event, which includes a bounce house and silent auction. The foundation was started by resident Margie Schoedel and her husband, Bob, following the tragic death of Schoedel’s daughter, Rebecca Yarberry, who was killed in a car accident in 2007. Just shy of 28, Yarberry loved helping others and traveled on many medical mission trips with CURE International. “It was important to my daughter,” Schoedel said of CURE International, “and when we got to know them, we agreed with their mission and saw the benefits.” Becky’s Blessings raises awareness of the medical needs of

Q&A with school board candidate Chris Ciancio-Schor Douglas County Board of Education District D BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Editor’s note: This is one in an ongoing series of Q&As with each of the candidates for the Douglas County School District Board of Education. Chris Ciancio-Schor grew up in Welby, a rural Adams County community, where she worked on a vegetable farm in the summers. The Castle Rock resident has four children and six grandchildren, all of whom attend or attended Douglas County schools. Ciancio-Schor, 62, has been an educator since 1977. She taught in the Douglas County School District and was an assistant principal at Rock Ridge Elementary in Castle Rock, an assistant principal at Pine Lane Primary in Parker and served as the principal at Castle Rock Elementary. She has also worked in Mapleton Public Schools in Adams County
and currently works on a contract basis for Mapleton as a mentor and trainer for teachers and administrators. Ciancio-Schor will be running for the District D seat, which includes portions of Castle Rock as well as the Franktown area. District D’s seat is held by board Vice President CiancioJudith Reynolds, who Schor was first elected in 2013. Reynolds has not said whether she will seek re-election. Why did you decide to run? I have six grandchildren at Castle Rock schools and my four children went to school in Douglas County. I love Douglas County and I love the educational community. I decided that it was a good time in my life to run for school board. With my six grandchildren going to school here, I think its kind of important that I’m invested. What are the most important issues facing the school district? We need to prioritize our student needs. So, academic achievement,
SPECIAL OFFER!
career education, vocational education, our special education and health services in our school district, as well as classroom resources. The other key issue I see is that we need to retain and recruit quality teachers and principals. Restoring trust. We need to provide support and training for teachers. We need to build strong relationships between the school district, schools and parents. Also in the top three would be restructuring school district budget expenditures to provide new buildings and capital improvement needs. The board has been divided in recent years. How would you help bridge that divide? I’ve worked specifically in working with people and collaborating on many issues, but especially educational issues. I have a lot of experience doing that. Once we all focus on what students need in our district, and we have that end result, I think we’ll be able to collaborate and have respectful discussions. I think we

Would you be supportive of a bond or mill levy to bring more funding to the district? I would need to continue to listen to our parents and our teachers for additional guidance. At this time, I would support a bond and mill levy to support our school buildings and capital improvement needs. It also supports the retention and recruitment of high-quality teachers. It also helps support the academic achievement of kids. I’d like to gather some more information and data, but it looks likely. What do you want people to know about you? I’m a life-long educator and I was born in Colorado. I have deep commitment to this community and to education. I grew up in a rural community. I have a background that I think will benefit our school district. I’m committed to listening to our parents, our kids and our employees. I’m committed to serving them and to meeting the needs of our kids.

Link-ing up with technology in Lone Tree Uber, shuttle team up for on-demand service BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Lone Tree residents and workers have a new option to get where they need to go without driving, as city officials and a representative of the ride-share app Uber announced a oneof-a-kind partnership outside the Lone Tree Municipal Building on Aug. 16. “We’re excited to have this opportunity,” said Jeff Holwell, Lone Tree’s economic development director. “The Lone Tree Link is a great service, but we wanted to take advantage of technology to make it better and more available.” Link on Demand, a free call and ride service utilizing the Uber app, had its soft launch more than two weeks ago with employees of the city, Sky Ridge Medical Center and Charles Schwab before debuting to the public at the news conference. The pilot is an extension of the Lone Tree Link, a free shuttle service operating weekdays that takes commuters from RTD’s Lincoln Station to Charles Schwab, Sky Ridge and other employers in the city. Holwell said 81,000 commuters used the Link in 2016. Link on Demand users can order a ride on a Link shuttle anywhere within city limits between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. The city will dedicate one currently unused shuttle for the pilot program through Dec. 31, though an additional bus or two could be added based on public response. The Link system that was in place used four shuttle buses. Holwell said one of those four was re-allocated for Link on Demand and the budget for the service is unaffected by the new program. “This is a pilot that can really test if our technology can help cities utilize underused resources and make those resources more efficient,” said Joe Sanfilippo, senior operations manager for Uber Denver. Sanfilippo said the company has partnered with other municipalities,

PHOTOS BY TOM SKELLEY but this is the first time city-owned vehicles will be connected to the Uber server. Anyone with the Uber app can order a ride by entering an origin and destination address and selecting the “More” option, followed by the “Link on Demand” button. The app is free to download. Public feedback will determine whether the program is expanded to include longer hours or weekend availability, or if it needs to be reevaluated. Holwell encouraged riders to fill out a survey on lonetreelink. com. At the ceremony, Mayor Jackie Millet said the new partnership should help the city meet its goal of reducing traffic congestion and innovating “first-and-last mile” commuting solutions for employees coming from the light rail station to their work or retail

New queen taking over in rodeo royalty program Candidates spend weeks preparing to compete for rodeo title BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Olivia Ary grew up idolizing Douglas County Fair and Rodeo royalty. With their perfectly primped hair, makeup and western outfits, combined with the suave quality of their rodeo and horse riding skills, rodeo queens were her role models, Ary said. Now, the 16-year-old Highlands Ranch teen is taking the helm as the 2018 Douglas County Rodeo Queen. The honor carries more weight than usual, as Ary will reign during the 100th anniversary of the county fair. In taking on the role, she will begin a rotation of appearances, travel and weekend events representing the county — because although the 2017 fair and rodeo has closed its doors, being rodeo queen is a year-round commitment. “It’s a huge year,” Ary said of the centennial anniversary. “It definitely adds pressure but it’s exciting pressure.” Before Ary rose to the ranks of queen, she was one of 12 girls competing for princess, queen and their attendants. Girls from both the high school and collegiate age level vied for a title by spending weeks in preparation. Ary said she spent two hours in the arena practicing her horsemanship skills, four or five days a week. But aside from horsemanship, candidates are tested for knowledge of their horse and the industry — such as certain vaccinations, types of feed, horse health and anatomy. They’re given a written test, interviewed by judges and asked to perform a speech. Ultimately, the competition is an hours-long process where candidates prove they are the best person to represent Douglas County. Ahead of the pomp and circumstance of the county fair, the program hosted two practices for the rodeo queen competition. On July 10, candidates arrived to the county fairgrounds with black, brown, gray and painted ponies in tow, ready to sharpen their horsemanship skills under the watchful eye of rodeo coaches. They donned cowboy hats and shining belt buckles. They paired jeans with Western style shirts. All looking the part, the girls first circled their horses around Debbie Mills, a co-coordinator of the rodeo royalty program. “We’re really honored that you would do this,” Mills said, before explaining that receiving a title would be a big commitment. “This is a job.” In the next couple hours, despite rain spitting down on them, the girls drove their horses through riding patterns mapped out by instructors who carefully critiqued their form and technique, pointing out errors a judge might see. A rodeo queen must smile at all times while riding in the arena, coaches said. And so the girls flashed their best grins as they waved to an imaginary crowd, all the while riding

their horses in large circles and more complex patterns. Mills’ goal, she said, was to make the competition judges’ decision very difficult. When the big day came on July 23, the girls had put in hours, days and weeks preparing. One girl asked a nearby competitor: “You ready?”. “I think so, but you can never be too sure,” she replied. In front of a crowd of family and friends, candidates entered the arena one at a time for the horsemanship round. They showcased their ability to start and stop their horse, change directions and complete what’s known as a “hot lap,” or a fast lap around the arena along the fence. Some horses — including Ary’s — gave their riders trouble, not wanting to smoothly complete their pattern. But that was OK. Judges don’t worry about if a horse performs perfectly. They know each animal reacts to crowds differently. What they watched was how the rider responded. Regardless of how the ride when, each girl was cheered on by her fellow competitors. “I think I learned a lot about support and companionship,” Ary said. “Seeing that sense of community, even though were all competing.” Helping to lead girls through the competition was the 2017 Rodeo Queen, Emily Wormington. The 17-year-old senior at Highlands Ranch High School was preparing to relinquish her title after a transformative year, she said. “I started out as a really shy child and when I started trying out for royalty it really boosted my confidence,” she said. Wormington also served as rodeo princess in 2015. Through her participation in the program, Wormington said
Olivia Ary, who was crowned as the 2018 Rodeo Royalty Queen, practices a fast lap around the arena during a July practice held ahead of the rodeo royalty competition. she is a better speaker and has already begun networking in fields she’s considering as a career thanks to connections she gained as queen. Most importantly, being queen was about tradition and getting out of her comfort zone, she said. “Rodeo is a sport for the past, present and future that many have worked hard to establish. One of my goals as queen was to make sure that the tradition can stay alive,” she said. “I’ve left with so many new friends and memories that will last a lifetime. And the contacts that I’ve made, I know that they will help me throughout my life.” Wormington hopes to one day compete for Miss Rodeo Colorado, and she wouldn’t be alone if she did. Roxann Harris, co-coordinator for the program,
Debbie Mills, a co-coordinator for the Douglas County rodeo royalty program, says they make sure all girls competing for a title understand being queen or princess is a year-round committment. said many girls in Douglas County go on to pursue bigger rodeo pageant titles. And, they grow as individuals. “By this time next year they’re a completely different person,” she said of the rodeo royalty court. “Their whole persona has changed and they just walk into these young women who are so confident.” Ary has already improved her confidence. She’d been most nervous for the public speaking portion of the competition, she said, but was relieved when she made it through. Now, she’s aiming to be the role model she looked up to, for the younger kids who are now watching her wear the crown. “I want to do the best job that I can,” Ary said. “It’s going to be a really good year.”

Candidate ‘not your typical Republican’ Elizabeth businessman, former Parker Mayor Greg Lopez runs for governor BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A crowded race to become Colorado’s next governor includes former Parker Mayor Greg Lopez. Lopez, 53, was elected at the age of 27, serving from 1992-96, and is proud of the fact he was the first Hispanic candidate to hold the position. Following his term as mayor, Lopez served as district director of Colorado’s Small Business Administration from 2008-14. In 2016, he ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate. The Republican now lives in Elizabeth, owning and operating a consulting business as well as a bar and restaurant in Aurora that he runs with his son. More than 20 candidates are seeking to replace term-limited Democrat John Hickenlooper in the November 2018 election. On the Republican side, notable candidates include District Attorney George Brauchler, of Parker; businessman Victor Mitchell, of Castle Rock; and Mitt Romney’s nephew, Doug Robinson, of Centennial. On the Democratic side, the most recognizable names so far are Congressman Jared Polis, of Boulder; former State Treasurer Cary Kennedy, of Denver; and former state Sen. Mike Johnston, also of Denver. What did you do as mayor of Parker that makes you a good choice for governor? I’m the one that made all of the decisions to build the Parker Rec Center. The council was split, so I was fortunate enough to make all of the decisions to break the ties. The other (accomplishment) I am most proud of was an annexation, it was called the Jacobson property… The council at the time was very adamant that they were going to authorize it or approve it. They forgot that I had veto power. So I vetoed the project, and what happened was the applicant decided to take it to the ballot… The results were three to one in my favor… That is the one time I can honestly say that I had my finger
on the pulse of the community and I did exactly what their wishes were. What do you think is the biggest issue in the campaign? The biggest challenge that Colorado faces is not what everybody else talks about — it’s not transportation. The biggest challenge is that we have 1.4 million people receiving coverage for medical care under Medicaid, and the state needs to do more to allow these Lopez individuals to provide for their families… What I think we need to do is partner with local jurisdictions, chambers of commerce, and create programs by which people will be able to increase their abilities, increase their skill sets and have dignity knowing they have a job. Pundits are projecting this will be the costliest campaign in Colorado history. How will that affect your campaign? We’re reaching a point where only the wealthy or those who can fund their own campaigns are the ones that are going to find themselves in elected office at the highest levels. For me it goes beyond that. The next governor has to win the county of Denver and has to win Boulder. If you don’t win those two counties, it doesn’t matter how much money you spend, you’re not going to be the next governor of Colorado... I’m the only candidate that can go into the City and County of Denver and garner the support of the minority community. Both major parties are viewed unfavorably in recent polls and historically, the party that lost the White House tends to do better in midterm elections. Do you think party politics will play a role in this race? It may matter for the other candidates, but it won’t matter for me because, as you look at me, just the visuals, I am not your typical Republican… It’s important for me to always understand that I’m here to do what’s in the best interest of the state, not what’s in the best interest of the party. I don’t care if a solution comes from a Republican or a Democrat or an unaffiliated, I’m interested in solving problems.

Getting WISE to renewable water Long-planned project brings big city water to south metro area
BY THE NUMBERS
BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Too many cooks is usually a good way to ruin a good thing, but in the case of delivering safe, renewable drinking water to customers in the Denver metro area, the more partners the better. That’s the thinking behind the Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency, or WISE, project, a partnership among 12 water providers that recently began delivering water to its members after more than eight years of planning, construction and anticipation. “It’s incredibly complex to figure out how you’re going to share a pipe,” said Mark Marlowe, director

Want to understand education? Try being a teacher — that’ll learn you QUIET DESPERATION
Craig Marshall Smith
T
hree little words — “back to school” — have the impact of hundreds, including, “Oh, no.” I think I was supposed to dread it, but inwardly I looked forward to strapping on my button-down shirts and khakis and returning to the classroom. My educational path was a lesson in American geography. I attended eight schools in four states. My father was either transferred or promoted. At least, that’s what he said. Maybe we were one step ahead of the feds. A new school year always meant my mother and father would give me a couple of new shirts, and something else: a three-ring binder with a blank, blue canvas cover.
Budding artists will draw or paint on anything that is blank. My new binder was my annual opportunity to show off. Late summers were spent considering the new school year’s drawing. I understood that pencil drawings smeared, and markers didn’t exist. That left me with ball-point pens. The majority of my drawings featured animals, like wolverines and bruins. The animals didn’t stop there: I studied with Miss Bird and Mrs. Hare. Miss Bird was 100 years old (that’s what we all thought), and a caricature of mean-natured, elderly schoolmarm. Mrs. Hare was as meek as her name. She was in her first year of teaching, and in her
first year of marriage. Double jeopardy. I hope she was more successful at home. Back then, schools provided just about everything we needed — except for binders and Pee Chees. Things have changed. One Jefferson County school asked every student to bring five dozen pencils, because of the school’s low supply. Costs overall have rocketed. One article (The Denver Post) stated, “In the last decade, the price of supplies and extracurricular activities increased by 88 percent for elementary school students, 81 percent for middle SEE SMITH, P11

he contrarian point of view here could have been “Enabling Meanness,” but really, who really wants to focus on being mean instead of being kind anyway? I guess perhaps we can accept the fact that some people have a mean streak, or they are mean-spirited, or maybe they have just become a selfproclaimed meanie over time. As I wrote this column the question I found myself asking was: Why do some folks choose to be mean instead of being kind? Why do some people look so hard for the bad that they completely miss the

smallest bit of good and kindness right under their noses? Is it because we have fostered a culture of meanness at home or at work? Do we enable and permit people to be mean to us and to others for the sake of maintaining a very unhealthy relationship? Or have we lost our nerve and just accept any behavior so we don’t rock the boat, even if it is mean behavior? Now here’s the deal, we can choose to enable meanness or we can empower
What’s the incentive? I have been reading/seeing a lot about the Town of Parker’s plans to build a 70-acre digital/film campus that could create 4,000 jobs. Wow! As far as Hollywood being a “monolith” that stopped a long time ago. What’s missing in all the hype I’ve seen so far is tax incentives for production companies to come to Colorado. Canada took on Hollywood decades ago with tax incentives. You can’t walk more than a few blocks in Vancouver without coming upon some film or TV series in production. The same goes for Toronto. Here in the United States, Georgia is rapidly becoming a major production center for productions like “Ozark,” “The Walking Dead” and the “Hunger Games,” just a few of the hundreds of films and TV series being shot there. Georgia offers qualifying productions a 20 percent tax credit, plus an additional 10 percent credit for embedding a Georgia promotional logo in the film title or credits. Canada has offered similar incentives for decades. It’s why “Fargo” is shot in Alberta. There was much hoopla a while ago about a TV series to be shot in southwest Colorado. Gov. Hickenlooper was there for that announcement too. But it didn’t pan out. Other states offered better deals. I feel bad for poor Wyoming. “Wind River” is set in Wyoming, but was filmed in Utah. “Longmire” is also set in Wyoming but filmed in New Mexico. Parker’s plans seem to be along the lines of “If we build it they will come.” The reality should be if we offer tax incentives, maybe they will come. But get in line behind other states who’ve beat you to the punch. So let’s simmer down with the hype and start dealing in reality. Is Colorado ready to get real in attracting film companies?

kindness. You see, we get to choose, don’t we? Sometimes we have to accept sadness just like sometimes we know that bad things do happen to even the best of people. Yet even with that said, we never have to accept being treated meanly by anyone, especially when we can choose to empower kindness and receive kindness. Kindness is and should be a two-way street. Most times we do get back what we give out, not 100 percent of the time, but my experience tells me most times. When we say hello, we usually get a hello back. When we smile, most times we get a smile back. When we are courteous to others we are typically greeted with courtesy in return. Again, not always, there are times

For Denver Water, the biggest advantage to the partnership is a backup supply of water in case of drought. For Aurora, the benefits include sharing the cost of maintaining its extensive infrastructure in the South Platte region. Customers of all WISE providers will see reduced costs as a result of sharing the infrastructure and keeping staff sizes down, according to Redd. “It’s a win-win-win,” said Lisa Darling, executive director of the South Metro Water Supply Authority. “These types of agreements are often settled in court, but WISE is all based on opportunities and advantages for all of the parties.

Much later on in my career, I walked around the classroom on opening day with a sense of command and a sense of humor. I’d tell them I learned to draw in “Pencil-vania,” and wait for the laughter to die down. I’d tell them that Van Gogh had a good ear for music. When I was in high school, art classes were perceived as a ver-
sion of recess. However, college art classes are far from it (or should be) and that often surprised my incoming freshmen. I enjoyed seeing their eyes widen when I handed them the nine-page syllabus. I heard gulps. Do I miss teaching? Yes and no. Yes, because I worked with some very talented, intelligent, involved, and hard-working artists and scholars. No, because I worked with the op-
posite, and too many students who were grade-driven and often gradeobsessed. Increasingly, faculty were expected to do a hill of accountability paperwork. And not only that, most collegelevel drawing students are a little sketchy.
where we try our best to be polite and kind only to be met with the unpleasantness and wrath of someone who chose to be mean that day. And I don’t know about you, but one of my very favorite things to observe is watching an interaction between two people where one person is berating the other person, thinking that a tone of anger and rising voice will get them what they want. And yet the other person remains calm, confident, helpful and rooted in kindness. Two people, same conversation or interaction, and yet one chooses to be mean while the others chooses kindness. Which one are you? Which one do you want to be? Kindness is a behavior. Kindness is an attitude. Kindness is a choice. Kindness is all around us if we just look for it and are open to receiving it. One of my favorite quotes when it comes to kindness is this one by Wil-
liam Penn, “I expect to pass through this life but once. If, therefore, there may be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I may do to any fellow being, let me do it now and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.” How about you? Does it depend on the day or even the moment if you choose kindness or is kindness part of your everyday being? Either way
I would love to hear your kindness story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can remember that kindness is a choice, it really will be a better than good week.

The Rangeview Metropolitan District just began taking water deliveries and the Cottonwood Water and Inverness Sanitation Districts, as well as the Meridian Metropolitan District will be next, beginning sometime in August, and the Centennial Water and Sanitation District, which serves Highlands Ranch, should be getting deliveries by the beginning of 2018.

Fresh faces, ideas needed We’ve all heard it a million times: politics has no place in education. Yet, politics is exactly what we’ve seen on the school board in recent years. Many of our board members have lost their focus on students, consumed instead by political warfare against their colleagues. It’s time for a change. Our district should have one, overarching goal: to deliver the education that our parents have always dreamed of for their kids and that will fuel our future. We need to reclaim our Accredited with Distinction status and ensure that any of our struggling schools and students have the support they need to succeed. We need to ensure that every school leader is empowered to make decisions for the benefit of students, not as the result of political ties or pressure. And we need to make sure we maintain our focus on kids at all costs. We’ve drifted too far from the real reason we all care about education. We need to restore that focus, and I believe only a strong leadership team with a fresh perspective can do that. I believe the Elevate Douglas County slate (Randy Mills, Ryan Abresch, Debora Scheffel and Grant Nelson) can offer that perspective. After what we’ve been through, I’m ready for some fresh faces, new ideas, and much-needed stability. Aleta You Parker
Did senator learn lessons? Sen. Cory Gardner is chair of the re-election committee for GOP senators, so of course he’d meet with the president of the Colorado Business Roundtable and left Thursday for a fundraiser with McConnell. So much for Colorado voters.He meets with “safe constituents” not The Front Range. He seems to forget that Colorado voted for Clinton and is a “purple state” with a bipartisan congressional delegation. I attended his Lakewood town hall and it was no rowdier than those held when the Affordable Care Act was being debated. He refused to directly answer any questions. The only comment everyone agreed on was his Charlottesville statement. He just spouted tired GOP policy. On health care, he only needed to say he was ready to work on a repair of the ACA with democrats in a bipartisan manner. He never answered a statement from a rural doctor about the impact of repealing the ACA. When asked about Trump’s solo ability to order a nuclear attack against North Korea, he could have said that it would not happen without a declaration of war voted on by Congress. Instead he said “he would allow the commander in chief to act like the commander in chief.” What does that mean? On the environment, he only talked about Pruitt’s visit and nothing about how climate change is already effecting us all. I hope Gardner learned the importance of meeting with all constitu-
ents and not just those who will give him money or believe as he does and will have more live town halls. We will be watching and remember when he runs for re-election in 2020. Gayle M.Spelts Lone Tree Act brings needed support There are 244,000 people caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease. As someone who has served in this role, I am proud to support the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act. Recently reintroduced in Congress, and supported by the Alzheimer’s Association, PCHETA (S. 693 /H.R. 1676) would ensure America has an adequate, welltrained palliative care and hospice workforce through workforce training, education and awareness, and
enhanced research. These services are critical services for persons in the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s. In fact, a number of studies have concluded that hospitalization is not recommended for individuals with advanced dementia given the life expectancy of the individual, the significant burdens of aggressive treatment and the difficulty of pain management for those who cannot communicate in the hospital setting. PCHETA will help ensure that the millions of Americans living with Alzheimer’s have access to quality care and end-of-life services, making a devastating diagnosis slightly more manageable. Please join me in asking Sen. Gardner to support PCHETA and the 69,000 Coloradans living with Alzheimer’s disease. Kristen Beatty Centennial

GARDNER FROM PAGE 8
Amanda Mininger, before the town hall started. “He represents us, and he should be able to speak to us in person.” Gardner faced questions and criticism from constituents on a variety of topics, ranging from relations with North Korea, Republicans’ efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, and his support of President Donald Trump. One thing Gardner received unanimous support for was his condemnation of the neo-Nazis and white supremacists who incited violence in Virginia on Aug. 12, leaving one person dead and 19 injured. “There is no moral equivalency between the two sides,” Gardner said at the beginning of the town hall, referencing the white supremacists and their counter protesters. “We have to fight racism and bigotry in our country. Any and all white supremacists should go back to their caves.” Several attendees received standing ovations for asking questions about Gardner not supporting hate groups, but supporting a president who does not explicitly condemn them and has White House officials like Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka, who have been tied to white nationalist groups. “I’m glad to see you giving real responses to questions, but how can you still support a president who puts people like that in power?” asked Denver resident Jonathan Rose. In response, Gardner reiterated that hate groups are unacceptable, but said it wasn’t his place to ask the president to
remove members of his staff. Many voiced concerns about cuts to Medicare and the price of insurance if the ACA were to be repealed. One attendee was even ejected from the town hall because he wouldn’t stop screaming, “You’re taking our health care” over other peoples’ questions and Gardner’s answers. But a couple conservative constituents also chided Gardner for his health care approach from the other side. “I know the majority of people in this room are here to say the ACA should continue, but I want to remind you of who put you in your seat,” said one woman. “I want to know when you’re going to repeal and replace?” Gardner also heard from constituents who wanted to ensure he would protect the state and world’s environmental health and sustainability. “We have an incredible outdoor legacy, and I want to do right for my children,” Gardner said. “I do believe the (Environmental Protection Agency) has overreached at times. We shouldn’t be doing something if the cost outweighs the benefits.” By the end of the hour-and-a-half town hall, the audience allowed Gardner to speak more completely, even if they didn’t like what they heard. And some issues weren’t brought up at all, like education. “I wanted to ask what he was going to do to protect our Title I students,” said Angela Anderson, a Jeffco resident, referencing the many students who are on the free and reduced lunch program. “I also wanted to ask how we could work on educating our students about the damage that racism does to a society. So many don’t understand racism exists in ways for all of us.”

Studios across Denver metro area teach range of martial arts BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

icole Gossett’s 9-year-old son has been practicing karate at ATA Family Martial Arts in Highlands Ranch for the past year. He has become a positive influence for the “not very athletic family,” Gossett said. “Watching him be so disciplined practicing at home and in the studio,” Gossett said, “we all have done a lot more sit-ups and squats and push-ups in the last year.”
Adults practice self-defense moves at a Gracie Barra Centennial JiuJitsu class, held at 4181 E. County Line Road. The month-long program teaches discipline and builds strength.
Karate, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, taekwondo, muay thai, kickboxing — the list of martial arts forms goes on. Though the names are distinctive, their styles all have something in common: self-defense. According to Black Belt Magazine, martial arts date back to 2600 B.C. in China. Emperors, troops and tribesmen used the defensive movements in battle. The practice evolved across the globe and many popular styles have made their way into fitness gyms and studios across the U.S. Robert Goodloe, owner of Gracie Barra Centennial Jiu-Jitsu, was studying for his master’s degree in business administration at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, 10 years ago when he first tried a Brazilian jiu-jitsu class. “I started training at the studio and I never left,” said Goodloe, a Highlands Ranch resident. He opened the second Gracie Barra studio in Colorado — the first is in Colorado Springs — at 4181 E. County Line Road in July. SEE DEFENSE, P15
SOME POPULAR MARTIAL ARTS A quick Google search reveals that dozens of martial arts studios can be found throughout the Denver metro area. Here’s a look at some of the most popular types of martial arts being taught in the area: Taekwondo A Korean martial art focused on punches, blocks, strikes and kicks. The style builds character and self-discipline. It is practiced around the world and is an Olympic sport. Karate A Japanese martial art based on fighting techniques, including punches, hand and elbow strikes, knee strikes and kicks. One of the most practiced martial arts in the U.S., the style embeds self-discipline and strong character. Judo A Japanese martial art that uses throwing and grappling
techniques instead of strikes and kicks. Participants throw or trip their competitor to get them on their back. Judo also focuses on mental discipline. Brazilian jiu-jitsu A Brazilian martial art focused on self-defense. The style teaches a smaller person how to defend himself or herself against a larger opponent and how to escape from an opponent. Muay thai A martial arts style from Thailand that is similar to kickboxing — a stand-up sport practiced with gloves — but includes elbow and knee strikes.

‘Art Encounters’ program celebrated in exhibition Roxborough group helps put together outdoor art walk, reception BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Rox Arts (Roxborough Arts Council) and Seven Stones Botanical Gardens Cemetery, on Rampart Range Road near Littleton, will collaborate on an outdoor art walk and reception from 5 to 8 p.m. on Sept. 8. “Time and Togetherness” celebrates Art Encounters, Douglas County’s sculpture program. In addition, about 20 artists, members of the Roxborough Arts Council, will exhibit and sell 2-D and 3-D artwork, according to member Moira Casey. There are 27 Art Encounters sculptures displayed through-
out Douglas County through spring 2018, when a new group will be chosen. Artists submit sculptures and if chosen, loan their works, receive a small honorarium, and in some cases sell their artwork. They are exhibited in Roxborough, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Parker and Castle Rock. (Locations are listed online.) Roxborough has five pieces this year: “Iron Horse” by Janene DiRico-Cable is placed in front of the clock tower at Roxborough Marketplace, where Rox Arts has a gallery on the second floor above King Soopers. The other four, “Tenderness” by Rene Carollo, “Mask of the Breath” by Kimmerjae Marcus, “Novus Grande” by Harold Linke and “Shard 1” by Joe Norman, are placed on the Seven Stones grounds. Rox Arts member artists will exhibit and sell jewelry, painting, photography, ceramics,

Benefits of martial arts are far reaching. From engraining a strong sense of discipline to strengthening muscles, the sport boosts mind and body, teachers and participants say.

sizes kicking. Karate focuses more on hand movements, including punching and knee and elbow strikes. Although martial arts teach fighting movements, typically they do not encourage fighting. “We teach how to use our body to defend ourselves,” said Irene Bowden, instructor of Shotokan Karate Colorado in Lone Tree. “A lot of people will come to train and learn how to kick and punch and they may never in their lifetime get in a fight.” The Showticon karate style — referred to as an empty-hand method of teaching self defense without weapons — builds muscle strength, flexibility, stamina and makes participants feel good, said Bowden. She started training with her sensei, or instructor, Gary Swain, more than 16 years ago to get in shape and learn self-defense. Karate has since become a “wonderful addiction,” Bowden said. She teaches three classes at the Lone Tree Recreation Center: Shotokan Tigers for ages 5 to 7, Stars Special Needs for ages 6 and older,

Professors, or instructors, are treated with respect. “I think people start to see the value of discipline,” Goodloe said. “It’s really a challenge to yourself. It improves your whole way of living.” Martial arts have a strong focus on moral values, discipline and character, experts say. Participants can use the mental skills to excel in competitive martial arts, but also in other areas of life. Gossett signed her son up more than a year ago to help shift his focus from distractions at school. The goal-oriented nature of martial arts helped him, she said. At ATA Family Martial Arts, participants are tested for belts — which signify a level of experience — every two months.
“The discipline of martial arts was a huge component to give him structure,” Gossett said. “He sees the consequences of positive and negative actions.” Some studios offer family classes, where parents can practice with their children. One of those is Personal Achievement Martial Arts, 3964 Youngfield Street, in Wheat Ridge. Having parents present increases kids’ focus, said founder Korey Stites. Instructors encourage better grades, respect, focus in and out of the classroom and leadership. “It’s also something they can do together,” Stites said. “You’re actually participating and doing everything right alongside the kids.” In martial arts, there is always room to grow, physically and mentally. Karate has changed Bowden’s life dramatically, she said. The Realtor and mother of three calls the form of martial arts her passion. “Martial arts in our view is considered a lifelong training,” Bowden said. “It’s something that you learn to love.”

Broncos great offers motivation for high school players Hall-of-famer Terrell Davis speaks at Castle View event BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Denver Broncos hall of fame running back Terrell Davis started the Mile High Salute in the 1990s after he scored touchdowns to honor service men. Davis received a salute of sort with a standing ovation after his 35-minute speech on Aug. 18 at the Castle View Gridiron Club’s Back the Cats evening, which was held at the Plum Creek church in Castle Rock. The three-time all-pro player and two-time Super Bowl champion talked about the core values of virtue, trust, resilience, passion, accountability and belief. Those are also same values that the Castle View football team stresses. “It was amazing having TD talk about Castle View football’s core values,” said Gridiron Club president Charles Oster. “I had dozens of people share their excitement after the event. Players in particular were grateful and excited.” Davis, who was induced into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Aug. 5, also took part in a meet-and-greet session before his speech and answered questions from the audience afterward. He enhanced his speech with personal stories. He recalled the time
when he was 14 years old and had a shotgun pointed in his face, but the potential shooter was convinced by another party not to pull the trigger. “That night told me I can’t put myself in situations that I’m guaranteed to lose,” Davis said. “From that day, I never put myself in those situations. “It’s up to you to decide what kind of life you want to live. These six core values were instrumental in helping me achieve the goals I wanted to achieve. When things go a little south for us all, we just go back to our core values.” Senior safety Josh Hermanstorfer was impressed with Davis’ discourse about belief. “He didn’t always believe in himself and I’ve had some problems believing in myself,” Hermanstorfer said. “He said you just kind of have to flip that switch and it will change your game. It’s really empowering.” There was an overflow crowd of 750 that attended the event, which helped raise funds to support the Castle View football program. Most of the Castle View players in attendance weren’t born or were in cribs from 1995-2001, when Davis was becoming the Broncos’ all-time leading rusher. “Yeah, I know who Terrell Davis is,” senior linebacker Heath Helms said. “Who doesn’t know? I was in a crib, but he’s one of my favorite players. I watch videos of him all the time. “It was a great event. I feel like it gave a lot of motivation for the team. It brings a lot of good energy and maybe pumps the team up a little.”
Davis shared his thoughts on the six core values to be a success with a group of 750 people during the Castle View Gridiron Club’s Back The Cats night on Aug. 18 at the Plum Creek Church in Castle Rock.

Terrell Davis spoke to a crowd of 550 during the Castle View Gridiron Club’s Back and Cats night on Aug. 18 at the Plum Creek Church in Castle Rock. During a question and answer session, Davis revealed he is afraid for himself about possible concussion effects but he would let his 6-year-old son play tackle football if he wants. Davis says strides have been made with practice limitations, tackling techniques and concussion awareness and he is comfortable with the safety measures that are being taken at all levels of organized football.

Castle Rock turns eyes to the sun for eclipse Spectators share eclipse glasses amid shortages BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Solar eclipse spectators gathered in a courtyard at the Outlets at Castle Rock on Aug. 21 for a community viewing party, and although eclipse glasses were scarce, those who did score the required spectacles shared with those who had not been able to. “I wish there were more glasses available,” Luke Nelson of Castle Rock said, as he and family discussed which locations in town had offered and then sold out of eclipse glasses. Nelson attended with his mother, Ann, along with Donna Orr, also of Castle Rock. The trio was able to get glasses through family, they said, but were happy to give those without a chance to use theirs. Not far away from where the Nelsons stood was Michele Andersen picnicking with Alani Andersen, 10, and Kiana Andersen, 4. The Andersens traveled from Highlands Ranch to watch the eclipse, and were among those who weren’t able to acquire glasses. “It’s OK, this is still cool,” Michele said. “People have actually been really nice letting us borrow their glasses.” One of those generous event goers
Adie, of Colorado Springs, and Amber Loberg try out their solar eclipse glasses ahead of the peak viewing time on Aug. 21. was Susan Milhollan, who had taken her daughter, Samantha, out of school for a few hours so the two could watch the eclipse together. The motherdaughter duo took turns using glasses they’d received through her husband’s work, Milhollan said, but also made sure to let people without glasses take a turn watching the eclipse. As people across the event passed glasses among one another, Ann Nelson said she enjoyed seeing unity among the community. “This is bringing everyone together,” Ann Nelson said. “I thought that was pretty cool.”

The 90-member Denver Concert Band surrounds director Jacinda Bouton, who celebrates her 20th year with the band this season. The first concert is “Western Winds” on Oct. 1. COURTESY PHOTO BY DON CASPAR people, who learned an instrument and maybe put it down for 20 or 30 years … one can’t always play football, but you can always play an instrument. Our flutist is 90 years old and has been with the band for 50 years.” When the Lone Tree Arts Center opened, Bouton was able to move the 90-member band there to enjoy the hall’s great acoustics. Regarding programming: “A small music committee of band members meets and throws ideas out. They bring pieces I’ve never heard. We try for a theme…” Then Bouton decides the program.
She always attends the Midwest Band and Orchestra Convention in Chicago, especially to hear new music. “Sonoran Desert” on this year’s Lone Tree Symphony program is one such work. “We need to play those.” The Denver Concert Band’s season begins with “Western Winds” on Oct. 1, followed by “Harvests and Holidays” on Nov. 19. “Up and Away” will be Feb. 25 and “Spring Fever” on April 28. Concerts are at 2 p.m. on Saturdays or Sundays. Some band members also play in the “Show and Tell Band,” conducted by Ken Kopatich of Littleton, in con-
certs for school kids. Kopatich and his wife, Joanne, organize the band’s annual Young Artists Competition and feature the winner in the April 28 concert. High school seniors who play a band instrument compete and the winner receives a $2000 scholarship. For the past 16 years, Jacinda Bouton has also conducted the Lone Tree Symphony, which will perform four concerts at the Lone Tree Arts Center. She said a new group of volunteers, the “Symphomaniacs,” is formed this year and seeking members to help with grant writing, fundraising and other activities. The LTSO tries to coordinate with the RTD Senior Ride Program when possible, Bouton said. Season programs: “British Isles” 7:30 p.m. Oct. 6; “Sleigh Ride in Winter,” at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 1 and 2:30 p.m. Dec. 2; “Symphony and Young Voices” at 7:30 p.m. March 2; “Clarinet and More!” at 7:30 p.m. May 4.

“I always wanted to be a teacher,” Jacinda Bouton said. With a degree in instrumental and vocal music from Missouri State in Springfield, she was teaching music at George Washington High School in Denver. Parents of several of her students were members of the long-running (56 years) Denver Concert Band. “A group showed up and invited me to audition” when the band sought a new director, she said. She ran a rehearsal and auditioned on two or three pieces. That was 20 years ago and the band celebrates her leadership this season. Her instrument of choice is the clarinet, she said, but as a band director, one pretty much needs to know how to play all of them. She is excited to have clarinetist Jeremy Reynolds from the University of Denver’s Newman School of Music as soloist in the Lone Tree Symphony’s May 4 concert. “They selected me,” she says happily, “and it’s been great — some of my best friends are Denver Concert Band members. They come from all walks of life: teachers, dentists, insurance

Drills prepare players for soccer matches Practices pair athletes with teammates for best approximation of games
SOCCER PLAYERS TO WATCH
BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
S
occer matches are packed with one-on-one confrontations as players mark each other up and down the field. Therefore, many practice sessions also involve drills with players going against another player to simulate game action. “We try to create a competitive atmosphere with some technical work,” explained Cherry Creek coach Marcelo Curi. “This generally revolves with players working with and against each other to improve technique. We try and play some tactical soccer following, and yes, we many times compete for shootouts at the end. “We want to create game conditions as much as possible, and even though some exercises involve limited players and touches on the ball, they all have value in their purpose.” Senior Zach Tripp says Arapahoe coach Mark Hampshire lets his players select some practice drills. “We play a lot of small side games so it’s a half field, some 6-v-6, sometimes we do 2-v-2 which is a lot of fun,” said Tripp. “We try our hardest to make it like a game. It’s not that much different. We try to push each other the hardest

Arapahoe was sixth in the Class 5A poll with Cherry Creek ninth and Ralston Valley 10th. D’Evelyn was sixth in the preseason Class 4A poll with
Standley Lake seventh. Jefferson Academy was second in Class 3A. All regular season matches must be completed by Oct. 21. First of three rounds of the state playoffs competition begins Oct. 25.

We work situational concepts this week on how do we adjust when we are winning or losing by one goal, two goals or if we are overmatch playing a strong team.”
Volleyball squads work in ways like football teams Offense centers on setter, whose role is similar to that of quarterback BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A good volleyball team can relate to what makes a football team successful. Volleyball players have to know each other and work together just like a good offensive line in football that is directed by an effective quarterback. “We liken offense to football a lot but the most important part of that is the setter, who is the quarterback of the team,” said Arapahoe coach Jordan Wright. “Setters are running the offense, telling players what plays they are doing, then setting the smartest option within those plays.” Chaparral coach Amanda West claims team unity goes hand in hand
with success. “Our pre-competition practices are full of team building and consist of a lot of 6-on-6 competition drills to get the girls used to playing next to each other,” she said. Girls’ high school volleyball teams opened practice Aug. 14. Eight teams from the Colorado Community Media circulation area were ranked in the CHSAANow.com preseason volleyball polls. Rock Canyon was third in the Class 5A ratings with Chaparral fourth, Mountain Vista fifth, Cherry Creek sixth and Arapahoe eighth. Holy Family was second in the 4A poll with Valor Christian fifth, while Faith Christian was eighth in the 3A poll. Teams will have two months of practice and matches to tune up their games before the regionals that must be completed by Nov. 5. The all-classification state tournament is set for Nov. 10-11 at the Denver Coliseum. “We are in some form of 6-v-6 during

FALL 2017 SPORTS PREVIEW
In tennis, players often climb a lengthy ladder BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Ladders and challenge matches are vehicles used by tennis coaches to rank players on a team. For a large school like Cherry Creek. the ladder is big. Members on teams from all schools must play documented challenge matches and either move up or down on the ladder, which eventually will determine a team’s lineup based on ability.
The Colorado High School Activities Association has the following ethics rules regarding challenge matches in its tennis bulletin: A tennis coach must present a player’s list at the beginning of each dual match/ tournament. The list shall certify that the team’s best player determined by play is the #1 singles, #2 singles, etc. with the exception of temporary replacements. A tennis ladder or challenge match results must be provided to prove a team lineup.
Challenge matches don’t continue into the regular season because of another CHSAA guideline. All players must have competed in at least six events at that position before they can play at that position in regionals. Cherry Creek had 169 players on its ladder when challenge matches started Aug. 14, and coach Art Quinn admits it takes time to understand just how a substantial ladder SEE TENNIS, P29

Injury report puts health of young athletes in spotlight

M
aybe that last-place ranking that Colorado recently received in the report released by the Korey Stringer Institute on managing injury risk has turned into a positive for the Colorado High School Activities Association. Colorado was last among 51 state associations in the high school sports Safety Policy Rankings. Rankings are based on guidelines for sudden cardiac arrest, exertional heat stroke, traumatic head injury, appropriate
health care coverage and emergency preparedness. North Carolina was ranked first, followed by Kentucky. CHSAA and the National Federation of State High School Associations objected to the Aug. 8 report. CHSAA responded loudly and has made people aware of what the organization is doing. “It gave us pause to look at what we were
doing, double check our best practices with others and provide reassurance that we had many good things in place,” assistant CHSAA Commissioner Bert Borgmann said. “We know that we will be adding additional measures, and we would have without the survey. We are focused on and will continue to be focused on the health and safety of Colorado’s student participants.” SEE BENTON, P31

environment. We also do one positional practice each week. “In terms of technology we use an iPad that films our team and projects it to a TV in our gym on a 15-second delay.

works that is complete with four-player clusters. Quinn, a 1982 graduate, played tennis at Creek and was an assistant coach for eight seasons before assuming the head coaching position two years ago. “It took me five to six years as an assistant coach to completely understand each part of the ladder and understand it as a whole,” said Quinn. “Every year there’s something that will happen that you cannot foresee. With a program the size of Cherry Creek and the amount of variables you have, there’s really no way to predict every outcome. There are surprises every year, no doubt. “There are so many processes within the processes. As you get near the top of the clusters, the top 14, it’s still the same ladder, but it’s a different system within the system.” The system has worked as the Bruins head into the 2018 season, having won the past six straight Class 5A state titles and 42 of 45 championships since 1971. This season, tennis state qualifying
regionals must be completed by Oct. 7 and the state tournaments are scheduled for Oct. 12-14. The Class 5A state tournament is set for the Gates Tennis Center in Denver and the 4A meet will be held at Pueblo City Park. Challenge matches provide a competitive, intense start to the season but coaches usually wait until the lineup is established to work on helping players with particular phases of the game. “For our challenge matches, I do not coach our athletes,” said Mountain Range coach Karl Buck. “I do not want our athletes to feel that I am coaching one more than the other, so I avoid it altogether. I watch every singles and doubles challenge match, taking notes on what I feel our players can do better in the future.” Heritage coach Chad Hanson is also a spectator during the early-season challenge matches. “The boys have been coached by me or their private coaches all summer and have a chance to show me how hard they’ve worked during the challenge matches,” he said. “We begin normal practices as soon as the ladder is set.”

son rationalizes that “practice varies depending on where we are in the season.” At Lutheran, coach Alicia Oates stresses ball control during practice and games. “We will practice ways to utilize our team strengths while improving any areas of weakness,” Oates said. “As we get into game competition we like to look for ways to use our strengths against our opponent’s weaknesses, but our primary focus is on controlling our side on the net. The more competition, pressure situations and game-like experiences we can create in practice, the better.”

THEREFORE, Notice Is Hereby Given that on the first possible sale date (unless the sale is continued*) at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, September 27, 2017, at the Public Trustee’s office, 402 Wilcox Street, Castle Rock, Colorado, I will sell at public auction to the highest and best bidder for cash, the said real property and all interest of said Grantor(s), Grantor(s)’ heirs and assigns therein, for the purpose of paying the indebtedness provided in said Evidence of Debt secured by the Deed of Trust, plus attorneys’ fees, the expenses of sale and other items allowed by law, and will deliver to the purchaser a Certificate of Purchase, all as provided by law. If the sale date is continued to a later date, the deadline to file a notice of intent to cure by those parties entitled to cure may also be extended. If you believe that your lender or servicer has failed to provide a single point of contact (38-38-103.1 CRS) or they are still pursuing foreclosure even though you have submitted a completed loss mitigation application or you have been offered and have accepted a loss mitigation option (38-38-103.2 CRS), you may file a complaint with the Colorado Attorney General (720-508-6006) or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (855411-2372) or both.
