GET LOST AT CHATFIELD FARMS

SCHOOL BOARD RACE

Fundraising ﬁgures so far favor challengers Third-party money pays for TV ad in support of incumbents By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com

The eight-acre corn maze at the Denver Botanic Gardens Chatﬁeld Farms is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday through Nov. 1. The eight-acre corn maze at Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms was packed Oct. 17 with families trying to find their way. Life-size animal cutouts hidden throughout the maze provided a game in which families could help find Farmer Green’s lost animals. The fall festivities also feature a pumpkin patch, hayrides and a giant inflatable jumping pillow. For more information on events, visit botanicgardens.org/corn-maze/about

In contrast to recent Douglas County School Board races, candidates challenging the school district’s reform policies have raised more money than their opponents as of the first reporting deadline. David Ray, Anne-Marie Lemieux and Wendy Vogel have combined to raise $51,765, nearly $44,000 more than the three incumbent candidates during the reporting period that ended Oct. 8. Those totals do not reflect third-party money being spent to try to influence voters. Kevin Larsen, Craig Richardson and Richard Robbins have raised $7,793, according to the most recently released campaign finance reports. By this time in the 2013 campaign, the candidates who supported the school district’s reform policies had outraised their opponents DCSD continues on Page 6

Children’s Hospital opens sports therapy field

By Alex DeWind adewind@colorado communitymedia.com Children’s Hospital Colorado South Campus opened its first outdoor sports therapy field for young rehabilitees. An opening ceremony was held Oct. 13 at the campus off Lucent Drive in Highlands Ranch. Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall assisted children in cutting a blue ribbon next to the facility. “This field is very useful,” said Bridget Younger, manager of Children’s Hospital Colorado Sports Medicine Program. “It’s an extra tool to use.” The outdoor field, which has a

soccer field and basketball court, will be used by adolescents in the final stages of their recovery processes. Jay Albright, the program’s surgical director, sees 95 percent of his patients for sports-related injuries like ligament tears and concussions. The field will replicate the surface that the patient will eventually be training on again. It allows physical therapists to see patients in a real-time environment, rather than just a clinic, said Younger. “This field is one of a kind,” Albright said. And it is: it’s the first outdoor sports therapy field for Children’s Hospital Colorado.

HELLO

... My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community

SANDY MILLER Animal lover What I do I work with the Prescription Pet Program so I bring dogs into Children’s Hospital Denver at the Highlands Ranch location twice a month. Me and Lani, a 9-year-old golden retriever, greet people at the door and visit patient rooms. I

also work with HOPE Animal-Assisted Crisis Response. I’ll get called when there’s a crisis and bring therapy dogs to those in need. I’ve gone to hospitals at 2 a.m. to comfort staff, families or victims of trauma. We travel a lot — Lani flies like a champ. My inspiration Seeing the happiness in people when they are around the dogs is wonderful. I’ve always been an animal lover — I’ve had horses, raccoons and even a skunk. What I see The dogs bring so much joy to people in the hospital, especially in times of sadness. I see love when the dogs are around sick people — it’s very uplifting. By Alex DeWind.

Jenna Zecchino, 20, sits on the sofa in her home, a leather-bound notebook open on her lap. Slender fingers trace her carefully printed words as she reads aloud in a rhythmic, unhurried cadence: Move with the Ann Macari wind. Healey Move with the glory and make it a story. Move somewhere far and move close to touch the star. “Move is a great word to start a poem about,” she says, long brown hair framing her face as she looks up and flashes a buoyant smile. Her feet, clad in pink, sequined shoes, hang short of the floor. She turns the page. This poem is called “Miracle.” “I think it was about prom, because I remember getting kissed at prom.” She reads: I feel like a miracle just happened to me. I don’t know how or why. All I want to do is say I am so happy right now. The thing is, Jenna’s always happy. And like the title of her poem, she is somewhat of a miracle — not only in how she fought her way into this world, but also in how, like a fairy sprinkling magic dust, she leaves a trail of joy in her wake. “I don’t know how she can be that happy all the time,” says Makayla Albers, 20, Jenna’s best friend and a junior at Doane College in Nebraska, inspired in part by Jenna to become a special education teacher. “She definitely makes me happier when I’m around her.” Jenna weighed three pounds when she was born, induced eight weeks early because she had stopped growing. Her cerebellum also had not fully developed, and because doctors couldn’t figure out exactly what afflicted Jenna, they assigned her a maybe-diagnosis of cerebral palsy, says her mother, Julie Zecchino. She endured many surgeries, a feeding tube and numerous therapies. At a year old, she weighed 12 pounds. Doctors

Jenna Zecchino always chooses to focus on the best in others because it makes her happy. Courtesy photo repeated at each visit that her growth was “not normal” and that she wasn’t meeting developmental milestones. But Julie and Jenna’s dad, Al Zecchino — the two are now divorced but remain good friends — determinedly rejected the “not normal” label. And Jenna happily did, too. Extra Ordinary Poem: Sometimes I just feel like I am extra ordinary. A extra ordinary person can be who they want to be. A special needs student at a Highlands Ranch high school, Jenna graduated with her class in 2014. That year, students elected her homecoming queen. She is a gymnast and was a cheerleader. Last school year, she took two classes at a local community college, earning an A and a B. She has a boyfriend, Devin, of 3 1/2 years — the one who kissed her at prom. She is a preschool gymnastics coach at a local athletics club. The journey hasn’t been easy. The most difficult part, her mother says, revolved around social issues.

Group says school email spotlighted hours shortfall DCSD trying to get $4.2 million penalty reduced By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Based on information from a recent public records request, the parents and community members of the Strong Schools Coalition say the Douglas County School District knew of a potential shortfall in high school instructional time more than a year before it said it did. In an Aug. 29, 2012, email from Janece Rogers, the district’s student data and information services manager, she expressed concerns to district administration over the potential issue at Legend High School in Parker. “I am worried about LHS the school, with 5 classes, the schedule is short 360 hours without including the 24 hours for PT conferences,” Rogers wrote in the email. “If you included PT time with the 5 classes it makes the 360 required hours only by 2 hours and if there is two snow days the 5 classes will not work. PT refers to parent-teacher conferences. The Strong Schools Coalition said it obtained the email through a Colorado Open Records Act request in September. “We probably would have had more students lose their full-time status if there was a really bad snowstorm,” said Laura Mutton, president of the Strong Schools Coalition. “That’s a lot of funding to be putting at risk.” The school district — fined $4.2 million by the Colorado Department of Education in June for 1,100 students who attended school part-time but received full-time state funding — maintains it did not know about the problem until 18 months after the dates in question. District officials also say the CDE’s formula for counting full-time students is confusing and does not reflect an accurate picture. Some of the disagreement focuses on what should be counted as instructional time. “This misunderstanding on our part and CDE’s, literally over a couple of minutes in the vast majority of cases, leads to

‘We probably would have had more students lose their full-time status if there was a really bad snowstorm.’ Laura Mutton, President of the Strong Schools Coalition an issue of full-time funding versus halftime funding,” district budget director Scott Smith said. The CDE has offered the district a 15-year payment plan, or about $280,000 annually. But district officials say they are working with CDE to reduce the penalty. “The commissioner has the right to wave those penalties,” said Steven Cook, assistant superintendent of secondary education. “It doesn’t seem unreasonable on our part. Our intent was good.” Dana Smith, CDE’s director of communications, confirmed discussions are underway but declined to talk about specifics because the issue falls under attorney-client privilege. The deadline for a decision is midNovember. “We need to let these talks continue,” Smith of the CDE said, “and hopefully we can meet an acceptable resolution.” Request for emails Mutton said the organization made its open records request following a June 23 letter from CDE Commissioner Robert Hammond to Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen that said the district should have been aware of the issue. “The evidence that we have received indicate the district was aware of the potential shortage in the scheduled time; however did not correct the problem until the 2014-15 school year,” wrote Hammond, who retired in July. According to the district, the email cited by the Strong Schools Coalition is

routine and similar counts are done every year. Each year, all public school districts in Colorado participate in the Student October Count data submission to the CDE. The purpose of the collection is to obtain required student level data as provided for by state statute, including information regarding students’ funding eligibility. The Student October Count is based on a one-day membership count in which districts are asked to report all students who are actively enrolled and attending classes through their district on that date. The state’s findings are tied to individual student schedules during the 2012-13 and 2013-14 academic year. During that time, most Douglas County high schools were on a block schedule that offered eight classes one day a week and two four-session days the remainder of the week. The schedule was a cost-cutting move caused by an $18.1 million shortfall in 2012. The schedule has since been abandoned by most schools. Each student must have 360 hours of teacher instruction per semester. The CDE said some DCSD students missed that mark by a few hours, others by more than 200. A difference in philosophy Then-Legend High School Principal Corey Wise, now the district’s director of 21st Century Learning, said the problem arose not because of the schedule, but because the state does not provide specific

guidelines on how to tabulate instructional hours. “We all thought we were hitting instructional minutes,” Wise said. Smith, the budget director, said the CDE’s guide to calculating bell schedules to full time is “one of the most detailed and difficult processes I have ever seen for something that should be relatively simple.” Whether homeroom and advising periods should be counted as instructional time also proved to be a point of contention. The district favors including these periods. The state does not. “Our kids were full time,” Wise said. “They were in honor societies, athletics, activities, taking full and rigorous loads of courses.” And during advisement, they were doing “purposeful career and college planning,” he said. The students whose schedules were in question averaged 96.7 percent of the required seat time, according to the district. According to the school district’s Smith, the October Count represents how many average instructional minutes a day students are scheduled for as of Oct. 1. It does not take into account the second semester for a yearly average or penalize students for dropping classes after that date. “It has nothing to do with how many minutes you actually go to school. It has nothing to do with actual performance or academic achievement,” he said. “It is literally what your schedule is for the first four months of school on a particular day of the year.” The district also points out the state includes passing periods between classes as instructional time. But even if homeroom and advisements periods were counted, the CDE’s Smith said, the district would have still fallen short of the needed hours. Regardless of fault, all parties said they hope to avoid a lengthy legal battle. “They are trying to make the state change the rules after the fact and that’s going to cost a lot of taxpayer dollars if they continue to pursue this through the courts,” Mutton said.

Candidates weigh in on survey, teacher morale School board hopefuls offer opinions on variety of issues at forum

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com The six candidates for Douglas County School Board agree on the need for a student and parent survey. On other points, including teacher morale and evaluations, the three challengers and three incumbents diverged sharply during a forum at SkyView Academy in Highlands Ranch on Oct. 19. The candidates came together to answer questions of each other and from the public as they hoped to win over voters ahead of the Nov. 3 election. In addition to the need for a survey, points of discussion included better communication with parents, funding for charter schools and teacher pay and morale. In District A, incumbent Craig Richardson will take on Wendy Vogel. Board president Kevin Larsen will face off with Anne-Marie Lemieux in District C. Incumbent Richard Robbins and David Ray will vie for the District F seat. While the candidates agreed there should be a survey, they didn’t all see eye to eye on the method for administering it. Lemieux said the survey and the promise of more parent input and involvement is one of the foundations of her campaign. “This school board has not given parents a voice in several years,” she said. “How do we know what parents want unless we ask them?” Larsen said he would consider adding a way for parent and student input to be factored into evaluations for teachers. Richardson said he hoped to see a thorough and secure survey of parents, teachers and students in the next six months. Lemieux said any survey of teachers should be done anonymously. The forum at the charter school was moderated by Colorado Community Media Publisher Jerry Healey. The candidates each submitted a question for the group ahead of time. This was followed by questions submitted by the audience. Each candidate was given 90

seconds for an opening and closing statement. All six candidates agreed the state’s allotted per-pupil funding amount should be given in full and equally to students who choose to attend charter schools. Vogel criticized the district for adding additional communications staff in recent years, saying that money should be spent in classrooms. Teacher pay and morale were a major focus of debate. Robbins pledged that if he were elected he would personally visit every school in the district to meet with teachers and staff members to hear their needs and concerns. The current board members pointed to the higher retention of highly effective teachers since the district moved to a performance-based pay model. “Yes, we need to have a culture where teachers are happy and motivated and

want to reach the children. Next to the parent, they are the most important factor in the success of a child’s education,” Larsen said. “But this is about doing what is right for the children, and it’s working in many ways for the teachers that are performing.” Richardson said a business model for education can be effective and that students and parents are the district’s customers. Ray countered, “We have children, we don’t have products.” A business model leads to competition among teachers rather than collaboration, he said. “I can tell you right now, if myself, Anne-Marie and Wendy are elected to the school board, staff morale will hit the roof,” said Ray, a former teacher and principal who spent 23 years in the district. “Finally, there will be voices that represent them on this board.”

Brad and Amber Wann have four children, one who graduated and three in the district. One of their children has special needs and they say they are supporting the incumbents because they have seen positive improvements in the classroom for their child. “We’re not always sure or 100 percent positive that public education is right for him,” Brad Wann said. “We believe in choice and the ability of a parent to pick and choose.” Nicky Mitchell, a teacher at Saddle Ranch Elementary School, said she is supporting the challengers because she feels like teachers do not have a voice in the district. “The morale is very, very bad,” said Mitchell. “I served on Dr. Fagen’s advisory committee and I stopped going to those meetings because I felt like it was a waste of time. The evaluation system is awful. It’s very degrading.”

Colorado, and although Douglas County has been fortunate in recent years, it is far from immune to wildfire. “Whether you live in an urban neighborhood or in and around the Pike National Forest, it is important that you know what can be done to reduce risk from a wildfire,” county commissioner David Weaver said. A major issues native to Colorado is Gambel, or “scrub” oak, a plant that is extremely prevalent in Douglas County. One of the reasons it is so dangerous is that it is fast-burning, which helps wildfire spread quickly. The county is working to mitigate the plant where it can, and as part of Wildfire Awareness Month, encourages citizens and taxpayers to know existing dangers and help reduce the risk. “We’ve seen brush fires in neighboring counties as recently as this week,” said Capt. Brian Delasantos of Littleton Fire Rescue. “With the right weather, we are literally one spark away from disaster.

And a lot of that is due to vegetation and so much of the county being located in a Wildland Urban Interface.” If interested in having a county mitigation expert come to your home to assess your property’s specific mitigation needs for free, call 303-660-7497.

The following information about independent expenditure committees — like the Douglas County Education Alliance, which backs the three incumbents in the school board race — is provided on the Colorado Secretary of State’s website. “An independent expenditure committee is one or more persons who make independent expenditures in an aggregate amount in excess of $1,000, or that collect in excess of $1,000 from one or more persons for the purpose of making an independent expenditure. The requirements applicable to independent expenditure committees apply to all persons, groups, businesses, and other entities that meet the definition of independent expendito run on. He said that is the most compelling case for their re-election. “We have a track record to show what we’ve done. There are some people that disagree, but we have been honest and true to what we believe is right.” Each of the challengers has received more than 200 contributions, ranging from $5 to $1,000. The majority of contributions are $100 or less. The incumbents each have received fewer than 40 contributions, ranging from $10 to $500, with most being $100 or less. The lack of large contributions to the incumbents does not mean third-party money isn’t being spent to influence the election, the challengers say. An ad broadcast on the Fox News Channel, paid for by the organization Douglas County Education Alliance, attacks Ray, Vogel and Lemieux.

ture committee.” These committees must register with the secretary of state’s office. Information they are required to provide includes a description of the group’s purpose. “This information should be detailed, including candidates, ballot measure numbers, or policy positions that you will support or oppose,” the secretary of state’s website says. The detailed information on the purpose of the Douglas County Education Alliance, which has its office in Arapahoe County, is listed as: “to support or oppose candidates running in school board elections.” The purpose of the Greenwood Village-based group — an independent expenditure committee — is to “support or oppose candidates running in school board elections,” according to the secretary of state’s database. It was not known how much was spent on the commercial or how much money the group had raised, as no donations or expenditures were listed for the alliance as of the Sept. 30 reporting date. The commercial on Fox News began airing the first week in October. The next reporting period ends Dec. 31, nearly two months after the Nov. 3 election. “Given that there is no limit of funding that board candidates can receive and there is no requirement to document third-party funding, a level playing field is impossible,” Ray said. Politics of the election Because school board elections are officially nonpartisan, candidates may not campaign as members of a political party, according to the Colorado Association of School Boards. While the candidates may not label themselves as representatives of a political party, local political parties and politicians voicing support for entire slates of candidates have made endorsements in the last few election cycles.

$156,631 to $30,541. Those candidates, Doug Benevento, Judith Reynolds, Meghann Silverthorn and James Geddes, each won. Each of the candidates elected in 2013 received a $25,000 contribution from Alex Cranberg of Aspect Energy in Austin, Texas, and $10,000 from Ralph Nagel of Top Rock LLC Financial of Denver, according to the Colorado secretary of state’s database at tracer.sos. colorado.gov. There were no such large contributions reported by either side as of Oct. 8. “Ninety-eight-and-a-half percent of my contributions have come from inside Douglas County,” said Larsen, board of education president. “... four years ago, there was a lot of uproar from my opponents saying that wasn’t the case. They’re not bringing that up now.” When Larsen and Richardson were elected to the board in 2011, each had raised more than $20,000 by this point in the race. Both men received $10,000 from Nagel and $10,000 from C. Edward McVaney of Littleton, a co-founder of the J.D. Edwards software company and founding trustee of Valor Christian High School, according to the secretary of state’s database. “It will be impossible to know how much money we will raise by the next reporting period, but we’re confident we’ve got the resources to win this race,” Larsen said. Larsen said he isn’t worried about being outspent by the opposition and that the current board has a record

In the 2015 election, the Republican Party of Douglas County has endorsed Larsen, Richardson and Robbins. “I’m up front,” Larsen said. “Yes, I have been endorsed by the Republicans. I don’t hide who my endorsements are. If I got an endorsement from someone I wasn’t seeking it from, I would make that clear I didn’t want it.” The Douglas County Democrats say they do not officially endorse any candidates. But their website prominently lists Ray, Lemieux and Vogel, along with their photos, under a heading that says “endorsed by the community group Douglas County Parents.” The website also lists the three incumbent candidates less prominently on the page, saying they are “endorsed by the Douglas County Republican Party.” “As Democrats, we have always championed strong public schools,” said Mike Jones, chairman of the Douglas County Democrats. “Of course we have opinions regarding how our public schools are run and who is running them, but those personal opinions in no way constitute an official endorsement.” The Douglas County Education Alliance TV spot accuses Ray, Lemieux and Vogel of being “too liberal” for Douglas County. “I’m a lifelong Republican,” Lemieux said. “I have voiced my concerns to the Republican Party that they have chosen in the last three election cycles to endorse board candidates. School board races are nonpartisan. Period.” Ray said he is adamantly opposed to party politics influencing school board members. “Having been an employee with the district for 25 years, I have been appalled by the recent trend of allowing politics to influence a nonpartisan election,” Ray said. Lemieux said big-party politics are contradictory to the idea of a local school board campaign. “We are separated into seven districts for a reason,” Lemieux said. “When I campaign as a local person, that’s because the people around me know me.”

Schools, faith groups team to prevent teen suicide Representatives hope to start conversation, bridge gap

HELP AT FINGERTIPS Text-a-Tip is a service offered by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office in traditional high schools in Douglas and Elbert counties. If students see someone selling drugs, bullying or threatening to hurt themselves or others, they can tell deputies about it immediately and anonymously at Text-a-Tip. Once the tipster has texted the sheriff’s office, he or she receives a confidential code that lets them add more information later.

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@colorado communitymedia.com With 26 suicides of children between the ages of 10 and 19 years old in Douglas County over the past five years, the Douglas County School District has reached out to the faith-based community to find ways to reach those students before they consider taking their own lives. “Everyone knows that this is not a challenge that we can solve single-handedly, but if we work collaboratively we have a better shot to catch kids,” said Dr. Jason Germain, student advocacy officer for Douglas County schools. “I think, ultimately, if nothing more happens than starting a conversation about something people don’t enjoy talking about, I’d be satisfied.” “The school district and the churches both clearly care about the same kids,” said Jake Meuli, a volunteer in the faith community in Douglas County. “It’s two groups that haven’t worked together all that much, but we thought we could bridge the gap.” Representatives from the school district and several churches throughout the county met Oct. 6 to discuss prevention. “One child who makes that decision is one too many,” school district Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen said.“We are ready to move heaven and earth so we don’t have that problem in Douglas County.” The numbers Colorado has the sixth highest suicide rate in the nation at 16.1 per 100,000 people. So far in 2015, Douglas County’s rate is 14.8 per capita. There are no specific numbers for teenagers, according to Douglas County Coroner Jill Roman. This year, four deaths have been ruled as suicide within the 10- to 19-year-old range. “It’s a personal loss for the whole community in Douglas County,” Roman said. “Everybody hopes for — digs for a way to prevent any suicide — and a teenager suicide really crosses so many boundaries that it’s hard to understand how that happened.”

Since the start of the program, students who used Text-a-Tip helped save the lives of 16 students who were either having thoughts of suicide or in the act of attempting suicide. The program is only available to students. For more information, contact the school resource ofﬁcer assigned to your school.

Douglas County Schools Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen addresses school staff and community members at a recent suicide-prevention meeting. Photo by Shanna Fortier Last year, five teen suicides were reported, four of which occurred within 11 days of each other. The highest year statistically was in 2012, when the county had seven youth suicides. “There’s a contagion effect that goes along with suicide, and that’s not specific to teenagers, but we do know teenagers are at a much higher risk,” Roman said, adding that when dealing with suicide, cultural issues also exist. “Douglas County is primarily a white community, so if you look at our number of suicides, you also have to look at our demographics,” Roman said, pointing out that white males die by suicide at the highest rate. This, she said, can skew statistics when compared to counties in other states. One is too many What the statistics don’t include are the number of students who have attempted suicide and the number of prevented suicides. “We’ve seen a pretty consistent trend in the number of threat assessments — our numbers are increasing,” Germain said,

adding that mental health professionals are spending more time in that role. “We hope there’s an increased awareness and that’s why the numbers are higher. We don’t want to think that the percentage of kids at risk are higher.” Safety wasn’t originally in the district’s strategic plan, Fagen said, but it has become the No. 1 priority. After the Columbine High School shooting in 1999, schools started thinking about safety in a different way. The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary changed things again, she said, putting the focus on the youngest students. “As we started to move into the next plan, we wanted to make sure we prioritized safety for all students and staff,” Fagen said. “The same is true with psychological safety — moving into an area that people have shied away from.” Upstream prevention One way the school district is focusing on psychological safety with students is through upstream intervention, which means spending time on the issue beforehand and not just when there’s a problem. The district employs school counselors,

psychologists and social workers. Each school has a mental health professional stationed on campus and most high schools have all three. “I think that as a district and as educators, we only see our kids 7 1/2 hours a day and we have an obligation to the parents of the kids we serve,” Germain said. “When kids are in the building, we are the parents.” That’s why the safety component of the work by the district’s mental health professionals is so important, he said. “The more conversations we have and more open we are with kids talking about it, the more we build relationships that prevent a student from making the choice to die by suicide.” The faith community has seen firsthand how youth suicides over the years have affected the community, Meuli said. Cross Roads Church in Parker hosted two funerals last year. “It hits home for the churches,” Meuli said. “It’s not OK for any young person to feel like their last resort is to take their life — and that’s happened a couple times recently. Any time that happens, it should pull all fire alarms in people’s minds. God called us to love our neighbor, and we want to love our little neighbors — they are our top priority.”

Douglas County Sheriff’s ofﬁce: ‘Be a good witness’

Community members asked not to intervene with criminal activity

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Four juvenile males suspected of smashing car windows and shooting a gun in Highlands Ranch put a homeowner’s life at risk. “It could have had very grave consequences,” said Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Steve Johnson. In the early hours of Oct. 6, the sheriff’s office got a call from the 3200 block of Astorbrook Circle. A resident caught the males breaking into his car and one of the suspects said he had a gun and threatened to kill the resident, the sheriff’s office said in a news release. A bullet casing was later found in the area. This isn’t the first crime of opportunity in Highlands Ranch. The sheriff’s office received around 100 vehicle trespassing reports from Aug. 1 to mid-September, according to Sgt. Lori Bronner. Police officers are asking the community to be a good witness in the face of criminal

activity. “Be our best eyes and ears,” Johnson said. “But leave dangerous situations to us.” Peggy, an Astorbrook Circle homeowner who declined to give her last name because of safety concerns, heard commotion outside her house the morning of the car chase. She went outside to check her car and her center console had been ripped out. Luckily, she didn’t have anything of value stored in it. “I didn’t expect that something like that would happen in Highlands Ranch,” she said. “I suppose I need to be more aware.” Tanya Bondarenko, a nanny in the same neighborhood, feels safe most of the time — unless she sees coyotes meandering in the grassy areas nearby. “I communicate with a lot of residents around here and I never hear that they’re concerned for their safety,” Bondarenko said. The recent car chase serves as a reminder that criminal activity can happen in affluent areas such as Highlands Ranch, authorities say. Community residents are advised to lock their cars, avoid anything that would make their property look like a target and never directly intervene. “We don’t want to see an innocent life put at risk,” Johnson said.

Give until it stops hurting We have all had those conversations, haven’t we? You know, that kind of conversation where we are encouraged or asked to step up and make a donation to or to support “a really good cause.” And there are a lot of “really good causes” out there, aren’t there? I mean everything from Breast Cancer Awareness, PanCan.org that supports pancreatic cancer research, the American Heart Association, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Make-A-Wish, Denver Rescue Mission, Children’s Hospital, American Diabetes Foundation, National Jewish Research Hospital, St. Jude’s, Girl Scouts of America, Boy Scouts of America, your local elementary school wrapping paper drive, Wounded Warrior Project, AMVETS, human trafficking, domestic violence, the Salvation Army, Red Cross, your church’s mission trips and other church programs, and millions of other “really good causes” that we can get behind in some way. Some are global, some are national, and others are very local and hit very close to home. That “really good cause” that gets me fired up is going to be very different from the “really good cause” that gets you fired up. And that’s OK, because it’s when we feel that passion that inspires us to make a financial

contribution or give our time and talents to help out is when we have the greatest opportunity to make a difference, and that will always be very personal. Now there are many times we feel a tug on our heart and we compassionately and Michael Norton impulsively make a WINNING decision to give a small donation or give our WORDS time or resources to help out a little if we can. And again, large or small, anything we do will have some impact for those individuals who will receive some level of benefit now or in the future. But what I am talking about here is that true passion that compels us to give more than just a little of our time and money, it drives us to support our “really good cause” to the very best of our ability. And when we have that level of passion, and we can give at any level large or small, the passion comes through as we do so with

a giving and cheerful heart. If you find yourself unsettled about supporting “a really good cause” for whatever reasons you may have, I would encourage you to consider the people in your own family or within your own circle of friends who may have been adversely impacted by a tragic situation or who could have really used some form of help when they were facing their battle. And as you do, I would further encourage you to consider that charity and support are not just for others to do something about, we are all called to do what we can, when we can, and however we can for “a really good cause.” How about you? I would love to hear all about the “really good cause” that you are so passionate about and support financially or with your time and talents at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And when we take the time to be a difference maker in this world, it really will be a better than good week for other who need it most. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Making memories the old-fashioned way There are more than 540,000 living University of Michigan alumni, including my sister. I think about 25 of them were on my flight. I flew from Denver to Detroit and surprised Cindy on homecoming weekend. (You’ll be pleased to know that the drivers in Detroit are just as ignorant as they are here.) Playwright David Mamet said that surprises are an “act of aggression,” and I agree. I promised Cindy I would never do it again. I had never seen her new home. Her new home is a reliquary. My sister is a borderline hoarder. There are mementos and keepsakes everywhere. I recommended Knick Knacks Anonymous. Every square inch of counter space has something on it. It’s all very orderly, however. She has my doodles from the ’60s and ’70s. I thought I was in the Wayback Machine with Sherman and Peabody. I begged her not to die before I do. Her estate will be someone’s nightmare. On Saturday we drove to Ann Arbor. If you haven’t been to a Michigan home game, put it on your list. There is nothing like it. Before the game, we went to Zingerman’s. Zingerman’s is the best delicatessen between Katz’s in New York and Langer’s in Los Angeles. But it’s not fast food. By the time we arrived (11 a.m.), the line was out the door and all the way to Ypsilanti. Owner Rick Strutz and I were in cahoots,

QUIET DESPERATION

so Cindy and I were able to cut in line. Otherwise we might still be there. Here’s the catch: They have one girl taking orders. I have never seen anything like it. We were in line for 45 minutes and we waited 45 minutes for our sandwiches. It was worth it. Michigan Stadium is the largest college stadium in the country. It seats

more than 110,000. The population of Highlands Ranch was 96,713 (April 1, 2010). Like I said, it was homecoming. They honored past NCAA champions, and there are a lot of them. Former cheerleaders led cheers. Former band members played “The Victors” over and over. At halftime, members of the New York Philharmonic performed the “Finale” from “Swan Lake,” and Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy.” I’m telling you. Then they introduced a University of Michigan man who served with distinction in World War II. He got a standing ovation. I thought of our father, Capt. Harry E. Smith. Steven Wright said, “Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories.”

Take the path to change on school board Instead of taking the high road — comparing issues, policies and proposals — in the Douglas County School District Board of

Education race, pro-incumbent campaign mailers from the Douglas County Republican Party (what’s wrong with that picture?) and an enigmatic group calling itself Douglas County Education Alliance rely mainly on the less informative diversionary tactics of personal ad hominem attack and “bogyman alarm.” I won’t magnify the perniciousness of this approach by repeating those attacks on challengers Lemieux, Ray and Vogel here. Anyone who’s seen these mailers knows what I mean. But the issue is less about content than method. These attempts to portray the challengers in a negative light (largely via emotionally charged innuendo) clearly distract from the issues: increasing alienation, disenfranchisement and loss of district educational professionals; fiscally imprudent diversion of school funds to pet projects and critical, but unfunded, capital maintenance; co-optation of teacher time into the non-stop feeding of performance “data” into an expensive, cumbersome and largely unproven teacher “evaluation” system; failure to sensibly act to stem large and rapidly increasing unfunded capital reinvestment and growth

There was one thing that went against all of the day’s perfection. Loud music is blared constantly. Joe Arpaio does the same thing at Tent City in Maricopa County. I think it’s presumed that you can’t have a good time without loud music. It’s beneath the University of Michigan. Cindy and I couldn’t have anything close to a conversation. They do it in Boulder too. The playlist was hard-core. Aerosmith, AC/DC, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Joan Jett and Journey. Somehow or other, Dick Dale sneaked in with “Miserlou.” I like “Miserlou,” but it broke the meter. After 13 seconds, it was Michigan 7 and Northwestern zero. After 60 minutes, it was Michigan 38 and Northwestern zero. I left Cindy’s house the next morning at 5:30 a.m. She said it couldn’t have been better if we had planned it. She has keepsakes all over the place. I don’t keep keepsakes. My counters are clear. But my favorite memories are kept nearby. This will always be one of them. P.G.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Conservative values good for school board I noticed several letters in last week’s issue of this newspaper, all supporting the anti-reform candidates for Douglas County School Board. The reality is that the issues discussed in the letters are irrelevant. What we have here are progressives who are anxious to restore left-wing control to the school board. They lost that a while ago and have been doing anything they can to get back on top. The same thing is happening across town in Jefferson County, where a conservative controlled school board is attacked viciously. The simple fact is that Douglas County is a conservative county and ejected CEA and NEA supporters. This seldom happens and they are livid. So if you want to continue the good changes to education in Douglas county, keep in mind who caused those good changes (and it was not the Democrats.) Alan Wild Parker

A publication of

needs; lack of accountability, transparency and receptiveness to community engagement — among others. To coin a phrase from one mailer, these tactics represent the “hijacking” of the narrative to one they would prefer us to hear instead — from issues and proposals to “bogymen” (like, if you must know, organized labor and “those liberals”), a tactic savvy political operatives hereabouts understand resonates with many in their target political demographic. Here’s the question: how does this lowroad approach - which we can’t help but infer is supported by the incumbents themselves — assist voters in the task of making informed choices come November? Fortunately for the community, Lemieux, Ray and Vogel are taking the high road. As for myself, I prefer that path. Sheldon J.

Keep Guantanamo detainees out of Colorado President Obama wants to bring terrorists incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay (GTMO) to Colorado. This is outrageous and I’ll do everything I can to stop it. Recently, the Obama administration announced that officials from the U.S. Department of Defense are scouting the Supermax prison in Florence and a medium-security state prison as potential locations to house the terrorists. This is a terrible idea for several reasons. First and foremost, transferring the detainees to U.S. soil would afford them all of the due process protections given to a legal resident of this country and could potentially lead to their release. Since 2012, Congress has passed — and President Obama has signed — annual restrictions against the transfer of detainees at GTMO to the United States. The same restrictions are found in the fiscal year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed by the House recently. Unbelievably, President Obama threatened to veto the NDAA, which includes the language to extend the ban on transferring detainees to U.S. soil. I will work hard to make sure that we have the

She told Julie she was playing hide-and-seek with her friends, and she had hidden so well they couldn’t find her. “I was devastated and angry when I realized that the ‘friends’ were not even looking for her,” Julie wrote. “It was a rude awakening for me, when I came to the realization that this was my problem and not hers. She was happy and never once thought any less of those kids. Her world is full of love and happiness, and she refuses to see it any other way. Why would I want her to see things any differently?”

votes in the House to override the president’s veto. We must ensure that the prohibition on transferring these hardened terrorists to U.S. soil remains in place. Closing GTMO was an ill-advised campaign promise U.S. Rep. the president made Mike Coffman in 2007 — a promise made before he beGUEST gan receiving clasCOLUMN sified intelligence updates on the serious threat posed by these individuals. More importantly, there is no precedent for their release. Historically, enemy combatants who are captured remain detained until the conflict is resolved and their release no longer poses a threat to the United States nor to its citizens and service members who are overseas. Unfortunately the president continues to place politics above sound policy and our safety.

While he has yet to transfer any GTMO detainees to the U.S., the president has released some of them to other countries. As of March 2015, the Director of National Intelligence reported that 29 percent of detainees released from GTMO have engaged in or were suspected of engaging in terrorist or insurgent activity. Those who remain in Guantanamo are the “worst of the worst,” so it is safe to presume that if released an even higher percentage of them will remain a threat to our national security. The Obama administration views terrorists and terrorist attacks as just another criminal justice problem and thinks these terrorists should be afforded all of the due-process protections that bringing them onto U.S. soil will provide. These are hardened foreign terrorists who are irregular enemy combatants; they have perverted Islam into a political ideology and as such should be housed at GTMO under military, not civil control. They do not belong in Colorado or in any other state. The need for a place to detain enemy combatants, unfortunately, will not go away any time soon, so unquestion-

ably we need a facility like GTMO. More importantly, we need a president who understands the need for GTMO and who is willing to continue placing terrorists in it until they cease to be a threat. Those currently in GTMO may remain a threat indefinitely and need to be detained indefinitely. There is absolutely no reason to close the Guantanamo Bay detention camp only to finance the incarceration of enemy combatants within the United States and to extend to them the same constitutional rights guaranteed to American citizens. There is broad bipartisan opposition to President Obama’s plans to transfer GTMO prisoners into the United States, both among members of Congress and the American people. For our nation’s security, I implore President Obama to halt his reckless plan to close GTMO and place many of the world’s worst terrorists into our own backyards.

The rare moments when Jenna isn’t happy stem directly from others’ unpleasantness. “I can’t really take people fighting or yelling at each other — that really makes me upset,” she says. “And when someone yells at me, I get really upset.” That’s when she turns to those she loves, and music — singing and dancing on a backyard deck or in her bedroom. I don’t think about what makes me upset and lets me down. I think about what makes me happy and lifts me up off the ground. A moment of boredom in her bedroom, coupled with a love of music, inspired Jenna to start “writing like crazy.” Her poems, tender and insightful in their simple brevity, spin off the lyrics of songs that touch her in one way or another. She prints them carefully in her notebook, or

on sheets of loose paper, then posts them on her Facebook page — she counted 162 as of Aug. 20 — to share with friends and family. “They make my day,” Makayla says, “every single day.” Says her dad: “She has opened my eyes with her words to how wonderful life can be with the simple things we take for granted, such as friendships.” Jenna hopes her poems make a difference for those who read them. “I kinda feel like they’ll get an inspiration to start doing what I’m doing ... like either start listening to music more,” she says, “or start helping out people.” Blank Space: If you have a blank space. All you need to do is have something special to cover it with. Fill the blank space with something or someone that makes you happy.

Someday, Jenna wants to travel the world. Atlantis. Paris. Rome. She wants to get married and live near her family. She wants to cook dishes like smoky herbed shrimp and glazed orange poppyseed cake. Being a famous singer and dancer would be the ultimate dream. But her most important role is one she unconsciously fills every day by seeing the best in all of us and finding joy and beauty in the world around her. Imagine what life could be like if we all did that.

Hikes connect cancer survivors Live by Living inspired by woman who fought breast cancer By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Dan Miller admits he doesn’t have numbers to prove it, but he knows in his heart that “wilderness therapy” demonstrated its worth in his wife’s final years. Julie Wrend had already been diagnosed with breast cancer and gone into remission by the time Miller met her in 1990. The couple quickly fell in love and embarked side by side on outdoor adventures, including an annual trip to one of the 10th Mountain Division huts in Colorado’s high country. Even when the cancer returned, Wrend refused to let it slow her down. Five months after a hysterectomy in 2001, she was completing a five-day, 30-mile hike through the fall colors. “Anytime she had a setback with cancer, the most important thing was to get back out, even after surgery, just walking around the block to get stronger to go hiking again,” Miller says. The Parker resident believes the excursions had a beneficial impact on multiple levels: it gave Wrend a tangible goal, the exercise made her feel better, and being outdoors was therapeutic. In honor of his late wife — who succumbed to cancer in 2007 after a 19-year battle — Miller created Live by Living, a nonprofit foundation that leads groups of 14-18 patients, survivors and their caretakers on hikes to Wrend’s favorite place. They also get together regularly for walks at local parks and hikes on trails in the Denver area. Naturally, the groups gain a sense of camaraderie. “It can be an isolating disease, but it affects a lot of people,” Miller said. “It’s about the connections they make with people who are going through something similar.” Diane Wendt, of Fort Collins, went on the group’s most recent hut trip in September and says that’s precisely what happened to her. Wendt did not expect those connections to be so powerful and organic. “You can joke about stuff, laugh about it, and also cry about it,” said Wendt, who was 24 when she was diagnosed two years ago with leukemia. “There really is no judgment there because they have been in your shoes.” Miller established a goal to raise money to buy land and build a hut of his own, a place of “solace” to bring patients and survivors of any type of cancer, and name it after Wrend. While still working toward that goal, he is honoring his late wife the best way he knows how. The hikers are brought together by their experience, but cancer is never the focus of the trips. The purpose is to enable the patients and survivors to get away from the stress associated with treatment. It’s also meant to be a motivating force. “People have the strength to do these things internally and we’re just helping them access their own inner resources,” Miller says. Since 2009, Live by Living has led people into the wild, including the all-important caregivers and family members who have gone through the ups and downs that come with the illness. Volunteers prepare the meals, bring supplies to each destination, and lead the groups in meditation, yoga or music therapy. The walks and hikes are free to the survivors

Live By Living is having its own fundraiser Nov. 6 at The Denver Club. The largest benefit is leaving the worry behind and soaking up the freeing sensation of being out in nature. Miller is confident that the impacts, although immeasurable, go a long way. “She lived longer than average for (a) stage-4 (cancer patient),” he said about Wrend. “I can’t prove it was because of the outdoor stuff, but I know it made it better.”

For more information or to volunteer, call 303-808-2339 or go to www. LiveByLiving.org.

Wendt, who met Miller when he was running a booth at a “Stupid Cancer” event for young adults, was so convinced of the benefits that she has plans to start survivor walks in northern Colorado. Because she was so often stuck inside during her treatment, Wendt was “recharged” by going outside with like-minded people. “Now that I’m done with treatment and feeling healthy, I’d love to take some people who are (going through treatment) on some walks,” she said.

County divvies up block-grant funds County ofﬁcials concerned about HUD rules

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Sixteen organizations in Douglas County — many focusing on helping families with housing and to avoid homelessness — will receive funding from the 2015 Community Development Block Grant program through Douglas County. “There is very much a need in the community for these services,” Commissioner David Weaver said. The $889,370 was available to organizations in unincorporated Douglas County, Lone Tree, Parker, Castle Rock and Castle Pines for the 2015 program year. The programs were approved June 8, through the application process with the county, but Douglas County commissioners voted again Oct. 13 to approve fund distribution. “The (federal) government has been slow releasing these dollars,” said Terence Quinn, director of community development for Douglas County. Among countywide recipients is Douglas/Elbert Task Force, which will receive $18,405 to provide emergency rent assistance to families and individuals in economic crisis to help them emain in their homes and avoid homelessness; $16,000 to provide emergency utility assistance to eligible clients at risk of homelessness; and $5,000 to provide emergency overnight lodging assistance to the homeless, transients and victims of abuse and crime. The Douglas County Housing Partnership, a multi-jurisdictional Housing Authority which connects businesses, local and county government to address the issue of the lack of affordable housing for people who work in the area, will receive $310,000 for its Supportive Housing program. “We have for the last 10 years been able to offer down payment assistance to first-time home buyers using these

funds — we’ve added 10 families per year using CDBG funds,” said Diane Leavesley, executive director of the Douglas County Housing Partnership. “What we’re doing is making it possible for young families to own their first home in the county and essentially become long-term citizens. I see a lot of value in what we’re doing.” The town of Castle Rock also will eceive $50,000 from the 2015 funds to reconstruct existing surfaces for several downtown alleyways using ADA-accessible materials. Looking at 2016 In August, the Town of Castle Rock was given the option to become an entitlement community for the 2016 CDBG program, which would allow it to receive and disburse $212,000 directly to Castle Rock programs. The town also could have remained a grantee under Douglas County for 2016, which meant the town and organizations based in Castle Rock could continue to apply for funding through the county CDBG program. But because the Castle Rock Town Council declined participation in the 2016 program altogether, Larkspur will take the town’s place in Douglas County’s 2016 program. “There are many in the community who have brought a lot issues concerning receiving federal dollars from HUD (Housing and Urban Development) to our attention as of late,” Quinn said, while addressing the commission. “They urge us not to take the funds. There’s claims that there are too many strings attached and that funding may threaten our communities, our living choices or even our local control. The county, I’m glad to say, has many of the same concerns as our community members.” The county’s principal concern with the 2016 CDBG program is the new fair housing assessment tool. All communities that participate the in the 2016 program must use the new tool. “We’re all a little worried at this

point in time — staff members and members of the community — because this is a very confusing thing that HUD has dropped on us,” Quinn said. The county sent a letter to HUD on Aug. 17 identifying concerns with the new tool. One section of the four-page letter reads, “After reviewing the contributing factors identified in the tool, we find many to be contradictory in nature. Addressing one contributing factor may actually create barriers to furthering fair housing in another contributing factor.” The letter requested HUD make improvements and adjustments. “The tool is obviously broken and needs to be fixed or even eliminated from consideration in the future,” Quinn said. But despite the problems, Douglas County decided not to walk away from accepting federal funds for the 2016 year. “Not taking federal funds doesn’t absolve us from having to uphold the 1968 Fair Housing Act,” Quinn said. “The assessment tool, I’m afraid, could become a platform for some specialinterest lawsuits that we quite frankly may not be able to win. The county could actively draw attention to itself by walking away. So, we choose to fight and take a methodical step-by-step approach to trying to fix this before we walk away.” Another argument Douglas County staff had for staying in the program is that that funds disbursed through CDBG are federal tax dollars being returned to the community. “If we can get them back to our community after we paid into them, it makes a lot of sense to find ways to continue to receive them,” Quinn said. “Walking away may literally leave residents out in the cold. They are part of our community and we will not turn our backs on them. We will not punish them because of HUD’s ridiculous rules.”

His voice is deep with a Southern twang. He wears cowboy boots, gray slacks, a purple-and-pink paisley dress shirt with a topcoat. He turns to his audience of about 20 people: “You can forget about all the poisons and toxins of the spiritual body when you praise to the Lord.” His voice booms in the high-ceilinged, expansive space.

Andrea Day and Kathy Tafoya have an emotional conversation as the pastor preaches at the Landmark Tabernacle service on Saturday evening.

‘The Bible isn’t just a book. The spirit of God is something that is real.’ Andrea Day,

25.4

Congregation member had a direct experience with God. Pentecostals study the fundamentals of the Bible but also rely on experience. They believe in speaking in tongues, an unknown language that signifies God’s presence. They’re baptized in Jesus’ name when they first speak in tongues with the Holy Ghost. And their services are unique — energetic and spiritually vibrant, punctuated with song and physical expression that members say reflect their abundant love for God. Prayer is also important because it ignites the Holy Ghost. “You can feel the moving of the spirit of the Lord,” said Krystal Gibson, a member of Landmark Tabernacle for many years. Andrea Day and her husband, Jesse, have attended Landmark Tabernacle’s main campus in Lakewood since they moved to Highlands Ranch about 11 years ago. They attended a Bible study nearby at Hood’s home for 1 ½ years before orga-

nizing Landmark Tabernacle South, the church’s first satellite location. “Our vision was always to grow and have our own space here in Highlands Ranch,” Day said. At Landmark Tabernacle, the service begins with song. Lori Hood, director of music and Hood’s wife, stands at the front of the stage with a drummer, bass player, pianist and three singers behind her. Her voice echoes through the room as she sings. The energy shifts. The men and women start singing, shouting, jumping and waving hands in the air. The room quiets as Hood steps onto the stage. His topic this evening is cleansing the spiritual body. “The negativity around you day to day can drain you,” he says. “You need that spiritual B12 — that Holy Ghost Red Bull.” Hood paces back and forth. Some in the audience yell “Right! Right!” Others nod in agreement. One woman fights back tears. A man shakes his head back and forth. Everyone is moving in one way or another.

Pastor Dannie Hood and his wife, Lori, held Bible study in their living room for a year and a half before opening Landmark Tabernacle at Ranch View Middle School in Highlands Ranch.

WHAT IS PENTECOSTALISM? It’s a branch of evangelical Christianity. Its basis is fundamentals of the Bible. Its beliefs are rooted in the Book of Acts in the New Testament. It believes in personal experience with the Holy Spirit through talking in tongues. Its worship is passionate and outward. Source: http://www.upci.org/about/ about-oneness-pentecostalism The service is alive. “You can really feel the love of God and feel him speaking through,” said Natalie Hood, 21, the eldest of Hood’s four children. “It’s a very outward worship.” The service ends how it began — with song. A few women wipe away tears and clear their throats. Hood mingles among the congregation as members shake hands and hug each other. They smile as they leave the cafeteria, where a tranquil stillness has replaced the exuberant energy. “Some people go to church as a tradition,” Day said. “We go to develop a relationship with God.”

Tour touches on history, beauty New Mexico, Colorado trip offers insights into cultures

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com A number of years ago, members of the Littleton Friends of the Library who shared an interest in history organized a trip to visit a historic Western fort. The trip also involved good food and conversation and a look at interesting spots most hadn’t seen before. Since then, trips have been organized most years: to Kansas along the Santa Fe Trail, where forts were built to protect merchants and settlers; to several New Mexico locations; north to Wyoming and tales of Custer; and to some former military sites in Colorado. On Oct. 8, a big green bus headed south from Littleton toward New Mexico, with more than 50 members on board. The plan was to look at four different cultures — and hopefully, some gorgeous gold aspens. The trip was organized by veteran members Anita and Roy Kannaday and Barb and Stu Brandt, with planning bolstered by a previous trial run by the quartet. Pueblo was the first destination, with a look at Victorian wealth and elaborate lifestyle exemplified by the Thatchers, who built the 37-room Rosemount Mansion in the early 1890s. The property was named for Margaret Thatcher’s favorite flower, and pink rhyolite from Castle Rock was the proper color. It cost about $100,000 to construct and furnish — an enormous amount at that time. Beautiful woodwork, Tiffany chandeliers, hand-painted ceilings, English tile on fireplaces made it a true showplace. Rosemount is one of the historic homes in Colorado operated by History Colorado as part of the museum system. Lunch in the Carriage House Restaurant is a possible add-on.

The group headed south toward Taos, across La Veta Pass with a stop at Colorado’s Fort Garland, established in 1858. Here was a look at a military culture, once commanded by Kit Carson (and never attacked). It is maintained as a museum and an interesting stop to see how those early soldiers lived — including a company of Buffalo Soldiers. Arrival in Taos was in late afternoon, with dinner and a performance by a family of Native American dancers, who explained the ceremonial aspects of the chants and dances and of beautifully crafted costumes. Taos Pueblo is said to be the oldest continuously inhabited community in the U.S., with some adobe structures believed to be 1,000 years old. The tour guide, a college boy, said he, like many others, lived outside the pueblo where water and electricity are available, but families retain an ownership of a pueblo home and many maintain it. (Adobe needs annual care.) An ancient cemetery surrounds the ruins of the original San Geronimo Church, built about 1619 by Spanish priests with Indian labor. Forced Catholicism and slavery led to the Pueblo Revolt in 1680. The difficult history continued as settlers moved in, plus U.S. troops under Territorial Gov. Charles Bent. Today, it is a National Historic Landmark and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where Native Americans teach visitors about their past and present. On a parallel time track, Chimayo was a Spanish colonial village, built in the foothills north of Santa Fe. In the

late 1600s, Spanish settlers built the site in the fertile Santa Cruz River Valley, with church added in the early 1800s. The Sanctuario de Chimayo offers sacred dirt that draws pilgrims each who believe it to have healing properties. Among the original settlers were families of weavers, who still produce textiles and run shops in the village where they demonstrate their craft — and sell the colorful products to visitors, as well as wood carvings and pottery from nearby villages. The Rancho de Chimayo, in a restored hacienda built by the Jaramillo family, is a favorite dinner spot in the village. The morning of Oct. 10 brought the group to the Martinez Hacienda on the edge of Taos — a look at Spanish colonial society as well, built in stages starting in 1804 by Severino Martinez as a home and commercial hub on the Santa Fe Trail. Thick adobe walls and a windowless exterior made it function as a fort if necessary. He also brought trade goods in from Mexico. This is carefully restored and operated as a museum. Finally, the travelers headed through aspen-filled mountains toward Cimarron and the St. James Hotel, circa 1870/80, which was once a stop on the Santa Fe Trail. It takes pride in the bullet holes one can still see in the walls and has a series of portraits of famous gunfighters who shot each other up in the bar. Another facet of the frontier — and one could think that that was still happening when the refined Thatchers built their elegant home in Pueblo.

Super store’s opening was super indeed It was easier to name who wasn’t at the RH, The Gallery at Cherry Creek (Restoration Hardware’s super store) opening soiree on Oct. 14 in the Cherry Creek shopping center then to attempt to call out all 2,500 attendees. The hearty party, ably choreographed by Aiello Public Relations, moved the admiring hordes through all four floors of the home design store that took over the space formerly occupied by Saks Fifth Avenue. While the lookie-loos gawked at all the fabulous fixtures — most notably the chandeliers — they were fueled with fine fare from Epicurean Catering. The party was so massive that the city posted an electronic sign early in the day along First Street warning of traffic issues that evening. Plus, much of the garage parking at the mall was blocked off in anticipation of the valet needs. The new RH store is quite a sight to see. Don’t miss the fourth-floor rooftop garden with spectacular views and outdoor furniture for sale.

People prop up pollinators Local efforts take aim at global epidemic

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County residents are spearheading local initiatives to combat a global issue: the rapid decline of pollinators. Monarch butterflies, honey bees and a host of other insects share space on a rabbitbrush shrub in a pollinator garden at an official monarch way station recently certified by the nonprofit Monarch Watch. Built by Douglas County with the help of Eagle Scout Jack Vasquez, the pollinator garden and way station at the Hidden Mesa Open Space trailhead south of Parker provide a source of milkweed, nectar and shelter on the western fringe of the monarchs’ migratory path through North America. It’s just one of the components in a grassroots effort to save the pollinators, which the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign estimates are responsible for one out of every three bites of food eaten in the U.S, including nuts, fruits, coffee and chocolate. Because of economic impacts to the honey industry, much of the focus has been placed on saving bees. But there are parallel campaigns to prop up all pollinators, from bats and flies to butterflies and birds. “A lot of people don’t put the whole ecosystem together,” said Jackie Sanderson, natural resource specialist for Douglas County Open Space. “They just say, ‘I like plants, but I don’t like bugs.’” But, she pointed out, one often cannot survive without the other, and the ramifications from the domino effect of decline are frightening to consider. A plea to ‘bee’ educated In recent decades, bees have taken on a growing list of enemies — new pathogens and parasites, impacts to their habitat from development, and the aggressive use of pesticides that don’t distinguish between threatened larvae and other insects. Perhaps the most fearsome foe is Colony Collapse Disorder, which the U.S. Department of Agriculture classifies as a “mystery problem” that has caused the global bee population to plummet. The disorder results in a dead colony with no adult bees or dead bee bodies but with a live queen and honey and immature bees still present. Annual losses from the winters of 2006-11 averaged about 33 percent each year in the U.S., with a third of these losses attributed to the disorder by beekeepers. The winter of 2011-2012 was an exception, when total losses dropped to 22 percent, according to the Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service. But in the spring of 2014, beekeepers reported massive colony die-offs and there was a scramble to split surviving colonies to ensure long-term

survival. President Obama’s order in June 2014 to establish a federal task force to discover ways to stave off the epidemic came at a time when several other studies were being conducted by international health organizations, universities and the Apiary Inspectors of America. But Douglas County residents aren’t waiting on any results. Taking meaningful action Diane Roth, chairwoman of the Parker Scientific and Cultural Commission, has been keeping bees with her husband, Jeff, since they moved to town in 1992. It wasn’t until the last year or so she noticed that, even though Parker hosts an annual honey festival, there was no proactive ordinance permitting beekeeping in the town of Parker. She did some research and realized a homeowner had to seek the town’s permission to keep a colony. “There are beekeepers in the town of Parker who weren’t aware that their hives weren’t technically allowed,” she said. After approaching elected leaders, the rules were relaxed and bees were declassified as a “vicious arthropod” in the town’s home rule charter Sept. 21, Roth said. Parker now has the “best ordinance in Colorado,” Jeff Roth told the council. It’s one that allows for two colonies on a quarter-acre lot and up to six colonies on a one-acre lot. The elimination of restrictive regulations “just made sense” given the resurgence in urban beekeeping and changes that have taken place in communities throughout Colorado, including Castle Rock, Diane Roth said. Hanging with ‘Norma Milkweedseed’ Despite being recently certified, the monarch way station at the Hidden Mesa Open Space — like others in Rowley Downs and the Alta Vida Alpaca ranch — has been thriving since last year. That’s due, in part, to the work of Jeannine Colley and her mother, Norma Grigs. Since last fall, the two have driven around Douglas County finding and marking milkweed plants, the only source of food for monarch caterpillars. After collecting as many pods as they can during a fewweek period in the fall, they spend the winter removing the seeds and sorting them into pouches that are then handed out to anyone willing to help. The activity has earned 87-year-old Grigs the nickname “Norma Milkweedseed.” Colley and Grigs got a few hundred milkweed plants started at an experimental garden at Hidden Mesa and planted a handful in the pollinator garden. The native milkweed plants take some care early on, but ultimately become self-sufficient and produce a vibrant flower. Colley and Grigs were inspired to do something about the decline in monarchs after watching “Flight of the Butterflies,” a 2012 documentary that told the story about the long journey the monarchs take between Canada and

Photo by Chris Michlewicz their winter homes in the Michoacán highlands in central Mexico. Colley became “fascinated with these creatures that are so amazing and can do this 2,500-mile flight.” With monarch numbers dropping sharply in the last decade, the immediacy was clear and Colley and her mother created a public education campaign that has hit local schools, senior centers, gardening groups and fairs to drum up support. Sanderson, the county’s natural resources specialist, backed the effort and provided space in the experimental garden for milkweed seedlings. “We think of it as just being the bees — yes, they’re the majority — but native pollinators are also important,” Sanderson said. Colley and Grigs are doing their part, starting small and focusing on one area that Monarch Watch has deemed important: establishing milkweed habitats. “We’re just trying to spread the word about monarchs and that they need help, and encouraging people to plant pollinator gardens that support not only the caterpillar forms of these creatures but the adults,” Colley said. The pollinators include birds, bats, flies and anything that flies from flower to flower and facilitates the pollination process. Grigs said she always thought flies were “worthless” until she found out they were pollinators. After hearing about the plight of monarchs, it only seemed natural to do something to help. Visiting schools and educating children early on is part of preserving the monarchs’ future. “I love their colors and the way they fly, and that was before I knew what a brave and courageous and dedicated little insect it was,” Grigs said. “We can’t let them go extinct. My goodness, we’ve got to save these gorgeous things.”

Mountain Vista claims Continental meet

Mountain Vista sophomore Allie Chipman heads to the finish line Oct. 14 as the winner of the girls varsity race at the Continental League Cross-County Championships. Chipman had a winF ning time of 18:26.00 V T in the race C held at Shea O Stadium. K Photo by Jim M y Benton

Golden Eagles cross-county runners win all six races By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Last June during a team goal-setting barbecue, one of the main objects for the Mountain Vista cross-country runners was to win all six Continental League team and individual titles. That goal was accomplished Oct. 14 during the Continental League CrossCounty Championships on a warm afternoon at Shea Stadium. Vista won the boys and girls varsity races, junior varsity races and open division races. Golden Eagles runners won individual titles in all six races. The top five runners from each school count in the team standings and 27 of the 30 runners that finished among the top five in each race were from Mountain Vista. ”I am really proud of how the kids ran for each other to accomplish our most importan team goal of the season by winning each race,” said coach Jonathan Dalby. Mountain Vista senior Paxton Smith won the boys varsity race with a time 16:49, while Golden Eagles sophomore Allie Chipman was the girls champion as she finished four seconds ahead of Legend senior Catherine Liggett. Chipman’s winning time was 18:26. Smith said the game plan for the boys was to run in a pack, and when it was time near the finish he pulled away. Only Rock Canyon sophomore Chris Theodore broke up a pack of six Mountain Vista runners when he came in fourth. Vista’s girls ran in little packs as Chipman and Liggett were paired together most of the race. “Our goal was to win as a team,” said Chipman. “Our plan was a little different, to have little packs. We kind of knew who was in the race and planned who to run with from other schools. Catherine is a very respectable runner, and I’m glad I get to compete against her.” Liggett relishes competiting against Chipman. “I compete against Allie a lot in races and it’s really exciting to go up against her because I know we’re going to press each other the whole time,” she said. “Allie is a very good competior so being able to stick with her throughout the race, I felt really

‘Stringy,’ Van Dyken set to join hall of fame Former Littleton swimming coach Maurice “Stringy” Ervin and Cherry Creek swimmer Amy Van Dyken-Rouen will be among those inducted into the Colorado High School Activities Association Hall of Fame during ceremonies scheduled for Jan. 27 at the Radisson Hotel-Denver. Ervin was a three-sport letterman for the Lions and led them to state football and basketball championships. He volunteered to be the Littleton swim coach when nobody else could be found, although he didn’t know much about the sport. He researched and learned on the fly, which helped him guide Lions teams to 12 boys and girls state titles. He was always easy to spot at state meets with his purple-checked pants. And he’s always gone with his nickname of Stringy, which was given to him by his father and former Littleton principal, Maurice Sr., who liked philosopher William Stringfellow. Van Dyken-Rouen won six Olympic gold medals after a standout career at Cherry Creek, where she set two state records and led the Bruins to four state titles. After suffering a spinal injury, she has become an instrumental spokesperson for Paralympic athletes. Longtime Englewood High School band director Jeff Gerardi, who is a former director of the Denver Broncos band, will also be inducted. He was the Englewood High School band director from 1967-

1988 and was the citizen of the year in Englewood in 1994. A solid foundation Mountain Vista knows that a good foundation is an excellent way to build a strong crosscountry program. Jim Benton Vista coach Jonathan Dalby OVERTIME credits the program at Mountain Ridge Middle School as of the reason for the Golden Eagles’ recent varsity cross-county success. The Golden Eagles boys have won the past three Class 5A state championships and swept all three (varsity, junior varsity and open) races in the Continental League championships for the past three seasons. The girls have notched Continental League sweeps three of the past four years and finished in the top five at state in 2012 and 2013. Stop by Mountain Vista and on most fall and spring afternoons there are a groups of athletes of high-school age and younger running together. “Coaches Karen Sprakfe, Jermey Estell, Andrea Beckett and Cathie Knutson run the best middle school cross-county pro-

gram in Colorado,” claimed Dalby. “They are the most dedicated group of middle school coaches I have every met and do a great job of focusing on getting kids to enjoy the sport of running, rather than on high-level training before kids are ready. “Focusing on high-level training when kids are too young is a mistake that I see a lot of club-level teams make. We are fortunate to have a group of coaches at the middle level that want to focus on helping kids create a passion for our sport rather than pushing them too hard when they are young.” McCaffrey stirs up memories Christian McCaffrey, a sophomore at Stanford, is doing this fall what he did at Valor Christian with his abilities to dominate a football game. McCaffrey finished with 369 yards of total offense in a 56-35 win over UCLA on Oct. 15. It was the most all-purpose yards this season by any FBS player. He ran for a school record 243 yards on 25 carries and scored four touchdowns. He also had a 96-yard kickoff return, but didn’t score. McCaffrey had 242 yards rushing, four yards on one pass reception and 122 yards on kickoff returns. He now leads the nation, averaging 253 all-purpose yards a game.

Alumni corner Katelin Blosser, a 2013 Wheat Ridge High School graduate, is a junior soccer player at Nebraska Wesleyan and is the Prairie Wolves’ leading scorer with 10 goals and 21 points. She has tallied two hat tricks so far this season. Championship game rematch Valor Christian doesn’t feel it has had time to build a football rivalry with Cherry Creek since the schools have only played twice. However, Valor will be seeking revenge when the teams meet for the third time on Oct. 23 at Valor. Creek defeated Valor twice last season with the first win in a Centennial League game, ending the Eagles’ 28-game winning streak against Colorado teams. The Bruins claimed an epic 25-24 win in last season’s Class 5A state championship game, which denied Valor a sixth consecutive state championship. Valor (3-0, 5-2 overall) is tied with Grandview for the Centennial League lead while Cherry Creek (2-1, 6-1) is coming off a 28-20 loss to Grandview. Creek is ranked No. 2 in the CHSAANow.com poll and Valor is third. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media. He has been covering sports in the Denver area since 1968.

Cherry Creek wins 41st boys tennis title Bruins also capture two individual crowns

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek won only two individual championship matches Oct. 17 during the finals of the Class 5A State High School Tennis Championships at the Gates Tennis Center. Still, the Bruins ran off with the state championship, which marked Creek’s 41st boys title in 44 years, as well as its fourth in a row and 13th in the past 14 seasons. “We stayed strong throughout, and luckily the whole was greater than the sum of the parts,” said coach Art Quinn. “It was a great journey, a testament to the steadfastness of our team to just keep coming. “As always, as most teams go through the adversities of a season what you see is not always what you get. Thanks to our competition for helping us be the best we can be.” Sophomore Mitch Johnson, a No. 2 doubles champion last season for the Bruins, won the No. 3 singles state title. Ben Murray and Spencer Buted were the No. 3 doubles champions. Creek’s Ryan James was the No. 1 singles runner-up, and Robby Hill was fourth at No. 2 singles. Cherry Creek garnered 35 points in singles competition and 37 in doubles, and finished with 75 points as the Bruins’ quality depth was enough to outdistance second-place Fairview, which had 51 points. Creek’s Jacob Bendalin and Erin Norwood were second in No. 1 doubles, and Andy Duggan and Andy Hsu were the No. 2 doubles runners-up. Sam Angell and Stone Heyman were third in No. 4 doubles play. Two other South Metro athletes placed. Heritage’s Ben Blea captured third at No. 3 singles while Mountain Vista’s Ben Antonsen was fourth at No. 1 singles. Mitchell came out strong and held off Boulder’s Cutter Esson for a 6-3, 7-6 win to give Creek its lone singles title.

Valor, Chaparral, Legend advance to state tourney Wolverines top-seeded team in Class 5A bracket Staff report Defending Class 4A state champion Valor Christian along with Chaparral and Legend will play in the Oct. 23-24 state High School Girls Softball Championships at Aurora Sports Park. Valor is seeded third in the 16-team Class 4A bracket, and Chaparral will be the No. 1 seed in the 5A pairings. Legend is the

No. 10 seed. First-round action begins at 10 a.m. Oct. 23 with second-round games starting at 2:30 p.m. Semifinal games in all classes start at 10 a.m. Oct. 24 with championship games set for 1:30 p.m. Valor won the Class 4A Region 4 tournament on Oct. 17 by pounding Vista Peak 15-0 and blanking Thompson Valley 10-0. Elizabeth couldn’t handle Pueblo West in the 4A Region 6 tournament. The Cardinals lost 16-0 to the Cyclones, but they rebounded with a 1-0 victory over Delta. However in a game to determine the region’s second state qualifier, Pueblo West

again shut out the Cardinals 10-0. Ponderosa was defeated 12-2 by Air Academy and dropped an 11-1 game to Holy Family in Region 7. Douglas County, ThunderRidge, Rock Canyon and Mountain Vista failed to advance from Class 5A region action. The Jaguars beat Columbine 2-1, but lost 10-0 to Broomfield, forcing Rock Canyon to play in the second game to qualify for state. Columbine, however, advanced with a 4-0 win. Chaparral won the Class 5A region 8 tournament, but it wasn’t easy as the Wolverines committed a total of 10 errors in the two games.

Emily Moore and Jordan Smith combined for six runs batted in a 9-4 win over Liberty. Rock Canyon scored twice in the bottom of the seventh inning and once in the eighth to pull out a 13-12 win over Pomona. Laura Scheffel hit a two-out double off the leftfield fence to score Britin Strobel with the winning run in the walk-off victory over the Panthers. Legend was upset by Legacy 18-14 in the first game of the Region 3 tournament. The Titans whipped Denver East 11-1 and then claimed a state tournament berth with a 16-6 revenge win over Legacy.

“I played great,” said Mitchell. “I was so nervous. I just came out, I was loose and ready to go. He played great as well. I just came out on top.” Mitchell led 4-1 and 5-2 in the second set, but Esson staged a spirited rally before losing the tiebreaker. “It was really good to win the first set. That took a little pressure off, but after you win that set you have to treat it like you lost it and go out and battle as hard as you can,” added Mitchell. “He came back, hit some great shots in the second set and battled. I hung in there. The finish line was within reach and I got it.” James, a junior who was a No. 3 doubles state champion last season, trailed 5-1 in the third set, climbed back to within 5-4, but lost the No. 1 singles title match. Kat Smith of Boulder started hitting more lobs and took advantage of some unforced errors from James to win 5-7, 6-4, 6-4. “He changed his game a little bit in the third set,” said James. “I tried to adjust to it but didn’t have enough time. The team won, and that was important.”

good.” Vista’s defending Class 5A state champion boys team wound up with 17 points to easily win the varsity team championship as Rock Canyon (76 points) was second and Legend (102) third. The Golden Eagles varsity girls wound up with 26 points as Rock Canyon (95) was second and ThunderRidge third (99).

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF OCT. 19, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Some flashes of Aries ire might erupt as you confront an unusually bewildering situation. But you should be able to keep your temper under control as you work through it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) That marriage ‘twixt the arts and practicality that Taureans excel at once again highlights your enjoyment of much of the week. However, you need to watch any sudden urge to splurge. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Even with all the plusses apparently outweighing the minuses, you still might want to defer an important decision to make sure you have all the facts you need. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) One or two problems might threaten to derail otherwise smoothly running situations at work or at home. But a few well-placed words should help get things back on track quickly. LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas in the spotlight to open your generous Lion’s hearts and share the glory with those who helped you accomplish so much along the way. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might want to get advice from someone who’s been there and knows these situations better than you do, before investing time or money (or both) in a questionable matter. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Be careful how you handle a workplace matter that seems out of place in the schedule you’ve prepared. Before you act, one way or another, find out who set it up and why. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your entertainment aspect is strong this week. Besides providing a wonderful break from everyday obligations, sharing fun times brings you closer to those you care for. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Having a weekend fun fest? Your friend or relative who’s down in the emotional dumps could perk up if you find a way to include him or her in your plans.

Super Crossword & Sudoku Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) If you’re in one of those “the Goat knows best” periods, you might want to ease up and try listening to what others have to say. You could learn something. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) That new challenge is getting closer, and you should be out there now showing facts and figures to potential allies to help persuade them to rally to your support. Good luck. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Getting a head start on holiday plans could help free up some time later to spend on other projects. Meanwhile, a colleague has some ideas that you might find worth discussing. BORN THIS WEEK: You are always there for others, and sometimes you need to be reminded that you need to be there for yourself as well. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
