The City of Lone Tree has selected three finalists for police chief from among 78 who applied for the position, which has been open since Jeffrey Streeter retired in June. “We need to have somebody who understands our community now, but also helps us achieve the city vision going forward,” said City Manager Seth Hoffman, who will make the decision on which candidate to hire. “We have a very specific idea of what Lone Tree is and what it should be, and we want to continue that success.” City officials would not release the names of the finalists or any information about them as of press time. Streeter served for 24 years at the Lakewood Police Department before being hired as Lone Tree’s second police chief in 2013. Streeter’s annual salary at the time of his retirement was $127,600. Cmdr. Ron Pinson has filled the interim role since June. Applications for the position, which oversees a 49-officer department, came in from across the country, city officials said. The department serves 13,000 residents, and 17,000 people work in the city. A hiring manager narrowed down the pool. SEE POLICE, P5

SARAH HEATON
Art lover, dog mom, adventure seeker Diving into her community I moved here from Florida a few years ago. I have been working at the Douglas County Library here in Lone Tree for a little over a year, and I also live here. I live with my dad and his wife. My best friend from Florida and I moved into a separate apartment in their place. I’ve recently participated in the Lone Tree citizen’s police academy. I am an arts commissioner at the Lone Tree Arts Center. I serve on Douglas County Art encounters and South Suburban Parks and Rec committees. Public art is a thing for me. A love for music I am a musician. I played piano a lot and started playing when I was 5. I don’t play a lot any more. I kind of got out of the habit and it is intimidating to jump back to it. I make these mistakes and say to myself ”I am better than this.” Singing and playing is still a passion. When I was still in Florida, I played for worship at my church. I am going to get back into it; it is just taking me a while to settle back in. Dog mom of the year We have dogs and cats. We are a big happy family. The dog is mine.

On a recent morning, Lela Perkins worked to organize shoebox donations piled up at a booth near the front entrance of her Parker church. Inside each box were toothbrushes, toothpaste, school supplies, soap, hard candy and stuffed animals. Perkins is the collection center coordinator at Southeast Christian Church in Parker for Operation Christmas Child, which sends shoeboxes filled with Christmas gifts to impoverished children from ages 2 to 14 around the world. Samaritan’s Purse is a nonprofit Christian organization that partners with churches worldwide to help those affected by poverty, war, natural disasters, disease and famine. On Nov. 15, two large trailers sat in Southeast’s parking lot, waiting to be filled with the shoeboxes. The trailers would be taken later to a center in Aurora for further processing. The processing center, one of a handful in the country, inspects packages from Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah for prohibited items such as liquids, breakables or military-related objects. Many of the boxes go to war-torn countries, Perkins said. Southeast served as a central location where individuals and other churches and organizations with satellite drop-off locations can bring the shoeboxes. One of those locations is Ridgeline Community Church in Castle Rock. Congregation members Joan Hollen-

bach and her son Josh have a longstanding family tradition of dropping off shoeboxes. They always pack one f box for a boy and another for a girl. d Among the gifts in their boxes f were marbles, cards, candy, crayons, colored pencils, socks and, as usual, a f letter from Josh. t “All little things that we sort of take s t for granted,” she said. s Once, in the 10 years they’ve donated shoeboxes, someone wrote them b back. The first official day for Operation w Christmas Child donations was Nov. e e 14. But Southeast had already received more than 200 boxes the previous Saturday and Sunday. By the end of Nov. 14, the number had climbed to nearly 500. The national collection week ran from Nov. 14-21. Southeast gathered the donations from Castle Rock, Parker, Monument and Elizabeth. Shanda Brabec, area coordinator for those communities, said the area goal was 14,750 boxes, up from what the approximate 13,000 donations received S last year. w “We will probably get close to 2,000 i this weekend,” Perkins said on Nov. 2 15. c Southeast has participated in the l program for seven years, starting first p by holding packing parties. “I signed up for a two-hour slot and this is what it has become,” Perkins said with a laugh. Brabec is wrapping up her first year as area coordinator, but also has volunteered for many years. “I’ve been packing shoeboxes for over a decade,” Brabec said. She and her daughter have also volunteered at the processing center. The women say they’re in it for the goodwill it brings. “The entire purpose,” Perkins said, “is obviously to let children know that they’re loved.”

School district rolls out three eco-friendly buses The new vehicles use compressed natural gas, ‘the cleanest-burning fossil fuel’ BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Bright sunshine and a clear blue sky were an appropriate backdrop for the Douglas County School District’s presentation of three environmentallyfriendly buses as part of a sustainability plan to make a brighter, cleaner future for its students. Douglas County High School students joined representatives from the district, Noble Energy, Black Hills Energy and the Regional Air Quality Council outside the school on Nov. 16 to bring “on board” three new buses, powered by compressed natural gas (CNG). “This is our planet and our community, and it’s our job to take care of it,” said Layla Baden, a ninth-grader taking an environmental science class at the school. Ken Lloyd, executive director for the Regional Air Quality Council, said CNG buses are a healthier alternative for members of the community than diesel-burning counterparts. “These are the buses that are going through our neighborhoods, these are the buses that are idling at our schools,” Lloyd said, adding that “children are the most vulnerable” people to suffer the effects of air pollution. “Compressed natural gas is the cleanest-burning fossil fuel,” said Courtney Kuntz, sustainability director for the district. “It’ll improve air quality for students, drivers and people in the area.” In addition to cleaner air and financial savings for the school district, Kuntz said in her address that learning about the environment benefits students in the classroom, leading to better attendance, improved academic performance and a sense of empowerment. Kuntz went on to say that to say that seeing the buses on the road every day will provide “realworld learning” for the students and visible evidence of the district’s efforts to protect the environment. “We’re creating an innovative environment and
One of three new CNG-powered buses purchased by the Douglas County School District stands outside Douglas County High School on Nov. 16. The buses are expected to save thousands of dollars a year in fuel costs in addition to providing cleaner and quieter transportation for students. TOM SKELLEY getting students to think outside of the box in response to pressing environmental issues,” Kuntz said. Noble Energy Development Manager Curtis Rueter added that the buses will improve the district’s bottom line. He said the new buses will save up to $4,000 per bus in annual fuel costs, a potential $60,000 savings for each bus over their expected 15-year use. After receiving more than $250,000 in grants from Noble Energy and the Regional Air Quality Council, the new buses cost the district $200,706, a 16-percent decrease from the cost of comparable,
used diesel buses. Douglas County schools serve more than 70,000 students, and a shortage of buses and drivers has forced the district to change schedules and routes to mitigate the issue. Donna Grattino, the districts’ director of transportation, pointed out that the shortage isn’t unique to Douglas County. She added that although three buses aren’t enough to solve the problem, every bit helps. “Our goal is to have more in the fleet,” Grattino said. “Everybody worked so hard to make this happen, now we know how to do it.”
POLICE: City seeks chief with a background in community policing FROM PAGE 1
Six finalists, all from Colorado, were selected to take part in panel interviews on Oct. 24. Representatives from the community, city departments and law enforcement comprised the panels. After a further vetting process,
three were selected as finalists. The city is in the process of checking references and conducting more extensive background checks. Hoffman is looking for specific qualities. “We are looking for somebody with a broad law enforcement leadership background; someone who has managed different aspects of law enforce-
ment, particularly a background in community policing,” Hoffman said. “As a leader in the organization, we are looking for someone who inspires the department to do their best work every day.” Lone Tree’s assistant to the city manager, Torie Brazitis, said that what the selection really comes down to at this point is the fit of the
individual with the Lone Tree community. The goal is to hire somebody by January. “We are certainly taking our time to do it right,” Brazitis said. “Fit is really important. This is a special community, and we want somebody who understands and maybe has experience somewhere similar and is excited about us.”

Proposed addition to plan encourages renewable water use by developers BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Douglas County is encouraging housing developers to use more renewable water sources. The county held a late afternoon public workshop on Nov. 14 for proposed changes to the county’s water zoning plan. Conversation was diligent and thorough, despite a sparsely attended meeting of six people in addition to
county staff. The exact portion of the plan under review is Section 18A, which helps determine if a proposed development has an adequate water supply, particularly in terms of quality, quantity and dependability. Douglas County’s Board of Commissioners first adopted 18A in 1998, but it has been revised in 2002, 2005, 2007 and 2013. County experts said the regulations are primarily for new housing developments or properties seeking to rezone for reasons like expansion. Additionally, they mostly pertain to unincorporated Douglas County, as most municipalities or other water districts have their own regulations. SEE WATER, P7

Highlands Ranch resident helps craft hospital holiday card BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY
Rock Canyon High School peer counselors — student confidants for other students — are acknowledged at a parent assembly on Nov. 15, which kicks off a Kindness Campaign, a year-long focus on creating a more friendly climate and culture in the school. ALEX DEWIND
Kindness is contagious at Rock Canyon Campaign aims to encourage students to reach out BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY
At the beginning of the school year, Marlaine McMechen, a counselor at Rock Canyon High School, asked her peer counselor class to pick what they thought were the school’s top three issues. The majority chose feeling isolated, cliques and making and keeping friends. So McMechen decided to take action. She and her students brainstormed the Kindness is Contagious Campaign. “I said, ‘You know what, we need to do something about this. This isn’t OK,’ ” said McMechen, who has
been in education for 18 years. “Where is the kindness in the world?” McMechen brought the idea to the Vortex, a group of staff that meets weekly about the school’s climate and culture. They were on board. On Nov. 15, students at Rock Canyon High School, 5810 McArthur Ranch Road, attended an assembly to kick off the campaign, which is in conjunction with Rachel’s Challenge, a program named after Rachel Joy Scott, the first student killed in the 1999 Columbine High School shooting. She believed that kindness is a chain reaction. The program’s mission is to make schools safer and eliminate bullying and violence. “You could have heard a pin drop in there, which is rare in an assembly,” McMechen said. Parents were
invited to a similar presentation that evening. The Kindness is Contagious Campaign involves monthly meetings in students’ homerooms along with projects, including flags and social media hashtags such as #RCFamily. The school is working on “Kindness is Contagious” wristbands that teachers can pass to students when they see a kind act, or that students can pass to one another. “We are asking kids to be kind,” McMechen said. Josh Wright, a Rock Canyon junior and peer counselor, is optimistic about the campaign. “There is a lot of negativity going on,” he said. “I hope to see people being nicer to each other, thinking about their actions and being more accepting and open to one another.”
When Highlands Ranch resident Kate Blakeman was 5 years old, she was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia, a type of blood cancer. The timing was just six weeks after her family had moved to south metro Denver from Chicago. She was in treatment for about two years and spent about four weeks at Children’s Hospital Colorado. “They did a phenomenal job of taking care of her,” her mother, Kathleen, said. “You do feel like family.” Blakeman, now 12 and more than five years cancer-free, likes to sing, read and bike ride with her dog. She also loves to draw, specifically animations, people and animals. This year, her drawing of Steamboat Springs — the Colorado ski town that her family visits almost every year — will be featured on Children’s Hospital Colorado’s annual holiday cards. “It’s a cute little town,” Blakeman said. “Over the streets they have wreaths and bows. It’s just so pretty with all of the snow.” Every June, patients or former patients of the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children’s Hospital Colorado create holiday artwork. In August, staff and parents vote for three favorite drawings. There is also an open house for representatives who are interested in sponsoring a drawing for the holiday season. Winning designs are made into cards and sold online and throughout the community. All proceeds go to the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. This year, Blakeman was one of seven artists selected. She started brainstorming her design several months ago.
Kate Blakeman, 12, shows off one of her art pieces. Blakeman was picked as one of Children’s Hospital Colorado’s holiday card artists for 2016 for a festive drawing she created of Steamboat Springs. ALEX DEWIND
TO BUY A CARD To purchase one of Children’s Hospital Colorado’s holiday cards, visit www.holidaycardproject.org. All proceeds go to the hospital’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. Her mother encouraged her to take anything she loved and incorporate a Christmas theme. So Blakeman chose one of her favorite ski towns. She crafted a street lined with colorful buildings covered in blue snowflakes. Blakeman, a snowboarder, made sure to include a “Ski and Board Shop.” The holiday art contest is as rewarding for participants as it is for the hospital’s staff. “We’re honored to sponsor this annual contest which allows our sponsors to recognize these children for their creativity, and shares the artists’ inspiring outlook with the community through the holiday cards,” said Kathleen McBride, director of Association of Volunteers at Children’s Hospital Colorado.
WATER: New developments encouraged to utilize renewable water sources FROM PAGE 6
The main changes in Section 18A were to remove about 15 pages of repetitive sections and more clearly explain if a developer would qualify. But staff also has proposed Section 18B, an entirely new set of regulations that will act as an alternative to Section 18A. As the resolution stands, developers must meet a water demand standard of .75 acre-feet per residence per year. A demand standard is an estimate of how much water a household or
development will need, said Kati Rider, a planning resource supervisor with Douglas County. An acre-foot is how water is measured. One way to think of it, Rider said, is to imagine it as the equivalent to the amount of water that would spread across an acre of land at one foot deep. However, county staff said, the average household uses closer to .40 or .45 acre-feet. The .75 standard is costly for developers and may require them to source more water than necessary. “This revision may matter to resi-
dents as it may be a way to encourage new development to utilize renewable water resources, rather than groundwater, in all areas of the county,” Rider said. Under 18B, developers could propose higher-density developments if they also promise to use less groundwater, rely on more renewable water sources and prove they can accomplish that goal. Not more than 50 percent of the water supply could come from nonrenewable sources. Although the overall amount of water use might
be greater, the hope is to encourage a more environmental approach. If the amendments continue to gain traction, they would pass before the Planning Commission and the Board of Commissioners for final approval. Public comment is accepted at www.douglas.co.us through Nov. 23. Information about the amendments may be found through the county’s Project Records Online (PRO) online tool. Commissioners will schedule a work session to review the input after public comment closes.

Douglas County School Board rescinds latest voucher program Officials come to decision because of concerns about mounting legal costs BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Douglas County Board of Education has voted 7-0 to rescind its School Choice Grant Program because of rising concerns about the cost of defending it against ongoing legal challenges. With the newest voucher program gone, all litigation concerning it will also go away. The program had effectively been suspended since the spring, and no students were using it. “There is a grave concern about the cost running up and we do have an obligation to our taxpayers,” board
member Anne-Marie Lemieux said at the Nov. 15 school board meeting. The amount of money the district has spent on defending the program was not available by press time. In March, the school board amended and renamed its original vouchLemieux er system, the Choice Scholarship Program, to prohibit money from being used at religious schools — a point that led to litigation against the prior program. Judge Michael Martinez of the 2nd Judicial District stopped the newest voucher program Reynolds Aug. 3. Martinez granted the injunction filed by Taxpayers for Public Education, a group that, accord-
‘There is a grave concern about the cost running up and we do have an obligation to our taxpayers.’ Anne-Marie Lemieux, Douglas County School Board member ing to its website, is a Colorado-based, bipartisan organization made up of taxpayers and parents of children enrolled in public schools. Martinez found that the School Choice Grant Program was fundamentally the same as its predecessor, and that it was covered by the same injunction that halted the earlier version of the program.

“I know where this is heading and it is not heading in the direction of my child being able to go to the school that they want to,” school board Vice President Judith Reynolds said Nov. 15. Board President Meghann Silverthorn said rescinding the second program does not change the district’s commitment to school choice and that the district is awaiting the fate of the original program, which has faced legal challenges and is waiting to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. “This is perhaps not the best way forward,” Silverthorn said. “I think there are better programs than this to provide school choice to our families.” The voucher dispute dates to 2011, when the school board approved the Choice Scholarship Program. Designed to accommodate 500 students, it allowed students’ parents to use stateprovided, per-pupil money toward tuition at private schools, including religiously affiliated institutions. Taxpayers for Public Education subsequently filed a lawsuit against the district to stop it. A Denver judge halted the program that same year, but in 2013, a state appeals court reversed that decision. The state’s top court in June 2015 issued a ruling saying using public funds for religious schooling was unconstitutional, again halting the program. The district filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court in September 2015. Taxpayers for Public Education officials said they are pleased that the board of education has recognized “the futility of trying to legally defend its revised voucher program, and has voted to rescind that program.” “However, DCSD continues to defend its original, unconstitutional voucher program in the courts and to divert scarce public school resources to that improper purpose,” the group wrote in an emailed statement. “TFPE urges the DCSD Board to take action to rescind its original voucher program as well, and to turn all public school resources back to the goal of educating the public school children of Douglas County.” Board member James Geddes reiterated the district’s commitment to choice and the original Choice Scholarship Program. “I am very much in favor of implementing the Choice Scholarship Program and having it be a success,” Geddes said. “I support the concept and I hope to see the Supreme Court will make a decision that will send us down that course.”

A lawyer for the American Humanist Association argued in a courtroom Nov. 16 that the Douglas County School Disrict has a track record of promoting Christian causes, violating the Constitution.
A school district lawyer countered that no students were forced to participate in the events that led to the AHA’s lawsuit two years ago, and that the programs were secular in nature. The lawyers presented oral arguments before the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in a case revolving around the promotion at two schools of a Fellowship of Christian Athletes mission trip and supply drive to aid people in Guatemala. The incident took place in 2014 at Highlands Ranch High School and Cougar Run Elementary, where a supply drive was held. In addition, a flier and email promoting the effort were sent to students and families at a
number of schools in the district. The plaintiffs in the case are identified in court documents as John Doe, Jack and Jill Roe — who have two children attending school in the district — and Jane Zoe, on behalf of her son, who was a student at Cougar Run in Highlands Ranch at the time. Zoe argued that her son was taunted for not believing in God after he declined to participate in the program, which the AHA said took place during school hours. The plaintiffs’ real names were not available. The lawsuit names as defendants the school district, the board of education, former Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen, Cougar Run Elementary Princi-
pal John Gutierrez and former HRHS Principal Jerry Goings. Fagen and Goings no longer work for the district. The American Humanist Association — a group that says it works to ensure the separation of church and state — filed a lawsuit against the Douglas County School District on Oct. 22, 2014. The AHA said the district’s program was in violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of and from religion. David Niose represented the American Humanist Association and Eric V.

Happy Thanksgiving after Thanksgiving — and keep on being thankful
E
WINNING WORDS
very year it seems like the Christmas music starts earlier and the holiday promotions and advertising start even earlier. I mean, we barely get past Halloween and we are quickly immersed in the chaos of the Christmas holiday. Now don’t get me wrong, I truly love Christmas and I give thanks for the true meaning of the holiday, I just wish that somehow we could minimize the commercialization of the holiday and get back to what it is really all about. With that said, how many of us fall victim to that same rush and crush of the holiday? Has Thanksgiving become just another holiday sandwiched in somewhere between The Fourth of July and Christmas? Maybe we allow it

to happen or we just don’t know how to stop the wave of promotions and hype that have taken over the holidays. I mean, here we are on Thursday giving thanks and then waking up at 3 in the morning to tackle “Black Friday.” For me, Thanksgiving is one of my very favorite holidays. Not only because we get to be with family and friends and enjoy the amazing meals and desserts, but also because we are intentionally put in a position to give thanks for all we have and to express gratitude for all of those people who are so very near and dear to us. And for many of us, our favorite part of the holiday is the access to those scrumptious leftovers. Turkey sandwiches, turkey soup,

was taught new skills to help me become even more adept. Thanks to my upbringing and work in the construction business, we constantly solved problems by creatively implementing new solutions. When you’re in the field with limited resources, your creativity soars. In corporate America I further honed my abilities to do this. One soon learns the best laid plans by the “experts” is good for a day or two. Life begins to happen. Decisions are changed or postponed, parts show up late, and designs are modified. Rather than get all worked up over these events, I had absolute confidence we would succeed. I viewed them as a challenge and flowed with
the new information. To me it was like solving a dynamic jigsaw puzzle — the fun was in seeing how all the necessary pieces could be put together to meet the original goal. I quickly learned the benefits of asking powerful-versusdisempowering questions. Empowering questions are: • How can this help me? • How can we use this to our advantage in achieving the goal? • What is the lesson? How can this make me better? Disempowering questions are: • Why is this happening to me? • What else can go wrong? • What am I going to do now? SEE BOTT, P13

So if we can enjoy the benefits of the leftover turkey, why can’t we seem to remember to enjoy the benefits of appreciation and giving thanks after Thanksgiving has come and gone? Leftover gratitude, I love it!

thankfulness and food. I am thankful for the memories of my mother and father, for my friendships, and for the Rolling Stones. I am thankful that none of my friends makes quotation marks in the air with their fingertips. I am thankful that my name is not Ken Bone or Helen Twelvetrees. I am thankful that I didn’t invest in Chipotle. I am thankful that “Seinfeld” is no longer in production. “Oy, Martha.” For one entire day, midnight to midnight, I will be a sweetheart. Nothing is going to bother me. When it comes to my neighbors, I will say to myself, “It could be worse. They could be raising dingoes in the back yard instead of weeds.” Of course, Thanksgiving can be an opportunity for a dysfunctional family to look at each other across the table and get out the scrapbook. “Did not.” “Did too.” “Drop dead.” “Pass the mashed potatoes, then drop dead.” SEE SMITH, P13

SMITH: Don’t tell me when it’s time to celebrate someone or something FROM PAGE 12
I am thankful for the humble ellipsis … An ellipsis allows me to say something without saying anything. I am thankful for the internet, because it enables me to cobble together one of these columns, and give the impression that I am knowledgeable, when actually I can only name six state capitols.
Or is it “capitals”? That’s an old joke: What’s the capital of Ohio? It’s “O.” I am thankful that dogs don’t hold it against us, what they have been through, when we adopt them. I just learned that my mother had something called “reactive attachment disorder.” I wish I had known sooner. My mother was adopted, but not soon enough. By the time she was adopted, she felt
unwanted and unloved, even though she was wanted and loved. She protected herself by criticizing others, perhaps before they could criticize her. We had several epic Thanksgivings when I was Holden Caulfield Jr. On the other hand, Smitty forgave or forgot the two owners ahead of me. Thankfully. I am not crazy about being told when to celebrate someone
or something. That goes for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Valentine’s Day. That’s someone’s idea of making a penny. I was asked to draw the fifth grade Thanksgiving mural at Eberwhite Elementary School in Ann Arbor, Michigan. There are no photographs of it, and if there were, I’d try to suppress them. I’m sure that I drew pilgrims and Indians, and picnic tables.
Badly. I didn’t know it at the time, but it was the start of something that became my life. Making art. I am always thankful for that too. “He almost sounds human sometimes, Martha.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.
BOTT: Friends and family can help remind us all of how to be thankful FROM PAGE 12
You see that disempowering questions quickly put you into a tail-spin and do not help in finding a solution. It’s amazing how many people continue to behave this way even though they have years of experience. They develop a victim attitude. When this happens, they’re basically whipped and have little if any chance of success. Stress levels rise, tempers flare, and blame is thrown about. Empowering questions put you into a positive frame of mind. Your mind-set is one of “I’ve got this” or “we can make it work.” During our lunch break in Corporate America, we created a solutions game. We would see how many different solutions we could come up with based upon the current fixed knowns. Nothing was off limits — any idea was valid no matter how crazy it seemed. We discovered that someone’s goofy idea would oftentimes trigger a great idea by someone else. All of this is part of the
solution process. At the time I didn’t realize the importance or benefit in this way of thinking. I viewed it as a fun game to stretch our imagination. It wasn’t until later that I understood we were building our lateral thinking muscles and teaching ourselves to connect the dots in different ways. This “game” is one I still play. I recently read in “The Obstacle” by Ryan Holliday that in a study of 208 old/new military campaigns, only 2 percent of the successful battles were accomplished via attacking the enemy at its strong point. The overwhelming majority of successful battles occurred by finding new solutions and connecting the dots in different and unexpected ways. When you find yourself at wits end, when you feel stuck and are out of ideas, when your stress level is skyhigh, this is the time to take a breather and connect the dots in a different way. The answer is staring you in the face, but you’re stuck in rigid views of the

cup of coffee, a workout, maybe a little Bible study, getting to work, handling our tasks and to-do’s, stopping by our favorite lunch place or enjoying our lunch made at home. What if we built in time to our daily routine to recognize and appreciate what we have been blessed with in this life, including all of the wonderful people in our lives? I love being at the dinner table at Thanksgiving and hearing what everyone has to share regarding what they are most thankful for. I too get caught up in the ceremony of the day and maybe get a little too amped up about what I am thankful for. But more than the holiday, I enjoy the halo effect of Thanksgiving. I love to be re-inspired to give thanks and show gratitude wherever and whenever possible. To me, the Thanksgiving holiday is kind of like New Year’s Eve. On New Year’s Eve, most of us get inspired to set new goals, drop bad habits, and renew our interests in meaningful work or activities. Thanksgiving is the same in that it should inspire us to maintain the spirit
of gratitude for the next 365 days. And you see, just like New Year’s Eve where some people establish goals and quickly lose interest within a few days, people who celebrate Thanksgiving and share their appreciation on that day seem to quickly forget their blessings as they rush into the end of year priorities and holidays. Staying committed to an attitude of gratitude takes work,and that is why we must build it into our daily routines and internalize the importance of showing gratitude and appreciation. So how about you? Is Thanksgiving a “one-and-done” holiday for you or do you use it as a time of year to renew your passion and intent around being grateful for everyone and all things in your life? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com. And when we can give thanks after Thanksgiving, it really will be a better than good week.

LAWSUIT: Douglas County School District lawyer says students not forced to participate Hall represented the school district. The district argued “a secular supply drive took place for secular reasons and that no religious content took place at the school.” Hall also said students were not forced to participate and that Zoe’s son was able to opt out. “Receiving the flier and email had no coercive effect,” Hall said. Niose argued that the school district was promoting a mission that had a goal of converting people to Christianity. He also said the affilia-
tion and joint promotion with FCA made it obviously not secular. Niose said the Douglas County School District has repeatedly promoted evangelical Christian programs, such as Operation Christmas Child — a holiday toy drive sponsored by a Christian group Samaritan’s Purse — despite warnings. “This is a school district that has an extensive record of promoting a Christian mission,” Noise said. It was not known when the judges from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals would issue an opinion on the case.

LIFE Childcare alternatives gain popularity Au pair programs offer cultural exchange opportunity BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
F
ederica Foltmann snuck around her living room couch on a recent afternoon in her Castle Pines home. Hiding around the corner was the 6-year-old girl she nannies. When Foltmann caught up, the shy but curious girl buried her face into Foltmann’s stomach and gave her a tight hug. Foltmann hugged her back, talking to her in Italian-accented English. It’s all in a day’s work for the 20-yearold Brescia, Italy native, and all part of the experience in coming to the United States to work as an au pair. Au pairs are a type of in-home childcare provider. The option is one some Denver metro families are choosing over more traditional methods like day cares, relying on relatives to babysit or nannies. Au pairs differ from nannies in that they are typically young adults who have come to the U.S. to care for children as part of a cultural exchange experience. Numerous agencies place au pairs in the city and suburbs. The logistics of each program vary. In general, however, au pairs live with the family and work up to 45 hours a week. The host family provides food, a private bedroom and sometimes amenities like cars or cell phones. Foltmann and her host family worked through the agency Cultural Care Au Pair, a nationwide au pair agency run by host parents and former au pairs. Jennifer Morrow, the Cultural Care Au Pair representative for Castle Rock and Castle Pines, said au pair programs can be an educational and economical alternative. Annual costs include registration, processing and program fees and a stipend paid directly to au pairs, totaling nearly $19,000. Nick and Laurie Lazarou, another family using the Cultural Care Au Pair program, have employed au pairs for seven years. Both work demanding jobs and Nick travels often. Having a livein au pair provides them with stable childcare, they said. It also makes time management easier. “We didn’t need to structure our ability to do things based on the availability of other people,” Nick said. The couple and their two children moved from Los Angeles to Castle Pines in the past year. Here, they don’t have relatives to help out, which makes the au pair program all the more useful, they said. When Morrow took over the region in

COLORADO’S COST OF CHILDCARE Locally: Child Care Innovations at Red Rock Community College published data that found the cost of childcare in Douglas County in particular is high.
Statewide: Child Care Aware of America found that for 2016, the cost of center-based childcare for infants in Colorado was $14,950. For fouryear-olds, it was $11,089.
• Compared to Adams, Arapahoe, Denver and Jefferson counties, Douglas County had the highest average cost of childcare in both centers and family-based settings for January 2015.
The organization published a study for 2015 comparing the cost of childcare in the U.S. by state. The non-profit focuses on lowering the cost of childcare and furthering education.
• Infant care cost an average of $318 a week in centers. Familybased care cost an average of $206 a week.
The report evaluates factors such as the percent of a family’s income that childcare absorbs and the cost of center-based child-
care. Some of its findings are: • The study placed Colorado in its list of the Top 10 Least Affordable States for Center-based Infant Care in 2014. Colorado ranked No. 5. for center-based childcare for infants. As for center-based care of 4-year-olds, Colorado ranked No. 7 for the least affordable state. • The annual cost of infant centerbased care in Colorado was $13,154. • The annual cost of center-based care for families with an infant

May, five families were working with au pairs. Now, there are 12. How the program works Au pairs and families in Cultural Care Au Pair are matched through what resembles an online dating service. Once a family, which is personally interviewed by Morrow, is approved for the program, they can browse online profiles of au pairs. Likewise, families create a profile for au pairs to learn about them. When families narrow down their candidate pool, they’ll often Skype with au pairs and conduct interviews. It’s a two-way street, Morrow said. Both families and au pairs must pass background checks and meet program regulations. The mutual selection process aims to make for good matches and ensure au pairs and families will get along. Her agency sources au pairs from approximately 25 different countries. They seek out the program for numerous reasons, Morrow said. Some au pairs are taking a gap year before purSEE CHILDCARE, P17

Growing up in a record store enhances listening skills
any people say they grew up in a musical family, but I almost always get a few raised eyebrows when I tell people I literally grew up in a record store. My mother owned LINER Wheat Ridge’s NOTES Budget Tapes and CDs for more than 20 years, and I’d often spend nights and weekends there, getting lost among the stacks while she worked. I started working there when I was 16 years old, and it was my job Clarke Reader throughout high school. When she sold it to Angelo’s CDs and More in 2005, I stayed on and worked during college. Every day was devoted to music — helping people rediscover an old favorite or pointing them to their new musical obsession. I was constantly listening to the latest releases and stumbling across important groups to fill in gaps in my musical knowledge.
More than that, I found another family among my coworkers — people with whom I could comfortably argue about the best Bob Dylan album and share what was happening in my life. I miss all of this, and a thousand other little moments that made up my time there. But, as today is Thanksgiving, I also want to express my gratitude for these experiences. This year has been marked by anger, resentment, apprehension and anxiety, in large part driven a particularly vitriolic election. Now that it’s over, it seems many people are feeling worse than before, struggling for something to feel grateful for this holiday. My advice is to honor something simple and personal that fills you with gratitude. For me, that is the record store. My time there taught me to listen. Not just to music, but to my fellow employees and customers. Thanks to my manager Tony and colleague Stephanie, I got into rap music. Because of the tastes of Cody, another employee, I delved into new areas of jazz and indie rock. And working with Wendy for years showed me the pleasures of `80s music and torch singers.
CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: A Tribe Called Quest’s “We Got It From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service” released on Epic records. Review: Just like David Bowie and Leonard Cohen’s releases this year, A Tribe Called Quest’s final album (and first in 18 years) serves as a good-
bye. The group lost lyricist and driving force Phife Dawg in March, and remaining group members Q-Tip and Ali Shaheed Muhammad send him off in towering style. “We Got It From Here…” contains the same lyrical fireworks and sonic adventurousness that always drove the trio. It’s a lovely parting gift and
glorious coda to a groundbreaking career. Favorite song: “We the People…” Best nod to the future: “Talk to Joey, Earl, Kendrick, and Cole, gatekeepers of flow/ They are extensions of instinctual soul.”
nity to interact and learn from those who think differently. And, to quote Penny Lane from “Almost Famous,” “If you ever get lonely, just go to the record store and visit your friends.”
At the time, I wasn’t interested in most of these genres. But I’m so glad I had the opportunity to learn from others and widen my perspective. I can’t even count the musicians I was turned on to based on recommendations and conversations with customers. The ability to enhance and expand one’s thinking is one of the great powers of music, and the same goes for getting to know other people. Both are going to be so important as we face the challenges ahead. So, be grateful you have the freedom to listen to any music that moves you. Be grateful that you have the opportu-

CHILDCARE: Families are supposed to pay toward educational classes FROM PAGE 16
suing higher education. Others hope to improve their English or simply want to travel. For families, Morrow said, it provides dependable childcare. On both ends, she said there’s opportunity to learn about other cul-tures and form lifelong friendships. The programs are not without controversy. Cultural Care Au Pair families must pay their au pairs a stipend of $195.75 a week. Divide that by the 45 hours au pairs work, and you get a wage of $4.35 an hour. Lawsuits sprung up in 2015 against several agencies in Colorado, including one involving an au pair in Highlands Ranch. The lawsuits alleged that au pair agencies violated Colorado’s minimum wage law. The agencies said minimum wage wasn’t required because room and board was provided by the families. Morrow is well aware of that history. But, she said, she’s never been aware of au pairs in her region being taken advantage of. In addition to the stipend, families are required to pay at least $500 toward educational classes, like community college courses, for their au pairs. ‘The perfect family’ Foltmann was happy with her experience and has chosen to extend her one-year stay by another six months. “I actually found the perfect fam-

She makes breakfast, gets them dressed and takes them to school. She picks up the youngest at about noon and watches him the rest of the day. Normally, she said, parents pick up the oldest from school. They all enjoy dinner together. Foltmann can use the car, has the basement to herself and can have friends over to stay the night. She’s also vacationed with the family to places like Chicago, Hawaii and Florida. And, she said, she’s made a lifetime connection with her host family. “When you are in the other part of the world and you know that here there is someone that you love and they love you — that’s amazing,” she said.

(Look for the sign.) The collective of local artists and educators offers one-of-a-kind functional and sculptural ceramics, paintings, mixed-media artworks, jewelry and herbal products. They will donate 10 percent of profits to Project Angel Heart, an organization that provides meals to Coloradans with life-threatening diseases. Artists who will exhibit and sell their work include Mary Lynn Baird, Deanna Hood, Mar Knight-Hall, Janet Moore, Emily Van Nest Markovich, Stephanie Thomas and Julie Vinclette.
THE SOSU POP-UP GALLERY will be at Broadridge Shopping Center, South Broadway and Ridge Road, Littleton.

Stephanie Wilson Thomas creates hand-built ceramic abstract/figurative
sculpture and functional ceramic work for the home and garden. She says her work is “earthy, organic, quiet, intuitive and a touch whimsical.” Emilia Van Nest Markovich of Centennial is a contemporary pastel painter and mono print collage artist, who draws inspiration from nature and the environment, using layers of chalk pastel color and gold leaf. Janet Moore works in mixed media, combining painting, drawing and collage in contemporary and traditional themes.

A Valor Christian’s Ryan Thibault (13) pulls in a catch and is brought to the turf by Grandview’s Sterling Blanford (21). Thibault managed four catches for 98 yards as Valor went on to win the 5A quarterfinal 66-35 at Valor Stadium on Nov. 18. PAUL DISALVO
Valor will face Creek in semis BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Valor Christian students who were still around for the end of the Class 5A quarterfinal football game on a cold Nov. 18 night started chanting, “We want Creek.” That’s the team the Eagles will play again in the state semifinals in a 1 p.m.game at the Stutler Bowl in Greenwood Village on Nov 26. Defending state champion and thirdseeded Valor Christian, leading 31-28 at halftime, scored 35 unanswered points in the second half and romped to a 66-35 victory over Grandview at Valor Stadium. Cherry Creek advanced into the semifinals with a 34-17 upset victory over Mullen, which gives the No. 7 seed Bruins homefield advantage in the semifinals. Valor, which will be playing in a state semifinal game for the eighth consecutive season, and Creek are familiar opponents. The Eagles elimi-
nated the Bruins, 20-10, in the 2015 state semifinals and Creek won the 2014 state championship with a 25-24 triumph over Valor. On Sept. 29 this season, Valor went into the Stutler Bowl and earned a 42-26 victory over the Bruins. Many expected that the Eagles would be facing No. 2 seed Mullen instead of Creek in the semifinals with revenge on their minds after the Mustangs whipped Valor, 41-10, on Sept. 9. Now, the Eagles’ mindset has to change. “You (have) to change your emotions and get ready to play,” Valor coach Rod Sherman said of the semifinal game. “For us, it’s just such an honor being in the semifinals for the eighth straight year, be able to put a banner in our gym, and that’s a pretty cool thing. And more than anything to be able to practice on Thanksgiving is a great blessing. I’ll have dinner at my house later in the day. ”I don’t know that the 16-point win over Creek was indicative of the game
. It was nip and tuck all the way until the end. They have a couple players now they didn’t have earlier... You can always count on Creek that they are going to come physical and they are going to come hard.” Key moments Grandview held a 21-17 lead with 7:53 to play in the second quarter, but the Eagles scored 14 points in seven seconds to regain control. Running back Easton Cecil capped a 63-yard scoring drive with a 32-yard touchdown run and Brian Brogran’s extra point kick pushed the Eagles ahead, 24-21, with 4:54 left before halftime. Grandview fumbled the ensuing kickoff and Valor’s Payton Polson recovered. Quarterback Dylan McCaffrey then connected on a 33-yard TD pass to Ryan Thibualt at the 4:57 mark and after the conversion kick, Valor had quickly turned a 4-point deficit SEE FOOTBALL, P25
KEEPING SCORE WITH... DAVID OPHEIM What is your favorite movie? “Miracle.” Because it is such an inspirational movie that focused on one of the greatest moments in sports history for the United States. The movie transcends athletics and illustrates a victorious outcome that was accomplished through struggle and unbelievable odds. What is your favorite pre-competition meal? Gogurt. Because I am always watching my weight and I can eat a lot of gogurt and get different flavors. Plus, it’s good soft or frozen.
Opheim
Who is your favorite professional or collegiate athlete? Dan Gable. Because he was the greatest wrestler and coach ever. Hardcore and humble.
Why do you participate in sports? Because I can create my own destiny. I will get out what I put in. I am in total control of the outcome. Do you have any pre-competition superstitions or rituals? Yes, I pace. I pace and pace and pace. I don’t know why I pace, I just pace. What are your plans for after high school graduation? I will be attending Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota, to wrestle and pursue a degree in elementary education. I want to be a teacher and coach because nearly all of the influential people in my life outside of my family have been my teachers and coaches. I want to have a positive impact on kids and make a difference in their lives. Plus, I want to have summers off so I can fish!
KEEPING SCORE WITH... is a Q&A with high school athletes in the south metro area. Email sports writer Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com if you or some you know would llike to participate.
lumni reports are always difficult because you don’t want to overlook somebody who should have been mentioned. But here goes an attempt to highlight OVERTIME some former area high school players who are doing well in collegiate athletics. • Wyoming’s football team has numerous Colorado players on its roster, including sophomore free safety Andrew Jim Benton Wingard from Ralston Valley. Wingard leads the Mountain West Conference with 9.9 tackles a game and is 12th nationally. He is the NCAA’s leader in career tackles per game at 10.05 and career solo tackles per game at 6.36. Connor Cain, a sophomore from Heritage, has started nine of 10 games at defensive tackle and Drew Van Maanen, a junior from Chaparral, is listed as the starting fullback when the Cowboys have one in their offensive formation to start a game. • Senior offensive guard Alex Kozan, a Valor Christian graduate, has started 37 games at Auburn. • Olabisi Johnson, a sophomore from Bear Creek, is Colorado State University’s second leading receiver this season with 20 catches for 340 yards and two touchdowns. Sophomore Wyatt Bryan from Douglas County is the Rams’ placekicker and senior Paul Thurston, an Arvada West graduate who transferred from Nebraska, is the starting left guard. Jakob Buys, a junior from Ralston Valley, is a starting defensive tackle for CSU. Junior Jake Bennett from Bear Creek is the Rams’ standout center. • The University of Colorado also has several players from area high schools who have seen game action, with senior Auburn transfer Shane Callahan of Chaparral, who played in 13 games in 2015, starting on the offensive line for the first time Nov. 12 against Arizona. • Valor graduate Christian McCaffrey, the 2015 Heisman Trophy runnerup, remains the all-purpose player to watch this season at Stanford. And former Valor quarterback Luke Del Rio, a redshirt sophomore, sprained his knee, but the Gators starting quarterback expects to play Nov. 19 against LSU. • According to an October story, MaxPreps listed the Colorado high schools with the most players on 2016 college football rosters at the D-I, D-II, D-III and NAIA levels. Valor topped the inventory with 31 players followed by Cherry Creek with 30, Grandview with 24, Columbine with 18 and Pine Creek with 17. Ralston Valley and Cherokee Trail had 16 each.

Athlete thrives on competition Klein honored for second year in row after leading league BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Parker Klein was a marked soccer player this season but the Ponderosa senior still succeeded. After leading the Continental League in scoring as a junior with 20 goals and 49 points, he once SOUTH METRO again was ATHLETE the top OF THE YEAR: scorer in BOYS SOCCER the league during the 2016 season with 17 goals and nine assists, despite heavy defensive pressure from opposing defenders. “I dealt with that a little bit last year and a lot this year, but I loved being marked because it brings out the best of my play, just knowing there is a guy always following me and waiting for me to do something,” said
Klein. “It really propels my game to the highest level because I know I have to beat that guy and do what I have to do to get the ball and make things happen.” For the second straight season, Klein has been named the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Soccer Player of the Year. Ponderosa coach Jim Engels maintains Klein is the best player he has coached in 17 seasons. “I took on a much bigger leadership role this year,” explained Klein. “Losing a few guys that were the leaders last year really gave me a chance to step in and lead by example. “The season went really good. I felt good again this year. I had a good year last year and I was really excited to build upon that and improve myself as a player and leader.” Klein, who is still undecided about a college choice, declined an offer to play U.S. Soccer Development Academy soccer this fall. “I chose to play high school soccer this year,” he said. “I was offered an Academy spot and that might have dampened my recruiting efforts a little
BENTON: Committee puts focus on winning percentage FROM PAGE 24
• And looking ahead to basketball, keep an eye on CU senior Derrick White, a Legend graduate who transferred from CU-Colorado Springs. At the University of Denver, junior Jake Pemberton from Mountain Vista and sophomore Thomas Neff from Arvada West could be a couple of the area players that could have an impact. Ciera Morgan, a junior from Highlands Ranch, will be one of the leaders for the Pioneers’ women’s team.
Ponderosa’s Parker Klein is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Soccer Player of the Year. COURTESY PHOTO
bit, but at the end of the day I chose what was right for me and what’s going to bring out the love I have for the game. I still think I made the right decision choosing high school.”
More recommendations All the Colorado High School Activities Association’s sports committees are coming up with recommendations about such things as exploring changes to postseason formats and ugh, possibly adding another class, which would be awful. Last spring, baseball was the first to use the Ratings Percentage
Index for postseason berths, but the committee recommended a welcomed change in the formula to put more emphasis on a team’s winning percentage. Regional tournament recommendations in Class 5A include having only two teams from the same league host tournaments. No changes were made to the pitch-count rule in baseball, but hopefully CHSAA will come up with a way to avoid the couple conflicts that occurred last season. Having small pitch-count scoreboards like the one used by Douglas County High School sure seems like a way to avoid disagreements in games before the final out.

FOOTBALL: Focus will be the key factor in upcoming semifinal contest FROM PAGE 24
into a 10-point lead. The Wolves scored once before intermission but then Valor dominated the second half. “That’s kind of how football works,” McCaffrey said. “Momentum switches hands just like that.” Key players/statistics Valor finished with 542 yards of total offense, averaging 10.6 yards per play.
Support your local paper!
McCaffrey, the Michiganbound senior, took advantage of man coverage. He completed 13-of-16 passes for 238 yards and three touchdowns. He was also the Eagles’ leading rusher with 98 yards on six carries and had a 51-yard scoring run. Easton Cecil and Joshia Davis each had two rushing touchdowns for Valor. Thibault caught two scoring passes and McCaffrey’s younger brother, junior Luke, had six catches for 130 yards and a touchdown. Jack Walley led the Valor de-
fense with nine tackles while Noah Ellis and sophomore Ethan Semla each had eight for the Eagles. Grandview’s Hayden Blubaugh finished with 136 yards rushing and three touchdowns. They said it “It was a better second half than first,” Sherman said.” They really gave us some great shots in the first half. We just missed some plays. We felt confident that we could come
back.” Dylan McCaffrey said short passes were part of the game plan and that focus will be a key to the upcoming semifinal contest. “They were a man-coverage team,” he said. “A team that brings a lot of pressure and you are just going to have to check down to the flat sometimes.” “It’s hard to beat a team twice in one season,” he added, referring to Creek. “We need to come out with that focus.

Tennis champ credits maturity for sports success
Hillis takes honors after winning 5A state crown BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Ethan Hillis played with maturity and confidence this season, and Cherry Creek’s No. 1 singles player posted a 15-0 record with all straight set victories. He also was crowned the Class 5A state champion at No. 1 singles and helped Cherry Creek win the team title for the sixth consecutive year and 42nd time in 45 years. Hillis, a senior who will play tennis and attend Amherst College next fall, has been named
the 2016 Colorado Community Media Boys SOUTH METRO Tennis ATHLETE Player of OF THE YEAR: the Year. “I BOYS TENNIS thought the season went really well,” said Hillis. “I was playing confidently. I had a lot of confidence in myself that I would be able to do well all year and take state. I was playing consistently throughout the whole year.” Hillis didn’t play high school tennis in 2015 and believes the year off helped him grow up after a disappointing finish to his sophomore campaign with the Bruins. He won the No. 3 singles state
championship as a freshman and was the runner-up at No. 1 singles during his sophomore year but the state finals ended after a point penalty was dealt to an emotional Hillis. “I was still playing last year, I just didn’t play high school tennis just for the time and academic stakes,” explained Hillis. “I felt my mental game was much improved this season versus sophomore, junior and freshman year. “I was mentally stronger. It did take a lot of work but I think a lot of it was just maturing and just getting older. Obviously changing anything is difficult, especially personality and just mentally more so than anything else.

40 minutes to down Overland’s Dawid Kijak, 6-0, 6-1, in the Oct. 15 finals at the Gates Tennis Center. He felt the hardest matches this season were against his friend Casey Ross of Kent Denver, the No. 1 player in the United States Tennis Association’s Intermountain Boys 18 singles rankings. Hillis downed Ross, 6-4, 6-3,
on Sept. 17 and followed Sept. 21 with a 6-2, 6-3 victory. “The toughest matches of the year were against Casey Ross,” said Hillis. “He’s ranked No. 1 in the USTA and I’m ranked two. He gave me the toughest matches but I beat him both times I played him this season. I’ve always played well against him. He brings out the best in me. I just elevated my game.”
