A little nothing to help relax Sensory deprivation takes away distractions By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Any fan of “Seinfeld” knows that there is great significance in the idea of nothing. Steve Skalkowski believes in the concept so much that he left a successful 16-year career in the mortgage industry to start a business devoted to the pleasures of nothing. That is, sensory deprivation, a practice that completely removes daily distractions, if only for an hour or so. Skalkowski converted a 1,200-squarefoot space in the Plaza Center Office Suites formerly occupied by an auto leasing company into Astral Float Spa, the largest sensory-deprivation center in the Denver metro area. He opened his doors in July and has been growing the business ever since. Looking around at the spare walls,
Skalkowski readily admits he still needs to do some decorating; the lone art piece on the wall simply says, “Enjoy the Journey.” And he knows that’s the entire point, the reason why people come. Astral Float Spa’s four sensory-deprivation chambers — each in a private room — resemble futuristic escape pods, and to some they are a gateway to enlightenment and clarity. Freshly removed from a serious relationship and searching for answers, Skalkowski came across a podcast by insightful-butsometimes-vulgar stand-up comedian Joe Rogan, who extolled the benefits of sensory deprivation so much that Skalkowski was convinced to try it. “I had started meditating, but I wasn’t very good at it,” he said. “Every little thing would distract me.” His first experience in an isolation tank was transformative, and Skalkowski is fulfilled when he sees first-time customers have the same reaction. Some are attracted by the idea of utter relaxation, a brief departure from the daily runaround. Nearly
everyone is a candidate: hurried business executives, frazzled stay-at-home moms, overworked students and bruised and battered athletes. “In such a sensory-overloaded society, this sensory deprivation is that escape, because there is nothing in this tank except for you,” he said. “You’re alone with your thoughts and you’re floating, so your body doesn’t exist anymore.” The float tanks, as they are sometimes known, provide enough room to stretch out and are filled with 10 inches of water loaded with Epsom salt. The salt provides enough buoyancy for people to completely relax every muscle in their body and become suspended by the water, with no pressure points. Pitch-black surroundings and an absence of noise make users feel as if they are in space. Once the mind finishes reeling over the physics of it all, a soothing calmness takes over.

Incumbents retain council seats in Parker Holland, Martin notch convincing wins By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com There are two familiar faces and one new one on Parker Town Council, according to unofficial voting results from the Douglas County Clerk and Recorder’s Office. Incumbents Amy Holland and Josh Martin appear to have retained their seats on town council, tallying 8,617 and 7,247 votes, respectively. Renee Williams, a newcomer to local politics, was in third place with 6,496. The next closest opponent was Mark Malsam with 3,522 votes. First-time candidates Mark Schmitt, Mark Lane, Al Bollwerk and Dustin Jensen each had 3,425 votes or less. Holland, Martin and Williams, the three candidates who advertised their runs for office together, gathered with supporters Nov. 4 at the new Vehicle Vault storage facility near Lincoln Avenue and Twenty Mile Road to await the results. Mayor Mike Waid quieted the crowd and read the numbers aloud. The results were greeted with raucous cheers and hugs for the victors.
Eight challengers mounted campaigns for three open seats on council, a six-member board that guides town decisions and approves the annual budget. Holland and Martin were fi rst elected in 2010 and have Holland been instrumental in many of the ongoing projects in Parker, including the new Parker Library, the expansion of the Parker Recreation Center and the redevelopment on King Soopers in Cottonwood. Martin says he is relieved Martin to have the chance to continue working on initiatives he has helped start. “You put so much time and effort into it. Some of these things we’ve been working on since we got elected four years ago,” he said. “A lot of times you don’t get to see the project all the Williams way through.” Williams said she is excited to learn the finer points of the job and maintaining the positive trajectory that the town is following. “It’s going to be a fabulous experience,”
The Douglas County School District’s choice scholarship program finally will be aired before the state’s highest court. Oral arguments in a lawsuit challenging the voucher program are set for 1:30 p.m. Dec. 10 at the Colorado Supreme Court in downtown Denver. That date is more than three years after a Denver District Court judge halted the pilot program by declaring it unconstitutional in August 2011. The Colorado Court of Appeals reversed that decision in Larsen February 2012. “We’re certainly looking forward to entering this phase,” school board president Kevin Larsen said. “It’s our wish they would uphold the decision that stands at the moment.” Plaintiff Cindy Barnard shares Larsen’s sense of anticipation. “I’m confident that we will prevail in the Supreme Court,” said Barnard, a Highlands Ranch resident and president of the nonprofit Taxpayers for Public Education. “It’ll be a bad day for public education if we do not prevail.” Voucher continues on Page 9
GOP sweeps local races Staff report Voters in Douglas County helped decide four races for the state House and one race for the state Senate. Below is a look at the outcomes, with Republicans taking all five races in commanding fashion.
State Senate District 30

Williams, the owner of an in-home health care service, is eager to begin finding ways to bring more housing and adequate transportation for seniors and people with special needs. If the results are made official, the winners will be sworn in during a meeting at town hall in December.
Chris Holbert (R-Parker) held off challenges from Bette Davis (D-Lone Tree) and Eric Price (L-Highlands Ranch) as the trio of candidates vied to replace term-limited Republican Ted Harvey as the representative in this district. As of 1:30 a.m. results showed Holbert (62.6 percent) with 39,618 votes, Davis (33.7 percent) with Holbert 21,340 and Price (3.7 percent) with 2,328. Holbert has spent the last four years as the representative for HD-44.

November 7, 2014
With a little help, it’s a lot like home The door opens and a slight woman with a quick smile, round glasses, comfy gray sweats and short, snowy hair pushes her walker into the hall. Four months ago, Mary Clancy, 89, was living in her Lakewood apartment. But she just couldn’t do it anymore — the cooking, the cleaning, the driving. So she gave her car to a delighted nephew and moved into one of the 111 rooms at the Libby Bortz Assisted Living Center in Littleton. “It’s great here,” she says, unhesitatingly, as she makes her way down the floral-carpeted hall to find the Scrabble game. “If you can’t be at home, this is the next best thing.” The words gladden Dawn Shepherd, who stands nearby, eyes sparkling. But then, she knows the secret to this place. The brick-and-stucco structure was built on a foundation of innovative stubbornness and passionate concern for the well-being of the older community who needed, not only a place to call home, but also one they could afford. “It’s a love thing,” Shepherd says. “There’s tons of love in this building.” The center, just off Main Street in downtown Littleton, opened its doors 20 years ago as one of the country’s first affordable assisted living facilities when Shepherd, now 68, was director of the Littleton Housing Authority. Back then, few assisted living centers existed — the concept was just becoming part of the senior landscape discussion. But what made this building particularly unique was its owner — a housing authority, an agency dedicated to providing housing for low-income families and individuals, one not usually in the business of assisted living. That meant the Libby Bortz center, which would help its residents with the daily care they needed, had to be affordable. To do that, the housing authority worked with a group of creative thinkers with experience in senior housing called The Raleigh Group and Kaiser Aerospace and Electronics, a now-defunct corporation and the tax credit partner that helped finance the project. “The team just got so close,” Shepherd says. “It was really an amazing moment in
time — everyone worked so hard toward an end goal.” The use of federal tax credits allowed the housing authority to save $200 a month per unit and ensure its affordability in perpetuity, Shepherd says. It also made the center one of the first — if not the first — in the country to be financed by tax credits. Today, a one-room apartment at Libby Bortz costs $1,784 a month, well below the national average for assisted living. That includes three meals a day, weekly housekeeping and laundry and medication supervision. The Genworth 2014 Cost of Care Survey, which has surveyed senior care services throughout the country for 11 years, found the national median monthly rate for assisted living was $3,500, an increase of 4.29 percent from 2009. Unforgivably, housing for seniors in this country — at a time in their lives when they should feel safe and comfortable — has instead become “a crushing burden.” The statement comes from SeniorLiving.org, a website dedicated to senior living and retirement, which reports that “finding affordable senior housing may be one of the biggest challenges facing seniors and their loved ones.” And the U.S. Small Business Development Center predicts a significant unmet demand for assisted living facilities by 2020 as the population between 65 and 84 grows by nearly 39 percent. So, where will we live? Most importantly, where can we afford to live with dignity? Shepherd pondered those questions long ago from her office in a subsidized senior apartment building in Littleton where she watched her seniors, as they aged, require
more help with daily living activities. “Their only choice was a nursing home,” she says, “and they didn’t need a nursing home.” Shepherd — who retired from the Littleton Housing Authority (now called South Metro Housing Options) in 2001, but soon took a job heading the housing authority in neighboring Englewood until retiring definitively a year ago — decided to provide a choice. After eight years of planning and work, doors to the center, named after longtime Littleton social worker and housing authority board member Libby Bortz, opened in January 1994. Shepherd interviewed all the prospective residents personally. The move, she says, almost immediately “enhanced their lives and prolonged their lives.” The apartment space was small. But it was their space. “There were enough things that they were giving up in the aging process without having to have a stranger as a roommate,” Shepherd says. “That’s not the way we wanted our grandmother or our own parents to live.” With no kitchens in apartments and a community dining room, the model encouraged socialization. Not isolation. Small changes, such as staff dispensing correct medication and providing laundry service, sparked dramatic changes. Less confusion, more pride in appearance, more confidence. And, there was the warmth that wrapped residents close, because, of course, this was a labor of love. •••
On a recent chilly afternoon, a few days after a 20th anniversary reunion and celebration, piano notes drift into the lobby from the finely appointed dining room. The gas fireplace is lit. A man in his 90s sits in an armchair, eyes closed, whistling softly to the tune, “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head.” Tables the hue of dark cherrywood stand next to tall-backed armchairs and love seats the color of wine, gold and green. Several cozy living rooms are scattered throughout the three floors, along with a courtyard garden, TV rooms and a community kitchen.
Wide, third-floor balconies with white wicker furniture face glorious mountain views. In one hallway is the Salute to Veterans Wall, where portraits of loved ones who served the country continuously flow across a television mounted on the blue wall. Jeanne Whalen, 72, sits on her walker across from the screen, watching for the photos of her two brothers, who served in the Korean War. “Not this one,” she says, eyes on the scrolling pictures. “Not this next one. “The next one is my two brothers. They were in the Korean War.” The photos, taken in the 1950s, identify Dan Whalen, Navy, and Paul Whalen, Air Force. A year apart, they were 10 years older than Jeanne. “I come here every day,” she says, because “I love them and I miss them.” Jeanne, who has emphysema, moved from New York a year ago to be near her daughter. The move has been good. “You get the help you need, and I’ve made lots of friends,” she says. “Praise the Lord for this place.” Downstairs, the only resident who has lived here since the first year arrives from an outing. Virginia Chynoweth, 92, carefully wheels her walker to a chair. She peers through her glasses. “I like everything about it,” she says about her home. She’s able to go wherever she pleases. And, “I feel safe.” In the end, that’s what a home should be — not a crushing burden, just simply safe. Especially when we’re old. For Dawn Shepherd, that means the world. If the time should come, she already knows which room she’d choose. It’d be easy, after all, to live in a place built with love.

Global stature on the rise Business leaders weigh in on 3 million mark in metro area By Amy Woodward and Jane Reuter Staff writers
Denver may be home to more than 600,000 people, but add the surrounding cities and counties, and the Denver metro area is expected to collectively grow to 3 million people. In fact, it may have already happened, a milestone that firmly places the area on the international radar in the global competition for jobs. According to estimates from the State Demographer’s Office, the population may have hit the 3 million mark
Nanci & Steve Trevino CELEBRATING A LIFE WELL LIVED Prearranging your funeral provides you with the opportunity to set the tone of the ceremony, which you might prefer to be more celebratory than maudlin. In most cases, only you have the power to lay out in specific detail exactly how you want your funeral to be conducted. Prearrangement can make it possible for your friends, family, and acquaintances to focus on the blessings of life instead of its loss. If you have entertained such thoughts, give careful consideration to what music, images, and words you would choose to celebrate your life. Decide for yourself how you will be remembered. Then, meet with the funeral director, who can set your plans in action and relieve your family of that burden.

in mid-August, but demographers won’t know for sure until next July, said Elizabeth Garner, a state demographer. In July, the estimated population of the Denver area was 2.951 million people. “The growth that Colorado is experiencing right now is not that unusual,” said Garner, reporting an increase of 78,000 people last year compared to 120,000 people at one time during the 1990s. Typical or not, local political and business leaders are taking notice of the population growth and weighing in about what that means for the area. “It’s a brave new world for us,” said Tom Clark, chief executive of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp. and executive vice president of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce. “At 2 million people, a metropolitan region becomes a perpetual job machine,” he said, citing a study conducted by a research economist in the early 1990s. At the 2 million mark, a city begins to grow its own jobs and becomes self-sustaining, Clark explained. Money stays within the community longer and exits later while wealth and income tend to go up. But at 3 million, a city or in this case — a metropolitan area — makes its debut on the world stage. “Three million begins to put you into a global competition for jobs,” Clark said. In the past, Colorado’s biggest competitors for job locations were Phoenix and Dallas. Today, Colorado’s direct competitors to the south are overshadowed by cities much farther away such as Dublin, Singapore and Toronto. Clark credits transportation build-out, infrastructure and a highly diverse economy for putting the Denver area on the global market. He pinpointed specific areas of the state’s economy that are in line with the U.S. economy — green and fossil energy, health care and wellness, IT, telecom, bio-tech, aerospace and financial services. Most of those industries already are well represented in Douglas County, which is seeing some of the fastest job-growth in the country. That isn’t expected to change anytime soon, with demographers predicting the population to grow by another third from about 315,000 to 478,000 in the next 25 years. Much of that growth will center around light rail, predicts Jeff Holwell, Lone Tree’s economic development director and former chief operating officer for the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. “New investment in office and commercial facilities is frequently moving towards transit and transit-oriented
A GREAT PLACE TO BE
Colorado ranked first in the country for the lowest obesity rate. A study released by Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation considered adult obesity rates by state and reported that every state had obesity rates above 20 percent. Colorado reported the lowest rate of 21.3 percent. A recent study by WalletHub ranked Colorado as the fourth happiest state in the country. The study considered 26 key metrics including emotional health, income levels, and sports participation rates. The top three happiest states in order were Utah, Minnesota and North Dakota. Outside magazine released a ranking of the 100 best companies to work, with 28 of those businesses located in Colorado. Four of the top 10 spots and half of the top 20 were Colorado companies. Sphero, a Boulder-based robotic toy manufacturer, ranked third, the highest spot of all Colorado companies. Also in the top 20 was GroundFloor Media (4th), Zen Planner (6th), New Belgium Brewing (7th), ReadyTalk (11th), Global Works (14th), RoundPegg (15th), Cloud 9 Living (16th), TDA_Boulder (18th), and Adaptive Sports Center (20th).
developments because it’s accessible for their employees,” he said. “It’s becoming a pretty significant driver in new development. Because of that, Lone Tree is very well positioned for that kind of sustainable growth.” Three additional light rail stops are planned in Lone Tree when the southeast extension is constructed, two of them on the currently undeveloped area of Lone Tree east of I-25. Among the goals in the south metro area are investments that will make it a major employment base. “Currently, Lone Tree residents are either driving to Denver or Arapahoe County before they drive to a Douglas County employer,” said Holwell. “As we attract more primary employment, having the option to live and work in the same community is a major goal of our economic development. You can live here and not have to fight the congestion.” The south metro area is already home to several Fortune 500 companies, including CH2M Hill, DISH Network, Liberty Interactive, Western Union and Arrow Electronics. Drawing more large employers, a range of housing options and creating walkable, transit-oriented developments also will help cut down on the traffic and environmental impacts growth is likely to bring. “We’re going to continue to grow whether we like it or not,” Clark said. “You need to be spending money to take good care of those assets that you don’t get back if you screw them up.”

Call-n-Ride keeps on rolling Residents of Highlands Ranch, Parker are heard on transit issue By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Like every other human being, Ted Ruskin has to run errands at the grocery store, the bank and the post office. So the 71-year-old, almost totally blind Highlands Ranch widower is greatly relieved that the RTD Call-n-Ride service has been saved. “Ninety percent of the time,” Ruskin said, “what I need is in the immediate area of the Call-n-Ride.” Ruskin said he uses the service almost every day, and if it were not for the Calln-Ride, he would have no choice but to depend on friends and neighbors to help him get to the businesses where he takes care of his everyday errands. In August, RTD notified Douglas County, the Town of Parker and the Highlands Ranch Metro District that the Call-n-Ride service in Parker and Highlands Ranch was to be discontinued. The main reason being a lack of ridership. The minimum requirement is three boardings per hour, but Highlands Ranch and Parker were producing an average of two per hour, reported Jeff Case, Highlands Ranch Metro District director of public works, at a board study session meeting Oct. 22. However, at public meetings concern-
ing the discontinuation of service, residents who depend on the service voiced their opposition to the cut. “We heard loud and clear from the community that this is a vital asset,” said Eugene Howard, Douglas County’s transit mobility manager. “(It is) a key transportation tool for them to use. We wanted to do what we could to keep it.” Douglas County submitted a draft proposal to RTD on Oct. 21, which a subcommittee within the transportation district voted to accept. On Oct. 28, it became official by a unanimous vote at an RTD board meeting that the service would not be cut. At the Oct. 28 meeting, the RTD board recognized the public outcry to keep the service, and pointed out that at a public meeting in Parker, 47 people showed up Similarly, in Highlands Ranch, 30 people who most need the front-door pick-up transportation service came to voice their opposition to the service cut. The Call-n-Ride service was initiated November 2006. The service is available to anyone, which differs from the RTD Access-a-Ride that serves passengers with disabilities who are unable to use regular buses and qualify for certification under the guidelines established by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Ruskin uses the Access-a-Ride when he needs to go somewhere that is not within the Call-n-Ride service area. He advocates the Call-n-Ride largely because it allows seniors the ability to remain in their homes, he said.
But, he added, it is “very good for all of the community.” He said developmentally disabled people — from teens to adults — benefit from the service. “It allows them to do their tasks and be youthful.” In addition to senior or disabled residents, the service helps many other community members. Tricia Hennessy, of Parker, whose kids use Call-n-Ride to get home from their charter school, said the service not only saves families money but is a “Godsend for working parents.” In addition to people presenting reasons why there is a need for the service at the public meetings, Howard said, it was also obvious there is a strong desire to “make the service more robust.” “The service could benefit from a fresh look,” Howard said. The proposal is to enter an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA). In the Highlands Ranch service area, the IGA will be between Douglas County, RTD and the Highlands Ranch Metro District. In Park-
er, the governmental bodies for the IGA will consist of Douglas County, RTD and the Town of Parker. A transit advisory committee will be formed after all parties agree to the IGAs, Howard said. The committee will evaluate all parts of the service and suggest opportunities to improve it. As far as what will be improved, Howard said, “everything is on the table,” but until the committee is formed and the IGA is approved, no predictions as to what will be changed can be made. But the lack of marketing strategies and the limited destinations of the service were some of the concerns raised by residents. There is an effort to do things as quickly as possible, Howard said. The process will begin as the IGA is being circulated among the three entities, with the hope that evaluations can begin in November. “Once the IGA is signed off by all parties,” Howard said, “we hope to really hit the ground running.”
Pedestrian struck and killed on Halloween California man was crossing South Parker Road near Hess Road By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com The days surrounding Halloween kept the Parker police busy as they made several DUI arrests and responded to an autopedestrian accident that led to the death of a California man. Kevin Alan Moore, 52, of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., died of multiple bluntforce injuries when he was crossing the road on foot and struck by a southbound vehicle on South Parker Road near Hess Road around 1:30 a.m. on Halloween night. Authorities are unsure whether alcohol or drugs were a factor, and the Douglas County Coroner’s office is conducting routine toxicology tests to make
a final determination. Moore died at the scene. The driver of the vehicle that struck Moore stopped and was cooperative. The driver was not intoxicated and no charges have been filed, said Amy Bader, spokeswoman for the Parker Police Department. Between Oct. 31 and Nov. 3, there were five arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. One man was taken into custody early Nov. 1, Halloween night, after rolling his vehicle near the intersection of Wintergreen Parkway and Pine Lane and fleeing. Oscar ChavezMartinez, 22, was later found and taken into custody. Earlier in the day, officers responded to a road rage incident that turned into a criminal mischief case with property damage near the intersection of Hess Road at Motsenbocker Road. Two men were served with a summons for criminal mischief and ordered to appear in court at a later date.

Life can take nightmare turns with dream logic A good friend’s wife had ovarian cancer, time stood still, and then he was handed a different clock. Things that mattered the day before didn’t matter very much. Jack and I were in art school together. He was the best painter in the building. We were on the same intramural basketball team. We listened to the same music. He told me about Country Joe and the Fish. That will give you some idea. I stayed in California for my MFA, and he went to Yale for his. Then years went by, we went in different directions, and I thought that was that. Tyus Edney brought us back together. He did it in 4.8 seconds. Edney dribbled the length of the court against Missouri and scored the winning basket with 0.0 on the clock. I heard from Jack. Off and on, I have been hearing from him ever since, especially in the past few years. Most of the time we talk about the football or basketball teams, but we get around to art and even the edges of politics. He is just as intense as he was in college. He will let you know exactly what he is thinking. Some of his thoughts are not the prevailing ones. Neither are mine, so we are a good match. We were exchanging emails about the football team, and then his emails stopped. He is a well-known Los Angeles-based designer. Projects are coming in and going out all of the time.
Deadlines are always looming. So I didn’t think very much about it. Then I received one of those messages that we all receive — eventually. His wife was in the hospital. It has been a couple of weeks now. She was released after an operation and treatment, but she went back to the emergency room. It has been touch and go, and obviously the football season moved to the back of the bus. Jack stayed in Bacall’s room, and he has been compassionately watchful every single day. It’s been said before: Life, real life, is much more important than games. But games can help get us through some things. It’s hard to explain if you don’t have a team. If you have a team, your heart goes into it. A win brightens the day. We were unbeaten while I was in rehab. It made a difference. At my age, I get a couple of emails like the one about Bacall every year. I have sent
some of my own that were almost like it, only mine didn’t have happy endings. Just endings. I haven’t seen Jack since he left for Yale. That was around 1970. In the past 44 years, a lot of people have gone through my life and out the back door. The Internet is an odd thing, though. I have frequent reunions, usually with former students who want to reminisce. It’s been great to reconnect with Jack. Jack met Bacall at the UCLA extension school in Santa Monica, and I can still remember how he talked about her. He made her sound very intriguing, just like her name. They have been in love ever since. I like success stories when it comes to love. There aren’t enough of them. I cannot imagine what I would do if something happened to Jennifer. I guess we learn these things from others. Maybe even from books and movies. But when it comes right down to it, what do you do? What part of you tells you what to do? Balloons in the room won’t do it. It has to be deeper. And maybe you have to find something in you that you didn’t even know was there. “He would be there all night, and he would be there when Jem waked up in the morning.” (“To Kill a Mockingbird.”) Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Don’t let little things stop big achievements The golf ball rolled across the green on its way to the hole, it seemed like a perfect birdie putt, and then just as it was looking as if it would fall gently into the cup, it stopped one rotation short of going in. The golfers let out a group groan as they watched in confusion, wondering how the ball could have stopped so abruptly. As the golfer approached his ball to tap it in, he noticed the barrier to his birdie … a tiny ladybug. Now the average weight of a ladybug is 0.021 grams, and the weight of a golf ball is 45.93 grams, that’s more than 2,000 times larger than the ladybug. And yet in the battle for the birdie, our little red speckled friend was able to stop the rolling advance of the ball. In previous columns I have written about the “Goliaths” in our lives that need to be defeated or the fact that we need to be dragon slayers and conquer those fire-breathing beasts. The focus was on the perceived bigger problems and opportunities in life that need to be tackled. But how often are we tripped up by the little things? So what are our ladybugs? What is it that is standing in the way of us reaching our goals
and dreams, completing our tasks, and making the most of the opportunities before us? Is it the simple fact of getting started and avoiding procrastination? Could it be as simple as getting better at the details? And maybe it’s just as small as not following through on an action or commitment. For our golfing buddy that ladybug may as well have been a brick wall. And for many of us, myself included, at different times in my life, have allowed something so small to become so huge that it prevented us from success. And there is a saying in golf that goes like this, “100 percent of balls that never make it to the hole will never go in.” And I think that can be said in our personal and professional lives as well. If we leave everything short, if we
continue to allow something little to stop us or slow us down, we may miss the opportunity to be better than average or mediocre while rising to greatness. Having written this column for the past five years, I have gotten to know the community really well through the letters and emails I receive and the back-and-forth correspondence with you all. And I can share with you that just like my buddy Caesar who shared the golf-ball-killing ladybug story above, I know that you are all wanting to realize your truest dreams and desires, not just almost reach them. Not just come close, not settling for par or average, but meet and even exceed your own expectations. So what’s stopping you? Is it a brick wall or is it just a ladybug-size issue that could easily be overcome? I really would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we recognize that the only thing that can stop us from success is us, it really will be a better than good week.

School leaders want fewer laws, more funding Superintendents discuss variety of topics during annual forum By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado school leaders would prefer less legislative involvement but more funding, they said during an Oct. 29 Superintendent Forum in Denver. “I wish the legislators would just trust us as professionals,” said Cherry Creek Schools’ superintendent Harry Bull, among eight Colorado superintendents who participated in the annual Public Education and Business Coalition event. His response was among several offered in response to a state legislator who asked what the state’s education leaders want from the government. About 400 people gathered in the Seawall Grand Balloon in downtown Denver for the hour-long “The State of our Districts.” Subjects ranged from burdensome legislation — including state and federally mandated tests — to the impact of poverty on students. Bull was not alone in his sentiments about state requirements. “I think what our community would say is do less,” said Littleton Public Schools’ superintendent Scott Murphy. “More mandates that come down without the funding are problematic.” Denver Public Schools’ superintendent Tom Boasberg said, “The fact that we don’t fund full-day kindergarten in this state, I think, is shameful.” He also pointed to the achievement gap common among children from povertystricken homes.

Parents and groups, including the Interfaith Alliance of Colorado and Taxpayers for Public Education, filed suit after DCSD introduced the program in 2011. It allows parents to use state-issued funds toward tuition at private schools — most of which have a religious affiliation.
Colorado school superintendents including, from left, Denver Public Schools’ Tom Boasberg, Cherry Creek’s Harry Bull, Douglas County’s Elizabeth Fagen, Adams 12 Five-Star’s Chris Gdowski, La Veta’s Bree Lessar and Jefferson County’s Dan McMinimee chat before the start of the Oct. 29 Superintendent Forum in Denver. Photo by Jane Reuter “The kids are not two years behind because they were dumber than their more affluent peers; they had less opportunity,” he said. “I think it’s incredibly important we bring the base up and offer ours kids who need it full-day kindergarten … and help kids who are behind catch up and achieve the potential each of them is born with.” Other leaders also said schools need funding more than legislation. “I feel we’ve built a compelling case we use your money well,” Adams 12 Five Star Schools’ Chris Gdowski said. “But we need more of it.” “Give us the resources,” said Boulder Valley School District superintendent Bruce Messinger. “Quit passing laws, and let us do what we know how to do.” Similarly, they said heavy teacher and student requirements included in the Common Core Standards and a bevy of tests present challenges.
“Please don’t hear me say I’m not about accountability,” Bull said. “We spend so much time talking about assessment — structuring our days around assessment — that I would suggest we’re losing instructional time.” Some expressed strong support for the Common Core, a set of national standards aimed at enhancing education. But the Douglas County School District has rejected the Common Core, creating its own set of student standards, said superintendent Elizabeth Fagen. “We believe the (Common Core) standards are lower than we would like them to be,” she said. “The assessments we’re forced to do are a data point, and we take that into consideration. But we also have to measure a more important skill set.” Superintendents said they’re challenged to find and keep teachers in the quickly changing, ever-more demanding industry.
“These are people that want to have families and do bigger-picture things with their lives than just be chained to a desk 12 hours a day,” said JeffCo Public Schools’ superintendent Dan McMinimee. “How can we take the dollars we have, take care of all the other needs we have, while still having a wage that makes it an attractive place for people to be?” Messinger said Boulder Valley has focused on better pay and an appealing work environment to draw staff. “As a state, we have created an environment that’s not attractive to our educators because (of) high-stakes testing,” he said. Murphy said teachers still flock to Littleton, but he’s concerned about ensuring they stay. “Part of it is about money, part of it is about recognition,” he said. “Some of the dialogue that goes on at the state and national level doesn’t recognize enough about what they contribute.”
The Colorado Department of Education and the school district are defendants in the case. Each side will have 30 minutes to present oral arguments during the Dec. 10 court proceeding. Justices will then deliberate and write an opinion, a process that could take months. Though it is on hold during litigation, the program is listed on DCSD’s website among its school choice options. The district’s description of the choice scholarship program includes a notation that it is pend-
ing due to a court challenge, links about the court proceedings and the legal fund established to defend the program. Donations to the fund so far have totaled more than $1.16 million. The site says the defense is relying on privately raised funds, and no taxpayer dollars. Larsen said the district hasn’t discussed the next steps. “We’ve really gone four years now without being able to implement the pilot that was about to get under way,” he said. “We will look at the time the decision comes
what the best course is for the kids in the district. “It’s really too early to speculate now. We’re just focused on one step at a time.” Likewise, Barnard said the plaintiffs haven’t considered any further action if they don’t prevail at the state Supreme Court. “We’ll cross that road if we come to it,” she said. “We’re hopeful that we will not come to that.”

Seminar series to focus on retirement savings Classes to look at risk-free strategies, what to avoid By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Planning financially for retirement can be a daunting task, but a new series of educational seminars at the Philip S. Miller Library in Castle Rock will provide Douglas County seniors with a chance to have some of their questions answered. The 4 C’s of retirement series presented by Wendy Campbell & Associates will kick off at the library with a session from 9:30-11 a.m. on Nov. 8. The seminars will touch on retirement strategies based around the concepts of clarity, comfort, cost of living and certainty. There will be six seminars at the Castle Rock library throughout November and December, as well as one in Highlands Ranch. “The people we meet with have concerns like `Am I potentially going to outlive my retirement money? Is my money at risk?’ things like that,” said Dan Lopez, a financial services professional with Wendy Campbell & Associates. “We call ourselves the safe money team and we do that only because all of the vehicles we look at have absolutely no risk of losing principal. They do have the opportunity to accumulate money, but never a risk to lose money ever. We’re totally on the other end of risk.” Lopez said the free seminars are for people who are approaching retirement or already retired. Joining Lopez in presenting will be his colleague Shane Brandt. According to the two, a changing economic climate and longer life spans have put new financial stress on those who may end up with less money and more years to account for in retirement. “A lot of people are used to looking at their financial situation the way that our parents and grandparents did and times have changed,” Brandt said. “They’re underedu-

They just don’t realize that there are other options out there as far as safeguarding what they’ve worked their entire life to do.” The pair said that people don’t realize that even some retirement investments like company plans or 401(k)’s, which many consider to be safe investments, carry risk and can even lose money. Lopez and Brandt said they are not against people investing in the stock market or other risk laden ventures, but say they work with a different demographic. “If people want to have their money out there in the stock market and they aren’t afraid of risk, that’s great, but we probably aren’t the people for them.” Lopez and Brandt work their financial strategy around low to no risk retirement tools that can provide “a guaranteed stream of income for life.” According to Lopez, pensions, social security and annuities are the building blocks of low risk retirement savings. “Those are the three things that will literally carry you for the rest of your life,” Lopez said. The 4C’s Seminars each run about 1 ½ hours in total and will provide an opportunity to ask questions at the end. Seating is limited for each class. RSVP by calling either 720515-1070 or 720-333-6163.

Water rates could go up again Board to weigh proposal Nov. 13 By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com As predictable as five extra pounds or an empty wallet after the holidays, there is another annual downer Parker residents can expect. The first day of January usually means an increase in water rates, and 2015 is shaping up to be no different. During a meeting Nov. 13, the Parker Water and Sanitation District’s board of directors is scheduled to consider next year’s budget, which includes a proposed 3.75 percent increase in water rates for every 1,000 gallons used. For most residential customers, it means another $18 per year for water on average. There is no proposed increase for sewer operations. The reasons behind the price hike stem from long-term initiatives that aim to reduce Parker’s reliance on underground aquifers, said Ron Redd, district manager. The PWSD is finishing work on a modernized, $50 million treatment plant off Hess Road that will open in May and treat surface water coming out of Rueter-Hess Reservoir. Along with a handful of partners, the water provider is also in the process of connecting pipelines to Denver and Aurora’s water system to transport reclaimed water to Rueter-Hess as part of the WISE Agreement, or Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency. While a total increase of 1.41 percent on a monthly bill is not a major financial hit for most families, there is growing frustration over water rates in Parker in general. Resident Dave Usechek, a former Thornton City Council member, said he saw property values decline in Thornton because the city created its own water district and built its own infrastructure, which resulted in excessive costs. Usechek said the WISE project is similarly placing a “burden” on consumers in Parker. However, the fact that groundwater is drying up and growth is needed to sustain communities puts the town and water district in a “Catch-22 scenario,” he said. Because costs to acquire and treat water continue to rise, there is no end in sight for
the rate increases, but the PWSD is trying to lessen the impact on customers, Redd said. “Our goal is to not have these big surprises at the end of the year,” he said. “No one is appreciative of a rate increase, but they’re much happier with an incremental approach.” The budget that will be voted on Nov. 13 also includes proposed increases in tap fees, which are charged when new users hook into the water and sewer system. Taps for singlefamily dwellings measuring three quarters of an inch would go from $23,125 to $25,300. Taps for new businesses — around one inch in diameter — cost twice the amount of a single-family tap or higher depending on its size. It’s part of the district’s “cost of service methodology” in which charges are allocated to users based on the expenses they add to the system, Redd said. There are no plans to increase rates for sewer operations because PWSD staff went through financial documents and realized that residential ratepayers were bearing a portion of the costs for new growth. “The board’s policy is growth pays for growth,” said Steve Hellman, chief financial officer for the Parker Water and Sanitation District. Those expenses have since been shifted to developers, and that’s part of the reason for the increased tap fees, or impact fees. Redd acknowledged, however, that developers typically build those added costs into home prices. Commercial water customers, who use an average of 147,000 gallons per year, could also be impacted by the proposed rate increases. Their annual costs for water would go up by an average of $23.24. The district created a 30-year, $265 million water master plan with a goal to use 75 percent renewable water by the time its service area is built out. Transitioning from a reliance on groundwater is critical to the future, and there are upfront costs associated with preparing. “It’s kind of a `good news, bad news’ thing. We’ll have more renewable water, but it’s going to be more expensive,” Redd said. The meeting begins at 6 p.m. Nov. 13 at the district’s headquarters at 18100 E. Woodman Drive.
WISE Authority buys existing pipeline $34 million price split between 10 members By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com One of the last major pieces of infrastructure for the WISE Water Agreement is now in place. On Oct. 21, members of the South Metro Water Supply Authority and Denver Water purchased the East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District’s Western Waterline. The pipeline purchase is a significant milestone in WISE, a partnership between 10 south-metro members, Denver Water and Aurora Water to share water supply and infrastructure. The South Metro WISE Authority is made up of 10 water providers that are all part of the larger South Metro Water Supply Authority. Nine of those water providers — Centennial Water (Highlands Ranch’s provider), Cottonwood, Dominion, Inverness, Meridian, Parker, Pinery, Stonegate Village and Castle Rock—are located in Douglas County. The 10th, Rangeview Metropolitan District, is located in Aurora. The purchase price was $34 million, with the 10 south-metro WISE participants paying 85 percent or $29,275,000, and Denver Water paying 15 percent or $4,725,000. Using Aurora’s Prairie Waters system, Aurora Water and Denver Water will provide water through the Western Waterline to participating south-metro members on a permanent basis. WISE will also provide a new emergency supply for Denver Water, and offset costs and stabilize water rates for Aurora. “This is pretty much the last big piece of the puzzle,” said East Cherry Creek’s executive director of the South Metro Water Supply Authority, Eric Hecox. “With the
purchase of the pipeline, we can begin to build the infrastructure that will bring water to all of the South Metro members.” The 20-mile east-west pipeline along E-470 and C-470 has capacity to deliver 38 million gallons of water a day to Douglas and Arapahoe counties. “Our sale of this pipeline is mutually beneficial for all the parties involved,” the president of the ECCV board, O. Karl Kasch, said in a statement. “Under the purchase and sale agreement, ECCV will still have the capacity we need in the pipeline, while also supporting a regional solution to one of the most important water challenges facing the Denver metro region. We have always viewed the Western Waterline as an infrastructure asset from which the entire South Metro community can benefit, and that’s what will be accomplished.” Under the agreement, Denver Water and Aurora Water will sell an average of 7,250 acre-feet of water a year to southmetro water suppliers beginning in 2016, with the option to increase to 10,000 acrefeet in future years. The WISE project began in 2008 as a way for members to identify processes, costs, distribution, timing, storage and legal issues relating to distributing treated reusable water return flows from Denver and Aurora for use by SMWSA water users. The group tasked with utilizing this water is the South Metro WISE Authority. The primary purpose of the authority is to reduce members’ dependence on nonrenewable Denver Basin wells and provide a reliable, long-term water supply for residents. The WISE members are funding the new infrastructure that will move the water from Aurora’s Binney Water Purification Facility to its end locations, beginning in 2016. Water purchased by Douglas County entities, as well as by some of the other providers, will be stored at the Rueter-Hess Reservoir south of Parker.

Buck easily wins 4th District seat Weld County Republican handily defeats three opponents en route to U.S. Congress By Jane Reuter

Gardner takes Senate seat from Udall Congressman defeats Democratic incumbent By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A U.S. Senate race that was expected to be a nail-biter proved to be anything but that on Nov. 4 as Republican Congressman Cory Gardner upended Democratic incumbent Mark Udall in a race that was decided stunningly early. A pumped-up crowd of supporters erupted when Gardner took to a podium inside a Hyatt hotel ballroom at the Denver Tech Center, where the enthusiastic Yuma native declared victory. “Tonight we shook up the Senate,” Gardner said. “As Republicans in Colorado, we’ve gotten used to the saying, `Wait for the next election.’ Well tonight, that next election came.” By 7:30 on the morning after Election Day, totals so far showed Gardner in front with about 49.4 percent of votes tallied, compared to Udall’s 45.1 percent. Gardner had an edge of about 79,000 votes over Udall, with only 11 of the state’s 64 counties still submitting results. Udall conceded defeat in front of supporters at downtown Denver’s Westin Hotel at about 10 p.m. on Election Day, during a speech where he graciously accepted the night’s reality. “As long as I’ve had the privilege of serving the people of Colorado, I always feel like I’ve come out ahead,” Udall said. Udall’s speech came two hours after news outlets began
calling the race for Gardner — which occurred only an hour after the 7 p.m. poll closings. That surprised many observers. Even though recent public polling leading up to the election showed a coalescing of majority support for Gardner, the race was expected to be tight, considering recent elections have shown that a strong Democratic ground game made all the difference. But that didn’t materialize for Udall, who also had to fight against a national Republican wave that resulted in Democrats losing control of the U.S. Senate. In spite of the painful results, Udall tried to keep the mood light, referencing the humor of his late father, former Congressman and presidential candidate Morris Udall. “I do respect the will of the voters here in the state of Colorado, but I also thought about my dad,” Udall said. “You may remember, some of you, that he lost an election. He said, `The voters have spoken, the blanket-blanks.’” But Udall — who became the first incumbent senator to lose in Colorado since 1978 — still acknowledged the sting of the loss. “I thought about Abe Lincoln, you know his famous story about the boy that stubbed his toe,” Udall said. “He said, `It hurts too much to laugh, but he’s too big to cry.’” But the night was Gardner’s. The senator-elect told the crowd that Coloradans have now “signed up to be the tip of the spear, the vanguard of change that is sweeping the nation.” Gardner said that Colorado voters “are not red, they are not blue, but they are crystal clear.” “They are crystal clear in their message to Washington: Get your job done and get the heck out of the way,” Gardner said.

Republican Ken Buck easily gained the open seat in the heavily conservative 4th Congressional District. Voters chose the Weld County district attorney over three opponents, including Democrat Vic Meyers, Libertarian Jess Loban and unaffiliated Grant Doherty, during the Nov. 4 election. Buck had 65.6 percent of the vote as of the morning of Nov. 5. Buck takes the spot vacated by fellow Republican Cory Gardner, who traded it for an ultimately successful effort to unseat Democratic Sen. Mark Udall. Buck said America has taken a wrong turn somewhere since the “Greatest Generation” of his parents. Buck “America has given us a two-year contract, and we’d better get this right,” he said during a victory celebration in the Denver Tech Center on Election Night. “We’d better lead boldly, we’d better lead by inspiring.” He said Republicans need to enact legislation that everyone can get behind. “We need to flatten the tax code and shut the doors of the IRS, we’d better make sure that nobody ever again messes with our gun rights.” The predominately rural 4th Congressional District is a mix of rural and suburban. It includes Colorado’s eastern plains, Greeley, parts of Longmont and Elbert County, but also metro-area communities like Parker, Castle Rock and Lone Tree. Buck narrowly lost a 2010 Senate race against Sen. Michael Bennet, making him the most familiar name among the four CD4 candidates. “People talk about name recognition, but I think what I have is a brand,” Buck said earlier this year. “People understand I am a fiscal conservative and I have a passion to reduce spending.” During his unsuccessful Senate bid, Buck took heat for remarks he made about women and homosexuality. But as DA of Weld County. Buck touted a reduction in crime and the creation of a juvenile-assessment center that he believes helped reduce youth crime and truancy. A resident of Greeley, Buck has served as Weld County district attorney since 2005. His wife Perry is a state representative from Weld County. Buck has two adult children. — Staff writer Jennifer Smith contributed to this report.

Hickenlooper claims narrow victory Democratic governor fends off challenge from Beauprez By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com
720-974-7210 : www.20mileurgentcare.com
One word summed up the mood at a Nov. 5 Capitol victory rally for Gov. John Hickenlooper. “Phew,” the governor said while making a motion with his hand as if to wipe away sweat. After a bruising night for Democrats in Colorado and nationwide, Hickenlooper’s razor thin re-election win over Republican Bob Beauprez was one of the few things the blue party had to celebrate following the results from Election Night. Results in the gubernatorial race were not known until the morning after the election. After trailing for much of the evening the night before, Hickenlooper eventually was able to squeak out a win after pulling ahead in the wee hours of the morning. “I think I can now demonstrate that one, even with almost no sleep, can still feel great joy,” he said. As of 11 a.m on Nov. 5, Hickenlooper held about a 1 percentage point lead, with 94 percent of the precincts reporting. He was leading Beauprez by about 25,000 votes. Most of the remaining votes were in counties that were backing Hickenlooper. Beauprez had not conceded victory by the time Hickenlooper had given his victory speech, nor had the campaign issued a statement regarding the results. It was expected to be a very close race and the contest lived up to its billing. For months, Beauprez, a former congressman, hammered at Hickenlooper’s record and blasted him for “failing to lead” on key issues including the death penalty and fracking. Helping Beauprez during his campaign were Hickenlooper’s own words. The governor at times found himself walking back comments he made throughout the campaign, including remarks regarding gun control legislation that he gave to a group of sheriffs over

the summer. And Beauprez was helped by a national Republican wave that swept through Colorado and allowed the GOP to take over a U.S. Senate race here and to keep statewide offices that include attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer. But from the beginning, Hickenlooper focused his campaign on his stewardship over a state economy that has picked up steam under his watch. And he maintained a quirky, affable personality on the stump while keeping his promise to voters that he would never run a negative campaign ad, despite some of the groups backing him doing so. “I am so proud that we were able to run a positive campaign,” Hickenlooper said. “But we could not have done it without the encouragement of the people of Colorado.” Hickenlooper thanked his family and staff and supporters. He also thanked Democratic Sen. Mark Udall for his service, several hours after Udall lost his re-election bid to Republican Congressman Cory Gardner. The governor said Gardner called him that morning to congratulate him on the victory. “He said, `We’re going to be able to work together very well,’ ” Hickenlooper said. “We’re going to do everything we can to move this state forward.”

Staff report As was the trend in several other races, Colorado voters chose Republican candidates to represent them in three statewide offices below the top-tier race for governor. A look at the races, with results current as of 7:38 a.m. Nov. 5:
Attorney general Republican Cynthia Coffman will replace John Suthers. She took 52.7 percent of the vote in a race against Democrat Don Quick (41.3 percent) and Libertarian David Williams (6 percent). Suthers, a Republican, is leaving the post Coffman to pursue the job of mayor of Colorado Springs, where the election will be held next April. Coffman has served as Suthers’ chief
Republican Wayne Williams won in his bid to replace fellow Republican Scott Gessler, who launched an unsuccessful bid for governor. Williams garnered 48.6 percent of the vote, while Democrat Joe Neguse Williams received 44 percent, with two other candidates combining to take the remaining 7.4 percent. Williams is the El Paso County clerk and recorder, a position he was elected to in 2010.
Treasurer
Incumbent Republican Walker Stapleton will keep his job. He picked up 50.9 percent of the vote, compared to 44.1 percent for Democrat Betsy Markey and 5 percent for Libertarian David Jurist. Stapleton was elected to his first term in 2010.

Voters OK open school negotiations Other state ballot questions fall short By Mikkel Kelly
mkelly@coloradocommunitymedia.com Voters signaled a desire for greater transparency in school board business by passing Proposition 104 — the only one of the four statewide ballot questions to earn a green light on Election Day. As of the morning of Nov. 5, the count was 70 percent in favor to 30 percent opposed. At its core, Proposition 104 would “require that local school boards or their representatives negotiate collective bargaining agreements in open meetings,” as highlighted in the state’s “blue book.” Proponents support the measure as a way to ensure greater oversight of school board work in negotiations. On the other side, opponents argue that contract issues can be sensitive and difficult and are better handled in the private settings of executive sessions. Jane Urschel, deputy director of the Colorado Association of School Boards, said, “I am not surprised. I think what happened is most districts do not bargain, so it seems logical to do this board work in public.” Jeff Wasden, president of the Colorado Business Roundtable, said the passage shows that voters can still pass independent issues. “We are still a pretty conservative state and people expect transparency,” the Highlands Ranch resident said. Other state questions Amendment 68 failed by a ratio of 71 percent to 29 percent, based on unofficial Nov. 5 results. The measure would have allowed casino gambling at horse racetracks in Arapahoe, Mesa and Pueblo counties, with the gambling revenue to support K-12 education in the state. Proponents stated the measure could have provided up to $114.5 million each year for public schools or about $132 per student beginning in the budget year 2016-17, as well as provide jobs in the region. Opponents countered that the measure competes with the 1990 statewide approved limited-stakes gambling in Central City and Black Hawk in Gilpin County, and Cripple Creek in Teller County. Opponents also said gambling has a negative effect on surrounding communities. “It shows that people want to hold true to mining towns and support those communities,” Wasden said. Amendment 67, dubbed the “personhood” amendment,
Voters countywide dropped off ballots at drive-up boxes and other sites on election day Nov. 4. Highlands Ranch resident Amy Minnihan deposits hers in the box at the Highlands Ranch sheriff ’s substation on Highlands Ranch Parkway. Photo by Jane Reuter was not expected to pass by many political experts and lost by a ratio of 64 percent to 35 percent. The measure would have amended the state constitution so that the terms “person” and “child” in the Colorado criminal code and the state wrongful death statutes would include “unborn human beings.” Supporters said the amendment would protect pregnant women and unborn children by making it illegal to kill or harm an unborn human being, according to the “blue book.” The opposing argument stated the amendment is unnecessary and unclear, and would allow government intrusion into personal health care decisions. Proposition 105 was defeated 66 percent to 34 percent. The measure would have required that foods that are genetically modified or produced contain the words “produced with genetic engineering.” Proponents claimed the labeling would increase the availability of information about Colorado’s food supply, noting the issue is not whether genetic engineering is good or bad, but rather that consumers should be informed. Opponents said the proposition could result in higher food prices as the cost of labeling and compliance is passed on to consumers. Also, according to opponents of mandatory labeling, nationwide voluntary labeling standards already provide consumers with reliable information on GMO products.

MAKES A SPLASH IN LITTLETON
Exhibit whips its way into Denver gallery The Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, 1485 Delgany St., is hosting an exhibit of the art of Mark Mothersbaugh, co-founder of the New Wave band Devo (famous for its 1980 hit “Whip It”), through April 12. Mark Mothersbaugh: Myopia” is the first retrospective of the artist’s work from the beginning of his career in the early 1970s through the present. Almost all of Mothersbaugh’s visual art originates with drawings on postcards, which he has been working on daily since the ‘70s. His postcards, which now exceed 30,000, provide the basic imagery for his paintings, prints, rugs, videos and sculptures. For more information, go to www.mcadenver.org/markmothersbaugh.php.

Four painters exhibit work through holidays By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Four area painters will combine their works in a show called “The Art of Water” at Town Hall’s Stanton Gallery in Littleton from Nov. 6 to Jan. 5. A meet-the-artists reception is planned from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 22. The four are: Colette Brooks, Kay Juricek, Joanne Sisun and Kate Wyman. Brooks, who paints with oils, is a graduate of the Colorado Institute of Art. She has studied with Dennis R. Pendleton, Ken Velastro and Chuck Ceraso, who traces his training to French and American impressionists through his instructor, Charles Hawthorne. Brooks’ paintings include European subjects, animal portraits, and Colorado landscapes. Kay Juricek said that her paintings in this exhibit “are of barrier islands: low-lying, narrow strips of land that sit precariously off the coastline. They’re lovely, secluded tropical places to shell, watch wildlife such as pelicans and other birds, soak up sun and relax. We visit southwest Florida often and especially love these beautiful, unpopulated beaches.” She grew up in Nebraska and graduated from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, where she studied with landscape artist Keith Jacobshagen. A master’s degree in library science from Columbia University followed, and she has been a faculty member at the university of Wyoming and at Colorado School of Mines in Golden. She began painting portraits on commission in 1990, as well as landscapes and still lifes in acrylics, oils and pastels, and has exhibited locally and nationally. She now paints in her Denver studio and enjoys travel in the American West. Joanne Sisun has bachelor’s and master’s degrees and an MBA, and worked in business before she began studying at the Art Students League of Denver in 2000. She has studied with Ron Hicks since 2001 and is an assistant for his Atlier group at ASLD. She writes that she “is interested in the challenge of creating

In an effort to raise awareness of men’s health issues, the Tavern Hospitality Group has created an official Movember USA team called “StacheTag Tavern.” People can join Tavern’s team to support the cause at www. moteam.co/stachetag-tavern. The Movember Foundation is dedicated to having an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health. Their annual Movember campaign involves the growing of mustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men’s health issues, such as prostate cancer and other male cancers and associated charities. As Movember USA team members grow mustaches, they try to encourage friends and family to support the cause by pledging funds to their particular page. “This is our first year to participate in Movember,” said Frank Schultz, owner of Tavern Hospitality Group. “I think most people know someone who’s been affected by a health issue that is specific to men. We wanted to help raise funds for research and treatment. I hope we have a lot of people join our team so we can make an impact.” The Tavern is giving a free shave at Floyd’s Barbershop and a $150 Tavern gift card to the “StacheTag Tavern” team member who ends up with the best mustache at the end of the month. Tavern Hospitality Group has eight locations in Uptown, Downtown, Lowry, Tech Center, Wash Park, Littleton, Mile High and Ballpark neighborhoods. For additional information, visit www.tavernhg.com.

It will also be featured in the exhibit. atmosphere and narrative in paintings of figures, landscapes and objects. In the musical, `Anything Goes,’ dressing up in disguises is a recurrent theme.” Her “Theatrical Figure #1” illustrates her interest in painting figures in theatrical disguises, which offer opportunities for “creating narrative and atmosphere.” (Perhaps her masked figure appeared along Venice canals during Carnival?) Kate Wyman said she grew up on the Jersey Shore, although she has lived in Colorado most of her adult life. She has always enjoyed art and “creating” and is mainly self-taught, although she has enjoyed workshops and classes in Colorado, Pennsylvania and Virginia. She likes to work in watercolors because of the clean, fresh look and is a Signature member of the Colorado Watercolor Society and a member of Park Hill Artists, Roxborough Arts Council, Grace Gallery (Santa Fe Arts District) and Shadow Mountain Gallery in Evergreen.
“Kinky Boots,” the smash-hit Broadway musical, is a real kick in the ... well, you fill in the blank. The 2013 Tony Award-winning musical, with the story by Harvey Fierstein and score by Cyndi Lauper, plays The Buell Theatre through Nov. 9. This one is well worth your entertainment dollar for two hours of an uplifting theatrical experience that will set your toes tapping. The story is about a failing English shoe factory that reinvents itself to feed the soles of a niche audience (the transvestite community) with man-sized hip-high blingy boots.

“Disguise-Theatrical Figure # 1” by Joanne Sisun looks like a fellow one might see along the canals in Venice at Carnivale time. It’s included in “Art of Water” at Littleton’s Town Hall.
Outgoing Colorado Restaurant Association president and CEO Pete Meersman got a hearty sendoff Oct. 28 when roughly 150 friends and fans gathered at the Denver ChopHouse & Brewery.

Don’t just see art exhibit on the fly Linger a bit at DIA for works by CCM columnist By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com
“Yo Yo” oil on canvas 48” x 38” is included in Craig Marshall Smith’s “Paintings for Airports” exhibit at DIA through April 2015. Courtesy photo
Readers who are flying in the next few months will want to make a brief detour at DIA to visit an exhibit of abstract work by artist and Colorado Community Media columnist Craig Marshall Smith. On a recent morning, a representative from Denver International Airport’s active Art and Culture Program appeared at Smith’s home/studio in Highlands Ranch and packed up 28 original oil paintings by the artist. Named “Paintings for Airports,” the collection will hang through April 2015 in the Y-Juncture Gallery, located just north of the bridge from Jeppesen Terminal to Concourse A at the Y-shaped juncture leading to the A Concourse.
The exhibit is dedicated to Smith’s father, Harry E. Smith, a World War II pilot who flew 30 missions in “Smoky Liz II” — a B-17 — with the 452nd Bombardment Group. Smith, a well-known Colorado artist, was drawing coordinator at Metropolitan State College of Denver from 1997-2003, when he retired as professor emeritus. He cites Franz Kline, Richard Diebenkorn and Jim Dine as his mentors in painting. Early work was figurative, but he shifted to abstract expressionism around the beginning of the 21st century. Readers may recall his exhibit in the atrium of the Englewood Civic Center in late 2012/early 2013 and his permanently installed “Rodger,” a cut-out plywood painted horse at the top of the stairway leading to the Museum Outdoor Arts on the second level. He is also the creator of a large mural at Bemis Library in Littleton, depicting a
flock of the ever-present Canada geese. It was commissioned by the city’s Fine Arts Board some years ago. Smith self-published a book after an earlier gallery exhibit bearing the same “Paintings for Airports” title, but this show has more recent work, including 2014 canvases. The title came, he wrote, from Brian Eno’s ambient album, “Music for Airports,” in which the musician layered tapes for a quiet background sound intended to relieve travelers’ anxiety. Smith writes a weekly column for Colorado Community Media’s south suburban newspapers and has published books on paintings and collections of columns. Denver International Airport prides itself on its art. Public artworks are commissioned through the city’s “1 percent for art” program and there is an ongoing, changing exhibit of art displayed in the venue, particularly in the area near A Concourse Security, where Smith’s exhibit hangs now.

Task force seeks Thanksgiving donations Staff report In an effort to make the Thanksgiving holiday a little brighter for families in need, the Parker Task Force for Human Services is seeking donations so it can provide holiday food baskets. Food baskets are needed so families can prepare a Thanksgiving meal at home. Food baskets should feed a family of four to six people and contain Thanksgiving dinner items such as: frozen turkeys, aluminum turkey pans, canned vegetables, butter, stuffing, cans of sweet potatoes, pie/dessert, gravy, packets, jars or cans of cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, boxes of Jello, cans of fruit, and bags of potatoes or boxes of instant mashed potatoes. The baskets or boxes can be dropped off at the Parker Task Force building at 20118 E. Mainstreet, Unit D, between 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Nov. 23. The food bank is also seeking monetary donations. The tax-deductible contributions are used to purchase prepared Thanksgiving dinners from local grocery store deli departments for clients with special needs. A $50 donation will feed a family of four to six people. Any funds not needed for Thanksgiving will be used to help provide limited financial assistance to clients. Checks made payable to the Parker Task Force (memo: Thanksgiving) may be mailed to the attention of Diane Roth, Parker Task Force, 20118 E. Mainstreet Unit D, Parker, CO 80138. Donors may also make a contribution using PayPal through
Parker Task Force volunteer and chairman Steve Budnack helped students from Cherokee Elementary School unload baskets last year. The task force is making a call for Thanksgiving donations Nov. 23 at its headquarters at 20118 E. Mainstreet.

Mexican drinks, culture explored in exhibition Museo de las Americas is last stop for art show By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “El Brindis REMIXED (The Toast REMIXED) — The Beverages and People of Mexico” is now open at the Museo de las Americas, featuring photographs and artists from the 19th and 20th centuries, including Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Augustin Victor Casasola, Juan Rolfo, Graciela Iturbide, Gabriel Figueroa, Mariana Yampolsky and other creatives who were included in Frida Kahlo’s and Diego Rivera’s inner circle. They have captured “wild moments through the Mexican Revolution and the not so daily routine of the culture following the uprising.” This exhibit was on display in Paris in 2000 for the Millennium Celebration and will be featured for a final time in the U.S. at the Museo through Jan. 16. It was curated in Denver by Museo director Maruca Salazar. The Museo will transform its gallery walls into a traditional pulqueria (Pulque bar), where events will include tastings of tequilas, beers, and mescal. Some dates to note: Nov. 7, First Friday and Dia de los Muertos Celebration, 5-8 p.m.; Nov. 21, Spanish Happy Hour (a monthly event) will offer a presentation of the History of Pulque by Dan Benevidez, 5-8 p.m; Dec. 3, Conversacion Contacto: Master Mescalier, Mezcal tasting and presentation, a collaboration with the Mexican Consulate and Asociacion Pro Cultura, 6-7:30 p.m. A bit of lore about the popular drinks was included with the show announcement. Pulque is from the maguey plant, which was used in many ways for thousands of years before the Spaniards arrived. It was good to eat, good for healing, used for a covering against outdoor exposure, in instruments and materials. “Most appreciated though, was the juice, the liquid that, once fermented, was

distilling it. Mescal wines were produced in the colonial period. (There was a period of prohibition.) The most famous liquor from the New World was from the Tequila Jurisdiction in the kingdom of New Galacia, later to be known as the state of Jalisco. Beer companies were established following the arrival of Swiss, German and American brewers — early brands were Moctezuma, Cuauhtemoc, Chihuahua, Pacifico and Yucateca.

After a seemingly endless wait, Sarto’s Italian Eatery opened Oct. 28 in the Jefferson Park district of Denver, anchoring the southwest corner on the historic square at 2900 W. 25th Ave. The sister spot, Sarto’s Pantry, is to open this month. Led by entrepreneur Taylor Swallow, his wife Kajsa, and award-winning executive chef Brian Laird, Sarto’s offers metropolitan Italian “tailored” cuisine in a food-and-drink-forward social environment. “We’re so fortunate to have Brian on board because of his experience and track record, and we know his food is going to be spectacular,” Taylor said. Named for the Italian word “tailor,” Sarto’s is focused on providing an experience that is fit to their individual guests, from dish “alterations” to tailored protein portions. Open Tuesday through Sunday, 5 to 10 p.m, Sarto’s is 4,000 square feet and can accommodate 60 guests in the dining room and another 30 guests between the bar and cicchetti bar. Sharing the space’s north side storefront is Sarto’s Pantry, a gourmet market and deli where guests can purchase many of the ingredients used by Laird, including pre-packaged handmade pastas, or enjoy a casual dining experience. Pantry guests choose from panini, pizza, soup, salads, or meat and cheese boards to take home or enjoy onsite with a glass of wine. Sarto’s Pantry will open on November 3 and will be open 11 to 8 p.m. seven days a week.

ABOVE: “Blue Horizon,” Chuck Danford’s watercolor of a solitary bear, won the first-place ribbon in “This is Colorado” at ACC. Photos by Sonya Ellingboe
Arts guild stages yearly show at ACC ‘This is Colorado’ was first held in 1976 By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The community-oriented Heritage Fine Arts Guild of Arapahoe County was started by a small group of local artists in 1974. They sought — and found — a connection with others of like interests. “This is Colorado” was started soon after — in 1976 — by one of those founders, the energetic Betty Neudeck. The show has wandered to various venues in the metro area, including the Buell Theatre, but last year, it returned to home territory — to Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College in Littleton, where the 2014 edition is open until Nov. 14.
Limited to two-dimensional works, this exhibit was juried by Mary Allman Koernig, who is currently public art coordinator for the City of Aurora, but well-known to the local arts community, where she once lived and directed the Littleton Museum (19982002). Koernig selected 74 paintings by 34 artists, from about 100 entries, according to show director Mary kay Moore Jacobus. The long-running guild meets once a month at 7 p.m. on the second Tuesday at Bemis Library in Littleton, from September through May (except for a December holiday gathering) and visitors are always welcome. Current president is Lee Wasilik. Meetings include a critique or demonstration of a painting technique, and the group holds local member art shows as well as the annual “This is Colorado.” Workshops by visiting artists are sched-
uled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on select Saturdays at Littleton First Presbyterian Church, 1609 W. Littleton Blvd. (See heritage-guild. com for information.) HFAG also has Thursday Paint Days from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Ascension Lutheran Church, 1701 W. Caley Ave. Open to all — $1 donation pays the rent. Awards are indicated by a handsome bronze medallion, hung next to the winning paintings on a ribbon that a recipient might wear around the neck. Ribbon colors vary. Allman Koernig selected Lee Wasilik’s bright, highly textured acrylic, “A Change of Seasons” as best of show. She awarded first place to veteran painter Chuck Danford’s “Blue Horizon,” depicting a solitary bear at the edge of an evergreen forest. Danford’s precisely executed watercolor wildlife paintings are often award winners. The second place medal went to Patricia Montano for

Mustangs still kicking in semis Ponderosa advances on double overtime thriller against Montrose By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Lars Peterson has been the big man for the Ponderosa soccer team which is making its second straight appearance in the Class 4A soccer semifinals. Peterson, a 6-foot-2 senior midfielder, scored on a penalty kick and had an assist in Ponderosa’s 2-0 win over Evergreen Oct. 28 at Sports Authority Stadium. On a windy Nov. 1 afternoon at the Parker complex, Peterson had a goal and assisted on Ty Robbins’ game-winning tally in the second overtime in a 2-1 quarterfinal win over Montrose. Ponderosa, which lost 4-0 to Air Academy in the 2013 semifinals, faces The Classical Academy Titans (18-0-0) in the 7 p.m. semifinal Nov. 5 at Sports Authority Stadium. The Titans from Colorado Springs won the Class 3A championship last season. All three goals in the match against Montrose came off corner kicks as the Mustangs improved to 13-5-0. Montrose jumped ahead 1-0 with 8:59 to play in the first half when Fernando Torrero headed in a corner kick from Brayden Reese. Peterson then tied the game 61 seconds prior to halftime when Peterson scored off a corner kick. Peterson was also involved in the goal that pushed the Mustangs into the semifinals. Parker Klein took a corner kick for Ponderosa and Jack Warburton controlled the ball during a scramble in front of Montrose keeper Keegan Sullinger. Warburton and Peterson eventually got the ball to Robbins who scored with 4:14 left in the second 15-minute overtime. “Jack was dribbling through the middle made a great pass to Lars and Lars kind of found me,” said Robbins. “I just happened to be in the right position at the right time.” Peterson has two goals and six points in the past two playoffs triumphs for Ponderosa. “He and Ty Robbins are probably our best all-around players,” said Mustangs coach Jim Engels. “Ty is really good at the back on defense and comes up and does stuff like the game-winning goal. Lars does a lot of stuff nice and calmly.

Ponderosa has only given up one goal through its first three postseason games, all victories. Photo by Brenda Wambach He wins a lot of balls in the air that’s for sure.” Peterson scored on a low penalty shot with 8:57 remaining in the first half in the second round match against Evergreen after freshman Colin Hester was tripped in the penalty area. It was his successful third penalty kick in playoff games over the past two seasons. “I’ve practiced them numerous times,”
said Peterson of penalty kicks. “I’ve just been choosing one spot and I hit that spot. I keep the shot low and it’s hard for the goalie to save.” Engels never debates when he has to choose a player to take a penalty kick. “We work on penalty kicks but Lars Peterson never misses so he automatically takes them,” he said. “Lars is so good at those. He made two of them last year to
win playoff games.” Robbins got the decisive goal against Montrose when it looked as if the game might be determined by penalty kicks. “I’m so excited,” said the senior defender. “It’s great to be back in the semifinals. I was pretty nervous about going to a shootout. We played pretty good. We possessed the ball pretty good. It was an all-out effort.”
Chaparral season ends with playoff loss Cherry Creek eliminates Wolverines 49-18 By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Coach Rod Dobbs acknowledged that Chaparral took steps toward regaining football prominence this season despite bowing out in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs by way of a lopsided 49-18 loss to Cherry Creek Oct. 31 at the Stutler Bowl. Chaparral finished the 2014 campaign with a 3-7 record. The Wolverines have gone 7-13 the past two seasons after compiling a 40-16 record between 2008-2012. “It’s a work in progress,” said Dobbs, who replaced John Vogt as head coach this year. “We faced a really good team in Cherry Creek and we knew that. We have a very young team. It’s just going to take the offseason weight room, seven-on-seven and spring ball. “It’s a building process. We’ve made some large improvements. This was our seventh
loss. Three of those games, the losses were less than 10 points to top teams. We’ve got three games we lost by a combined total of 10 points and we should have won them.” Chaparral’s leading rusher, punter and second leading tackler Mitch Ross saw limited action in the playoff loss because of a second-degree AC (acromio-clavicular) injury. Cherry Creek scored on its first three possessions and also got a 60-yard touchdown on a pass interception by Javier Craft to take a 28-0 lead with 2:39 still to play in the first quarter. Chaparral had minus-12 yards on its initial four drives and finished the game with minus-eight yards rushing. The Bruins, top-seeded in Quadrant 3 of the playoffs, rushed for 340 yards and wound up with 521 yards of total offense despite sitting their starters for the second half of the game. Wolverines quarterback Kyle Gallup was 14-of-35 for 109 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. Chaparral also got a 43yard field goal from Ford Edwards and a 65-yard TD on a fumble recovery return by Koby Stevens.
Chaparral senior quarterback Kyle Gallup faced heavy pressure most of the game against Cherry Creek but completed 14 passes including one late in the game for a touchdown in the Wolverines 49-18 loss in a first round Class 5A state playoff game at the Stutler Bowl. Photo by Jim Benton

SPORTS ROUNDUP Football playoffs shape up
Ponderosa earned the 16th and final seed in the Class 4A playoffs. That’s the good news for the Mustangs. The bad? Ponderosa’s first round game will be at 1 p.m. against topseeded, unbeaten and defending state champion Pine Creek on Nov. 8 at District 20 Stadium in Colorado Springs. The Eagles have won 21 straight games since dropping a game Sept. 12, 2013 against Class 5A Columbine. The Eagles have won 23 consecutive games against 4A teams with the last loss coming against Ponderosa in October 2012. The Mustangs, 5-5 overall, tied Littleton and Dakota Ridge for the Plains League title but earned the league title and a spot in the postseason by point differential. Jack Griffin, also a standout lacrosse player for the Mustangs in the spring, rushed for two touchdowns and caught a TD pass to lead Ponderosa to a 26-21 victory over Kennedy Nov. 1 at All-City Stadium in the regular season finale. Undefeated Lutheran’s strength of schedule apparently wasn’t impressive enough as the Lions were seeded fifth in Class 3A playoffs. Discovery Canyon (10-0), Evergreen (10-0), Roosevelt (9-1) and Pueblo East (7-3) all were seeded ahead of the Lions. Lutheran (10-0) will host Palisade (7-3) Nov. 8 in a round one game to be played at 1 p.m. at Douglas County High School in Castle Rock. The Lions ended the regular season Nov. 1 with a 54-7 romp victory over Skyview on Nov. 1 as Jamil Bond rushed for 191 yards and two touchdowns. The Lions have outscored opponents by an average of 47.3-16.6 this season. Cherry Creek, top-seeded in Quad-
rant 3 of the Class 5A playoffs, jumped ahead of Chaparral 28-0 early in the first quarter and cruised to a 49-18 first round playoff win Oct. 31 at the Stutler Bowl. The Bruins, who didn’t play a starter in the second half, rolled up 521 yards in total offense. Creek (7-3) will entertain Bear Creek (7-3) in a second round contest at 7 p.m. Nov. 7 at the Stutler Bowl. Valor Christian quarterback Dylan McCaffrey threw three touchdown passes and Eric Lee Jr. scored three times with a rushing, receiving and interception touchdowns as the Eagles rebounded from a rare two-game losing streak with a 48-12 first round win over Horizon. Stone Watson added 158 yards rushing on 17 carries for Valor. The Eagles (7-3) will face Highlands Ranch foe Mountain Vista (9-1) for the first meeting between the two schools in a second round game to be played at 7 p.m. Nov. 7 at Valor. Mountain Vista quarterback Brock Rubley threw a TD pass and Brendan Ike threw and caught a touchdown pass in the Golden Eagles’ 24-14 win over Cherokee Trail on Oct. 31. In other 5A games, Heritage was down 27-7 in the third quarter but rallied for a 28-27 win over Doherty Nov. 1 at Garry Berry Stadium to advance to the second round. The Eagles (7-3) will play Regis Jesuit (9-1) at 7 p.m. Nov. 7 at Littleton Public Schools Stadium. Sophomore quarterback Chase Hansen completed 26-of-36 passes for 335 yards and three touchdowns in Heritage’s comeback win over the Spartans. He also threw two interceptions. Alex Motler also tossed a TD pass for the victors.
Tim Pless had 12 receptions for 201 yards and three touchdowns for the Eagles and Jared Leonard caught eight passes for 122 yards and a TD. Junior linebacker Jack Brouillette made 20 tackles to pace the Heritage defense. ThunderRidge had a chance to advance but dropped a 7-3 decision to Rocky Mountain. The Grizzlies (4-6) were on the Lobos’ 3-yard line with one second left in the game but couldn’t score on the final play of the game. Castle View (4-6) gave up 395 passing yards and 526 total yards in a 41-21 loss to Fairview and Arapahoe (4-6) saw its season end following a 36-32 setback to Pomona, the top-seeded team in Quadrant 4.
Volleyball state fields set
Chaparral, Cherry Creek, Legend and Highlands Ranch all won Class 5A regional tournaments to advance to the state volleyball tournament. Ponderosa and Valor Christian were Class 4A regional champs and also earned berths to the state tournament. All classes will compete at the Denver Coliseum Nov. 7 and 8. The Colorado High School Activities Association setup features three-team round-robin pools for regional qualifying tournaments and most teams advance by winning two matches. That’s how Chaparral, Cherry Creek, Legend, Ponderosa and Valor Christian made it into the state tournament. Highlands Ranch took a different route after losing a match in the Region 5 tournament to Rocky Mountain in five sets. Ralston Valley beat Rocky Mountain in the first match of the tourney and then the Falcons notched a 3-1 win over the Mustangs leaving all three
teams with 1-1 records. The Falcons earned the top seed in the one-set playoffs because of a higher percentage of total sets played (5 of 9). Rocky Mountain beat Ralston Valley, 25-15, in the first playoff set and then Highlands Ranch won the tourney with a 25-15 one-set win over the Lobos.
State gymnastics recap Ponderosa had no individual medalists at the Class 5A state gymnastics tournament Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 at Thornton High School but the Mustangs did manage a 10th-place team finish. Overland claimed the team title, while Broomfield, Mountain Range and Cherry Creek claimed second through fourth, respectively. Leading the way for the Bruins was Samantha Simon and Mackenzie Doerr. Both Bruins brought home silver medals with Simon doing so in the all-around and beam and Doerr in the vault. Pomona freshman Kelsey Boychuk captured gold in all three events. In addition to her second-place finishes in the beam and all-around, Simon finished eighth on the bars, seventh in the vault and third in the floor exercise. Doerr finished eighth in the allaround, seventh in the beam and fifth in the floor exercise.
Winter practices begin Winter sports practice starts Nov. 12 for basketball, wrestling, ice hockey and girls swimming and diving. Teams can begin interscholastic scrimmages Nov. 18 and the first contests can begin Dec. 1.

“It literally takes me to another place,” Skalkoski said. “My breathing gets shallow, I have one long exhale and then I disappear.” The 93-degree water is exactly the same temperature as the surface of human skin, which means users don’t overheat or get too cold. Coupled with the buoyancy, the result is a soft cocoon, like an invisible, form-fitting hammock. Customers often leave with feeling like they had a full-body massage and therapy session in one. The “sweet spot” for most regulars is an hour and a half, Skalkowski said. Light, ethereal music and ocean sounds start out faint and gradually get louder to signal the end of the session. A shower immediately next to each tank allows customers to wash off perfumes, deodorants, colognes and body oils before entering the chamber, and also cleans the saltwater away at the end. The water in the tanks is changed out regularly and goes through a powerful filtration system. A one-hour session costs $45 and 1½ hours is $60. Rates are lower for members, and any military veteran with PTSD gets his or her first session for free. Astral Float Spa, 19031 E. Plaza Drive, accepts walkins, but appointments are recommended. Hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day. Call 303-635-6671 or go to www.astralfloatspa.com for more information.

Grading work and regional drainage improvements are scheduled to begin late this year on town-owned properties located adjacent to Pine Drive north of Mainstreet. The project will require daytime closures of Pine Drive for approximately two weeks. An open house to discuss the project will be from 5-7 p.m. Nov. 12 at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center. The improvements will include the installation of an underground storm sewer through the property west of Pine Drive, allowing the existing drainage ditch to be filled. A stormwater detention pond will be installed on the property east of Pine Drive to help reduce flows through the site. The soil displaced by the pond will be used to level the property west of Pine Drive, eliminating the need to import material to this site and reducing future project costs. The site is the future home of the Parker Library and a public plaza across from town hall; construction is scheduled to start early next year. Pine Drive will be closed during non-peak travel hours to allow the hauling of the material across the road. The daytime closures are anticipated to last no longer than two weeks, and Pine Drive will be open to two-way traffic outside of closure hours during the work. More information on the exact dates of the closure will be provided as the work advances. The project is expected to be completed in the spring of 2015.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day in the 11th month of 1918, a cease-fire agreement ended World War I, and Armistice Day was born. Renamed Veterans Day” n 1954, the holiday now commemorates the service of all veterans of war, conflict and active-duty service. Those who have never had the opportunity to do something special on Veterans Day are encouraged to join the Parker Area Historical Society for an hour-long program dedicated to veterans starting at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 11 at Ruth Memorial Chapel, 19650 E. Mainstreet, in downtown Parker. The evening will begin with a brief review of historical society activities, including how the Parker History museum move is progressing. Then, learn about the Honor Flight Network, a national organization that arranges the transport of veterans to Washington, D.C., to visit the World War II memorial. The night will close with personal stories told by guest World War II veterans. The event is free to the public.

At the Oct. 28 Douglas County Commissioners meeting, the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District distributed more than $483,000 in Tier III grant funding to 43 different nonprofit arts, culture, science and heritage organizations — 11 of which are based in Douglas County. Grant recipients include the Cherokee Ranch and Castle Foundation ($100,000), the Highlands Ranch Cultural Affairs Foundation ($90,000) and the Lone Tree Symphony Orchestra ($12,000), among others. “Thank you to the general public for supporting the SCFD through the sales tax. It’s been a great benefit to our community and certainly brings great delight to the eye and ear,” said Commissioner Roger Partridge. Those wishing to receive grants must apply and are then reviewed by the county cultural council in conjunction with the SCFD. Applicants are interviewed and asked questions about how they will use funding.
The seven county cultural councils are made up of volunteer appointees who manage the SCFD Tier III grant application process for their respective counties. The seven participating counties are Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas (excluding Castle Rock and Larkspur) and Jefferson County. Since 1989, the SCFD has distributed funds generated from one-tenth of a percent of the sales and use tax collected by the seven participating counties. The funds support cultural facilities whose primary purpose is to enlighten and entertain the public through the production, presentation, exhibition, advancement and preservation of art, music, theatre, dance, zoology, botany, natural history and cultural history. The distribution budget for scientific and cultural organizations in the sevencounty area is approximately $40 million annually. Voters reaffirmed their support of the SCFD tax in 1994 and again in 2004 by voting to extend the SCFD tax with 65 percent voter approval. Voters will choose whether to extend the SCFD in November 2016 before the district’s June 2018 sunset date.
