Shanahan awarded ‘Fire in the Gut’ honor
Youth Congress teams teens with area civic leaders STAFF REPORT

To the tune of AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck,” five retired Navy SEALs parachuted down to Centennial Airport to kick off the 2018 Navy SEAL Foundation’s Denver Evening of Tribute. The banquet, held Aug. 16, raised more than $800,000 in support of the Naval Special Warfare Community and its families, according to a news release. Former Denver Broncos’ coach Mike Shanahan was awarded the “Navy Seal Foundation’s Fire in the Gut Award,” an honor given to a person or organization displaying the “all-in” quality of serving military families. The award was presented by Nan and Eric Korts, parents of Special Operator, Third Class (SEAL) Jason Dunbar Korts, who was killed in a training accident. Jason Korts was from
Highlands Ranch and died in 2015 in a training accident in Southwest Riverside County in California. “So when I talk to you tonight, I talk to you from a background of football, but I guarantee you the success that I’ve experienced is because of the standards the people in this room have set up,” Shanahan said. “So for me, accepting this great honor tonight and being asked to speak to a group like this, to a team like this and to the people that are here tonight — thank you,” Shanahan continued. “To the people that support the Navy SEALs, I can’t thank you enough.” He then thanked the team of people in attendance and the people who support the Navy SEALs. Master Chief Special Warfare Operator (SEAL) Ed Byers, recipient of the Medal of Honor, then paid respect to 152 Naval Special Warfare members who died since Sept. 11, 2001. Master Chief Special Warfare Operator (SEAL) Britt Slabinski, USN, (retired), also a Medal of Honor recipient, was the evening’s keynote speaker. “The reason this community

According to its website, the Navy SEAL Foundation supports personnel and their families and preserves the Naval Special Warfare force through a set of programs designed to improve health and welfare, enhance resiliency, educate families and provide support during times of illness, injury, loss or transition.

High school students looking for a legislative leadership opportunity are invited to apply for Youth Congress. The program unites high school students from around Douglas County with area civic leaders, giving teens an opportunity to learn how the legislative process works. “Youth Congress is the perfect opportunity for students to have their voices heard and see that they can make a difference through collaborative problem solving and the sharing of ideas,” County Commissioner Lora Thomas said in a news release. “It’s a chance to work side by side with area civic leaders and potentially influence local and statewide public policy impacting youth.” Each year, the topics change for attendees but the constant is that the issues are ones that affect the lives of Douglas County youths. The program is about teenagers trying to solve teenager problems and helping find creative solutions for topics such as behavioral health, teen drug and alcohol abuse and more. Students and legislators will work in groups of 10 students and three civic leaders, who will include county employees, local legislators and town council members. Groups will share their ideas and present them at the end of the day. Online registration is now open for this year’s Youth Congress, which will take place from 8:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Sept. 24 at the state Capitol, 200 E. Colfax Ave., Denver. Lunch will be provided and buses from Legend High School and Highlands Ranch High School will be available for those needing transportation to and from the event. For information and to apply, go to www.douglas. co.us/community/partners-and-providers/youthinitiative/youth-congress/, or contact Marsha Alston, Youth Services Program Manager at malston@douglas.co.us or 303-814-5327. Youth Congress is one of three cornerstones of the Douglas County Youth Initiative, which also offers the Douglas County Youth Awards and the Wraparound program.

The Parker Town Council unanimously approved a motion to annex a portion of land at Parker Road and Stroh Road during its Aug. 20 meeting. The annexation agreement is preliminary to the town’s plans to develop the area into a town center surrounding the Stroh and Parker intersection. The annexed area is 14.7 acres on the southeast corner of the intersection. The property is known as Parker Pointe and will consist of Modified Commercial and Open Space zoning designations. The project narrative, posted on the town’s website, parkeronline.org, reports that two of the 15 lots are going to be mixed-use buildings, such as fast food, hotel, day care, convenience store or auto service. The properties surrounding the other three corners of the intersection are all currently zoned for Modified Commercial. The planning commission’s report stated this development is in response to growth in the town.

Meadows and Southlands malls. Parker is a town that draws much of its revenue from sales tax. “We’re dedicated to having a thriving business community because that’s what allows us to have everything else,” Mayor Mike Waid said. Infrastructure construction can begin by this year, according to Paul Workman, the town’s senior planner. The town council typically makes the decision whether or not to allow a property owner to annex into the town, based on what the developer plans to do with the land. The south end of the property will be designated as 1.04 acres of open space to preserve the floodplain and the Preble’s jumping mouse, an endangered species. The annexation approval followed a lengthy public comment period, when some residents brought up concerns about the ensuing treatment of wildlife that inhabit the area. Residents asked town council how it plans to deal with the wildlife, like prairie dogs, pronghorns and the jumping mouse on the annexed
property. Some requested the council reconsider its plans to preserve the space and its wildlife, while others were concerned about the way the prairie dogs would be disposed. In response, the Parker Town Council said the treatment of the prairie dogs, once Mike Waid, the plan moved forward, would mayor of Parker be, by state law, in the hands of Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Colorado Parks and Wildlife has concluded prairie dogs are not an endangered or threatened species. The department reported the species needs to be better managed in the state, and encouraged avoiding the need to list them as endangered or threatened. Amanda Steinhauser, a Parker resident, spoke at the town council meeting. She said the town should be proactive in finding a solution for a treatment of wildlife on new properties like this instead of deferring to the CPW. “It just doesn’t seem like there’s any regulation to protect this area,” she said. “It hasn’t been developed yet, so it’s not too late.”
“We’re dedicated to having a thriving business community because that’s what allows us to have everything else.”

Swim Across America makes waves at Chatfield More than 250 people turned out to participate in the event set up to fight cancer BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Lauren Alfino is just a little more stubborn than others. On an impossibly perfect Colorado day, hundreds of swimmers prepared for a dip in the Chatfield Reservoir Aug. 26. And Alfino, undoubtedly, would be one of them — even though she had a boot on her left foot. The story of how the 22-year-old swimmer broke her foot pretty much sums up the story of who Alfino is: highly competitive and highly stubborn. For that story, Alfino seemed fit to jump to the conclusion: “I set the world record for how fast you can go down the water slide,” she said with a laugh. Alfino, of Aurora, was not going to miss this, the inaugural Swim Across America event in Colorado. The organization “makes waves to fight cancer,” but specifically, it raises money for the local Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children’s Hospital. More than 200 swimmers from around the metro area signed up to swim a course in the reservoir southwest of Littleton at either a 5K, mile or half-mile distances. Alfino, and her broken foot, were set for the half-mile. To Alfino, the impediment was nothing. She’s proud of her stubbornness. It’s what allowed to her be there in the first place. Alfino was diagnosed with nonHodgkin’s lymphoma in 2013, a cancer that starts in white blood cells. In April of that year, her cancer was in remission. She never forgot about that struggle, event 5 1/2 years later. Now, she’s grateful any chance she gets to be in the water. “When I got diagnosed with cancer, I continued to swim throughout my entire treatment,” Alfino said. “It was nice that I had some very supportive people in my life who didn’t question me, but supported all my stubbornness.” Nicole Vanderpoel, the director of the Denver Open Water Swim, worried that if there would be one cloud in the sky during the event, it would be right above Chatfield Reservoir. Instead, Colorado’s first Swim Across America event enjoyed one of the nicest days of the summer, clear for once of smog and haze to set the stage for an event months in the making. The Denver Open Water Swim for Swim Across America raised almost $200,000 for cancer research. “We far exceeded anything we could’ve hoped for,” Vanderpoel said. “We’re overwhelmed with the support, the amount of swimmers and the sponsors. They all came through.” The Denver Open Water Swim was the first Swim Across America event in Colorado, but Vanderpoel already has her sights set on next year. “We’ve got work to do, and we are

We celebrate everyone here,” she said. “Next year, we’re just going to continue on the same path with the same goal, and that’s purely for the children.” Hot air balloons floated high above the park as swimmers filed in, eventually by the hundreds, on Chatfield’s shore. And by the masses, 95 swimmers waded into the water before beginning their three laps for the 5K swim. Among them were 16 Olympi-
ans, including Missy Franklin, the five-time Olympic gold medalist and Regis Jesuit graduate. With a beaming smile and water still dripping from her face, Franklin said meeting the children at the hospital was one of the most impactful events she had the opportunity to be part of. “Actually getting to see what all of this is about and where all of this is going…it makes me speechless,” Franklin said.

Franklin, from Centennial, said the 5K was the longest swim she’s had in Chatfield, where she swam several times as a child.

‘Gap’ construction launches after Labor Day Castle Rock is at north end of first phase of roadwork BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The long-awaited expansion project of Interstate 25 between Castle Rock and Monument, an area commonly called “the Gap,” is nearly here. Construction to widen the stretch of I-25 from two lanes in each direction to three, with the new lane being tolled, begins Sept. 4. The Colorado Department of Transportation has held community meetings to brief the public on what to expect during construction, but it left some Douglas County residents worried about ripple effects on their neighborhood. CDOT hopes widening the Gap will eliminate notorious congestion in the area and increase public safety. The project also includes adding wildlife crossings and addressing aging bridges, among other fixes, throughout the years-long project. What to expect In total there are three multi-phase “packages” of construction. Package one doesn’t wrap up until 2020 but begins this September. It spans five miles from Plum Creek Parkway in
Castle Rock to Sky View Lane, about halfway between Tomah Road and Larkspur. Here’s the plan to manage traffic while construction is underway: • Two lanes will remain open throughout the day going in each direction. • Speed limits will be reduced on I-25 from 75 mph to 65 mph in construction zones. • Any necessary lane and ramp closures will happen after peak hours, typically at night. “Our goal is to minimize impact as much as possible,” said CDOT spokeswoman Tamara Rollison. It’s imperative that drivers follow speed limits and pay attention to road signage while traveling the corridor, Rollison said. Drivers can also sign up for text and other alerts, so they know road conditions before traveling the Gap. “If they’re empowered with information they’ll be able to plan their commutes better,” Rollison said. “As long as people know what’s going on before they head out, that reduces a lot of the anxiety.” Throughout the first package of work, construction will occur in the center median during phase one, switch to the shoulders in phase two, and in phase three, switch back to the center of the roadway. Workers will construct a guardrail
to separate northbound and southbound traffic, repair wear and tear along the shoulders and build the tolled third lane. The controversial expressway won’t open in this stretch of I-25 until fall 2020. Residents weigh in Residents from El Paso and Douglas County have spoken against making the third lane tolled. Michael VanderMeulen, of Castle Rock, said he’d have preferred CDOT add one general-purpose and one toll lane to the Gap, but was overall glad the project could get underway. “I’m not necessarily a backer of tolls,” he said, “but it needed to be done.” CDOT officials fielded numerous questions related to tollways and HOV lanes in an Aug. 22 open house at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock. The tolled lane is also a carpool lane, sometimes referred to as an HOV lane, in which vehicles with three or more people can ride for free. For much of the two-hour event, John Hall, the I-25 South Gap pre-construction director, stood surrounded by local residents, many with frustrated questions about safety, congestion, the effectiveness of toll lanes and the number of required passengers for carpool lanes.
The agency maintains that an express lane ensures a reliable trip and will ease congestion, more than adding a general-purpose lane would. Patti Memsic, a Keene Ranch resident, remained unconvinced after speaking with Hall, calling the express lane CDOT’s “biggest mistake.” “It’s all about money,” she said. “By making that a toll lane, it’s not solving the problem.” But Mesmic was concerned about more than paying a toll. She was among several residents at the open house who live along West Frontage Road, which parallels I-25 from Plum Creek Parkway to Tomah Road. People use the west and east Frontage Roads in Castle Rock to bypass congestion on I-25 and speed as they do it, Mesmic said, calling it “a serious problem.” Among her concerns was how the Gap construction, which will likely lead to slower travel time on I-25, would affect those existing problems. Hall, a Monument resident, has commuted on the Gap for 15 years and knows the Frontage Road issues well, he said. Backups along I-25 often begins at the Tomah exit where drivers from Frontage Road merge onto the interstate, he said. CDOT will be staging project management sites along Frontage Road and closely monitoring the area, he said.

School board: ‘We have to pass this’ Voters will decide whether to approve bond, mill levy override BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Douglas County Board of Education recently approved two tax measures for additional funding on the November ballot. Now, the pressure is on. “To me, it would be devastating to lose this,” board member Anne-Marie Lemieux said at the Aug. 21 meeting in which the board voted to put the measures on the ballot. “It would literally be devastating.” Added board member Krista Holtzmann: “We don’t have the luxury of not passing this. We have to pass this.” Following 2 1/2 hours of impassioned pleas from teachers, bus drivers, parents and students during public comment at the meeting, the school board approved a bond and mill levy override recommended by Superintendent Thomas Tucker. A $250 million bond would address building repairs in the district, and a $40 million mill levy override would go toward teacher pay and school programs. Should voters in the county approve the tax increases, a home-
owner with a home valued at $470,00 would pay an additional $208 a year, or $17.33 a month. Peter and Maggie Bierbaum and their son Jake make up the steering committee for Bright Futures for Douglas Kids, a registered issue committee formed in April. During public comment, Maggie Bierbaum unraveled a thick stack of papers, each lined with rows of names of community members in support of the tax measures. The team collected 1,577 signatures. “Tonight we are here to show you the community calls for such a measure,” Maggie Bierbaum said. The committee will be campaigning for the bond and mill levy override leading up to the November election. The tax-measure discussion began last November, when voters elected four candidates who opposed the previous board’s reforms of the past several years — including a pay system that many said led to an exodus of teachers. Over the past eight months, school board members have stressed the need for additional funds at board meetings and work sessions. In late May, the board hired a research firm to survey 400 residents throughout the county on their views of the school district and funding. The majority of respondents indicated they would support a tax measure.
At a board meeting on Aug. 7, Tucker recommended one of three bond and mill levy override packages, put together by district staff, to the school board. The other options presented by staff were a $300 million bond and a mill levy override of $30 million or $50 million. Lemieux questioned if the amount of the bond and mill levy override would address critical needs such as internal teacher pay gaps. Tucker maintained his philosophy of “reasonable requests at reasonable intervals,” which several community members and board members said they support. “When I go home, I sleep well. I cannot sleep well if I’m asking for more money than I think we need,” Tucker said at the Aug. 21 meeting. “I want to be fair with our community. I want to be fair with our staff. My heart aches for everyone.” Ballot measures on school funding were brought before Douglas County voters in 2008 and 2011, but voters rejected them. The last time Douglas County passed a local bond or mill levy override was in 2006. Jefferson County Public Schools passed a measure in 2012 and Cherry Creek School District passed a measure in 2016. Littleton Public Schools passed a mill levy override in 2010 and a bond measure in 2013.
The difference in funding has caused inequities in teacher pay across county lines. The average teacher salary for the 2017-18 school year at Jefferson County Public Schools was $57,154, according to the Colorado Department of Education. Cherry Creek’s was $71,711 and Littleton’s was $66,399. Douglas County’s was $53,080. William Larson, principal of Ponderosa High School from 1985 to 2002, took the stand during public comment at the Aug. 21 meeting. If he were a principal today, he said, hiring the best teachers would be difficult. “Over 17 years, I shared often that I had the best high school principal job in Colorado. I had the best students, the best parents, teachers, support and school board,” he said. “Much of this changed with a new school board. They did not choose to have a bond and mill levy override when needed.” Dennis Houston, CEO of the Parker Chamber of Commerce, also took the stand to voice his overwhelming support for the tax measures. A portion of the mill levy override would go toward school programming, including vocational education. “The Douglas County business community needs career and technical education,” Houston said.

About 500 people are expected to compete in the event, and the American Eventing Association anticipates an influx of two people per rider in the town over the weekend. It is a national event, and if a rider competes in enough national competitions, he or she can qualify for international competition and the Olympics. “This is like their mini-Olympics,” said Shelley Page of the American Eventing Association. “It’s the development of horses and riders that want to go up the ranks.” Here’s five things to know about the American Eventing Championship:
Run by the United States Eventing Association, the annual championship crowns winners at all levels of the equestrian sport of eventing. The USEA organizes eventing competitions suited to an individual’s skill level. Eventing is a sport where horse and rider compete across three fields: Dressage (a series of memorized, predetermined movements); cross-country (a speed, endurance and jumping demonstration where horse and rider clear obstacles in a measure of speed and training); and show jumping. The event is included in the Summer Olympics. The American Eventing Championship coming to Parker is the only national championship in the U.S. The competition consists of about 500 riders competing at all levels. The highest level, advanced, consists of some of the country’s best riders. The four-day event is free to attend and open to the public. Make sure to keep an eye out on Tamara Smith and Jordan Linstedt. Smith is currently ranked 11th on the USEA Leader Board, Linstedt 16th. Both will be competing at the Parker gathering.

“We are in desperate need of plumbers, electricians, auto mechanics. We need thousands of I.T. professionals and engineers.” Inadequate funding has created issues in district buildings. Schools are in need of between $303 million and $403 million in repairs, according to DCSD’s Master Capital Plan. Within the bond, $150 million would go toward Tier 1 and additional high-priority Tier 2 needs, which are critical building repairs. Capital reinvestments, with an estimated $3 million to $9 million for charter school safety and Tier
1 needs, would account for $61 million. And $39 million would go toward capital construction and career and technical education. A $40 million mill levy override would provide $17 million to address teacher pay; $6 million for changing counselor ratios at elementary, middle and high schools; $9 million for school-level funding depending on student need, equity and programming; and $8 million for charter schools. The decision will ultimately be in the hands of the voters. Election Day is Nov. 6. “We have a lot of catching up to do,” parent Kelly Poynter said. “Give Douglas County voters a choice and let them decide this November.”

The suspect in the death of a deputy district attorney in the south metro area 19 years ago has died before a preliminary hearing could be held, and the case is now closed, a news release from the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office said Aug. 21. Investigators arrested Robert Williams as a suspect in the death of the 18th Judicial District official on Aug. 29, 2017. He had a chronic illness at the time of his arrest, the release said. Williams, 71, was receiving end-of-life care in the Williams week before he died on Aug. 18, the release said. Rebecca Bartee was found dead at the age of 41 in her apartment in the 6500 block of South Dayton Street in Centennial on June 7, 1999. “The Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office Bartee is not seeking any other suspects and Rebecca Bartee’s homicide case has now been closed,” the release said. A Denver-area news reporter in February 2017 contacted law enforcement after a tipster provided the reporter information, the sheriff ’s office said, and as a result, new evidence led to Williams being identified as a suspect. The man who provided the tip said Williams had problems with other women in the apartment complex, made

unwelcome advances and looked in people’s windows, according to a news release by the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office. Williams also was convicted in Los Angeles of the 1983 murder of his estranged girlfriend by strangulation, the release said. At the time of his arrest, Williams was living in the same apartment building where Bartee was killed. He lived there at the time of the murder, said Julie Brooks, spokeswoman for the sheriff ’s office, and to her knowledge, he had not moved since then. After Williams’ arrest, authorities booked him into the Arapahoe County jail on a charge of firstdegree murder. He was being held without bond. Bartee was a district attorney in Hays, Kansas, before moving to Colorado. She pursued parents who did not pay their court-ordered child support for Arapahoe County. On June 7, 1999, employees of the DA’s office contacted the sheriff ’s office when Bartee did not come to work. An investigator responded to her apartment, where he found her dead in her bathtub, the news release from the DA’s office said. The ensuing investigation and coroner’s information estimated that Bartee died after arriving home from work Friday, June 4, 1999, and the death was classified as a homicide. The coroner determined the death was caused by drowning and possibly strangulation, the DA’s office release said. DNA evidence from Bartee’s bathtub was determined to match Williams, the release said. The sheriff ’s office urges anyone with information about cold cases to contact authorities at 303-795-4711 or at coldcase@arapahoegov.com.

I’m doing community service. I’d rather not explain why. It had something to do with the use of a misplaced modifier. The judge threw the book at me. It happened to be a copy of Strunk and White’s English grammar and punctuation masterpiece “The Elements of Style.” I was sentenced to write three columns: about cellphones and tailgating and littering, the harm linked to each of them, knowing full well I would be ignored. Heck, I was tailgated by a guy on a cellphone on the way to the newspaper to drop off one of the essays. He hit the trifecta: He threw a candy wrapper

He states that the district’s $53,080 average teacher salary is “in the middle of the pack statewide,” implying that’s OK. However, that state average includes districts in counties like Baca, Yuma and Moffatt, where salary bases are much lower. Comparisons must be made with our nearest “competitors,” those with similar salary demographics. A $17,000 disparity between DC and Creek is not acceptable.

ave you ever wondered why some of your own tasks and projects get done and yet there are others that seem to fall into the “maybe someday, but definitely not today” bucket? One of the primary reasons this happens for me is because I find myself in avoidance mode and procrastination becomes my destination. And I really don’t enjoy that destination, and I especially don’t enjoy the journey towards the destination of procrastination. So when I look at certain tasks, todos and projects my typical strategy is to categorize each one the night before or as soon as I wake up and start my day. An (A) task means this is one I must do before I do anything else. A (B) rating is something that is important, and I probably need to get to it before the end of the day. And then a project that falls into the (C) category means that if I have had a super productive day and can get to it, I get it done. If not, it usually becomes an (A) or (B) task for the next day. This ABC ranking system has proven extremely helpful over the

How to keep your situation free of destination procrastination
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Support ballot measures I’m writing to express my gratitude to the Douglas County School District Board of Education for unanimously voting to add two local school-funding measures to the ballot this November. The impact to individual homeowners is not great (an average of $17 more per month in property taxes), but the dividends our schools, students and teachers will receive are massive. Due to the lack of funds, our district has long neglected necessary maintenance of our existing schools. It’s irresponsible and fiscally unsound to let these buildings deteriorate and crumble around our 68,000 students. Passing these measures means the money collected will flow directly into our district’s coffers, not through the state budget. This is important as the state legislature has been underfunding our district for years by taking money earmarked for K-12 education and diverting it to other programs (now called the budget stabilization factor; it was previously called the negative factor). Since we have not passed a bond or mill levy override since my now high school senior was in kindergarten, our district is woefully underfunded compared to neighboring districts.
“If you pack it in, pack it out.” Maybe you have been reading about plastic straws. It’s a start. Litter lasts this long: cigarette butts, 1-5 years; aluminum cans, 80-100 years; plastic bags, 10-20 years; wool socks, 1-5 years; plastic bottles, indefinitely. On the way home from the park, Harry and I went to the grocery store. I spotted someone’s butts and ashes in a parking space. Not far off were the remains of a fast-food lunch. Flicking a butt always looks cool and hip in films, don’t she? Fifty percent of all littered items are cigarette butts.

I had to ask myself the big question, “Why?” Why was I, and why am I, avoiding certain things while getting after the others with purpose and passion? The internal dialogue sounded like this, “Are you avoiding this because you don’t have the skill to do it?” Or “I should probably put this into the someday bucket because this conversation is going to be uncomfortable.” And here is my least favorite, “Well you know Michael, if you keep putting this off, someone else will certainly do it.” And that last one is never true. When it comes to doing the things we need to do but avoid doing them because we don’t have the skill, lack the will, or we try and pass it off on someone else, all we are doing is practicing (AB) Avoidance Behavior. Avoidance behavior is a terrible journey and only ends up at destination procrastination. The simple realization for me was that there are things that I enjoy doing and where passion and purpose are easily found to accelerate my behavior. There are other things where I need just a little hope and encouragement and then I am once again hot on my
pursuit to getting it done. Now, when I realize I am in avoidance behavior mode, I challenge myself to get after it, get it off the list, and do it better than I ever expected to do it. The byproducts of getting off of the terrible journey of “Someday, but definitely not today” are easily recognized. First, our stress levels go way down. Second, our distractions and lack of focus on primary projects and tasks are abated. And last but not least, our own sense of accomplishment drives us forward to the completion of other tasks, to-dos, and projects. So how about you? Are you on the destination procrastination train as you settle in comfortably to your own avoidance behavior? Or do you have a system that is working really well to get it all done and where you are feeling super accomplished? As always I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we turn our “Someday, but definitely not today” moments into fulfilling our self-accomplishment moments, it really will be a better than good week.

abide the exploitation of decencies, and take the high road, and say, “Right on, worthless dopes and dunces and fools. Don’t mind me. Just be yourself.” Maybe it starts at home like just about everything else. Who hasn’t heard, “Pick up your room”? Analytically, an admonishment like that is embedded with dominance and submission, and there comes a point (an age) when most of us rebel — and we don’t put our belongings where they belong.
If you go to a park - or almost anywhere — there are signs. “Don’t do this, and don’t do that,” and guess what happens? Rules are made to be broken. What feels better than outrunning law enforcement? What feels better than walking an unleashed dog? What feels better than thumbing your nose at The Man? Littering, likewise, is a sign of non-conformity. According to Keep America Beautiful, it costs $11.5 billion to clean up litter in the United States every year. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

capital to fund the physical plant... repairs and improvements to plumbing, electric, IT, buses, etc., plus competitive salaries to retain employees in those disciplines. Is this “lavish” spending? Does he defer maintenance items in his own home? Mr. Young appears fixated on the tax increase necessary to fund improvements, an onerous amount of $17 a month, which would force one to forego maybe four lattes monthly. We feel his pain. However, for DC to retain excellent employees and maintain excellent facilities, money must be there. Prices go up, and our children deserve the best we can give them. A vote “yes” in November, with the attendant small cost, will go a long way toward providing that. Additionally, excellent schools are a drawing card to this community, ensuring property values are maintained and that the county keeps its reputation as an excellent place to live. Mike Fullerton Highlands Ranch Keep momentum going A letter printed in your Aug. 16 edition shows why it is so important to get out and vote for the school-funding measures this November. Because if you believe those who supported the previous schoolboard are gone, think again. Yes, there are still some who think DougCo teachers are overpaid, parttime workers. That a district that last passed a local bond or mill levy 12 years ago doesn’t need another. And that those who own a half-million-dollar house can’t come up with 50 cents more per day to invest in the future of
our community. Look, I’ll stack my curmudgeon credentials against anyone: I’m 55-plus, a lifelong Republican and soon-to-be empty nester. But I’m also someone who is deeply appreciative of the top-quality education and experience that my kids received from DougCo public schools. How selfish and hypocritical it would be to deny the same opportunity to the next generation of students. I’m proud of Douglas County voters who stood up and righted the mistakes of the past. Now it’s time for that same group to ensure that we keep the positive momentum and provide our schools with the resources they desperately need. J. David Eck Highlands Ranch Time for change in Congress I’m a retired Douglas County professional sharing why I think it is time for a change after generally voting Republican since 1976. No, it’s not Trump (entirely). I’m driven by a deep frustration with the elected Republicans in Congress, who perennially fail to deliver on their election year promises. Oh, they passed “tax cuts for the rich” and that may help the economy. But, even with the presidency and majorities in both houses, they have utterly failed to deliver at all on crucial issues such as: preventing Social Security from going broke, comprehensive immigration reform, fixing VA and providing our veterans with the health care they deserve, funding the nation’s highway infrastructure replacement and upgrade needs, and more. I am just one person who believes it is time to let the Democrats have a chance to end the gridlock. Lee Merritt Parker

oss Erickson, 29, started climbing fourteeners — mountains with more than 14,000 feet elevation — eight years ago when he moved to Colorado. “Illinois doesn’t have any,” he said jokingly about why he waited to climb a mountain of that height. At first, he saw the fourteeners as training hikes for the Colorado Trail, which he was preparing to hike. As the years went on, he advanced to more technical mountains. As a rock climber and a hiker, he was inspired to push his limits. Now, he’s just shy of 50 fourteeners climbed and shares his lessons learned at the REI outdoor school, where he teaches rock climbing, onand off-trail map and compass use, and wilderness survival. For him, the biggest thing he wants students to remember is to always be prepared. “Know your skill level and remember that you are in the mountains and things can get real,” Erickson said. In 2016 and 2017 the Alpine Rescue team, which performs rescues in Clear Creek County, averaged 45

Dawn Wilson, of Alpine Rescue, said that there are a couple things that get people in trouble more than others while they are hiking mountains of that height. “When people go past their ability, that’s when you get into trouble,” Wilson said. “People die. You don’t mess around with these fourteeners.” Wilson reminds people to be prepared with the proper gear, to tell someone where you are going and your estimated time of return, and to
RISKS OF CLIMBING MOUNTAINS Weather Lightning is the greatest external hazard to mountaineering in Colorado. Lighting hits the highest areas — summits and high ridge lines — as well as open meadows. Use the “alpine start” and begin the mountain ascent in the early hours of the morning. This allows hikers to get down the mountain in the early afternoon before storms roll in. The biggest concern with starting that early — when it could potentially still be dark — is making sure you know the terrain and carry a headlamp.

One spot Alpine Rescue was called to several times this summer was the sawtooth that connects Mount Bierstadt and Mount Evans. “Mount Bierstadt is one of the easier fourteeners,” Wilson said. “It’s a high-traveled route. But then people go over to the sawtooth and that is not something to be challenged with if you are not prepared. It’s really technical. SEE PEAKS, P21

Play poses challenging questions
t is not often that a theater company has the opportunity to be part of a play from inception to production, but that’s just one of the things that makes the Athena Project such an important part of the metro art scene — it works to give new playwrights a chance to showcase their work. Such is the case with Athena’s production of “Honor Killing,” written by Sarah Bierstock and developed during the 2017 Plays In Progress Series. Directed by Angela Astle, the show will make its premiere at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept 8 at the Elaine Wolfe Theatre at the JCC Denver, 350 S. Dahlia St. in Denver. The show will then run through Sept. 30 with shows at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays. The show follows COMING New York Times ATTRACTIONS reporter Allisyn Davis as she investigates the honor killing of a young Pakistani woman at the hands of family. Allisyn is denied entrance to Pakistan, but armed with the most current Clarke Reader technology she conducts her investigation remotely from Dubai. “The show addresses brutality against women in both Western and Eastern cultures,” Astle said. “It also asks great questions about the responsibilities of journalists when they’re reporting on a culture that isn’t their own and may not fully understand.” During the Athena Project’s annual festival, “Honor Killing” was selected as one of 250 plays submitted to Plays in Progress, which accepts scripts of women playwrights and develops them through workshops, staged readings and table readings. Astle was a part of that early process and said she’s thrilled to bring it to a Colorado audience after its world premiere at Florida Studio Theatre in Sarasota, Florida. With all the recent focus on journalistic integrity and importance of the free press, Astle said the show will send the audience home with plenty to discuss. “When you’re reading an article, you can’t just take it face value. You need to look at who is writing the piece and why,” she said “It asks us to consider how we tell our stories.” For tickets and more information, go to www.AthenaProjectArts.org. SEE READER, P14

Where the wild food trucks are Over the last decade or so food trucks have emerged as purveyors of some of the tastiest and most interesting dining experiences one can have around town. But keeping track of which truck is going to be where can sometimes be a tricky job. Thankfully, there’s a rally for that. Hosted from 1 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 1, at 31st Street through Downing Street on Larimer, the Truck Stop Food Truck Rally will gather more than a dozen food trucks, local craft vendors and live music. Entry to the event is free, and attendees simply pay for the food and drinks they want. There are bound to be numerous de-

licious options for every palate, plus the rally is a great way to mark Labor Day weekend. Head over to www.truckstoprally. com for all the pertinents. The film is Bond. James Bond It is difficult to imagine a young man who didn’t watch his first James Bond movie and walk away hoping they could be half as cool as Britain’s best spy someday. Something about his effortless style and swagger makes him a character multiple generations return to. Le Méridien Denver Downtown, 1475 California St., offers the chance for fans to check out some quintessential 007 flicks at its Classic Bond Movie Night beginning at 6 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 3. In addition to the movie, attendees will get complimentary popcorn and a classic cocktail menu to order from.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Gary Clark Jr. at Red Rocks People don’t really talk about guitarists the way they used to in the 1960s and 1970s. When rock was the most important music genre in the world there were passionate debates about who was the true guitar god. That doesn’t happen all that often anymore. If that debate was still going on, one of the top contenders for the title would be Austin’s Gary Clark Jr. A fervent believer in the transformative power of the blues and a guitarist in the style of Hendrix, Clark is one of the unequivocal modern masters of the guitar. He’s released two solid studio albums, but it’s in his pair of
live albums where his skills really shine though. His version of “Catfish Blues” is one of the best live recordings of the decade. To experience the real thing, you don’t want to miss Gary Clark Jr. at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 5 at Red Rocks, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway in Morrison. If witnessing Clark’s magic isn’t enough to tempt you, soul singer Valerie June will be the opener for the evening. The owner of one of the richest voices in the genre, June is worth the price of admission alone. To get your tickets, visit www. redrocksonline.com/events/detail/ gary-clark-jr. Clarke Reader’s column on culture appears on a weekly basis. He can be reached at Clarke.Reader@hotmail. com.

Carmel welcomes you to see her works in person and connect with her at one of the many fine art festivals that she attends throughout Colorado and beyond.

Over the last twenty years, Carmel’s artistic style has evolved along with her passion for and spiritual connection to the natural world. Though most of her works have visually realistic components, Carmel draws out the mystery of her subjects by engulfing them in imaginative dances of texture, light and color. Painting entirely with transparent watercolors through the blending of three primary hues, Carmel leaves plenty of the white of the paper untouched to keep her work sparkling with life.

Carmel grew up immersed in the wild beauty surrounding her family’s Colorado ranch, and some of her earliest memories are of trying to capture a bit of the wonder through art. With encouragement from her father, wood and bronze sculptor Bill Walden, Carmel received her BA in Fine Art from Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California, and then moved to Arizona where she found a quiet space to reflect and refine her watercolor skills. While living with the Hopi and Navajo people, she began her Master’s degree in Psychology, taught Expressive Art Therapy, and began fusing her art with her belief in the spiritual benefits of exploring nature. Her career as a professional artist was launched upon returning to Colorado with an array of paintings in 1999.

Young Marines learn from Navajo Code Talkers STAFF REPORT
Ten members of the Douglas County Young Marines attended National Navajo Code Talkers Day, which recognizes the Navajo men who joined the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II as communication specialists and developed an unbreakable code using their native language. The annual event, which was Aug. 14 in Window Rock, Arizona, welcomed 100 Young Marines nationwide. Young Marines began attending Navajo Code Talkers Day in 2006. To date, more than 1,500 Young Marines have experienced the event. The Young Marines are asked to share their experience with their history classes, which means that thousands of kids who might not have otherwise known about the Code Talkers will be touched by their participation. “The Young Marines have become important participants in this special day,” Brenda McNulty, Young Marines event organizer and Castle Rock resident, said in a news release. “The Navajo
veterans are more than just WWII heroes. They are dear friends to the Young Marines. Our partnership with the Code Talkers and their descendants has strengthened year after year.” While onsite for three days, the Young Marines did community service by cleaning and weeding the Navajo Nation Zoo and cleaning graffiti off the red rocks on Window Rock peak. On Navajo Code Talkers Day, the Young Marines escort the Navajo veterans, march in the parade, and perform a wreath laying ceremony. “The Young Marines are assuring the legacy of these very special veterans,” Bill Davis, national executive director and CEO of the Young Marines, said in the release. “They will not be forgotten. In addition, we are very grateful to the Office of the President and Vice President of the Navajo Nation for continuing to support this event and include the Young Marines in honoring these heroes of WWII.” Learn more about the Young Marines www.YoungMarines.com.

On a sunny day in July, about 3,000 people can be found on Mount Bierstadt. In July 2017, Colorado Fourteener Initiative released the second edition of its “Fourteener Hiking Use and Economic e Impact” report, which estimated that 311,000 hiker use days occurred on Colorado’s fourteeners in 2016 — a 19 percent increase over 2015. CFI protects and preserves the natural integrity of Colorado’s 54 14,000-foot peaks through active stewardship and public education. CFI partners with the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and passionate volunteers and donors nationwide to create protection of Colorado’s highest peaks; build and maintain sustainable hiking routes to accommodate hiking use while minimizing damage to native alpine

Lost mountain climbers are encouraged to remember the four steps in the acronym STOP: Sit Sit down, gain your composure and remain calm. Panicking will compound the problem.

Visions of success
Young pitcher immersed in national pride
I
Casebier “We want to change how we approach the game in all ways, in-season and off-season, which entails a lot,” said Casebier, who has a resume that includes rebuilding programs at Palisade, Montrose and Fruita Monument, where he guided teams into 18 state playoff
t is amazing how easy it is to remember all the first times in our lives. I can still recall the first time that I really felt and saw public patriotism. Admittedly I used to feel a twinge of nationalism watching the Olympics or “Yankee Doodle Dandy” on television, but I was really surprised while attending a 1980 Colorado Rockies hockey game at McNichols Sports Arena. When the national anthem was played, I can remember everybody loudly singing the anthem and some waving tiny American flags. This was just after the United States’ Miracle on Ice hockey team had won the Olympic OVERTIME gold medal. ThunderRidge sophomore righthanded pitcher Cale Lansville got up close and personal with the feelings of national pride recently as a member of the United States U15 Jim Benton baseball team that won the 10-day Baseball World Cup on Aug. 19 in David, Panama. “It was the best feeling just to win a gold medal for your country and having the jersey on every single day,” said Lansville. “With USA across your chest it really puts things in perspective and it was an honor to represent my country.” It was the first U15 world baseball championship for the United States. Lansville made two appearances, both starts, and was 1-0 with a 2.16 earned run average. He allowed four hits in 8.1 innings pitched, two earned runs with six strikeouts and five walks in his two outings. “It was definitely competitive,” he said. “Some teams did things a little differently. Being a pitcher, I saw than Japan was very selective while the Dominicans were very aggressive early in the count.” The United States went 8-1 in the tournament and downed Panama 7-1 in the title game of the 12-country tournament on Aug. 19. Lansville was dominant in pitching 5.1 innings in a 4-1 win over previously unbeaten Panama on Aug. 14. He faced just one batter over his minimum while allowing two hits and striking out two batters. He started and pitched three innings Aug. 18 against Japan in an 8-2 victory and yielded a pair of hits, two runs, one earned with three strikeouts and three walks.

Six local football teams have new coaches, most of whom are working to reshape culture of the programs
Jeff Ketron led Douglas County to a state football title in 2005 and has resumed coaching as the new head coach at Chaparral. He says he is taking over a program that is in good shape and the winning culture has been established.
BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
O
ne way of defining football culture is how players, fans and others see the expectations for the team. There are six head football coaches in new places at south metro-area programs this season, and culture is a term that surfaced a lot during preseason conversations. Two of the coaches will be trying to overhaul the character of the programs they are joining. A few are tweaking reputable teams and one is trying to maintain the culture of arguably the state’s premier program, Valor Christian. • Todd Casebier is the new head coach at Castle View. • Mike Campbell takes over at Englewood. • Former Valor Christian coach Rod Sherman has replaced Campbell at Arapahoe. • Jeff Ketron returns to the
coaching fraternity as the new Chaparral mentor. • John Trahan will lead the Highlands Ranch program. • Former Denver Broncos wide receiver Ed McCaffrey is the new coach at Valor. Here’s a look at what the coaches are facing as the season gets underway:

COACHES
New Castle View head coach Todd Casebier says every team has good individuals but teams are the ones that win. He emphasized to his players that if they stick together and do what they are supposed to do that there is a good chance that success will follow. JIM BENTON

appearances in 20 seasons. Castle View teams have gone 1-9 twice in the past three years and the Sabercats have averaged just three wins over the past six seasons. “It’s not that we’re doing anything that other programs haven’t done, but we are trying to get this thing on the right track and it takes a lot of work to do that,” Casebier said. “The thing about work is everyone wants a shortcut these days, and there isn’t one. Hard work looks the same in 2018 as it did in 1918. You have to go out and do it. “This culture and generation thinks there is this quick fix. And for football, there isn’t.” Campbell Campbell, who was Class 5A Arapahoe’s coach for 15 seasons, is now facing the challenge of restructuring Englewood football, which has gone seven seasons without a winning record and has only two in the past 13 years. The Pirates are playing in Class 2A this season. “When you’ve been coaching as long as I have at a
different place, you take for granted expectations, and we are still getting an education here on what expectations look like,” said Campbell. “Englewood hasn’t had a winning record since 2010, so we have our hands full, speaking of culture.” Sherman Sherman was involved in the Valor Christian football program since the school opened, and in five seasons as head coach, he helped the Eagles compile a 57-11 mark with three state titles.
He is now the leader of the Warriors program, which was 8-12 the past two seasons. “In the business world, they would tell you it is easier to start a culture than change a culture,” said Sherman. “I would say it’s the same, but our young men at Arapahoe have done an incredible job of getting us to where we want to be. They are meeting the expectations. We can compete with the best in the state, no doubt about it. “Culture is the way we go about our business. Coaches are responsible for the cul-
ture. These young men listen to what we are saying.” Ketron Ketron was head coach at Douglas County from 1999 to 2013 and coached the Huskies to the 2005 state 5A title and a runner-up finish in 2007. He inherits a Chaparral program that has had just two losing seasons in the last decade. “The culture was established,” Ketron said. “The school is a winning school with a winning attitude. Schematically, it has been a big difference in what the players

His youngest son, Luke, is a senior quarterback and will help his dad in his first venture into high school coaching. The Valor culture is well established, with seven state titles in 10 seasons.

Trahan Trahan comes from Smoky Hill and takes over a team that has advanced the past two seasons into the 5A state playoffs. “Changing culture of what has been in the past is about what will keep them at a certain level of success and then helping them take the next step forward,” said Trahan. “In this program, there are a lot of really gifted athletes. Changing the culture of team discipline has been the biggest key to everything we’ve had to do.”
