Council moves forward on quiet zone Castle Rock will look at option of closing Second Street crossing By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com An average of 30 to 40 trains run through Castle Rock each day, and residents in the Craig and Gould neighborhood are tired of being woken up in the middle of the night to the piercing sound of the train horn. But a quiet zone, which would silence the train as it passes, could be in the near future for downtown Castle Rock. During the Nov. 17 council discussion, council voted 6-0 to direct town staff to
research the option of closing the Second Street rail crossing to establish the quiet zone. Councilman George Teal was absent from the meeting. “I think that we can all agree that a quiet zone makes sense,” said Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donahue, adding that council would like to hear feedback from the community in regards to the options. Four methods can be used to establish a quiet zone. The first and safest method, which was considered by previous councils, is to install four quadrant gates at each crossing — Second, Third and Fifth streets. This option costs approximately $800,000. But in his presentation to staff Nov. 17, Director of Public Works Bob Goebel
‘I think that we can all agree that a quiet zone makes sense.’ Paul Donahue, Castle Rock mayor presented another option: closing the Second Street crossing only. By doing so, Castle Rock could pursue the second method of creating a quiet zone, which
Final vote on the 2016 budget scheduled for Dec. 1 By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com
The town has 22 snowplows that work more than 600 lane miles. Here’s what that means for roads in Castle Rock: During all snow events, main thoroughfares and school bus routes are the town’s main priority and are always plowed. (This may explain why your neighbor’s street gets plowed and your street does not.) From Nov. 15 to March 15, when days are shorter and temperatures are cooler,
The Castle Rock Senior Center could get $18,000 more than it would have for its 2016 transportation program to fill gaps created by a decrease in money from other agencies. When discussing the proposed 2016 budget at the Nov. 3 council meeting, town council added an additional $18,000 to the transportation fund for the senior center’s program. “They’re able to stretch a dollar like there’s no tomorrow,” Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donahue said about the senior center. “When I look at the $18,000 for them, I think it’s perfectly appropriate that we move forward with that.” The additional money will help the center fill gaps in its transportation budget caused by a decrease in funds from the Denver Regional Council of Government and the absence of a Community Development Block Grant, a program in which the town decided not to participate in for 2016. “We — the center and our seniors — are really are grateful to the town for their continued support,” said Debbie Haynie, executive director of the Castle Rock Senior Center. But some line items in the proposed 2016 budget raised questions from council members. One was $250,000 to continue the enhancement of the Starlighting decorations program. “We’re trying to be fiscally responsible and, while lighting is nice, it’s that. It’s nice,” Councilman Chip Wilson said. “It doesn’t provide outstanding public health or safety.

Castle Rock manages first snowfall By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com With more than a foot of snow reported Nov. 17, Castle Rock was among the hardest hit during winter storm Ajax, the first named winter storm of the season. But the town was ready. “The storm was predicted accurately by meteorologists, and we were prepared for it,” said Bob Goebel, director of public works. “We typically have some areas of concern when residents aim snow blower chutes back into the center of the street rather than on their lawn areas. This causes snowpack and ice to develop in the lanes that were just safely opened and requires us to return and re-plow these areas to maintain a safe lane for emergency response.”

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP Do not place snow from driveways, sidewalks or private property into the street. This is to ensure public safety vehicles can travel all roads. Pile snow onto turf areas for winter
watering. Property owners are legally required to clear sidewalks adjacent to their property within 48 hours after 2 inches of snowfall has accumulated.
But Goebel said the only challenge this time was a software issue. Power went out at the public works headquarters, where all snow operations are coordinated. The outage caused the GPS devices on the plows to go out as well. Once power was up and running, snow crews got to work on the roads. Accidents in town were minimal, thanks to drivers who took their time and those who chose to stay home. “Overall, we achieved our goals of safety and mobility,” Goebel said.
Help the Castle Rock Fire Department by shoveling the area around a fire hydrant. In case of emergency, this will help firefighters find hook-ups that may be buried in snow.

GINGER DELGADO Former journalist, dog lover, hiker
About me I was born and raised in Hollywood, California. My mother is from Guayaquil, Ecuador. My father is from Chicago. After college, I dabbled in the entertainment industry for a few years (doesn’t everyone in LA?). I was a production assistant on several Universal feature films, only to realize my heart was in broadcast journalism and I really wanted to be a TV reporter. I landed my first on-air job as a news anchor at the CBS affiliate in Medford, Oregon. From there
I moved on to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and then to Denver, where I worked as a reporter at 9News and FOX31. I left the news business a few years ago to work in public relations. Love my dog and hiking I love to hike and try to hit the trails at the new Philip S. Miller park at least twice a week. I love that place and so does my dog! My next goal is to try the zip lines. Getting outside I’ve lived in Castle Rock for 11 years. I have one daughter in middle school. We really enjoy all the outdoor activities and events Castle Rock has to offer — Starlighting, outdoor movies at Festival Park, Music in the Meadows, etc. Basically, anything that gets me outdoors makes me happy.

District Attorney elected president of state council At the 45th annual conference in Breckenridge earlier this fall, 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler began his term as the Colorado District Attorneys’ Council’s (CDAC) president. In this capacity, Brauchler leads and represents the membership of CDAC, a group of more than 500 prosecutors from throughout the state. He can speak on behalf of the organization regarding legislative matters. The 18th Judicial District includes Douglas, Arapahoe, Elbert and Lincoln counties. “It is a tremendous honor to be able to serve the community and my fellow district attorneys in this leadership capacity,” Brauchler said. “I look forward to furthering this important organization’s presence from the courtrooms to the capitol.” Nominations open for Youth Initiative award Do you know a special teenager between the ages of 13 and 19 who lives in Douglas County, has overcome adversity and created positive change in their lives — as well as the lives of others? Nominations for the 2016 Douglas County Outstanding Youth Awards are now being accepted. Ten award recipients will share their special night with family members, adult supporters and elected officials at an April reception hosted by the Douglas County Youth Initiative at the Douglas County Commissioners Hearing Room in Castle Rock.

“The young people who are recognized with these awards are people who very often have not received public recognition for their personal achievements,” said Douglas County Commissioner David Weaver. “This event not only calls attention to the untold stories of achievement by our community’s youth, it is also an opportunity for area businesses, the community at large, civic leaders and educators to demonstrate their belief in and support of young people in our community by recognizing them for the individual challenges they have overcome.” Award recipients will receive a signed letter from elected officials recognizing the teen’s achievements, a $100 certificate for educational or activity fees to be redeemed at a later date and countywide recognition. For more information, contact Marsha Alston at malston@douglas. co.us or 303-688-4825. Nomination forms may be filled out online or downloaded from the website. The deadline is March 31. Parks and rec earns national accreditation Castle Rock Parks and Recreation recently joined the ranks of the most elite parks and recreation departments across the country by earning accreditation from the Commission for Accreditation of Parks and Recreation Agencies and the National Recreation and Park Association. This is the only national accreditation for park and recreation agencies and is a measure of overall quality of operation, management and service to the community. With this accreditation, the Castle Rock Parks and Recreation Department now ranks among the top 145 parks and recreation agencies in the United States. To maintain the accreditation, the department will need to uphold the accreditation standards by submitting an annual report. The accreditation is also reviewed every five years.

Larsen says farewell to Douglas County School Board Three incumbents were defeated in Nov. 3 vote By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Kevin Larsen took time to reflect on several occasions at his final Douglas County School Board meeting. He said it has been a privilege to serve on the board, calling it “the greatest honor of my life.” Larsen — a board member since 2011 and president since 2013 — lost his District C seat to former teacher Anne-Marie Lemieux in the Nov. 3 election. It was also the last meeting for Richard Robbins, who was defeated by former principal David Ray in District F. Craig Richardson, who lost his District A seat to parent and volunteer Wendy Vogel, did not attend the meeting. The new members will be sworn in at a special meeting Nov. 30. Larsen began his farewell remarks by congratulating the three newly elected board members. “It’s their turn,” Larsen said. “I wish them the very best, wisdom and grace as they take on the many issues with the other four colleagues.” Larsen, 52, and his wife, Cindy, have lived in Highlands Ranch since 1989. Their three daughters each attended Fox Creek Elementary, Cresthill Middle and Highlands Ranch High. Larsen graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a bachelor of science degree in mathematics. He is assistant vice president and actuary with Hannover Life Reassurance Company of America. He has been volunteering his time in the school district for more than 21 years. During his time on the board, Larsen has advocated for
school choice and a pay-for-performance system for teachers and staff. He spoke against the current school funding formulas used by the state. The outgoing president told two personal stories to outline why he believes so strongly in using market-based factors to reward teachers. The first was about his mother, who became a teacher in her early 40s and watched as she made less money than her contemporaries because of her short tenure, despite being honored for her work. The other was about his short time as a math teacher and substitute. He said he always had a latent desire to teach and even considered making a permanent career change before deciding against it because of the difference in pay. “My kids were in eighth, fifth and second grade. I was looking at college and opportunities for them and I made a decision that, in my case, there were significant differences in compensation,” Larsen said. “That’s why I want marketbased pay to be an element of compensating teachers.” On school choice, Larsen said he was proud of the work he did on the board and that he believed it worthy to “always look at the way we can expand school choice.” This includes the Choice Scholarship Program that has been appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has yet to decide if it will take the case. “Our Choice Scholarship Program, whichever way it goes, is going to be on the forefront of how we deliver education,” he said. Larsen said he would volunteer again in the future and would use the holidays to decide what course that would take. He said he was most proud of personally having been to every building in the district. Larsen fondly remembered shadowing teachers and students. He has testified on education bills at the state Capi-

tol and handed his daughter her high school diploma at her commencement ceremony. “I’m going to be doing more work for education,” Larsen said. “ It’s in my blood. It’s my passion.”
Community holds fundraiser in memory of slain student Proceeds from Live for Colin will send homeless students to college By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Community members are holding a fundraiser in memory of Colin Brough, the Castle View High School graduate and dedicated lacrosse player killed in a shooting at Northern Arizona Univer-
sity last month, that will help homeless students. Three other students were wounded in the shooting by another student on Oct. 9 at the Flagstaff university. Initially, the community wanted to raise money to help with unexpected costs, family friend Susan Trost said. But the family had already set up Live for Colin, a fund to send homeless students to college. Instead of accepting funds raised for themselves, they wanted funds raised for scholarships. “Colin and his mom used to pack
lunches to help with homeless kids,” Trost said. “His mom is very active in prison ministry and they were always giving back to the community.” Steve Rago, of Rose’s Bella Cucina in Castle Rock, 3980 Limestone Ave., will donate 15 percent of sales on Dec. 15 for Live for Colin. The restaurant is Brough open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Gift card purchases also will be counted.
In addition, Trost’s Modern Woodmen Chapter will match up to $1,000 raised. A silent auction fundraiser will run through Dec. 1 at Canyon Fitness, 880 W. Happy Canyon Road, where Colin worked as a high school student. On Dec. 2, the silent auction items will be moved to Rose’s for the final hours of 5-8:30 p.m. Donation checks, made out to Live for Colin, can be mailed to Rose’s at 3980 Limelight Ave., Unit A, Castle Rock, Colorado, 80109. Contact Trost at liveforcolin@ gmail.com to donate a silent auction item or with any questions.

Epilepsy hits home for families By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Benjamin Wann was 9 years old when he went into status epilepticus, a constant state of seizing. He was taken to the hospital and prescribed Valium, a sedative drug, to reset his brain’s activity. “He could hardly pronounce Ben, the short version of his name,” said his mother, Amber Wann. “The next couple of months were very hard.” Benjamin, 14, was diagnosed with epilepsy Thanksgiving Day 2004 — he was 3. Epilepsy is a central nervous system disorder that affects the brain’s neurological activity, causing repeated seizures. It is diagnosed by medical history and brain-imaging tests. The types of seizures vary from grand mal — unconsciousness and convulsions — to absence seizures, brief lapses of consciousness. The Epilepsy Foundation reports more than 2 million people in the United States have the disorder and one in 26 people will develop it in his or her lifetime. November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month, represented by a purple ribbon. And two Highlands Ranch families affected by the disorder are working to increase awareness in the community. Benjamin, an eighth-grader at Cresthill Middle School, tested positive for a rare gene, GRIN 2A, that is linked to epilepsy. In his younger years, he experienced complex partial seizures that appeared as twitching or head nodding. Benjamin and his twin, Bonnie, are the youngest of four children. His parents, Brad and Amber, say the disorder is a large part of the family’s life. Benjamin’s seizures were unexpected. He would play with a puzzle and his head would slowly start to fall, or he would suddenly start twitching, said Amber. And sometimes he would fall asleep after a seizure because his brain was exhausted, she added. Benjamin’s outlook on his disorder remains positive. “It’s hard, but you get used to it,” he said. He limits stress by playing video games, reading and running cross country at school. For years, Amber fought for Benjamin to be on the least medication possible because of the way his body reacted, she said. “It’s not because I didn’t trust the doctors,” she said. “But the side effects of the medications were much more detrimental than the seizures.” The family went through a period when the recommended medication, Valium, gave Benjamin extreme behavioral swings, such as rage, and interfered with his memory. “It affects the entire family equally,” Amber Wann said, “because we all witness it.”
In the midst of navigating her son’s disorder, Amber Wann reached out to Highlands Ranch resident Julie Hutchison, who started the Chelsea Hutchison Foundation after — she lost her 16-year-old daughPeople in the world ter in 2011 to epilepsy. have epilepsy “Chelsea was wise beyond her years,” Hutchison said. “To — say it was shocking is a comPeople in the United plete understatement.” States have epilepsy A strobe light at Chelsea’s 11th birthday party caused — Of people her first seizure.

On a morning 4 ½ years ago, Chelsea’s father, Doug, went downstairs to wake her up for her dose of medication.

After their daughter’s death, Julie and Doug started the Chelsea Hutchison Foundation to help individuals with epilepsy. They’ve provided 319 monitors and 84 seizureresponse dog grants to families in 26 states, Julie Hutchison said. The primary types of monitors are Emfit, a mattress pad that detects sleeping behavior; SAMi, a sleep activity camera; and SmartMonitor, a watch that detects irregular movement. Each device serves as alarm system that triggers if someone experiences an unexpected seizure. And seizure-response dogs are trained to identify signs of a seizure and alert help, or even flip the person on his or her side. The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation also hosts fundraising events, such as Stomp community walks and an annual spring gala. In early November, the foundation organized a

The foundation provided Benjamin Wann with a SAMi when he was having repeated seizures. It’s been four years since Benjamin’s last seizure, Amber Wann said. He’s able to be a kid again: He’s picked up pack burro racing, a footrace led by a donkey. And he runs cross country at school. Community resources, such as the Chelsea Hutchison Foundation and the Epilepsy Foundation Colorado, are key to helping families understand and live with the disorder, those affected say. The Epilepsy Foundation Colorado takes more than 1,500 calls annually from people with uncontrolled seizures who need help, executive director Gail Pundsack wrote in an email. “Together, we need to raise public awareness and reduce stigma,” she added. “We need more programs and services for people living with epilepsy and we need significantly more research to end epilepsy.”

Crave Burgers — inspired by owner’s children — opens in LoDo This is fourth location for owner and Castle Rock resident Jeff Richard By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Castle Rock resident Jeff Richard started Crave Real Burgers, it was at the urging of his children. As a family, they watched “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” on the Food Network and the Richard children had the urge to eat at “one of those crazy burger places.” When Richard told them there wasn’t a place like that in the area, their solution was that their father, who owns the fine-dining restaurant The Old Stone Church, open one. “I went back to The Church and started talking to the guys about the idea,” Richard said of his kitchen staff at the Castle Rock landmark eatery. “We did a lamb burger and a duck burger and did everything-on-top of the burger. We started experimenting and everything we were doing we were having a blast with. And it was delicious.” Shortly after, Richard stopped cooking at his fine-dining restaurant to focus on burgers. On July 4, 2010, he and his wife, Jeryn, opened the first Crave Real Burgers at 3982 Limelight Ave., in Castle Rock. “Fine dining targets the top 5 percent income,” Richard said. “Our philosophy
is to cater to the 95 percent and do finedining texture-and-flavor combinations, but on a burger.” Some of those fine-dining flavors include The Wise Guy burger, which is topped with crispy mozzarella cheese, prosciutto, fresh basil, tomato and onion drizzled with balsamic, olive oil and pesto. It’s a play on the Caprese. “We want to do something different,” Richard said, adding that most burgers are a play on a classic appetizer. “Everybody does a burger, but not everybody does a good burger. We want you to walk in and say, ‘Wow.’” Five years after Richard and his team put this philosophy into play in Castle Rock, he has opened Crave’s fourth location — in Denver. The LoDo eatery, which opened Oct. 20, is on Blake Street near the 16th Street Mall. The other locations are in Highlands Ranch and Colorado Springs. “We’re just listening to people that tell us to open in different areas,” Richard said. “We wanted to be in the middle of the foodies down here.” Although the top-ordered burger when most locations opened was the Plain Jane — a traditional burger with lettuce, tomato and onion — the most frequently sold burger at the LoDo location is the Sin City, which comes with crispy tempura-fried white cheddar, bourbon-glazed onions, candied bacon, avocado and lettuce. “We love everything we do and we love the interaction with our customers,”

residents can expect plows to clear one emergency lane on neighborhood streets when 4 inches of snow or more is expected to accumulate on roads. Throughout the rest of the year, that threshold is 8 inches. Castle Rock Parks and Recreation chips in, too, removing snow from paved trails when snow reaches 2 inches of accumulation.

times are more defined. Residents responsibilities in a snowstorm include refraining from unnecessary travel; removing vehicles parked on the street, if possible; and yielding to snow plow drivers. If a vehicle must remain parked on the street, residents should ensure it is legally parked and close to the curb. Once snow removal is completed, the town’s focus turns to ice, for which the town has a large ice-breaking machine and a plan. Busiest intersections are first, followed by streets pedestrians use most, such as school and walking routes. Then, as time and conditions allow, they head into neighborhoods. The town first implemented its snow plan in 2008 with the goal to provide both safety and mobility to residents. “I don’t believe anything needs to change,” Goebel said. “I’m thankful to our snow teams for a successful run.”

medians and accesses at Fifth Street and a “No Train Horn” warning sign would be added to Third Street. This option could cost as little as $10,000 and be implemented sooner than the other options. “This, to me, is really cool that we’ve come up with an option that would require $10,000 to close Second Street and we have no maintenance,” Donahue said. “This overcomes all the arguments that I’ve been hearing in terms of cost.” This option was not considered in the past because fire and police departments worried about emergency-response time. According to Goebel, response time is still a concern for the fire department, but the police department now feels it can provide adequate response times. Is cheap the best? But residents argue that this inexpensive

That means that town property taxes on a $300,000 home would go down to about $35 a year from the previous $40. The second reading and final vote on the proposed budget is scheduled for Dec. 1. The mill levy will also be set as part of the final vote.
solution may not be the best. “Currently, the morning rush hour of cars waiting for a train can extend past Cantril,” said Janet Confer, who lives at Third and Cantril. “Those lines will double in size if Second is closed. This should be very interesting when Third is snow-packed and they are forced to stop on the hill.” As part of his motion, the mayor also directed staff to start a traffic analysis and collect input on how this would affect the community there. Staff estimated the traffic analysis will be complete by January. “Cheaper is not always going be better,” resident Carolyn Cline told council. “We are talking about the health and the safety and the traffic flow of this city. I urge you to consider the best option, which may not be the cheaper option.” Quiet zone history The quiet zone issue was first discussed by Castle Rock Town Council in February 2007.

Gaining traction “At least there is some traction now,” said Steve Williams, who has been outspoken on the need for a quiet zone. “The four-quadrant gate system is acknowledged to be the best and safest solution, as well as being the most costly. It is still the solution I favor and one that the town can afford, especially with Douglas County funding assistance.” Douglas County recently partnered with Castle Pines Village and Sedalia to implement a quiet zone on the west end of Castle

budget, it placed the quiet zone on hold. In 2010, after a year’s worth of research, council decided not to pursue the project. In 2012, council discussed restarting the project in 2014, pending budget approval. But in November 2013 council deferred consideration of the project, and the next month formally removed it from the 2014 budget. The council again removed the project from the 2015 budget. The issue was resurrected after residents spoke out about the issue and a story ran in the News-Press about how the train noise affects them.

Rock. The county paid hald the expenses. Some residents see hypocrisy in council’s spending actions with the decision to explore the cheapest option. “Council calls for fiscal responsibility but are willing to drop an extra $106,000 on a one-night event — Starlighting,” said Anne Dorzweiler after the meeting. “Then they balk at spending for a safety quality-of-life issue that will be in effect 365 days a year. They are spending $800,000 — a comparable price to quadrant gates at all three crossings — on golf course improvements. Residents want even-handedness in spending as this is their tax money, too.” Councilman Chip Wilson, who has fought for the quiet zone since he ran for office in 2008, said he was encouraged by the progress made at the Nov. 17 meeting. “Your voices were heard over and over again,” Wilson told residents at the meeting. Mayor Donahue said he sees this as a way forward for council. “I’m excited to have a way forward that I think all the residents of Castle Rock can embrace,” he said.

Parker Adventist now certified to treat major head, spine injuries
TRAINING
The Aurora—South Metro SBDC helps existing and new businesses grow and prosper through workshops and consulting.
By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Following a recent designation as a Level-2 trauma center, Parker Adventist Hospital is poised to save more lives of critically-injured patients. The jump from Level 3 to 2 means Parker Adventist can now treat patients with major spinal cord and head injuries. It means having trauma surgeons present 24 hours a day and an operating room ready to go at a moment’s notice. Historically, patients had to be taken to Level-2 trauma centers like Littleton Adventist or Porter Adventist, and because of worsening traffic congestion, “it’s getting harder and harder to get there in a timely fashion,” said Dr. Chris Winter, the director of trauma services at Parker Adventist. The move to the new status was an arduous, two-yearplus journey that required extensive education, the hiring of more employees and, on Sept. 17, a visit from a team of surveyors who ensured that all proper components were in place. The criteria for Level-2 status are set by the state department of health and the American College of Surgeons. For the hospital, which continues to see the population grow around it, the effort is expected to pay off. Attaining Level-2 status will result in a significant difference in patient outcomes, said Heather Tiftickjian, director of emergency, trauma, critical care and respiratory services at the hospital. “Now we will be a closer receiving facility for patients in the eastern corridor because (EMS units are) supposed to go to the closest one,” she said. “Before they were having to drive past Sky Ridge and Parker, or drive to the Medical Center of Aurora, and that can be quite a drive, especially in traffic.” A patient in Kiowa with a spinal cord injury, for example, will be flown by helicopter and receive treatment much quicker than before. And a patient who suffers severe head trauma in an accident on South Parker Road near Franktown would be transported via ambulance. Sky Ridge Medical Center, which opened in Lone Tree in 2003, months before Parker Adventist, also was recently certified as a Level-2 trauma center. The bolstered capabilities at Parker Adventist are most noticeable in the emergency department, operating room, intensive care unit and surgical floor. Improvements were also made in neurosurgery and orthopedics, and there were “across-the-board” staffing increases, Winter said. Parker Adventist will not seek Level-1 status, which en-

Dr. Chris Winter, director of trauma services at Parker Adventist Hospital, helped oversee the preparation for becoming a Level-2 trauma center. Courtesy photo tails creating an academic institution and performing medical research. A combination of improvement goals from hospital administrators and feedback from emergency room employees and emergency services partners like South Metro Fire Rescue prompted the change in trauma level. “They said, ‘We need this kind of resource closer to this body of patients,’” Winter said, who coordinated the supplemental education for staff and determined the specific services needed to meet Level-2 trauma center standards. Parker Adventist is expecting 180 more admissions per year because of the designation. The hospital will undergo a reverification process in 18 months, and every three years after that. Achieving and maintaining Level-2 status is a large financial undertaking and there are no grants available to help cover expenses. But responding to the rise in population, bettering the quality of treatment, and improving accessibility and response times will be worth it. It’s a “commitment the hospital wanted to make… regardless of the cost,” Tiftickjian said. While the new designation is a crowning achievement for the 11-year-old facility, there is more work to be done. “Getting ready is one thing, but delivering that care and keeping the level of excellence going, that’s when the real work begins,” Winter said. “We have to make sure we’re doing all of the things we said we were going to do.”

Bill bans moves of detainees, but issue may not be settled Guantanamo still hot topic despite congressional action
By Deb Riechmann Associated Press Congress sent President Barack Obama a $607 billion defense policy bill on Nov. 10 that bans moving Guantanamo Bay detainees to the United States — a transfer that Obama has been trying to do since he was sworn in as president. The Senate’s 91-3 vote gave final legislative approval to the measure. The House overwhelmingly passed it the week before, 370-58. Obama does not like the Guantanamo provisions, but White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Obama would sign the bill. However, the debate over whether Obama has the power to move Guantanamo detainees to the United States — and
possibly to Colorado — is not settled. “The president believes closing that prison is a national security priority. The president is not the only person that shares that view,” Earnest said, citing former secretaries of state who served in both Republican and Democratic administrations. Earnest said that Obama’s decision to sign the bill — because it includes provisions that are important to running and protecting the country — does not change his position about wanting to close the prison. Obama vetoed an earlier version of the defense policy bill over a dispute, later resolved, about whether defense spending increases should be accompanied by boosts in domestic programs. Among other things, the bill would: • Provide a 1.3 percent pay increase to service members and a new retirement option for troops. • Authorize lethal assistance to Ukraine

Florida, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Ted Cruz of Texas did not vote. The legislation has become a lightning rod for debate over whether the president needs congressional approval to move some of the remaining 112 detainees from the U.S. detention center in Cuba to the United States, or if he could do it with an executive order. Congress has repeatedly thwarted Obama’s effort to fulfill a 2008 campaign promise and close the military prison. A Pentagon report expected as early as this week identifies prisons in Colorado, Kansas and South Carolina where Guantanamo detainees could possibly be housed so the military prison in Cuba could be shut down. That has raised the ire of lawmakers, especially those from the three states. White House press secretary Josh Earnest hinted earlier this month that the

forces fighting Russian-backed rebels. • Extend a ban on torture to the CIA. • Authorize the president’s request of $715 million to help Iraqi forces fight Islamic State militants. “We all know the unfortunate and unnecessary roadblocks the defense authorization bill has faced this year. We all know that the president decided to veto the version of this bill we passed last month,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky. “We look forward to the president signing the bipartisan bill — along with its restrictions against bringing terrorists into the United States — into law,” he said. Three senators — Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden, both Democrats from Oregon, and Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont — voted against the defense bill. GOP Sens.

Colorado sheriffs, including Arapahoe’s, oppose Guantanamo transfers Letter argues that action could put state in danger
By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press Forty sheriffs in Colorado, including Arapahoe County Sheriff David Walcher, wrote to the White House to oppose any plan to move detainees from the detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to

president might use his executive authority to close the prison. On Nov. 9, Earnest said the White House is focused on working with Congress to shut down Guantanamo, but he left the door open on the
prisons in the state. The sheriffs argued in the letter sent Nov. 9 that Colorado would be in danger if the Pentagon sends Guantanamo detainees to either of two prisons under consideration in the central part of the state. Although the prisons are capable of securing the detainees, the action would attract “sympathizers who would mount an attack ... or commit other acts of terror,” the lawmen wrote. “We believe it would be dangerously naive not to recognize that a civilian
prison with an untold number of enemy combatant inmates, located in our state, would provide a very tempting target for anyone wishing to either free these detainees or simply wishing to make a political statement,” the sheriffs wrote. The letter was signed by the majority of Colorado’s 64 sheriffs, including Fremont County Sheriff James Beicker. His county includes the two facilities under consideration, Colorado State Penitentiary II and the Federal Correctional Complex, known as Supermax.
Supermax already houses some of the country’s most dangerous criminals, including Unabomber Ted Kaczynski and Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Terrorists such as Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person convicted in civilian court of the Sept. 11 attacks, and Ramzi Yousef, mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, also reside there. The Pentagon also is looking at sites in Kansas and South Carolina for its proposal to move some Guantanamo detainees.
president taking executive action. “I’m not aware of any ongoing effort to devise a strategy using only the president’s executive authority to accomplish this goal,” Earnest said. “But I certainly wouldn’t, as I mentioned (previously), take that option off the table.” The facilities reviewed by a Pentagon assessment team were the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks and Midwest Joint Regional
Corrections Facility at Leavenworth, Kansas; the Consolidated Naval Brig, Charleston, South Carolina; the Federal Correctional Complex, which includes the medium, maximum and “Supermax” facilities in Florence, Colorado; and the Colorado State Penitentiary II in Canon City, Colorado, also known as the Centennial Correctional Facility. The Senate also passed, 93-0, legisla-
tion that provides money to the Defense Department for military construction, military family housing, base closures and the Department of Veterans Affairs. Like the defense bill, the measure, which was headed to the president, also prohibits the administration from renovating, expanding or constructing facilities in the United States to house detainees from Guantanamo Bay.

Life’s a handful, and so are pills Every other day I take nine pills. I am supposed to take nine pills every day, but I can’t face the music. Some of them are as big as thimbles. Seven of the pills are vitamins, one is a baby aspirin, and one is no bigger than a dot. I take it for hypothyroidism. I don’t even know what hypothyroidism is. I am too lazy to find out. Maybe laziness is a sign of hypothyroidism. Until recently, I had never taken pills. Except now and then after some extensive dental work, like an implant, like laser surgery, like an extraction. I took a red One-a-Day vitamin when I was a kid, nothing through college, or 30 years of teaching. However, I have begun to become more mindful, now that I realize my final cab ride might not be that far off. I don’t want to live as long as my mother and father did. They wound up broken and bent and disassociated. I think a third of the programming on television is devoted to improving your health. A lot of it is shown in the middle of the night, when I am up and about. Most of the time they are either jumping up and down or drinking something that is thick and green. It’s never blue. Maybe if you were to drink something blue, it would give you the blues?
I prefer blue to green all the way around. But I guess green is the color of money, isn’t it? Color is very important to me, right down to tints, tones and shades. That’s why I paid rapt attention when Craig Marshall Smith Kathy came to our table at the reunion QUIET said, “You beDESPERATION and long in yellow.” No, actually I don’t. But I was all ears. Kathy had been an egghead in high school. But she was no longer anywhere near that. She was a bombshell. “I wear the right colors,” she said, when I asked her what had happened. (I think she noticed that my mouth fell open when she sat down.) She’s a professional color consultant. I didn’t even know they existed. They are trained to be able to tell you what colors to wear for the best results. What colors to paint your office walls to increase sales. What color your dog should be. They are especially helpful if you don’t
have a mind of your own. Many people don’t. Around here a lot of people wear orange. Three guesses. I don’t think anyone should wear orange unless they are in prison. Back to those pills. I don’t take them all at once. Maybe I should. If I miss a day, I don’t notice anything. I don’t start to stumble, slur or sing like Perry Como. If something were different, an obvious improvement of some kind, I would lap them up. I am not a better painter or writer when I take them, or a better father. Maybe I am and I just don’t know it. I do know that if I look at a 5-year-old column that there are differences, but that has nothing to do with these pills. You either improve or you don’t. The minute that I sense that I am going downhill, I will hang up my Webster’s. Perhaps the pills just make up for the fact that I eat like a viaduct pigeon and exercise like an end table. Maybe I should put the pills in a blender with some green stuff. Turn it into a smoothie. There you go. Just don’t take away my bacon. Say what?

WINNING WORDS
“You cannot consistently perform in a manner which is inconsistent with the way you see yourself.” - Dr. Joyce Brothers I often hear people talk about how successful other people are, but seem to think that they personally struggle to achieve their own success. This happens sometimes because of the way we see ourselves. If we see ourselves as a failure, we are likely to fail. If we see ourselves as a success, we will likely be successful. It starts with becoming your own biggest fan. Now I am not talking about becoming an egomaniac, centered only on yourself, I am just talking about loving yourself enough to see and enjoy the successes that are
in front of you. When you greet yourself each morning in the mirror what do you think? Do you like who you are looking at? Do you avoid looking yourself in the eyes because you don’t like the person looking back at you? Is there something you see that inspires you to become even better? Does your reflection convict you of something you need to change? You have probably heard other people, maybe friends, and possibly even family members, say something like, “I do not like who I have become.” Maybe they are referring to stress levels at home or work that have caused a shift in the way they see themselves and behave. And when they get to that
point, they know that something has to change. And that something that has to change is usually the person. Maybe you are one of those people who sees others as successful. Maybe, just maybe, you can benefit from learning to believe in yourself and seeing yourself as a true success and becoming your own biggest fan. The power of positive self-talk and visualization should not be underestimated. Some people may believe otherwise, but I can share with you that every successful person I have ever met has told me that they use these techniques every day. Some actually have lists of positive words Norton continues on Page 11

uBreakiFix store managed by 22-year-old entrepreneur By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Ingenuity, hard work and a twist of fate have turned Brandon Best into an entrepreneur with limitless potential. Best was working four different jobs at a mall when friends and coworkers found out that he’d fixed his own smartphone. They enlisted Best, then 18, to do the same for them, and before long, his frequent visits to get parts from an electronics repair shop called uBreakiFix got the attention of management. “They pulled me aside and called corporate on me,” he said with a laugh. It was good news. After finding out what Best was up to, they offered him a job, and within two years he was managing a uBreakiFix store in Centennial. Never again would he go back to the fourjob grind. Learning the craft For all of his knowledge of electronics, Best insists he wasn’t a techie growing up. After graduating from Chaparral High School, Best learned coding from his computer scientist dad. Although the rigid nature of programming wasn’t for him, Best’s dad did have an influence on him. “He’s somebody who really likes to buy the new devices and test them out, so I guess I’ve always been exposed to computers,” Best said during an interview Nov. 4 in the repair lab of his own uBreakiFix location in Parker. The shop specializes in same-day repairs for most small electronic devices, with specific expertise in smartphones. uBreakiFix opened Oct. 19 at 11211 Dransfeldt Road, Suite 161, in the SuperTarget shopping center. So how did Best master a trade that

that they believe describe who they are. Words and statements such as: a person of character, a great dad, a wonderful mom, a loyal employee, a strong leader are not only used as mental motivation, but many people actually say them out loud as they greet themselves in the mirror, while driving, during a workout and at other times throughout the day. And when it comes to seeing success, they actually visualize what that success looks like. They see themselves 20 pounds lighter, they see that promotion, they see a happier and healthier relationship, and they see themselves owning their own business. The list is endless, and success is different for everyone and defined and driven by our own goals and dreams. So how about you? Are you your own biggest fan? Do you like who you are or is there something that has to change? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we do become our own biggest fan, it really will be a better than good week.
Michael Norton is a resident of Highlands Ranch, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation and the CEO/founder of www.candogo.com. has made him a business owner at the young age of 22? Video tutorials he watched for free online. He learned how to dissect and diagnose, and even though electronics repair might seem like a cutand-dried activity, Best considers what he does “a mixture of science and art.” Mining talent Robert Viator, who owns two uBreakiFix stores in the Denver area, has no regrets about making Best his manager in Centennial when the up-and-comer was just 20 years old.

LIFE Building hope at Pine Ridge LOCAL
FA I T H HEALTH CULTURE FA M I L Y FOOD

Coloradans aim to inspire Lakota Nation youth through the creative arts By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com
L
ittleton resident Scott Norby and his wife, Joie, along with their three children, are just one family trying to make a difference on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. “I always have faith that I’m supposed to go there,” Scott Norby said, “that I’m being called there.” Norby visited the reservation for the first time in 2011 with his friend, Denver-resident Brad Corrigan, of the indie band Dispatch. “When I first went, at the end of the day I was just exhausted and really, really sad,” he said. “After stepping away, I became inspired to want to do something.” Since then, the Norbys started a nonprofit, Friends of the Lakota Nation, and have been back for several trips working alongside the nonprofit Love, Light and Melody; artist Patrick Maxcy; Dave Matthews Band members; Corrigan and Dispatch band members; Amplifying Education volunteers; Colorado Rapids player Pablo Mastroeni; and the Golden High School Key Club. The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation has the shortest life expectancy of any group in the Western Hemisphere — approximately 47 years for males and 52 years for females — according to the U.S. Census. The infant mortality rate is five times the national average and the adolescent suicide rate is three times the average. Members of the reservation suffer from a disproportionately high rate of poverty and alcoholism. Homelessness is at 30 percent and unemployment at 80 to 90 percent. Sioux Indians in South Dakota have the poorest health of any minority group in the United States. The statistics go on and on.
HOW TO GIVE Friends of the Lakota Nation has two ways to give: an Amazon Toy Drive wish list and through monetary donations made through PayPal. Monetary donations will be used to purchase creative arts supplies for the workshops so teens can continue to express themselves through the arts. Both the wish list and PayPal donations can be accessed through friendsoflakota.org.
Scott Norby, dressed as Santa, gives gifts to children at the reservation. But the question asked by Friends of the Lakota Nation is: “How can we help?” “You can go through all the facts,” said Ingrid Schneider, a Denver resident who visits the reservation monthly. “But what are we doing around the country, as a society of people, to step up and break poverty? Pine Ridge is a third-world country and it’s six hours from our doorstep in Denver.” Friends of the Lakota Nation has sponsored a Christmas toy giveaway and celebration on the reservation for the past four years. Scott dresses as Santa and his wife wraps 500 to 600 gifts to bring on the trip. “It’s realistically one of the only gifts these kids get,” Scott Norby
said. The toys, Schneider said, are important because of the reservations’ gift-giving culture. But there is more to be done than just give toys to children. “I want those kids to walk away knowing that they are important — that there are people out there that cherish them,” Schneider said. “They don’t always hear that they are worth loving and valued as much as they should.” That’s why when the Norby family, Schneider and other volunteers make the trip to the reservation the weekend of Dec. 5, they will do more than just give gifts. The 2015 Friends of Lakota Nation holiday trip will focus on creative arts and community. The
organization will be teaming with the Oglala Crisis Team by creating a special day for the community to get involved in arts-based workshops that offer classes in music, writing, photography, art and crafts for kids. “Right now, the biggest concern is what’s happening with kids and suicide,” Norby said. “We’re trying to build a community, inspire kids and build hope. If a kid can get inspired to learn music, then they can channel their thoughts through that. The same with art and writing.” The oldest Norby child, Khian, 10, a skilled guitarist, will teach a music class. “For him, it’s really about him being able to inspire the other kids and connect with them,” Norby
said. “It’s cool to set that path for our kids to understand the benefits of giving.” The hope is that some youth on the reservation will be inspired enough to continue expressing themselves through the arts. But the concern is that those inspired won’t have the means to continue because of the lack of proper equipment. “It would be great to give each kid in the music session a decent guitar or a camera to the photography students,” Norby said. “We want to have an impact, but we need support. Really, what makes it work is not one huge contributor, but a whole bunch of people giving a little bit.” Friends of the Lakota Nation hopes to collect monetary donations to purchase guitars, cameras and writing journals. Donations of these items are also welcomed. The toy drive also is happening now and toys will be distributed to children during the Dec. 5 community celebration. “We all have teachers that breathe life into us,” Schneider said. “I just hope that we’re a group of people that can breathe life into those kids by showing them their worth.”

Five artists’ works on display in Lone Tree ‘Running Dialogue’ show features wide diversity By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Since an exhibit at the Madden Museum in 2011, five Colorado artists have exhibited their work together, creating a gallery filled with five different mediums in each case. The quintet, called To Expand, has appeared in Breckenridge, aBuzz Gallery in RiNo, and most recently at Denver International Airport. Their art is in numerous corporate, hospital, hotel and resort collections across the country. During December, the group will exhibit their art in a theatrically named show, “Running Dialogue,” at Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree, with a public reception scheduled on Dec. 5 from 5 to 7 p.m. The exhibit runs until Jan. 3. • Mary Williams, of Castle Rock, creates on wood, inspired by her love of nature, she wrote. She produces sculptures and wall installations designed to appeal to all ages, layering color and sanding parts of it away to create shapes and patterns. She also incorporates epoxy, clay, metals and metal cladding for a finish, calling on a pool of talented fabricators. She hopes her work will bring a smile to the viewer’s face. • Ken Elliott, a pastel and oil painter, also lives in Castle Rock and exhibits in galleries coast to coast. His focus is on landscapes, color and composition, with reference to Impressionist and Modern schools of art. “My focus is the landscape and its rich store of ideas and inspiration. I am compelled to work from the trees, skies, lakes and streams in their endless variations … Fortunately, I’ve learned that what some would call mistakes are part of the creative process. So,
“Long View” by Janice McDonald is a collage on wood panel that will be included in the “Running Dialogue” exhibit opening Dec. 5 at Lone Tree Arts Center. Courtesy photo I try to begin boldly, not worrying about mistakes, using more color than might exist in nature and varying the types of chroma and marks …” Sometimes the process leads to unexpected surprises. • Janice McDonald graduated from Oregon State University with a BFA, then studied collage in the late Dale Chisman’s abstract painting class at the Denver Art Students League and with collagist Jonathan Talbot in New York. Her unusual technique has evolved through many years and under varied influences. She is affiliated with Spark Gallery in Denver. • Victoria Eubanks of Denver has been an award winner in Littleton’s Own an Original show and in Denver’s Plein Air exhibits. She works primarily in encaustic medium, creating commonplace ob-
jects and themes in translucent layers of wax. “Through layers of colors, imagery and texture Victoria allows the mundane to become exotic,” she writes. She has been Artist in Residence in the Breckenridge Art District and taught encaustic at Arapahoe Community College, Breckenridge Arts District and the Denver Art Students League. • Carol Ann Waugh is an awardwinning mixed media fiber artist, who “mixes geometric textures and layer upon layer of complex surface tension. It’s about exploration where unexpected connections and juxtapositions can lead to new ideas and artistic expressions,” she writes on her website. “Carol looks at creating art like living life, each decision made leads to a different future choice. It’s the thread of life decisions that weave

ortilla chips just aren’t the same without salsa, a spicy sauce that has many variations. Many people enjoy store-bought salsa, but home chefs and foodies might want to try their hands at homemade salsa, which can be just as delicious as a restaurant-quality variety. If you like your salsa to come with a little extra kick, consider the following recipe for “Fiery Corn Salsa” from Kelley Cleary Coffeen’s “200 Easy Mexican Recipes” (Robert Rose).

capability that factored into Viator’s decision, not age, and the store became the state’s topgrossing location. He attributes the success to Best’s “go-get-’em attitude.” “He’s not afraid to do something new, and his problemsolving and critical-thinking skills were there,” Viator said. “He’s smart and hard-working, so it made sense to move him up quicker because he was capable of doing the work that was needed.” Aside from knowledge, there was something in Best that Viator said is crucial in a customer
Entrepreneur/techie Brandon Best dissects a smart phone at the uBreakiFix shop at Twenty Mile Road and Dransfeldt Road. Photo by Chris Michlewicz service-based industry: an affable personality. But effectively repairing electronics in a short window of time is also required to keep customers coming back. Best pointed
to a line of voltage controllers, which are used to short out the power supply so he can get a set of numbers that help determine the precise location of each issue. He draws from years of
troubleshooting experience when approaching a problem, but there are a handful of issues out of every 1,000 repairs that stump him. When that happens, Best is not afraid to ask for advice from others or contact the manufacturer. “We’ll find a solution for you if we’re not the solution,” Best said. The typical cost for a fix runs between $50 and $250, far cheaper than replacing a phone. Perhaps the most interesting part of the job is finding out how people broke their phones. Best uses a dehydrator to dry water-damaged phones, and only charges in those cases if he needs to remove corrosion. Smartphone users can probably guess the most common type of repair requested at uBreakiFix. “We get a lot of water damage,

PCs with viruses, charging ports on tablets, but cracked screens are definitely No. 1 for sure,” Best said, adding that curious babies, unruly dogs and butterfingers are often to blame for those. Best hopes to pay off a small business loan within a year or so and will go to college to study molecular biology. He wants to apply phenomena found in nature to medical settings, and excitedly fires off examples of what has been done in the field thus far. It’s an adventure that waits. But for now, Best is establishing himself as an entrepreneur in a fast-expanding, in-demand area of tech commerce. “We try to fix the image of smartphone repair,” he said. “We don’t want it to be out of a trunk or a shady shop.”

SOUTH METRO PLAYERS OF THE YEAR
Switch to singles no problem for Johnson Creek sophomore named Boys Tennis Player of Year By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com It only took Mitchell Johnson one match this season for him to realize he would be OK as a No. 3 singles player. Johnson, a sophomore at Cherry Creek, won the No. 2 state doubles title as a freshman along with Noah Reiss. He took over the No. 3 singles role this season. He compiled a 10-2 record and won the state championship with a 6-3, 7-6 victory over Boulder’s Cutter Esson in the No. 3 singles title match at Gates Tennis Center. Johnson is the 2015 Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Tennis Player of the Year. “My season was great,” said Johnson. “I really enjoyed it. I had a couple losses. I learned from losing while getting better as you go along. I came to state really strong and wasn’t nervous. “First match of the season, I said OK, I can do something. I got better and better.” Creek coach Art Quinn was never concerned about Johnson’s switch from doubles to singles. “He certainly made a great transition,” pointed out Quinn. “He’s very focused and workmanlike in his approach to the game, not only physically but mentally. He’s even-keeled. “Not only is he hard-working on his game six, seven days a week out on the practice court, but it’s not just bigpicture but the details that come along with that, too. He’s just a well-rounded,

Wrestler gains golfing honors Valor’s Welch will join Northern Colorado team By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colby Welch didn’t have to wrestle with many shots during the past high school golf season. The Valor Christian senior had an average season score of 68 and 66.75 in the Jefferson County 4A League tournaments. Welch, who will also compete at 145 pounds on the Eagles wrestling team this season, finished second in the Class 4A state tournament and is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Golfer of the Year. “I just went out and tried to play my best,” said Welch, who will play next year at the University of Northern Colorado. “I had a couple good rounds. I just tried to get better throughout the year. I tried my best to win the state tournament.” Welch was second in the state tournament after rounds of 71 and 69 to finish at even-par 140 and one shot out of first place at Longmont’s Fox Hill Country Club. He led Valor to the school’s sixth state championship in the past seven seasons. His best round of the high school season was a school record 10-under-par 62 during the league tournament at Deer Creek Golf Club “I played really well there,” Welch acknowledged. “I was proud. My whole game came together. Everything was just going my way. I worked with my high school coach (Jason Preeo) a little bit this season. I practiced normal and did everything normal, went out and played, had a good time and played my best.” Preeo raved about Welch. “What Colby did this season was simply amazing, and even with the strong history

we have as a program, he set some new records that may be difficult to beat,” Preeo said. “His 62 at Deer Creek broke his own personal best by three strokes and was two strokes better than our team’s previous low score. “His 66.75 average in our Jeffco League events is a remarkable achievement as well. In leading our team to a state championship he became the only player in our history to be a member of three team state championships and he was an integral contributor in each of them.” Welch has been playing golf and wrestling since he was 4 years old and feels wrestling helps his golf game. “It helps my mental game and strength for golf,” he said. “I have noticed a difference on how far my ball goes after each wrestling season.”

Tennis phenom’s education dream hinges on test Ugandan stays with Parker couple while attending academy
has produced 193 tournament champions in just five years. In the gym where Lutaaya trains twice a day, he is surrounded by photos of the winners. He practices tennis about six hours a day for five or six days a week, and the rest of his time is spent cramming.
By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Teen sports phenoms can have a propensity to think about nothing besides going pro. Not John Lutaaya. He dreams of getting a college education. Tennis, he says, is simply the conduit to get him one. Lutaaya is thousands of miles from home, a necessary move to achieve his goals. The 19-yearold moved from Kampala, Uganda, to the Unites States last year to attend a tennis academy in South Carolina, and when his first sponsorship ran out, Parker resident Ryan Segelke brought him to High Altitude Tennis Academy. The facility near East Parker Road and Tomahawk Road specializes in bringing out the best in junior tennis players, and
Unwavering motivation Lutaaya has a rare opportunity. There is a lot on the line. He took the SAT test twice, and the second time came up 30 points shy of the score needed to secure him a $10,000 tennis scholarship offered by Colorado Christian University. “We haven’t put him in a whole lot of tournaments,” said Michael Farrington, one of his instructors at High Altitude Tennis Academy. “We’ve really been focusing on getting his score higher for the SAT.” With help from Susie Watts, who is tutoring him free of charge, Lutaaya is gaining confidence. He took the test a third time in mid-November

HOW TO HELP Families around the Parker community have rallied around John Lutaaya, providing lodging, clothes, tutoring, friendship and encouragement. To help cover Lutaaya’s living and travel expenses while he chases his tennis dream, High Altitude is utilizing its
nonprofit, The HAT Fund. To donate directly, go to www.razoo.com/ story/Hat-Fund. “I’m really so appreciative,” Lutaaya said of the help he’s received. “They make me feel at home. I’m enjoying every moment I’m living here.”
and should know the result in the first week of December. He also plans to take the SAT again, and try his hand at the ACT in December. “SAT is a nightmare for me,” he said with a laugh. He later added: “I know I’m close. I’m just not so sure how my reading will go.” It’s the reading section that gives him the most trouble, and that’s due in part to the fact that English is not his first language. He needs a total SAT score of 860 to earn the scholarship. He will learn the results of the final tests just before returning to Uganda on Jan. 5. This time, he won’t be returning alone: Segelke and his wife, Leslie, are going with. “I’m so happy they’re coming home,” Lutaaya said. “Most people who try to help people, they don’t really want to bother with what’s going on back home, so they’re doing a great job of finding exactly how I’m living, where my life started, and also meeting my parents.” Solid backing Regardless of how he does on those tests, Segelke says he won’t give up on Lutaaya. The CEO and co-founder of High Altitude calls Lutaaya a “beacon of hope” for a slum in Kampala, the “one kid that got out.” Segelke has heard the stories of Lutaaya’s childhood and is eager to see where it all started. So as not to scuff his “precious” tennis shoes — a commodity in Uganda — Lutaaya would walk several miles in sandals to reach the sports facility where he discovered tennis. He accompanied a friend to play cricket, and by sheer luck was plucked from a crowd and recruited for the International Tennis Federation’s new team. He was 9 years old.
Lutaaya returns a volley Nov. 12.

Proposed league alignments spark debate Class 5A football teams would be placed in new conferences starting next year
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Coaches and administrators are lining up in favor of or opposition to the proposed new Class 5A conference football alignments that were recently announced by the Colorado High School Activities Association. The planned conference placements for the 2016-17 seasons slot 42 teams based on computer rankings from the 2014-15 seasons. The Rating Percentage Index ranks teams based on wins and losses and strength of schedule. Many schools have been busy trying to unofficially line up five nonconference games and one CHSAA official believes the proposed alignments will be passed. The proposed setups could be changed before being voted on at the football committee’s December meeting. Then in January, the alignments would need approval of the CHSAA Legislative Council. A 10th regular season game will be added since the state playoff field will be
Tennis Continued from Page 19
His mother did not have a solid job, and Lutaaya, one of seven children, would set off for the tennis court without knowing whether he would eat lunch. “Sometimes I’ll go with food or money, sometimes I’ll just go hoping to hustle something and survive that day,” he said. After two years of playing for fun,
cut from 32 to 16 teams. The biggest argument in favor of the “waterfall” alignments — which attempt to balance out leagues based on the strength of teams — is more equal competition in the conferences. The cons include travel and stadium availability, and for some of the best teams, a concern that the schedule will actually get weaker. “For us, our strength of schedule will go down because of the teams in our league,” said Jason Wilkins, Cherry Creek High School athletic director. “Because of the formula, there are weaker teams in our league than we would normally schedule.” Derek Chaney, Douglas County School District athletic director, said scheduling games could be a problem for districts using the same venue for several schools. For instance if Mountain Vista, ThunderRidge, Highlands Ranch and Rock Canyon had home games the same week, there could be scheduling conflicts at Shea Stadium. “Sometimes when you think something will pass, you are surprised,” Chaney said. “As Douglas County AD, I don’t like to see our teams split up. So a lot of our schools are playing nonleague games against each other instead of league games. There is definitely more travel involved.”
Ralston Valley Athletic Director Mark Koopman has a problem with using the RPI to shape the proposed leagues and the possible impact of playing “unfamiliar” teams, which could affect gate receipts. “I use Cherry Creek as an example often because of their position and the obvious disparities in their league,” he said. “Cherry Creek is currently listed as the No. 1 team in League A and the next team in their league is number 14. That’s 13 spots that separate the top two teams. “If you look at league G, Columbine is number 7 and Fairview number 8. Only one separates the two, which says this league is more difficult top to bottom.” Koopman claims it will be difficult to prepare teams for the playoffs and interest in games will decline. “Can Cherry Creek expect to prepare for the first round of the playoffs next year by playing teams in their league who did not make it past the round of 16?” he asked. “Lastly, who is going to watch these league games? Our fans and students have no rivalry or little knowledge of three of the five schools in our league. Schools who depend on football gate fee to supplement their school athletic budget are expecting to see a drop in gate receipts.”
Lutaaya realized he was getting better. By age 12, he had become the top player at his academy and won a regional tournament that included players from all over east Africa. When his country could no longer pay the membership fee for the International Tennis Federation, Lutaaya’s coach found his some sponsors. “I was seeing tennis now as something that’s going to take me far,” he said. “I realized the opportunities.”
academy in Nairobi, Kenya, and was jokingly referred to as “the Kenyan” when he returned to his village. But he is a revered presence when he comes back. The kids clamor for his attention and ask advice on how to obtain an opportunity like he did. He provides them with tennis balls, “knowledge, tennis strings — anything I have I just give back.” Lutaaya would pocket roughly half of the per diem given to him in Nairobi and give it to his mother upon returning home. “Most people wouldn’t do that,” Farrington said. “They’d just pocket it.”
Returning home Lutaaya began playing regularly for an
A look at the proposed conferences, with teams’ RPI rankings: Conference A 1. Cherry Creek; 14. Fossil Ridge; 15. Horizon; 26. Denver East; 29. Prairie View; 42. FNE Warriors. Conference B 2. Grandview; 13. Overland; 16. Arapahoe; 27. Doherty; 30. Boulder; 41. Smoky Hill. Conference C 3. Valor Christian; 12. Fountain Fort Carson; 17. Lakewood; 26. Poudre; 31. Legend; 40. Highlands Ranch. Conference D 4. Ralston Valley; 11. Rocky Mountain; 18. Eaglecrest; 25. Rangeview; 32. Castle View; 39. Arvada West. Conference E 5. Pomona; 10. Cherokee Trail; 19. Chaparral; 24. Mountain Vista; 33. Rock Canyon; 38. Aurora Hinkley. Conference F 6. Regis Jesuit; 9. Legacy; 20. Bear Creek; 23. Westminster; 34. Aurora Central; 37. Douglas County. Conference G 7. Columbine; 8. Fairview; 21. Mullen; 22. ThunderRidge; 35. Mountain Range; 36. Northglenn.
Now, with $10,000 hanging in the balance and a chance to attend a respected university, Lutaaya is understandably buckling down. If he passes the SAT, he is considering studying business or sports science and has big aspirations for the future. His prowess on the tennis court is nothing compared to the determination he has to create a better life for himself and his family. “I know one day I’ll be able to go back home, and the only thing I’ll go back home proudly with is those certificates and papers so that I can be respected and looked upon to help around the region,” he said.
Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF NOV. 23, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This year, instead of jumping into the whole holiday prep scene, move in a little at a time. You’ll appreciate the sense of control you’re more likely to enjoy. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The separation between the Bovine’s head and heart is never as far apart as it seems. Both senses work best when they come out of logic and honesty. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The best way to keep those pre-holiday pressures under control is to just say no to taking on new tasks while you’re still trying to work with a heap of others. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) News means a change might be on its way, but what does it hold? Don’t just ask questions; make sure you get answers you can trust. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Old friends and new have one thing in common: Both your longtime and newly minted pals have much wisdom to impart. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) With time running out, this is a good time for you to show ‘em all what those Virgo super-organizational skills can do. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Librans and holidays are made for each other, especially if children and animals are going to be part of your joyous season. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Time is getting too short to allow a spat to taint the holiday season. Restart your relationship and reschedule holiday fun times. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Seeking advice is laudable. You might learn far more than you thought you could. Stay with it. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Continuing to assess changes works toward your getting your new project up and ready. Trusted colleagues remain ready to help. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) That new situation needs a lot of attention, but it’s worth it. This is a very good time for you to involve the arts in what you do.
Super Crossword & Sudoku Answers
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) It might be a good idea to slow your hectic holiday pace so that you don’t rush past what -- or who -- you’re hoping to rush toward.
