canyon in the title game.

“I have to give my kids tons and tons of credit because in three games the most points they have given up is 40,” added Krueger. “That’s fantastic. Rock Canyon is a very good basketball team that we beat.”

ThunderRidge had 37 steals in the three games led by sophomore Madison Ward, who was credited with 12 of the thefts.

Rock Canyon opened the tournament by setting a school scoring record in a 9226 conquest of Rangeview and followed with a 50-41 win over Ralston Valley, before losing to Continental League rival ThunderRidge in the title game.

Senior forward Lexy Thorderson scored 18 points against ThunderRidge, finishing with 55 points in the tournament.

“It was a learning game for us,” said Rock Canyon coach Becky Mudd. “We definitely played great defense in the third quarter. We weren’t as disciplined as we needed to be offensively to run things to get good looks. We were trying to do it all at once. We wanted to make up all the points all at once instead of chipping away at it and running our stuff.

“I thought that was the difference in the first quarter. They were disciplined and running their stuff and we weren’t. We made up for it by playing good defense in the second half. We just didn’t get the offense going. It’s great to play good teams and especially to play ThunderRidge. It’s a tournament and you want to win but we’re

Arapahoe finished fourth in the tournament. The Warriors whipped Doherty 66-28 in the first game but lost to Arapahoe and then turnovers and poor shooting were costly in a 42-28 setback to Ralston Valley in the third-place game.

No. 9 Cherry Creek took fifth, losing its first game 61-57 in overtime to Ralston Valley but responded with 52-32 triumph over Rangeview and a 68-18 romp over Arvada West. Molly Rohrer, a 6-foot-1 junior, led the Bruins with 65 points in the three

games.

“It was a good tournament,” said Bruins coach Chris Curneen. “They were a lot of good teams in it. It was good for us because we’re young. We have four freshmen on the varsity and it’s always good to get them a little experience without the pressure. They’ll get enough pressure once the regular season begins.”

In other action including South Metro top 10 teams, No. 2 Highlands Ranch went 3-1 in the Sweet 16 Invitational in La Jolla, Calif. after a 62-40 season-opening win over Palmer on Dec. 2.

Ponderosa wrestling program among best Mustangs owners of 10 state championships

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Corey McNellis was a two-time Colorado wrestling champion at Ponderosa.

His older brother Chris was the Mustangs’ first-ever state champ.

The McNellis brothers are part of Ponderosa’s wrestling program that has been one of the state’s best over the past two decades.

Ponderosa wrestlers have won 10 state championships, one less than Holly, Wray and Montrose for the most in Colorado hitory. The Mustangs hold the state record by winning eight consecutive state championships.

The Mustangs, who were the Class 5A runners-up last season, will be seeking their 20th consecutive Continental League title in the 2013-14 campaign and will be attempting to stretch a streak of 160 straight league dual meet victories.

“We lost dual meets but they have been outside of the league,” explained former wrestling coach Tim Ottmann, who is now the Mustangs’ athletic director. “We had some really good teams in the early ‘90s and won some state championships.

“Years and years ago we built a feeder system. We have a real good junior wrestling program and it feeds the high school program. You talk about teams that have to rebuild and we just reloaded with incoming talent. No team wants to be the one that loses a dual meet. It’s important to them. But we’ve also been fortunate to have enough kids because you have to fill 14 weight classes.”

The names of Ottmann, who coached seven years at Burges High School in El Paso, Texas, and Ponderosa are sprinkled throughout the Colorado High School Activities Association’s wrestling records.

Ottmann, the 2008 National High School Wrestling Coach of the Year, ranks second in best dual meet record at one

After the 2008 season, Ottmann handed over the reins of the Ponderosa program to Corey McNellis.

“It’s been really fun to build it over the years and hand it over to Corey,” said Ottmann. “It has been a dream come true. I’m really proud of it and want to see it continue.

“My son Jake wrestled for me and he graduated in 2008. The last match I ever coached was my son in the finals, which was really cool. But Jake and I had decided. He graduated and I turned it over. I coached for 25 years and that was enough.”

In McNellis’ first season as head coach, Ponderosa almost lost a league dual meet.

The Mustangs and Chaparral tied 33-33 but Ponderosa won on criteria by winning eight of the 14 matches.

McNellis and his wrestlers feel the Con-

From left to right are Kade Snider, Tanner Olson, Dylan Gabel, Kelton Good and Tory Williams. Missing was Zachery Moye. Photo by Jim Benton tinental winning streak provides a motivation.

“It motivates them the way that we present it,” said McNellis. “Every team is different. It gives them confidence that the coaches know what they are doing and the program is a well-run machine that they need to buy into and if they do, they are going to have success.

“We really set our goals higher to do well at the national and state level and then the league stuff kind of falls in place.”

Ponderosa has crowned 35 individual state champions and 10 wrestlers earned All-America honors.

“It’s the program and not just the team,” added McNellis. “If we can get them bought in, then that’s when you reload instead of rebuild.

“Success breeds success. When they

build confidence it helps them. We also build our schedule so we see top competition during the year. You have to build your schedule so it’s tough so you see the best.”

McNellis is one of several combinations of brothers who have wrestled for Ponderosa and won state titles.

Dylan Gabel, the defending 170-pound state champion, and Kade Snider are two Mustangs with brothers who captured state crowns and are on the current Ponderosa team.

“It’s really cool,” said Ottmann. “We’ve had multiple brothers come through, in some cases like the Snider family they have six or seven in the family and of course Kade is still with us. It’s been a real good long tradition of family. They have come through.”

Legend boys open with wins Titan seniors show leadership

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Elijah Cherrington is not yet in top basketball shape.

However, he’s pretty close.

Cherrington, an All-Pioneer League wide receiver who helped Legend’s football team advance into the first round of the Class 5A playoffs, scored a game-high 26 points to lead the home-standing Titans to a 60-50 non-league win over Abraham Lincoln Dec. 6.

“It takes a little bit of time, probably a couple weeks to get into basketball shape,” said Cherrington. “It’s happening slowly.

I’m taking it one step at a time. I’m maybe not at 100 percent yet.”

The 6-foot-4 senior looked sharp in the fourth quarter when he scored 11 points as the Titans, who were leading by just a point

entering the final stanza, pulled away from the Lancers.

It was the second win in two outings to start the season for No. 10 Legend, a team that was a Class 5A state semifinalist last season.

“The senior leaders want the ball at the end of every game, making free throws and that’s what I wanted to do,” said Cherrington. “I’m looking to score more this year. We’re finding ourselves and it was definitely a good win over Lincoln.”

Legend coach Kevin Boley agreed.

“We’ve got some young guys who are gaining experience and we’ve got to rely on some seniors who have been there,” explained Boley. “It was a great win, a win we didn’t get last year.”

Cherrington and 6-8 senior Zach Mihalicz accounted for 15 of the 18 points the Titans scored in the decisive fourth quarter as Legend avenged last season’s 49-44 setback to the Lancers.

“That’s what you look for in those seniors and guys that have played in the Final Four,” said Boley. “He (Cherrington) needs to step up in those moments.”

Cherrington caught 51 passes for 1,017 yards and had 1,651 all-purpose yards during the football season but had only four points for the basketball team in Legend’s 69-67 win over Smoky Hill Dec. 4.

He played much better against the Lancers with 26 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and one blocked shot. And, he was looking for the ball in the fourth quarter with the game on the line.

“We were fortunate because he had about a week and a half between the end of the football season and when we started,” said Boley. “We just told Elijah to stay away. He’s such a great athlete. I’m not sure great athletes need a whole lot of time to get going.”

Mihalicz had 17 points and eight rebounds for the Titans and sophomore

point guard Riley Matticks added 12 points.

In other action In other opening week games, Zach Braxton led No. 4 Highlands Ranch to a 5754 victory over Lakewood on Dec. 3. The senior hit a jumper and then cashed in on two free throws with less than a minute to play to seal the victory. He finished with 22 points, 15 rebounds, five assists and four blocked shots.

Rangeview, ranked No. 5 in the preseason rankings, defeated No. 9 Chaparral, 74-70 in overtime. Jerrod Doran’s 19 points was high for the Wolverines. Brady Subart’s 18 points led No. 8 Mountain Vista to a 9147 win over Rocky Mountain on Dec. 2.

Valor Christian, the top-ranked Class 4A team, whipped Ralston Valley, 63-43, Dec. 3 and knocked off Evergreen 72-38 on Dec. 7. Garrett Baggett scored 28 points against Ralston Valley and tossed in nine points in the romp over the Cougars.

Bikes Continued from Page 1

Folkenberg said. “It’s the perfect partnership in that their work both supports a more active lifestyle for the kids in our community while also providing refurbished bikes to those families that would otherwise struggle to provide bikes to their children.

“We wholeheartedly agree with Project Recycle that every child should have their own bicycle.”

Jeff Fleck, ReCycle’s vice chairman, said he tries to explain to people about what ReCycle does by telling them to close their eyes and try to remember how they felt when they got their first bike.

“When you give that to a child … that’s what you get to feel,” he said. And he talked further about the experience of that, the child’s new sense of freedom, the feeling of ownership, and pride and responsibility.

“We tend to make grown men cry,” said Cynthia Edwards, ReCycle’s board chairperson, and she smiled. She and Fleck rattle off some past crying sessions — like when they gave a bike to a 16-year-old boy who had never had a bike, or even ridden one.

Or the time after Christmas when five brothers were told they could pick out bikes.

Their dad came on the scene and when he found out all five were going to get free bikes, the dad related he had wanted to buy all of his sons bikes for Christmas but hadn’t been able to afford it. That time it was the staff and a dad crying.

ReCycle also has what they call Dream Bike projects, where an entire elementary school is targeted and every child who doesn’t have a bike gets one — after participating in an incentive program involving such things as better school attendance, showing respect to adults and so on. At one Denver school, they gave away 230 bikes that one day.

Castle Rock

They have mechanics volunteering from small bike shops, and businesses like REI that donate their mechanics’ time, and other volunteers participating year-round as donations keep rolling in and bikes need repairing or cleaning. The organization has one paid employee, the shop manager, and about 500 unpaid volunteers, Edwards said.

People who come into the hospital’s front lobby don’t share it with new bike arrivals, and most of the rest of the hospital isn’t impacted. Project ReCycle’s volunteers bring bikes in through the back and into a freight elevator. But she said some hospital staff members on break tend to wander up to the fourth floor to help.

Project ReCycle, which has joined forces with another organization, Bikes for Tykes, has also given bikes to new immigrants, refuges, people newly released from prison and has even sent some to Africa.

In mid-December they’re giving out 300 bikes at an undisclosed location because of privacy and security reasons for kids who are involved in complicated situations, or with social agencies.

ReCycle is always looking for more bikes — and age and condition don’t matter. Bikes donated range from stores such as Walmart donating brand-new returned bikes that have a minor defect to really damaged bikes that can still be used for parts. They want it all.

“We improve youth pride, responsibility, freedom, respect, and appreciation, through the simple vehicle of a bicycle, while assisting in the battle against obesity and improving our environment,” according to ReCycle’s website. “We do this by not only `giving’ a bicycle, but by providing education on how to maintain it and how to use it safely. We seek to provide group rides/ events, classes on maintenance, safety and more.”

holiday concert time.

Both said that next year the band will transition to year round scheduling, with a series of outdoor summer concerts and expanded venues for Christmas concerts — hopefully in Fort Collins and maybe Boulder. (This year, they performed on Dec. 12 at Stargazers Theatre and Events Center in Colorado Springs.)

They think they are better than Mannheim Steamroller, with which they have been compared. “Our sound is different,” Dave says. With 14 members, they can produce a full sound or “take it down a notch,” depending on the song they’re performing.

The special sound could be related to inclusion of some unusual instruments: Tina Gugler, for example, is a U.S. National hammered dulcimer champion and Eric Olson is well known for his performances on Uillean pipes, a smaller Irish form of bagpipe where the bellows are pumped with the elbow. Dave Villano plays an Irish pennywhistle, electric violin, guitar, Uillean pipes and more. Ed Villano plays a stumpf fiddle.

Dave is proud that band member Dave Beegle, who was once Villano’s guitar teacher, was named “Best Independent Guitarist of the Year” by Guitar Player magazine. “Through Dave, I met other players,” he said.

The band’s music is described as “traditional, Celtic, and contemporary holiday music … running the full gamut of musical experience … from classical to folk, rock and everything in between.” That should please most family members.

Ban Continued from Page 1

message and he attributes the receipt of those to a message posted on the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners website.

That message stated in part, “Attention Castle Rock and Douglas County Gun Owners. You action is needed IMMEDIATELY. The Castle Rock City Council is attempting to expand their open carry ban at tomorrow night’s council meeting.

“Call them and tell them to vote NO on the proposed expansion of the radical open carry ban in Castle Rock.

Tell them the only acceptable legislation are laws that expand open carry rights.”

Readers were told that Mayor Paul Donahue and Councilmember Jennifer Green had already pledged to vote against the ban. Contact information was given for the other council members.

Changing course

Hammelman said he thinks the reason there were no pro-ban people at the Dec. 3 meeting — unlike the Sept. 17 meeting that had mostly ban supporters — was because they may have assumed the council was going to follow through with what was decided at the September meeting, when council directed staff to draft a ban ordinance with clearer wording and the addition of open space and trails.

Hammelman said his expectation for the Dec. 3 meeting was that the discussion would revolve around that issue of whether or not to add to the ban open space and trails. But things went a different direction.

It was Mayor Paul Donahue, a managing partner at Centennial Gun Club, who first brought up the idea of a repeal at a June council meeting, and at that meeting Hammelman commented it would make him feel “a little uncomfortable” if he knew audience members could be carrying guns.

“I would feel a little bit funny if they’re sitting there with their shot-

guns next to their chairs … and then when they come up to the witness stand they come up with their assault weapons. That would just bother me.

It might be intimidating,” he said, and laughed.

But Hammelman and the rest of council, except Councilmember Chip Wilson, who was absent, agreed to direct staff to research the possible repeal.

Then at the Sept. 17 council meeting, the repeal idea seemed ready to fizzle. The council was told the town’s public safety commission, which advises the town council on police and fire matters, advised against repealing the ban. About 95 percent of town employees surveyed said they didn’t want it repealed, and the vast majority of members of the public commenting on the issue were against the repeal.

Also, Hammelman and Councilmembers Wilson and Mark Heath expressed their opposition to repealing it. Councilmember Renee Valentine said she was struggling with the issue because she believes in “gun rights and liberties … but at the same time I don’t see the need to repeal it.”

So at the Sept. 17 meeting, the council voted to direct staff just to do light housekeeping on the current ban, changing wording to give the council full authority on imposing the ban instead of the town manager, and to bring back the new and improved ordinance to vote on.

At the Dec. 4 meeting, that proposed ordinance was introduced — and it was emphasized by Town Attorney Robert Slentz and others that the ban only included Castle Rock municipal buildings and properties, not sidewalks, streets, businesses or other areas of town.

Audience members speak

This time, members of the audience who gave comments, more than 20 people, mainly residents and business people, spoke against the ban.

Many spoke about constitutional rights and several talked about wanting protection in case of mountain lions, bears, coyotes and human predators. Another commented that being able to open carry gives him quicker access to the weapon. Carrying a

gun concealed under clothes, under a backpack, etc., makes it harder to access. Others talked about the difficulty of concealing a weapon when they’re wearing summer clothes.

Jeff Meek, a Castle Rock firearms instructor, told the council that criminals don’t open carry, that it “attracts attention they don’t want …”

“Castle Rock is not a `thugocracy.’

Bring liberty back … repeal the whole stinking thing,” he said.

Hammelman told the audience that this meeting seemed to be “antiban night,” while the Sept. 17 meeting seemed to be a “pro-ban night” with a majority asking to keep the ban.

He said he hoped the next hearing, which might be in January, had more of a balance so council could hear pro and con arguments.

Hammelman also said of the people who contacted him about the issue, of the eight people he was able to reach on Dec. 3, some of them had misunderstood, thinking the ban affected the whole city, not just townowned buildings.

Donahue said at one point that the council is very concerned about the safety of residents and town employees and that if there were any indication that repealing the ban would be put them at risk, “we’d be rethinking this.”

“I suspect if you look at the evidence, people that do open carry are more law-abiding than the average citizen,” Donahue told the audience before the vote. “I don’t have statistical evidence to back that up, don’t quote me on that.”

Donahue — who said at a past meeting that in 10 years of living in Castle Rock the only person he has seen open carrying is himself — said this is “one of the rights that is specifically listed in the Constitution and is something we do have to stand up for.”

Councilmember Jennifer Green said, “Yes, we’re talking about firearms, but this is above and beyond firearms, this is about upholding and defending the Constitution.

“We are all here freely able to speak because of the Constitution. It’s important to me to uphold it and defend it.”
