TIME TO

LIGHT THE LIGHTS

Suspect in chase headed for trial Two weeks reserved for Ryan Stone’s April trial in Douglas County By Jane Reuter

The Legend High School choir sings a medley of holiday favorites at the mayor’s tree-lighting ceremony Nov. 28.

Hundreds of families crowded into Parker’s O’Brien Park on Nov. 28 to sing Christmas songs and watch town leaders illuminate thousands of lights hanging in the park’s trees. The annual Mayor’s Holiday Lighting has become a tradition for Parker residents and draws more people every year.

Ryan Stone pleaded not guilty in a Douglas County courtroom Dec. 1 to all charges filed against him in connection with a multi-county, high-speed March 12 chase. Stone’s case will go to trial, which is expected to last two weeks, starting April 21 at the Douglas County Justice Center. Stone, 29, of Highlands Ranch, faces 26 counts for his suspected role in the rush-hour chase that ended near the Wildlife Experience in northern Douglas Stone County. It started outside a Longmont gas station when he allegedly stole an SUV with a 4-year-old boy inside. Stone later abandoned the car, with the uninjured boy inside, then hijacked another and later in Douglas County, a third vehicle, police say. A news helicopter tracked the chase, while law enforcement officers pursued and repeatedly tried to stop him. During the pursuit, Stone allegedly struck and injured a Colorado State Patrol trooper. Charges against Stone include attempted murder, kidnapping, assault, aggravated motor vehicle theft, robbery, vehicular eluding, criminal mischief and leaving the scene of an accident.

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Parker Police Department is dialing in on a possible phone scam that has affected 50 people and flooded town hall with calls from concerned citizens. Caller ID says the calls are coming from the Town of Parker, but authorities have confirmed that they are not originating from phone lines at any government office. Initial reports from some residents indicated that the caller was claiming to be associated with the town’s building department and needed to conduct a roof inspection. However, investigators have learned that the person or persons do not actually identify themselves as employees of the town.

Quilts made with steady hands, heavy hearts Parker woman tries to comfort neglected boys By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com The disturbing details of the case were enough to leave an impression on anyone who followed the story of four boys removed from a neglectful home in Denver. That anyone could mistreat children in such a way reverberated with Tina Lewis. The Parker resident read with horror about the case involving Wayne Sperling, 67, and Lorinda Bailey, 36, who were arrested in October 2013 after police found the couple’s children in squalid conditions. Wayne Sperling accepted a plea agreement and pleaded guilty to one felony count of child abuse; the original charges were dismissed. He is free on bond and will be sentenced later this month. Bailey pleaded guilty to reckless child abuse and received 90 days in jail and five years of probation. A caseworker testified in court that the boys ages 2 to 6 communicated through grunts and physical contact, treated apples like toys and were not potty trained. “I just wanted to do something, and you don’t know what you can do,” Lewis said. She decided to put her talents to good use. She coordinated with a two-person team of quilters to create elaborate bedspreads that would serve as not only a comfort, but also an educational tool. The quilts are linked together not physically but by theme. Lewis included everything a young boy might think is cool, from helicopters and fire trucks to farm animals and mountain scenes. Put side by side, the quilts fit right together. “It was kind of fun searching for the fabric and finding things like the emergency vehicles,” she said. The labor-intensive project began in February when Lewis’ quilter friend paid a visit from Washington, D.C. It didn’t wrap up until October. The result, however, is four intricate quilts made with steady hands and heavy hearts. The issue has never been the time, money or effort expended for the sake of a worthy cause, but rather the ability to get the quilts to the boys. Lewis has no plans to meet the brothers, but simply wants to make sure the quilts are in the hands of someone who will deliver them. So far, she has been unable to do so. Julie Smith, a spokeswoman for the Denver Department of Human Services, said the laws that determine the release of information about foster children in their care are strict. “I am not even allowed to confirm or deny that spe-

Photos by Chris Michlewicz cific children or families are involved with the Denver Department of Human Services,” she said. While the department of human services appreciates the generosity of Lewis’ quilts, Smith said, it “cannot promise to get them directly to the children in this case.” Many foster children in the system could benefit from the donation, Smith said, suggesting that Lewis give the quilts to GIVE Denver, where they can be matched with a qualifying foster family or other family in need. Lewis is not ready to give up. She hopes any public attention will cause someone who knows the family to come forward and help. Her ultimate goal is to “let the boys know somebody cares, because their first few years have been pretty difficult,” Lewis said.

Wings digs in on new airport `digs’ Groundbreaking signals excitement, commitment to new museum construction Special to Colorado Community Media A new flight education and technology center broke ground Dec.1 at Centennial Airport, with the promise of becoming a “launch pad for learning.” The $21 million Wings Over the Rockies Exploration of Flight Education and Technology Center is situated on a 15-acre site on the southeast side of Centennial Airport. It will include two contemporary galleries featuring experience- and flight-based learning activities geared at renewing the state’s leadership in science, technology, engineering and math. According to Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum President Greg Anderson, the ceremonial groundbreaking signals the museum’s commitment to construction of the first of its multi-phased plan, the Blue Sky Aviation Gallery hangar, beginning in 2015. “The Blue Sky Gallery hangar will be the largest feature of this new facility,” explained Anderson. “With a connection to the runway behind us, visitors will be able to see six to eight aircraft, and be immersed in a variety of flight activity.” Beth Cohen, a STEM instructor at Dakota Valley Elementary School in Aurora and part of the Wings Teacher Envoy Program, agrees the new facility will be a welcome addition. Cohen recently took part in the Wings Teacher Flight Program and had the opportunity to experience flight first-hand in a vintage open cockpit biplane.

“For the children who have been touched by this program, dreaming will now become a reality,” she said. For recent graduate Patrick Ivers, of Littleton, his experience with Wings Over the Rockies paved the way to a serious interest in aviation. “I actually just soloed three weeks ago,” he said. Ivers, an Eagle Scout, also helped create the Learning for Life Aviation Outpost at the museum’s Lowry location. With approximately $9 million in pledges toward a goal of $21 million, the groundbreaking affirms the museum’s commitment to construction of the first gallery in 2015. As additional capital is raised, Anderson said the site will include a companion gallery — the Black Sky Space Experience gallery, a theater, restaurant and banquet facilities. Plans for the site also include an aerospace-themed charter school. Construction will begin in early 2015.

Among the planned expenditures on the 2015 Douglas County budget is a $6.2 million driving facility that would be used to train law enforcement as well as the county’s public works staff and possibly others. The money will go toward acquiring the needed land and constructing the facility off of Moore Road, which is located west of Santa Fe Drive in the area of Louviers. “The first part of this year, we lost the only place that we were able to utilize driving training, which at the time was substandard in the first place. That was the Dawson Ridge area,” Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said. “Based on the owner’s concerns, all Douglas county law enforcement lost the ability to use that property.” Spurlock According to Spurlock, there are other locations in the metro area where law enforcement driving training can take place. One of them is Table Top in Jefferson County, which Spurlock said is “almost impossible to get on” and a smaller facility that Arapahoe County put together called Skid Pan, which he said “really doesn’t meet the needs of what a law enforcement training facility is needed for.” The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office recently started a training program that’s being used across the nation called Below 100. Essentially, it is a push across the nation to reduce the number of officer-involved deaths on duty to below 100 per year. The last time that occurred was in 1944. According to Spurlock, 60 percent of all police officer deaths occur from a driving action. “We believe that 60 percent of those could be resolved and a lot of it is done by training and education,” Spurlock said. “A driving track at this facility would allow us to do that very

According to officials, the facility may also be used by local fire departments and possibly the Douglas County School District for driver training. “It is designed for a variety of uses,” Spurlock said. “We would engage in a relationship with the fire department, specifically South Metro Fire, the school districts who drive large vehicles, and, of course, our own county road and bridge (drivers) would be able to utilize a facility like this for driver training.” The county finance staff and commissioners will discuss the budget at three meetings before final approval, scheduled for Dec. 9.

Teachers share excitement with board Castle Rock educators say new style paying off By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Teachers at a Castle Rock elementary school told the school board they are seeing the results of a new style of teaching. “We’re not the sage on stage anymore,” said Nancy Mann, a third-grade teacher at Sage Canyon Elementary. “We’re guides on the side.” Sage Canyon’s curriculum focuses on project-based learning, in which students learn by doing. The style of teaching makes a project the central teaching tool, which ideally prompts students to question and investigate, and work collaboratively. It dovetails with the Douglas County School District’s focus on education that is more student- than teacherled. Five-year-old Sage Canyon adopted project-based learning a year after it opened in 2010. Its staff also has been working with district leaders to implement DCSD curriculum and instructional changes, with teachers using backward lesson planning and coaching one another as they transition to new teaching methods. “It’s changed our lives,” Mann told the school board during a Nov. 18 presentation. “Everyone knows where our district is going, and it’s all making sense. Every single year it makes more sense. We’ve gone from a set mindset to a growth mindset. Everyone in the building has it, so it’s really powerful.” The teachers’ shifting focus is trickling down to the students, who have learned to set goals, Mann said. “All the kids are thinking, `I need to grow. I need to reflect on what I’ve learned and what I’m doing and I need to keep on pushing myself toward excellence,’ ” she said. “That’s what I’m seeing in the entire school. The kids are advocating for themselves: `What’s in my way? Is it attention? Am I talking too much?’ They’re keeping data. They’re making graphs. They’re

Courtesy photo writing reflections. It’s just so cool.” Teacher Heather Pepper said the approach is completely different from her own elementary school education. “Nobody ever told me why I was learning something; they just said, `Because I said so,’” she said. “It feels good as a teacher to say, `Today we’re going to talk about this because, and these are the reasons you need to know this.’ They get it and they love it. It just makes teaching a lot more fun.” School board members and Superin-

tendent Elizabeth Fagen congratulated the teachers on their success. “I do want to emphasize, after over 10 years of thinking about, `How do we move American education forward in the best needs of students so we are moving their future needs and not their past?,’ I’m convinced there’s only one way, and that’s through teacher leadership,” she said. “And you all demonstrated tonight why that is the reason, and the only way we will move our profession and this American institution to the next century.”

Board member Craig Richardson praised teachers for urging students to take “cognitive ownership of their own progress.” “It’s revolutionary,” he said. “What makes me more excited than just getting a distinction or certain rating is knowing we organically are building a system that’s taking each child and moving them so they can have an upward direction in their learning, no matter where they are on the spectrum,” board president Kevin Larsen said.

Search for answers is subject to question “ ‘Famous Brothers’ for $200.” “These Harlem brothers became famous for their obsessive hoarding and booby-hatch behavior.” “Who were the Collyer brothers?” “Correct.” I can’t watch “Jeopardy!” I can’t be around anyone who answers a question with a question. I grew up around it, and now I am allergic to it. I would ask my mother, “Mom, where are the scissors?” and she would say, “Why do you want the scissors?” It happened all the time, and I even tried to give her misleading answers, hoping to frustrate her, but it never did. “Because I need to cut a hole in the back of my pajamas.” “Why do you need to cut a hole in the back of your pajamas?” I will stop there. “ ‘Famous Brothers’ for $400.” “These quibbling brothers had their own television variety program that often featured the tag line, ‘Mom always liked you best.’ ” “Who are the Smothers Brothers?” “Correct.” I think I got off the hook. I have heard that children ask a lot of questions. And that if you give them one answer, they keep asking “Why?” That would make me nuts. Not only that, I don’t have all of the answers. Why is the sky blue instead of purple? Why aren’t there any grapes in my Grape Nuts? Why are there two Kansas Citys? What’s the difference between a stone and a rock? What is the difference between

a boat and a ship? What are fingernails made out of? I know I would be stuck with a kid like that. “What are cat skills, daddy?” “Catskills?” “No, cat skills.” I would probably say, “Who’s on first?” and drive to a pub. “ ‘Famous Brothers’ for $600.” “Oh, brother. Their names were Joseph, Francis, George, Madison and Albert, and they all died when the USS Juneau was sunk in World War II.” “Who were the Sullivans?” “That is correct.” By answering a question with a question, we are giving ourselves a little more time to answer the question. Chances are we don’t know the answer, and the extra time allows us to make one up. “Why did you park the car on the sidewalk?” “Did I park the car on the sidewalk?” “ ‘Famous Brothers’ for $800.” “They were German academics who collected and published folk tales, which they popularized into such stories as ‘Ra-

Near-term action key to long-term success The other day I found myself talking with my 23-year-old son. Each day, I communicate with all of my children in some way, usually a call or a text, if we can’t get together in person. And since they are all in their mid- or early 20s, sometimes the texts get me the quickest response. If you are a parent, you know what I mean, right? As I asked my son what his long-term goals/big-picture vision was and what his near-term activity would be to support his dreams and vision, I realized that as much as I have coached and counseled others, and as much as my son had seen me speak, read my columns, and heard me guide others, I never really gave him the tools he needed to really get grounded and firmly settled in a true goals program. Maybe I assumed he was catching on

punzel,’ and ‘Hansel and Gretel.’ ” “Who were the Grimms?” “Judges, can we accept ‘Grimms’?” “Yes? You could have answered, ‘Who were the Brothers Grimm?’” “Alex, geeze.” I don’t like it when someone beats around the bush. There can be a little bit of evasiveness and deception in answering a question with a question. Martin Short portrayed Nathan Thurm, a very slippery attorney on “Saturday Night Live,” who perspired and chain-smoked, and rarely answered a question with an answer. “Is that what they said?” he would say, brilliantly dodging accountability. I know a woman who will answer, “Yes, who’s in it?” whenever I ask her if she has seen a film. She knows that it bothers me. I will ask her, “Have you seen ‘The Big Sleep’?” When she says, “Yes, who’s in it?” I know she hasn’t seen it, and I don’t know why she says she has when she hasn’t. Maybe a famous psychologist could figure that one out. “ ‘Famous Brothers’ for $1,000.” “She was a famous psychologist who was the first woman to win the grand prize on ‘The $64,000 Question’ by answering questions about boxing.” “Who was Joyce?” “Correct.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

The holidays are a time for celebration and for being thankful for family, friends and good health. For the approximately 2,500 people awaiting organ donations in Colorado, it’s a time of hope that the New Year will bring good news and a phone call that could change their lives. In 2001, this waiting game became my reality when I was diagnosed with a rare liver disease called primary sclerosing cholangitis that would eventually lead to liver failure. I was given just 10 years to live unless I received a liver transplant. After 12 long years, I received that lifechanging call. The day started out like any other and after so many years of anticipating that moment, when I answered the phone I burst into tears knowing that I was finally going to get a second chance at life. Since receiving the transplant, my energy is back and I am starting to live my life again. I even competed in the Transplant Games of America this past summer, a feat that I could have never imagined during

Anniversary of tragedy is a time for self-care Next week, the one-year anniversary of the tragedy at Arapahoe High School will be upon us. Time is said to heal all wounds, and much healing has happened in our community since December 2013. However, the anniversary of any traumatic event is likely to stir up emotions and feelings in many people, adults and students alike. As the anniversary of the Dec. 13, 2013 shooting approaches, tune into your own feelings and those of the people close to you. I want to encourage us all to participate in the culture promoted by Arapahoe High School, “Warriors take care of Warriors.” I’m offering some behaviors to be aware of and ways in which you can be supportive when someone is struggling. All people react differently to trauma regardless of their age or connection to the event. Typically, though, people may

kids about their goals, why hadn’t I actively made sure that my own children were also getting the same attention? Their dreams and goals are so important to them, and the good news is it’s not too late to make sure they know how to set, pursue, and achieve their goals. So if you have children, friends, employees, or even a boss that has not been introduced to a system for setting and achieving their goals, it’s never too late to start, espe-

become irritable, fearful, withdrawn or anxious. These are common feelings and they are OK. You can help students, educators, friends and family in these ways. Be honest and open when talking with children and teens and listen to their concerns. You may notice changes in eating, sleeping and socialization patterns. Whenever a person’s regular life habits change drastically, it is usually a sign that they are in distress. An anniversary of a

traumatic event can cause those things to happen. Listen to them, provide support and if you become concerned or if symptoms persist, listen to your gut, take action, get them help from a professional. Be prepared that the anniversary is nearing. It will be helpful to have some idea about how you want to spend your time around this date. Think through what resiliency strategies work well for you. Some ideas include: connecting with others, journaling, quiet time to reflect, participating in activities that you enjoy, exercise, eating healthy, avoiding caffeine, sugar, nicotine and alcohol and, most importantly, doing what you can to get plenty of sleep. In addition, it always feels good to focus outside of ourselves. Consider reaching out to others to offer a hand, to give a word of encouragement, to share a meal or participate in an activity that

benefits others. It is likely that there will be substantial media coverage of the events of last year. Monitor media intake so as not to overload on details and facts — or opinions — that may have a negative effect on you or a loved one. Anniversaries, good and bad, serve the purpose of marking a milestone and the passage of time. It is healthy to acknowledge the past as well as the strides toward healing that have been made in the last year. Let’s be prepared for this milestone and make good choices for ourselves and one another. This will enable us to continue healing, connecting and taking positive steps forward.

cially as we approach another New Year. So here is lesson number one, short and sweet and not overly complicated. Identify what it is they are most passionate about, what they would like to achieve, and then help them to determine why this is so important to them. Do this without judgment, these are their goals not yours. If you prejudice their views and dreams with your own belief system, you will stifle their desire for achievement. Lesson number two, and just like I asked my son, identify what the near-term activity will be necessary to support and achieve their long-term/big-picture goals and dreams. What can they be doing in the

“now” that will set them up for success in the future? Lesson number three, inspect what they expect. Become a great accountability partner. Now don’t confuse this with telling others what to do; it is about gaining trust and buy-in from them so that they recognize where they are falling short and where they are making positive strides. Again, if you tell people what to do, they resist. If you help people become self-aware of what to do and ask questions about how they are doing, they are always more likely to remain engaged and appreciate your role as an accountability partner. Don’t confuse this with being wishy-washy, as an account-

ability partner for someone trying to reach a goal, we have to be firm and fair in our approach. So there you have it, three simple lessons for helping someone get started on their success journey. How are you doing on yours? I would love to hear all about it and help in any way that I can if you will email me at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we set a path toward success, it really will be a better than good week.

Immigration order spurs conflicting responses Obama’s decision has some Republicans up in arms By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Ana Temu Vidrio’s stepfather woke up the morning of Nov. 20 in a good mood before leaving for work, the young woman said the following day. On Nov. 20, President Obama announced that he would take steps to protect millions of undocumented immigrants like Vidrio’s stepfather from the threat of deportation. “Yesterday, he couldn’t wait to get out the door and tell his co-workers this announcement was coming,” she said during a Denver press event where she was joined by dozens of other energized immigration-reform activists who praised Obama’s action. “I love this president,” said one woman, speaking in broken English and pointing to an Obama sign that read, “Gracias Senor Presidente.” Others around her chanted, “Si, se puede!” — the Spanish translation of Obama’s famous “Yes we can” campaign rallying cry. The night before, Obama delivered on what he had been hinting at for months — that he would take executive action on certain areas of federal immigration policy, a response to Congress’ continuing failure to pass immigration reform. Obama’s moves will add more border resources and also will make it easier for high-skilled workers, college graduates and entrepreneurs to stay in the country. But the key and controversial component of Obama’s actions will allow millions of undocumented immigrants to “come out of the shadows” and have the ability to stay in the country temporarily, without the threat of deportation. During a nationally televised address, Obama made it clear that his actions will not apply to every immigrant living in the country, only to those who have lived here for at least five years and who have no criminal history, among other provisions. The president said his actions will better allow agents to prioritize deportations, focusing on security threats rather than moth-

Photo by Vic Vela ers and fathers who are here to work. “Felons, not families. Criminals, not children. Gang members, not a mom who’s working hard to provide for her kids. We’ll prioritize, just like law enforcement does every day,” Obama said. Obama stressed that his action does not grant citizenship or the right to stay in the country permanently. “All we’re saying is we’re not going to deport you,” he said. The president said his action — which he stressed was within his legal authority — was a result of inaction on the part of Congress. Congress has yet to send a compre-

hensive immigration reform measure to Obama’s desk. The Senate passed a bill last year, but it has yet to receive a vote on the House floor. “And to those members of Congress who question my authority to make our immigration system work better or question the wisdom of me acting where Congress has failed, I have one answer: Pass a bill,” Obama said.

GOP criticizes action But Republicans claim that Obama’s action now makes it impossible for an immigration reform measure to get to his desk. “President Obama wants a partisan polit-

ical wedge issue, not meaningful, sensible, compassionate immigration reform,” said Republican Congressman Mike Coffman, who represents Colorado’s 6th Congressional District. “The president’s unilateral actions will make it harder for Congress to fix the immigration system, and the worst part is — that seems to be exactly his intention.” State Republican Party Chairman Ryan Call blasted Obama’s “outrageous decision to do an end run around Congress.” Call said Obama’s moves are particularly audacious, considering how many Democrats suffered losses nationally during the recent midterm elections. “President Obama is thumbing his nose at the American people, ignoring the clear message they sent just two weeks ago when they elected Republicans to control both chambers of Congress,” Call said. Republicans claim Obama has exceeded his executive powers through his actions. But several other presidents, both Democrats and Republicans, have taken similar measures. They include Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, who also took executive action to protect undocumented immigrants from deportation. In a speech in Las Vegas the day after his announcement, Obama mocked Republicans’ claim that his perceived overreach will make passing immigration reform more difficult. “Why? I didn’t dissolve Parliament,” Obama quipped. “That’s not how the system works.” Obama received praise from Democratic Sens. Mark Udall and Michael Bennet, as well as from local House Democrats. “In the face of legislative inaction, the president was forced to move the country forward,” said Congressman Ed Perlmutter, who represents the state’s 7th Congressional District. Vidrio agrees. The young woman, who is a U.S. citizen and a college student, expressed the relief that will come to her stepfather as a result of Obama’s moves. “I am very happy that my stepfather will no longer have to live in fear driving my brother to school or even the store or work because of the president’s announcement yesterday,” she said.

Dog-bite numbers reflect popularity Labradors rack up most incidents along Front Range By Burt Hubbard and Jeremy Jojola

Rocky Mountain PBS I-News and 9News Every day along the Front Range, at least eight people are bitten by dogs, according to a six-month investigation by Rocky Mountain PBS I-News and 9News. Officials said the numbers may seem high, but the public should not be surprised. “If a dog has teeth, it has the potential to bite,” said Sgt. Stephen Romero, animal control investigator in Denver. “And if it’s in the right conditions, circumstances, it can potentially bite.” I-News and 9News analyzed bite incidents from most major cities and counties along the Front Range from Colorado Springs to Boulder that took place between 2012 and early 2014. The investigation found that about 6,500 dog bites were reported to police or animal control officials. That’s more than eight a day. The breeds of the biting dogs were available for about two thirds of the bites. It showed that Labradors and Lab mixes recorded the highest

number, accounting for 416 of the bites. However, they were also the most popular pet breed, accounting for about one in every seven dogs registered along the Front Range, so there are many more of them. “It’s Labs and Lab mixes that bite more than any other animal,” said Romero, who got an infection from a Lab bite while on duty. “Labs are good dogs. It’s just how you raise them.” Labradors were followed by German shepherds, pit bulls, Chihuahuas and bulldogs. Alice Nightengale, director of the Denver Animal Shelter, said humans can be as much to blame for dog bites as their pets. “Just because a dog bites does not mean it’s a bad dog,” Nightengale said. “I think humans have a lot of responsibility for dog bites.” Several jurisdictions, including El Paso and Douglas County, which accounted for about 2,000 bites, included the severity and where people were bit. It showed only about 4 percent were deemed severe, with about 25 percent considered moderate and 70 percent labeled minor. The same data also included information on where humans were bit. Hands were the most common, accounting for about 34 percent of the 2,000 bites. That was followed by leg bites, 23 percent. Bites to the face including eyes, noses and ears accounted for 19.4 percent and bites to the arms totaled 15 percent. The circumstances leading to dog bites

Labradors and Lab mixes recorded the highest number of bites among breeds along the Front Range, according to research by I-News and 9News. Shutterstock photo varied. Sometimes, dogs may be protecting their territory from intrusion, and other times, they feel threatened, said dog trainer Sean Miller. “Once a dog does bite someone, they immediately gain a sense of control because 100 percent of the time we flinch,” Miller said. Hillary Penner suffered serious bites to the hand while she was trying to help her female dog get away from another dog that

had attacked her pet. She said she has no regrets. “Even though, I have scars on my arms … I am lucky I have her at the end of the day,” Penner said. The series on Front Range dogs, K9 Confidential, was a collaboration between Rocky Mountain PBS I-News and 9News. Contact reporter Burt Hubbard at bhubbard@inewsnetwork.org.

Group champions domestic energy Douglas County coalition says it aims to educate By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com A new Douglas County organization will look to educate the public on the economic benefits of domestic energy development, specifically oil and natural gas. The Douglas County Energy Coalition held its first meeting Nov. 20 at Brio Tuscan Grille in Lone Tree. The group will educate the public on

energy issues and their potential economic impact on the county, coalition chair Amy Sherman said. Sherman is the president of the Northwest Douglas County Economic Development Corp., an organization she helped create in November 2011. The Northwest Douglas County EDC covers Roxborough, Sterling Ranch, the Santa Fe corridor and western Highlands Ranch. “I think that in Douglas County, like the rest of Colorado, people care a lot about the environment, but also about economic issues,” Sherman said. “There is no fracking in Douglas County, so I think for people here it’s more about jobs and employers and employees.”

The coalition will host meetings and speakers and serve as a resource for residents and business owners about changes in energy legislation and development, Sherman said. The oil and natural gas industry generates $30 billion for Colorado’s economy, she said. Principles like national energy independence and property rights, as well as the economic benefits that domestic energy production creates, are important to Douglas County residents, she said. The coalition is currently putting together a steering committee of prominent community leaders and business owners, including Douglas County Commissioner Rodger Partridge; Pam Ridler, Castle Rock

Chamber of Commerce president; Andrea LaRew, Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce president; and representatives of various energy companies. The coalition does not presently have any events scheduled, but Sherman said it would begin hosting informational sessions and gatherings after the new year. “I think as business owners and leaders we often are a little more informed about these issues because they affect us directly, and our main goal is to share that information and educate people on the energy opportunities that we have here in Colorado,” Sherman said.

PARKER NEWS IN A HURRY Help cheer holidays for kids

dren. The sheriff’s office will purchase gift cards with monetary donations. Checks can be made out to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office with “Christmas for Kids” denoted in the memo line. Donations can be mailed to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Christmas for Kids, 4000 Justice Way, Castle Rock, 80109.

On Nov. 21, a siding installer told the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office that his scaffolding had been disassembled and taken from a site near the first theft. He estimated its value at around $5,000. The man said he had not had any problems with employees and has not fired anyone recently. There were no suspects and police were unable to collect evidence.

Cherry Hills event gets tip of PGA cap

“River and Tree Near Mt. Shavano” by Andy Marquez. Courtesy photos

Marquez has long history in Littleton IF YOU GO

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com The photographs in a new collection, titled “When the Spirit Calls,” by Littleton’s Andy Marquez, are his first releases in a year, he said. He will hold an opening on Dec. 4 (noon to 6 p.m.); Dec. 5 (noon to 6 p.m.) and Dec. 6 (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) in the Andy Marquez Gallery. They include photos from the Colorado high country, Arches and Zion national parks, Roxborough State Park, Trailmark and Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. His gallery is on the second floor of

“When the Spirit Calls,” an exhibit of new images by Andy Marquez, opens Dec. 4 to 6 in the gallery at unit 206 of the Littletown Building, 2329 W. Main Street, Littleton. Hours: Dec. 4 and 5, noon to 6 p.m.; Dec. 6, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For other gallery hours, call 303-797-6040.

the Littletown Building, 2329 W. Main Street, unit 206, in downtown Littleton. Marquez opened his first Littleton gallery in 1992, and was part of the local business community. In 2004, he was walking near his Roxborough home and was hit by a motorcyclist in a nearfatal accident. He recovered, moved the gallery to two Denver locations and

eventually returned to Littleton’s Main Street, where he started teaching workshops. Over the years, he expanded his horizons from nature photography in Colorado to capturing scenes all over the world. He visited 32 countries and six continents, according to his website, continuing to travel after his accident, when he climbed the Great Wall of China, aided by a cane. He has published six books — copies of some may be available at the gallery. “A photograph must capture the heart and soul of a scene during that brief moment in time when divine light and natural shadow converge. The result is an image that draws you in and holds you spellbound,” he wrote.

For an unprecedented third year in a row, the BMW Championship was named the PGA Tour’s Tournament of the Year at the tour’s tournament meeting on Nov. 20 in La Quinta, Calif. The award was one of three earned by the 2014 BMW Championship, which also won the “Best On-Site Staging” and “Best Advertising Campaign/Promotional Idea” awards for this year’s tournament at Cherry Hills Country Club. Conducted by the Western Golf Association, the 2014 BMW Championship continued to raise awareness and support for the Evans Scholars Foundation, the WGA’s 84-year-old sister organization that has been sending caddies to college since 1930. The penultimate event in the FedEx Cup Playoffs, the BMW Championship was one of the top-attended tournaments on the PGA Tour in 2014, attracting more than 125,000 spectators to Cherry Hills. “On behalf of the PGA Tour, I am delighted to congratulate the BMW Championship for the special recognition it has received with these three awards,” said Andy Pazder, PGA Tour executive vice president and chief of operations. “The tournament staff should be extremely proud of its hard work and for being recognized as the PGA Tour Tournament of the Year for the third consecutive season.” Benchmarks achieved by the BMW Championship in 2014 — in the areas of revenue growth, charity integration, event advertising, host club and community support, title sponsor integration and player and caddie hospitality — were all significant factors in the event being named Tournament of the Year, tour officials said.

Top Chef winner opens eatery

It’s been years in the making, but Hosea Rosenberg, the much-heralded “Top Chef” season five winner, finally opened Blackbelly Market, a restaurant and butcher shop in a nondescript strip mall in east Boulder (1606 Conestoga St. No. 3). Focused on seasonal and fresh farm-totable offerings, the contemporary menu features Blackbelly Farms’ own livestock and locally sourced small-farm produce. There’s also an in-house butcher shop, crafted charcuterie program, and gourmet pantry sundries for sale at the small front-of-house market. During the media party, we sampled specialty cocktails (including Pirate’s Apples made with Havana Club Rum, Leopold’s NY Apple Whiskey, lemon and hot cider), housemade charcuterie, a cheese plate, kobe beef hangar steak, a three-squash soup with apple bits and other assorted goodies. For more information, go to www.blackbelly.com.

Zagat, the national publication and website whose editorial team curates the best restaurants and nightspots in 18 cities worldwide, recently released its picks for The 12 Hottest Bakeries Around the U.S. And among that coveted 12 is Maria Empanada, an Argentinean bakery in Platt Park. Here’s what the editors said: “At this captivating Platt Park Argentinean bakery, which opened in spring, owner Lorena Cantarovici turns out the city’s most celebrated empanadas, their gold-tinged crusts enveloping everything from olives and scrambled eggs to sweet corn and spinach. And that’s not all: her tartas and Spanish tortillas are objects of beauty too, as are the sweet medialunas and dulce de leche roll cake.” Maria Empanada is located at 1298 S.

White Fence Farm changes hands After 41 years of ownership by the Wilson family, Lakewood’s venerable White Fence Farm has changed hands. The new owners, P&C Family Farm Restaurants, led by business partners and hospitality veterans Craig Caldwell and Tom Piercy, said they won’t change the family-friendly ambience nor chicken dinner menu. “It took me a long time to find the right

owner,” said Charlie Wilson, whose family converted their property along Jewell Avenue into the destination restaurant. “It takes a certain type of person with the know-how, experience and love of the community to become the proprietor of our family legacy. We had numerous conversations, but it never felt right until I met Tom and Craig. “Tom grew up with the original White Fence Farm in Joliet (Ill.). His childhood memories are similar to mine; he understands the joy, challenges and surprises. I never wanted this place to grow stale and old. I needed someone with enthusiasm and innovation, and these guys were per-

fect. And, the most important part, they aren’t going to change a thing, except for a few family photos on the wall.” The 80-acre Wilson Farm was an original working hay and cattle farm. Today, it operates as a family enclave, and more than 5 million chicken dinners have been served since 1973. More information: www.wff-co.net.

`She Loves Me’ easy to watch at Arvada Center Play is night of simple pleasure for audience By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com The set for “She Loves Me,” designed by talented Brian Mallgrave, immediately captures one’s imagination upon entering the Arvada Center’s theater — it almost resembles a rich European pastry, with frosted curlicues and closed crust that will open soon to reveal a tasty filling. It promises an old-fashioned, cozy romantic performance, demanding no stressful effort from the viewer — just pleasure. Time and place: 1930s Budapest, Hungary: Maraczek’s perfumery and surrounds. Employees of the traditional perfumery — which sells lotions, scents, soaps, shampoos and other popular items — meet in front of the shop to begin the day, as other citizens walk through the street. The song “Good Morning, Good Day” introduces Sipos (Rob Costigan), Arpad (Parker Redford), Ilona ( Jennifer Lorae), Kodaly (Gregory Gerbrandt) and Georg (Andrew Russell) — all employees of Maraczek’s. Director Gavin Mayer has helped each define a special quality from the start as they interact with each other, their boss (Mark Rubald), new hire Amalia Balash ( Julia Jackson) and a bevy of assorted customers. The cast is large, but seems even larger due to lightning costume and personality changes. The play, by American playwright Joe Masterhoff (“Cabaret”) is based on a 1937 confection, “Parfumerie,” written

IF YOU GO “She Loves Me” plays through Dec. 21 at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays; 1 p.m. Wednesdays; 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets start at $53, arvadacenter.org, 720-898-7200.

by Hungarian playwright Miklos Lazlo, which tells of a pair of feuding clerks who are writing to secret pen pals found in the newspaper’s lovelorn columns … “Dear Friend,” they begin. It has been the source for several American movies — the best-known is “You’ve Got Mail”— and became a musical in 1963, with score by Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock (“Fiddler on the Roof”). Costumes are well-chosen and, for the women especially, carefully accessorized with hats, glove, handbags … The score is pleasing with waltzes and other dance music carrying the story along — played by a strong pit orchestra. Voices are clear and strong and we took special note of Gregory Gerbrandt, who plays smarmy womanizer Steven Kodaly and is making his Arvada Center debut. Stephen Day, with operatic voice and comic chops, is always a delight, and the entire cast consists of solo-quality performers — nearly all Equity actors — who give a glossy professional polish to a less than heavy-duty bit of material. Mayer’s direction added grace notes, such as the scene change to the Café Imperial, where actors danced in with the set pieces and kept on dancing — charming. The play begins in summer and progresses to the Christmas season, with a decorated shop, but as Gavin Mayer writes: “The musical’s themes are timeless and make us long for a simpler day …”

Littleton gallery has outdoor feel Painter worked under sky for years on end By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com In a large, airy pop-up gallery at Aspen Grove in Littleton, painter Ted Garcia is exhibiting the collected works he painted over a five-year period. On New Year’s Day, 2009, the Evergreenbased artist determined to paint en plein air, out of doors, every day for the next year, no matter what the weather brought. He met that goal and went on for four more years, with a total of 2,014 paintings accumulated on a remarkable journey. Most of them are 8-by-10 canvas boards, with a few slightly larger ones. All are painted with oil paints. They are hung chronologically, starting with the 2009 paintings, continuing through June 2014. A section of wall to the right of the entrance is Garcia’s Feature Wall, with a special selection of things he is thankful for on Nov. 23, when we visited. It will change out regularly. Subjects range from massive Coors Field and Union Station to a single delicate columbine, “Colorado Beauty,” to Colorado’s unique Red Rocks formations to red-winged blackbirds, a pair of wild turkeys he found in Turkey Creek Canyon and a pair of alert pronghorns. On one day, he came across an old red tractor and on an-

WANTED: 5 HOMES

other, one of his favorite adventures was the first moose he had ever seen. There are landscapes in every season, sunsets and more. Some empty spaces are marked with red dots, meaning there have been a number of sales already. He hopes to plug in photos of the missing paintings so the tale of his five-year journey remains complete. (The 8-by-10 canvases are priced at $150.) On one unusual day, he felt his first earthquake when painting in the Tetons. He has roamed into Oklahoma, Arizona and Utah in addition to Colorado. In summer, he said, he especially enjoys recording florals. The papery texture of poppies holds a particular appeal and a viewer finds them in white, red, orange and in a mix with other colorful blooms. In the fall, aspens call out in groves and as single trees. Other fall colors also appear, phasing into winter’s bare branches and snow-frosted evergreens. In winter, he looks for light and shadow contrasts. Fireworks record New Year’s Eve and Evergreen’s Skate-the-Lake. “The scene dictates how to paint it — loose or tight,” he said. Garcia, a tall, soft-spoken man, attended Colorado Institute of Art, studying graphics. He met his wife, Cindy Sahli, also a graphic artist, and studied painting with Don Sahli, “who taught me to free up.” The couple has a graphics business that does work for Aspen Grove, and the management proposed the pop-up gallery to Garcia. On Fridays, from 5 to 7 p.m., visitors can enjoy “Moments With the Artist,” discussing a variety of topics, enhanced by a glass of wine.

Mosaic aims to ease young patients’ stress ‘Bubble Hunt’ hangs at Children’s Hospital By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Members of the Colorado Mosaic Artists, who number about 50 throughout the state, hope that “Bubble Hunt,” an interactive mosaic mural, will help relieve tension for children while awaiting medical attention. The mosaic, now at Children’s Hospital Colorado in Aurora, contains 43 individual mosaics from 24 artists and consumed over 600 hours in its construction, according to publicist/mosaic artist Marlea Taylor of Englewood. The “Bubble Hunt” mosaic is filled with many small toys and items children can identify. Member Becky Whitington, a retired educator, created a game that families can play, giving them a break in what is probably an anxious time. Each participating CMA member was assigned mosaic bubbles of certain size and color and they began searching toy boxes

of children and grandchildren to find little items the right size and color. Each of 150 bubbles is a miniature work of art. A month later, bubbles were glued on a fiber mesh foundation and adhered to vertical panels according to an overall rainbow design. A gray and white flowering background was pieced together and the group grouted the piece. CMA member Ron Candelaria, who is also a woodworker, framed the panel and it was ready for presentation to Children’s Hospital, where it hangs in the MRI waiting room. An exhibit of individual works by contributing members, called “Mosaic Magic,” is in the Hamilton Gallery at the hospital through January 11. South area members of the CMA include Kathy Boland and Lisa Stevens of Highlands Ranch; Krystie Rose Millich, Ron Candeleria and Barb Arne of Littleton; Carol Newman and Susan Judy of Centennial; Judy Pendelton of Parker; and Marlea Taylor and Deborah Griffith of Englewood. The organization, which offers classes, welcomes new members — see the website at coloradomosaics.org.

Art competition is Littleton `Original’ 58 jurored works on display at city museum By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Freshly painted pale peach panels provide a pleasing background for the 58 works chosen by juror Tom Lundberg to be displayed in the 2014 Own an Original competition, running through Jan. 11 at the Littleton Museum. Open annually to Colorado artists, it was originally conceived by an early Fine Arts Committee (now called Fine Arts Board) to offer Colorado artists a place to exhibit their work, as well as a location where Littleton art lovers might find original art for gifts and for their homes. With the gift idea in mind, there were a number of small pieces of fine crafts exhibited as well as paintings. Now, there are many galleries in Denver that carry ceramics and jewelry and small artworks, and the OAO has primarily become a display for larger paintings and a few sculptural pieces — although there are a couple of handsome ceramic items. This year’s juror, Tom Lundberg, is a fiber artist and professor in the strong art department at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, where he coordinates the studio program in fiber media and works with students in the fields of art, design, education and entrepreneurship. His work is exhibited widely and he leads workshops in the U.S and abroad. Just to the right of the entrance to the gallery, three of Lundberg’s exquisite embroideries are exhibited. A close look at the detail is warranted. The juror was quite selective, so the show has fewer works than usual — nicely spaced, with room to breathe. We are told there were 313 images by 113 artists entered. Of those, 58 pieces by 43 artists were selected. A large percentage of the chosen works are representational. Lundberg awarded “Best of Show” to Stephen Austin for his strong vertical painting “Mount Evans,” which is listed as “charcoal on panel.” Beneath the charcoal linear

LEFT: “Mt. Evans, “ by Stephen Austin, is named Best of Show in the 2014 Own An Original Exhibit, open through Jan. 11 at the Littleton Museum. RIGHT: “Lord and Vassal,” assemblage by Michelle Lamb, occupies a colorful corner at the exhibit. Photos by Sonya Ellingboe work there is a painted layer of earthy, angular surface, akin to a rocky slope. First place went to a small, delicate oil painting by Shanelle Deater, called “Moon Rise, San Joaquin Valley.” Excellent technique is evident — the visitor will want to look closely. In second place is Ronnie Cramer’s de-

ceptively simple, crisp watercolor called “Teller,” depicting a proud little old white post office, with flag flying and mountains behind. Third place was awarded to “Maine Boatyard,” a casein painting by Helen Shaffer. Several interesting three-dimensional works are included in this show: Michele Lamb of Littleton has two assemblages, listed as mixed media. They are “Lord and

Vassal” and “Conception,” both inspiring one to make up stories. A resin and clay wall sculpture, “Caged Blue,” by Lisa Calzavera (a previous OAO winner for paintings), looks like it’s going to start moving up the wall at any minute, while a geometric bronze, “Architectural Form 2,” by Mike Snyder invites a look at form and shadow. “River Dancer” by Toby Baker is created from “found flood sticks.”

Towns embrace holiday spirit Elizabeth and Kiowa get into the swing of the season with weekend events By Rick Gustafson

Special to Colorado Community Media For those not wishing to cap their Thanksgiving weekend with combat shopping at the mall, two towns in Elbert County commenced their Christmas season with family-friendly alternatives. Elizabeth began the afternoon of Nov. 29 with An Olde Country Christmas on East Main Street and the holiday events continued into the evening with Kiowa’s Eighth Annual Lighting of the Lights Seasonal Celebration. Though separate events, the Elizabeth Area Chamber of Commerce and the Town of Kiowa coordinated the timing, so the festivities’ main events did not overlap. Elizabeth kicked off its holiday celebration Saturday afternoon at the Olde Hotel Square with the Victorian-clad A Bit o’ Dickens Carolers entertaining visitors. With arrival of Saint Nick, Mayor H. Clay Hurst invited everyone to join him and Santa in the square for a treelighting ceremony. “Don’t be shy,” the mayor encouraged. “I know Santa is a nice guy.” Following a countdown and the tree lighting, little ones lined up for pictures with Santa. Hot dogs, sodas and hot coffee were available from L’Roast Bucket. Kiowa’s start to the holiday season began with the Elbert County Coalition for Outreach’s thrift store sale in the Lion’s Club Building. Forty shoppers lined up before the doors opened to take advantage of the 50 percent-off pricing. By 4:30, the store’s staff had served more than 150 customers. “For some of our customers,” director Pam

Ava Wallace visits with Santa on Nov. 29 during An Olde Country Christmas in Elizabeth.

The carolers, from left, are Dean Carlson, Elsa Schroeder, Ann Kirkpatrick and David Chambless. Photos by Rick Gustafson Witucki said, “this is the only Christmas shopping they can or will do this year.” The basement of the Lions Club building was open for children’s games and crafts. Visitors were also encouraged to bring a nonperishable food item to help neighbors in need. ECCO is a nonprofit organization founded in 2006 and serves as a contact point for local resources. The organization also sponsors educational workshops, providing life tools to the community. With his reindeer still in training for their big night, Santa’s arrival at the town hall that evening was courtesy of the Kiowa Fire District’s pumper truck. Mayor Jason Kerbs along with his special guest from the North Pole presided over the Eighth Annual Lighting of the Lights from the Kiowa Town Hall steps. Following a few quick words of appreciation to the business and members of the community, the switch was flipped, lighting the town hall and the two 60-foot trees growing in the lawn. Following the lighting, the gathering of nearly 200 moved from town hall down Comanche Street to Patty Anns Café, where Angie Hooper opened the doors to her restaurant, with a serving counter laden with complimentary treats like meatballs rolled with bacon, chicken wings, three different soups and chips. While Santa set up shop in the back dining room to hear Christmas wishes and pose for pictures, Hooper’s staff darted through the capacity crowd clearing plates, filling coffee and soda cups, and delivering cups of hot chocolate topped with whipped cream. “It gets bigger every year,” Hooper said. When asked how many people she planned for, Hooper responded with a shrug and said, “I don’t. I’m Italian. If a little is good, a lot is better. But this may be the first year I’ve run out of food.”

Valor dethroned by Cherry Creek Eagles fall short in bid for sixth straight football championship By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Valor Christian football coach Rod Sherman held his head high late in the afternoon Nov. 29 at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Cherry Creek kept Valor from winning its sixth straight state football championship with a thrilling 25-24 victory over the Eagles in the Class 5A title game on a warm November afternoon. Valor’s 26-game playoff winning streak was snapped when Creek’s DJ Luke plunged into the end zone on a two-point conversion with 5:09 still to play, pushing the Bruins to a decisive one-point lead. “I’m sure much will be written now that we’re 26-1 in the playoffs,” said Sherman. “It’s still about the journey whether the season ends and you’re a state champion or the season ends and you’re in second place. We’re going to regroup. “We put on a great show for all the fans that came out. I’m proud of our kids. I’m not hanging my head at all.” Valor Christian trailed 10-3 at halftime but rallied in the second half behind two touchdowns passes by sophomore quarterback Dylan McCaffrey and Danny Rambo’s 89-yard kickoff return for a score. The Eagles twice had touchdown leads but Creek’s Milo Hall, who rushed for 214 yards

Valor’s Nathan Whitmore, center, moves in to block a Cherry Creek defender as Eagles quarterback Dylan McCaffrey runs the ball. McCaffrey finished the championship game by throwing 16 of 30 for 233 yards with two touchdown passes . Photo by Tom Munds and two TDs, scored on a dramatic 24-yard run to pull the Bruins to within 24-23. Hall eluded three tackles and straightarmed a defender while running backward on his scoring run. Valor was called for a facemask on the play, and Cherry Creek elected to move the ball closer to the goal line and attempt the two-point conversion. “If we don’t get it, it’s not a very smart call,”

said Cherry Creek coach Dave Logan who won his seventh state title at his fourth different school. “I thought we had a little bit of momentum there, and the offensive line felt that we could knock them off the ball. It had been hard sledding inside against Valor. I felt like we could get a yard and a half and so we went for it. It worked. “Valor’s a great program. They have great players and they are well coached so we knew this was going to be a heavyweight fight. I’m so proud of my kids for having the mental toughness to hang in there and execute so good when it counted.” The successful conversion allowed Creek (11-3) to win its ninth state championship and first since 1996. “The way they had been running the ball, it made sense,” said Sherman. “I thought it was a good call. My hat goes off to Creek. That was a great football game.” Cherry Creek, led by Hall, rushed for 363 yards and had 455 yards in total offense. “Probably second to Christian (McCaffrey), he’s the best back I’ve seen in this state since I’ve been here,” said Sherman. “We hit him a lot and he was still really strong and made a lot of missed tackles. Man, what a great player. He’s the Player of the Year in my opinion.” Valor (10-4) managed to rush for only 47

yards but McCaffrey completed 16 of 30 passes for 233 yards and hooked up with Ben Waters on a 61-yard scoring strike and Rambo on a 15-yard TD pitch. “I felt there were a lot of emotions up and down,” added Sherman. “Great teams respond to adversity, and I thought there were two great teams that both responded. They responded a little bit more at the end. There is nothing that we are going to hang our heads about. I’m really, really proud of what our kids accomplished this year.” Junior Gabriel Kortz and Eric Lee Jr. led the Valor defense with 12 and nine tackles, respectively. With Creek leading 10-3 early in the third quarter the Bruins were at the Valor 1-yard line when Kortz stripped the ball from Hall and Grant Craver recovered. That led to Valor scoring 14 straight points and then the teams exchanged touchdowns but the Eagles could move the ball after Luke’s two-point conversion run. “In the first half emotionally we weren’t at the level we needed to play at and that was our thought coming out in the second half,” said Sherman. “We had to play at a really high level and fight for 24 minutes. “I’m so proud of the way our kids responded. We could have folded up our tents.”

BASKETBALL PREVIEW

Centers of attention Old-fashioned pivot play becomes lost art as modern skill-sets expand By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com A quick history lesson: Basketball centers used to rule in the paint. Decades ago, thoughts of tall players operating anywhere but inside the paint would have seemed outrageous. Today, it’s somewhat unusual to see a big player primarily stationed around the pivot. Old-fashioned back-to-the-basket centers are becoming extinct. A lack of skill and technique keeps most players from being dominate post powers. More and more taller youngsters have developed the skills to dribble and shoot from the outside. “Being a non-post player has always been more glamorous,” said Highlands Ranch boys coach Bob Caton. “Players do not want to go in the gym or the playground and work on their post moves. It has always been that way. Nobody roots for the big in basketball.” Playing inside can be tough. “To find players that are willing to be physical, not mind the contact down low, don’t mind doing some of the dirty work, are willing to work on footwork and box outs, rebounding and shot blocking are almost impossible

to a find,” Rock Canyon girls coach Matt Hema said. Mountain Vista girls coach Mike Willahan thinks true post players are becoming extinct. “Anymore post play is almost a lost art,” he said. “Players are becoming more well-rounded. Most of these girls see the 3-point line, and that’s where they start shooting from. Even in the youth leagues, I don’t think post play is taught anymore. It’s let’s work on ball handling, let’s work on jump stops, shooting and things like that.” South metro teams lost a few top inside players to graduation. Highlands Ranch’s Zach Braxton was a force inside for the Falcons boys team. Jonathan Barnes of Ponderosa was a true post player for the Mustangs boys team as was Rock Canyon’s Morgan Roos and Jessica McGovern of Castle View on the girls side. And, several outstanding hybrid players who could play inside or out have moved on to college like Valor Christian’s Chase Foster, Lexy Thordeson of Castle View and Natalie Baker of Chaparral. The following is a look at how some south metro boys and girls basketball coaches and players feel about dealing with or without traditional centers who use power moves to get buckets and rebounds in the paint.

SEVERAL TEAMS OPEN IN TOP 10 Pre-season CHSAANow.Com polls for the 2014-15 campaign rank three south metro area boys and girls Class 5A teams in the Top 10. ThunderRidge is fifth in the boys ratings, Chaparral sixth and Mountain Vista 10th. Highlands Ranch is fourth in the initial girls poll, Cherry Creek using an up-tempo, blitz basketball type of run-and-gun offense to create mismatches and beat opponents down the floor for easy baskets. In the past four seasons, the Golden Eagles have compiled an 86-19 record while averaging between 73 points per game in 2010 to 77 a year ago. However, the Golden Eagles do work on half-court offense and have set plays when the pace slows, Wood said. “It isn’t that we don’t work on half-court offense, we do work on it,” said Wood. “We just

work on full court more. We always run our offenses inside out so we’re trying to get into the paint first. If a big kid wants to get the ball in transition then he not only has the throw the outlet but he’s got to run down the court. Kids now days, even the big kids, like to play all positions. It’s really not hard to motivate them to get down the court.” Wood wouldn’t make much of a change if he had a massive player to put in the pivot. “We have a 6-6 freshman and he’s projected

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A misunderstanding should be resolved before you get caught up in the flurry of holiday preparations. Set your pride aside and deal with it, regardless of who might have hurt whom first. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Being told that a colleague might have been trying to undercut your effectiveness might or might not be true. Get all the facts before you even think about acting on this so-called information. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) It’s a good idea to start your holiday preparation plans early in order to avoid a time crunch if an unresolved workplace situation causes a problem. That old friend might have some welcome news. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A family member’s actions continue to surprise you, but this time with positive results. Could be your wise counsel finally got through. It’s like having an early holiday gift, isn’t it? SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Your reluctance to act in a current situation could be traced to your inner self advising you to take more time to study its complexities before you attempt to deal with it. Good luck. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Soothing hurt feelings before they can ignite an angry outburst is the wise thing to do. And, of course, when it comes to doing the “wisdom thing,” you do it so well. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Budget your time so that you can handle both your workplace duties and your personal holiday planning -- including travel arrangements -- without burning out on either end. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) You might find that you still need to firm up one or two of those stilloutstanding decisions so that you finally can move forward as you had planned. Weigh the facts, then act. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) You usually don’t carry grudges, but you might feel this is one time when you’re justified in doing so. But aren’t you spending too much energy holding onto it? Let it go and move on.

to be 7-foot,” related Wood. “I would say that I don’t know that we would change a whole lot because now you have a 7-footer and he’s going to get most of the rebounds. He would throw the outlet and we would run down and see if we can get an easy bucket. If not we would go into our half-court stuff and there he is in the middle.” Legend coach Kevin Boley claims it is not usual for bigger players to vacate the lane. “The difference now is kids are bigger, faster, stronger and more skilled than ever before and capable of doing more things,” he said. “Big kids are more skilled and do more things where before they would be stuck in the post. “Bottom line is people play fast, but when you get to the postseason, those (playoff) teams are so good they are going to slow you down and make you play half-court.” Caton will go into the season with a guard-oriented attack without Braxton, who is now at Weber State. “Big players are expected to do more these days and need to know how to do more to be successful, which is good,” said Caton. “The better that they can shoot, dribble and pass is what makes them a more-rounded player and valuable to a team. I have tried to have my big players acquire as many skills as possible, at least during the offseason.”

Girls teams

Cherry Creek coach Chris Curneen has his post girls practice pivot power moves and shots. That’s because he has three 6-1 players in senior Molly Rohrer and sophomores Lauren McMillen and Laura Pranger plus four 5-11 underclass girls. “It’s easier to learn to play inside for some people more than others,” McMillen said. “I guess you just have to do it enough so you get muscle memory. When you’re in a big game, in the heat of things, then you calm down. It gets really physical. To be tall and big, you have to move people out of the way with your body.” Willahan has 6-1 junior Molly McCabe, who is more comfortable taking mid-range jump shots. “Molly McCabe can play with her back to the basket,” Willahan said. “She’s probably better facing up, 15-foot with some space and going to the rim. Bigger girls are becoming more well-rounded. “We do try to develop our post players. We spend like 40 minutes a week on post play and things like that. We are perimeter oriented. We want our posts to be able to handle the ball and we want our posts to be able to shoot the ball. We try to develop our posts to play out on the wing and we like to develop our guards to play in the post. For the most part, our posts kind of work in space for face cuts and taking what the defense gives them. We have some plays where we try to get the ball to the post, get some screens, get a mismatch, get a guard on a big and then beat her.” The Rock Canyon coach Hema cites the value of a good center. “I have said all along that the true post game seems to be disappearing,” Hema said. “Some of that is the glamour of the guard position and many people believing to be a successful wing in college you have to be 6-foot or bigger and shoot the 3. To me one of the most valuable positions on a team can be a true center.” Willahan agrees. “If you have a post, it’s almost like gold,” he said. “To be able to go up and get two points pretty easy with a good post players, that says a lot. You can stop runs. ” For Chaparral coach Tony Speights, maintaining a balance is a key to success. “If you look at good teams they have a balance of 3-point shooting and back-to-the-basket play,” he said. “You rarely find teams that are 3-point shooting teams that make it far in the playoffs. Everybody has an off shooting night and in the playoffs everything is intensified and defense becomes tighter.” ThunderRidge will have a talented, but small team and coach Paul Krueger would welcome a tall post player. “I’d love to have one because a post player does so much to free up for shooters inside and outside,” said Krueger. “The skill set has changed. You don’t see many back-to-the-basket players. If colleges do find one, they snap her up.”

In all, he damaged a total of nine vehicles at an estimate of more than $33,000, according to testimony. A toxicology test showed Stone tested positive for methamphetamine, marijuana and Lorazepam. Lorazepam typically is used to treat anxiety. In contrast to the time reserved for his trial, Stone’s Dec. 1 arraignment lasted only about five minutes.

In addition to the March 12 incident, Stone had multiple outstanding warrants in various jurisdictions. Charges listed in those warrants included burglary, auto theft, and failure to appear on drug-related charges.

While the investigation is in the preliminary stages, police believe it could be a roofing company using a new technique to drum up business. “It’s been a big business with all of the hail damage we’ve had in the last year,” said Andy Coleman, public information officer for the Parker police. Detectives are not sure whether any crime has been committed. There are no victims and only one person said they were considering trying to schedule an appointment, Coleman said. But the calls have put at least 50 homeowners on high alert. Questions about the legitimacy of

the inspection and whether the request came from Parker’s offices have poured into town hall. The town employee whose number was “spoofed” on the caller ID has also received numerous calls. Coleman confirmed that the town’s phone system was not hacked and said new software enables people to pick any number they want to show up on caller ID systems. Parker’s building department does not solicit inspections and only responds at the request of homeowners. Any vehicle associated with Parker has a distinct town logo on its side, the town said on its Facebook page. “Safety comes first when it comes to citizens, and we’re just trying to get the information out there,” Coleman said. Anyone who has received a call or has information to offer should call the Parker Police Department at 303-841-9800 or town hall at 303-841-0353.
