‘People’s moods this year are very different’

AUTUMN JOY

Unpopular candidates and a polarized electorate typify 2016 presidential race By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Dorothy Dhooge, 82, has watched a lot of election cycles come and go, but this year’s presidential race may be the most divisive she’s seen. Dhooge, an Arapahoe County resident, said the tension has caused her to avoid talking politics with some of her own family members. “We steer clear of it,” she said, adding that she thinks the divisions run beyond just her own family. “I think it’s split people in the country.” Kyle Saunders says she’s right. “It’s no wonder people feel that there’s a little more hate, it’s no wonder that people feel that society’s a little more on edge,” said Saunders, a political-science professor at Colorado State University since 2004. “It’s because it is.” “Basically what we are seeing is a reflexive dislike for somebody on the other side, and the fear that goes along with that,” Saunders said. Pundits, pollsters and people on the street have all pointed to this year’s election as the most polarizing in recent history. Some blame the divide on the candidates themselves, some on their disparate approaches to government.

It was a pumpkin kind of day for Centennial resident Corbin Connolly, just 12 months old and fascinated with the orange globes and their smaller gourd counterparts. Along with his mom, Shannon, dad and grandparents, he enjoyed a sun-warmed autumn morning Oct. 8 of apple-picking, haywagon rides and more at Schweiger Ranch’s annual fall festival in Lone Tree. “We came just to have fun and pick out a pumpkin — the whole nine yards,” Shannon said.

Child’s death is ‘a loss for all of us’ Lone Tree plans fundraiser for former ofﬁcer’s family, who lost 2-year-old daughter By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunity

African Children’s Choir to perform Music for Life helps by providing education

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com When the African Children’s Choir steps onstage at the Good Shepherd Episcopal Church in Centennial on Oct. 19, these children will bring a message of hope for many others in Africa. Music for Life, the parent organization, was formed over 30 years ago by Canadian Ray Barnett, who started in Uganda, where he was charmed and inspired by a little boy’s singing. The organization now works in seven countries in Africa, providing stable homes and education for many young children. A number of them have been orphaned by the ongoing wars, and others are from families who don’t have enough food or money to pay for schooling. That first tour raised enough money to build a home at Makere for choir members and others who needed care.

IF YOU GO The African Children’s Choir will sing at 7 p.m. on Oct. 19, at the Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, 8525 E. Dry Creek Road, Centennial. Admission is free, but a free will offering will be welcomed. 303-740-2688. Subsequent tours have provided six more homes and made it possible for these children to have an education, continued through secondary school. Many have gone on to higher education in Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa. MFL has educated more than 52,000 children and affected the lives of over 100,000 people with its relief and development programs. The children will sing favorite African songs as well as traditional spirituals and gospel favorites. They recently appeared at the Diamond Jubilee celebration for Queen Elizabeth II of England and have sung with Paul McCartney, Annie Lennox, Mariah Carey, Keith Urban and other well known musicians.

Tyler Patten, a former officer of the Lone Tree Police Department, was working the graveyard shift on July 22 when he found out his 2-year-old daughter, Lulu, had died unexpectedly in her sleep. “When she passed away,” Patten said, “it totally rocked our world.” Patten left his job shortly after. He wanted something safer, he said. He and his wife, Alli, have three other daughters — twins that were born in June and a 4-year-old. Lulu’s funeral was held on July 29 with more than 1,000 people in attendance. The casket, funded by South Metro Fire Rescue, was painted Lulu’s favorite color, sky blue, and decorated with Disney characters. The community outreach since his daughter’s death has been tremendous, Patten said. He’s received thousands of calls and letters from people near and far. “I think that’s the reason we are doing so well,” said Patten, who is getting ready to move from Roxborough to Parker. To show its support, the City of Lone Tree is hosting a Lanes for Lulu fundraiser on Oct. 23 at Bowlero Lone Tree — formerly Brunswick Zone XL — at 255 Kimmer Drive. From 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., teams of six will compete for prizes, including highest overall score, highest score without using the gutter, highest first responder team score, highest youth team score, best team name and best team costumes. The cost is $180 for a team of six players or $40 per individual. Lone Tree city manager Seth Hoffman said planning the event was a group effort. He and other city employees wanted to help the Patten family financially and show support. “It’s a family atmosphere here for all

Lulu, short for Luluana, Patten died unexpectedly in her sleep on July 22. Since then, the community has rallied around the Patten family, which includes Tyler, a former ofﬁcer of the Lone Tree Police Department, his wife, Alli, and their three other daughters — 4-month old twins and a 4-year-old.

of the employees,” Hoffman said. “When one of our family members has a loss like that, it’s a loss for all of us.” Sgt. Joseph Deland, who was Patten’s supervisor, worked the graveyard shift with Patten. The loss, he said, hit home for anyone in the police department who has kids. “As a parent, it is the worst thing in the world that could ever happen to you,” said Deland, who has a 2½-year-old daughter. “The strength that the Pattens have shown is truly unbelievable.” Deland signed up to partipate in Lanes for Lulu the second he heard about it. “As police officers, we want to fix things,” Deland said. “We can’t fix this. But whatever we can do, we will do.”

Workout studio hosts class for breast cancer awareness Proceeds benefit Stamped with Love, a glamsquad to help women feel beautiful again By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunity Valerie Franklin lost her cousin to breast cancer in 2008. A year later, she lost her aunt to the disease. To honor her family members, the Highlands Ranch resident started Stamped With Love, a group of photographers and makeup artists who provide their services for free to those battling breast cancer and breast cancer survivors. “It’s our celebration day — that’s what we call it,” Franklin said. “It’s an opportunity for them to forget about everything they are going through.” Franklin, a Realtor and former wedding photographer, hosts the special event in her basement, where she has a photography studio. She invites three to four women at a time so they can share their experiences while getting pampered for a photo shoot. “Not only is it makeup and hair,” she said, “it’s something that these women can take with them to remember that day.” Her goal, her website says, is to make women affected by breast cancer feel beautiful again. Stephanie Foster, a five-year survivor, had a photo shoot about a year ago with three other women, who are also longtime friends of hers. They went to Franklin’s house, had breakfast, drank champagne and talked. Foster, who has straight hair, had her hair curled and her makeup done. “It was a way to get our mind off the things we had been through,” said Foster, a Highlands Ranch resident. “It’s a time when you don’t have to worry about breast cancer.” A Highlands Ranch workout studio is raising money so more people, like Fos-

Ladies show off their ballet moves in a previous Plie for Pink class, hosted annually to raise funds for a breast cancer organization.

April Norris owns the women’s fitness studio called Xtend Barre. Every October — National Breast Cancer Awareness Month — she holds a fundraising event called Plié for Pink. Plié is a ballet movement, which is fitting for the ballet- and Pilates-based studio. Each year, funds from Plié for Pink go to a person or organization touched by the disease. Last year, Norris raised about $400 for a Highlands Ranch woman whose mother needed a double mastectomy, a procedure in which a doctor removes both breasts to remove as much of the cancer as possible. When she was choosing a person or organization to donate to this year, Norris thought of Franklin. The two have been friends for a couple of years. Norris will donate all funds from her Oct. 15 Plié

MORE ON STAMPED WITH LOVE Valerie Franklin, executive director and photographer of Stamped With Love, usually hosts about 15 to 20 photo shoots per year. Services last up to two hours and include professional makeup and hairstyling and a photo shoot with three to five wardrobe changes. Guests leave for Pink event to Stamped With Love. “We want to be able to touch a personal life,” said Norris, who lost her aunt to breast cancer. Plié for Pink will be at 9:45 a.m. Oct. 15 at the Xtend Barre studio, 3620 E. Highlands Ranch Parkway. Norris asks that guests register before the class online at www.xtendbarre.com/studio/ highlands-ranch or by phone at 303791-2100. The cost is $20 per person.

with a personal collage of up to 10 photos and a CD with 75-100 photos. She accepts referrals from those who know someone with breast cancer or a breast cancer survivor. Email valerie@stampedwithlove.org for more information. Norris will be accepting donations, from members and nonmembers, through the month of October. She also encourages guests to sport the color pink to the class. Her studio, she said, is a positive environment for women. “This is a place of friendship, challenge and change,” Norris said. “We challenge people to do things they don’t normally do — physically and in the community.”

South metro brewers hold their own Breweries from area are well-represented at Great American Beer Fest

By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Last year, 3 Freaks Brewery brought its staple beers to the Great American Beer Festival. But last week, the Highlands Ranch brewery showed off a different side. “This year,” brewer Jess Anderson said, “we brought our fun, experimental beers.” That would be, for instance, the Lloyd Christmas Peppermint Chocolate Porter, named for the “Dumb and Dumber” character. 3 Freaks Brewery was among a bevy of breweries from Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Lone Tree, Castle Rock and Parker that participated in the Great American Beer Festival, held Oct. 6-8 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. About 800 brewers from across the country, including more than 100 from Colorado, took part. For some of the newer breweries in the area, the festival was a chance to get exposure to beer drinkers who may not know of the options south of Denver. “Our green chile has probably been the most popular,” said Andy Nelson, co-owner of Lovaore Beer Works of Littleton. He was referring to the brewery’s Heisenberg Green Chile Pale Ale. It was the third year at the festival for Grist Brewing Com-

The experience was helpful for letting people know about south metro area breweries, Steve Nolan, of Grist, said. “It’s always fun here.” One of Grist’s more unusual offerings, the Ponche de Burro, proved popular. The cinnamonapple-pear beer is a perfect offering for early fall, Nolan noted.

Jeff Scharlau of Lone Tree Brewing Company said the brewery’s Hop Zombie IPA proved popular at Great American Beer Festival. “It’s super-hoppy. It’s a big beer,” he said. Dustin Croy, left, of 3 Freaks Brewery in Highlands Ranch, mans the brewery’s booth at Great American Beer Festival.

At Living the Dream Brewing’s table, Jerod Scott of the Highlands Ranch brewery said the Belgian raspberry ale was most popular. But not all popular beers at the festival were outside of the norm. Jeff Scharlau of Lone Tree Brewing Company said the Hop Zombie India Pale Ale was a favorite. And at Littleton’s 38 State Brewing Company, general manager Steve Schuett said its red and brown ales were among the most well-received.

Littleton public school teachers take time to look for answers Blocks of time let educators analyze data, strategize By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com In Littleton Public Schools, teachers and administrators want to know the answers to four questions: What is essential for students to learn? How will we know when each student has learned it? How will we respond when a student experiences difficulty in learning? How will we respond when a student already knows it? To answer those questions, teachers take part in professional learning communities. The district has set aside two hours 10 times a year for them to gather

and analyze data and discuss problems and solutions. The district began using professional learning communities in 2004, when they were a relatively new concept in education. “At that time, PLCs were relatively new,” Superintendent Brian Ewert said. “Now, 10 or 15 years later, there’s significant research out there.” In 2007, the board of education began the practice of having school start two hours late 10 days out of the year to make time for PLCs. Data supports the use of PLCs, Ewert said, and the district has begun to focus on how to use them more effectively. Euclid Middle School Principal Gary Hein said that the basic model of PLCs remains the same, but more commitment and consistency has been applied

over the years. “We’ve gotten more and more specific on what needs to be done,” said Hein. “The level of discussion here, uninterrupted, is almost impossible in a short block of time in a regular school day,” Hein said on Oct. 5, one of the late start days. Determining what is most important for students to know is not as obvious as it seems, Hein said, and priorities must be established. “The Colorado academic standards are so large and the world is moving so fast,” he said. In the communities, teachers split into groups to discuss how to implement education strategies. During the Oct. 5 PLC, a group of eighth-grade language arts teachers gathered in a classroom to look at Colorado Measure of Academic

Success test scores from last spring and develop grading rubrics. “Our goal is to get them to write using a claim, showing evidence and analysis,” said group facilitator Becky Hayes. Analyzing student performance and other functions of PLCs remains important even for high-performing school districts, Ewert said. “Complacency in school districts that are really good is a huge challenge.” The district is looking to spend even more time on PLCs next year as it looks to the future, which includes a more diverse student population for LPS, with more students coming from poverty or being English-language learners. “All of the things related to student learning take place in those meetings,” district spokeswoman Diane Leiker said.

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com A poll conducted by Monmouth University Polling Institute asked respondents about the tone and impacts of this year’s election campaign. The poll was conducted from Sept. 22 to Sept. 25, with a national random sample of 802 registered voters. Interviews were conducted in English, live, over the phone. The breakdown of respondents is as follows: 402 from a list of registered voters (201 landline and 201 cell phone) and 400 using random digit dial (200 landline and 200 cell phone).

Some questions and responses from the survey: Hoffman wouldn’t give her own reasons for supporting Trump, but said supporters she talks to are worried about safety and immigration. “Many people are concerned about their safety,” Hoffman said. “They have a fear of immigration and, whether it’s real or imagined, the illegal activity that comes with it, like human trafficking, drug smuggling and just general crime.” Hoffman acknowledged some of Trump’s comments are controversial, such as his criticism of Arizona Sen. John McCain’s heroism and of the Khans, a Gold Star family from Virginia whose son, Capt. Humayun Khan, died protecting his platoon in the Iraq War. But his statements haven’t fazed volunteers, she said.

Has this year’s presidential campaign brought out the best in people, brought out the worst in people, or has it done neither? 4% Brought out the best

— Shannon Vance, teacher, independent, Highlands Ranch

“I’d say the most important issue is the economy because we’re still having sluggish growth since the downturn in 2008. We haven’t fully recovered from that and I think people are still worried about jobs and the fact that incomes haven’t risen at the same rate as inflation. There’s still a lot of fear about out there about that, I think.” — Ben Lachman, registered nurse, Democrat, Castle Rock

30% Justified 65% Unjustified 1% Language is not harsh

70% Brought out the worst

4% Don’t know

20% Neither 5% Both

Do you think this harsh language tends to come more from supporters of Donald Trump, more from supporters of Hillary Clinton, or from supporters of both equally?

1% Don’t know Have you lost or ended any friendships because of this year’s presidential campaign, or has this not happened? 7% Yes, did lose/end friendship

“A lot of comments I hear are something like ‘I’m sorry for their loss but they’re a little disingenuous,’ ” she said. “Some people react negatively to what he says and some people applaud it.” The emotional tone of the campaign is largely a product of people too focused on political correctness and being “thin-skinned,” she said. Hoffman talks politics freely with her campaign co-workers, but said she and her friends steer discussions toward safer topics in social situations, for fear of offending each other. “It’s a strange year,” she said. “A lot of people don’t want to talk about politics this year. Many people are afraid of the reactions they’ll get.”

Community voices: “Foreign relations and foreign policy because I feel like there is a lot of turmoil in the world and the U.S. isn’t particularly viewed in a positive light.”

in politics today is justiﬁed or unjustiﬁed given the current state of the country?

‘Pitting people against each other’ Meredith Thatcher, 29, has supported Democrat Hillary Clinton since the day she announced her candidacy for president. The Colorado press secretary for the Clinton campaign likes the former U.S. senator’s foreign policy experience as Secretary of State and her plans to reform Wall Street. “She has concrete solutions for these problems,” Thatcher said. “Not just talking points.” The most common criticisms against Clinton, regarding her use of a private email account and claims she mishandled the attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, have been resolved, Thatcher said. “The 11 hours of testimony speak for themselves. She answered every question without tiring and without flinching,” Thatcher said. “To keep that story going is certainly a benefit to the Republican side… Election continues on Page 9

What do you believe is the most important issue in this presidential race, and why? “I believe that change is needed. I think some of the poor decisions the first Clinton made would be repeated because he would probably be one of her advisers.” — Marx Coleman, retired, Republican, Centennial

“Political and social divisiveness. It’s just my general feeling that we’re fighting now politically and socially more than any time I can remember.” — Glen Stearns, welder, Libertarian, Parker

“I would have to say that it is the economy. I just think that we’re in a bad place as far as our ability to retain the right companies in this country.” — Daniel Hall, contractor, Republican, Castle Rock

“I’m very concerned about the Supreme Court. If Trump gets in, good Lord, who knows what he will do. The next president will likely be nominating and putting into office two, three or four Supreme Court justices.” — Frank Haskins, retired, Democrat, Centennial

“I’m going to say partisanship over issues. Because we’re ignoring issues at the expense of being partisan.” — Brad Crooks, journalist, independent, Parker

It’s an attempt to spin old news that’s been pretty well dissected.” Thatcher, who worked on President Obama’s 2012 campaign, also feels there is a more antagonistic tone this time around. The cause, she said, can be traced back to Trump’s campaign announcement, when he called for a wall to keep out Mexican criminals and “rapists.” “As the campaign has gone on, the rhetoric has ramped up,” she said. “It really does seem like an unprecedented level of rhetoric focused on dividing people and pitting people against each other.” ‘Not what we’d heard before’ The chair of the Douglas County Republican Party said people on both sides of the aisle don’t know how to handle a candidate as unconventional as Trump. “It’s no secret that initially, as he was on the debates, he answered and his rhetoric was not what we’d heard before,” Tanne Blackburn, 72, said. “A lot of people don’t like change. It makes them uncomfortable not knowing what the change is.” For Blackburn, Trump’s background in business and lack of political experience are bonuses. “He’s the first absolutely total businessman, not a politician,” she said. “This whole country needs a different perspective than what we’ve had.” Trump’s controversial statements — including derogatory comments against women, Muslims and Mexicans — are a result of his unpolished nature, Blackburn said. “He is not a politician,” she said. “Do I think these statements are good? No. But I’m more concerned with the welfare of our country.” Robert Blaha, chairman of the Colorado for Trump campaign, also likes his candidate’s businessman’s perspective. He describes the election as “contentious” rather than “divisive.”

Both candidates have made inappropriate comments, Blaha said, but they are only “one of the things in the mix.” A bigger cause of the divide, he said, is their different approaches to issues like the economy and immigration. “There is a lot of emotion about this race,” he said. “When you add that emotion and excitement to the mix, you get a lot of people who are upset on both sides.” ‘My jaw is on my chest’ Centennial resident Laurie Ritchie believes the differences between the two candidates, and their rhetoric, couldn’t be clearer. “She has been under the media spotlight for 30 to 40 years,” Ritchie said. “If you look at what she’s done — where the rubber meets the road — she has measurable accomplishments. The contrast is amazing. Experience counts.” Ritchie, a 55-year-old Democrat and small business owner, has volunteered for Democratic campaigns since 2008. She blames Trump’s comments about immigrants, Muslims and minorities for creating a “frightening” campaign. “The extreme views, the racism — I listen to him speak and my jaw is on my chest,” she said. “The comments are just so extreme.” Sitting in the food court at Park Meadows mall in Lone Tree, Dhooge said she feels the same as Ritchie, and the first presidential debate on Sept. 26 reaffirmed her opinion. “He just kept on interrupting her,” she said. “I thought ‘I better shut it off before I put my foot through the TV.’ ” Dhooge said she’s never voted a straight ticket, always choosing individuals over their party. And though she’s “not crazy about Clinton,” she will vote for her. “She has the knowledge,” Dhooge said. “And he always has a plan for everything, but he never tells you what it is.” ‘We’re all Americans’ Saunders, the CSU professor, said polarization in Congress has become unyielding in the last 10 to 15 years, with party lines taking precedent over principle.

Did you know? By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Since the mid-1800s, the Democratic and Republican parties have consolidated the presidential election process into essentially a twoparty competition. The last president who wasn’t either a Republican or a Democrat was Millard Fillmore, a Whig, who ended his term in 1852. The last time a third-party candidate came in second was 1912, when Teddy Roosevelt split from the Republican Party. Running as the candidate for his newly-formed Progressive Party, Roosevelt won 88 electoral votes and came in second to Democrat Woodrow Wilson. This year’s election cycle, featuring two widely unpopular majorparty candidates, has seen a lot of buzz about third-party resurgence and theories that many voters may not cast a ballot at all. But political veterans aren’t sure whether there is any truth to the speculation. Marlu Burkamp, director-at-large for the League of Women Voters in Arapahoe and Douglas counties, is “not that worried” that dislike of the top candidates will keep people home on Election Day. But she added that there has been a slight uptick in third-party interest. That opposition, he said, is reflected in the electorate. “How do we get past that?” Saunders asked rhetorically. “It’s really hard to think about how that would happen without a pretty large reset of the system.” If voters supporting Trump and Clinton follow their leaders’ example, there may not be much cause for optimism. “We have one candidate who says ‘Can’t

“There is probably a resurgence in voting for a third party,” she said. “They’re picking up, but I don’t know that it will be significant.” A Real Clear Politics poll on Sept. 23, showing Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson polling at 8.9 percent nationally, bears out her assessment. Burkamp worries the drama surrounding this year’s presidential race will overshadow important local issues and candidates. “Everything starts locally,” Burkamp said. “If you’re not very happy with the presidential candidates, your vote still counts down the ballot, it’s very important. If you don’t vote for them, you’re missing the boat.” Political science professor Kyle Saunders of Colorado State University said there is always a level of non-participation among the college-aged citizens he teaches. But he doesn’t necessarily see this year’s candidates causing widespread voter apathy among older voters. Saunders said 43 percent of voters self-identify as Independents, but when they are alone in the ballot box, a majority still vote primarily with either Republicans or Democrats. “Seventy to 75 percent of them are closet partisans,” he said. “If you push them or watch how they vote, they vote the same as a straight Republican or a straight Democrat down the ticket.” we all get along?’ and another candidate who says ‘Nope, we can’t,’ ” Saunders said. “It’s a tough time.” But Dhooge has hope. Differences between the candidates and their supporters run deep, but she believes the rift will mend, regardless of who wins. “We’re all Americans,” she said. “If you are at all patriotic, you stick with your country.”

Laura Carlsen, RN • Colorado Skin & Vein IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a 30-minute skin treatment that penetrates deep into the skin to help break-up hyperpigmentation or darkened areas of the skin. It is best performed on light, untanned skin. Brown spots will initially appear darker after treatment and continually lighten over 7-10 days. IPL is best performed as a series, doing one treatment every month for three treatments total. Maintaining your results with a great skin care line like SkinMedica will help to keep you looking fresh and renewed. Regular cost of IPL for the face is $195.00. PDL, or Pulsed Dye Laser, uses a concentrated beam of light that targets blood vessels in the skin. Treatment usually takes only a few minutes with no anesthesia required. Most patients with fine facial veins will need 1-3 treatments. Regular cost of PDL is $325.00 for the nose and chin or $425.00 for nose, chin and cheeks.

4B: Pennies add up to something beautiful “Life without the collective resources of our libraries, museums, theatres and galleries, or without the personal expression of literature, music and art, would be static and sterile – no creative arguments about the past, no diverse and stimulating present and no dreams of the future.” That quote comes from “The Value of Arts and Culture to People and Society,” a report by Arts Council England, an organization similar to our Scientific Cultural Facilities District in that it distributes public monies to a bevy of arts and cultural entities. Like the SCFD, the Arts Council’s goal is not only sustainability for those institutions, but also — and perhaps more importantly — the creation of thriving and diverse experiences that enrich communities, expand horizons and inspire us to reach for the best of humanity. That’s what the SCFD has accomplished since 1988, for the incredible bargain of a penny for every $10 in sales tax paid in Arapahoe County and the six other Denver metro area counties that comprise the district. Voters renewed that deal in 1994 and 2004. And we should again do so on Nov. 8 by saying yes to Ballot Issue 4B. The amendment would reauthorize and extend the collection of the 0.1 percent sales tax for 12 more years until 2030. It also revises the distribution formula of money to the three tiers of organizations — 310 in total — that it funds. Besides Arapahoe County, the other counties that receive SCFD funding are Adams, Broomfield, Boulder, Denver, Douglas (with the exception of the towns of Castle Rock and Larkspur) and Jefferson. The bulk of the money would continue to go to the five largest entities: the Denver Zoo, Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver Art Museum, Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and

OUR VIEW Denver Center for the Performing Arts. But the smaller regional and local organizations would receive a larger percentage of distributions than they have in the past. Opponents argue the tax unfairly hits everyone, regardless of whether they patronize the cultural facilities. They argue the distribution formula favors the five largest organizations, while the grants to smaller institutions would continually shrink because their share would be divided among more. But there can be no argument that for 28 years the SCFD has succeeded in its mission of creating a dynamic, vibrant arts, science and cultural environment that is recognized far beyond the metro area. We derive an intrinsic benefit from arts and culture: We learn. We explore. We consider new perspectives. We dream. But arts and culture also directly energize our economy and workforce. They attract tourists and create jobs. They spill over into classrooms and education arenas. They foster collaboration and inspire creative thinking that can lead to social change. And, especially, they build community, reminding us how we’re connected while celebrating and providing needed outlets for expression and diversity. Just last week, the nonprofit Colorado Business Committee for the Arts released an economic activity study of Denver metro-area culture. The report, released every two years, was based on grant reports from the institutions that participate in the SCFD. The results show that in 2015: • Arts and culture generated $1.8 billion in economic activity.

• SCFD distributed $53.2 million, 14.6 percent more than in 2013. • Jobs in the arts, science and cultural organizations grew by 5 percent since 2013 to 10,731. • Cultural tourists, about 18 percent of the nearly 14 million people who visited cultural attractions, added $367 million in new money to the state’s economy, the largest impact to date from that sector. • 3.9 million children beneﬁted from outreach. The SCFD institutions also are working to increase outreach and improve access to underserved communities and those who might not be able to afford admissions. At Denver Botanic Gardens, for instance, 5.3 million people were served through the SCFD’s free days in 2015. Gardens officials realized some also might not be able to visit because they just can’t get there. So they started free shuttle transportation from community centers, such as Denver’s Mariposa Housing Authority, the Asian-Pacific Development Center and refugee communities to bring people in on days other than traditional free days — but also with free admission. While the process may not be perfect, what the Scientific Cultural Facilities District has built in 28 years of existence can only be applauded and met with gratitude. Its institutions — from the Denver Zoo to Hudson Gardens to the Englewood Cultural Arts Center Association, Littleton Town Hall Arts Center and Cherry Creek Chorale — continually work to give us the joy of discovery and simple enjoyment, moments that let us breathe in a world that runs too fast. All this for a penny on every $10 in sales tax. The decision is easy: Approve 4B. It’s a small price to pay for the arts.

A state between love and hate As I have shared in the past, one of my very favorite things about writing this column is the interaction and communication with our communities. Many of those conversations or email exchanges inspire my thoughts and sometimes even provide great material for a future column. Such as this one. These past few weeks I have Michael Norton received more “negatively” charged emails than I can reWINNING member at any time over the past 10 years. The negativity was WORDS not so much pointed at me, but rather about the current state of life, politics, terrorism, national anthem protests and the growing chasm between our communities and our police departments. And by the way, although we all recognize there is work to be done and improvements that can be made within our police departments and processes, a big shout-out to anyone who wears the uniform and has worn the uniform, you are greatly appreciated and deeply respected. The negative question contained in one email was this, “So what do you hate more, the insanity of the presidential election and our sorry choice of candidates or the Colin Kaepernick driven National Anthem protest?” Another reader called me out and asked me if I was ever going to take a stand or share my beliefs or opinions on some of these “harder than life issues,” as he called them. And there have been several others that carried a similar message that have been born out of frustration, lack of clear information, and opposing belief systems on both a grand and small scale. Without sidestepping the questions or avoid declaring my position or belief on the above topics and other important issues, let me share my responses with you here. As far as which do I hate more, I can honestly say neither. First of all, “hate” would not be my word choice. Disappointed, saddened, sick to my stomach, frustrated would all come well before “hate.” I cannot turn a blind eye to the massive shortfalls of both candidates, nor can I tell you that I don’t feel a gut-punch every time I see an Norton continues on Page 11

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vote yes on Amendment 71 Our state’s constitution has become cluttered with directives pushed by special interests. This isn’t a good thing, but there is a good reason it has happened: It’s easy to do. Special interests from all over the country look to Colorado as a testing ground for laws and constitutional amendments. What is wrong with voters directly stating their preferences for laws and constitutional clauses? Absolutely nothing. But it also makes sense that we should protect our constitution from outsiders and that amendments should be of enduring value. Currently, special interests face the same ballot process to change state law as they do the constitution. Not surprisingly, three out of every four initiatives seek an amendment because of the greater weight it carries over a state law. These constitutional amendments inject permanent policies into our governance that are difficult to change or remove. This creates a vulnerability for our state and particularly our economic development efforts. And that,

in turn, affects all working Coloradans. Bringing new businesses to our region better positions our communities for the work-life balance people want: less time on the roads and more time with families. But the level of certainty necessary for them to operate and grow is jeopardized by the ease of potential constitutional amendments. Amendment 71 will protect our constitution and increase the level of certainty by requiring that signatures are gathered in every state Senate district. This ensures broad-based support and equitable representation. The proposed constitutional amendment then needs to pass by more than 55 percent, thereby, raising the bar. While Amendment 71 raises the bar for constitutional amendments, it leaves intact the easiest process in the country for citizen-initiated changes to law. This November, I hope you’ll join me in raising the bar and protecting the Colorado Constitution by supporting Amendment 71. Jim Gunning Former mayor of Lone Tree

To boldly goat where no man has gone before During an interview with National Geographic several years ago, I was asked, “What animal would you like to be?” At the time, I was wearing a lot of black eye makeup and eating shoots and leaves. I said, “Isn’t it obvious?” But seriously. A man named Thomas Thwaites decided that “goat” would be his answer. He spent three days living with goats as a goat in the Swiss Alps. He had some prosthetic legs made for himself, wore tight black and white clothing, and a white speed-cyclist’s helmet. For breakfast he ate grass. For lunch he ate a tin can. I made that up. Thwaites said, “My goal was to take a holiday from the pain and worry of being a self-conscious being, able to regret the past and worry about the future.” Vodka used to do that for me, and I didn’t have to leave the house. “I was able to keep up with them for maybe a kilometer or so on this migration down the side of a rocky mountain, and

then they just left me in the dust.” I went to see my doctor and said, “Doctor, I feel like a goat.” The doctor said, “Craig, how long have you felt like that?” I said, “Since I was a kid.” There are several videos of Thwaites amid goats, doing his best on all fours on his special

legs, and chewing grass. A television news anchor was overcome when she was reporting the story. That’s the video I recommend. I think we have all contemplated existence as something other than a human being, and some people take the next step, like college mascots and furries.

Furries are people who dress up like animals. They even hold conventions. Why isn’t a Halloween costume enough, once a year? Beats me. What do you call an unemployed goat? Billy Idol. A good friend of mine told me a story about his cherished Bible. He lost it in the Rocky Mountains when he was on vacation, and he spent the next three days looking for it. Then one day, a goat came to his hotel with the Bible in his mouth. My friend raised his hands and yelled, “It’s a miracle.” The goat said, “No it isn’t. Your name is on the inside cover.” Thwaites wrote a book about his experience. It’s called “GoatMan: How I Took a Holiday from Being Human.” The wrap on the book is that while it does a fine job of outlining his extensive preparation, which includes designing a prosthetic goat stomach to digest grass, it is

less attentive to his actual time as a goat. Please read it on my behalf and let me know. During World War II, metal was needed for the war effort, so license plates were made out of soybeans. Guess who ate them off of farm vehicles? If you know baseball, you know about the Hartford Yard Goats. The Yard Goats are the Rockies Double-A farm team. They finished third in the Eastern League Eastern Division with a record of 74-67. I don’t have a joke here. However, the Rockies’ season sometimes seemed like one. The expression about getting someone’s goat comes from the practice of putting a goat in a race horse’s stall prior to a race, to calm the horse down. Rascals would swipe the goat. Goats and I have something in common. We both listen to Baaa-ch. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

Unpresidential audio stirs up memories When I was 18, the summer between my freshman and sophomore years in college, I worked at the front desk of a manufacturing plant, and was the only woman on the site. One of my duties was to go into the production area and collect the time cards for payroll processing. One day the superintendent of the plant – a married man – was waiting for me in the back. He pushed me against the wall, trapped me with his body against mine, and pressured me for sex. I got away and, from then on, only went for the time cards when he was off the site. He continued to stalk me, sometimes following me on my way home to hang around outside the post office while I dropped off the company’s mail. But I didn’t tell anyone. Some years later, while vice president of an advertising agency, one of my clients was a wealthy real estate developer. We were driving to one of his job sites when he took his right hand off the steering wheel and reached across the car to grab my breast. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t speak. I wondered what I could possibly have done to invite this crude advance. He was married, I was married. And yet I didn’t tell anyone. I was in a situation familiar to many women, especially in those days when it seemed more acceptable for men who believed they wielded power to take advantage of women. I didn’t want to risk offending a significant client of our agency, even though I was traumatized by these ac-

tions. He invited me to fly with him on his private jet to another of his properties, and when I declined, we lost the account. Having launched my business career in the ’80s, I have been subjected to these and other kinds of harassment Andrea Doray for more than 30 ALCHEMY years, sometimes from the men who directly employed me. So it’s no surprise to me when stories such as those about Bill Cosby, Roger Ailes and – God help us – the Republican nominee for president have come to light. What does surprise me is that 1) people are shocked by these revelations, 2) people believe that such behavior is uncommon, and 3) people continue to blame and shame the victims. I know why women stay silent. I know why they endure the objectification, the humiliation, the fear. It’s because this type of discrimination and harassment doesn’t only happen at the exalted levels of celebrity. It happens to wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, girlfriends and best friends in all walks of life. It’s because women are not believed or, worse, are believed but brushed aside as

in our challenging times. Again, I don’t use the word “hate” because I still do believe we live in a world that is mostly filled with love. I believe we live in a world where the mistakes and agendas of the few are amplified so loudly that they seem to take center stage over the goodness, love, and grace that abounds in our communities. We are living in this state of being or state of mind that is centered right between love and hate as we are caught up in the chaos created by the decisions and actions of our past. And as we seek to break that cycle and we seek new change and as we come together to achieve both, the words I hope that we will use to replace “hate” and the words I hope we can live with and live by example with include: love and forgiveness, love and kindness, and love and grace. How about you? Are you living with that gut-punch feeling about any of the topics or issues mentioned here? Or maybe there is something else that has your attention right now. And if you are feeling that gutpunch I hope that you can ease the pain or nauseated feeling by turning to grace. As always, thank you for your emails and I would love to hear from you this week at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can get our head around the fact that grace usurps hate every time, it will be a better than good week.

athlete at any level kneel, sit or protest our national anthem. It’s the same gut-punch feeling when the Pledge of Allegiance and prayer were challenged and taken away from our schools or when Christmas displays and celebrations on public property became governed and directed by the minority instead of the majority. And as for as taking a stand or sharing my beliefs, I am sure you understand those from my response in the above paragraph. I have heard it said that it is our differences that make the world go ‘round, and that keep the earth spinning. I also grew up as an amusement park kid, where there were rides that continued to spin you around and around and around. Some were able to tolerate it regardless of how much spinning was going on and the velocity at which they were spun. The ride was fantastic for them. Others would either throw up on the ride or vomit as they walked weak-legged off of the ride. So if it is our differences that make the world go ‘round, I am amongst the many who have emailed me and tolerating as much as I possibly can. Sick to my stomach? Yes. I just want the ride to stop, slow down, and let me off before I do actually throw up. Here is where I net this out for myself

inconsequential. I read a comment in the New York Times the day the latest news broke about Donald Trump’s boasts of what is classified as sexual assault, and I paraphrase here: If you are female, you have had someone else grab a private part of your body without your consent. This is certainly true for me and most of my contemporaries. I think of the younger women in my life and can only fervently hope this is no longer true for them. And that’s why I’m telling my story now. What makes anyone believe they have the right, the permission, to take away my control of who touches my own flesh? I believe – I have to believe – that this happens less frequently, less systematically than in the past, due in large part to the women who have come forward, the

women who support them, and the decent, compassionate men – and they are in the majority – who are appalled and outraged by what goes on. It’s unlikely there will be any kind of justice for the women in Trump’s lewd legacy, but there can be a victory for the women and girls of the United States – and the people who love them – in the defeat of Donald Trump. Vote for anyone other than the most unqualified person, on any level, ever to seek leadership of the (still) greatest country on the Earth.

Keeping kids active Fun and encouragement key to getting kids to exercise By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com

THE IMPORTANCE OF UNSUPERVISED PLAY TIME

arents worry that today’s children aren’t getting enough exercise, spending more time playing video games and less time playing outdoors. But throughout the metro area, there are efforts to spark kids’ interest in physical fitness. They include running programs in Littleton and Parker and a beforeschool program in Arvada that encourages students to play sports. Kaiser Permanente offers options for Colorado schools that want to encourage exercise, via its Thriving Schools Initiative, which offers grants of up to $200,000 to fund physical or nutritional education programs. At North Arvada Middle School, the program funds a zero-hour class beginning at 7:30 a.m. daily in which students play a friendly game of basketball or handball, tracking activity with pedometers, with a goal of at least 3,000 steps. At Damon Runyon Elementary School in Littleton, physical education teacher Jason Hill has been working for 10 years to get and keep kids interested in running. His Runyon Running Club gathers weekly during the fall and spring at the school’s track, with about 80 students ranging from kindergarten to fifth grade. Parent Adrian Jordan, whose son Tariq is a second-grader at Runyon and takes part in the club, said it helps to have something else to do besides sitting in front of a computer. “It’s not good for a kid to be staring

A fear of letting kids play unsupervised can also lead to lower levels of physical activity, some parents believe. “I think now people are more afraid to let their kids go out and play,” said Joy Getz, whose son, Brady, a kindergartner, takes part in the Runyon Running Club in Littleton.

Photo by Kyle Harding at a screen for hours,” he said. Though many parents or educators may be worried that today’s children may not be as active as in generations past, Hill said they may just need encouragement. “I think they’re active with adults’ help,” he said. “There’s not a lot of kids coming down here playing soccer or shooting hoops without it being a scheduled practice.” Many Runyon parents are into running, which helps, Hill said. “There are a lot of triathletes and distance runners here.” Hill runs 5Ks and used to trail run when he lived in western Colorado.

He ran one half-marathon before sustaining an ACL and meniscus tear in his knee. His son took part in the club during his elementary school years and now runs track at Euclid Middle School in Littleton. “Many kids from here are now doing track there,” he said. Kids Running America is a Parkerbased nonprofit organization that encourages running among children throughout the Denver metro area. The group uses an “incremental marathon” approach, with the kids logging mileage over eight to 12 weeks.

Lenore Skenazy, founder of the Freerange Kids movement and the blog Freerangekids.com, which advocates raising children to be independent, said that fear is unfounded and negatively affects child-rearing, including by keeping kids from being as active as they should be. “We really have lost our perspective on what is dangerous,” she said. Skenazy, an author and former journalist who lives in New York City, believes that unsupervised play is crucial to childhood development.

They run the final mile at Washington Park in Denver on Oct. 23, completing either a marathon of 26.2 miles or an ultra-marathon of 100 miles. “Our main goal is to get kids out and active,” spokeswoman Rachel Levi said. Active continues on Page 13

Local orchestra keeps jazz beat alive Denver’s jazz scene will never match the bustling birthplaces of the genre — New Orleans, Chicago and New Orleans — but the Mile High City still boasts an impressive jazz history. Art Bouton, executive director Clarke Reader of the Colorado Jazz Repertory OrchesLINER tra, is among those NOTES working to keep that history alive through performance. “The goal of the orchestra is simple — gather the best players in town to play the best big band jazz,” he said. “Every town should have a band playing great stuff like this.” Entering its fifth season, the orchestra brings its take on big band leaders like Count Basie and Duke Ellington, and unique arrangements from such legends as Miles Davis, Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald, to smaller venues up and down the Front Range. In the coming six months, the 18-piece band will perform at the Arvada Center, Lakewood Cultural Center and Parker Arts Center. “These 500-seat theaters are our sweet spot,” Bouton said. “There’s not any other large jazz ensemble in town doing what we’re doing.”

Denver’s jazz scene dates back to the 1920s and 1930s, when Five Points in central Denver was known as the ‘Harlem of the West.’ The neighborhood was home to famous clubs like the Rossonian, the Casino Cabaret and Lotus Club. Bouton, also a professor of saxophone at the University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music, has been a lifelong advocate of jazz in the area. “This music deserves people with an attention to detail,” he said. “Anybody can feel it when it really starts grooving.” Denver’s jazz scene dates back to the 1920s and 1930s, when Five Points in central Denver was known as the “Harlem of the West.” The neighborhood was home to famous clubs like the Rossonian, the Casino Cabaret and Lotus Club.

Today, Denver is home to such jazz clubs as Dazzle on Capitol Hill and El Chapultepec on Market Street, which are great places to experience live jazz. “Live jazz is amazing, because you’re able to see and hear people create music on the spot,” Bouton said. “Jazz is always changing, and I can’t wait to hear what the music sounds like in six years.” In a world with so many musical options at one’s fingertips, getting young people interested in jazz is one of the genre’s biggest challenges. Since its creation, hip-hop has been inspiring new generations of jazz investigators, and artists like Kendrick Lamar, Chance the Rapper and Oddisee are blending jazz

climate in songs like “Flipside” and “Tragedy,” and her compositions call to mind Charles Mingus and Thelonious Monk. Few vocalists, jazz or otherwise, bring the same warmth and melancholy to their music. Favorite song: “Once I Had A Laugh” Best song for our troubled times: “Peace”

and hip-hop in new, inventive ways. To help keep jazz alive, Bouton and the orchestra work with Youth on Record, a nonprofit that partners with the local music community, public schools, housing authorities and philanthropic organizations to ensure high-risk young people graduate high school ready to enter college or the workforce. “We’re building an audience one person at a time,” Bouton said. “We play music at such a high level, and that’s the way it should be played.” Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he has been a jazz fan since hearing Miles Davis in seventh grade. Check out his music blog at calmacil20.blogspot. com.

about 40 schools throughout the area, and about 550 kids are taking part this fall, Levi said. She serves as a team mentor at Northridge Elementary School in Highlands Ranch, where 70 kids are in the club. “It’s really fun to see these kids and their love of running,” she said. Making exercise fun is key to keeping kids interested in it, according to the Roadrunners Club of America, a national association of running organizations.

2450 West Main Street Littleton

To that end, Hill’s running club at Runyon isn’t just about running in circles. The kids warm up with an interval run and then play a runningfocused game, like tag. The kids then take part in two “fun runs” per year, with those in third, fourth and fifth grades running one mile and younger kids running half a mile. The one in the spring is a cross country course. “It’s fun,” Hill said, “to get them a taste of jumping over rocks and running through trees.”

WHAT IS CHILDHOOD OBESITY? Generally, a child is not obese until he or she is at least 10 percent heavier than the recommended weight for his or her height and body type, according to Kids Running America, a Parker-based organization that encourages running during childhood. Obesity most commonly begins at age 5 or 6 or during adolescence, and a child who is obese between the ages of 10 and 13 has an 80

percent chance of being overweight or obese as an adult, Kids Running America said. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, childhood obesity rates have shown small improvements, but the level of healthy-weight children is “far from ideal.” AAP recommends that all children receive at least one hour of physical activity per day.

Moscow Jazz Orchestra to perform Arts center to host Igor Butman group By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Saxophone virtuoso Igor Butman will bring his Moscow Jazz Orchestra on a return visit to the Lone Tree Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 19 for a concert of Big Band music featuring 16 musicians performing American standards and Russian jazz numbers. Butman, born in St. Petersburg in 1961, started playing the clarinet at age 11, but switched to jazz saxophone a year after he entered the Rimsky-Korsakov College of Music. His online bio says he also “took unofficial lessons from nightly radio broadcasts of jazz from 11:15 to midnight on Voice of America.” In 1987, he emigrated to America and majored in performance and composition at Berklee College of Music in Boston. He was already acquainted with some of America’s important jazz artists after being invited to play with them when they were on tour in Russia. Included: Dave Brubeck, Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, Gary Burton, Louis Bellson and Grover Washington Jr. Washington took Butman “under his wing” and had

Butman moved to New York in 1989, worked with the Lionel Hampton Orchestra, released a solo album in 1993 and performed at major jazz festivals in the U.S. He then returned to Russia, forming his big band orchestra, but stayed in touch with American jazz contacts, bringing them to perform in Russia. When Wynton Marsalis played in Russia, he invited Butman to perform with his band. This is a connection that lasted — with Butman’s band performing with Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York and Marsalis appearing on a Butman jazz recording in Russia. The Moscow Jazz Orchestra has

‘Tartuffe’ is timeless, very timely Arvada’s Black Box rep company offers classic By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com

ENTER YOUR GUESS ONLINE AT

IF YOU GO

The smiling, smarmy con man is ever with us! “Tartuffe,” written by French comedic master Moliere, was first performed in 1664 at Versailles and quite promptly banned at the request of the Archbishop of Paris — although King Louis XIV was generally supportive of the famous playwright. There were hypocrites in the 17th century too — abundant material for a writer to satirize. Contemporary local audiences will enjoy a well-paced 21st-century spin on the original, with Richard Wilbur’s poetic translation, especially clever costumes, a nifty set and a top-notch cast that is obviously having fun with this gem. They perform on a thrust stage that is dominated by a black-and-white faux marble floor, elaborate 17th-century backdrop wall and a prominent altar front and center—appropriate since Tartuffe is a man of the church and prayer is in order on occasion. The Arvada Center, in its 40th year,

is trying a different approach with its charming, smaller Black Box Theatre. Veteran director Lynne Collins has come on board as artistic director for plays and the beginnings of a repertory company is introduced — a first at the center. “Tartuffe” will run through Nov. 6. Then, in February through May, “Bus Stop,” “Drowning Girls” and “Waiting for Godot” will be scheduled as each is developed, with all three on the April calendar, many of the same actors in each cast. Collins will direct “Bus Stop” and “Drowning Girls” and Geoffrey Kent, who will act in “Bus Stop,” will direct “Waiting for Godot.” The title role is deftly portrayed by expert actor Michael Morgan, who plays the devious character in contrast to wealthy but simple-minded Orgon, played by equally expert Sam Gregory, a Denver Center Theatre Company and Colorado Shakespeare Festival frequent player. The pair is as skilled at silly slapstick moves and lines as they are at more serious roles. Jessica Austgen stands out as a sassy, outspoken maid, who immediately spots Tartuffe as a phony and serves as a narrator of sorts. Leslie O’Carroll plays Madame Pernelle, the grandmother — Orgon’s mother and

Kate Gleason, as Orgon’s frustrated wife, sees through the deceptive man’s plans and tries to trap him. Her sapphire blue costume is a particularly clever spin on period dress. Sean Scrutchins (Damis) and Emily Van Fleet (Mariane) play Orgon’s young adult children, while DU drama student Anthony Adu is the servant Valere, Mariane’s secret love. One needs to tune the ears into the script’s rhyming couplets, which we seldom encounter, but the sound is good and language and delivery are extra clear. And this is a truly funny work.

call center, was born and raised in south metro Denver. He grew up attending the Littleton Fire Muster and parade every year, and he frequented the Castlewood Fire Department — which is now South Metro Fire Rescue, a district that encompasses Centennial, Parker, Lone Tree and other areas of Arapahoe and Douglas counties. His grandpa knew the fire chief and his father took him for visits often. “I don’t think they quite anticipated that I would visit all the time,” Hurst said. The Littleton resident remembers being immediately drawn to that one red firetruck. More than two decades later, he saw the HIGH truck SCHOOL for sale online on a YouTube channel called The Fast Lane Truck and jumped at the opportunity, for which he paid $13,000. The truck now serves as a trip down memory lane for Hurst and his fellow firefighters, such as Lt. Mike DeBoer, who joined the Castlewood Fire Department in 1991. “It’s become a symbol of where we came from,” Hurst said. “It contributes to the fireAWARDS fighters who made us who we are today.” The truck, which was in service from 1970 to 2000, was used to respond to aircraft crashes at Centennial Airport. At the time, Hurst’s father-in-law, Wayne Austgen, was the public information officer for

Warriors edge Bruins on court Arapahoe comeback earns 3-2 win over Cherry Creek By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Oct. 5 Arapahoe-Cherry Creek volleyball match lived up to its billing of a classic clash between two teams with 11-2 overall and 1-0 league records. The Bruins appeared to have the match under control as they won the first two sets 25-23 and 25-14. But Arapahoe came back and won two sets in a row, 25-22 and 25-23, to force the fifth and deciding set that Arapahoe won 15-9 to win the match, 3-2. The loud vocal support from fans of both teams plus the intensity on the court created an almost electric

What is your favorite movie? My favorite movie is “Monsters Inc.” because it’s such a cute and funny movie and Mike Wazowski is my favorite Pixar character. What is your favorite pre-competition meal? My favorite food in general is pizza, so that’s probably my favorite meal before games too. I also like chocolate chip pancakes before games.

atmosphere in the Cherry Creek gymnasium. The match provided avid volleyball fans with quality play that made points hard to come by. There were very long volleys with blocks at the net, smashing spikes and diving digs.

working together and playing harder. When we won the fourth set we just pushed harder. Winning the deciding set and the match is such a great feeling because we beat a very good team and a league rival. It is really exciting.”

Key moments Cherry Creek appeared to be in control after a close first-set win and then jumping out to an 8-2 advantage, maintain a sizable lead and winning the second set, 25-14. But Arapahoe regrouped and staged a comeback. “We didn’t get down after the second set. My teammates and I never stopped believing in each other because we are such a strong team,” Arapahoe captain Jayden Liberty said after the match. “We just focused on

Key players/statistics Both teams amassed statistics testifying to the quality of competition. The Warriors scored 59 kills as Amanda Maggiore led the team with 25 and Kaylee Rogers had 13. Cherry Creek recorded 42 kills as Katie Sherman scored 14 and Maya Borenstein had 10. Defensive play kept the ace serves to a minimum as Arapahoe had five and Cherry Creek had four.

Who is your favorite professional or collegiate athlete (past or present)? My favorite athlete is definitely Carlos Gonzalez. The Rockies are my favorite Major League Baseball team, and since I’m an outfielder too, he’s definitely my favorite player for them, and I have a life-size poster of him in my room.

I’m sure Judd Erickson sometimes feels like he is sauntering away from a sweet dream when he walks off the football field. Erickson is Mountain Vista’s senior quarterback in the Golden Eagles’ spread, hurry-up offense. He throws an average of 41 passes a game. He leads Class 5A quarterbacks with an impressive 2,168 yards and 23 touchdowns. He played only the first half in Vista’s 46-0 romp over Aurora Hinkley on Oct. 7 at Aurora Public Schools Stadium, but still passed for 205 yards and three Jim Benton TDs. “It’s amazing,” OVERTIME Erickson said. “I mean every quarterback dreams of it and with the skilled receivers we have and the offensive line that can hold up in pass pro(protection), it’s unreal.” The 6-foot-4, 205 pounder who still hasn’t drawn a lot of attention from college recruiters, credits the coaching staff and his teammates for his success this season. Still, he did pass for 2,174 yards in the 2015 season with 20 TDs. Vista offensive coordinator TJ Rubley illuminated that Erickson is bigger and stronger so his arm strength is up probably 30 percent. He’s running the offense better and is more comfortable in the pocket. ”He gets to throw the ball a lot but he has to get us in the right play,” said Rubley, who was a quarterback at the University of Tulsa and was on five pro teams, including the Denver Broncos. “If he doesn’t have those abilities, he doesn’t get the ability to throw the ball. “He has to have accuracy. He’s throwing a lot with five in the box. This isn’t easy football. A majority of his yards have come against difficult coverages.” Erickson, who could pass for 3,600 yards if he continues at his current pace, claims that running the offense isn’t hard. “It’s not too difficult,” he said. “There are a lot of calls on me but our offensive coordinator is incredible and prepares me well each week, so I know what I’m going to see. He makes it easy for me.” Fundraising for McKee family The Highlands Ranch football family and friends raised $1,663 and the Highlands Ranch TD club contributed another $500 to help support the McKee family for their injured son. Dylan McKee was a former Highlands Ranch football player who is now a freshman on the Concordia football team. He was injured in an automobile accident along with four other Bulldogs freshman players on Oct. 2 near Surprise, Nebraska. McKee was still in intensive care last weekend after his second surgery but was improving. He is expected to recover. McKee’s brother Hunter is a senior linebacker on the Falcons football team this season and youngest sibling TJ is a freshman player at Highlands Ranch. Parents Larry and Kelly McKee have been with Dylan since the accident, but Larry returned home briefly to watch the Highlands Ranch game Oct. 7 against Lakewood.

The opposite is true of the defensive digs, which is when players keep play going by diving to prevent the ball from hitting the floor. Arapahoe had 73 digs, with Abby Anderson the leader with 12 and teammate Jessica Girard with 13. Cherry Creek players made 53 digs with Kate Chapman the leader with 16. Carly Killorm was Arapahoe’s assist leader with 23 while Daisy Schultz and Kathryn Fish each made 18 assists for Cherry Creek. They said it Arapahoe Coach Jordan Wright said this is a veteran team with eight seniors on the roster. “We are better team now than we were at this time last year when we had about a 500 record,” she said before the match. “We are playing very well this season and this is a key game against a very good Cherry Creek team.” She said the team’s strength is its way the athletes work together as a

team. She said although this is a seniordominated team, the future of Arapahoe volleyball looks good because the underclass teams, the junior varsity, sophomore and freshmen teams, all have winning records. After the match, she hugged and congratulated her players. She told they had played solid volleyball and to celebrate a win over a very good Cherry Creek team. When the match was over, Arapahoe players and coaches remained on the court to celebrate with fans, friends and families. Cherry Creek Coach Sally Moos and her players left the court and headed to the locker room. Moos said she did not want to talk about the match as she left for the locker room. Joan Dalton, one of the Bruin assistant coaches, said it was a great match, both teams played very well, and it was fun to see some players step up to do their jobs to fill vacancies, including the loss of two starters to injuries. “Our team played really well and I think I expected we would win the match in four sets,” she said. “But they battled back, rallied very well, but Arapahoe played very well like they always do.”
