Summer-ending splashdown
Tuko, a 5-year-old wirehaired griffon, leaps for a rubber toy thrown by her owner, Paulette Davis, of Parker.
Visitors at H2O’Brien Pool were greeted with the unmistakable scent of wet dog Sept. 6 during the annual Barker Days celebration. Pooches had free rein of the pool, which was closed to humans one week prior and neutralized to make the water dog-safe. Pykaboo, a portly 8-year-old bloodhound, took time away from her duties as a therapy dog at The Children’s Hospital to make a splash, while her owner, Ginnie Larson, of Highlands Ranch, snapped photos. “It’s her favorite weekend of the year,” Larson said. Others took some coaxing, like 5-yearold black lab Kuroi, who was tossed in during her first visit to Barker Days.

Families, friends walk to share stories, support Fifth annual event unites 1,500 in suicide prevention By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com
T
ony and Valerie Marietta, who lost their daughter to suicide, almost didn’t come to the Sept. 6 South Metro Out of the Darkness Walk. “We weren’t emotionally sure we could do it,” said Tony Marietta, carrying a large, full-color poster displaying four photographs of his late daughter with the quote, `Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness to pull another hand into the light.’ “But we just decided it was something we should do.” The Mariettas were living in Monument in March 2012 when Sarah, 22, jumped off the Royal Gorge bridge. A high school and college athlete, as well as a ballet dancer, she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 19. “She had the most severe form of bipolar disorder,” Tony Marietta said. “But she had just a very good personality. She was funny, too. We were real hopeful everything was going well … when we got the phone call.” The Mariettas, dedicated not just to suicide prevention but bipolar awareness,
were among several groups of people at Highlands Ranch High School carrying signs with photographs of loved ones’ faces or wearing matching T-shirts bearing the name or photograph of a family member or friend lost to suicide. More than 1,500 people walked in the annual event, among hundreds of walks nationwide organized by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The Highlands Ranch event raised more than $90,000 that will be used for suicide awareness and prevention. “I felt like I need to be an advocate,” said Littleton resident Rhonda Watson, who lost her 50-year-old sister Cherianne Matzenbacher of Roxborough to suicide four months ago. “If it wasn’t for the support group I was going to, I felt like I could be in the same situation she was.” Watson wore a T-shirt that depicted a smiling blonde woman wearing an orange boa. “She was my best friend,” Watson said. “But we couldn’t save her. “We need to be more open and talk about (suicide).” Cathy Kennedy, whose friends and family wore orange T-shirts bearing a photographed head shot of her 16-yearold son Cory, moved back to the Denver area from New York after he died from suicide in July 2012. “He’s missed dearly,” said Cathy Kennedy, whose 2014 walk was her fourth
Dozens of butterflies are released into the air above Highlands Ranch High School during the annual ceremony that signals the start of the South Metro Out of the Darkness Walk. See additional photos on Page 3. Photos by Jane Reuter since his death. “We’re out here to represent, to get people to talk about these things.” Though the morning event started under gray skies and with cool temperatures, the sun broke through at about 10:45 a.m. near the end of opening ceremonies. Volunteers released several dozen butterflies into the air, which soared above the hundreds of walkers as they left the parking lot and began the
3-mile walk. The annual event, now in its fifth year, initially was organized by Sheri Cole, who lost her son David to suicide in 2009. Cole now is the AFSP’s Rocky Mountain area director. This year’s South Metro Walk chair is Laurie Freeman, who lost both her teenaged son and her husband to suicide. The week of Sept. 8-12 is National Suicide Prevention Week.

Salisbury Park North plan in final stages Public praises diversity in offerings in final plan
FEATURES IN FINAL DESIGN: Wefestival/sports are community. BMX/mountain bike skills course, promenade, sledding hill, boulevard parking, flexible lawn space, performance stage, wildflower meadow, splash play river, outdoor picnic rooms, dedicated pickle ball courts, batting cages, multi-use field and baseball/softball field.
By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com A diverse range of new activities is coming to a park near you. The Town of Parker, along with contracted landscape architecture firm Wenk Associates, presented a final design to transform 90 acres of vacant, town-owned land directly north of Salisbury Park, 11920 Motsenbocker Road. Salisbury Park North will include boulevard parking, flexible lawn space, a small stage, wildflower meadow, splash play river, adventure play area, dedicated pickle ball courts, batting cages, multi-use field, baseball/softball field, a sledding hill and a festival/sports promenade. According to a list that accompanies an online rendering of the concept, the adventure play area will include a BMX/mountain bike skills course, “rustic picnicking in a series of naturalistic outdoor rooms,” and softsurface trail loops. The adventure and splash river play area will be “oriented on the side of a bluff edge landform that mimics the bluffs around Parker,” the list says. The preferred concept is a “combination of what people liked” out of the three proposed designs displayed during an open house in June, said Lisa Zoeller, who helmed a public outreach process that drew hundreds

of responses. The plan will be slightly modified and adjusted based on feedback from the community and a technical advisory committee made up of parks maintenance employees, planning staff and the town’s recreation department. The committee administered a “reality test” on the desires put forth in the conceptual design process, Zoeller said. A “huge pickle ball contingent showed up” during a final feedback session in August and made a point of making sure their sentiments about dedicated courts were known, she said. Feedback about the plan has been positive, with the focus placed on diversity especially well-received. The most common suggestions for features are all represented in the selected design, Zoeller said. The plan for Salisbury Park North will be presented to town council in September. The plan will then be broken into projected costs and construction phases before being brought before council for final approval. Based on the costs for each phase and the prioritization of townwide capital projects, a timeline will be developed for park construction.

Town dedicates field to youth sports supporter Dale Farmer By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Dale Farmer’s impact on Parker has been immortalized in stone. The longtime resident, now in the middle of his eighth decade, has spent the latter half of his life tirelessly pouring his heart into activities, commissions and causes for the greater good of the town. Farmer played a particularly large role in the growth of youth sports, so much so that the Town of Parker named the No. 3 baseball field at Salisbury Park in his honor. A dedication ceremony at the field Sept. 6 was attended by Parker’s most notable contributors over the last 30 years. Town council members Debbie Lewis and Amy Holland pulled a black sheet from a stone placard that proclaims the baseball diamond as Dale Farmer Field due to his “dedication and commitment to youth sports and the Parker community.” Farmer also was elected to Parker Town Council and the board of directors for the Parker Water and Sanitation District, and even served as the first town administrator for a not-so-handsome salary of $1. With the help of a cane and a few friends, Farmer made his way to the podium Sept. 6 and was visibly moved by the distinction. He was humble in his brief remarks and,

They all signed baseballs that were then given to Farmer. Mayor Mike Waid talked about Farmer’s enduring legacy and said everyone in Parker has been impacted by his contributions. Farmer served as a mentor for Jim Cleveland, the long-serving director of the town’s parks and recreation department, in Parker’s early days. “He’s somebody who represents all that’s good about Parker,” Cleveland said. Salisbury Park is at 11920 Motsenbocker Road.

Survivor show canceled
After much deliberation, representatives from the 80’s rock band Survivor announced that they will cancel the tour that was scheduled to kick off at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center on Sept. 12. The announcement follows the unexpected death of lead singer Jimi Jamison, who died Aug. 31 of a heart attack at the age of 63. Patrons who have purchased tickets for the show at the PACE Center can receive a full refund or patron credit for other PACE presented shows, by calling the box office at 303-805-6800. “We are saddened by this tragic news, and our hearts go out to all members of the band and to Jimi’s family,” said Elaine Mariner, cultural director for the PACE Center. Known for hits like “Eye of the Tiger,” the band has been performing since 1977. In addition to canceling its performance at the PACE center, the band has canceled all of U.S. and European dates in September and October.
Brown’s Compounding becomes accredited
Brown’s Compounding Center, a Parkerbased pharmacy that creates customized prescription medications to meet individual patients’ needs, announced that it achieved
accreditation from the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board. The accreditation recognizes Brown’s commitment to meeting and exceeding the highest national quality standards. During the accreditation process, independent third-party evaluators assess a pharmacy’s system for assuring and maintaining staff competency, inspect facilities and equipment, review records and procedures required to prepare quality compounded medication, verify that the pharmacy uses ingredients from FDA-registered and/or licensed sources, and review the pharmacy’s program for testing compounded preparations. Evaluators also verify that the pharmacy is licensed to do business in each state where it operates. From its new 38,000-square-foot pharmacy near E-470 and Peoria Street, Brown’s pharmacists create personalized medications for patients in 42 states.

Schools take closer look at turnover R District disputes state’s figures, says best teachers are staying By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School District says the Colorado Department of Education’s statistics don’t accurately reflect local teacher turnover. Among the differences: The state measures a different time period than the district, includes charter school teachers and doesn’t account for in-district employee promotions or transfers, temporary employees or retirees. Those factors add up to a difference of almost 200 teachers, with CDE showing teacher turnover of 555 during the last year compared to DCSD’s tally of 362, according to a Sept. 2 report presented to the school board by its human resources staff. In 2013-14, the school district’s figures show 13.1 percent of licensed staff left the district. CDE recorded the district’s teacher turnover at 17.3 percent. State figures for 2013-14 showed DCSD teacher turnover up 4 percent from 2012-13. The most recent CDE statistics placed the district’s teacher turnover higher than those of most surrounding and similar districts, close to the state’s average of 16.6 percent. School board president Kevin Larsen criticized the CDE’s method of assessing turnover. “It’s not helpful when the state department that’s in charge of measuring these things chooses to do something that’s easy, but completely irrelevant,” he said. Board member Craig Richardson suggested alerting the CDE about their concerns,
saying it’s tough to do “an apples-to-apples comparison” with other districts. “Our usual antagonists will say there are other districts that have the same phenomena and therefore it washes out, but we just don’t know that … if we’re the exception in terms of rate of turnover, or we’re not,” he said. “No one’s in a position other than the department to get the detail from the districts. I think we should have a conversation with our friends on the board to see if they could ask some questions as to why this can’t be better.” CDE staff said Denver Public Schools also has expressed concerns. “Additional clarification has been requested for the report, which is planned to be added later this month,” according to an emailed response from CDE spokeswoman Megan McDermott. “Additional clarification includes how the turnover rate is calculated as well as (that) the headcounts used are as of Dec. 1 of the school year.” The Douglas County district’s staff numbers are taken on July 31 of each year — when a full school year has concluded — and the state’s on Dec. 1 — in the middle of an academic year. But the state’s data-gathering process is not new. “The human resources data collection has been collected as of Dec. 1 since 1999,” McDermott wrote. “The turnover rate report has been created with the same method since 2000.” Cherry Creek School District, whose staterecorded 2013-14 teacher turnover is 11.67 percent, doesn’t have concerns about the figures, but said it can be difficult to pinpoint the causes of turnover. “We don’t calculate the data any differently than the CDE, and we have no reason to ques-
tion the accuracy of the state’s findings,” Cherry Creek spokeswoman Tustin Amole wrote in an email. “I think what is hard to get at is the reasons for teacher turnover. Teachers leave to take other jobs, they leave teaching altogether, they move out of the area. You also have retirements, non-renewals and promotions. We don’t track any of that. “If, however, we saw a trend of higher than average turnover, we would try to dig into the numbers to see why.” Jeffco Public Schools said the staff member most qualified to answer questions about CDE data-gathering was not available for comment.
Diving into the numbers Departing and some current DCSD teachers and some community members have said the board’s reform-driven policy changes are driving teachers out of the district. The district introduced a revamped pay-for-performance and market-based pay plans for its teachers in 2012. It rates teachers on a scale ranging from “highly effective” to “ineffective,” correlating pay with the rating and the degree of difficulty in filling their respective teaching positions. But human resources staff members said their statistics show the best teachers are staying. Most of the district’s turnover is among teachers rated “partially effective” or “ineffective,” human resources staffers told the school board. Among those rated “highly effective,” 94 percent are still with the district, as are about 90 percent of those rated “effective.” “When you look at the overall numbers and you see a 6 percent turnover for highly effective and 9 percent for effective, (it shows) we are attracting and retaining the right peo-
Hic for

We’re saying, even though the system is working, how can we get better?” Of the licensed staff who left, DCSD con-By V cluded 70 percent left for reasons beyond thevvela district’s control, among them career changes, family circumstances, geographic relocations G or retirement. Beau Of the remaining 30 percent, categorizedbate as leaving for “controllable” reasons, most saidfirst t they left to work for another school district.off th HR staff said it would like to take a “deeper O dive” into those numbers. from “Folks are always going to be movingalty a around in their careers,” said Becky Hall, atrade manager in the district’s human resources de-to lea partment. “But the controllable items, those Th are the ones where we feel we can improve.audie Out of these numbers, the largest majoritydates went to work for another district. ward “We’ve recently just re-established ourwere termination reason codes.

Richardson, the school board member, suggested that work be targeted. “The effort we’re talking about is really focused on those highly effectives and effectives, in terms of understanding the reason for the change,” he said. “I’m not suggesting we go to that same level of effort for everyone who leaves.”
Dementia seminar coming to Lone Tree Free event will be held at arts center By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Dementia is a condition that eventually touches everyone in some way. “Fifty percent of those over 85 will develop some form of dementia,” said David Geras, CEO of Denver’s GoldLeaf Care Givers. “Unless we find a cure, the other half of us will be caregivers.” The impact of the disease is the focus of the free “Understanding Dementia” seminar set for 8 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. Sept. 27 at the Lone Tree Arts Center. Designed for all ages, the morning session will offer insight on dementia and Potter all its forms, as well as recent medical breakthroughs and research into Alzheimer’s disease. MorningStar Senior Living, the company currently building senior living centers in Lone Tree, Parker and Castle Rock, will provide breakfast for the event, coordinated by the Living and Aging Well in Lone Tree committee. Speakers include Dr. Huntington Potter of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Center and Natalie Grace of Lakewood-based Azura Memory Care. Geras will introduce the speakers. “Alzheimer’s is becoming a pandemic in this country and the world,” he said. “It’s the only cause of death in the top 10 (causes) that is not treatable, reversible, curable or preventable. You can take care of heart disease or diabetes, but Alzheimer’s? There’s no cure.” Dementia is a general term for loss of memory and other mental abilities severe enough to interfere with daily life. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s is the most common type of dementia, accounting for an estimated 60 to 80 percent of all cases. Geras not only works with seniors but has family members impacted by Alzheimer’s and dementia. “The reason it’s becoming more prevalent in our society is because we’re living a lot longer,” he said. “Also, our lifestyle and environment is probably not causing it directly, but leads to faster, quicker on-
set of the disease.” One of the speakers, Potter, has discovered a genetic link between Alzheimer’s and Down syndrome. He’s also studying the potential medical applications of a protein released in those with rheumatoid arthritis; sufferers of that form of arthritis don’t develop Alzheimer’s. “If he’s successful, there will be a version of Leukine on the market to treat Alzheimer’s; it’ll be the first drug ever to improve symptoms of Alzheimer’s,” Geras said. About 90 people already have reserved seats for the seminar, which can accommodate about 175. Given the broad impact of dementia, the Living and Aging Well committee expects a full house for the free event. “Dementia affects all kinds of people,” said committee member Sharon Van Ramshorst. “It’s something that really disrupts families, and is very difficult to understand and deal with.” The committee, formed in early 2012, coordinates monthly speakers and lunches at the Lone Tree Golf Club. An estimated 25 percent of Lone Tree’s population will be 55 and older by 2017. To RSVP for the seminar, call 303-2254930.

Rivals for governor trade jabs in debate Hickenlooper, Beauprez meet for first time on Western Slope
fficer ng on e sys-
con-By Vic Vela d thevvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com nges, tions Gov. John Hickenlooper and former Congressman Bob Beauprez swapped barbs during a lively derizedbate in Grand Junction on Sept. 6, marking the t saidfirst time the two gubernatorial rivals squared strict.off this fall. eeper On almost every debate topic — ranging from hydraulic fracturing to the death penovingalty and the state of the economy — the two all, atraded jabs over who would be the better man s de-to lead the state over the next four years. hose The debate’s energy was aided by a lively Beauprez rove.audience that often interrupted the candijoritydates with cheers and boos. That was especially the case toward the end of the debate, when Hickenlooper and Beauprez ourwere given the opportunity to ask each other a series of direct ve usquestions. ng to Beauprez used his first question to attack the governor over ed tohis evolving position on the death penalty, focusing on the governor’s decision last year to grant a temporary reprieve to dur-
Nathan Dunlap, the death row inmate who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993. “Yes or no, will you assure the people here tonight … that you will not grant clemency to Nathan Dunlap?” Beauprez asked. Hickenlooper — who once supported the death penalty, but who recently said he no longer does — said he has “no plans to revisit my decision and my decision stands.” “Government shouldn’t be in the business of taking people’s lives,” Hickenlooper said. Meanwhile, Hickenlooper turned the tables on Beauprez on another issue that the former congressman has used to criticize the governor — fracking. Hickenlooper touted his work on reaching a compromise on local control issues surrounding oil and gas drilling. The comHickenlooper promise kept anti-fracking measures from appearing on the November ballot — a result Beauprez had also wanted. “You said you wanted the ballot measures off the ballot and I did that, so can I count on your vote?” Hickenlooper said. Beauprez offered an icy response. “I think you know the answer to that,” he said. Hickenlooper is pro-fracking, but has also guided tough regulations on the oil and gas industry that aim to limit poten-
that lls to ents,”
Cash advantage goes to Hickenlooper
mber,
By Vic Vela
reallyvvela effec-@coloradocommunitymedia.com ason sting Gov. John Hickenlooper has raised yonemore than four times as much money as former Congressman Bob Beauprez in the two rivals’ gubernatorial campaign dash for cash. Hickenlooper has raised $4 million to Beauprez’s haul of about $828,000, according to the latest financial disclosures from the campaigns. Hickenlooper’s cash advantage was helped by the $545,791 that was donated to his campaign during the reporting period of July 27 through Aug. 27 — the incumbent governor’s largest singlemonth haul. Beauprez raised $223,510 during the recent reporting period.
Hickenlooper campaign spokesman Eddie Stern attributes the fundraising success to an economy that is gaining steam, thanks to lower unemployment and 33 consecutive months of job growth. “We are humbled by the amount of support we’ve received from people across Colorado,” said Stern. Beauprez campaign spokesman Allen Fuller isn’t impressed with Hickenlooper’s cash haul. “Every day it seems like there’s another example of why John Hickenlooper isn’t fit to lead Colorado,” Fuller said. “He’s going to need every dime he can get.” The Beauprez campaign has hammered Hickenlooper on areas of “failed leadership,” which they hope will resonate with voters.
They include attacks on Hickenlooper’s evolving position on the death penalty. The Beauprez campaign has been highly critical of Hickenlooper’s decision to grant an indefinite reprieve for death row inmate Nathan Dunlap. Rather than punching back, the Hickenlooper campaign continues to run positive ads. The governor’s healthy cash haul has allowed his campaign to purchase $1.7 million in all-positive television advertising for September and October. The Beauprez campaign is being helped by $1.8 million in advertising spending from the Republican Governors Association. After spending is factored in, the Hickenlooper campaign has $760,427 cash on hand to Beauprez’s $334,365.
tial environmental and health impacts of drilling. Beauprez said those regulations are only hurting an industry that pumps millions of dollars into the state. “Other states are more open for business for energy development and that’s where the jobs are going,” Beauprez said. The two candidates also shared sharp exchanges on economic issues. Hickenlooper highlighted an economy that has improved under his watch, one that has resulted in 33 months of consecutive job growth and an unemployment rate that continues to drop. But Beauprez said that the economy would be in a lot better shape if the government simply stayed out of the way of business. Beauprez said state regulations are largely responsible for that. Beauprez also blasted federal regulations and the Affordable Care Act. That led to criticism from Hickenlooper for focusing on issues that are handled at the congressional level. “Maybe you should be running for Congress if you want to go back and tackle the federal issues,” Hickenlooper said.
Nanci & Steve Trevino END OF LIFE DISCUSSIONS While aggressive treatment may be preferred by end-of-life patients wanting to prolong their lives at any cost, most dying patients want to avoid such measures. Among patients with advanced cancer, research shows that initiating end-of-life discussions at the earliest possible opportunity helps them avoid unnecessary aggressive care and take full advantage of hospice care. According to a recent study on the subject, nearly 58 percent of the terminal cancer patients entered hospice at some point. By fully discussing this option earlier and not waiting until patients showed clear signs of deterioration, end-of-life patients were better able to outline their wishes to die in the comfort of their own homes, with less pain, in the company of family.

Get success down to a tee Whenever we give someone a task or project to complete and we don’t provide them with the right tools, support, environment or expectations, it can be said that we are setting that person or that team up for failure. This happens in the business world just as much as it happens in our personal lives, doesn’t it? We see it happen when we make rash decisions, hire staff without providing the proper onboarding or training, and when we set unrealistic goals. As a matter of fact, setting people up for failure has become so commonplace that we now look at it frivolously or use the failure as the brunt of our jokes and usually at the expense of at least one person or team. Maybe failure has become easier than success. I mean, it’s easy to look into the future and predict what we will never achieve or cannot do as opposed to being forwardthinking and looking at what we can accomplish. And not only what we can accomplish but what our new hires, teammates, friends, and co-workers can achieve. And I think that setting the stage for success can be just as easily done as it is to set someone up for failure, and save us tons of time, money and resources. Have you ever heard it said, “Teed up for success?” The ball is sitting on the tee, no wind, wide open fairway, and it is just so simple to imagine a smooth effortless swing that sends the golf ball soaring beautifully straight down the middle of the fairway. But you see,
the ball landing safely in the middle of the fairway is the result of hard work, practice, coaching and commitment. And whether we are talking about the professional golfer or the weekend amateur, when we think about being “teed up for success” we have to remember what that actually means and the hard work and dedication it took to get there. Imagine just the opposite, we invite a friend or associate to a round of golf, they share with us they have never played before or it has actually been years since they have even swung a golf club. But since we really want to play and we need someone to round out our foursome we tell them not to worry, all will be well and we will just have fun. And then what do we do, we tell our friend, and maybe now former friend, that we are teeing off from the back tees, we have them using rented or borrowed clubs, and we forgot to tell them to bring enough golf balls. Fast-forward to the sixth hole and our once-a-summer golfing friend is completely frustrated and maybe even embarrassed, he
or she is dreading the back nine, our other golfing buddies are tired of playing a slow round, looking for golf balls after every shot, patience is wearing thin, and now they too are dreading the back nine. Everyone was set up for failure. The very same thing happens in sales, in management, in the chores we give our children, in the homework that is assigned, and in new tasks and projects in companies and organizations all over the world each and every day. And it is so easy to point the finger of “I told you so” instead of taking the time necessary to equip everyone with the proper tools and support, guidance and coaching, and appropriate setting of expectations to set the stage for success instead of failure. Setting good goals, setting stretch goals, keeping them realistic, and taking the time to help others get teed up for success may seem like it could be time-consuming, but I can promise you that it takes far less time and energy when we compare it to the costs of setting people up to fail. Are you teed up for success? Have you set the stage for others to succeed? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when the stage for success has been set, it will be a better than good week.

Words turn to mush when dog gets me going Smitty is on his dog bed next to me, sleeping. He is sleeping and making little woofs. I don’t know — I wish I did — what he is dreaming about. He might be dreaming about Miss October (Dachshund Edition) or the rabbit in the front yard who always gets away from him. Smitty wags his tail in his sleep. I suppress the word “cute,” but it’s cute. I admit it: Smitty softens my edges. Sometimes when I read the newspaper, I touch Smitty with my left hand. I guess I am hoping that his good energy will cancel some of the bad energy that comes out of the daily news. Smitty is my shadow. He follows me everywhere I go, but he pouts when I paint, and goes to the couch. This is starting to sound a little buttery. That’s what our pets do to us. I think it is very clear by now that he is glued to me and I am glued to him. Smitty was my father’s nickname and it was mine, when I was in high school. No one calls me Smitty anymore. Thankfully. I try to write a column about him every six weeks. I feel better when I am writing
about him. It seems like the rest of the time I am a humbug about something. My own constant drone of negative reporting gets to me. Unfortunately, I am good at it — making comments about disturbing human behavior. Like the maltreatment of women and children. And animals. “CEO loses job after kicking puppy.” Desmond Hague, CEO of a catering company, lost his job after nearly 193,000 signatures demanded it, after he kicked a Doberman pinscher puppy. It was captured in a video. I tried to watch the video and couldn’t. The shape of the puppy’s head reminded me too much of Smitty’s.
Hague apologized. I’ve decided that the newspaper needs an apology section. Everyone is apologizing to someone. “I’d like to apologize to my team, the organization, our fans, and the city of Baltimore. This is not who I am.” But it is. We fail. We fail all of the time. In the moment, we are pushed to an edge that betrays us, and everything is on film these days. Former Ravens running back Ray Rice punched his girlfriend in the face. There’s a video. Rice was initially suspended for two games, but has since been cut by the team and suspended indefinitely by the National Football League. Broncos punter Matt Prater drank beer in his home. Prater was suspended for four games before Rice’s lengthier suspension was handed down. It worries me to think what kind of a man I would be if it hadn’t been for Badger and Smitty. I bought Badger when she was six weeks old. She weighed about as much as a russet potato. Marshall continues on Page 9

Opa! Prost! Cheers! European fest brings traditional food, dance, more to Highlands Ranch By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Vikings were a global force — they raided and traded everywhere. So it’s no surprise they made an appearance at the seventh annual Colorado European Festival, which took place Sept. 6 at Civic Green Park in Highlands Ranch. The Fjellborg Vikings, a living history group, were at the festival to teach people about the age of the Viking, which was 800-1000 A.D., said Fjellborg Vikings member Anya Bowman. Vikings affected all of Europe, she said, and the impact is far-reaching in history and culture. “We’re representing a time of turbulence,” Bowman said, “the early time when Christianity was coming to Europe.
It’s a cool time period.” Along with the fighting demonstrations put on by the Fjellborg Vikings, attendees got to see performances from groups representing 11 different European cultures. Performances on the amphitheater stage at the park included musical concerts, cultural dances and a beauty contest. Several European-American communities were at the festival representing their homeland’s culture, including people from the following countries: Ireland, Scotland, Greece, Spain, Germany, Italy, Britain, France, Russia, Romania, the Ukraine, Sweden, Slovenia, Poland, among others. “We tried to involve all European cultures,” event organizer Lidia Wiggery said. “We just want to bring everyone together.” A main attraction of the festival was the European cuisine and beer garden. People were able to try traditional foods in the form of baked goods, meats and side dishes. “It’s so people can try something different and enjoy the atmosphere,” Wiggery said.

Wag n’ Trail celebrates 10th anniversary Hike benefits Dumb Friends League, area buddy shelter By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Dogs and Hiking. It may just be the quintessential Colorado fundraiser. The 10th annual Dumb Friends League Wag n’ Trail will take place Sept. 20 from 8-12 a.m. at the Glendale Farm Open Space northeast of Castle Pines. The event will benefit homeless pets at the Buddy Center in castle Rock. “This event started 10 years ago really just to raise awareness for the Buddy Center and homeless and neglected animals in Douglas County and since then we have given homes to 35,000 pets,” said Megan Rees of the Dumb Friends League. The Wag n’ Trail is a 1.6 mile through the open space’s rolling hills. Pets and people are encouraged to hike at their own pace. “It’s such a Colorado event,” Reese said. “You get to come and be outside and going hiking with your pets. It doesn’t get

much better than that.” Registration is free but participants are encouraged to raise money for the Buddy Shelter. In addition to the hike, there will be food trucks, music, dozens of vendors, adoptable dogs and agility demonstrations. There is also a 5-acre off-leash dog park near the trailhead. Participants who raise at least $75 will receive a Wag n’ Trail T-shirt, GoodTimes ice cream for you and your dog and a family photo. There will be an adoption special on dogs during the weekend of Wag `n Trail, Sept. 19-21, to coincide with the event. The Dumb Friends League will be offering $10 dog adoptions in honor of the 10th anniversary of Wag `n Trail at all shelter locations. All adoptions include a spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, microchip identification implant and a free office visit with a participating veterinarian.

Senate candidates go head-to-head Grand Junction debate features Udall, Gardner By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Although President Barack Obama isn’t on the November ballot this year, he was very much a part of a U.S. Senate race debate that was held in Grand Junction on Sept. 6. The president’s name dominated much of the fall’s first debate between Democratic Sen. Mark Udall and Congressman Cory Gardner, his Republican opponent in a race that is of pivotal political importance nationally. Gardner spent the early part of the debate hammering away at Udall for a voting record that is closely linked to the agenda of the Obama administration, which has long been mired in low approval ratings. Those attacks included Udall’s support for the Affordable Care Act, Obama’s signature piece of legislation and a law that Gardner focused on much of the debate. “Barack Obama and Mark Udall have put tremendous stress on our country,” Gardner said. But Udall defended his support of Obamacare and said that putting millions more people on health insurance rolls and doing away with insurance companies’ restrictions on pre-existing conditions has been a good thing for the country. The senator also said Obamacare is better than the Republican alternative. “We had a system of health care in this country that discriminated against women and your party has refused to take action,” Udall said. While Gardner tried to tie Obama to Udall throughout the debate, Udall responded toward the end of the debate with an assault on Gardner’s record on women’s issues - something the Udall campaign has been doing since the start of the campaign. Udall blasted Gardner over a congres-
sional record that the senator said has fallen short on issues of importance to women. Udall highlighted Gardner’s previous votes to de-fund Planned Parenthood and Gardner’s prior support for the so-called “personhood” amendment, which would have resulted in an essential ban on abortion. “Why are you getting in between women and their doctors?” Udall said. Gardner responded by pivoting to the economy and its impact on women. He also took issue with Udall’s advertising onslaught against Gardner’s record on women’s issues. “Millions of dollars of his message have simply and only been about social issues,” Gardner said. The two are locked in a tight race that could have an impact on the balance of power in the Senate. Democrats currently hold an edge, but that can change if Republicans flip a handful of seats this fall, including Udall’s. The two candidates also sparred on other issues, including energy development, social security and gridlock in Washington D.C. Interestingly, the two candidates were not asked about immigration reform — an issue that continues to go nowhere in Congress. Neither Gardner nor Udall asked each other about immigration when they were given the opportunity to ask their own questions toward the end of the debate. Mostly, the debate featured two Washington elected officials attacking each other’s records. After Gardner attacked Udall on issues that included water rights and homeland security, Udall mocked the congressman’s constant assault on his record. “I’m curious what problem facing our nation I haven’t caused,” Udall said to cheers from his supporters. Gardner’s base reacted similarly to the congressman’s response. “Me too.”
Planners seeking info on Walk and Wheel plan Lone Tree committed to improving walking, cycling routes on its city streets By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia. com A study to improve pedestrian and bicyclist access in Lone Tree continues, with planners gathering public feedback for the Walk and Wheel Plan. An update on the plan, scheduled to be submitted to the city council in draft form this December, was presented to the city council during its Sept. 2 meeting. The Walk and Wheel Plan is financed by a $100,000 Kaiser Permanente grant. Planners have attended public events to ask residents their thoughts about walking and cycling ease in Lone Tree. They’ll do so again at the Taste of Lone Tree Sept. 13. Those who can’t make the Taste can offer feedback online at www.ltwalkandwheel.com. An interactive map allows people to add a proposed trail or sidewalk, and mark problematic crossings or maintenance issues. City staffers want the plan to consider cyclist safety a top priority. “Wherever possible, we’ve asked them to look at protected bike lanes (that are) somehow separated from the travel lanes,” public works director John Cotten said. “In almost all cases, that’s going to mean modifying the street. On Lincoln, Yosemite and Park Meadows Drive, we don’t want bicyclists in the traffic lanes if we can help that.”
The city hasn’t made any decision about how to finance new trails, added bike lanes or sidewalks, but city staff said they’re firmly behind not just the creation of the plan, but bringing its suggestions to fruition. “We really tried to make sure this is a very implementable plan,” Cotten said. “Pedestrian travel, with a few exceptions, is not that hard in Lone Tree. It’s the biking that’s difficult. Council is very committed to trying to get something done to significantly improve that.” Mayor Jim Gunning said acquiring right-of-way to create bike lanes may involve “a capital investment decision for council.” “I think it’s great we’re doing this,” he said. “It’s certainly an item of significant interest to a lot of the residents.” “We’ve known for quite some time we needed something like this,” agreed council member Harold Anderson. “We have a lot of pedestrians in town, but for the most part they seem to get along better than the bicyclists do because they’ve got the sidewalk.” Planners are looking not only at the existing network of Lone Tree streets, but future development on RidgeGate’s four-acre property east of Interstate 25. The plan will propose design standards to ensure streets there take pedestrians and bicyclists into consideration “from day one,” said planner Charlie Alexander of Fehr & Peers Transportation Consultants. The document won’t ignore drivers either. “Projects like this tend to be about making decisions that involve tradeoffs,” Alexander said, noting driver safety and convenience is factored into any proposal. “We’re trying to strike that right balance.”

Parker teen charged in deadly wreck Resurfacing project Two killed, one injured underway on SH 86 in high-speed crash Staff report A Parker teen was formally charged with vehicular homicide and vehicular assault after an accident that killed two high school students and seriously injured another. Marshal Gregory, 17, was charged by the El Paso County District Attorney’s office Sept. 5, four days after a crash near E. Baptist Assembly Road and Roller Coaster Road in Monument. Two of the passengers, identified as 17-yearold Beau Begier and 18-year-old Ryan Pappas, were pronounced dead at the scene. A second 17-year-old passenger, Mitchell “Jack” Clark, suffered serious injuries and was transported to a local hospital by air ambulance. The Colorado State Patrol issued a press release with details of the Sept. 1 accident. “A 2009 Cooper Mini convertible was traveling eastbound on E. Baptist Assembly Road at a high rate of speed when the driver failed to stop at a stop sign at Roller Coaster Road. As the vehicle crossed Roller Coaster Road, it became airborne. It then lost control and spun off the north side of the road, through a ditch, and a grove of
trees until it came to rest on its wheels,” state patrol investigators said. The CSP report says the teen driver appears to have driven through a stop sign at 80 mph in a 40 mph zone. The car hit a bump in the road and went airborne for nearly 60 feet, bounced, went another 65-plus feet airborne, bounced again traveling airborne nearly 40 feet, then crashed through a fence and into a tree. The Cooper’s driver, a 17-year-old male from Parker, was wearing his seatbelt and suffered minor injuries. He was transported to Penrose Main in Colorado Springs for treatment. “After being released from the hospital, the driver was arrested and taken to a juvenile detention facility,” the release said. In his first court appearance, juvenile court magistrate Denise Peacock announced that Gregory would be tried as a minor and released into his parents’ custody with a court-ordered tracking device required. That tracking device is to be provided by the Parker Police Department. He is prohibited from driving and must remain under adult supervision at all times. Three of the boys were seniors at Palmer Ridge High School. Gregory recently transferred from PRHS to a school in Parker. — Rob Carrigan contributed to this report.
Staff report The Colorado Department of Transportation began a resurfacing project Sept. 4 on State Highway 86 between mile markers 38.1 and 50.5, east of Kiowa, between Ramah Road (CR 105) and Matheson Road (CR 149). In addition to the asphalt resurfacing, five existing bridge decks will be rehabilitated along with upgraded bridge rail and guardrail. “This project will not only create a smoother drive for motorists, but will help increase the life of the highway,” said project engineer Karl Larson. “Although there will be delays through the area for a couple of months, the end result will be a much better roadway surface for motorists.” Crews will work daytime hours on bridge deck rehabilitation and asphalt paving. Traffic, which will be controlled by flaggers, will be reduced to one lane of alternating traffic during paving operations. While bridgework is taking place, traffic will be controlled through the use of temporary traffic signals, which will be reduced to one lane of alternating traffic. These two elements will be performed concurrently. Crews will be working on the project Mondays through Fridays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Some Saturday work is possible, but will be announced at a later date. Oversize trucking restrictions will be in place for bridgework with limited widths of 12 feet. Throughout the project, delays of 10 to 15 minutes will be possible. Motorists are encouraged to allow extra travel time and to drive slowly through cone zones. The project, contracted to Kiewit Infrastructure for $6 million, is expected to last until December.

More legal pot needed, state regulators say High prices create opening for black-market sales By Katie Kuntz
Rocky Mountain PBS I-News After seven months of recreational marijuana sales in Colorado, the newest goal of state regulators is to increase the amount of marijuana produced and sold by legal retailers. “Right now we are pretty significantly under what should be produced,” said Ron Kammerzell, deputy senior director of enforcement for the state Department of Revenue. “What that does is raises the prices, and if the price is too high, then we can’t compete with the black market, and that was our ultimate goal with Amendment 64 — we wanted to eliminate the black market,” Kammerzell said. But new data comparing demand for marijuana in Colorado with legal supply suggests that criminal enterprises could continue to flourish. A report commissioned by the Marijuana Enforcement Division earlier this year indicated that Colorado residents and visitors will consume an estimated 130.3 metric tons of marijuana in 2014, but only about 77 metric tons will come from legal medical or recreational outlets. The rest, about 53.3 metric tons of cannabis, or nearly 40 percent of the total marijuana demanded, is expected to be produced by unregulated sources. Those sources include “gray market” producers, including home-growers who can legally grow up to six pot plants for personal consumption, or black-market producers, including gangs, who operate outside of the Colorado legal system. The state’s solution, then, is to increase the amount that is produced legally. “Basically, the state is trying to ensure that the amount that is being grown in Colorado equals what the demand is,” said Mike Elliot, the executive director of the Marijuana Industry Group, a trade association representing the interests of the Colorado marijuana industry. “If there is too much, then people want to take it out of state or sell to kids (minors), and if there is too little, then the black market will fill in the gaps.”
Legal weed runs short Right now, the state is facing a shortage of legal marijuana. For state regulators, this creates a problem, as reducing the black market was not only a priority of Amend-

“ ...offers support and resources to those children and adolescents who have fought or are fighting cancer or other debilitating diseases.”
ment 64, but it is also a federal priority. U.S. Deputy Attorney General James Cole issued a memorandum a year ago that listed selling to minors, exporting marijuana out of state, and enriching the black market as offenses to be avoided in order to keep the Justice Department on the sidelines in states where pot is legal. While the state, the federal government and legal marijuana businesses all hope to undercut the black market, their ideas about how to do so vary dramatically. As the state looks toward altering production controls, marijuana retailers say supply isn’t the issue. The real problem is price. “After the cost of producing each pound, I still have to pay a 15 percent excise tax, licensing fees, huge rent because landlords overcharge marijuana dispensaries, and when I pay federal income tax I can’t deduct like a regular business,” said Brian Ruden, owner of Starbud, Altermeds and Tree of Wellness medical and recreational outlets in Denver, Louisville and Colorado Springs. “It ends up that I am selling an eighth (of an ounce) for $60 when the street price is about $25.” On average, state, local and federal sales taxes on recreational marijuana are just over 21 percent, while the taxes on medical marijuana are about 7.6 percent. Even though the federal government still categorizes marijuana as a dangerous drug, it collects tax revenue on its legal sale in Colorado and Washington. And the black market benefits from the high taxes, too — as their products can be sold for much less. “I have had locals come in here without their med cards, and ask what our recreational prices are and just turn around and leave,” said Nelson Figueiredo, a “budtender” at Medicine Man dispensary in Denver. “They have friends who can sell them pot for much cheaper.”
Tax boosts black market
One of the demand study’s authors, research analyst Adam Orens, agreed that the price and tax structure could contribute to the continued black market, but the focus now is to re-evaluate the production management system. “We don’t have it right yet,” Orens said. “But one thing that came through during the study was that the Marijuana Enforcement Division did not want to restrict the market, but was very thoughtful in trying to make sure they have a functioning system.” The current production controls are monitored using a plant count, where different stores are issued licenses that allow the production of up to 3,600, 6,000 or 10,200 plants, depending on the stores’ license designation.
This differs from the approach taken by the state of Washington, which monitors marijuana production by square foot of growing space, but which has much less data available, as retail sale of marijuana has only been legal there for just more than a month. As the Colorado industry continues to grow, regulators hope to allow steady growth of the legal market. “We really want to do this in a very predictable and controlled way,” Kammerzell said. “I think what we are seeing is that the biggest driver right now is supply, and that is what we intend to address.” Kammerzell explained that the Marijuana Enforcement Division does not control tax structure. Changes there would have to be considered by the Colorado General Assembly. “It’s going to be a dynamic work in progress,” Kammerzell said. “Whatever comes from this work group won’t mean our work is done. It will keep changing over time and we will make adjustments.” The first scheduled work-group meeting to discuss a new production control proposal was held in mid-August.

The population of the Denver metro area was expected to exceed 3 million last month, according to state estimates. The Colorado Department of Local Affairs uses the month of July to forecast population numbers annually. The department estimated that the Denver metro area’s population on July 1 would have been 2,994,534 and would have passed the 3 million mark in August. Elizabeth Garner, a state demographer, said the average monthly increase in population in the Denver metro area is 3,551, meaning its population reached 3

million in mid-August. Garner said the growing population can be attributed to a healthy economy in the Denver area. “There is a high correlation between job growth and population change,” she said. “We’re toward the top in the U.S. in terms of recovery and growing jobs.” Garner said population numbers in Larimer and Weld counties are growing at an even faster rate than the Denver metro area, thanks to high job growth in the oil and gas industry there. But other parts of the state, such as the Western Slope and parts of the southeast, are losing residents. Garner said that can be attributed to jobs leaving those parts of the state and not coming back. “If you don’t have a job, it’s hard to stay,” she said.

‘CITYSCAPES’ as art
Town Hall exhibit has urban look By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Town Hall Arts Center’s exhibit coordinator, Nancy Boyson, is trying to plan exhibits for the Littleton venue’s Stanton Gallery that relate to what’s playing upstairs in the theater. In this case, the musical is “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” and she thought a city/architectural theme would work. Painters Elayne Moseley, Alan Zeigel and Sue Fraley open a show called “The Art of Cityscapes” on Sept. 11, running through Nov. 5. Moseley exhibits work from her “Architectural Lingua” series, including the view of Denver’s Golden Triangle, painted en plein air while seated outside.
She works in oil paint with traditional brushes on stretched canvas. She thinks “one’s artwork must reflect that journey that the artist takes and express it in such a way that the viewer feels the artist’s passion.” She teaches drawing at the Art Students League of Denver and works in her home studio as well as outdoors. Alan Zeigel was trained in watercolor while a student in architecture at CU/Boulder. He lived in France and traveled in Europe, Asia and South America. He was a founder of OZ Architecture with Tom Obermeier, then returned to watercolor, studying at the Art Students League of Denver. He is a Signature member of the Colorado Watercolor Society and exhibits at Bell Gallery. Sue Fraley said her interest in painting urban scenes began after a visit to Zihuatanejo, a small fishing village on the west coast of Mexico, with luminous white and pastel buildings.
IF YOU GO Stanton Gallery is located in Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., Littleton. The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and during performances. “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” runs Sept. 12 through Oct. 12. 303794-2787, townhallartscenter.org. When she got home, she painted a number of works from her photographs. She then began to explore Denver’s architecture. She works in oil and paints outdoors on many days. For 25 years, she worked as an architectural drafter and bases most of her paintings on street scenes in downtown Denver. She is a member of the Art Students League of Denver and participates in the annual Summer Art Market there.
It sounded like a match made in Republican heaven when Monica Owens, daughter of former Gov. Bill Owens and ex-wife Frances, and John Beauprez, professional poker player and marketing specialist and son of governor wannabe Bob Beauprez and wife Claudia, got engaged on the Fourth of July. And if the upcoming gubernatorial election goes their way, Monica could have the distinction of being the daughter and daughter-in-law of two Colorado governors. The cute couple celebrated their engagement among friends and family on Aug. 30. On her Facebook page, Monica said that as of Aug. 28, the wedding was exactly six months away. Monica, a Republican pundit and owner of Owens Public Affairs, and John, who’s all over social media for his poker prowess, found each other when John’s mom, Claudia, strategically seated the young’uns next to each other at a black-tie dinner. And just in case you want to give the betrothed a wedding gift, they are registered at www.registry.theknot.com/monica-owensjohn-beauprez-february-2015/9018648.

Kevin Taylor comes to Aurora
Denver’s Kevin Taylor Restaurant Group, helmed by renowned chef Kevin Taylor, will open a new restaurant and beer hall in the recently announced development Stanley Marketplace at 2501 Dallas St. in Aurora, just a few feet from the southern border of Stapleton. Unlike Taylor’s other Denver restaurants, which include Palettes at the Denver Art Museum, Kevin Taylor’s at the Opera House and Limelight Supper Club & Lounge, this restaurant and beer hall will exist in a casual industrial atmosphere, highlighting the architecture of the former Stanley Aviation Building, where airplane ejector seats were manufactured for roughly 50 years. The menu will offer items made with locally sourced produce, as well as craft beer and local wines and spirits. “I’m excited to move forward with our next venture in a different way,” said Taylor. “Approachable restaurants are the future, and I believe we can provide the level of cuisine for which we’re known, but in a way that is appealing to everyone, and fits within Stanley, and the surrounding community, perfectly.”

Littleton bear artist heads for top show Hugglets festival in London definitely isn’t kid stuff By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Early on the morning of Sept. 14, a line will form outside the Kensington Town Hall on Hornton Street in London (by Kensington Gardens). These individuals hope to be among the first to enter the Hugglets Teddy Bear Festival — three floors of booths in four halls — featuring 170 teddy bear artists and vendors of related items. The choice bears sell fast. The organizers promise that there will be over 10,000 teddy bears available to collectors. The bears are not kids’ toys — they are pricey collector treasures, beloved worldwide. Among the exhibitors from Britain and around the world will be bear artist Michelle Lamb of Littleton, who will bring the newest creations from her business, One and Only Bears. She will exhibit about 15-20 one-ofa-kind meticulously detailed bears (large and miniature), rabbits and a squirrel. Some wear beautifully made costumes and all have carefully sculpted mouths, eyes, ears and noses that give them a distinct personality. She speaks of her art as “soft sculpture.” Included: a red, white and blue drummer named Britain and a tall pink mohair rabbit — reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland’s perpetually late friend. The latter has a starched collar and leans against a small trellis with flowers. Dark gray mohair “Argenta” has a greenish cast and sports a green ruff and skirt, plus a hat of felt flowers. “Arabella,” dressed in elaborate frock and hat, was displeasing her maker when we visited: The eyes didn’t “look right.” Eyes were also an issue with a tiny white “Troubadour” bear, but we are certain proper adjustments were made before their travels began. Lamb departed a week early for a special teddy bear tea at a shop in Aberdeen, Scotland, called Silly Bear. (“Winnie-the-Pooh” fans will recall Christopher Robin’s affectionate “silly old bear” expression.) Lamb had previously shipped 10 bears for this collectors’ event. While at Hugglets, Lamb will teach a class in needle sculpting and shaping a bear’s head
A gathering of bears, large and small, each with different custom details, are included in Michelle Lamb’s Hugglets display. Photo by Sonya Ellingboe and mouth — her specialty. Participants will bring a pre-cut and filled bear head with them. Sometimes when she teaches, she supplies patterns for her students. And she will work with two students from abroad after she returns to Denver, she said. She hopes all her bears will sell early — although they will remain on display through the day. Then she can shop. She buys her special mohair at these shows — much of it comes from Germany, the home of the famous Steiff teddy bears. She also prowls resale stores continually for old mohair coats, but not so many are available any more. She may also locate odd jewelry, buttons, bits of ribbons, lace and fabric that go into her collection of treasures — slated to reappear later on new bears. (A visit to her studio summons up an image of an old curiosity cabinet.) Lamb said she was working in design and was laid off when her first baby was born. She started crafts and made “craft-quality bears” and other items. In 2000, One and Only Bears came to life as she learned what was involved in making an “artist-quality” bear. Her website speaks of her involvement in this highly specialized universe:
“Britain” a custom teddy bear of Lamb’s, was made especially for the Hugglets Fair. Photo by Sonya Ellingboe “The ability to create beauty from such disparate parts as fabric, hardware, glass and fluffy filler remains a constant wonder to me and my goal is for this same wonder to come across in the faces of my teddy bears. They are individually designed to have their own unique personality and I spend as much

Tier II groups named by grant agency SCFD doles out tax money for arts, culture By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com In 1988, Denver metro-area residents voted to create the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District. The SCFD has, between 1989 and 2013, distributed more than $804 million to more than 300 creative organizations via the 0.1 percent (1 cent on every $10) retail sales tax in the seven-county district — and generated national recognition. The included counties are: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas
(except for Castle Rock and Larkspur, which opted out) and Jefferson. Funds are to be used for “production, presentation or preservation of art, music, theater, dance, zoology, botany, natural history or cultural history.” (Voters will be asked to renew the tax district in 2018.) Eligible organizations are divided into three tiers: Tier I includes the biggest organizations: Denver Art Museum, Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Denver Museum of Nature & Science and Denver Zoological Gardens. They receive 65.5 percent of SCFD funds each year. The next group of 28 Tier II organizations, recently named by the overall SCFD Board of Directors, must have an annual operating income of at least $1,514, 482 for the prior year. Five south area locations are included: Hudson Gardens and Event Center, Lone Tree Arts
Center, Parker Cultural Department, Swallow Hill Music Association (building in Denver, parking across the street in Englewood), and The Wildlife Experience. Each of the 28 will share in 21 percent of annual SCFD funds. (Ninety-five percent of this amount may be used for general operations and 5 percent is designated for programs or projects that address regional impact, quality, need, accessibility, collaboration, innovation or enhancement, according to an SCFD news release.) Distributions will be announced after the first of 2015. Tier III organizations, which have lower operating budgets, will be named next. They number about 300 and include such organizations as Town Hall Arts Center; Littleton Symphony; Arapahoe Philharmonic; Lone Tree Symphony; Wonderbound Ballet Com-
pany, which appears at Lone Tree and Parker this season; Young Voices of Colorado; South Suburban Parks and Recreation; Englewood Recreation Department’s Summer Musical program; Parker Symphony; Voices West; and many more. Names of qualifying groups will be announced soon for the next distribution. Each organization has submitted detailed budgetary and operating information to its county cultural council. Area representatives on the SCFD board include chairman Dan Hopkins of Arapahoe County and Kathryn Spuhler, who was a 10year member of Douglas County’s Cultural Council and assisted in developing the county’s cultural plan. More information, including how to qualify, is available by contacting scfd@scfd.org.

Colorado Ballet gets home of its own Renovated warehouse stands at north end of arts district By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com For the first time in its 54-year history, the Colorado Ballet owns its home. The organization recently left its
longtime location at 13th and Lincoln (owned by the State Land Board) and moved into 1075 Santa Fe Drive, a former warehouse. A capital campaign raised funds for the $6.5 million facility. It was transformed into 30,000 square feet of renovated space, tailored to the ballet company’s needs by Semple Brown Design. The firm also designed the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, where Colorado Ballet dancers perform regularly (as well as at the Newman Center). The new facility, which houses the professional company and the Colorado Ballet Academy, features seven studios and a Black Box Theater, which also serves as a studio with theatrical lighting. Here the company can expand outreach to its new neighbors and people with disabilities — and offer small performances in the theater, according to artistic director Gil Boggs. Expect student performances in the Black Box Theater on First Fridays, for example.
“The search for a new space for the Colorado Ballet has been our priority for nearly a decade, thus the opportunity to turn a quiet structure in Santa Fe Drive into a theatrical showcase for the dancers and organization has truly been an honor,” Boggs said. In addition to providing the organization with a permanent home, the location is a new anchor at the north end of the thriving arts district. The company begins an expanded season on Sept. 26 with a production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, followed by “Dracula” from Oct. 31-Nov. 2 and “The Nutcracker” from Nov. 26 to Dec. 27. In 2015, programs will include “Ballet Masterworks” and “Peter and the Wolf.” Tickets: coloradoballet.org or 303-837-8888, ext. 2. The organization presents more than 50 performances annually.

Special to Colorado Community Media As summer ends and autumn begins, temperatures throughout Colorado begin to fall, and soon long-sleeve shirts, pants, sweaters and jackets become everyone’s clothing items of choice. As a result, the tan you worked so hard to achieve during the warm summer months will be virtually invisible because it will be hidden under layers of clothing. Knowing this, is it really worthwhile to maintain your tan during Colorado’s cold months? Nobody’s going to see it anyway, right? It’s almost impossible to naturally sustain tan skin during the fall, winter and spring in Colorado. The weather is simply too cold to lie outside on a beach chair in a bathing suit, slathered in tanning oil, from September through May. But despite the fact that outdoor tanning is not an option in Colorado for many months out of the year, people often opt for other tanning methods so they can maintain their golden-toned skin year round. However, it’s important to keep in mind that some types of tanning mechanisms are much safer than others. Earlier this year, the federal Food and Drug Administration issued a final order that reclassified sunlamp products (which include tanning beds) as “moderate-risk” devices. Also, the FDA is now requiring that a highly visible warning label be placed on all sunlamp products. The warning label will specifically state that nobody under the age of 18 should use any type of sunlamp due to the risk to the user’s health. With their new FDA classification, it’s highly possible that the popularity of tanning beds will drop significantly for people of all ages. So what are your other choices? If achieving tan skin is a top priority for you, even when the weather is cold, your goal is entirely possible. And you can even attain golden-toned skin while avoiding potentially harmful tanning salons, sunlamps, and other damaging ultraviolet radiation exposure. Here are three of the most popular sunless tanning
methods that don’t involve exposure to dangerous radiation: The first option is spray tanning. It’s possible to spraytan your entire body to achieve any level of golden-toned skin that you desire (from light to dark). You can apply a spray tan yourself, or you can opt for a professional application. Another option is tanning towels. Many beauty brands manufacture these products. The towels are pre-soaked with a sunless tanning product that can be easily applied to your face, legs, or entire body. Finally, there is sunless tanning lotion. This product is easy to use. Simply purchase a bottle (which is relatively inexpensive), and rub it into your skin. Most brands of sunless tanning lotion begin tanning your skin on contact. You can use as little or as much as you want, depending on the skin tone you desire. If you want to keep your skin tan, look into these methods to achieve your goal safely. You can have skin that is tan-looking all year round without the risk involved with UV exposure.

Winterizing gives gardens a boost Simple steps smooth way for next year’s harvest By Heather Ridge
Special to Colorado Community Media When seed catalogs come out in the early spring, eager gardeners can be spotted trudging through the snow to plan out where they’ll plant their zucchini and zinnias. And after a long, hot August of weeding and watering, many gardeners pick their final harvest and let the cooling temperatures and first blanket of frost lull their garden to sleep for the season. Here in Colorado, however, putting a garden to bed properly for the winter can be just as important as waking it up in the spring. A few simple steps taken this autumn can lead to an easier, more bountiful harvest next year.
Clean up
While leaving a bit of stubble from harvested crops is becoming more common in field crops to prevent soil erosion, it causes more harm than good in a home garden. Pests and diseases, such as aphids and powdery mildew, are able to winter over in Colorado as eggs and spores, and leaving old tomato plants and squash stems in your garden beds give them a place to wait out the winter months under the snow. After the first frosts, pull out all your leftover crop material and throw it on the compost pile. The exception to this is any bean or pea plants. Legumes — members of the Fabaceae family — are able to add necessary nitrogen to the soil using a symbiotic relationship with soil bacteria around their roots. Snip these off at the soil level and leave the roots and their helpful bacteria in
Bounty like this from a Colorado garden gets a head start with proper winterizing. Photo by Heather Ridge the ground for next spring.
Add compost
As your garden grows, plants take up nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium in large quantities, along with smaller amounts of other micronutrients such as magnesium and iron. Different plants need different amounts of these essential elements, which is why it’s a good idea to rotate crops from year to year between heavy feeders, such as garden greens and tomatoes, and lighter feeders like beets and other root crops. Adding compost to the top of your gar-
Hard-boiled play on Lakewood stage
den beds each year is a great way to make nutrients more available for all crops. A 3-inch layer laid down in the fall will break down slowly over the winter and improve both fertility and water-holding capabilities for plant roots later on. Spreading compost in the fall rather than the spring means fresh compost will not “burn” tender seedlings with high levels of ammonia.
Use mulch
Many people think mulch is only for perennial beds and under trees, but a heavy layer of leaves or grass clippings on top of your composted beds will hold in moisture,
keep temperature more constant and prevent weed seeds from taking hold in your vegetable garden as well. Rather than bagging them, spread fallen leaves thickly onto your beds and let them sit through the winter. They will not break down much but will be easy to rake back in a thick layer and compost in the spring, exposing warmer and more nutrient-rich soil for planting in March. Not only will this method protect your garden soil, it will save your back from all the bagging and raking and give you time to sit back and enjoy your bountiful back yard.

`A Steady Rain’ stays with theater’s `edgy’ approach By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The audience is surrounded by grimy alleys and a fenced junkyard at The Edge Theater for a theater-inthe-round production of “A Steady Rain.” Lights are low except for spots on the two cops — buddies since childhood — who guide us on a downward path as they work their beat. The furnishings consist of three metal stools. Lighting is effective and tense background music floats through the grungy alleys. Two strong actors, Rick Yaconis (Denny) and Scott Bellot ( Joey), tell their stories with a Chicago street-talk flavor as they discuss the pimps, prostitutes, thieves, a serial killer and others who cross their paths while they patrol the rough neighborhood where they grew up. Both have been passed over for promotion to detective several times, due to racist talk and other problems. Denny is married, with kids, and is proud of being a family man — although he has a side interest. Joey is a lonely bachelor who drinks too much — and has dinner with Denny and family often. A gunshot begins and ends “A Steady Rain” by Keith Huff, which premiered in Chicago in 2007 and ran a stretch of sold-out performances on Broadway in 2009, when Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig inhabited the bodies of Denny and Joey for a few months. The play is a good choice for The Edge Theater as it seeks to present “edgy” works. The initial shot shatters Denny’s living room window, injuring his youngest son and enraging Denny, who starts a hunt for the guy he suspects and heads into a tailspin of drink, drugs and bad behavior. The two make a serious error in judgment one night in the alleys — with dismissal looming for the one determined to be at fault. Tension builds. And, it rains, night after night … in a cruel world. Mature language and story would make this unsuitable for young family members, but offers much to think about — which one seeks from well-done theater.
IF YOU GO “A Steady Rain” runs through Sept. 28 at The Edge Theater, 1560 Teller St., Lakewood. (Rick Yaconis is Edge executive director and Scott Bellot is resident director.) Performances: 8 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 6 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $24, online at theedgetheater.com or 303-232-0363.

Beauty comes in all sizes, colors at ArtFest 176 artists put works on display at Castle Rock festival By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Sculptor Fredrick Prescott’s work stood above that of his counterparts at the 25th annual Colorado ArtFest Sept. 6 and 7 in Castle Rock. His outdoor animal sculptures, elephants, buffalos and flamingos literally towered over festivalgoers. “We do a life-sized elephant that weighs about 4,000 pounds,” said Prescott, who heralds from Santa Fe, N.M. “Some of the stuff we do for museums can get pretty tall. We did one that was about 12 feet.” Prescott’s metal sculptures don’t only draw attention, they move too. Each piece is kinetic, using ball bearings to rotate in the wind. “Even on the big one, the head weighs 1,200 pounds, but still sways,” Prescott said. “You can touch it with your finger and that 1,200-pound head will start moving.” The smaller sculptures he had for sale at ArtFest retail for about $9,500. The lifesized elephant runs more than $48,000. “That’s a lot of elephant,” Prescott joked. There were 176 artists with work on display at the festival, that stretched from Town Hall to the Philip S. Miller Library on Wilcox St. Not all of the work drew crowds for their impressive size, however. Darien Bogart, an artist from Pueblo West, caught the crowd’s attention with his animal and landscape paintings inspired by his time outside.
“They all start with hiking out in the woods. Getting back to nature,” Bogart said. “I take my camera and sketch pad and get as many references as I can then I go back to the studio and put it all together.” Bogart’s original work, which transforms his photo ideas collected on hikes into brightly colored paintings, retail for $1,800 and up. “There’s a lot of color out there, but I think our eyes get lazy and we don’t see it anymore,” Bogart said. “So, I try to bring out the color that’s in nature.” In its 25th year, Colorado ArtFest prides itself on being a regional draw, attracting artists and patrons from across the state and southwest. However, local artists still play a prominent role in the weekend festival. Greg Dye of Littleton came back to ArtFest seven years after his first time at the festival to display his latest work. “You know, I had a great experience coming years ago and my work was received well,” Dye said. “Now I’m doing different stuff and I wanted to come see what kind of reaction there might be.” Dye’s new work is a wet on wet oil painting technique that leaves his art with a “super thick” look. Dye said he finishes all his pantings in “two days, period.” “I don’t spend any time. I just do it. Then, I’m done. I walk away,” Dye said. Dye’s work retails for $2-3,000. He said a painting of a buffalo, one of his most recent pieces, had been drawing the most attention. “I’ve been here since 1973, so I’m sort of a semi-native. It’s all totally Colorado inspired,” Dye said.
‘Bigger, better, more special’ Taste returns 7th annual Lone Tree event is slated to return Sept. 13 and 14 at Lincoln Commons By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Twenty-five food vendors, four bands, two football games, beer, wine, a face painter, juggler and balloon artist are among the menu offerings for the 2014 Taste of Lone Tree. The 7th annual event is from noon to 6 p.m. Sept. 13 and 14 at the Lincoln Commons at RidgeGate, south of Lincoln Avenue near the Super Target store. “It’s so much bigger and better and more special than it has been,” said Donna Russell, spokeswoman for the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce that coordinates the event. “It really is a great value. I’m very excited about the potential of this event and the offerings we have for the public.” Participating restaurants on the long list include Seasons 52, Pisco Sour, LYFE, Brio, Carmine’s, It’s Brothers, Sonoma’z, the Rio and Lone Tree Grill among others. Football fans can attend the event and not miss the game too, thanks to Prudential, one of this year’s sponsors. The com-
pany is setting up a 30-foot by 40-foot tent with large-screen televisions that will act as a no-fee sports lounge, broadcasting college football Sept. 13 and pro football Sept. 14. Another large tent, dubbed the Comcast Culinary Center, will feature Top Chef and and Iron Chef American contestant Kelly Liken, who owns Vail’s Restaurant Kelly Liken. She will conduct 20-minute cooking demonstrations on the hour from 1-5 p.m. both days of the event. Another new twist for this year’s Taste is a full-pour beer and wine. Lone Tree Brewing Company will sell its award-winning craft beer for $5 per 16-ounce pour. Wines provided by Vinocopia and Chateau Liquors will be available for $7 for a 6.5-ounce pour. Children’s activities include a bubble tower, face painting, balloons, a clown and a simulated cave through which children can crawl to simulate spelunking. Tickets can be purchased at the gate. An individual ticket is $15 and can be exchanged for 10 tastings. A family pack, which can be purchased by an individual, is $45 and includes tickets for 40 tastings. Children 5 and under will be admitted at no charge. For more information, visit www.atasteoflonetree.com.

Worth the wait Horschel wins tournament at Cherry Hills, setting up PGA Tour’s playoff finale By Jim Benton
jbenton@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Billy Horschel hit his second shot on the 18th hole and then sprinted up the hill to visit the restroom. Horschel obviously had more on his mind than winning the BMW Championship at Cherry Hills Country Club, but he really didn’t have much to worry about on the tournament’s final hole. “I’m sure the whole world saw me sprint,” said Horschel. “I had to go to the bathroom and I had been holding it for way too many holes, and I just felt like, I could sort of relax and let’s just go ahead to the bathroom before I can’t go. “We knew Bubba (Watson) missed his birdie putt and we knew we had a two-shot lead. So that was huge.” Horschel, the 27-year-old Floridian, closed with a 1-under par 69 on Sept. 7 after rounds of 68, 66 and 63 for a 14-under par 266 total. He won by two shots over Watson, who had a final-round 66, in Colorado’s first PGA Tour event since 2006. The victory was worth a first-place check of $1.44 million for Horschel and 2,500 FedEx points. “This win means a lot to me,” Horschel said of his second PGA victory. “I didn’t have my great stuff and I was able to grind something out and get the victory at the end of the day.” It was a better outcome than at the Deutsche Bank Championship Sept. 1, when a bad 6-iron shot on the 18th hole dropped Horschel into a second-place tie. Watson, who struggled making putts the
entire tournament inside 12 feet, had three consecutive rounds of 66 after an openinground par 70. “I played solid all week,” said Watson. “I had a chance on the last hole to scare (Horschel), but obviously I didn’t make the putt and he played pretty solid.” Morgan Hoffmann, who shot a thirdround Cherry Hill competitive courserecord 62, had a closing 7-under-par 63 to come in third with a 269 total. Hoffman’s final two rounds marked the low 36-round total on the PGA Tour this season. “It’s funny, after the first two days, I didn’t really hit it much better on the weekend than the first two days,” said Hoffmann. “Maybe a couple bigger numbers on Thursday and Friday but obviously more putts went in on the weekend.” Sergio Garcia, the leader after two rounds, climbed to within two shots of Horschel but recorded an eight on the 555yard, par 5 17th hole. He laid up on his second shot but his approach was wide of the small green. His chip was long and went into the water. “It’s really disappointing,” said Garcia. “It’s what happens when you are not mentally sharp. If I was mentally sharp, if I was rested and really the way I was at the beginning and middle of the year, I would have talked myself into going for the green.” Garcia, Ryan Palmer, Jim Furyk and Rickie Fowler tied for fourth at 271. Garcia, who had 5-under-par 29 on the front nine, finished with a 67 despite the snowman. Palmer closed with a 71, Furyk a 66 and Fowler a 68. Palmer, the 37-year-old Texan, started strong but faltered on the back nine. He was twice a co-leader but a bogey and double bogey on the 12th and 13th holes and another bogey on 15 tarnished his start, when he birdied three of the first five holes. Rory McIlroy, the world’s No. 1 player, finished with a 66 and tied for eighth place.
Billy Horschel hits his drive off the No. 17 tee en route to a victory at Cherry Hills Country Club in the BMW Championship on Sept. 7. Photos by Chris Michlewicz The BMW Championship was the third of four tournaments in the FedEx playoffs. The Tour Championship is set for Sept. 1114 in Atlanta, with the top 30 players in the FedEx standings vying for the crown. Playoff points will be reset and the top five players will be the leading contend-
ers to win the championship. Chris Kirk, who tied for 36th at Cherry Hills, will be top-seeded in Atlanta with 2,500 points. Horschel is second with 1,500 markers and Watson third with 1,000 points. McIlroy is fourth with 750 points and Hunter Mahan fifth with 500.
Sergio Garcia smacks a drive down the 11th fairway en route to a second-round score of 64, giving him the lead for the day.

Course, Colorado meet challenge Cherry Hills draws rave reviews following BMW Championship By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Hills Country Club is a traditional, classic course with subtle greens and short yardage to tantalize professional golfers. However, the course held up well during the BMW Championship that concluded Sept. 7, and large crowds left golfers and fans wondering if the 92-year-old club could again host another prominent PGA tournament. Professional Golf Association and Western Golf Association administrators indicated that Colorado and Cherry Hills would be considered. “The course was good,” said Billy Horschel who won the BMW with a 14-under par 266. “Hopefully we can come back in the future. Hopefully there will be a regular tour (event) out here in Denver because a lot of fans came out this week and supported us. “So hopefully we can get another PGA Tour event back here because it’s a great place.” More than 125,000 fans attended the four days of the tournament — the penultimate stop in the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup playoffs — at the course in Cherry Hills Village. That impressed Rory McIlroy. “The fans and crowds were amazing all week,” he said. “It’s a beautiful area and it was a pleasure to play in front of so many people.” The BMW was the first men’s professional tournament in Colorado since the 2010 Senior PGA Championship was held at the Colorado Golf Club in Parker. The last regular Colorado stop on the PGA Tour was in 2006 at the International, which was played at Castle Pines. “It was a home run,” said Colorado Golf Association executive director Ed Mate when asked about the BMW. “It was a home run because I couldn’t image anything going any better.
“It was a record-setting event for the Western Golf Association and we haven’t seen the final figures yet. The golf course played well and the crowds were fantastic and the fact that the governor and mayor came out speaks volumes of the golf support in Colorado. The only thing I would have liked to have seen was a little more dramatic finish.” Cherry Hills hosted its 11th PGA Tour championship event and the biggest problem BMW officials faced was finding alternate parking arrangements because some lots were unavailable because of rain that soaked the area the evening of Sept. 4. Players complained a little about what they called concrete greens during the first round Sept. 4 but the rain softened the greens for the final three rounds. The three toughest holes on the course were the 247-yard, par 3 15th; the 204-yard, par 2 12th; and the 526-yard, par 4 fifth hole. McIlroy found the 12th extremely tough as he four-putted twice on the green. The 346-yard first hole was inviting for the long hitters who tried to match Arnold Palmer’s feat of driving the green in the 1960 U.S. Open with equipment and balls that didn’t measure up to the modern gear. Only 10 of the 177 golfers that tried to drive the green actually had their tee shots come to rest on the putting surface. There was just one eagle made from the group of 10 golfers. Scoring average on the par-70, 7,352yard course was 69.84 for the tournament as players adjusted quickly to the altitude, which allows the ball to carry farther than at sea level. “I don’t think it was that difficult because you just put 10 percent into your yardages and pretty much play the same numbers,” said Morgan Hoffmann, who set a competitive course record with a third-round 62 and his final-round score of 63 vaulted him into a third-place finish. “So if you trust the yardage, it’s obviously going to look a little further than the number. But if you trust it, it wasn’t a problem for most players. I don’t think they had much difficulty.”

PGA pro-am: An autograph-seeker’s heaven Fans rub elbows with their favorite players By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s a good day to be a golf fan during a PGA tournament practice round. On the Wednesday leading into the BMW Championship at Cherry Hills Country Club, players had their usual chance to become familiar with the course while amateurs had the opportunity to play alongside top tour professionals. The Sept. 3 pro-am also enabled fans, big and small, to meet their idols. And none were happier than Mikaela Walker, an 11-year-old who met her favorite player, Keegan Bradley, as he walked off the No. 4 green. Walker, who made the trip from Grand Junction with her mom, was left speechless after Bradley made brief conversation and signed her hat while she smiled uncontrollably. It was a typical scene at the pristine course, and more than half of the autograph-seekers were grown men who relished the chance to rub elbows with the PGA pros they watch on television. Corey Ard, a 42-year-old Northglenn man who describes himself as a “golf junkie,” made no attempt to mask his giddiness over the occasion: it was his first time attending a PGA event. “I’m like a kid in a candy store,” he said from a perfectly-staked-out spot that gave him a view of four different holes. Ard arrived at 7 a.m., and by 4 p.m., he had collected nearly 20 signatures, including one from Rickie Fowler scrawled on an orange hat similar to one Fowler customarily wears during final-round play. The remainder of the autographs decorated a commemorative BMW Championship flag Ard purchased in the pro shop. As a testament to his obsessiveness with the sport, one of Ard’s most prized signatures came not from a golfer, but from Fluff Cowan, the well-known caddie for Jim Furyk, with whom Ard also had a chance to chat. He also had designs on getting the flag signed by TV commentator Roger Maltbie. There is already a place on Ard’s wall where the flag will be hung, complete

Players signed autographs between holes in the Sept. 3 practice round ahead of the BMW Championship in Cherry Hills. Photos by Chris Michlewicz with a frame. “I eat, drink, sleep golf,” said Ard, who has a ticket for the final round. “I watch golf, I listen to PGA tour (radio) all the time and play as much as I can — two or three times a week.” The excitement over the PGA’s return to Denver after eight years away was palpable, with sizable crowds on what is normally a light day in terms of attendance. And because it’s a playoff tournament in which the top 70 players are battling for points, stakes are higher and the enthusiasm is that much greater. But with a practice-day atmosphere

looser than typically-serious tournament play, some of the golfers seemed to enjoy the playful banter as much as the audience. Ever the fan favorite, Phil Mickelson greeted star-struck spectators after pulling his ball to the left of the 18th fairway. One fan was brave enough to challenge “Lefty” to a $100 bet that he wouldn’t hit the green. Mickelson considered it, but declined, jok-
ingly insisting that he couldn’t bear to take a fan’s money. He then proceeded to knock the ball 12 feet from the cup and sink the birdie putt, with the bettor suddenly nowhere in sight. When Mickelson exited the course, throngs of fans waited along ropes and temporary fencing with hopes of an autograph or at least a passing fist-bump.
PGA golfer Charl Schwartzel signs an autograph for Northglenn resident Corey Ard, a die-hard fan of golf. Ard arrived at 7 a.m. and collected nearly 20 signatures throughout the pro-am round Sept. 3.

Mustangs riding high to start season Third-ranked Ponderosa takes volleyball thriller from Mountain Vista By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Ponderosa girls volleyball coach Rob Graham wasn’t surprised by what he saw in the Mustangs’ season-opening match against Mountain Vista. His third-ranked Mustangs defeated Mountain Vista, 3-2, in a Continental League match Sept. 3 in the Ponderosa gym. Mountain Vista was saddled with its second straight five-set loss of the young season. Ponderosa won the first set, 26-24, but lost the next two before rallying for a 25-11 win in set four to set up the deciding fifth set which the Mustangs won, 15-7. “Our first match was probably what I thought would happen,” Graham said. “I saw Mountain Vista play at Cherry Creek. They are a tough team, very physical and they have some great outside hitters. I knew we would come out with great energy because our girls hadn’t played a match.

Wolverines enter league play on win streak Chaparral posts 3-1 volleyball victory over Arapahoe, starts season 7-1 By Tom Munds
tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com No point came easy but Chaparral scored the needed ones to capture the win in a hotly contested Sept. 3 non-league volleyball match against Arapahoe, 3-1. “We have 10 returning letter winners from last year,” Chaparral coach T.R. Ellis said. “Our players aren’t afraid to hit the ball as you saw tonight. We play an aggressive style and hit hard. It worked well for us tonight against a very good team.” The Wolverines followed up the win over Arapahoe with a 3-2 win over Fossil Ridge Sept. 5 and a 3-1 victory at Grandview Sept. 8 to win their sixth and seventh straight after a season-opening loss to Cheyenne Mountain. Chaparral was scheduled to open league play on the road Sept. 11 at Highlands Ranch and will return home Sept. 18 against Rock Canyon. Against Arapahoe, the Wolverines found themselves down quickly after losing the first set, 25-18. The next three sets
were repeats of the first with tough battles for every point, except in those sets Chaparral came out on top. After breaking a 21-21 tie in the second set, the Wolverines closed out with a 4-1 run to even the match at a set apiece. The third set went back and forth and Arapahoe was again in position to win it, up 2220, but the Wolverines scored the final five points to win, 25-22. Chaparral then won their third set in a row, 25-20, to win the match. Close, hard-fought matches are nothing new to Ellis. She has been coaching 34 years, which includes holding the post of varsity volleyball coach at Chaparral since the school opened 18 years ago. “Tonight was a good early season challenge for us against a very good volleyball team. They had good hitters but their serving was excellent,” she said of the Warriors. Senior Natalie Passeck was among the leaders for the Wolverines, finishing with 18 kills, while taking part in numerous successful blocks as well. She said it was a tough match against a good opponent, but she is ready for league action. “We are coming together as a team,” she said. “I am happy about the win tonight and I am looking forward to the start of the (league) season.”
“The energy was there but eventually we kind of came back down. Mountain Vista made fewer mistakes and we made more mistakes in games two and three. Even though we pulled out one of those games, there were too many errors. In game four and game five we were flawless. We served tough, passed well and our offense was unstoppable. We couldn’t do anything wrong.” Senior outside hitter Ellise Lech and junior outside hitter Allison Smith sparked the Mustangs in the fourth and fifth sets. Lech had 17 kills in the match, a 45.9 kill percentage, .324 hitting percentage, two aces and five blocks. Smith finished with 21 kills, a .314 hitting percentage, 41.2 kill percentage, 17 digs and three aces. Senior libero Emily Banks tied Smith with 17 digs. “After battling so many sets and being so close, it was just a spark of energy,” Lech said of the comeback. “I played better because I wanted it for my team. This is a big season for us and coming out with our first win was really nice. “We weren’t as worried as we probably should have been. The match was tight but I was confident. We were a little Volleyball continues on Page 28

Football recap Lutheran, Colorado’s No. 1 team in the CHSAANow. Com Class 3A rankings, ran its record to 2-0 on Sept. 5 with a 52-7 romp over Frederick. Quarterback James Willis completed 15 of 24 passes for 346 yards and three touchdowns in the victory. Joshua Clausen caught eight of the passes from Willis for 129 yards and a TD. Michael Tombre hauled in a 17-yard touchdown pass from Marc Muma for Legend’s lone touchdown in a 20-7 loss to Rocky Mountain in a Sept. 4 contest. Cherry Creek, No. 2 in the Class 5A poll, dropped a 3028 decision to No. 4 Pomona. Both teams are now 1-1 for the season.

shaken but it was our first match. It was the drive to win. We all wanted to win real bad. … it was minimal errors and go for everything.” Graham acknowledged that Lech, who dominated early in the fifth set, and Smith were the key contributors in the fifth set. “I called them in after game four,” said Graham. “It was 25-11 in Game four and all I said was five is more fun than four. I didn’t want them to think about anything but just going out and winning game five. There was no different strategy. “Ellise and Allison on the outside were huge. Our offense started off very balanced with a lot of girls contributing but in the end it was our two outside hitters and our setter Becca Page finding our two outside hitters. We learned something when we played five.” First-year Mountain Vista coach Mary Millman also saw her team lose in five sets Aug. 26 to Cherry Creek, ranked fourth in the Class 5A poll but is convinced the Golden Eagles will be a team to contend with in the Continental League. “We lost to two top-ranked teams in the state so I’m confident in what we have and what we are doing,” she said. “… Obviously not happy with the outcome but I am happy with how we played, our effort and our fight.” Ponderosa followed its win over Vista with a 3-0 conquest of Cherokee Trail Sept. 4. Lech led the Mustangs against Cherokee Trail with 16 kills, a .250 hitting percentage, 50 percent kill percentage, 10 digs and two blocks. Ponderosa was slated to play Rock Canyon Sept. 8, Rampart on Sept. 9, and Douglas County Sept. 11. Despite a busy schedule Graham helped to organize a fundraiser for former ThunderRidge volleyball coach Kiersta Paul to help the family with medical expenses following an accident that Paul was in. Paul resigned as coach after last season and is currently the ThunderRidge athletic secretary. Graham asked other Continental League coaches to donate proceeds from their schools opening night matches to the fund. Castle View, Douglas County, Rock Canyon and Legend all joined Ponderosa in donating.

From the pitch Ponderosa, the state’s No. 6 Class 3A soccer team, won three games to improve to 5-1-0. The Mustangs, led by the scoring of Thomas Green and David Patterson, blanked Pueblo County 5-0 on Sept. 2, shutout Denver West, 1-0 Sept. 4, and edged Lakewood, 2-1 on Sept. 5. Castle View, 2-0-1, remained unbeaten with a 3-2 overtime win over Gateway Sept. 4 as the Sabercats tuned up for a Sept. 9 match against Ponderosa. Arapahoe lost its first two games this season but won three games in the Arapahoe Warrior Invitational Tournament. The Warriors beat Rampart, 3-1, in the title game on Sept. 6. Mike Chism had a goal and two assists and junior defender Max Gueller led an Arapahoe defense that limited Rampart’s aggressive offense to nine shots. Cherry Creek (1-1-1) notched a 3-2 win over Adams City Sept. 3 and tied Boulder 1-1 on Sept. 6. Junior Arman Akbarzadeh had two goals and an assist in the win over Adams City and scored the Bruins’ lone goal against Boulder.

Flag football: Whistles whip Wolverines Chaparral miscues lead to loss in the rain against Bear Creek By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com The steady rain wasn’t the only thing falling Sept. 4 at Sports Authority Stadium. A rash of penalty flags that fell against Chaparral, especially in the first half, dampened any hopes of a victory in a 19-7 non-league loss to Bear Creek. Chaparral is now winless in its first two games under new head coach Rod Dobbs, and the Wolverines hope to get Dobbs his first win with the school Sept. 13 against Mountain Vista at Shea Stadium. The team’s game against Bear Creek started 45 minutes late because of a lighting delay that stopped an earlier soccer game. Rain started early in the football game and didn’t let up but that wasn’t the reason that Chaparral lost. “Penalties were the difference,” said Doyle after his team outgained Bear Creek, 236-193, in total offense on the rainy night in Parker. After falling behind 6-0, Chaparral’s offense moved to Bear Creek’s 10-yard line but a holding and false start penalty
eventually forced the Wolverines’ Ford Edwards to attempt a 26-yard field goal, which was blocked. On its next possession, Chaparral had a first down at the Bears’ 9-yard line and senior quarterback Kyle Gallup ran to the 2-yard line, but a holding penalty wiped out the gain and the Wolverines turned the ball over on downs at the 6-yard line. Chaparral later used a 19-yard run by Mitch Ross on a fake punt to set up another scoring opportunity. Another run by Ross went to the Bears’ 15-yard line for a first down but a penalty for too many men on the field nullified the play and the drive was stopped with an interception. Bear Creek went ahead 13-0 with 17 seconds left in the first half after a 45yard drive that was aided by personal foul and offside calls against Chaparral. The offside flag fell on a fourth-andthree play from the 8-yard line. “We shot ourselves in the foot,” said Gallup. “That was the reason we lost the game.” Chaparral did overcome another holding call on a 51-yard touchdown drive which sliced the Bear Creek lead to 13-7 with 3:39 left in the third quarter after Gallup hit basketball standout Chris Moody with an 18-yard touchdown pass. Bear Creek responded by mounting an 80-yard scoring drive against a weary
Wolverines defense to swell its winning margin to 19-7 with 10:58 remaining in the game. “We have a lot of talent of this team and there is a lot we can do,” said Gallup. “We beat ourselves. We get inside the 20 and we get a holding (call). We had some issues on defense but we’re going to come together this week as a team and clean it up.” Gallup, who addressed the team when they gathered on the field after the game, is confident the Wolverines will rebound. “We need to pick it up for the rest of the season,” he said. “We did improve from the first game (a 46-13 loss to Grandview). The first game was tough against Grandview. They are an awesome
team. The first half we came out and played real well. We got down on ourselves in the second half. “We came against Bear Creek and played fairly well. We moved the ball, we stopped them on D, and we just couldn’t punch it in once we got inside the 20.” Gallup finished 11-21-1 for 158 yards passing and ran for another 41 yards. Austin Cavaliere rushed for 105 yards on 20 carries to lead the Wolverines ground game. Sophomore Patrick Moody had 13 total tackles to pace the Chaparral defense, which wound up with six sacks. Junior linebacker Dawson Cranmer had three sacks, Patrick Moody two and Ross one.
