jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Up-tempo pop music blasted through the University of Denver’s Cable Center, adding to the excitement as numbers raced across a massive screen. High school students pondered the constantly changing information, the expressions on their faces at times gravely thoughtful and at others lit with excitement. This year’s Junior Achievement Stock Market Challenge drew 1,229 students from 42 Colorado schools for two mornings of frenzied, simulated stock market trading.
Each team participating in the Nov. 6 and 7 events started with $500,000 of mock stock funds invested in multiple fictitious companies. The event condensed two months of trading into an hour, with each trading day lasting 60 seconds. Mountain Vista High School’s Team 1 came in third overall during the two-day event, behind teams from Boulder and Monarch high schools. The Highlands Ranch students grew their portfolio by 123 percent to more than $1.1 million. The fast-paced learning environment requires students work together efficiently. Adding to the excitement and confusion, adult event leaders infrequently left a news announcement reflecting fictitious world events and developments on each table, occurrences to which students react as stock prices fluctuate. “I’m still kind of confused,” admitted Lone Tree
resident Lexie Quail, a student at Valor Christian. “But it’s very interesting. I’m thinking of a career in accounting or finance.” “It’s a really good experience (for getting) to know the business world,” said Valor classmate Michael Herring, also of Lone Tree. “I’m excited.” The 11th annual event was at maximum capacity, said Junior Achievement-Rocky Mountain spokeswoman Kim McGrigg. “The financial world is growing so much, and companies are leaving so much of the decisionmaking up to the individual,” she said. “This kind of education is imperative. You also need to know about the stock market even for understanding the world economy.” Other Douglas County teams included Castle View, Douglas County High, Highlands Ranch, Ponderosa, Rock Canyon and STEM high schools.

Town budget includes big projects Spending plan includes $67 million for capital improvements By Mike DiFerdinando

Since there are no new property taxes, the owner of a $300,000 house still would pay about $40, or up to 2.29 percent of their total property tax bill. The only proposed cost increase is an additional 82 cents per household on monthly water bills. “This is a capital-intensive budget, which has been the case for the town for many years because we are doing so many major capital projects or completing many major capital projects,” Town Manager Mark Stevens said.
High school seniors throughout Colorado refused to participate Nov. 5 and 6 in a statemandated test. Many school leaders, parents and students hope the expected low participation rate sends a clear message about what they believe is excessive standardized testing. “People don’t always listen to educators, but they do listen to parents and students,” Cherry Creek School District spokeswoman Tustin Amole said. “This may be very helpful in letting policy makers know how parents and students feel.” A state education official said the student response likely will result in significant discussion. The first week in November was the beginning of three weeks of state-issued social studies and science tests for high school seniors called the Colorado Measures of Academic Success. Colorado students in fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth grades underwent CMAS testing in spring 2014. The online test is a partial replacement
The proposed 2015 budget for the Town of Castle Rock calls for no tax increases for homeowners. Big projects this coming year include Legacy Water, the North Meadows Extension and the new Philip S. Miller Park.

Drone store lands in Castle Rock Remote-controlled aircraft range from $45 to $10,000 By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com As the four-rotor white helicopter circles the top of the iconic outcropping that gives Castle Rock its name, it sends back nearly crystal-clear images to its remote control down on Perry Street. After a final pass around the star, the laptop-sized craft makes its way over the trees and cars and settles gently down on the sidewalk across the street from the fire station. Drones have landed in Castle Rock. “There’s something about being able to fly something that is so visceral,” said Kerry Garrison, co-owner of Castle Rock’s first drone store. “When you get something up in the air, there’s just a different feeling about it.” Garrison and business partner Josh Gilson have opened Multicopter Warehouse at 399 Perry St. “Most people have seen remote-control planes or helicopters, and that stuff has been around for years and years. The technology isn’t new. These quad copters and things aren’t really new. I’ve been flying them for five years,” Garrison said. “The technology now makes it accessible. It allows anybody from a child to a senior citizen to be able to pick one of these up and fly it. The appeal is the ease

of use.” Garrison and Gilson began selling drones online a little more than a year ago after developing a love of flying them as a hobby. “They’re so hard to come by here in Colorado and there aren’t many places online where you can get everything from or that had the stock we wanted, so we thought, `Why don’t we just do this? Why don’t we do a little site online?’ That’s how we started,” Garrison said. Business began to grow and soon the pair was taking orders from law enforcement officials and firefighters. “We had so many local people wanting to come by and get stuff. We were working out of our garage at the time and it just wasn’t conducive to business,” Garrison said. “We were starting to sell higher-end stuff and meeting with law enforcement officials and firefighters and we decided that we really needed a place to meet.” Both Castle Rock residents, the pair decided that the town would be a perfect location for a shop, as they could attract business from Denver as well as Colorado Springs. Prices for the souped-up remote-controlled aircraft range from a basic $45 model to custom rigs that cost more than $10,000. According to Garrison, Colorado is a great place to fly drones because there are very few laws restricting their use. In Colorado, there are three basic places where you cannot fly: national parks, state parks and parks that are controlled by Denver Parks and Recreation. According to Garrison, aviation officials start to ask questions when flight exceeds 400 feet. Castle Rock currently has no laws restricting the use of remote-control helicopters. “In Castle Rock there are basically no restrictions,” he said. “It comes down to responsible flying.” Increasingly, Garrison said he has been selling to police and fire departments. “In the Springs, they’re using them to monitor controlled burns on Pikes Peak,” Garrison said. “Sending a full-sized helicopter up there would cost them thousands of dollars an hour.” Garrison said farmers have used drones to monitor livestock and builders have used them to inspect roofs for leaks. There are concerns from some about privacy, however.
Thank You...
We are so uplifted and moved by our Parker Community, our Crossroads Community Church Family, our Chaparral High School Family, Statewide Dance and Poms teams, Miller Dance Studio...the list could go on and on. Your outpouring of love, support and prayers have been such a comfort during this unbelievable time. Your donations, flowers and cards have been a beautiful inspiration to our family and we can’t thank you all enough. Our sweet, sweet Taylor was a delight and joy and we were so blessed to have been chosen by God to be her family for 17 years. She was our shining light, rarely dimmed. Through organ donation, she saved 5 lives...She will forever be our hero and in our hearts forever. We miss her terribly, but know that she now dances with Christ and that gives us a peace that passes all questioning or understanding. She may be gone, but will never be forgotten. There are no words that are adequate enough to let you know how very much we appreciate all you have done for us. Thank you for your continued prayers.

Photos by Mike DiFerdinando “There are certainly people who are concerned about privacy and people parking outside of their windows, but you can’t do that,” Garrison said. “First off, you have to have line of sight to be able to control it. Second, they
sound like a lawnmower. They’re not quiet. There’s nothing stealth about these things by any stretch of the imagination. This is no different than pointing your cell phone across the street.”

Castle Rock hopes to make downtown more accessible for those who are physically challenged by using grant funding to improve the access to shops and restaurants. “A lot of our downtown alleyways are historic in nature or are very tight sight areas and it makes it very difficult at times to retrofit the buildings and meet ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990) compliance through the front of the building,” said Castle Rock project manager Marty Hudson. “So many of our buildings now, including many of our restaurants, have a lot of ADA access points in the rear areas of the buildings. What we are finding is that we need to improve those areas so that someone who is using that ADA access would have the ability to navigate the community in that area.” Town council voted 7-0 on Nov. 4 to approve an application for a federal Community Development Block Grant totaling just shy of $97,000. Councilmembers hope the grant would help to improve accessibility throughout town, including on town land adjacent to Douglas County buildings and public spaces in Castle Rock. Improvement to these alleyway spaces also supports the town’s downtown master plan, which aims to enhance the economic viability of the downtown area. This grant application is the town’s second application for alleyway improvements. In 2013 the town was awarded just shy of $153,000 in CDBG funds, to start work on the alleyways. Community Development Block Grants are provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and are used to benefit low- to moderate-income people, prevent or eliminate slum and blight conditions, and address urgent community needs. The new application is due Nov. 21 and is for the 2015-16 funding cycle. These funds will be awarded for the time period of Aug. 1, 2015, to July 31, 2016. It is anticipated that the construction timeline will be in the spring of 2016. The CDBG program operates on a reimbursement system.

Highlands Ranch resident Harold Henthorn was arrested without incident on Nov. 6, one day after being indicted on first-degree murder charges. Henthorn, 58, is accused of causing the 2012 death of his wife, who was killed in a plunge off a ledge in Rocky Mountain National Park. Following his arrest, Henthorn made his initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Kathleen M. Tafoya, and he was advised of his rights and the charges pending against him. The defendant was scheduled to appear in court again at 10 a.m. Nov. 12 for a detention hearing and arraignment. The U.S Attorney’s Office for Colorado said in a news release that it would ask the court to detain the defendant pending trial and that evidence might be presented at the Nov. 12 court date. Henthorn is accused of acting with premeditation in the death of his wife, Toni Henthorn. If convicted, he faces a mandatory term of life in federal prison without the possibility of parole, as well as a fine of up to a $250,000. “The United States Attorney’s Office will work tirelessly with the National Park Service and the FBI to ensure that justice is done for the victim and her family,” said U.S. Attorney John Walsh. The National Park Service and the FBI, both of whom assisted in arresting Henthorn, investigated the case. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office also provided assistance during the investigation and arrest. Because the case is before the court, the sheriff’s office has no comment at this time.

A K-8 performing arts-themed charter school is moving slowly through the approval process, aiming for a fall 2016 opening. Parker Performing Arts School (PPAS) would accommodate 676 students, whose academic experience would include daily involvement in the performing arts. The project was initiated by the founder of Ben Franklin Academy, Jason Sanders, who also is proposing to launch the county’s first high school-only charter school, John Adams — possibly in Highlands Ranch sometime in the next two years. Sanders, a patent attorney; John Carson, former Douglas County School Board president, CU Regent-elect and fellow attorney; and real estate broker Travis Cottle all are on the boards of directors for both John Adams High School and PPAS.

Tax laws undermine legalization of pot Lack of deductions may prove crippling to stores By Katie Kuntz
Rocky Mountain PBS I-News
The Nov. 4 elections meant sweeping victories for the marijuana industry nationally, but in Colorado, the outcome was more of a mixed bag. Alaska, Oregon and the District of Columbia legalized recreational marijuana, while only some communities in Colorado chose to expand businesses. Voters in Manitou Springs and Federal Heights passed initiatives allowing retail marijuana shops to operate, while voters in Lakewood, as well as Palmer Lake and Ramah in El Paso County voted against recreational sales. Nearly 100 new businesses received their licenses from Colorado regulators on Oct. 1. Yet many of these new, voter-approved pot shops may find it difficult to survive a drug war-era tax code that already threatens many established businesses. Under the code, the federal government stands to make more money from the sale of marijuana than those legally selling it. And that could be enough to shut down many shops. “It’s almost like they want us to fail,” said Mitch Woolhiser, while walking through his store called Northern Lights Natural Rx in Edgewater. “Everything I do is aimed at keeping us in business because if I don’t, then (the feds) win. And I’m not going to let them win.” Woolhiser believes the federal government is actively seeking to undermine his business. Woolhiser first opened shop in 2010, selling medical marijuana. He started selling recreational pot when it became legal in Colorado at the start of this year. Last year, his business didn’t earn a profit. Had ested he been selld on

ing anything but cannabis, he would not have owed federal income tax, as he ended up with a loss. Instead, he ended up paying close to $20,000 to the IRS because of a 1980s tax code called 280E. “I believe that the feds extend the drug war through 280E,” said Jordan Cornelius, a Denver accountant who has worked with Woolhiser and many other marijuana companies in Colorado. “If (the federal government) can’t put them out of business legally when voters are mandating these businesses to move forward, it’s very easy to put them out of business financially.” Whether the government is actively enforcing the punitive code in an effort to undermine the legal marijuana business remains unclear. The Justice Department, Drug Enforcement Administration and Internal Revenue Service declined comment. However, an IRS spokesperson provided a 2010 letter written in response to several lawmakers in Colorado, Massachusetts, Arizona and California who had asked the IRS to stop enforcing the tax code in states that legalized the sale of medical marijuana. The IRS letter pointed out that only Congress could make that change. “The result you seek would require the Congress to amend either the Internal Revenue Code or the Controlled Substance Act,” the IRS letter said. Though multiple members of Congress received the letter, there has been little effort to amend the code. Instead, the federal government collects taxes on what it considers an illegal drug because the Supreme Court ruled more than 50 years ago that everyone has to pay taxes — even those who make their money illegally. Then, in 1982, Congress amended the U.S. tax code to include 280E, which says businesses selling a Schedule I or II drug — like marijuana, heroin, methamphetamine or cocaine — cannot deduct all of their regular business expenses. The rule means that the “costs of the product,” like the soil and fertilizer used to grow plants, are deductible. But the “costs of selling,” like advertising, rent and utilities — even salaries for employees — are not deductible.
Vicki Murgach, a shift manager at Northern Lights Cannabis Co., rings up a customer’s order at the marijuana shop in Edgewater on Oct. 31. Photo by Joe Mahoney/ Rocky Mountain PBS I-News “If it made sense, I would feel better about following it,” said Rob Corry, Denver attorney and marijuana advocate. “I don’t see why production is deductible — they are still producing marijuana!” But that quirk in the tax code has helped many cannabis companies stay in business in Colorado. Medical marijuana stores were required to grow their own product, and therefore had some associated deductions. As of Oct. 1, cannabis companies are no longer required to grow the products they sell. But without growing, many may soon find that they will have very few, if any, business deductions when filing federal taxes next April. “A lot of people think that the marijuana industry is just a license to print money,” said Taylor West, deputy director of the National Cannabis Industry Association. “And it’s just not the case.” West works for an association of more than 750 cannabis-related businesses across the United States, and says that 280E results in her clients paying more than 70
percent of their profits in taxes to the federal government. Sometimes, the rates are far higher than that. “A lot of times, instead of paying a tax rate that should be 30 to 40 percent, they are paying rates between 80 or 90 percent,” said Cornelius, the accountant. “I even have a client right now that is paying more than 100 percent effective tax rate.” Mac Clouse, a University of Denver finance professor who studies the industry, said the status quo creates an inherent and perhaps fatal conflict. “The problem is that we have passed laws that allowed these medical marijuana and recreational marijuana companies to do business,” Clouse said. “But we have all these other laws, tax laws, federal laws that make it incredibly difficult if not utterly impossible to survive.” Colorado Community Media brings you this report in partnership with Rocky Mountain PBS INews.

CMAS Continued from Page 1
for both the original Colorado Student Assessment Program, administered until 2011, and the Transitional Colorado Assessment Program, issued in 2012 and 2013. Those exams were designed to test third- through 10thgrade students’ math, science, reading and writing skills. A separate CMAS test, the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College & Career, will test third- through 11th-grade students in reading writing and math beginning in spring 2015.
Seniors added to testing schedule
CMAS adds social studies to the list of subjects and comes with another twist: It added seniors to the list of those expected to take the six-hour test. Castle View High School senior Rachel Decker is among hundreds who didn’t take the CMAS assessment at her Castle Rock school. As an outgoing student, Decker said the test won’t benefit her academically and has no bearing on her future plans. “My parents were in full agreement with me,” she said. “I know only about 50 students who actually took the test, and some of them just made up answers or drew pictures in the (test) bubbles.” The decision to add testing at the 12thgrade level was in part because the exams are designed to test knowledge acquired throughout high school, said Joyce Zurkowski, the Colorado Department of Education’s director of assessment, and to allow schools control over when in the four-year high school schedule to offer the instruction. But she said state officials knew scheduling a standardized test for seniors was a gamble. “We knew we were approaching a line with the fall of 12th grade,” Zurkowski said, but added the options appeared limited. “I don’t think (the students’ response) was completely unanticipated. In the long run, I don’t know that it will stay at fall of 12th grade.” In the future, Zurkowski said state assessments may be made more meaningful, perhaps by linking them to higher education or post-high school work places. “Long term, will kids have to take both the ACT and PARCC in Colorado?” she said. “I don’t know.”
Logistical challenges in DougCo
Student investment in taking the tests isn’t the only issue. Both the number of computers and the length required for CMAS testing presented high schools in Douglas County with challenges. Castle View, Rock Canyon, Chaparral and Douglas County high schools gave underclassmen two half-days Nov. 5 and 6 to accommodate the testing. Schedule changes also were expected Nov. 12 and 13 during testing at Highland Ranch, Mountain Vista and ThunderRidge high schools. Make-up test dates also were designated. Despite the accommodation, many Douglas County School District seniors either let
The student parking lot at Rock Canyon High School was absent its usual number of cars the morning of the Nov. 5 CMAS testing. Many seniors at high schools statewide opted out or simply didn’t show up to take the standardized test. Photo by Jane Reuter school leaders know they were opting out of the Nov. 5 and 6 tests, or didn’t show up for them. Several DCSD principals contacted about students opting out of CMAS testing did not return calls to Colorado Community Media, and the district referred questions on CMAS to state education officials. Several Castle View parents, students and teachers said well over 50 percent of the high school’s students did not attend the sessions. Some seniors at the other DCSD schools that scheduled tests for Nov. 5 and 6 also opted not to participate.
Shared concerns Testing is set for Nov. 13 and 14 at high schools in Cherry Creek and Boulder Valley, where leaders said student unrest is clear. “There’s been quite a bit of conversation about students opting out,” Boulder Valley Superintendent Bruce Messinger said. “I’ve met with students. They’ve communicated with me. I’m not upset with the students. These are very high-performing students — these aren’t students who are motivated to skip school. Most of them will be in college (when results come back). “If it were of great benefit to them individually or to our school district, we might take a stronger stance. I’m not going to force the students to take a test.” At Cherry Creek, Amole said the district is requesting only that parents notify the school of the absence if a student chooses not to take the test. Amole said student discussions reflect those of parents and other adults concerned about excessive testing. “We need to respect our kids,” she said. “They are adults, or nearly adults, and need to make choices for themselves about what they think is the best thing for them to do.”
Impacts for schools Colorado Department of Education officials said they need 95 percent of students at
Students and parents united in anti-testing stand Castle View seniors view non-participation as a form of protest By Jane Reuter
jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com Castle View High School seniors Rachel Decker and Andrea Alfano joined hundreds of classmates in not attending school the mornings of Nov. 5 and 6 for the state-mandated Colorado Measures of Academic Standards assessments. “We’re all in a way protesting,” Decker said. “That’s how we see it.” “There’s a huge amount of us that are not taking it,” added Alfano. “Most of the seniors got their parents to sign them out of it. It’s taking us out of our classes to do something that’s really not helpful to us. We won’t get our results until we’re already in college, so there’s really not any benefit to it.” Alfano’s and Decker’s parents agreed with the students’ decision not to participate in the six hours of assessments. “We think seniors have enough on their plate with jobs, ACT tests, family life, college applications,” Kollette Decker said. “They don’t need any more testing. It’s just getting out of hand.” “The schools for years had standardized testing, but it always ended in soph-
omore year, so there was none junior and senior year,” Laura Alfano said. “It’s hard enough to get them invested in their senior year in the first place. This is not against the principal or the school. It’s just a waste of time.” Aside from concerns about the tests’ relevancy for seniors, Laura Alfano said the time reserved for the lengthy, online assessments takes away from class time. “Right now, her toughest class is AP Literature,” she said. “With this testing, she will miss two days of it.” That includes instruction to prepare for the AP Literature exam. “A test she will take eventually that will matter and will earn her college credit,” Laura Alfano said. Rachel Decker and her mom plan to write a letter about their testing concerns to state legislators. “I don’t have a whole lot of faith in the Legislature but we’re going to try,” Kollette said. Andrea Alfano said she understands lack of student participation could impact the school’s rating. “If I were to take the test, I probably wouldn’t do well because it’s on things I don’t take and haven’t been taught,” she said. “I’m not saying we don’t care about the school because we’re graduating. But the school’s rating shouldn’t really be determined by seniors who are leaving that year.”
each school to participate in the test to ensure they have accurate data, a figure set by federal legislation. The data helps education leaders make state, district and school-level policy decisions, according to the CDE. Without that participation rate, a school’s performance framework rating could drop one level. The state’s performance framework includes four levels, ranking a school’s academic achievement and postsecondary readiness, among other factors. Schools are not impacted financially by test participation percentages. Districts can, however, file a request for reconsideration if a school’s rating changes. They must then provide evidence to the state of a good-faith effort to test all students.
The state already knows that at least some students are taking the tests. As of 10:30 a.m. on Nov. 6 — with two more weeks of testing to go — Zurkowski said seniors had completed 25,000 assessments. If every student took the test, the CDE would receive 110,000 assessments, she said. Messinger said Boulder Valley will make a good-faith effort to administer the test. He’s optimistic the student response could prompt change. “Our hope is over time our state board of education and Legislature will listen to this input, and maybe consider a better balance,” he said. “We aren’t saying there isn’t any need for assessment. This just seems like way too much for us.”

It’s all good and there’s no problem, y’know? Geez, these are only suggestions. I hope you didn’t think that any of this stuff was binding. Stop signs. Speed limits. Turn signals. Carry-on baggage policies. “Please turn off your cell phone.” They don’t say, “Or else.” “Dogs must be on a leash when off of the owner’s property.” Certainly this doesn’t apply to everyone. “Dog owners must pick up and properly dispose of their dog’s defecation both on and off the owner’s property.” Are you kidding me? I read somewhere that a dog owner commits a Class 2 petty offense if, “The dog’s owner fails to prevent his or her dog from disturbing the peace of any person by loud, habitual, or persistent barking, howling, yelping, or whining.” What’s wrong with a little non-stop barking? “No person shall stop, stand, or park a vehicle within five feet of a public or private driveway.” My neighbors are in the clear. The ones who think they are living in a frat house. Party, dudes. “No solicitors” sign on someone’s door? It’s just a proposal, not an ultimatum. “The number you are calling is on the National Do Not Call Registry. If you are a solicitor, please hang up, and remove this number from your call list.” Heck no. Who doesn’t want to be called by a politician’s aide? “No skateboarding.” Ha! “No shirt, no service.” Try telling that to Scout Willis.
Rules, rules, rules, what are they good for? Absolutely nothing. Etiquette? I’m no Emily Post. I had a gettogether and someone I didn’t invite showed up and ate most of the little sandwiches. Emily would have frowned on that, but not me. I feel the same way when someone cuts in line, or cuts in front of me on the highway. Everything is beautiful (in its own way). I was listening to an Up With People album one afternoon, and there was a knock on the door. Two young men were standing on my porch, holding out pamphlets. I love pamphlets. Both of them were dressed so nicely, in white shirts and ties. And I could see their bicycles in the driveway. Now, I know that some people refuse to welcome these fine young people. Not me, brother. Elbows off the table. Don’t talk with your mouth full. Don’t play with your food. If God didn’t want me to play with my food, why did he invent mashed potatoes? Don’t run with scissors.
Kindly take notice of bid for kindness Are you kind? No, seriously, are you kind? You would probably agree that most of us would consider ourselves kind. And we may have even been told by others just how kind we are from time to time, and maybe even all the time. Now certainly there are levels of kindness, right, I mean some of us are just kinder than others. These are the folks that are born with a stronger kindness gene and just can’t help themselves as the kindness pours out of them. And we have all heard the terms like “Random acts of kindness,” or the slogan, “Kindness, pass it on.” Some might see these or hear these and feel they have been diluted over time or just ignore them as background noise, and idle niceties. What if our kindness was purpose driven and intentional? Let me share with you an example of what that might look like. First let me share that Dr. Jill Pechacek, a Colorado physician and very close friend of our family, was recently diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. You may have seen her story on television, as most of the networks have covered her amazing attitude as she goes into battle. It’s her attitude of kindness that is truly
amazing. First let me share a little bit about Dr. Jill. Our family has known her for more than 15 years and she has helped us through every cold, cough, sniffle, tummy ache, broken bone, headache, flu, virus, disease and illness that our family faced over the years. And regardless of how sick we were, we always received the warmest hug and biggest smile as we were treated. And all her patience would tell you that she never rushed you in and out of the exam room, she made you feel like you were the only patient in her office. Kindness can be seen and felt in her actions and heard Norton continues on Page 9
If you want to say “Wimbleton” instead of “Wimbledon,” you go right ahead. If you want to say “poinsetta” instead of “poinsettia,” you go right ahead. Who says what you order at Starbucks is featherbrained and pretentious? Stand up for your rights, even if they are wrongs. How are we supposed to appreciate good behavior if there is no bad behavior? You don’t know how great it is not to have a toothache until you have had one, right? You don’t know how great it is not to have swollen and bleeding gums, until you have had swollen and bleeding gums. Maybe your neighbors are the equivalents of swollen and bleeding gums, but try to get along. Live and let live is my motto. The frat boys took forever to rake their leaves, so a lot of them became my leaves. When they finally got around to raking their leaves, they didn’t bag them. They piled them up right next to the fence. I think I saw a family of snakes moving in. And that’s OK. I am an animal lover. But I have to say that I kind of wish that leash suggestion was binding. Smitty and I have been beset upon 14 times by unleashed dogs, and you never know what might happen. Smitty is a fierce individual. But not me. You will find me at the corner of Easy Going and Vine.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR True Catholics not for choice In response to the Oct. 23 full-page ad for the organization, Catholics for Choice: As a “cradle Catholic,” I am very concerned that readers of this paper might assume this organization represents mainstream Catholicism. It most assuredly does not. You cannot be a member of the Roman Catholic community and support Pro Choice. This statement has been issued by our bishops and pastors locally. How can anyone ignore the “rights” of the innocent human being in utero by focusing solely on a woman’s right to do what she wants with her body? The developing child is not part of a mother’s body. As Christians, we pray for a conversion of heart in all those who support “choice.” Diane Shea Highlands Ranch

CU South Denver plans for future Second phase of university’s renovation set for next year By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com The introduction of classes this fall at the University of Colorado’s South Denver facility at The Wildlife Experience is merely a starting point for what’s to come. Just six months ago, poisonous snakes occupied a 7,000 square-foot space that now serves as three separate classrooms. What were once basement storage rooms for taxidermy animals and wildlife exhibits are now high-tech simulation labs that host incredibly life-like training scenarios for the school’s 36 nursing students. In total, the University of Colorado has renovated 11,000 square-feet of underutilized space into classrooms, and a second phase of construction next year will further transform the facility into a full-fledged, institution of higher learning. A commons area will be enhanced. Dedicated desk space for faculty will be added. The existing Discovery Den downstairs near the entrance will be put to better use. And, of course, the number of students will increase. CU officials are in the process of determining the scope of the next phase of improvements, and what fields of study to add. It’s the responsibility of Jonathan Lurie, assistant vice chancellor for program operations, to help “evaluate what new programs might be appropriate” and how they could fit into the existing curriculum taught at CU campuses in Denver, Boulder and Colorado Springs, he said. The university is also exploring business partnerships, museum operations and continuing K-12 outreach. “We want to make sure we’re connecting with folks who are interested in classes, events and collaborative partnerships,” Lurie said. The school is currently operating under a lease agreement with The Wildlife Experience, a wildlife art museum with interactive educational exhibits that opened in 2003.

has filed a suit against the school district. According to Niose, “there’s a significant problem with religion in our schools.” He further suggests that, while the aforementioned charity, Operation Christmas Child, is Christian based, he would take the same action regardless of the religion, stating “they seem to think there’s a Christian privilege… but there isn’t under the Constitution.” This would have surprised America’s Founders, who made statements like these: • “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”— George Washington • “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on

in each word she speaks. Dr. Jill believes in God and she believes in kindness, she is a strong woman of faith. And even as she fights for her life, she has issued a challenge to us all. She would like us all to complete 29 acts of kindness in 11 days, Dr. Jill’s 29:11 Challenge. The 29:11 challenge stems from the scripture found in the Old Testament book of Jeremiah. “I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, a plan to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Dr. Jill believes God has a plan for her and believes that, as she says, “God’s got this.” Please check her story out on Caring Bridge at http://www. caringbridge.org/visit/jillpechacek/guestbook. And here’s the catch, she has also asked that none of the 29 acts of kindness be directed towards her or her family. She is encouraging us to live in intentional kindness, to think about our daily behaviors through the lens of kindness. And perhaps, if we can commit to 29 acts of kindness in 11 days, the biggest benefit from our accepting the chal-
CU South Denver Vice Chancellor Lisa Douglas shows off the school’s simulation lab, which contains dummies that mimic reactions of the human body to put nursing students in realistic scenarios. Photo by Chris Michlewicz The museum’s founders, Dave and Gail Liniger, donated the museum building to the university in September. CU will officially take over the Liniger Building at CU South Denver Jan. 1. “The Wildlife Experience will still exist, but it becomes the owner of an art collection that we will have here and that will be really its only function,” said Lisa Douglas, vice chancellor of the south Denver facility. But that doesn’t mean the popular annual functions will go away. For the foreseeable future, the university will maintain the regular schedule of museum events, including “Movie and a Martini” nights and the Art & Ale Brew Festival, and outdoor programs like archery and fishing. The one thing that won’t continue on is the traveling
religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.”— Patrick Henry John Marshal, our first Chief Justice, thought there was “a Christian privilege” in America, stating: “The American population is entirely Christian, and with us Christianity and Religion are identified. It would be strange indeed, if with such a people, our institutions [education] did not presuppose Christianity, and did not often refer to it, and exhibit relations with it.” However, Mr. Niose and a few “anonymous” parents are offended that such a notion still “permeates the culture” of DougCo. I’m proud that the DC school board is standing up to these intolerant bigots. Our Constitution does not ensure freedom from religion but freedom of religion. And no American loses this right when they enter the schoolyard. Terry P. Beh Castle Rock
lenge will not be for the others we pour out kindness upon, it may just be us that benefit the most. As just one example, my daughter Emily and her boyfriend Kiel have accepted the 29:11 challenge and have made 29 brown bag lunches to deliver to the homeless over 11 days. The look of pride on her face as she explained their plan was only exceeded by my own feeling of gratitude that she took the challenge so seriously. Maybe committing to a program or organized event such as this is not something that everyone can get their head around and support. And even if you can’t, my hope is that you are already living in kindness in your life and sharing that kindness with others. How about you, can I encourage you to accept Dr. Jill’s 29:11 challenge, or are you already one of the people that others already consider kind? I would love to hear all about what you plan on doing and how it impacts you personally at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we walk out in kindness, it really will be a better than good week.

exhibits that occupied the north side of the second floor. Two 40-person classrooms are now in use in the exhibit space, including one outfitted with next-generation teaching technology. CU is using “distance learning” at the south Denver facility, providing a remote connection between its professors and students at other campuses, and vice versa, Douglas said. Students can ask questions and easily interact with faculty. “The professors in Boulder might not be interested in coming to south Denver, but they could have students here in south Denver that the Boulder faculty is teaching and (those students would) still get the same quality of educational experience without that professor coming down,” Douglas said. CU South Denver has courses in business, engineering, public health, education and nursing. All but nursing are graduatelevel courses intended to provide local industries with continuing education oppor-
tunities for employees. In building its offering of classes, CU is consulting with business leaders and elected officials to determine the best courses. CU recently connected with Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning, who said there is high demand in the engineering and technology fields locally. “We’re looking at data and demand. Making it come to reality is a challenge, but there is a lot of information and I think we can grow with that,” Douglas said. “There will be some trial and error and some things won’t work out and other things will boom and we’re just going to figure it out along the way and get as much feedback as possible.” The university plans to offer core classes that are often difficult to get into at its Auraria campus in Denver. It is also working closely with the nursing program at CU’s Anschutz campus and looking at partnerships with its other campuses.

County expects revenue increase No rise in taxes, fees for Douglas homeowners By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Thanks to new construction and increasing revenue in Douglas County, homeowners will again not have to pay more in county property taxes next year. “The revenues we are going to collect in 2015 are due to new growth, new construction and new buildings that are popping up in the county,” Douglas County budget manager Martha Marshall said. “The money is coming from property taxes, not from an increase in the tax, but new properties being included.” The preliminary $279.7 million budget keeps all taxes and fees the same and funnels large portions of money into funding roads, open space, parks and the justice center through voter-approved ballot initiatives. The largest expenditures are expected to be: capital improvement and infrastructure, $64.9 million; public safety, $55.2 million; public works engineering and operations, $35.7 million; and health and human services, $32.5 million. According to the Douglas County Assessor’s Office, property taxes on a $300,000 home are currently about $2,350 per year. Budgeted revenues total $248.6 million, a 2.2 percent increase over 2014 estimates. The majority of revenue comes from property taxes (44 percent) and sales taxes (22 percent). The $31 million difference in revenues and expenditures will be offset by the use of county fund balances. Among projects earmarked for funding in 2015 are: • A $6.2 million public safety driving facility, land acquisition and construction off Moore Road, which is located west of Santa Fe Drive in the area of Louviers. The driving facility will primarily be used for police training, but will also be available for county public works training, Fire and other area law enforcement agencies and possibly by the school district for bus driver training. • The last two courtrooms, at $1.5 million, in the Justice Center in Castle Rock.
The ongoing construction at the Robert A. Christensen Justice Center in Castle Rock will include the completion of the building’s final two courtrooms in 2015. File photo • The $2.5 million US 85/C-470 Interchange reconstruction. County officials expect the county’s new business personal property tax exemption program, created to attract new businesses and retain existing ones, to produce a significant amount of revenue. The county collects approximately $9 million in business personal property tax each year. Under the new tax exemption, the first $100,000 of actual value will be exempted for business in Douglas County. According to officials, the business personal property tax exemption is part of the county’s plan to attract new business to the region and foster a climate of economic growth. “I think the most important part of what we’ve done here is the statement that we’ve made that we are trying to support the busi-

But truly, truly, over and over again, it’s demonstrating
Budget Continued from Page 1
The budget includes $188.9 million in expenditures and $161.2 million in revenues. The planned use of accumulated cash reserves, mostly for the North Meadows Extension, water and other infrastructure projects, will offset that difference. The largest portion of town expenditures will be $67 million toward capital improvements. For 2015, $34.6 million is budgeted for construction of the North Meadows Extension. The new road, scheduled to open in 2016, will provide another access to U.S. Highway 85 and I-25 for commuters on the west side of town. The first phase of the new Philip S. Miller Park opened in October but $2.28 million is included in the budget for expansion next year. The priorities for new amenities will be determined by town council. “In about six months or so we’ll come to council with our first significant report on the Miller Activity Center,” Stevens said. “We’ll see how our costs are going versus our estimates and how our revenues are going against our estimates, what the customers and the market are telling us and whether we need to make any changes in our pricing structure or program offerings.” The goal of Castle Rock’s Legacy Water Projects is to secure the community’s longterm water future.

infrastructure ($1.3 million) and the Box Elder project ($4.25 million), which are alternative water source supply projects. The Plum Creek Diversion and Raw Water Pipeline project ($775,000) and initial work to expand Plum Creek Water Purification Facility ($3.3 million) are also in the town’s plans. “(These projects will be paid for with) accumulated cash or prior existing debt,” Stevens said. “No new debt (will be incurred) for capital improvements.” The majority of the town’s revenues will come from taxes ($55.3 million) and charges for town services ($52.2 million). The town’s revenues did not exceed TABOR limits in 2009-13. The town does not project exceeding limits in 2014 either. However, capital improvement contributions from other entities will likely continue to be the largest issue impacting whether the town operates within TABOR revenue limitations in 2015. Current estimates indicate that Castle Rock may be over its 2015 TABOR limit by about $1.5 million. Preliminary forecasts and estimates for 2016-19 do not indicate surpluses. If there is a TABOR excess in 2015, during 2016 council will need to determine whether to provide taxpayer refunds and reduce other town expenditures accordingly, or decide to ask voters whether the town can retain the funds for future community investments. The final reading of the budget is scheduled for Dec. 2. The public can view the complete budget by visiting www.CRgov. com/2015Budget.

Buck plans office in Douglas County 4th District Republican to represent the area in the U.S. House By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Republican Ken Buck has lifelong ties to the northern end of the 4th Congressional District, but the newly elected congressman said he plans to open an office in Douglas County and is already familiar with the issues facing the southern part of the district that he will soon be representing. The Weld County district attorney easily won the seat during the Nov. 4 election, defeating Democrat Vic Meyers. Buck will take the seat vacated by fellow Republican Cory Gardner, who successfully challenged Democrat Mark Udall in a hotly contested U.S. Senate race. The 4th District, redrawn in 2011, includes the Eastern Plains and runs the length of the state from Wyoming to New Mexico. It puts rural-flavored northern counties whose economies rely heavily on oil and gas production in the same district as more economically diverse, urban-influenced communities like Lone Tree, Castle Rock and Parker. The district also includes Elbert County, which borders both metro-area and plains communities. What Douglas and Weld counties have in common is growth. A recent U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report showed the two among the fastest-growing counties nationally for adding jobs. “It is in some ways a challenging district,” said Buck, who took about 65 percent of the vote in the four-person race. “We don’t have a lot of urban, but a good bit of suburban and rural. I think there are some different issues based on different parts of the district, but there are a lot of federal issues that cross” the district. Those include concerns about health care and energy. Buck has been familiarizing himself with issues in the southern part of the district for months, and said he met with
Republican Ken Buck waves to a crowd of GOP supporters Nov. 4 at the Hyatt hotel ballroom at the Denver Tech Center. Buck, the Weld County District Attorney, easily gained the open seat in the heavily conservative 4th Congressional District, defeating Democrat Vic Meyers, Libertarian Jess Loban and unaffiliated candidate Grant Doherty. Photo by Christy Steadman Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning before the primary election. “He’s been wonderful in explaining the issues with light rail, transportation, the infrastructure needs and other issues associated with Lone Tree,” Buck said. “I feel like of anyplace in the 4th Congressional District, I’ve spent the most time there to try to understand what’s going on.” Buck said he’s also familiar with Parker. “Certainly one of the big issues in Parker is water,” he said. “And in Douglas — one of the big growth issues is water
for municipalities. As much as possible, I think the federal government should keep its nose out of state water law and let the State of Colorado address that issue.” Buck’s plan of action includes helping ease the swelling district’s transportation needs. “The transportation bill is going to be up,” he said. “I’m going to look at the different options and do my best to make sure the State of Colorado and the 4th Congressional District have the money we need to move forward. I will not support a tax increase. But I think there are
ways of reducing the bureaucratic load in D.C., and allowing more money to come to the states for infrastructure needs.” Buck’s wife, Perry, is a Colorado House representative. They live in Windsor and have two adult children. He doesn’t yet know where his Douglas County office will be, but said that “we’ll absolutely have an office in Douglas County.” “In the short term, I’m going to be going back to an orientation in Washington, D.C., and hiring staff,” he said. “Starting in January, I will absolutely be in Douglas County as much as I can.”

A bad Election Day turned into a worse week for Democrats as vote tallies from an Adams County state Senate race resulted in Democrats losing power of that legislative chamber. In Senate District 24, Republican Beth Martinez-Humenik defeated former Democratic state Rep. Judy Solano by 876 votes in a contest that wasn’t officially decided until Nov. 7, three days after the election. The loss means that Republicans, who entered Election Day as a one-vote minority in the Senate, now control the chamber, 18-17. The results mean that Sen. Bill Cadman (R-Colorado Springs) soon will become the next Senate president, taking the job away from Morgan Carroll (DAurora). “The Republican Senate Caucus is eager to move Colorado forward on so many important issues, and away from the extraordinary divisiveness of recent years,” Cadman said through an emailed statement on Nov. 8. Martinez-Humenik will take over the seat that was vacated by Lois Tochtrop, a Democrat from Thornton who was termlimited. Control of the Senate ultimately hinged on the results from the SD 24 race, but other races also proved important in deciding the chamber’s balance of power. Four contests in Jefferson County resulted in incredibly tight races that were not resolved on Election Night. Two Democratic incumbents, Jeanne Nicholson of Senate District 16 and Rachel Zenzinger of SD 19 lost their seats to Republican challengers Tim Neville and Laura Woods.
Democratic Sens. Andy Kerr of Lakewood and Cheri Jahn of Wheat Ridge barely held on against challengers Tony Sanchez and Larry Queen. The two seats Democrats lost were washed out by Democratic pick-ups of seats they had held until last year. Democratic state Rep. Leroy Garcia defeated incumbent Republican George Rivera in Pueblo while former state Rep. Mike Merrifield unseated Republican Sen. Bernie Herpin in Colorado Springs. Rivera and Herpin won their seats last year during recall elections in which voters ousted Democratic incumbents for their support of gun-control legislation. Meanwhile, Democrats held on to the House of Representatives, an outcome that was in doubt throughout the week. Rep. Daniel Kagan (D-Cherry Hills Village) eked out a victory to retain his seat, which helped to cement the Democratic majority in the House. Kagan’s is one of the most evenly divided districts in the state. But Democrats never imagined they would be sweating out results in Adams County days after the election. There, Democratic Rep. Joe Salazar of Thornton edged out challenger Carol Becker. And, in a surprise to many, Democratic Rep. Jenise May lost her seat to JoAnn Windholz. May sits on the powerful Joint Budget Committee and was selected as chairwoman to the House Majority Project to elect new Democratic state representatives. Democrats suffered several other key losses on Election Night, including the U.S. Senate race and down-ticket races for attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer.
GOP wave `smaller here’
House Speaker Mark Ferrandino (DDenver) said he expected Democrats to lose a couple of seats in the chamber. But when it was all said and done, he was pleased that the party kept control of the House. Senate continues on Page 15

New faces to serve Douglas County Party affiliation of winners remains the same Staff report Residents of Douglas County will see some new — and some familiar — faces in new places.

IN WITH THE NEW The following is a look at those who will be new to their elected posts and who they replace: STATE SENATE DISTRICT 30 Chris Holbert (R-Parker) will take over for term-limited Ted Harvey (R-Highlands Ranch). STATE HOUSE DISTRICT 43 Kevin Van Winkle (R-Highlands Ranch) will take over for term-limited Frank McNulty (R-Highlands Ranch). STATE HOUSE DISTRICT 44 Kim Ransom (R-Acres Green) will take over for Chris Holbert, the new state senator for District 30. STATE HOUSE DISTRICT 45 Patrick Neville (R-Franktown) will take over for Carole Murray (R-Castle Rock), who is retiring from office. DOUGLAS COUNTY CORONER Jill Romann (R-Castle Rock) will take over for Lora Thomas (R-Highlands Ranch), who is vacating the office after an unsuccessful run for sheriff. DOUGLAS COUNTY CLERK AND RECORDER Merlin Klotz (R-Parker) will take over for term-limited Jack Arrowsmith (R-Castle Rock). DOUGLAS COUNTY ASSESSOR Lisa Frizell (R-Castle Rock) will take over for term-limited Teri Cox (R-Castle Pines). DOUGLAS COUNTY SURVEYOR Robert Snodgrass (R-Highlands Ranch) will take over for Dale Hamilton (R-Larkspur), who is vacating office.

Romann
take over in January for Chris Holbert (RParker). Ransom took 64 percent of the vote in a three-way race. “I am honored and humbled by the confidence the citizens of this district have in me to represent their voice at the state Capitol, and am grateful for all the volunteers and support that helped make this election successful,” said Ransom, who has worked as an aide for two state senators. “My predecessors fought hard for the conservative principles that have become institutional in Douglas County, and I look forward to continuing that fight as the next representative for this district.” Holbert, meanwhile, is one of the familiar faces who will still be serving county residents — but in a slightly different capacity. He was elected to the state Senate District 30 seat, replacing Highlands Ranch Republican Ted Harvey, who is term-limited. The winners of the District 1 county commissioner and sheriff races, while having served in the jobs for several months, were elected to those seats for the first time.

Member Spotlight - WISE One Step Closer to Delivering Water The southern suburbs of Denver took a significant step forward in shifting to a water system that makes use of renewable water supply on Oct. 21 when members of the South Metro Water Supply Authority and Denver Water purchased the East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District’s Western Waterline. The pipeline purchase is a significant milestone in WISE (Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency), a partnership between 10 of the South Metro members, Denver Water and Aurora Water to share water supply and infrastructure. Using Aurora’s Prairie Waters system, Aurora Water and Denver Water will provide water through the Western pipeline to participating South Metro members on a permanent basis. WISE will also provide a new emergency supply for Denver Water, and offset costs and stabilize water rates for Aurora. “The purchase of ECCV’s pipeline makes WISE and the sharing of water supplies possible,” said Eric Hecox, executive director of the South Metro Water
Supply Authority. “This is a significant milestone for the WISE Partnership and moves communities throughout the South Metro area one step closer to a secure and sustainable water future,” he said. The 20-mile east-west pipeline along E-470 and C-470 has capacity to deliver 38 million gallons of water a day to Douglas and Arapahoe counties. “Our sale of this pipeline is mutually beneficial for all the parties involved,” said O. Karl Kasch, president of the ECCV board. “Under the purchase and sale agreement, ECCV will still have the capacity we need in the pipeline, while also supporting a regional solution to one of the most important water challenges facing the Denver metro region. We have always viewed the Western Waterline as an infrastructure asset from which the entire South Metro community can benefit, and that’s what will be accomplished.” Under the agreement, Denver Water and Aurora Water will sell an average of 7,250 acre-feet of water
a year to South-Metro water suppliers beginning in 2016 with the option to increase to 10,000 acre-feet in future years. “We’re thrilled to be moving forward with the WISE Partnership,” said Dave Little, director of planning for Denver Water. “This agreement will create more system flexibility and increase the reliability of our water supply system, leading to a more secure water future for communities throughout the region.” WISE water is expected to begin flowing through the ECCV pipeline in 2016, once the remaining infrastructure, such as system interconnects, are complete. For details on the WISE project and updates, visit http://www.southmetrowater.org/storageWISE.html.
David Weaver, the longtime sheriff, ran unopposed for county commissioner after having been appointed to the post over the summer. His former undersheriff, Tony Spurlock, was then appointed sheriff in July, and he handily won the post last week. Only two previously elected incumbents return to serve Douglas County in their same capacities. Treasurer Diane Holbert (R-Parker) ran unopposed for her second term. State Rep. Polly Lawrence (R-Roxborough) also garnered a second term in House District 39, taking 71 percent of the vote. Most of the local election winners, though, have more in common with Ransom, in that they will be building name recognition over the next two or four years, depending on the job. Robert Snodgrass (R-Highlands Ranch) is among the newcomers, having won the race for county surveyor. While acknowledging that he was heartened by the strong showing of Republicans in the county, state and nation on Nov. 4, he said was proud of the way he and his opponent, William Buntrock (D-Roxborough), handled their race. Snodgrass said he and Buntrock are good friends and agreed before the race that they wouldn’t campaign outside of responding to local media election guides and that neither of them took any political donations. “Neither of us took any money and I’m happy that we were able to run the race the way we did,” Snodgrass said.

Impact of Latino vote debated Republicans say they have made progress with the demographic By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com During a Nov. 4 re-election victory speech, Republican Congressman Mike Coffman thanked his supporters in two languages. Coffman talked about how important it was to have taken part in a recent allSpanish debate with Andrew Romanoff, his challenger in the 6th Congressional District race. The district is one of the most diverse in the country and has a large Latino population. “Because for me it is very important to be able to share my vision to create more jobs and more opportunities to everyone in Colorado,” Coffman said in Spanish to a cheering crowd of supporters after defeating Romanoff decisively on Election Night. Coffman has been studying Spanish with a tutor since his district was remapped to include more Latinos in 2012. Coffman’s near double-digit victory over Romanoff in what was supposed to be one of the closest races in the country is leaving Republicans hopeful that they finally have turned the corner in wooing a demographic that has largely rejected GOP policies — Latino voters. “Times have changed and our party has changed and Mike Coffman represents the very best of a Republican who can run in a competitive district while making the effort to gain the confidence of his constituents,” said state Republican Party Chairman Ryan Call. “I hope every Republican candidate will take a lesson from the efforts of Mike Coffman to listen to the people he represents.” Although Call did not have any Latino

Ferrandino, who is term-limited and won’t be returning next year, said Democratic legislators were able to hold on to their seats in spite of a national wave that swept Republicans into power in many offices across the country. “The national wave was huge, bigger than anyone expected going into Election Day,” he said. “If that was the case, that would have made the wave higher in Colorado, but the reality is it was smaller here.” Ferrandino does not believe the results marked a referendum on Democratic-backed policies that the Legislature enacted in 2013 — including gun control, an election-law overhaul and civil unions. Ferrandino pointed to Kagan, who ran on his support for background checks on all gun sales and transfers in a tough district. “If that was something that wasn’t supported, he wouldn’t have won that race,” Ferrandino said. Kagan said the losses of Democratic seats had more to do with voter resentment of politicians overall, rather than

voter data available at the time of his comments, he and other Republicans are confident that they were able to make inroads with Hispanic voters this election cycle. They also point to the win by Cory Gardner in the U.S. Senate race as evidence that they did well with all voting demographics. But is it that Republicans have finally started to win over Latino voters — or is it that the GOP benefited from a lack of enthusiasm on the part of Latinos on Election Day? Patty Kupfer of America’s Voice, a Denver-based immigrant advocacy group, said exit polling numbers do not back Republicans’ claims that they made inroads with Latino voters. Kupfer pointed to an America’s Voicesponsored exit poll that shows Latino voters backed Democratic Sen. Mark Udall over Gardner 71 percent to 23 percent. Latinos supported Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper over Republican challenger Bob Beauprez by a 70 percent to 28 percent margin, according to exit poll findings. “Latinos who voted were not voting Republican,” Kupfer said. National exit polls conducted by Edison Research back Kupfer’s assessment. Latinos voted for Democrats over Republicans by a 63 percent to 35 percent margin. Latino support for Democrats was higher this year than during the 2010 midterm elections, according to the exit poll’s findings. If that’s the case, then why did so many Democratic candidates struggle in Colorado and across the country on Nov. 4, considering how reliably Democratic of a voting bloc Hispanics have become over the years. “Maybe Latino turnout was not as high as we would have hoped,” Kupfer said. “There’s just a real sense that it was hard to get people excited this year.” Latino enthusiasm was a problem for Democrats leading up to Election Day. Kupfer said Latino voters made up about
frustration over one party in particular. “I think it’s the result of the wave of dissatisfaction with government generally that is causing a lot of the people to say, ‘I don’t care who you are. I’m getting you out of here.’ ” Kerr said he doesn’t expect lawmakers to change the way they go about business, just because of the tightening of control of power in the Legislature. “Everyone looks at one or two bills each session and says, ‘Look how divisive the Legislature is,” Kerr said. “The vast majority of the work we do flies under the radar and is nonpartisan.” State Rep. Frank McNulty (R-Highlands Ranch) said Republicans won big on Nov. 4 because voters were “generally dissatisfied with the direction the Democrats were taking our state.” But McNulty, who is also term-limited and won’t be returning to the Capitol next year, thinks that one person in particular won big as a result of a divided Legislature — Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper. “By definition anything that makes it to his desk is going to be bipartisan,” McNulty said. “Hickenlooper is the chief beneficiary of the politics that will play out in the Legislature and he knows that and his staff knows that.”

8 percent of the votes cast in 2010. When all votes are counted this year, she expects that number to drop a full percentage point. America’s Voice also took part in a national poll of Latino voters who were registered, but who did not vote. She said the poll found that the vast majority of Latinos who did not vote were upset with President Barack Obama’s decision to hold off on taking executive action on immigration issues until after the midterm elections. “He made the decision based on keeping the Senate in Democrats’ hands... and look at where that got us,” Kupfer said. Had the president gone forward with executive action on immigration, the issue would not have played well in Southern states - where Senate Democratic hopefuls lost anyway. But many political observers believed that the issue would have helped Udall by driving up Latino voter enthusiasm here. State Democratic Party Chairman Rick Palacio said he was “equally as disappointed in the president” as were Latinos over the president’s immigration punt. But Palacio doesn’t think lack of
enthusiasm was the issue. “I saw Latino voters come out in favor of our Democrats and it showed at the polls,” he said. “Very clearly, Democrats are on the side of immigration reform while Republicans continue to stall on this issue.” Democratic leaders acknowledge that they were swept by a Republican wave this year that they believe will not be present two years from now. Democrats are hopeful that Latinos will continue to vote Democratic and that their influence will increase in 2016, a presidential-year election in which minority voter turnout will be much higher than it was last week. But Ali Pardo, the GOP’s Hispanic press secretary, said Democrats are just trying to make themselves feel better after a rough night on Nov. 4. She said Republicans have made gains among Latino voters after having been longcriticized by Hispanics for ignoring their issues and concerns. “The Democrats can try to spin it anyway they want, but they’ve noticed,” she said. “We weren’t in the (Hispanic) community the way we should have been before, but we are now.”

Gardner takes Senate seat from Udall Congressman defeats Democratic incumbent By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A U.S. Senate race that was expected to be a nail-biter proved to be anything but that on Nov. 4 as Republican Congressman Cory Gardner upended Democratic incumbent Mark Udall in a race that was decided stunningly early. A pumped-up crowd of supporters erupted when Gardner took to a podium inside a Hyatt hotel ballroom at the Denver Tech Center, where the enthusiastic Yuma native declared victory. “Tonight we shook up the Senate,” Gardner said. “As Republicans in Colorado, we’ve gotten used to the saying, `Wait for the next election.’ Well tonight, that next election came.” Gardner held an advantage of 5 percentage points or more throughout much of Election Night, but that would eventually shrink to a 48 percent to 46 percent victory. Udall conceded defeat in front of supporters at downtown Denver’s Westin Hotel at about 10 p.m. on Election Day, during a speech where he graciously accepted the night’s reality. “As long as I’ve had the privilege of serving the people of Colorado, I always feel like I’ve come out ahead,” Udall said. Udall’s speech came two hours after news outlets began calling the race for Gardner — which occurred only an hour after the 7 p.m. poll closings. That surprised many observers. Even though recent public polling leading up to the election showed a coalescing of majority support for Gardner, the race was expected to be tight, considering recent elections have shown that a strong Democratic ground game made all the difference. But that didn’t materialize for Udall,

Photo by Q Crutchfield who also had to fight against a national Republican wave that resulted in Democrats losing control of the U.S. Senate. In spite of the painful results, Udall tried to keep the mood light, referencing the humor of his late father, former Congressman and presidential candidate Morris Udall. “I do respect the will of the voters here in the state of Colorado, but I also thought about my dad,” Udall said. “You may remember, some of you, that he lost an election. He said, `The voters have spoken, the blanket-blanks.’”

Photo by Christy Steadman But Udall — who became the first incumbent senator to lose in Colorado since 1978 — still acknowledged the sting of the loss. “I thought about Abe Lincoln, you know his famous story about the boy that stubbed his toe,” Udall said. “He said, ‘It hurts too much to laugh, but he’s too big to cry.’” But the night was Gardner’s. The sen-
ator-elect told the crowd that Coloradans have now “signed up to be the tip of the spear, the vanguard of change that is sweeping the nation.” Gardner said that Colorado voters “are not red, they are not blue, but they are crystal clear.” “They are crystal clear in their message to Washington: Get your job done and get the heck out of the way,” Gardner said.

Hickenlooper wins another term Democratic governor fends off challenge from Beauprez By Vic Vela
vvela@colorado communitymedia.com
SUPPORT
One word summed up the mood at a Nov. 5 Capitol victory rally for Gov. John Hickenlooper. “Phew,” the governor said while making a motion with his hand as if to wipe away sweat. After a bruising night for Democrats in Colorado and nationwide, Hickenlooper’s re-election win over Republican Bob Beauprez was one of the few things the blue party had to celebrate following the results from Election Night. Results in the gubernatorial race were not known until the morning after the election. After trailing for most of Election Night, Hickenlooper eventually was able to pull ahead in the wee hours of the morning. At the time of the victory rally, Hickenlooper held about a 1 percentage point lead, though that would rise over the next few days and he would garner about 49 percent of the vote to Beauprez’s 46 percent. “I think I can now demonstrate that one, even with almost no sleep, can still feel great joy,” he said. It was expected to be a very close race and the contest lived up to its billing. For months, Beauprez, a former congressman, hammered at Hickenlooper’s record and blasted him for “failing to lead” on key issues including the death penalty and fracking.
Helping Beauprez during his campaign were Hickenlooper’s own words. The governor at times found himself walking back comments he made throughout the campaign, including remarks regarding gun control legislation that he gave to a group of sheriffs over the summer. And Beauprez was helped by a national Republican wave that swept through Colorado and allowed the GOP to take over a U.S. Senate race here and to keep statewide offices that include attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer. But from the beginning, Hickenlooper focused his campaign on his stewardship over a state economy that has picked up steam under his watch. And he maintained a quirky, affable personality on the stump while keeping his promise to voters that he would never run a negative campaign ad, despite some of the groups backing him doing so. “I am so proud that we were able to run a positive campaign,” Hickenlooper said. “But we could not have done it without the encouragement of the people of Colorado.” Hickenlooper thanked his family and staff and supporters. He also thanked Democratic Sen. Mark Udall for his service, several hours after Udall lost his re-election bid to Republican Congressman Cory Gardner. The governor said Gardner called him that morning to congratulate him on the victory. “He said, ‘We’re going to be able to work together very well,’ ” Hickenlooper said. “We’re going to do everything we can to move this state forward.”

Actress Jessica Biel, who moved to Boulder as a child and grew up there, and her superstar husband, Justin Timberlake, are expecting their first child, according to a story in Us Weekly magazine. According to the story, “Right now they are just enjoying the news for themselves,” one pal tells Us of the “Blunderer” actress, 32, and Timberlake, 33, who dated on and off for five years before getting engaged in January 2012. “They just want a happy baby.” Biel and Timberlake celebrated their two-year wedding anniversary in October. “It’s weird because it feels like almost nothing has changed, yet something that you can’t really describe, or something that isn’t tangible, has changed,” Biel told Ellen DeGeneres of married life after returning from her honeymoon in 2012. “It just feels incredible.” Read more: http://www.usmagazine. com/celebrity-moms/news/jessica-biel-ispregnant-expecting-first-child-with-justintimberlake-2014511#ixzz3IJfIY6Gd.

which will be exhibited in its entirety for the first time at MCA Denver. The artist is quoted by MCA Denver’s publicist: “When I came to Denver while touring with DEVO a few years ago, I was struck by the vitality and positive energy in the city and experiencing the Museum of Contemporary Art was definitely a high point. When the museum invited me to work with their team on an exhibition of this kind, I was happy to have the
opportunity to show Denver, and ultimately the world, what I’m really about.” This extensive retrospective offers a portrait of an important artist in contemporary culture. It will add to a visitor’s understanding of what the MCA describes as “a largely misunderstood band and Mothersbaugh’s role in the emergence of contemporary culture, including punk rock and even today’s street artists.”
Thrillist.com, a website that’s not afraid of inciting a food fight, has just released its list of The Best Pizzeria in every state. Them’s fightin’ words. The timeless debate over the perfect pizza has divided many households, but Thrillist is willing to go there. Here’s what the website purports about pizza: “There are things in America that you can find no matter where you are. The kindness of strangers ... Good pizza. We like to think that somewhere, in each state, there’s a truly sublime pie, and to prove that point, we’ve crunched the numbers (and the crusts) and come up with a definitive list of the best pizzerias in every corner of this great nation ...These are the best pizzerias in every state in America.” Colorado’s winning pie purveyor is Osteria Marco on Larimer Square, Thrillist says. Restaurant mogul Frank Bonanno is no stranger to accolades, so it’s not surprising that his casual Italian eatery made the cut (or slice). Thrillist said, “One of Denver’s premier restaurateurs opened up this pizza place, and it’s a passion project. Mozzarella is made in-house, and pizzas don’t conform to any particular style — it’s all his own.” Osteria Marco is at 1453 Larimer St., www.osteriamarco.com, 303-534-5855.

`Playground’ puts work by women in spotlight Production came about from burst of collaboration By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “The Playground” runs through Nov. 22 at Work|Space at the Laundry on Lawrence in Denver’s Five Points neighborhood. It’s a new work by five area women. The setting is an urban playground, Susan Lyles said — with two swings, a bench, a basketball hoop … Five new short plays by local women will show “a rich tapestry of everyday heroes, thwarted dreamers, overzealous sports fans, undaunted angels, entangled lovers and gregarious entrepreneurs,” according to a release from the company. In 2005, Lyles started And Toto too Theatre Company to produce plays by women writers, with the goal of bringing more plays by women to the stage. (Very few women get their plays produced.) An “American Theatre” article last month by Suzy Evans states that while 51 percent of the population is female, and 68 percent of Broadway audiences are female, there isn’t a single new play by a woman in the 2013-2014 season. Lyles and co-director Nicolette Vatjay got together in late August/early September with the playwrights: Vatjay, (“Liar Liar, Pants on Fire”); Leslie C. Lewis (“Superheroes”); Nina Alice Miller (“American Herring”); Rebecca Gorman O’Neill (“They Were Mine Before”); and Carrie Printz (“Soccer Mamas”). “We started scripts and rewrote until we had a working script after two weeks,” Lyles said. Five stories are woven together and take place over a 24-hour period at this one site. Each play will be a fully rehearsed production, she said, after about five weeks of rehearsals. The same versatile actors will perform in each one, Lyles said. They are: Kathi Baerns, DEvra Keyes, Susan Lyles, Camden Lyles-Smith, Lauren Cora Marsh, Kevin Richard McGuire and Dylan Rush.

in the West. There are oils, watercolors, pastels, pencil drawings and — new this year — sculpture and a “small wall” of small paintings. While there may be several interpretations of Spruce House, for example, the artistic eyes scanned far and wide and one will see other ruins, canyons, gnarled trees, wildlife and imagined ancient residents. “America’s finest living Western artists capture the light, landscape and grandeur of Mesa Verde National Park,” said the invitation to “Rims to Ruins.” Paintings and sculptures are for sale through the duration of the exhibit — and/or one can get a small-scale image of what’s exhibited by going to the foundation’s website: MesaVerdeFoundation.org. Lorenzo Chavez of Parker was one of the artists invited to participate in the Mesa Verde plein air event. His “Moonrise Mesa Verde” was inspired by the May visit to the park, he said. “As I was headed back to my lodging, I witnessed the full moon rising with a cobalt sky; the moon appeared to be an orange globe.” Chavez works in both pastel and oil and participates in a number of national and international invitational and group exhibitions, such as the Pastel Society of America Show in New York, Pastel Society of Spain, Pastel Society of France, Coors show in Denver, and many more. He was featured in a oneman show at the C.M. Russell Museum and is a new member of Plein Air Painters of America.

World market not only about gifts Global artisans, local causes helped by holiday bazaar By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton artist Shelly de Chantal gives of her time and expertise to help fellow artisans across the world by publicizing the annual World Gift Market, held simultaneously at the First Unitarian Universalist Church and First Plymouth Congregational Church, which are positioned diagonally across from each other at Hampden Avenue and Colorado Boulevard. The market opens from 5 to 8 p.m. Nov. 21 at First Universalist only, then continues on Nov. 22 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Nov. 23 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at both locations. More than 50 nonprofit groups and Fair Trade businesses participate in this event, which supports artisans in developing countries in Latin America, Asia and Africa and nonprofit groups working in Denver with refugees, the homeless and families in crisis. Handcrafted jewelry, hand-woven scarves, embroidered bags and jackets, tribal baskets and recycled paper journals, toys, and folk musical instruments may be among the hundreds of colorful items available. Purchases ensure that a mother somewhere far away can put food on her family’s table and perhaps send her kids to school. Women are becoming empowered to participate in family and community decisions as they earn money for the family. Shelly de Chantal shared a story of a Gloria Leyba, who founded her business, Cielo Maya, after she became acquainted with villagers in the Guatemalan Highlands region of Lake Atitlan about 10 years ago. “She not only found the weaver of the jacket she treasured, but she found the direction her life’s work would take.” She had learned clothing design and construction from her mother, and in addition to learning about the weaving tradition of Tz’itujil Maya, she developed a relationship with indigenous craftspeople as she helped them resolve problems that had resulted in
IF YOU GO The World Gift Market will be held at two locations on Nov. 21-23: First Universalist Church, 4101 E. Hampden Ave., Denver (the northeast corner of Hampden and Colorado); First Plymouth Congregational Church, 3501 S. Colorado Blvd., Cherry Hills Village (the southwest corner of Hampden and Colorado). While we don’t recommend trekking across that busy intersection, there should be enough shopping possible to keep one happily occupied for some time — and to help a number of worthwhile causes. The market opens from 5 to 8 p.m. Nov. 21 at First Universalist only, then continues on Nov. 22 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Nov. 23 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at both locations.
poor sales. Cielo Maya, “Maya heaven,” was formed as she helped artisans find good-quality thread and contemporary color and design ideas, de Chantal wrote. Leyba spends three to six months a year in Guatemala working with six artisan groups, helping them “develop saleable products rooted in their traditional culture and finding markets locally and in the U.S.” “A recent success is the creation of handwoven bags containing locally grown Guatemalan coffee, sold with a hand-carved wooden spoon. The goal was to involve more family members in the production process and partner with local Fair Trade coffee growers.” Colorful traditional wooden masks, covered with hand-beaded cloth, will be available at the market this year. The wood carving is done by men in the family, while women create the beaded fabric. Cielo Maya’s products are sold at craft stores in Guatemala and at alternative gift shows in the Denver area such as this World Gift Market. Some items are available at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, and Leyba hopes to increase sales through wholesale orders in the next year, to ensure a steady stream of income for the co-operatives she supports. De Chantal is also a vendor at the market, she said. Her sister founded an organization called Indigo Threads to support schools and children in southern Laos, with school lunches, uniforms, books, supplies, bikes — supported by sales of handicrafts, in addition to

‘Mute Earth’ spurs individual responses MOA exhibit features work of Colorado College professor By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @colorado communitymedia.com “At the outset of `Mute Earth,’ I was curious about what I have taken to be the indifference of elemental matter — dirt, salt, water, wind, light …,” says the artist’s statement for the Scott Johnson exhibit at Museum Outdoor Arts in Englewood. “I was considering how these things seemed to be without sentiment and how any meaning we might find in the various forms they take is assigned by us … There are two qualities, however, that strike me above all — rawness and verticality. The first evokes a certain vulnerability, the second a certain relationship with gravity. I offer these not as interpretations of the work presented here, but as access points.” Although several children bounced and ran around the room, the mood was generally subdued at the Nov. 1 opening of sculptor/installation artist Johnson’s stimulating new exhibit, “Mute Earth,” at the Museum Outdoor Arts’ indoor gallery in the Englewood Civic Center (through April 11, 2015). Look for a handout sheet at the desk, with a map of the exhibit and Johnson’s statement about his work. One enters the MOA gallery at Englewood Civic Center through a pair of “Sentinels,” described as “rammed earth and mild steel.” They are a 21st-century version of the architectural columns that have framed doorways throughout history. Immediately ahead is “Terminus” — “glass, slip clay and mild steel,” which falls into the “Curiosity Cabinet” kind of installation he describes in his writing — shelves of fragile-looking clay objects, which, as a whole, add bulk to the scene. From there, the eyes and feet are led toward the rear of the large gallery, by photographs and other sin-

Spa floats new ideas for relaxation Sensory-deprivation chambers take away distractions By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Any fan of “Seinfeld” knows that there is great significance in the idea of nothing. Steve Skalkowski believes in the concept so much that he left a successful 16-year career in the mortgage industry to start a business devoted to the pleasures of nothing. That is, sensory-deprivation, a practice that completely removes daily distractions, if only for an hour or so. Skalkowski converted a 1,200 square-foot space in the Plaza Center Office Suites formerly occupied by an auto leasing company into Astral Float Spa, the largest sensory-deprivation center in the Denver metro area. He opened his doors in July and has been growing the business ever since. Looking around at the spare walls, Skalkowski readily admits he still needs to do some decorating; the lone art piece on the wall simply says, “Enjoy the Journey.” And he knows that’s the entire point, the reason why people come. Astral Float Spa’s four sensorydeprivation chambers — each in a private room — resemble futuristic escape pods, and to some they are a gateway to enlightenment and clarity. Freshly removed from a serious relationship and searching for answers, Skalkowski came across a podcast by insightful-butsometimes-vulgar stand-up comedian Joe
Steve Skalkowski, owner of Astral Float Spa in Parker, stands next to one of the four sensory-deprivation chambers at the spa near South Parker Road and Plaza Drive. Photo by Chris Michlewicz Rogan, who extolled the benefits of sensorydeprivation so much that Skalkowski was convinced to try it. “I had started meditating, but I wasn’t very good at it,” he said. “Every little thing would distract me.” His first experience in an isolation tank was transformative, and Skalkowski is fulfilled when he sees first-time customers have the same reaction. Some are attracted by the idea of utter relaxation, a brief departure from the daily run-around. Nearly everyone is a candidate: hurried business executives, frazzled
stay-at-home moms, overworked students and bruised and battered athletes. “In such a sensory-overloaded society, this sensory-deprivation is that escape, because there is nothing in this tank except for you,” he said. “You’re alone with your thoughts and you’re floating, so your body doesn’t exist anymore.” The float tanks, as they are sometimes known, provide enough room to stretch out and are filled with 10 inches of water loaded with Epsom salt. The salt provides enough buoyancy for people to completely relax every
muscle in their body and become suspended by the water, with no pressure points. Pitchblack surroundings and an absence of noise make users feel as if they are in space. Once the mind finishes reeling over the physics of it all, a soothing calmness takes over. “It literally takes me to another place,” Skalkoski said. “My breathing gets shallow, I have one long exhale and then I disappear.” The 93-degree water is exactly the same temperature as the surface of human skin, which means users don’t overheat or get too cold. Coupled with the buoyancy, the result is a soft cocoon, like an invisible, form-fitting hammock. Customers often leave with feeling like they had a full-body massage and therapy session in one. The “sweet spot” for most regulars is an hour and a half, Skalkowski said. Light, ethereal music and ocean sounds start out faint and gradually get louder to signal the end of the session. A shower immediately next to each tank allows customers to wash off perfumes, deodorants, colognes and body oils before entering the chamber, and also cleans the saltwater away at the end. The water in the tanks is changed out regularly and goes through a powerful filtration system. A one-hour session costs $45 and 1 ½ hours is $60. Rates are lower for members, and any military veteran with PTSD gets their first session for free. Astral Float Spa, 19031 E. Plaza Drive, accepts walk-ins, but appointments are recommended. Hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day. Call 303-635-6671 or go to www.astralfloatspa.com for more information.
Civics class puts action in teens’ hands Ponderosa High School explores ways to get involved in causes By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s never too early for philanthropy to become a part of everyday life. Students at Ponderosa High School are getting all-encompassing lessons in how to create a positive impact on the other side of the world through a social studies class introduced this fall. Social Issues and Service Learning, a subject taught by Ponderosa veteran Mark Thorsen, Ph. D, puts teens right into the fray, teaching them how to effectively raise money and put it to good use. The curriculum also exposes them to the tangible results of their work which, ideally, will motivate them to take on other causes. The class was born out of an ongoing campaign called the Bridge Project, which formed as a result of a partnership between the school and a nonprofit started by former Ponderosa students called Optimus Youth. The nonprofit has been active in various African countries, most recently Mozambique, where a schoolhouse was built with the help of the Mustang community. The foundation for a second schoolhouse is now being laid. Optimus Youth raises money through various events, and the next one on the calendar is happening right at Ponderosa
High School for the third year in a row. Tickets are now on sale for the Bridge Project concert, a Nov. 15 show that features a line-up of musical acts led by Ponderosa alum, including rising country artist Kenzie Whittington. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at www.phsbridge.org. So far, the Bridge Project has raised considerable awareness in the Parker community, not to mention $12,000 that went toward the construction of the school in Mozambique, said Will Kilduff, who graduated from Ponderosa High School in 2000 and co-founded Optimus Youth. Not only are the students in Social Issues and Service Learning promoting the concert and coordinating logistics, but they are designing separate service projects that explore solutions to various problems with “practical action,” Thorsen said. “It’s based on the idea that there are a lot of major problems — local, national and international — and the idea that each individual can do something,” he said. “The kids work individually and in groups and attack problems by understanding the context, then creating opportunities for likeminded folks to help.” The yearlong class is made up mostly of freshmen, and the plan is to maintain the efforts for years to come if the students so choose. The class is an elective for which the students can earn credit each time. “Next semester they’ll get more freedom to take on projects they want to take on, things they’re passionate about,” Thorsen said. “They will steer the course as it’s moving forward.”
A finished school house in Mozambique is an example of the fundraising work done through Optimus Youth’s partnership with Ponderosa High School, which has taken up the cause and created a civic-service class. Courtesy photo Oftentimes, the constant stream of news stories about the perils faced by people in precarious living situations can make teens feel like a solution is out of reach. With a cohesive effort, however, it doesn’t take long for those involved to see results. “This gives them a chance to see what that’s like (to form a plan of action), but also a chance to see the impact of the work
that they do here,” Thorsen said. “We’re at a point now where we can show the progress from what the classroom facilities (in Mozambique) looked like in 2012 to what they look like now.” Because the curriculum has already been approved by the Douglas County School District’s board of education, any school can start its own version of the class.

Gail Hamilton has designed a party around her book signing, which will be held from 5-9 p.m. Nov. 18 at the Wellshire Events Center, 3333 S. Colorado Blvd. “We have to have a party for this very special occasion, since I started working on this book May 1, 2004,” the Englewood resident said. “I didn’t know what I was doing, so I just started writing. The book now is published and I think that is a reason to have a party and celebrate.” She titled her book, “Soaring into Greatness — A Blind Woman’s Vision to Live Her Dreams and Fly.” She said worked about two hours a day on the book, writing and rewriting the copy. She said there were 10 drafts of the book before the 11th one got published. “Like I said, we are going to have a party,” the author said. “We will have tables and chairs for visitors and there is a cash bar, so come and join me in celebrating my book.” The book recounts many of the challenges Hamilton has faced. She was born 10 weeks premature. Six months later doctors discovered she had an eye condition that left her blind by age 10. She details life growing up, when she was physically and emotionally abused. The book also highlights her achievements, including a bachelor’s degree in music from William Woods University in Fulton, Mo., and a master’s degree in vocal performance from Pittsburg State University in Kansas. She sang the leads in “La Boheme” and “La Traviata” while in graduate school. Her singing was her talent when she won Ms. Colorado Senior America in 2013 and was fourth in the National Ms. Senior America competition.
Gail Hamilton smiles after winning the Ms. Colorado Senior America title in 2013. She describes her experiences at the state and national pageant in her recently published book, “Soaring to Greatness.” She will be doing a book signing Nov. 18 at the Wellshire Events Center. File photo She teaches piano and autoharp and is a workshop facilitator and an inspirational speaker. A few years ago, she worked along with the crews that built her Habitat for Humanity house in Englewood. When the house was finished, she got special assistance so she could sit on the roof and sing. “My intent in writing the book was to inspire those who are struggling to find themselves,” she said. “I hope to let them know they are not alone in their struggles and that an individual can do anything if they have the heart, focus and determination. A saying I have adopted states, `Action plus attitude equals success.’” Hamilton’s book is available through Amazon and also soon will be available electronically through Kindle.

Area programs look back, ahead on gridiron Castle View, Douglas County and Rock Canyon lose offensive weapons By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Wins are often used to measure the success of football programs although both Castle View coach Ryan Hollingshead and Douglas County mentor Gene Hill claim their teams were successful despite losing seasons. Castle View finished the fall at 4-6 but the Sabercats won their final three regular season games to make the Class 5A state playoffs before losing 41-21 to Fairview in the first round. “Your goal is to always be better at the end of the season than you were at the beginning,” said Hollingshead. “It took us a little bit of time to get going but we finished as strong as we’ve finished in four years. We made the playoffs and that will carry on in the future. That really helps.” Castle View has gone 4-6 for the past three consecutive seasons after an 11-2 campaign in 2011, which garnered a Class 4A semifinal appearance. “We’re a solid program, we’re not in dire straits,” offered Hollingshead. “We haven’t quite got over the hump yet. We’ll see if we can get there next year. Our league (Continental South) is very competitive. Everybody is in about the same place. It’s a good league for us. In non-league we ended up playing a lot of good, top 15 teams this year. Some of them will be down a little bit next year and we can maybe make some noise. “Making the playoffs is one of our goals every year. This was our sixth straight year of making the playoffs. We had to fight tooth and nail at the end against Fountain Fort Carson and Chaparral to get there but that’s good for the kids to be playing for something at the end and have meaningful practices. We were still getting better going into the playoffs. That goes a long way toward next year too.” Hill, in his first season as Douglas County coach, watched his team struggle with injuries as the Huskies compiled a 3-7 record. “As far as won-lost, we wish we could have done better but breaking down things with the injuries, there was a lot of adversity the team had to overcome,” he said. “The fact that we were able to be competitive in nine out of our 10 games was a testament to our kids. I would say our season was successful in that way. Our kids learned a lot of lessons that they can carry out throughout life.” Douglas County won the 2005 state championship which was the start of a three-year run in which the Huskies won 35 games. Hill says patience is needed before the Huskies to return to prominence.
Quarterback Rope Ruel, running back JP Rubino, defensive lineman Tamatea Bartlett and Dylan Sundeen, plus linebackers Kyle Newsome and Westin Joslyn are among the seniors that will be lost. “It’s going to take a little time,” said Hill. “Next year we’re losing key players, our quarterback, running back, two stud defensive tackles and we are going to have to replace all of our linebackers. We are losing seniors in a lot of key spots. “We’re going to be fairly young next year. Our freshman class is pretty talented. I see a lot of them being sophomores next year competing for starting spots. We might take our lumps next year but at the same time we are still going to be competitive and I see us if it’s not next year then in two or three years that’s when you’ll see us take a step.” Castle View will graduate several key players on offense. Quarterback Chris Linnin, top rusher Erik Taylor and leading receiver Parker Strahler are all seniors. “Offensively we are losing all of our skilled players,” said Hollingshead. “Our quarterback, running backs, receivers were all seniors. That’s going to be our toughest spot to replace but at the same time we have a young, good line on both sides of the ball. Our defense has a lot of returning kids. Every year you have to rebuild and find kids that will get the job done. “We have a really big sophomore class. Almost our entire junior varsity team was sophomores. There’ll probably be 10 juniors stepping up to start next year. If you want a good program, you want a good mixture of juniors and seniors. I think that’s what we are going to have. We’re not a new school anymore. We’re a stable 5A program now we have to get over the hump to that next level with top level teams.” Rock Canyon, meanwhile, went 4-6, which is an improvement over the Jaguars’ 2013 record of 3-6, but the team will lose Ryan Hommel, a four-year starter at quarterback as well as playmakers D.J. Webb and Jack Lamb. “We improved this year, we won one more game than last year,” said Rock Canyon coach Brian Lamb. “We were disappointed not to make the playoffs but we won three of our last four games. I think we are headed in the right direction. “Being in our second year, my staff and I, the kids are starting to figure out what we are looking to do and trying to achieve. We not only made strides at the varsity level but the JV team went 9-1 this year and we are hoping to build on that. We lose our quarterback and he was a four-year starter. We’ll try to find a kid to replace him. We have some good kids coming back. We have five starters back. We’ll have to access what we have and what is going to be best for us.”
Castle View senior Charles Sims breaks free on a big run for the Sabercats in the early-goings of the team’s 31-14 homecoming win over Rock Canyon Sept. 12 in Castle Rock. The Sabercats are graduating all their starters at skill positions this year, but have a big group of sophomores coming in to fill the gaps.
Rock Canyon senior D.J. Webb heads upfield for the Jaguars in their 29-25 loss Sept. 5 at Douglas County. Webb had touchdown runs of 65 and 6 yards on the night and finished the season with 10 touchdowns.

Valor ends Vista’s dream season Eagles advance to quarterfinals with 44-0 win By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Valor Christian’s Vincent Hood turned the corner, broke loose and scored a 32yard touchdown run just as the scoreboard clock showed there was no time remaining in the game. Hood’s run wasn’t as dramatic as it might seem since it only made the final score more lopsided in the Eagles’ 44-0 second round Class 5A playoff romp over neighboring Highlands Ranch school Mountain Vista on Nov. 7 at Valor Christian. Valor (8-3) will challenge Pomona (9-2) in a quarterfinal game at 7 p.m. Nov. 14 at Jefferson County Stadium in Lakewood. The Eagles beat the Panthers, 21-14, earlier this season on Aug. 28. “They were arguably the most physical team we have played this year,” answered Valor coach Rod Sherman when quizzed about Pomona. “They are very, very good up front. When we played them last time,
it was their first game and our second. It seems like it was forever ago. I expect it to be a four-quarter, bruising game. We’re going to have to play much better up front offensively and defensively than we have had to the last few weeks.” The Eagles’ front line was dominating against Mountain Vista as Valor held a 456-73 advantage in total offensive yardage and owned an over 14-minute edge (31:08-16:52) in time of possession over the Golden Eagles. Mountain Vista was never able to get much going on offense even after a bad snap on Valor’s first drive gave the Golden Eagle possession at the Valor 29-yard line. Mountain Vista was forced to attempt a 34-yard field goal by Mitchel Anderson, which was blocked. “They had our number,” admitted Mountain Vista coach Ric Cash. “Valor is a good team. We had some opportunities early but we couldn’t execute. We put our defense on the field an awful lot. They wore down and we couldn’t battle back. The kids worked hard. They did everything they could. I couldn’t be any more proud of a group of kids. They battled all year.” Valor Christian was called for nine pen-

Mountain Vista’s Christian Brady (4) and Luke Nelson (48) look to bring down Valor Christian ball carrier Ben Waters during the first quarter of Valor’s 44-0 playoff victory over the Golden Eagles Nov. 7. Photos by Ryan Boldrey alties, several of which hampered drives, had plenty of offensive standouts on the night. Sophomore quarterback Dylan McCaffrey completed 19-of-29 passes for 318 yards and two touchdowns. His two touchdown passes accounted for 125 yards. Stone Watson took a screen pass in the flat 58 yards into the end zone with 11 seconds left in the second quarter to give Valor a 24-0 lead. Bubba Watkins then caught a pass in the flat from McCaffrey and went 67 yards for a TD in the third quarter. Watson rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown as the Eagles finished with 138 yards rushing. Valor’s defense, led by junior Tanner Tadra and senior linebacker/fullback Nathaniel Whatmore, was dominating. Vista was held to just one yard of total offense in the first half. “We just focused on outhitting and outhustling,” said Whatmore. “That’s the motto we want to have. We just came prepared and tried to go as hard as we could in practice. Our scout team gave us good looks and as a team we were just flying to
the ball.” Both Tadra and Whatmore were credited with six tackles. Whatmore had three tackles for losses and was in on two sacks. “I though the defense really played well,” said Sherman. “We really dominated the time of possession. Offensively we played really well in spurts. We still make too many mistakes. If we don’t clean up those mistakes, they are going to get us. Those mistakes against Cherry Creek and Grandview cost us those football games. We just have to start playing a little more crisp.” Mountain Vista finished with a 9-2 record, which was the first winning record for the Golden Eagles in five seasons. “It was a heck of a season especially (considering) where they have been and the struggles we’ve had,” said Cash. “These guys did a tremendous job in pointing us in the right direction. They pointed us in the direction we need to go and hopefully the younger guys paid attention and get in the weight room and do all the things they need to do in the offseason and not let this be for naught.”

Football playoff recap
Valor Christian and Cherry Creek notched easy second round wins in the Class 5A football playoffs and will meet familiar foes in the quarterfinals. Sophomore quarterback Dylan McCaffrey completed 19-of-29 passes for 318 yards and a touchdown to help the Eagles whip Mountain Vista, 44-0, on Nov. 7 at Valor Christian. Valor had four different running backs score touchdowns and the Eagles’ defense held the Golden Eagles to 73 yards total offense. Next up for the Eagles will be a 7 p.m. date with Pomona on Nov. 14 at Jefferson County Stadium in Lakewood. Valor defeated the Panthers, 21-12, on Aug. 29. Cherry Creek’s DJ Luke ran for three touchdowns and Milo Hall two in the Bruins’ 56-27 triumph over Bear Creek Nov. 7 at the Stutler Bowl. Quarterback Joe Caplis passed for one TD

and ran for another in the rout of the Bears to lead the Bruins (8-3) into a quarterfinal game Nov. 14 at Regis Jesuit. Regis (10-1) lost its only game of the season Aug. 29 to Cherry Creek when the Bruins jumped to an early lead and held on for a 27-14 victory. Previously unbeaten Lutheran (10-1) suffered its first loss of the season when the Lions surrendered two touchdowns in 47 seconds late in the Nov. 8 game at Douglas County Schools Stadium, to drop a 28-24 first round Class 3A playoff game to Palisade.
State Volleyball results
Ponderosa advanced to the Class 4A state championship match Nov. 8 at the Denver Coliseum but Lewis-Palmer prevailed, 3-1, to win its second straight state title. The Mustangs (24-5) lost the first set but dominated in capturing the second set, 25-15. Ponderosa played well in the third, but with the scored tied at 22-all, Lewis-Palmer took over and the Rangers won the set. LewisPalmer easily won the fourth set, 25-12, to close out the match. Junior Allison Smith was a standout for the Mustangs in the title match with 26 kills and 13 digs. Cherry Creek came close to getting to the Class 5A semifinals but the Bruins lost a one-set playoff, 25-22, to Chatfield. It was the second loss of the day to the Chargers. Chatfield edged the Bruins, 3-2, in the final pool match on Nov. 8. Chaparral, Legend and Highlands Ranch were eliminated in pool play. Chaparral (18-9) held an 11-2 lead in the fifth set but let the advantage slip away in losing to Rampart, 15-13, and losing the match, 3-2. The Wolverines came back to beat Fairview, 2-0, in the final game for Chaparral coach T.R. Ellis who is retiring after 36 years of coaching. Ellis started coaching in Texas but then spent eight seasons at Olathe, seven at Douglas County and is the only coach in Chaparral’s 18-year history. Chaparral became a volleyball power under Ellis, winning back-to-back state titles in 2010 and 2011 and the Wolverines won 58 consecutive matches at one point before the skein ended early in the 2012 season with a loss to Highlands Ranch. Legend (16-11) lost 3-2 to Regis Jesuit and beat Pine Creek, 2-0. Highlands Ranch (16-12) dropped a 3-0 match to eventual state champion Grandview before beating Cherokee Trail, 2-0, in pool play.
SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF NOV 10, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) A rejection of your attempt to be friendly leaves you with two choices: Try again, or give up. If you want to make another effort, go slowly. Let things develop without pressure. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) It could be a problem dealing with unfamiliar people who do things differently from what you’re used to. But rely on that strong sense of purpose to get you through this difficult period. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) To avoid neglecting a personal matter because of a demanding new workplace schedule, start prioritizing immediately. Knowing how to apportion your time takes a little while to set up.
crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope
GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) It won’t be easy to avoid some of the pressures that come with change. Best advice: Take things a step at a time, and you’ll be less likely to trip up while things are in a chaotic state. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) A much-talked-about workplace change could be coming soon. Be sure to get all the details involved in the process, and once you have them, you can decide how you want to deal with it. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22)You might still believe that your trust was betrayed, although the facts would appear to prove the opposite. But by the week’s end you should learn something that will help set the record straight. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Holiday plans could be a challenge because of shifting circumstances. But a more settled period starts by midweek, allowing you to firm up your plan-making once and for all. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) The facts continue to be on your side. So make use of them in dealing with any challenge to your stated position. Also, open your mind to the offer of help from an unlikely source. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21)There could still be a communication problem holding up the resolution of a troublesome situation. Stay with it, and eventually your message will get through and be understood. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A possible change in your workplace schedule might create a chaotic situation for a while. But once things begin to settle down, you might find that this could work to your advantage. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A recent job-linked decision might need to be reassessed because of the possibility of finding benefits you might have overlooked. Check out all related data to help in the search. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A personal situation you agreed to might not be as acceptable to the other person involved in the matter. Avoid pressuring and bullying. Instead, seek common ground by talking things through. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for touching people’s minds as well as their hearts. You would make an outstanding educator. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

men will help launch the school and later be replaced on the board by parent volunteers. Exposure to the arts at PPAS will start immediately, with classes in ballet and violin offered as early as kindergarten. Piano, guitar, voice, choir, musical theater and theater classes will be available to older students. The project conceived two years ago has “had a few bumps” that have pushed back the original, hoped-for 2015 opening, Piepenbrink said. PPAS made its preliminary submission to the Douglas County School District in 2014, then withdrew its application based on DCSD staff feedback. They plan to resubmit in early 2015 with what Piepenbrink said is a much stronger application. “We’ve been revising and strengthening our charter application so we can submit the very strongest charter to Douglas County, one that is likely to be approved,” she said. “We expect approval from the district in the spring or early summer.” Despite the delay, both proponents and prospective students remain excited. The first day of school at PPAS can’t come soon enough for Parker resident Tiffany Maestas’ 8-year-old daughter Ryla, who already is a competitive dancer. “Even when she was a baby, she would always be the entertainment at family gatherings,” her mother said. “She dances at the Colorado School of Dance in Parker, travels and competes in dance and is very passionate about musical theater. So she’s super excited about Parker Performing Arts. She asked me just last night, `When do I get to go to that school?’” Maestas said the draw is more than just the performing arts. She plans to enroll her now 2-year-old son there, too. “I don’t know if he’ll be as passionate about the performing arts as my daughter is, but I think all the qualities you develop while participating in the performing arts will definitely be an advantage — the creativity, self-confidence and collaboration,” she said. “The blended learning environment and technology they’re planning to use is just going to be amazing.” Piepenbrink agreed, saying the skills needed to perform easily translate to the workplace, which means students who attend PPAS won’t necessarily make a career of the arts. “There’s nothing better than having performed in plays or being a musician, having that dancer’s mind, to help deal with ambiguity, being creative, looking at problems from a different angle,” she said. “The people that are successful in jobs are creative and innovative.” A love of or talent for the performing arts isn’t needed to attend the public school. “We want to make it accessible to children of all levels,” said Piepenbrink, who has a degree in theater and an MBA in organizational leadership. “There will definitely be kids in our school who are prodigies and who excel. But there will also be kids for whom this will be their first introduction. We’ll have kids on both ends of the spectrum and everything in between.” School supporters don’t yet have a site, but would like the building to be along the E-470 corridor with quick access to Interstate 25. That location would accommodate students they believe will come from a wide geographic area. PPAS plans a series of community meetings starting in January.

Godbehere, Petrock & Fendel, 700 17th Street, #1800, Denver, CO 80202), APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION, DOUGLAS COUNTY. Groundwater to be augmented: 10 acre-feet per year of not nontributary Denver aquifer groundwater as decreed in Case No. 07CW51, District Court, Water Division 1. Applicants are the owners of the groundwater decreed in Case No. 07CW51 underlying 35.8 acres of land located in Section 4, T9S, R67W of the 6th P.M., Douglas County, as shown on Attachment A hereto (Subject Property). Water rights to be used for augmentation: Return flows from the use of not nontributary Denver aquifer groundwater and return flows and direct discharge of nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property as also decreed in Case No. 07CW51. Applicants are the owners of 26.5 acre-feet per year of not nontributary Denver aquifer groundwater of which 10 acre-feet per year will be use in this plan for augmentation and 14.7 acre-feet per year of nontributary Arapahoe aquifer groundwater of which 10 acre-feet per year will be used in the plan for augmentation. Statement of plan for augmentation: The 10 acre-feet per year of Denver aquifer groundwater will be used for use in up to two residences (0.7 acre-feet), stockwatering (0.3 acre-feet), irrigation of lawn, garden, bushes and trees (8 acrefeet), and storage (1 acre-foot) on the Subject Property. Applicants reserve the right to revise these amounts and uses without having to amend or republish this application. Sewage treatment for inhouse use will be provided by non-evaporative septic systems. Return flows associated with inhouse use will be approximately 90% of water used for that purpose and return flow associated with irrigation use will be approximately 15% of water used for that purpose. During pumping Applicants will replace an amount equal to 4% of the annual amount withdrawn pursuant to Section 37-90-137(9)(c.5), C.R.S. It is estimated that depletions occur to the East Plum Creek stream system. Return flows from use of the subject water rights from inhouse and irrigaton use will accrue to the South Platte River system via East Plum Creek and those return flows are sufficient to replace 4% of the annual amount withdrawn while the subject groundwater is being pumped. Applicants will reserve an equal amount of nontributary Arapahoe aquifer groundwater as decreed in Case No. 07CW51 to meet post-pumping augmentation requirements. Further, Applicant prays that this Court grant the application and for such other relief as seems proper in the premises. (5 pages).

Government Legals Public Notice NOTICE OF INTENT TO IMPOSE ENVIRONMENTAL USE RESTRICTIONS PURSUANT TO § 25-15-321.5, C.R.S. ON CERTAIN PARCELS OF LAND IN DOUGLAS COUNTY, COLORADO The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and E. I. DU PONT DE NEMOURS AND COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (DuPont), provide notice of their intention to impose binding environmental use restrictions on several tracts of land owned by DuPont. These tracts are generally referred to as a portion of the DuPont Louviers Facility, located at 7255 Main Street, Louviers, Douglas County, Colorado 80131-0067, including a closed Solid Waste Management Unit known as SWMU 24. Precise legal descriptions of the affected land are available from CDPHE as described below. The affected tracts of land (referred to as “Property”), were operated as part of a landfill used by the Village of Louviers. The environmental use restrictions are necessary to ensure continued protection of human health and the environment due to the presence of this residual contamination. The restrictions are summarized as follows: a) Prohibition on Structures. No structures of any sort may be built on the Property. b) Limitation on Agricultural Uses. Agricultural uses other than grazing are prohibited. Grazing shall be managed to prevent erosion on the Property. c) Restriction on Surface Disturbance, and Underground Disturbance. Surface disturbance or excavation of any kind is prohibited on the Property, except for activities allowed pursuant to the “SWMU 24 Maintenance and Monitoring Plan,” dated March 14, 2011 and approved on March 21, 2011 (attached hereto as Attachment B) (the “Monitoring Plan”), including any subsequently approved amendments. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to, grading, digging, drilling, and mechanized cultivation. Grazing and passive, non-motorized recreational uses such as cross-country skiing, hiking, horseback riding, and wildlife viewing are allowed, so long as they do not damage or in any way impair the functioning of the landfill cover. Activities allowed or required pursuant to the Monitoring Plan shall also be allowed uses on the Property. Pursuant to § 25-15-318.5, C.R.S., once the environmental use restrictions have been finalized, they are binding on all current and future owners of the land, any persons using the land, and any persons possessing an interest in the land. CDPHE will accept comments on the proposed environmental use restrictions until December 1, 2014. After consideration of any comments, CDPHE will finalize the proposed restrictions. To obtain a copy of the legal description of the affected parcels of land, and a copy of the exact language of the proposed environmental use restrictions, contact Colleen Brisnehan of CDPHE at 303-692-3357 or colleen.brisnehan@state.co.us.
