Tech startup could change world Parker-based QBLabs developed technology for medicine, sports By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Molly and Jennifer Maskrey don’t just believe their wearable technology can save lives — they know it will. With their startup, QBLabs, the Parker residents have developed MovementTek, a wearable device that alerts medical professionals and family members when a senior shows signs of instability when walking. The idea is for caregivers to intervene before a fall. But the device, which also is being tested to help patients with cerebral palsy, could expand beyond medical applications to provide real-time feedback to athletes and dancers to hone their techniques.
The company is seeking $1 million in seed funding for full-on production, manufacturing and distribution. It has partnered with Innovation Pavilion, a Centennialbased business incubator that has already connected the Maskreys with some big players in the industry, such as Arrow Electronics, a Centennial-based Fortune 500 company that specializes in electronic components and computer products. “Mind-blown” is how Lindsey Finklang, Innovation Pavilion’s strategic expansion associate, described her reaction when first introduced to the concepts being created by QBLabs, which stands for Quantative Bioanalytics Labs. “They have intelligence beyond words,” Finklang said of the Maskreys. “They understand technology development, and they want to use that to make the world a better place.”
FALL STATISTICS • One of three people age 65 and older fall each year. • Each year, 2.5 million people over 65 are treated in emergency departments for fall injuries. • One of five falls causes a serious injury, such as a broken bone or a head injury. • Women experience threequarters of all hip fractures. • Adjusted for inflation, the direct medical costs for fall injuries are $34 billion annually.

Parent Amy DeValk, who has a student at Arrowwood Elementary in Highlands Ranch, is frustrated: The new electronic report card leaves her more confused than clear about how her daughter is doing in school. “The descriptions of outcomes and content are vague and somewhat meaningless,” she said. “For example, under math, one of the outcomes is ‘use appropriate tools strategically.’ What tools? As they apply to what? Fractions, geometry, algebra? And what does strategically mean as it applies to math tools? Can she pick the right operation? There isn’t enough information provided. I should not need a cross-reference to understand how my child is doing in school or to interpret her progress report.” DeValk is among some parents and teachers concerned about the Douglas County School District’s new Elementary Progress Report, a revised electronic report card system for elementary students. The parents say it is difficult to understand and use. The teachers say the district gave little guidance for developing rubrics to evaluate student performance. But some principals and district administrators, while acknowledging the system needs refinement, say the new assessment tool — which has been in development for 2 1/2 years — needed to be updated. Unlike the previous report system, the new one measures students against the most recent standards and desired goals and provides a more accurate picture of what and how students are learning. Each school also has flexibility in adapting the report to its own values and principles. “We wanted to be able to report out on our Guaranteed Viable Curriculum — so, Reports continues on Page 7
Coach’s family a full-court affair Steve Ketchum, who has seven sons, is feeling at home at Ponderosa By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

When all his sons are home, Ponderosa boys basketball coach Steve Ketchum can field a basketball team. That’s because Ketchum and his wife, Mardi, have seven sons: Two are from Mardi’s first marriage and five are adopted — three from the Denver foster care system and two from Haiti. “When Mardi and I decided we were falling in love and we were talking marriage, the first question I asked her was, ‘Would you be willing to have more chil-
dren?’” Ketchum said. “I said, ‘What about adopting?’ and she said, ‘Absolutely.’ She had always dreamed of having seven kids — and she has seven sons.” Ketchum, 57, has coached basketball for 32 seasons, including a stint in Missouri and 16 seasons in Aspen, where his family lives. This season at Ponderosa, a Class 4A school playing in the 5A Continental League, is his first in Parker but his 33rd season overall of high school coaching. He is living with friends in Aurora for the season, which could last until early March if the team makes the playoffs. His wife, Mardi, is chief financial officer of Terrapin Investments and Management Corp., a hotel ownership and management company headquartered in Aspen.

FACES AMONG US
HELLO
... My Name Is
NEWS IN A HURRY
A glimpse of the people in our community
MARIO HARDING Father of two, hospital chief operating officer About me After growing up in Memphis with five brothers and two sisters and graduating from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, I relocated to attend graduate school at Washington University in St. Louis. Upon completion of a master’s degree in healthcare administration, I moved to Houston for 2 1/2 years; Rochester, Minnesota, for 2 1/2 years; and then to Jacksonville, Florida, for 2 1/2 years. Quite a few states in a short period of time! During this time, I worked in healthcare leadership roles in hospitals and group practices including the Mayo Clinic. In March 2004 while living in Jacksonville, my wife, Carrie, was recruited by Centura Health, which led to the relocation of our family including daughter, Veronica, to Colorado where we settled in Parker. Our second daughter, Janelle, was born at Parker Adventist Hospital in 2006. A typical weekday I start my day early by taking the RTD regional “P” bus from Parker to Denver, which gets me about four blocks from Denver Health Medical Center. As the associate chief operating officer of clinical support services at Denver Health, I am honored to work with over 6,500 employees providing primary and acute healthcare services to an indigent and vulnerable patient population. My role is to provide leadership and direction for various departments. In addition to having a level I trauma center, Denver Health serves as a public-safety net healthcare system with close ties to the city and county of Denver and University of Colorado School of Medicine, among other affiliations. On the way home on the bus, I have time to decompress by reading, taking a nap or checking email. When I arrive home, our evening could be filled with a band concert, Girl Scout meeting, middle school ministry, drum lessons and other busy activities for our daughters in
Parker resident Mario Harding with his eldest daughter, Veronica, 12, and wife, Carrie, at the American Heart Association Walk in Denver. Courtesy photo elementary and middle school. Just for fun I love to travel when the opportunity arises either for business or leisure. We enjoy going to the movies, spending time at Brunswick Zone, roller skating and other activities. I must admit that we are not into winter sports like many Coloradans, but enjoy visiting Winter Park during the summer for the jazz festival. Having lived in Colorado for almost 12 years, we look forward to spending time in other areas of this beautiful state. Time to relax? When time permits, I enjoy playing golf but do not get out enough as I should. In addition, I love traveling on cruises as there are so many activities to do on the ship as well as visiting several ports of call and experiencing different cultures. Family time is special, so I appreciate the time we spend together whether relaxing or not. Christmas tradition Several years ago, we started our own Christmas family tradition. On Christmas day, we spend the entire day in our pajamas and eat whatever we want throughout the day. We do not visit anyone and no one comes to our house. If there is a new movie at the theater, we may venture out of the house. It’s our family time which we cherish.

Suspect in school threat charged as adult The other 16-year-old student must complete a psychiatric evaluation before charges can be filed By Alex DeWind adewind@colorado communitymedia.com
District Attorney George Brauchler speaks at a court hearing on Jan. 5 for one of the 16-year-old female students accused of a threat against Mountain Vista High School. “This is not a case that we want to guess wrong on, either for the juvenile or for the community,” he said. Photo by Alex DeWind
One of two 16-year-old female students accused of making a violent threat against Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch has been charged as an adult with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder with extreme indifference and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder after deliberation. The bond for Sienna Johnson, who appeared in Douglas County court Jan. 5 in a green jumpsuit with handcuffs around her wrists, has been set at $1 million. Flanked by her public defender, she alternately scanned the room and stared at the floor without expression. Colorado Community Media is identifying her because of the adult charges. The other suspect, who will be identified if charged as an adult, also appeared in court at an earlier hearing Jan. 5 and was ordered to complete a psychiatric evaluation before charges can be filed. Prosecutors said Johnson admitted to faking progress while being held at Children’s Hospital for a psychiatric review and told detectives she was determined to carry out the threat if released. They said Johnson was a threat to herself and the community, in part, because of a detailed map she created in her journal with the letters “NBK,” which prosecutors said stands for “Natural Born Killers,” a violent 1990s movie that some say inspired the Columbine High School shooters in 1999. The map allegedly outlined where the largest number of students would be at certain times of the school day. Prosecutors also said Johnson purchased a BB gun to practice shooting and attempted to purchase weapons. The prosecution team includes Jason Siers, senior chief deputy for the 18th Judicial District, and Deborah Wrenholt, deputy district attorney. Johnson’s public defender, Ara Ohanian, said prosecutors have “grossly exaggerated” the case against Johnson. Judge Paul King, who oversaw the hearing, granted Ohanian’s request for a hearing to ask that Johnson’s case be transferred to juvenile court. That hearing is scheduled for March 30. The two teens were arrested Dec. 12 after a
student reported the threat to the Douglas County Sherriff’s Office through Text-A-Tip, a service that allows high school students to convey concerns about safety, drugs and other issues anonymously. The threat was to harm students and staff at Mountain Vista during the week of Dec. 14, according to Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen. Officials deemed the threat credible and took action immediately. Johnson had her first court hearing on Dec. 17, but prosecutors asked for a delay before the filing of charges. Prosecutors cited social media in their case against Johnson. Her Tumblr account, a social media blog, has since been taken down but was “extremely violent,” according to Wrenholt. She posted photos of classroom violence and references to school shootings, prosecutors said. Judge King scheduled a court date for Jan. 13 to determine if an affidavit with more information about Johnson’s journal entries and other potential evidence will be released. Johnson’s attorney asked that it remain sealed. Denver-area media outlets have filed a request to unseal the documents. The other defendant appeared in court for the first time Jan. 5, wearing a green jumpsuit with shackles on her wrists and ankles. She sat quietly at the stand with her father beside her and her mother behind. She remains uncharged until crucial information is obtained, including a mental health evaluation and access to her cell phone, according to 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler. Her next court appearance is Jan. 14, when charges could be filed. The teen’s parents agreed to release her cell phone password only if a search warrant is presented, according to her attorney, Dagna Van Der Jagt, who declined to comment after the hearing. The teen’s attorney also filed a motion arguing the girl’s diary was unlawfully seized by authorities and requesting documents remain sealed. It is not known if she will be charged as an adult. “We just haven’t come to that conclusion yet,” Brauchler said. Brauchler said he plans to remain closely involved in the court process. “… There is enough out there that I think people can conclude this has the potential to be something that is of extreme significance to members of this community,” said Brauchler, who lives in Highlands Ranch. “This is important to get right. This is not a case that we want to guess wrong on, either for the juvenile or for the community.”

Parker man updates book on missing son’s case
Exactly how 3-year-old boy died remains a mystery
By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Just like they do each year, the Ataderos celebrated little Jaryd’s birthday on Jan. 2. The difference between this party and others is the boy wasn’t there to enjoy it. “Every year, we buy him a birthday cake and put candles on it, and my daughter and my wife and myself will actually sing him ‘Happy Birthday,’” said Allyn Atadero, who has lived in Parker for four years. Months earlier, Atadero was marking the release of the updated version of “Missing: When the Son Sets — The Jaryd Atadero Story.” The 386-page book chronicles the personal struggle that gripped the Atadero family after 3-year-old Jaryd went missing during a hike in fall 1999. Relatives, friends and search-and-rescue teams worked doggedly to find the toddler, who had run ahead of the family on the Big South Trail in Poudre Canyon and seemingly vanished into thin air. Many speculated the boy had been attacked and carried off by a mountain lion. It wasn’t until more than three years later that hikers found Jaryd’s shredded clothing. The findings seemed to fit the narrative, until the Ataderos had the clothes examined. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation found no hair from a predatory animal and a distinct absence of blood. “It doesn’t sound like a mountain lion because there would have been blood everywhere,” Allyn Atadero said. That left the possibilities wide open, and Atadero held out hope his son might still be alive. One expert with whom Atadero consulted said he believed the clothing was on the boy when he was taken and then placed back on the mountain at a later date “to take us off the trail,” Atadero said. In June 2003, a skull fragment and tooth were found in the area where Jaryd went missing. Initial tests were inconclusive, but a DNA examination conducted two years ago proved the remains were those of the missing boy. The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office officially closed the case on Dec. 20, 2004, because “there was no foul play suspected in the disappearance and death of Jaryd,” said David Moore, public information officer for the sheriff’s office. Although the DNA result closed one chapter, it didn’t answer what happened to Jaryd Atadero. Writing it all down Allyn Atadero, a physical education teacher in the Jefferson County School District, didn’t
MORE INFORMATION For updates or to purchase the book, go to the Facebook page “Missing: When the Son Sets.” intend to write a book. He simply began journaling his thoughts to cope with the pain six months after the search was officially called off. He also wanted an accurate record of everything that happened so he could one day relate the story to his daughter, Jossalyn, who was 6 years old when her brother disappeared. Allyn Atadero began sending his writings to his twin brother, Arlyn, who lives in California and serves as assistant superintendent for a school district. Arlyn Atadero refined the story and added some of his own recollections. The book was released in 2008, eight years after Jaryd went missing. The most recent incarnation of “Missing: When the Son Sets — The Jaryd Atadero Story” considers new theories on what happened to the toddler and removes questions that have been answered since the first printing. Atadero, who lived in Littleton when Jaryd disappeared, said writing down his thoughts has been therapeutic and, for a time, kept the story of his son in the news. “My ultimate goal when I first started writing it was Jaryd had been missing and no one knew what happened to him,” he said. “I thought to myself, ‘What if he’s alive? What if he’s out there? As long as I can keep bringing attention to the story, people will see his picture.’” Atadero still receives occasional phone calls from strangers, including one person who urged him not to allow authorities to issue a death certificate. A man who authored a book about a serial killer suggested Jaryd Atadero could be a victim of a murder. And an anonymous caller claiming to have worked for the investigating agency on Jaryd Atadero’s case told Allyn Atadero not to give up because information was being withheld from him. Atadero, who is divorced from Jaryd’s mother and has remarried, remembers his son as a buoyant and bubbly child with a penchant for physical affection. “He was happy and full of energy, always smiling,” Allyn Atadero said during a recent interview. “He held my hand constantly.” Although the nagging sense of loss is constant and Atadero frequently thinks about the life milestones his son never experienced, he has been able to carry on and live his life. Atadero was recently named the Colorado middle school P.E. teacher of the year by SHAPE Colorado. But he still hasn’t given up hope in finding out how his son died.

Thieves swipe expensive tools from Parker businesses Heating/AC company trucks targeted Staff report Work vans belonging to electrical and heating/air conditioning businesses are being targeted at Parker businesses and apartment complexes. From Nov. 18 to Dec. 24, six work trucks were broken into — four had tools and other items stolen, Parker police said.
These trucks are being targeted because they are easily identifiable and frequently have valuable tools inside, police said. Investigators are releasing surveillance video from one of the incidents and asking the public’s help identifying the man responsible for one of the thefts. A male in a blue sweatshirt with a dark baseball hat was seen on surveillance video at a Parker electric company. He was driving a white, Chevy extended-cab truck with a silver tool box in the bed.
In two of the incidents, thieves broke into the vehicles but took nothing because the vehicles didn’t contain any valuable tools. “Thefts from motor vehicles are crimes of opportunity,” the department said in a statement. “The Parker Police Department urges residents to take steps
to avoid becoming targets of thieves. Removing valuable items from vehicles decreases the chances of thieves targeting you.” If you have information about these or any similar incidents, contact Sgt. Kris Bryant at Kbryant@parkeronline.org or 303-805-6511.

‘Prevention through intervention’ for seniors The married couple created QBLabs in 2014 and has focused on MovementTek motion sensors for three separate purposes, with an initial focus on fall prevention for those with balance issues. “We’re striving to make an impact to improve the quality of life for seniors,” said Jennifer Maskrey, chief executive officer. The device is designed around sensors with a six-axis orientation and a movement-detection module. A Bluetooth module transmits data from the sensor to an integrated system that uses algorithms to quantify the data and a color-coded system to identify whether a senior is in a safe zone or danger zone. The plan is to get MovementTek into independent-living and assisted-living facilities and prevent some of the 2.5 million falls each year that Centers for Disease Control reports among seniors 65 and older. Doing that could reduce medical expenses along with the anguish associated with injuries and deaths that can result from a fall, Jennifer Maskrey said. MovementTek allows for passive prediction through data trends based on a prolonged period of monitoring. Chief technology officer Molly Maskrey, who has degrees in computer science and advanced mathematics, calls it “prevention through intervention” and, because the technology can be worn in clothing, she likens it to noninvasive glucose meters worn by diabetics. It uses a “balance cone” as a baseline that’s measured when a senior has eaten well and taken all of his or her medications. Changes in balance, no matter how small, are detected. “If they’re approaching the point where they might be unbalanced,” Molly Maskrey said, “it transmits a signal to caregivers in a nursing home or sends a

text message to the son or daughter to check on them.” Jodie McCann, senior outreach coordinator for the Highlands Ranch Metro District, said falls are the top reason seniors go from living independently to assisted living. Prevention of falls would be a major step forward, she said. “Oftentimes, it leads to more serious things, kind of a snowball effect,” McCann said. “So many things can happen after that. It might be pneumonia or other setbacks that don’t let them to return to their way of life.” Changing existing healthcare and health insurance models is a challenging, uphill battle, Molly Maskrey said. However, there is a significant push in healthcare to encourage proactive measures instead of reactive. The Maskreys plan to eventually develop the technology to detect various environment conditions. For example, the system could notify family members if a senior leaves on the stove or hasn’t taken daily medication. Help for patients with cerebral palsy QBLabs also is working with the Center for Gait and Movement Analysis at Children’s Hospital Colorado to develop a gait-analysis application based on the hospital’s groundbreaking motion sensor

lab. The lab is particularly important for those with cerebral palsy. With MovementTek, the Maskreys believe they can track a patient’s leg movement and help surgeons pinpoint the exact places to disconnect muscle to fix gait issues. Timothy S. Nicklas, business operations manager at the Center for Gait and Movement Analysis, said his team has had preliminary discussions with QBLabs for a year and is providing validation that its motion sensors are accurate. The gait center and QBLabs are applying for grants to conduct testing. Although no official agreements exist with Children’s to use the technology, Nicklas said the center is happy to provide guidance to startups trying to make improvements in the field. “We really like having conversations with them because they’re doing some really cutting-edge stuff,” he said. “We see the type of work they’re doing as the future of movement analysis.”
The mobile technology will not replace gait-analysis labs, but rather would supplement existing resources and enable medical professionals to observe how patients walk while performing daily activities, Nicklas said. Resources are scarce for adults with cerebral palsy, and only a small percentage of patients receive the care they need, Jennifer Maskrey said. Motion analysis labs could potentially help mobile technology be more accessible and less expensive. “They know they can’t treat everybody they want to treat,” Jennifer Maskrey said, “so they want a mobile system.” Vic Ahmed, co-founder and chairman of Innovation Pavilion, sees tremendous potential in the technology. He predicts MovementTek will have “an enormous impact on the independence and mobility of millions of patients with cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury or critical balance challenges.”
MovementTek could help with sports, dance Staff report Molly Maskrey’s excitement grows when talking about “sports-performance quantification” and how MovementTek will help golfers perfect their swing or teach dancers to achieve perfect form. She should know. As a ballroom dancer herself, she is using the technology to help her fine-tune her rumba technique for an upcoming recital in February. Maskrey developed a rumba dance application that works in tandem with MovementTek to suggest adjustments when she practices. She wears the device
in her shoe. “I wouldn’t call it the perfect rumba,” she said with a laugh about the application. But “I do a pretty good rumba.” QBLabs has already jumped through the many hoops to integrate MovementTek with Apple devices, including the Apple Watch and iPad. The devices receive real-time information and correct the user when his or her movement and orientation is out of step with the ideal swing or dance step. “You can do it with any type of sport,” Maskrey said. “It’s quantifying something that wasn’t quantifiable” before.

Reports Continued from Page 1
not only Colorado state standards but also 21st Century Skills and various World Class Outcomes that we have,” said Ted Knight, assistant superintendent for elementary. “As a teacher, if you’re teaching those skills and are not able to report out on them, you’re not able to give parents the full picture.” The Elementary Progress Report was used for the first time Dec. 19 and made available to elementary-school parents through the Engaged Parent Portal, the online platform that supports the new system. Previously, parents tracked their children’s academic performance through the Infinite Campus system. It allows parents to log on to their children’s individual grade reports and follow their progress online. Infinite Campus is still being used in the middle and high schools. In the new progress reports, grading is still assessed on a four-point scale — exceeding, meeting, approaching or working below expected grade-level standards. And the report also still includes attendance information. But the new elementary reports differ from the old version because they not only detail student progress, but also update parents on how children are progressing toward the district’s stated objectives of incorporating World Class Outcomes, the 4Cs (critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration) and 21st Century Skills into student learning. (See definition box.) According to Carrie Stephenson, director of schools for elementary, the new system also fixes some limitations of the old Infinite Campus system, allowing teachers to customize their fields and categories and expanding space for teacher comments. “For example, if a teacher was going to teach science one semester and social studies a second semester, our previous system would require them to put in a NA (not applicable) for science for a semester,” Stephenson said. “Now, they can take what is in their lesson plans and have that on the report for each specific semester.” But Kelli Eastmond, a kindergarten teacher at Arrowwood Elementary, said the new reports don’t paint an accurate picture of students’ progress and performance. Eastmond usually sends parents detailed emails “explaining where their child is at and what they are working on,” she said. “The World Class Outcomes are so vague and difficult to quantify. We were not given a rubric to
grade from. I feel we should have been provided a grade-level rubric — we were not — to accurately rate on World Class Outcomes. There is not an area for behavior. It is also very inconsistent as each elementary school wrote their own.” District parent Kelli Slothouber has two children at Cougar Run Elementary, a third-grader and a fifth-grader, and said she was disappointed to find her older child’s report was different than her younger child’s. She worried about being able to clearly evaluate her children’s progress from year to year and whether other districts would understand the assessment language used in the progress reports. “How would I be able to compare their report cards from school to school?” she said. “If we moved within the district, they might be somewhat the same, but what about a different district or a different state?” Another Arrowwood Elementary parent, Michelle Marquez, said she had trouble logging into the new reports. “The delivery portal has lots of glitches and was unable to deal with the volume, which left parents unable to access their child’s progress report, which understandably was superfrustrating,” Marquez said. District officials said they are continuing to work with teachers and parents to answer questions and improve the new system. “Finding the best ways to communicate with our parent population is challenging and a place for focus for continued improvement,” said Judith Reynolds, school board vice president. “As with all new processes, there is a learning curve for all that are involved. My hope is that we can take the best of the new report and the intent for a more individualized reporting process and build on that in the future.” Board member David Ray, who was a teacher and principal in the district for more than 20 years, said he’s “convinced that there is no such thing as a perfect student progress report.” Introducing a new version typically comes with questions and some confusion from parents used to the old system, he said. But he also said a disconnect exists between what the district wants to communicate to parents and what parents want to know. “For many years, since introducing the first standards-based progress report, we have consistently received the message from parents that this is not a meaningful communication tool,” Ray said. “I believe the majority of our elementary parents simply want to know if their child is reading at the appropriate level, making adequate growth in how they write, developing a mathematical foundation and behaving appropriately.”
WORDS TO KNOW The new Elementary Progress Reports include the following terminology, which also is used throughout the Douglas County School District as among its stated objectives as to what skills students should be developing, along with what teachers should be focusing on in their classroom instruction.
Critical Thinking
Following is how the district defines the terminology.
Teamwork/Collaboration
Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum:
Content be a vehicle for developing important skills
Tells each grade-level teacher, student and parent the learning that is expected by the end of each school year or course. These expectations are the same for every district school based on course and grade level. 4Cs: Critical Thinking
Health/Wellness Resiliency/Adaptability Civic Responsibility System Thinking A World-Class Education requires that:
The most important information is identified and taught deeply Teaching produces sustainable learning The most important content and skills are assessed authentically
Collaboration
All learning activities are relevant and naturally integrative
Creativity
“Digital native” students are engaged
Communication
Through advocacy, students develop deep understanding of self, world, career and their own personal pathway to success

New progress reports more than two years in making By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Rick Kendall, principal at Roxborough Primary, led a committee of principals, teacher and parents that began looking at revisions to the old elementary progress report 2 ½ years ago. “We started that process because we had an elementary progress report that wasn’t flexible for different schools and was not a report that parents were reading,” Kendall said. Kendall found, when he checked last summer, that only about 20 percent of parents had logged in to their children’s progress reports in Infinite Campus. “I know how hard teachers worked on those, and it was disappointing to know their hard work wasn’t even looked at.” District principals have access to statistics that show them how many parents log into the system. They cannot see what parents view or download once logged in. The Infinite Campus system also had limitations on what could be changed to reflect current standards and rubrics, along with what could be written to convey a student’s performance, district
administrators said. “I remember a parent asking me what the ‘V’ meant to one of their child’s life skills grades,” Kendall said. “I said, ‘Oh, that’s a checkmark.’ Those were the limitations of Infinite Campus. It couldn’t even make a checkmark to show that.” Kendall said he met and worked with teachers and parents at his school when developing the new reports and said many other principals did the same. Although some teachers say they don’t like the differences of the progress reports among schools, the district wanted to keep parameters somewhat broad so that teachers could customize the report to what they are teaching and different schools could tailor it to match their values, said Ted Knight, assistant superintendent for elementary. “Teamwork, responsibility, you name it,” Knight said. “If a school community values certain skills over others, we wanted the school and the tool to be able to report that.”

Young couple finds home, sweet home — finally Competitive housing market makes search long and difficult By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Jessica Leifheit and Peter Hunziker, a newly engaged couple living in an apartment near downtown Denver, started looking for a house more than a year ago. When they found the perfect one in Highlands Ranch, they were prepared to write a homebuyer’s letter to the seller. They’d done it many times before. “From the moment we stepped into your house, we felt that this was a home that has been well cared for, meticulously maintained, and a place where we could make a future for ourselves,” they wrote. “We appreciate the thoughtful details of your home …” The letter, among other factors, helped the couple get their first home under contract, something not easily attained in south metro Denver’s booming real estate market. As of November, 1,912 single-family homes were listed in Highlands Ranch, according to Denver Metro Association of Realtors. And homes were selling after just 18 days on the market. Bryan Benham, a RE/MAX Alliance Realtor out of the Denver Tech Center, typically shows his buyers 10 to 20 homes before closing. Most clients send him a list of homes they find on websites, such as realtor.com. But many of those homes are already under contract, Benham said. “The market is moving fast,” he said. “And under $450,000 is the market that is really hot right now.” Leifheit, a high school teacher, and Hunziker, an information technology software engineer, started working with Benham in October after a year of house hunting. Because she teaches in Castle Rock and he works in Golden, they wanted a place somewhere in the middle. “It was a difficult process,” Leifheit said. “We saw a lot of properties that went very quickly.”

They made two offers last summer but were outranked by other buyers. And they made an offer on a two-bedroom home in Lakewood, but the seller backed out. “It’s not a normal market,” Hunziker said. “There’s a lot of demand and competition.” Hunziker looked to a real estate app called Redfin that lets buyers customize
Words connected Parker, community Longtime journalist, who died Jan. 2, wrote about business, entertainment and more By Ann Macari Healey ahealey@coloradocommunitymedia.com Wendy Aiello first met Penny Parker when Parker was working at the Rocky Mountain News covering retail, tourism, restaurants and advertising. They became fast friends. “She was smart and funny,” said Aiello, a public relations executive in Denver. “She made me laugh every time I talked to her. She truly loved being a reporter and enjoyed being in the thick of things in Denver.” When Parker died Jan. 2, she was still writing about entertainment, restaurant and philanthropic happenings in the Denver metro area in her popular weekly column “Mile High Life” for Colorado Community Media. Parker “Penny helped connect our suburban readers to what was happening in the Denver metro area,” said Jerry Healey, Colorado Community Media publisher. “Her voice can never be replaced.” Parker died in her Capitol Hill condominium at 12:30 p.m. Jan 2, exactly one month after her 62nd birthday. The cause of death has not been determined, her husband, Greg Henry, said. “Penny loved the battle for a scoop, whether she was writing a business story about the ski industry or finding out

Hunziker is most excited to have a garage and more room. Leifheit is looking forward to a spacious kitchen, a gas fireplace and a deck that overlooks open space in Highlands Ranch. “We are ready to just be home,” Leifheit said.
about John Elway’s engagement,” Henry said. “Penny loved the ‘On the Town’ column and working at the Rocky. Leaving the Rocky left a void in her life she was never able to get back. But she loved connecting with her readers on Facebook and in person.” Parker also is survived by her son, Mackenzie Parker Harden, 25, to whom she was devoted and who lives in New York. A family memorial and celebration of life will be held at an as-yet undetermined time, Henry said. A longtime journalist known for her tenaciousness, humor and competitiveness, Parker was a features and business reporter at The Denver Post until the rival Rocky Mountain News hired her in 2000 to write “On the Town,” a column about the “famous and near-famous” — as Henry put it — in the Denver sports, business and entertainment worlds. She covered major events such as the 2008 Democratic National Convention, the 2005 NBA All-Star Game, the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and the 2001 NHL Stanley Cup finals. She also garnered respect for her relentlessly thorough and determined business coverage. “At the Rocky, Penny was our greatest nemesis, especially with her terrific ski coverage,” said Don Knox, former Denver Post and later, Rocky Mountain News, business editor, who competed against Parker at the height of Denver’s newspaper wars. “She was everywhere at a time when it seemed like every Colorado resort was up for sale or changing hands.

Only you can hold yourself back How many times in our lives have we uttered the word “If?” “If only I would have…” “I could have made it if only I didn’t …” “If the sun wasn’t in my eyes.” “I would have been on time if I didn’t run into traffic.” If, if, if, if, if. There is an old saying that goes like this, “If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, every day would be Christmas.” You see “if” has always been the scapegoat or excuse as to why we don’t accomplish what we had set out to achieve. “If” the gym wasn’t closed I would have gotten my workout in. “If” the church parking lot wasn’t so full I would have attended service. “If” my friends would just stop talking about me, I would stop talking about them. Such a small little word right? I mean really, two letters, “if,” but such a powerful and big little word. Even in its smallness, in its precarious position between success and failure, the word “If” has become the easiest way out for many of us when it comes to rationalizing and justifying why we are not who we want to be or where we want to be in life. Accepting “if” is like giving ourselves permission to accept the defeats, mishaps, and barriers to success that will challenge us along the way
from time to time. What we need to understand is that regardless of our age, our position, our social status, our race and our sex, there is only one person on the planet that can stop us from reaching success and becoming all that we were meant to be and Michael Norton achieving everything WINNING that we want to be, do, and have. And that WORDS one person who holds that ultimate power is the same person who greets us each morning as we look in the mirror. That’s right, the only person stopping you is…you. This happens because we get caught up in and buy into the “ifs” and the “If only” excuse making talk track or script that we rehearse over and over again until the myth becomes fact. So here’s one potential solution for anyone who has become trapped in the “if” cycle of life, replace the word “if” with the word “when.” “When the gym is closed I will run laps
around the building and do push-ups and sit-ups.” “When the parking lot is full at church, I will park around the corner and walk, even though I may enter during the first hymn.” “When my friends seem like they are talking about me, I will listen to what they have to say, change what I need to change, and offer love and forgiveness. Never speaking poorly about them in return.” The world will certainly serve up its challenges and attempt to thwart our plans at times. And when that happens we can either buy into the problem and hide behind the excuse of “if” or we can say, “When the world gives me lemons, I will make lemonade.” I know it’s an old cliché, but it just felt like the right thing to share. How about you? Do you live in the world of “Ifs and buts?” or do you take a more responsive and proactive approach toward life and live for new opportunities, claiming future successes with a “Can do” attitude? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And as we replace the word “of” with the word “When” it really will be a better than good week.

Darkness welcome, but just a light amount
When I mentioned to a friend that I like it when it gets dark here at 5, she said, “Then why don’t you move to Barrow? They don’t see the sun for 67 days in a row come winter.” I am not so sure I would care for that, except as a narrative concept. Darkness at 5 is fine. The population of Barrow, Alaska, is less than 5,000, or roughly the number of shoppers in my King Soopers on a Saturday. There’s a high school and they field athletic teams. The Barrow High Whalers. Recently they reached the semifinal game of the Alaska Small School Football Championship. And then it was lights out. As much as I like the early darkness these days, that would be too much. I wonder what the depression rate is? Light bulb sales are the highest in the United States. On the flip side, Barrow has 80 days of uninterrupted sunlight. I just checked. It’s 4:30 p.m. in Barrow, and minus 20.
And dark as pitch. It makes me wonder why someone would live there. I think it would be a good encampment for a fugitive. It’s about as undesirable as it Craig Marshall Smith gets, presumably for bounty hunters QUIET too. DESPERATION It is its own kind of punishment. The area is best known for a tragedy. Pilot Wiley Post and humorist Will Rogers both died in a plane crash near Point Barrow in August, 1935. Post was 37. Rogers was 56. Post was the first pilot to fly solo around the world.
Rogers wrote, “When I die, my epitaph, or whatever you call those signs on gravestones, is going to read: ‘I joked about every prominent man of my time, but I never met a man I dident (sic) like.’ I am so proud of that, I can hardly wait to die so it can be carved.” Post and Rogers preceded Carole Lombard in airplane deaths. And of course Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and The Big Bopper. Maybe you already know this: Waylon Jennings gave up his seat on the plane to The Big Bopper, because J.P. Richardson was ill. Add: Glenn Miller, Ricky Nelson, Otis Redding, Jim Croce, Stevie Ray Vaughn, John Denver, John F. Kennedy Jr. and Patsy Cline. Back to Barrow: It seems to me that 67 days without a glimpse of sunshine would have a negative effect on personality, behavior and things like productivity, creativity and even morale. Maybe not. It must be wonderful to see the gradual Smith continues on Page 11

What is a senior citizen? Not us, of course Many years ago when I turned 50, some funny things began to happen. People started interacting with me in whole new ways. My doctor started conversations with, “Now that you are 50….” My bank told me about its special services for seniors and, wherever I went shopping or other leisure activities, people took the time to tell me about their senior discounts. Like a tadpole to frog, I had morphed and been reclassified into this thing called senior citizen. AARP is in your mailbox two days before you turn 50. McDonald’s is willing to classify customers looking for a discount as a senior if they are 50, 55, 60 (depending on who you ask), or simply if they “look it,” according to a May 2012 post from the huffingtonpost.com. Ouch!

Can a senior citizen be defined as someone who works or someone retired? Many times, senior is related directly to retired, which in turn is Naioma Walberg related in some people’s minds LIVING AND as diminishing capabilities. AGING WELL Don’t say that too loudly around Harrison Ford, 73, who is still fighting the dark side of the Force in future galaxies, or Alex Trebek, 75, who is
still giving clues on “Jeopardy!” And don’t say it too loudly to those who worked hard and were successful enough to retire to pursue lifelong dreams. When it comes to the government, it usually applies to individuals who are 65-plus and eligible to receive full Social Security benefits, pensions and medical benefits. West’s Encyclopedia of American Law defines a senior citizen as “Elderly persons, usually more than 60 or 65 years of age.” Any definition that uses the term “elderly persons” definitely makes being classified as a “senior” sound much more appealing. Fortunately, there are some upside perks for suddenly becoming reclassified. Automobile insurance companies, as well as many restaurants and event venues, offer discounts. Travel can become cheaper and, most important, you are eli-
gible for the National Parks Golden Eagle Pass at 62 — a coveted reward that makes you contemplate getting a fake ID. Predictions that one in four people will be over 65 by 2039 means that seniors are everywhere. Sometimes, you can identify these individuals as the ones who are a little grayer, a little slower and wearing a sweater in 85-degree weather. But don’t be fooled, sometimes they are the most tech savvy people in the room. You may even find yourself talking to one. So what is a senior citizen? Not us, of course. As Associate Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., who was 90 when he retired from the Supreme Court in 1932, once said: “Old is 15 years older than I am now.”
Do you remember “Darkness Darkness” by the Youngbloods? “Darkness darkness, be my pillow. Take my head and let me sleep. In the coolness of your shadow. In the silence of your deep.” At this time of the day, at this time of the year, the neighborhood is silent. I am sure the mall is hopping, and
downtown Denver is crawling. But in this little territory, all I hear are the sounds that I make. I might feel differently if I had a 4-yearold and a 5-year-old. Then the darkness and the closeness might not be so poetic and profound. But I don’t. It’s really perfect. And I always want to

missed.” Parker also gained a large following, when after being diagnosed with breast cancer, she shared her experience through her column. “She really struck a chord with readers because all of us had a personal connection to someone who fought cancer,” Henry said. When the Rocky Mountain News closed in 2009, she moved back to the Denver Post as a business columnist until being laid off in 2012, Henry said. Parker continued writing her “On the Town” column for the society website blacktie-colorado.com until 2014. This
past year, Henry said, she worked in retail sales for Macy’s and Dillard’s with occasional freelance work in public relations, marketing and writing. An avid Denver Broncos fan, Parker also loved her dogs, friends and playing golf and was passionate about cooking and dining out, her friend, Aiello, said. In lieu of flowers, Parker’s family asks that donations be sent to her favorite charities: Sense of Security, www.senseofsecurity.org, which provides financial help to breast cancer patients; Denver
Dumb Friends League, www.ddfl.org; or The First Tee of Denver, www.thefirstteeofdenver.com. Once competitors but always friendly, Knox and Parker ended up working for The Denver Post together as columnists — he covering retail, she writing about general business. “Penny never gave up on life’s work as a teller of stories ...,” Knox said. “She reveled in it, even though the business changed on all of us.”

Public Highway Authority selected a new executive director to replace John McCuskey, who announced in October his plan to retire from E-470 at the end of the year. The E-470 board has chosen Timothy E. “Tim” Stewart, the executive director of the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority, to serve as E-470’s new executive director. He will assume his position the week of Feb. 1. Stewart has been with the OTA for 31 years, starting as a maintenance worker and working his way up within the organization. He became the OTA’s deputy director and chief operating officer in 2005 and was promoted to executive director in April 2013. “We are very pleased we can fill the position with Tim Stewart,” said Brighton Mayor Dick McLean, who serves as E-470’s board chair. “His extensive toll road experience makes him a good choice to take the reins from John McCuskey, one of the most accomplished leaders in the global tolling industry.” Before taking his executive director role with OTA, Stewart held director positions over patron services, maintenance, planning and operations, and was deputy director and chief operating officer.

Back to the roots with natural childbirth Many women in the south metro area choose to use midwives
WHAT IS A CERTIFIED NURSE MIDWIFE? Certified nurse midwives are registered nurses who have obtained a master’s degree in nursing and specialize in women’s health. They have passed a national certification exam and must renew their certification every eight years.
By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Claire Reifert became pregnant with her first child, she knew she would follow in her mother’s footsteps with natural childbirth. And in April 2014, she gave birth to her son with the help of a midwife at a birthing center in Englewood. “One of my favorite things about seeing the midwives,” said Reifert, an engineer who lives in Centennial, “is they are scientific-based and they contribute to research themselves.” But she also chose to use a midwife for the comfort factor. “Being able to have the possibility to move how you want to move, and not put yourself in weird positions to fit what the medical staff wants, is important,” she said. Reifert is part of a growing trend among women nationwide who want to have natural, unmedicated childbirth. According to data from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, certified nurse midwives delivered 8 percent of all babies born in the United States in 2014. That’s up from 7.8 percent in 2013 and 7.6 percent in 2012 and 2011. A midwife is a traditional care provider for mothers and infants with expertise and skills in supporting women to maintain healthy pregnancies. In Colorado, certified nurse midwives — who can deliver babies — are licensed by the Colorado Board of Nursing. Midwives can be used in a hospital, a free-standing birth center, a doctor’s office or at home. With midwife practices becoming more common, local hospitals also are responding to that desire by partnering with certified nurse midwives and providing tools to enhance delivery, including labor balls, birth swings and birthing tubs. In the south metro area, Sky Ridge Medical Center, Castle Rock Adventist Hospital, Swedish Medical Center and
South Denver Midwives, all of whom are certified and work with Littleton and Castle Rock Adventist hospitals, for instance, provide a wide range of healthcare for women from a teenager’s first period, through pregnancy/birth/post-partum, and extending into menopause.

Littleton Adventist Hospital staff certified nurse midwives. “We are committed to really doing what it takes to make sure those midwife patients have a good experience,” said Jacque Northrup, birth concierge at Castle Rock Adventist Hospital, adding that about 30 percent of women who give birth at Castle Rock Adventist have an unmedicated and natural experience. In 2013, 308,221 babies nationwide were born with the assistance of a midwife in a hospital, the CDC reported. But although the trend seems new, certified nurse midwife Aubre Tompkins, of Mountain Midwifery in Englewood, says midwifery and community birthing, as she calls it, is actually the standard — the original way. Giving birth in hospitals, she says, only became mainstream in the 1930s and ’40s. “What’s happening now is things are coming back to the traditional route,” Tompkins said. “Many families are rediscovering community birthing, and I think it’s wonderful.”
Tompkins’ birthing center, which opened in 2006, has been home to more than 2,000 births and has seen a steady rise in patients over the past year. “One of the reasons is because thinking about choice is becoming more prevalent in the broader culture,” Tompkins said. “It’s very normal for families to not do a lot of investigating and just go to the doctor their friend or mom went to. Now, there is a lot more messaging about the value of thinking about your birth and what your immediate start as parents looks like.” As a midwife, she serves a dual purpose, Tomkins said. The first is to offer psychological and physical support. The other is to clinically make sure mother and baby are safe and healthy. One tool midwives use to make mothers comfortable is the birthing pool. “The water is amazing,” Tompkins said, noting that 50 percent of mothers at her facility give birth in the pool. “Hydrotherapy provides physical relief. The
big thing is that it helps people relax in between contractions. During labor, you need to relax and let it happen.” For Reifert, the experience with her son went so well she plans to give birth to her second child in June with the help of a midwife. Not all mothers who choose midwifery initially know that’s the route they want to take. “I don’t think I really thought much of natural delivery before reading about it,” said Jennifer Eckert, of Aurora, who delivered her first child naturally in 2012. “As I did more research, I got more concerned about having to go to a hospital and loved the idea of letting things happen in their own time and natural course.” When it comes down to it, the person who is the real expert is the one who is pregnant, Tomkins said: She knows her body and what feels right. “I really want to involve them in their care,” she said of mothers-to-be. “That’s one of the hallmarks of midwifery care.”

Albums that made a difference in 2015 Music has always reflected the times, so it’s fitting the best releases of the year are searching, personal works that defy compartmentalization in any particular genre. Following are the albums that had the biggest impact on me over the past 12 months. They provided comfort, posed questions and served as solid ground in a tumultuous year of widespread violence and social change. A year that reminded us at every stop to never take for granted the most important things in life. We can only hope the music of 2016 lives up to this year. Here’s my best of the best:
1. “To Pimp A Butterfly” - Kendrick Lamar Lamar captured 2015 in 80 sprawling minutes — at times violent, transformative, harrowing and beautiful. Lamar went beyond hip-hop, exploding the genre’s sonic palette through the incorporation of funk, acid jazz and come-to-Jesus gospel into his music. The sheer scope of Lamar’s lyrical insights is astounding. From the new civil rights anthem “Alright,” to the vitriol (both outward and inward) of “The Blacker the Berry,” he covered all the bases and made it look easy. He also created President Obama’s favorite song of the year by breathing fire into a tired cliché on “How Much A Dollar Cost.” Music didn’t get any more vibrant or vital. 2. “I Love You, Honeybear” - Father John Misty The funniest, bitterest and wisest album about the trials of love in a long time, Josh Tillman (the real name of Father John Misty) created a masterpiece for romantics — secret, hopeless and everyone in between.
Clarke Reader
LINER NOTES
Although Tillman created a persona to give him a little distance on the album, “Honeybear” still ends up being a startlingly intimate story about falling in love with his now wife. He channels the wit and hidden romance of Randy Newman, Harry Nilsson and Tom Waits while sounding unlike any other artist. To know what modern romance sounds like, check out this album: Tillman delivered a dissertation on the subject.
3. “E•MO•TION” - Carly Ray Jepsen After creating one of the century’s biggest pop hits with “Call Me Maybe,” Jepsen disappeared for three years, and people began to write her off as a one hit wonder. But one listen to “E•MO•TION” demonstrates why she was so quiet: she was busy crafting a pop masterpiece, the kind of knock-you-out, kick-down-the-door, hit machine that completely blasts away any who try to resist its charms. This is what musical joy sounds like. Music snobs, consider yourself on notice — this thing goes from start to finish, and if you have a problem with pop perfection, get over it. Jepsen can’t be stopped. 4. “Surf” - Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment The best soul and jazz album wrapped into one shining whole, “Surf” is home to perhaps the happiest and

most hopeful music of the year. The Social Experiment is a group of Chicago musicians formed and led by Chance the Rapper, who broke into the rap scene on his 2013 mixtape “Acid Rap.” Here, Chance demonstrates how visionary he is — he’s not bound just by rap and is looking to bring other genres into his orbit. “Surf” is relentlessly positive. From the affirmations of “Wanna Be Cool” to the encouragement of “Slip Slide,” it’s an album to make you feel good. Press play and let it. 5. “Beauty Behind the Madness” - The Weeknd Dark, mysterious, sexy. That about describes the music Abel Tesfaye creates as The Weeknd, and he’s built a pop album that filters this worldview through Michael Jackson’s knack for writing hooks. Tesfaye isn’t searching for love. Any affection in his world is physical, flammable and fleeting. The deepest he feels is the desire that the women he meets find someone they can love — because it sure won’t be him. It’s escapism and sounds fantastic coming out of any speaker. Tesfaye produced the soundtrack for the Tinder world, where love is just a swipe away. For a night.

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Winners of the 2016 Commissioner’s Choice Award at Lone Tree Arts Center have been announced: Diane Cornish and Cindy Welch. The two painters will present a show called “Explosion of Color” at LTAC from Jan. 8 through March 4, with art available for sale. A reception for the duo will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 22. Diane Cornish was born in Chicago and showed an early inclination toward art. “No surface was safe from Crayola markings,” says her website bio. Her childhood was nomadic, and she lived in Arizona, Oregon, California, Hawaii and, eventually, Colorado, which continues to be her home. Her background includes the persona of Ollie the clown, courtroom artist for the Douglas County News-Press, political cartoonist and art teacher for 28 years. Her main emphasis is on watercolor, although she also has a passion for photography and paints from her own photographs of nature. “When I am outside with my camera, I see paintings everywhere,” she wrote. She is a member of the Castle Rock Art Guild, with work exhibited at the Art on the Edge Gallery, 414 Wilcox in Castle Rock. She also belongs to the Arizona Art Alliance and Casa Grande Valley Fine Arts Association and exhibits with both. Cindy Welch, of Castle Rock, started winning awards for her art as a high school student, including a full tuition scholarship to Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, where she majored in commercial art and developed a special interest in watercolor.
“Castle Rock and Pikes Peak,” a watercolor by Cindy Welch, is included in the Commissioner’s Choice exhibit “Explosion of Color” from Jan. 8 to March 4 at Lone Tree Arts Center. Courtesy photos Her first job at a Denver design studio involved layout and design, with pen and ink and airbrush. She also drew architectural renderings for several builders — a skill that shows today in her series of paintings of Castle Rock’s scenery and historic buildings, which are available for sale as prints from Colorado Art and Framing Gallery. She is a member of the Castle Rock Art Guild and exhibits at Art on the Edge Gallery. She publishes four community newsletters and operates a community website called CastleRockBound.net, which has information on events, businesses and where to sled in Castle Rock.

Nancy Begley is ‘Mary Poppins’ Musical comes to PACE Center stage Jan. 15-31 By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Nancy Begley was familiar with the P.L. Travers book and with the movie, but of her lead role in PACE Center’s Jan. 15-31 production of “Mary Poppins” she said, “It’s a dream I didn’t know I had — it’s really exciting. Two months prior to the auditions, I knew I wanted to play the role, and spent lots of time with the Disney Studio study guides. They included information on dialogues and accents. I learned about 90 percent. I grew up as a dancer so standing in first position (as in ballet) is not a stretch.” The posture, accent and no-nonsense behavior were easy to manage. “Like Mary, I have a lot of very specific views about how kids should be, about how families should be… We rehearse at the Parker Mainstreet Center. It’s fun being part of my community.” She has lived in Parker for eight years and is a Colorado native. Begley graduated from Metropolitan State University with a BFA in musical theatre and has been recognized by the Denver Lyric Opera Guild, Rocky Mountain Theatre Association and Broadway World, and she has played in a number of musicals — most recently as Anita in “West Side Story.” She is a vice president at a metroarea bank by day. “I come from a financial family,” she said (it pleases her that Mr. Banks, the father in the play, is a banker). On a personal note, she said, “I graduated in 2008 at 250 pounds and with my weight-loss journey, these kinds of roles are now possible for me.” Readers may recall that Mary Poppins arrives at the Banks’ home, 17 Cherry Street Lane, London, by flying

with her parrot-handled umbrella. That entailed some flying lessons at the CU Opera Shop, Begley said. Bert has to fly too, and he has to go upside down. A harness has been custom made for each of them. “I’d trust them with my life,” Begley said of the technicians. “Mary Poppins” is a collaboration between PACE Center and Inspire Creative Theatre Company. Gary Lewis is the show’s director and has said that Begley is “an incredibly talented artist.” During the three-hour show, the audience can expect well-known songs such as “Spoonful of Sugar” and “Let’s Go Fly a Kite,” as well as the familiar chimney sweep dance sequence. Begley said that Levi Hirsch (Michael Banks) and Regan Fenske ( Jane Banks) “are the best child performers I’ve ever worked with.” Mary and the kids will be in the lobby after the show to interact with kids in the audience, she said. “Performing brings me joy — being part of something so magical … and seeing joy on faces of kids in the audience,” Begley said.

Overcoming pitfalls of New Year’s fitness goals Going back to the gym can be intimidating for some By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com For many, a new year means a new you. Some 44 percent of Americans make a New Year’s resolution, according to a 2013 study by Pew Research Center. Of that group, 12 percent say they want to exercise more and 11 percent want to lose weight. If you are trying to get back in shape in 2016, or just starting to work out for the first time, the road to better health can be fraught with potential pitfalls. From gym intimidation, to staying on track or finding the right routine, heading into the gym can be easier said then done. “I know some people get a little frustrated — the regulars who come year-round — that we get a big influx of people coming at the start of the new year,” said Kelsey Whisler, fitness supervisor at Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial. “I just hope those people will be welcoming and remember the first time they started coming to the gym and how intimidating it can be.” Whisler suggests group classes as a way of easing back into fitness. “If you have a friend who has been working out, go work out with them,” Whisler said. “They will show you the ropes and make you feel comfortable and help you get through that gym culture.” Sharise Plescia, a personal trainer at Lone Tree Recreation Center, said accountability and consistency are keys to seeing results. “One thing I tell people when I’m working with them is hold yourself accountable for your health regimen,” said Plescia. “So whether you use a calendar or a watch or iPad — or however you keep track of things — make sure you schedule in some fitness time every day. It doesn’t have to be vigorous. If you know you have a full day of work, kids, whatever it is, and you only have 10 minutes, guess what? Ten minutes is better than nothing. You can make your
A group of seniors works out together at the Lone Tree Recreation Center. Committing to fitness with a group of friends helps members stay accountable, several fitness instructors say. Photos by Mike DiFerdinando workouts as vigorous as you would like in these 10 minutes.” It’s also important to start low and go slow with new routines, said Hillary Roemersberger, fitness and wellness supervisor at Parker Recreation Center. “Many beginners make the mistake of starting out too aggressively and end up tired, sore or injured,” Roemersberger said. “When people go out too hard they tend not to stick with their workouts over an extended period of time. Develop new habits that you can stick with.” Friends Francene Rose and Barbara Feuerstein work out regularly at Lone Tree Recreation center with a group of friends. That camaraderie helps keep them invested in keeping fit. “You have to have someone you are accountable to, not just a trainer, but a group of friends or family,” Rose said. “If I don’t show up, they come looking for me.”

Tips for sticking with HEALTH GOALS
Category: Motivation Tip: Music can make a difference What they said: “Find a playlist that makes you feel like a superhero, then spend the time you work out thinking you’re that superhero,” Palmer said. “Have you ever seen Batman quit?”
Category: Stress Tip: Meditate What they said: “One of the biggest saboteurs of a healthy lifestyle is stress,” said Sharise Plescia, a personal trainer at Lone Tree Recreation Center. “I teach Tai Chi. It’s for all ages and its one way of helping you avoid that stress zone where everything goes out the window. When you’re stressed that’s when the diet goes bad, or you’re too stressed to even work out. Adding in some kind of meditation, even daily meditation, whether you do it at home or come to a club, you really need that. You need a good healthy balance in your life. That is what is really going to help keep you on your fitness goals and maintain them.”
Category: Routine Tip: Take it slow What they said: “I think people get so gung ho and say, ‘It’s Jan. 1, I have to start working out. I’m going to do six days a week,’ and that’s too much,” said Kelsey Whisler, fitness supervisor at Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial. “It’s too overwhelming. If you haven’t been working out, try one day per week. Be reasonable and be gentle with yourself. You’re going to eat some chocolate cake at some point and that’s OK.”

Category: Recovery Tip: Stretching and diet are key What they said: “Stretching and recovery days are OK as needed. Your body needs time to rehydrate, realign newly-formed muscle fibers and clear debris occasionally,” said Steven Palmer, a personal trainer and strength and conditioning specialist at Parker Recreation Center. “Keep your water bottle with you and rest when needed. Drink a lot of water. Understand that 80 percent of the weight loss battle is fought at the table and 20 percent in the gym. You can work out really hard, but if you aren’t fueling your body right you won’t see the results you want.”
Category: Senior fitness Tip: Stay active What they said: “They can come in, take a class, play bridge, talk, just stay active. The more exercise they get, the better off they are going to be. That’s the key to longevity and quality of life,” said Peggy Golden, fitness coordinator for Lone Tree Recreation Center. “Always let your instructor know or come in and consult with someone and let them know you are new to a program, or you have an ailment of some sort, or have had surgery or anything along those lines. Listen to your body.” Funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Breck and Bud form new bond
By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Breckenridge Brewery is being sold to Anheuser-Busch, but Breck’s founders want folks in Littleton to know that they’re not deserting the city so soon after celebrating its grand opening last summer. “Of course, the same great team who helped build Breckenridge Brewery won’t be going anywhere,” Todd Usry, president, said on the company’s website. “We’ll continue to own decisions about the beers we create and the ingredients in them. … I hope you will give us the chance to prove to you over time that we will continue to be Breckenridge Brewery.” When Breckenridge opened on the banks of the South Platte River last summer, it brought 60 to 75 jobs and a boost to the city’s sales-tax revenue. People were particularly excited the players were local, and that the site itself was in keeping with the rural feel of the riverside. “Our brewery was born and raised in Colorado,” said Usry at the time. “We have our Colorado mountain home, and soon, a Colorado country spread along the river. … How you portray yourself is a big thing in this business. It was just perfect.” But now, the brewery and the Farm House restaurant on Santa Fe Drive will belong to Anheuser-Busch InBev, headquartered in Leuven, Belgium. The company’s American arm, Anheuser-Busch, operates 17 local breweries, 21 distributorships and 23 agricultural and packaging facilities across the United States. Its flagship brewery, best known for the Budweiser brand, is in St. Louis. Breckenridge will be the seventh craft brewery to join The High End, Anheuser-
Busch’s business unit of craft and import brands like Stella Artois and Shock Top. But Usry insists the company will maintain its own identity. “What people relate to in this industry is authenticity,” he said. “If there were plans to come in and change our employees, our culture, and our recipes, well, that would completely undermine the reason for the partnership at all. What this new partnership does offer us is access to resources that will help us continue to innovate and bring our beer to more people.” With its brand already available in 35 states, Breckenridge Brewery, founded in 1990, was on track to sell about 70,000 barrels of beer in 2015. It ranks as the 50th largest craft brewery in the nation, according to the Brewers Association, a not-forprofit trade association. “Breckenridge Brewery has a long history of innovation, and they continue to brew new and exciting beers, from their specialty brews like the Mountain Series that celebrates the brewery’s origin as a ski-town brewpub, to their planned nitro can series,” said Andy Goeler, CEO of The High End. “They are innovative and have built an amazing business that’s enabled them to get their great beers to fans across the country.” The deal includes the Littleton facility and the original brewpub in Breckenridge, but not the other establishments owned by Breckenridge-Wynkoop: Ale House at Amato’s in Denver, Breckenridge Ale House in Grand Junction, Breckenridge Colorado Craft in Denver, The Cherry Cricket in Denver, Mainline in Fort Collins, Phantom Canyon Brewing Co. in Colorado Springs and Wynkoop Brewing Co. in Denver. The deal, announced Dec. 22, is expected to close in the first quarter of this year, “subject to customary closing conditions,” according to a news release. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Grasslands programs take root Offerings part of partnership with Denver Botanic Gardens
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com In 2015, the Plains Conservation Center engaged more than 10,000 students in its mission of educating as many people as possible about the endangered grasslands here and throughout the world. In 2016, that number should expand as the Denver Botanic Gardens collaborates with the PCC in a partnership with both organizations’ education programs. It’s a natural combination since both are focused on plant science and understanding ecosystems. Both are SCFD funded. One third of the earth’s surface is grasslands, according to the PCC’s website — and 70 percent of that area is degraded. North America alone has lost 80 percent of its grasslands. This leads to climate change, floods, famine and poverty worldwide. The next generation will inherit this situation and needs to understand it. All programs will be held at the PCC’s 1,000-acre Aurora campus and will begin with class registration on Jan. 15. The new partnership will not alter the present program offerings. Included: • Prairie Perspectives: Grades 3-5. An overnight program in which children adopt the persona of an 1800s-era Cheyenne Indian and of a homesteader as they learn about the prairie ecosystem. • Day Tours: Grades 1-6. Provides students with one or a combination of three

Students engage in real field science, ranging from bird surveys to prairie dog ethnography. The programs allow kids to learn about 19th century settlers, sod houses and more. They can go on nature walks and learn about bird watching. There are also Cheyenne teepees with 1830s artifacts. The center hosts a farm-to-table dinner each season and offers free admission to those who want to walk through on their own. There are fees for the education programs. The Plains Conservation Center is also working with an additional 7,900 acres farther east, south of Strasburg on West Bijou Creek. There is a pronghorn herd there and a place to study about the extinction of dinosaurs. (Can only be accessed with a guide.) The website offers a good deal of interesting reading about how holistic range management, proper use of grazing animals, can renew the soil, countering global warming. “Find your roots in the grasslands” is the PCC invitation to all.

Motorsport regulations fuel differing views Motocross community concerned about rules; other residents want to preserve quiet By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Temporary regulations on motorsport uses on rural residential land in Douglas County have spurred a collision of competing values between county residents who want the freedom to use their land the way they want to for motorsport activities and those who want to protect the quiet, rural living environment they enjoy. “The noise can become unbearable,” Bob Spenser, a non-motorsport user, said at a recent public workshop on the issue. “Those of us that place a premium on quiet in a rural neighborhood do have some concerns.” But professional motocross racer Todd Bannister, a former Douglas County resident, talked of the importance of having a home track to practice on when he was growing up — along with the sport’s family aspect. “It has always been the greatest thing of my life,” he said. Debate on the issue has ensued since the Douglas County Board of County Commissioners on Oct. 27 placed temporary regulations on motorsport uses, while directing staff to establish permanent zoning regulations. County staff faces the challenge of preserving the visions of both sides through possible regulatory changes that clarify what motorsports activities are allowed without additional limitations and also identify a level of motorsports activities that are either prohibited or subject to additional land-use regulations. According to Jeanette Bare, planning manager for the Douglas County Department of Community Development, clear regulations didn’t exist before the October decision. “There were some citizens that approached the board requesting clarification on when motorsports activities were allowed on rural properties,” Bare said. “There have been complaints and discussion on it in the past and the board felt it was time to clarify what the limits on the uses were.” Those residents worry about noise, visual and environmental impact of such activities. Under the temporary regulations, motorsports activities are allowed for personal use by a property owner in rural zone districts on land with a residence in place. Also allowed are off-road vehicles used for agricultural or land management purposes. But commercial or club activities are prohibited. The intent of regulations is not to restrict

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
WORDS TO KNOW
Motorsports are allowed as an accessory — or additional — use without further regulation on land where a residence is established on a minimum of 4.5 acres.
Motorsports: The operation of motor vehicles, motorcycles, off-highway vehicles, and/or snowmobiles for practice, education, recreation or competition.
Motorsports facilities for private use are allowed on land where a residence is established on a minimum of 9 acres, with approval. Noise limits have been established by the State of Colorado, and Douglas County cannot apply more stringent standards. The established noise limits are 96 decibels for vehicles produced after 1998 and 55 decibels 25 feet beyond a property boundary in the daytime. Possible facility limitations include people from riding on their lots, Bare said, but more to provide a way to deal with the proposal of formal tracks or facilities. Those who already have tracks on their land are grandfathered in and there is no restriction against riding on private property that does not have a track. “What residents are questioning now is
minimum setbacks to provide an adequate separation for noise mitigation; maximum use area to limit site disturbance; maximum track lengths to limit site disturbance and potential noise impacts; and site plans to depict the proposed facility, grading and any visual buffering or screening. Possible operational limitations include: hours of operation, including times of day; total number of hours per day and days per year; the maximum number of riders allowed at one time and per day; and vehicle type or limit on engine size. certain motorsports facilities that are of a nature or scale that they aren’t accessory anymore — they are beginning to look more commercial or club in nature,” Bare said. At a Dec. 9 public workshop — the first of several planned on the issue — residents spoke specifically about concerns with a
Motorsports facility: A facility consisting of a continuous track specifically designed for motorsports vehicle use as its exclusive or primary function, which includes one or more artificially created obstacles such as jumps, loops, barriers, hurdles, moguls, and bridges and which requires more than 50 cubic yards of grading, erosion and sediment control. Motorsports, accessory: Operation of motorsports vehicles for personal use where any onsite improvements do not constitute a motorsports facility. Motorsports facility, private: A facility which is intended for personal use. Motorsports facility, public: A facility which is generally open to members of the public or a motorsports club.

Local players shine in numbers game It’s true that many times the most valuable player on a basketball team doesn’t have gaudy statistics, but it’s still meaningful to highlight a few of the state individual leaders from games played before the holiday break. Kolton Peterson of Lakewood is the fifth-leading boys scorer in Class 5A with a 21.8 scoring average, according to a list compiled by maxpreps.com, a website dedicated to high school sports. Ralston Valley’s Antonio Capley is second in rebounding with an average of 11.5 a game and ranks just ahead of Mountain Vista’s Jake Belknapp and Dallas Walton of Arvada West, who have pulled down 11.3 rebounds a game. Mountain Vista’s Isaac Essien is the state’s 5A assist leader with an average of 7.4 a game. Arapahoe’s Joseph Kleeman is second in steals with 3.1 a game. Valor Christian’s Jeremy Randle leads all Class 4A 3-point shooters as he has connected on 53 percent of his attempts, while Ponderosa’s Derek Hansen is second with a 51-percent shooting accuracy from long range.
In 5A girls scoring statistics, Pomona’s Ashley Madden is scoring 26.5 points a game to rank second in the state. Ralston Valley Ashley Van Sickle is the state leader with 7.3 assists per game and is second in steals with Jim Benton a 4.7 average. Jaz’myne Sipes OVERTIME of ThunderRidge is Colorado’s secondleading 5A rebounder with 11 per game while Lutheran senior Kristen Vigil is tops in 3A steals with 5.3 per game and is second with 5.7 assists. Faith Christian’s Makena Long is the 3A statistical leader by making 50 percent of her 3-point attempts.
24 players who will be selected this spring to be on the Under-15 Boys national soccer team. Anderson, who plays for Real Colorado, was one of 48 players invited to the national camp last September and he was among the 36 players to take part in the final team camp Dec. 13-20 in Sunrise, Florida. In the December camp there were 32 players, including Anderson, from the U.S. Soccer Development Academy at the U14 level and four nondevelopment players. “It was a great feeling when I first got the email to come back for the second camp,” said Anderson. “It was great to know all the work has paid off and I had another chance to prove myself in front of all the coaches. “The second time was a lot calmer because I knew a lot of the kids that came back from the first camp. I was more familiar with everyone. I just played like I usually play and let my play show for itself.”
Eye on the national team Sebastian Anderson, an eighth-grader at Ranch View Middle School in Highlands Ranch, has his sights set on being one of the
Wrestling rankings Week three of the “On the Mat” rankings have been released, and Pomona looks like the team to beat in Class 5A.
The Panthers are No. 1 in Tim Yount’s Class 5A team rankings, with Legacy third, Ponderosa fifth and Chaparral 11th. Yount, Colorado’s wrestling guru, has a full-time job but has been compiling weekly individual and team rankings for the past 22 years after examining results. Four Pomona individual wrestlers are No. 1 heading into the new year. Justin Pacheco (113 pounds), Tomas Guiterrez (120), Theorius Robison (126) and 145-pounder Jason Romero top the rankings. Mosha Schwartz of Ponderosa is the topranked 106-pounder, Legacy’s Ryan Deakin is first at 138 pounds and Cherry Creek’s Matt Finesilver is No. 1 at 152 pounds. Other wrestlers who are ranked No. 1 included Jared Todd of Heritage (160), Chaparral’s Dawson Cranmer (170), Legacy’s Matt Hebel (182), Mountain Vista’s Trent Schultz (195 pounds) and Cohlton Schultz of Ponderosa (220). Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media. He has been covering sports in the Denver area since 1968. He can be reached at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com or at 303-566-4083.

having any food and they have some pretty crazy stories about living in Haiti and the horrific conditions,” Mardi said. “They remember how bad things were, so they keep things in perspective and help everyone in our family keep perspective.”

her at the Ketchum home in Basalt. CJ, an avid runner and cross-country skier, is studying in an advanced private school in Branson, Missouri. One of Mardi’s sons from her first marriage, Zac Paris, 31, is a ski instructor and organic farmer living in Aspen. The other, Cody Paris, 32, is an associate professor at Middlesex University in Dubai.
A school that ‘felt like home’ In April 2014, Ketchum, also CEO and owner of Aspen Basketball Academy, a summer program that takes teams to play in Europe, stepped away from high school coaching because he wanted to spend more time with his family. He mentored his son’s competitive basketball teams during the 2014-15 season. But “I could tell he was getting a little antsy,” said Mardi. “I told him to go find another job. It came up on the Front Range.” Denver offered more opportunities at higher-level coaching, Ketchum said. “Pondo was the first place I interviewed,” he said. “I just fell in love with Tim Ottmann, the athletic director. The school felt like home. This felt like family.” Ottmann knows he hired the right person to run the Mustangs basketball program. “Coach K and I share many of the same coaching values,” he said. “His incredible knowledge of the game and work ethic have already had a huge impact on our boys basketball program. Our players now believe they can win and carry that confidence into every game.” After more than 10 years of losing seasons, the Mustangs are 6-2 heading into the new year.
Distance from family ‘tugs at heart strings’ Ketchum traveled home during Christmas break but won’t return for good until after the Ponderosa basketball season. He admits it’s not easy living apart from his family.
The Ketchum family poses for a picture during the holiday break. In the back row, from left, are Zac Paris, Steve Ketchum, Mardi Ketchum and Cody Paris. In the front row, from left, are King Ketchum, Cory Ketchum, Rocky Ketchum, Dre’ Ketchum and CJ Ketchum. Courtesy photo “It tugs at my heart strings every day not to be with the boys,” he said. “I think about them every day and try to call the boys every single night and talk to each one of them, tell them I love them and ask how their day went, what’s going on at school and sports and their teams.” The distance isn’t easy for the boys, either. “It’s pretty tough because I really miss my Dad helping me and working with me,” said King, 14, originally from Haiti. “It’s harder when he’s not here or I’m not with him.” Ten-year-old Dre’, adopted through the Denver foster care system, agreed. “The fact that there are a lot of pictures with Dad and us together around the house helps a little,” he said, “but it’s not the same as having him here. I miss him. We have fun together.” Building a family Ketchum met Mardi 16 years ago, when she was a single mom and he was coaching her sons in basketball. They married in 2003
and soon after began expanding their family. From the Denver foster care system, they adopted CJ, who is 15 and a high school freshman; Cory, CJ’s younger brother, who is 14 and in eighth grade; and Dre’, who is in fourth grade. King and Rocky, 11, were evacuated from Haiti following the 2010 earthquake. It took a year because of government red tape, but they became members of the Ketchum clan in January 2011. “They all act like brothers — they fight like brothers and they love like brothers,” Mardi said. “The best thing is they all have somebody to play with. If they are not getting along with one brother, they go to another’s room and play with someone else. It’s kind of like having a big slumber party because they are always shifting into each other’s room.” Living in Aspen was an adjustment for the Haitian boys, who had to learn the English language. “They were 6 and 9 when we got them, so they remembered the earthquake — not
Juggling two worlds At a Ponderosa basketball practice before the holiday break, Ketchum constantly interacted with his players, demonstrating techniques, yelling encouragement, applauding good moves. “I tell my players every day, ‘Thank you for saving my marriage,’” Ketchum said jokingly. “‘I can yell at you, get it all out, and I can go home and relax.’” But Ketchum doesn’t yell much. And he seems to be enjoying coaching at the high school level again. “At times, he gets intense, but other times he’s really mellow,” said team captain Derek Hansen, a junior. “You can go talk to him one-on-one as a player. ...He opens up and he actually likes it when you go talk to him and ask him questions outside of practice. We are playing with more confidence, and as a team we trust each other more.” Hansen said players are aware of Ketchum’s big family. “He’s actually got two of (his sons) with him now,” Hansen pointed out during a post-Christmas practice attended by Rocky and Dre’. Ketchum isn’t sure how long the family’s long-distance situation will last. He believes three of his sons have the ability earn athletic scholarships in football or basketball and said the competition in the Denver area could help them. “The plan is for me to be here long term,” he said. “But I’ll have to do what is best for our family.” That could mean eventually moving the family to Douglas County because of its good schools, he said. But for now, Ketchum juggles his two worlds. “I love spending time with the boys and coaching them,” he said of his sons. “But I missed coaching at a high level. Ponderosa was a perfect fit.”
Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF JAN. 4, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A hectic period begins to wind down. Take time to draw some deep breaths and relax before getting into your next project. A long-absent family member makes contact. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re eager to move forward with a new challenge that suddenly dropped in your lap. But you’d be wise to take this one step at a time to allow new developments to come through. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re almost ready to make a commitment. A lingering doubt or two, however, should be resolved before you move ahead. An associate could provide important answers. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Caution is still the watchword as you move closer toward a decision about a new situation. If you act too fast, you might miss some vital warning signs. Go slowly and stay alert. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your new goal looks promising, and your golden touch does much to enhance its prospects for success. In your private life, Cupid does his best to make your new relationship special. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) That impatient side of yours is looking to goad you into moving before you’re ready to take that big step. Stay calm and cool. Let things fall into place before you act. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A legal matter you hoped could finally be settled could be a pesky problem for a while, until all the parties agree to stop disagreeing with each other. Be patient. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Partnerships -- personal or professional -- which began before the new year take on new importance. They also reveal some previously hidden risks. So be warned. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your associates are firmly on your side, and that persistent problem that has caused you to delay some activities should soon be resolved to your satisfaction.
