VOICES OF THE COMMUNITY “To the @mountainvistahs student brave enough to #tellsomeone, thanks for helping keep a lot of people I love safe…” was retweeted 19 times on Twitter.

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com After the news of two classmates accused of plotting to kill students and staff at Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch, senior Katie Pickrell said students are coming together to raise awareness about Text-A-Tip, a reporting system that she said “essentially saved people’s lives.”

“It was a really brave thing to do,” said Pickrell, referring to the anonymous student who texted the information that led to the arrests of the 16-year-old female students before they could follow through with their plan.

Students are using the hashtag “tellsomeone” to thank the student who sent in the tip and show their support for the school.

Both teens were detained Dec. 12. One of the girls appeared in court the morning of Dec. 17, but no formal

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gavin Powell, 7, heard on the radio about kids in need at the Ronald McDonald House and wanted to do something

about it.

A home-schooled student in Castle Rock, Gavin saved up his allowance and used it to purchase brand-new stuffed animals for the children at Ronald McDonald House Denver, as well as Aurora.

“I wanted them to have a smile on their face for Christmas,” Gavin said of his reasons for giving the stuffed animals.

“I felt really good delivering the toys.”

But Gavin’s giving didn’t stop there.

“We were listening to the radio and

they mentioned that by giving $20 you can help a family stay together through the holidays,” said Rachel Powell, Gavin’s mom. “He had his allowance and said he wanted to give it to the telethon.”

Gavin said his goal was to “help the children and families stay together” during their treatment and to “put a smile on their faces” while they are at the hospital.

FACES AMONG US

HELLO

...

My Name Is

NEWS IN A HURRY County’s jobless rate among lowest in nation A recent study by the economic website, HeadlightData.com, showed Douglas County has the fourth-lowest unemployment rate in the nation among mid-sized counties with populations between 150,000 and 500,000 residents.

Using data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics that reflected conditions as of September, the study analyzed all 292 mid-sized counties in the U.S. Douglas County’s 2.6 percent unemployment rate trailed only Cass County, North Dakota; Lancaster, Nebraska; and Boulder County for lowest in the nation.

The 2.6 percent unemployment rate eclipsed a pre-recession low of 2.7 in May 2007 and is the lowest recorded rate by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics since May 2001 when it was 2.4 percent. During the recession, the county’s unemployment rate reached a peak of 7.2 percent in 2010 and was still as high as 6 percent in early 2013 and 5 percent in early 2014.

A glimpse of the people in our community

JASON ANGUIANO Runner, grandfather, leader About me I grew up in Denver and married my sweet bride, Gina, at the early age of 19. I received my bachelor of science in computer science from the Metropolitan State College of Denver in 1996. While in school, I worked three jobs to support my wife and four kids at the time. We moved to Castle Rock in 1997 and had our fifth kid. We are in love with our home town and have lived here in Castle Rock ever since.

Growing our family Our oldest daughter is married, lives in Denver, and gave us three awesome grandchildren. In the past three years, we’ve married off three of our other kids… yes, three weddings in three years! We are so proud of our kids and their spouses and what they are doing in their communities. Our youngest is a senior at Castle View High School.

Meeting new people We attend Castle Rock Bible Church and one of my passions is to meet new people. I believe we have something special in Castle Rock, a grown-up town, but you can still count on bumping into a friend at the grocery store. It truly is a special time for us in our community.

Running marathons Another one of my passions is running — which is a bit ironic since I hated running until my mid-30s.

I’ve completed three marathons, over a half dozen half-marathons, along with 5ks and 10ks. You learn a lot about yourself training for a marathon. It takes a lot of determination, motivation and self-awareness. You push yourself beyond what you think is possible and

Jason and Gina Anguiano have been married since age 19. Courtesy photo that bleeds into other areas in life.

Learning to be a leader Another one of my passions is learning about leadership through reading, listening and learning from other great leaders. I am a firm believer in the theory that the whole team is greater than the sum of its parts. I try to lead every day by honesty, integrity and empowerment.

Directing the Turkey ROCK Trot This year I was asked to be race director of the Turkey ROCK Trot. I was amazed at the outpouring of support from our sponsors, volunteers and participants. It was the highest supported event since we began over 11 years ago. We raised over $33,000 for the Douglas/ Elbert Task Force and collected 3,569 pounds of food, shattering our goal of 2,000 pounds. Despite the crazy weather forecast we had over 1,300 participants sign up! All of the proceeds go right back into our community to help families with real needs. Your generosity is overwhelming.

County budget highlights safety, transportation

Emergency communication also part of spending plan

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Transportation and public safety investments are at the forefront of Douglas County’s $346 million 2016 budget, which was unanimously approved Dec. 15 by the three commissioners.

Of the $346 million budget, $186 million goes to operations, which includes personnel salaries, service contracts and supplies for county offices to run on a daily basis.

The combined impact of traffic congestion, aging county roads, limited state funds to maintain state-owned highways within the county, and citizen survey findings influenced the commissioners’ decision to commit $118 million in 2016 to transportation-related expenditures. The road improvements include partnerships to work on roads in cities and towns within the county, area metro districts and private roads.

It also includes improvements to state highways within the county, including

Highway 85 (Santa Fe Drive), C-470 and Interstate 25 — these projects are in partnership with the Colorado Department of Transportation.

“For decades, we’ve known that more than 80 percent of our citizens and taxpayers rely on state highways within the county for commuting to work, school and other day-to-day activities,” Commissioner Roger Partridge said. “Traffic congestion is not unique to Douglas County, the metro Denver area or other communities in the state of Colorado and this nation, yet since 2008, the Federal Highway Trust Fund, a significant source of transportation funding for state and local governments, has faced a major gap between available revenue and nationwide needs, with only shortterm extensions and transfers of funds, just to keep our nation’s transportation network viable.”

Public input on spending priorities obtained from the most recently conducted Douglas County public opinion poll found that 80 percent of citizens advised Douglas County to spend the same or more money on a safe, efficient and affordable transportation system.

The second-highest budget spending priority is dedicated to community

safety, an issue supported by 88 percent of residents in the survey. Around 19 percent, or $64.5 million, of the budget will go toward community safety. This includes broadening the sheriff’s office’s presence in the southern part of the county, with six new full-time employees. The need arose because of a growing population and rising calls for service.

Fourteen of the 21 new employees approved in the budget are dedicated to public safety.

“Improving emergency communications for first responders countywide remains an area of emphasis once again for this budget year,” Commissioner David Weaver said.

An additional $5 million will add three new radio towers to the countywide network of communication towers, as well as new equipment to expand radio frequency capacity in the northern portion of the county.

The county is also supporting regional efforts by the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office and Douglas County law enforcement to address juvenile sex trafficking concerns.

Total new revenue for 2016 is projected to be $28.3 million or an 11.4 percent increase from 2015, representing a $16.7

million increase from property tax revenue, $4.5 million in sales and use taxes, as well as $3.2 million in charges for services for a total $278.4 million in projected 2016 revenues. The budget also has $56 million in funds carried over from 2015, plus $11 million in voterapproved funds for various projects.

The $16.7 million in new property tax revenues represents the county’s portion of property taxes paid by residential and commercial property owners. Of this, 61 percent is dedicated to transportation infrastructure and 23 percent to the General Fund to address the service demand created by the increase in county population.

“Seven years ago, we were facing very different circumstances,” explained Jill Repella, Douglas County commissioner and board chairwoman, pointing out that 2014 was the first year since 2008 that county revenue returned to pre-recession levels, while population increased by more than 21,000 during the same time period.

“It’s easy to scrutinize things because of what you like and don’t like,” Weaver said, “but at the end of the day, I think we’re on the right track.”

Inaccurate forecast complicates snow removal Castle Rock, county crews work to clear roadways

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com The volume of snow that fell on the south metro area was more than expected Dec. 15. But the wind and the duration of the storm complicated matters even further for snow plowing, said Wendy Holmes, director of public affairs for Douglas County.

“We have to make sure those roads are cleared for emergency vehicles, and until the snow stops, you will not find our snowplows in local streets,” Holmes said, adding that the duration of the storm postponed the ability to plow residential streets.

In Castle Rock, which received 11 inches of snow, the biggest challenge was that the storm was not forecast correctly.

Snow plows are not deployed on residential streets unless the predicted snowfall is over four inches. Originally the storm was forecast at just under four inches.

“When the forecast changed, we immediately deployed the drivers,” Goebel said. “The snow fell hard and fast fairly early on in the storm and it happened from 1 to 4 a.m.”

This caused a slightly late start plowing residential streets.

more people driving on the snow and it packs it down,” Goebel said, asking that packed snow can be dangerous because it creates icy spots, particularly in shady areas. This creates the need to use more of a mixture of salt and chemicals, which causes ruts and a rough drive when the snow begins to melt.

Goebel said moving forward, the town will keep folks on call for storms in preparation for the worst-case scenario.

“There’s a practical side of having folks on call,” Goebel said. “We can react fairly quickly for a change in the forecast, and I think we did that this time.”

Students from STEM High and Academy in Highlands Ranch work on their project during the Think It Up Live event at George Washington High School in Denver. Photos by Mike DiFerdinando

Lucy Lee and Alex Vazquez of Pomona High School created weekend survival kits for students in need.

Students pitch ideas at ‘Shark Tank’-style competition

Charitable foundation wants to start ‘new movement’ in education

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com A group of Highlands Ranch students wanted to record an album of original music to demonstrate how everyone can be creative.

A pair of students from Pomona High School in Arvada showed how they could help take care of classmates in need by creating weekend survival kits.

And students from Standley Lake High School in Westminster came up with a plan to plant trees, clean oceans and lessen the effects of global warming that can begin at individual school communities.

Young minds from across the Denver Metro area took part in a first-of-its-kind event that allowed students to pitch innovative learning ideas and win money — in part crowdfunded by citizen donors and in part funded by a number of large companies and charitable organizations — to put their projects in play.

The Think It Up Live event took place Dec. 8 at George Washington High School in Denver and drew more than 200 high school participants, along with such celebrity guests as Matt Duchene of the Colorado Avalanche and Denver Mayor Michael Hancock.

“I think this is really cool,” Hancock said. “What a special thing for this movement, this creative effort, to be launched right here in Denver.”

The science fair-meets-“Shark Tank”style competition saw students pitching projects to judges and experts, with all participating teams receiving $100 in funding credits to kickstart their ideas.

Think It Up is run by the charitable group Entertainment Industry Foundation and was created to “start a new move-

WHAT STUDENTS THOUGHT UP Project: Band Together School: STEM High and Academy, Highlands Ranch Teacher: Gregg Cannady Students: Omer Eldar, Frasier Feight, Adriana Feliciano, Kayla Ahr Idea: Record and produce an album of original music on their own and distribute it to other students and other schools.

What they said: “We really think this project will help inspire students to go out of their personal boundaries and do their own work,” Eldar said. “As a musician, it’s so hard once you get out of high school and college to get into the industry without people knowing your name beforehand.”

Project: Connecting Generations School: STEM High and Academy, Highlands Ranch Teacher: Stephanie Mendrala Students: Sydney Zibrel, Savannah Brown, Corey Hayes, Vrishank Bikkumalla Idea: Bridging the generation gap by having student volunteers at retirement homes where they will teach seniors about technology and learn from their experiences.

What they said: “Empathy is a big part of this project,” Brown said. “When you go into a retirement home you can feel like you lose your value. Being able to go in and make personal connections with people will allow us to learn from each other.” ment in support of students, teachers and schools, creating a culture of excitement about learning everywhere in America.”

The initiative invites students, age 13 and older in grades 7-12 in public schools, to work with their teachers to develop learning projects that draw on their passions and connect what they are working on in the classroom to the challenges they

Texting 911 now possible for Douglas and Elbert counties Staff report When an emergency occurs, calling 911 isn’t always an option. Members of the public in Douglas and Elbert counties can now send text messages to 911 instead, according to Douglas County.

Texting to 911 provides accessibility to the hearing- and speech-impaired population and provides an alternative to reach help in a dangerous situation when a voice call is not possible or where a voice call fails due to a high volume of activity.

While excited that the service is now available, the Douglas County Emergency Telephone Service Authority asks individuals to “call if you can, but text if you must.”

How to text to 911: Enter the numbers 911 in the “To” field.

The first text message to 911 should be brief and contain the location of the emergency and type of help needed.

After sending the first text, be prepared to answer questions and follow instructions from the 911 text recipient.

Text in simple words and keep messages brief and concise. Do not use abbreviations.

When to text to 911: If you are hearing- or speech-impaired.

When a voice call could increase a threat.

If you are injured and cannot speak.

If you are in a remote location and can only send a text message.

The four major carriers — AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless — have agreed to offer the text to 911 service. However, this does not mean the service is available in all areas or with other carriers. Should you be out of the area, for that carrier, you will receive a message stating the text service is not available and to call 911. Photos, videos and other attachments cannot be sent to 911 via text, although those capabilities will be available in the future.

Project: Weekend Survival Kit School: Pomona High School Teacher: Mary Schiefer Students: Lucy Lee and Alex Vazquez Idea: Provide students in need with essentials like toiletries and food to help get them through the weekend.

What they said: “In the beginning, they thought, ‘Not in our community.’ But they were really surprised when a counselor told them they could probably identify 30 kids per weekend that would need what they were creating,” Schiefer said. “So they want funding so they can sustain that.”

Project: Carbo Neutral School: Standley Lake Teacher: John Satter Students: Elysia Crandall, Hannah Spencer, Egan Walker and William Bird Idea: To plant trees, improving air quality and absorbing CO2.This will allow them to be carbon-neutral when they burn plastics mined from the ocean’s surface. This is a long-term project that will help clean oceans without harming the climate.

What they said: “We want to remove trash and other waste from the world’s oceans.

Trees will offset carbon emissions from this,” Walker said. “We need funding to spread the movement. The key to a project like this is that it just can’t be the four of us or our school. It has to be a national and international movement.” will face in the future.

In partnership with their teachers, students can request the materials they need to pursue learning opportunities.

At the event last week, projects were narrowed down to a final group of six, which included two teams from STEM High and Academy in Highlands Ranch.

The winning team came from West

Leadership Academy in Denver, and received $1,000 to fund its project, which raises awareness for water conservation and teaches water-saving skills. The other five semifinalists received $750 in funding credits toward their projects.

Awakening potential was a focal point of the original music album project by a group of STEM High and Academy students.

“There’s this common misconception that you have to be part of this special gifted few to make it in music,” senior Kayla Ahr said. “We want to show people that they can make it no matter what they’re good at.”

The Pomona High School students responded to a need at their school.

“We created these things called weekend survival kits for students in need at our school,” senior Alex Vazquez said. “They consist of things like toiletries, deodorant and shampoos and different things they may not have. We have nonperishable food like instant oatmeal and cup of noodles. It helps them get through the weekend.”

Standley Lake High School students worried about the world’s environmental future.

“What kind of a world do you want to live in?” student William Bird asked. “Do you want to live in a world destroyed by climate change? Or do you want to live in a world with clean oceans and clean air?”

Other Think It Up Live events are planned for cities around the country.

Jefferson County Superintendent Dan Mcminimee, who was a mentor and judge at the event, came away impressed.

“I think it’s a great opportunity for our kids to showcase their ability and to collaborate and communicate with each other,” Mcminimee said. “I hope they walk away from this saying ‘Wow, there are a lot of people who think like I do and there are a lot of ways that I can have an impact with my education besides just sitting in a classroom.’”

Food bloggers get into the spirit of giving

#BakeItForward inspires kindness in the form of food

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Yvette Marquez, a local food blogger, was looking for a way to give back this holiday season when she stumbled upon the “#bakeitforward” campaign. Each time a photo of a baked holiday treat is shared on social media with a friend tagged and the hashtag used, the Food Network donates $1 to the No Kid Hungry Foundation.

“I thought it was perfect because I could brighten someone’s day,” Marquez said, “and inspire others to do the same for a larger cause.”

Marquez, owner of Muy Bueno Cooking, lives in Highlands Ranch and teamed with two other food bloggers — Toni Dash of Boulder Locavore and Fort Collins’ Erin Seller of Dinners, Dates and Desserts. They first met at a retreat where they bonded over all things cooking.

The women have done charitable things in their personal lives, Dash said. But this year, they wanted to join forces from a food bloggers’ perspective.

“We felt like not only can we do something,” Dash said, “we can use our social media to get the message out there.”

They chose what they considered a deserving group in the community — the Littleton Fire Rescue Department.

The food bloggers spent a recent afternoon baking all kinds of festive treats: Mexican Christmas cookies, white chocolate fudge, frosted sugar cookies and chocolatepeppermint dipped mirages. They decorated small boxes with red-and-green ribbons and larger baskets with bells and evergreen branches. The project encompassed the good, old-fashioned way of preparing gifts.

“Handmade gifts are less common,” Dash said. “It feels a little bit like a dying art, but it’s still so special for people.”

The firefighters were humbled by the act

The food bloggers used #bakeitforward, a social media campaign through Food Network that donates $1 to the No Kid Hungry Foundation for every hashtag. Here, they deliver their treats to the Littleton Fire Department.

“A lot of people take for granted all they

do — on a small scale like saving animals to a large scale of saving people,” Marquez said.

Firefighter Dominic Penaflor found out the day before that visitors were coming to the station. But he had no idea what it was

about.

“We all felt very appreciated by them,” he said.

Dash felt like she received the gift that day. The experience served as a reminder of the importance to take time to do things for other people, she said.

The three women hope social media followers of the #bakeitforward campaign will piggyback on their idea this holiday season.

“We’re so blessed,” Marquez said. “And even though we’re busy, we need to take time to help others.”

Local groups back SCFD reauthorization Funding changes proposed in extension to 2030

By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com More than 100 organizations and governments in the metro area — from the Adams County commissioners, Jefferson County Cultural Council, Lakewood City Council and South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce — have come out in support of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District funding reauthorization.

“This support is very important to us, because we have a lot of work ahead of us,” said Dan Hopkins, SCFD board chairman.

“It’s going to take a good grassroots, community-based effort to get this reauthorization passed.”

The proposed reauthorization would continue the current 1 cent on $10 sales tax through 2030 to provide funding for scientific and cultural facilities in seven counties: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas (except for Castle Rock and Larkspur) and Jefferson.

“Our council voted unanimously to support this extension,” Lakewood Mayor Adam Paul said. “We here in the city really benefit, but it’s also a one-of-a-kind thing for everyone in the region.”

To ensure the question is on the ballot this November, it must be introduced and passed in the coming legislative session.

“People may wonder why we’re getting started on this so early, and that’s because it takes a lot of local support and education to get this passed,” Hopkins said. “We’ve actually been working on this for the past four years to get to the point we are now.”

In addition to the reauthorization, changes to the funding structure are being proposed. SCFD funding is broken up into three tiers: the largest organizations, such as the Denver Zoo and Denver Museum of

PROPOSED SCFD FUNDING CHANGES The Scientific and Cultural Facilities District committee proposal for distribution of the first $38 million in tax revenue by 2030 breaks down this way: Tier I: 65.5 percent drops to 64 percent.

Tier II: 21 percent goes up to 22 percent Tier lll: 13.5 percent rises to 14 percent For tax revenue over $38 million, the proposal takes this approach: Tier I: 64 percent drops to 57 percent Tier II: 22 percent rises to 26 percent.

Tier III: 14 percent rises to 17 percent.

Nature & Science, are Tier I; medium organizations like the Arvada Center and Butterfly Pavilion are Tier II; and the smallest organizations, such as The Edge Theater in Lakewood and the Northglenn Youth Theatre, are Tier III. The proposed structure change includes $15.3 million more for Tier III organizations supported by the district, and an increase of $22 million for Tier II organizations. Funding for Tier I organizations would decrease by $37.3 million to accommodate this shift.

A new organization called FACE (Friends of Art and Culture Equity) is lobbying for Tier III organizations to receive 50 percent of total funding, followed by 30 percent for Tier II groups and 20 percent for the Tier I institutions.

“Educating the public will be the biggest challenge for us, especially on what looks to be a crowded ballot,” Hopkins said. “Once people realize what is covered and who benefits from the SCFD, they understand how crucial it is.”

Q&A WITH JUDITH REYNOLDS

Communication vital to school board vice president

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com Douglas County School Board member Judith Reynolds was recently chosen as the board’s vice president.

She takes over the post from colleague Doug Benevento, who remains a member of the seven-person board.

Reynolds was elected to the board in 2013 and has previously served on school accountability committees. She has a master’s degree in education from Reynolds East Tennessee State University and a bachelor’s in education from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

Reynolds is also a volunteer Girl Scout leader and day camp director.

She took some time to talk to Colorado Community Media about her goals and some of the challenges facing the school board.

In your opinion, what are the most important issues facing the district?

Communications. We are a large, diverse district and the communications process is, at best, cumbersome. Each of our school communities have different needs and concerns that must be addressed in order to educate our students, and each of our parents receive communications and information through different mechanisms. We must communicate sooner and better at all levels, especially as we tackle the tough topics, such as finances.

Three of your colleagues were defeated in the November election. Do you believe the community supports the work the board has done since you joined it?

I believe the community supports our strategic direction. However, I believe there is room for improvement in its implementation. The community wants school choice, parents as primary decision makers in their children’s education and paying our teachers as professionals. The community at large, including the

NANCY GRIPMAN: 1926-2015

Volunteer, longtime Parker resident leaves lasting legacy

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Imagine a person who leaves a lasting impression on everyone she meets. That was Nancy Gripman.

Gripman even impacted people she’d never met through tireless volunteering that spanned decades. And even though the world lost Gripman Dec. 1 at the age of 86, her legacy and fruits of her labor are firmly intact, carried on by the many people Gripman rallied for whatever cause she was working on.

“She would call after she knew me and would say, ‘I have a favor to ask,’” said Genese Sweeney, a close friend of Gripman’s since 1997. “I knew immediately it was going to be something for someone somewhere, and she wanted me to be involved.”

That’s how most people knew Nancy Gripman — as a sweet, yet spunky woman with a heart for anyone who needed help.

She was affectionately referred to as “the Energizer Bunny,” Sweeney said.

Gripman helped start the Parker Task Force food bank, was instrumental in historic-preservation projects, helped local children learn to read, and sent school supplies to the other side of the world through the Rotary Club of Parker.

She also helped start a Douglas County chapter for Women Infants and Children, which assists with food and nutrition, and “endlessly collected” eyeglasses for the less-fortunate on behalf of the Lions Club.

Outside of donating her time to a

cause, Gripman was boundlessly adventurous. Suzanne Pletcher, Gripman’s daughter, remembers zipping off to random locales across the country as a child.

“We never went to theme parks,” Pletcher said. “We would go to a national park. We were always tromping through the woods. It was a wonderful way to grow up.”

When Gripman was in failing health beginning last summer, Sweeney was one of two close friends at her bedside. A plan to give Gripman a tour of the new, spacious Parker Task Force headquarters in August was postponed because Gripman wasn’t feeling well. A month later, however, her friends and family members made it happen. What happened next was a moment that warmed the hearts of those who bore witness, Sweeney said.

“The minute we got her in there in the wheelchair, it was just like magic,” said Sweeney, who was inspired to volunteer for the task force in 1997 after Gripman asked for help from members of her church. “She was her old self. She was so thrilled to see that, what it had become and how many more (people) it was serving every day.”

Sweeney is among those who will speak at Gripman’s memorial service at 10:30 a.m. Jan. 9 at Parker United Methodist Church, 11805 S. Pine Drive.

The memorial service is “open to anybody who knows her,” Pletcher said.

Gripman is survived by her husband, Bill, four children and numerous grandchildren.

70 percent who don’t currently have children in our schools, approve of the fiscal prudence and management of the school district’s budget. It’s a common misconception that the previous board of education was a monolithic entity. In fact, just as we do now, we had a diversity of opinion. I think that’s healthy and necessary.

As a leader, what can you do to help bridge the veteran members of the board with your new colleagues?

I firmly believe that we have more areas of agreement than disagreement. We need to work together and concentrate on those areas of agreement. Under the leadership of (school board President Meghann) Silverthorn and myself, we will continue to ask the important questions, to address the tough issues and to improve communication with our community. Tough conversations are vital in finding solid, practical and creative solutions to any issue that the board might face. While we may have differences of opinion, we are all interested in finding solutions that benefit our community and serve

our students, parents and teachers in providing the best possible education to our students.

How do you think the community views their relationship with the board?

In my day-to-day conversations about education, I regularly find common ground with the people I am engaging with. I can better speak to how I as a board member view my relationship with the community.

I think the occasionally vitriolic commentary by some community members deters many from seeking a relationship with the board. I would like to find additional ways to encourage people to constructively engage with us and productively work together on ideas about what they’d like to see improved in our student’s education. Our community is not monolithic in its opinions of the board or on education issues. Just as the board represents different views and constituents, the relationship with the community at large is more about ensuring two-way communication and respectful, productive relationships.

Cyclocross

HOW TO REGISTER

Continued from Page 1

“Bryan and I worked for the past six weeks on this race, which would normally take six months to a year,” said Kyle Sipes, who co-founded RaceCO.org with Bryan Derstine.

Cyclocross is a form of cross-country bicycle racing usually done in autumn and winter.

Bringing the race to Winterfest is about making an impact, Sipes said.

“They’re just trying to give back to the community and say, ‘We’re Castle Rock and we’re a little bit better than everyone else’ — and we believe in that as well,” he added.

RaceCO.org started just over a year ago with races on Wednesday nights. Going into year two, the duo aims to create a family-based atmosphere with races available for every skill set.

“It’s a great way to kick off the new year,” Sipes said.

Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donahue will be participating in the fat bike race.

The Cold War Classic will feature five classes: junior, beginners, sport, open and fat bike. The race will being at 3:30 p.m. Register at raceco.org.

The Resolution Run 5K will start at 4 p.m. Register at stridemob.com/events/2016-resolution-run/.

“We thought it was a great idea for him to be a leader — the grand marshal,” Sipes said. “Getting somebody who’s that big of a figure in the community to participate in our event — we’re psyched about it.”

Winterfest will also feature a Resolution Run, a 5K presented by StrideMob; ice carving; and other outdoor activities. Live entertainment, food, vendors, a petting zoo and adult beverages will also be available.

“This is the first year that we’ve stepped up our events between Starlighting and New Year’s,” Donahue said. “We think it’s going to be a great addition to what we’ve started doing this year. We hope to see events like this not only during the winter, but throughout the year as well.”

“He told me it’s better to give than to receive,” Powell said. “My son is always thinking of others and I’m so proud of him.”

Gavin was introduced to the Ronald McDonald house last year, when living in Orlando. There, Gavin and his mother made breakfast for the families and Gavin was hooked on helping people. He and his mother also helped pack food for homeless children through the nonprofit Feeding Children Everywhere.

Gavin’s next venture will be to help sort food at a local food bank.

“No matter how small you are, how young you are,” Gavin said, “you can make a big difference.”

Best thing to do: Think of the best I am sure that you have seen the lists too, you know the kind I am talking about, right?

Those lists that provide us with “The Best States to Live In,” “The Best Doctors,” “The Best Diets,” “The Best Restaurants” and the “Best” anything and everything.

These are very helpful lists when we really need or want that kind of information. And I am sure a lot of research goes into each list before it is published, and I also believe that opinion plays are a large role in who and what makes those lists. Unfortunately I also know that marketing dollars sometimes influence or persuade the publisher to include certain items, companies or people on those lists.

The majority of us do not play a part in publishing those “Best of” lists; most times we are simply consumers of the information.

Other times we have participated in a survey and actually contributed to the results as we share our thoughts and opinions to help generate or influence the outcome.

Now what if we were to create our own “Best of” list? What if we were to think of all the “Best” things we can say or do to make a positive difference in our lives or the lives of others? We might have a Top 10 List of actions and attitudes that can brighten our day or influence the outcome of those around us in a better way.

What would a few of those lists look like? Here are some thoughts to help you get started.

“The Best Words to Include in My Daily Vocabulary:” love, kindness, excellence, forgiveness, family, purity, humbleness, success, achievement, Michael Norton winner, beautiful, comWINNING passion, hope, encouragement and faith.

WORDS “The Best People I Know:” my mother, my father, my husband, my wife, my daughter, my son, my best friend, my boss, my employees, my associates, my coach, my partner, my grandparents, my teacher, my students, my trainer and my bartender.

“The Best Things I Can Do Today:” give someone a hug, smile, laugh, love, pray, exercise, volunteer, listen, be patient, be kind, be compassionate, learn, read, stay positive, stay focused, be proactive, meet someone new and try something new.

I am sure you can come up with your own “Best of the Best” list all on your own.

The challenge is that we typically just wait for someone else to provide us with a list or publish a list that tells us what the “Best of the Best” is. When it comes to our personal preferences and opinions, we already know what would be on our list, don’t we? We just don’t take enough time to create those lists and understand their importance and relationship in our day-to-day lives.

Try it with me, either get some paper and write them down or create your “Best of the Best” lists on your computer, phone or tablet. You will be amazed at how good it feels to capture your thoughts and feelings about who and what makes your “Best of” lists.

How about you? What are some of the “Best” places, companies, restaurants, hospitals, schools that would make your list? Who are some of the “Best” people you know, love and respect? Who are some of the “Best” doctors, lawyers, teachers, police officers, nurses, respiratory therapists, friends and relatives that you know? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com.

And when we create and publish our own “Best of the Best” lists, it really will be a better than good week.

Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

QUIET DESPERATION

like this.

The following is huge, and “The Force Awakens” will make a ton of money.

We all make choices. Almost anything can be appreciated by someone somewhere.

Bruce Willis, Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler sell tickets. To whom and why? It’s inexplicable to me.

I know that I am an exception. I have not gone to see a movie in 15 years.

My preferences are documentaries. And well-written scripts. Not space monkeys.

I suppose if you were hooked on these films when you were a kid, you might take the kid that was still in you to watch the latest installment with enthusiasm.

I never got hooked. Thankfully.

Please save your emails.

This isn’t an indictment. It’s simply a reminder that not everyone is on board.

When I read about related theme gatherings, my skin crawls.

But maybe they are fun.

One of my therapists asked me what I did for fun.

I said, “I don’t have fun.”

But of course I do.

I enjoy this — writing — as much as anything in my life. One word after another, chosen out of a lifetime of caring about one word after another.

Grief, sorrow can have role in holiday Is Christmas celebration appropriate when we have troubles and sorrow? Is it possible?

This is the most wonderful time of the year.

The lights, the music, and hustle and bustle of shopping warm our hearts and brighten our spirits during this time of year when the nights are longest and the coldest days of the year are still ahead.

We dream of a white Christmas and promise that we will be home for Christmas. The mere imagination of being together with family, going to church, singing the carols and lighting a candle helps to change our mood and causes the worst Grinch to bring cheer with extravagant expressions of generosity.

But this most wonderful time of year has severe challenges too. There are suicides and increases in addictive behavior. Loneliness feels worse. When things go wrong, like fatal accidents, terrorist attacks, illnesses that don’t get better, births that come early and present profound complications, then the celebration is interrupted by emotionally numbing shock and pain. Instead of celebrating, we wonder how we can go on, since life will be never be the same again. Those who are absent because of death or crisis are dearly missed.

Stress increases too. The traffic, travel and spending turn up the anxiety levels. When

money does not go far enough or if there is an end-of-year layoff, car problem or broken relationship, a sense of wellbeing or ability to enjoy pleasure can be stolen from us.

I’ve been journeying with grieving people and others going through painful life changing cirDan Hettinger cumstances. Together we FAITH search for a way to celebrate so a small glimmer MATTERS of hope, joy, peace and love will shine in our dark places, the way that the light of a candle simply and warmly shines at a Christmas Eve service.

One of my most valued colleagues in the field of care and grief ministry, Karen Schoenhals, writes: “To successfully grieve, not sinking into bitterness and despair, is to allow room in our hearts for both joy and sorrow to exist, to be experienced simultaneously, and to be openly acknowledged together. And the beauty of Hettinger continues on Page 11

American Legion and Douglas County Living receive final grants of year

No information was available on when the other teen was scheduled to appear in court.

A possible charge against the girls includes conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. The two are being held in “secured facilities.”

The students’ names have not been released because they are juveniles. If they are charged as adults, more information will be released to the public.

Sgt. Lori Bronner, spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office, was unable to release details of the threat. But the sheriff’s office called it “credible” and acted immediately, according to the news release.

At a news conference Dec. 16 at the Douglas County School District administration building in Castle Rock, Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen assured the community that safety is the district’s top priority. “… we know the gravity of what has happened in the past and we are committed to doing everything we can do to make sure our staff and students are safe in this district,” she told a room crowded with members of the media.

Citing the ongoing investigation, Fagen said she couldn’t release details of the in-

Do you have a writer in the family? Encourage them.

Twenty minutes ago, I didn’t have an idea for a column, until I spotted an article about “The Force Awakens.”

It was ranked in the Top Five films of 2015, and it hadn’t even been released yet.

“Star Wars” and “Star Trek” are completely lost on me.

And, man, am I glad.

They just seem imbecilic.

Of course, I am not exempt from guilty pleasures.

College football for one.

I was in Michigan Stadium when Michigan played Northwestern in 2015.

My father attended Michigan.

He worked at the Men’s League, in the cafeteria.

He told me that on game days, they let everyone go in time to see the kickoff.

That was in the late 1930s.

So college football is in my DNA. Someone said, “Your DNA is your DNA.” Huh? When I was a kid, I saw a few of those

Christmas is Emmanuel, God with us, who lost everything when He came into this dark world to save us — to walk with us through our dark path of grief and give us joy.”

If our celebration is merely a commercial event full of decorations, spending, entertainment and gatherings, as nice as they may be, it is does not reach the deepest parts of our soul where joy and sorrow mingle.

But when our celebration comes from a deeply spiritual experience, born in us by the humble birth of the Christ child into a world of darkness, conflict and confusion, then we realize the source of all this cele-

Flash Gordon serials. I was very entertained by the special effects.

Rocket ships were kind of like marionettes. I could see the strings.

Acting was over the top.

Dramas were contrived.

I may have had the hots for Flash’s girlfriend, Dale Arden.

Flash was played by Buster Crabbe. What a great name. Say it out loud: “Bust her crab.”

Crabbe had been an Olympics gold medal winner in the 400-meter freestyle swimming event.

He was very handsome and looked like someone who would be named “Flash.”

For some reason, I didn’t experience a carry-over from Flash Gordon to “Star Wars.”

I was a film minor in college. We were only shown one outer-space film: George Mélies’ 1902 “A Trip to the Moon,” which is exquisite and recommended to all of you who will queue to see “The Force Awakens.”

In the infancy of cinema, Mélies was ingenious.

Like I said, I would rather watch Bob Vila spackle a crack.

But have a good time, and try to stay awake.

I wouldn’t be able to.

This awakening in me has enriched my Christmas celebration. Planning a Blue Christmas service (email me for more information) made it clear that even when we have trouble and sorrow, our activities might be more subdued and tears may be present, but by making room for the Christ child in the deepest, loneliest and most painful place in our souls, celebrating at Christmas is possible and then it is the most appropriate.

July, Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Generally, the flags are also posted for most of the summer and part of the fall.

The application for the grant stated the elements are hard on the flags and must be replaced regularly. The application also explained how hanging the flags helps demonstrate the town’s patriotic support to its citizens and honors all veterans.

Another $500 was awarded to Douglas

County Living for its Toys for Tots fundraising dinner. The organization hosts a sitdown dinner at Cielo at Castle Pines to raise money for Toys for Tots, which collects toys at Christmas for children in need across the country. Douglas County Living provides toys to the Douglas/Elbert Task Force and the Castle Rock Police Department for local families.

ABOUT TEXT-A-TIP Text-A-Tip is offered in high schools in Douglas and Elbert counties.

Students are encouraged to use the service if they are aware of illegal or potentially harmful activities. Texts are sent anonymously to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. The tipster receives a confidential code, which allows him or her to add more information later.

“We read every single tip and determine the most reasonable person to handle the tip,” said Sgt. Myra Buys of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. “If it’s during school hours, we notify the school resource officer.”

Students can find the code that allows them to send in a tip on posters at their school or by asking a school authority.

she said, “and the district has layers and scaffolding of security measures to ensure safety.”

Fagen also highlighted the courage it took for the anonymous teen to inform authorities.

“They took what would feel like a risk as a teenager of sharing some very important information with adults,” she said.

Highlands Ranch residents also ex-

pressed their gratitude on social media to the anonymous tipster.

“To the child who alerted authorities of the two girls who have recently been arrested at Mountain Vista High School, you have my sincerest gratitude,” Monique LaPlante Janowiak wrote on Facebook. “You may not realize it now, but you are a true hero.”

“So to the child who did the most courageous thing you could,” Anne Marie Tarjan Robbins also wrote on Facebook, “I applaud you, praise your amazing strength and self-esteem.”

Mountain Vista Principal Mike Weaver alerted parents about the incident in an email Dec. 15.

The school district released a statement Dec. 17 from Weaver, whom they said was not available for interviews.

“In valuing a true inclusive school community where relationships and an accepting culture and climate are core philosophies, we can never forget the incredible good that takes place at Mountain Vista each and every day,” Weaver wrote. “The unfortunate events of this past week have spotlighted a community that cares deeply about their families, their school and each other. I could not be more proud of Mountain Vista.”

Weaver said the staff and security team have done a strong job of keeping the school “safe and secure.”

And senior Tyler Felske said he does feel safe. Mostly, he said, students are shocked.

“I think everyone’s taking it seriously,” he said. “We just don’t know how to react.”

EATING WILD Meet the people who take an adventurous approach to dining

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Haggis. Tripe. Rocky Mountain oysters.

Menu items that turn one diner’s stomach present an opportunity for a more adventurous eater. It’s often finedining spots that serve the most exotic dishes — La Sandia in Lone Tree, for example, offers chapulines guacamole made with avocado and “crispy grasshoppers.” Places like The Fort, an award-winning establishment in Morrison, serve arguably the best wild game in the area and delicacies like braised bison tongue.

There also are a few well-known eateries that appeal to the everyman and everywoman, like Biker Jim’s Gourmet Dogs, a locally grown favorite with locations in Highlands Ranch and Denver. They boast of slinging “nationally renowned dogs to a posse of meatheads,” and proudly serve unique foods like rattlesnake, cactus and reindeer.

The attraction An “I’ll-try-anything-once” attitude has led Denver resident Michael Simon to some interesting fare. Luckily for him, he lives just blocks away from the Buckhorn Exchange, an Osage Street locale that draws daring diners from all over the state.

Simon has tried its Rocky Mountain oysters (if you’re new to Colorado, look it up and make sure you’re sitting down) and sampled the yak. He also tasted sautéed lamb testicles a few years ago at the Denver-area restaurant Argyll and describes them as “iron-y.” Simon grew up in Mississippi eating wild game that his dad brought back from hunting trips.

“American culture is so tame, sticking to beef and chicken,” he said.

For Sydney Earhart, of Parker, trying exotic foods is a chance to expand her palate. The 23-year-old has eaten octopus, squid ink caviar and chicken hearts, and admits to being “curious about brains.” She considers cow tongue the “least terrifying” of the delicacies she has tested. Earhart credits being introduced to sushi at a young age for her exploratory eating habits.

Getting past the fear factor Many people have a hard time getting over the idea of eating intestines or stomachs.

Duy Pham, executive chef at the upscale Parker Garage in downtown Parker, considers himself “very open-minded” to what some see as bizarre foods and argues that it’s all about the flavor and

At left, Matt Wolf, chef at BESO Tapas & Wine Bar in Highlands Ranch, holds a plate of oxtail. Above, Travis Nicoletti, manager at Biker Jim’s Gourmet Dogs in Highlands Ranch, pours a sweet bacon chutney over a Jack-A-Lope dog, which combines jackrabbit and antelope meat.

WHAT THE HECK IS IT? Haggis — a Scottish dish consisting of a mixture of the minced heart, lungs and liver of a sheep or calf mixed with suet, onions, oatmeal and seasonings and boiled in the stomach of the slaughtered animal.

Tripe — the first and second divisions of the stomach of a ruminant, especially oxen, sheep or goats, used as food.

Rocky Mountain oysters — beef testicles battered and fried, considered gourmet dining in the American west. manner of preparation. He has an ability to overlook where the meat comes from on the animal and points out people do the same every day without knowing it.

“Bologna and hot dogs are a lot grosser than head cheese,” Pham said. “You’re pretty much eating every single part of the animal, except it’s processed.”

The head cheese to which he refers actually involves no element of cheese and is part of a charcuterie plate on Parker Garage’s appetizer menu. It’s prepared by braising and then baking a whole pig or goat head for four to five hours. Along with herbs, garlic, onion and spices, the head is cooked down until the meat falls off. The meat is then compressed into a loaf and left to sit overnight to harden.

It is then sliced. The detailed process involves significant “craftsmanship,” said Pham, who supports a “snout-to-tail” approach to cooking a pig.

Matt Wolf, the chef at BESO Tapas &

Wine Bar in Highlands Ranch, makes a daily batch of oxtail, common in Spanish and Italian cuisines and a staple on the menu at BESO. It’s cooked overnight in red wine with carrots, celery and onions and served in a sauce over a canvas of polenta (review: it’s excellent). Customers are occasionally “freaked out” by the idea of oxtail, but once it’s brought out to the dining area, more orders come in, Wolf said. Oxtail bones are often used to flavor soup as well.

“It was always considered poor people food until chefs got ahold of it,” Wolf said, “and now it’s a little more respected.”

Cooking outside the box There’s nothing Wolf won’t attempt to cook and he said he’s “not squeamish.”

But both he and Pham said they draw the line when it comes to eating exotic primates.

During a recent trip to Vietnam, however, Pham had the chance to try fruit bat, python and king cobra. Simon balks at the Icelandic tradition of burying a decomposed shark carcass and digging it back up months later to eat.

Simon, who acknowledges having some culinary prowess, said the problem with making exotic foods is they are “hard to source,” leaving individuals who like to experiment with new and exciting dishes with tame options. That’s where the restaurants, and the chefs who power them, come into play.

Earhart is working toward becoming a chef and cooks for a family part-time.

Broadening her horizons in the kitchen, she says, will be beneficial for the future.

PLACES TO TRY UNCONVENTIONAL FOOD Parker Garage — 19420 Mainstreet in downtown Parker Exotic foods served: Head cheese, pork jowls BESO Tapas & Wine Bar — 32 W. Springer Drive in Highlands Ranch Exotic foods served: Oxtail, octopus tacos (coming soon) La Sandia Park Meadows — 8419 S.

Charlie Brown’s music encompasses the season For many families in America, a boy and his dog were the reason they let jazz into their homes.

It was 1965 when the first Peanuts special, “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” aired on CBS, featuring a soundtrack by West Coast jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi. It was a bold choice on the part of producer Lee Mendelson and director Bill Melendez, seeing as jazz had yet to gain acceptance into the homes of traditional households all over the country.

But Guaraldi’s arrangements and original compositions beautifully captured the youthful and melancholy spirit of Charles Schulz’s comic and characters.

In the process, Guaraldi created a holiday masterpiece — music that is almost instantly recognizable from the first notes and has become the soundtrack for countless Christmas moments for families the world over.

In addition to being my gateway to jazz, what has endeared the music to me is how Guaraldi captured the inherent sadness of the season in such a powerful way. He ignored the huge orchestral sweep of most Christmas music and dug into moments when you feel like it’s speeding by too fast — that you’re missing something just out of reach.

For such a merry holiday, there sure are a lot of sad songs that people love: “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” is absolutely brutal and “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” is almost a lament in Judy Garland’s original Clarke Reader version. Guaraldi’s LINER approach to the holidays isn’t as NOTES grim, but it injects some serious wistfulness to the proceedings. You can hear it in the piano in “Christmastime is Here” (the lower register and slower pace being the driving factors), with Fred Marshall’s double bass and Jerry Granelli’s drums creating a dejected shuffle beat.

Of course, this all fits a movie about a character permanently out of step with the people and times around him. A character who just wants to know if anyone really understands what Christmas is all about.

And whether or not you connect to the meaning Good Ol’ Charlie Brown finds in

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Coldplay’s “A Head Full of Dreams,” released on Parlophone/Atlantic Records Review: On what could perhaps be the band’s last album, Coldplay looks skyward and creates some of its airiest, prettiest music. It floats along like a cloud, and is a lovely grace note for this hard-working band.

Favorite song: “Up&Up” Most romantic line: “When I’m cold, cold There’s a light that you give me when I’m in shadow There’s a feeling you give me, an everglow.”

Christmas, I think you’d be hard pressed to find someone who can’t relate to feeling that gloominess every now and then.

The commercialization that perplexes Charlie Brown and Linus has become increasingly prominent in the 50 years since “A Charlie Brown Christmas” first aired.

There are times amid the scrambling for gifts and parties to attend when you need

to take a moment and breathe. The biggest mistake is thinking the season is all about stuff, about squeezing in as much as you can, and failing to take the time to enjoy a minute of it.

Guaraldi’s music is a way to do that.

Even the most upbeat tracks (“Linus and Lucy” and “Skating”) won’t have you storming ahead. Instead, they just put a little pep in your step. The slower numbers, like “Greensleeves” and “O Tannenbaum,” are ideal for quiet moments with family — or a friend or two.

I’m not suggesting the music is a dirge, or will cause uncontrollable weeping — it’s not Adele, after all. But I do think Guaraldi captured both the bitter and the sweet of the holidays on the album’s 12 songs. And that’s OK with me: As is often the case in life, the saddest moments can also be the sweetest.

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he doesn’t know, Linus, he just doesn’t know.

Rosen eases his workload on talk radio show

Longtime radio talk show host Mike Rosen announced recently that he is stepping down from his daily show on iHeartMedia’s KOA NewsRadio 850 AM and 94.1 FM and will transition to a contributor role, serving as a regular weekend host and political commentator. In addition, Rosen will be heard as an occasional guest host on both KOA NewsRadio and TalkRadio 630 KHOW. Rosen’s final live weekday show will air on Dec. 24.

“Doing my brand of radio, with 24/7 research and show prep, takes a work week of more than 60 hours. After 35 years on-air, I’ve decided to give myself a little more wellearned leisure time as I pass my 71st birthday,” Rosen said. “I’ve been with KOA for almost 30 years and have loved every minute of it. It’s a wonderful station with a glorious history and a great team of people. I couldn’t bring myself to just walk away from it, and a full-fledged retirement wouldn’t suit a Type A guy like me. So, I’m delighted to still have a presence with KOA as a part-time on-air contributor. While this may disappoint my longtime loyal listeners, to whom I’m eternally grateful, I hope they will find a little of Mike Rosen at least better than none at all.

I’m passing the baton to Mandy Connell in the midday time slot, who’s done a great job on KHOW in the morning. You’ll like her.”

Rosen has been KOA’s midday host since 1988. His role as an editorial-page columnist for both The Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News stretches back more than 30 years, and his columns have appeared in numerous national publications. Rosen has been featured as a political analyst on several media outlets, and has appeared on “The O’Reilly Factor,” “Good Morning America” and “CNN

Tonight.” In addition, Rosen has served as a guest host of “The Rush Limbaugh Show.”

Rosen is the author of the recentlyreleased book “REALITY: A Plain-Talk Guide to Economics, Politics, Government and Culture,” which features a Penny Parker compendium of Rosen’s with a focus on MILE HIGH writings, politics and economic LIFE issues.

Connell has been named the new midday host on KOA NewsRadio, effective Jan. 4.

Connell will bring more than 18 years of experience to KOA NewsRadio. She’s currently the morning host on KOA’s sister station, 630 KHOW. Greg Foster, program director of KOA NewsRadio, said: “Nobody can replace Mike Rosen, but we’re confident that Mike’s fans will connect with Mandy and she’ll bring a new perspective to KOA NewsRadio.”

Bird counts take flight as holiday tradition Roxborough, Denver among areas checked for Audubon

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Museum is great family getaway over holidays Littleton Museum boasts a collection of about 60,000 objects related to Littleton’s history — used or worn by a particular person, used in a business or in the home, used by government or individuals. From that collection, the curator has selected 125 items, ranging from clothing and toys to a parlor organ, an old Phillips radio, a washing machine, a wedding dress and the Littleton Independent editor’s typewriter, as Littleton celebrates its 125 years.

Don’t miss the carefully written booklet, available at the museum entrance, that tells a little story about each item.

Recommended for visiting family, antsy children and anyone from 4 to 80. On a warm day, the living farms are also wonderful. The Littleton Museum is located at 6028 S. Gallup St., Littleton.

303-795-3950. Hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Tuesdays through Fridays; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays; 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays.

More than a century ago, Frank M. Chapman, an early Audubon member, started the first Christmas Bird Count in 1900 as an alternative to the traditional Christmas “Side Hunt,” in which hunters competed to see who could kill the greatest number of birds and mammals in a day. Now the CBC events have international participation as “citizen scientists” attempt to track migratory birds as well as those that stay in one place year-round. The count has gone international.

In 1901, 16 state-level Audubon Societies joined together in a loose national organization and by 1903 established the first national wildlife refuge in the U.S. — Pelican Island in Florida.

In 1998, Audubon held its first Great Backyard Bird Count and 14,000 participated. There is local participation each year in the suburban area.

In December 2015, local birdwatchers, whether beginner, intermediate or advanced, are invited to join in one or more local bird counts, providing data that “allows researchers and conservation biologists to study the long-term health and status of bird populations,” according to the society’s “Warbler” newsletter.

The October issue of Audubon Magazine, in its “State of the Birds” report, predicts that based on decades of this data, by 2080, 314 species will be threatened or possibly extinct, due to loss of habitat and climate change. The article made frequent reference to the valuable CBC data that is processed through the Cornell University Department of Ornithology.

There are three different dates planned in the metro area, although the Jan. 2 Douglas County Christmas Bird Count at Roxborough State Park is the most locally oriented, with many dif-

ferent degrees of difficulty to the walks, beginning at 7:30 a.m. Register by Dec. 30, 303-973-3959. A chili supper will be held at the end with the compilation at the Visitor Center. (A $2 contribution is requested.) State park entry fee required.

On Jan. 1, the Denver Urban Christmas Count will cover numerous locations, a 15-mile-diameter circle, with varying degrees of difficulty. The best way to access a schedule, and information on which leader to follow, is to visit denveraudubon.org and look at the most recent edition of the “Warbler,” where there is a single-page chart that ranges along the South Platte and Cherry Creek, the Botanic Gardens, the University of Denver, Wash Park, Rocky Mountain Arsenal. One is instructed to call leader Hugh Kingery, 303-814-2723, to hook into this major effort.

To get involved with the Denver Audubon Society and its Nature Center at the south edge of Chatfield State Park, visit the group’s website, Denveraudubon.org.

Taos painters Newly opened at the Denver Art Museum: “A Place in the Sun: Southwest Paintings of Walter Ufer and Martin Hennings,” who both found an artistic home in Taos, New Mexico. The exhibit will be the topic for the annual Western American Art Symposium, held at the DAM in connection with the National Western Stock Show from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jan. 6. There will also be a related four-part course: “Examining Art of the Southwest,” from 1 to 2:30 p.m. on Sundays Jan. 10, 17, 24, 31. Register at denverartmuseum.org. Parking is on 13th Avenue just west of Broadway in downtown Denver.

South metro team led by dynamic pair McCaffrey, Cranmer named top offensive, defensive football players in the area

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Dylan McCaffrey grew as a player during the 2015 football season.

Dawson Cranmer didn’t grow much physically but still had a monster season.

McCaffrey, the junior quarterback who led Valor Christian to the Class 5A state championship, is the Offensive Player of the Year, while Cranmer, a senior defensive end at Chaparral, is the Defensive Player of the Year on the Colorado Community Media All-South Metro Football Team.

The team was chosen by the Colorado Community Media sports staff, with input from area coaches.

McCaffrey passed for 2,800 yards, completing 64.7 percent of his passes, and tossed 27 touchdown passes with just four interceptions in 320 attempted passes. He also ran for 592 yards and 13 touchdowns, and caught three passes, two of which were scoring receptions.

“I would definitely say he improved this year,” said Valor coach Rod Sherman. “Last year as a sophomore, the easiest thing to do was forget that he was a sophomore. Even now he is a young junior from an age standpoint. He just turned 16 over the summer.

“Among the things he has improved the most is just full command and confidence in what we are doing. There were very few times where he came over to the sidelines and I’d say, ‘Why did you do that?’ He really knows to read progressions, he knows when to get us in the right play and out of a bad play. He had an unbelievable year in the Centennial league against really good defensive backs and athletic defenses. We started running him more later in the season.”

Meanwhile, McCaffrey scrambled to avoid attracting attention.

“I improved a lot from last year, but there is still a lot of work to go for me to be my best,” he said. “But there is no personal success without the success of my teammates, and I know they all helped me being the best I could be.

“I felt more confident this season running. I got faster and a little bigger too, so I wasn’t as scared that once I got hit I was going to break in half.”

Cranmer, a 5-10, 180-pounder, is a wrestler for Chaparral, and he certainly took down and slammed many opposing quarterback this season.

The undersized lineman led all Class 5A players with 22 quarterback sacks, which resulted in 153 lost yards. He was also credited

helped me get the sacks.’

Dylan McCaffrey,

Dawson Cranmer,

Offensive Player of the Year with 24 hurries.

“The kid was unbelievable,” said Wolverines coach Rod Dobbs. “He was only 180 pounds. He was a silent general. I actually witnessed him slam a revolving door.”

Cranmer had no answer for Dobbs’ re-

Defensive Player of the Year volving door comment.

“I don’t know about that, he just uses that as a compliment,” Cranmer said. “I felt I did pretty well this season. My size helped me with speed. Speed and probably technique helped me get the sacks.

“I was usually the first off the ball. But it was hard to get into a strength battle because the linemen were usually 100 pounds bigger than I was. Wrestling did help with the mental game.”

Senior caps off killer career Smith sets school record, is named volleyball player of the year

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Ponderosa volleyball coach Rob Graham has never had a player like Allison Smith.

Smith, a senior who will play next season for Colorado Mesa, set a school record for career kills and wrapped up her final season in high school as one of the state’s best players.

She has been named the 2015 Colorado Community Media South Metro Volleyball Player of the Year.

“She was the greatest player to ever put on a uniform at Ponderosa,” said Graham.

“Allison was huge this year. She was instrumental in helping us win another (Continental) league title and another final four appearance at state.

“Allison improved her game in every statistical category this season. She ended her career with the most kills ever for a Ponderosa volleyball player. Whenever our team was in a bind, my setter, Laurel (Lech), always went to Ally knowing that she would

come through in crucial moments. She will be missed.”

Smith, a nominee for Gatorade Colorado Player of the Year, had 400 attack kills this season to give her 1,471 kills for her high school career, which was over 600 more than the previous school record. Smith led the league and state in kills per set (4.8).

She had an 11.9 ace percentage this season, 54 total blocks, 260 digs and 444 service receives.

“I definitely improved this season more mentally and also with my skills,” she admitted. “I noticed from my freshman season I grew a lot as a player, not only technical stuff but mentally towards the game.”

Mental development had both Graham and Smith smiling along with her ability to deliver kills to gain team points.

“It was more because I was young,” Smith said of her mental maturity. “When I was a freshman I was kind of more scared and had a lot more pressure that got to me and not having the mental toughness in pressure situations to not have me make errors. That’s part of the mental game.

“It’s so much fun to make a kill. It’s probably the best feeling. It’s such a good feeling and to be celebrating with your team after a kill. I can’t really explain it.”

Colorado Golf Club lands another big tourney 2019 USGA Mid-Amateur Championship set for Parker Staff report Another championship tournament is headed for the Colorado Golf Club in Parker.

The United States Golf Association announced Dec. 3 that the Parker golf course will be the host site for the 2019 U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship.

It will be the first USGA championship held at the club and the dates have been set for Sept. 21-26.

The Colorado Golf Club was the site of the 2010 Senior PGA Championship when Tom Lehman defeated Fred Couples and David Frost in a playoff to capture his first senior major title.

In 2013 the Solheim Cup, which featured teams of female professionals representing Europe and the United States, was held at the Colorado Golf Club. Europe beat the U.S. 18-10 to win on American soil for the first time since the event was created in 1990.

The Colorado Golf Club hosted a U.S. Open local qualifier in 2009 and sectional qualifiers for the U.S. Amateur and U.S. Women’s Amateur in 2007.

“Colorado Golf Club is a strategic and demanding championship venue, and we could not be more proud to welcome the 2019 U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship,” said club President Matt Kellogg in a press release. “With its emphasis on the amateur golfer, the Mid-Amateur is meaningful to our members and to golf enthusiasts everywhere. We are thrilled to have the Mid-Amateur as our first USGA Championship.”

The U.S. Mid-Amateur, first played in 1981, is open to amateurs age 25 and older with a handicap index not exceeding 3.4.

“The USGA is pleased to bring a championship to Colorado Golf Club for the first time,” USGA Vice President and Championship Committee Chairman Diana Murphy said in a statement. “The course has a proven record in both stroke-play and match-play competition, and the variety of riskreward options will allow for exciting and dramatic play, helping to identify a champion worthy of hoisting the Robert T. Jones Jr. Memorial Trophy.”

Colorado Golf Club opened in 2007, and the course was designed by Bill Coore and two-time Masters champion Ben Crenshaw. The 1,700-acre property was once an Arabian horse ranch.

CommonGround Golf Course in Aurora will serve as the stroke-play cohost for the 2019 Mid-Amateur. The Mid-Am consists of two days of stroke play with the leading 64 golfers then playing a knockout match play competition. Like the U.S. Amateur, the Mid-Am consists of two days of stroke play, with the leading 64 competitors then playing a knockout competition held at match play to decide the champion.

While the list of winners is considerably less illustrious than that of the U.S. Amateur, one notable winner was Jay Sigel, a three-time winner of this event and a two-time U.S. Amateur champion who went on to play the Champions Tour. The winner receives an automatic invitation to play in the Masters Tournament.

The 2019 U.S. Mid-Amateur will be the 32nd USGA championship contested in Colorado. The Broadmoor Golf Club in Colorado Springs will host the 2018 U.S. Senior Open.

The only other U.S. Mid-Amateur held in the Centennial State was played in 1983 at Cherry Hills, where Jay Sigel won the third of his five USGA championships, 1 up, over Randy Sonnier.

A Winter Wonderland Children’s Hospital South Campus hosts first South Pole celebration

By Alex DeWind adewind@colorado communitymedia.com Children’s Hospital Colorado South Campus in Highlands Ranch transformed into a winter wonderland for its first South Pole event on Dec. 12. The holiday celebration drew families from the south metro Denver area. Children met Santa, played games and made crafts while parents enjoyed cookies and hot chocolate.

Renato Lunnon, of Littleton,

brought his four children. His 4-year-old daughter was tearyeyed when the family left the event, he said.

“She wanted to stay longer — we were there for over two hours,” Lunnon added. “There was something for everyone to enjoy.”

The event was a collaboration of Children’s Hospital Colorado South Campus employees and its association of volunteers. More than 50 people signed up to help.

South Pole showcased what the hospital does best — make a difference in children’s lives, said Stephanie Beling, director of ambulatory and professional services of South Campus. “We made a magical difference in the children’s and family’s lives that day.”

Andrea Ferretti, interim chief nursing officer and vice president of Children’s Hospital Colorado South Campus, smiles next to Elbert the Bear during the hospital’s holiday event.

Haidyn Murray plays a festive game at Children’s Hospital Colorado South Campus’ South Pole event on Dec. 12. “We made a magical difference in the children’s and family’s lives that day,” said Stephanie Beling, director of ambulatory and professional services.

If you believe that your lender or servicer has failed to provide a single point of contact (38-38-103.1 CRS) or they are still pursuing foreclosure even though you have submitted a completed loss mitigation application or you have been offered and have accepted a loss mitigation option (38-38-103.2 CRS), you may file a complaint with the Colorado Attorney General (720-508-6006) or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (855-411-2372) or both. However, the filing of a complaint in and of itself will not stop the foreclosure process.
