Bright lights bring prizes Winners announced in annual HRCA contest

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Highlands Ranch Community Association’s annual Holiday House Decorating Contest had 17 entries this year. Participants were asked to complete an online entry with a photo by Dec. 5, and the community voted online Dec. 7 through Dec. 11.

Meet the winners: First place The DePoty family, at Blackbird Place, near South University Boulevard and South Quebec Street, went with a “Star Wars” theme this year following the premiere of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

Ron, his wife Megan, and their two boys spent three consecutive weekends decorating their home. Every year it gets bigger and better, Ron said.

What will they do with the $200 prize?

“Probably pay the electrical bill,” Ron said, jokingly.

Second place Hunter Bogle, 13, at Bentwood Circle, off Wildcat Reserve Parkway near Southridge Recreation Center, sketched out a plan with his mother and stepfather before decorating their home, which took about a month. Their theme was all things Christmas with a dancing Santa on the doorstep and candy canes scattered throughout the yard. Hunter was initially interested when a neighbor down the street participated in the contest and won.

What will they do with the $100 prize?

“We will go out and buy more decorations for next year so we can try to win first,” Hunter said.

Hunter Bogle, 13, and his mother and stepfather took second place for their festive display on Bentwood Circle, off Wildcat Reserve Parkway. “We wanted to take on the Christmas spirit,” Bogle said.

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School District has proposed a new K-8 school that will be modeled after Plum Creek Academy — which caters to high school students with significant emotional and behavioral needs — to service the same population of children at the elementary and middle school levels.

The proposed school is expected to have a maximum enrollment of about 120 students, depending on the size and space of the facility.

District officials said they would like to find a location near the I-25 corridor, but a potential site has not yet been found.

Plum Creek Academy, in Highlands Ranch, serves about 50 high school students from throughout the district with severe emotional and behavioral needs. But for younger students, the district purchases services from outside of the district. At this time, nearly 30 of those students are sent to out-of-district options.

“We feel this is something that is an absolutely imperative and needed for kids,” said Jason Germain, the district’s chief student advocacy officer. “We feel like even Education continues on Page 11

The Rohr family received third place for its “wooded wonderland” theme on Cottoncreek Drive, near Lincoln Avenue. “We really enjoy decorating our house,” Jeff Rohr said.

“We do a big display for Halloween and Christmas.”

Third place The Rohr family, at Cottoncreek Drive, in south Highlands Ranch off Lincoln Avenue, had a “wooded wonderland” theme this year with a number of unique trees decorated in their front yard. The

family participates in the contest because of the enjoyment it brings to them and the neighborhood.

What will they do with the $50 prize?

“We will put it right back into the house for next year’s decorations,” Jeff Rohr said.

Still finding ‘Faces Never Forgotten’ Project aims to match photos to Vietnam veterans

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Last June, Janna Hoehn reached out to Colorado Community Media for help with a huge project, and readers stepped up in a big way.

“The response has been amazing,” she said. “…Our heroes’ stories and sacrifice will never be forgotten.”

She is working on the “Faces Never Forgotten” project, created to find a photo of every single one of the 58,300 soldiers listed on the

Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. “Putting a face with a name changes the whole dynamic of the wall,” she said. “It keeps our fallen heroes’ memories alive and will honor them.”

In June, Hoehn was specifically looking for 10 names from Arapahoe County and seven from Douglas County. With the help of readers throughout those counties, she’s down to just six and four, respectively.

Once found, all photos will be submitted to the “Wall of Faces” online memorial with the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, as well as to the planned education center

expected to be built adjacent to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

“I had always hoped I could to do something for the Vietnam veterans,” said Hoehn. “The way they were treated when they returned, it was disgraceful.”

Even just the name of the schools the person attended can help, she says, and any bit of information somebody might have can’t hurt.

To submit a photo or for more information, email Hoehn at neverforgotten2014@gmail.com.

To see photos of lost and fallen soldiers that have already been collected, visit www.vvmf.org.

Since Colorado Community Media ran the story in June, Hoehn has received photos of: James D. Hakes Jr., Martin E. Loving, Michael F. Matthews, Donald L. Senti and John P. Wright from Arapahoe County; and Jimmy E. Marchesi, Alva N. Myrick II, Jerome J. Rigenberg and Robert Worrell from Douglas County.

10-year-old finds miracle in canine friend Stink Bug Project pairs sick children with companion dogs

FAST FACTS ABOUT CYCLIC VOMITING SYNDROME

By Alex DeWind adewind@colorado communitymedia.com Patrick Kaplan, 10, walked out of his house on a wintry, midDecember day to find a Labrador retriever in his yard. The dog, named Bindy, would help Patrick cope with his longtime illness called cyclic vomiting syndrome, or CVS. “I was so happy,” Patrick said.

“I finally got my miracle.”

Patrick, who lives in Centennial, was diagnosed with CVS when he was 8 years old. The chronic condition involves episodes of nausea and vomiting, which often occur while he is sleeping.

The condition is rare and affects about 2 percent of school-age children, according to Mayo Clinic.

When Patrick’s parents, Denise and Scott, discovered there was no fix for their son’s condition, they contacted the Stink Bug Project through Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation, at 5349 Marshall Street in Arvada, in hopes of getting their son a companion dog.

The family couldn’t have asked for a better solution, Denise said.

The Stink Bug Project started in 2010 with a girl named Allison Winn and her dog Coco. At 6 years old, Allison, of Colorado, was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor that required surgery and chemotherapy. After many visits to the doctor’s office, Allison started calling her cancer “stink bug.”

To help her cope with her

It involves intense episodes of nausea or vomiting that can last for hours or days.

It affects all ages.

It’s difficult to diagnose because vomiting is a part of other illnesses.

Its cause is unknown.

It can result in dehydration, injury to the food tube and tooth decay.

Source: www.mayoclinic.org

Patrick, 10, and Bindy, a 2-year-old Labrador retriever, share a unique relationship of work and play. “Just knowing she is here calms me,” Patrick said. Photo by Alex DeWind stink bug, she got a puppy from the Prison-Trained K-9 Companion Program, where prisoners train dogs that are rescued from humane societies.

Allison, who survived and now studies at Denver School of the Arts, saw the difference a dog could make in a sick child’s life and she wanted to help others like her. “… I began selling homemade dog biscuits and lemonade and raised enough money to pay for the adoption of a trained companion dog for a child with a brain tumor,” she wrote on Stink Bug Project’s website.

The Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation carried

on Allison’s deed and partnered with Prison-Training K-9 Program at Colorado Correctional Industries to form the Stink Bug Project.

The process works like this: A prisoner spends 12 weeks training a dog. The pair spends every day together and shares a cell at night. The prisoner is required to keep a log of the dog’s progress and is supervised to guarantee a thorough job.

“They really work very hard and they become committed to it,” said Lee Shaughnessy, program director for the Stink Bug Project.

The Stink Bug Project then adopts the dog, covers medical

costs and gives it to a child with a pediatric diagnosis from a children’s hospital.

And it’s been successful.

The Stink Bug Project has provided roughly 55 dogs for ill children across Colorado, according to Shaughnessy.

“The unconditional love you get from a dog is really comforting and reassuring to a kid who is sick,” she said.

When Patrick’s mother, Denise, saw the Stink Bug Project in a mailer, she immediately reached out.

Patrick was paired with Bindy, originally bred to be a guide dog for the blind. But when she failed her initial training test, she was

donated to the Stink Bug Project.

And she was the perfect match for Patrick, who can vomit unexpectedly in his sleep. Bindy is a companion and an alert dog.

She will act up and bark or whine if Patrick is showing signs of his illness, providing a sense of security for the entire family, Denise said.

“We finally have peace of mind,” she added. “We don’t constantly have to question or wonder because Bindy tells us before Patrick gets sick. It’s like she has an internal sensor.”

The Stink Bug Project has helped Patrick cope with his very own stink bug and live like a normal kid. He’s now able to do activities that his illness once prohibited, like going to school, sporting events and birthday parties.

With Bindy beside him, through it all.

“Just knowing she is here,” Patrick said, “calms me.”

A place for peace Mother Cabrini Shrine offers spiritual sanctuary

By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com Sacred spaces — places for peace, reflection and spiritual communion — can be difficult to find in the highly developed Front Range.

But one such place stands to the south of Lookout Mountain, north of I-70, overlooking Golden and the entire region.

The Mother Cabrini Shrine has offered a respite for the weary for more than 100 years, and continues to provide spiritual clarity and solace for all visitors regardless of faith or religion.

“We have thousands of visitors a year,” wrote Sister Roselle Santivasi, in an email interview. “They come mainly to pray, and we do have regulars that come often to visit us.”

The shrine includes the Stone House, a 22-foot statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the convent of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, as well as a grotto around the shrine’s spring, a rose quartz Sacred Heart and the 373-step stairway of prayer, which also features the Stations of the Cross.

Mother Cabrini, whose given name was Francesca Cabrini, founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Italy. They were invited to the Denver area by a priest in 1902 to help serve the immigrant population and serve the commu-

nity, according to information provided

by Anna Dodd, the shrine’s retreat and marketing coordinator.

“At the time of their arrival to Colorado, the sisters discovered that there was a need for a girls’ orphanage. They had Queen of Heaven Orphanage for girls built just outside of the then-city of Denver, where years later it would rest on Federal Boulevard,” Dodd wrote. “Mother Cabrini loved the orphans and wanted a summer home for them outside of the city, and that’s where we come in.”

It took three transactions for Cabrini to acquire the 500 acres that would eventually be named in her honor. During a return visit in 1912, she found a natural spring on the property, commissioned the Stone House for the orphans, dedicated the hill to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and formed a rose quartz Sacred Heart of stones at the top.

“Mother Cabrini wanted a summer home for the orphan girls that was away from the city and nested in the beauty of the Rocky Mountains,” Dodd wrote. “Since her death, we have developed into a place of pilgrimage and prayer in her honor and in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.”

As a pilgrimage site, the shrine grew in popularity over the years, particularly during the summer through mid-fall. The orphanage was disbanded in early 1970s, which is when retreats started being offered at the shrine, according to Shellie Marsh, gift shop manager and accountant.

The shrine now offers group and her-

There’s a conference room for business and religious retreats and planning meetings, complete with a projector screen, podium and large conference table.

The hermitage option provides retreatants with solitude and rooms with a view of the Statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

“Most of our self-led day or overnight retreats are for Catholics and Christians who are seeking time alone with God for prayer and reflection,” Dodd wrote. “We rent out the whole historic Stone House, once used for the orphans now used as our retreat house, for overnight and day

WHO WAS MOTHER CABRINI? Francesca Cabrini grew up in northern Italy where the community had a great devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. She always had a desire to be a missionary, especially in China.

She was a teacher by profession, but a desire to enter a religious community of sisters struck her and she sought out a missionary community. In her journey, she was denied entry into religious communities because of her poor health.

The work of her sisters brought her to the attention of Pope Leo XIII, who sent her to America through the port of New York City, to work with Italian Immigrants in 1889.

Proposed motorsport regulations stir debate Motocross community concerned about rules; other residents want to preserve quiet

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Temporary regulations on motorsport uses on rural residential land in Douglas County have spurred a collision of competing values between county residents who want the freedom to use their land the way they want to for motorsport activities and those who want to protect the quiet, rural living environment they enjoy.

“The noise can become unbearable,” Bob Spenser, a non-motorsport user, said at a recent public workshop on the issue.

“Those of us that place a premium on quiet in a rural neighborhood do have some concerns.”

But professional motocross racer Todd Bannister, a former Douglas County resident, talked of the importance of having a home track to practice on when he was growing up — along with the sport’s family aspect. k “It has always been the greatest thing of amy life,” he said.

Debate on the issue has ensued since the Douglas County Board of County -Commissioners on Oct. 27 placed tempo.rary regulations on motorsport uses, while directing staff to establish permanent zoning regulations.

County staff faces the challenge of preserving the visions of both sides through possible regulatory changes that clarify what motorsports activities are allowed without additional limitations and also identify a level of motorsports activities that are either prohibited or subject to additional land-use regulations.

According to Jeanette Bare, planning manager for the Douglas County Department of Community Development, clear regulations didn’t exist before the October decision.

“There were some citizens that approached the board requesting clarification on when motorsports activities were allowed on rural properties,” Bare said.

“There have been complaints and discussion on it in the past and the board felt it was time to clarify what the limits on the uses were.”

Those residents worry about noise, visual and environmental impact of such activities.

Under the temporary regulations, motorsports activities are allowed for person-

WORDS TO KNOW Motorsports: The operation of motor vehicles, motorcycles, off-highway vehicles, and/or snowmobiles for practice, education, recreation or competition.

Motorsports facility: A facility consisting of a continuous track specifically designed for motorsports vehicle use as its exclusive or primary function, which includes one or more artificially created obstacles such as jumps, loops, barriers, hurdles, moguls, and bridges and which requires more than 50 cubic yards of grading, erosion and sediment control.

Motorsports, accessory: Operation of motorsports vehicles for personal use where any onsite improvements do not constitute a motorsports facility.

Motorsports facility, private: A facility which is intended for personal use.

Motorsports facility, public: A facility which is generally open to members of the public or a motorsports club.

al use by a property owner in rural zone districts on land with a residence in place.

Also allowed are off-road vehicles used for agricultural or land management purposes. But commercial or club activities are prohibited.

The intent of regulations is not to restrict people from riding on their lots, Bare said, but more to provide a way to deal with the proposal of formal tracks or facilities. Those who already have tracks on their land are grandfathered in and there is no restriction against riding on private property that does not have a track.

“What residents are questioning now is certain motorsports facilities that are of a nature or scale that they aren’t accessory anymore — they are beginning to look more commercial or club in nature,” Bare said.

At a Dec. 9 public workshop — the first of several planned on the issue — residents spoke specifically about concerns with a track being built on a property in Larkspur.

That track has not been put to use yet.

According to Bare, the property owner began construction without meeting proper requirements and the county stopped the construction.

The building of that track was a catalyst

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Motorsports are allowed as an accessory — or additional — use without further regulation on land where a residence is established on a minimum of 4.5 acres.

Motorsports facilities for private use are allowed on land where a residence is established on a minimum of 9 acres, with approval.

Noise limits have been established by the State of Colorado, and Douglas County cannot apply more stringent standards. The established noise limits are 96 decibels for vehicles produced after 1998 and 55 decibels 25 feet beyond a property boundary in the daytime.

Possible facility limitations include for bringing the issue of motorsports regulations forward again, Bare said.

Douglas County has an estimated 10 to 20 motorsport tracks. Several of those property owners attended the workshop to voice support for the sport and concerns about the regulations.

“My kids have no place to practice unless I build a track on my property — and so I did,” said Bridgett Paris, adding that motocross tracks are not as accessible as basketball courts.

Motorsports enthusiasts also worry they might be unable to enjoy the sports on their land with friends and family if the number of riders at one time is limited by regulations.

minimum setbacks to provide an adequate separation for noise mitigation; maximum use area to limit site disturbance; maximum track lengths to limit site disturbance and potential noise impacts; and site plans to depict the proposed facility, grading and any visual buffering or screening.

Possible operational limitations include: hours of operation, including times of day; total number of hours per day and days per year; the maximum number of riders allowed at one time and per day; and vehicle type or limit on engine size.

Over the next six months, county staff will work with the Board of Commissioners and the planning commission to establish permanent regulations. There will also be a public comment period and at least one more public workshop. Then, staff will review regulations before bringing them back to commissioners for approval.

“We know that there are some competing values at play here,” Bare said. “Those who want to enjoy the quiet environment and those who want to engage in recreation activities on their land. The challenge for us is to preserve both opportunities — to balance both interests and come up with something that will work for everyone.”

Jamie LaRue named Rotary Person of the Year LaRue served as executive director of Douglas County Libraries from 1990 to 2014

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Jamie LaRue has been honored as the Rotary Person of the Year for Castle Rock.

The Rotary Club of Castle Rock and the Castle Rock High Noon Rotary Club made the presentation at the Dec. 15 Castle Rock Town Council meeting.

LaRue was director of the Douglas County Libraries from 1990 to 2014 and will begin a new job with the American Library Association in January.

“This is the job I’ve been training for my whole life,” LaRue said.

In LaRue’s time at the Douglas County

library system, it expanded from one library in Castle Rock to full-service libraries in Castle Rock, Parker, Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree, in addition to other branch libraries and bookmobiles serving nearly every part of the county. New libraries are under construction in Parker, Lone Tree and Castle Pines.

Gordon Allott, president of the Rotary Club of Castle Rock, said LaRue was critical to the success of the library system.

“Local library parking lots are full,” Allot said as evidence of LaRue’s success. “The libraries are one of the centerpieces of their towns. His legacy is that he has built a place where people come to get knowledge.”

Al Wonstolen, member of the Rotary Club of Castle Rock and chair of the selection committee, said LaRue “didn’t want to just build a place for books, he wanted a place for people to gather.”

After LaRue was honored at the council

meeting, he expressed gratitude. He said he was honored to be recognized by the Rotary clubs because one of the founding precepts of Rotary is to make their communities stronger. In addition to being the founding president of the Castle Rock High Noon Rotary Club, he was also at one time a member of the Rotary Club of Castle Rock.

LaRue is the author of “The New Inquisition: Understanding and Managing Intellectual Freedom Challenges,” and also

wrote a weekly column in several Colorado newspapers — including the News-Press.

He was the Colorado Librarian of the Year in 1998, the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce’s 2003 Business Person of the Year, and in 2007 won the Julie J. Boucher Award for Intellectual Freedom.

In his new post, LaRue will monitor access, censorship and confidentiality as it applies to library use and intellectual freedom.

TOP FIVE SOUTH METRO STORIES OF THE YEAR

2015 was a bridge to the past, future T

idy as it is to wrap 2015 up with a bow, the issues and emotions of the year’s top stories weren’t born on Jan. 1, nor were they set to expire Dec. 31.

Consider how an Arapahoe High School student’s murder in 2013 brought about change in 2015 that will impact policy for years to come.

Consider the factors that led to Douglas County School Board members being ousted. And the factors that led to housing prices swelling. Those issues aren’t going away soon.

Consider the joy of victory in the athletic arena, rooted in years of preparation and setting a foundation for future success. , Consider all the growth and development — which has been building for years — around us.

Where are we headed?

While taking a look back can’t necessarily answer that, we hope sharing the top five stories of the year — as chosen by Colorado Community Media staff and presented in no particular order — is a worthwhile exercise. If nothing else, it helps illustrate how we got here, on the verge of a new year.

Here we come, 2016.

Working toward improved school safety Throughout 2015, the Davis family continued efforts to ensure the death of their daughter, Claire, would result in a legacy.

Those efforts resulted in two new pieces of state legislation. One recognizes the responsibility of schools to protect their students and staff from reasonably foreseeable acts of violence and provides a narrow definition of the circumstances in which a lawsuit could be brought.

The second creates a permanent committee on school safety and youth mental health.

In January, that committee will review reports created through the arbitration between Littleton Public Schools and the Davis family.

Claire Davis died in the Dec. 13, 2013, shooting at Arapahoe High School in Centennial. Classmate Karl Pierson fatally wounded her before killing himself.

LPS’ own committee issued an eightpage report in 2015. It found that more emphasis should be on prevention rather than intervention and listed 10 recommendations to improve the district’s safety procedures, mental-health programs and communication systems.

It ends with the suggestion that the board reauthorize the committee to continue its work.

Two years after Claire Davis’ death, Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch may have averted a similar incident.

On Dec. 12, two girls were arrested after allegedly making a threat against the school.

The threat was reported to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office through Text-A-Tip, a system that allows high school students to convey concerns about safety, drugs and other issues anonymously.

New faces on Douglas County School Board Opponents of the Douglas County

The stories of our year are everywhere Rock Canyon players celebrate the school’s first baseball championship May 27 at All City Field in Denver. The Jaguars defeated Chatfield 9-2. File photo School District’s reform policies of the past several years made inroads in the November election.

By wide margins, three challengers unseated reform-minded incumbents. David Ray, Anne-Marie Lemieux and Wendy Vogel each picked up about 60 percent of the vote behind the support of teachers and parents dissatisfied with policies put forth by the board, including pay-for-performance for teachers.

New board members have advocated for more community involvement and discussion in board decisions and would like to see a districtwide survey of teachers and parents.

The board still has a 4-3 majority of those supporting the reform efforts. Meghann Silverthorn was elected president of the board by fellow members and Judith Reynolds was elected vice president.

Both votes were 4-3.

Rent, home prices on the rise Rents took off like a rocket in 2015, rising by 4.7 percent in Colorado, according to apartmentlist.com, which tracks prices in the state and nation. That outpaced the national average of 4 percent.

A two-bedroom unit in Colorado averaged $1,350 in November, the most recent month in which statistics were available.

Finding that price in the Denver metro area, however, would have been quite a deal.

Rent in Denver proper averaged $1,670 for a two-bedroom — a figure that would have pleased renters in Highlands Ranch, where the average monthly payment was $1,800. Other south metro communities, including Centennial and Littleton, also saw rents surge above the $1,500 mark.

Prices climbed, experts say, due to low vacancy rates in Denver and its suburbs and higher demand for housing because of population increases, a trend owing in large part to the metro area being among the top places in the nation for Millennials to relocate.

As a result, several apartment projects are being planned or under construction in cities such as Englewood, Parker and Littleton.

Those looking to buy may also have encountered sticker shock. The median home value in the metro area went up 16.1 percent this year to approximately $328,000, and online real estate database

Zillow predicts it will rise another 5 percent in 2016.

Home prices rose fast in Douglas County, with the median sales price in most communities averaging about $400,000 in November. Lone Tree saw the biggest year-over-year rise at 14 percent. The median sales price for November: $785,000.

Title towns Schools in the south metro area continued their reign on Colorado High School Activities Association state team championships.

Local schools won 11 championships and finished second nine times in the 22 sports that compete for state titles. That doesn’t include the numerous athletes who won individual titles in sports like wrestling, track, cross country and tennis.

Cherry Creek and Valor, two of Colorado’s dominant sports programs, each racked up four state championships.

Creek bagged state titles in boys and girls tennis, and won in boys lacrosse and hockey.

Valor won top honors in Class 5A football, 4A boys golf, 4A girls basketball and 4A softball.

But they were not alone.

Rock Canyon won the 2015 5A state baseball title, Mountain Vista won the 5A boys cross country crown and Lutheran was the 3A boys track champion.

A developing story People took sides when it came to prairie dogs.

The critters lived on a swath of land that was part of a major retail project, the Promenade at Castle Rock, and they had to go to allow for development. After some wrangling over their fate — extermination was in the cards — in the spring, many of them were relocated to a more rural portion of Douglas County.

Development pushed on in Castle Rock, as it did throughout the south metro area.

To some, moving prairie dogs out of their colony was a symbol of what was being lost — open space, ties to nature, Colorado as it once was.

To others, it symbolized the area south of Denver was reaching its full potential as a place of thriving businesses, affluent residents and coveted land.

The Promenade was just one of many developments that won approval, broke

Among the larger trend and breaking news stories, though, are ordinary ones that shine a light on the human spirit, the joys and sorrows of everyday life, the people in our neighborhoods who reach out and make a difference.

Some of those stories over the past year included: Communities that rallied behind their own such as Susan Cash, a teacher, and Dalton Levine, a teen dancer, valiantly fighting battles against cancer.

A young Somali refugee, blinded in the strife of his native land, struggling to provide for his younger siblings after their mother’s sudden death.

A Girl Scout who developed a program to help seniors navigate the challenges of technology.

A 7-year-old boy who used his allowance to buy stuffed animals for children at Ronald McDonald house.

The complex, yet invisible, issue of homelessness in the suburbs.

Families who shared their struggles — and accomplishments — with chronic illnesses, such as epilepsy.

The legacies of longtime community members such as Nancy Gripman in Parker and former Castle Rock Police Chief Tony Lane.

The touching memorial for a young man who died from complications of complex cerebral palsy and drew hundreds in Rockies purple to honor him.

A World War II veteran’s financial plight and the community that responded so he could stay in his home.

These stories surround us every day.

They document day-to-day living and provide the heartbeat and fabric that weave us together. We only need to listen.

ground or continued to make progress in 2015.

Littleton Village, The Jones District in Centennial and the Central Park development in Highlands Ranch each are mixeduse projects comprising dozens of acres.

In Parker, residential developments given the green light were signs of a town that is projected to add tens of thousands of residents in the next 20 years.

Meanwhile, the biggest development of all, Sterling Ranch, broke ground in northwest Douglas County after 12 years of planning, approval and protest. At build-out roughly 20 years from now, it will have all the trappings of a small city.

Refugee’s path takes wrenching turn GoFundMe account created as siblings face life without mother

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Yasin Mohamud does not have words to explain the difficult situation he finds himself in, but his story does not need many to understand its depths.

The young man, who is blind and has limited English fluency, is suddenly motherless and responsible for two younger siblings, including a sister badly injured in the accident that killed their mother.

Amid that upheaval, local residents have created a GoFundMe account to assist the three Somali refugees with funeral costs, medical expenses and basic living needs.

“I am feeling sad,” Mohamud said. “My mom was kind and loving. She was a good mother. But now it’s just the two children and me, and I’m blind. But I want to work.

I will continue to keep on with school and the center. I’m not going to quit.”

Mohamud was born 21 years ago in the East African country of Somalia, perhaps best known among Americans for the violence depicted in the 2001 movie “Black Hawk Down” and for the pirates who kidnapped the real-life “Captain Phillips,” on whom the 2013 film with that name was based.

In 2008, at a time when Somalia topped the list of failed states internationally, Mohamud’s father was a soldier with the government-led military. He was helping to battle rebel groups in an effort to regain control of the country.

Mohamud remembers well the day that Al-Shabaab militants showed up at

his family’s doorstep, looking for his father. Then just a teenager, Mohamud told the militants he didn’t know his father’s whereabouts.

So, he said, they gouged his eyes out.

The rebels eventually found his father and killed him, leaving his mother, Habibo, with Mohamud and his two younger siblings. They fled to Ethiopia.

“My country is broken, and the government,” Mohamud said.

Getting started in America After being granted refugee status, the four family members made their way to Colorado three years ago. Mohamud’s mother and 17-year-old sister, Nunai, found work at the Cargill meatpacking plant in Fort Morgan, where a Somali community is thriving.

According to a county document titled “Morgan County: A Land of Immigrants,” the Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid of a Greeley meatpacking plant in 2006 led to a shortage of workers in the industry. Hispanics became reluctant to fill the slots they traditionally had.

But the number of Somali refugees entering Colorado has been on a steady increase, rising from 87 in 2000 to 400 in 2014. And many are eager for jobs that require little English, so the meatpacking plant became a natural fit.

However, housing in Fort Morgan can be difficult to come by, so Habibo, Nunai and younger brother Farnan, now 12, settled into an apartment in Denver.

In the meantime, Mohamud enrolled at the Colorado Center for the Blind in Littleton, along with the Spring International Language Center based at Arapahoe Community College. He’s been work-

Andrew Farris, of Highlands Ranch, graduated with a bachelor’s degree in architecture from Judson University.

Samantha Flower, of Highlands Ranch, earned the dean’s scholarship to attend Cornell College.

Claire Griffin, of Highlands Ranch, recently performed in the Christmas at Belmont concert, which was taped live and aired on PBS during the holidays. Griffin is a commercial music major at Belmont University.

Anne C. Lyons, of Highlands Ranch, was named to the Straight-A Average fall 2015 scholastic honor roll at Oregon State University. Lyons is a freshman majoring in pre-environmental engineering.

Amy Morrison, of Highlands Ranch, was initiated into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest and most selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines. Morrison was initiated at the University of Kansas. Morrison also earned a bachelor’s degree in speechlanguage-hearing with a minor in psychology from the University of Kansas.

Graham H. Smith, of Highlands Ranch, was named to the Straight-A Average fall 2015 scholastic honor roll at Oregon State University. Smith is a sophomore majoring in pre-business.

HOW TO HELP Go online to gofundme.com/ miracleforyasin to assist Yasin Mohamud and his two younger siblings with expenses. ing diligently since to learn English and Braille, as well as to travel with a cane and to master other independent-living skills.

“He’s just a typical 21-year-old,” said Kimberley McCutcheon, director of career and student services at the center for the blind. “He is funny and bright and questions everything, and he has a mind of his own. He’s very motivated, and he has ideas in mind for what he wants to do.”

But just as life seemed to be looking up, Habibo and Nunai — driving home from their job on Thanksgiving Day — encountered a slick patch.

“My mom was thrown out of the car, out through the window onto the street,” Mohamud said. “My mom died. My sister’s back is broken in three places.”

That means he is now the legal guardian of his two younger siblings, and that the future for all of them is uncertain.

Daunting tasks await With only a basic grasp of English and Braille, Mohamud knows the challenge he faces to find a job to support the three of them. He’s been living in housing provided by the center for the blind, but now he’ll move to the Denver apartment. The landlord gave his OK to that plan, and Mohamud is working on obtaining food assistance and Social Security benefits.

“Unfortunately, as a visually impaired,

full-time student who is currently unemployed, he will be hard pressed to make ends meet with two additional mouths to feed,” reads a GoFundMe page set up by staff at the Spring center to help with funeral costs, medical expenses and basic needs.

The page had raised $1,500 from 24 people as of Dec. 10, and Shirlaine Castellino, director of the Spring center, delivered another $560 in cash offered up by the center’s staff.

“This will no doubt be a sad holiday season for the Mohamud family,” reads the GoFundMe page. “But perhaps, with enough small contributions from those who have the spirit of giving still in their hearts, his burden will be eased some.”

Despite the tragedies experienced in his homeland, Mohamud yearns to return to Somalia when his brother turns 18.

The country has settled down some since 2013, when the United States recognized its government for the first time in more than two decades. But Mohamud has a more personal reason.

“My wife, Estile, is in Somalia,” he said, grinning. “We got married on the phone. I haven’t met her yet.”

Such a marriage is a common tradition in the Muslim faith, noted Connie Shoemaker, co-founder and director emerita of the Spring center.

But until then, the Mohamud family has plenty of support here.

“We hope he feels that he has a community behind him no matter what, and that he won’t be forgotten after a couple of months,” McCutcheon said. “The center will continue to be his family forever, and continue to look after him and help him craft a future for himself and his family.”

Focus on not dropping the ball What happens when we make a simple error or mistake? We might own up to it and say something like, “I dropped the ball on that one.”

And as we wind down the regular season of the National Football League, we have certainly seen plenty of our favorite teams and players drop plenty of passes. And I am not talking about just the difficult passes, you know, the “should have” caught if only they tried harder and stretched a little further; no, I am also referring to those passes that hit them right in their hands. And in many cases as they dropped the ball, they also watched an opportunity for victory slip right through their fingers.

Now there are players who make difficult catches look seemingly easy, effortless and graceful. They snatch one-handed grabs from the middle of the air while walking a tightrope along the sideline or while performing an acrobatic maneuver typically reserved for a circus act or Cirque du Soleil

show. They grasp the opportunity for victory with each attempt thrown in their direction.

As we enter into the New Year and as we seek new opportunities of our own, we can learn from all of those opportunities that may Michael Norton have slipped through our own fingers over WINNING the past year, those opportunities where we WORDS just maybe “dropped the ball on that one.”

Looking back on the history of our events, actions, decisions and choice of words is one of the best ways that we can plot our course for success in the coming year. We can reflect back and think about how we can avoid the traps and

Columnists & Guest Commentaries The Herald features a limited number of regular columnists, found on these pages and elsewhere in the paper, depending on the typical subject the columnist covers. Their opinions are not necessarily those of the Herald.

Answer one easy question ... oh, and happy new year I want to wish you a happy new year, and to quiz you too.

I am sure that you know that 2016 will be an election year, and that it is likely that we will be bombarded with rhetoric, promises and solicitations.

It is hard to believe that the sitting president was elected almost eight years ago.

It means that your son or daughter could have started and finished high school, and started and finished college.

When I voted in 2008, I stood in line for almost two hours at a Highlands Ranch recreation center.

I thought the holdup was confined to the recreation center, but that evening I found out that there were voting problems all over metro Denver.

In 2012, I voted by mail. Much better.

I’ll be in bed by midnight on New Year’s Eve. The dog and I will be awakened by fireworks.

I may have a juice glass of eggnog, and that will be about it.

I am as dull as a post when it comes to celebrations, and the thought of being on the

pitfalls that caused us to drop the ball so that we can focus on and identify all of those things we did right, all of those times where we made the catch and grasped the opportunity to succeed.

Now in the NFL, players who consistently drop passes quickly find out that NFL stands for something other than the National Football League. They find out that NFL could also mean “not for long” as their consistently poor performance places their career in jeopardy.

How consistent are we? How many passes do we drop? What do our statistics look like as we analyze how many times we have had an opportunity and we simply dropped the ball? And again, not just the stretch goals and hard-to-reach opportunities for success, I am talking about the simple balls of life that come our way and we let them slip right through our fingers.

road after midnight is frightening.

There will be an accident and DUI tally in the paper soon afterward.

A number of films have been set around New Year’s Eve, like “When Harry Met Sally,” “The Poseidon AdCraig Marshall Smith venture” and “Radio QUIET Days.”

My favorite is DESPERATION your quiz.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Are local students losing a chance?

Recently, the Douglas County School Board was asked to approve expansion of the STEM High and Academy to include grades K-5. While I applaud the need to have a charter school that has that focus, I question if local tax dollars should fund out-of-district students.

The STEM Academy currently enrolls the highest number of out-of-district students compared to other charter schools.

During the 2014-15 school year, close to 25 percent of the school population was out-of-district students, of which over $130,000 of local tax override funds went to these out-of-district students for enrolling at STEM. How many of these out-of-district students took away a spot from in-district students, similar to what happens at other charter schools, and received local dollars above state revenue? The district has needs at our neighborhood schools for maintenance/capital projects that the current voter-approved override dollars could help without asking taxpayers for more money. As STEM expands to include more grade levels, will out-of-district students have a priority over in-district, taking away more local dollars to fund them?

kids with the most intensive needs deserve to have some kind of choice and option other than us purchasing services in the metro area and us putting them on a bus.”

According to the district, two pathways exist for creating the new school. One is renovating an existing school site in the district.

The other would be identifying a space that would accommodate its needs and purchasing that building.

The district doesn’t have enough money to build from scratch and has yet to identify a potential location to purchase, Germain said. Waiting for funding to pass in the form of a bond may be one option to pay for the school, he said.

However, that option, and any land acquisition by the district would need to be approved by the school board, which previously has shown no interest in proposing a capital needs bond. It recently allowed about 10 percent of the bonds used by the district to expire, saying it preferred to pay for capital needs from the general fund as they arise. These bonds represented roughly $8 million of the $72 million in bonds used by the district.

Board Vice President Judith Reynolds said she supports the call for the new school and believes it would fill a need for students and parents.

“For me, this is about being able to provide for our students in a manner that best suits their needs in an environment that their parents have decided that allows them the best opportunity to succeed,” Reynolds said.

The goal would be the same as at Plum Creek, to be able to return students to their home school with the life skills and knowledge that allow them to be successful, she said.

Students at Plum Creek typically return to their home schools in three semesters, the district said.

Board member David Ray said he has some concerns about the proposed project, including whether or not the Plum Creek model will work for younger students, confusion about the project among district parents, and the philosophy behind separating students into segregated populations.

“Philosophically, I struggle with the concept that like learners should always be grouped together,” said Ray, a former DCSD principal. “If we are not careful, we can inadvertently communicate the archaic message that ‘if you are different you don’t belong in your natural environment of peers.’ I worry about the precedence that this kind of school model sets if it becomes driven by cost-savings instead of need.”

But Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen said by intervening early with young students in need of help, the district can help give them the skills they need to return to their classrooms sooner and equipped for success.

“This is about trying to meet the unique needs of a population of students, some of which are very discrepant from their peers, sometimes only temporarily,” Fagen said in a news release. “We are trying to meet the needs of young children, providing them with early intervention and wrap-around services that their families want. It is this next level of service that will meet their needs, so they can successfully return, maybe even fulltime to the classroom.”

Some of the balls we can focus on catching could be opportunities to say things like, “I love you,” “Thank you,” “I am sorry,” “I am proud of you” or “I appreciate you.” I mean really, how many times have we walked away from time spent with a close friend or loved one and thought, “Wow, I really could have said something more or done something differently, I really dropped the ball on that one.”

How many business opportunities, sales, lessons learned, listening moments and deeper relationships have we missed because we dropped a pass that could have/should have been easily caught? I

Maybe you have heard the line, “I am ready for my close-up.”

It comes from “Sunset Boulevard.”

You have to know the answer by now, but if not, the piano players were Ferrante and Teicher.

It’s hard for me to believe that the theme song was played on Top 40 radio.

That would never happen now.

The song was “Theme from The Apartment.”

There you have it.

“The Apartment” starred Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine.

MacLaine is having an affair with Fred MacMurray. The two of them use Lemmon’s apartment for their fun and games while Lemmon is somewhere else.

But knowing that MacMurray is never going to leave his wife, MacLaine takes a bunch of pills after MacMurray has left her behind in the apartment one night.

Lemmon returns, finds MacLaine unconscious, saves her life and falls in love with her.

‘I do not think that organized religion is necessary, or even a good idea for that matter.’

Liam Michael, University of Denver student

Millennials increasingly look to sources other than churches, books for spiritual guidance

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com

L

iam Michael, 19, grew up attending a Unitarian Universalist church with his family in Portage, Michigan. It was nothing like the dogmatic religions of Catholicism, Judaism or Islam that have more black-and-white interpretations of the world. There was room for finding one’s own path.

Yet, he remained unsettled.

“I still felt uneasy at the idea that there were these rules that had to be followed to the ‘t’ and a little insulted at the idea that in order to be some sort of moral person, I had to label myself as a member of some sort of club, essentially,” said Michael, now a student at the University of Denver.

Although a belief in a deity was never imposed on him in the Unitarian Universalist church, which welcomes congregants from diverse religions and holds the belief that God is love, most of the members believed in God, he said. And, as an atheist since the age of 5, he felt he didn’t really fit.

“I do not think that organized religion is necessary, or even a good idea for that matter,” Michael said. “Once a religion has the sort of power over its followers where it can impose a specific interpretation of its holy book, text, dogma, it becomes very easy to divide humanity along religious lines and to create conflict that can oftentimes result in oppression or violence.”

Michael is part of a growing number of young people who, for varying reasons, choose to not take part in organized religion.

Today, 35 percent of adult Millennials — Americans born between 1981 and 1996 — are religiously unaffiliated, according to a 2014 study by the Pew Research Center. And nearly one in five American adults, or 18 percent, who were raised in a religious faith now identify with no religion, according to Pew. When the same study was conducted in 2007, only 25 percent of Millennials identified as religiously unaffiliated.

“Almost everyone in religious studies or religious education is highly aware of the ‘nones’ — the people who answer none to the religious affiliation question on surveys,” said Dr. Sandra Lee Dixon, a religious studies professor at the University of Denver.

Faith in the information age Reasons behind the “nones” include the rise of the Internet and access to information; intolerance and violence committed in the name of religion; and young people not wanting to separate themselves by or be identified by a

particular faith.

But research shows one of the most significant influences is the birth of the Internet, one of the most dramatic and influential cultural and social forces of this lifetime: Human beings can access virtually the entire record of human knowledge and experience at any time.

Eighty-seven percent of American adults use the Internet, according to a 2014 Pew study. For people ages 18-29, the number jumps to 97 percent.

“Insofar as religion is concerned, these advances seem to have been detrimental,” said John Robert Kinsey, a lecturer in religious studies at the University of Colorado. “Disheartening stories such as Kim Davis’ religious justifications for her Carmichael anti-homosexual bigotry, or Hobby Lobby’s discrimination against women’s reproductive rights and homosexuals, or acts of Christian, Islamic or Jewish terrorism are all too easy to find. This being the case, it should come as no surprise that the younger population would actively distance itself from these traditional narratives.”

Michael agrees.

“I think that the reason many young people today are beginning to move away from religion and, in some cases, move towards a more atheistic world view is, quite frankly, the bad reputation of most religions,” he said.

Lucas Carmichael, a lecturer in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Colorado, contends the move away from organized religion is not a new phenomenon in America.

“Organized religion has always had a rocky relationship with Americans’ widespread distrust of institutional authority and celebration of the individual. Periodic swings towards and away from organized religion have been the norm,” Carmichael said. “The Cold War swing towards religion in the face of ‘godless communism’ — which resulted in ‘under God’ being added to the Pledge of Allegiance and ‘In God We Trust’ being added to our money — strengthened the position of organized religion as central to American religious identities. This position of strength has certainly been eroded by the increased religious diversity, as well as various Faith continues on Page 13

scandals and attempts to exert institution authority that seem out of step with larger cultural values in America.”

Kids have a say Families also place much less importance on religious education, according to Karen Silverman, executive director of jHUB, an organization that connects Jewish teens in Colorado.

In some instances, children make the decision whether to participate in organized religion because their parents are disinterested or place greater importance on competing activities, she said.

“In the past, it would have been unheard of for the children to have such influence over a family’s religious observance,” Silverman said. jHUB tries to connect teens to Jewish programs that fulfill that need for connection and guidance without pushing religious observance.

Many teens, Silverman said, have a concept of spirituality and do seek guidance on life’s big questions.

“Last year, I was able to observe focus groups with Jewish teens in Denver. What we heard from some of them was that they weren’t interested in organized religion,” she said.

“But when the researchers delved deeper into the question, many of the teens still saw themselves as spiritual. They are reluctant to identify in a way that excludes others. If I’m one religion, that means the other religions are wrong, so I can’t do that.”

That is why even Lynnsome with deep roots in religion are beVecqueray coming more skeptical.

Katie Lynn-Vecqueray, a recent University of Denver graduate, is 23 years old and grew up in a family of Lutheran pastors. Organized religion has always been a central part of her life.

“Churches were my second

home, and I was surrounded by the care, faith, and love of amazing congregations,” Lynn-Vecqueray said.

“As I got older, however, and following some personal experiences and heartache of my own, I began to question the foundation of my own faith and the benefits of believing in stories and testaments I couldn’t hope to ever prove or understand.”

Relevance of religion — or the lack of it — also is key in young people’s choices.

Keith Baker is director of the group Young Life for Western Douglas County. He works with teens and young people in Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Castle Rock and surrounding communities.

In his experience, Baker said, many young people view religion as something nice for others, but irrelevant to daily life.

“Many young people are now two to three generations removed from the last people in their family who held religion at high regard,” Baker said. “I also believe that our society, media and entertainment outlets paints those within religious institutions as narrow-minded and ignorant. With so much access to a constant stream of this message, it’s easy to understand their lack of desire for involvement in religion.”

Spiritual, not religious But although an increasing number of young people may choose not to participate in organized religion, many still view themselves as spiritual.

According to Rev. Jann Halloran, of Prairie Unitarian Universalist Church in Parker, “these are people looking for a spiritual home that doesn’t tell them they have to believe a certain way.”

Lynn-Vecqueray said the term spirituality often replaces faith or religion, encompassing ambiguity and the opportunity to continually refine one’s beliefs.

“Fluidity precludes orthodoxy, and I have witnessed my own peers struggling to retain a strong faith when faced with the contemporary realities of science and innovation,” she said. “Youth of today increasingly pick and choose elements of various religions, combining them within an individualized faith perspective.”

Dr. Ben Nourse, a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of DenNourse ver, focuses his work on eastern religions, particularly Buddhism.

In the debate of organized religion versus personal spirituality, Nourse said his experience with Buddhism in Denver would suggest generational factors are at play.

“I have visited a lot of Buddhist temples and groups in Denver and almost always the people attending regular meetings, worship, teachings, study groups or meditation sessions tend to skew towards people in middle age or older,” Nourse said. “Millennials do not seem to be regular members or attendees.

However, the classes I teach on Buddhism at the University of Denver are very popular.”

And although he is not religious, Liam Michael does put his faith in something.

“I obviously don’t speak for all of the atheists or all of the ‘nones,’ but I can tell you that I do not place my trust in a deity because, to put it blankly, I do not believe one exists,” Michael said. “Since I do not practice any religion, I find myself trusting in the fact that we as people all share one thing, and that is the human ability to empathize with one another. And while that may seem like an almost foolish thing to trust in, I truly believe that the human ability to relate to one another holds far more power over our moral decisions than any ancient desert script.”

Castle View joins Mountain Vista on ice Sabercats are the new team in prep ice hockey competition

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com For years, Mountain Vista was the only school in Douglas County with an ice hockey team, and it drew players from all Douglas County schools. Now, Mountain Vista continues to feature players from schools in the Highlands Ranch area while Castle View has players from its namesake school as well as Douglas County, Ponderosa, Chaparral and Legend high schools.

“The school was notified in March that Castle View has been granted permission to enter a team in high school ice hockey competition,” Sabercats coach Al Quintana said.

“I was hired in May to put together a team, and it has been a long haul. The first order of business was to find hockey players since we’re a new team in Douglas County.”

“I sent out emails to players in the schools we would draw from, setting a tryout schedule,” the coach said. “I know there are a lot of playing options for high school hockey players, so I figured some would rather go with established teams than join a first-year high school team. Still, I had a fair turnout and we now have 22 players on our roster.”

Quintana said when the team roster was set, he only had one player who had played for Mountain Vista last season. The coach said senior John Conger is a Castle View student and elected to close his prep ice hockey career playing for the new team at his home school.

The team, like most in the league, is parent funded, meaning just about all costs are covered by donations from the parents of the players. The budget has to include funds to cover expenses including ice time rental, fees for officials, team equipment and transportation.

Once the budget was established, Quintana said the next step was to place orders for team equipment that included every-

The veteran Golden Eagles team controlled play against the first-year Sabercats and won the game. thing from practice jerseys to enough pucks for the season.

“The school did choose to support us by purchasing the team home and away jerseys,” he said. “That was a big help since jerseys area about $100 each and, since we expected to have a junior varsity team, we ordered 80 sets of jerseys.”

Finding ice time presented a big challenge because there was no time available in the Denver metro area, the coach said.

“I tried the area rinks without success, and then I called Colorado Sports Center in

Monument,” Quintana said. “They graciously gave us all the practice and game ice time we needed. But the location also presented an issue because there were parents and some players who didn’t want to go over Monument Hill.”

He said the cost of ice time is $275 an hour, which is less than the average of about $350-per-hour ice rental time elsewhere in the metro area.

Early season tournaments prepare teams Experience valuable when postseason rolls around

By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Boys high school basketball teams are off for the holiday break, and state tournament playoff games are nine weeks away.

However, south metro teams have been priming themselves for league and possible postseason action by playing in local and out-of-state tournaments.

There are advantages to playing in tournaments such as the Tarkanian Classic in Las Vegas, the SAISD tourney in San Antonio and local tournaments such as the ones at Smoky Hill, ThunderRidge, Rock Canyon, Green Mountain, Ponderosa, Prairie View, Mullen and Ralston Valley to name just a few.

Cherry Creek, Legend and Highlands Ranch competed in the Cherry Creek Holiday Classic between Dec. 21-23.

“We’ve seen good teams, we’ve seen teams that play different styles,” said Legend coach Kevin Boley. “Like against Pine Creek, they shot a ton of threes. We got pressed against Thomas Jefferson and saw an athletic team.

“When we were in the

Legend senior Riley Matticks (5) drives for a layup during the Titans’ game Dec. 23 against Abraham Lincoln in the Cherry Creek Holiday Classic tournament. Lincoln’s Noe Davilla tries to defend.

Photo by Jim Benton Smoky Hill tournament, there were different styles of play. It prepares you for when get into the season, whatever you see you are prepared for it.”

One of the differences between tournament play — with back-to-back games — and regular season league contests is the time between games.

“One of our strengths is game planning, watching film and making adjustments,” said Boley. “You miss out on that in tournaments, but sometimes it is easier for the kids to just turn

around, play and not have to overthink the game. What you are looking for is good competition heading into the break.”

Highlands Ranch coach Mike Gibbs claims playing and watching other teams in tournaments is valuable.

“You get to play teams you probably wouldn’t normally see, and most of the tournaments are pretty competitive,” he said. “You get playing back-to-back without much preparation, and you’re playing teams with different styles

and philosophies.

“It gives a chance for kids to go out and, more than playing, it’s a chance to watch other teams that you wouldn’t normally get to see. It’s a great deal for us.”

Cherry Creek coach Mike Brookhart explained that when the Colorado High School Activities Association expanded, it provided the opportunity for teams to participate in tournaments.

“When the state added more games for us to play from 19 to 23, me and a couple other coaches wanted to put together tournaments,” he said. “With 19 games it was difficult to get tournaments in because of your league games. Cherry Creek put this tournament together 12 years ago, and it’s been really good. We switch teams around and the dates are according to our CHSAA rules. It’s been competitive. We’ve had teams from Mississippi, Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado.

“It gives teams a chance to play three days in a row, gives coaches a chance to see different kids and play at different times. It kind of takes you out of your regular schedule. We play in the afternoon instead of 7 at night. You don’t have that time to prepare so you worry about what you do rather than what they do. Sometimes when the league starts, you worry too much about what the other team does and not pay attention to what you do.”

Wishes for the new year

With 2016 soon to arrive, it seems time to offer just a few of many wishes for Colorado high school athletics heading into the New Year.

My first Jim Benton wish is for the Colorado OVERTIME High School Activities Association Legislative Committee to reconsider the proposed Class 5A waterfall football league alignments before approving the change during its January meeting. The new leagues would take away some neighborhood rivalry games, while forcing many teams to log excessive miles for road contests.

Another hope would be for Valor Christian to change its football jerseys so people in the stands and press box can read the numbers without having to use binoculars.

And it sure would be nice if golf, swimming and wrestling coaches could file scores and results from tournaments and meets so those results could be included in weekly roundups.

My Colorado Community Media cohort Tom Munds would like to see the state gymnastics meet set up so it is easier to follow and the public address system improved so everyone knows who is competing and who is on deck for each event.

Hockey teams, Munds says, also need to have numbers on their shoulders or helmets so it would be easier to identify players for photos.

It is also tough to ID swimmers unless names are scribbled in ink on the competitors’ legs.

Valor grad is Player of the Year Valor Christian graduate Christian McCaffrey, a sophomore at Stanford, reversed the finishing order with Alabama running back Derrick Henry between the Heisman Trophy presentation and the naming of the AP Player of the Year.

McCaffrey was the runner-up to Henry in the Heisman Trophy voting, but he was named the Associated Press college football player of the year on Dec. 22 to become the first non-Heisman Trophy winner to be honored by AP in six years.

After setting an NCAA record 3,496 all-purpose yards, McCaffrey received 29 of the 60 votes from an AP media panel. Henry garnered 16 votes to finish second and Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson, the third Heisman finalist, collected 11 votes.

Far-West All-Stars Arapahoe keeper James Conley and Heritage defender Dylan Keeney, both seniors, were named to the 18-player National Soccer Coaches Association of America Fall Boys High School All-Far-West team.

Conley and Keeney were among four Colorado players picked on the all-star team.
