School lunch serves state’s best Colorado Proud Day mixes healthy eating with ag education By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mammoth Elementary School students could scarcely wait to get up close and personal with Parker Mayor Mike Waid and Douglas County School Board president Kevin Larsen. But the sixth-graders weren’t seeking autographs from their elected leaders — they wanted cookies. Waid and Larsen doled out chocolatechocolate-chip cookies to the students Sept. 10 to help celebrate Colorado Proud School Meal Day, an annual recognition of the state’s agriculture and nutritious food sponsored by the state departments of agriculture and education. The school served a special menu that day that included a Colorado-beef burger, San Luis Valley-grown potato wedges, a salad bar filled with Colorado produce, Rocky Ford watermelon and cookies made by an Aurora company.

In addition to their home-state origins, the cookies had another unique attribute: They were healthy. Made with whole grains, the dessert was low in sugar and fat. Student reviews were unanimously favorable. “Those were awesome,” said Richard White. “I love ‘em,” said Riley McPherson, who went back to the line for a second cookie. “I really liked how they were especially chewy.” “The cookies were the best I ever had,” said Lola Baker. Such words are sweet as sugar to Douglas County School District executive chef Jason Morse, who never stops looking for ways to make school lunches grow in taste and nutrition but shrink in sugar and fat quantity. Desserts are particularly challenging. “We know kids are going to eat cookies; parents know they’re going to eat cookies,” he said, adding that when they are made with the right balance of taste and quality ingredients, “kids don’t notice they’re whole grain.” Agribusinesses contribute more than $40 billion to Colorado’s economy annually and provide more than 170,000 jobs. Colorado is home to more than 37,000 farms and ranches encompassing 31 million acres.

Parker Core Knowledge turns 20 County’s second charter school beloved by its families By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Parents who describe their experience with Parker Core Knowledge use the same words and phrases — sense of family, core virtues, discipline and love. Those whose

children have graduated from the Parker school express a shared sentiment: Theirs is a combination of gratitude and sadness. In its 20 years, the charter school has created lasting bonds among staff, students and their families. “I couldn’t be more proud of that school,” said Monique Durham, whose two sons — among the earliest attendees of PCK — are now college graduates. “Every time I drive by it, I just beam when I see it. I truly believe that

made an impact on how (my sons) did in high school and how they continued to do after in college.” It is the second charter school in Douglas County, now home to 12 such schools. Castle Rock’s Academy Charter opened in 1993, with PCK following in September 1994. The K-8 school of 624 students opened in a rented space in a Parker church, and then

The Wildlife Experience museum has been given to the University of Colorado, marking the largest real estate donation in the institution’s 138-year history. The Wildlife Experience, on Lincoln Avenue east of Interstate 25, has been the site of the newly opened University of Colorado South Denver since August, but it was announced Sept. 11 that the museum would be donated to the school by Dave and Gail Liniger to allow CU to expand its south metro presence. Liniger is the chairman emeritus of The Wildlife Experience and co-founder of REMAX International Inc. The property, established in 2002, is valued at $40 million. “Gail and I are making this gift to CU to provide more services and more value to our south Denver community,” Dave Liniger said in a news release. “The museum remains open, events will be held, and the public spaces will (still) be available for rental. The added value now is the easy access to a quality CU education right here in south Denver.” The gift builds on the collaboration that began in April when The Wildlife Experience teamed with CU and converted 11,000 square feet of the 151,000-square-foot facility to classroom and lab space. CU began offering classes there in August, while the popular Douglas County wildlife art and natural history museum continued most of its museum services to the community. Regular museum operations are not expected to change drastically, said Lisa Douglas, who was named vice chancellor of the new facility. Kathy Daly, who was named chief executive officer of The Wildlife Experience earlier this year, will stay on until the end of the year to help support a smooth transition, said Douglas, who will also continue to serve as associate vice chancellor for budget and finance at the University of Colorado DenverAnschutz Medical Campus. CU Denver and the CU Anschutz Medical Campus are offering the first classes at the facility and CU Denver will manage the facility on behalf of the university as operations move forward. Existing areas for museum programming could become shared space with the college, Douglas said. There are also plans to renovate underused areas of the building, which means The Wildlife Experience will no longer regularly host rotating exhibits that travel around the country. “I believe we can do this without sacrificing the quality of the museum experience,” CU continues on Page 9

September 19, 2014

For dad and daughter, a game that two can coach Caley Mitchell stands next to third base, a white baseball cap shading her eyes, a single braid running down her back. Intensity radiates from her small frame as she leans her hands on her knees and looks toward the batter at home plate. “OK, line drive, two-three, you can do it,” she says. “Big zone, fight it off. Good job.” She claps several times. “You can do it. Right here.” The batter strikes out. New inning. “All right, let’s go, hustle,” Caley tells her players as they run onto the field. “Hey, a lot of eyes … you never know, you never know.” In another ballpark, on another day, Toby Tabola, sunglasses perched atop the baseball cap on his head, paces next to third base, stops to send his batter her signals, then leans his hands on his knees. “Get it started, six. C’mon, you can do it,” he says, his voice quiet, confident. “Don’t give up here. You got it. Good job.” He claps and nods encouragement. “C’mon, six, go get it.” The ball pops up. New inning. Toby steps into the dugout, but his words follow the players as they take the field. “A lot of eyes, ladies. Let’s go!” If you listen and watch closely, the similarities between the two softball coaches are apparent. What they say. Mannerisms. How they play the game. Not surprising when you learn they are father and daughter. But what defines them is what you can’t see — the story behind the game, one that tells of family and love, legacies instilled, life lessons well learned. “Being part of something bigger than yourself, such as a team, teaches people to be humble and to put the greater good before yourself,” Caley says. “Being involved in a team sport is one of the best things that ever happened to me. My dad taught me this from a very young age, and I try to instill that in

my players — that belonging to a team, and experiencing the joys and challenges that come with it, is truly a blessing.” The story begins when Caley, now 29, was just 4. Her grandparents sponsored a longtime men’s fast-pitch team, Stenseth Agency. Toby, now 56, played on his own fast-pitch team. Caley always tagged along. “She grew up around the ballparks watching tournaments and watching me play,” Toby says. “She was kind of born into the culture.” Toby, a high school psychology and sociology teacher who retired in 2012 after 32 years, coached football in his early days. Friday night games meant Caley riding with the coaches, eating sunflower seeds, grabbing Cokes at the gas station. “I have vivid memories of sitting and coloring and listening to the coaches strategizing,” Caley says. “I was always part of a team situation. That’s why I love this.” Around 6 years old, Caley picked up a bat for T-ball. Softball started the next year. She joined a competitive summer team at 11, and Toby began coaching her then. “We had a very good father-daughter, coach-player relationship,” Toby says. Caley paid attention to fundamentals. She listened. She learned. She didn’t get angry when her dad corrected her. “She was a joy to coach.” Caley laughs. She points out at her wed-

ding, in his toast at the reception, Toby noted how “she was a very coachable kid.” In high school, Caley played second base and was good enough to earn all-league honors. A shoulder injury the summer before her senior year changed plans to play in college. Instead, she focused on becoming a social studies teacher. But during the 2006-07 school year, while she was student teaching, she also found her way back to softball as an assistant coach — for her dad, in his first year as head coach at Ponderosa High School in Parker. The next year, Castle View High School in Castle Rock hired Caley to teach. And after three years as assistant softball coach there, she became head coach. The two schools are league rivals. Caley: “The first time we played each other, my dad hugged me at the plate and … gave me a white rose.” Then they exchanged lineups. Toby: “It was a special moment. This is pretty cool to go up to home plate to compete against your daughter. I really didn’t care about winning or losing — it was a cool moment.” The two admittedly mirror each other in many ways. Caley: “I find myself saying things all the time that I think, `I must say that ‘cause you say that.’ ” Toby: “Our philosophies are way similar.” Caley: “Yeah, because I got it from you.” Toby: “A lot of thought went into that philosophy.” Caley: “It’s a great philosophy.” The philosophy is small ball or as Toby calls it, “smart ball.” Or as Caley explains, bunting. Toby: “She knows everything I’m going to do, pretty much. She knows when I’m going to bunt.” Caley: “‘Cause it’s always when I would bunt.”

They both believe in the life lessons taught by the game. Toby: “It builds character. You’re forced to face challenges; you don’t get everything you want when you want it. … You can’t be successful if you’re selfish. It forces you to be bigger than yourselves.” Caley isn’t surprised she’s walking in her dad’s footsteps. “I knew I wanted to be a teacher and a coach from a very young age,” Caley says. “I’ve had a really good role model. Even if other parts of his life were stressful, my dad would always say, `I like my job.’ He was always happy in what he was doing. … He showed that he could have such a large sphere of influence and that choosing a career based on what you love is way more important than money or status.” Toby, for his part, couldn’t be prouder of Caley. Facing her on the softball field — where their bond has been nurtured — is an unexpected bonus. “It’s been a blessing,” he says, “a total blessing.” Caley and Toby haven’t played each other yet this year. The matchup should be good — the teams boast two of the state’s best pitchers. Someday, Caley would like Toby to coach with her. They look at each other: Wouldn’t that be fun? And wouldn’t that just be a fitting end to the story behind this game. Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week.

Governor’s task force will tackle fracking

Gov. John Hickenlooper on Sept. 9 announced the formation of a task force that will be charged with finding legislative solutions to issues surrounding hydraulic fracturing. The 19-person commission is made up of a broad crosssection of members representing various interests, all of whom will try to craft recommendations for lawmakers on issues that have yet to yield compromises. Hickenlooper told reporters during a Capitol press conference that he understands the weight of issues surrounding oil and gas drilling and the importance of the members coming together to find solutions. “I think this is one of the most important issues I’ve ever worked on in my 12 years of public service,” the Democratic governor said. A primary area of focus for the commission will be to find solutions regarding how much control local communities have over fracking — the process by which water, sand and chemicals are blasted deep underground to free up trapped oil and gas. The lack of legislative solutions has resulted in several Colorado communities taking matters into their own hands regarding local control issues. A handful of cities have at one point voted to restrict or ban fracking, which has led to court battles that continue to play out. The task force was born from a compromise that Hickenlooper struck with Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Polis in August that kept Polis-backed anti-fracking measures from appearing on the November ballot. Hickenlooper said those concerned about the economic impact of the ballot measures “breathed a communal sigh of relief” when the compromise was reached. The initiatives

Beauprez has coined the task force the “Polis Commission,” a body that will produce recommendations that will bury the oil and gas industry with more regulations, he said. “The creation of this panel will, unfortunately, accomplish little beyond enabling an extremist element that wants to stop oil and gas production in Colorado,” Beauprez said. The governor’s office expects the commission to meet “immediately,” with the expectation that it will provide recommendations to the Legislature by March.

rado Community Media about the disposition. Alcock said Micheloni had been “severely injured while deployed in Iraq” and was “taking medications prescribed by her doctor for her injuries received while in the military.” Alcock did not identify the medications. After a thorough review of Micheloni’s cases and history, it “became clear that this case was different than the typical drunk driving case,” the emailed statement said. Micheloni served 90 days in jail and is serving Micheloni 90 days in-home detention as a transition from jail to probation. She will serve more time in jail if she fails to comply with her probation requirements over the next three years. The lead prosecutor believes court-ordered treatment for her medical issues “should keep her from re-offending,” Alcock said.

apologizing to the officer and parking. Micheloni was “extremely unsteady” on her feet and used the truck for balance, the officer’s report said. She told the officer she was going to run an errand but became nervous due to her accident the night before. She was arrested again for suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs, in addition to violating her bail bond conditions. A little less than a week later, at 9:50 a.m. May 20, a motorist driving west on Lincoln Avenue then saw Micheloni’s vehicle suddenly speed up to 60 mph and clip multiple curbs. The motorist called police and followed her to the Chaparral High School parking lot, where the Parker Police Department responded and took her into custody for a third time for DUI/D, as well as careless driving. The DA’s office said it “made great efforts to hold the defendant accountable for her actions,” but said Micheloni had no criminal history and was honorably discharged after her injury in Iraq.

immediately returned Sept. 15. Micheloni was first pulled over May 12 by a Colorado State Patrol trooper who cited her for speeding. On May 13, she was found to be at fault in an accident at Hilltop Road and Tallman Drive and arrested after the responding officer observed signs of intoxication. Her 15-yearold daughter was in the car at the time and Micheloni was cited for child abuse in addition to suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and failing to yield the right-of-way. There were no injuries in the crash. Less than 24 hours later, Micheloni was found asleep in the driver’s seat of a truck that was running and shifted into drive. She was in her driveway on the 21900 block of Swale Drive and had been reported to police. Micheloni “jolted awake” when the officer knocked on the window and she confirmed that she had fallen asleep, according to an arrest affidavit released by the DA’s office. She was instructed to put the transmission into park, but accidently shifted into reverse and backed up 2-3 feet before

Old virus returns, hits kids Enterovirus can worsen respiratory problems By Jane Reuter

jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com Enterovirus is a more than 50-year-old infection getting new life in 2014. Like the virus itself, the best way to curb its transmission hasn’t changed. “The way to prevent it is the same way we say to prevent viruses every year: hand washing and covering your mouth when you cough,” said Sky Ridge Medical Center chief medical officer Dr. David Markenson. Because treatment of this virus is no different than that of any other virus, doctors aren’t testing for enterovirus specifically. But they’ve seen a dramatic increase in respiratory-related pediatric illnesses, presumably due to the enterovirus. Originally discovered in 1962 in California, enterovirus “has been around as a minor player for many, many years,” Markenson said. “Years ago we had no way to tell it was an enterovirus. We would have just said, `We are seeing an increase in respiratory illness,’” he said. “But in the last few years, there’s been an explosion of technology where we can now more easily categorize viruses, so now you’re going to start to hear names associated with them.” The enterovirus is common, typically infecting 10 million to 15 million people in the United States annually — most of them children and most in the summer and fall. Most people who get it don’t get sick or suffer only mild illness. It poses a more serious threat to those with asthma or other respiratory problems.

Knowing what kind of virus it is doesn’t change treatment. “That’s really the biggest reason we recommend not getting any test,” said Dr. Christine Nyquist, medical director of infection, prevention and control at Children’s Hospital. “There’s no anti-virus medication. Antibiotics don’t work. There’s no vaccine. It’s making sure (patients) are comfortable and their breathing is safe. “This is the common cold virus with a different name. Part of the difference is children are having more problems with wheezing and asthma exacerbation. And it’s also very early in the season.” At the new Children’s Hospital South in Highlands Ranch, more than 144 children have come into the urgent care with respiratory problems. Of those, eight were admitted to the hospital. The incidence of respiratory illness is so unusually high that Children’s has enacted screening procedures usually reserved for winter. “It’s the first time we’ve ever done this in the 20-plus years I’ve been here,” Nyquist said. It also appears more children are being diagnosed with asthma, Markenson said. “It’s hard to say if this is better screening, recognition of improved care or we really are seeing more in the community,” he said. Both Nyquist and Markenson emphasize good hygiene. “The message for parents is wash your hands, cover your mouth when you cough, try to avoid sick people,” Nyquist said. “If you’re worried about your child’s breathing, that’s the time to go see somebody.” Markenson also suggests people of all ages prepare for the coming winter by getting a flu vaccination.

Circular talks don’t have to stick around So, the other day I was part of a circular conversation. You know the kind I mean, right? The conversations that go round and round, circling the airport but never landing. The conversations where people jockey for position, take conversations down a rabbit hole, or go so far in an attempt to be politically correct that there is never really any clear outcome from the discussion. And sometimes, maybe even more than sometimes, in those circular conversations, the toughest questions are avoided and actions are taken so that we do not have to respond and can ride the line of balance somewhere between awkward and uncomfortable nothingness to nimble and precise evasiveness. Why does that happen? What questions can possibly be so difficult that we have to hide from their answers? Perhaps it is not so much that we can’t answer the question or that we even wrestle with ourselves about our ability to respond honestly — maybe it’s because as we search our hearts and minds, we really don’t even like the answer that we know to be true. In so many situations where I have coached business professionals, colleagues, and even close personal friends, one of the most common things I hear is that it’s not so much the answer to the tough question that they struggle with … it is trying to over-manage the feelings and how the other people receive and respond to the answer that they need to give. So instead of being direct, we begin layering our response, backpedaling a

little, start our circular navigation of the airport runway, and before we know it achieve total avoidance or dismissal of the question because we don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings or upset the apple cart in any way. Every one of our great-grandparents has passed this next message along to our grandparents, who in turn shared it with our parents, and our parents then revealed the secret to us, and now it is our turn to solve the mystery for our children, family, and friends. It is really not a very well-kept secret, and it is actually rather quite simple in nature, not even worthy of the extended hype and drawn-out verbose buildup I am giving it in this column. The message is this, “Tough questions, and any question for that matter, deserve our direct and honest response.” Whew … there, I said it, and now it’s over. So obvious, so simple, but yet so unpracticed. You see, common sense is not always common practice, right? And how often have each one of us delayed a call, a meeting, responding to a question or an email just because we absolutely dreaded how the other person might react. Can I

Mom was good practice for difficult dealings My mother. There you go. That right there might be a good reason to move on to another column. Most of us have had troublesome moments with our mothers. They become a source of revenue for psychotherapists everywhere. That’s me. My sister and I left a spoonful of her ashes under a bare tree next to a lovely creek on a bitter cold and rainy morning in Ann Arbor, Mich., in 2008. A few hours later, we left a spoonful of our father’s ashes in Michigan Stadium after the Michigan-Michigan State football game. For mom, we played Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata,” her favorite. For Dad, we played the Michigan fight song. “The Victors” was his favorite. My mother was impossible — and I think it started the day she was born. She was handed from relative to relative in Illinois, and ended up in Michigan. I don’t know how she got there. She rarely talked about her life, ages 1-15.

She met my father at a corn roast when she was 15. That was in 1934. They were together for the next 74 years. As she got older, my mother became more and more eccentric. This is all you need to know: They lived in a ranch-style home, and she owned five vacuum cleaners. One Christmas morning, my sister, my mother and I all vacuumed the same dining room rug. It was my mother’s idea, not mine. By the time I had adjusted to her and Marshall continues on Page 9

repeat that? … “Might react.” I do not write this column as if I have never done this myself. Sure I have, and so have all of you at some time or other. And just like all of you who have learned the lesson, regardless of how long it took us to learn the lesson, it becomes easier and so much less stressful with each experience that we finally learn to just do it in every conversation and with every tough question. The reaction we expect is never as bad as we imagine it between our own ears. It just never is. Now, we do have to remember also that it is not what we say, but how we say it that matters. There is no direct response to a tough question that calls for our own lack of compassion and understanding. Think of the best bedside manner of the most compassionate physician you have ever met, or maybe have even just seen on television, and imagining answering the questions in the same loving, caring, and understanding way possible. So … tough questions? The answer is really very simple, isn’t it? How about you? Can you benefit from practicing and learning from the experience of responding with honest and direct answers? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and I can assure you that when you practice this approach it really will be a better than good week.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Udall causes hardships for Coloradans

Several things have hurt Coloradans the past couple years, one being that 250,000 people had their medical insurance policies cancelled a year ago. As reported by the Huffington Post, some of these policies were cancelled because they did not comply with Obamacare, even though people liked them and were willing to pay for them. Next, we’ve seen medical insurance premiums and medical costs go up and in some cases dramatically. This, of course, is the exact opposite of what Obama said when he claimed that Obamacare would lower every family’s health costs by $2,500 a year. I have yet to meet anyone in Colorado whose health care expenses have gone down. Thirdly, many people are struggling to find meaningful employment. As a charity worker in the inner city, I note many black youth who are unemployed. This jibes with national statistics that show 40 percent unemployment among young black men. One reason for this is that many small businesses, in Colorado and nationwide, refuse to employ more than 49 workers because of the enormous costs Letter continues on Page 9

moved to a strip mall where students used a parking lot as their playground. In 2000, it opened at its current Pine Lane site and has expanded steadily since, adding a middle school and more classes to each grade. Julie Thomas’ five children all attended school there; her youngest is now a freshman at Chaparral High School. “We completed our 17th year there in May,” Thomas said. “They prepared my kids for college; they were over-prepared for high school. “There’s a core group there that are like old friends, like family, and I’ve been thinking, `What if I never see those women again?’ I’ve gone through the grief process. I was glad and sad that it was over.” Facts back up parents’ strong emotions about the school. The school’s scores on the 2014 Transitional Colorado Assessment Program showed 97 percent of its students proficient or advanced in math, 94 percent proficient or advanced in reading, and 92 percent proficient or advanced in writing. That’s well above Douglas County School District and state overall averages. Demand for admission to the school is high; PCK has a waiting list of about 3,000. Some children are put on the list when they’re born. “My first trip away from home after each of my babies was born was to the school to sign them up,” Thomas said, “So I would sign them up when they were like a week old.” Many parents credit the school’s current success to director Teri Aplin. “The body follows the head,” Thomas said. “If you don’t have good leadership, it’s just not going to flow and work.” Aplin was a PCK parent before becoming its leader in 2000. “I loved the school as a parent before I worked here,” said Aplin. “I love everything

imposed by Obamacare on firms that have 50 or more employees. So, what does this have to do with Colorado’s Democrat U.S. Sen. Mark Udall? Well, guess what? According to the Wall Street Journal, Udall cast the deciding vote to

about this school; I’ve never felt like this was a job. “I can’t compare it to any other school. I think Douglas County has great schools. But (PCK) always had a special aura about it.” Parents are required to put in 20 volunteer hours per academic year, which Aplin believes plays heavily into the students’ success and the sense of family many describe. Students also are required to wear uniforms. “I like the uniform,” parent Tanya Bouthillier said. “That’s one thing I don’t have to worry about. The focus is really on education.” Aplin agrees, noting students are a bit rowdier and more easily distracted on the school’s monthly dress-down day. “Originally, the intent of a uniform was to minimize socioeconomic differences between kids,” she said. “But it’s also the idea of, `I’m putting on my uniform and I’m going to school,’ like someone puts on a uniform to go to work. It helps with behavior.” Upon graduating from PCK, most students attend Chaparral or Legend high schools. “Anecdotally, we hear from the high schools, `We can always tell the Core kids from the other kids,’” Aplin said. “Our process teaches them the discipline of learning.” Aplin said her staff and “a phenomenal group of parents” is the secret to PCK’s success. Two of the teachers were former students. Aplin believes her job is to clear the way so teachers can do their work as easily as possible. “My responsibility is to make sure this is a place they love to come to,” she said. PCK, as evidenced by the traffic that winds slowly through its lot before and after school, is maxed out. Though Aplin said preliminary discussions about a possible high school are planned, there’s no room for it on the Pine Lane property. “We won’t grow anymore,” Aplin said. “We can’t accommodate any more traffic.” PCK is planning an anniversary gala for Nov. 8 at the Wildlife Experience. enable Obamacare to become law. Thus because of Udall, people nationwide are losing their insurance policies, paying much more for health care, and struggling to find a job. What an embarrassment for Colorado. It’s time for Udall to go. In past emails, he has trumpeted promoting a song contest and encouraging people to make ornaments. Let’s hope Colorado voters give him the opportunity to do that full time. Charles Newton Highlands Ranch

Douglas said. Museum membership remains “a bit of a question” and The Wildlife Experience plans to offer pro-rated refunds for the portion of the year for which members have paid. However, CU wants to determine whether members want to continue supporting museum operations and retain their memberships. A lot of the programming that the museum is famous for — the “Movie and a Martini” series and the annual Art & Ale Brew Fest, for example — will remain in place, and the ballroom will still be rented out for weddings and conferences. Educational programming for K-12 students will also continue, and the Extreme Screen iMax Theater will remain open to the public. “The average person won’t see much of a change beyond the addition of the highereducation components,” said Douglas, who added that CU has license to use The Wildlife Experience name and will “continue to do so at this point.”

I don’t miss her because she never goes away. I think about her every day. I try to think about something good, but she became so difficult to be around that it is nearly impossible. She would say whatever she was thinking whenever she was thinking it, and without a speck of concern about the damages or consequences it caused. My sister hasn’t said a word to me about her since 2008. On the other hand, every memory that I have of my father is good. I am still learning from my father. He was able to look at most things — except politics — from both sides, and he was reflective before he spoke. My mother wasn’t reflective before or after she said something. She could say something that would disturb the hell out of me, and before I could react or reply she would do it again. And again. I have tried to explain her to myself. Why

Many of the regular events will continue until the university has the opportunity to conduct a thorough review of what should be kept. The museum’s nonprofit status will change and it will no longer qualify for SCFD funding. But the university is already looking into ways to replace the funding. While a few positions will be eliminated due to redundancy, Douglas expects most museum employees to find a role within the new structure. “They have strong expertise and we really need that to continue to be a success,” Douglas said. “They’re being interviewed and we’re developing job descriptions right now.” She said the lines between university and museum operations will “blur” but believes everyone will benefit from the collaboration. In recognition of the Linigers’ generosity, the CU Board of Regents gave its approval to name the facility the Liniger Building at the University of Colorado South Denver. “When the gift looked like it was starting to become a reality, it was just a thrilling thing to be a part of,” Douglas said. “We’re having a good time seeing what the future holds.”

me? Why didn’t I have a mother who was more like my father? Well, I didn’t. I decided that I benefited from both of them, just very differently. My mother showed me that there are some very challenging people in life, and that I have to figure out how to co-exist with them. I think she helped me to get through 26 years of teaching at a local college. I had some students, actually hundreds of them, who were just about as much of a problem as she was. One of them, who was completely out of whack, and thought I was communicating with her through anagrams, asked me if she should go back on her medication. I was libeled and defamed. There was a 13-hour grievance hearing with attorneys at the table, along with a school committee, and a woman who made claims about me. I think she had breakfast on Pluto that morning. Months later it was all dismissed, but she had done a good job of affecting my life, and spoiling my enthusiasm for teaching. Shirley Mae Smith is never very far away from me. The thing is, I loved her very much. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

OBITUARIES George Harris

June 27, 1953 – Sept. 11, 2014

Longtime Parker, Colorado resident George Harris, 61, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, September 11, 2014. He died of sudden cardiac arrest after recently receiving a clean bill of health from a year-long battle fighting colon cancer. Born on June 27, 1953 to Daisy and George Harris in Mobile, Alabama, George decided at a very early age what kind of life he wanted to live both here on earth and in the next life. After tragically losing his parents at the tender age of six, George made a decision to follow Jesus Christ, to acknowledge His ways in all circumstances and to place his hope in Him all the days of his life. A rising star in the choir of New Mount Moriah Baptist Church in Gary, Indiana, George found his voice and used it to make a joyful noise unto the Lord through his teenage years, college and later as an adult. He attended Purdue University, an Alma mater he proudly supported as a seasoned alum. Shortly after graduating from Purdue, George finally made a move that would change the rest of his life. He built up the courage to ask out home town beauty queen and fellow youth choir member, Elaine Teamer. It didn’t take George long to realize that Elaine was “the one” and the two married on New Year’s Eve in 1977. The day he said “I do” George was as cool, calm and collected as on any other day. He never understood why men felt so nervous on their wedding day. He always said he knew God had picked Elaine to be his best friend, life partner and

the mother of his children. He simply felt blessed that Elaine picked him as well. Five years later, George and Elaine welcomed their first child Chyrise, whom George outfitted in Boilermaker black and gold as soon as humanly possible. The couple’s anniversary became even more meaningful in 1986 when George’s son Chad was born also on New Year’s Eve. George loved, protected and supported Chyrise and Chad with every ounce of himself. From cheering them on at youth sporting events to giving them career advice as adults, George effortlessly made his children his greatest joy and life’s proudest accomplishment. Throughout his career, George worked for several corporations building the human resources department. But it was at GE Johnson Construction that George began to build careers, corporate culture and community. GE Johnson gave George an opportunity to mentor young adults as he expanded the organization’s national recruiting program. George’s innate leadership abilities provided guidance to executives at GE Johnson and in the local community. Organizations such as Junior Achievement, Leadership Pikes Peak, Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colorado and others will forever feel the impact of George’s commitment

to position GE Johnson as a contributor to the community. A follower of Christ since childhood, George loved and trusted the Lord wholeheartedly until his final breath. He loved and honored Elaine just as God commands any husband and he taught Chyrise and Chad to always believe that God had a plan for them. As a member of the choir and board of directors at Colorado Community Church, George was loved by many. George’s testimony of perseverance and hope in the Lord cast him as a man of great faith who brightly reflected the glory of God. With a voice so abundant the heavens could hear and a laugh unmistakable to anyone near, George will be missed both by family and friends. But when the Lord called His son, Heaven grew quickly by one. So until the day we see George again, we thank God for his life and whisper, amen. George is survived by his wife Elaine, daughter Chyrise, son Chad, his adoptive mother Gussie Bennett, sister Ethel Weems and niece Ashley Weems, mother-in-law Retter Teamer, sisters-in-law, Marva Wheeler and Pamela Teamer Yisrael, brothers-in-law Henry, Terry and Larry Teamer, as well as a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and colleagues. Services to honor George will be held as follows: Memorial Service, Friday, September 19, 2014, 1 PM MT, Colorado Community Church, 2220 S. Chambers Rd., Aurora, CO 80014. Interment to follow, Fairmount Cemetery, 430 S. Quebec St., Denver, CO 80247.

Arson trial gets underway Opening arguments in the arson trial against Chantha Than began Sept. 16 at the Robert A. Christensen Justice Center in Castle Rock. Than, 32, was employed as a house cleaner and allegedly stole $12,360 worth of items from a Canterberry Crossing home and then tried to cover it up by setting the house on fire. The home sustained $550,000 in damage. Than faces four felony charges, including first-degree arson and second-degree burglary, for her role in the alleged crime.

`Pippin’ pops in Denver production

Beer tour matches specialty brews, local libraries By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Most pub crawls don’t end at a public library. But with the Great Douglas County Beer Tour, Douglas County Libraries partnered with local breweries to do just that. “We wanted to find a way to partner with local business and reach a demographic we don’t typically have the opportunity to get to and find a way to market the libraries in a different way,” Douglas County Libraries events coordinator Kerri Morgan said. The free beer tour asked participants to visit each of seven participating breweries for a free beer. Tour-goers were given a stamp in their “passport” at each stop and at the end of the tour those stamps could be redeemed for a free pint glass. Literary suggestions and pairings were also available from breweries and librarians. “I had a couple librarians tell me a story about a couple of guys who came in to the Highlands Ranch library and they were so excited to finish their beer tour. They wanted to get their pint glass. They were 25-yearold males, not normally a demographic we get in the library, and they were just so excited about the whole program and to be at the library and that’s what it’s all about.” Morgan said. “Getting people interested in the library who may not think of us.”

The Alt Whitman artwork was designed by Douglas County Libraries’ Graphic Designer Susan O’Brien. The beer, brewed by Living the Dream Brewery, was part of the library district’s Great Douglas County Beer Tour event. Three Freaks Brewery and Grist Brewing Company in Highlands Ranch, Living the Dream Brewery just west of Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree Brewing Company and Rockyard Brewing Company in Castle Rock all are taking part in the event. The first official tapping of the specialty brews took place at Living the Dream. Their Alt Whitman beer, whose name was chosen from suggestions on the library website, is a German-style brown ale traditional to Dusseldorf. “It’s a very drinkable beer with a fruity character to it. We laagered it for about three-and-a-half weeks and that gives it

that lighter aspect,” Carrie Konos of Living the Dream said. “It was one that we had in the queue and it was different from our normal beers. We don’t normally do beers like this because you have to lager it for so long and that means it takes up tank space, which is not ideal. It’s kind of a special beer, so we thought why not make it the library beer.” The beer tour served as a big part of the Outside the Lines program, a Colorado library led incentive to reintroduce libraries to their communities that started Sept. 14 and will run through Sept. 20.

Castlewood to mark 50th anniversary Park adding 15 acres with help of donations By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Castlewood Canyon State Park will be celebrating its 50th anniversary with a birthday party from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 27. A birthday banquet is scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m. There will be a barbecue lunch, various nature-themed activities and a small presentation about the park. The event is free, but the Friends of Castlewood Canyon group will be accepting donations for the park. “As Douglas County continues to grow, our No. 1 objective is to preserve and protect this area,” said Jason Trujillo, park manager. “Our park includes four different ecosystems and most of Colorado’s animals can be found here. We want to be a classroom in nature. ”

Trujillo said the park hosts 3,000 to 4,000 students yearly, and the hope is that the number will grow as the park becomes more and more of an outdoor classroom. “There’s nothing like the experience of being in nature,” he said. “Being so close to Denver, we want to continue to give families the tradition of coming out and spending a day in the park and being outside. It’s really a hidden gem.” The park began as an 87-acre property deeded to the state by Lawrence P. Brown in 1961. The park was officially created in 1964 by the state Legislature. Castlewood Canyon has grown to its present size by donations and arrangements with local landowners, some of whom have ties dating to the 1860s. Friends of Castlewood Canyon was formed in 1997 to provide buffer space around the park. In recent years, the advocacy group has shifted its focus to environmental education and visitor experience enhancements. In March 2014, the opportunity to

add another piece of land to the park came about — a 15-acre parcel of land adjacent to the park, upon which sits the Kleinert homestead. The ranch was built in 1887 along the banks of the lake that burst through the canyon’s dam nearly five decades later. The Friends of Castlewood Canyon have raised about $30,000 for the purchase of the “birthday gift” through various events and classes at the park. “The money has been raised and we will be closing the deal for the property at the end of the month,” Trujillo said. Now that the property will be within park boundaries, officials said more research will be done to learn about the lives and times of the homesteaders who lived there. The land will first be used to provide emergency access to a portion of the park that was not very accessible. The various structures on the property will be used for storage of maintenance and educational materials.

I was raised by a theater-addicted mother, who instilled in me a lifelong love of stage performances. And although I spent a large part of the ‘70s seeing musical and non-musical Broadway blockbusters, somehow my repertoire didn’t include “Pippin,” the 1972 Bob Fosse-directed Tony Award winner, which made Ben Vereen famous. I filled that missing slot Sept. 10 during the Denver launch of the national tour of the 2013 revival version of “Pippin,” playing at the Buell Theatre through Sept. 20. My theater pal Bradley Joseph and I experienced a good old-fashioned spectacular romp into a classic musical event that’s been enhanced by the addition of a circus setting complete with trapeze artists, contortionists and aerial performers. Throw in performances by Lucie Arnaz (daughter of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz), John Rubenstein (the original Pippin character on Broadway who now plays the king) and Matthew James Thomas, the 2013 Tony Award-winning Pippin character, and you have an out-of-this-world experience. Arnaz, who plays Pippin’s grandmother, gets her sexy on by showing off her 6o-plus bod in a bustier while hanging from a trapeze. Who knew? “I didn’t know how I could do that until five weeks ago,” which is when she joined the cast, Arnaz told us during the boffo after-play reception under the big top in the Seawell Ballroom. For an evening of throwback theatrical fun, don’t miss “Pippin.” Tickets at denvercenter.org.

Fort Collins ranks for retirees

Kiplinger, the venerable magazine covering personal finance advice and business, has accrued a top 10 ranking of best college towns for retirement, and Fort Collins is included in that lofty list. When you retire to a college town, Kiplinger says that you can recreate “the horizon-broadening experience and sense of adventure” that you had when you first entered those hallowed halls of higher learning. “In these 10 towns, a university generates intellectual and cultural sizzle for local residents and opens the door for retirees to take free or low-cost classes. College sports unite the entire community (and sometimes impel retired alums to move back). On-campus attractions, such as concerts, lecture series and games, are open to all comers, not just undergraduates. “College life isn’t the only reason these towns are great places to retire. Most are in states that are tax-friendly to retirees. Most have home prices close to the national median (some far below), active restaurant scenes, and access to good health care.” Fort Collins was included because of the proximity to Colorado State University, population of 152,061 and median home price of $280,000.

One Hull of a finish for Chaparral Wolverines get best of Rock Canyon on seventh-inning walk-off By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Chaparral junior Sydney Hull, elevated into the starting lineup because of an injury, delivered the winning hit that downed Rock Canyon in a Sept. 10 Continental League softball game. Hull, slotted into the team’s No. 9 spot in the lineup, slapped a one-out, walk-off hit to right field in the bottom of the seventh inning to drive in two runs which gave the Wolverines an 8-7 win over the Jaguars. Chaparral, which trailed 4-0 and 7-4 during the game, played without starting shortstop Emily Moore, who was hit in the face with a ball during pre-game warm-ups. “We talk about our depth,” said Chaparral coach Alan DiGiosio. “We rolled our second baseman (Madeline LaPolla) to short and we put in our backup second baseman (Hull). And she’s the one who hit the ball at the end. It was her third start on the year.” Chaparral, behind 7-5 going into the bottom of the seventh, started the game-winning comeback when Sara Breckbill opened the frame with a walk. Jennifer Calascione followed with an RBI double to pull the Wolverines within a run. Jaelyn Montgomery’s third single of the game then put runners on second and third after Montgomery stole second base. Hull came to the plate after a popup out and de-

Chaparral pitcher Shannon Bass scattered 10 hits but earned the victory in the Wolverines’ 8-7 win over Rock Canyon on Sept. 10. Photo by Jim Benton posited a hit in the gap on the right side of the infield to drive home the tying and winning runs. “I was just looking for an outside pitch,” said Hull. “I wanted to get one run in to tie it up. It helped me a little bit knowing there was one out. It kind of relaxed me a little bit. My adrenalin was just rushing. I was just looking for a good pitch to hit. “The feeling going into the inning was really hard to explain. You are kind of down but

you are also kind of up because of your adrenalin situation. We were down but what if this happens, what is next? You have to keep playing.” Chaparral had to play hard the entire game after allowing three runs in the first inning and falling behind 4-0 after four innings. Jordan Smith’s 3-run homer sparked a fifth-inning surge as the Wolverines tied the game at 4-all but then a three-run error on a bunt by Sydney Hairgrove pushed Rock Can-

yon ahead, 7-4, in the sixth inning. LaPolla scored after belting her second triple of the game in the bottom of the sixth to make it a 7-5 game and set up the winning seventh-inning comeback. “I’m so proud, the team battled back,” said DiGiosio. “It started 4-0 and we lost our shortstop before the game even started when she was hit with a ball in the face. We overcame so much, down 4-0, down 7-4 and they had runners on base and the fact we ended the inning still down 7-4 at least that gave us a chance to climb back into it.” Wolverines’ pitcher Shannon Bass gave up 10 hits but induced a fly out with the bases loaded to end Rock Canyon’s sixth inning. The victory was the ninth straight for Chaparral, which played next again Highlands Ranch Sept. 12. The Wolverines were 9-1 overall and 1-0 in the Continental League entering that game. “We talk about being ready and we talk about how deep we are as a group,” said DiGiosio. “It showed against Rock Canyon. We have a talented group. We have solid defense all around in every single spot, we can swing the bat one through nine and we like our chances.” Rock Canyon, a perennial league and state contender, fell to 1-8 overall and 0-1 in the league. “We’re rebuilding with a lot of young talent,” said Jaguars coach Debora Kortbawi. “When my schedule is as hard as it is, it’s been hard. We’re struggling. We have to keep fighting. We played really well against Chaparral. I was happy with that. We’re just climbing up the hill, we have to keep climbing.”

Lead slips away from Wolverines Chaparral falls to 0-3 after losing pair of 10-point leads against Mountain Vista By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Head coach Rod Dobbs’ Chaparral football team is still searching for consistency. Chaparral played well at times, holding a 10-point lead at two different times in the first half, but gave up three touchdowns in the final two quarters in a 27-20 non-league loss to Mountain Vista Sept. 13 at Shea Stadium. The Wolverines, now 0-3 in Dobbs first season as head coach, return to Shea Stadium Sept. 19 to face Rock Canyon (1-2). Mountain Vista (3-0) travels to Douglas County (1-2) the same night. Chaparral jumped to a 10-0 lead over Mountain Vista on a 6-yard touchdown run by Mitch Ross and Ford Edwards’ 35yard field goal. After the Golden Eagles trimmed the Wolverine lead to three, a 19-yard scoring strike from quarterback Kyle Gallup to Austin Spindler with 57 seconds left in the second quarter pushed the Wolverines to a 17-7 halftime lead. In the second half, the Wolverines gave up touchdowns after a blocked punt, a fumbled punt and a botched run from punt formation and fell behind 27-17. Chaparral had a chance to draw close at the end after driving to the Mountain Vista 8-yard line but a third-down pass failed and the Wolverines had to settle for Edwards’ 25-yard field goal with 4:28 remaining in the game. “Inconsistency is killing us right now,” said Dobbs, who

spent the past six years as an assistant at Chaparral before taking over this fall as the head coach. “You can’t have a fake punt when a fake punt wasn’t called. After that blocked punt we’re in dire straits at that point. Then we had some balls dropped that I thought we could have had. “We had a miscue on a third and short. We’re running a pass play when a run play was called. It comes down to coaching and making sure we’re all on the same page. I have a great coaching staff and we have a great team, the kids tried really hard. I told them I’m coming to work and you had better be ready to work. We have to go back to work.” Chaparral outgained the Golden Eagles, 341 yards-231, in total offensive statistics. Gallup was 18-for-23 for 167 yards and a touchdown, Ross rushed for 62 yards and a score, and sophomore linebacker Patrick Moody finished with 15 total tackles including a sack on defense, leading the way for the Wolverines. “Chaparral came out and battled hard,” said Mountain Vista coach Ric Cash. “I give credit to them for all the effort they put out. They’re in a little bit of a transitional phase right now with a new coach and everything.” Mountain Vista quarterback Brock Rubley completed 12of-23 of his passes for one touchdown, and also ran for 23 yards and a score. Nick Schmalz finished with 72 yards rushing and two TDs. “The whole night we were kind of struggling to get it going,” said Schmalz. “You just have to keep running hard. The guys up front cleared a big hole on my last TD run.” Cash was happy that the Golden Eagles capitalized on the opportunities presented by Chaparral. “You always want to take advantage of your opportunities,” he said. “I was real proud of the kids for showing the kind of

The Wolverines took an early 10-0 lead but went on to lose 27-20. Photo by Chris Rotar determination and grit to make those things happen when we did have those opportunities.” Dobbs, meanwhile, is hoping see a break through against Rock Canyon this weekend. “We’ve seen progress,” said Dobbs. “We’re young and we’ve got a number of kids that we rely on and they get banged up a little bit and they don’t have as much juice in their tank. “But that’s all a momentum swing. If you are taking care of the game and taking care of field position, the momentum stays with you and a lot of those little bumps and bruises go away.”

Ponderosa boys fourth at Liberty Bell Eagles place fifth in girls race, Mustangs come in 16th By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Ponderosa runners worked together to move up in the field as they joined 151 other runners on Sept. 12 in the Division 3 boys race during the 37th annual Liberty Bell Invitational Cross Country meet. Three minutes after the boys race started, the gun started the Division 3 girls race. The course was the same for both the boys and girls and wound its way along neighborhood streets and the bank of the Highline Canal Trail for 3.1 miles. In cross country, a runner is awarded points according to his or her finish in the field. The first runner is awarded one point and the 25th runner is awarded 25 points. Schools participating in all three divisions were allowed to enter seven run-

ners with the points earned by the top three finishers added together to determine the team score. The team with the lowest score won the race. Laramie won the Division 3 boys division team title while the Mustang boys finished fourth in the team standings. Phillip Reid set the pace for his Ponderosa teammates, finishing third with a time of 15:22. There were 145 runners and 20 teams in the Division 3 girls race. Scottsbluff won the team title with 83 points while the Mustangs finished 13th in the team standings. Carly Bennett was the first Ponderosa runner across the finish line, placing 15th with a time of 19:48. Valor Christian also ran in Division 3. Adrian Cusick set the pace for boys team as he finished fifth with a time of 16:15, helping lead the team to a sixth-place finish. Lauren Ogg was medalist in the girls division as she finished first with a time of 18:15. Her effort helped the Valor girls finish fifth in the team standings with 178 points.

Liberty Bell tests Lutheran runners Annual cross country meet draws 92 teams and about 3,000 athletes By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Lutheran team gathered at their canopy to stretch on Sept. 12, preparing to take part in the 37th annual Liberty Bell Cross Country meet. “Most of the boys and girls on our team are freshmen and sophomores,” coach Nathan Hartz said before the start of the meet. “Since we are such a young team, our goal is to improve every race. I urge each runner to push hard and set a personal best time every time we take part in a meet.” Hartz moved to Colorado from California and was an assistant coach at Castle View and later at Rock Canyon before accepting the head coaching position at Lutheran three years ago. “We are working to build participation in the cross country program and I am happy to say we have more runners out for both the boys and the girls teams this season,” the coach said. “We are better than we were last year and our goal is to be better this year than we were last year.” The Lions ran in Division 4 at the Liberty Bell. There were 18 teams and 208 runners in the boys race. In cross country, a runner gets points based on where he or she finished in the field. The first runner gets one point and the 25th runner gets 25 points, for example. In Division 4, a school can run six runners but the points of the first four runners across the finish line are added to determine the team score. The team with the lowest score wins the division title. Frontier Academy won the boys team title with a score of 18 points. Lutheran finished 18th in the team standings. Nick Runco set the pace Lions varsity as he came in 48th with a time of 18:22. “My dad was a runner and so is my older sister,” Runco said. “I decided to run cross country so I can catch her. “I like the competition and I like running with my teammates. I just go out, try set my pace and then push hard in the home stretch to try to pass some other runners.” Kent Denver won the girls team title with a score of 49 points. The Lutheran girls team finished 15th of the 17 teams in the competition. Suzy Cong set the pace for the Lions as she finished 56th in the field of 190 runners with a time of 22:07.

SPORTS ROUNDUP Gridiron highlights

Three of Colorado’s highly ranked football teams had tough tests this past weekend. Lutheran escaped with a win, but Valor Christian and Cherry Creek both lost. Lutheran, ranked No. 1 in the CHSAANow.com Class 3A rankings, saw a two-point conversion pass fall incomplete late in the game as the Lions held on for a 28-26 victory Sept. 12 over Platte Valley, the defending Class 2A state champions who came in to the game ranked No. 5. Lions quarterback James Willis was 8-of-18 for 118 yards and a touchdown while Jamil Bond ran for 74 yards and two scores. Valor Christian, the state’s top ranked Class 5A team, lost 22-7 on Sept. 12 to Chandler, Arizona’s No. 1 team. Jordan (Utah) rolled up 486 yards in total offense as it whipped No. 5 Cherry Creek, 38-14, in a game played Sept. 13 at the Stutler Bowl. ThunderRidge collected its first win of the season on Sept. 11 with a 42-24 victory over Douglas County. Douglas County quarterback Rope Ruel ran for two touchdowns on the cold evening and Kyle Newsome paced the Huskies defense with seven solo tackles.

Softball scoreboard

Castle View, Chaparral and Legend improved their Continental League records to 3-0 all by securing Sept. 12 victories. The Sabercats, who played Chaparral Sept. 17, edged sixth-ranked Douglas County, 5-2, as Paige Joyce went 2-for-3 including a grand slam home run in the fifth inning. Castle View, ranked No. 8 in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll, is 8-1 overall. Savannah Heebner, who threw a perfect game for the Sabercats in a 14-0

win Sept. 10 against Highlands Ranch, has earned all eight of those victories. Chaparral (10-1) rolled to a 13-1 win over Highlands Ranch on Sept. 12 as Sara Breckbill was 2-for-2. Both her hits were solo home runs. No. 3 Legend (10-2) nipped ThunderRidge, 11-10, as Janelle Gardner, Brittney Russo and Kylie Hager each had two hits. Chelsea Sasaoka had two hits for ThunderRidge and collected five runs batted in thanks to a sixth inning grand slam home run.

Ponderosa wins in gymnastics Katie Steward won the all-around as Ponderosa defeated Heritage, 171.6162.4 in a gymnastics meet Sept. 10. Steward and the Mustangs’ Mickey Warren tied for first on the vault, Steward won the beam and Ponderosa’s Jay Escamilla had the best score in floor exercise.

From the pitch Mountain Vista and Rock Canyon both improved their Continental League records to 2-0-0 with victories on Sept. 11. Vista (3-1-2 overall) blanked Castle View, 3-0, while Rock Canyon (5-1-1) used a goal by Gabe Krsywdzinski to edge Highlands Ranch, 1-0. The Jaguars beat Smoky Hill, 2-0, Sept. 13 in a nonleague game as Cody Ross and Brain Olcott scored the goals. Also on the pitch, Ponderosa (3-10, 6-2-0) suffered its first league loss, dropping a 1-0 decision to Legend on freshman Peter Chang’s goal. ThunderRidge upset No. 5 Heritage, 2-0, as Kyle Henry and Ethan Anderson scored for the Grizzlies.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF SEPT. 15, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) It might not be wise to pursue goals involving others, unless you can stop impulsively rejecting new ideas. Either open your mind or wait until next week, when this “ornery” mood passes. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) It’s a good time for the Bovine to be creative and practical for yourself and your surroundings. Shop wisely, not impulsively, and keep your Bull’s eye focused on quality, not quantity. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) You should feel more confident about moving ahead with plans that had to be delayed by an unexpected turn of events. Also, family matters might need more time than first anticipated.

crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Be considerate of others as you move into a new area in your professional life. Take time to meet people and discuss mutual goals. The more you get to know each other, the better. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Creating a fuss could get your ideas noticed quickly. But it would be best to present your case, and then wait for a reaction to follow in due course, rather than try to force it to happen. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Unkept promises might cause plans to go awry this week. You can either grumble about people “letting you down” or find a way to make the best of it and move on. The choice is yours. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Putting off making a commitment early in the week could be a good move. Best to act when you know you’re making an informed decision. Expect more facts to emerge by the week’s end. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A recent act of kindness on your part could take on special meaning this week. Also, look for signs of upcoming changes in both your personal and professional relationships. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Many of the tougher communication barriers between you and others in the workplace or at home could begin breaking down this week. Expect some surprises to emerge. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Your “tough love” attitude toward someone you care for could be misunderstood. Try to be less judgmental and show more consideration in the way you relate to that person. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) An unexpected workplace challenge could be daunting. But take what you know (and you know more than you realize) and apply it to the problem, and you should see positive results. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Recent relationship changes for both single and paired Pisces continue to influence much of your week. Keep your focus on developing the positive aspects as you move along. BORN THIS WEEK: You set your goals with assurance and influence others to follow suit. You would be an excellent philosopher and teacher. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
