$1.5 million project in Castle Rock adds five new suites By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Dancers at the Boutique Dance Academy range in age from 3 to 18 years old. At the showcase, they perform competitive dances in ballet, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, hip-hop and tap.
The $1.5 million expansion of Castle Rock Adventist Hospital’s labor and delivery unit is expected to accommodate 250 more births in the coming year.

Last-minute makeup touch-ups, costume changes and dancers scrambling to hit their spots for their next dance were just a few of the scenes at Castle View High School on Dec. 12. Competitive Company Dancers from Boutique Dance Academy in Castle Rock held the second annual Winter Snowcase to not only show off their skills, but also raise money for their upcoming competition season. The dancers hoped to build support and raise awareness for competitive dance.

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
DAVID COLES Father, outdoor adventurer, tinkerer About me I began my current job as an IT consultant for a company in the Tech Center after my family and I moved to Castle Rock about a year and a half ago. My wife, Jessica, and I have four children who all attend South Ridge Elementary. I grew up on the East Coast, but I always wanted to move to Colorado because of the mountains and the snow. Jessica grew up in Colorado Springs, so we’ve been on the Front Range for most of our marriage. Outdoor playground Now that my kids are getting older, I’m getting back into the outdoor sports that I used to love. It’s getting easier to share the hiking, climbing and skiing that makes Colorado such a wonderful place to live. All of the mesas and hills and trails in and around Castle Rock have become a fantastic playground.
Involving my son My youngest son has cerebral palsy and is largely confined to a wheelchair. As he gets older and a little stronger, I’ve begun to love finding ways to get him outdoors and involved in the same activities that we all enjoy. Last year, we got to do some monoskiing at Winter Park, and this year I’m excited to learn how to take him skiing myself. Last month, we built a backpack for him that has let me take him along some of the local trails. It reminds me of my old backpacking days, but it’s the most fun we’ve had in a long time! Tinkering and problem solving I love tinkering and hacking the things in my life to help make things easier; not only for my youngest son, but for the whole family. It’s very exciting to be on the leading edge of some incredible developments, not just in adaptive technology, but in almost every area of life. There is nothing quite as exciting as hearing about some new technological advances and thinking, “how could we use that in our lives to solve a problem?” Loving where we live We live in an incredible place. The schools, the parks, the trails, everything we could want is right in our backyard. My family and I are honored and privileged to call Castle Rock home! By Shanna Fortier.

The sound of the tinkling bell drifts across the parking lot, growing louder the closer you get to the King Soopers entrance. There it is, a red bell so tiny it nestles neatly Ann Macari into Nathan Gray’s hand. Healey “Happy holidays,” he says, as a customer walks by. “Merry Christmas, guys. Have a good day.” A hand drops a dollar bill into the red kettle. “Thank you,” he says, with a wide smile that seeps into his eyes. “Have a blessed day.” Gray, 33, a floppy Santa hat on his head, is a bell ringer for the Salvation Army. Just about every day, from the week before Black Friday until Christmas Day, he rings his bell at the front of a King Soopers, enticing contributions from those who cross its threshhold with a grin, a greeting, a compliment, a blessing. He’s one of about 700 bell ringers in the Salvation Army Intermountain Division, which covers Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and eastern Montana. They’re crucial to the organization’s bottom line — the holiday kettle drive is the year’s largest donation generator. “This is by far the most effective way to raise money,” spokesperson Tahreem Pasha-Glenn says. “It’s the most recognized fundraiser in the country.” This holiday season, in an ironic twist, an improving economy has created a shortage of bell ringers, which means a number of locations have no kettles.
Family Owned, Family Run

DO YOU WANT TO BE A BELL RINGER? To volunteer as a bell ringer for the Salvation Army, go to volunteer.usawest.org and enter your ZIP code or imsalvationarmy.org and click on volunteer.
The empty spots are worrisome, Pasha-Glenn says, because when it comes to providing services needed by families and individuals struggling simply to survive, every dollar matters. “Every single dollar that goes into the kettle,” she says, “stays in the community.”

Plans for Festival Park as urban center move ahead
HometownIMPRESSIONS M O M E N TS I N T I M E F R O M YO U R C O M M U N I T Y
Staff report Festival Park, sometimes called the heartbeat of downtown Castle Rock and home to some of the community’s most treasured events, will soon be on its way to becoming an urban center. Castle Rock Town Council recently approved a plan to start the final steps in the $5 million project that “reimages” the popular park. With council’s recent approval of final design concepts and funding approval, the last permitting and construction documents can begin to take shape. Over the next several months, Design Workshop — the project’s design consultant — will lead a team of architects and engineers to develop construction drawings for the contractor-bidding process. The project will have multiple potential funding sources, including several conservation trust funds,

Santa and elves pose for the camera By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com A horse-drawn carriage made its way though the streets of downtown Castle Rock. Snow perched on the branches of the Christmas trees in Festival Park, and new snow continued to fall. Max Bennett, 7, walked swiftly to a wooden hut. He loves Santa and was on his way to see the big man in red Dec. 12. The inside of the hut was decorated with red walls. Ornaments hung from the ceiling. On the mantel next to where Santa sat, there was a large book filled with names from his naughty and nice list. Max sat on Santa’s lap with a big smile on his face while

his grandfather took his picture. Outside, a yellow sleigh-parking-only sign was posted next to a large red mailbox, where children could drop letters to be shipped to the North Pole. A couple steps past the giant decorated tree, the “Elves Dressing Room” could be found. Inside, magic came to life as children dressed themselves as elves for additional photo opportunities. The festivities, which included hot chocolate, another one of Max’s favorite things, were part of the Season of the Star events put on by Castle Rock. Selfies with Santa and the Elf House Experience happen every Saturday this month from 4-7 p.m.

Throughout the planning process, the town, along with Design Workshop, has solicited input from the public to help reimage the park. In addition to new amenities, stormwater improvements along Sellar’s Gulch will be developed to remain consistent with national floodplain regulations. The park’s design includes a partial permanent closure of Second Street. Traffic will only be permitted to enter Second Street one-way from Perry Street and be required to exit through the alley north. This will allow for a pedestrian walkway and market plaza to be incorporated into the park. Construction is set to begin after Starlighting 2016 and is expected to take about a year.

Castle Rock police will wear cameras in 2016 Agency is third in county to adopt new technology
HOW BODY-WORN CAMERAS WILL BE USED
By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com
The Castle Rock Police Department policy provides officers some discretion based on specified circumstances.
The Castle Rock Police Department will be the third Douglas County agency to deploy body-worn cameras, following the Lone Tree and Parker police departments. “I think that if we look at our strategic plan, a large piece is to provide our officers with the most up-to-date technology, and this is consistent with that,” Castle Rock Police Chief Jack Cauley said of the cameras. “I think that the community supports that.” The purchase of 66 Axon body-worn cameras made by Taser International, related equipment and unlimited storage with a price tag of $166,607 was approved Dec. 1 by Castle Rock Town Council as part of the 2016 budget. The program’s ongoing cost is approximately $97,000 a year, which includes replacement of all bodyworn cameras every 2½ years with the most current device on the market. All department Tasers also will be replaced when they reach the end of their life, which is every five years, providing the department a savings of $48,240 in Taser replacements for the next two years. The Castle Rock Police Department has been researching the option of bodyworn cameras for officers for the past 18
• Any contact that becomes adversarial Privacy concerns: Officers have the option to discontinue recording:
Cameras will be automatically activated: • During crashes and abrupt braking
• During consensual encounters at homes or businesses
• When the rear prisoner door of a police vehicle is opened
• When speaking to victims of crimes of a delicate nature
• When a rifle or shotgun lock inside a police vehicle is released
• When a person reporting a crime requests to remain anonymous
Manual activation will be used during all criminal calls for:
Body-worn cameras will not be used: • To record in situations that include an expectation of privacy, including a locker room or restroom
• Service • Interactions with all enforcement or investigative contacts
• During meal breaks
• Traffic stops
• When privacy may outweigh legitimate lawenforcement interests
• Self-initiated activity
months, before officer conduct was called into question nationwide starting with the events in Ferguson, Missouri. Video cameras have been an evolving tool for law enforcement agencies since the 1980s. The Castle Rock Police Department installed in-car video systems in 2013. “The body-worn cameras are an extension of the in-car cameras,” Cauley said.
“So many of our contacts are not within a traffic stop setting and we wanted to provide our officers with the most up-to-date technology for their safety as well as the public’s safety.” Cauley said body-worn cameras significantly broaden the reach of video recording in the field and allow officers to record contact with individuals whether within a police vehicle or on foot. Additional ad-
vantages to the cameras include transparency and the ability to provide feedback to develop officer training scenarios. “We may look at video and decide that we will change a tactic or technique based on what we’ve seen,” Cauley said. Every officer in the department participated in a testing and evaluation phase during October and November. Sgt. Sam Varela, who worked with officers during testing, said this is unique because most agencies test with only a select few officers. “We really wanted to get the feedback from all of them,” Varela said. “There was no pushback from officers. They really embraced the technology. The video that we captured revealed what the officers already knew — that they are doing a good job every day.” Some videos actually exonerated a few officers when accused of minor misconduct, Varela said. “There are agencies out there that can’t afford to give their officers bullet-resistant vests, and we’re very thankful that we are able to do this,” Cauley said of the bodyworn cameras. “We do feel confident that we have a good product that we will give our officers and provide a level of safety that they deserve.” Moving forward, additional training will be provided, including instruction for records personnel on how to redact a video for public release. The policy also will be tweaked as data is collected and cameras become used on a daily basis.
Fire department warns about battery dangers Batteries used in drones, R/C cars can explode and cause fires
By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com South Metro Fire Rescue is warning consumers this holiday season about the danger of fires caused by lithiumion polymer batteries, which can be found in drones, hover boards and remote-controlled toys. At the department’s joint services facility in Parker, safety officer Jason Camper demonstrated how easy it is for a lithium-ion polymer battery to start a fire. An overcharged battery was poked with a nail, and that was all it took for the battery to combust and burst into flames. South Metro Fire Rescue has responded to two recent fires ignited by the batteries. As the holidays approach, the department launched a public education campaign to prevent potential disasters. “This year, there are so many more remote-controlled toys and items out there — there are drones and hover boards and other items that use these lithium polymer batteries,” said Becky O’Guin, public information officer for
South Metro Fire Rescue. “So we just want to make sure people know that while it may be a toy, the batteries aren’t toys and they should be handled responsibly.” Investigators are trying to determine whether the batteries are causing hover board fires that have been reported by users nationwide. In November, Lone Tree residents overcharged a lithium-ion polymer battery that was not protected by a fireproof container. It caused significant damage to the home. No one was injured. The batteries have higher discharge rates and are lighter in weight than their predecessors, but they’re also “a lot more volatile,” O’Guin said. The batteries are often charging and left unattended when the fires occur. Damaged batteries also have caused problems, and investigators pinned the cause of a 2010 cargo jet crash on lithium-ion batteries that combusted mid-flight. South Metro recommends adult supervision while handling the batteries and cautions users not to overcharge them. The two recent fires are what put the lithium-ion polymer batteries “on our radar,” O’Guin said. Both lithium-ion polymer batteries and lithium ion batteries can cause fires, she said.

TIPS TO PREVENT BATTERY FIRES • Do not overcharge batteries
• Use a charger recommended by manufacturer
• Do not leave them unattended while charging
• Check batteries for outward signs of damage
• Use a fireproof container while charging
• Use adult supervision

Silverthorn, a supporter of the school district’s reform policies of the past several years, first won election to the board in 2009 and was re-elected in 2013. She has bachelor’s degrees in aerospace enSilverthorn gineering sciences and political science, both from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Silverthorn has worked for the Air Force Research Laboratory and as an analyst for the Department of Defense. Silverthorn took some time to talk to Colorado Community Media about her goals and challenges facing the school board.
What is the role of board president? There are specific duties for the board president, including presiding over meetings, signing documents and working with the superintendent to set the meeting agendas. However, I believe that the board president has a larger opportunity to maximize the effectiveness of the board. I look forward to facilitating productive discussions and leveraging the strengths of each board member. Board members have always come from diverse backgrounds and experiences, with different opinions. This has not changed and will continue to be the case each time board members turn over. However, with this particular board, I believe that we can make changes to the way we work as a group, and find our collective voice. Although diverse, we have many commonalities, and I know that every one of my colleagues cares deeply about our district and what we offer to our community.
Why did you want a leadership position on the board? I believe as one of the longest-serving members of the board, I bring a historical perspective, an abundance of knowledge, and a strategic forward view to board leadership. I wanted to provide a measure of stability while applying my experience to implement necessary changes. I have always worked to represent a principled yet judicious voice. We have such a great community in our district — students, parents, teachers and citizens. I want to foster an environment that builds mutual trust and respect, not only between those of us on the board, but also with those we serve. In this context, we can be the most
What are the most important issues facing the district? Parents have greater involvement than ever in their kids’ education. This is as it should be. However, state and federal mandates have not kept up. The brandnew Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), the No Child Left Behind replacement, passed on Dec. 10, keeps in place arbitrary assessment measures and unnecessary federal involvement, among other things. This is merely one example of outside mandates that diminish local control. The district must strike a balance between fulfilling these and focusing on innovation specifically tailored to our own environment — and ensuring that
implementation is solid. Currently, there are concerns about federal encroachment as well as local initiatives. We must inspire confidence in our ability to handle both. Funding mechanisms will remain a challenge. The state takes taxpayer money and redistributes it back to districts via a complex and burdensome formula. Our community does not have a strong grasp on this mechanism, and yet taxpayers are expected to pay ever-increasing amounts for a system that is fundamentally inequitable for DCSD. Communication is at the root of several problems. The district has an overwhelming amount of information to share. Our goal should be for this to happen in a timely and responsive manner. We must also demonstrate to employees that they are valued even as we strive to put kids first. Three colleagues were defeated in the November election. Do you believe the community supports the work the board has done since you joined it? I often hear that people support the broad concepts that the board has supported and espoused. As always, however, one of the biggest challenges in public policy is implementation. I continue to hear that there is widespread support for ideas such as performance pay, expanding choices for parents and students, and improving the district’s financial management. However, a few factors have combined to impact public perception and to foster concerns. District communication has historically been a weak point. It has improved in the past several years, but it remains challenging to reach all segments of our community, particularly those with no children attending our schools. We must do a better job at keeping them informed and engaged. Additionally,
many of these ideas represent a major change for the education world. Using performance pay as an example, people have said, “The district had performance pay already. It isn’t new.” The way we have implemented it is nothing like the old system, which is now over 20 years old. But in moving to a new system, it is necessary to create — and demonstrate — buy-in, and show that we have been successful at managing change in a public bureaucracy of this size. How can you help bridge the board’s veteran members with your new colleagues? It will be key that all members feel like they are being heard. We will reach a greater understanding when we communicate with one another transparently and honestly. Regardless of what has happened in the past, we can work to understand one another’s viewpoints now. We can exchange ideas, obtain information, and make decisions together. I have already begun reaching out to all of my fellow board members on many topics, which is necessary and beneficial in shaping my own understanding. I can demonstrate that I have a willingness to listen to all voices, on the board and in the community, regardless of their background or views. We will not always agree. I don’t expect for us to, nor do I think it would be healthy for us if we did. But the voters of Douglas County elected every one of us, and they expect us to work together to provide an education for our kids. My new colleagues are learning their roles. I am confident that my ongoing colleagues will assist them in any way necessary. We know that our community has a strong interest in our district, and to build the bridge it will be essential to show them that we are all ready to listen and engage.

THE FORCE IS STRONG AT THE OUTLETS
The accessory of choice at the Outlets at Castle Rock on Dec. 12 was the light saber. Children of all ages roamed the food court honing their skills in preparation for the arrival of Darth Vader. In honor of the much-anticipated release of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” Outlets at Castle Rock invited guests to “Rock the Force” with a family-friendly fan party. Attendees had the chance to pose for photos with their favorite characters including Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, Storm Troopers and Emperor Palpatine. “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” will be released Dec. 18.

felt like we were being taken care of by family. We had mountain views and really good food. I think I hit up the restaurant more than any dad has here.” The expanded facility includes five new labor, delivery, recovery and post-partum suites, bringing the total number of birthing suites to 13. Each new room is equipped with its own soaking tub. A new nursing station also was added to the wing. Last year, the hospital delivered nearly 700 babies, and in 2016 it’s projecting more than 950 deliveries. The need for more birthing suites has grown significantly since the hospital opened in 2013, with expectant mothers coming from Castle Rock and many surrounding areas, including Lone Tree, Highlands Ranch, Parker, Franktown, Elizabeth, Kiowa, Larkspur and Monument, according to hospital data. “The problem had been before that there was a number of patients filling up the small amount of rooms, and they would have to send the patient elsewhere,” said Dr. Wayne Furr, who has been with Castle Rock Adventist since it opened and has delivered a fair number of Broncos babies. “This allows a lot more access of patients and physicians to utilize services here.” Todd Folkenberg, chief executive officer at the hospital, said the Dec. 8 event was less about celebrating an expansion and more about how the five new rooms enable the hospital to hire more nurses and partner

DECEMBER DIAPER DRIVE The Britton and Nikki Colquitt family and Castle Rock Adventist Hospital are sponsoring a December diaper drive to benefit Young Lives, an organization that uses mentoring, Bible study and other discipleship methods to instill confidence in teen moms. In addition to diapers, the drive also will accept new and gently used baby and toddler items. The drive will run through Dec. 31, and items may be dropped off in the main lobby at Castle Rock Adventist Hospital. with more obstetricians and midwives to provide a great experience for patients. “This is a huge celebration for Castle Rock Adventist and our community because we can help that many more members of our community in what I believe is an incredible, special and sacred moment,” Folkenberg said. The hospital and Nikki Colquitt also are teaming to host a diaper drive in December. The drive will benefit Young Lives, an organization that uses mentoring, Bible study and other discipleship methods to instill confidence in teen moms. In addition to diapers, new and gently used baby items are also being accepted. Now that the labor and delivery facility expansion is complete, remodeling efforts will focus on a neonatal intensive-care unit addition. The construction, which should be completed in about three months, will bring the hospital’s capacity for caring for NICU babies from four at a time to six at a time.

Time for the chill to deliver a thrill A snowman was seen shopping for carrots. I guess you could say that he was picking his nose. I am not crazy about icy roads, but otherwise, let it snow. Go ahead and let it drop way below freezing too. I like it. The furnace runs all night, and I don’t mind. I am looking forward to the dead of winter. When is that? Maybe around Tuesday, Dec. 22. That’s winter solstice. My sweaters are out, and so are my galoshes (from French: galoches). Hand me that big coat and those woolen mittens. Did you hear that Frosty the Snowman is getting a divorce? He said his wife is a flake. Smitty doesn’t think that winter is much of a joke. His legs are the length of my forefinger. And he’s not exactly a husky. Or whatever Taz is. Taz lives across the street and thrives in snow. I have seen other dogs do the same thing. Some dogs even lie down and nap in snow. I am not living with a dog like that. I am no more or less sociable in the winter than I am in the summer. I am a grumpy old man year-round. But snowman is an island. And I am a lot happier than I am in July. This might surprise you, albeit a little grim no matter what: “The Center for Disease Control and Pre-
vention and the National Center for Health Statistics report that suicide rates are lowest during the winter months and highest in the spring and summer” (Wikipedia). Aha. Suicide rates Craig Marshall Smith don’t spike or peak QUIET during the cold DESPERATION and dark months of winter. I wonder if sunshine, which is generally considered an uplifting thing, is more depressing to depression sufferers because it’s out of harmony with the way you are feeling. One of my therapists suggested depression medication, and I said, “I need my depression.” It wasn’t an attempt at humor. Things depress me, but I don’t have the kind of depression that ends up sitting next to Dr. Phil, and always results in his extra-sincere offer of help. To some extent being disturbed by things has led to these columns, and even to my sense of humor. I haven’t always preferred winters. I lived in Los Angeles for eight years. Winter in Los Angeles is merely a calendar designation. There is no true winter there, except for
one unpleasant thing: It would rain. I like rain, but not for seven days in a row, and around the clock. Maybe you have seen the film “Blade Runner.” Very wet. That would depress me now, if I still lived there. I was young and didn’t know any better. What I didn’t know was Colorado. This is paradise. There’s another reason why Frosty is getting a divorce. Now and then his wife gave him the cold shoulder. Does winter brings families closer together, or send them into cabin fever? I’ll never know because I don’t have a family. If you can’t go anywhere, maybe you all gather together in the family room, and sit in front of the fire and drink hot cocoa. I’m kidding. Who does that? I have a fireplace. I can flip a switch and have a fire. It’s not the same as a real fire, but it’s easier to clean up afterward than a real fire. Convenience is not always endearing. You can listen to a CD of a crackling fire, and really fake it up. Poor Frosty was robbed the other night. Police, however, got a chuckle when they found out what the robber — who wanted Frosty’s old silk hat — commanded the snowman to do. “Freeze!” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Little gestures can make big impression So a buddy of mine recently visited Cuba. His sister had asked him to pick up a commemorative thimble as a souvenir for her friend. On the last day, while riding on a bus, he realized he had forgotten to buy the thimble and said something out loud about it to his traveling companions. Another passenger on the bus mentioned that she also needed to buy a thimble for someone, but she too had forgotten. That afternoon my friend Frank went and purchased two commemorative thimbles. And that evening he approached the woman whom he had overheard saying she also forgot to buy one and he handed her one of the thimbles. She offered to pay Frank for the souvenir, but he told her that it was OK, it was his gift to her and not to worry about it. As the night went on my buddy Frank and the woman he had met continued a conversation and as it turned out, the woman was
connected to some people in the entertainment business and invited my friend to attend a backstage event the next time his favorite musician was coming to town. No romance, no expectations on either side, just a simple and small gesture that turned Michael Norton strangers into friends. WINNING All because of a tiny thimble. WORDS Can you remember a time where someone did something for you that seemed so small or so simple but where you were so appreciative? Maybe it was a random act of kindness, or perhaps some-
one left you a note or a card just to let you know they were thinking about you. Our gifts, donations, and time spent volunteering don’t always have to be huge or grandiose. In fact, most times when I hear about someone sharing their gratitude or appreciation about a gift, message, or gesture, it is usually around something simple or small. And the best part about most of those stories is that the person giving or helping in some way chose to be anonymous or just humbly stood on the sidelines. Is there a small gesture that left you feeling wonderful? Has someone done something in some small way to help you out at a time you needed it most? I can guess that the answer to both questions for all of us is yes. Now the next question we have to ask ourselves is this, “When was the last time Norton continues on Page 11

What not to expect from the stock market This is what is not going to happen: Stellar or even average returns on the stock market. Unexpected economic growth. Better-than-expected corporate earnings. Basically, this is not a good year for the investor. Here is why: We just completed 13 months without Quantitative Easing. That’s right, QE ended Oct. 31, 2014. This means that the economy has proven it can sustain some form of economic growth without artificial stimulus from the Federal Reserve. We have faced major headwinds from Europe teetering on recession and then receiving its bailout from the European Central Bank. You can actually get negative returns on bonds issued in many countries in the Eurozone. By contrast, bonds issued in a good neighborhood such as the United States can only offer a reasonable premium above negative interest rates. This means all fixed income securities in general are not
performing well. China triggered a correction in early fall and has not righted the ship just yet. They were wise to purposely slow their economy to avoid the credit crisis contagion that swept the Patricia Kummer U.S. in 2008 and 2009 and hit EuFINANCIAL in 2010 and STRATEGIES rope 2011. It was just a matter of time before the credit crisis and housing bubble found its way around the globe to Asia. Its economic slowdown may help China achieve a soft landing, but the effects around the globe, especially with their trading partners, has dampened exports and
corporate earnings. The strong dollar is pushing already depressed commodities to record low prices. Since all commodities such as oil, metals and crops are priced worldwide in U.S. dollars, the strength of our currency does affect the prices of these wares worldwide. This adversely affects countries dependent on commodity exports for economic growth. Based on these indicators of slow economic growth, the stock market returns are not going to be anywhere near their averages for a while. Wall Street analysts are touting low returns for 2016 as well. Flat market returns actually feel like good news this year after the loss of Quantitative Easing and other nations facing significant downturns. But never underestimate the economic resilience of our homeland. If we can maintain even moderate GDP (Growth Domestic Output) and survive an interest-rate hike, then we are poised to go higher

grew.” There are the stories — about one in 30 people, he estimates, has a story to tell about how the Salvation Army made a difference in their lives. “This older guy,” Gray says, “his wife tells him to put money in the kettle any time he walks by one,” because the Salvation Army helped him when he was young and poor. “The pregnant lady,” he remembers. “She was pregnant and didn’t have any money and they bought her a car.” Vietnam vets tell him how the Salvation Army gave them long johns. On this afternoon, Diana Johnson, 84, stops her shopping cart to look through her purse, then places money into the kettle. “My husband is a World War II vet,” she says. “He said they were the best at taking care of the GIs.” Right behind her is Tanya Kukral, 59, who donates every time she passes a kettle. “My grandfather was on the front lines in World War I,” she says. “He said the Salvation Army was the only one who helped the infantrymen on the front lines. He said, `When you give, you give to the Salvation Army . . . ‘ My grandpa’s been dead for a long time, but his words stuck with me.” You see, Gray says. So many stories. And then there’s the steady interaction with people Gray may never see again — it moves him to make sure these chance encounters are positive and sincere. “It’s really small, but I could be the only person to tell that person Merry Christmas,” he says. “I might be the only one who asks `How are you?’ or says `Have a good day’ . . . It’s a really small thing, but it could go a long way with a certain person.” And sometimes, the small thing hap-
pens to Gray. “Seems like I see you here every day,” says John Beall, 72, as he walks toward Gray. “Can I get you something to drink at Starbucks?” Gray smiles. “I’ll take a small Chai.” When Beall returns, he shakes Gray’s hand. “Thank you,” he says. Gray’s smile spreads wider. One day, he hopes, his kettle will be the lucky recipient of an unexpectedly generous donation. Like one of the gold coins worth thousands of dollars that have sporadically appeared in kettles across the country. “I’ve been hoping for that this year,” Gray says. Or like the $500,000 check an anonymous donor dropped in a kettle in Minnesota in late November.

That’s why a good bell ringer is a gift. The ones who return year after year, seasoned by experience, well, “they’re fantastic,” Pasha-Glenn says. “We see a difference in the amount of donations they bring in. We so appreciate our bell ringers.” The bell ringers are comprised of mostly volunteers, but also include some — such as Gray — for whom it’s seasonal work. And for Gray, the job is a joy. The father of two, who lives in Aurora, stumbled into it three seasons ago when he was looking for work through a temp agency. He had such a good time he’s made it a regular capstone to his working year, which generally consists of jobs as a garbage collector and landscape worker. This year, he’s also a driver, picking up and dropping off other bell ringers in his area. The pay isn’t much — about $9 an hour, he says — but the work is about much more than the money. There’s the challenge — to persuade everyone who walks by to give, whether it’s a quarter or $20 or $150. He makes it a point to greet people twice, once as they walk in the store, once as they walk out. His friendly demeanor, ever-present grin and happy spirit make it difficult not to acknowledge him. “I didn’t forget you,” says a woman on her way out, pulling money from her purse. “Thank you so much,” Gray says with a smile. “We appreciate your donation. Have a blessed day.” His smile widens: “I planted the seed when they came in. I watered it and it

we offered a simple or small gesture that made a difference in someone’s life?” If we can’t remember a time or it has been so long ago that we struggle to remember, maybe it’s time we look around us and see where we can help or who we can assist. Can we open a car door, can we give up a seat, can we leave a note for someone we love and appreciate, can we donate time, money, or other resources, can we make a meal for a neighbor, can we offer
someone a much-needed ear to listen, or can we offer a smile or a hug to someone feeling down? How about you, have you been the recipient of a simple gesture that meant so much, or have you been the giver of a small gesture that was so appreciated? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we remember that a small gesture, even the size of a tiny thimble, can make a difference, it really will be a better than good week.

with little effort, especially if China and Europe stabilize. Remember, there are opportunities in every market cycle. Don’t give up on your investment strategy. Positive returns still reward investors more than 70 percent of the time. These are very good odds and the current environment could prove a great buying opportunity for future growth.

“That’s got to be a world record,” he says. But, until then, he’ll settle happily for the $150 check someone slipped into the kettle the day before. And, actually, any donation will do just fine. His face glows: “I just got $20 in there.” Nathan Gray flips the red bell back and forth. The tinkling drifts across the parking lot. Everybody who hears it knows what it means.

Refugees’ path takes wrenching turn GoFundMe account created as siblings face life without mother
HOW TO HELP
By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Go online to gofundme.com/ miracleforyasin to assist Yasin Mohamud and his two younger siblings with expenses.
Yasin Mohamud does not have words to explain the difficult situation he finds himself in, but his story does not need many to understand its depths. The young man, who is blind and has limited English fluency, is suddenly motherless and responsible for two younger siblings, including a sister badly injured in the accident that killed their mother. Amid that upheaval, local residents have created a GoFundMe account to assist the three Somali refugees with funeral costs, medical expenses and basic living needs. “I am feeling sad,” Mohamud said. “My mom was kind and loving. She was a good mother. But now it’s just the two children and me, and I’m blind. But I want to work. I will continue to keep on with school and the center. I’m not going to quit.” Mohamud was born 21 years ago in the East African country of Somalia, perhaps best known among Americans for the violence depicted in the 2001 movie “Black Hawk Down” and for the pirates who kidnapped the real-life “Captain Phillips,” on whom the 2013 film with that name was based. In 2008, at a time when Somalia topped the list of failed states internationally, Mohamud’s father was a soldier with the government-led military. He was helping to battle rebel groups in an effort to regain control of the country. Mohamud remembers well the day that Al-Shabaab militants showed up at his family’s doorstep, looking for his father. Then just a teenager, Mohamud told the militants he didn’t know his father’s whereabouts. So, he said, they gouged his eyes out. The rebels eventually found his father and killed him, leaving his mother, Habibo, with Mohamud and his two younger siblings. They fled to Ethiopia. “My country is broken, and the government,” Mohamud said. Getting started in America After being granted refugee status, the four family members made their way to Colorado three years ago. Mohamud’s mother and 17-year-old sister, Nunai, found work at the Cargill meatpacking plant in Fort Morgan, where a Somali community is thriving. According to a county document titled
“Morgan County: A Land of Immigrants,” the Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid of a Greeley meatpacking plant in 2006 led to a shortage of workers in the industry. Hispanics became reluctant to fill the slots they traditionally had. But the number of Somali refugees entering Colorado has been on a steady increase, rising from 87 in 2000 to 400 in 2014. And many are eager for jobs that require little English, so the meatpacking plant became a natural fit. However, housing in Fort Morgan can be difficult to come by, so Habibo, Nunai and younger brother Farnan, now 12, settled into an apartment in Denver. In the meantime, Mohamud enrolled at the Colorado Center for the Blind in Littleton, along with the Spring International Language Center based at Arapahoe Community College. He’s been working diligently since to learn English and Braille, as well as to travel with a cane and to master other independent-living skills. “He’s just a typical 21-year-old,” said Kimberley McCutcheon, director of career and student services at the center for the blind. “He is funny and bright and questions everything, and he has a mind of his own. He’s very motivated, and he has ideas in mind for what he wants to do.” But just as life seemed to be looking up, Habibo and Nunai — driving home from their job on Thanksgiving Day — encountered a slick patch. “My mom was thrown out of the car, out through the window onto the street,” Mohamud said. “My mom died. My sister’s back is broken in three places.” That means he is now the legal guardian of his two younger siblings, and that the future for all of them is uncertain. Daunting tasks await With only a basic grasp of English and Braille, Mohamud knows the challenge he faces to find a job to support the three of them. He’s been living in housing provided by the center for the blind, but now he’ll move to the Denver apartment. The landlord gave his OK to that plan, and Mohamud is working on obtaining food assistance and Social Security benefits.

“Unfortunately, as a visually impaired, full-time student who is currently unemployed, he will be hard pressed to make ends meet with two additional mouths to feed,” reads a GoFundMe page set up by staff at the Spring center to help with funeral costs, medical expenses and basic needs. The page had raised $1,500 from 24 people as of Dec. 10, and Shirlaine Castellino, director of the Spring center, delivered another $560 in cash offered up by the center’s staff. “This will no doubt be a sad holiday season for the Mohamud family,” reads the page. “But perhaps, with enough small contributions from those who have the spirit of giving still in their hearts, his burden will be eased some.” Despite the tragedies experienced in his homeland, Mohamud yearns to return to Somalia when his brother turns 18. The
country has settled down some since 2013, when the United States recognized its government for the first time in more than two decades. But Mohamud has a more personal reason. “My wife, Estile, is in Somalia,” he said, grinning. “We got married on the phone. I haven’t met her yet.” Such a marriage is a common tradition in the Muslim faith, noted Connie Shoemaker, co-founder and director emerita of the Spring center. But until then, the Mohamud family has plenty of support here. “We hope he feels that he has a community behind him no matter what, and that he won’t be forgotten after a couple of months,” McCutcheon said. “The center will continue to be his family forever, and continue to look after him and help him craft a future for himself and his family.”

Sleeper House is dreamy site for tree art Colorado Homes magazine has captured the Christmas season with a feature story about an original Christmas tree art installation at the iconic Sleeper House in Genesee. The magazine article says, “If you’ve ever driven up I-70 from Denver to the mountains, you’ve seen the Sleeper House, more formally known as The Sculptured House — that spaceship-esque residence built almost as if an extension of Genesee Mountain. The distinctively elliptical home was crafted by architect Charles Deaton in 1963 and went on to be featured prominently in the 1973 Woody Allen sci-fi comedy, ‘Sleeper.’ “Well, Matthew Bliss, creator of The Modern Christmas Tree, has stepped inside the Sleeper House for a noble cause. A portion of every sale of his lightweight-acrylic, A-frame Christmas trees goes to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America — a cause close to home. Bliss created The Modern Christmas Tree Company in tribute to his late grandfather, Lawrence “Bud” Stoecker, who was an architect and engineer before battling Alzheimer’s later in life.” “When I was a kid, our family would drive up I-70 on our way to go skiing,” Bliss said. “Every time we approached Genesee, we would look for what we called the Spaceship House. It’s a mysterious, iconic house to anyone who grew up in Colorado. My grandpa must have driven by it hundreds of
times while making A-frame cabins all over the Rocky Mountains, so to be able to photograph his trees in such an important home was a dream come true.” Each tree includes an LED light, rotating mirror ball, ornament options, and Penny Parker installation kit. Prices MILE HIGH range from $299 to $799. LIFE For more of the story, go to www. coloradohomesmag.com/Home/The-Sleeper-HouseAll-Decked-Out-for-the-Holidays/#. VmcWGIplT_k.facebook.

Colorado among best on beer list Livability.com has just released its inaugural list of Best 99 Beers in 99 Cities, and Colorado can boast the beery best in Boulder, Fort Collins and Durango. Boulder scored No. 6 for Avery Brewing. Fort Collins ranked No. 19 for New Belgium Brewing’s Fat Tire. And Durango came in at No. 33 for Animas Brewing Co., Carver Brewing Co. and Ska Brewing Co. Here’s what Livability said about the firsttime list: “While macro brewers are struggling, craft brewers are posting double-digit increases in sales and production nationwide, according to the Brewers Association. Mayors across the nation are quick to proclaim themselves ‘beer cities.’ Residents love it, and so do tourists — so much that there’s a newish form of tourism centered around the beer itself. “Economic development, tourism, talent attraction — these are all great side effects of the craft beer movement in the U.S.,”
says Livability.com editor Matt Carmichael. “But at the end of the day, this is a ranking of great beers in great cities, and it sure is nice to have a cold pint of one of these 99 brews.” The top 99 cities are featured on Livability.com, along with their LivScore and information about the qualities and amenities that helped them make the list. Here’s the link: www.livability.com/best-places/99-beers-in-99cities/2015?utm_source=newsletter&utm_ medium=email&utm_content=Livability. com&utm_campaign=99%20Beers%20 in%2099%20Cities%20Press%20Release.

A Christmas tree of memories Beginning in 1947, Centennial woman has collected more than 550 ornaments
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Annette Matthews paces around the artificial Christmas tree in her living room. A vintage train sits beneath it, motionless. But the tree is full of life, meticulously decorated with more than 550 ornaments. And every one has a story. “I got this one after the war,” she says, pointing to the clear bulb she bought in 1947 at the end of World War II. “It’s plastic because you weren’t allowed to use glass back then.” Like all the others, the ornament isn’t just a decoration — it’s a memory. Matthews, 90, was born and raised in Denver. She was first inspired to collect ornaments in fourth grade. She recalls a home just down the street from her elementary school that had a large, decorative Christmas tree in its

sunroom, so the students could see it. “I decided then,” Matthews says, “that’s the kind of tree I wanted.” Her collection started in 1947 when she was in her 20s. She married the same year, but her late husband rarely participated in the tree decorating. It was her project, and she liked it that way. “I didn’t want his help,” says Matthews. “He wouldn’t have spent the time that I did.” Her collection grew over the years. She acquired an ornament every time she traveled, received some as gifts and bought some for herself, often from Hallmark. She even started making her own by gluing festive stones onto satin bulbs. “She ties a homemade ornament on every present,” her grandson David Matthews, 36, says. “So we have a ton.” Every year, a relative puts up the tree in Matthews’ Centennial home. She unpacks each ornament from its original box and makes a list of her collection. And then spends days decorating her tree. Some ornaments represent family, like the small white bulb with her great-grandson’s tiny blue footprint. Some represent places, like the Christmas tree that her grandson brought her from Germany. Some are connected with experiences, like the replica of a lighthouse she visited in North Carolina. And some are for pure enjoyment, like the Hallmark teddy bears. Matthews will take her tree down mid-January. The process is a lot of hard work, but to her, it’s worth it. “This,” she says, “is Christmas.”
Every year, Annette Matthews’ family sets up the artificial tree and she spends days decorating it — all on her own. “There’re about 550 to 600 ornaments this year,” she says. Photos by Alex DeWind

CONGRATULATIONS TO RIANA RAE WRIGHTSMAN
Bone-marrow drive is labor of love
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Erin Christian, a teacher at STEM School and Academy, spends every Sunday at Children’s Hospital Colorado: She visits Ezra Miller, her seventh-grade student who was diagnosed with leukemia in August and has rarely left the hospital since. “I was originally asked by our principal to help him stay caught up in school,” Christian said. “I’ve gotten to know him very well, and I feel so connected.” And she’s rallied the Highlands Ranch school to fight for Ezra’s cure — a bonemarrow transplant. Ezra, 12, attended only a few of Christian’s language arts classes before he was admitted to the hospital for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a cancer that increases the number of white blood cells in bone marrow — the substance inside bone cavities — and inhibits the body’s production of strong, red blood cells. Every four minutes, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with a blood cancer like AML, according to the National Marrow Donor Program. Often, the patient will need a bone-marrow donor. “When you find a bone-marrow match,” said Liz Lambert, integrated communications specialist at Bonfils Blood Center, “it’s like hitting the lottery.” Ezra, who is in his third round of chemotherapy, found a match through the national bone-marrow registry. His transplant is tentatively set for Jan. 21. With his type of leukemia, he must be in a safe environment, so he’s mostly remained at the hospital. He did come home for two weeks before Thanksgiving. “We really do gain so much that is intangible from the loving support of our family, friends and community,” his mother, Cynthia Lowry, wrote in an email. “It is a constant affirmation to see how people show up in our lives to support us, and we are very grateful.” When Christian first visited Ezra at the hospital, teacher and student were strangers. It didn’t take long to develop a bond. “He likes video games and zombie shows,” Christian said. “He and I text weekly about the newest ‘Walking Dead’ series.” When Ezra felt like students at school were forgetting about him, Christian stepped in. Even though Ezra had a match, she reached out to Lambert at Bonfils Blood Center to set up a bonemarrow drive at STEM School and Academy, 8773 South Ridgeline Blvd. They set the date for Dec. 9. “I told all my students and staff to spread the word,” Christian said. “I wanted a large demonstration to show that we are all thinking about him.” The students were on board. Sean Mauch, also a seventh-grader, played hockey with Miller three years ago. Mauch remembers the exact date that Ezra left school — Aug. 12. On the day of the drive, he sported a shirt that said “Fighting Leukemia” with hockey sticks in the shape of a heart. “He’s brave and bold,” Mauch said. “He

“We are all learning more about acceptance, diversity and what our humanity looks like as we see so many other courageous kids struggle — and see some lose,” Lowry said. “It is my hope for my children that they continue to grow in compassion, understanding and acceptance of differences in people.”
likes to share his opinion. And he likes to be with friends.” Hope Miller, 15, Ezra’s older sister, wore the same shirt that day. She takes Fridays off from school to be with Ezra. They watch YouTube videos and play video games. Her brother’s situation is difficult because of how fast it happened, she said. “It’s such a dramatic change,” she said, tears in her eyes, “but it becomes the new normal.” Parents, staff and community members attended the drive. Bonfils works with Be The Match Registry through National Marrow Donor Program to provide the necessary materials for a bonemarrow drive. Applicants were asked to fill out paperwork and swab the inside of their cheeks for DNA testing. They were given an identification card and could be contacted by the registry if there’s a possible match. “Even though none of those swabs will go to Ezra,” Hope said, “they will go to kids like him.”

Ezra Miller’s mom, Cynthia Lowry, a real estate agent with Brokers Guild Cherry Creek, said she had to step down from being a “doer” to let others do for her and her family. It’s changed the dynamic of her household and the time she spends with her other two daughters. They often reconvene in the lounge of the hospital where they play games and talk about life.

If there’s a match, there are two ways to donate bone marrow: Peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) donation: Donors take a drug, called filgrastim, for five days to strengthen stem cells in the bloodstream. On the fifth day, the donor’s blood is removed through a needle in one arm. A machine collects blood-forming cells and the rest is returned through a needle in the other arm. The process is similar to a blood platelet donation and takes about five hours.

Good defense helps ensure success Area coaches get Hall of Fame nod
Stoppers valuable for successful hoops teams By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Most high school boys basketball players dream of being that unstoppable offensive player. No offense, but the importance of a good defensive stopper is invaluable, despite players maybe not getting as much attention as the top scorers or rebounders on a team. But, just how significant is a good defensive player? Cherry Creek coach Mike Brookhart answered the question quickly. “He’s the most valuable player,” said Brookhart. Legend coach Kevin Boley agreed. “We have a saying in our program that ‘Defense is kind of like life insurance, you have to have it,’” Boley said. “Historically, we have taken a great deal of pride in our defense that allows you to have the chance to win on nights when you don’t shoot well. “Tyler Willis was a crucial piece of our Final Four team (2013-14) because he took so much pride in being the stopper. Monroe Porter is now the player we use on the other team’s best offensive guard.” Many teams like Mountain Vista and ThunderRidge in the Continental League use their defensive pressure to create offense. ThunderRidge was the 5A state runner-up and will have to replace a key stopper. “We place a high premium on a player who is a defensive stopper,” said Grizzlies coach Joe Ortiz. “Elias Tiedgen, who graduated last year, was one of the best one-

This year we don’t have a defender as good as Elias, but we have several who are emerging and will try to fill that role.” Ortiz mentioned he has three good defensive standouts in senior guard Troy Brady, who has a great defensive feel,

Depth necessary in girls basketball Quality minutes from reserves equals success
Highlands Ranch coach Caryn Jarocki talks to her team during a timeout. Photo by Jim Benton
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Depth is a necessity in most team sports, and it’s especially true in Colorado girls basketball, where it is often difficult to develop quality bench players. Decent sixth, seventh or eighth players who can be called upon to contribute quality minutes to give starting players a rest or relieve a front-line player in foul trouble are most valuable. Depth has various meanings to different coaches depending of the overall talent level of the team, but one thing is certain: It’s needed. “I believe depth was a big key to our success last season,” said Valor Christian coach Jessika Stratton Caldwell, whose team won the 2014 Class 4A state title. “With the ability to substitute with confidence, it allows our best players to rest without losing momentum on the floor. “If the fifth through seventh players can positively contribute by taking care of the basketball, understanding the flow of the game offensively and making a mark defensively,” she said, “it can create a good substituting pattern that will help consistently.” Skyview girls coach Chris Kemm suggests basketball in 2015-16 is different than years ago, and depth plays a bigger role. “Depth can make good team into great teams,” he explained. “Most teams have that one-two punch from a couple standout players, but not in today’s high school girls basketball. You cannot have the traditional defensive scheme around two good players, particularly if they have some impact players outside of their two on the floor and off the bench. “Today’s good basketball teams are
seven to eight deep, and the great teams have great role players within and outside of that seven to eight girls,” Kemm added. “Ten years ago, you could compete at a high level with just one or two standouts, be favored if you had three. But in today’s game it’s not as likely, and it is more dependent on the confidence of your eight and strength and commitment of your role players.” And depth is vital when it comes to postseason play. “In many cases you can ride the stats and production of two or three good players to a quality regular season, but the postseason will reveal just how much, or how little, depth your team really has,” said Lutheran coach Mark Duitsman. “Either your opponent, a whistle, an injury, or simply the game itself will force someone outside your top rotation to make a play. “The serious contenders not only have depth that can make for a difficult matchup,” he said. “But, more importantly, they’re better equipped to handle more of the unplanned scenarios that are guaranteed to come your way, and those scenarios have a funny way of showing up

in the biggest games.” Matt Asik had been an assistant in ThunderRidge’s successful girls program for 10 seasons and is now the Grizzlies new head coach. “Depth is very important especially in the long-term success of a program,” he pointed out. “Those young kids that are role players on today’s team will become very important as they mature, grow and the upper-class players move on. Also, depth can wear an opponent that may lack depth. Having kids coming off your bench that can match the opponents’ starters is a big advantage.”
Ponderosa athletic director and former coach Tim Ottmann, ex-Mustangs and Highlands Ranch coach Kent Smith, and Arapahoe graduate Peter Horvath are among the six people who will Jim Benton be inducted into the Colorado High OVERTIME School Coaches Association Hall of Fame. The induction ceremony for the 2016 Hall of Fame class is scheduled for April 2 at the Radisson Hotel Southeast at 3155 S. Vaughn Way in Aurora. Ottmann came to Ponderosa in 1990 as a wrestling coach, and the Mustangs won eight state championships under his guidance. Ponderosa captured six consecutive state titles from 2003-2008. Ottmann has been Ponderosa’s AD for the past 25 years. Smith spent time as the boys basketball coach at Ponderosa and Highlands Ranch. He was also the boys and girls cross-country coach for the Falcons. Smith was the boys basketball coach at Boulder from 1971-1982, and the Panthers won state titles in 1977 and 1979. Smith’s 1988 Ponderosa boys basketball was crowned state champs, and his 1992 Highlands Ranch girls cross-country team won the state meet. He is currently the girls basketball coach at Alamosa. Horvath, a 1979 Arapahoe High School graduate, coached the boys and girls teams at Columbine High School from 1982-2008, and the programs combined to capture nine state title and eight runnerup finishes in his tenure. He was the CHSCA Coach of the Year five times.
Butler runs 23rd at Nationals Ben Butler, the two-time Class 3A state champion from SkyView Academy, finished 23rd in the Nike National Cross-County Championships held Dec. 5 in Portland, Oregon. He was timed in 15:31.70.
Baseball could get RPI head start RPI stands for rating percentage index, and high school sports followers had better get used to the term. All Colorado team sports will use RPI, instead of wild card points, to determine state playoff qualifiers starting in 2016-17. However, according to CSHAANow. com, the baseball committee has approved a proposal that RPI be used to qualify teams in all classifications for the 2016 season, and could be the first sport to use RPI for post season qualifying. The Legislative Council must approve the recommendation during its January meeting and results of out-of-state games will not be used in the RPI ratings. RPI ranks teams based on wins, losses and strength of schedule. If the baseball committee’s pitch passes, 10 Class 4A league champions would automatically qualify for postseason play. The remainder of the bracket will be determined by the RPI. The eight host teams for the regionals will be decided by the league winners with the highest RPI. In Class 5A, the eight league champs automatically advance to the postseason with the remainder of the 32-team field finalized by RPI standings. Teams ranked 1-8 in the RPI would host regional tournaments, but league champs would not necessarily be host schools.

Heisman runner-up sets pace for brothers Valor Christian grad Christian McCaffrey had a record-breaking season at Stanford By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Valor Christian junior quarterback Dylan McCaffrey recalls when he and his brothers would sneak onto the Country Club at Castle Pines golf course to play football. Dylan, older brothers Max and Christian, and younger sibling Luke each had their own dreams while running on the manicured grass near their home. “We used to play together all the time,” Dylan said. “We lived on a golf course, and when we were growing up we’d all go out on the golf course in a big grass area and play. The maintenance people never liked it. We’d always get kicked off, but we were out there almost every day playing football.” Christian’s dream almost became reality last weekend. The Stanford sophomore running back and former Valor Christian standout was a Heisman Trophy finalist. He spent time in New York City, did myriad interviews but was the runner-up when Alabama running back Derrick Henry was announced as the Heisman winner on Dec. 12. McCaffrey, who broke Barry Sanders’ NCAA record this season with 3,496 all-purpose yards, garnered 290 first-place votes (32.4 percent) and 1,528 overall. Henry won with 1,832 points and 378 (42.2 percent) first-place votes. Clemson sophomore quarterback Deshaun Watson was third with 1,165 votes. Henry gained 1,986 yards in the same number of games but had just 139 more yards rushing than McCaffrey, the Pac 12 Offensive Player of the Year, and didn’t come close to matching McCaffrey’s all-purpose yardage. There was a Heisman watch party at the Valor Center Performance Hall in Highlands Ranch, with 180 supporters in attendance to view the awards program. “All the predictions I heard were pretty much carried out,” said Jon Kozan, who has been Valor’s football statistician since the school opened and has watched all four McCaffrey brothers play. “These days, people kind of know where people are going to vote. I heard it said best, ‘Christian probably should have won, but Derrick Henry was who people voted for.’” Brian Bonn is now a photography teacher at Valor

File photo but used to have Christian McCaffrey in his Valor Sports Network class. “To have this many people out to support Christian in his Heisman run is a blessing,” he said. “To watch Christian up on stage, he hasn’t changed a bit. He’s every bit as humble as he used to be, and he’s every bit as loving as he used to be. Just to see him up there is such a blessing for us as a school. “It’s the fact they had question marks around Chris-

tian. They wondered if he would be as dynamic as he was when he was in high school. He proved to the entire state that he is that good.” Valor Athletic Director Jamie Heiner feels that Christian McCaffrey, Colorado’s high school career all-purpose record holder, has brought attention to Valor and Colorado. “I actually felt like we were at the Heisman presentation,” he said. “It was awesome but it was a bummer to see him not take it home and not win the Heisman. But just to be able to celebrate him as a young man and who he is as a person is spectacular and to see the support he has gotten from faculty, staff, students, and coaches is tremendous. “It does a lot for our school to highlight the talent, but really as a state it does shine a light on Colorado because there are a lot of great football players that play in Colorado and we don’t get the recognition that other states do.” Christian not only had support at Valor Dec. 12, but also in New York City. Valor coach Rod Sherman was on hand at the awards ceremony along with Christian’s parents, Ed and Lisa, and his brothers. Max is a senior wide receiver at Duke and was a state champion at Valor state champion. Dylan led the Eagles to the state championship on Dec. 5. Luke is a Valor freshman who was a quarterback for the junior varsity team and played some defensive back on the varsity. And, of course, Ed McCaffrey was a standout wide receiver for the Denver Broncos. Christian, 19, was trying to become the youngest Heisman winner, but instead became the third player raised in Colorado to finish second. The University of Colorado’s Byron “Whizzer” White was second in 1937. Terry Miller (Oklahoma State) was the 1977 runner-up. “(Christian’s) success helps all the brothers,” said Dylan. “It motivates us to work harder. We’re all so proud of him. He is always making sure we have our heads on straight. He’s been such a good role model. He makes sure we do the right things and work hard. He never forces us to play football or anything. He just says, if you like it, do it.” Luke has to follow in the footsteps of three successful brothers. “It can be overwhelming at times,” Luke said. “All three of them have done a good job of watching over me. Christian’s success helps to show us what we need to accomplish to reach the same goals as he has.”

SOUTH METRO ATHLETES OF THE YEAR
Hard work pays off for Parker Klein
Ponderosa junior lauded as soccer player of year
By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Parker Klein worked hard to be the best. And he is the best this season in the south suburbs of Denver, as he was named the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Soccer Player of the Year. “I performed really well,” said Klein, a Ponderosa High School junior. “It was one of the best seasons I’ve had in a long time, and it was the most fun. “I trained almost every day this season, whether it was team practice or in the gym with my friends or even just getting out and shooting on the weekend when we didn’t have games. It was just that constant feeling that I would sure like to be the best. If you really want to be the best you have to live, breathe and experience soccer
to the fullest.” Klein, a midfielder, led the Class 5A Continental League in goals with 20 and points with 49 while playing for the Class 4A Mustangs. “Parker was a junior captain,” said Ponderosa coach Jim Engels. “He is well-liked by his teammates and a great team player. He is very humble and very coachable. In the 17 years that I have been at Ponderosa, he is the best all-around player that I have ever coached.” Klein, who has played for the Real Colorado national team, was the co-player of the year in the Continental League. “My preparation and overall mindset helped me this season,” offered Klein. “The way I prepared my body helped a lot. My diet and coming in with the mindset to have fun and using that confidence I was building over each game helped. The confidence and just having fun helped me. “It’s weird but it’s also fun to just kind of overcome the challenges on and off the field. If you do that, the success is that much more special.”

Cross Town Throw Down The town of Parker launched the boys basketball season with its Fifth Annual Cross Town Throw Down featuring friend-
ly competition between Chaparral and Legend. Legend senior Andre Hogan won the 3-point shooting contest. Titans senior Danny Garrick was the winner of the dunk competition. And Legend won the hot shoot drill. Chaparral freshman Joseph Dalton was the skills challenge winner, and the Wolverines won the faculty

6-foot-5 junior guard Corey Seng, who has great hands and a 6-9 wingspan, and quick sophomore guard Kaison Hammonds. Porter, a senior standout who played tennis for Legend, which helped his lateral movements and footwork, is always called upon to be a defensive stopper, but he also led the Titans last season with a 13.6 scoring average. “You can score and do all those things, but one of the little things that people don’t take away is defense,” said Porter. “In this day and age, people don’t focus on defense enough. I’ve always been the person put on the other team’s best player. I’ve always been OK being the defensive player because if my shots aren’t going on offense, I’m not going to the rim, or if they are shutting me down, you can make it up on defense. “Defense is a big part of the game. If you play defense you can win a lot of games. On defense it’s just not one person. We focus a lot on help defense. I love defense. I get half my points in a game off steals. I’m OK not scoring because we have the ability to have scorers. Any great player plays good defense and that leads to offense.”

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF DEC. 14, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) At this time you might want to resist that otherwise admirable Aries penchant for getting to the heart of a matter quickly. Keep in mind that a delicate situation calls for patience. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your aspects favor more diplomacy and fewer direct confrontations when dealing with a relationship problem. Avoiding hurt feelings can help in your search for the truth. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Positive aspects are strong this week. Although you might still have to deal with some problems caused by a recent period of turmoil, you are making progress, and that’s what counts. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A family matter could benefit from your counsel. But don’t come into it unless invited, and don’t stay if you feel uneasy. Just remember to reassure one and all that you’ll be there for them. LEO (July 23 to August 22) As the truth about an ongoing situation emerges, you could find that you were right to defer judgment before you had all the facts. Now would be a good time to move on to other matters. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your plans to take control of a personal situation because you feel you are best qualified could create resentment. Best to hear what everyone else involved in the matter has to say about it. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Uncovering some surprising background facts about that ongoing personal matter could make you reconsider the extent of your involvement. A neutral family member offers advice. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Religious or spiritual themes start to dominate your aspect this week. This can serve as a counterweight to the mounting effects of the season’s growing commercialization. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Taking on that recent challenge impressed a lot of important decision-makers. Meanwhile, proceed with your holiday plans, and don’t forget to include you-know-who in them.
Super Crossword & Sudoku Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Disagreeing with an opinion you can’t accept could be dicey, and your motives might be questioned. Best to wait to mount a challenge until you have support for your position. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Getting involved in helping others in this increasingly hectic period not only makes the generous Aquarian feel good, but you could also gain a more substantive benefit from your actions. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) The Piscean way of thinking clearly and objectively helps you resolve a complex situation without creating any ill will. Don’t be surprised if your counsel is requested on another matter. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of persuading people to look at the positive possibilities that make up any choices they might face. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Application (Subject Property). (All exhibits mentioned herein are incorporated by reference and may be inspected at the office of the clerk of this Court.) Applicant is the owner of the Subject Property and the gr ou n d w a te r d e c re e d i n C a s e N o . 04CW042. B. Water rights to be used for augmentation: Return flows from the use of not nontributary Dawson aquifer groundwater and return flows or direct discharge of 8.2 acre-feet per year of nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer groundwater as also decreed in Case No. 04CW042. C. Statement of plan for augmentation: Applicant will withdraw the not nontributary Dawson aquifer groundwater described above under the plan of augmentation requested herein pursuant to Section 37-90-137(9)(c), C.R.S. 0.9 acrefeet per year for 300 years of Dawson aquifer groundwater will be withdrawn through an individual well for inhouse use in one residence (0.35 acre-feet), irrigation of 6000 square-feet of irrigated area (0.35 acre-feet), stockwatering of up to 4 large domestic animals (0.05 acre-feet), and fire protection and storage (0.15 acrefeet). The remaining 1.83 acre-feet per year for 300 years will be withdrawn through individual wells used to serve 3 residences, and each well will withdraw Dawson aquifer groundwater for inhouse use in one residence (0.35 acre-feet), irrigation of 3600 square-feet of irrigated area (0.21 acre-feet), and stockwatering of up to 4 large domestic animals (0.05 acrefeet). Applicant reserves the right to amend these values without amending the application or republishing the same. Sewage treatment for in house use will be provided by non-evaporative septic systems. Return flows associated with inhouse and irrigation use will be approximately 90% and 15%, respectively. Water used for fire protection and storage is fully consumed. D. During pumping Applicant will replace actual depletions to the affected stream systems pursuant to Section 37-90-137(9)(c), C.R.S. Based on the location of the Subject Property, return flows from use of the water on the Subject Property return to the Arkansas River stream system and such return flows are sufficient to replace the total annual actual depletion. Applicant will reserve 8.2 acre-feet per year of the nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer groundwater decreed in Case No. 04CW042 to meet post pumping augmentation requirements. WHEREFORE, Applicant prays that this Court enter a Decree granting the application herein and specifically determining that vested and conditionally decreed water rights of others will not be materially injured by the plan for augmentation requested herein and for such other and further relief as may be warranted.
