School funding all over the map Formula factors in size of district, student poverty By Jane Reuter
jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School Board long has expressed dissatisfaction with the state’s education funding, saying county residents shoulder an unfair tax burden. It is not alone in concerns about K-12 funding. A Colorado Department of Education official said the department’s complex formula for school districts has changed little in 20 years, but is designed to fac-
WHAT THEY’RE GETTING Estimated 2014-15 per-pupil funding for a sampling of Colorado school districts (after the negative factor): District Amount Branson $6,557 (lowest in state) Lewis-Palmer $6,661 Douglas $6,752 Littleton $6,758 Jeffco $6,842 Cherry Creek $6,947 Pawnee $15,567 (highest in state)

tor in changes within districts. “We’ve been using this formula since 1994. There have been some little tweaks around the edges, but there haven’t been significant changes,” said Leanne Emm, the CDE’s assistant commissioner for school finance. “I think it depends on what kind of district you live in whether you like the formula or not. “But the formula does adjust, or attempts to adjust, for the demographics within individual districts.” What has changed since 1994 — and angered school leaders statewide — is a recession-driven legislative cut to K-12 funding called the negative factor. Since 2010, it has reduced K-12 funding statewide by about $1 billion annually. Under Colorado’s formula, funding for every district starts at the same amount. For 2014-15, that base perpupil funding is $6,121. From there, district-specific calculations are made, based mostly on cost of living, size of the district and number of students living in poverty. Douglas County has a relatively high cost of living and a low number of povFunding continues on Page 11

E-470 traffic grows at speedy pace Officials planning for more motorists in next 5-10 years By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com An increasing number of motorists on E-470 has tolling-authority officials considering ways to brace for the future. E-470 has so far tallied a 12 percent jump in users over last year and consistently set daily records in July, including a single day in which 248,000 transactions were made. The figures are defying expectations and putting into motion initiatives aimed at getting a better look at what’s to come. The tolling authority — run by board members representing the eight jurisdictions that the highway passes through — is launching its first full traffic and revenue study since 2008 to “get a baseline on where things are going,” said John McCuskey, executive director of E-470. Research will focus on everything from highway efficiency during peak traffic
hours to the economic development taking place along the corridor. The Parker Road interchange, in particular, has caught the attention of those who oversee day-to-day operations on the highway. In Cottonwood just to the north, King Soopers is coming back with its marketplace concept, and there are plans to develop the land directly to the east for Vantage Point, which will contain 900 apartments and a handful of retail businesses. A senior living facility and Boondocks Family Fun Center will also open near E-470 and South Parker Road, and McCuskey expects all of the development to have a positive effect on the highway. Likewise, the Compark area near E-470 and Chambers Road has seen the arrival of manufacturers, retail outlets and medical companies in the last few years. The stretch of E-470 between Interstate 25 and South Parker Road is the most heavily traveled. “The growth we’ve seen down there has just been tremendous,” McCuskey said. National chains have taken a close look at repurposing the old toll plazas into gas E-470 continues on Page 20

Tantalizing smells filled the air in Parker during the three-day Smokin’ Brew BBQ contest over Labor Day Weekend. For the second year running, Kansas’ TrueBud BBQ emerged the grand champion with more than 50 participants taking part. Texas-based Johnny Trigg and the Smokin’ Triggers was named reserve grand champion. Crowds were large and consistent throughout the weekend at the sixth annual event, flocking for barbecue, beer, live music, children’s entertainment, and cow pie bingo. The Kansas City Barbecue Society-sanctioned event is the largest annual fundraiser for the Cherry Creek Valley Rotary Club. It spends the funds on community events like Trick-or-Treat on Mainstreet, and helps nonprofits like the Parker Task Force and Project Sanctuary.

The story of rest is the rest of the story It’s 7:20 p.m. and Sean is bent over physics homework, graphs that show position and velocity in relation to time. Motion maps. The work isn’t particularly difficult for him. The challenge is staying focused. “The more I think,” he says, “the more irritated I feel.” Sean is my 17-year-old son. He’s a high school senior and a good student. But he’s tired. If you ask him what he looks forward to on weekends, he’ll give you the same answer many teens do: Sleeping. No wonder. Instead of the eight-and-a-half to nine-and-a-half hours of sleep research has found teens need to perform at their best, Sean averages six to seven each night. Even though he sometimes slips into bed at 9:30 or 10, he usually can’t fall asleep until 11, and he’s at school most mornings by 5:45 for weight sessions with his baseball team. Classes begin at 7:35. We are a tired country. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has called insufficient sleep a public health epidemic, noting in a 2009 study almost 38 percent of adults had unintentionally fallen asleep during the day at least once in the preceding month and nearly 5 percent had fallen asleep while driving at least once during the same time period. Scary. But not surprising. Like the one-third of adults in the study, I, too, consistently sleep less than the recommended seven hours a day and often find myself longing for just a few minutes in which to rest my eyes. The real calamity, though, is the sleep deprivation of our teenage children, who as a generation are losing the opportunity to achieve their highest potential, simply because they don’t have the few more hours needed to recharge. “Sleep is absolutely vital, not just from a physical standpoint, but from a
mental, emotional and cognitive standpoint,” says Steve Portenga, a performance psychologist who teaches at the University of Denver and helps athletes, surgeons and others in high-risk occupations perform consistently at their highest levels. A key element to that formula is sleep. Sean would agree. On days when he’s tired, “it’s hard to focus. I just catch myself spacing,” he says. But when he feels rested, “it’s easier to participate in class — you feel more in it. It’s easier to comprehend and retain information … I’m just more aware, in general.” Portenga talks about two studies that directly link sleep to performance. In the first, two groups of people were given 12 hours to solve a difficult problem. One group received the problem in the morning, so didn’t sleep before resolving it that evening. The other group received it in the evening, so had the opportunity to sleep before coming up with an answer. “Both had the same amount of time to solve it …” Portenga said, “but the ones who had a chance to sleep performed significantly better.” In the second study, electrodes were connected to the brains of mice as they figured out a way through a maze. As the mice slept, researchers noted the same series of connections firing as had occurred when they navigated the maze. The mice were replaying their route; the brain was moving information from
short-term to long-term memory, which makes retrieving information easier down the road. The study showed, Portenga says, that “for consolidating learning, sleep is a really vital process.” With that knowledge in mind, the American Academy of Pediatrics, saying the average American teen is “chronically sleep deprived and pathologically sleepy,” last week declared middle- and high-schoolers should begin their day at 8:30 a.m. at the earliest — essentially an hour later than most do now. Such a change would align with teens’ natural sleep cycles, which make it difficult for them — like Sean — to fall asleep before 11 p.m. And it would be key to helping “adolescents get the sleep they need to grow and learn.” According to a National Sleep Foundation poll, 87 percent of high school students and 59 percent of sixththrough eighth-graders were sleeping less than the recommended eight-anda-half to nine-and-a-half hours a night. Reasons range from sports, after-school activities, jobs and homework to overactive technology use. The academy’s policy statement noted lack of sleep in teens not only translates to a decrease in learning and poorer grades, but also to more physical and mental health problems and an increased risk of car accidents. Scary. But not surprising. Senior Craig Breuker can attest to the positive impact of a later starting time. His first class this semester starts with second period, which means he begins classes at 8:30. The difference from previous years is stark. “When I wake up, I just feel refreshed,” he says. “When I used to wake up at 6:30, I would always feel down and groggy. I haven’t had a morning where I feel like I want to go back to bed. When I get up, I’m ready for the day to start.” He’s more focused. He has more energy later in the day. His eyes don’t get
heavy. An A and B student, Craig practices soccer after school until 5:15, then mows lawns until dusk, then finally heads home to do homework. If there’s time, he’ll watch some TV until turning off the lights at about 10:30. Going to bed, he says, “is like a restart.” But considering only 15 percent of our country’s high schools begin the day at 8:30 or later, Craig’s sense of rested well-being belongs to a minority of teens. There is a long way to go. School district schedules are built around a complexity of ingredients, from bus schedules to athletics to extracurricular activities, and a realignment of all those pieces would need buy-in from not only school officials, but also from parents and teens, themselves. Until the paradigm shifts, until we are willing to take on the challenge — if we ever are — days for many teens will begin somewhat like this: 5 a.m. The first alarm goes off. Music blares. Sean reaches over and turns it off. 5:10 a.m. Music blares again. Unwilling to leave the warmth of his bed, Sean reaches over and sets a third alarm for 10 minutes later. 5:20 a.m. More music. Five more minutes tick by and his feet hit the floor. He throws on a T-shirt, some shorts, shoes. Brushes his teeth. Washes his face. He grabs a water bottle and heads out the door. It is still dark, the notion of sleep already forgotten. Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week.

Two schools score high on global test Highlands Ranch, Ponderosa students exceed averages By Jane Reuter
jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com Students at two Douglas County high schools demonstrated their academic prowess on a global level. Highlands Ranch and Ponderosa’s test scores in the Programme for International Student Assessment were higher than national and international averages. The PISA tests the skills of 15-year-olds in math, science and reading. Initiated in 2000, it is repeated every three years. It has become a yardstick for measuring the quality of school systems. Highlands Ranch and Ponderosa students outscored or kept pace with Finland, which is considered an international academic leader. The handful of countries that outscored the DCSD schools all were Asian. “Obviously, we’re very pleased about it,” said Highlands Ranch principal Jerry Goings. “I’m a public school advocate. I believe we’re doing a pretty darn good job. We need to always do better. But it definitely was reaffirming to me about the American education system.” Ponderosa principal Chuck Puga did not return calls requesting comment. About 50 Highlands Ranch sophomores, randomly chosen by PISA, took the two-hour test in 2012. Those students graduated last spring. Overall, the United States ranked below average in math, and close to average in science and reading, but the Douglas County schools surpassed those rankings.
Goings is not surprised. “We thought we would do very, very well,” he said. “We in public school keep saying, if you compare it apples to apples and take out schools in America that are below the average poverty rate of 10 percent, we (the United States) actually fare very well. “I know we have a great school and a great community, and we’re fortunate because we have a lower poverty rate. I would argue any Douglas County high school would come in very similar in a true PISA test.” The most recent census figures show about 4 percent of Douglas County residents live below the poverty level. A report on the 2012 PISA, issued by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) that conducts it, notes the impact of poverty on scores. “Socioeconomic background has a significant impact on student performance in the United States, with some 15 percent of the variation in student performance explained by this, similar to the OECD average,” according to the report. Former DCSD teacher and author Angela Engel, who writes on education issues, agrees. “All the research indicates the number one correlating factor to test scores is socioeconomic status,” she said. “It is a known fact that when you account for poverty, American schools that are in districts with high wealth are the top-performing in the country. “Any reforms that don’t address poverty are going to yield the same failed results that we’ve seen.” Goings said the high scores don’t negate the need for changes in education. “I think education, just like any other business, needs to constantly look at how we get better,” he said. “We have
students going into a world that we can’t define right now for them. We need to have these critical thinkers. So yes, we need to have some reform efforts. We need reform because we need to continue to change and move on. “But saying we need reform because we’re failing? I would have an argument with that.” Douglas County School District Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen also was pleased by the scores. “We want to make sure students are really prepared on a world stage and that is why we like the PISA test,” she said. “If you look at DCSD scores against the rest of the country, we’ve done some really interesting things and may be performing better than Finland in some of our high schools — a country that is often regarded as one of the international leaders.”

school funding measures that Gov. John Hickenlooper later signed into law to increase spending within the state’s school finance system by $500 million. The money provides more funding for several areas of K-12 education, including school construction, preschool, kindergarten and English language learner programs. The measures increase per-pupil spending by about 5 percent and allow schools across the state to open up 5,000 more seats for preschool and full-day kindergarten. An additional $3 million will fund financial transparency efforts that are aimed at allowing taxpayers to see how the new money is being reported and spent. “It’s important to make sure we know where the money is going to these schools, and not seeing it go into a black hole somewhere,” said Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch. About $20 million goes into a program that helps third-graders read, while $53 million will be set aside for school construction — most of that coming in the form of Amendment 64-based retail marijuana revenue, which will help in the construction of schools in rural areas. “These investments will not only pay dividends in individual lives, but will also help build a stronger economic foundation for Colorado,” said Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, who is the chairman of the Senate Educa-

tion Committee. Lawmakers also restored $110 million in education funding that had been stripped as a result of recession-era budget cuts. Those “negative factor” cuts had slashed about $1 billion from the state’s K-12 budget. Schools will also see an increase in the number of counselors at middle and high schools, in an effort to lower the current student-to-counselor ratio, which Senate Democrats say was at 400-1 prior to the legislation being passed. “When students are focused on their studies and have a graduation plan, they excel,” said Sen. Rachel Zenzinger, D-Arvada, who sponsored legislation to increase the number of guidance counselors. The school funding pieces received the support of all Democrats and some Republicans, including outgoing Rep. Carole Murray, R-Castle Rock, who co-sponsored the Student Success Act, a major component of the school finance measures. “It’s a tribute to the importance of education to the legislators in this state that we maximized our increase to (education) this year,” Murray said. “As we’re coming out of the recession, we had some tough decisions to make.” Among those tough decisions was factoring in how much say local school boards have in determining how they allocate monies for their own districts. Many Republicans wanted to see school districts have more autonomy in determining how the cash infusion is being spent, rather than an across-the-board system that the state controls. Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, said the school funding measures could have done more to respect school districts’ abilities to spend the money as they see fit. “The vast majority of the 178 school boards in the state wanted us to restore the negative factor with no strings attached,” said Holbert. “But the Student Success Act was a Christmas tree of new mandates for school districts. “School districts said to us, `No, you give us as much of the negative factor funding as you owe us and do not give us any new mandates.’”

Parker Water replaces board member PWSD uses rule to appoint new member after verbal resignation By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Parker Water and Sanitation District’s board of directors have filled a vacancy created by the resignation of Tracy Hutchins. Out of three qualified candidates who entered their name for consideration, the board appointed Parker resident Dale Reiman, who has served on the water district’s audit and budget committees. He has regularly attended PWSD board meetings since 2009 and was sworn in during a meeting Aug. 14. Reiman replaces Hutchins, who abruptly resigned after the May election in which incumbents Darcy Beard and Merlin Klotz retained their seats. Hutchins delivered only a verbal resignation to the board May 22 and did not submit an official letter of resignation. As a result, PWSD officials ended up invoking a rule that enables special districts to appoint a replacement if a board member has three consecutive meeting absences. Hutchins has since expressed displeasure at the move. “I would never not just show up. I’m not that kind of person,” she said. “The fact that the water district and board decided to come up with this rule, allegation, it is completely unfounded and ridiculous. I resigned. That was it.” Hutchins is upset that no board members or legal representatives from the PWSD con-
PWSD board president Darcy Beard swears in Dale Reiman, who was appoined to the board Aug. 14 following the departure of Tracy Hutchins. Courtesy photo tacted her to inform her of the need to submit a letter of resignation. Ron Redd, the water district’s manager, said he “would have done it differently” if given another chance and acknowledged that he took the “easier, less awkward” route in filling the vacancy. “I could have called and asked her to put it in writing, but I made a decision to let it go,” Redd said. However, the Parker Water and Sanitation District’s five-member board was within its legal rights to pass a resolution to appoint Reiman, he said. Reiman will serve the re-
mainder of Hutchins’ term, which expires in May 2016. Hutchins, who once served on Parker Town Council, said she resigned because “the flame of desire” to serve on a public board was no longer there. Without providing specifics, she also “didn’t like how the board, as an entity, was going about its business.” Hutchins said she would defend herself against any insinuation that she simply walked away. Redd agrees it was clear Hutchins resigned and said the board went forward with the resolution “so our bases were covered.”
Sierra Trading Post Opens First Colorado Location Move over REI, there’s a new game in town. Approximately 600 people attended the grand opening and ribbon cutting held by Sierra Trading Post, an outlet store specializing in outdoor gear, on Thursday, August 28.

Prizes included gift cards, discount cards, reusable bags, and a chance to win a trip to Jackson Hole, WY. “[There were] flocks of people wrapped around the corner of the building, even some campers first in line with sleeping bags and a heater,” said attendee Aubrey Allmond.

Public works buildings taking shape Project at Hess Road and Tammy Lane expects to be ready in May 2015 By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com A construction project that aims to accommodate the expanding Parker Public Works Department is right on schedule. Residents driving along Hess Road between Jordan and Motsenbocker roads in recent months might have noticed two massive buildings going up on the north side. It’s part of a yearlong, $15.6 million undertaking to house the growing streets, traffic and stormwater departments. “The project is going well and it is on schedule for public works to move into the building in May of 2015,” said Chris Hudson, project manager for the public works
department. The existing public works building, adjacent to Salisbury Park on Motsenbocker Road, will remain open. The additional space, at Hess Road and Tammy Lane, will enable public works to operate comfortably for at least the next 20 years. Last year, town council approved the issuance of $21 million in debt in the form of certificates of participation to fund the new facility and the expansion and renovation of the Parker Recreation Center. Roughly $13.5 million is that sum is going toward the public works building. The facility will initially be 65-70 percent occupied and include space for future expansion. It will have room to store street sweepers and crack seal machines, as well as specialized turf equipment that has been kept outdoors. One building also will contain the town’s first welding and fabrication shop.
Singer’s death puts Survivor show in question Iconic 80s rock band scheduled to perform at PACE Center By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com A plan by the 1980s band Survivor to kick off its tour in Parker is up in the air following the sudden death of lead singer Jimi Jamison. Jamison died of a heart attack at the age of 63 on Aug. 31, less than two weeks before a scheduled performance with the iconic rock group at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center. Organizers have not canceled the Sept. 12 show and are working with Survivor’s tour manager to determine a course of action during a delicate time, said Carrie Glassburn, marketing manager for the PACE Center. Meanwhile, the venue is offering credit or refunds “to anyone who has asked,” she said. A handful of ticket-holders have contacted the PACE Center since hearing the news of Jamison’s death, including those who were planning to attend specifically to see the bigvoiced front man. Survivor is best known for hits like “Eye of the Tiger,” “Is This Love,” “Burning Heart” and the memorable song “The Moment of Truth” from the final climactic scene of “The Karate Kid.” Glassburn said the band was supposed to leave for Europe shortly after performing in Parker. According to an obituary published online by Rolling Stone, Jamison has shared lead
A scheduled concert by the 1980s band, Survivor, at the PACE Center is up in the air following the Aug. 31 death of lead singer Jimi Jamison. Survivor was planning to kick off its next tour in Parker. Photo by Sally Irwin singing duties with David Bickler, the band’s original singer and the voice behind “Eye of the Tiger.” Glassburn expressed hope that Bickler might step in. The band performed in California the night before Jamison died. Glassburn said the news came as a shock, and if the concert goes forward at the PACE Center without Jamison, it will take on a “little bit different meaning.” As of Sept. 2, organizers were still scrambling to figure out the plan. Go to www.pacecenteronline.org or follow the PACE Center’s Facebook page for the latest information. The PACE Center is located at 20000 Pikes Peak Ave.
Reservoir’s second function saves big By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Storing water for use in drought years is the primary function of Rueter-Hess Reservoir, but an unintended second function is bringing tens of millions of dollars in costsavings. Rueter-Hess, a 72,000-acre-foot reservoir that was built in Newlin Gulch west of Parker, acts as a flood control mechanism, and because of that, there is far less chance of a 100year flood event downstream. Structures within the 100-year flood plain are held to stricter standards. Bridges, for example, must be built to withstand the onslaught of water, adding extra costs. Similarly, homes in the flood plain must have flood insurance. But a new assessment by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency is expected to show a much lower risk along gulches and streams that flow away from the reservoir. The Parker Water and Sanitation District has the ability to control the outflow of water and send it downstream at a “slower, more reasonable rate,” said Ron Redd, district manager of the PWSD. The result is, according to one estimate, a cost savings of $100 million over a 50-year period due to the anticipated relaxation of flood-mitigation measures. Existing homes in the 100-year flood plain will likely be removed from the risk category, Redd said. The PWSD board of directors is scheduled to consider an “adequate assurance agreement” Sept. 4, which promises to inform Parker and Douglas County of any future changes to the outflow configurations, which are “highly unlikely,” Redd said.

Proper peer pressure promotes performance Sometimes just the words “peer pressure” spark anxious, judgmental, and negative feelings. Especially when we attach verbs such as “succumbing to” or “giving in to” peer pressure. And many times we direct our guidance of avoiding peer pressure to the young adults, teenagers and children in our lives. No doubt there are more temptations and access to trouble now than in any previous generation. So our advice and steering to avoid peer pressure has never been more valuable, as long as it doesn’t fall on deaf ears or comes across as, “Well when I was your age …,” because that never goes well. Or if it sounds overplayed like, “If all of your friends jumped off of the top of the mountain would you follow too?” Yikes! Avoiding peer pressure can be turned from a negative to a positive as we encourage those that look up to us with confidence boosters and nurturing self-esteem building words and actions. You know how it goes, when we tell or ask someone not to do something, especially our youth, what do they do? Exactly what we told them or asked them not to do. Having open dialogues can be revealing about previous errors in judgment or examples where peers may have misled us, or perhaps we were the peer misleading others. As my friend Bert reminded me last week, sometimes when we think we are following, we could actually also be in a position of leading all of those who are following us too. Another awesome and positive side of peer pressure is playing itself out right now
before our very eyes, ears, and through our contributions. I am talking about the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. If you haven’t seen this yet or heard of it, the challenge has gone absolutely viral. People have been challenged to fill a bucket with water and ice and then dump the bucket over their head or have a family member or friend participate and tip the ice-filled bucket onto their head. Then each participant that has accepted the challenge gets to challenge others in their circle of friends, associates, or family to take the same challenge. Now if they don’t take the challenge and want to avoid the fleeting moment of freezing water spilling over their head and body, they can elect to make a donation to ALS. And in some cases I know people that have done both, accepted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and also made a nice financial contribution to ALS. And it’s not just ALS, just look at all the fundraisers for breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, SMA, diabetes, and so many others and include events like 5K runs, walks, auctions, golf tournaments where we sign
up to sponsor runners, walkers, golfers, and place our names on those silent auction sheets, all for the greater good. And you know how it goes, sometimes we are on the fence of whether or not we will participate or sponsor someone, and then one of our friends, one of our peers does it and before we know it we have jumped in as well. And that is just incredible. Peer pressure in business is also extremely positive. There is nothing better than some healthy and friendly competition. As a salesman I was always interested in how well my peers were doing. I used their productivity as a motivator to try and beat them the next day, week, or month. And it went both ways, my lifelong friend and fellow salesman would always contact me just to see what I sold that day so we could compete the following day. So the next time we feel like cringing when we hear the words “peer pressure,” just remember it can absolutely be leveraged as a positive influence in our lives and not always a negative. How about you? Have you had a positive experience with peer pressure? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we focus on the positive peer pressure in our lives it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.
Construction zone is no peaceful lane They are working on Quebec Street. I have some thoughts. I would aggressively avoid the area if you have had more than one cup of coffee. If you have spent a couple of hours at Lodo’s and go south on Quebec, prepare yourself for community service. In all my born days — as my grandmother used to say — I have never seen such a convolution of cones, barrels and arrows on a roadway. You will start on the right and then you will be expected to move to the left, back to the right. Lanes disappear. The cones get closer and closer together. Do you know who M.C. Escher is? He would have loved all of this. Take a look at “Rhythm of Illusion.” That’s exactly what Quebec is right now. This figures: The name “Quebec” comes from an Algonquin word meaning “where the river narrows.” I didn’t know that construction was going on and I made the mistake of trying to get to King Soopers at midnight simply to
pick up a noodle salad. I still don’t know how I managed to get anywhere near the store. I wanted to make a left and couldn’t. There was a guy using a jackhammer and right next to him was a worker who shouted something at me. I guess he thought I have some kind of metaphysical ability to hear something being said next to a jackhammer. And Smitty was barking his brains out. I eventually figured out that no left turn could be made, so I took a right on Park Meadows Drive and went through parts of
Lone Tree that I didn’t know existed. The good news is that I can avoid Quebec. Some of you can’t. It must be a nightmare on the way to work. We experience virtual Quebecs throughout our lives. I had to take one last nonmajor class in order to graduate on time. Outside of my major I was a zombie in Chuck Taylors. I was lost, blocked and confounded. A good friend of mine went through a divorce and her updates sounded exactly like those cones, barrels and arrows — nothing but wickets and anxiety, mixed in with residual anger and frustration. In a month or two the cones will be gone and it might be hard to remember any of this. And that’s another thing that happens to us all of the time. Of course, some of the frustrations we experience in life do not go away, and the cones remain. A relationship goes bad and never improves.

Virus spreads among horses, livestock Vesicular stomatitis now confirmed in eight counties By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com When it comes to protecting animals from the vesicular stomatitis virus that is spreading across the state, cleanliness is key, officials say. The virus, spread primarily by flies, causes oral blisters and painful sores that can lead to difficulty eating and drinking. VSV has affected horses and livestock in eight Colorado counties, including Douglas County, and 205 properties statewide are under quarantine. As of Aug. 27, there have been 222 properties quarantined, but 17 have been released, according to the Colorado Department of Agriculture’s State Veterinarian’s Office. The majority of cases have been located in Boulder and Jefferson counties. There has only been one confirmed case in Douglas County, and there have been no reported
cases in Elbert County. “The most important thing people can do to guard against it is to practice proper manure management, proper cleanliness with water and feeding and to take precautions against the flies themselves,” Colorado State Veterinarian Dr. Keith Roehr said. At Wood Run Farm, a horse training and boarding facility in Castle Rock, barn manager Jessica Maher is taking every precaution to protect the horses in her care. Horses are kept in individual stalls and given their own water and food. There is a fly-spray system in the barn, and horses wear protective capes and masks to guard against flies while they graze. “Training and educating the staff is first and foremost so that they know what to look for and they know what to do as well as the borders and clients,” Maher said. “I’ve done bulletin-board posts, Facebook posts and emails making them aware of what it is and what we can do to control it.” Maher said she has received some calls from concerned clients. “There’s always concern, especially since it’s been spreading so rapidly,” Maher said. “It
is a big concern, but knowing that we’re doing the best we can gives us a piece of mind.” Colorado is the second state in the country to have confirmed cases of VSV this year. Previous cases in 2014 have been diagnosed in the southern area of Texas near the Mexico border and more recently in Bastrop and Travis counties, just south of Austin. Veterinarians and livestock owners who suspect an animal may be infected should immediately contact state or federal animal health authorities. Livestock with clinical signs of VSV are isolated until they are healed and determined to be of no further threat for disease spread. There are no USDA-approved vaccines for vesicular stomatitis. While rare, human cases of VSV can occur, usually among those who handle infected animals. In humans, the virus can cause flulike symptoms and rarely includes lesions or blisters. “I would tell people, don’t grow weary or complacent if you haven’t seen any symptoms with your animals,” Roehr said. “Until we have a killing freeze, which is still probably 60 days away, there is going to be a threat.”
TIPS FOR LIVESTOCK OWNERS: • Strict fly control is an important factor to inhibit the transmission of the disease. • Avoid transferring feeding equipment, cleaning tools or health care equipment from other herds. • Colorado veterinarians and livestock owners should contact the state of destination when moving livestock across state lines to ensure that all import requirements are met. A list of contact information for all state veterinarians’ offices is available at www.colorado.gov/ag/animals. Click on “Import Requirements.” • Colorado fairs, livestock exhibitions, and rodeos may institute new entry requirements based on the extent and severity of the current VSV outbreak. Certificates of Veterinary Inspection issued within 2-5 days prior to an event can be beneficial to reduce risks. Be sure to stay informed of any new livestock event requirements. • During an event, important VSV prevention procedures include minimizing the sharing of water and feed/equipment, applying insect repellent daily (especially to the ears), and closely observing animals for signs of VSV. • If moving livestock internationally please contact the USDA APHIS VSV Colorado office at 303-231-5385 to determine if there are any movement restrictions or testing requirements for VSV.

Mixed signals frustrate foes of death penalty Governor’s view on capital punishment was kept close to vest
bill and now feel that there was an opportunity lost, given that Hickenlooper’s stance against capital punishment is now known. At the same time, Democrats believe that the governor’s “wrestling” on the issue was sincere and hold By Vic Vela no resentment toward him for his limited involvement vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com during the legislative process. A sponsor of a bill that sought to end capital punishKey Democratic lawmakers were frustrated with Gov. John ment in Colorado believes that the repeal effort would Hickenlooper’s guidance last year on a death penalty repeal have passed had Hickenlooper come around on his anti-death penalty position sooner. Hickenlooper — who had campaigned as a supporter of the death penalty in 2010 — acknowledged in an interview with KDVR-TV in August that his position has evolved over the years and that he now opposes capital punishment. But Hickenlooper wasn’t prepared to talk about those views in 2013, when Democrats were crafting a death penalty repeal bill. Former Rep. Claire Levy, D-Boulder, a sponsor of the bill, said her effort was a “challenge” because of Hickenlooper’s lack of guidance on the legislation. “It did it make it difficult for lawmakers who felt they may be vulnerable for repealing the death penalty; difficult to make to make a commitment to me knowing the bill could be vetoed,” Levy said. Levy said she had several conversations with Hickenlooper about the bill, but it wasn’t until just before the legislation was up for a committee hearing that he suggested that might veto. The bill died in the House Judiciary Committee on March 26, after the governor’s feelings on the legislation became known. “If (Hickenlooper) had arrived at his position earlier, we would have all benefited because we would have known what to do,” said Rep.

CNN interview surfaces
While there was frustration with Hickenlooper over his role in the death penalty repeal bill, Democrats say they respected the governor’s decision-making process. “While I really wanted a firm yes or no, I understand completely why he was not able to do that for us,” Levy said. “And I think the reason he couldn’t is really what he’s been saying publicly all along and that he’s really been wrestling with this issue.” The death penalty issue made headlines again recently after a newly surfaced CNN interview from November became public. In the interview, Hickenlooper told a reporter that clemency for death row inmate Nathan Dunlap could still be on the table. Hickenlooper granted Dunlap an indefinite reprieve in May 2013. Hickenlooper’s campaign said that in the CNN interview, the governor was responding to a hypothetical question, and that Dunlap — who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993 — will die in prison. Even though Kagan would have liked to have seen Hickenlooper support last year’s death penalty repeal, he was OK with how the governor handled the Dunlap situation. “I respect the position he arrived at in the end,” Kagan said. “He said he’s not going to decide for an entire state on this issue, instead he said, `I cannot, in good conscience, be the one to sign the death warrant.’” But Republicans have blasted Hickenlooper over his evolution on the death penalty and for his “indecision and weak leadership” on the issue. “On my watch, justice will carried out, the laws of the state of Colorado will be enforced and I will never turn my back on the victims,” said former Congressman Bob Beauprez, who is running against Hickenlooper in this fall’s gubernatorial election. Rep. Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs, a former House minority leader, said the death penalty is just one example where Hickenlooper has been hesitant to “weigh in on legislation unless he absolutely has to.” “He never lets you know what his position is,” Waller said. “It’s like he lets the issue lead him.” But Democrats, for all their frustrations, say Hickenlooper’s “thoughtful” approach to painful, moral decisions on issues like the death penalty is better than the alternative. “When somebody is so completely glib and saying, `Oh, I would put someone to death if I were in charge,’ that reflects to me a lack of depth, a lack of appreciation of the enormity of the decision you’re making,” Levy said. Kagan agrees. “I will never knock a man who follows his conscience before taking a politically expedient position,” he said.

Parker police are searching for two masked men who robbed a bank in the middle of the day. Officers responded to Credit Union of Colorado, near South Parker Road and Plaza Drive, at 11:20 a.m. Aug. 28 after the robbery report came in. Armed with highpowered guns, police fanned out and searched the area, but were unable to locate the suspects, who fled on foot. One suspect is a white male with medium build, weighing between 190 and 215 pounds and standing 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall. He was wearing a black baseball-style hat, blue jeans, dark tennis shoes with white/ partially white soles, and a green windbreaker jacket that had a white, horizontal stripe around the front and back of the jacket at chest level. The other suspect is a white male with a “very thin build” with short, light-colored hair. He is between 5 feet 9 inches and 5 feet 11 inches tall and was wearing a black baseball-style hat that had an unknown yellow symbol on the front, dark shoes, black pants and a black jacket. He displayed a gun during the robbery. Both suspects were wearing a mask and gloves. There were no reported injuries. It’s unclear whether the men escaped with money.

Carjacking suspect deemed competent for trial Staff report Ryan Cole Stone was deemed competent to stand trial during an Aug. 28 status conference held at the Douglas County Justice Center in Castle Rock. Stone is charged in connection with a multi-county, high-speed March 12 chase that ended at about 8:15 a.m. when Stone allegedly crashed a stolen silver sedan at Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street. The morning rush-hour chase started in Longmont after, police say, Stone stole an SUV with a 4-year-old boy in it, then carjacked two other vehicles before crashing in
Douglas County. During the chase, Stone struck and injured a Colorado State Patrol trooper. Stone, who is in custody, appeared with council. Two competency evaluations were presented to the court - one from the defense’s doctor and one from the state. The court accepted the recommendation of both, finding Stone competent to proceed. The defense did not object. A preliminary hearing for Stone is set for 2 p.m. Oct. 2 at the justice center.

Funding Continued from Page 1
erty-stricken students — determined by the number who are receiving free or reduced-price school lunches. Because the district is larger, the CDE also considers the economies of scale that smaller districts don’t have. That combination lands Douglas County as the 21st-lowest in funding among 178 Colorado school districts. Its estimated per-pupil funding for 2014-15 is $6,752. The DCSD board in July reiterated its concern about state funding when it adopted a resolution to not put a tax question aimed at capital needs on the fall ballot. The resolution stated the board believed it could not ask taxpayers to “dig deeper and provide more local tax revenues” until the district could seek redress from the state concerning its funding inequities. It said DCSD has been “consistently underfunded by the state,” with a disproportionate share of its taxes going to other Colorado school districts. Colorado’s per-pupil funding for 201415 ranges from $6,557 for the Branson School District in Las Animas County (with an estimated 472 students) to $15,567 for the Pawnee School District in Weld County (with an estimated 83 students). The average is $7,021. If the Douglas County district received the average state per-pupil funding for 2014-15, it would boost its revenues by about $269 per student — a total of $17.2 million, according to the resolution.
Douglas’ “per-pupil funding is less than the state average,” Emm said. “However, they are a large district… And they have a relatively small at-risk population.” Among DCSD’s concerns, board president Kevin Larsen believes change is needed to create a more balanced distribution of at-risk student funds. Eliminating the negative factor is the first step in addressing funding issues, Larsen said, but not the ultimate solution. Without it, DCSD would have an added $74 million in annual revenues. With state revenues on the rise, lawmakers this year decreased the negative factor by $110 million. For DCSD, that meant an added $11 million. It’s an improvement, Larsen said, but still leaves the district $63 million short of pre-negative factor levels. Additionally, the combined effect of Colorado’s Gallagher and TABOR amendments, passed in 1982 and 1992 respectively, shifted the burden of school funding from local property taxes to the state. Larsen believes that also needs to change. “Putting more money into the discretion of local hands is ultimately the better way to go,” he said. “We are trying to do things we think would be more equitable for all districts, and certainly for Douglas County.”
How other districts compare
Cherry Creek, which Emm said is comparable to the Douglas County district, is in line to receive about $195 more per student in state funds in 2014-15. Cherry Creek has a higher percentage of students receiving free and reduced lunches — about 30 percent, compared with DCSD’s 10.3 percent.
“I think it’s a funding formula that strives to be fair taking into account all the differing factors that school districts have in their communities,” Cherry Creek spokeswoman Tustin Amole said. “But it has not been fully funded for several years with the state Legislature withholding more than $1 billion … due to the negative factor. That has had a significant impact on all school districts in Colorado.” Neighboring Littleton Public Schools will receive an estimated $6.38 more per student than the Douglas County district in 2014-15 funding. LPS did not respond to requests for comment. While Douglas County receives the lowest per-pupil funding in the Denver metro area, it isn’t at the bottom of the list in Colorado. Six El Paso County districts, including Academy in northern Colorado Springs, Lewis-Palmer in Monument, and Cheyenne Mountain in southern Colorado Springs, are funded at lower levels than DCSD. Lewis-Palmer assistant superintendent Cheryl Wangeman said the funding formula “makes some sense” in its consideration of larger districts’ economies of scale and percentage of disadvantaged students. In LPSD, 9.6 percent of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The district has about 6,000 students, roughly 60,000 fewer than the Douglas County district. Like leaders in Douglas County and Cherry Creek schools, Wangeman cites frustration with the negative factor. She also said funding for special education students falls short in Colorado, creating a constant fiscal challenge. Echoing Larsen, she pointed to the burden put on the state by the TABOR and
Gallagher amendments. “That’s difficult for the state,” she said. “I don’t think there are any short-term solutions. The state has fiscal imbalances they have to deal with. Until that gets fixed, I think we’re going to continue to see funding difficulties.” A lawsuit filed in Denver District Court in June alleges the negative factor is unconstitutional and violates Amendment 23. The 2000 provision requires that annual education funding increase by the rate of inflation and enrollment growth.
Dealing with budget constraints
Wangeman said Lewis-Palmer has been challenged to work within its budget, particularly since Colorado already spends less than the national average on K-12 education. “This school district is known for having the lowest central office administrator/student ratio probably in the state,” she said. “We cut way back on administrative staff. That means we have a lot of folks that work a lot of hours.” LPSD has struggled to keep class sizes down and teachers available for students who need extra help. “There are capital maintenance delays,” Wangeman said. “To make up for that, we make real good use of the state grants program. We put a new roof on Lewis-Palmer High School through the district and a grant. We did the same thing two years ago with Lewis-Palmer Middle School. “That being said, we’re really proud of what we’ve done. We are well known for producing kiddos who graduate, and we have one of the lowest remediation rates in the state.”

Douglas gets WISE about water future 2,775 acre-feet per year to flow into county By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County commissioners took an important step in helping secure the county’s water future at their regular meeting on Aug. 26. By joining in on the South Metro Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency (WISE) Authority’s agreement with Denver Water and Aurora Water, the county will be the recipient of 2,775 acre-feet of water per year for a 10-year period, starting in 2016. On average, an acre-foot of water is enough to take care of the needs of about two to three families per year, according to multiple sources. 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, 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. “This region has been working hard for a very long time to bring renewable water supplies into the area,” SMWSA Executive Director Eric Hecox said. “We have a legacy of developing non-renewable groundwater and the effort for many years has been to transition our current population off of groundwater as well as to provide water for future economic development, and I think this project achieves that.” The WISE project began in 2008 as a way for members to identify processes, cost, 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 reliable long-term water supply for residents. “While we often refer to the Denver Basin aquifers in a negative way, they do provide an extremely important drought reserve,” Douglas County Water Resource Planner Tim Murrell said. “By reducing Denver Basin well pumping to a secondary source rather than a sole supply, the basin can continue to be a valuable asset in times of drought.” In 2013, Aurora, Denver and the South Metro WISE Authority finalized the water delivery agreement. As part of the deal, 100,000 acre-feet of water will go to the authority’s providers over a 10-year period. At the time of the agreement, the authority members were only able to agree on 7,225 acre-feet per year. This left 2,775 acre-feet per year that would be lost if not claimed. Douglas County has been working with the authority members over the
last year to reserve the 2,775 acre-feet per year supply for the county. The WISE members are funding new infrastructure that will move the water from Aurora’s Binney Water Purification Facility to its end locations, beginning in 2016. Water purchased by the county, as well as by some of the other providers, will be stored at the Rueter-Hess Reservoir south of Parker. The county will pay a $97,125 annual reservation fee through 2020; 2,000 acrefeet of water per year will be available for use and purchase by WISE members, and 775 acre-feet will be available for use and purchase by non-members. “The difficulty and the cost of renewable water projects is growing, and by being able to come together as communities to spread those cost over a larger population and leverage the strengths of different partners, we are able to make these projects successful,” Hecox said.
More water could be on way to county $15 million project would require voter approval By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com A proposed $15 million unnamed project could bring another sustainable water source to three northwestern Douglas County subdivisions and an industrial park. In 2012, work started on the project that includes the subdivisions of Plum Valley Heights, Chatfield East, Chatfield Acres and the Titan Road Industrial Park. Together, these four areas combine to produce the equivalent of 251 single-family water taps. Currently these communities are reliant on individual wells for clean water, a hitand-miss proposition complicated by the constant need to upgrade wells and combat droughts. Some residents at an Aug. 26
Douglas County commissioners meeting talked about having to ship in water from other places. The project participants would receive treated water service from Roxborough Water. The water will be supplied by Aurora Water and served through Roxborough. An intergovernmental agreement between the two to supply 150 acre-feet of water a year for the project has been reached. The agreement has been signed by Roxborough and is currently moving through the Aurora City Council process. The estimated cost of the project is $15 million. The cost estimated to be paid by customers includes a tap fee of approximately $22,200 per tap, a $100 flat fee on the customer’s monthly water bill and a 50-mill property tax increase. One mill is the equivalent to $1 per $1,000 of assessed value per home. “In comparison, if a project participant were to re-drill their domestic well, it would cost somewhere between $30,000
to 40,000, with little knowledge if the well would last two or 20 years,” said Douglas County water resources planner Tim Murrell. “While expensive, never again will it be any cheaper than it is today.” Murrell points to reasonable water supply costs and the willingness of Roxborough Water to reduce its customer fees. In order to reduce tap fees from what would normally be $55,000 to $22,000 per tap, financing assistance from Douglas County would be necessary. Of the total $15 million cost for the project, $4.8 million will be Douglas County’s share. The county is expected to receive all but the project design and engineering costs back through tap fees collected by Roxborough. Assuming the project moves forward, Roxborough Water will require participants to connect to the system and pay their tap fees within three years of its completion. On Nov. 4, Roxborough Water will conduct a vote from those living within the project boundaries to approve the needed
tax increases, rates and fees and tap fee amounts. Larry Moore, the manager of Roxborough Water and Sanitation District, said he and Murrell have already visited with residents to answer questions about the project. “We had a tremendous turnout, about 150 people,” Moore said. “At the end, we asked for a straw vote, kind of `How do you guys feel about it? Do you want us to continue on?’ and more than 90 percent raised their hands and said they liked what we were doing.” Moore said these kinds of joint water efforts will become more prevalent as governments try to offset the cost of providing renewable water and look to secure the water future of their communities. “We’re treading on new territory here,” Moore said. “We hope that rather than somebody being resentful or jealous it will give them hope to know that these projects can be duplicated. Their community might be next.”

Oldest residential area in Denver dates to 1870s By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Located just seven blocks from Denver’s 16th Street Mall, the historic Curtis Park neighborhood is Denver’s oldest. A Home and Community Tour on Sept. 1314 will offer visits to 15 of the more than 500 historically significant Curtis Park homes protected by Denver Landmark Preservation status and serve as a fundraiser for Curtis Park Neighbors Inc. When the railroad arrived in 1870, Denver’s population boomed and population increased 700 percent by 1880 — to 35,000. In 1871, the first horse-drawn streetcar system started at Seventh and Larimer streets, turned on Champa Street at 16th Street and went out Champa as far as 27th Street, then undeveloped. Soon there was a mix of mansions and more modest middle-class homes in a variety of architectural styles, including Queen Anne, Italianate and Second Empire. Residents included department store owner John Jay Joslin and Mayor Wolfe Londoner as well as clerks, bankers, teachers and blacksmiths. In subsequent years, the neighborhood became one of the city’s poorest, with most large homes carved up into small units and neglected until the area was rediscovered in the 1970s. This neighborhood now contains eight landmark districts and has many residences on the National Register of Historic Places. Among the landmarked homes is the Italianate cottage at 2826 Curtis St., known as the West Residence — probably designed by Orlando Scobey, listed as residing there in 1883-84. It shares another part of Denver’s history in that it housed two successive Japanese-American owners in the period after Pearl Harbor in 1941. Colorado Gov. Ralph Carr had expressed sympathy for these families displaced and ordered to relocation camps. Some moved to Denver hoping to be welcomed by local residents — which was not widely the case, at a time of widely spoken anti-Japanese rhetoric. Five Points was a home for others not welcome elsewhere in Denver. (The present owner has designed the garden except for a large blue spruce.)
ABOVE: The Italianate West Residence at 2826 Curtis St. in the Curtis Park historic neighborhood is included in the Sept. 13 and 14 home tour. BELOW: The Queen Anne style Hayden-Pryor Residence at 2418 Champa is also included in the tour. Also open for the tour is the HaydenPryor residence at 2418 Champa St., an example of Queen Anne style, dated 1886. It is said to parallel Curtis Park history. It was built by Marks Amter, who borrowed $6,000 to build it and lost it to the bank in 1893, the year of the silver crash and ensuing depression, which affected the state. It was carved into nine units with only three bathrooms to serve many residents — perhaps as many as 27. It was also included in 1956 B-8 (business) zoning by the Denver City Council, when 88 neighboring homes were torn down. This one survived and is now protected by historic designation. Other residences will be open and visitors can get a sense of the area’s colorful history. Advance tickets are available through Historic Denver, historicdenver.org, and at the MatthewsGotthelf Mansion, 2601 Champa St., on Sept. 13 and 14.
IF YOU GO The 2014 Historic Curtis Park Home and Community Tour is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sept. 13 and 14. Tickets cost $15/$12 Historic Denver members, and are available at historicdenver.org and on tour days at tour headquarters: the Matthews-Gotthelf Mansion, 2601 Champa St. (Information provided by resident/tour chairs Gerald Horner and Linda Dowlen.)
The 16th Street Mall has long been a thorn in the side of Denver dwellers who don’t shop at souvenir stores, don’t care to inhale secondhand smoke and don’t want to sign petitions. But now the Downtown Denver Business Improvement District is installing Patio 16, an outdoor dining area in the median of the carless street between California and Stout streets. Patio 16 opened on Aug. 28 and will offer outdoor seating, enclosed patio railings, a variety of menu options from six local vendors and an outdoor respite for the downtown Denver community to gather, dine and unwind. Patio 16 provides a family-friendly area staffed during hours of operation to ensure a safe, clean and friendly experience, which is open to all residents, employees and visitors.

`Uncorked’ fall series opens
Started as a monthly event in 2010, “Fridays Uncorked” has grown into a weekly wine and music series that continues year-around at Bonacquisiti Wine Company at 4640 Pecos St. in the Sunnyside neighborhood. The fall series opens Sept. 4, and the Sept. 19 “Uncorked” event will feature the band My Old School — A Tribute to the Music of Steely Dan. My Old School is the culmination of the efforts of 12 professional Denver musicians who feel an affinity to Steely Dan and the music that Walter Becker and Donald Fagen created by applying jazz to pop music. In addition to the September music lineup, winemaker and namesake Paul Bonacquisiti will be featuring three new wine releases, including a bold spicy Petite Sirah, which last year sold out to wine club members upon release, as well as a Barbera and the [d] Red, a blend of 80 percent Merlot, 10 percent Syrah and 10 percent Zinfandel. The [d] Red is named after Delagua, the coal camp in southern Colorado where Bonacquisti’s father was born. The [d] Red and Barbera releases will be available by the bottle and on tap at the winery in one-liter refillable growlers. Each event runs from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Admission is free and wine is available to purchase, as is food from a food truck that changes each week. Seating is limited, so guests are encouraged to bring a chair. The live music line-up through September includes: • Sept. 4 - Knight Groove • Sept. 12 - Heavy, Timbo and Deb • Sept. 19 - My Old School • Sept. 26 - The Hip Replacements For more information, visit www.bonacquistiwine.com.

The kitchen at Saucy Noodle Ristorante at 727 S. University Blvd. in the Bonnie Brae neighborhood cooks up more than 1,800 pounds of garlic every year, and it’s been serving it for 50 years this month — that’s well over 75,000 pounds of garlic. Erin Markham, the third generation of the Badis family who now operates the restaurant with her husband, Nathan, held a 50th birthday celebration on Aug. 29. The party included menu specials and special prices that evoked the early days of The Noodle: Large one-topping pizzas for $3.95 and spaghetti and meatballs for $4.95. Markham grew up at the restaurant, which her grandfather Sam bought in 1964 and renamed from Jim Sano’s to “The Saucy Noodle,” with the culinary warning out front on its distinctive red and white canopy awning: “If you don’t like garlic, go home.” A lot of garlic goes into the Noodle’s spaghetti marinara, which is vegetarian but has so Parker continues on Page 15

PACE Center unveils 2014-15 season National acts, local favorites on agenda By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com With the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center gearing up for another season, Elaine Mariner, Parker’s cultural director, said, “Our goal in booking this season was to bring at least one national act every month while also featuring our hometown favorites. In addition, we sought to create a mix of entertainment options — from country and classic rock to Celtic and symphonic, with plenty of theater and dance.” Inspire Creative, a Parker-based theater company, will co-produce the theatrical events. Tickets to most shows are on sale and a new Family Circle membership program is offered. While singer-songwriter Clint Black’s performance on Oct. 4 is said to be sold out, tickets to other performances are available online and through the box office. On Sept. 8, Dr. Kaboom’s one-man science show blends theater and exploration. Wonderbound ballet company will include Colorado Symphony Orchestra musicians
The Russian National Ballet will bring a production of the classic “Swan Lake” to the PACE Center this season. Photo courtesy of Columbia Artists Management in its program, “Enduring Grace,” on Oct. 18-19, and the Parker Symphony’s “Unseen World” concert on Oct. 24 will celebrate Halloween with music about a demon
witch and flying bats. Veteran entertainer Michael Martin Murphy will use period costumes and traditional songs and old-time dances to
evoke the spirit of the 1934 Cowboy Christmas Ball on Nov. 28, followed by “A Classic Parker Holiday” with the Parker Chorale and Parker Symphony on Dec. 5-6. Inspire Creative will present Scrooge and “A Christmas Carol” on Dec. 11-14, while “A Parker Nutcracker” will wrap up the holiday season Dec. 18-21. Rosanne Cash, daughter of Johnny Cash, will start off 2015 with a Jan. 9 show and soon after, families can travel to Oz as ”The Wizard of Oz” plays Jan. 23-Feb. 8. Dance prevails in February with Wonderbound’s “Marie,” about Marie Antoinette, on Feb. 14-15, and a performance of “Swan Lake” by the Russian National Ballet on Feb. 19. Singer-songwriter Marc Cohn appears March 14, followed by Rocky Mountain Brassworks on March 15. Based on the best-selling children’s book series by Annie Barrows, “Ivy + Bean, The Musical” is a story of unexpected second-grade friendship on April 23. Christopher O’Riley, crossover pianist, presents “Out of My Hands” on April 25. The season finale brings Celtic stars Natalie McMaster and Donnely Leahy with “Visions from Cape Breton and Beyond: a Celtic Family Celebration” on May 13.

Jazz orchestra gains new artistic director Lone Tree shows have grown in popularity By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra starts its third season with changes. Director Art Bouton, Lone Tree resident and professor of saxophone at the University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music, started the orchestra by calling on an ensemble of Colorado’s top jazz musicians to perform at the Lone Tree Arts Center. In season two, it built to sold-out audiences for the last two concerts. Bouton has formed Colorado Jazz Inc., a nonprofit corporation, to help bring the CJRO to national prominence and announced a new position of artistic director. He is “Grammy-nominated jazz artist

much garlic in it that it looks like ground beef. “The red sauce is grandmother Inez Badis’ recipe,” Markham said. “It’s been a menu staple throughout the decades, alongside the most popular dish, lasagna, as well as spaghetti and the restaurant’s baseball-sized homemade meatballs.” The menu also features one appetizer that might not catch a younger person’s eye: Morey Amsterdam’s fried ravioli.
and educator Steve Weist, a cutting-edge composer and trombonist” who has recently joined the Lamont School as associate professor of jazz studies and commercial music, Bouton announced. Bouton said Weist “has spent seven years directing what is arguably one of the finest bands in the world, the University of North Texas One O’ Clock Lab Band. I just had to have him out front.” The CJRO will start its new season on Oct. 10 with “A Night in New Orleans,” featuring internationally known jazz trumpeter Byron Stripling. “Stripling is the artistic director of the Columbus Jazz Orchestra, leader of his own quartet and constantly in demand to play with pops orchestras around the world. An extroverted performer who brings the audience into his music, the happiness that he exudes through his trumpet, his vocals and his words is reminiscent of Louis Armstrong, yet very much his own,” Bouton said. He continued to say that Peter Olstad,
the regular lead trumpet for CJRO, was not able to play in the October concert, and Weist said: “Let me call my buddy who plays lead for Count Basie. He’ll think this will be fun.” This is an example of the kind of change Weist can bring to the band. “Holidays With the CJRO” is scheduled on Dec. 7 when the band will perform big-band holiday favorites, including Duke Ellington’s “Nutcracker.” On Jan. 23, there will be a tribute to Woody Herman’s Thundering Herd, and on March 23, vocalist Kim Nazarian of the New York Voices will be featured. Bouton said, “This band has been a dream come true for me. To see the Arts Center packed for a tribute to Maynard Ferguson concert, with people (who brought their own trumpets) playing along to `Hey Jude,’ was just amazing.” Tickets are on sale for the new season at the Lone Tree Arts Center box office, 10075 Commons St. in Lone Tree, lonetreeartscenter.org.
The dish is named after the late actor and comedian who is best remembered as part of the ensemble cast of the classic “The Dick Van Dyke Show” on television. “It’s called that because in the ‘60s he came in and asked if we had such a dish, and we didn’t so he helped himself to the kitchen and made it himself,” Markham said.
If you didn’t attend the grand-opening weekend, here’s what you missed: Top-notch Colorado band The Samples kicked off the summer band series, “Music on the Green.” The Red Bull Motocross Extravaganza featured Red Bull’s professional motocross stunt team drivers and dancing afterward with DJ Squirt’s hot beats.

Mustangs ride pitching to tourney win Ponderosa takes Don McCall title over Legend By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Ponderosa entered the Don McCall Softball Tournament winless but left with the championship trophy. The Mustangs, after season-opening, one-run losses to Vista Ridge and Discovery Canyon, clubbed six home runs and rode the pitching of senior Ally Power to notch McCall tournament wins over Vista Ridge, Adams City, Burlington and Ponca City, Okla., to advance to the finals. In the championship game Aug. 30 at Douglas County High School, the Mustangs took advantage of Legend errors and used key hits, plus the pitching of Power to down the Titans, 6-2. “I’m proud of the team,” said Ponderosa coach Toby Tabola. “They are going to come around. Nobody is a superstar except for our pitcher. We have real good chemistry, the best chemistry that I have had in a long time. I’m real excited about what this team will be able to do if we can stay healthy. “It’s early and we have an inexperienced team. Our pitcher keeps us in every game and if we can get better as a team we can do things.” Power, who struck out 54 batters in 27 innings during five tournament games, and Legend’s Janelle Gardner hooked up in a pitching duel for three innings, but the Titans went ahead 1-0 on an unearned run in the fourth inning when Kylie Hager delivered a run-scoring double. However, the Mustangs (5-2) used four Legend errors and got key hits from Sarah Coleman, Noraa Fort, Peyton Matejka and Kendal Boyum to score five runs in the fifth. “One earned run is what they scored,” said Legend coach Shelly Boyd. Peyton Matejka, who belted two home runs earlier in the tourney, had two hits

Photos by Jim Benton and scored twice. She had an RBI single in the fifth inning to plate the Mustangs’ second run of the frame. “I was so nervous,” said Matejka. “It was a 3-2 count. I was like if it comes down the middle I’m just going to rip it. I came into this season in a slump from comp ball and I was kind of nervous how it was starting out but I knew my team needed me so I had to show up.” Matejka, a sophomore, went 6-for-12 during the five tournament games. Sarah Carpenter also provided offensive punch with three homers in the tourney. Power, who tossed a five-inning nohitter against Adams City and struck out 12 batters, relaxed after the Mustangs’ fifthinning uprising. “It was really a key and it was really nice knowing we had such a big lead going into the next inning,” said Power, who pitched every inning of the tournament. “They produced and did it. I was actually getting tired
at the end but I pushed through it. Everything felt really on.” Power allowed four hits against Legend, fanned 12 batters and then was dunked along with the rest of the team after the game for accepting the Ice Bucket Challenge from Legend. “It was scoreless for four innings,” said Boyd. “Ally pitched a great game. It was a great battle. The problem was we didn’t see any fast pitching in this tournament until the championship game. It was slow, slow, slow and then a totally different speed and we couldn’t catch up.” Legend (4-2) scored 64 runs in tournament victories over Palmer Ridge, Pueblo Centennial, Elizabeth and Abraham Lincoln, but was virtually powerless against Ponderosa. Gardner gave up seven hits and fanned six Ponderosa batters. Brooke Doumer drove in the second Legend run against Ponderosa with a sixth-inning double that
scored Jesse Nunez, who opened the frame with a single. In the third-place game, Douglas County beat Mannford, Okla., 13-5, to avenge a 2-1 loss to Mannford in the first game of the tournament. Senior Ashley Kim was 3-for5, scored three runs and had five RBIs. She was a triple shy of the cycle with a single, double and 3-run homer.
SPORTS ROUNDUP High school football results
Colorado’s top two Class 5A football teams, according to the CHSAANow.com preseason rankings, scored impressive victories in the first official week of the season. Top-ranked Valor Christian improved its record to 2-0 on Aug. 28 with a 21-12 win over No. 4 Pomona, which stretched the Eagles’ winning streak over Colorado teams to 25 games. Senior backup quarterback Parker Courier replaced injured Dylan McCaffrey and completed nine of 14 passes for 97 yards and a touchdown. McCaffrey suffered a possible concussion. The defending state champion Eagles opened the season with a zero week 61-20 romp over Bonneville, Idaho. Cherry Creek, ranked second, faces Pomona on Sept. 5 after opening its campaign with a 21-14 win over No. 7 Regis Jesuit. Lutheran, ranked No. 1 in Class 3A, journeyed to Houston and came home
with a 56-55 overtime victory over Lutheran South Academy. Quarterback James Willis passed for 238 yards, receiver Joshua Clausen had 214 receiving yards and running back Jamil Bond rushed for 184 yards and three touchdowns for the Lions, which stopped a 2-point South Academy overtime conversion to seal the win. In other games, Mountain Vista rallied for 21 second-half points to earn a 21-6 season opening victory Aug. 28 over Mountain Range at Shea Stadium. Senior quarterback Brock Rubley connected on 14 of 21 passes for 176 yards and two touchdowns for the Golden Eagles. Senior Luke Nelson was in on 12 total tackles and recovered a fumble to spark the Vista defensive effort. Chaparral’s new head coach Rod Dobbs will have to wait until Sept. 4 to attempt to get his first victory when the Wolverines play Bear Creek. Grandview rushed for 279 yards and averaged 6.5 yards per carry in handing Chaparral a 46-l3 loss in the Aug.
28 season opener.
Hockey coming to Castle Rock
Mountain Vista will not be the only Douglas County high school with a hockey team. Castle View will have a co-op team starting in the 2015-16 season. Players from Douglas County, Castle View, Chaparral, Legend and Ponderosa will make up the new team, while Mountain Vista will draw potential players from ThunderRidge, Mountain Vista, Rock Canyon and Highlands Ranch. The Colorado High School Activities Association also announced the semifinals and finals of the state hockey tournament will be held at the Budweiser Events Center in Loveland for the 2014-15 and 201516 seasons. Semifinals next spring will be held Thursday, March 5 with the championship game set for Saturday, March 7.
Castle View opens with win
Savannah Heebner struck out 10 bat-
ters in five innings as Castle View opened the season Aug. 27 with an 11-1 softball victory over Cherry Creek. Sophomores Lexi Kagan and Ashlyn Dzialo each drove in three runs to spark the Sabercats’ offense. Chaparral improved its record to 3-1 with victories over Arvada West, Rocky Mountain and Lewis Palmer. The Wolverines outscored those three opponents, 46-12. In four games this season, Jordan Smith has gone 10-for-13 with 11 runs batted in.
New additions
Assistant coach Kathryn Ames has been elevated to the head coaching position for the Cherry Creek girls lacrosse team as she assumes the duties from Brianne Tierney, who resigned. Legend basketball coach Kevin Boley is the Titans’ new athletic director. He will continue to coach the boys basketball team.
PGA’s best to tee it up at Cherry Hills Staff report With dozens of the world’s best professional golfers set to tee it up at Cherry Hills Country Club this week, tickets are at a premium. No tickets will be sold at the gate for the Sept. 4-7 BMW Championship and fans are encouraged to check online at www.BMWChampionshipUSA.com for availability. “We do expect to see maybe over 140,000 fans for the week,” said BMW Championship General Chairman George Solich.
The BMW Championship is the third — and second to last — leg of the season-ending FedEx Cup playoffs. The top 70 players in the standings advance to Cherry Hills for the first Colorado PGA men’s event since the 2006 International at Castle Pines. The top 125 players in the FedEx standings, which didn’t include Tiger Woods, played Aug. 21-24 at The Barclays in Paramus, N.J. to kick off the playoffs. Hunter Mahan won the event, and in turn moved from 62nd to first in the standings, dropping Rory McIlroy to second.
Playoff contenders were trimmed to 100 for the Deutsche Bank Championship Aug. 29-Sept. 1 in Norton, Mass., and the top 70 will then come to Cherry Hills. Playoff points are added to those garnered during the regular season and points will determine the eventual champion following the Tour Championship Sept. 1114 in Atlanta. Only the leading 30 players in points after Cherry Hills will play in Atlanta. In addition to Mahan and McIlroy, other celebrated players in the top 100 prior to
the Deutsche Bank Championship include Bubba Watson (fifth), 2010 FedEx champion Jim Furyk (sixth), Rickie Fowler (11th), Sergio Garcia (15th), Kent Denver graduate Kevin Stadler (34th), Ernie Els (39th) and Phil Mickelson (57th). The contenders who make the Cherry Hills field will compete on a 7,352-yard, par 70 course with 3-inch deep rough. “With the rain we’ve had, the rough has got some teeth,” Solich said.

Legend edges Araphoe in opener Titans rally from 13-0 deficit in fourth quarter By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Arapahoe looked like a winner for 36 minutes in its game against Legend Aug. 29 at Sports Authority Stadium in Parker. Legend, however, was the better team in the fourth quarter and came away with a 1413 victory by scoring the winning touchdown with 1:16 remaining in the game. It was a typical season opener as both teams made mistakes while trying to establish an identity for the remainder of the season. “It was a good win for us because we are very inexperienced on offense, but our defense played lights out,” said Legend coach Rob Doyle. “We made too many mistakes. Just like they made a lot of mistakes late, we made a lot of mistakes early. It was just who was going to make the least mistakes at the end, and that’s where we got them.” Arapahoe coach Mike Campbell concurred. “Our effort was definitely good enough to win,” he said. “The loss came down to us not being mentally tough enough in the critical moments.” It was a defensive struggle for most of the game. Arapahoe, which had a 3-0 lead at halftime, had 111 yards in total offense in the first half while Legend managed just 97 yards. The Warriors finished with 282 yards in total offense compared to 212 for the Titans. Arapahoe put constant pressure on Legend sophomore quarterback Marc Muma with three down linemen and five other defenders lined up and ready to blitz. Muma said he wasn’t confused because the team had watched film on the Warriors, but it took time to adjust. “They blitzed from everywhere and it took a while for our kids to figure that out,” explained Doyle. “They got a lot more comfortable as we went along. Just to help him (Muma) out a little bit, we rolled out a little bit more because we didn’t know where their blitzes were coming. We were just trying to

Photo by Paul DiSalvo get away from them.” Muma, who made his varsity debut and said he learned a lot, completed six of his last 10 passes as the Titans rallied from a 13-point deficit. “We had way too many penalties to win a game like that one,” said Campbell. “With two trips into the red zone producing field goals and missing that TD throw and catch right at the end of the half, that to me is where the game got away from us.” Arapahoe took a 13-0 lead into the fourth quarter after 31- and 43-yard field goals by sophomore Nathan Waanders and a 69-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Pete Mitchell to Nick Thompson. Legend’s comeback started with a 63-yard drive in which Muma completed two passes for 34 yards and scored on a 2-yard run. That pulled the Titans to within 13-7 after Josh Lyons’ extra point kick with 4:05 left in the
game. Arapahoe failed to get a first down on its next possession and Legend took over at their own 48-yard line with 2:15 left in the game. Legend, helped by a pass interference penalty, advanced to the Warriors’ 20-yard line and faced a fourth-and-10 situation with 1:53 to play when Muma was sacked. However, Arapahoe was called for a facemask penalty, which gave the Titans a fourth and 4 at the Arapahoe 13-yard line with 1:49 left to play. “That’s one of those breaks,” said Doyle of the facemask infraction. “We didn’t get those in the first half and we needed that.” Muma delivered a quick pass to Austin Gilbert that went to the 1-yard line and then Brayden Freeman concluded the drive with a plunge into the end zone with 1:16 still showing on the clock. Lyons converted the winning PAT. “We had a play called and we thought it
was going to be a touchdown,” Doyle said of the fourth down call. “Then we were second guessing ourselves. We had too much time. It was a quick hitter because they were blitzing everybody.” The Titans’ defense didn’t allow Arapahoe to get a first down in the final 76 seconds of the game. Muma completed 11 of 27 passes for 139 yards. He was intercepted twice and lost 27 yards because of Arapahoe’s pressure. Freeman, a junior, gained 93 yards rushing on 22 carries. Mitchell passed for 137 yards and rushed for 43 to spark the Warriors’ offense. Nick Thompson rushed for 55 yards and caught two passes for 70 yards. Legend goes after its second win Sept. 4 against Rocky Mountain in Fort Collins, while Arapahoe travels to Colorado Springs to face Doherty that same day.

stations or coffee shops, but they “want more traffic than what we have right now,” he said, adding that the vacant huts will be reused eventually. The 2008 traffic and revenue study said the southern portion of the road would need to be widened by one lane in each direction by 2018, but the timeline for construction remains fluid and will be determined by the results of the newest study. “The widening will be expensive, but it will be needed,” McCuskey said. However, users shouldn’t expect a sudden rise in tolling fees. The toll schedule will remain on a trajectory for annual increases totaling 25 cents every three years. The highway authority is planning to use existing funds for the widening. The revenue portion of the study will get E-470 into a position where it can start to “level off” the $1.8 billion worth of debt remaining from the original construction of the tollway, McCuskey said. “We need to make sure that our revenue profile fits that increasing debt profile, which is why we’ve had increases,” he said.

FOR THE WEEK OF SEPT. 1, 2014
GALLERY OF GAMES
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Be careful not to allow the backers of a new financial “deal” to pull the wool over the Lamb’s eyes. It could hold fewer plusses and more negatives than you were first led to believe. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) It’s a good idea to finish all incomplete tasks so that you can devote your attention to next week’s projects. The weekend could hold surprises for romantic Fernandas and Ferdinands.
& weekly horoscope
GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A workplace suggestion you made a while ago that you might have forgotten could come back with a request to turn it from idea to reality. Your social life picks up considerably this weekend.
crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Someone from the past could return with an intriguing opportunity for a future project. Check into it, by all means. But don’t neglect your current responsibilities in the meantime.
GALLERY OF GAMES
LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Keeping your claws sheathed and using good humor instead to counter someone who’s bad-mouthing the Big Cat isn’t easy. But it’s the best way to avoid more problems down the line. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A workplace situation could improve if you’re less critical and more supportive of those who are, after all, trying to do their best. Let them know you’re there to help when necessary. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A new job offer might not carry all the benefits you’re seeking. Make sure you know what you’re entitled to, what is off the table and what is negotiable before you make a decision. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A social obligation you would rather get out of could hold some surprisingly positive aspects. Why not go and see for yourself? A family member makes a curious request.
