State, district differ on waiver Board of Ed says DCSD must comply with READ Act By Jane Reuter

‘Cookbook Junkies’: a delicious habit Parker woman’s Facebook group cooks up 12,700 members By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com If the cooking community speaks a universal language, Jenny Hartin is undoubtedly fluent. A few years ago, she was a paralegal working in Manhattan. Now a stay-at-home mom in Parker, she presides over a domain of devoted cooks from every corner of the country. Hartin created a Facebook group called “The Cookbook Junkies” in 2010; it has since exploded in popularity, amassing 12,700 members, as of Oct. 6. The online forum enables cooks from all

walks of life to share family recipes, swap tips and techniques, and perhaps most importantly, bond over a love of precise food prep. It was, of course, Hartin’s obsession with cookbooks — she owns about 3,000, give or take — that sparked the idea for the group, but the recipe guides have become almost secondary to the friendships that have blossomed out of “The Cookbook Junkies” page. “There are a lot of lonely people out there who are connecting now,” she said. “I’m not in this for the glory. This is making me feel more fulfilled.” What started as a private group for “people who don’t want their families to know how much they spend on cookbooks” became a place for like-minded people to find a shoulder to lean on. Without “The Cookbook Junkies,” Hartin says she would lead a somewhat isolated existence. She quit working to take care of her 10-year-old son, Andrew, who has

autism, but felt cornered by a friendless world of monotony. Six years ago, Hartin created a blog about Andrew (and cooking) that gained a following, and that soon morphed into “The Cookbook Junkies,” a community of “easy-going people with a great sense of humor who are all willing to help each other,” she said. Beverly Babarovich, a founding member of the group, can attest to the helpful nature of her fellow “junkies,” not to mention the therapeutic benefits of the relationships she has built. She considers Hartin one of her best friends, even though they’ve never met in person. “She’s pulled me through some hard times,” Babarovich said. “I lost a son a year ago, and she was one of the first people to call me. I’ve never laid eyes on her, but she’s been a brick.” Cooks continues on Page 16

169 years for man in chase Judge sentences CJ Galley for endangering public, police By Chris Michlewicz

Rocky Vista University partners with Ulta

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com

Staff report The second-floor hallway of Rocky Vista University was littered with clapping students and hair clippings. The students, most of them clad in blue, crowded around two chairs with two stylists from Ulta on Sept. 30. As first-year osteopathic medical student and student government association president Sohayla Rostami sat nervously in one chair and student Stephanie Thibodaux sat in the other, the crowd began counting down from five. Then the stylists cut off 8 inches of hair from each woman amid wild cheering. This collaboration between RVU students and Ulta Beauty was an effort to raise awareness of alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that results in the loss of one’s hair. September is Alopecia Areata Awareness Month and all donated hair went to Pantene Beautiful Lengths, a partnership between Pantene and the American Cancer Society. The event was organized by several firstyear students, including SD Rostami. After lectures on autoimmunity and dermatology, student doctor Danika Evans discussed her personal experience with alopecia. Evans first

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

When she does that, though, she sometimes receives

comments like, “how is chemo going,” which can be, as she says, “a little awkward.” She appreciated the hair-cutting event because there Locks continues on Page 16

A Douglas County judge ordered CJ Galley to spend 169 years in prison for leading a high-speed chase that prosecutors said endangered the public and pursuing officers. Galley, 24, was convicted on 18 criminal counts stemming from a February 2013 chase that seriously injured an officer and wreaked havoc on roads in Parker and Castle Rock. The Northglenn man was found guilty in June of attempted first- Galley degree murder of a police officer, among several other felony charges. Before handing down the sentence in a packed courtroom Oct. 2, Douglas County District Court Judge Richard Caschette said Galley “taunted law enforcement” in the months prior to the chase, which happened when the North Metro Drug Task Force attempted to execute a felony warrant on Galley for assaulting an officer. Caschette said he showed a long pattern of disregard and disrespect for laws, and openly doubted Galley’s potential to rehabilitate and Galley continues on Page 16

October 10, 2014

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

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

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

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

Schwab site gets down to business Company celebrates grand opening of corporate campus By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The mood among the Denver metro employees of one of the world’s most esteemed financial institutions was decidedly light Oct. 1 as Charles Schwab celebrated the grand opening of its Lone Tree campus. The first of about 2,000 Denver-area employees will move into the massive buildings that have forever altered Lone Tree’s physical and financial horizon in early October. Men and women in dark suits and business attire, representing a who’s-who of south metro Denver, gathered at the still-under-construction site for breakfast, tours and a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Schwab opened its Lone Tree retail branch building at the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Park Meadows Drive in May, and erected a 50-foot-tall “Schwab” sign along I-25. “If you didn’t notice the new branch, maybe you noticed the sign on I-25,” Schwab senior vice president Brian McDonald said during the grand opening event. “In fact, we got a complaint — IKEA called and said it was too big.” The towering yellow-and-blue IKEA sign marks the retail store in neighboring Centennial. McDonald’s tone turned more serious as he talked about the move to Lone Tree. Schwab’s metro-area workers now are scattered among three buildings around the Denver metro area. “I always like to say we’re moving out of an office park and into a neighborhood,” he said. “We feel like we’re an integral part of the community already.” McDonald said Schwab already has helped sponsor community events and worked with the city on cementing the future southeast light rail extension and the Lone Tree Link employee shuttle. “We’re thrilled to not only be in the community but of the community,” he said. At buildout, the 47-acre campus that features an outdoor amphitheater, rooftop garden, café and trails could house 4,000 employees. “These jobs mean a lot to us,” Lone Tree mayor Jim Gunning said. “What that means to our sales tax base, what that means to our property values, is immeasurable.” Schwab already has completed two, five-story office buildings and is at work on its third, with completion expected in mid-2015. “I think that we can look forward to more and more Schwabbies coming and buying homes,” Gunning said. Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella translated

Photos by Jane Reuter the impact of all those employees into dollars. “These 4,000 jobs … that’s $1.5 billion a year in economic stimulus through our community,” she said. “That’s staggering.” Employee Tammi Torgler, who now works in Schwab’s leased space in Englewood, will be among the first to move to Lone Tree. Each cubicle comes with a workstation that gives employees the option to sit or stand, a feature she looks forward to using. “We’re excited about the building,” she said. “The amenity space is incredible. They really did a nice job.” Guests at the grand opening gave the facility positive reviews. “It is a very impressive space,” said Greg Mills, an administrator at Kaiser Permanente’s new Lone Tree building. “The outdoor space, the rooftop garden — it all shows very thoughtful planning.” “It’s absolutely fabulous,” said Laura Brandt, a director with the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation, “and it’s a significant statement Charles Schwab has made to the community about the quality of our community and our work force.” Lone Tree community development director Kelly First surveyed the expanse of mountains visible from the building’s large, west-facing windows. “We’ve been looking at plans so long, it’s nice to see the real product,” she said. The financial securities firm has $2.4 trillion in assets and more than 9 million accounts. Headquartered in San Francisco, it employs more than 13,000 people nationwide. Schwab opened its first Denver branch office in 1978.

Nanci & Steve Trevino A POSITION OF HONOR Pallbearers are tasked with the responsibility of carrying or otherwise transporting the casket during a funeral service. This honor is usually reserved for people who enjoyed an especially close relationship with the deceased. The pallbearers’ proximity to the body and special responsibility for moving it along to its final resting place have both tangible and symbolic meaning. In fact, the term pallbearer is derived from the Latin word “pallium,” which means “cloak,” or covering. In historic terms, the pall refers to the burial cloths in which bodies were wrapped in ancient times. In military funerals, the pall is likely to be a flag. Pallbearers are thus responsible for the last vestiges of the deceased.

Chase suspect heads for trial Judge finds probable cause in preliminary hearing By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com A judge found probable cause Oct. 3 to try Ryan Stone, the man facing 26 counts in a March 12 multi-county, high-speed chase that ended in Douglas County. Stone’s arraignment is set for Dec. 1 at the Douglas County Justice Center. Judge Susanna Lea Meissner-Cutler made her ruling at the end of a more than twohour preliminary hearing during which a Longmont police officer and two Douglas County Sheriff’s Department Stone officers testified about their roles in the chaotic, morning rush-hour incident. Stone is suspected of carjacking three vehicles during the nearly two-hour pursuit. The first, containing a 4-year-old boy, was stolen from a Longmont gas station. Stone allegedly later abandoned the car, with the uninjured boy inside it, to hijack another. In all, he damaged a total of nine vehicles at an estimate of more than $33,000 in damage, according to testimony. Attired in a red-and-white striped inmate’s uniform, Stone smiled at six adults sitting in the front row of the courtroom as he entered the chambers. He faced forward through the rest of the hearing, watching the proceedings. One of the women among the six repeatedly dabbed at her eyes with a tissue throughout the testimony. Across the aisle, Colorado State Patrol Trooper Bellamann Hee watched the preliminary hearing with one of his legs — encased in a plastic support from the knee down — ex-

tended and resting on a chair. Stone allegedly struck Hee with a car he had stolen on March 12 while the trooper attempted to deploy stop sticks on E-470. Hee suffered serious injuries, including a broken tibia. The 29-year-old Stone had several addresses in the Denver metro area, but an officer testified Oct. 3 that the driver’s license he carried with him on March 12 showed he lived in Highlands Ranch. A toxicology test showed Stone tested positive for methamphetamine, marijuana and Lorazepam. Lorazepam typically is used to treat anxiety. Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputy Brian Benns, who reportedly used his patrol car to block Stone’s final attempt to carjack a fourth car after crashing at the intersection of Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street, also pursued Stone on foot. When deputies arrested Stone a few minutes later, Benns said Stone’s “eyes started to roll back in his head,” prompting Benns to call paramedics. “I didn’t know if he was on medication or (if it was) some drug issue,” Benns testified. Most of the chase was captured on a news helicopter’s video camera. Douglas County Sheriff’s Detective Mike Duffy went through the video clip by clip during the hearing, explaining each sequence of events. Duffy also testified than an inmate housed with Stone told him Stone admitted he knew the 4-year-old was in the car while he was driving it. Stone’s 26 counts include attempted murder, kidnapping, assault, aggravated motor vehicle theft, robbery, vehicular eluding, criminal mischief and leaving the scene of an accident. In addition to the March 12 incident, Stone had multiple outstanding warrants in various jurisdictions. Charges listed in those warrants included burglary, auto theft, and failure to appear on drug-related charges.

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

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The state’s transportation leaders envision passenger rail systems statewide, an overall infrastructure that will change and improve with technology and more private investment used to fund vital future projects. Three of them spoke about the metro area’s transportation system during an Oct. 2 Denver South Economic Development Partnership breakfast at the Lone Tree Arts Center. They praised south metro Denver leaders for partnering in financing the recently begun I-25 lane-balancing project, future C-470 expansion and the southeast light rail extension. “This is the way transportation needs to work in Colorado and it doesn’t work that way everywhere,” said Colorado Department of Transportation executive director Don Hunt. As fuel-efficient cars and changing driving habits decrease gas tax revenues, the men said similar collaborations are the key to future improvements. Without them, Colorado’s economic future could dim. Hunt said Denver’s major thoroughfares likely will undergo one more reconstruction, but no more. “After that, we’d better look to technology for the solution,” he said. “We’re not going to

be able to widen them (anymore). You could make the case after we finish the lane-balancing project, we have what we will have for the future. We need to learn to manage them better.” Technology will play a major role in doing so, Hunt said, enabling highway engineers to adjust ramp meters and toll lanes almost instantly based on shifting demand. “The long-term really has to do with better technology in vehicles and the entire smart highway system,” Hunt said. “We’re not that far away from more automated vehicles that will travel more smoothly on the highway system and increase capacity.” The continued expansion of mass transit also is key to easing pressure on highways. “We want to find a way to accommodate growth for high-speed rail all over the state,” RTD general manager Phil Washington said. “I see high-speed rail coming.” While some large portions of the planned FasTracks light- and commuter-rail line remain unfunded, 2016 will see the opening of several long-awaited projects. Among them: The 10-mile I-225 Line, the 6.5-mile Northwest Rail Line from Union Station to Westminster, and the 23-mile East Commuter Rail Line from Union Station to Denver International Airport. “In 2016, with all these openings, we are going to have tremendous momentum in this state to do bigger and better things,” Washington said. Groundbreaking on the $207-million southeast light rail extension, which will add

Lone Tree, Douglas County, RidgeGate and the Denver South Transportation Management Authority are contributing a total of nearly $40 million toward the line’s construction. Creative partnerships like those and other financing avenues have earned the state a reputation for being visionary and progressive, Washington said. He intends to build on that. “Everything that we talked about leading up to the FasTracks election is happening

Cherry Creek trail gets link to park Bayou Gulch facility gains new connection By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com A new trail will connect Bayou Gulch Regional Park to the Cherry Creek Regional Trail. Douglas County Open Space director Cheryl Matthews said the new connector trail will go from Bayou Gulch Regional Park, located at 4815 Fox Sparrow Road south of Parker, through Bayou Gulch Open Space on the south side of Bayou Gulch Road, under Highway 83 west to the Cherry Creek Regional Trail. Bayou Gulch Regional Park hosts a recreation area, an off-leash dog park, a newly constructed mountain-bike skills course, 1.48 miles of concrete trail and 4.68 miles of soft-surface multi-use trail. “We know from talking with some of the people living around the open space that they really wanted to be able to connect to Cherry Creek,” Matthews said. The connector trail extends from the west side of the park where it crosses Bayou Gulch Road at a self-activated stoplight. A soft-surface trail encircles the 276-acre open space and is open to pedestrians and equestrians only. The connector trail running west from where it crosses

now,” he said, referring to the voter-approved 0.4-percent FasTracks tax passed in 2004. “We talked about creating 10,000 jobs at the height of construction; we’re at 10,300. We talked about injecting $2.7 billion into the local economy; we’re at $3.3 billion. We talked about transit-oriented communities popping up around our stations; there are two to three stories every week about some development happening around transit. Everything we thought would occur … is happening. And we’re going to see more of it.” Despite the success of FasTracks, Hunt said 85 percent of all trips still are made by road. “It’s hard to move that number,” he said.

Police: Lock your car doors

Bayou Gulch Road to the Cherry Creek Regional trail is open to pedestrians, bicyclists and equestrians. The peripheral trail and the connector trail provide four miles of public access for users. According to Matthews, the peripheral trail may be closed from time to time during the summer months to accommodate equestrian events at the Colorado Horse Park; the connector trail will remain open at all times. The horse jumps and the trails leading to the jumps are the private property of the Colorado Horse Park and are not open to the public. “I’m not sure too many people know about it yet, but the trail is open to the public,” Matthews said. “No one will get mad if they see you riding on it. It’s ready to be enjoyed.” The mountain-bike skills course is almost finished and should be officially open to the public in the next couple of weeks. Douglas County has protected 49,272 acres of open space through both purchase and conservation easements. There are 10 trailheads accessing nearly 77 miles of soft-surface trails that are available to the public for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. In addition, the county manages 13 active parks, the Cherry Creek Regional Trail, the East-West Regional Trail, and the High Line Canal Trail from Titan Road and Highway 85 to Waterton Road.

Thieves target unlocked vehicles in three neighborhoods Staff report One of Douglas County’s top crimes continues to plague suburban neighborhoods. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office calls them “vehicle trespasses,” namely because the term “break-in” does not always apply. That was the case the night of Oct. 6, when items were stolen from 13 unlocked vehicles in the Cottonwood, Parker North and Parker Heights subdivisions. That was followed by another nine the next night. While the “rash” of crimes was isolated to the three northern neighborhoods, it’s important for car owners in all areas of Parker to take precautions, said Ron Havanan, public information officer for the sheriff’s office. Aside from the obvious recommendation to lock the doors, police are telling people to remove all items of value from their vehicle. Some of the stolen property was in plain sight and the suspects are simply looking for a “crime of opportunity,” Havanan said. Witnesses should call police right away and take note of details, including a description of any vehicle that might be associated with the thieves. Hanavan said homeowners should not confront them and allow police to do their job. “You never know who you’re dealing with,” he said. Vehicle trespasses are among the top five most reported crimes in the county.

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

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Five words that do not normally go together when talking about a governmentbacked project are: On time and under budget. But that feat was what state officials were hailing on Oct. 2 as part of a ceremony to mark the reopening of the Capitol dome. A three-year, $17 million restoration project was needed to fix and renovate a 120-year-old dome that has seen weathercaused deterioration over the years. Gov. John Hickenlooper said the project’s success is “a symbol of the resilience of this state.” “This is a gift we’re giving for generations in the future,” he said. Colorado’s harsh freeze and thaw cycles made the repairs necessary. In 2006, corrosion to the dome caused a 10-pound piece of iron to fall, which led to the closing of the observation deck and the installation of a netting system. Repairs commenced after lawmakers created a package of bipartisan bills four years ago to fund the restoration. During much of the project, the dome was cloaked in scrim and scaffolding. It wasn’t until early this year that part of the dome was revealed from under the draping. Workers replaced the deteriorating metal fasteners with stainless steel. The original copper panels were replaced and the lightning protection system was enhanced, according to state architect Larry Friedberg.

The dome was re-gilded with 65 ounces of gold that came from parts of Colorado that included Cripple Creek and was later prepared in Florence, Italy. “Today, the sun shines bright on this beautiful October day,” said state Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch. The dome observation deck — which offers spectacular views of Denver — was

reopened to the public shortly after the ceremony. For visitors like Josiah and Hannah Goering of Chicago, the timing couldn’t have been more impeccable. The two were visiting Colorado and specifically had a trip to the Capitol on their todo list because Hannah’s grandparents had taken a picture of themselves on the Capitol

steps during their honeymoon some 67 years ago. “We came here to recreate the photo,” she said. “We even brought black and white film.” Had their trip occurred a week earlier, they wouldn’t have been able to view Denver’s skyline from atop the Capitol. “It’s a happy coincidence,” she said.

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

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

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

Golf at the top tier New company brings unique approach to game to Centennial Staff report City councilmembers took the first swings at a groundbreaking ceremony Oct. 3 on the 13 acres of property in Centennial that will soon be home to a new company called Topgolf. The company offers a unique approach to golf where people aim for targets, rather than holes, from an open-faced, tiered building. The building, located near the corner

of South Havana Street and East Easter Avenue, will be three levels with a total of 102 bays where six individuals can play a game, which is scored similar to bowling. Topgolf director of sales and marketing, Susan Walmesley, estimates the company will bring 450 jobs to Centennial and is expecting to be open for business in the spring of 2015. The company, which started in London in 2000 but is now based in Dallas, has 13 locations in the United States and, including the Centennial location, 10 more under construction. Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon said she is excited to have Topgolf opening in the city for its first location in Colorado. “It’s a really great social activity,” she said, “even for the non-golfers.”

NEWS IN A HURRY Pumpkin patch open through Halloween

The Flat Acres Farm pumpkin patch, southwest of Twenty Mile Road and Dransfeldt Road across from SuperTarget, is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week through Oct. 31. Families can pick out pumpkins of different shapes and sizes, including “pie,” medium, large, extra-large, and even white pumpkins. On its website, Flat Acres Farm says it is going to be growing some “extra extra large monsters” this year. In addition to pumpkins, visitors can buy honey from the farm’s beehives, gourds of different shapes and sizes, as well as corn stalks and straw bales.

Celebrity art exhibit coming to PACE Center

Starting Oct.10 and running through Nov. 14, the PACE Center Art Gallery is hosting a special exhibition that features photographs of celebrity musicians taken by one of Colorado’s most renowned photographers: Jensen Sutta. The exhibit’s opening reception is from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 16. It is open to the public and includes live music, hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar and an artist talk. Sutta has photographed politicians like President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush, Hollywood celebrities such as Nicole Kidman and Samuel L. Jackson, and musical greats including B.B. King. When asked how he narrowed down the selection for the PACE Center’s exhibit out of all the photographs he has taken, Sutta said, “It was a choice to pick subjects that I feel would have the widest range of appeal… Politicians are polarizing (these days), actors are not heroes, landscapes are fairly common… but music is universal!” Sutta’s exhibition at the PACE Center will feature photographs of Jack Johnson, Kenny Rogers, Don Felder (Eagles), Merle Haggard, Brad Paisley and George Strait.

Partners to celebrate at new library site

The Town of Parker and Douglas County Libraries will celebrate the next chapter of their partnership at 10:30 a.m. Oct. 21. The public is invited to the “We Dig Books” celebration, which will take place on the building site of the new Parker Library, located on the northwest corner of Mainstreet and Pine Drive, just across from Parker Town Hall. The youngest guests will enjoy story time and the opportunity to dig for special gifts before Parker Mayor Mike Waid and library director Bob Pasicznyuk escort them to the future library site, where they will be able to have their pictures taken with a large construction vehicle.

Graphics and diagrams of the proposed Parker Library, as well as the planned surrounding park area, will be on display, and local dignitaries will share a few words before story time begins. DCL is also inviting the public to an open house at its current Parker location, 10851 S. Crossroads Drive, from 1 to 6 p.m. Oct. 21. The drop-in event will feature floor plans, 3-D models and design details.

All 64 county clerks in Colorado must begin issuing same-sex marriage licenses after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear all appeals on gaymarriage bans Oct. 6, Colorado Attorney General John Suthers said. Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Jack Arrowsmith said the county will follow the ruling, and according to county spokeswoman Wendy Holmes same-sex marriage licenses would begin being issued in the county on Oct. 7. “Our position in Douglas County is that we are committed to following the law in all matters governing the operation of the clerk and recorder’s office,” Arrowsmith said. The ruling effectively paves the way for marriage equality for all people in Colorado. “We have consistently maintained that we will abide by the Supreme Court’s determination on the constitutionality of marriage laws. By choosing not to take up the matter, the court has left the 10th Circuit ruling in place,” Suthers said in a statement. “We expect the 10th Circuit will issue a final order governing Colorado very shortly. Once the formalities are resolved, clerks across the state must begin issuing marriage licenses to all same-sex couples. We will file motions to expedite the lifting of the stays in the federal and state courts and will advise the clerks when to issue licenses.” Federal and state judges in Colorado have previously struck down the state’s ban on same-sex marriage but they

also implemented stays in those cases pending U.S. Supreme Court action. Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) applauded the ruling. “We are a stronger, better state when all couples are able to publically affirm their shared commitment and responsibilities to one another through marriage,” Udall said in a statement. “The U.S. Supreme Court’s move to let the Denver-based 10th Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision in favor of marriage equality stand is a win for all Coloradans. “We should celebrate what this will mean for so many of our friends, family members and neighbors. And while this is an important milestone for our state and for other states around the country impacted today, we still have work to do to ensure equality for Americans nationwide.” Andrew Romanoff, a Democratic candidate for the U.S. House (6th Congressional District), released a statement following the Supreme Court’s decision. “Today’s news represents a major victory for every American who values freedom and fairness. I’m glad that Colorado will now be able to join a majority of the union in extending a fundamental right to all of our citizens.” U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Denver, who serves the 1st Congressional District, spoke out in favor of the ruling as well. “Today marks another important step toward full equality: the Supreme Court declined to take up appeals from gay marriage opponents in five different states,” she said in a statement. “This means that those five states — and others including Colorado — should soon overturn marriage bans. The Colorado Supreme Court should promptly accept this decision and let all loving couples choose to marry freely. And the day is soon coming that everyone in the nation will enjoy this basic right.”

Rocky Vista recognizes military students

On Sept. 26, Rocky Vista University hosted its fourth annual military appreciation ceremony at its campus on Chambers Road north of E-470. The ceremony honors the school’s new and current students who serve in the military, as well as visiting dignitaries. The health sciences university enrolls students in a four-year program of study leading to a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree. To recognize prisoners of war and those missing in action, Anthony LaPorta, MD, FACS, professor of clinical surgery and course director of the military track at RVU, narrated the Missing Man/POW Remembrance Ceremony, with each branch of the military represented by a hat and place setting at an empty table. Special guest retired Maj. Gen. Philip Volpe, DO, who was part of the battle portrayed in “Blackhawk Down,” offered advice for the new military doctors: “Keep a positive attitude, be a team player, put your best foot forward every day, bloom where you’re planted, and finally, make sure you take care of your buddies.”

GERARD HEALEY President and Publisher CHRIS ROTAR Editor RYAN BOLDREY Assistant Editor CHRIS MICHLEWICZ Community Editor VIC VELA State Desk and Legislative Editor RON MITCHELL Local Sales Manager

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

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

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

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

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

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

Community remembers Carolyn Vickers Daughter of Coleman fame once married to founder of Breckenridge By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Family and friends remembered Carolyn “Cally” Vickers at a memorial service Oct. 3 at St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Centennial. Vickers, a resident of Castle Rock, passed away from natural causes Sept. 19 at her home in Indian Wells, Calif., where she and her husband Jack spent the winter months. Vickers was 84 years old. Vickers was born in Wichita, Kan. to Georgia and Sheldon Coleman on Dec. 3, 1929. She was the second of two daughters. Her father, Sheldon Coleman, was a great outdoorsman, known best for his development of the Coleman Company and its line of camping products. Cally spent much of her youth in the outdoors — camping, fishing, hunting, and testing the very products that the Coleman Company sold. “Cally knew how to camp and hunt and fish and golf,” The Rev. Msgr. Dan Dillabough said. “She was never afraid to take a chance.” In 1949, at the age of 19, in her hometown

of Wichita, she met and married Ralph Cooper “Bill” Rounds, of Rounds & Porter Lumber Co. Rounds later became the co-founder of Breckenridge Ski Area. To this day, one of the ski runs is still named after her (Callie’s Alley). Bill and Cally were married for 20 years and had three children, Becky, Bobby and Cooper. Vickers and Rounds divorced in the early 1970s and in 1976, she married Jack Vickers and moved from Wichita to Denver. During the years The International PGA golf tournament was played at the Castle Pines Golf Club, 1986-2006, she and Jack hosted numerous events at their home for tournament sponsors and players. “I believe Cally used her gifts in the ways that mattered most,” Dillabough said. “She showed us how to make a family and a home and a community, or at least she made Castle Pines a community.” Vickers is survived by her husband, Jack, her three children, Becky (Doug) Neuman of Ashland, Ore., Bobby Rounds of Los Angeles, Cooper Rounds of Austin, Texas, her sister Virginia Coleman of Wichita, Kan., her halfbrother Sheldon (Kathy) Coleman of Indian Wells, Calif., her grandchildren Alex Neuman, Carolyne Neuman, J. Cooper Rounds, Jessica Rounds, Hutton Rounds, Hailey Rounds, and her six step-children (Jack, Lindsey, Nancy, Susie, Gary, Greg) and six step-grandchildren (Alexandra, Alan, Justin, Hutch, Sean, Caitlin).

The life of Carolyn Vickers was celebrated Oct. 3 at St. Thomas More Catholic Parish in Centennial. Vickers, a resident of Castle Rock, died Sept. 19 in her winter home in California. She was 84. Courtesy photo

Trading Post hitches wagon to community Events connect locals with family farms, ranchers By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com A network of Colorado farmers, ranchers and local food producers are reviving the idea of the historical trading post. Historically, the Trading Post is a community center where locals pick up their essential provisions and enjoy the exchange of ideas and neighborliness. Now, a collective of modern Colorado farmers and ranchers are hoping to revive the concept with a series of events that aim to bring local and food producers together. There inaugural Farm2Table Trading Post event will be at the CALF, Lowell Ranch, 2330 S. I-25 East Frontage Road, in Castle Rock from 9 a.m. to noon Oct. 18th. The Castle Rock Trading Post is scheduled to take place every third Saturday of the month. “For local farmers and ranchers it can be really tough to turn a profit while competing with big business. During the summer months we do go to farmers markets

and things like that, but come winter time most people end up going back to Safeway or King Soopers,” Trading Post Founder Neil Fischer said. “It’s a plight shared by every local farmer in Colorado.” Fischer described the Trading Post as a non-produce farmers market where everything from meats to locally grown potatoes and mushrooms will be available. Participants in the Trading Post rally around the idea that healthy food is a matter of integrity and trusted relationships and that Farm2Table Trading Post will become a symbol for that trust as a reliable local food source. Fischer said he hopes the Trading Post will provide the growing number of people concerned about where and how their food is made with an alternative that both provides them with a higher quality of food and allows local farmers and ranchers to create a more sustainable business model. Events also feature educational demonstration or presentation on the growing, preserving, or cooking of healthy food. Items are offered in “mini-bulk” or family-sized quantities, which means they can keep distribution costs to a minimum. You can buy online directly from any of the producers by placing your order (by noon Wednesday) with the Trading Post of

your choice, where your food will be waiting for your pickup the following Saturday morning. According to Trading Post, they represent only local producers they know personally and who are committed to the highest standards of quality, safety, freshness and sustainability. Grass-fed meats come from compassionately-raised animals that are not exposed to pesticides, herbicides or GMOs and chickens enjoy the finest organic feed and plenty of pasture forage. “Most people have no idea where their food comes from. They go to the store and pick it up and they have no idea how it was raised or what it ate or who it was raised by,” Fischer said. “We want to connect our farmers and ranchers directly with the people

who buy their products. We want people to be able to go up and talk to the person that raised their beef or chicken and ask questions and create a connection.” The Castle Rock event will also include live music, food from local farms, organic baked goods, coffee, homesteading demonstrations and a drop-in visit from Buffalo Bill Cody and Anne Oakley. “In Colorado we export 97-98 percent of the food we produce to other places and we import 90-91 percent of what we eat,” Fischer said. “That’s not a sustainable. We hope that with these events we can not only provide local food for the people of Colorado but also educate people as well.” For more information about the trading post and their upcoming events, visit farm2tabletradingpost.com

ELECTION 2014: THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR

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

Challenger doubles down on tough approach

By Vic Vela

John Hickenlooper doesn’t worry about whether people “get” him. His “aw, shucks,” nerd-like personality and his imperfect — and sometimes meandering — way of speaking are a far cry from anything that resembles a polished, focusgroup-driven politician. Through three elections, the quirky Hickenlooper brand has resonated with voters, as evidenced by a landslide win for governor in 2010, and before that, two decisive victories in Denver mayoral races. But it is that same style that has left him wide open for political attacks. He has become fodder for Republican press releases that blast the governor as being a wishywashy failed leader who struggles while deciding over a breakfast menu, much less over areas of public policy. “Obviously, I’m a different kind of politiJohn Hickenlooper, cian, but that’s what most people said they wanted,” said Hickenlooper during a recent Colorado governor one-on-one interview with Colorado Community Media from inside his re-election campaign office in Denver’s Lower Highland neighborhood. “They said they’re sick of the same old talking head who gets up in there in a robotic done him any favors this campaign. Sometimes when the governor speaks, fashion and says the same platitudes that we’ve heard for a million years. That’s one of the result is reminiscent of the Grateful Dead the reasons why people like me run for office. during an off night — the trademark style is there, but it will sometimes run off the rails, I think people deserve more.” Hickenlooper has heard the criticism leaving those listening scratching their heads. His decision last year to grant a reprieve before. But as he enters the final stretch of a tight re-election campaign against former to death-row inmate Nathan Dunlap — who Congressman Bob Beauprez, he prefers to killed four people inside an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993 — was met with talk about his economic record as governor. There is no question that the economy confusion and criticism. And in television interviews this year, the has gained steam and jobs have been created under his watch. And he largely received governor said that he has moved away from praised for his response to crises that made being a supporter of the death penalty (he national headlines, such as the Aurora the- told voters in 2010 that he was in favor of ater shooting, wildfires and last year’s state- capital punishment). wide flooding. Mpulse_CCM East_10.2.14.pdf 1 9/26/14 2:43 PM But Hickenlooper’s own words haven’t Hickenlooper continues on Page 14

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

stronger and created jobs on his watch. But Beauprez believes voters now have the appetite to oust a governor who won his seat in a landslide in 2010 and whose quirky personality has both endeared him to supporters and irked his detractors. Beauprez spent the entire summer blasting Hickenlooper for “failing to lead” on the issue of the death penalty, having been highly critical of the governor’s decision to grant a reprieve to death-row inmate Nathan Dunlap, who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993. Beauprez said Hickenlooper should have either chosen to go forward with the Beauprez continues on Page 14

State tightens rules for pot businesses Normalizing doses of edibles is among new regulations By Katie Kuntz Rocky Mountain PBS I-News Medical and retail marijuana dispensaries are getting about 30 new rules related to almost every aspect of their businesses. The state Marijuana Enforcement Division released the new rules Sept. 24. They change everything from the start-up licensing fees to rules for cultivation, production, edibles, sales, employee training and product testing. The rules go all the way down to a hand-washing requirement. State officials have contended that Colorado’s new recreational marijuana industry is a work in progress, and these new standards underscore that fact. “I think the new rules make a lot of sense,” said Mark Slaugh, CEO of iComply, a cannabis industry compliance and consulting firm. “We’re putting out consumer

education and teaching business owners and workers how to be responsible vendors. From a business decision, it’s a no-brainer.” Among the new rules is a revision of a proposal that caused an uproar at a hearing earlier in September: production caps on greenhouse or outdoor grows. The proposed rule would have allowed greenhouses to produce only half the amount of plants allowed at indoor or warehouse operations. The new rules do not make that distinction and allow the same number of plants, 3,600, for the first-level cultivation process. “I think that the state really listened to the greenhouse workers and was responsive to the impassioned testimony,” said Meg Collins, executive director of the Cannabis Business Association, and one member of the work group committee writing the production rules. In the new rules, the enforcement division also established minimum “responsible vendor training” requirements along with minimum public health and safety requirements for anyone manufacturing edible marijuana products. The state has issued 18,666 marijuana occupational licenses. Each individual with a license will be required to meet new minimum training standards if hired by a shop, cultivation center, testing facility or product manufacturer. There are 496 licensed medical shops and 242 recreational stores in Colorado. The state has received 177 additional applications for recreational stores and grow operations that could be approved by October 1. “I believe it’s our responsibility to be as safe as we can be and make sure every bud tender and customer knows what to expect,” said Brian Ruden, a retail and medical marijuana store owner in Denver, Louisville and Colorado Springs. “It’s just better for the industry to err on the side of caution when the whole country, everyone is looking at the industry now.” A s i d e from safety and health training, new rules will also normalize the amount of marijuana found in any edible — ensuring that a sin-

gle serving size has no more than 10 milligrams of active THC, the intoxicating chemical in marijuana. “So that could be something as small as a peanut butter cup or bonbon or as large as a soda,” said iComply’s Slaugh. “If there is more than one serving in the product, it has to be easily identified.” The serving size rule is meant to ensure a more safe consumption of edible marijuana. Edibles have a greater risk for over-consumption because the digestion of marijuana causes a later onset of the effects. Some people respond by eating more. Testing requirements have also changed. The Marijuana Enforcement Division will not only require testing for potency in edibles, but also for chemicals like pesticides and for the presence of fungi. “I already spend a small fortune every month testing and that is only going up because of all the other things they are testing,” Ruden said. “I’m excited for more responsible regulation, but frustrated with the expenses, the licensing fees, taxes and testing.” Others expressed concern about what the new rules don’t include. Marijuana testing facilities will only test product from licensed cultivation centers, not home growers or medical marijuana caregivers. “We’re still not able to know how to dose,” said Ashley Weber, medical marijuana patient and caregiver advocate. “From a caregiver’s side, not being able to test means you don’t know what you’re giving your patient and you are never going to be able to be on a consistent level.” Parents whose children have epilepsy that is treated with medical marijuana won’t know if they are overmedicating those children, she added. The enforcement division has not yet considered expanding testing services to caregivers. Others were concerned that the mass of new regulations might mean more costs, and continuing competition from the black market. “The more rules you have, the more challenging it is, because we are driving up the price,” Slaugh said. “We can offer a consistent, safe product and a wider variety and you don’t have to deal with a drug dealer. I think the legitimate market will always drive away the black market — except for the price.” Colorado Community Media brings you this report in partnership with Rocky Mountain PBS I-News.

Hickenlooper Continued from Page 10

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

No to negative ads

Hickenlooper said his political opponents are “looking for anything they can get” to defeat him, while ignoring his accomplishments. The governor said he is proud of his work during the flooding that ravaged many parts of the state last year. While rain was wreaking havoc, the governor held a meeting with Colorado Department of Transportation administrators, during which he urged them to reopen roads around Lyons and Estes Park more than a month ahead of the time they believed was possible. Had those roads not reopened when they did, Hickenlooper believes businesses in those small towns would have shut down. “We made that decision in 48 hours while the rain was still falling — and we

October 10, 2014 no apologies about his comments when asked them during his interview with Colorado Community Media. “It’s true,” Beauprez said as he leaned over the table for emphasis. Beauprez cited a 2013 Denver Post article that reported that 110 parolees were let directly out of solitary confinement and onto the streets in a single year. As for whether people think he comes across as prickly, Beauprez said, “I take the job seriously.” “Most people that know me know that I’m a pretty good grandpa, that I’m a pretty good dad. I’ve been a very good husband, so I’ve got that side to me as well,” he said. “But this isn’t about who you want to go have a beer with or shoot a game of pool with. This is about who can lead this state.” Beauprez, who is pro-life, has also been on the defensive on women’s issues of late. Although abortion and contraception topics have played a big role in Colorado’s U.S. Senate race, they only became a focal point in the campaign when Beauprez said during a Denver Post debate that intrauterine devices (IUDs) are abortifacients, meaning a drug that causes abortions. Beauprez’s view is not backed by the Federal Drug Administration, which classifies the device as one that prevents pregnancies, not ends them. Beauprez told Colorado Community Media that he believes women should use whatever birth control they want, “but I don’t think taxpayers ought to be funding that.” Beauprez said that when Hickenlooper and Democrats try to attack Republicans on issues like abortion and birth control, they are guilty of trying “to change the subject.” “People are so hungry for people to address the real issues in this campaign, but (Democrats) don’t want to talk about it,” he said. With voters set to receive mail ballots soon, it is hard for Beauprez or any other office-seeker to get away from politics. When he does, Beauprez likes to retreat to his bison ranch, time away that he said is “almost like therapy.” When asked if there are similarities between bison ranching and politics, Beauprez let out a hearty chuckle and said, “Good question.” “With bison you don’t change their minds much,” he said. “You kind of have to convince them, cajole them, but mostly you have to encourage them and wait it out and be patient. “And maybe that is a parallel (to politics), that you can’t always do it on your time, your schedule, your way. You’ve got to make sure and bring them along.”

In-store purchases can be made at The Tattered Cover bookstores, or online at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. The next book, “Mish and Tish: Fun in the Garden,” is scheduled to be out by November, Ingrid Pyka said, and there are another eight books either “ready to go” or in “strong concept production.” “Of course, when kids submit theirs, we’ll have an endless supply,” she said. Although Ingrid Pyka’s dream is for children all over the world to have access to Mish and Tish adventures, her desire is

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

WAYS TO CUT YOUR WINTER ENERGY COSTS

Highlands Ranch native competes on America’s Next Top Model By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Matthew Smith does not like labels, but what the 2008 Mountain Vista High School graduate does advocate is the importance of acceptance. The idea behind Smith’s NO LABELS clothing line and message is to eliminate stereotypes, regardless of race, sexual preference or religious affiliation. Smith, 24, believes it is more important to learn who a person is before what a label portrays them to be. “Labels are demeaning and dehumanizing,” he said. “Labeling is a horrible habit and makes people lazy before they get to know somebody.” Smith resides in Los Angeles, and NO LABELS came about when the actor/model appeared on the TV show “America’s Next Top Model,” cycle 21, which The CW began airing on Aug. 18. In episode five, contestants were assigned to work in pairs with the task of posing seductively together in a photo shoot for a faux fragrance. Smith was partnered with Will Jardell, a gay man, but Smith did not let the difference of sexual preference deter him. Nor did he let a kiss that someone dared them to do ruin their friendship. “I told everyone I stand for no labels,” Smith said. “I encourage people to get to know someone first.” He added he is comfortable and confident within himself, therefore, would not judge Jardell’s character simply because Jardell had been labeled as gay. Smith has always had an acceptance of people for who they are deep down, his mother, Rene Smith-Tomczak, said. “He’s been exposed to a full range of people and their choices,” she said. “He’s always loved all people. There’s no limit, anybody can be his friend.” America’s Next Top Model is televised in 186 countries, Smith said. Still, he did not expect the NO LABELS concept to become as widespread as it has. “Talking about it, it sounds simple,” he said, “but feedback has been overwhelming and awesome.” He has received fan mail from people all over the world, Smith said. One young male in Indonesia wrote him and said before he heard Smith’s message, he had considered committing suicide after being shunned in

Matthew Smith, a contestant on the current cycle of America’s Next Top Model, travels from Los Angeles to visit his hometown of Highlands Ranch as often as possible, he said. The message promoted through his NO LABELS clothing brand is gaining international recognition. Courtesy photo society for his sexual preference. “He has a great message for the world,” Smith-Tomczak said. “Society wants to put labels on everything and everyone. Sometimes, the labels make people feel bad about themselves.” The NO LABELS clothing brand is starting to be mass-produced, Smith said, and recently formed a partnership with Rocky Mountain Flag Company, which is based in Aurora. Smith visits Highlands Ranch as often as possible, and said he is excited that NO LABELS, something Smith believes will become a global concept, ultimately started in Highlands Ranch. “Community is important,” Smith said, “it molded me into who I am.” Smith’s former marketing teacher at Mountain Vista, Sheri Bryant, who is now the career and technical coordinator for the Douglas County School District, said Smith had always been charismatic and confident, so she is not surprised that he found success. But the avenue is not what she expected. “Modeling landed in his lap,” she said, “he’s had to work hard to keep true to his character.” Bryant believes Smith’s message speaks well to teens and young adults. It teaches them that a label is not something they want to be a part of, she said. Compared to Los Angeles, people are friendly in Highlands Ranch because they’re allowed to be, Smith said, and it’s important to teach kids that they can accomplish anything they want. It may seem like a “massive idea,” he said, but “keep raising the bar. Push to think bigger.”

Castle Pines elk freed from sticky situation By Jane Reuter jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com A Castle Pines-area elk was freed from a barbed-wire fence by a team of wildlife and law enforcement officers this past weekend. A resident in the area reported seeing the animal early on Oct. 4. The elk had entangled its antlers in barbed wire. In an effort to escape, it pulled up about 100 feet of

fencing, 40 feet of which became wrapped around its antlers. “He was tethered to that barbed-wire fence,” said Douglas County Sheriff’s Sgt. Ron Hanavan. Colorado Parks and Wildlife and Douglas County Sheriff’s officers responded to the unusual scene. They tranquilized the elk, enabling them to get close enough to safely remove the wire, and then gave him medication to reverse the tranquilizer’s effects. The animal suffered no apparent lasting effects from his encounter.

“According to guidance from the attorney general’s office, the state board is not statutorily authorized to waive compliance with the READ Act,” education commissioner Robert Hammond wrote to Fagen in a Sept. 24 letter. Hammond wrote that the results of the READ Act tests are included in the formula the CDE uses to calculate school district performance ratings, “… and thus cannot be waived by the state board under the Innovation Act.” An emailed response from DCSD spokeswoman Paula Hans said DCSD offered schools the possible waiver option after “much due diligence, including consultation with legal counsel.” “DCSD understands that we have a difference of legal opinion/interpretation with the CDE regarding the authority and ability of the State Board of Education to provide relief to our students by waiving portions of the READ Act,” the email reads. “Our legal interpreta-

tions may vary, but we are committed to continuing our collaborative work with CDE in the best interest of our students.” Hammond’s letter was not released to Colorado Community Media by the CDE or DCSD, but through a community group. Voices for Public Education filed open records requests with CDE and DCSD. Several community members insist the district isn’t being upfront about its reasons for wanting to use the act. The 2008 legislation was designed to boost academic achievement, freeing schools from statutes and rules related to budgeting, curriculum, teacher contracts and other policies. Voices’ co-founder Amy DeValk is among several parents who believe DCSD wants to become an innovation district, and remove itself from many state requirements. They submitted a petition asking DCSD to hold community meetings and explain its intent, but such meetings haven’t been scheduled. “By putting innovation status on a school, I don’t think people realize it could open up a whole other can of worms,” DeValk said. “It gives the

(DCSD) board of education the opportunity to have a lot more power than they already do. If this was a school board that we had any confidence in or trusted, that would be one thing, but they’re not being upfront with what this means. “In my opinion, they’re starting out with the READ Act because it seems innocuous and like something everybody could support. Once that school has innovation status attached to it, we don’t know what could happen. “Everything they’ve done to this point with pay-for-performance, teacher evaluations, district turnover, public comment at BOE meetings, not holding public forums — if you line everything up, it all adds up to wanting to privatize the school district.” At least 37 schools in four Colorado school districts have been granted innovation status. Most of them are in Denver Public Schools and Falcon School District 49. District 49, east of Colorado Springs in El Paso County, serves 15,000 students over a 133-square-mile rural and urban area.

Galley ran over Feeney with a stolen Ford F-350 when he made his initial escape. “My life changed forever in the matter of a few minutes,” Feeney said, adding that Galley cared more about momentary freedom than Feeney’s life. Galley hung his head during the comments, then delivered a brief statement to the court, saying he was sorry for the harm he caused, including Fee-

nating her hair,” said Cosner, adding that her daughter had been begging to do this ever since her elementary school teacher had done something similar. In addition to donating more than 100 inches of hair, students were able to show support of alopecia areata by wearing long, blue hair extensions.

A 52-year-old Englewood man was killed while crossing Lincoln Avenue at Oswego Street late Oct. 3. Thomas J. Wickham died of multiple blunt force injuries in the accident that occurred at about 10:11 p.m. in

eastern Lone Tree. Police said Wickham was crossing northbound against the traffic signal when he was struck by westbound traffic. Though the case remains under investigation, no one has been charged in connection with the incident. Drivers who spoke with police said the light for westbound traffic was green at the time of the accident. Wickham was transported from the scene to Littleton Adventist Hospital, where he later died from

his injuries. Several new businesses and an apartment complex have recently been constructed along the portion of Lincoln Avenue between Lone Tree and Parker, which means pedestrian traffic has increased, noted Lone Tree Police Sgt. Ryan Gallegos. “It was an unfortunate situation,” he said. “It was dark and those cars just didn’t see him.” Gallegos said victims’ advocates were on call and available for those who’d been involved in the accident.

October is reminder of disease fight

“Castle Rock Feed and Supply,” watercolor by Cindy Welch will be exhibited at QRstorytelling Gallery in October. Courtesy photos

Artist makes splash with exhibit Watercolorist Cindy Welch shows wares at QRstorytelling Gallery By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Additions to the ongoing Cindy Welch Collection — watercolors of local iconic landmarks — will be exhibited starting Oct. 10 at the QRstorytelling Gallery in Castle Rock. They will remain on permanent display, according to gallery director, Lucia McConnell who also exhibits earlier releases by Welch. Cindy Welch is a Colorado native, who started creating art at an early age, winning awards in grade school and at Welch Thomas Jefferson High School in Denver, including a full tuition scholarship to Rocky Mountain College of Arts and Design. She won first place in the National Arts Program, Front Range Showcase in 2011 in Castle Rock, where she has lived for 25 years. She is a member of Greater Castle Rock Art Guild and is represented by the QRstorytelling Gallery. As per her medium, she said, “I love the exciting surprises of watercolor. Mingling colors, the mixing of water and paint, pouring, masking… There’s always something new. My passion is color and making an image more exciting to the viewer with great color while still maintaining a level of realism.” Note: What may look simple to the untrained eye actually takes a great deal of skill and control — watercolor is a tricky medium to master.

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

Rich Grant bids adieu

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

Di Pietro is a New Jersey native and sets this charming story in Hoboken, across from New York City, which we see in the background, but far removed from the hustle and bustle. A lone bench is on the stage as lights go on and we soon learn it’s in a dog park, where Ralph Bellini (John S. Green), a spry octogenarian widower, has spotted an elegant woman who interests him. Carol Reynolds (Christy Brandt) appears after telling her little dog, Peaches, to go play. Joe asks her if she likes opera, introducing a theme that trails through the evening with a handsome, well-dressed young man appearing to sing an operatic aria periodically throughout the play. (On occasion, he also carries a change of clothes or some other item

for Joe and is a vision of young Joe, who once auditioned for the Metropolitan.) Carol replies that she knows nothing about opera and isn’t really interested, but the persuasive Ralph tells her: “Everything in life is so small — you get up, you have your day, you go to bed — small! But everything in opera — someone walks across the stage — they sing an aria! Someone opens a door — another aria! Big emotions, big people, big, big, big!” Carol agrees: “Life should be like that!” A drawback for Ralph is his loud, opinionated sister Rose Tagliatelle (nicely played by Anne E. Butler), who appears at the park to scold him for leaving the house without letting her know. She had moved in to care for him after his wife died and tries to be very controlling. Carol is a threat to her. The playwright has done a good job on shaping the Rose part, edging it with humor, even as she is exceedingly cranky. As the story progresses, we get to see little Peaches briefly — he is actually Butler’s dog and lives with her in Creede year-round. (We are assured in his program bio that he is an active member of the Ladies Aid.)

Chicken special is back

I cornered Denver restaurant mogul Frank Bonanno at one of his booths during Denver Food and Wine recently, and begged, pleaded and cajoled him into bringing back chicken Tuesdays at Lou’s Food Bar, 1851 W. 38th Ave. And although I can’t take total credit for the return of one of my favorite restaurant deals — a half fried chicken (naked, medium or Nashville hot) with two sides and a draft for $20 per person — I certainly added to the popular demand

IF YOU GO “The Last Romance,” a Creede Repertory Theatre production, plays through Oct. 26 at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays; 1 p.m. Wednesdays; 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets: arvadacenter.org, 720-898-7200.

Carol decides to take up opera big time and plans a trip for two to the La Scala in Milan — the ultimate paradise for an opera lover. Director Christy Montour Larson has, with her veteran cast, shaped a sweet, small- scale comedy that leaves an audience smiling. Montour Larson’s message in her notes instructs: “Love and joy are within our grasp. Forget the pain of the past. Don’t let regret hold you back. Sing. Listen. Laugh. Walk. Cook. Pet a dog. Enjoy life. Be like opera — big, bold, loud!” Also the playwright’s message, one is certain.

Denver’s best fried chicken

Yes, I am fried chicken obsessed. Hands down the best fried chicken I’ve ever had comes from a food stand at the annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. But Colorado’s Front Range is no slouch when it comes to cluck. Eater Denver, our edition of the national foodie website, has just released its updated Best Fried Chicken Guide. Here’s which restaurants stood out in the coop: 1. The Bside, 1336 E. 17th Ave.; 2. Steuben’s, 523 E. 17th Ave.; 3. The Squeaky Bean, 1500 Wynkoop St.; 4. Ace, 501 E. 17th Ave.; 5.

Area woman’s stage career blossoming `I Do! I Do!’ actress is Highlands Ranch mom By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Suzanne Nepi of Highlands Ranch happily opened to sold-out audiences in the first weekend of “I Do! I Do!” at the Vintage Theatre in Aurora. She hopes lots of young people see it, since it hasn’t been done in the area recently. She shares the stage with veteran actor/ director Brian Walker Smith in a chronicle of the 50-year marriage of Agnes and Michael Snow (1895-1945), based on Jan de Hartog’s play, “The Four Poster.” Tom Jones wrote the book and lyrics and Harvey Schmidt wrote the music for the popular piece, which Nepi calls “a play, with music.” Nepi speaks highly of Smith — “he’s lovely.” And she talks about her song, “What is a Woman?’’ It is “my life as we speak — every woman from 40 to 80 will relate to that song.” The piece was original written for Mary Martin and Robert Preston, Nepi said. Nepi majored in theater at the Univer-

sity of Maryland, and met her husband Mark after graduation when he was in the pit band for a production she was performing in. The family moved to Colorado about 16 years ago. Mark had been at the Air Force Academy and liked Colorado, so they welcomed an opportunity. Like many in Colorado’s theater community, the family had connections with “Magic Moments” productions that benefit the handicapped. Nepi is getting increasingly active in both straight and musical theater now that her children are older. Mary, a ThunderRidge High School alumnae, graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in theater and is in Los Angeles launching a career, while Peter is a senior at ThunderRidge and looking at colleges. He’s not an actor, but may be interested in film or television,

He is also active in sports. Nepi was cast in “Spring Awakening” last year with Ignite Theatre Company and sang in “The Drowsy Chaperone” in the Stapleton summer production. “I feel very blessed,” she said. “This city is amazing to me … Lots of great regional theater. I’m trying to branch out.” She has been auditioning and had a call-back recently. She will be in a new holiday play at the Edge Theater.

She has also been taking voice lessons, since singing parts are often involved. Opportunities in straight and musical theater cross over here. She studies with Laura High in Littleton. And she has developed a supportive network of moms and church friends in Highlands Ranch, as she lives “somewhere that’s green.” She tries to get them to attend theater in Denver … “to leave the bubble.”

Inside art center is great outdoors `Nature as Subject’ on display in Lone Tree By Sonya Ellingboe

Help us bring you the news and help local charities

“Nature as Subject” will bring the beauty of the outdoors into the Lone Tree Arts Center’s galleries through Nov. 13, according to curator Sally Perisho, who said “the exhibition represents the complexity of nature as interpreted through the eyes of three artists.” She continued: “Works in the exhibition range from (New Mexico artist Jane) Abrams’ pulsating canvases to stand-out woodcuts and monotypes of (Jean) Gumpper and (Betsy) Margolius. Represented by the William Havu Gallery, Denver, the three are re-

cipients of numerous prestigious awards and are included in private and public collections throughout the U.S.” Abrams lives and works in Los Ranchos Village near Albuquerque and is a regents’ professor emeritus at the University of New Mexico. Her career extends over 40 years. Jean Gumpper is a professor and artist-inresidence in the art department of Colorado College in Colorado Springs. Her prints are in national and international collections. Betsy Margolius studied at the Art Students League of New York, the University of New Mexico and the University of Denver, where she received her MFA. Her monoprints have been widely exhibited across the U.S. The gallery at Lone Tree Arts Center is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and prior to performances. The exhibit will run through Nov. 13. Artwork is available for purchase through the LTAC box office. Admission is free.

g Whales are big deal at Denver museum

sons, Opeater aura

rtive ds in here tend ble.”

New Zealand exhibit runs until February By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Whales, the world’s mightiest animals, date back more than 50 million years and are the subject of legends, films and travel. These giants intrigue people of all ages who love to explore aspects of the underwater world. Living in a landlocked state, as we do in Colorado, doesn’t diminish the fascination with ocean life. “Whales: Giants of the Deep” opens Oct. 10 at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and runs through Feb. 16. The exhibit is on tour from the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, which has the largest collection of marine mammals in the world. Readers may be aware of a long relationship between the Maori people of New Zealand and whales, and the custom of whale riding, made famous by the film “Whale Rider” some years ago. Changing attitudes have taken many people from hunting whales to protecting them. The exhibit includes interviews about conservation efforts. Visitors will see life-sized models and more than 20 real specimens, including skulls, skeletons, teeth, rare artifacts and some hands-on objects, as well as digital interactives and immersive projections. Historic cultural objects include weapons made from whale bones and delicate ornaments fashioned from whale teeth.

ABOVE: Two articulated Sperm Whale skeletons are a highlight of “Whales: Giants of the Deep” at Denver Museum of Nature and Science. RIGHT: A visitor can learn whale anatomy at the “Build a Dolphin” interactive exhibit that is here from New Zealand. Courtesy photos

IF YOU GO The Denver Museum of Nature & Science is located at 2001 Colorado Blvd., Denver. For information, visit dmns.org or call 303-370-6000. Whales range in size from the world’s largest animal, the blue whale, to a tiny Hector’s whale, and the family includes dolphins and porpoises. Visitors can crawl inside a life-sized replica of a blue whale’s heart and be awed by the 53-foot-long skeleton of a sperm whale. They can follow a sperm whale on a hunt for a giant squid.

The exhibit also speaks about today’s scientists and new discoveries about the animal’s bodies, feeding methods and vast migration patterns through the Pacific Ocean.

Perhaps a budding oceanographer will leave the museum inspired. Admission to the exhibit is included in the general admission ticket.

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

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

mance Now Theatre Company, South Suburban Symphony Orchestra (now Parker Symphony) and more.

Lions mount comeback to stay perfect Lutheran comes from down 16-0 to pick off Fort Morgan’s upset bid By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com James Willis passed for two touchdowns and ran for another to spark Lutheran’s 22-point rally but he wasn’t finished. For the first time this season Willis, and in the final minute of the game, he was told to play defense. Coming in at safety, Willis made a tackle and intercepted a Fort Morgan pass with 11 seconds left to seal the Lions’ 22-16 victory over the Mustangs in a Colorado 7 League game Oct. 4 at Lutheran. Unbeaten Lutheran, ranked second in the CHSAANow.com Class 3A poll, fell behind 16-0 in the second quarter but scored 22 unanswered points to pull out the win which improved the Lions record to 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the league. Fort Morgan is now 4-2 and 2-1. Willis, a 6-foot-1, 180 pound senior, capped an 80-yard, seven-play drive with seven seconds remaining in the first half by throwing a 9-yard touchdown pass to 6-foot-4 wide receiver Joshua Clausen, who outleapt two defenders to make the catch. In the third quarter, Willis scored on a 29-yard quarterback draw to pull the Lions to within two points and delivered another 9-yard scoring pass, this time to Alex Nemmers with 2:15 remaining in the game. KJ Hall ran for a two-point conversion to push the Lions ahead by six points. Fort Morgan, however, moved to the Lutheran 34-yard line with 24.6 seconds on the clock but Willis intercepted Mustangs quarterback Joey Schneider at the 20-yard line to seal the win. “I hadn’t played defense all year,” said Willis who accounted for 212 total yards in the game. “They put me in. It was coach’s decision. I’m not going to take any responsibility for the interception. Luckily I was in the right place.” Lutheran coach Blair Hubbard called on Willis to make a play. “James is such a heady kid,” he said. “He’s been taking reps at safety most of the year. He’s a kid that when we need a play to be made, we’ll put him in there. That was the first time we put him in on defense but we knew he was always ready to go. We had some kids banged up and we knew he was probably one of the

Willis passed for two touchdowns, ran for another and intercepted a pass in the closing seconds to thwart a late Mustang drive. Photo by Jim Benton freshest we could go to.” Lutheran entertains Englewood at 1 p.m. Oct. 11 and the Lions feel that the comeback win over Fort Morgan was needed. “It was a physical battle,” said Hubbard. “They punched us in the mouth in the first half. We drew up exactly what we wanted the kids to do in the second half and we were able to run the ball a little bit better but we knew we had to put the ball in James’ hands and let him throw to the receivers in the wings. “It was a great test against a playoff caliber team. We knew Fort Morgan would be tough.

We needed a good tough game where we could get some film on some mistakes that were made. Hopefully we will learn from those mistakes.” Willis and Nemmers also believe the way the Lions defeated the Mustangs will help the team. “It was good for us to be tested,” said Willis. “We haven’t been down all season. Fort Morgan was the first team to have us down and they were doing a great job. It was good for us to be down against a really great team, a hardworking team. They weren’t afraid of us, they

came and hit us in the mouth. What makes us a good team, we can come back and I guess we showed it.” “It was rough,” said Nemmers “Our main motto this year is stay silver. First it’s our main team color and staying silver is we don’t want to fold. We could be down by any score and we’re always going to come back. “At halftime our coaches talked to us, you guys have to stick to the motto. We got a little bit of momentum before halftime and we just came out in the second half and played our hearts out.”

Valor holes fourth golf title in six years Falcons finish fourth in Class 5A with three sophomores, one freshman By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com There’s always chatter about Valor Christian’s football team which has captured five consecutive state championships, including the past two in Class 5A. The Eagles football team, however, might have to share a little of the limelight with the boys golf team, which captured the Class 4A state golf title for the fourth time in six years by finishing 23 strokes in front of secondplace Pueblo South at the state tournament held Sept. 29-30 at Walking Stick in Pueblo. “We’ve won four in the last six years and lost in a playoff one other year,” said Valor boys golf coach Jason Preeo. “The football team is still a little bit ahead but that’s alright.” All four Valor golfers finished among the top six in the individual standings in Pueblo. Senior Jake Staiano was second with a 4-under par 140 total to finish two shots behind state champion Taylor Rodriguez of Pueblo South. Staiano tied for the first day lead with a 67 and shot a 73 on the final round. Ross Macdonald carded a 2-under par 70 during the final round and finished third at 2-under 142 while Coby Welch tied for fourth

at 146 and Pierce Aichinger tied for sixth with a 147 36-hole total. “The kids played really well,” said Preeo. “On day two it was windy and certainly a lot more difficult than the first day. All the scores went up a little bit but they hung in there. Ross’ round of 70 was probably just about as good as shooting 67 the first day. The kids were really dealing with a little bit of pressure with the expectations but they came through and played well.” In the Class 5A tournament at the Colorado Springs Country Club, Highlands Ranch was four shots off the lead after a three-player total of 230 for the first round on Sept. 29. The Falcons faded during the final 18 holes and wound up tied for fourth in the team standings at 470, 24 shots behind state champion Coronado. Sophomore Tyler Zang paced Highlands Ranch with rounds of 74 and 78 and was tied for 17th in the individual standings at 152. “We have these babies so we’re lining up with a freshman and three sophomores,” said Highlands Ranch coach James Barker. “The first day we just played kind of mediocre. As a team we played maybe C golf. Coronado didn’t play very well the first day. But we were only four strokes behind after day one so we were in second place after not playing very well. “The second day we might have played our worst tournament of the year and slipped to fourth but we were only three shots out of second. We couldn’t quite pull it off. It’s expe-

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF OCT 6 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) An upcoming trip could create some problems with your schedule unless you tie up as many loose ends as possible before you head out the door. Ask a friend or colleague to help you. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Being eager to start a new project is fine. However, moving ahead without knowing what actually will be expected of you could cause a problem down the line. Ask some questions. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Getting through some recent challenges in good shape might give you a false sense of security. Don’t relax your guard. You need to be prepared for what else could happen.

crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Caution is still advised, even though you think you’re as prepared as you need to be. Keep in mind that change is in your aspect, and you should expect the unexpected. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) The Lion’s gift of persuasion helps you get your points across, even to some of your most negative naysayers. An old friend might seek you out for some advice. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Being sure of your convictions is fine. But leave some room for dissenting opinions. You might learn something that could help you avoid a possible problem later on. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Getting good legal advice on what your rights actually are is the first step toward resolving that pesky problem so that it doesn’t re-emerge at a later date. Good luck. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Longtime relationships work well this week, whether they’re personal or professional. It’s also a good time to invite new friends and colleagues into your life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) This is a good week to do the research that will help you uncover those irrefutable facts that can back you up on your new venture when you most need it. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Change is an important factor in your aspect this week and could affect something you might have thought was immune to any sort of adjustment or “alteration.” AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Being asked to share someone’s deeply personal confidence might be flattering, but accepting could be unwise. Decline gracefully but firmly. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) As wise as you are, you could still be misled by someone who seems to be sincere but might not be. Take more time to assess the situation before making any commitments. BORN THIS WEEK: You like to face challenges that others might try to avoid, and by so doing, you set an example of courage for all. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
