40,000 bees removed from home 30 pounds of honey produced in three months at Highlands Ranch residence By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Front Range has healthy bees, said beekeeper Gregg McMahan. On Sept. 2, McMahan removed about 40,000 bees from a home in the 4300 block of Lyndenwood Point in Highlands Ranch. The bees most likely decided to make the Highlands Ranch residence their home about three months ago, McMahan said, because it typically takes them about three to four
months to establish a colony where they’ll survive the winter. “It was just a perfect little home for them,” McMahan said. “And they took advantage of it.” During their stay in Highlands Ranch, the bees produced around 30 pounds of honey, he said. It is not uncommon for people to discover that a colony of bees has taken up residence on a person’s property, but to avoid the problem, McMahan said to make sure the house is properly sealed and painted. He also said to be aware of any rotten trim board where bees may be able to gain access to a spot where they can colonize. At the Highlands Ranch residence, it took McMahan about four hours to complete the
removal process. He vacuumed them out alive, he said, and then removed the brood comb — the beeswax structure of cells where the queen bee lays eggs — and the honeycomb. The queen bee and the babies were also removed. McMahan said a few bees might have been missed during the removal, but the homeowner will not have any problems with the bees returning and rebuilding their colony. “It takes all the bees to establish a colony,” he said. Although they will not be released back into the wild, McMahan relocated the bees to a new beehive, a nursery of sorts, where he is trying to get them to reestablish, he said. “Then I’ll be taking them to let them do what they do naturally,” he said.

Opa! Prost! Cheers! European fest brings traditional food, dance, more to Highlands Ranch By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Vikings were a global force — they raided and traded everywhere. So it’s no surprise they made an appearance at the seventh annual Colorado European Festival, which took place Sept. 6 at Civic Green Park in Highlands Ranch. The Fjellborg Vikings, a living history group, were at the festival to teach people about the age of the Viking, which was 800-1000 A.D., said Fjellborg Vikings member Anya Bowman. Vikings affected all of Europe, she said, and the impact is far-reaching in history and culture. “We’re representing a time of turbulence,” Bowman said, “the early time when Christianity was coming to Europe. It’s a cool time period.” Along with the fighting demonstrations put on by the Fjellborg Vikings, attendees got to see performances from groups representing 11 different European cultures. Performances on the amphitheater stage at the park included musical concerts, cultural dances and a beauty contest. Several European-American communities were at the festival represent-
ing their homeland’s culture, including people from the following countries: Ireland, Scotland, Greece, Spain, Germany, Italy, Britain, France, Russia, Romania, the Ukraine, Sweden, Slovenia, Poland, among others. “We tried to involve all European cultures,” event organizer Lidia Wiggery said. “We just want to bring everyone together.” A main attraction of the festival was the European cuisine and beer garden. People were able to try traditional foods in the form of baked goods, meats and side dishes. “It’s so people can try something different and enjoy the atmosphere,” Wiggery said.
The public got an opportunity to sample European cuisine, including a European-style beer garden, at the seventh annual Colorado European Festival, which took place Sept. 6 at Civic Green Park in Highlands Ranch.

Gov. John Hickenlooper and former Congressman Bob Beauprez swapped barbs during a lively debate in Grand Junction on Aug. 6, marking the first time the two gubernatorial rivals squared off this fall. On almost every debate topic — ranging from hydraulic fracturing to the death penalty and the state of the economy — the two traded jabs over who would be the better man to lead the state over the next four years. The debate’s energy was aided by a lively audience that often interrupted the candidates with cheers and boos. That was especially the case toward the end of the debate, when Hickenlooper and Beauprez were given the opportunity to ask each othBeauprez er a series of direct questions. Beauprez used his first question to attack the governor over his evolving position on the death penalty, focusing on the governor’s decision last year to grant a temporary reprieve to Nathan Dunlap, the death row inmate who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Hickenlooper Cheese’s restaurant in 1993. “Yes or no, will you assure the people here tonight … that you will not grant clemency to Nathan Dunlap?” Beauprez asked. Hickenlooper — who once supported the death penalty, but who recently said he no longer does — said he has “no plans to revisit my decision and my decision stands.” “Government shouldn’t be in the business of taking people’s lives,” Hickenlooper said. Meanwhile, Hickenlooper turned the tables on Beauprez on another issue that the former congressman has used to criticize the governor — fracking. Hickenlooper touted his work on reaching a compromise on local control issues surrounding oil and gas drilling. The compromise kept anti-fracking measures from appearing on the November ballot — a result Beauprez had also wanted. “You said you wanted the ballot measures Debate continues on Page 6

Families, friends walk to share stories, support Fifth annual event unites 1,500 in suicide prevention By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com
T
ony and Valerie Marietta, who lost their daughter to suicide, almost didn’t come to the Sept. 6 South Metro Out of the Darkness Walk. “We weren’t emotionally sure we could do it,” said Tony Marietta, carrying a large, full-color poster displaying four photographs of his late daughter with the quote, `Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness to pull another hand into the light.’ “But we just decided it was something we should do.” The Mariettas were living in Monument in March 2012 when Sarah, 22, jumped off the Royal Gorge bridge. A high school and college athlete, as well as a ballet dancer, she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 19. “She had the most severe form of bipolar disorder,” Tony Marietta said. “But she had just a very good personality. She was funny, too. We were real hopeful everything was going well … when we got the phone call.” The Mariettas, dedicated not just to suicide prevention but bipolar awareness,
were among several groups of people at Highlands Ranch High School carrying signs with photographs of loved ones’ faces or wearing matching T-shirts bearing the name or photograph of a family member or friend lost to suicide. More than 1,500 people walked in the annual event, among hundreds of walks nationwide organized by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The Highlands Ranch event raised more than $90,000 that will be used for suicide awareness and prevention. “I felt like I need to be an advocate,” said Littleton resident Rhonda Watson, who lost her 50-year-old sister Cherianne Matzenbacher of Roxborough to suicide four months ago. “If it wasn’t for the support group I was going to, I felt like I could be in the same situation she was.” Watson wore a T-shirt that depicted a smiling blonde woman wearing an orange boa. “She was my best friend,” Watson said. “But we couldn’t save her. “We need to be more open and talk about (suicide).” Cathy Kennedy, whose friends and family wore orange T-shirts bearing a photographed head shot of her 16-yearold son Cory, moved back to the Denver area from New York after he died from suicide in July 2012. “He’s missed dearly,” said Cathy Kennedy, whose 2014 walk was her fourth
Dozens of butterflies are released into the air above Highlands Ranch High School during the annual ceremony that signals the start of the South Metro Out of the Darkness Walk. See additional photos on Page 3. Photos by Jane Reuter since his death. “We’re out here to represent, to get people to talk about these things.” Though the morning event started under gray skies and with cool temperatures, the sun broke through at about 10:45 a.m. near the end of opening ceremonies. Volunteers released several dozen butterflies into the air, which soared above the hundreds of walkers as they left the parking lot and began the
3-mile walk. The annual event, now in its fifth year, initially was organized by Sheri Cole, who lost her son David to suicide in 2009. Cole now is the AFSP’s Rocky Mountain area director. This year’s South Metro Walk chair is Laurie Freeman, who lost both her teenaged son and her husband to suicide. The week of Sept. 8-12 is National Suicide Prevention Week.

Another Arapahoe security guard speaks out Erbacher-Kolk says she’s on leave; sheriff says investigation complete By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com A second security guard who was working at Arapahoe High School on Dec. 13 of last year, the day student Karl Pierson killed himself and Claire Davis, says she has been placed on leave, and the news has caused many on social media to wonder what is going on behind the scenes. “I wanted everyone to know that I truly love all the students and staff at Arapahoe,” writes Christina Erbacher-Kolk in a Facebook post dated Sept. 2. “I have now been put on leave for breaking a protocol? Yet they can’t tell me what protocol I violated. The treatment seems similar to a colleague of mine Cameron Rust back in January, who criticized (Littleton Public Schools) administration for the way it handled the shooting incident.” Rust did not return to the school despite protests from the students. Erbacher-Kolk spoke on his behalf in February, telling the LPS board of education that bringing him back would bring some closure. “I cannot tell you how much he means to those kids,” she said. “Where do these kids turn to when they need that person to heal?” Now, many are coming to her defense on Facebook. “Christina you are by far my favorite staff member of LPS,” writes one student. “You were there for me for both school and personal life questions. You have given me some amazing advice when I was dealing with tough situations. I always looked forward to talking to you during my second hour off. I look up to both you and Cameron for speaking up about the incident at the risk of your employment. There (are) not many people who are willing to speak up for their beliefs.” Others are expressing distrust of the administration in light of the fact that nine months after the incident, neither the district nor the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office have released any findings. On Sept. 5, Sheriff David Walcher said in an email that the investigation is complete and “we are working on finalizing a release of information.” “I have felt all along that the administration is doing everything they can to eliminate

The Facebook post
the truth about the events,” wrote Vicki Hoffman, who said she is the mother of a former AHS student. “I am sorry to hear of what has now happened to you, albeit not surprised. Unfortunately so many parents want to believe that everything is being handled that they don’t like the criticism that some of us have voiced our concerns about. The bullying by others (has) forced them to be silenced.” Erbacher-Kolk herself makes some serious allegations in her post. “We told the administration that a student was looking up guns on the computer after he had been the subject of a threat assessment about threatening a staff member’s life,” she wrote. “We were told that there was nothing they could do, but to watch this individual. Administration stated, `We all know that this student will go off the deep end. It just will not happen at Arapahoe.’ ” She claims security cameras and locks on doors weren’t working properly at the school before the murder and still aren’t, and that behavior issues aren’t being accurately characterized or properly documented. On Sept. 8, a Littleton Public Schools spokeswoman said the district would likely have a response within “the next day or so.”
Christina Erbacher-Kolk’s unedited post: I am a security guard at Arapahoe High School, and was working there when a student went on a deadly shooting spree on December 13, 2013. I’m not known for speaking in the public or being the center of attention. I am well known by the staff and student body and for the most part liked by many of them. As far as the parents go a lot of you know me as the friendly face that greets you in the morning as you drop off your kids. I have worked at Arapahoe High School for the Last 7 years. I have had zero complaints on how I do my job in fact I have had nothing but excellent reviews. I wanted everyone to know that I truly love all the Students and Staff at Arapahoe. I have now been put on leave for breaking a protocol? Yet they can’t tell me what protocol I violated. The treatment seems similar to a colleague of mine Cameron Rust back in January, who criticized LPS Administration for the way
it handled the shooting incident. Approximately two weeks ago a trusted colleague came up to me and asked how I was doing. This individual stated “sometimes you need to ask yourself can you find peace and live with the way things were handled and the way they continue to be handled?” I have thought long and hard about this question and the answer is NO I can’t because of the way LPS Administration treated and continues to treat those that risked their lives to keep students and staff safe. We were told that the Administration doesn’t want us here and that we would be relocated because of concerns that we brought up to them prior to the shooting? For the safety of the students, we related the following to LPS Administration before December 13, 2013: We questioned why a student who admitted to selling knives was allowed back Arapahoe continues on Page 5

Feds join hunt in gamer hoax Littleton police got call claiming active shooter By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The “swatting” incident that made news across the nation on Aug. 27 is now getting some very high-level attention. “We are assisting the Littleton Police Department and working with the U.S. Secret Service on this case,” confirmed Dave Joly, spokesperson for the Denver office of the FBI. “The federal jurisdiction, if necessary, would come into play if the case crosses state or international lines beyond the borders of the USA.” What started with a 911 call to LPD claiming there was an active shooter in a local office building ended with police saying it was an apparent hoax. “The caller claimed to have shot two co-

into the school. I was told to stand with my back against the wall if I felt unsafe. We told the administration that a student was looking up guns on the computer after he had been the subject of a threat assessment about threatening a staff member’s life. We were told that there was nothing they could do, but to watch this individual. Administration stated “we all know that this student will go off the deep end. It just will not happen at Arapahoe.” Brought up on several occasions that cameras were not working properly Requested further training for the kind of danger the student presented. Brought up that doors that needed to be locked didn’t lock, were not shut all the way or were repeatedly propped open What has happened after the shooting December 13, 2013:
workers, held others hostage and threatened to shoot them,” according to an LPD statement released later that day. “He stated that if the officers entered, he would shoot them as well.” Chaos ensued throughout the southmetro area, as schools went on lockdown and police sirens blared all the way to the location at 1221 W. Mineral Ave. What they found when they got there was gamer Jordan Matthewson, known online as “Kootra,” playing a live-streamed game called “Counter Strike: Global Offensive” on the website Twitch. The office is his, where he operates a video-game company called The Creatures LLC. Matthewson was thrown to the ground and searched, as the camera continued to roll until an officer turned it face down. “There were no victims or any evidence that a shooting had taken place,” according to the LPD statement. They think it was a case of “swatting,” wherein Matthewson’s online opponent
made the 911 call hoping for the exact result he or she got. While Matthewson was being searched, he got kicked off the game due to inactivity, and his opponent won. The video of the incident went viral with more than 3 million views on YouTube, and it made news all over the world. No arrests have been made, but LPD Cmdr. Trent Cooper says the department is continuing its investigation. He adds that if it turns out to be a hoax, the perpetrators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. “Basically, it appears that this `swatting’ prank is not all that uncommon, particularly within this gaming community,” he said. “The problem is that the caller is typically somewhat adept at hiding their identity and location using a variety of proxy servers, spoof sites, public wi-fi networks, and stolen identities, and that can make it difficult if not impossible to locate and/or identify them.” With Arapahoe High School finding it-
self again on lock-in status, along with every school in the district, thoughts of last year’s tragedy were foremost in the minds of many. “Law enforcement in the south-metro area and throughout the country are all too familiar with active-shooter situations,” reads the LPD statement. “In the wake of these incidents, Littleton Police and other law-enforcement agencies train for rapid response to quickly rescue victims and neutralize the situation. Fortunately there were no injuries today, but a massive lawenforcement response wastes resources and greatly increases the chances of innocent people being injured or killed.” Schools had resumed normal operations by lunchtime. “The incident had nothing to do with our students and staff and occurred outside of school property,” said a statement from Littleton Public Schools. “Students were not in danger.”
I filed a complaint with HR and School Board I have been shunned, singled out, isolated, excluded, yelled at, had some security information withheld so I could not properly do my job, and nit- picked, where others are not. I have been asked by LPS Administration several times to deny what Cameron Rust said in his statement and it was because I would NOT deny what he said that that’s why I was treated differently. I agreed with Cameron’s statements and could not honestly deny what he had reported. I have been subjected to offensive, intimidating work environment I have been asked to sit in the same location that Claire was shot The doors still do not latch properly The cameras still are not functioning properly Behavior issues with students are not properly worded or accurately documented I have been placed on leave for protocol violation. I have not been told what those
protocols are, and was not told what protocol I violated. My disagreement with the way Security is currently organized is not properly acknowledged. Questions that go through my head, among others: Why would someone have an escape plan for a low level threat? Why did SRO not know why we were in lockdown? Why was the library walked past after we radioed the shooter was in library? Why was another threat assessment NOT done after campus supervisors pointed out student was looking up guns? Why are the very first responders being treated so poorly and getting put on leave when it has been told to us we have done nothing wrong? In closing, I want to say to the Students and Teachers at Arapahoe you are the true heroes. I am sorry that no one has come out publicly to say that! Students, you all amaze me! You had to grew up very quickly that day, but you kept your classmates safe
and calm, some of you standing by doors in case danger came in, others thinking of classmates who would not be able to hear anything, grabbing them and getting out of the school. Teachers you remained calm and kept your students quiet and calm in the worst of situations. Some may criticize the way that I’m going about this, but I have tried the proper channels. The administration has restricted necessary documentation and training, and has retaliated against myself and at least one other for bringing problems like these into view. I hope this statement will serve to make schools safer. As of right now the school is operating short of campus supervisors because I am now forced to take leave. It doesn’t make sense. I know the students and have proven my commitment to them. There is so much that is happening behind the scenes and being left out of the public’s eye for a reason that is unclear to us as a community.

Senate candidates go head-to-head By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Although President Barack Obama isn’t on the November ballot this year, he was very much a part of a U.S. Senate race debate that was held in Grand Junction on Sept. 6. The president’s name dominated much of the fall’s first debate between Democratic Sen. Mark Udall and Congressman Cory Gardner, his Republican opponent in a race of pivotal political importance nationally. Gardner spent the early part of the debate hammering away at Udall for a voting record that is closely linked to the agenda of the Obama administration, which has long been mired in low approval ratings. Those attacks included Udall’s support for the Affordable Care Act, Obama’s signature piece of legislation and a law that Gardner focused on much of the debate. “Barack Obama and Mark Udall have put tremendous stress on our country,” Gardner said. But Udall defended his support of Obamacare and said that putting millions more people on health insurance rolls and doing away with insurance companies’ restrictions on pre-existing conditions has been a good thing for the country. The senator also said Obamacare is better than the Republican alternative. “We had a system of health care in this country that discriminated against women and your party has refused to take action,” Udall said. While Gardner tried to tie Obama to Udall throughout the debate, Udall responded toward the end of the debate with an assault on Gardner’s record on women’s issues - something the Udall campaign has been doing since the start of the campaign. Udall blasted Gardner over a congressional record that the senator said has fallen
short on issues of importance to women. Udall highlighted Gardner’s previous votes to de-fund Planned Parenthood and Gardner’s prior support for the so-called “personhood” amendment, which would have resulted in an essential ban on abortion. “Why are you getting in between women and their doctors?” Udall said. Gardner responded by pivoting to the economy and its impact on women. He also took issue with Udall’s advertising onslaught against Gardner’s record on women’s issues. “Millions of dollars of his message have simply and only been about social issues,” Gardner said. The two are locked in a tight race that could have an impact on the balance of power in the Senate. Democrats currently hold an edge, but that can change if Republicans flip a handful of seats this fall, including Udall’s. The two candidates also sparred on other issues, including energy development, social security and gridlock in Washington D.C. Interestingly, the two candidates were not asked about immigration reform — an issue that continues to go nowhere in Congress. Neither Gardner nor Udall asked each other about immigration when they were given the opportunity to ask their own questions toward the end of the debate. Mostly, the debate featured two Washington officials attacking each other’s records. After Gardner attacked Udall on issues that included water rights and homeland security, Udall mocked the congressman’s constant assault on his record. “I’m curious what problem facing our nation I haven’t caused,” Udall said to cheers from his supporters. Gardner’s base reacted similarly to the congressman’s response. “Me too.”

off the ballot and I did that, so can I count on your vote?” Hickenlooper said. Beauprez offered an icy response. “I think you know the answer to that,” he said. Hickenlooper is pro-fracking, but has also guided tough regulations on the oil and gas industry that aim to limit potential environmental and health impacts of drilling. Beauprez said those regulations are only hurting an industry that pumps millions of dollars into the state. “Other states are more open for business for energy development and that’s where the
jobs are going,” Beauprez said. The two candidates also shared sharp exchanges on economic issues. Hickenlooper highlighted an economy that has improved under his watch, one that has resulted in 33 months of consecutive job growth and an unemployment rate that continues to drop. But Beauprez said that the economy would be in a lot better shape if the government simply stayed out of the way of business. Beauprez said state regulations are largely responsible for that. Beauprez also blasted federal regulations and the Affordable Care Act. That led to criticism from Hickenlooper for focusing on issues that are handled at the congressional level. “Maybe you should be running for Congress if you want to go back and tackle the federal issues,” Hickenlooper said.
Hickenlooper way ahead in donations By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper has raised more than four times as much money as former Congressman Bob Beauprez in the two rivals’ gubernatorial campaign dash for cash. Hickenlooper has raised $4 million to Beauprez’s haul of about $828,000, according to the latest financial disclosures. Hickenlooper’s cash advantage was helped by the $545,791 that was donated to his campaign during the reporting period of July 27 through Aug. 27 — the incumbent governor’s largest single-month haul. Beauprez raised $223,510 during the recent reporting period. Hickenlooper campaign spokesman Eddie Stern attributes the success to the improving economy under the governor’s watch. “We are humbled by the amount of support we’ve received from people across Colorado,” said Stern.
Beauprez campaign spokesman Allen Fuller isn’t impressed with Hickenlooper’s cash haul. “Every day it seems like there’s another example of why John Hickenlooper isn’t fit to lead Colorado,” Fuller said. “He’s going to need every dime he can get.” The Beauprez campaign has hammered Hickenlooper on areas of “failed leadership,” which they hope will resonate with voters, including making attacks on Hickenlooper’s evolving position on the death penalty. Rather than punching back, the Hickenlooper campaign continues to run positive ads. The governor’s healthy cash haul has allowed his campaign to purchase $1.7 million in all-positive television advertising for September and October. The Beauprez campaign is being helped by $1.8 million in advertising spending from the Republican Governors Association. After spending is factored in, the Hickenlooper campaign has $760,427 cash on hand to Beauprez’s $334,365.

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lone Tree restaurateurs Lucinda and Jimmy Crane just celebrated eight months of owning their own business. “Some things were meant to be, and this is one of them,” Lucinda Crane said of the family-run Cranelli’s Italian Restaurant on Park Meadows Drive. She credits the successful launch of the business not just to the couple’s restaurant and business backgrounds, but also to the South Metro Denver Small Business Development Center. Advisers there helped the couple prepare their business plan for an ultimately successful loan application to the Colorado Enterprise Fund. The center intends to write similar success stories in its new City of Lone Tree satellite office, located in the same office that houses the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce. The suite is in the Lone Tree City Administration building at 9220 Kimmer Drive. The SBDC, housed at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce offices in Centennial since 2003, now has moved its main office to the City of Aurora Municipal Center at 15151 E. Alameda Parkway. Aurora previously served as its satellite office. At its new satellite Lone Tree office, consulting will be available by appointment only. The SBDC helps existing and new businesses in Arapahoe, Douglas and south Jefferson counties grow by offering quality, free, one-on-one consulting and free or low-cost workshops. “We are thrilled to have the city of Aurora as our new host center,” said Marcia McGilley, executive director of the South Metro Denver and Aurora SBDCs. “The City of Lone Tree is centrally located and has easy access off of I-25 and C-470 for our south metro area clients. We look forward to building strong relationships with our new hosts and their communities, and we appreciate their desire to work so closely with the SBDC.” Lone Tree Chamber staff members, who will share space with the SBDC, see the
‘Douglas County is the fastest-growing county in Colorado, and one of the fastest-growing areas in the country.’ Donna Russell, Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce spokeswoman joint location as mutually beneficial. “We are very excited about having the Small Business Development Center satellite office in the City of Lone Tree,” said chamber spokeswoman Donna Russell. “Douglas County is the fastest-growing county in Colorado, and one of the fastest-growing areas in the country. I like to say that Lone Tree is the economic hub of Douglas County, and we are certainly centrally located within the south Denver economic corridor. “The Lone Tree satellite office gives the SBDC a central location in which to assist the new and rapidly growing small business community which is so vital to our economy. This location adds value for our Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce members, as well, so we are very pleased.” Those who haven’t started their business or have been in operation less than a year are urged to take two to four start-up SBDC classes. The classes are offered free at Douglas County Libraries. One-on-one consulting also is available. The South Metro Denver SBDC is one of 14 centers in the Colorado network. In 2013, more than 2,000 clients received one-on-one consulting and training through the South Metro Denver SBDC, with 56 new businesses launched and more than 365 jobs created or retained.

Metro-area population likely went past mark in mid-August Staff report The population of the Denver metro area was expected to exceed 3 million last month, according to state estimates. The Colorado Department of Local Affairs uses the month of July to forecast population numbers annually. The department estimated that the Denver metro area’s population on July 1 would have been 2,994,534 and would have passed the 3 million mark in August. Elizabeth Garner, a state demographer, said the average monthly increase in population in the Denver metro area is 3,551, meaning its population reached 3 million in mid-August.
Garner said the growing population can be attributed to a healthy economy in the Denver area. “There is a high correlation between job growth and population change,” she said. “We’re toward the top in the U.S. in terms of recovery and growing jobs.” Garner said population numbers in Larimer and Weld counties are growing at an even faster rate than the Denver metro area, thanks to high job growth in the oil and gas industry there. But other parts of the state, such as the Western Slope and parts of the southeast, are losing residents. Garner said that can be attributed to jobs leaving those parts of the state and not coming back. “If you don’t have a job, it’s hard to stay,” she said.

Get success down to a tee Whenever we give someone a task or project to complete and we don’t provide them with the right tools, support, environment or expectations, it can be said that we are setting that person or that team up for failure. This happens in the business world just as much as it happens in our personal lives, doesn’t it? We see it happen when we make rash decisions, hire staff without providing the proper onboarding or training, and when we set unrealistic goals. As a matter of fact, setting people up for failure has become so commonplace that we now look at it frivolously or use the failure as the brunt of our jokes and usually at the expense of at least one person or team. Maybe failure has become easier than success. I mean, it’s easy to look into the future and predict what we will never achieve or cannot do as opposed to being forwardthinking and looking at what we can accomplish. And not only what we can accomplish but what our new hires, teammates, friends, and co-workers can achieve. And I think that setting the stage for success can be just as easily done as it is to set someone up for failure, and save us tons of time, money and resources. Have you ever heard it said, “Teed up for success?” The ball is sitting on the tee, no wind, wide open fairway, and it is just so simple to imagine a smooth effortless swing that sends the golf ball soaring beautifully straight down the middle of the fairway. But you see,
the ball landing safely in the middle of the fairway is the result of hard work, practice, coaching and commitment. And whether we are talking about the professional golfer or the weekend amateur, when we think about being “teed up for success” we have to remember what that actually means and the hard work and dedication it took to get there. Imagine just the opposite, we invite a friend or associate to a round of golf, they share with us they have never played before or it has actually been years since they have even swung a golf club. But since we really want to play and we need someone to round out our foursome we tell them not to worry, all will be well and we will just have fun. And then what do we do, we tell our friend, and maybe now former friend, that we are teeing off from the back tees, we have them using rented or borrowed clubs, and we forgot to tell them to bring enough golf balls. Fast-forward to the sixth hole and our once-a-summer golfing friend is completely frustrated and maybe even embarrassed, he
Words turn to mush when dog gets me going Smitty is on his dog bed next to me, sleeping. He is sleeping and making little woofs. I don’t know — I wish I did — what he is dreaming about. He might be dreaming about Miss October (Dachshund Edition) or the rabbit in the front yard who always gets away from him. Smitty wags his tail in his sleep. I suppress the word “cute,” but it’s cute. I admit it: Smitty softens my edges. Sometimes when I read the newspaper, I touch Smitty with my left hand. I guess I am hoping that his good energy will cancel some of the bad energy that comes out of the daily news. Smitty is my shadow. He follows me everywhere I go, but he pouts when I paint, and goes to the couch. This is starting to sound a little buttery. That’s what our pets do to us. I think it is very clear by now that he is glued to me and I am glued to him. Smitty was my father’s nickname and it was mine, when I was in high school. No one calls me Smitty anymore. Thankfully.
I try to write a column about him every six weeks. I feel better when I am writing about him. It seems like the rest of the time I am a humbug about something. My own constant drone of negative reporting gets to me. Unfortunately, I am good at it — making comments about disturbing human behavior. Like the maltreatment of women and children. And animals. “CEO loses job after kicking puppy.” Marshall continues on Page 9
or she is dreading the back nine, our other golfing buddies are tired of playing a slow round, looking for golf balls after every shot, patience is wearing thin, and now they too are dreading the back nine. Everyone was set up for failure. The very same thing happens in sales, in management, in the chores we give our children, in the homework that is assigned, and in new tasks and projects in companies and organizations all over the world each and every day. And it is so easy to point the finger of “I told you so” instead of taking the time necessary to equip everyone with the proper tools and support, guidance and coaching, and appropriate setting of expectations to set the stage for success instead of failure. Setting good goals, setting stretch goals, keeping them realistic, and taking the time to help others get teed up for success may seem like it could be time-consuming, but I can promise you that it takes far less time and energy when we compare it to the costs of setting people up to fail. Are you teed up for success? Have you set the stage for others to succeed? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when the stage for success has been set, it will be a better than good week.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Think light rail instead of toll lanes I would like to respond to the Christy Steadman article, “CDOT hears public comment on C-470 project,” which was published Aug. 28. Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas county residents approved the building of E-470 back in 1989, with a $10 per vehicle tax. And I bet 90 percent of these people don’t even use E-470. One week before the election, it was rumored that E-470 would be a toll road. I told myself that this was Colorado and we don’t have toll roads here and that would not happen. Well I was wrong! Don’t try to make C-470 between Wadsworth and I-25 have toll lanes. Instead, use that money to build light rail. If you build light rail, they will come! Also, make sure the light rail line can handle doubledecker rail cars. Think to the future. This way C-470 light rail users can connect to the I-25/I-225/DIA light rail and not have to go downtown via light rail to get to DIA. Ronald Nigh Highlands Ranch

State shows the way on infrastructure Colorado’s economy relies on its workers’ ability to safely get to their jobs and send their kids to school. It needs businesses to have the ability to efficiently ship their products to market. It requires safe and sanitary water and sewer systems, as well as energy grids that can handle increasing demands. Across the state, our communities are finding ways to build innovative infrastructure to ensure we remain competitive. We had the opportunity to learn more about several of these projects on our “Infrastructure Colorado: Planes, Trains, Automobiles and More” tour last month. The tour highlighted many of our state’s infrastructure projects that are helping drive our economy forward. We spoke with leaders in local communities about their current needs and the types of investments it will take to build better roads, railways, dams, utility grids, and airports for the next generation. We kicked off our tour with a mobile town hall on RTD’s recently completed West Line to Golden, where we met with transit, civic and business leaders. They
emphasized the vital link between these types of transit projects and robust economic development in the region. We also joined Denver Mayor Michael Hancock for a glimpse of the development plans for Denver International Airport and had the chance to see the amazing work CDOT is doing on the Twin Tunnels expansion. In Fort Collins, we rode the newly completed MAX Rapid Transit bus that’s connecting commuters to Midtown, Colorado State University and Old Town, and we met with community leaders in Loveland to discuss the importance of long-term transportation planning and investment in Northern Colorado.
These types of innovative projects aren’t limited to the Front Range. In the Roaring Fork Valley we met with folks on the VelociRFTA Bus Rapid Transit system — the first rural bus rapid transit system in the nation. We talked with Union Pacific engineers on our coal train ride from Dotsero to Glenwood Springs about their vision for future growth and toured the Red Cliff water treatment plant. In Pueblo, we had the opportunity to visit Transportation Technology Center Inc. — a world-class research facility that’s developing cutting-edge safety technology for the nation’s railroad industry. At each of these stops, local leaders made it clear that there is a critical need for funding certainty from the federal government. Congress’ failure to pass long-term highway, transit and other infrastructure bills leaves local communities guessing about what kind of support and resources — if any — will be available as they work to maintain and upgrade roads, water and sewer systems, and transit stations. Coloradans continue to find collab-
orative ways to finance forward-looking infrastructure projects across the state, all while Washington continues to kick the can down the road. In typical fashion, Congress has managed to “keep the lights on” for another couple of months by passing a short-term extension for the Highway Trust Fund, which was just days away from insolvency. The extension is set to expire in May, putting us right back in the same predicament early next year and leaving state and local transportation departments unable to plan. Despite Colorado’s successes, without a predictable infrastructure plan from Congress we won’t be able to continue to build, or even maintain, the infrastructure we need to be safe and to compete in today’s economy. Congressional failure to act threatens our economy, our competitiveness and our safety. Washington should follow Colorado’s example and find collaborative, long-term solutions for our infrastructure needs. Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

I bought Badger when she was six weeks old. She weighed about as much as a russet potato. Smitty was 5 when I adopted him, and he already had a suspended personality. I know that if Smitty — and Jennifer — weren’t in my life that I wouldn’t be worth reading. I would be dark and cranky all of the time. I get more emails after I write about Smitty than about anything else. No one ever says that I am too obsessed. But I know.

Schools take closer look at turnover District disputes state’s figures, says best teachers are staying By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School District says the Colorado Department of Education’s statistics don’t accurately reflect local teacher turnover. Among the differences: The state measures a different time period than the district, includes charter school teachers and doesn’t account for in-district employee promotions or transfers, temporary employees or retirees. Those factors add up to a difference of almost 200 teachers, with CDE showing teacher turnover of 555 during the last year compared to DCSD’s tally of 362, according to a Sept. 2 report presented to the school board by its human resources staff. In 2013-14, the school district’s figures show 13.1 percent of licensed staff left the district. CDE recorded the district’s teacher turnover at 17.3 percent. State figures for 2013-14 showed DCSD teacher turnover up 4 percent from 201213. The most recent CDE statistics placed the district’s teacher turnover higher than those of most surrounding and similar districts, close to the state’s average of 16.6 percent. School board president Kevin Larsen criticized the CDE’s method of assessing turnover. “It’s not helpful when the state department that’s in charge of measuring these things chooses to do something that’s easy, but completely irrelevant,” he said. Board member Craig Richardson suggested alerting the CDE about their
concerns, saying it’s tough to do “an apples-to-apples comparison” with other districts. “Our usual antagonists will say there are other districts that have the same phenomena and therefore it washes out, but we just don’t know that … if we’re the exception in terms of rate of turnover, or we’re not,” he said. “No one’s in a position other than the department to get the detail from the districts. I think we should have a conversation with our friends on the board to see if they could ask some questions as to why this can’t be better.” CDE staff said Denver Public Schools also has expressed concerns. “Additional clarification has been requested for the report, which is planned to be added later this month,” according to an emailed response from CDE spokeswoman Megan McDermott. “Additional clarification includes how the turnover rate is calculated as well as (that) the headcounts used are as of Dec. 1 of the school year.” The Douglas County district’s staff numbers are taken on July 31 of each year — when a full school year has concluded — and the state’s on Dec. 1 — in the middle of an academic year. But the state’s data-gathering process is not new. “The human resources data collection has been collected as of Dec. 1 since 1999,” McDermott wrote. “The turnover rate report has been created with the same method since 2000.” Cherry Creek School District, whose state-recorded 2013-14 teacher turnover is 11.67 percent, doesn’t have concerns about the figures, but said it can be difficult to pinpoint the causes of turnover. “We don’t calculate the data any differently than the CDE, and we have no rea-
son to question the accuracy of the state’s findings,” Cherry Creek spokeswoman Tustin Amole wrote in an email. “I think what is hard to get at is the reasons for teacher turnover. Teachers leave to take other jobs, they leave teaching altogether, they move out of the area. You also have retirements, non-renewals and promotions. We don’t track any of that. “If, however, we saw a trend of higher than average turnover, we would try to dig into the numbers to see why.” Jeffco Public Schools said the staff member most qualified to answer questions about CDE data-gathering was not available for comment.
Diving into the numbers
Departing and some current DCSD teachers and some community members have said the board’s reform-driven policy changes are driving teachers out of the district. The district introduced a revamped pay-for-performance and market-based pay plans for its teachers in 2012. It rates teachers on a scale ranging from “highly effective” to “ineffective,” correlating pay with the rating and the degree of difficulty in filling their respective teaching positions. But human resources staff members said their statistics show the best teachers are staying. Most of the district’s turnover is among teachers rated “partially effective” or “ineffective,” human resources staffers told the school board. Among those rated “highly effective,” 94 percent are still with the district, as are about 90 percent of those rated “effective.” “When you look at the overall numbers and you see a 6 percent turnover for highly effective and 9 percent for effective, (it shows) we are attracting and retaining

the right people,” DCSD’s chief human resources officer Brian Cesare said. “But we’re not resting on our laurels. We’re saying, even though the system is working, how can we get better?” Of the licensed staff who left, DCSD concluded 70 percent left for reasons beyond the district’s control, among them career changes, family circumstances, geographic relocations or retirement. Of the remaining 30 percent, categorized as leaving for “controllable” reasons, most said they left to work for another school district. HR staff said it would like to take a “deeper dive” into those numbers. “Folks are always going to be moving around in their careers,” said Becky Hall, a manager in the district’s human resources department. “But the controllable items, those are the ones where we feel we can improve. Out of these numbers, the largest majority went to work for another district. “We’ve recently just re-established our termination reason codes. So that will give us a better picture of why people are leaving to work for another district, of where we need to put our efforts.” Staff also said they could learn more during exit interviews. “We can specifically follow up on that population, even do personal phone calls to get some feedback and make adjustments,” Cesare said. Richardson, the school board member, suggested that work be targeted. “The effort we’re talking about is really focused on those highly effectives and effectives, in terms of understanding the reason for the change,” he said. “I’m not suggesting we go to that same level of effort for everyone who leaves.”
SCFD doles out tax money for arts, culture By Sonya Ellingboe

A more natural approach to new urbanism.
It’s so refreshing to be connected to Denver, but have your own urban oasis outside of the chaos. This is the mixed-use sustainable community of RidgeGate. Light rail for an easy commute. Bikeable and walkable paths. Oh yeah, and 1,000 acres of preserved natural open space for your backyard. Come check out the homes. The shops. And the wildlife. Just south of Lincoln Avenue in Lone Tree.
In 1988, Denver metro-area residents voted to create the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District. The SCFD has, between 1989 and 2013, distributed more than $804 million to more than 300 creative organizations via the 0.1 percent (1 cent on every $10) retail sales tax in the sevencounty district — and generated national recognition. The included counties are: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas (except for Castle Rock and Larkspur, which opted out) and Jefferson. Funds are to be used for “production, presentation or preservation of art, music, theater, dance, zoology, botany, natural history or cultural history.” (Voters will be asked to renew the tax district in 2018.) Eligible organizations are divided into three tiers: Tier I includes the biggest organizations: Denver Art Museum, Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Denver Museum of Nature & Science and Denver Zoological Gardens. They receive 65.5 percent of SCFD funds each year. The next group of 28 Tier II organizations, recently named by the overall SCFD Board of Directors, must have an annual operating income of at least $1,514, 482 for the prior year. Five south area locations are included: Hudson Gardens and Event Center, Lone Tree Arts Center, Parker Cultural Department, Swallow Hill Music Association (building in Denver, parking across the street in Englewood), and The Wildlife Experience. Each of the 28 will share in 21 percent of annual SCFD funds. (Ninety-five percent of this amount may be used for general operations and 5 percent is designated for programs or projects that address regional impact, quality, need, accessibility, collaboration, innovation or enhancement, according to an SCFD news release.) Distributions will be announced after the first of 2015. Tier III organizations, which have lower operating budgets, will be named next. They number about 300 and include such organizations as Town Hall Arts Center; Littleton Symphony; Arapahoe Philharmonic; Lone Tree Symphony; Wonderbound Ballet Company, which appears at Lone Tree and Parker this season; Young Voices of Colorado; South Suburban Parks and Recreation; Englewood Recreation Department’s Summer Musical program; Parker Symphony; Voices West; and many more. Names of qualifying groups will be announced soon for the next distribution. Each organization has submitted detailed budgetary and operating information to its county cultural council. Area representatives on the SCFD board include chairman Dan Hopkins of Arapahoe County and Kathryn Spuhler, who was a 10-year member of Douglas County’s Cultural Council and assisted in developing the county’s cultural plan. More information, including how to qualify, is available by contacting scfd@scfd.org.

More water could be on way to county $15 million project would require voter approval By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com A proposed $15 million unnamed project could bring another sustainable water source to three northwestern Douglas County subdivisions and an industrial park. In 2012, work started on the project that includes the subdivisions of Plum Valley Heights, Chatfield East, Chatfield Acres and the Titan Road Industrial Park. Together, these four areas combine to produce the equivalent of 251 single-family water taps. Currently these communities are reliant on individual wells for clean water, a hit-and-miss proposition complicated by the constant need to upgrade wells and combat droughts. Some residents at an
Aug. 26 Douglas County commissioners meeting talked about having to ship in water from other places. The project participants would receive treated water service from Roxborough Water. The water will be supplied by Aurora Water and served through Roxborough. An intergovernmental agreement between the two to supply 150 acre-feet of water a year for the project has been reached. The agreement has been signed by Roxborough and is currently moving through the Aurora City Council process. The estimated cost of the project is $15 million. The cost estimated to be paid by customers includes a tap fee of approximately $22,200 per tap, a $100 flat fee on the customer’s monthly water bill and a 50mill property tax increase. One mill is the equivalent to $1 per $1,000 of assessed value per home. “In comparison, if a project participant were to re-drill their domestic well, it would cost somewhere between $30,000 to 40,000, with little knowledge if the well
would last two or 20 years,” said Douglas County water resources planner Tim Murrell. “While expensive, never again will it be any cheaper than it is today.” Murrell points to reasonable water supply costs and the willingness of Roxborough Water to reduce its customer fees. In order to reduce tap fees from what would normally be $55,000 to $22,000 per tap, financing assistance from Douglas County would be necessary. Of the total $15 million cost for the project, $4.8 million will be Douglas County’s share. The county is expected to receive all but the project design and engineering costs back through tap fees collected by Roxborough. Assuming the project moves forward, Roxborough Water will require participants to connect to the system and pay their tap fees within three years of its completion. On Nov. 4, Roxborough Water will conduct a vote from those living within the project boundaries to approve the needed
tax increases, rates and fees and tap fee amounts. Larry Moore, the manager of Roxborough Water and Sanitation District, said he and Murrell have already visited with residents to answer questions about the project. “We had a tremendous turnout, about 150 people,” Moore said. “At the end, we asked for a straw vote, kind of `How do you guys feel about it? Do you want us to continue on?’ and more than 90 percent raised their hands and said they liked what we were doing.” Moore said these kinds of joint water efforts will become more prevalent as governments try to offset the cost of providing renewable water and look to secure the water future of their communities. “We’re treading on new territory here,” Moore said. “We hope that rather than somebody being resentful or jealous it will give them hope to know that these projects can be duplicated. Their community might be next.”
Dementia seminar coming to Lone Tree Free event at arts center to feature prominent panel By Jane Reuter jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Dementia is a condition that eventually touches everyone in some way. “Fifty percent of those over 85 will develop some form of dementia,” said David Geras, CEO of Denver’s GoldLeaf Care Givers. “Unless we find a cure, the other half of us will be caregivers.” The impact of the disease is the focus of the free “Understanding Dementia” seminar set for 8 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. Sept. 27 at the Lone Tree Arts Center. Designed for all ages, the morning session will offer insight on dementia and all its forms, as well as recent medical breakthroughs and research into Alzheimer’s disease.
MorningStar Senior Living, the company currently building senior living centers in Lone Tree, Parker and Castle Rock, will provide breakfast for the event, coordinated by the Living and Aging Well in Lone Tree committee. Speakers include Dr. Huntington Potter of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Center and Natalie Grace of Lakewood-based Azura Memory Care. Geras will introduce the speakers. “Alzheimer’s is becoming a pandemic in this country and the world,” he said. “It’s the only cause of death in the top 10 Potter (causes) that is not treatable, reversible, curable or preventable. You can take care of heart disease or diabetes, but Alzheimer’s? There’s no cure.”
Dementia is a general term for loss of memory and other mental abilities severe enough to interfere with daily life. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s is the most common type of dementia, accounting for an estimated 60 to 80 percent of all cases. Geras not only works with seniors but has family members impacted by Alzheimer’s and dementia. “The reason it’s becoming more prevalent in our society is because we’re living a lot longer,” he said. “Also, our lifestyle and environment is probably not causing it directly, but leads to faster, quicker onset of the disease.” One of the speakers, Potter, has discovered a genetic link between Alzheimer’s and Down syndrome. He’s also studying the potential medical applications of a protein released in those with rheumatoid arthritis; sufferers of that form of arthritis don’t develop Alzheimer’s.
“If he’s successful, there will be a version of Leukine on the market to treat Alzheimer’s; it’ll be the first drug ever to improve symptoms of Alzheimer’s,” Geras said. About 90 people already have reserved seats for the seminar, which can accommodate about 175. Given the broad impact of dementia, the Living and Aging Well committee expects a full house for the free event. “Dementia affects all kinds of people,” said committee member Sharon Van Ramshorst. “It’s something that really disrupts families, and is very difficult to understand and deal with.” The committee, formed in early 2012, coordinates monthly speakers and lunches at the Lone Tree Golf Club. An estimated 25 percent of Lone Tree’s population will be 55 and older by 2017. To RSVP for the seminar, call 303-2254930.

More legal pot needed, state regulators say High prices create opening for black-market sales By Katie Kuntz
Rocky Mountain PBS I-News After seven months of recreational marijuana sales in Colorado, the newest goal of state regulators is to increase the amount of marijuana produced and sold by legal retailers. “Right now we are pretty significantly under what should be produced,” said Ron Kammerzell, deputy senior director of enforcement for the state Department of Revenue. “What that does is raises the prices, and if the price is too high, then we can’t compete with the black market, and that was our ultimate goal with Amendment 64 — we wanted to eliminate the black market,” Kammerzell said. But new data comparing demand for marijuana in Colorado with legal supply suggests that criminal enterprises could continue to flourish. A report commissioned by the Marijuana Enforcement Division earlier this year indicated that Colorado residents and visitors will consume an estimated 130.3 metric tons of marijuana in 2014, but only about 77 metric tons will come from legal medical or recreational outlets. The rest, about 53.3 metric tons of cannabis, or nearly 40 percent of the total marijuana demanded, is expected to be produced by unregulated sources. Those sources include “gray market” producers, including home-growers who can legally grow up to six pot plants for personal consumption, or black-market producers, including gangs, who operate outside of the Colorado legal system. The state’s solution, then, is to increase the amount that is produced legally. “Basically, the state is trying to ensure that the amount that is being grown in Colorado equals what the demand is,” said Mike Elliot, the executive director of the Marijuana Industry Group, a trade association representing the interests of the Colorado marijuana industry. “If there is too much, then people want to take it out of state or sell to kids (minors), and if there is too little, then the black market will fill in the gaps.”
Legal weed runs short Right now, the state is facing a shortage of legal marijuana. For state regulators, this creates a problem, as reducing the black market was not only a priority of Amendment 64, but it is also a federal priority. U.S. Deputy Attorney General James Cole issued a memorandum a year ago that listed selling to minors, exporting marijuana out of state, and enriching the black market as offenses to be avoided in order to keep the Justice Department on the sidelines in states where pot is legal. While the state, the federal government and legal marijuana businesses all hope to undercut the black market, their ideas about how to do so vary dramatically. As the state looks toward altering production controls, marijuana retailers say supply isn’t the issue. The real problem is price. “After the cost of producing each pound, I still have to pay a 15 percent
excise tax, licensing fees, huge rent because landlords overcharge marijuana dispensaries, and when I pay federal income tax I can’t deduct like a regular business,” said Brian Ruden, owner of Starbud, Altermeds and Tree of Wellness medical and recreational outlets in Denver, Louisville and Colorado Springs. “It ends up that I am selling an eighth (of an ounce) for $60 when the street price is about $25.” On average, state, local and federal sales taxes on recreational marijuana are just over 21 percent, while the taxes on medical marijuana are about 7.6 percent. Even though the federal government still categorizes marijuana as a dangerous drug, it collects tax revenue on its legal sale in Colorado and Washington. And the black market benefits from the high taxes, too — as their products can be sold for much less. “I have had locals come in here without their med cards, and ask what our recreational prices are and just turn around and leave,” said Nelson Figueiredo, a “budtender” at Medicine Man dispensary in Denver. “They have friends who can sell them pot for much cheaper.”
Tax boosts black market One of the demand study’s authors, research analyst Adam Orens, agreed that the price and tax structure could contribute to the continued black market, but the focus now is to re-evaluate the production management system. “We don’t have it right yet,” Orens said. “But one thing that came through during the study was that the Marijuana Enforcement Division did not want to restrict the market, but was very thoughtful in trying to make sure they have a functioning system.” The current production controls are monitored using a plant count, where different stores are issued licenses that allow the production of up to 3,600, 6,000 or 10,200 plants, depending on the stores’ license designation. This differs from the approach taken by the state of Washington, which monitors marijuana production by square foot of growing space, but which has much less data available, as retail sale of marijuana has only been legal there for just more than a month.
As the Colorado industry continues to grow, regulators hope to allow steady growth of the legal market. “We really want to do this in a very predictable and controlled way,” Kammerzell said. “I think what we are seeing is that the biggest driver right now is supply, and that is what we intend to address.” Kammerzell explained that the Marijuana Enforcement Division does not control tax structure. Changes there would have to be considered by the Colorado General Assembly. “It’s going to be a dynamic work in progress,” Kammerzell said. “Whatever comes from this work group won’t mean our work is done. It will keep changing over time and we will make adjustments.” The first scheduled work-group meeting to discuss a new production control proposal was held in mid-August.

Dialing up the time with sunshine Local Girl Scouts install human sun clock at Summit View Elementary Special to Colorado Community Media Good ideas sometimes take time. Sometimes they tell it too. One of those ideas — that began years ago — was completed Aug. 20 at Summit View Elementary School in Highlands Ranch. Girl Scouts and their families worked from 9 a.m. until the sun was setting measuring, digging, and moving engraved rocks into place to give the school its own human sun clock. A human sun clock is a sundial that uses a human shadow to tell time. There is a large engraved centerpiece where the person stands, and 28 smaller numeral pieces, that are placed to tell the time, both in daylight savings time and in normal Mountain Standard Time. Principal Sheri Coll said she had wished for an outdoor STEM lab at the school since she came to Summit View, and two of the school’s Girl Scout troops
made it a reality. “We were saving our cookie money for a legacy project, so that we could make a lasting contribution to the school,” said Girl Scout Kendall Seader of Troop 917. There is a flagstone bench, with instructions on how to use the clock, a large 800-pound stone with months engraved to stand on, and roman numerals to tell the time. The stones, engraved by Mile High Memorials in Littleton, are expected to last more than 20 years. Employees at Mile High Memorials worked with the scouts for months perfecting the design and even donating time to install the bench and centerpiece. Fifth-grade Troop 917 donated four years of cookie sales, toward engraving the stones. Second-grade Troop 755 donated all of their proceeds from their first year as a troop as the project came to fruition. In total the troops spent $3,500 toward the project, with a Girl Scout family donating the remaining $1,700 to finish the project. The human sun clock joins an archeological dig box, donated by Spencer Pozder as part of his Eagle Scout project.
From left, Jenny Vail, Kendall Seader and Emily Fenstermacher from Girl Scout Troop 917 pose around the bench they helped place Aug. 20 at Summit View Elementary School in Highlands Ranch. The bench accompanies a human sun clock. Courtesy photo The box has several layers for students to learn about fossil depth and age correlation. The sixth-grade students hope to round out the STEM lab with a wind turbine. They are working on obtaining a grant.
The clock is already being used in STEM classes at Summit View Elementary as children learn Roman numerals, Colorado wildlife and plants, and about earth rotation and the path of the sun. — Kathy Seader
Winterizing gives gardens a boost Simple steps smooth way for next year’s harvest By Heather Ridge
Special to Colorado Community Media When seed catalogs come out in the early spring, eager gardeners can be spotted trudging through the snow to plan out where they’ll plant their zucchini and zinnias. And after a long, hot August of weeding and watering, many gardeners pick their final harvest and let the cooling temperatures and first blanket of frost lull their garden to sleep for the season. Here in Colorado, however, putting a garden to bed properly for the winter can be just as important as waking it up in the spring. A few simple steps taken this autumn can lead to an easier, more bountiful harvest next year.

Use mulch Many people think mulch is only for perennial beds and under trees, but a heavy layer of leaves or grass clippings on top of your composted beds will hold in moisture, keep temperature more constant and prevent weed seeds from taking hold in your vegetable garden as well. Rather than bagging them, spread fallen leaves thickly onto your beds and let them sit through the winter. They will not break down much but will be easy to rake back in a thick layer and compost in the spring, exposing warmer and more nutrient-rich soil for planting in March. Not only will this method protect your garden soil, it will save your back from all the bagging and raking and give you time to sit back and enjoy your bountiful back yard.

High-flying dogs were everywhere one looked at the annual Doggie Splash Sept. 7. The event, sponsored by the Highlands Ranch Community Association, took place at the outdoor pool at the Westridge Recreation Center.
At least 100 Highlands Ranch dogs made a splash at the outdoor pool at the Westridge Recreation Center Sept. 7 for the annual Doggie Splash. No humans were allowed in the water as the dogs took over on the final day the pool was open for the season. However, dog owners enjoyed playing with their four-legged friends, and were able to visit dog-related exhibits and merchandise vendors.

It sounded like a match made in Republican heaven when Monica Owens, daughter of former Gov. Bill Owens and ex-wife Frances, and John Beauprez, professional poker player and marketing specialist and son of governor wannabe Bob Beauprez and wife Claudia, got engaged on the Fourth of July. And if the upcoming gubernatorial election goes their way, Monica could have the distinction of being the daughter and daughter-in-law of two Colorado governors. The cute couple celebrated their engagement among friends and family on Aug. 30. On her Facebook page, Monica said that as of Aug. 28, the wedding was exactly six months away. Monica, a Republican pundit and owner of Owens Public Affairs, and John, who’s all over social media for his poker prowess, found each other when John’s mom, Claudia, strategically seated the young’uns next to each other at a black-tie dinner. And just in case you want to give the betrothed a wedding gift, they are registered at www.registry.theknot.com/monica-owensjohn-beauprez-february-2015/9018648.

Kevin Taylor comes to Aurora Highlands Ranch residents and their dogs enjoyed one last splash for the dog days of summer during the annual Doggie Splash Sept. 7. The event also featured concessions, exhibit booths, pet adoptions, dog supplies and other canine services available for human attendees of the event.
Denver’s Kevin Taylor Restaurant Group, helmed by renowned chef Kevin Taylor, will open a new restaurant and beer hall in the recently announced development Stanley Marketplace at 2501 Dallas St. in Aurora, just a few feet from the southern border of Stapleton. Unlike Taylor’s other Denver restaurants, which include Palettes at the Denver Art Museum, Kevin Taylor’s at the Opera House and Limelight Supper Club & Lounge, this restaurant and beer hall will exist in a casual industrial atmosphere, highlighting the architecture of the former Stanley Aviation Building, where airplane ejector seats were manufactured for roughly 50 years. The menu will offer items made with locally sourced produce, as well as craft beer and local wines and spirits. “I’m excited to move forward with our next venture in a different way,” said Taylor. “Approachable restaurants are the future, and I believe we can provide the level of cuisine for which we’re known, but in a way that is appealing to everyone, and fits within Stanley, and the surrounding community, perfectly.”

CELEBRATING HISTORY Highlands Ranch’s heritage and history were experienced during this year’s Highlands Ranch Days, which took place Sept. 4-6 at the Highlands Ranch Mansion. Attendees enjoyed historical reenactments, Native American dancers, a talk by Buffalo Bill, a glimpse inside history trunks provided by the Highlands Ranch Historical Society, a tepee from the 1800s, and a chance to try gold panning and black-smithing. Highlights of the event were the mansion tours and hayrides. People lined up, and had to wait their turn, to take part in these popular attractions.

City art theme tied to stage show Town Hall exhibit has urban look By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Town Hall Arts Center’s exhibit coordinator, Nancy Boyson, is trying to plan exhibits for the Littleton venue’s Stanton Gallery that relate to what’s playing upstairs in
the theater. In this case, the musical is “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” and she thought a city/ architectural theme would work. Painters Elayne Moseley, Alan Zeigel and Sue Fraley open a show called “The Art of Cityscapes” on Sept. 11, running through Nov. 5 at 2450 W. Main St. in Littleton. Moseley exhibits work from her “Architectural Lingua” series, including the view of Denver’s Golden Triangle, painted en plein air while seated outside. She works in oil paint with traditional brushes on stretched canvas. She thinks “one’s artwork must reflect that journey that the artist takes and express it in such a way that the viewer feels the artist’s passion.” She teaches drawing at the Art Students League of Denver and works in her home studio as well as outdoors. Alan Zeigel was trained in watercolor while a student in architecture at CU/Boulder. He lived in France and traveled in Europe, Asia and South America. He was a founder of OZ Architecture with Tom Obermeier, then returned to watercolor, studying at the Art Students League of Denver. He is a Signature member of the Colorado Watercolor Society and exhibits at Bell Gallery. Sue Fraley said her interest in painting urban scenes began after a visit to Zihuatanejo, a small fishing village on the west coast of Mexico, with luminous white and pastel buildings. When she got home, she painted a number of works from her photographs. She then began to explore Denver’s architecture. She works in oil and paints outdoors on many days. For 25 years, she worked as an architectural drafter and bases most of her paintings on street scenes in downtown Denver. She is a member of the Art Students League of Denver and participates in the annual Summer Art Market there.

Littleton bear artist heads for top show Hugglets festival in London isn’t kid stuff By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Early on the morning of Sept. 14, a line will form outside the Kensington Town Hall on Hornton Street in London (by Kensington Gardens). These individuals hope to be among the first to enter the Hugglets Teddy Bear Festival — three floors of booths in four halls — featuring 170 teddy bear artists and vendors of related items. The choice bears sell fast. The organizers promise that there will be over 10,000 teddy bears available to collectors. The bears are not kids’ toys — they are pricey collector treasures, beloved worldwide. Among the exhibitors from Britain and around the world will be bear artist Michelle Lamb of Littleton, who will bring the newest creations from her business, One and Only Bears. She will exhibit about 15-20 one-of-a-kind meticulously detailed bears (large and miniature), rabbits and a squirrel. Some wear beautifully made costumes and all have carefully sculpted mouths, eyes, ears and noses that give them a distinct personality. She speaks of her art as “soft sculpture.” Included: a red, white and blue drummer named Britain and a tall pink mohair rabbit — reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland’s perpetually late friend. The latter has a starched collar and leans against a small trellis with flowers. Dark gray mohair “Argenta” has a greenish cast and sports a green ruff and skirt, plus a hat of felt flowers. “Arabella,” dressed in elaborate frock and hat, was displeasing her maker when we visited: The eyes didn’t “look right.” Eyes were also an issue with a tiny white “Troubadour” bear, but we are certain proper adjustments were made before their travels began. Lamb departed a week early for a special teddy bear tea at a shop in Aberdeen, Scotland, called Silly Bear. (“Winnie-the-
A gathering of bears, large and small, each with different custom details, are included in Michelle Lamb’s Hugglets display. Pooh” fans will recall Christopher Robin’s affectionate “silly old bear” expression.) Lamb had previously shipped 10 bears for this collectors’ event. While at Hugglets, Lamb will teach a class in needle sculpting and shaping a bear’s head and mouth — her specialty. Participants will bring a pre-cut and filled bear head with them. Sometimes when she teaches, she supplies patterns for her students. And she will work with two students from abroad after she returns to Denver, she said. She hopes all her bears will sell early — although they will remain on display through the day. Then she can shop. She buys her special mohair at these shows — much of it comes from Germany, the home of the famous Steiff teddy bears. She also prowls resale stores continually for old mohair coats, but not so many are available any more. She may also locate odd jewelry, buttons, bits of ribbons, lace and fabric that go into her collection of treasures — slated to reappear

later on new bears. (A visit to her studio summons up an image of an old curiosity cabinet.) Lamb said she was working in design and was laid off when her first baby was born. She started crafts and made “craft-quality bears” and other items. In 2000, One and Only Bears came to life as she learned what was involved in making an “artist-quality” bear. Her website speaks of her involvement in this highly specialized universe: “The ability to create beauty from such disparate parts as fabric, hardware, glass and fluffy filler remains a constant wonder to me and my goal is for this same wonder to come across in the faces of my teddy bears. They are individually designed to have their own unique personality and I spend as much time as necessary to needle and sculpt a face until its `soul’ comes out and speaks to me …” She finishes one to two bears a week, which makes it hard to keep up with demand.

Spray tanning using an airbrush is one way to keep that bronze look during the colder months. ShutterStock image
Products offer tan skin without risky UV rays By Melanie Fischer
Special to Colorado Community Media As summer ends and autumn begins, temperatures throughout Colorado begin to fall, and soon long-sleeve shirts, pants, sweaters and jackets become everyone’s clothing items of choice. As a result, the tan you worked so hard to achieve during the warm summer months will be virtually invisible because it will be hidden under layers of clothing. Knowing this, is it really worthwhile to maintain your tan during Colorado’s cold months? Nobody’s going to see it anyway, right? It’s almost impossible to naturally sustain tan skin during the fall, winter and spring in Colorado. The weather is simply too cold to lie outside on a beach chair in a bathing suit, slathered in tanning oil, from September through May. But despite the fact that outdoor tanning is not an option in Colorado for many months out of the year, people often opt for other tanning methods so they can maintain their golden-toned skin year round. However, it’s important to keep in mind that some types of tanning mechanisms are much safer than others. Earlier this year, the federal Food and Drug Administration issued a final order that reclassified sunlamp products (which include tanning beds) as “moderate-risk” devices. Also, the FDA is now requiring that a highly visible warning label be placed on all sunlamp products.
The warning label will specifically state that nobody under the age of 18 should use any type of sunlamp due to the risk to the user’s health. With their new FDA classification, it’s highly possible that the popularity of tanning beds will drop significantly for people of all ages. So what are your other choices? If achieving tan skin is a top priority for you, even when the weather is cold, your goal is entirely possible. And you can even attain golden-toned skin while avoiding potentially harmful tanning salons, sunlamps, and other damaging ultraviolet radiation exposure. Here are three of the most popular sunless tanning methods that don’t involve exposure to dangerous radiation: The first option is spray tanning. It’s possible to spray-tan your entire body to achieve any level of golden-toned skin that you desire (from light to dark). You can apply a spray tan yourself, or you can opt for a professional application. Another option is tanning towels. Many beauty brands manufacture these products. The towels are pre-soaked with a sunless tanning product that can be easily applied to your face, legs, or entire body. Finally, there is sunless tanning lotion. This product is easy to use. Simply purchase a bottle (which is relatively inexpensive), and rub it into your skin. Most brands of sunless tanning lotion begin tanning your skin on contact. You can use as little or as much as you want, depending on the skin tone you desire. If you want to keep your skin tan, look into these methods to achieve your goal safely. You can have skin that is tan-looking all year round without the risk involved with UV exposure.

Line play propels Valor to victory Eagles roll past team from Salt Lake City By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com In football, there’s a phrase that goes like this: “It’s what’s up front that counts.” Valor Christian coach Rod Sherman acknowledged that he agrees with that statement after the Eagles, top-ranked in the Class 5A CHSAANow.com poll, defeated East High School from Salt Lake City, 3114, Sept. 5 at Valor. The win improved the record for the five-time Colorado state champions to 3-0 and it was the Eagles’ play in the offensive and defensive trenches that made a big difference in the victory. “It was easy to watch the game and not realize how good East was up front,” Sherman said. “They were very physical both offensively and defensively. Their fullbacks and linebackers were tough kids. I’m really proud of how we battled on both sides at the line of scrimmage.” East ran seven more plays than Valor in the game but the Leopards were held to 226 total yards compared to 291 for the Eagles. “We held them to 3.6 yards per rush and that was pretty good against that team,” said Sherman. “They ran the ball 47 times. I thought our defensive line took doubles so our linebackers Whatmore (Nate) and Kortz (Gabe) were able to scrape downhill and make some pretty strong plays.” Whatmore, a 6-foot, 210-pound senior linebacker/fullback, led the team with 12 total tackles and was involved in two sacks. He also ran four times for 36 yards and caught a pass for 26 yards. “At the end of the day it’s not who gets the tackles or who was on the sacks, it’s how we get the job done,” Whatmore said. Valor’s senior backup quarterback Parker Courier, who played for starter Dylan McCaffrey who suffered a concussion in the Eagles’ second game against Pomona, completed 11 of 22 passes for two touchdowns. He was intercepted once. Sid Turnbull and Stone Watson caught the TD passes and Tanner Tadra paced the Eagles rushing attack with 66 yards. Valor averaged 5.7 yards per play during the game compared to 3.9 for the Leopards.
Valor Christian’s Sid Turnbull leaps high in the end zone to snag a touchdown over an East High defender on Sept. 5 in Highlands Ranch. Turnbull led all Valor receivers with 61 yards in the Eagles’ 31-14 victory over the Salt Lake City high school. Photo by Paul DiSalvo “Offensively, I have to give all the credit to our offensive line,” said Whatmore. “East had a big defensive line and for them to step up and drive, it makes all those runs and plays possible.” Valor entertains Chandler (Ariz.) Sept. 12 in its final non-league game before opening Centennial League play Sept. 26 against Overland.
“You saw that we haven’t played our best football,” said Sherman. “There are a lot of opportunities for us to improve. But, it is sure great to win while you are learning and growing. I’m just excited to keep coming to practice and to refine and grow. The whole season is a journey. “We’ve seen a good rate of improvement. We’re going to have to get a lot better
to play against Chandler. They are No. 1 or 2 in Arizona. We are going to have to be better. We turned the ball over tonight (twice). We had costly penalties (five). We’re going to have to clean all those things up.” McCaffrey spent the East game helping signal plays into Courier. “I expect (McCaffrey) to play against Chandler,” Sherman said.
Golden Eagles clipped in close matches Mountain Vista falls 3-2 in first two volleyball contests of season, responds with 3-0 win By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Close counts when pitching horseshoes but first-year Mountain Vista volleyball coach Mary Millman knows that a close setback only counts in the loss column. Mountain Vista dropped its second consecutive five-set match when Ponderosa notched a 3-2 win over the Golden Eagles in a Sept. 3 Continental League tilt in the Ponderosa gym. The Golden Eagles lost, 3-2, to Cherry Creek in their season opener Aug. 26. “We lost to two top-ranked teams in the state so I’m confident in what we have and what we are doing,” said Millman. “We are doing some good things. It’s a whole new squad and I’m a new coach so it’s kind of the growing pains that we are going through right now. “I’m excited, but obviously not happy with the outcomes. But I am happy with how we’ve played, our effort and our fight.” Ponderosa was the state’s third-ranked Class 4A team according to the CHSAANow.com poll and Creek was fourth in the Class 5A rankings, when the Golden Eagles matched up with the two programs. After losing the first set against Ponder-
Mountain Vista’s Keely Ruby waits for a serve against Ponderosa on Sept. 3. The Golden Eagles fell 3-2 in Ponderosa’s gym. Photo by Jim Benton osa, the Golden Eagles won the next two but then lost 25-11 in the fourth set and 15-7 in the deciding fifth set. “We definitely didn’t carry the momentum with us through any set that we played,” admitted Millman. “We were able to pick it up pretty late, 15, 16 points, but
in the fifth you can’t start then. You have to start at 0-0.” Senior outside hitter Ellise Lech and junior outside hitter Allison Smith sparked the Mustangs in the fourth and fifth sets. Lech had 17 kills in the match, a 45.9 kill percentage, .324 hitting percentage, two
aces and five blocks. Smith finished with 21 kills, a .314 hitting percentage, 41.2 kill percentage, 17 digs and three aces. “It was our first match and was probably what I thought would happen,” said Ponderosa coach Rob Graham. “I saw Mountain Vista play at Cherry Creek. They are a tough team, very physical and they have some great outside hitters. I knew we would come out with great energy because our girls hadn’t played a match. “The energy was there but eventually we kind of came back down. Mountain Vista made fewer mistakes and we made more mistakes in games two and three. Even though we pulled out one of those games, there were too many errors. In game four and game five we were flawless. We served tough, passed well and our offense was unstoppable. We couldn’t do anything wrong.” Sophomore outside hitter Alyssa Oswald finished with 13 kills against Ponderosa while Megan Mcguire had 20 digs. “Our libero, Meagan Mcguire played well, she played great defense, she saved us on a lot of plays,” said Millman. “Our right side Meg Henry had tons of touches on the blocks which might not show up in the stats but it really helped us when we needed to slow down their offense.” Mountain Vista bounced back with a dominating 3-0 win Sept. 6 against winless Grand Junction, 25-15, 25-15, 25-15. The Golden Eagles were scheduled to face Rock Canyon Sept. 9 and visit Legend Sept. 11.

Worth the wait: Horschel wins BMW Tournament at Cherry Hills sets up PGA Tour’s playoff finale By Jim Benton jbenton@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Billy Horschel hit his second shot on the 18th hole and then sprinted up the hill to

Horschel obviously had more on his mind than winning the BMW Championship at Cherry Hills Country Club, but he really didn’t have much to worry about on the tournament’s final hole. “I’m sure the whole world saw me sprint,” said Horschel. “I had to go to the bathroom and I had been holding it for way too many holes, and I just felt like, I could sort of relax and let’s just go ahead to the bathroom before I can’t go. “We knew Bubba (Watson) missed his

birdie putt and we knew we had a two-shot lead. So that was huge.” Horschel, the 27-year-old Floridian, closed with a 1-under par 69 on Sept. 7 after rounds of 68, 66 and 63 for a 14-under par 266 total. He won by two shots over Watson, who had a final-round 66, in Colorado’s first PGA Tour event since 2006. The victory was worth a first-place check of $1.44 million for Horschel and 2,500 FedEx points. “This win means a lot to me,” Horschel said of his second PGA victory. “I didn’t have my great stuff and I was able to grind something out and get the victory at the end of the day.” It was a better outcome than at the Deutsche Bank Championship Sept. 1, when a bad 6-iron shot on the 18th hole dropped Horschel into a second-place tie. Watson, who struggled making putts the entire tournament inside 12 feet, had three consecutive rounds of 66 after an openinground par 70. “I played solid all week,” said Watson. “I had a chance on the last hole to scare (Horschel), but obviously I didn’t make the putt and he played pretty solid.” Morgan Hoffmann, who shot a thirdround Cherry Hill competitive courserecord 62, had a closing 7-under-par 63 to come in third with a 269 total. Hoffman’s final two rounds marked the low 36-round total on the PGA Tour this season. “It’s funny, after the first two days, I didn’t really hit it much better on the weekend than the first two days,” said Hoffmann. “Maybe a couple bigger numbers on Thursday and Friday but obviously more putts went in on the weekend.” Sergio Garcia, the leader after two
rounds, climbed to within two shots of Horschel but recorded an eight on the 555yard, par 5 17th hole. He laid up on his second shot but his approach was wide of the small green. His chip was long and went into the water. “It’s really disappointing,” said Garcia. “It’s what happens when you are not mentally sharp. If I was mentally sharp, if I was rested and really the way I was at the beginning and middle of the year, I would have talked myself into going for the green.” Garcia, Ryan Palmer, Jim Furyk and Rickie Fowler tied for fourth at 271. Garcia, who had 5-under-par 29 on the front nine, finished with a 67 despite the snowman. Palmer closed with a 71, Furyk a 66 and Fowler a 68. Palmer, the 37-year-old Texan, started strong but faltered on the back nine. He was twice a co-leader but a bogey and double bogey on the 12th and 13th holes and another bogey on 15 tarnished his start, when he birdied three of the first five holes. Rory McIlroy, the world’s No. 1 player, finished with a 66 and tied for eighth place. The BMW Championship was the third of four tournaments in the FedEx playoffs. The Tour Championship is set for Sept. 1114 in Atlanta, with the top 30 players in the FedEx standings vying for the crown. Playoff points will be reset and the top five players will be the leading contenders to win the championship. Chris Kirk, who tied for 36th at Cherry Hills, will be top-seeded in Atlanta with 2,500 points. Horschel is second with 1,500 markers and Watson third with 1,000 points. McIlroy is fourth with 750 points and Hunter Mahan fifth with 500.

Course, Colorado meet challenge Cherry Hills draws rave reviews following BMW Championship By Jim Benton
jbenton@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Hills Country Club is a traditional, classic course with subtle greens and short yardage to tantalize professional golfers. However, the course held up well during the BMW Championship that concluded Sept. 7, and large crowds left golfers and fans wondering if the 92-year-old club could again host another prominent PGA tournament. Professional Golf Association and Western Golf Association administrators indicated that Colorado and Cherry Hills would be considered. “The course was good,” said Billy Horschel who won the BMW with a 14-under par 266. “Hopefully we can come back in the future. Hopefully there will be a regular tour (event) out here in Denver because a lot of fans came out this week and supported us. “So hopefully we can get another PGA Tour event back here because it’s a great place.” More than 125,000 fans attended the four days of the tournament — the penultimate stop in the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup playoffs — at the course in Cherry Hills Village. That impressed Rory McIlroy. “The fans and crowds were amazing all week,” he said. “It’s a beautiful area and it was a pleasure to play in front of so many people.” The BMW was the first men’s professional tournament in Colorado since the 2010 Senior PGA Championship was held at the Colorado Golf Club in Parker. The last regular Colorado stop on the PGA Tour was in 2006 at the International, which was played at Castle Pines. “It was a home run,” said Colorado Golf Association executive director Ed Mate when asked about the BMW. “It was
a home run because I couldn’t image anything going any better. “It was a record-setting event for the Western Golf Association and we haven’t seen the final figures yet. The golf course played well and the crowds were fantastic and the fact that the governor and mayor came out speaks volumes of the golf support in Colorado. The only thing I would have liked to have seen was a little more dramatic finish.” Cherry Hills hosted its 11th PGA Tour championship event and the biggest problem BMW officials faced was finding alternate parking arrangements because some lots were unavailable because of rain that soaked the area the evening of Sept. 4. Players complained a little about what they called concrete greens during the first round Sept. 4 but the rain softened the greens for the final three rounds. The three toughest holes on the course were the 247-yard, par 3 15th; the 204-yard, par 2 12th; and the 526-yard, par 4 fifth hole. McIlroy found the 12th extremely tough as he four-putted twice on the green. The 346-yard first hole was inviting for the long hitters who tried to match Arnold Palmer’s feat of driving the green in the 1960 U.S. Open with equipment and balls that didn’t measure up to the modern gear. Only 10 of the 177 golfers that tried to drive the green actually had their tee shots come to rest on the putting surface. There was just one eagle made from the group of 10 golfers. Scoring average on the par-70, 7,352yard course was 69.84 for the tournament as players adjusted quickly to the altitude, which allows the ball to carry farther than at sea level. “I don’t think it was that difficult because you just put 10 percent into your yardages and pretty much play the same numbers,” said Morgan Hoffmann, who set a competitive course record with a third-round 62 and his final-round score of 63 vaulted him into a third-place finish. “So if you trust the yardage, it’s obviously going to look a little further than the number. But if you trust it, it wasn’t a problem for most players. I don’t think they had much difficulty.”

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF SEPT. 8, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Changing your mind doesn’ t come easily for Lambs, who place a high value on commitment. But new facts could emerge that might persuade you to rethink your situation. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) This is a good time to put that fine Bovine’s eye for beauty to work in redecorating your home or workplace. And don’t forget to indulge yourself in some personal time as well. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Your sense of loyalty to someone who asks for your help is commendable. But make sure there are no information gaps that should be filled in before you move too far too quickly.

GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Don’t let difficult people raise the Crab’s ire levels this week. Avoid them if you can. If not, resist telling them off, even if you think they deserve it. Things improve by week’s end. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Your suspicions about a colleague might be on the mark. But you also could be misreading the signals you believe you’re getting. Do some discreet checking before jumping to conclusions. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Take some time out from your many tasks and see if someone might be trying to reach out to you. You could be surprised to learn who it is and why you might want to reciprocate. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You still might want to do more investigating before taking on a new commitment. Later would not be the time to try to fill in any crucial gaps in what you need to know about it. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A new opportunity should be carefully studied. It might offer some of the things you’ve been looking for. Or it could contain new possibilities you never considered. Check it out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) You might have to work harder this week to get people to listen to what you have to say. But if you stay with it, you could start to get your message out to many by the week’s end. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Although family matters again take up a big chunk of the Goat’s time, the week also offers a chance to explore a new career move you’d been contemplating for a while. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Applying your practicality (what does it offer me?) and your creativity (how can I improve on it?) could provide sound reasons for seriously considering that new offer. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) The single set will find that keeping their romantic aspirations on high gives Cupid a better target to aim at. Paired Pisces will find that this week helps reinforce their relationships. BORN THIS WEEK: You believe in encouraging others to demand the best from themselves. You would be a fine sports coach, as well as an enlightened teacher. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Jaguars lose early lead, then game Douglas County overcomes 12-0 deficit, capitalizes on Rock Canyon miscues for win By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@coloradocommunitymedia.com After spending 14 seasons on the sidelines at Douglas County High School as an assistant, Gene Hill’s home head coaching debut couldn’t have felt any better. After Hill’s Huskies fell behind 12-0 to Rock Canyon before most of the fans had even made their way into the stadium, Douglas rallied for the next 29 points and then held on late to give their coach a 29-25 victory over the visiting Jaguars on Sept. 5. “I can’t put it into words, it’s an unbelievable feeling right now,” Hill said. “The way our kids were able to bounce back, unbelievable mental toughness on our part.” The game looked like it was going to be a runaway from the start, but not for the Huskies. D.J. Webb returned the opening kickoff 24 yards for the Jaguars, bringing it out to the 35-yard line. Webb then took the handoff on the first play from scrimmage and scampered 65 yards for the score and a 6-0 lead. The Jaguars defense forced the Huskies to go three-andout on their first possession and then Rock Canyon quarterback Ryan Hommel hit running back Trevor Howard for a 71-yard completion on the Jaguars’ second play from scrimmage for a 12-0 advantage. The pass would be Hommel’s only completion in the first half. From that point on, the Huskies’ defense tightened up, and County running back J.P Rubino, who missed the first week with a broken bone in his foot, punched one in from a yard out with just over a minute remaining in the first quarter. “The line just pushed hard,” said Rubino, who finished with 129 yards on 25 carries after being sidelined for four weeks. “It felt good to come back. I had to hit it hard in training this week, because every single muscle in my legs was dead, but it paid off.” Douglas went into the half trailing 12-7, but starting with Rock Canyon’s first third-quarter possession turned a trio of Jaguar miscues into 22 points in a span of just 2 minutes, 53 seconds to move in front 29-7. The Jaguars lined up to punt from their own 34-yard line, but a snap over the punter’s head gave the Huskies the ball at the Rock Canyon 6-yard line. The Jaguars’ defense held tough, forcing Douglas into a decision with fourthand-goal from the 3, but after Hill asked his offensive line if they were going to score, the decision was made. “I told our kids going into the year, the difference between maybe me and what we have done in the past is that we are going to be more aggressive,” Hill said. “The way our (defense) was playing too, we hadn’t allowed a score since those first two plays. I was very confident (that if we didn’t score) they wouldn’t drive 97 yards on us.” Senior Rope Ruel (12-of-23, 147 yards, two passing touchdowns; 19 carries, 93 yards, one rushing touchdown) then rolled out on the play and connected with Matt Anderson for the 3-yard touchdown pass. Ruel then hit Connor Loveland for the 2-point conversion and a 15-7 lead. Not wanting Webb to return the kickoff after returns of 24 and 48 yards, County pooched it, Rock Canyon muffed it, and senior Christopher Ahrens wound up falling on a loose ball, giving the Huskies another shot at the Jaguar 47yard line. Three plays later, Ruel was in the end zone after a 38-yard quarterback keeper. Hommel, who finished 12-of-30 with two touchdowns and an interception, was then picked off on Rock Canyon’s ensuing possession by Douglas linebacker Brendon Butera, setting the Huskies up on the Jaguars’ 45-yard line. Three plays later, Ruel hit Trent Rillinger for a 19-yard touchdown pass and a 29-12 lead. “We just made too many mistakes,” Rock Canyon coach Brian Lamb said. “If we take care of the ball, we are in much better shape. It’s the second week of the season, and we are still trying to find our identity. We got a little bit better as Jaguars continues on Page 31
