Retail project tabled Proposed ‘Promenade’ development next to Outlets doesn’t survive discussions By Virginia Grantier

Francis Liedle, 25, left, and Jacob Liedle, 23, brothers and members of the Castle Rock-based Chalet Dancers, were able to perform before the rain stopped the town’s Oktoberfest and drove the dancers into a local coffee shop.

Beer-ly underway It was several hours into Castle Rock’s annual Oktoberfest on Sept. 14, in the middle of live music, Bavarian dancing demonstrations and beer tasting, when Mother Nature stepped in and watered it down. Too much lightning, followed by sheets of rain, put an end about 4 p.m. to the Castle Rock Downtown Alliance’s free event in the Festival Park area, around Second and Perry and Wilcox streets. Vendors from the local area and out of town, offering beer and other products, had to disassemble tents and load equipment in a rain that soaked them almost immediately. They got the party started, but then Oktoberfest vendors had to call it a day as rain and lightning moved into Castle Rock on the afternoon of Sept. 14.

Displaced animals sheltered at fairgrounds Horses, others brought in from Commerce City area By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com Douglas County Fairgrounds opened its gates to the homeless during last week’s flooding —and in flowed 32 horses, 38 goats, seven sheep and one llama. Douglas County and its fairgrounds, generally sopping wet but OK, made room for displaced animals that were from hardhit areas. The animals, some of them, anyway, were from northeast of Commerce City and possibly other locations, a fairgrounds spokeswoman said Sept. 13. Animals continues on Page 33

A proposed 200-acre Castle Rock retail project that would be located next to the Outlets at Castle Rock, and at up to 900,000 square feet, would be twice as large as the outlet mall, is no longer a possibility — for the time being, anyway. “There’s always hope,” said Castle Rock Town Manager Mark Stevens in response to a councilmember’s query on whether there is any hope for a future agreement with the developer, the Greenwood Village-based Albert Development Partners LLC. But not much hope, currently. The town staff and attorney recommended tabling the project indefinitely, explaining, among other things, the lack of an agreement after negotiations this summer that centered on such issues as economic incentives for the developer, public improvement fees and metropolitan district issues. And the council agreed, voting 6-0 to “table indefinitely.” Councilmember Chip Wilson was absent. The town began negotiating with Alberta — a company that has created various projects in Denver and elsewhere, including The Streets at SouthGlenn in Centennial — after the town Ok’d unanimously, 7-0, in early July to give initial approval to a proposed private/public partnership with Alberta. The council’s July vote approved the conceptual financial structure and preparation of financial agreements. In that vote, they were approving a conceptual structure in which Alberta “would be responsible for all private costs and financial risk and would be responsible for implementing the project.” The town, in that conceptual deal, would have shared 27.5 percent of its sales tax revenues for up to 25 years. It was proposed that that revenue as well as fees imposed on retail customers would have been used to pay off a bond issue to be levied on the property’s metropolitan district to fund the project’s infrastructure costs. The council at that time also set a special meeting for Aug. 27 to consider final approval. But that meeting was continued as negotiations went on — and at the Sept. 10 meeting, Stevens said that continuing it again, instead of tabling it, could “mislead the public” that something was happening with the project. One of the sticking points apparently was that the town had a deadline to get the bond issue on the ballot and without an agreement with the developer, who was hard to reach lately, that deadline couldn’t be met. Since the council tabled the issue, instead of continuing it, if Alberta wants to proceed with the project, would be required to start all over again as far as the public notification process and public hearing process, staff explained to the council.

Have a seat and meet the neighbors Soon after Kelli and Mark Kolar moved into their two-story home on Hughes Place 18 years ago, The Bench became part of a purposeful plan: to make a gathering place. “Everybody was always outside,” Kelli remembers, “and it was a place where you could sit and relax and watch the kids and catch up with your neighbors.” They bought a bench made of teak, a sturdy but beautiful wood known for its ability to endure all kinds of weather. At the front of the yard, to the right of the driveway and next to the sidewalk, Mark attached it to cinder blocks buried in the ground, so pranksters couldn’t run away with it some night. They planted a pine tree behind it and bushes on each side. “One of the intentions of The Bench,” Kelli says, “was that anyone could go and use it.” And we did. For years, the children would play in the cul-de-sac and we parents would huddle around The Bench. And talk. And laugh. And share the kinds of stories that forged neighbors into friends and a street into a community. Then the children grew and lives became busier and divergent interests pulled us in different directions. The street became quieter. And so did camaraderie at The Bench. Over the years, several of the original families moved, including the Kolars. New families — some with younger children — replaced them. They became friends, chatting outside as their kids played.

But the magical draw of The Bench faded with the teak. In 2010, Rachel and Matt Keillor became the third family to live in the Kolar house. California transplants originally from the Midwest, they came with their daughter, Natalie, then 3, and their 2½-month-old son, Andrew. And then, as so often happens, an ordinary life event occurs that somehow starts a chain reaction that leads to something special. In this case: Andrew turned 2 and began to scooter. Natalie, now 6, wanted to ride her bike all the time. Rachel, a stay-at-home mom, knowing she’d be spending much of her time outside this past summer, looked to The Bench. She and Matt decided to refinish it. One weekend in May, Matt tried to move The Bench to the garage to sand it down and repaint it. That’s when he discovered the cinder blocks. And that’s when the neighbors rediscovered The Bench. Matt: “That weekend that we refinished it …” Rachel: “Every neighbor came over and talked to us.”

They said: “Oh, we used to sit out here all the time.” And shared such learned wisdom as: “Seize the day. Time goes by so quickly. Enjoy the moments with your kids; soon they’ll be going off to Boulder.” And a host of tips and tricks on landscaping and weeding. And the history of the street. “It did help us to get to know the stories of our neighbors,” Rachel says, smiling, “and the people who lived in our house.” When The Bench had its new coat, Rachel added two burnt orange cushions she’d bought for a couple of dollars at a garage sale. Adrienne Miner, who moved into the cul-de-sac with her family 10 years ago, was glad to see the fresh look. She’d often wondered about The Bench. “I’ve looked at it and contemplated it over the years,” says Adrienne, who has two young sons. “I was happy to see when Rachel and Matt painted it and put some pillows on it and made it look more inviting and not so lonely and desolate. … It made it look as important as it probably is.” Any afternoon or evening this summer, more often than not, would find Rachel — or Rachel and Matt — on The Bench watching Natalie and Andrew play. Little by little, as other children would filter into the cul-de-sac, their parents and some of us old-timers, too, would come, gravitating toward The Bench, sitting on the sidewalk or standing nearby.

“When it has one person out there,” Adrienne says of The Bench, “it tends to collect other people.” The conversations are busy — about the children and their challenges and successes. School. Home improvements. Work. Life. “Just catching up,” Adrienne says, “and connecting.” Even the children have bonded with The Bench. The neighborhood girls, lately into trading rocks, store their favorites in the nook under the seat. It’s become their trading post. Kelli recently drove down the old street and happily noticed the rejuvenated bench. “It’s kind of like handing down a favorite piece of furniture,” she says. “You never know what’s going to happen. But 18 years later, it’s still being used for what we put it out there for … It’s great.” Already, the hint of cooler weather is slowing down life at The Bench. Soon, Rachel will take in the pillows so they look good for next year. And I will glance out the window to see who’s there, to find it, sadly, empty. But this time, it will only be for a little while. The Bench and its magic, I think, will be back next year.

Chatfield group moves to stop Sterling Ranch Birth

Homeowners file second appeal against development By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com

Finley Rae White Danny and Susann White of Castle Rock wish to announce the birth of their daughter, Finley Rae White born July 22nd in Denver. She weighed 8lbs 2 oz and measured 20.5 inches. She is the granddaughter of Paul and Barb White of Byers and Bill and Leah Price of Flagler. Finley has 3 older sisters:Hailey, Caylin, and Alena.

After temporarily halting the Sterling Ranch development once already, the Chatfield Community Association has filed yet another legal challenge against the development’s approval, asking the district court in Douglas County to once again review the county commissioners’ July decision to approve the development. The homeowners’ group — filing the appeal under Rule 106, which allows for groups to challenge a governing body’s ruling on a development — has stated that the county commissioners demonstrated an “abuse of discretion” and “acted outside their jurisdiction and authority” by approving the development on July 10. The suit, similar to the 2011 challenge, argues that Sterling Ranch still does not have an adequate water supply to move forward with its development and also states that the commissioners acted on an application that was not pending, but closed, when they approved it ear-

lier this summer. According to County Attorney Lance Ingalls, there is a difference in how the Chatfield group read Judge Paul King’s order and how the county interpreted it. “Judge King said specifically that it was within the discretion of the county what to do next,” Ingalls said. “The county feels it has been in compliance all along.” After King determined in 2012 that the development had not demonstrated an adequate water supply in its 2011 application, the county commissioners lobbied the state legislature to pass SB-258, which clarified what they believed to be true already that a developer doesn’t have to show water adequacy for an entire development up front, but that the developer can demonstrate it in phases throughout the process. This irked the Chatfield group, which stated in its recent filing that the commissioners, by “engaging a paid lobbyist to enact legislative changes intended to aid the applicant,” have acted in a biased manner. “We pursued those changes because at the end of the day we have many applications in addition to Sterling Ranch and we simply need to know what our legal requirements are for mak-

66-year-old man’s death near Sedalia ruled accidental By Virginia Grantier

ing these determinations,” Ingalls said. “We did not do so at the request of Sterling Ranch and we stand by the clarifications we got. “It is mandatory that a local government determines an adequate water supply before the build-out of a project, but local governments have the discretion as to when to make that determination.” And while the county still has not ruled whether Sterling Ranch has an adequate water supply to proceed with the first phase of its development, that application is expected to be filed soon when Sterling Ranch submits its sketch plan to the county. The sketch plan, which will be followed by a preliminary plat filing and a final plat filing, is the first of three hoops Sterling Ranch needs to jump through before breaking ground, something the developer hopes to do later this year. “I don’t see there being any legitimacy to the complaint,” said Sterling Ranch attorney Wayne Foreman. “It challenges a process that was exhausted.” Numerous attempts to reach Chatfield attorney James Kreutz and homeowner’s association vice president Dennis Larratt were unsuccessful at press time.

A Sedalia house-fire victim has been identified through DNA analysis as Henry Schendera, 66, of Sedalia, and the cause of death was determined to be carbon monoxide toxicity and the death was accidental, Douglas County Coroner Lora Thomas stated in a Sept. 11 email. Schendera’s body was found after an earlymorning Aug. 6 fire that leveled the home, but a positive identification was not made until recently, Thomas said. A neighbor who is a volunteer firefighter reported the fire about 5 a.m. after that neighbor and oth-

ers smelled smoke and went “to check it out,” Becky O’Guinn, South Metro Fire District spokeswoman, said at the time of the blaze. Schendera’s home, located about a mile up a one-lane dirt road off Highway 67, was difficult to access and water wasn’t available. Water tankers were used to transport water from the Woodbine Ecology Center, which is about 1½ miles away from the home, as well as transporting water from other locations, was her understanding, O’Guinn said. “The Douglas County Coroner’s Office would like to thank the Griffith, Ind., Police Department and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation for their assistance in determining through DNA analysis the identity of the fire victim,” Thomas said. Thomas explained the Griffith Police Department was able to obtain a DNA sample from a Schendera relative in Indiana, the results of which enabled Thomas to positively identify the victim.

Gun-rights backers drive point home Two recall elections show which side had more passion By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com The message that was sent by Pueblo and Colorado Springs voters who turned out to defeat two Democratic state lawmakers in separate recall elections was clear: Don’t mess with our guns. There’s no question which side of the gun-control debate was more energized when the votes were cast Sept. 10. The day marked the defeats of Senate President John Morse and Sen. Angela Giron, in historic recall elections that were spurred by their votes on bills aimed at tougher guncontrol laws. “I think we simply did not realize the extent to which those who support less firearm regulation... were motivated to get to the polls,” said Bob Loevy, a political scientist at Colorado College. “Those who opposed less firearm regulation felt more strongly than those seeking more firearm regulation.” Morse, of Colorado Springs, lost his Senate District 11 seat by 255 votes, in an election that drew about 18,000 voters. Morse’s race was close; Giron’s wasn’t. The Pueblo lawmaker lost by more than 4,000 votes, from more than 34,000 that were cast in the Senate District 3 election. “Giron being recalled in a safe Democratic seat — I’ll say the word, shocking,” said Loevy. “I think the size of her defeat and the fact that the president of the Colorado Senate — somebody who has served in that body for seven years, who is widely respected in the state — sends a powerful message.” State Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, said Morse has only himself to blame for the election loss, for insisting on pursuing “citizen-control” gun bills. “I am relieved to see that voters across the political spectrum stood up for their

File photo constitutional rights,” said Holbert. “We are elected to represent the people, not to negotiate with those rights. I hope that members of the other party, those who voted for the bills, will think about that.” But Democrats — while they certainly are disappointed with the election results — say it’s important to keep the results in perspective, considering that the elections were decided by a small percentage of Colorado voters. “This was a very small number of voters that turned out,” said state Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood. “They were very passionate, but a small sliver of the total population of each district.” But Loevy doesn’t think it’s possible for

the results to be overstated, arguing that the results — which received national attention — could cause Democrats everywhere to think twice about the future pursuit of guncontrol laws. “Each district makes up only 3 percent of the electorate in Colorado, but this election will have a tremendous impact in the state and beyond its boundaries,” he said.

Tough votes for some Dems

Democrats probably didn’t know at the time that gun-control bills that were being passed during this year’s legislative session would result in first-of-their-kind recall elections. But they knew that the legislation had the potential of putting some Demo-

crats in a tough spot with voters down the road. Sen. Cheri Jahn, D-Wheat Ridge, voted for bills that instituted universal background checks on gun sales in the state, but voted against another bill that bans ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds. And Jahn nearly had to make tough votes on bills that died before making it to the Senate floor: legislation that would have banned the carrying of concealed guns on college campuses, and another bill, sponsored by Morse, that would have placed strict liability on gun owners and manufacturers whose weapons were used in crimes. “I think it was too much on that issue,” Jahn said of gun-control efforts. “Strict liability was way too far-reaching for me. You have to look at ramifications and consequences. I do believe that some of them were not good pieces of legislation.” Kerr voted for the limit on ammunition magazines and universal background checks, but voted against a separate bill that requires people to pay for their own background checks. And Kerr said he was the reason why Morse didn’t bring the liability bill to the Senate floor. “I went to him and said to him I couldn’t support it,” Kerr said. “I ended up being the swing vote, causing that bill to not be brought up for a vote. He needed 18 votes and he had 17 without me.” But Kerr backs the votes he cast in support of bills that toughen gun laws and said he’s not concerned about the potential effect that the recall elections could have on future gun-control legislation, both here and nationally. Nor is he worried about backlash from voters in his own swing district. “It’s like anything else in life; if you do it from a place of fear, you won’t do a very good job,” Kerr said. “Any one vote or series of votes that cost any of us our political careers, I think it’s worth it. It’s worth standing up and doing the right thing.”

Think tank helps fund school-board backers Money comes into play as election approaches By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com DougCo Champions for Kids, a proDouglas County School Board community group, is getting financial help from the high-profile Independence Institute think tank in the lead-up to the November elections. DougCo Champions for Kids describes itself as “a group of parents, educators, business people, and taxpayers who want to share the news about what’s really going on in DougCo K-12 education.” The conservative Independence Institute “agreed to help us cover some minor expenses,” said Franceen Thompson, a volunteer with the group. DougCo Champions for Kids is registered with the Colorado Secretary of State as an unincorporated nonprofit association. Its registered agent is Mike Krause, the Independence Institute’s vice president of operations. “I’m the registered agent (but) I’ve had very little to do with the operations,” Krause said in late August, and then said he would ask the staff member who “runs DougCo Champs for Kids” to call Colorado Community Media to answer specific questions. The call was not returned. The Denver-based Independence Institute is a libertarian think tank currently

rallying against the state’s gun-control laws. It also promotes educational vouchers and charter schools. In April 2013, it conducted a phone survey on DCSD issues that some recipients characterized as slanted in favor of the district and against the teachers’ union. Thompson, also a district captain with the Douglas County Republicans, at first said she didn’t know the details about DougCo Champions’ funding, but later acknowledged the connection to the Independence Institute. Thompson has not responded to a follow-up request for clarification.

Thompson said some community members who support the current board’s reform policies became concerned last February about the distribution of fliers “spreading misinformation about what was

happening in the school district.” “We did not have the funds to compete and decided to reach out (to) other organizations that might be willing to help our grassroots effort and counter the misinformation … regarding our school district and the reforms our district put into place,” Thompson wrote in an email. “We reached out to the Independence Institute and asked if they would be willing to help us out. We are grateful to the Independence Institute for helping to organize a grassroots effort to get our message to the community.” Thompson, who supports DCSD’s voucher and new pay-for-performance programs, said she is not paid for her time. “I put in a ton of hours,” she said. “That tells you how much I believe in what this organization is doing. I don’t care where the funding comes from.” DougCo Champions has hosted community forums at which current board members have attempted to address community concerns. The organization’s name is on pro-board fliers recently distributed at school events, including a Sept. 6 football game at Douglas County Stadium in Castle Rock. School board vice president Kevin Larsen said DougCo Champions is not affiliated with the board or district. “The district has to stay out of the political race,” he said. “Whatever any of those other advocacy groups are doing, they’re doing on their own accord.” Larsen said he and board member Meghann Silverthorn appeared by invitation at a DougCo Champions community meeting. “Our showing up at any of those events is simply through accepting an invitation to engage,” he said. “If Taxpayers for Public Education had invited us to be at an event where they wanted to meet the board and ask questions, we would go. We’ve never received any such invitation.” Taxpayers for Public Education is a

Additionally, Monument-based political consultant Chad Yelinski has identified himself on LinkedIn as a campaign manager for DougCo Champions starting in May 2013. He also lists “Douglas County School Board campaign” as a project that includes coordinating “grassroots effort to help educate citizens in Douglas County on the key issues going on for school reform. Paving the way for advocacy and education.” Yelinski, who did not respond to multiple attempts to speak with him, describes his role with the DougCo Champions’ campaign on his LinkedIn profile as “gathering data through the use of a precise grassroots strategy to reach a very target group of voters,” working to organize and educate Douglas County citizen groups, building a volunteer base and writing a development plan. Yelinski’s LinkedIn profile, on the morning of Sept. 12, said he was working as a “political operative” for a company he lists as C3 Political Consulting LLC, where he “organized events and grassroots for DougCo Champs 4 Kids.” Yelinski recently moved to Washington, D.C. for an internship with the Heritage Foundation, a think tank whose mission is “to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense.” The LinkedIn profile was changed on the afternoon of Sept. 12 after Colorado Community Media contacted the Heritage Foundation to verify Yelinski’s activities. The post of “political operative” working with DougCo Champions for Kids, which had been listed as a current job along with his Heritage Foundation internship, was changed to a past job. His “campaign manager” description, which had been listed as continuing into September, has been revised to indicate that it has ended. Yelinski’s other work experience includes a paid internship with EIS Solutions. That firm was a 2011 campaign consultant for Douglas County Citizens for Education Reform, which backed two ultimately unsuccessful school district tax-hike proposals. He also served a 2012 internship with the Starboard Group, which helped coordinate a June 2013 Douglas County Educational Foundation luncheon that drew protesters questioning Starboard’s work with conservative political candidates and groups.

The board’s ultimate goal is construction of a free-standing, K-12 campus, ideally on a vacant 7-acre parcel adjacent to the Wildcat Reserve Parkway church. But there’s no rush to bring that dream to fruition. “My desire is to do what we are doing and do it well rather than take on something new and do it half well,” said headmaster Steve Marshall, who recently joined the Arma Dei staff. The school’s course of study emphasizes biblical teachings. Arma Dei students learn Latin and study math, science, history and classical literature, among other subjects. Until and unless Arma Dei adds a high school level, its graduates will attend Valor Christian or public high schools. “Our desire is to make sure they are equipped to handle the rigors or high school and be successful,” Marshall said. The construction will be paid for with private donations, Vigil said. Arma Dei Academy plans an open house from 6 to 7 p.m. Sept. 24. Child care will be provided.

Three Douglas County School District high schools appear on 5280 magazine’s list of best Front Range public high schools. Highlands Ranch, Mountain Vista and Rock Canyon high schools made The Dean’s List, which based the rankings on data included in the Colorado Growth Model. Evaluations were based on each school’s proficiency in math, reading and writing, and how well it helps its students meet or exceed expected skill levels. 5280 didn’t rank the 23 schools, but listed them in alphabetical order with corresponding data in its September edition. “I’m proud but not surprised,” said Dan McMinimee, DCSD’s assistant superintendent of secondary education. “It’s nice to be named on these lists, but we know all of our high schools do a great job. I’m proud of the performance at every one of our schools.” 5280 touted Highlands Ranch for its “award-winning yearbook and newspaper

programs to robust performance and fine arts offerings to athletics” and a Post Graduate Center “dedicated to helping seniors through the college application process …” Mountain Vista was singled out for the fact that “more than 60 percent of teachers boast a master’s degree or higher,” according to 5280. The magazine also noted its acclaimed theater program, and successful traditional and unified athletics programs. Rock Canyon earned praise for the 85-percent-plus student participation rate in clubs and sports and challenging coursework. “The school sends nearly 90 percent of graduates on to college and has received recognition at the state and national level for community service projects,” according to 5280. Some of the other Front Range high schools on 5280’s 2013 list include Arapahoe, Cherry Creek, Conifer, East, Jefferson Charter Academy and Monarch. Published as the 20 best high schools in the Front Range, 5280 edited the online version of the article to add the three Douglas County schools. They called the omission a regrettable oversight. “Three DCSD schools more than met the criteria for inclusion on our list of Denver metro’s top public high schools and join the list here,” the online version reads.

opinions / yours and ours

Planning, packing are pivotal to preparedness Fire is far from our minds with last week’s rains. But we just left a summer with the worst fire in Colorado history. The Black Forest Fire took down nearly 500 homes, and the state required federal disaster aid. At the same time, the state was dotted with lesser blazes, including the Lime Gulch and Royal Gorge fires. The number of evacuations was dwarfed by the news of the number of homes lost, but it was a big hurt to many other people, their health, pets and livelihoods. And now — after what had been a relatively calm start to the month — we suddenly experience flooding and rainfall enough to have caused several deaths. So

our view it’s not difficult to be mindful of Emergency Preparedness Month in September — the FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) initiative started in 2004 that involves a few simple projects. First develop an emergency plan. It’s easy. • Decide a group meeting place in case of emergency or disaster. Choose one near home and one farther away. • Identify an emergency contact person

and assign responsibilities to each family or group member. • Make some decisions about where your family should go if forced to leave the area. And make plans for the pets. Second, assemble the supplies you will need. And group everything together in a kit. Here’s a recommended list from FEMA. • Battery powered or crank radio • Weather alert radio • Extra batteries • First aid kit • Sanitary napkins • Dust mask • Water for drinking and sanitation • Water purification tablets

• Waterproof matches and a butane lighter • Crank flashlight • Plastic sheeting • Non-perishable food for at least three days • Disinfectants and medications • Medical information for entire family, including instructions about medications and health history information. We never know when Mother Nature or a man-made disaster will make us all shake in our boots. So it’s not a bad idea to go through the steps of being prepared for disaster. We hope the exercise simply amounts to an educational experience. On to fall and winter.

How time flies … What’s your favorite or slows, or reverses thing about fall? question of the week

As summer officially ends and fall begins, we asked several people in the High-

lands Ranch Town Center what they like best about the season.

“The weather, the clothes, the heartier, more savory food, Thanksgiving, rain and snow. And then, of course, the leaves changing color.” — Kaitlin Clark, Denver

“Football and Thanksgiving.” — Thiago Harvey, Denver

“Cooler weather and the changing of the leaves. But the snow can stay in the mountains.” — Jackie Walsh, Highlands Ranch

“The leaves changing. But football first.” — Kenneth Harvey, Denver

letters to the editor Censoring artwork was wrong

After the recent actions of our town’s leadership regarding a small piece of art symbolizing climate change, and the subsequent placing of a religious plaque in our town hall, I could only ascertain that a large, but quiet, citizenry wasn’t considered. There are those of us who place science alongside faith, and understand the dire consequences of human activity resulting in global warming. Mayor Paul Donahue and town council’s removal of a beautiful sculpture of a melting world was disturbing. Placing a plaque afterwards, stating “In God We Trust” was inappropriate. Denying scientific knowledge of the harm we are causing God’s very Creation, through the buildup of carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels, then stating we are trusting in that Omnipotent Being seems counterintuitive. Even more disturbing was the insinuation in a recent letter to the editor, that those of us who appreciate powerful art, along with upholding separation of church and state, lack faith. I must inform our town leaders and letter writer Noah Stephenson, that many of us understand our integral connection to the greater world outside of our small community. We live our faith by combining it with scientific reason; that mere words displayed on a wall can never take the place of loving God through actions that protect His creation. Faith doesn’t fear science, or our First Amendment protection of topics that are relevant. To remove a sculpture that speaks volumes, silently, in what is scientific fact among climate scientists, is alarming. For those who are nonsectarian: They have every right to be concerned about religious statements in public buildings, and preservation of art, without harsh judgment and divisiveness. Science and religion aren’t mutually exclusive. Art is the aesthetic messenger. When art is censored, we forfeit the very

endless possibilities of seeking understanding and real accomplishments as a global member of a much greater world outside of our small borders. Amy Greenberg Castle Rock

Forum blatantly one-sided

In response to “Despite candidate conflicts, DCSD forum is a go”: Despite his position as the Douglas County GOP District Captain, David DiCarlo could at least attempt to appear impartial in his role as Douglas County School District Accountability Committee chairman. In the video of the Aug. 13 DAC meeting, Mr. DiCarlo said of his efforts to reach possible school board candidates about a candidate forum, “I just started today, so I’ve reached out to six. As I hear back, I’ll email the rest of the DAC with potential dates, potential places.” Surely if Mr. DiCarlo was able to contact six potential candidates in one day, he could have found the time to contact the other six that were registered at that date, sometime in the next day or two. Instead, he waited three weeks, until Sept. 2, to inform the other candidates of a set date, with no similar opportunity to weigh in on “potential dates, potential places.” I must question Mr. DiCarlo’s integrity when he then states, “all candidates were given the exact same notice.” Furthermore, his excuse of “availability of the venue” is simply ludicrous as there were only eight days in September and October that the Douglas County High School auditorium was booked as of Sept. 9. Conveniently, the candidates he contacted on Sept. 2 just happen to be those he opposes, while the GOP-endorsed candidates remarkably could attend. This Letters continues on Page 9

I have attended football games all over the place. Lincoln, Norman, Ann Arbor, Pasadena, Berkeley, Palo Alto, Tempe. None of them ended in slow motion. I have attended Major League Baseball games in at least five states, and none of the games ended in slow motion. But every time I watch a football or baseball movie, it ends in slow motion. Is it a requisite? “Must end in slow motion.” Maybe the director has to stretch the movie out because it didn’t take up enough time. That must be it. He’s got 10 minutes to go, and he doesn’t have 10 minutes worth of action and dialogue. I know better about slow motion. It is used to add drama to drama. I don’t think I have ever seen a football or baseball movie end in real time. Or basketball. Have you seen “Hoosiers”? Jimmy Chitwood goes up ... up ... up. It takes 20 seconds and there are only three seconds left in the game. Directors can manipulate time all over the place. There are flashbacks and flashforwards. Some movies have both, so you have to pay attention. “Back to the Future” starts in 1985, goes back to 1955, and returns to 1985, after Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) tinkers with events. I like Fox. He is going to star in a new television series. He’s an inspiration. There is film that was famously shot in nearly real time. It’s “High Noon,” starring Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly. I look at clocks in movies. Most of the time they don’t change during a scene. In “High Noon,” clocks are shown throughout the movie, and they are all ticking down the minutes until the bad guy, Frank Miller,

gets off the train and comes gunning for Will Kane (Cooper). It takes place in Hadleyville, in the New Mexico Territory. The film is #27 on the American Film Institute’s list of great films. Some movies start way in the past. They are called period films. I am not crazy about period films, like “Pride and Prejudice.” Mr. Darcy doesn’t do much for me. Most period films are humorless. There has to be a little humor, doesn’t there? Not always. There weren’t a lot of oneliners in “Schlinder’s List.” A film came out in 1968 that was set in 2001, “A Space Odyssey,” and it seemed very futuristic. We hadn’t even been to the moon yet. Now 2001 has come and gone. Sometimes time plays tricks on us. It takes forever to wait 15 minutes in line at the pharmacy or on hold on the phone, but 15 minutes goes by much too fast when you are with the one you love.

Short-term thinking blurs big-picture vision The need for instant gratification has truly compromised our ability to see beyond what is immediately in front of us. I mean in some cases we can’t even see the next three hours that are directly in front of us let alone three weeks, three months, or three years down the road. Short-term thinkers limit themselves to what they can have or achieve today instead of seeing the much bigger potential of tomorrow. And whether tomorrow comes in a day, in a month, or over several years … tomorrow will eventually come. Near-term thinking or seeking is driven by an attitude of impatience. Big-picture visioning and pursuing is driven by a goalsoriented and results-focused attitude. The student will make a decision to blow off a

Claims about schools are rubbish

Regarding the Rev. Frank R. Morris’ guest column of Sept. 5: Rubbish. The existing board runs the school district according to capitalistic theory? Rubbish. If so then when do I get a dividend in the form of reduced taxes? The board runs it according to Dr. Friedman’s economic theories? Rubbish. If so, where are the universal vouchers? As a result teachers are no longer respected profes-

homework assignment today in exchange for a good time tonight. The unemployed person will stop sending resumes and applying for the position they truly want because they were not offered a job today. The person seeking to lose weight or improve their physical fitness will avoid the

sionals and ... become classroom supervisors? Rubbish. Supervisors aren’t respected professionals? Teachers are no longer professionals or is it they are no longer respected? One can’t tell from your sentence. Of course neither is true as anyone who watches board and teacher interaction can easily tell. Or spent any time talking to or listening to board members (Disagreeing is not disrespect.) In the business world one does not allow non-business people to tell them how to manage? Rubbish. I am hard-pressed to identify any segment of society that is more open to input regardless of source. Think about it, the business world welcomes input from academia, from the consumer, from regulators, from philosophy, from theology, and, in the United States at least, from foreign cultures. This school board is replacing a mid20th-century educational model with one that puts the consumer in charge by allowing the parent to choose between a traditional model, a charter school model, a private school model, an online model and a home school model. That is true reform and an increase in individual liberty. Michael Wallace Highlands Ranch

gym because the pounds are coming off too slowly or their endurance or strength is not improving rapidly enough. There are countless scenarios where the shortcut and partial success are rationalized by the acceptance of fractional achievement of what we really desire. So what do we do about this instant gratification epidemic? The first thing we need to do is to adopt an attitude of patience and big-picture visioning. The second thing we need to do is to identify our goals. And as a best practice, categorize each goal into one of three buckets: near term, mid-range, and longterm. The first time that we go through this exercise we will probably notice that one of the buckets is filled with more goals than

June 10, 1925 - September 8, 2013

Cary, 88 of Castle Rock passed away into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior at the Life Care Center of Stonegate in Parker, CO after a lengthy illness. She is survived by her husband Robert (Bob) Kolbe of Castle Rock, 5 daughters, Jean Zimmerman & Judy Crenshaw both of Castle Rock, Lynn Englen of Warwick, MA., Roxanne Geerdes of Franktown, and Susan Reimann of Aurora. Cary was preceded in death by two sisters, Mildred Wheeler and Darlene Jones, two brothers, Donald Berner and Jim Berner and survived by one sister Lorna Wray of Grimes, IA. She was also preceded in death by two son-in-laws, Phil Englen of Myrtle, MO and Kenny Zimmerman of Castle Rock. Cary is survived by a host of loving family, 15 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren. She was born in Rockwell City, IA to Edward Theodore Berner and Ethel (Evelyn) Wharton Berner. Bob and Cary married July 9, 1945 and celebrated their 68th anniversary this year. They moved from Iowa to Castle Rock in 1961 with 5 girls and were very committed to the community of 1,500 people. Cary worked at the Illinois Central Rail Road as a Depot Agent in Iowa, and later in Castle Rock for the Mountain Bell Telephone Company as a receptionist. She kept her slim figure by walking to the telephone company up and down grade school

hill morning, noon and night. Her neighbors could set their clock to the slam of the screen door as Cary left exactly 5 minutes before her shift each day. Bob and Cary started Kolbe Construction in 1961 where they worked together to create a successful custom home building business and in the 80’s started Kolbe Striping. Cary carried an 18 handicap in golf, out drove Bob on a regular basis, made 2 hole in 1’s, loved to win women’s golf tournaments and traveled extensively golfing at the Potato Pickers Tournaments. Their second home in Green Valley, Arizona was their golf haven for 25 years. Cary was a woman of many talents. She loved to sew, made most of her 5 girls clothing as they grew up, created quilts for of her children and grandchildren including a stunning, one of a kind “hankie quilt” made from her mother’s handkerchiefs. She created 3 wedding dresses starting with her sister Lorna and daughters Susan and Roxy. She also loved to cook and throw parties with the finest dishes

and linen. Her Banana Cream Pies were made from scratch and melted in your mouth. Antiques were another passion of hers as she opened an antique store across from the Reyn Rock apartments on Perry Street. She could never bring herself to sell the beautiful antiques she purchased for the store as she loved every one of them. She also loved fine clothing, See’s Candy, but most of all, spending time with her family. Her great grandson spent his time on weekends teaching her games on his Dad’s iPhone… little did he know she didn’t pay any attention, but focused more on holding him tight. She gave the same treatment to each of her grandchildren and great grandchildren – loving them unconditionally. One favorite memory of hers was teaching her daughters how to sing in harmony to “the Old Rugged Cross”. She was a member of the Mt. Zion Lutheran Church from the day they arrived to Castle Rock in 1961 and was a life time member of the Republican Party. Cary was the greatest Mom ever and was a proud, strong, loving woman who will be forever missed. The memorial service and interment is Sept. 19 at the Mt. Zion Lutheran Church at 10:30 a.m. In Lieu of flowers, contribution’s may be made to the Mt. Zion Lutheran Church Building fund, 750 Cantril St., Castle Rock, CO 80104

Teacher team runs 200-mile race Castle Rock group says event links them to outdoor ed students By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Teachers at Castle Rock’s Renaissance Expeditionary Learning Outward Bound School regularly expose their students to outdoor experiences designed to challenge and enlighten. On Sept. 6 and 7, a dozen of them led by example. The team completed the 200-mile, overnight Ragnar Relay Series from Copper Mountain to Snowmass. The series, held in locations across the country, involves teams of six to 12 who run in shifts. Each participant runs three times at varying distances and terrain. “As teacher and educators, we are walking away with so much more knowledge and understanding for kids, especially as we get ready to send them out on these adventure ed programs,” teacher Lindsey Burris said. “It definitely has given us new eyes to look at our kids through. We were in that vulnerable place they are.” Lauren Gunn, a non-runner when she agreed to be part of the team, agrees. “We walk the path, and try and do the same things (our students) do,” she said.

“Even if we’re not runners, we’re not letting fear stop us.” Students at the K-6 school participate in outdoor education adventures twice a year. Teachers said the overnight odyssey gives them an experience to draw from when asking students to rise to a challenge. “I can say, `I want you to push yourself to the point you are stepping out and taking a risk. It’s OK to fail because you have people around you that will support you,’ ” Burris said. That support from their fellow teachers during the 200-mile run was vital, the participants said. As one teammate ran, the others drove the course in a van looking for their fellow runner, then stopped to cheer that person on. “In the middle of the night, I was getting delusional I was so tired,” Gunn said. “But when you felt like there was nothing left, suddenly you would see your van pulled over and there they were — all cheering.” The support expanded to include teacher Hanni Gilbert, who had to drop out of the race when she suffered a debilitating migraine the morning of the event. Teammates rallied to take her legs of the race, and ran with a T-shirt bearing her name. Students also urged their teachers on toward success before race day. “For me, having those encouraging words and the visualization of their little

School board member says work remains Benevento wants focus on finances, educational options By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com

Disagreements aside, Doug Benevento finds serving on the Douglas County School Board gratifying — so much so he’d like to do it another four years. “It’s rewarding when we’re at board meetings and you see wonderful kids and the things that they’ve accomplished, the wonderful teachers that have done great things,” he said. “It’s rewarding we’re putting more money in the classrooms, and we’re paying our best teachers more. “When we walked in, we were in the teeth of the recession. We worked as a team on the board to solve that challenge and solve it in a manner we felt was best for the mmer, district.” eseld Benevento, elected to the District E seat

in 2009, is one of four candidates endorsed by the Douglas County Republicans in this year’s election. An attorney for Xcel Energy, the Colorado native previously served as Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment director and U.S. Senator Wayne Allard’s senior policy adviser. His two daughters attend Platte River AcadBenevento emy charter school. Benevento credits fatherhood for his interest in public service. “I thought of (school board) as returning something to the community,” he said. Parenthood also has guided his decisions thus far, he said. “I believe parents are the best decisionmakers for their children,” Benevento said. “That was my theme four years ago and it’ll be my theme this year as well. “Each child is an individual and we need to provide as many choices and education-

al options for students as possible. Then we put them in the best position to succeed in education as possible.” Pleased as he is by the current board’s accomplishments, Benevento said more needs to be done. “I think we need to continue to look for efficiencies in the district to return more money to the classroom,” he said. “I think we need to look for that next increment of parental choice. How can we make sure that child can access the school that works best for them? “We need to continue to develop the pay-for-performance system, (one) that is going to attract the best and keep the best teachers.” While Benevento acknowledges dissension surrounding some board decisions, he said he hasn’t yet heard convincing arguments from opponents — particularly on the voucher program. “There seems to be obstacles to any increment of choice because that’s too much,” he said. “They’re not raising sub-

stantive arguments about what’s the matter with (the voucher program).” Plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the voucher program cited several concerns, including the use of public money by private schools. Benevento said he’s open to discussion if the focus is on the quantity of educational options — not eliminating choice altogether. “I would like everybody to be completely happy, but I think the vast majority are happy with the direction of the district,” he said. Objectively, if you look at how the district is performing, clearly we are moving in the right direction.” Benevento acknowledged his acceptance of campaign funds during the 2009 election from private-school and schoolchoice supporters, but said it hasn’t influenced his decisions. “I guarantee you there is not a significant supporter I know of that has come to the district for anything,” he said.

Among other efforts, Augilar helped organize the first “Celebrating Latinas Event” for Denver’s Latina Chamber — gathering more than 600 Latinas from across Colorado to celebrate achievements of local Latinas. She also serves as a committee member of Centro San Juan Diego’s Las Madrinas to benefit Bienestar Family Services, and for Denver Kids, an organization dedicated to helping Denver Public Schools students graduate.

James Geddes is no stranger to controversy. The District B candidate for the Douglas County School Board is a University of Colorado Regent who is pushing for change among the university’s staff and in the definition of discrimination. He believes the changes he seeks are coming, but said: “It’s been against some significant resistance.” The surgeon and Sedalia resident sees a lack of intellectual diversity among college professors, and hopes to help enact change. He also wants to ensure individuals’ expressions of political and philosophical beliefs are protected. Geddes introduced a pair of resolutions designed to address those issues in June. Geddes, who describes himself as “a pretty strong conservative,” said a preponderance of liberal professors doesn’t provide students with a well-rounded education. “Most of our universities across the country have become very leftist and the faculty is standing right together on a point of orientation,” he said. “We’re not providing the best possible educational environment for our kids, and that needs to change. “We need to actively bring in high-quality academics who are proponents of the other side of some of these issues. Students then are well equipped to choose where they stand on these issues. I quite frankly think the same thing should be occurring in our high schools and junior highs to a certain degree.” If elected to the school board, Geddes said he would encourage a similar philosophy. “I think it has to occur as an initiative of the actual faculty,” he said. “For me to step in and say we’re going to line up all the teachers in high school, figure out where they’re standing politically and start sorting

Historic building in race with time Some hope to rejuvenate first hotel in Castle Rock By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com To some passing by it might seem terribly out of place and a detriment, this leaning, paint-peeling two-story white frame building with deteriorating wood and cracked, broken windows — decades past any charm. And it’s in the midst of well-cared-for solid brick buildings, shops and eateries, courtyards and patio tables on Castle Rock’s Perry Street. But local historians and some longtime residents can see past the failing facade. And they are trying to do something, save it — Castle Rock’s oldest building, the circa-1872 City Hotel at 415 Perry St. — before it’s too late. If it’s not already. “It’s been neglected to the point that it would be a monumental job … The expense will be tremendous,” said Judy Hostetler, a real-property specialist in Castle Rock’s planning division and staff liaison to Castle Rock’s Historic Preservation Board. “But it’s one of our most important buildings,” Hostetler said in a phone interview. And so they are still trying — and there is a two-pronged effort underway: A historic preservation board committee is trying to get it on Colorado Preservation Inc.’s Endangered Places List; and a local designer and builder is sketching out plans, suggesting that it become the town’s arts center, with the front restored to look like it once did, but then adding space to the back of it for a theater, art gallery and class space. “Ultimately (the arts center) was my idea, but it’s the result of talking to many people about different ideas,” said Tim White, a Castle Rock resident since the 1970s and founder and president of White Construction Group. White, who has been involved in the design or building of various buildings in Castle Rock, such as town hall and the police and fire buildings, has a long interest in the arts and in historic restoration, and thinks the hotel — which is now being used as an apartment house — and its long history is worth the work. Bob Lowenberg, a retired Douglas County High School history teacher and author of “Castle Rock: A Grassroots History,” is a member of the historic preservation committee that recently submitted an application to place it on the endangered list. “How many (Colorado) hotels from that time period have been preserved?” Lowenberg asked. Very few, he said. Lowenberg said the building’s owner, Nick Hier, is supportive of the efforts. Colorado Preservation Inc. at its annual event in February will announce which properties will be placed on the year’s endangered list, said Rachel Parris, the nonprofit or-

How’s Our

Reputation?

Castle Rock’s first hotel, circa1872, has major deterioration from roof to foundation. Local historians and others are taking steps to try to save it. Photo by Virginia Grantier ganization’s program coordinator. She said the importance of the building to the community is key to getting on the list, and the fact that it’s the town’s oldest building is “amazing.” She said Colorado Preservation Inc., which operates through grants and donations, offers “a lot of outreach and advocacy” for buildings on the list, and also tries to increase public awareness of the building; writes and manages grants; connects partnerships; and provides technical expertise. She said of the 96 places already on the endangered list, only five, so far, have been lost to demolition. White has initial sketches for the arts center, which he would develop and then lease from Hier. He said the next step is to approach Castle Rock City Council to find out if there is interest in an arts center, which he envisions could include a 150-seat theater, intermission area and gallery. “There is a huge, huge trend to smaller venue places … rather than building large facilities,” White said. And he envisions there could be other uses including a “modified arts schools for kids, a charter school for the arts,” or kids could be bused from schools to attend classes there. In the historic preservation committee’s application to Colorado Preservation Inc., it’s explained that the hotel actually was built in 1872 in the town of New Memphis by English immigrant John Harris for his entrepreneurial brother Thomas Harris. New Memphis was located near

where Douglas County Robert A. Christensen Justice Center is now, at 4000 Justice Way, Castle Rock. But after Castle Rock was named county seat in 1874, New Memphis, which had the post office and various businesses, and had been vying for county seat status, began to die. Three years later, the hotel’s owner, Thomas Harris, decided to move the hotel, then called the Harris Hotel, to Castle Rock, which was accomplished by mule train. It was placed on its present Perry Street location, then a territorial road, and close to two major railroads. The hotel was used by people traveling between Denver and Colorado Springs and was a destination for some people from the East Coast who traveled to Colorado’s drier air seeking a cure for tuberculosis and other ailments. “At times, it was the only place where visitors could find immediate rooms straight off the train, or where families could live while searching for a home in the area,” according to the committee’s application. John Craig lived at the hotel for a time. Craig, who donated much of the land that is now Castle Rock and the money to build the county courthouse, also served in various roles including mayor, probate judge, justice of the peace, acting coroner and a state representative. Harris owned the hotel until an accident in which he was gored by a steer being driven through town and later died from his wounds and complications. The hotel has had a series of owners since his death.

Library provides blog for authors

To help new and aspiring authors navigate through traditional and self-

publishing, Douglas County Libraries has started a blog called “The Wire: A Writer’s Resource.” Articles and links on the site will help authors produce not just books, but good books, by helping connect them with writing coaches, copy editors, designers and other resources. DCL will also work with the community to recruit and provide volunteer reviewers for books submitted to the library through its publishing process. Jamie LaRue, director of Douglas County Libraries, said that by eliminating multiple steps from the publishing chain and providing avenues for vetting new content, the library can bring readers closer to authors, the source of new content. For more information, visit blogs. douglascountylibraries.org/thewire/.

Input wanted on Castle Rock’s future

Castle Rock’s residents are invited to add their ideas on a community survey located on the town’s website, which will be used as town staff and officials create an updated future plan for the town. Residents will be able to share their ideas about what they want the town’s future to look like with regard to additional development and community needs. Residents can complete a community preferences survey online anytime between now and Sept. 24 at crgov.com/vision2030. The town’s current plan is called Vision 2020. A draft of the new plan, Vision 2030, is expected to be released in October for public comment, following this process.

crime report Vandalism could sideline pool

Roxborough school damaged

Glass panels broken out of a display board sometime between 8 p.m. Aug. 30 and 10:52 a.m. Aug. 31 were thrown into a swimming pool and shattered, which may force the draining of the Cobblestone Ranch pool, according to a Castle Rock police report. Five juveniles, two girls and three boys, one standing on the clubhouse roof at 7846 Oasis Drive, were seen there the morning of Aug. 31, a witness told police. The initial damage estimate for the glass panels and a broken patio table, its legs still missing, totals about $900. There wasn’t an estimate yet for cleanup costs. The suspects left behind numerous cigarette butts in the non-smoking facility, a Chicago Bulls hat, a gray tank top, a yellow cigarette lighter and a pair of women’s sunglasses and a wooden survey stick that one of the juveniles “had been swinging around earlier when they were spotted,” according to the report. The case is being referred to investigations for follow-up.

Sometime over Labor Day weekend, Aug. 30-Sept. 3, an unknown suspect or suspects damaged more than $1,000 of playground equipment at Roxborough Primary School, located at 8000 Village Circle West in Roxborough. In addition to destroying a privately owned plastic soccer goal and shaving off the top of a mesh and plastic-coated table, the suspect or suspects drew pictures of male genitalia on playground equipment and on the sidewalks and etched obscenities into equipment.

Abandoned house damaged

Douglas County sheriff’s deputies responded to a long-abandoned house in the 500 block of Providence Drive in Castle Pines on Sept. 8 after it was reported that the back door of the house was open. When deputies arrived, it was noted that the window of the back sliding door was broken out and there were several broken windows throughout the house. It appeared the windows had been broken out by rocks or possibly a BB gun. A room on the main floor also had holes in the drywall.

Football game to spotlight heroes Event will honor military veterans, raise funds By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com A Douglas County High School coach has an unusual game plan for the Sept. 20 contest against Rocky Mountain High School. He wants to focus on honoring veterans. The plan: At the game, which kicks off at 7 p.m. at home, the Douglas County Huskies will hold their inaugural “Honoring Our Heroes Night.” Military veterans and active-duty personnel will get into the game free, and there will be various ceremonial moments and events at the coin toss and halftime. The coach, who wants to remain anonymous, came up with the idea after spending time thinking what the school could do to honor veterans. “This is the least we can do to recognize those who have done so much for us,” he said. “They will be honored guests and will be so honored at the halftime show.” The ceremonies will begin before the game with the U.S. Marine Corps Honor Guard from Denver’s recruiting district. Jim Sullivan, a Korean War veteran and former

Douglas County commissioner, will be involved in the coin toss, and members of the Wounded Warriors, an organization for veterans who have been injured in recent combat action, will help escort Sullivan to the field. At half-time, veterans and active duty personnel will be asked to join in the ceremonies on the field and Douglas County’s Marching Band will play a medley of military music. Douglas County’s football team captains will present a check for the entire gate receipts to a Korean War sailor, Henry Bohne, chairman of the Douglas County Veterans Monument Foundation, which is raising money for a veterans’ monument in Castle Rock. After that, Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge will present a check from the Miller Trust Fund to Heather Ehle, founder and executive director of Project Sanctuary, a Colorado-based charity that helps military families reconnect and reintegrate into their communities by providing therapeutic, curative, supportive and recreational activities. Maj. Gen. Andy Cooley, a Douglas County resident, will offer a prayer for the protection of those now serving, and the high school’s marching band will lead the audience in “God Bless America.”

Right: Harper’s first step was focus on the needs of digital natives. Above: Demonstrating the 4th “C”! Collaboration!

Mammoth Heights Teacher marries Innovation with Experience to create Primary Innovation Studio

Mammoth Heights Elementary students are learning in a new, innovative environment, thanks to the vision of second grade teacher Mary Lisa Harper, support from the Douglas County School District (DCSD) and a generous grant from the Morgridge Family Foundation. Harper spent the summer designing a classroom that incorporates new concepts in education. Integrating the latest research with her own 20 years of classroom experience, Harper built the Primary Innovation Studio. “I realize that we are moving in education. And to work in the same box that we have been working in for the past decades is just not going to work for today’s kid. We have to move forward and someone is going to have to give it a try,” Harper said. Harper’s first step was to focus on the needs of “digital native” students, those who have grown up with technology, though her classroom is not just about technology. “I think that the shift is more in the teacher than with the technology. I can have five iPads and be teaching with great 21st Century Skills and it could be a 21st Century classroom. We don’t need [a

lot of technology]. The big shift is within. It’s how you approach kids. How you understand that they’re a different breed right now when it comes to learning.”

“There is a space for all of the 4 C’s, that’s how I designed it,” Harper explained. “Creativity, there is the Maker’s

“The big shift is within. It’s how you approach kids. How you understand that they’re a different breed right now when it comes to learning.” — Mammoth Heights Elementary Teacher Mary Lisa Harper

Space. Communication—there is a stage where kids can meet in groups or if they so choose, they can collaborate and communicate with their peers. Critical Thinking—you see with white boards that are lower, with all the technology. And the Collaboration—it’s absolutely everywhere.”

According to Harper, students have a lot more flexibility within the room to find the right niche that supports their learning. This is a big departure from the picture of school most of us are used to – this is a classroom that is driven by student needs. “Certainly as primary teachers, we are used to guiding every single step of the way… that Victorian model is ingrained in us. I have the picture of my aunt in the classroom and she’s teaching. All the kids are sitting in rows. And she is the deliverer of all knowledge. It’s just not like that anymore,” Harper said. “I knew something had to change. My delivery had to start looking different because kids are changing,” Harper added. “Honestly, I was getting bored with the textbook teaching. I knew something was going to have to happen in my career in order to invigorate me to be my best for [the] kids.” Harper hopes that the lessons learned in the Primary Innovation Studio will help teachers at Mammoth Heights Elementary and across DCSD consider new ways to engage students.

Superintendent Dr. Liz Fagen announced plans to pass on $4.5 million in increased available resources to our classrooms in the form of average salary increases totaling $3 million and $1.5 million back to our schools in the form of Student Based Budgeting (SBB). “True to the way that we have budgeted over the past three years, we spend within our means so that we do not ever have to cut our budgets to get back within our reoccurring revenues. Then, when we realize additional one-time or ongoing monies, we immediately put those back into the classroom or our employees,” Fagen said.

Superintendent Fagen drafted a plan to send the money to Douglas County School District (DCSD) classrooms. The plan was unanimously approved by the DCSD Board of Education and also included an average one percent ongoing raise, differentiated for performance, for all DCSD licensed, classified and professional/technical staff, and administrators who were eligible to receive the Board-approved pay increases in May 2013. This is an additional average ongoing pay increase of one percent to the plan that was approved in May 2013. “This is once again a reflection of our vision, our philosophy and our commitment to use every dollar in the classroom, to reduce administrative costs, to use every conceivable dime that we can; to get it to the professionals,” said Board of Education Director Craig Richardson.

DCSD, Community Team to bring students home safely

The convoy

“Safety is a top priority at Douglas County School District and this is truly a shining example of the Douglas County community coming together. We’re thankful to everyone involved - including the families, students, teachers, principal, district leadership, bus drivers, operations team, the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, the YMCA of the Rockies, and the National Park Service - for all their help in getting our kids home safely.” — DCSD Superintendent Dr. Elizabeth Fagen

Last week, a group of 87 sixth graders and six adults were stranded at Estes Park due to the extreme weather. The Pine Grove Elementary (Parker, CO) students were attending a regularly scheduled outdoor education field trip at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park. Due to the extreme weather conditions, the group was not able to return home as scheduled.

The only major road into Estes Park was completely flooded and Trail Ridge Road was the only available alternative to exit Estes Park. Unfortunately, the high, mountain road is only open during the summer months. As DCSD monitored the forecast, it was apparent there was only a brief window of time on Friday when the rain would slow down and make a rescue possible. DCSD and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office contacted the National Park

Service to request that Trail Ridge Road be opened briefly in order to rescue students. Once given permission to enter the park, DCSD dispatched a convoy of 15 SUV’s, two small activity buses, and a service truck to pick up the students and staff. A Douglas County Sheriff’s deputy escorted the group the entire trip. The convoy left at approximately 2:40 p.m. on Friday. All the transportation professionals who were dispatched had trained specifically on Trail Ridge Road. “Throughout the entire process the safety of the staff and students was the primary concern of both the Pine Grove staff and District administration,” said DCSD Superintendent Dr. Elizabeth Fagen. “This was absolutely a team effort,” said Fagen. “The district leadership Continued on page 4

C2E Students hope to lift spirits, benefit Aurora theatre and Sandy Hook victims

Following the July 2012 Aurora theater and December 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary mass shootings, the students at Parker’s Challenge to Excellence Charter School say they experienced a wave of emotions. The sixth-grade students in Glenn Thompson’s class channeled those feelings into something tangible, the creation of a book filled with positive messages.

These Parker, Colorado, students wanted to find a way to reach out to all people and the families that have been affected by these senseless tragedies everywhere. This book is dedicated in particular to the victims and families of the Aurora, Colorado, movie theater shooting and to the victims and families of the Newtown, Connecticut, school shooting.

“Colorado: A New Perspective” includes 71 pages with messages of hope, photographs and drawings by Thompson’s students. After compiling the content, the students decided to publish their work, with the ultimate goal of sending proceeds and a few copies of their book to families of victims in both Aurora and Newtown.

We had our best drivers transporting students, our operations team coordinated the trip with the National Park Service and the YMCA of the Rockies; Nutrition Services quickly assembled food and snacks for students; Communications provided information to parents and support for Pine Grove staff; and, the Douglas County Sheriff provided leadership and an escort for the rescue convoy,” continued Fagen. In the interim, the Pine Grove Elementary group was evacuated from the YMCA of the Rockies to a general evacuation point near Estes Park and the convoy met them there. The group arrived home to roars of applause and cheering from overjoyed parents and staff just shy of 1 a.m. Saturday morning.

“Beverly Hills Cop” movie franchise actor and Fort Collins resident John Ashton is about as happy as it gets for someone who has chosen and endured a rather tortured profession. Ashton has ridden the Hollywood rollercoaster especially after finding fame in the Eddie Murphy vehicles “Beverly Hills Cop” and “Beverly Hills Cop II” playing the curmudgeonly Detective Sgt. John Taggart. Ashton, who retreated to a relatively quiet life in Fort Collins years ago because Hollywood felt like an ill-fitting suit, is back in the movie game with “Uncle John,” an independent film where he stars as the namesake character in this murder mystery set in Wisconsin and Chicago. The movie will likely travel to the Sundance Film Festival or, if luck is on their side, first to producer/director David Lynch, who worked with “Uncle John” writer and producer Erik Crary on the film “Inland Empire” in 1996. But Ashton, who earlier this week parted company with his agents, is most fired up about this movie, which he says has brought him back to his original journey to become an actor who does meaningful work. “It’s the best script I’ve read in years,” Ashton told me during a phone interview. “It’s something I’ve been begging my agents for me to do. I read the script and said, ‘Man, I’m on board.’ I don’t think I’m going to work for anybody over 40 anymore.” Like I said, Ashton plays the title character who is a level-headed guy who helps out his neighbors with fix-it jobs in rural Wisconsin. “He’s Uncle John,” Ashton said. “Everybody loves him. He fixes people’s water pipes and cabinet doors. The honesty of the character I loved.”

Linda Bjelland. Each pianist brings a distinct personal history and style to the joint concert, which is titled “The Global Piano Experience.” Downing, the great-granddaughter of a slave, who also boasts American Indian background, is a Colorado native who lives with her family in Ken Caryl. Her multi-ethnic history affects her own worldview and personal spirituality, coloring her composi-

tions and the stories they tell. She performs across the U.S. and internationally, has recorded three albums and has a fourth in production. She teaches in her home studio and has a talent agency called Vision Quest Entertainment. Julio Maziotti, a native of Mendoza, Argentina, brings a Latin influence, combining tango rhythms and traces of his Italian heritage. He too performs internationally — in Switzerland and Spain recently. Bob Baker, who comes from an Asian/ Irish background, is classically trained, and is influenced by many genres of American music: jazz, rock, gospel and more. He has performed with a wide variety of musicians and recorded at a various studios, including Northstar and Caribou in Colorado.

The Arapahoe Community College fine arts faculty has again invited professional colleagues from the community and other colleges to share its space in the handsome Colorado Gallery of the Arts. The resulting exhibit, “Arapahoe Community Fine Arts Faculty and Friends,” offers an engaging blend of art in individual styles ranging from precise traditional photography to abstract three-dimensional works, beautifully crafted ceramics and finely wrought jewelry. Brightly colored mobiles by Jon Koenigsberg catch the light as they hang from the ceiling, drawing the eye to a strong collection of ceramics displayed on pedestals in the gallery center, while walls hold a variouthety of carefully installed works, arranged by e andgallery curator Trish Sangelo. t. 28, Installing an exhibit like this is a chalscav-lenge, since there is no particular theme — she has to work with what is submitted and d thesome of it arrives late.

Kim Louise Glidden, Littleton potter, teacher and business owner, has injected humor into recent sculptural pieces such as “Still a Stiletto” and “Cradle to the Grave.” Her decorative “Tribal Pole” takes the viewer in another direction. Bob Baker, Jim Cooper and Peter and Susan Stark demonstrate a few of the myriad ways potters glaze and finish their handcrafted work, from Baker’s earthy glazes to the Starks’ multi-colored patterned pieces. Cooper has two intriguing pitchers and a huge olla with subtle glazes. A pair of graceful bronze sculptures, “Tango,” by Travis Ogden, lead the eye to the west wall where Marsh Wooley’s large oil on canvas landscape, “Gemini Bridges” dominates. To its left are a series of J.T. Urband’s interesting industrial graphite drawings. Centered on the east wall is Peter Illig’s pixelated portrait, “Blue Spark.” His website says: “My art works are all analogies for human evolutions and experiences — American psychological landscapes.” He has taught at Heritage and Chaparral High Schools and area colleges.

Hospital’s employment fair a success Children’s south campus gets ready for December opening By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com As Children’s Hospital Colorado prepares for the opening of its 175,000-squarefoot south campus in Highlands Ranch, nearly 500 people converged on Southridge Recreation Center with the hope of gaining employment at the new hospital. “We had people lined up an hour before we opened,” Children’s vice president Andrea Ferretti said of the Sept. 9 event in Highlands Ranch. “It’s been quite the successful fair.” The hospital intends to have 300 people employed in clinical and non-clinical positions when it opens in December, and according to staffing director Randy Williams, it has already done a great deal of hiring. In addition, about 40 percent of the staff at the new hospital will be made up by current employees who are transferring over from four area satellite clinics that will be shut down when the hospital opens, he said. Prior to the job fair, the hospital still had openings for 56 non-clinical positions as well as 55 clinical positions. According to

clinics to be consolidated The four existing Children’s Hospital Colorado clinics that will close in late 2013 and consolidate services into the Highlands Ranch South Campus when it opens include: • Children’s Hospital Colorado Outpatient Specialty Care, 7960 S. University Blvd., Centennial • Children’s Hospital Colorado Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, 7720 S. Broadway, Littleton • Children’s Hospital Colorado Orthopedic Care, 9094 E. Mineral Ave., Littleton • Children’s Hospital Colorado Outpatient Specialty and Therapy Care, 151 W. County Line Road, Littleton

Ferretti, there were no on-site interviews being conducted, but quite a few interviews were set during the four-hour fair, and more people who stopped by would likely be contacted for interviews after staff had an opportunity to review resumes. The hospital, located at the northwest corner of Lucent Boulevard and Plaza Drive in Highlands Ranch, expects to receive its certificate of occupancy at the end of October. Staff will begin training at the Aurora campus in October and are expected to move into the new site toward the end of November, with a grand opening set for Dec. 19.

Children’s Hospital Colorado is preparing to open its South Campus in Highlands Ranch this December. With just over 100 positions left to be filled, close to 500 job-seekers showed up Sept. 9 at Southridge Recreation Center for a job fair where prospective employees set up interviews on the spot. Photo by Ryan Boldrey According to Ferretti, the 22-bed urgent care, inpatient care and four operating rooms will open Dec. 19, and the specialty clinics will follow suit, opening Jan. 6.

Rural road deaths reflect limits on assistance Sparse services tied to high fatality rates By Kevin Vaughan

I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS A car swerves across the centerline and slams into you head-on in a sickening thud, a spray of glass, an exploding air bag. You’re alive, but you’re hurt and you need help — fast. Someone calls 911. Who comes to render aid, how much training and experience they have, and even how long it takes them to arrive will vary drastically, depending on where you are in Colorado. So will your chances of living or dying. That’s because in emergency medicine, minutes matter. And Colorado is a state with 82 percent of its 5.2 million people concentrated along the Front Range from Fort Collins to Pueblo. It’s also a state with vast sweeps of rural land, including three of the nation’s 15 least-populous counties. Those realities have spawned a patchwork emergency medical system where a wide disparity exists between the on-theground care you could expect along a rural highway and what you would see along the urban Front Range. It’s a state with dead zones, where no dedicated ambulance service exists. And it’s a state where many rural communities are fighting to maintain even a basic emergency medical service. “We struggle day in and day out,” said Sue Kern, the emergency medical system coordinator and coroner in Cheyenne County on Colorado’s eastern plains. She is also the director of nursing at Keefe Memorial Hospital in Cheyenne Wells, just 18 miles from the Kansas border.

Fewer people, higher risk

I-News examined 10 years of traffic fatality data, compiled by the Colorado Department of Transportation, and then compared it with the average population in each county over a decade — calculating a rate equal to the number of deaths per 10,000 residents in road crashes. The five counties with the highest rate of traffic fatalities — Mineral, Cheyenne, San Juan, Kiowa and Baca — are all small, remote counties, and four of them lost population in the first decade of the 21st century. Two of them are among the three Colorado counties with fewer than 1,000 residents. On the flip side, the five counties with the lowest rate of traffic deaths — Arapahoe, Boulder, Jefferson, Douglas and Denver — are in the highly populated Denver metro area. A new report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that 55 percent of those who died in road crashes in 2011 lost their lives in rural areas, while only 19 percent of the population lived in rural areas. In Colorado, 51 percent of those who died in 2011 crashes perished on rural roads, according to the same report. Part of this disparity is the result of geography. Part is the result of philosophy — emergency care is concentrated where the most people live. And part is an outgrowth of Colorado’s long history of “local control” — where local officials figure out how best to care for those who suffer life-threatening traumatic injuries.

Also, many rural areas are served by volunteers whose dedication is not in question but whose training and experience may pale compared to their urban counterparts.

Response time is crucial

“If you live in urban Colorado, the response is quick,” said Randy Kuykendall, interim director of the state’s emergency medical system. “If you live in rural Colorado, it’s longer, and it’s a day-to-day struggle.” Kuykendall acknowledged that no one from the state has tried to determine exactly which areas fall into an emergency ambulance no-man’s-land — places where there is no contracted ambulance service. As it stands now, neighboring agencies respond into those areas. But none of that matters when you’re injured. Minutes matter. “The `Golden Hour’ is a real thing,” said Dr. Gregory Jurkovich, chief of surgery at Denver Health Medical Center. “The concept is valid — you have a limited amount of time before you’ve lost your opportunity to save someone’s life.”

Get hit head-on Denver’s Federal Boulevard, and you can expect that an ambulance operated by Denver Health will arrive in a matter of minutes, two highly trained paramedics on board. Get hit head-on in Poudre Canyon west of Fort Collins, and it’s likely to be a very different experience. First, you have to find a phone in an area with no cell service, said Bill Sears, president of the board of the Poudre Canyon Fire Protection District. “In the lower part of the canyon, a couple of our volunteers work close, in the western part of Fort Collins, and they’re close enough that they can respond into the lower canyon in about — worst case is about half an hour,” Sears said. “If you’re bleeding to death, of course, that’s no consolation. But that’s the reality of being out in the boondocks.” The backbone of Colorado’s on-theground emergency medical system is a patchwork of ambulances operated by more than 225 individual organizations — cities, hospitals, ambulance districts, fire districts, private companies — and the emergency medical technicians and para-

medics who staff them.

Training levels differ sharply

Colorado is one of two states — California is the other — that leave it to counties to license ambulance providers. And while the work of all those different organizations is coordinated by the state through 11 regional councils, there is no statewide oversight of such benchmarks as mandated response times. Those seriously or critically injured are treated at a system of designated trauma centers, from Level 1, where the most grievously hurt are taken, to Level 5. But in one part of the system after another, there are dramatic differences between the available care in urban and rural areas. All three of the state’s existing Level 1 trauma centers are in the Denver area — Denver Health Medical Center, Swedish Medical Center and St. Anthony Hospital. And in much of rural Colorado, the

wounded are likely to be treated by volunteer emergency medical technicians, who have to leave homes or jobs, respond to the garage where the ambulance is parked, and then speed to an accident scene. Those EMTs — while highly dedicated — may initially have as little as 150 to 200 hours of training. Paramedics — such as those who staff all of the Denver Health emergency ambulances — have at least 1,500 hours of training. Privately operated medical helicopters exist, but they are largely clustered along the Front Range — and often they aren’t called until initial responders have gotten to a scene and assessed the injured. One area where the playing field has been leveled in recent years is equipment. Thanks to a $2 charge on each motor vehicle registration, the state has about $7.5 million a year to assist local jurisdictions as they need to update their equipment and train their members.

No requirement for service

At the same time, there is nothing in Colorado law that obligates anyone to provide emergency medical services. “We provide advanced life support ambulance service,” said Tim Rossette, deputy chief of the Kiowa Fire Protection District in Elbert County, “but if my board decides to stop providing that service, they can do that and there’s nobody that’s required to come in and fill that void.”

Volunteer firefighter and paramedic Matt Araki leads his horses “Cat” and “Cash” to the arena at the Squair Deal Riding Center as he waits for an emergency call Aug. 26 in Aspen Park. About 50 firefighters make up the all-volunteer Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District that averages one call per day in this 55-square-mile section of mountainous and heavily forested land in Jefferson County. Photo by I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS The dwindling population in many rural counties makes it more difficult for local organizations to raise money from a shrinking tax base or find volunteers willing to give up hours at a time for no pay. Dramatically changing Colorado’s system would probably require a major infusion of money — most likely through taxes or fees or a combination of the two. One state that has built such a system is Maryland. Motorists there pay $14.50 a year

in vehicle registration fees that are dedicated to the state’s emergency medical system. The fee generates roughly $55 million a year, and it funds a fleet of seven medical helicopters based around the state and operated by the state police. All operating expenses are covered by the vehicle registration fees, which also support the state’s EMS certification system and pay for a statewide medical communications system. According to the same fed-

eral report, 35 percent of those who died in auto crashes in Maryland in 2011 were on rural roads. But even people in the Colorado system question whether there’s value in dramatically increasing funding in rural areas for a relatively small number of calls. In southwestern Colorado’s Hinsdale County — where the Continental Divide crosses twice — EMS director Jerry Gray said people simply have to accept that emergency response in rural Colorado is very different from that in urban Colorado. “The reality of the situation is that up on Stony Pass you’re never going to get a response like you will in downtown Denver,” Gray said. “It’s just the nature of the beast, and people need to realize when they’re headed out into the area. People come here for the solitude and the remoteness of it, and that brings with it delayed response times.” Kuykendall, the acting state EMS chief, said that while little can be done to change geography, one thing that can change is the way people think about ambulances. Historically, ambulance services are paid when they transport a patient. Kuykendall said he’d like to see EMS funded the way police and fire protection are, “because what you’re really paying for with an ambulance or a fire truck is you’re paying for it to be ready to go when the public needs it, as opposed to only paying for it when it actually is in use.” I-News is the public service journalism arm of Rocky Mountain PBS.

A Meadows neighborhood resident did report a flooded yard and damaged landscaping. The town offered sand bags as a temporary protection, but the issue was referred to a Meadows’ homeowners association to deal with restoration of a diversion ditch. Sellars Gulch and East Plum Creek had minor flooding, it was reported Sept. 13,

but not enough to create road problems. Trail crossings are approaching full capacity and minor overtopping in some areas. Parks staff planned to close trails as needed. And town crews were watchful. At that point, more intense rain would have caused detention ponds to overtop the emergency spillway and cause flooding and debris in streets.

3-0 start: Huskies beat Bruins Douglas County uses all-around effort to defeat Cherry Creek By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Third-ranked Cherry Creek contained Douglas County’s heralded back Trey Smith but that’s about all the mistake-prone Bruins did right against the Huskies. Douglas County trailed 3-0 in the final minute of the second quarter but reeled off 23 unanswered points to upset the Bruins, 23-10, in an early-season showdown between unbeaten teams Sept. 16 at the Stutler Bowl in Greenwood Village. The game was originally scheduled for Sept. 12 but was postponed because the Cherry Creek school district canceled activities due to the heavy rains. “I was a little disappointed we didn’t get to play on Thursday,” said Huskies coach Jeff Ketron. “I thought we were ready, I thought our kids were focused. Then I saw something when we were practicing Friday. We brought them in Saturday at 6 o’clock

in the morning. It was foggy and we had to turn the lights on. I just saw something in this team that I haven’t seen.” He liked what he saw against Cherry Creek as Douglas County improved to 3-0 in the first of three games in 11 days. The Huskies play Rocky Mountain Sept. 20 and open Continental League play Sept. 26 against Mountain Vista. Smith, who came into the game averaging 293.5 all-purpose yards a game, gained 21 yards on 11 carries and scored once. He also caught one pass for six yards and had an interception. The Huskies had plenty of other players stand out, including junior defensive end Tomatea Barlett, whose parents are from New Zealand. He was in on six quarterback sacks and deflected a pass. Barlett, CJ Briggs and Devin Jackson were the leaders of a pass rush that kept heavy pressure on Creek quarterbacks Cameron Brucher and Nate Sweeney most of the game. Austin Newsome and Daniel Brown led the Huskies’ defense with 13 and 11 tackles. “He’s a rugby kid who took up football,” Ketron said of Barlett. “Our defensive line has some great speed. They are a little bit

light but those kids can motor. They’re just tough kids.” Creek’s two quarterbacks combined to pass for 209 yards but felt pressure on almost every attempt. “They had a good passing game and our DL knew to disrupt that we had to get pressure,” said Barlett. “Our coach says O lines and D lines win games. “The game was a highlight for me, I’ve never beaten Creek before, not even as a youth. Yeah, I’ll be talking about this for a long time. Just seeing the smiles on all the guy’s faces was one of the coolest things ever.” Cherry Creek, averaging 30.5 points in its first two games, and Douglas County, which averaged 45 points in two victories, struggled to a 3-3 halftime tie. A 29-yard field goal by Henry Lynn pushed Creek ahead 3-0 with 55 seconds left before halftime but the Huskies, behind the passing of quarterback Rope Ruel, drove to the Creek 19, where Wyatt Bryant missed a 34-yard field goal attempt. However, a roughing-the-kicker penalty was called on Creek, and Bryant connected on a 29-yard field goal on the final play of the half.

Cherry Creek, which outgained the Huskies 320-225 in total offense, had 13 penalties for 105 yards during the game. The Bruins also had three turnovers, which led to 13 Huskies points. Creek, behind the running of Milo Hall, who finished with 148 rushing on 23 carries, took the second half kickoff and moved to the Huskies 29-yard line but Brucker fumbled while scrambling for yardage. Newsome picked up the fumble and ran to the Creek 2-yard line. Smith scored on the next play and the momentum had switched to the visitors. Bryan hit on field goals of 31 and 44 yards and Ruel scored on a 30-yard run as Douglas County went ahead 23-3 before Creek scored a touchdown with 12 seconds left in the game. “When you look at Trey’s overall carries in games one and two, he only had 12 and 14 carries,” Ketron said of Smith, who has verbally committed to play at Colorado State. “We try to keep balance. We try to spread it out on offense and against Creek we had to depend on some other people. I knew we could do it.” Cherry Creek will try to rebound Sept. 20 on the road against Denver East.

tackling troubles take toll on Jaguars Rock Canyon falls in football to Fountain Fort Carson By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Brian Lamb, the UCLA graduate, had a smile on his face for a while Sept. 14 after the Bruins defeated Nebraska 41-21 in a matchup of nationally ranked college football teams. Brian Lamb, the Rock Canyon High School football coach, wasn’t as happy later that evening as Fountain Fort Carson pinned a 47-16 Pioneer League loss on his Jaguars at Shea Stadium. Rock Canyon saw its overall record dip

to 1-2 with the loss in the league opener, and the Jaguars hope to recover Sept. 20 in a homecoming game against Castle View. “We’ll look at the film and figure where we need to improve,” said Lamb. Rock Canyon will attempt to upgrade several parts of its game before meeting the Sabercats in a Pioneer League encounter at Shea Stadium. “We have to work on tackling and we have to get better up front in our line play on both sides of the ball,” said Lamb. “We try to scheme week to week on what is going to give us the most success.” Rock Canyon, which got just three points on two drives inside the Trojans’ 10yard line early in the game, rushed for only 61 yards against Fountain Fort Carson’s

defending league champions. Quarterback Ryan Hommel’s 10-yard scramble in the fourth quarter was the Jaguars’ longest run from scrimmage. Hommel, who sat out a 14-0 loss to Arvada West Sept. 5 with an injury, was 13-251 for 287 yards and two touchdowns. Austin Kortum caught six passes for 68 yards and a TD while Jack Lamb hauled in four passes for 119 yards and a score. “We have to stop blitzes better and when they end up in our backfield we are in trouble,” said Lamb. “That’s the bottom line. Ryan did all right.” Fountain Fort Carson had 430 yards total offense, including 370 yards rushing. Drew Harris finished with 280 yards on 17 carries and had TD runs of 62, 91 and 68

yards. On two of Harris’ long scoring sprints, he appeared to be stopped near the line of scrimmage but broke away from arm tackles. The Trojans averaged 9.1 yards per rush. “We didn’t tackle very well,” admitted Lamb. “You have to tackle. We have to keep working and try to get better.” Rock Canyon had three turnovers, leading to two Trojan touchdowns. Noah Parker, a 5-foot-7, 160-pound goalie on the lacrosse team, was in on 12 tackles for the Jaguars from his defensive back position. “They wore us down,” said Lamb. “They were a physical team. We have to get bigger and stronger in a hurry.”

Weather doesn’t silence Liberty Bell Floods keep many schools from attending invitational By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Heritage cross country coaches Lori Lee and Sheri Rossing spent a lot of time scrutinizing weather reports and watching reports of the devastating flooding in some parts of Colorado. Lee, director for the Liberty Bell Invitational cross country meet, and Rossing made the difficult decision to go ahead and run the event as planned Sept. 13. Instead of the usual 92 teams, only 55 were able to make it. So instead of the usual 4,230 runners, there were 2,500 competing in Littleton. Most teams from Wyoming and Larimer, Boulder and Weld counties were unable to participate. Several Denver-area school districts canceled activities, and teams didn’t get notification that it was OK to take part until it was too late. “There was a lot of controversy of whether to hold the meet or not,” said Rossing, who was the assistant meet director and head Heritage boys coach. “We felt that the teams that had it on their schedule that could make it, we owed it to them to go ahead and host the meet. “We feel sad there were several teams that couldn’t make it. There were some big powerhouses that couldn’t make it.” Several coaches and parents were miffed at the decision to run the Invitational as scheduled. “It was either do it for those teams that could make it or cancel it totally,” explained Rossing. “I wish there could have been another time for us to postpone. We couldn’t push it to Saturday because we have churches in our area that have weddings and everything else on Saturdays. “We couldn’t do that with the parking.

You kind of have to go with the flow sometimes because of Mother Nature.” Weather conditions were good for the 18 races that were held in the half-strength meet, but it was stormy at the finish of the boys Division I race. Albuquerque Academy, which has won 12 New Mexico state boys championships in the past 17 years and seven Liberty Bell titles since 2002, had five runners finish in the top 12, but their actions at the finish line caused officials to disqualify the team. “That was the first time we’ve ever had a team DQ’d,” said Rossing. “It was for their

unbelievable, unacceptable behavior after they crossed the finish line. They knocked down part of the chute and it wasn’t just one boy, it was several boys that were involved. With the other kids coming in behind them we were lucky we got times and places for the other kids because of what they did in the chute. Our games committee disqualified them. “Parents and other coaches that were standing there totally agreed with us with what we did. I understand on the MileSplit website there is some controversy and people chiming in and saying we shouldn’t have done all this, but they are dead wrong.” Albuquerque Academy coach Adam Kedge did not appeal the disqualification

and the boys were allowed to keep their individual medals. “I felt bad about it but their coach didn’t appeal it,” continued Rossing. “He knew it was appropriate with what we did. He knew what they did was wrong. I feel so bad for him. You don’t come into the finish line like that and knock things over, curse like they did.” Arapahoe senior Louis Hood, who finished second in the boys Division 1 race with a time of 15:53, was listed as the champion after the disqualification of Albuquerque’s Kyle Carrozza. Douglas County’s Jake Lucero was credited with a second-place finish in 16:11, while Arapahoe’s Mason Brevig, Nick Petersen and Nick Moore came in sixth, seventh and 10th to give the Warriors the Division I team title. Arapahoe coach Chuck Lutz was surprised when he saw his team accepting the first-place trophy. “I was so focused on all the races that were going on that it wasn’t until I saw the boys on the risers and they handed us the first-place hardware,” said Lutz. “Then I started to get a little bit of information funneled in about a disqualification. “I think my guys ran super. They had a great race. They really had a great nice pack. Louis had an excellent race. It was the first time he ever gone sub-16. We ran a perfect score in both the JV races. In the open race, which is not scored, we had another perfect score. Those two races were all Arapahoe.” Arapahoe’s Emily Wolf was third in the girls Division I race with a time of 18:23 and the Warriors were sixth in the team standings in the race won by the Albuquerque Academy girls. Jake Blackburn of Rock Canyon ran sixth in the boys Division 2 competition with a time of 16:22, and the Jaguars’ Phoebe Schneider was fourth in the girls race in 18:45.
