Hospital’s opening draws near Children’s south campus holds employment fair By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com As Children’s Hospital Colorado prepares for the opening of its 175,000-squarefoot south campus in Highlands Ranch, nearly 500 people converged on Southridge Recreation Center with the hope of gaining employment at the new hospital. “We had people lined up an hour before we opened,” Children’s vice president Andrea Ferretti said of the Sept. 9 event in Highlands Ranch. “It’s been quite the successful fair.” The hospital intends to have 300 people employed in clinical and non-clinical positions when it opens in December, and according to staffing director Randy Williams, it has already done a great deal of hiring. In addition, about 40 percent of the staff at the new hospital will be made up of cur-

CliniCs to be Consolidated The four existing Children’s Hospital Colorado clinics that will close in late 2013 and consolidate services into the Highlands Ranch South Campus when it opens include:

• Children’s Hospital Colorado Outpatient Specialty Care, 7960 S. University Blvd., Centennial • Children’s Hospital Colorado Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, 7720 S. Broadway, Littleton • Children’s Hospital Colorado Orthopedic Care, 9094 E. Mineral Ave., Littleton • Children’s Hospital Colorado Outpatient Specialty and Therapy Care, 151 W. County Line Road, Littleton rent employees who are transferring from four area satellite clinics that will be shut down when the hospital opens, he said. Prior to the job fair, the hospital still had openings for 56 non-clinical positions as well as 55 clinical positions. According to Ferretti, there were no on-site interviews being conducted, but quite a few interviews Hospital continues on Page 14

Children’s Hospital Colorado is preparing to open its south campus in Highlands Ranch this December. With just over 100 positions left to be filled, close to 500 job-seekers showed up Sept. 9 at Southridge Recreation Center for a job fair where applicants set up interviews on the spot for clinical and non-clinical positions alike.

NewfouNdlaNds put skills to test

Dogs are born to swim, save lives By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Despite heavy rains, 30 Newfoundlands and their humans — destined to get wet anyway — found the conditions perfect to undergo a series of water tests at Chatfield State Park near Littleton. Hosted by the High Country Newfoundland Club, a regional chapter of the Newfoundland Club of America, the Sept. 13-15 event allowed dogs from as far away as California and Texas the opportunity to chase after a variety of NCA titles by demonstrating proper water rescue technique in a variety of situations.

Three Douglas County School District high schools appear on 5280 magazine’s list of best Front Range public high schools. Highlands Ranch, Mountain Vista and Rock Canyon high schools made The Dean’s List, which based the rankings on data included in the Colorado Growth Model. Evaluations were based on each school’s proficiency in math, reading and writing, and how well it helps its students meet or exceed expected skill levels. 5280 didn’t rank the 23 schools, but listed them in alphabetical order with corresponding data in its September edition. “I’m proud but not surprised,” said Dan McMinimee, DCSD’s assistant superintendent of secondary education. “It’s nice to be named on these lists, but we know all of our high schools do a great job. I’m proud of the performance at every one of our schools.” 5280 touted Highlands Ranch for its “award-winning yearbook and newspaper programs to robust performance and fine arts offerings to athletics” and a Post Graduate Center “dedicated to helping seniors through the college application process …” Mountain Vista was singled out for the fact that “more than 60 percent of teachers boast a master’s degree or higher,” according to 5280. The magazine also noted its acclaimed theater program, and successful traditional and unified athletics programs. Rock Canyon earned praise for the 85-percent-plus student participation rate in clubs and sports and challenging coursework. “The school sends nearly 90 Schools continues on Page 14

Have a seat and meet the neighbors Soon after Kelli and Mark Kolar moved into their two-story home on Hughes Place 18 years ago, The Bench became part of a purposeful plan: to make a gathering place. “Everybody was always outside,” Kelli remembers, “and it was a place where you could sit and relax and watch the kids and catch up with your neighbors.” They bought a bench made of teak, a sturdy but beautiful wood known for its ability to endure all kinds of weather. At the front of the yard, to the right of the driveway and next to the sidewalk, Mark attached it to cinder blocks buried in the ground, so pranksters couldn’t run away with it some night. They planted a pine tree behind it and bushes on each side. “One of the intentions of The Bench,” Kelli says, “was that anyone could go and use it.” And we did. For years, the children would play in the cul-de-sac and we parents would huddle around The Bench. And talk. And laugh. And share the kinds of stories that forged neighbors into friends and a street into a

community. Then the children grew and lives became busier and divergent interests pulled us in different directions. The street became quieter. And so did camaraderie at The Bench. Over the years, several of the original families moved, including the Kolars. New families — some with younger children — replaced them. They became friends, chatting outside as their kids played. But the magical draw of The Bench faded with the teak. In 2010, Rachel and Matt Keillor became

the third family to live in the Kolar house. California transplants originally from the Midwest, they came with their daughter, Natalie, then 3, and their 2½-month-old son, Andrew. And then, as so often happens, an ordinary life event occurs that somehow starts a chain reaction that leads to something special. In this case: Andrew turned 2 and began to scooter. Natalie, now 6, wanted to ride her bike all the time. Rachel, a stay-at-home mom, knowing she’d be spending much of her time outside this past summer, looked to The Bench. She and Matt decided to refinish it. One weekend in May, Matt tried to move The Bench to the garage to sand it down and repaint it. That’s when he discovered the cinder blocks. And that’s when the neighbors rediscovered The Bench. Matt: “That weekend that we refinished it …” Rachel: “Every neighbor came over and talked to us.” They said: “Oh, we used to sit out here all the time.” And shared such learned wisdom as: “Seize the day. Time goes by so quickly. Enjoy the moments with your kids; soon they’ll be going off to Boulder.” And a host of tips and tricks on landscaping and weeding. And the history of the street. “It did help us to get to know the stories of our neighbors,” Rachel says, smiling, “and the people who lived in our house.” When The Bench had its new coat, Rachel added two burnt orange cushions she’d bought for a couple of dollars at a garage sale. Adrienne Miner, who moved into the cul-de-sac with her family 10 years ago, was glad to see the fresh look. She’d often wondered about The Bench. “I’ve looked at it and contemplated it over the years,” says Adrienne, who has two young sons. “I was happy to see when Rachel and Matt painted it and put some pillows on it and made it look more invit-

ing and not so lonely and desolate. … It made it look as important as it probably is.” Any afternoon or evening this summer, more often than not, would find Rachel — or Rachel and Matt — on The Bench watching Natalie and Andrew play. Little by little, as other children would filter into the cul-de-sac, their parents and some of us old-timers, too, would come, gravitating toward The Bench, sitting on the sidewalk or standing nearby. “When it has one person out there,” Adrienne says of The Bench, “it tends to collect other people.” The conversations are busy — about the children and their challenges and successes. School. Home improvements. Work. Life. “Just catching up,” Adrienne says, “and connecting.” Even the children have bonded with The Bench. The neighborhood girls, lately into trading rocks, store their favorites in the nook under the seat. It’s become their trading post. Kelli recently drove down the old street and happily noticed the rejuvenated bench. “It’s kind of like handing down a favorite piece of furniture,” she says. “You never know what’s going to happen. But 18 years later, it’s still being used for what we put it out there for … It’s great.” Already, the hint of cooler weather is slowing down life at The Bench. Soon, Rachel will take in the pillows so they look good for next year. And I will glance out the window to see who’s there, to find it, sadly, empty. But this time, it will only be for a little while. The Bench and its magic, I think, will be back next year.

Think tank helps fund school-board backers C Money comes into play as election approaches By Jane Reuter

‘I put in a ton of hours. That tells you how much I believe in what this organization is doing. I don’t care

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com DougCo Champions for Kids, a proDouglas County School Board community group, is getting financial help from the high-profile Independence Institute think tank in the lead-up to the November elections. DougCo Champions for Kids describes itself as “a group of parents, educators, business people, and taxpayers who want to share the news about what’s really going on in DougCo K-12 education.” The conservative Independence Institute “agreed to help us cover some minor expenses,” said Franceen Thompson, a volunteer with the group. DougCo Champions for Kids is registered with the Colorado Secretary of State as an unincorporated nonprofit association. Its registered agent is Mike Krause, the Independence Institute’s vice president of operations. “I’m the registered agent (but) I’ve had very little to do with the operations,” Krause said in late August, and then said he would ask the staff member who “runs DougCo Champs for Kids” to call Colorado Community Media to answer specific questions. The call was not returned. The Denver-based Independence Institute is a libertarian think tank currently rallying against the state’s gun-control laws. It also promotes educational vouchers and charter schools. In April 2013, it conducted a phone survey on DCSD issues that some recipients characterized as slanted in favor of the district and against the teachers’ union. Thompson, also a district captain with the Douglas County Republicans, at first said she didn’t know the details about DougCo Champions’ funding, but later acknowledged the connection to the Inde-

where the funding comes from.’ Franceen Thompson, volunteer pendence Institute. Thompson has not responded to a follow-up request for clarification.

‘Champs’ grateful for help

Thompson said some community members who support the current board’s reform policies became concerned last February about the distribution of fliers “spreading misinformation about what was happening in the school district.” “We did not have the funds to compete and decided to reach out (to) other organizations that might be willing to help our grassroots effort and counter the misinformation … regarding our school district and the reforms our district put into place,” Thompson wrote in an email. “We reached out to the Independence Institute and asked if they would be willing to help us out. We are grateful to the Independence Institute for helping to organize a grassroots effort to get our message to the community.” Thompson, who supports DCSD’s voucher and new pay-for-performance programs, said she is not paid for her time. “I put in a ton of hours,” she said. “That tells you how much I believe in what this organization is doing. I don’t care where the funding comes from.” DougCo Champions has hosted community forums at which current board members have attempted to address community concerns. The organization’s name is on pro-board fliers recently distributed at school events,

including a Sept. 6 football game at Douglas County Stadium in Castle Rock. School board vice president Kevin Larsen said DougCo Champions is not affiliated with the board or district. “The district has to stay out of the political race,” he said. “Whatever any of those other advocacy groups are doing, they’re doing on their own accord.” Larsen said he and board member Meghann Silverthorn appeared by invitation at a DougCo Champions community meeting. “Our showing up at any of those events is simply through accepting an invitation to engage,” he said. “If Taxpayers for Public Education had invited us to be at an event where they wanted to meet the board and ask questions, we would go. We’ve never received any such invitation.” Taxpayers for Public Education is a plaintiff in a lawsuit against DCSD’s voucher program.

Campaign manager identifies self

Additionally, Monument-based political consultant Chad Yelinski has identified himself on LinkedIn as a campaign manager for DougCo Champions starting in May 2013. He also lists “Douglas County School Board campaign” as a project that includes coordinating “grassroots effort to help educate citizens in Douglas County on the key issues going on for school reform. Paving the way for advocacy and education.” Yelinski, who did not respond to mul-

tiple attempts to speak with him, describes his role with the DougCo Champions’ campaign on his LinkedIn profile as “gathering data through the use of a precise grassroots strategy to reach a very target group of voters,” working to organize and educate Douglas County citizen groups, building a volunteer base and writing a developmentBy R rbold plan. Yelinski’s LinkedIn profile, on the morning of Sept. 12, said he was working as a Af “political operative” for a company he listsRanc as C3 Political Consulting LLC, where hefield “organized events and grassroots for Doug-anot opm Co Champs 4 Kids.” Yelinski recently moved to Washington,in Do D.C., for an internship with the Heritagecoun Foundation, a think tank whose missionprov is “to formulate and promote conservative Th public policies based on the principles ofappe free enterprise, limited government, indi-grou vidual freedom, traditional American val-ing o the c ues, and a strong national defense.” The LinkedIn profile was changed on the afternoon of Sept. 12 after Colorado Community Media contacted the Heritage Foundation to verify Yelinski’s activities. The post of “political operative” working with DougCo Champions for Kids, which had been listed as a current job along with his Heritage Foundation internship, was changed to a past job. Yelinski’s “campaign manager” description, which had been listed as continuing into September, has been revised to indicate that it also has come to an end. Yelinski’s other work experience includes a paid internship with EIS Solutions. That company was a 2011 campaign consultant for Douglas County Citizens for Education Reform, which supported two ultimately unsuccessful school district tax-hike proposals. He also served a 2012 internship with the Starboard Group, which helped coordinate a June 2013 Douglas County Educational Foundation luncheon that drew protesters questioning Starboard’s work with conservative political candidates and groups.

s Chatfield group moves to stop Sterling Ranch

ribes camering rassroup ucate ng a mentBy Ryan Boldrey

Homeowners file second court appeal against development rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com

an “abuse of discretion” and “acted outside their jurisdiction and authority” by approving the development on July 10. The suit, similar to the 2011 challenge, argues that Sterling Ranch still does not have an adequate water supply to move forward with its development and also states that the commissioners acted on an application that was not pending, but closed, when they approved it earlier this summer. According to County Attorney Lance Ingalls, there is a difference in how the Chatfield group read Judge Paul King’s order and how the county interpreted it. “Judge King said specifically that it was within the discretion of the county what to do next,” Ingalls said. “The county feels it has been in compliance all along.” After King determined in 2012 that the development had not demonstrated an adequate water supply in its 2011 application, the county commissioners lobbied the state

This irked the Chatfield group, which stated in its recent filing that the commissioners, by “engaging a paid lobbyist to enact legislative changes intended to aid the applicant,” have acted in a biased manner. “We pursued those changes because at the end of the day we have many applications in addition to Sterling Ranch and we simply need to know what our legal requirements are for making these determinations,” Ingalls said. “We did not do so at the request of Sterling Ranch and we stand by the clarifications we got. “It is mandatory that a local government determines an adequate water supply before the build-out of a project, but

local governments have the discretion as to when to make that determination.” And while the county still has not ruled whether Sterling Ranch has an adequate water supply to proceed with the first phase of its development, that application is expected to be filed soon when Sterling Ranch submits its sketch plan to the county. The sketch plan, which will be followed by a preliminary plat filing and a final plat filing, is the first of three hoops Sterling Ranch needs to jump through before breaking ground, something the developer hopes to do later this year. “I don’t see there being any legitimacy to the complaint,” said Sterling Ranch attorney Wayne Foreman. “It challenges a process that was exhausted.” Numerous attempts to reach Chatfield attorney James Kreutz and homeowner’s association vice president Dennis Larratt were unsuccessful at press time.

Oktoberfest on tap this weekend Belated Fourth of July fireworks show will cap event

2013 OKTOBERFEST SCHEDULE 7:30 A.M. — Race registration begins 8:30 A.M. — Oktoberfest 5K/100 yard dash

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com Bratwurst, beer, music, dancing, beer, dachshund races, games for kids of all ages, beer ... it must be time for Oktoberfest again. The popular, all-day festival, slated for Sept. 21 in Town Center South, will bring out the German in everyone, including the dogs. The free event will begin with a ceremonial tapping of the keg at noon, and all present and of age will receive their first taste on the house as they are invited to participate in a traditional German toast. From there, beers will cost $5 per pint. Attendees can also enjoy sipping their suds from a 17-ounce commemorative stein that will be available for purchase on site. Traditional fare from Helga’s German Restaurant will be available for purchase all day and beers will once again be provided by Paulaner. The festival will close down at 10 p.m., and those who make it to last call can enjoy this year’s postponed Highlands

Expect to hear some German music throughout the day, and without a doubt, there will be a whole lot of polka going on. A family-friendly affair, according to HRCA spokeswoman Jamie Noebel, there will be bounce houses, balloon artists, carnival games, inflatables, a magician and more for the kids. Nothing is more fun for the whole family than the dogs, she said. And for those who wish to

get their dogs involved in the festivities, there will be prizes for the three fastest dachshunds, as well as the best-dressed dog. “All dogs can dress up in their finest German attire for the contest,” said Noebel, adding that more than 40 dachshunds and “dachshund wannabes” participated in last year’s races, running in heats of four. “It really is so fun,” she said. “It is the shortest, fastest race you can imagine. The track is so short, just 30 feet long, and the dogs get so overwhelmed with everyone yelling, they start jumping lanes.” And while running with the dogs isn’t encouraged, for those who want to get a workout in before the party starts, there is a 5K run/100-yard dash at 8:30 a.m. Strollers and dogs are allowed in the race, and keeping with the theme of Oktoberfest, for those who show ID when picking up their bibs, there will also be an opportunity to indulge in a free 10-ounce pour before sprinting the final 100 yards of the run. For more information on the festival, as well as the 5K run — which starts and finishes at the intersection of Ridgeline and Dorchester — please visit www. hrcaonline.org or call 303-4718870.

School board member says work remains Benevento wants focus on finances, educational options By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Disagreements aside, Doug Benevento finds serving on the Douglas County School Board gratifying — so much so he’d like to do it another four years. “It’s rewarding when we’re at board meetings and you see wonderful kids and the things that they’ve accomplished, the wonderful teachers that have done great things,” he said. “It’s rewarding we’re putting more money in the classrooms, and we’re paying our best teachers more. “When we walked in, we were in the teeth of the recession. We worked as a team on the board to solve that challenge and solve it in a manner we felt was best for the district.” Benevento, elected to the District E seat in 2009, is one of four candidates en-

dorsed by the Douglas County Republicans in this year’s election. An attorney for Xcel Energy, the Colorado native previously served as Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment director and U.S. Senator Wayne Allard’s senior policy adviser. His two daughters attend Platte River Academy charter school. Benevento credits fatherhood for his interest in public service. “I thought of (school board membership) as returning something to the community,” he said. Parenthood also has guided his decisions thus far, he said. “I believe parents are the best decision-makers for their children,” Benevento said. “That was my theme four years ago and it’ll be my theme this year as well. “Each child is an individual and we need to provide as many choices and educational options for students as possible. Then we put them in the best position to succeed in education as possible.” Pleased as he is by the current board’s accomplishments, Benevento said more needs to be done.

Candidate well-versed in facing challenges CU regent wants to serve with Douglas County Schools By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com James Geddes is no stranger to controversy. The District B candidate for the Douglas County School Board is a University of Colorado Regent who is pushing for change among the university’s staff and in the definition of discrimination. He believes the changes he seeks are coming, but said: “It’s been against some significant resistance.” The surgeon and Sedalia resident sees a lack of intellectual diversity among college professors, and hopes to help enact change. He also wants to ensure individuals’ expressions of political and philosophical beliefs are protected. Geddes introduced a pair of resolutions designed to address those issues in June. Geddes, who describes himself as “a pretty strong conservative,” said a preponderance of liberal professors doesn’t provide students with a well-rounded education. “Most of our universities across the country have become very leftist and the faculty is standing right together on a point of orientation,” he said. “We’re not providing the best possible educational environment for our kids, and that needs to change. “We need to actively bring in high-quality academics who are proponents of the other side of some of these issues. Students then are well equipped to choose where they stand on these issues. I quite frankly think the same thing should be occurring in our high schools and junior highs to a certain degree.” If elected to the school board, Geddes said he would encourage a similar philosophy. “I think it has to occur as an initiative of the actual faculty,” he said. “For me to step in and say we’re going to line up all the teachers in high school, figure out where they’re standing politically

and start sorting them into piles and reorganizing them — that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about an ethic we all need to share.” The Joplin, Mo., native grew up in Denver, and has a bachelor’s degree from CU and a medical degree from the University of Colorado-Denver School of Medicine. He is an emergency trauma and emergency general thoracic surgeon in the Denver area. A father of four, Geddes’ two youngest children attend Cherry Hills Christian School; his oldest two are adults. Geddes is a Douglas County Republican-endorsed candidate who supGeddes ports the district’s current pay-for-performance plan and voucher program. “I’m hoping that’ll go through the court system and come back to us,” he said of the voucher program. “Then we can fully implement it.” Measuring teacher success is not an easy task, he said. “I don’t think the last chapter’s been written on how that’s done,” he said. “But in concept, if a teacher’s doing a great job and creating eager learners … that teacher needs to be recognized, rewarded and retained.” Geddes said he would keep constituents foremost in his mind when making decisions on the board. “First, we should consider what’s best for our students, and best for our citizens,” he said. “Also, of course, we have to be responsible to the employees of the district. We want them to be happy.” Geddes does not plan to seek another term on the CU Board of Regents. Elected to the board in 2008 to serve the 6th Congressional District, his current term expires in January 2015. As a DCSD board member, he said, “I will be applying the conservative principles of limited government, individual freedom and individual responsibility that goes with freedom.”

“I think we need to continue to look for efficiencies in the district to return more money to the classroom,” he said. “I think we need to look for that next increment of parental choice. How can we make sure that child can access the school that works best for them? “We need to continue to develop the pay-for-performance system, (one) that is going to attract the best and keep the best teachers.” While Benevento acBenevento knowledges dissension surrounding some board decisions, he said he hasn’t yet heard convincing arguments from opponents — particularly on the voucher program. “There seems to be obstacles to any increment of choice because that’s too much,” he said. “They’re not raising substantive argu-

ments about what’s the matter with (the voucher program).” Plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the voucher program cited several concerns, including the use of public money by private schools. Benevento said he’s open to discussion if the focus is on the quantity of educational options — not eliminating choice altogether. “I would like everybody to be completely happy, but I think the vast majority are happy with the direction of the district,” he said. “Objectively, if you look at how the district is performing, clearly we are moving in the right direction.” Benevento acknowledged his acceptance of campaign funds during the 2009 election from private-school and schoolchoice supporters, but said: “I guarantee you there is not a significant supporter I know of that has come to the district for anything.”

opinions / yours and ours

Planning, packing pivotal to preparedness Fire is far from our minds with last week’s rains. But we just left a summer with the worst fire in Colorado history. The Black Forest Fire took down nearly 500 homes, and the state required federal disaster aid. At the same time, the state was dotted with lesser blazes, including the Lime Gulch and Royal Gorge fires. The number of evacuations was dwarfed by the news of the number of homes lost, but it was a big hurt to many other people, their health, pets and livelihoods. And now — after what had been a relatively calm start to the month — we suddenly experience flooding and rainfall enough to have caused several deaths. So

our view it’s not difficult to be mindful of Emergency Preparedness Month in September — the FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) initiative started in 2004 that involves a few simple projects. First develop an emergency plan. It’s easy. • Decide a group meeting place in case of emergency or disaster. Choose one near home and one farther away. • Identify an emergency contact person

and assign responsibilities to each family or group member. • Make some decisions about where your family should go if forced to leave the area. And make plans for the pets. Second, assemble the supplies you will need. And group everything together in a kit. Here’s a recommended list from FEMA. • Battery powered or crank radio • Weather alert radio • Extra batteries • First aid kit • Sanitary napkins • Dust mask • Water for drinking and sanitation • Water purification tablets

• Waterproof matches and a butane lighter • Crank flashlight • Plastic sheeting • Non-perishable food for at least three days • Disinfectants and medications • Medical information for entire family, including instructions about medications and health history information. We never know when Mother Nature or a man-made disaster will make us all shake in our boots. So it’s not a bad idea to go through the steps of being prepared for disaster. We hope the exercise simply amounts to an educational experience. On to fall and winter.

How time flies … What’s your favorite or slows, or reverses thing about fall? question of the week

As summer officially ends and fall begins, we asked several people in the Highlands Ranch Town Center what they like best about the season.

“The weather, the clothes, the heartier, more savory food, Thanksgiving, rain and snow. And then of course, the leaves changing color.” — Kaitlin Clark, Denver

“Football and Thanksgiving.” — Thiago Harvey, Denver

“The leaves changing. But football first.” — Kenneth Harvey, Denver

“Cooler weather and the changing of the leaves. But the snow can stay in the mountains.” — Jackie Walsh, Highlands Ranch

letters to the editor Forum blatantly one-sided

In response to “Despite candidate conflicts, DCSD forum is a go”: Despite his position as the Douglas County GOP District Captain, David DiCarlo could at least attempt to appear impartial in his role as Douglas County School District Accountability Committee chairman. In the video of the Aug. 13 DAC meeting, Mr. DiCarlo said of his efforts to reach possible school board candidates about a candidate forum, “I just started today, so I’ve reached out to six. As I hear back, I’ll email the rest of the DAC with potential dates, potential places.” Surely if Mr. DiCarlo was able to contact six potential candidates in one day, he could have found the time to contact the other six that were registered at that date, sometime in the next day or two. Instead, he waited three weeks, until Sept. 2, to inform the other candidates of a set date, with no similar opportunity to weigh in on “potential dates, potential places.” I must question Mr. DiCarlo’s integrity when he then states, “all candidates were given the exact same notice.” Furthermore, his excuse of “availability of the venue” is simply ludicrous as there were only eight days in September and October that the Douglas County High School auditorium was booked as of Sept. 9. Conveniently, the candidates he contacted on Sept. 2 just happen to be those he opposes, while the GOP-endorsed candidates remarkably could attend. This is a blatant attempt to provide a one-sided forum for the candidates supported by Mr. DiCarlo, and it is a flagrant misuse of his authority as DAC chair. I encourage all citizens of Douglas County to put an end to these forms of deliberate, calculated, and unethical behaviors within our school district by voting for Barbra Chase, Bill Hodges, Julie Keim and Ronda Scholting in the upcoming Board of

Education election. Meg Masten Highlands Ranch

Claims about schools are rubbish

Regarding the Rev. Frank R. Morris’ guest column of Sept. 5: Rubbish. The existing board runs the school district according to capitalistic theory? Rubbish. If so then when do I get a dividend in the form of reduced taxes? The board runs it according to Dr. Friedman’s economic theories? Rubbish. If so, where are the universal vouchers? As a result teachers are no longer respected professionals and ... become classroom supervisors? Rubbish. Supervisors aren’t respected professionals? Teachers are no longer professionals or is it they are no longer respected? One can’t tell from your sentence. Of course neither is true as anyone who watches board and teacher interaction can easily tell. Or spent any time talking to or listening to board members (Disagreeing is not disrespect.) In the business world one does not allow non-business people to tell them how to manage? Rubbish. I am hard-pressed to identify any segment of society that is more open to input regardless of source. Think about it, the business world welcomes input from academia, from the consumer, from regulators, from philosophy, from theology, and, in the United States at least, from foreign cultures. This school board is replacing a mid20th-century educational model with one that puts the consumer in charge by allowing the parent to choose between a traditional model, a charter school model, a private school model, an online model and a home school model. That is true reform and an increase in individual liberty. Michael Wallace Highlands Ranch

I have attended football games all over the place. Lincoln, Norman, Ann Arbor, Pasadena, Berkeley, Palo Alto, Tempe. None of them ended in slow motion. I have attended Major League Baseball games in at least five states, and none of the games ended in slow motion. But every time I watch a football or baseball movie, it ends in slow motion. Is it a requisite? “Must end in slow motion.” Maybe the director has to stretch the movie out because it didn’t take up enough time. That must be it. He’s got 10 minutes to go, and he doesn’t have 10 minutes worth of action and dialogue. I know better about slow motion. It is used to add drama to drama. I don’t think I have ever seen a football or baseball movie end in real time. Or basketball. Have you seen “Hoosiers”? Jimmy Chitwood goes up ... up ... up. It takes 20 seconds and there are only three seconds left in the game. Directors can manipulate time all over the place. There are flashbacks and flashforwards. Some movies have both, so you have to pay attention. “Back to the Future” starts in 1985, goes back to 1955, and returns to 1985, after Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) tinkers with events. I like Fox. He is going to star in a new television series. He’s an inspiration. There is film that was famously shot in nearly real time. It’s “High Noon,” starring Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly. I look at clocks in movies. Most of the time they don’t change during a scene. In “High Noon,” clocks are shown throughout the

movie, and they are all ticking down the minutes until the bad guy, Frank Miller, gets off the train and comes gunning for Will Kane (Cooper). It takes place in Hadleyville, in the New Mexico Territory. The film is #27 on the American Film Institute’s list of great films. Some movies start way in the past. They are called period films. I am not crazy about period films, like “Pride and Prejudice.” Mr. Darcy doesn’t do much for me. Most period films are humorless. There has to be a little humor, doesn’t there? Not always. There weren’t a lot of oneliners in “Schlinder’s List.” A film came out in 1968 that was set in 2001, “A Space Odyssey,” and it seemed very futuristic. We hadn’t even been to the moon yet. Now 2001 has come and gone. Sometimes time plays tricks on us. It takes forever to wait 15 minutes in line at the pharmacy or on hold on the phone, but 15 minutes goes by much too fast when you are with the one you love.

An overview of world markets in motion Different economic factors drive different results in different countries. However, we are the same in that we share one globe. August market returns worldwide are a good example of how certain countries produced diverse results. However the global nature of current affairs was the common denominator producing significant volatility for investors. August marked the usual late summer lull that often follows the more exiting July earnings season. Many investors vacation late in summer and the low trading volume is often blamed for a downward drifting stock market this time of year. September is often a volatile month and this year the fall outlook has cast an ominous shadow over the markets. The anticipation of dealing with the federal deficit, the new Affordable Health Care Act, another possible round of sequestration and a possible new Federal Reserve chairman would each be good reasons for uncertainty. On top of these issues we also must deal with China balancing between cooling down growth without stalling the economy; the conflict in Syria; and Europe com-

ing out of recession. While there is a lot going on that is country specific, the domino triggers are also in effect where news from halfway around the globe impacts our investments. Here is an overview of the world markets at the end of August: The United States became infatuated with when the Federal Reserve Board would begin to taper their bond buying program. This set the stage for rising bond yields which put pressure on both bond and stock prices pushing U.S. markets down 3 percent¹. The news of chemical weapons used in Syria created more uncertainty. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell below 15,000 again in August, which seems to be an emotional level for many domestic investors.

Europe announced the 17-nation euro zone has emerged from recession. However, this news was tempered with investor concerns about potential strikes on Syria, which pushed stocks down for Europe as well. Asia Pacific nations also had varying degrees of declines. Japan fell 2 percent on a lower-than-expected growth outlook and pending sales tax increase designed to help lower their massive fiscal deficit. This in turn could dampen economic growth. Australian stocks were up slightly despite the lower economic outlook largely due to high unemployment. Emerging markets as a whole also fell 2 percent last month despite variable economic data in specific countries. China had a slight increase as their manufacturing index expanded for the first time in four months. South Korea also showed an increase helped by rising exports. The rest of the emerging markets remain troubled with large deficits, high inflation and declining currencies. This includes India, Indonesia, Brazil, Turkey and Mexico. Russia reduced their growth forecast pushing stocks modestly lower.

This research indicates that investors may experience increased volatility stemming from foreign or domestic issues: Some specific to each country’s economic situation and some due to the global contagion. While foreign investing often provides good diversification, it may be impossible to determine where all the risks are. Therefore keep your strategy current with your advisor to monitor opportunities and the concerns that come with them. Now that we are on a global market, it will be difficult to see all the factors necessary to make investment decisions without qualified advice. 1.

Short-term thinking blurs big-picture vision The need for instant gratification has truly compromised our ability to see beyond what is immediately in front of us. I mean in some cases we can’t even see the next three hours that are directly in front of us let alone three weeks, three months, or three years down the road. We want something and we want it now. I do agree that part of this insatiable need for speed when it comes to our wants and desires has been shaped by technology and the fact that we can access information with one or two clicks on our computer, tablet, and smart phone. But I also believe as a society we have developed a perceived need to keep up with our neighbors, family members, and our competitors when it comes to business. We want what they have and we want it now. You see, short-term thinkers limit themselves to what they can have or achieve today instead of seeing the much bigger potential of tomorrow. And whether tomorrow comes in a day, in a month, or over several years … tomorrow will eventually come. And if we live only for the things we can have at our fingertips in this moment, we forgo the opportunity to enjoy the rewards that come by careful planning, temporary sacrifices, saving, being patient, and willing to earn and wait for the things that will provide enjoyment and security in the future. Near-term thinking or seeking is driven by an attitude of impatience. Big-picture visioning and pursuing is driven by a goals-oriented and resultsfocused attitude. The student will make a decision to blow off a homework assignment today in exchange for a good time

tonight. The unemployed person will stop sending resumes and applying for the position they truly want because they were not offered a job today. The person seeking to lose weight or improve their physical fitness will avoid the gym because the pounds are coming off too slowly or their endurance or strength is not improving rapidly enough. There are countless scenarios where the shortcut and partial success are rationalized by the acceptance of fractional achievement of what we really desire. Our choice to accept the “almost-win” always seems easier at first, but ultimately leads to a life filled with “woulda,” “shoulda,” “coulda” thoughts and regrets. Of course there are activities and tasks that require short-term thinking and immediate actions. However, when we allow everything we do to be driven by the near term, it is so easy to lose sight of the big picture. So what do we do about this instant gratification epidemic? The first thing we need to do is to adopt an attitude of patience and big-picture visioning. The second thing we need to do is to identify our goals. And as a best practice, categorize each goal into one of three buckets: near term, mid-range, and longterm.

The first time that we go through this exercise we will probably notice that one of the buckets is filled with more goals than the other two. This is a good thing, as it will bring awareness to where our current focus lies. The next step is to go back and make sure that there is some level of distribution in all three buckets. Once we have taken the time to identify and prioritize our goals into these categories, we will begin to see and internally own the roadmap for our personal success. This is easier than we think; it only requires some time and thoughtful consideration to get started. And there is no time

like the present to get started. How about you, is it about instant gratification or are you willing to put in the time, hard work, patience and sacrifice necessary to realize your goals and dreams? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, because when we get our heads and hearts around what our long-term future can possibly be, it really will be a better than good week.

New Christian elementary expanding Arma Dei Academy planning to move from church basement to two-story addition By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com A private Christian school launched last year with nine students will expand into a new space with room for as many as 210 students next spring. Leaders of Arma Dei Academy, which now is housed in the basement of Living Way Fellowship Church in Highlands Ranch, breaks ground on the two-story expansion Oct. 1. Four Douglas County families helped open the K-8 school in September 2012. Seven of the original nine students were the founding parents’ children. The school now has 26 students, and its board is secure enough in its future to take a huge step forward. “We’re just seeing more interest in classical Christian education, especially in the lower grades,” board chairman Greg Vigil said.

Arma Dei Academy will break ground Oct. 1 on a two-story addition to the Living Way Fellowship Church that will house the growing school. Photo by Jane Reuter “Having a home for the school will reinforce that the school’s not going anywhere. I think it will give people confidence it’s a viable alternative for their child’s education.”

The 16,000-square-foot addition will be connected to the church. Arma Dei Academy will have a long-term lease on the space, with the goal of someday building its own separate struc-

ture and then turning the attached space back over to Living Way. “It’s a huge upgrade from our current use of the space where we’re a tenant and we’re secondary to the primary user,” Vigil said.

will oversee the firm’s group of designers and web developers in the Denver office. “With Pati overseeing our creative and branding efforts, we look forward to expanding our presence in the Denver market,” says hill aevium President Linda Hill. “We are thrilled that Pati will be able to offer her expertise in creating customized solutions for clients in both the Vail Valley and the Front Range,” adds Hill. Martinez joined hill aevium in 2010. Earlier this year, hill aevium received a Silver Adrian Award from the Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International (HSMAI) for its redesign of the Glenwood Hot Springs website, striving to enhance the site’s design and architecture in an effort to increase website traffic and provide quicker access to meaningful website content. Since the new site launched a year ago, the number of unique visitors to the

website has increased by 21% and the number of people who clicked through to the reservation system increased by 19%. Last year, the agency won two W3 Awards from the International Academy of the Visual Arts for website design and was named a Bronze winner in the 33rd Annual Telly Awards for their Estes Park :30 TV spot titled “Take Flight.” The agency was also responsible for the design and implementation of the South Metro Denver Chamber’s new brand logo last year. “hill aevium did a fantastic job of incorporating our Chamber’s core values of collaboration, empowerment, transformation and celebration into an immediately recognizable logo and icon. They worked very closely with our branding committee to make sure we came out with a dynamic and graphically interesting logo,” said Chamber President and CEO John Brackney.

The board’s ultimate goal is construction of a free-standing, K-12 campus, ideally on a vacant 7-acre parcel adjacent to the Wildcat Reserve Parkway church. But there’s no rush to bring that dream to fruition. “My desire is to do what we are doing and do it well rather than take on something new and do it half well,” said headmaster Steve Marshall, who recently joined the Arma Dei staff. The school’s course of study emphasizes biblical teachings. Arma Dei students learn Latin and study math, science, history and classical literature, among other subjects. Until and unless Arma Dei adds a high school level, its graduates will attend Valor Christian or public high schools. “Our desire is to make sure they are equipped to handle the rigors or high school and be successful,” Marshall said. The construction will be paid for with private donations, Vigil said. Arma Dei Academy plans an open house from 6 to 7 p.m. Sept. 24. Child care will be provided.

g Governor, FEMA chief update flood response

al isBy George Lurie ding,glurie@ourcoloradonews.com acant Wild- At a press briefing held Sept. 16 . Butat South Metro Fire Rescue headreamquarters in Centennial, Gov. John Hickenlooper and Federal Emere aregency Management Agency chief thanW. Craig Fugate detailed state do itand national efforts underway in Steveresponse to the historic flooding d thethat has ravaged large areas of the Front Range and eastern plains. tudy “We continue to be focused ings.on search and recovery,” said the n andgovernor, who was flanked by andmembers of the Colorado conothergressional delegation, most of whom were dressed in jeans and Deiappeared not to have slept much adu-in the past week. an or Promising to hold daily press briefings while the full extent of theydamage continues to be revealed, igorsthe Democratic governor said: sful,”“Twenty-one helicopters are flying today. They are primarily dopaiding search and rescue but also beVigilginning the process of prioritizing recovery efforts.” s an Neither Hickenlooper nor any Sept.of the other officials who spoke d. provided updates on flood fatalities or the number of people still

unaccounted for. Fugate said that as of Sept. 16, some 3,000 people had registered with FEMA for emergency aid. The governor said specifics on damage estimates would come in two or three weeks, adding that many “bridges, culverts and roadways were built a long time ago (when) our understanding of flood events wasn’t the same.” The still-evolving disaster will “be a challenge” to the state’s nascent economic recovery, Hickenlooper said. “But Colorado will come out of this with a stronger infrastructure.” While introducing Fugate, Hickenlooper praised FEMA’s response to the catastrophe. “I am very gratified and encouraged by our relationship with FEMA,” he said, referring to Fugate as “a breath of fresh air.” While Fugate estimated that damage assessments could take as long as a month to calculate, he said people impacted by flooding can register their losses and apply for FEMA aid by calling 800-621FEMA (3362) or by going online to www.disasterassistance.gov. “We need to be ready as a nation to support the governor’s

team,” Fugate said. FEMA financial aid, he added, would be “based on immediate need.” Asked how this disaster compares to FEMA’s efforts to respond to other natural disasters, including Hurricane Katrina, Fugate said: “All disasters are local. I try not to compare them because if your house just got destroyed, the last thing you want to hear about is some other disaster.” Democratic Sen. Mark Udall, who referred to the flooding as “countless liquid tornadoes,” vowed that the government’s response to the natural disaster would be as speedy and proficient as “Peyton Manning plays football. There’s no ‘I’ in Colorado. We will work together as a team.” Picking up on Udall’s football reference, Hickenlooper said state and national officials will go about the recovery process in a “hurryup but not foolish way.” “This isn’t over,” said U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner, a Republican who represents a vast area of Colorado’s eastern plains and who also talked briefly at the event. “We need to keep in mind that as we speak, there is still damage occurring in many parts of the state.”

At a Sept. 16 press conference held at South Metro Fire Rescue headquarters, Gov. John Hickenlooper talks about the latest information regarding flood damage. He was joined by FEMA Administrator W. Craig Fugate, center, and Sen. Mark Udall. Photo by George Lurie

Teacher team runs 200-mile race Castle Rock group says event links them to outdoor ed students By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Teachers at Castle Rock’s Renaissance Expeditionary Learning Outward Bound School regularly expose their students to outdoor experiences designed to challenge and enlighten. On Sept. 6 and 7, a dozen of them led by example. The team completed the 200-mile, overnight Ragnar Relay Series from Copper Mountain to Snowmass. The series, held in locations across the country, involves teams of six to 12 who run in shifts. Each participant runs three times at varying distances and terrain. “As teacher and educators, we are walking away with so much more knowledge and understanding for kids, especially as we get ready to send them out on these adventure ed programs,” teacher Lindsey Burris said. “It definitely has given us new eyes to look at our kids through. We were in that vulnerable place they are.” Lauren Gunn, a non-runner when she agreed to be part of the team, agrees. “We walk the path, and try and do the

“I can say, `I want you to push yourself to the point you are stepping out and taking a risk. It’s OK to fail because you have people around you that will support you,’ ” Burris said. That support from their fellow teachers during the 200-mile run was vital, the par-

ticipants said. As one teammate ran, the others drove the course in a van looking for their fellow runner, then stopped to cheer that person on. “In the middle of the night, I was getting delusional I was so tired,” Gunn said. “But when you felt like there was nothing left, suddenly you would see your van pulled over and there they were — all cheering.” The support expanded to include teacher Hanni Gilbert, who had to drop out of the race when she suffered a debilitating migraine the morning of the event. Teammates rallied to take her legs of the race, and ran with a T-shirt bearing her name. Students also urged their teachers on toward success before race day. “For me, having those encouraging words and the visualization of their little faces just pushed me that extra mile,” Burris said. The experience not only enabled the teachers to relate more intimately to their students’ outdoor challenges, but brought them closer as a teaching team. “People ask, `What place did you finish? What was our overall time?’ ” said first-year Renaissance teacher Amanda Deegan. “I don’t even know because that wasn’t what it was about. “I feel like I have a family at this school. It’s not just a job. These are people I’ve been through a lot with already.”

TRAIL OF DESTRUCTION

Roxborough school damaged

Sometime over Labor Day weekend, Aug. 30-Sept. 3, an unknown suspect or suspects damaged more than $1,000 of playground equipment at Roxborough Primary School, located at 8000 Village Circle West in Roxborough. In addition to destroying a privately owned plastic soccer goal and shaving off the top of a mesh and plastic-coated table, the suspect or suspects drew pictures of male genitalia on playground equipment and on the sidewalks and etched obscenities into equipment.

Douglas County sheriff’s deputies responded to a long-abandoned house in the 500 block of Providence Drive in Castle Pines on Sept. 8 after it was reported that the back door of the house was open. When deputies arrived, it was noted that the window of the back sliding door was broken out and there were several broken windows throughout the house. It appeared the windows had been broken out by rocks or possibly a BB gun. A room on the main floor also had holes in the drywall.

“Newfoundlands were bred to be water rescue dogs,” said HCNC secretary Meg Morrison, of Lafayette. “It’s instinctual for them. Over in Europe, they are used in the Coast Guard. The U.S. is yet to include us in the Coast Guard, but maybe someday.” Morrison has three Newfoundland dogs, including Bojie — who is training at the top level of Water Rescue Dog Excellent — 3-year-old Rigsby, and Smooch, a 15-week old puppy. Morrison, the test chair for the recent series of water tests, said dogs at all levels of expertise showed up to compete for titles, or NCA certification. To earn their titles, dogs do everything from leaping off boats to fetch paddles or rescue their handlers, to carrying life rings to a person in distress, to towing boats to shore. “It’s really amazing what they are capable of doing,” said Melissa Sharp, who drove 6½ hours from Rio Rancho, N.M. with her dog Koda to undergo testing. “We’re here because we want the titles, but it’s really about having

fun with our dogs.” Sharp and Koda have been working with a trainer in New Mexico for four years, and she said there have been times where she has seen training pay off for other’s dogs, including once when high-powered winds kept a crew from rowing into shore and a friend’s Newfoundland was able to tow them in safely. “Most of us do it because it is mainly just a demonstration of the dog’s natural abilities,” said Littleton resident Mark O’Connor, whose 7-year-old Newfoundland Panda has

RuleR of the Railzz

The 12th Annual Ruler of the Railzz went off without a hitch Sept. 14 at Redstone Skate Park as seven divisions of boarders competed for the title of ruler in the Highlands Ranch Metro District contest. Cullen Ratkelis, pictured, won the advanced bowl and advanced mini-bowl titles and placed third in advanced street. Other winners included Olivia Gutierrez (beginner 4-7), Mia Gutierrez (beginner 8-up), Johnny Triebell (intermediate street), Andrew Jussila (intermediate bowl) and Pete Kilbanir (advanced street).

Fine arts faculty issues invitation Show at ACC brings in variety of works By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The Arapahoe Community College fine arts faculty has again invited professional colleagues from the community and other colleges to share its space in the handsome Colorado Gallery of the Arts. The resulting exhibit, “Arapahoe Community Fine Arts Faculty and Friends,” offers an engaging blend of art in individual styles ranging from precise traditional photography to abstract threedimensional works, beautifully crafted ceramics and finely wrought jewelry. Brightly colored mobiles by Jon Koenigsberg catch the light as they hang from the ceiling, drawing the eye to a strong collection of ceramics displayed on pedestals in the gallery center, while walls hold a variety of carefully installed works, arranged by gallery curator Trish Sangelo. Installing an exhibit like this is a challenge, since there is no particular theme — she has to work with what is submitted and some of it arrives late. Color and texture flow quite well as the eye moves across the walls and floor space. Kim Louise Glidden, Littleton potter, teacher and business owner, has injected humor into recent sculptural pieces such as “Still a Stiletto” and “Cradle to the Grave.” Her decorative “Tribal Pole” takes the viewer in another direction. Bob Baker, Jim Cooper and Peter and Susan Stark demonstrate a few of

“Beverly Hills Cop” movie franchise actor and Fort Collins resident John Ashton is about as happy as it gets for someone who has chosen and endured a rather tortured profession. Ashton has ridden the Hollywood roller-coaster especially after finding fame in the Eddie Murphy vehicles “Beverly Hills Cop” and “Beverly Hills Cop II” playing the curmudgeonly Detective Sgt. John Taggart. Ashton, who retreated to a relatively quiet life in Fort Collins years ago because Hollywood felt like an ill-fitting suit, is back in the movie game with “Uncle John,” an independent film where he stars as the namesake character in this murder mystery set in Wisconsin and Chicago. The movie will likely travel to the Sundance Film Festival or, if luck is on their side, first to producer/director David Lynch, who worked with “Uncle John” writer and producer Erik Crary on the film “Inland Empire” in 1996. But Ashton, who earlier this week parted company with his agents, is most fired up about this movie, which he says has brought him back to his original journey to become an actor who does meaningful work. “It’s the best script I’ve read in years,” Ashton told me during a phone interview. “It’s something I’ve been begging my agents for me to do. I read the script and said, ‘Man, I’m on board.’ I don’t think I’m going to work for anybody over 40 anymore.” Like I said, Ashton plays the title character who is a level-headed guy who helps out his neighbors with fix-it jobs in rural Wisconsin. “He’s Uncle John,” Ashton said. “Everybody loves him. He fixes people’s water pipes and cabinet doors. The honesty of the character I loved.”

Have a ball

“The View” co-host Sherri Shepherd and Denver’s own nice rich guy David Mandarich, along with his wife, Bonnie, will be honored for their philanthropic work with the High Hopes Awards during The Children’s Diabetes Foundation Carousel Ball 2013 on Sept. 21 at the Denver Marriott City Center. The Carousel Ball, founded in 1977 in Denver by Barbara Davis and her late husband Marvin Davis, raises money for programs for clinical care and research for more than 6,000 children and adults at the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes.

Pottery by Bob Baker and “Tango” by Travis Ogden lead the eye towards Marsha Wooley’s landscape painting, “Gemini Bridges.” Courtesy photo by Dustin Ellingboe the myriad ways potters glaze and finish their handcrafted work, from Baker’s earthy glazes to the Starks’ multi-colored patterned pieces. Cooper has two intriguing pitchers and a huge olla with subtle glazes. A pair of graceful bronze sculptures, “Tango,” by Travis Ogden, lead the eye to the west wall where Marsh Wooley’s large oil on canvas landscape, “Gemini Bridges” dominates. To its left are a series of J.T. Urband’s interesting industrial graphite drawings. Centered on the east wall is Peter Illig’s pixelated portrait, “Blue Spark.” His website says: “My art works are all analogies for human evolutions and experiences — American psychological

landscapes.” He has taught at Heritage and Chaparral High Schools and area colleges. Randy Burns, who teaches jewelry at ACC, has several beautifully crafted silver pieces, set with gemstones. Other displays would seem to be crafted by a jewelry maker, but are sculptural: Amy Bailey’s three small works and “Life Values” by Yuko Yagisawa. We wish there were information available in the gallery about these obviously accomplished artists. Sangelo said she had requested it, but had only three responses. Fine art is indeed a way of communicating, but a few words can truly enhance the viewer’s experience!

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Strains of “Teach Your Children” play in the background as lights go up on a striking two-story set with old brick apartment walls, hundreds of books and a stairstep bookcase connecting the levels. Curious Theatre opened its 16th season with “After the Revolution” by up-andcoming young American playwright Amy Herzog, a play about generations of a New York Marxist family and a secret that comes to light. Ben Joseph (Gordon McConnell) is talking about the school where he teaches history and social justice, criticizing the principal. His audience is his brother Leo (Mark Collins), on sabbatical working on a book. Enter their assertive mother Vera (Anne Oberbroeckling), who is opinionated, hard of hearing and a wonderfully colorful character. There is talk of the departed Joe Joseph, famous Marxist, father and husband and of his granddaughter Emma, who has started a foundation in his name for social causes.

Lauren Bahlman as Emma Joseph and Jim Hunt as Morty discuss a possible foundation contribution in “After the Revolution” at Curious Theatre. Courtesy photo It seems a new book is coming out from Yale Press that accuses Joe of spying for the Russians, a story Emma doesn’t know. How should they tell her? How will it affect her life and her foundation? Emma Joseph (Lauren Bahlman) and her boyfriend Miguel (Matthew Block) talk about the foundation where he also works

and a campaign to help a black man in prison, accused of shooting a cop. She also meets with a wealthy donor, Morty (Jim Hunt). When Emma arrives at her parents’ home, her father tells her that her grandfather is named as an ideological Communist who gave secrets to Russia in the new book

and that the family won’t contest it because it is true. She is shattered and angry and the story takes off from there, focusing on individual characters’ reactions and responses — and a compelling look at family dynamics as they process a significant period in recent history. Also in the strong cast: Dee Covington as Ben’s compassionate wife and Jessica Roblee as Emma’s sister Jess, who is afflicted by addiction problems. The well-written script takes us through a few days in May and June 1999, with a troubled family of intellectuals, who are swamped by emotional stress, triggered because the family patriarch was blacklisted years earlier. The acting is uniformly strong, thoughtfully directed by Chip Walton. Bahlman and Oberbroeckling particularly stand out. Background music is carefully chosen and lighting enhances the fine set. All in all, a very satisfying evening of theater as we meet a new writer.

Rock Canyon High drama students aren’t afraid of ‘Dark’ Young actors stage classic William Inge drama By Sonya Ellingboe

Mammoth Heights Teacher marries Innovation with Experience to create Primary Innovation Studio

Mammoth Heights Elementary students are learning in a new, innovative environment, thanks to the vision of second grade teacher Mary Lisa Harper, support from the Douglas County School District (DCSD) and a generous grant from the Morgridge Family Foundation. Harper spent the summer designing a classroom that incorporates new concepts in education. Integrating the latest research with her own 20 years of classroom experience, Harper built the Primary Innovation Studio. “I realize that we are moving in education. And to work in the same box that we have been working in for the past decades is just not going to work for today’s kid. We have to move forward and someone is going to have to give it a try,” Harper said. Harper’s first step was to focus on the needs of “digital native” students, those who have grown up with technology, though her classroom is not just about technology. “I think that the shift is more in the teacher than with the technology. I can have five iPads and be teaching with great 21st Century Skills and it could be a 21st Century classroom. We don’t need [a

lot of technology]. The big shift is within. It’s how you approach kids. How you understand that they’re a different breed right now when it comes to learning.”

“There is a space for all of the 4 C’s, that’s how I designed it,” Harper explained. “Creativity, there is the Maker’s

“The big shift is within. It’s how you approach kids. How you understand that they’re a different breed right now when it comes to learning.” — Mammoth Heights Elementary Teacher Mary Lisa Harper

Space. Communication—there is a stage where kids can meet in groups or if they so choose, they can collaborate and communicate with their peers. Critical Thinking—you see with white boards that are lower, with all the technology. And the Collaboration—it’s absolutely everywhere.”

According to Harper, students have a lot more flexibility within the room to find the right niche that supports their learning. This is a big departure from the picture of school most of us are used to – this is a classroom that is driven by student needs. “Certainly as primary teachers, we are used to guiding every single step of the way… that Victorian model is ingrained in us. I have the picture of my aunt in the classroom and she’s teaching. All the kids are sitting in rows. And she is the deliverer of all knowledge. It’s just not like that anymore,” Harper said. “I knew something had to change. My delivery had to start looking different because kids are changing,” Harper added. “Honestly, I was getting bored with the textbook teaching. I knew something was going to have to happen in my career in order to invigorate me to be my best for [the] kids.” Harper hopes that the lessons learned in the Primary Innovation Studio will help teachers at Mammoth Heights Elementary and across DCSD consider new ways to engage students.

Superintendent Dr. Liz Fagen announced plans to pass on $4.5 million in increased available resources to our classrooms in the form of average salary increases totaling $3 million and $1.5 million back to our schools in the form of Student Based Budgeting (SBB). “True to the way that we have budgeted over the past three years, we spend within our means so that we do not ever have to cut our budgets to get back within our reoccurring revenues. Then, when we realize additional one-time or ongoing monies, we immediately put those back into the classroom or our employees,” Fagen said.

Superintendent Fagen drafted a plan to send the money to Douglas County School District (DCSD) classrooms. The plan was unanimously approved by the DCSD Board of Education and also included an average one percent ongoing raise, differentiated for performance, for all DCSD licensed, classified and professional/technical staff, and administrators who were eligible to receive the Board-approved pay increases in May 2013. This is an additional average ongoing pay increase of one percent to the plan that was approved in May 2013. “This is once again a reflection of our vision, our philosophy and our commitment to use every dollar in the classroom, to reduce administrative costs, to use every conceivable dime that we can; to get it to the professionals,” said Board of Education Director Craig Richardson.

DCSD, Community Team to bring students home safely

The convoy

“Safety is a top priority at Douglas County School District and this is truly a shining example of the Douglas County community coming together. We’re thankful to everyone involved - including the families, students, teachers, principal, district leadership, bus drivers, operations team, the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, the YMCA of the Rockies, and the National Park Service - for all their help in getting our kids home safely.” — DCSD Superintendent Dr. Elizabeth Fagen

Last week, a group of 87 sixth graders and six adults were stranded at Estes Park due to the extreme weather. The Pine Grove Elementary (Parker, CO) students were attending a regularly scheduled outdoor education field trip at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park. Due to the extreme weather conditions, the group was not able to return home as scheduled.

The only major road into Estes Park was completely flooded and Trail Ridge Road was the only available alternative to exit Estes Park. Unfortunately, the high, mountain road is only open during the summer months. As DCSD monitored the forecast, it was apparent there was only a brief window of time on Friday when the rain would slow down and make a rescue possible. DCSD and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office contacted the National Park

Service to request that Trail Ridge Road be opened briefly in order to rescue students. Once given permission to enter the park, DCSD dispatched a convoy of 15 SUV’s, two small activity buses, and a service truck to pick up the students and staff. A Douglas County Sheriff’s deputy escorted the group the entire trip. The convoy left at approximately 2:40 p.m. on Friday. All the transportation professionals who were dispatched had trained specifically on Trail Ridge Road. “Throughout the entire process the safety of the staff and students was the primary concern of both the Pine Grove staff and District administration,” said DCSD Superintendent Dr. Elizabeth Fagen. “This was absolutely a team effort,” said Fagen. “The district leadership Continued on page 4

C2E Students hope to lift spirits, benefit Aurora theatre and Sandy Hook victims

Following the July 2012 Aurora theater and December 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary mass shootings, the students at Parker’s Challenge to Excellence Charter School say they experienced a wave of emotions. The sixth-grade students in Glenn Thompson’s class channeled those feelings into something tangible, the creation of a book filled with positive messages.

These Parker, Colorado, students wanted to find a way to reach out to all people and the families that have been affected by these senseless tragedies everywhere. This book is dedicated in particular to the victims and families of the Aurora, Colorado, movie theater shooting and to the victims and families of the Newtown, Connecticut, school shooting.

“Colorado: A New Perspective” includes 71 pages with messages of hope, photographs and drawings by Thompson’s students. After compiling the content, the students decided to publish their work, with the ultimate goal of sending proceeds and a few copies of their book to families of victims in both Aurora and Newtown.

team and Pine Grove Elementary coordinated a community-wide effort to bring our students home safely. We had our best drivers transporting students, our operations team coordinated the trip with the National Park Service and the YMCA of the Rockies; Nutrition Services quickly assembled food and snacks for students; Communications provided information to parents and support for Pine Grove staff; and, the Douglas County Sheriff provided leadership and an escort for the rescue convoy,” continued Fagen. In the interim, the Pine Grove Elementary group was evacuated from the YMCA of the Rockies to a general evacuation point near Estes Park and the convoy met them there. The group arrived home to roars of applause and cheering from overjoyed parents and staff just shy of 1 a.m. Saturday morning.

Brief, shining moment comes to Arvada Familiar play ‘Camelot’ gets extended run

charming version, “The Once and Future King,” which a friend recommended to famous librettist Alan Jay Lerner as a possible next show. Lerner connected with producer Moss Hart and they convinced composer Frederick Loewe to write a score. “Camelot” opened in 1960, running much too long, but was cut enough to succeed on Broadway and become associated with the Kennedy administration. At three hours, it is still too long in the beautifully staged Arvada Center production, but stellar voices, a lovely score, nice choreography and a fine young cast carry the familiar story well. Arthur (David Bryant Johnson), Lancelot (Glenn Seven Allen) and Lady Guenevere (Melissa Mitchell) each carry a personal story into the scene, as do many other characters, such as nasty Scottish Mordred (Aaron M. Davidson) and genial Pellinore (William Thomas Evans, who also begins the legend as the wizard Merlin). Another magical personage is Me-

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews. com One thinks of kings and castles, but Arvada’s remarkable set designer, Brian Malgrave, sets that castle at a dreamy distance and places the action in the surrounding landscape, with gnarly trees and rocks, where it may be a bit cold and damp. Myths about the idealistic King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table have accumulated for a thousand years, and there are numerous Arthur-related locations to attract the historyoriented traveler today. Think of “Camelot” as armchair travel. In 1958, well-loved American writer T. H. White published his

Director Rod A. Lansberry is quoted in the program as not wanting costumes and set to distract from these solid, interesting characters. T.H. White’s delightful sense of humor surfaces regularly as characters interact and interweave plot elements in a legend that is part of our cultural fabric. It’s easy to understand why this musical is so popular after more than 50 years onstage.

a Aspen View Academy classes begin Charter opens with 650 uniformed students By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Fifth-grader Ella Stasiak tugged at her pale blue Aspen View Academy blouse. “It’s just kinda scratchy,” she said. Her friend and neighbor, third-grader Carter Shelton, fiddled with the ends of his blue tie. “I think it’s better to wear uniforms,” he said. “It’s not that hard to get dressed every morning.” Stasiak and Shelton were among 650 uniformed students reporting for their first day of school at Aspen View Academy, Douglas County’s newest school; 200 more students are on a waiting list. That’s an irony for the school’s founder, Jonathan Nye, who was inspired to build Aspen View by years-long waiting lists he found at other Douglas County charter schools. On Sept. 3, his three children were among the hundreds who flowed through the doors for the first time. “I’m elated,” said Nye, a software salesman. “It was really a grassroots movement. We set up a table at the local King Soopers and started passing out fliers. First there were two of us, then 10 people, then 50.” The two-story K-6 charter, eventually designed to serve K-8 students, is in Castle Rock’s Meadows neighborhood. In a unique

Photo by Jane Reuter partnership, the Douglas County School District helped Aspen View secure financing for the school. In exchange, Aspen View accepted some of the children who otherwise would attend overflowing neighborhood schools in the high-growth area. “This school saved two schools in the Meadows from going to four-track,” said Nye, referring to a form of year-round school.

Instead, about 65 percent of Aspen View’s students hail from the Meadows, with another 25-30 percent from elsewhere in Castle Rock. “I don’t know that we’re different,” Nye said. “We just offer a choice for parents. But we’re still a district school. “We’re core knowledge with an emphasis on math, technology and language arts. We’re a big believer in culture and core val-

ues.” Students also will be taught Latin, and placed in groupings that allow them to learn according to their abilities. Another differentiator: The uniforms. On opening day, girls wore blue plaid skirts and pale blue blouses embroidered with the Aspen View Academy name and logo. Boys wore gray pants with pale blue button-down Aspen View shirts; many also wore blue plaid ties that matched the girls’ skirts. It’s a new way of dressing not just for most of the students, but their parents as well. “The uniforms are a new thing,” said parent Karen McConnell, whose oldest son previously attended nearby Clear Sky Elementary. “It’s different. It sounds great, but I guess we’ll see how it goes.” She was unreservedly excited, however, about the new school. Clear Sky “was getting crowded with all the new housing,” McConnell said. “I like the ability-based grouping they offer here.” Staff members shared a similar sense of anticipation. “I couldn’t sleep last night,” said teacher Traci Waters. Assistant principal Jeri Bisbee said Aspen View aims to be the best school in the area. “Everybody’s heart was in this project,” she said. “Folks have moved here from Indiana, Ohio, Illinois (to work). And we have the cream of the crop in terms of our staff. We’re very passionate and very excited.”

Grizzlies growl past Grandview ThunderRidge wins 21-7 in televised game By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com ThunderRidge, top-ranked in the CHSAANow Class 5A football poll, showed a television audience and the rest of the state why the Grizzlies have a contending team again this season. The Grizzlies, a 2012 state playoff semifinalist, notched a convincing 21-7 nonleague victory over No. 4 Grandview in a Sept. 13 showdown at Shea Stadium. ThunderRidge’s offensive line was dominating, the defense led by linebacker Tyler Seno was solid, quarterback Brody Westmoreland and wide receiver Mark Hopper sparked a big-play passing attack and Matt Stanley provided some running punch. “There’s always a learning aspect to every football game,” said Westmoreland. “You have to do what needs to be done to fix the mistakes and come out next week and beat Bear Creek (in a Sept. 21 road

game).” Grandview, now 2-1, had allowed just seven points in its first two victories, and coach John Schultz put faith in the Wolves’ defense by attempting an on-sides kick to open the game. Stanley, however, recovered the kick for ThunderRidge (3-0) and then Westmoreland took over in leading the Grizzlies to their third win of the campaign. Westmoreland completed his first six passes, including 23- and 25-yard hookups with Hooper and a 63-yard completion to Jon Jones as the Grizzlies put TDs on the scoreboard on their first two possessions. Tristan Powers scored the first touchdown on a 1-yard run, and Stanley’s 5-yard plunge into the end zone helped give ThunderRidge a 14-0 lead with 5:02 left in the first quarter. ThunderRidge took a 21-0 lead before Grandview scored with 4:41 remaining in the game. “We came out hard; we knew what we had to do,” said Westmoreland, who was 10-16-0 for 191 yards passing. “We knew what we had to pick up with their blitzes. They are really a hard-nosed football team, especially on defense. Our offensive

line had great communications of what we had to pick up and we came out and hit them in the face. “The big plays definitely kept the momentum on our side. We wanted to carry it on more, we made some bad mistakes on offense here and there, but we’ll learn from it.” Stanley, taking over from Steve Ray who is suspended for the first four games, rushed for 160 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries. “He was mostly a JV guy last season,” acknowledged coach Joe Johnson. “He’s more of a fullback but he’s learning to run at tailback. He is getting better. I’d like to see him break out, score and gain a few more yards when he hits those huge holes. He’s definitely improved each week.” Those huge holes were created by the Grizzlies’ offensive line of Brandan Chase, Blake Jacobs, Daniel England, Sam Jones and Ben Murray. “Our offensive line play is just lights out,” said Johnson. “They are tough. We have some huge, huge holes out there. I give all the credit to those guys for our run game.” Westmoreland and Hopper, teammates

on the Grizzlies’ state championship baseball team, deserve most of the credit for the ThunderRidge aerial attack. Hooper, who also kicks extra points, had six receptions for 112 yards in the game against Grandview. He’s grabbed 15 passes for 298 yards and two TDs in three games. He is averaging 19.87 yards per game. “He’s a very dangerous receiver,” insisted Johnson. “If you are going to commit one man on him, he’s going to hurt you. You are going to have to play zone and get people over on him. If you do that, we’re going to run, and if you don’t, we’re going to throw him the ball.” Westmoreland has completed 27 of 37 passes for 489 yards and four scores this season, plus he has run for 211 yards and three TDs. “There are a lot of things we can do better,” said Johnson. “Our offensive backfield play is one of those things. We have to be a little more balanced in some of the things we do. “We have some receivers that can catch the ball and hurt you. They just need to gain confidence so we don’t always have to throw to Hop.”

Colorado’s wild weather doesn’t silence Liberty Bell Floods keep many schools from attending invitational By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Heritage cross country coaches Lori Lee and Sheri Rossing spent a lot of time scrutinizing weather reports and watching reports of the devastating flooding in some parts of Colorado.

Lee, director for the Liberty Bell Invitational cross country meet, and Rossing made the difficult decision to go ahead and run the event as planned Sept. 13. Instead of the usual 92 teams, only 55 were able to make it. So instead of the usual 4,230 runners, there were 2,500 competing in Littleton. Most teams from Wyoming and Larimer, Boulder and Weld counties were unable to participate. Several Denver-area school districts canceled activities, and teams didn’t

get notification that it was OK to take part until it was too late. “There was a lot of controversy of whether to hold the meet or not,” said Rossing, who was the assistant meet director and head Heritage boys coach. “We felt that the teams that had it on their schedule that could make it, we owed it to them to go ahead and host the meet. “We feel sad there were several teams that couldn’t make it. There were some big powerhouses that couldn’t make it.”

Several coaches and parents were miffed at the decision to run the Invitational as scheduled. “It was either do it for those teams that could make it or cancel it totally,” explained Rossing. “I wish there could have been another time for us to postpone. We couldn’t push it to Saturday because we have churches in our area that have weddings and everything else on Saturdays. Liberty continues on Page 29

Tackling troubles take toll on Jaguars Rock Canyon falls short in football contest with Fountain Fort Carson By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Brian Lamb, the UCLA graduate, had a smile on his face for a while Sept. 14 after the Bruins defeated Nebraska 41-21 in a matchup of nationally ranked college football teams. Brian Lamb, the Rock Canyon High School football coach, wasn’t as happy later that evening as Fountain Fort Carson pinned a 47-16 Pioneer League loss on his Jaguars at Shea Stadium. Rock Canyon saw its overall record dip to 1-2 with the loss in the league opener, and the Jaguars hope to recover Sept. 20 in a homecoming game against Castle View. “We’ll look at the film and figure where we need to improve,” said Lamb.

“We couldn’t do that with the parking. And there was no other weekend to do it because every other team had meets they were going to. You kind of have to go with the flow sometimes because of Mother Nature.” Weather conditions were good for the 18 races that were held in the halfstrength meet, but it was stormy at the finish of the boys Division I race. Albuquerque Academy, which has won 12 New Mexico state boys championships in the past 17 years and seven Liberty Bell titles since 2002, had five runners finish in the top 12, but their actions at the finish line caused officials to disqualify the team. “That was the first time we’ve ever had a team DQ’d,” said Rossing. “It was for their unbelievable, unacceptable behavior after they crossed the finish line. They knocked down part of the chute and it wasn’t just one boy, it was several boys that were involved. With the other kids coming in behind them we were lucky we got times and places for the other kids because of what they did in the chute. Our games committee disqualified them. “Parents and other coaches that were standing there totally agreed with us with what we did. I understand on the MileSplit website there is some controversy and people chiming in and saying we shouldn’t have done all this, but they are dead wrong.” Albuquerque Academy coach Adam Kedge did not appeal the disqualification and the boys were allowed to keep their individual medals. “I felt bad about it but their coach didn’t appeal it,” continued Rossing.

Rock Canyon will attempt to upgrade several parts of its game before meeting the Sabercats in a Pioneer League encounter at Shea Stadium. “We have to work on tackling and we have to get better up front in our line play on both sides of the ball,” said Lamb. “We try to scheme week to week on what is going to give us the most success.” Rock Canyon, which got just three points on two drives inside the Trojans’ 10-yard line early in the game, rushed for only 61 yards against Fountain Fort Carson’s defending league champions. Quarterback Ryan Hommel’s 10-yard scramble in the fourth quarter was the Jaguars’ longest run from scrimmage. Hommel, who sat out a 14-0 loss to Arvada West Sept. 5 with an injury, was 13-25-1 for 287 yards and two touchdowns. Austin Kortum caught six passes for 68 yards and a TD while Jack Lamb hauled in four passes for 119 yards and a score.

“We have to stop blitzes better and when they end up in our backfield we are in trouble,” said Lamb. “That’s the bottom line. Ryan did all right.” Fountain Fort Carson had 430 yards total offense, including 370 yards rushing. Drew Harris finished with 280 yards on 17 carries and had TD runs of 62, 91 and 68 yards. On two of Harris’ long scoring sprints, he appeared to be stopped near the line of scrimmage but broke away from arm tackles. The Trojans averaged 9.1 yards per rush. “We didn’t tackle very well,” admitted Lamb. “You have to tackle. We have to keep working and try to get better.” Rock Canyon had three turnovers, leading to two Trojan touchdowns. Noah Parker, a 5-foot-7, 160-pound goalie on the lacrosse team, was in on 12 tackles for the Jaguars from his defensive back position. “They wore us down,” said Lamb. “They were a physical team. We have to get bigger and stronger in a hurry.”

“He knew it was appropriate with what we did. He knew what they did was wrong. I feel so bad for him. You don’t come into the finish line like that and knock things over, curse like they did. “We let the kids keep their medals but we didn’t give them the trophy. We are going to go ahead and order new medals. This is costing us money. Losing 37 teams with their entry fees, we are going to refund their money. Now we are going to have to go buy new medals because of what happened and send those out to the other kids.” Arapahoe senior Louis Hood, who finished second in the boys Division 1 race with a time of 15:53, was listed as the champion after the disqualification of Albuquerque’s Kyle Carrozza. “This has been my best season so far,” said Hood. “I kind of like to race for time. I like to get as far up as I can in the standings and try to beat people. The conditions were beautiful, not too hot.” Douglas County’s Jake Lucero was credited with a second-place finish in 16:11, while Arapahoe’s Mason Brevig, Nick Petersen and Nick Moore came in sixth, seventh and 10th to give the Warriors the Division I team title. Arapahoe coach Chuck Lutz was surprised when he saw his team accepting the first-place trophy. “I was so focused on all the races that were going on that it wasn’t until I saw the boys on the risers and they handed us the first-place hardware,” said Lutz. “Then I started to get a little bit of information funneled in about a disqualification. “I think my guys ran super. They had a great race. They really had a great nice pack. Louis had an excellent race. It was the first time he ever gone

sub-16. We ran a perfect score in both the JV races. In the open race, which is not scored, we had another perfect score. Those two races were all Arapahoe.” Arapahoe’s Emily Wolf was third in the girls Division I race with a time of 18:23 and the Warriors were sixth in the team standings in the race won by the Albuquerque Academy girls. Jake Blackburn of Rock Canyon ran sixth in the boys Division 2 competition with a time of 16:22, and the Jaguars’ Phoebe Schneider was fourth in the girls race in 18:45. Heritage, paced by Zach Polonsky’s 12th-place finish, won the boys Division 2 race with Rock Canyon coming in second and ThunderRidge third. Pine Creek won the girls Division 2 race with ThunderRidge second, Rock Canyon fourth and Heritage sixth. “The boys are coming along and doing a great job,” said Rossing. “They are getting better and better each week which is exciting. Zach is a senior and he really stepped forward. He really took control of our pack. He had an exceptional race. The other kid that had an exceptional race was Lee Mahoney, who really stepped up as my fifth runner. It was because of him and Zach that we won.” Despite headaches involved with hosting the meet, Rossing praised the Cheyenne Mountain team for helping with the cleanup that also included the Heritage team. “It was so cool that the Cheyenne Mountain kids came over and helped us tear down the chutes at the end of the meet,” said Rossing. “That was a lot of work. Without even being asked, that team stepped forward. I’ve been coaching for 33 years now, I’ve never had a team pitch in and clean up at the Liberty Bell.”

Confidence serves Golden Eagle well Mountain Vista’s Senthilvel thriving on tennis court

‘He has worked very hard and I believe that he can do anything he sets his mind to when it comes to tennis and life.’

By Jim Benton

Coach Jim Flanigan

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Vignesh Senthilvel’s confidence and aggressive play is being displayed on the tennis court this season. Senthilvel, Mountain Vista’s No. 1 singles player, is unbeaten in Continental League matches and his only loss came to Denver East’s Kai Smith in the finals of the West Slope Open in Grand Junction. “I’ve tried to play a little bit more consistent this season and take a few more risks and I guess that’s been an advantage because I’ve been playing pretty well,” said Senthilvel. “I feel a lot more confident.” Senthilvel lost only one league match last year and that was to eventual state champion Hayden Sabatka of Highlands Ranch. However, he lost both his matches in the Class 5A state tournament. “From last year to this year, I definitely feel a lot more confident with how I’m playing,” explained Senthilvel.

“Last year I didn’t really feel well even though I was winning. This year I’m really feeling well when I’m playing.” Mountain Vista coach Jim Flanigan has seen a difference in the play of his top player. “I think that Vignesh’s ability to attack his opponent and not just sit back and wait for him to make a mistake has improved dramatically,” said Flanigan. “He also has improved his serves so that his opponent cannot take advantage of it. “He is a very smart player who always has a game plan. When he was younger he did not always have a game plan when he was playing.” When he was younger, Senthilvel played soccer. “I did play soccer a lot but we would always lose,” said Senthilvel. “The reason I like tennis is it’s all on you.

FREE Countywide, multi-product recycling event on Oct. 5

If you win, you deserve all the credit. If you lose, it is all your fault. You can learn from your mistakes. You don’t have to rely on anyone else.” Senthilvel has a few goals this season. “I’m hoping I can be first-team allconference, which is the best record in the league,” he said. “I’m hoping I do well in state, remain healthy, focused and stay true to my game.” He’s worked to develop his game. “I have worked on my serve,” he said. “I used to double fault a lot and I have cut down on that and that’s been a huge improvement for me. “I’ve worked on my ground strokes. I typically play from the baseline out. I’ve been trying to get more aggressive and finish off points earlier, seeing an opportunity and going for it.” Flanigan has hopes that Senthilvel can
