Transparency the tone of town hall meetings Douglas County School District reﬁnes survey process with input from community

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com In July, the Douglas County Board of Education approved up to $220,000 for Corona Insights, a Denver-based research and strategy firm, to conduct an extensive community survey. Kevin Raines, president of Corona

Insights, asked community members at a recent town hall event at Castle View High School “not to hold it against us.” “We don’t expect one survey to end the debates you’re having,” Raines said at the Aug. 25 meeting. “But our hope is that it will inform all sides of the issues so that everyone is working from the same common ground of knowledge.” Corona kicked off what will be a sevenmonth data and information gathering process with a series of town hall meetings at district schools where parents and community members asked questions

about the process and gave input about what they would like to learn from the survey. The six meetings were held between Aug. 18 and Aug. 31. Corona also hosted another series of town hall events open only to employees. Community members have been calling for a districtwide survey for several years, With tensions and questions arising over the effectivness of reform measures implemented by the school board, community members have been calllng for a districtwide survey for several years.

HEADED FOR VICTORY

The town halls focused on the community answering two questions: “What is your vision of DCSD in the future?” and “What information do we need to get there?” “The town hall process was really designed to open the discussion with the community so that they would have input into the process,” said Jess Stainbrook, the district’s community relations director. “We’re trying to draw a line in the sand and really move forward.” Survey continues on Page 18

Wounded detective showing progress Dan Brite was shot by a man the sheriff’s ofﬁce says was suicidal By Kyle Harding and Chris Rotar Staff writers Doctors were seeing “promising progress” by the detective who was hospitalized after being shot by a man authorities say was acting in a suicidal manner before being killed in an exchange of gunfire with law enforcement. Dan Brite, a 2½-year veteran of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, underwent surgery at Parker Adventist Hospital the night of Sept. 2 before being moved to the Brite facility’s intensive care unit. He remained in critical condition but was “responding to stimulus” on Sept. 4, two days after he was shot near a Parker middle school, a sheriff’s office spokesman said. Shooting continues on Page 9

A glimpse of the people in our community

CHARLES “CHUCK” THOMAS Resident of Highlands Ranch since 1983 About me I’m almost a native Coloradan. I was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, but it was during World War II. When my family came back to Colorado I was just a few months old. I grew up around Morrison and went to Bear Creek elementary and middle school. I went to Mullen High School and then went on to Colorado State University for a veterinary degree. I didn’t finish school and ended up coming back to Denver and working construction, which I did until I retired in 2010. I have a wife, Gina, and we have two daughters. Most of their childhood was spent in Littleton. We moved to Highlands Ranch when they were in school. Unfortunately, at the time there was no middle or high schools in Highlands

The early days We moved to Highlands Ranch in June of 1983. We didn’t like to see it change. The house we built was one of the only ones in Stoney Point — in the Northridge area. It was really nice and peaceful. We could sit on our back deck at night and listen to the cattle up at the ranch. There were very few houses and very few people here. We hoped it would stay that way — but we knew it wouldn’t. Back then, Mission Viejo put on the July 4 fireworks show right by our house — we could sit on our porch and see it right above our heads. We still live in the same house. We like it very much — our backyard faces the baseball fields at Northridge. A fond memory I liked the fact that Highlands Ranch was so rural. It was a working cattle ranch. I grew up on a farm so that kind of environment really appealed to me. It was extremely quiet because there wasn’t very much traffic. There was no C-470 or Broadway. When construction of those roads started, it was exciting. It became easier to get around. If you have suggestions for My Name Is..., contact Alex DeWind at adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Grand Teton National Park rangers have found the body of a missing hiker they believe is from from Highlands Ranch. At 7 p.m. on Sept. 4, a helicopter search team located a body that matched the description of 21-year-old Rene Dreiling on the north side of Mount Owen, the second highest peak in the Teton Range of Wyoming. The body was found on a rocky cliff band beneath steep snowfields, a media release from the park says. Dreiling attended Valor Christian High School before transferring to Mountain Vista High School, from where he graduated in 2014, according to his Facebook page. He ran track and field and finished second in the 4x100 meter relay in two meets during his senior year, the high school sports website MaxPreps shows. A quote in the About Me section of his Facebook page says “My life is a gift that I treasure.” Dreiling was working his second summer season at Grand Teton Lodge Co., which operates hotels, campgrounds and activities in the park. He was reported

missing Sept. 2 after he did not show up for a shift at one of the park’s lodging areas. He was last seen hiking along one of the park’s lakes on Aug. 31, according to the media release. He planned to hike or climb in the Teton Range, which has several mountain peaks of varying difficulty. The search for Dreiling involved approximately 100 people, according to a Facebook post from Grand Teton National Park. “We extend our thoughts and prayers to Rene’s family, and to Grand Teton Lodge Company,” Grand Teton National Park Superintendent David Vela said in the post.

Board doesn’t accept Benevento’s resignation

Two-term director announced last month his intention to step down

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com District E will be without a voice on the Douglas County Board of Education longer than expected after the board did not formally accept Doug Benevento’s resignation in a 3-3 vote at a special meeting Sept. 6. The district encompasses Lone Tree, Acres Green, Castle Pines and eastern Highlands Ranch. Benevento Technically, the vacancy for the board position has not yet occurred since the resignation was not accepted.

Benevento announced Aug. 17 he was resigning effective immediately. He made his announcement public in a self-written opinion piece in a Denver media outlet as well as privately to school board President Meghann Silverthorn the same day. Benevento, who did not attend the Sept. 6 meeting, said he was resigning because he had accomplished what he set out to do in his seven years on the board and didn’t believe there was much else that could be accomplished before the 2017 board election. Silverthorn notified the other board members of Benevento’s resignation via email the day she was notified but did not forward his one-sentence resignation letter, she said. While Silverthorn, board Vice President Judith Reynolds and James Geddes voted to approve the resignation, board members Wendy Vogel, David Ray and Anne-Marie Lemieux voted not to ac-

“There is nothing that has been done outside of state statute or board policy,” Silverthorn said. “He had resigned. He submitted a letter of resignation on Aug.17, and so that is where we find ourselves.” Silverthorn asked Vogel, “What criteria would remove your concerns about this resolution?” “That we follow policy and we follow the law,” Vogel replied. Silverthorn said the resolution followed both. “It’s not about the wording of the resolution. It is about the procedure and how this went about in the sense that we did not get a written resignation from Director Benevento,” Vogel said. “It is your duty as the president to get that to us when it was given to you by him.” When asked if she would support the resolution after being given the written

cept it. The three opposing board members expressed concerns that Benevento had given up his seat early in order to strategically give a replacement a year on the board and an advantage in the next election. They said they had not received the resignation in writing, which they said did not follow board procedure. Three years into his second term, Benevento has been a strong supporter of school choice and pay-for-performance for teachers as a member of the reform-minded majority on the board, which includes Silverthorn, Reynolds and Geddes. Benevento, an attorney who lives in Highlands Ranch, was first elected in 2009 and re-elected in 2013. Silverthon sent each board member the letter of resignation via email on Sept. 6, before the vote to accept the resignation. She also had a physical copy that she offered to share with any of the board members.

Light rail bridge construction underway in Lone Tree RTD closes lanes on RidgeGate Parkway

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Construction on RidgeGate Parkway began Sept. 1, restricting traffic to outer right lanes 24 hours a day as the building of a light rail bridge to a new station at the southeast corner of RidgeGate Parkway and I-25 in Lone Tree gets underway. The bridge is part of the Southeast Rail Extension Project, connecting a 2.3-mile stretch between Lincoln Station — north of Lincoln Avenue and I-25 — and RidgeGate. Left lane restrictions will be in place seven days a week between Havana Street and the northbound ramps for I-25. Far right lanes will remain open through-

out the project’s duration. In an email, Marta Sipeki, spokesperson for RTD’s FasTracks program, said the expanded system will give commuters an alternative to sitting in traffic jams on I-25. “Riders will have increased accessibility, improved mobility and connectivity,” she said. “People from throughout the metro area will have an option to travel to the employment centers in the RidgeGate area via light rail.” The expansion project includes the construction of two other stations — a Kiss-n-Ride at Sky Ridge Avenue near Sky Ridge Medical Center and a station at the future Lone Tree City Center east of I-25 — in addition to the 1,300-space Park-n-Ride at RidgeGate Parkway. “All three stations will be within walking distance of more than 500 acres of new mixed-

used, commercial and residential development,” Sipeki said. The extension will include a 620-foot-long bridge over Lincoln Avenue, a 1,397-foot-long bridge over I-25 and a 506-footlong bridge over RidgeGate Parkway. Construction costs are estimated at $233.1 million. Of that amount, the city of Lone Tree, Douglas County, Coventry Development Corp. and the Southeast Public Improvement District will provide $25 million in cash and an estimated $3 million in rightof-way and land permits. The Federal Transit Administration provided a $92 million capital investment grant for the project and RTD’s investment is $71 million. Remaining costs will be covered by $7.5 million in federal funds from the Denver Regional Council of Governments.

‘It’s all like a family’ Assisted living pioneer retires after more than 25 years By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Meeting over coffee and doughnuts after church in 1989, three nurses — Pat Logue, Jeanne Schwarz and Teresa McWilliams — talked about the need for an assisted living facility in the Castle Rock area. “We thought it was sad that people who were getting on in years had to go all the way to Denver or Colorado Springs,” Logue said. “We recognized the need, and that we needed to do something about it.” The trio opened the doors to the Cantril House in 1992, taking a concept that was largely unheard of in the Douglas County area and growing it into a company with three facilities in Castle Rock and Parker. Schwarz and McWilliams moved on to other endeavors years ago. And on Aug. 31, after more than 25 years with the company they started, Logue is moving on, too. Logue and her partners began researching and fundraising for Cantril House in 1989, at a time before the term “assisted living” was as familiar as it is now. In addition to securing funding and working with a mentor in Loveland to learn the business, Logue said they had to educate the public get them on board with the idea. “We were newbies… Nowadays people know what assisted living is, so there’s no problem,” Logue said. But at the time “people didn’t know what to expect… We had to educate people in the neighborhood who were worried that there would be people wandering into their houses.” Neighbors’ fears, they said, were soon put to rest. Cantril House opened with two residents, serving 12 seniors well before its first year of operation ended, Logue said. In 1996, the company opened another Castle Rock center, the Valley House, and the Victorian House in Parker followed in

1999. The company now serves 54 people, and more than 650 have stayed at one of the three facilities since 1993. People from all walks of life have come through the facilities’ doors, and Logue said those people are what she will miss the most. “It’s all like a family,” she said. “These residents all have a way of bringing you so much joy that you just want to be around them. They’ve led such interesting lives.” Logue smiled as she reminisced about especially memorable residents, including twin sisters who “lit up the room” in their five years at Cantril House. She teared up remembering another, former Castle Rock reporter Mildred Brodbeck, who recently died. “She always said she was going to be in room number one,” Logue said. “And she was… It was just an honor to know her.” Current resident Mary Jane Rice said the residents Logue served will miss her as much as she misses them. “She is always friendly, always smiling,” Rice said. “She always had time for us.” After retirement, Logue and her husband, William, plan to travel across the United States, biking, sightseeing and, along the way, visiting her five children, 16 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. They sold their home in Larkspur and bought an RV and traded in their Prius for a Jeep. “I’m a vagabond now,” Logue said. “We’re going to travel the country for a year, then decide what we want to do when we grow up.” Staff members at each facility plan to post maps on the walls, placing pegs on the places Logue and her husband visit to help them stay connected to the employees and residents in Douglas County. Logue said she will come back to visit, too, and she knows the houses she founded will be there to welcome her — and residents — for years to come. “We wanted it to be something that would last forever,” she said. “It’s a good thing that it came together, and it should be around for a long time after I’m gone.”

Tips for a tech-driven world Tech experts weigh in on teens and internet use By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Teenagers are more digitally connected than ever: Three-quarters own or have access to a smartphone, 24 percent go online almost constantly, and 92 percent go online daily, Pew Research Center reports. The digital world is used for a number of activities — from building relationships to accessing schoolwork to online shopping. But it can also be a vulnerable space for teenagers. “You have to think about what information kids have access to,” said Jackie Burhans, managing partner of CMIT Solutions of Denver Tech Center, which specializes in information technology. “They still need to be aware of some of the dangers and risks of using technology.” Burhans and her husband, James Howald, also a managing partner of CMIT Solutions, have extensive experience with internet technology. The duo helps clients recover files, prevent malware and protect servers. They also have a son in high school. “When your dealing with adults, it’s slightly different than when you’re dealing with kids,” Burhans said, “but it’s all about security.” As the school year kicks off, the couple has a few tips for parents and teens immersed in the world of technology. Tips for cyberspace If a hacker gets ahold of an internet user’s credit card number or banking information, it can be reversed and oftentimes resolved, Howald said. That’s not the case with cyberbullying. “The area in technology where I see a lasting, permanent impact on kids is

when they get into a cyberbullying situation on social media,” he said. “Unfortunately, there isn’t a straightforward way to fix this.” Burhans and Howald recommend that parents have an open discussion with teens on what social media sites are active. Some are mainstream, such as Facebook and Instagram. But others are new to the digital sphere, such as Whisper, YikYak and Afterschool — three apps that allow anonymous posting. Anonymous apps are positive in that they let users express themselves, but they are often filled with inappropriate content and can encourage bullying, according to Common Sense Media, a website that provides information on media and technology. If a teenager is being bullied in cyberspace, he or she should keep a record of every detail and talk to an adult, said Douglas County Deputy Jason Blanchard. Blanchard, who also does community outreach, said teenagers know social media sites better than any other generation. “I’m not going to say that one is better or worse than the other,” he said. “Every single one needs to be approached with caution because you can’t guarantee anyone’s identity.” Tips for surfing the web “Think before you click the link” is a term Burhans uses at work and at home. An internet user should always consider where an online link is redirecting him or her to avoid scams or phishing — fraud that involves stealing personal information by posing as a legitimate company. Anti-malware software adds protection by blocking spam, viruses and popup pages on a laptop or desktop. The couple also advises teens to be mindful when online shopping. They say stick to nationally known online vendors, Tech continues on Page 16

Large school districts testing for lead Douglas, Jeffco, Cherry Creek among those looking for evidence of the toxic metal By Ann Schimke Chalkbeat Colorado, chalkbeat.org Colorado’s five largest school districts all have either embarked on or plan to test their schools’ drinking water for lead, taking no chances after the lead-poisoning crisis in Flint, Michigan. While Flint’s problems were caused by local officials’ negligence, the concern in Colorado and most other states involves a different threat — old lead service lines, pipes and fittings. Experts say the risk here is relatively low, but applaud the districts for being proactive. In April, the Douglas County School District was the first big Colorado district to begin testing. In June, Jeffco Public Schools launched a districtwide leadtesting campaign that is still in progress. Denver Public Schools joined the club last week, and Cherry Creek and Aurora are both crafting lead-testing plans to be carried out this school year. So far, results are in for just two districts. In Douglas County, which only tested older schools, no buildings had lead levels above 15 parts per billion, a

yardstick used by the Environmental Protection Agency. In Jeffco, which is testing all schools, nearly half have at least one water source with high lead levels so far. In some cases, it is drinking fountains. In others, it’s mop sinks. Colorado parents have no need to worry about a reprise of what happened in Flint. Problems there were caused by a switch in the city’s water source and officials who failed to add required chemicals to prevent lead from leaching into the water. The issue here and in most states isn’t the quality of water as it leaves the water treatment plant and runs through water mains under city streets. Instead, it’s old lead service lines connecting to homes and schools or lead pipes and fittings inside buildings. A 1986 federal law banned lead in plumbing, but many schools and residences still have pipes or fixtures containing the toxic metal. Experts in Colorado say infrastructure here is generally newer and carries less risk of lead poisoning from drinking water than say, pipes on the East Coast. Still, they laud the increased awareness about lead poisoning, which can severely hamper children’s physical and mental development. “It’s good that school districts are thinking about this,” said Mark Anderson, a pediatrician at Denver Health. “In the

IN DOUGLAS COUNTY In April, the district contracted with an environmental services company to test lead levels in the water at 19 of its 86 schools, with a focus on older buildings. None of the samples came back above the 15-parts-per-billion limit. A mop sink at Acres Green Elementary came back just under, but after a re-test following the replacement of a brass fitting, the lead levels sank well below the limit. The testing cost $2,800. The district’s environmental health manager, Zach Nannestad, decided to conduct lead testing after the Flint scandal erupted last winter. He said he didn’t have specific concerns about lead contamination in Douglas County schools, but wanted all the facts. “I was very pleased with the results we got,” he said.

wake of what’s happened in Flint, they probably don’t have much choice.” School districts aren’t required to test their water for lead unless they’re considered public water systems. That’s the case in some rural districts and on a limited basis in Jeffco, which provides water to six mountain schools. Despite the spate of recent school testing efforts, Anderson and other doctors say that drinking water isn’t typically the culprit in lead-poisoning cases. The risk from filling a water bottle at school every day “would be extremely low,” he said. Flaking lead paint is more likely to poison kids. Anderson said he’s also seen cases of high lead levels tied to lead-

containing jewelry or candy brought in from other countries, stained glass work, shooting ranges and a backyard radiator recycling business. In Jeffco, where lead results have come back high for about 70 schools, parents seem to be taking the news in stride. Heidi Anderson, no relation to Mark Anderson, said she’s glad the district is doing something about it, but isn’t worried about her fourth-grade son’s health. He’s been tested for lead previously during routine doctor check-ups and had normal results, Plus, she said, he and his older sister, now a seventh-grader at a different school, mostly avoided the drinking fountains at Hackberry Hill Elementary anyway. “The water at that school tastes like dirt…so we’ve always made it a point to send them with water,” she said of the Arvada school. “I guess that’s a silver lining to all this.” Kay Slater, who has a kindergartener and sixth-grader at Dutch Creek Elementary in south Jeffco, where two water samples showed elevated lead levels, said many of Jeffco’s buildings are old and desperately need updates. “This is a perfect example of why we need our bond campaign to happen,” she said, referring to the district’s plan to ask voters to approve a $568 million bond and mill levy override proposal, part of which would be used for building improvements. The Denver and Aurora districts also have large bond proposals on the November ballot, with the possibility that some funds will be used to update plumbing.

In House battle, presidential race comes into play Democratic congressional challenger focuses on Trump to fight incumbent in CD-6 By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com While Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, has attempted to distance himself from the party’s presidential candidate in his effort to retain the 6th Congressional District seat, his opponent is making an effort to tie Coffman to Donald Trump’s words. “I don’t care for him much,” Coffman says about Trump at the beginning of a television spot he began Coffman running in August. In the ad, Coffman also says he doesn’t trust Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and vows to stand up to whomever the president is come January. Coffman’s challenger, Democratic state Sen. Morgan Carroll, of Auora, released a statement in response to the ad trying to draw a parallel between Coffman and Trump, saying the congressman has not denounced Trump’s proposals, such as a hypothetical ban on Muslim immigration. While Coffman has made outreach efforts to a constituency that has grown more

Shooting Continued from Page 1

“We are asking for continued prayers for Detective Brite during this critical time in his recovery, and for his wife Christine and their family, as well as the officers involved in this situation,” Sheriff Tony Spurlock said. Thoughts and prayers from the community and law enforcement agencies around the state poured in over Labor Day weekend on social media. A gofundme.com account set up to help the Brite family with expenses raised more than $25,000 in its first 48 hours. Before joining the sheriff’s office in 2014, Brite spent nine years with the Lone Tree Police Department. He was promoted to sergeant there in 2010. The detective is married to Christine Brite, a sergeant with DCSO. Through a sheriff’s office statement, she thanked the community for its support and asked for continued prayers. On Twitter, the Colorado State Patrol shared this message: “Keep fighting Brother in Blue!” Responding to a threat The man suspected of shooting Brite was identified by the sheriff’s office as Randall Rodick, 40, who lived in a Parkerarea home near Sierra Middle School. A neighbor, who declined to be identified, said Rodick seemed like a “nice guy” but also appeared to be under a lot of stress. Brite is a member of DCSO’s Impact Unit, a special squad that works with members of other local law enforcement agencies to solve “crimes that are committed by semi-organized, habitual, or career criminals,” according to the sheriff’s office’s website. The team often targets narcotics and property crimes and performs undercover operations. At about 2:30 p.m. Sept. 2, Brite and other members of the Impact team, dressed in plain clothes, were in the area when the report of a “suicidal subject” was made to the sheriff’s office. Members of the special unit, sheriff’s deputies and officers with the Parker Police Department responded to Rodick’s home in unincorporated northeast Douglas County, near the intersection of East Lookout Drive and North Dixon Drive. Several schools, including Sierra Middle, described by authorities as being “a few hundred yards” from the scene, were placed on lockout status as a precaution.

diverse through redistricting, supporting immigration reform and learning Spanish, the Carroll campaign says the man who once co-sponsored legislation to make English the official language is pandering in a district that is now 20 percent Hispanic. The district encompasses Aurora, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Littleton and part of Adams County, among other areas. “Voters are tired of Mike Coffman’s stale political playbook: saying one thing in Colorado and doing another in Washington,” said Carroll campaign spokesman Drew Godinich. Both presidential candidates are unpopular in the state, but Trump more so than Clinton, with 69 percent of registered voters in a Maris College poll expressing an unfavorable opinion of Carroll him. But 59 percent still find Clinton unfavorable, and the Coffman campaign is painting Carroll as the always-unpopular political insider. “It’s Nancy Pelosi and her Washington, D.C., cronies who are supporting Carroll,” said Coffman campaign spokeswoman Cimamon Watson. Watson said Coffman has worked to better represent his district and built a relationship with its diverse communities. “On any given day, Mike is in all corners of the district listening to people and working hard to find solutions,” she said.

TO HELP DAN BRITE • On Sept. 3, a page was set up on gofundme.com “to help with expenses so (the Brite family) will be supported during this difficult time.” More than $25,000 was raised in the first two days. The page can be found at www.gofundme.com/danielbrite. • Donations can also be made to the Douglas County Fallen Officer Fund, a nonprofit organization that provides assistance to an injured officer or the family members of a fallen officer. Tax-deductible donations can be sent to: Fallen Officers Fund Attn: Sergeant Ron Hanavan 4000 Justice Way Castle Rock CO 80109 A deadly situation The sheriff’s office reports this is what happened next: Officers arrived to find the suspect “carrying weapons and what appeared to be an ammo box between his home” and a recreational vehicle. Then, they heard a gunshot. Rodick took off in the RV and fired shots at officers, hitting Brite. Medics with South Metro Fire Rescue performed “lifesaving measures” while taking Brite to Parker Adventist, a few hundred yards away. Officers returned fire as Rodick, who continued to shoot at them, fled in the RV. Rodick then crashed the vehicle in a vacant lot near the hospital. A responding officer, who has not been identified, shot and killed him. No bystanders or other officers were injured during the incident, according to the sheriff’s office. Stopping a ‘larger-scale incident’ In the hours after the shooting, as Brite underwent surgery, social media was full of messages of support for local law enforcement. “I am grateful to our first responders at (the sheriff’s office) and the heroic role they played in keeping our community safe today,” state Sen. Mark Scheffel, of Parker, said on Twitter. The majority of evidence gathering and witness interviews were complete by the afternoon of Sept. 4, a sheriff’s office spokesman said. No motive for Rodick’s actions has been released. “The suspect was highly armed and extremely dangerous and it is clear to me these officers likely prevented a largerscale incident that could have endangered more officers and citizens had he not been stopped,” Spurlock said. “I’m very proud of them.”

TILTING AT WINDMILLS

In late June, a neighbor informed the Highlands Ranch Metro District that the superstructure of the historic windmill had toppled over following a storm. The windmill sits atop the grassy hill south of the Highlands Ranch Mansion and north of Mountain Vista High School. It is about 100 years old and its vanes and mechanisms have been replaced several times over the years, said Metro District staff. The windmill’s superstructure is scheduled to be repaired by the end of this year. Photo by Jerry Healey

Area schools put on lockout Some parents at Sierra Middle School did not receive district communications By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com An active-shooter situation a few hundred yards away prompted a lockout at Sierra Middle School on Sept. 2. At about 2:30 p.m., law enforcement officers responded to a report of an armed and “suicidal” man in a neighborhood near Sierra Middle, 6651 East Pine Grove Lane, Parker. The suspect would shoot a detective with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office before being killed by a responding officer. No students were harmed. Based on information from Sierra Middle officials, the Douglas County School District sent messages to families at 3:05 p.m. and 4:35 p.m. and a final message at 6:30 p.m. During an emergency, the district communicates with parents by sending text messages. The district used the messaging system to make parents aware that there was a lockout and to notify them when it was lifted during the situation near Sierra Middle. But several parents said they did not receive two of the message sent by the school. “Our protocol has been to support schools, empowering school leaders to lead crisis response at their buildings, including communication. As usual, district communications reaches out and offers and provides support, as requested,” DCSD posted on its Facebook page Sept. 2. “ In this case, this included messaging that was used by schools during the lockout and after. We will review this case to determine what changes are needed to ensure parents receive timely information. We regret that we did not meet our standard for emergency communication today and are committed to resolving the issue.” Later in the evening Sept. 2, interim school district Superintendent Erin Kane sent a letter to Sierra families thanking law enforcement for their quick response and keeping students safe. She also addressed the fact that some families did not receive the district’s communications during the incident. “Unfortunately, I know that our communication efforts this afternoon were not as effective,” Kane wrote. “We have

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOCKOUT AND LOCKDOWN Lockout During a lockout, the perceived danger is outside of the school. School administrators move all students and activities inside and ensure the building’s perimeter is secured. A lockout allows for educational practices to continue with little classroom interruption or distraction. Schools in Douglas County operate daily in a near-lockout situation. Perimeter doors are locked and visitors are screened at the building’s entrance. Generally, at elementary and middle schools, visitors are expected to ring a door bell to be buzzed in and then need to sign in at the office. At high schools, security personnel generally greet visitors. Lockdown During a lockdown situation, the perceived danger is inside the building When a lockdown is announced, classroom doors are locked, lights are turned off and students are moved away from windows and doors. Students are encouraged to remain quiet. Source: Douglas County School District

heard from a good number of Sierra parents who did not receive the emergency communication sent by the school during the crisis. The district communication and IT departments are working with the school to determine where the breakdown occurred in the system. We are also examining our communication protocols for this type of situation. “I want you to know that we take this extremely seriously. Having a middle school daughter myself, I can only imagine how scary it was for those who were waiting for their children without information about what was going on. We will all be working over the next few days to determine how we can ensure, going forward, that all DCSD parents receive timely information in the event of an emergency such as today.” Parents can make sure they are signed up for emergency text alerts by logging into the Infinite Campus Parent Portal at campus.dcsdk12.org and clicking on “Contact Preferences” in the left-hand column. It is important parents have an up-to-date phone number on record in order to be contacted.

The right way to do a ‘to-do’ list As I attended a training session and workshop around accountability and goal setting last week, the facilitator took the class through a few very interesting exercises. And as many times as I have either attended such workshops in the past or have even taught or coached on the topic, I realized that I was either not doing the behaviors that had brought me success in the past, or I had stopped doing them for some reason. Now my “to-do” list is not the issue. I still write down my “To-Do” list the night before or early in the morning before my day gets started. But there were a few problems that became very apparent as I realized where I started cutting corners. The first problem was that I stopped writing down the “why” next to each item on my “to-do” list. Understanding the “why” is so important in helping to prioritize what really needs to get done. As I sat in the class and flipped back through my notebook at my “to-do” lists from the past month or so, I realized that my lists just kept getting longer and longer with no and I was just muscling my way through what needed to get done. Some days I had more than 30 items on the

list, and only got to 10 or 15 things. Now part of me says that I should feel a sense of accomplishment for getting those 10 to 15 things done, but on the other hand there were 15 to 20 things that I didn’t get done. The second problem was that I stopped atMichael Norton taching the items on my WINNING “to-do” list to my personal and professional WORDS goals. The “why” helps in addressing that, but the more specific that we can be when we set our goals, take daily action toward the achievement of those goals, and then have the discipline and commitment to actually do what needs to get done, the more meaningful our “to-do” list becomes. And the result is that we move closer to reaching our goals. The third problem, and maybe the biggest problem. was that I realized I stopped delegat-

ing where I could. I stopped listing the names of people who could help me or who I could ask to take over a project or opportunity. I developed a mentality that I would load up my list and I will conquer everything on my own. Maybe you are a list maker too, maybe not. If you are, I would encourage you to remember to write down the “why” next to each item on your list; take a less-is-more approach and focus on the most important items; attach the item on your “to-do” list to a specific goal, whether that goal is a near term goal or long term goal; and lastly, write down who you may be able to ask for help or delegate a task to. How about you? Are you making lists for the sake of making lists? Do you have a very concise list that is tied to your goals and dreams? Either way I would love to hear all about how you organize your “to-do” lists at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can learn to manage what we do with our “to-do” lists, it really will be a better than good week.

tion: “...Fishing is about moral values and decency…It’s part of the fabric of our society… There’s nothing much immoral that’s going to happen when you’re trying to catch a fish. It’s legal, it’s honorable, and it’s fun…Trying to catch a fish teaches youngsters the value of working toward a goal, that sometimes doesn’t go our way, that’s how life works … Anglers are pretty good people … people of decent respectable values that can constructively teach young people by showing them … What better way is there to show a young boy or girl how to enjoy a good, valued day in nature’s environment safe from drugs, crime, being harmful to others or tempted mischief.” It seems very clear, while most likely coincidental, CASA (the Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Adams & Broomfield Counties and Bassmasters have a similar mission, a similar perspective. The CASA volunteers carry a significant mantle for young children who have suffered from abuse and neglect. This nonprofit group of judicial, legal and community leaders support and stand strong with young children as they move through the judicial and legal system of care and protection. CASA recruits and professionally trains volunteer advocates, who are assigned by court judges to be a voice for CASA children. Lindsay Lierman, executive director of CASA serving the 17th Judicial District in Adams and Broomfield Counties, and program director Vickie Ricord highlighted specific programs and outcomes as examples of the Hellbusch continues on Page 11

Low-maintenance name just does its job Over breakfast coffee, a friend asked me, “Bessie Smith, Kate Smith or Patti Smith?” I said, “Is it a slow news day?” It’s never a slow news day anymore, now that current events travel in a heartbeat. It’s never slow enough to write a column about the most common last name in the United States. Or is it? I don’t think you look here for the news. Maybe to be removed from the news for a few minutes. Jennifer asked me if I ever regretted having a one-syllable name, which I thought was a brilliant question. We were having a conversation about regrets. My biggest one is a complete disconnection from music, other than listening to it. Hers is something that will remain between us. I said that I had sometimes wished my last name were something other than Smith. It is easy to pronounce and it is easy to spell. It is the most common last name in the United States, and ahead of second place Brown by over half a million. Everyone knows at least one Smith. On the other hand, I’m not sure there is a single Smith in the Middle East. Sure, I have thought about a more distinctive name.

I know a number of people who have changed their names. And if a woman marries, she can go from a Pfaltzgraff to a less unmanageable name just by saying “I do.” I have named a number of of pets Craig Marshall Smith and paintings, but no one asked me QUIET I wanted for DESPERATION what a last name. Or what I wanted for a first name. I only have four syllables in my entire name. Some of us get nicknames. Nicknames slid off of me. All but one - Smitty - which I passed on to my dog. It fits him more than it fits me. There are, of course, pages of famous Smiths, like Bessie, Kate and Patti. Kate has been mostly forgotten, even though she once had her own television program. Katharine Hepburn married a man named Smith, but refused to have her name Smith continues on Page 11

Brooks, 3, hides out in the tire of an electric red tractor at South Suburban’s Touch-a-Truck event on Sept. 3. The piece of machinery was one of many in the parking lot of South Suburban Ice Arena, 6580 S. Vine St., Centennial. Mike Warren and his 3-year-old son, Hosea, spent Sept. 3 at the parking lot of South Suburban Ice Arena, 6580 S. Vine St., Centennial, for the fifth annual Touch-a-Truck extravaganza. “This is great,” Warren said. “He loves seeing all the trucks.” When asked what piece of machinery was his favorite, Hosea responded, “The fire truck.” It was a common answer among the young attendees. The free event, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., gave kids the chance to explore a variety of machinery, including trucks, tractors, emergency vehicles and a Zamboni that made piles of snow on the cement. It was the perfect photo op for parents and grandparents. Touch-a-Truck usually has between 600 and 800 guests, said Dirk Doty, recreation coordinator of South Suburban. “It’s fun for all kids, all ages,” Doty said, “and it gives families something to do over Labor Day weekend.”

importance of child advocacy by the CASA volunteers. “Ninety percent of children ages 3-5 in foster care with a CASA volunteer in Adams and Broomfield Counties are enrolled in early childhood education, compared to 46 percent in foster care nationwide,” Lierman pointed out. And “99 percent of children in foster care with a CASA foster home in the 17th Judicial District graduate high school by age 18, compared to 27.5 percent across Colorado,” Ricord noted. CASA balances the guidance by the volunteer advocates and the challenge children deal with through the courts with seeking the elements of a normal kid’s life. Development director Ken Parks indicated the board of directors and staff develops a wide variety of activities in which the children and foster parents can take part. “For example,” Parks noted, “children can enjoy seasonal events, such as the upcoming fall festival and holiday party. In addition CASA volunteer advocates often

A Smith captained the Titanic, and a Smith was one of Charlie’s “Angels.” The name doesn’t conjure anything like Picasso does. Or Da Vinci. It just sort of sits there, quietly, with its hands folded across its lap, without, well, making a name for itself. Take Shakespeare. Take Dickens. Take Hemingway. Now those are names.

enjoy outings together with their CASA children, a walk in the park, and a visit to an ice cream shop, or working together on homework.” Such was the day of fun for the kids last June 10 when the CASA team hosted a “Fishing Day” at Ketner Reservoir in Westminster’s Kensington Park. Local businesses showed their support. Cabela’s donated fishing rods and reels and Walmart supplied the food. Westminster’s park staff, police and fire personnel spent time fishing and conversing with the kids. CASA staff provided a tasty barbecue and this columnist had the privilege of coordinating the event. Professionally trained CASA volunteer advocates represent more than 500 children annually in the two counties, and the organization looks to provide advocates for an additional 600 children who deserve support, encouragement, a normal life and someone close who cares. A call to CASA at 303-654-3378 could open a door and your heart to that good feeling of sharing, a sense of making a difference in a child’s life and, possibly, an extraordinary day fishing with a new young friend.

WHY GET RID OF GLUTEN? Reasons for going glutenfree vary, and the science is still out on some of the health effects of eating gluten. The medical community has established a clear cause between gluten and celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity, also known as gluten intolerance. Anecdotal evidence makes the case that a gluten-free diet can alleviate many symptoms. Highlands Ranch nutritionist Denise DeRosier says many of her clients tell her they have improved energy levels, reduced joint pain and see better behavior in their children after going gluten-free. She also said that for people dealing with the inflammation of multiple sclerosis or digestive problems associated with chemotherapy, “gluten is just adding fuel to the fire.” Angela Baird of Parker is another certified nutritionist who lists numerous health benefits from eliminating gluten. She says she’s had clients suffering from depression, fatigue, skin rashes, migraines, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome and other symptoms who have all seen their issues disappear after removing gluten. Baird says she has had “one or two (clients) out of the few hundred” she’s seen who didn’t report improvement, but she’s quick to point out she isn’t certain that they completely eliminated the substance from their diet. “I always tell people to give it two weeks of your life and just see if you feel better,” she says. “Everyone can do something for two weeks.” — Tom Skelley

Gluten Continued from Page 12

Though it may be a healthier choice for some to eat gluten-free meals, DeRosier said she doesn’t advertise her cooking as gluten-free when she entertains. “I don’t say ‘Come over for this glutenfree meal’ because the expectation is that it’s going to taste awful,” she said. “After dinner, I’ll say ‘By the way, it also happens to be gluten-free.’ “ Adapting your taste Chris Lehn owns Yumbana Shoppe in Castle Rock. After he, his wife and sons tested positive for gluten sensitivity, they quickly became dissatisfied with glutenfree fare in grocery stores. Lehn took matters into his own hands. “Unfortunately, as a gluten-free person you find yourself adapting your taste to what’s available instead of the other way around,” Lehn said. “Our goal was to make a product that is as good or better as you remember as a non-gluten-free person.” Focusing on wholesale and online shoppers, Yumbana Shoppe has made a name for itself producing a variety of pies, cakes and cookies, not to mention the “yummy banana” bread that helped Lehn arrive at the company’s name. Yumbana products are on King Soopers shelves and Lehn said he is “knocking on the door” of Safeway and other grocery stores. Being in large-scale distribution keeps Lehn from meeting many customers, Lehn said. But feedback at the recent Taste of Douglas County and Incredible Edible Gluten-Free Food Fair in Denver has been “very, very positive.” “We literally saw hundreds of people come by, and we could hear some of them whispering about us before they got to the booth,” he said. “It was really encouraging.” He added that many parents thank him for offering treats their children otherwise wouldn’t be able to enjoy, like birthday cake and snacks for school. From behind the counter of her brickand-mortar bakery, Letson said she’s heard the same comments from parents and other customers. Gluten Escape makes a variety of baked goods, from pastries to pizza dough to pretzels, and Letson said she often makes special recipes based on customer suggestions written on an “idea board” in the shop. “We’re not here to push a product on anyone,” she said. “We’re here to try to give people what they want.” Customer loyalty is a point of pride with Letson. She said she received 80 to 100 calls a day when the store experienced a recent hiatus as it transitioned from its old location in the Denver Tech Center to the Centennial store. Letson was surprised, she said, when customers drove through blizzard conditions to receive free balls of pizza dough and pumpkin pies before the reopening. She couldn’t sell the items at the time without a health department license, so she asked her erstwhile customers to donate as they saw fit to the St. Francis Center in Denver instead. Her customer retention since reopening in December has been over 80 percent, Letson said.

“When someone can go to Walmart and get gluten-free products,” she said, “that says a lot.” Not ‘just a phase’ Like most trends, the popularity of the gluten-free diet has attracted criticism, and detractors wonder if the gluten-free diet is more about money than medicine. Dr. Patrice Michaletz-Onody, a gastroenterologist with Rocky Mountain Gastroenterology, said unless a patient has celiac disease or NCGS, there are no proven benefits to eliminating gluten from their diet. “People have gone crazy saying you’ll be cured of everything if you go off gluten,” she said. “The only thing you’ll cure for certain is celiac.” That said, she added there are no nutritional benefits to eating gluten, either. “If people come in and they’re doing something that improves their symptoms — they’re pretty happy, they’re improving their quality of life — there’s no reason to put it back in their diet,” Michaletz-Onody said. “There’s nothing beneficial from it.” One aspect of the gluten-free diet that

isn’t in dispute is its cost. Consumer Reports released a study in November 2014 that found a vast difference in the cost between gluten-free foods and their counterparts. Examples from the study are Duncan Hines regular brownie mix, which costs about 8 cents per serving, while Betty Crocker’s gluten-free mix costs 28 cents per serving. The per-serving cost of Nabisco’s Multigrain Wheat Thins is 31 cents, but the company’s gluten-free Sea Salt & Pepper Rice Thins are 57 cents per serving. DeRosier said she sometimes meets people who ask whether it’s all just a ploy to sell trendy, expensive food products. “I do have people who will come up to me at parties and ask if it’s all just a big marketing scam,” DeRosier said. “That’s when I try to explain to people that it isn’t just a phase.” Lehn said he has some of the same conversations but isn’t worried it will affect his client base. “What some folks don’t understand is that this isn’t a fad, it’s a diet,” he said, adding that even people like athletes and those without health requirements are try-

THE GOODS ON GLUTEN The Celiac Disease Foundation deﬁnes gluten as “a general name for the proteins found in wheat (wheatberries, durum, emmer, semolina, spelt, farina, farro, graham, KAMUT khorasan wheat and einkorn), rye, barley and triticale… that helps foods maintain their shape, acting as a glue that holds food together.” Gluten can be found in many types of foods, even ones that would not be expected. The Big Four The four most common grains containing gluten are: Wheat — commonly found in breads, baked goods, pastas, soups, cereals, sauces and salad dressing Barley — commonly found in beers, malt, soups and food coloring Rye — commonly found in cereals, breads and rye beer Triticale — Triticale is a new grain on the market, increasingly popular because it contains the qualities of wheat while being tolerant to different growing conditions. It is commonly found in breads, pastas and cereals. Oats — While oats don’t contain gluten and add nutrients to an otherwise gluten-free diet, consumers avoiding gluten should be careful to look for oats labeled gluten-free. Crosscontamination often occurs when oats are grown or processed near wheat, barley or rye.

Survey Continued from Page 1

Liz Wagner, a parent with a child at Rock Canyon High School in Highlands Ranch, said she was skeptical before attending the town hall meetings, but was pleasantly surprised by what she heard from the Corona presentation. “They were very transparent,” Wagner said. “They listened to the parents and community members who were there and seemed to hear them and value what we had to say.” In a survey, Wagner said she would like to see school curriculum addressed, how money is being spent in the district and teacher pay. Kelli Slothouber, whose child attends Cougar Run

Elementary in Highlands Ranch, said she was concerned that Corona wouldn’t “understand the tensions and dynamic of the district.” But after speaking with Raines, she said she was encouraged. “I could tell by his expressions that he was really listening,” Slothouber said. Slothouber would like the survey to gauge public opinion on the reform measures implemented by the board of education in recent years. Jeanie Work-Swaim has a child at Stone Mountain Elementary and another at the STEM school in Highlands Ranch. She said she had concerns about how charter parents would factor into the survey and the different concerns they have compared to parents of students at neighborhood schools. “I think if you asked charter parents about the district, their point of view is going to be very different from the neighborhood parents,” Work-Swaim said. “I would answer differently depending on the child.”

Raines said the survey and process are fluid and that Corona is still learning what the community wants. “We started out with a sample-based approach on the employee and parents’ survey — with that you are drawing a random sample of people that is large enough to draw scientifically strong conclusions,” Raines said. “One of the things we heard from both the community and employees is that they didn’t want a sample — they wanted everyone to be able to be part of a survey.” Based on the feedback from the town halls, Corona is now planning to implement a full-census, online survey of parents in the district and of DCSD employees. It plans to use the district’s email database to accomplish this, which means all parents and employees with correct email contact information will be invited to participate. Community members can also give feedback through the district website by clicking the “Let’s Talk” button at dcsdk12.org. All data will be aggregated and results will be reported without identifying any individuals, Raines said. The exception will be interviews with school board members. “I would define success as A, having defensible research that’s accurate, and B, it is actionable,” Raines said. Raines said he expects to have a finalized report by the end of February. Stainbrook said the district would be hands-off when it comes to the survey. “Kevin and his team are going to have access to really manage the whole thing,” Stainbrook said. “From a district level, we’re really not involved.”

Chris Daniels and the Kings to play in free show at ACC Waring Theatre will welcome musician who taught at school

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The unique sound of Chris Daniels and the Kings will fill the Waring Theatre at Arapahoe Community College with rock and R&B music on Sept. 15 in a free concert at 7:30 p.m. A 7 p.m. “meet the artist” reception will welcome Daniels back to ACC, where he taught for seven years (business of music, guitar, banjo, music theory). He still serves the college as chair of the Music Audio Technology program, according to program coordinator Dr. Chuck Haarhues, who says he arrived at ACC during the last year Daniels taught there. Daniels said Haarhues has been the driving force in developing a recording program that is “best in the community college system.” It had just started when Daniels was there. “Chuck is light-years ahead of the 2006 ACC.” Daniels talked about his band’s new recording, “Funky to the Bone,” released in March. There are seven band members now, he said, including vocalist/ guitar player Freddi Henchi, who played with Freddi-Henchi and the Soul Setters in Arizona and then Colorado. “We met and he has appeared with the Kings for a couple years, and plays on the new album,” Daniels said. Much of the music on the program will come from the recording. (LPs will be on sale — many young people prefer them, he finds.) Daniels is now an assistant professor at CU-Denver where he teaches three classes on the music business, about 120 students. Although the band has made 21 trips to Europe, they didn’t go this summer because they were invited to play the City of Denver’s big July 3 concert at the Civic Center. They don’t travel so much in the winter. “We have a couple teachers and others with straight jobs, but we will have done 70 shows this year,” Daniels said. He writes new music “on better days” and says,

Band leader Chris Daniels, front, will bring his Chris Daniels and the Kings to Arapahoe Community College, where he taught I the past. The concert will be on Sept. 15. Courtesy photo at 63, he’s feeling well. In 2010, he was hospitalized with nearfatal leukemia. “I’m alive because of a bone marrow transplant from my sister,” he said. “It’s an easy way to save a life.” He hopes concert audience members will get registered in the bone marrow registry. (There will be literature at the concert.) The concert is free, but donations will be accepted to fight leukemia and lymphoma. Daniels looks forward to an East Coast tour where he will visit with 5- and 8-yearold grandkids who live in Brooklyn, New York, he said. And he’s starting on the next record, which he hopes will be finished in 2017. Actually, there are two records in the future: one with the Kings and another in bluegrass style. For 12 years, he has been emcee at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and thought up the concept record while driving back from Telluride. It will happen mostly in Nashville after the basic tracks,

horn parts and vocals are laid down here. “It’s how most people work these days,” said Haarhues of his audio engineering program. There’s a technical revolution with no end in sight. Comparing the process to visual art, he said “you sketch first, then add the colors …” There are 50 to 70 students in the ACC program. “Everybody has to take music theory and sight singing.” The music department at ACC has tripled in size, including an orchestra, a choir and a jazz band,” he said. His background includes 30 years as a performance musician (guitar), bachelor’s and master’s degrees in jazz studies from Eastern Illinois University, where he studied with nationally famous blind pianist Henry Butler. (Butler performed at ACC last year.) His Ph.D. is in composing, from Louisiana State University. A raffle will award prizes — Music Go Round at Bowles Crossing will donate a guitar and Daniels will donate some

IF YOU GO Chris Daniels and the Kings will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 15 in the Waring Theatre at Arapahoe Community College, Littleton Campus, 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive. A 7 p.m. “Meet the Artist” reception will precede the music. The performance is free and open to the public. Donations to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Societies, as well as the ACC Foundation will be accepted. Information: student.activities@ arapahoe.edu or 303-797-5668.

records to be given as prizes. The raffle will raise funds for the Lymphoma and Leukemia Societies. Students will help with concert production, which includes running a brand new, completely digital P.A. system in its first concert. “Maybe there will be more concerts in the spring.”

KEEPING SCORE WITH... TAYLOR SCHLEY m Senior poms/dance tea member at Mountain Vista High School

What is your favorite pre-competition meal? My favorite meal to eat before I compete is pasta with Alfredo sauce and bread. This is because I love to load up on carbs the night before a big competition. Why do your participate in sports? It gets me involved in the school while meeting new people. It also keeps me healthy and active through the entire school year. What is your favorite type of music and who is your favorite artist? I really like a little bit of all genres of music so it’s hard to pick just one type that is my favorite. My favorite artist is also very hard

ing part in the annual event. For the first time in many years, the course included some changes, such as moving the water crossing further north on the route. Several runners said they liked the improvements. One hundred seventy-nine runners representing 26 teams competed in the boys varsity division. Rock Canyon captured the team title with 63 points while Highlands Ranch —paced by Bennett Atencio who finished 39th — came in seventh with 255 points. Mountain Vista’s Brian Shockley placed 53rd and was the first Golden Eagle across the finish line. Mountain Vista, as a team,

to decide from, but it ranges anywhere between Chance the Rapper, ODESZA and all the way to Brett Eldridge. What is your favorite subject in school? Math is probably my favorite subject because there is always a specific and correct answer that you are trying to find and a certain way to find the answer. I like having a problem and knowing the specific way to find it, knowing that my answer is correct. What is your favorite video game? If “Just Dance” for the Xbox 360 counts as a video game then it’s for sure my favorite one. I love this one because coming from a family of competitive dancers, it’s always fun to get competitive and see who the best dancer in the family really is. “Keeping Score With…” is a Q&A with high school athletes in the south metro area. Email Colorado Community Media sports writer Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com if you or someone you know would like to participate.

Gary Mares and Jim Dollaghan are friends who happen to be rival girls softball coaches. Mares is head coach at Horizon and Dollaghan heads up the ThunderRidge program. The teams usually only meet once a year since the schools play in different leagues. Mares and Dollaghan have been competing against each other for many years, but remain best Jim Benton friends. The rivalry OVERTIME started in Little League baseball and continued in high school when Mares played at Thornton and Dollaghan for Northglenn. “We played at rival high schools,” Dollaghan said. “We had a play at the plate in high school where I could have bowled him over but I just started laughing and he just tagged me. It’s been one of those nice friendships that you enjoy as a coach.” The two buddies stood at each other’s weddings and went into coaching after they finished college. “We said whoever got a job first, we would go help each other,” Mares explained. Dollaghan coached baseball at Green Mountain and Mares was his assistant for three seasons. Then Mares got the head baseball job at Legacy and Dollaghan was his assistant for two seasons. Now both are softball coaches and look forward to HorizonThunderRidge games. Dollaghan, who also helps coach baseball, is in his sixth year as the Grizzlies’ head softball coach and Mares has been at Horizon since 2011 and is coaching softball for the fifth season. “This makes us get together because he lives way down south and I’m north,” Mares said. “So we get to see each other then and I help him with camps and he helps with camps for me. He’s a good as it gets and not just with baseball and softball knowledge. He’s a good human being and does a good job with the team.” Dollaghan knows he has to be focused whenever ThunderRidge is matched against Horizon. “I don’t care what kind of rivalry you have or how bad you want to win, he’s one of my dear friends,” Dollgahan said. “I’m going to do everything I can to beat him because I’ll tell you, he’ll outcoach me. He’s a great coach and I really have to be on my toes to compete with him mentally, because mentally he just smokes me.”

Mares and Dollaghan have been competing against each other for many years, but remain best friends.

The Grizzlies were undefeated heading into an Aug. 30 early-season, non-league showdown against unbeaten Horizon at the ThunderRidge field in Highlands e Ranch. s ThunderRidge led 2-0 with one out in the bottom of the fifth in a game that was suspended because of lightning and darkness. y The suspended game was resumed Sept. 2 after both teams played in the King of the Mountain tournament at Mountain Range High School. ThunderRidge maintained its lead and concluded the shutout victory over Horizon and the Grizzlies took a 6-0 record into Sept. 3 games in the Mountain Range tourney. Coach Jim Dollaghan hopes to see continued good play for his ThunderRidge team. Last season ThunderRidge started 8-0 and won nine of its first 10 games but faltered near the end of the season with two losses in the Class 5A regionals to end the season with a 14-7 record. “For us, when it comes to the RPI system, all coaches are aware of it and it works pretty well,” Dollaghan said. “The start is important to try to get yourself up in those rankings. That’s a good team (Horizon) we played and they come from a good conference. We have to make sure we keep doing the things we have to do to

Photo by Jim Benton keep winning, stay competitive and keep the start going for sure.” ThunderRidge has received good pitching performances from senior Emily Morris and Rachel Bean. Bean, a junior who also plays centerfield, was 3-for-3 in the Horizon game. “We’ve done a good job starting out and we have to keep working on things,” Bean said. “Since we lost only two seniors, most of the girls have played together for

two years and we are a lot closer now. “We saw how good we can be last year and if we can make small adjustments, we can do a lot better.” Dollaghan realizes games will get tougher for ThunderRidge in Continental League play. “Everybody will talk about all the importance all things, defense, hitting and all those things, but it really does start in the circle,” he said. “If your pitchers

can’t keep you in games it’s hard to stay in games. Emily and Rachel I feel that will give us a shot in every game. “As I’m looking at this team right now, the difference that I’m seeing is their willingness to do it for each other and there has to be that buy-in that we are all in this together, and that’s what this team has shown so far. There are still some wrinkles we are trying to figure out but I feel pretty good about this team.”

to help the team finish ninth with 282 points. Douglas County’s girls scored 290 points to finish 11th in team standings. The top finisher for Douglas County was Lina Corrales, who was 29th. Cross country is a popular sport at Mountain Vista.

“We had about 100 runners out for cross country last year,” Assistant Coach Michael Finder said. “We grew this year and have 121 running with us.” He said the team has great varsity leadership. “Every season we have a lot of differ-

ent kids who create a different dynamic and that is fun to watch develop,” he said. “But the one element that doesn’t change is the kids keep pushing themselves and challenging themselves to get better as individuals, so Mountain Vista’s team keeps improving and getting better.”

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF SEPT. 5, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) As tensions ease on the home front, you can once more focus on changes in the workplace.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Ease up and stop driving yourself to finish that project on a deadline that is no longer realistic. Your superiors will be open to requests for an extension. Ask for it. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You should soon be hearing some positive feedback on that recent business move.

Some serious new romancing could develop out of all this cheeriness. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You’re always concerned about the well-being of others. It’s time you put some of that concern into your own health situation, especially where it involves nutrition. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Just when you thought your life had finally stabilized, along comes another change that needs to be addressed. Someone you trust can help you deal with it successfully. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a sixth sense when it comes to finding people who need help long before they think of asking for it.

Rock Canyon football squad comes up short Jaguars’ points not enough as Arapahoe wins opener 10-5

to eliminate the penalties that hurt his team on offense and defense. Key players/statistics The individual statistics weren’t posted for the Jaguars, but game statistics showed Rock Canyon had the edge in time of possession, as they ran 62 plays compared to 48 by Arapahoe. The Jaguars made eight first downs but the efforts were dampened by mistakes, as Rock Canyon had 13 penalties called and the officials stepped off a total of 117 yards.

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Defenses for both teams kept the score low and, when a late touchdown pass effort sailed wide, Arapahoe won the opening game of the football season 10-5 over Rock Canyon. Key moments In the Sept. 1 contest, the Jaguars pinned Arapahoe on its one-yard line in the first quarter. The Rock Canyon defenders responded on first down by tackling the Warrior runner in the end zone for a safety to put the Jaguars up 2-0 with 7:30 left in the first quarter. Jaguar place kicker Jack Wahlenmaier booted a 38-yard field goal with 38 seconds left in the initial period to put Rock Canyon up 5-0. Although Arapahoe scored the next 10 points, the Jaguars didn’t quit and kept working to score the points needed to win the game. With about two minutes left in the game, Rock Canyon drove to the Arapahoe 25, but a fourth-down pass that would have produced a first down sailed just off the fingertips of the Jaguar receiver. Arapahoe took over with eight seconds left and ran out the clock. “Our defense played very well but we have a long way to go on offense to get running smoothly,” Rock Canyon coach

They said it Sophomore quarterback Adam Mullen said he was excited and a little bit of nervousness kicked in as he took varsity snaps for the first time. “I felt overall we battled hard and made some good plays, but we didn’t execute the plays when we needed to do it,” he said after the game. “We are a good team and we will improve. I appreciate the chance to play varsity for the first time.” He said his focus in the coming practices will be improving his pocket presence and knowing when to scramble and when to keep looking for a receiver.

Brian Lamb said after the game. “We are a fairly young team with eight juniors starting on both sides of the ball, so we are working together effectively. The kids played hard but there were too many mistakes and penalties, so we have to

correct that.” He said the focus for the week’s practice will be developing a rhythm on offense so the Jaguars can make first downs to keep drives alive and score points. He also said there will be work

well-recognized football players. However, it sure would be nice to be able to identify an Eagles’ offensive or defensive lineman, wide receiver or other players from seats in the stands. I’m not the only observer to complain. Numbers on the Eagles’ uniforms are unreadable from the stands or press box and many times it’s a guessing game to figure out who caught a pass, made a

tackle or ran with the football. The PA announcer usually helps out. On the sidelines or up close, the numbers are legible but not from a distance.
