Board seeking waiver on test

IN THE GROOVE

Douglas County joins Jeffco in pursuit of opt-out By Jane Reuter

Allison Park of the Denver and District Pipe Band dances a solo Highland dance routine at the Cherry Hills Community Church Jan. 22. Park’s dance was part of the Bagpipes and Irish Dancers show, one of the four performances of the Winter Cultural Series brought by the Highlands Ranch Community Association. About 300 people filled the chapel at Cherry Hills Community Church Jan. 22 to see a show of bagpipes and Irish dancing — the second performance part of the Highlands Ranch Community Association’s Winter Cultural Series. The performers, Denver and District Pipe Band, included 22 bagpipers and drummers, and accompanying the music was the group’s dance sections of eight Irish and eight Scottish/ Highland dancers. The show included an hourand-a-half of traditional Irish and Highland music and dance, but the “Cotton-Eyed Joe” and the “Sailors’ Hornpipe” was thrown into the mix. Tickets are still available for the series’ last two performances this year—ballet and modern dance on Feb. 5, and Broadway sings the classics on Feb. 19.

Though questions still surround the state’s ability to allow it, the Douglas County School Board voted Jan. 20 to submit a waiver from a lengthy standardized March test. If the board’s request is granted, that means students wouldn’t have to take part of the PARCC, or Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College & Career test. The new state assessment of reading, writing and math skills is scheduled to be given to all third- through 11th-grade students this spring. It’s a sister test to the CMAS, or Colorado Measures of Academic Success, which assessed students’ social studies and science skills. Thousands of Colorado seniors refused to take the CMAS in late 2014, with many saying the six-hour test had no bearing on their futures and took time away from other, more relevant studies. The Colorado Board of Education voted Jan. 8 to allow school districts to seek waivers from administering the first part of PARCC tests. Questions have arisen over whether the board has the authority to grant the waivers. Nevertheless, the Jefferson County Board of Education approved a Jan. 15 resolution also seeking a waiver from PARCC assessments. “We know at the state level it’s not settled,” Douglas County School Board president Kevin Larsen said. “But some of us are now saying, ‘We’d like to get in line.’ Whatever door PARCC continues on Page 7

Should athletes specialize in one sport? Experts are divided, but it’s becoming common for high-schoolers, evident this girls basketball season By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Kelsey Ubben is among an increasingly rare breed of athlete. The Douglas County High School senior plays volleyball for the Huskies and for her club team, the Colorado Volleyball Association. She also is playing basketball this winter for her school. “My club coach is really flexible with me and my basketball schedule, which is awesome,” the 6-foot Ubben said. “The variUbben ety is awesome because you are using your body in different ways than you would in one sport, you get to know more people and it’s just more fun.” But athletes like Ubben could be on the path to extinction. The era of single-sport specialization

at the high school level has arrived. Intense year-round training in one sport, to the exclusion of others, has become the norm. “The goal to become the next Olympian or more commonly, to obtain a college scholarship, motivates many parents to encourage their children to specialize in one sport at a young age,” states the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine. In a position statement published in 2014, the organization said intense focus on one sport at an early age may increase the risk for overuse injuries and burnout. Specialization is a trend that is particularly evident in girls sports, with basketball and volleyball players, among the most notable examples, often sticking to one pursuit or the other. This, despite the similar skills and physical attributes, like height, that are prized on both courts. The Colorado High School Activities Association has taken notice, saying that girls basketball is none the better for it.

are demanding full-time participation from the athletes in their clubs, telling them they cannot play other sports. This is concerning to CHSAA, if true, because we believe that students should play multiple sports and have found that many athletes at the higher levels (Olympics, professional, NCAA) were multi-sport athletes. Additionally, from the non-athletic side, they are more rounded students with broader life experiences, and that can translate into a stronger adult.”

Photo by Jim Benton “There is still a concern not only in Colorado, but nationally, that many girls are specializing in volleyball rather than playing both sports,” CHSAA assistant commissioner Bert Borgmann wrote in an email to Colorado Community

Media. “I know the NCAA has expressed concern that the best athletes are no longer playing basketball, but focusing full time on volleyball. One of the reasons they have given is that volleyball clubs

Club teams are never far from the conversation when it comes to specialization. These teams offer training and activities most of the year. That helps an athlete develop the skills to have the opportunity to participate at the collegiate or sometimes professional level. But are clubs hurting high school sports in general, and more specifically, girls basketball? People are lining up on both sides of the debate. “You can make the exact same Club continues on Page 23

Man with post-polio syndrome skis again 81-year-old hits the slopes after 22 years of partial paralysis By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com In 1992, Severance Kelley hung up his skis and resigned himself to the fact he would never ski again. The symptoms of post-polio syndrome — a paralysis that had spread to both legs —forced him to give up the only sport he enjoyed. Until last April, that is, when the 81-yearold retired psychiatrist and war veteran who lives at Wind Crest in Highlands Ranch, was up on the mountain again, riding down on a seated ski apparatus. “We went up, and I had a great time,” Kelley said, referring to his instructor at the National Sports Center for the Disabled in Winter Park. “I decided I’d have to do more of that.” Post-polio syndrome is a condition that affects polio survivors years after recovery from an initial, acute attack of the polio vi-

rus. Kelley had polio as an infant. In 1990, he began to have difficulty lifting his right leg, he said, and eventually he also lost use of his left leg. He self-diagnosed with postpolio syndrome somewhere around 1995, he said, which was validated by a neurologist in 1999. The National Institutes of Health state “some individuals experience only minor symptoms, while others develop visible muscle weakness and atrophy.” Kelley is nearly paralyzed from the waist down, and uses an electric scooter to get around. However, he has maintained upperbody strength through frequent exercise. “My legs are very limited now,” Kelley said, but added that when he was skiing, he wasn’t really using his legs. “The snow and gravity does all the work.” Kelley’s inspiration to start skiing again came after watching the Paralympic Games on television last winter. “I was intrigued by what these people can do,” he said. He paid special attention to downhill skiing, and seeing the competitors’ accomplishments, he decided to contact the center in Winter Park. “They said something along the lines of, `Come on up! You’ll have a ball!’ ” Kelley said. People who participate in lessons with the center benefit in a variety of ways, said Becky Zimmermann, the center’s president and CEO. “The absolute No. 1 is that it builds selfconfidence and self-esteem,” she said, which is followed by increasing their ability and motivation. “We work with them, and their abilities, toward what they want to accomplish.” Everybody who comes up has a stated goal, and everybody’s goal is different, Zimmermann said. For example, she said, a person who suffered a stroke may have a goal of using the left side of the body, or a child with a behavioral disability may have a goal of making a friend. Kelley seemed to be less focused on a physical goal, but more on an emotional one, his instructor, Jeremiah Baltzer, said. “Kind of to get back into the nostalgia of skiing,” Baltzer said, and added Kelley talked about his days of youth spent skiing. “I think we surpassed his goal.”

Dr. Severance Kelley, an 81-year-old retired psychiatrist and war veteran with post-polio syndrome, went skiing again last April for the first time in 22 years. Pictured is Kelley on a Mountain Man bi-ski at the National Sports Center for the Disabled in Winter Park. Courtesy photo The two skied about seven or eight runs, with Kelley using a Mountain Man bi-ski. It has an upright seat situated on two skis with an air shock underneath. “It provides a smooth, comfortable ride,” Baltzer said. The equipment also includes two handheld outriggers similar to ski poles, which allows the skier to control speed and direction. “You use the outrigger skis and lean your body left and right to steer,” Kelley said. “Toward the end, I was doing better because I was using my body for control.” The instructors, on regular skis, tether themselves at the wrists to the bi-ski, which allows a secondary source for speed and control. “I was a beginner on this apparatus,” Kelley said. “But by the end of the session, I was controlling it about 50 percent of the

way.” Kelley was born in West Virginia, and attended medical school at George Washington University in D.C. He was drafted into the Air Force when he was 31 and stationed in Utah. That’s when he took up skiing. Kelley married his wife, Inez, an Air Force nurse, in 1965. In 1970, the couple moved to Colorado so Kelley, then retired from the Air Force, could pursue psychiatry work. They had two children, one of whom grew up to love skiing as Kelley did. And although skiing on the bi-ski is quite different than skiing with good legs, Kelley said he’s glad to be riding the ski lift and going down in the snow. “I’ve seen what they do at the Paralympics, so I know it’s possible,” he said. “Maybe I’m not as good as the 20- or 30-yearolds, but it’s still fun to do.”

Innovative school honored by Apple Redstone Elementary iPad program achieves its goal By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Highlands Ranch’s Redstone Elementary recently added another honor to its growing list of accolades when the Apple computer company named it an Apple Distinguished School. The program recognizes schools for innovation, leadership and educational excellence. Redstone was recognized for its accomplishments during the Jan. 20 Douglas County school board meeting. The honor recognizes Redstone’s iPad program. In 2012, the school achieved its years-long goal of putting an iPad in each student’s hands. Since then, student enthusiasm for learning has leapt. “We know students are way more engaged when they have technology in their hands,” principal Laura Wilson said. “We can’t keep teaching kids the way we’ve always taught kids. A lot of research shows our kids are bored. We’ve got to start moving and growing with the kinds of students we’re getting.” Wilson most recently witnessed the impact in a secondgrade classroom, where some students already are learning multiplication tables. “Kids can move at their own pace rather than waiting for everybody to catch up by just embedding some apps that will move them further along,” she said. “We are focused on letting our kids drive the bus.” Redstone is the only DCSD school with a one-to-one iPad ratio, Wilson said. But the staff is doing its part to help other schools follow their lead. “It’s going way beyond the boundaries of our four walls,” she said. “We honestly have set the stage for Douglas County

on how to program iPads, how to manage them, the safety features — all the components it really takes to embed iPads into an educational setting. We do tours all year long for schools all over the state of Colorado.” Redstone plans this year to invite educators from across the country to visit and learn more about its iPad initiative. Wilson and her staff also wrote a book outlining the process that Apple will publish. “We could have sold it or put it out there for free, and we decided to put it out for free for educational institutions,” she said. “It will be on (Apple’s) platform for any school to use.” Wilson was principal at Redstone Elementary the day it opened in 2006. She attributes its awards and recognition to a high-quality teaching staff, shared school vision and enthusiastic students. Among the school’s recent honors: It is among just four DSCD schools that received both the Governor’s Distinguished Achievement and John Irwin awards in 2014. It earned an A-plus rating on Colorado School Grades’s most recent rankings. Its score placed it 14th among 1,101 Colorado elementary schools. Only two other Douglas County schools — Parker Core Knowledge charter in first place and Platte River Academy charter, tying Redstone for 14th place — also earned an A-plus rating from the coalition. That placement is a long way from the 115th place Redstone occupied four years ago. Wilson, named a 2012 National Distinguished Principal by the National Association of Elementary School Principals, reflected on all that as she drove home from the Jan. 20 board meeting. “I was thinking, ‘Look where we’ve come,’” she said. “We definitely are a school that moves, grows and learns. But it’s not about trying to be the best; it’s about doing what’s best for kids.”

Douglas County gets road funds from DRCOG Lane widening on highway will consume bulk of money By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Roads in Douglas County will be getting the funding needed for important safety updates and improvements. The county received $27.2 million for various road projects and updates at the Jan. 21 meeting of the Denver Regional Council of Governments. The largest chunk of the money, $15 million, will go toward lane widening at the north end of Highway 85. According to Douglas County, the remainder of the money, $12.2 million, will be spread across Castle Rock, Parker, Lone Tree and other county streets for road improvements, safety updates and bike lanes “In a time of less for funding transportation projects, for us as a county to be able to keep up with the needs of the community and provide a safe and effective multi-road transportation system is wonderful,” Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge said. The council of governments is a nonprofit collaborative association of 56 county and municipal governments in the Denver region working together to address transportation and aging needs. Established in 1995, it is one of the country’s three oldest councils of governments. Members include nine metro-area counties and 47 municipalities. “It’s a competitive process,” Partridge said. “It really comes down to equity and need and how well we present and communicate our needs.” Partridge pointed to the county’s ability to rally its individual communities and work together for a common goal as the reason for the windfall of funds. “It’s a tribute to partnership when you see staff from Castle Rock, Parker, Lone Tree and the county all working together to bring tax dollars back to the county,” Partridge said. Federal transportation planning dollars make up the majority of DRCOG’s funding. Participating members pay dues based on their population and assessed valuation, which contribute 8 percent of DRCOG’s budget and provide local match for federal funds. According to Partridge, the county does not yet have start dates for the individual projects and described them as long term. He said he expects some work to begin in 2016 and continue for several years.

Seminar presents ‘retirement map’ Speaker offers advice to Highlands Ranch residents By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Linda Sorrento opened her seminar by telling people they would not leave with a to-do list; rather they would leave with a retirement map. The group, 50 & Better Together, a new program sponsored by the Senior Outreach Services arm of the Highlands Ranch Metro District, brought Sorrento to Highlands Ranch to give her seminar, “Rewarding Retirement!: Designing Your Time, Fulfilling Your Life.” “A lot of people have ideas about their retirement, but haven’t mapped it out yet,” said Senior Outreach Services coordinator Jodie McCann. The seminar drew about 100 people Jan. 21 at the James H. LaRue Library. There was such a demand for it that McCann decided to invite Sorrento back for another presentation of the seminar on March 9, which also is filled to capacity. However, McCann said, there is a waiting list for the March 9 seminar that people are welcome to put their name on. A third presentation may be needed, she said, but as of yet, there are no definite plans in place. Sorrento “is a really dynamic person,” said McCann, who has been acquainted with her for at least a decade. “She’s passionate to help people reach their goals and aspirations for this time in their life.” When most people start thinking about their retirement, Sorrento said, finances usually comes first. But “we’re not talking about money,” she said, “we’re talking about time.” The main nonfinancial concerns of retirement are boredom, isolation and feeling irrelevant, Sorrento said. The past view of retirement included three boxes of life, said Sorrento, citing a work by Richard Nelson Bolles. They are education, ages 5-22; work, ages 22-62 or 65; retire, ages 62 or 65 and beyond. “When you finished a box, you never

ATTENDEES LEARN FROM SEMINAR Linda Sorrento presented her seminar, “Rewarding Retirement!: Designing Your Time, Fulfilling Your Life” to residents of Highlands Ranch on Jan. 21. The seminar was very worthwhile, said Highlands Ranch resident Christine Friesen, who is approaching her retirement years. “There were ideas presented that you never would have thought about before,” she said. Daniel Muroney, a Highlands Ranch resident who retired from South Metro Fire Rescue last October, said the seminar was good for the resources Sorrento made available, and for networking with other people who also want part-time, fun things to do. “People in this age group have life experience,” said Muroney’s wife, Robin, a paramedic instructor. “There are so many

different kinds of work or volunteer opportunities that people aren’t aware of.” The delivery of the seminar is amazing, said Jervis DiCicco, a financial advisor and public speaker on retirement income planning. “Using a map as a metaphor is a helpful way for people to visualize their retirement,” he said. “A step-by-step process of self-discovery helps you start to see how you can have a fulfilling retirement.” Learn more The seminar, which attracted a sold-out audience, was brought by 50 & Better Together, a new outreach program sponsored by the Senior Outreach Services arm of the Highlands Ranch Metro District.

Reservations had to close at 95 people for the Jan. 21 seminar, Senior Outreach Services coordinator Jodie McCann said. Another seminar is scheduled for 5:30-7 p.m. March 9 at the James H. LaRue library, 9292 Ridgeline Blvd., Highlands Ranch, but it has already reached maximum capacity. However, people are welcome to place a name on the waiting list, McCann said.

on a person’s sense of purpose, and includes everything — physical activity, lifelong learning, and being social with

hobbies and interests, work and volunteer opportunities, she said. Sorrento encouraged people to think about their wishes and dreams — anything that sparks their imagination, she said. “All ideas are valid.” In retirement, a person can afford to look foolish, Sorrento said, so people can give themselves permission to try something new or something they think they wouldn’t be good at. “Plant the seeds that might work for you. You don’t know what’s going to happen when you go down these paths,” she said. “But don’t over-commit. You’re very talented. They’re going to want you.” Sorrento concluded the seminar with having attendees begin to design their map, by filling out sections of four nonfinancial keys to healthy aging: physical fitness; social; work/volunteer/hobbies/ interests; and sense of purpose. The retirees, or soon-to-be-retired people, of Highlands Ranch who attended the seminar would like to go fly fishing, learn Spanish, make stained-glass art, play pickleball, visit famous sports stadiums around the world and every state capitol building in the U.S., develop a physics class, use their Master Gardener certification and ride a motorcycle on seven continents. In 1989, Sorrento worked on a cruise ship where she was able to have conversations with a lot of retired people, she said. Most of them told her they “loved being retired, but their day-to-day life was boring,” Sorrento said. Others, she said, admitted to being scared of retirement. That is how the course got its start, Sorrento said, but it was not designed until 2000. Since then, she has taught it for the City of Westminster and Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. Presently, the course is taught several times a year at Arapahoe Community College. The seminar Highlands Ranch residents received was an adapted version of the course to fit an hour-and-half time frame. Retirement is no longer sitting in a rocking chair waiting for time to pass, Sorrento said. “I really believe this can be the best time of your life,” she said.

A new outreach program called 50 & Better Together, which is sponsored by the Senior Outreach Services part of the Highlands Ranch Metro District, brought Linda Sorrento to Highlands Ranch to give her seminar, “Rewarding Retirement!: Designing Your Time, Fulfilling Your Life.” Pictured is Senior Outreach Services coordinator Jodie McCann, left, with Sorrento at the event.

EDUCATION BRIEFS Schools receive state awards Four Douglas County schools recently were awarded two of the state’s highest honors, and 21 others earned one of those distinctions from the Colorado Department of Education. Parker Core Knowledge, and Highlands Ranch’s Northridge, Redstone and Saddle Ranch elementary schools received both the 2014 Governor’s Distinguished Improvement and John Irwin awards. Schools receiving the Governor’s Distinguished Improvement award alone include Highlands Ranch’s Copper Mesa and Coyote Creek, Castle Rock’s Flagstone and Soaring Hawk and Lone Tree elementary schools. Those receiving the John Irwin award alone include Castle Rock’s Academy Charter, Buffalo Ridge, Castle Pines’ Timber Trail Elementary, American Academy and DCS Montessori, Parker’s North Star Academy and Pine Grove Elementary, Highlands

Ranch’s Heritage, Stone Mountain and Wildcat Mountain elementary schools, Platte River Academy, STEM School and Academy, Mountain Ridge and Rocky Heights middle schools, and Mountain Vista and Rock Canyon high schools. The Governor’s Distinguished Improvement award recognizes schools that demonstrate excellent student growth. A total of 128 Colorado schools earned the award in 2014. John Irwin Awards recognize schools that demonstrate excellent academic achievement. In 2014, 160 Colorado schools earned the award. State education commissioner Robert Hammond recognized the schools and districts during a December 2014 awards ceremony at the CDE’s Denver offices. DCSD superintendent Elizabeth Fagen and the school board again recognized them during the Jan. 20 board of education meeting.

The school recently was named a Leader in Me Lighthouse School by Franklin Covey. The national honor recognizes outstanding achievements gained through the “The Leader in Me” framework. The “Leader in Me” program is inspired by Covey’s 1989 book, “7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” “‘Leader in Me’ has changed the entire culture and climate of the school,” Legacy Point principal Joanna Polzin said. “Students own everything they do, because they utilize the Seven Habits.

Furthermore, our students create and maintain systems to track academic progress, so that they are in control of their learning.” Polzin said a number of families have enrolled students at Legacy Point because of its “Leader in Me” program. Since its official launch six years ago, nearly 2,000 public, private, charter and magnet schools across 35 countries have adopted the “Leader in Me” program. The elementary school program is built around proven leadership skills that include being proactive, having a plan, working before playing, helping everyone win, understanding and listening, working together and finding balance.

Clarity, determination key to reaching goals It was a very clear focus and spirit of determination that propelled the climbers to the summit of El Capitan. The free climb was the first in history on that steep wall in Yosemite National Park. Teamwork and commitment with a very clear focus on winning the Super Bowl is what has brought the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks to the NFL’s most coveted game, which will be played on Feb. 1. Remarkable work ethic, skill, and perseverance coupled with a laser focus on winning every event she competes in helped Lindsey Vonn establish herself in the record books as the all-time winner in Women’s World Cup racing events. And it was clarity and focus that were the key factors in helping Margaret achieve her two goals, losing 50 pounds and giving up smoking. In her letter to me she said that she had been overweight for most of her life and she had been a smoker for more than 20 years. Now Margaret may not have summited El Capitan during a free climb or made her way to the Super Bowl, and I confirmed that she never competed in a Women’s World Cup event, but she kept her eye on her own prize with intense clarity and focus. Her prize was reclaiming her health, and with courage and determination she pursued it vigorously until she reached her ideal weight and has

officially become a non-smoker. And, by the way, Margaret says she was following some of the goal setting ideas I have shared in this column over the years. You see, goal setting is not just for professional athletes or teams. Goal setting is not just for businesses and sales people, goal setting is for everyone. The enemies of goal achievement are mediocrity and complacency allowing us to settle into the world of the average and also-rans. And when we have no goal or target to focus on, how can we ever keep our eye on the prize? If the enemies of goal achievement are mediocrity and complacency, it can be said that the friends of achieving our goals are excellence and focus.

I can remember sitting on the couch in 2008 and reading the newspaper about the worldly mayhem, and not particularly caring as much as I normally would. Because my father was dying — couldn’t eat, drink, talk. I missed all of the things that were headlines in news, sports and entertainment. I am not here with balloons or phrases from the Bible. When I am down, I am down. If someone were to say, “Lift your head up, sunshine,” I would want to get a sock full of manure. But I know that a lot of people look for inspiration — and hope — anywhere they

salesperson in our company? Could we have a deep desire to lose weight, build muscle, and become a more physically fit person? Maybe there is an addiction or habit that we need to quit and release ourselves from the grip that they hold over our lives. Whatever our goal is, whatever dream we are pursuing, we need to understand what it is and why we want it. The prize has to be clearly understood so that we can maintain our focused passion and our eyes upon that prize. Once we have that focus, the “how” part of our planning comes into play. But first we have to have the commitment in our hearts and the mindset of dedication in our heads before the strategies and tactics can be executed upon. Where our heads and our hearts go, our bodies will surely follow. Goal setting doesn’t discriminate, it is not a special event for the privileged few. Goal setting knows no age barriers and is open to everyone who has a dream. What’s your dream? Do you have a prize in mind? Is your eye clearly upon that prize? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we stay passionately focused on that prize, it really will be a better than good week.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Setting record straight on school ratings

We would like to take a moment to apologize to the students, teachers and staff of our Douglas County School District alternative education campuses for the misleading and derogatory comments quoted in a recent article written by Colorado Community Media reporter Jane Reuter. The statements quoted in the article implied that the Douglas County School District is Accredited with Distinction by the Colorado Department of Education solely because its alternative education campuses’ scores were removed from the CDE’s formula for accrediting school districts this year — leaving the reader to believe that the scores must have been poor. The truth is all three of DCSD’s alternative education campuses received a rating of AEC: Performance Plan; Performance is the highest rating available for any school. CDE’s accreditation formula was consistently applied to all Colorado schools and districts. The Douglas County School District is proud of all of its talented students, teachers, and staff. It is their hard work and dedication to something better in education for the 21st century that has led to DCSD being the only district over 30,000 students to earn CDE’s highest rating: AcLetters continues on Page 9

We all can play a role in fixing the debt

programs and interest on the debt. Higher federal debt translates into higher interest rates down the road and less capital available for small and mid-size businesses to borrow and invest. Families will then feel the effects of the rising debt as reduced investment can mean fewer jobs and lower wages while higher interest rates will make home, automobile, credit card, and even college loans more expensive. Rutherford B. Hayes stated, “Let every man, every corporation, and especially let every village, town, and city, every county and state, get out of debt and keep out of debt. It is the debtor that is ruined by hard times.”

Under current laws and operating practices, public debt will exceed the size of the economy by the late 2030s. If Congress continues to act irresponsibly or continues the practice of avoidance or kick the can down the road, debt will reach even higher. As recently as 2007, debt was only 35 percent of the economy. The post-World War II average is about 40 percent. The growth in projected debt is due chiefly to the aging population and growing health care costs, resulting in increased Social Security and federal health spending. By 2045, 100 percent of federal revenue will go toward our major entitlement programs and interest on the debt. There will be opportunities this year to reach agreements on deals that improve our fiscal situation. Those need to be approached with strong bipartisan support and a clear understanding of the importance of getting our fiscal house in order. We can and should accept nothing less than Congress making reducing our national debt a top priority. Additionally, President Obama needs to make this part of his final years as POTUS — to reduce the debt and burden on this and future

generations. The Campaign to Fix the Debt is a nonpartisan movement to put America on a better fiscal and economic path. More information about the movement can be found at http://www.fixthedebt.org/. “... (A)voiding likewise the accumulation of debt, not only by shunning occasions of expense, but by vigorous exertions in time of peace to discharge the debts which unavoidable wars have occasioned, not ungenerously throwing upon posterity the burden which we ourselves ought to bear.” — George Washington We need to be active in raising the issue, holding our elected officials accountable for failure to take action, and ensure candidates not only understand the importance of this debilitating issue but are willing to do something novel: Go to work on solving our national debt.

go into a Nigerian community and slaughter children, and gloat? I do not have an answer, and no cleric does either. The bright golden haze might be a glass of water when you are thirsty. Nothing more than that. There is an inverted fountain on a college campus out west. Twenty-four hours a day, water flows over river rocks into an off-center well. The chancellor said that he didn’t want another fountain that “squirted water into the air.” I used to sit next to the fountain and do

nothing. I didn’t say anything. I just sat there. The fountain was installed in 1968 just for me. I am sure of it. Fifty years later, a friend of mine said, “Sometimes the best thing to do — is nothing.” I think the friend was the fountain, following me to here. Jennifer knows about the fountain. We have seen it together. And I asked her to bring me back to it. In a baggie. Nope. This isn’t “Wuthering Heights.” Life kicks at us and kicks us down. Invariably and it’s inevitable. There may be a bright golden haze on the meadow for an hour or

two. But there are moments. Hexe and I went for walks together, and one day I asked her to marry me. There were wild strawberries. Later on I watched “Wild Strawberries” in film class. It looked familiar. I recommend it. But here it is. Hexe was a dachshund, and I was 5. Jennifer is supposed to take me back to the fountain, and nearby play “In My Life.”

“Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit the national debt.” — Herbert Hoover While Congress and the president will find no shortage of issues that will require their attention, one that needs to be front and center is our nation’s crippling debt. While here in Colorado we have experienced low unemployment rates and a strong economic recovery, that doesn’t dampen the fact that this is a serious, crippling issue we must address. While the federal budget deficit has decreased in the past few years, this decline follows an unprecedented increase in the deficit in prior years and remains high by historical standards. Today, public debt is more than 72 percent of our economy and is set to continue to rise, even with the economy poised to recover from the recent downturn. The Congressional Budget Office projects public debt will reach 78 percent of the economy by 2024. That is twice the historical average of 39 percent of the economy over the past 40 years. In just 10 years from today, three-fourths of all federal spending will go to mandatory

Talks on communications tower continue Sheriff ’s office gives update on new possible location By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has a lead on a new possible site for the safety communications tower proposed to be erected in Highlands Ranch. But the latest information on the location is not yet available for public release, said Chief Deputy Tim Moore. The location is not being released to protect the private property owner from being hassled or persuaded by the public, Moore said. He added that logistics need to be worked out, and the sheriff’s office and the private property owner have scheduled meetings. The purpose of the tower is to improve emergency communication in the

northern part of Douglas County for first responders, including law enforcement, fire departments, schools, public works and road crews. “Communication is everything,” Sheriff Tony Spurlock said. “We need to make sure we advance forward.” He added it is the sheriff’s responsibility “to provide the best service to the people of Douglas County,” which includes “adequate communication for the deputies that serve” them. Douglas County and Highlands Ranch should not be behind in utilizing the latest technology, Spurlock said. The 180-foot-tall tower was first proposed to be erected on the north side of Grigs Road, about one mile northwest of the intersection with Daniels Park Road, and southeast of the parking lot for the East-West Regional Trail. The property is owned by Centennial Water and Sanitation District, but it is in the Highlands Ranch Backcountry Wilderness Area, which is managed by the Highlands Ranch Open Space Conservation Area plan.

If the tower is built in this location, it will be visible from numerous areas, and this proposed location brought about a lot of public concern. The Highlands Ranch Community Association is not opposed to the erection of a tower to better the emergency communication for the Highlands Ranch community, said HRCA board member Brock Norris. However, he said, the organization wants a solution that will enable future generations to enjoy what the Backcountry presently offers — unobstructed vistas and a natural playground. Norris referred to the Backcountry as the jewel of Highlands Ranch. “Over the years, a great deal of effort has been spent on the planning of the Backcountry to keep its integrity as a pristine sanctuary that all Highlands Ranch residents can enjoy,” he said. Public feedback requested that the sheriff’s office look into alternative locations, Moore said. Norris added the sheriff’s office is taking these concerns into consideration, and is addressing them seriously.

“We have really evaluated a lot of things,” Moore said. “We’re doing everything we can to be able to not have to come back here and say it’s (definitely) going in the Backcountry.” Moore outlined all the possible locations the sheriff’s office has thus far considered — Highway 85 and Titan Road, Grace Presbyterian Church, Children’s Hospital, the Shea Buildings, McArthur Ranch Road and South Quebec Street, the Highlands Ranch Law Enforcement Training Facility on Highway 85 and existing Xcel Energy towers. Each one of them has a setback or obstacle, he said. These include not providing additional or adequate coverage, so a second tower would need to be erected; roofs not able to support the equipment; the terrain being too low, so a taller height would be needed, which would require the tower to be painted red and white and the installation of lights; regulations on not being able to build the tower to proper height; and existing towers to place the equipment on are not tall enough.

Ali Noorani, executive director of the National Immigration Forum, addresses the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce on Jan. 26. Photo by Jennifer Smith often spark national change. For example, the chamber can lobby state and even municipal elected officials to pass resolutions in support of reform and to implement nonpolarizing programs like job training and English as a

second language. And chamber leaders agree it’s an important issue to them. The event, which was followed by a press conference and roundtable event in Aurora that afternoon, was sponsored by the South Metro Chamber in conjunction with Douglas County Business Alliance, Denver South Economic Development Partnership and Colorado Business Roundtable. “Immigration reform affects all sectors of the business community, from workers to entrepreneurs looking to invest in Colorado,” said Natalie Harden, the chamber’s director of public policy and economic development. “The uncertainty created by the lack of a comprehensive strategy is damaging to Colorado’s overall economic growth.” Noorani noted that Colorado is uniquely situated to test run efforts at local reform, with a congressional slate that’s at least willing to talk about immigration. “And demographically, it’s a purple state,” he said. “The Colorado delegation is in a prime position for the Republicans to say we’ve got to lead on this, but they need to feel like somebody’s got their backs.” Moderation is key to the debate, said Noorani, but with the extremes often getting

more of the media spotlight, there’s a vacuum in the middle. He said the NFI won’t endorse candidates, but rather will try to get its message — opportunity, skill building and making it easier for immigrants to achieve legal status — out to all of them. “That’s one of the most important things, is for those here illegally to get legal, and to bring people into the system for the tax rolls,” he said. The NFI’s position is that more worker visas should be issued, and that a points system based on a person’s trade doesn’t work. “From our perspective, our communities need skilled engineers as much as it needs skilled farmworkers,” he said. NFI is also opposed to building a wall on the country’s southern border. Noorani points out that most of the criminal elements, like drugs and illegal immigrants, sneak in at existing ports of entry, so the focus should be on beefing up security at those locations. “Whatever happens, the most important thing that needs to take place is a functioning immigration system,” he said. “The best way to secure the border is to ease the pressure on the border.”

Board member sees value in school mosque visit Three students didn’t join annual field trip By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com A Highlands Ranch middle school trip to a mosque, a long-standing feature of its seventh-grade social studies class, made national headlines after a parent expressed concerns about it on a Denver radio talk show. The Rocky Heights Middle School parent, who could not be reached for comment, reportedly objected to a dress code for female students. It required they cover their ankles and heads while in the mosque. Three students out of 155 did not attend the Jan. 13 field trip that included stops at a mosque, synagogue and Greek Orthodox church. School officials said they do not know why the trio opted out. Participation in field trips is optional. The study of world religions is included in the Colorado Academic Standards for seventhgrade social studies, and is a partial focus of the 10-year-old RHMS course. While participation in the annual visit to the three places of worship is not mandatory, “Students who choose to attend the RHMS world religion field trip are expected to respect the dress code of the host facility,” according to the Douglas County School District. All students were asked to wear long pants

that covered their ankles. During the mosque visit, girls were asked to cover their heads with scarves or hooded sweatshirts. A Douglas County School Board member who went along on the field trip described it as an educational experience. Judi Reynolds said she did not view any part of the visit as cause for alarm. Reynolds “I went because I was hearing so much about it, and I figured it would be an opportunity to find out what really happened on the trip,” Reynolds said. “It was very educational. “Nobody made them worship.” Representatives from the Colorado Muslim Society did not return calls requesting comment. School district spokeswoman Paula Hans said RMHS principal Mike Loitz was not available for an interview. Reynolds said none of the students objected to covering their heads or taking off their shoes before entering the worship area of the mosque. An imam talked about the history of Islam, and its culture. “Their culture values modesty and he pointed to his own dress as part of that,” said Reynolds, adding she found the explanation “perfectly valid.” “If I’m visiting someone else’s home or culture, and they’ve made a request of me, I just

to the prayer area so as not to soil the rugs or carpets. Shelves are usually provided to hold shoes. Women may be asked to cover their hair when visiting a mosque. Many mosques have scarves on hand for visitors to borrow, but it is better to bring a head covering in case none are available.

• Visitors to mosques should behave as

simply don’t have a problem; it’s a show of respect,” she said, noting the Vatican also requires a dress code. Visitors to Vatican museums, the Sistine Chapel and Saint Peter’s Basilica cannot wear sleeveless blouses, miniskirts, shorts, or hats. “It’s not saying I’m accepting what you’re telling me,” Reynolds said. “I’m accepting your request because I’m an invited guest in your home.” Speakers at all three stops offered similar talks about their religion’s history and culture. All of them also brought up the Jan. 7 mass shooting at the Charlie Hebdo magazine office in France. The satirical magazine published controversial cartoons depicting the Muslim prophet Muhammad. “At the mosque, the imam explained that in their religion, they don’t use images and it is considered an insult to try to portray Mu-

they would when visiting any religious institution, but they should feel free to ask questions about the mosque, its architecture, furnishings and activities. Muslims are happy to answer questions about their religion. For more information, visit cair.com/ action-alerts/445-welcome-to-ourmosque-brochure.html

hammed,” Reynolds said. “Then he said what happened in Paris is a very wrong response to that insult.” Reynolds said she and other school board members received several emails about the trip. Most of those that were critical were sent from people outside Douglas County. “It shows me that the school community is very supportive of this trip; they understand the reason,” she said. “Religion is such an integral part of world history. By having an understanding of those traditions, I think that helps to better understand not just history but maybe some of those current events.” An article on DCSD’s website about the mosque radio show discussion said it provides “authentic learning experiences to all students,” both in and out of the classroom. “We teach students how to think, not what to think,” it read.

Parker middle school students earn state honor Cimarron TSA members’ app design named best in Colorado By Jane Reuter jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Students from a Parker middle school led Colorado in the third Verizon Innovative App Challenge. The Cimarron Middle School’s TSA team’s app was named Best in State for the

“Destination Education” concept. Their proposal was selected from among more than 1,000 submissions in the Verizon App Challenge, and recognized for excellence in mobile app concept design. The Cimarron team’s app is intended to help students investigate and retain math and science concepts. It includes a mode for studying and another for quizzing. The study mode allows them to explore or research specific topics. In quiz mode, students can collaborate and test their knowledge

with students from around the world. The quiz mode “could almost be used like a video game, so kids could challenge each other to study for specific content,” teacher Katie Manzanares said. “It’s an extension of their learning that makes it more fun.” The annual Verizon Innovative App Challenge is designed to stimulate middle and high school students’ interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Teams of five to seven students work with faculty advisers to design original apps related to educa-

tion, health care or sustainability. They must consider marketplace need, usefulness, audience and viability, and submit their ideas with a three- to five-minute video and essays. The Cimarron TSA team recently learned it didn’t advance to Best in Region — a level to which only 12 middle schools nationwide rose. But Manzanares is proud of her students’ accomplishment. “These seventh-graders were independent,” she said. “They pulled this together themselves.”

Veterans back on track after detour Event marks first graduation from intensive court program By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Drop and do 20 push-ups. The five graduates from the Veterans Treatment Court agreed their program should end like it began. So veterans, police officers, prosecutors, public defenders, probation officers and others involved in the program dropped to the floor and counted the push-ups as they took part in the activity that culminated the Jan. 16 graduation ceremonies. Five military veterans whose lives had been on slippery slopes celebrated gaining solid footing and the opportunity for a bright future that completion of the program provided. “I am so grateful for this program because, today, I feel like my life is back where it should have been when I got out of the service,” graduate Kevin Slack said after the ceremonies. “I messed things up when I messed with drugs and alcohol. This program has reversed all the negatives, and my life is back where it should be.” He said jail time was painful, but it was the birth of a desire to get his life back on track. “I thank all the veterans and the court personnel who encouraged me to stick with the program and to complete treatment,” he said. “I feel I am ready to get to the next level where I am 100 percent accountable for myself.” The Veterans Treatment Court is one of several 18th Judicial District problem-solving courts. The goal is to ensure community safety while participants receive treatment and the help they need to return as active, contributing members of the community. Participants

Rodney Miller gets a hug from his sister as he and four other men became the first graduates from the 18th Judicial District’s Veterans Treatment Court. The program is designed to help veterans in the criminal justice system get their lives back on track. Photos by Tom Munds may reside anywhere in the district, which encompasses Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties. There are currently 21 veterans enrolled in the program. The number is expected to grow to 30 — the maximum the program can accommodate — in the next couple months. Veterans Treatment Court is a voluntary program, and each volunteer agrees to actively engage in treatment and counseling, make regular court appearances and undergo intense supervision. Each of the veterans was in jail at one point

prior to joining the program, and each was sentenced to probation. Most participants graduate in 18-24 months. Magistrate Bonnie McLean, who is on the bench for the program, said the court began in March 2013 when veterans’ services advocates, lawyers and others sought ways to help returning veterans who got in trouble with the law. A veteran who has run afoul of the law needs to apply to become part of the program. A panel of those involved with the treatment court reviews the application. The majority who are accepted agree to join the program. “The goal was to make sure to protect the community,” said McLean, a Parker resident. “However, at the same time, the program wants to help veterans deal with and hopefully solve the problems that led them into the criminal justice system.” The atmosphere in the Veterans Treatment Court is very different than in a traditional courtroom. During the Jan. 16 court session, McLean talked one-on-one with veterans in the program. They discussed accomplishments and shared humorous moments. When the judge congratulated the veteran, the standing-room-only crowd in the courtroom gave the veteran a standing ovation. Following the regular court session, it was time for the graduation ceremonies. George Brauchler, district attorney for the 18th Judicial District, told those attending the graduation that a lot of people worked to help the five veterans succeed and reach this point. He urged them to take advantage of the opportunity to succeed as they reach for lofty goals. Magistrate McLean brought each graduate to the podium individually. Each graduate, accompanied by family, talked about what the event meant to him. Graduate Dan Mitchell, who served two tours in Iraq, said the treatment court provided him a second chance after he had violated the law. “It’s a new start and I am moving forward,” he said. “I am scheduled to complete the requirements for my master’s degree in business so I can graduate in June from the University of Colorado. I plan to put my life back on track as I hope to find a job in the energy industry.” Fellow graduate Rodney Miller said the court program helped him discover why he didn’t fit in with society after he left the service.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE According to an 18th Judicial District news release, “Eligible military veterans with trauma spectrum disorders and/ or substance abuse issues may be moved to the Veterans Treatment Court based on decisions made by a team including personnel from the 18th Judicial District courts and Probation Department, prosecutors, public defenders, local law enforcement, treatment professionals and others.” “Everyone helped me find my balance,” he told the audience. “I once felt like a lost cause. But so many people encouraged and helped me, so now there is hope for success where there was only failure.” Miller was always an aspiring artist, and the program helped him step out and tackle the major task of painting a 40-foot-long mural on the wall at Civic Center Apartments. “Eight veteran artists plus 40 members of the community helped create the pattern for the mural,” he said. “When I stepped on the pattern, I felt the energy from the veterans who helped create the mural.” Miller, a Denver resident, is headed to the East Coast, where he will travel, helping aspiring artists and accepting public speaking engagements about veterans’ issues and his experiences in the program.

Dan Mitchell holds up the certificate he was presented Jan. 16 as he and four other men became the first graduates from the 18th Judicial District Veterans Treatment Court. The program is designed to help veterans who got in trouble with the law get a fresh start in life.

Telling the tales of

American heiresses ‘Downton Abbey’ event held at Highlands Ranch Mansion By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Carol Wallace has never strayed far from the 19th century, she said. And Wallace, of New York, brought her knowledge of the ladies of the time to the Highlands Ranch Mansion on Jan. 25 for the Dames of Downton event, put on by the Douglas County Libraries. “The ‘Downton Abbey’ factor is like magic,” Wallace said. “What’s not to love about an event that you get all dressed up for? You sort of get to play make-believe.” The three-hour event attracted about 200 fans, many in period clothing, of the awardwinning PBS television series “Downton Abbey” to hear Wallace present the stories of American heiresses featured in her book, “To Marry an English Lord: Tales of Wealth and Marriage, Sex and Snobbery.” Wallace’s nonfiction book recounts the tales of these ladies who decided to trade their fortune for title and estate. They traveled overseas to marry British dukes, earls, barons and knights. “The subject matter is fascinating,” said the libraries’ program and events supervisor, Kerri Morgan. And it ties in with the show, she added, because it demonstrates the “nature of the matriarch of the ‘Downton Abbey’ families.” These American girls went to England

Author Carol Wallace, left, signs a copy of her book, “To Marry an English Lord: Tales of Wealth and Marriage, Sex and Snobbery,” for Littleton resident, Maryalyce Allery.

Jewish Film Festival back for 19th year The Mizel Arts and Culture Center will host the 19th Annual Denver Jewish Film Festival at the Elaine Wolf Theatre at the Robert E. Loup Jewish Community Center, 350 S. Dahlia St. in Denver, from Feb. 4-15. “This year’s festival features a variety of films that any movie lover will enjoy,” said Steve Wilson, executive artistic director for the MACC. “Many of the films have won prestigious awards and critics’ praise, and 11 out of 28 are directed by women.” The 2015 Denver Jewish Film Festival, sponsored by Wagner Wealth Management, will kick off on Feb. 4 with a party celebrating this year’s festival honoree Kathy Neustadt and a screening of the Jewish family comedy “It Happened in Saint-Tropez.” The two-week festival will feature 28 films, many of which have been nominated for and won Ophir Awards, the Israeli equivalent of the Academy Awards. This will be the first time some of the featured films will be screened in Denver. Producer Nancy Spielberg will speak at the screening of her much-buzzed-about film “Above and Beyond” on Feb. 5. Sister of famous director Steven Spielberg, Nancy is a documentarian who produced this film about the creation of the Israeli Air Force.

Sports bars ready for big day

Author Carol Wallace tells the stories of a few American heiresses featured in her book, “To Marry an English Lord: Tales of Wealth and Marriage, Sex and Snobbery” at the Dames of Downton event, which drew a crowd of about 200 people. with a huge dowry, Wallace said, which, after marriage, would often be invested in the estate of an English aristocrat. Many came from new money, and they weren’t desired by the American aristocratic men, Wallace said. Perhaps their manners were not polished, she said, and they were not socially accepted. “American girls were chatty (and) very pretty,” Wallace said. “These girls, who were nobody in New York, were now dancing at court balls (in England).” “Downton Abbey,” exemplifies this with Cora Crawley, also known as the Countess of Grantham, Wallace said. Cora arrived in England as a young lady in the late 1880s. “She was pretty, from Ohio, and had lots of money,” she said. She met Robert Grantham, they marry, and he inherits her dowry, Wallace said. The trend began about 1874 with the buccaneers, the first wave of American girls to go, Wallace said. Then, in 1880, came the self-made girls who were extremely rich and well-dressed. One of their outfits could cost up to $20,000, Wallace said. In about the 1890s came the American aristocratic girls, she said. “These girls grew up thinking they’re the cream of the crop.” The trend ended around the beginning of WWI, Wallace said. “The first World War changed everything,” she said. “So many men died in the war. This

changed the whole social scene.” However, by 1914, Wallace said, at least 17 percent of English aristocrats had some lineage tie to the United States. Wallace’s book is co-authored by Gail MacColl, who spent six months in England doing research for the book. It was originally published in 1989, and “it had a nice life” by the time it went out of print, as all books do, Wallace said. At some point near the second season of “Downton Abbey,” Julian Fellowes, the creator of the show, gave an interview for an English newspaper, Wallace said. He mentioned the book served as an inspiration, so it went back into print, Wallace said. A press release on the book’s re-publication quotes Fellowes as saying the book is “‘a marvelous and entertaining study of the American girls who came over to England, mostly between 1890 and 1914, to marry into the British aristocracy.’” Having been originally built in 1891, with expansions and an eventual renovation to become an English manor by 1926, the Highlands Ranch Mansion is a “perfect location” to hold the event because it is from the time period, Morgan said. Wallace has given the lecture all over the country, she said. But it’s “always much more fun to do it in a grand, historic place,” Wallace said.

Exhibition looks at changes in Africa Numerous artists take part in CVA show By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “Spatial Stories: Topographies of Change in Africa” runs Feb. 6 to April 4 at the Center for Visual Arts, CVA, in the Santa Fe Arts District, and brings cultural visions of today’s African city artists — in photographic techniques. Artists come from Algeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa and Tunisia, each with a different and unique narrative of Africa as they experience it today. The title comes from the writings of French Jesuit scholar Michel de Certeau, according to CVA director Cecily Cullen. “In his 1980 book `The Practice of Everyday Life,’ he discusses the concepts of strategies and tactics. De Certeau asserts that corporations, governments, cartographers and those in power practice strategies when they create cities; abstract ideas that do not correspond to the practices of those who walk the cities. … Walkers appropriate the topographical system.” This notion is applied to Africa, “a continent which has been created by corporations, governments and colonized via maps; and the artists as narrators that subvert this abstract, totalizing

image of Africa.” The exhibit is curated by Leila Armstrong, Metropolitan State University visiting faculty in art history, theory and criticism; Cecily Cullen, CVA creative director; and Susanne Mitchell, visiting artist in residence at Greatmore Studios, Cape Town, South Africa. Participating artists include: • Ismail Bahri, Tunisia, with a video work, “Orientations,” about a wandering stroll in the city of Tunis. • Sammy Baloji, Lumbumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo. His photography explores ethnography, architecture and urbanism, through a lens of the Congolese past. • Dineo Seshee Bopape, Polokwane, South Africa. She has an MFA from Columbia and her video explores memory, time, space, narration, trauma, displacement and nonsense. • Bruno Hadjih, Algeria. His photographic series, “Terra Incognita,” reveals the Sahara Desert as a “living desert.” • Pieter Hugo, Johannesburg, South Africa. His photographic series, “Permanent Error,” look at the mass of discarded electronics in Ghana and its detrimental effects. • Mario Macilau, Maputo, Mozam-

bique. He traded his mother’s cell phone for his first camera and records the living and environmental conditions affecting isolated groups. • Santu Mofokeng, Johannesburg, South Africa. The award-winning artist photographs billboards in urban landscapes and the absurdities they highlight. • Mikhael Subotzky, Cape Town, South Africa. Presents the relationship between social storytelling and the formal contingencies of image making. • Mwangi Hutter (Ingrid Mawangi, Nairobi, Kenya; Robert Hutter, Ludwigshafen, Germany). The work, “Single Entities,” a three-channel video installation, features costumes influenced by places of business in Ouakam, Dakar. • Wangechi Mutu, Nairobi, Kenya. Her work presents her contemplation on race and gender and her experience in the Diaspora. • Guy Tillim, Johannesburg, South Africa. A freelance photographer, he considers the construct of our perception of space in a city landscape. Related events and collaborations at CVA: March 4, 5 p.m. — Abayomi Ola, Spelman College, will lecture. April 1, 5 p.m. — Artist duo Mwangi Hutter will lecture about cultural influences in their work. The Art Department will run an African art class concurrently with the exhibition.

Historic homes explored in book Centennial author takes readers on tour of state By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “In the years following the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush in 1859, a steady stream of gold-seekers and entrepreneurs traveled to the region, most heading straight to Denver City and then to the mountain mining camps …” wrote Linda Womack. Some made it big-time in mining or commerce and built huge homes to show off their prosperity. Colorado historian Womack, of Centennial, has just published “Historic Colorado Mansions and Castles,” her account of 10 splendid homes built by some of Colorado’s early millionaires, which would make a good addition to the family library about exploring Colorado — next to the ones about trails, birds, rocks, reptiles and maps. The homes she has chosen to profile are all open to visitors and she provides address and contact information for visits that will certainly enhance family and individual travel through Colorado, as we soak up stories of legendary folks and their ideas about high living. She has interviewed present managers and owners and researched the stories of the original owners and builders — some amazing characters. The homes are all on the Historic Register and lovingly maintained so we can learn of

moved back to Missouri and former employers with Emma. The house went to Patrick A. and Ellen Healy Kelly, who operated a boardinghouse with her brother and next owner Daniel Healy. The author also visited and wrote about the Byers-Evans House in Denver; Canon City’s Robison House; and the Molly Brown House, now a museum. Next in line is Castle Marne, the elegant Victorian B&B at Colfax and Race, where she learned a great amount of detail about several previous owners from the Peikers, who own and operate it now. Included is a beautiful round peacock window, created by Frank Watkins. His grandson, Phil Watkins of Watkins Stained Glass in Englewood, consulted and described the intricate window’s construction of Belgian glass. It, like many others, is covered in rhyolite stone, from a quarry in Castle Rock. Castle Isabel in Douglas County comes next. It’s now called the Highlands Ranch Mansion, and Womack does a nice job of describing the families, scandals and continual additions to the mansion, now beautifully restored and in almost daily use. Her final chapters address the Gable House in Durango; Rosemont in Pueblo; Miramount Castle in Manitou Springs; and the Cheesman-Evans-Boettcher Mansion in Denver, aka the Governor’s Mansion. At the end of each chapter, the author provides address, phone and a website address, so readers interested in history can visit and expand their understanding of the state’s checkered past. The book is a large paperback, loaded with historic photographs, costing $21.99.

Arts scene grows at feverish PACE Parker taps into thirst for education programs, national acts By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com More than three years after opening its doors, the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center is riding a growing wave of popularity and finding its niche in the regional arts community. A quick look at the figures tells the story: In 2009, when the Mainstreet Center was the only viable performing arts venue in Parker, revenue from ticket sales was a paltry $13,847. Because of the addition of the PACE Center — and the formation Performances held of several theater — production groups, Tickets sold that number is expected to be — Classes around $820,000 in held 2015, according to the town’s budget. — Weddings Ticket sales held went from 31,093 in 2013 to 42,292 last million — year, a 36 percent Amount of Town of increase despite Parker subsidy the addition of only four shows.

A portion of the growth is due to the scheduling of national touring acts like Clint Black and Rosanne Cash, but Mariner attributes much of the year-over-year increase between 2013 and 2014 to the hiring of education man-

The Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center opened in fall 2011. Photo by Chris Michlewicz ager Kirstin Fletcher last January. Education programming is “growing by leaps and bounds,” particularly since the creation of the student matinee program, Mariner said. It involves schoolteachers and incorporates lesson plans into productions like “Harry the Dirty Dog.” It brought approximately 2,600 students to the main stage theater in 2014. Detailed research and outreach via teacher surveys has further defined programming at PACE. It was Fletcher who was charged with taking a strategic look at classes and potential shows. “Parker has for a long time offered quality and popular arts education programming, but we weren’t being strategic about what the trends were,” Mariner said. “We were sort of offering the same things year in and year out.” The matinees have Mariner brought a youthful energy to the PACE Center. “By far my favorite part of my job is being inside the theater when there are 500 kids in there and they’re just ecstatic to be in the building and entranced by what they see,” Fletcher said. The types of PACE Center shows and

events are determined by a committee, and recent additions like free patio parties and classes that introduce children to theater performance skills like stage fighting, have grown in popularity. PACE leaders also plan to further develop the Discovery series, a $5-per-class program that invites families to learn about a range of subjects. In 2014, on separate nights, the arts facility hosted a bat expert, an instructor who taught the finer points of beekeeping, and the Butterfly Pavilion, which brought live insects. This year, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science is bringing a portable planetarium to the PACE Center and also exploring the world of model rocketry with local families. Because of the explosion of interest in robotics, and because Scientific and Cultural Facilities District funds require it, the PACE Center is introducing more science, technology and engineering classes. It is also hosting a competitive robot rally in May called the Parker Rover Rally. The attention to trends and interests across different demographics has resulted in a 20 percent increase in class enrollment, and the number of classes offered at the PACE Center jumped by 50 percent. Word is getting out about Parker’s “crown jewel for arts” because of good programming, effective marketing and a “community that

has discovered how truly great the PACE Center is,” said Diane Roth, chairwoman of the Parker Cultural and Scientific Commission, which acts as a citizen advisory board to the town’s cultural staff. The PACE Center is also on the radar for couples looking to tie the knot. The venue hosted 26 weddings last year, and that number is expected to rise. A new pergola, water feature and flowers now complement captivating mountain views. Between revenue from ticket sales, education registrations, rentals, concessions, grants, individual contributions and corporate sponsorships, total revenue was up 25 percent last year. Despite the rise in income, however, overall revenue covered roughly 62 percent of expenditures in 2014. But it’s far better than the industry average of 50 percent, Mariner says. The Town of Parker provided a $1 million subsidy for the PACE Center in 2014 and the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District kicked in $200,000. “No performing arts center is self-sufficient,” Mariner says. But the town’s investment has proved its worth, and the thriving arts scene is driving more people to the downtown area and providing a wider selection of entertainment and learning opportunities every day of the week.

argument on the flip side and say, ‘How many of the girls on the basketball team play volleyball?” said Rob Graham, head volleyball coach of Ponderosa’s Class 4A state runners-up and owner of the Elevation Volleyball Club. “Or, ‘How many girls on the soccer team play volleyball?’ “It’s club everything. It’s club soccer, club softball, club basketball. It’s not volleyball at all. It’s specialization.” Numbers compiled by the National Federation of High School Associations do not show a decline in participation in girls basketball in Colorado. From 2008-14, the number of girls playing the sport in high school has been fairly steady, averaging a little more than 7,000 per year. But in the south metro area, team rosters show little crossover among volleyball and girls basketball, which could mean schools are seeing some of their best athletes stick to one sport. Among 17 south metro area schools in Colorado Community Media’s coverage area, there were only seven girls listed on both the fall varsity volleyball roster and this winter’s varsity basketball rosters. Only four schools fielded four girls basketball teams (freshman, sophomore, junior varsity and varsity) and two struggled to put two teams on the floor. So local coaches, statewide figures or not, do believe fewer girls are giving hoops a shot. “Participation (in basketball) is for sure down, it’s down like crazy,” said Mountain Vista athletic director Pat McCabe. “I don’t think this is just related to basketball, but the establishment of clubs who make kids specialize and go out and put tremendous resources into playing at a super-young level or a superyoung age. … Our mission isn’t the

same as the clubs. We want kids to participate. We want to use all the resources that sports bring in order to help develop the kids.” Chaparral girls basketball coach Tony Speights reported that the Wolverines have three teams with 30 players. He doesn’t mince words when it comes to the club controversy. “The chief reason that participation is down is club sports, specifically volleyball,” he said. “These clubs monopolize all of these kids’ time, which doesn’t allow for other sports. I do readily admit that if you are an elite player then maybe (it is beneficial), but how many kids are elite? “Now, that being said, if you look at a lot of female athletes playing at the pro level, they played multiple sports in high school. I referenced volleyball, because I have lived in a couple of different states, and Colorado is the worst in terms of volleyball players not being able to play basketball.”

Special delivery

Some say specialization and club participation are required to rise in a sport’s ranks. Ray Tannenbaum is a coach and director for the Momentum Volleyball Club in Centennial. Year-round participation in a sport is necessary to become “elite” in today’s competitive environment, largely because of the demands of each sport, he believes. “I don’t think many of the players can truly handle more than one sport,” he said. “I hear the parents of the kids that play soccer, basketball, volleyball, by the time they hit the eighth grade or freshman year in high school, most of these families are saying pick one.” It costs an average of around $3,000 a year to play club volleyball, depending on the level and team involvement. So choosing the right club is important. “There are some clubs around here that won’t let girls go to prom because they have a tournament the next day,” Tannenbaum said. “All of a sudden, these sports are

taking away from them actually going out and being a kid. The one thing we do here at Momentum is we realize there has to be a balance. You have to have family life, an educational component, many want a spiritual component and the athletic component of it, and also just letting these kids be kids.” Paityn Hardison and Taynin Abbott are two players for the Momentum club. Both are strictly volleyball players and say they like it that way. “I found my sport,” said Hardison, a freshman who played on the Douglas County volleyball team. “I played basketball for half a season. It’s not my sport. I don’t like all the contact. Volleyball is more of a team sport and not an individual sport.” Abbott is a freshman player at Faith Christian Academy in Arvada. “When I was growing up, I played five different sports,” she said. “I started volleyball when I was in second grade and it was kind of my sport that I fell in love with. Basketball, softball, flag football, tennis and soccer were just not for me.”

Variety is the spice?

Ubben, the multi-sport Douglas County High student, wants to play volleyball in college. She admits that not specializing in volleyball could hamper her options. “It has hurt me already,” she said. “You get noticed so much more in club volleyball.” But there is research to suggest that specialization is not a better path to competing at an elite level. According to a Journal of Sports Sciences survey published in 2013, young athletes who competed in three sports at ages 11, 13 and 15 were significantly more likely to compete at an elite national level in their preferred sport than those who specialized in only one. Dr. John P. DiFiori, team physician for UCLA football and basketball and president of the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine from 2013-14, says specializa-

SPECIFIC CONCERNS Specializing in one sport can help develop young athletes’ skills to a high degree, but it can also have serious drawbacks.Two of the most common concerns cited by experts are overuse injuries and burnout. • A study presented in 2013 at the American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference and Exhibition showed athletes ages 8-18 who were “intensely specialized in a single sport were more likely to have an injury and a serious overuse injury.” The study — “Risks of Specialized

Training and Growth for Injury in Young Athletes: A Prospective Cohort Study” — involved more than 1,200 young athletes in the Chicago area.

• After years of intense focus on a sport, some athletes give up the game after feeling “burned out.” A position

tion is rarely the way to go. “With the exception of select sports such as gymnastics in which the elite competitors are very young, the best data we have would suggest that the odds of achieving elite levels with this method are exceedingly poor,” he said in a 2013 AMSSM news release. “In fact, some studies indicate that early specialization is less likely to result in success than participating in several sports as a youth, and then specializing at older ages.” While specialization can be demanding on a teenager, so can being a multi-sport athlete. Ponderosa sophomore Hunter Barker played JV volleyball, basketball, tennis and may go out for track this spring. She also plays volleyball for the Elevation Volleyball Club. She says there a lot of late nights staying up doing homework. But, she says, “Playing just one sport would just get old. It’s tiring and it’s good to take breaks.” For some athletes, though, focusing on one sport and embracing the club game is the preferred route to getting on the radar of colleges. Caitie Breaux is a junior volleyball player at Regis University in Denver. The Franktown athlete was a three-sport competitor in middle school before concentrat-

statement issued by the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine in 2014 says specialization at a young age may be a factor in burnout. The study listed some common symptoms, including fatigue, depression, insomnia, anxiety, weight loss and lack of concentration.

ing on volleyball at Ponderosa. She played for the Front Range Volleyball Club. “I definitely think club is a great (way) for high school athletes to be recognized by colleges,” she said. “I know people that have never played club volleyball or club sports in general who have still ended up on college teams, but I definitely think playing club sports gives you more exposure to college athletics.” Graham, the Ponderosa volleyball coach and club owner, is in favor of athletes playing different sports. His two young sons are playing three sports. However, he knows slowing down the trend to specialize is a tall task. “If you were to ask most coaches of any sport, we were probably multi-sport athletes growing up,” he said. “So we do know the importance of playing multiple sports. We would all say specialization is hurting. “Who is to blame? I don’t know if you can put your finger on that. I think it’s society, I think it’s parents and I think it’s players. We’re pushing kids to play sports at an earlier age. Parents are expecting them to get scholarships.”

“I chose UCCS for the combination of academics and student life. The Engineering program is one the best in the country and you can’t beat the location with views of Pikes Peak from every building. The University reaches out to every student by holding fun events for all different interests, so it’s easy to make friends. As soon as I stepped onto campus I was completely immersed in the community and felt right at home.” — Kaleen, Junior, Electrical Engineering

Foothills invited established artists Brian Dettmer, Monique Lallier, Adele Outtridge, Susan Porteous and Claire Van Vleit to exhibit. Next, 40 artists were selected through a highly competitive jurying process. Dettmer is a New York artist known for his book carvings and sculptures made from books and other forms of antiquated media. He is quoted on his website: “The medium’s role transforms. Its content is recontextualized and new meanings or interpretations emerge.” Monique Lallier is a world-renowned designer bookbinder and Susan Porteus creates sculptures with books.

Cart-Driver, in Denver’s RiNo neighborhood, completed its indoor/outdoor private dining space. Overlooking the interior courtyard of 25th and Larimer’s reclaimed shipping container complex, Cart-Driver can host seated or reception-style events of up to 25 people. In the summer, the room’s all-weather canvas windows can be removed, transforming it to a transitional indoor/outdoor venue. “Since opening, we’ve been busy — and fortunate — enough to be able to fill more seats than have always been available,” said partner Andrew Birkholz. “With the transition of the restaurant’s rear outdoor space to an indoor/outdoor private dining area, we’re able to provide more seats

to patrons year-round, as well as the flexibility and privacy of a private dining room.” Cart-Driver recently expanded hours and menus to offer lunch, as well as “Before & After” happy hour and late night menus, and has also implemented a direct-ship oyster program with Washington-based Hama Hama oysters.

Grizzlies cool under pressure Top-ranked ThunderRidge hits free throws down the stretch in road win over Highlands Ranch By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Jessica Zweifel’s dad wasn’t yelling at her, but the Highlands Ranch student section was loudly chanting in an attempt to distract the ThunderRidge senior. Zweifel, however, was unruffled with the Grizzlies nursing a two-point lead and 1:27 left in the Jan. 23 Continental League showdown against the Falcons. She swished four straight free throws. Madison Ward sank four more free throws in the final 17 seconds as ThunderRidge, the top-ranked team in the Class 5A CHSAANow.com poll, prevailed, 51-44, over home-standing and third-ranked Highlands Ranch. “I practice free throws all the time,” said the 5-foot-6 Zweifel. “Whenever I got to the rec center, my dad (John) stands right next to me and screams in my ear to prepare me for these situations.” ThunderRidge, which overcame what coach Paula Krueger labeled an `awful’ second period, improved to 3-0 in the league and 13-2 overall prior to a non-league game Jan. 27 against Grandview. Highlands Ranch slipped to 2-1 in the league and 12-4 overall. The Falcons played at Legend on Jan. 27. ThunderRidge turned the ball over seven times and missed three shots in the first 5:57 of the second quarter and fell behind, 21-12, before a Zweifel basket ended the drought. Highlands Ranch led 21-17 at intermission the game was tied at 28-all to start the fourth quarter. Zweifel, who had seven of her 13 points in the fourth quarter, nailed a 3-point basket to start the final stanza, and Brittany Birdsey and Alyssia Martinez also had 3-point baskets to spark a 23-16 flurry in the final eight minutes. ThunderRidge went 10-for-10 from the foul line in the fourth quarter and was 18 of 22 for the game. “We just came out and played,” said Zweifel. “We kind of remembered our second Broomfield game (47-45 win on Dec. 12) when we were down by a lot and we just kept pushing and pushing and never stressed out about it.” The team is sometimes calmer than the coaching staff, Krueger said. “It takes a lot of things but the one thing my kids have is a never die attitude,” she said. “We just do little things. They don’t panic. They’ve done a lot of things to win games. “They’ve been in difficult situations. We’ve played a tough schedule. Highlands Ranch is a great basketball team. We came into this environment, down at halftime and came out and won in the second half.”

Highlands Ranch Senior Logan Opheim forces the outside pass against ThunderRidge’s Madison Ward. The Falcons lost to the Grizzlies 51-44 on Jan. 23 at Highlands Ranch. And the Grizzlies did it against their Highlands Ranch rivals with leading scorer Taylor Rusk scoring only five points. Zweifel’s 13 points and 11 from Jaz’myne Snipes picked up the slack. “I know Taylor is a great shooter, but it’s great to have others shooters on the team that can commit to scoring,” said Zweifel. “We just don’t have to rely on her the whole time.” Krueger agreed. “What Taylor does for the team is that she keeps us together even if she’s not shooting well or her shots don’t go down,” explained Krueger. “She’s that calming factor. Having her on the floor does a lot for the kids’ confidence.

Taylor doesn’t have to do everything. “Jessica Zweifel was fantastic. She did some amazing things and she always does.” Highlands Ranch had more coaches on the bench than players. After a player transferred, the Falcons have eight varsity players and used only six in the game. Sophomore Symone Starks led the Falcons with 16 points and freshman Leliah Vigil had 13 markers as the pair combined for 65.9 percent of scoring for Highlands Ranch. “I understand last year was the first time ThunderRidge beat Highlands Ranch since 2005,” said Krueger. “To beat them two years in row, I can’t give enough credit to the kids.”

Falcons, Eagles meet in the pool Highland Ranch posts good times but loses to Heritage By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Savannah Liedy could be symbolic of the future for the Highlands Ranch girls swim team. The freshman is part of a group of youngsters who could be guiding the Eagles in the waters for years to come. “The future looks good for Highlands Ranch swimming,” coach Andy Farner said. “We have a strong freshman class this year, and some great freshmen who are planning to swim for us next year. That will further strengthen the team and the excellent performances of our juniors and sophomores here now.” Swimming is a family tradition, Liedy said. “I started swimming when I was six. I did summer club and then I did club. I’m done with club now that I am part of the high school team. I love the high school team. It is so much fun, we all get along and we are sort of a second family to each other.” The freshman said swimming is her only sport. “Doing other sports is so complicated. So much has to go into every sport with all the practice and activities. I just prefer to stick with swimming.” Liedy is part of the young Highlands Ranch squad, which, with a small roster, fought an uphill battle Jan. 22 in the dual meet against the talented Heritage team. The Eagles entered more athletes and took first place in every event as they outscored Highlands Ranch, 258-86. During the meet, Farner was pleased by the effort of his team. “The 35 athletes on our team have looked good this season. Our team includes a lot of young and upcoming swimmers who will provide a lot of depth for us in years to come,” the coach said. “We see steady improvement, and I feel we’ll be competing at our best by the end of the season.” The school site shows no more dual meets on the schedule as the team prepares for the league and state meets. The Eagles return to the water Jan. 30 in Aurora for the C and B league swimming and diving meets. Then, the Falcons are at Heritage High School on Feb. 6 for the Continental League A Meet, the last competition before state. The Class 5A state meet will be held Feb. 13 and 14 at the Edora Pool Ice Center in Fort Collins. The swimming preliminaries are scheduled Feb. 13 to trim the field in each event. The diving preliminaries are in the morning on Feb. 14 with the swimming and diving finals beginning at 12:30 p.m. This is the time of the year when swimmers and divers seek to turn in their best performances in order to qualify for the state meet. An athlete qualifies for state by meeting the state established standards for each swimming and diving event. Since

Savannah Liedy swims the butterfly leg of the 200-yard individual medley event for Highlands Ranch at the Jan. 22 dual meet with Heritage. The freshman said the event is her favorite because she can swim all strokes in the same race. Photo by Tom Munds the length of a lap in one pool is 25 yards and the lap is 25 meters in another pool, the state has standards in both yards and meters. Highlands Ranch is well balanced and the relays are strong because Farner can combine the efforts of his most talented swimmers, he said. “About a third of our girls are year-round swimmers,” the coach said. “We have girls who swim summer league, but we also have a few girls who are new to swim team competition.” The team has about 35 swimmers and divers on the roster. The benefit of a small team is the girls have a lot of chances to compete in swimming and diving. On Jan. 22, all swimmers and divers on the team competed in the dual meet against Heritage, he said. While Heritage took first in each of the events, the Falcons had girls post solid performances. Sophia Sharp took third in diving, and Dana Colomina was second in the 100 backstroke and fourth in the 50 freestyle. Teammates Elliot Charland was second in the 100 breaststroke

and Grace Mortimer was second in the 200 individual medley. Liedy took third in the 100 butterfly. Here favorite event, though, is the 200 individual medley. “I like the 200 IM because you swim all the strokes,” she said. “It is more fun than just swimming one event.” Liedy’s individual goal for the season is to qualify to go to the state meet. “I haven’t qualified for state yet,” she said. “I am sort of close. I’m getting there. I want to go to state in the 200IM. I have to improve my time by 10 seconds. That’s a lot of time to cut, but I feel I can do it.” Qualifying for state as a freshman is a personal achievement plus it is a good example for incoming freshmen classes, she said. “If I can get to state, it’ll show incoming freshmen they can qualify for state, that you don’t have to be an upper classman to qualify for state,” she said. “Also, the fact I am swimming varsity this year shows incoming freshmen if they work hard you can swim for the varsity as a ninth-grader.”

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF JAN. 26, 2015

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Mixed signals could create problems. Make sure your views are presented clearly, and insist others do the same. Don’t let an unanswered question go by without a full explanation. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Financial pressures ease, allowing for more budget flexibility. But as the money-wise Bovine will appreciate, thrift still beats out splurging. Expect news from someone special. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Getting things done is what you do so well. But be careful not to overtax your energy reserves. Take time out to relax or to do something different to help keep them at optimum levels.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) This is a good time to satisfy the Moon Child’s growing sense of wanderlust. Choose a really special place to go to, with a very special person to share it all with you. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) You love being in the spotlight. But be careful it doesn’t blind you to the truth behind a seemingly wonderful opportunity. Look closer and you might be sadly surprised at what you find. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Isn’t it time to take a break from your hectic schedule? Sure it is. And the sooner you do, the sooner you can return fresh and more than ready to take on all those new projects. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A recent family incident can help bring everyone closer, and there’s no one who’s better at making that happen than you. Accept (indeed, insist on!) help from others to get things off and running. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Long-held habits are often difficult to break. But the change from how you always did things to how you can do them now can be liberating. So, be flexible and give it a try. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Someone you met in your professional world last year and thought you would never hear from again could make a sudden reappearance in your life, along with an interesting job offer. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Once again, you delight everyone by coming up with a solution for a problem that actually works. On another note, it’s not too early to get started on those travel plans. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Before you go ahead with finalizing your plans for your new project, check them over to see if you can make some improvements or if you can find ways to cut costs. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) The Fabulous Fish might have been out of the social swim for too long, and it’s time you plunge back in. Reinforce your old friendships and be open to starting new ones.
