Times are tough, but options exist for first-time homebuyers White-hot real estate market might be easing slightly

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lacy Franks makes being a first-time homebuyer sound easy. Franks, who grew up in Black Hawk, bought her first home last September, a two-bedroom townhome just off I-225 in Aurora, for $220,000 after three months of searching throughout the metro area. The 26-year-old was able to plunk down a $20,000 down payment, using savings she originally intended to spend on medical school. When her career goals took her elsewhere, she decided to get in on Denver’s hot real estate market. “My friends all dreamed of getting married, but I wanted to buy a house,” Franks said. Franks had no debt, thanks to a fullride college scholarship, so getting a loan wasn’t hard. For those with debt, smaller savings accounts or bad credit, buying that first home can be a lot trickier — especially in a metro area that’s seen costs skyrocket and starter home construction stagnate, said Andrew Abram, a Realtor with Vision Real Estate who’s on the committee that prepares the Market Trends Report for the Denver Metro Association of Realtors. Market trends The median sales price for singlefamily homes in the Denver metro area in September was $409,000, up 7.6 percent since last year, according to the Denver Metro Association of Realtors report, and inventory is down more than 5 percent. For condos and townhomes, the median sales price was $268,000, up 11.2 percent over the same time last year. However, things may be looking up for first-time buyers, Abram said, as condo construction is finally picking up after more than a decade of stagnation commonly blamed on the so-called construction defects law, which established a low threshold for suing condo builders. Condos, commonly seen as a step-

pingstone for first-time buyers, saw construction increase nearly 20 percent over this time last year, according to the DMAR report, which may be attributable to the impact of House Bill 1279, a law that took effect this year that raises the standards for suing builders. While the median sale price of condos was on the rise, they were staying on the market longer — 39 days on average, up more than 25 percent over last year. Larger trends suggest the Denver real estate frenzy may be nearing its peak, Abram said, which can ease pressure on first-time buyers. “It’s still relatively difficult, but it’s slowed down enough recently for firsttime homebuyers to actually have time to think about their decision rather than seeing a house and writing an offer on the spot,” Abram said. “I think that’s much more healthy to allow people some time to think about one of the biggest purchases of their lives.” Sweetening the deal Plenty of first-time homebuyers will find themselves repeatedly outbid by investors who can lay cash on the barrelhead, said Del Van Essen, a senior loan officer with People’s National Bank, who has worked with first-time buyers for more than 30 years. “That’s why it’s important to get in with a loan officer at a mortgage company three months before you’re hoping to buy, so you can get pre-approved for a loan,” Van Essen said. “That way,

if you have skeletons in your closet, they can help you fix that.” If you have credit problems, working with collection agencies or getting a secured credit card can improve your credit, Van Essen said. There are a variety of programs to help first-time buyers come up with a down payment, Van Essen said. The Colorado Housing and Finance Authority, for instance, gives grants of up to 4 percent of a down payment for first-time buyers. The Metro Mortgage Assistance Program and Colorado Housing Assistance Corporation can also help. Getting pre-approved for a loan means baring it all, Van Essen said, and buyers should be ready to provide paystubs, two years of W2s, tax returns, bank statements, and to have their credit statements pulled. Buyers can expect to be outbid a few times, Abram said, so it’s important not to get too fixated on a particular property. “It is an exhaustive process,” Abram said. “At first it’s so much fun, then you get emotionally attached to a property, then you might put in an offer and not get it. Stick with it.” Buyers with less up-front cash can incentivize sellers by offering to waive appraisal contingencies, Abram said, or by writing a letter to sellers explaining why they connect with the house. “Normally a seller has lived in that house for a long time and have a deep emotional connection,” Abram said.

With houses in once-middle-class neighborhoods selling for almost half a million dollars, the question remains: Is this a real estate bubble? “Well, that’s the hundred-thousanddollar question,” Van Essen said. “There are still a lot of people moving here. There might be some stagnation of prices, but as long as rents are high and people are still coming, prices will probably continue to climb. It’s still a good investment.” Still, high prices mean that mortgage payments are high as well. Van Essen said at the low end, for a small condo in a less-desirable neighborhood, a buyer can probably expect to pay $1,500 a month — and although such prices are comparable with rent, it means buyers would do well to have an income three times the payment, or $4,500 a month. Franks said the hassle of buying was well worth it. Her townhome has climbed $20,000 in value since last year, and she’s happy to have a place of her own. “Plus, I love that I won’t have to move again soon,” she said.

Douglas County officials distribute SCFD checks to eight organizations

VOTE!

BY TABATHA DEANS STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Eight Douglas county nonprofit organizations were awarded grant checks, totaling nearly $318,000, by the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District. The SCFD was created in 1989, and money from the fund is distributed to nonprofit organizations that enlighten, entertain and educate Colorado residents through arts programs. SCFD is funded by a 1/10 of 1 percent sales and use tax, and is distributed throughout seven counties. Recipients were honored at a reception in the county offices in Castle Rock, where they received grant checks distributed by the Douglas County commissioners. Cherokee Ranch and Castle Foundation received $130,000 for general operating expenses. The ranch is used as an outdoor laboratory and classroom for environmental education and research. The 1920s castle is used for special events. Parker-based HawkQuest received $17,500, which will be used to help care for birds of prey, which the group uses to promote environmental awareness, biodiversity and education throughout the United States.

Complaint filed against committee backing ‘commUNITY’ candidates Watchdog organization questioning whether reports were accurate and timely

CALM AFTER THE STORM

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A watchdog organization is calling for transparency in a complaint filed against Douglas Schools for Douglas Kids, an independent expenditure committee that is backing anti-reform candidates who are collectively known as “commUNITY” in the Douglas County School Board race. The complaint, filed by Campaign Integrity Watchdog with the Colorado Secretary of State’s office on Oct. 26, says that Douglas Schools for Douglas Kids “failed to file accurate and timely reports of donations received,” as required under Colorado law. In an Oct. 16 report filed with the state, the committee reported a $300,000 donation made Oct. 4 by the American Federation of Teachers, a national teachers union. The complaint alleges that the committee did not report a separate donation of $300,000 made Oct. 4 by another entity, American Federation of Teachers Solidarity, which is the name of

the account used by the union for political spending, according to Janet Bass, deputy director of public affairs of the American Federation of Teachers. “It’s quite clear in this case that disclosure has neither been full or timely,” said Matt Arnold, director of Denver-based Campaign Integrity Watchdog, a nonpartisan organization. “Voters deserve to have the information at their fingertips when they are being bombarded with commercials, ads.” A letter from the American Federations of Teachers to the secretary of state’s elections division received on Oct. 27 states that the second filing was a duplicate and an attempt to change the name of the donor to “American Federation of Teachers Solidarity.” “The second report could be read to mean a second contribution was read,” Brandon Boswell, deputy political director of the American Federation of Teachers. “However, this is incorrect. There was only one contribution made, the amount was for $300,000, it was made on 10/4, and the correct name of the contributor is American Federation of Teachers Solidarity.” SEE COMPLAINT, P9

Nobody’s laughing off head injuries these days Concussions among student athletes treated with scrutiny, patience

FOLLOWING PROTOCOL The “return-to-learn” and “return-to-play” protocols employed by the Colorado High School Activities Association are credited with reducing the severity of brain injuries from concussions among high school athletes. Here are some of the guidelines:

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Piper Reasoner smiles as she asks a series of questions to a student in the training room at Legend High School. “What is your name?” “Are you nauseous?” “Am I in focus right now?” Minutes earlier the boy, 17, was elbowed in the head during basketball practice. A friend walked him to see Reasoner, Legend’s head athletic trainer. Dr. Kathy Vidlock, volunteer physician for Legend’s football team, marks a clipboard after each of his responses. The boy correctly repeats a series of three numbers back to Reasoner, but he can’t do the same when she gives him four digits to recall. She then guides him through a series of physical assessments, not unlike a roadside sobriety test. The boy manages to stand with his eyes closed, touch his nose and maintain his balance. Reasoner sends him back to class, but not practice. She rates his concussion below a 1 on a scale from 1 to 5, with 5 being the most severe. Nonetheless, she will check in with him almost daily for a couple of weeks. The slow, careful examination and follow-through highlights the caution that concussions are now treated with in Colorado schools. After years of studies and stories about concussions and professional athletes, a thoughtful and careful approach to the condition is now in place for school staff, athletics administrators, parents and students. “They’re usually 10 percent of the injuries we deal with,” Reasoner said, “but they take 90 percent of our time.” ‘I got scared’ One of the students Reasoner has spent a lot of time with is Grayson Engel, 17. Now a junior at Legend, Grayson

Return to learn Most students with concussions should stay home for one to three days after the injury. If symptoms are severe, the student athlete should be on bed rest and avoid texting, video games, computers, TV and homework. When symptoms are tolerable, manageable and intermittent for 30 to 45 minutes, the student athlete can be back at school with support from the school. The school should help the student understand that limiting academic and extracurricular activities for one to four weeks is necessary for good concussion recovery. Coaches, guidance counselors, school nurses, administrators and other staff should all communicate to ensure the best outcome for the injured student athlete.

Grayson Engel, a junior at Legend High School, suffered a concussion in 2015 playing rugby. Engel says he took the school’s recovery protocol seriously because he’s seen stories of the prevalence of CTE among NFL players. TOM SKELLEY suffered a concussion as a freshman playing on Legend’s football and rugby teams. During rugby practice in April 2015, Grayson’s head was sandwiched between the other players’ heads as they collided. He didn’t black out, but he fell over and “really zoned out.” “My teammates had to explain what happened,” he said. His mother, Teresa, took Grayson to an urgent care facility that evening and became worried as he turned pale and failed the tests the doctor administered. Teresa’s concerns were compounded by seeing media reports about concussions among NFL players, and managing a call center for clinics that treat college and professional athletes with brain damage. “I got scared,” she said. “How bad does it have to get for there to be consequences 20 years later?” Return to play, return to learn Over the last decade, the national discussion on chronic traumatic encephalopathy or

Head trainer Piper Reasoner examines a student at Legend High School after he sustained a head injury at basketball practice. Reasoner says she sees students with concussions resulting from a variety of activities including skateboarding, cheerleading, soccer and football. TOM SKELLEY CTE — a progressive degenerative disease of the brain found in people, many of them athletes, with a history of repetitive brain trauma — and the risk of long-term brain damage from concussions has grown louder. A study by neuropathologist Dr. Ann McKee found 110 of 111 brains of National Football League players had CTE. The results of her study were published in July in The Journal of the American Medical Association. And the National High School Sports-Related

Injury Surveillance Study, generated by the Center for Injury Research and Policy, reported that concussions accounted for almost 25 percent of all injuries sustained by high school athletes in the 2014-15 school year. According to Bert Borgmann, assistant commissioner of the Colorado High School Activities Association, discussion about how to best handle head injuries has already been underway in Colorado schools. SEE CONCUSSIONS, P8

WHAT TO WATCH FOR Immediate treatment is the best way to rule out a concussion or learn what to do to minimize damage from the injury. A parent or guardian should call 911 if they see any of the following symptoms in a child: • One pupil is larger than the other. • Drowsiness or inability to wake up. • A headache that gets worse and won’t go away. • Slurred speech, weakness, numbness or decreased coordination. • Repeated vomiting or nausea, convulsions or

seizures, shaking or twitching. • Unusual behavior, increased confusion, restlessness, sadness or agitation. • Loss of consciousness — even a brief loss of consciousness should be taken seriously. Signs and symptoms of concussions in toddlers and infants: • Any of the signs and symptoms listed above. • Child will not stop crying and cannot be consoled. • Child will not nurse or eat.

Other signs a child may have suffered a concussion or brain injury: • Child can’t remember events prior to or just after a hit or fall. • Child answers questions slowly. • Child moves clumsily or awkwardly or displays double or blurry vision. • Child complains of headache or “pressure” in head. • Child is bothered by light or noise. Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Return to play An athlete should be symptom-free before being allowed to start the graduated return to play. This means an athlete must be functioning at 100 percent of pre-concussion levels academically and at home before returning to athletic activity. School staff, coaches, guidance counselors, administrators should maintain communication and work closely with parents to monitor the student athlete’s progress. All athletes should be put through a progressive and graduated return to play protocol, beginning with light exercise and working their way back to full participation. Returning an athlete who is still symptomatic to physical play increases the risk of “Second Impact Syndrome,” in which an athlete is still symptomatic from a concussion and sustains a second impact that can result in serious brain damage or death.

Interdenominational Christian school opens in Castle Rock Open house set for Nov. 7 BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Kingsway Academy was granted occupancy of a former gym in Castle Rock just three weeks before the private school was scheduled to open. “People say it takes a village to raise a kid,” said Torrence Jackson, the school’s director. “For us, it took a village to build a school.” Serving grades pre-kindergarten through sixth, the private school opened its doors on Sept. 6 at 4760 Castleton Way, off I-25 and Founders Parkway. The school is interdenominational and represents more than 10 different Christian churches in the Castle Rock area, including Front Range Christian Church, Plum Creek Community Church and Calvary Castle Rock. The school’s curriculum is Jesuscentered. There is a strong focus on family, leadership, service to the community and critical thinking skills. Jackson strives to make available events and opportunities for his students’ families to connect, he said. With about 75 students, the school is still taking shape. Permanent walls — right now there are tall dividers — will be built over summer 2018. Jackson’s goal is to have Kingsway Academy

CONCUSSIONS FROM PAGE 6

“Some of (the NFL’s) research had already been going on at the high school and college level,” Borgmann said. High school and college athletic programs were training coaches and athletes to prevent head injuries, but after seeing data on long-term effects from concussions, including CTE, CHSAA and its affiliates revised guidelines to ensure students are fully recovered before returning to classrooms and locker rooms. “What’s even more important is almost every school district in Colorado now has return-to-learn protocols,” Borgmann said. Fluorescent lights, computer screens and cognitive activity can all aggravate concussion symptoms. As such, any student who has suffered one must be cleared by a physician before returning to school. Further evaluation and clearance is typically required before returning to light exercise and, eventually, playing time.

Taking it seriously Football causes the majority of concussions in high school sports, according to Reasoner, Borgmann and Vidlock. But students get concussions from soccer, cheerleading, skateboarding — even falls in the classroom — and they all go through the same process to return to school and sports. “You can’t use your phone, you can’t watch TV,” Grayson said. “The majority of the day consists of sitting

around and sleeping.” Grayson waited a few days before returning to class, but it was three weeks before he did any assignments or light exercise with his rugby teammates. Six weeks after the injury he hit the rugby field again, just in time for the last game of the season. The process was frustrating for him, but reassuring for Teresa. “I remember feeling assured that the school was taking it so seriously,” Teresa said. “I was impressed that everyone was following the protocol to a T, no one was pushing him.” Grayson kept his spot on the rugby team but quit playing football. Schoolwork and a part-time job were his primary reasons. But he watches the news, too. “I’ve definitely seen all of the stuff about CTE,” he said. “This opened my mind that it can happen to anyone.” More than a bell By their competitive nature, athletes tend to “walk it off ” when injured, but it’s not unheard of for coaches or parents to urge players back onto the field, court or ice too soon. Data on concussion risks and outcomes has been increasingly available over the last decade, but changing a culture can take generations. But Vidlock says it’s happening, and she’s seen the difference firsthand. Playing on her first-grade basketball team, Vidlock was concussed when a ball hit her in the face. Her coach’s response: “Get back on the court.” An atmosphere of “positive coach-

CONCUSSIONS: FACT VS. FICTION

Myths • A player knocked unconscious will suﬀer a worse concussion than a player who didn’t lose consciousness. Any contact that causes rapid movement of the head can cause a concussion. Minor collisions can be as serious as a blow that knocks out a player. In addition, several low impact blows may be more dangerous than a single collision of great force. • Male athletes sustain more concussions than females. Symptoms tend to be more physiological with males (loss of balance, clumsiness) and more psychological with females (fatigue, confusion) but injuries occur at comparable rates. • Concussions are the same for adults and adolescents. Adolescent brains are still developing, and concussions can have longer-lasting and more dramatic eﬀects when sustained by children or young adults.

Facts: • An athlete who has had one concussion is more likely to have another than an athlete who hasn’t been concussed. The threshold for sustaining a concussion is diminished once a player has had a single concussion. This makes it easier to suffer subsequent concussions, especially if a player suffers another concussion before fully recovering from a previous one. • Concussions should be treated and managed on an individual basis. All brains are different, so there is no one “right” way to treat concussions. Coaches and school staff should assess student athletes’ “baseline” for behavior and cognitive performance in order to recognize when they are not performing up to that level, as well as when the student has fully recovered and is back to normal following a concussion. • Whenever a student is suspected of having a concussion, it should be treated as one until proven otherwise. Symptoms can vary and aren’t always immediately apparent. If an athlete sustains a blow that looks like it may have caused a concussion, it should be assumed that the he or she has one.

ing” has replaced playing through the pain in the years since her own experience, and Vidlock said the coaches and staff members she works with look out for their players’ health. Students like Grayson may grow impatient waiting to return to their favorite activities, but nearly every parent Vidlock has worked with appreciates the process, she said.

Parents, school staff and students are now on the same page, Vidlock said. “Now there’s communication between physicians and trainers, school nurses and teachers and school psychologists and guidance counselors,” she said. “There used to be this feeling that it isn’t a concussion, they just ‘got their bell rung.’ Getting your bell rung is not a medical condition.”

As ongoing research shows the seriousness of concussions, many long-held notions about the condition are being dispelled. Here are some misconceptions and facts regarding concussions and treatment:

COMPLAINT FROM PAGE 4

The duplicate is in the process of removal, according to the secretary of state’s website. Moving forward, the secretary of state’s office of administrative courts will assign the complaint to an administrative law judge, who will set a hearing, which is typically within 15 days but can be extended for up to 30 days, if requested, according Julia Sunny, a spokeswoman from the secretary of state. “There is no set timeline for a ruling,” Sunny said in an email correspondence, “and the penalty is at the administrative law judge’s discretion, based on all the factors presented.” Still, Arnold is concerned with large sums of money from outside interest groups flooding into local school board elections in recent years, he said. “There is a massive amount of money being spent in these elections

— why?” said Arnold. “What are these groups trying to buy?” Douglas Schools for Douglas Kids did not return a request for comment. Committees and groups supportive of — but not affiliated with — candidates have injected more than half a million dollars into this year’s school board race, which culminates with the Nov. 7 election. Donations include hundreds of thousands of dollars by the national teachers’ union mentioned in the complaint and at least tens of thousands to a Republican committee that seeks to ensure conservative candidates are elected throughout the state. More than $168,000 has been contributed directly to candidates’ campaigns. Running against “commUNITY” candidates are four candidates known as the Elevate Douglas County slate. The race essentially is a four-on-four contest, with the stakes being the direction of a school district that since 2009 has been run by a board that has implemented a number of controversial reforms.

Winter Shelter Network again opens to women, children BY JULIE A. TAYLOR SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Starting this month, local churches will once again act as host to women and children in need of a place to stay. Run by 1,200 volunteers, the Winter Shelter Network, in its second year, rotates through 12 churches in Douglas County, providing meals, beds and safety. Last season, the program counted 1,249 “bed nights” — the equivalent to a head on a bed each night. The program lasts through March 31.

MORE INFORMATION Website: www.wintershelternetwork.com Email: wintershelternetwork@gmail.com Phone: 720-485-1008 On average, 12 people utilized this service every night last year, but sometimes as many as 20. Almost half of the guests are single moms with children. “I anticipate a larger number of guests this season as word has spread about our network,” said Erin White,

The shelter accepts women and children to locations in Castle Rock, Parker and unincorporated Douglas County, including Highlands Ranch, for up to 31 days. “My heart hurts when I think about the fact that my neighbors don’t have a safe and stable place to sleep at night, especially during our colder months,” White said. “We have the space and the resources at our local churches to provide rest, meals and connection to this vulnerable group of residents.” This year, the organization hired a

care coordinator to provide resources and support alongside the volunteers, plus they have joined a transportation program to help get guests to the different locations each night. Steve Kascht, a retired school administrator, co-leads the Parker United Methodist shelter every Wednesday. He said about a year ago at church, the pastor asked if anyone would like to help out, and a line of people formed. This location has 120 volunteers working on specific duties, such as set-up, laundry and security.

VOICES

We need to apologize for this sorry state of affairs

renda Lee’s comin’ on strong. I’m sorry, so sorry, please accept my apology. For what I said in the high school cafeteria to Dottie Danford. For what I said in the art building elevator at UCLA to Magenta O’Toole. For what I said at an art reception 30 years ago to one of my students. Apologies — almost all of them coming from men — are flying around like locusts. One begets

another out of someone else, out of someone else, out of someone else. The male animal isn’t looking so good right now. Men are apologizing for things they said or did when Truman was in office. Apologies in the moment count the most. Going back decades reminds me of the joke about the farmer’s new scarecrow. I’ll get to that. I am outspoken. I forgot to pick up my filter at the cleaners. It’s been there for about 10 years.

I am blunt, I blurt, I often don’t speak softly. Sometimes it’s called for. We tried a gelato for the first time. It comes in a twist-top container. The twist-top didn’t twist. I used jar openers on it, I tapped it with a spoon. Finally, I took a hammer to it, and loosened the top. I expressed myself to the home office down there in Texas. It’s almost impossible to say or write anything without offending someone somewhere.

I might have offended Brenda Lee for getting her involved in this. If that’s true, I’m sorry. Lee (1944) was the top-selling (solo) female vocalist in the 1960s. “Little Miss Dynamite” is 4 feet 9 inches. One of her hits, “Comin’ on Strong,” is referred to in Golden Earring’s song “Radar Love.” I’m sorry about all of these song references, but I can’t help myself. I am not going to mention youSEE SMITH, P13

Or you-know-whom, who used to perform comedy at the defunct Turn of the Century nightclub on East Hampden. There are crimes in all of this, and there are misdemeanors. Stepping on someone’s toes, physically or philosophically, happens all of the time to all of us. You’re having a bad day, and it shows up in a barbed comment to a co-worker. “Why did I say that?” I know someone who can be judgmental and you don’t even know it. I don’t know how she does it. She is tactfully doubtful, and tactfully critical.

The only thing I have going for me is humor. I try to throw a little humor into it whenever I complain. The lawn service wanted $136 an hour to clean up the leaves in my backyard. I told them what I could get for $136 an hour. Please use your imagination. Otherwise, I would have to apologize to my team, the organization, and the community. Here’s something I learned after the incident with the student. Don’t ruin a good apology with a bad excuse. If you are late, apologize for being late, and leave it at that. “The dog ate my car keys” implicates the dog, and then you have to apologize to the dog.

But what about the people we were “in-love” with? Are we still in love with them? Can we remember what being in love felt like and why we fell in love? If we still possess those feelings, that is awesome. Sometimes however, we forget too quickly or slowly, over time we can become complacent when it comes to those “in love” feelings. Maybe we don’t see it or feel it coming from the other person, or maybe we have stopped showing the same amount of “in love” feelings ourselves. What was it that we did yesterday and why and when did we slow down or stop? What has been the impact on our relationships? Whatever it is, let’s look now through new loving and re-energized eyes and hearts. The good news is that today, right now in the present, we can offer love to others. We can help others, love on others, bless others, hug others, listen to others and show our love and appreciation today and every day. Whatever we used to do, we should start doing again. Not just for the people we love in our lives, but also for the people we are “in love” with in our lives. Today we can look at the people whom we love and who love us, and we can look at that person whom we are “in love” with through the same eyes that we did and with the same heart we had yesterday. Today is a day that can and should be filled with love. Today and every day.

November 2, 2017N The better news is that tomorrow brings with it even more opportunities to love on our family and friends in new and creative ways. All of our tomorrows in life provide us with opportunities to grow deeper “in love” regardless of the brevity or length of our relationships. It is so wonderful to see new love and the energy and bright eyes of hope and wonder as couples look to the future. And it is maybe even more incredible to watch love, true love, in people who have been together for decades. The spark is still there, the eyes express deep love, hands are held, affection is shown, car doors are opened, flowers are given, and love abounds as they remember the love of yesterday, the power of love in the present, and the hope of love in all of the tomorrows that are yet to come. So how about you? When you think about all of the love in your life — past, present and future — and when you think about the feeling of being “in love,” does it give you a swoop in your heart and butterflies in your stomach? I hope so, and I would love to hear all about your love stories at gotonorton@gmail.com. Remember this, and please apply all of those things that love inspired yesterday, today and tomorrow. Because when we do, it really will be a better than good week.

Fatal home explosion leads state to propose tighter pipeline rules BY DAN ELLIOTT ASSOCIATED PRESS

Colorado energy regulators have proposed tighter rules for shutting down oil and gas pipelines after a fatal explosion blamed on natural gas leaking from a line that was thought to be out of service but was still connected to a well. The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission rules govern flow lines, which carry oil, gas and wastewater from wells to tanks and other gathering equipment. A public hearing is set for Dec. 11-12, and the commissioners could vote to approve the rules after that. The rules are in response to an April 17 explosion in Firestone that killed two people and destroyed a house. Investigators said the explosion was caused by odorless, unrefined gas leaking from a severed flow line. Investigators said the line was believed to be abandoned but was still connected to an operating well with the valve turned to the open position. The flow line was severed about 10 feet from the house, and gas seeped into the home’s basement, investigators said. The well and pipeline were in place years before the house was built.

Careers

The presence of homes and schools near oil and gas operations is a contentious issue in Colorado, where the booming Front Range urban corridor overlaps with an oil and gas field. The 14-page draft of new regulations says flow lines that are permanently taken out of service must be disconnected, drained and sealed at both ends, and any above-ground portion must be removed. The rules also allow energy companies to simply remove the lines. Bruce Baizel of the Oil and Gas Accountability Project, which advocates for environmental and community protections from energy development, said the rules should require energy companies to remove all abandoned flow lines to prevent explosions like the one in Firestone. Removing them would also prevent the leak of any chemicals left in the lines, he said. Dan Haley, president of the Colorado Oil and Gas Association, an industry group, said he hopes the new rules take into account the differences in energy company operations in the state. The Colorado Petroleum Council, another industry group, is still reviewing the rules and had no immediate comment, Executive Director Tracee Bentley said.

She prefers reading books and watching documentaries. “School is not my thing,” the 18-yearold said. “I felt like I was being shoved in a box.” When she told her parents she wanted to drop out of high school, they weren’t on board. Then she found Eagle Academy, an alternative afternoon and evening school that used to be housed at Highlands Ranch High School. As of late October, the school has its own space at the new Douglas County School District Opportunities Center, 9350 Teddy Lane, Lone Tree. “This place is an opportunity for people who didn’t fit that mold to grow and learn and better themselves,” Hunchar said at an Oct. 24 ribbon cutting ceremony. “I think it’s going to open a lot of doors for Eagle Academy.” The 27,5000-square-foot building, south of C-470 and west of I-25, will also house the school district’s Bridge Program, helping developmentally disabled students transition from high

school to adult life, and Early Childhood Center, offering developmental assessments for children from birth to 5 years old. First built in 2008, the facility served as a medical office. The school board voted 6-1 to purchase the building earlier this year. Board member Wendy Vogel voted against the move, citing concerns about funding, other capital needs in the district and the impact on nearby residents. More than 200 residents of Heritage Hills, which backs up to the building, were against the purchase due to traffic and noise concerns. The district and a team of architects, engineers and a contractor began a $2.3

renovation to the building in January 2017. Staff of the building’s three groups, as well as district leaders and city officials spoke at the ribbon cutting, calling it a success for the school district and the community. “It’s a wonderful achievement,” said state Rep. Kim Ransom, whose District 44 includes Lone Tree. “I’m very proud of what they have all accomplished.” The building combines the needs of three different user groups, according to the school district. Early Childhood Center will have a four-person Child Find team — it will be the fourth location in the county, with others in existing schools in Lone Tree, Castle Rock and Highlands Ranch — that provides free screenings and evaluations to Douglas County families to determine eligibility for services. Interim Superintendent Erin Kane said she utilized Child Find when her children were young. “It made all the difference in the world,” Kane said at the ribbon cutting ceremony. The Bridge Program offers living skills and pre-employment training to about 95 developmentally disabled adults. Baylee Ginther is in her second year in the program. The 19-year-old from Highlands Ranch went through Child Find and then attended Eldorado Elementary School, Ranch View Middle School and ThunderRidge High School.

ABOUT EAGLE ACADEMY Eagle Academy is a high school for students seeking an alternative path to earning a high school diploma, according to the Douglas County School District’s website. Classes are from 3:10 p.m. to 9:01 p.m. Monday through Thursday. The school promotes small classes, personalized instruction and a family atmosphere, according to the district’s website. Eagle Academy students must be employed and involved in either a vocational-training program or volunteer regularly. To be considered for Eagle Academy, students must be between the ages of 16 and 20 and have attempted at least one year of high school. For more information, visit www.dcsdk12.org/school/eagle-academy/about-us.

Ginther’s mom, Julie, was nervous about the opportunities offered to Ginther after high school, she said. Thanks to Bridge, Ginther will spend the next three years learning, cooking — one of her favorite activities — and helping out at businesses in the community. “It does my heart good to see the district values our students and the program,” Julie Ginther said. Eagle Academy, which currently has 125 students, will be able to accommodate 150 students at the new building. “Now,” said school board director Anne-Marie Lemieux, “you guys have a space to continue to flourish.”

‘Stop the Bleed’ class offers tools for helping Life-saving skills empower community to be first responders BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Theresa Carrol stood over a prosthetic wound as it spouted fake blood and quickly stuffed it with gauze. She was one of 60 community members learning how to pack wounds and apply pressure in emergency situations. “I don’t want to feel helpless in an emergency situation like Las Vegas,” said Carrol, a Westminster resident. “It affected me deeply.” Carrol said that with events like the mass shooting, which occurred in Las Vegas Oct. 1, and the 2012 mass shooting at the Century 16 movie theater in Aurora, she felt a need to be able to act. The “Stop the Bleed” class, taught by the St. Anthony Hospital Trauma Services on Oct. 19 at the Arvada Fire Training Center, was one of eight classes taught in the two weeks since the Las Vegas shooting. With incidents such as Las Vegas, the Orlando nightclub and the Aurora theater shootings, society has learned bystanders will always be first on the scene, no matter how rapid the arrival of professional emergency responders, said Robert Hayes, RN trauma injury prevention specialist for St. Anthony Hospital. Hayes said that since the Oct. 1 shooting, the community has been looking for ways to help. The Arvada class was the largest attendance of the Stop the Bleed class since the program

St. Anthony Hospital. “The number one preventable cause of deaths is bleeding.” But Hayes and Madayag both pointed out that life-threatening bleeds can occur for a variety of reasons. “Right now everyone is thinking about Vegas and what can occur with mass shootings and bombings, but these injuries can also occur when you’re hiking, cycling, at work or in a car accident.” Arvada resident Steve Camins wanted to learn the correct way to stop bleeding because he is active and also has four granddaughter. “You never know whats going to happen,” he said. “If something happens, I would like to be prepared to

Madayag, who taught the class, told attendees that if there was one takeaway from the night it would be “compression, compression, compression.” “Recognize the bleeding and hold pressure,” Madayag said, adding that the first things someone should do is call 9-1-1. “The purpose is to be a first responder before first responders get there.”

Tattered Cover event celebrates young adult authors, readers BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Young adult fiction is one of the most diverse and vibrant areas of fiction, with stories, characters and perspectives that run the gamut from the fantastic and dystopian to the painfully realistic and political. And as an author of young adult fiction, Len Vlahos, co-owner and CEO of the Tattered Cover Book Store, understands its power to connect with teens. That’s why he wanted to create an event where some of the best young adult authors could meet the readers they inspired. “One of the most gratifying things you can do as an author is meet a reader who was impacted by your work,” he said. “That’s what makes it all worth it.” The Tattered Cover’s

Denver Arts Week gathers cultural highlights from metro area

n any day of the week, you can find a unique cultural event happening in Denver and its surrounding cities. But for one week a year, cultural organizations all over put their best foot forward during Denver Arts Week. “The whole concept is to highlight the amazing arts and culture scene in the metro area,” said Ashley Taufen, communications manager with Visit COMING the tourism ATTRACTIONS Denver, organization for Denver. “Not only is the week an opportunity to spotlight the various arts districts, but it’s a chance to spotlight smaller galleries.” The 11th annual Denver Arts Week begins on Nov. 3 and Clarke Reader runs through Nov. 11. It features everything from free and low-cost events, to special exhibits and tours. The week kicks off with first Friday arts walks on Nov. 3 at art districts that include Belmar, the Golden Triangle, Tennyson Street and 40 West Arts. “One of our most unique events is on Saturday, Nov. 4, when Denver’s museums are open late and are free,” Taufen said. Participating museums are open from 5 to 10 p.m. Facilities like the Black American West Museum, Denver Botanic Gardens, Golden History Center, and Denver Museum of Nature and Science are all offering nights at the museum. “We even have a shuttle to take people to different spots that night, so visitors can see as many museums as possible.” Denver Arts Week is not the only a way to create a sense of community in the arts community, but it also highlights the fact that Denver is home to internationally recognized scenes, galleries and exhibitions. “Residents don’t really get to act like tourists in their home town all that often,” Taufen explained. “A lot of people don’t expect the quality they find here, and it’s not just one style of art. We have something for everybody.” For more information and event listings, visit www.denver.org/denverarts-week. Here are three recommended Denver Arts Week events to check out: SEE READER, P19

The group works to make the book store more teen-friendly, and arranges events like Harry Potter Parties. “Classic literature is expected to be read on its own, with little regard to author intent since we can’t contact them and ask them why they wrote what they did, but hearing an author speak about their book is a unique opportunity that is absolutely invaluable.” The keynote speakers at the event will be Maggie Stiefvater and David Leviathan, authors of “The Raven Cycle” and “Will Grayson,” respectively. Another top author who will be on hand is Jessica Brody, was has been writing professionally since 2006. “I love starting stories. Diving into new worlds with new characters who have a whole new set of problems to fix. That’s just the best,” she said. “Writing is just the way I communicate. I can’t express myself as well in spoken words.” Often, the young adult genre doesn’t receive the respect other genres do, but Vlahos said its an important step in growing the next generation of readers and writers. “By celebrating young adult authors and the people who read them, we ensure a future for Tattered Cover and places like it by demonstrating the value of the experiences they inspire,” Berry added. The best part, for authors, organizers and attendees is the sense of community that cons like this help foster. “When I write ‘the end’ of a book, I always remind myself that it’s not really finished. It’s only half finished. The book isn’t complete until someone reads it and adds their own experiences and interpretations to the text,” Brody said. “It’s pretty cool when you get to meet the people who are in charge of the other half of that process. “It’s sort of like meeting a lifelong pen pal for the first time. As excited as you are to meet some of your favorite authors, trust me, the authors are just as excited to meet you.”

Father-son duo share exhibit at museum Artists interact with each other through their work BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Art is making something that didn’t exist before,” artist Charles Parson says in a well-made video that plays continuously in the Sound Gallery at the Museum Outdoor Arts’ indoor gallery at Englewood Civic Center. The film’s an informative addition to a large collection of works, “Counterpoints,” by Charles and Collin Parson, father and son, which will run through Dec. 15. The artists, who both speak through geometric images, respond to each other’s work “in concept and format,” according to the MOA. “Each artist creates objects that remind viewers of the extraordinary possibilities intrinsic in common, often industrial materials, building on the structures of geometric forms underlying our world. An artistic bridge between the two generations, presenting an opportunity to harmonize and at times contrast today’s definitions of artistic expression.” Both love industrial materials. Charles, who started drawing at age 10, has a vision that is more traditional than that of his son. Charles speaks on the film of “the pleasure of showing together … the responsiveness to each other’s aesthetic.” Son Colin comments “sculptors need friends …” In addition to this gallery exhibit, they have eight related monumental sculptures at Westlands Park in Greenwood Village — through Aug. 9, 2018. Surfaces are mirrored acrylic and steel; polished steel; textured papers with drawings — often variations of a horizon; clear acrylic plastic in varied precise, sometimes textured, geometric forms. Many artworks are enhanced by colored LED lights, steady or pulsing — at times phasing into other colors. Works hang on gallery walls and rest on pedestals through the gallery. Aside from the changing lights, a restrained palette is limited to white, black, grays, blues, mirrored and clear plastics, which are at times etched. Silence is an element of the exhibit as well — at least when only a few adult visitors are present — although

one can imagine excited responses from younger art lovers, who will surely have a positive reaction to this visually stimulating collection — while dancing in front of the mirrors! Imagination takes one to some science-fiction world — far, far away. Except that Charles Parson’s subtle drawings resemble the mountain ranges we see from any elevated spot near home here. The acrylic covers give them distance. In the back corner gallery, each artist fills a wall with a single horizontal panel. Charles’ is “Diffused Boundary” mixed media, 2017. A drawing of a distant mountain range is mounted

under a large sheet of clear acrylic, secured with metal screws set in black plugs. The creamy paper is deckleedged, heavy. Collin’s large piece is named “ECHO, echo” 2017, and is made of mirrored acrylic and RGB LEDS. The pulsing lights shine through rows of graduated openings—in alternating cycles of reds, blues, greens, yellows. In the White Box Gallery, the visitor finds a few nicely lighted images of large pieces by each artist. Shadows are cast on the carpet, adding visual interest. “Sculpture is a drawing in space,” Charles Parson remarks in the Sound Gallery video. “I’ve found my process — that’s who I am … Collin and I have daily discussions. We both like graduating shapes …” The film shows both men in their studios. Charles has a big space for working with steel beams and other bulky items, while Collin sketches on his computer, “reaching out to fabricators” to execute his designs, because 20 inches by 30 inches is as large as Collin can create at home. The film shows him peeling plastic film off a big mirrored piece. “At 10 years old, I fell in love with light,” he said.

19th-century Paris saw brave women artists Impressionism bloomed in time and place dominated by men

“You had to go there!” said Suzanne Ramljak of the American Federation of Arts, which organized the show, “Her Paris: Women Artists in the Age of Impressionism,” now open through Jan. 14 at the Denver Art Museum.

One had to dress carefully and demurely. And admission to Ecole des Beaux Artes, the place to train, was closed to women, said exhibit curator, Laurence Madeline, who is chief curator for the French National Museums. “These artists had a passion to overcome obstacles,” she said. (Academie Julien did open to women and taught many of them.) Madeline has worked nine or ten years on this show, she said — pulling many works from museum storage, “from storage to light,” as well as from gallery walls. “There is much to still achieve,” she added as she speculated on next steps, “Much to do in order that women can achieve what women are and able to do.” “You’ve got a baby — spread its wings and fly,” said Angelica Daneo, the local exhibition curator and Denver Art Museum’s curator of painting and sculpture, who installed the exhibit, including more than 80 paintings by 37 professional woman artists

from Europe and America. They migrated to Paris to further their careers, overcoming genderbased limitations. “These were not women who painted as a pastime, not makers of ceramics and decorative arts, fans, etc.,” Daneo added. “They had a compelling story to say.” She quoted an early diarist: “To a woman who knows her own mind, men can be only a minor consideration.” Longtime museum docent Jacqui Kitzelman, of Littleton, has been among those training to conduct tours of this exhibition. They have heard about it from Angelica Daneo and from an expert interpretive specialist on the museum staff and were scheduled for a walk-through on Oct. 20. “Each of us figures out how to tour visitors from age 5 to 105, kindergarten to early Alzheimer’s …” she says. It’s really rewarding for a woman who has spent her career in arts management. And “as long as I can walk out of here with a smile on my face, I’ll continue,” she says. There have been mandatory reading assignments (tricky to find, since the docent’s library was moved) and access to the website, labels, pictures and wall text. When we spoke with Kitzelman some time ago, there were 70 docents and their number has increased to almost 200. “We just trained 50 new ones,” she said — needed as museum attendance grows steadily. This exhibit should attract real crowds. Madeline added a historic note: “Napoleon allowed more freedom for women just before this period — women could earn their own way.” Included in the exhibit: American Mary Cassatt, French women Berthe Morisot and Rosa Bonheur, Dane Anna Archer and German Paula Modrersohn-Becker. Many paintings included stories of the artists’ lives and friends: painting together, seated with an instructor in a sunny park, enjoying tea, interiors, modern landscapes, strolling, with children — and there are a number of

portraits of woman artists by other woman artists (looking businesslike, versus in the pretty white dress). They asserted their roles in the art world. Women couldn’t attend the Ecole des Beaux Artes until quite late in the period when Paris was the art mecca and by then, it wasn’t nearly LTAC_CCM_10.13.17.pdf 10/13/2017 1:02:48 PM as good, nor so much in1demand, Madeline said. Famous artists such

as Monet left. “We are just with very good artists,” Madeline concluded, again emphasizing the quality of painting. Allow time to look at details when you visit. The exhibit will next move to the Speed Art Museum in Louisville, Kentucky, and the Clark Art Museum in Williamstown, Massachusetts.

ADONIS PUENTES VIEW FROM ABOVE AND THE VOICE OF WITH TERRY VIRTS CUBA ORCHESTRA NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC LIVE:

FRIDAY, OCT. 20, 2017 | 10 AM & 8 PM

FRIDAY, NOV. 3, 2017 | 8:00 PM

Astronaut Terry Virts installed the Cupola module on the International Space Station (ISS), granting an unprecedented 360-degree view from the station. When he later became the commander of the ISS, he made good use of the Cupola, taking more photographs than any astronaut who came before him.

Adonis Puentes’ rich, soulful voice is the perfect front for his all-acoustic orchestra, layering traditional Cuban rhythms with deep bass lines, jazzy horns, and his melodic guitar. A Grammynominated vocalist and composer from Cuba who weaves passionate, hypnotic Salsa and Cuban Son melodies through jazz arrangements, Puentes and the Orchestra create a worldly experience that is as emotive as it is danceable.

National effort is a novel approach to writing November is National Novel Writing Month, bringing sense of community and discipline BY KIM HIGHTOWER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

A frustrated writer with a book in mind, Sherry Duff kept getting into lulls on her progress. “I was inspired at first. Then you get this lull because real life happened,” Duff said. “In the lull, I let everything else get in the way of my writing.” Then, in November 2015, she heard about NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, and decided to participate. Today, the Parker resident is a published author, the writer of “Rule #9,” a story about blended families. She’s also the vice president of the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers group. Writing needs to be given an important place in your daily life, she said. “You have to decide how important to make it,” Duff said. “If I really want to be a writer, I have to make it important. It takes 30 days to make a habit and you’ve got 30 days of creating a habit of ‘I’m going to write every day.’ I’ve got the whole month of November to help me form a good habit.”

Anythink Library’s Teen Librarian Jonah Vallez said he might be the most excited staff member about the library’s offerings in November for National Novel Writing Month: “I tend to think this will be fantastic,” he said. NaNoWriMo, as it’s been nicknamed, is a worldwide approach to creative writing. As the official nanowrimo.org website states, participants work toward the goal of writing a 50,000-word novel during the month of November. According to the website, NaNoWriMo provides the structure, community and encouragement to help people find

their voices, achieve creative goals and build new worlds — on and off the page. “I did it to get my butt in the seat and as a bonding thing with my niece because it was something she could participate in,” said Duff. The movement started in 1999 and National Novel Writing Month became a full-fledged nonprofit in 2005.

Per the website, the goal is to write a novel and track your progress, getting pep talks and support and meeting fellow writers online and in person. Worldwide word counts are tracked on the nanowrimo.org website. Last year, 384,126 participants, including 71,229 students and educators, participated. Of these, more than 34,000 met the goal of writing 50,000 words. This year, NaNoWriMo expects over 400,000 participants. SEE WRITING, P29

Event on Nov. 17 to help boost cancer research Founding mayor of Castle Pines launched organization STAFF REPORT

Cancer survivor Sean Swarner will share his story of reaching the top of Mount Everest — with one lung — at the upcoming Wings of Hope for Pancreatic Cancer Research event Nov. 17. When he was in his teens, Swarner was diagnosed with two near-fatal forms of cancer — an unusual com-

bination of Hodgkin’s lymphoma and the unrelated and rarer Askin’s bone cancer. Given three months to live, Swarner survived the first cancer only to be diagnosed with Askin’s three years later, with a prognosis of 14 days to live. Enduring chemotherapy and radiation treatments so severe that one of his lungs was destroyed, Swarner’s grit and determination astounded not only the medical community but all who heard his story of reaching the summit of Everest. In addition to summiting Everest with one functioning lung, Swarner has also completed the 7-Summit Tour, which entails climbing the

highest mountain peak on each of the seven continents. “Sean’s inspiring message of hope will resonate with everyone, regardless of what challenges they are going through,” said Maureen Shul, Castle Pines founding mayor. “Not only will it be inspiring to hear Sean’s story, but every dollar raised from this event goes directly toward raising awareness and funding for pancreatic cancer research at the CU Cancer Center.” The Evening of Hope and Inspiration begins at 6 p.m. Nov. 17 at the Anschutz Medical Campus, 13121 E. 17th Ave., Aurora. The event includes hors d’oeuvres, drinks and silent and

live auctions. Wings of Hope for Pancreatic Cancer Research is a nonprofit foundation dedicated to raising awareness and funding for pancreatic cancer research at the University of Colorado Cancer Center. It was founded in 2012 by Shul after she lost her brother and mother to pancreatic cancer within months of each other. Earlier this year, Wings of Hope awarded three $50,000 grants to teams of physicians and researchers at the University of Colorado Cancer Center specifically for pancreatic cancer research projects.

Vivian Franklin, left, pulls a cutout from a sheet of metal being cut as her daughter Cassie and Cassie’s boyfriend Doug Hancock look over specifications for the pieces he’s finishing. The family works together every Sunday in their shop in Watkins, making custom art pieces, window well covers and other furnishings.

Family business forged by fire Two generations work steel in Watkins for Parker shop BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In 2008, when Chris Franklin told his wife, Vivian, he wanted to buy a plasma steel cutter and go into business making custom metal artwork, she didn’t approve. He bought the enormous, costly device anyway, and showed her his work. “He had cut a circle, a square and a line,” she says with a smirk. “So I learned how to use it, and it actually was a lot of fun.” One sleepless night she decided to tinker with the device and cut a clock face with a flatbed engine design, and she was hooked. “I’m crafty, I like crocheting and doing other crafts and playing piano. I didn’t think I’d like working with metal,” Vivian says. But “I get to be creative and it’s exciting to see the finished product.” The Franklins, their daughter Cassie, and Cassie’s boyfriend, Doug Hancock, all live and work together at their home and metal shop in Watkins, just south of Denver International Airport, making custom pieces of steel art to sell at their store, Cassteen Ironworks, at 10941 S. Parker Road. Chris spends this Sunday making deliveries while Vivian cuts outlines of elk, birds and trees into a six-by-four-foot sheet

Doug Hancock uses a blowtorch for “bluing” a piece of steel artwork. The process protects the metal from rust and gives the piece a blue-black finish. PHOTOS BY TOM SKELLEY

A pile of discarded and extra pieces of steel reveals a tenet at the core of the Franklins’ business. Cassie Franklin calls the discarded pieces “giblets.” of metal, and Hancock grinds, torches and polishes the pieces she’s prepared for him. Cassie goes between the two to make sure everyone’s on the same page, while her sons, Luke, 10 and Giovanni, 7, play outside. Finding time to design and finish orders is a challenge. Vivian and Hancock both work other jobs full time during the week while Cassie and Chris man the store Monday through Saturday. But they love what they do, even if it took some convincing to get Vivian on board at first. “She didn’t want to do it, but she did it anyway because she loves me,” Chris says. “Now she does it because she loves it.” For more information on Cassteen Ironworks, visit their webpage at metalartcolorado.com.

WRITING FROM PAGE 22

As a nationwide event, many local groups are participating by creating their own events to inspire local writers of all ages. Anythink Libraries has planned a variety of NaNoWriMo events at their Brighton location. Jonah Vallez, teen librarian for Brighton’s Anythink, said library staff saw the need among their patrons. “We could hear people saying they were working on books and screenplays,” Vallez said. “We recognized we have writers in the community who need our services. It’s more of a community thing than just a simple writing program. It really got us excited for what an opportunity this could be.” The library has devoted eight sessions in November to novel writing tips. “We’ve adapted two of our nights (each week) to NaNoWriMo-dedicated nights,” Vallez said. “We’re very excited. I’m the more excitable one because I tend to think this will be fantastic. We are encouraging our staff to participate and write, as well.” The support makes the act of writing less daunting, Vallez said. “It’s important because I feel like there

are opportunities for the writers in Brighton to have a platform in the community,” Vallez said. “One thing that’s a huge component is it’s a demystification of writing a book. There’s a process to it and anyone can do it. Giving everyone that opportunity feels really good and it’s important it all of us.” The library looked for the best tips for stuck writers and built their seminars around them. “We brainstormed the essentials to get a book done and then created a list of what would be fun to take you to the next steps on your book or story idea,” Vallez said. Duff said the daily effort to keep up was her best motivator. “For me, it’s that word count goal,” Duff said. “It’s that goal that is a deadline. If I have a deadline, I move. The hard part about writing is that if it’s not about work, it’s not important.” No matter what, just writing is what matters. “Just do it. Put your butt in the seat and write,” Duff said. “Put your fingers on the keyboard and write. Just write. Don’t be hard on yourself. Just write. It’s a first draft book. You’ve got to start somewhere. Write from your heart. Surround yourself with writers. NaNo is a great place to start if you haven’t written yet.”

A real gem for area equestrians Elizabeth native repairs gear and makes new products by hand BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The smells of coffee and leather fill the air when visitors stop by the Wildflower Saddles and Tack shop at 122 Main St. in Elizabeth, where they are greeted by owner Tom Knowles plus a possible purr from General Sterling Price the cat. “I come here every day to open the shop, make coffee and feed General Sterling Price,” Knowles said with a smile. “After that I might get a little work done making new tack and possibly repairing or restoring a saddle or two.” Knowles has a lifetime of experience with saddles and tack. He said he learned to ride horses almost as soon as he could walk and worked cattle a good portion of his life. “I worked cattle on the hoof for a lot of years. I have been working with their hides since we opened the shop in 1986,” he said. “I like to work with leather and make tack items like reins, bridles, cinches and other items. “I also love saddles. I repair them for customers and I also have a large collection of saddles, some dating back to the late 1800s as well as some that are fairly new. I guess the shop has become sort of a saddle museum.” As he talked he used a straight edge and knife to cut a blank for reins from the tanned leather he had stretched out on the counter. He said there are still a lot of people living in the area around Elizabeth who have horses, and they need a tack shop like Wildflower to repair saddles and gear and as a place to buy new tack items. “I think this is the only shop like this around the area that does repairs on saddles and tack,” he said. “I know big stores have new items for sale, but I don’t know of another shop close to here that does repairs like we do.” The 71-year-old was born on a ranch between Kiowa and Elizabeth and became a cowboy at a young age. “When I was a boy the family moved to ranch in the Montrose area,” he said. “I learned to ride and work cattle very young. I was about 12 when mom and dad broke up. I decided to go out on my own so I packed a few clothes, saddled my horse, took my dog and left home. I hired out to work cattle then and grew up that way.” He said he and his dad later reunited and worked together raising horses in the mountains. He graduated from Steamboat Springs High School and went to college for a year. “During that time I worked cattle and horses at area ranches and I also competed in area rodeos in bareback, saddle bronc and bull riding,” he said. “Things changes for me in 1967 when I got that wonderful letter from Uncle Sam telling me I had been drafted into the Army.” He was trained in artillery target

Tom Knowles talks about one of the saddles he has in his collection at his business, Wildflower Saddles and Tack Shop in Elizabeth. Knowles restores and repairs saddles and over the years he has assembled a collection that includes some fairly modern saddles as well as some that date to the 1800s.

Knowles talks about some of the new tack items he stocks in his store. Knowles makes most of the new items on display and he can restore or repair saddles for customers. Knowles uses tools to make the reins used to control a horse in the Wildflower Saddles and Tack Shop. Knowles, 71, worked cattle from a young age and said he still occasionally gets in the saddle to help a local rancher during roundup. PHOTOS BY TOM MUNDS acquisition and was in Vietnam in 1986 and 1969. “My Army training prepared me to attend School of Mines so I could work as a surveyor,” he said. “I did that but I also helped out ranchers I knew when they needed an extra hand for a short time.” He was married in 1970 and in the 1980s he and his wife worked on a ranch near Kiowa. “We decided to needed to do something to make a living when we left ranching so we opened this shop in ‘86,” Knowles said. “My son Tad worked here with me for a while.” Tad Knowles said he learned about

saddles and working leather from his dad. “I helped dad in the shop because I was too lazy to work and too scared to steal,” he said with a smile in his voice. “I learned how to repair tack and saddles from Dad. I also found I had a knack for creating custom saddles and it became my passion.” He said he eventually moved to Kiowa because there wasn’t enough room in Elizabeth for his work. “I do custom work. I talk with the customer and I try to tool the leather to create the designs and appearance they want on the saddle,” he said. “I spend a lot of time on a project and it

takes me about 200 hours to do an all the work on a special custom saddle.” His dad said he is proud of his son. “Tad is an artist,” Tom said. “His work is amazing.” The 71-year-old said he plans to continue to operate the shop as long as he can. “I enjoy working with leather and I like it that I can repair a favorite saddle for a customer,” he said. “But I don’t spend all my time in the shop. Working with saddles and tack you meet people who work cattle and, if they need a hand with roundup or branding, I pitch in and lend a hand because I am still pretty good at working cattle.”

ssac Power gave up kicking a soccer ball when he was a freshman at Ponderosa. Instead, he started booting a football. Power is now one of the best punters, kickoff specialists and placekickers in the state as a senior and will be a punter in the Jan. 6 U.S. Army All AmeriOVERTIME can high school game in San Antonio. “I did soccer for 10 years or so and my Dad said enough, play football,” recalled Power who admits he likes putting best. “I guess I just liked it. I can’t kick a soccer ball Jim Benton now to save my life but I can kick a football better. My foot just naturally likes it more. “It wasn’t soccer that got me my strength because we used to go hiking all the time. That’s where my strength came from. And I’m very flexible. But soccer is always a good background to have for kicking.” Power missed his sophomore season because of an ACL knee injury to his kicking leg but worked hard and is rated as the fourth best punter in the class of 2018, according to kicking expert Chris Sailer. “Issac in my opinion has been the best kickoff specialist in the state for two years and probably the best field goals kicker and punter in the state,” said Ponderosa coach Jaron Cohen. “He can handle all three — kickoffs, field goals and punting. He is 6-foot-2, 180. He’s not a small kid. He has a big leg and big frame. Clearly he’s a pretty special talent.” In statistics through eight games, Power is averaging 40.2 on 19 punts, with 10 landing inside the 20-yard line. He had made eight of 11 field goals, R including a 58-yarder, and is averaging 60 yards on 54 kickoffs with 51 touchdowns. Power, who admits he has worked more on placekicking than punting, describes himself as a kicker and punter and didn’t have much trouble adjusting C to the pressure of onrushing football 1 defenders. “I just see the ball,” he said. “That’s all I’m looking at and just tune everything out.” Power was surprised by the attention shown him by big-time colleges. I Schools like Alabama, LSU and Colora- 2 do were interested but he has committed to kick for Baylor. He recalls how his dad was concerned about paying for his college education. “I’d say don’t worry, I’m going to college for free,” said Power. “And lo and SEE BENTON, P38

Rock Canyon runners finish strong at state meet BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Chris Theodore and Easton Allred were a big part of the success of the Rock Canyon boys cross country team, but coach Dan Davies knew something else was needed. Theodore finished second in the Class 5A boys state cross country championships Oct. 28 at the Norris-Penrose Event Center in Colorado Springs. He was timed in 15:42.1, while Allred, his sophomore teammate, ran a 15:56.5 to finish fifth as the Jaguars were the runners-up to state champion Mountain Vista in the team standings. “We’ve had that one-two punch all year and they really kind of set the table for us,” Davies said. “Our three four and five runners came in together. It was really huge when they came in together. “At the beginning of the year we knew our Achilles’ heel was our fifth runner. We needed a fifth man. Wes Beckman really stepped up for us and he’s only a sophomore.” AJ Bishop came in 20th, Beckman 21st and Derek Fearson 22nd but the Jaguars still finished 18 points behind Mountain Vista in the team race. “Mountain Vista’s boys team is phenomenal,” Davies said. “Their depth is phenomenal. We got them once at the Liberty Bell when we ran our best race of the year by far. We knew we poked the bear.” Rock Canyon’s girls team, led by a third-place finish by sophomore Hope James, was third behind Broomfield and state champion Mountain Vista. “We had our greatest girls finish ever, third on the girls side,” Davies said. “Previous to this was fifth. But what happens we are in the same league and region as Mountain Vista.” Other top individual finishers from the area were senior Lina Corrales of Douglas County, who was 12th in the girls race, and Castle View’s Erin Kraus, who placed 68th. Douglas County senior Brock Helvey was 40th in the boys race. In Class 4A, Valor Christian sophomore Cole Sprout finished 18 seconds ahead of the second-place runner in the boys race and set a new course record of 15:42.1, snapping the previous standard of 15:50.4.

On campus: Castle View • The volleyball team (19-4) was seeded third in the Class 5A regional state pairings and will host the Region 3 tournament on Nov. 4. The other two teams in the tourney are Lakewood and Broomfield and the winner of each of the 12 regional events will advance to the Nov. 10-11 state tournament at the Denver Coliseum. • The Sabercats football team won the season opener against Douglas County but lost the next eight games. Castle View hopes to wrap up the season with a win Nov. 2 against Rangeview. However, it won’t be easy if history prevails, as Castle View lost last season’s game against the Aurora school, 21-6.

Douglas County • Senior Linda Corrales was 12th in the Class 5A girls race at the state cross country championships on Oct. 28. Her time was 18:47.2. Senior Brock Helvey was 40th in the boys race with a time of 16:40.7. • The volleyball team (10-13) drew a No. 32 seed in the Class 5A regional volleyball pairings and will go against Fruita Monument and Fairview in the Region 5 qualifying tournament. • Aurora Central is the Nov. 3 opponent for the football team (2-7 overall) and the Huskies are hoping to repeat a victory over the Trojans. Douglas County won last year’s game, 27-6.

Lutheran • The volleyball team, the No. 2 seed in the Class 3A state playoffs, will host the Region 2 qualifying tournament, which includes Bayfield and Florence. The Lions (20-3) have had previous playoff success compiling, a 40-16 record. • There should be plenty of passing when the football team meets Green Mountain in a 3A West Metro League finale on Nov. 3. The game features the league’s top two passers in Lutheran’s junior Nick

News and notes from local high school sports programs Moss and Green Mountain’s Trey Towndrow. Moss is averaging a league-best 193.2 yards per game passing and he has the league’s top receiver in sophomore Andre Norman, who is averaging 122.4 receiving yards per game.

Rock Canyon • The volleyball team (16-7) is seeded 10th in the Class 5A regional pairings and will host Rampart and Grandview on Nov. 4 in the Region 10 tournament that will qualify one team for the state tournament. • Junior Collin Romero will be out to finish the regular season strong when the football team plays Mountain Vista on Nov. 3. Romero is one of the Mount Evans League leaders with 419 receiving yards and 26 catches, for an average of 16.1 yards a catch. He has 435 returns yards, with 229 coming of kickoff returns and 206 on punt returns. • The third-place ﬁnish in the Class 5A cross country championships on Oct. 28 was the best ever for the girls team. Sophomore Hope James led the Jaguars with a 13th-place finish and there were two freshmen, a sophomore and junior among the runners that counted in the scoring.

Valor Christian • Sophomore Cole Sprout left little doubt he was the top Class 4A boys runner at the state cross country championships on Oct. 28 as he set a course record of 15:42.1 and was 14 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher. • The volleyball team (18-5) is seeded second in the Class 4A pairings and will host the Region 2 qualifying tournament Nov. 4 with Mountain View and George Washington the other two teams vying for the one state tournament ticket up for grabs. • The undefeated football team has clinched the Mount Lincoln league championship and will face Fountain Fort Carson on Nov. 3 in the regular-season finale. The Eagles have outscored league opponents 43.7 to 11.7 points per game and last season beat Fountain Fort Carson, 45-0.

Athletes strive to get up to speed Explosiveness cited as key attribute for athletes across multiple sports BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Speed never takes a day off, goes the adage. “Speed is any sport is very, very important because it’s hard to teach speed,” Cherry Creek soccer coach Chelo Curi said. The ability to move fast is important in almost all athletic endeavors — and it’s not always just foot speed. In fall high school sports, explosiveness and quickness are at least as important. “Speed is important but not the most critical thing,” Valor Christian football coach Rod Sherman said. “I always say explosiveness is the most critical (attribute) for an athlete. At the end of the day, it’s great to have some kids that run 4.5 (seconds) in the 40-yard dash, but you don’t have that many opportunities for a 4.5 40 to come out in the game of football. It’s much more important to be explosive, make a play in a short space.” Scott Dowis, volleyball coach at Castle View, agrees with Sherman. “Speed and quickness are important, but the most important physi-

cal skill is explosiveness,” Dowis said. “The volleyball court is pretty small when there are six players on it in the indoor game. Most of the movement either to the ball defensively and blocking or attacking is quick explosive movements.” Arapahoe golf coach Harry Buckner said hand speed makes a big difference on the links. “Many golfers can’t run fast but hand speed and club speed can be developed,” he said. “Distance in golf is related to hand speed.” In softball, Alameda set a single season record in 2017 with 180 stolen bases, and coach Tom Dillingham echoed the motto about speed being a constant factor. “Speed is important on both offense and defense,” he said. “Speed, explosiveness and timing is the key to stealing bases.” Foot speed, quickness and explosiveness can be enhanced — which goes against another age-old adage that speed can’t be improved, that one is born with it. Allison Skufca, who works for Landow Performance in Centennial, aids athletes of all ages to advance their speed. “That’s what we do,” she said. “We focus more on teaching mechanics, the mechanics of different running stages. You have acceleration and top-end speed. Then, all of our weight room stuff like our lifting gets them stronger and more explo-

sive, which helps with that. “It really takes two months for an athlete to really start to notice the difference. They will notice the little stuff as they adapt to the training, but a good eight to 12 weeks is when they will really start to notice.” High school coaches, too, have their own ways of enriching speed. “Quick, short running spurts will improve it because it adds to the burst and the first three steps,” Curi said. For many athletes, speed and explosiveness training are done both at and outside of school. “We are lucky at Castle View to have a great strength (program) staffed by Patrick McHenry,” Dowis said. “He and his staff work our players three days a week during the summer to get them stronger and more explosive. We also have players who work with other SAQ (strength, agility, quickness) coaches throughout the year through their clubs or independently.” To Sherman, the most important period for improving explosiveness is the off-season. “Once you can get into season, you can improve a little bit but it’s what you do out of season,” Sherman said. “Using the weight room to build the base of explosiveness and you can use the field to train and to funnel that into on field explosiveness.”

Alameda’s Lizabeth Garcia (9) tried to beat an Englewood player to a loose ball during a league game in 2015. Garcia won control of the ball and helped Alameda to mount an attack. TOM MUNDS

behold, it actually happened. There’s no way I thought I’d ever be this good.” It’s a small world No, I haven’t been to Disneyland or Disney World recently, but it is sometimes a small world. I met Gabe Trujillo, who is the director of athletics/activities and human resources for the Westminster Public Schools district. Turns out that Trujillo was a three-sport athlete at Lincoln High

School, where I attended years before Trujillo. He knew a few of the same teachers and coaches that I knew. Trujillo, who played basketball at Western State and Metro and has been employed as a coach and high school administrator for years, now has a big job. He is the AD for a district with one high school and he wants to get Westminster High School competitive again. His game plan is improved scheduling, which could be helped at least in football with the new league alignments for the next two-year cycle. And he wants to enhance program development in all sports with off season training and promotion.

Unbalanced schedule If anyone needs reinforcement about the need to change the current Class 5A football league alignments for the next two-year cycle, a glance at the first-place teams or schools that were tied in the current seven leagues makes the point. In the first three league games, league-leading teams averaged 40.3 points while holding other teams to 11.6 points a game.
