SURF’S UP!
Formula factors in size of district, student poverty LEFT: Two children dance to the Beloved Invaders, an instrumental surf band that performed Aug. 28 at Civic Green Park in Highlands Ranch for the last of the Summer’s Sunset Concert series, sponsored by the Highlands Ranch Community Association and the Highlands Ranch Metro District.

It was one last blast of summer for the crowd that gathered at Civic Green Park Aug. 28 for the last of the Summer’s Sunset Concert series, co-sponsored by the Highlands Ranch Community Association and the Highlands Ranch Metro District. For an hour-and-ahalf, the Beloved Invaders entertained the crowd with instrumental surf music, playing original songs and well-known tunes such as “Pipeline.” “Everybody thinks of surf music,” lead guitarist Bob Cannistraro said, “and they automatically think of the Beach Boys.” So, naturally, as part of their set, the band gave the crowd what they wanted: a medley of Beach Boys songs, which got the children dancing, and the beach balls bouncing.

jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School Board long has expressed dissatisfaction with the state’s education funding, saying county residents shoulder an unfair tax burden. It is not alone in concerns about K-12 funding. A Colorado Department of Education official said the department’s complex formula for school districts has changed little in 20 years, but is designed to factor in changes within districts. “We’ve been using this formula since 1994. There have been some little tweaks around the edges, but there haven’t been significant changes,” said Leanne Emm, the CDE’s assistant commissioner for school finance. “I think it depends on what kind of district you live in whether you like the formula or not. “But the formula does adjust, or attempts to adjust, for the demographics within individual districts.” DCSD continues on Page 9

Responding with the quickness Littleton Fire Rescue in trial phase of Quick Car program By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton Fire Rescue is amid the trial period for a program designed to speed response times and conserve resources. Using vehicles called Quick Cars is an “out-of-the-box and innovative way” to better serve the community, said Littleton Fire Rescue Chief Chris Armstrong. The department is testing two types of vehicles for the Quick Cars, a Ford F-150 and a Chevrolet Suburban. In early August, the department launched the trial period of the program, an alternative method to using emergency resources to respond to non-emergent calls. They “allow us to keep the big red trucks, as we call them,” LFR District Chief Jeff Pasker said, “for acute medical calls.” An emergent call, Pasker said, is one that needs immediate 911 attention. A non-emergent call would be one that a person calls 911 for water problems, somebody stuck in an elevator or an odor investigation, he said. The department is studying data on the Quick Cars, including tracking response

Pasker said eight people are needed for one fire engine or medic unit, but a Quick Car only needs two people. Personnel of a Quick Car includes a para-

Locked in a tight re-election campaign, U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman on Aug. 26 released his first television ad, targeted at a demographic that will be crucial in determining whether he keeps his seat. The ad aims to appeal to women voters by touting Coffman’s congressional record on issues like sexual assault reform in the military and gender discrimination in health Coffman insurance pricing.

The story of rest is the rest of the story It’s 7:20 p.m. and Sean is bent over physics homework, graphs that show position and velocity in relation to time. Motion maps. The work isn’t particularly difficult for him. The challenge is staying focused. “The more I think,” he says, “the more irritated I feel.” Sean is my 17-year-old son. He’s a high school senior and a good student. But he’s tired. If you ask him what he looks forward to on weekends, he’ll give you the same answer many teens do: Sleeping. No wonder. Instead of the eight-and-a-half to nine-and-a-half hours of sleep research has found teens need to perform at their best, Sean averages six to seven each night. Even though he sometimes slips into bed at 9:30 or 10, he usually can’t fall asleep until 11, and he’s at school most mornings by 5:45 for weight sessions with his baseball team. Classes begin at 7:35. We are a tired country. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has called insufficient sleep a public health epidemic, noting in a 2009 study almost 38 percent of adults had unintentionally fallen asleep during the day at least once in the preceding month and nearly 5 percent had fallen asleep while driving at least once during the same time period. Scary. But not surprising. Like the one-third of adults in the study, I, too, consistently sleep less than the recommended seven hours a day and often find myself longing for just a few minutes in which to rest my eyes. The real calamity, though, is the sleep deprivation of our teenage children, who as a generation are losing the opportunity to achieve their highest potential, simply because they don’t have the few more hours needed to recharge. “Sleep is absolutely vital, not just from a physical standpoint, but from a
mental, emotional and cognitive standpoint,” says Steve Portenga, a performance psychologist who teaches at the University of Denver and helps athletes, surgeons and others in high-risk occupations perform consistently at their highest levels. A key element to that formula is sleep. Sean would agree. On days when he’s tired, “it’s hard to focus. I just catch myself spacing,” he says. But when he feels rested, “it’s easier to participate in class — you feel more in it. It’s easier to comprehend and retain information … I’m just more aware, in general.” Portenga talks about two studies that directly link sleep to performance. In the first, two groups of people were given 12 hours to solve a difficult problem. One group received the problem in the morning, so didn’t sleep before resolving it that evening. The other group received it in the evening, so had the opportunity to sleep before coming up with an answer. “Both had the same amount of time to solve it …” Portenga said, “but the ones who had a chance to sleep performed significantly better.” In the second study, electrodes were connected to the brains of mice as they figured out a way through a maze. As the mice slept, researchers noted the same series of connections firing as had occurred when they navigated the maze. The mice were replaying their route; the brain was moving information from
short-term to long-term memory, which makes retrieving information easier down the road. The study showed, Portenga says, that “for consolidating learning, sleep is a really vital process.” With that knowledge in mind, the American Academy of Pediatrics, saying the average American teen is “chronically sleep deprived and pathologically sleepy,” last week declared middle- and high-schoolers should begin their day at 8:30 a.m. at the earliest — essentially an hour later than most do now. Such a change would align with teens’ natural sleep cycles, which make it difficult for them — like Sean — to fall asleep before 11 p.m. And it would be key to helping “adolescents get the sleep they need to grow and learn.” According to a National Sleep Foundation poll, 87 percent of high school students and 59 percent of sixththrough eighth-graders were sleeping less than the recommended eight-anda-half to nine-and-a-half hours a night. Reasons range from sports, after-school activities, jobs and homework to overactive technology use. The academy’s policy statement noted lack of sleep in teens not only translates to a decrease in learning and poorer grades, but also to more physical and mental health problems and an increased risk of car accidents. Scary. But not surprising. Senior Craig Breuker can attest to the positive impact of a later starting time. His first class this semester starts with second period, which means he begins classes at 8:30. The difference from previous years is stark. “When I wake up, I just feel refreshed,” he says. “When I used to wake up at 6:30, I would always feel down and groggy. I haven’t had a morning where I feel like I want to go back to bed. When I get up, I’m ready for the day to start.” He’s more focused. He has more energy later in the day. His eyes don’t get
heavy. An A and B student, Craig practices soccer after school until 5:15, then mows lawns until dusk, then finally heads home to do homework. If there’s time, he’ll watch some TV until turning off the lights at about 10:30. Going to bed, he says, “is like a restart.” But considering only 15 percent of our country’s high schools begin the day at 8:30 or later, Craig’s sense of rested well-being belongs to a minority of teens. There is a long way to go. School district schedules are built around a complexity of ingredients, from bus schedules to athletics to extracurricular activities, and a realignment of all those pieces would need buy-in from not only school officials, but also from parents and teens, themselves. Until the paradigm shifts, until we are willing to take on the challenge — if we ever are — days for many teens will begin somewhat like this: 5 a.m. The first alarm goes off. Music blares. Sean reaches over and turns it off. 5:10 a.m. Music blares again. Unwilling to leave the warmth of his bed, Sean reaches over and sets a third alarm for 10 minutes later. 5:20 a.m. More music. Five more minutes tick by and his feet hit the floor. He throws on a T-shirt, some shorts, shoes. Brushes his teeth. Washes his face. He grabs a water bottle and heads out the door. It is still dark, the notion of sleep already forgotten. Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week.

Virus spreads among horses, livestock Vesicular stomatitis now confirmed in eight counties
TIPS FOR LIVESTOCK OWNERS:
By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com When it comes to protecting animals from the vesicular stomatitis virus that is spreading across the state, cleanliness is key, officials say. The virus, spread primarily by flies, causes oral blisters and painful sores that can lead to difficulty eating and drinking. VSV has affected horses and livestock in eight Colorado counties, including Douglas County, and 205 properties statewide are under quarantine. As of Aug. 27, there have been 222 properties quarantined, but 17 have been released, according to the Colorado Department of Agriculture’s State Veterinarian’s Office. The majority of cases have been located in Boulder and Jefferson counties. There has only been one confirmed case in Douglas County, and there have been no reported cases in Elbert County. “The most important thing people can do to guard against it is to practice proper manure management, proper cleanliness with water and feeding and to take precautions against the flies themselves,” Colorado State Veterinarian Dr. Keith Roehr said. At Wood Run Farm, a horse training and boarding facility in Castle Rock, barn manager Jessica Maher is taking every precaution to protect the horses in her care. Horses are kept in individual stalls and

Photo by Mike DiFerdinando given their own water and food. There is a fly-spray system in the barn, and horses wear protective capes and masks to guard against flies while they graze. “Training and educating the staff is first and foremost so that they know what to look for and they know what to do as well as the borders and clients,” Maher said. “I’ve done bulletin-board posts, Facebook posts and emails making them aware of what it is and what we can do to control it.” Maher said she has received some calls from concerned clients. “There’s always concern, especially since it’s been spreading so rapidly,” Maher said. “It is a big concern, but knowing that we’re do-
ing the best we can gives us a piece of mind.” Colorado is the second state in the country to have confirmed cases of VSV this year. Previous cases in 2014 have been diagnosed in the southern area of Texas near the Mexico border and more recently in Bastrop and Travis counties, just south of Austin. Veterinarians and livestock owners who suspect an animal may be infected should immediately contact state or federal animal health authorities. Livestock with clinical signs of VSV are isolated until they are healed and determined to be of no further threat for disease spread. There are no USDA-approved vaccines for vesicular stomatitis.
Sierra Trading Post Opens First Colorado Location Move over REI, there’s a new game in town. Approximately 600 people attended the grand opening and ribbon cutting held by Sierra Trading Post, an outlet store specializing in outdoor gear, on Thursday, August 28. The event marked the Wyoming-based company’s first entry into the Colorado market; a Fort Collins location is expected to open shortly. Bargain hunters camped outside the facility with lines wrapping around the building,
hoping to win door prizes and purchase discounted outdoor gear. Prizes included gift cards, discount cards, reusable bags, and a chance to win a trip to Jackson Hole, WY. “[There were] flocks of people wrapped around the corner of the building, even some campers first in line with sleeping bags and a heater,” said attendee Aubrey Allmond. The ceremony began with remarks by Robert Golden, president/CEO of the South Metro
Pictured from left: Mayor of Greenwood Village Ron Rakowsky; Brent Layton, assistant VP of retail operations, store manager John Williams, and Gary Imig, president of Sierra Trading Post.
Denver Chamber, who welcomed the company to Colorado and the South Metro Denver Chamber, and introduced Gary Imig, president of Sierra Trading Post. Imig said, “We’re thrilled to open our newest retail store in South Denver. We want shopping with us in the store to be as convenient as shopping with us online, and we’re leveraging some of the newest technology to make that happen for our South Denver customers.” Mayor of Greenwood Village Ron Rakowsky also shared a welcome on behalf of the city. The ribbon cutting was followed by a $5,000 donation presentation by Sierra Trading Post to the Thorne Nature Experience, whose mission is to build Earth stewardship by connecting youth to nature through joyful, hands-on, placebased environmental education experiences. The event’s attendees included several City of Greenwood Village councilmembers, as well as Sierra Trading Post executive staff. Following the ribbon cutting, eager shoppers filed into the outlet to capitalize on overstock, closeout, and minimally blemished name brand merchandise.

HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Littleton Ice Bucket Challenge HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Littleton challenged other local healthcare organizations and accepted the challenge from sister hospital HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Colorado Springs to take the “Ice Bucket Challenge” to raise money and awareness for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. More than 100 HealthSouth Littleton staff members, patients and supporters gathered on the front lawn of the hospital, located at 1001 W. Mineral Ave., on Friday, Aug. 22 at 11:00 a.m. and doused themselves with ice cold water. A barbecue lunch was provided to those who made a donation to the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the ALS Association which supports local individuals who have ALS through
support, research and advocacy. Representation from the organization was present at the event. “The Ice Bucket Challenge is a great way to highlight the care that is provided to those with neurological conditions, including ALS, at our hospital and in the community,” says David Shefte, CEO of HealthSouth Littleton. “We hope our peers in the healthcare field will join us in raising awareness and have a little fun at the same time.” ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. It causes muscle weakness especially in the arms and legs and affects one’s ability to speak, swallow and breathe. HealthSouth Littleton provides customized
therapy plans for those battling ALS which may include physical, occupational and speech therapies. HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Littleton HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Littleton is a 40-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital that offers comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation services.

• Strict fly control is an important factor to inhibit the transmission of the disease. • Avoid transferring feeding equipment, cleaning tools or health care equipment from other herds. • Colorado veterinarians and livestock owners should contact the state of destination when moving livestock across state lines to ensure that all import requirements are met. A list of contact information for all state veterinarians’ offices is available at www.colorado.gov/ag/animals. Click on “Import Requirements.” • Colorado fairs, livestock exhibitions, and rodeos may institute new entry requirements based on the extent and severity of the current VSV outbreak. Certificates of Veterinary Inspection issued within 2-5 days prior to an event can be beneficial to reduce risks. Be sure to stay informed of any new livestock event requirements. • During an event, important VSV prevention procedures include minimizing the sharing of water and feed/equipment, applying insect repellent daily (especially to the ears), and closely observing animals for signs of VSV. • If moving livestock internationally please contact the USDA APHIS VSV Colorado office at 303-231-5385 to determine if there are any movement restrictions or testing requirements for VSV.
While rare, human cases of VSV can occur, usually among those who handle infected animals. In humans, the virus can cause flulike symptoms and rarely includes lesions or blisters. “I would tell people, don’t grow weary or complacent if you haven’t seen any symptoms with your animals,” Roehr said. “Until we have a killing freeze, which is still probably 60 days away, there is going to be a threat.”

Highlands Ranch, Ponderosa students exceed averages
Students at two Douglas County high schools demonstrated their academic prowess on a global level. Highlands Ranch and Ponderosa’s test scores in the Programme for International Student Assessment were higher than national and international averages. The PISA tests the skills of 15-yearolds in math, science and reading. Initiated in 2000, it is repeated every three years. It has become a yardstick for measuring the quality of school systems. Highlands Ranch and Ponderosa students outscored or kept pace with Finland, which is considered an international academic leader. The handful of countries that outscored the DCSD schools all were Asian. “Obviously, we’re very pleased about it,” said Highlands Ranch principal Jerry Goings. “I’m a public school advocate. I believe we’re doing a pretty darn good job. We need to always do better. But it definitely was reaffirming to me about the American education system.” Ponderosa principal Chuck Puga did not return calls requesting comment. About 50 Highlands Ranch sophomores, randomly chosen by PISA, took the two-hour test in 2012. Those students graduated last spring. Overall, the United States ranked below average in math, and close to average in science and reading, but the Douglas County schools surpassed those rankings. Goings is not surprised. “We thought we would do very, very well,” he said. “We in public school keep saying, if you compare it apples to apples and take out schools in America that are below the average poverty rate of 10 percent, we (the United States) actually fare very well. “I know we have a great school and a great community, and we’re fortunate because we have a lower poverty rate. I would argue any Douglas County high
school would come in very similar in a true PISA test.” The most recent census figures show about 4 percent of Douglas County residents live below the poverty level. A report on the 2012 PISA, issued by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) that conducts it, notes the impact of poverty on scores. “Socioeconomic background has a significant impact on student performance in the United States, with some 15 percent of the variation in student performance explained by this, similar to the OECD average,” according to the report. Former DCSD teacher and author Angela Engel, who writes on education issues, agrees. “All the research indicates the number one correlating factor to test scores is socioeconomic status,” she said. “It is a known fact that when you account for poverty, American schools that are in districts with high wealth are the topperforming in the country. “Any reforms that don’t address poverty are going to yield the same failed results that we’ve seen.” Goings said the high scores don’t negate the need for changes in education. “I think education, just like any other business, needs to constantly look at how we get better,” he said. “We have students going into a world that we can’t define right now for them. We need to have these critical thinkers. So yes, we need to have some reform efforts. We need reform because we need to continue to change and move on. “But saying we need reform because we’re failing? I would have an argument with that.” Douglas County School District Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen also was pleased by the scores. “We want to make sure students are really prepared on a world stage and that is why we like the PISA test,” she said. “If you look at DCSD scores against the rest of the country, we’ve done some really interesting things and may be performing better than Finland in some of our high schools — a country that is often regarded as one of the international leaders.”

Mixed signals frustrate death penalty opponents Governor’s view on capital punishment was kept close to vest By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Key Democratic lawmakers were frustrated with Gov. John Hickenlooper’s guidance last year on a death penalty repeal bill and now feel that there was an opportunity lost, given that Hickenlooper’s stance against capital punishment is now known. At the same time, Democrats believe that the governor’s “wrestling” on the issue was sincere and hold no resentment toward him for his limited involvement during the legislative process. A sponsor of a bill that sought to end capital punishment in Colorado believes that the repeal effort would have passed had Hickenlooper come around on his anti-death penalty position sooner. Hickenlooper — who had campaigned as a supporter of the death penalty in 2010 — acknowledged in an interview with KDVR-TV in August that his position has evolved over the years and that he now opposes capital punishment. But Hickenlooper wasn’t prepared to talk about those views in 2013, when Democrats were crafting a death penalty repeal bill. Former Rep. Claire Levy, D-Boulder, a sponsor of the bill, said her effort was a “chal-
lenge” because of Hickenlooper’s lack of guidance on the legislation. “It did it make it difficult for lawmakers who felt they may be vulnerable for repealing the death penalty; difficult to make to make a commitment to me knowing the bill could be vetoed,” Levy said. Levy said she had several conversations with Hickenlooper about the bill, but it wasn’t until just before the legislation was up for a committee hearing that he suggested that might veto. The bill died in the House Judiciary Committee on March 26, after the governor’s feelings on the legislation became known. “If (Hickenlooper) had arrived at his position earlier, we would have all benefited because we would have known what to do,” said Rep. Daniel Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village, the committee chairman who is against capital punishment. “He was wrestling, no question about it.” The repeal bill had Republican support as well, with Adams County Rep. Kevin Priola’s name appearing on the legislation. Priola had hoped the bill would also spark a conversation on abortion, which he opposes. “I wanted to have a discussion on state policy on the sanctity of life,” he said. “The state of Colorado needs to have a discussion of being pro-life in every way.” With Priola’s support and the support of religious groups, Levy said she was optimistic about the bill’s chances of clearing the General Assembly, had Hickenlooper provided
his support. “We really did have a unique opportunity,” she said.
CNN interview surfaces While there was frustration with Hickenlooper over his role in the death penalty repeal bill, Democrats say they respected the governor’s decision-making process. “While I really wanted a firm yes or no, I understand completely why he was not able to do that for us,” Levy said. “And I think the reason he couldn’t is really what he’s been saying publicly all along and that he’s really been wrestling with this issue.” The death penalty issue made headlines again recently after a newly surfaced CNN interview from November became public. In the interview, Hickenlooper told a reporter that clemency for death row inmate Nathan Dunlap could still be on the table. Hickenlooper granted Dunlap an indefinite reprieve in May 2013. Hickenlooper’s campaign said that in the CNN interview, the governor was responding to a hypothetical question, and that Dunlap — who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993 — will die in prison. Even though Kagan would have liked to have seen Hickenlooper support last year’s death penalty repeal, he was OK with how the governor handled the Dunlap situation. “I respect the position he arrived at in the end,” Kagan said. “He said he’s not going to
decide for an entire state on this issue, instead he said, `I cannot, in good conscience, be the one to sign the death warrant.’” But Republicans have blasted Hickenlooper over his evolution on the death penalty and for his “indecision and weak leadership” on the issue. “On my watch, justice will carried out, the laws of the state of Colorado will be enforced and I will never turn my back on the victims,” said former Congressman Bob Beauprez, who is running against Hickenlooper in this fall’s gubernatorial election. Rep. Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs, a former House minority leader, said the death penalty is just one example where Hickenlooper has been hesitant to “weigh in on legislation unless he absolutely has to.” “He never lets you know what his position is,” Waller said. “It’s like he lets the issue lead him.” But Democrats, for all their frustrations, say Hickenlooper’s “thoughtful” approach to painful, moral decisions on issues like the death penalty is better than the alternative. “When somebody is so completely glib and saying, `Oh, I would put someone to death if I were in charge,’ that reflects to me a lack of depth, a lack of appreciation of the enormity of the decision you’re making,” Levy said. Kagan agrees. “I will never knock a man who follows his conscience before taking a politically expedient position,” he said.
Mascot bill would defer to Indian panels for decisions By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The debate over the use of American Indian mascots will come to the state Capitol next year. State Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, is expected to carry a bill that could result in schools losing their mascots — or even losing state funding. And the effort is sure to result in a vibrant public meeting on Salazar’s bill, which is scheduled for Sept. 10. Salazar said his bill would require schools that receive state funding and that wish to have Indian-themed mascots to first get the OK from representatives of American Indian
communities. Salazar said the Colorado Commission of Indian Affairs could be in charge of making those decisions, or perhaps another commission would be created by lawmakers, who return to the Capitol in January. If schools don’t go before an Indian commission, he said his legislation would still allow the schools to continue to use their mascots — but at a price. “If they don’t want to reach out, they can use the mascot, but they don’t get state funding,” he said. “They are able to exercise their First Amendment rights, but as a state we don’t have to participate in their discriminatory conduct.” There is an ongoing national debate over
the use of Indian-themed mascots, one that has centered on the NFL’s Washington Redskins. Opponents of Washington’s mascot want it done away with because they feel it is a derogatory term that is akin to any other racial slur. The debate has led some NFL announcers and news organizations to move away from using the term “Redskins.” Others blast the movement as political correctness gone too far and say that the mascots are not racist, but rather pay homage to American Indian culture and history. “They don’t get to make that justification,” Salazar said of that argument. “It’s the American Indian community that gets to decide if
it’s racist to them. They can’t just say, `I don’t think it’s racist, so it’s not racist.’ You don’t get to decide.” The issue will be discussed at a public meeting that is scheduled to be held at the Denver Indian Family Resource Center, 4407 Morrison Road, from 4:30-7 p.m. on Sept. 10. There, Salazar will also talk about another piece of legislation that is of interest to the American Indian community — his revival of a bill that would allow out-of-state American Indian students to attend Colorado colleges at in-state tuition rates, so long as they have ties to Colorado tribes. That legislation died in a committee hearing earlier this year.

Waller denounces GOP candidate’s anti-gay comments House District 15 hopeful Klingenschmitt draws ire of fellow Republicans By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Former House Minority Leader Mark Waller on Aug. 27 blasted the fellow Republican who is seeking to succeed him over his recent “horribly inappropriate” anti-gay comments. Waller, who is not seeking re-election for his Colorado Springs-based House District 15 seat, also told Colorado Community Media that Gordon Klingenschmitt’s candidacy “certainly does have an impact” on other races on the fall ballot. When reached for comment, Klingenschmitt said he takes no issue with Waller’s comments and apologized for what led to Waller’s admonishment.
Klingenschmitt, who is a chaplain, made national headlines earlier in the week for comments he made in a mass-distributed email. Klingenschmitt suggested that Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, who is gay, wants to kill Christians, much like the Islamic extremist group who was responsible for beheading a U.S. journalist earlier in August. “Democrats like Polis want to bankrupt Christians who refuse to worship and endorse his sodomy,” he wrote. “Next he’ll join ISIS in beheading Christians, but not just in Syria, right here in America.” Waller said his “11-year-old son can identify that as a hateful speech.” “I think it was horribly inappropriate to say,” Waller said. “It doesn’t matter if he’s a person running for state representative or a person on the street. I think it’s terrible to say. “Obviously, he does not speak for me or the Republican Party.” Waller hasn’t endorsed Klingenschmitt, but he wouldn’t go as far as saying that he should drop out of the race — as Klingen-
Carjacking suspect found competent for trial Staff report Ryan Cole Stone was deemed competent to stand trial during an Aug. 28 status conference held at the Douglas County Justice Center in Castle Rock. Stone is charged in connection with a multi-county, high-speed March 12 chase that ended at about 8:15 a.m. when Stone allegedly crashed a stolen silver sedan at Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street. The morning rush-hour chase started in Longmont after, police say, Stone stole an SUV with a 4-year-old boy in it,
then carjacked two other vehicles before crashing in Douglas County. During the chase, Stone struck and injured a Colorado State Patrol trooper. Stone, who is in custody, appeared with council. Two competency evaluations were presented to the court - one from the defense’s doctor and one from the state. The court accepted the recommendation of both, finding Stone competent to proceed. The defense did not object. A preliminary hearing for Stone is set for 2 p.m. Oct. 2 at the justice center.

schmitt’s opponent, Democrat Lois Fornander has. “If you’re not voting for him, you’re voting for the Democrat and quite honestly legislative majorities matter,” Waller said. “But that puts (House District 15 voters) in a rock and a hard place in terms of who to vote for.” House District 15 is heavily Republican and Klingenschmitt is still favored to win, in spite of his recent comments. Klingenschmitt apologized earlier in the week and did so again during a phone interview. He said he was trying to point out the “bad policies of Jared Polis,” but that he realizes his comments were offensive. Klingenschmitt has taken issue with Polis’ backing of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. He said the legislation should have religious exceptions. “I apologize for the hyperbole and I wrote that statement when I was tired between 1 and 2 in the morning, but I do not apologize for defending Christians for persecution.” When asked if it dawned on him that
he was using language that has historically been used to persecute gays while trying to defend Christians from “persecution,” Klingenschmitt said, “I don’t accept the premise of the question.” Klingenschmitt said he hopes voters will see past his comments. “I’m a first-time candidate and I am new at this,” he said. “I made a mistake and I won’t always say the right thing, but I do have a backbone and I will always stand on conviction.” Waller wasn’t the only Republican to denounce Klingenschmitt’s comments. Owen Loftus, a spokesman for the Colorado Republican Party, said that Klingenschmitt’s “comments in no way reflect the views of the party.” House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, DDenver, who is gay, said Klingenschmitt’s comments were “homophobic, extreme and slanderous.”
Man’s death deemed suicide Staff report The Douglas County Coroner’s Office confirmed that the death of a man whose body was discovered near Cherry Hills Community Church and the Valor Christian High School football field in Highlands Ranch was a suicide. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, at about 3:30 p.m. Aug. 28, responded to a call concerning “an individual that was
seen lying down and not moving around,” according to a public statement issued by the sheriff’s office. Responders arrived immediately on scene and discovered the body belonged to a deceased male, a sheriff’s office spokesman said. The 71-year-old man was a Highlands Ranch resident, the coroner said. Colorado Community Media generally does not print the name of suicide victims.

Proper peer pressure promotes performance Sometimes just the words “peer pressure” spark anxious, judgmental, and negative feelings. Especially when we attach verbs such as “succumbing to” or “giving in to” peer pressure. And many times we direct our guidance of avoiding peer pressure to the young adults, teenagers and children in our lives. No doubt there are more temptations and access to trouble now than in any previous generation. So our advice and steering to avoid peer pressure has never been more valuable, as long as it doesn’t fall on deaf ears or comes across as, “Well when I was your age …,” because that never goes well. Or if it sounds overplayed like, “If all of your friends jumped off of the top of the mountain would you follow too?” Yikes! Avoiding peer pressure can be turned from a negative to a positive as we encourage those that look up to us with confidence boosters and nurturing self-esteem building words and actions. You know how it goes, when we tell or ask someone not to do something, especially our youth, what do they do? Exactly what we told them or asked them not to do. Having open dialogues can be revealing about previous errors in judgment or examples where peers may have misled us, or perhaps we were the peer misleading others. As my friend Bert reminded me last week, sometimes when we think we are following, we could actually also be in a position of leading all of those who are following us too. Another awesome and positive side of peer pressure is playing itself out right now
before our very eyes, ears, and through our contributions. I am talking about the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. If you haven’t seen this yet or heard of it, the challenge has gone absolutely viral. People have been challenged to fill a bucket with water and ice and then dump the bucket over their head or have a family member or friend participate and tip the ice-filled bucket onto their head. Then each participant that has accepted the challenge gets to challenge others in their circle of friends, associates, or family to take the same challenge. Now if they don’t take the challenge and want to avoid the fleeting moment of freezing water spilling over their head and body, they can elect to make a donation to ALS. And in some cases I know people that have done both, accepted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and also made a nice financial contribution to ALS. And it’s not just ALS, just look at all the fundraisers for breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, SMA, diabetes, and so many others and include events like 5K runs, walks, auctions, golf tournaments where we sign
up to sponsor runners, walkers, golfers, and place our names on those silent auction sheets, all for the greater good. And you know how it goes, sometimes we are on the fence of whether or not we will participate or sponsor someone, and then one of our friends, one of our peers does it and before we know it we have jumped in as well. And that is just incredible. Peer pressure in business is also extremely positive. There is nothing better than some healthy and friendly competition. As a salesman I was always interested in how well my peers were doing. I used their productivity as a motivator to try and beat them the next day, week, or month. And it went both ways, my lifelong friend and fellow salesman would always contact me just to see what I sold that day so we could compete the following day. So the next time we feel like cringing when we hear the words “peer pressure,” just remember it can absolutely be leveraged as a positive influence in our lives and not always a negative. How about you? Have you had a positive experience with peer pressure? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we focus on the positive peer pressure in our lives it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.
Construction zone is no peaceful lane They are working on Quebec Street. I have some thoughts. I would aggressively avoid the area if you have had more than one cup of coffee. If you have spent a couple of hours at Lodo’s and go south on Quebec, prepare yourself for community service. In all my born days — as my grandmother used to say — I have never seen such a convolution of cones, barrels and arrows on a roadway. You will start on the right and then you will be expected to move to the left, back to the right. Lanes disappear. The cones get closer and closer together. Do you know who M.C. Escher is? He would have loved all of this. Take a look at “Rhythm of Illusion.” That’s exactly what Quebec is right now. This figures: The name “Quebec” comes from an Algonquin word meaning “where the river narrows.” I didn’t know that construction was going on and I made the mistake of trying to get to King Soopers at midnight simply to
pick up a noodle salad. I still don’t know how I managed to get anywhere near the store. I wanted to make a left and couldn’t. There was a guy using a jackhammer and right next to him was a worker who shouted something at me. I guess he thought I have some kind of metaphysical ability to hear something being said next to a jackhammer. And Smitty was barking his brains out. I eventually figured out that no left turn could be made, so I took a right on Park Meadows Drive and went through parts of
Lone Tree that I didn’t know existed. The good news is that I can avoid Quebec. Some of you can’t. It must be a nightmare on the way to work. We experience virtual Quebecs throughout our lives. I had to take one last nonmajor class in order to graduate on time. Outside of my major I was a zombie in Chuck Taylors. I was lost, blocked and confounded. A good friend of mine went through a divorce and her updates sounded exactly like those cones, barrels and arrows — nothing but wickets and anxiety, mixed in with residual anger and frustration. In a month or two the cones will be gone and it might be hard to remember any of this. And that’s another thing that happens to us all of the time. Of course, some of the frustrations we experience in life do not go away, and the cones remain. A relationship goes bad and never improves. I am not exactly sure what they are doMarshall continues on Page 9

DCSD Continued from Page 1
What has changed since 1994 — and angered school leaders statewide — is a recession-driven legislative cut to K-12 funding called the negative factor. Since 2010, it has reduced K-12 funding statewide by about $1 billion annually. Under Colorado’s formula, funding for every district starts at the same amount. For 2014-15, that base per-pupil funding is $6,121. From there, district-specific calculations are made, based mostly on cost of living, size of the district and number of students living in poverty. Douglas County has a relatively high cost of living and a low number of povertystricken students — determined by the number who are receiving free or reduced-price school lunches. Because the district is larger, the CDE also considers the economies of scale that smaller districts don’t have. That combination lands Douglas County as the 21st-lowest in funding among 178 Colorado school districts. Its estimated per-pupil funding for 2014-15 is $6,752. The DCSD board in July reiterated its concern about state funding when it adopted a resolution to not put a tax question aimed at capital needs on the fall ballot. The resolution stated the board believed it could not ask taxpayers to “dig deeper and provide more local tax revenues” until the district could seek redress from the state concerning its funding inequities. It said DCSD has been “consistently underfunded by the state,” with a disproportionate share of its taxes going to other Colorado school districts. Colorado’s per-pupil funding for 2014-15 ranges from $6,557 for the Branson School

whether additional units are needed or if a person needs to be transported to a hospital. A Quick Car can do anything an ambulance can do except transport a person to the hospital, Pasker said. In emergencies threatening life or structures, a traditional emergency response vehicle would be sent out. If a Quick Car is dispatched to a scene, and the incident turns out to be a large emergency, service would be upgraded to send out “full-fire response,” Pasker said. Quick Cars can arrive at the scene of an emergency one to one-and-a-half minutes faster than the engines or trucks, and cost less to send out, Armstrong said. Additionally, the vehicles are four-wheel drive, so they can access areas that a larger fire truck or EMT unit may not be able get to.

District in Las Animas County (with an estimated 472 students) to $15,567 for the Pawnee School District in Weld County (with an estimated 83 students). The average is $7,021. If the Douglas County district received the average state per-pupil funding for 2014-15, it would boost its revenues by about $269 per student — a total of $17.2 million, according to the resolution. Douglas’ “per-pupil funding is less than the state average,” Emm said. “However, they are a large district… And they have a relatively small at-risk population.” Among DCSD’s concerns, board president Kevin Larsen believes change is needed to create a more balanced distribution of at-risk student funds. Eliminating the negative factor is the first step in addressing funding issues, Larsen said, but not the ultimate solution. Without it, DCSD would have an added $74 million in annual revenues. With state revenues on the rise, lawmakers this year decreased the negative factor by $110 million. For DCSD, that meant an added $11 million. It’s an improvement, Larsen said, but still leaves the district $63 million short of pre-negative factor levels. Additionally, the combined effect of Colorado’s Gallagher and TABOR amendments, passed in 1982 and 1992 respectively, shifted the burden of school funding from local property taxes to the state. Larsen believes that also needs to change. “Putting more money into the discretion of local hands is ultimately the better way to go,” he said. “We are trying to do things we think would be more equitable for all districts, and certainly for Douglas County.”
How other districts compare Cherry Creek, which Emm said is com-
gender discrimination in health insurance pricing and ensure that women could not be charged more than men,” Coffman said through an emailed statement. But the Romanoff campaign was quick to attack Coffman’s ad as a “brazen attempt” to hide his actual voting record on women’s issues. The campaign rattled off a laundry list of Coffman’s positions on women’s issues, including his past support of the so-called “personhood” amendment, which would essentially ban abortions. Coffman said in a recent debate that he does not support personhood. The Romanoff campaign also attacked Coffman for his votes against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which sought to help women address income inequality. The Romanoff team also slammed Coffman for his support of a bill that sought to narrow the definition of rape. “It’s what the congressman is doing in
Pasker said there is not much of a difference in cost for equipping an ambulance or a Quick Car, but the vehicle itself is significantly less expensive. For example, Pasker said, an ambulance costs about $250,000, and a Suburban costs about $60,000 to $70,000. The fire department currently has two Quick Cars, one based at Fire Station No. 11 in downtown Littleton and one at Fire Station No. 17 in eastern Highlands Ranch. Quick Cars operate Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. During this trial period, Quick Cars have been dispatched, on average, to about four calls a day, crews said. The trial period is slated to end Oct. 3. Two additional Quick Cars may be added in 2015, Armstrong said, depending on the success of the program. It’s a “unique and different approach,” Armstrong said, and added that the department anticipates Quick Cars to become a permanent program. We’re “seeing great success with the program,” he said. “We’re real happy with it.”
fore. That’s what I tell myself: I am getting more done, but it’s meant that I have disconnected myself more and more from the human race. There won’t be many “great guy” quotes in my obituary. There is roadway construction all over the place, in every town (have you ever been to Detroit?). And, sure, it’s a pain in the neck. But. I thought about Amy Van Dyken. She might say, “It’s not that bad, Craig, and it won’t last forever, will it?” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast. net.
parable to the Douglas County district, is in line to receive about $195 more per student in state funds in 2014-15. Cherry Creek has a higher percentage of students receiving free and reduced lunches — about 30 percent, compared with DCSD’s 10.3 percent. “I think it’s a funding formula that strives to be fair taking into account all the differing factors that school districts have in their communities,” Cherry Creek spokeswoman Tustin Amole said. “But it has not been fully funded for several years with the state Legislature withholding more than $1 billion … due to the negative factor. That has had a significant impact on all school districts in Colorado.” Neighboring Littleton Public Schools will receive an estimated $6.38 more per student than the Douglas County district in 2014-15 funding. LPS did not respond to requests for comment. While Douglas County receives the lowest per-pupil funding in the Denver metro area, it isn’t at the bottom of the list in Colorado. Six El Paso County districts, including Academy in northern Colorado Springs, Lewis-Palmer in Monument, and Cheyenne Mountain in southern Colorado Springs, are funded at lower levels than DCSD. Lewis-Palmer assistant superintendent Cheryl Wangeman said the funding formula “makes some sense” in its consideration of larger districts’ economies of scale and percentage of disadvantaged students. In LPSD, 9.6 percent of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The district has about 6,000 students, roughly 60,000 fewer than the Douglas County district. Like leaders in Douglas County and Cherry Creek schools, Wangeman cites frustration with the negative factor. She also said funding for special education students falls short in Colorado, creating a constant fiscal chal-
lenge. Echoing Larsen, she pointed to the burden put on the state by the TABOR and Gallagher amendments. “That’s difficult for the state,” she said. “I don’t think there are any short-term solutions. The state has fiscal imbalances they have to deal with. Until that gets fixed, I think we’re going to continue to see funding difficulties.” A lawsuit filed in Denver District Court in June alleges the negative factor is unconstitutional and violates Amendment 23. The 2000 provision requires that annual education funding increase by the rate of inflation and enrollment growth.
Washington — not just what he’s saying in Colorado — that matters,” said Romanoff spokeswoman Denise Baron, through an emailed statement. Women voters overwhelmingly vote Democratic, and Coffman needs to peel off some of Romanoff’s support among women if he’s going to win re-election. The battle for CD6 — which was redistricted after the 2010 census to include a more culturally diverse group of voters — will be the most closely watched House race in the country. “In a way it’s flattering,” said Democratic strategist Laura Chapin, when asked for her reaction to Coffman’s ad. “It speaks to the
strength of Colorado women voters, and all the candidates are speaking to us this year. “But I find it interesting that after 20 years of not caring about women, Mike Coffman all of the sudden cares.” Laura Carno, a conservative political strategist, acknowledges that Republicans need to do a better job of reaching out to women voters, but said that’s achieved through economic policy stances instead of through “social issues.” “They look at it very narrowly,” Carno said of Democrats. “As if women wake up every morning thinking, `Oh my goodness, how is the government going to help me get birth control?’”
Dealing with budget constraints Wangeman said Lewis-Palmer has been challenged to work within its budget, particularly since Colorado already spends less than the national average on K-12 education. “This school district is known for having the lowest central office administrator/ student ratio probably in the state,” she said. “We cut way back on administrative staff. That means we have a lot of folks that work a lot of hours.” LPSD has struggled to keep class sizes down and teachers available for students who need extra help. “There are capital maintenance delays,” Wangeman said. “To make up for that, we make real good use of the state grants program. We put a new roof on Lewis-Palmer High School through the district and a grant. We did the same thing two years ago with Lewis-Palmer Middle School. “That being said, we’re really proud of what we’ve done. We are well known for producing kiddos who graduate, and we have one of the lowest remediation rates in the state.”

E-470 traffic grows at speedy pace Officials planning for next 5-10 years By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com An increasing number of motorists on E-470 has tolling-authority officials considering ways to brace for the future. E-470 has so far tallied a 12 percent jump in users over last year and consistently set daily records in July, including a single day in which 248,000 transactions were made. The figures are defying expectations and putting into motion initiatives aimed at getting a better look at what’s to come. The tolling authority — run by board members representing the eight jurisdictions that the highway passes through — is launching its first full traffic and revenue study since 2008 to “get a baseline on where things are going,” said John McCuskey, executive director of E-470. Research will focus on everything from highway efficiency during peak traffic hours to the economic development taking place along the corridor. The Parker Road interchange, in particular, has caught the attention of those who oversee day-to-day operations on the highway. In Cottonwood just to the north, King Soopers is coming back with its marketplace concept, and there are plans to devel-
op the land directly to the east for Vantage Point, which will contain 900 apartments and a handful of retail businesses. A senior living facility and Boondocks Family Fun Center will also open near E-470 and South Parker Road, and McCuskey expects all of the development to have a positive effect on the highway. Likewise, the Compark area near E-470 and Chambers Road has seen the arrival of manufacturers, retail outlets and medical companies in the last few years. The stretch of E-470 between Interstate 25 and South Parker Road is the most heavily traveled. “The growth we’ve seen down there has just been tremendous,” McCuskey said. National chains have taken a close look at repurposing the old toll plazas into gas stations or coffee shops, but they “want more traffic than what we have right now,” he said, adding that the vacant huts will be reused eventually. The 2008 traffic and revenue study said the southern portion of the road would need to be widened by one lane in each direction by 2018, but the timeline for construction remains fluid and will be determined by the results of the newest study. “The widening will be expensive, but it will be needed,” McCuskey said. However, users shouldn’t expect a sudden rise in tolling fees. The toll schedule will remain on a trajectory for annual increases totaling 25 cents every three years. The highway authority is planning to use existing funds for the widening.
Traffic volumes have grown by 12 percent in the past year on E-470, a toll way once referred to as “the road to nowhere.” Photo by Chris Michlewicz The revenue portion of the study will get E-470 into a position where it can start to “level off” the $1.8 billion worth of debt remaining from the original construction of
the tollway, McCuskey said. “We need to make sure that our revenue profile fits that increasing debt profile, which is why we’ve had increases,” he said.

Memory markers make for walk to remember Highlands Ranch senior living community hosts Alzheimer’s awareness event By Christy Steadman csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com One memory marker along the Walk to Remember path may ask a person what his favorite travel destination is and why. Another might be inquiring what a person’s dream job was when she was a child. The goal is to spark conversation and awareness of Alzheimer’s disease as people participate in the first Walk to Remember, a free event from 2-4 p.m. Sept. 14 at Vi at Highlands Ranch, a senior living community located at 2850 Classic Drive. The idea for the walk originated with a management development class, consisting of nine Vi employees. They dedicated their
yearlong program to creating awareness and support for the millions of Americans affected by Alzheimer’s. “As a senior living community, Alzheimer’s is something that affects our residents and their families,” a spokeswoman for the class said, “and most of the staff knows someone affected by it.” The Walk to Remember follows a gently sloping, paved path on landscaped grounds, part of the community’s 25 acres. The walk is estimated to take about 30 to 45 minutes. Attendees can walk at their leisure, as there is no start or stop time. Memory markers are there to engage walkers and encourage families and friends to stop along the way and have discussions, the spokeswoman said. People also may browse information booths, and there will be lawn games for adults and children, plus face painting and balloon animals. Snow cones and a barbecue-style meal will be served. Entertainment will feature
live music performed by Blue Stone Mojo, a blues/jazz/rock-and-roll band. Attendees must park at the St. Andrew United Methodist Church parking lot, 9203 S. University Blvd., as parking is not available at Vi. The church is providing free parking, and attendees may walk or take a free shuttle to the adjacent community. Attendees must R.S.V.P. by Sept. 7, either online or by calling 720-348-7840. Donations are encouraged and all proceeds will benefit the Colorado Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. The date was chosen because it is a couple weeks prior to the major, annual Alzheimer’s walk in Denver, the spokeswoman said. The 2014 Walk to End Alzheimer’s, a 5K that takes place at Denver City Park, happens Sept. 20. The Walk to Remember, the spokeswoman said, is to provide the “Highlands Ranch community with a fun, family-oriented walk that will encourage loved ones to make and share memories, while they learn about Alzheimer’s disease and raise funds to defeat it.”
WHAT IS ALZHEIMER’S? • Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually develop slowly and worsen over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks. • More than five million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s, and as many as an estimated 16 million will have the disease by 2050. • In 2014, 63,000 Coloradans are living with Alzheimer’s; the number reaches an estimated 92,000 by 2025. • Alzheimer’s is officially the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, and the fifth leading cause of death for those aged 65 and older. • 1,334 Coloradans died from Alzheimer’s in 2010, an 87 percent increase since 2000. • Alzheimer’s has no cure, but treatments for symptoms are available and research continues. A worldwide effort is underway to find better ways to treat the disease, delay its onset and prevent it from developing. Information provided by the Alzheimer’s Association
Douglas gets WISE about water future 2,775 acre-feet per year to flow into county By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County commissioners took an important step in helping secure the county’s water future at their regular meeting on Aug. 26. By joining in on the South Metro Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency (WISE) Authority’s agreement with Denver Water and Aurora Water, the county will be the recipient of 2,775 acre-feet of water per year for a 10year period, starting in 2016. On average, an acre-foot of water is enough to take care of the needs of about two to three families per year, according to multiple sources. The South Metro WISE Authority is made
up of 10 water providers that are all part of the larger South Metro Water Supply Authority. Nine of those water providers — Centennial, Cottonwood, Dominion, Inverness, Meridian, Parker, Pinery, Stonegate Village and Castle Rock — are located in Douglas County. The 10th, Rangeview Metropolitan District, is located in Aurora. “This region has been working hard for a very long time to bring renewable water supplies into the area,” SMWSA Executive Director Eric Hecox said. “We have a legacy of developing non-renewable groundwater and the effort for many years has been to transition our current population off of groundwater as well as to provide water for future economic development, and I think this project achieves that.” The WISE project began in 2008 as a way for members to identify processes, cost, distribution, timing, storage and legal issues relating to distributing treated reusable water return flows from Denver and Aurora for use by SMWSA water users.
The group tasked with utilizing this water is the South Metro WISE Authority. The primary purpose of the authority is to reduce members’ dependence on non-renewable Denver Basin wells and provide reliable longterm water supply for residents. “While we often refer to the Denver Basin aquifers in a negative way, they do provide an extremely important drought reserve,” Douglas County Water Resource Planner Tim Murrell said. “By reducing Denver Basin well pumping to a secondary source rather than a sole supply, the basin can continue to be a valuable asset in times of drought.” In 2013, Aurora, Denver and the South Metro WISE Authority finalized the water delivery agreement. As part of the deal, 100,000 acre-feet of water will go to the authority’s providers over a 10-year period. At the time of the agreement, the authority members were only able to agree on 7,225 acre-feet per year. This left 2,775 acre-feet per year that would be lost if not claimed. Douglas County has been working with the author-
ity members over the last year to reserve the 2,775 acre-feet per year supply for the county. The WISE members are funding new infrastructure that will move the water from Aurora’s Binney Water Purification Facility to its end locations, beginning in 2016. Water purchased by the county, as well as by some of the other providers, will be stored at the Rueter-Hess Reservoir south of Parker. The county will pay a $97,125 annual reservation fee through 2020; 2,000 acre-feet of water per year will be available for use and purchase by WISE members, and 775 acrefeet will be available for use and purchase by non-members. “The difficulty and the cost of renewable water projects is growing, and by being able to come together as communities to spread those cost over a larger population and leverage the strengths of different partners, we are able to make these projects successful,” Hecox said.

ViewHouse opens in Centennial Massive venue offers more than typical restaurant By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ coloradocommunitymedia.com The ViewHouse opened Aug. 29 in Centennial, leading into the public opening with an Aug. 28 sneak peek event that drew 800 people for an evening of complimentary drinks and food. The site was home for 30 years to the Trail Dust Steak House, which closed in 2009. Rhythms bar opened there in 2010, but closed after one year. The building was vacant until the ViewHouse’s owners bought it in 2013. No sign remains of the iconic red, barnlike structure that was the Trail Dust, though the ViewHouse used the rear portion of the original structure as part of its extensive remodel. The building that occupies the site now is sleek, with a dark roof and large glass panels that take advantage of the mountain vistas. The massive venue, which fronts Interstate 25 on Clinton Road, includes a
large, ground-level bar with a 200-inch television — reportedly the largest in a Colorado restaurant or bar. A separate dining area on the same level that is devoid of televisions is designed to provide a quieter atmosphere. Two private dining rooms are also available. The outdoor patio has an 8,000-square-foot courtyard with a net for volleyball or badminton and cornhole boards, cabana-style seating surrounding several water features, a stage and another bar.

Oldest residential area in Denver dates to 1870s
`Uncorked’ fall series opens
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Located just seven blocks from Denver’s 16th Street Mall, the historic Curtis Park neighborhood is Denver’s oldest. A Home and Community Tour on Sept. 1314 will offer visits to 15 of the more than 500 historically significant Curtis Park homes protected by Denver Landmark Preservation status and serve as a fundraiser for Curtis Park Neighbors Inc. When the railroad arrived in 1870, Denver’s population boomed and population increased 700 percent by 1880 — to 35,000. In 1871, the first horse-drawn streetcar system started at Seventh and Larimer streets, turned on Champa Street at 16th Street and went out Champa as far as 27th Street, then undeveloped. Soon there was a mix of mansions and more modest middle-class homes in a variety of architectural styles, including Queen Anne, Italianate and Second Empire. Residents included department store owner John Jay Joslin and Mayor Wolfe Londoner as well as clerks, bankers, teachers and blacksmiths. In subsequent years, the neighborhood became one of the city’s poorest, with most large homes carved up into small units and neglected until the area was rediscovered in the 1970s. This neighborhood now contains eight landmark districts and has many residences on the National Register of Historic Places. Among the landmarked homes is the Italianate cottage at 2826 Curtis St., known as the West Residence — probably designed by Orlando Scobey, listed as residing there in 1883-84. It shares another part of Denver’s history in that it housed two successive Japanese-American owners in the period after Pearl Harbor in 1941. Colorado Gov. Ralph Carr had expressed sympathy for these families displaced and ordered to relocation camps. Some moved to Denver hoping to be welcomed by local residents — which was not widely the case, at a time of widely spoken anti-Japanese rhetoric. Five Points was a home for others not welcome elsewhere in Denver. (The present owner has designed the garden except for a large blue spruce.)
The 16th Street Mall has long been a thorn in the side of Denver dwellers who don’t shop at souvenir stores, don’t care to inhale secondhand smoke and don’t want to sign petitions. But now the Downtown Denver Business Improvement District is installing Patio 16, an outdoor dining area in the median of the carless street between California and Stout streets. Patio 16 opened on Aug. 28 and will offer outdoor seating, enclosed patio railings, a variety of menu options from six local vendors and an outdoor respite for the downtown Denver community to gather, dine and unwind. Patio 16 provides a family-friendly area staffed during hours of operation to ensure a safe, clean and friendly experience, which is open to all residents, employees and visitors. For more information, visit www.downtowndenver.com/about-the-bid.
ABOVE: The Italianate West Residence at 2826 Curtis St. in the Curtis Park historic neighborhood is included in the Sept. 13 and 14 home tour. BELOW: The Queen Anne style Hayden-Pryor Residence at 2418 Champa is also included in the tour. Also open for the tour is the HaydenPryor residence at 2418 Champa St., an example of Queen Anne style, dated 1886. It is said to parallel Curtis Park history. It was built by Marks Amter, who borrowed $6,000 to build it and lost it to the bank in 1893, the year of the silver crash and ensuing depression, which affected the state. It was carved into nine units with only three bathrooms to serve many residents — perhaps as many as 27. It was also included in 1956 B-8 (business) zoning by the Denver City Council, when 88 neighboring homes were torn down. This one survived and is now protected by historic designation. Other residences will be open and visitors can get a sense of the area’s colorful history. Advance tickets are available through Historic Denver, historicdenver.org, and at the MatthewsGotthelf Mansion, 2601 Champa St., on Sept. 13 and 14.
IF YOU GO The 2014 Historic Curtis Park Home and Community Tour is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sept. 13 and 14. Tickets cost $15/$12 Historic Denver members, and are available at historicdenver.org and on tour days at tour headquarters: the Matthews-Gotthelf Mansion, 2601 Champa St. (Information provided by resident/tour chairs Gerald Horner and Linda Dowlen.)
Started as a monthly event in 2010, “Fridays Uncorked” has grown into a weekly wine and music series that continues yeararound at Bonacquisiti Wine Company at 4640 Pecos St. in the Sunnyside neighborhood. The fall series opens Sept. 4, and the Sept. 19 “Uncorked” event will feature the band My Old School — A Tribute to the Music of Steely Dan. My Old School is the culmination of the efforts of 12 professional Denver musicians who feel an affinity to Steely Dan and the music that Walter Becker and Donald Fagen created by applying jazz to pop music. In addition to the September music lineup, winemaker and namesake Paul Bonacquisiti will be featuring three new wine releases, including a bold spicy Petite Sirah, which last year sold out to wine club members upon release, as well as a Barbera and the [d] Red, a blend of 80 percent Merlot, 10 percent Syrah and 10 percent Zinfandel. The [d] Red is named after Delagua, the coal camp in southern Colorado where Bonacquisti’s father was born. The [d] Red and Barbera releases will be available by the bottle and on tap at the winery in one-liter refillable growlers. Each event runs from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Admission is free and wine is available to purchase, as is food from a food truck that changes each week. Seating is limited, so guests are encouraged to bring a chair. The live music line-up through September includes: • Sept. 4 - Knight Groove • Sept. 12 - Heavy, Timbo and Deb • Sept. 19 - My Old School • Sept. 26 - The Hip Replacements For more information, visit www.bonacquistiwine.com.

The kitchen at Saucy Noodle Ristorante at 727 S.

Erin Markham, the third generation of the Badis family who now operates the restaurant with her husband, Nathan, held a 50th birthday celebration on Aug. 29. The party included menu specials and special prices that evoked the early days of The Noodle: Large one-topping pizzas for $3.95 and spaghetti and meatballs for $4.95. Markham grew up at the restaurant, which her grandfather Sam bought in 1964 Parker continues on Page 18

Jazz orchestra gains new artistic director Lone Tree shows have grown in popularity By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra starts its third season with changes. Director Art Bouton, Lone Tree resident and professor of saxophone at the University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music, started the orchestra by calling on an ensemble of Colorado’s top jazz musicians to perform at the Lone Tree Arts Center. In season two, it built to sold-out audiences for the last two concerts. Bouton has formed Colorado Jazz Inc., a nonprofit corporation, to help bring the CJRO to national prominence and announced a new position of artistic director. He is “Grammy-nominated jazz artist and educator Steve Weist, a cutting-edge composer and trombonist” who has recently joined the Lamont School as associate professor of jazz studies and commercial music, Bouton announced. Bouton said Weist “has spent seven years directing what is arguably one of the finest bands in the world, the University of North Texas One O’ Clock Lab Band. I just had to have him out front.” The CJRO will start its new season on Oct. 10 with “A Night
in New Orleans,” featuring internationally known jazz trumpeter Byron Stripling. “Stripling is the artistic director of the Columbus Jazz Orchestra, leader of his own quartet and constantly in demand to play with pops orchestras around the world. An extroverted performer who brings the audience into his music, the happiness that he exudes through his trumpet, his vocals and his words is reminiscent of Louis Armstrong, yet very much his own,” Bouton said. He continued to say that Peter Olstad, the regular lead trumpet for CJRO, was not able to play in the October concert, and Weist said: “Let me call my buddy who plays lead for Count Basie. He’ll think this will be fun.” This is an example of the kind of change Weist can bring to the band. “Holidays With the CJRO” is scheduled on Dec. 7 when the band will perform big-band holiday favorites, including Duke Ellington’s “Nutcracker.” On Jan. 23, there will be a tribute to Woody Herman’s Thundering Herd, and on March 23, vocalist Kim Nazarian of the New York Voices will be featured. Bouton said, “This band has been a dream come true for me. To see the Arts Center packed for a tribute to Maynard Ferguson concert, with people (who brought their own trumpets) playing along to `Hey Jude,’ was just amazing.” Tickets are on sale for the new season at the Lone Tree Arts Center box office, 10075 Commons St. in Lone Tree, lonetreeartscenter.org.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF SEPT. 1, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Be careful not to allow the backers of a new financial “deal” to pull the wool over the Lamb’s eyes. It could hold fewer plusses and more negatives than you were first led to believe. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) It’s a good idea to finish all incomplete tasks so that you can devote your attention to next week’s projects. The weekend could hold surprises for romantic Fernandas and Ferdinands. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A workplace suggestion you made a while ago that you might have forgotten could come back with a request to turn it from idea to reality. Your social life picks up considerably this weekend.
crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope
GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Someone from the past could return with an intriguing opportunity for a future project. Check into it, by all means. But don’t neglect your current responsibilities in the meantime. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Keeping your claws sheathed and using good humor instead to counter someone who’s bad-mouthing the Big Cat isn’t easy. But it’s the best way to avoid more problems down the line. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A workplace situation could improve if you’re less critical and more supportive of those who are, after all, trying to do their best. Let them know you’re there to help when necessary. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A new job offer might not carry all the benefits you’re seeking. Make sure you know what you’re entitled to, what is off the table and what is negotiable before you make a decision. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A social obligation you would rather get out of could hold some surprisingly positive aspects. Why not go and see for yourself? A family member makes a curious request. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Before tackling that new project awaiting you at home or on the job, take time out for some much-deserved pampering to help lift your spirits and restore your energy levels. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Your social calendar begins to fill up more quickly than you expected. And that’s great. You deserve to enjoy some good fun after so much time spent on serious matters. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A domestic situation continues to improve, thanks to all the tender, loving concern you’ve shown. A colleague makes a questionable move that you might want to check out sooner rather than later. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A sudden turn in a romantic relationship calls for both a rational and passionate response. Keep the love level high, but also find out why the problem arose in the first place. BORN THIS WEEK: You often set high standards for others. But to your credit, you set the same expectations for yourself. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

PACE Center unveils new season National acts, local favorites on agenda By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com With the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center gearing up for another season, Elaine Mariner, Parker’s cultural director, said, “Our goal in booking this season was to bring at least one national act every month while also featuring our hometown favorites. In addition, we sought to create a mix of entertainment options — from country and classic rock to Celtic and symphonic, with plenty of theater and dance.” Inspire Creative, a Parker-based theater company, will co-produce the theatrical events. Tickets to most shows are on sale and a new Family Circle membership program is offered. While singer-songwriter Clint Black’s performance on Oct. 4 is said to be sold out, tickets to other performances are available online and through the box office. On Sept. 8, Dr. Kaboom’s one-man science show blends theater and exploration. Wonderbound ballet company will include Colorado Symphony Orchestra musicians in its program, “Enduring Grace,” on Oct. 18-19, and the Parker Symphony’s “Unseen World” concert on Oct. 24 will celebrate Halloween
with music about a demon witch and flying bats. Veteran entertainer Michael Martin Murphy will use period costumes and traditional songs and old-time dances to evoke the spirit of the 1934 Cowboy Christmas Ball on Nov. 28, followed by “A Classic Parker Holiday” with the Parker Chorale and Parker Symphony on Dec. 5-6. Inspire Creative will present Scrooge and “A Christmas Carol” on Dec. 1114, while “A Parker Nutcracker” will wrap up the holiday season Dec. 18-21. Rosanne Cash, daughter of Johnny Cash, will start off 2015 with a Jan. 9 show and soon after, families can travel to Oz as ”The Wizard of Oz” plays Jan. 23-Feb. 8. Dance prevails in February with Wonderbound’s “Marie,” about Marie Antoinette, on Feb. 14-15, and a performance of “Swan Lake” by the Russian National Ballet on Feb. 19. Singer-songwriter Marc Cohn appears March 14, followed by Rocky Mountain Brassworks on March 15. Based on the best-selling children’s book series by Annie Barrows, “Ivy + Bean, The Musical” is a story of unexpected second-grade friendship on April 23. Christopher O’Riley, crossover pianist, presents “Out of My Hands” on April 25. The season finale brings Celtic stars Natalie McMaster and Donnely Leahy with “Visions from Cape Breton and Beyond: a Celtic Family Celebration” on May 13.

Inez Badis’ recipe,” Markham said. “It’s been a menu staple throughout the decades, alongside the most popular dish, lasagna, as well as spaghetti and the restaurant’s baseball-sized homemade meatballs.” The menu also features one appetizer that might not catch a younger person’s eye: Morey Amsterdam’s fried ravioli. The dish is named after the late actor and comedian who is best remembered as part of the ensemble cast of the classic “The Dick Van Dyke Show” on television. “It’s called that because in the ‘60s he came in and asked if we had such a dish, and we didn’t so he helped himself to the kitchen and made it himself,” Markham said.

Mountain Vista boys win team title Girls fifth at Warrior cross country meet By Tom Munds
tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Mountain Vista boys cross country team overcame the unexpected challenges of high water and muddy slopes to take top team honors in the varsity division at the Aug. 29 Warrior Invitational cross country meet at deKoevend Park in Centennial. Tyler Matzke and Paxton Smith were the first two Golden Eagles across the finish line. Matzke finished sixth in a time of 16 minutes, 33 seconds and Smith was seventh in 16:53. They were followed by teammates Ryan Curr1e (21st), Trevor Spieker (29th), Michael O. Sullivan (49th), Addison Hellier (50th) and Brian Grover (73rd) to post a team score of 112 to win in a field of
about 350 runners from 62 schools. The Golden Eagle girls finished fifth in the team standings at the invitational, hosted by Arapahoe High School. Allison Chapman was the first Mountain Vista girl across the finish line as she finished fifth. Her teammate Courtney Goodrum, who finished 69th, said it was a challenging race. “The race was a lot of fun,” she said. “The water crossings were waist deep. They were fun but making the crossings sucked out all my energy. Overall, it was a wet, muddy, fun run.” She said she did her best but didn’t post her best time. However, she said the team did well because they worked together. Goodrum said cross country is her favorite sport. The senior said she ran track her first three years at Mountain Vista but was undecided about this spring because there are so many things on her senior year agenda. The heavy rains that drenched the area
created some unexpected challenges for the runners. Usually at the Warrior, runners have to jump over the small amount of water flowing at two points along the High Line Canal. However, the rains changed all that as the canal became a high, fast-running stream. One crossing was about thigh-high and the second crossing was up to the waist of many runners. Runners also had to use hand-holds and work their way up two or three slopes turned slippery and muddy by the rain. Despite the challenges, area teams did well. Other area teams competing in the boys varsity division included Thunder Ridge, seventh, Rock Canyon, 17th, Douglas County, 24th and Highlands Ranch placed 39th. In the girls varsity team standings, ThunderRidge finished eighth, Rock Canyon was 11th, Highlands Ranch was 22nd and Douglas County was 25th.

Jaguars catch Buffaloes in Webb Versatile senior leads Rock Canyon to season-opening, 44-0 rout of Smoky Hill By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Dexter Webb, better known at Rock Canyon High School as D.J., is an all-around football player. He does just about everything for the Jaguars. Rock Canyon opened the season with a 44-0 romp over Smoky Hill on Aug. 28 at Sports Authority Stadium in Parker, and Webb was the standout player. The 5-foot-10, 185-pound senior returned punts and kickoffs, played cornerback, caught passes and ran the football. Webb scored the Jaguars’ first three touchdowns, on a 64-yard punt return, a 22-yard pass from quarterback Ryan Hommel and a 53-yard punt return. He returned five punts for 160 yards, caught two passes for 31 yards, ran three times for 23 yards and returned a kickoff for 17 yards to account for 231 all-purpose yards. “We’ve got him playing corner and H-back so he’ll catch the ball, run the ball a little bit, so he’s kind of doing it all,” said Rock Canyon coach Brian Lamb. “I really don’t know what I am,” Webb said. “I just go out and do what I can do to help the team. Whereever they need me is where I play.” Webb got Rock Canyon rolling when he

going to tackle me and I switched directions, my team got the blocks and I took it to the house. “The kicker tried to tackle me. I just fought and fought and wanted to score the touchdown. I did not know he was the kicker at

Colorado’s top two Class 5A football teams, according to the CHSAANow.com preseason rankings, scored impressive victories in the first official week of the season. Top-ranked Valor Christian improved its record to 2-0 on Aug. 28 with a 21-12 win over No. 4 Pomona, which stretched the Eagles’ winning streak over Colorado teams to 25 games. Senior backup quarterback Parker Courier replaced injured Dylan McCaffrey and completed nine of 14 passes for 97 yards and a touchdown. McCaffrey suffered a possible concussion. The defending state champion Eagles opened the season with a zero week 61-20 romp over Bonneville, Idaho. Cherry Creek, ranked second, faces Pomona on Sept. 5 after opening its campaign with a 21-14 win over No. 7 Regis Jesuit. Lutheran, ranked No. 1 in Class 3A, journeyed to Houston and came home with a 56-55 overtime victory over Lutheran South Academy. Quarterback James Willis passed for 238 yards, receiver Joshua Clausen had 214 receiving yards and running back Jamil Bond rushed for 184 yards and three touchdowns for the Lions, which stopped a 2-point South Academy overtime conversion to seal the win. In other games, Mountain Vista rallied for 21 secondhalf points to earn a 21-6 season opening victory Aug. 28 over Mountain Range at Shea Stadium. Senior quarterback Brock Rubley connected on 14 of 21 passes for 176 yards and two touchdowns for the Golden Eagles. Senior Luke Nelson was in on 12 total tackles and recovered a fumble to spark the Vista defensive effort. Chaparral’s new head coach Rod Dobbs will have to wait until Sept. 4 to attempt to get his first victory when the Wolverines play Bear Creek. Grandview rushed for 279 yards and averaged 6.5 yards per carry in handing Chaparral a 46-l3 loss in the Aug. 28 season opener. Cherokee Trail whipped ThunderRidge 35-7 with the Grizzlies’ lone touchdown coming on a 39-yard pass from Tristan Eve to Alex O’Reilly in the Aug. 29 contest. Overland intercepted two passes for touchdowns in a 23-16 over Heritage. Pueblo Centennial collected a 39-28 win over Highlands Ranch Aug. 29 at Shea Stadium. Bear Creek edged Castle View, 26-20, on Aug. 29, and Arvada West toppled Douglas County, 32-19.

The BMW Championship is the third — and second to last — leg of the seasonending FedEx Cup playoffs. The top 70 players in the standings advance to Cherry Hills for the first Colorado PGA men’s event since the 2006 International at Castle Pines. The top 125 players in the FedEx standings, which didn’t include Tiger Woods, played Aug. 21-24 at The Barclays in Paramus, N.J. to kick off the playoffs. Hunter Mahan won the event, and in turn moved from 62nd to first in the standings, dropping
Rory McIlroy to second. Playoff contenders were trimmed to 100 for the Deutsche Bank Championship Aug. 29-Sept. 1 in Norton, Mass., and the top 70 will then come to Cherry Hills. Playoff points are added to those garnered during the regular season and points will determine the eventual champion following the Tour Championship Sept. 11-14 in Atlanta. Only the leading 30 players in points after Cherry Hills will play in Atlanta. In addition to Mahan and McIlroy, other
celebrated players in the top 100 prior to the Deutsche Bank Championship include Bubba Watson (fifth), 2010 FedEx champion Jim Furyk (sixth), Rickie Fowler (11th), Sergio Garcia (15th), Kent Denver graduate Kevin Stadler (34th), Ernie Els (39th) and Phil Mickelson (57th). The contenders who make the Cherry Hills field will compete on a 7,352-yard, par 70 course with 3-inch deep rough. “With the rain we’ve had, the rough has got some teeth,” Solich said.

19-yard TD run. The Jaguars finished with 205 yards total offense. Smoky Hill quarterback Avila Karson threw 34 passes but completed only 10 for 96 yards and was intercepted twice. The Buffaloes were held to 41 yards rushing. “We were able to get some pressure on him and made him throw the ball quicker than he probably wanted to,” said Lamb. “Our linebackers did a nice job of stepping up and filling on the run. Then when we brought pressure off the edge we were able to get there quick enough.” Rock Canyon’s defense was led by linebackers Tyler Linch, Sam White, Joey Rich-
mond and Peyten Gilmore, who also had a 2-yard touchdown run. Defensive lineman Justin Hunter was credited with a team-high nine total tackles. Sawyer Johnson and Vincent Gullia each intercepted a pass. Rock Canyon faces a tougher test Sept. 5 when the Jaguars journey to Castle Rock to play Douglas County. “We are a work in progress,” said Lamb. “We have to get better. We missed some assignments on the offensive line that we are going to watch film and correct. It was a good way to start the season and build from here.”
