Call-n-Ride on chopping block Service struggling with low ridership, but not during peak hours By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com The proposed elimination of RTD’s Calln-Ride service in Highlands Ranch could leave hundreds of residents stranded. The 30 people who attended a meeting at Eastridge Recreation Center Oct. 2 to voice their opposition to the service cut included a wide-ranging representation of those who most need the front-door pick-up transportation: a blind senior; the mother of a woman with special needs; parents of schoolchildren who rely on Calln-Ride to safely get around. The Regional Transportation District is considering discontinuing Call-n-Ride in Highlands Ranch, Parker and Federal Heights in January, and is required to host public meetings to gather feedback before a decision is made. The district’s board of directors is scheduled to consider the proposals Oct. 28. Kent Bagley, who represents RTD’s District H on the board, attended the Oct. 2 meeting to provide an explanation of the proposal. He said ridership has “never been robust” in the eight years since Calln-Ride started in Highlands Ranch, but residents challenged that statement, saying they often can’t be squeezed in during peak travel times. Although the service is popular for commuting, it is failing to meet the threshold of at least three riders per hour, Bagley said; the bus in Highlands Ranch is averaging two riders per hour. RTD has made a concerted effort to promote the service to no avail. “We don’t want to take it away,” he said, “but you can’t do the same thing and expect a different result.” But regular riders — and even a woman who attended the meeting as part of her son’s Boy Scout certification — said they have never seen marketing for Call-n-Ride. Bagley suggested that stakeholders should take “more ownership,” and when pressed for further explanation, Bagley defined “ownership” as active participation and “pocketbook” contributions. RTD’s cost to operate Call-n-Ride in Highlands Ranch is around $180,000. Highlands Ranch resident Nick Arky,

The Douglas County School District and the Colorado Department of Education have a legal “difference of opinion” over the district’s ability to use state legislation to opt out of a K-3 reading assessment. A department of education official said the district can’t use the Innovation School Act to waive its participation in a state test. The DCSD board adopted a resolution Sept. 2 to submit an innovation waiver to the Colorado Board of Education, noting specific concerns with a time-consuming series of state-mandated reading ability tests in the Reading to Ensure Academic Development Act. The resolution said several elementary schools instead will meet the goals of the READ Act “using locally developed and locally approved programs.” The board’s resolution authorized Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen to assist interested elementary schools in filing a waiver Waiver continues on Page 9

Residents rebound after hail hits hard Sept. 29 storm was rough on parts of Highlands Ranch By Christy Steadman Kent Bagley, the RTD representative for District H, talks about the issues facing Call-n-Ride service in Highlands Ranch during a meeting Oct. 2 at Eastridge Recreation Center. More than 30 people protested the proposed elimination of the service. Photo by Chris Michlewicz who had a heated exchange with Bagley, said riders are most upset because the Oct. 2 meeting “should have happened long ago” to determine potential fixes. He said people have taken exception to the threat to cut service before there was any attempt to put together a cohesive plan. “It seems like a foregone conclusion and we don’t think that’s fair,” Arky said. Bagley countered by saying that the proposal could be pulled entirely before the Oct. 28 meeting if stakeholders are willing to fight. He has recently met with representatives from the Highlands Ranch Community Association, Douglas County School District and Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce to explore partnerships, and suggested establishing a coordinating committee to form a sound plan of action. Peggy Cushing, who lives in a seniororiented community near University and Quebec Street, said taking away Calln-Ride would be “tragic” for her elderly neighbors. “It would fundamentally change their way of life,” she said. A woman whose daughter with special

needs has ridden Call-n-Ride for eight years to go to her job with the school district said her daughter would have no other options for travel. That sentiment was echoed by Erica Erhardt, whose son attends a charter school that doesn’t provide transportation for students. And Ted Ruskin, a blind senior from Highlands Ranch, said Call-nRide serves all of his needs. “This bus is permitting me to stay in my home,” he said. “I need this service.”

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com The golf ball-sized hail came down hard and fast on Sept. 29, making casualties of trees, windows, vehicles and anything else in the storm’s path. In Highlands Ranch, the south-central area is one that the storm hit hard, Jeff Case, director of public works, said during a presentation at the Highlands Ranch Metro District board meeting on Sept. 30. “It came out of nowhere,” Highlands Ranch resident Lori Hickerson said. “The big hail lasted only a few minutes, but it did a lot of damage.” Hickerson’s husband, Dave, assessed the damage the next day. He said there were leaves everywhere and people in the neighborhood were cleaning up piles of hail the next morning. The Hickersons live in the Firelight subdivision of Highlands Ranch, which is just south of Wildcat Reserve Parkway and about a quarter-mile west of Fairview Parkway. Most of the west-facing homes in this neighborhood sustained some sort of property damage from the storm, Dave Hickerson said. “It sounded like rocks hitting the Weather continues on Page 12

Man hits road of life with hands off wheel The call for prayer from the nearby mosque woke him from a restless sleep about 4 that morning. He showered, dressed and checked his backpack. Water containers. Iodine tablets. Medical kit. Several notebooks and 24 pencils. Some Clif bars. One change of clothes. A credit card to be used only for emergencies. A palm-sized GPS tracker. Tent. Sleeping bag. Compass. No cell phone. He repacked, shut off the lights and knelt on the concrete floor. Let me be present, he prayed. Let me handle challenges with grace and humility. Then, Donovan DiLorenzo — an olive scarf wound around his head, a shadow of a beard on his face, Teva sandals on his feet — stepped from the hotel in Madaba, Jordan, his heart a mix of trepidation and hope, and began walking. “The first time you step out — that’s the scariest,” he said. “You’ve built up all these expectations … and you’re just not sure how they’re going to unfold.” Donovan’s Journey, as his family calls it, began Aug. 27, 2013. It unfolded step by step, without any sure plan. Donovan, then 42, trekked as pilgrims in days of old through Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Egypt and India, letting the day’s encounters chart his path and depending on unexpected kindnesses for food, shelter and companionship. By the time he returned home in May, he had walked more than 1,100 miles. Back home in Highlands Ranch where he grew up, his parents had anxiously followed his path through intermittent signals from a GPS tracker. They thought he was searching for self-discovery. His younger sister later told him she thought his choice to travel without resources or a way to communicate with home was selfish because of the worry it caused those who loved him. Donovan thought doing so was the only real way to live fully in the moment — to see and feel and understand a profoundness of life uncluttered by distractions. He wasn’t really searching for something; he just wanted to see what would happen if life directed him rather than the other way around.

“It was a kind of shedding or surrendering …,” Donovan said. “It was just about letting go and seeing how life would unfold being a little more present.” His life had already detoured from the main road. The tragedy of 9/11 caused him to rethink his course: He left a lucrative job as an account executive in New York to teach in New Orleans’ most challenging urban school district. He later helped with reconstruction and outreach following Hurricane Katrina’s devastation. From there, he joined the Peace Corps, working in Africa in Malawi, one of the world’s least-developed countries. He returned to New Orleans and taught there until last summer, when he decided to abandon life as he knew it. He chose to walk most of his journey to have “more time to think, write and connect with others.” When Donovan refused to take a cell phone, his parents, Neil and Michelle, persuaded him to pack a small GPS tracker. “You’re not really communicating,” Neil told him. “At least, as long as the coordinates are moving, we’ll know you’re alive.” Donovan agreed. Every three days, he activated the device and Neil plotted latitude and longitude on maps to follow his route. Even so, Neil and Michelle slept only a few hours each night those first few weeks. “I am very nervous …,” Michelle said then. “That has been really, really hard, not knowing where he’s at.” Donovan, at times, wasn’t sure exactly where he was, either. The trails seemed confusing, the heat unbearable. In those moments, anxiety would begin to seep into his thoughts — “that feeling,” he wrote later, “when you are unsure about the road

ahead.” But then he would gather courage, bring himself back into the moment, summon a sense of peace. At the start, his feet bled. The backpack rubbed raw a spot on his back. Hunger became a frequent companion — he thought often of his mother’s pasta and meatballs. But fortune continually crossed his path in the form of curious children, interested villagers or, simply, a patch of shade under a tree. Strangers gave him freshly baked warm pita bread. They invited him to share tea around campfires and offered space in their homes to sleep. They shared stories that bound them across cultures and beliefs. “I was really taken aback at how hospitable people were and how people would open up their homes,” Donovan said. “There were those moments when you kind of step back and think, `Wow, that was truly amazing.’” In those instants, he said, God gave him wonder. He prayed in mosques, saw the Dead Sea, visited Cana and other places of the Holy Land, navigated military checkpoints between Palestine and Israel. He walked about 650 miles, according to Neil’s map calculations, before flying from the Red Sea to Cairo at the end of October. After two weeks in Egypt, he flew to Mumbai and walked another 500 or so miles, visiting ashrams where he learned to meditate, and Buddhist temples where he prayed, and, finally, homes in Calcutta run by Mother Teresa’s Sisters of Charity, where he volunteered for two months. He massaged lotion into the withered arms of old men, bathed sick patients, prayed over the dead then carried them to crematoriums. “In Calcutta, there are moments when you have incredible suffering,” Donovan said, “but somehow people find a way to be joyous.” There was the blind man who always sang. There were the children who laughed and played amid the squalor. And the special kinship shared with others who helped. “… a lot of suffering,” Donovan repeated. “But a lot of people giving of them-

selves.” From India, he traveled to Indonesia for a month. And then, life told Donovan it was time to return home to the much-missed embrace of family and friends. Near midnight on May 12, Neil and Michelle drove slowly into the arrival lane at DIA as a tall figure with a bushy beard and a backpack walked to the curb. “He had a scarf on,” Michelle said. But “I would know him anywhere.” At home, Donovan ate a big plate of pasta and meatballs, satiating the craving that hunger had instilled. He reveled in the warmth of family. “He’s very strong,” Michelle said, “but I’m just glad he’s home.” Neil agreed. “We don’t have to worry.” They listened to their son’s stories, marveling at the generosity of strangers who gave to the man who is always giving to others. Yet, Neil said, “his experience is probably hard to share because we can’t understand it — we didn’t live it.” Donovan is in California now, helping develop programs for the mostly Hispanic and disadvantaged teens served by the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sonoma. Life kept telling him, he said, this was his next chapter. He’s written 10 short stories about his pilgrimage and has ideas for about 10 more. He’s writing them, primarily, for family and friends so they can know how letting go propels life to unfold in wondrous, unexpected ways. He would like to return to the Denver area someday. But “you never know,” Donovan said. “The main thing is I’m present and have the courage to follow where life is taking me. We’ll see.” Perhaps, for Donovan, the journey hasn’t ended at all.

ELECTION 2014: THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR

Hickenlooper proud of record Beauprez: State needs leader Governor says unusual approach isn’t indecision

Challenger doubles down on tough approach

By Vic Vela

John Hickenlooper doesn’t worry about whether people “get” him. His “aw, shucks,” nerd-like personality and his imperfect — and sometimes meandering — way of speaking are a far cry from anything that resembles a polished, focusgroup-driven politician. Through three elections, the quirky Hickenlooper brand has resonated with voters, as evidenced by a landslide win for governor in 2010, and before that, two decisive victories in Denver mayoral races. But it is that same style that has left him wide open for political attacks. He has become fodder for Republican press releases that blast the governor as being a wishywashy failed leader who struggles while deciding over a breakfast menu, much less over areas of public policy. “Obviously, I’m a different kind of politician, but that’s what most people said they wanted,” said Hickenlooper during a recent one-on-one interview with Colorado Community Media from inside his re-election campaign office in Denver’s Lower Highland neighborhood. “They said they’re sick of the same old talking head who gets up in there in a robotic fashion and says the same platitudes that we’ve heard for a million years. That’s one of the reasons why people like me run for office. I think people deserve more.” Hickenlooper has heard the criticism before. But as he enters the final stretch of a tight re-election campaign against former Congressman Bob Beauprez, he prefers to talk about his economic record as governor. There is no question that the economy has gained steam and jobs have been created under his watch. And he largely received praised for his response to crises that made national headlines, such as the Aurora theater shooting, wildfires and last year’s statewide flooding. But Hickenlooper’s own words haven’t

It seems appropriate that a guy who likes to play in the dirt is involved in politics — a business where a lot of mud gets slung. Yes, Bob Beauprez is a former congressman and the Republican nominee for governor, but he is also a bison rancher and an avid gardener who likes getting his hands dirty. “I am obsessive about the condition of our yard and garden and all that,” Beauprez said during a recent one-on-one interview with Colorado Community Media. “I love playing in the dirt. I love plants and fussing with them and the beauty of them.” When Beauprez isn’t tending to his plants, he is on the campaign trail trying to plant the seed in the minds of voters that Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper is a failed leader who should be voted out of office. “He has this obsession with collaborating; wants to talk everything through, forever,” Beauprez said of Hickenlooper. “He can’t make a decision and he won’t make a decision.” While Beauprez hammers away at Hickenlooper on a number of issues — gun control, the death penalty and hydraulic fracturing, just to name a few — he is also out to prove the late F. Scott Fitzgerald wrong, that there are indeed second acts in American lives. Beauprez lost badly to Bill Ritter in a 2006 gubernatorial bid where he never recovered from the “Both Ways Bob” label that was pinned on him by a fellow Republican in the primary field. It would be a quite a comeback story if Beauprez unseats Hickenlooper, especially in a state that has been trending Democratic in recent elections and where voters rarely have an appetite to vote out an incumbent governor. Hickenlooper is also backed by an economy that has grown

done him any favors this campaign. Sometimes when the governor speaks, the result is reminiscent of the Grateful Dead during an off night — the trademark style is there, but it will sometimes run off the rails, leaving those listening scratching their heads. His decision last year to grant a reprieve to death-row inmate Nathan Dunlap — who killed four people inside an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993 — was met with confusion and criticism. And in television interviews this year, the governor said that he has moved away from being a supporter of the death penalty (he told voters in 2010 that he was in favor of capital punishment). And he suggested during a CNN interview Hickenlooper continues on Page 9

stronger and created jobs on his watch. But Beauprez believes voters now have the appetite to oust a governor who won his seat in a landslide in 2010 and whose quirky personality has both endeared him to supporters and irked his detractors. Beauprez spent the entire summer blasting Hickenlooper for “failing to lead” on the issue of the death penalty, having been highly critical of the governor’s decision to grant a reprieve to death-row inmate Nathan Dunlap, who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993. Beauprez said Hickenlooper should have either chosen to go forward with the execution or grant clemency, rather than Beauprez continues on Page 9

Top district communications employee leaves position Watson also served as foundation interim director By Jane Reuter jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cinamon Watson, the Douglas County School District’s lead communications employee, has left the district “to pursue new opportunities,” according to DCSD. Watson’s last day was Sept. 26. Watson was DCSD’s community relations officer. Her salary, as of July 2014, was just under $129,000 — the highest among the communications’ department’s employees. She also was interim Watson executive director of the Douglas County Educational Foundation from late 2012 to 2014. Watson could not be reached for comment. DCSD did not say if it will hire a new communications department employee. “We thank her for her service and wish her well in her future endeavors,” reads an emailed statement from DCSD spokeswoman Paula Hans. “The community relations team is evaluating needs and will move forward in a way that best

supports our students, staff, parents and community members.” Before coming to DCSD in 2012, Watson was a principal at Republican campaign consulting firm Phase Line Strategies, deputy campaign manager for the successful re-election effort of former Colorado Governor Bill Owens, communications director for the Colorado Republican Party and Majority Communications Director for the Colorado State Senate. She started her career as the American Legislative Exchange Council’s (ALEC) legislative director for education and empowerment policy. ALEC’s model legislation created by state legislators and the private sector includes an Innovation Schools and School Districts Act, as well as a Parental Choice Scholarship Program Act. The district board recently authorized submission of an innovation waiver for a state-required test under the Innovation Schools Act, and DCSD’s voucher program is more formally known as the choice scholarship program. Watson is married to former Republican House majority leader Chris Paulson, a lawyer who served in the state legislature with Owens. Jason Christensen is now executive director of the Douglas County Educational Foundation.

Nightly lane closures scheduled for I-25 Scheduled for mid-October, nightly lane closures on I-25 from Lincoln Avenue to County Line Road will occur to complete the northbound traffic shift as part of the widening project of this corridor. The $32 million project will add an additional lane in each direction, providing four lanes in each direction. In addition to improving traffic flow of the corridor, the project will also improve traffic patterns from the C-470 southbound off-ramp and the northbound Lincoln on-ramp merges. The project is expected to be complete by June 2016. Updated information regarding traffic impacts on this project is available by calling the project hotline (303) 3587643 or visiting www.coloradodot.info/ projects/i25lanebalance.

Capitol dome reopens after long renovation Three-year project restores iconic structure By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Five words that do not normally go together when talking about a government-backed project are: On time and under budget. But that feat was what state officials were hailing on Oct. 2 as part of a ceremony to mark the reopening of the Capitol dome. A three-year, $17 million restoration project was needed to fix and renovate a 120-yearold dome that has seen weather-caused deterioration over the years. Gov. John Hickenlooper said the project’s success is “a symbol of the resilience of this state.” “This is a gift we’re giving for generations in the future,” he said. Colorado’s harsh freeze and thaw cycles made the repairs necessary. In 2006, corrosion to the dome caused a 10-pound piece of iron to fall, which led to the closing of the observation deck and the installation of a netting system. Repairs commenced after lawmakers created a package of bipartisan bills four years ago to fund the restoration.

RIGHT: Rick and Erma Kircheis of Belmont, Mich. look out on the city of Denver from the newly re-opened Capitol observation deck on Oct. 2. ABOVE: The dome took three years to be restored. Photos by Vic Vela During much of the project, the dome was cloaked in scrim and scaffolding. It wasn’t until early this year that part of the dome was revealed from under the draping. Workers replaced the deteriorating metal fasteners with stainless steel. The original copper panels were replaced and the lightning protection system was enhanced, according to state architect Larry Friedberg. The dome was re-gilded with 65 ounces of gold that came from parts of Colorado that in-

cluded Cripple Creek and was later prepared in Florence, Italy. “Today, the sun shines bright on this beautiful October day,” said state Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch. The dome observation deck — which offers spectacular views of Denver — was reopened to the public shortly after the ceremony. For visitors like Josiah and Hannah Goering of Chicago, the timing couldn’t have been more impeccable.

The two were visiting Colorado and specifically had a trip to the Capitol on their to-do list because Hannah’s grandparents had taken a picture of themselves on the Capitol steps during their honeymoon some 67 years ago. “We came here to recreate the photo,” she said. “We even brought black and white film.” Had their trip occurred a week earlier, they wouldn’t have been able to view Denver’s skyline from atop the Capitol. “It’s a happy coincidence,” she said.

Colorado counties ordered to issue same-sex marriage licenses State’s attorney general follows lead of Supreme Court By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com All 64 county clerks in Colorado must begin issuing same-sex marriage licenses after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear all appeals on gay-marriage bans Oct. 6, Colorado Attorney General John Suthers said. Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Jack Arrowsmith said the county will follow the ruling, and according to county spokeswoman Wendy Holmes same-sex marriage licenses would begin being issued in the county on Oct. 7. “Our position in Douglas County is that we are committed to following the law in all mat-

ters governing the operation of the clerk and recorder’s office,” Arrowsmith said. The ruling effectively paves the way for marriage equality for all people in Colorado. “We have consistently maintained that we will abide by the Supreme Court’s determination on the constitutionality of marriage laws. By choosing not to take up the matter, the court has left the 10th Circuit ruling in place,” Suthers said in a statement. “We expect the 10th Circuit will issue a final order governing Colorado very shortly. Once the formalities are resolved, clerks across the state must begin issuing marriage licenses to all samesex couples. We will file motions to expedite the lifting of the stays in the federal and state courts and will advise the clerks when to issue licenses.” Federal and state judges in Colorado have previously struck down the state’s ban on same-sex marriage but they also implemented stays in those cases pending U.S. Supreme

Court action. Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) applauded the ruling. “We are a stronger, better state when all couples are able to publically affirm their shared commitment and responsibilities to one another through marriage,” Udall said in a statement. “The U.S. Supreme Court’s move to let the Denver-based 10th Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision in favor of marriage equality stand is a win for all Coloradans. “We should celebrate what this will mean for so many of our friends, family members and neighbors. And while this is an important milestone for our state and for other states around the country impacted today, we still have work to do to ensure equality for Americans nationwide.” Andrew Romanoff, a Democratic candidate for the U.S. House (6th Congressional District), released a statement following the Supreme Court’s decision.

“Today’s news represents a major victory for every American who values freedom and fairness. I’m glad that Colorado will now be able to join a majority of the union in extending a fundamental right to all of our citizens.” U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Denver, who serves the 1st Congressional District, spoke out in favor of the ruling as well. “Today marks another important step toward full equality: the Supreme Court declined to take up appeals from gay marriage opponents in five different states,” she said in a statement. “This means that those five states — and others including Colorado — should soon overturn marriage bans. The Colorado Supreme Court should promptly accept this decision and let all loving couples choose to marry freely. And the day is soon coming that everyone in the nation will enjoy this basic right.”

State transportation leaders look ahead Creative financing, expanded transit needed to ensure economic future By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com

The state’s transportation leaders envision passenger rail systems statewide, an overall infrastructure that will change and improve with technology and more private investment used to fund vital future projects. Three of them spoke about the metro area’s transportation system during an Oct. 2 Denver South Economic Development Partnership breakfast at the Lone Tree Arts Center. They praised south metro Denver leaders for partnering in financing the recently begun I-25 lanebalancing project, future C-470 expansion and the southeast light rail extension. “This is the way transportation needs to work in Colorado and it doesn’t work that way everywhere,” said Colorado Department of Transportation executive director Don Hunt. As fuel-efficient cars and chang-

ing driving habits decrease gas tax revenues, the men said similar collaborations are the key to future improvements. Without them, Colorado’s economic future could dim. Hunt said Denver’s major thoroughfares likely will undergo one more reconstruction, but no more. “After that, we’d better look to technology for the solution,” he said. “We’re not going to be able to widen them (anymore). You could make the case after we finish the lane-balancing project, we have what we will have for the future. We need to learn to manage them better.” Technology will play a major role in doing so, Hunt said, enabling highway engineers to adjust ramp meters and toll lanes almost instantly based on shifting demand. “The long-term really has to do with better technology in vehicles and the entire smart highway system,” Hunt said. “We’re not that far away from more automated vehicles that will travel more smoothly on the highway system and increase capacity.” The continued expansion of mass transit also is key to easing pressure on highways. “We want to find a way to accommodate growth for high-speed

ctory m and w be tendens.” who poke

rail all over the state,” RTD general manager Phil Washington said. “I see high-speed rail coming.” While some large portions of the planned FasTracks light- and commuter-rail line remain unfunded, 2016 will see the opening of several long-awaited projects. Among them: The 10-mile I-225 Line, the 6.5-mile Northwest Rail Line from Union Station to Westminster, and the 23-mile East Commuter Rail Line from Union Station to Denver International Airport. “In 2016, with all these openings, we are going to have tremendous momentum in this state to do bigger and better things,” Washington said. Groundbreaking on the $207-million southeast light rail extension, which will add three stops and 2.3 miles of track between Lone Tree’s Lincoln Station and the RidgeGate Parkway/I-25 interchange, is expected in 12 to 15 months. Lone Tree, Douglas County, RidgeGate and the Denver South Transportation Management Authority are contributing a total of nearly $40 million toward the line’s construction. Creative partnerships like those and other financing avenues have earned the state a reputation for

Colorado Department of Transportation executive director Don Hunt, left, and RTD general manager Phil Washington respond to questions during an Oct. 2 South Metro EDC transit presentation at the Lone Tree Arts Center. Photo by Jane Reuter being visionary and progressive, Washington said. He intends to build on that. “Everything that we talked about leading up to the FasTracks election is happening now,” he said, referring to the voter-approved .4-percent FasTracks tax passed in 2004. “We talked about creating 10,000 jobs at the height of construction; we’re at 10,300. We talked about injecting $2.7 billion into the local economy; we’re at $3.3 billion. We talked about

transit-oriented communities popping up around our stations; there are two to three stories every week about some development happening around transit. Everything we thought would occur … is happening. And we’re going to see more of it.” Despite the success of FasTracks, Hunt said 85 percent of all trips still are made by road. “It’s hard to move that number,” he said.

Cherry Creek Regional Trail links up to park

Bayou Gulch facility stepgains new connection

t deriageBy Mike DiFerdinando aid inmdiferdinando tates@coloradocommunitymedia.com hould orado A new trail will connect Bayou Gulch Ret thisgional Park to the Cherry Creek Regional Trail. se to Douglas County Open Space director Cheryl Matthews said the new connector trail will g that go from Bayou Gulch Regional Park, located basic at 4815 Fox Sparrow Road south of Parker, through Bayou Gulch Open Space on the south side of Bayou Gulch Road, under Highway 83 west to the Cherry Creek Regional Trail. Bayou Gulch Regional Park hosts a rec-

reation area, an off-leash dog park, a newly constructed mountain-bike skills course, 1.48 miles of concrete trail and 4.68 miles of softsurface multi-use trail. “We know from talking with some of the people living around the open space that they really wanted to be able to connect to Cherry Creek,” Matthews said. The connector trail extends from the west side of the park where it crosses Bayou Gulch Road at a self-activated stoplight. A soft-surface trail encircles the 276-acre open space and is open to pedestrians and equestrians only. The connector trail running west from where it crosses Bayou Gulch Road to the Cherry Creek Regional trail is open to pedestrians, bicyclists and equestrians.

The peripheral trail and the connector trail provide four miles of public access for users. According to Matthews, the peripheral trail may be closed from time to time during the summer months to accommodate equestrian events at the Colorado Horse Park; the connector trail will remain open at all times. The horse jumps and the trails leading to the jumps are the private property of the Colorado Horse Park and are not open to the public. “I’m not sure too many people know about it yet, but the trail is open to the public,” Matthews said. “No one will get mad if they see you riding on it. It’s ready to be enjoyed.”

The mountain-bike skills course is almost finished and should be officially open to the public in the next couple of weeks. Douglas County has protected 49,272 acres of open space through both purchase and conservation easements. There are 10 trailheads accessing nearly 77 miles of soft-surface trails that are available to the public for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. In addition, the county manages 13 active parks, the Cherry Creek Regional Trail, the East-West Regional Trail, and the High Line Canal Trail from Titan Road and Highway 85 to Waterton Road.

County eases document process Email, phone requests can be made in or out of state By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County has become the first county in the state to offer electronically certified documents to its residents. “Douglas County was the first county in Colorado to receive an electronic document and now we’re the first to offer certified documents electronically,” Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Jack Arrowsmith said. “We want to be able to offer our residents and businesses the technological advantages that they need to run their lives and businesses.” Douglas County had its first official receipt of an electronic document on Sept.17, 2003. In the past, the only way for businesses and individuals to obtain certified copies of documents was travel to a county recording division office or request the paperwork be sent by the U.S. Postal Service — a time-consum-

ing proposition. Now, Douglas County is set up so that important and official documents are only a click away and can be requested and received by email. Requests can also be made over the phone. Documents can also be requested and received from out of state. According to county recording manager Nancy Sotomayor, upon request, documents will be selected from the county’s database and then be certified by marking with an official image of the certification stamp in Adobe Writer. The official copies will then be saved and either printed out or emailed to the recipient. “When you’re talking about certified documents, you’re talking about things that people usually need to get very quickly,” Arrowsmith said. “So, by being able to get those documents the same day in most cases, that saves time and energy on both ends.” Documents cost 25 cents per page and $1 for certification. Requests can be made in person, on the phone or online at douglas.co.us/recording.

Welfare check leads to arrest after shot fired No injuries reported from Oct. 2 residential incident Staff report The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office made an arrest Oct. 2 after a shot was reportedly fired during an overnight incident at a residence in the 8300 block of Pebble Creek Way in Highlands Ranch. The sheriff’s office received a call at 3:40 a.m. in reference to a welfare check stemming from a disturbance in which a

female was locked out of the residence, said Sgt. Ron Hanavan, spokesman for the sheriff’s office. The shot was fired prior to law enforcement’s arrival on scene. The dynamics of the call changed, Hanavan said, once the shot was fired and the investigations unit was called to assist. Police made entry into the residence at 6:40 a.m. and arrested a male party. Identification of the parties involved is not being released. No injuries were reported.

Maybe that wasn’t a wrong turn after all During a business trip this past week with my associates, we found ourselves in North Carolina and relying heavily upon our GPS system for directions. And with today’s technology it is really almost impossible to get lost, unless of course we are either honest about our own operator errors, or fall victim to that relentless and somewhat irritating message: “Recalculating route.” As we were returning to the hotel from our meeting, and admittedly only one exit away from our destination, we began a riveting discussion about golf. Well, truth be told, our golf games are anything but riveting, but I digress. However, we were distracted just enough to miss our exit, and you guessed it, the next sound we heard was: “Recalculating route.” Our instruction was to take the next left turn and make a U-turn onto the highway back towards the previous exit. As we made the transition into the left lane and waited for an opportunity to open up so that we could merge back into traffic, we all looked ahead at the same time and noticed a sign indicating that we were also at the entrance to the Billy Graham Library. My associate and great friend John, who happened to be driving at the time, looked around the car and asked if we should check it out. An instant and unanimous “yes” easily

rose above the “recalculating route” message as we drove straight across the highway and into the parking lot of the Billy Graham Library. Now I would venture a guess that 80 percent if not 90 percent of everyone reading this column knows who Billy Graham is. But just for those who are unaware, I encourage you to check out the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the Billy Graham Library at www.billygrahamlibrary.org. Now here’s the real deal with this week’s column. We were scrambling, busy, running a frenetic pace, traveling from city to city, and in a rush to get back to the hotel in time to do more work. Our missed exit and wrong turn slowed us down just enough to take us on an unscheduled detour and spend time in one of the most peaceful and truly inspiring places any of us has ever experienced. And as I share this story with you, I am reminded of

the other similar situations and experiences where I found myself on the road less traveled that brought me to an ocean, a park, a river, or some place or location that was unintended but ended up being the absolute right destination at that moment in my life. You know what I mean, don’t you? We try to map or plan out our routes in life to keep up with the rush and crush of everything happening around us. And then just when we think we have it figured out or maybe just feel like we are finally catching up to where we think we need to be at this time of our life or where others think we need to be, we miss our exit, make a potentially wrong turn, and then magically and wonderfully find ourselves exactly where we need to be at that time. Is there a peaceful and inspiring place you need to find? Are you ready and open to missing your exit, taking a wrong turn that just may take you to that place? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when you miss that next exit, it just might be a better than good week.

A little something for those arriving late If you are worried about me because I am retreading themes, and that I might be losing my grip, well, don’t be worried. I hammer the same nails — like Smitty my dachshund, Jennifer my girlfriend, customer service representatives, lutefisk, hair loss, and constipation — partly because I don’t know when you came in. This column is hundreds of columns old by now, but it might be just your first or second one, and maybe you really haven’t figured me out yet. If you are new to “Quiet Desperation,” I can bring you up to speed. You will find a kindhearted man who is patient, generous, and tolerant. Who embraces life, and is outgoing. And who explores this beautiful world that God has created for us, and writes about it for readers like you. It just won’t be me. I am inert and cantankerous. Pessimism is my middle name. “Distrust is the foundation of a good relationship,” is my motto. I think man caves and bachelor parties are dumb. Politicians give me the creeps. I despise the ubiquity of cell phones. Motorists who tailgate should be pulled from their cars and hit repeatedly with a sock full of manure. If you want Hallmark, I am not your writer. I’m a little more like H.L. Mencken, and if you don’t know who he was, look him up. I can write about almost anything because if I don’t know what I am talking about, I can make stuff up, and it gets printed. Don’t tell. If you were to say “gophers,” for example, I

would start with the University of Minnesota. They are the Golden Gophers. It’s a Big Ten school. The Big Ten is made up of 14 schools, not 10, which should give you some idea about the league’s concept of mathematics. Whenever my school’s league expanded they changed the name. At one time it was the Pac-8, then the Pac-10, and now it’s the Pac-12. Those yahoos in the Midwest want to hang on to an inaccurate designation. I refuse to let my son attend a Big Ten university because of it. The school’s colors, maroon and gold, were chosen by a University of Minnesota English instructor named Mrs. Augusta Smith. The colors are nearly identical to USC’s colors, and therefore I always root for the team that Minnesota is playing. Unless it is USC. Bob Dylan was a University of Minnesota student for a little while, just before moving to New York, and turning everything around, including my life. His songs are poems that came at me with

shining, mismatched words. “He shot a fire on Main Street and filled it full of holes.” Dylan, 73, will be performing in Denver on Nov. 1. I won’t be there. Crowds make me uncomfortable, mostly because they consist of people. If you didn’t know much about me 450 words ago, you do now. I am not very interested in simple recitations or benign observations. That’s one of the reasons why Jennifer and I get along so well. Our conversations are usually full of non-sequiturs and word play. But not all of the time. We both experienced very negative marriages. Hers was to a man she met at Xavier, where she was a soccer star. Mine was to vodka. I was on the varsity at Smirnoff State. This is being written a month before our third anniversary, the evening we met, at the Curtis Arts & Humanities Center in Greenwood Village. I was giving an oil painting demonstration. Now we are a couple of disambiguous gophers. So that’s my introduction, if you are new to the column. Thanks for reading, hang by your thumbs, and write if you get work. (I stole that line.

Hickenlooper Continued from Page 3

that clemency for Dunlap may still end up being an option. The Hickenlooper campaign has said he was responding to a hypothetical question and maintains that Dunlap will die in prison. Also this year, the governor caused a stir over remarks on gun-control legislation that he gave to a group of sheriffs meeting in Aspen. There, he apologized to lawmen for not better including them in the legislative process that led to him signing measures into law that created universal background checks on gun sales and banned high-capacity ammunition magazines. Those measure were opposed by the majority of sheriffs in the state, many of whom were onetime plaintiffs in an unsuccessful lawsuit against the new laws. Those are a few examples of what has led to a lambasting of Hickenlooper over his “indecisiveness” and “failed leadership” on the part of Beauprez and the rest of the Republican Party. “Where have I been indecisive?” Hickenlooper said. “Nathan Dunlap? The (Colorado) Constitution gives you three choices: Execution, clemency or a reprieve. We chose reprieve two months before the decision was made.” “And background checks ... I did say I wish we had gone and allowed the other side a greater opportunity to discuss, but I never went back on the decision.”

No to negative ads

Hickenlooper said his political opponents are “looking for anything they can get” to defeat him, while ignoring his accomplishments. The governor said he is proud of his work during the flooding that ravaged many parts of the state last year. While rain was wreaking havoc, the governor held a meeting with Colorado Department of Transportation administrators, during which he urged them to reopen roads around Lyons and Estes Park more than a month ahead of the time they believed was possible. Had those roads not reopened when they did, Hickenlooper believes businesses in those small towns would have shut down.

“We made that decision in 48 hours while the rain was still falling — and we did it,” he said. “That’s indecision?” In spite of a barrage of attack ads that target him, Hickenlooper sticks to the promise he made to voters years ago — that his campaign would never run a negative ad. “Sure it works,” Hickenlooper said of negative campaigning. “If all you care about is winning one short-term election, sure, go out and have a field day; load the cannons and fire off the missiles.” “But, at the end of the election, after all those negative ads, no one is satisfied ... Whoever the winner is, there’s so many negative ads against them, they are going to have a hard time leading.” Hickenlooper said he doesn’t regret any decision he’s made in office. And he points to an economy that has been among the best in the nation in many post-recession categories. The Business Insider website ranks Colorado’s economy tops in the nation. And Forbes magazine recently listed the state among the best states for businesses. However, other economic models show the rest of the state lagging behind the strengthening Denver metro area’s economy with median household incomes decreasing over the last seven years. Still, Hickenlooper believes his stewardship has helped the state move in a stronger economic direction. “I sit there and look back over the past four years (and) I think during all the significant issues, I think we made the right decisions,” he said. Hickenlooper said this is “probably” his last political campaign and that he has “no intention” of running for national office. Hickenlooper said he never imagined that he would be running a reelection campaign for governor while he was opening the Wynkoop Brewery in lower downtown Denver in 1988, Colorado’s first brewpub and microbrewery. “If you would have talked to me even in 1998, I would have said, `No way. Why would I do that? Those guys get attacked,’” he said of running for political office. “Can you really make a difference? Is it really worth the sacrifice? Well, it turns out you really can make a difference. And in my opinion it was worth the sacrifice.”

Waiver Continued from Page 9

application. But the CDE, which must approve all such plans, said the act can’t be used that way. “According to guidance from the attorney general’s office, the state board is not statutorily authorized to waive compliance with the READ Act,” education commissioner Robert Hammond wrote to Fagen in a Sept. 24 letter. Hammond wrote that the results of the READ Act tests are included in the formula the CDE uses to calculate school district performance ratings, “… and thus cannot be waived by the state board under the Innovation Act.” An emailed response from DCSD spokeswoman Paula Hans said DCSD offered schools the possible waiver option after “much due diligence, including consultation with legal counsel.” “DCSD understands that we have a difference of legal opinion/interpretation with the CDE regarding the authority and ability of the State Board of Education to provide relief to our students by waiving portions of the READ Act,” the email reads. “Our legal interpretations may vary, but we are committed to continuing our collaborative work with CDE in the best interest of our students.” Hammond’s letter was not released to Colorado Community Media by the CDE or DCSD, but through a community group. Voices for Public Education filed open records requests with CDE and DCSD. Several community members insist the district isn’t being upfront about its reasons for wanting to use the act.

The 2008 legislation was designed to boost academic achievement, freeing schools from statutes and rules related to budgeting, curriculum, teacher contracts and other policies. Voices’ co-founder Amy DeValk is among several parents who believe DCSD wants to become an innovation district, and remove itself from many state requirements. They submitted a petition asking DCSD to hold community meetings and explain its intent, but such meetings haven’t been scheduled. “By putting innovation status on a school, I don’t think people realize it could open up a whole other can of worms,” DeValk said. “It gives the (DCSD) board of education the opportunity to have a lot more power than they already do. If this was a school board that we had any confidence in or trusted, that would be one thing, but they’re not being upfront with what this means. “In my opinion, they’re starting out with the READ Act because it seems innocuous and like something everybody could support. Once that school has innovation status attached to it, we don’t know what could happen. “Everything they’ve done to this point with pay-for-performance, teacher evaluations, district turnover, public comment at BOE meetings, not holding public forums — if you line everything up, it all adds up to wanting to privatize the school district.” At least 37 schools in four Colorado school districts have been granted innovation status. Most of them are in Denver Public Schools and Falcon School District 49. District 49, east of Colorado Springs in El Paso County, serves 15,000 students over a 133-square-mile rural and urban area.

taking a middle road. Beauprez has also hammered away at Hickenlooper for his handling of issues surrounding hydraulic fracturing. Beauprez has been critical of the governor’s creation of a fracking task force that is charged with providing lawmakers with recommendations on oil and gas drilling issues. Beauprez believes the oil and gas industry is already over-regulated and that Hickenlooper’s fielding of a commission is a yet another example of his “kicking the can down the road” approach to governing. “At some point he crossed a line of `I just want to get along and make everybody happy,’ to `Where do you want to take us and how do you want us to get there?’ Lead,” Beauprez said of Hickenlooper.

Image not cuddly

Beauprez is not afraid to attack, either through political ads or on the debate stage. But some in the media have recently wondered whether Beauprez risks coming across as being too rigid — or even mean. A Denver Post article described Beauprez’s performance during a Sept. 30 debate the newspaper hosted as “practiced and polished — if sometimes stern in his conservative views ...” Left-leaning columnist Mike Littwin of the Colorado Independent said Beauprez came across as angry and bully-like during an Oct. 3 debate in Pueblo. “There’s a very thin line between being aggressive and, well, being a jerk,” Littwin wrote. During a tense moment of the debate, Beauprez was criticized by Hickenlooper for seeming to invoke the 2013 murder of Department of Corrections chief Tom Clements. Clements was murdered outside of his Black Forest home, allegedly by Evan Ebel, an inmate who had been in solitary confinement just days before he was paroled. Beauprez asked Hickenlooper: “What do you have to say to women who are widows who have orphans because of parolees that you have let out of state correction direct from solitary confinement?” Hickenlooper blasted Beauprez’s comments. “For you to make his murder part of a political gambit, I think is reprehensible,” the governor said. Beauprez — who did not specifically mention Clements during the exhange —

Highlands Ranch Herald 9 made no apologies about his comments when asked them during his interview with Colorado Community Media. “It’s true,” Beauprez said as he leaned over the table for emphasis. Beauprez cited a 2013 Denver Post article that reported that 110 parolees were let directly out of solitary confinement and onto the streets in a single year. As for whether people think he comes across as prickly, Beauprez said, “I take the job seriously.” “Most people that know me know that I’m a pretty good grandpa, that I’m a pretty good dad. I’ve been a very good husband, so I’ve got that side to me as well,” he said. “But this isn’t about who you want to go have a beer with or shoot a game of pool with. This is about who can lead this state.” Beauprez, who is pro-life, has also been on the defensive on women’s issues of late. Although abortion and contraception topics have played a big role in Colorado’s U.S. Senate race, they only became a focal point in the campaign when Beauprez said during a Denver Post debate that intrauterine devices (IUDs) are abortifacients, meaning a drug that causes abortions. Beauprez’s view is not backed by the Federal Drug Administration, which classifies the device as one that prevents pregnancies, not ends them. Beauprez told Colorado Community Media that he believes women should use whatever birth control they want, “but I don’t think taxpayers ought to be funding that.” Beauprez said that when Hickenlooper and Democrats try to attack Republicans on issues like abortion and birth control, they are guilty of trying “to change the subject.” “People are so hungry for people to address the real issues in this campaign, but (Democrats) don’t want to talk about it,” he said. With voters set to receive mail ballots soon, it is hard for Beauprez or any other office-seeker to get away from politics. When he does, Beauprez likes to retreat to his bison ranch, time away that he said is “almost like therapy.” When asked if there are similarities between bison ranching and politics, Beauprez let out a hearty chuckle and said, “Good question.” “With bison you don’t change their minds much,” he said. “You kind of have to convince them, cajole them, but mostly you have to encourage them and wait it out and be patient. “And maybe that is a parallel (to politics), that you can’t always do it on your time, your schedule, your way. You’ve got to make sure and bring them along.”

Schwabbies start move to Lone Tree Company celebrates grand opening of corporate campus By Jane Reuter

its Lone Tree campus. The first of about 2,000 Denver-area employees will move into the massive buildings that have forever altered Lone Tree’s physical and financial horizon in early October. Men and women in dark suits and business attire, representing a who’s-who of south metro Denver, gathered at the still-under-construction site for breakfast, tours and a ribboncutting ceremony. Schwab opened its Lone Tree retail branch building at the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Park Meadows Drive in May, and erected a 50-foot-tall “Schwab” sign along I-25. “If you didn’t notice the new branch, maybe you noticed the sign on I-25,” Schwab senior vice president Brian McDonald said during the grand opening event. “In fact, we got a complaint — IKEA called and said it was too big.” The towering yellow-and-blue IKEA sign marks the retail store in neighboring Centennial. McDonald’s tone turned more serious as he talked about the move to Lone Tree. Schwab’s metro-area workers now are scattered among three buildings around the Denver metro area. “I always like to say we’re moving out of an office park and into a neighborhood,” he said. “We feel like we’re an integral part of the community already.” McDonald said Schwab already has helped sponsor community events and worked with the city on cementing the future southeast light rail extension and the Lone Tree Link employee shuttle. “We’re thrilled to not only be in the community but of the community,” he said. At buildout, the 47-acre campus that features an outdoor amphitheater, rooftop garden, café and trails could house 4,000 employees. “These jobs mean a lot to us,” Lone Tree mayor Jim Gunning said. “What that means to our sales tax base, what that means to our property values, is immeasurable.” Schwab already has completed two, five-story office buildings and is at work on its third, with completion expected in mid-2015. “I think that we can look forward to more and more Schwabbies coming and buying homes,” Gunning said. Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella translated the impact of all those employees into dollars. “These 4,000 jobs … that’s $1.5 billion a year in economic stimulus through our community,” she said. “That’s staggering.” Employee Tammi Torgler, who now works in Schwab’s leased space in Englewood, will be among the first to move to

Each cubicle comes with a workstation that gives employees the option to sit or stand, a feature she looks forward to using. “We’re excited about the building,” she said. “The amenity space is incredible. They really did a nice job.” Guests at the grand opening gave the facility positive reviews. “It is a very impressive space,” said Greg Mills, an administrator at Kaiser Permanente’s new Lone Tree building. “The outdoor space, the rooftop garden — it all shows very thoughtful planning.” “It’s absolutely fabulous,” said Laura Brandt, a director with the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation, “and it’s a significant statement Charles Schwab has made to the community about the quality of our community and our work force.” Lone Tree community development director Kelly First surveyed the expanse of mountains visible from the building’s large, west-facing windows. “We’ve been looking at plans so long, it’s nice to see the real product,” she said. The financial securities firm has $2.4 trillion in assets and more than 9 million accounts. Headquartered in San Francisco, it employs more than 13,000 people nationwide. Schwab opened its first Denver branch office in 1978.

In the comfortable manner of longtime acquaintances, the men and women greet one another with warm smiles, swapping updates on family members, sharing stories of their summer vacations. But the twice-monthly morning gathering of The Team at the Greenwood Village City Hall is all in the name of business — and helping others find business. The Team is a leads group. Built on a foundation of trust, familiarity and a sense of obligation, the group’s intent is to help its members succeed in business by providing solid sales tip to one another. What makes the south metro-based group unique is its longevity. Founder Frank Zieg, a Lone Tree Realtor, held the first meeting of the then-unnamed group of four in 1987. Today, more than 60 people are on the roster. “In hindsight, I probably should have franchised it,” Zieg said. “There are a lot of other leads groups that have come and gone since I started this one.” Zieg belonged to a national leads organization called Le Tip before deciding to start The Team. Like Le Tip and BNI International, The Team is limited to one person from each line of business, a rule that prevents competition among members. The Team’s annual dues are $75, much less than most other leads groups. That means there are no morning buffets or continental breakfasts. Most mornings, you won’t find as much as a box of grocery-store doughnuts or pot of coffee in the room. Zieg throws a party at Christmas and another during the summer. The rest of the money is used for printing lead forms and other miscellaneous costs. “I keep it pretty lean so we do have enough money to do a couple nice parties,” he said. “Occasionally we’ll bring in some food for the heck of it.” The bare-bones nature of the group is part of the allure for Team members, many of whom left other leads groups to join Zieg’s. “They didn’t like the format or expense, or there was too much pressure on them to bring leads,” Zieg said. “Here, it’s kind of what you do with it. The idea is to come in, have a good reciprocity type of relationship and try to get people leads. “I get 20 to 25 percent of my real estate business out of the group. So it’s worthwhile.” Group members include three attorneys — all specializing in different areas of the law — a skin-care specialist, dentist, mortgage consultant, flooring specialist and photographer, among others. They not only pass leads, but credit one another for doing so. During the Sept. 4 meeting, a windows and siding salesman

Therapist Ruth Sharon talks with members of The Team leads group about the book she co-authored with her husband Jim, right, during the group’s Sept. 4 meeting at the Greenwood Village City Hall. Photo by Jane Reuter hands another Team member a $500 check; it’s his company’s policy to award a percentage of a sale to anyone who gives a solid lead. Others pass on verbal kudos. “I walk in the door and (counselor) Jim Sharon hands me two leads,” said David Geras, CEO of GoldLeaf Care Givers. “This is a great place to spend Thursday morning.” Counselors Jim and Ruth Sharon invite Team members to a book-release celebration for their co-authored “Secrets of a Soulful Marriage.” “We’ve gotten a couple of referrals for counseling, and even counseled some of the people that are in here,” Jim Sharon said. “We’re good at giving leads, and we work with some of these people directly to provide services for us.” While the focus is on sales, the years also have created bonds among the group. When Valerie Ness of Summit Careers stands during the Sept. 4 meeting, it’s not to offer credit for or pass along a lead — it’s to give thanks. Ness recently spent three weeks in the hospital. “I have never been so touched by the generosity of this group,” she said. Relationships are among the keys to The Team’s success. And building them requires regular attendance. “I get after people if they miss a meeting,” Zieg said. “Otherwise, people are just going to forget about you. You’ve got to show up. And you’ve got to be a leads giver.”

windows,” Lori Hickerson said. “I wouldn’t let my dogs out in it. I wouldn’t have wanted to go out in it.” At the Hickersons’ residence, the west-facing screens on the windows were trashed, Dave Hickerson said, as was the canvas top of the gazebo which stands on their back deck. “The frame is fine, but the canvas top (now) has big holes,” Dave Hickerson said, and added that it will have to be replaced. He noticed one home had a broken window, he said, and others had some windows boarded up or had visible damage to the shutters. The Hickersons got a new roof about a year-and-a-half to two years ago, so their biggest concern is roof damage, which they will have to get someone to come out and inspect, they said. Case reported that a lot of hail fell at the Highlands Ranch Mansion, located at 9950 E. Gateway Drive, and did sustain some damage. But “nothing huge,” he said. The flower bed was destroyed and the glass encasing the outdoor lanterns was shattered. West-facing windows were broken, but there was no damage to the roof of the building, Case said. The extent of the damage to the Chum Howe House, also on the property located west of the Mansion, is broken windows, he said. The Hickersons said the hailstorm is a little unusual because it happened late in the year for this type of weather. Weather that brings hail usually occurs in the spring, they said. But, “this is Colorado,” Dave Hickerson said, “so we do get this weather.”

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com A network of Colorado farmers, ranchers and local food producers are reviving the idea of the historical trading post. Historically, the Trading Post is a community center where locals pick up their essential provisions and enjoy the exchange of ideas and neighborliness. Now, a collective of modern Colorado farmers and ranchers are hoping to revive the concept with a series of events that aim to bring local and food producers together. There inaugural Farm2Table Trading Post event will be at the CALF, Lowell Ranch, 2330 S. I-25 East Frontage Road, in Castle Rock from 9 a.m. to noon Oct. 18th. The Castle Rock Trading Post is scheduled to take place every third Saturday of the month. “For local farmers and ranchers it can be really tough to turn a profit while competing with big business. During the summer months we do go to farmers markets and things like that, but come winter time most people end up going back to Safeway or King Soopers,” Trading Post Founder Neil Fischer said. “It’s a plight shared by every local farmer in Colorado.” Fischer described the Trading Post as a non-produce farmers market where everything from meats to locally grown potatoes and mushrooms will be available. Participants in the Trading Post rally around the idea that healthy food is a matter of integrity and trusted relationships and that Farm2Table Trading Post will become a symbol for that trust as a reliable local food source. Fischer said he hopes the Trading Post will provide the growing number of people concerned about where and how their food is made with an alternative that both provides them with a higher quality of food and allows local farmers and ranchers to create a more sustainable business model. Events also feature educational demonstration or presentation on the growing, preserving, or cooking of healthy food. Items are offered in “mini-bulk” or fam-

WHAT’S AVAILABLE • Pastured meats (beef, buﬀalo, pork, lamb and chicken) • Locally-baked organic breads • Dried, canned and fresh fruits (in season) • Organic mushrooms, honey, nuts, grains, bean, oils, and spices • Locally-made artisanal food products, and pinon nut coffee.

ily-sized quantities, which means they can keep distribution costs to a minimum. You can buy online directly from any of the producers by placing your order (by noon Wednesday) with the Trading Post of your choice, where your food will be waiting for your pickup the following Saturday morning. According to Trading Post, they represent only local producers they know personally and who are committed to the highest standards of quality, safety, freshness and sustainability. Grass-fed meats come from compassionately-raised animals that are not exposed to pesticides, herbicides or GMOs and chickens enjoy the finest organic feed and plenty of pasture forage. “Most people have no idea where their food comes from. They go to the store and pick it up and they have no idea how it was raised or what it ate or who it was raised by,” Fischer said. “We want to connect our farmers and ranchers directly with the people who buy their products. We want people to be able to go up and talk to the person that raised their beef or chicken and ask questions and create a connection.” The Castle Rock event will also include live music, food from local farms, organic baked goods, coffee, homesteading demonstrations and a drop-in visit from Buffalo Bill Cody and Anne Oakley. “In Colorado we export 97-98 percent of the food we produce to other places and we import 90-91 percent of what we eat,” Fischer said. “That’s not a sustainable. We hope that with these events we can not only provide local food for the people of Colorado but also educate people as well.” For more information about the trading post and their upcoming events, visit farm2tabletradingpost.com

State tightens rules for pot businesses Normalizing doses of edibles is among new regulations By Katie Kuntz

Rocky Mountain PBS I-News Medical and retail marijuana dispensaries are getting about 30 new rules related to almost every aspect of their businesses. The state Marijuana Enforcement Division released the new rules Sept. 24. They change everything from the start-up licensing fees to rules for cultivation, production, edibles, sales, employee training and product testing. The rules go all the way down to a hand-washing requirement. State officials have contended that Colorado’s new recreational marijuana industry is a work in progress, and these new standards underscore that fact. “I think the new rules make a lot of sense,” said Mark Slaugh, CEO of iComply, a cannabis industry compliance and consulting firm. “We’re putting out consumer education and teaching business owners and workers how to be responsible vendors. From a business decision, it’s a nobrainer.” Among the new rules is a revision of a proposal that caused an uproar

at a hearing earlier in September: production caps on greenhouse or outdoor grows. The proposed rule would have allowed greenhouses to produce only half the amount of plants allowed at indoor or warehouse operations. The new rules do not make that distinction and allow the same number of plants, 3,600, for the firstlevel cultivation process. “I think that the state really listened to the greenhouse workers and was responsive to the impassioned testimony,” said Meg Collins, executive director of the Cannabis Business Association, and one member of the work group committee writing the production rules. In the new rules, the enforcement division also established minimum “responsible vendor training” requirements along with minimum public health and safety requirements for anyone manufacturing edible marijuana products. The state has issued 18,666 marijuana occupational licenses. Each individual with a license will be required to meet new minimum training standards if hired by a shop, cultivation center, testing facility or product manufacturer. There are 496 licensed medical shops and 242 recreational stores in Colorado. The state has received 177 additional applications for recreational stores and grow operations that could be approved by October 1. “I believe it’s our responsibility to be as safe as we can be and make sure every bud tender and customer knows what to expect,” said Brian Ruden, a retail and

medical marijuana store owner in Denver, Louisville and Colorado Springs. “It’s just better for the industry to err on the side of caution when the whole country, everyone is looking at the industry now.” Aside from safety and health training, new rules will also normalize the amount of marijuana found in any edible — ensuring that a single serving size has no more than 10 milligrams of active THC, the intoxicating chemical in marijuana. “So that could be something as small as a peanut butter cup or bonbon or as large as a soda,” said iComply’s Slaugh. “If there is more than one serving in the product, it has to be easily identified.” The serving size rule is meant to ensure a more safe consumption of edible marijuana. Edibles have a greater risk for over-consumption because the digestion of marijuana causes a later onset of the effects. Some people respond by eating more. Testing requirements have also changed. The Marijuana Enforcement Division will not only require testing for potency in edibles, but also for chemicals like pesticides and for the presence of fungi. “I already spend a small fortune every month testing and that is only going up because of all the other things they are testing,” Ruden said. “I’m excited for more responsible regulation, but frustrated with the expenses, the licensing fees, taxes and testing.” Others expressed concern about what the new rules don’t include.

Marijuana testing facilities will only test product from licensed cultivation centers, not home growers or medical marijuana caregivers. “We’re still not able to know how to dose,” said Ashley Weber, medical marijuana patient and caregiver advocate. “From a caregiver’s side, not being able to test means you don’t know what you’re giving your patient and you are never going to be able to be on a consistent level.” Parents whose children have epilepsy that is treated with medical marijuana won’t know if they are overmedicating those children, she added. The enforcement division has not yet considered expanding testing services to caregivers. Others were concerned that the mass of new regulations might mean more costs, and continuing competition from the black market. “The more rules you have, the more challenging it is, because we are driving up the price,” Slaugh said. “We can offer a consistent, safe product and a wider variety and you don’t have to deal with a drug dealer. I think the legitimate market will always drive away the black market — except for the price.” Colorado Community Media brings you this report in partnership with Rocky Mountain PBS I-News.

Chase suspect heads for trial Judge finds probable cause in preliminary hearing By Jane Reuter jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com A judge found probable cause Oct. 3 to try Ryan Stone, the man facing 26 counts in a March 12 multi-county, high-speed chase that ended in Douglas County. Stone’s arraignment is set for Dec. 1 at the Douglas County Justice Center. Judge Susanna Lea Meissner-Cutler made her ruling at the end of a more than two-hour preliminary hearing during which a Longmont police officer and two Douglas County Sheriff’s Department officers testified about their roles in the chaotic, morning rush-hour incident. Stone is suspected of carjacking three vehicles during the nearly two-hour pursuit.

The first, containing a 4-year-old boy, was stolen from a Longmont gas station. Stone allegedly later abandoned the car, with the uninjured boy inside it, to hijack another. In all, he damaged a total of nine vehicles at an estimate of more than $33,000 in damage, according to testimony. Attired in a red-andwhite striped inmate’s uniform, Stone smiled at six adults sitting in the front row Stone of the courtroom as he entered the chambers. He faced forward through the rest of the hearing, watching the proceedings. One of the women among the six repeatedly dabbed at her eyes with a tissue throughout the testimony. Across the aisle, Colorado State Patrol Trooper Bellamann Hee watched the preliminary hearing with one of his legs — encased in a plastic support from the knee down — ex-

tended and resting on a chair. Stone allegedly struck Hee with a car he had stolen on March 12 while the trooper attempted to deploy stop sticks on E-470. Hee suffered serious injuries, including a broken tibia. The 29-year-old Stone had several addresses in the Denver metro area, but an officer testified Oct. 3 that the driver’s license he carried with him on March 12 showed he lived in Highlands Ranch. A toxicology test showed Stone tested positive for methamphetamine, marijuana and Lorazepam. Lorazepam typically is used to treat anxiety. Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputy Brian Benns, who reportedly used his patrol car to block Stone’s final attempt to carjack a fourth car after crashing at the intersection of Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street, also pursued Stone on foot. When deputies arrested Stone a few minutes later, Benns said Stone’s “eyes started to roll back in his head,” prompt-

Man who shot at police to spend life in prison Judge sentences CJ Galley to 169 years for endangering officers, public in car chase By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com A Douglas County judge ordered CJ Galley to spend 169 years in prison for leading a high-speed chase that prosecutors said endangered the public and pursuing officers. Galley, 24, was convicted on 18 criminal counts stemming from a February 2013 chase that seriously injured an officer and wreaked havoc on roads in Parker and Castle Rock. The Northglenn man was found guilty in June of attempted first-degree murder of a police officer, among several other felony charges.

Before handing down the sentence in a packed courtroom Oct. 2, Douglas County District Court Judge Richard Caschette said Galley “taunted law enforcement” in the months prior to the chase, which happened when the North Metro Drug Task Force attempted to execute a felony warrant on Galley for assaulting an officer. Caschette said he showed a long pattern of disregard and disrespect for laws, and openly doubted Galley’s potential to rehabilitate and contribute to society if given the chance. The eight officers who addressed Caschette during the hearing asked him to Galley impose the maximum sentence allowed by law. That included former Commerce City police officer Rob Feeney, whose in-

juries from the incident forced him to retire from law enforcement. Galley ran over Feeney with a stolen Ford F-350 when he made his initial escape. “My life changed forever in the matter of a few minutes,” Feeney said, adding that Galley cared more about momentary freedom than Feeney’s life. Galley hung his head during the comments, then delivered a brief statement to the court, saying he was sorry for the harm he caused, including Feeney’s career-ending injuries. He became emotional when the judge read the sentence. Because his case involves violent crimes, Galley will have to serve at least 75 percent of his sentence. Emily Wickham, Galley’s defense attorney, said she plans to file an appeal. Galley has prior convictions for theft, burglary and probation violations, and has an active case in Adams County for racketeering.

ing Benns to call paramedics. “I didn’t know if he was on medication or (if it was) some drug issue,” Benns testified. Most of the chase was captured on a news helicopter’s video camera. Douglas County Sheriff’s Detective Mike Duffy went through the video clip by clip during the hearing, explaining each sequence of events. Duffy also testified than an inmate housed with Stone told him Stone admitted he knew the 4-year-old was in the car while he was driving it. Stone’s 26 counts include attempted murder, kidnapping, assault, aggravated motor vehicle theft, robbery, vehicular eluding, criminal mischief and leaving the scene of an accident. In addition to the March 12 incident, Stone had multiple outstanding warrants in various jurisdictions. Charges listed in those warrants included burglary, auto theft, and failure to appear on drug-related charges.

October is reminder of disease fight

Get your

scare on

October reminds those of us who are breast cancer survivors how lucky we are for having lived through the journey. Ours is a sorority we never wanted to join. But we did unwillingly and lived to tell it. For me, a multi-year survivor (it’s funny that I no longer remember how many years), October is also a month to support breast cancer patients who are on the path to survival through donating to a charity. My wish in October, and the rest of the year, is for a cure in my lifetime that will annihilate this insidious disease.

Rich Grant, Denver’s biggest booster who’s worked at Visit Denver for nearly 35 years, has finally set a retirement date — Dec. 31, his 35th anniversary with the Convention and Visitors Bureau. “It’s been a wild and truly wonderful ride, and I had the great privilege of working with the best communications team ever assembled: Deborah Park, Sarah Welch, Katie Adamson Converse, Shannon Dexheimer, Meredith Mirrington, Jennifer Elving Asbury, Angela Berardino, Carrina Waneka, Jill McGranahan, Joy Long Meadows, Andrea Burns, Diane Bechamps, Kim Farin and Carolyn Livingston,” Grant posted on his Facebook page Tuesday. “And of course, it’s been great working with (CEO) Richard Scharf and the rest of the amazing Visit Denver team. I’ll still be around consulting. And I imagine there might be a retirement party in the future. Or two. Or three. Cheers!” Grant has been toying with his retirement date for months, but settled on his 35th work anniversary and his 65th birthday as the right time. “When I discovered there were 12 new breweries in Denver that I hadn’t been to, I realized — I don’t have enough free time!” he said. I have worked and cocktail-partied with Grant during my 21 years as a Denver-based journalist. Grant, indeed, is Denver’s biggest booster even when he’s trying to convince me that a story that really isn’t a story deserves front-page attention. He’s been a staunch supporter of our fair city, and will be sorely missed.

Taking a stance against stereotypes Highlands Ranch native competes on America’s Next Top Model By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Matthew Smith does not like labels, but what the 2008 Mountain Vista High School graduate does advocate is the importance of acceptance. The idea behind Smith’s NO LABELS clothing line and message is to eliminate stereotypes, regardless of race, sexual preference or religious affiliation. Smith, 24, believes it is more important to learn who a person is before what a label portrays them to be. “Labels are demeaning and dehumanizing,” he said. “Labeling is a horrible habit and makes people lazy before they get to know somebody.” Smith resides in Los Angeles, and NO LABELS came about when the actor/model appeared on the TV show “America’s Next Top Model,” cycle 21, which The CW began airing on Aug. 18. In episode five, contestants were assigned to work in pairs with the task of posing seductively together in a photo shoot for a faux fragrance. Smith was partnered with Will Jardell, a gay man, but Smith did not let the difference of sexual preference deter him. Nor did he let a kiss that someone dared them to do ruin their friendship. “I told everyone I stand for no labels,” Smith said. “I encourage people to get to know someone first.” He added he is comfortable and confident within himself, therefore, would not judge Jardell’s character simply because Jardell had been labeled as gay. Smith has always had an acceptance of people for who they are deep down, his mother, Rene Smith-Tomczak, said. “He’s been exposed to a full range of people and their choices,” she said. “He’s always loved all people. There’s no limit, anybody can be his friend.” America’s Next Top Model is televised in

Matthew Smith, a contestant on the current cycle of America’s Next Top Model, poses for a home photo in Highlands Ranch promoting his NO LABELS brand jacket.

Local man Matthew Smith, a contestant on the current cycle of America’s Next Top Model, travels from Los Angeles to visit his hometown of Highlands Ranch as often as possible, he said. The message promoted through his NO LABELS clothing brand is gaining international recognition. Courtesy photos 186 countries, Smith said. Still, he did not expect the NO LABELS concept to become as widespread as it has. “Talking about it, it sounds simple,” he said, “but feedback has been overwhelming and awesome.” He has received fan mail from people all over the world, Smith said. One young male in Indonesia wrote him and said before he heard Smith’s message, he had considered committing suicide after being shunned in society for his sexual preference. “He has a great message for the world,” Smith-Tomczak said. “Society wants to put

labels on everything and everyone. Sometimes, the labels make people feel bad about themselves.” The NO LABELS clothing brand is starting to be mass-produced, Smith said, and recently formed a partnership with Rocky Mountain Flag Company, which is based in Aurora. Smith visits Highlands Ranch as often as possible, and said he is excited that NO LABELS, something Smith believes will become a global concept, ultimately started in Highlands Ranch. “Community is important,” Smith said,

“it molded me into who I am.” Smith’s former marketing teacher at Mountain Vista, Sheri Bryant, who is now the career and technical coordinator for the Douglas County School District, said Smith had always been charismatic and confident, so she is not surprised that he found success. But the avenue is not what she expected. “Modeling landed in his lap,” she said, “he’s had to work hard to keep true to his character.” Bryant believes Smith’s message speaks well to teens and young adults. It teaches them that a label is not something they want to be a part of, she said. Compared to Los Angeles, people are friendly in Highlands Ranch because they’re allowed to be, Smith said, and it’s important to teach kids that they can accomplish anything they want. It may seem like a “massive idea,” he said, but “keep raising the bar. Push to think bigger.”

`Mish’ and `Tish’ open imaginations for future writers Local author and publishing company of children’s books launches Kickstarter campaign

MORE INFORMATION • To help Mish & Tish Publishing’s Kickstarter campaign, visit www.kickstarter.com and type in the tagline: “Mish & Tish” in the search projects bar. • For more information on Mish and Tish books, visit www.mishandtish.com. • People may also contact Ingrid Pyka by calling 303-946-4151 or by email pyka@mishandtishpublishing.com.

By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com With the fictional characters of Mish and Tish, created by local author and illustrator Marianne Pyka, children have the creative freedom to go from imaginers to readers to writers to authors. “It starts with the fun of the book,” said Ingrid Pyka, founder of Mish & Tish Publishing, LLC, and Marianne Pyka’s youngest daughter. “Mish and Tish are always happy and smiling, and that transfers to kids.” The imagination part begins with pre-kindergarteners or younger, Ingrid Pyka said, then they go to beginning readers, on to writers at 8 to 10 years of age, and eventually become writers and post their own Mish and Tish adventures on an interactive, virtual bulletin board on the Mish & Tish website. Additionally, children will have an opportunity to submit their Mish and Tish stories for an opportunity to become published authors through Mish & Tish Publishing. “We’re expanding into the educational world,” Ingrid Pyka said. “It’s not just a story book.” To help fund these concepts, Mish & Tish Publishing launched a Kickstarter campaign Oct. 8 to draw support for production and expand their website with literary resources for children, parents and teachers. The publishing company has 30 days to raise their goal of $9,000 through Kickstarter. Kickstarter is a funding website, but if the goal is not met within the allotted time frame, all donations are refunded and the company gets nothing. Additionally, companies must provide reward incentives to people who donate. Some of Mish and Tish Publishing’s rewards include

Marianne, left, and Ingrid Pyka pose with copies of ‘Mish and Tish and Mama’s Brush’ at the Highlands Ranch Tattered Cover Bookstore. Photo by Christy Steadman personalized autographs, recognition on the Mish & Tish website, Be-an-Author school assemblies and early release eBooks. “Mish & Tish and Mama’s Brush,” the first of the series, was independently published in 2013. The book received Colorado Independent Publisher’s Association’s EVVY awards at the 2014 awards banquet in the categories of poetry, printing and children’s picture books. “Mish & Tish and Mama’s Brush” is available at Douglas County libraries. In-store purchases can be made at The Tattered Cover bookstores, or online at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. The next book, “Mish and Tish: Fun in the Garden,” is scheduled to be out by November, Ingrid Pyka said, and there are another eight books either “ready to go” or in “strong concept production.” “Of course, when kids submit theirs, we’ll have an endless supply,” she said. Although Ingrid Pyka’s dream is for children all over the

world to have access to Mish and Tish adventures, her desire is to maintain all publishing aspects with small businesses and prefers them to be local, she said. She has already done business with Frederic Printing, a company based in Aurora, and Denver Bookbinding Company, which was established locally in 1929. The idea for the Mish and Tish adventures came to Marianne Pyka, an 89-year-old German native who resides in Highlands Ranch, when she was enrolled in a creative writing course at a community college. She wrote “Mish & Tish and Mama’s Brush” for the class, and illustrated it with simple drawings so children are able to easily imitate the pictures, she said. Marianne Pyka enjoys being around children and believes in family togetherness. All children should be encouraged to participate and use their imaginations, she said. “I don’t want children to have to always sit and be quiet. I want to get children talking,” Marianne Pyka said. “Mish and Tish stimulate them to tell stories themselves.”

people see it, since it hasn’t been done in the area recently. She shares the stage with veteran actor/director Brian Walker Smith in a chronicle of the 50-year marriage of Agnes and Michael Snow (1895-1945), based on Jan de Hartog’s play, “The Four Poster.” Tom Jones wrote the book and lyrics and Harvey Schmidt wrote the music for the popular piece, which Nepi calls “a play, with music.” Nepi speaks highly of Smith — “he’s lovely.” And she talks about her song, “What is a Woman?’’ It is “my life as we speak — every woman from 40 to 80 will relate to that song.” The piece was original written for Mary Martin and Robert Preston, Nepi said. Nepi majored in theater at the University of Maryland, and met her husband Mark after graduation when he was in the pit band for a production she was performing in. The family moved to Colorado about 16 years ago. Mark had been at the Air Force Academy and liked Colorado, so they welcomed an opportunity. Like many in Colorado’s theater community, the family had connections with “Magic Moments” productions that benefit the handicapped. Nepi is getting increasingly active in both straight and musical theater now that her children are older. Mary, a ThunderRidge High School alumnae, graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in theater and is in Los Angeles launching a career, while Peter is a senior at ThunderRidge and looking at colleges. He’s not an actor, PM but may be interested in film or television, she thinks.

Bryan Walker Smith and Suzanne Nepi, of Highlands Ranch, play Michael and Agnes through 50 years of a marriage in “I Do! I Do!” at Vintage Theatre. Courtesy photo He is also active in sports. Nepi was cast in “Spring Awakening” last year with Ignite Theatre Company and sang in “The Drowsy Chaperone” in the Stapleton summer production. “I feel very blessed,” she said. “This city is amazing to me … Lots of great regional theater. I’m trying to branch out.” She has been auditioning and had a call-back recently. She will be in a new holiday play at the Edge Theater. She has also been taking voice lessons, since singing parts are often involved. Opportunities in straight and musical theater cross over here. She studies with Laura High in Littleton. And she has developed a supportive network of moms and church friends in Highlands Ranch, as she lives “somewhere that’s green.” She tries to get them to attend theater in Denver … “to leave the bubble.”

238 groups get OK for funding By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com On Sept. 25, the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District board of directors approved distribution of nearly $6.5 million to 238 scientific and cultural organizations that qualified for Tier III grants. Funds will be distributed in public ceremonies in area counties, including Arapahoe ($1.4 million) on Oct. 16 and Douglas ($439,000) on Oct. 28. While many organizations perform across borders and receive multiple grants, these are the counties that serve our south suburban readers. Chairs for county cultural councils, appointed by county commissioners, are Barbara Duff for Arapahoe and Ann Speer for Douglas. Metro-area voters created the SCFD in 1988 and voted to approve a 1 cent on $10 sales and use tax to provide for the enlightenment, entertainment and education of the

public. The SCFD administers the distribution of voter-approved funds to eligible organizations, and between 1989 and 2013, distributed more than $804 million for advancement or preservation of art, theater, dance, zoology, botany, natural history and cultural history. The program is recognized and admired nationally. Arapahoe County organizations include the Arapahoe Philharmonic, Cherry Creek Chorale, City of Englewood, Christian Youth Theater, Greenwood Village Arts and Humanities Center, Littleton Symphony, Littleton Town Hall, South Suburban Parks and Recreation nature and cultural enrichment programs, Up Close and Musical, Young Voices of Colorado and many more. Douglas County grants include Cherokee Ranch and Castle, Christian Youth Theater, Hawkquest, Highlands Ranch Concert Band, Lone Tree Symphony Orchestra, Parker Arts Council, Performance Now Theatre Company, South Suburban Symphony Orchestra (now Parker Symphony) and more. For more information on check ceremonies, application process and complete listings of grants, visit scfd.org.

Sophomore leads Golden Eagles into state Ben Antonsen, Class 5A runner-up in 2013 at No. 2, will contend at No. 1 singles By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Ben Antonsen knows what to expect this season. Last fall, that wasn’t the case. Antonsen was a freshman, playing at No. 2 singles, and was surprised by the atmosphere surrounding the state tournament. He still wound up as a state runner-up. “I thought I knew what it was going to be like going into the state tournament but I was a freshman and I didn’t think a whole lot of people would be coming to watch the state tournament,” recalled Antonsen. “Then I got into the warm-ups and there were like 20 people watching that I didn’t know from my school. Well, then I knew this is pretty big.” Antonsen is playing No. 1 singles this season and won the Region 5 championship with a 6-2, 6-0 victory over Castle View’s Cody Carlton on Oct. 2 at the Redstone tennis facility in Highlands Ranch. The victory earned him a return trip and a good seed in the 2014 Class 5A state tournament to be held Oct. 9-11 at Gates Tennis Center in Denver. “I’m excited to get back again,” said Antonsen. “It’s the best time for tennis, the state championships. I’m feeling good about my game going in. I’ve had a very good season. I’ve got a lot of momentum to build on off of the region because I played some good matches. I’ve just been working the whole year toward

state. It’s where you go to play your best. “I got a lot of familiarity with higher-level players this season. Every school has at least one good kid. So when you are playing a good match every week, it’s good practice for state. It’s good to play that level of competition to get ready for state. You always go out trying to play the same way, your same style, playing aggressively and dictating play. So you go into every match and whatever happens, happens. Whatever is thrown at you in a match, you’ve got to be ready.” Antonsen is 13-1 this season with his only loss coming to Air Academy’s Keenan Kaltenbacher in a third-set tiebreaker in the Western Slope Open in Grand Junction. In the Region 5 finals Antonsen played sharp against Carlton and beat the Castle View senior for the second time in nine days. “I came out and played aggressively,” Antonsen said. “He started playing aggressively too because he was pumped up trying to win the finals of regionals. I felt like I hung in there and served well, played well and I’m happy to get the No. 1 position for Mountain Vista into state. “It’s nice to have familiarity with the person you are playing, knowing you’ve played him and knowing what his game is going to be like so there are no surprises going into the finals. You just focus on what you need to do and what you did last time. He hits hard and he’s a good player so I knew what to expect and I executed well.” Carlton couldn’t overcome Antonsen’s execution. “I felt like I played really good,” said Carlton. “(He) is very good. He’s a well-rounded player. He just wouldn’t miss. He had to beat

Mountain Vista’s Ben Antonsen won the Region 5 No. 1 singles title with a 6-2, 6-0 win over Castle View’s Cody Carlton on Oct. 2 at Redstone Park in Highlands Ranch. Photo by Jim Benton me. He just got more shots than I did.” Mountain Vista, the Continental League champions and third at the 2013 state tournament, qualified eight of 11 players for state which hampers the Golden Eagles chances of contending for a state title against perennial powerhouse Cherry Creek and impressive Fairview. Vista’s No. 2 singles player Austin Gruszczynski added to his unbeaten season record with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Castle View’s Josh Hunt. The senior is now 13-0. Mountain Vista’s Kobe Holdren and Ashwin Vaithianathan were the Region 5 No. 1 doubles champs. Sean Barich and Hunter

Hostelley, the Golden Eagles No. 2 doubles pair, also will head into the state tournament as regional champions. The No. 4 doubles pair of Eric Shao and Ethan Simmons were also Vista regional winners. Greg Connelly of Castle View will join Carlton and Hunt at the state tournament after winning a No. 3 singles state-qualifying playback. “I think Ben and all our kids have a tremendous opportunity to do very well at state,” said Mountain Vista coach Jim Flanigan. “We just need to work and know that we need to play our best tennis at state. Anything is possible at all our positions as long as we play our tennis.”

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com There’s always chatter about Valor Christian’s football team which has captured five consecutive state championships, including the past two in Class 5A. The Eagles football team, however, might have to share a little of the limelight with the boys golf team, which captured the Class 4A state golf title for the fourth time in six years by finishing 23 strokes in front of second-place Pueblo South at the state tournament held Sept. 29-30 at Walking Stick in Pueblo. “We’ve won four in the last six years and lost in a playoff one other year,” said Valor boys golf coach Jason Preeo. “The football team is still a little bit ahead but that’s alright.” All four Valor golfers finished among the top six in the individual standings in Pueblo. Senior Jake Staiano was second with a 4-under par 140 total to finish two shots behind state champion Taylor Rodriguez of Pueblo South. Staiano tied for the first day lead with a 67 and shot a 73 on the final round. Ross Macdonald carded a 2-under par 70 during the final round and finished third at 2-under 142 while Coby Welch tied for fourth at 146 and Pierce Aichinger tied for sixth with a 147 36-hole total. “The kids played really well,” said Preeo. “On day two it was windy and certainly a lot more difficult than the first day. All the scores went up a little bit but they hung in there. Ross’ round of 70 was probably just about as good as shooting 67 the first day. The kids were really dealing with a little bit of pressure with the expectations but they came through and played well.” In the Class 5A tournament at the Colorado Springs Country Club, Highlands Ranch was four shots off the lead after a three-player total of 230 for the first round on Sept. 29. The Falcons faded during the final 18 holes and wound up tied for fourth in the team standings at 470, 24 shots behind state champion Coronado. Sophomore Tyler Zang paced Highlands Ranch with rounds of 74 and 78 and was tied for 17th in the individual standings at 152. “We have these babies so we’re lining up with a freshman and three sophomores,” said Highlands Ranch coach James Barker. “The first day we just played kind of mediocre. As a team we played maybe C golf. Coronado didn’t play very well the first day. But we were only four strokes behind after day one so we were in second place after not playing very well. “The second day we might have played our worst tournament of the year and slipped to fourth but we were only three shots out of second. We couldn’t quite pull it off. It’s experience. The more competitive golf you play, the smarter you get and the easier it is to hold it together. It would have surprised me a little bit if we had won the whole thing but we just kind of didn’t know how.’’ Barker was already playing it forward after the tournament. “This group of kids I have love to play and love to do the things you need to do to get better,” he said. “I look for us to be a contender next year and the year after that. We’ve got talent now, our work ethic needs to be better and our learning curve needs to be a little steeper. “I am proud of them. We would have rather won the thing but it’s more common for experienced players to hold it together and get it done. We just couldn’t quite get it done.”

Jaguars win battle of unbeatens Rock Canyon edges Mountain Vista in key league soccer clash By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Rock Canyon converted two free kicks into the game’s only goals as the Jaguars edged Mountain Vista, 2-0, in an Oct. 2 clash for undisputed possession of first place in the 5A/4A Continental League soccer standings. “This was a tough game as we knew it would be,” said Rock Canyon Coach Matt Sassali. “These are two teams undefeated in league play that have been on a collision course coming into this game. We got the win but now we need to focus on the remaining games because we play teams near the top of the league standings.” Mountain Vista Coach Theresa Echtermeyer said she knew playing Rock Canyon wouldn’t be an easy task. “They are a physical group and they played strong,” she said. “We lost to a good team, but maybe we’ll see them again in the playoffs.” The Oct. 2 win gives Rock Canyon a 10-1-1 overall record and gives them sole possession of first place with a 7-00 league record as the season heads into the home stretch. The Jaguars were at Ponderosa Oct. 7, at home against Heritage Oct. 9 and will close out the regular season Oct. 15 against Legend at Sports Authority Field. Mountain Vista came into the Oct. 2 game tied for the league lead with Rock Canyon. The loss puts the Golden Eagles overall record at 8-2-2 and league mark at 6-1-0. The loss also dropped Mountain Vista into third place in the league standings with Legend moving into second at 6-0-1. The Golden Eagles came out of the Oct. 2 game with three league games remaining on the schedule, at home Oct. 7 against Legend, on the road Oct. 9 against Ponderosa and a finale Oct. 14 at ThunderRidge.

A Mountain Vista defender, left, tries to no avail to stop a head shot on goal by Rock Canyon’s Cody Ross during the Oct. 2 league soccer game. The goal helped lift the Jaguars to a 2-0 win. Photos by Tom Munds One early attack after another by Mountain Vista ended as Rock Canyon defenders won the battle for the ball and immediately pushed into Golden Eagles territory. The scoreless tie was broken about 13 minutes into the game when the Jaguars capitalized on a free kick. Rock Canyon senior Oliver Larson took the kick from about 20 yards out and lofted the ball near the mouth of the goal where sophomore teammate Aaron Makikalli headed it into the net past a diving goalie. The Jaguars added a second goal about halfway through the second half off a free kick from Lukas Larson. Like his twin brother, he lofted the ball to the area near the mouth of the goal, and this time it was senior Cody Ross who headed it in for Rock Canyon. “The guys overcame the distractions of the senior night celebration and the pressure of playing for first place to play good

soccer,” Sassali said. “We are a strong, physical team but that isn’t the focus of our game because we are also a team with strong technical skills and good speed.” The technical skills came in handy on both Rock Canyon goals in the victory. “The set plays are a point of pride for us,” Sassali said. “We are a senior-dominated team with 16 seniors on the roster. That experience and skill puts us in good position for the rest of the regular season games and for the upcoming state playoffs.” Echtermeyer said this is the first time this season her team has given up two goals. “Our defense is strong and giving up two goals tonight is hard to take,” she said. “But, we’ll learn from this game as we get ready to close out the league season. No one likes to lose but we still are in position to make the state playoffs so we’ll just see what happens there.”

A trio of Mountain Vista defenders, including Brandon Barich (8) and Molan Gao (10) close in on Rock Canyon’s Brian Olcott (9) during an Oct. 2 Continental League contest. The game was a tough defensive battle but the Jaguars converted two free kicks into goals to win, 2-0.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Being sure of your convictions is fine. But leave some room for dissenting opinions. You might learn something that could help you avoid a possible problem later on.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Change is an important factor in your aspect this week and could affect something you might have thought was immune to any sort of adjustment or “alteration.”

The County will entertain a plan that includes LED, LED retrofit kits, multi-lamp T5 / T8 or induction lights.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Being asked to share someone’s deeply personal confidence might be flattering, but accepting could be unwise. Decline gracefully but firmly.
