Reform impact debated Pace of change, new demands cited as factors in teacher turnover By Jane Reuter

Complementary medicine can lift minds, bodies Practices like acupuncture, massage are gaining greater popularity By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Gene Barron, 62, has always led an active lifestyle. He skis about 45 days a year. He mountain bikes, plays softball and works out regularly. He does this despite suffering from continuous back pain that began at the age of 16 when he hyperextended his back playing basketball. The pain worsened as he grew older, making everyday tasks, such as bending over to pick up a shoe, or slightly turning around to reach something in the backseat of his car, difficult to manage. But regular chiropractic treatment — one of many tools in the growing trend of complementary care — has helped the Highlands Ranch pastor maintain his active life. “Regular chiropractic care, plus exercise, really helps,” Barron said. “There’s pretty much a 100 percent improvement.” Many compelling stories prove there are benefits of combining complementary medicine — which also includes acupuncture and massage therapy — with primary care, said Melissa Glassey, manager for Kaiser Permanente’s Colorado Centers for Complementary Medicine. The idea of using complementary medicine — once considered alternative medicine not offered under mainstream care and insurance — to benefit traditional allopathic medicine is growing in popularity because evidence-based medicine proves it is effective and safe, said Dr. Tracy McCubbin, medical director of Kaiser’s complementary medicine centers. Complementary medicine can help with typical conditions such as chronic and general back pain, migraines, autoimmune conditions, allergies and asthma, stress management, anxiety, depression and insomnia, she said.

Education reform may be accelerating the pace of teacher turnover not just in Douglas County but throughout Colorado, some experts say. And while some say changes can be made to soften the impact and slow turnover, others maintain it is part of the process involved in reshaping American education. Colorado and most other states adopted the Common Core initiative — a national effort to improve education standards that specify the skills and knowledge students must learn at each level. The state integrated the Common Core with its Colorado Academic Standards, and began implementing the changes with the 2013-14 academic year. The Douglas County School District designed and introduced its own version of the standards, called the Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum, in 2012. Teacher turnover is up for both entities, though the rate at which they are leaving rose more sharply in DCSD than at the state level. Colorado teacher turnover for 2013-14 was 16.65 percent, and in DCSD it was 17.28 percent. From 2012 to 2013, the pace at which teachers left their posts statewide rose 13 percent. In DCSD, it increased by 30 percent. Those numbers, compiled by the Colorado Department of Education, do not include employees who left after Dec. 1, 2013, in-district transfers or in-district promotions. The changes and added job duties the new standards entail, combined with the impact of a now-fading recession that contributed to pay freezes for many teachers, are feeding those increases, one state education official believes. Under the reforms, teachers are faced with changing curriculum, new planning methods, increased testing and self-evaluations. “It’s already a complex job,” said Bruce Caughey, executive director of the Colorado Association of School Executives. “If you lay in a combination of no raises and significantly changing demands, I think it’s taking a toll. “I do think educators are typically optimistic people who want to do the work and have a heart for it. But their burden is increasing, there’s no question.” Education reform is happening rapidly in Douglas County, which describes itself as a leader in the “transformation of K-12 education.” The first Colorado school district to authorize a charter school, and the first K-12 district to introduce a market-based pay system and district-managed voucher program, it also introduced its teacher evaluation system a year ahead of most other Colorado school districts.

The needles are tiny, she said, so they don’t hurt, and a new set of sterile needles is used for each patient. The new complementary medicine center in Highlands Ranch opened July 28. Photo by Christy Steadman “Even though some people may be skeptical of using complementary services, like chiropractic work or therapeutic massage, the beauty is it is a choice,” said McCubbin, who views herself as an integrative physician who focuses on a

patient’s lifestyle. Kaiser opened its fifth complementary medicine location in the metro area in Highlands Ranch on July 28. The idea Medicine continues on Page 11

A wealth of experience with water John Kaufman started as new general manager for Centennial Water in June By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Water is a dry topic for some people. But John Kaufman enjoys the subject because water is fundamental to everyone’s well-being, he said. “In the West, water affects everything,” Kaufman said. “It has a very direct impact on people’s livelihood.” Kaufman took over as the general manager at Centennial Water and Sanitation District on June 23. His most recent post in water management was in Leavenworth, Kan., a position he left in late 2013 to make a permanent move to Colorado. He replaces John Hendrick, who retired. “(We’re) excited to have Kaufman in this key role, serving our Highlands Ranch community,” said Terri Kershisnik, chair of the Centennial Water and Sanitation Board of Directors. As general manager for Centennial Water, Kaufman’s responsibilities include maintaining a sustainable and reliable water supply, complying with environmental regulations and ensuring longterm sustainability of the infrastructure. The manager of water resources is always looking at options, he said, including opportunities to work with neighboring communities. “The average citizen wants to know the water is there — that it’s reliable, plentiful and good quality,” said Kaufman, who has a master’s degree in geological engineering. “(My) objective is to keep costs as low as possible.” Kaufman realizes he has a unique opportunity in his leadership role. “Managers do things right, and leaders do the right things,” said Kaufman, 63. “There has to be a balance between the two.” Kaufman said an engineer’s job is to build, design and solve problems, but they are not trained to manage. Engi-

• Interests include travel and Republican politics. • Married his wife, Nancy, in December 1972. • The Kaufmans have two children: Chris, an attorney residing in Kansas City, Mo.; and Jennifer, a doctor who delivers babies at Children’s Hospital in Phoenix.

GETTING TO KNOW JOHN KAUFMAN

neers already know how to do their job, Kaufman said, so his role is to “help them do it better, motivate them and inspire them to do a great job.” Kaufman originally intended to become a lawyer, but in college, he was required to take a five-hour laboratory class in geology and enjoyed it, he said. So he kept taking geology courses, and said he excelled in the subject, versus the average marks he was receiving in the law courses. Then, one of his college advisers suggested he get involved with water. “He said water is a rewarding career,” Kaufman said. “There’s either too much, not enough or it’s the wrong quality. There’s always a demand for services.” Kaufman got his undergraduate degree in geology from the University of Kansas, and earned his master’s degree in 1975 from the Missouri School of Mines, now called the Missouri University of Science and Technology. But his bit of law training was not wasted. Kaufman does a lot of work concerning water law and water rights, which he described as challenging and rewarding work. “There’s a lot of engineering and mathematics involved,” Kaufman said. “Water law is very complex, but fascinating.” Prior to joining Centennial Water, Kaufman worked on projects in more than a dozen states and also has done some work in Japan and Mexico City, he said. Projects he has worked on include deep water supply and injection wells, acid mine drainage, geothermal resources and coal and uranium mining regarding the impacts on water resources. “(Kaufman) brings a wealth of water and wastewater experience, spanning

County ranks as 2nd best place to live

John Kaufman became the general manager of Centennial Water and Sanitation District June 23. Photo by Christy Steadman three decades,” Kershisnik said. “His familiarity with Colorado water topics will enable us to continue our established and successful water and wastewater services.” From 1998 to 2011, Kaufman was on the board of directors for the East Cherry Creek Valley Water & Sanitation District in Colorado. While on this board, Kaufman was involved with major policy decisions, which he really enjoyed, he said, and decided to make a career change from consultant to management in 2008. From June 2008 to November 2013, Kaufman was the general manager of the Leavenworth Water Department. For a while, Kaufman was commuting between Colorado for his work on the ECCV board and Kansas for his management position. He said he was able to do so because his wife was working for an airline at the time. “It’s hard for some people to take off their technical hat (because) they still want to be the technical expert,” Kaufman said. “(But) I discovered I enjoyed management far more than consulting.”

Douglas County ranks in second place on Movoto Real Estate’s new list of the “10 Best Counties in America.” “The lowest poverty on our list and the highest high school graduation rate make Douglas County the second best in the nation,” Movoto says. Two Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C.: Loudoun County (No. 1) and Fairfax County (No. 3) filled out the spots before and after Douglas County on the list. The real estate website’s rankings are based on unemployment rate, median household income, median rent, median home price, high school graduation rate, and percentage of families below the poverty line.

Scammer impersonating deputy The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has received multiple reports of a fraudulent scheme where someone is representing themselves to be a DCSO Deputy. This is not the first time this has happened in recent months. Earlier this year the sheriff’s office became aware of a similar scam, in which the suspect calls people and tells them that they have a warrant for their arrest and that they need to wire money immediately to prevent them from being arrested. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said citizens should know that no law enforcement agency contacts citizens by phone, email or regular mail and tells them to pay fees or fines by wiring money, using pre-paid money cards, using a money telegram or using similar methods.

CD6 debate draws hundreds Candidates quick By Jennifer Smith

jsmith @coloradocommunitymedia.com Both the Democrat and the Republican running for the 6th U.S. Congressional District seat tried to distinguish themselves not only from each other during their first debate, but also from their own parties, to some extent. “If you’re looking for someone who’s going to defend my party at every turn, you’re probably going to need to find another candidate,” Democrat Andrew Romanoff, the former Colorado speaker of the House, said after acknowledging Obamacare needed to be fixed. “We need people who are better than pointing fingers and picking fights.” Rep. Mike Coffman, the Republican incumbent, supports a “path to citizenship” for young illegal immigrants willing to serve in the military, which is often a dealbreaker for the Republican base. “I think both parties have it wrong right now,” said Coffman. “The left wants everything or nothing. The right, well, we’ve got to get moving.” Despite the early start time of 7 a.m., the debate packed the room Aug. 14 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Highlands Ranch with about 350 observers, some sitting on the floor and others spilling out into the hallway. The debate was sponsored by the South Metro Denver and Highlands Ranch chambers of commerce. The crowd seemed fairly evenly divided among supporters of each man, reflecting the “purple” nature of a district in which the race is likely to be close and closely watched around the country. Modera-

tor Aaron Harber, a political TV talk show host, praised the candidates for agreeing to debate. “Both are always willing to put themselves before the people,” he said. “Many times, candidates won’t debate, or they’ll pretend they will and they don’t.” These two certainly did. Immigration was a hot topic, with reform activists gathered outside the hotel. The two men agree in principle that something must be done, but Romanoff takes exception to what Coffman calls a “stepby-step” approach. He says comprehensive reform is needed now, and points to the recent crisis of children arriving at the border. He notes that with the exception of Native Americans, everyone’s family once immigrated to the United States. “When times are tough, we deny our heritage, and we lose a little bit of our humanity in the process,” said Romanoff. “Step by step, that would be fine — if Congress was actually willing to take a single step.” The two clashed over the issue locally in 2006, when Coffman supported Tom Tancredo’s proposed amendment that would have severely restricted services immigrants could receive from the state. Romanoff supported a legislative alternative that softened that approach. Coffman has since walked back his support of that amendment. “We need to have a system that’s enforceable,” he said. “Right now, it’s easier to stay if you break immigration laws than if you follow immigration laws.” The starkest contrast between the two came during a question about abortion. “I’m pro-life, and I’m proud of that.

He added that he supports a woman’s right to access birth control. Romanoff stands firmly pro-choice. “I believe a woman’s right to choose should be protected,” he said. “I don’t want an employer telling a woman how to make her own health-care decisions. For goodness sake, we’re in 2014.” Both expressed outrage at recent scandals in the Department of Veterans Affairs and agreed that cuts to the Department of Defense budget are feasible. On foreign policy, too, they agree on much: that genocide must be prevented, that neither Bush nor Obama got it right in Afghanistan and that mistakes in the Bush administration led to the current chaos in Iraq. “I do believe it was a mistake for the president (Obama) to draw a red Debate continues on Page 5

The candidates for the 6th Congressional District, incumbent Republican Mike Coffman and Democratic challenger Andrew Romanoff, remained civil throughout their first debate, held Aug. 14 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Highlands Ranch. But there were some testy moments toward the end that saw Coffman challenge Romanoff’s leadership abilities and Romanoff challenge Coffman to give up specialinterest money. “I don’t happen to believe that congressional seats should be bought and sold to the highest bidder,” said Romanoff. Coffman countered that lobbyists are a specialinterest group and Romanoff has accepted plenty of money from them. “You went to Harvard and Yale, I went to the Army and the Marine Corps,” said Coffman. “I think there’s a difference here. … I lead.” Romanoff said he’s glad to have gotten a good education, and is running to make sure everyone can be as lucky. He said he’d give back lobbyists’ money if Coffman did the same, along with money from special-interest groups. “We could make national news right now,” he said. “Will you join me in that effort?” “I think everybody here is a special interest,” replied Coffman. Other sharp words flew over the environment. Commenting on the Keystone pipeline, Romanoff said such decisions should be made based on science, not politics. “The climate is changing, and we are contributing to its changing, even if you don’t believe the science,” he said. Romanoff did say, however, that he’d wait for the results of a pending court case to make a decision. “I think Speaker Romanoff’s answer is what’s wrong with Washington,” replied Coffman. “Everybody’s afraid to make a decision.” CD6 includes Aurora and all or part of the following communities: Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Littleton, Greenwood Village, Thornton and Brighton.

Coffman vs. Romanoff en español By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com English will not be the official language in an upcoming debate in a key congressional race. Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman and his challenger, former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff, will debate in Spanish on Denver’s Univision affiliate on Oct. 30. The rare event shows just how important the Latino voting bloc has become in Colorado, particularly in Coffman’s 6th Congressional District, where Hispanics make up about 20 percent of the population. “I’m a little surprised because primarily that district out there has been pretty white for a long time,” said Gil Cisneros, a Republican who heads Chamber of the Americas, a nonprofit Hispanic business organization. “Now, to see more Hispanics out there in the district has changed the mentality of the candidates.” Romanoff learned Spanish while living in Central America and is fluent in the language. He said he is looking forward to contrasting his views on issues of importance to Spanishspeaking voters to those of Coffman’s — an incumbent whom Romanoff said Latino voters shouldn’t trust on issues like immigration reform. “It’s a great way to celebrate the diversity of our district,” Romanoff said. “And the debate is important because the people in this district deserve to know not just what you say in Colorado, but also what you do in D.C.” Coffman is not fluent in Spanish, but he has been studying the language with a tutor ever since redistricting resulted in a much more diverse CD6 constituency. The district includes Aurora and some suburbs to the north and south of Denver. “It really just demonstrates his commitment to engaging with the Hispanic community in the district,” Coffman campaign manager Tyler Sandberg said of the congressman’s efforts to learn Spanish. “He has a dogged determination and work ethic when it comes to taking on tasks.” The Coffman-Romanoff race is expected to be highly competitive and among the most-watched House races in the country. The complexity of the purple district’s demographics has played a role in recent votes by Coffman on issues that are of particular importance to the Latino community. Prior to redistricting, Coffman twice voted

in favor of making English the country’s official language. Since then, his positions on certain issues have softened. Most recently, he bucked the majority of his party in voting against a bill that sought to end a program that shields young undocumented immigrants from being deported. Sandberg said Coffman has been working hard to reach out to Latino voters in a district that is “as diverse, if not more diverse, than America,” referring not only to the district’s large Latino population, but also its well-represented black and Asian demographics. But Romanoff’s campaign is doing its best to try to convince Latino voters that Coffman is not the person he says he is these days when it comes to key Latino issues, like immigration. “This is a congressman who calls Tom Tancredo his hero, the Dream Act a nightmare,” Romanoff said. Coffman’s campaign believes that Romanoff is the candidate who is going to be a tough sell to Latino voters because of some of the tough immigration legislation he saw through as House speaker in 2006. Sandberg said Coffman sees efforts to reach out to different voters, such as speaking Spanish, as a way to better understand a group of voters that is growing in numbers and political strength. “Yes he has changed,” Sandberg said of Coffman. “He’s now learning a language to understand what his constituents are feeling every day.” Cisneros said that both candidates face challenges in trying to win over the Hispanic community. But Cisneros said that is particularly true of Republican candidates, especially on the issue of immigration. “Even though I’m a registered Republican, I still think the issue (with Republicans) as far as I’m concerned is immigration and Hispanic advocacy,” Cisneros said. “People say that immigration doesn’t mean as much to Hispanic voters as what is reported, but I think there are Hispanics who are very concerned about how Hispanic people are treated.” Cisneros said that Latino voters’ growth in political strength has been “a long time coming,” and the congressional debate being conducted entirely in Spanish is a perfect example of how far things have come. “You used to hear a slogan of `don’t wake sleeping giant,’” Cisneros said. “I’m a 70-yearold man and it’s taken a long time to get to this point.”

School transparency issue heads to ballot Collective bargaining negotiations could be forced into public light By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com An effort to require school boards to open up collective bargaining negotiations to the public has earned a place on the November ballot. The Secretary of State’s Office confirmed Aug. 13 that Initiative 124 earned enough valid petition signatures to qualify. If voters approve, the measure would require school boards to conduct meetings that involve collective bargaining or employment contract negotiations to take place in public. Similar efforts over the years have failed at the legislative level. John Caldera of the Independence Institute, the Libertarian-leaning think tank that is behind the initiative, said the measure is about providing more transparency to the school budget process. “The only people who love closed-door meetings are the ones who are behind the closed doors,” Caldera said. Personnel costs make up the lion’s share of school district budgets and Caldera said that it’s only fair for taxpayers to know how their money is being spent at their neighborhood

line and then fail to back it up,” said Romanoff. They parted ways on entitlements, with Coffman saying eligibility requirements could be changed, wealthier people might have to pay more for Medicaid, or the feds could turn administration of such programs over to the states. “There are modest changes we can make now, but the longer we wait, the harder the decisions are going to be,” he said. Romanoff said special interests have too much influence over those decisions, and making seniors pay more is

schools. “Imagine if the Joint Budget Committee (the legislative group responsible for putting together the annual state budget) was closed-door and nobody could go in there to see how the largest part of Colorado’s budget is spent,” Caldera said. “People would be rightfully indignant.” But those who oppose the measure argue that opening up the negotiation process to the public would have an adverse impact on negotiations. And what works best for one school district isn’t necessarily a good fit at another. “When we have some of these issues that seem to be repeated every time, we think of a one-size-fits-all solution,” said Bruce Caughey, executive director for the Colorado Association of School Executives. “It doesn’t fit for every community. It attacks the autonomy of local school boards.” Caughey said that opening up contract talks to the public would have “a chilling effect on conversations between teachers and school board members.” Caughey also said that, if passed, the measure would lead to sensitive matters being aired for the public to see, a confidentiality issue that could be “ripe” for litigation. “The last thing we need to do now is drain money out of instruction because of increased cost in litigation,” he said. The initiative comes at a time when relations between unions and school boards are tense in some districts. That’s especially true in Douglas and Jefferson Counties, where reform candidates swept into power last year, putting the the wrong approach. He suggested cracking down on fraud and negotiating deeper discounts with the drug companies instead. Coffman ended the morning stressing his approach to immigration reform and support of small businesses. “I’m about finding solutions, I’m about working across the aisle and representing you with the same honor and integrity I had in the United States Army and the United States Marine Corps,” he said. Romanoff stressed supporting middle-class families and creating a clean-energy economy. “I cannot promise we will get everything I just listed done,” he said. “But if we elect the same crowd that is running Washington today, nothing is going to get done, and that is unacceptable to me.”

clamps on union power in those school districts. That’s one of the reasons why Caughey is concerned about opening up a delicate process that he believes already has enough built-in transparency. “This is just one more measure that has the potential of increased tension,” he said. But initiative backers aren’t persuaded by that argument. “The people who dislike this are the parties in the smoky back room,” Caldera said. “They will all hate it because they don’t want the accountability.”

Longtime Sky Ridge administrator named CEO Susan Hicks replaces Maureen Tarrant as hospital’s leader By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Almost ensuring a seamless transition, longtime Sky Ridge Medical Center chief operating officer Susan Hicks was named the hospital’s new president and chief executive officer Aug. 18. Hicks steps in for former CEO Maureen Tarrant, who recently accepted a position as CEO of Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center and Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children at Presbyterian/St. Luke’s. “I’m very, very honored Hicks to take on this role at Sky Ridge,” said Hicks, who’s acted as COO since the hospital’s 2003 opening. “I’ve been here since the beginning. To be able to take this role and go to the next level is

very exciting.” A South Dakota native and Parker resident, Hicks has lived and worked in the Denver area since 1977 in a variety of capacities. She worked at Denver’s Rose Medical Center for 20 years, serving as chief nursing officer and director of surgical services, among others. She and Tarrant worked together there. Both came to help open Sky Ridge in 2003. “Susan has been an integral member of the executive team at Sky Ridge since the hospital opened in 2003,” said Sylvia Young, CEO of Sky Ridge owner HealthONE. “She has been instrumental in developing comprehensive programs in neurosurgery, orthopedics, cardiology, stroke and surgery, to name a few. The Sky Ridge team and its medical staff have given her leadership, clinical depth and business acumen a resounding vote of confidence.” The biggest change coming under Hicks’ leadership is already well under way: Sky Ridge’s $117 million expansion, set for completion in late 2014. It will include 90 additional beds, four more spine and total

joint operating rooms, a two-floor Birth Place, a Women’s Center and a parking structure. “For us, the opportunity to grow along with this community has been great,” Hicks said. “We have now delivered over 30,000 babies. With this expansion, we will not only be the largest but we will be the best.” Sky Ridge, which celebrated its 11th an-

niversary Aug. 20, is expanding to meet the needs of the rapidly growing south metro area. “I really look forward to taking Sky Ridge to the next decade, particularly with all the expansion we see in Lone Tree,” Hicks said. “I think we are in a great location to be able to provide the health care that all these people who will be moving into the city are going to need.”

Daniels Park undergoes facelift Estimated $2.8 million in road improvements could follow park upgrades By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County’s final design plan for Phase II of the proposed improvements to Daniels Park are at least 80 percent complete, says Denver Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation spokeswoman Angela Casias. Once the final design is complete, the proposals will go to the Douglas County commissioners, who will vote on whether those proposals will fit within the county’s budget, Casias said. The major focus of Phase II is improvements, which includes the realignment and paving of Daniels Park Road, Casias said. Phase II also includes the construction of a new Douglas County regional trail system and fence alterations. According to the Daniels Park Master Plan, dated October 2007, the road improvements will be done on a stretch of road consisting of about 1.7 miles. The improvements are intended to eliminate dust, and improve traffic flow and safety by removing sharp curves and steep grades. The road will be designated as a rural road, and will have low-posted speeds which will not exceed 30 mph. The improvements are also intended to solve sightline issues for better outlook areas, and will have desig-

nated pedestrian crossing areas on the road, according to the master plan. The county commissioners will base the budget on the final design, Casias said, although, an estimated $2.8 million, based off the master plan, is a predicted cost for only the Daniels Park Road portion of the project. Phase I was completed earlier this year, Casias said, and included the installation of a new restroom facility, construction of a new trailhead and an entry monument. Although located in Douglas County, Daniels Park was transferred to the City and County of Denver by Florence Martin in two parcels — one in 1920 and the other in 1937. The park is rich with historical significance, including Colorado’s first Territorial Road, a pre-1864 wagon and stage road; the Kit Carson Memorial, which commemorates Carson’s last campfire in 1868; the historic Florence Martin Ranch, which was a working ranch in 1920; and a 1939 stone structure near the southern entrance designed by Denver architect Jules J.B. Benedict. The park has approximately 1,000 acres of property, 800 of which are dedicated to a bison herd. Located near the north end of Daniels Park is the Tall Bull Memorial site consisting of 70 acres, which is still used by Native Americans to carry out traditions. Concerning Daniels Park, Denver Mountain Parks has a partnership with Douglas County to enhance the appearance and sustainability of the park. In addition to the partnership with Douglas County, partnerships exist with Jefferson and Clear Creek counties for Denver Mountain Parks’ 14,000 acres of parks. Daniels Park is the only Denver Mountain Park in Douglas County.

Legal fees in campaign complaint top $113,000 District appealed decision surrounding November board election By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School District’s legal fees to appeal its court-ruled violation of the Colorado Campaign Fair Practices Act now total about $113,470. A Denver judge ruled in December 2013 that the district violated the act and attempted to influence the outcome of the November 2013 school board election. The finding focused on a districtfinanced report praising reform efforts that was emailed to potential voters. The four reform candidates won the election. School board candidate Julie Keim, who lost her bid for a seat on the board, filed the initial complaint in October 2013. The judge’s favorable ruling applied to only one of several claims in

Keim’s complaint. DCSD was not fined for the violation because Keim did not request any penalty. Since December 2013, the district has paid legal firm Brownstein, Hyatt, Farber, Schreck $103,223 to challenge the finding. “It is an unfortunate expense forced upon the district by a politically motivated lawsuit and a ruling that simply had no basis in fact,” DCSD spokeswoman Paula Hans wrote in an emailed response. “The decision creates new law in Colorado that will severely hinder our and every other governmental entity’s ability to communicate effectively with citizens on important policy issues.” Keim said the matter should have ended with the judge’s ruling, and said DCSD is trying to make the issue “bigger than it is”. “They’re using more public money to fight something that shouldn’t even have risen to the level it did the first time around,” she said. “They got a slap on the hands; that’s all they got. There was

Mom pleads not guilty to attempted murder Trial for Erin Giberti, of Highlands Ranch, set for January By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com A Highlands Ranch woman who allegedly tried to kill her two children has pleaded not guilty to attempted-murder charges. Erin Giberti, 37, was arrested last December after investigators say she took multiple Xanax pills and vodka, then got into a running car with her children, ages 3 and 6, with the garage door closed. The two boys climbed

out of the car and were found by police outside the house in cold temperatures. Douglas County Sheriff’s deputies discovered Giberti unconscious in the driver’s seat of the car. She pleaded not guilty to all of the charges, including two counts of attempted first-degree murder of a child under 12 by a person in a position of trust, during an arraignment hearing Aug. 18 Giberti at the Douglas County Justice Center in Castle Rock. Douglas County District Court Judge Paul A. King scheduled a jury trial for Jan. 26, 2015. Giberti, who is in custody, is set to appear at a motions hearing at 1:30 p.m. Nov. 24.

no reason for DCSD to appeal the judge’s decision. I cannot understand why the public is not more concerned about this use of funds meant to educate our children.” Keim’s case has so far tallied about $25,000. Donations covered about $14,000 of that amount, and Keim said she’s paid the balance out of personal funds. Two attorneys are donating their services to respond to the appeal on Keim’s behalf. The case has generated interest from other entities. Colorado Counties Inc. and the City of Arvada jointly filed an amicus brief urging a reversal of the judge’s decision, citing concerns about its potential “chilling” effect on communication with constituents. Colorado Counties is a nonprofit association that urges counties to speak as one voice on common issues. The brief argues, among other things, that the judge’s ruling has broad ramifications that could allow disgruntled candidates to interpret a variety of local government communication as favorable to

incumbent candidates. A staff attorney at Colorado Ethics Watch said it intends to file an amicus brief in support of Farrell’s ruling by the September deadline. The judge’s finding against the district applied to the paper titled “The Most Interesting School District in America?” written by the American Enterprise Institute’s Frederick Hess as part of a contracted deal with DCSD. In mid-September, the district emailed a link to the paper to 85,000 parents and community members - all potential voters in the Nov. 5, 2013 election. DCSD later revealed it had contracted with Hess to write the paper. Administrative Law Judge Hollyce Farrell found “the Hess report was commissioned and published as a means to support the reform agenda and any candidates who would further that agenda,” the ruling read. “The ALJ finds that the district spent public funds to influence the outcome of the board election when it commissioned and paid $15,000 for the Hess report.”

Strength, weakness, and the old switcheroo Maybe you have heard about this philosophy before, and then again maybe you have not. So it may come as a shock to your system or thought process. The philosophy is this: Sometimes an overdeveloped strength can actually become our biggest weakness or Achilles’ heel. An example might be the professional salesperson who has an unbelievable knack for building relationships. Our master salesperson could be so strong on the relationship side that they become too emotionally attached to their customers and are never able to talk about price increases or apply the necessary professional pressure when faced with a problem or competitive situation. They may just even revert to discounting price as a way to secure future business and falsely believe they are preserving their friendship with the client. We can clearly see this same impact when we walk into any health club. Have you ever noticed the person in the gym with incredible strength and muscle development in their upper body, but their legs and cardiovascular system receive minimal or no attention at all? They look top-heavy and seem like their upper body is disproportionally out of alignment with their lower body. They get so focused on biceps, triceps, chest, back and shoulders that their weakness is obvious in lack of leg strength and physical appearance. And their endurance suffers as well. It is good to have areas of focus and to capitalize on the things we are very good at. However, it is also easy to get so caught in the trap of overdevelopment in any one area

that we lose touch with other options or new ways of thinking. Our closed-mindedness prevents us from being open to a new paradigm or ideas from others, as we believe we have all the answers or we are certain in our belief that our way is absolutely the right way, maybe even the only way. On the other hand, when we can be honest about areas where we lack expertise, knowledge or physical capability, we have an opportunity to develop any area of weakness into a strength. If our weakness is that we are not very good at listening, we can start to practice listening skills such as taking notes, focusing the conversation on asking questions rather than always jumping in with our own answers. If we excel at selling once we are in front of a client but struggle with prospecting and qualifying, we have to align ourselves with a coach or mentor who has perfected the art of finding new clients and making sure that the prospects are qualified to buy. We can learn from their strategies and techniques to increase our personal income. Perhaps we love to cook but our weakness

Creation, fascination, and a little hesitation You have until Nov. 2 to see the Daniel Sprick exhibition at the Denver Art Museum. It’s impossible not to be in unending awe of it. Sprick lives and paints in Denver. Is he Denver’s best painter? Sprick and I have little in common. His paintings are exquisite, magical definitions of existing information — and mine are very otherwise. But I have respect, artist to artist, and a lot of it. There is a book, “Daniel Sprick’s Fictions.” Recommended. If you prefer installations, three-dimensional contemporary pageants, like a 14-foot tiger shark in a tank of formaldehyde (see: Damien Hurst), then Sprick will seem out of fashion. Thankfully. He is a painter who paints on a flat surface, and makes things look like things. Just like Albrecht Dürer (14711528) did. That’s the best compliment I can give him.

Illusions please us and always have. Films now are almost nothing but illusions and special effects. I avoid them. I want to see people doing what people do, what people do and say to each other. Not what a bat does when it becomes a crime stopper. I watched a documentary on Cecil B. DeMille’s “The Ten Commandments,” which I have never seen. The making of the film (1923) was remarkable. The set construction was remarkable. It included Marshall continues on Page 9

is a limited style of a lack of experimenting with new dishes and varying ingredients. What if we took the time to learn more, watch other chefs prepare and cook, and what if we were open to failing when we try? It is in times of failure when we grow the most and can turn our weaknesses into strengths. So whether it is in sales or selling, the gym, cooking, or other hobby or vocation, we can all recognize that we have strengths in certain areas and that we need to be cautious so that our powerful assets do not take away from what we are trying to accomplish and therefore become a weakness. And conversely, recognize that the areas where we are deficient can become a strength as long as we find the right coach and mentor, or apply the time to improve in some way, turning that weakness into another strength and asset in our armor as we pursue our goals and dreams. How about you? Do you have some overdeveloped strengths that are keeping you from achieving your overall goals? Do you have a weakness that you are looking forward to developing into a strength? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can capitalize on our personal assets and develop other areas into strengths, it really will be a better than good week.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Time for new direction

In the “Union numbers declining” article that ran Aug. 7, once again Douglas County School Board vice president Doug Benevento shows his caustic side — as he always does. How many more teachers need to leave before Doug understands that they don’t like him, his fellow board members or the administration, and that their choice to leave has nothing to do with unions? When a large auditorium is filled to the brim with new teachers for training, you have effectively thrown away the legacy and knowledge that experienced teachers can provide. At the same time we parents that know better will welcome and support all teachers, but who is going to provide that know-how that they need? When you have almost 50 percent of your administrators leave, you have lost not only the trust of the community, but to tie in another article from Aug. 7 (Ballot won’t feature schools), any possibility that we would provide you with more money to squander. If a CEO lost 50 percent of their top people in one year as the Douglas County School District has, that CEO would be fired for sure. I only hope this is also the case for this BOE and Administration. 2015 cannot come any faster. #firefagen James Martin Highlands Ranch

Fewer pensions remain for future retirees Dependable income for retirees is in jeopardy as more companies do away with defined benefit plans. This is a product of many changes in the current workforce, company mergers, and unknown liabilities for employers. In this ever-changing landscape of income in retirement, a short history lesson may help to put this into perspective. The Social Security Act was signed into law by FDR on Aug. 14, 1935. At that time, private company pension plans were gaining popularity. A pension plan fully funded by the employer and designed to pay out a specific fixed benefit for life is considered a defined benefit plan. American Express created the first such plan in 1869. By 1940, about 15 percent of the private working population was covered by a pension plan. Ironically, today, according to a May 6 article in the Wall Street Journal, about the same amount, roughly 17 percent are covered. It appears we have almost gone full cycle. The first defined contribution plan was made possible by the 1974 IRS Section Code 401(k) and first enacted in 1981 by Johnson

Companies. Since then, more companies have been moving away from the traditional employer-funded defined benefit plans to the employee-funded defined contribution plans. In Colorado, we have seen major corporations gradually evolve away from the fixed pension-income plans. Usually, as the first step, the company stops offering these plans to new hires. Next, workers who left the company but have not yet collected are often offered a settlement, or a lump sum buy-out. This helps get the liability off the books of the corporation for previous workers. Next, for the existing workers, the pensions are often frozen, meaning no new contributions. This can be phased out in

a variety of ways based on the average age of the workforce and the standard for that industry. There was an announcement in July of a pension change for our neighbors at Lockheed Martin. This will affect a significant local population of current employees who live in the area. The phase-out, according to a July 1 Wall Street Journal article, will consider a worker’s highest annual salary in the formula only up to 2016 and their years of service only up to 2020. Some previous workers who are not yet retired have already been offered a lumpsum option. This is where the company’s actuaries calculate how much money you would need today to pay yourself a fixed income over your lifetime if you invested the proceeds. This is based on formulas including life expectancy and an interest rate factor to derive the settlement offer. The evolution of retirement income is becoming more and more dependent on personal savings. At one time we were taught the three-legged stool — Social Security, employer pensions and personal savings — would support our future income.

Now we are down to a two-legged stool, which is certainly less stable. And each remaining leg is getting wobbly as well. The future of Social Security is not guaranteed, and personal savings are not enough to make up for the loss of pensions. Therefore, planning for the future is more crucial than ever. Whether you ever had a pension or 401(k), had questions about how much to save and where to invest, or have concerns about Social Security, now is the time to get started planning how you can have more control over your future.

Low election turnout could have been prevented This past May, the Highlands Ranch Metro District held an election for five directorships. After consecutive director elections in 2010 and 2012 in which voter turnout was in excess of 4,000, this past May’s election saw fewer than 1,500 ballots cast. Let’s put this number in perspective. When compared to turnouts in the 2010 and 2012 Metro District elections, ballots cast in the recent election were reduced by approximately 2,700 votes, or 65 percent, from the prior elections. When you compare the 1,500 ballots cast to the 54,000-plus Highlands Ranch registered voters, the turnout represents only 2.8 percent of the total registered voters in Highlands Ranch. To say the least, this is an atrocious turnout, and it could have been avoided. Who is to be held responsible for this election debacle? The first link in the chain starts with the Democratic Party-controlled state Legislature and a Democratic governor. Various election reform bills passed in 2013 and 2014 and had a direct impact on the HRMD election. The next culprit in the chain is the SDA, the lobbying group for Colorado Special/ Metro districts. They lobbied for the 2014 law (HB-1164) and with the consent of their

four 35-foot-tall Pharaoh statues. After filming, DeMille had the set blown up and buried in the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes in northern Santa Barbara County. He didn’t want any other film crews to use it. Like an archaeological dig, fragments of the set were unearthed in the 1980s. If you haven’t seen the film, maybe you know about one of the scenes: the parting of the Red Sea. It was done with Jell-O. A “slab of Jell-O” was sliced and jiggled and filmed close up. That was “combined with live-action footage of Israelites walking in the distance, creating a near-perfect illusion.”

members, including the HRMD, sought to design a law that would have the effect of suppressing voter turnout. The HRMD took no concerted action to object to the new law. The key provision of the 2014 law required registered Highlands Ranch voters who prefer to vote by mail in a designated polling place election to re-register their preference to vote by mail with the HRMD, despite having already recorded their mail ballot preference with the Douglas County Clerk and Recorder’s office. We now come to the final culprit in the chain, the HRMD, specifically the general manager and the seven board members that were sitting prior to the election. The 2014 law gave local governments a choice in what type of election could be held, an all-mail ballot election, or a polling place

the designated election official, who just so happened to be the general manager of the HRMD, Terry Nolan. This represents an inherit conflict of interest. By foregoing an all-mail ballot election, in which ballots would have been sent to all active voters in the district, the board, with its recommendation of the general manager to be the designated election official, decided to choose dollars over maximum voter participation. By choosing the polling place election with the need to reaffirm your mail ballot preference they wanted to hold an election on the cheap and there is no excuse for this action. Money should not be a consideration when it comes to the right to vote. This election debacle could have been avoided had our elected officials acted responsibly. Don’t let the “bloc” voters determine your local government. Philip R. Cullen is a former HRMD board member and was a candidate in the May 2014 election.

The expression “trompe l’oeil” means “fool the eye.” That’s what Sprick does. I can come close. I have tried, but it’s not what I do. I don’t have that particular discipline. The painting on the cover of Sprick’s book stopped my heart. It looks like we both worked on it together. I did the hair. A column like this comes without special effects. By the time I send it to my editor, it’s polished and the hesitations are all gone — but I do try to make some unexpected references. And I try to move around. From Sprick to Jell-O in this one. The idea for the column was not Sprick. It was DeMille. I cannot explain how one met the other but I like it. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

election with absentee mail ballots. Given the HRMD’s choice for the latter, another way to look at the election results is that 2,700 previous active Highlands Ranch voters objected to the requirement to reaffirm their voter preference for a mail ballot while 1,000-plus “bloc” voters cast mail ballots for the incumbents who benefited from a poor turnout. The other interesting fact from the election results were that out of the almost 1,500 ballots cast, 1,300 ballots were returned by mail and only 214 people who had been mailed ballots but chose instead to drop of their ballots in person at the three designated polling places. It is my contention that an all-mail ballot election would have achieved a much higher voter turnout and would have been more representative of the community as a whole and the election results would have been more competitive. The new law also pulled the responsibility of monitoring local elections from the office of secretary of state and the county clerk’s office. The only monitoring was left to

A gift to the community Park opens to honor life of slain Arapahoe High student Claire Davis By Deborah Grigsby Smith

Special to Colorado Community Media Less than five month ago, Clarity Commons was just an idea, but on Aug. 16, what would have been Claire Davis’ 18th birthday, more than 1,000 of her friends and family gathered on the campus of Arapahoe High School to honor her life with a gift. The serene park-like space is designed to reach out to those who may be hurting inside, much like Davis reached out to classmate Karl Pierson, the student gunman who shot her Dec. 13, 2013. The spacious park, located on the campus of Arapahoe High School where Davis was a senior, features beautiful mature trees, berms that reduce noise, a paved walkway, benches, and a large granite pillar engraved with her image and inspirational thoughts. Arapahoe High School Principal Natalie Pramenko said the location will become a special place where students and staff can “reflect, slow down and appreciate beauty.” “Claire was not the only one we lost that day,” said Desiree Davis, Claire’s mother who spoke briefly during the dedication. “We lost Karl, too. If we are to stop violent crime in our schools, we must continually place our attention on our kids. We all need to be aware of others crying out for help.” Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper also

spoke. “Claire loved a good bench,” he said. Clarity Commons has 10 benches, five pairs, facing each other, he noted. “Anyone can sit on these benches and enjoy a moment.” Chris Davis, who graduated from Arapahoe in May, was one of several volunteers who helped raise more than $110,000 for the project and said support from the community has been overwhelming. The total from in-kind donations exceeded $300,000. “We have about 300 pavers in the Clarity Commons walkway now, but that’s just the first wave,” said Davis, who is not related to Claire. “We have, probably 800 more that will eventually go in at a later date.” Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon and her staff were lauded for expediting city paperwork and waiving all fees for the project. “It was the least the City of Centennial could do,” said an emotional Noon. “This is truly something that clearly demonstrates how something so wonderful can come out of something so sad.” Located in the four corners of the walkway are four special tones with impressions from Granite, Claire’s beloved horse. Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Steven Forbert belted out a heartfelt piece for the occasion, appropriately, “…I blinked once and she was gone…” Hickenlooper pointed out that although “today would have been Claire’s 18th birthday, it is she — along with Michael and Desiree and their son Alexander — who are giving us a gift.” For more information about the project, or to create a personalized message, please visit www.claritycommons.org.

The debate locally is whether the turnover is necessary, and what the numbers really mean. DCSD spokeswoman Paula Hans points out its current teacher turnover rate is about the same as the state’s. But teachers’ union president Courtney Smith said that isn’t a pace the district has seen in the past or one it should aspire to. “Douglas County used to be the destination district of the state, and that’s not the case anymore,” she said. “It’s unproven, unresearched reform they’re implementing from the top down that’s chasing teachers out of this district.” Slowing the pace of change and collaborating on it with teachers likely would also slow the pace of turnover, Smith said. Hans said attrition in the wake of great change is not unexpected. “We are creating a model for the future of American public education,” Hans wrote in an emailed statement. “As part of this process, we are raising expectations and turnover is to be expected.” National reform advocates, who are keeping a close eye on Douglas County, believe its reforms are a draw for many employees. “You’re attracting new people to Douglas County who want to be in the classroom and work under those conditions,” said Kara Kerwin, president of the Washington, D.C.based Center for Education Reform. “People are excited about the prospect of being able to receive raises and bonuses based on their effectiveness. So while there may be turnover, you have to think about the people who want to get into the system because they like the reforms. “That’s one of the goals of teacher reform — you really want people who want to be there. I think this is an example of that working.” DCSD leaders said it’s important to look past the numbers. Their focus is on retaining, as well as attracting, the best teachers, an effort they say is working. Under its new rating system, implemented in 2012, DCSD said 91 percent of the district’s teachers garnered good ratings — and most of them are reporting back for the 201415 school year. “We are pleased that we have retained an outstanding 93 percent of `highly effective’ and `effective’ DCSD teachers,” reads an emailed statement attributed to school board president Kevin Larsen.

SUMMERTIME… 8 lines in 18 papers

Since the original, reform-dedicated school board was first elected in 2009 and Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen was hired in 2010, teacher turnover has crept steadily up. It rose from just over 10 percent in 2009-10 to 17.3 percent in 2013-14, an increase in the rate at which teachers are leaving of 70 percent. During those same years, the state’s teacher turnover also increased, but at a much slower rate, rising 27.2 percent.

is to connect mind, body and spirit, and provide truly integrated care, said Glassey. Complementary medicine “addresses the total health of the person,” she said. “It complements the quality of care they are already receiving.” Eva Levy, a licensed acupuncturist with Kaiser, is glad to see more people using complementary medicine in conjunction with their primary care. Society relies on Western medicine, she said, but there are a lot of different avenues that a person can take to obtain health. “Western medicine takes care of the big picture, (but) sometimes there are other factors that complementary medicine can help,” Levy said. “Acupuncture is a deep medicine that can treat at a deep level.” Levy has treated seniors, teens, drug addicts and chemotherapy patients. Acupuncture can help those suffering with depression and anxiety, she said, but it is most known for pain management — including emotional pain. “A positive attitude helps prognosis,” she said. Acupuncture increases circulation to different points in the body to promote healing, and also increases dopamine, so

Teachers speak

Not everyone agrees that reforms are working, however. Current and former DCSD teachers see problems with the district’s efforts. “In theory, pay for performance is a great idea, but (teachers) aren’t in sales,” Chaparral High School teacher Steve Block said. “The reality is, teaching is an art. It’s hard to quantify who’s good and who’s bad. How do you measure the love of geography I’ve instilled in a student?” Block said new demands aren’t the issue. Rather, most teachers he knows believe DCSD’s primary focus is politics. “Teachers are great with dealing with change,” he said. “What I’m not great with is dealing with bad change — reform for the sake of reform. “The current direction of the district is forcing great teachers out. There are great teachers leaving the district. Parents need to know that.” Former longtime Chaparral High School teacher Ed Anderson left his 14-year post in frustration for a teaching job in Adams 12 after the 2012-13 school year. “I loved teaching in Douglas County, and if things were the way they were when I first got there — and were really for the first 10 years — I would have retired in Douglas County,” he said. “But I was disappointed in our school district. The reality is, if your employees are happy, they produce a better product. The way it is now, it’s just not a good work environment.” Like Block, he pointed to pay-for-performance as an area of concern, as well as market-based pay and a lack of input from teachers in changes affecting their jobs. Caughey sees significant challenges in the current educational environment, but predicts better days are coming. “Asking education leaders to perform without providing the necessary tools and resources they need to do the job creates a lessthan-desirable work environment,” he said. “I think we’ll get to a new normal where things will stabilize and it’ll feel more like the new expectations are a little bit more embedded in the daily work. But right now, it’s a matter of very rapid change.” Kerwin also has heard repeated concerns said the pace of the reforms’ implementation. “A lot of people have said, we should reserve a grace period,” she said. “That’s an echo we are hearing across the country.” But, she said, the need for change in the United States is clear. “We are lagging behind. We need to raise the bar, and we know when we raise the bar on our students, they will meet it,” she said. “We just need the right kinds of people in our schools to do it.” DCSD, meanwhile, said it continues to provide not only a quality education for students, but is doing so with top-notch educators. “The most important thing is doing what is best for DCSD students — having quality teachers in every classroom,” Hans wrote in an emailed response. “Not only are we finding the best teachers and administrators, but we are keeping them right where they should be — in front of our students, who deserve to learn from the best.”

a person is guaranteed to leave relaxed, Levy said. There is no prescription drug interaction with acupuncture, and it is a natural medicine, so there are no side effects, she said. “The worst that can happen is that nothing happens,” Levy said. Massage therapy also works as a complementary medicine practice because it creates healthier muscle tissue by increasing circulation, said Robin Lewis, a certified and registered massage therapist, who owns her own massage studio and teaches at the Massage Therapy Institute of Colorado. Complementary medicine supports the body doing its job, Lewis said. “It helps the body function the way it’s supposed to,” Lewis said. “The body needs its tissues worked, just like a car needs regular maintenance.” Barron said he used to have a tendency to think that chiropractors recommended return visits because they just wanted his money. Then, one of his friends became a chiropractor and provided Barron with care free of charge. The friend told him to come twice a month. Now that he has been on a regular schedule with a chiropractor for about 10 years, Barron has no need for pain medication, and he hasn’t had his back go out or suffered a spasm for about seven years, he said. “A chiropractor helps keep it straightened out,” Barron said.

Master chefs reunite at Boettcher Mansion First national gathering occurs in Denver, features two area food artists By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey @coloradocommunitymedia.com An evening filled with delicacies prepared by some of the best local chefs raised money for the preservation of the Boettcher Mansion — and everyone left with a good taste in their mouth. The menu was prepared in advance by certified master chefs from all over the country. And while they mingled and caught up with one another at the first master chef reunion of its kind, local industry leaders churned out their dishes, allowing everyone to taste what their fellow top chefs had been up to. “It’s fantastic,” said Ed Janos, of Highlands Ranch. “The curry is delicious. All the food is excellent.” Janos, one of just 68 master chefs in the country and three from Colorado, spent much of the evening chatting with an old friend from Michigan, chef Daniel Rowlson, who teaches the culinary arts in Oakland County, Mich. Rowlson even helped to teach Janos’ wife, Kristin, when she was starting out. Janos moved with his wife to Highlands Ranch 17 years ago from the Detroit area, and among his many accomplishments since his arrival, led a group of Colorado chefs to a second-place finish at a world culinary competition in South Korea. He and his wife run Cook’s Fresh Market in Denver.

Colorado Chefs Association President David Davis, left of Boulder, enjoys a moment with two of the certified master chefs in attendance Aug. 16 at the Boettcher Mansion in Denver. Bill Franklin, center of Centennial, and Ed Janos, right of Highlands Ranch, are two of 68 certified master chefs in the country. Photo by Ryan Boldrey He had been to the governor’s residence just a few months prior, but for a different reason. That time Janos was busy preparing a meal for Gov. John Hickenlooper and his guests at the Boettcher Mansion’s Carriage House. This time, though, it was an opportunity to mingle with some of the most creative chefs on the planet. “I don’t know where you could do it where it would be done better,” said David Davis, president of the American Culinary Federation’s Colorado Chefs Association. “It’s pretty

exciting that this is the first time an event like this has happened. It’s absolutely amazing to be part of.” Davis, who works at Boulder favorites The Sink and West Flanders Brewing Co., may not be a master chef himself, but then again, few are. He pointed out that one of the main reasons for the event, in addition to getting everyone together, was to help with the preservation of the Boettcher Mansion, something the Colorado Chefs Association is heavily involved in.

Romanoff-Coffman Debate The first debate between former speaker of the house Andrew Romanoff and U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman was held in a packed room last Wednesday, August 14 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Highlands Ranch. The event was attended by hundreds of supporters, businesspeople, and community leaders. The lively discussion was moderated by Aaron Harber, host of “The Aaron Harber Show TM” and “The Aaron Harber Show: Colorado Now TM.” Harber himself played a large role in the debate, pressing the candidates to answer questions directly, rather than skirt inflammatory issues. These issues often drew vocal shouts of approval or condemnation from the candidates’ supporters. Introductions were provided by Robert Golden, president/CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber, and Jeff Wasden, president of the Colorado Business Roundtable.

The debate focused heavily on the Keystone XL Pipeline, immigration reform, national security, Fix the Debt, and the government’s role in business. The moderator also focused briefly on climate change, Obamacare, budget cuts, and women’s reproductive rights. Former state representative Robert Bowen said “It was a tremendous opportunity to hear both candidates answer questions and state their views.” The debate was the result of collaboration between the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, Denver South Economic Development Partnership, Northwest Douglas County Economic Development Corporation, Chamber of Commerce of Highland Ranch, and the Colorado Business Roundtable.

Lone Tree gets upscale eatery Seasons 52 emphasizes seasonal fare, wine By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com In a city with more than 100 dining options, Seasons 52 aims to go straight to the top. “We just want to be the best restaurant in Lone Tree,” operations director Michael Jong said. “We want our service to set us apart. It’s a privilege to take care of someone’s request for food; there’s nothing else we hold more important than that.” The upscale Park Meadows restaurant, built new on the lot formerly occupied by Champp’s restaurant at 8325 Park Meadows Center Drive, opens Aug. 21. It’s the 40-restaurant chain’s first Colorado location, and its south metro site was a carefully analyzed, logical decision. “Lone Tree provides a really fantastic retail, residential and commercial demographic for us,” Jong said. Specializing in fresh grilled food and wine, Seasons 52 features a core menu that changes seasonally and several items that change weekly. No menu item exceeds 475 calories. Most of the selections, with entrees including cedar-plank salmon, duck banh mi, rack of lamb and flat-iron steak, are at least partially cooked on the restaurant’s large oak-fired grill. It’s also big on atmosphere, which starts at the front door with a wall-sized candlelit water feature. It’s the first of what Jong describes as subconscious elements designed to soothe and relax the restaurant’s visitors. In a con-

Photo by Jane Reuter tinuation of that effort, lighting provided mainly by sconces and pendants is indirect and warm, lending a honey-colored glow to the wood bar. Since the restaurant’s founding in Orlando, Fla., in 2003, its managers have worked to perfect the art of illumination. “Over the last 11 years, we’ve put a lot of thought into lighting,” Jong said. The main dining area includes skylights to nurture two real trees and provide sunlight. Color accents the earth-toned finishes in the artwork, chairs, booth cushions and other decorative accents. Equal thought went into the restaurant’s

bar selections, which include Colorado craft beers and spirits. “When you think Colorado, you think craft beer,” Jong said. “We thought, `Let’s find out about Colorado craft spirits.’ We got a list as long as my arm.” The 100 wines were handpicked by the chain’s master sommelier, George Miliotes, who is among about 220 master sommeliers worldwide. Two certified sommeliers are part of the regular Lone Tree staff. Servers are trained to suggest wines that complement entrees. “We have knowledgeable, approachable servers that inspire confidence,” Jong said.

In addition to its bar and main dining room, the restaurant offers two private dining rooms that seat 40 guests each, as well as a chef’s table with seating for 12. The three areas are available for reservations. Its chateau room provides wine storage but also will be used for small gatherings, tastings and classes. Seasons 52 gets high praise from reviewers, with its food scored 27 out of 30 points from Zagat. The average meal cost is about $40, according to Zagat. The Seasons 52 chain is part of Darden Restaurants, which includes Capital Grille, Olive Garden and Yard House.

Holiday means Taste is back Downtown festival loaded with food, performances By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com For thousands of metro-area folks, Labor Day weekend, Aug. 29-Sept. 1, means Taste of Colorado festival time: free admission; five stages of entertainment; more than 50 food booths, ranging from hot dogs to “fine dining”; artists; and a section called “Festival of the Mountain and Plain,” which is where it all started in 1895. First organized by Denver businessmen, including William Byers of the Rocky Mountain News, it featured a parade with 25 bands, a masquerade ball that attracted 5,000 and exhibits of American Indian dances and culture, according to an online history. It lasted until 1912 and then fizzled out until about 30 years ago, when Denver business owners started it up again for the same reasons: to bring people downtown. The Denver Civic Center will be filled with activity (there will be some street closures) and bands will be playing rock, country, Motown and more all day long. Openers on Friday will be Rebel Tongue at 11:45 a.m. with hip-hop, jazz and soul, followed by Denver’s Two Girls With Guitars at 2:15 and the Mary Louise Lee Band with music from the 1960s and today at 5:30 p.m. (Lee is married to Denver Mayor Michael Hancock.) In the food area, culinary demonstrations by well-known chefs are scheduled and there will be more than 50 marketplace booths, including Fine Art in the Park and a Home and Lifestyles area with products for home remodeling, as well as salons and spas. The state’s pioneer past, nature, the environment and Native American arts such as Navajo weaving and culture will be demonstrated in the Festival of Mountain and Plain area, plus early crafts such as spinning, rug braiding and lace crocheting. A blacksmith demonstration is always popular. Nearby is a KidzStage with music, clowns, puppets, play equipment and hands-on crafts for kids. Among the bands scheduled are Motown legends The Commodores, Denver’s DeLeon Brothers Band, En Vogue, the Wallflowers and the Christian pop/ rock duo King and Country. On Labor Day, alternative rock band Rumours Follow will open at 10:45 a.m. and longtime local group Chris Daniels and the Kings will close out the festival, starting at 6 p.m. with a mix of R&B, funk, “jump blues” and rock.

If you thought keeping up with the Joneses was an unobtainable goal, try keeping up with the Smiths. Kaily Smith, daughter of former Denver dwellers Iris and Michael Smith, two of the nicest rich people you’d ever want to meet, married Adam Westbrook Aug. 2 with reception entertainment by superstar singer John Mayer. But wait, there’s more. For the wedding rehearsal the night before at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point, Calif., guests were moved and grooved by Usher and Stevie Wonder. The father of the bride, who made his millions in the natural gas industry, spent $5 million on the parties, according to www.tmz.com, which also captured photos. The pre-wedding party was staged in a carnival theme including a Ferris wheel flanked by walls covered in white roses. Kaily, who grew up in Denver, and Adam have homes in Los Angeles and New York, but reportedly call New York home. She’s an actress who made her Broadway debut in the romantic comedy “The Performers.” Check out the pictures at www.tmz.com.

Boulder, FoCo get nod

The Mary Louise Lee Band will perform on opening day at the 2014 Taste of Colorado Festival.

Boulder took the top spot and Fort Collins weighed in at No. 14 in Best College Reviews’ list of the 50 Best College Towns. The website used the criteria of livability, student-to-resident ratio, cultural offerings, school presence and large employers when ranking the country’s top college towns. Here’s what the site said about Boulder’s No. 1 position: “Boulder is known as a hip and healthy town with a hippy past and great views of the Flatirons. Boulder is one of the nation’s most celebrated towns — in rankings it regularly gets voted the best outdoor town, the brainiest city, one of the top cities for artists and America’s Foodiest Town.” As to Fort Collins, Best College Reviews said, “Fort Collins is home to Colorado State University and on `Money’ magazine’s Best Place to Live in the US list since 2006. A great homegrown music and microbrewery scene complement the town’s collegiate vibes, with one of its most attended events hosted by New Belgium Brewery; `Tour de Fat’ as the event is called, draws over 20,000 people riding bikes and dressing in costume.” See the entire list at www.bestcollegereviews. org/50-best-college-towns-america.

Open and shut

Gallo di Nero, an Italian eatery at 1135 Bannock St. in the Golden Triangle, has closed its doors not long after a press event to celebrate the grand opening. Restaurant owner Josh Barhaug issued a statement that said, “The reasons for the quick closing are as follows: there is a potential buyer for the property; Chef (Darren) Pusateri has accepted an offer at another local eatery and he would like to spend more time with his family. “Gallo Di Nero’s management team (consisting of Barhaug; Pusateri, and Noel Martin, general manager) would like to thank you for attending last month’s private media event. The team would also like to thank their Denver patrons and restaurant regulars for their business and support.”

Overheard The Commodores will sing blues and Motown music at the Taste of Colorado.

IF YOU GO The Taste of Colorado/Festival of Mountain and Plain fills Denver’s Civic Center between 14th Avenue, Colfax Avenue, Broadway and Bannock Street from Aug. 29 to Sept. 2. Festival hours: 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Aug. 29; 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Aug. 30 and 31; and 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sept. 1. Admission is free. Food tickets are sold in various quantities. Parking is in surrounding lots or on the street — or from the south area, one might want to consider riding into town on light rail. The free mall bus takes one to the Civic Center Station across the street. Visit ATasteofColorado.com for schedules and information.

Store welomes author of Sigma Force Series Readers have chance to meet Rollins in Ranch

IF YOU GO James Rollins will appear at 7 p.m. Aug. 22 at Tattered Cover Highlands Ranch, 9315 Dorchester St., Highlands Ranch Town Center, to read from and sign his latest Sigma Force Series title, “The Sixth Extinction.” For more information, contact 303-470-7050.

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com James Rollins will spin stories for his readers at 7 p.m. Aug. 22 at Tattered Cover Book Store in Highlands Ranch. The retired veterinarian, with a background in evolutionary biology, writes thrillers that combine history, science and science fiction, with some military overtones. His fast-paced tales are grounded in reality, including recently discovered realities, carrying the reader from place to place in a short span of time as crises loom, ethical decisions are made and the reader learns about ancient mysteries and cutting-edge science. “The Sixth Extinction” is the 10th in Rol-

lins’ Sigma Force Series, and while characters and their relationships have some continuity, each book is a stand-alone read that will probably keep the reader up late for several nights — kind of like a mini-vacation to places you’ve never contemplated. The book begins on board the HMS Beagle with Charles Darwin and continues Rollins with scientific aspects as well as dramatic human interactions. Rollins’ empathy for animals is a con-

tinual thread, and there is a related Tucker Wayne Sigma Series that especially focuses on highly trained military dogs — in this case, a remarkable creature named Kane. The series developed after the author’s trip to Iraq and Kuwait in 2010, where he became acquainted with military dogs and their handlers. A new title in this series, “The Kill Switch,” co-authored with Navy veteran Grant Blackwood, was published in May 2014 and will no doubt also be available at the Tattered Cover. Rollins ends his books with a rewarding additional feature: “Author’s Note to Readers: Truth or Fiction” which in “The Sixth Extinction” begins with recommended books on synthetic biology and speculations on an apocalyptic future, He offers notes on creation of artificial life and attempts to recreate extinct species, genetics, “bio-hacking,” microbial life, Antarctic life and more. The reader will have indeed been on a trip.

“The 6th Extinction” by James Rollins is in the author’s Sigma Series. He will be in Highlands Ranch Aug. 22 to publicize it. Courtesy photo

RIDING INTO THE SUNSET

Grand Marshal Dr. Charlie Vail celebrates the “Giddy Up!” theme for 2014, the Year of the Horse. Vail is an owner at Littleton Equine Center on Santa Fe Drive. Western Welcome Week 2014, “Giddy Up!,” went off without the proverbial hitch. Though it was quite warm, no dreaded rain fell from the sky on Festival Day, Aug. 16. So with no bad weather to deter them, hundreds of people swarmed Main Street for the Grand Parade, which started at 10 a.m. at Ketring Park, headed west on Littleton Boulevard and ended up by The Melting Pot on Main Street. Dozens of entries included marching bands, floats, horses, first responders, veterans groups, antique tractors, hot rods and more. Afterward, people enjoyed corn on the cob, turkey legs, steak on a stick and icecold beer and lemonade while browsing handmade items in the Arts and Crafts Festival. Cowboy Steve entertained young and old alike, and a variety of dance groups delighted audiences on the WWW Dance Stage.

O’Toole’s Garden Center’s float is always a big hit. O’Toole’s, at Federal Boulevard and Belleview Avenue, has donated to many efforts in the community over the years, including the Crabapple Route that runs through the city.

BBQ fun returns to downtown Parker Smokin’ Brew BBQ will fire up the pits from Aug. 29-31

SMOKIN’ BREW BBQ HOURS OF OPERATION

By Chris Michlewicz

Friday, Aug. 29: 4-10 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 30: 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 31: 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com A bittersweet summer send-off will infuse Parker with the intoxicating scent of barbecue. The people of Douglas County aren’t the only ones waiting with simmering anticipation for the Smokin’ Brew BBQ in downtown Parker Aug. 29-31. Certified judges are prepping their finely-tuned taste buds for the arrival of the nation’s best barbecue specialists. More than 50 competitors will battle it out for trophies and, more importantly, bragging rights during the Kansas City Barbecue Society-sanctioned event, which is now in its sixth year. With painstaking care, weekend warriors and circuit regulars will fire up delicacies from the four main competitive categories: ribs, chicken, pork and brisket. Parker resident Jim Chincholl is one of the fortunate few who will get an inside look and an inside taste of the action. As an official KCBS master judge, he has hot-off-the-grill meats delivered directly to his table. Even though he’s not judging at Smokin’ Brew this year and will instead oversee the judges, he acknowledges that his normal duties somehow never get old. “I really enjoy judging and do a steady 30 events per year,” Chincholl said. Which begs the obvious question: how does one become qualified to devour and rate barbecue in a semi-professional capacity? As Chincholl knows, it’s not easy, but it is enjoyable. He took a four-hour class, judged 30 sanctioned competitions in multiple states, was embedded with a barbecue team, then took a rigorous exam to make sure he knew his stuff. When asked what it takes to become a respected wielder of tongs and spatulas, Chincholl said it’s important not to be a one-trick pony. “You’ve got to learn them all and be equally good on all of them,” he said of the different types of meats. “Otherwise you’re not going to be in the top echelon of cooks.”

Entries are judged based on appearance, taste and tenderness. A rating of “one” means disqualification for mistakes, like leaving a piece of foil in the meat, using the wrong garnish or submitting the entry outside of the required 10-minute window. The scale only goes to nine because “there is no such thing as perfect barbecue,” Chincholl said. Not all of the competitors will be selling their creations at Smokin’ Brew; eight barbecue vendors will set up along with a half-dozen booths that sell sides and desserts. Visitors must buy tickets to spend at the booths, and prices range from 3 to 12 tickets, said John Diak, entertainment coordinator for the Cherry Creek Valley Rotary Club, which organizes the competition and public festival. Smokin’ Brew is the largest annual fundraising event for the Rotary club. It spends the funds on community events like Trick-or-Treat on Mainstreet, and helps nonprofits like the Parker Task Force and Project Sanctuary, said Diak, who is also a Parker Town Council member. Other highlights of the three-day festival include: the Kids Q Championship, a Saturday night event that enables children to join the barbecuing action; Cow Pie Bingo, in which participants buy tickets in the hopes that a cow will “do its business” on their selected number and win half of the proceeds from ticket sales; last year’s grand champion, TrueBud BBQ, is returning to defend its title; live music on Saturday and Sunday; and an awards ceremony at 5 p.m. Aug. 31. For more information and an event schedule: go to www.smokinbrewbbq. com.

`Godfather of BBQ’ coming to Parker Special to Colorado Community Media After a quarter-century on the competitive barbecue circuit, you’d think that Johnny Trigg would get a little tired of barbecuing ribs, chicken, pork and brisket for a group of judges. But the retired insurance executive, now a celebrity chef who is known as the “godfather of BBQ,” wouldn’t have it any other way. “I love it,” Trigg said. “It’s very challenging, very competitive. I love to cook. I love the camaraderie.” Known as the Smokin’ Triggers, he and his wife, Trish, have turned the love of barbecue into quite a life, traveling “coast to coast” for competitions, and to Kuwait to cook for the troops. “We’ve had a wonderful career. It’s been exciting and rewarding,” Trigg said. “It’s been a very rewarding life, or afterlife.” And now he is coming to downtown Parker over Labor Day weekend as one of the approximately 50 competitors vying for bragging rights and $8,500 in prize money at the Sixth Annual Smokin’ Brew BBQ. While Trigg is looking forward to competing in Parker, it won’t be the highlight of his barbecue career. His biggest accomplishment, he said, was winning the Jack Daniels’ World Championship BBQ Invitation in 2000 and 2003 — making him the only competitor to win the honor twice, which he compared to winning the Super Bowl.

“Somebody’s going to catch me, but they haven’t yet,” he said. In addition to the Jack Daniels’ victories, the 75-year-old Texan has appeared on the TLC reality TV show, BBQ Pitmasters, four times, and was inducted into the National Barbecue Hall of Fame in 2012. When asked about his approach to the Parker competition, Trigg said he’s “just got to be focused. There’s going to be a lot of good teams.” Jim Chincholl, a master judge and member of the CCV Rotary Club of Parker that hosts the annual event, was instrumental in bringing Trigg to the Smokin’ Brew, one of about 1,000 competitions held annually across the United States. “Having the actual godfather of barbecue come to our event, to see him and meet him in person is pretty cool for BBQ fans,” Chincholl said. The event also will feature five or six of past Rocky Mountain BBQ Association’s Team of the Year Champions, as well as the Kansas City Barbeque Society’s Team of the Year for 2013. Even though Trigg is in his 26th year of competing and describes himself as the “oldest cooker out there,” he said he has no intention of slowing down. The Smokin’ Brew will be just one of about 40 to 45 competitions he will participate in this year. -Contributed by Susan Cormier, publicist for Smokin’ Brew BBQ

Barbecueing, Colorado style By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com The main star of the show is the brick pit smoker, said Dana Rosenberg, owner of a new family-owned barbecue restaurant, Burt’s Smokehouse BBQ, opening in Centennial. The restaurant, at 7470 S. University Blvd., will hold its grand opening celebration from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Aug. 22-24. The barbecue pit is a brick-walled, wood-burning unit that does not use any electricity, Rosenberg said. It was designed and built especially for Burt’s Smokehouse BBQ. “We use oak and hickory, and it kind of burns around the clock,” Rosenberg said. “There’s some real magic in there.” Rosenberg said the pit is not hidden

from the public’s view, so attendees of the grand opening will get to see it in action. Other entertainment for the celebration includes live music on Aug. 23. From 12:30 to 3:30 p.m., country singer and former American Idol contestant Matt Buckstein will perform; and from 5 to 8 p.m., local band Potcheen will play. Throughout the weekend, the restaurant will be giving away a bottle of Burt’s BBQ Sauce with any order over $20, limited to one per family. The sauce is unique to the restaurant, and will not be sold retail, but people may purchase it in-house, Rosenberg said. Additionally, Rosenberg said complimentary food samples, including smoked meats and side dishes, and free T-shirts will be given away all weekend. “We are a Colorado-style barbecue,”

Rosenberg said, and added that their signature dish is their trademarked Burtsribs. She said different regions have different styles of barbecue, such as one would find in Texas, St. Louis or Memphis. Rosenberg said their restaurant’s taste has been developed through their family’s generations, which will continue through their future generations, to define a true Colorado-style barbecue. This is the first Burt’s Smokehouse BBQ location, and three generations will be managing the restaurant, Rosenberg said. Her family has lived in the Centennial area for 20 years. “These techniques and recipes have been in our family for generations,” Rosenberg said. “And we want to share them with Colorado.”

Variety marks arts center’s season Venue aims to please patrons while drawing new attendees By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com On Aug. 4, the first day of ticket sales for the Lone Tree Art Center’s 2014-15 season, it sold two times more tickets than on any previous day. In that first week, ticket purchases totaled $78,000. “That was 50 percent more than we did the entire first month the previous year,” marketing director Katie Maltais said. It was a pleasant surprise, but given the planning that went into the new season, not a complete shock. As the LTAC, located at 10075 Commons St. in Lone Tree, enters its fourth season, its staff has learned a thing or two about drawing an audience. “The season is the result of probably four solid months of very, very careful and specific planning,” executive director Lisa Rigsby Peterson said. “I think each season keeps getting better and better.” The selections are based on favorites from

the past, and many go a few steps further. “This year was really carefully crafted around what our patrons are looking for,” said Maltais. “Some of it pushes them outside of that comfort zone of what they have come to expect. We put a lot of thought around what we are we doing to serve our current audience, how can we take them a little further, and what’s going to bring in new audiences.” For example, Maltais said the center has built a jazz following with the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra. “This year we said, `Let’s go one step further,’ and Igor Butman and the Moscow Jazz Orchestra is coming,” she said. Russia’s Butman and his ensemble are described as “one of the best hard-core jazz units around.” The emphasis also is on variety. Representing an entirely separate musical genre, international opera singer Nathan Gunn also is on the calendar. Musicals, magic shows, ballets, Broadway tunes, a cappella acts, ‘80s music and Motown represent a sample of the season’s varied menu offerings. December’s offerings include six different holiday shows. “We’re talking about it like it’s a December

festival,” Maltais said. “They’re so diverse.” The productions include “Cowboy Christmas,” “The Nutcracker,” a big band and holiday brass concert and the now-traditional “Home for the Holidays” variety show. “Home for the Holidays” is among three of the 2014-15 shows created by the LTAC staff. “We are going to continue to create our own work, which is something we didn’t think we could do when we opened,” Peterson said. “We want to meet the artistic quality standards we’ve got, and share with our audience things we think they want to see.” The LTAC also is producing the musical “Guys and Dolls in Concert” and a humorous whodunit, “The 39 Steps.” If early-season ticket sales weren’t enough to indicate LTAC is on the right path, numbers of season-ticket holders add more proof. The center has more than 400. “The trend all over the country is subscriptions continue to drop; people want to buy single tickets,” Peterson said. “We’re bucking the national trend. Our subscriptions are growing. I think that’s pretty extraordinary, especially for a very young organization like ours.” For more information on the LTAC’s 201415 season, visit lonetreeartscenter.org.

Lone Tree plans Labor Day celebration New three-day event features movies, food trucks, golf, live music By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com For the third year in a row, Lone Tree is throwing a Labor Day Weekend party. This event won’t include fireworks — since the city got to shoot them off on July 4 this year — but it will feature three days’ worth of other events. “Discover Lone Tree” starts at 8 p.m. Aug. 29 with a singalong-style showing of the movie “Frozen” at the Lone Tree Arts Center, and continues through the weekend with a two additional “Frozen” show-

ings, a Bluffs Regional Park hike, police department open house, historic Schweiger Ranch tour, golf and tennis tournaments, and a Sunday evening concert at Sweetwater Park to cap things off. Some of the events are free, and some require tickets or gate fees. In 2012 and 2013, Lone Tree held its weather-delayed fireworks show and concert at Sweetwater Park on Labor Day — an event some residents said they wanted to see continue. Lone Tree Arts Center marketing director Katie Maltais said “Discover Lone Tree” has been in the works for more than a year and that the hope is it becomes an annual affair. “We felt we wanted to do one more event for the city,” she said. “The idea was if

Wacky ride to benefit local students

Marketplace

Fourth annual event includes variety of cycling routes

Advertise: 303-566-4100

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Denver broadcast personality Susie Wargin and her brother Ted have participated for years in the state’s numerous cycling events. “We did so many rides we thought, `Let’s put on a ride. How hard can it be?’ ” Susie Wargin said. “It’s a little more difficult than we thought.” On Sept. 7, the Wargins will produce their fourth annual ride, which benefits Douglas County students. In its first three years, the ride raised more than $24,000. As parents of four Douglas County students, the cause is close to both Wargins’ hearts. “The idea hatched when we were on a training ride,” Wargin said. We thought we should do something to help the school. We kind of found a niche.” This year’s Wacky Bike Ride includes 6-, 45-, 62- and 100-mile routes, each of them leaving from Rocky Heights Middle School. The 6-mile route is designed especially for families, and stays in Highlands Ranch. Riders who choose the longer routes will travel south toward Castle Pines, with the longest route going as far south as Palmer Lake. The Wargin siblings are both Douglas County parents and residents. As serious cyclists, they’re familiar with every mile of the rides mapped out for the annual event. “The routes are basically our favorite training rides,” Wargin said. “If we didn’t have to work the event, we would do the 62- or 100-miler.” Participants will be treated well during the ride. “We have really good goodie bags, fabulous aid stations and a fun post-ride party back at the school,” Wargin said. “We take good care of all of our riders because we are riders ourselves.”

Setters key to heart of team success Area players among state’s best at `quarterbacking’ position By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com If Peyton Manning played volleyball, he would be a setter. Manning obviously plays quarterback for the Denver Broncos but he has all the assets of a good volleyball setter. A setter needs to possess athletic ability, touch, leadership and the intelligence to make a team successful. “Good setters are invaluable,” said Chaparral girls volleyball coach T.R. Ellis. “They are the offense. They are the quarterback, they run the team.” Ponderosa coach Rob Graham takes the extra time to find and develop a setter. “A lot of things make a good setter,” explained Graham. “When we look at setters we list three qualities. We list them in this order. We list head first, feet second and hands third… We want an intelligent player, we want a quick thinking player, and we want somebody that can understand the flow of volleyball.” Ponderosa senior setter Becca Page was an All-Continental League selection and a Class 4A CHSSNow.com All-Stater last season. “I definitely feel like a quarterback out there,” admitted Page. “To be a setter you kind of have to take the role of being a quarterback. You are the leader on the court, you dictate all the plays and you make sure the other players are doing their roles too. “Before serve or receive I have 12 differ-

ent plays. Every player on the court knows their plays and I’ll just say play six. They run that play but in transition the hitters run their own.” Page doesn’t shout “Omaha” like Manning but finding a good volleyball quarterback can be difficult. “The great ones are very hard to find,” said Graham. “We list that order because we believe we can train the hands. Players get the game or they don’t, they have fast feet or they don’t. We always say to be a great setter you have to have all three but you can still be a very, very good setter if you have two of three.” Often most of the attention focused on a volleyball team starts with the hitters and defensive specialists. “You have to be pretty selfish as a setter,” said Graham. “Everybody notices the big kill, everybody can see a big block or a great dig. But very few people understand the importance of the setter putting the ball in the same spot every time. “The way I kind of look at the setter is they are not only the quarterback of the team but they are an extension of the coaching staff. They need to know where to go, when to go, and when to go to different players based on the rhythm of the game.” Page doesn’t get the attention like Manning but doesn’t care. “Setting is really one of the positions that doesn’t get recognized because we are not the point scorers typically,” she said. “When I won All-State it showed people do recognize that the position is a very important. I love being a setter. I love touching the ball. Pretty much on the third play I’m guaranteed to touch the ball since I touch every second ball. And I’m short so I

Photo by Jim Benton couldn’t really play on the front row.” Douglas County’s Ally Clancy, a second team Class 5A All-State player, acknowledges there is pressure that goes with being a setter. “At times there can be pressure,” said Clancy. “When you are winning, you get the glory, everybody is happy, everything is going good and everybody is so positive. But when you are losing and you are down points you can definitely see change in the duties of your job because as a quarterback you still have to maintain your positivity even if you don’t have the reasons to be positive. “It’s a huge challenge because players

are not going to be positive all the time. They are going to be in slumps and have bad attitudes. As a setter you have to maintain them as well as yourself even off court. Page, the same as Clancy, is 5-foot-7. But both have excelled despite height limitations. “In a perfect world we would like every player to be 6-foot,” said Graham. “In high school, you get the players you get. If we see a tall athlete, they all want to hit, but we try to convince them that they could be a good setter. If you are a 6-foot hitter, you are a dime a dozen. If you are a 6-foot setter you are a wanted commodity.”

Heads up — soccer concussions scrutinized Properly headed balls not to blame for issues, studies say By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com

Concussions are a growing concern for American football coaches. But are the other football coaches, known in this country as soccer coaches, concerned about headers causing possible concussions? The spotlight on concussions has created a debate on whether soccer players who play a ball with their forehead to clear, pass or shoot can cause concussions or long-term brain damage. “Heading is not responsible for concussions,” insisted Heritage coach Adam Buseck. According to reports in the Center for Injury Research and Policy more high school soccer players had concussions in 2010 than basketball, baseball, wrestling and softball players combined. The CIRP narrative claimed concussions for the 2011-12 school year represented 34 percent of all injuries in boys soccer and 30 percent in girls soccer. There have been myriad studies on heading the soccer ball and almost all claim there is a low occurrence of concussions caused by heading the ball. Most soccer concussions, studies say, come when a player is accidentally hit in the head with a ball, or makes contact with a goal post, the ground or another player with their head. “Heading is not where I’ve seen any damage in relation to concussions,” said Cherry Creek coach Chleo Curi. “The damage comes from two heads hitting each other. That’s where I see them. And when sometimes a player falls

down on this new Astroturf that we are using everywhere and he hits his head on the turf. That’s a jolt to the brain and a potential concussion. Then there is somebody who might be elbowed in head.” Many players have not been taught how to properly head a soccer ball, coaches say. A player should go meet the ball and not let the ball come to him. The ball should be stuck in the center of the forehead where the hairline meets the scalp. The players should attempt to be balanced and the force should be from bending from the waist and snapping the head and neck forward. “The majority of players do know how to head a ball but there are certainly some that do not,” said Curi. “I’m the varsity coach, so by the time they get to me most of them do. As they come here as freshmen, absolutely not. “A big part of going up to head a ball is to have your hands out in front to protect yourself. So rarely do two heads crash into each other. If both players use the proper technique which is to put their arms up, not away from their body, just up to protect any player coming any closer than that (that helps prevent collision). There is a proper technique of keeping your chin down close to your chest and arching your back and more or less throwing your eyes at the ball. That’s a catchy phrase that I always use. You need to arch your back, have your chin close to your chest and have your arms in in front to protect yourself from other players.” Ponderosa senior Lars Peterson didn’t start learning to head a soccer ball until he was 10-years-old and admits staying balanced to head a ball is tough. He said he doesn’t often head a ball during a soccer match. Soccer continues on Page 26

It’ll be fun. Starting a program, any kind of program in any sport, takes some time. We are on our way doing that right now starting this year on a varsity level in a great league.”

COACH: Bud Harper

Continental League, 10-5-1 overall and lost to Denver East in the state playoffs.

TOP RETURNING PLAYERS: Jeff Ingell, D, Jr.; Matt Davenport, F, Sr.; Jackson Goldsberry, D/MF, Sr.; Haydyn Goring, D, Sr.; Troy Steckelberg, MF, Sr. 2014 OUTLOOK: Harper takes over as head coach after serving the past eight years as an assistant. “I’m very excited,” said Harper. “We feel like talent-wise this is the best that we’ve been. It’s a great opportunity for us.”

TOP RETURNING Players: Louie Sawaged, D, Sr.; Brent Lackey, MF, Jr.

2014 OUTLOOK: It’s a good bet that Vista will be competitive again. The Golden Eagles have posted winning seasons over the past five years.

Rock Canyon

COACH: Matt Sassali

2014 OUTLOOK: Sassali, who has been an assistant at Rock Canyon, takes over for Sean Henning as head coach and will have to replace 10 seniors off last season’s team. Larsson was sixth in league scoring statistics with 20 points.

SkyView Academy

COACH: Miles Martin

2013 RECAP: The Hawks played a junior varsity schedule and went 5-9 for the season.

ThunderRidge

COACH: Chris Smith

2013 RECAP: The Grizzlies were 3-8-0 in the Continental League and 4-11-0 overall.

TOP RETURNING PLAYERS: Erick Meza, F,

Sr.; Kyle Henry, F, Jr.

2014 OUTLOOK: Meza was the team’s leading scorer in 2013 and ThunderRidge hopes to end a twoyear skid with a winning season in 2014.

Valor Christian

COACH: Brian Schultz

2013 RECAP: The Eagles set three program

records with 11 wins, eight shutouts and by reaching the second round of the Class 4A State playoffs for the first time. Valor was the only 4A school to beat state champion Cheyenne Mountain during the regular season.

TOP RETURNING PLAYERS: Robo Lanz, MF, Soph.; Brendan Clark, MF, Jr.; Hunter Peery, D, Jr.; Ian Thomas, D, Jr.; Josh Floyde, MF, Sr.; Brennan Veen, GK, Sr. 2014 OUTLOOK: Valor has graduated 23 seniors over the past two seasons and this fall young players will have to step up. Veen, Floyde, Nick Titterton and Ian Crawford are the seniors on the team. Crawford anchors a back line that returns three of four starters. The Eagles’ pressure defense is a catalyst for the team’s high-tempo, possession-oriented attack. “In the attack, look for Clark’s skill and pace to join forces with speedsters Lanz and Eric Jungjohann to produce a high octane assault,” said Schultz. “Valor will look to get attacking midfielders Buddy Nelson, Ryan Turner and JJ Jungjohann forward frequently into attacking positions around the 18.”

Creek uses ladder to reach, stay at top Mountain Vista expects to challenge Bruins in Class 5A By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Defending state champion Cherry Creek, like many high school boys tennis teams, has a tennis ladder to determine positions on the team. The Bruins’ ladder, however, is an extension ladder. Creek has a non-cut policy and averages 160 players per season. This year there are only 130 candidates trying out but a large ladder is still needed. Junior varsity coach Gary Harris is in charge of the ladder for head coach Kirk Price’s teams. Cherry Creek will have three varsity teams involving around 40 players. The remaining players form the junior varsity teams and the respective spots are each determined by movement on the ladder. Creek’s first tennis coach Rich Hillway gets credit for starting the tennis ladder, which has evolved over the years. “Rich started it, then we had a computer program that started with the Dos program and evolved into what it is right now,” said Harris. “It’s on the Internet. We have a website. It’s part of the system that has evolved through a non-cut policy. A couple years ago we expanded to three varsity teams and we have three junior varsity teams. “To develop the varsity we have a cluster system. We have 10 clusters, four players in a cluster and those top 40 players determine the three varsity teams.” The Varsity 1 team consists of the top 11 players on the ladder plus one alternate, who moves up and down. Players 13 to 24 become the second varsity

Mountain Vista’s Ben Antonsen returns a volley during a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Columbine’s Andy Wright to earn a Class 5A Regional title Oct. 3. 2013 at Redstone Park in Highlands Ranch. Antonsen finished second at state for the Golden Eagles and is the only singles player from last year’s roster to return to the court this fall. File photo and 25 through 38 the third varsity. The coaches freeze these positions after cluster and assigned matches between the players are completed. Open challenge matches are allowed all season up through the last player as-

and coaches’ decisions as the criteria. The remaining players that make Varsity 1 are determined by doubles cluster play, which includes Varsity 2 and Varsity Tennis continues on Page 26

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF AUG 18, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) A chaotic atmosphere taxes the patience of the Aries Lamb, who prefers to deal with a more orderly environment. Best advice: Stay out of the situation until things settle. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Tension runs high in both personal and workplace relationships. This can make it difficult to get your message across. Best to wait until you have a more receptive audience. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) This is a good time to take a break from your busy schedule to plan for some well-deserved socializing. You could get news about an important personal matter by the week’s end.

crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) An offer of help could come just when you seem to need it. But be careful about saying yes to anything that might have conditions attached that could cause problems down the line. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Sometimes a workplace colleague can’t be charmed into supporting the Lion’s position. That’s when it’s time to shift tactics and overwhelm the doubter with the facts. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) You continue to earn respect for your efforts to help someone close to you stand up to a bully. But be careful that in pushing this matter you don’t start to do some bullying yourself. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Don’t ask others if they think you’re up to a new responsibility. Having faith in your own abilities is the key to dealing with a challenge. P.S.: That “private” matter needs your attention. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) This is a good time to use that Scorpian creativity to come up with something special that will help get your derailed career plans back on track and headed in the right direction. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) While change is favored, it could be a good idea to carefully weigh the possible fallout as well as the benefits of any moves before you make them. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) The Goat continues to create a stir by following his or her own path. Just be sure you keep your focus straight and avoid any distractions that could cause you to make a misstep. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A colleague’s demands seem out of line. But before reacting one way or another, talk things out and see how you might resolve the problem and avoid future misunderstandings. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A personal matter appears to be making more demands on your time than you feel you’re ready to give. See if some compromise can be reached before things get too dicey.

Retired European players coined the phrase “footballer’s migraine.” Potential problems and long-term effects of the impact of headers are still being studied. Heading is a big part of the game and can’t be eliminated. It is a dramatic and challenging skill for soccer players to master. If properly performed, it not inherently dangerous and can be fun. However, Dr. Tom Schweizer who is the director of the neuroscience research program at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto pointed out in a February news release that not enough is known about the long-range effects on heading a soccer ball. “The practice of heading, which might occur thousands of times over a player’s career, carries unknown risks but may uniquely contribute to cognitive decline or impairment in the short or long-term,” he said.

3 players. Senior Harshil Dwivedi has been playing challenge matches and moving up and down the ladder for years. He was a No. 4 doubles champion with Gifford Mellick as a sophomore and won the No. 1 doubles championship last fall with Jake Miller. He is battling for one of the top three singles positions this season. “It (the ladder) just kind of forces kids to get better,” Dwivedi said. “Even if they are not very good their freshman year, by their senior year they could win a state title. “Yeah, it gets frustrating. My sophomore year I played very well the first half of tryouts but barely made the cutoff for the team.” Depth has obviously been a key factor in Cherry Creek winning 39 of the last 43 state championships. “The program itself lends to building quality players,” said Price, who is retiring after this season. “One year, we only had one or two ranked players and we still won state and that’s because we build players from within with the ladder and team tournaments and the challenges at the beginning and all of that goes into it. They play continuously from day one.” Creek has six players returning who won or shared Class 5A state championships last season, but the Bruins expect to be challenged by Fairview and Denver East this fall. Mountain Vista also has five players back from last year’s team that finished third at state. There were 40 players that came out for the Golden Eagles team, which doesn’t match Creek’s numbers but coach Jim Flanigan will have a strong team again. “Depth is very important when a team is trying to win a state title,” said Flanigan. “You gain points at every position and if you only have a few quality players at the top then you cannot get enough points even if you win the top couple positions. “It is very hard to match Cherry Creek’s depth due to the size of the school and the amount of indoor facilities that feed into the school.” Flanigan, however, is not daunted. “As a coach you have to prepare your kids to win a state championship because that is the goal,” he said. “This year we have the same opportunity as Cherry Creek to win a state championship and we need to take advantage of that and believe in ourselves.”
