C-470 brew crew gets crafty together Eight businesses to debut co-created beer in December
DCSD continues on Page 25
Mayor honored for transit work
By Jane Reuter jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Eight south metro breweries will release a winter beer they co-created on Dec. 5. Beer lovers who sample the weizenbock at each of the businesses will earn a commemorative glass. “The point is to get people out and visit the local breweries; it’s not specifically to try the beer,” said Carrie Knose, co-owner of Highlands Ranch’s Living the Dream. “We’re all pretty new down here, and we wanted to do a community-building event to get everyone together and brew beer. “We’re (brewers) a very friendly community; ours is one of those business communities where we’re all actually rooting for each other. And this is another way to get together and be supportive in the craft beer community.” The C470 Collaboration, as the group has dubbed itself, includes Blue Spruce, CB & Potts, Grist, Living the Dream, Lone Tree, 38 State, Three Freaks and Rock Bottom breweries. Brewers from all eight businesses came up with the idea and met to create a common recipe. Laws regulating the distribution of alcohol require each business to brew its own batch of the mutually agreed-upon beer. But Blue Spruce owner Rick Kane thinks that will make the experience more interesting for consumers. “Every brewery could be a little different depending on how they brew,” said the Centennial brew pub owner. “There’ll probably be little nuances. You’ll taste just a subtle difference between some breweries because we all have different water sources and that does change the profile a little bit. And then obvi-
The Douglas County School District made a successful bid to elevate its state performance rating. For the first time since the 2009-10 academic year, DCSD ranks as “Accredited with Distinction” — the highest of the Colorado Department of Education’s five tiers. DCSD was among several districts that requested the state reconsider its ranking. By excluding the performance of the district’s highest-risk students and factoring in improved ACT scores and graduation rates, the CDE agreed Douglas County merited its top rating. District leaders are delighted. Those critical of its education reforms say the ranking is misleading. “Certainly to move up into that top echelon speaks wonderful volumes about our teachers, our district and our students,” school board president Kevin Larsen said. “I and the rest of the board have been confident all along this time would come, and here we are. It means we’re doing good things for kids. So let’s celebrate it, but keep pushing all of our schools to help our kids learn at an even higher level.” Strong Schools Coalition president Laura Mutton noted that while the district’s ACT composite score increased slightly from 2013 to 2014 — from 21.8 to 22.1 — scores on the last Transitional Colorado Assessment Program were flat.

Beer lovers who drink a weizenbock at each of the eight Highlands Ranch breweries that collaborated on its creation will receive this commemorative glass. The beer is set for a Dec. 5 release. Courtesy photo ously how we brew (is different).” A weizenbock is a strong version of an unfiltered hefeweizen, fermented with a yeast that gives the brew a slightly spicy flavor. Lone Tree head brewer Jason Wiedmaier said their version is ready to go. “I’m very pleased with how it turned out, and I’m really looking forward to us tapping them all at once,” he said. “Each brewery gets to kind of put their own twist on it, so you get a little bit of play. I’m curious to see what each brewery’s brew house imparts to the beer.” Each brewery will provide customers with a beer map of the eight businesses. Once all eight sites are stamped, the customer can
exchange the map for the commemorative glass. The brewers ordered 300 glasses, but Knose doesn’t know how long the beer will last. If the beer runs out before the glasses, however, Knose said breweries will still honor beer tourists with a stamp. December may not be the last time the brewers collaborate. “We’ve talked loosely about doing one during the summer also,” Kane said. “We all get along well. We help each other out with ingredients. We see our customers at Grist and Living the Dream and vice versa. I think people just enjoy bouncing between all of us. It’s bringing our communities closer together.”
Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning is “hopelessly positive” in his quest to find ways to fund transportation in Colorado, according to Colorado Department of Transportation executive director Don Hunt. That optimism and determination are among the traits that put Gunning on a Denver stage at the EXDO Event Center Nov. 14, where he received the Transit Alliance’s Carla Madison Award for Outstanding Leadership by an Individual. He was honored for his work with MPACT 64, a group created in 2013 to Gunning study statewide transit solutions. “I was very surprised,” Gunning said. “When I looked at my partners that were also nominated, I really didn’t think I had any chance of winning.” The other two nominees for outstanding individual leadership included Tom Clark, CEO of the Metro Denver Economic Gunning continues on Page 25

November 20, 2014
When thanks is the reward of giving A few hundred men and women form a thin, bedraggled line that follows the sidewalk from the Denver City and County Building along the edge of Civic Center Park. They slowly shift their way forward — for some it will take two to three hours — to a 23-table buffet nearly the length of a city block, laden with all the trimmings of Thanksgiving dinner. Mikayla Sullivan, 17, stands near the end, her small frame draped in a black, wool coat, a gray Broncos cap sitting backwards on her strawberry-blonde hair. She doesn’t mind the wait. She’s thankful for the food. “We can eat,” Mikayla says. She and her boyfriend are living for the moment in a pay-by-the-day motel. She smiles, holding an unlit cigarette between her fingers. She’s also thankful for her 11- and 12-year old sisters back home in Indianapolis. But when she mentions them, she struggles to keep tears from filling her green eyes. “This is the first Thanksgiving that …” Her voice trails off. For six hours on this second Saturday in November, hundreds of men, women and children dine at tables covered in golden plastic tablecloths decorated with vases of fall flowers. They spread across a closed-off Bannock Street in front of the city’s government building. David Clifton Ministries in Lakewood, a nonprofit that works with the homeless and needy, has served this dinner for 19 years with the help of an army of volunteers. They are young and old. They ladle food onto plates and clean up and carry trays to tables for those who can’t on their own. They help wherever they can. “Water,” a young woman with a nametag that reads “Savannah” calls out
as she walks along the line with a tray of cups. “Water.” JoAnn Trudell, 63, reaches for one. “Thank you for taking care of us,” she says with a smile. JoAnn, shoulder-length white hair topped by a beanie of the same color, is here with her friend, Joyce Ann Schneider, 67. They pull an empty purple suitcase they hope to fill with food to take home. “We’re not homeless, but we’re disabled,” JoAnn says. “We don’t make enough to make a Thanksgiving meal, to have Thanksgiving treats and special things — and this is just wonderful. It makes us so happy, like we’re more a part of the human race.” Most of the diners are homeless. Some have roofs over their heads, living in subsidized housing or with family and friends, but — like JoAnn — say they are grateful for a meal they cannot afford. Hunger. An anguish most of us don’t feel. But numbers prove it is very real: Nearly one in seven Coloradans faced times in 2013 when they didn’t have enough money to buy food for their families or themselves. More than one in five households with children faced financial challenges to put food on the table. More than one in four working families do not have enough money to meet their basic needs.
That’s according to Hunger Free Colorado, the state’s leading anti-hunger organization. And consider this: The Metro Denver Homeless Initiative reported 5,812 homeless men, women and children as of January in the seven-county metro Denver area. And of the 2,230 men, women and children who were at-risk for homelessness, nearly two-thirds were living in households with children. At the end of the buffet line, at an area of tables heavy with piles of jackets and shirts and pants, Heather Mondy, 38, searches for clothes for her three daughters. “Mom, I like this one,” a daughter shouts, trying on a beige, wool coat. Heather lugs a second trash bag filled with clothes to the grass where her family rests. She and her children traveled from Golden, where she lives in Section 8 federally subsidized housing, “to hang out with people who are not going to be judgmental or mean…” They enjoyed the dinner, but the clothing was a true blessing, she says. “I’m definitely going to be able to dress them warm… and cute this year.” A petite woman with sparkly sunglasses and long auburn hair, she is thankful for the day. “I’m blessed we can still come together peacefully,” Heather says, “and we still have heart for helping the ones who need our help.” At one of the tables, a 63-year-old woman leans back, eyes closed, swaying to the jazzy music from the nearby band. Her late husband was a veteran, she says. A few nights a week, she stays with her son in his subsidized apartment. She spends the other nights at St. Francis Center, a shelter for homeless men and women.
“Right now,” she says, “I’m looking for a permanent home.” She stood in line for three hours to partake of the banquet. The turkey. The stuffing. The green beans and mashed potatoes and gravy. “I’m going to take some home for later tonight,” she says, then laughs softly. “And breakfast in the morning.” She speaks with graceful elegance and asks her name not be used. She’s been homeless off and on for the past six years. It’s a weary struggle she hopes will end soon. Yet she remains grateful. “I’m thankful for my health and strength, for being able to walk around,” she says. “Most of all, my spirituality. Faith is the expectation of unforeseen things. And that’s what carries me on every day.” The sun begins to sink on the outdoor Thanksgiving feast. The line is no longer hundreds deep. Diners, scattered along the tables, linger, listening to the waning melodies of the band. Simple expressions of gratitude tumble in the gentle darkness: Jackie Russell, 53, homeless: “Being alive.” Mystic Aberle, 32, volunteer: “Having a warm place to stay.” Paul Winters, 47, on disability: “Being able to give God thanks.” Tami Bigandt, 46, volunteer: “That my daily needs are met… that I have food.” True thanks giving.

Mall stores betting on Turkey Day shoppers About 30 percent of Park Meadows retailers to open on Thanksgiving
Stores that don’t open Thanksgiving Day or at 6 a.m. won’t face any criticism from mall management, Kelly said. Because Thanksgiving is a legal holiday, retailers aren’t subject to the usual lease requirement of operating when the rest of the mall is open. “I don’t require any store to open at all until 8 a.m. on Black Friday,” Kelly said. “They can make that choice — if they do not wish to participate in the Thanksgiving or extreme early 6 a.m. opening — on their own.” According to the National Retail Federation, 44.8 million people shopped on Thanksgiving Day 2013, up 27 percent from 2012. More than twice as many visited stores on Black Friday, and the average shopper spent $407 over the four-day 2013 Thanksgiving weekend. The National Retail Federation predicts happy holidays for stores, based on a low unemployment rate that typically translates into confident consumers. The federation forecasts a 4.1 seasonal spending increase in 2014 from 2013. If that Christmas wish comes true, it would be Shoppers wait outside Park Meadows’ Forever 21 store for its early morning Black Friday opening in 2012. File photo the largest increase since 2011.
By Jane Reuter
jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com Controversial as Thanksgiving Day shopping may be, some retailers based at the consumerfriendly Park Meadows shopping center are betting consumers will gobble up holiday sales. About 30 percent of the 160 stores at Lone Tree’s Park Meadows mall will open at 6 p.m. Nov. 27. Dick’s Sporting Goods and JC Penney will open at 5 p.m. While some stores will stay open all night, most that open at 6 p.m. will close at midnight, and then re-open at 6 a.m. for Black Friday. About two-thirds of the mall’s retailers will participate in the traditional early Nov. 28 opening, general manager Pamela Schenck Kelly said. The Black Friday celebration includes a free pancake breakfast in the Dining Hall from 6 to 8 a.m., a KOSI-FM live radio broadcast and other entertainment.

The day-long event will feature a surprise anniversary beer, five small-batch beers created by brewery staff members that will be tapped every two hours, live music, food trucks and three surprise announcements at about 5 p.m. “We have some pretty massive expansion coming that we’ve never done before,” co-owner and head brewer Jason Wiedmaier said. “We’re going to get a lot bigger. Next year is going to be crazy.” Wiedmaier wouldn’t provide any additional hints about the still-brewing news. The Lone Tree Brewing Company opened in Dec. 8, 2011, the first craft brewery to open in the Lone Tree/ Highlands Ranch area. Its growth since then has astonished co-owners Wiedmaier and John Winter. During the brewery’s first full year of operation in 2012, it brewed 530 barrels of beer. In 2014, it’s on track to produce about 2,000 barrels — nearly quadrupling its production. Lone Tree beer is served in more than 100 restaurants and sold in about 150 liquor stores. Three of its beers now are sold in cans. “We never knew we’d get this big, not in our wildest dreams,” Wiedmaier said. “We’ve hired the right people in the right positions, and our brew house has been amazing.” The brewery is located at 8200 Park Meadows Drive, Suite 8222, Lone Tree.

Parks district likely to invest in city Lone Tree proposes funding for overpass, pocket park
BALLOT ISSUE 4C: HOW THEY VOTED
By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Most Lone Tree residents didn’t vote for the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District’s mill levy increase, but they’ll benefit from it regardless. Districtwide, about 53 percent of those who voted Nov. 4 approved South Suburban’s 2-mill tax hike. The measure lost in both Douglas and Jefferson counties, but won in Arapahoe — the largest portion of the district. The promise of additional funds means the district likely will contribute money toward the cost of building a pedestrian bridge over Lincoln Avenue, said SSPRD executive director Dave Lorenz. The bridge would provide a seamless connection for the Willow Creek Trail. “Now that we’ve passed the mill levy increase, I’m confident we will agree to contribute up to $1 million for the bridge if they go forward with it,” he said. The cost to build a bridge spanning Lincoln from just west of its intersection with Heritage Hills Circle is roughly estimated at $3 million to $4 million. The city is negotiating to purchase the land needed for the hoped-for 2016 project. Mayor Jim Gunning said a financial partnership with SSPRD makes sense. “They’re our recreation provider, and they’ve always been a great partner,” he said. The bridge “allows residents to get to and from the rec center, to the south side on the trails, to and from the pool and tennis courts. I think it has a great deal of applicability to South Suburban.” Lone Tree’s recreation center, Cook Creek pool and the Cook Creek tennis courts all are SSPRD-managed facilities. The district and city also have discussed partnering on construction of a pocket park near the Entertainment District at the intersection of Park Meadows and Kimmer drives. Lone Tree “asked us for up to half a million dollars in 2016 if we get a project design approved by everybody,” Lorenz said. “And we said, `Absolutely.’ That’s one of the things we like to do, is develop parks. We’re enthusiastic
A look at how Ballot Issue 4C fared in the three counties in which it was placed on the ballot: Arapahoe: Yes — 28,437; No — 24,217 Douglas: Yes — 3,951; No — 4,871 Jefferson: Yes — 533; No — 606
that our planning staff will begin that the first of the year.” Having more money in the budget also will allow the district to replace aging equipment at the Lone Tree Recreation Center and further update the Lone Tree Golf Clubhouse. But Lorenz said no major renovations or facility expansions are planned. A citizens committee that reviewed all SSPRD’s facilities recommended the city consider asking for approval of a bond issue that would have allowed it to expand the Lone Tree Recreation Center, upgrade or replace the South Suburban Golf clubhouse and build a field house, among other projects. “But when we polled the community, none of those had any support,” Lorenz said. “So the board focused on maintaining what we have. That had strong support throughout the community.” The 10-year-old Lone Tree Rec Center eventually will be expanded, but Lorenz said it hasn’t even been discussed yet. The district planned its 2015 budget without the recently approved tax revenue approved. Now, staff members are taking another look. “They each have a list of things they wanted in 2015 we couldn’t afford,” Lorenz said. “I challenged them to rethink what they’re going to be asking for, and to make sure we look at what we told the citizens the issue was about, and that what we’re asking for fits within the criteria.” The property-tax increase will generate about $4.5 million annually for trails and park maintenance, installing energy-saving systems and replacing irrigation systems. SSPRD serves about 135,000 people in Littleton, Sheridan, Columbine Valley, Lone Tree, Bow Mar, Centennial, and unincorporated Jefferson, Douglas and Arapahoe counties.

Time once again for thinking about thanking We still haven’t managed to screw up Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a great day to be together with your family and friends, and to consume too much. Houses still look like houses on the outside, for another day or two. We don’t dogpile for electronics or badlooking sweaters. Yet. It’s just you and gravy. Mashed potatoes and gravy. Mashed potatoes and gravy and slices of turkey with a sidecar of stuffing and cranberries. My 90-year-old friend wanted trout. So I fixed trout. We had trout and asparagus. I can’t remember the first time I ate asparagus. I might not have had asparagus for the first time until I was in college. It seemed like a distant vegetable, like artichoke hearts. Some vegetarians make allowances for turkey, chicken and seafood. I don’t get it. I don’t have any heartwarming stories about Thanksgiving, or even any funny ones. I spend most Thanksgivings by myself. Don’t go getting sad. Holidays don’t mean very much to me. Days mean a lot to me. Maybe if I had little Vera, Chuck and Dave things would be different. But I don’t. I have Smitty on Thanksgiving. And I might have a little bit of Jennifer, but it’s only after she has spent most of the day with her kids. I guess this is a meaningful Thanksgiving story. At least it’s meaningful to me. I was asked to draw the Thanksgiving mu-
ral for our classroom when I was in the fifth grade. I don’t remember how I did it or where I did it. I must have done it right there on the same wall where it was taped up on Parents’ Night. I probably drew it with colored pencils and crayons. It was meaningful to me because I was being recognized for something that became my major in college and my major in life. I’d like to know what my references were. Indians, pilgrims, and what else? I have never been very good at drawing groups of people sitting outdoors at picnic tables with overfilled plates in front of them. But I guess I was good enough. It must be very interesting for parents to see what inclination and talent their children exhibit. “Oh, no, Anouk. He likes to make candles.” The father of a well-known candle maker said just about that. Now his son is a millionaire. How do we become who we become? How do we wind up where we wind up? Biographies and autobiographies interest
To maximize magic, minimize mayhem Here comes Hanukkah and here comes Christmas. Wait … first we get to enjoy Thanksgiving, don’t we? Studies show how much better retailers do when they begin promoting the holidays sooner. However, I wonder how we all do as consumers during the rush and crush of the holiday season. Do we focus on the magic or do we get swallowed up by the mayhem? I can’t think of a “Black Friday” in recent years where we didn’t see some type of news report where someone was trampled or where chaos erupted in an effort to make sure that people were first through the door and would be guaranteed a newly released game, toy or gadget. Our desire to “have what we want” instead of “wanting what we have” feeds the instant gratification demons within us. And sometimes the result is a demonstration of behavior that strips others of their dignity as we take out our anger and disappointment for not getting what we want when we want it
on some very nice, unassuming and undeserving employee. Advertising and marketing, cause and effect, right? The ad agencies and marketing wizards do their jobs extremely well and drive the hype. In turn, that hype contributes to the mayhem. Again, companies will point to top line revenue and profitability that keeps them in business and gives them a stronger position that enables them to serve us better Norton continues on Page 9
me more than fiction does. How did Edgar Allan Poe become Edgar Allan Poe? Poe died when he was only 40, and there are still question marks about his death. Some think that he died from alcohol poisoning. Another theory is that he died from rabies, maybe from a cat bite. Poe kept cats. Where was I? Thanksgiving. As I said, we haven’t ruined it yet with music and decorations and gift shopping. That comes later. The next day. The days between Thanksgiving and Jan. 2 are very chimerical. Unreal and unrealistic, like no other span of time during the year. I don’t particularly look forward to it. I did at one time. There was time off from school, and the smell of a fresh-cut tree in the house. Until the 1960s when someone came up with the idea of an aluminum Christmas tree with a nearby rotating light, that changed the color of the aluminum from red to green to blue to yellow. It was dreadful. Santa didn’t touch our cookies. He did leave a note, however. “Your tree is reprehensible. S. Claus.” It took me a while to warm up to stuffing. Not now. But keep those giblets away from me. Happy Thanksgiving, and thanks for reading. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Religious charities not great for schools There are numerous non-denominational charities begging for contributions to help third world children and U.S. Children as well, i.e. Save the Children, UNICEF, Toys for Tots, etc. One only needs to Google children’s charities and select one or even two! But, of course that doesn’t happen. The majority always seems to think that others’ beliefs don’t count. Personally, I would prefer to contribute to all Jewish charities, which I do, but I don’t expect the children in the public schools that my taxes pay to educate to support them. This is the same reason I don’t want my tax dollars to pay for private education/ vouchers. The school administration should have known better. The parents should have known better. I don’t necessarily support a lawsuit but sometimes, people just don’t get it without some demonstrative action.

Ranch View math lessons take wing Teacher uses bats to pique students’ interest By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Some Ranch View Middle School students have been acting a little bit batty lately. They’re rapping about bats, designing board games about bats, building bat habitats, writing newscasts about bats, interviewing experts about bats and advocating for the protection of bats. All of it is part of a study on bat conservation initiated by their math teacher, Tiffiny Vaughn, who decided to try a highly integrated project approach at the Highlands Ranch school. She hoped it would encourage her seventh-grade students in mathematical thinking, critical analysis, creativity and innovation. The subject she chose was bats. “I can tell you, I didn’t learn math this way,” said Vaughn. “All I knew (previously) was to teach math using the traditional textbook method. You don’t interrelate it to other subjects. “These kids are learning about cinematography, science, geographical regions of the world, the mathematical knowledge and sound frequencies bats use to communicate with each other. We’ve talked about Ebola and other communicable diseases, and how bats here in Colorado protect us from West Nile virus by eating mosquitos.” Mathematics is woven throughout the study, with students using it to learn more about hibernation, how bats’ diets play into agriculture and crop protection, and by measuring and comparing wingspans, among other subjects. “Some of the children have said, `We like math because it’s interesting now.’ It’s not just solving problem after problem,” Vaughn said. “Math can be sometimes boring, but if you can relate it to the real world, it gives you the urge to do math,” said student Danny Keith. Students conducted their own research, and chose a method for sharing their findings. Zuriah Walsh chose to write a rap song about bats, though he admits he had misgivings initially. “At first, I thought it was a weird project; then I realized they do some pretty cool stuff,” he said. “People don’t realize how important bats are. They’re like natural pesticides. “I like music, so I thought it would be cool to incorporate that with bats. We’re going to use some software on the Apple computer, create a beat and mix it in. When it comes together, it’s going to be pretty sick.” “I thought bats were just some kind of Halloween scariness,” Justin Smith said. “Then I realized how much they mean to us.” Tara Pecha said she was always inter-

throughout the year. I totally get that, I guess I just wish we could find the right balance between the magic of the season and the mayhem that comes along with it. Now there are many people who have figured this formula out. They have become adept at shopping throughout the year so that when the holiday season hits, they have no need to fight the crowds on “Black Friday” and for the following four or five weeks. There are others who have become masters of online shopping and have minimal need to compete or wait on line. And when I see how the online shoppers and early bird shoppers appear emotionally and attitudinally as compared to their frenzied counterpart shoppers, the calmness is discernible. Now shopping may only be a part of the mayhem. Others experience a real anxiety when it comes to the holidays. They have developed a perfectionist mentality and everything from the decorations, wrapping paper, the lights, the music, gifts, dinners, and parties must be absolutely perfect. And the dread that something might just be excellent or even average sets them off into their own despair. If we can just remember that mayhem is akin to panic as it can be our worst enemy. Instead, we can focus on the fact that nothing is ever as bad as it seems and that all will be well. Magic. What if we focused on the magic? The

Photo by Jane Reuter ested in bats, but now believes she wants to incorporate them into her future career. “I’m going to write a letter to Obama,” she said. “I want to influence him, his wife and his daughters to build a bat home together.” Tara and her father once helped save a young bat, which she said clung to her finger. “I got to interact with the bat; I thought it was the cutest thing ever,” she said. “When I’m old enough, I want to volunteer at a bat place. I want to do something for the bats.” On Nov. 14, a kids’ craft guide from the Highlands Ranch Home Depot helped students build bat habitats. In the spring, they’ll place the 10 structures in Douglas County open spaces to help build up the bat population. “The point is to persuade people bats are good, and we need them,” said student Ash-
magical moments found when we share a meal with our family and friends, the true magical feeling that comes as we volunteer to help others, the magic of giving instead of receiving. You see, pacing is everything when it comes to managing the magic and minimizing the mayhem that comes with the season. Are we participating at the pace that makes us feel comfortable, maybe even magical? Or are we the victim of the pace that has been created for us? Mayhem. The good news is that the choice is up to us regarding the pace and path that we choose. As Thanksgiving approaches I encourage you to give some consideration to what the upcoming season really means to you, your family and your friends, and what your personal pace will be. Let’s enjoy this holiday for everything that it is meant to be, let it set the foundation of gratitude and appreciation in our hearts and minds so that when we have finished that last piece of pumpkin pie and sipped our final cup of coffee or cordial on Thanksgiving, we are mentally and spiritually prepared to enter the rest of the holiday season. So is it magic or mayhem for you? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com and when we focus on the magic instead of the mayhem, it really will be a better than good holiday season.

ley Williams. “Without bats, there would be a major problem.” Vaughn said the seventh-graders will return to more traditional math instruction when the bat study concludes. They may do a similar project next semester. Vaughn said she’s seen some previously quiet students come alive during the project, a thought that
brings tears to her eyes as she shares it. If that were not reward enough, the teacher is gleaning new knowledge along with her students. “I personally have learned amazing things that I had no clue bats did, and how important they are to the ecosystem,” she said.

SkyView students have warm hearts Denver school benefits from winter coat drive By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Sixty-six students at an elementary school in Denver will be bundled up in warm coats this winter, thanks to the efforts of SkyView Academy students and their Warm Coats, Warm Hearts Donation Drive. Johnson Elementary, located near Jewell Avenue and Federal Boulevard, has a rule that if the temperature is above 3 degrees, the students are required to go outside for recess, said SkyView middle school Spanish teacher Cindy Van, who led the Warm Coats, Warm Hearts Donation Drive. “Some of them are not adequately dressed,” she said. “(So) we did what we could.” Johnson Elementary is about 25 minutes away from SkyView, which is practically “our backyard,” she said. Poverty is “actually happening,” Van said, “and it’s really close to us.” About 90 percent of the school is on reduced-price lunches, said Van, a former teacher at Johnson. SkyView students had an eye-opening and humbling experience by participating in the coat drive, Van said. They learned about another lifestyle, and that the students at Johnson Elementary are “kids, just like these kids.” Johnson Elementary, a K-5 with about 450 students, received its delivery of the 66 winter coats on Oct. 22. “(The kids) were so grateful,” Van said. “They were really happy that people would think of them.” The Warm Coats, Warm Hearts Donation Drive is just one of the charity service projects that SkyView Academy, a preschool through 12th-grade public charter school in Highlands Ranch, does throughout the year. The service projects are generally chosen based on something the school com-
munity values, said Lorrie Grove, SkyView Academy board president. Service projects that have been done in the past include recycling projects, toy drives and a blanket drive when students hand-made blankets and donated them to a women’s shelter, Grove said. Some of the service projects are repeated annually, but the school is always adding new ones, Grove said. “We’ve done all sorts of service projects in our history,” she said. “It’s important that our students know how to give back to the community, to the world.” Generally, the service projects don’t involve money donations. “The projects are about doing,” Grove said, rather than giving monetarily. Student participation is voluntary, Grove said, so it is not something they are required to do for a grade. However, students usually want to be involved, and get excited to be a part of the service projects. Grove added she couldn’t think of a specific example when a student didn’t want to participate. They “feel a sense of pride,” she said. In addition, all of the 1,350 students who attend SkyView are able to participate in the service projects. “It builds school community and camaraderie,” Grove said. “Older kids can be role models for younger kids.” For example, during the blanket-making service project, high school students were teaching the pre-kindergarten students how to tie the knots that held the blankets together, Grove said. A service project is organized by first forming a team of teachers who represent the different grade levels of SkyView Academy. For example, along with Van, the rest of the team for the Warm Coats, Warm Hearts Donation Drive consisted of high school teacher Elana Mamayan, and elementary school teachers Jodi Tilbury, Shanna Casinelli and Debbie Gary. The service team meets and brainstorms ideas until a project is decided on, Grove said. Then, the leadership is turned over to the students. “The kids are responsible to help pro-
Students at SkyView Academy in Highlands Ranch collected coats for a Warm Coats, Warm Hearts Donation Drive. The students’ efforts benefited 66 children at Johnson Elementary, a K-5 in the Denver Public School system with about 450 students. The delivery was made on Oct. 22. Courtesy photo mote it,” Grove said, “(and) help their peers become aware of the project they’re working on.” For the Warm Coats, Warm Hearts service project, promotion included hanging “kid-made” posters and passing out fliers. SkyView students were promoting the Warm Coats, Warm Hearts service project
for three weeks, Van said, and the coat collecting took place for one week. Students at SkyView got excited every time they had a new coat to donate, Van said. It was a good experience for everyone involved. “It warmed my heart to be able to do something like that,” Van said.

Tackling the age-3 gap Nonprofit launches new initiative for kids with special needs
MORE INFORMATION
By Christy Steadman
csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Not many parents dread their child’s third birthday. But Kristin and Jared Hoover, parents of 2½-yearold Jacob, who has Down syndrome, worry that Jacob’s learning progression will cease when he turns 3. At 3, the family’s Developmental Pathways services — including Jacob’s occupational therapy — will terminate for two years, until he begins school when the state takes over to provide assistance. “Zero to 3 is covered,” Kristin said. “Three to 5, there’s kind of a gap.” And those two years are a critical time for growth and development in a child’s life, said Jason Berney, media and event planner for the SUN Foundation, the fundraising arm of Developmental Pathways. “Jacob has developed so incredibly well,” Kristin said, “but I worry about what happens to him from age 3 to 5. Will my son be able to eat with a fork or write his name by the time he goes to school?” Developmental Pathways is a Colorado nonprofit agency created to serve people, and their families, with developmental disabilities from birth to end of life. It works with six school districts in the Denver-metro area, including districts in Arapahoe and Douglas counties. The nonprofit’s Early Intervention Department provides much needed services and support for families CN # until the age of 3. Recently, in an effort to help families with special needs children between the ages of 3 and REG. 34.60 • Rack of Baby Back Ribs 5, Developmental Pathways launched the 3+ Initiative. $ SAVE 11 • 1/2 BBQ Chicken “The 3+ Iniative was created out of the desperation of WITH THIS COUPON • BBQ Chicken Breast our families looking for support,” said Melanie Worley, • Baked Beans (pint) ONLY CEO of Developmental Pathways. “We need community • Cole Slaw (pint) support in order for this initiative to be successful.” • Garlic Toast (5 pc) The new 3+ Iniative was developed within the last six months, and its first public outreach event was a SUNno Raiser Breakfast Ask, which took place Nov. 13 at the substitutions HickoryHouseRibs.com Denver Tech Center Marriot.

The organization can provide services for any developmental disability, Berney said, but most commonly, it helps those with autism, cerebral palsy and Down syndrome. “There are 500 stories just like Jacob’s,” said Deb Bosch, the SUN Foundation’s director. These children need the support that can come from the 3+ Initiative, she added. “It will impact them forever,” Worley said. “We are confident that the 3+ Initiative will help bridge the gap.” Depending on the individual needs of each child, one kid can potentially have a therapy team of three to 10 people, Bosch said. And each therapy session can cost up to $90 an hour. Developmental Pathways can help match individuals with a team of therapists, and help the families with funding for therapy. “It goes above and beyond,” Berney said, “(and) provides additional support if needed.” Jacob is thriving because of the help of his three occupational therapists, Kristin said. Additionally, Developmental Pathways has been instrumental in helping her and Jared be great parents. “Learning to be new parents of a child with special needs is a wonderful journey,” Kristin said, “but it is also challenging, sometimes scary and sometimes even a little overwhelming.” But the experts and therapists who are part of the Developmental Pathways team identified Jacob’s “learning styles, his strengths, his greatest challenges,” Kristin said, and “develop goals to keep us in check.” She said the organization has the leadership, talent, passion and compassion to make a difference, and supporting the 3+ Initiative will help make a difference in hundreds of children’s lives, which will impact their entire future. “To invest in kiddos like Jacob is such a generous offering,” Kristin said. Jacob closed the presentation at the SUN-Raiser Breakfast Ask when he smiled and signed “please help.”

Changes have come for one of the area’s most active charitable organizations. After 11 years as the executive director of the Douglas/Elbert Task Force, Suzanne Greene will be retiring at the end of the year. “My 11 years as the executive director of the Douglas/Elbert Task Force have been very happy ones,” she said. “We’ve grown from a small agency serving a few thousand people each year, to one that serves about 15,000 people a year, and provides in excess of $1.1 million in assistance annually. “We’ve grown from a small store and rental space housing our agency in separate buildings to a large facility where all of our services are under one roof … where our food bank is on the ground floor, where clients are no longer crowded in a tiny office and where shoppers comment daily about our spacious, organized and fun store.” Greene will be replaced by Marcella Shadle, who most recently served as the development director at South-
we can make their lives better. I’m looking forward to figuring out new ways to move the organization into the future.” Shadle said she plans to be out in the community as much as possible to rally new people to the task force’s cause. According to Shadle, the biggest obstacle in moving the task force further ahead is spreading its message and getting in front of people who can make a difference. Shadle The new executive director also points out that renovations to the task force building set to begin in early December will create more space and allow for expansion and additional services, such as a larger area to receive donations and offer new client services in 2015. The Douglas/Elbert Task Force tries to meet the immediate needs of residents of Douglas and Elbert counties who are in financial distress and/or at risk of becoming homeless. In 2013, the task force distributed $1.1 million in assistance, including $761,491 in food, hygiene and household supplies.

Alternatives Pregnancy Center
Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network
www.YouhaveAlternatives.org
www.admhn.org
Alternatives Pregnancy Center has been serving the Douglas County community for over 20 years with help and hope for women, teens and men in unintended pregnancy. Our first location in Denver was founded in 1982. Currently we have seven Denver Metro offices including Parker and a Mobile Testing Clinic serving Castle Rock weekly. We see thousands of women as they struggle with the decisions surrounding an unintended pregnancy. The pressure is not only internal—outside circumstances often add confusion and pressure to the situation. When women are confronted with the difficult circumstances of an unplanned pregnancy, they deserve to be offered not only practical help for now, but also bright hope for the future. Alternatives is a safe place for a woman to contemplate a life-changing event: • For those who see the pregnancy as a “crisis” where the only way out is abortion. • For those who are unsure about what to do and need counseling and information. • For those who have decided to carry their baby to term and need resources and referrals. • For those who have had an abortion and need post-abortion counseling • For those who want to make an adoption plan.
Following the example of Christian love, we offer Denver area women alternatives to abortion by providing practical care for women and their families through education, counseling, pregnancy tests, material goods and referrals. In addition, Alternatives seeks to educate young people about premarital sexual abstinence and we seek to help women find healing through our post-abortion counseling program. Alternatives recently added Sexually Transmitted Disease Testing and Treatment Program coupled with lifestyle counseling. All of our services are free and confidential. Contact us on our 24-Hour Helpline: 303.295.2288 or our website at www. YouhaveAlternatives.org.
Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network (ADMHN) is a private, nonprofit provider of professional, confidential, quality mental health and addiction treatment services for children, adolescents, adults, and families. Our mission is to strengthen individual, family and community wellness by providing exceptional, compassionate, inclusive, responsive and integrated behavioral health care. While ADMHN accepts clients from any region, our primary focus is Arapahoe and Douglas counties. Last year we served over 10,000 unique clients. We have nine offices providing a wide range of services, including 24-hour crisis response and emergency services, outpatient services for children and adults, case management, psychiatric services, victims services, socialization and recreational activities, vocational services, an acute treatment unit, hospital management, an in-house pharmacy, criminal justice services and a primary care clinic for adult clients. Our comprehensive network of services allows us to be responsive to community needs with programs
that have both considerable reach and depth. Suicide intervention and prevention are an extremely important part of all of the work that we do. Colorado has the fifth highest suicide rate in the country and far too many of these losses are people in our own counties. We provide prevention and intervention through education, outreach and trainings designed to empower the people of our communities to help others in crisis. There’s a good chance that you — or someone you know — will experience emotional or behavioral challenges at some point. After all, behavioral health issues affect one out of every four Colorado families each year. It is an equalopportunity disease that can happen to anyone at any time. Whether you have anxiety, stress, depression, drug or alcohol addiction, or bipolar disorder — or any other mental health challenge — it doesn’t have to take over your life or your loved ones’ lives. Proper diagnosis and treatment lead to very successful outcomes and recoveries.
Castle Rock Senior (Community) Center
Chelsea Hutchison Foundation
www.castlerockseniorcenter.org
www.chelseahutchisonfoundation.org
The Castle Rock Senior Center has been in operation since 1971. Founded originally by a small group as a senior citizen club, it has evolved with the growth of the area into the premier organization for seniors in Douglas County. Douglas County has the fastest growing population of people over 60 in the United States. By 2030, one in every four people in Castle Rock will be over 60.
The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation serves individuals, families and communities affected by epilepsy and seizures by raising awareness of the common yet little-known condition SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy), by providing support and equipment for prevention of this occurrence, and by creating a safe space and raising awareness within the greater community.
We are currently co-located with the Recreation Center, on the hill behind the high school. We are a community-gathering place where seniors laugh and learn, find information and assistance, and focus on their complete health. We do over 100 activities each month, including our golf leagues, softball teams, theater trips, bridge clubs, and our Wellness Program. We are the largest transporter of seniors and those with disabilities in our county — we provide over 900 rides each month to medical appointments, grocery shopping, treatments, and social activities. We are volunteer run and member based.
The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation was founded in 2009 by Doug and Julie Hutchison after the sudden and unexpected death of their daughter Chelsea.
We are a community-gathering place. Seniors from in and around Castle Rock come together to meet each other, learn to know each other, and help each other. We value our ‘town within a town’ atmosphere. We are a place where people playwhether that is card games, or sports, or just talking or being together. We explore
the world together through a variety of education and informational offeringsfor instance, workshops, speakers, and trips. We provide information, referrals, and direct services. The Castle Rock Senior Center is a one-stop-shop for all kinds of information related to aging. We also coordinate a variety of direct services, including transportation, meals, and financial counseling (investment clubs, tax assistance, etc.) We are a place where seniors can celebrate their total well-being. We offer visiting nurses, health screenings, and other medical information. More importantly, we provide an environment that encourages seniors to be active, to stay mentally, physically, and socially engaged, to live lives of quality, meaning and dignity.
The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation grants comfort and hope to those affected by epilepsy through providing monitoring resources, vital information, and a safe haven for conversation and community. Our main goal is to raise awareness of SUDEP and to make a positive difference in the lives of individuals and families living with epilepsy. We raise funds to provide education about SUDEP and to provide seizure response dog grants and life-saving movement monitors that help to protect against SUDEP. We stay up-to-date on current trends in medical technology in order to be able to provide the most effective devices as they become available. We respect the value and quality of life of every person living with epilepsy/seizures. We are dedicated to providing opportunities that allow individuals and families greater independence, increased confi-
dence, ability to enjoy social environments, and community understanding. The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation directly serves individuals living with epilepsy — there are over 3 million currently in the United States and over 26 million worldwide — and their families. The safety and comfort of these individuals, as well as the awareness raised by the organization, also directly affects the community; peers, teachers, other families and the general public benefit from whole and healthy presence and contribution of the individual in community activities as well as from the knowledge that the individual is taking every step possible to safeguard their wellbeing . Since its founding in November of 2009, The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation has reached thousands of individuals with vital information concerning SUDEP, and has given 68 grants for seizure response dogs and placed over 250 monitors with families in need.

Children’s Advisory Network
Colorado Agricultural Leadership Foundation

Mission: Children’s Advisory Network is working to help children of all income levels communicate their wants and needs in their daily lives through speech, language, and hippotherapy. Children’s Advisory Network began as a small non-profit working with children and their families by providing in-home and in-school therapies for speech and language challenges. The majority of our families are considered low income and receive health insurance coverage through Medicaid. As the organization grew, the Executive Director began to see the benefits of offering two other programs in addition to therapy. A school screening program (Wee Screen) and a therapeutic riding program (Wee Ride) were added to the mission of the organization. Through Wee Screen, Children’s Advisory Network is able to catch hearing, vision and speech concerns. By screening children from preschool through sixth grade we are able to refer these children for the proper intervention or therapy. During Wee Ride, hippotherapy, improves core muscle strength, muscle symmetry, balance, posture, flexibility, circulation, and coordination. The horse stimulates speech and language while decreasing sensory issues.
Have you ever experienced… • The sweet taste of a carrot pulled right out of the garden? • The warmth of a newly laid egg? • The smell of fresh cut hay? • Jubilation after winning a ribbon at the county fair? • Honey straight from the hive? • How soft your hands are after petting a lamb?
In the last year, need continues to increase as government funding decreases, our client base has doubled, our Wee Ride Program is more popular than ever and our volunteer base has almost doubled. To continue to meet ever growing needs of the program, we ask you to please consider giving to Children’s Advisory Network on Colorado Gives Day. Not only will you be helping an organization, you’ll be helping our future leaders be the best they can be!
The truth is most of us are at least a generation removed from these farm or ranch experiences. Through CALF’s educational programs, community projects and special events, you and thousands in our community can discover how and where our food is produced. Whether you are a gardener seeking a quiet, country haven, a 4-H or FFA family without a ranch who wishes to raise livestock, or a committed volunteer, the opportunities to experience agriculture abound at CALF’s 133-acre Lowell Ranch. This year, more than 2,600 area elementary school students (up 58 percent
from last year) dug into soil with their bare hands, buzzed like bees, made ice cream, and saw our livestock close-up all while learning about the importance of agriculture in their everyday life. Our students discover the tastes, sounds, and smells of AGRICULTURE! “CALF’s Lowell Ranch has always been one of the most enriching, age appropriate fieldtrips for our first graders! We always look forward to all the wonderful and engaging learning experiences! CALF is truly a Douglas County treasure!” Cynthia Bledsoe, first grade teacher. More than 8,000 people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities come to the ranch to participate in CALF programs or community events annually. In addition, CALF is blessed by over 200 volunteers who help at the ranch to ensure the success of our programs. CALF invites YOU to experience agriculture! Please visit our website to learn more. We hope you will consider donating to CALF this season of giving and make us part of your future planned giving portfolio.

“Most of us living in Douglas County today are “newcomers” enjoying the fruits of pioneers who began the development of our communities. Now that we’ve arrived, it’s up to us to help guide the direction of our beautiful county, so that’s why I support the Douglas County Community Foundation” — Carole Murray, State Rep. Douglas County is a unique place, with strong, vibrant and diverse communities that make it a wonderful place to live. There is a long legacy of philanthropy including Phillip S. Miller, Tweet Kimble and the Highlands Ranch Mansion, each of these gifts has preserved and enhanced our lives. The Douglas County Community Foundation (DCCF) began in 2000 to provide a vehicle for individuals, families and business to maximize their philanthropic resources. We believe than anyone can make a difference and that collaborative action amplifies and extends positive influence. We strive to develop philanthropists of all ages and levels of income, educating and inspiring involvement. Some people choose to remember DCCF in their will, other families create
a donor advised fund that maximizes tax benefits, while involving and teaching their own families about charitable giving. The Foundation provides services to philanthropists that simplify the challenges of charitable giving. Many people have great ideas for how their community could be strengthened, but they are unsure how to get that idea off the ground. We provide everything you may need — guidance, ongoing management and administration — to turn your idea into a success. Qualifying funds may benefit from tax exempt status in collecting donations from others.
In 1990, a group of community leaders founded the Douglas County Educational Foundation (DCEF). These leaders realized how important it is to support our schools. Twenty-five years later this support has grown; our organization was recently named one of the Top 25 Educational Foundations in the nation. The DCEF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit which works with the private sector and other organizations to develop private resources to enrich education within the Douglas County School District.
The Douglas County Dames who Give a Damn! is a fund of DCCF, with a Vision of Empowering Women in Philanthropy. The Dames inspire the value of collective giving by meeting monthly to learn about non-profits in Douglas County and by making a small contribution to their cause and a pool to be distributed annually.
The Foundation provides grants to schools, teachers and classrooms and raises money for program initiatives such as Career Connect, field trips, scholarships, school supplies and outdoor education. For ten years, the DCEF has recognized outstanding teachers and staff at our annual Apple Awards. We support several scholarship funds, which provide student scholarships for higher education, and worked with partners this fall to provide over $52,000 in school supplies to more than 700 children and 250 teachers.
Our organization hosts several fundraising events such as golf tournaments, luncheons and galas to raise money for the benefit of our students. We also coordinate Community Nights with the major sports teams and attractions in the Denver Metro Area. These events raise money for schools and provide discounted tickets for members of the community.
To learn more about charitable giving, creating a fiscal sponsor fund or attending a Dames meeting, visit our website dccf.org.
The DCEF also supports more than 100 PTO’s and booster clubs across the District. Led by dedicated parent and community volunteers, DCEF Chapters

Douglas County Libraries Foundation
Douglas County Veterans Monument Foundation

www.dcvmf.org
The nonprofit Douglas County Libraries Foundation (DCLF), founded in 1992, supports the programs and capital improvements of Douglas County Libraries (DCL), as well as events that enhance the mission and vision of DCL. This support, plus the generosity of the community, has enabled DCL to become known nationally as an innovative and progressive library system. In 2013, DCL launched No Leaf Unturned, a campaign to build new libraries in three underserved communities by 2016. Existing DCL facilities in Castle Pines, Lone Tree and Parker are plagued with inadequate parking and meeting space, and lack the flexibility to support the number, quality and diversity of programs the communities demand. Through sound fiscal management, increased efficiencies, and thoughtful reinvestment of library savings, DCL will be the main contributor to No Leaf Unturned. The project will also rely on generous municipal partnerships, and on corporate and private contributions to support special amenities and enhancements within the new buildings. Since its inception 85 years ago, DCL has enjoyed strong leadership, gener-
ous philanthropic and volunteer support, and an unwavering commitment to literacy and lifelong learning. Today, a growing population rely on library services to aid in improving quality of life. Examples of library services are many: literacy programs, small business help, summer reading programs, educational services for students and parents, and a local history research center. DCL also provides multiple opportunities every year to celebrate books and literature through Project: LIVE! author events, elementary school quiz competition Battle of the Books, and Page to Stage, which brings literature to life for schoolchildren countywide. Please remember the Douglas County Libraries Foundation on Colorado Gives Day, to help support libraries, literacy and lifelong learning. For more information, contact Amber DeBerry, DCL Associate Director of Community Relations, at adeberry@dclibraries.org or Elaine McCain, DCL Donor Relations Specialist, at emccain@dclibraries.org. Pictured above: Library enthusiasts celebrate in October, on the future site of the new Douglas County Libraries building in Parker.
The Douglas County Veterans Monument Foundation is a Colorado 501(c)3 non-profit formed to construct a monument and gathering place for all of our past, present and future veterans. While there will always be a need to maintain the award winning monument and plaza, in order to keep it a beautiful gathering place for our Veterans Day Tributes and for the community to come together and honor their friends and family members who have served, DCVMF is putting the needs of our veterans at the forefront. With over 20,000 veterans in Douglas County, our vision is to become a valuable resource to our very own hometown heroes; our veterans. We’ve established a Veterans Assistance Grant, for all eligible veterans to help those in need. While the government and other non-profits provide numerous resources, our grants are designed to help where there may be a gap or where the other programs may be falling short. Grants up to $500 may be requested in the following areas similar but not limited to the areas of hardship, quality of Life and transportation. We invite everyone to step up and take

There is nothing more lasting than open lands and once they are gone, they are gone forever.
Thirty years ago, several Castle Rock Churches joined forces to create a centralized location to send people in need. The founders wanted to encourage volunteerism by providing opportunities for their members to become directly involved with the needs of their neighbors. Today, we’ve grown to serve those in need in two counties, but the mission of the organization is reflected in everything we do: to endeavor to meet the immediate needs of residents of Douglas and Elbert counties who are in financial distress and/or at risk of becoming homeless, to help them work through troublesome times with dignity.
The Douglas Land Conservancy is a 501 (c) 3 non-partisan, non-profit land trust dedicated to the protection and conservation of the natural character, habitat, and open space of the central front range region of Colorado, including Douglas County and surrounding areas. Did you know that Douglas Land Conservancy conserves an average of 68 acres each month in Douglas County alone and more than 816 acres annually?! Since 1987 DLC has protected 22,038 acres from being developed, in perpetuity. These lands include agricultural lands, public recreation open space, scenic viewscapes, critical wildlife habitat, and wetlands. Of that 22,038 acres, 11,102 acres are open to the public and provide great trail and recreational experiences for all to enjoy. 10,936 acres are private lands that protect agricultural op-
erations, open space, scenic viewscapes, critical wildlife habitat, and wetlands from ever being developed. It is DLC’s job to ensure that these properties are protected in perpetuity by visiting each property annually. The hardest part of our job begins once a conservation easement is put in place protecting, the land.
People who are in crisis operate under incredible stress. Having a calm, warm, safe place to come and being greeted and immediately made welcome by smiling volunteers instantly diffuses some of that stress. Kids have an airy, quiet space with room for them to play safely. Having the opportunity to be listened to and to be heard by staff who not only understand, but who can often make an immediate difference is an incredible relief, particularly for clients with children. We go through many boxes of tissues, and hugs are given liberally at the D/ETF! Today, we meet the challenges that affect the newly unemployed, the unemployed and those on limited and fixed incomes with over 250 volunteers; our

To apply for a veteran’s assistance grant or stay updated on how we’re helping our veterans please visit www.dcvmf.org.
Food Bank is our largest area of service. Each client receives one-on-one assistance as well as meaningful referrals to address long term problems. This past fiscal year (January-December, 2013), we served 14,740 people, and provided over $1.1 million in assistance. Our thrift store, Treasures on Park Street, funds a great part of the work we do, but it alone can’t meet the needs of the people in our community—the children, the disabled, the elderly—who turn to us for services. Your support puts food on the table, keeps the heat on, and clothes on the backs of those who are in financial crisis. This Colorado Gives Day, we hope you will consider our organization worthy of your support. Please visit our website at www.detaskforce.org for more information about our services, hours of operation, and special events like the Turkey Rock Trot on Thanksgiving morning, or call us at 303688-1114.

“If the Bald Eagle becomes extinct, will it still be our national symbol?” — 4th grade student
We are a Douglas County-based organization that mobilizes local residents to think and act globally. Frontier Labourers for Christ (FLC) serves minority and marginalized tribal people groups throughout Thailand, Burma, and other countries in Southeast Asia. We are an indigenous ministry founded in 1979, who’s leaders come from the same people we serve. We are an ECFA accredited organization. The people we serve come from small and distinct agrarian hill-dwelling populations, live in villages without basic infrastructure, and hold on to their unique cultures while integrating into their country’s larger society. Many tribal people groups live in isolation, deal with ethnic warfare, religious persecution, statelessness, and lack of access to education and health care. FLC’s vision is to connect with a majority of the tribal people groups throughout Southeast Asia. We fulfill our purpose using a wholeperson approach in three key areas: Outreach, Education, and Development. 1. Outreach is sharing the transformative message of life in Christ. 2. Education opens doors of opportunity for: • Community leaders from Burma with
advanced medical training; • Children from non-served Thai villages with elementary, secondary, and advanced schooling; • Low-income workers with English language training to further their job prospects; • Other ministries to rent our highquality training center to advance their visions. 3. Development work empowers people with: • Agriculture projects to raise animals and grow crops for improved self-sufficiency; • Clean water projects in remote villages for improved health; and • Building projects to improve communities. Give to FLC, a Douglas County nonprofit and make a life-changing impact for people on the other side of the globe.

By the time these magnificent nonreleasable raptors come to live at HawkQuest, their physical injuries and/or the impact humans have had on them are permanent and not reversible. These birds will never get better and would never be able to survive in the wild. HawkQuest is the last stop in their lives, and we are committed to providing the best possible life for the birds, respecting their role in the environment, their beauty and their wild nature.
During 2013, HawkQuest presented at over 600 events, bringing the public close-up views of the birds, educating about the species, the environment and the interaction of raptors with all living things. We especially work to keep costs low for students by bringing the birds directly into the schools so student travel is not required. Our interactive approach makes the HawkQuest educational programs memorable, meaningful and fun while also conveying the importance of respect for our land and encouraging the stewardship of all living things.
Caring for over 3 dozen birds of prey is a long-term commitment requiring food, shelter and medical care. A Bald Eagle can live over 50 years; a Great Horned Owl can live 25.

are enjoyed and used by thousands of visitors every year. They are open to everyone and provide opportunities to pursue an active, healthy lifestyle and appreciate the natural beauty of the community. The Foundation is governed by a board of appointed trustees who serve as volunteers, which allows donations to go directly to projects. Trustees represent a diverse cross section of the community including business owners, corporate executives and citizens who care about the quality of life for Highlands Ranch residents.

Mesa Verde Foundation
Project ReCycle
www.mesaverdefoundation.org
www.projectrecycle.org
Mesa Verde Foundation, established in 1997, is a philanthropic partner of Mesa Verde National Park and provides financial resources to support the park in protecting its cultural, natural, and wilderness values. The foundation seeks funding for preservation and other projects within the park in order to promote an understanding and appreciation for this unique national treasure, right here in Colorado. Located in the Four Corners area of southwest Colorado, Mesa Verde is best known for its spectacular and remarkably well-preserved cliff dwellings. With over 4,000 archeological sites, including pueblos, kivas and 600 cliff dwellings, the park offers an incredible view into the lives of Ancestral Puebloan Indians who inhabited the area for more than 700 years, beginning about 550 A.D. Mesa Verde is the largest and most significant archeological preserve in the United States, and is one of the twelve original World Heritage Sites named by UNESCO in 1978. The park was established in 1906 when President Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed Mesa Verde would be the first national park to “preserve the works of man.”
Mesa Verde Foundation was instrumental in the funding and development of the new Visitor and Research Center at the park’s entrance, which opened last year. It also helped the park re-establish its historic Horse Patrol program through the purchase of horses and the construction of new barn and corral facilities. The foundation presently is working with the park to help fund a number of projects, including: • A preservation and stabilization project at the park’s iconic Cliff Palace. This is one of just eleven National Park Foundation “Legacy” projects nationwide. • The redevelopment of an old road cut into the Mesa View Trail, which will be the park’s FIRST fully accessible trail. • A Native American Internship Program to provide relevant training and experience for members of the 24 affiliated tribes. • Visit The Wildlife Experience on Lincoln Avenue through January 4, 2015 for the 2nd Annual Rims to Ruins exhibition, featuring 29 of America’s finest Western artists.
Project ReCycle’s original intent was to provide smiles to children all over the state by donating a bicycle. That has not changed. The first run at this venture led to the creation of a program that would not only guarantee smiles but also influence children’s academic behavior in a positive manner. As part of the Dream Bike Program, children, during their academic year, are encouraged to earn a bike by improving in 3 areas; Respect, Attendance and Academic Growth. Likewise, the children displacement issue is addressed. In late 2012 Project ReCycle merged with a local Castle Rock nonprofit that ran a very successful Christmas event called Bikes for Tykes Colorado. That event was the inspiration for a second program. The original Bikes for Tykes event became a year round program that identifies children living in foster homes or displaced homes. Project ReCycle works with multiple agencies to provide stability for children. The gifted bicycle becomes a constant in a life of change. In order to fulfill the bike requests from the Dream Bike and Bikes for Tykes programs, the Recycle your Bicycle program was created. Project
ReCycle collects bicycles from participating locations on a weekly basis. Bikes are brought back to the repair shop and inspected. If a bike cannot be fixed for reuse, it is dismantled. Each part is inspected from the dismantled bikes for future use. Project ReCycle makes every attempt to use every working part from the dismantled bikes and all remaining parts are then recycled.

SkyView Academy (SVA) is a preschool through 12th grade public charter school in Highlands Ranch. The school offers a research-based, content-rich liberal arts program with a commitment to foreign language studies, character education and community service with a focus on the Core Knowledge curriculum in PK-8 and the Classical education with an emphasis on college prep in the high school program. Since its inception in 2010 and the only PK-12 school in Douglas County, SkyView has quickly built a solid reputation as a high performing school that values life-long learning and building honorable leaders. The school currently serves over 1,350 students. As a result of our rapid growth and influx in students the SkyView Academy Foundation (SVF) raises funds to assist
the school in meeting the needs of our students in areas like technology, student leadership opportunities and ongoing professional development for our teachers. In addition, the SVF puts 10% of its donations aside in a scholarship fund to aid our students who are in need. Unlike a traditional neighborhood school, which pays for its facility from taxpayer approved bonds, SVA operations 100 percent of the school from per-pupil revenue, which includes facility payments. The SkyView Foundation hopes that you as a potential donor recognize the value we provide our community and others. The outstanding education provided to our students based on our mission and vision will continue to thrive with your support. We encourage you to learn more about us at http://www.skyviewacademy. k12.co.us.

We currently offer three programs: • Our Work and Enrichment Program is offered Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Our participants experience meaningful work in our Best Buddies Bakery, our ceramics & crafts workshop and packaging & assembly workshop as well as our community garden. They also enjoy a variety of educational and enrichment classes, including such things as sign language, woodworking, dance, and much more. The cornerstone of our program is education.

Under the direction of a professional vocal coach, choir members learn voice, breathing and rhythm exercises and enjoy the
thrill of performing before audiences. • Club 21, our social and recreation program, gives adults with special needs the chance to enjoy a sense of independence and a weekend evening out with peers in a safe and supervised setting. Activities include game nights, hobby nights, dances and much more. Our long term goal is to establish a retail bakery and cafe, greenhouses, and other business enterprises in the Castle Rock community where our Wellspring friends can enjoy meaningful work and on-going education. Plans also include several group homes where our folks can live together as family when their parents and caregivers can no longer provide their care.

“I think it would be unfortunate if the district were to mislead the community into thinking their `accredited with distinction’ (means) the reforms have resulted in overall improvement in academic achievement, when that clearly isn’t the case,” Mutton said. “This board promised to improve academic achievement. We haven’t seen any significant gain. That’s important for the community to know.” But CDE accountability director Alyssa Pearson believes the district earned the boost in its ranking. “There are things to celebrate from 2013 to 2014,” she said. DCSD is among several districts that serve a significant number of students in Alternative Education Campuses. Recent state legislation allows the state to re-evaluate the accreditation category of such districts. In Douglas County, those campuses include Castle Rock’s Daniel C. Oakes alternative high school, Eagle Academy night high school held at Highlands Ranch High, and Hope Online

Development Corporation, and developer Chad McWhinney, a key player in Denver’s Union Station. MPACT 64 is a transportation-focused collaboration of the Metro Mayors Caucus, Action 22, Club 20 and Progressive 15, which represents all 64 Colorado counties. Gunning, chair of the Metro Mayor Caucus, traveled around the state with Hunt to talk about transportation solutions, and get Colorado leaders involved in the effort. Members of MPACT 64 hoped to put a sales tax on the November ballot to help fill a $772 million CDOT funding gap. But because polls showed voters wouldn’t support it, the issue was not put to a vote. Gunning is reluctant to talk about the award, but not about MPACT 64. He believes the group’s efforts broke fresh ground. “There hadn’t been a really good solid transportation discussion in Colorado for 20 years among all the policy people,” he said. State leaders talked about transportation, but in a new way, he said. “For the first time, instead of having a silo
high school. Hope Online, which began operating as a DCSD charter school in 2008, offers K-12 virtual learning to students statewide. Most have limited educational options and do not live in Douglas County. In 2013, DCSD made a similar appeal to the state, but removing the alternative education students wasn’t enough to move the district into the “distinction” category then. In 2014, removing that data combined with improvements in graduation rates for all students, graduation rates for students with disabilities, and the composite ACT score was sufficient to elevate the district’s rating. Additionally, while the alternative ed students weren’t part of the 2014 reconsideration, their performances also improved. Larsen said he’s proud of DCSD for reaching out to Hope Online and other high-risk students. “Some districts may look at it and say the cost of this rating, our reputation, is too great for us,” he said. “We never took that approach. We thought this is worthy, and we’re in the business of providing good education. If we can extend beyond our traditional path to a school, or a school network with kids who really need a place to learn, we’re all for it.
“The fact that they’ve steadily increased each year and now have moved themselves into the performance category — it seems like we’re all winning. And most importantly the kids are winning. I find that to be a good story.” Twenty-seven of the state’s 182 districts re-
ceived the “accredited with distinction” ranking in 2014. Some of those on the Front Range are Littleton, Boulder Valley, Monument’s Lewis-Palmer, and Academy and Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs. The majority of the state’s districts— 102 — are designated “accredited.”
discussion — talking about just roads, transit or bike/ped — we talked about a comprehensive formula,” Gunning said. “More and more, those are linked together in a mobility solution: How you get from where you are to where you’re going in the most timely manner. That could be driving, transit, or a pedestrian bridge. “Even though we didn’t end up going out to the voters, we really changed the way we talk about transportation in Colorado. In my mind, that is a step forward.” Transit Alliance executive director Kathleen Osher agrees. “I think what we’re recognizing as an organization is how much the investment in transportation and infrastructure has helped in really creating wonderful opportunities to build our community,” she said. “Mayor Gunning was really leading that statewide discussion.” The Transit Alliance is a Denver-based public-advocacy organization started in 1997 to support transit. Its sold-out, fourth annual event also included an award for outstanding organization in transit leadership to the Urban Land Conservancy. Carla Madison, for whom the award is named, was a Denver council member and Transit Alliance board member who died from cancer in 2011.

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Who knew there was a gold necklace shaped like the articulated bodies of a pair of crocodiles? It was created by Cartier for Mexican film star Maria Felix, meticulously crafted in gold with diamonds, emeralds and rubies. It sometimes was worn and, at other times, placed on a table as a sculpture. It will be among the 250 treasures that make up “Brilliant: Cartier in the 20th Century,” open at the Denver Art Museum (and not scheduled to be shown elsewhere) through March 15, 2015. Margaret Young Sanchez, who serves as Frederick and Jan Mayer Curator of PreColumbian Art at the DAM, is curator for this exhibit. She has a longstanding interest in jewelry and decorative arts, having gained a familiarity with gold work in her pre-Columbian studies. DAM director Christoph Heinrich comments, in an introduction to the beautiful catalog published to accompany “Brilliant,” that Colorado has a connection to Cartier — Evelyn Walsh McLean was a Cartier customer for decades, beginning with the 1908 choice of the Star of the East Diamond as a wedding gift from

On a return trip in 1912, she bought the legendary blue Hope Diamond. She and many others among the world’s wealthy were regular customers for the spectacularly designed and crafted jewelry, watches, clocks and smoking accessories. The show has seven thematically organized sections that cover the years 1900 to 1975. Cartier’s Heritage Department assisted Young-Sanchez, as did international jewelry specialists, in organizing the exhibit. Divisions begin with “Aristocracy and Aspiration,” after Louis Cartier joined the firm in 1898 and younger Cartier sons Pierre and Jacques brought their energy, through 1918. Paris was the center of a cosmopolitan society whose members could afford the elaborate Cartier jewels and decorative objects. “The New Outlook” includes Art Deco design 1918 to 1939. “Foreign Fascination” covers a similar period but looks to Egypt, India, Islam and East and Southeast Asia for both design inspirations and potential customers. “The Art of Smoking” section of the book begins with a photo of actress Marlene Dietrich in top hat and tails, smoking — a glamorous custom that required bejeweled cigarette cases, cigarette holders, cigar cutters, lighters and more. Here, objects for men, “The Masculine

It includes lighter scale design, although glamorous in the extreme. This exhibit is a coordinated look at an era that had as many individual stories as overlapping conflicts. It’s an opportunity to enter another world for a few hours.
When Miki Hashimoto closed Japon, an 18-year fixture in Wash Park, it was a shock to our sushi systems. But the venerable owner, who was lured to the United States 26 years ago at age 15 by the movie “American Graffiti,” promised to return to Denver’s dining scene. And he’s done just that with the recent opening of Tokio, a 60-seat ramen, binchotan grill and sushi spot in the burgeoning Prospect neighborhood at 2907 Huron St. “Dining at Tokio is the most authentic Japanese experience one can have in Denver, and we are very excited to bring the unique flavor of real Japanese ramen, binchotan grilling and imported Hakushika sake and spirits to the Prospect neighborhood,” Hashimoto sad. “Tokio transports diners to a small house in Japan where only the freshest, highest quality delicacies are served, and we know that our patrons will taste the difference.” During the media menu tasting on Nov. 12, Hashimoto and his crew prepared an array of goodies including a spicy B&B roll, vegetarian ramen (with house made noodles) bacon-wrapped asparagus, shumai (dumplings) and yakitori chicken skewers from the binchotan (Japanese charcoal) grill. Each course was paired with sake samplers — four tumblers of sake neatly served on a plate bearing each drink’s name. Tokio’s decor is industrial minimalistic, designed by Kanji Ueki, who also helped design the original Apple retail stores. Downstairs is the hopping and happening space with sushi bar seating and a long community table made from a piece of ash that Hashimoto found in Longmont. Upstairs is a more romantic and intimate surrounding with a sake bar. Parking is available in the lot behind the restaurant, and reservations can be made at www.mytokio.com or by calling 720-6392911.
Ah, that DIA dining
Thrillist.com, the website that brings you all the lists you never knew you needed to know, has compiled “Every important American airport ranked by its food/drink.” Coming in at a respectable No. 8 — out of 72 — is Denver International Airport. Here’s how Thrillist made its picks: “We did it like this: First, we broke down every essential airport by the number of planes that fly in, plus region so every state was included. Then we looked up every single restaurant and bar available at each spot, and broke the airports down into four tiers. Once we had the tiers, we went deeper and figured out our proper rankings, paying particular attention to two factors: a) whether the options were unique and illustrative of the foods of that region, and b) the quantity of quality places available. But we tried to weigh the first factor higher, so smaller airports with more local food got more credit than massive places with 85 chains.” About DIA, Thrillist said, “Considering you’re legally allowed to get Rocky Mountain high (though not at the airport), this place is a delight, and not just because Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs hot dogs are `delivered directly from New Jersey.’ They’ve also got a Boulder Beer Taphouse, a New Belgium Hub, Ben & Jerry’s, an outpost of Denver’s incredible Root Down, some sort of Russian coffee place, and Elway’s, Parker continues on Page 31

By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com New holiday fare offers a pleasing alternative to “A Christmas Carol” and “Miracle on 34th St.” this season. “Red Ranger Came Calling” plays Nov. 28 to Dec. 20 at the Aurora Fox — a musical story for kids and grown-ups alike. This will be the second place in the nation to produce this play, according to 11-year-old Aidan Flaugh, who plays Red. It was originally developed by Book-It Theatre in Seattle, which creates plays from established books, using the text and narrative. In this case, it drew from cartoonist Berkeley Breathed’s “Red Ranger Came Calling: A Guaranteed True Christmas Story,” based on a story about Breathed’s father. It’s 1939. There’s a boy everyone calls Red, due to his obsession with Buck Tweed, Red Ranger from Mars and Protector of Grateful Princesses. Director Charles Packard sent out a note about the casting and his decision to cast a child in the lead: the aforementioned Aidan, a Littleton resident, with young Sean Wilson as understudy. “They are fully competent, talented performers and are ageappropriate. They will keep you and your kids fully empathetic and engaged in the huge conflicts of the show …” Breathed’s original artwork inspires the
Aidan Flaugh, 11, of Littleton, plays the lead in “Red Ranger Came Calling” at the Aurora Fox. Courtesy photo sets and costumes and each character tells his own story in Book-it Theatre style Red’s parents send the 9-year-old to stay with his Aunt Vy one Christmas during the Depression — on Vashon Island, Washington, where it rains all the time. His only buddy is Amelia, Aunt Vy’s dog. His kind aunt tries to cheer him up by making him a Red Ranger shirt from a worn pajama top, adding to his depression.
“Who ever heard of spending Christmas in the rain?” he grumps. He goes out and meets an old man with pointed ears — an elf? He directs Red to see another old man, a nearby lighthouse keeper named Saunder Clos. Could he be Santa Claus? Red desperately wants for Christmas a Buck Tweed Two Speed Crime Stopper Star Hopper Bicycle, but knows no one in his family has money for it.
He visits Saunder Clos and there’s a magical scene. Red’s Dream Ballet ensues. Aurora Fox director Charlie Packard found this play and is directing it at the Aurora Fox. He and dramaturg Brenda Cook Ritenour met with Book-it Theatre’s artistic director, Myra Platt, to learn their specific acting style, which leaves the narrative in place as each character tells the story from his or her personal viewpoint. Aidan is the son of musicians, who taught him to sing, he said. His father, Keegan Flaugh, has played in “The Sound of Music” and “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” at Town Hall Arts Center and in “Mack and Mabel” at Vintage Theatre. Aidan says he has performed in 10-12 shows and is impressed with how professional this production is. Rehearsals are every night but Thursday. The idea that it’s only been done in Seattle previously pleases him. Also in the cast: his 9-year-old sister Caitlin as an elf.

Castle Rock artist gives works to state office Carr building graced by dozens of pieces By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Recently, employees in Colorado Attorney General’s Office were invited to put out the word to artists they knew. The department’s walls on several floors of the beautiful new Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center in Denver would benefit from the addition of some original art, and donations were sought. Terri Connell, as assistant in that office, said the resulting collection is impressive. Painter Ed McCarthy Allen of Castle Rock said his daughter-in-law told him about the opportunity and he submitted several paintings, which are now hanging there. Allen says there are about 90 paintings, spread out among several floors. Allen grew up in Chicago, he said, and spent lots of time in the galleries of the Chicago Art Institute as he matured. Throughout his life, he has visited museums and looked at art, but he just started painting in 2002, after he retired and moved with his wife to Colorado in 2000. (He first spent a year refinishing the basement walk-out area, where he now enjoys a home studio.) Before that time, he was involved in an academic career. He taught at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., and was assistant dean at the University of Illinois. He spent time in Austria on a Fulbright Fellowship and in Germany.
This still life painting, “Basket of Health,” by Ed McCarthy Allen, hangs in the Colorado Attorney General’s office. Courtesy photos In 2002, he attended his first class at the Art Students League of Denver and met Mark Thompson, a contemporary re-
alist whose paintings especially appealed to him. Thompson is described on his website as “one of a handful of artists in the U.S. who have revived the Renaissance art of egg tempera painting,” and he teaches classes in the technique at ASLD. Egg tempera involves mixing colored pigments with water and a soluble binding medium (egg yolk), and it is an ancient and very permanent method, found on the Egyptian sarcophagi and in Renaissance paintings. When oil paint was developed, tempera became less popular, because it is challenging to work with. Allen says he has painted with oil paints as well, but likes using egg tem-
pera because of the fine details and clear colors one can achieve, using a small brush. He is currently a member of the Art Students League of Denver, the Watercolor Society of America, the Society of Egg Tempera Painters and Parker Art Guild, and he shows his work in Colorado and New Mexico galleries, including the Santa Fe Fine Art Brokerage and the Art of Life Gallery in Denver. He also exhibits at the annual Summer Art Market, held in June by the Art Students League, and at the annual August show held in a park by the Parker Art Guild.
This oil painting,“Dill and Parsley,”by Ed McCarthy Allen depicts a tavern in Germany. It hangs in the Colorado Attorney General’s office.

The site also factored in Wheat Ridge’s support groups, abundant shopping opportunities, great restaurants, low crime and excellent health care into its ranking.

Pomona players scramble for a Valor Christian fumble near the goal line Nov. 14 in Class 5A quarterfinal action. The Panthers recovered the loose ball but gave it up a few plays later on their own fumble. Game temps near 20 degrees made handling the ball a challenge as Valor went on to win 56-34 to advance to the semifinals. Photos by Paul DiSalvo
Valor rolls into semis Eagles win 25th straight playoff game, will face unbeaten Grandview next By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Following in the footsteps of former Valor Christian football standouts Max and Christian McCaffrey could be daunting. Younger brother Dylan, however, just does his thing and doesn’t worry about expectations. Dylan McCaffrey, a sophomore quarterback, accounted for five touchdowns to help the Eagles roll to a 56-34 Class 5A quarterfinal playoff victory over Pomona on an artic Nov. 14 night at Jefferson County Stadium in Lakewood. Max McCaffrey, now a junior wide receiver at Duke, played on three Valor Christian state title teams and Christian, a freshman all-purpose back at Stanford, set four Colorado individual career records and was on four state championship teams. Dylan, the son of former Denver Broncos receiver Ed McCaffrey, was on last season’s Valor state championship team. He now has a chance to lead the Eagles towards a possible sixth straight state title split between three classifications. The Eagles (9-3) face Grandview (12-0) at 1 p.m. Nov. 22 in the semifinals at Legacy Stadium. It will be a rematch of an Oct. 24 league game won by the Wolves, 24-21. “My family has always been super supportive,” said McCaffrey. “They have always told me I don’t have to live up to the expectations and if I just play like they have taught me, I’ll be good.” McCaffrey, who suffered a concussion in a 20-13 win over Pomona in the Eagles’ first game of the season, was
very good in leading Valor to its 25th consecutive state playoff victory in the rematch against the Panthers. He completed 18-of-25 passes for 263 yards and three touchdowns. McCaffrey also carried the ball seven times for 74 yards and had touchdowns runs of 29 and two yards. In three playoff victories, McCaffrey has played more like an experienced senior than a sophomore. He has connected on 54-of-75 passes for 748 yards and seven touchdowns in addition to rushing for 100 yards and two scores. “I thought we were able to be balanced against Pomona,” said Valor coach Rod Sherman after his team rushed for 329 yards and had 592 yards of total offense. “A lot of the credit goes to Dylan. I thought his decision making in both the run game and the pass game was excellent. “Dylan went down in the first quarter the last time we played Pomona. His last three games have been outstanding.” McCaffrey tossed a 14-yard TD pass to Sid TurnbullFraser, hooked up with Brandon O’Donnell on a 53-yard scoring connection and found Danny Rambo on a 14-yard screen pass than went for a touchdown. “With a strictly cover two team like Pomona, the middle was going to be open most of the time,” said McCaffrey. “It was pretty cold. I thought our offensive line played great. They played so tough. That drove our offense and we got a win.” Sherman also praised eight different receivers that caught passes from McCaffrey and the Eagles’ rush defense. “Our receivers made some exceptional catches in traffic,” said Sherman. “They held onto the football in conditions that weren’t always the easiest.” Valor limited Pomona’s vaunted rushing attack to 72 yards and forced Panthers’ quarterback Justin Roberts to throw 37 times. Roberts passed for 280 yards and two touchdowns. Isaac Marquez caught both TD passes and
Pomona defender Chris Gatseos tries to wrap up Valor quarterback Dylan McCaffrey on Nov. 14. McCaffrey passed for 264 yards and ran for another 74. also rushed for two scores. “The first time we played Pomona was the only time this year they had been held under 200 yards rushing,” said Sherman pointing out that the Panthers managed 58 yards in the Aug. 28 game. “For the first time in a long time we’re Valor continues on Page 36
Bruins bounce Raiders from playoffs Cherry Creek bests Regis 49-21 to move on to state semifinals By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek turned three fumble recoveries into three touchdowns en route to a 49-21 rout of Regis Jesuit in a Class 5A quarterfinal tilt Nov. 14. “We knew coming in that Regis is a great football team and we had to play our best football to beat them,” said Cherry Creek coach Dave Logan. “We have focused on creating turnovers all year. We did that tonight and it proved to be a big factor in the game.” The victory earns the Bruins a berth in the state semifinals Nov. 21 against undefeated Ralston Valley at the North Area Athletic Complex in Arvada. It is their first trip to the semis since they lost to Mullen, coached by Logan at the time, in 2008. On paper, the two teams match up well. Ralston Valley comes in at 12-0, averaging 281 yards rushing, 133 yards passing and 43.5 points per game. The 9-3 Bruins average 227 yards rushing, 123 yards passing and 33.3 points per game. Against Regis, the Bruins went down early. Regis used a 16-play, 80-yard drive to get in the end zone first following
the opening kickoff. The drive culminated with quarterback Matt Houghtaling throwing a 7-yard touchdown pass to Alec Barnes. The Bruins responded with a lengthy drive of their own, however, and DJ Luke ran the ball in from two yards out for the tying touchdown. That’s when the Raiders began to fumble the game away, coughing it up inside their own 30-yard line on their next three possessions. Cherry Creek recovered all three loose balls and quickly turned each into a touchdown. Luke scored the first TD on a 4-yard run. Just over a minute later halfback Tyus Carter threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Joseph Carter. And with five minutes left in the quarter Milo Hall scored on a 15-yard touchdown run for a 28-7 advantage. Regis battled back, however, and, with less than a minute left in the half Barnes scored on a 2-yard run to make the score 28-14 at halftime. Cherry Creek’s defense kept the Raiders bottled up as the Bruins offense scored twice more in the third quarter. The first score came on Hall’s four-yard TD run. Later in the quarter, Caplis threw a 48-yard touchdown pass to Carter to make the score 42-14. In the final quarter, Luke scored his third touchdown of the night on a 5-yard run. Gabe Holt then capped the night’s scoring for the Raiders with an 8-yard run with 2:09 left in the game. “All the credit for our win goes to the linemen on both sides of the ball,” Caplis said. “They opened the lanes for our guys to run the ball and the defense was unreal.”
Cherry Creek running back DJ Luke pulls out of the grasp of would-be tackler Patrick Bennett of Regis during a Nov. 14 Class 5A football playoff game. Luke ran the ball 16 times for 73 yards and three touchdowns as the Bruins won, 49-21. Photo by Tom Munds

Area girls among nation’s elite on pitch Local soccer players headed to Florida for Olympic development By Jim Benton jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Cameron Bell, Coriane Dyke and Audrey Weiss are frequent fliers. All three are young elite soccer players who frequently travel to national training camps or tournaments with their club teams. Bell, Dyke and Weiss were in Phoenix Nov. 14-16 with their club teams for the Elite Club National League showdown and the three will all be heading to Baca Raton, Fla., for the U.S. Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program Girls Thanksgiving Interregional to be held Nov. 21-28. Nearly 300 elite players in the 1997-2000 age groups have been invited to Florida from the four U.S. youth soccer regions. The event consists of training sessions and matches in front of the U.S. soccer national staff and collegiate coaches to maximize the players’ exposure for selection to the next level of play. Bell, a sophomore at Legend High School, plays for the Colorado Storm and will be with the Region IV team in the 1999 age group. “I travel a whole bunch for my youth team,” she said. “I’m really excited to go to Florida. It’s really cool because you get to learn how other players play, you get to learn new coaching styles and when I go down there normally the coaches are college coaches so we’re able to learn how a real college team would practice. “Also when I go down to Florida I’m not playing my usual position. I normally play outside mid and forward but in Florida I will be playing outside back so I’m kind of excited to mix it up a little bit.” Dyke plays club soccer for the Colorado Rush and is an eighth-grader at Cherry Hills Christian School in Highlands Ranch.
LEFT: Coriane Dyke, left, a student at Cherry Hills Christian Middle School in Highlands Ranch, and Audrey Weiss, right, of Newton Middle School in Centennial, both play for the Colorado Rush soccer club. The two girls will be attending a U.S. Olympic Development Program camp Nov. 21-28 in Boca Raton, Fla. RIGHT: Cameron Bell, of Legend High School and the Colorado Storm, will also be attending the camp. Courtesy photos She and Weiss will be with the Region IV 2000 age group team. “You get to play with different players and get to learn from different coaches and learn different styles,” said Dyke. “I’m looking forward to going to Florida.” Weiss, who also plays for the Colorado Rush, is an eighth-grader at Newton Middle School in Centennial. All three players believe they come back from camps like the Florida Thanksgiving event as better players.
“Every training camp is really high intensity so when you come back you feel like you’ve grown as a player,” said Weiss. “It’s fun to bring back the things you have learned.” Bell agrees. “I definitely feel like I’m a better player when I return,” she said. “Every state kind of has their own style of play. Like California (players) attack more. I used to live in Tennessee and they are more possessive and pass the ball around. I feel like I’m a

smarter player and more aware of what’s going on on the field.” Traveling to development camps is a good experience as long as players don’t get too rattled. “I feel like the coaches have new things to teach us and you learn things from the other players as well,” said Dyke. “You can help and bring that back to your team. It’s definitely a little nerve-wracking with all coaches there watching, I try my best to play the way I know how to play.”
SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF NOV 17, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) A long-sought workplace change could be happening soon. Consider reworking your ideas and preparing a presentation just in case. A personal relationship takes a new turn. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your persuasiveness doesn’t really start to kick in until midweek. By then, you can count on having more supporters in your camp, including some you doubted would ever join you. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Your workload is still high, but -- good news! -- you should start to see daylight by the week’s end. Reserve the weekend for fun and games with friends and loved ones. You deserve it.

GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Regardless of how frustrating things are, keep that “Crab” under control. A cutting comment you might think is apt right now will leave others hurting for a long time to come. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Be more sensitive to the emotions of loved ones who might feel left out while you’re stalking that new opportunity. Be sure to make it up to them this weekend. A nice surprise could be waiting. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22)The gregarious Virgo rarely has a problem making new friends. But repairing frayed relationships doesn’t come easily. Still, if it’s what you want to do, you’ll find a way. Good luck. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A misunderstanding with a partner or spouse needs to be worked out before it turns into something really nasty. Forget about your pride for now and make that first healing move. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Communication dominates the week. Work out any misunderstandings with co-workers. Also get back in touch with old friends and those family members you rarely see. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21)As busy as your week is, make time for someone who feels shut out of your life. Your act of kindness could later prove to be more significant than you might have realized. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Congratulations. Your busy workweek leads to some very satisfying results. Sports and sporting events are high on your weekend activities aspect. Enjoy them with family and friends. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Your generosity of spirit reaches out once again to someone who needs reassurance. There might be problems, but keeping that line of communication open eventually pays off. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) You are among the truthseekers in the universe, so don’t be surprised to find yourself caught up in a new pursuit of facts to counter what you believe is an insidious exercise in lying. BORN THIS WEEK: You believe in loyalty and in keeping secrets. All things considered, you would probably make a perfect secret agent. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

healthy up front. We’ve got all our guys back and hopefully that will bode well next week. “I thought we played exceptional well. We really had four keys going into the game. Team chemistry, execution, toughness and then how much are we going to fight because we knew Pomona was really good in all four of those areas. We played really well in each of those four areas.” Stone Watson rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns. Rambo showed his speed and elusiveness in gaining 101 yards on three carries, scoring on touchdown runs of 41 and 47 yards to go along with his TD reception. “He didn’t play the first couple games but we’ve been slowly integrating him offensively,” said Sherman of Rambo. “When you see how well he ran, it is probably foolish we haven’t integrated him more. We’ll try to use him a little bit against Grandview.” Brian Dawkins Jr. led the Valor defense with eight tackles while Grant Craver was in on seven stops in the win.
