‘Gap’ construction launches after Labor Day Castle Rock is at north end of first phase of roadwork BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The long-awaited expansion project of Interstate 25 between Castle Rock and Monument, an area commonly called “the Gap,” is nearly here. Construction to widen the stretch of I-25 from two lanes in each direction to three, with the new lane being tolled, begins Sept. 4. The Colorado Department of Transportation has held community meetings to brief the public on what to expect during construction, but it left some Douglas County residents worried about ripple effects on their neighborhood. CDOT hopes widening the Gap will eliminate notorious congestion in the area and increase public safety. The project also includes adding wildlife crossings and addressing aging bridges, among other fixes, throughout the years-long project. What to expect In total there are three multi-phase “packages” of construction. Package one doesn’t wrap up until 2020 but begins this September. It spans five miles from Plum Creek Parkway in
Castle Rock to Sky View Lane, about halfway between Tomah Road and Larkspur. Here’s the plan to manage traffic while construction is underway: • Two lanes will remain open throughout the day going in each direction. • Speed limits will be reduced on I-25 from 75 mph to 65 mph in construction zones. • Any necessary lane and ramp closures will happen after peak hours, typically at night. “Our goal is to minimize impact as much as possible,” said CDOT spokeswoman Tamara Rollison. It’s imperative that drivers follow speed limits and pay attention to road signage while traveling the corridor, Rollison said. Drivers can also sign up for text and other alerts, so they know road conditions before traveling the Gap. “If they’re empowered with information they’ll be able to plan their commutes better,” Rollison said. “As long as people know what’s going on before they head out, that reduces a lot of the anxiety.” Throughout the first package of work, construction will occur in the center median during phase one, switch to the shoulders in phase two, and in phase three, switch back to the center of the roadway. Workers will construct a guardrail
to separate northbound and southbound traffic, repair wear and tear along the shoulders and build the tolled third lane. The controversial expressway won’t open in this stretch of I-25 until fall 2020. Residents weigh in Residents from El Paso and Douglas County have spoken against making the third lane tolled. Michael VanderMeulen, of Castle Rock, said he’d have preferred CDOT add one general-purpose and one toll lane to the Gap, but was overall glad the project could get underway. “I’m not necessarily a backer of tolls,” he said, “but it needed to be done.” CDOT officials fielded numerous questions related to tollways and HOV lanes in an Aug. 22 open house at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock. The tolled lane is also a carpool lane, sometimes referred to as an HOV lane, in which vehicles with three or more people can ride for free. For much of the two-hour event, John Hall, the I-25 South Gap pre-construction director, stood surrounded by local residents, many with frustrated questions about safety, congestion, the effectiveness of toll lanes and the number of required passengers for carpool lanes.
The agency maintains that an express lane ensures a reliable trip and will ease congestion, more than adding a general-purpose lane would. Patti Memsic, a Keene Ranch resident, remained unconvinced after speaking with Hall, calling the express lane CDOT’s “biggest mistake.” “It’s all about money,” she said. “By making that a toll lane, it’s not solving the problem.” But Mesmic was concerned about more than paying a toll. She was among several residents at the open house who live along West Frontage Road, which parallels I-25 from Plum Creek Parkway to Tomah Road. People use the west and east Frontage Roads in Castle Rock to bypass congestion on I-25 and speed as they do it, Mesmic said, calling it “a serious problem.” Among her concerns was how the Gap construction, which will likely lead to slower travel time on I-25, would affect those existing problems. Hall, a Monument resident, has commuted on the Gap for 15 years and knows the Frontage Road issues well, he said. Backups along I-25 often begins at the Tomah exit where drivers from Frontage Road merge onto the interstate, he said.

The Douglas County Board of Education recently approved two tax measures for additional funding on the November ballot. Now, the pressure is on. “To me, it would be devastating to lose this,” board member AnneMarie Lemieux said at the Aug. 21 meeting in which the board voted to put the measures on the ballot. “It would literally be devastating.” Added board member Krista Holtzmann: “We don’t have the luxury of not passing this. We have to pass this.” Following 2 1/2 hours of impassioned pleas from teachers, bus drivers, parents and students during public comment at the meeting, the school board approved a bond and mill levy override recommended by Superintendent Thomas Tucker. A $250 million bond would address building repairs in the district, and a $40 million mill levy override would go toward teacher pay and school programs. Should

voters in the county approve the tax increases, a homeowner with a home valued at $470,00 would pay an additional $208 a year, or $17.33 a month. Peter and Maggie Bierbaum and their son Jake make up the steering committee for Bright Futures for Douglas Kids, a registered issue committee formed in April. During public comment, Maggie Bierbaum unraveled a thick stack of papers, each lined with rows of names of community members in support of the tax measures. The team collected 1,577 signatures. “Tonight we are here to show you the community calls for such a measure,” Maggie Bierbaum said. The committee will be campaigning for the bond and mill levy override leading up to the November election. The tax-measure discussion began last November, when voters elected four candidates who opposed the previous board’s reforms of the past several years — including a pay system that many said led to an exodus of teachers. Over the past eight months, school board members have stressed the need for additional funds at board meetings and work sessions. In late May, the board hired a research firm to survey 400 residents throughout the county on their views of the school district and funding. The majority of respondents indicated they would support a tax measure. At a board meeting on Aug. 7, Tucker recommended one of three bond and mill levy override packages, put together by district staff, to the school board. The other options presented by staff were a $300 million bond and a mill levy override of $30 million or $50 million. Lemieux questioned if the amount of the bond and mill levy override would address critical needs such as internal teacher pay
gaps. Tucker maintained his philosophy of “reasonable requests at reasonable intervals,” which several community members and board members said they support. “When I go home, I sleep well. I cannot sleep well if I’m asking for more money than I think we need,” Tucker said at the Aug. 21 meeting. “I want to be fair with our community. I want to be fair with our staff. My heart aches for everyone.” Ballot measures on school funding were brought before Douglas County voters in 2008 and 2011, but voters rejected them. The last time Douglas County passed a local bond or mill levy override was in 2006. Jefferson County Public Schools passed a measure in 2012 and Cherry Creek School District passed a measure in 2016. Littleton Public Schools passed a mill levy override in 2010 and a bond measure in 2013. The difference in funding has caused inequities in teacher Thomas Tucker, pay across Superintendent county lines. The average teacher salary for the 2017-18 school year at Jefferson County Public Schools was $57,154, according to the Colorado Department of Education. Cherry Creek’s was $71,711 and Littleton’s was $66,399. Douglas County’s was $53,080. William Larson, principal of Ponderosa High School from 1985 to 2002, took the stand during public comment at the Aug. 21 meeting. If he were a principal today, he said, hiring the best teachers would be difficult.

Swim Across America makes waves at Chatfield More than 250 people turned out to participate in the event set up to fight cancer BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Lauren Alfino is just a little more stubborn than others. On an impossibly perfect Colorado day, hundreds of swimmers prepared for a dip in the Chatfield Reservoir Aug. 26. And Alfino, undoubtedly, would be one of them — even though she had a boot on her left foot. The story of how the 22-year-old swimmer broke her foot pretty much sums up the story of who Alfino is: highly competitive and highly stubborn. For that story, Alfino seemed fit to jump to the conclusion: “I set the world record for how fast you can go down the water slide,” she said with a laugh. Alfino, of Aurora, was not going to miss this, the inaugural Swim Across America event in Colorado. The organization “makes waves to fight cancer,” but specifically, it raises money for the local Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children’s Hospital. More than 200 swimmers from around the metro area signed up to swim a course in the reservoir southwest of Littleton at either a 5K, mile or half-mile distances. Alfino, and her broken foot, were set for the half-mile. To Alfino, the impediment was nothing. She’s proud of her stubbornness. It’s what allowed to her be there in the first place. Alfino was diagnosed with nonHodgkin’s lymphoma in 2013, a cancer that starts in white blood cells. In April of that year, her cancer was in remission. She never forgot about that struggle, event 5 1/2 years later. Now, she’s grateful any chance she gets to be in the water. “When I got diagnosed with cancer, I continued to swim throughout my entire treatment,” Alfino said. “It was nice that I had some very supportive people in my life who didn’t question me, but supported all my stubbornness.” Nicole Vanderpoel, the director of the Denver Open Water Swim, worried that if there would be one cloud in the sky during the event, it would be right above Chatfield Reservoir. Instead, Colorado’s first Swim Across America event enjoyed one of the nicest days of the summer, clear for once of smog and haze to set the stage for an event months in the making. The Denver Open Water Swim for Swim Across America raised almost $200,000 for cancer research. “We far exceeded anything we could’ve hoped for,” Vanderpoel said. “We’re overwhelmed with the support, the amount of swimmers and the sponsors. They all came through.” The Denver Open Water Swim was the first Swim Across America event in Colorado, but Vanderpoel already has her sights set on next year. “We’ve got work to do, and we are

We celebrate everyone here,” she said. “Next year, we’re just going to continue on the same path with the same goal, and that’s purely for the children.” Hot air balloons floated high above the park as swimmers filed in, eventually by the hundreds, on Chatfield’s shore. And by the masses, 95 swimmers waded into the water before beginning their three laps for the 5K swim. Among them were 16 Olympi-
ans, including Missy Franklin, the five-time Olympic gold medalist and Regis Jesuit graduate. With a beaming smile and water still dripping from her face, Franklin said meeting the children at the hospital was one of the most impactful events she had the opportunity to be part of. “Actually getting to see what all of this is about and where all of this is going…it makes me speechless,” Franklin said.

women’s program and a spine and joint program, among several other programs and offerings requested by Douglas County residents. “We knew the community in Lone Tree wanted a first-class hospital,” said Sylvia Young, president and CEO of HealthONE, the parent healthcare company of Sky Ridge. She said Sky Ridge earned a five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a federal agency that ranks hospitals. “Think five-star, Ritz-Carlton, top-of-theline — Sky Ridge is on that list.” To the Sky Ridge team, Young spoke of an even brighter future. “We look forward to sharing that next milestone with you,” she said. Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas said the milestone was not only important for Sky Ridge, but also reflected a milestone for the entire region, which has since welcomed three hospitals in the area, one each in Castle Rock, Parker and Highlands Ranch.

The area has since become Lone Tree’s most booming area with the Charles Schwab campus, thousands of housing units and a bevy of retail opening up since Sky Ridge opened. Simon also credited Sky Ridge with being a key part to getting the RidgeGate interchange and Southeast Light Rail Extension to the area as well, neither of which preceded Sky Ridge. “We’re looking forward to your continued growth and success,” Simon said. One of Lone Tree’s major employers, Sky Ridge started with 300 employees and has since grown to 1,300 employees, with an additional 300 volunteers. The hospital has served about 500,000 emergency visits, done 210 surgeries, delivered 45,000 babies, and helped patients lose a combined 90,000 pounds through its bariatric program, according to Sky Ridge officials. Sky Ridge also has done the most robotic surgeries in the state. Mayor Jackie Millet called it a world-class facility. “I don’t think we truly imagined the positive impact it has had on the community,” Millet said. “To say they’ve gone beyond our expectations would be an understatement.”

Fire departments rescue trapped dog in Centennial Team sawed through concrete to save dog after nearly 1 ½ days BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
More than a dozen men turned a backyard in a quiet Centennial neighborhood into a makeshift construction scene, sawing, hammering and digging their way to rescuing a family’s 8-yearold dog on Aug. 21. Luna, a small Jack Russell terrier, got underneath the house at 7322 S. Harrison Way in the early morning of Aug 20. It’s something she does all the time, said Anne Timmerman, Luna’s owner. “She runs after everything she sees,” Timmerman, 49, said. But she never got stuck like this before — after two hours of calling her, Timmerman became concerned and called the fire department. Littleton Fire Rescue officials arrived at the home near South Colorado Boulevard and East Dry Creek Road midday, and after coming again that night, they got a helping hand — or several. “We realized we needed to pull out the heavy rescue,” said Kim Spuhler, spokeswoman on the scene for South Metro Fire Rescue. South Metro Fire’s technical rescue team moved in the afternoon the next day, along with Littleton Fire, Franktown Fire Protection District and Centennial Animal Services.

Anne Timmerman, 49, holds her 8-year-old dog, Luna, after South Metro Fire Rescue and Littleton Fire Rescue officials rescued Luna from beneath a house at 7322 S. Harrison Way in Centennial Aug. 21. Luna had been trapped for more than 30 hours after getting underneath the home. ELLIS ARNOLD It all added up to a large team converging on the wooden backyard patio, sawing and removing planks and digging underneath the home. Terrence Timmerman, Anne’s husband, and family members stood on the patio and inside the house, some putting their ears to the floor to hear Luna. “I’ve never seen anything like this in my life,” Terrence Timmerman, 47, said. “That they’re doing this, this is amazing. I’m speechless, to be honest with you.”
The crew worked for hours in the intermittent rain the afternoon of Aug. 21, deploying a tarp and cutting away the concrete itself — responders used a chainsaw to cut several square feet of the slab beneath the wood, reaching toward Luna. Responders took turns crawling into a hole dug underneath the home. All the while, a crowd of higherranking officials, news crews and family stood behind, some yelling Luna’s name — others saying, “Wanna go for a walk?” to entice her out.
After using a jackhammer, sledgehammer, shovels and other tools, one responder was able to stretch far enough in — and finally pull Luna out. “It’s a miracle,” said Anne Timmerman, holding her dog as people huddled around to see her. Luna was calm and silent, like nothing had ever happened. Timmerman said she planned to take her to the vet, as reporters and cameras gathered around. Spuhler, standing with the responders, said with rescues like this, “You get tunnel vision.” “You focus on the project,” Spuhler said. “But when you see the dog, or when you see the result of your work, it’s very rewarding for the guys.” Timmerman beamed, holding and kissing her dog. “It’s incredible,” she said. “A big relief.”

Youth Congress teams teens with area civic leaders STAFF REPORT
High school students looking for a legislative leadership opportunity are invited to apply for Youth Congress. The program unites high school students from around Douglas County with area civic leaders, giving teens an opportunity to learn how the legislative process works. “Youth Congress is the perfect opportunity for students to have their voices heard and see that they can make a difference through collaborative problem solving and the sharing of ideas,” County Commissioner Lora Thomas said in a news release. “It’s a chance to work side by side with area civic leaders and potentially influence local and statewide public policy impacting youth.” Each year, the topics change for attendees but the constant is that the issues are ones that affect the lives of Douglas County youths. The program is about teenagers trying to solve teenager problems and helping find creative solutions for topics such as behavioral health, teen drug and
alcohol abuse and more. Students and legislators will work in groups of 10 students and three civic leaders, who will include county employees, local legislators and town council members. Groups will share their ideas and present them at the end of the day. Online registration is now open for this year’s Youth Congress, which will take place from 8:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Sept. 24 at the state Capitol, 200 E. Colfax Ave., Denver. Lunch will be provided and buses from Legend High School and Highlands Ranch High School will be available for those needing transportation to and from the event.

Highlands Ranch resident Margie Schoedel hopes to raise $10,000 at her upcoming fundraiser, Run For One. The annual 5K and 2K is scheduled for Sept. 8 at Mountainview Christian Church, 40 E. Highlands Ranch Parkway. That amount of money could fund at least 10 surgeries at CURE International. The Christian health care network operates hospitals and pediatric surgical programs in 29 countries worldwide. Physical disabilities treated
include clubfoot, bowed legs, scoliosis, hydrocephalus and cleft lip. The organization is near and dear to Schoedel. In 2007, her daughter, Rebecca Yarberry, was killed in a car accident. Just shy of 28, Yarberry was passionate about helping others and traveled on several medical missions with CURE International. After her daughter’s death, Schoedel and her husband, Bob, started Becky’s Blessings Foundation to raise awareness of the medical needs of children in developing countries and support medical and humanitarian missions worldwide, the foundation’s website says. The seventh Run for One fundraiser will have a silent auction and kidfriendly activities like a bouncy house. “Come, have fun,” Schoedel said. “And help us continue to heal more kids.”

ELECTION FROM PAGE 4
“Over 17 years, I shared often that I had the best high school principal job in Colorado. I had the best students, the best parents, teachers, support and school board,” he said. “Much of this changed with a new school board. They did not choose to have a bond and mill levy override when needed.” Dennis Houston, CEO of the Parker Chamber of Commerce, also took the stand to voice his overwhelming support for the tax measures. A portion of the mill levy override would go toward school programming, including vocational education. “The Douglas County business community needs career and technical education,” Houston said. “We are in desperate need of plumbers, electricians, auto mechanics. We need thousands of I.T. professionals and engineers.” Inadequate funding has created issues in district buildings. Schools
are in need of between $303 million and $403 million in repairs, according to DCSD’s Master Capital Plan. Within the bond, $150 million would go toward Tier 1 and additional high-priority Tier 2 needs, which are critical building repairs. Capital reinvestments, with an estimated $3 million to $9 million for charter school safety and Tier 1 needs, would account for $61 million. And $39 million would go toward capital construction and career and technical education. A $40 million mill levy override would provide $17 million to address teacher pay; $6 million for changing counselor ratios at elementary, middle and high schools; $9 million for school-level funding depending on student need, equity and programming; and $8 million for charter schools. The decision will ultimately be in the hands of the voters. Election Day is Nov. 6. “We have a lot of catching up to do,” parent Kelly Poynter said. “Give Douglas County voters a choice and let them decide this November.”

ohn Lennon said, “Littering is easy with eyes closed.” Littering is easy and it’s fun and it’s a great way to thumb your nose at that arcane word “civility,” which has gone down the floor and out the door. I’m doing community service. I’d rather not explain why. It had something to do with the use of a misplaced modifier. The judge threw the book at me. It happened to be a copy of Strunk and White’s English grammar and punctuation masterpiece “The Elements of Style.” I was sentenced to write three columns: about cellphones and tailgating and littering, the harm linked to each of them, knowing full well I would be ignored. Heck, I was tailgated by a guy on a cellphone on the way to the newspaper to drop off one of the essays. He hit the trifecta: He threw a candy wrapper
out the window. After this column, I will have done my time and I can return to what I am best known for: handy hints for homeowners. Here’s a sample: Don’t go eating detergent pods. Harry and I just returned from a nearby park. It’s big and green and meticulously groomed, there are two ball fields, restrooms, a fenced-in playground, and all around it are trash cans. All around the trash cans we saw trash. How is that? Why is that? We saw empty water bottles near empty soda bottles near empty sandwich and chip bags. Someone packed a picnic, but they forgot to pack mom — or dad — or someone like me, who picks up after (careful, Craig) worthless dopes, dunces and fools who leave their detritus like scat.

Every student in Cherry Creek brings in an additional $1,635 annually thanks to their MLOs, and teachers in CCSD earn an average of $19,000/year more than ours do.

Kristen Hirsch Highlands Ranch Schools do need the money Smith Young’s letter in the Aug. 16 paper advising us to defeat any Douglas County School District bond proposal is flawed in several respects. He states that the district’s $53,080 average teacher salary is “in the middle of the pack statewide,” implying that’s OK. However, that state average includes districts in counties like Baca, Yuma and Moffatt, where salary bases are much lower. Comparisons must be made with our nearest “competitors,” those with similar salary demographics. A $17,000 disparity between DC and Creek is not acceptable.

How to keep your situation free of destination procrastination
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Support ballot measures I’m writing to express my gratitude to the Douglas County School District Board of Education for unanimously voting to add two local school-funding measures to the ballot this November. The impact to individual homeowners is not great (an average of $17 more per month in property taxes), but the dividends our schools, students and teachers will receive are massive. Due to the lack of funds, our district has long neglected necessary maintenance of our existing schools. It’s irresponsible and fiscally unsound to let these buildings deteriorate and crumble around our 68,000 students. Passing these measures means the money collected will flow directly into our district’s coffers, not through the state budget. This is important as the state legislature has been underfunding our district for years by taking money earmarked for K-12 education and diverting it to other programs (now called the budget stabilization factor; it was previously called the negative factor). Since we have not passed a bond or mill levy override since my now high school senior was in kindergarten, our district is woefully underfunded compared to neighboring districts.
“If you pack it in, pack it out.” Maybe you have been reading about plastic straws. It’s a start. Litter lasts this long: cigarette butts, 1-5 years; aluminum cans, 80-100 years; plastic bags, 10-20 years; wool socks, 1-5 years; plastic bottles, indefinitely. On the way home from the park, Harry and I went to the grocery store. I spotted someone’s butts and ashes in a parking space. Not far off were the remains of a fast-food lunch. Flicking a butt always looks cool and hip in films, don’t she? Fifty percent of all littered items are cigarette butts. Like I said: This is my third and final goaround with delinquencies — or perceived delinquencies. If it were up to me, I’d let it be, go with the flow, tolerate the intolerable,

ave you ever wondered why some of your own tasks and projects get done and yet there are others that seem to fall into the “maybe someday, but definitely not today” bucket? One of the primary reasons this happens for me is because I find myself in avoidance mode and procrastination becomes my destination. And I really don’t enjoy that destination, and I especially don’t enjoy the journey towards the destination of procrastination. So when I look at certain tasks, todos and projects my typical strategy is to categorize each one the night before or as soon as I wake up and start my day. An (A) task means this is one I must do before I do anything else. A (B) rating is something that is important, and I probably need to get to it before the end of the day. And then a project that falls into the (C) category means that if I have had a super productive day and can get to it, I get it done. If not, it usually becomes an (A) or (B) task for the next day. This ABC ranking system has proven extremely helpful over the
years and has helped me to prioritize and complete more tasks and projects than I had in the past. The problem is this (AB) category that has creeped in. The (AB) I am talking about is “Avoidance Behavior.” And with a WINNING heavy travel schedule and experiencWORDS ing a very busy time in my personal and professional life, more and more tasks, to-dos and projects are looking more and more like they should be placed into the “Avoidance BehavMichael Norton ior” bucket. I mean I just don’t have the time. And that is a sad excuse. That “maybe someday, but definitely not today” attitude had to stop. It was flat-out causing me stress as I worried and thought about what needed to get done, and it was taking my focus of my real (A) tasks and projects and my (B) category to-dos.

NORTON FROM PAGE 10
I had to ask myself the big question, “Why?” Why was I, and why am I, avoiding certain things while getting after the others with purpose and passion? The internal dialogue sounded like this, “Are you avoiding this because you don’t have the skill to do it?” Or “I should probably put this into the someday bucket because this conversation is going to be uncomfortable.” And here is my least favorite, “Well you know Michael, if you keep putting this off, someone else will certainly do it.” And that last one is never true. When it comes to doing the things we need to do but avoid doing them because we don’t have the skill, lack the will, or we try and pass it off on someone else, all we are doing is practicing (AB) Avoidance Behavior. Avoidance behavior is a terrible journey and only ends up at destination procrastination. The simple realization for me was that there are things that I enjoy doing and where passion and purpose are easily found to accelerate my behavior. There are other things where I need just a little hope and encouragement and then I am once again hot on my

capital to fund the physical plant... repairs and improvements to plumbing, electric, IT, buses, etc., plus competitive salaries to retain employees in those disciplines. Is this “lavish” spending? Does he defer maintenance items in his own home? Mr. Young appears fixated on the tax increase necessary to fund improvements, an onerous amount of $17 a month, which would force one to forego maybe four lattes monthly. We feel his pain. However, for DC to retain excellent employees and maintain excellent facilities, money must be there. Prices go up, and our children deserve the best we can give them. A vote “yes” in November, with the attendant small cost, will go a long way toward providing that. Additionally, excellent schools are a drawing card to this community, ensuring property values are maintained and that the county keeps its reputation as an excellent place to live. Mike Fullerton Highlands Ranch Keep momentum going A letter printed in your Aug. 16 edition shows why it is so important to get out and vote for the school-funding measures this November. Because if you believe those who supported the previous schoolboard are gone, think again. Yes, there are still some who think DougCo teachers are overpaid, parttime workers. That a district that last passed a local bond or mill levy 12 years ago doesn’t need another. And that those who own a half-million-dollar house can’t come up with 50 cents more per day to invest in the future of
pursuit to getting it done. Now, when I realize I am in avoidance behavior mode, I challenge myself to get after it, get it off the list, and do it better than I ever expected to do it. The byproducts of getting off of the terrible journey of “Someday, but definitely not today” are easily recognized. First, our stress levels go way down. Second, our distractions and lack of focus on primary projects and tasks are abated. And last but not least, our own sense of accomplishment drives us forward to the completion of other tasks, to-dos, and projects. So how about you? Are you on the destination procrastination train as you settle in comfortably to your own avoidance behavior? Or do you have a system that is working really well to get it all done and where you are feeling super accomplished? As always I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we turn our “Someday, but definitely not today” moments into fulfilling our self-accomplishment moments, it really will be a better than good week.

abide the exploitation of decencies, and take the high road, and say, “Right on, worthless dopes and dunces and fools. Don’t mind me. Just be yourself.” Maybe it starts at home like just about everything else. Who hasn’t heard, “Pick up your room”? Analytically, an admonishment like that is embedded with dominance and submission, and there comes a point (an age) when most of us rebel — and we don’t put our belongings where they belong.
If you go to a park - or almost anywhere — there are signs. “Don’t do this, and don’t do that,” and guess what happens? Rules are made to be broken. What feels better than outrunning law enforcement? What feels better than walking an unleashed dog? What feels better than thumbing your nose at The Man? Littering, likewise, is a sign of non-conformity. According to Keep America Beautiful, it costs $11.5 billion to clean up litter in the United States every year. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

our community. Look, I’ll stack my curmudgeon credentials against anyone: I’m 55-plus, a lifelong Republican and soon-to-be empty nester. But I’m also someone who is deeply appreciative of the top-quality education and experience that my kids received from DougCo public schools. How selfish and hypocritical it would be to deny the same opportunity to the next generation of students. I’m proud of Douglas County voters who stood up and righted the mistakes of the past. Now it’s time for that same group to ensure that we keep the positive momentum and provide our schools with the resources they desperately need. J. David Eck Highlands Ranch Time for change in Congress I’m a retired Douglas County professional sharing why I think it is time for a change after generally voting Republican since 1976. No, it’s not Trump (entirely). I’m driven by a deep frustration with the elected Republicans in Congress, who perennially fail to deliver on their election year promises. Oh, they passed “tax cuts for the rich” and that may help the economy. But, even with the presidency and majorities in both houses, they have utterly failed to deliver at all on crucial issues such as: preventing Social Security from going broke, comprehensive immigration reform, fixing VA and providing our veterans with the health care they deserve, funding the nation’s highway infrastructure replacement and upgrade needs, and more. I am just one person who believes it is time to let the Democrats have a chance to end the gridlock. Lee Merritt Parker

oss Erickson, 29, started climbing fourteeners — mountains with more than 14,000 feet elevation — eight years ago when he moved to Colorado. “Illinois doesn’t have any,” he said jokingly about why he waited to climb a mountain of that height. At first, he saw the fourteeners as training hikes for the Colorado Trail, which he was preparing to hike. As the years went on, he advanced to more technical mountains. As a rock climber and a hiker, he was inspired to push his limits. Now, he’s just shy of 50 fourteeners climbed and shares his lessons learned at the REI outdoor school, where he teaches rock climbing, onand off-trail map and compass use, and wilderness survival. For him, the biggest thing he wants students to remember is to always be prepared. “Know your skill level and remember that you are in the mountains and things can get real,” Erickson said. In 2016 and 2017 the Alpine Rescue team, which performs rescues in Clear Creek County, averaged 45

Dawn Wilson, of Alpine Rescue, said that there are a couple things that get people in trouble more than others while they are hiking mountains of that height. “When people go past their ability, that’s when you get into trouble,” Wilson said. “People die. You don’t mess around with these fourteeners.” Wilson reminds people to be prepared with the proper gear, to tell someone where you are going and your estimated time of return, and to
RISKS OF CLIMBING MOUNTAINS Weather Lightning is the greatest external hazard to mountaineering in Colorado. Lighting hits the highest areas — summits and high ridge lines — as well as open meadows. Use the “alpine start” and begin the mountain ascent in the early hours of the morning. This allows hikers to get down the mountain in the early afternoon before storms roll in. The biggest concern with starting that early — when it could potentially still be dark — is making sure you know the terrain and carry a headlamp.

But then people go over to the sawtooth and that is not something to be challenged with if you are not prepared. It’s really technical. SEE PEAKS, P13

Play poses challenging questions
t is not often that a theater company has the opportunity to be part of a play from inception to production, but that’s just one of the things that makes the Athena Project such an important part of the metro art scene — it works to give new playwrights a chance to showcase their work. Such is the case with Athena’s production of “Honor Killing,” written by Sarah Bierstock and developed during the 2017 Plays In Progress Series. Directed by Angela Astle, the show will make its premiere at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept 8 at the Elaine Wolfe Theatre at the JCC Denver, 350 S. Dahlia St. in Denver. The show will then run through Sept. 30 with shows at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays. The show follows COMING New York Times ATTRACTIONS reporter Allisyn Davis as she investigates the honor killing of a young Pakistani woman at the hands of family. Allisyn is denied entrance to Pakistan, but armed with the most current Clarke Reader technology she conducts her investigation remotely from Dubai. “The show addresses brutality against women in both Western and Eastern cultures,” Astle said. “It also asks great questions about the responsibilities of journalists when they’re reporting on a culture that isn’t their own and may not fully understand.” During the Athena Project’s annual festival, “Honor Killing” was selected as one of 250 plays submitted to Plays in Progress, which accepts scripts of women playwrights and develops them through workshops, staged readings and table readings. Astle was a part of that early process and said she’s thrilled to bring it to a Colorado audience after its world premiere at Florida Studio Theatre in Sarasota, Florida. With all the recent focus on journalistic integrity and importance of the free press, Astle said the show will send the audience home with plenty to discuss. “When you’re reading an article, you can’t just take it face value. You need to look at who is writing the piece and why,” she said “It asks us to consider how we tell our stories.” For tickets and more information, go to www.AthenaProjectArts.org. SEE READER, P13

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Gary Clark Jr. at Red Rocks People don’t really talk about guitarists the way they used to in the 1960s and 1970s. When rock was the most important music genre in the world there were passionate debates about who was the true guitar god. That doesn’t happen all that often anymore. If that debate was still going on, one of the top contenders for the title would be Austin’s Gary Clark Jr. A fervent believer in the transformative power of the blues and a guitarist in the style of Hendrix, Clark is one of the unequivocal modern masters of the guitar. He’s released two solid studio albums, but it’s in his pair of live albums where his skills really shine though. His version of “Catfish Blues” is one of the best live recordings of the decade. To experience the real thing, you don’t want to miss Gary Clark Jr. at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 5 at Red Rocks, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway in Morrison. If witnessing Clark’s magic isn’t enough to tempt you, soul singer Valerie June will be the opener for the evening. The owner of one of the richest voices in the genre, June is worth the price of admission alone. To get your tickets, visit www. redrocksonline.com/events/detail/ gary-clark-jr.

Observe Am I in danger (weather, terrain, injury)? How much light do I have left? What can I use for shelter (cave, overhang, snow cave, tree well)? Is there any fuel — how long will it take to gather fuel for a small, but warm, fire? Plan Establish what to do until help arrives, for

RATING SYSTEM CLASSIFIES CLIMBS The Yosemite Decimal System (YDS) is a system used for rating the difficulty of walks, hikes and climbs. Most Colorado fourteeners are a class 1 or 2, ranked for their most difficult section. Class 1: Walking with a low chance of injury; hiking boots a good idea. Class 2: Simple scrambling, with the possibility of occasional use of the hands. Little potential danger is encountered. Hiking boots highly recommended.
Class 3: Scrambling with increased exposure. Handholds are necessary. A rope should be available for people learning to climb, or if you just choose to use one that day, but is usually not required. Falls could easily be fatal. Class 4: Simple climbing, with exposure. A rope is often used. Natural protection can be easily found. Falls may well be fatal. Class 5: Primarily a rock climbing classification system.

Over the last twenty years, Carmel’s artistic style has evolved along with her passion for and spiritual connection to the natural world. Though most of her works have visually realistic components, Carmel draws out the mystery of her subjects by engulfing them in imaginative dances of texture, light and color. Painting entirely with transparent watercolors through the blending of three primary hues, Carmel leaves plenty of the white of the paper untouched to keep her work sparkling with life.

Carmel grew up immersed in the wild beauty surrounding her family’s Colorado ranch, and some of her earliest memories are of trying to capture a bit of the wonder through art. With encouragement from her father, wood and bronze sculptor Bill Walden, Carmel received her BA in Fine Art from Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California, and then moved to Arizona where she found a quiet space to reflect and refine her watercolor skills. While living with the Hopi and Navajo people, she began her Master’s degree in Psychology, taught Expressive Art Therapy, and began fusing her art with her belief in the spiritual benefits of exploring nature. Her career as a professional artist was launched upon returning to Colorado with an array of paintings in 1999.

Shanahan awarded ‘Fire in the Gut’ honor Mike Shanahan was honored with the prestigious award at event
Former Denver Broncos head football coach Mike Shanahan speaks at the Navy Seal Foundation banquet Aug. 16. The foundation is committed to supporting the Naval Special Warfare community and its families.
BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
To the tune of AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck,” five retired Navy SEALs parachuted down to Centennial Airport to kick off the 2018 Navy SEAL Foundation’s Denver Evening of Tribute. The banquet, held Aug. 16, raised more than $800,000 in support of the Naval Special Warfare Community and its families, according to a news release. Former Denver Broncos’ coach Mike Shanahan was awarded the “Navy Seal Foundation’s Fire in the Gut Award,” an honor given to a person or organization displaying the “all-in” quality of serving military families. The award was presented by Nan and Eric Korts, parents of Special Operator, Third Class (SEAL) Jason Dunbar Korts, who was killed in a training accident. Jason Korts was from Highlands Ranch and died in 2015 in a training accident in Southwest Riverside County in California. “So when I talk to you tonight, I talk to you from a background of football, but I guarantee you the success that I’ve experienced is because of the standards the people in this room have

set up,” Shanahan said. “So for me, accepting this great honor tonight and being asked to speak to a group like this, to a team like this and to the people that are here tonight — thank you,” Shanahan continued. “To the people that support the Navy SEALs, I can’t thank you enough.” He then thanked the team of people in attendance and the people who support the Navy SEALs. Master Chief Special Warfare Operator (SEAL) Ed Byers, recipient of the Medal of Honor, then paid respect to 152 Naval Special Warfare members who died since Sept. 11, 2001. Master Chief Special Warfare
Operator (SEAL) Britt Slabinski, USN, (retired), also a Medal of Honor recipient, was the evening’s keynote speaker. “The reason this community is so special is that it knows so well what it bands together to defend,” he said. According to its website, the Navy SEAL Foundation supports personnel and their families and preserves the Naval Special Warfare force through a set of programs designed to improve health and welfare, enhance resiliency, educate families and provide support during times of illness, injury, loss or transition. To learn more, go to www. navysealfoundation.org.

Visions of success
Young pitcher immersed in national pride
I
ing programs at Palisade, Montrose and Fruita Monument, where he guided teams into 18 state playoff appearances in 20 seasons. Castle View teams have gone 1-9 twice in the past three years and the Sabercats have averaged just three wins over the past six seasons. “It’s not that we’re doing anything that other programs haven’t done, but we are trying to get this thing on the right track and it takes a lot of work to do that,” Casebier said. “The thing about work is everyone wants a shortcut these days,
t is amazing how easy it is to remember all the first times in our lives. I can still recall the first time that I really felt and saw public patriotism. Admittedly I used to feel a twinge of nationalism watching the Olympics or “Yankee Doodle Dandy” on television, but I was really surprised while attending a 1980 Colorado Rockies hockey game at McNichols Sports Arena. When the national anthem was played, I can remember everybody loudly singing the anthem and some waving tiny American flags. This was just after the United States’ Miracle on OVERTIME Ice hockey team had won the Olympic gold medal. ThunderRidge sophomore righthanded pitcher Cale Lansville got up close and personal with the feelings of national pride recently Jim Benton as a member of the United States U15 baseball team that won the 10-day Baseball World Cup on Aug. 19 in David, Panama. “It was the best feeling just to win a gold medal for your country and having the jersey on every single day,” said Lansville. “With USA across your chest it really puts things in perspective and it was an honor to represent my country.” It was the first U15 world baseball championship for the United States. Lansville made two appearances, both starts, and was 1-0 with a 2.16 earned run average. He allowed four hits in 8.1 innings pitched, two earned runs with six strikeouts and five walks in his two outings. “It was definitely competitive,” he said. “Some teams did things a little differently. Being a pitcher, I saw than Japan was very selective while the Dominicans were very aggressive early in the count.” The United States went 8-1 in the tournament and downed Panama 7-1 in the title game of the 12-country tournament on Aug. 19. Lansville was dominant in pitching 5.1 innings in a 4-1 win over previously unbeaten Panama on Aug. 14. He faced just one batter over his minimum while allowing two hits and striking out two batters. He started and pitched three innings Aug. 18 against Japan in an 8-2 victory and yielded a pair of hits, two runs, one earned with three strike-

John Trahan comes from Smoky Hill to be the new head football coach at Highlands Ranch. He says winning is about a lot of little things —being on time to practice, doing the right things and not getting too many personal foul penalties. PHOTOS BY JIM BENTON
Six local football teams have new coaches, most of whom are working to reshape culture of the programs BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
O
ne way of defining football culture is how players, fans and others see the expectations for the team. There are six head football coaches in new places at south metro-area programs this season, and culture is a term that surfaced a lot during preseason conversations. Two of the coaches will be trying to overhaul the character of the programs they are joining. A few are tweaking reputable teams and one is trying to maintain the culture of arguably the state’s premier program, Valor Christian. • Todd Casebier is the new head coach at Castle View. • Mike Campbell takes over at Englewood. • Former Valor Christian coach Rod Sherman has replaced Campbell at Arapahoe. • Jeff Ketron returns to the
Former Denver Broncos receiver Ed McCaffrey is the new football coach at Valor Christian and takes over the helm of one of the state’s best programs that has amassed 107 wins in 10 years including only four wins in its first season. Valor has won seven state titles. coaching fraternity as the new Chaparral mentor. • John Trahan will lead the Highlands Ranch program. • Former Denver Broncos wide receiver Ed McCaffrey is the new coach at Valor. Here’s a look at what the coaches are facing as the season gets underway: Casebier “We want to change how we approach the game in all ways, in-season and off-season, which entails a lot,” said Casebier, who has a resume that includes rebuild-

and there isn’t one. Hard work looks the same in 2018 as it did in 1918. You have to go out and do it. “This culture and generation thinks there is this quick fix. And for football, there isn’t.” Campbell Campbell, who was Class 5A Arapahoe’s coach for 15 seasons, is now facing the challenge of restructuring Englewood football, which has gone seven seasons without a winning record and has only two in the past 13 years. The Pirates are playing in Class 2A this season. “When you’ve been coaching as long as I have at a different place, you take for granted expectations, and we are still getting an education here on what expectations look like,” said Campbell. “Englewood hasn’t had a winning record since 2010, so we have our hands full, speaking of culture.” Sherman Sherman was involved in the Valor Christian football program since the school opened, and in five seasons as head coach, he helped the Eagles compile a 57-11 mark with three state titles. He is now the leader of the Warriors program, which was 8-12 the past two seasons. “In the business world, they would tell you it is easier to start a culture than change a culture,” said Sherman. “I would say it’s the same, but our young men at Arapahoe have done an incredible job of getting us to where we want to be. They are meeting the expectations. We can compete with the best in the state, no doubt about it. “Culture is the way we go about our business. Coaches are responsible for the culture. These young men listen to what we are saying.” Ketron Ketron was head coach at Douglas County from 1999 to 2013 and coached the Huskies to the 2005 state 5A title and a runner-up finish in 2007. He inherits a Chaparral program that has had just two losing seasons in the last decade. “The culture was established,” Ketron said. “The school is a winning school with a winning attitude. Schematically, it has been a big difference in what the players had been doing. We have seen a lot of progress.” Trahan Trahan comes from Smoky Hill and

“In the Panama game I felt I really started on top of hitters and mixed my pitches very well,” recalled Lansville. “I established all four of my pitches and threw them for strikes. I threw very well that game. “Then versus Japan, I had some
Former Valor Christian coach Rod Sherman is the new head football mentor at Arapahoe High School, and he says his players have been awesome and have accepted coaching that has included some new stuff. He also pointed out that he isn’t doing anything different than he did in his previous coaching position.

He says he is taking over a program that is in good shape and the winning culture has been established.
takes over a team that has advanced the past two seasons into the 5A state playoffs. “Changing culture of what has been in the past is about what will keep them at a certain level of success and then helping them take the next step forward,” said Trahan. “In this program, there are a lot of really gifted athletes. Changing the culture of team discipline has been the biggest key to everything we’ve had to do.” McCaffrey McCaffrey has watched his four sons — including Christian, who nearly won the Heisman Trophy at Stanford and is now a standout NFL running back — compete on the gridiron for Valor. His youngest son, Luke, is a senior quarterback and will help his dad in his first venture into high school coaching. The Valor culture is well established, with seven state titles in 10 seasons. The Eagles have played in the state championship game in eight of the past nine seasons. McCaffrey was not available for comment for this article.
trouble early with establishing my fast ball. I had to go with my off-speed stuff more and I think that’s where things kind of went wrong.” Lansville was a regular for ThunderRidge last season as a freshman, pitching 41 innings with a 0-1 record and 2.22 earned run average. He is looking forward to next spring after his summer of facing international competition. “My goal every time I go out there
to get better,” he said. “I always want to take something away and improve myself. The biggest thing I took away from this summer was just the responsibility that I now have being a USA baseball player and representing my country. When I got back to school everyone was excited for me. They were following on livestream.” He has a couple memorable souvenirs from the Panama tournament. “My favorite thing I brought home
was a baseball with all my team’s players’ names on it,” he said. “Now I have lifelong friends that I will keep in touch with. We got to keep the white jersey. I’m going to definitely frame it and hang it up.”
