Castle Rock woman founds scholarship program at credit union About me I am the founder and creator of Premier Gives, the charitable arm of Premier Members Credit Union (PMCU). While I have been in Colorado for more than 13 years, I’m actually a Montana native. Both my undergrad and graduate degrees are in communications, and I just recently returned to school and achieved a certificate in corporate social responsibility. About my work As the Premier Gives director, I am responsive to the community’s needs and am always identifying creative ways to help our community. Since founding Premier Gives in 2012, Premier Gives has granted more than $140,000 in scholarships to high school students and their teachers seeking higher education. It provided more than $228,000 in employee charitable contributions and supports the community with more than $140,000 annually in corporate contributions. It also delivers more than 1,100 annual employee volunteer hours. Premier Gives focuses on areas of community needs, education and financial literacy, community engage-

My advice Just say yes! Years ago, I was working retail and the vice president of a bank came in. Before leaving, she handed me her business card and said that if I was ever interested in a career in banking to give her a call. I had always struggled with math and numbers growing up and had somewhat of a phobia surrounding mathematics. Calling her was the beginning of my more than 14-year career in the banking industry. I now work with numbers almost daily and ,it turns out, my fear of math was just that—I overcame my phobia to find something I was actually good at.

Douglas County has lowest child poverty rate in nation Numbers don’t ‘tell the whole story,’ county officials say BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Douglas County has again secured the top rank among counties with the lowest child poverty rates in the nation. The U.S. Census Bureau released it Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates in December. The report shows Douglas County’s poverty rate for people under 18 years old was 2.7 in 2017 — the lowest of all counties. In total, the SAIPE report provides estimates for all 3,141 counties in the U.S. and more than 13,200 school districts. Loudoun County in Virginia, near Washington, D.C., came in second with a poverty rate of 3.0. Loudoun’s population was 398,000 compared to Douglas County’s 335,299 as of 2017 estimates from the U.S. Census. Douglas County estimates that its population as of Jan. 1, 2018 was 346,000. Douglas County demographer and analyst Nancy Gedeon said counties that consistently have the lowest poverty rates often look similar — fastgrowing, affluent suburbs near metro areas. They believe Douglas County’s
low unemployment rate and plethora of high-paying jobs, combined with a highly-educated population and a high median household income are some reasons the county’s poverty rate is so low. Still, they can’t be sure why this year they came in at No. 1, she said. “I do think there’s different factors that can influence this type of data source,” said Douglas County’s Assistant Director of Community & Resource Services Jennifer Eby. “I would not necessarily be comfortable saying we’ve solved our child poverty issues in the county.” It’s far from the first time Douglas County has ranked first in terms of low child poverty. Gedeon spent hours working the SAIPE data into her own spreadsheets, comparing counties that ranked in the top 30 over the past 20 years. According to her research, Douglas County had the lowest child poverty rate last year, in 2016 and in 2007. It ranked second in 2015, 2014 and 2013. Loudoun County and Douglas County have consistently traded places in the first and second spots for lowest poverty rate overall — meaning for all ages, not just citizens under 18. Gedeon and Eby also said the poverty rate doesn’t tell the whole story. SAIPE is a model, not a survey like the American Community Survey, that pools information from popula-
tion estimates, the American Community Survey, census counts and other records to estimate income and poverty levels in the U.S. “The data is coming from this hodgepodge of sources,” Gedeon said. “It’s a stew.” In contrast, the American Community Survey sends questionnaires to more than 3.5 million households each year, gathering information about household size, income, type of housing, how people commute and more. The American Community Survey is what Gedeon relies on when gathering county statistics. “It’s not perfect but it’s uniform across the country and in theory it’s people’s actual answers. It’s not modeling,” Gedeon said. And poverty rates hardly indicate what a person would need to make ends meet in a given area, Gedeon said. The U.S. Census sets the same poverty threshold for every county in the U.S. from New York to Kansas to Colorado. “There is a big gap between what the poverty level is and what you’d actually need to survive in a county with a higher cost of living,” Gedeon said. “I wouldn’t say it’s artificially low, but it’s not a realistic number for telling if someone may be in need or not.” In 2016, someone in a single-person household met the poverty threshold if their annual income was less than $12,228. In 2017 the threshold was
$12,488. For a family of four comprising two adults and two children, it was $25,094. “We all know living in Colorado,” Gedeon said. “You need a heck of a lot more money to live here.” Douglas County’s median household income is $112,386, the 11th highest in the nation for counties of any size, according to the SAIPE report. Loudoun County ranks first with a median household income of $136,191. As Douglas County continues to grow, Eby and Gedeon said the county will likely diversify. For roughly 20 years, Douglas County has been “child heavy” they said, attracting families and people of “child-bearing” age. Now, the county is seeing its senior population grow. Housing has diversified and attracted more single residents and single-income households. Different demographics mean more diversity in terms of age, income level, household type and more, they said. Eby said the county may already be feeling those effects. Overall, the county’s poverty rate increased slightly. In 2007, Douglas County’s poverty rate was 2.4. In 2017, it was 3.2. “We’re seeing maybe even an influx of people coming in or families coming in with children who need assistance,” Eby said. “(The poverty rate) doesn’t necessarily define our needs.”

A conversation with Commissioner-elect Abe Laydon Winner in District 1 vows to ‘do good things’ ahead of swearing-in
&
QA
BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITY MEDIA.COM
Abe Laydon is commissioner-elect for District 1 on the Douglas County Board of Commissioners. Diane Holbert, who holds the seat now, was elected by the Douglas County Republican Central Vacancy Committee in April to fill the vacancy created when former Commissioner David Weaver accepted a presidential appointment as the United States marshal for Colorado. Laydon won the Republican primary over Holbert and went on to defeat Democratic challenger Mary Lynch in November. Laydon describes himself as being “led by my Christian faith, Republican principles and the strong values of this rich Western heritage that I grew up in.” Ahead of his Jan. 8 swearing-in, Laydon sat down with Colorado Community Media to discuss his goals as commissioner.
How does it feel to move on from one chapter, your career as a lawyer, and

“Douglas County has the best human beings on the planet,” says Abe Laydon, who will be sworn in as county commissioner on Jan. 8. COURTESY PHOTO start a new one as a publicly-elected county commissioner? It feels fantastic. In my view Douglas County has the best human beings on the planet. What a lot of folks don’t know is that the Douglas County staff and elected officials are really working their hardest every day to make this county great. So,

The Aurora-South Metro SBDC helps existing and new businesses grow and prosper through workshops and consulting.
I’m humbled and honored to join their ranks and be part of an organization that wakes up every day with a purpose. What are you most looking forward to about being commissioner? I would boil it down to one thing. It’s “Do good things.” That is my driving force for why I ran for office and where I’m focused going forward. I’m not here for the title. I’m here to make a difference and do the things that matter to the people of this county with the time that I’ve been given. What is your definition of “Do good things”? The specific “good things” dovetail closely with the campaign conversations that I had with thousands of people at their doors and around kitchen tables. I think the overarching thing I experienced is that people are tired of political noise. They’re ready for leaders that listen. The specific good things I’d like to accomplish include cutting taxes, providing real transportation solutions, doing the right thing on growth, making sure that our kids are safe and ensuring we have clean and abundant air and water for generations to come. Are there any specific projects that you’re eager to work on? The hard work that this group of county officials has done on mental health has been absolutely fantastic and I’d like to see that continue in a way that partners with our great business community, nonprofits and other collaborators, to really deliver solutions to our community. Are you referring to the Mental Health Initiative? Yes, that 1-in-5 program has been really successful. I think the stigma associated with addressing mental
health has been reduced thanks to our great partnerships, thanks to the press and the great work that they have done. We’d like to continue to build on that. Throughout your campaign, you spoke openly about your background as the son of a Latino father, a German/Irish mother, and as a father to a daughter and sons. How does that shape you as a public official? I turned 40, and I realized that a lot of my neighbors were buying cars and going on vacations and binging Netflix. Which are good things — I do those things too, on occasion. But for me, having three kids, it is so important to leave a legacy for them and to make sure that they receive Douglas County better than I got it, and I got it in pretty good shape. My family and my kids, especially, really influence my desire to serve the public. I think coming from a German/ Irish mother and a Latino father, that certainly informs my perspective. Again, I want to be a commissioner for all people. Development is an important issue for Douglas County residents. What would you like them to know about how you plan to vet development proposals that come before commissioners? Throughout my campaign I was endorsed by rural citizen groups and also the homebuilding community. So, I’m a bit unique in that space, because I really made it my focus to listen and to make sure that I am out speaking to all of the stakeholders and getting a sense of what’s important to them. One of the solutions that I identified throughout the campaign was realizing that it’s not one-size-fits-all in Douglas County. A lot of times SEE LAYDON, P8

Agreement addresses traffic concerns in northwest Douglas County New roads will ease traffic congestion, improve public safety, county officials say CALM AFTER THE STORM

A partnership between the Sterling Ranch Community Authority Board and Douglas County will address traffic concerns in the growing northwest region of the county. Per an intergovernmental agreement signed Nov. 13, construction of two roadways that will offer motorists a third route in and out of the Chatfield Valley will begin next year. County officials say the project will ease traffic congestion in the area. Sterling Ranch is expected to grow by 33,000 people over the next 20 years. At completion, the $4.4 billion multi-generational development is expected to have 12,000 homes on 3,400 acres with schools, churches, shopping, recreation and innovative technology. About 260 homes are currently filled. On Dec. 4, the Douglas County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a third preliminary filing that will bring hundreds more. County officials say the additional route is necessary for incident management and emergency-response time. “When all completed, these projects will provide additional access to the Roxborough and Chatfield communities to Highway 85 and Waterton Canyon to address traffic issues of access, convenience and safety for years to come,” Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge said in an email. Alternate route In February 2019, Douglas County will begin construction of a two- and three-lane road —known as the Southern Connector — connecting Moore Road to the intersection of Airport Road and Louviers Boulevard, west of Highway 85. The county’s Road Sales and Use Tax Fund will fund the $15 million, roughly three-mile stretch. Sterling Ranch has agreed to fund $15 million of phase two of the project, called Waterton Central. The two-lane road — with room for up to six lanes — will extend Waterton Road east from the North Rampart Range Road intersection in Roxborough to Moore Road, about 3 miles. The county will provide an advancement of $5 million to fast-track phase two. Sterling Ranch is required to pay back the funds with interest within five years, according to county documents. Construction of phase two is expected to begin in the middle of next year. When both roads are completed in an estimated three years, motorists will have an alternate route from the Chatfield Valley south to Castle Rock or Colorado Springs. County officials say travelers will save two to three miles of driving.
Public safety Currently, only two roads exist in and out of Roxborough, a community of about 9,000 people west of Highlands Ranch. Titan Road — the majority is two lanes —connects Roxborough to Highway 85 and Waterton Road stretches north to Wadsworth Boulevard and C-470. The limited access puts pressure on Titan Road, which sees about 17,000 motorists a day on a stretch near Highway 85, according to Matt Williams, Douglas County’s development review manager. A variety of motorists travel the road, from commuters to school bus drivers to residents of Sterling Ranch. In 2017, 13 accidents happened on Titan Road, according to Chief Deputy Tim Moore of the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office. In 2018, there were 23. “An accident can back up the road for two hours,” Moore said. “A serious accident could close the road for a couple of hours.” The additional route will also improve safety in the case of a natural disaster, such as a wildfire or flooding, county officials say. In Moore’s 28 years with the sheriff ’s office, Roxborough has had to evacuate two times due to wildfires. Both instances occurred at night. “There is no way that the two current roads can manage that type of vehicular traffic when there is not an emergency,” Moore said of the projected growth of the area. “When there is an emergency, it’s a huge problem.” Moore said the project is long overdue. “We see this as a massive improvement for public safety to get in and to get out when there is heavy traffic or an emergency,” he said. Solving a regional problem Harold Smethills, managing director of Sterling Ranch, foresees the additional route benefiting existing residents of the Chatfield Valley and future residents of his development. Traffic has been an ongoing concern among residents in the region, he said. “The one prevailing message that we heard time and again from the Roxborough community was related to transportation and connectivity throughout the Chatfield Valley,” Smethills said in a news release. “We’re looking forward (to) providing a solution that has been on the Douglas County Master Plan for many years but without the funding or partner to solve it.” Amy Sherman, CEO of the Northwest Douglas County Economic Development Corporation, has a similar outlook. “Our organization has long been an advocate for the Waterton Extension and Southern Connector,” Sherman said in the news release. “This important addition to the mobility network in our region will help residents and employees travel safer and more efficiently.”

Lone Tree was in contention for Amazon HQ2, officials say RidgeGate East site called ripe for development BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Lone Tree was a serious competitor in the Denver metro area’s bid for Amazon’s second headquarters, city officials said. The company announced in November it will move to two locations: New York City and Arlington, Virginia. A 125-acre lot in the RidgeGate East area, the area southeast of Lincoln Avenue and I-25, was a top-of-the-list competitor for the Seattle-based e-commerce giant’s second home, according to Lone Tree Mayor Jackie Millet. Sam Bailey, vice president of economic development for the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation, a privately-funded economic development group, said Metro Denver EDC submitted 30 sites from across the Metro Denver region. Eight sites led the proposal as they best satisfied the requirements of the Amazon HQ2 proposal. Bailey could not comment specifically on the eight sites. As for what’s next for the RidgeGate site, it is “prime time for development,” according to Jeff Holwell, Lone Tree’s economic development director. “Now, it’s more a matter of the market,” Holwell said. “If someone comes on Jan. 1 and starts talking about a piece of property, I think it’s ready to be discussed.”
The RidgeGate East site, on the southeast corner of Lincoln Avenue and I-25, is ready for development, city officials said. NICK PUCKETT The horizontal work on RidgeGate East, the infrastructure for water and sewer drainage, is finished. Holwell expects residential development in 2019. Coventry Development, the development group heading the RidgeGate project, plans the area to be the Lone Tree City Center, with a mix of residential and commercial buildings. “The urban nature of the proposal for Amazon matches what we envisioned all along for the (Lone Tree) City Center Station,” Holwell said. “Quite frankly, we were unique in the Denver metro area. Access to travel, community, workforce, transport — we checked all the boxes. That was the only site that would’ve qualified.” Lone Tree has become an attractive location for companies to move
Poster contest honors missing children across country STAFF REPORT
Colorado fifth-grade students are asked to break out their crayons/pencils/markers and creativity and enter this year’s edition of the Missing Children’s Day poster contest in honor of those missing across the country. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is hosting a statewide poster contest as part of a national campaign sponsored by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). Every year, the CBI and DOJ commemorate the valiant and unselfish acts of the many organizations and individuals who bring our missing children home. Since 1983, May 25 has been designated as National Missing Children’s Day. The poster theme is “Bring Our Missing Children Home” and will feature the artistic talents of kids throughout the United States. All Colorado posters must be submitted to the CBI for judging by 5 p.m. Feb. 1. The national office will not accept any entries. The poster representing the state of Colorado will be submitted to the national office.
The DOJ will announce the winner at the annual National Missing Children’s Day ceremony May 22 in Washington, D.C. The winner of the national contest, along with his or her teacher and parents, will attend this special ceremony. In addition to the DOJ ceremony, the CBI will also recognize the top three Colorado students for their winning poster entries at an event this May. Submit posters to: CBI, Attn: Poster Contest, 690 Kipling St. Ste. 4000, Denver, CO 80215. Contact Analyst Jillian Ganley at 303-239-4459 or jillian. ganley@state.co.us for information or questions. The complete packet of information can be found at www.colorado. gov/pacific/cbi/missing-childrenposter-contest. One single entry will be submitted to DOJ on behalf of the state of Colorado. Thousands of children are reported missing in Colorado each year. Law enforcement, citizens, and even children have been instrumental in keeping children safe and returning them home to their families, community, and school.
to as the city continues its expansion. According to the city’s website, there are 20,657 employees in the city, which is up 42 percent from 2014. In 2014, Charles Schwab built its 15-acre campus in the RidgeGate neighborhood near the Lincoln Avenue interchange with I-25. The company employs about 4,000 people. Millet said the city was a competitive option to host Amazon HQ2, and said the city’s proposal “rose to the top” of the dozens of proposals across the country. “We didn’t need to do anything except introduce ourselves,” Millet said. “We were thrilled to death to be one
of the finalists, because it very much validates the work that’s been going on in the city.” Although the city missed out on Amazon HQ2, Lone Tree did become home to an Amazon facility in November with the opening of the new Amazon 4-star store at the Park Meadows mall. “I think Amazon did pick Lone Tree. They just picked it in a different way,” Millet said. “The demographics of the community were attractive to Amazon.” By June 2019, Lone Tree will be home to three additional light rail stations south of Lincoln Avenue at Sky Ridge Medical Center, the Lone Tree City Center and RidgeGate Parkway, which will be the southernmost stops for the RTD light rail system. The stations will serve the thriving RidgeGate neighborhood, home to Sky Ridge, Charles Schwab, the Lone Tree Arts Center, Cabela’s and Super Target, as well as RidgeGate East. “A community our size is embellished by all these great things around us,” Millet said. “Colorado is a great place, and I think we’ve had a lot of success in Lone Tree in attracting business, and scoring well on Amazon’s requests for proposals did not come as a surprise. I would argue we’re positioned very well for any business.”

District formalizes plans for committee to oversee additional funds Members are expected to be selected by end of March BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Douglas County School District Board of Education is finalizing plans for a committee that will oversee the use of funds from two tax measures approved in the November election. A $250 million bond will go toward capital needs and new construction, and a $40 million mill levy override will address teacher pay and programming. Over the next five years, the district needs between $152 million and $200 million to address Tier 1 items, which are building components that compromise school safety and risk school closure, such as a roof, fire alarm system or generator. Board members and residents of Douglas County deemed the committee necessary to provide transparency and assure taxpayers that the additional funds will be spent as intended. “I am excited to move forward together and share this information and I would encourage our community to continue to share in what we do with this money,” board member Anne Anne-Marie Lemieux said at a November board meeting. “It’s your money, we need to spend it wisely — hold us accountable.” The Mill and Bond Oversight Committee will act as a link of communication between the school district and the community. Committee members will meet regularly to review the use of funds and report expenditures to the board of education. They will study the district’s Master Capital

Starting in May, the committee will remain active for three years, during which the district expects to spend 85 percent of the bond funds. The committee will be made up of licensed teachers, classified staff, parents, community members from each region of the county, district staff and school board liaisons, either a chief financial officer, chief operations officer or director of construction, government agency representative and member of law enforcement. Also on the committee will be a representative from the district’s Long Range Planning Committee — which studies capacity and construction — Fiscal Oversight Committee, District Accountability Committee and Student Advisory Committee. At the Dec. 13 school board meeting in Castle Rock, the school board unanimously approved a process for committee selection. Jan. 11 is the deadline for applications, which will be posted online at dcsdk12.org/funding. Applications will be forwarded to an interview committee comprising members of the district’s existing committees, district staff and teachers. The interview committee will conduct interviews in February and make recommendations to the school board. Board members will review the recommendations and make selections in late March.
Tree, where I live, Mayor Jackie Millet has done such a fantastic job collaborating with the development community and with the business community to deliver amenities. A lot of folks in that municipality really enjoy amenities. It’s all Douglas County, but really respecting the character of our constituents is, I think, the best way to get things done. Any final remarks to voters and your future constituents? Thank you. Again, I am so humbled and honored to join the ranks of those that wake up with purpose. I want to be on this journey with all of our people — with citizens, the press, business leaders, civic servants and nonprofits. It’s a journey of collaboration to deliver good things for this community.

Changing the status quo on mental health Douglas County initiative pursues plan to improve mental health system BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Members of the Douglas County Mental Health Initiative are working toward a new mental health system for the local community. It was the sole topic of conversation at the group’s Dec. 19 meeting, where representatives of consulting firm Health Management Associates rolled out a preliminary proposal for a new model of care. The Mental Health Initiative began in 2014 and today comprises more than 40 organizations from the public and private sectors in behavioral health. “I think we’ve accomplished a great deal over the last several years,” Deputy County Manager Barbara Drake said about the initiative. “We have a lot left to accomplish.” Gina Lasky, principal with Health Management Associates, said the model attempts to provide a full continuum of care, from prevention to recovery, and to connect people with mental health services no matter what degree of help they may need.

implementation of that across the country,” she said. The final section revolves around specialty programs that treat people with acute conditions or complex behavioral health needs. This could translate into case managers at the county attorney’s office or policy advocacy to address concerns in the mental health system at the statelevel. Mental Health Initiative members discussed what steps may be necessary to put the model in place. Some suggested heightening efforts to educate the public and treatment providers alike about what services are already available in the county. Another suggestion was to not only map out existing services but analyze their capacity, how many people they can potentially serve. The model could change significantly between now and March, when Health Management Associates will reveal a plan to county officials on how to actually implement it. That will also outline a governance structure and financing. In the meantime, members of the Mental Health Initiative were charged with reviewing the proposal with others at their respective organizations, making notes and completing a survey asking for further feedback.

Living on borrowed time, and in no rush to pay back QUIET DESPERATION
Craig Marshall Smith
I
conclude every calendar year of columns with one that explores what makes life worth living. The time has come, the walrus said. This year’s will be a little different. First, I think an important question to ask is this: Is life worth living? Many think it is not. And too many of the many are far too young. The statistics are very depressing. Anthony Bourdain answered
“No” in 2018. So did Kate Spade, and so did two former UCLA basketball stars, Billy Knight and Tyler Honeycutt. Knight wrote, “I’m lost in life, and I feel like there’s no hope. I have no friends with me here. I have no wife, girlfriend. I have nothing.” Knight had been arrested less than a month before his suicide and charged with sexually abusing a child. It hasn’t been a pretty year in America. It hasn’t been great,

A holiday message of peace, love, hope and joy
t’s been said that faith and fear, or hope and fear, are kind of like the same thing, a belief that something will happen in the future. Now whether we want or choose to believe that whatever is about to happen will be something awesome WINNING and positive or misWORDS erable and negative is really up to us. And whether or not you are a person of faith, any kind of faith, celebrating Christmas or Hanukkah or any other holiday this season. Or maybe Michael Norton none at all. And whether or not you are someone who considers themselves agnostic or possibly even an atheist, my hope is that you will receive this prayer and message with the love and intent with which it is written. Today I pray for the restoration of hope and faith in a world filled with worry, fear and doubt. May you be blessed with a sense of peace and calm; may the season of hope and light bring upon you the confidence and courage to seek out peace when others choose to look for a battle; may what you think about and hope for in this
life be built upon the foundation of love and kindness, love and gentleness, and love and forgiveness. Today I pray for your health. May you be blessed with strength and endurance to fight whatever illness you are battling. May you experience healing and remain hopeful and confident in your healing. May you be blessed by the compassion of your family and friends; may you be blessed by the wisdom and knowledge of your physicians; and may you feel comforted and surrounded by your nurses and caregivers who are with you each day. Today I pray for sobriety and recovery from addiction. And I pray for the families and friends who support, love, and stand by those closest to them who are in the struggle to recover. May this season of love and blessings be the season that brings the blessing of determination, hope and help that can change lives and restore those affected to a life of clean and sober living. May the families impacted remember that we can hate the addiction and still love the addicted. Today I pray for the healing of relationships.

Businesses get reprieve from new sales tax rules May 31 is new date for protocol to take effect BY TABATHA STEWART SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
The Colorado Department of Revenue has extended the deadline for Colorado businesses to comply with new sales tax rules to May 31, 2019. The emergency rules, which were enacted Sept. 26, originally were to take effect Nov. 30, but amid concerns from legislators and the business community, the DOR an-

May this season of love and joy bring together those who have drifted apart; may the blessing of love and forgiveness be with those who desire restoration in their relationships; may the blessing of understanding and acceptance mend fences in families and friendships where lingering hurts and disappointments may exist. May all that work through and do with each other and for each other be done in love. Today I pray for all of the families who are remembering loved ones this holiday season. Perhaps it’s the first season where their presence will be missed. I pray that the loving memories and happy reminders of those we have loved and lost will soothe the pain and the hurt of missing them so very much this holiday season. May the blessing of peace and love fill the hearts and souls of those who are grieving. May the happiness and joy of those we have lost never be forgotten. Today I pray for our community, our country, and the world. May this sea-

They named a field after Elbel. I think he deserves more than that. The song reaches into me for a number of reasons. We lived in Ann Arbor and I became a devoted Wolverine. My father and sister both attended and graduated. There might be more to it than that. It stirs my goosebumps. Next: Paying attention to anything Kanye West says is still optional.

Supreme Court ruling in the case of South Dakota vs. Wayfair, in which South Dakota won the right to receive sales tax on items purchased on the internet and shipped to the state. The emergency rules make it mandatory for Colorado retailers who ship products out of their jurisdiction to collect sales tax based on the rate of where the item is shipped. Supporters of the decision have said the move levels the playing field and could bring in as much as $48 million in revenue to Colorado in the first year, with as much as $200 million in subsequent years. “This has opened the door for all states to say `We can fix this unfair competition problem and start telling internet sites they have to pay sales tax,’” said Democratic state Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp of Arvada,
chair of the Sales and Use Tax Simplification Task Force. “This new law could bring in as much as $48 million this year.” The website colorado.gov/tax was created by the DOR to help Colorado retailers understand and navigate the new laws, and includes a “hold harmless” list that makes it easier for business owners to look up the tax at the item’s destination. “If a retailer uses the platform and the charge is wrong, they will be held harmless,” said Carr. The DOR will evaluate the need for another extension as May 31 nears, and Carr said the additional time will give the state Legislature an opportunity to find innovative solutions to streamline and simplify our sales tax collection laws in accordance with the wishes of the residents of Colorado.

Metro area offers many events away from downtown Denver, high prices BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

enver metro-area residents know the scene well: Hordes of friends and families huddled in downtown Denver to watch the fireworks wave the closing year goodbye. But if the cold and crowds — and in the case of many of downtown’s parties, the cost — don’t sound attractive, New Year’s Eve in the metro area packs many lesser-known events off the beaten path that might do the trick, including something for introverts. Dance to an ‘alternative’ beat For those who miss when The Killers dominated the alternative music scene, central Denver’s Bar Standard dance club has the perfect event. “It’s the kind of thing you’d want to do in your real life,” said Michael Trundle, DJ and promoter for the Lipgloss dance party. “You’re not doing it because you’re supposed to do it because it’s New Year’s Eve. You’re going to hear music you actually like and care about.” Lipgloss, which bills itself as a dance party “for people who don’t usually like clubs,” is one of four dance events to be held at the Milk Bar and Bar Standard at 1037 N. Broadway in central Denver — just a few minutes from downtown — from 9 p.m.-2 a.m. The event, titled “An Alternative NYE,” will include Lipgloss’ indie rock and indie pop dance floor, an `80s new wave floor, a goth floor and a synthwave floor. The multiple rooms also feature multiple bars, Trundle said. There’s no dress code at the no-frills event — people can wear jeans or “whatever floats your boat,” Trundle said. Away from the downtown fire-

People just dance. My favorite thing is DJing to people who actually dance.” The music will be non-top 40, and “everything from The Killers to LCD Soundsystem is what we’d play in the indie room,” Trundle said. Tickets online are $15 for the presale and will go up to $20 on New Year’s Eve. Buy them at bit.ly/2QEKmgK. For introverts, readers A “boozy, bookish” night is in store at northwest Denver’s BookBar, where the Introvert’s New Year’s Eve Party will offer board games, coloring books, silent reading, snacks and, yes, a midnight countdown with a champagne toast and dessert. “This event is particularly for people who don’t want to be at a loud bar,” said Kateri Kramer, 27, the events and marketing coordinator
for the bookstore and wine bar. “It’s centered on community and ringing in the new year with good conversation, good drink and good friends because we believe that ringing in 2019 with the people we love is important.” The gathering at 4280 Tennyson St. will include a full wine and beer menu and has no dress code. BookBar encourages browsing, Kramer said, and tickets include a 20 percent off coupon for any book purchase. Tickets are $30 at bit.ly/2A7wCRn, and the event runs 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. `70s and `80s parties The Viewhouse restaurant, bar and rooftop in Littleton and Centennial will host `70s- and `80s-themed dance parties, respectively.

think it’s fair to say most of us will remember 2018 as a pretty tumultuous year. It seems like every week there was some kind of unusual or momentous happening. Contentious elections, dire environmental happenings and social upheaval - 2018 had COMING it all. ATTRACTIONS It’s perhaps fitting then that the music world in 2018 was also experiencing its own period of upheaval. Perhaps more than any year I can recall, the best music of the year was made by Clarke Reader new voices, while established voices mainly remained quiet, possibly experiencing their own issues. I picked five albums that might have crept under the radar in this busy year and detailed why they are worth your time. Here’s hoping for a steadier year in 2019. LP5000 - Restorations Some of the best rock music in its early years was connected to the fractious happenings of the day. Think about the work of musicians like Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Bob Dylan, Buffalo Springfield and Creedence Clearwater Revival. The fourth album from Philadelphia’s Restorations taps into today’s political world with a sharp eye and empathetic approach to the everyday people affected by the decisions of politicians. At times, Jon Loudon’s vocals convey rage and other times resignation. But on the best album opener of the year, he gets at one universal truth — none of us can do this on our own. Harlan and Alondra - Buddy As a listener, it’s always exciting when a rapper you’ve been hearing as a guest on other’s songs breaks out into the world on their own. It took Simmie Sims III, who performs under the name Buddy, nearly a decade to get to that point, but he did this year with the release of “Harlan and Alondra.” The album is practically engineered to be played loud in your car on a sunny day with the windows rolled down. Highlights like “Trouble on Central,” “The Blue” and “Speechless” are the perfect blends of rap and soul, thanks to Buddy’s gifts as a rapper and singer. Hopefully, this is just the first entry in a long career.

New Year’s Eve overflowing with events Denver area offers myriad of good times for revelers BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A
ll over the world, people celebrate the beginning of a new year. In years past, readers may have watched music and fireworks across the nation — across the world — including New York City’s famous Ball Drop at Times Square, as the music of “Auld Lang Syne” plays. Many of us have sung that over the years, wherever we happened to land on the final day of December. Recordings used are often of the Guy Lombardo version, which his orchestra played in New York City each New Year’s Eve from 1929 to 1976. A quick search tells us it means something like “days gone by,” and is sung as a symbol of being with friends on that night. Poet Robert Burns wrote it down from the traditional ballad in the late 18th century and the tradition continues ... Denver area celebrations are extensive, including major hotels and restaurants across the metro area — one will want to be sure of a reservation wherever one chooses to go — and there are gatherings, concerts and more, if one is looking to be with many others — or perhaps a sip of bubbly at home with family or friends is one’s choice. Or perhaps a movie and a nice late

Lush - Snail Mail Its encouraging to know that after more than 50 years as a cultural force, rock music still is home to random band names that don’t make a lick of sense. But don’t let the fact that 19-year-old Lindsey Jordan records under the goofy name of Snail Mail distract you from the fact that she’s a guitar hero for a new generation. “Lush,” the debut album from Snail Mail, is an astoundingly assured and lovely 10-track affair. Each entry is startlingly intimate entry of an audio journal, where Jordan explores love and life and the sadness that often comes from both. Jordan also proves herself a wicked-sly guitar player, layering solos and licks into her moody alt-rock missives. If you think rock is dead, put this album on before you record time of death. Yolk in the Fur - Wild Pink The sophomore album is a tricky proposition for many recording artists. Many repeat themselves, others make bold attempts at new sounds, but very few actually manage to improve. Yet New York’s Wild Pink manage to

Some countries feature pork (Cuba, Austria, Italy) and others enjoy ring-shaped cakes (Netherlands, Mexico, Greece, etc.) Many area choices assume a fairly fat wallet. • Bar Louies across the area, including the one at 10661 Westminster Blvd in Westminster Promenade are hosting parties. In Westminster, it’s a masquerade party with special New Years Eve cocktails, party favors and a champagne toast to ring in 2019. Tickets are $50 and available in advance at www.barlouie.com/nye. • A personal favorite near home is the family-friendly free fireworks display on Denver’s 16th Street Mall if weather is decent. A stunning display is shot from the roofs of tall buildings at 9 p.m. and again at midnight, spilling over the dark facades with a blaze of color. Families with children might want to enjoy a sweet treat first and get established at a good vantage point to watch — somewhere between 15th and 17th streets … Parking is, of course, an issue — consider arrival by light rail. Some may wish to enjoy the Colorado Symphony’s early program of Viennese music first, then walk over to 16th. And there are three parties at Union Station: Great Hall. Lower Level and Cooper Lounge — reservations required in all — 720460-3738.

The Sherman Street Event Center holds a black-tie party with live bands. • Children have a chance to celebrate at the Children’s Museum (9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with ball drops and countdowns) and there is skating at the downtown Denver rink at Skyline Park — free if you bring skates.

do just that on “Yolk in the Fur.” The group’s debut was a clever, but fairly routine indie rock record. But on “Yolk,” they embrace the kind of heartland rock that has made groups like The War on Drugs top draws at festivals all over the country. Wild Pink washes their songs in shimmering acoustic guitars, quicksilver solos and echoing vocal work. The end result is a transporting interior journey. Girl Going Nowhere - Ashley McBryde For most of the 21st century, women have proven themselves to be MVPs of the country genre. Performers like Kacey Musgraves, Miranda Lambert and early Taylor Swift ignored the bro-culture of the genre, and instead mined their lives for songs about love, the challenges facing small communities and much more. On her second album, Ashely McBryde proves herself a worthy continuation of this line of performers. “A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega,” is one of the most honest songs about feeling lost I’ve heard from any performer, and that’s just one of 11 gems on this treasure-trove.

‘Mary Poppins’ provides magical moments on stage IF YOU GO

Cherry Tree Lane is spelled out by a pair of large pinkblossoming trees, painted at the front edges of Vintage Theatre’s wide stage, for “Mary Poppins.” Bert (a chipper, engaging Kalond Irlanda), the cheerful Cockney chimney sweep/narrator, appears singing and introduces the scene and the Banks family — who have gone through six nannies in the past four months, due to unruly Michael and Jane. (We saw talented Nathaniel WaiteLutz and Hazel Kachline, both Denver School of the Arts students, in the double-cast role.) Kerri Emswiller is the bewildered mom, Winnifred, and Michael O’Shea is the pompous father, George. As lights go up, an angry former nanny storms out and two smug, grinning kids stand on the stair landing, watching. Mom is in tears and Dad mutters “Nannies should govern!” The banker also says “I remain the sovereign of Cherry Tree Lane.” No wonder there’s trouble! The kids write up a new ad to place in the newspaper, stating what sort of nanny they’d

like to see in the position, and poof ! A smiling woman with a carpet bag and umbrella with a green parrot head on its handle appears — carrying a copy of the kids’ ad and repeating some of their requirements. She introduces herself and says she’s come to care for the children, whom she quickly lines up for a dose from a pink bottle. “A Spoonful of Sugar makes the Medicine Go Down” she sings, then tells Michael and Jane to head upstairs, “Spit! Spot!” She follows them and the magic journey begins for this disturbed family, as
Mary pulls a tall hat rack, teapot and cup, green plant and other items she needs out of her magic carpet bag … (which is empty when the kids peer in). Readers will be familiar with the story, so what they need to know is that Vintage Theatre in Aurora is staging a delightful musical version, based on the books and popular Disney movie. If you are fortunate enough to have young ones in your life, take them to see it. (If not, go anyhow!) “Mary Poppins” runs through Jan. 6. Caroline Lohr, who makes

‘This is Colorado’ awards announced at college “This is Colorado” 2018 Best of Show award went to Tamiko Watada Takeda for her oil painting, “Shadows: Reflections of Life.” It is at Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College.

The spacious Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College was crowded on Dec. 13 as artists, families, friends gathered to celebrate. Juror Trish Sangelo, gallery director, announced winners of the “This is Colorado” annual exhibition, a partnership between ACC and the Heritage Fine Arts Guild — all examples of especially strong painterly technique, although quite different. • Best of Show: Tomiko Watada Takeda’s 16-by-20-inch oil painting, “Shadows, Reflections of Life.” The landscape depicts a sunny fall day, with a lone figure nearing the end of a pathway along a split rail fence, which makes a strong shadow pattern ... Her website offers her words about it: “The painting is a visual metaphor. The shadows along the walking path reflect the pathway of our lives ...” • First Place: Susan Yager’s small, expressive oil portrait of a woman, “Imagine.” One speculates about what she sees and reacts to at that moment ... • Second Place: “Colorado Craft,” a sparkling watercolor by Cindy Welch, shows a wooden bar top with glasses and bottles of beer — and surroundings. • Third Place: “Fire and Ice: Autumn in the Rockies” by Lee Wasilik,

Sangelo also specified four “Juror’s Choice” awards and there were a dozen vendor’s awards, from Jack Richeson School of Art (three); Ampersand Paper; Cheap Joe’s Art Supplies; Gamblin Artists Colors; Guiry’s Art Supplies (three); Tech for All (Rose Keating) (two); and Windsor Newton Watercolor. The guild does an exceptional job of gathering this extra support for the annual exhibit. Sangelo said there were 164 entries from 60 different artists. From those, 60 paintings were chosen (a few had more than one accepted and some, none — a juror focuses on the image presented, not the artist’s name).
Most are representational and techniques vary greatly, so a visitor will see a range of images, mediums, visions, with a lot of options for creating stories for oneself: What’s going on here? What is that person pictured thinking about? What was the artist thinking when she/he created this image? Might the artist have been feeling sad, mad, elated, subdued by a place of exceptional beauty??? And/ or was the artist especially competent at handling a chosen medium? Are the color choices calming or jarring? Is there a rhythm? How is light handled? How about the composition of the elements depicted — and the negative spaces? We hope readers will find time to enjoy this pleasing collection of works by Colorado artists. (The
ABOUT TOMIKO WATADA TAKEDA Tomiko Watada Takeda, “Best of Show” winner in the “This is Colorado” exhibition at Arapahoe Community College, is an artist who lives in Parker and is active in the Parker Arts Guild, but she also is active in the larger area and has exhibited in Littleton’s “Own an Original” and Lone Tree’s Art Expo and elsewhere.

Book tells story of girl’s journey into new life Young Adult novel is written by Evergreen author BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In a new novel, we meet lead character Esther Ainsworth and her family, late on the day they arrive at a new home in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, after a move from their home in Ohio … The new house, “the color of sand,” is larger than their former one and feels unwelcoming. The family is peering into a swimming pool — but it’s empty — and a cactus outside her bedroom window is “drinking up all the water in the desert,” the unhappy girl grumbles. “The Infinite Pieces of Us,” tells of Esther’s journey — across the country and into a new life … and it tells of the diverse new friends she meets who help her grow and adjust. Former teacher and successful author for young adults, Rebekah Crane of Evergreen, has just published her fifth YA novel on Nov. 1: “The Infinite Pieces of Us,” which should be available for YA readers soon if not yet on shelves. (Ask for it.) Crane, who has two younger daughters, says the teens who populate her novel aren’t modeled after particular students she’s had in classes — but “kind of a meshing of kids I’ve taught — or met on author visits to schools. I’m always on the lookout …” Some are concrete, such as Jesus and Color. In “The Infinite Pieces of Us,” she thought about how characters changed: Moss changed a lot, Hannah changed a lot and the one who changed the most is Esther’s difficult stepfather, Tom, who insisted on the move to avoid a problem Esther had caused — so it was her fault they were in the desert. Crane was most recently “on the lookout” at an International School in Brussels, where she has a connection. On those school visits, she talks to kids about her work and a writing career in general and reads brief selections from her books .And probably talks about what they’re writing … She has also been working on a script for a film of her earlier book, “Aspen.” A different sort of challenge. “I loved that — it’s a completely different world, including navigating the business side.” She compared that experience to writing a book, where she “sees it like a movie in my head.” We asked about her writing process. “I’m an organized writer. I take usually a few months to research and read — usually in spaces I want to write, whether fiction or non-fiction, and work pretty methodically piece by piece. I wish I had a little more space — I’m flying by the seat of my pants! I always find surprises along the way. “The characters’ personality traits
and back story develop along the way. Then I go back to the start — I love when that happens. In about four months, I have a first draft and the book develops slowly, over a year — not all at once. It’s edited before submission ... Each book is a stand-alone story.” (Others are: “The Upside of Falling Down,” “The Odds of Loving Grover Cleveland,” “Aspen” and Playing Nice.”) Another one is due in August 2019; “Postcards for a Songbird.”) Esther is especially good at math and she makes up clever math jokes that get conversations started. Pushed to join the church by her mom and very religious stepfather, she meets Beth, who wears interesting T-shirts and seems to question things as Esther does. Esther and her sister Hannah are supposed to be home-schooled, although that story line is not really developed. So she’s a thinking girl, but the new stuff she’s learning is social rather than intellectual, it seems — and much needed. Color, a really imaginative, nicely drawn girl, becomes a friend when she comes to clean Esther’s house. She’s enrolled in a work-study program at school, and needs the money she can earn, since her single mom is unreliable and she and her brother, Moss, have a place to live, but not a steady source of groceries. Moss, who is a runner, becomes a connection for Esther and they grow some in parallel spaces as they fall for each other. Esther’s new friends have a unique secret meeting place, where they feel free to talk about pretty much anything, unthreatened … Inclusion allows her to begin a new life — and grow a lot, intellectually, spiritually and physically. I particularly liked Crane’s scenes set there — it’s called “Heaven”— and I enjoyed the sense of security it offered. (I wonder how many teens have anything comparable?) “Common things about teens,” Crane says: “they all like to hang out with friends and listen to music …” Esther, while she tends to lack respect for things related to organized religion, often uses the work “numinous,” which refers to a spiritual quality in things. She just needs a different way of expressing that aspect of her life. When Crane started teaching, there wasn’t much in the way of novels for young adults, she says. There was a huge goal to keep being more diverse and publishers responded. “Always to students, my job is to be honest. For me it’s most important to maintain a book’s honesty.” She finds her association with a group of like-minded authors who get together quarterly for dinner and conversation. Some write science fiction/fantasy, some contemporary. All are female. There’s an online forum and one retreat a year. “Great sounding board.” “Being a mom forces your hand,” she observes. “Things happen much more methodically.”

Family Coding Night highlights new tech in education Event offers hands-on look into cutting-edge tools to teach skills BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
At first glance, it looked like a bunch of kids playing with toys. Elementary-aged students fiddled with yellow plastic bees, tapped on tablets that controlled robots and designed simple applications on laptops — like making a cartoon dance or move around. This was the sight at the Chaparral Family Coding Night at Sierra Middle School Dec. 6. The event allowed students to test out new educational devices and showcase their application across all subjects in school. The “toys” are controlled through computer coding and can be simply adjusted by a student. It’s the second annual event like this put on by the Chaparral feeder system, which includes Pine Lane, Mammoth Heights, Pine Grove, Prairie Crossing Cherokee Trail elementaries, Sierra Middle School and Chaparral High School. “I have so many parents and families that say ‘I don’t understand what my kids are doing at school related to computer programming,’” Blair said. “We wanted parents and their

Coding night was dedicated to showcasing the new technologies schools have that involve learning computer code in curriculum. NICK PUCKETT children to have opportunities to get exposure to computer science just to wet their pallet to want to learn more.” Angela and Michael Herrera learned how to control a tiny coding robot, the Ozobot Bit, which can follow a designated path designed using a marker. Morgan Molcsan fiddled
with a coding application on a laptop that controlled the size of a cartoon robot by simply changing a number of the coding format. Ken Molcsan, Morgan’s father, is a computer scientist by trade and saw the importance of teaching coding at an early age. “I think it’s important for our kids
to be able to learn how to do programming. It’s prevalent in everything we do today,” said Molcsan. “In the future, everybody’s going to need to learn how to do this stuff, so it’s important for kids to learn now.” This was the third year in a row with a night dedicated to a hands-on coding event for parents to get involved. The night finished off the National Computer Science Education Week for schools worldwide, including several in the Douglas County School District. Dubbed “Hour of Code,” the event hopes to get students familiarized with coding According to Code.org, the nonprofit behind the annual “Hour of Code” and the host of the event, there are almost 10 times as many computing job openings nationwide as there are students graduating with a degree in computer science. Douglas County School District Assistant Superintendent Ted Knight said learning to code will be vital for any student as they move forward in education. “We have plenty of industry partners that want this in the hands of students at an early age so they understand it,” Knight said. “Some of the time there’s other subjects specifically integrated in, other times the teacher use it as a vehicle to bring other subjects in, just because you’re bringing in student engagement because of some nifty gadget the kids can play with.”

Physically challenged athlete takes world title in trail race ‘You have to have a positive outlook,’ says man whose life changed in military accident BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Seventeen years ago when he was serving in the Bosnia Peace Operation, Craig Vogtsberger was crushed between two military trucks. He was left with a traumatic brain injury, spinal injury, partial paralysis and nerve disorder. Doctors said he would never walk again. Since then, Vogtsberger has participated in more than 100 foot races and triathlons. On Dec. 2, he placed first in his division in the XTERRA Trail Run World Championship in Hawaii. XTERRA is an off-road race and lifestyle brand. Vogtsberger completed the intensive, 13-mile course through ankle-deep mud, up a set of stairs, and down a steep hill, in three hours and six minutes. “The human body is capable of so much more than you think,” said Vogtsberger, 44. “You have to get there mentally — you have to have a positive outlook and believe in yourself.” Vogtsberger, a Highlands Ranch resident, was born in Illinois and raised in different states across the country. His father worked in the oil business. At the University of Oklahoma, he joined the National Guard. He wanted to follow in the footsteps of the men in his family who served in the military, he said. After graduating from college, Vogtsberger joined the United States Capitol Police in Washington, D.C. He was then sent overseas to Bosnia, where one moment forever changed his life.

He spent the following five years in and out of the hospital, relying on a wheelchair, cane and crutches. He spiraled into a dark depression and had frequent panic attacks. He went bankrupt from the neverending medical bills — his Department of Veterans Affairs benefits didn’t take effect for three years. His wife left him. His family lived out of state. “Everyone just kind of quit on me,” Vogtsberger said. “I thought, this isn’t living, this is barely existing.” In 2006, Vogtsberger saw an ad in the newspaper for a triathlon and thought: “That is living.” He found a trainer and day-by-day started to regain his life back. He walked a quarter-mile on the treadmill, which increased to a half-mile, which led to a mile. The pain was excruciating, he said.

Craig Vogtsberger nears the finish line at the XTERRA Trail Run World Championship on Dec. 2 in Hawaii. He placed first in the Physically Challenged Male Division. PHOTOS COURTESY OF JESSE PETERS
Two years later, a doctor introduced Vogtsberger to a dynamic leg brace — the BlueROCKER by Allard USA — that boosted his performance. The brace stabilizes Vogtsberger’s left leg, which is partially paralyzed. He went on to compete in eight XTERRA World Championships and earn two titles. Vogtsberger is the most decorated, physically challenged athlete in the company’s history, with nine regional off-road triathlon titles, five trail run titles and five USA Championship crowns since 2008, a media release says. Vogtsberger started a recent December day with yoga, followed by a comprehensive swimming session and hour-long run. He trains at least six days a week. His goal is to qualify for the 2020 Summer Paralympics in Tokyo. His coach, Christine Palmquist, will try to help him achieve that goal. The two met in 2015 at an international triathlon race in Mexico. Palmquist around the camp fire. We usually camp in designated forest service or state park campgrounds within 2 to 5 hours of Denver.

coaches Vogtsberger remotely from Chicago, where she lives. They communicate throughout the day about his training routines, mindset and health. “He is a very strong athlete,” Palmquist said. “When you meet him, you immediately have the feeling that he is not actually suffering from too many impairments, when actually he is. He has a lot of injuries from that pretty catastrophic event.” When he isn’t training, Vogtsberger spends time with his wife and three kids. He takes his 3-year-old daughter to the park. He goes on jogs with his stepson. He’s working on a fiction novel and a book of a blueprint for other physically challenged athletes. Vogtsberger struggles daily. He never knows if his body will quit on him, he said. But his passion for competing pushes him forward. “You have to find that thing,” Vogtsberger said. “Whatever that thing you love is, that is what you focus on.” Refreshments are served at 6:30 p.m. and the presentation is at 7 p.m. Visit castlerockhistoricalsociety.org Castle Rock Orchestra is a fun, stress-free community orchestra open to all adults.

Denver Audubon celebrating 50th anniversary with a big year STAFF REPORT
Denver Audubon will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2019. As part of the landmark, the society will sponsor a six-county Big Birding Year. A Big Year is a competition among birders, attempting to identify as many species as possible by sight or sound, within a single calendar year and within a specific geographic area. “The Denver Audubon Big Year is an opportunity to really get to know the birds in your local community and the metro area, while partici-
pating in a fun, friendly competition against other birders,” Karl Brummert, executive director of Denver Audubon, said in a news release. “Challenge your friends and family, and challenge yourself to add to your bird life list in 2019.” Birders of all levels are welcome to explore the birding sites in the metro area’s six counties: Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson. The society also will have a viewing of the movie “The Big Year” next summer and a presentation by author Mark Obmascik at the kickoff event Jan. 23.
The Denver Audubon Bird Year begins Jan. 1, 2019, at midnight and ends Dec. 31, 2019, at 11:59 p.m. Participants identify bird species in any or all six counties. One winner will be named per county. Register at denveraudubon.org. The fee to participate is $10, which will help support Denver Audubon’s school and public nature programs. All birders will need to record their sightings using eBird from your mobile app or on your home computer, at ebird.org. Denver Audubon will offer ebird classes and tutorials, as well as
field trips to hone your birding skills. Founded in 1969, Denver Audubon is a chapter of the National Audubon Society. It is an environmental education and conservation organization with more than 3,000 members whose goal is to protect birds and their habitats in the Denver region and beyond. Denver Audubon is dedicated to connecting people with nature through education, conservation and research. For information, call 303-973-9530 or visit www.denveraudubon.org.

McCaffrey, Zemla soared with the Eagles Players of the year from Valor headline All-South Metro team BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Luke McCaffrey and Ethan Zemla were dual threats for the state champion Valor Christian football team and headline the Colorado Community Media All-South Metro football team. The 26-player team was selected with the assistance of area coaches. Players were eligible from schools in the Douglas County and Littleton districts, plus Valor Christian, Cherry Creek, Englewood and Lutheran high schools. McCaffrey, the senior quarterback who has committed to play football at Nebraska, is the 2018 Offensive Player of the Year and joins his older brothers Christian and Dylan as CCM Players of the Year. Zemla, a senior who will continue his education and play football for the University of Pennsylvania, was named the South Metro Defensive Player of the Year. McCaffrey was double trouble for defenses that attempted to contain him. He
passed for 2,202 yards and 21 touchdowns in helping the Eagles win the state 5A championship. And, he often kept plays and drives alive with his running ability as he rushed for 526 yards and eight TDs. “I thought it was a real good year and I was able to grow a lot because of the people around me that challenged me,” he said. “From an expectations standpoint, I lived up to what I wanted for the year because we reached the final goal to go undefeated and win state.” Zemla always seemed to be involved in tackles from his linebacker position, but he said he took one for the team when he agreed to be the team’s left guard on offense because the Eagles started the season without players ready to play along the line of scrimmage. “I thought I played great, especially having to play both sides of the ball,” Zemla said. “I really had to push myself to keep going. Defensively I felt I played really well.” Zemla ended the season with 149 total tackles, including 94 solo stops. He was in on 8.5 quarterback sacks.

Arapahoe athletes share soccer honor Cobb, Gail helped Warriors make their way to top spot in 5A BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Arapahoe won the Class 5A boys state soccer championship using opportunistic offense and a stingy defense. A lot of different players contributed to the team’s success, but it was Cameron Gail who was the go-to offensive threat, while Spencer Cobb’s goalkeeping was the backbone of the Warriors’ defense. It was hard to determine which player was more instrumental in Arapahoe winning its first state title since 1997, so Gail and Cobb are the 2018 Colorado Community Media South Metro Co-Soccer Players of the Year. Gail led the Centennial League with 20 goals and 48 points. He was third in the state among 5A players in goals and fifth in points. “I was extremely happy with my season, a lot of goals and assists,” said Gail. “All I wanted was to win a state championship at the end of it. Toward the end of the season I knew we had to play a team game more
than just going out and getting goals. “I didn’t want the whole team to rely on me just for that. I wanted to be a team player and find my other forwards and get them just as involved because they are just as talented. It got a little harder for me personally but then it opened up more chances for my teammates because they got more room on the outside.” In four state playoff games, he had two goals plus a shootout goal. He collected the gamewinning goal in a 1-0 win over Fairview and had assists on the winning tallies against Arvada West and Grandview in the state championship game. Cobb was credited with 115 saves in 20 games during the season and had a 0.426 goals against average. He was outstanding in the playoffs as the Warriors allowed just one goal in the four games. Cobb made 10 saves each in contests against Broomfield and Fairview, six against Arvada West and seven against Grandview. “He also made two penalty kick saves against Broomfield in the semifinals,” said Arapahoe coach Mark Hampshire. “He gave up only a total of eight goals all season. He is, in my humble opinion, the best goaltender in the state. He was fantastic.”

new year is approaching and a change could be imminent for the Colorado High School Activities Association’s big-school football playoffs. CHSAANow.com reported that admin- OVERTIME istrators from large schools around the state have proposed a plan creating a 6A bracket for the state playoffs that could help with the inequity in the Class 5A playoffs. According to Jim Benton CHSAANow.com, a total of 12 teams have made the 5A quarterfinals since 2014 and five programs have made it to the quarters all five seasons. Two other schools have advanced to the quarters four of five seasons and two others have gone three times in five seasons. This is in contrast to 4A, where one team has been a quarterfinalist the past five years. One idea that will be considered, and one that I like, is all teams would be 5A during the regular season and no league changes would be required. At the end of the regular season, teams that finish first through eighth in the 5A RPI rankings would go into a 6A bracket for the playoffs and teams 9-24 would be in a 5A bracket and play for the state championship. The details of the selection criteria need to be resolved, but the new Composite Ranking System recommended for seeding by the football committee could be used. That system employs four data sources: RPI, MaxPreps rankings, Packard rankings and a coaches’ poll. Jim Thyfault, executive director of athletics and activities for Jeffco Public Schools, was one of the administrators in the meeting who discussed the new 6A playoff bracket idea, along with several other items. “Due to traveling to meetings and conferences the past couple weeks, we have not been able to meet specifically with our coaches,” he said. “We will be taking a hard look at this idea once we return from the holiday break. There are other factors to this as well, like the 2A, 3A and 4A wanting a bottom-10 league also that we need to consider. As a district, it is important that we maintain a big picture view and not just get focused on 8-10 teams.” Smoky Hill this season was undefeated and won the 5A bottom 10 League created for struggling football schools that ranked low in the RPI standings. Smoky Hill qualified for the state playoffs in 2018 after winning a combined eight games in five seasons. SEE BENTON, P24

The football committee will continue to debate the idea and get input from the membership before anything is proposed for the future classification system to the Legislative Council for approval in April. “It is a step in the right direction,” said ThunderRidge coach Doug Nisenson, who has rebuilt the Grizzlies’ program after a couple down seasons. “We are going to have to try things that not everyone sees as the perfect solution if we want to truly fix the problems facing 5A football. The perfect solution to one school is not to another so there will always have to be compromise. I do think it is a fair argument that it will not fix the main problems with 5A football, but it is a start.” In last season’s 5A playoffs, 24 teams made the bracket, with the top eight seeds getting first-round byes. Just to show the difference in programs, the average margin of victory in firstround games was 18.5 points. With the top eight teams playing in the second round, that average victory margin soared to 32.5 points. The quarterfinals had a 16.5 average victory margin and the semifinals were the most competitive and entertaining with the two games decided by five points. Many coaches favor the new idea. Castle View won one game in 2017 but was seeded 14th in the 2018 playoffs. The Sabercats won a first-round game but lost to state runner-up Cherry Creek, 41-14, in the second round. “The last 10 years, 5A football has been dominated by five or six schools,” said Castle View coach Todd Casebier. “This trend isn’t going to be changing anytime soon. I think this is a great idea. “I love the idea that other teams will have an opportunity to play in the final four or beyond. If you take out the dominant schools, the majority of 5A is similar. We can have a great 16-team playoff and the dominant teams will play each other just as they do now. Football in Colorado will get better because of competitive balance. The
year any of us have a special team, we will have a chance to play in the 6A playoffs.” ThunderRidge was seeded eighth, got a first-round bye and edged Fairview in the second round before losing to state champion Valor Christian, 30-17, in the quarterfinals. “I do think it is a fair argument that it (new idea) will not fix the main problems with 5A football, but it is a start,” added Nisenson. There are skeptics who say there will be variables because of injured players returning and teams possibly wanting to avoid the dominant teams. If a team is ranked eighth heading into the final week, it could be better not to go all out and maybe slip in the rankings to get a high seed in the 5A playoffs instead of going in eighth in the 6A bracket and having to face Valor Christian or another powerful opponent. “I know we would never do that but some team might,” said Casebier. “I think it would be cool to be in the top eight and something we would hope to achieve.” Nisenson doesn’t buy the idea that coaches would tank a game to stay in the 5A playoffs. “Seniors only get 10 regular-season games and I don’t see coaches or players being willing to sacrifice one of those,” he said. “I also do not agree with the argument that this format would make the 5A champion the ninth place team. We do not look at the 4A champion as the 41st place team. “The seven and eight seeds in the proposed 6A playoffs are not going to be in any different position than they are now. Yes, they may lose in round one or two instead of maybe winning the 5A championships but this is still something that can help build and sustain a program. In terms of what a program looks like from the outside to student athletes who are picking and choosing where they will play, it is a positive to be seen as a 6A playoff team.” Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.

December 24, 2018
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) It’s a good time to take a much-needed break from your recent hectic schedule and spend some time in quieter surroundings. Important news could arrive early next week. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Taurean traits of reliability and thoroughness could be well-tested when decision-makers consider your proposals and/or requests. Be prepared to answer some probing questions. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A sudden attack of boredom leaves you with some tasks undone. It’s OK to take a short respite. But get back to work by week’s end so that you have time for other projects. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Avoid prejudging a situation just because it looks bad. Facts could emerge that would make your position uncomfortable, to say the least. A relative has interesting news to share with you. LEO (July 23 to August 22) This is a good time to begin reassessing some of your recent decisions about your long-range goals to see if they still have merit. Spend more time with loved ones this weekend. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) An unsettled situation at home or on the job early in the week could drain your energy levels, making it difficult to get your work done on schedule. But things improve by midweek.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A temporary setback could give you time to go over your plans to find weaknesses you might have overlooked before. A romantic getaway with that special person is favored this weekend. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Professional and personal situations benefit once you set a positive tone in getting things off to a good start. Honest dialogue smoothes over any occasional display of balkiness. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A problem with workplace colleagues or family members seems to defy even your sage counsel. But be patient. Your words eventually will lead to a resolution. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Don’t just wait out that unexpected and unexplained delay in your career move. You could gain added respect if you ask why it happened and what you can do to move things along. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Although your workplace strategies usually are accepted, you could be challenged by someone who isn’t so favorably impressed. Be prepared to defend your positions. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your friendship circle expands, with new people coming into your life at this time. Welcome them warmly. But don’t neglect those cherished longtime personal relationships. BORN THIS WEEK: You love to search for knowledge and share it with others. You would make an especially fine teacher.

Upgrading your bathtub to a shower system can prevent fall-related injuries The National Aging in Place Council suggests that eliminating an old bathtub for a walkin shower can greatly increase bathroom safety and end fall-related injuries. The study also recommends switching to a handheld showerhead and installing grab bars to increase bathing safety.
M
ost seniors want to stay in their homes, but bathing safely and independently can become increasingly difficult with age. Transforming your bathtub/shower combination into a walkin shower can be an ideal solution. Dreamstyle Remodeling offers a new shower solution, featuring Kohler products, that fits directly into the existing tub space and has been engineered specifically for safety, cleanliness and retaining independence while bathing. Dreamstyle Remodeling’s walk-in showers benefit from over 140 years of Kohler engineering and bathroom innovation. This long-term innovation means the showers are more than just function, they’re built for aesthetics as well, and designed specifically to enhance a home’s unique beauty. As a company, Dreamstyle Remodeling acknowledges it’s tough to be faced with bathing difficulties in your own home – but that shouldn’t have to detract from your quality of life. The customizable showers come with a variety of features as well, so the bathroom can be personalized with ideal fixtures – things like Kohler’s Choreograph walls, which are made of natural marble in any pattern imaginable, and custom accessories like shelves, seating, sleek faucets, and the option of an Awaken handshower kit – a removable handheld showerhead with different spray options and easy access if bathing has become difficult.
