Sky Ridge finds CEO from within Longtime administrator Susan Hicks replaces Maureen Tarrant as hospital’s leader By Jane Reuter

jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com Almost ensuring a seamless transition, longtime Sky Ridge Medical Center chief operating officer Susan Hicks was named

the hospital’s new president and chief executive officer Aug. 18. Hicks steps in for former CEO Maureen Tarrant, who recently accepted a position as CEO of Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center and Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children at Presbyterian/St. Luke’s. “I’m very, very honored to take on this role at Sky Ridge,” said Hicks, who’s acted as COO since the hospital’s 2003 opening. “I’ve been here since the beginning. To be able to take this role and go to the next level is very exciting.”

Hicks

A South Dakota native and Parker resident, Hicks has lived and worked in the Denver area since 1977 in a variety of capacities. She worked at Denver’s Rose Medical Center for 20 years, serving as chief nursing officer and director of surgical services,

among others. She and Tarrant worked together there. Both came to help open Sky Ridge in 2003.

“Susan has been an integral member of the executive team at Sky Ridge since the hospital opened in 2003,” said Sylvia Young, CEO of Sky Ridge owner HealthONE. “She has been instrumental in developing comprehensive programs in neurosurgery, orthopedics, cardiology, stroke and surgery, to name a few. The Sky Ridge team and its medical staff have given her leadership, clinical depth and business CEO continues on Page 28

Reform impact debated Pace of change, new demands cited as factors in teacher turnover By Jane Reuter

ALL HAIL ART & ALE The 11th annual Art & Ale Brew Festival sold out this year, drawing about 2,000 attendants Aug. 15 at The Wildlife Experience. The gathering featured tastings of both beverages and food from about 50 breweries, wineries and spirit vendors, as well as 22 restaurant and food vendors. Booths were scattered along the museum’s front lawn and more tables were set up inside the building. In addition to the neverending flow of spirits, highlights of the evening included a live ice sculpting demonstration, chocolate fountains and dancing to the music of the 1980s Denver cover band “Flock of Beagles.”

Education reform may be accelerating the pace of teacher turnover not just in Douglas County but throughout Colorado, some experts say. And while some say changes can be made to soften the impact and slow turnover, others maintain it is part of the process involved in reshaping American education. Colorado and most other states adopted the Common Core initiative — a national effort to improve education standards that specify the skills and knowledge students must learn at each level. The state integrated the Common Core with its Colorado Academic Standards, and began implementing the changes with the 201314 academic year. The Douglas County School District designed and introduced its own version of the standards, called the Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum, in 2012. Teacher turnover is up for both entities, though the rate at which they are leaving rose more sharply in DCSD than at the state level. Colorado teacher turnover for 2013-14 was 16.65 percent, and in DCSD it was 17.28 percent. From 2012 to 2013, the pace at which teachers left their posts statewide rose 13 percent. In DCSD, it increased by 30 percent. Those numbers, compiled by the Colorado Department of Education, do not include employees who left after Dec. 1, 2013, in-district transfers or in-district promotions. The changes and added job duties the new standards entail, combined with the impact of a now-fading recession that contributed to pay freezes for many teachers, are feeding those increases, one state education official believes. Under the reforms, teachers are faced with changing curriculum, new planning methods, increased testing and self-evaluations. “It’s already a complex job,” said Bruce Caughey, executive director of the Colorado Association of School Executives. “If you lay in a combination of no raises and significantly changing demands, I think it’s taking a toll. “I do think educators are typically optimistic people who want to do the work Reform continues on Page 10

Lone Tree gets upscale eatery Seasons 52 emphasizes seasonal fare, wine By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com In a city with more than 100 dining options, Seasons 52 aims to go straight to the top. “We just want to be the best restaurant in Lone Tree,” operations director Michael Jong said. “We want our service to set us apart. It’s a privilege to take care of someone’s request for food; there’s nothing else we hold more important than that.” The upscale Park Meadows restaurant, built new on the lot formerly occupied by Champp’s restaurant, opens Aug. 21. It’s the 40-restaurant chain’s first Colorado location, and its south metro site was a carefully analyzed, logical decision. “Lone Tree provides a really fantastic retail, residential and commercial demographic for us,” Jong said. Specializing in fresh grilled food and wine, Seasons 52 features a core menu that changes seasonally and several items that change weekly. No menu item exceeds 475 calories. Most of the selections, with entrees including cedar-plank salmon, duck

banh mi, rack of lamb and flat-iron steak, are at least partially cooked on the restaurant’s large oak-fired grill. It’s also big on atmosphere, which starts at the front door with a wall-sized candlelit water feature. It’s the first of what Jong describes as subconscious elements designed to soothe and relax the restaurant’s visitors. In a continuation of that effort, lighting provided mainly by sconces and pendants is indirect and warm, lending a honey-colored glow to the wood bar. Since the restaurant’s founding in Orlando, Fla., in 2003, its managers have worked to perfect the art of illumination. “Over the last 11 years, we’ve put a lot of thought into lighting,” Jong said. The main dining area includes skylights to nurture two real trees and provide sunlight. Color accents the earth-toned finishes in the artwork, chairs, booth cushions and other decorative accents. Equal thought went into the restaurant’s bar selections, which include Colorado craft beers and spirits. “When you think Colorado, you think craft beer,” Jong said. “We thought, `Let’s find out about Colorado craft spirits.’ We got a list as long as my arm.” The 100 wines were handpicked by the chain’s master sommelier, George Miliotes, who is among about 220 master somme-

Two certified sommeliers are part of the regular Lone Tree staff. Servers are trained to suggest wines that complement entrees. “We have knowledgeable, approachable servers that inspire confidence,” Jong said. In addition to its bar and main dining room, the restaurant offers two private dining rooms that seat 40 guests each, as well as a chef’s table with seating for 12. The three areas are available for reserva-

tions. Its chateau room provides wine storage but also will be used for small gatherings, tastings and classes. Seasons 52 gets high praise from reviewers, with its food scored 27 out of 30 points from Zagat. The average meal cost is about $40, according to Zagat. The Seasons 52 chain is part of Darden Restaurants, which includes Capital Grille, Olive Garden and Yard House.

Scammer impersonating deputy

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has received multiple reports of a fraudulent scheme where someone is representing themselves to be a DCSO Deputy.

This is not the first time this has happened in recent months. Earlier this year the sheriff’s office became aware of a similar scam, in which the suspect calls people and tells them that they have a warrant for their arrest and that they need to wire money immediately to prevent them from being arrested. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said citizens should know that no law enforcement agency contacts citizens by phone, email or regular mail and tells them to pay fees or fines by wiring money, using pre-paid money cards, using a money telegram or using similar methods.

A gift to the community Park opens to honor life of slain Arapahoe High student Claire Davis By Deborah Grigsby Smith

Special to Colorado Community Media Less than five month ago, Clarity Commons was just an idea, but on Aug. 16, what would have been Claire Davis’ 18th birthday, more than 1,000 of her friends and family gathered on the campus of Arapahoe High School to honor her life with a gift. The serene park-like space is designed to reach out to those who may be hurting inside, much like Davis reached out to classmate Karl Pierson, the student gunman who shot her Dec. 13, 2013. The spacious park, located on the campus of Arapahoe High School where Davis was a senior, features beautiful mature trees, berms that reduce noise, a paved walkway, benches, and a large granite pillar engraved with her image and inspirational thoughts. Arapahoe High School Principal Natalie Pramenko said the location will become a special place where students and staff can “reflect, slow down and appreciate beauty.” “Claire was not the only one we lost that day,” said Desiree Davis, Claire’s mother who spoke briefly during the dedication. “We lost Karl, too. If we are to stop violent crime in our schools, we must continually place our attention on our kids. We all need to be aware of others crying out for help.” Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper also spoke.

Claire Davis “Claire loved a good bench,” he said. Clarity Commons has 10 benches, five pairs, facing each other, he noted. “Anyone can sit on these benches and enjoy a moment.” Chris Davis, who graduated from Arapahoe in May, was one of several volunteers who helped raise more than $110,000 for the project and said support from the community has been overwhelming. The total from in-kind donations exceeded $300,000. “We have about 300 pavers in the Clarity Commons walkway now, but that’s just the first wave,” said Davis, who is not related to Claire. “We have, probably 800 more that will eventually go in at a later date.” Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon and her

Man gets 76 years for trying to kill woman Christopher Fields, 29, stalked and shot former fiancee Staff report An Arapahoe County judge sentenced a man to 76 years in prison for trying to kill his ex-fiancee on the northbound I-25 off-ramp to County Line Road. Christopher Lyle Fields, 29, of Denver, was sentenced for the January 2013 shooting in which Fields stood in the road and fired a shot through the windshield of the victim’s car while she was driving. The incident occurred near an office park during morning rush hour. After a four-day trial in June, an Arapahoe County jury found Fields guilty of attempted first-degree murder after deliberation, retaliation against a witness or victim, violation of bail bond conditions, stalking resulting in emotional distress, and harassment. The victim and defendant’s engagement ended almost two years before the shooting. Soon after the breakup, the defendant harassed and humiliated the victim through numerous acts that included posting vulnerable photos of the victim at her worksite and at a gentleman’s club, keying her car and flattening her tires, leaving her a voicemail message from a number belonging to a medical clinic to tell her that she was dying, and sending her letters indicating several failures in the defendant’s life were her fault. As a result of his actions, he was charged in 2012 with stalking in Douglas County and forced to wear a GPS ankle bracelet. On the day of the incident, prosecutors said Fields waited for his ex-fiancee in a wooded area near a road he knew she would take to go to work. When she drove by near northbound I-25 and County Line Road, he stopped the victim’s car by walking directly in front of it. He aimed and fired one round from a semiautomatic 9mm handgun into her windshield. The bullet fragmented and the victim sustained wounds near her left collarbone, a few inches from her main arteries. She survived despite her life-threatening injury. Immediately after the shooting, Fields cut off the GPS monitor and sped off on a motorcycle with $36,500 in cash, a map with directions to Baja, Mexico, and an English-to-Spanish dictionary. He was eventually apprehended in New Mexico after a cellphone ping alerted authorities to his location. At the Aug. 14 sentencing, the victim and numerous family members spoke. In addition, Fields spoke for more than 15 minutes in his own defense, but did not apologize to the victim, the district attorney’s office said. “The only thing more unsettling than the facts of this horrible case was the long-winded, self-centered, remorseless statement of the would-be killer at his own sentencing,” 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler said in a news release.

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper embraces Desiree Davis Sat. Aug. 16 at the dedication of Clarity Commons, a peaceful park-like memorial honoring her daughter Claire, who lost her life eight days after being shot by classmate Karl Pierson on Dec. 13, 2013. Photo by Deborah Grigsby Smith staff were lauded for expediting city paperwork and waiving all fees for the project. “It was the least the City of Centennial could do,” said an emotional Noon. “This is truly something that clearly demonstrates how something so wonderful can come out of something so sad.” Located in the four corners of the walkway are four special tones with impressions from Granite, Claire’s beloved horse. Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter

Steven Forbert belted out a heartfelt piece for the occasion, appropriately, “…I blinked once and she was gone…” Hickenlooper pointed out that although “today would have been Claire’s 18th birthday, it is she — along with Michael and Desiree and their son Alexander — who are giving us a gift.” For more information about the project, or to create a personalized message, please visit www.claritycommons.org.

Out of Darkness Walk returning Suicide-prevention effort is among largest in nation By Jane Reuter jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com Just five years after it started, the Highlands Ranch-based South Metro Out of the Darkness Walk is among the largest and most successful in the nation. The fifth annual event aimed at suicide prevention and awareness will hold its opening ceremony at 10 a.m. Sept. 6 at Highlands Ranch High School. Proceeds from the free, donation-driven walk benefit the Colorado Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). The event culminates with a 2.9-mile walk, but also includes music, food vendors, a silent auction, memory trees, a resource fair, opening ceremony and a butterfly release. The 2013 event drew about 1,600 participants who helped raise $140,000. It was the ninth largest among 300 walks nationwide. This year’s fundraising goal is $150,000. Sheri Cole, who organized the initial South Metro walk after losing her son to suicide in 2009, is the AFSP’s Rocky Mountain area director. The region includes Colorado, Wyoming and Montana. “Unfortunately, all three states are in the top 10 when it comes to suicide in the nation,” she said. “We have tremendous upside opportunity to always keep making a difference.” Research indicates 90 percent of those who die by suicide suffer from a mental illness, most often depression. It’s a condition that’s treatable, Cole said. “It’s not just someone that has a bad day and made a choice, so they’re a horri-

ble person,” she said. “If you have juvenile diabetes, there’s something underlying the surface that’s going on inside your body that caused that. Suicide is a very complex disease. More needs to be done. “If we can help eradicate the stigma and look at this like we do other illnesses, and continue to put the same time, energy and effort as we do toward other diseases, we’ll continue to make an impact.” This year’s South Metro Walk chair, Laurie Freeman, lost both her teenage son and her husband to suicide. “This is my therapy,” she said of her role as chair. “This is my way to heal and to make sure that other people don’t end up walking in the same shoes I’ve been walking in. “If we can get the word out there that it’s a disease of the brain, talk about and get rid of the stigma that goes with the word suicide, do more research and open communication, we could eradicate suicide someday.” Both women believe the pain they’ve experienced can help others dealing with similar losses or help avoid such losses altogether. “We’ve learned so much now we didn’t know before we lost loved ones,” Cole said. “We’d like our hindsight to become your foresight, so you don’t walk in these shoes.” The event isn’t just for those impacted by suicide. “There are also others that are struggling,” Cole said. “This is a place for them to be able to come and not be alone.” Registration for the Sept. 6 walk begins at 9 a.m. with the opening ceremony at 10 a.m. In addition to the on-stage butterfly release that’s become part of the pre-walk events, participants this year can purchase their own butterflies for $10. The walk is timed to coincide with National Suicide Prevention Week, which runs from Sept. 8-14.

Jillian Freeman, daughter of this year’s event chair Laurie Freeman, spends some time caring for the Memory Tree at a previous Out of Darkness Walk in Highlands Ranch. The tree serves as a place where walkers can honor loved ones who died of suicide. Jillian Freeman lost both her brother and father to suicide within 10 months of one another. This year’s Out of Darkness Walk is Sept. 6 in Highlands Ranch. File photo

Strength, weakness, and the old switcheroo Maybe you have heard about this philosophy before, and then again maybe you have not. So it may come as a shock to your system or thought process. The philosophy is this: Sometimes an overdeveloped strength can actually become our biggest weakness or Achilles’ heel. An example might be the professional salesperson who has an unbelievable knack for building relationships. Our master salesperson could be so strong on the relationship side that they become too emotionally attached to their customers and are never able to talk about price increases or apply the necessary professional pressure when faced with a problem or competitive situation. They may just even revert to discounting price as a way to secure future business and falsely believe they are preserving their friendship with the client. We can clearly see this same impact when we walk into any health club. Have you ever noticed the person in the gym with incredible strength and muscle development in their upper body, but their legs and cardiovascular system receive minimal or no attention at all? They look top-heavy and seem like their upper body is disproportionally out of alignment with their lower body. They get so focused on biceps, triceps, chest, back and shoulders that their weakness is obvious in lack of leg strength and physical appearance. And their endurance suffers as well. It is good to have areas of focus and to capitalize on the things we are very good at. However, it is also easy to get so caught in the trap of overdevelopment in any one area

that we lose touch with other options or new ways of thinking. Our closed-mindedness prevents us from being open to a new paradigm or ideas from others, as we believe we have all the answers or we are certain in our belief that our way is absolutely the right way, maybe even the only way. On the other hand, when we can be honest about areas where we lack expertise, knowledge or physical capability, we have an opportunity to develop any area of weakness into a strength. If our weakness is that we are not very good at listening, we can start to practice listening skills such as taking notes, focusing the conversation on asking questions rather than always jumping in with our own answers. If we excel at selling once we are in front of a client but struggle with prospecting and qualifying, we have to align ourselves with a coach or mentor who has perfected the art of finding new clients and making sure that the prospects are qualified to buy. We can learn from their strategies and techniques to increase our personal income. Perhaps we love to cook but our weakness

Creation, fascination, and a little hesitation You have until Nov. 2 to see the Daniel Sprick exhibition at the Denver Art Museum. It’s impossible not to be in unending awe of it. Sprick lives and paints in Denver. Is he Denver’s best painter? Remember that “Life” magazine article about Jackson Pollock? “Is he the greatest living painter in the United States?” I wonder if that was the beginning of the end for Pollock. Critics lost interest in him, he relapsed, and later drove into a tree on Springs-Fireplace Road, killing himself and the poor girl who was in the back seat. But not his mistress. She had asked, “Who is the second best painter in the United States?” Told it was Willem de Kooning, she became de Kooning’s mistress. Sprick and I have little in common. His paintings are exquisite, magical definitions of existing information — and mine are

very otherwise. But I have respect, artist to artist, and a lot of it. There is a book, “Daniel Sprick’s Fictions.” Recommended. If you prefer installations, three-dimensional contemporary pageants, like a 14foot tiger shark in a tank of formaldehyde (see: Damien Hurst), then Sprick will seem out of fashion. Thankfully. He is a painter who paints on a flat surface, and makes things look like things. Just like Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) did. Marshall continues on Page 9

is a limited style of a lack of experimenting with new dishes and varying ingredients. What if we took the time to learn more, watch other chefs prepare and cook, and what if we were open to failing when we try? It is in times of failure when we grow the most and can turn our weaknesses into strengths. So whether it is in sales or selling, the gym, cooking, or other hobby or vocation, we can all recognize that we have strengths in certain areas and that we need to be cautious so that our powerful assets do not take away from what we are trying to accomplish and therefore become a weakness. And conversely, recognize that the areas where we are deficient can become a strength as long as we find the right coach and mentor, or apply the time to improve in some way, turning that weakness into another strength and asset in our armor as we pursue our goals and dreams. How about you? Do you have some overdeveloped strengths that are keeping you from achieving your overall goals? Do you have a weakness that you are looking forward to developing into a strength? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can capitalize on our personal assets and develop other areas into strengths, it really will be a better than good week.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Time for new direction

In the “Union numbers declining” article that ran Aug. 7, once again Douglas County School Board vice president Doug Benevento shows his caustic side — as he always does. How many more teachers need to leave before Doug understands that they don’t like him, his fellow board members or the administration, and that their choice to leave has nothing to do with unions? When a large auditorium is filled to the brim with new teachers for training, you have effectively thrown away the legacy and knowledge that experienced teachers can provide. At the same time we parents that know better will welcome and support all teachers, but who is going to provide that know-how that they need? When you have almost 50 percent of your administrators leave, you have lost not only the trust of the community, but to tie in another article from Aug. 7 (Ballot won’t feature schools), any possibility that we would provide you with more money to squander. If a CEO lost 50 percent of their top people in one year as the Douglas County School District has, that CEO would be fired for sure. I only hope this is also the case for this BOE and Administration. 2015 cannot come any faster. #firefagen James Martin Highlands Ranch

Fewer pensions remain for future retirees Dependable income for retirees is in jeopardy as more companies do away with defined benefit plans. This is a product of many changes in the current workforce, company mergers, and unknown liabilities for employers. In this ever-changing landscape of income in retirement, a short history lesson may help to put this into perspective. The Social Security Act was signed into law by FDR on Aug. 14, 1935. At that time, private company pension plans were gaining popularity. A pension plan fully funded by the employer and designed to pay out a specific fixed benefit for life is considered a defined benefit plan. American Express created the first such plan in 1869. By 1940, about 15 percent of the private working population was covered by a pension plan. Ironically, today, according to a May 6 article in the Wall Street Journal, about the same amount, roughly 17 percent are covered. It appears we have almost gone full cycle. The first defined contribution plan was made possible by the 1974 IRS Sec-

tion Code 401(k) and first enacted in 1981 by Johnson Companies. Since then, more companies have been moving away from the traditional employerfunded defined benefit plans to the employee-funded defined contribution plans. In Colorado, we have seen major corporations gradually evolve away from the fixed pension-income plans. Usually, as the first step, the company stops offering these plans to new hires. Next, workers who left the company but have not yet collected are often offered a settlement, or a lump sum buy-out. This helps get the liability off the books of the corporation for previous workers. Next, for the existing workers, the pensions are often frozen, meaning no new contributions. This can be phased

out in a variety of ways based on the average age of the workforce and the standard for that industry. There was an announcement in July of a pension change for our neighbors at Lockheed Martin. This will affect a significant local population of current employees who live in the area. The phase-out, according to a July 1 Wall Street Journal article, will consider a worker’s highest annual salary in the formula only up to 2016 and their years of service only up to 2020. Some previous workers who are not yet retired have already been offered a lump-sum option. This is where the company’s actuaries calculate how much money you would need today to pay yourself a fixed income over your lifetime if you invested the proceeds. This is based on formulas including life expectancy and an interest rate factor to derive the settlement offer. The evolution of retirement income is becoming more and more dependent on personal savings. At one time we were taught the three-legged stool — Social Security, employer pensions and personal savings — would support our

future income. Now we are down to a two-legged stool, which is certainly less stable. And each remaining leg is getting wobbly as well. The future of Social Security is not guaranteed, and personal savings are not enough to make up for the loss of pensions. Therefore, planning for the future is more crucial than ever. Whether you ever had a pension or 401(k), had questions about how much to save and where to invest, or have concerns about Social Security, now is the time to get started planning how you can have more control over your future.

‘Car town’ pattern is part of RTD challenge Denver is known for being a car town. And before cars, we were a horse town. Cities, towns and suburbs across the metro area are spread out, making it difficult to get from one place to another without hopping into your car (or on a horse). The Regional Transportation District’s service area covers 2,340 square miles and gives more than 2.8 million people the option of using public transportation. Our transit agency is unique in how large of an area it covers — most other public transportation systems around the country cover a much smaller area. The amount of ground RTD covers, along with commuters’ natural propensity to drive instead of taking public transportation, lends some interesting challenges to providing public transportation. One of the biggest challenges is figuring out the best way to provide bus service to the southeast metro area. Many commuters simply find it easier to hop on their horse (car) than in the stagecoach (the bus or train). Our wide-open communities in the southeast are primarily lower density, with single-family homes that are spread out over a large area. Lower density usually equals lower ridership, which means there is less incentive or cost effectiveness for a transit agency to offer high-frequency service throughout the day. Most bus service runs on main thoroughfares and highways, where most people are.

That’s the best compliment I can give him. Illusions please us and always have. Films now are almost nothing but illusions and special effects. I avoid them. I want to see people doing what people do, what people do and say to each other. Not what a bat does when it becomes a crime stopper. I watched a documentary on Cecil B. DeMille’s “The Ten Commandments,” which I have never seen. The making of the film (1923) was remarkable. The set construction was remarkable. It included four 35-foot-tall Pharaoh statues. After filming, DeMille had the set blown up and buried in the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes in northern Santa Barbara County. He didn’t want any other film crews to use it. Like an archaeological dig, fragments of the set were unearthed in the 1980s. If you haven’t seen the film, maybe you know about one of the scenes: the parting of the Red Sea. It was done with Jell-O. A “slab of Jell-O” was sliced and jiggled and filmed close up. That was “combined with live-action footage of Israelites walking in the distance, creating a near-perfect illusion.” The expression “trompe l’oeil” means “fool the eye.” That’s what Sprick does. I can come close. I have tried, but it’s not what I do. I don’t have that particular discipline.

Many of our riders travel only during morning and evening commuting hours. In the end, these commuting and population patterns mean it is difficult for a person to have bus service that is easily accessible from their home, or to find a bus if they need it during the day. The struggle RTD faces is providing adequate service throughout the district while being cost-effective. Should a bus be running, even if it’s empty? Public transportation is subsidized by taxpayers and RTD’s task is to provide the greatest amount of ridership in a given corridor to make that subsidy as small as possible. How is service determined? It’s determined by RTD’s Service Development Division, which creates routes and schedules, monitors service and evaluates service performance. The division employs standards to determine which services are the best uses of resources. These standards are reviewed three times a year. Routes are evaluated based

The painting on the cover of Sprick’s book stopped my heart. It looks like we both worked on it together. I did the hair. I once asked “trompe l’oeil” Denver sculptor John De Andrea if he ever thought about leaving something unresolved. His human figures, like “Linda” at the Denver Art Museum, are immaculately defined and lifelike. “Then it wouldn’t be my work,” he said. I understood, but I thought that might be a good thing. Unrelenting illusions don’t interest me as much unless there is a little ambiguity, with hesitations inside of the uncompromising truth. Sprick, Durer and da Vinci are exceptions. But Sprick’s book cover portrait knocks me out because there is ambiguity. A column like this comes without special effects. By the time I send it to my editor, it’s polished and the hesitations are all gone — but I do try to make some unexpected references. And I try to move around. From Sprick to Jell-O in this one. The idea for the column was not Sprick. It was DeMille. I cannot explain how one met the other one this morning. But I like it. See: “Daniel Sprick’s Fictions: Recent Works.” Please. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

on ridership and subsidy per passenger. If a route doesn’t meet RTD’s standards, it may be up for service reductions. On the flip side, if a route is doing really well, service may be added. The division also looks at areas that need transportation. Based on service standards, RTD isn’t providing full coverage to suburbs like you might find in the downtown area because ridership numbers — determined by the hour — on given routes are not high enough in comparison. So how do we resolve this problem? That is the age-old dilemma for all public transportation agencies serving suburban areas. Some agencies have partnered with cities to provide shuttle services feeding into larger bus lines. Others have encouraged suburban transit-oriented develop-

ment so residents have the option of living closer to available transit. I don’t think we have the answer yet, but I hope we can get there someday soon.

Reform Continued from Page 1

and have a heart for it. But their burden is increasing, there’s no question.” Education reform is happening rapidly in Douglas County, which describes itself as a leader in the “transformation of K-12 education.” The first Colorado school district to authorize a charter school, and the first K-12 district to introduce a market-based pay system and district-managed voucher program, it also introduced its teacher evaluation system a year ahead of most other Colorado school districts. Since the original, reformdedicated school board was

During those same years, the state’s teacher turnover also increased, but at a much slower rate, rising 27.2 percent.

The debate about turnover

The debate locally is whether the turnover is necessary, and what the numbers really mean. DCSD spokeswoman Paula Hans points out its current teacher turnover rate is about the same as the state’s. But teachers’ union president Courtney Smith said that isn’t a pace the district has seen in the past or one it should aspire to. “Douglas County used to be the destination district of the state, and that’s not the case anymore,” she said. “It’s unproven, unresearched reform they’re implementing from the top down that’s chasing teachers out of this district.” Slowing the pace of change and collaborating on it with teachers likely would also slow the pace of turnover, Smith said. Hans said attrition in the wake of great change is not unexpected. “We are creating a model for the future of American public education,” Hans wrote in an emailed statement. “As part of this process, we are raising expectations and turnover is to be expected.” National reform advocates, who are keeping a close eye on Douglas County, believe its reforms are a draw for many employees. “You’re attracting new people to Douglas County

who want to be in the classroom and work under those conditions,” said Kara Kerwin, president of the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Education Reform. “People are excited about the prospect of being able to receive raises and bonuses based on their effectiveness. So while there may be turnover, you have to think about the people who want to get into the system because they like the reforms. “That’s one of the goals of teacher reform — you really want people who want to be there. I think this is an example of that working.” DCSD leaders said it’s important to look past the numbers. Their focus is on retaining, as well as attracting, the best teachers, an effort they say is working. Under its new rating system, implemented in 2012, DCSD said 91 percent of the district’s teachers garnered good ratings — and most of them are reporting back for the 2014-15 school year. “We are pleased that we have retained an outstanding 93 percent of `highly effective’ and `effective’ DCSD teachers,” reads an emailed statement attributed to school board president Kevin Larsen.

Teachers speak

Not everyone agrees that reforms are working, however. Current and former DCSD teachers see problems with the district’s efforts. “In theory, pay for performance is a great idea, but (teachers) aren’t in sales,” Chaparral High School

teacher Steve Block said. “The reality is, teaching is an art. It’s hard to quantify who’s good and who’s bad. How do you measure the love of geography I’ve instilled in a student?” Block said new demands aren’t the issue. Rather, most teachers he knows believe DCSD’s primary focus is politics. “Teachers are great with dealing with change,” he said. “What I’m not great with is dealing with bad change — reform for the sake of reform. “The current direction of the district is forcing great teachers out. There are great teachers leaving the district. Parents need to know that.” Former longtime Chaparral High School teacher Ed Anderson left his 14year post in frustration for a teaching job in Adams 12 after the 2012-13 school year. “I loved teaching in Douglas County, and if things were the way they were when I first got there — and were really for the first 10 years — I would have retired in Douglas County,” he said. “But I was disappointed in our school district. The reality is, if your employees are happy, they produce a better product. The way it is now, it’s just not a good work environment.” Like Block, he pointed to pay-for-performance as an area of concern, as well as market-based pay and a lack of input from teachers in changes affecting their jobs. Caughey sees significant challenges in the current educational environment, but predicts better days are

coming. “Asking education leaders to perform without providing the necessary tools and resources they need to do the job creates a less-than-desirable work environment,” he said. “I think we’ll get to a new normal where things will stabilize and it’ll feel more like the new expectations are a little bit more embedded in the daily work. But right now, it’s a matter of very rapid change.” Kerwin also has heard repeated concerns said the pace of the reforms’ implementation. “A lot of people have said, we should reserve a grace period,” she said. “That’s an echo we are hearing across the country.” But, she said, the need for change in the United States is clear. “We are lagging behind. We need to raise the bar, and we know when we raise the bar on our students, they will meet it,” she said. “We just need the right kinds of people in our schools to do it.” DCSD, meanwhile, said it continues to provide not only a quality education for students, but is doing so with top-notch educators. “The most important thing is doing what is best for DCSD students — having quality teachers in every classroom,” Hans wrote in an emailed response. “Not only are we finding the best teachers and administrators, but we are keeping them right where they should be — in front of our students, who deserve to learn from the best.”

Legal fees in campaign complaint top $113,000 District appealed decision surrounding November board election By Jane Reuter

jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com The Douglas County School District’s legal fees to appeal its court-ruled violation of the Colorado Campaign Fair Practices Act now total about $113,470. A Denver judge ruled in December 2013 that the district violated the act and attempted to influence the outcome of the November 2013 school board election. The finding focused on a district-financed report praising reform efforts that was emailed to potential voters. The four reform candidates won the election. School board candidate Julie Keim, who lost her bid for a seat on the board, filed

the initial complaint in October 2013. The judge’s favorable ruling applied to only one of several claims in Keim’s complaint. DCSD was not fined for the violation because Keim did not request any penalty. Since December 2013, the district has paid legal firm Brownstein, Hyatt, Farber, Schreck $103,223 to challenge the finding. “It is an unfortunate expense forced upon the district by a politically motivated lawsuit and a ruling that simply had no basis in fact,” DCSD spokeswoman Paula Hans wrote in an emailed response. “The decision creates new law in Colorado that will severely hinder our and every other governmental entity’s ability to communicate effectively with citizens on important policy issues.” Keim said the matter should have ended with the judge’s ruling, and that DCSD is trying to make the issue “bigger than it is.” “They’re using more public money to fight something that shouldn’t even have risen to the level it did the first time around,” she said. “They got a slap on the

hands; that’s all they got. There was no reason for DCSD to appeal the judge’s decision. I cannot understand why the public is not more concerned about this use of funds meant to educate our children.” Keim’s case has so far tallied about $25,000. Donations covered about $14,000 of that amount, and Keim said she’s paid the balance out of personal funds. Two attorneys are donating their services to respond to the appeal on Keim’s behalf. The case has generated interest from other entities. Colorado Counties Inc. and the City of Arvada jointly filed an amicus brief urging a reversal of the judge’s decision, citing concerns about its potential “chilling” effect on communication with constituents. Colorado Counties is a nonprofit association that urges counties to speak as one voice on common issues. The brief argues, among other things, that the judge’s ruling has broad ramifications that could allow disgruntled candidates to interpret a variety of local government communication as favorable to

incumbent candidates. A staff attorney at Colorado Ethics Watch said it intends to file an amicus brief in support of Farrell’s ruling by the September deadline. The judge’s finding against the district applied to the paper titled “The Most Interesting School District in America?” written by the American Enterprise Institute’s Frederick Hess as part of a contracted deal with DCSD. In mid-September, the district emailed a link to the paper to 85,000 parents and community members - all potential voters in the Nov. 5, 2013 election. DCSD later revealed it had contracted with Hess to write the paper. Administrative Law Judge Hollyce Farrell found “the Hess report was commissioned and published as a means to support the reform agenda and any candidates who would further that agenda,” the ruling read. “The ALJ finds that the district spent public funds to influence the outcome of the board election when it commissioned and paid $15,000 for the Hess report.”

School transparency issue heads to ballot Collective bargaining negotiations could be forced into public light By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com An effort to require school boards to open up collective bargaining negotiations to the public has earned a place on the November ballot. The Secretary of State’s Office confirmed Aug. 13 that Initiative 124 earned enough valid petition signatures to qualify. If voters approve, the measure would require school boards to conduct meetings that involve collective bargaining or employment contract negotiations to take place in public. Similar efforts over the years have failed at the legislative level.

John Caldera of the Independence Institute, the Libertarian-leaning think tank that is behind the initiative, said the measure is about providing more transparency to the school budget process. “The only people who love closed-door meetings are the ones who are behind the closed doors,” Caldera said. Personnel costs make up the lion’s share of school district budgets and Caldera said that it’s only fair for taxpayers to know how their money is being spent at their neighborhood schools. “Imagine if the Joint Budget Committee (the legislative group responsible for putting together the annual state budget) was closeddoor and nobody could go in there to see how the largest part of Colorado’s budget is spent,” Caldera said. “People would be rightfully indignant.” But those who oppose the measure argue

that opening up the negotiation process to the public would have an adverse impact on negotiations. And what works best for one school district isn’t necessarily a good fit at another. “When we have some of these issues that seem to be repeated every time, we think of a one-size-fits-all solution,” said Bruce Caughey, executive director for the Colorado Association of School Executives. “It doesn’t fit for every community. It attacks the autonomy of local school boards.” Caughey said that opening up contract talks to the public would have “a chilling effect on conversations between teachers and school board members.” Caughey also said that, if passed, the measure would lead to sensitive matters being aired for the public to see, a confidentiality issue that could be “ripe” for litigation. “The last thing we need to do now is drain

money out of instruction because of increased cost in litigation,” he said. The initiative comes at a time when relations between unions and school boards are tense in some districts. That’s especially true in Douglas and Jefferson Counties, where reform candidates swept into power last year, putting the clamps on union power in those school districts. That’s one of the reasons why Caughey is concerned about opening up a delicate process that he believes already has enough built-in transparency. “This is just one more measure that has the potential of increased tension,” he said. But initiative backers aren’t persuaded by that argument. “The people who dislike this are the parties in the smoky back room,” Caldera said. “They will all hate it because they don’t want the accountability.”

Charter high school opens in Parker Colorado Early Colleges welcomes 344 students to Douglas County site By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Students released hundreds of blue and yellow balloons into the sky above the Parker campus of Colorado Early Colleges Aug. 18, marking the non-traditional high school’s opening. A total of 344 students are enrolled in the free Douglas County charter school, which helps its students earn college credits along with their high school diplomas. “This is the beginning of a change in the way students in Douglas County look at their high school education,” head of school John Etzell told the students, parents and staff members gathered in the parking lot of the Parkglenn Way building. “What an amazing change for you to get a jumpstart on your futures.” The students hail from 22 towns and 40 middle and high schools. “Over 140 of you are taking at least one college course this fall,” Etzell said. “The rest of you will be catching up very soon.” The building southeast of Lincoln Avenue and Parker Road is the third Colorado Early Colleges campus. The first opened in Colorado Springs in 2007, followed by a Fort Collins campus in 2012. Founder Keith King, a former state senator and Colorado Springs City Council President, was moved to start Colorado Early Colleges by what he saw as a lack of post-secondary education options. The schools are aimed at both students who are college-bound and those who might not otherwise have considered college, offering them the opportunity to earn associate degrees and concurrent enrollment credits

to use toward higher degrees. While traditional high schools offer concurrent enrollment, “it is our 100 percent focus,” Etzell said. King spoke at the Douglas County school’s opening ceremonies. He urged the students to take advantage of the educational system available to them. “I’m looking forward to you being the next generation of leaders,” he said. “We’re excited about what you can accomplish.” Michael and Cathy Jackson, new residents of Parker who relocated from Texas, said the school is ideal for their two children, who were homeschooled until now. “This is a wonderful opportunity for them to gain college credit,” Cathy Jackson said. “The teachers they chose, the challenging academic schedule, and the administration is so willing to help — that is rare.” Classes are offered both on and off campus. The Douglas County branch has a partnership with Arapahoe Community College for its professors to teach nine college-level classes. It also has agreements with ACC, Red Rocks, Front Range and Pikes Peak community colleges, Metro State and the University of Colorado-Denver that allow its students to attend those schools. Parents receive a $4,200 voucher, a portion of Colorado Early Colleges’ per-pupil state funding, to use toward tuition and books. Some students earn associates degrees and start work upon graduating from Colorado Early Colleges. Those wishing to attend a four-year college can earn enough credits to enter a four-year university as juniors. The Parker school received a waiver from the Douglas County School District’s exclusive chartering authority, and instead is authorized through the Colorado Charter School Institute.

Wacky ride to benefit local students Fourth annual event includes variety of cycling routes By Jane Reuter

jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com Denver broadcast personality Susie Wargin and her brother Ted have participated for years in the state’s numerous cycling events. “We did so many rides we thought, `Let’s put on a ride. How hard can it be?’ ” Susie Wargin said. “It’s a little more difficult than we thought.” On Sept. 7, the Wargins will produce their fourth annual ride, which benefits Douglas County students. In its first three years, the ride raised more than $24,000. As parents of four Douglas County stu-

dents, the cause is close to both Wargins’ hearts. “The idea hatched when we were on a training ride,” Wargin said. We thought we should do something to help the school. We kind of found a niche.” This year’s Wacky Bike Ride includes 6-, 45-, 62- and 100-mile routes, each of them leaving from Rocky Heights Middle School. The 6-mile route is designed especially for families, and stays in Highlands Ranch. Riders who choose the longer routes will travel south toward Castle Pines, with the longest route going as far south as Palmer Lake. The Wargin siblings are both Douglas County parents and residents. As serious cyclists, they’re familiar with every mile of the rides mapped out for the annual event. “The routes are basically our favorite training rides,” Wargin said. “If we didn’t have

to work the event, we would do the 62- or 100-miler.” Participants will be treated well during the ride. “We have really good goodie bags, fabulous aid stations and a fun post-ride party back at the school,” Wargin said. “We take good care of all of our riders because we are riders ourselves.” A portion of this year’s registration fees will help provide new school supplies to Douglas County students through the Kits for Kidz program. Last year’s ride drew 620 riders. The Wargins hope to see 700 riders participate in the 2014 event. Registration starts at $25 for the 6-mile ride, topping out at $100 for the 100-mile ride. Registration for the 45-, 62- and 100mile rides includes a jersey. To register, visit www.wackyw.com.

Denver broadcaster Suzie Wargin is the co-organizer for the fourth annual Wacky Bike Ride on Sept. 7. The event will begin from Rocky Heights Middle School in Highlands Ranch and benefit students in Douglas County. There will be options for riders to do 6-, 45-, 62- and 100-mile rides.

New restaurant barbecues Colorado style Centennial eatery to have grand openening Aug. 22-24 By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com

The main star of the show is the brick pit smoker, said Dana Rosenberg, owner of a new family-owned barbecue restaurant opening in Centennial. Burt’s Smokehouse BBQ, 7470 S. University Blvd., will hold its grand opening celebration from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Aug. 2224. The barbecue pit is a brick-walled, wood-burning unit that does not use any electricity, Rosenberg said. It was designed and built especially for Burt’s Smokehouse BBQ. “We use oak and hickory, and it kind of burns around the clock,” Rosenberg said. “There’s some real magic in there.” Rosenberg said the barbecue pit is not hidden from the public’s view, so attendees of the grand opening will get to see it in action. Other entertainment for the celebration includes live music on Aug. 23. From

12:30 to 3:30 p.m., country singer and former American Idol contestant Matt Buckstein will perform; and from 5 to 8 p.m., local band Potcheen will take the stage. Throughout the weekend, the restaurant will be giving away a bottle of Burt’s BBQ Sauce with any order over $20, limited to one per family. The sauce is unique to the restaurant, and will not be sold retail, but people may purchase it in-house, Rosenberg said. Additionally, Rosenberg said complimentary food samples, including smoked meats and side dishes, and free T-shirts will be given away all weekend. “We are a Colorado-style barbecue,” Rosenberg said, and added that their signature dish is their trademarked Burtsribs. She said different regions have different styles of barbecue, such as one would find in Texas, St. Louis or Memphis, among others. Rosenberg said their restaurant’s taste has been developed through their family’s generations, which will continue through their future generations, to define a true Colorado-style barbecue. This is the first Burt’s Smokehouse BBQ location, and three generations will be managing the restaurant, Rosenberg said. Her family has lived in the Centennial area for 20 years, she said, and the area will

benefit from a family-oriented, family-run business. “These techniques and recipes have

been in our family for generations,” Rosenberg said. “And we want to share them with Colorado.”

Complementary medicine can lift minds, bodies Practices like acupuncture, massage gaining greater general acceptance By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com

Gene Barron, 62, has always led an active lifestyle. He skis about 45 days a year. He mountain bikes, plays softball and works out regularly. He does this despite suffering from continuous back pain that began at the age of 16 when he hyperextended his back playing basketball. The pain worsened as he grew older, making everyday tasks, such as bending over to pick up a shoe, or slightly turning around to reach something in the backseat of his car, difficult to manage. But regular chiropractic treatment — one of many tools in the growing trend of complementary care — has helped the Highlands Ranch pastor maintain his active life. “Regular chiropractic care, plus exercise, really helps,” Barron said. “There’s pretty much a 100 percent improvement.” Many compelling stories prove there are benefits of combining complementary medicine — which also includes acupuncture and massage therapy — with primary care, said Melissa Glassey, manager for Kaiser Permanente’s Colorado Centers for Complementary Medicine. The idea of using complementary medicine — once considered alternative medicine not offered under mainstream care and insurance — to benefit traditional allopathic medicine is growing in popularity because evidence-based medicine proves it is effective and safe, said Dr. Tracy McCubbin, medical director of Kaiser’s complementary medicine centers. Complementary medicine can help with typical conditions such as chronic and general back pain, migraines, autoimmune conditions, allergies and asthma, stress management, anxiety, depression and insomnia, she said. “Even though some people may be skeptical of using complementary services, like chiropractic work or therapeutic massage,

the beauty is it is a choice,” said McCubbin, who views herself as an integrative physician who focuses on a patient’s lifestyle. Kaiser opened its fifth complementary medicine location in the metro area in Highlands Ranch on July 28. The idea is to connect mind, body and spirit, and provide truly integrated care, said Glassey. Complementary medicine “addresses the total health of the person,” she said. “It complements the quality of care they are already receiving.” Eva Levy, a licensed acupuncturist with Kaiser, is glad to see more people using complementary medicine in conjunction with their primary care. Society relies on Western medicine, she said, but there are a lot of different avenues that a person can take to obtain health. “Western medicine takes care of the big picture, (but) sometimes there are other factors that complementary medicine can help,” Levy said. “Acupuncture is a deep medicine that can treat at a deep level.” Levy has treated seniors, teens, drug addicts and chemotherapy patients. Acupuncture can help those suffering with depression and anxiety, she said, but it is most known for pain management — including emotional pain. “A positive attitude helps prognosis,” she said. Acupuncture increases circulation to different points in the body to promote healing, and also increases dopamine, so a person is guaranteed to leave relaxed, Levy said. There is no prescription drug interaction with acupuncture, and it is a natural medicine, so there are no side effects, she said. “The worst that can happen is that nothing happens,” Levy said. Massage therapy also works as a complementary medicine practice because it creates healthier muscle tissue by increasing circulation, said Robin Lewis, a certified and registered massage therapist, who owns her own massage studio and teaches at the Massage Therapy Institute of Colorado. Complementary medicine supports the body doing its job, Lewis said. “It helps the body function the way it’s supposed to,” Lewis said. “The body needs its tissues worked, just like a car needs regular maintenance.”

Eva Levy, licensed acupuncturist with Kaiser Permanente Colorado Centers for Complementary Medicine, prepares acupuncture needles prior to an appointment. The needles are tiny, she said, so they don’t hurt, and a new set of sterile needles is used for each patient. The new complementary medicine center in Highlands Ranch opened July 28. Photo by Christy Steadman Barron said he used to have a tendency to think that chiropractors recommended return visits because they just wanted his money. Then, one of his friends became a chiropractor and provided Barron with care free of charge. The friend told him to come twice a month.

Online lottery sales banned as new state law takes effect Bill received unanimous support in Senate, strong bipartisan backing in House By Vic Vela

Now that he has been on a regular schedule with a chiropractor for about 10 years, Barron has no need for pain medication, and he hasn’t had his back go out or suffered a spasm for about seven years, he said. “A chiropractor helps keep it straightened out,” Barron said.

A law that temporarily prohibits lottery tickets from being sold online took effect earlier this month. The law was a response to a 2011 decision by the U.S. Department of Justice that opened the door for states to allow lottery ticket sales over the Internet. But Many Democrat and Republican lawmakers this year were concerned that online sales would hurt small businesses, particularly convenience stores that rely on lottery ticket sales. Lawmakers were also worried that online sales would make it easier for minors to gamble and that online lottery ticket sales would be akin to the expansion of gaming in the state. The law puts a three-year hold on online lottery ticket sales, to allow for more study on its impact. “Allowing lottery tickets to be sold on the Internet had the potential to undermine the strong and successful partner-

ship between local businesses and the state of Colorado,” State Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Gilpin County, said through an emailed statement. “In addition to helping keep lottery tickets out of the hands of minors, this law protects entrepreneurs and helps strengthen Colorado’s economic recovery by encouraging customers to shop at local grocery and convenience stores.” Nicholson sponsored the bill in the Senate with Canon City Republican Sen. Kevin Grantham, where it received unanimous support. The bill also received overwhelming bipartisan support in the House, where Republicans unanimously backed and 23 Democrats voted in favor of it as well. Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, one of 14 Democrats to vote against the bill, argued during a Feb. 24 House floor debate that denying lottery ticket sales online takes away potential revenue from the state and that it’s near-sighted to contain modern market forces. “This is, in a very simple way, a protectionist measure to simply stop the market forces, stop technology from emerging and simply keep the status quo in place,” he said. The law took effect Aug. 6.

Holiday means Taste is back Downtown festival loaded with food, performances By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com For thousands of metro-area folks, Labor Day weekend, Aug. 29-Sept. 1, means Taste of Colorado festival time: free admission; five stages of entertainment; more than 50 food booths, ranging from hot dogs to “fine dining”; artists; and a section called “Festival of the Mountain and Plain,” which is where it all started in 1895. First organized by Denver businessmen, including William Byers of the Rocky Mountain News, it featured a parade with 25 bands, a masquerade ball that attracted 5,000 and exhibits of American Indian dances and culture, according to an online history. It lasted until 1912 and then fizzled out until about 30 years ago, when Denver business owners started it up again for the same reasons: to bring people downtown. The Denver Civic Center will be filled with activity (there will be some street closures) and bands will be playing rock, country, Motown and more all day long. Openers on Friday will be Rebel Tongue at 11:45 a.m. with hip-hop, jazz and soul, followed by Denver’s Two Girls With Guitars at 2:15 and the Mary Louise Lee Band with music from the 1960s and today at 5:30 p.m. (Lee is married to Denver Mayor Michael Hancock.) In the food area, culinary demonstrations by well-known chefs are scheduled and there will be more than 50 marketplace booths, including Fine Art in the Park and a Home and Lifestyles area with products for home remodeling, as well as salons and spas. The state’s pioneer past, nature, the environment and Native American arts such as Navajo weaving and culture will be demonstrated in the Festival of Mountain and Plain area, plus early crafts such as spinning, rug braiding and lace crocheting. A blacksmith demonstration is always popular. Nearby is a KidzStage with music, clowns, puppets, play equipment and hands-on crafts for kids. Among the bands scheduled are Motown legends The Commodores, Denver’s DeLeon Brothers Band, En Vogue, the Wallflowers and the Christian pop/ rock duo King and Country. On Labor Day, alternative rock band Rumours Follow will open at 10:45 a.m. and longtime local group Chris Daniels and the Kings will close out the festival, starting at 6 p.m. with a mix of R&B, funk, “jump blues” and rock.

If you thought keeping up with the Joneses was an unobtainable goal, try keeping up with the Smiths. Kaily Smith, daughter of former Denver dwellers Iris and Michael Smith, two of the nicest rich people you’d ever want to meet, married Adam Westbrook Aug. 2 with reception entertainment by superstar singer John Mayer. But wait, there’s more. For the wedding rehearsal the night before at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point, Calif., guests were moved and grooved by Usher and Stevie Wonder. The father of the bride, who made his millions in the natural gas industry, spent $5 million on the parties, according to www.tmz.com, which also captured photos. The pre-wedding party was staged in a carnival theme including a Ferris wheel flanked by walls covered in white roses. Kaily, who grew up in Denver, and Adam have homes in Los Angeles and New York, but reportedly call New York home. She’s an actress who made her Broadway debut in the romantic comedy “The Performers.” Check out the pictures at www.tmz.com.

Boulder, FoCo get nod

The Mary Louise Lee Band will perform on opening day at the 2014 Taste of Colorado Festival.

Boulder took the top spot and Fort Collins weighed in at No. 14 in Best College Reviews’ list of the 50 Best College Towns. The website used the criteria of livability, student-to-resident ratio, cultural offerings, school presence and large employers when ranking the country’s top college towns. Here’s what the site said about Boulder’s No. 1 position: “Boulder is known as a hip and healthy town with a hippy past and great views of the Flatirons. Boulder is one of the nation’s most celebrated towns — in rankings it regularly gets voted the best outdoor town, the brainiest city, one of the top cities for artists and America’s Foodiest Town.” As to Fort Collins, Best College Reviews said, “Fort Collins is home to Colorado State University and on `Money’ magazine’s Best Place to Live in the US list since 2006. A great homegrown music and microbrewery scene complement the town’s collegiate vibes, with one of its most attended events hosted by New Belgium Brewery; `Tour de Fat’ as the event is called, draws over 20,000 people riding bikes and dressing in costume.” See the entire list at www.bestcollegereviews. org/50-best-college-towns-america.

Open and shut

Gallo di Nero, an Italian eatery at 1135 Bannock St. in the Golden Triangle, has closed its doors not long after a press event to celebrate the grand opening. Restaurant owner Josh Barhaug issued a statement that said, “The reasons for the quick closing are as follows: there is a potential buyer for the property; Chef (Darren) Pusateri has accepted an offer at another local eatery and he would like to spend more time with his family. “Gallo Di Nero’s management team (consisting of Barhaug; Pusateri, and Noel Martin, general manager) would like to thank you for attending last month’s private media event. The team would also like to thank their Denver patrons and restaurant regulars for their business and support.”

Overheard The Commodores will sing blues and Motown music at the Taste of Colorado.

IF YOU GO The Taste of Colorado/Festival of Mountain and Plain fills Denver’s Civic Center between 14th Avenue, Colfax Avenue, Broadway and Bannock Street from Aug. 29 to Sept. 2.

RIDING INTO THE SUNSET

Grand Marshal Dr. Charlie Vail celebrates the “Giddy Up!” theme for 2014, the Year of the Horse. Vail is an owner at Littleton Equine Center on Santa Fe Drive. Western Welcome Week 2014, “Giddy Up!,” went off without the proverbial hitch. Though it was quite warm, no dreaded rain fell from the sky on Festival Day, Aug. 16. So with no bad weather to deter them, hundreds of people swarmed Main Street for the Grand Parade, which started at 10 a.m. at Ketring Park, headed west on Littleton Boulevard and ended up by The Melting Pot on Main Street. Dozens of entries included marching bands, floats, horses, first responders, veterans groups, antique tractors, hot rods and more. Afterward, people enjoyed corn on the cob, turkey legs, steak on a stick and icecold beer and lemonade while browsing handmade items in the Arts and Crafts Festival. Cowboy Steve entertained young and old alike, and a variety of dance groups delighted audiences on the WWW Dance Stage.

Variety marks arts center’s season Venue aims to please patrons while drawing new attendees By Jane Reuter jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com On Aug. 4, the first day of ticket sales for the Lone Tree Art Center’s 2014-15 season, it sold two times more tickets than on any previous day. In that first week, ticket purchases totaled $78,000. “That was 50 percent more than we did the entire first month the previous year,” marketing director Katie Maltais said. It was a pleasant surprise, but given the planning that went into the new season, not a complete shock. As the LTAC enters its fourth season, its staff has learned a thing or two about drawing an audience. “The season is the result of probably four solid months of very, very careful and specific planning,” executive director Lisa Rigsby Peterson said. “I think each season keeps getting better and better.” The selections are based on favorites from the past, and many go a few steps further. “This year was really carefully crafted around what our patrons are looking for,” said Maltais. “Some of it pushes them outside of that comfort zone of what they have come to expect. We put a lot of thought around what we are we doing to serve our current audience, how can we take them a little further, and what’s going to bring in new audiences.” For example, Maltais said the center has built a jazz following with the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra. “This year we said, `Let’s go one step further,’ and Igor Butman and the Moscow Jazz Orchestra is coming,” she said. Russia’s Butman and his ensemble are

described as “one of the best hard-core jazz units around.” The emphasis also is on variety. Representing an entirely separate musical genre, international opera singer Nathan Gunn also is on the calendar. Musicals, magic shows, ballets, Broadway tunes, a cappella acts, ‘80s music and Motown represent a sample of the season’s varied menu offerings. December’s offerings include six different holiday shows. “We’re talking about it like it’s a December festival,” Maltais said. “They’re so diverse.” The productions include “Cowboy Christmas,” “The Nutcracker,” a big band and holiday brass concert and the nowtraditional “Home for the Holidays” variety show. “Home for the Holidays” is among three of the 2014-15 shows created by the LTAC staff. “We are going to continue to create our own work, which is something we didn’t think we could do when we opened,” Peterson said. “We want to meet the artistic quality standards we’ve got, and share with our audience things we think they want to see.” The LTAC also is producing the musical “Guys and Dolls in Concert” and a humorous whodunit, “The 39 Steps.” If early-season ticket sales weren’t enough to indicate LTAC is on the right path, numbers of season-ticket holders add more proof. The center has more than 400. “The trend all over the country is subscriptions continue to drop; people want to buy single tickets,” Peterson said. “We’re bucking the national trend. Our subscriptions are growing. I think that’s pretty extraordinary, especially for a very young organization like ours.” For more information on the LTAC’s 2014-15 season, visit lonetreeartscenter. org.

It will be exhibited in a collaborative show, called “3D Piction,” at Dorf’s Artists on Santa Fe in September.

She teaches at Regis University and has taught 3D animation and digital image manipulation at the Art Institute of Colorado and Metropolitan State University. She is an initiated shaman and is pursuing a degree in transpersonal psychology. Her spiritual interests appear in her layered imagery, and she has been involved in larger projects, such as murals at Regis, although she is primarily a printmaker. Dorf has been a ceramic artist for 40 years and creates both functional pieces and one-of-a-kind sculptures. He graduated from Southern Illinois University

and was, with Larry Wright, one of the original Two Potters in a longtime Littleton Main Street business, now closed. He lived and worked in France and returned to Colorado as a production potter in Durango. When he moved back to Denver he began working in what is now Artists on Santa Fe — a gallery and cluster of individual studios which he owns. It was there, his website says, that he began making his distinctive sculptures. He said his series exploring the human form is called “Attitudes.” His “Ruins” series reflects time spent in Utah’s red rocks country and uses pictographs painted on larger surfaces, which led to the photo image on clay in the present show.

Musical takes note of silent-film days ‘Mack and Mabel’ plays at Aurora’s Vintage Theatre By Sonya Ellingboe

s e l l i n g b o e @ c o l o ra d o communitymedia.com “Mack and Mabel,” a musical by Jerry Herman, with book by Michael Stewart (and some later revisions by Stewart’s sister, Francine Pascal), opened Aug. 8 at Vintage Theatre under the direction of Bernie Cardell. It tells the audience a story about silent movie director Mack Sennett and his on-again, off-again love affair with his favorite star, Mabel Normand, from 1911 to 1938. Sennett, portrayed by experienced leading man Keegan Flaugh, is so stub-

IF YOU GO “Mack and Mabel” plays through Sept. 14 at Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St., Aurora. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Thursday, Sept. 11; 2:30 p.m. Sundays and Saturday, Sept. 13. Tickets: $26 ($21 advance,) 303-856-7830, vintagetheatre.com. born and unwilling to move into the obvious future of filmmaking (note the song “Movies Were Movies”) that one is not entirely sympathetic with his character. He is not capable of being a caring lover when he meets Mabel, although he is certainly smitten. His song, “I Won’t Send Roses” is one of the show’s outstanding numbers — and there are many. Glimpses of early Hollywood carry the production

along. Mabel Normand (a charming Rachelle Wood) is in love with Mack, but finally gives up on their relationship — for a while. The musical originally opened on Broadway in 1974 and closed after eight weeks. Writer Stewart died and his sister was called in to revise the script somewhat for a later revival. It did extremely well in London and has played at various U.S. venues. Director Bernie Cardell maintains Herman’s score “is right up there with Herman’s `Hello, Dolly’ and `Mame.’” He brings many years of directing skill to this, his 17th collaboration with Vintage Theatre, and will probably have smoothed out a few rough spots with another week of onstage performances by this 19-member cast,

as will music director Eric Weinstein. It’s wonderful to have a live band onstage, but perhaps rehearsal time was a little short to gain the precision demanded by Herman’s zippy score. (We attended on Aug. 9, just after opening.) The show includes several entertaining dance numbers, choreographed by Jessica Hindsley — one featuring Sennett’s trademark Keystone Kops and another big tap number: “Tap Your Troubles Away.” And these are enhanced by Cindy Franke’s detailed period costumes. “Mack and Mabel” doesn’t have the depth of America’s top musicals, but it has a great score and an engaging story. It’s a treat to see a musical one hasn’t seen before. Kudos to Vintage for bringing it to Denver.

Store welomes author of Sigma Force Series Readers have chance to meet Rollins in Ranch By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com James Rollins will spin stories for his readers at 7 p.m. Aug. 22 at Tattered Cover Book Store in Highlands Ranch. The retired veterinarian, with a background in evolutionary biology, writes thrillers that combine history, science and science fiction, with some military overtones. His fast-paced tales are grounded in reality, including recently discovered realities, carrying the reader from place to place in a short span of time as crises loom, ethical decisions are made and the reader learns about ancient mysteries and cutting-edge science.

“The Sixth E x t i n c t i o n” is the 10th in James Rollins will appear Rollins’ Sigma at 7 p.m. Aug. 22 at Tattered Force Series, Cover Highlands Ranch, 9315 and while Dorchester St., Highlands characters and Ranch Town Center, to read their relationfrom and sign his latest Sigma ships have Force Series title, “The Sixth some continuExtinction.” Information: 303ity, each book 470-7050. is a standalone read that will probably keep the reader up late for several nights — kind of like a mini-vacation to places you’ve never contemplated.

Wayne Sigma Series that especially focuses on highly trained military dogs — in this case, a remarkable creature named Kane. The series developed after the author’s trip to Iraq and Kuwait in 2010, where he became acquainted with military dogs and their handlers. A new title in this series, “The Kill Switch,” co-authored with Navy veteran Grant Blackwood, was published in May 2014 and will no doubt also be available at the Tattered Cover. Rollins ends his books with a rewarding additional feature: “Author’s Note to Readers: Truth or Fiction” which in “The Sixth Extinction” begins with recommended books on synthetic biology and speculations on an apocalyptic future, He offers notes on creation of artificial life and attempts to recreate extinct species, genetics, “bio-hacking,” microbial life, Antarctic life and more. The reader will have indeed been on a trip.

Trusty sheriff prevails again 15th entry in Brady series takes thrills across nation By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Although fictional Joanna Brady is the sheriff of Arizona’s Cochise County and lives in its county seat of Bisbee, J.A. Jance’s 15th Brady mystery begins many miles to the east — in Greater Barrington, Mass. “The Remains of Innocence” is a convoluted collection of parallel stories beginning with young waitress Liza Machette discovering a quantity of money in the home of her mother, Selma, a bitter, angry woman who is dying of emphysema. Liza uses a portion of it to repair the run-down, cluttered house of a hoarder, where she and her brother endured a difficult , abusive childhood. Their father deserted early in their lives. Who was he? (A gentle, lighter touch is Liza’s habit of categorizing the folks in town by what they order from her at Daisy’s restaurant.) The house burns down on the day of Selma’s funeral. Liza’s landlady is murdered and a mysterious stranger warns Lisa that she’s in danger, due to her father’s crime connections. With help from her boss at the restaurant, she decides to flee to Arizona, where her brother Guy lives. He is Cochise County’s medical examiner and leads an unusual private life.

Meanwhile, in Bisbee, Sheriff Brady — a true professional, but also a wife and mom — is puzzling over the death of a mentally handicapped young man, whose body is found in an abandoned limestone cavern, with a badly abused kitten. Contemporary forensic techniques are in force and Brady is in contact with the law officer in Massachusetts. In the meantime, Liza is fleeing across the nation via an interesting Underground Railroad system designed for abused women and additional murders occur, while Brady deals with a pair of evil teenage twins in Arizona. Jance’s plotting keeps the reader intrigued throughout — criss-crossing the country and its varying geographic features — although several murders accomplished via mob-style violence were more gruesome than this reader might wish to imagine. Puzzle pieces eventually are fitted together, of course, although Liza’s future is open to speculation. This prolific writer, Jance, who lives in Arizona and Seattle, has — in addition to the 15 Brady books — published a longer series featuring J.P. Beaumont, a number of single titles and a book of poetry. A master storyteller, she has more than 20 million books in print — fast-paced thrillers that could make a fine vacation read.

“Remains of Innocence” by J.A. Jance features Sheriff Brady of Bisbee, Ariz., juggling murders and clues across the country until she pulls the threads together. Courtesy photo

BBQ fun returns to downtown Parker Smokin’ Brew fires up the pits Aug. 29-31 By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com A bittersweet summer send-off will infuse Parker with the intoxicating scent of barbecue. The people of Douglas County aren’t the only ones waiting with simmering anticipation for the Smokin’ Brew BBQ in downtown Parker Aug. 29-31. Certified judges are prepping their finely-tuned taste buds for the arrival of the nation’s best barbecue specialists. More than 50 competitors will battle it out for trophies and, more importantly, bragging rights during the Kansas City Barbecue Society-sanctioned event, which is now in its sixth year. With painstaking care, weekend warriors and circuit regulars will fire up delicacies from the four main competitive categories: ribs, chicken, pork and brisket. Parker resident Jim Chincholl is one of the fortunate few who will get an inside look and an inside taste of the action. As an official KCBS master judge, he has hot-off-the-grill meats delivered directly to his table. Even though he’s not judging at Smokin’ Brew this year and will instead oversee the judges, he acknowledges that his normal duties somehow never get old. “I really enjoy judging and do a steady 30 events per year,” Chincholl said. Which begs the obvious question: how does one become qualified to devour and rate barbecue in a semi-professional capacity? As Chincholl knows, it’s not easy, but it is enjoyable. He took a four-hour class, judged 30 sanctioned competitions in multiple states, was embedded with a barbecue team, then took a rigorous exam to make sure he knew his stuff. When asked what it takes to become a respected wielder of tongs and spatulas, Chincholl said it’s important not to be a one-trick pony. “You’ve got to learn them all and be

equally good on all of them,” he said of the different types of meats. “Otherwise you’re not going to be in the top echelon of cooks.” Entries are judged based on appearance, taste and tenderness. A rating of “one” means disqualification for mistakes, like leaving a piece of foil in the meat, using the wrong garnish or submitting the entry outside of the required 10-minute Friday, Aug. 29: 4-10 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 30: 10 a.m.-10 p.m. window. The scale only Sunday, Aug. 31: 10 a.m.-6 p.m. goes to nine b e c a u s e “there is no such thing as perfect barbecue,” Chincholl said. Not all of the competitors will be selling their creations at Smokin’ Brew; eight barbecue vendors will set up along with a half-dozen booths that sell sides and desserts. Visitors must buy tickets to spend at the booths, and prices range from 3 to 12 tickets, said John Diak, entertainment coordinator for the Cherry Creek Valley Rotary Club, which organizes the competition and public festival. Smokin’ Brew is the largest annual fundraising event for the Rotary club. It spends the funds on community events like Trickor-Treat on Mainstreet, and helps nonprofits like the Parker Task Force and Project Sanctuary, said Diak, who is also a Parker Town Council member. Other highlights of the three-day festival include: the Kids Q Championship, a Saturday night event that enables children to join the barbecuing action; Cow Pie Bingo, in which participants buy tickets in the hopes that a cow will “do its business” on their selected number and win half of the proceeds from ticket sales; last year’s grand champion, TrueBud BBQ, is returning to defend its title; live music on Saturday and Sunday; and an awards ceremony at 5 p.m. Aug. 31.

Master chefs reunite at Boettcher Mansion First national gathering occurs in Denver, features two area food artists By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@colorado communitymedia.com An evening filled with delicacies prepared by some of the best local chefs raised money for the preservation of the Boettcher Mansion — and everyone left with a good taste in their mouth. The menu was prepared in advance by certified master chefs from all over the country. And while they mingled and caught up with one another at the first master chef reunion of its kind, local industry leaders churned out their dishes, allowing everyone to taste what their fellow top chefs had been up to. “It’s fantastic,” said Ed Janos, of Highlands Ranch. “The curry is delicious. All the food is excellent.” Janos, one of just 68 master chefs in the country and three from Colorado, spent much of the evening chatting with an old friend from Michigan, chef Daniel Rowlson, who teaches the culinary arts in Oakland County, Mich. Rowlson even helped to teach Janos’ wife, Kristin, when she was starting out.

Janos moved with his wife to Highlands Ranch 17 years ago from the Detroit area, and among his many accomplishments since his arrival, led a group of Colorado chefs to a second-place finish at a world culinary competition in South Korea. He and his wife run Cook’s Fresh Market in Denver. He had been to the governor’s residence just a few months prior, but for a different reason. That time Janos was busy preparing a meal for Gov. John Hickenlooper and his guests at the Boettcher Mansion’s Carriage House. This time, though, it was an opportunity to mingle with some of the most creative chefs on the planet. “I don’t know where you could do it where it would be done better,” said David Davis, president of the American Culinary Federation’s Colorado Chefs Association. “It’s pretty exciting that this is the first time an event like this has happened. It’s absolutely amazing to be part of.” Davis, who works at Boulder favorites The Sink and West Flanders Brewing Co., may not be a master chef himself, but then again, few are. He pointed out that one of the main reasons for the event, in addition to getting everyone together, was to help with the preservation of the Boettcher Mansion, something the Colorado Chefs Association is heavily involved in. Proceeds from all

Bill Franklin, center, of Centennial, and Ed Janos, right of Highlands Ranch, are two of just 68 certified master chefs in the country. Photo by Ryan Boldrey tickets sold helped go to necessary repairs and upkeep on the governor’s residence. “This really is historic,” said Certified Master Chef Bill Franklin, of Centennial. “We have people who have come from as far away as New York and as close as Centennial and Highlands Ranch. Getting

them all in one place is a big feat. I’m so impressed.” After seeing the success of the first event, Franklin said, plans call to triple it in size, and do it again in Denver next year. The event also raised money for the American Culinary Federation.

Setters key to heart of team success Area players among state’s best at `quarterbacking’ position By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com If Peyton Manning played volleyball, he would be a setter. Manning obviously plays quarterback for the Denver Broncos but he has all the assets of a good volleyball setter. A setter needs to possess athletic ability, touch, leadership and the intelligence to make a team successful. “Good setters are invaluable,” said Chaparral girls volleyball coach T.R. Ellis. “They are the offense. They are the quarterback, they run the team.” Ponderosa coach Rob Graham takes the extra time to find and develop a setter. “A lot of things make a good setter,” explained Graham. “When we look at setters we list three qualities. We list them in this order. We list head first, feet second and hands third… We want an intelligent player, we want a quick thinking player, and we want somebody that can understand the flow of volleyball.” Ponderosa senior setter Becca Page was an All-Continental League selection and a Class 4A CHSSNow.com All-Stater last season. “I definitely feel like a quarterback out there,” admitted Page. “To be a setter you kind of have to take the role of being a quarterback. You are the leader on the court, you dictate all the plays and you make sure the other players are doing their roles too. “Before serve or receive I have 12 differ-

ent plays. Every player on the court knows their plays and I’ll just say play six. They run that play but in transition the hitters run their own.” Page doesn’t shout “Omaha” like Manning but finding a good volleyball quarterback can be difficult. “The great ones are very hard to find,” said Graham. “We list that order because we believe we can train the hands. Players get the game or they don’t, they have fast feet or they don’t. We always say to be a great setter you have to have all three but you can still be a very, very good setter if you have two of three.” Often most of the attention focused on a volleyball team starts with the hitters and defensive specialists. “You have to be pretty selfish as a setter,” said Graham. “Everybody notices the big kill, everybody can see a big block or a great dig. But very few people understand the importance of the setter putting the ball in the same spot every time. “The way I kind of look at the setter is they are not only the quarterback of the team but they are an extension of the coaching staff. They need to know where to go, when to go, and when to go to different players based on the rhythm of the game.” Page doesn’t get the attention like Manning but doesn’t care. “Setting is really one of the positions that doesn’t get recognized because we are not the point scorers typically,” she said. “When I won All-State it showed people do recognize that the position is a very important. I love being a setter. I love touching the ball. Pretty much on the third play I’m guaranteed to touch the ball since I touch every second ball. And I’m short so I

Photo by Ryan Boldrey ABOVE: Senior Becca Page is Ponderosa’s returning All-Continental League and CHSAANow.Com Class 4A All-State setter. Photo by Jim Benton couldn’t really play on the front row.” Douglas County’s Ally Clancy, a second team Class 5A All-State player, acknowledges there is pressure that goes with being a setter. “At times there can be pressure,” said Clancy. “When you are winning, you get the glory, everybody is happy, everything is going good and everybody is so positive. But when you are losing and you are down points you can definitely see change in the duties of your job because as a quarterback you still have to maintain your positivity even if you don’t have the reasons to be positive. “It’s a huge challenge because players

are not going to be positive all the time. They are going to be in slumps and have bad attitudes. As a setter you have to maintain them as well as yourself even off court. Page, the same as Clancy, is 5-foot-7. But both have excelled despite height limitations. “In a perfect world we would like every player to be 6-foot,” said Graham. “In high school, you get the players you get. If we see a tall athlete, they all want to hit, but we try to convince them that they could be a good setter. If you are a 6-foot hitter, you are a dime a dozen. If you are a 6-foot setter you are a wanted commodity.”

Heads up — soccer concussions scrutinized Properly headed balls not to blame for issues, studies say By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Concussions are a growing concern for American football coaches. But are the other football coaches, known in this country as soccer coaches, concerned about headers causing possible concussions? The spotlight on concussions has created a debate on whether soccer players who play a ball with their forehead to clear, pass or shoot can cause concussions or long-term brain damage. “Heading is not responsible for concussions,” insisted Heritage coach Adam Buseck. According to reports in the Center for Injury Research and Policy more high school soccer players had concussions in 2010 than basketball, baseball, wrestling and softball players combined. The CIRP narrative claimed concussions for the 2011-12 school year represented 34 percent of all injuries in boys soccer and 30

percent in girls soccer. There have been myriad studies on heading the soccer ball and almost all claim there is a low occurrence of concussions caused by heading the ball. Most soccer concussions, studies say, come when a player is accidentally hit in the head with a ball, or makes contact with a goal post, the ground or another player with their head. “Heading is not where I’ve seen any damage in relation to concussions,” said Cherry Creek coach Chleo Curi. “The damage comes from two heads hitting each other. That’s where I see them. And when sometimes a player falls down on this new Astroturf that we are using everywhere and he hits his head on the turf. That’s a jolt to the brain and a potential concussion. Then there is somebody who might be elbowed in head.” Many players have not been taught how to properly head a soccer ball, coaches say. A player should go meet the ball and not let the ball come to him. The ball should be stuck in the center of the forehead where the hairline meets the scalp. The players should attempt to be balanced and the force should be from bending from the waist and snapping the

head and neck forward. “The majority of players do know how to head a ball but there are certainly some that do not,” said Curi. “I’m the varsity coach, so by the time they get to me most of them do. As they come here as freshmen, absolutely not. “A big part of going up to head a ball is to have your hands out in front to protect yourself. So rarely do two heads crash into each other. If both players use the proper technique which is to put their arms up, not away from their body, just up to protect any player coming any closer than that (that helps prevent collision). There is a proper technique of keeping your chin down close to your chest and arching your back and more or less throwing your eyes at the ball. That’s a catchy phrase that I always use. You need to arch your back, have your chin close to your chest and have your arms in in front to protect yourself from other players.” Ponderosa senior Lars Peterson didn’t start learning to head a soccer ball until he was 10-years-old and admits staying balanced to head a ball is tough. He said he doesn’t often head a ball during a socSoccer continues on Page 27

Romanoff-Coffman Debate The first debate between former speaker of the house Andrew Romanoff and U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman was held in a packed room last Wednesday, August 14 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Highlands Ranch. The event was attended by hundreds of supporters, businesspeople, and community leaders. The lively discussion was moderated by Aaron Harber, host of “The Aaron Harber Show TM” and “The Aaron Harber Show: Colorado Now TM.” Harber himself played a large role in the debate, pressing the candidates to answer questions directly, rather than skirt inflammatory issues. These issues often drew vocal shouts of approval or condemnation from the candidates’ supporters. Introductions were provided by Robert Golden, president/CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber, and Jeff Wasden, president of the Colorado Business Roundtable.

The debate focused heavily on the Keystone XL Pipeline, immigration reform, national security, Fix the Debt, and the government’s role in business. The moderator also focused briefly on climate change, Obamacare, budget cuts, and women’s reproductive rights. Former state representative Robert Bowen said “It was a tremendous opportunity to hear both candidates answer questions and state their views.” The debate was the result of collaboration between the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, Denver South Economic Development Partnership, Northwest Douglas County Economic Development Corporation, Chamber of Commerce of Highland Ranch, and the Colorado Business Roundtable.

Creek uses ladder to reach, stay at top Kirk Price to retire as head coach following season By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Defending state champion Cherry Creek, like many high school boys tennis teams, has a tennis ladder to determine positions on the team. The Bruins’ ladder, however, is an extension ladder. Creek has a non-cut policy and averages 160 players per season. This year there are only 130 candidates trying out but a large ladder is still needed. Junior varsity coach Gary Harris is in charge of the ladder for head coach Kirk Price’s teams. Cherry Creek will have three varsity teams involving around 40 players. The remaining players form the junior varsity teams and the respective spots are each determined by movement on the ladder. Creek’s first tennis coach Rich Hillway gets credit for starting the tennis ladder, which has evolved over the years. “Rich started it, then we had a computer program that started with the Dos

program and evolved into what it is right now,” said Harris. “It’s on the Internet. We have a website. It’s part of the system that has evolved through a non-cut policy. A couple years ago we expanded to three varsity teams and we have three junior varsity teams. “To develop the varsity we have a cluster system. We have 10 clusters, four players in a cluster and those top 40 players determine the three varsity teams.” The Varsity 1 team consists of the top 11 players on the ladder plus one alternate, who moves up and down. Players 13 to 24 become the second varsity and 25 through 38 the third varsity. The coaches freeze these positions after cluster and assigned matches between the players are completed. Open challenge matches are allowed all season up through the last player assigned to Varsity 3. Eight players are chosen to compete in two singles clusters to compete for the top three positions and one doubles spot on Varsity 1. Players are chosen using ladder rank, summer tournament play, Intermountain rankings and coaches’ decisions as the criteria. The remaining players that make Varsity 1 are determined by doubles cluster play, which includes Varsity 2 and Varsity

Mellick as a sophomore and won the No. 1 doubles championship last fall with Jake Miller. He is battling for one of the top three singles positions this season. Soccer continues on Page 27

cer match. Retired European players coined the phrase “footballer’s migraine.” Potential problems and long-term effects of the

impact of headers are still being studied. Heading is a big part of the game and can’t be eliminated. It is a dramatic and challenging skill for soccer players to master. If properly performed, it not inherently dangerous and can be fun. However, Dr. Tom Schweizer who is the director of the neuroscience research program at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto pointed out in a February news

release that not enough is known about the long-range effects on heading a soccer ball. “The practice of heading, which might occur thousands of times over a player’s career, carries unknown risks but may uniquely contribute to cognitive decline or impairment in the short or longterm,” he said.

Depth has obviously been a key factor in Cherry Creek winning 39 of the last 43 state championships. “The program itself lends to building quality players,” said Price, who is retiring after this season. “One year, we only had one or two ranked players and we still won state and that’s because we build players from within with the ladder and team tournaments and the challenges at the beginning and all of that goes into it. They play continuously from day one.” Creek has six players returning who won or shared Class 5A state champion-

There were 40 players that came out for the Golden Eagles team, which doesn’t match Creek’s numbers but coach Jim Flanigan will have a strong team again. “Depth is very important when a team is trying to win a state title,” said Flanigan. “You gain points at every position and if you only have a few quality players at the top then you cannot get enough

COACH: Brian Schultz

2013 RECAP: The Eagles set three program re-

cords with 11 wins, eight shutouts and by reaching the second round of the Class 4A State playoffs for the first time. Valor was the only 4A school to beat state champion Cheyenne Mountain during the regular season.

TOP RETURNING PLAYERS: Robo Lanz, MF, Soph.; Brendan Clark, MF, Jr.; Hunter Peery, D, Jr.; Ian Thomas, D, Jr.; Josh Floyde, MF, Sr.; Brennan Veen, GK, Sr. 2014 OUTLOOK: Valor has graduated 23 seniors over the past two seasons and this fall young players will have to step up. Veen, Floyde, Nick Titterton and Ian Crawford are the seniors on the team. Crawford anchors a back line that returns three of four starters. The Eagles’ defense is a catalyst for the team’s high-tempo attack. “In the attack, look for Clark’s skill and pace to join forces with speedsters Lanz and Eric Jungjohann to produce a high octane assault,” said Schultz. “Valor will look to get midfielders Buddy Nelson, Ryan Turner and JJ Jungjohann forward frequently into attacking positions around the 18.”

points even if you win the top couple positions. “It is very hard to match Cherry Creek’s depth due to the size of the school and the amount of indoor facilities that feed into the school.” Flanigan, however, is not daunted. “As a coach you have to prepare your kids to win a state championship because that is the goal,” he said. “This year we have the same opportunity as Cherry Creek to win a state championship and we need to take advantage of that and believe in ourselves.”

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF AUG 18, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) A chaotic atmosphere taxes the patience of the Aries Lamb, who prefers to deal with a more orderly environment. Best advice: Stay out of the situation until things settle. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Tension runs high in both personal and workplace relationships. This can make it difficult to get your message across. Best to wait until you have a more receptive audience. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) This is a good time to take a break from your busy schedule to plan for some well-deserved socializing. You could get news about an important personal matter by the week’s end.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) An offer of help could come just when you seem to need it. But be careful about saying yes to anything that might have conditions attached that could cause problems down the line. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Sometimes a workplace colleague can’t be charmed into supporting the Lion’s position. That’s when it’s time to shift tactics and overwhelm the doubter with the facts. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) You continue to earn respect for your efforts to help someone close to you stand up to a bully. But be careful that in pushing this matter you don’t start to do some bullying yourself. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Don’t ask others if they think you’re up to a new responsibility. Having faith in your own abilities is the key to dealing with a challenge. P.S.: That “private” matter needs your attention. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) This is a good time to use that Scorpian creativity to come up with something special that will help get your derailed career plans back on track and headed in the right direction. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) While change is favored, it could be a good idea to carefully weigh the possible fallout as well as the benefits of any moves before you make them. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) The Goat continues to create a stir by following his or her own path. Just be sure you keep your focus straight and avoid any distractions that could cause you to make a misstep. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A colleague’s demands seem out of line. But before reacting one way or another, talk things out and see how you might resolve the problem and avoid future misunderstandings. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A personal matter appears to be making more demands on your time than you feel you’re ready to give. See if some compromise can be reached before things get too dicey.
