Mile High Academy set to move in Christian school established 100 years ago to open in August in Highlands Ranch By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Students of a 100-year-old school will once again fill the halls of the empty schoolhouse on Dad Clark Drive in Highlands Ranch. Mile High Academy, a Christian school serving preschool through high school students, will open its doors in August at 1733 Dad Clark Drive for the 2015-2016 school year. “This location has worked well so far, but we need to move on,” marketing director Agape Hammond said of the school at Mile High continues on Page 11

A new program will give Douglas County residents a chance to serve, protect and volunteer. The Reserve Deputy Academy will train local volunteers to be sheriff’s officers. The academy program will last about five and a half months and meet two nights a week, Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6 to 10 p.m., as well as every other Saturday and a few Sundays. The program is open to anyone who has a valid Colorado driver’s license and has not had a DUI in the past seven years or a felony. This is not a paid position. “It’s going to take them quite a while to get through it,” said Sgt. Max Young, who is in charge of the training program. “There is going to be 300 hours of instruction and the big issues that will be covered are law enforcement driving, arrest control tactics and firearms training.” Following the completion of the academy training and necessary tests, reserve deputies will be able to choose where they would like to volunteer. “(The options for service) would be the same as a full-time deputy,” said sheriff’s Lt. Glenn Peiczmeier, who is in charge of the reserve program. “They can be assigned to detentions, investigations, if some of these individuals have a background in say corporate fraud, they may want to take that expertise and volunteer their time working in investigations working on financial crimes.

Area leaders put face on pro-fracking effort Douglas County residents tout controversial practice By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Some south metro-area residents are lending their faces and voices to the fracking debate, appearing on pro-fracking fliers published by Coloradans for Responsible Energy Development. CRED, a nonprofit formed in August 2013 by publicly traded Texas-based companies Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and Noble Energy, describes the fliers as part of a broader education effort on the widely debated practice. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a technique that uses pressurized liquid to fracture rock and release natural gas and oil from deep in the earth. Among the Douglas County faces featured on the glossy mailers are Douglas County School Board member Meghann Silverthorn, Lone Tree City Councilmember Kim Monson and Colorado Business Roundtable president Jeff Wasden. “The mission and focus is to help folks get the facts on fracking — what it is, what it isn’t, and in this case, how it benefits them,” CRED spokesperson Jon Haubert said. “We find so many people have no idea that the vibrant oil-andgas-driven economy here in Colorado does benefit them.” Fracking continues on Page 23

Local officials share views on constituent concerns Listening key, though campaign agenda plays role, school board president says By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School Board walks a fine line between listening to its constituents and carrying out the ideals on which its members were elected, board president Kevin Larsen said. “Whether you’re at the national, state or local level, one thing you try to do is be upfront and say what you stand for when you’re running,” he said. “Whether the outcome is lopsided or very narrow, ultimately, the winning side prevails, and it’s their agenda that’s going to be adopted. “If you’re elected, then you do what you said you were going to do — while all the time listening to where people are.” All school board members support the district’s education-reform policies, which include a pay-for-performance program for teachers, a wide variety of school choice options and the Choice Scholarship, or voucher, program. Larsen, who has served as board president for about a year, said in December 2013 the board would extend “the hand of friendship” to those who disagreed with certain programs. Not everyone feels that effort has been successful. Lone Tree resident and parent Todd McCusker sees dramatic contrasts among local elected officials. McCusker expressed concerns to the city council about a lack of bicycle lanes, an issue Lone Tree is in the process of addressing by restriping its main thoroughfares. “I was struck with the sense that the city council is really trying hard to please the citizens,” he said. “For the most part, we’ve all become highly skeptical and cynical of politics at the national level and from our experiences with the Douglas County School Board. The Lone Tree City Council reminds us that there are still governing bodies out there who seem to still hold the constituents’ best interests at heart.” In 2011, when several residents proposed Lone Tree secede from the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, the city paid $40,000 for a cost analysis of the plan. Their findings showed secession would cost taxpayers additional funds, and in the end, Lone Tree stayed with SSPRD.
School board president Kevin Larsen speaks during the Dec. 12 Love Our Schools fundraiser luncheon at the Lone Tree Marriott. Photo by Jane Reuter The city can’t always accommodate residents’ requests, Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning said. In the case of the recreation district question, “There were enough voices asking us to take a look at that that we felt it was our responsibility to take a deeper dive, rather than just making a decision at council. “I think certain decisions you have to look at and say, `It’s not incumbent upon us to make this as a council.’ We need to go and get additional, more enhanced information to make sure the decision we’re making here indeed serves the whole community.” Gunning considers listening to city resGunning idents among his duties as mayor. “If I’m elected by the people of Lone Tree and they put their trust in me, it’s incumbent upon me to listen to them. I weigh that against the impact to the whole city. The most important piece to that is we listen to every concern. We don’t dismiss it.” Residents appear to approve. City surveys conducted every three years show Lone Tree residents are highly sat-
isfied with their quality of life and city government. It’s similar in Douglas County, where a 2014 survey showed two-thirds of respondents said the county is moving in the right direction, and the government listens to the people’s voice. “All the elected officials I deal with take that very seriously,” said Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge. “We listen first.” The county also takes extra steps to ensure residents understand the issues, he said. He pointed to 2011 meetings on proposed oil and gas drilling regulations, during which the county brought in representatives on both sides of the issue to explain the potential issues to residents. “We do know we have a highly educated, highly engaged population,” Partridge said. “We really consider the citizens and taxpayers owners. That’s the attitude we take there — you are an owner.” The school district has not conducted a survey since 2012, though community members repeatedly have requested a return of the once-annual process. The first reform-friendly board was elected in 2009. Every successful candidate since has run on a pro-reform platform, receiving campaign contributions from schoolchoice proponents living outside Douglas County. Critics contend the board is implementing a conservative education agenda that is polarizing residents of the district. The school board’s focus is on its constituents, Larsen said. “If you’re genuine and honorable, as all of us have been, you’re doing it with the goal of bettering whichever constituency you’re representing,” he said. “In our case, it’s the school district, the citizens in the school district, and the children. We’re doing this to improve their lives.”

Three arrests made in Highlands Ranch fight Perpetrators used knife and wrench in Jan. 5 street fight By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County sheriff’s deputies arrested three men they believe were involved in a fight Jan. 5 that landed five people in the hospital. Justin Peter Jones, 18, of Highlands Ranch, remained in custody as of Jan. 9 on a $40,000 bond. He was arrested on felony charges of first-degree assault and felony menacing. Jarrod Kie Bayless, 35, of Highlands Ranch, was arrested on felony charges of seconddegree assault and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He posted a $2,000 bond on Jan. 7. Andrew Robert Dewitt, 23, of Highlands Ranch, was arrested Jan. 7 on misdemeanor charges of third-degree assault and disorderly conduct. As of Jan. 9, Dewitt remained in custody on a $1,750 bond. The five people – four adults and one 16-year-old boy – transported to the hospital

have since been released. Identities are not being made public, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. Ron Hanavan said. The sheriff’s office responded about 3:30 p.m. Jan. 5 to a residence in the 8800 block of Chestnut Hill Lane in Highlands Ranch on a fight-in-progress, Hanavan said. Police reports reveal two altercations occurred that day. According to arrest affidavits, the first altercation began as a road-rage incident. About 3 p.m., two vehicles pulled over near the intersection of Lincoln Avenue and Quebec Street, and a fight broke out between the 16-year-old boy and Jones, who knew each other because both are students at Highlands Ranch High

School, and Jones’ brother, Dewitt. Four juvenile acquaintances of the 16-year-old did not exit the vehicle during the fight. The 16-year-old boy “stated that he threw the first blow because he was ‘trying not to get jumped,’ ” according to the affidavit. An off-duty police officer saw the males fighting, and honked his horn, which caused enough distraction to break up the fight. The juvenile told his father, Bayless, and mother about the incident when he arrived home. According to the affidavit, Bayless wished to address Jones’ parents about the incident, and the three of them, plus four passengers, drove to the residence in the 8800 block of Chestnut Hill Lane.

dence, Jones and Dewitt arrived and exited their vehicle, according to the affidavit. The parties confronted each other in the street in front of the residence. Jones “pulled a folding knife out of his right front pocket” and in midst of the fight, the knife cut the side of the juvenile’s head, according to the affidavit. The affidavit states that during the fight, Bayless admitted to striking Jones “in the nose with a closed fist” and told his 14-yearold son to get a metal wrench that was inside the vehicle. While Bayless was holding Jones in a headlock, Bayless told the 14-year-old to hit Jones in the head with the wrench, which caused an injury, according to the affidavit.

Flu outbreak hits Colorado Local doctor says this is the worst year in a decade
n the lled a ” and de of avit. fight, n the year-By Christy Steadman nsidecsteadman Jones@coloradocommunitymedia.com old to which Colorado is among the more than 40 vit. states that have been hit hard by the flu avanthis fall and winter, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The south metro area has not been spared, with area hospitals seeing a rise in cases, said Dr. David Markenson, chief medical officer at Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree. People also are “relatively sicker,” he said, as far as symptoms are concerned, which leads to more patients needing to be admitted. “To me, this year is the worst year in a decade,” said Dr. Paul Davidson, an emergency room physician for Castle Rock, Littleton, Parker and Porter Adventist hospitals. “There certainly has been a ton of hospitalizations.” The number of influenza diagnoses has more than doubled over last year at the group of area hospitals. Between Nov. 1 and Jan. 7, there have been 448 cases at Littleton, Parker and Castle Rock Adventist Hospitals combined, compared to these hospitals’ total last year of 208, said Rachel Robinson, director of communications, PR and marketing for Parker Adventist. The most recent data from the Colo-
‘A common misconception is that the vaccine is unnecessary’ Dr. David Markenson, Chief medical officer at Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree
rado Department of Health and Environment shows that as of Jan. 3, 50 Colorado counties reported a total 1,903 hospitalizations. The worst week, the department of health reports, was the one ending Dec. 27, when 531 hospitalizations were reported. That was the highest number during a single week in the decade that the department has been tracking the statistic. “It boils down to the immune system,” said Dr. Jay Lee, medical office chief of primary care at Highlands Ranch Kaiser Permanente Colorado. Young children and seniors and anyone with a medical condition that makes them immune-compromised are the most susceptible to influenza, Lee said. But the virus can spread easily, so anyone can contract it. In the winter, Lee said, there are fewer outdoor activities, so people tend to stay indoors. Plus, people are more likely to travel during the holidays, which places them in confined
spaces such as planes and trains. The most important thing is to try to contain the epidemic, Davidson said, so people should get tested if they believe they may have the flu. A test will determine if a person is suffering from influenza, or if they have a different sickness such as pneumonia or a cold, Davidson said. He said people need to call ahead to make sure the facility offers the Rapid Influenza Diagnostic Test. Results from the rapid test can be determined in 15 minutes or less, he said. If a person is diagnosed with the flu, some facilities provide treatment for the entire household to further prevent the spread, Davidson said. The CDC reports that Influenza A viruses, or H3N2, are most the common so far. “H3N2-predominant seasons have been associated with more severe illness and mortality,” the CDC website states, “relative to seasons during which H1N1 or B viruses predominated.”
There have been few cases of Influenza B and H1N1, a flu virus that caused a worldwide pandemic in 2009, this season, Davidson said. The H3N2 strain “has been seen before,” Markenson said, “but the genetic structure has changed slightly, so we have less protection from it.” The CDC uses research to try to determine which of the flu viruses will be the most common during an upcoming flu season, states the CDC website, in order to design a flu vaccine to provide the best protection. However, it’s “a lot like predicting the weather,” Lee said. On a good year, the vaccine is 75 percent effective, but on average, it is 60 percent effective, Davidson said. Because this flu season’s strain mutated, he said, the vaccine is only 40 percent effective. However, Markenson, Davidson and Lee all agree that the best method of prevention is to get the flu shot. “A common misconception is that the vaccine is unnecessary,” Markenson said. But people still receive benefits from getting it, Lee said. It “plays a role in helping immunity.” Markenson said there are two “very good reasons” to get vaccinated: The flu shot can reduce the severity and duration of symptoms, and it can prevent death if a person does contract influenza. Generally, flu activity peaks between December and February, states the CDC’s website. “We’re in the middle of it,” Davidson said. “There’s several weeks of flu left.”
IS IT AN EPIDEMIC? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention answers that question this way on its website: The United States experiences epidemics of seasonal flu each year, and right now all of CDC’s influenza surveillance systems are showing elevated activity. Influenza-like-illness (ILI) has been over baseline for the past several weeks, virological surveillance shows a lot of flu is circulating, and the hospitalization surveillance system shows increasing hospitalizations rates, especially in people 65 years and older. Also, the surveillance system that tracks mortality shows that the country is in the midst of this season’s flu epidemic.

Chamber hosts immigration forum National expert to take questions By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com Immigration is on the minds of many in light of the start of the new legislative season, and the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce wants to get everyone up to speed. The chamber is hosting a forum at 10 a.m. on Jan. 26 featuring Ali Noorani, executive director of the National Immigration Forum, and Michelle Warren, director of the Colorado branch of Bibles Badges and Business. “The chamber believes it is important to host this discussion with Ali Noorani because comprehensive immigration reform is of vital importance to the business community,” said Natalie Harden, the chamber’s director of public policy and economic development. “Immigration reform affects all sectors of the business
community, from workers to entrepreneurs looking to invest in Colorado. The uncertainty created by the lack of a comprehensive strategy is damaging to Colorado’s overall economic growth.” Noorani has more than a decade of leadership in public policy advocacy, nonprofit management and coalition organizing across a Noorani wide range of issues. As a key figure among a new generation of national leaders, he continues advocates for the value of immigrants and immigration to the nation. He has appeared on several national and local news programs to keep people updated on the topic. “People move to make life better for themselves and their families,” he wrote in a 2012 opinion piece on CNN.com. “People come to America not only for the promise of freedom but also to
put food on the table and to send their kids to a decent school. And to rebuild our economy, we need new Americans as customers, innovators, taxpayers and workers.” Bibles Badges and Business is a network of conservative faith, law enforcement and business leadership working to establish a new consensus on immigrants and America. “These unlikely allies have seen the changing face of America in their congregations, businesses and communities,” reads its website. “Their response has been to advocate for policy solutions that will help new Americans attain the opportunities, skills and status to reach their fullest potential.” The event is at SMDCC in the Streets of Southglen, 2154 E. Commons Ave., Suite 342, in Centennial. The Douglas County Business Alliance, Denver South Economic Development Partnership and Colorado Business Roundtable are also participating.

Schools host meetings on capital needs Aging infrastructure, growth create long list of projects Staff report Year after year, members of the Douglas County School District’s Long Range Planning Committee have come to the school board with a bleak message: The district’s buildings are deteriorating with time, and the punch list of needed work is growing longer and increasingly urgent. DCSD has $275 million in unfunded capital needs over the next five years, according to the committee, a number that grows by $35 million each year they’re not addressed. Though all of the district’s buildings meet codes and are safe, many of the potential problems could affect students’ school day. “If you look at the Master Capital Plan there are $25 million in issues that could interrupt the educational program,” DCSD planning director Rich Cosgrove said. “If a boiler goes down in the winter, if a chiller goes down in the summer, if we have a major roof failure, it will impact our students.”
Issues presented in the Long Range Planning Committee’s 2014-15 Capital Master Plan include aging buses, boilers and roofs; outdated technology; cracked parking lots; unraveling carpet; safety and security needs; and new construction prompted by near-capacity schools. The committee is hosting a series of meetings this winter to inform the public about those needs and get feedback about ways to meet them, including funding strategies used in the past and potential future methods. “We want to invite and welcome the public to see and hear what the capital needs of the district are,” board president Kevin Larsen said. “This is a good way to engage the community, to look at the challenges and the opportunities ahead. Ultimately after these meetings, we will see if there is a recommendation or what the community feels is the best way to address the need of the district.” School staff proposed in 2014 a way to address the issues without raising taxes by issuing general obligation bonds. Without such action, taxpayers will by 2016 begin to see a decrease in their annual tax obligation to the schools. But the school board voted not to par-
ticipate in the fall election, citing concerns with the state’s school funding formula, which they believe already puts an unfair burden on Douglas County taxpayers. DCSD budget director Scott Smith said many people don’t realize the funding challenges DCSD faces and the resulting impact on capital needs. “We are the one of the lowest-funded districts on the Front Range,” he said. “Often, people don’t realize that like all districts, we are only funded for operating needs, which largely go to salaries and benefits. The Colorado School Finance Act does not provide funding for capital needs.” Funding capital improvements through a mill levy override or bond would require voter approval. DCSD still could put a question to continue the current tax rate on the November 2015 ballot. “We have no dedicated funding right now to do capital work,” Cosgrove said. “We have been meeting some of our most urgent capital needs out of our operating dollars and out of some of our other funding strategies that we talk about in the presentation.” Current funding doesn’t address future needs. Forecasts suggest the district will
double in size by 2040 to about 118,000 students. Upcoming meetings to let community members know about the district’s capital needs follow: Jan. 15 Sagewood Middle School, 4725 Fox Sparrow Road, Parker, 5 p.m. Highlands Ranch High School, 9375 Cresthill Lane, Highlands Ranch, 7 p.m. Jan. 22 Cimarron Middle School, 12130 Canterberry Parkway, Parker, 5 p.m. Castle View High School, 5254 North Meadows Drive, Castle Rock, 7 p.m. Jan. 27 Sierra Middle School, 6651 E.

If your glass isn’t half full, then fill it Ever since I began writing this column more than five years ago, I have ended each one with an encouragement to have a better than good week. And over these past five years I have been asked many times about why and how I chose that particular saying to sign off each week. Well my former boss, friend, and mentor Zig Ziglar used the same statement many times when someone would ask him how he was doing, and it just became something that has stuck with me and that I wanted to share with the world. Zig had a few responses to the question of how he was doing and of course all were extremely positive. An enthusiastic, “How are you doing Zig?” just might be met with an equally as enthusiastic, “Fantastic!” Other responses might sound like, “Outstanding but I hope to be better soon,” or “Wonderfully well and thank you for asking.” And my favorite one was always his cheery and sincere, “Better than good.” Now if Zig was to ask someone else how they were doing and the person responded with, “I am doing good,” Zig would immediately ask this next question in a leading and very encouraging tone, “Are you doing good or are you doing better than good?” And most people would grin or smile and say, “You’re right Zig, I am doing better than good.” He also published a book titled “Better Than
Good,” which I highly recommend. Zig has had a huge impact on my life for sure. I don’t think a day goes by where I do not quote him in some way or share one of his insights or inspiring tips. And as I think about all of us here in the beginning of 2015, what better insight or inspiring tip can I share than the encouragement of having a better than good day, week, month, or year? You know the winter saying, “Start warm, stay warm?” Well the same holds true for our outlook and perception in life, “Start positive, stay positive.” I mean if we go out looking for the bad things in life, we will find plenty of them. If we focus on the negative, then that is what we will see and feel. And if our goal is to stir the pot and create drama and trouble, there is no doubt that we can meet and maybe even exceed that goal. But to what end? Negativity and negative
New year has wild cards in play This year, the investment landscape presents a whole new ball game. Investors will want to be aware of where the opportunities lie on this new playing field we are heading into in 2015. Last year had its ups and downs and ended great for U.S. large company growth stocks. Most everything else was so-so, with foreign holdings showing losses. And 2013 was very different as well. That year, value — or dividend-paying — stocks outperformed growth and fixed income was negative. All of that was reversed for last year, which makes the investor wonder what is in store for the new year. Anyone who is diversified may be scratching their head and wondering why they didn’t sell everything and buy growth. However that is a very short-term fix to a very long-term issue. Just the differences in the last 12 months should prove to any investor that you cannot predict the best asset class to be in and variety always wins over single concentration on the multiyear charts. Smart investors know that return on
thinking suck the energy right out of us, don’t they? Usually when we encounter someone who is focused on the gloom and doom of life, they appear listless and downtrodden. And it is the complete opposite when we run into someone who is doing better than good, isn’t it? They are almost bouncing as they walk, they have more pep in each step, and their passion and energy are shining brightly. We want some of whatever it is that they’ve got, don’t we? Well, what they have is a better than good attitude. They look for the good in life and not the bad. They live with an attitude of gratitude and appreciation. Their glass is way more than half full and they look forward to every encounter and to every opportunity. And if they don’t find an opportunity, they create their own. How about you, how are you doing? “Fantastic?” “Outstanding but hope to be better soon?” “Wonderfully well?” or “Better than good?” I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we start positive and stay positive it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Douglas County School Board dodges public opinion, for now
capital usually follows economic growth. However, 2013 was a perfect example of artificially high returns with a weak or non-existent Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Now we are seeing strong economic growth numbers and lower unemployment and the stock market is schizophrenic. Last year the strong economic themes were in manufacturing, consumer confidence and U.S. labor markets. Yet we had a 9.8 percent downturn in October, not quite hitting the 10 percent bogey for
It’s not surprising that the DCSD Board of Education continues to stonewall on a community survey in spite of lip service since 2013 to the contrary. According to the Strong Schools Coalition (http://strongschoolscoalition.org/issues/parent-survey/), every annual survey since 2009 — when the pro-reform board first came into power — has indicated a steady drop in parent confidence that the district is headed in the right direction, from a high of just over 70 percent of respondents expressing confidence in 2009 to only 38 percent in 2012, the last year a survey was done. So I suppose it’s understandable from the BOE point of view that they would prefer to avoid situations that might expose further erosion of confidence in their agenda. Their disavowal of 2012 survey results, even though the survey administrator advised them it was perfectly valid, suggests as much. More generally, running from any sort of meaningful community engagement process — which should include, but not be limited to, surveys of public opinion — seems just to be part of their M.O. Case in point: their March 25 resolution to further restrict open public

Getting a hospital built for veterans On the southeast corner of the Anschutz Medical Research Center in Aurora is a half-finished veterans’ hospital that, when completed, will be a state-of-the-art medical center designed to meet the needs of the men and women who have served our nation in uniform. Unfortunately, the construction of the Aurora VA hospital is hundreds of millions over budget and is already years behind schedule due to the extraordinary incompetence of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The general contractor, Kiewit-Turner Construction (KT), sued the VA for its mismanagement of the design process, which led to a $1 billion design on a $600 million budget. In early December, the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals agreed with KT and ruled that it had the right to stop work on the project and for a brief period of time all construction activity stopped, leaving 1,400 workers without jobs right before Christmas. Fortunately, the VA and KT were able to reach an interim agreement that put those workers back on the job and the hospital back on track … for now. Under the interim agreement, the VA paid KT $157 million for work already completed; brought in the Army Corps of Engineers to
take over management of the project; and provided approximately $70 million to keep the project going while a new contract with the Army Corps of Engineers can be negotiated. The Army Corps of Engineers has built similar construction projects for the Department of Defense, consistently on time and within budget, while every major construction project managed by the VA has been hundreds of millions of dollars over budget and years behind schedule. My goal is to completely strip the VA of its authority to manage its own construction projects and permanently transfer that authority to the Army Corps of Engineers. The next major complication is that after
paying KT the money it is already owed and funding the interim contract, we still have to figure out how to come up with enough money to complete the hospital. The hospital’s total cost, under current law, is capped at no more than $880 million, while the final price tag will probably exceed a billion dollars. To start addressing this problem, as soon as the 114th Congress convenes, I plan to submit legislation that will raise the spending cap for the hospital to $1 billion and put into law the permanent transfer of authority to manage the VA’s construction projects to the Army Corps of Engineers. Given the VA’s past mismanagement, it cannot be trusted to manage its own construction projects. The challenge then is where to find the money to cover the shortfall. One possibility is for the VA to search through its own budget for unexpended appropriations in what is known as “reprogramming” within its Major Construction Account. This would cause a slowdown on the start dates for other VA major construction projects that haven’t broken ground yet. The other possibility, unfortunately, is getting more money approved by Congress, and that may not be possible until much later this year. The issue will be in getting the ad-
ditional funding approved before the money runs out and the construction is forced to shut down until the money can be found to resume construction. My fear is that mothballing an unfinished hospital will cause the cost to go up even more than it already has. My case to Congress is that we can’t erase the costly mistakes that the VA has already made, but the leadership of the Army Corps of Engineers will do everything that is reasonably possible to bring down the cost and speed up the construction of the hospital. The VA’s incompetence has done serious damage to this hospital project. It has harmed our veterans, who have been waiting over a decade for this state-of-the-art facility, and it has harmed the taxpayers of this nation who must now come up with the hundreds of millions of dollars to cover the cost overruns and to fix the VA’s costly mistakes. We cannot abandon this hospital. We owe it to our veterans, the taxpayers, and to the 1,400 construction workers to keep this project going and to ultimately get it done. U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman is chairman of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee for House Veterans Affairs and is a U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran.
New Congress is chance for change Washington is traditionally mired in gridlock and political games. And it’s no secret that despite some victories for Colorado, the last Congress was the least productive in modern history. Now, as the new year ushers in a new Congress, there is renewed potential for compromise and collaboration. If Washington can move past the partisanship, there is plenty we can accomplish. Our office is working with Republicans and Democrats on a host of issues important to Coloradans that will make government more efficient, effective and accountable. With tightening budgets and unreliable federal support, local governments across the state are looking for innovative ways to finance infrastructure projects. These projects are critical to our local communities and our economy. The American Society of Civil Engineers scored Colorado’s infrastructure at a C-plus and rated the nation a D-plus. We’ve teamed up with Sen. Roy Blunt, a Republican from Missouri, to help. Our bill, the Partnership to Build America Act, without spending federal dollars, would create an infrastructure bank to help communities maintain or build new roads, highways, bridges, schools, water conduits, tunnels and other projects. It’d be funded through bonds U.S. companies would purchase in exchange for allowing them to exclude a certain portion of their overseas earnings from taxation. This
bill could help put people back to work on projects important to Coloradans like the expansion of public transit in the Denver metro area or building the Arkansas Valley Conduit. We are working with Tennessee Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander on a bill to simplify the process for applying for college financial aid. Countless college students and their families have suffered through the 10-page, 108-question FAFSA form. We’re proposing a plan to reduce the current form to two questions. This dramatically streamlined form would encourage more students to apply for aid and allow more students to access higher education. We’ve met with and heard from students, parents, high school and college administrators and financial-aid advisers across the state to discuss the challenges of the current form. From Pueblo Community College to Front Range Community College to Metro-
politan State University, there is a resounding and overwhelming desire for a more efficient process. At a time when other countries are making it easier to attend college, our priority should be ensuring that higher education is as accessible as possible to as many students as possible. The Pay-For-Performance Act will help states and communities achieve better results with less cost to taxpayers. Under the model we’ve proposed, a local government enters into a contract with a provider that commits to delivering a set of services that are more effective and cost less than the results the government is currently receiving. An investor funds the project and is reimbursed with interest when the project meets its goals. If the providers don’t deliver the results they promised, the taxpayers are off the hook and the investors are not reimbursed.
In the coming year we will continue to work on these bills as well as many others to cut government bureaucracy and red tape so it works better for the people it serves. We’ll also keep up our fight on a number of ongoing issues important to Coloradans, including an extension to the Wind Energy Production Tax Credit, long-term funding for the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) Program, fixing our broken immigration system, completing the VA hospital in Aurora, and making reforms to the Department of Veterans Affairs to ensure our veterans are receiving the services they have earned. If we can work together and embrace the opportunity for progress in this new Congress we can enact meaningful change for Coloradans. Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

I was in a diner in a strip mall next to the Arizona State University art building in Tempe. I was with two 4’10” Jewish girls who met in my class, and became lifelong friends. My first bagel was plain, toasted, with cream cheese, and that has been my preference ever since. I have tried blueberry bagels. I had a chocolate bagel one morning, and thought I was eating cake. I don’t eat cake. I’m never going to get married. I am never going to have a wedding. But if I did get married and have a wedding, I wouldn’t have a wedding cake. They are sinister things. I know how frosting is made. I have had bagels with peanut butter, tuna, and eggs and ham. Toppings diminish the bagel’s importance, but it is a great combination. Bagels originated in Poland. You can find them everywhere now, fresh or in a six-pack sleeve. Fresh bagels are the best, but they should be consumed right away. I have a nifty bagel guillotine. Now and then I buy a six-pack. They are not as good, but last for an eternity. There are some things I will never make
for myself, and bagels are one of them. There isn’t a chance I would do it right. I have never made chicken fried rice at home either. I depend upon the kindness of strangers when it comes to ice cream too. I’ve watched bagels being handmade, and I was hypnotized. Bagels were introduced as a street food in New York City, and you can still buy bagels on the street on your way to the Museum of Modern Art. It’s a great way to start a museum day. I know why I didn’t have a bagel for 29 years. I am going to point the finger at my mother. Sorry, Mom. She did her best with her own background and our budget, and neither enabled ethnic food or anything that was moderately exotic. Tomato soup was our spaghetti sauce. I can’t even look at a can of tomato soup now. She buttered elbow macaroni, and that was dinner. I think I ate several thousand peanut Marshall continues on Page 10

butter and jelly sandwiches when I was growing up. Twelve years after my retirement, there’s still a PB&J named after me at a food kiosk on
the Auraria campus. I could have broken out when I went away to college, but I didn’t. I kept up with hamburgers and macaroni and cheese. I still don’t have Andrew Zimmern’s palette for cheek meat or lower intestines, but I have branched out a little. I won’t eat kale, however. Keep it away from me. Green peppers cause almost insurmountable problems the next day.

an actual correction. We did see a greater than 10 percent correction in small cap stocks however. We also witnessed the end of Quantitative Easing (times three) by Halloween with few ramifications. We still have low interest rates which should continue to fuel growth along with low oil prices and falling unemployment. So what is the problem? Well, the picture is not always clear. For example, consumers love lower gasoline prices, but oil falling to $47 per barrel sent the stock market

When I was new in town, the other drawing professor invited me over for dinner. We had stuffed green peppers. It was a sign. We had an adversarial relationship for 20 years. My mouth waters when I think about some things, but my mouth never waters when I think about bagels. I just like them. I have been told that it’s the water in New
downhill. Interest rates have been low for so long we might forget what actually happens to our fixed income assets when rates creep up — they go down. This is not good for our retirees living on a fixed income. Falling unemployment could eventually lead to wage inflation which is good for the wage-earner but is a sure recipe for higher prices down the road. All of this is being digested in the markets in anticipation for the 2015 outlook. The most significant headwind is the stagnation in Europe. This comes along with political agendas in several countries that are not citizen-friendly. Greece is leading the pack with unrest in Parliament and continued liquidity problems. The fear is that the recession contagion could spread to other countries. Japan declared they are in recession recently and China continues to juggle social issues and slowing a massive economy without a catastrophe. The economic cycle proves that bad news can lead to possibilities. If the European Central Bank (ECB) steps up and creates the cash flow the Eurozone needs to grow

comment during board meetings to only five minutes. For a democratically elected school board that constantly extols itself as “bold” and “courageous” this strikes me as, well, not so courageous. There is, however, one form of “engagement” with the
York that makes New York bagels so good. They had to bring water into New York a hundred years ago or more, and it’s so pure that it doesn’t need filtration. But my New York hotel pipes could use a little filtration. The water tastes a little like a Polish sausage. Speaking of Poland.

out of the doldrums, they could see a stock market climb similar to our last five years. If China can manage a “soft” landing and churn out 7 percent GDP and grow from that, all trading partners will be happy. If the United States can manage decent economic growth without instant inflation, we can once again experience the Goldilocks economy for a while. There are many moving parts but many possibilities.

will work on patrol. It’s only limited by what they want to give back to the agency.” The sheriff’s office hopes to accept 20 Douglas County residents for the program depending on the level of interest. Reserve deputies will be provided with everything they need to serve except their firearm and boots, which they
must purchase themselves. The county has a list of approved gun manufacturers like Colt, Smith & Wesson and Glock. The weapons must be a .40 or .45 caliber and must be inspected by sheriff’s officials before they are put in use. “They will have the same legal authority as a full-time employee while there at work,” Peiczmeier said. “A reserve deputy is only a ‘deputy’ when they are under the guidance and umbrella of a full-time commissioned member.” Reserve deputies will have no legal authority when they are off duty.
The sheriff’s office will hold an open house informational meeting about the program Jan. 24 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Highlands Ranch Law Enforcement Training Facility, 6001 Ron King Trail. The reserve program hopes to put more officers in the community while mitigating the cost of hiring the same number of full-time officers. “This is a vision of Sheriff (Tony) Spurlock. By increasing volunteers here in the reserve program as well as programs like safety volunteers, it’s a force multiplier,” DCSO public information officer Ron Hanavan said.

711 E. Yale Ave., Denver. “The Highlands Ranch area itself is growing. Anything we can grow with is great.” Established in 1913, the school has been on Yale Avenue since 1949. But staff — some who have taught there for 40 years — and students are excited for the move. “It has been in discussion for about 20 years,” said Principal Toakase Vunileva. “It’s a miracle we have an opportunity to move into this new location.” The lot was home to one location of Denver Christian Schools for 26 years, prior to its last day of school in Highlands Ranch on May 23. Denver Christian Schools moved to a larger lot in Lakewood to consolidate its three locations onto one campus. Mile High Academy is relocating because it has outgrown its five-acre location on Yale Avenue. In the three years since she has been principal, Vunileva said enrollment has steadily increased. The school has 190 students, but the goal is to have 700 students by 2025. The additional 10 acres at the Highlands Ranch location will allow the school to grow. Renovation of the inside is already underway, with plans for future expansions of the structure, Hammond said. About 75 percent of its students live south and east of its current location. The new site right off of C-470, Vunileva said, will be more accessible. However, Mile High Academy is a commuting school, she said, so families are already accustomed to traveling.

Offered monthly: Mile High Academy students, 10th-grader Allison Getrost, back, and 9th-grader Benjamin Watson, right, work on a robotics project. The school, presently located in Denver, will be moving to Highlands Ranch for the 2015-2016 school year. Photo by Christy Steadman Mile High Academy “looks forward to joining the Highlands Ranch community, introducing them to our current friends and partners, and creating new partnerships,” Hammond said. “We are an involved and active school that desires to include the community around us.” The new school will be a great addition to the community, because it has the caliber of academic excellence this area is accustomed to, said Andrea LaRew, president of the Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce. Also, she added, bringing more children and families to the community creates new opportunities for businesses to partner with a reputable academic organization. Mile High Academy draws students from all faiths and has a number of community partners, including all the Adventist hospitals in Denver and outly-
ing areas, Hammond said. Students also are involved with community outreach, she added. For example, students work with ACS Community Lift, which helps Denver-area individuals and families in different stages of need. “We are uniquely Christian,” Vunileva said. “The core of who we are comes from that.” The school emphasizes arts, leadership and technology in education, and hopes to expand its programs in music, athletics and science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Suzuki strings — violin, viola and cello — instruction is part of required curriculum for pre-kindergarten through sixth-grade students. “We’re a small school that provides a solid academic experience. We’re like a family here,” she said. “Highlands Ranch shares the family values that Mile High has.”

A glimpse of students’ talent
Littleton schoolchildren let creativity shine in ACC gallery show By Jennifer Smith
jsmith @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College will host the Littleton Public Schools District Art Show from Jan. 21 through Feb. 10. “We have about 160 pieces of artwork in the show of all types, 2D and 3D, painting to drawing, jewelry, ceramics and sculpture,” said Anna Spillen, art teacher at Options High School. Spillen points to research compiled by the Online College website to support the idea that art has a positive effect on learning. But a 2009 survey, part of the “Nation’s Report Card: Arts 2008,” that found only 47 percent of students had access to visual arts education, and just 57 percent to music education. “Middle-school students across the nation haven’t seen an increase in access to music and visual arts education, and their understanding of its tenets remains low — especially in certain disenfranchised socioeconomic and racial groups,” reads the website. “Many believe the numbers are even worse today, as the survey was conducted prior to the economic woes that have paralyzed many schools systems in recent years.” But in LPS, all students from kindergartners on up to seniors have the opportunity to participate in the annual art show. Every visual arts teacher in LPS chooses up to five pieces of artwork created by their students to put in the show, which is judged by the ACC gallery staff. Winners will be announced about a week after the show begins. Admission is free and open to the public Monday through Friday, noon to 5 p.m. On Tuesdays, it will stay open until 7 p.m. A closing reception will be held on Feb. 10, 5 to 7 p.m. The Colorado Gallery of the Arts is on the first floor of the ACC Annex building at 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive in Littleton. For more information, contact Spillen at aspillen@lps.k12.co.us.
Elitch Lanes, the 63-year-old bowling alley at 3825 Tennyson St., will host its last bowlers on May 17 when the lease on the historic building runs out. Business owner Cal Eichinger, who’s owned the kitschy place for 13 years and has been in the bowling biz for 40 years, said he wasn’t surprised when landowner Littleton Capital Partners declined to renew the lease. With Denver’s land values hitting record highs, Eichinger figured that the landlord can sell the site for beaucoup bucks or lease it to a tenant with deeper pockets. An email and phone call to Littleton Capital Partners were not returned. The building housing the bowling alley was built around 1900 as a trolley turnaround structure that was later converted to a coal barn, Eichinger said. It was part of the original Elitch Gardens amusement park and performing arts center location on West 38th. The Gardens moved, but the Lanes didn’t. Eichinger said he’s been notifying the regulars little by little. “Some of the seniors are so bummed out,” he said. But there’s a chance that Elitch Lanes will roll on in a new venue. Eichinger, who owns the name Elitch Lanes, said he’s meeting with another landowner today to discuss taking over an existing bowling alley 4.4 miles (he wouldn’t say which direction) from the existing business, which likely will take him to the ‘burbs. “This center is so unique, I’ve never been anywhere like it,” said Eichinger who’s worked in and visited roughly 100 bowling alleys. “Our customer base is so cool — it’s a true crosssection of ages and ethnicities.” To thank that customer base, Eichinger said he and his crew will throw a big exit bash around the May 17 closing date.
Missing these eateries
While I much prefer to write about restaurant openings in our fair city, inevitably there are those that close. Some are big losses to our Mile High palate, others were more obviously headed for an epic fail. Thrillist.com, the irreverent food and drink website, has compiled a list of the “12 shuttered Denver bars and restaurants that we’ll miss.” They are: Bonanno Bros. Pizzeria in the Vistas at Park Meadows, Catacombs Bar in Boulder, Corner House Neighborhood Eatery in Jefferson Park, Chef Liu’s Authentic Chinese Cuisine in Aurora, Le Grande Bistro & Oyster Bar downtown, Ondo’s Spanish Tapas Bar in Cherry Creek, Oshima Ramen in southeast Denver, Row 14 Bistro & Wine Bar downtown, Restaurant Kevin Taylor downtown, twelve restaurant in Ballpark, TAG Raw Bar Larimer Square, T-Wa Inn southwest Denver. Read more about each closure at www. thrillist.com/eat/denver/denver-bars-andrestaurants-that-closed.
Chihuly adds to Gardens draw
Colorado, a new glass sculpture by artist Dale Chihuly, is now on view in Denver Botanic Gardens’ Ellipse garden at 1007 York St. The work has been added to the Gardens’ permanent collection through the generosity of private donors including Robert and Judi Newman, John and Ginny Freyer and the RC Kemper Charitable Trust. It is made up of 1,017 hand-blown glass elements and stands more than 14 feet tall. Viewing of Colorado is included in Gardens’ admission.

COLOMBIA: A Powder Keg?

Women-only event is about designing life Day will include cocktails, fashion, guest speakers By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com If a day of mimosas, swag bags and fashion shows with your girlfriends sounds like your ideal bonding time, you’re in luck. The Women Inspired Together organization will be hosting Luscious Living 2015: Designing an Extraordinary and Exquisite Life Jan.25 at the Pardera Club-
house in Parker, 5225 Raintree Drive. The all-day event will feature guest speakers and fashion, and will touch on all aspects of being a woman. “It will be a day of a lot of fun but there will also be a lot of good advice and shared experiences,” said Leslie Gustafson, one of the program’s founders. “We want to have a good time, but there is a content component to everything we do.” Gustafson, a marriage and sex therapist and coach, helped form Women Inspired Together a year ago along with Jamie Smith, a fitness lifestyle spokesperson, choreographer and model. “We had both been thinking about creating something similar, and once we
met and got to know each other, it just clicked,” Gustafson said. Luscious Living will be the third and largest event the pair have hosted. They have also put on a group hiking day and a girls’-night-out event called White Diamond. The Luscious Living event will walk women through different ways that they can help “design” their own lives and include everything from marriage and relationship advice to achieving education, career and fitness goals. While it is not a networking event, Gustafson said it is an opportunity to meet like-minded women in the community.
“Some women may be worried about coming alone, but I want people to know that this is a safe, nurturing environment. You don’t need be afraid to come by yourself. We’ll be ready to welcome you with open arms,” Gustafson said. Husbands and boyfriends need to be left at home, however. “It’s not for you,” Gustafason said. “This is about bringing women together, inspiring each other and creating a community.” Tickets for the event cost $59 and can be purchased at womeninspiredtogether. com

Jaguars’ Super Seniors Rock Canyon senior guards shed their supporting roles, thrive as scorers, team leaders By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com The cast has changed for the Rock Canyon girls basketball team. Offensive stalwarts Lexy Thorderson, Kendall Koslosky, Erin McClarie and Morgan Roos graduated, which means this season’s starting 5-foot-6 senior guards Kendall Smith and Delaney Sullivan have shed their supporting roles and have become team leaders. Smith and Sullivan were defensive sparkplugs the past three seasons, and their key contributions were to feed the team’s shooting stars. This season, Smith and Sullivan are the Jaguars’ scoring leaders. “We both played more of a defensive role last year, and this year we’re more leaders; we have to score more and control the play,” Seniors continues on Page 20

Golden Eagles win mat match All Mountain Vista’s wrestlers post bout victories By Tom Munds
tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Mountain Vista’s wrestling team launched the 2015 portion of the schedule on a high note by winning all seven matches they wrestled in the Jan. 7 dual meet against Heritage. “We are a small team as far as numbers and forfeit six weights,” Golden Eagles Coach Adam Bittler said. “We have a couple seniors and some young guys, so we are cover all weights from 106 to 138. Then we have a gap until we reach the point in the schedule for our couple guys at 182 and 195 to wrestle. But the seven or eight guys we do have are wrestling well for us.” Eight seniors on last year’s team graduated, and there was a small group of freshmen who came to the high school from the youth group, he said. “Most of this year’s eighth-graders from the youth group were not ready to compete in high school wrestling,” the coach said. “But I expect things to get better next year. Our youth program is stronger in the upper age group, and we expect 20 eighth-graders to join our team next season.” Youth programs are important to high school wrestling teams. On Jan. 7, the Heritage youth team invited Mountain Vista’s youth team to take part in a scrimmage. For about 45 minutes before the varsity match the young wrestlers took to the mat. When it was time for the varsity teams to take the mat, Mountain Vista came out strong. The Golden Eagle wrestlers recorded three straight wins with Justin Schroeder at 113, Tiegan Thomas Trujillo at 120 and Patrick Burns at 126 each pinning their opponent. Nolan Stritchko posted a 7-2 win at 138, sophomore Trent Schultz won at 182 and Drake Gunter pinned his 195-pound oppo-

said Smith, a three-year starter. “We play more of an offensive role. Last year we had Lexy Thorderson and other people to score. We lost four of our starters and shooters, so we have to shoot ourselves. We knew we were going to have to step up. I worked on shooting a lot, but maybe not as much as I should have.” Sullivan is enjoying the change. “It’s more fun this year just because it does put more responsibility on us, and we get to kind of run the show,” she said. “I’m more of a shooting guard, and she’s the point guard. There is definitely a lot more pressure. I’ve had to step up more and shoot more than I did last year, and we’ve both had to score a lot more. “We’ve known since our freshman year that a lot of players were going to leave us right before our senior year. Obviously our four starters last year left, and we knew at that point we would have to pick it up where they left it off and score a lot more.” Sullivan is scoring 14 points a game, shooting 44 percent from the field including 46.7 from the 3-point range. Smith is scoring at a 13.9 clip and ranks among the Continental League leaders in assists (2.8) and steals (3.1) per game. “Early on they were trying to figure out what their role was and how they had to be the scorers,” said Rock Canyon coach Becky Mudd. “Now they are figuring it out and are starting to run with it a little bit. They have
nent. Wrestling is both an individual and a team sport because the winner of each weight division match earns team points. A wrestler who outpoints his opponent earns three team points, but if the decision is 10 points or more it is a major decision and earns four team points. A technical fall, winning by 15 points or more, a pin and a forfeit each earn six team points. Heritage was awarded 36 team points because Mountain Vista forfeited six weigh classes. The Golden Eagles amassed 32 points with four pins, a technical fall and a decision, so, going into the final match of the night, Heritage led 36-32. The final watch was the 106-pound weight class matching Brandon Urroz from Heritage against Preston Weaver of Mountain Vista. The match was close with Weaver leading early. In the closing minute, Weaver scored points for putting Urroz on his back and won the match, 13-2. The major decision earned four team points so the final score was 36-36. But Mountain Vista was declared the match winner based on the criteria for the most pins. One of the Golden Eagles leaders is Trent Schultz. “Wrestling is my sport. It is the only sport I have every done and I want to put in the time to excel in it,” the sophomore said. “I started wrestling when I was three, I liked it and I just stuck with it.” He said he focused on getting better during the off season by spending more time in the weight room, working out harder in wrestling practices and watching his diet. “I am bigger and stronger coming into this season and I feel I am smarter because I am working harder on learning wrestling techniques as well as working harder in school,” he said. “I have grown since last year and I am now wrestling at 182 where I was at 160 last season.” He said it felt good Jan. 7 to make weight after the holidays and then to post a major decision in his first match of 2015.

taken over as the leaders not in just scoring but all aspects of our program. They’ve really worked hard. “They are both definitely bringing more offensively to our team. Delaney has improved huge in the amount of shots she is takes. She’ll knock down 3-pointer after 3-pointer. Kendall has worked a lot of her one-move dribble attack and pull up for a jump shot. She gets a lot of points that way, which we didn’t see a lot last year. “Both of them are also going to the basket better than they had before, which creates both ways. Now they get to the inside and knock down shots from the outside. We just rely on them so much more for offense.” Smith and Sullivan have adjusted well. “Not only do they know they have to shoot the ball, they are very comfortable doing it,” said Mudd. “They are very confident with the ball. They are doing a great job taking open shots and knowing that’s their role and just knocking them down. They are both great shooters. And not only that, they are very talented defensive players. They are so tough defensively and they are leaders. They are very competitive and bring our level of practice up every day. “The best thing about those kids, they didn’t skip a beat. They didn’t moan that we lost these good players. They really made this team their team. They stepped up as leaders and said now this is what we have to do. We changed our style because of our personnel. They’ve really thrived. They love the up tempo. We are really highlighting what they do well. They are great kids and fun to watch.”

Fracking Continued from Page 1
Silverthorn, Monson and Wasden all say they investigated the pros and cons of fracking independently before agreeing to appear on the fliers. None received compensation for their participation. “One thing we teach our kids to do is to look at all the information, use the scientific method and critical thinking to come to your own conclusion,” Silverthorn said, adding she did just that with fracking issues. “After weighing all the pros and cons, in my opinion, taxpayers come out ahead. (Some) of the revenue overall statewide from fracking comes back to education, so it’s not an additional tax burden on the people of Douglas County.” Silverthorn’s flier cites a University of Colorado study that says the oil and gas industry “brought more than $204 million in benefits and savings into Colorado schools in just one year.” Haubert couldn’t confirm how much the Douglas County School District has received. “I have not seen a Douglas-specific figure, though I imagine it is not record-breaking,” he wrote in an emailed response. “Funds tend to go where energy development occurs via property and severance tax (i.e. taxes paid on minerals extracted.)” At present, fracking is not underway in Douglas County.
A map from a University of Colorado study on CRED’s website of the distribution of 2012 property tax revenue from oil and natural gas activity shows Douglas County School District received no funds. School districts in Arapahoe and Elbert counties received $490,000 and $180,000 respectively. Additional funding for education is provided indirectly to school districts from the oil and gas taxes that go into the state general fund, and are redistributed into state education funds. Still another source of school funding is from federal mineral leases, according to the study. DCSD received about $9,600 in funds distributed from those federal mineral leases in 2014. Parent Heather Ertl questions Silverthorn’s involvement in CRED’s campaign. “I think a school board member shouldn’t be promoting fracking in the manner that she is,” said Ertl, a fracking opponent. “She’s an elected official who apparently holds the respect of some people in our community. “She’s making it sounds like our schools are really benefiting from fracking,” she said. “It’s a twist of the truth.” Silverthorn’s largest fall 2013 campaign donation came from oil and gas man Alex Cranberg. Cranberg, chairman of Aspect Holdings LLC, gave $25,000 each to the four ultimately successful, pro-education reform candidates. “Regardless of whether Mr. Cranberg had given (me) money or not, the oil and gas industry does benefit our
schools here,” Silverthorn said. “I find it interesting that a lot of people seem to think that because he gave money to my campaign, I must owe him something. That’s not the way my principles work.” Silverthorn also said she is speaking for herself, not the rest of the school board or DCSD. Haubert said the benefits to Douglas County go well beyond education. In 2012, the industry was directly or indirectly responsible for 774 Douglas County jobs, and almost $80 million in total labor income. Wasden, who lives in Highlands Ranch and owns PROformance Apparel in Littleton, said the natural gas industry helps his business and others grow and create jobs. “I think people in the metro area don’t understand how important this industry is,” he said. “There are over 6,000 jobs in Arapahoe County that support or tie directly into oil or gas. It has a big, significant impact.” Heavy equipment at Wasden’s apparel shop consumes a lot of energy, he said. “Low-cost, sustainable, reliable energy is important to our store,” Wasden said. “And certainly as an American, I like American domestic energy produced here at home that supports American jobs and families.” Like Silverthorn, Monson speaks in support of fracking as an individual, not for the City of Lone Tree or other councilmembers. “It’s based on the idea that I think affordable and efficient, responsible energy is crucial for a robust and prosperous society where each individual can go after their hopes and dreams,” she said.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Making contact with a former colleague might not be high on your list of priorities. But it could pay off personally as well as professionally. Avoid bringing up any negatives about the past. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A personal relationship could face added stress because of a situation involving someone close to both of you. Be supportive and, above all, try to avoid playing the blame game. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) You might well find some lingering uncertainties about a decision. If so, take that as a warning that you might not be ready to make that move yet. More study would be in order. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Music is a dominant theme for Sagittarians right now, and it should remind you to make a greater effort to restore some much-needed harmony in that very special relationship. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Although family matters might demand much of the Sea Goat’s attention this week, you’ll want to try to make time to handle those all-important workplace situations as well. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A recurring unresolved issue might need to be revisited before you can move forward. Consider asking someone familiar with the situation to act as an impartial counselor. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Ignore pressure to make a decision. Keeping your options open is still the wisest course, at least until you’re sure you’ve learned all you need to know about the matter at hand. BORN THIS WEEK: You’re capable of great loyalty to those around you, which is one reason you can count on devotion from friends and family.
