Woman arrested in fatal C-470 crash Police say driver fled accident scene, reported car stolen By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com The young woman arrested in a Nov. 1 fatal crash in Lone Tree told police her car was stolen, but witness testimony and a

videotape from a Parkerarea 7-Eleven tell a different story. Police evidence suggests that a Halloweencostumed Erin Finn, 20, of Lakewood, fled the scene with a witness at the accident site, then called Finn another woman for a ride home and later reported that the car she was driving had been stolen. Dennis Dolce, 51, of unincorporated

Jefferson County, was killed when the car Finn was driving crossed the median on C-470 and smashed into his SUV, authorities said. Finn was charged with vehicular homicide and is being held in the Douglas County Jail for her suspected role in the early morning crash that killed Dolce. Authorities say a white Pontiac Grand Prix driven by Finn was westbound on C-470 about 3 a.m. when she lost control, crossed into the eastbound lanes just west of Interstate 25, and collided head-

on with the Ford Escape driven by Dolce. Dolce died of blunt force trauma, according to a coroner’s report. Another driver, who stopped at the accident site and called 911 to report it, told police that a woman at the scene approached him and said, “I need to get out of here.” She was wearing a black Halloween costume, and her face was painted white with a red, bloody-looking area on her left forehead, he told police. She asked the man for a ride, and he Crash continues on Page 22

Gardner garners District 4 victory District now includes most of Douglas County Staff report Republican Cory Gardner will be the new representative in the U.S. House for Lone Tree and much of Douglas County. Gardner, the incumbent in the 4th Congressional District, defeated Democrat Brandon Shaffer roughly 59 percent to 37 percent in the Nov. 6 election, according to results posted early the next day. The remainder of the vote was going to Libertarian and American Constitution candidates. While Gardner isn’t Gardner new to the district, Douglas County is. All of the county had been in the 6th Congressional District until the boundaries were redrawn last year. Only Highlands Ranch remains in the 6th. The heavily Republican 4th District comprises more than 20 counties and 30,000 square miles, mostly in the eastern plains area of Colorado. But Gardner feels there is an important issue that transcends any geographic or cultural differences between rural, agricultural towns and suburban Douglas County communities. “My focus has been on the economy and business issues and what we can do to provide the best constituent service,” the Yuma resident said in a September interview with Colorado Community Media. “I’ve driven 60,000 miles to provide that service and openness to constituents.” Gardner joined the Colorado House of Representatives in 2005. In 2010, he defeated 4th Congressional District incumbent Betsy Markey. Shaffer, a Longmont resident, has served in the state Senate since 2004. He has been Senate president since 2009, but term limits mean 2012 is his final year in the state Senate. MORE ELECTION COVERAGE ON PAGE 2 AND ONLINE AT OURLONETREENEWS.COM

Class fires up students Fire science program second of its kind in state By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Rock Canyon High School senior Hunter Tyson always has dreamed of working in the fire service. So when he learned about Rock Canyon’s new Fire Science First Responder program, he immediately registered. “There was no question I was going to join this program,” he said. “I love it. What’s surprised me is how much this program offers for a future career.” RCHS is one of two high schools in Colorado with a Fire Science program; Jefferson County’s Warren Tech career and technical high school also offers one. It cost the Douglas County School District about $65,000 to launch the program, including buying a fire engine, ambulance and gear for students. Students who graduate from the three-part, two-semester program will

ELECTION 2012

Voters pick Brauchler as district attorney GOP candidate wins in 18th By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Republican George Brauchler will be the new district attorney for Douglas, Arapahoe, Elbert and Lincoln counties, defeating Democrat Ethan Feldman 53 percent to 47 percent, according to unofficial results released on the morning of Nov. 7. Brauchler takes over for term-limited Republican Carol Chambers. With returns coming in slowly in Arapahoe County late on Election Night, Brauchler expressed cautious optimism that he had landed the job in the 18th Judicial District. “I’m very confident,” he said, as supporters at the Highlands Ranch LoDo’s sports bar gathered around him to offer hugs, handshakes and congratulations. “We came into tonight very confident.”

By the morning of Nov. 7, Feldman posted a statement of concession on his campaign website. “It appear the voters of the 18th Judicial District have spoken and I will not be the next DA,” he wrote. Feldman lost despite many high-profile endorsements, including those from Republicans such as Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson and former District Attorney Robert Gallagher. The race was critical this year, some said, with the district thrown into the national spotlight by July’s Aurora theater shootings. Brauchler’s confidence grew with each passing minute on Election Night. While the definitive answer that hinged on Arapahoe County did not come by night’s end, he admitted the math was in his favor. His words changed from that of a candidate to a district attorney. “What people can expect is the same bold, new, energetic leadership I’ve been campaigning on since I came back from Iraq in October,” Brauchler said. “This is the most populous jurisdiction in Colo-

rado. We have every reason to expect and demand the best district attorney’s office in Colorado.” Feldman offered his gratitude the morning of Nov. 7. “I want to thank all the people who worked so hard for me, and supported me,” he said. “I wish Mr. Brauchler well.” Brauchler has plenty of work ahead of him. “This is going to be a significant transition,” he said. “The first thing is to spend these next two months trying to transition into an office that literally hasn’t had anyone outside of it elected to take it over since 1968.” Brauchler thanked supporters, many of whom he said don’t have a history of heavy political involvement. Their belief in him “is humbling,” he said. “It creates more pressure. I want to vindicate the trust these people have in me.” Brauchler lives in Douglas County and spent much of his career as a military prosecutor. Feldman lives in Arapahoe County and was a defense attorney, judge and prosecutor.

Partridge wins District 2 commissioner post Colorado says yes Local Republicans keep legislative seats Staff report Republican Roger Partridge will be the new county commissioner for District 2. The Sedalia resident, who narrowly defeated former Castle Rock Mayor Randy Reed in the primary, won handily in the general election. With most votes counted early Nov. 7, Partridge had 63 percent. Democrat Terry Krow received 31 percent of the vote and Libertarian Matthew Hess 6 percent. Partridge takes Partridge over for Steve Boand, who is term-limited after having served since 2004. District 2 encompasses Castle Rock, Castle Pines and surrounding parts of the county.

State House District 43

Republican incumbent Frank McNulty secured a fourth term in

the state House. He beat Democrat Gary Semro 62 percent to 38 percent, according to unofficial results. McNulty has served in the House since 2006. The Highlands Ranch resident was elected speaker of the House in 2010. The district is made up of Highlands Ranch.

State House District 44

Chris Holbert, the Republican incumbent, won a second term by a large margin. The Parker resident took 75 percent of the vote against Libertarian opponent Jarrod Austin. The district primarily is made up of Parker and Lone Tree.

State House District 45

Republican incumbent Carole Murray easily wrapped up a third term. The Castle Rock resident won 67 percent of the vote. Democrat Anthony Stoughton received 29 percent of the vote and Libertarian Hanna Kjerengtroen got 4 percent. District 45 includes Castle Rock and southern Douglas County.

State Senate District 4

Mark Scheffel, the Republican in-

cumbent, won a second term. The Parker resident garnered 65 percent of the vote. Democrat Holly Gorman received 31 percent of the vote and Libertarian Chris Grundemann picked up the remainder of votes. The district includes Castle Rock, Parker and some unincorporated areas of Douglas County.

RTD Board of Directors, District G

Incumbent Jack O’Boyle faced a stiff challenge from former Parker Mayor and Town Councilmember Gary Lasater. Lasater was narrowly leading 51 percent to 49 percent late on Election Night. The number of votes separating them was less than 1,000. The district includes, among other areas, Parker and Lone Tree.

RTD Board of Directors, District H

Incumbent Kent Bagley won another term. Unofficially, he picked up 52 percent of the vote. Ken Mihalik and Tom Grushka got 31 percent and 17 percent of the vote, respectively. The district includes Highlands Ranch, Littleton and west Centennial, among other areas.

to legal marijuana Staff report Colorado voters gave the go-ahead to widespread legalization of marijuana, with Amendment 64 passing by a 10-point margin. Results released on the morning of Nov. 7 showed the measure prevailing 55 percent to 45 percent. The amendment requires legislative and regulatory action in the months ahead to take effect. The amendment will clear the way for people 21 and older to possess small amounts of marijuana for recreational use under state law. The Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol was behind the drive, and as the name suggests, the amendment will permit the sale and possession of marijuana with controls similar to those for alcohol. However, much is un-

known, including how the federal government will respond. The federal government classifies marijuana as a Schedule I drug, putting it in the same category as heroin and LSD. Schedule I drugs are those that the government says have no medical use and a high potential for abuse. Even before the vote, there were stirrings that indicated federal displeasure with Colorado’s existing medical-marijuana provisions. Federal authorities had sent letters to medical-marijuana retailers near schools telling them to shut down, and letters to the retailers’ landlords warning of the possibility of asset seizure. It also is questionable where recreational marijuana will be sold. Communities can bar its sale, and some elected bodies have already taken stands against the amendment. Voters may have bought the arguments of Amendment 64 supporters, who said enforcement of marijuana laws diverts police from more important duties and taints good citizens by tagging them with criminal records. They may also have been swayed by a plan for an excise tax that could funnel $40 million a year into school construction. Opponents of Amendment 64 raised fears of increased marijuana availability for young people, and increased danger to society from impaired people driving and performing other risky tasks. While the amendment permits marijuana use under state law, it is unclear what changes could occur in employment policies for people who test positive for long-lasting marijuana metabolites. The answers to all these questions should play out in the months ahead.

Golf clubhouse keeps ’80s theme y SSPR still considering partners in renovation By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Lone Tree’s outdated golf clubhouse won’t see major changes anytime soon. South Suburban Parks and Recreation, which owns the building and golf course, halted negotiations with management company Troon Golf, but hasn’t ruled out the idea of expert help. “We’re still looking for partners in the clubhouse,” SSPR director Dave Lorenz said. “Troon didn’t seem like it fit. Economically, we just didn’t feel it was in the community’s best interest.” SSPR needs help with its clubhouse, not the golf

course, and Troon specializes in managing entire golf properties. The criticism in Lone Tree is about the clubhouse, not the course, Lorenz noted. “We didn’t think they could do much to improve the golf course.” But he said there’s been “a lot of interest” from others who would like to take on the clubhouse management and renovation. SSPR’s decision not to partner with Troon is disappointing to Lone Tree’s Dan Murphy, who earlier this year advocated for severing the relationship between SSPR and the city. The recreation group manages all Lone Tree’s recreational amenities, including the golf course and clubhouse, and Murphy felt the city could do the job better. He was particularly critical of the clubhouse, and recommended Troon as a potential manager. “I think they very

uniquely qualified,” Murphy said. “I think they were the ones who could have gotten it over the top. I think what we’re going to find is, two years from now everything will just stay the same.” City council members also liked the idea of Troon and the clubhouse renovation, but Mayor Jim Gunning said he hasn’t given up hope. “The city thought the Troon concept was worth pursuing, and we appreciate the fact that South Suburban put so much due diligence into it,” he said. “I think the city remains watchful as South Suburban continues to communicate. They’re still looking at different options.” Disappointment aside, Murphy said he doesn’t have time now to pick up the secession effort he spearheaded in late 2011 and early 2012. In response to his initial push for Lone Tree to secede

from SSPR, the city spent $40,000 on an independent study that concluded such a split would require a tax hike. “I generally like to work with city council,” said Murphy, who campaigned for the 2008 bond issue that helped renovate Cook Creek Pool. “Sometimes I do have to shake some trees with them to get going. But ultimately, if they’re not going to get on board, I do not have that much time and energy.” Lorenz is the first to admit SSPR isn’t geared toward restaurant and hotel management. The clubhouse, including its 15 hotel rooms, was built as the focal point for the Lone Tree development in the mid-’80s, and its decor still reflects that period of time. SSPR acquired the Lone Tree Golf Club for $4.7 million in 1991, when the developer went into foreclosure.

Bikes for Tykes wheels out holiday campaign Project is bright spot for abused, neglected kids By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com When Jeff Fleck started the Bikes for Tykes program, his hope was to deliver a simple gift to children in a place of darkness. The program reaches children who are victims of abuse or neglect in Douglas County and the south metro area. The gift of a donated and refurbished bicycle is delivered through nonprofit agencies that serve children at risk. In its first year, the program served about 70 children in

Douglas County. This year, Castle Rock resident Fleck expanded his program to a warehouse near C-470. By mid-October, he had 1,000 bicycles collected for the 2012 holiday distribution season. He can hardly wait to see the look on the faces of those first children who open the warehouse doors the day they arrive to select their bike. “It’s awesome, it’s like riding a bike all over again for me,” Fleck said. “We all know the feeling of our first bicycle. We all know the feeling of freedom, almost the feeling of flight.” Fleck started Bikes for Tykes when he watched his brother-in-law, Craig Secher, run Realities for

Ex-deputy coroner charged with theft Authorities also looking into missing drugs By Ryan Boldrey

Principal represents state in nation’s capital

Redstone Elementary’s Wilson among 60 honored By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com The duties that come with being a principal are, for Laura Wilson, a means to an end. And that end is children, who she says are the highlight of her days at Redstone Elementary School. “The best is kids high-fiving me, giving me hugs,” she said. “I love helping special-needs students. Also, being able to play and have fun like a child yourself. “It’s not this stuff,” she said, indicating the paperwork on her desk. Wilson was honored to be chosen among just 60 principals from around the country as a National Distinguished Principal, an award given by the National Association of Elementary School Principals. She spent two days in October at the National Distinguished Principals program in Washington, D.C. “It was a little like being in a beauty pageant, and I represented Colorado” she said. “I don’t do this job for accolades and awards, but it’s nice to be recognized.” Wilson knew she wanted to be a teacher when she was in high school, working a side job as a children’s dance instructor.

She never envisioned becoming a principal, but a principal who observed her during her first teaching job in Aurora spied Wilson’s leadership abilities. “She saw the potential,” Wilson said. “I was good at coaching. She really pushed me.” Wilson was principal at Redstone Elementary the day the Highlands Ranch school opened in 2006. Her greatest source of pride is reaching a years-long dream this fall of putting an iPad in every student’s hand. The school held a series of fundraisers to reach that goal, raising about $55,000 three years running. The increased enthusiasm Wilson sees among her students now has exceeded her expectations. “It’s opened the doors of communication and learning,” she said. “Schools and education are changing, and we need to change as well.” While schools throughout the district are integrating technology into classrooms, Redstone is the first to have iPads for each student. Educators from across the country call Wilson to ask about the impact iPads are having, and to learn how the school realized its goal of one per student. “Our school mission is `A school of possibilities,’” Wilson said. “I pride myself on making the impossible possible.”

Former Douglas County Deputy Coroner Carter Lord is facing felony charges of theft, embezzlement of public property and forgery for alleged actions dating to his time with the county. Lord is accused of stealing at least two firearms valued at more than $1,000, according to documents from the state attorney general’s office. He faces three counts each of embezzlement and forgery. If convicted, Lord, who was also arrested on a DUI charge in March near Sedalia, could face up to six years for the theft charge, up to three years for each count of em- Lord bezzlement and up to six years on each count of forgery. The first of the weapons was discovered missing from the coroner’s office last year by Coroner Lora Thomas, who had defeated Lord in the 2010 Republican primary. Once Thomas saw there was a weapon unaccounted for, she turned the case over to the authorities. As Lord, who served under Coroner Wes Riber, was a suspect in the investigation, and Sheriff David A. Weaver had endorsed Lord’s candidacy against Thomas, the sheriff’s office passed the investigation on to the Colorado Bureau of Investigations. “The reason I ran for this office was because I knew about the mismanagement here,” Thomas said. “I inherited a situation here. I’ve been here for about two years and it’s a totally different environment. We are accountable, professional and efficient.”

In addition to the charges against Lord, inventories by the coroner’s office in September found that thousands of dollars’ worth of confiscated medications are missing from storage facilities. “Both situations came about while my staff and I were looking at evidence here in the office, and because of irregularities in both cases, I notified authorities,” Thomas said. “In both cases I did so the day I discovered an irregularity.” Thomas said there was not a proper evidence room when she took office and that confiscated medication was kept in an unmonitored room along with office supplies. “Since I’ve been here we’ve created a separate locked evidence room with an overhead camera and put procedures in place to make sure no more pills walk out the door,” she said. Thomas said it is part of a standard death investigation process for the coroner to confiscate all prescription medications. This is done for multiple reasons, including determining whether a person may have overdosed, understanding what the person was being treated for, who their physicians were, and because it is illegal for anybody to be in possession of controlled substances not prescribed to them. Thomas said it is also standard procedure for the coroner’s office to properly dispose of all medication after a year; however, if the investigation is not closed, the office will hold onto the medication longer. She said that in going through old evidence, she found confiscated medication in an unlocked room dating back to 2007. Sheriff’s office spokesman Sgt. Ron Hanavan confirmed an “open and active investigation” into the missing medications, but declined to release further details because the investigation is ongoing. The attorney general’s office would not release the details of Lord’s bond, and no trial date has been set.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

It is what it is — but it always is Maybe it’s “It is what it isn’t,” but around here it is definitely not “It is what it is.” We are not pro-slogan, phrase, or cliché in this tract house. We don’t do “One day at a time” or “Let go and let God.” We also don’t do “do.” So don’t be asking me to “do lunch.” We eat lunch. I avoid clichés like there is no tomorrow. Like the plague. I am not interested in gimmeexpressions. I prefer to reach a little further than a “calm before the storm.” “Katie bar the door” is better. And “A hearty man eat a toad” is better still. Clichés enable us to all-purpose a thought or reaction without really thinking or reacting. Trying to really say something meaningful puts us between a rock and a hard place, and who wants that? You would have to have bats in the belfry. You’ve heard me say over and over that we no longer care about what we say over and over. I just returned from New York City, barely, just ahead of Sandy, and everyone everywhere was tapping away

like fat little pigeons — on their cell phones, and each of them was sending this identical message. “It is what it is.” It’s a phrase that means absolutely nothing but implies that it covers everything. It is empty. The language cupboard is bare. It’s garbage in and garbage out. I will bet you a squeaky wheel that you will hear “It is what it is” more than once today. Chances are you will say it your own self. It gets worse. Americans have turned their refrigerators into bulletin boards. It’s been reported that 88 percent of us have some kind of malarkey on our refrigerators: appalling magnets (birdies, kitties, piggies, Broncos crap,

cars, cookies, bookies, and Snookies), childish drawings by children, childish drawings by grown-ups, business cards, reminders, photos of grandma holding a fish, a soccer schedule from last season, and a picture of Ann Coulter with horns on her head, something I approve of. It’s not exactly Aesthetics 101. You can buy magnetic letters and create a spell out: “Housework is evil! It must be stopped.” Or even, “It is what it is.” OMG! When someone says, “It is what it is,” I feel like I have been handed a Wish Sandwich: two slices of bread and wish you had some meat in between. I ate a lot of those when I was a kid. It goes without saying that we were as poor as a church mouse. I think that’s what made my father reach for the hair of the dog. Around here life imitates art. It has to because I am an artist. For me, art is the only game in town. When I was a kid I was caught red-handed, painting on the walls. Now I paint on canvases. I have a horse of a different color in the

Just not that important after all The other day as I was reviewing my upcoming calendar I realized I was double booked on a few days, so I began to try and determine if there were meetings I could possibly reschedule or delegate to someone else. In my head I was really focused on rescheduling the meetings because they all seemed very important, and of course I felt like I was the only one who could possibly lead the meetings and deliver the best possible outcome. And so I was staring at the large dry erase calendar in my office that was filled with appointments as my wife came by. She had asked what I was doing and so I told her. Her immediate reply, too immediate if you ask me, was this, “You sometimes think you are more important than you really are.” Ouch, and it still stings a little as I write this, because it’s true.The truth hurts sometimes. She pointed out that I am too quick to want to handle everything and be involved in every opportunity and initiative and that I needed to trust the very capable, smart, and talented people on my team. Maybe she overheard some coaching I had done or read something I had written about delegation in the past, and was now serving me a heaping helping of my own advice.How about you? Are you that important? Are you the only one who can get the job done, or are there people, processes and technology that you can rely on to take some of the burden or pressure off of your busy schedule? Big question, right? It’s a big question because we first have to determine what is truly important to us and what our priorities really are.Every one of us will have the order of our own priorities. Some will consider relationships with their spouses, children, and close friends as first on their list. Others will place their emphasis on their faith. And there are many of us who prioritize our lives and schedules around our work. Then there are the folks who seem to have money as the highest on their list of things most important. Based on where we all are at the present moment, our priorities could easily shift, as each of the above could be increasingly more important at any given season of our lives. As I reflected on my own importance or lack thereof, I realized I could delegate

LETTER TO THE EDITOR DCSD’s evaluation system subpar

a couple of the meetings and avoid a trip or two here at the end of the year. There are people who can complete the task effectively and productively without me, and I can focus my energy and time of other things, things that do matter most. Just like many of you, work and money are a priority for me too. But perhaps I have deluded myself and have made excuses that both were so important that I have accepted placing my family and faith behind work and money. Big mistake. There is a framed poster on my office wall with one of my favorite quotes and reminders by Forest E. Witcraft that reads, “A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, what sort of house I lived in, or kind of car I drove … but the world may be a different place because I was important in the life of a child.” There it is in big print on my wall, right in front of me, I have to pass by it every day I come in and out of my office. And there are pictures of my children, my family, and my friends all over my office, once again right in front of me. I have memories of others so very important in my life embedded in my mind and held in my heart, not only right in front of me but a part of me. Yet, I had to be reminded that maybe, just maybe, I am really not that important after all. Now please don’t take this out of context. I know we are all important in the lives of other people in both our personal and my professional life. I get that. But I think I will accept the fact that sometimes I can allow myself to simply be … not that important. I would love to hear all about your priorities and importance, or lack thereof at gotonorton@gmail.com, and I hope that this will be a better than good week for you.

permanent collection of the Museum of Outdoor Arts. You’ll have to hold your horses when you see it for the first time. I think it will make your day. It might even be a wake-up call for you. I know I created it when I was back in the saddle, artistically. Enjoy. My therapist likes to tell me, “What goes around comes around.” I know exactly what she means. She also tells me, “Craig, it’s three strikes and you’re out.” No way! I know I have two strikes on me and I have fouled off a dozen pitches. But I am hanging in there, because back in the day I had it all going on. Then I barked up the wrong tree. It was monkey see monkey do, and I made a few mistakes. I started to count my chickens before they were hatched. It wasn’t what it is. It isn’t what it was.

Just as we set the bar high for what we expect of our students, the same should be true for teachers. The state’s teacher evaluation model accomplishes this. It was based on the latest research of what works best, sets high expectations for our teachers, and requires support and resources to help teachers improve. Yet in a move that is incomprehensible, the Douglas County School District chose to develop its own evaluation system that is inferior to the state model, actually lowers expectations for teachers and is useless for providing teachers with a roadmap and support for successful teaching (“School District Creates Unique Evaluations,” Oct. 19). How ironic that Douglas County teachers want to be evaluated using a thorough system that provides clear and

concise examples of great teaching by which to be measured, while the school district produces a thin, non-specific document that will do nothing to help teachers grow and develop throughout their careers. The best question that should be asked of a teacher evaluation system is, “Is it good for kids?” The state took nearly two years to develop its good-for-kids system based on input from experts and evaluation models that are succeeding in other states and top-performing nations. The Douglas County School District — which loudly talks the talk about holding teachers accountable — is inexplicably refusing to walk the walk with its substandard evaluation system that is, frankly, embarrassing.

Students hear WWII stories

History preservation project aims to link present to past

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com

Douglas County High School sophomore Sam Morrison knows only stories of his grandfather, who died during World War II in the Allied invasion of Normandy. “He was in the second wave,” Morrison said. “He took a mortar.” Hearing those stories through childhood helped Morrison connect with veterans who shared accounts of World War II experiences during a Nov. 1 assembly at DCHS. Veterans and other Douglas County residents who lived through the war read stories written by now-deceased veterans, and shared their own memories with students. The assemblies were part of a Douglas County effort called Re-

membering Our Veterans that aims to share collected stories from World War II with younger generations. “This was the most significant event of the 20th century,” said Larry Adams, one of the coordinators of the event. “It was incredible — the loss of life, the devastation, the horrors, the global spread of the war. “Our goal is to go into the schools, remind the students what happened and how much we owe to those who served and who didn’t come back.” Volunteers read stories from veterans who described active battle, and from a woman who worked in an arms factory. They also recalled their own experiences. “I was in high school when all this started,” said Maxine McDonald, 86, one of the Remembering our Veterans founders. “We were all very patriotic. Young men in my class in high school, about 65 of them, elected to enlist before the school year was over.”

Bill Kelly, a Navy veteran, remembered food rationing. “I worked in a supermarket when they took the ration off sugar,” he said. “I almost got killed by the stampede because (people) hadn’t had it in so long.” Adams called the two-day event a success. “I was overwhelmed how well it went,” he said. “The students seemed to enjoy the stories. They especially liked to share their own stories that have come down through their families of those uncles, who served in World War II, or even Iraq and Afghanistan. The Remembering Our Veterans project started in early 2011 with volunteers collecting and editing stories from Douglas County veterans. World War II is the first conflict the group is attempting to memorialize, but Adams hopes their longterm work extend to include the wars in Korea, Vietnam and others.

LONE TREE NEWS IN A HURRY Campaign signs can be dropped off The City of Lone Tree is hosting a drop-off recycling site for election yard signs from now until Nov. 23. The drop-off site is at the Lone Tree Municipal Building, 9220 Kimmer Drive. The recycle bin is on the east side of the parking lot and can be accessed from Teddy Lane or Kimmer Drive. Altogether Recycling, a division of Alpine Waste & Recycling, will recycle the signs. Alpine asks the public to remove the metal wickets from the signs and toss the wickets into the roll-offs separately. Instructions on the roll-offs will guide the public. The roll-offs are for yard-sign collection only. After the 2008 presidential election, recycling kept 1.5 tons of unwanted election sign material in the Denver metro area out of landfills. The material in corrugated plastic yard signs can be broken down into plastic pellets, then remade into items like lawn chairs, trash cans or

plastic drawer handles. For additional information, contact the City of Lone Tree at 303-7081818.

Great cause gala

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com

A celebration to commemorate The Wildlife Experience’s 10th anniversary had some of Colorado’s most esteemed residents thanking the museum’s founders for their generosity. More than 700 people attended Expedition 10, a fundraiser gala emceed by Channel 7 meteorologist Mike Nelson and attended by Gov. John Hickenlooper and guests of honor Dave and Gail Liniger. The Linigers are best known for growing real estate giant RE/MAX from a one-office, two-employee start-up into a company that now employs 90,000 people in 90 countries. But perhaps their greatest accomplishment and defining contribution to society was the establishment of The

Dave Liniger, Douglas County philanthropist and founder of The Wildlife Experience, thanks the 700 people who attended the 10th anniversary celebration for the conservation and education museum. Liniger and his wife were also honored for their generosity.

The new reality show “Help Wanted” is filming at Modefi Salon, 8174 S. Kipling Parkway in south Jefferson County Produced by Richard Morrill, Modefi Salon owner and stylist, the show will document the journey of five individuals who are applying for receptionist jobs, but soon realize that they are not living up to their true potentials in today’s challenging job market. Morrill will transform each participant into modern examples of how to present oneself during an interview process. They will receive complimentary makeovers and professional clothing as well as help with resume writing and job placement. More information on the salon: www. modefi.com.

Gov. John Hickenlooper talks about Dave and Gail Linigers’ dedication to educating a new generation of scientists and conservationists at the Expedition 10 celebration Nov. 3. Wildlife Experience, a nonprofit outdoor education and conservation museum on Lincoln Avenue east of Interstate 25 that uses interactive exhibits to teach thousands of kids and adults annually about ecosystems and animals around the world. The Expedition events are the largest fundraisers for the museum, and this year was no different. One silent auction item — a round of golf for 100 people at the Sanctuary, an exclusive golf course in Sedalia that was built by the Linigers — went for $35,000. And with tickets to the elegant evening going for $250 each, several hundred thousand dollars were raised to support ongoing programming at The Wildlife Experience. Hickenlooper, the night’s keynote speaker, praised the Linigers for creating a place that inspires the “next generation of conservationists” to learn about nature at an early age. The Linigers not only poured millions of dollars into the museum to ensure its success, but they have also supported organizations like

Craig Hospital, the University of Denver and various military nonprofit groups, among many others. Joe Blake, former president of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce, said the most difficult part of Expedition 10 was convincing the Linigers to attend an event in their honor. The philanthropists quietly give to charities throughout Colorado and are rarely recognized publicly for their kindness. Dave Liniger, who is recovering from a life-threatening staph infection that spread to his spine and left him hospitalized for weeks earlier this year, stood from his wheelchair and spoke with humility as he described the growth of a museum that was envisioned to be a 4,000- to 5,000-square-foot facility. It has since taken on a life of its own and turned into a “smashing success,” he said. Liniger expressed disappointment that video games have pulled kids indoors, but said he hopes the museum inspires a sense of wonder in children who are eager to discover new worlds.

Only the annual Children’s Hospital Gala would sell out of individual tickets more than two weeks out. Denver denizens dress in their fancy black-tie finery and come out in droves to support such a worthy cause — this time for the 35th year. Some attendees come for the entertainment — this year comedian Craig Ferguson of CBS’ “The Late Late Show” — others show up because the gala is among the top events of the season, and then the majority of the gala goers come to support such a great cause. The event, from 5:30 to 11:45 p.m. Saturday at the Hyatt Regency Convention Center, includes a live auction with a trip to the 55th annual Grammy Awards and a five-night Hawaiian vacation, a silent auction, dinner and dancing. Table sponsorships are still available. For more information, go to www.childrenscoloradofoundation.org/gala or call 720-777-1768. For 35 years, the Rocky Mountain community has contributed more than $25 million to Children’s Hospital Colorado through the Children’s Gala, and the event continues to be one of the largest annual fundraising events for the hospital.

Creede Repertory Theatre packed up a fine-looking set for a Victorian living room, its playwright and most of its cast for the world premeire of “Harry the Great” and trucked it to Lone Tree last week, extending the run for another 10 days for a new audience — through Nov.11. It’s ready-made theater for the handsome new Lone Tree Arts Center, which brought in the busy mountain company from Creede last year also, when it opened. Steven Cole Hughes and Caitlin Wise were last year’s inept detectives in “Unecessary Farce.” Audiences are growing steadily, said director Lisa Grigsby Bates. Almost 60,000 people have come through the doors. “Harry the Great” is written by CRT’s Headwaters new Play Development program member John DiAntonio, who recently appeared as Chicago in Creede’s production of the Mark Twain story, “Is He Dead?” at the Arvada Center. DiAntonio drew on actual historical characters for the well-reported 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, which has been the starting point for books, musicals and plays over the years: Harry Robenstein, a gambler, con

NOV. 1-29

M. Tyler Horn portrays Eugen Sandow, Stephen Cole Hughes acts as Harry Robenstein, Kyra Koelling is Bess Rahner and Brian Kusic is Erik Weisz. The four make up the main cast of characters in “Harry the Great,” showing through Nov. 11 at Lone Tree Arts Center. Courtesy photo man, fake spiritualist and magician (Steven Cole Hughes), is said to be suggested by Harry Houdini as well. Fifi (Emily Van Fleet) carries the story of many young women who worked as “women of the evening” during the fair. Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. (Graham Ward) became a great Broadway impresario. Bert Williams (Cajardo Lindsey) was a black actor who worked with Ziegfield. Eugen Sandow, “Sandow the Magnificent” (M. Tyler Horn is making his Denver debut ), was the father of today’s strongman-bodybuilders. Samantha Robenstein (Caitlin

Wise) was an unconventional woman for the 1890s, who would go disguised as a man when it fit her purpose. Mix all these folks with a few other unsavory types and their plans and aspirations, and the audience comes out with a complicated set of stories that interweave cleverly and provide frequent chuckles. The cast is well-polished by Larry Hecht, a skilled actor and director. Costumes and lighting are well planned and the touch of a ragtime pianist playing at the side of the stage throughout (Evangelos Spanos) just ties everything together in a particularly pleasing way.

Beatle’s art stirs more than interest

Florida gadfly cries fraud about traveling collection

ground; they still have no idea if what they are buying is 100 percent John Lennon or something else — Yoko Ono is trying to rewrite history for profit.” Horowitz says the gallery is always up front about every piece sold, educating clients on each piece and its unique history. “People leave here knowing exactly what they’ve purchased,” said Horowitz. For Arseneau, the bottom line is that buyers need to know that Lennon’s original works were all done in black and white and that anything with color is a collaborative piece under the supervision of Ono, and that limited edition prints must bear a number and original signature by the artist. But according to Horowitz, Arseneau misses the point. “Yoko Ono’s signature appears on many of the pieces to show they are authorized reproductions from the estate; we are really up front about all of this.” More than 3,000 people attended the three-day exhibit, Nov. 2 -4, hosted by Horowitz and California-based Pacific Edge Gallery. “There is one possibility I’m wrong about all this,” admitted Arseneau. “And that would be if John Lennon is still alive.”

By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com For more than a decade, Gary Arseneau, a Florida-based artist, printmaker and self-proclaimed art scholar, has charged those behind the sale of the minimalist doodles by former Beatle John Lennon with fraud. In 1986, six years after Lennon was murdered, his widow, Yoko Ono, began releasing limited editions of her husband’s personal drawings in an attempt to establish him as one of the most important visual artists of his time. It’s with those reproductions, not Lennon’s work itself, that Arseneau takes issue. “The reason why the art is a fraud is simply that everything produced after 1980 is not original. John was dead—the dead don’t create art,” said Arseneau. “These are reproductions that have been colorized and altered by Yoko and others.” Arseneau insists Ono and the curators of a 120-piece John Lennon traveling col-

Photo by Deborah Grigsby lection, recently hosted at The Streets at SouthGlenn in Centennial, are misrepresenting the authenticity in an effort to bilk thousands of dollars out of unsuspecting collectors and fans. Collection curator Richard Horowitz, who has worked closely with the Lennon estate on the exhibit, said Arseneau is a pest.

Quick start propels Grizzlies past Wolves Big lead helps ThunderRidge hold off upstart Westy By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews. com HIGHLANDS RANCH ThunderRidge got off to an incredible start but coach Joe Johnson knows some things have to change. The Grizzlies, the state’s top-ranked team, scored on their first two offensive plays en route to a 63-34 victory over Westminster in a first round Class 5A state playoff game last Friday night at Shea Stadium. ThunderRidge (9-1) moves on to play Cherry Creek (6-4) in a second round game Friday night at the Stutler Bowl and Johnson realizes that 34 points was too many to give up against No. 32 seed Westminster, which ended its season with a 5-5 record. “We won’t survive another week playing defensively like we did against Westminster,” said Johnson. “We have to play better. I know we can. I don’t know why we didn’t. I don’t understand. “Hey, we won and half the teams that started the playoffs are out.” Quarterback Brody Westmoreland made sure ThunderRidge got off to a quick start and put the underdog Wolves in a hole early. On the first offensive play of the game, Westmoreland kept the ball on an option and broke free, made a midfield cutback and sprinted 65 yards for a touchdown.

Then on the Grizzlies next offensive play after forcing a Westminster punt, Westmoreland hit Jake Hand with a short pass over the middle and Hand went 70 yards for a touchdown. That’s 135 yards of total offense on two plays. “With our offense, we go fast, we have our tempo and we know our assignments,” said Westmoreland. “If you can get the lead real quick and get up on a team and usually get them in your grip, it’s hard not to win that game.” Westmoreland accounted for four touchdowns. He was 8 of 14 passing for 188 yards and two TDs and he also ran for two scores while piling up 78 yards rushing. Steve Ray finished with 136 yards rushing and scored three touchdowns for the Grizzlies. “Watching film, we knew what we had to do,” said Westmoreland. “We knew we could hit some passes and we wanted to get off to a quick start so I just had to make my reads and knew my receivers were going to make the catch and my offensive line was going to give me tons on time.” Westminster, however, recovered after falling behind 21-0 in the first quarter and played head-to-head with ThunderRidge for the remainder of the contest. “It’s awful to give up two touchdowns on two plays”, said Westminster coach Kerry Dension, who felt the No. 32 seed his team received was a slap in the face. “When that happened, they woke up. I thought we could move the ball. I told the kids just fight

ThunderRidge’s Bucky Mallory scores a touchdown Nov. 2 during the second half of the Grizzlies playoff victory against Westminster. and we’ll do what we can. They (the Grizzlies) have an unbelievable offense” Westminster, led by quarterback Jordan Thompson and running back Ryan Belearde, actually outgained ThunderRidge 472-448 and that concerns Johnson whose team also had two extra-point kicks blocked. “We have a lot of confidence on offense, we are just not very consistent defensively and that’s how it’s been all year. I hope we’ll be more consistent this week. We need to do what we are capable of doing on the other side of the ball.”

Westminster’s Thompson connected on 8 of 20 passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns. Belearde ran for 140 yards that including a 74-yard TD gallop. Patrick Wilson added 106 yards rushing and Humberto Loera caught both of Thompson’s scoring strikes. Westminster had 52 underclassmen listed on its playoff roster. “With those kids coming back, we should be good,” said Dension. “Back to back years we’ve had running clocks on us. We can compete. I just have to give my hat off to every one of the kids.”

Pomona holds off Mountain Vista in playoff opener Eagles give Panthers all they can handle but Pomona pulls away late By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com ARVADA - The final score made Pomona and Mountain Vista’s first round state playoff game look like a blowout. No. 7 Pomona beat No. 26 Mountain Vista 42-21 Friday at North Area Athletic Complex. But in reality it was 21-14 at one point in the fourth quarter before the Panthers erupted for three more touchdowns. Behind three Chris Marquez rushing touchdowns and two more by Connor Burns, Pomona (8-2, 4-1) literally ran past a better-than-their-record Mountain Vista team (4-6, 3-2), pulling away in the fourth quarter. Pomona will now host reigning state champion Columbine Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at NAAC. “Maybe our guys thought it was going to be a little easier but we prepared like we were playing the New England Patriots,” Pomona coach Jay Madden said. “And thank God we did because we needed every bit of it.” Mountain Vista struck first scoring a touchdown on their opening possession when junior running back Tanner Smith

reached the end zone on the first of his two touchdowns. They would later tie the game 14-14 late in the first half when senior Brendan Kearney caught a 31-yard touchdown pass. “We wanted to come out ready to go, ready to play hard for our seniors and we did that,” Smith said. “We did some good things offensively and defensively in the first half, we just didn’t carry it over into the second half.” Pomona would outscore Mountain Vista 28-7 after the Eagles tied the game. Senior quarterback Ryan Rubley threw a pair of second half interceptions and Pomona turned both turnovers into touchdowns. “In the playoffs you can’t make mistakes, you can’t shoot yourselves in the foot and you can’t have breakdowns,” Mountain Vista coach Ric Cash said. “But it wasn’t for lack of effort because our guys played their hearts out and represented themselves well.” Maybe it is Pomona’s offense that deserves the credit - more particularly Marquez and his offensive line. Marquez scored touchdowns from 1-, 5- and 18-yards which included a brilliant run where he spun completely around a oneon-one defender in the open field in what was perhaps the Colorado high school play of the year. “I am always giving 110 percent but I

Mountain Vista senior quarterback Ryan Rubley makes a throw in the 42-21 loss to Pomona on Saturday at the NAAC. Photos by Pam Wagner have one of the best offensive lines in the state, so I have to give those touchdowns to them,” Marquez said. It was the third time this season the junior running back Marquez scored three touchdowns in a game. Mountain Vista finished their season with an under .500 record but that doesn’t necessarily tell the whole story. Along their journey this season

they knocked off Chaparral, who was the No. 1 ranked team in the state at the time. “We were given up for dead five weeks ago and the only ones who believed we could turn our season around were the guys in our locker room. It’s been a season despite the record and despite our finish we have a lot to be proud of,” Cash said.

McCaffrey, Del Rio lead Valor past Legacy Chaparral rolls by

HIGHLANDS RANCH - There really aren’t any bad seats at Valor Christian Stadium, but Luke Del Rio will argue that he has the best seat in the house. When the senior quarterback hands the ball off to teammate Christian McCaffrey, a junior running back, Del Rio knows big things are getting ready to happen. On Nov. 2, McCaffrey scored touchdowns of 30 and 22 yards on his first two touches and finished the game with four scores as the No. 4 Eagles routed No. 29 Legacy 52-6 in a Class 5A first round game. The Eagles (8-2), winners of eight straight, advanced to the round of 16 with the victory, and will play at No. 20 Regis Jesuit (5-5) on Nov. 9. “He’s the real deal,” Del Rio said of McCaffrey, who finished with 81 yards rushing and 44 receiving yards. “Sometimes, I don’t want to follow through on my play-fakes because I want to watch Christian and see him make a play. He’s so quick and he’s also a really good wide receiver for us. You want to try and nput the ball in his hands as much as spossible because you know that he -has the ability to make a big play.” Del Rio threw two of his four stouchdown passes on the night to DMcCaffrey; the latter a 40-yarder dthat put the Eagles up 42-0 midway -through the second quarter. f “We wanted to get off to a fast start and I thought we were able to -do that,” said Del Rio, who finished fthe night 8-of-12 for 181 yards. “The second quarter, we kind of slowed gdown a bit so we need to do a better ”job of keeping that tempo consisktent, but overall, it was a great team gwin.” . Valor Christian’s defense forced othree turnovers on Legacy’s first three drives, which led to 21 points.

Wolverines exploit Rock Canyon’s defense in 43-3 first round playoff victory By Jim Benton

Photo by Courtney Kuhlen On the Lightning’s fourth series, they had a punt blocked by Valor’s Alex Ulmer. “As a defense, we all feed off of each other,” said senior linebacker Carlos Aviles, who had an interception on the game’s opening series and also had a sack. “You see someone make a play and it makes you want to get the next one. As a senior, I felt it was my responsibility to step up and do something early to set the tone for the game.” Legacy’s Steven Yoshihara played

a solid game, completing 16-of-34 passes for 192 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Wide receiver Mitch McCall caught seven passes for 117 yards for the Lightning, who finished the season with a 4-6 record. “I’m proud of the kids; they worked their tails off,” Legacy coach Wayne Voorhees said. “The turnovers hurt our cause. We did some good things in the first half but you can’t turn the ball over inside your thirty-yard line against a team like (Valor).”

PARKER — Rock Canyon did what the Jaguars have done all season, and it worked for a while last Saturday afternoon but not long enough. Chaparral got off to a sluggish start against Rock Canyon’s man-to-man defense which crowded the line of scrimmage, but the Wolverines rolled to a 43-3 victory over the Jaguars in a first round Class 5A playoff game at Sports Authority Stadium. Wolverines quarterback Max Kuhns completed just two of his first six passes against Rock Canyon but wound up 19 of 26 for 305 yards and four touchdowns. Chaparral, the No. 9 seed, will carry an 8-2 record into next Saturday’s second round playoff game against No. 22 Eaglecrest (6-4) at Legacy Stadium. Rock Canyon ended its campaign with a 6-4 record. “We lived and died with man-to-man coverage all year and they beat us with big plays in man-to-man coverage,” said Rock Canyon coach Tom Lynch. “I wanted to shut down the run and see if we could hold up and play manto-man. “They got us four times for big plays. They beat us and their kid (Kuhns) threw the ball well.” Kuhns threw touchdown passes of 22 and 25 yards to Brandon Malone, hit a 27-yard TD strike to Blake Harris and connected with Drew VanMaanen on a 22-yard TD pass. Harris, a 5-foot-10 senior, had his most productive game of the season with six receptions for 100 yards. Malone also had six catches for 89 yards. “We started slow but we stuck to it, the line blocked good and we just made plays,” said Harris. “We picked it up and he (Kuhns) just threw it up to us.” Chaparral finished with 493 yards in total offense. Zac Guy had 113 yards rushing and scored once. “They played so many guys up on the line of scrimmage, we tried to loosen them, they played zero coverage all day,” said Chaparral coach John Vogt. “We had to throw the ball to help get them off our backs and wake them up.” Lynch has no regrets about Rock Canyon’s game plan. “We moved the ball really well and held them, held them and then they would get a big play in our man-to-man coverage,” said Lynch. “Hats off to them.” Chaparral now faces No. 22 seed Eaglecrest which upset Chatfield 29-7 in the first round. “You are going to get the other team’s best effort every time in the playoffs so we just have to get tougher,” said Vogt. “We want to be 1-0 every week, that’s our motto. It’s now the Sweet 16 and we’ll try to keep going.”

Local teams head to state volleyball Chaparral seniors eye three-peat By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Ahren Moydell and Abby Shelton have been through the pressures that come along with playing in the CHSAA State Volleyball Tournament Moydell and Shelton will be making another appearance at the Denver Coliseum when in the state tournament that begins Friday. Both are seniors who play for two-time defending Class 5A champion Chaparral, which will be seeded third when play begins at 8 a.m. Friday. Three-peat “I think it’s beneficial that we have been there a couple times so we know we have to play our game and play for each other and do the best we can,” Moydell said. “We can’t get freaked out that it’s State and we can’t get overly excited about it. “I remember my freshman year. I was a swing player. I remember the first time I had to go in and serve. I was so nervous. I just knew I could lean on our older players and they calmed me down and helped me out. Hopefully, we can do that for our younger players because we’ve been there before.” Chaparral, the Continental League champions, started its quest for a three-peat by winning the Region 3 tournament last weekend with 3-0 victories over Liberty and Fort Collins. “The key to winning is which team can put plays together, what team plays together the best and plays for the girls next to them because when it comes down to winning the state championship, it’s not whether you can hit the ball, it’s what you want to win for,” explained Shelton. “We call them our sisters but they are our teammates.” Chaparral (21-4) is one of six Douglas County teams to advance to the state tournament with wins in regional tournaments.

Mountain Vista (20-5) won Region 4, Highlands Ranch (19-6) was the champion of Region 8 and Legend (18-6) captured the title in Region 10. Castle View, ThunderRidge, Douglas County and Rock Canyon were eliminated in the regionals. Ponderosa (11-14) won the Class 4A Region 12 tournament and advanced. Lutheran, the undefeated and No. 1 ranked Class 2A team, will be back to defend its state championship after winning the Class 2A Region D tournament. “The state tournament is a different atmosphere because there are so many games going on at once,” Lutheran coach Alicia Oates said. “For the girls who play club it’s not too different but we have a lot of girls who don’t play club so it’s a new experience for them. “And just knowing it’s state adds a little anxiety and excitement. Once you’re in the state tournament, anything can happen. Everybody there is a quality team that has had a great season and anyone can beat anyone on any given day. It’s definitely a little nerve racking for the girls but it’s also a lot of fun because the atmosphere is something you can’t immolate anywhere else.” The following is the pool play pairings with seedings for Douglas County teams competing in the CHSAA State Volleyball tournament which will be held Friday and Saturday at the Denver Coliseum. CLASS 5A STATE PAIRINGS Pool 1 No. 1 Doherty, No. 8 Highlands Ranch, No. 12 Chatfield Pool 2 No. 2 Eaglecrest, No. 7 Grandview, No. 11 Heritage Pool 3 No. 3 Chaparral, No. 8 Cherokee Trail, No. 10 Legend Pool 4 No. 4 Cherry Creek, No. 5 Mountain Vista, No. 9 Lakewood CLASS 4A Pool 4

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com ThunderRidge (9-1) vs. Cherry Creek (6-4) When, where: Friday, 7 p.m., Stutler Bowl Game plan: Tahj Willingham is the player that makes Creek’s offense click. He averages 138.4 yards per game rushing for a Bruins offense that puts up 32.3 points per game and averages 353.4 yards of total offense. ThunderRidge is averaging 50.2 points per game in the past five contests and the offense, led by Steve Ray, Jake Hand and Brody Westmoreland, is averaging 458.1 yards total offense. Extra point: The defenses of both teams have struggled at times this season. Creek has allowed 89 points in the past three games and the top-seeded Grizzlies yielded 34 points and 472 yards in a first round win over No. 32 Westminster. So the outcome of this game could be determined by which defense steps

up. Chaparral (8-2) vs. Eaglecrest (6-4) When, where: Saturday, 1 p.m., Legacy Stadium Game plan: No. 22 seed Eaglecrest got hot at the right time, beating Cherry Creek in the regular season finale and upsetting Chatfield in the first round of the playoffs. Adan Soto has passed for 1,482 yards and 14 touchdowns for the Raptors and Greyson Hoffman and Ryan Willey are the top ball carriers. Extra point: Chaparral has plenty of offensive weapons to hurt the Raptors and the Wolverines have allowed only 17 points in the past three games while scoring 92 points. Valor Christian (8-2) vs. Regis Jesuit (5-5) When, where: Thursday, 7 p.m., Lou Kellogg Stadium Game plan: If you’re looking to see this game in-person, you better plan on arriving at Regis Jesuit High School well before kickoff.

ThunderRidge’s Jesse Krieger runs the ball Nov. 2. The top-seeded Grizzlies take on Cherry Creek Friday at the Stutler Bowl. Photo by Courtney Kuhlen the seating capacity is limited. The Raiders not only have to win – but dominate – the time of possession battle against the Eagles, who with the superquick Christian McCaffrey in the backfield, are capable of turning any play into points. Regis Jesuit must convert thirddowns and keep the chains moving. For Regis Jesuit, that means a heavy dose of Jalen Williams (68-447-4), Trevor Williams (72-381-5) and anyone else that can move a pile two-to-four yards. McCaffrey scored four touchdowns against Legacy last week, and with the season-ending injury to Cameron Gray (23-450-6), he’ll see more carries, along with Daryl Hawkins, a speedster in his own right who has scored six rushing touchdowns on the season. Quarterback Luke Del Rio is a highly-accurate passer and has a bevy of receivers to throw the ball to, including McCaffrey (leads the team with 36 receptions and 10 touchdowns), Alex Ulmer (29-385-3) and Chaz Polson (22-299-3). Extra point: If Valor Christian’s defense forces five turnovers, like it did last week against Legacy in a 52-6 win, it’s

going to be a very long night for Regis Jesuit. The Raiders have to try and keep the game low-scoring entering the second half to have a chance at knocking off the Eagles, who are looking for their first-ever 5A state title and fourth-straight state championship. CLASS 4A Ponderosa (10-0) vs. Green Mountain (7-3) When, where: Friday, 7 p.m., Sports Authority Stadium. Game plan: Green Mountain comes into the opening round playoff game with a two-game losing streak but the Rams can run the ball as evidenced by eight games with over 200 yards rushing. Josh Einerston leads a bevy of Ram running backs with an average of 110.4 rushing yards per game. Extra point: Ponderosa’s defense is stout, allowing an average of 6 points in the past five games. So Green Mountain might have to develop a passing game to compete against a Mustangs team that has scored 27 or more points in eight of 10 games.

Local tumblers end season at state meet By Scott Stocker

sports@ourcoloradonews.com THORNTON - It was a rough day for the Ponderosa and Rock Canyon girls gymnastics teams in last weeks Class 5A state championships at Thornton High School. The championship competition is a two-day event with the team and all-around titles determined on the first day, Friday. The individual events, balance beam floor, uneven bars and vault were contested on Saturday with only 15 qualified for the finals. Rock Canyon, coached by Emily Duarte, finished last in the field of 12 teams with a score of 169.1. Ponderosa, coached by Lisa Fischer, was not entered into the team competition, but did have five girls in the field. Broomfield won the title with an 187.625, followed by Fort Collins, 183.85, and Overland, 183.7. Rocky Mountain’s Keri Peel (38.925) and Lauren Glover (38.7), placed one-two respectively in the all-around, followed by pre-meet favorite Claire Hammen of Loveland (38.375). Taylor Molliconi of Mountain Range (38.3), Erick Pollack of Fort Collins (38.225) and Gabby Maiden of Broomfield (37.825) rounded out the field in the all-around. Ponderosa’s Katie Steward placed 32nd in the allaround with a score of 35.4 while Spencer Elder was 44th for Rock Canyon, scoring 34.3. They were the only girls from either school in the all-around and the only ones from their teams to finish in single events among the top 25. Elder placed 20th on vault (9.45) while Steward had a best individual event finish of 24th on the bars (9.0). Elder finished the day scoring 9.125 on floor, 8.7 on the bars and 7.275 on beam. Steward also scored a 9.125 on floor, 8.8 on vault and 8.525 on beam. In one of the most overall talented fields in years, scoring in the nines proved to be difficult for the Ponderosa and Rock Canyon girls. Rock Canyon’s Monica Sandoval was the only other competitor for Jaguars to score at least a 9.0 on her events. And, that was the number she came through with on vault, finishing 35th, and floor, finishing 45th. Jay Escammilla was the only other gymnast from Ponderosa to score in the nines, with her 9.0 on floor, tying Sandoval for 45th. There were 90 competitors in each individual event. Rounding out those who finished in the top-50 for Rock Canyon were Rachel Teeter (41st bars, 8.7 - 43rd vault, 8.925) and Adrienne Gullia (47th vault, 8.75).

STEM School takes giant step forward

Donation funds engineering lab to give kids leg up on competition

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com

Thanks to a $100,000 donation from the Morgridge Family Foundation, Highlands Ranch’s STEM School and Academy has a brand new engineering lab. Complete with brand-new drill presses, a CNC router, a 3-D printer, band saw and a laser cutter and engraver, the high-tech equipment was purchased for the second-year school in part by the foundation, along with a matching donation from the school. “All this equipment was much needed,” said engineering teacher Mike Shallenberger. “Before the Morgridge family’s gift, kids were basically using all the old equipment that I had collected throughout my career; equipment that had piled up in my garage that was older than the kids. This gets us into the 21st century.” Putting the equipment to immediate use, the STEM Academy picked up four first-place awards and one second out of seven categories at the state’s Best of Robotics competition this October. “With the laser cutter the students could design a gear that was within a thousandth of an inch in tolerance and it worked flawlessly,” Shallenberger said. “So

Andrew Krawciw, second from right, works with students Oct. 30 in one of STEM School and Academy’s labs. Photo by Courtney Kuhlen while other people’s robots were struggling getting stuck in the course, ours went up and down and did everything they were supposed to do every time. We could not have done it without this equipment.” On the day in which the lab was dedicated by Carrie Morgridge and her husband, John, the excitement for the students was simply contagious. “This equipment removes almost all possibility for error, which really makes prototyping a bigger focus and puts less focus on building when we need to prototype,” said ninth-grader George Pandya, who is on the acad-

emy’s robotics team and said that the after-school academy is a huge perk of the second-year school. “We have mentors from just about every STEM field. It’s really awesome,” he said, adding that having the opportunity to work with engineers from United Launch Alliance and Lockheed Martin, among others, helps prepare students for the future. “I wish when I was in high school I had something like this,” said Bill Clark, a retired Ph.D. and volunteer who worked at Hughes Aircraft Research Lab in California and taught engineering at Berkeley. “The technology is so advanced now that everything they get to do and get their hands on is extremely important.” The Morgridge family was treated to a dedication reception at the school Oct. 30, where numerous students took turns at the podium, thanking them and telling them what STEM means to them. Afterward, Carrie Morgridge spoke to the students. “When I was little, education looked a lot differently,” she said. “Email didn’t exist, imagine that. Twitter was something a bird did, the cloud was something in the sky and 4G was a parking space. “What you guys are doing here is so amazing. … I want to thank everyone here for their commitment to America and your commitment to going beyond the status quo.” For more information about the school and academy, visit www.stemhigh.org.

management, fire investigation, city government, or public administration among others. Hannah Patton, another student enrolled in the class, wants to be a flight nurse. “So I’m taking it more for the medical (training),” she said. “This has made me more enthusiastic about it. It’s so much more than I expected.” Rock Canyon acquired a secondhand fire engine — about $100,000 new — for about $10,000 from the Security Fire Department near Colorado Springs. The ambulance used in the class came to the Highlands Ranch school from Delta at a cost of about $6,000. Much of the other equipment — with an estimated value of $70,000 to $90,000 — was donated by various agencies. The program was conceived during construction of RCHS’ Career Technology Education wing, which opened in 2010 with high-tech programs and classes for students from throughout the district. “During the design process, we were looking for a career-tech program,” said Gregg Sheehan, RCHS assistant principal. “We did some surveys, and the interest in this was high.” That interest extended beyond the

campus. Students from ThunderRidge and Highlands Ranch high schools also are enrolled in the program. The Littleton Fire Department has partnered with RCHS in the program. Students will do ride-alongs with Littleton firefighters, and get training in a burn building. Other instruction will focus on fire chemistry, strategy, emergency medical service, public education and physical fitness. Firefighters must be able to move quickly while carrying heavy hoses and wearing bunker gear that typically weighs about 45 pounds. “It’s really a complicated career,” Piccone said. “It’s fire prevention, physical agility, extrication, urban search and rescue. The fire service has evolved way away from spraying the wet stuff on the red stuff.” Seventy percent of the calls to which firefighters respond are medical in nature, with relatively few involving fire. That’s OK by Tyson, who already is certified as a rescue diver and learned the basics of the trade through a fire Explorer program. He’s drawn to the field for altruistic reasons. “It’s knowing you’re helping someone, being able to give back to the community,” Tyson said.

let the woman sit in his car while he waited for police to arrive, according to court documents. The man did not tell police about the woman, and he was allowed to leave the scene after telling them he didn’t witness the crash, according to a court document. The man dropped off the woman at the 7-Eleven near Lincoln Avenue and Interstate 25, where she called a female and asked her to come to the 7-Eleven and pick her up, according to the document. Surveillance video police reviewed from the convenience store showed a dark-haired woman in a black Halloween costume entering the 7-Eleven about 3:20 a.m. A clerk said the woman used the restroom and then the phone, ac-

cording to the document. Police believe a photograph of Finn obtained from the Department of Motor Vehicles matched the woman on the video. At 4:47 a.m., Finn called Lakewood Police to report her car, purse and cell phone stolen. Finn said she’d been at a party on Halloween night, and left with two Hispanic males who came back to her home, according to the report. She said she passed out, waking in the morning when her mom pounded on the door. The men, her purse, cell phone and car were gone, Finn reportedly told police. Police executed a search warrant on Finn’s home, arresting her about 7:30 p.m. Nov. 1. Though Finn said she did not need medical attention, police noted cuts and bruises to her hand, forehead and chest.

Change may cut Centennial Airport noise

FAA moving some departures By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com The Federal Aviation Administration plans to change the way some planes depart Centennial Airport, and neighbors are hopeful it will reduce noise over residential areas. Airport executive director Robert Olislagers said the changes are a result of a two-year FAA study, called Area Navigation, designed to improve safety and efficiency of the airspace surrounding Den-

ver International Airport, but also has benefits for those left on terra firma. “The change mostly affects aircraft departing to the north,” said Olislagers. “Those aircraft using an instrument departure will be required to gain altitude faster and will be directed farther to the east of the airport, over the Cherry Creek State Park area, and that will most likely help cut some of the noise on takeoff.” Pilots would be given very precise way points over the area and then directed toward their intended destination. However, planes not using instrument procedures do not have to follow the new procedure. “Generally, the new flight path will

impact those aircraft that operate commercially, such as charter jets,” said Olislagers. Among other changes, approaching aircraft will see the standard steppeddown descent replaced with a smoother, more stabilized rate of descent, enabling pilots to use less power, save fuel and reduce pollution. The study is part of the FAA’s effort to modernize the National Airspace System, the common network of air navigation facilities and equipment paving the way for satellite-based navigation and better use of airspace capacity. Olislagers said the FAA changes will be implemented in two phases, with the first

occurring on Nov. 15 and impacting only DIA. The second phase, which affects Centennial, will be implemented sometime next year. Centennial Airport is one of the busiest general aviation airports in the nation, with more than 11 million gallons of fuel pumped between five fixed-base operations, and more than 300,000 takeoffs and landings in 2011. The flight path changes follow an earlier announcement by Olislagers that the airport will soon install a series of noise monitoring devices in the surrounding area to collect data and better pinpoint troublesome areas.
