Coyote program working, city says No new pet deaths recorded; reports of aggression decline By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Lone Tree’s coyote hazing program is working, and the lone coyote suspected in a series of spring and early summer pet deaths likely has left the area, officials said last week. “We aren’t having those aggressive confrontations,” acting Lone Tree Police Chief Ron Pinson told the city council. “That rogue coyote we had that was responsible for three or four of the pet deaths isn’t being sighted anymore.” Six dogs were killed earlier this year in the Lone Tree and Acres Green area, and
Jana Hundley, a resident of the Lodge at Willow Creek apartments, took this picture from the door of her home recently. She sees coyotes in the area at least once a month, she said, and hears them howling several nights each week. Courtesy photo several witnesses reported seeing a large, seemingly unafraid coyote. City officials were so concerned about the animal’s unusually brash behavior, they gave po-
lice authorization to kill it. It has not been seen in recent months. Since then, the police department also Coyote continues on Page 5
County officials are sending supplemental ballots to about 1,700 Lone Tree voters to correct an error on mail ballots. The mistake is limited to one question the election of a Regional Transportation District board member and to one area of the RidgeGate development. The area is south of Lincoln Avenue and west of Interstate 25, near Sky Ridge Medical Center. Although those Lone Tree residents live in RTD’s District G, voters in the east portion of Precinct 257 were asked to vote for board members in District H. Candidates for the RTD board in District G are former Parker Mayor Gary Lasater and former Lone Tree Mayor Jack O’Boyle. That error is tied to the 2010 Census. Based on census results, districts were redrawn to more evenly distribute the population. That shifted an area of Lone Tree previously in the same district as much of Highlands Ranch east to one that includes portions of Parker and Centennial. That change isn’t reflected on the ballot for those Precinct 257 voters. “This is not an unknown phenomenon,” said Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Jack Arrowsmith. “It happens from time to time. The important thing is, can we correct it and not necessarily disenfranchise any voters in the process?” The county this week created a plan to do just that, conferring with the secretary of state’s office for its approval. Plans called for mailing supplemental ballots and a letter of explanation early in the week of Oct. 22. The supplemental ballot will only apply to the RTD race. Those who have already voted won’t have to fill out an entire new ballot, Arrowsmith emphasized. Additionally, election clerks are on the alert for incoming ballots from Precinct 257, and will separate those ballots by hand as they arrive. Votes on those ballots applying only to the RTD director race will not be counted. The issue only impacts those who are voting with a mail-in paper ballot, and won’t affect voters who come to the polls on Election Day. Arrowsmith said he does not know if the error will impact the race. “Our focus is to ensure that any eligible voter in the RTD District Director G race has the opportunity to cast their vote,” he said. Even though the supplemental ballot

Event to honor Douglas County philanthropists Dave and Gail Liniger founded RE/MAX By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Chances are most Douglas County residents have indirectly benefitted from the generosity of two local philanthropists. Chances are just as good that those residents don’t even know the names of those contributors. Dave and Gail Liniger, of Castle Rock, have quietly set about improving the community around them one donation, one project, one organization at a time. They are the founders of The Wildlife Experience, a nonprofit museum on Lincoln Avenue east of Interstate 25 that promotes an appreciation and respect for wildlife and the outdoors through adventure, experience and education. The Linigers, whose wealth is tied to their tireless efforts to build RE/MAX from the ground up, also established the
highly regarded Sanctuary golf course, the use of which is donated each year to a handful of nonprofits for money-raising golf tournaments. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is among the organizations that have been able to raise money via the Linigers’ benevolence. “Dave and Gail Liniger have been the pillars of the community for their philanthropic efforts,” said Sheriff Dave Weaver. “Many people have benefited from their vast compassion and generosity.” Colorado’s top dignitaries, including Gov. John Hickenlooper, are gathering Nov. 3 at The Wildlife Experience for Expedition 10, an event that both honors the Linigers for their kindness and marks the museum’s accomplishments over its first 10 years. Gary Debus, president and chief executive officer of The Wildlife Experience, said Expedition 10 will be the first time the couple has been publicly recognized for their gifts to the community. The primary reason why they might not be well-known among the general Douglas
County population is because the Linigers have never made being in the spotlight a priority. “They care deeply about the place they live,” Debus said. “Douglas County is their home.” The Linigers have been instrumental in the success of nonprofit groups that help, among other causes, education, veterans, the arts, culture and health. The latter category includes donating and helping to raise about $117 million for the Children’s Miracle Network. They have also taken stands on issues that affect the county, such as the 2011 proposal to create a municipal landfill near the Backcountry Wilderness Area in Highlands Ranch. Debus says there are few areas in which the Linigers are not involved, and Weaver listed off the organizations that have connections to the sheriff’s office that have been helped, including the Women’s Crisis & Family Outreach Center, Douglas County Deputy Sheriff’s Association, Sheriff’s Office Scholarship Program, Douglas County Sheriff’s Of-
fice Explorer Program, victim assistance, Deputy Ron King Memorial Scholarship, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Fallen Officer Program, Race-A-Cop and Christmas for Kids. Aside from monetary donations, the Linigers’ financial latitude enables them to create platforms for others to raise funds on a broader scale. The Sanctuary, for example, has helped raise $65 million over the years for various groups in need, and The Wildlife Experience, which has 501(c)(3) status, helps other charitable organizations by offering deep discounts to rent out its Great Hall for fundraising events. The museum is the ideal spot to present an award to the Linigers. “People finally have a chance to honor and recognize and thank them for the things they’ve done,” Debus said. Expedition 10 starts at 6 p.m. and is open to the public. Tickets are $250 for the general public and $200 for members, and, of course, the money goes to a great cause: museum programs. For more information or tickets, call Lynn Howes at 720-488-3379.

Ex-teacher’s retrial set for March 19 LaVoie’s website speaks of ‘bitter twisted lies’ By Ryan Boldrey
erboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com m e Former Mountain Vista High School ,English teacher and wrestling coach nFrank LaVoie went back ,to court in Douglas Counsty Oct. 17, as procedures ebegan for the retrial of his ssexual assault case that gresulted in a hung jury olast month. LaVoie, who is acrcused of having sex with ea 17-year-old student LaVoie while employed at the sschool, will begin the four-day retrial on rMarch 19. , Testimony in the first trial lasted three tdays, and after close to two days of delib-eration by an indecisive jury, Judge Paul tKing ruled a mistrial. In that first trial, the accuser testified for nearly two hours about her relationship with LaVoie and four different instances where she allegedly had sex with him in 2009 during her senior year of high school. LaVoie admitted to sleeping with the student, but stated he did not do
so until after she had graduated and turned 18. This was the same story he gave about two other former students from Virginia who flew in to testify on behalf of the prosecution as character witnesses. According to their testimonies, both alleged victims from Virginia had slept with LaVoie while he was their teacher in 2004 and 2006, but neither came forward at the time. A Google search in 2011 by one of the women alerted her to her former teacher’s troubles out West, and each woman reached out separately to the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office not long after that. LaVoie taught in Virginia from 2003 until 2007 before being hired by the Douglas County School District. He resigned from his position at Mountain Vista in April 2011, two months after the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office investigation began.
Moving forward in life and court Since resigning from his position at the school, LaVoie has been working on a writing career, and has completed the first in a planned series of fantasy novels, according to his website, www.FrankLaVoie.com. The most recent entry on LaVoie’s home page is dated June 17, 2012, one
day before a motions hearing in which it was discussed whether testimony of the alleged victims from Virginia would be allowed in court, and whether it would be admissible that his Colorado accuser had used his credit card at Planned Parenthood during the time of their alleged affair, and that the receipt showed a purchase of a morning-after pill. The entry on the site begins with a quote: “Vengeance is best served through non-fiction; there is only one version of the truth.” That is followed by lyrics from Ben Harper’s song “I’ll Rise.” The song leads with the lines: “You may write me down in history/ with your bitter twisted lies/ you may trod me down in the very dirt/ and still like the dust I’ll rise.” Other quoted lyrics include: “Now did you want to see me broken/ bowed head and lowered eyes/ shoulders fallen down like tear drops/ weakened by my soulful cries/ does my confidence upset you/ don’t you take it awful hard/ cause I walk like I’ve got a diamond mine/ breakin’ up in my front yard.” In the day following that entry, King ruled that he would allow testimony from the young women from Virginia. It was those allegations that appeared to confuse the jurors in the September trial, as they were instructed not to base
their decision on testimony from those women, since LaVoie was not on trial for those allegations, but only those of his Colorado accuser. When the jury couldn’t reach a unanimous decision, LaVoie’s attorney, Forrest Lewis, said he was confident that “based upon the Colorado testimony alone, they appeared to have been ready to acquit.” “I will undoubtedly ask the court to revisit (admitting any) out-of-state testimony (in the retrial),” Lewis said. “It obviously was as prejudicial as I feared it would be.” While the judge allowed the Virginia women’s testimony in the first trial, he did not allow the jury to hear the reason for the credit-card use. While no date for agenda or a future motions hearing has been set, it does appear there will be more witnesses taking the stand the second time around, as it was made clear on Oct. 17 that Lewis and Deputy District Attorney Chris Gallo were in the process of taking depositions and would be unable to set a motions date until those were done. LaVoie, if convicted, could face up to 12 years behind bars for felony sex assault on a child by a person in a position of trust. He remains free on bond until his March trial.

Police: Man tried to lure girl to van
Suspect’s vehicle described as teal Chevy Astro By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com The possible attempted abduction of a 4-year-old Parker girl has police scouring for clues and child safety classes filling within hours. The Parker Police Department issued a warning Oct. 17 about what it called a “suspicious occurrence” days earlier in the Clarke Farms neighborhood. A mother of three children was placing two of the kids in her vehicle in her driveway around 3:30 p.m. Oct. 14 when she heard a vehicle pull up, then a man’s voice. When she looked around to the other side of her vehicle, a male passenger in a teal-colored Chevrolet Astro Van was “signaling with his hands” for the 4-year-old girl to come toward him. When the suspect saw the mother, he ducked down and the van sped off.
The mother and a handful of witnesses were unable to describe either the passenger or driver in any detail, and did not get a license plate number. The van was said to have a “high gloss paint job.” Police officers and detectives have since canvassed the area near where the incident took place and interviewed homeowners in the area to determine whether anyone had seen a van matching the description of the suspect vehicle. The Parker police have issued a statewide “Be On the Lookout” bulletin, or BOLO, and are in touch with the Westminster police to see if there are any similarities or connections to the case of Jessica Ridgeway, whose body was found more than a week after her disappearance from a residential street. The suspect in the van never exited the vehicle and the incident has not officially been called an abduction attempt, but the man raised suspicions through his actions, including ducking and “trying to hide his face,” said Dawn Cashman, public information officer for the Parker police. “We don’t know what his intent was, but that’s not normal behavior,” she said. Shortly after the report was made,
the Parker police stopped a vehicle that closely matched the description of the Astro Van and took witnesses to the area, but they did not positively identify it as the suspect vehicle. The mother was initially not planning to report the incident. However, increased awareness of child predators and media stories about other possible abduction attempts in the Denver area prompted her to come forward. Residents have become “hyper-vigilant” about child abductions and law enforcement agencies across Colorado are receiving an increased number of tips about suspicious activity. Hundreds of people have packed into Parker police meetings about child safety, including 175 people over three classes last weekend. “We look at this as a teachable moment,” Cashman said. Demand is so high, the Parker police built a waiting list of interested parents and eventually asked the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center if the department could host a meeting that would educate a larger number of people.
That meeting was scheduled for Oct. 24. Two meetings on Oct. 22 and 23 were expected to be at capacity. “They filled up immediately, sometimes before people even got emails about them from their HOA,” Cashman said. “People are paying attention a little more now. We’re teaching them to be our eyes and ears because we obviously can’t be everywhere.” More free child safety seminars are scheduled for 6-8 p.m. Nov. 1-3 at the Parker Police Department, 18600 Lincoln Meadows Parkway. Stand Out for Kids, a campaign organized by the mother of the 4-year-old girl, was created after the Clarke Farms incident and is intended to increase the visibility of responsible adults and keep kids safe while walking to and from school. The Facebook page had 125 likes by the afternoon of Oct. 22. Anyone with information about the suspicious incident in Clarke Farms should call Detective Michael Buoniconti at 303-805-6524.

KEZW grows solar garden in neighborhood Station is second in U.S. to be sun-powered By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews. com On a prairie bluff overlooking a dog park, an enclave of high technology looms. It’s technology that has launched KEZW Studio 1430 AM into historic notoriety as the second and largest radio station in the United States to be powered by solar energy. “The thing that’s really cool to me is that the station that plays the oldest music has the newest technology,” said deejay Rick Crandall at an Oct. 19 ceremony to dedicate the station’s solar garden. That, along with a transmitting station and several antennas, is on the western edge of David A. Lorenz Regional Park, along East County Line Road between Colorado Boulevard and Holly Street. The solar project is part of parent company Entercom’s 1Thing environmental initiative, which encourages everyone to do just one thing every day to preserve the environment, coming one step closer to a sustainable world. The project is designed to reduce dependency on the power grid and showcase renewable energy. Atop the bluff sit 12

Courtesy photo banks of solar panels, each one with 36 individual panels generating a total of 100,000 watts of power. In June 2011, KEZW’s energy bill was about $1,360; today it averages $270 a month. “The KEZW solar project has been challenging and exciting for me,” said Jeff Garrett, chief engineer at the station’s parent company, Entercom Denver. “The science that allows that production of electricity from photons of light is cutting-edge.” Cary Hayes of REC Solar, the company that installed the system, agrees it was a challenging proj-
ect. It only took about two months to build, he said, but permitting and design took more than a year. There was a lot of testing involved, as well, to make sure the solar energy wouldn’t interfere with the radio signal. That resulted in a sophisticated grounding system built into the Trex fencing around the panels. “We went above and beyond what we normally do,” said Hayes. Local dignitaries were on hand at the event to welcome KEZW to the neighborhood. “It’s great for them to make this investment,” said Rick Owens, chair of the Highlands Ranch Metro District. “It aligns with what Highlands Ranch is doing in our facilities.” He mentioned LED holiday lights and solar locks and lights in all the park restrooms as examples. “It’s another great example of sensible sustainability,” agreed Lone Tree Mayor Pro Tem Jackie Millet. “It’s a great example of leadership, just like our arts center.” She noted that Lone Tree Arts Center is the city’s first LEED-certified building “We are excited about the future, and I’m honored to be part of converting sunlight into radio waves,” said Garrett.

with a coyote, about action that will scare the animal. He doesn’t scold pet owners for letting their dogs off leash in the park, or suggest they fear coyotes. Instead, he encourages them to be alert and responsible, and understand that the park is a natural habitat for coyotes. “I want every interaction I have with somebody to be a positive interaction,” McGruder said. Although authorities typically don’t relocate coyotes, Lone Tree Police hazed a pack this summer that had established a den between the Enclave and Heritage Hills neighborhoods — a little too close to dozens of houses. The coyotes left that area. “Unfortunately, we think they’ve moved in to the golf course area,” Pinson said. “When we haze them, we aren’t able to select where they’re going to go.”

Union, district to offer separate teacher classes Groups will provide ongoing education By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com The Douglas County teachers’ union will continue to offers its professional development classes to teachers, despite the expiration of its collective bargaining agreement with the school district. Until this year, the classes were offered free to all teachers through the district. But the Douglas County Federation now will offer them for an asyet-undetermined fee through Adams State University’s teacher professional development division. Meanwhile, the school district is creating its own set of teacher classes, designed to tie into its strategic plan, pay-for-performance network and evaluation system. Both the union and district believe their courses offer teachers unique benefits. “We’ve provided this research-based professional development since 1999, and we felt they were critical enough we should continue to offer them,” said Joanne Slanovich, president of the Douglas County Federation of Retirees, part of the union. “It’s part of who we are as an organi-

zation. Why would we want to take it away from people simply because the district said they were going in a different direction?” Pat McGraw, the district’s development and innovation officer, didn’t disagree. “We’ve encouraged the union to continue to offer the courses in an outside venue,” he said. “I think they’re not overlapping.” Sometime in November, the union hopes to hold its first classes, most of which will run five weeks for a total of 18 hours. All told, it will offer 15 classes, ranging from Foundations of Effective Teaching to Thinking Mathematics. The district’s online catalog includes 26 courses, among them Backward Planning and Transformational Geometry. Some of the classes are designed for specific schools, such as the Hope Online K-12 school, and others - like the STEM Institute and iPad Training — aimed at 21st-century learning skills. District officials are calling on staff at various schools to help guide them. “Because we are a choice district, we have different programming at different schools,” McGraw said. “It’s not one size fits all. We’re tailoring the development in the schools, dependent upon the program that’s offered.” The internationally offered union classes are based on the Educational Research and Dissemination Program

created by its national organization, the American Federation of Teachers. Teachers who take the union’s ER&D classes are required to apply the methods in the classroom and report those outcomes. That makes the education an ongoing process, Slanovich said, ensuring the information is ingrained in the individual teacher. “It’s not just research-based,” Slanovich said. “It’s research that has been validated by other researchers. It works with different groups of students. I’ve seen it work in very small districts. I’ve seen it work in large districts.” The district’s also is based on national research, McGraw said, tailored “to meet the needs of our district.” Doing so is hard work, he admitted. “It’s incredible work, though.” Teachers are not required to take any of the classes, though the district offers teachers a small financial incentive in exchange for a specific investment of time. The union is still working with Adams State to gain final approval on its classes. That approval will extend for three years, and Slanovich said classes will be offered “as long as there is a request for them.” Information on the union’s classes is available at www.douglascountyclassrooms.com. A list of district-offered courses is available on the DCSD Web site www. dcsdk12.org/centerforprofessionaldevelopment/index.htm

Parents seeking to help young children sharpen their reading skills can choose from a series of ongoing evening classes. The Douglas County teachers’ union this month kicked off what will be a continuous series of free workshops designed for parents. The classes focus on phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension, and are offered this fall at elementary schools in Parker and Castle Rock. Douglas County School District teachers will lead the classes, using research from the national Educational Research and Dissemination program originally created for teachers. “Parents have asked about these classes,” said Joanne Slanovich, president of the Douglas County Federation of Retirees, part of the union. “We felt the courses were so good and teachers were learning so much we should open it up to parents.” Two evening classes are planned in Castle Rock on Oct. 24 and 25, and two more in Parker on Nov. 7 and 14. For more information and to register, visit www. douglascountyclassrooms.com. Each class is limited to 30 participants.

Lone Tree Marriott celebrates remodel By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Vodka trickled through an ice sculpture carved in the shape of the letter “M,” chocolate flowed from a dessert fountain and flashing neon ice cubes lit up cocktails during the Lone Tree Marriott’s grand re-opening Oct. 17. About 300 people mingled in the ballroom, sampled menu items in the private dining rooms and wandered through the hallways, meeting rooms and lobby to survey the new decor. The $3.8 million renovation splashed the 9-year-old hotel’s interior with color, from red flowers blooming against the yellow backdrop of the ballroom carpet to chairs upholstered in solid yellow, orange, green, red and patterned combinations of those shades. “Certainly, it’s a more modern look than we had before,” said Stasia Patience, director of sales and marketing. “It’s very warm, with lots of spots for folks to sit down, plug in and work.” The bar, restaurant and lounge areas also offer space to relax. With the renovation, its in-house Sonoma’z Wine Bar & Grill includes three private dining rooms.

The six-floor, 275-room hotel is located on Park Meadows Drive, just north of the Lincoln Avenue and Interstate 25 interchange.
Parent Led Reform has aim of expansion Douglas-based organization wants to go statewide By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Parent Led Reform aims to grow into a statewide organization, and its founder doesn’t rule out the idea of someday going national. The pro-education reform group, founded in Douglas County by a Parker woman, recently expanded to Jefferson County. “Right now, our focus is statewide,” said founder Karin Piper. “That’s a dream on its own. But I have to admit, I’m already being contacted by parents in other states that are asking how long it will be until we come there.” Piper, whose interest in school choice sprang from the diverse educational needs of her three children, is no longer the group’s volunteer leader. Earlier this year, the board raised funds and hired her as its executive director. She declined to provide her salary or the identities of those who are funding PLR, saying only that they are local. The group is a nonprofit corporation registered in Piper’s name with the Colorado secretary of state. PLR now is governed by a board of directors, including Washington, D.C.-based charter school advocate Mark Hyatt, Colorado State Sen. Tim Neville, former Douglas County Republican Party chairman John Ransom and financial consultant Tyler Hart. While the board members have strong Republican political leanings,
Piper describes PLR as “a multi-issue parent network” with no political affiliation. “I am politically unaffiliated and I still remain that, to this day,” she said. Politics “is not my focus and it’s certainly not the organization’s focus either. Our focus is to project parental power into education reform. We do not and cannot have an educational bias. “We believe in homeschooling, neighborhood schools, charter schools, online schools and private schools alike. Our group does not have a preference one way or another, but we think those choices belong with parents.” The group shares many of the Douglas County School Board’s pro-reform ideas. It proposed the idea of open negotiations with the union to the board in early 2012, to which the board and union agreed. In September, it requested the board investigate emails sent through the district’s system that PLR suspected were political, and therefore inappropriate. The district has not responded yet to those concerns. But PLR board director Ransom said it does not work hand-in-hand with the school board. “We’re not connected to anybody, including the Douglas County School Board,” said Ransom, whose son attends Mountain Vista High School. “There’s certainly some like-mindedness going on here. But I can tell you from the time they got elected until now, I’ve maybe had a half-dozen conversations with those guys. “We are concerned about things at the local level. We’re not part of a
bigger organization, but a small, grassroots organization that is having some success.” Ransom believes the need for education reform crosses not only the political aisle, but spans demographic divides. “I don’t think anybody would say K-12 education is adequate here in the United States,” he said. “We have to do something. The thing we’re saying is, if we can’t take these real simple steps in a place like Douglas County in order to improve public education, what hope does a place like Denver have?”

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS
The Bad, the Good, and in between We just get through — if not over — one Bad thing in the news and another one comes right along, on its heels, and clobbers our heads and hearts. In between something Good makes us feel OK again. For a while. We get buffeted from the Aurora theater massacre to Missy to Jessica Ridgeway to the Broncos miracle to five people murdered in a Denver bar. And that’s just us: metro Denver. Every other city in America and in the world goes through this. Try bookmarking The Los Angeles Times to get some idea of what happens in a larger city, in Los Angeles and the suburbs. “I don’t read the news, or watch it,” a nurse said to me recently. But for some reason he knew about Malala Yousufzai (The Good), the 14-year old Pakistani girl who was shot in the head on a school bus by members of the Taliban (The Bad). There are statistics for absolutely everything. Except this: How many of us are Good and how many of us are Bad?
I know: “Good” and “Bad” are very broad generalizations, and that some of us are both Good and Bad. Or more Good than Bad, or more Bad than Good. But some of us are always Good, and some of us are always Bad. Can you picture Missy Franklin EVER being Bad? Even a little Bad? Me either. When I was sitting in Miss Frobischer’s first-grade class in Uniontown, Pa., I am sure I thought that all 18 of my classmates were Good, and would be Good forever. In reality one of them probably opened a puppy mill (The Bad) and one of them smacked his wife around (The Bad). One of them served in Vietnam (The Good)
and one of them became an honest politician* (The Non Sequitur). I have had my moments in both camps, but in general I think I am The Good. I am not as Good as my sister. She is The Good beyond my comprehension. It’s always disappointing when The Good turn out to be The Bad. Lance, Lance, Lance. You break my heart. Joe Paterno. His Bad was adjunctive, however, and I because of that I will always have compassion for him. Some of us have no choice. We are born under a Bad sign, whether it is indifferent parenting, or squalor, or the proximity to gangs, illegal drugs, or gunrelated mayhem. I am sure that one of my classmates looked over the shoulder of another one when we were tested on fruits and stole an answer, and years later he stole a fruit truck. We can be scammed partly because we believe or want to believe that people are basically Good. Then we see our doctor on “60 Minutes” and it’s not because she has donat-
ed a kidney. She’s sitting there with re-used syringes, and a candy dish of Oxycodone, Percocet, and Dexedrine. Back to the nurse. I know a number of people who don’t read or watch the news. The nurse said, “I can’t do anything about it anyhow.” Neither can I, but I need to know. I want to stay informed for one thing, and for another, Bad news — I have to say this carefully — is a part of my general humbug with life, and contributes to the instruction of my thoughts, my writing, and even my painting. Everything isn’t festooned with sunflowers. Finally, now and then Bad news might give us a Good Laugh: “Other than that, how did you like the play, Mrs. Lincoln?” *Quote: “If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?” Abraham Lincoln

Dragon slayers never quit Did you ever notice that in almost every movie, if not every movie that includes a dragon slayer, the hero is going solo? It’s true, man or woman, adult or child, wizard or warlock, at some point the defender of our safety ends up fighting the fire-breathing beast alone. Pushed backwards to the edge of a precipice or cliff, our valiant dragon slayer is down to just their sword and shield and in some cases, just his or her sword. I have even seen in some movies where they may have no weaponry at all, they are in the final throes of battle with just their bare hands, just like Harry Potter who lost his wand. As viewers of a movie or readers of the book, we are caught up in this intense moment with the character, our hands get sweaty and our hearts race as if we are the ones in battle and quite possibly about to die. With all of our hearts and might, we “will” the hero to succeed. We so very much want them to win. I mean really, who ever really roots for the dragon? Let’s fast-forward to the present day and our careers, our workplace, our relationships, and our world. The dragons still exist, but I believe they are metaphorical dragons who we allow to frighten us, intimidate us, and threaten our success. We might feel like the dragons are our competitors, our difficult customers, the economy, or even people in our lives who for whatever reason seem to be against us. The truth is that the biggest dragons we face are self-imposed and come in the shape of bad attitudes, lack of work ethic, compromised personal character, and wrong behaviors. So many people I coach and speak with completely understand their competitive landscape, they know who their enemies are and how they behave, they recognize the impact that the economy has and real-world environment that they work and play in. But what they fight most often, the dragons that frustrate them beyond
any other, are the self-imposed belief systems or habits that they themselves have created. Journey back with me to the movie scene, our hero or heroine is backed up to a cliff, the dragon is furiously breathing fire and attacking with claws and spiked tail, and the dragon slayer has two choices and two choices only…they can accept defeat and be killed by the dragon, or they can fight back, finding the dragons weak spot, and thrusting their sword into that spot to claim victory. Even the dragon slayer who has lost sword and shield and whose demise seems imminent, somehow in the climactic moment a new sword appears and a sun shines behind the dragon casting the dragon in a silhouette, and our hero/heroine emerges victorious. This is you, you are a dragon slayer, no matter what battle you are facing, no matter how close to the edge you are, you can fight back, that relationship is yours if you really want it, that job is yours, that promotion is yours, that goal is yours, and even that addiction you are struggling with is yours to defeat. Here we are in October, we have a few months to go, and we may still have some dragons we need to defeat. I would love to hear all about how you plan on fighting back or even how you have defeated those dragons of yesterday to achieve your success at gotonorton@ gmail.com. Become a dragon slayer this week and I guarantee it will be a better than good week for you.

Centennial man charged in murder of mother Liggett believed to have poisoned, dismembered mom after disinheritance By Deborah Grigsby
dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com The Centennial man accused of killing his mother and dismembering her body made his second appearance in Arapahoe County District Court, advised of the charges against him including first-degree murder and vehicular eluding.

Celebrations around the world Halloween’s world celeHalloween dates back thousands of years to ancient Celts and Europeans. Although Halloween is now largely associated with the celebrations that take place across much of North America, where 65 percent of Americans decorate their homes and places of business in the Halloween spirit, Halloween is celebrated in various ways around the globe. • England: In the past, Brits tossed objects such as stones, vegetables and nuts into a bonfire to frighten away the spirits. These symbolic sacrifices also were used as a form of fortunetelling. If a pebble thrown into the flames at night was no longer visible in the morning, then it was believed that the person who tossed the pebble would not survive another year. Halloween fell out of favor after the Protestant Reformation spread through the country. However, in recent years some have begun to adopt the American tradition of trick-or-treating. • Hong Kong: A Halloween-type festival in Hong Kong is known as “Yue Lan,” which is the festival of the hungry ghosts. It is believed that, during this time, spirits roam the world for 24 hours. • France: Halloween is considered an American holiday by most French and was relatively unknown before 1996. • Ireland: Ireland is thought to be the birthplace of Halloween, and many of the same traditions of old are still practiced today. In addition to costumes and treats, individuals may play an apple-bobbing game called “snap-apple,” where participants have to try to
take a bite of an apple suspended on a string. Children also play tricks on neighbors, including “knock-adolly,” which is essentially a variation on “ring-and-run.” • Spanish-speaking nations: Many Spanish-speaking nations celebrate “El Dia de los Muertos.” It is supposed to be a joyous event where people remember friends and family members who have died. Candles and incense are burned to help the departed find his or her way home. • Austria: Some people will leave bread, water and a lighted lamp on the table on Halloween night before going to bed. It was once believed that such items would welcome the dead souls back to Earth on a night Austrians considered to be full of strong cosmic energies. • Czechoslovakia: Czechs place chairs by a fireside on Halloween night. There are enough chairs for each living and dead family member. • Italy: Halloween traditions have just recently begun to blossom in Italy, where decorations and pumpkins are popular. While many of the traditions borrow from the Americans, there is at least one uniquely Italian tradition taking place in the hill town of Corinaldo. La Notte delle Streghe, “The Night of the Witches,” occurs in this town with music, dancing and a witch-themed fashion show that names Miss Strega (Miss Witch). • Australia: Halloween isn’t as popular in Australia as it is in the United States and Canada. Australians may celebrate Halloween as Guy Fawkes Eve or Mischief Night. Children create mischief or get treats. Many
Australians simply celebrate the holiday with a dance at their schools. Halloween is alive and well around the world. Perhaps this year North American families will want to incorporate some global traditions into their standard Halloween plans. Source: Metro Creative Services

Workshop to empower secular parents Author event set for elementary school By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com How can kids learn about religion and be raised morally without being indoctrinated into an organized religion? How do people who don’t believe in an afterlife ease a child’s fears about death? McGowan These questions and more will be at the center of the conversation from 1-5 p.m. Nov. 4 at Arrowwood Elementary School, when author Dale McGowan presents an afternoon workshop on secular parenting.
McGowan, who wrote “Parenting Beyond Belief” and “Raising Freethinkers,” is himself an atheist, but believes each individual should arrive at their own set of beliefs on their own. In order to get there, he feels that everyone should take their time to become religiously literate. “It’s important to understand the world,” McGowan said. “If you don’t understand anything about religion you can’t possibly understand the world. You can’t understand that with 9/11 there was this afterlife component that the (terrorists) could die and be happy about it. It’s important to be empowered and be able to be in conversation about it. It’s also important for children to make their own choices.” McGowan said it can often be difficult for parents who are non-theistic to know how to raise their kids morally and how to handle some of the major questions that religion deals with. He said another ma-
jor issue for those who are non-religious is where to turn to find that sense of community that churches offer. “People who belong to a church community have support in times of need,” he said. “There are people to provide a community and other meaningful adult relationships for their children, rites of passage, and so much more. For those raised without religion, it can be a question of ‘Where do I go to get some of those benefits?’” McGowan was raised going to church on Sundays, but did not come from a family where religious discussions were commonplace or where it was a major focal point. “I got the religious literacy, got knowledgeable about Jesus Christ, had time to think for myself, and it instilled a really strong curiosity in both my brother and I,” he said.
“I had to decide on my own whether religion is a reflection of the world or a reflection of the way we want the world to be. That was a long journey. The benefits of religion are very real and satisfy human needs. They are particularly helpful to parents.” But what about for the 15 percent of parents who aren’t religious? “The impetus for the first book was I needed it myself, I had a lot of these questions and I didn’t know the best way to approach them,” said McGowan, a father of three. “I was astonished to find nothing out there.” For more information on McGowan, please visit www.parentingbeyondbelief. com.

What do you most enjoy doing when you are not working? Skiing, playing golf, jogging and working out. I wish I could add cooking… so does my family. What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? My favorite line is: “It’s a price war and a beauty contest”. If you want to SELL your home, have a stager come in (I’ve got a great one) and show you how to be the prettiest girl on the block and then price your home realistically. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Hire a seasoned Realtor that knows the market area you want to live in. The market is improving and it’s not the Buyer’s market of the past few years. If you find the perfect home that meets your needs, do not wait to make an offer or you may be too late. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? I was locked in a condominium once by a woman who wouldn’t let me leave and then she decided to take her clothes off. SCARY to say the least… Couldn’t wait to get out of there…

S
o, you want to build a redwood deck on the back of your home. You contact Joe Contractor and he agrees to build it for $15,000.00. You pay him $5,000.00 down, make progress payments to him and pay the remaining amount at the time the project is finished. You love your deck. Two weeks later, you receive a notice from ABC Lumber Company.
Joe Contractor did not bother paying for the 2x4s and other lumber which he used to build your deck, and the supplier now wants his $10,000.00 for the lumber. The supplier is threatening to place a mechanic’s lien on your property unless he is paid. A mechanic’s lien is a tool used by contractors, workers and suppliers for payment for work that has been done on your property which improves it. You are obviously upset because you paid the full amount to Joe Contractor, and expected him to
pay his supplier, only he did not. Well, Colorado law has protected you. In residential properties, as long as the contractor is paid, any lien placed upon your property by a subcontractor or supplier is invalid and any suit brought on that lien will be dismissed. Still, it is a nuisance and could take up to a year for a title company to remove the lien from your property. If you own a commercial property, the Colorado statute discussed above does not apply. However, commer-

Also, the lien statement must be complete and accurate, and must be served on the owner of the property and the general contractor at least ten days before it is recorded in the office of the clerk and recorder of the county in which the property is located. Failure to be accurate and to serve the right parties renders the lien invalid. Timing is also important for the lien to be valid. It must be recorded no later than four months from the time the last substantial work is done on the property, if labor and materials are involved. If the lien is for labor only, then it must be filed no more than two months from the time the project is completed. Finally, the lien expires unless suit is brought on the lien no later than six months after the lien is recorded. So whether you are a property owner concerned that liens could be placed against your property and result in a lawsuit, or a contractor, subcontractor or supplier who wants to get paid for the work he or she has done to improve your property, there are many rules and traps in the mechanic’s lien statute. There is little room for errors. We strongly recommend that you consult a competent real estate attorney if you find yourself on wrong end of this problem, whether you want the lien perfected, or you don’t want it on your property.

cial landowners are also protected thanks to the so-called “trust fund” statute. That law states that that contractor holds any money paid to a contractor in trust for the specific purpose of paying all of his subcontractors and suppliers for that particular job. If he uses the money for other purposes, he commits theft and could face criminal charges. A letter to the non-paying contractor pointing out that he is in violation of the trust fund statute usually brings results. Another glitch in the lien process is when you are the property owner, and your tenant tries to make improvements without your permission, leaving you holding the bag for the $15,000.00 redwood deck. In such cases, in order to avoid a lien on your property, you must post a notice of non-liability on the site of the property in a conspicuous place within five days after you have learned what your tenant has done and the work has started. The claimant, of course, has rights as well whether it is the primary contractor, subcontractor, or supplier. However, he must be careful not to overstate the lien amount. If he or she knowingly exaggerates the claim, he could lose the entire amount of the lien and pay the property owner’s attorney fees in addition.

RTD DISTRICT G CANDIDATES
O’Boyle seeks second RTD term Former Lone Tree mayor wants to continue work By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Jack O’Boyle is seeking to be re-elected to be the District G representative on the 15-member board of directors of the Regional Transportation District. “I want to continue the work I started in my first term on the board,” he said. “I will again make it my priority to seek to make sure RTD continues along the road to fiscal sustainability.” O’Boyle For the last four years, O’Boyle has represented District G, which includes Lone Tree, Parker, portions of Centennial and parts of unincorporated Douglas and Arapahoe counties. The incumbent said he remains a supporter of the FasTracks mass transit improvement project. The initial plan was funded by the 2004 voter approval of raising the sales tax rate for RTD, and
the proposal was to add 119 miles of rail transit as well as improved bus service throughout the metro area in 12 years. Higher construction and material costs, coupled with a decline in revenues, have created financial challenges for FasTracks so, without additional funding, it won’t be completed until 2042. “FasTracks is important to helping Denver make the transition from a cow town to a global city,” said O’Boyle, who is now retired. “However, finances are a problem and there could be modifications to plans for some of the corridors. Local residents need to know the Southeast and Southwest line extension are scheduled in the future; they are still in the FasTracks plans.” O’Boyle was born in Georgia and raised in California. He came to Colorado in 1994 when his position with LockheedMartin moved to the metro area. He was elected mayor of Lone Tree in 1996 and served three four-year terms in that position. He could not seek re-election to the council in 2008 because of term limits and successfully ran to be the District G representative on the RTD board.

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Gary Lasater tossed his hat in the ring as a candidate to represent District G as one of the 15 members of the board of directors of the Regional Transportation District. “I became a candidate because I felt District G needs better representation on the board of directors,” Lasater said. “I don’t feel it is right that RTD has consistently cut services or threatened to cut ser- Lasater vices for the Parker area.” He said he was a member of the Metro Mayors Caucus that supported the 2004 FasTracks proposal to expand mass transit by adding 119 of rail transit and 18 miles of bus rapid transit in the metro area. “No one could have seen the change in the economic climate we have gone through that has created financial chal-

lenges for FasTracks,” he said. “But I feel FasTracks should be completed for the entire metro area before any line extensions are done.” Lasater was born in Utah and raised in Florida. The family moved to Colorado in 1968 and he graduated from Bear Creek High School Lasater and his family moved to the Parker area in 1994. He served as Parker mayor from 1996 until 2004. He was then term-limited as mayor, but he became a candidate and was elected to the town council in 2004 and again in 2008. He said he had done some research and it appears the fees and taxes District G paid to RTD are higher than those paid by any of the other 14 districts. “I feel the residents of District G are paying more and receiving less service,” he said. Lasater owns and operates an online financial services platform that is used by other agencies. He said his company was similar to cloud computing before cloud was introduced. He and his wife of 31 years live in the Parker area. They have two daughters, two sons and two granddaughters.

South MetroLIFE Award brings gratitude, tears
Chloe Palmer, 9, of Centennial is a blur of activity as she takes on the jump rope in full costume. Palmer was among more than 600 visitors to the annual Halloween Spooktacular, which was held on Oct. 19 at South Suburban Parks and Recreation’s Goodson Center in Centennial.
COSTUMED CRUSADERS PHOTOS BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY
Hollywood seemed to be the trendy costume theme this year at the South Suburban Spooktacular on Oct. 19. Superheroes, vintage stars and a few from modern animated films were out and about with a mission to haunt. The annual Halloween event offered a safe, supervised alternative to traditional trick-or-treating for children up to 11 years of age and featured a haunted house, carnival games, tattoos, video games, hula hoops and a cookie walk. More than 600 visitors came through the doors of the Goodson Center, 6315 S. University Blvd., emptying the carnival of about 125 pounds of candy.
I’m honored to be honored. Sense of Security, a Colorado-based breast cancer charity that helps patients with non-medical expenses, has been a favorite charity of mine since I was diagnosed seven years ago. In my own small way — with a ton of help from my friends — I have raised money for this unsung charity that lost some of its funding last year — a casualty of budget cuts. On Saturday night, being given an award for my efforts during the annual Champagne and Diamonds fundraiser humbled me. The award reads: “With gratitude, Penny Parker. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to improve the quality of life for breast cancer patients.” Yes, I’m a survivor, but there are so many of us in this sorority that we never wanted to join. As I write this, tears are running down my face. It seems that October — Breast Cancer Awareness Month — is the one time a year that my journey comes flooding back. I was truly blessed to have such supportive people in my corner during that time — my darling husband, Greg Henry, and my BFF, Devany McNeill, who also accompanied me to the event. I want to thank Rita McCoy, executive director of Sense of Security, Vicki Tosher, founder of the charity, and Regional Emmy Award winning doll face Chris Parente, co-host of FOX-31’s “Everyday,” who emceed. I also want to give a shout-out to the Embassy Suites in downtown Denver, which blew me away with their banquet service of perfectly cooked beef tenderloin (like buttah), crisp asparagus and a potato dish. Amazing. Thanks to all who deemed me worth of such an honor. If you’d like to contribute to such a deserving organization, go to www.senseofsecurity.org. Since its inception in 2000, Sense of Security has provided more than $1.4 million in financial assistance to more than 860 breast cancer patients in Colorado.
Think pink for charity
The 9th Door, the sexy tapas bar on Blake Street in LoDo, is donating proceeds from its Pink Coyote cocktail to Sense of Security during October, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This could be the most fun you’ll ever have while donating to a worthy cause. See you there! For more information, go to www.senseofsecurity.org.
Historic Landmark status
Dressed as Mr. Fredrickson from the animated comedy “Up,” 2-year-old Hunter Brito is all smiles at the South Suburban Halloween Spooktacular Oct. 19 at the Goodson Center in Centennial. The annual event provides a safe and supervised alternative to traditional trick-or-treating.
Vintage Hollywood comes alive in 4-year-old Kimberly Brito’s interpretation of Audrey Hepburn’s classic role in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” Kimberly was one of close to 600 visitors to South Suburban’s Halloween Spooktacular, at Centennial’s Goodson Center.
Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar designated Denver’s Civic Center as a National Historic Landmark on Wednesday, marking it as the City and County of Denver’s first NHL and one of two Civic Centers in the country to achieve this prestigious recognition, announced Historic Denver Inc., the Denver nonprofit that submitted the NHL nomination. Celebrations to honor this historic moment will take place in Denver’s Civic Center in 2013.

Lennon exhibit coming to Centennial Music icon’s art, lyrics displayed at shopping center By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com A large touring exhibit of artwork by music legend John Lennon will include works not seen in Denver previously. The Streets at SouthGlenn will feature the art Nov. 2-4. Admission to the exhibit is free and a catalog and a number of the items are for sale. There will be more than 120 serigraphs, signed lithographs and song lyrics. Of special interest is a rare portfolio of “Bag One” lithographs, signed by Lennon in 1969. (A complete set is in the Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection in New York.) The exhibit is produced by Pacific Edge Gallery, Laguna Beach, Calif., which has worked with Yoko Ono and the John Lennon estate since 1988. This is part of a national tour. The gallery website
offers a quote from Lennon: “If art were to redeem man, it does so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness.” That attitude shines through in many of his whimsical images. They are meant to elicit a smile from a viewer. Gallery hours: 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday; adjacent to the library in The Streets at SouthGlenn, 6911 S.

GAME OF THE WEEK CROSS COUNTRY
State championship Saturday, Oct. 27 Norris Penrose Event Center in Colorado Springs The cross country season comes to a close with the state championship meet. The event kicks off with 2A girls at 9:30 a.m., with other races beginning every 30 minutes until the 5A boys take off at 1 p.m. THEY SAID IT “I think we can go far because when the pressure is on, we perform really well.” Ponderosa linebacker Drew Stephon

Rock Canyon’s run ends in semis Young Jaguars advance to Final Four for third straight season By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com AURORA - It’s an irritating phrase used too often by teams that don’t win championships. However, you can’t blame those associated with the Rock Canyon softball program for at least thinking, `Wait Until Next Year.’ Rock Canyon has developed a softball program that has become a solid state contender the past three seasons. The Jaguars made their third consecutive appearance in the Class 5A Final Four last Saturday at the Aurora Sports Park but lost 6-4 in a semifinal game against Dakota Ridge. “I expected to be here which may sound a little egotistical but with the talent we have, you see it and you know you should be there,” Rock Canyon coach Debbie Kortbawi said. “We started this program seven years ago and in seven years we’ve been to state four times and the final four three. That’s pretty amazing.” Rock Canyon had only four seniors -Alli McCloskey, Shannon Lieber, Brooke Wakefield and Analise Marshall -- on its roster and that alone is a reason to look forward to next season. “My entire infield will be back, my power pitcher will be back, we have some great underclassmen, sophomores and freshmen that are coming up,” Kortbawi said. “I’m excited to see them progress and see what they can do. “My group of seniors were amazing. They started this this tradition when they were freshmen. They have taken this team and taught these girls what it is about, what we needed to do, the expectations and their leadership was incredible this year.” Rock Canyon had chances early
Rock Canyon senior Shannon Lieber pitched for five innings in the first round of play in the Class 5A state softball tournament in Aurora on Friday. Photo by Pam Wagner against Dakota Ridge. A runner was thrown out at home plate in the first inning and the Jaguars left seven runners on base in the first six innings when Dakota Ridge grabbed a 6-0 lead. “We were making hits we just couldn’t string them together,” Kortbawi said. Rock Canyon, helped by three Eagles errors, scored four times in the top of the seventh and had the tying run at the plate when Dakota Ridge got the final out. Zayne Blumberg, McCloskey and Brooklyn Travis had run batted in hits during Rock Canyon’s seventh inning rally. “That’s the one thing that is the benchmark of this team and these girls, they have never given up, they fight to the end.,” said Kortbawi. “As a coach how can you ask for anything more than that.” Rock Canyon, which finished with a
19-5 record, beat Ralston Valley 11-4 and edged Chatfield 4-2 to advance to the semifinals. In the three tournament games, McCloskey went 6-for 12 with three RBI and Blumberg was 5-for-11 with five RBI. League champion Rock Canyon was one of five Continental League teams in the state tournament but Dakota Ridge eliminated three of four teams in the Class 5A bracket. Dakota Ridge downed Legend 10-0 in a first round game. Mountain Vista prevailed over Fossil Ridge 10-7, but dropped a 9-3 decision to Dakota Ridge in the quarterfinals. Douglas County lost 9-4 to Eaglecrest in the first round. In the Class 4A tournament, Ponderosa opened with a 4-3 win over Frederick but was sent home after a 6-1 set back to Erie in the quarterfinals.

Day One devastating to local teams Huskies, Titans and Golden Eagles make early exit at state By Scott Stocker
sports@ourcoloradonews. com AURORA - It turned out to be a disappointing first day for Mountain Vista, Douglas County and Legend in last Friday’s Class 5A state softball tournament at the Aurora Sports Park. But no coach or player will call it a disappointing season. After all, they were all part of the successful 16 who reached state. Mountain Vista, coached by Brett Grammerstorf, was the more successful of the trio as the Golden Eagles, seeded No. 7, defeated No. 10 Fossil Ridge 10-7 in the first round. However, they couldn’t carry over the momentum into the quarterfinals and were beaten by No. 2 seeded Dakota Ridge, 9-3. Mountain Vista was able to take a 2-0 lead against Dakota Ridge in the third inning, but the Eagles bounced back to score four runs in the bottom of the inning. They would then add five more in the fifth to close out their scoring. Mountain Vista picked up it’s final run in the sixth. Sydney Cohen helped lead the way for Mountain Vista in the second game batting 3-for-3. Kristyn Peters led the way for Dakota Ridge driving home three runs for the winners. McKenzie Subart contributed a double and drove in three runs in Mountain Vista’s winning effort over Fossil Ridge.

Danie Shearon also batted in a couple of runs. “That first game was just back and forth and the girls showed a lot of guts,” Grammeerstorf said. “They hit a threerun homer in the fifth and coming back was a testament to our players. I think the kids just ran out of gas in that second game as the first one did take a lot out of us. We had our chances. Their pitcher just came in and shut us down.” Junior shortstop Kara Feiske felt Mountain Vista was ready to go, but it just didn’t turnout as all had hoped. “We came in pumped up and with a lot of adrenalin in our first game and played hard,” Feiske said. “We just got beat by a better team in the second game. It came down to hits and our heads were not in the second game.” Added pitcher McK-
enzie Subart: “In the first game we came out knowing that we could come back. In the second game, we got beat by a better team. I’m really proud of the way we played this season. But today, in the second game, we had mistakes we couldn’t make up for.” Douglas County struggled in the early goings against Eaglecrest, falling behind 8-0 after four innings. The Raptors jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead on a home run by Mikayla Faulkner. But the killer was the grand slam home run by the Raptors Rayle Glover in the fourth that really settled the matter. Laramie Rewerts hit a two run homer for Douglas County in the fifth for the Huskies first runs of the game. They would add two more in sixth on an RBI
double by Ashlee Kim. “We went in with confidence, but I think we became frustrated after their home run in the first inning,” Rewerts said. “Mentally, we didn’t come back. It was a good season, better than we thought. I think we can only be better next season.” Douglas County coach Brian Stebbins was disappointed with the loss, but not the season. “We had a slow start today and we didn’t take advantage of our situations when we had opportunities,” Stebbins said. “But we battled in the end and I couldn’t be more pleased with the girls. But I think we got hit by nerves. Overall, we enjoyed our regular season.” It turned out to be a short day for Legend as the Titans were defeated by Dakota Ridge, 10-0 in
Mountain Vista’s Madi Garduno throws to the infield Oct. 19. Photo by Courtney Kuhlen | ckuhlen@ourcoloradonews.com six innings on a threehitter. Two Titan hits were by Robyn Leighton and the third by pitcher Madi Hunter. “We came in as an underdog and not many expected us to even be here,” said Legend coach Shelly Boyd. “I’m just so proud of the girls. There has been a lot of surprising moments, but it just didn’t go our way today. The girls have given a lot of heart and certainly proud to have gotten this far.” There are only two seniors on the Legend team
this season, Hunter and Karlee Deaver. “We did play the best we could today, but we lost to a really good team,” Hunter said. “It was a good season. We knew that it would be hard coming in and we just wanted to make sure we gave it our best.” Added Deaver, “We came in with a lot of heart and played the best we could. It just didn’t go our way against a very good team. No one is upset with our season, it was fun and worth all our efforts.”
Grizzlies grind out win over Chaparral Mountain Vista next up for ThunderRidge By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com PARKER - ThunderRidge’s football philosophy has been characterized as being physical up and down the line of scrimmage. Long, time-consuming drives and relentless defensive pressure have been a pillar to the Grizzlies success in recent seasons and not too much has changed this year. ThunderRidge, the state’s No. 1 ranked Class 5A team, relied a lot on this formula to notch an important 14-7 Continental League victory over No. 4 Chaparral last Thursday at Sports Authority Stadium. With the win ThunderRidge moved to 4-0 in the league and 7-1 overall but now must battle Mountain Vista (3-1, 4-4) tonight at Shea Stadium for the league championship. Chaparral, ranked No. 1 two weeks ago before losing to Mountain Vista, fell
to 2-2 and 6-2 overall. The Wolverines are now ranked No. 8. ThunderRidge put together scoring drives of 78 and 57 yards that took a combined 34 plays to grab a 14-0 lead and then held off the Wolverines. “I felt our guys were nervous and tentative,” said ThunderRidge coach Joe Johnson. “I think that was because we were playing to protect some mythical sort of thing. You cannot do that.” Johnson was referring to being the topranked team and the Grizzlies retained that ranking this week heading into the game against a Mountain Vista team that upset then No. 1 ranked Chaparral Oct. 6. ThunderRidge offensive lineman Sam Jones claims the Grizzlies try to ignore the state rankings but admits it is hard. “We try not pay much attention to that,” he said. “It was a big win. Anytime you can beat Chaparral is big.” ThunderRidge finished with 285 yards total offense including 224 yards rushing. Steve Ray ran for 114 yards on 30 carries and one touchdown. Jake Hand added 81 yards on 19 attempts and also scored a touchdown. “We’re running the ball pretty well out
of our I set,” said Johnson. “We have some big, physical linemen, our backs run hard and that was good enough against Chaparral.” Grizzlies quarterback Brody Westmoreland was 4-15-1 for 61 yards but his passing provided enough balance to compliment ThunderRidge’s grind it out offense. “That used to be ThunderRidge football,” Jones said, “but our quarterback is playing well this season. “We can push the ball when we have to.” ThunderRidge’s defense, coming off an Oct. 11 game against Douglas County when it surrendered 40 points and 457 yards total offense, held an explosive Chaparral offense to seven points, 28 points below its season average. “Our defense struggled a little bit last game but what a great game against Chaparral,” exclaimed Johnson. “I’m really happy for our defense. “They (the Wolverines) had put up some big numbers on some people. That number one (Brandon Malone) and number 80 (Mitch Parsons) are dangerous receivers and their quarterback (Max Kuhns) throws the ball well.”
Kuhns was pressured the entire game by a strong Grizzly pass rush but still completed 22 of 35 passes for 243 yards. Dylan McBain did intercept a Kuhns pass. ThunderRidge sacked Kuhns three times with Jaron Beerline credited for one and John Adam was in on the other two. “Our lines on both sides of the ball played well,” Johnson said. “That’s a strength for us. The O line has to cut out some of the pre-snap penalties but we get off the ball, attack people and block pretty well. “That was the best pass rush we’ve had all season and it was a good time.” Malone wound up with seven catches for 85 yards and Parsons and Blake Harris each had five receptions for the Wolverines. ThunderRidge held Chaparral to only 43 yards rushing and the Wolverines leading rusher, Zac Guy who returned to the lineup after missing two weeks with an ankle injury, gained only 16 yards on 10 carries. “Our defense played great,” Jones said. “It’s a love-hate relationship because we go against them every day in practice.”

Sports roundup: Smith leads Huskies over Falcons Junior running back runs for school-record 448 yards By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Douglas County junior running back Trey Smith set a school record last Friday night when he rushed for 448 yards in a 38-14 Continental League victory over Highlands Ranch. Smith carried the ball 26 times and scored four touchdowns as the Huskies (2-2, 5-3) overcame a 14-10 halftime deficit to outscore the Falcons 28-0 in the second half. For the season, Smith has run for 1,527 yards on 158 carries and is averaging 190.9 yards per game. He is the second leading Class 5A rusher in the state, trailing Thornton’s Keynan Huguley who has gained 1,636 yards. “He did a great job,” said Douglas County coach Jeff Ketron of Smith. “The offensive line obviously played a big role as did our wide receivers and other running backs. “Trey has great speed with long strides. It doesn’t look like he’s going fast but he is. He has great break away speed but I think the best thing is he has unbelivable vision and real good hips, real good balance.” MOUNTAIN VISTA WINS - Mountain Vista defeated Regis Jesuit, 28-21, and the Golden Eagles now have a chance to at least gain a tie for the Continental League title. Mountain Vista (3-1, 4-4) will play league-leading ThunderRidge Thursday night in the regular season finale at Shea Stadium. Quarterback Ryan Rubley completed 10 of 17 passes for 186 yards and one touchdown to spark Mountain Vista over the Raiders. Rocco Palumbo grabbed five of Rubley’s passes for 118 yards and caught the touchdown aerial. ROCK CANYON SECOND - Rock Canyon moved into second place in the Pioneer League after notching a 23-13 win over Legend at Shea Stadium.
Quarterback Ryan Hommel passed for 200 yards and a touchdown for the Jaguars (4-2, 6-2). Legend (3-2, 4-4) dropped into a tie for third place. Running back Eric Williams ran for 152 yards and three touchdowns for Rock Canyon and increased his season rushing total to 1,217 yards. Legend’s Nicholas Evdos scored twice and rushed for 74 yards. VALOR KEEPS ROLLING — The Eagles have now won six straight games, the last a 58-7 romp over Palmer on Oct. 19. Valor Christian (6-2), which played an independent schedule, closes out its regular season Oct. 26 at home against Rock Canyon. They are postseason eligible and will likely be one of the top four seeds when the 5A state brackets are released over the weekend. CHAPARRAL CAPTURES LEAGUE TITLE - Two-time defending Class 5A state champion Chaparral was crowned the Continental League volleyball champions with a 10-1 record. The Wolverines have won eight straight matches and one of those victories was a 3-1 triumph over Legend on Oct. 16 . The Titans finished second with a 9-2 league mark followed by Mountain Vista at 8-3 and Highlands Ranch with a 7-4 mark. Volleyball district tournaments must be completed by Oct. 27 and the regionals by Nov. 3. The state tournament is scheduled Nov. 9-10 at the Denver Coliseum. In the lastest Class 5A volleyball poll, Chaparral was No. 2, Legend No. 7, Mountain Vista No. 8 and Highlands Ranch No. 9. EIGHT ADVANCE - Eight Contintenal League soccer teams were seeded in the state playoffs which began earlier this week. League champion Heritage (9-1-1, 121-2) was seeded third. Ponderosa finished second in the league and the Mustangs (8-3-0, 9-4-2) were seeded fifth in the Class 4A tournament. Mountain Vista, Rock Canyon, High-

ThunderRidge ( 7-7-1) drew a No. 24 seed and Legend (7-5-3) was a No. 25 seed in the state tournament bracket. CROSS COUNTRY - Mountain Vista `s boys won the Class 5A Region 5 cross country meet and the Golden Eagles girls were second. The top five full teams and all athletes who finished in the top 15 qualified for Saturday’s state cross country championships which will be held at Cheyenne Mountain’s Stampede cross country course. Chaparral finished third in the Region 5 boys meet and Rock Canyon was fourth.
Mountain Vista’s Connor Weaver (15:59) finished third in the individual boys race followed by teammates Andrew Walton (16:03) in fourth and Eric Steiner (16:06) in fifth. Other Continential League runners in the top 15 were Rock Canyon’s Lucas West (16:16) in eighth, Chaparral’s Dominic Compoz (16:19) tenth, Jacob Lucero (16:21) of Douglas County 11th, Mountain Vista’s Blake Graf (16:22) 12th, Seth Parker (16:23) of Mountain Vista 13th, the Golden Eagles Noel Wagner (16:25) 14th and Stephen Geisler (16:28) of Mountain Vista 15th.

Chaparral returns favor, clips Falcons in rematch By Criag Harper
dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com Rubber match, anyone? It could happen but would have to wait until the postseason. Two of the best teams in the state’s best league squared off last Thursday, and two-time defending Class 5A champion Chaparral exacted a measure of revenge for one of its two losses. The third-ranked Wolverines prevailed in the rematch with a 3-1 (2826, 25-21, 14-25, 25-18) victory at No. 8 Highlands Ranch. The operative word is “measure,’’ as the Falcons’ 3-0 win in the Regis Jam on Sept. 1 was a fleeting memory. “We came into it not really thinking about the last time because we’re concerned more about our own side,’’ said Chaparral co-captain Abby Shelton. “And we’re definitely a different team than when we played them early.’’ “That was at the beginning of the year, and we have a completely new rotation,’’ added Morgan Stanley. Indeed, Stanley was on a recruiting trip to California when the first match was played - a visit that resulted in the outside hitter committing to Sacramento State. “The big difference between the be-
ginning of the season when we played them was they didn’t have Stanley,’’ said Highlands Ranch coach Lou Krauss. “She’s worth four or five points a set, and that’s about how much we beat them by.’’ Chaparral (17-2, 10-1 Continental) had clinched a third-straight league title with a 3-1 victory over No. 6 Legend on Tuesday, but coach T.R. Ellis wanted her team to believe they had only secured a tie. “I didn’t tell the girls this game didn’t matter. I think they thought they were playing for the title,’’ she said. Despite that and the revenge factor, “We should have played a lot more inspired,’’ Ellis said. “We played a great game against Legend. Tonight was OK, but not a great match. It’s tough to play a team that’s tipping the ball like they do. They play small ball; they camp out in the middle and go tip-tip-tip. But we played during the fall break on their court and won.’’ Chaparral led for most of the first, second and fourth sets against the Falcons (14-5, 7-4), but had to survive two set points for the Falcons before taking the first set. “I actually thought we had it because we got a nice pass and I thought we were going to side out,’’ Krauss said. “Then we made a little error that was very unchar-
acteristic, and that tied it back up again. I think if we would’ve won the first set it might have been a longer match.’’ “We buckled down,’’ Ellis said. Highlands Ranch dominated the third set, but Chaparral pulled away late in the fourth behind Shelton (15 kills) and Stanley (16 kills). “They run a pretty simple offense,’’ Krauss said of Chaparral. “They don’t have to do a lot well. They just have to get it to the outside, and they’ve got two girls (Shelton and Stanley) who don’t error too much and hit the ball really hard -- that’s one thing we don’t really have. “We had the defense set up for that. We dug a lot of balls, but, still … I mean, it’s not a high-risk (offense). If I had someone to do it, I would do it, too. But we need to score points by running a whole lot of different things. And we made too many unforced errors.’’ “We have two of the best hitters in the state,’’ Ellis said. “That’s our bread and butter.’’ After losing the third set, “We thought it was important to end this one playing Chaparral volleyball going into the fourth game because next weekend we have the Cheyenne Mountain tournament,’’ Shelton said. “We’re going to save some fire going into next week.’’

posers Tartini and Vivaldi for two new ballets by BNC: “Dangerous Liaisons.” Performances are set for Parker’s PACE Center and the ballet’s home turf in Federal Heights. “Dancer/choreographer Sarah Tallman has created a work to Vivaldi’s music and I am working now with Tartini,” Ammons said recently. “Every choreographer has different ways of working — what is represented in those composers — not a definitive storyline — we leave that to viewers. “We’ve embraced music that is complex, textured, with virtuoso playing. There’s humor and it’s sensual.” The recorded music with which they are rehearsing includes harpsichord and violin. Dancers won’t hear entire orchestrations until final rehearsals in the PACE Center theater, when the orchestra “fleshes out the sound.” This will happen a week before performances. “It’s a wonderful adventure — a great way to create work. There are some adjustments. Baroque music is very improvisational — soloists are free to interpret in their work, as in jazz.” This is Ammons’ first experience with a Baroque orchestra, although
he has worked with jazz musicians. He sees a natural synergy between contemporary dance and Baroque. Ammons started his career in music, choir, musical theater, dance. “I fell in love with dance and focused.” He attended Houston Ballet Academy, joined that company, next moving to Oregon and Ballet Memphis. He and his wife, Associate Executive Director Dawn Fay, moved to Colorado in 2007 and started Ballet Nouveau Colorado, which is headquartered, with its school, at 3001 Industrial Lane in Broomfield. It’s home performance venue is the Performing Arts Complex at Pinnacle Charter School, 1001 w. 84th Ave., Denver, where this production will repeat on Nov. 10, 11. The Baroque Chamber Orchestra of Colorado debuted in 2005, it’s a professional period-instrument ensemble focused on the “musical riches and spirit of improvisation of the 17th and 18th centuries.” Artistic Director Frank Nowell founded the orchestra. Sets for “A Dangerous Liaison” will be minimal, Ammons said. “The production is focused on dancing… full of surprises, whether audience members are music lovers or dance lovers. It’s a good opportunity to see both.”

This is a recently updated version. “I’m supposed to pay good money to get wrong numbers?” is Green’s cranky response, the first of many in this vein from a lovable, but irritable, old guy, who may remind the viewer of someone they know. Green’s beloved wife of 50-plus years has died recently and he hasn’t the slightest idea how to manage on his own.
