A day in the life The school district has three bus terminals — one in Highlands Ranch, one in Parker and one in Castle Rock. Each terminal is responsible for about 150 routes and the district as a whole covers about 900 square miles, according to Donnna Grattino, the school district’s director of transportation. After retrieving their route book and keys, each driver will perform pre-trip inspection of their vehicle, checking brakes, lights, safety and fire equipment and the mechanics of the vehicle such as gasoline and fluid levels. “If it’s a small quick fix, like a lightbulb

King’s route includes Castle View High School, Castle Rock Middle School and Soaring Rock and Clear Sky elementary schools. “If you’re not a new driver, you start out with your route from the previous year,” King said. “If you like your route and want to keep it, you can do that. If a route opens up and you want to bid for it, then it’s a management decision on whether to move you or not.” By 9 a.m., most drivers have completed Buses continues on Page 9

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
BINA BARSTAD
Student, future teacher My background I’ve lived in Castle Rock my whole life. I grew up here. I’m from a big family. I’m a concurrentenrollment student, so I’m currently going to Arapahoe Community College and the credits count for both high school and college. It’s a really nice program, though Colorado Early Colleges, which is a new up-and-coming charter program. So, that’s pretty fun. I work at Lost Coffee, which is tons of fun. Why concurrent enrollment It’s a good way to push yourself. It’s a good opportunity for kids who really want to learn. It
keeps you motivated because you are with kids who want to get things accomplished too. My goals Hope to get an English degree. I turn 18 in September, and I should have my English degree by the time I’m 20. I’ll have my full bachelor’s and go on for a master’s from there. Aspirations after college Teaching, for sure. My dad’s a teacher, so I know how it goes. I know grading sucks and you don’t make nearly enough, but I like the idea of being able to give more to other people than just simple stuff. I guess education to me is just super important. I feel like you can be poor, but as long as you have an education, you’re rich. Being able to give that mindset to people, whereas, I feel like our economy is changing a lot… but no one will be able to take my education away from me. Hobbies I like to write. I’m not a very good writer, but it’s something I do in my spare time. I read a lot. I’m one of those kids; I have books with me all the time. By Shanna Fortier.

Changes could be coming to the Castle Rock election process. The town took an initial step in calling a special election to coordinate with the county election scheduled for Nov. 3. It is considered a special election for the town because regular elections are held in April. Castle Rock approved several ballot questions on first reading Aug. 4 for a November special election, in which voters will be asked about aligning the town’s elections with those of the county as well as several questions regarding referendum petitions. Council has proposed to change the town’s elections from April to November of even-numbered years beginning in 2016. Changing the election dates would require several modifications to other parts of the town charter to ensure everything is in alignment. “If we’re going to skip the April (2016) election, then we need to extend the mayor and other terms to coincide in November when the successors will be elected,” Castle Rock Town Attorney Bob Slentz said. Council voted 4-1 to approve the change in date. Councilmembers Brett Ford and Renee Valentine were absent from the meeting. Councilmember Mark Heath opposed moving the election date. “A lot of people in my district would like to keep the April date,
therefore, I will be voting no on this one and that’s why — for the individuality of our own elections throughout Castle Rock instead of lumping us all together with a national election,” Heath said. Councilmember George Teal also said he has heard some concerns from his constituents about moving the date of town elections but voted yes in order to allow the people of the town to decide for themselves. “I don’t have a clear majority one way or another,” Teal said. “I say this is worthy and appropriate to open up to the people.” The other proposed changes include: • Publishing public notices online instead of in the local newspaper. • Changing the window of time in which petitioners challenging or proposing a town ordinance can withdraw a petition. • Creating a legal process for voters to withdraw their name from a petition before it is filed with the town clerk. • Increasing the percentage of signatures required for a referendum to 10 percent. (A referendum is a voterdriven challenge of an ordinance approved by town council.) • Increasing the percentage of signatures required for an initiative to 15 percent Castle Rock is a home-rule municipality, which means the foundation of the local government is outlined in the town charter. Any changes to the charter — such as the timing of elections — must be approved by voters. Town council holds two public hearings to approve an ordinance or election. The first of those hearings was Aug. 4. The second is scheduled for Aug. 18.

Chef Jeff Richard, of Old Stone Church Restaurant and Crave Real Burgers, will defend his title this year during the cooking competition at the 13th annual Taste of Douglas County. Last year was the first year the contest was added to the event, pitting six area chefs against each other. Adding the contest was one way that event organizers Mike Boyle and John De Lay have tweaked the event over the years. “For the first competition, it was good, but the plates looked a little boring,” Boyle said while sitting at a table in the Pegasus Restaurant in Castle Rock. This year’s taste will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Aug. 20 at the Douglas County Events Center. The cooking contest has been bumped from six to eight competitors, allowing the chefs to prepare any dish they desire and present it in the same way. While the competition is sure to be fierce, this is not an “Iron Chef.” Chefs are permitted to bring any ingredient and prepare any dish. Among others, Richard will be competing against Dan Skay, of Manna Restaurant at Castle Rock

The first event hosted tastes from 25 eateries and drew more than 2,500 people. The attendance exceeded expectations — so much so, restaurants were running out of food.

Youths win big at livestock sale Grand Champion steer sells for $11,000
By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com As the crowd of perspective livestock buyers sits down in the bleachers around the show ring to enjoy their presale barbecue, the junior 4-H members comb the crowd. Armed with business cards that give information on their animals and all the cuteness they can muster, the children make their pitches. “I cleaned his pen five times a day,” one girl says of her hog. “He’s big in all the right places — all hams and bacon.” “This is my first year, but you can’t go wrong with him,” a boy explains in an attempt to find a taker for his goat. Milan Hunter, of Roxborough, puts on her biggest smile as she talks up her steer. “His name is Elmer. He’s a show steer and he weighed in this week at 1,224 pounds,” Hunter said. “I would love like four grand from him, but we’ll see how much I get.” Soon the auctioneer calls the festivities to a start. One by one, the 4-H members line up with the animals they raised, anxiously waiting their turn to takes a lap around the show ring. While the animals are being shown, the auctioneer accepts bids from the crowd until a highest bidder is found for each animal. Many of the animals in the Junior Livestock Sale sell for well above market value, with most buyers looking at the event as a donation. Some 550 children with 4-H projects entered this year’s stock show. The largest group is poultry (more than 400 entries), then sheep and then swine. However, its beef that’s brings in the biggest prices.
Addison McWhorter, 9, of Franktown, leads her steer Sven around the show ring during the Junior Livestock Sale Aug. 7 at the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo. Photos by Mike DiFerdinando This year’s Grand Champion beef was raised by Maguire Rohr and weighed in at 1,297 pounds and sold for $11,000. The Douglas County commissioners sat in the front row for the sale. They purchased the Reserve Champion turkey raised by T.J. Vaughan for $1,500. “This is one of my favorite days of the whole year,” Commissioner Roger Partridge said. “It’s so exciting to see all the kids and how much they put into rais-

ing these animals. For a lot of them it is a family tradition. They really raise these animals the right way. They put in the hard work.” One Junior 4-H member who was continuing the family tradition was 9-yearold Addison McWhorter, a Franktown Elementary student who was showing animals at the fair for the first time. She raised two steers, Sven and Olaf. The larger of the two, Sven, sold for $5,500. McWhorter’s parents, Shawn and Amy, grew up showing animals at the fair. Addison was hoping to keep at least $30, and the rest of the money “is going in the bank for my college.”

Vic Ahmed, chairman and chief executive officer for Innovation Pavilion, said the program involves bringing in industry experts to work alongside those who need help launching their business. It also encourages partnerships among the entrepreneurs, who would all be based in the same building. Innovation Pavilion has already been in discussions with regional business leaders, including the Denver South Economic Development Partnership, and has excited local officials who have been seeking a way to bring more job opportunities to Parker and help home-based businesses establish storefronts and expand employee bases.
Destination downtown?
Improving the daytime economy, helping to develop small businesses and attracting primary employers have long been focal points for the Town of Parker, which formed its own economic development department in 2012. Mayor Mike Waid said although discussions are in preliminary stages, Innovation Pavilion is an ideal fit for downtown Parker, and possibly land that the town purchased in March 2014 at Mainstreet and the eastern portion of Victorian Drive. The injection of professionals could have a major impact on the area. “The chances of us getting a business with 100 employees… they’re hard to find,” Waid said. “But legitimately, could we get 20 businesses with five employees? Absolutely. That’s what this concept brings to us.” Innovation Pavilion will offer classes to satisfy the demand among entrepreneurs who need training but don’t want to accumulate school debt. The average person changes career fields multiple times in their life and corporations are no longer investing in training employees who might not stay with the company for long.
A ‘groundswell’ of entrepreneurs
The percentage of students pursuing an MBA who want to start their own business out of college is rising, said Ahmed, who has served on numerous boards and committees related to education and technology, including the STEM School in Highlands Ranch. “There is a groundswell occurring and a tsunami coming our way,” Ahmed said. “The education system, it’s not enough to support the tsunami.” Innovation Pavilion is planning to establish a permanent presence in Parker by building a “sizable campus with many
components” in about a year, Ahmed said. It is still developing a business model for Parker and seeking $10 million-$20 million in contributions from partners to create the campus. It is hoping to involve Douglas County Libraries and the Douglas County School District in its development, as well as local creative industries and even teen entrepreneurs. Four- to- eight-week courses will cost around $100 to $200 to make them affordable for anyone.
Building a team
The south metro area is teeming with professionals and retirees who want to give back by volunteering their expertise, Ahmed said. “They enjoy working with entrepreneurs and do it to keep their minds sharp,” Ahmed said, adding that some mentors join the company later or are looking for investment opportunities among the fledgling start-ups. Innovation Pavilion is undergoing a nationwide expansion, but decided it was worth setting up shop in neighboring Parker, where the entrepreneurial spirit runs strong. Ahmed said he was impressed with Parker’s openness to the idea of bringing in an incubator for small businesses. Weldy Feazell, business recruitment and marketing manager for the Town of Parker, said anticipation is already building for the limitless possibilities. “This could be a game-changer for Parker and what we can do with small business and entrepreneur development across the board,” she said.
Putting Parker on the biz map
Waid, a small business owner himself, believes Innovation Pavilion will bring a unique energy to Parker and “put us on the map in terms of business environments.” “Having access to that synergy makes new things happen,” he said. “True innovation happens at the micro level. This gives our citizens and business an opportunity to participate in something that’s innovative.” Parker and Innovation Pavilion will work with local corporations to explore ways to make employees happier, more productive and more secure, the company said in an announcement. The partnership will also seek to bring increased business investment to the community. Innovation Pavilion and the Town of Parker will host a launch event at the PACE Center on Sept. 22.

Athlete believes in pushing limits Castle Rock man uses biking background to drive others By Nick Puckett npuckett@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Drew Edsall wasn’t born an athlete, he was made into one — at least that’s what he believes. To Edsall, a former high school soccer star, walk-on college decathlete and professional mountain biker-turnedendurance sport coach, being an athlete is not some elusive achievement enjoyed by few. An athlete, he said, looks to improve performance and meet certain goals through work ethic, regardless of his or her level. “Everyone can be an athlete,” he said. “You’ve got to push yourself to that limit and decide to get that mental fortitude to push yourself to the next level.” It’s the mantra that Edsall, 34, teaches his clients on day one. The Castle Rock resident always knew his calling was to coach. Inspired by his high school coaches, the Vero Beach, Florida, native studied human body and performance at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania. “I’ve always had great coaches,” said Edsall, “and that’s how I got to where I was.” Edsall went to college to play soccer, but never played a minute for the team because of a knee injury sustained in a snowboarding accident the previous winter. He walked on to the track and field team with no experience and made it. In his first year, Edsall competed in decathlon. He won the conference championship in the event in 2002 and 2003. In 2004, he graduated with a degree in exercise sciences. Out of college, Edsall worked at his family’s Vero Beach orange grove. In 2005, Edsall discovered mountain biking -in Florida and decided to focus on a racing career. “I always knew I loved mountain biking,” he said. “My family has property in Durango. We used to go there every ysummer, and I always enjoyed biking.” Edsall gave himself 10 years to compete. To earn a professional license, racers need to finish top three in respective age categories at USA Cycling-sponsored events. Edsall began in the Sport Class (equivalent to an intermediate eclass) and was ranked No. 1 nationally in 2006. He earned his professional license that year and made his first pro team in 2012. After working four years for the family orange business,

Drew Edsall left the professional mountain-biking circuit in 2014. The Castle Rock resident now coaches endurance athletes. Courtesy photo Edsall left to pursue his coaching career. He bought an RV and started his own business coaching triathletes, cyclists and other endurance athletes. For eight years, Edsall traveled the country competing and coaching with his dog Kolbe. “It wasn’t fun living there all the time,” he admitted. But “I saw places I’ll probably never see again, I rode places that most athletes never get to see.” Today, Edsall remains in contact with several clients from across the country. He provides workout plans, nutrition diets and motivation through the Internet and phone calls. Edsall meets his clients in person about once a year. He has a client from Trinidad and Tobago and another competing in the World Championships in Europe. Troy Zimmerman, who lives in Palm Gardens, Florida, has been a client for nearly 10 years. “Because he has done what he’s coaching, he’s very understanding,” he said.
Edsall left the professional circuit and settled down with his wife in Castle Rock in 2014 to focus on his business. They sold the RV earlier this year. In September, he will coach the Trinidad and Tobago National Mountain Biking Team at the Caribbean Championships in Puerto Rico. Edsall may not have been born an athlete, but he might’ve been born a mountain biker. On a recent day in July, Edsall smiled as he fiddled with a pen in one hand and talked about his time living in the RV. His coaching philosophy comes largely from his experiences, he said. “The difference between athletes at a higher level and athletes at a lower level,” he said, “is their ability to push themselves and to dig further and further and realize that the limit they thought was the limit isn’t the limit anymore — especially in biking. That’s the difference between the guy who wins the race and the guy who finishes third.”

Upperclassmen show enewcomers the ropes
aBy Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com l The first day of high school can be overwhelming. a A new school, new people and more freedom can lead to a whirlwind first day of class. At Legend High School in Parker, the school’s Link Crew program brought in the new freshman class Aug. 10, a day before the rest of the school, and let a select rgroup of upperclassmen spend the day with the new students answering questions and helping them adjust. t “It just gives those ninth-graders a day to get accustomed to what’s going on, figure out where they’ve got to do and learn their locker combinations. All that stuff gets ,to happen today,” School Board President aKevin Larsen said. “Tomorrow there will ebe 2,100 kids. We don’t want them to feel trampled.” s Larsen said he can still remember his first day of high school back in 1977. s “I had moved across town and knew five s
people,” Larsen said. “It was a little bit intimidating but it was also kind of cool because it was a chance to start new and make new friends.” Douglas County Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen said the program is important because it establishes “a culture and climate with the freshmen right from the very first day.” According to Legend High School senior Josh Bergford, making new friends is still one of the biggest challenges for new high school students. “I didn’t know anyone when I came to this high school,” Bergford said. “I think probably the hardest thing is making new friends, but once that was out of the way, all of the doors opened up and it was lots of fun.” Link Crew ambassador and Legend student Erin Jones said another major challenge is being around the older students for the first time. “It’s overwhelming being around so many upperclassmen. It can be intimidating at first,” Jones said. “That transition of having some classes with upperclassmen instead of just being with your grade. We welcome them in and let them know that there is a place for everyone here at Legend.”

Tributes add acting to things that are distracting I can always watch Turner Classic Movies without dismay. There’s garbage almost everywhere else. Ultimate fighting. Ladies going gaga over wedding dresses. Fools trying to guess how much sandwich bags cost. Every December, Turner Classic Movies creates a tribute to personalities in the film industry who died that year. “TCM Remembers.” It always beautifully composed and beautifully edited. They find a perfect song to go along with it. I watch it over and over. Most of the names I recognize, but a few of them I don’t. Most of the time, I get teary-eyed. I’ll see three or four seconds of a supporting actor and remember the film he was in, and maybe where I was when I saw it. It always slows me down. When I write, I am constantly going back and forth between what I am writing, what I am listening to, and what is going on. Troy Tulowitzski. Susan Bland. Cecil the lion. I have a lot of homemade playlists. Erik Satie. Buddy Holly. Tangerine Dream. Tim Buckley. Jeff Buckley. Arvo Part. Electric Light Orchestra. Dead Can Dance. Mozart and Beethoven. Jorma Kaukonen. Dire Straits. Want me to make you a CD? I’ll be listening to something, “Dreams Are Like Water” by This Mortal Coil, reading an online story about an African lion, and things around here just stop. It’s like the TCM tributes almost every day. I read “California man who helped kidnap
busload of kids paroled after 37 years (Reuters)” this morning. (“Gymnopédie No. 1” was playing.) That happened in 1976. I was still living in Mesa, Arizona. It was a couple of Craig Marshall Smith days before Father’s Day. Three young QUIET men loaded the kids DESPERATION and the bus driver into a buried box truck. On Father’s Day that year I went to an art professor’s house for lunch. On the way, in my midnight-blue, 1975 Toyota station wagon, I was listening to the radio. The disc jockey said it was 117 degrees. I have never forgotten that. The car didn’t have air conditioning. It had black vinyl upholstery. I bought it in a moment of abject stupidity. The kidnappers were in their 20s. So was I. James Schoenfeld was released on parole, with no objection by Gov. Jerry Brown. Brown had been California’s governor in 1976 too. He ran for the Democratic party’s nomination for president in 1976. He lost, and remained California’s governor until 1983.
Brown was later the mayor of Oakland and the state’s attorney general. In January 2011, Brown was sworn in for his third term as governor. And now he has let stand the ruling of a parole board on someone who was sentenced when he was serving his first term. Schoenfeld has been walking back and forth and spending time in the exercise yard for the past 37 years. I spent a couple of hours in a holding cell one night. I’ll tell you about it someday. I couldn’t reach for the dog. I couldn’t do anything except walk back and forth and wait. Thirty-seven years of that would have turned me into someone else. Nothing, nothing, nothing is better than independence, freedom, and liberty without permission. There are pictures of Schoenfeld when he was arrested, and he looks like we all did. Too much hair. Young, smiling. Now he looks like a 63-year-old man who has been living in a cage. His eyes aren’t there. Before he died in 2012, the bus driver, Frank Edward “Ed” Ray, had lots of grateful visitors. The schoolchildren (ages 5-14) he helped to safety in 1976. For a good “TCM Remembers” starter, try 2014. Robin Williams, Lauren Bacall, Shirley Temple. Song is “All I Want” by Kodaline.

‘Successful by association’ stems from correct choices We have all heard that other adage right, “Guilty by association.” The word “guilty” just sounds bad doesn’t it? That is, unless we are guilty of doing something good, maybe even excellent, kind, praiseworthy or noble. Or if we feel like we have reached a goal or have met with success because of our associations, we may be found guilty of hanging around with the right people. Goal achievers and successful people share many best practices, and one of them is knowing whom to associate with and whom to avoid. They seek out and attract others who are like-minded and who also might be pursuing a similar path. As an example, students of all ages looking to further their knowledge will find others who are also disciplined while trying to advance their level of education. These are the knowledge seekers looking to grow their mind and who become successful by association. Individuals looking to get in shape, lose weight and maybe even compete athletically at a higher level will also find others whom they can run, bike, hike, climb, diet and work out with. They seek out and find accountability partners, encouraging, coaching and driving each other to success. They share workout routines, recipes, cross-fit schedules, pains, victories and upcoming events that inspire and motivate each other to succeed. These are fitness seekers looking to develop and protect
their bodies who are successful by association. I know many spiritual people, some who follow an organized religion and others who find their spirituality in nature, people, personal space and other ways and places. There are people whom I have Michael Norton met and even some WINNING of the people whom I know intimately who WORDS have already reached a higher level of spirituality, yet as they seek to grow and go even higher or deeper into their journey, they attract and seek others who will participate in their mutual pursuit of growing even closer and deeper in whatever faith journey they are on. These are the wisdom seekers looking to further develop their spirit who become successful by association. Mind, body, spirit … each area of our lives is impacted in some way by all three of these. And although we may focus more on one particular area at a time, it’s important that we associate ourselves with people who are on the same path, people whom we can encourage and drive, and people who will motivate
and educate us in return. Perhaps you are still a bit skeptical about this whole “success by association” concept. So let’s look at the other side for a moment. People who enter a drug rehabilitation center and spend any length of time there will come out of the facility with some level of hope. Yet when they are placed back in the same environment with their same circle of friends who continue to use, they fall right back into their own use and abuse of drugs or alcohol. They do not become successful by association; they are guilty of avoiding success by their choice of association. If you have a goal, if you have a dream, if you would like to get clean in mind, body and spirit, I strongly encourage you to let others know what your goals are so that they will find you and that you seek others who are pursuing those same dreams so that you foster mutually rewarding relationship built on trust, accountability, inspiration and encouragement. How about you, are you successful by association or guilty of avoiding success by association? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we find the right partners and associates in life, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.
Finally, a fix for No Child Left Behind It’s probably a safe bet that at one time or another, all of us have been on the receiving end of well-intentioned but misguided policies coming out of Washington. Unfortunately, our public education system is no different. Whether you’re a parent, student, teacher, school administrator or none of the above, you have likely heard of the problems with No Child Left Behind. This law was a 2002 update of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which is the chief federal law addressing K-12 education. There were some good and important changes in No Child Left Behind, but it was riddled with serious issues that we saw firsthand as parents and that I experienced in my role as superintendent of Denver Public Schools. Fortunately, last month 81 senators came together to pass a long-overdue fix to the law. The Every Child Achieves Act reforms many of the failed policies from No Child Left Behind, while still maintaining several of the measures that have proven successful. On the Senate HELP Committee, our office had the opportunity to help write the bill and secure several amendments. We took the lessons we learned from Denver Public Schools
and the countless stories we heard from families, principals, teachers, and kids across Colorado and incorporated them into the new bill. We fought to include measures to better recruit, train, and retain teachers and principals, reduce federal overreach, encourage innoU.S. Sen. vation, and ensure we Michael Bennet are supporting our rural GUEST schools. We know that teachCOLUMN ers are the single most important in-school factor affecting the quality of a child’s education. To that end, we included support for teachers to grow in their profession, including allowing them to take on leadership roles in school, such as mentoring other teachers and providing academic coaching. We also worked to include access to higher quality teacher development that has been proven to help teachers grow. And we incorporated sup-
port for teacher and school leader residency programs, modeled off of the Denver Teacher Residency Program, which we developed right here in Colorado. One of the chief complaints about No Child Left Behind was its prescriptive, top-down approach to help failing schools. In this new bill, we reduced federal overreach and promoted state-driven accountability systems, while still helping to provide kids from all walks of life with a great education. The bill still maintains annual assessments and data to identify and track achievement gaps for different subgroups of students, but we returned the power to states to decide how best to implement plans to fix their lowest-performing schools. The bill also empowers states to set a limit on the amount of time students will spend taking annual assessments, helping to reduce the impact of testing in our classrooms After hearing from rural communities throughout Colorado, we included a bipartisan package of provisions to help better support our rural schools. These include measures to provide technical assistance to rural school Bennet continues on Page 9

their routes. Typically, they will head back to the bus terminal to return their books and keys. However, some may be driving students on field trips during the middle of the day. There are also mid-day routes for special-needs students who attend school during different hours. Some drivers return home to relax during this time. Others have second jobs. “You come back in the afternoon and then the whole thing starts in reverse,” King said. Bus technology School buses may have changed a little over the years. The district’s buses are outfitted with technology that allows parents and educators to keep track of students, drivers and the bus. Zonar is a GPS-enabled location system used on each of the district’s buses. Each student is issued a card that they are required to keep in their possession while riding the bus. As they climb the stairs to board, their card is scanned and logs the activity of each student. When they get off, the card is scanned again. “The beauty of that is, if a mom calls and says `I haven’t seen my son this afternoon. Where did he last get off?’ we can pull that up on our computer screen right away, find out his card and find out what stop he got off at or if he is still on the bus,” Grattino said. Every bus also is equipped with cameras. “That helps safety too because we can pull the video and see that a student really did get off at a particular location or who he was with,” Grattino said. “All of that stuff is really valuable to parents.” Behind the wheel “Nobody wants to be behind the school bus,” King said. “You just anticipate that cars are going to cut me off or speed around me. You just expect that.” According to King, bus drivers work in multiple environments at the same time. There is the internal environment of the bus — filled with kids and questions and sometimes chaos — and the external environment of traffic conditions, weather and other drivers. Each bus is designed to seat 77 people. “Last year, I had one stop with 65 kids,” King said. “That’s a big load for high school. You can’t really fit three high school kids to a seat.” King said the hardest age to drive is middle school. “They’re just at that age,” he said. High school students are the most relaxed, normally keeping to themselves or listening to music, and the elementary students ask the most questions. “You can be a good driver or you can be a so-so driver,” King said. “You can interact with the kids or you cannot. When you can build a rapport and get to know them, it’s pretty cool.”

districts when applying for federal grants, clarify that rural districts or Boards of Cooperative Educational Services can join together to submit funding applications, and require that the state and the Department of Education study policymaking processes and ensure they are taking steps to increase the consideration and participation of rural schools. This bill still isn’t perfect. As we enter into negotiations to reconcile the House and Senate versions of the bill we will work to add accountability measures to make certain that all kids have access to a qual-

School vehicles require care Staff report The life cycle of a school bus varies. Some of the Douglas County School District’s buses are 25 years old, with 400,000 miles. Others are brand new. “Because they are so sturdy, it’s easy to repair them, but usually when the cost outweighs the feasibility of continuing to use the bus, we say we’re done. It’s time to replace it,” said Donnna Grattino, the school district’s director of transportation. According to mechanic Nick de Haan, each bus goes
ity education regardless of their zip code. We need to ensure we are identifying the lowest-performing schools so states can put their plans in place. This bill is shaped by Colorado voices and designed to re-empower those closest to our kids. It helps ensure decisions about educating our children are being made by those who know them best. It includes many necessary tools to help our states, school districts, principals and teachers ensure the success of the next generation. Our kids and grandkids are counting on us to help create an education system that prepares them for success in the 21st century. Passing this bill — while a long time coming — is certainly a step in the right direction. Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

through an annual inspection to determine if it’s fit for service. “The biggest things we do are safety oriented,” de Haan said. “You want to make sure that bus is safe and ready to transport students.” Tires will usually last two or three years, but other parts need more routine maintenance. When a bus is no longer fit for service, the parts are used for other fixes. Buses that take more rural routes typically need more regular maintenance. “We have some very rural areas, so they’re driving on mud and dirt and snow to get to the stops,” Grattino said.

If C-470’s planned improvements aren’t on your radar, the Colorado Department of Transportation has published an assessment of the future project, made available at various libraries in the south Metro area. The projects are intended to help relieve congestion, decrease delays and improve travel reliability, and will include the addition of one tolled express lane, according to a CDOT press release. The release of this information is part of a public outreach that CDOT has been working on since 2006 with the project. A C-470 corridor coalition was formed in 2011 to provide a forum for local government. The assessments are made up of two giant binders filled with pages of diagrams, photos and summaries that can be accessed at libraries in Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Lone Tree, south Jefferson County, Castle Rock, Lakewood and Denver.
• Lone Tree Library, 8827 Lone Tree Parkway in Lone Tree
C-470 continues on Page 32
• CDOT headquarters, 4201 E. Arkansas Ave. in Denver • CDOT Region 1, 2000 S. Holly St. in Denver • Federal Highway Administration, 12300 W. Dakota Ave. in Lakewood • Douglas County government, 100 Third St., Suite 220 in Castle Rock For project information or public comment, visit: www.codot.gov/projects/c470ExpressLanes.

A Saturday at the fair
A PRCA ProRodeo competitor wrestles his steer to the ground at the Douglas County Fair in Castle Rock on Aug. 8. Photos by Taryn Walker
Castle Rock buddies Max Caiden, back, and Witt Horning get a good look at the steer wrestling competition at the PRCA ProRodeo at the Douglas County Fair.
By Taryn Walker twalker@colorado communitymedia.com From pig races to rodeo mutton bustin’, the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo in Castle Rock was packed on Aug. 8 with guests snacking on giant turkey legs and winning gold fish at carnival games. Barns were full of animals and visitors were shocked to see the enormity of draft horses, award-winning rabbits in costume and goats dressed in hats. Crowds by the thousands swarmed to stand in line for rides like the “Power” ride to be spin through the air and check out the view of Castle Rock. Food options ranged from grape ice cream, fried Oreos and funnel cake to giant hot dogs, buffalo cheesesteak and beer-battered fish and chips. Inside at the main entrance, booths lined the halls and entertainment was provided by the Castle Rock Music Youth Symphony, as well as line dancers dressed in red, white and blue tutus. As the PRCA ProRodeo event unfolded that evening, rodeo queens and princesses took to the arena’s dirt to proudly display the state of Colorado and U.S. flags. The stands were full of cowboys and cowgirls who cheered, ready to watch their favorite rodeo festivities. The competition started off hot, as bareback riders busted out of the shoots, holding on to their bucking horses for as long as possible. Rodeo competitors leaped from horse to steer to get the cow down on the ground during steer wrestling. Little ones were bucked off of sheep during Mutton Bustin’, which seemed to be the crowd’s favorite. With the rodeo underway, the fair was booming and more and more packed the grounds to enjoy the fair.

THE BULLS ARE BACK IN TOWN
Douglas County High School graduate Patrick Geipel was the ďŹ rst to ride at the PRCA Xtreme Bulls event Aug. 6 at the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo. Often called the most dangerous event in rodeo, the PRCA Xtreme Bulls bull-riding event helped kick off the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo Aug. 6 in Castle Rock. Douglas County High School graduate Patrick Geipel, now of Westcliffe, got the crowd going with the first ride of the evening. He was followed by pro riders from throughout the West, and a few from Hawaii. But the pros weren’t the only ones riding. Aspiring cowboys and cowgirls had the option to take their shots ringside on a mechanical bull.

Hospital arts show emphasizes nature
Healing Arts Gallery is off main lobby area
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com For a second year, Castle Rock Adventist Hospital has partnered with art students at Douglas County High School in an exhibit called “Art, Nature
and Wellness.” Young artists are encouraged to explore the role nature plays in our lives and express their thoughts in a work of art to share with the community. “These personal, inspirational messages can help produce a more positive perspective for the viewer and the artist,” said hospital CEO Todd Folkenberg. He said that lifetime partnerships were being created in the Castle Rock community through
integration of art into health care. The exhibit is sponsored by the Aloha Trust. The exhibit, part of the hospital’s Healing Arts Program, is in the Healing Arts Gallery, off the main lobby conference center area. It continues until Sept. 1. An artist reception from 5 to 7 p.m. on Aug. 18 will celebrate the artworks and a Critic’s Choice Award will be announced. Judging is based on
overall creativity, originality and imagination, Folkenberg said. The Castle Rock Hospital Foundation supports the Healing Arts Program through community donations. The program offers music therapy, visual arts and community outreach to revitalize the mind, body and spirit for patients, families and staff. Castle Pines artist Mary Williams coordinates the art exhibits.

A match ma de i n he ave n
Churches find haven in strip mall locations By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com
South Fellowship Church could be considered ahead of its time. “Our pastor at the time, Dale Schlafer, was pretty progressive,” said Eva Maxwell, office manager and the pastor’s administrative assistant. In 1991, Schlafer led the effort to purchase an entire strip mall on Broadway and East Panama Drive, in Littleton but just on the border of Centennial. “They bought the whole center because it was a different and new thing to do,” said Maxwell. They set up a sanctuary and opened a day-care center and a coffee shop, Solid Grounds, the revenues from which help support the church’s mission of “glorifying God by making disciples through Gospel transformation, life-giving community and visible faith.” Maxwell said the situation appeals to people who might not be drawn to a traditional church building. “We get to touch a lot of people who don’t feel like they’re coming to an established church, per se,” she said. “It broadens our opportunities to serve the community and be a presence.” South Fellowship now offers space to outside groups that complement its mission, said Maxwell, including Rock Solid, which is a home-school supplement group, and Renewed Treasures, which is a consignment store operated by Love Inc., a Littleton-based nonprofit that offers a “hand up, not a hand out” to those in need. The church does not charge rent but does accept donations, said Maxwell. What South Fellowship leaders probably didn’t know in 1991 was that by 2015, churches in commercial spaces would be a common phenomenon for a variety of reasons. ‘You are the church’ In the case of South Fellowship, the shopping center is an end game. “Right now God has us here, and this is where we plan to stay,” said Maxwell. But for Pastor Fernando Ortiz at Mile High Calvary, moving into the South Park Centre at Broadway and West County Line Road (also in Littleton but at the border with Highlands Ranch) was a step up. Before the move five years ago, his congregation was meeting at a recreation center. He’s not opposed to the church having its own building someday, but land to build on is getting
South Fellowship Church owns the entire strip mall it’s in, at Broadway and Panama Drive. Photo by Jennifer Smith harder to come by, he notes. “But a building isn’t a church. A shopping center isn’t a church. It’s the people that make up the church,” he said. “Jesus said, ‘You are the church.’ A building doesn’t dictate who or what you’re all about.” His attitude reflects a shift in thinking, with more contemporary congregations trying to draw in younger members to replace the aging populations in more traditional churches, according to David Roozen, director of the Hartford Institute for Religion Research at Hartford Seminary. But James Hudnut-Beumler, former dean of Vanderbilt Divinity School, writes on Hartford’s website about traditional pastors resisting the move away from “edifice complex,” or the desire to create a tribute to God. “Places of worship are symbolically close to where the action of the holy occurs,” he said. “Indeed, clerical resistance may come either from the clergy’s own interests in redirecting funding away from capital improvements and toward program, or from understanding all too well the true religious significance their parishioners place in `improving’ the place where God is worshipped as a modern-day form of ritual sacrifice.” A business decision But for some churches, the moves aren’t based on philosophy and aren’t good news. In 2010, a national Faith Communities Today survey found that 68 percent of congregations reported financial hits during the “great recession,” with nearly 20 percent calling the hit substantial. “The downward trend was in place before the reces-
New hybrid eatery opens mid-August Brilliant chef Justin Brunson, the culinary brains behind Masterpiece Deli and Old Major, has come up with a new hybrid restaurant called Honor Society Handcrafted Eatery, which is slated to open mid-August at 1900 16th St. Brunson and his crew threw a hearty party on July 30 for invited guests to sample and sip what this fast-casual hybrid concept has to offer. Guests munched on lovely bites of Red Bird Farm chicken, flank steak, pizza and hand-crafted juice cocktails. Brunson told me that the original concept included a juice bar, but he put the kibosh on that because a bar that offers liquor comes with a much higher profit margin. The new restaurant will cater to office workers and the pedestrian crowd in the area. The partners behind the new fast-fine restaurant concept, Honor Society Handcrafted Eatery, have announced their management team including executive chef Craig Dixon; general manager Hany Solh; catering manager Jessica Smith; and bar manager Angie Batillo. Bittersweet has new menu My former Denver Post BFF Margaret Jackson and I dined at Bittersweet, a 4-year-old Washington Park West neighborhood spot, to check out the new menu that owner/ co-chef Olav Peterson says has more options and smaller plates for sharing. Call it a response to the evolution of Denver dining. Peterson said that the menu revamp was inspired by his customers who were typically ordering a couple of appetizers to share and splitting an entree. His artisanal approach to handcrafted cuisine has resulted in a new menu with more options and smaller plates, encouraging more sharing and tasting among guests. Previously, the menu featured 14 items; the updated, expanded menu features 18 items and smaller
portion sizes, allowing guests to try more dishes during one dining experience while allowing Bittersweet to lower prices per item. Rather than separating appetizers Penny Parker from entrees MILE HIGH and so on, the menu is LIFE organized by the item’s origin — from the garden, from the water or from the field — and all dishes are similar in portion size. In tandem with the new menu, Bittersweet also will launch its “Thursday Tasting Menu” this month, comprised of four courses with wine pairings, and priced at $50 per person.

Rosenberg’s adds Aurora location Stanley Marketplace, which will open its doors within the former Stanley Aviation headquarters at 2501 Dallas St. in Aurora next year,
announced the addition of Rosenberg’s Bagels to its list of restaurant offerings. The location at Stanley will be Rosenberg’s second dedicated restaurant; the first is in Denver’s Five Points neighborhood. Rosenberg’s also sells its popular bagels at Gather, located within Galvanize in the Golden Triangle neighborhood. Rosenberg’s Stanley location will consist of 2,500 square feet. Similar to the Five Points restaurant, Rosenberg’s at Stanley Marketplace will offer New York-style bagels, specialty fish, sandwiches and coffee, as well as pretzels, bagel balls, pastries and breads. A more extensive vegetarian menu will also be available, as well as a children’s menu. Rosenberg’s guests will also enjoy dedicated parking at Stanley for grab-and-go orders, and a drive-thru option may also be available. “I’m excited to bring Rosenberg’s into Stapleton and Aurora on the brink of both neighborhoods’ expansions,” said Joshua Pollack, master bagel maker and owner of Rosenberg’s. “I think Stanley — and the businesses within — will help to be a catalyst for positive growth in the area, similar to what we saw after opening our first location in Denver’s now burgeoning Five Points neighborhood.” Overheard Eavesdropping on a woman: “The best people you want working for you are those with no lives.

sion hit,” said Roozen. “But the recession has contributed to extending the decline.” Thus was created a match made in heaven. Centers filled anchor spots, keeping at bay crime and vandalism that can plague centers with high vacancies, and churches got cheap rent and lower maintenance costs. “The sheer cost of continually building and improving religious buildings has not escaped the notice of religious leaders,” writes Hudnut-Beumler. “When they are not leading building projects, they have typically been found lamenting the waste that goes into building instead of mission and programmatic spending.” The 2008 Hartford Institute survey found that 47 percent of megachurch income goes to employee salaries and benefits, compared to 13 percent for missions and benevolence. “We are not out to become a megachurch,” said Maxwell. “Our pastor’s vision is to be a church-planting church, and start churches in other areas of the city.” A bad sign? Not everyone is a fan of the situation, especially those entities that benefit from sales tax. Mile High Calvary pays property taxes through its rent, and South Fellowship’s coffee shop generates sales tax on items like coffee mugs and teapots. But the churches themselves are taxexempt, and as long as they’re behind a storefront, that’s one less tax-generating business that isn’t. Paul Rutledge, vice president with CBRE Group in Los Angeles, during a Shopping Centers Today panel in March, called churches a sign of a dying retail property, along with unemployment offices, bingo parlors and motor-vehicle divisions. “But try evicting a church if it stops paying rent,” he quipped. Maxwell said several real-estate agents have inquired as to whether South Fellowship has any interest in selling the strip mall, and she understands the potential for redevelopment of the site. But the church is not going anywhere, she said. “Our goal is that if anything should happen to South Fellowship Church,” she said, “we would want the community to miss us.”

Digging deep into the past Parker man helps families uncover long-forgotten history
MORE INFORMATION The Attic accepts narrowly defined requests and works with clients to determine needs and budget. For more information, go to www. theatticgenealogy.com or call 303-841-7092.
By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Knowing what the future holds is a difficult proposition, but knowing the past has gotten much easier. Technology has brought about new ways of accessing old documents, helping more people discover their family histories. At the forefront of the changes has been Tom Duncan, who has taken on the art of genealogy as more than just a hobby. Duncan launched The Attic Genealogy Research from his Parker home in 2011, and since then he has been uncovering closely held secrets, unraveling mysteries and introducing families to their ancestors. Duncan, a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, uses common means of accessing public records, such as Ancestry.com, but has visited archives in Washington, D.C., that hold documents that have not yet been digitized. He also has access to extensive databases that help connect the dots and fill in the gaps. The results are not always earth shattering, but they are nonetheless enlightening. “Not everyone’s family is famous, but everyone’s family has history that’s pretty amazing, since most of our ancestors were immigrants and had to take a lot of chances and risks to try to make a life over here,” said Duncan, who neatly packages the information based on his clients’ preferences. Access has improved at blinding speed in recent years due to online databases, record digitization and advancements like optical
Parker resident Tom Duncan points at a photo of one of his ancestors. Photos by Chris Michlewicz character readers that scan documents for key words. And with the advent of television shows like “Finding Your Roots,” “Who Do You Think You Are?” and the “Genealogy Roadshow,” more people have become interested in brushing the dirt away from undiscovered or long-forgotten family histories. Many of Duncan’s clients have recently lost a loved one. “They look at genealogy as a way to keep their memory alive and find out what their (relatives’) lives were like before the kids
were born,” Duncan said. Due to the time and costs associated with intensive genealogical research, however, parents of young children and busy professionals often can’t make it a priority. That’s where The Attic Genealogy Research comes in, because the resources that Duncan has at his fingertips enable him to provide a broad view of a family’s history. Plus, as his website notes, there’s “no substitute for doggedly digging around at local libraries, courthouses, historical societies and cemeteries to ensure that your family history is pieced together accurately and as completely as possible.” Parker resident Steve Budnack can at-
test to Duncan’s determination. The latter recently completed an eight-month search on behalf of the former. Budnack had attempted his own genealogy research 10 years ago, but hit roadblocks that prevented him gathering all of the information. Having met Duncan through the Parker Rotary Club, Budnack enlisted his help. “He took it to another level with me,” Budnack said. “He went back much farther than I could ever do myself.” He learned that his great-great uncle helped dig Abraham Lincoln’s basement in Illinois. He also realized that a woman he has known for six years who lives in Franktown is his second cousin. The piece-bypiece reveal kept Budnack’s excitement going throughout the process. But there was one particular day that Budnack recalls, one that forever changed his view on his family’s legacy. Duncan called him on the phone and asked to meet immediately. He had found something monumental: the Niland brothers, who are at the center of the “Saving Private Ryan” story, are his second cousins. “Most families moved away and it never got passed down,” said Budnack, who grew up in the Buffalo, New York, area. “I think it went to the grave with a lot of people.” Duncan was so excited by the find that he raced down to the Parker Task Force, where Budnack volunteers, to share the news. “He was pretty shocked about it,” Duncan said.

Chorale for local seniors starts in September Highlands Ranch group welcomes all from area By Taryn Walker twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Highlands Ranch Community Association is calling all soprano, alto, tenor and bass vocalists 55 and “better” to join the Highlands Ranch Encore Chorale. The non-audition choir will kick off Sept. 4 for a 15-week session and end with a free holiday concert, open to the public, on Dec. 6. Those interested in joining will pay a one-time fee of $95 to be a charter member, which includes weekly group voice lessons, learning music and tools to help improve breath control and voice range, chorale director Brian Letherman said. Lessons for a maximum of 75 members will be held at Southridge Recreation Center, 4800 McArthur Ranch Road, every Friday from 10:30 a.m. to noon in preparation for the holiday concert, where members will sing holiday favorites and popular music from the 1950s and 1960s. The chorale is a national affiliate of Encore Creativity for Older Adults, a nonprofit corporation dedicated to providing an accessible artistic environment for older adults who seek arts education and performance opportunities under the direction of professional artists, according to a press release. Encore Creativity is based in Maryland and has more than 750 singers throughout the United States. Under the artistic direction of Leatherman and executive director and accompanist Cindy Runkel, the bar is set high, HRCA spokeswoman Jamie Noebel said. “It’s a pretty neat program. We’re really, really lucky to get directors of this caliber. This isn’t just a regional, little choir that gets together to sing — these directors are really good and bring out the best in everybody,” Noebel said. “As you get older, you go through your cycle of work and get to a point where something you really enjoyed early in your life disappears. We want this to be something where people are able to jump back into a passion they once had. I think they’ll (singers) be in heaven if they join.” Leatherman said that a couple of summers ago, he and Runkel were working with Denver’s largest choir group, the Cherry Creek Chorale, and after taking over for a former professor to direct the program for seniors, he had a “ball” doing it. “I said to Cindy when I retire June of 2014 from my teaching career, we ought to start a daytime choir for senior citizens,” Leatherman said. “She (Cindy) did a lot of research and came across a group in D.C. and read a research paper about the efficacy of singing for older people. The social, physical, emotional and spiritual benefits of singing for the community were astounding.”
Cindy Runkel, left, and Brian Letherman will direct the Highlands Ranch Encore Chorale come Sept. 6. Runkel will be the executive director and accompanist, while Leatherman will be the artistic director and conductor of the group. Courtesy photo After teaching music for 30 years, Leatherman retired and he and Runkel brought the idea of a chorale to the HRCA and Noebel was thrilled, he said. The long-term goal is to eventually have a number of similar choirs throughout the Denver metropolitan area. Now that the Highlands Ranch plan is in place for the south metro area, other good locations like Lakewood, Aurora and somewhere in central Denver would be lovely, Leatherman said. Leatherman said he’d also like to have another Highlands Ranch 15-week session start sometime in January. “Our main goal is to put on a really professionally prepared concert. I’ve been conducting community choirs for 26 years, I know what I’m doing and I’m a singer myself. We would love to have a choir of 75 with five-eighths women and two-eighths men. But, we will work with what we get. We want to help these singers use their voices easily and well and watch them have a good time doing it,” Leatherman said. Speaking of a good time, charter members will have the opportunity to learn singing styles from genres like big band, folk and Broadway. The group will predominantly work on songs for the Christmas program, as Leathermen has already gathered arrangements like “Hallelujah,” “Do You Hear What
I Hear” and the Hanukkah piece “Everlasting Light.” Runkel, who is the marketing and development manager of the Cherry Creek Chorale and performs professionally with piano and her voice, said she thinks of music performing groups as team sports. “What musical group that you know of has people sitting on the bench? We all get to participate. It’s a feeling of accomplishment, especially for older people who might not have much going on in their lives. For this chorale, we’re going to have a very positive atmosphere. I love seeing that look on their faces when singing, just as much as I love performing myself,” she said. Runkel said she wants to make sure everyone knows that to be a part of the Highlands Ranch Encore Chorale does not mean you have to be a resident of the community. The chorale welcomes anyone from the area, she said. If interested in joining, an open house meeting with a video presentation and mini-rehearsal will be held at Southridge at 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 13. For more information or to RSVP for the open house, email 5280PLUS@centurylink.net. To register to participate in the chorale, call 303-471-8818 and reference Activity Number 157630.

Three very different productions take stage ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’
Summer stays busy in Denver theater realm
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Comedy, drama, farce — we were able to see three very different plays last week, two of them solid, professional and spellbinding and the third a bit less so. I can recall when theaters were all pretty much dark in summer here — what a change to find lots to see in Denver and many more in the mountains a few hours away. Theater lovers are indeed fortunate.
‘The Odd Couple’
“The Odd Couple (Female Version)” is a 1984 revised script by Neil Simon, which has Olive Madison as the slob and Florence Unger as the tense neatnik. Olive takes Florence into her home after Florence leaves her husband in a rage and is suddenly homeless and without resources. Director Edith Weiss comments in her notes that it’s an appropriate choice as this year’s benefit production for Denver Housing Options, which operates the Barth Hotel (where the play is staged) and other facilities for seniors who need a home. Ticket sale this year will go towards an activity bus, the audience was told. (Each year sales provide something new for residents.) Leslie Carroll and Sharon Kay White, both Equity actors, play the leads of Olive and Florence with skilled comic timing. Neil Simon is known for his clever oneliners and this play is full of them. Lindsey Pierce, Gina Wencel, Susie Scott and Judy Phelan Hill, all experienced actors, are the friends who gather to play Trivial Pursuit at Olive’s and wisecrack through the evenings. Rory Pierce and James Maxwell as Manolo and Jesus Constazuela, brothers who live upstairs, stage a hilarious dinner party scene with Olive and Florence — milked for all it’s worth. Skilled directing is involved here. Reservations are recommended: Tickets: $25/$35, 303-595-4464, ext. 10, or seniorhousingoptions.org.
“Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” by Edward Albee has celebrated a 50th birthday and still comes across as a story that might be happening today on a campus near you. Emma Messenger plays the raging Martha and Scott Bellot is the ever-articulate, cutting George. They are a faculty couple at a small college, constantly feuding, yet truly dependent on each other. They are home from a party at Martha’s father’s home (he is college president). Martha has invited a new couple to stop by for a late drink: Honey (Maggy Stacy) and Nick (James O’Hagen Murphy). Messenger, winner of the 2015 Henry Award for outstanding actress, is outstanding in this tough role and the other cast members are right up there with her in nastiness as they grow progressively drunker and play destructive “party games,” led by George. When it was introduced in 1962, the language was viewed askance — it was denied a Pulitzer Prize because of language, in fact. It’s still hard to listen to at times, but a wonderfully crafted script in every way. Rick Yaconis’ direction is skilled. This production offers three intense hours of top-notch theater at the Edge Theater, 160 Teller St., in Lakewood, which grows stronger each year. Plays through Aug. 16. Tickets: $26, 303-232-0363, theedgetheater.com.
‘Always a Bridesmaid’
“Always a Bridesmaid” by friends Jesse Jones, Nicholas Hope and Joe Wooten is a farce about four friends who swear at high school graduation that they’ll always be there as bridesmaids when each one marries. Thirty years later, we find them — and ourselves — at a Southern wedding facility, Laurelton Oaks in Laurelton, Virginia, as self-centered Monette (Suzanne Nepi of Highlands Ranch) is about to make a third trip down the aisle. Happily married Libby Ruth (Cindy Hall) really believes wedded bliss is within reach. At the start of each act a beautiful young bride, Kari (Libby Ruth’s daughter, played by Rachel Bouchard), sips more and more champagne and holds forth on weddings, spotlighted to the side

Tree-hugger Charlie (Cindy LaudadioHill) has so far avoided marriage and hopes to keep it that way. She and the facility’s supervisor Sedalia (Chip Winn Wells) don’t see things eye to eye. Kathi Woods, as Deedra Wingate, is about to marry again, but is still somewhat connected to her ex … trouble there. A farce like this must be skillfully written with fast-action bits and slamming
doors and mistaken identities that make the production race along. This script is lacking a layer of silly stuff. The director and cast may not take advantage of the opportunities for physical comedy that do exist with enough speed, skill and grace. “Always a Bridesmaid” plays through Aug. 30 at Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St., Aurora. Tickets cost $28/$24 in advance. 303-856-7830, vintagetheatre.com.

PART 1 OF 3
Quite the catch
Castle View Sabercats COACH — Cory Williams
2014 RECORD — 20-4 (9-1)
Player behind the plate is key to softball success
LEAGUE — 5A/4A Continental PLAYERS TO WATCH — Kayla Gau, Jr., OF (.397, 5 HRs, 20 RBI); Michaela Kelly, Jr., 3B (.333, 15 RBI)
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com A basketball point guard and a softball catcher have much in common. Both players take charge and are team leaders. High school softball catchers touch the ball about 90 percent of the time. So they need to be athletic to block pitches and straddle the plate on plays at home, have a strong throwing arm, work with pitchers, set up defenses, correctly frame pitches, and establish a rapport with the home plate umpire. In short, catchers run the show just like a point guard takes charge of a basketball team. “For me, catchers are important for the leadership of the whole game,” said Rock Canyon coach Debbie Kortbawi. “I call them the captain. They are the ones in command. They can see everything. It’s their job to command the ship. “It’s kind of their job to go out and if the pitcher is not doing what she is supposed to be doing, calm her down, take the timeout that we don’t have to get charged with. Even if the pitcher is doing her job, sometimes the fielders aren’t doing as much as they should. The catcher can calm everybody down and kind of bring them together. That’s all part of controlling the game and being in charge of the ship.” Kortbawi has a good catcher in junior Sloane Stewartson, who has been the Continental League batting champion the past two seasons. She’s also good defensively and has become a leader. “It’s my job to see the field and run the defense,” Stewartson said. “I need to put everybody in position when the ball is hit and tell people what to do when a certain hitter gets up. Basically, I just have to see the game. The bench will tell me, ‘Hey, this batter had a good hit to the right side,’ and I can call a pitch that will go inside and try to make her jam and bring the ball down to where we want it to go.” Stewartson also knows the art of working with the pitcher is important. “I try to see how they are on that day and then try to base myself off of that and see if they need more encouragement or if they need me to call time,” she said. “I talk to them about what’s working or not working. I
SOFTBALL TEAMS AT A GLANCE
2015 OUTLOOK — Standout pitcher Savannah Heebner has graduated and longtime assistant Williams takes over as head coach of a team that was a state Class 5A semifinalist last season. “We have a great group of returning players,” said Williams. “If our pitching holds up we should be very competitive. It looks like we will have a large group of freshman that will be competing for spots and that will be exciting.”
Douglas County Huskies COACH — Brian Stebbins
2014 RECORD — 16-7 (6-4) LEAGUE — 5A/4A Continental
Valor Christian sophomore pitcher Ali Kilponen, right, won 18 games last season and pitched the Eagles to the Class 4A state championship, but she said she couldn’t have done it without junior catcher Erica Mann (left). Photos by Jim Benton just try to be their motivator.” Legacy coach Dawn Gaffin has had her share of good catchers, who have helped the Lightning win six of the past eight Class 5A state titles. “The catcher is part of the battery, and batteries for softball and baseball are one of the most important facets of the game,” said Gaffin. Valor Christian had a dominant battery last season in freshman pitcher Ali Kilponen, who won 18 games, and sophomore catcher Erica Mann. The Eagles won the Class 4A state championship. “Erica and I have a very good friendship on and off the field,” said Kilponen. “When I came to Valor, with her being such a good friend I could trust her on the field. We have such a strong bond that I can help her and she can help me overall, and I couldn’t have done it last year without her.” Mann knows that establishing a good relationship with the pitcher is vital, even if both are friends. “The toughest thing about catching is finding a pitcher you can work with well,” said Mann. “When a pitcher is happy, they pitch better. The hardest part even with this one (Ali) is she gets really hard on herself. It’s the little things that we can do. I’ll go out and we do anything that makes her smile. It’s just a game.”
PLAYERS TO WATCH — Hannah Storey, Jr., P/OF (12-6, 3.25 ERA, 107.2 innings); Clara Larson, Sr., SS (.619, 6 HR, 41 RBI); Jordan Acosta, Jr., OF (.443 , 8 SB); Abbey Montoya, Soph., C (.387) 2015 OUTLOOK — The Huskies lost in the quarterfinals of the 2014 Class 5A state tournament but the cupboard isn’t bare heading into this season. “We graduated five starters after last season so we are looking to fill those holes in the lineup with a talented group of juniors and a strong incoming freshman class,” commented Stebbins. “We should be right in the hunt for a league championship and our goal is to play on the final Saturday of the season.”
Rock Canyon Jaguars
COACH — Deborah Kortbawi
2014 RECORD — 9-13 (7-3) LEAGUE — 5A/4A Continental PLAYERS TO WATCH — Sloane Stewartson, Jr., C (.632 AVG, 8 HR, 32 RBIs); Sydney Marchando, Jr., P (2.66 ERA, .456); Caroline Thomas, Sr., OF (.393); Katie DiDonna, Sr., SS
Rock Canyon junior catcher Sloane Stewartson says her job is to see the field and run the defense, but she has also been one of the Continental League’s top hitters the past two seasons.
2015 OUTLOOK — The Jaguars are coming off a rare losing season, but standout junior catcher Sloane Stewartson headlines a team that has something to prove this season. Stewartson led the league in batting average, home runs, slugging percentage and on-base percentage. “This year we have great senior leadership and a core group of underclassmen with more experience,” said Kortbawi. “With our focus on embracing the team, we plan to stand tall, talk small and play ball.”
Golfers seek winning mentality High school sport requires correct thought process By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com In golf, one bad shot, a dreadful hole or a harsh break can send scores soaring. It happens in all levels of the sport, but especially in the high school ranks. Accurate drives, excellent approach shots and precise putting are essential. But for a player to do those things on the course, a strong mental game is imperative. “Golf has unique challenges on the mental side of the game,” said MetaGolf instructor Matt Long, Valor Christian’s boys golf assistant and mental coach. “The nature of it with being out there for five hours or more, you don’t have the reactionary part of it. It’s just you and the ball and it’s all self-initiated. There is just too much time between shots for you to think yourself into some bad places. It has a huge impact on the game.” Lakewood coach Alan Gonzales agrees. He emphasizes playing it forward. In golf, he said, it’s important to learn to forget. “We can’t be afraid to fail,” he said. “We hit shots that we know we can make — if
PLAYERS TO WATCH A list of some of the top south metro area high school boys golfers for the 2015 season: Tim Amundson, Valor Christian; Casey Chipman, Castle View; Jack Crisp, Highlands Ranch; Austin Hardman, Mountain Vista; Subin Lee, Cherry Creek; Nick Leibold, Heritage; Reese Leiker, Heritage; Philip Nelson, Legend; David Packer, Arapahoe; Chris Raap, Mountain Vista; Scott Robb, Littleton; David Roney, Douglas County; Justin Vaughn, Lutheran; Coby Welch, Valor Christian; Tyler Zang, Highlands Ranch; Ryan Zetwick, Rock Canyon
they work that’s great, if they don’t work we put it out of our mind. We learn from it but don’t dwell on it, drop our head and keep working hard.” Senior Kevin Liao and sophomore Jack Castiglia are two Lakewood golfers who wrestle with problems but have become mentally tougher. Liao has a tendency to be hard on himself. Castiglia is a short hitter, trying to keep up with the long drivers. “I’m hard on myself after a bad shot, but it’s even worse to keep thinking about that and making your round even worse,” said Liao. “After a bad shot, I used to focus
on what I did wrong on the swing and things like that. It used to be difficult for me. As long as you are focusing on what you want to do after the bad shot, it takes your mind off that bad shot. If you have the confidence to know your swing is at a good place, then you need to know you have the confidence to hit good shots.” Castiglia plays his own game and doesn’t try to outdrive everybody, which is another test of being mentally strong. “I know that on long holes I’m going to have to use my short game. While others are hitting short irons in, I am hitting hybrids in,” said Castiglia. “I have to play my own game. I am starting to hit the ball farther, but I know I’m still going to be 30 yards behind everybody else. I can’t play anybody else’s game other than my own.” Arapahoe senior David Packer tied for fifth in last fall’s Class 5A state championship tournament and has a unique way of erasing bad thoughts. “When I was younger, I used to hold onto a bad shot or a bad hole for a long time,” Packer said. “You’ve got to learn one shot at a time, forget the previous shot. I tend to think of a song I heard on the road driving to the course and try to run that through my head between shots, instead of thinking about golf 24/7 on the course. Overthinking is definitely bad.”

A course is a course, of course — not so fast In Colorado high school cross-country, a variety of surfaces challenge runners
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com High school cross-country athletes who like variety are happy to be running in Colorado. Course surfaces in the state include grass, dirt, cinder, concrete and asphalt. Some are relatively flat, while others feature inclines. Some have water crossings. “Cross-country in other states is like on golf courses,” said Paxton Smith, a senior for defending 5A champion Mountain Vista. “That’s where a lot of races are held. A lot of that is because it’s fast. Golf courses are fast on that nice true grass. “In Colorado, you don’t see that very often. There are races on grass — they are there — but somewhere else you would race on grass courses every week. You can race with spikes on grass. Here in Colorado, we race a lot more on dirt and concrete. You can’t run in spikes. The thing with dirt, when you have a couple hundred kids out there, running it gets dusty. Sometimes, dirt can be slow.” One of the most unique courses in the state is at deKoevend Park in Centennial, where the Arapahoe Warrior Invitational is held. Runners start on grass and run along the High Line Canal trail. There is a little cement, plus two water jumps, during the race, which will be Sept. 4 this season. Last season after heavy rains, runners had trouble crossing the rising water in Little Dry Creek. “It’s a unique course because we do have water crossings at two different points,” said Arapahoe girls coach Jeff Krause. “Last year, we pretty much had a flash flood before the race, so the water
At last year’s Arapahoe Warrior Invitational at deKoevend Park in Centennial, heavy rains swelled the flow in the High Line Canal, transforming the traditional water jump into a thigh-deep wade through rushing water. File photo was about chest deep on some of the kids as they went in. It was pretty memorable for them.” Many runners rank it as one of the most difficult courses in Colorado. “There’s pretty much a little bit of everything in the course,” said Cherry Creek senior Lilly Markusch. “It has a couple hills, so it is kind of hard. It’s a fun course because you get to jump in the water, which is kind of cool.” With the diversity of courses in Colo-
rado, times can be irrelevant — tougher tracks yield slower times, while easier courses make for a faster pace. “I never worry too much about times in cross-country,” said Smith. “It’s nice to have quick times, but I definitely worry more about that during the track season. It’s all place in cross-country. That’s what colleges care about — that’s what wins team titles and that’s what matters.” Many runners cite the course for the state meet at Norris-Penrose Events Cen-
ter in Colorado Springs as another of the toughest. It features a challenging hill and a creek crossing. Cherry Creek senior Katie Plomondon is among those who say the course is daunting, but she also agrees the time it takes to traverse a track is less important than where you finish in the pack. “We don’t really worry about time,” she said, “unless we are running on a real fast course and we are running for a specific time and not place.”
Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF AUG. 10, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Avoid adding to the tension around you. Even a well-meant reaction against something you perceive as unfair could be misunderstood. Let things calm down, and then talk about it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good time for romance for unattached Bovines, and a good time for reinforcing the bonds between partners. Children’s needs are important during the latter part of the week. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A compliment from a surprising source sends you wafting way up into the clouds, where -- sorry to say -- your view of what’s going on is obscured. Come on down and face some reality. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Even a family-loving person like you sometimes can feel you’re at the end of the line with contentious kinfolk. But things can work out. Remember that it’s better to talk than walk. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A job-related move might hold more positive surprises than you’d expected. Go into it with confidence, and look for all the advantages it offers. Then decide what you’ll do with what you find. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Driving yourself too hard to get something done on a deadline you set up can backfire. Ease into a more realistic finish date, and add more breaks to your work schedule. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your sense of humor can brighten any dark period, and your laughter can dispel those gray clouds swirling around you. The weekend presents a surprising but welcome change. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Be careful about the words you use, especially in touchy situations. The old Chinese saying that the spoken word is silver, but the unspoken gold could well apply here. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Some facts could emerge to shed light on unresolved past problems. What you learn also might help explain why a once-warm relationship suddenly cooled down.
Super Crossword & Sudoku Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Don’t let your pride get in the way of checking into what could be a great new opportunity. Get the facts first, and worry about procedure and protocol later. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A health problem in the family might have other relatives assuming that, as before, you’ll take over the health-care duties. Surprise them and insist they share in the caretaking. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A series of changes can be unsettling, but in the long run, it can pay off with new perspectives on what you plan to do. Keep your mind open to the possibilities that might well lie ahead.

The public review and comment period for the assessment began July 29 and will continue through Sept. 11. The complete document also is available in electronic format on the CDOT website, where comments can be submitted. In addition to the publications, a public hearing will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. on Aug. 26 at the Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., for everyone to weigh in on the project. The hearing will be a drop-in, open house format with a formal presentation at 6 p.m. by project team members to answer questions. For those interested in making a statement about the project, a court reporter will be available to record comments for the official transcript of the meeting. Par-
playoffs.” In last season’s opening round of the 32-team playoffs, the average winning margin was 25.9 points, which included a 51-point win and two 41-point romps. The victory margin was 24.6 in the round of 16, but narrowed after that and included Cherry Creek’s 25-24 win over Valor Christian in a classic championship game. “With the playoffs dropping to 16 teams, that gives more of a reward for making the playoffs and should eliminate
some of the blowouts we have had in the past,” said Rock Canyon coach Brian Lamb. The RPI system will be used in a realignment attempt to balance leagues. The extra regular season game could allow for schools to retain traditional rivalry games in the new alignments. The alignment will be used in an attempt to balance leagues and avoid creating conferences like the current Centennial League, which has some of the most talented teams in 5A.
Teams will be ranked based upon twoyear RPI averages. With 42 teams expected for the 2016-18 cycle, the top seven teams will be placed in separate leagues. The extra regular-season games will allow teams to continue natural rivalries like Ralston Valley-Pomona, ThunderRidge-Mountain Vista, Legend-Chaparral, Douglas County-Castle View and Columbine-Chatfield if the teams wind up in different leagues.
ticipants also will have the opportunity to fill out comment forms that can be turned in to designated comment boxes. “This is a chance for everybody from the public to learn about the proposed project. It’s a great way for everybody to come and talk with members and provide feedback,” CDOT Environment Program Manager Jon Chesser said. “It’s really key people come.” Chesser said the project is “pretty big.” The new tolled lane will extend in each direction between Interstate 25 and Kipling Parkway, with a second tolled express lane westbound between I-25 and Lucent Boulevard, and eastbound between Broadway and I-25. “These new lanes, plus new auxiliary lanes where warranted, would supplement the existing non-tolled general purpose lanes. The project also includes pavement reconstruction, alignment improvements and direct-connect ramps at the C-470 and I-25 interchange,” CDOT’s
release said. Chesser said it’s all about giving the driver options. CDOT is recommending a toll lane to give drivers an option, as the toll lane would be something someone traveling would choose to use and pay for, if wanting to get to their destination more efficiently or to avoid traffic. He said quite a bit of research has been done for those wanting CDOT to do something about noise mitigation on C-470. “We’ve all talked to people in affected areas and listened to what recommendations they had. This meeting is another chance for people to weigh in on CDOT’s conclusion of that. A lot of taxpayer dollars are being spent on this. I live in Highlands Ranch and use C-470 every day. I like to know where my money is going and how it’s spent. People need to know how this is going to affect them individually, as well as how it affects the community on a regional scale,” Chesser said.
Wendy Holmes, Douglas County’s director of public affairs, agreed. If the community doesn’t go online and give comments, or go to the Aug. 26 meeting — that’s it. This is one of the last public outreaches CDOT is conducting for this project, she said, “Have your voice be heard.” Denver resident and Aurora college student Jessica Walsh was at the Highlands Ranch Library studying and said she had no clue about the public access to the assessments. “The information is out there, but we don’t know how to find it easily. You know they have two seasons in this state — winter and construction. It feels like this construction never ends here and it affects my everyday commute. Hopefully people will go to the meeting and read up on this,” Walsh said.
