Planners examine Walk and Wheel plan City committed to improving walking, cycling routes on Lone Tree streets By Jane Reuter

Photo by John Klassen About 400 dogs and their owners sent the season out with a splash during Lone Tree’s annual Wag n’ Romp at the Cook Creek Pool Sept. 6. Dogs swam in the pool, while a few others attempted an obstacle course during four hours of canine chaos. Following the event, which signals the end of summer, crews drain the South Suburban Parks facility for the year. Canine winners this year included black lab Lucy for loudest bark, the Buzz Lightyear-attired Winston for best-dressed and Dutch for best swimmer.
A study to improve pedestrian and bicyclist access in Lone Tree continues, with planners gathering public feedback for the Walk and Wheel Plan. An update on the plan, scheduled to be submitted to the city council in draft form this December, was presented to the city council during its Sept. 2 meeting. The Walk and Wheel Plan is financed by a $100,000 Kaiser Permanente grant. Planners have attended public events to ask residents their thoughts about walking and cycling ease in Lone Tree. They’ll do so again at the Taste of Lone Tree Sept. 13. Those who can’t make the Taste can offer feedback online at www.ltwalkandwheel.com.

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper and former Congressman Bob Beauprez swapped barbs during a lively debate in Grand Junction on Aug. 6, marking the first time the two gubernatorial rivals squared off this fall. On almost every debate topic — ranging from hydraulic fracturing to the death penalty and the state of the economy — the two traded jabs over who would be the better man to lead the state over the next four years. The debate’s energy was aided by a lively audience that often interrupted the candidates with cheers and boos. That was especially the case toward the end of the debate, when Hickenlooper and Beauprez were given the opportunity to ask each other a series of direct questions. Beauprez used his first question to attack the governor over his evolving position on the death penalty, focusing on the

Families, friends walk to share stories, support Fifth annual event unites 1,500 in suicide prevention By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com
T
ony and Valerie Marietta, who lost their daughter to suicide, almost didn’t come to the Sept. 6 South Metro Out of the Darkness Walk. “We weren’t emotionally sure we could do it,” said Tony Marietta, carrying a large, full-color poster displaying four photographs of his late daughter with the quote, `Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness to pull another hand into the light.’ “But we just decided it was something we should do.” The Mariettas were living in Monument in March 2012 when Sarah, 22, jumped off the Royal Gorge bridge. A high school and college athlete, as well as a ballet dancer, she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 19. “She had the most severe form of bipolar disorder,” Tony Marietta said. “But she had just a very good personality. She was funny, too. We were real hopeful everything was going well … when we got the phone call.” The Mariettas, dedicated not just to suicide prevention but bipolar awareness,
were among several groups of people at Highlands Ranch High School carrying signs with photographs of loved ones’ faces or wearing matching T-shirts bearing the name or photograph of a family member or friend lost to suicide. More than 1,500 people walked in the annual event, among hundreds of walks nationwide organized by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The Highlands Ranch event raised more than $90,000 that will be used for suicide awareness and prevention. “I felt like I need to be an advocate,” said Littleton resident Rhonda Watson, who lost her 50-year-old sister Cherianne Matzenbacher of Roxborough to suicide four months ago. “If it wasn’t for the support group I was going to, I felt like I could be in the same situation she was.” Watson wore a T-shirt that depicted a smiling blonde woman wearing an orange boa. “She was my best friend,” Watson said. “But we couldn’t save her. “We need to be more open and talk about (suicide).” Cathy Kennedy, whose friends and family wore orange T-shirts bearing a photographed head shot of her 16-yearold son Cory, moved back to the Denver area from New York after he died from suicide in July 2012. “He’s missed dearly,” said Cathy Kennedy, whose 2014 walk was her fourth

Volunteers released several dozen butterflies into the air, which soared above the hundreds of walkers as they left the parking lot and began the
3-mile walk. The annual event, now in its fifth year, initially was organized by Sheri Cole, who lost her son David to suicide in 2009. Cole now is the AFSP’s Rocky Mountain area director. This year’s South Metro Walk chair is Laurie Freeman, who lost both her teenaged son and her husband to suicide. The week of Sept. 8-12 is National Suicide Prevention Week.

‘Bigger, better, more special’ Taste returns 7th annual Lone Tree event is Sept. 13 and 14 at Lincoln Commons By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com Twenty-five food vendors, four bands, two football games, beer, wine, a face painter, juggler and balloon artist are among the menu offerings for the 2014 Taste of Lone Tree. The 7th annual event is from noon to 6 p.m. Sept. 13 and 14 at the Lincoln Commons at RidgeGate, south of Lincoln Avenue near the Super Target store. “It’s so much bigger and better and more special than it has been,” said Donna Russell, spokeswoman for the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce that coordinates the event. “It really is a great value. I’m very excited about the potential of this event and the offerings we have for the public.” Participating restaurants on the long list include Seasons 52, Pisco Sour, LYFE, Brio, Carmine’s, It’s Brothers, Sonoma’z, the Rio and Lone Tree Grill among others. Football fans can attend the event and not miss the game too, thanks to Prudential, one of this year’s sponsors. The company is setting up a 30-foot by 40-foot tent with large-screen televisions that will act as a no-fee sports lounge, broadcasting college football Sept. 13 and pro football Sept. 14. Another large tent, dubbed the Comcast Culinary Center, will feature Top Chef and and Iron Chef American contestant Kelly Liken, who owns Vail’s Restaurant Kelly

Small business center shifts offices Satellite site opens in Lone Tree city building By Jane Reuter jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com Lone Tree restaurateurs Lucinda and Jimmy Crane just celebrated eight months of owning their own business. “Some things were meant to be, and this is one of them,” Lucinda Crane said of the family-run Cranelli’s Italian Restaurant on Park Meadows Drive. She credits the successful launch of the business not just to the couple’s restaurant and business backgrounds, but also to the South Metro Denver Small Business Development Center. Advisers there helped the couple prepare their business plan for an ultimately successful loan application to
the Colorado Enterprise Fund. The center intends to write similar success stories in its new City of Lone Tree satellite office, located in the same office that houses the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce. The suite is in the Lone Tree City Administration building at 9220 Kimmer Drive. The SBDC, housed at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce offices in Centennial since 2003, now has moved its main office to the City of Aurora Municipal Center at 15151 E. Alameda Parkway. Aurora previously served as its satellite office. At its new satellite Lone Tree office, consulting will be available by appointment only. The SBDC helps existing and new businesses in Arapahoe, Douglas and south Jefferson counties grow by offering quality, free, one-on-one consulting and free or low-cost workshops. “We are thrilled to have the city of Au-
rora as our new host center,” said Marcia McGilley, executive director of the South Metro Denver and Aurora SBDCs. “The City of Lone Tree is centrally located and has easy access off of I-25 and C-470 for our south metro area clients. We look forward to building strong relationships with our new hosts and their communities, and we appreciate their desire to work so closely with the SBDC.” Lone Tree Chamber staff members, who will share space with the SBDC, see the joint location as mutually beneficial. “We are very excited about having the Small Business Development Center satellite office in the City of Lone Tree,” said chamber spokeswoman Donna Russell. “Douglas County is the fastest-growing county in Colorado, and one of the fastest-growing areas in the country. I like to say that Lone Tree is the economic hub of Douglas County, and we are certainly centrally located within the south Denver
economic corridor. “The Lone Tree satellite office gives the SBDC a central location in which to assist the new and rapidly growing small business community which is so vital to our economy. This location adds value for our Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce members, as well, so we are very pleased.” Those who haven’t started their business or have been in operation less than a year are urged to take two to four start-up SBDC classes. The classes are offered free at Douglas County Libraries. One-on-one consulting also is available. The South Metro Denver SBDC is one of 14 centers in the Colorado network. In 2013, more than 2,000 clients received one-on-one consulting and training through the South Metro Denver SBDC, with 56 new businesses launched and more than 365 jobs created or retained.

Reasons to feel crowded top 3M Metro-area population likely went past mark in middle of August Staff report The population of the Denver metro area was expected to exceed 3 million last month, according to state estimates. The Colorado Department of Local Affairs uses the month of July to forecast population numbers annually. The department estimated that the Denver metro area’s population on July 1 would have been 2,994,534 and would have passed the 3 million mark in August. Elizabeth Garner, a state demographer, said the average monthly increase in population in the Denver metro area is 3,551, meaning its population reached 3 million
in mid-August. Garner said the growing population can be attributed to a healthy economy in the Denver area. “There is a high correlation between job growth and population change,” she said. “We’re toward the top in the U.S. in terms of recovery and growing jobs.” Garner said population numbers in Larimer and Weld counties are growing at an even faster rate than the Denver metro area, thanks to high job growth in the oil and gas industry there. But other parts of the state, such as the Western Slope and parts of the southeast, are losing residents. Garner said that can be attributed to jobs leaving those parts of the state and not coming back. “If you don’t have a job, it’s hard to stay,” she said.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Don’t let difficult people raise the Crab’s ire levels this week. Avoid them if you can. If not, resist telling them off, even if you think they deserve it. Things improve by week’s end. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Your suspicions about a colleague might be on the mark. But you also could be misreading the signals you believe you’re getting. Do some discreet checking before jumping to conclusions. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Take some time out from your many tasks and see if someone might be trying to reach out to you. You could be surprised to learn who it is and why you might want to reciprocate. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You still might want to do more investigating before taking on a new commitment. Later would not be the time to try to fill in any crucial gaps in what you need to know about it. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A new opportunity should be carefully studied. It might offer some of the things you’ve been looking for. Or it could contain new possibilities you never considered. Check it out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) You might have to work harder this week to get people to listen to what you have to say. But if you stay with it, you could start to get your message out to many by the week’s end. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Although family matters again take up a big chunk of the Goat’s time, the week also offers a chance to explore a new career move you’d been contemplating for a while. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Applying your practicality (what does it offer me?) and your creativity (how can I improve on it?) could provide sound reasons for seriously considering that new offer. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) The single set will find that keeping their romantic aspirations on high gives Cupid a better target to aim at. Paired Pisces will find that this week helps reinforce their relationships. BORN THIS WEEK: You believe in encouraging others to demand the best from themselves. You would be a fine sports coach, as well as an enlightened teacher. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Schools take closer look at turnover District disputes state’s figures, says best teachers are staying By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School District says the Colorado Department of Education’s statistics don’t accurately reflect local teacher turnover. Among the differences: The state measures a different time period than the district, includes charter school teachers and doesn’t account for in-district employee promotions or transfers, temporary employees or retirees. Those factors add up to a difference of almost 200 teachers, with CDE showing teacher turnover of 555 during the last year compared to DCSD’s tally of 362, according to a Sept. 2 report presented to the school board by its human resources staff. In 2013-14, the school district’s figures show 13.1 percent of licensed staff left the district. CDE recorded the district’s teacher turnover at 17.3 percent. State figures for 2013-14 showed DCSD teacher turnover up 4 percent from 2012-13. The most recent CDE statistics placed the district’s teacher turnover higher than those of most surrounding and similar districts, close to the state’s average of 16.6 percent. School board president Kevin Larsen criticized the CDE’s method of assessing turnover. “It’s not helpful when the state department that’s in charge of measuring these things chooses to do something that’s easy, but completely irrelevant,” he said.
Board member Craig Richardson suggested alerting the CDE about their concerns, saying it’s tough to do “an apples-to-apples comparison” with other districts. “Our usual antagonists will say there are other districts that have the same phenomena and therefore it washes out, but we just don’t know that … if we’re the exception in terms of rate of turnover, or we’re not,” he said. “No one’s in a position other than the department to get the detail from the districts. I think we should have a conversation with our friends on the board to see if they could ask some questions as to why this can’t be better.” CDE staff said Denver Public Schools also has expressed concerns. “Additional clarification has been requested for the report, which is planned to be added later this month,” according to an emailed response from CDE spokeswoman Megan McDermott. “Additional clarification includes how the turnover rate is calculated as well as (that) the headcounts used are as of Dec. 1 of the school year.” The Douglas County district’s staff numbers are taken on July 31 of each year — when a full school year has concluded — and the state’s on Dec. 1 — in the middle of an academic year. But the state’s data-gathering process is not new. “The human resources data collection has been collected as of Dec. 1 since 1999,” McDermott wrote. “The turnover rate report has been created with the same method since 2000.” Cherry Creek School District, whose staterecorded 2013-14 teacher turnover is 11.67 percent, doesn’t have concerns about the
‘It’s not helpful when the state department that’s in charge of measuring these things chooses to do something that’s easy, but completely irrelevant.’ School board president Kevin Larsen figures, but said it can be difficult to pinpoint the causes of turnover. “We don’t calculate the data any differently than the CDE, and we have no reason to question the accuracy of the state’s findings,” Cherry Creek spokeswoman Tustin Amole wrote in an email. “I think what is hard to get at is the reasons for teacher turnover. Teachers leave to take other jobs, they leave teaching altogether, they move out of the area. You also have retirements, non-renewals and promotions. We don’t track any of that. “If, however, we saw a trend of higher than average turnover, we would try to dig into the numbers to see why.” Jeffco Public Schools said the staff member most qualified to answer questions about CDE data-gathering was not available for comment.
Diving into the numbers Departing and some current DCSD teachers and some community members have said the board’s reform-driven policy changes are driving teachers out of the district. The district introduced a revamped pay-for-performance and market-based pay plans for its teachers in 2012. It rates teachers on a scale ranging from “highly effective” to “ineffective,” correlating pay with the rating and the degree of difficulty in filling their respective teaching positions. But human resources staff members said their statistics show the best teachers are staying. Most of the district’s turnover is among teachers rated “partially effective” or “ineffective,” human resources staffers told the school board. Among those rated “highly effective,” 94 percent are still with the district, as are about 90 percent of those rated “effective.” “When you look at the overall numbers
and you see a 6 percent turnover for highly effective and 9 percent for effective, (it shows) we are attracting and retaining the right people,” DCSD’s chief human resources officer Brian Cesare said. “But we’re not resting on our laurels. We’re saying, even though the system is working, how can we get better?” Of the licensed staff who left, DCSD concluded 70 percent left for reasons beyond the district’s control, among them career changes, family circumstances, geographic relocations or retirement. Of the remaining 30 percent, categorized as leaving for “controllable” reasons, most said they left to work for another school district. HR staff said it would like to take a “deeper dive” into those numbers. “Folks are always going to be moving around in their careers,” said Becky Hall, a manager in the district’s human resources department. “But the controllable items, those are the ones where we feel we can improve. Out of these numbers, the largest majority went to work for another district. “We’ve recently just re-established our termination reason codes. So that will give us a better picture of why people are leaving to work for another district, of where we need to put our efforts.” Staff also said they could learn more during exit interviews. “We can specifically follow up on that population, even do personal phone calls to get some feedback and make adjustments,” Cesare said. Richardson, the school board member, suggested that work be targeted. “The effort we’re talking about is really focused on those highly effectives and effectives, in terms of understanding the reason for the change,” he said. “I’m not suggesting we go to that same level of effort for everyone who leaves.”

Senate candidates go head-to-head Grand Junction debate features Udall, Gardner By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Although President Barack Obama isn’t on the November ballot this year, he was very much a part of a U.S. Senate race debate that was held in Grand Junction on Sept. 6. The president’s name dominated much of the fall’s first debate between Democratic Sen. Mark Udall and Congressman Cory Gardner, his Republican opponent in a race that is of pivotal political importance nationally. Gardner spent the early part of the debate hammering away at Udall for a voting record that is closely linked to the agenda of the Obama administration, which has long been mired in low approval ratings. Those attacks included Udall’s support
for the Affordable Care Act, Obama’s signature piece of legislation and a law that Gardner focused on much of the debate. “Barack Obama and Mark Udall have put tremendous stress on our country,” Gardner said. But Udall defended his support of Obamacare and said that putting millions more people on health insurance rolls and doing away with insurance companies’ restrictions on pre-existing conditions has been a good thing for the country. The senator also said Obamacare is better than the Republican alternative. “We had a system of health care in this country that discriminated against women and your party has refused to take action,” Udall said. While Gardner tried to tie Obama to Udall throughout the debate, Udall responded toward the end of the debate with an assault on Gardner’s record on women’s issues - something the Udall campaign has been doing since the start of the campaign. Udall blasted Gardner over a congres-
sional record that the senator said has fallen short on issues of importance to women. Udall highlighted Gardner’s previous votes to de-fund Planned Parenthood and Gardner’s prior support for the socalled “personhood” amendment, which would have resulted in an essential ban on abortion. “Why are you getting in between women and their doctors?” Udall said. Gardner responded by pivoting to the economy and its impact on women. He also took issue with Udall’s advertising onslaught against Gardner’s record on women’s issues. “Millions of dollars of his message have simply and only been about social issues,” Gardner said. The two are locked in a tight race that could have an impact on the balance of power in the Senate. Democrats currently hold an edge, but that can change if Republicans flip a handful of seats this fall, including Udall’s. The two candidates also sparred on oth-
er issues, including energy development, social security and gridlock in Washington D.C. Interestingly, the two candidates were not asked about immigration reform — an issue that continues to go nowhere in Congress. Neither Gardner nor Udall asked each other about immigration when they were given the opportunity to ask their own questions toward the end of the debate. Mostly, the debate featured two Washington elected officials attacking each other’s records. After Gardner attacked Udall on issues that included water rights and homeland security, Udall mocked the congressman’s constant assault on his record. “I’m curious what problem facing our nation I haven’t caused,” Udall said to cheers from his supporters. Gardner’s base reacted similarly to the congressman’s response. “Me too.”

Get success down to a tee Whenever we give someone a task or project to complete and we don’t provide them with the right tools, support, environment or expectations, it can be said that we are setting that person or that team up for failure. This happens in the business world just as much as it happens in our personal lives, doesn’t it? We see it happen when we make rash decisions, hire staff without providing the proper onboarding or training, and when we set unrealistic goals. As a matter of fact, setting people up for failure has become so commonplace that we now look at it frivolously or use the failure as the brunt of our jokes and usually at the expense of at least one person or team. Maybe failure has become easier than success. I mean, it’s easy to look into the future and predict what we will never achieve or cannot do as opposed to being forwardthinking and looking at what we can accomplish. And not only what we can accomplish but what our new hires, teammates, friends, and co-workers can achieve. And I think that setting the stage for success can be just as easily done as it is to set someone up for failure, and save us tons of time, money and resources. Have you ever heard it said, “Teed up for success?” The ball is sitting on the tee, no wind, wide open fairway, and it is just so simple to imagine a smooth effortless swing that sends the golf ball soaring beautifully straight down the middle of the fairway. But you see,
the ball landing safely in the middle of the fairway is the result of hard work, practice, coaching and commitment. And whether we are talking about the professional golfer or the weekend amateur, when we think about being “teed up for success” we have to remember what that actually means and the hard work and dedication it took to get there. Imagine just the opposite, we invite a friend or associate to a round of golf, they share with us they have never played before or it has actually been years since they have even swung a golf club. But since we really want to play and we need someone to round out our foursome we tell them not to worry, all will be well and we will just have fun. And then what do we do, we tell our friend, and maybe now former friend, that we are teeing off from the back tees, we have them using rented or borrowed clubs, and we forgot to tell them to bring enough golf balls. Fast-forward to the sixth hole and our once-a-summer golfing friend is completely frustrated and maybe even embarrassed, he
Words turn to mush when dog gets me going Smitty is on his dog bed next to me, sleeping. He is sleeping and making little woofs. I don’t know — I wish I did — what he is dreaming about. He might be dreaming about Miss October (Dachshund Edition) or the rabbit in the front yard who always gets away from him. Smitty wags his tail in his sleep. I suppress the word “cute,” but it’s cute. I admit it: Smitty softens my edges. Sometimes when I read the newspaper, I touch Smitty with my left hand. I guess I am hoping that his good energy will cancel some of the bad energy that comes out of the daily news. Smitty is my shadow. He follows me everywhere I go, but he pouts when I paint, and goes to the couch. This is starting to sound a little buttery. That’s what our pets do to us. I think it is very clear by now that he is glued to me and I am glued to him. Smitty was my father’s nickname and it was mine, when I was in high school. No one calls me Smitty anymore. Thankfully.
I try to write a column about him every six weeks. I feel better when I am writing about him. It seems like the rest of the time I am a humbug about something. My own constant drone of negative reporting gets to me. Unfortunately, I am good at it — making comments about disturbing human behavior. Like the maltreatment of women and children. And animals. “CEO loses job after kicking puppy.” Marshall continues on Page 9
or she is dreading the back nine, our other golfing buddies are tired of playing a slow round, looking for golf balls after every shot, patience is wearing thin, and now they too are dreading the back nine. Everyone was set up for failure. The very same thing happens in sales, in management, in the chores we give our children, in the homework that is assigned, and in new tasks and projects in companies and organizations all over the world each and every day. And it is so easy to point the finger of “I told you so” instead of taking the time necessary to equip everyone with the proper tools and support, guidance and coaching, and appropriate setting of expectations to set the stage for success instead of failure. Setting good goals, setting stretch goals, keeping them realistic, and taking the time to help others get teed up for success may seem like it could be time-consuming, but I can promise you that it takes far less time and energy when we compare it to the costs of setting people up to fail. Are you teed up for success? Have you set the stage for others to succeed? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when the stage for success has been set, it will be a better than good week.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Think light rail instead of toll lanes I would like to respond to the Christy Steadman article, “CDOT hears public comment on C-470 project,” which was published Aug. 28. Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas county residents approved the building of E-470 back in 1989, with a $10 per vehicle tax. And I bet 90 percent of these people don’t even use E-470. One week before the election, it was rumored that E-470 would be a toll road. I told myself that this was Colorado and we don’t have toll roads here and that would not happen. Well I was wrong! Don’t try to make C-470 between Wadsworth and I-25 have toll lanes. Instead, use that money to build light rail. If you build light rail, they will come! Also, make sure the light rail line can handle doubledecker rail cars. Think to the future. This way C-470 light rail users can connect to the I-25/I-225/DIA light rail and not have to go downtown via light rail to get to DIA. Ronald Nigh Highlands Ranch

maintenance issues. City staffers want the plan to consider cyclist safety a top priority. “Wherever possible, we’ve asked them to look at protected bike lanes (that are) somehow separated from the travel lanes,” public works director John Cotten said. “In almost all cases, that’s going to mean modifying the street.

governor’s decision last year to grant a temporary reprieve to Nathan Dunlap, the death row inmate who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993. “Yes or no, will you assure the people here tonight … that you will not grant clemency to Nathan Dunlap?” Beauprez asked. Hickenlooper — who once supported the death penalty, but who recently said he no longer does — said he has “no plans to revisit my decision and my decision stands.” “Government shouldn’t be in the business of taking people’s lives,” Hickenlooper said. Meanwhile, Hickenlooper turned the tables on Beauprez on another issue that the former congressman has used to criticize the governor — fracking. Hickenlooper touted his work on reaching a compromise on local control issues surrounding oil and gas drilling. The compromise kept anti-fracking measures from appearing on the November ballot — a result Beauprez had also wanted. “You said you wanted the ballot measures off the ballot and I did that, so can

Desmond Hague, CEO of a catering company, lost his job after nearly 193,000 signatures demanded it, after he kicked a Doberman pinscher puppy. It was captured in a video. I tried to watch the video and couldn’t. The shape of the puppy’s head reminded me too much of Smitty’s. Hague apologized. I’ve decided that the newspaper needs an apology section. Everyone is apologizing to someone. “I’d like to apologize to my team, the organization, our fans, and the city of Baltimore. This is not who I am.” But it is. We fail. We fail all of the time. In the moment, we are pushed to an edge that betrays us, and everything is on film these days. Ravens running back Ray Rice punched his girlfriend in the face. There’s a video. Rice, initially given a two-game suspension, has since been cut by the team and suspended indefinitely by the NFL. Broncos punter Matt Prater drank beer in his home. Prater was suspended for four
bicyclists in the traffic lanes if we can help that.” The city hasn’t made any decision about how to finance new trails, added bike lanes or sidewalks, but city staff said they’re firmly behind not just the creation of the plan, but bringing its suggestions to fruition. “We really tried to make sure this is a very implementable plan,” Cotten said. “Pedestrian travel, with a few exceptions, is not that hard in Lone Tree. It’s the biking that’s difficult. Council is very committed to trying to get something done to significantly improve that.”
I count on your vote?” Hickenlooper said. Beauprez offered an icy response. “I think you know the answer to that,” he said. Hickenlooper is pro-fracking, but has also guided tough regulations on the oil and gas industry that aim to limit potential environmental and health impacts of drilling. Beauprez said those regulations are only hurting an industry that pumps millions of dollars into the state. “Other states are more open for business for energy development and that’s where the jobs are going,” Beauprez said. The two candidates also shared sharp exchanges on economic issues. Hickenlooper highlighted an economy that has improved under his watch, one that has resulted in 33 months of consecutive job growth and an unemployment rate that continues to drop. But Beauprez said that the economy would be in a lot better shape if the government simply stayed out of the way of business. Beauprez said state regulations are largely responsible for that. Beauprez also blasted federal regulations and the Affordable Care Act. That led to criticism from Hickenlooper for focusing on issues that are handled at the congressional level. “Maybe you should be running for Congress if you want to go back and tackle the federal issues,” Hickenlooper said.
games prior to Rice’s lengthier punishment. It worries me to think what kind of a man I would be if it hadn’t been for Badger and Smitty. I bought Badger when she was six weeks old. She weighed about as much as a russet potato. Smitty was 5 when I adopted him, and he already had a suspended personality. I know that if Smitty — and Jennifer — weren’t in my life that I wouldn’t be worth reading. I would be dark and cranky all of the time. I get more emails after I write about Smitty than about anything else. No one ever says that I am too obsessed. But I know. Hague said, “I am ashamed and deeply embarrassed.” We spend billions of dollars a year on our pets. Some pets are treated better than children are treated. Smitty will be 11 next month. Badger was 15 when she died. Smits is full of pep, he has great veterinarian care, a healthy diet and we go for two, three or four short walks a day. See? I could never be a field journalist. Smitty wouldn’t be allowed to go with me. He is my other heartbeat. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

Mayor Jim Gunning said acquiring right-of-way to create bike lanes may involve “a capital investment decision for council.” “I think it’s great we’re doing this,” he said. “It’s certainly an item of significant interest to a lot of the residents.” “We’ve known for quite some time we needed something like this,” agreed council member Harold Anderson. “We have a lot of pedestrians in town, but for the most part they seem to get along better than the bicyclists do because they’ve got the sidewalk.” Planners are looking not only at the
existing network of Lone Tree streets, but future development on RidgeGate’s fouracre property east of Interstate 25. The plan will propose design standards to ensure streets there take pedestrians and bicyclists into consideration “from day one,” said planner Charlie Alexander of Fehr & Peers Transportation Consultants. The document won’t ignore drivers either. “Projects like this tend to be about making decisions that involve trade-offs,” Alexander said, noting driver safety and convenience is factored into any proposal. “We’re trying to strike that right balance.”
Firefighters mark 60 years of Filling the Boot Staff report Fire chiefs from throughout the metro area came together in Centennial to mark 60 years of filling the boot for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Members of the South Metro Fire Rescue Authority and the Colorado Professional Fire Fighters, along with the Muscular Dystrophy Association, attended an event Aug. 29 at South Metro’s headquarters, 9195 E. Mineral Ave., to celebrate their 60-year partnership and kick off the fire fighters’ annual “Fill the Boot” fundraising campaign to benefit children and adults affected by muscle disease throughout Colorado. “Firefighters do more for MDA and the families we serve than any other group,” said Sabrina Allen, executive director MDA Rocky Mountain District. “In Colorado, they spend countless hours every year participating in Fill the Boot drives and at MDA Summer Camp. “We’re grateful for the support of these inspiring, selfless individuals who have made a profound impact on our families’ health, well-being and quality of life.” More than 100 fire departments in Colorado were expected to fan out across the state with boots in hand over Labor Day weekend. Funds raised through the 2014 Fill the Boot events will help support
MDA’s programs of worldwide research, specialized health care services, and dayto-day support — which includes sending children affected by muscular dystrophy and related diseases to a weeklong, barrier-free MDA summer camp at Easter Seal’s Rocky Mountain Village in Empire, CO. As the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s largest national sponsor, the International Association of Fire Fighters fuels MDA’s mission to find treatments and cures for life-threatening muscle diseases. In 2013, more than 100,000 firefighters participated in Fill the Boot events across the country and raised $26.2 million. To date the IAFF has raised $530 million for MDA. Guests included Colorado Professional Fire Fighters President Mike Rogers, Colorado Professional Fire Fighters Legislative and Political Affairs Coordinator Dennis Eulberg, South Metro Fire Chief Dan Qualman, Adams County Fire Chief Pat Laurienti, Denver Fire Special Operations Assistant Chief CJ Haberkorn, IAFF Local 2196 President Mark Dzengelewski, Arvada Fire MDA Coordinator Tim McChesney, Elk Creek Fire MDA Coordinator Vince Van Binsbergen, South Metro Fire MDA Coordinator Jeremy Cook and several families living with muscle diseases.

Dementia seminar coming to Lone Tree Free event will be held at arts center By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com Dementia is a condition that eventually touches everyone in some way. “Fifty percent of those over 85 will develop some form of dementia,” said David Geras, CEO of Denver’s GoldLeaf Care Givers. “Unless we find a cure, the other half of us will be caregivers.” The impact of the disease is the focus of the free “Understanding Dementia” seminar set for 8 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. Sept. 27 at the Lone Tree Arts Center. Designed for all ages, the morning session will offer insight on dementia and all its forms, as well as recent medical breakthroughs and research into Alzheimer’s disease. MorningStar Senior Living, the company currently building senior living centers in Lone Tree, Parker and Castle Rock, will provide breakfast for the event, coordinated by the Living and Aging Well in Lone Tree committee. Speakers include Dr. Huntington Potter of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Center and Natalie Grace of Lakewood-based Azura Memory Care. Geras will introduce the speakers. “Alzheimer’s is becoming a pandemic in this country and the world,” he said. “It’s the only cause of death in the top 10 (causes) that is not treatable, reversible, curable or preventable. You can take care of heart disease or diabetes, but Alzheimer’s? There’s no cure.” Dementia is a general term for loss of memory and other mental abilities severe enough to interfere with daily life.
According to the Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s is the most common type of dementia, accounting for an estimated 60 to 80 percent of all cases. Geras not only works with seniors but has family members impacted by Alzheimer’s and dementia. “The reason it’s becoming more prevalent in our society is because we’re living a lot longer,” he said. “Also, our lifestyle and environment is probably not causing it directly, but leads to faster, quicker onset of the disease.” Potter One of the speakers, Potter, has discovered a genetic link between AlWe are community. zheimer’s and Down syndrome. He’s also studying the potential medical applications of a protein released in those with rheumatoid arthritis; sufferers of that form of arthritis don’t develop Alzheimer’s. “If he’s successful, there will be a version of Leukine on the market to treat Alzheimer’s; it’ll be the first drug ever to improve symptoms of Alzheimer’s,” Geras said. About 90 people already have reserved seats for the seminar, which can accommodate about 175. Given the broad impact of dementia, the Living and Aging Well committee expects a full house for the free event. “Dementia affects all kinds of people,” said committee member Sharon Van Ramshorst. “It’s something that really disrupts families, and is very difficult to understand and deal with.” The committee, formed in early 2012, coordinates monthly speakers and lunches at the Lone Tree Golf Club. An estimated 25 percent of Lone Tree’s population will be 55 and older by 2017. To RSVP for the seminar, call 303-2254930. Your Community Connector to Boundless Rewards

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper has raised more than four times as much money as former Congressman Bob Beauprez in the two rivals’ gubernatorial campaign dash for cash, eclipsing $4 million to Beauprez’s haul of about $828,000., according to the latest financial disclosures. Hickenlooper’s cash advantage was helped by the $545,791 that was donated to his campaign during the reporting period of July 27 through Aug. 27 — the incumbent governor’s largest single-month haul. Beauprez raised $223,510 during the re-
cent reporting period. Hickenlooper campaign spokesman Eddie Stern attributes the fundraising success to an economy that is gaining steam, thanks to lower unemployment and 33 consecutive months of job growth. “We are humbled by the amount of support we’ve received from people across Colorado,” said Stern. Beauprez campaign spokesman Allen Fuller isn’t impressed with Hickenlooper’s cash haul. “Every day it seems like there’s another example of why John Hickenlooper isn’t fit to lead Colorado,” Fuller said. “He’s going to need every dime he can get.”

City dedicates two sculptures for arts center Donated pieces among a collection that will find homes in Lone Tree By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com Sheri Bernal was shocked when she saw a piece of her donated art work standing tall near the RidgeGate Parkway and Common Street roundabout. “I was driving to the office and even though I was sitting down, I felt like I about fell out of my chair,” said Bernal, a parttime Lone Tree resident. “It really caught me off guard.” What stunned Bernal so was the sight of “Counterpoise,” an approximately 14-foottall metal and granite abstract sculpture created by artist Mark Stasz and recently placed near the Lone Tree Arts Center. The city dedicated “Counterpoise” and “In Balance” — another large, metal abstract sculpture whose creator is not known — during a Sept. 4 ceremony. “In Balance” is positioned near the entrance to the Terrace Theater on the center’s north side. Bernal and her husband donated the two large works and 20 other pieces to the City of Lone Tree. They were among a col-

lection already on a Black Forest home site when the couple purchased it in 2011. The $23-million, voter-approved arts center opened in August 2011 to immediate success, but with no money left for outside artwork. “It’s always been the intention that we have public art displayed outside of the art center,” LTAC executive director Lisa Rigsby Peterson said. “And I think the two donated sculptures take their place alongside the rotating Douglas County Art Encounters pieces we have on the south side of the building to really add interest to the site, and hopefully intrigue people about what’s happening inside the building.” The Art Encounters program allows jurisdictions to borrow sculptures for a year. City arts committee members still are discussing and negotiating placement of the remaining pieces. Pieces likely will be placed at Sky Ridge Medical Center, Park Meadows shopping center, and the Lone Tree branch of Douglas County libraries among other sites. Bernal, who owns a home in RidgeGate, is delighted to see the artwork in its new home. “It’s just fun and a pleasure to see it,” she said. “I’m so thrilled they’re going to be all over the community.” The total appraised retail value of the collection, which includes work from a variety of artists, is about $80,000.

40,000 bees removed from home 30 pounds of honey produced in three months at Highlands Ranch residence By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Front Range has healthy bees, said beekeeper Gregg McMahan. On Sept. 2, McMahan removed about 40,000 bees from a home in the 4300 block of Lyndenwood Point in Highlands Ranch. The bees most likely decided to make the Highlands Ranch residence their home about three months ago, McMahan said, because it typically takes them about three to four months to establish a colony where they’ll survive the winter. “It was just a perfect little home for them,” McMahan said. “And they took advantage of it.” During their stay in Highlands Ranch, the bees produced around 30 pounds of honey, he said.
It is not uncommon for people to discover that a colony of bees has taken up residence on a person’s property, but to avoid the problem, McMahan said to make sure the house is properly sealed and painted. He also said to be aware of any rotten trim board where bees may be able to gain access to a spot where they can colonize. At the Highlands Ranch residence, it took McMahan about four hours to complete the removal process. He vacuumed them out alive, he said, and then removed the brood comb — the beeswax structure of cells where the queen bee lays eggs — and the honeycomb. The queen bee and the babies were also removed. McMahan said a few bees might have been missed during the removal, but the homeowner will not have any problems with the bees returning and rebuilding their colony. “It takes all the bees to establish a colony,” he said. Although they will not be released back into the wild, McMahan relocated the bees to a new beehive, a nursery of sorts, where
These bees were photographed outside an office building off of Highlands Ranch Parkway Sept. 5, three days after 40,000 honeybees were removed from a home in Highlands Ranch. Photo by Christy Steadman he is trying to get them to reestablish, he said.
“Then I’ll be taking them to let them do what they do naturally,” he said.
Former SSPR facility could house duplexes Some in Southbridge would rather have a new park By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Those who were hoping South Suburban Parks and Recreation would turn its vacated maintenance facility in Southbridge into a park are out of luck. “South Suburban has absolutely no interest in developing the site as a park,” writes Dave Lorenz, executive director, in a letter to Stoneridge Homes, which is proposing to build duplexes on the site. “… I have expressed our opinion to the local homeowners association representatives, who have called on several occasions over
the past couple years.” Stoneridge Homes wants to buy the three-acre site northwest of Broadway and Jamison Avenue, which some have complained has become an eyesore in the three years it’s been empty. With a total of 38 units, the proposal is for about 13 units per acre — about the same as three neighboring townhome developments. They would be for sale, ranging from about $300,000 to $350,000. The two-story units would be 1,500 to 1,900 square feet, with heights capped at 30 feet, less than the townhomes next door. Nevertheless, some residents in those townhomes aren’t happy. “Their property would be looming over ours, depriving our residents of privacy and sunlight,” said Martin Kaye. Concerns stated by Kaye and three of
his neighbors include density, open space, traffic, retaining walls and drainage. Stonebridge is negotiating with the townhome association for an easement to run water from its property to a water main. “They’re wanting to tie into our water, and I think we’re all a little upset about that,” said Kathleen Swanson. “And there will be no place to walk their dogs, and no place for children to play.” Lorenz says the area is well served with plenty of open space, including Horseshoe Park and the Lee Gulch and High Line Canal trails. “We are very supportive of your proposed plans for development of the site,” he wrote. “We believe it to be a good land use with the city of Littleton.” There will be a public hearing in front of city council on Sept. 16 before the final
vote is cast. The planning board narrowly recommended approval on Aug. 25, by a 4-3 vote. Board member Mark Rudnicki was particularly less than pleased with the design of the project, calling it tedious and low quality. “It’s basically footprint, footprint, footprint and driveway,” he said. Gary Wanger, president of Stoneridge, begs to differ. “With this new residential development, the general public will be benefiting from the first new construction in this south neighborhood in over 10 years,” he writes in his letter of intent. “With new design and improved energy efficiency in these homes, potential buyers will be enjoying a lifestyle that is not available in some of the older, dated communities.”

Another Arapahoe security guard speaks out Erbacher-Kolk says she’s on leave; sheriff says investigation complete By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com A second security guard who was working at Arapahoe High School on Dec. 13 of last year, the day student Karl Pierson killed himself and Claire Davis, says she has been placed on leave, and the news has caused many on social media to wonder what is going on behind the scenes. “I wanted everyone to know that I truly love all the students and staff at Arapahoe,” writes Christina Erbacher-Kolk in a Facebook post dated Sept. 2. “I have now been put on leave for breaking a protocol? Yet they can’t tell me what protocol I violated. The treatment seems similar to a colleague of mine Cameron Rust back in January, who criticized (Littleton Public Schools) administration for the way it handled the shooting incident.” Rust did not return to the school despite protests from the students. Erbacher-Kolk spoke on his behalf in February, telling the LPS board of education that bringing him back would bring some closure. “I cannot tell you how much he means to those kids,” she said. “Where do these kids turn to when they need that person to heal?” Now, many are coming to her defense on Facebook. “Christina you are by far my favorite staff member of LPS,” writes one student. “You were there for me for both school and personal life questions. You have given me some amazing advice when I was dealing with tough situations. I always looked forward to talking to you during my second hour off. I look up to both you and Cameron for speaking up about the incident at the risk of your employment. There (are) not many people who are willing to speak up for their beliefs.” Others are expressing distrust of the ad-
Multiple law enforcement and fire agencies responded to Arapahoe High School on Dec. 13, 2013, after student Karl Pierson shot classmate Claire Davis then himself. Almost nine months later, the official report of the incident has not been released. File photo ministration in light of the fact that nine months after the incident, neither the district nor the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office have released any findings. On Sept. 5, Sheriff David Walcher said in an email that the investigation is complete and “we are working on finalizing a release of information.” “I have felt all along that the administration is doing everything they can to eliminate the truth about the events,” wrote Vicki Hoffman, who said she is the mother of a former AHS student. “I am sorry to hear of what has now happened to
you, albeit not surprised. Unfortunately so many parents want to believe that everything is being handled that they don’t like the criticism that some of us have voiced our concerns about. The bullying by others (has) forced them to be silenced.” Erbacher-Kolk herself makes some serious allegations in her post. “We told the administration that a student was looking up guns on the computer after he had been the subject of a threat assessment about threatening a staff member’s life,” she wrote. “We were told that there was nothing they could do, but
to watch this individual. Administration stated, ‘We all know that this student will go off the deep end. It just will not happen at Arapahoe.’ ” She claims security cameras and locks on doors weren’t working properly at the school before the murder and still aren’t, and that behavior issues aren’t being accurately characterized or properly documented. On Sept. 8, a Littleton Public Schools spokeswoman said the district would likely have a response within “the next day or so.”

‘CITYSCAPES’ Town Hall exhibit has urban look By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Town Hall Arts Center’s exhibit coordinator, Nancy Boyson, is trying to plan exhibits for the Littleton venue’s Stanton Gallery that relate to what’s playing upstairs in the theater. In this case, the musical is “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” and she thought a city/architectural theme would work. Painters Elayne Moseley, Alan Zeigel and Sue Fraley open a show called “The Art of Cityscapes” on Sept. 11, running through Nov. 5. Moseley exhibits work from her “Architectural Lingua” series, including the view of Denver’s Golden Triangle, painted en plein air while seated outside.
as art
She works in oil paint with traditional brushes on stretched canvas. She thinks “one’s artwork must reflect that journey that the artist takes and express it in such a way that the viewer feels the artist’s passion.” She teaches drawing at the Art Students League of Denver and works in her home studio as well as outdoors. Alan Zeigel was trained in watercolor while a student in architecture at CU/Boulder. He lived in France and traveled in Europe, Asia and South America. He was a founder of OZ Architecture with Tom Obermeier, then returned to watercolor, studying at the Art Students League of Denver. He is a Signature member of the Colorado Watercolor Society and exhibits at Bell Gallery. Sue Fraley said her interest in painting urban scenes began after a visit to Zihuatanejo, a small fishing village on the west coast of Mexico, with luminous white and pastel buildings.
IF YOU GO Stanton Gallery is located in Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., Littleton. The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and during performances. “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” runs Sept. 12 through Oct. 12. 303794-2787, townhallartscenter.org. When she got home, she painted a number of works from her photographs. She then began to explore Denver’s architecture. She works in oil and paints outdoors on many days. For 25 years, she worked as an architectural drafter and bases most of her paintings on street scenes in downtown Denver. She is a member of the Art Students League of Denver and participates in the annual Summer Art Market there.
It sounded like a match made in Republican heaven when Monica Owens, daughter of former Gov. Bill Owens and ex-wife Frances, and John Beauprez, professional poker player and marketing specialist and son of governor wannabe Bob Beauprez and wife Claudia, got engaged on the Fourth of July. And if the upcoming gubernatorial election goes their way, Monica could have the distinction of being the daughter and daughter-in-law of two Colorado governors. The cute couple celebrated their engagement among friends and family on Aug. 30. On her Facebook page, Monica said that as of Aug. 28, the wedding was exactly six months away. Monica, a Republican pundit and owner of Owens Public Affairs, and John, who’s all over social media for his poker prowess, found each other when John’s mom, Claudia, strategically seated the young’uns next to each other at a black-tie dinner. And just in case you want to give the betrothed a wedding gift, they are registered at www.registry.theknot.com/monica-owensjohn-beauprez-february-2015/9018648.

Kevin Taylor comes to Aurora
Denver’s Kevin Taylor Restaurant Group, helmed by renowned chef Kevin Taylor, will open a new restaurant and beer hall in the recently announced development Stanley Marketplace at 2501 Dallas St. in Aurora, just a few feet from the southern border of Stapleton. Unlike Taylor’s other Denver restaurants, which include Palettes at the Denver Art Museum, Kevin Taylor’s at the Opera House and Limelight Supper Club & Lounge, this restaurant and beer hall will exist in a casual industrial atmosphere, highlighting the architecture of the former Stanley Aviation Building, where airplane ejector seats were manufactured for roughly 50 years. The menu will offer items made with locally sourced produce, as well as craft beer and local wines and spirits. “I’m excited to move forward with our next venture in a different way,” said Taylor. “Approachable restaurants are the future, and I believe we can provide the level of cuisine for which we’re known, but in a way that is appealing to everyone, and fits within Stanley, and the surrounding community, perfectly.”

Colorado Ballet gets home of its own Renovated warehouse stands at north end of arts district By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com For the first time in its 54-year history, the Colorado Ballet owns its home. The organization recently left its longtime location at 13th and Lincoln (owned by the State Land Board) and moved into 1075 Santa Fe Drive, a former warehouse. A capital campaign raised funds for the $6.5 million facility. It was transformed into 30,000 square feet of renovated space, tailored to the ballet company’s needs by Semple Brown Design. The firm also designed the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, where Colorado Ballet dancers perform regularly (as well as at the Newman Center). The new facility, which houses the professional company and the Colorado Ballet Academy, features seven studios and a Black Box Theater, which also serves as a studio with theatrical lighting. Here the company can expand outreach to its new neighbors and people with disabilities — and offer small performances in the theater, according to artistic director Gil Boggs. Expect student performances in the
Colorado Ballet has moved into its new home at 1075 Santa Fe Drive, designed by Semple Brown Architecture. Photo by David Lauer Black Box Theater on First Fridays, for example. “The search for a new space for the Colorado Ballet has been our priority for nearly a decade, thus the opportunity to turn a quiet structure in Santa Fe Drive into a theatrical showcase for the dancers and organization has truly been an honor,”
Boggs said. In addition to providing the organization with a permanent home, the location is a new anchor at the north end of the thriving arts district. The company begins an expanded season on Sept. 26 with a production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the Ellie
Caulkins Opera House, followed by “Dracula” from Oct. 31-Nov. 2 and “The Nutcracker” from Nov. 26 to Dec. 27. In 2015, programs will include “Ballet Masterworks” and “Peter and the Wolf.” Tickets: coloradoballet.org or 303-837-8888, ext. 2. The organization presents more than 50 performances annually.

Avoiding that unhealthy glow Products offer tan skin without risky UV rays By Melanie Fischer
Special to Colorado Community Media As summer ends and autumn begins, temperatures throughout Colorado begin to fall, and soon long-sleeve shirts, pants, sweaters and jackets become everyone’s clothing items of choice. As a result, the tan you worked so hard to achieve during the warm summer months will be virtually invisible because it will be hidden under layers of clothing. Knowing this, is it really worthwhile to maintain your tan during Colorado’s cold months? Nobody’s going to see it anyway, right? It’s almost impossible to naturally sustain tan skin during the fall, winter and spring in Colorado. The weather is simply too cold to lie outside on a beach chair in
a bathing suit, slathered in tanning oil, from September through May. But despite the fact that outdoor tanning is not an option in Colorado for many months out of the year, people often opt for other tanning methods so they can maintain their golden-toned skin year round. However, it’s important to keep in mind that some types of tanning mechanisms are much safer than others. Earlier this year, the federal Food and Drug Administration issued a final order that reclassified sunlamp products (which include tanning beds) as “moderate-risk” devices. Also, the FDA is now requiring that a highly visible warning label be placed on all sunlamp products. The warning label will specifically state that nobody under the age of 18 should use any type of sunlamp due to the risk to the user’s health. With their new FDA classification, it’s highly possible that the popularity of tanning beds will drop significantly for people of all ages. So what are your
other choices? If achieving tan skin is a top priority for you, even when the weather is cold, your goal is entirely possible. And you can even attain golden-toned skin while avoiding potentially harmful tanning salons, sunlamps, and other damaging ultraviolet radiation exposure. Here are three of the most popular sunless tanning methods that don’t involve exposure to dangerous radiation: The first option is spray tanning. It’s possible to spray-tan your entire body to achieve any level of golden-toned skin that you desire (from light to dark). You can apply a spray tan yourself, or you can opt for a professional application. Another option is tanning towels. Many
SEPT. 19 & 20
beauty brands manufacture these products. The towels are pre-soaked with a sunless tanning product that can be easily applied to your face, legs, or entire body. Finally, there is sunless tanning lotion. This product is easy to use. Simply purchase a bottle (which is relatively inexpensive), and rub it into your skin. Most brands of sunless tanning lotion begin tanning your skin on contact. You can use as little or as much as you want, depending on the skin tone you desire. If you want to keep your skin tan, look into these methods to achieve your goal safely. You can have skin that is tan-looking all year round without the risk involved with UV exposure.

Littleton bear artist heads for top show Hugglets festival in London isn’t kid stuff By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Early on the morning of Sept. 14, a line will form outside the Kensington Town Hall on Hornton Street in London (by Kensington Gardens). These individuals hope to be among the first to enter the Hugglets Teddy Bear Festival — three floors of booths in four halls — featuring 170 teddy bear artists and vendors of related items. The choice bears sell fast. The organizers promise that there will be over 10,000 teddy bears available to collectors. The bears are not kids’ toys — they are pricey collector treasures, beloved worldwide. Among the exhibitors from Britain and around the world will be bear artist Michelle Lamb of Littleton, who will bring the newest creations from her business, One and Only Bears. She will exhibit about 15-20 oneof-a-kind meticulously detailed Bear artist Michelle Lamb of Littleton will show her bears (large and latest collection of bears at the Hugglets Teddy Bear miniature), rabFair in London. Courtesy photo bits and a squirrel. Some wear beautifully made costumes and all have carefully sculpted mouths, eyes, ears and noses that give them a distinct personality. She speaks of her art as “soft sculpture.” Included: a red, white and blue drummer named Britain and a tall pink mohair rabbit — reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland’s perpetually late friend. The latter has a starched collar and leans against a small trellis with flowers. Dark gray mohair “Argenta” has a greenish cast and sports a green ruff and skirt, plus a hat of felt flowers. “Arabella,” dressed in elaborate frock and hat, was displeasing her maker when we visited: The eyes didn’t “look right.” Eyes were also an issue with a tiny white “Troubadour” bear, but we are certain proper adjustments were made be-

“Britain” a custom teddy bear, made especially for the Hugglets Fair, will be in Michelle Lamb’s display. Photo by Sonya Ellingboe fore their travels began. Lamb departed a week early for a special teddy bear tea at a shop in Aberdeen, Scotland, called Silly Bear. (“Winnie-thePooh” fans will recall Christopher Robin’s affectionate “silly old bear” expression.) Lamb had previously shipped 10 bears for this collectors’ event. While at Hugglets, Lamb will teach a class in needle sculpting and shaping a bear’s head and mouth — her specialty. Participants will bring a pre-cut and filled bear head with them. Sometimes when she teaches, she supplies patterns for her students. And she will work with two students from abroad after she returns to Denver, she said. She hopes all her bears will sell early — although they will remain on display through the day. Then she can shop. She buys her special mohair at these shows — much of it comes from Germany, the home of the famous Steiff teddy bears. She also prowls resale stores continually for old mohair coats, but not so many are available any more. She may also locate odd jewelry, buttons, bits of ribbons, lace and fabric
that go into her collection of treasures — slated to reappear later on new bears. (A visit to her studio summons up an image of an old curiosity cabinet.) Lamb said she was working in design and was laid off when her first baby was born. She started crafts and made “craft-quality bears” and other items. In 2000, One and Only Bears came to life as she learned what was involved in making an “artist-quality” bear. Her website speaks of her involvement in this highly specialized universe: “The ability to create beauty from such disparate parts as fabric, hardware, glass and fluffy filler remains a constant wonder to me and my goal is for this same wonder to come across in the faces of my teddy bears. They are individually designed to have their own unique personality and I spend as much time as necessary to needle and sculpt a face until its `soul’ comes out and speaks to me …” She finishes one to two bears a week, which makes it hard to keep up with demand.

Winterizing gives gardens a boost Simple steps smooth way for next year’s harvest By Heather Ridge
Special to Colorado Community Media When seed catalogs come out in the early spring, eager gardeners can be spotted trudging through the snow to plan out where they’ll plant their zucchini and zinnias. And after a long, hot August of weeding and watering, many gardeners pick their final harvest and let the cooling temperatures and first blanket of frost lull their garden to sleep for the season. Here in Colorado, however, putting a garden to bed properly for the winter can be just as important as waking it up in the spring. A few simple steps taken this autumn can lead to an easier, more bountiful harvest next year.
Clean up
While leaving a bit of stubble from harvested crops is becoming more common in field crops to prevent soil erosion, it causes more harm than good in a home garden. Pests and diseases, such as aphids and powdery mildew, are able to winter over in Colorado as eggs and spores, and leaving old tomato plants and squash stems in your garden beds give them a place to wait out the winter months under the snow. After the first frosts, pull out all your leftover crop material and throw it on the compost pile. The exception to this is any bean or pea plants. Legumes — members of the Fabaceae family — are able to add necessary nitrogen to the soil using a symbiotic relationship with soil bacteria around their roots. Snip these off at the soil level and leave the roots and their helpful bacteria in the ground for next spring.
Add compost As your garden grows, plants take up nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium in large quantities, along with smaller amounts of other micronutrients such as magnesium and iron. Different plants need different amounts of these essential elements, which is why it’s a good idea to rotate crops from year to year between heavy feeders, such as garden greens and tomatoes, and lighter feeders like beets and other root crops. Adding compost to the top of your garden beds each year is a great way to make nutrients more available for all crops. A 3-inch layer laid down in the fall will break down slowly over the winter and improve both fertility and water-holding capabilities for plant roots later on. Spreading compost in the fall rather than the spring means fresh compost will not “burn” tender seedlings with high levels of ammonia.
Use mulch Many people think mulch is only for perennial beds and under trees, but a heavy layer of leaves or grass clippings on top of your composted beds will hold in moisture, keep temperature more constant and prevent weed seeds from taking hold in your vegetable garden as well. Rather than bagging them, spread fallen leaves thickly onto your beds and let them sit through the winter. They will not break down much but will be easy to rake back in a thick layer and compost in the spring, exposing warmer and more nutrient-rich soil for planting in March. Not only will this method protect your garden soil, it will save your back from all the bagging and raking and give you time to sit back and enjoy your bountiful back yard.
Hard-boiled play on Lakewood stage ‘A Steady Rain’ stays with theater’s ‘edgy’ approach By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorad communitymedia.com The audience is surrounded by grimy alleys and a fenced junkyard at The Edge Theater for a theater-in-the-round production of “A Steady Rain.” Lights are low except for spots on the two cops — buddies since childhood — who guide us on a downward path as they work their beat. The furnishings consist of three metal stools. Lighting is effective and tense background music floats through the grungy alleys. Two strong actors, Rick Yaconis (Denny) and Scott Bellot (Joey), tell their stories with a Chicago streettalk flavor as they discuss the pimps, prostitutes, thieves, a serial killer and others who cross their paths while they patrol the rough neighborhood where they grew up. Both have been passed over for promotion to detective several times, due to racist talk and other problems. Denny is married, with kids, and is proud of being a family man — although he has a side interest. Joey is a lonely bachelor who drinks too much — and has dinner with Denny and family often.

IF YOU GO “A Steady Rain” runs through Sept. 28 at The Edge Theater, 1560 Teller St., Lakewood. (Rick Yaconis is Edge executive director and Scott Bellot is resident director.) Performances: 8 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 6 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $24, online at theedgetheater. com or 303-232-0363. A gunshot begins and ends “A Steady Rain” by Keith Huff, which premiered in Chicago in 2007 and ran a stretch of sold-out performances on Broadway in 2009, when Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig inhabited the bodies of Denny and Joey for a few months. The play is a good choice for The Edge Theater as it seeks to present “edgy” works. The initial shot shatters Denny’s living room window, injuring his youngest son and enraging Denny, who starts a hunt for the guy he suspects and heads into a tailspin of drink, drugs and bad behavior. The two make a serious error in judgment one night in the alleys — with dismissal looming for the one determined to be at fault. Tension builds. And, it rains, night after night … in a cruel world. Mature language and story would make this unsuitable for young family members, but offers much to think about — which one seeks from well-done theater.

Opa! Prost! Cheers! European fest brings traditional food, dance, more to Highlands Ranch By Christy Steadman
csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com Vikings were a global force — they raided and traded everywhere. So it’s no surprise they made an appearance at the seventh annual Colorado European Festival, which took place Sept. 6 at Civic Green Park in Highlands Ranch. The Fjellborg Vikings, a living history group, were at the festival to teach people about the age of the Viking, which was 800-1000 A.D., said Fjellborg Vikings member Anya Bowman. Vikings affected all of Europe, she said, and the impact is far-reaching in history and culture. “We’re representing a time of turbulence,” Bowman said, “the early time when Christianity was
coming to Europe. It’s a cool time period.” Along with the fighting demonstrations put on by the Fjellborg Vikings, attendees got to see performances from groups representing 11 different European cultures. Performances on the amphitheater stage at the park included musical concerts, cultural dances and a beauty contest. Several EuropeanAmerican communities were at the festival representing their homeland’s culture, including people from the following countries: Ireland, Scotland, Greece, Spain, Germany, Italy, Britain, France, Russia, Romania, the Ukraine, Sweden, Slovenia, Poland, among others. “We tried to involve all European cultures,” event organizer Lidia Wiggery said. “We just want to bring everyone together.” A main attraction of the festival was the European cuisine and beer garden. People were able to try traditional foods in the form of baked goods,
meats and side dishes. “It’s so people can try something different and enjoy the atmosphere,” Wiggery said.

Beauty comes in all sizes, colors at ArtFest 176 artists put works on display at Castle Rock festival By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Sculptor Fredrick Prescott’s work stood above that of his counterparts at the 25th annual Colorado ArtFest Sept. 6 and 7 in Castle Rock. His outdoor animal sculptures, elephants, buffalos and flamingos literally towered over festivalgoers. “We do a life-sized elephant that weighs about 4,000 pounds,” said Prescott, who heralds from Santa Fe, N.M. “Some of the stuff we do for museums can get pretty tall. We did one that was about 12 feet.” Prescott’s metal sculptures don’t only draw attention, they move too. Each piece is kinetic, using ball bearings to rotate in the wind. “Even on the big one, the head weighs 1,200 pounds, but still sways,” Prescott said. “You can touch it with your finger and that 1,200-pound head will start moving.” The smaller sculptures he had for sale at ArtFest retail for about $9,500. The lifesized elephant runs more than $48,000. “That’s a lot of elephant,” Prescott joked. There were 176 artists with work on display at the festival, that stretched from Town Hall to the Philip S. Miller Library on Wilcox St. Not all of the work drew crowds for their impressive size, however. Darien Bogart, an artist from Pueblo West, caught the crowd’s attention with his animal and landscape paintings inspired by his time outside. “They all start with hiking out in the woods. Getting back to nature,” Bogart said. “I take my camera and sketch pad and get as many references as I can then I go back to the studio and put it all together.” Bogart’s original work, which transforms his photo ideas collected on hikes into brightly colored paintings, retail for $1,800 and up.
Brittany Werner and other Castle View High School art students created sidewalk-chalk drawings at Colorado ArtFest Sept. 6 and 7 in Castle Rock. Photos by Mike DiFerdinando “There’s a lot of color out there, but I think our eyes get lazy and we don’t see it anymore,” Bogart said. “So, I try to bring out the color that’s in nature.” In its 25th year, Colorado ArtFest prides itself on being a regional draw, attracting artists and patrons from across the state and southwest. However, local artists still play a prominent role in the weekend festival. Greg Dye of Littleton came back to ArtFest seven years after his first time at the festival to display his latest work. “You know, I had a great experience coming years ago and my work was received well,” Dye said. “Now I’m doing dif-
ferent stuff and I wanted to come see what kind of reaction there might be.” Dye’s new work is a wet on wet oil painting technique that leaves his art with a “super thick” look. Dye said he finishes all his pantings in “two days, period.” “I don’t spend any time. I just do it. Then, I’m done. I walk away,” Dye said. Dye’s work retails for $2-3,000. He said a painting of a buffalo, one of his most recent pieces, had been drawing the most attention. “I’ve been here since 1973, so I’m sort of a semi-native. It’s all totally Colorado inspired,” Dye said.
Visitors admire Fredrick Prescott’s sculptures Sept. 6 in Castle Rock.

Worth the wait: Horschel wins BMW Tournament at Cherry Hills sets up 2014 PGA Tour playoff finale By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Billy Horschel hit his second shot on the 18th hole and then sprinted up the hill to visit the restroom. Horschel obviously had more on his mind than winning the BMW Championship at Cherry Hills Country Club, but he really didn’t have much to worry about on the tournament’s final hole. “I’m sure the whole world saw me
sprint,” said Horschel. “I had to go to the bathroom and I had been holding it for way too many holes, and I just felt like, I could sort of relax and let’s just go ahead to the bathroom before I can’t go. “We knew Bubba (Watson) missed his birdie putt and we knew we had a two-shot lead. So that was huge.” Horschel, the 27-year-old Floridian, closed with a 1-under par 69 on Sept. 7 after rounds of 68, 66 and 63 for a 14-under par 266 total. He won by two shots over Watson, who had a final-round 66, in Colorado’s first PGA Tour event since 2006. The victory was worth a first-place check of $1.44 million for Horschel and BMW continues on Page 26

Course, Colorado meet challenge Cherry Hills draws rave reviews following BMW Championship By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Hills Country Club is a traditional, classic course with subtle greens and short yardage to tantalize professional golfers. However, the course held up well during the BMW Championship that concluded Sept. 7, and large crowds left golfers and fans wondering if the 92-year-old club could again host another prominent PGA tournament. Professional Golf Association and Western Golf Association administrators indicated that Colorado and Cherry Hills would be considered. “The course was good,” said Billy Horschel who won the BMW with a 14-under par 266. “Hopefully we can come back in the future. Hopefully there will be a regular tour (event) out here in Denver because a lot of fans came out this week and supported us. “So hopefully we can get another PGA Tour event back here because it’s a great place.” More than 125,000 fans attended the four days of the tournament — the pen-
ultimate stop in the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup playoffs — at the course in Cherry Hills Village. That impressed Rory McIlroy. “The fans and crowds were amazing all week,” he said. “It’s a beautiful area and it was a pleasure to play in front of so many people.” The BMW was the first men’s professional tournament in Colorado since the 2010 Senior PGA Championship was held at the Colorado Golf Club in Parker. The last regular Colorado stop on the PGA Tour was in 2006 at the International, which was played at Castle Pines. “It was a home run,” said Colorado Golf Association executive director Ed Mate when asked about the BMW. “It was a home run because I couldn’t image anything going any better. “It was a record-setting event for the Western Golf Association and we haven’t seen the final figures yet. The golf course played well and the crowds were fantastic and the fact that the governor and mayor came out speaks volumes of the golf support in Colorado. The only thing I would have liked to have seen was a little more dramatic finish.” Cherry Hills hosted its 11th PGA Tour championship event and the biggest problem BMW officials faced was finding alternate parking arrangements because some lots were unavailable because of rain that soaked the area the evening of Sept. 4.
Rory McIlroy stares down his tee shot at the fifth hole during the second round of the BMW Championship Sept. 5 at Cherry Hills Country Club. Photo by Chris Michlewicz Players complained a little about what they called concrete greens during the first
round Sept. 4 but the rain softened the greens for the final three rounds. The three toughest holes on the course were the 247-yard, par 3 15th; the 204-yard, par 2 12th; and the 526-yard, par 4 fifth hole. McIlroy found the 12th extremely tough as he four-putted twice on the green. The 346-yard first hole was inviting for the long hitters who tried to match Arnold Palmer’s feat of driving the green in the 1960 U.S. Open with equipment and balls that didn’t measure up to the modern gear. Only 10 of the 177 golfers that tried to drive the green actually had their tee shots come to rest on the putting surface. There was just one eagle made from the group of 10 golfers. Scoring average on the par-70, 7,352yard course was 69.84 for the tournament as players adjusted quickly to the altitude, which allows the ball to carry farther than at sea level. “I don’t think it was that difficult because you just put 10 percent into your yardages and pretty much play the same numbers,” said Morgan Hoffmann, who set a competitive course record with a third-round 62 and his final-round score of 63 vaulted him into a third-place finish. “So if you trust the yardage, it’s obviously going to look a little further than the number. But if you trust it, it wasn’t a problem for most players. I don’t think they had much difficulty.”

Fans rub elbows with their favorite players By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s a good day to be a golf fan during a PGA tournament practice round. On the Wednesday leading into the BMW Championship at Cherry Hills Country Club, players had their usual chance to become familiar with the course while amateurs had the opportunity to play alongside top tour professionals. The Sept. 3 pro-am also enabled fans, big and small, to meet their idols. And none were happier than Mikaela Walker, an 11-year-old who met her favorite player, Keegan Bradley, as he walked off the No. 4 green. Walker, who made the trip from Grand Junction with her mom, was left speechless after Bradley made brief conversation and signed her hat while she smiled uncontrollably. It was a typical scene at the pristine course, and more than half of the autograph-seekers were grown men who relished the chance to rub elbows with the PGA pros they watch on television. Corey Ard, a 42-year-

old Northglenn man who describes himself as a “golf junkie,” made no attempt to mask his giddiness over the occasion: it was his first time attending a PGA event. “I’m like a kid in a candy store,” he said from a perfectly-staked-out spot that gave him a view of four different holes. Ard arrived at 7 a.m., and by 4 p.m., he had collected nearly 20 signatures, including one from Rickie Fowler scrawled on an orange hat similar to one Fowler customarily wears during final-round play. The remainder of the autographs decorated a commemorative BMW Championship flag Ard purchased in the pro shop. As a testament to his obsessiveness with the sport, one of Ard’s most prized signatures came not from a golfer, but from Fluff Cowan, the wellknown caddie for Jim Furyk, with whom Ard also had a chance to chat. He also had designs on getting the flag signed by TV commentator Roger Maltbie. There is already a place on Ard’s wall where the flag will be hung, complete with a frame. “I eat, drink, sleep golf,” said Ard, who has a ticket for the final round. “I watch golf, I listen to PGA tour (radio) all the time and play as much as I can — two or three times a week.”
The excitement over the PGA’s return to Denver after eight years away was palpable, with sizable crowds on what is normally a light day in terms of attendance. And because it’s a playoff tournament in which the top 70 players are battling for points, stakes are higher and the enthusiasm is that much greater. But with a practice-day atmosphere looser than typically-serious tournament play, some of the golfers seemed to enjoy the playful banter as much as the audience. Ever the fan favorite, Phil Mickelson greeted star-struck spectators after pulling his ball to the left of the 18th fairway. One fan was brave enough to challenge “Lefty” to a $100 bet that he wouldn’t hit the green. Mickelson considered it, but declined, jokingly insisting that he couldn’t bear to take a fan’s money. He then proceeded to knock the ball 12 feet from the cup and sink the birdie putt, with the bettor suddenly nowhere in sight. When Mickelson exited the course, throngs of fans waited along ropes and temporary fencing with hopes of an autograph or at least a passing fistbump.
7-under-par 63 to come in third with a 269 total. Hoffman’s final two rounds marked the low 36-round total on the PGA Tour this season. “It’s funny, after the first two days, I didn’t really hit it much better on the weekend than the first two days,” said Hoffmann. “Maybe a couple bigger numbers on Thursday and Friday but obviously more putts went in on the weekend.” Sergio Garcia, the leader after two rounds, climbed to within two shots of Horschel but recorded an eight on the 555-yard, par 5 17th hole. He laid up on his second shot but his approach was wide of the small green. His chip was long and went into the water. “It’s really disappointing,” said Garcia. “It’s what happens when you are not mentally sharp. If I was mentally sharp, if I was rested and really the way I was at the beginning and middle of the year, I would have talked myself into going for the green.” Garcia, Ryan Palmer, Jim Furyk and Rickie Fowler tied for fourth at 271. Garcia, who had 5-under-par 29
on the front nine, finished with a 67 despite the snowman. Palmer closed with a 71, Furyk a 66 and Fowler a 68. Palmer, the 37-year-old Texan, started strong but faltered on the back nine. He was twice a co-leader but a bogey and double bogey on the 12th and 13th holes and another bogey on 15 tarnished his start, when he birdied three of the first five holes. Rory McIlroy, the world’s No. 1 player, finished with a 66 and tied for eighth place. The BMW Championship was the third of four tournaments in the FedEx playoffs. The Tour Championship is set for Sept. 11-14 in Atlanta, with the top 30 players in the FedEx standings vying for the crown. Playoff points will be reset and the top five players will be the leading contenders to win the championship. Chris Kirk, who tied for 36th at Cherry Hills, will be top-seeded in Atlanta with 2,500 points. Horschel is second with 1,500 markers and Watson third with 1,000 points. McIlroy is fourth with 750 points and Hunter Mahan fifth with 500.

Jaguars lose early lead, game Douglas County capitalizes on Rock Canyon miscues for win By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ coloradocommunitymedia.com After spending 14 seasons on the sidelines at Douglas County High School as an assistant, Gene Hill’s home head coaching debut couldn’t have felt any better. After Hill’s Huskies fell behind 12-0 to Rock Canyon before most of the fans had even made their way into the stadium, Douglas rallied for the next 29 points and then held on late to give their coach a 2925 victory over the visiting Jaguars on Sept. 5. “I can’t put it into words, it’s an unbelievable feeling right now,” Hill said. “The way our kids were able to bounce back, unbelievable mental toughness on our part.” The game looked like it was going to be a runaway from the start, but not for the Huskies. D.J. Webb returned the opening kickoff 24 yards for the Jaguars, bringing it out to the 35-yard line. Webb then took the handoff on the first play from scrimmage and scampered 65 yards for the score and a 6-0 lead. The Jaguars defense forced the Huskies to go three-and-out on their first possession and then Rock Canyon quarterback Ryan Hommel hit running back Trevor Howard for a 71-yard completion on the Jaguars’ second play from scrimmage for a 12-0 advantage. The pass would be Hommel’s only completion in the first half. From that point on, the Huskies’ defense tightened up, and County running back J.P Rubino, who missed the first week with a broken bone in his foot, punched one in from a yard out with just over a minute remaining in the first quarter. “The line just pushed hard,” said Rubino, who finished with 129 yards on 25 carries after being sidelined for four weeks. “It felt good to come back. I had to hit it hard in training this week, because every single muscle in my legs was dead, but it paid off.” Douglas went into the half trailing 12-7, but starting with Rock Canyon’s first third-
Douglas County junior Ryan Sayre hauls in one of his three receptions on the night as Rock Canyon’s Vincent Gullia prepares to bring him down. Sayre’s Huskies won the Sept. 5 game, 29-25, at Douglas County Schools Stadium. Photos by Ryan Boldrey quarter possession turned a trio of Jaguar miscues into 22 points in a span of just 2 minutes, 53 seconds to move in front 29-7. The Jaguars lined up to punt from their own 34-yard line, but a snap over the punter’s head gave the Huskies the ball at the Rock Canyon 6-yard line. The Jaguars’ defense held tough, forcing Douglas into a decision with fourth-and-goal from the 3, but after Hill asked his offensive line if they were going to score, the decision was made. “I told our kids going into the year, the difference between maybe me and what we have done in the past is that we are going to be more aggressive,” Hill said. “The way our (defense) was playing too, we hadn’t allowed a score since those first two plays. I was very confident (that if we didn’t score) they wouldn’t drive 97 yards on us.” Senior Rope Ruel (12-of-23, 147 yards, two passing touchdowns; 19 carries, 93 yards, one rushing touchdown) then rolled out on the play and connected with Matt Anderson for the 3-yard touchdown pass. Jaguars continues on Page 30

Golden Eagles clipped blind repair Mountain Vista falls 3-2 twice in a row to open volleyball season By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Close counts when pitching horseshoes but first-year Mountain Vista volleyball coach Mary Millman knows that a close setback only counts in the loss column. Mountain Vista dropped its second consecutive five-set match when Ponderosa notched a 3-2 win over the Golden Eagles in a Sept. 3 Continental League tilt in the Ponderosa gym. The Golden Eagles lost, 3-2, to Cherry Creek in their season opener Aug. 26. “We lost to two top-ranked teams in the state so I’m confident in what we have and what we are doing,” said Millman. “We are doing some good things. It’s a whole new squad and I’m a new coach so it’s kind of the growing pains that we are going through right now.” Ponderosa was the state’s third-ranked Class 4A team according to the CHSAANow.com poll and Creek was fourth in the Class 5A rankings, when the Golden Eagles matched up with the two programs. After losing the first set against Ponderosa, the Golden Eagles won the next two but then lost 25-11 in the fourth set and 15-7 in the deciding fifth set. “We definitely didn’t carry the momentum with us through any set that we played,” admitted Millman. “We were able to pick it up pretty late, 15, 16 points, but in the fifth you can’t start then. You have to start at 0-0.” Senior outside hitter Ellise Lech and junior outside hitter Allison Smith sparked the Mustangs in the fourth and fifth sets. Lech had 17 kills in the match, a 45.9 kill percentage, .324 hitting percentage, two aces and five blocks. Smith finished with 21 kills, a .314 hitting percentage, 41.2 kill percentage, 17 digs and three aces. “It was our first match and was probably what I thought would happen,” said Ponderosa coach Rob Graham. “I saw Mountain Vista play at Cherry Creek. They are a tough team, very physical and they have some great outside hitters. I knew we would come out with great energy because our girls hadn’t played a match. Mountain Vista bounced back with a dominating 3-0 win Sept. 6 against winless Grand Junction, 25-15, 25-15, 25-15. The Golden Eagles were scheduled to face Rock Canyon Sept. 9 and visit Legend Sept. 11.
SPORTS ROUNDUP Football recap
Lutheran, Colorado’s No. 1 team in the CHSAANow. Com Class 3A rankings, ran its record to 2-0 on Sept. 5 with a 52-7 romp over Frederick. Quarterback James Willis completed 15 of 24 passes for 346 yards and three touchdowns in the victory. Joshua Clausen caught eight of the passes from Willis for 129 yards and a TD. Cherry Creek, No. 2 in the Class 5A poll, dropped a 3028 decision to No. 4 Pomona. Both teams are now 1-1 for the season. Milo Hall rushed for 141 yards and two touchdowns including a 99-yard scoring run in the Bruins’ loss. Mountain Vista notched its first win by scoring 13 fourth quarter points in a 13-0 triumph over Brighton. Brock Robley passed for 152 yards and a touchdown to Jordan Faraci. Nick Schmalz ran for the other score. Michael Tombre hauled in a 17-yard touchdown pass from Marc Muma for Legend’s lone touchdown in a 20-7 loss to Rocky Mountain in a Sept. 4 contest. In other games played Sept. 5, Eaglecrest had 621 yards total offense in a 56-33 win over Highlands Ranch, quarterback Pete Mitchell accounted for 252 yards of total offense in Arapahoe’s 38-24 loss to Doherty and Ralston Valley blanked ThunderRidge, 38-0.

From the pitch
Ponderosa, the state’s No. 6 Class 3A soccer team, won three games to improve to 5-1-0. The Mustangs, led by the scoring of Thomas Green and David Patterson, blanked Pueblo County 5-0 on Sept. 2, shutout Denver West, 1-0 Sept. 4, and edged Lakewood, 2-1 on Sept. 5. Castle View, 2-0-1, remained unbeaten with a 3-2 overtime win over Gateway Sept. 4 as the Sabercats tuned up for a Sept. 9 match against Ponderosa. Arapahoe lost its first two games this season but won three games in the Arapahoe Warrior Invitational Tournament. The Warriors beat Rampart, 3-1, in the title game on Sept. 6. Mike Chism had a goal and two assists and junior defender Max Gueller led an Arapahoe defense that limited Rampart’s aggressive offense to nine shots.

Line play propels Valor to victory Eagles roll past team from Salt Lake City By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com In football, there’s a phrase that goes like this: “It’s what’s up front that counts.” Valor Christian coach Rod Sherman acknowledged that he agrees with that statement after the Eagles, top-ranked in the Class 5A CHSAANow.com poll, defeated East High School from Salt Lake City, 3114, Sept. 5 at Valor. The win improved the record for the five-time Colorado state champions to 3-0 and it was the Eagles’ play in the offensive and defensive trenches that made a big difference in the victory. “It was easy to watch the game and not realize how good East was up front,” Sherman said. “They were very physical both offensively and defensively. Their fullbacks and linebackers were tough kids. I’m really proud of how we battled on both sides at the line of scrimmage.” East ran seven more plays than Valor in the game but the Leopards were held to 226 total yards compared to 291 for the Eagles. “We held them to 3.6 yards per rush and that was pretty good against that team,” said Sherman. “They ran the ball 47 times.
Jaguars Continued from Page 27
Ruel then hit Connor Loveland for the 2-point conversion and a 15-7 lead. Not wanting Webb to return the kickoff after returns of 24 and 48 yards, County pooched it, Rock Canyon muffed it, and senior Christopher Ahrens wound up falling on a loose ball, giving the Huskies another
I thought our defensive line took doubles so our linebackers Whatmore (Nate) and Kortz (Gabe) were able to scrape downhill and make some pretty strong plays.” Whatmore, a 6-foot, 210-pound senior linebacker/fullback, led the team with 12 total tackles and was involved in two sacks. He also ran four times for 36 yards and caught a pass for 26 yards. “At the end of the day it’s not who gets the tackles or who was on the sacks, it’s how we get the job done,” Whatmore said. Valor’s senior backup quarterback Parker Courier, who played for starter Dylan McCaffrey who suffered a concussion in the Eagles’ second game against Pomona, completed 11 of 22 passes for two touchdowns. He was intercepted once. Sid Turnbull and Stone Watson caught the TD passes and Tanner Tadra paced the Eagles rushing attack with 66 yards. Valor averaged 5.7 yards per play during the game compared to 3.9 for the Leopards. “Offensively, I have to give all the credit to our offensive line,” said Whatmore. “East had a big defensive line and for them to step up and drive, it makes all those runs and plays possible.” Valor entertains Chandler (Ariz.) Sept. 12 in its final non-league game before opening Centennial League play Sept. 26 against Overland. “You saw that we haven’t played our best football,” said Sherman. “There are a lot of opportunities for us to improve. But, it is sure great to win while you are learning
shot at the Jaguar 47-yard line. Three plays later, Ruel was in the end zone after a 38yard quarterback keeper. Hommel, who finished 12-of-30 with two touchdowns and an interception, was then picked off on Rock Canyon’s ensuing possession by Douglas linebacker Brendon Butera, setting the Huskies up on the Jaguars’ 45-yard line. Three plays later, Ruel hit Trent Rillinger for a 19-yard touchdown pass and a 29-12 lead. “We just made too many mistakes,” Rock Canyon coach Brian Lamb said. “If we

Turnbull led all Valor receivers with 61 yards in the Eagles’ 31-14 victory over the Salt lake City high school. Photo by Paul DiSalvo and growing. I’m just excited to keep coming to practice and to refine and grow. The whole season is a journey. “We’ve seen a good rate of improvement. We’re going to have to get a lot better to play against Chandler. They are No. 1 or 2 in Arizona. We are going to have to be bet-
ter. We turned the ball over tonight (twice). We had costly penalties (five). We’re going to have to clean all those things up.” McCaffrey spent the East game helping signal plays into Courier. “I expect (McCaffrey) to play against Chandler,” Sherman said.
take care of the ball, we are in much better shape. It’s the second week of the season, and we are still trying to find our identity. We got a little bit better as the game wore down, but we just obviously can’t afford to make those mistakes.” The Jaguars made a game of it at the end, scoring twice in the final eight minutes on a 6-yard run by Webb and a 7-yard catch by Jack Lamb (5 receptions, 71 yards), but an onsides kick was recovered by County with 1:26 to go, sealing the game. “As of right now I think we are imma-
ture as a program,” Hommel said. “We are fighting an uphill battle when it comes to adversity. We need to come out strong like we did and keep it like that.” Both programs now stand at 1-1. Douglas County plays at ThunderRidge (0-2) Sept. 11 at Shea Stadium in Highlands Ranch. The Jaguars return to Douglas County Schools Stadium for a second straight week to face Castle View (0-2) on Sept. 12.
