Trees’ history, meaning taking shape

Douglas County called among the top spots for viewing Ute Indian Prayer Trees BY JULIE A. TAYLOR SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

An odd pair of trees lean unlike the others in the grove near Castle Rock. The ponderosa pines rise from the ground at a crooked angle, then straighten. An untrained eye could walk past without realizing the depth of history those Dawson Butte Ranch Open Space trees carry. A growing number of researchers say that centuries ago, Native Americans chose certain trees to become markers, pointing their descendants to water and trails. Today they are known as culturally modified trees. “Bottom line, in my opinion, Douglas County is one of the top five counties across Colorado for viewing culturally modified trees ...,” Colorado historian and author John Wesley Anderson said. Sometimes called Ute Indian Prayer Trees, indigenous tribes would hack off a section of bark up to 8 feet, or bend the trees to point in certain directions, or even create a spiral in the trunk. But because of insects, wildfires and lack of awareness, these living artifacts are disappearing. Researchers began to understand the historical significance and protect the trees across North America in the 1980s, but more are being discovered. And with further studies, more information is presenting itself. Five years ago, Anderson — an El Paso County resident who served as sheriff there from 1995-2003 — started to compile a book on modified trees in the Pike’s Peak region. As he talked with leading researchers, and met with Ute elders, he became more invested in the legacy the tribes left behind. After he published his book, he delved deeper into the topic, and now, along with others, believes the Comanche also had a hand in shaping trees found around Douglas County. As a child, Anderson often found

The twisted trees helped Anderson appreciate the people who created the shapes and scarring, and as he con-

tinues his research, he now focuses on how the natives viewed the entire ecosystem. “The indigenous people in Colorado were more advanced culturally than ever given credit for,” Anderson said, and notes that the Utes are the only remaining tribe on the two reservations left in Colorado. Most tree modifications are estimated to have happened in the 1800s, during the time when trappers, then gold miners and eventually farmers pushed the Utes from their land. The normal lifespan of a ponderosa pine is 300 to 600 years, meaning that if the trees don’t succumb to plague, fires or other influences, they will die out in the next few hundred years. A high concentration of the trees can be found in Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, which was listed on the National Register of His-

toric Places, protecting the artifacts. Other than that, conservation efforts aren’t as high as Anderson and his research peers would like. “I think we’re behind the curve here. Part of that is that there’s so little that’s known about culturally modified trees in Colorado,” said Anderson. “There’s even some pushback from people on and off the conservation about whether prayer trees actually exist.” The Douglas Land Conservatory echos the need for better care of the trees in the county. “To the best of my knowledge, there is no conservation plan in place to identify and conserve those culturally modified trees,” said Executive Director Patti Hostetler.“Hopefully those trees won’t be taken down through forest management processes and can be studied later on.”

The trouble is that many online retailers don’t collect sales tax on behalf of municipalities, Resnick said. “We’ve said we have to solve this problem before it solves us,” Resnick said.

Town council explores future of at-large mayor system Residents weigh in on charter change at public hearing in Castle Rock BY TABATHA DEANS STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On the heels of Castle Rock voters’ decision to change the charter to allow for an at-large mayor system, town attorney Bob Slentz outlined some of the challenges of changing the document, and cautioned council members and residents that it was important to get it right the first time. “If we do not have a transition plan approved by the community and council, this will be a very significant issue a year from now,” Slentz said. Nearly two dozen people attended a special public hearing Nov. 14 at Castle Rock Town Hall, to discuss how the town will proceed with changes to the charter. Voters decided in the Nov. 7 election that they wanted a mayor-atlarge system— meaning they will now vote for the mayor rather than the official being appointed by town council members. Questions for council to consider include outlining mayor qualifications, as well as wording and legalities that go along with changing the charter. For instance, there is nothing in the

charter that specifies when a mayor would be elected. That needs to be addressed and in writing, according to Slentz. Mayor qualifications also need to be outlined with the new system. Redistricting from seven down to six districts also needs to happen. Making any changes to the charter must be taken seriously, according to Town Manager David Corliss. “We live in a litigious society,” he said. “Some people will leave here happy, some won’t be happy. We have to do this legally.” Councilmembers discussed creating an ad hoc citizen charter committee to present ideas for a smooth transition and holding a special election in the spring of 2018. Some residents who spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting expressed frustration at delaying the changes while council members gather more information. “I feel like we’re hitting a very slow wall of dominoes,” said resident Mary Wilson, who was also a petitioner who gathered hundreds of signature in support of changing the charter. “We’re prolonging what voters want. We voted and we want to have an atlarge-mayor and we want you to implement it.” The issue will be placed on the Dec. 5 council agenda, with a resolution on how a citizen commission will be formed.

Douglas County Libraries offer high school diploma program Online program helps those 19 and older BY TABATHA DEANS STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Wendy Wilson, 24, has worked hard to achieve a career in retail sales, working at various outlets in the Lone Tree area. But, she said, she’s hiding a secret. “I never graduated from high school,” Wilson said. “I’ve done OK just by working hard and being a good employee, but I’ve always regretted not graduating, and I’m afraid every time I look for a job and have to fill out an application.” Thanks to a new Douglas County Libraries program, Wilson, and others like her, can earn their high school diplomas through an online program that can be catered to their needs. The district’s new Career Online High School is an accredited online high school designed to help students over 19. In addition to the high school coursework, students also have access to in-person support and career certification in some areas.

MORE INFORMATION To find out more about the Career Online High School, go to www.dcl.org/cohs “What’s great about this program is that even though coursework is entirely online, students have access to a personal academic coach who can offer encouragement and guidance as needed through text, email or by phone,” said Tiffany Curtin, adult literacy specialist with the library district. Like most high schools, the COHS requires students to take elective classes. Students can receive a career certificate, which they can present to future employers, showing they have some background and education in a particular field. Childcare, office management, commercial driving, homeland security and law enforcement are some of the fields students can earn a certificate in. “As an accredited program, students are able to enter college or go into careers with their diplomas,” Curtin said. “And we know that a lot of people who don’t complete their high school SEE DIPLOMA, P10

amounting to more than $10 billion a year. Resnick said online retailers are hesitant to enter into taxing agreements in places like Colorado, where the patchwork of taxing authorities could land sellers in hot water with auditors. “Another part is the tradition that we don’t tax the internet,” Resnick said. “People start to think it’s a tax increase. Technically the purchaser is liable to pay local sales tax, but the state has not enforced that. “At the local level, each city would have to.” Multiply the number of online retailers by the number of municipalities and the scope of the dilemma becomes clear, Resnick said. Resnick and her team run models that examine the state’s financial sustainability in coming decades based on current trends, and present possible scenarios to address problems. “We’ve looked at the possibility of taxing services,” Resnick said. “Services don’t migrate online. Fixing your house, cleaning your pool — those can’t dry up like brick and mortar stores can.” Resnick said another contributing factor of the Retail Apocalypse is an aging society. As people have fewer children and the age of the general populace climbs, spending on material goods drops. Service taxes would make sense under such conditions, she said. “The only other places to generate revenue would be income or property taxes,” Resnick said. “But we have a prohibition on local income tax in Colorado.” And hiking property taxes is pretty unpopular, she said. No easy fix Tax reform is inevitable, said Archer, the Arvada official. Like many metro municipalities, more than half

of Arvada’s revenue comes from sales taxes. “(Tax reform efforts will) have to be organic and come from the citizens,” Archer said. “They’ll need to want better roads or parks.” Amazon’s agreement to collect sales taxes for cities is helping, but it doesn’t fix the problem. “I’d love to say it’s problem solved, but Amazon isn’t even 20 percent of the online market,” Archer said. Arvada takes the relatively rare approach of taxing groceries, Archer said, which has softened the blow. “We have five King Soopers and multiple Safeways,” Archer said. “People still buy groceries here even though they threaten not to.” Government budgets in Colorado are already tightly constrained by the TABOR amendment, Archer said, with funding for education and other government services already anemic despite a robust economy. TABOR — the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights — was enacted in 1992, and it sets a cap on government spending and requires a popular vote for tax increases. The shift toward online retail could have further fallout as the impact comes to bear on the labor market, Resnick said. Nationally, the retail sector has lost jobs every month in 2017, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. The bright side It’s not all bad news, said Golden, of the South Metro Chamber, which is based at the Streets at SouthGlenn shopping center in Centennial. “You can’t find a parking spot on weekends,” Golden said of the shopping center. “Small retailers, those with something unique to sell, can do very well. They have less overhead, less expense and less inventory.” Millennials increasingly seek out localized lifestyles, where they can obtain the necessities of life without having to travel far, Golden said. “I believe there will always be a place for the small shop,” Golden said. “As long as people like walking down the street and popping into stores, they should survive.”

Should schools teach a class on how to manage money? School board will hear recommendations in December BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A community survey completed in 2012 indicated that the Douglas County School District needs to provide more financial-literacy education. Since May of this year, school board member Steven Peck has made it his mission to do that. “People don’t seem to recognize the threat that debt presents on an individual and macro level,” said Peck, pointing out “everybody is going to have a payment of one kind or another.” The lack of financial literacy — a term used to describe the ability to understand how to manage money — stretches farther than Douglas County. A 2015 National Financial Capability Study completed by FINRA Investor Education Foundation, which on its website says it uses grants from nonprofit organizations and agencies to research investor behaviors, revealed that 39 percent of some 25,000 American adults found it somewhat difficult to cover bills and pay for expenses. Only 17 states require high school students to take a course in personal finance, according to a 2016 survey from the Council for Economic Education, which focuses on the economic and financial education of students from kindergarten through high school across the United States. Colorado is not one of them. Ffinancial literacy “deserves its own pedestal and own time, and it should occur in high school,” Peck said. “At what point do we get to talk about some of these more advanced things that will impact students moving forward?” The board of education passed a resolution in July requesting staff to compile information on current financial-literacy offerings in Douglas County schools. The results, presented by Matt Reynolds, chief assessment and data officer for the school district, at an Oct. 17 board of education meeting, show that about a quarter of high school students are taking a course that includes some financial literacy. School board member David Ray said he supports any school that wants to add a financial-literacy class. But he thinks mandating every school in the district to require such a class would have financial implications and would be overbearing. “Where I have issues is when we, as a board, all of sudden force it down all schools’ throats,” Ray said. “Obvious-

NUMBERS TO KNOW A National Financial Capability Study done by FINRA Investor Education Foundation, whose mission is to provide knowledge and skills necessary for financial success, in 2015 surveyed 25,000 American adults. Some of the results include: • 18 percent were spending more than saving. • 26 percent had student loan debt. • 56 percent were not trying to plan for retirement savings. • 50 percent did not have emergency funds. • 47 percent carried over a credit card balance and were charged interest. Sourcewww.usfinancialcapability.org ly, fiscally, we have to be really responsible and not just assume that since it sounds like a good idea, we are going to go out and spend a million dollars.” The board of education also has requested that the district come up with three different options on how to offer financial literacy, which include: keep the graduation requirement at 24 credits and equip teachers with tools to teach financial literacy; add half a credit to the graduation requirement to include a financial literacy class; or add one credit to the graduation requirement to add one year of financial literacy. The last two options, which require materials, staff and training, are costly: Adding a half-credit elective course across the district would cost upward of $1 million and adding a one-credit elective would double that amount, according to Reynold’s presentation. A financial literacy task force, comprised of 10 to 12 active volunteers, will meet several times over the next few months to discuss the future of financial literacy in the district. Recommendations will be presented at a December school board meeting. If the board approves a recommendation, it is likely that it will not take effect for another five years, when the school district’s financial standing improves, Peck said. Although Peck — who was appointed to the board last year and decided not to run for a full term in the recent election — will no longer be on the board when a decision is made, his hopes remain high. “This really isn’t a partisan issue,” Peck said. “It will affect all students.”

Elementary schools collect turkeys for homeless Eldorado Elementary started the tradition 12 years ago BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Alex Franciscotti Loaiza couldn’t wait to be in sixth grade at Eldorado Elementary School. Out of all the canned items and bagged foods collected for the Highlands Ranch school’s annual turkey drive, sixth-graders are in charge of the staple of a Thanksgiving meal: the turkey. “I’ve been waiting all of my school years until I was in sixth grade so I could bring a turkey,” the 11-year-old said as she raced to the back doors of the school, where a moving truck quickly filling with boxes of food was parked. Eldorado’s turkey drive started 12 years ago as a former student’s Boy Scouts project. As the project grew, Jennifer Miller, whose son started the project, reached out to the school’s government class to help coordinate. Each grade is assigned a food item to bring to add to a pyramid of donated items located in the school’s main hallway. Before Thanksgiving, the collected items are sent to the Denver Rescue Mission, a homeless shelter that serves the Denver metro area. “It really has become a community event,” said Inga McAllen, a thirdgrade teacher and adviser of student government. “It is something the Eldorado community looks forward to each year.” Brian Wilkinson and his wife, Susie, whose children went to Eldorado,

ALEX DEWIND are instrumental in transporting the collected items to the rescue mission’s warehouse near downtown Denver. Wilkinson, general manager of Aeronet, a logistics company based in Centennial, volunteers his moving truck and services for pick-up and delivery. “We are blessed folks,” Wilkinson said. “Someone’s got to do it — kindness never stops.” This year, Eldorado students collected 66 turkeys. After picking up the collected items on Nov. 16, Wilkinson’s truck stopped by Saddle Ranch Elementary and Coyote Creek Elementary, which this year both participated in the turkey drive. The school that collects the most turkeys receives a “Golden Gobbler” trophy.

Nonprofit organization provides information about possible hazards ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fidget spinners, a plastic Wonder Woman battle sword and a remote-controlled Spider-Man drone are among the toys topping a consumer safety group’s annual list of worst toys for the holidays. World Against Toys Causing Harm, or WATCH, unveiled the top 10 list Nov. 14 at a Boston children’s hospital. The nonprofit organization has been releasing the lists for more than four decades to inform consumers about potential toy hazards. The Toy Association, an industry

trade group, dismissed the list as “needlessly frightening’’ to parents because all toys sold in the U.S. meet “rigorous’’ safety standards. It also criticized the organization for not testing the toys it focuses on. National toy safety standards are ``inadequate,’’ as can been seen by the high number of recalls each year, WATCH President Joan Siff said. The nonprofit says there have been at least 15 recalls representing nearly 2 million units of dangerous toys since last December. Siff stressed the toys named each year have common hazards that the group sees year after year. She pointed to the “Pull Along Pony’’ by Tolo Toys that’s marketed for children over age 1 but has a 19-inch cord. “We don’t need a testing lab to know that’s a strangulation and entangleSEE TOYS, P14

Deer spoiling for a fight State urges residents to be wary as deer mating season sparks aggression COLORADO PARKS AND WILDLIFE

Throughout Colorado, deer are in the midst of their mating season and Colorado Parks and Wildlife is reminding residents to take precautions to avoid conflicts. “Buck deer can be aggressive and lose their usual wariness of people at this time of year,” said Patt Dorsey, southwest regional manager for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. During the “rut” bucks are territorial and loaded with testosterone. They may attack people that appear to be competitive rivals. Deer can also see dogs as threats. In past years, bucks have gored people and dogs. If you see deer in your neighborhood keep your distance. Never attempt to get close to deer, never feed them and never try to pet them.

program for a variety of reasons, one of which is they don’t feel connected.

Bucks in the rut may also spar with and become tangled in swing sets, volleyball nets, bicycles, vegetable-wire cages, hoses, etc. “We’ve seen bucks hung up in things like hammocks, clothes lines and plastic fencing,” Dorsey said. “When that happens it’s very stressful on the animal and sometimes fatal. It can also be dangerous for people who might come in contact with a deer that is in a stressed-out condition.” So now is the time to take a look at your yard, bring in the summer toys and check if there are other things that can snare deer. If items can’t be removed, CPW recommends tying long strands of brightly colored surveyor’s tape to them which might help to keep the animals away. People displaying holiday decorations and lights are also asked to exercise caution. Lights should be attached firmly to structures, or strung at least eight feet off the ground. Avoid draping lights loosely on top of shrubbery or wrapping lights around tree trunks.

If you do see an animal with items stuck in its antlers call the nearest CPW office. Do not approach the animal or attempt to cut them off yourself. The rut for deer usually continues

until late December. Drivers are also reminded to slow down and be on the lookout for deer on highways. Deer have migrated to winter range and are likely to be close to major roadways at this time of year.

We want to make sure every student has the support they need to succeed.” Students interested in attending COHS need to pass an online selfassessment, prerequisite course and interview, which could qualify them for a grant to complete the program, making the course free. Students

must commit to finishing the program within 18 months, and previous high school credits can be transferred. “Those who don’t qualify for the COHS program are able to take advantage of the library’s high school equivalency prep classes,” Curtin said. “We are happy to discuss all op-

tions with potential students to help them on their path to reaching their education goals.” As for Wilson, the opportunity is one she said she’ll consider. “I like that it’s online, and that I can still work and go to school at the same time,” she said.

As fall and winter progress, deer will continue to move to lower elevations in search of food and water sources. PHOTO COURTESY OF CDOT

Way down under a lot of wrapping, the core of Christmas is still there QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

f you are full of kringle and nog, I don’t want to bring my wet blanket into it very far, even though it’s tempting. The Christmas season once lasted a week or two. Then a month. Now it’s two months. (And if you watch home shopping channels, it’s six months.) Christmas music in November is wrong. I can avoid it in my home. I can’t avoid it in stores. Everyone in America does not celebrate Christmas. Everyone in America who

celebrates Christmas does not celebrate it in the same way. Moneymakers aren’t interested in the illusion of rationality. However, I was delighted to hear that Black Friday is losing its mojo. I am happy for the employees, mostly, who have had to work at odd hours just to serve ravenous appetites for deep discounts on must-have electronics and peeing dolls. Beneath my gruff exterior is a gruff interior. Beneath my gruff

interior is a soft spot for memories, and a wistfulness about some things that have been diminished through the manipulations of others — to an extreme. I am old enough to know that’s how we do things around here. Some weddings, for example. The national average for a wedding day in 2016 was $35,329, according to Fortune magazine. The typical cost to have a justice of the peace marry you is $50 to $100. I may have told this story before.

Aging leads to redundancy. But it’s the best Christmas memory I have. We drove Santa Claus home in a Buick. My father sold Buicks in Uniontown, Penn., in the early 1950s. There was a Christmas parade. I wish I had photographs. I am sure it was simple and sweet and half Frank Capra and half Diane Arbus. I rode up front in a convertible, SEE MARSHALL, P13

Tips for seniors to ensure a joyful holiday season

TODAY’S SENIOR

California, Davis, and University of Miami study found an association between gratitude and a person’s well-being. During a journaling exercise with two groups, those who wrote about the positive occurrences were 25 percent happier than those who wrote about negative occurrences. People with gratitude were also found to experience fewer aches and pains, sleep better at night, and exercise more often. Cultivating gratefulness takes practice, but it’s easy to do. By using

what Charles M. Shelton, Ph.D., calls a Daily Gratitude Inventory (DGI), you can develop a lifelong habit of practicing gratitude. A DGI is a written, daily examination of the blessings in our lives. Whether you journal about your blessings or keep a list, putting them to paper keeps them fresh in your mind. Doing this practice before bedtime sets the mood for a good night’s sleep.

hanksgetting? Sounds like one of those made-up holidays, doesn’t it? We all know there is no such holiday as Thanksgetting — well maybe not technically, but quite possibly a twist on the traditional holiday of ThanksWINNING giving. WORDS On Thanksgiving we typically share our gratitude for all we have been blessed with over the past year. We give thanks for the people in our lives, especially those sitting around the dining-room table with us. We show our appreciation for all of the Michael Norton opportunities we have been given and we cherish the days leading up to Thanksgiving just as much as the holiday itself. The attitude of gratitude is something I have written about quite a bit over the years as I have been told that gratitude is one of the healthiest of all human emotions. When we exhibit gratitude for the people in our lives and for the gifts we have been blessed with, we usually continue to experience greater relationships, and some say that we may have even more to be grateful for. Zig Ziglar’s most famous quote is this, “You can have everything in life that you

Here are other ways to cultivate a spirit of gratitude. Experience the Good Be present and use your senses to savor the world around you. Breathe in the smell of a roaring fire, pinecones, and hot apple pie. Enjoy the sight of flickering lights strung on lampposts downtown. Listen to the sweet sound of the children’s choir performing at a packed mall. Notice the feel of soft ear muffs and fur-lined gloves against your skin. Savor the taste of freshlybaked butter cookies. Embrace People Feelings of love and gratitude are contagious. Spend time with people who make you smile and feel good. Put your best, positive foot forward to make others feel welcome. Enjoy Nature Colorado is nature’s wonderland. Fill your spiritual well with a brisk, cool walk or a leisurely morning hike. Breathe in the fresh air, observe your surroundings and focus on something you are grateful for. Say No and Then Say Yes During the holidays, it’s easy to over-schedule and burn out from busyness. You don’t have to cross off every

want, just as long as you help enough other people get what they want.” You see, here is where we turn gratitude upside down. Not only are we grateful for all that we do receive, but this gives us the opportunity to experience gratitude by helping others. I mean really, how awesome does it feel when we help someone else out, donate time, give charitably and cheerfully to a great cause? It feels fantastic, doesn’t it? I am sure that we have all experienced some form of Thanksgiving holiday where we sit around with our family and share all the things we are grateful for. We hear things like, “I am grateful for my family.” Or, “I am grateful for my job.” Maybe we hear things like being grateful for the meal being served, or some people may express appreciation for the time off and watching football or movies on Thanksgiving. When we stop and think about it, we really do have so much to be thankful for beyond the brief examples given here. Now what if our answers were slightly different? “I am so grateful that I had a chance to help a person stranded on the roadside with a flat tire.” “I sure do appreciate being asked to help serve meals at the homeless shelter.” “I am feeling blessed that my business trip was canceled so I could help out more around the office, at home, and at church this week.” What we get back from giving out is

item on your checklist and please every friend and family member. It’s okay to say no to the activities that lead to exhaustion and stress. Say yes to what you love and enjoy. Fill your days with activities and people who make you happy. Give Back Feeling fortunate – or not? Now is a good time to use your time, talent, and heart to make life better for another. Volunteer at a local soup kitchen or shelter not just on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, but throughout the holiday season and after. Brighten the holidays for a local child by dropping off a toy at a toy drive, such as Covenant Village of Colorado’s Toys for Tots benefit luncheon on Dec. 5. Call 877-341-0295 or visit www.covenantcolorado.org for more information. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of holiday planning, shopping and completing our to-do lists. It doesn’t have to be that way. Pause and focus on your blessings. By practicing gratefulness, you’ll experience holidays filled with joy, peace and happiness. Kent Mulkey is executive director at Covenant Village of Colorado, a faith-based, nonprofit, continuing care retirement community located in Westminster. He is one of a team of professionals who writes about senior living, retirement, and health and wellness. For more information, visit http://www.covenantcolorado.org or call 877-341-0295.

almost always so much more powerful to us personally and professionally when it comes to the feeling and attitude of gratitude. The best part about this, and as the people who are constantly giving out can share with us, is that they never do any of it with any expectation of receiving anything in return. They never say, “I am helping out here because I know I will need help one day myself.” That never happens. People who give from the heart, those who give charitably and cheerfully, know full well that the gift of gratitude that they experience simply comes from the doing and the giving. And when Thanksgetting rolls around each year, these folks already know what they are grateful for, the chance to receive that feeling and sense of appreciation and accomplishment for doing what comes very naturally. So how about you? Are you celebrating Thanksgiving or Thanksgetting? Because as Zig said, “You really can have everything in life you want, just as long as you help enough other people get what they want.” I would love to hear all of your Thanksgiving or Thanksgetting stories at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we remember it really is all about the other people in our lives and all of the blessings we receive when we do give back, it absolutely will be a better than good week.

next to my father, and Santa was in the back seat. He waved at everyone, and threw candies. He hit one kid in the forehead. When the time came, Santa said, “Please take me home.” My father said, “OK, Ed, uh, Santa.” Santa lived a couple of blocks from us. I wish I had kept a journal. This would have been my entry that night. “I had the time of my life tonight. There I was, in a Buick Skylark with Santa. He looked like he had lost some weight. Maybe the holiday stress. He smelled a little funny too. I can’t put my finger on it, but it might have been Maker’s Mark.” Much later in life, when I was reevaluating Natalie Wood’s life and death — among other things, I drank my way through Decembers.

The month had turned into an inexplicable monster, no longer enjoyable. I drowned out the sounds of it. Wood (born Natalia Nikolaevna Zakharenka) was 8 when she costarred in “Miracle on 34th Street.” Precocious and a Christmas curmudgeon, until, well, watch it for yourself. Wood was 31 when she made “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice,” a very different kind of film than “Miracle on 34th Street.” Twelve years later, Wood died, and the cause is still in question. Her life went from Santa’s knee to a Catalina Island boat trip, and in between the waters were choppy, like they are for most of us. Do you want to know a secret? Every December, I watch one of those two films. Guess. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

12 military families to win holiday getaway STAFF REPORT

Twelve Colorado-based military families will receive a staycation at Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado Springs, A Dolce Resort as part of the Military Merriment Initiative. Colorado has eight military bases and more than 35,000 active duty military men and women. For many of these families, the holidays are a difficult time because mom or dad won’t be home. Made possible by the resort and Colorado Springs Moms Blog, the initiative will gift the families a two-night stay with a stocking full of experiences and activities. The getaway also will feature a 30-minute Skype call on

the resort’s 120-inch screen so each family can chat with their deployed family member. Nominations for military families are being accepted through Dec. 1; submissions are accepted online at coloradosprings.citymomsblog.com. To be eligible, families must be based in Colorado and have at least one child and one active duty parent deployed who will not be home for the holidays. Military Merriment is for immediate family members only. Staff members at the resort will select the top 24 finalists. Public voting starts Dec. 4 via Colorado Springs Moms Blog’s Facebook page.

ment hazard,’’ she said. With consumers increasingly doing their holiday shopping online, it’s more important than ever to have the most current information about the safety of a toy online, Siff said.

Votes must be posted by 5 p.m. Dec. 8. Finalists will be posted on the resort’s website and Facebook page Dec. 11. “This holiday season, we wanted to do something special for the families who selflessly share their spouse or partner with us to keep our country safe,” said Scott Marn, the resort’s managing director. “We wanted to let them know that their sacrifice does not go unnoticed and we hope that our recognition will give them a few new reasons to smile this holiday season.” Prize Package Each recipient will receive a package valued at $890. Package includes: • Two-night stay in a deluxe guest

For example, Hallmark’s Disney-themed “Itty Bittys’’ plush stacking toy for babies was recalled over the summer due to fabric pieces that posed a choking hazard. But the toy still is readily available online because many web sales — particularly consumer-to-consumer and secondhand transactions — are rarely monitored for recalls, Siff noted. Among the other toys that made this year’s list is Nerf ’s “Zombie Strike’’ crossbow, which the organization says poses the risk of eye and face injuries

room on either Dec. 15-17 or Dec. 22-24 • On-property complimentary breakfast for the whole family • On-property complimentary childcare for two hours at Kid’s Korner so mom or dad can enjoy a complimentary 50-minute massage at Alluvia Spa and Wellness Retreat • Complimentary participation/ entry in the resort’s holiday activities, including elf turndown service, gourmet hot cocoa by the fire, popcorn and a holiday movie, and more • The opportunity to select from a donated items to assemble a “holiday care package” for their deployed parent, shipped overseas free of charge • One 30-minute Skype session

Razor’s “Heel Wheels’’ are strapped onto children’s shoes to turn them into improvised roller skates but pose a burn risk because they include “real sparking action.’’ And “Slackline’’ is a tightrope-like device by Brand 44 meant to be anchored between two trees that WATCH says can lead to severe injury and death.

Sterling Ranch names new general manager STAFF REPORT

A fifth-generation Coloradan has been named general manager of the Community Authority Board in Sterling Ranch, 3,400-acre mixed-use master-planned walkable community in Douglas County projected to have 12,000 residences and approximately 33,000 residents once the community is fully built out in 20 years. Donald Rosier, who grew up in Arvada, now serves as a Jefferson County commissioner. He was elected in 2010 and again in 2014. His term ends in 2018, but Rosier will resign as commissioner to begin his general manager post in January. Rosier graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in civil engineering, and he brings cross functional and cross industry experience to his new position. “I am both excited and humbled to have been offered this amazing opportunity. Throughout my career, I have accomplished a track record of success in managing complex design projects, acquisitions, entitlements, land development and construction projects,” Rosier said. “Accepting the position of

general manager for the Sterling Ranch Community Authority Board equates to a city manager’s position in a medium-sized town with all of the oversight that goes with it, but much more forwardfacing to our residents, which is the most important asset we have.” Rosier serves or has served on 15 boards and coalitions in a variety of capacities while a commissioner including being involved with the planning, design and ultimate completion of the Jefferson County Parkway. He is probably best known for forming and chairing the WestConnect Coalition, bringing former adversaries together for the completion of the western beltway, which has been fought over for almost 25 years. “Don’s ability to approach issues in a manner of respect for all parties and with professionalism while listening to the concerns and creating new strategies to solving problems was a key trait we looked for in our new general manager,” said Diane Smethills, principal of Sterling Ranch and community authority board member. In his position, Rosier will work with contractors,

homebuilders, home buyers, residents and staff. Rosier’s 25 years of private sector experience includes civil engineering design, project management, acquisition, entitlement, land development, construction and management with companies such as Metropolitan Homes, Neumann Homes, Sunrise Colony Company, Alliance Commercial Partners, Davis Partnership and Mueller Engineering. He also oversaw the largest multi-use infill development executed on a former 2,000-acre Air Force Base in Colorado, including the design of an entirely new water system, sanitary sewer system, storm water drainage system and drainage plan. “Don understands the hydrology of water and land planning design to execute and will execute the communities’ rainwater-harvesting plan and maximize the efficiency of the Sterling Ranch robust water system,” said Harold Smethills, managing director of Sterling Ranch and a pioneer in the way of development utilized water. “As chairman of both the Colorado Clean Water Coalition and the Chatfield Watershed Authority, he brings with him policy experience and the respect of the water community.”

Getting the season off to a bright, beautiful start

Raising the

Alcohol adds some flavor to coffee shops BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Kyle Gammage is behind the bar at The Bluegrass Coffee and Bourbon in Olde Town Arvada, he sees three kinds regulars — those who come in for their morning coffee, those who come in for a happy hour drink and a bite, and those who just hang out all day. That’s the benefit of a coffee bar business — there’s something for someone all day. “It’s all about the atmosphere here, which is different than a traditional coffee shop,” said Gammage, coffee manager at The Bluegrass, 7415 Grandview Ave. “There’s a little more camaraderie here than you get with the bar vibes.” Coffee bars blend two craft cultures — coffee and alcohol, such as beer, wine and whiskey. Both scenes include people who

are passionate about their beverages and are looking for the best quality and local purveyors. “When I first started, I worked with a local winery to offer those kinds of options to our customers,” said Shawn Manzanares, owner of Highlands Cork and Coffee, 3701 W. 32nd Ave., Denver. “People just like the ability to drink alcohol at a coffee place.” The Bluegrass and Highlands Cork are just two examples of a model that is spreading throughout the metro area — Black Eye (LoHi), Drip (Denver), Thump (Denver) and Jake’s Brew Bar (Littleton) are also serving coffee and alcohol, which is something Starbucks has experimented with as well.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SCOTCH, WHISKEY AND BOURBON When it comes to the difference between scotch, whiskey and bourbon, it’s both geographic and about ingredients. Whiskey is defined as a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from various fermented grain mashes, including barley, rye, wheat and corn. It is usually aged in wooden casks. Scotch is whiskey made in Scotland, while bourbon is whiskey made in the U.S., usually Kentucky. Scotch is made mostly from malted barley, while bourbon is distilled from corn. Source: Liquor.com

t’s always better to catch your favorite musicians at a concert in a small venue — the smaller the better. It provides a feeling of intimacy, of communing directly with the artist. One of the best venues in the metro area to see some local artists, and national musicians who are starting to break into the scene, is the Hi-Dive, located at 7 S. Broadway. At 8 p.m. Nov. 24, the venue is celCOMING to simultaATTRACTIONS ebrating neous milestones at its Fifth and 14th Anniversary Party. The concert is in honor of 14 years of the Hi-Dive, and five years under its current ownership. “When I used to play in punk bands in my teens around Clarke Reader Denver, I always said owning and booking my own music venue was my dream job,” said Curtis Wallach, owner of the Hi-Dive. “And it still is, even though the reality of it is far different than I assumed it would be.” The show features six bands: Ned Garthe Explosion, Sleep Union, Extra Gold, Slynger, Really Good Bad Boy Club and Five Mile Woods. Their genres are as eclectic as their names imply. Extra Gold is influenced by honky tonk and outlaw country, while Slynger blends surf rock with folk and alternative sounds.

This family-friendly performance features Irish ballads, instrumental tunes and authentic Irish dancing, while photographic images provide a backdrop to some of the rich historical traditions. To get your tickets, head to www. brownpapertickets.com. Swingin’ into the holidays A lot of the holiday tunes you’re going to hear this time of year tend to skew either toward the spiritual or to the children’s audience. So, you don’t want to miss the chance to spice up the holidays a little with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s Wild and Swingin’ Holiday Party, at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 25, at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave. in Parker. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has been blending jazz, swing, blues and lounge since the late 1980s. When they signed with Capitol Records, they started making a name for themselves with listeners all over the world. Their holiday show, which is family friendly, features both holiday classics and Christmas originals from the band’s two full-length holiday albums.

A taste of a mountain Christmas If you’re looking for a sampling of a mountain Christmas without having to brave the weather and traffic on Interstate 70, you’ll enjoy the Farolito Lighting and Pinecone Ceremony in Morrison. The free outdoor event goes from 4 to 6 p.m. on Nov. 26, at the Tesoro Cultural Center, 19192 Highway 8. The pinecone ceremony features visitors throwing their cones into a courtyard fire, and then watching as good thoughts and prayers rise into the night sky. Guests can also sing Christmas carols from the 1830s and 1840s with music students from the Colorado School of Mines, and enjoy Mexican hot chocolate, hot cider and traditional biscochitos. To cap it all off, the event honors Steve Friesen, executive director of the Buffalo Bill Museum, and author.

thrive on the relationships with their customers, and visiting The Bluegrass during any given morning finds the barista greeting customers by name and asking about their weekend. “Obviously, there’s more people looking for coffee in the morning, but we do have some ready for a Kentucky Coffee right when we open,” Gammage said. The Kentucky Coffee is one of The Bluegrass’ specialties, made with Benchmark Bourbon, Kahlua, steamed milk, espresso, Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream, and topped off with whipped cream. “It’s actually really great to be part of someone’s morning routine,” he said. One of those customers who make the coffee bar a regular stop is Tom Robinson, who works at the nearby School House and Kitchen. “It’s cool that I can make my coffee alcoholic on a whim,” he said with a laugh, as he waited for Gammage to make his drink. “Olde Town is a great place for coffee, but this is where I always come. It’s really one of my favorite places in the area.”

Shop provides an array of classic merchandise Elizabeth store filled with items gathered during owner’s years of collecting BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Shawn Strain admits being bitten by the collecting bug at an early age, and about two years ago decided to open Barnwood Vintage at 166 Main St. in Elizabeth to offer items from his collection to new owners. “I grew up with my grandparents and I went with my grandfather who liked to poke around at antique shops, garage sales and auctions where he bought items to add to his collection,” he said. “I guess that is when I decided to start a collection of my own and I am still collecting. “The only thing that has changed is I have opened the store to offer some of my collection for sale.” The vast and diverse array of merchandise covers the walls, fills shelves and occupies most of the floor space of Barnwood Vintage. A spinning wheel stands on the floor along with a ship’s wheel. The walls are covered with pictures, and just inside the door a kerosene lamp stands on a shelf just a couple feet from a wall-mounted crank telephone. “We have a lot of different items in the shop. There are some traditional antiques but the majority of what is on display is from my collection of vintage and rustic items like a World War II uniform and a turn-of-the-century saw,” Strain said. “The items in the store are less than a quarter of my collection. For example, I don’t have any room to display the rustic farm implements and I am able to display only a few of the rustic tools I have collected.” Strain was born in Grand Junction but grew up in Littleton. He graduated from Littleton High School in 1989. He has lived in the Elizabeth area for the

last 11 years. “I had a career as a financial crimes investigator but decided it was time to pursue a new course,” he said. “I started my new career a few years ago when the opportunity to open my own shop presented itself.” One unique aspect of Barnwood Vistage is the option to rent vintage items. “We offer the option to rent items for events like themed parties or plays. The prop rental is sort of a side portion of the business,” he said. “I plan to promote the rental option a bit more because it would be a service to potential customers, and I think it could open our store to a new people.” He said he sees the business growing as more potential customers find his store and his services through the internet. “I am there in the shop most days. A great benefit of being in the shop is all the fun I have meeting the people who come in to check us out,” he said. “It is impossible to call this work when you have so much fun doing it.” Strain said another aspect of the business is providing decoration for businesses. He said he is working on supplying the wall displays for Bernie’s Kitchen, a recently opened restaurant in Elizabeth. “I guess I passed the collecting bug on to my son Garrett,” he said. “He runs the shop if I am not available. He loves the business. He already knows how to pick up something and selling it for a profit.” Garrett smiled and said he likes working in the shop. “It is fun and I learn a lot about the business by helping Dad by running the store when he can’t be here,” the Elizabeth High School student said. “Some customers are looking for specific items and others are just checking out what we have here in the store. For some reason the glass items seem to be among the most often purchased items.” Barnwood Vintage is open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

Garret Strain, son of owner Shawn Strain, talks about some of the items on sale at Barnwood Vintage at 166 Main St. in Elizabeth. The shop carries antiques but features vintage and rustic items the Strains have collected over the years. PHOTOS BY TOM MUNDS

‘Seussical’ is whimsical musical delight on Littleton stage BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

IF YOU GO

The entire stage floor is painted in bright swishes of color, so one practically dances to one’s assigned seat at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center (scenic design by Michael Duran) to await the appearance of Cat in the Hat, Horton Gertrude McFuzz, the Whos and other characters we know and love. “Seussical,” the musical by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (coconceived by that pair with help from Monty Python’s Eric Idle), is the Littleton theater’s choice for the holidays — directed with a tongue firmly in cheek by Robert Wells and perfect for family outings. (Or for grandparents, out on their own!) We are told that Wells wisely chose the short version, so run time is about 90 minutes, including intermission. A familiarly shaped red and white striped lampshade hangs on a suspended light fixture at center stage. Music begins and in strides the versatile Charlie Schmidt, who pops on that hat and becomes the whimsical Cat in the Hat (as well as a number of other central characters sporting the same red and white striped socks.) Horton the Elephant (Brian Murray) appears, concerned about a faint cry for help that’s coming from a flower — a tiny voice from a creature “no bigger than a speck of dust.” (A pitch for

The musical “Seussical” runs through Dec. 24 at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays and Saturdays Nov. 25 and Dec. 2; 6:30 p.m. Sunday Dec. 10. Tickets: 303-7942787, townhallartscenter.org.

tolerance blends in here.) He is joined by JoJo, the young Who “no bigger than a speck of dust,” in singing the trademark concept of Dr Seuss: “Oh the Thinks You Can Think!” Jo Jo (Lars Lundberg) and the entire Who family, wear a bright yellow wigs

and individual costumes that are a variation on clever patterns with yellow, green and turquoise. All the actors’ costumes, designed by Terri Fong, with neon-colored wigs and fancy details, are really outstanding — eye candy in addition to the “ear candy” of the score and script. The

timid Who parents worry that JoJo thinks too much! Music director Donna Debreceni orchestrated and recorded the bouncy score and choreographer Kelly Kates created dance moves for all — from wee Whos to a loud trio of spangled birds, to a bumbling elephant — and of course, that nimble Cat, who weaves it all together. Sour Kangaroo (Cassie Lujan, who can really belt out a song), the Wickersham Brothers and a gang of rude monkeys all introduce a naughty/negative note, while Gertrude McFuzz, with her single tail feather, introduces another concept to think about — be careful what you wish for. Mayzie La Bird (Alison Vance), a vain, self-centered sparkly bright blue creature with plentiful tail feathers, leads a trio of tropical feathered individuals, who mock poor Horton. Mayzie even leaves her egg for him to hatch while she splits for sunny climes — and he patiently sits and sits …

Learning to fly Colorado Center for the Blind students take a field trip to indoor skydiving facility BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Three years ago, Chris Harper lost his sight to glaucoma. He has been at the Colorado Center for the Blind since May, where he is adjusting to life without vision. The school in downtown Littleton teaches independence, helps students navigate their surroundings and incorporates a variety of field trips — rock climbing, skiing, whitewater rafting — that have an educational component. On Nov. 13, for the first time as a school, students learned about STEM — science, technology, engineering and math — before flying through a vertical wind tunnel that replicates the feeling of sky diving at iFLY Denver in Lone Tree. “I wish they’d let us do it outside,” said Harper, 51, grinning cheerfully. “It will be fun.” iFLY has been hosting what it calls iSTEM camps to schools across the region for more than three years. Kindergartners through university students attend the facility, at 9230 Park Meadows Drive, for a workshop that teaches components of STEM, such as aerodynamics, math and physics, through projects that test how balls, balloons and other materials behave in the wind tunnel. With the assistance of instructors, students then get to fly in the tunnel. “It’s a great way to learn,” said iFLY’s lead instructor Mike Silva. “When you do something that is fun, it sticks with you more.” For Colorado Center for the Blind’s field trip, iFLY modified the iSTEM curriculum and program materials were translated into braille for stu-

Florence Bocquet, iSTEM instructor, teaches a group of 23 students from Colorado Center for the Blind about the science of indoor skydiving at an iSTEM camp on Nov. 13 at iFLY Denver in Lone Tree. COURTESY IFLY DENVER dents. The prep time for the group of 23 students ages 18 to 40 years old was about 10 hours, said Florence Bocquet, who runs the iSTEM program. “It’s giving them the freedom of flying,” Bocquet said, “when they don’t have the freedom of seeing.” iFLY instructors built a mini wind tunnel out of Legos so students could touch what they would soon be flying in. Balloons were filled with water so they could get a sense of wind resistance. Instructors taught cues — thumbs down meant a student was not comfortable in the wind tunnel — and assisted each person with gentle movements. “We have to teach them through feeling,” Silva said. “It’s really clever ways of adapting the course — it’s challenging, fun and rewarding.” Some students were born without vision. Others lost their vision in an accident or were losing it over time due to an eye disorder. They live in an apartment complex near Colorado Center for the Blind, 2233 W Shepperd Ave., for the duration of the program, which is up to nine months.

What is there to be thankful for? Well ...

Teams head back to the mats Ponderosa and Castle View could again be strong squads BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Once again this season, Castle View and Ponderosa appear to have the top wrestling teams among schools from the south metro area. The two schools have a combined three state champions, two state runners-up and a third-place wrestler returning to their lineups. Practices started Nov. 10, with the first day that teams can schedule regular-season competition set for Nov. 29. “We’re doing a lot of conditioning and more teaching,” Castle View coach Ike Anderson said. “We are working on technique right now.” Castle View won the Continental League dual meet championship last season, snapping Ponderosa’s streak of 22 consecutive league titles. The Sabercats edged the Mustangs, 42-33, in the dual meet that decided the league title. Senior Malik Heinselman, a member of the United States junior world freestyle team and the 106-pound state champion the past two seasons, will be wrestling at 120 pounds this season for Castle View. Defending 170-pound state champion Tate Samuelson returns but

Ponderosa’s Cohlton Schultz puts a headlock on his opponent during last season’s 220-pound Class 5A championship match in February. Schultz won his second consecutive state championship. FILE PHOTO could move up to the 182-pound class while junior Adrian Marquez is back after finishing third last season. Castle View has three other statequalifying wrestlers back in Bailey Fitzgerald, Ruslan Nuriyev and Adam Sepan. Ponderosa has a new coach in Tito Rinaldis. He was on the Mustangs’ state champion wrestling teams in 2003 and 2004. He was an individual state champion in 2004 and has been an assistant coach at Ponderosa for the

past 10 seasons under Corey McNellis. “There will be some subtle changes,” Rinaldis said. “A lot of people think losing the consecutive league streak was a humbling feeling. It kind of was, but there are some good aspects to it. We can focus on accountability, making sure we are putting people out on the mat that deserve to be out on the mat... “Other than that, if it ain’t broken don’t fit it. Since 2000, we have not SEE MATS, P27

Thanksgiving is a day for a tasty meal, watching some football and having fun with family and friends who are like family. Thanksgiving is a time to offer thanks for many things that are sometimes overlooked like hugs, good health, children, grandchildren, dishwashers, snowblowers, good car batteries on sub-zero mornings, friends, a companion dog, spellcheck and short lines. I could go on and on, but for sports fans, here are just a few things for which to be thankful. Thankfully the Colorado High School Activities Association will likely Jim Benton change the Class OVERTIME 5A alignments for football leagues and hopefully someday might figure out a way to decide state playoff soccer games without using a shootout. Thankfully the 4A and 5A state basketball tournaments have returned to Denver. There are other thankful athletic things like upsets (except against the team you are supporting), last-second victories or walk-off hits, rallies, more attention being paid to concussions, gluten-free NutThins and one league in Major League Baseball that doesn’t use the designated hitter. Proposed volleyball change This is an assumption and I know assumptions can be dangerous. I assume that maybe some members of the CHSAA volleyball committee were at the Nov. 10-11 state volleyball championships at the Denver Coliseum and realized change is needed. On Nov. 13, the committee unanimously recommended a bracket format starting for next year’s tournament and that proposal will go to the Legislative Council for their approval in January. If approved it would mean no more pool play, an extra day of the tournament and all classifications would use a SEE BENTON, P27

There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorated share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale.

When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling 10% of the Secretary’s bid in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not be accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of 10% of the Secretary’s bid must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extension will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD.

If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit, or at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder.
