Parents who lose a child not alone Parker-based foundation provides support, memorial events By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Corinne O’Flynn knows all too well that the grief of losing a child is unfathomable to those who haven’t experienced it. O’Flynn felt “isolated” after losing her daughter Rowan, who was born in December 1999 and passed away one day later from complications related to trisomy 18, a condition caused by an error in cell division. The Parker resident lost the ability to connect with people or enjoy activities she once loved. Nothing mattered in the same way. She recalled feeling like she had noth-
ing to lose when her friend signed her up for a therapy session with others who had lost children. O’Flynn admittedly wasn’t the “support group-type,” but it was during those first sessions that she realized she had stopped really talking to her husband. “The isolation is huge,” she says. “It overwhelms all other feelings.” None of the pre-natal tests indicated that anything was wrong, and the lack of online information about trisomy 18 at that time made things ever harder to comprehend. Through chat forums, O’Flynn met other parents who had lost children to the condition and started an online support organization. It was an immense success, and in 2005, O’Flynn realized she was reaching only “one small segment of the population of grieving parents.” Parents continues on Page 9

20 families, 20 stories of struggle Douglas/Elbert Task Force is crucial safety net By Virginia Grantier
vgrantier@ourcoloradonews. com It’s in an industrial park on Park Street in Castle Rock — past storage units and a gun shop, and various other shops, in one of those nondescript rectangular buildings, where every day 20 or more families come to get help — many for food, clothing, money so utilities aren’t turned off, so rent can be paid. Jenny Follmer, the client service manager at the Douglas/ Elbert Task Force, 1638 Park St., usually stops at 20 families, a task force rule. The 21st person wanting to sign up to get help is asked to come back the next morning. But it’s the holidays. “We’re so swamped,” said Follmer, sitting behind a desk that has on it the day’s stack of file folders with 20 families’ paperwork in them.
So even though she’s seen 20 this day, she’s still trying to help three or four more and has calls out to churches and others to see if help is out there — for the family whose electricity has been turned off and the family with seven children whose house has been foreclosed on and they’re being evicted in a couple of days. Follmer, who has degrees in marketing and Spanish, volunteered here for four years, and liked helping people, so she took a job with the agency more than two years ago, trying to help some more. Sometimes she can, sometimes it’s tough. This day was some of both. And she goes back through them all. She opens up the first file folder: First family: A Castle Rock family, renters, mom, fiancé and three kids. The utilities have been turned off. Both adults are in school and have part-time jobs. They have food stamps, but they can’t buy some things with them — toilet paper, toothpaste, diapers. They need help getting their utilities
back on and they need food. Families can get food every 30 days from the task force, and the amount depends on how many people. This family of five leaves with 146 pounds of food, lots of canned goods from the food bank. Food stamps often are used to buy fresh produce. Like all the other families that day, they’re offered a turkey. All but one family takes one. “They’re desperate for protein,” Follmer said. Second family: A Highlands Ranch family, renters, two adults and two kids. Never been here before. Wife lost job and has filed for unemployment. Husband has a new job but doesn’t get paid until the end of December. They have two disconnect notices and need help with their December rent, utilities and need food. Third family: A Douglas County woman on disability, renter. Her ex-husband came back to Colorado with their three kids and then Struggle continues on Page 9
Douglas County Federation President Brenda Smith is resigning after leading the local teachers union for seven years, the last two of which were rocked with tumult when the group’s long-standing relationship with the school district crumbled. Smith starts her new position as the Cherry Creek School District’s director of educator effectiveness Jan. 1. The union’s 47-year collective-bargaining agreement with the school district expired in June 2012 after hours of sometimes-heated negotiations. Smith and a team of union board members and teachers led the 100-hour-plus process. In a Dec. 4 letter emailed to union members, Smith said she struggled with the decision but couldn’t walk away from a chance to again work in a school district. She was an elementary school teacher before taking a position with the union. “Our strength has always been in our active membership, and this will remain no matter who is elected into office,” Smith wrote in her letter to members. “Although I’ll be stepping down as president, I will continue to fight as a parent with three children in our schools and as a member of the Douglas County community.” She declined further comment. DCF Vice President Courtney Smith would not speculate on whether she will be the new president. “The process will go through the executive board, and that will be done in the next few days,” she said. “Brenda devoted many years to the employees and students of DCSD. That level of dedication will remain and the DCF will continue to work to benefit students, classrooms and our members.” Courtney Smith said the union continues its work, despite the outcome of the Nov. 5 election that saw the election of four reform-minded board members. The sevenmember board is unlikely to renew any relationship with the union. “We have not gone away because of the election,” Courtney Smith said. “In fact, because of the election, membership and access to legal representation for employees is more important now than ever before. I think we’re busier than ever answering questions and representing employees.” About 60 percent of DCSD’s teachers belong to the union, according to Courtney Smith. School board president Kevin Larsen had little comment about the change. “It’s like we’ve had a divorce,” he said. “We’ve moved on. We don’t want to focus on our ex — in this case the union entity. It doesn’t help us get where we need to go. “I wish Brenda well in whatever she wants to do.”

Surveyor loses court battle Judge rules that duties are up to county commissioners By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com The Douglas County commissioners recently won a district court case involving the county’s elected surveyor, Dale Hamilton. As reported in an August story published by Colorado Community Media, the two sides had been tied up in litigation since February 2012, when the commissioners took the surveyor to court 13 months after he took office, stating that he was not performing the duties of his office, as outlined by the county. “It’s an unfortunate turn of events that the commissioners have to turn around and sue another elected official to do his job the way everybody except Mr. Hamilton thinks he should do his job,” said former Morgan County attorney George Monsson — who represented the commissioners in the case — at the time. Multiple issues were at stake in the lawsuit, most notably, as Hamilton says, the county’s refusal to replace thousands of witness corners and survey monuments that had been destroyed in Highlands Ranch during sidewalk replacement projects in 2005 and 2007, an issue he brought forward to the commissioners after taking office. Ironically, Hamilton, who has been a surveyor for 51 years, once won a Colorado Supreme Court case helping to establish a law that states it is illegal to destroy
survey monuments — which help to identify where property lines exist — and not have them properly and professionally replaced. When Hamilton pointed to that law, he was told by the commissioners he would have to bid for the work, and after multiple bids for the work and a request for funds to inspect other neighborhoods for potential missing corners, he was informed that there was no budget to replace the corners and it was not his job to inspect plats for compliance, but only to settle disputes the county called on him to settle. “The real dispute (was) how you read the statutes and what Mr. Hamilton wants to do and how he wants to change them,” said Monsonn, a former surveyor himself. “After numerous disagreements, the county made the decision to sue to have the judge properly interpret the statutes.” Judge Paul King, who denied Hamilton’s request for a jury trial, ruled from the bench on the side of the commissioners, stating that “the final authority for determining discretionary duties of the (surveyor) rests solely with the board and the (surveyor) is precluded from assuming any duties not expressly authorized by the board.” Hamilton was told by King in the October ruling that the board was “under no obligation to provide a budget for (the surveyor)” and that he “has no authority to independently assert disputed section and quarter section corners.” According to state statute, “the county surveyor is responsible for any surveying duties 10.25 in. pertaining to the county and for settling boundary disputes when
directed by a court or when requested by interested parties. The county surveyor establishes the boundaries of county property, including road rights-of-way, and supervises construction surveys that impact the county. County surveyors also create survey markers and monuments, and conduct surveys relating to toll roads and reservoirs.” “The commissioners, with the blessings of the court, have effectively closed the door to the surveyor’s office,” said Hamilton, adding that he will not run for re-election in 2014. “After a year and a half of litigation, and a cost to me (personally) in excess of $35,000, I’m out of business.” Hamilton, who earns $5,500 annually to perform his duties as surveyor, ran for office with the intention of establishing a physical office in Castle Rock and ramping up the duties of the county surveyor in accordance with his understanding of state statute. And while he says he is unable to perform his duties without a budget, the county commissioners expect him to continue to work as others have done before him. “With the judge’s clarifying ruling, we anticipate that Mr. Hamilton will now perform the job he has been elected to do, just as all predecessor elected surveyors in Douglas County have done consistently, based on the same existing statutes,” said a written statement on behalf of the commissioners, issued by spokeswoman Wendy Holmes. Hamilton said the ruling prevents him from following any of the duties outlined in the statute, however, and that with a lack of budget to run his office — which is operated out of his Larkspur
Douglas County Surveyor Dale Hamilton lost his legal battle with the county over what he felt his elected position entails vs. what the county says it does. Hamilton still says that he is unable to perform his duties without an office or a budget. File photo home — his hands are tied. “We got started on the wrong foot,” Hamilton said. “I showed them within a month where they broke the law and they didn’t like it. There are places where they are breaking federal law right now, but who is going to do anything about it?

Chamber chief fits right in Dennis Houston talks vision, collaboration By Chris Michlewicz

SUPPORT
For some people, getting to know the way around town is as easy as a few handshakes. Dennis Houston appears to be one of those people. After just a few days on the job as the Parker Chamber of Commerce’s new president and CEO, Houston is already making a name for himself. His stops at various committee and council meetings have been welcomed, and he made the most of his first impression on the chamber’s cornerstone members during a Dec. 9 luncheon at Maggiano’s, introducing some of his goals and talking of a desire to dig into the details sooner rather than later. Houston, who left a position as head of the Norfolk, Neb., chamber to come to Parker, said he wants to find out what’s broken in the business community and collectively find ways to fix the issues. Hearing directly from business owners in Parker will help Houston determine the type of “return on investment” they are seeking out of the chamber, he said. Houston got a head-start on establishing one-on-one relationships with leaders
in the Town of Parker, and even met with a few town council members before officially being hired by the chamber. Councilmember Debbie Lewis described Houston’s enthusiastic approach as “refreshing.” The new president also received accolades at the luncheon for visiting and showing an interest in an East Mainstreet business leads group, and quickly addressing issues that have been lingering at the chamber in the absence of a director. He told the group that he plans to work 60-70 hour weeks and will be a consistent presence at meetings for various organizations. Despite being new and having to learn the many ins and outs of the local business community, Houston touted the benefits of having a fresh perspective, saying he is coming in with “no baggage” or preconceived notions about anyone in town. “I’m walking into everything with a very open mind,” he said. On his sixth day as president, Houston said he was getting a feel for the town and is excited to have met so many people who enjoy living in Parker. He is eager to share positive attributes with those outside the town’s boundaries. “Parker has a great story to tell,” he said. Chamber directors are now working on the 2014 budget and will have a more concrete vision going forward after a January board retreat.

Arrest made in pet-door burglary 20-year-old female caught by homeowner By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com After multiple Highlands Ranch residents reported being victimized by someone breaking into their homes through pet doors in the middle of the night this fall, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has taken a suspect into custody, where she remains on a $50,000 bond. Mackenzie Mavis, 20, was arrested in connection with a Nov. 29 burglary in which she allegedly awakened the sleeping victim while inside the home. Mavis reportedly fled from the residence on foot, but the homeowner gave chase and detained her until law enforcement arrived. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is recommending that Mavis be charged with felony second-degree burglary, felony crimes against an at-risk adult, misdemeanor theft and criminal mischief. According to a news release from the DCSO, the investigation is ongoing and there is no further information available at this time.
Colorado Community Media previously reported on five pet-door break-ins occurring between Oct. 18 and early November. According to Sheriff’s Deputy Chad Teller, the burglar, or group of burglars, spent a short time in each home, grabbing small things of value like iPads and cell phones before fleeing. In addition to his concern for the victims, Teller said he was also afraid for Mavis those who were committing the acts. “They have no fear,” he said. “They’re going through a pet door and don’t know what kind of pet is in that home. These aren’t small pet doors. They’re a pretty decent size. “Douglas County is a very conservative county and there are a lot of gun owners. That’s another risk that they’re taking when they enter these homes. They don’t know what they’re going to encounter on the other side.” Anyone with information, or who may have been a victim of one of the pet-door break-ins, is asked to contact the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office at 303-660-7500.
Hunting guide pleads guilty to tax evasion Parker man failed to pay taxes from 2004 to 2009 Staff Report A Parker man faces prison after pleading guilty to tax evasion charges. Richard K. Sears, 65, of Parker, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Court Chief Judge Marcia S. Krieger Dec. 9 to three counts of failing to file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service. Sears, who is free on bond, is scheduled to be sentenced by Krieger in March. IRS Special Agents and Investigators with the Colorado Parks and Wildlife executed a search warrant on his Parker home in July 2010 and Sears was charged this April. According to the plea agreement, from 2004 through 2009, Sears owned and operated several businesses including Apache Park Land & Cattle, Inc., Trophy Outfitters, Inc., Private Land Bucks and Bulls, Inc. and Apache Park Livestock, Inc. Sears’ hunting businesses operated in Colorado and New Mexico and he solicited customers to travel to the two states to hunt big game, such as elk, deer, and bear. The cost of hunting packages ranged from approximately $2,000 to $10,000. His other business was a livestock business in Colorado. From 2004 to 2009, Sears received significant gross income from his businesses for which he failed to file income tax returns, earning roughly $1 million.
In July 1997, Sears purchased property in Parker to build a home for his family. According to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the property was purchased in his wife’s name in an attempt to hinder IRS collection efforts, as he was aware of back taxes he owed. The IRS assessed taxes against Sears several times during 1991 through 1993 and was unsuccessful in collecting over $37,000 in taxes plus interest and penalties. The IRS then filed tax liens against Sears for the money he owed. Once the tax liens expired in 2007, Sears executed a quitclaim deed transferring ownership of the property into his name. “Ignoring and circumventing tax obligations only results in a kind of `double trouble:’ Not only will the tax bill eventually come due with interest and penalties, but there is also the possibility of jail time and a criminal conviction,” U.S. Attorney John Walsh said. Each count of willful failure to file a tax return with the IRS carries a penalty of up to one year in prison and up to $100,000 in fines. “Income tax fraud is based on greed, individuals who commit tax fraud are merely stealing money and creating an unfair tax burden on honest tax paying citizens,” said Stephen Boyd, special agent in charge for the IRS Criminal Investigation office in Denver. The case was investigated by the IRS with assistance from Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Vision outlined for Lone Tree Business coordinator talks future for growing city
SPORTSMAN + HUNTER GUN SHOWS Castle Rock, CO
DECEMBER 21ST - 22ND SAT 9-5 • SUN 10-4
By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com When Torie Brazitis looked out over the weeds and high grasses on the vacant land southeast of Interstate 25, she saw her future. “As soon as I drove over the east side, I thought, `I have to take this position’,” said the city’s first fulltime business development coordinator. For Brazitis, the east side offers acres of opportunity, the chance to help shape a community that — despite its presence in the metro area — is only about one-quarter grown. About 11,000 people now live in Lone Tree, all of them on the mostly developed area west of I-25. When development is complete on the four square miles east of the highway, projections show the city will be home to about 40,000. Brazitis presented a road map for that future to the Lone Tree City Council earlier this month, outlining eight areas of focus to help guide the city’s development. “Lone tree is really a location of choice, both nationally and in the metro area,” said Brazitis, who joined the city staff in April. “We have so many great opportunities and a variety of feathers in our cap we’ve gotten recently that really attract attention. Brazitis, who has a master’s degree in public administration, is spring boarding from the job previously held by City Manager Seth Hoffman. Hoffman managed both economic development and assistant city manager

Hoffman helped negotiate with the Charles Schwab corporation, now building a campus in the city, and Cabela’s, which opened its RidgeGate Parkway store in August. “When companies like Charles Schwab or Cabela’s choose to join a community, it’s a sign to other businesses this is a good place to locate,” Brazitis said. But drawing new business is only part of the equation, she said. Her plan includes caring for existing businesses, developing transit and keeping up with social media. “Economic development really stretches across a lot of different areas,” Brazitis said. At the top of her 2014 priority list is a stronger push toward completion of light rail’s southeast extension from Lincoln Avenue to RidgeGate Parkway. The list also includes retention and
stewardship of existing businesses, and encouragement for home-based businesses and entrepreneurs. Brazitis is also focused on the more traditional aspects of economic development like recruitment and development of new business and companies. “Companies who really prize community and quality-of-life really like us,” she said. “They really feel like locating in Lone Tree is joining a community.” Lone Tree’s staff also works to stay “ahead of the curve,” Brazitis said. “If there’s legislation at the Capitol that would impact our businesses, we’re keeping an eye out for that,” she said. “We’re thinking about changes in the retail environment, business needs for development, being an ombudsman for businesses. “We are always working toward continuous improvement, always giving a little bit better service.”

Help during the holidays, and beyond Almost 13 percent of Coloradans live below the poverty level, according to the most recent figures from the U.S. Census Bureau. That’s better than the national rate of more than 14 percent, but it’s still much too high. This time of year, the thought of families not being able to put food on the table — much less purchase holiday gifts — can be particularly disturbing. Maybe it should be equally as unsettling year round, but during a season of joy, and often excess, for so many, the plight of the poor stands out as a cruel contrast. Fortunately, there are avenues to help. For example, Dec. 10 was Colorado Gives Day, the annual push to raise money for nonprofits, many of which help the poor. More than $15.4 million was raised in
our view 2012, and we hope an even bigger haul was brought in this year. One of the many nonprofits helped by the effort was the Douglas/Elbert Task Force. The Castle Rock-based organization exists to provide basic necessities, like food and rent assistance, to residents of Douglas and Elbert counties in need. We applaud them for their year-round work. Recently, we were given rare insight into the plight of some of those who sought help from the task force. Colorado Community Media reporter Virginia

Get a haircut to get ahead Would you rather be alone, or not be alone but with one condition: You have to spend your time in bad company? Many of us would rather have companionship in a red-flag relationship, than have no relationship at all. I am not one of them. I currently have a five-year lease with Jennifer, but I spend most of my time in splendid isolation. (Jennifer lives somewhere else, with two of her three children, which is good for me. One of them needs to be driven to soccer, somewhere, on the hour. The other one would eat drywall if it had sauce on it. The kid will eat anything, and he is as skinny as a fishing rod.) Newspapers, magazines and television programs are filled with advice about hooking up with someone. I don’t think any of it really works. It’s all luck. Dating is as easy as pie. Anyone — anyone — can find someone to go out with once. The trick is to find someone you want to go out with twice, or who wants to go out with you twice. My best advice is simple. Get a haircut. Just about everyone needs a haircut. For one thing, this isn’t the Summer of Love. Please tell me what you think about this project of mine. There’s a very friendly woman who works in my grocery store. She stacks her hair like an undecided bird’s nest. The first time I saw her, I thought she had overslept, and just piled it up for the day. She piles it up every day. She needs someone to hairnap her, put her in the back of a car and take her to the nearest barbershop. This is what I am asking: Should I keep my mouth shut, or say something?
Grantier spent some time with the task force’s client service manager, Jenny Follmer. Grantier’s article, which appears this week in several Colorado Community Media publications as well as online, illustrates the very real stories of the less fortunate in a way statistics simply can’t. The two went over the files of 20 individuals and families who sought assistance on one day, and the article summarizes the needs of each applicant. It is as personal as it gets without names and faces. Even in the suburbs, this could be your neighbor, a friend in need. A small sampling: • “A Douglas County woman on disability, renter. Her ex-husband came back to Colorado with their three kids and then he left, and left the kids with her. She has
Broken records have a benefit Now I am not referring to breaking records like the most touchdowns thrown in a season, home runs hit in a career, or breaking the 3.43-minute mile. Nor am I referring to breaking other records recognized by Guinness World Records. The only record or recording that you may actually want to break is if I were to personally record a song, as I couldn’t carry a tune if it were strapped to my back. There would be true benefit to breaking that record for sure. You know the expression, “you sound like a broken record,” right? Well I am here to share with you that there are real benefits to sounding like a broken record. But then again there is the danger of being that broken record so often it begins to sound like a scratched record, nagging, and maybe even like nails on a chalkboard. We have to find the balance. For now, let’s focus on the benefits, sound fair? In many of my columns I focus on some consistent themes, words, or concepts and most if not all are characterized by a foundation of positive and encouraging intent. Some may say, and actually have accused me of sounding like a broken record when it comes to my constant promotion of showing gratitude, developing self-confidence, living with hope, the importance of staying positive, being optimistic, setting goals, and focusing on building winning relationships. Can I say thank you Zig Ziglar one more time? What we need to remember is that common sense is not always common practice, and that repetition holds its place as the “mother of learning,” the “father of success,” and even “the mother of skill.” So you see, there are many benefits to being a

Did your cat get into it?” I might say, “An attractive woman like you could use a more subtle hairstyle. Maybe one that didn’t look like you comb it with a blender.” No, that’s no good either. I’ll work on it. I have made arrangements to pay someone to cut her hair. I wonder if Bird’s Nest would be offended, or if she would be pleased that someone noticed and cared. Jennifer and I like to go to the airport and watch people, and keep track of haircuts - who needs one and who doesn’t. We have done this a number of times, and we have determined that 37 percent of the population at DIA needs a haircut. We are not the Rightful Arbiters. No one appointed us. But if someone is constantly swiping their hair, to get it out of their eyes, it’s an easy call: Get a haircut. If you still look like one of Dexys Midnight Runners, get a haircut.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Schools should solve problems
I see the weekly whining about the school board has spanned more than two elections now. Some advice for the losers. Whining doesn’t sell. In this conservative county, attacks on accountability and school choice don’t sell. Neither do big tax increases for unspecified use by administrators whose performance is flat-at-best. Try selling a vision of better children and the plans to achieve that vision within the budget.

Ruling on campaign allegations pending School board candidate’s case against district now in judge’s hands By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com A Denver judge will rule later this month whether the Douglas County School District violated the Colorado Fair Campaign Act. Judge Hollyce Farrell’s Dec. 10 announcement concluded nearly two days of testimony stemming from former school board candidate Julie Keim’s allegation against DCSD. The hearings, held Dec. 2 and 10 at the downtown Denver Office of Administrative Courts, focused on district officials’ actions leading up to the hotly contested Nov. 5 school board election. Highlighting the Dec. 10 testimony, Keim’s attorney introduced an email intended to discredit witness Franceen Thompson, and DCSD’s legal counsel Robert Ross deflected a question citing attorney/client privilege. Keim, who failed in her bid to win a seat on the school board in November’s election, filed her complaint in mid-October after several incidents aroused her suspicion that the district was attempting to influence the
election outcome. Most notable among her concerns: The public release weeks before the election of two paid, pro-district papers — initially presented by DCSD as independent evaluations — written by the American Enterprise Institute’s Rick Hess and former U.S. Secretary of Education Bill Bennett. In September, Bennett also gave a public speech on the issue in Lone Tree. Keim’s complaint also alleges district leaders attempted to hamper the Keim distribution of challenger candidates’ campaign materials, promoted one-sided candidate events and gave candidates unequal access to information. Four candidates who support the board’s recent reform efforts, including two incumbents, were elected Nov. 5 and recently took seats on the board. Keim was among a slate of four who wanted to take the district in a different direction. Most of the testimony presented Dec. 10 was directed by attorney Jason Dunn, hired by DCSD for the case. Dunn’s witnesses included Ross, Thompson, a parent who helped lead the reform slate’s campaign, district security staff and two principals. Ross said the district stayed neutral during the campaign, explaining, “The mantra is the district staff is Switzerland when it
comes to school board elections.” He testified he found no evidence to support Keim’s concern that board members planned to conduct an audit on her based on a 2011 school fundraiser coordinated through the Douglas County Educational Foundation (DCEF). Keim raised the concern after board member Justin Williams allegedly wrote a fall 2013 Facebook post suggesting an audit was imminent. Under questioning from Keim’s attorney, Craig Joyce, Ross acknowledged board member Doug Benevento, recently re-elected to his post, is also a DCEF board member and probably had access to the nonprofit fundraising organization’s financial records. Williams, however, was unlikely to have such access, Ross acknowledged. When Joyce asked if Ross knew Williams obtained the information about Keim’s financial exchange with the DCEF, Ross paused. “I don’t know that I can discuss this further without violating attorney/client privilege,” he said. Judge Farrell agreed he was within his rights. Thompson, a volunteer with the pro-reform campaign group DougCo Champions for Kids, also stumbled under questioning from Joyce after denying attempts to link the word “reform” to board-friendly candidates. Saying he was offering it for impeach-
Colorado’s Energy Resources Advanced at Colorado - Texas Energy Day in Houston Colorado has a rich and varied history in the extraction of natural resources. Fossil fuels are a natural resource which have recently seen a huge increase in development throughout the state due to advances in technology and increased global demand. At the forefront of this new mineral wealth is the production of shale oil available through new horizontal drilling and fracturing technologies. In November, the Houston chapter of the American Petroleum Institute (API) paid homage to Colorado as a key state for future oil & gas production and the South Metro Denver Chamber played a major role in the proceedings. Colorado - Texas Energy Day at the Petroleum Club of Houston included oil & gas vendor exhibits, an oil & gas executive roundtable, and the API luncheon moderated by Chamber President and CEO John Brackney with over 300 oil & gas executives present, including a contingent of South Metro Denver Chamber leaders. Sponsored by CAP Logistics, the Chamber delegation included Jacob Lorenz (Risk and Chance), Jim McGrath (Studley), Tom Wood (Willbros Construction), Torie Brazitis (City of Lone Tree), Howard Dieter (Rettew Associates), Dan Killeen (RK Mechanical), Andrew Casper (Colorado Oil and Gas Association), Jason Hallmark (Hallmark Photos), Patty Rodvold (WhippleWood CPAs), Gayle Dendinger (CAP Logistics), Emily Haggstrom (CAP Logistics), John Boner (CAP Logistics), Detlev Simonis (CAP Logistics), and Nancy Vorderstrass (CAP Logistics), Jeff Holwell (COO, South Metro Denver Chamber), John Brackney (President and CEO, South Metro Denver Chamber) and Colleen Schwake (South Metro Denver Chamber). Keynote speakers for the luncheon were Bob Fryklund, Chief Upstream Strategist for IHS and Jerry Eumont, Managing Director-Consulting, Energy & Natural Resources for IHS. Fryklund spoke on Colorado’s Energy, an Unconventional Renaissance, and Eumont spoke on the continued leadership of Texas in the industry. Throughout the day, the Colorado delegation met with several local oil & gas executives allowing them to focus on the state’s future in energy production. “This event was a great opportunity for the Chamber to showcase Colorado and a major South Metro Denver employer to the oil & gas

We were honored to be leading this effort in promoting our state to such an influential audience,” said Chamber COO and Director of Economic Development, Jeff Holwell. “Our CEO John Brackney and board member Gayle Dendinger of CAP Logistics were able to advocate on behalf of Colorado as a place to do business. Despite the politics of oil & gas fracturing, we are a strong energy state and we are open for business.” “Colorado has the opportunity to become a major player in the oil shale revolution and it will become an important economic driver for the state. The Chamber is honored to continue our collaboration with the energy industry. We will persist in our recruitment and advocacy and build Colorado’s energy portfolio including fossil fuels and renewable energy.”
MSU Denver Establishes Dual Enrollment Nursing Partnership with Community Colleges In an effort to establish new cost-effective education alternatives for Colorado nursing students, Metropolitan State University of Denver has partnered with Arapahoe Community College (ACC) and Front Range Community College (FRCC) to offer a dual-enrollment option that enables students to graduate in four years with a bachelor of science degree in nursing (BSN). “Employers are showing a hiring preference for graduates who have a BSN degree,” says Linda Stroup, associate chair of the MSU Denver Department of Nursing. “This initiative provides students with one of the most efficient and cost-effective pathways in the metro area for securing a bachelor’s degree in nursing.” In 2010, the Institute of Medicine issued a report recommending that the proportion of nurses with baccalaureate degrees increase from 50 to 80 percent by 2020. Based on projected nursing retirements and current graduation rates from Colorado universities, there is work to be done to address that goal, Stroup says. The RN-BSN dual-enrollment initiative will allow students to complete certain BSN elective credits at MSU Denver while finishing the required prerequisite courses from the nursing programs at their designated home school―ACC or FRCC. Once students complete their associate degrees in nursing and have accumulated 79 combined prerequisite credits, they will transition to MSU Denver to complete their BSN coursework. “We are excited about the partnership with MSU Denver and the pathway we are creating for ACC nursing students to achieve a BSN degree,” says Geri Rush, ACC director of nursing. “South metro area hospitals such as Sky Ridge Medical Center and Littleton Adventist Hospital have expressed great enthusiasm for the program and potential for clinical placements in these hospitals.” One unique advantage of the dual-enrollment program is the ability for students to secure financial aid toward classes taken at both the community college and MSU Denver. The home school will disburse financial aid for both institutions simultaneously. Previously under other similar arrangements, federal financial aid rules dictated aid could be applied only to a student’s home school coursework.
ment purposes, Joyce submitted a September email between Thompson and fellow Douglas County Republican Ken Riley in which Thompson wrote that “reforms poll well,” and “tying the reforms to the candidates/board is helpful.” Thompson acknowledged she had written the email. During closing arguments. Joyce said the district made indirect contributions that benefited the reform slate’s campaigns, while Dunn said no evidence exists to support that claim. Joyce pointed to “a pattern of behavior” evidenced through “curious timing and fortuitous coincidences which we don’t think are coincidences. “There’s a lot of smoke here and a few flames of fire have come through that smoke,” he said. Dunn countered by saying the Hess and Bennett papers for which the district and foundation paid did not constitute any wrongdoing. “A school district has an obligation to communicate with taxpayers about what they’re doing and the direction the school district is going,” he said. “They simply provided no evidence of intent to help specific candidates for the school board.” He also said proof of a violation of state statute “must be concrete,” which according to him, Joyce didn’t provide.
“This creates a seamless transfer for our students, especially those on financial aid,” said Sandy Veltri, FRCC associate vice president for student and academic services. “Together with our current associateto-bachelor’s degree partnership with MSU Denver, this new initiative creates even more opportunities for students.” “There is a national focus to help students better ensure academic credit transfers and we want to give students as many options as possible to obtain their degree in an efficient and cost-effective manner,” says Eric Dunker, MSU Denver Extended Campus director. “We have more than 100 courses to meet BSN general studies requirements, with classes available at multiple campuses, online or hybrid alternatives to meet each student’s needs.” MSU Denver will provide students with academic advisors to help them choose electives that will allow for degree completion in four years. Current students can access the program immediately, and the official rollout for new students will begin in Spring 2014. In addition to taking classes at MSU Denver’s primary downtown Denver campus, the University offers students satellite campus locations in Greenwood Village and Northglenn. For more information about the program visit http://www. msudenver.edu/nursing/programinformation/dualenrollment/ This program complements MSU Denver’s existing baccalaureatelevel nursing program in the Department of Health Professions, which also houses academic programs in gerontology, heath care management, human nutrition and dietetics, integrative therapies and recreation professions. MSU Denver’s baccalaureate nursing program has received full reaccreditation from the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN), formerly the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). At its July 2013 meeting, the Board of Commissioners granted continuing accreditation to the program for eight years, the maximum time allowed. The first post-baccalaureate students graduated from MSU Denver’s medical laboratory science program in June 2013. The program was previously operated by the Colorado Health Foundation and is now managed by MSU Denver’s Extended Campus.

he left, and left the kids with her. She has $85 left for bills after she pays the rent. But today, she just needs food. Fourth family: A Castle Rock woman, who works as a server, and boyfriend, who works, and three children. They make a total of $1,700 a month. They need food and Christmas assistance. The task force has a family adoption program for the holidays, and has such things as toys for gifts and gift cards so the family can have a special meal. But Follmer said their Christmas assistance is limited. They can’t offer it to everyone. Fifth family: An out-of-state couple — who left everything including their jobs to come to Colorado after their daughter was in a serious accident — is now living in a hotel. They have temporary jobs, but can’t make enough to save enough for first month’s rent and deposit. Today, they need food. Sixth family: A Castle Rock family, grandmother in her 70s, grown daughter and three granddaughters. The daughter works, but the rent is more than half her income. They come in today for clothing, food and Christmas assistance. Seventh family: A Castle Rock moth-
ers in 50s with two teens. Because of serious health problems, she lost her job. The older teen had a job, but lost it. There’s no income at all right now. Today they need food and Follmer tries to find resources for rent assistance. Eighth family: A Castle Rock mother, a renter, with three kids, living on disability and food stamps, had been awarded significant child support, but hadn’t been receiving it. She needs help with food, utilities and Christmas assistance. Ninth family: An Elbert County family, renters, three kids and husband and wife. Husband is facing several surgeries to correct past surgery. He’s in extreme pain, but works off some rent for landlord. Wife is working. They need help with food and Christmas assistance. Tenth family: A Castle Rock family, renters. Wife, husband and one teenager. Husband is working. She broke a bone and currently can’t work. They come in for food. “All of these people are just scraping by,” Follmer said. Eleventh family: A Castle Rock family, long-term task force clients. Four adults, five kids, extended family. Two of the adults are working, and one has seasonal work. They come in for food and Christmas assistance. Twelfth family: A Parker grandmother, raising her grandchild after daughter passed away. She’s living on Social Security and disability. She comes in for food
and has a disconnect notice, so she needs help with utilities, and gets Christmas assistance. Thirteenth family: A Castle Rock homeowner, never been in before. Recently divorced and lost job when company closed down. Husband hadn’t been paying bills he said he’d pay. At this point, she just needs utilities assistance. She filed for unemployment in October but still hasn’t received any money. She’s been interviewing for jobs and was particularly excited about a recent interview. Fourteenth family: A Castle Rock couple and one child, renters, come in for food and Christmas assistance. “When more than half of their incomes goes toward rent … the money is eaten up pretty quickly,” Follmer said. Fifteenth family: A Castle Rock woman on disability, a renter. She’d like to work an hour or two a day, but Follmer shakes her head about that possibility. The woman is on oxygen 24 hours a day. She comes in for food. Sixteenth family: A Castle Rock man in early 20s, homeless. He couch-surfs; sometimes he’s out in the elements by Plum Creek or other places. Douglas County doesn’t have transitional housing or a shelter. He comes in every few months. This time he comes for food and clothing. He’s doing temp work and trying to get stable housing. But the task force gives a one-time $250 to help with first month’s rent and deposit. Follmer doesn’t want him to waste that if he’s not at the point where
he can financially keep a place. Seventeenth family: A Castle Rock couple and one teenager, renters, both work. But rent is more than half of their income. They make too much for food stamps. They come in for food. Eighteenth family: A Castle Rock couple and baby, renters. He works. She’s home with the baby. They come in every couple of months. Today they need food and some Christmas assistance. Nineteenth family: A Castle Rock man, 50s, just released from jail, the Douglas County Justice Center. Follmer said the jail releases people with nothing, no money, no transportation, so released inmates generally walk the couple miles to the task force to get help. This man got a ride from a local mental health agency. From Follmer, he gets some food and a couple days lodging at a motel. From there, he’s trying to get his job back, and reaching out to friends. Whatever family he has is estranged. Twentieth family: A Parker couple and one child live in a motor home on a relative’s property. They both work, but jobs are dependent on weather conditions. They come in for food. That was Nov. 26 at the task force. But that’s every day at the task force, Follmer said. And when she walks into her own home, she counts her blessings.

That was when she created the Rowan Tree Foundation, a Parker-based nonprofit that provides a platform of support for parents who have lost a child. Aside from outreach services that guide surviving loved ones through the stages of grief, the foundation sends out personalized remembrance notes. Each one is sent as a show of support during the month the parents lost their child. More than 500 were mailed this year, and they read: “We hope you find some comfort in knowing you are not alone. We are remembering with you.”
Foundation offers shared experiences Perhaps most uplifting are the organization’s two signature annual events: a butterfly release in June and candlelight vigil in December. Both are well-attended and take place at the Rowan Tree Foundation Angel Memorial and Healing Garden, along the Cherry Creek trail just west of McCabe Meadows Park at South Parker Road and Indian Pipe Lane. The land was donated to the nonprofit two years ago by the Town of Parker. The butterfly release is an emotional experience, but one that is intended to
help heal. “We order monarch butterflies that are packaged individually and I read all of the children’s names, and at the end of the program, everyone opens their box and releases the butterflies into a field,” said O’Flynn, who serves as the foundation’s executive director. “A lot of people are crying at the beginning, but once they’re released, everybody is smiling.” The shared experience is what is so valuable to O’Flynn. After all, it was bonding with others through grief that was the catalyst for the Rowan Tree Foundation. O’Flynn’s daughter was named Rowan, a Gaelic word meaning “little red one,” but later she discovered it is also a type of tree known to signify “strength against adversity and rebirth.” “It also represents connection, which was perfect for our mission,” said O’Flynn, who is helped by four volunteers. After a child passes away, local hospitals give packets to grieving parents and let them decide whether to seek support. Whether it’s one day after a loss, one month later, or even 40 years later, as was the case with one woman, the Rowan Tree Foundation is there to help, free of charge. For more information, call 720-5888693 or send an email to staff@rowantreefoundation.org. The foundation also has a website, www.rowantreefoundation.org, and a Facebook page.

Handmade cards, stockings sent to troops School, church send holiday greetings to Marine unit By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Lessons in giving aren’t hard to come by at Trinity Lutheran Church and School, especially around Christmas. The campus, on the southeast corner of State Highway 83 and Bayou Gulch Road, across from Ponderosa High School, teems with activity every November and December. Trinity Lutheran provides just one example of what happens at local churches and schools every holiday season. After Thanksgiving, children and church congregants busily prepared Christmas stockings for a Marine unit in Afghanistan. Kindergartners, along with the church youth group and the young-atheart seniors group, decorated envelopes for handmade cards, the centerpiece of each stocking. Each contains a message saying “thank you for your service,” along with notes that let the Marines know that people back home are thinking of them. The stockings were filled to the brim with snacks, including meat sticks, dried fruit, nuts, candy canes, gum, crackers, hard candy and mixes for cold drinks like iced tea. They are items that are hard to come by for the Marines, who are stationed at Camp Bastion in Helmand province. The effort began with a small idea:
church member Heather Pankratz and her children planned to send a few Christmas cards to troops overseas. She remembered that Lucas Crowe, a 2001 Chaparral High School graduate, had been listed in the “prayer” section of the church’s newsletter, and decided he would be the perfect candidate. But when church and school officials caught wind of the project, things grew exponentially. “It started with just wanting to send some cards and a few treats, but this congregation and this school are undeniably the most generous, and just wanting to help and take care of people,” Pankratz said. Lucas’s mother, Janine, who has attended church at Trinity Lutheran since 1996, was elated by the news, but not surprised. She called the campaign to include stockings for Lucas’ comrades “heartwarming.” “It just gives me goose bumps,” Janine Crowe said. “It’s fantastic.” Lucas, 30, has been in Afghanistan since August and is on a seven- to nine-month deployment. He is in charge of emergency equipment for Marine helicopters, including parachutes, oxygen masks and ejection seats. When asked what he might want in a care package, he mentioned junk food. He and his Marine unit - 75 men and five women - are unaware that six large shipping boxes of stockings are en route. The food will be a welcome taste of home until it runs out. The cards, however, with sincere messages of gratitude, are the enduring components of the stockings.

Trinity Lutheran School fourth-grader Liam Ruwet, of Castle Rock, selects a handmade Christmas card to put in a stocking for a Marine in Afghanistan. Photo by Chris Michlewicz Personal, handwritten notes can carry even more meaning during a holiday season away from family, Pankratz said. All told, more than 100 people were involved in the stocking-stuffing effort. Students in grades fourth through eighth helped load them up, assembly-line style. Some kids, like Sydney Hessler and Liam Ruwet, carefully scanned the hand-drawn cards, trying to choose the perfect one. And because the women’s ministry and
a school family offered to cover shipping costs for the boxes, the $175 in donated funds was used to buy more goodies. Christmas projects are not uncommon at Trinity Lutheran. The church and school have also been involved in Operation Christmas Child, flood relief efforts and Thanksgiving food drives for the Parker Task Force. Pankratz says they try to balance local, national and international philanthropy to maintain a broad reach.

School board makes election official Leadership changes, new members step in By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com The Douglas County School Board swore in four recently elected members, said goodbye to two departing ones and appointed a new president and vice president during its Dec. 5 meeting. Kevin Larsen was selected as president and Doug Benevento vice president, both through a unanimous vote of their fellow board members. Benevento, elected to a second term this November, and re-elected board member Meghann Silverthorn, along with newcomers Jim Geddes and Judi Reynolds, took oaths of office at the meeting’s start. Term-limited board president John Carson left the board after serving for eight years, the last four as president. Board member Carrie Mendoza, on the board less than a year while filling a vacated post, also ended her service at the meeting’s start. Benevento said he intends to serve in a supporting role, and will “help others accomplish what they want to do and not run out and try to take the lead.” Larsen elaborated verbally on previous comments about improving communica-
tion with and outreach to the community. He made one change aimed at accomplishing those goals during the meeting by extending public comment from two to three minutes per person. The time limit will be strictly enforced, regardless of the topic, he said. “I’m going to extend the time from the norm we’ve enjoyed but firmly enforce the time we put out there,” Larsen said. “When you reach the zero hour, the gavel will come down and the comment will conclude. I’ll be fair about that and consistent.” Larsen also said items already on a meeting agenda will have priority in public comment, with other opportunities made available for more general comments. “There are many more things that bring this community together than separate us,” he said, urging all to communicate using “civil tones.” “I’m looking forward to using my ears as well as my tongue to create (a good) atmosphere.” Board members unanimously adopted a resolution honoring Carson that praised him for a commitment to innovation, and putting students and parents first. It noted his leadership role in the voucher program, changes to teachers’ evaluation and compensation methods, enhanced school security and restructuring of many aspects of the district. “I look forward as a citizen to watching you carry on,” Carson said.

Real-estate pros tout smart growth Group plans hard look at Littleton Boulevard
smart growth principles
By Jennifer Smith jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Real-estate brokers across the nation are jumping on the smart-growth bandwagon, and the South Metro Denver Realtor Association is no exception. “Growth is `smart’ when it gives us great communities with more choices and personal freedom, good return on public investment, greater opportunity across the community, a thriving natural environment, and a legacy we can be proud to leave our children and grandchildren,” reads the Smart Growth Network’s website, which counts the National Association of Realtors among its 40 or so partners. Others include health organizations, architect and planner associations, environmental groups and more. On Dec. 5, SMDRA welcomed the NAR’s John Rosshirt to outline the concept, which advocates for things like pedestrian-
• • • • • • • • • •
Mix land uses Take advantage of compact building design Create a range of housing opportunities and choices Create walkable neighborhoods Foster distinctive, attractive communities with a strong sense of place Preserve open space, farmland, natural beauty and critical environmental areas Strengthen and direct development toward existing communities Provide a variety of transportation choices Make development decisions predictable, fair and cost effective Encourage community and stakeholder collaboration in development decisions
friendly neighborhoods, transportation choices, environmentally sound construction practices and fostering a strong “sense of place.” “What you want is for people to get first off is that this is a really cool place,” said Rosshirt. “Everywhere has a place that is strong and can be built on. Whatever it is
that’s your distinctive thing, get behind it.” The class is one of the first concrete actions to come out of October’s Littleton Community Retreat, which SMDRA member Kay Watson was part of. She’s following up by planning a “charette,” defined as an intensive, collaborative session to find a solution to a problem that integrates the interests of a diverse community. This one would focus on a smart-growth perspective on Littleton Boulevard. Stapleton Denver is an example of a neighborhood that incorporated smartgrowth principles into its design, and the metro area is full of others. In fact, the Smart Growth Network will showcase many of them during its 2014 New Partners for Smart Growth Conference, Feb. 13-15 at the Hyatt Regency downtown. Rosshirt explained that the 20th-century trends of single-family homes on large lots and sprawling covered shopping malls are fading as people’s lifestyles change. “Our American dream is not the same as it was in the ‘40s or ‘50s,” he said. People are having fewer kids today, and many of those kids are choosing to remain single longer, according to a study funded
in part by NAR. Many of them believe less stuff to pay for and less living space to take care of equals more freedom, and about 75 percent of them would be willing to pay more for housing to commute less. “The American dream is really about economic mobility,” said Rosshirt. The average household size is just 2.6 today, and in 2008, one-quarter of all American households were single, according to the study. So it takes more living units just to maintain population, which results in the dreaded “D” word - density. And that’s where smart-growth advocates often hit a brick wall in their communities. “Often the most vocal people are in the smallest minority,” he said. “You all know NIMBY. NIMBY always comes to those meetings. … There’s nothing bad about density, the problem is bad planning and design.” Proponents might find a surprising ally in seniors. According to the NAR study, the number of households headed by people 85 and older will double from 2005 to 2030. “They’re the ones that are competing with the Millennials for the downtown condos,” said Rosshirt.

Littleton resident sets up journey for 2014 By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Aix-en-Provence, Arles, Luberon, Marseille, Orange, Palermo, Agrigento, Siracusa, Taormina and more … Travelers interested in art and architectural history will find “food for the soul” on a daily basis as they embark on a tour offered May 17 to June 4 by veteran traveler Christine Khorsand of Littleton. Khorsand taught at Arapahoe Community College from 1991 to 2011 (French, Spanish, art history). And starting in 1993, she arranged summer art-related, faculty-led study trips to France and Italy for students and others. Tour members could paint, take photographs, study art history and French in various combinations, in various years — at various locations. When she retired, she started her own company: Christine’s Travels. ACC art professor Susan Goggins, who was on many of those trips, will be the art history lecturer in 2013. Many previous trips began, as this one does, with time in Aix-en-Provence, where Khorsand grew up — a city related to the others she plans to visit by reflecting thousands of years of accumulated layers of culture. One finds Roman and Greek ruins (an ancient theater is retrofitted to host jazz concerts), Medieval and Renaissance, Classical and Baroque and the landscapes that attracted the famous painters: Van Gogh, Cezanne, Picasso and more… Field trips by bus will visit surrounding points of interest,
while travelers will stay in Aix for eight nights. Next, a flight from Marseille will carry travelers to Palermo in Sicily for touring from May 25 to June 4, with stays at several different towns — and travel again by private bus. Sicily also has been home to dozens of civilizations, which have left a mark. Khorsand said she had not been there previously and she just returned from an extended visit, where she determined a route, visited ancient cultural sites, towns and prospective hotels and arranged for bus transportation — and built her level of excitement about its wonders. The estimated cost is $3,300, based on double occupancy, assuming the price of the euro doesn’t change dramatically. A deposit of $1,000 will be due by Jan. 15, 2014, so she can reserve hotels and transportation. That amount does not include round trip airfare from Denver to Marseille (probably about $1,000), but Khorsand will be happy to assist with the numerous choices. She thinks some people might want to spend some time in Paris before or after this excursion, for example, and she can help with arrangements. The limit would be 20 travelers, she says, and a minimum of 12 is needed for it to work financially. It might be possible to do one segment or the other as long as the minimum is covered. For more information, contact Khorsand at 720-261-8452, ckhorsand@msn.com
Handmade gifts add spice to holidays Unique items are offered by artists, craftsmen By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Now that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are over, shoppers might consider some close-to-home locations that sell items created by local artists and craftsmen. No two pieces of art are exactly alike, but all are created with great pride and skill. And these colorful, inviting places are relaxed, casual and fun to visit. We cite a few ongoing, year-round shops and galleries, rather than short-term artisan markets (which we also recommend.) In Littleton: • Depot Art Gallery, 2069 W. Powers Ave., is housed in a historic 1881 Santa Fe Railroad depot that served Littleton when early rail lines came to town. During the U.S. bicen-
In the Depot Art Gallery’s baggage room, an array of handmade gifts are available. Photo courtesy of Dustin Ellingboe tennial celebration, the depot was turned into an art gallery through a major effort by the Littleton Fine Arts Guild, with community support. It is owned and maintained by the City of Littleton and operated by members of the Littleton Fine Art Guild, who volunteer. For the holidays each year, it schedules “The Holiday Express,” a show/sale of crafts and small fine arts by members and invited artists. Here
one will find whimsical rotund ceramic critters, glass art, tree decorations, note cards, angels, animal wall plaques for a child’s room, scarves, jewelry, photographs (I especially liked an egret) and inexpensive matted paintings and prints. Open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays. 303-7950781. • The Pottery Gallery Studio, 5739 S. Curtice St., is operated by potter Kim Louise Glidden
in a former Buick dealership garage in historic downtown Littleton. She represents more than 50 artists, including potters, sculptors, metal workers, jewelry makers and painters. 303-738-2275. • Willow — an Artisans Market, 2400 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton, is operated by Helen Rice. It represents more than 200 artists — most from Colorado — who create jewelry, pottery, garden art, greeting cards, clothing, accessories, glassware, paintings and prints. 303-730-8521. In Castle Rock: • Art on the Edge, 314 Wilcox St., is run by the Greater Castle Rock Art Guild, open Tuesdays through Sundays, which has a range of paintings, artwork called “Small Packages” (not larger than 12”x12”) and other gift items made by members. Also on exhibit: “Everything Watercolor” with works by Paul Valdez and Marcia Ames. 303814-3300. We will be interested in learning from readers about more locations in our south suburbs that feature original, locally created arts and crafts such as these.
Radio talk show conservative Mike Rosen, who turned 69 Dec. 5, is taking his show to a slightly different time slot beginning Jan. 2. “KOA (850 AM) is about the only station in the country that delays Rush (Limbaugh) two hours,” Rosen told me on his birthday. “The parent company of Clear Channel decided to (air) Rush live from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. `The Colorado Morning News’ show with Stefan (Tubbs) and April (Zesbaugh) will move to 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. and become five hours instead of four.” Changing the `Rush Limbaugh Show’ to live time left Rosen with the 1 to 3 p.m. time slot after working a 9 a.m. to noon spot. “I understand and it’s fine with me,” Rosen told me. “I’m on the air one less hour, which makes me on the air five hours less a week. But with show prep (answering emails, contacting advertisers, etc.), I still work 70 hours a week. So many people listen to my show online, so for them nothing will change.” Rosen said his contract with Clear Channel lasts another 1½ years, then he’ll see what happens. “I take it one contract at a time,” he said.
Manning minds manners
Perhaps the sure way to secure an autograph from Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is to invite him to your wedding. Sounds more tidy than playing the post-game waiting game or bidding beaucoup bucks on a signed jersey during a charity auction. In the case of Anna and James, a couple with a wedding last fall, all they had to do was send No. 18 a formal invitation, according to a post on Reddit. A photo of the signed invite went viral after a Redditor “Lackadaisical Romp” posted the pic of the wedding invitation sent by his sister. Not only did Manning show his Southern gentlemanly manners by responding in a timely manner, but he checked off the “regretfully decline” box and added the inscription, “Anna and James, Best Wishes.” A Yahoo.com poster quipped, “Perhaps our favorite comment about the photo comes courtesy of Redditor `MasterSplinter21’ who writes, `Eli (Manning) replied too, but his response was intercepted.’ Even with two Super Bowl rings and the Giants’ current winning streak, poor Eli still gets treated like the little brother.”
Christkindl returns
Denver’s 13th annual Christkindl Market at Skyline Park on the 16th Street Mall and Arapahoe (across from the D&F Tower and ice skating rink) brings a German flair to Christmas shopping and entertainment through Dec. 21. This year’s market — Colorado’s largest and most authentic Christkindl venue — will be bigger and better than ever by adding more music, more beer and Gluehwein (mulled red wine), entertainment and more holiday spirit. Hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

Villano brings it on for Christmas Musician hopes for large crowd at Lone Tree church By Sonya Ellingboe

The band will appear in Lone Tree on Dec. 19. Courtesy photo nearby family members — his parents still live in Highlands Ranch and his siblings are also close by. His brother Ed, an engineer by profession — and a percussionist with the band — helps out as assistant pro-
ducer when it’s holiday concert time. Both said that next year the band will transition to year-round scheduling, with a series of outdoor summer concerts and expanded venues for Christmas concerts
— hopefully in Fort Collins and maybe Boulder. This year, they performed Dec. 12 at Stargazers Theatre in Colorado Springs. They think they are better than Mannheim Steamroller, with which they have been compared. With 14 members, they can produce a full sound or “take it down a notch,” depending on the song they’re performing, Dave said. The special sound could be related to inclusion of some unusual instruments: Tina Gugler is a U.S. National hammered dulcimer champion and Eric Olson is well known for his performances on Uillean pipes. Dave Villano plays an Irish pennywhistle, electric violin, guitar, Uillean pipes and more. Ed Villano plays a stumpf fiddle. Band member Dave Beegle, once Villano’s guitar teacher, was named “Best Independent Guitarist of the Year” by Guitar Player magazine. Villano was also enthused about new vocalist Devan Jones, an “American Idol” contestant who is “filled with charisma, energy, soul …” He said he tries to find the best possible local talent and found James by googling “American Idol, Denver.” Vocalist Taylor Jordan was also an “American Idol” contestant. The band’s music is described as “traditional, Celtic, and contemporary holiday music … running the full gamut of musical experience … from classical to folk, rock and everything in between.” That should please most family members.

ParkerSportS wrestling preview
Ponderosa wrestling program among best Mustangs owners of 10 state championships By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Corey McNellis was a two-time Colorado wrestling champion at Ponderosa. His older brother Chris was the Mustangs’ first-ever state champ. The McNellis brothers are part of Ponderosa’s wrestling program that has been one of the state’s best over the past two decades. Ponderosa wrestlers have won 10 state championships, one less than Holly, Wray and Montrose for the most in Colorado hitory. The Mustangs hold the state record by winning eight consecutive state championships. The Mustangs, who were the Class 5A runners-up last season, will be seeking their 20th consecutive Continental League title in the 2013-14 campaign and will be attempting to stretch a streak of 160 straight league dual meet victories. “We lost dual meets but they have been outside of the league,” explained former wrestling coach Tim Ottmann, who is now the Mustangs’ athletic director. “We had some really good teams in the early ‘90s and won some state championships. “Years and years ago we built a feeder system. We have a real good junior wrestling program and it feeds the high school program. You talk about teams that have to rebuild and we just reloaded with incoming talent. No team wants to be the one that loses a dual meet. It’s important to them. But we’ve also been fortunate to have enough kids because you have to fill 14 weight classes.” The names of Ottmann, who coached seven years at Burges High School in El Paso, Texas, and Ponderosa are sprinkled throughout the Colorado High School Activities Association’s wrestling records. Ottmann, the 2008 National High School Wrestling Coach of the Year, ranks
returning state Qualifiers Returning south metro-area qualifiers for the 2013 state wrestling tournament with last season’s weights: 106 - Frank Martinez, Chaparral; Bradley Colebank, Mountain Vista; Caleb Strahan, Legend 113 - JT Stancil, Chaparral; Kade Snider, Ponderosa; Matt Finesilver, Cherry Creek 120 - Mitch Finesilver, Cherry Creek 126 - Zachery Moye, Ponderosa; Zach Finesilver, Cherry Creek 132 - Jared Todd, Heritage; Ben Trygstad, Chaparral 145 — Tory Williams, Ponderosa; Aaron Trygstad, Chaparral 152 - Mason Harms, Cherry Creek; Jake Tarr, Chaparral; Kelton Good, Ponderosa 160 - Kaleb Geiger, Castle View; Max Lavigne, ThunderRidge; Tanner Olson, Ponderosa 170 - Hudson Marker, Castle View; Dylan Gabel, Ponderosa 182 - Jaylen Mosqueira, Arapahoe 195 - Matthew Stanley, ThunderRidge; Zach Waanders, Arapahoe 285 - Joe Hunsaker, Castle View; Dane Drimmer, Chaparral; Blake Jacobs, ThunderRidge; Jamin Smith, Douglas County second in best dual meet record at one school (125-12) and first in best dual meet career record (170-22). After the 2008 season, Ottmann handed over the reins of the Ponderosa program to Corey McNellis. “It’s been really fun to build it over the years and hand it over to Corey,” said Ottmann. “It has been a dream come true. I’m really proud of it and want to see it continue. “My son Jake wrestled for me and he graduated in 2008. The last match I ever coached was my son in the finals, which was really cool. But Jake and I had decided. He graduated and I turned it over. I coached for 25 years and that was enough.” In McNellis’ first season as head coach, Ponderosa almost lost a league dual meet. The Mustangs and Chaparral tied 33-33 but Ponderosa won on criteria by winning eight of the 14 matches.
Five of Ponderosa’s six returning state qualifiers take a break from wrestling practice in front of the Wall of Champions. From left to right are Kade Snider, Tanner Olson, Dylan Gabel, Kelton Good and Tory Williams. Missing was Zachery Moye. Photo by Jim Benton McNellis and his wrestlers feel the Continental winning streak provides a motivation. “It motivates them the way that we present it,” said McNellis. “Every team is different. It gives them confidence that the coaches know what they are doing and the program is a well-run machine that they need to buy into and if they do, they are going to have success. “We really set our goals higher to do well at the national and state level and then the league stuff kind of falls in place.” Ponderosa has crowned 35 individual state champions and 10 wrestlers earned All-America honors. “It’s the program and not just the team,” added McNellis. “If we can get them bought in, then that’s when you reload instead of rebuild.
“Success breeds success. When they build confidence it helps them. We also build our schedule so we see top competition during the year. You have to build your schedule so it’s tough so you see the best.” McNellis is one of several combinations of brothers who have wrestled for Ponderosa and won state titles. Dylan Gabel, the defending 170-pound state champion, and Kade Snider are two Mustangs with brothers who captured state crowns and are on the current Ponderosa team. “It’s really cool,” said Ottmann. “We’ve had multiple brothers come through, in some cases like the Snider family they have six or seven in the family and of course Kade is still with us. It’s been a real good long tradition of family. They have come through.”
Legend boys open with wins Titan seniors show leadership By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Elijah Cherrington is not yet in top basketball shape. However, he’s pretty close. Cherrington, an All-Pioneer League wide receiver who helped Legend’s football team advance into the first round of the Class 5A playoffs, scored a game-high 26 points to lead the home-standing Titans to a 60-50 non-league win over Abraham Lincoln Dec. 6. “It takes a little bit of time, probably a couple weeks to get into basketball shape,” said Cherrington. “It’s happening slowly. I’m taking it one step at a time. I’m maybe not at 100 percent yet.” The 6-foot-4 senior looked sharp in the fourth quarter when he scored 11 points as the Titans, who were leading by just a point
entering the final stanza, pulled away from the Lancers. It was the second win in two outings to start the season for No. 10 Legend, a team that was a Class 5A state semifinalist last season. “The senior leaders want the ball at the end of every game, making free throws and that’s what I wanted to do,” said Cherrington. “I’m looking to score more this year. We’re finding ourselves and it was definitely a good win over Lincoln.” Legend coach Kevin Boley agreed. “We’ve got some young guys who are gaining experience and we’ve got to rely on some seniors who have been there,” explained Boley. “It was a great win, a win we didn’t get last year.” Cherrington and 6-8 senior Zach Mihalicz accounted for 15 of the 18 points the Titans scored in the decisive fourth quarter as Legend avenged last season’s 49-44 setback to the Lancers. “That’s what you look for in those se-
niors and guys that have played in the Final Four,” said Boley. “He (Cherrington) needs to step up in those moments.” Cherrington caught 51 passes for 1,017 yards and had 1,651 all-purpose yards during the football season but had only four points for the basketball team in Legend’s 69-67 win over Smoky Hill Dec. 4. He played much better against the Lancers with 26 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and one blocked shot. And, he was looking for the ball in the fourth quarter with the game on the line. “We were fortunate because he had about a week and a half between the end of the football season and when we started,” said Boley. “We just told Elijah to stay away. He’s such a great athlete. I’m not sure great athletes need a whole lot of time to get going.” Mihalicz had 17 points and eight rebounds for the Titans and sophomore point guard Riley Matticks added 12 points.
In other action In other opening week games, Zach Braxton led No. 4 Highlands Ranch to a 5754 victory over Lakewood on Dec. 3. The senior hit a jumper and then cashed in on two free throws with less than a minute to play to seal the victory. He finished with 22 points, 15 rebounds, five assists and four blocked shots. Rangeview, ranked No. 5 in the preseason rankings, defeated No. 9 Chaparral, 74-70 in overtime. Jerrod Doran’s 19 points was high for the Wolverines. Brady Subart’s 18 points led No. 8 Mountain Vista to a 91-47 win over Rocky Mountain on Dec. 2. Valor Christian, the top-ranked Class 4A team, whipped Ralston Valley, 63-43, Dec. 3 and knocked off Evergreen 72-38 on Dec. 7. Garrett Baggett scored 28 points against Ralston Valley and tossed in nine points in the romp over the Cougars.

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com It’s not often a basketball team can score only two points in a quarter and still win the game. But that was the case for the ThunderRidge girls Dec. 7 in a 49-40 win over Rock Canyon as the two schools played in the championship game of the ThunderRidge/Rock Canyon season-opening basketball tournament. ThunderRidge opened a 33-23 lead at intermission and made all six of its 3-point baskets in the first half, including a buzzer beater by Brittany Birdsey to end the opening half. The Grizzlies managed just two points as the teams exchanged offense for defense in the third quarter. However, Rock Canyon scored just five points to just trim ThunderRidge’s lead to seven points. A 7-0 run to begin the final quarter pushed ThunderRidge ahead by 14 points and wrapped up the title in the tournament that featured four teams
ranked in the Top 10 of the Class 5A CHSAANow preseason rankings. “We’ve been working very hard on the offensive piece, executing that and some of those kinds of things against different defenses, and I thought our kids in the first half did a good job,” said ThunderRidge coach Paula Krueger. “We shot really well from the 3-point line.” Taylor Rusk had 11 points to lead the Grizzlies against the Jaguars. The 5-foot-10 sophomore scored 41 points in the three tournament games. ThunderRidge, ranked eighth in the opening poll, cruised to a lopsided victory over Arvada West, 57-4, and whipped No. 3 Arapahoe 46-29 before beating No. 5 Rock Canyon in the title game. “I have to give my kids tons and tons of credit because in three games the most points they have given up is 40,” added Krueger. “That’s fantastic. Rock Canyon is a very good basketball team that we beat.” ThunderRidge had 37 steals in the three games led by sophomore Madison Ward, who was credited with 12 of the thefts. Rock Canyon opened the tour-
nament by setting a school scoring record in a 92-26 conquest of Rangeview and followed with a 50-41 win over Ralston Valley, before losing to Continental League rival ThunderRidge in the title game. Senior forward Lexy Thorderson scored 18 points against ThunderRidge, finishing with 55 points in the tournament. “It was a learning game for us,” said Rock Canyon coach Becky Mudd. “We definitely played great defense in the third quarter. We weren’t as disciplined as we needed to be offensively to run things to get good looks. We were trying to do it all at once. We wanted to make up all the points all at once instead of chipping away at it and running our stuff. “I thought that was the difference in the first quarter. They were disciplined and running their stuff and we weren’t. We made up for it by playing good defense in the second half. We just didn’t get the offense going. It’s great to play good teams and especially to play ThunderRidge. It’s a tournament and you want to win but we’re looking forward to playing them again during the regular season.”

Novel tells rousing tale of 1890 Denver Young lawyer plays role of truth-seeker By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “About half a dozen regular customers leaned on the bar in Murphy’s Denver Saloon … as good as any spot to spend the hot summer morning …” Then two angry men stormed in and a fight ensued over the attentions both had paid to a lady of the night, a “soiled dove.” At about that time, Andrew Coyle, Esq., a newly minted lawyer from Philadelphia, arrived by train and saw policemen escorting a prisoner along the street. He took the cable car to 17th and Larimer Streets and headed for the classy Windsor Hotel … Familiar names of build-

Eatery’s chili gets nod
Food & Wine magazine, sponsors of the annual top shelf foodie event the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, has confirmed what we’ve known all along. According to www.foodandwine.com, among the best green chili is the one served at Denver’s Rocky Mountain Chili Bowl, 7305 E. 35th Ave. Here’s what the Food & Wine folks had to say: “What started as a food truck flaunting the slogan `Go green or go home’ has grown into a dedicated green chili restaurant.

ings and businesses add to the fun of solving a mystery. Before he embarked on writing “Murder in the Rockies,” author G. Eldon “Gary” Smith had read a great deal of Denver history, circa 1890 — books by Tom Noel, Phil Goldstein and especially “Hell’s Belles: Prostitution and Vice in Early Denver” by Clark Secrest. (The third-generation Longmont native, who now lives in Centennial, notes that Secrest was two classes ahead of him at Longmont High School. ) “As I was doing my research about early days in Colorado, I kept coming across the year 1890 as a time when many events took place. It soon became apparent that my novel was going to take place in 1890. I put down the basic premise and the beginning and end of my novel and let the characters tell their own story. Many characters I had not forseen entered the story and changed
the plot. I just used spell check and left the story up to the characters.” And he has a grand assortment of characters — some we have read about in history books and others who are figments of Smith’s imagination. They actually are reasonably well under the author’s control most of the time. They cross paths in downtown Denver — described as it was then, visit restaurants and bars and courtrooms. Coyle defends a rancher accused of murdering a miner, although Coyle is convinced of his innocence. Smith said he had visited all the locations mentioned in the novel — some during Tom Noel’s and Dennis Gallagher’s historic walking tours/lectures. Coyle had to do a quick study on Colorado statutes and had to figure out how to locate the actual murderer of Henry Defler, since he was certain his first client, Will
Conway, was innocent — unfortunately, he had been heard to threaten Defler in that opening bar scene and most in town considered him guilty. The reader travels with the young attorney to Idaho Springs and up into mining country in search of the truth and Smith describes the dry, dusty, rutted roads and miner’s claims as we encounter other guntoting characters. Coyle Esq. finally figures it out in Sherlockian manner, outwitting the murderer. (A local sheriff is discovering Arthur Conan Doyle’s books and talks of the technology such as fingerprint analysis.) And then, there is the pretty haberdasher’s daughter … “Murder in the Rockies” by G. Eldon Smith is available at all Tattered Cover stores in a $15.95 trade paperback. It would fit well in a scene with a big cozy chair and a cup of hot cocoa.

Nolan Williams and Julie Fisher Williams purchased Grumpy’s in October from Bill and Sandy Barton. “My husband had been going there for coffee and really liked the place,” said Fisher Williams. “When he heard it was for sale, he came home one day and said `I’m going to buy Grumpy’s.’” Fisher Williams, who has lived in Elizabeth for 20 years, runs a small psychotherapy practice. Her husband, an entrepreneur, operates a number of small businesses in the area. The couple, both Oregon natives, had been business partners for the past four years and just became husband and wife this past February. In 1984, Nolan Williams was honored at the White House as “Entrepreneur of the
Year,” in part due to work he had done to start a short-line railroad in Minnesota. “Nolan is 66 and sometimes he can look a little grumpy,” jokes Julie. “So, along with the big stuffed teddy bear we’ve got there, he fits right in at the coffee shop.” The Williamses are planning to make some changes to the popular local gathering place, including moving the counter back to make additional sitting room. They also plan to offer more deli-style menu items, including homemade soups and sandwiches. Patrons will still have a wide selection of hot and cold drinks and be able to play board games, read a newspaper or use free wi-fi. And after the first of the year, Fisher Williams said Grumpy’s will remain open in the evenings. “We are having a lot of fun and really want Grumpy’s to be a down-home kind of place where the community can come in, read a book or newspaper, watch television or just talk and relax,” she added. Fisher Williams said the couple is currently in talks with city officials to redevelop the vacant lot on the corner of State Highway 86 and Main Street where the old
Nolan and Julie Williams are the new owners of Grumpy’s Coffee in Elizabeth.

If that plan moves forward, the couple
said they would likely relocate Grumpy’s as part of the new development. “We’re trying to move some of our businesses into Elizabeth,” said Fisher Williams. “We’d love to be able to give the town an economic boost.”

FOR THE WEEK OF DEC 11, 2013
GALLERY OF GAMES
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Your Arian penchant for impatience shows, as you consider passing a problem-prone project on to someone else. Best advice: Stay with it and work out those snarls yourself. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Even patient Bovines can be frustrated when carefully made plans go awry. But crank up that “stick-to-it-ivity” you do so well, and you’ll soon find that your schedule is back in sync.
& weekly horoscope
GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Your aspect favors using more resourceful means in dealing with a workplace situation. Some discreet checking around could help shed light on the root cause of the problem.

GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You show an unusually strong streak of stubbornness in rejecting suggestions from friends and/or family members early in the week. But you become more receptive by the week’s end. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) The Big Cat might find a gentler approach more effective when dealing with those who resist needed changes. Remember, the word “persuasion” starts with the sound “purr.” VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A disappointing experience with someone you felt you could trust can be painful. But there just might be more to this situation than you’re aware of. Press for an explanation. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Changing your views about something you believe in isn’t easy. But you might reconsider as the facts come in. Keep your mind open, even if you’re uneasy about what you might learn. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) You might have to do some serious shifting of gears to get your project back on track. But cheer up. Your hard work starts to produce some positive results by the week’s end.
The Department of Human Services of Douglas County Government, hereinafter referred to as the County, respectfully requests proposals from responsible and qualified providers of Child Support Enforcement casework.
