Ex-mayor: Art removal hurts image Reed calls for return of melting-planet piece By Virginia Grantier
vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com Randy Reed, Castle Rock’s mayor from 2006-10, recently asked Castle Rock Town Council to put back a bronze sculpture the town council removed this summer from town hall after Mayor Paul Donahue brought up his concern that the piece — which looks like a melting earth — might be politically contentious.
Reed said he didn’t think this was the image the town wanted to project. “We do welcome art, we welcome artists,” said Reed, who also served for six years on the town’s public arts commission. “Some of the best economic driv- Reed ers in communities around the country today are artists moving into communities bringing their studios and galleries.” At the same Sept. 17 council meeting, writer and actor Denis Gessing, of Castle
Rock, asked the same of council. He said because of council’s “outrageous censorship,” he took a survey of about 80 artists and patrons at the town’s recent art fest who signed his petition, which stated the following: “The sculpture is not the mayor’s and city council’s personal property to be censored, sold, traded, or removed based on their personal bias. We demand this sculpture be left in place.” Gessing said artists and patrons “showed concern with Castle Rock becoming an intolerant and repressive art community.” He said artists pay $350 for a booth along with travel and living expenses, and he won-
dered about the effect the council’s action might have on future art fests. The bronze sculpture, a piece about 8 inches tall, had been affixed to a stair railing. It resembled a melting earth with a bird looking on — and a plaque with the words “Global Warming” was near it. The town’s public arts commission, funded by individuals, private companies and an annual allotment from the Philip S. Miller Trust Fund, bought the piece in 2012 and placed it in town hall.

Consignment event is mother lode
About 200 outraged parents, teachers and community members rallied in front of the Douglas County School District’s administration building in Castle Rock on Sept. 27. Cold, damp weather did not dim their enthusiasm or ire, which was directed at the school board and district leadership. Some drivers passing by on Wilcox Street honked and waved, some stared and others ignored the waving, chanting, cheering crowd. “I’m disgusted, I’m furious and I’m appalled,” said Janica Winn, holding a sign reading, “4 Kids, not 4 Profit.” Winn’s daughter graduated from the district and her son is a high school student. “I don’t feel my son is getting the same education my daughter did,” she said, citing larger class sizes, decreased graduation requirements and diminished electives Rally continues on Page 31
Mom-to-mom movement sees sharp rise in sales By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com As a mother of three, Deborah Freeman understands what it is like when children are constantly growing out of clothes and losing interest in toys. Because of that, Freeman is one of 10 event coordinators in Colorado for Just Between Friends, a national mom-to-mom consignment movement that takes over the Douglas County Fairgrounds for two weekends a year. The most recent event was Freeman’s most successful yet, as 500 first-time shoppers and volunteers participated in the exclusive presale on Sept. 25. By the end of the first day, sales had more than doubled from the previous year. Freeman said she expected about 5,000 moms to visit the sale over the four days from Sept.

It supports me and my family,” said Freeman, who puts on a fall and winter/backto-school sale each September and a
spring/summer sale in the spring. “It’s a community garage sale with a twist. We inspect everything before we put it out on the sales floor and we

Storyteller helps others reach within He doesn’t remember quite what motivated him to offer a class to senior citizens on how to write your own life story. But then, for Garrett Ray, at 77 no youngster himself, life has been all about stories. The first page of his in-progress book starts this way: “Our stories begin as fragments in an attic trunk, nearly forgotten, then rediscovered, sometimes to our surprise. We pull out bits of fabric, examine the colors, move the scraps around, enjoy each one as a unique link to our past. Then we begin to place them side by side, discovering patterns we had not seen before, rearranging, looking again.” When you think about it, that’s who we are, isn’t it? A jumble of pieces steadily stitched into a narrative that somehow, one day, amazingly and unexpectedly, becomes a good story. You just have to see it. “Everybody … has stories to tell,” says Ray, in his soft and quick-paced voice, “if you can just get them to think that way.” The classes began in 2010 in the Highlands Ranch retirement complex he and his wife of 53 years moved to after a first career as a newspaper reporter and editor and a second one as a journalism professor. He calls this his third act. Offered once or twice a year for five hours over five weeks, the classes average 10 to 15 students. Even though he wrote weekly newspaper columns for more than 20 years, Ray uses Lois Daniel’s book, “How to Write Your Own Life Story,” to help teach his students. “A lot of them think if you’re going to write your life story, you’ve got to start with the first day,” Ray says. But you don’t. You look for the moments. “It might be a happy incident … or a house you lived in,” Ray says. “And that’s
where you ought to start, and guaranteed … you have enough stories to string together to make a pretty impressive package.” That’s what Dottie and John Talbott are doing. The couple, in their 80s, attended one of Ray’s classes last year. John, who can no longer type or write, is in a motorized wheelchair and speaks very softly. So he dictated his stories to Dottie, who typed them on the computer. “We figured out what things to talk about and what things to put in his memoir up to his sophomore year in college,” Dottie says. That’s when they met. “It was great fun,” she says, with a laugh. “I heard a lot of things I didn’t even know about him and we’ve been married for 63 years.” This winter, Dottie plans to write her part, which also will end at sophomore year in college. Then, she and John will compile the rest together. When the story is complete, one of their three daughters will add photographs and print the book. Their children, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, Dottie says, “will know who we are.” ••• Ray’s passion for writing started when he was 11 in Greeley, where he grew up. He, his younger brother and sister and a

couple of friends published a weekly newspaper called “The Neighborhood News” for three summers. They wrote about lost dogs and vacation trips and home improvements. He learned a bit about storytelling from his mother, a reporter and editor at The Greeley Tribune. His tenure as editor and publisher at The Littleton Independent from the 1960s to 1981 won him state and national acclaim — he was recently inducted into the Denver Press Club Hall of Fame. And he continued sharing his love for storytelling with students as a professor at Colorado State University until retiring in 2001. When you get it just right, writing is a gift, Ray says: “The human being … the eccentricities of people, the joys of people, the sadness of lives. … Almost anything will shape itself into a story if you can figure out how to start.” He smiles, blue eyes earnest behind his glasses, as he answers a question about the writing of his life story. Working on it, he says. “I’ve got to give myself a deadline — I only respond to deadlines, I think.” But he has a good start. A white utility binder encompasses 70 or so pages, some copies of the “Scratch Pad” columns he wrote for the newspaper, others written more recently. Each carries a simple title. There’s “The house on the corner.” “When we turn the corner by the house, I always hope someone will be standing outside so I can stop and say, ‘I grew up here!’ Here is where my parents planted the iris garden, and here, my grandmother grew roses, feeding them coffee grounds each evening.” And “Playing back the old tapes.” “We carry old tape recordings in our unconscious minds. …” And “Farm boys” and “Understand-

ing Dad” and “Thanksgiving at Grandma Ray’s.” And “In 2007 I became old.” “I have begun to notice the darkening beauty of our mountain ridge against the last light in the western sky. I wait for the dusk, grateful for the purity, the clarity, the nightly gift. “I dance with Bailey, overflowing with 18 months of toothy grins and joyful rhythms, to ‘Sleeping Beauty’ and ‘Mary Had a Little Lamb.’ “I cry easily, in sadness, in joy, in gratitude, in celebration. “In 2007, I became 71. I forgave myself. I began to wonder what happens next.” Ray calls his in-progress book “Partial Recall” because he doesn’t remember every detail. Just bits and pieces stand out. His life story, he says, is not cohesive. “This is not going to have the nice, smooth flow that a memoir would have. I don’t know if it will work or not. But it doesn’t make any difference if it works or not if I’m happy with it.” In the end, he hopes his grandchildren and their children, whoever reads his words, will think “it was worth their time.” Remember the first page, where Ray describes stories as scraps of fabric that we constantly rearrange and lay side-by-side into stories that matter? Here is the last line to that paragraph: “Before our eyes, a larger scene emerges, full of memories and color. Finally, our patchwork quilts reveal the stories of our lives.” We all have one. We just have to see it.

Operation Shepherd checks on sex offenders C DCSO partners with multiple agencies to do routine sweep By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Fifty law enforcement officers representing five different agencies, including the U.S. Marshals Service, hit the streets of Highlands Ranch this past week to check up on 62 of Douglas County’s 282 registered sex offenders. Directed by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, officers made contact with 48 of the 62 offenders they attempted to contact on Sept. 25, finding just one out of compliance. Earlier in September, officers swept through the southern part of the county, reaching 41 of 61 offenders in the Castle Rock area in one evening. “The most important thing about this is that law enforcement actually puts eyes on these people,” said DCSO Lt. Kevin Duffy. “This is a very transient population.” During the checks, which are required by state statute, officers take note of any significant changes including change in appearance, change of address, whether the offender is driving a new vehicle, or has changed an email address or phone number. “If they don’t live there anymore, we try to get the new address information and take
a statement from the current resident,” said DSCO Capt. Jason Kennedy. “That person becomes our first witness and our criminal investigation begins immediately.” Offenders have just five days to report a change in address or they could be charged with a felony. When the agencies made their sweep Sept. 11 in Castle Rock, they discovered one offender had moved to California and not reported it to Douglas County authorities or registered with the authorities in California. It’s for that exact type of situation that the U.S. Marshals Service works with local agencies to help keep track of offenders and intervene across jurisdictions when necessary. Any changes with offenders are tracked and immediately updated in the county’s online sex offender tracking system, SOTAR, which — after being launched in Douglas County in 2006 — now shares its information with 36 police departments and 21 sheriffs’ offices along the Front Range and Western Slope. “The registered sex offender database is in my opinion almost critical,” Duffy said. “We have called upon it in the last nine months on probably eight or nine cases where the first thing out of everybody’s mouth is: `Where are the registered sex offenders in the area?’ ... In a case in Parker, in literally a half-hour, we had detectives on the doorsteps of 18 sex offenders while looking to find a kid we thought was ab-

Permaculture class coming at Chatfield Steamboat Springs herbalist will share her knowledge Staff report Herbalist Mary O’Brien, of Steamboat Springs, who recently taught a class on a Sedalia farm about all of the edible and medicinal plants that could be found in the meadows and hills there, will teach a 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 5 permaculture class with Jim Gibson, president of the Colorado Mycological Society, at the Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield Reservoir. When people, plants, animals, water, air, buildings and so on interact benefi-
cially with each other through good design and placement, the area becomes more resilient, more of a permanent agriculture, according to information from Denver Botanic Gardens. There are many classic permaculture techniques that have been developed, and students will be introduced to some of them, including sheet mulching, herb spirals, guild planting and more. The class will also include a hands-on exercise in the afternoon where participants will gain practical information and experience to use at home, work or both.

Coroner announces run for sheriff Thomas makes it a three-way race in Douglas County
‘When a regime is more concerned with power and control
By Ryan Boldrey
than responsibilities to the public, that’s a problem.’
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com After months of speculation, Douglas County Coroner Lora Thomas has announced her 2014 run for sheriff. Thomas spent 26 years with the Colorado State Patrol, starting as a civilian dispatcher and working her way up to one of the five highestranking officials in the department. She would become the first female sheriff of Douglas County if elected. Using the slogan “It’s time for a new sheriff in town,” Thomas said she hopes to break up the “good ol’ boys’ regime which has been running the county since before John Elway was a house- Thomas hold name.” Thomas is the third person to announce a candidacy for Douglas County sheriff, and is running against two fellow Republicans: Castle Rock Police Cmdr. John Anderson and Douglas County Undersheriff Tony Spurlock. If Spurlock were to be elected, Thomas said, she doesn’t see how anything would change. Spurlock, she said, is considered “next in line” to take over for the

Douglas County Coroner Lora Thomas term-limited Sheriff David Weaver, who was appointed to the job when Mike Acree stepped down in 2005. Acree had been part of longtime Sheriff Steve Zotos’ regime before being elected in 2002. Zotos served as sheriff from 1983-2003. “It appears to me that Tony is pretty well running the department anyway,” Thomas said, pointing out that Spurlock is often the one representing the department at public events. She said numerous deputies have come up to her in full uniform, urging her to run, stating they don’t like what is going on. “When a regime is more concerned with power and control than responsibilities to the public, that’s a problem,” Thomas said. “We are going to find all those instances where power and control was more important than providing for the public’s safety.” Since being elected coroner in 2010, Thomas has trimmed the budget from $1.3 million to
$900,000 and also uncovered the theft of weapons and drugs from a previously unsecured evidence room, leading to felony charges against previous Deputy Coroner Carter Lord. “When I ran for coroner, everyone said ‘don’t waste your time,’” she said. “I was repeatedly told that the office was well-run and that everybody who was anybody was anybody was supporting (Lord) and that he was next in line. “This is the exact same situation here. I think they are all from the same good ol’ boy club and we have proven what was going on in the coroner’s office and I have made a huge improvement there. I’m just looking for the opportunity to do the same thing in the sheriff’s office, to have a fresh, new face come in and improve a department. If I was just looking for a job, I’d run for coroner again.” For more information on Thomas’ campaign, visit www.thomas2014.org.

Lawyers, officials tackle civil-court aid for poor Litigants face tough task in non-criminal cases By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com At one time, Maria Nunez was a single mom struggling alone to reach a settlement with her ex. Today, she’s a confident personal trainer with fair child support and visitation agreements. Nunez credits help she got from Metro Volunteer Lawyers. “I felt that I was in the middle of a big support group,” she says in a video shown to elected officials and others from throughout the 18th Judicial District during the Access to Justice Hearing, held Sept. 24 at the Arapahoe County Justice Center. “It was nice to see how that helped Maria grow,” attorney Steve Cook says in the video. When someone facing criminal charges shows up in court without an attorney, the judge can appoint a public defender at taxpayer expense. But there is no such provision in civil cases like divorce, probate and custody battles — situations that people who can’t afford an attorney commonly face. “I was drowning in debt, as everyone was at the time,” said Patricia Crowe, who saved her house from foreclosure with help an attorney from Colorado Legal Services. “He was very good and very thorough, and he was with me through the whole deal.” Hobbs presented data indicating there are 85,000 people living in poverty in the 18th Judicial District, a number that is projected to grow by 45 percent before the year 2040. In 2012, more than 82,000 civil cases were filed in the district, mostly in county court. There are efforts throughout the district to provide help for people facing civil battles, whether they are defending themselves or filing a claim. For example, Douglas and Arapahoe counties both have “pro se clinics” to guide people representing themselves through the court system. “I compare it to changing an oil filter,” said David Rolfe of the Douglas Pro Se and Mediation Clinic. “If you’ve never changed an oil filter, you’re going to want to get with a buddy and watch it happen first.” There’s also a new self-help center at the Arapahoe County Justice Center that’s seen more than 1,000 people since it opened at the beginning of the year. Its director, Lindsey Adams, said domestic-relations cases make up 76 percent of those she sees. In divorce cases, for example, people can pick

Photo by Jennifer Smith up a packet from the clerk’s office, fill it out and file everything themselves. But they often get stuck. “There’s a real emotional factor,” she said. “Even though it has instructions, it can be overwhelming.” Families facing separation due to deportation can often be waylaid by emotion, as well. Mekela Goehring of the Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network explained that undocumented immigrants have no right to an attorney, no matter their status, nationality or even age. “It simply is an injustice that 5-year-olds are forced to represent themselves,” she said. Organizations like MVL and CLS provide volunteer attorneys to the indigent, but they rely on state and local funding. Representatives from those organizations say the money is unpredictable, insufficient and dwindling. “Despite our best efforts, the American Bar Association estimates only 20 percent
of the legal needs of the poor are met,” said Jonathan Asher of CLS. “We, in fact, turn away one person for every person we help.” Part of the money comes from fees tacked on to filing charges, which some consider controversial. “There is a real philosophical debate around funding our judicial system and access to it by charging the participants in the system,” said state Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver. “At some point, you can start to price it out of reach.” Such assistance doesn’t just help the poor, notes Colorado Supreme Court Justice Gregory J. Hobbs. He says it speeds up the process for everyone by keeping incorrect paperwork and confusion from leaving cases languishing on the dockets. And the longer they languish, the more they cost in the way of attorney fees, staff time and other resources, he said. “It puts us as judges in a very difficult position, because we can’t go out of our way to offer them legal advice,” he said. “We can
help them along, but we can’t offer them a whole lot of guidance.” Elbert County Commissioner Robert Rowland wondered about the other extreme, asking if a lot of pro se cases are frivolous and clogging up the courts unnecessarily. “I have no doubt that some pro se people have meritless cases,” said Asher. “There are some who no reasonable lawyer would take their case. Some get that message, and some go ahead and file pro se.” But, he adds, assistance services can help weed those out. Dianne Van Voorhees of MVL noted fundraising in this arena can be more challenging than in others, such as animal shelters or starving children. “People say, `I love puppies, and I love kittens.’ But it’s tougher for our people. We get our people at the toughest time in their lives. … We need to figure out how to broaden the knowledge about this critical service we provide to the community.”
Education tax plan debated School-finance proposal includes two-tiered hike By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Opponents call it the biggest income tax increase of our time, and say it’s a disproportionately designed, untested proposal. Proponents say Amendment 66 exacts a minimal fee that in the long run will translate into an improved economic scenario for all. Four people, including the co-author of the amendment, argued on both sides of the issue during a Sept. 26 Highlands Ranch library forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters as the upcoming election nears. In Douglas County, the amendment will cost residents more in taxes than it returns in increased school funding, opponents say. The ballot question will ask voters to approve a two-tiered income tax hike that would raise about $950 million for public school funding. Colorado’s current flat income tax of 4.63 percent would change to 5 percent for those earning $75,000 or less. Those above that mark would pay 5 percent on the first $75,000 and 5.9 percent on earnings above that. State Sen. Mike Johnston, who also led the charge for Colorado educator effectiveness law in 2012 — also known as Senate Bill 191 — said Amendment 66 will trans-
form Colorado’s education funding. “Not just where those dollars go, but the results we get from those dollars,” he said during the forum. The money would fund full-day kindergarten, allow for schools to extend school days and/or calendar years, expand technology and education options, restore programs lost to budget cuts and change the funding formula to avert looming future financial snags. But opponent Steve Durham, a former Colorado senator, said there’s no proof the proposed changes will work as intended, adding that higher income taxes could deter productivity and ding the economy. “I’ve always come from the school that if you tax something, you’ll get a little less of it,” he said. Though he didn’t attend the Sept. 26 forum, school board member Kevin Larsen is an outspoken critic of the proposal. Because the incomes taxes proposed under Amendment 66 are tiered, the relatively affluent residents of Douglas County will take a disproportionate hit, he said. “Ninety to $100 million of new taxes to Douglas County will result from the passage of Amendment 66,” he said. In return, the county will get back from the state an estimated additional $50 million in annual school revenues. “Douglas County is a net giver,” Boggs Tax continues on Page 7

District says programs enhance internal, external connections By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Non-salary expenses for the Douglas County School District’s communications services more than quadrupled from the 2009-10 academic year to 2012-13, and the district’s total communications staff salaries are more than 76 percent higher than neighboring Cherry Creek School District’s. DCSD’s communications department non-salary expenses, which added up to just over $21,000 for the 2009-10 academic year, increased to more than $96,000 in 2012-13. Since July 1, DCSD’s communications department already has spent about $54,000 on non-salary expenses — more than half the amount it did in the entire previous year. Of the amount since July 1, $20,300 was paid to a marketing company — an amount almost equal to the department’s entire 2009-10 non-salary expenses.
The marketing company, Strategic Advantage, helped with content-writing and story production for the district’s electronic and printed newsletters, according to DCSD public information officer Michelle Yi, one of six full-time employees in the communications department. District leaders say communication efforts throughout the community and within the district are greatly enhanced, with internal information serving as a resource for teachers and staff members. New features include a weekly radio show, telephone town halls, a DCSD app, video programs on cable television and YouTube, enhanced internal and crisis communications, and a recently redesigned website and electronic parent newsletter. “Our key criteria is to make sure we’ve got avenues of communication for each of our stakeholder groups — parents, employees, students and our community,” DCSD internal communications officer Randy Barber told the school board during its August meeting. “As we’re reinventing American education in this district, information is a key to that process.” The department recently hired Yi as its

In August, the department also paid DCSD legal counsel Rob Ross’ wife about $1,500 for 45 hours of work — an hourly rate of $32.50. Linda Ross is working as a temporary employee in a variety of departments and has not worked in the communications office since August, according to Yi. DCSD policy allows the district to employ more than one member of an immediate family, but forbids employees from supervising or evaluating an immediate family member.
Past connections from politics resurface
love e. We their By Jane Reuter oadjreuter@ourcoloradonews.com rvice
Two of the Douglas County School District’s top communication department employees have past Republican campaign ties with individuals connected to district matters. The department paid marketing and public affairs companies almost $64,000 in the last 15 months. About half that — nearly $29,000 — went to High Point Public Affairs, a Denver-based company that implemented DCSD’s telephone town halls. High Point’s president, Jake Zambrano, previously was a co-principal at Republican campaign consulting firm Phase Line Strategies with Cinamon Watson, who is now the school district’s community relations officer. Both worked at Phase Line in the mid-2000s. “I knew that (Zambrano) provided the service for telephone town halls,” Watson said. “We tried to procure it in-house and it wasn’t cost-effective.” The town halls have “been a great way for us to reach out to the community, to people that are perhaps are too busy to attend meetings, and get them district news,” Watson added.

said. “We send lots of tax dollars downtown and we don’t get all the tax dollars back. This exacerbates the problem.” Johnston sees the tax increase, which he said translates to an average of about $133 a year, differently. “After this passes, the state of Colorado will have a lower combined tax rate than
Phase Line since has merged with marketing company R&R Partners. DCSD public information officer Michelle Yi also has ties to former Republican campaign acquaintances now involved with DCSD. In 2012, while Yi was Joe Coors’ communications director during his run for Congress, Dustin Zvonek served as his campaign manager. Zvonek is director of the Colorado chapter of Americans for Prosperity (AFP), sponsor of the current “It’s Working” pro-DCSD advertising campaign. Zvonek also was current board member Justin Williams’ campaign coordinator during the 2011 election. Yi acknowledged Zvonek is a personal friend, but said AFP’s ad campaign was a complete surprise to her. “I really haven’t talked to him about anything like that,” she said. Zambrano also is associate vice president for legislative affairs at EIS Solutions, a political advocacy firm where Zvonek worked until last year. AFP, which promotes limited government and free markets, was founded with support from billionaire brothers David and Charles Koch, known for their support of right-wing causes and advocacy groups.
seven of the states around us (and) all 12 of our director competitor states,” he said. Great Education Colorado director Liane Morrison said the amendment will more equitably distribute education funds so children in poorer communities have opportunities similar to those in Douglas County. “You want (your children’s) colleagues to have an equal experience like you’re trying to get your kids,” she said. “We either put it in at this end, or the other end. If you put it in early, society reaps great benefit.”
new district public information officer — the third in as many years. Yi, who joined DCSD in June, has a career background in Republican politics. Most recently, she was communications director during Joe Coors’ unsuccessful 2012 run for Congress. Former spokespersons have shifted roles, but have not left DCSD. With the addition of Yi to the communications staff, DCSD is paying about $430,000 in salaries to its six-person department. By contrast, neighboring Cherry Creek School District employs four communications department staff members with salaries totaling about $244,000. Cherry Creek is the state’s fourth-largest school district with about 53,000 students; Douglas County is third with about 67,000 students. Community relations officer Cinamon Watson, also with a background in Republican campaigns, is the highest paid among the DCSD communications staff at $123,500. Barber, formerly DCSD’s spokesman, shifted within the department to internal communications and a post vacated by a previous employee, district officials said.
Watson, who stepped into Barber’s role in 2012, leads the department, with most public interaction turned over to Yi earlier this year. Watson also is interim executive director of the Douglas County Educational Foundation, the district’s fundraising arm. Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen said DCSD is widely admired for its communications efforts. “They’ve done amazing with the amount of time and resources they’ve had,” she told the board in August. “We’ve had many visitors come and look at our communications relations department and say it’s the most comprehensive, innovative community relations department they’ve seen anywhere.” According to an email sent by Yi, “In 2011, the Community Relations Department reorganized and developed a comprehensive plan to meet a mission of communicating, educating, and informing our four stakeholder groups: students, parents, employees, and the community. The communications plan is a two-pronged effort to reach both internal and external audiences.”

We love letters, but stay within lines In an era in which readers are more likely to post comments at the bottom of an online article or on a blog or on Facebook, we believe there is still a place for the good old-fashioned letter to the editor. Unlike online commenting, letters to the editor must go through something of a vetting process before being published. Largely, this is in order to maintain a measure of civility that, sadly, is often lacking online. On our opinion pages, we aim to provide a forum to stir community conversation. We appreciate diversity of thought and do not pick which letters run or don’t run based on our viewpoint. If you’re wondering why your letter wasn’t printed or are hoping to have one that is, read what follows. These do’s and don’ts will make the process easier for you and our editors. Do: • Your homework. In other words, check your facts. We have a small staff and can’t

Tell us what you like or dislike. We particularly appreciate it when you comment on our articles and opinion pieces regarding local issues. But state, national and world issues are also on the table, if they are of relevance to our readers. • Keep it short. Our policy calls for letters of 300 words or fewer. Sure, we try to be a little flexible, and from time to time, you might see a letter a little longer but still in the ballpark.

letter to the editor Business model is real `rubbish’
In response to “Claims about schools are rubbish”: Michael Wallace claims that schools should be run like a business, and businesses will listen to customers. I’d like to remind Michael Wallace that this BOE didn’t listen to their customers when they dismissed the negative results in their survey in 2012. I can’t help but wonder if this is the same survey company that called my house last week and hung up when I responded negatively! This BOE proceeds to ignore their customers. I also want to remind Michael Wallace that many businesses did not/do not listen to customers. This is how so many businesses fail! But Michael is only looking at things with his free-market, drown-allgovernment-in-the-bathtub, rose-coloredglasses. I am a customer and I will not vote for any current BOE. I want them all out! Their new product is loaded with profiteers who see an opportunity to make money on the backs of my kids and my neighbors’ kids.
I have no problem with reform, and there is room for reform. My two oldest went to a charter school for nine years each and I will always defend charter schools. But restore my fifth-grader’s PE class! Restore my fourth-grader’s exposure to geography to more than two days’ coverage, restore the high expectations for graduation. Capitalists and free marketeers are by their very nature … profiteers, they want to make a profit … profit off our testing, profit off tuition, profit off our children’s education and their future. By their very nature, profiteers want profits first, customer service is not their priority. I hate to break it to you Michael, it’s the same in the business world. But I am most mad about the vouchers. I personally would not be able to afford the $15,000-$20,000 to send my child to a private school, voucher or no voucher of $4,575, that still leaves me with coming up with the remainder. And I have four children. Rose Duhaime Parker
Too good for our own good Just even saying that we are “too good” at something is kind of like saying we are having “too much fun,” or “we have too much money.” None of these statements makes a whole lot of sense, as I can’t remember a time when I actually had too much fun and I never found myself saying that there was no more room in my bank account because I simply had too much money. However, I can look at times when I had reached a certain level of expertise or accomplishment at a specific skill or craft and can probably say that I had become “too good” at that particular skill. It’s not being good, great, or extremely accomplished at something that is the problem, it’s when we become complacent or even maybe careless because we start to operate on autopilot. I have met many extremely talented and skilled individuals and teams who are wonderfully accomplished. They never cease to amaze me with their capabilities and productivity. But even some of these folks have gotten caught in the trap of complacency or carelessness, cutting corners and taking shortcuts because they have been doing their job or fulfilling their role for so many years they forget to pay attention to the details. When this happens they don’t produce their best work, or they set a poor example for someone who may be looking to learn from that person as a role model or mentor. Always be willing to learn even more. No matter how good we believe we are, regardless of how strong, fast, accomplished or experienced we believe ourselves to be, there is always someone better, smarter, stronger, faster, and more productive than we are. Always. So we need to be willing to develop an attitude of being a constant
student of the game, especially when it comes to those things that we are most passionate about. Another good idea is to imagine that we are teaching someone how to do the very same thing that we do. Even if we are alone performing a task or utilizing a skill, if we place ourselves in the role of the teacher, and remind ourselves the importance of safety, productivity, quality, and value we will certainly deliver a product or accomplish something we can truly be proud of. I love the quote by Jim Collins found in his book, “Good to Great”: “Good is the enemy of great.” When we settle for just being good at something we give up on our pursuit of achieving greatness or excellence. So let’s not settle for just being “too good” at something, let’s focus on making sure that we remain diligent and proud of all that we do on our way to being great. If you believe that you just might be too good for your own good at what you love to do the most, send me an email at gotonorton@gmail.com and tell me all about it. And as we grow each and every day, it really will be a better than good week.

You can also email one of our editors, but it is more efficient to send your letters to the address specifically designated for them. • Let us know who you are. Include your full name, address and phone number with your letter. We won’t publish your digits, don’t worry. We just need to give you a call to make sure the letter was actually written by you. Yes, “letter-to-the-editor fraud” does happen. Don’t: • Put words in someone’s mouth. You can write in support — or opposition — of another person, such as a candidate for public office, but don’t assign any thoughts, opinions or actions to an individual that haven’t been publicly documented. If you do so, we may consider it a news tip and investigate the validity of your claim, but
we won’t run it as a letter to the editor. • Buy a stamp. “Snail mail” isn’t efficient when it comes to letters to the editor. As mentioned, we have a small staff and can’t take the time to retype your letter (which, we’re guessing, was written on a computer anyway). Email your letter to the address mentioned earlier. It will get to us faster, something you will appreciate if you want to see it published in the upcoming edition of the newspaper. • Inundate us with letters. By this, we mean from one person. We want everyone to have their say, so don’t expect to see more than two of your letters printed in any given month. • Be surprised if we edit for grammar or punctuation. We approach this very judiciously, however. A tip: DON’T WRITE IN ALL CAPS or use a lot of !!! • Use profanity or call someone a word you wouldn’t use in front of your mother. Your letters really do matter. We look forward to seeing more of them.
A real fly in the ointment I have written a haiku for you today: I despise all flies McFly is OK, that’s it The rest are pests. Swat I hate flies. I am sure that I would feel the same way about jellyfish and cane toads, but I never see them in my neighborhood. I haven’t seen a single Gaboon viper either. Gaboon vipers have the largest venom yield of any venomous snake. No attempt was made to give flies a unique name, like butterflies and dragonflies. A fly is just a fly. It’s entry-level naming. “What does it do?” “It flies, that about it.” “We’ll call it a fly.” Sometimes you can’t even see them. They just buzz around the kitchen, and do one touch-and-go after another. Flies are completely useless. I guess lizards like them, and that’s better than nothing. Otherwise, they are no more than nuisances. Quite unnecessary, dark, flying specks. At least mosquitoes led to medical breakthroughs because of malaria. Flies? Nothing. “Some strains are immune to most insecticides.” There is fly fishing, and fly balls, and “a fly on the wall.” In the urban dictionary, “fly” means cool. But I am reaching. Flies are 100 percent irksome. There is one in the house right now. It’s in the kitchen. It may be a reincarnation. In fact, I am certain of it. I’m pretty sure it’s a former student of mine who once told me that she had a Mr. Smith doll that she put

Digital library debuts at ThunderRidge Flexible furniture, open space encourages student collaboration By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Something’s missing from the ThunderRidge High School library. Instead of the shelves of books that typically consume most of the space in a traditional library, ThunderRidge’s is open and airy, with a few shelves tucked along walls. The books aren’t gone, but in the new Digital Learning Center, they’re digitized. Now, said librarian Paula Busey, “I can have 1,000 kids hitting the same books at the same time.” That leaves room for students to gather and collaborate on projects. Bright green and soft blue chairs with wheels encourage that team effort, allowing students to form circles for group projects and move around the room easily. “The whole idea was to make it a more collaborative place,” Busey said. “Collaborative work is the way the world is solving problems. It’s where so much creating comes from.” “This has changed into a flexible space,” Principal Carole Jennings said. “It replicates a lot of business environments.” The school held a grand opening of its new digital library Sept. 24. Digital librar-
ies are not a new concept at the university level and collaborative spaces increasingly are common in corporate workplaces, but they’re uncommon at the high school level. ThunderRidge’s is the first in the school district, and its supporters hope it will serve as a model for others to follow. Chromebooks, iPads and laptop computers are available for student use or checkout. “Libraries forever were for research and study,” Jennings said. “Most people have one-to-one devices now, so we need to push students in a different direction. This is where they need to activate their minds. Our intention is to be the hub of every content area in our building.” Students are encouraged to interact not just with one another and their teachers, but industry experts in their area of study. Using Skype is highly encouraged. “Now we take that next step and bring the real world into our school,” Jennings said. “The students get it,” said Katie Lindauer, a parent with the nonprofit ThunderRidge Education Partnership. “At any time, a group could form around a screen and Skype. With all these screens, you could pretty much form a classroom at any point.” Despite the emphasis on collaboration, plenty of space and options remain for individual study. “I think this is a good improvement,” said junior Michael North, a regular visitor

Radio show cut ignites candidate controversy Critics say audio clip doctored; Scholting defends edited product By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Supporters of the current Douglas County School Board and a conservative radio talk show host accuse candidate Ronda Scholting of doctoring an audio for a campaign ad. Scholting, a former broadcast journalist, said the edited clip is in context with the original conversation and called the criticism a distraction tactic. The clip was taken from KOA-AM talk show host Mike Rosen’s Sept. 13 interview with school board candidate Meghann Silverthorn, who is Scholting’s opponent in the election. Rosen, who supports the board’s reform efforts, said candidates who support the continuation of those reforms face opposition, mostly from women. “These are nice, well-meaning, naive soccer moms who can’t distinguish between an individual teacher and the collective menace and intransigence of a teachers’ union with its political power,” Rosen said, talking for nearly two minutes about his view of what’s at stake in the election. Rosen then asked Silverthorn for her reaction to his summation. “I think to some extent you hit it on the head,” Silverthorn said. “It’s sort of like Congress. You like your individual teacher but you look at the union overall and think, oh my goodness. The leadership of the union
was what we had an issue with. Individual teachers are hard workers, they’re honest and want to do right by our kids.” The video campaign ad that Scholting made from the show excludes most of that segment. It includes only Rosen saying, “You’re up against mostly women. Nice, well-meaning, naive soccer moms,” followed by Silverthorn responding, “You hit it on the head.” “I cut it as most television journalists do,” Scholting said. “I kept the comments in context. (Silverthorn) did not disagree with what Mike Rosen had to say about soccer moms. “The point of my video is they (board members) don’t listen; they think people are uninformed. When you’re looking at a board that has discounted what parents who disagree with them have been saying for years, this is just another chapter in that book.” During her broadcast journalism career, Scholting said she never was accused of an inaccuracy. Silverthorn, meanwhile, said cutting the words “to some extent” from her quote created a misrepresentation. “Basically, it seems Ronda picked and chose portions of the audio that supported a certain point she wanted to make about me,” Silverthorn said. “As I said on the show, there are people that what they care about is the level of education their children are receiving. Thoughts of the union or political things, it’s not on their radar.” DCSD’s collective bargaining agreement with the teachers union expired in 2012. Board members since have accused union
State’s racial gaps narrow in education By Burt Hubbard
I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS Black and Latino adults in Colorado narrowed some of the wide education gaps with their white counterparts last year, according to an I-News analysis of new U.S. Census Bureau data. Colorado no longer has the largest gaps in the nation in college graduation rates between black and white residents, and both Latino and black adults saw high school graduation gaps narrow to their lowest levels in decades. “That’s good news all the way around,” said Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia, who heads the Colorado Higher Education Department. However, income, poverty and homeownership disparities between whites and the state’s largest minority groups remained unchanged between 2010 and 2012.
An I-News investigation published earlier this year of six decades of Census data found that minority gains made in key economic and education areas had eroded over time. In many cases, the disparities between Latinos, blacks and whites were wider in 2010 than they were in the 1960s and 1970s. The latest Census data from the 2012 American Community Survey found acrossthe-board increases in minority high school and college graduation rates since 2010. The percent of black adults 25 years of age and older with college degrees rose from about 20 percent to 24 percent during the two years. That narrowed the gap with their white counterparts to less than 20 percentage points, compared to 23 percentage points in 2010. White college graduation rates inched up less than 1 percentage point to 43 percent in 2012.
leaders of disseminating inaccurate information about the district. “I don’t believe they’re acting in the best interest of our teachers,” Silverthorn said. “Then again, what the unions are doing is not the only thing going on right now. I think it is an issue, but it’s not the central issue.” Rosen’s broadcast angered parents who
support change on the board. “I am dismayed at Ms. Silverthorn’s agreement with Rosen,” said Kathleen Boyer of Highlands Ranch. “Those soccer moms are her constituents, and she should be listening to them. The fact that she doesn’t realize how educated and well-informed we are only shows how out of touch she is with the parents of Douglas County.”

Education notable lauds school reforms Former Reagan Cabinet member acknowledges controversy, concerns By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com The nation is watching Douglas County, former U.S. Secretary of Education Bill Bennett told an audience of about 250 people at the Lone Tree Arts Center on Sept. 25. Bennett’s 20-minute address was followed by a question-and-answer session during an event organized by the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. It was paid for by the nonprofit Douglas County Educational Foundation through a consulting agreement with Bennett, a fact not disclosed until after the event. “Let me just say this — in agreement or not, whether you like all the pieces or not — here’s a school district that is trying to go from good to great,” Bennett said. “What will happen, we shall see. It’s intensely a matter of focus here in Douglas County, and increasingly the focus for people around the country and indeed around the world.” Regardless of his paid consultant status, Bennett didn’t give unilateral support to the Douglas County School District’s controversial education reform efforts. He questions the school board’s decision to oppose the national Common Core Standards in favor of its own curriculum, which it considers superior. “I’m not sure whether I agree with this or not; I should say I’m pretty much a traditionalist when it comes to curriculum,” Bennett said. “But in this interestingly con-
Former U.S. Secretary of Education Bill Bennett spoke Sept. 25 at the Lone Tree Arts Center. Photo by Jane Reuter servative district of Douglas County, the people who have decided to go after worldclass education have taken a pretty radical, pretty progressive, you might say liberal, endorsed set of proposals on curriculum. “Very reputable people have developed
this theory. I still have some concerns about it.” He cited a study written by the American Enterprise Institute’s Frederick Hess and Max Eden titled, “The most interesting school district in America? Douglas Coun-
ty’s pursuit of suburban reform.” Hess also is consultant paid through DCEF. “There are a lot of us — left, right and center — who believe this is the most interesting set of reforms in the country, and that this is a laboratory worth watching,” Bennett said. Bennett said he saw firsthand some of the controversy surrounding those reforms during a meeting with about 60 DCSD teachers. There was “a lot of disagreement in the room, particularly about some of the features of the compensation plan,” he said. “But there’s a sense of engagement I’ve rarely seen in a school district.” Controversy aside, Bennett said DCSD’s effort to revamp teachers’ compensation is admirable. He also credited DCSD for tackling the reforms at a “bargain basement price” of about $7,000 per student, significantly less than the $10,000 national average in perpupil spending. Bennett touched on education concerns nationwide, citing the United States’ 32nd-place math skills ranking. A total of 65 countries participated in the study of 2011 high school graduates. “This is an embarrassment and it makes a great deal of difference in the lives of these young people,” Bennett said. “If we could just pull ourselves up to the level of Canada, we would have a 20 percent higher gross domestic product for each worker over the next 80 years.” Bennett served as secretary of education under President Ronald Reagan, and as President George H.W. Bush’s director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy. He is co-founder of K12, a for-profit online education corporation that is publicly traded.
Schools’ nonprofit fundraising arm pays high-profile speaker Bennett’s consultant role called ‘strategic relationship’ By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Former U.S. Secretary of Education Bill Bennett’s Sept. 25 address in Lone Tree was paid for as part of a five-figure consulting agreement through the Douglas County School District’s fundraising arm. Bennett spoke about American education and the reforms that Douglas County is attempting. Rick Hess, co-author of a paper titled “The Most Interesting School District in America?” — which Bennett referenced in his speech — also is a paid consultant with the Douglas County Educational Foundation. The school district touted the paper in its Sept. 18 electronic parents’ newsletter, Newsline, but did not indicate Hess received financial compensation. School board president John Carson said the foundation has paid Bennett about $50,000 since July for a variety of work, including the Lone Tree Arts Center speech;
it also has funded Hess’ compensation. The DCEF is the district’s nonprofit fundraising arm. No mention of the school district or the DCEF’s involvement in Bennett’s address was made during the lead-up to the event, or at the event. The South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce organized the address, but did not finance it. “We have raised and expended $50,000 so far on a strategic relationship with (Bennett),” Carson said during a Sept. 25 phone interview. “He’s been out here, doing a white paper, providing recommendations and other things.” The American Enterprise Institute’s Hess “is basically paid to be a consultant to the district and do research and provide strategic advice to us,” Carson said. Hess and his AEI colleague Max Eden cowrote the paper on Douglas County’s education reform efforts. The nonprofit AEI is a conservative, probusiness think tank “committed to expanding liberty, increasing individual opportunity and strengthening free enterprise,” according to its website. Critics have called it a leading member of the neoconservative
movement. Carson described the consultants’ DCEF funding as similar to DCSD’s legal fund in the voucher lawsuit. “Obviously the foundation is a means through which we raise funds for various functions of the district, but again, those are private dollars,” Carson said. “We feel it’s important to raise those additional items that are important to our district through private sources. “We have received private donations to support our work with a number of folks that I would say are education innovation thinkers. Third-party validation, work and suggestions are important to us.” The DCEF “was created in June of 1990 to develop private resources to enrich education within Douglas County schools for the fulfillment of lifelong learning experiences of our students, citizens and community,” according to its website. Former president of the DCEF Bob Kaser said payment for outside consultants is inconsistent with the organization’s original intent. “Our total focus was where the kids are, inside the classroom,” he said. “Worthy
grants for students, teachers and parents is how we considered dispersing funds. I think what the DCEF started out to be and was in the ‘90s and what it looks like today is dramatically different, and polarizing.” DCSD’s community relations officer Cinamon Watson was named interim director of the DCEF in 2012. In addition to Hess and Bennett, paid consultants include education experts Tony Wagner and Yong Zhao “and other folks,” Carson said. Carson acknowledged the timing of Bennett’s address — little more than a month before the high-stakes school board election — might appear curious to some. “We’ve been rolling along for quite a while on all of our innovations,” he said. “But we’re not going to stop moving forward just because there’s elections out there. We think it’s important to communicate with the community and make clear our course of action.” Jeff Holwell, director of the South Metro Chamber’s Economic Development Group, said the organization’s role in Bennett’s appearance “was attracting the community to participate in the event.”

Social Security cards stolen
Sometime between Aug. 23 and Sept. 19, a Highlands Ranch woman’s and her son’s Social Security cards were stolen from the woman’s vehicle. She had placed the cards in her vehicle in order to open up a savings account in both of their names, but had not yet gotten around to going to the bank to open the account. In the time before she noticed the cards missing, the woman valet-parked her vehicle at the airport, dropped the car off to get it cleaned and took it to the dealership for work. The sheriff’s office reminds people not to leave their cards where others can get to them for fear of potential identity theft.
Construction sites robbed
Three Parker construction sites filed theft reports with the Douglas County
KWGN Anchorwoman Natalie Tysdal giving the keynote address at the 5th Annual Leadership Awards Luncheon.
On Friday, September 20th, the South Metro Denver Women in Leadership (WIL) hosted its fifth Annual Women’s Leadership Conference themed “WIL to Prosper.” This exciting and enlightening event took place at the Embassy Suites DTC and included free mammograms, 9 different morning and afternoon break-out sessions, the Annual Women’s Leadership Awards Luncheon, and a cocktail reception to end the day. The conference was a great experience for the 165 business women who attended. The early morning hour of 7:30 featured a delicious buffet breakfast as the gathering women listened as Chamber President & CEO John Brackney and current WIL Chair Gina Kaelin-Westcott of Extreme Relationship Management welcomed the ladies and gave insights regarding the day’s events. Several Chamber Investors took advantage of the opportunity to present their products and services at booths throughout the day. Kuni Honda on Arapahoe, Schomp Automotive, Arbonne International, Park Meadows, Silpada Jewelry, Take Shape for Life, Lovett Family Chiropractic and Wellness Center, University of Colorado Hospital
and the South Metro Denver Small Business Development Center were present with an enthusiastic audience. The 5th Annual Women’s Leadership Awards Luncheon began with a presentation by Heather Halpape, Public Affairs Manager for Safeway Denver, of a check for $3000 to Project C.U.R. E. Laurie Porter for Project C.U.R. E. spoke on the great work the organization does with getting much needed medical supplies set to developing countries. Outstanding women who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in their businesses and community were then honored. To rounds of applause Pamela Kelly of Park Meadows was christened Outstanding Leader of the Year Holly Mullins, Farmers Insurance Agent/Owner was named Emerging Business Leader of the Year, Bridget Lovett, Co-Owner of Lovett Family Chiropractic and Wellness Center gained Community Leader of the Year, Kristie Nelson, Realtor with Remax Alliance was the Inspirational Leader of the Year, and Leah Dirks, Vice President at 1st Bank was named Philanthropic Leader of the Year. KWGN anchor Natalie Tysdal was the keynote speaker for the luncheon. During her honest and sometimes emotional presentation, Natalie spoke on her decision to become a reporter in order to be sure that people were portrayed by the media with compassion and integrity. Her conflicts with being a woman in a male-dominated arena and her stance on what is appropriate to report and what is not were covered as well as her new entrepreneurial endeavor, EverWise Entertainment. The conference presented 9 seminars including three panel discussions. Semi-

Four rolls of home wrap and a power saw were also removed from a pair of construction sites in the 13800 block of Pastel Road.
`No parking’ signs stolen
Three “no parking” signs were removed from their poles sometime between Sept. 12 and 14 near the intersection of Blackbird Way and Blackbird Circle in Highlands Ranch. The bolts and nuts were found in the grass sitting next to the respective poles. There are no suspects or leads at this time.

town just west of the building that now houses several businesses, including the current library, which is located in a storefront of about 1,600 square feet at 7437 Village Square Drive. Castle Pines Councilmember James Einolf explained in a past interview the Douglas County Library District owned a building lot at one time, but didn’t like the location — which was near the Castle Pines Metro District office at 4707 Yorkshire Drive. The metro district wanted the land and bought it from the library district, which then used the money to buy books for the area. So, the money stayed in the city, Einolf said. Now, with the land bought by the city — and soon to be donated to the library, if the council gives final approval at a future second hearing — the library will take over from there. The city expects to recoup the money paid for the land when it no longer has to pay rent at its current office location at 7501 Village Square Drive and can move into the new library building for $12 a year for 10 years. Sam Bishop, Castle Pines’ community development director, said at the Sept. 24 council meeting that in the agreement, the city will hold a special warranty deed in escrow until a building permit is issued for the structure. The agreement also requires the library to be in operation for a minimum of 10 years

nar topics were wide ranging and included Empowerment by Dynamic Leadership, The Power of Saying “No”, Making Connections, Maximizing Social Media, Mastering Your Influence and Credibility, Creating Culture, Time and Stress Management, Branding Yourself and Your Business and Strategic Thinking. Throughout the day, the University of Colorado’s “Pink Lifesaver” mobile mammogram bus was parked in front of the hotel, offering free breast screening to any conference participant who wished. Others took the chance to sit in and experience the new 2014 Honda CRV and Mini convertible presented by Kuni Honda on Arapahoe and Schomp Automotive. The day ended with a Networking Cocktail event in order to allow the attendees the opportunity to unwind and share their experiences among themselves. A variety of WIL supporters held drawings for items such as gift baskets, and evenings out on the town during the event. The day’s events were sponsored by Safeway, University of Colorado Hospital, Park Meadows, and Schomp Automotive. The Chamber’s Women In Leadership Group brings together women of different backgrounds: business leaders, activists, educators, and many others. They feature influential and inspirational businesswomen as speakers at many Chamber investor sites to share their career path, the challenges they have overcome and new ways to help businesses of all sizes to prosper through Collaboration, Empowerment and Transformation .

Two will enter pleas stemming from chase Suspects to appear Oct. 28; officers cleared in shooting By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Two men suspected of endangering the public during a high-speed chase with police will enter their pleas before a judge. Clifford “CJ” Galley, 23, and David Vasquez, 24, will appear in Douglas County District Court at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 28 for an arraignment hearing in front of Judge Richard Caschette. The alleged co-conspirators are being tried together and are expected to enter pleas to the multiple felony charges filed against them during the hearing. Galley alone faces 35 charges stemming from a chase that began Feb. 23 in Castle Rock when police attempted to arrest him on a warrant for assault on an officer. Prosecutors say Galley was driving a large pickup truck at high speeds and allegedly fired several shots at pursuing law enforcement agencies while driving north on Crowfoot Valley Road to Parker. He also allegedly swerved toward officers as they attempted to stop the vehicle. Three Parker police officers who fired their weapons at the vehicle were put on leave immediately after the chase, but were cleared of any wrongdoing following an investigation by the 18th Judi-
cial District Attorney’s Office. Chief deputy district attorney Karen Pearson made the “final determination based upon evidence and statements obtained during the investigation that all three Parker Police Officers involved in the incident acted either in defense of themselves or pursuant” to guidelines in the Colorado Revised Statutes, the investigation report says. A passenger in the suspects’ vehicle, Gwen Devilbiss, 19, was hit by a bullet and taken to a hospital. She was the only person injured during the pursuit. Devilbiss has not been charged. It is unclear how many shots were fired by police. The names of the officers have not been released, but they are back on active duty, said Doreen Jokerst, public information officer for the Parker Police Department. A county court judge imposed a gag order requested by Galley’s public defender, Helen Hoopes, despite objections from prosecutors. The order sealed all case documents and barred those involved from speaking publicly about it. The move was unusual, as gag orders are typically put in place for cases with sensitive information. Galley, of Northglenn, faces seven counts of attempted first-degree murder of a peace officer, along with a slew of other charges. Vasquez, of Federal Heights, has been charged with three counts of attempted first-degree murder, vehicular eluding, two counts of possession of a weapon by a previous offender and theft by receiving.

78 million gallons and counting Diversion dam directs excess creek flows into Rueter-Hess By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Unusually heavy rains have dumped millions of gallons of water into Rueter-Hess Reservoir, and saturated soils have excess flows continuing to pour in. The Parker Water and Sanitation District is taking advantage of the wet weather by using its diversion dam on Cherry Creek near Stroh Road. In the last two weeks, it has helped redirect 240 acre-feet of rainwater into Rueter-Hess. That’s 78,204,342 gallons, courtesy of Mother Nature. It’s among the few upsides to the soaking rains that have resulted in historic floods, displacing thousands in the north metro area, decimating roads and homes and taking eight lives along the way. Parker was spared the brunt of the monsoonal flows from the south, but experienced some minor flooding on roads and in basements, said Tom Williams, stormwater manager for the Town of Parker. The PWSD, for the first time this year, raised its diversion structure and pulled off as much as 10,000 gallons per minute during the peak of the first day of storms. Then, just as the weekend was approaching, Cherry Creek was “called out” — in other words, those with downstream water rights declared their privileges to the flows, said Ron Redd, district manager for the PWSD. “We were pulling quite a bit off for a while,” he said. “When they put the call out, it was frustrating with all of that flooding.”
The district worked with a local water commissioner, who grants requests from water rights owners, and was able to lift the restrictions the following day. “We’ve been pumping ever since then,” Redd said. Some of the rainwater has entered Rueter-Hess through Newlin Gulch, the drainage channel into which the reservoir was built. But much of the work has been done with the diversion dam, which was finished in 2006. It has gotten little use in recent years because of the low water level in Cherry Creek; the PWSD, however, captures alluvial flows from the creek. The reservoir is a tool for the district to store excess flows, but if there is a call out on the river, the district must release that water, as it did last summer after heavy rains deluged northern Castle Rock, Franktown and areas south of Parker. “It wasn’t our water to keep,” Redd said. But because Parker Water has been free to collect excess flows for nearly the last two weeks, it has put away $120,000 worth of water. It’s a “one-time shot,” but it’s one with long-term benefits, Redd said. The water will help fill reservoirs in eastern Colorado. It was so dry last year that it took a long period of time for the spring melt to fill the reservoirs. Even the lightest rains are having positive consequences. The daily amount of water going into Rueter-Hess dropped from 50 acre-feet, to 12, to five, then went back up to 7½ acre-feet after a small shower. The saturated soils can quickly dry up, so Redd is enjoying the benefits of having the diversion dam and readily available storage.

Lone Tree chamber leader leaves group Director headed organization during 2013 Taste of Lone Tree By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Lone Tree Chamber Executive Director Linda Harmon, on the job for seven months, resigned Sept. 24. Chamber founder and board member Donna Russell will serve as interim director during the search for a new leader. Russell and chamber chairman Tim Kelly declined multiple opportunities to comment on Harmon’s resignation. Harmon

also did not return calls requesting comment. A press release signed by Kelly said Harmon “has elected to pursue other opportunities where she can best use her talents.” Harmon was at the helm of the chamber during the problem-plagued 2013 Taste of Lone Tree. The well-attended two-day event suffered from a downturn in restaurant participants; inadequate staffing, food and alcohol; and muddy, rain-soaked grounds that delayed its Aug. 11 opening. Some local business owners and participants sharply criticized the event, prompting the chamber to host a debriefing session with them. Chamber officials have not yet said
whether the event, which had been held annually for six years, will continue. The chamber’s release thanked Harmon for helping rebrand the chamber’s logo, reorganize the office and boost membership, but continued: “As with any organization’s evolution and our desire to grow services to our membership, priorities shift.” Harmon helped create a Healthcare Commission and coordinated a June panel discussion in Lone Tree on changes in national health care. She had planned to create more such groups, and cited among her goals with the chamber “to be more of service to the community, both the business and residential community.”
She was a former marketing and public relations director for the Denver/Boulder Better Business Bureau. The chamber release said the board has assembled a team to lead the search for a new director, and hopes to have a new person on board quickly. “We are proud of our many accomplishments over the past several years and look forward to many more going forward,” it read. Harmon replaced former chamber director Michelle Holbrook, who resigned in late 2012 to become the director of Denver’s Christian Youth Theater. The Lone Tree Chamber was established in 2006; Holbrook was its first paid director.

Play has themes of schemes and dreams ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’ on stage at Town Hall By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The audience files in at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center to see a set with white balustrades against a blue sky — the sort that mark a promenade along the seashore in towns on the French Riviera. Lighting will change the mood, but we know where we are. David Yazbek’s lively score kicks in, played by musicians on a marble-railed balcony set high on the side. Palm trees on wheels glide in and a procession of dancers in glitzy gowns and tuxedos follows as the lights go up on a truly delightful musical bonbon: “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” directed by the skilled Nick Sugar. Based on a 1988 movie with Michael Caine, Steve Martin and Glen Hedley, the
musical opened on Broadway in 2005 with book by Jeffrey Lane and lyrics and score by David Yazbek. The con is on at a Riviera hotel as Lawrence (Keegan Flaugh), Andre (Brian Murray) and the ensemble sing “Give Them What They Want” (schmoozing wealthy women). Lawrence, a smooth operator, talks about getting those gullible women to “make the check out to cash.” His buddy Andre, chief of police, keeps an eye out for new arrivals with potentially fat purses. Enter an older woman, Muriel, played by a charming Margie Lamb, who reminisces: “What Was a Woman to Do?” Andre takes note and another story begins. Word comes that another con man is in the territory — a threat to Lawrence’s operations? Freddy (Tim Howard) is as casual at Lawrence is classy — with a sob story about a poor old sick grandma who needs money. The two joust a bit verbally and figure they can work the scene
together. Their joint number, “All About Ruprecht,” is devised to get rid of Oklahoma heiress Jolene, who has gotten too seriously interested in Lawrence — and packs a pistol. It gives Howard a chance to show his bent for physical comedy as Ruprecht, supposedly Lawrence’s brother, intellectually-challenged and randy to an extreme. (Probably not politically correct, but very funny.) American heiress Christine (Rachel Wood) appears on the scene and both men fall for her. The show goes on with several parallel story lines, bubbly score and clever dance numbers — as well as some mutual bamboozling. With Sugar’s sure direction and Donna Debreceni’s band, the pace never lets up — what will happen next? You’ll need to visit Town Hall and find out! “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” is onstage until Oct. 13, in the theater at 2450 W. Main St. in Littleton. For tickets, go to www.townhallartscenter.com or call 303794-2787.
‘Colorado Creates’ grants go to local groups State money is match for federal NEA funds By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com In early summer, word went out to Colorado’s arts organizations announcing nine regional review panels across the state would consider applications for “Colorado Creates” grants. In fiscal year 2012-13, 133 grants totaled $1,048,500; for 2013-14, 150 grants were announced on Sept. 23, totaling $1,125,000. The state arts agency, Colorado Creative Industries, serves both large and small communities, and organizations from Arapahoe and Douglas counties were included in the new awards. Margaret Hunt, director of Colorado Creative Industries, said: “These grants support the artists and creative entrepreneurs who are critical to Colorado’s economy. There are over 186,000 jobs in our state’s creative sector, making it the fifthlargest employment cluster.”
Funding comes from a combination of state money, budgeted by the legislature, as a matching grant for National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) funds. “This year shows a nice state increase,” Hunt said. “We had been severely cut back.” Panelists, who are from the state’s arts community, are happy to be able to fund more projects, she said. On Aug. 20, Arapahoe and Douglas county organization representatives, as well as applicants from Jefferson, Boulder and Adams counties, met with a panel at the Daniels Fund offices in Denver at scheduled intervals to ask for either operating support or project support. Grants ranged from $4,000 to $10,000, for activities taking place between Oct. 1, 2013, and Sept. 30, 2014. Over 50 percent of funds are awarded outside of the Denver metro area. • Arapahoe County grantees: Arapahoe Philharmonic — $6,500 Cherry Creek Chorale — $6,500 City of Aurora Cultural Services — $10,000 Colorado Humanities — $10,000 Downtown Aurora Visual Arts — $7,500
Littleton Children’s Chorale (Young Voices) — $7,500 Littleton Town Hall Arts Center — $10,000 Vintage Theatre Productions — $7,500 • Douglas County grantees: City of Lone Tree, Lone Tree Arts Center — $10,000 The Wildlife Experience — $10,000 Town of Parker Cultural Division — $10,000 A complete list for the entire state is available online at coloradocreativeindustries.org. Colorado Creative Industries is a division of the Office of Economic Development and International Trade. A 2008 study, commissioned by the NEA, showed 186,251 jobs in the state associated with creative enterprises and creative occupations. Employee earnings, including benefits, were $5 billion. An NEA-commissioned study also found that Colorado ranks fifth among all states for concentration of artists. Creative industries are divided into six subgroups: design, film and media, heritage, literary and publishing, performing arts, and visual arts and crafts.
I have the deepest respect for Denver restaurant owner and super chef Jennifer Jasinski (Rioja, Bistro Vendome, Euclid Hall) for her stellar performance in Bravo’s “Top Chef Masters,” which ended sadly not in her favor on Sept. 25. In losing, as part of the final three, she was nothing but gracious, of course. Here’s what James Oseland, editor-in-chief of Saveur magazine, had to say about the end results: “I thought I had a handle on Jennifer’s excellence as a cook, and then during the finale meal, she served us her paella gnocchi. My God, it was the single best dish I ate all season — so perfectly balanced, so beautifully executed, so lovely to look at. Unfortunately, for her chances at winning the season, her other three courses — while very, very good — didn’t come anywhere near the glory of that dish. Still, if we’re handing out prizes for individual plates of food, this one is the season five gold-medal winner.” Not to be overlooked was her remarkable job of snaring the most money for her charity: $35,000 for Work Options for Women, a Denver nonprofit that teaches food service skills to women in poverty. “I have no regrets at all about this experience,” Jasinski said after being defeated by chef Douglas Keane. “Top Chef Masters” win or lose aside, Sept. 25 was still a good day for the Denver chef. Two of her restaurants, Rioja and Euclid Hall, were named among the Top 25 Best Restaurants in the October edition of 5280 magazine.
Another Boulder best
The University of Colorado-Boulder is back in the top 10. No, not its football program, but on Playboy magazine’s top 10 party schools. CU ranked third in Playboy’s 2013 list in the October issue. West Virginia University topped the list, followed by the University of Wisconsin. CU topped the list in 2011 and has been a regular in Playboy’s poll, which began as the top 40 party colleges in 1987. CU did not make the list a year ago. This year’s list was determined by Playboy’s editors, who used data from resources including the National Center for Education Statistics, the NCAA and the U.S. Economic Census, as well as feedback from Playboy’s more than 12 million social media fans. The 2012 top party school, University of Virginia, failed to make the 2013 list.
Restaurant Week does the splits
Denver Restaurant Week(s), one of the most popular events in town for the generous portions for a small price, is doing a double take by splitting its personality with two weeks spaced out during the year. In observation of the event’s 10th anniversary, Visit Denver’s Denver Restaurant Week will double the fun by holding one week from Feb. 22-28 and a second week Aug. 23-29. The new price per meal per person is $30, FYI ... Not a bad deal when you factor in inflation with the cost of food, etc. As Parker continues on Page 21

Croquet makes a helpful impact Game brings generations together while boosting dementia patients By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com James Creasey figures he has helped initiate 400,000 smiles since he started Jiminy Wicket five years ago. This year he wants to accomplish 2½ times that. The organization, which brings together generations over the game of croquet to positively impact those suffering from different forms of dementia, was founded after Creasey experienced a breakthrough with his own father over a game six years ago. “I had no idea what I was going to do with my father in the silence and the confusion that he was experiencing,” Creasey said. “It terrified me.” While vacationing in his native England with his father and mother, Creasey, who had never played croquet with his father growing up, discovered there was a course at the resort where they were staying and thought a game might be a good idea. What an idea it turned out to be. “I took him up there after breakfast on the first day,” Creasey said. “As he hit the ball, he smiled, and I thought, `Whoa, this is all right.’” Creasey played with his father every day for two weeks and commissioned his brother to buy him a croquet set once va-

cation was over and Creasey returned to Denver. “I started getting emails and phone calls from my nephews and my nieces saying, ‘This is incredible, we don’t have to just sit in the silence with papa anymore.’ “After that I started this program with the Alzheimer’s Association here in Colorado to see if I could put a smile on a few more faces. I thought if I could make a halfdozen more people smile, I’d die a happy man.” Creasey wasn’t satisfied with a half-dozen people, though, and now has his sights on achieving a million smiles between two generations over croquet — this year alone. On Sept. 20, one day before World Alzheimer’s Day — and the four-year anniversary of his father’s death — Creasey was at the Rockefeller Center in New York City launching the “Through Hoops to Hope” program to pair Alzheimer’s patients with high school students in 100 schools from coast to coast. Forty of those schools, including Kent Denver and Regis Jesuit, are located in Colorado. None of this would have happened, however, without Roy and Fay Whitney. When Creasey ran out of funding to take his program any further, the couple, who live part-time at Vi at Highlands Ranch, stepped forward and provided him with enough funding to keep his program going and take it to the next level. “It’s nice to share with people who are further down the line than you are,” said Roy. “At our age it’s easy to say, `I don’t know what the next 10 years are going to bring.”

you may recall, in several of the previous years, Denver Restaurant Week was two weeks, which in many cases put a mad crush on diner volumes, although the financial gains, in many cases, were well worth the effort. “A summer version of the event offers restaurants a lot of interesting serving and meal options,” said Richard Scharf, president and CEO of Visit Denver, the creator and organizer of DRW. “Restaurants will be able to offer outdoor dining and feature fresh Colorado produce. We anticipate that summer menus will be very different from the winter ones, and they will be able to showcase the farm-to-fork movement that is so popular in the state.” In 2013, a record 355 participating restaurants served 436,650 meals.

Cider Days coming in Lakewood
The 38th annual Cider Days
Fay, who has spent 50 years as a nurse and is the professor emeritus of the Fay W. Whitney School of Nursing at the University of Wyoming, is in for another reason. “I’ve been working with the elderly for a long time, and now I am one,” she said. “One of the things I have noted in taking care of people with Alzheimer’s or dementia is that they are isolated, not just by themselves, but by everyone.”
The program helps eliminate that isolation, by providing social engagement, physical exercise and cognitive stimulation for the seniors. It also brings smiles to all involved, and that, Creasey says, is how, “when there is no language, no words, no ability to string a sentence together,” one can tell it is working. For background and information about Jiminy Wicket, go to www.jiminywicket.org.

“Around the World in 80 Days,” adapted by Mark Brown from the adventure novel by Jules Verne, plays through Oct. 27 and is a Creede Repertory Company production, presented in the Arvada Center’s black box theater, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays; 1 p.m. Wednesdays; 2 p.m. Saturdays, Sundays.

Duesberry retrospective opens at museum Greenwood Village painter prefers working outdoors By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Prolific painter Joellyn Duesberry, a Greenwood Village resident, opens a retrospective exhibit of her oil paintings Oct. 5 at the Loveland Museum/Gallery, where it will remain until January 12, 2014. A variety of events, classes and public programs will accompany the exhibition. Duesberry’s website artist statement speaks of her preference for painting “en plein air,” outdoors, when weather permits. She has created an oversized easel structure that can secure her large canvases in the windy and adverse conditions she sometimes experiences, especially in the west. In bad weather, she sometimes makes monoprints from her paintings and may tear them to create collages. “From my first landscape painting, I became a part of the landscape, with a good animal understanding of it while within it,” she said. Paintings in the exhibit range from small canvases to massive triptychs and represent her work from the 1980s to today. Her distinctive style presents strong, swooping, sometimes swirling brushstrokes in earth
tones and natural greens that draw a viewer into the site. Primarily self-taught, she began her painting career in New York City, but in 1986, she got a National Endowment for the Arts grant to paint for a month if yOu gO with wellknown CaliThe Loveland Museum/ fornia abstract Gallery is at 503 N.

Young playwright’s work recognized ‘Very Special Arts’ award goes to Arapahoe student By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Mickey Liebrecht, an Arapahoe High School junior, was one of nine high school students from across the nation who received the 2013 VSA (Very Special Arts) Playwright Discovery Awards. It meant a weekend of participation in pre-professional activities at the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., working with the other students and theater professionals — actors, directors, playwrights — who coached and mentored the young artists as they refined their skills. The competition encourages high school students to look at their world and address how disability affects lives. The play could be about real or fictional characters. The 2013 recipients were chosen from more than 150 applicants. Liebrecht’s play, “Broken Bodies,” was one of three selected for a professional stage reading, and a 10-minute excerpt, her Scene Five, was live-streamed from the Millenium Stage on Sept. 1, broadcast on the Kennedy Center website and archived for the future.
Mickey Liebrecht, Arapahoe High School junior, was a winner in the VSA Playwright Discovery Competition and spent a weekend at the Kennedy Center with eight other national winners. Courtesy photo “Broken Bodies” focuses on a traditional Southern family, with a controlling mother who wants to schedule deaf Alaine for cochlear implant surgery, which she
resists. She reads lips and uses sign language. “Why wouldn’t she want it?” the mother asks. The girl says, “I like the way I am.” (This subject reflects an ongoing de-
bate regarding treatment of deafness.) “I had been watching ‘Switched at Birth,’” Liebrecht said regarding the inspiration for her play. The award-winning TV series in the first to use deaf and hard-ofhearing actors and scenes shot in American Sign Language. At the Kennedy Center, “I got to meet real directors and mentors and was told to ‘keep running with it.’ … Seeing it performed onstage, I thought I was daydreaming,” said Liebrecht, who was the youngest playwright there. VSA, a program of the Kennedy Center, was founded 35 years ago by Ambassador Jean Kennedy Smith to provide arts and education opportunities for people with disabilities and increase access to the arts for all. The AHS student is a longtime member of the Young Voices of Colorado choir, where she learned to read and make music. She is enrolled in honors and AP courses and will continue to write — a craft she has pursued since fifth grade, when a teacher who recognized a budding talent urged her mother to bribe her if necessary to keep her interested in writing. “I daydreamed a lot,” she recalls. We will want to watch for her name in lights some day in the future.
Business of the Month
Castle Rock Adventist Health Campus
2013 COLORADO LOTTERY
STARBURST AWARD
Michael Likens, Chairman of the Board, proudly presents the Business of the Month award to Todd Folkenberg and members of the hospital staff as Chamber staff and ambassadors show their support.
The Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce recently announced its September recipient for Business of the Month — Castle Rock Adventist Health Campus. As part of the Centura Health Network who have been active Castle Rock Chamber member for more than 10 years, their newest location Castle Rock Adventist Health Campus opened Aug.1st and offers 24-hour care locally.
Our new neighbor makes available a local choice for those seeking hospital care, further fulfilling the Town’s Vision 2020 goal of facilitating the development of a 24hour medical facility in Castle Rock. (The 24-hour emergency room attached to the hospital opened in 2012 bers- years ago). “After years of planning and development, stra- our team is excited the day has finally come for us to 5:30 open Castle Rock’s first hospital and start providing compassionate care and comprehensive services to our community,” CEO Todd Folkenberg said.
n an
The 50-bed Castle Rock Adventist Hospital, 2350 Meadows Blvd., connects Castle Rock to Colorado’s largest health care system, Centura Health. Expert providers at the state-of-the-art facility specialize in areas including orthopedics; emergency. Pediatric and cardiac services; intensive care; radiology/imaging; rehabilitation; and sleep disorders. The hospital also gives expecting parents a local option for bringing the newest Castle Rock residents into the world. The West-facing labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum rooms are complete with small chandeliers and fold-down couches, where dad can catch some sleep. “We know Centura Health and Castle Rock Adventist Hospital are a wonderful addition to our community, and we look forward to a long-term and positive partnership,” Mayor Paul Donahue said. Residents of Castle Rock and beyond no doubt are excited about this new neighbor. Enthusiasm may cause the new hospital to grow quickly – the building’s fourth floor is a blank slate, offering room for expansion in any needed area at just a few months notice. Congratulations from the Castle Rock Chamber for being recognized as an outstanding business.

Anniversary show set for Mission Hills Church By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The Arapahoe Philharmonic performs its “60th Anniversary Celebration Concert” on Oct. 11, conducted by Devin Patrick Hughes in his first year at the orchesif you go tra’s helm. The orchestra plays The Arapahoe Philharin the large sancmonic’s 60th Anniversary tuary of Mission Concert will be at 7:30 p.m. Hills Church in Oct. 11 at Mission Hills Littleton. Church, 620 Southpark Pianist Jamie Drive, Littleton. Tickets: Shaak will be $25/$20/$5, 303-781-1893, featured solowww.arapahoe-phil.org. ist, performing the “Egyptian Piano Concerto” by Saint-Saens, which Hughes describes as “rarely played and undeservedly so.” Shaak, a Denver native, has a long history of performing with the orchestra. Also on the program: Stravinsky’s “Fire-
bird Suite” and Berlioz’s “Roman Carnival Overture.” “Along with bringing in a scent of opera with Berlioz’s `Roman Carnival Overture’ (originally taken from his initially-failed, but wonderful opera `Benvenuto Celinni’), and a taste of ballet, this concert has a taste of exoticism,” Hughes said in a news release. “Stravinsky’s music to the `Firebird’ was the beginning of a style that would shatter the music world by challenging the very nature of dance and art music. `The Firebird’ is marked by a gorgeous, rich and romantic, although at times foreboding, atmosphere and a triumphant finale, that would not be repeated in his following ballets, ‘Petrochka’ and `Rites of Spring.’” The orchestra learned recently that it had received a grant of $10,000 from Colorado Creative Industries to support its 60th season celebration. It also receives funds from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District and from individuals. Future programs will include: “Carmina Burana” on Nov. 8; a holiday concert on Dec. 6; “Made in America” on Feb. 7; “Classic Traditions” on March 14 and “Love’s Arrow” (“Carmen” highlights in concert) on May 9.

Huskies win defensive battle Douglas County downs Mountain Vista 10-7 By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com There were not many offensive highlights during the Continental League opener between Douglas County and Mountain Vista on Sept. 26 at Shea Stadium. It was a defensive struggle, and Douglas County’s Huskies prevailed with a 10-7 triumph over the Golden Eagles. “It wasn’t about the highlights, it was about the win,” said Douglas County senior linebacker Zach Barlow. “It felt great. I knew from last week the defense had to step up and bounce back. We did and we pulled it off. There’s nothing better than coming out with a W.” Douglas County, 4-1 overall, lost its first game of the season Sept. 20, when Rocky Mountain notched a 42-21 upset over a Huskies squad that was ranked fifth in the state at the time. “Our defense, considering how we played against Rocky Mountain — which wasn’t very well — came out with an attitude and beat a pretty good team,” said Douglas County coach Jeff Ketron. “It wasn’t pretty if you like offense, but defensively I thought it was a masterpiece.” Barlow paced the Douglas County defensive effort with 10 tackles. The Huskies had six quarterback sacks, with Tomatea Bartlett credited with 2.5 sacks. Mountain Vista punted six times and turned the ball over on downs twice in the second half. Mountain Vista finished with 133 yards total offense while the Huskies managed to gain 237 yards. In the scoreless second half, the teams combined for 139 yards in total offense, with the Golden Eagles limited to just 28 yards. “We only rushed three and the defensive line just played hard,” explained Ketron. “We tell our kids all the time, it’s not a magic trick. You have to work for success, it’s earned and not given, and that’s what
Douglas County’s quarterback Rope Ruel (11) prepares to launch a pass in the Sept. 26 game against Mountain Vista. The pass was complete and the Huskies won the tough battle, 10-7. they did.” Douglas County scored on its first drive of the game, with Trey Smith scoring on a 54-yard run. It was a vintage sprint for Smith, the 6-foot-1 senior who has committed to play for Colorado State. Smith, who rushed for 133 yards on 21 carries, took a pitch, raced around the corner, cut back and outran Mountain Vista defenders into the end zone. “Hips, hips and gone, that looked pretty good,” said Ketron. Wyatt Bryan tacked on the extra-point kick after Smith’s scoring scamper, then Bryan kicked a 47-yard field goal on the Huskies’ next possession as Douglas County went ahead 10-0 with 30 seconds remaining in the first quarter. Mountain Vista, aided by two Douglas County penalties, drove 80 yards in 14 plays
and cut the Huskies lead to 10-7 after Nick Schmalz scored on a 2-yard run. Schmalz’s TD and the extra point by Louie Sawaged with 6:44 to play in the second quarter were the last points scored in the game. “One mistake here and one breakdown here and we are staring at another defensive battle loss,” said Mountain Vista coach Ric Cash, who has watched his team lose its past two games by a total of four points. “It’s one of those things where time is going to help us, but as the season progresses we are starting to run out of time. We’ve got to get it right. We’ll work on it. I’m proud of our boys on how hard they fight and how hard they play.” Tyler Spond was in on 13 tackles to spark the Mountain Vista defensive effort. Luke Nelson and Preston Troxel each were cred-
ited with 11 total tackles. The Golden Eagles had a couple chances to mount a second-half comeback. After recovering a bad pitch in the third quarter at the Huskies’ 39-yard line, Mountain Vista moved to a first down at the 25yard line but wound up turning the ball over on downs at the 25 as Barlow sparked the defensive stand with two tackles for losses. Mountain Vista had a first down at the Huskies’ 41-yard line with 1:48 to play in the game, but the Golden Eagles lost 13 yards on the next four plays. Golden Eagles quarterback Brock Rubley was thrown for losses three times and he tossed an incomplete pass. “A minute to go we were in position to win it,” said Cash. “We just have to not shoot ourselves in the foot.” Douglas County, 4-1 overall, played without standout tackle Jamin, Smith but he could possibly return in two weeks from an injured knee. “It was like the first victory of the year,” said Ketron. “You have to get that first victory. Now you can settle down and play. The same thing happens in the league. We only have four games left and we have three straight at home. We have Regis (Oct. 4), then ThunderRidge (Oct. 11) and Highlands Ranch (Oct. 17), so we just have to keep getting better.” Douglas County finishes the regular season Oct. 24 on the road against Chaparral. Mountain Vista, 2-4, plays Chaparral Oct. 4, and Cash is hoping his injury list is reduced. Running back Tanner Smith is lost for the season. Standout wide receiver Rocco Palumbo saw limited action against Douglas County because of an ankle injury, and running back Michael Evans, who had run for 36 yards on four carries, left the game in the first quarter after twisting his ankle. “It makes it a struggle offensively and puts a lot of pressure on some kids that shouldn’t have that much pressure, shouldn’t have to bear that burden,” said Cash. “I know the offensive line feels like it’s all their fault and it’s not. It’s a team game.”

Ponderosa shuts out ThunderRidge Mustang midfielder’s goals lead to 3-0 league victory By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Colton Carr racked up six points for Ponderosa, but he didn’t kick two field goals. Carr, the Mustangs’ senior midfielder who doubles as the placekicker for the football team, scored three second-half goals to lead Ponderosa to a 3-0 Continental League soccer victory over ThunderRidge Sept. 24 at Sports Authority Stadium. His three goals, worth six points in soccer statistics, were too much for ThunderRidge to overcome in a match in which it didn’t appear for a while that either team would score. Ponderosa had a few good scoring opportunities in the first half, but two shots sailed wide, and ThunderRidge keeper Andrew Lundberg made an excellent save on an attempt by Mustangs forward David Patterson. “The first half was pretty frustrating because I felt like we did really good and we had good chances,” said Carr. “I felt we should have been up at half. Coming out in the second half we had intensity and that was important.” Ponderosa coach Jim Engels had a productive talk with his team at halftime. “We kind of go in spurts. We’re not super consistent and don’t play a full 80 minutes,” said Engels. “I felt like we should have been up two or three at half. I think if you play enough offense and press them enough you are going to score eventually. “We had those chances, one (versus) ones on the keeper, but we just didn’t finish them. The keeper made one good save and missed the other two. We talked a little at halftime and got Colton to get a little more active. Something worked because he got three goals.”
Ponderosa defender Adam Rowland controls the ball while the Mustangs’ Colton Carr (10), Matt Goodrich (1) and ThunderRidge’s Jacob Sloan (17) follow the ball. Photo by Jim Benton Matt Goodrich, Lars Peterson and Patterson were credited with assists on Carr’s three goals. Carr spends about 20 minutes working with the Ponderosa special teams at football practice during a typical non-game day, and then goes to soccer practice. “I like both sports,” said Carr. “I just like playing, I like to compete. Your steps have to be right on for you to have a good kick in football. In soccer you can have any kind of steps you want. “I’ve had to block a little bit, but not really tackle anyone in a football game. I’ve had to push people off of me, get around them but I haven’t really got hit. I’ve been
hit in practice but I haven’t hit someone yet.” Ponderosa’s soccer team is hoping to be a hit in the Class 4A soccer playoffs this season. The Mustangs, 7-2 and 5-1 in the Class 5A Continental League, followed the ThunderRidge victory with a 4-0 conquest of Heritage Sept. 26. Carr had two goals and an assist against the Eagles, while Peterson and Cameron Knox had the other two goals. “I’ve been here 14 years at Ponderosa and this is the most talented team we’ve had,” said Engels. “They play well together. They are progressing but still have to be
more consistent. We’re getting there slowly. “We got upset in the playoffs last year; our goal is to get in there and make a long run. Every one of our games in this league is tough. We are getting better. We need to work on a few things.” Carr, who has converted 17 extra-point kicks and made a 36-yard field goal for the Ponderosa football team, has nine goals and two assists for 20 points in nine soccer games. ThunderRidge, 3-6 and 2-4 in league play, recovered from the Ponderosa loss and whipped Chaparral 4-1 on Sept. 26. Jacob Sloan, Colin McIllece, Kyle Henry and Erick Meza scored for the Grizzlies.
Seniors help fuel Jaguars’ softball surge Rock Canyon tops Legend to tie for league lead By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Class 5A regional state softball playoff action is scheduled to start Oct. 12 and Rock Canyon appears ready. The Jaguars lost three of their first five games this season, but moved into a firstplace Continental League tie with Legend after a 5-1 triumph over the Titans Sept. 28. Rock Canyon, 11-4 overall, and Legend, 12-4, are both 6-1 in the league with three regular-season games remaining. The Titans played Castle View Sept. 30 and Highlands Ranch Oct. 2, with the league finale against Regis Jesuit scheduled Oct. 5. Legend played Heritage Sept. 30 and Chaparral Oct. 1. The Titans meet Mountain Vista Oct. 4. “We are definitely peaking at the right time,” said Rock Canyon senior pitcher
Lauren Paige. “The Legend game was really needed for our confidence. We have to win out going forward into the playoffs.” Jaguars coach Debora Kortbawi notes the seven seniors on her team have been ringleaders to Rock Canyon’s late season surge. “I don’t ever think you can write these girls off, they won’t allow you to,” she said. “Our seniors stepped up and started bringing the intensity. “This senior class is just ridiculous. They’ve been through this for four years. They know what it takes to get to the Final Four. They said now is the time to bring up the intensity.” Rock Canyon has played its way into the Class 5A Final Four the past three seasons and appears to be playing well down the stretch again this year. Freshman Sloane Stewartson delivered a two-run double down the right field line in the second inning to push the Jaquars ahead 2-0 in the showdown game against the Titans that was moved from Rock Can-
OCTOBER PACE
yon to Legend because of unplayable field conditions. Paige had an RBI single in the third while Shen Lu Swartout and Lauren Yacks came through with run-scoring singles in the fourth and fifth innings to stake Rock Canyon to a 5-0 lead. Legend was not able to produce the big hits despite scattering seven hits off Paige, who struck out four and worked out of jams in the fifth and sixth frames. The Titans loaded the bases with one out in the fifth, but Paige induced two ground ball force-outs to end the Legend uprising. Legend had runners on first and second with nobody out in the sixth, but a po-up to third base and a comeback grounder to Paige that wound up as a double play because of a Titans base running blunder short-circuited another Titans’ scoring opportunity. “I have all the confidence in the world in my defense,” said Paige. “I just knew if I made them put the ball in play, the defense would make some spectacular plays and
they did. “I have one of the best defenses in the entire state. I don’t have to worry about doing it by myself.” Grabbing the lead early against the Titans was a key to the victory. “The one good thing about this team this year is they are very focused,” said Kortbawi. “They are very good with their communication. We had a good lead against Legend. We talked about getting the lead from the beginning. That gave us a little bit where we could focus on getting the outs and not focus on not letting the runners score.” Legend did score in the seventh after Karlee Arnold’s one-out triple. She scored on a fielder’s choice grounder by Brooke Doumer. Arnold and Robyn Leighton each had two hits for the Titans. Swartout, Paige, Stewartson and Zayne Blumberg collected two hits to lead Rock Canyon’s 11-hit attack against Legend pitcher Janelle Gardner.
