Combat vet thankful after resuscitation Man notes ‘miraculous’ return from heart attack By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com He made it through two tours in Iraq — albeit with some traumatic brain injury after IED explosions, and two broken legs from a rappelling accident — but he almost didn’t make it off his front lawn Aug. 6 in The Meadows neighborhood in Castle Rock. Greg Archer, 32, was on the grass, facedown, not breathing, with no pulse, after a sudden heart attack, and no one was around. Then the miracles, as he views it, began to happen. And recently, the very much alive Archer walked into Castle Rock Adventist Hospital to shake the hand of one of the miraclemakers, Aaron Goudy, a Castle Rock paramedic and firefighter. Goudy remembers details: It was a clear day when he and the rest of the emergency responders arrived to help. It was also clear that a lot needed to happen right away. Archer’s home security system would later show a video of what happened: His sudden collapse — and how he lay alone, face-down, for about five minutes until someone saw him.

He also sometimes has severe migraines, but he felt good, “normal,” on Aug. 6 when he left his sleeping son for a couple minutes to walk out onto the front yard to water a couple of patches. He said he lucked out collapsing where he did. “It was the only five minutes of the

day I was in public view.” He was also lucky that a new next-door neighbor happened to take a different and longer way home from work that day to avoid an Interstate 25 traffic jam and ended Vet continues on Page 10

Castle Rock issued a total of 534 singlefamily housing permits in 2012. But in just the first six months of 2013, that has been surpassed, by a lot: 630 permits have been issued. Nicole Carner, Castle Rock’s budget finance supervisor, who was presenting a mid-year financial report about 2013’s first six months to town council Sept. 3, said “issuance of single-family permits is up by about 92 percent over the same period in 2012.” The positive numbers kept coming as Carner also reported that overall town revenues are up 8 percent in the first six months of 2013. Sales tax revenue alone is up about 9.2 percent, compared with the same period in 2012. Total sales tax revenue for the first six months of 2012 was $13.9 million. For the first six months of 2013, the total was $15.2 million. “On an overall basis, all funds are performing positively,” Carner said. On the expenditure side, town departments continue to be fiscally responsible, she said. The general fund, which is budgeted for $38.1 million and funds much of the town’s operations, is approximately 10 percent under the year-to-date budget, she said. “It’s always nice to be able to present good news all the way around …,” Mayor Paul Donahue said after her presentation. Frank Gray, president and CEO of Castle Rock Economic Development Council, said in a Sept. 4 email that he is excited about the pace of growth the community is experiencing and all the business and development opportunities that are associated with a thriving community. “We have seen tremendous interest in the Castle Rock commercial, industrial and retail markets, and our biggest challenge is that we don’t have the commercial inventory to keep up with amount of demand,” he said. “It is a good problem to have, but a difficult issue to solve, given the challenging access to capital.” Gray explained that banks want to see buildings 80 percent pre-leased before they will fund projects. “That’s fairly close to impossible,” he said. Castle Rock Town Manager Mark Stevens said in a past interview that the council’s conservative approach to budgeting, not dipping into reserves even during the so-called “Great Recession,” — and continuing to build reserves, putting away the equivalent of 25 percent of annual operating expenses — has resulted in the town “being in stronger condition than when (the recession) began.”

Fifth-grader Ella Stasiak tugged at her pale blue Aspen View Academy blouse. “It’s just kinda scratchy,” she said. Her friend and neighbor, thirdgrader Carter Shelton, fiddled with the ends of his blue tie. “I think it’s better to wear uniforms,” he said. “It’s not that hard to get dressed every morning.” Stasiak and Shelton were among 650 uniformed students reporting for their first day of school at Aspen View Academy, Douglas County’s newest school; 200 more students are on a waiting list. That’s an irony for the school’s founder, Jonathan Nye, who was inspired to build Aspen View by years-long waiting lists he found at other Douglas County charter schools. On Sept. 3, his three children were among the hundreds who flowed through the doors for the first time. “I’m elated,” said Nye, a software salesman. “It was really a grassroots movement. We set up a table at the local King Soopers and started passing out fliers. First there were two of us, then 10 people, then 50.” The two-story K-6 charter, eventually designed to serve K-8 students, is in Castle Rock’s Meadows neighborhood. In a unique partnership, the Douglas County School District helped Aspen View secure financing for the school. In exchange, Aspen View accepted some of the children who otherwise would attend overflowing neighborhood schools in the highgrowth area. “This school saved two schools in the Meadows from going to fourtrack,” said Nye. Four-track is a form of yearround school. Instead, about 65 percent of Aspen View’s students hail from the Meadows, with another 25-30 percent from elsewhere in Castle Rock. “I don’t know that we’re dif-

‘I don’t know that we’re different. We just offer a choice for parents. But we’re still a district school.’ Jonathan Nye, Aspen View Academy founder ferent,” Nye said. “We just offer a choice for parents. But we’re still a district school. “We’re core knowledge with an emphasis on math, technology and language arts. We’re a big believer in culture and core values.” Students also will be taught Latin, and placed in groupings that allow them to learn according to their abilities. Another differentiator: The uniforms. On opening day, girls wore blue plaid skirts and pale blue blouses embroidered with the Aspen View Academy name and logo. Boys wore gray pants with pale blue

button-down Aspen View shirts; many also wore blue plaid ties that matched the girls’ skirts. It’s a new way of dressing not just for most of the students, but their parents as well. “The uniforms are a new thing,” said parent Karen McConnell, whose oldest son previously attended nearby Clear Sky Elementary. “It’s different. It sounds great, but I guess we’ll see how it goes.” She was unreservedly excited, however, about the new school. Clear Sky “was getting crowded with all the new housing,” McConnell said. “I like the ability-based grouping they offer here.”

Staff members shared a similar sense of anticipation. “I couldn’t sleep last night,” said teacher Traci Waters. Assistant principal Jeri Bisbee said Aspen View aims to be the best school in the area. “Everybody’s heart was in this project,” she said. “Folks have moved here from Indiana, Ohio, Illinois (to work). And we have the cream of the crop in terms of our staff. We’re very passionate and very excited.” Another charter — the second campus of American Academy, nearing completion in Parker — also opens this month on Sept. 23.

Staff, schools to get more money Te Douglas board cites healthier economy By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Citing an influx of property tax revenue, the Douglas County School Board is giving more money to its schools and staff. The board passed a resolution Sept. 3 that makes an additional $3 million available for staff salary increases and $1.5 million for students’ education. The raises will average 1 percent, and are “differentiated for performance,” which means amounts will vary based on a teacher’s evaluation rating and the market-based pay scale. The money is on top of an average 2 percent teacher raise and an additional 2 percent in one-time bonuses already announced by the district in May. At that time, DCSD also committed to additional funding of $200 per student. The newly approved monies will add another $20 to $25 per student to that amount. The added compensation means the

most highly rated teachers may get a pay bump of as much as 9.5 percent, with all but 1 percent of that money a permanent salary increase. DCSD also plans to boost pay for teachers whose salaries are below the marketbased pay scale. The decision to allocate additional funds is tied to an effort to make up for several years of salary freezes for teachers, and cuts to school budgets. “The good news is because of several factors,” DCSD board vice president Kevin Larsen said. “One is, the county’s growing again. Property values are slightly up. Delinquencies are down. Receipts are up, and up in a sustainable way.” While the district hails the additional money as good news, some call it bad budgeting. “I do think the timing of this board announcement was unfortunate,” said Julie Keim, a school board candidate and certified professional accountant who has studied DCSD’s budget. “Schools need to know their budgets before the beginning of the year to truly maximize opportunities for students.

“Also, it is interesting that the candidates for the school board election were just finalized the day that this was announced.” Four seats on the seven-member board are up for grabs in November. Judi Reynolds, Keim’s opponent, said the release of additional funds indicates a prudent approach to fiscal management. “I think the way the board and district have chosen to do things over the last few years is they do not want to commit money they do not know they have,” she said. “I am largely supportive of that. I agree it would be far better if we knew exactly what we had to spend on our kids and our teachers prior to the school year starting. (But) I don’t want to see us committing ourselves to spend money we don’t have.” The Douglas County School District made a similar announcement in September 2012, again citing higher-than-anticipated property tax revenue that allowed it to distribute an additional $125 per student to all its schools. Under the current board’s financial philosophy, Larsen said that may happen in future years as well. “We’re going to budget on the some-

Gro con ind

what conservative side; I’m not apologizing for that,” he said. “And when we close the books at the end of June, if there’s ever a surprise, it’ll be a pleasant one.” While the additional $20 to $25 per student is helpful, Larsen noted it isn’t enough to have made a significant difference inBy J jreut schools’ original fall budgets. DCSD critics also fault a fund balance they believe is unnecessarily high. Credit- Th rating agency Fitch listed the district’s un-endo restricted fund balance at $86.7 million inChas February 2013. Its unassigned fund bal-Scho ance, money not already tagged for other Th uses, is about $17 million, consistent withmon offici the board’s 4-percent reserve policy. The pay increases will begin showing upmine on teachers’ paychecks in October, and willed ac “W be retroactive to July 1. They will be weighed against each teach-they er’s placement on DCSD’s new evaluationlas C system, which categorizes an educator’sSmit teaching style on a range from “highly ef-recom fective” to “ineffective.” DCSD also con-be go siders where a teacher’s salary falls on theDoug market-based pay scale, which determines U salary based on the difficulty of findingof th teach teachers for specific positions.

Their choices — incumbents Doug Benevento and Meghann Silverthorn, plus Jim Geddes and Judi Reynolds — are the candidates “most likely to support the principles of the Republican Party,” according to local party chairman Craig Steiner. Steiner said the local party also will not contribute to its chosen candidates’ campaigns. He said he would not talk about the local party’s planned campaign expenditures. All four of the union-supported candidates said the news came as a surprise. “This campaign is about the direction of our schools and improving the quality of education for our students,” District E candidate Bill Hodges said in an emailed statement. “I welcome any organization’s support as my campaign has broad support from members of our community, business leaders and teachers.” “I did not seek the endorsement,” District

I don’t want any strings attached to the decisions I make.” “I was not aware, nor did I request the support statement by the Union as I am running unaffiliated,” District B candidate Barbra Chase wrote in an email. “As the teachers’ association represents the majority of teachers in Douglas County schools, I graciously appreciate that I am backed and supported by the teachers.”

A neighbor reported seeing a flatbed truck parked in the driveway behind the Durango at 2 a.m. The owner of the bikes and the Durango had been visiting the Parker home and said that the bikes were secured to the rack with a heavy-duty strap that appeared to have been cut with a sharp object. On Aug. 30, a Douglas County sheriff’s deputy was dispatched to the 10200 block of Park Meadows Drive in Lone Tree after

‘Grinch’ protesters were paid teens Costumed characters have attended prior meetings, events linked to schools By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Two mute, masked and costumed protesters on hand for the Sept. 3 screening of a documentary about the Douglas County School Board were revealed as teenage boys, paid for their time by an unknown person or source. The two were carrying signs reading, “Grinches for union control.” Protesters attired in the same costumes — Santa suits with Grinch masks — have stood several times outside the Douglas County School District administration building during controversial meetings, and appeared at a June 14 parent protest at Lone Tree’s Marriott hotel. Castle Rock filmmaker Brian Malone debuted a documentary critical of DCSD’s education reforms at the center Sept. 3. About 200 people attended the screening. Parker police, called because the teens reportedly were standing on private property at the Mainstreet Center, asked the two

to remove their masks. “The kids said some guy paid them to stand there,” Parker Police Sgt. Andy Coleman said, adding the teens were cooperative and quickly moved to public property. “They didn’t know for what reason, but he just paid them so they did. The kids didn’t know what the signs meant.” The kids aren’t the only ones baffled by the signs. Five Grinches first appeared outside the DCSD administration building for a March school board meeting, distributing messages to those who entered the building. “The nerve of those Whos … those parents … and the teachers who don’t want union dues stripped from their paycheck,” the note read. “They want more choices! We want to take away the choices. Choices bad. Union good. We know best. Signed: Grinches and the Douglas County Teachers Union.” DCSD officials said they had no knowledge of the Grinches’ identity or connections to them. The Douglas County Federation teachers’ union also said the Grinches are not tied to their organization. “We are in no way affiliated with anybody that would show up dressed in cos-

Documentary on school board debuts Movie casts critical light on district leaders, policy changes By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com About 200 people attended the Sept. 3 screening in Parker of a documentary critical of the Douglas County School Board’s education reform efforts. Brian Malone, a Castle Rock native and filmmaker, produced, wrote and directed “The Reformers,” a 75-minute exploration of the impact of education reform on both a national and local level.

The event was presented by Taxpayers for Public Education, a nonprofit that sued to stop the Douglas County School District’s voucher program. An eight-person panel discussion featuring community members, former DCSD employees and teachers’ union officials followed the screening. The documentary received a standing ovation from an audience largely critical of the current school board’s directions and policies. “It was a thrill, although I will say I’m not altogether surprised,” said Malone, adding the self-funded film cost about $20,000 to

make. “There’s been a lot of interest and a lot of anticipation on what the film has to say.” Malone, whose two children attend DCSD schools, maintains the board is carrying out an agenda largely unsupported by parents and teachers, and that its policy changes have been poorly implemented. The film includes local interviews with Taxpayers for Public Education board members, former DCSD Superintendent Rick O’Connell, Douglas County teachers’ union president Brenda Smith, former Thunder Ridge High School teacher Brian White and several unidentified Douglas County teachers whose faces are shadowed. Four recent Douglas County high school graduates also are featured, saying some of the district changes negatively affected them as they applied to colleges. In the film, four national experts question the research and potential for-profit motives behind school choice. The documentary has footage from Douglas County School Board meetings, but does not include interviews with any board members, administrators or board supporters. Malone said DCSD officials repeatedly turned down his requests for interviews. The only pro-school-choice supporter interviewed is Republican former state lawmaker Nancy Spence. DCSD spokeswoman Michelle Yi emailed a comment on behalf of the district. “The district did not participate in the making of this film, and district officials have not seen the film,” the email reads. “We are proud to empower parents with choice and offer a world-class education to all students, which includes opportunities for more collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity in our classrooms.” Malone was kicked out of an August 2012 school board meeting and charged

Despite that experience, Malone maintains he approached the project with an open mind. “It was only from the experience of shooting this film that helped me develop my opinion,” he said. “I stand behind the film. And I stand behind my point of view. “I’m tired of all the anger; we’ve got to move above that and beyond it. This is about getting this community to stand up (and) decide what they want for their public school system. But if this county doesn’t wake up, we’ve got a real problem.” Future screenings of the movie are planned and Malone also is distributing free copies.

s Despite candidate conflicts, forum is a go Organizer says invitation open until day of event By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com

The Douglas County School District Accountability Committee is moving forward with a planned Sept. 12 school-board candidate forum, even though the four candidates who oppose much of the current board’s policies have previously scheduled commitments for the evening. Incumbents Doug Benevento and Meghann Silverthorne, as well as Jim Geddes and Judi Reynolds — all supporters of the current board — already have confirmed they will attend. The four candidates who have committed to the 6:30 p.m. Douglas County High School event are the slate endorsed by the Douglas County Republicans. The four opposing candidates — Julie CountyKeim, Bill Hodges, Barbra Chase and Ronda Scholting — say the Sept. 2 notice came too late. Keim requested in an email to DAC chairman David DiCarlo that the DAC o bechange the date, “given the very short no.” tice of this invitation.” But after discussions among DAC members, DiCarlo said they opted to proceed as planned. “All the candidates were given the exact same notice,” said DiCarlo, an outspoken supporter of the current board and a district captain and central committee mem-

None of them gave a choice of dates.” DiCarlo said the Sept. 12 date was chosen based on availability of the venue and conflicts in October, including the fall school break and DAC obligations. DiCarlo wrote in a Sept. 5 email to Keim that the school auditorium had “limited dates for availability and I chose the one that worked best.” DCSD’s facility scheduling website shows the only September dates on which the Douglas County High School auditorium is not available are Sept. 12 — the date of the forum — and Sept. 27.

sterling ranch development’s governing structure approved 7 metro districts to run unincorporated community By Ryan Boldrey

After receiving approval for development from the Douglas County commissioners in July, Sterling Ranch took another step forward in late August as the commissioners unanimously approved a proposed governing structure. “The With plans to break ground by the end Photo of the year on a 12,050-home community — which will include 2.7 million square feet of commercial property, on 3,400 acres northaftereast of Roxborough State Park — the uninCSDcorporated development will be governed wereby the 11-member Sterling Ranch Commulonenity Authority Board. with The CAB, as it will be known, will be made up of five representatives from a e ofmanagement district and one property velopowner from each of the community’s six fid thenancing districts.

Village, “and value his service over the last couple of years.” Rosenkrans said this was the optimal time to switch to an in-house manager as the district launches a development process for a new renewable-water implementation program. Ken Smith, a district spokesman, said Worley, who stepped in after the departure of the district’s last full-time manager, Jim O’Grady, was with the district for more than two years, and skillfully got the district through some major projects. But Smith said Worley always understood the district wanted an in-house person and an engineer. Worley’s expertise is district management and he’s not an engi-

development, we believe that the CAB board, and the districts working together through the CAB board, need to have the flexibility to provide all improvements the community should need,” said Sterling Ranch attorney MaryAnn McGeady. “The districts would have, through the CAB board, the ability to phase construction to meet the needs of the development over time.” Once Sterling Ranch is established, there is a strong possibility that the districts will consolidate to one governing district, similar to how Highlands Ranch went from five metro districts originally to one, McGeady said. Unlike Highlands Ranch, there will not be a master homeowners association. “The districts will have the authority to coordinate covenant enforcement and provide common areas and maintenance,” McGeady said. “That is all anticipated to be paid out of property taxes, so there is not going to be an added fee for services.” South Metro Fire Rescue and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office will provide Sterling Ranch with emergency services, and a hospital is in the community’s master plan. Sterling Ranch spokesman Randy Pye said there are no plans to incorporate once the community reaches build-out. “Our residents will be provided services that are provided to all residents in unincorporated Douglas County through their property taxes,” he said. “The county can provide certain services, but services that go beyond what the county can provide is why we are organizing these districts,” McGeady added.

neer. Smith said when Nikkel, who essentially has been Parker’s chief engineer, became available, it seemed like the right fit, because of his engineering background and also because of his knowledge of RueterHess, which Castle Pines has storage rights in and may build a pipeline to it. Nikkel said that “tackling new challenges is imbedded in my DNA … The Castle Pines North Metro Board is taking on exciting and important initiatives. Planning and building renewable water infrastructure, implementing aggressive water conservation measures, and encouraging customers to xeriscape are action items that don’t magically occur on their own. Each requires vision and focused leadership. “I am genuinely happy to work with the board and to lead the staff and the community that we serve to new heights.”

Chase will be out of town on a business trip Sept. 12. Scholting, Hodges and Keim had already RSVP’d for a Voices for Public Education-sponsored address from national education expert Anthony Cody in Castle Rock. Voices for Public Education, sponsored by DCSD voucher lawsuit plaintiff Taxpayers for Public Education, is hosting a series of talks on public education between now and the Nov. 5 election. Notice of Cody’s event first was posted on the Voices’ Facebook page on Aug. 8. DiCarlo said he’s aware the absence of

four candidates will appear intentional to some. “All I can tell you is it was not planned to be that,” he said. “It bothers me we can’t get at least some of the four that can’t make it there. I have left the invitation open to them up until noon the day of the event.” DiCarlo said he became aware of the Sept. 12 Cody event after he scheduled the forum. “I only know about it because somebody sent me it after this all went down,” he said. Keim said the DAC’s date choice and decision to move forward are “disappointing.” “It’s the one forum that is put on by the district, so to have it happen this way is just not right,” she said. “It’s not fair for the parents and community members who want to be informed.” During an Aug. 13 DAC meeting, DiCarlo said he had reached out to six of the candidates about the then-proposed forum. The candidate field then stood at 12. Scholting, Hodges, Keim and Chase were not among the six he contacted. The DAC also plans to create and send candidate questionnaires to all eight contenders. “I want to do something as a DAC that gets the opportunity for all the candidates to respond to questions from SACs (school accountability committees), and I think the questionnaires may be the best way to go about doing that,” DiCarlo said.

opinions / yours and ours

Finding clarity on pot a taxing process More than 10 months after Colorado voters approved the legalization of recreational marijuana use and sales, confusion reigns. Sure, passage of Amendment 64 last November made a few things clear: Possession of up to 1 ounce is legal. People under 21 years of age may not purchase pot. It remains illegal to smoke marijuana in public places. But a couple of the most basic questions still need to be answered: Where can one legally buy it? How much will it cost? The first question is being explored by Colorado’s cities and counties. At this point, few Denver-area municipalities have opted to make retail sales legal, instead taking a cautious, wait-and-see approach. Some — like all of Douglas County’s most populated cities and towns — have already decided to outright ban retail sales. It’s

our view possible most of Colorado could follow suit, leaving the state with a handful of “marijuana islands” where pot is legally sold. The cost question is largely in the hands of the state’s voters. On top of whatever price point the marijuana market dictates, there will be taxes, and in Colorado, that means voter approval is needed. A recent rally at the Capitol in Denver urged approval of a 15 percent excise tax and a 10 percent sales tax on the retail marijuana industry. If the state’s voters approve Proposition AA in November, money

letters to the editor Time to change school board

In response to Dustin Zvonek’s guest column supporting Douglas County’s education reform: It’s ironic that Mr. Zvonek chooses to begin his guest commentary with “the old adage about not trying to fix what isn’t broken.” The Douglas County School District was NOT broken and didn’t need to be fixed before the reformers came in and tried to do just that. Among other concerns, DCSD’s state assessment scores reported by the Colorado Department of Education have decreased in three of four subject areas since the reformers took over in 2009. Our scores are still above the state average, but not as far above as they were in 2009. As of last year, high school students have lost over 240 hours of instructional time as a minimum graduation requirement. And Mr. Zvonek calls this “positive change”? We DCSD parents can see that these reforms are not working. We must restore our district to its prior excellence and the only way to do so is by electing four new board members that will put sound, proven educational policies back in place. Connie Ingram Highlands Ranch

Douglas County schools are slipping

Regarding Dustin Zvonek’s guest column supporting Douglas County’s education reform: It’s too bad that Mr. Zvonek does not take the time to research the truth, which he would find to be the exact opposite of what he shared in his opinion piece. The facts are there is lower parent satisfaction, state assessment results indicate that Douglas County is no longer number one in the metro-Denver area, and unlike years past, not one Douglas County high school made it in the 2013 Newsweek rankings of top high schools.

It appears that the fact-check rating of “pants on fire” that was mentioned in the article on Americans for Prosperity is warranted. Randi Allison Parker

Facts about schools are troubling

In Dustin Zvonek’s recent op-ed piece, he brings up an important point: Are Douglas County students better off today than they were four years ago? Mr. Zvonek makes a few claims that can easily be addressed with key facts: • “The needs of families and students come first in DCSD.” Unfortunately, there is no measurement of the needs of families and students, as the district hasn’t accepted the results of a parent survey since 2010. The last survey, conducted in 2012, showed that only 38 percent of parents approved of the direction of the district. While the district deemed that survey “inconclusive,” the results exceeded the criteria of the survey company the district hired to conduct the survey and are being used nationally. • “Test scores in math, science and reading are all up over the last five years.” While the District’s Newsline did report that scores were up, a quick check on the Colorado Department of Education website shows that since 2009 scores have actually dropped by 1 percentage point in all areas of content, except science which was up by 1 percentage point. The district acknowledged the error but never sent out a retraction and correction to the community. • “The district is improving its fiscal situation.” While large operating surpluses are desirable in the private industry, taking cuts to high schools that result in less time preparing students in class while posting a $20 million operating surplus is not fiscally responsible. DCSD’s fund balance has Letters continues on Page 9

from the taxes would reportedly go toward school construction and regulation of the marijuana industry. In general, we support approval of this proposition. It helps ensure the marijuana industry will pay for itself, and helps schools, to boot. But we do wonder if too many taxes could lead pot customers to turn back to the black market. The 25 percent statewide tax from Proposition AA would be in addition to whatever taxes local municipalities’ voters approve. Denver, for example, is asking residents to say yes to a 5 percent tax. The total tax toll of 30 percent could lead to an unaffordable product in what figures to be the state’s largest marijuana-selling zone. Having customers once again turn to the dealer down the street would be a clear example of the law of unintended consequences. But we feel taxes may be the only

way to keep the retail pot business from being a burden on Colorado, something the medical marijuana industry has been over the last few years. The state will have to bank on people’s willingness to pay the price for legality. Even after the issues of where to buy and how much it will cost are officially answered, there will remain plenty of gray areas. For example, many people are uncertain if they will get fired from their jobs if they partake. Others aren’t clear on how much they can smoke and still legally drive. Truth be told, it may take years — and more than a few legal challenges — before all the answers are in. But this November’s election and the actions of local governments in the months to follow should add important measures of clarity amid the lingering cloud of confusion.

Forecasts are ours to interpret Is it going to be partly cloudy or mostly sunny? That is one of those types of questions that is similar to, “Is the glass half full or half empty,” right? Even with the latest and greatest technology and applied scientific facts, at the end of the day the interpretation of the forecast can be influenced by the person sharing the information or even by our own mood or attitude on the day we see or hear the prediction for the weather. Forecasts are not just about the weather, are they? Analysts forecast the outcomes and productivity of everything from the stock market and individual companies to professional sporting events and even amateur or high school sporting events. Who will win, who will lose, and by how much? In the business world, CEOs base their operational decisions on the sales forecast provided by the vice president of sales and the chief marketing officer. They anticipate revenues based on information gathered through stringent business tools and processes like Customer Relationship Management applications. Again the latest and greatest technology, however influenced by human input and emotion. You see, if the data input is based on the attitude, mood, or feeling of the person sharing the information, it becomes subjective. And in some cases this places the business at great risk due to inaccurate and confused forecasts. So whether or not it is you or I searching for the weather forecast on our smart phone, listening for it on the radio, or watching it on television, it is really an opportunity for us to look at the day as mostly sunny, not partly cloudy. And if the business analysts and sportswriters provide us with their outlook on

what will be happening with our stocks or favorite teams, it is up to us to determine how that impacts our forecast for the day. Why do we focus on the slightest possibility of the “bad” instead of the enormous opportunity for the “good”? There are plenty of people whose forecast is within a reasonable rate of accuracy. But who determines what is a reasonable rate of accuracy for our own forecasts and in our own lives? Are we OK with being 10 percent accurate, 50 percent accurate, or do we need the assurance of 100 percent accuracy of how our days and weeks are going to turn out? It’s not just about the forecast, it’s about how we perceive our personal and professional endeavors and how we prepare ourselves for the outcomes regardless if the results are what we had anticipated and forecasted, or something worse, and maybe even something much better. What’s in your forecast? Is it going to be partly cloudy or mostly sunny? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And yes, I am forecasting a better than good week.

D.C. dysfunction hurts rural Colorado One sign of the dysfunction in Washington these days is that the conversations there have become completely detached from the ones happening in kitchens and living rooms across Colorado and the country. Recently, we spent some days traveling the eastern plains from north to south. From Haxtun to Walsh, people weren’t interested in talking about the latest shouting from pundits on the cable news. Instead, they asked why Congress hasn’t passed a farm bill or fixed our broken immigration system and why Washington isn’t meeting its basic obligations. These are the same questions we’ve heard from countless Coloradans in our town hall meetings and roundtables across the state. We’ve met Coloradans who are hard at work every day doing their jobs, wondering what’s taking Congress so long to get its own job done. One thing is clear: Washington isn’t meeting the needs of our rural communities. The certainty that comes from pas-

sage of a five-year farm bill, or a sound immigration policy, is essential for the success of our farmers, ranchers, small businesses and our rural economies. While the Senate has passed bipartisan bills addressing these important issues, the U.S. House of Representatives is stuck in “politics as usual.” What they fail to see is that these delays have real-life implications across our state. In August, I had the opportunity to visit Jerry Cooksey in Roggen, Colo., where he is growing a new strain of wheat that is both drought- and disease-resistant. Colorado State University developed this wheat with the help of funding from

the farm bill, and it has proven profitable for wheat farmers across the state. Southeastern Colorado farmers continue to suffer from a terrible drought. While we can’t make it rain, the bipartisan Senate farm bill includes measures to help farmers and ranchers make the best decisions for their operations, improve soil and water quality and keep them in business during and after difficult times. The bill also reinstates expired livestock disaster programs that would cover losses both for this year and last year. It isn’t only our producers who benefit from the Farm Bill. Community organizations and business owners across the state have used USDA rural development grants and loans authorized in the farm bill to start businesses, complete projects, or to make profitable investments and improvements in infrastructure. For example, La Plata Electric Association in Durango received a USDA grant to explore renewable energy options, and the Haxtun Community Childcare Center used this funding to open the only child-care center in the area, allowing parents in rural com-

munities to work and raise a family. On Hanagan Farms in La Junta, we met with farmers and ranchers who explained that our broken immigration system is hurting their businesses. The convoluted and unworkable H-2A visa program prevents them from finding the reliable workers that they need to harvest their crops. It’s stories like these that help my office bring Colorado’s perspective back to Washington. They are invaluable to my work as a member of the “Gang of Eight” senators who authored the bipartisan Senate immigration bill and more recently as a member of the Farm Bill Conference Committee that will work out the final details of the farm bill. It’s my hope that members of Congress across the country are also spending time in their states listening to the common sense of their constituents, instead of the ongoing noise of Washington’s echo chamber, so we can better serve our rural communities.

storm that caused a dramatic and tearful end to this amazing service. Certainly it was not the lack of need or the competency of the staff. So my grief extends beyond my concern for my next paycheck. I was ministering in my sweet spot and when people needed us, we were there. In a world that needs care, we were providing it. There is a group of people who have become very special to me and are my greatest support. In addition to my wife and me, seven new friends make up our community group — that’s what they call “small groups” in my church. Most churches today have some kind of “small-group” ministry. Community groups, life groups, care groups, journey groups are some of the names they use. Small groups help

faith work when things don’t make sense. We meet for a little over an hour, once a week, to discuss and study a portion of Scripture, share needs, tell stories and generally live the journey of life together. When my crisis was unfolding I was eager to see my group because I knew they would not pound me with advice or meaningless platitudes, but they would listen and care. That is the kind of care everyone needs when life does not make sense.

Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

Support helps when life makes no sense It just does not make sense. The oldest hospice in Denver, the one that I worked for, has closed. Founded 38 years ago by a Catholic priest who was also a nurse, this oldest in-patient hospice in the whole country began serving the dying and supporting their grieving families. After three decades of ministry in church settings, I was introduced to the clinical setting as a chaplain at Hospice of Saint John. This very special hospice had more chaplains per patient than any other hospice. That is probably why I got my job, because they needed a chaplain to be oncall at night to visit families when a death occurred. Hundreds of times I stood with families as they experienced the reality of their loved one’s passing and I helped them negotiate the first sad and confusing moments, often in the very early morning hours. It was a tremendous honor to be with families at this sacred time. So quickly these families received me into their homes and lives and shared their fondest memories and deepest pain. What I learned about a caring, listening, presence and the breadth and magnitude of grief in our culture exceeded anything I had known or seen before. I only thought I knew about hospice until I was a part of it. The hospice staff received me into their

quadrupled in the last three years, a clear sign that resources are not making it into the schools. I encourage Mr. Zvonek to stick to factual information and better understand the key issues regarding education of Douglas County students. Laura Mutton President, Strong Schools Coalition Highlands Ranch

Praise for school board dubious

Regarding Dustin Zvonek’s guest column on Douglas County schools: Mr. Zvonek used key words that Americans for Prosperity has co-opted to claim the high road for the education of our children. These words include “choice,” “accountability” and “reform.” Let’s look at how these words relate to what the current school board has done or is planning to do. Choice: The “choice scholarship” program (vouchers) does not provide equal access to quality education. Parents with an income of $250,000 a year or more and a $6,000 voucher would be able to make up the remaining $7,000 to $11,000 in tuition to a quality private school. Parents with an income of $80,000 to $120,000 and the same voucher would not have the same range of choices. Accountability: Mr. Zvonek claims the current board and its actions lead to greater availability of facts from which parents can make informed choices. What facts is

ranks and in the natural course of doing their work educated me on gentleness and compassionate caregiving. Nurses continually responded to calls for help and ran to the patient’s side to provide the appropriate medication, words and touch and returned to the charts in their nurses’ station to record their efforts and comply with regulations and best practices of communication in the medical profession. Certified nursing assistants bathed and turned and comforted patients. During meetings where doctors, nurses, social workers, CNAs, chaplains, alternative therapy director and bereavement people were all present, I understood why the families were frequently profuse in their gratitude that such care was available at their time of need. A variety of factors created the perfect

he referring to? Clear data shows the board has misrepresented important facts about school finances and more recently academic gains. Recent TCAP scores suggest Douglas County schools are just hanging on to the good performance standards that had come to be expected prior to the current board’s arrival. The current board conducts much of its business behind closed doors. How is this a demonstration of accountability? Video from public portions of board meetings shows a board that is not “open to community input,” unless it is to agree with them. Reform: Mr. Zvonek talks about the new pay-for-performance system. Such a system can be quite good when it ensures validity and reliability of assessments. None of this describes the new system. Finally, there is no evidence that Douglas County teachers were demoralized in years past. Those demoralized “slackers,” as Mr. Zvonek puts it, were responsible for an excellent and innovative school system that families moved to Douglas County for. But those teachers are demoralized now and they’re leaving now too. Barbara Barlow Highlands Ranch

Town’s actions were courageous

I was proud of my town’s mayor and council when I read the article about replacing the global warming sculpture with “In God We Trust.” Government is in sad shape today, but now there’s a bit of hope for Castle Rock. I say thank you. That took a lot of courage. Stand tall. Wendy Waltz Castle Rock

up seeing him during those five minutes. Jamie Baumgardner said in a Sept. 6 interview that, since he had moved into The Meadows about two months ago, Archer had been a wonderful neighbor, answering questions about the neighborhood and giving gardening tips. When Baumgardner returned home from work that day, he saw Archer lying face-down. “Everything kind of slowed down. I put the car in park, didn’t shut it down and ran over,” Baumgardner said. “All my first-aid training flooded back to me.” And lucky things kept happening. Baumgardner had visitors at his house — his father-in-law, a retired doctor, and his mother-in-law, a retired nurse. Archer was ashen gray, had no respiration and no pulse, but the three of them conducted CPR until Goudy and other emergency responders arrived. At that point, Archer’s heart was in ventricular fi-

September 12, 2013 brillation, still quivering, and eventually they were able to shock the heart back into rhythm. And the new Castle Rock Adventist Hospital is a couple minutes from his house. Later, for additional help, he was airlifted to a waiting cardiac team at Porter Hospital. It’s not clear what factors, or combination of factors, contributed to the attack, but Archer now has permanent help — an implanted defibrillator to shock his heart if ever needed. He and his fiancee now attend church together. “Now I don’t ever miss church. I sit in the front row,” he said. “I’m thankful that I’m here.” And the neighbors have grown quite close. Baumgardner has mowed Archer’s lawn, takes his trash out. “I love that guy,” Archer said about Baumgardner. Baumgardner said he has regrets about something. He thinks he yelled at the 911 operator, because of all of her questions. He just wanted immediate help for Archer. “I had so much adrenaline going through me I felt I could have flipped a truck,” he said, recalling his own condition during the emergency.

Trips translate code of history Navajo veterans honored by area Young Marines

ABOUT THE NAVAJO CODE TALKERS

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Every August since 2006, Brenda McNulty has been taking a group of Young Marines to Window Rock, Ariz., to participate in Navajo Code Talkers Day. McNulty, who is the battalion commander overseeing Young Marines units in Highlands Ranch, Douglas County, Aurora and Monument, as well as a unit in Kansas, met her first four World War II code talkers earlier that year when she was on a trip to Iwo Jima with some of the local Young Marines, including one of her sons. After striking up a friendship with the veterans, the Young Marines were invited to Arizona that year to participate in the Aug. 14 annual celebration, becoming the only non-Navajos to partake in the parade. Since that year, the trip has become a rite of summer for McNulty, who said she would rather give up Christmas or her birthday than forgo spending Navajo Code Talkers Day with some of the youngest and oldest service-minded Americans around. What began as a two-day adventure with a small group of Young Marines seven years ago has since morphed into a three-day experience for 101 kids between the ages of 8 and 18 who come from all over the country to help clean up Window Rock Navajo Tribal Park, set up flags and march in the parade, escort the surviving code talkers around, present gifts to the Navajo family members and listen to old war stories. “It’s a chance to immerse the kids into their culture,” McNulty said. “In my opinion, everyone needs to know about this day and learn about what the code talkers did. Surprisingly a lot of people don’t know the history of how these brave Navajos were able to help save American lives in World War II. “We want to carry on their legacy. Most

When Japanese intelligence experts began breaking every code U.S. forces devised during World War II, World War I veteran Philip Johnston suggested that the U.S. military develop a code based on the unwritten Navajo language. Johnston, the son of a missionary to the Navajos, was one of few non-Navajos fluent in their tongue and understood that many Navajo words had different meanings depending on context. The U.S. Marines signed up 420 Navajo radio operators who passed messages in code among them from location to location, aiding the U.S. forces. During the first two days of the battle of Iwo Jima the code talkers transmitted 800 messages with no mistakes, playing a key role in the U.S. emerging victorious. Fewer than 30 code talkers are alive today. history books don’t even mention them, and because it remained a secret for so long, a lot of the story got lost while it was a secret. There are so many amazing stories and they are willing to share them all.” Of the fewer than 30 Navajo code talkers still alive, 24 of them were present at this year’s celebration, and for the Young Marines who went it was an eye-opening and life-changing experience. Douglas County Young Marine Carson Hague, a seventh-grader at Ave Maria Catholic School in Parker, said hearing the stories was likely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. “I have two grandfather who served in World War II so I have always been interested in World War II history and accounts that have happened,” he said. “It’s rare to meet people who have had such an impact on our lives,” McNulty added. “These men are more than just World War II heroes. They are dear friends of the Young Marines. The best part for me is seeing how excited they are to see the kids.” To learn more about the Young Marines, please visit www.youngmarines.com. For more on the Navajo code talkers, go to www.navajocodetalkers.org.

Brenner’s loss is others’ gain Bob Brenner, the “Extreme Weight Loss” record breaker on the hit ABC television series, was so transformed by his experience on the show that he has announced plans to become a certified life coach to help others realize weight loss success. To achieve his life coach certification, Brenner is partnering with the Coloradobased school Coach Training Alliance to become a credentialed coach. He is expected to earn his life coach certification in November. During his yearlong journey on “Extreme Weight Loss” season three (season four is being filmed at the University of Colorado’s Anschutz Health and Wellness Center in Aurora), Brenner lost a record 253 pounds — or 56 percent of his body weight — through a commitment to healthy eating, regular exercise and mental perseverance. His next extreme transformation is a total career makeover — going from Milwaukee undercover cop to national life coach. Brenner also remains good friends with “Extreme Weight Loss” host Chris Powell. Both guys were in Denver the first weekend in September.

Barbecue Blowout

Show makes a move

The success of the fifth annual Smokin’ Brew BBQ Aug. 30Sept. 1 caused some vendors to reduce their menu options, as they ran out of their most popular items on the final day. Thousands flocked to the Parker Station parking lot for barbecue delicacies, cooling drinks and plenty of entertainment. Children screamed with glee on the bungee jump trampoline, while others danced to live music or attempted to get more ice cream in their mouths than on their faces.

‘Stars’ supports school art programs Program expands to cover all of Douglas County By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Look for those stars! In 2012, Castle View High School art teacher Julie Holladay gathered like-minded artists and started a nonprofit organization called Stars 4 Castle Rock. It was intended to raise extra funding for school visual art programs and student scholarships, so students could have supplies they needed to develop new skills and experience the boost to self-esteem that successful interaction with the arts can offer. Six large metal sculptural stars painted by artists were located around Castle Rock to raise awareness, and they were auctioned at a November Masquerade Gala along with other donated art. The event was a wonderful success and this fall, the effort is expanded to support visual art programs in all of Douglas County. Four of last year’s stars are semi-perma-

nently on display in Castle Rock — one outside the Philip S. Miller Library and three at Festival Park. This year, a total of 12 will be offered and expanded placement for large stars includes: Crowfoot Valley Coffee in Castle Rock, The Grange in Castle Rock, Castle Rock Adventist Hospital, The Wildlife Experience in Parker, Lone Tree Library, Park Meadows mall and Highlands Ranch Library through the end of October. Smaller stars can be seen at Roxborough Gallery at the Marketplace and Cherokee Ranch and Castle in Sedalia. A special contest involves taking a photo with a star and uploading it to Stars 4 Douglas County’s Facebook page by Sept. 30. The person with the most likes will win prizes. Artists are invited to donate work to be exhibited and auctioned at a live or silent auction at the Nov. 1 Masquerade Gala at Cielo in Castle Pines. The theme is Venetian Nights or stars. Items may be delivered to the Philip S. Miller Library from 4 to 7 p.m. Oct. 1. Information and an entry form are found at stars4castlerock.com. Information also is available at stars4douglascounty@gmail. com.

Chinook Tavern, 6380 S. Fiddlers Green Circle in the Regis University building in Greenwood Village off I-25 and Arapahoe, is the new venue for this year’s edition of “The John Fox Show,” which airs at 6:30 p.m. Wednesdays on 7News. On the first show (Fox appeared via a taped interview because of the season opener against the Ravens), Broncos Ring-of-Famer and all-time leading wide receiver Rod Smith joined 7Sports anchor Lionel Bienvenu live from the restaurant. Each week, different football guests will join Bienvenu and fans will have the opportunity to be a part of the live show. “Everybody knows the Broncos have an incredible hold on the heart of our city, and this is an exciting way for Chinook and our guests to go `inside the huddle’ this season, which could be a very memorable one for Broncos fans,” said Clemens Georg, Chinook general manager.

Valley girls and guys?

Artist Will Lipscomb’s painted metal star is included in the 2013 Stars for Douglas County collection. Courtesy photo The organization recently received a gift of more than $23,000 in art supplies, according to Holladay. eScience Labs of Denver donated drawing paper pads, pastels, paints, brushes, colored pencils, art sets and more, which will be distributed early in 2014 to 12 lucky schools. (Volunteers are needed to help with distribution.)

Colorado is fast encroaching on Silicon Valley’s crown as the king of incubators for tech startup companies, according to entrepreneur.com (www.entrepreneur.com/ article/227829). According to the story posted Aug. 14, “Four of the top 10 metro regions in the U.S. with the most tech startups are in Colorado: Boulder, Fort Collins-Loveland, Denver and Colorado Springs. That’s according to a report released (recently) by technology policy coalition engine and entrepreneurship research association the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.” The research defines high-tech startups as “new businesses with a concentration of employees in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.” Here’s how Colorado cities stacked up: 1.

Ikeda abstracts go up at Lone Tree Reception will be held before jazz concert

IF YOU GO “Lines in Space,” paintings by Homare Ikeda, will be exhibited at the Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree, from Sept. 20 to Nov. 10. A reception will be from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 20. Viewing hours: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays to Fridays and prior to performances. Artwork is available for sale at the box office. 720-5091000, lonetreeartscenter.org.

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The second in a series of Commissioners Choice invitational exhibits will fill the walls of the Lone Tree Arts Center with “Lines in Space,” internationally recognized artist Homare Ikeda’s stunning, richly colored abstract paintings, from Sept. 20 to Nov. 10. There will be a reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. prior to the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra’s Sept. 20 concert at 8 p.m. Ikeda, born on the subtropical island of

Yoron, near Okinawa, Japan, taught himself Oriental brush techniques by copying, but then became interested in contemporary art. He moved to the United States in 1978 and was connected with the University of

Colorado/Boulder by a California professor. He received a BFA and MFA there and now lives in Parker. He teaches at the Art Students League and shows his work in group and solo shows. Ikeda is represented in Denver by the prestigious William Havu Gallery, which worked with Lone Tree’s recently appointed curator Sally L. Perisho to curate this exhibit. A blending of East and West is found is Ikeda’s paintings, which are linked with classic Abstract Expressionism and show little evidence of traditional Japanese art forms. He has said: “My line to me is very Oriental and the way I compose forms is Oriental too.” A viewer can look forward to finding meaning in form and color and interpreting

as he or she wishes. In his artist statement, Ikeda writes that “the thickly painted surface is reminiscent of my journey into the heart of the sea where all my reflections of life are imbued …. At a certain point in this process, the painting takes over my control. The painting is transformed to the state of unknown ….” The painting speaks to him and leads him to a conclusion. The Lone Tree Arts Commission supports professional and emerging artists by providing a venue to display their work in a public setting. With a rolling deadline, artists submit art to be considered and reviewed year-round. Commissioners look for “a meaningful body of work with an educational and informative component.”

Rangell set for jazz show at Lone Tree Local musician organizes group of top-notch players By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The 2013-2014 season starts at 8 p.m. Sept. 20 for the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra. The group was organized last season by saxophonist Art Bouton, a Lone Tree resident, to bring 16 top area jazz musicians to the thennew Lone Tree Arts Center. Enthusiastically received by area jazz fans in the 2012 season, the CJRO will appear four times this year. “Everything Old is New Again” is the theme of the first concert, described at “big band funk, booty-shakin’ music,” featuring saxophonist Nelson Rangell. He will perform as part of the CJRO and then be featured with his own Nelson Rangell Quartet. The band will trace the origins of the music, beginning with Duke Ellington’s “Rockin’ in Rhythm” and “Harlem Nocturne,” followed by sounds of the 1960s and 1970s and arriving at the smooth jazz pop of Rangell. Rangell, who started playing in the Denver area in the 1980s, is internationally recognized. The Times of London wrote that he is “an artist of depth, a master of song and an improviser nonpareil … with extraordinary facility on a

Nelson Rangell to perform

Denver-based jazz performer Nelson Rangell will help the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra open its 2013-14 season at the Lone Tree Arts Center at 8 p.m. Sept. 20. Born in Castle Rock and a Denver resident, Rangell has been hailed internationally as one of the world’s best saxophone players. Details and tickets are at lonetreeartscenter.org.

range of instruments ….” He will play soprano, alto and tenor saxophone, flute and perhaps piccolo. Talented band members, who perform throughout the metro area and nationwide, include on saxophone Rangell, Bouton, Tom Myer, Elijah Samuels and Wil Swindler. The trombone section consists of Darren Kramer, Rob Olds, Wade Sander and Lindsey Gardner. Trumpeters are Chris Walters, Gabe Mervin, Dawn Kramer and Dave Rajewski. The rhythm section is made up of Eric Gunnison on piano, Bijoux Barbosa on bass and Mike Marlier on drums. Future programs: • Oct. 28, 7:30 p.m.: “Swingin’ with Duke Ellington.” • Jan. 10, 8 p.m.: “Tribute to Maynard Ferguson,” featuring Pete Olstad, an alumnus of the Ferguson band. • May 12, 7:30 p.m.: Big Band Blues, with a guest vocalist. Some of these musicians are academics like Bouton, who is a professor at the University of Denver’s Newman School, and other teach privately and/or freelance. Many are in other area performing groups as well — part of a rich local network of talented artists. The Lone Tree Arts Center’s fine acoustics show off the individual and combined talents of these musical professionals especially well. Tickets cost $20 (plus a $3 service charge). 720-509-1000, LoneTreeArtsCenter.org.

Western historian wins Six Shooter Award In his Arapahoe Community College classrooms, Jeff Broome teaches philosophy, but outside of those walls, he focuses many hours on scholarship in Western history. He writes articles and books and speaks about his area of expertise, the Indian Wars and the period in which they occurred. He recently won The Six Shooter Award from the Wild West History Association for “the best general history article in 2012,” an article in Wild West Magazine entitled “Wild Bill’s Brawl with Two of Custer’s Troops.” It’s about Wild Bill Hickok in Hays, Kan., in 1870, when Hickok was attacked by two soldiers in a bar, Tommy Drum’s Saloon. In late November, Broome’s latest volume, “Cheyenne War: Indian Raids on the Roads to Denver” will be published by the Logan County Historical Society in Sterling and Aberdeen Books in Englewood.

Huskies take bite out of ’Cats Douglas County rolls over crosstown rival Castle View By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com A fireworks show and a streaker may have stolen the spotlight at Friday night’s halftime show in Castle Rock, but it was without a doubt the Trey Smith show that people will be talking about for some time to come. The Douglas County senior ran for four touchdowns and returned an interception for another, helping the Huskies streak past crosstown Castle View, 43-10, in just the second meeting between the two schools. Make it Huskies 2, Sabercats 0. “When a kid runs a 10.6 (100), there’s not too many people that can stop him,” said Douglas County head coach Jeff Ketron. “He’ll be the first one to tell you, though, it’s his offensive line doing that blocking, and on that pick, he never would’ve gotten to the end zone if it wasn’t for good blocking there too.” Smith, who finished the night with 232 yards on 22 carries, ran for 51 yards on his first three touches, finding pay dirt three minutes and 49 seconds into the contest. Just 53 seconds later, he took the first of four Sabercat interceptions back 25 yards for a score. The Colorado State commit then made it 21-0 as he ran another one in from 22 yards out on the first play of the second quarter. “That’s the one team on our schedule, I told the kids, that we don’t want to lose to,” said Castle View coach Ryan Hollingshead.

Douglas County senior Tyler Ketron, 19, gets congratulated by teammate JP Rubino, 36, after hauling a catch against rival Castle View on Sept. 6 in Castle Rock. “They made a couple big plays early and we never got out of our funk. I think our defense stepped up and made some good adjustments (in the second half), but offensively we just kept making silly mistakes.” Castle View junior Chris Linnin (8-for11, 185 yards, one interception) — who split time with Trevor Smeeton at quarterback (3-for-11, 55 yards, three interceptions) — gave the Cats a glimmer of hope with a 57-yard pass to junior Parker Strahler (three catches, 112 yards) early in the sec-

ond quarter, setting up a first-and-goal at the Huskies 8-yard line. Douglas County’s defense held the Cats to a field goal, however, and refused to let them set up inside the Huskies 10-yard line again on the night. Douglas County built its lead to 28-3 a mere 30 seconds after the field goal as Smith scampered in again, this time from 45 yards out. Smith then added a 12-yard score midway through the third for a 34-3 cushion. “It wasn’t all me. The line opened up

holes for me, and we just came out as a team and scored touchdowns,” said Smith, admitting the Huskies didn’t like being considered the visiting team on their home field. “It definitely got under our skin. This is our home stadium and we wanted to come out and show them whose field it was,” he said. “During the week there is a lot of talk going on around the town, so it definitely feels good to win by a good number. ... I’m friends with some of them, but when we come out here it’s a battle.” Castle View junior Erik Taylor trimmed the lead to 34-10 with a 46-yard touchdown run early in the fourth, but the Huskies were quick to answer once again, as junior quarterback Ruel Rope ran a 6-yard option keeper in 48 seconds later, snuffing out any momentum the Cats had found. Senior Bryan Wyatt added a 49-yard field goal with seconds remaining to ice the game for Douglas County. Next up for Douglas County (2-0) is a big early-season test as the Huskies travel to Cherry Creek (2-0) on Sept. 12 for a nonleague matchup. Castle View, meanwhile, will look to get back on track with a homecoming win as the Sabercats (1-1) host Doherty (2-0) in the Pioneer League opener for both teams Sept. 13 at Douglas County Stadium. “If you are going to have a rebound week, you might as well have homecoming, because the kids are all jacked,” Hollingshead said. “High school kids have pretty short memories when there is something to look forward to. I think we are going to be all right. Our goal is to win the league and that starts next week.”

Sabercats soccer team tops Titans First-half goal brings 1-0 win in league contest By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com New Castle View boys soccer coach Sergio Salgado often jokes with assistant coach Steve Paulukovich about being Salgado’s secretary. Castle View opened its Continental League campaign Sept. 5 with a 1-0 victory over Legend at Sports Authority Stadium, and Salgado let Paulukovich do the talking after the victory. “I do the talking because Sergio does not like to,” said Paulukovich. “I was just joking. Sergio and I have a great relationship that he will run the team most of the time and I am his secretary. I handle most of the paperwork so he can focus on the team.” Castle View senior Drew Bertron, off an assist from Santo Ruiz, scored a first-half goal that saw the ball bounce off the goal post and Legend keeper Eric Smith before winding up in the net. The Sabercats made that tally hold up. Castle View’s defense, led by senior Vincent Siefken and goalie Kevin Santana, who made nine saves, was solid the entire match.

“Our defense did pretty well,” added Paulukovich. “Our midfield needs to be compact, but toward the end of the game we got it pretty good. In the middle of the game we weren’t playing up to our potential. “We’ve been telling our boys every single game and since the summer to finish every game strong. They finished the Legend game strong. We got the message to them. One thing Sergio has said before is there are not any all-stars, superstars on this team but we play as a unit.” Legend played the final portion of the game a man short after a red card was issued. “That’s what we get for not having discipline and mouthing off on the field,” said Titans coach Jordan Ivey. “We had a good share of chances during the game, we just couldn’t stick them in the back of the net. One mistake early and that’s all it takes in this league with everybody we play against.” Legend faced Rock Canyon in a Continental League match Sept. 10 at Shea Stadium and will meet Mountain Vista Sept. 14 at Sports Authority Stadium “You never like to drop a game like that (against Castle View) early in league, but if you are going to drop one like that, early is better,” said Ivey. “It motivates you. We

Legend’s Armando Areolla makes a pass against Castle View. Photo by Jim Benton have two really big games against Rock Canyon and Mountain Vista. If we can pull some Ws in those two games, it can make up for the Castle View loss.”

Castle View played at Regis Jesuit Sept. 10 and plays crosstown rival Douglas County Sept. 12 at Douglas County Stadium in a pair of league matches.

Utah team hands Valor a loss Coach calls game a case of ‘facing adversity’ By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Valor Christian junior defensive back Brian Dawkins Jr. admitted he was angry for a while until he examined the bigger picture. The Eagles, Colorado’s top-ranked Class 5A football team, lost 24-21 in overtime to Bingham, a team from South Jordan, Utah, in a game played Sept. 7 at Valor Christian. Bingham is Utah’s top-ranked team in Class 5A. “I was mad at first then I remembered everything happens for a reason,” said Dawkins. “This was a learning lesson for our team. We’re going to use this game to let us not have this feeling again. We want to dominate the rest of this season.” Valor, which has won four consecutive Colorado state championships and is the defending Class 5A titlist, should be favored in its next seven regular season games against Colorado opposition. “It’s all about trying to get some challenges, facing adversity and seeing how we respond,” said Valor coach Rod Sherman. “We would much rather be in a game like that again Bingham versus games that are easy. We want to be challenged. We have a lot of work to

do, but we are going to get better. We’re going to be OK.” Last season, the Eagles lost to Bingham, 21-20, in Utah, and this year’s Utah-Colorado Border War game was just as close. “There were probably four to six plays that were critical plays that we missed,” said Sherman. “They made some of those plays. A close game like that ended up turning on those plays.” Both teams made potential gamechanging plays, but the two biggest came in overtime. Valor had the ball first with four chances to score from the 10-yard line. Eagles running back Christian McCaffrey gained seven yards on second down to put the ball at the 3-yard line. However, holding was called on Valor, which nullified the run and moved the ball back to the 21-yard line. Quarterback A.J. Cecil gained 10 yards, but he was sacked on third down and fumbled. McCaffrey picked up the loose ball and tried the scramble, but the play wound up losing 28 yards. Paul Grizzle’s 56-yard field goal attempt was wide and short. Bingham didn’t waste time, and on first down Chayden Johnston drilled a 27-yard field goal to give the Miners the victory. “It would have been third and goal from the three, and then that holding call moved us back,” explained Sherman. “Our initial plan was to throw the

ball on first down and run the ball the next three plays. Frankly if we were inside the three we would have probably went for it on fourth down.” The holding call and Johnston’s field goal were big plays that decided the televised contest that had many plays that swung the momentum. Valor’s Ben Waters blocked a Miners punt and Marcus Wilson recovered in the end zone to give the Eagles a 7-0 lead. Eric Lee Jr. intercepted a Bingham pass at the Valor 2-yard line to thwart a drive, and then McCaffrey, who rushed for 245 yards on 27 carries, broke two tackles and raced 98 yards for a touchdown to help stake the Eagles to a 14-0 lead. With the score tied at 14 late in the third period, Valor took over on downs at their own 1-yard line after a goal line stand, but McCaffrey fumbled and Bingham’s Nick Heninger recovered in the end zone to give the visitors a 2114 lead. Valor tied the game on a 5-yard scoring pass from Cecil to McCaffrey and had a chance to win when Dawkins intercepted a pass at the Eagles’ 20 and returned it to the 48-yard line with 40 seconds left in regulation. The Eagles drove to the Bingham 8-yard line, but Grizzle’s 26-yard field goal on the final play of regulation was blocked by Langi Tuifua. “That’s as good as we could ask for, a chance,” said Sherman.

s Yellowstone’s neighbor is magical place

Mention Yellowstone National Park and just about everyone has either been there or knows of its many natural wonders, including the most famous of all geysers, “Old Faithful.” Wildlife is another major draw, and it is one of the few places in the country where visitors may actually see wild, free-roaming grizzly bears and wolves. But resting just a few miles south of Yellowstone’s south entrance in Wyoming, via the John D. Rockefeller Jr. Memorial Parkway, lies another popular national park that is often overlooked by Yellowstone-bound visitors. It’s called Grand Teton National Park, and mid-September to early October is truly one of the best times of the year to experience this national treasure. Yellowstone and the Tetons share much in common, but are not the same. Each park has its own distinct features, and if you skip the Tetons you are missing some of the best Western outdoor grandeur in the National Park System. The jagged peaks of the Teton Range can be seen long before entering the park. Once inside the park there are a number of popular viewing areas — Oxbow Bend, Cottonwood Creek, the Snake River Overlook and Sept. Coulter Bay, to mention a few. As dawn apuglas proaches, photographers from all over will tadi- gather at these sites to capture the first rays of the sun as it slowly brings the majestic peaks of the Tetons to life. Elk, bison, pronghorn antelope and black and grizzly bears may be seen throughout the park. Moose, a park favorite, thrive in the valleys and are often seen feeding along the Snake River, and around the Oxbow Bend overlook area. Just one of a number of camping grounds in the park, and a good bet for moose watching, is the Gros Ventre Campground, just a dozen or so miles from the Town of Jackson. Nestled in the shadow of the Tetons and among the tall cottonwoods that line the Gros Ventre River, this spot provides all the makings for a great outdoor experience. Bears, moose and other wildlife can usually be found along the Moose-Wilson Road

ur ot

near the south end of the park. In anticipation of the coming winter, bears will go on a feeding frenzy and gorge themselves in the numerous hawthorn and chokecherry berry bushes that line this stretch of roadway. Be prepared to face traffic jams and delays if a bear or moose is spotted. The road is narrow and will not accommodate many vehicles at a time, but who really cares? Jackson Lake, Jenny Lakes, the Snake River and numerous other waters in and around the park provide excellent fishing. These pristine waters also provide opportunities for canoeing, kayaking and other outdoor activities. Hiking trails and picnic areas abound. Mormon Row, near Antelope Flats, contains probably the most photographed barns in the country. With the Tetons rising in the background, these roughly 100-year-old-plus shelters are best seen and photographed with the morning sun. The Moulton Barn was featured in the Hollywood classic “Spencer’s Mountain,” starring Henry Fonda, and has graced the pages of many a magazine and Christmas card. There is just so much history here to see and enjoy. Timing is everything when it comes to catching the autumn colors, usually late September into early October. During the peak of the season, the countryside is ablaze with various shades of yellow, orange and red. It’s absolutely breathtaking and a good time to be there. Tony Lane, the former police chief of Castle Rock, is an avid outdoorsman and photographer.

In anticipation of winter, this black bear gorges himself on the fall crop of berries along the Moose-Wilson Road in Grand Teton National Park. Moose sightings are also frequent along this stretch of roadway
