South metro stories of the year A look at the top 10 of 2014 Staff report In the south metro Denver area, this past year was one of hope and change, inspiration and pain, growth and remembrance. The following are the top 10 stories of 2014, in no particular order, as chosen by Colorado Community Media’s editorial staff.

Business is booming

In November, Colorado’s unemployment rate fell to 4.1 percent, the lowest since early 2008, before the recession slammed the country. The south metro area did its part in job creation in 2014, as businesses continued to find the region an attractive place to set up shop or expand. Some of the major developments of the year: • Sterling Ranch won another legal battle in February and forged ahead in northwest Douglas County. At build-out,

the development is expected to include more than 12,000 homes and spawn a number of businesses around it. • Charles Schwab opened its new Lone Tree campus in early October. As many as 4,000 employees are ultimately expected to work inside the office buildings. • Also in October, plans were unveiled for The Jones District, and early stages of groundwork began on the mixed-use development in Centennial. The project calls for 1.8 million square feet of resi-

Lone Tree’s leaders foresee the proposed Lincoln Avenue pedestrian bridge as much more than just a method for ensuring safe non-motorized passage over a busy throughway. They view it as a way to bridge the city’s two sides, and a potentially postcard-picturesque symbol of the rapidly growing, successful community. “I think we’ve got an opportunity to do something really special with it,” said Lone Tree public works director John Cotten. “We’d like to create something that will become kind of an icon for Lone Tree.” The city council on Dec. 16 approved a $156,000 contract with Fentress Architects — designers of Denver International Airport’s white canopied terminal and the Denver Broncos’ stadium — to create conceptual designs for the bridge. Those will be presented to the public next spring, with construction tentatively set to begin in August. The bridge likely would open in spring 2016. The approximately 170-foot structure would span Lincoln from just west of its intersection with Heritage Hills Circle, between Charles Schwab and the Lincoln Commons shopping center. “One of the things we want this bridge to do is sort of unify the city,” Cotten said. “There are some people who are starting to look at it as the north side and the south side. We need to be one city. We’re hoping this can be not only a physical but symbolic unification of the city. I think it has much greater implication than just getting people across the street.” Lone Tree annexed the six-square-mile RidgeGate development south of Lincoln Avenue in 2000. RidgeGate is home to the Lone Tree Arts Center and recreation center and is the future site of a new Lone Tree library. The north side of Lone Tree includes the post office, Cook Creek pool, current library, movie theater and Park Meadows shopping center. With such widely popular amenities on both sides of Lincoln, demand for easy pedestrian and bicycle access across the increasingly busy Lincoln Avenue is growing fast. Bridge continues on Page 9

dential, commercial and retail establishments. • In November, a $177 million project broke ground in Castle Rock. The Promenade at Castle Rock will feature 1 million square feet of retail and dining establishments. Meanwhile, national retailers continued to pick the south metro area as their first Colorado home. Following in the footsteps of IKEA and Cabela’s in recent years, L.L. Bean chose the area, opening in Lone Tree in November. At the same time, the area continued to grow into something of a hub for the craft beer industry, with breweries popping up, particularly along the C-470 corridor.

Community seeks answers, healing

The Dec. 13, 2013 shooting at Arapahoe High School left two students dead, and painful emotions and questions swirled into 2014. The biggest question seemed to be this: Could the school district have Year end continues on Page 4

Local kittens hit the big time

Several chosen for photos in calendar By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Kittens live as adventurous a life as they can muster within the confines of their home. But sometimes if they’re spotted in the act of adorability, they can become an international star, if only for a day. Curious, bug-eyed and playful, they have names like Miss Annabelle, Sweetie Cake and Fancy Pants, and they hail from as far away as Canada and Japan. The majority of the subjects in the “365 Days of Kittens” calendar for 2015, however, live in the United States, and a few are from the Denver metro area. There is “Yoda,” a gray ball of fluff from Parker snapped while stalking prey in a patch of grass. Then, there are Sydney and Aimee, Highlands Ranch siblings with big, blue eyes and pointy ears, who look like they’re up to no good. Kathy Flanagan, a resident of Castle Rock, has five of her kittens featured in the 2015 calendar, distributed by Workman Publishing Co. Inc. In fact, several kittens that she has fostered on behalf of the Cat Care Society in Lakewood have crept their way onto the pages of the calendar and, in turn, into the hearts of feline-lovers over the years. This year, Divot, Widget and Brassie each get their own day, while lazing litter-mates Fancy Pants and Fanta are forced to share Sept. 3. “It’s so much fun,” says Flanagan, who has fostered more than 300 kittens. “Everyone (selected for the calendar) gets one for Christmas. I have one for work and home.” It was 13 years ago that a friend gave her a kitten calendar, and Flanagan saw the entry form on the back. Knowing that she had “plenty of great raw material” to work with, Flanagan started shooting photos with her digital camera. The photos that appear in the 2015 calendar were taken more than five years ago, and Brassie, Widget and Divot are all grown up and have found forever families. By being immortalized in the calendar though, memories of the kittens will endure.

done more to prevent Karl Pierson’s attack, which ended with his suicide shortly after he fatally shot Claire Davis? In October, 10 months after the shooting, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office released a 37-page summary of its investigative report. The probe found no criminal liability on the part of the school district. The report revealed that Pierson had several run-ins with school administration and had kept a diary that was a window into a troubled soul bent on mayhem and murder. But 2014 was also a year of healing for the Arapahoe High community. In August, Clarity Commons, a peaceful park-like space, was dedicated in Claire Davis’ honor on the Arapahoe campus. The school library where Pierson shot himself to death was remodeled and reopened. And on the one-year anniversary, hundreds turned out for a candlelight ceremony at the school. “We are stronger, we are more aware,

we are focused, we are kinder, we are united and, ultimately, we are successful,” student body president Sanjay Patil said during the event.

More than a game

Bailey Roby just wanted to play. But the Mountain Vista High School basketball player made headlines around the country when he couldn’t. His two prosthetic legs got him up and down the court just fine — it was the Colorado High School Activities Association that temporarily kept him out of the game. Citing safety risks to Roby and the players around him, CHSAA officials in January ruled that Roby, a senior reserve for the Golden Eagles, could no longer play. Midway through the season, it looked as if Roby wouldn’t be able to contribute on the court as Vista pushed for the playoffs. News broke about Roby’s plight and traveled around the nation. At home in Highlands Ranch, his classmates took up his cause with a massive social media campaign. Less than a week later, CHSAA said OK, Roby can play, as long as both teams agree on certain safety parameters. Vista would advance all the way to the state semifinals, but fans of the team would look at Roby’s

The University of Colorado’s announcement in early March that it would begin classes at The Wildlife Experience in northern Douglas County in the fall was only the start. In a surprise move, the founders of The Wildlife Experience announced in September that it was donating the museum to CU, a $40 million gift that is among the largest in the school’s history. The university has renovated 11,000 square feet of underutilized space and began holding classes in the fall. A second phase of construction will begin in 2015. Meanwhile, administrators from CU South Denver have promised to maintain The Wildlife Experience’s most popular programs and keep the Extreme Screen Theater open to the public. CU South Denver has courses in business, engineering, public health, education and nursing. The planned expansion of classes in various areas of study means the university’s profile will only grow in the Douglas County community. The first classes were tailored to fit in with existing industries in Douglas and Arapahoe counties, creating a symbiotic relationship that is expected to flourish well into the future.

Near-record run comes to end

When Valor Christian’s football team arrived at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Nov. 29, it was looking to match the state record for most consecutive championships. Limon won six in a row in the 1960s. Valor would have to settle for five — accumulated in three classifications — after losing a thrilling, one-point game to Cherry Creek, a previously powerful program now on the upswing under one of the state’s all-time greatest coaches, Dave Logan. Earlier in the season, Creek ended another Valor streak, handing the Eagles their first loss to a Colorado opponent in 28 games. But Valor was undaunted and wound up where they were accustomed to being: at the Denver Broncos’ home field, playing for a championship. The Eagles trailed early in the title tilt, then rallied like a champion late to take the lead and stand

on the cusp of matching history. A highlight-reel touchdown run by Milo Hall pulled the Bruins to within a point. But there would be no tie this late, with this much at stake. Logan opted to go for a two-point try. Creek converted, stopped the ensuing Valor drive and took home the ninth title in its history and first since 1996.

Changing of the guard

Spurlock

Weaver

Brackney

At the end of January, longtime Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson handed over the reins to David Walcher. Robinson’s retirement would mark just the first of several high-profile leadership changes in the south metro area in 2014. Consider: • In early March, Gary Sears announced his retirement after 17 years as Englewood’s city manager. Eric Keck took over the post in September. • In late March, John Brackney resigned with little explanation after 10 years as president and CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. In June, Robert Golden was named his successor. • In July, Jack Hilbert left his post as a Douglas County Commissioner, a seat he was elected to in 2006, for a job with the Colorado Department of Human Services, Child Welfare Protection Division. • David Weaver, Douglas County sheriff since 2005, was appointed to replace Hilbert in late July. Weaver was then elected to the seat on the board of county commissioners in November. • Also in July, Douglas County Undersheriff Tony Spurlock was appointed to replace Weaver as sheriff. Voters chose Spurlock for the job in November. The November election brought about a number of new faces in south metro leadership for 2015, including replaceYear end continues on Page 5

ments for term-limited state Reps. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, and Spencer Swalm, R-Centennial; term-limited state Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch; and state Rep. Carole Murray, R-Castle Rock, who decided that three terms are enough. In addition, Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Scott Murphy announced in October that he will retire after the end of the school year.

Voters approve open carry

Castle Rock voters took to the polls to pass two highly publicized, and hotly debated, gun-related ballot measures in 2014. The ballot in the Aug. 19 special election contained two yes-or-no questions. The first was regarding the authority of the town manager to regulate the open carry of firearms in town-owned facilities and parks. The second question was on a charter amendment that would require a town vote to change gun laws in the future. Following the election, the town faced two legal challenges regarding Castle Rock’s election procedure — one of which has been dismissed and one that is still pending — and a recount. After the recount, that margin had increased to 154 votes, with 4,749 votes for and 4,595 votes against. Ballot Measure B, which puts any future changes to gun laws in the hands of town residents, passed easily the first time around, with 71.2 percent voting yes. That total difference after the recount increased by just a single vote, with 6,615 votes for and 2,683 votes against. More than 9,400 of the 32,000 ballots mailed to voters were returned — the most ever in a Town of Castle Rock election.

Urban renewal renewed

It all started subtly enough in Littleton, with whispers of “economic development” and “revitalization.” After it evolved into unabashed calls for “urban renewal,” which can involve words like “blight” and “condemnation,” con-

versations devolved into flaring tempers, name-calling and evident frustration. It became apparent after City Manager Michael Penny took the reins in October 2011 that he had big changes in mind for Littleton, a city that’s no stranger to resistance. One of the first things to be revitalized was the city’s urban renewal authority itself, which changed its name from the Riverfront Authority — its first, only and unsuccessful redevelopment project in the 1980s — to Littleton Invests for Tomorrow. Citizens for Rational Development, which has opposed most new development in the city, also kicked things into high gear, challenging LIFT’s every move. That spurred a new group, Littleton Strong, to form in support of urban renewal. Today, Littleton is faced with competing measures on the ballot for a citizeninitiated special election on March 3, arbitration with Arapahoe County, verbal warfare in public meetings and, likely, a bunch of everyday citizens who are pretty confused about the whole thing.

A banner year for Englewood Schools

History books should mark 2014 as a year of significant events for Englewood Schools, from construction of a new campus to Brian Ewert being selected as state Superintendent of the Year. The most visible change to the schools happened as all Englewood High School buildings except the auditorium and field house were demolished so a new sevenththrough 12th-grade campus could be constructed and major renovations were done at the Englewood Middle School building. When school resumes Jan. 8, the high school classes will be in the newly completed wing, the middle school will be in the wing of the campus where high school classes were for the first half of the year, and Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School will move from northwestern Englewood to the middle school building. But the district’s focus has been improving on its mission of providing a quality education for all students, and 2014 saw positive changes in achievement. The faculty and administrators developed and instituted a streamlined instructional model for the district, and students were provided with personal technology in an effort to help students learn better.

The results have been improvement and steady growth in student performance, contributing to the district accreditation improving two levels. The changes and improvements were noted when the state selected Brian Ewert as Colorado School Superintendent of the Year. He said he was honored and it was noted it was 1991 when Roscoe Davidson was the last Englewood superintendent to be named superintendent of the year.

Changes and court cases in DCSD

Tension continued between the Douglas County School District and parent-led community groups in 2014, following a trend of recent years since the election of reform-minded school board members. Some of the key events: • In February, the district decided to appeal a Denver judge’s ruling that it violated campaign law in the 2013 school board election. • A return by the high schools in Highlands Ranch to a more traditional class schedule, away from the block schedule implemented in 2012. • An arbitrator’s June report in favor of the teachers’ union in a complaint that

the district violated its sick-leave bank agreement. DCSD said it was an “improperly obtained opinion,” and it would seek a fair process to resolve the issue. • The board’s July vote to opt out of the 2014-15 National School Lunch Program. • Disagreement over teacher-turnover statistics. State figures showed DCSD 2013-14 turnover at 17.3 percent, while the district maintained turnover was at 13.1 percent. • An October lawsuit against DCSD by the American Humanist Association for alleged engagement in religious fundraising events. DCSD said it will “vigorously defend” its students’ rights. • The state’s November decision to elevate DCSD’s performance rating to its highest “accredited with distinction” tier. • And closing out the year, the Dec. 10 oral arguments surrounding the district’s voucher, or Choice Scholarship, program before the Colorado Supreme Court. A decision could take up to nine months. Mike DiFerdinando, Chris Michlewicz, Tom Munds, Jane Reuter, Chris Rotar and Jennifer Smith contributed to this report.

CU, Jabs simplify art of starting business Center for Entrepreneurship opens at CU South Denver

‘It’s driving America — new ideas and new programs, how to do things better.’

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Jake Jabs would have seized the opportunity to draw from Denver’s deep pool of entrepreneurial talent. Most Coloradans know him as the successful, tiger-loving pitchman and founder of American Furniture Warehouse. But before his face and distinctive voice made their way onto our television sets, Jabs navigated a world unknown to him. For years, he struggled to avoid the common pitfalls that can derail a fledgling business. “Everything was by the seat of my pants, and I made a lot of mistakes,” Jabs says. Things have come full circle, and the University of Colorado’s Center for Entrepreneurship now has Jabs’ name attached to it. He donated $10 million to the school, primarily because he wanted to give Denver’s ever-growing contingent of entrepreneurs a chance to bypass those headaches. And because there is an inherent willingness among seasoned entrepreneurs to assist their businessgreen brethren, Jabs and CU are putting the pieces in place this spring to breed success. Known as the Launchpad, the program

Jake Jabs is intended to help entrepreneurs either start their own business or improve an existing business. “I’m a big believer in entrepreneurship,” Jabs said. “It’s driving America — new ideas and new programs, how to do things better.” By offering entrepreneurship classes at CU’s Jabs new facility at The Wildlife Experience, on the southwest corner of Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street, the south metro area is about to become a wellspring for professional talent, churning out gleaming examples of what can happen with a little bit of guidance. CU is partnering with community colleges to bring in students who have considered pursuing a full degree but don’t have the necessary time or money. By taking just a few eight-week courses on their own schedule, students can earn a certificate of entrepreneurship from CU, bolstering their traditional educa-

tion with the knowledge of how to start a business. The idea is to send them out into the world well-equipped to face any challenge. “We teach them the basic skills of business: accounting and balancing a budget and how to borrow money, how to make ends meet and live within your means,” Jabs said. Classes count toward a bachelor’s degree for anyone interested in continuing their education. While the instruction is meant to be all-encompassing, there are some things that can’t be taught in a classroom. Local business leaders act as both professor and mentor, helping individual students find their path. The director of the Jake Jabs Center for Entrepreneurship, Madhavan Parthasarathy, Ph.D., who goes by MP, said the close relationships provide students with an “experiential connection, and they need that almost as much as academics.” “The academic education will help them write a business plan, but they have to know where to pitch the business plan,

and if a venture capitalist asked them how they’re going to market it, they will have an answer,” he said. The advisory council that oversees CU’s business school is composed of an all-star team of industry leaders, and with their various connections, there is a seemingly endless store of resources. More than 100 of them are tapped to review student business plans during an annual contest that provides the winner with $50,000 worth of services to start their company. Students get real feedback on what needs improvement and what will work in their favor. The result is a symbiotic relationship that could portend the future of business incubation in the state. It’s not only “very fulfilling to see young people succeed,” but the business leaders also keep a sharp eye out for talent, MP said. “They’re hoping (the Launchpad program) succeeds so well that they can hire people from it,” he said. “Some are investors themselves, and they’re looking to get in early on a good investment. If they see a great idea, they could try to get in and fund the idea.” There is optimism that Launchpad will create a positive cycle for years to come: Jabs says he hopes that students who benefit from the program will return in 10-20 years to offer their expertise to a new generation.

GERARD HEALEY President and Publisher CHRIS ROTAR Editor JANE REUTER Community Editor LISA HAVENS Marketing Consultant ERIN ADDENBROOKE Major Accounts and Classified Manager

Digression could be a side-to-side effect I am going to column-up today, because upping something is the latest gimmick expression, and I try to monkey see and monkey-up whenever I can. This column is gluten-free. It is also dust-free, peanut-free and animal dander-free. But I am supposed to warn you about the side effects, if you decide to read the whole thing. We usually think of side effects as being bad or harmful. But not all of them are. The side effects of love are pretty great: the intimacy, the heart-to-heart conversations, the breathless yearning for each other, breaking up, making up. Sunset walks, road trips, cornhole tournaments in the Midwest, playful arguments about the Spanish Inquisition. Studies have shown that my columns might cause some very interesting secondary effects. You may become erudite. If you have an erudition that lasts longer than four hours, congratulations. Don’t call your physician. And don’t call your doctor either. You might want a baked potato covered with cottage cheese. That’s the way I take it. The glass may no longer look half full. It might not even look half empty. I think we’re running on empty. The song “Running on Empty” was written by Jackson Browne. On the way into a Pink Floyd concert in Phoenix in 1977, a kid came up to me and said, “Are you Jackson Browne?” I guess I looked a little like he did

back then, but I don’t have his jaw. I started to sing “Doctor My Eyes,” and the kid said, “Never mind.” You might take an interest in hypothyroidism, and look up all of the signs and symptoms. I have it. I have to take pills, otherwise I guess I go off the rails. The pills have a name that no one can spell. And there is a reason for that. The chemists were all a little punchy when they came up these pills, and decided to have some fun at our expense. I take Thansyllapectinocus. It’s an anagram of “Can’t spell this, can you?” Those rascals. You might become preoccupied with finding out why they named Des Moines “Des Moines,” just like I was. I learned that they were going to name it “Nancy Louise,” but eventually thought better of it. You could experience Restless Lego Syndrome. The question becomes: Do you make an aircraft carrier or Ginger Rogers? You may try to come up with some

surprising uses for vinegar. You might worry about growing hair on your teeth. Out of the blue, you will start to use your damn turn signals for a change. Inexplicably, you might drive to an animal shelter and look at all of the great dogs and cats that need a home. You will finally give Beethoven a try. You will start to express yourself in tangents, like I do. Someone will say that it’s been a good year, and you will do five minutes on the history of vulcanization. You will find the Cheetos in the freezer, like I do. But don’t worry. This isn’t going to shorten your intestines by 21 feet. (I am paraphrasing Steve Martin.) You will forget about this column an hour after you read it and all of these side effects will have worn off. That’s the same thing that happens when I eat at that wonderful new Chinese restaurant. I forget what I had for lunch an hour later. I forget the last time I ate there. We’re getting close to the end here, and as I said, some side effects aren’t all that bad. For example, when one of my readers hits me in the face with a pie, I automatically begin to do the “Soupy Shuffle” — and that’s pretty good. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@ comcast.net.

Don’t limit attempts to seek a better life Let me ask you a simple question, and you can take just a few seconds to think about this and answer it honestly. So here it is, do you think there is something you can do or say in the next day, week, month or year to make your personal life or your professional life worse? Of course the answer is yes, we could all torpedo our lives if we really tried to, couldn’t we? I mean, some of us can do something in the next few seconds or minutes to make things go horribly wrong. Now answer the same question slightly differently, is there something you can do in the next day, week, month, or year to make your personal life or your professional life better? And, of course, the answer once again is yes. So if we know that there are things we can personally do to make all aspects of our lives better, or even just any aspect of our life better, why don’t we? For some, it’s just because they have never known any differently, they allow things to happen and influence their directions and actions instead of setting their own course for success. They attach their sail to someone else’s boat.

Now, believe it or not, there are also some that are of the belief that good things or goodness only happen to other people and that those good things are out of their grasp. Or they subscribe to the old saying that “no good deed goes unpunished.” It’s time we changed that thinking and believe in goodness, good people, and good and worthy goals. Remember the two questions above, we get to choose if we will do something — anything, for that matter, that will make our lives better or worse — and that choice is up to us. It’s coming up on New Year’s Eve, and there is no better time to think of setting and pursuing a good and worthy goal. Now many of us will set the traditional goals or check the

box and proclaim our New Year’s resolutions, including more family time, lose weight, stop smoking, make more money, and a host of other personal goals. I would like to challenge us all a little more this year, think outside the box when it comes to goal setting and New Year’s resolutions. As a matter of fact, let’s forget the box, the box doesn’t exist anymore, let’s just max out or imagination and creativity and come up with goals of goodness, plans for success, and resolve to making the decisions that will make 2015 a wonderful year personally and professionally. Let those two questions I asked in the beginning of this column sink in again for a minute. Is there something, anything at all, that you can do or say that will make your life better or worse? Remember that “you” are the key in the question, “you” get to make the decision, “you” get to set the goals, “you” get to take the actions that will lead to “your” success. Now here’s the extra added benefit, the “buy-one-get-one-free” part of this deal. As you make improvements in your own world, Norton continues on Page 9

Bridge Continued from Page 1

“I think as the city continues to grow on the south side, it’s going to become even more important,” Cotten said. The cost to construct the bridge is estimated at about $4 million, about the same amount the Regional Transportation District paid to build the Interstate 25 light rail overpass to Lincoln Station. Cotten said distinctive, cost-effective architectural ele-

ments could be included in the proposed pedestrian bridge designs. “You could have something really special that doesn’t have to be really expensive,” he said. Cotten described Fentress as “one of the pre-eminent architects in the U.S., if not the world,” and said CEO Curt Fentress attended the city’s kick-off meeting about the design. “We’re fortunate to have them available,” he said. “They’re very excited about this. (Curt) doesn’t come to every project they do. It’s not a big project for him, but it’s about building something special.”

No timeline for school survey Vendor bid ends `due to board decision not to proceed’ By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com A Douglas County School District community survey, repeatedly requested by school board critics for the last couple years, is not planned anytime soon. DCSD issued a request for potential survey vendors in June 2014, but the bid was not awarded “due to board decision not to proceed in the community survey effort,” according to Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System. The online system provides local government agencies a way to notify vendors of bid opportunities. School board president Kevin Larsen said the board is still considering the best way to conduct an effective survey. “We’re still moving ahead but we’re doing it very deliberately,” he said. “There’s no never, but there’s no specific timetable. We are continuing to examine the right way to proceed.” Larsen said the information from a sur-

vey could inform the district’s policies and vision. “So we want to make sure that we get input from every part of the community, including parents, teachers, students and community members,” he said. Douglas County resident Pat Crowley is disappointed. “It shouldn’t take them that long; they’ve been promising it since the spring,” she said. “It’s been promised multiple times. And every other school district seems to be able to get a survey out. “I’ve lived here 22 years and I want my voice heard. I’m disappointed that the community’s voice is not being heard.” The district has not conducted its onceannual survey since 2012, and those results were deemed inconclusive because of a lower-than-desired response rate, according to DCSD. Some parents said then the district was ignoring the results because they didn’t like responses critical of the voucher — or Choice Scholarship — program and the direction the district was headed in its efforts to reform education. During a June 2014 board of education meeting, Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen

said staff would research costs and options for a third-party professional survey and return to the board with recommendations by early fall. “I think it’s a great time to go out and gather feedback,” Fagen said then, noting DCSD was about to release an updated version of its strategic plan. Audience members applauded the news. During a Dec. 16 meeting at Buffalo Ridge Elementary, another parent repeated the survey request to district leaders there to talk about the principal’s resignation. “I’d like to encourage the district to put into place a routine, anonymous survey,” said Kate Calhoon, adding teachers need “a layer of anonymity to speak freely.” “We as parents have been asking for that … and have gotten pretty much dismissed,” she said. “That’s been pretty frustrating.” DCSD assistant superintendent of elementary education Ted Knight said the state’s biannual teacher survey provides valuable information. The Colorado Department of Education will conduct the Teaching, Empowering, Leading and Learning survey in February and March 2015. “We get the data at the end, so it is completely anonymous,” he said.

Crowley said the TELL survey is not detailed enough. “It doesn’t have any questions on it that are specific to upper administration of the school district, or the direction of the school district, or teachers’ opinions of the leadership at the district level,” she said. “It’s only at the individual school level. It’s not a fully comprehensive survey.” Larsen said any future survey would be different from those DCSD did previously, which means the process is more time-consuming. “We’ll be looking for information that can help us either continue what we’re doing, or look at what needs to be modified or communicated better so the public, people in the schools and the community at large can all feel engaged and part of this,” he said. “We’re taking our time and trying to do it really well.” “I think it’s going to be very important to do a very thoughtful process to get a survey conducted that gives us that kind of comprehensive feedback. That’s why (we’re taking) the measured care and true deliberation.”

Broncos Institute offers look inside the huddle Partnership with CSU will be part of Sports Management minor By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com For students hoping to find a career in the sports management industry, a new program offered by Colorado State University may be just the ticket. CSU announced the creation of The Denver Broncos Sports Management Institute Dec. 15 — a program that will allow students to work closely with Colorado’s favorite professional sports franchise and learn from professionals in the field.

The program, partnering the Broncos with the university, will debut this spring by offering three courses to select CSU undergraduate students. The classes will count toward a newly developed minor in sports management at Colorado State, pending faculty council approval. “We are excited and proud to partner with a world-class university like Colorado State to create the Denver Broncos Sports Management Institute,” Broncos President and CEO Joe Ellis said in a news release. “This program will allow us to expand our involvement with higher education in our home state and help mentor local students interested in pursuing a career in sports.” Students will take part in hands-on experiences and opportunities with the Broncos. The program will include internships with the team, guest lectures from manage-

ment and case studies developed in coordination with the team. “As a former student athlete, I have been hoping for something like this for a long time. There’s already a tremendous amount of excitement for the program,” professor Albert Bimper said. “It’s an opportunity for our students to learn from people in a nationally and internationally recognized organization and to be hands on and learn about the business of sports.” Foundations of Sports Management and Inclusive Sport Organizations will be taught by Bimper, the senior associate athletic director and assistant professor of Ethnic Studies. Bimper was an all-Mountain West offensive lineman at CSU before playing one season with the Indianapolis Colts, where he was a backup center for Broncos quar-

terback Peyton Manning. “How do you run an event? What does that look like? What is it like to be responsible for a facility during the course of a season? It’s an opportunity for students to really see things first hand. The internships are a big component of the program,” Bimper said. The institute builds on an existing relationship between the Broncos and Colorado State that has included work on a variety of topics, including turf management, business, marketing and public relations courses and activities as well as numerous CSU student internships with the Broncos. The program will initially be housed in the Department of Management within the College of Business, but the academic Institute continues on Page 24

South Platte Park supervisor Latona honored for interpretive skills By Jennifer Smith

jsmith @coloradocommunitymedia.com Skot Latona, South Platte Park supervisor, realized his passion thanks to a scheduling malfunction. While attending Colorado State University, majoring in park and protected area management, he had a job mowing trails at the school’s Environmental Learning Center. He was all alone there one day when a school bus full of little kids arrived for a field trip. What could he do but give them the best tour he could? “It was really fun,” he said. “It really kind of opened my eyes to it. … I kind of fell in love with the people aspect of it.” After graduation, he saw an ad for a job as the education coordinator with South Suburban Parks and Recreation District. Even he is surprised that it was 17 years ago. “I came here with the intention of getting a little experience,” he said. “I had come from a mountain park, and I didn’t think I’d like being in the city. … But I’m very impressed with South Suburban and how the City of Littleton supports its trails. I’m glad I’m not in a place where I’d have to fight for the resources when it’s not valued.” Staying paid off for him this year with national recognition. He earned the Master Interpretive Manager Award from the National Association for Interpretation, an organization with more than 5,000 members involved in the interpretation of natural and cultural heritage resources. “Skot is a model for interpretation at its best because of the knowledge, passion and creativity that he brings to each program,” reads an NAI statement announcing the award. “He has an endless curiosity and interest in the natural world that manifests in the hours of his free time spent learning. While his deep awareness and knowledge is commendable, it is Skot’s creativity and passion that set him apart as a master interpreter.” Being an interpreter is more than just putting on a pioneer costume and pretending to be from days gone by. “It’s about helping people find the meaning and stories our cultural sites,” said Latona. “Pretty much every program we do here is to help people discover something. Because once you understand something, hopefully you can care for it.” A big part of Latona’s job as supervisor is to help certify newbies in his field. He’s seen people who visited the park as kids come back as volunteers, seasonal workers and even junior rangers. “It is inspiring for me to work with all the new students and to see the energy and passion they bring to the field,” he said.

South Platte Park supervisor Skot Latona earned the National Association for Interpretation’s Master Interpretive Manager Award for his passion and creativity, says the NAI. Photo by Jennifer Smith “And to see the excitement when people learn something new. When they’re learning something because they want to, they learn something about themselves.” His role as a mentor is part of what earned him the NAI award. “As a supervisor and mentor, his door was always open,” reads the statement. “He taught by example … and by providing numerous opportunities for professional development. Skot is a passionate, creative interpreter and a compassionate, knowledgeable mentor.” A lot has changed in the 17 years Latona has been with the district. The 800-acre South Platte Park, once considered to be sort of out in the boonies, is now completely surrounded by development, including Aspen Grove shopping center and apartments. Each change brings challenges, he said. “The closer and the more dense it is, the less we get our generalists. It’s harder for animals that have specialty habitats,” he said, like eagles, songbirds, weasels and deer. The South Platte River project that’s under way is meant to mitigate some of the effects of modern life on the park, but Latona wishes more of the growing number of people who use the Mary Carter Greenway Trail adjacent to the park would take advantage of the interpretive services. “I’m pretty happy with what is happening here,” he said. “Littleton continues to value its parks and open space and the river. It feels pretty important to have a park you care for.”

Equine activity to continue at park Group signs contract to buy 148-acre horse venue south of Parker By Chris Michlewicz

(required seminars prior to start-up consulting)

The Colorado Horse Park announced that a group has signed a contract to acquire the venue and will continue equestrian operations into the future. A partnership led by Mark and Katherine Bellissimo has agreed in principle to buy the 148-acre horse park for an undisclosed amount, according to a statement released Dec. 19. When it was put up for sale in August, Colorado Horse Park founder Helen Krieble said she was concerned that a developer would scrape the venue and build more homes. She expressed hope that the buyer would build on the horse park’s strong foundation and continue its legacy as a top-tier equestrian center. It appears her wish has come true. Mark Bellissimo, whose partnership is called Colorado Equestrian Partners, was quoted in a news release saying his group is “honored to continue Helen’s legacy.” A prepared statement from Krieble didn’t mask her enthusiasm. “The contract includes the purchase of an additional 47 acres that abuts the horse park,” she said. “I believe this will ensure CHP has the ability to operate effectively and preserves the area from future residential development.” The Colorado Horse Park — originally known as High Prairie Farms — opened in 1992 in the back of The Pinery, a

The venue hosts international competitions and is among the most popular with riders. It has 11 competition arenas, 100 boarding stalls, an RV park, two covered arenas and 300 permanent stalls. “I am thrilled that Mark and his partners have contracted to acquire the Horse Park,” Krieble said. “It has been my passion for 23 years, and I am confident that it will be in good hands.”

Fo u r p a i n t e r s f i l l g a l l e r y Exhibition coincides with comedy at Littleton venue By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Four seasoned area painters will collaborate to fill the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center with an exhibit called “The Art of Color” from Jan 6 through Feb. 10. The public is invited to a reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 16 in the downtown Littleton gallery. The show coincides with the comedy “The Clean House” by Sarah Ruhl, which will be playing upstairs in the theater. It’s about a colorful Brazilian maid, who would rather be a comic. The painters involved are Delores Peterson, Mary (Molly) Squibb, Maryann Leake and Saundra Lane Galloway. Peterson, who lives in Roxborough, has been a Colorado resident since 1959 and has been an active oil painter for more than 45 years, “creating in the realist tradition.” She works outdoors, gathering material in the form of oil and watercolor sketches from many areas in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Great Britain. She also takes photographs to capture details — which may or may not be included in the final painting, when it is finished later in her studio. “Inspired by workshops taught by contemporary impressionists, she is able to work en plein air, while ignoring onlookers and weather conditions.” Currently, she is concentrating on Southwestern subject matter and Western mountain landscapes, with occasional wildlife for variety. Squibb writes that she “looks for beauty in unusual places. That means being curious about `the underside of life.’ Yes, I paint traditional landscape, but I also love a tangle of leaves on a trail or colors in old oil cans by a shed. … “Scouting for painting ideas, I am often inspired by what is old and used, but wears

Thrillist.com, the Internet commentator on all things food-related, has chosen RiNo, Denver’s Riverfront North neighborhood, as one of the 18 Best Food Neighborhoods in America. While RiNo as a destination dining ‘hood is fairly new and continually growing, its foodie scene lacks historical reference to call upon, unlike other neighborhoods in New Orleans, Boston, Charleston, Chicago and San Francisco, which are also on the list. Here’s what Thrillist said about RiNo, “Once upon a time, this was a neighborhood Denverites would go to if they wanted to have a nice night out ... and then get mugged afterwards. Now? It’s practically swarming with hot restaurants and breweries. Part of that is due to The Source, an enormous 20,000-squarefoot artisan food market that houses one of Denver’s best restaurants (Acorn), coffee roasters (Boxcar), breweries (Crooked Stave) and plenty more. “Four other exemplary craft breweries have taprooms in the neighborhood as well, including the Utah-transplant Epic Brewing, which knows (its) way around a sour. For food, Work & Class serves up shared plates of delicious Latin/American food, Cart-Driver is the tiny, high-quality pizza joint every neighborhood deserves, and Los Chingones is the Mexican food outpost of one of Denver’s finest restaurateurs. And for something you likely won’t find in any other city, Infinite Monkey Theorem cans (its) own wine and has an expansive space to drink it in.” See the other 17 picks at www.thrillist.com/ eat/nation/18-best-food-neighborhoods-inamerica-flushing-west-loop-the-mission.

She worked in journalism and marketing communication until 2005, when she turned her attention fully to art. She has studied at the Art Students Leagues in New York and Denver, including extensive studies with master artist and teacher Kevin Weckbach. Leake, also a Roxborough resident, writes that she is “still painting Koi. I have been obsessing about them ever since I lived in California. … Descanso Gardens in La Canada has a beautiful tea house where the koi reside under the bridge and trees far above shade them. “I used to be a florist.” Still lifes always contain flowers.

IF YOU GO “The Art of Color” will be in the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main Street in downtown Littleton, from Jan. 6 to Feb. 10. A reception is planned from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 16. Gallery hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and during performances of “The Clean House.” 303-794-2787, townhallartscenter.org. pressionism, owned an art exhibit company, is gallery manager for the Roxborough Arts Gallery, illustrated children’s books, designed sets for Valor Christian High School and assisted with art exhibits for her church — and been active in the Colorado Watercolor Society. Galloway is exhibiting mixed media pieces that are the result “of many years of experimentation. … Often, I will have several media in one painting: acrylic, paper, oil and sometimes found objects or paper casts made from my own molds. `Aspen Lights and Shadows’ was my breakout piece; meaning the first of its kind, with the abstract background and paper stream moving through and the subject matter painted a little more realistically ….” She continues that she has loved trees since childhood and walked in many forests “and actually stood and looked for long minutes trying to understand just what they were about. … I admire their strength and stamina through harsh winters and weather events ….”

Thrillist also lauded seven old-school steakhouses in Colorado. I still get misty-eyed over Emil-Lene’s Sirloin House in Aurora, which closed last spring, but this is an admirable list of steakhouses that get less mention than Elway’s, Mortons, Del Frisco’s, Shanahan’s, et al: 1. The Broker Restaurant, 821 17th St. (Remember the shrimp bowl?) 2. Mickey’s Top Sirloin, 6950 Broadway 3. The Buckhorn Exchange, 1000 Osage St., where what you’re eating glares down at you in its taxidermy form. 4. The Summit Steakhouse, 2700 S. Havana St., Aurora. We used to live within walking distance of this place where American Furniture Warehouse honcho Jake Jabs often bellied up and belted out songs at the piano bar. 5. Columbine Steak House & Lounge, 300 Federal Blvd. 6. Charco Broiler, 1716 E. Mulberry St., Fort Collins. 7. Bastien’s Restaurant, 3503 E. Colfax Ave., home of the sugar steak.

Panzano dish honored

With all the dinners and dining going on at New York City’s revered James Beard House this year, Panzano Chef Elise Wiggins’ braised lamb croquette was one of the 15 favorite dishes of the year, as noted on The Beard House official blog. Wiggins, along with other chick chefs, whipped up the winning dish during the Denver Women Chefs Rules Beard House dinner in September. And although the fave dish is not currently on the Panzano menu, the similar crochetta di cinghiale is. The crochetta is a wild boar croquette over marbled potatoes, carrots, beets, turnips and capers sauteed with salsa verde and demi glaze.

Church women stage benefit fashion show Jan. 16 event will be held at Littleton venue By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “Church Women United is a 72-yearold movement of Christian women working toward peace and justice in the world, promoting racial equality and an end to trafficking,” according to local activist Pat Kenning. For 25 of those years, the local Southeast Suburban Unit has held a benefit fashion show in support of two designated charities. In the 1960s, Kenning writes, “the South Suburban Unit helped start Inter-Faith Task Force, now Inter-Faith Community Services. The Jeffco Unit started the Jeffco Action Center and the Aurora Unit started Aurora Interfaith Services — all are expanded and flourishing today.” The 2014 recipients will be the Denver Women’s Correctional Facility ministry and Warren Village, a longtime ministry of Warren Avenue Methodist Church, Denver. It helps families by providing housing, counseling, childcare, clothing and more. Each will receive $200. On Jan. 16, the CWU will hold its Silver Anniversary Fashion Show at Littleton United Methodist Church, 5894 S. Datura St., Littleton, with registration beginning at 11:30 a.m.

Members served lunch to guests at the 2014 Church Women United Fashion Show.

Intellectual property is subject of classes Expert offers three free sessions at Curtis center By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “Who owns it? How do I show that I created it? What if someone takes credit for my work? What if someone does something

that looks like/sounds like my work?” Artists of all genres are invited to three free classes at Curtis Arts and Humanities Center addressing intellectual property issues. They will be taught by Pam Roth O’Mara, a Centennial resident with multiple skills in legal matters, writing, theater and more. Class times vary, but they will all be held at the Curtis Arts and Humanities Center, 2349 E. Orchard Rd., Greenwood Village.

• On Jan. 6 at 5:30 p.m., O’Mara will discuss “Intellectual Property Basics for Artists, Authors, Designers, Musicians, Inventors, Innovators, Photographers and Arts Management.” This session will introduce a range of intellectual property, or IP, protection methods, including copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret. • On Jan. 15 at 3:30 p.m., the class will cover “Managing the Intellectual Assets in Your Life: Intellectual Property Due Diligence for Estate Planning and Representation, Investing and Personal Property Management.” Untapped intellectual assets and undervalued intellectual property are detrimental to personal estates, small businesses and corporations. This session guides you through issues to consider in IP audits. • On Feb. 6 at 3:30 p.m., the class topic will be “What the Contract really says: Know What You’re Getting Into.” Have you ever signed a contract to find you’ve unintentionally agreed to something? Do you understand everything you see? “Right brain/left brain — I can go back and forth,” O’Mara said. Her bio lists numerous skills: author, artist, coach, director, instructor, performer, producer, publicist, publisher. She attended law school at night while working as a technical writer in the computer industry, gaining her knowledge about intellectual-property law. But, she did not choose to go into practice, since she saw another path ahead that included arts, which were part of her life. She recalls her first Broadway show, a birthday celebration, in 1961. She started a kids’ theater when 15 or 16 and learned improv skills when interning at a regional theater on Long Island. She lived in New England for 30 years

Cheers to a happy

new year!

and moved to Colorado almost eight years ago with her brother, sister-in-law and father. And she married at that point as well. She prepared 20-minute improv routines and wants to use the skill to do storytelling. She has performed at Bovine Theater and Denver Puppet Theater. O’Mara has taught improv skills at Arapahoe Community College and will have a class starting at ACC in February O’Mara for six weeks. She is presently teaching computer technology in the paralegal program and will be teaching about intellectual properties in fall 2015. In summer, she has worked and volunteered at South Platte Park, where she introduced her “Thumb Print Plays” to kids and adults. One writes observations from a nature walk, for example, in a spiral from the outside in, forming a thumbprintshaped poem/play. She started writing these for herself first and has published a little book of clever observations, called “Nature Nurture.” Kids enjoy writing these and acting them out. Another project in the works is a book about the South Platte River flood of 1965, which caused great damage — and was the starter for developing the wonderful South Platte Park. She will devote profits to the park, hopeful that children who might not otherwise have the chance can come to visit … For the year ahead, it will be Greenwood Village classes, ACC classes, completion of the book and time with her husband and a photogenic miniature long-haired dachshund.

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com With sell-out audiences for its past three concerts, the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra heads into 2015 with “CJRO Favorites,” scheduled for Jan. 23. (This is a change in title from a previously announced Woody Herman one.) At the close of the holiday concert, artistic director Steve Weist announced that the next offering would consist of favorite arrangements chosen by members of the band. In a Dec. 13 note, director Art Bouton, a Lone Tree resident who founded the popular band two years ago, wrote that the CJRO would “dig deep into the word `repertory’ for its next concert.” He continued to say that the concert “will feature works from the libraries of Count Basie, Maynard Ferguson, Buddy Rich and Thad Jones. Featured tunes will include `Stompin’ at the Savoy,’ `Besame Mucho’ and `Blues in Hoss’ Flat,’ among many other exciting classics.” The concert will conclude with the Bill Reddie arrangement of “West Side Story,” written to close each concert of the Buddy Rich big band. Bouton describes it as “seldom heard, crowd-pleasing, but very chal-

lenging work, which can only be performed by the best of the best,” meaning the talented Colorado musicians who make up the CJRO. Other numbers on a list from Lone Tree Arts Center include: “Don’t Get Sassy” by Thad Jones; “Shiny Stockings,” composed by Frank Foster, adapted for Ella Fitzgerald; “Greasy Sack Blues” composed by Don Rader … Vocalist Heidi Schmidt will perform with the band. In this third season, with the addition of Grammy-nominated jazz artist and educator Weist to the band as artistic director, Bouton has formed Colorado Jazz Inc., a nonprofit corporation to help bring CJRO to national prominence. (Weist has joined the faculty at the University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music, where Bouton and several other orchestra members teach.) “Arts Center director Lisa Rigsby Peterson took a chance on the idea of a resident big band and we are forever grateful for her courage and vision,” Bouton said. “This band has been a dream come true for me.”

Historic valley subject of photographer’s talk Freelance nature and travel photographer Bob Dean will speak to the Englewood Camera Club at 7 p.m. on Jan. 13, exploring the possibilities of photography in Colorado’s historic San Luis Valley.

Brewing up community

Castle Rock beer, wine competition brings together amateurs By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com The bottles line the table, each one from a brewer working in a home or garage or basement. Divided by color and style, the 25 beers and five wines at the 2014 Castle Rock Homebrew Competition were crafted by about 15 amateur brewers. There’s a prize for the winner, a gold medal. But the real reward is being able to share their work with others. “Most homebrew competitions are judged by certified judges. So they take notes on aroma, flavor, and appearance, and judge it according to style,” said Eric Seufert, owner of Castle Rock Homebrew Supply, where the competition was held Dec.19. “They’re actually quite boring events. It’s usually just a bunch of people standing around taking notes. This is a more social, fun event that probably better suits the average brewer or wine maker. It’s fun.” Seufert opened Castle Rock Homebrew Supply in January 2013. This is the second year he is hosting the Christmas competition — something he hopes will bring together the local homebrew community and give brewers a chance to share and compare with other

Eric Seufert, owner of Castle Rock Homebrew and Supply, talks to patrons during the Castle Rock Homebrew Competition Dec.19 at his store located at 1643 Park Street. Photos by Mike DiFerdinando amateurs and enthusiasts. “Most of these beers here and the wine are from people who have started in the last two years since we’ve opened. People get really good at it quick,” said Seufert.”I probably know half of the people’s names in here. There’s actually a pretty big homebrew community in Castle Rock.” He said most people can learn to brew their own beer in a few hours. Beers take around four weeks to make if you’re bottling them. Wine is a little longer, four to six weeks, and according to Seufert, some of them could benefit from a year sitting around.

“The crowd here, we like to make everything. We routinely offer brewing, wine and cheese-making beginner classes. We do advanced brewing classes, and once a year during the grape harvest we do some wine-making,” Seufert said. The beginner beer-making class costs $30. “Between your ingredients and your equipment you can usually get out of here for about $200 for wine or beer, to make five or six gallons,” Seufert said. Todd Hiltz began brewing a year ago when his son bought him a homebrew kit for Christmas. “Since then, I’ve just went kind of crazy

It’s you and the simple ingredients, you know — your water, your hops, your malts. It’s fun,” Hiltz said. “It’s a good distraction from the normal week and business you’ve got going on.”

The new concept album includes 11 original songs Rosanne Cash will perform at 7:30 p.m. inspired by recent trips to the Jan. 9 at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes south from her New York City Peak Ave., Parker. Tickets: $60/$65, home, accompanied by Levparkeronline.org, 303-805-6800. enthal, who is her husband. She set out to trace her heritage. She visited Arkansas, where her father, Johnny Cash, was raised; Texas, home of her mother, Vivian Liberto; and Virginia, where her stepmother, June Carter, was raised. The album is a regional portrait, according to her responses in a Smithsonian magazine story about her, when she received one of Smithsonian’s Third Annual American Ingenuity Awards for Performing Arts. Each song depicts a person or town and tells a story. Collectively, they offer a portrait of a region, she said. “The River and The Thread” placed first on the Americana Top 100 Albums of the Year chart, compiled by the American Music Association. Released in January 2014, it received praise from Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Newsweek and People, and was on the Best of 2014 lists of numerous critics. Cash was born in Memphis, Tenn., raised in Southern California and has resided in New York City for many years. She has published four books, including a memoir, published essays and fiction in periodicals, and recorded 15 albums.

Wiggins’ winning way: “The dish was all about balance: the rustic comfort of braised lamb shank tucked within in a refined tuile, the crunchy package collapsing around the tender slow-cooked meat.” Wiggins told Thrillist all credit goes to a local producer: `The lamb that I love to use is from Triple M Bar Ranch (just east of Pueblo). The farmers and lamb ranchers work together so there’s no food waste. When all the best melons are picked, they bring in the lambs to eat up whatever is left over. Just like the old saying, you are what you eat, and that diet makes these lambs the most delicious in the world.” See the rest of the Beard House picks at www.jamesbeard. org/blog/our-favorite-dishes-2014.

Web readers tout DIA

Although the airport may not be anyone’s favorite place to be this week, Premier Traveler readers have dubbed Denver International Airport the best airport in North America. “This honor could be attributed to a number of factors, from the plethora of stimulating art exhibitions to the ecofriendly solar energy panels, and from the friendly volunteer ambassadors to the cleanliness in every corner of the hub and the friendliness throughout,” according to www.premiertravelerusa.com. “Regardless, with more than 52 million people traveling through DIA each year, the airport is definitely doing something right.”

CBS4’s Castro headed to NYC

CBS4 posted a note about reporter Valerie Castro leaving Denver for the bright lights of The Big Apple on the station’s Facebook page on Dec. 18. Here’s what it said: “Hard to believe, but Valerie Castro came to us as an intern nine years ago. Next week, she’s off to CBS New York. To send her off right on this # ThrowbackThursday, we compiled a few bits from her resume reel that got her started back in 2005. Good luck, Val!”

Coach joins 500-win club Highlands Ranch’s Bob Caton joins select group of coaches to accomplish the feat By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Highlands Ranch’s boys basketball coach Bob Caton is now rubbing elbows with a pretty distinguished group. Caton reached the career 500 win milestone Dec. 19 when the Falcons defeated Pine Creek, 54-45, at the Cherry Creek Holiday Classic. He improved his record to 501-224 following Highlands Ranch’s 62-53 triumph over Fountain Fort Carson Dec. 20. Caton joins such notable coaches as Dan McKierman (Palmer/Doherty), Kelly Meek (Steamboat Springs), Ron Vlasin (Arapahoe) and current Resurrection Christian coach Bruce Dick as those who have won over 500 career games. The all-time victory leader is former Denver Christian coach Dick Katte (876). Rudy Carey of Denver East and Ken Shaw of Regis Jesuit have surpassed 600 wins. “It feels real good,” said Caton. “I wasn’t trying to keep track of it. Since it has happened, it feels like a real good accomplishment. I’ve had a lot of good kids from a lot of good families. Meeting the people and the players is a lot of fun.” Caton, 65, is a former Denver West and Colorado State University player who been coaching for over 35 years at six different schools. He started coaching in 1975 at Manual and was the mentor at Denver West, George Washington, Aurora Central and is starting his eighth season at Highlands Ranch. He also spent part of a season at Lincoln. Caton has guided five different schools into the Elite 8 of the state tournament 11 times. He has won at least 100 games at Highlands Ranch, Aurora Central, George Washington and Denver West and coached Central and GW to state runner-up finishes. “When you think about it, there’s not really one game here or one game there,

Highlands Ranch boys basketball coach Bob Caton reached the career 500-win milestone Dec. 19 when the Falcons defeated Pine Creek. File photo it’s more about the relationships with the kids,” said Caton. “There have been a whole bunch of games that have been pretty good games and some heart breaks too. It’s mostly about the relationships. “Every year it seems like there’s a game of the year. There’s a (Mountain) Vista game in triple overtime or a Chatfield game in double overtime or a game against Regis. Or you go back to Aurora Central and a game against Cherry Creek. At GW, the game against East. So there’s always been a game and not always because it’s a game that decides a championship but sometimes it’s just a game where the kids really played

well.” This season’s Highlands Ranch team, minus last year’s leading scorers Zach Braxton and Evan Motlong who have graduated, is 4-4 but improving. “We’ve just had to make some adjustments,” said Caton who is 153-53 at Highlands Ranch. “We have some seniors who are playing a bigger role you might say with the team with the absence of Zack of course. They are responding real well and starting to get an identity. We’re going to be all right. “Over the years, the kids will always been the same. The biggest thing I see now about

high school basketball is the expectations from the parents are a little different. That transfers sometimes over to the kids.” Highlands Ranch will celebrate Caton reaching 500 wins when the Falcons host Aurora Central in a Jan. 13 game. Lorenzo Gonzalez teamed with Caton to form an outstanding guard duo at Denver West in the mid-1960s and he has been an assistant coach on Caton’s Aurora Central and Highlands Ranch staffs for the past 10 seasons. “I don’t think there is any better coach than coach Caton,” said Gonzalez, who lives in Castle Pines. “The reason I say that is because with maybe the exception of George Washington, he has taken programs that hadn’t had much success and made them successful. His biggest strength is Xs and Os and being able to take kids who haven’t had success and make them successful.” Aurora Central was 0-23 before Caton began his four-season stay as the Trojans’ coach. Aurora Central went 75-3 in Caton’s final three seasons before he took over at Highlands Ranch. “He adjusts to the caliber of player he has and finds a formula of making them successful,” said Gonzalez. “I don’t know if it’s patience or his will. He’s a very competitive person. You wouldn’t think that if you saw him any other place except on the basketball court. He gets a lot of his kids. As a person, he’s a good family man with three wonderful adult children. He’s a grandfather with seven grand children.” Caton’s son Robby played for his Dad at George Washington and is now an assistant on the Highlands Ranch coaching staff. “I know we are celebrating his 500th victory, but to him it hasn’t been about wins,” said Robby. “Instead it’s been about teaching his players to love to play the game of basketball and helping them reach their highest potential.” Zeke Ocansey was a starter on Caton’s 2000-01 state runner-up team at George Washington. “He was one of the best coaches I had,” confessed Ocansey. “He’s a player’s coach. I was a transfer from Arvada and he took me Caton continues on Page 23

Swimmer keeps focus on ability Girl born without lower legs is devoted to sport By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com It doesn’t matter to Brickelle Bro that competitors and people sometimes gawk. She has never known anything different. Bro was born with legs that end just below her knee joints, but that hasn’t stopped the 17-yearold Rock Canyon High School senior from becoming an excellent swimmer. “I was born without both of my feet below my knees,” she explained. “Nobody really knows why. It just kind of happened. “Growing up, it was really the only thing I’ve ever known, so I really haven’t had to adjust to losing them. It definitely made me learn how to do things differently. Growing up, my thing has always been I’m not any different. I’m just the same. I just don’t have any feet.” Bro is a varsity swimmer for Rock Canyon and has become one of Team USA’s most promising Paralympic prospects. She is used to getting stares before high school swim meets. “I get that a lot, at a lot of different places, not just swim meets,” said Bro. “I’ve always tried to live my life proving to others that this is not who I am. This is a part of me, but I am not my disability.”

Bro remembers wanting to stay in the bathtub as a youngster rather than go to the park. “I’ve been swimming for a really long time,” said Bro. “My mom put me in lessons with my siblings and I just loved it. We kept going to a summer team, to a club team, a summer team and now high school. But even before that I preferred swimming in the bathtub to going to the park.” Bro’s mother, Heather, found that swimming and her daughter were a good match. “She does her very best at whatever she is doing or attempting,” boasted Heather. “It’s turned into a great strength for her. We kind of stuck her in the bathtub and she had fun instead of going to the park and trying to maneuver around people and the stares. The stares of people staring at her and not the stairs at the park. “We wanted to put her into something that gave her selfesteem and made her feel good about herself that she could do and be good at. We found swimming was something that she really loved and felt comfortable doing.”

Hard work noted

Rock Canyon swimming coach Nicole Vanderpool says Bro’s smile, work ethic and positive attitude are contagious. “She’s amazing,” said Vanderpool. “She works harder than anybody. She always has a smile on her face. Everybody loves her.

“She’s just one of our swimmers. She’s an A league swimmer, a true varsity swimmer. She’s that fast. She swims in all of our meets. Some of the girls are shocked when they see she doesn’t have legs. She’s that fast. She is good at the butterfly, which is difficult without legs.” Bro was a member of the United States paralympic team for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, and was fifth in the 400-meter freestyle. She won a 100-meter butterfly bronze medal and a 400-meter 34 PT freestyle multi-class relay gold for Team USA in August at the Pan Pacific Para Championships in Pasadena, Calif. At the Can Am Para Swimming Championships Dec. 5-7 in Edmonton, Alberta, Bro came back with three gold medals and two silvers. She also won 50-yard butterfly, which was not a medal event. She was first in the 400-meter freestyle (5:09.75), the 100 butterfly (1:21.77) and the 200 IM (3:07.26). She competes in class S8 and was second in the 50 and 100 freestyle events. “I’ve been coaching her since she was 10,” said Will Amos of the Castle Rock Swim Team. “She definitely has some strong talent, but what makes her so good is her commitment. She works really hard. She is always at practice. She is very committed to success Swimmer continues on Page 24

in and made me feel comfortable as a player. He helped me focus on some of the things that are very important in basketball. “He was very specific on the way he wanted things ran. He wanted us to play the way he wanted us to play, but he also

catered the offense and opened up the offense that we could be individuals on our own. We had a lot of talent, but he clearly explained all our roles. He had his way of running the offense, but it was definitely catered to all of our strengths.” Caton spends time helping players improve individually. “I wasn’t shooting too well from the freethrow line,” recalled Ocansey. “I was getting to the line but not putting it in. I was shooting 50 percent. He spent 30 minutes

with me shooting free throws and from that point on the rest of my career, I shot 80 percent because of the things he taught me. “I’m proud of coach Caton. I wish he could have won his 500th game at George Washington, but he’s my coach for life. I’ve gone out to check him out at Highlands Ranch.” Stephen Franklin, a two-time All-State player, was part of Aurora Central’s threeseason surge. “For me he’s an offensive genius,” said

Franklin. “He meshed all our talent. As a coach, he puts the time in if you ask him. During seventh period, we would always work on my shot. He makes basketball simple. “As a man, my mom was working two or three jobs. When my mom wasn’t home I wouldn’t eat. At that time, I didn’t know how to cook. Coach Caton took me home to live for a couple days. He took an inter-city kid and trusted me. He’s a great man.”

in the sport. “She is working hard to make the team for the IPC Swimming World Championship in Glasgow, Scotland, in July. That’s the next big event and then Rio (2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro). Bro is an American record-holder. She established two new records at the Nov. 7 CMS Short Course Open in Colorado Springs. She broke the 1,650-yard mark with a time of 20:48.86 and the 1,000-yard standard (split in the 1,650) with a clocking of 12:31.91. Bro scoffs at the idea that swimming is tougher because of her handicap. Others disagree. “Swimming takes your whole body, you are kicking, you are horizontal and you are kicking your arms and legs,” said Heather. “She’s doing the whole length of the pool and racing without using her legs. “She’s really got to count on her upper-body strength and core to push herself through the water, whereas a lot of swimmers can kick and push themselves through the water with their legs and forceful kicks.” Tree Arts Center.

January 1, 2015 Strong at the core Vanderpool and Amos agree. “Her core has to be incredibly strong,” added Vanderpool. “Her middle section is so strong. It’s just natural for her. She doesn’t know anything else.” Amos claims the 115-pound Bro has met the challenge to become a first-class swimmer. “It was a challenge to work with her as she figured out how to develop the power,” said Amos. “She is very coachable in the water and she never had any trouble being safe in the water and being able to move in the water. It’s been bit of a process between me and her to figure out to make up for a missing balance and power that comes from not having any legs. “She is very strong in the upper body and has pretty good awareness and makes the adjustments in her body position to compensate for not having legs. She really doesn’t think too much about it other than the platform considerations.” Bro is just thinking about getting better. “Since London I’ve been training and competing in more Paralympic meets,” she said. “I’m no good in the breaststroke whatsoever. My favorite event is probably the 400-meter freestyle or the 100 butterfly. I’m not a sprinter. I just can’t dash and go. I need time to build it up.”
