A true-blue show of support
Wounded detective ‘a fighter,’ doctor says
More than a thousand people take part in prayer vigil for Detective Dan Brite at Parker Adventist Hospital
By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com As they looked out a fourth-floor window at Parker Adventist Hospital, members of Detective Dan Brite’s family saw a bright blue sky above and a sea of blue below. More than a thousand people stood in the parking lot, dressed in blue, to pray and offer support for Brite and his family. “It’s incredible,” Brite’s cousin, Brian Coates, said before the Sept. 11 event began. Brite was in critical condition at the hospital after having been shot by a suspect police believe was suicidal on Sept. 2 near Parker. Wes Crespi, owner of Coffee Cabin in Parker, came up with the idea for the vigil and promoted the event through social media. In a Facebook post, Crespi said he wanted to show Brite’s daughters the community was behind their father and that Brite was in an “exclusive fraternity” of heroes who sacrifice themselves to protect others. Coates came from Oklahoma City to Parker with his wife and two children to be with his extended family. He said he, Brite and Steve Brite, Dan’s brother, were close companions as children. “Dan and his brother Steve, we all grew up together,” Coates said. He added that he couldn’t speak for Brite’s wife and children, but he knew they were grateful for the community’s efforts. “I’m sure they appreciate it,” he said. Coates adding that if he could say one thing to the community, it would be an obvious, but heartfelt, sentiment. “Just ‘thank you,’ ” he said. “You say it a lot, but, it’s just been overwhelming, all of the support, all of the prayers, the fundraising, everything. Thank you.” The 20-minute ceremony was at times somber, at times joyous and at all times

Detective Dan Brite remains in the intensive care unit at Parker Adventist Hospital in “very critical condition,” according to Dr. Michael Bertocchi, trauma surgeon who led the medical team that treated Brite after he was shot Sept. 2. During a Sept. 9 news conference at Parker Adventist, Bertocchi said Brite is responding to stimuli, though his consciousness is “blunted.” He said the brain shuts down somewhat whenever the body is critically Brite injured to allow other organs to heal. “He’s responding to treatments but he has to overcome the great physiological deficits that occur in a massive hemorrhage, and at this time we are dealing with those issues,” Bertocchi said. While responding to a “suicidal” suspect’s home near Sierra Middle School, Brite was shot by Randall Rodick, who was killed by a police officer moments later, authorities said. Brite is a member of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Impact Unit, a special squad that works with detectives from other local agencies, often targeting
School board seat officially vacant Board had been deadlocked on the issue of Benevento’s resignation
By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com After a second special meeting of the Douglas County Board of Education in three days, Doug Benevento’s resignation was accepted by a 6-1 vote Sept. 8. David Ray cast the dissenting vote.
At a Sept. 6 meeting on the same topic, the board did not accept his resignation following a deadlocked 3-3 vote. “I voted ‘no’ to convey the message that I am still concerned that we are condoning a political tactic that gives an unfair advantage to a future candidate,” Ray said. “Had there been an acknowledgment from the board president
Benevento
that it is inappropriate to resign from an elected position with this intent, I would have voted in favor of the resolution.” Benevento, an attorney who lives in Highlands Ranch, did not attend either meeting in person but called into the Sept. 8 meeting to ensure the vote to

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
SARAH HUDSON Life is rich with kids, Christmas, crocheting Moving on up I’ve lived in Parker for 14 years after growing up in Elizabeth. We moved here for the kids to have more opportunities sports-wise and everything, and to be closer to the city. Keeping it all together We have two sons, 16-year-old Logan and a 14-year-old son Grant, and a 3-year-old daughter, Brenna. The hardest part of having children at such different ages is probably going through the high school drama with the two teenagers and then dealing with a 3-year-old and all of her “busyness’ all day long. They all get along awesome. The boys mentor her and look after her, as well as pick on her sometimes. Just kid stuff. We go to the movies and we enjoy bowling, camping and hiking together. The kids really like Castlewood Canyon and
St. Mary’s Glacier. We also like a place called Whiskey Park near Steamboat. The older two race junior dragsters at Bandimere Speedway and she loves to watch them. Family time all the time I have been a stay-at-home mom for all three children. I don’t think it’s as easy as a lot of people think it is. I would say it takes a lot of patience. I think the hardest part has been dealing with the teenagers and their hormones. I think as long as you try to get out and go to a lot of group activities with other parents you still get the adult conversation and adult time you need. We usually do weekly playdates at the zoo and story time at the library, picnics and that kind of stuff. It’s been over three years since my husband and I have had any time to ourselves, even a date. We’re horrible about it, we’re so busy with the kids. If we do have any time without them we just like to have dinner by ourselves. Christmas crocheting My favorite hobby is crocheting. I really like to make all different kinds of winter hats, for kids and for adults. Christmas is my favorite holiday. It’s just such a beautiful time of year, it just seems like everyone’s in such a great mood. It doesn’t hurt to see the kids wearing the hats I made. Do you have a suggestion for My name is…?

The grants support nonprofits addressing domestic violence, youth empowerment, hunger, disaster preparedness and other causes. The Allstate Foundation will grant up to $7.5 million to nonprofits across the country this year.

Pool pups Barker Days brings drenched dogs to O’Brien Park By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com A record turnout of dogs took their humans to O’Brien Park to swim laps, catch Frisbees and sniff everything in sight on Sept. 10. “It’s been fun and crazy as always,” Hillary Roemersberger, fitness and wellness coordinator for Parker Parks and Recreation, said as she took tickets and checked in attendees. Roemersberger said about 800 dogs were preregistered for the event, and Meagan Arvidson, deputy recreational manager for Parker Parks and Recreation, said about 1,200 dogs and nearly 3,000 people were expected by day’s end. “Some of them don’t even have dogs,” said Arvidson. “They just come to watch.” Canine attendees swam in the H2O’Brien pool, played catch on the ballfield and chased Frisbees, balls and each other throughout the day as their owners caroused and checked out vendors’ booths. Arvidson, who has organized the event in each of its 12 years, said her own love of dogs was the inspiration for the first Barker Days in 2004. But even she didn’t expect the response the annual playdate for Parker pups would receive. “I originally just thought `Hey, let’s get about 100 dogs or so together at the pool,’ ” Arvidson said. “We ended up with about 500 or 600 dogs that first year.” Dennis Phillips, who brought his 2-year-old son Tripp and their mixedbreed dog Potter, said it was the trio’s first time at Barker Days. But it won’t be their last. Potter was “really enjoying being out here in the green grass with all of the other dogs, and it’s just really fun to watch them all,” Phillips said. “We’ll definitely be back next year.”

‘A magnet’ for growth, business
Tesla was one of several new retailers to open in the past few years. Other recent additions include Lolli and Pops, an old-fashioned candy store, the outdoor clothing and equipment retailer L.L. Bean, and Wrangler, which sells jeans and Western wear. An Amazon store, which will sell its own tablets and reading devices, will open at Park Meadows in September.
Park Meadows reaches 20th anniversary as a retail draw
By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Park Meadows mall was being built in the mid-1990s, some in the fledgling city of Lone Tree didn’t favor it — some didn’t even know what the massive structure near I-25 and County Line Road was going to be. “When I first moved here, I was signing my kids up for soccer and I was telling one of the other parents how I moved here for Park Meadows. She said, ‘It’s so beautiful. I love that building. How many seniors is it going to house?’ ” said Pamela Schenck-Kelly, Park Meadows’ general manager for its 20-year existence. “I came back to the construction trailer the next day and said, ‘Folks, we have our work cut out for us.’ ” Sharon Van Ramshorst, one of Lone Tree’s first residents in the early 1980s, remembers that not everyone welcomed Park Meadows with open arms. “Despite the fact that there were huge signs on the site that said ‘future mall,’ people would say, ‘I didn’t know there was a mall there’ and ‘We don’t want that mall,’ “ said Van Ramshorst, who served on city council from 2004 to 2012. “It was a small number of people, but they were very vocal.” That isn’t the case anymore: The shopping center, one of the state’s most popular tourist destinations, has shaped what Lone Tree is today, city leaders say. Park Meadows Retail Resort, billing itself as a lifestyle center rather than a shopping mall, opened its doors on Aug. 30, 1996. Twenty years later, it has proved to be Lone Tree’s economic and community engine, largely responsible for spurring development of the city, both commercial and residential. Within its first year, Park Meadows opened 37 stores and restaurants new to the Denver metro area. It was home to more than $1 million in artwork commissioned from Colorado artists and boasted 66-foot-tall fireplaces, woodbeamed ceilings and comfy leather seating throughout its mountain-themed, elegantly-appointed two floors. The area surrounding Park Meadows became the focal point of business and discussion in the city, which had incorporated only a year before the mall’s opening with about 3,000 residents. Today, Lone Tree is a city of more than 13,000 people expected to grow to 31,000 residents by 2035. Meanwhile, Park Meadows has grown to more than 200 stores and restaurants. Last year, it brought in nearly $11 million in sales tax revenue for the city. That accounted for 47 percent of Lone Tree’s total sales tax haul. “People are always asking me about Park Meadows or telling me they were in Lone Tree at this store or that store or they had dinner somewhere near Park Meadows,” Lone Tree Mayor Jackie Millet said. “It’s really a gathering place for the community.” And without the benefit of the mall’s tax base, Lone Tree would be a totally different city, Van Ramhorst said. “It’s made Lone Tree what Lone Tree is today,” Van Ramshorst said. “It’s hard to understand why anyone could have opposed that.” Engine for the business community Lone Tree was a small community of roughly a square mile when it was incorporated in 1995. Over the years, the city annexed surrounding property — including the mall in January 2007 — so that today the community covers 9.6 square miles, stretching from County Line Road in the north past RidgeGate Parkway nearly to Castle Pines in the south. The mall — which draws people from across Colorado as well as tourists visiting the metro area — created exposure Lone Tree didn’t previously have. “For a lot of folks, Park Meadows put Lone Tree on the map,” Millet said. “Our popularity in the early years was linked to the mall.”
Shoppers come down the escalator at Park Meadows in Lone Tree.

Park Meadows now accounts for 1.5 million square feet of the city’s 3.6 million square feet of retail space and is the city’s largest source of sales tax revenue. “It has been a draw for investment in the area,” Howell said. “People appreciate it and proximity to Park Meadows is important for local businesses.” Lasinda Cranelli and her husband, Jim, own Cranelli’s Italian Restaurant at 10047 Park Meadows Drive, about two miles from the mall. She estimates that five or six of every 10 people who eat at their restaurant are in the area because they were shopping at Park Meadows. “It brings people in — not just for us, but for all of the shops and restaurants in the area,” Cranelli said. “With its location off of I-25, people come from all over.” A recent survey by Visit Denver, a nonprofit group that markets the metro area, found Park Meadows to be one of the state’s top tourist destinations, ranking it eighth, a spot behind Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre. “I come all the time to shop,” said Elizabeth Small of Denver, at Park Meadows on a recent day. “My friends and I come and have lunch almost every week. It’s a fun place to come hang out.” Friend Arielle Hornsby of Highlands Ranch agreed. The mall, she said, is the best place to shop locally because of its large selection. “They have all of my favorite places — you can find pretty much anything you’re looking for.” But Park Meadows’ economic impact also extends beyond the immediate shopping area, business leaders say. Bob Golden, president of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, based in Centennial, points to the growth of the RidgeGate residential area in Lone Tree — about 3 1/2 miles from the mall along I-25 — and the surrounding areas near Parker as examples of the continued draw to the region. “Park Meadows was a magnet for business and growth 20 years ago,” Golden said, “and it still is today.” Evolving with the times Park Meadows opened with a commitment to be “experiential” and “experimental,” Schenck-Kelly said. “You might want a new shirt, but it’s unlikely that you need a new shirt,” she said. “Under those circumstances, the experience of shopping and having the kind of merchandise that people want has become more important than it even was 20 years ago.” The key to Park Meadows’ success over the years has been anticipating trends and reacting to them quickly,
Schenck-Kelly said. “Twenty years ago, when we opened, if you could react to something in a 12- to 18-month period with what was happening on a trend, that was good. You would be able to ride that wave,” she said. “Ten years later, you needed to react in a six- to 12-month period. Five years after that, you had three months. Now, I swear we don’t even have three weeks.” When looking for new retailers, a certain amount of risk is involved. “Tesla, that was a risk,” Schenck-Kelly said. “ I can’t tell you how many people thought we were crazy for putting an electric car store in the shopping center. People would say to me: ‘How’s that going to work?’ ”
The future Continuing to evolve with the times will be key to Park Meadows’ success in the future, said Schenck-Kelly, who envisions Park Meadows also being a place where people can find things they simply can’t buy online. “People need technology. They need the things to make their lives better, but I also think you are going to see nostalgia,” she said. “You’re going to see those things that people long for.” Fitness and health are also becoming increasingly popular, she said. “If I were going to predict anything, I would say that health, wellness and fitness will be an integral part of its own mall category,” Schenck-Kelly said. “It will be more than just a yoga pant. It will be things that come out of that type of lifestyle. You may have health coaching. People are going to be as passionate about their internal health as they are about their external appearance.” But regardless of how Park Meadows keeps people coming through its doors, city and community leaders say it will continue to be a major player in the growth and maturity of the city. “I see Park Meadows increasing in its value to the business and residential community in the years to come,” said Mary Martin, president of the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce. “Its location could not be more ideal, with easy access off 470 and a wide variety of businesses and restaurants to enjoy. “It is,” she said, “a true destination, both for residents and for tourists.”

‘He could hear rounds whizzing past his head’ Sheriff, police describe what happened during shooting that left detective wounded By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said officers responding to Randall Rodick’s residence knew it would be a difficult call. “It was felt early on in the call that this was going to be an unusual response,” Spurlock said. At a news conference on Sept. 9 at Parker Adventist Hospital, Spurlock and other officials from law enforcement updated information about the Sept. 2 exchange of gunfire between Rodick, 40, and officers, during which authorities say Rodick shot Detective Dan Brite before being fatally shot by a police officer. Brite remains in critical condition at Parker Adventist. “They saw some things that led them to believe ‘this isn’t the type of guy that’s going to put his gun down and talk to us,’ ” Spurlock said. Rodick was known to the sheriff’s office because deputies had been to his home on reports of disturbances during the past five years. He also was under investigation for narcotics-related activities, Spurlock said. Just before 2:30 p.m. Sept. 2, Rodick’s common-law wife called authorities because she was concerned he may have been suicidal. Spurlock said officers who responded to Rodick’s home in northeast unincorporated Douglas County, near Parker, immediately were watching Rodick’s movements from “a long ways away” through binoculars. They witnessed Rodick loading at least one long rifle and a number of ammunition cans into his recreational vehicle, at which point they made contact with him to prevent the scene from expanding beyond Rodick’s property. “Immediately, he displayed a weapon and started shooting at our officers,” Spurlock said, adding that he could only say the weapon used was “a large-caliber rifle.” Spurlock said Rodick then fled the scene, driving his RV across a field behind his home in the direction of Parker Adventist Hospital, which is a few hundred yards from his home. Rodick
Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock addresses reporters at a press conference at Parker Adventist Hospital on Sept. 9. Spurlock said more than 100 rounds of ammunition were exchanged in the Sept. 2 shootout between officers and suspect Randall Rodick. Photo by Tom Skelley continued to fire at police and turned his gun and fired at civilians in the area, and at least two bullets struck the east side of the hospital, the sheriff said. Rodick crashed the RV in a lot near the hospital before being killed. Spurlock identified the officer who shot Rodick as a member of the Parker Police Department but did not release his name. The officer has been placed on paid leave, as is procedure following an officer-involved shooting. After the news conference, Parker Police Chief David King confirmed it was one of his officers who shot Rodick, adding that the officer fired one shot during the exchange. “One officer said he could hear rounds whizzing by his head,” King said, adding “there were a lot of heroic efforts on the officers’ part” in the response. At the same time officers pursued Rodick’s RV across the field, a SWAT
medic from the responding team applied first aid to Brite. Spurlock said the medic’s quick work undoubtedly saved Brite’s life. “I believe it was critical in getting us to where we are today,” Spurlock said. He added that the proximity of the hospital and the “smart decision-making” by officers assisting Brite at the scene kept Brite alive. Spurlock said it took four minutes to get Brite from the crime scene to the emergency room. About 30 firearms were recovered from the entire crime scene, mostly at Rodick’s home, the sheriff said. Police and Rodick discharged more than 100 rounds of ammunition. District Attorney George Brauchler said a twofold investigation is underway, one involving Rodick’s suspected shooting of Brite and one covering the responding officer’s shooting of Rodick. Brauchler said a special unit known
as the Critical Response Team, composed of detectives and investigators from surrounding police departments, is conducting the investigation. Parker’s department has members appointed to the team, but none will be assisting in the case in the interest of having an unbiased, third-party investigation. Brauchler said five officers “pulled triggers” during the incident, and they were members of the Castle Rock Police Department, the Parker Police Department and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. He said interviews with all five have been completed. Brauchler said that while the case seems simple, there is a need to follow proper procedures. “There is a sense of obviousness about what happened here and whether or not this is going to be a good shoot,” he said. “Aside from that, it’s important that we go through this process.”

narcotics and property crimes and performing undercover operations. Before joining DCSO in 2014, he worked for the Lone Tree Police Department for nine years. A bullet entered Brite’s chest at the left side just below the pectoral muscle, Bertocchi indicated. Bertocchi said he didn’t see a ballistic vest on Brite when he arrived. Dr. Chris Winter, trauma medical director, said the medical personnel initially treating Brite numbered in the “tens” at times, and the high-quality care they provided and continue to provide is giving him his best chance for recovery. Brite’s older brother, Steve Brite, took the podium after Bertocchi to thank area residents for their outpouring of support and financial contributions, as well as their prayers. Steve Brite also thanked God “for sending his angels” to protect officers on scene that day, and “to allow them to save the lives of the children in that school,” and other citizens. He called his brother “a father, a husband, a friend, a Detroit Lions fan, a former Marine and a highly-trained SWAT officer, who on that day had the bravery and the courage to answer his call to duty with selflessness, integrity and honor, which potentially saved countless lives.” Steve Brite said someone is constantly with his brother, talking to him and giving him football updates. Brite said

Steve Brite, Detective Dan Brite’s older brother, thanks community members for their support at a Sept. 9 press conference at Parker Adventist Hospital. Detective Brite remains in critical condition in the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit.
Brite said he tells his brother his “next mission” is to walk out the hospital door, although he joked that hospital procedure would probably require he be wheeled at least to the doorway. Bertocchi added that his goal for
Brite is a full recovery, but he cautioned that recovery from such an injury takes months and Brite is still in the early stages of that process. “We do remain optimistic,” Bertocchi said. “He’s a fighter, he’s shown us that.”

peaceful. Young members of the Brite family members waved to attendees from a west-facing window as the crowd cheered, prayed and sang, closing the event with a singalong of “God Bless America.” A Parker police officer estimated the crowd at close to 1,500 people. As Brite’s brother, wife and two daughters looked on, Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock addressed the audience, thanking everyone for their continued prayers and encouragement. Spurlock praised Brite as an officer who “when called to duty, charged in to make sure no one else was harmed.” Spurlock called Brite’s family “amazing,” and he thanked them for being “welcoming” to the community’s desire to “stand beside” Brite. Parker Mayor Mike Waid read an essay from famed radio commentator Paul Harvey titled “The Policeman,” saying that police officers are “at once the most needed and the most wanted” people in the community. Waid then asked the crowd to “make enough noise to shake the building,” eliciting a loud cheer from the audience, before asking them to take part in a moment of silent prayer. “It went off perfectly,” said Rachel Robinson, public relations director for Parker Adventist. Robinson said it was a challenge for police and the hospital to ensure the campus could

Creations cross country Georgia artist finds her place in Parker By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Stage fright is generally associated with performers, not painters, but Anne T. Nielsen says it’s kept her from showing her work, until now. Nielsen, from Appling, a small town outside Augusta, Georgia, has an exhibit, “Ribbons of Energy” at the Deep Space Workplace and Event Center at 11020 S Pikes Peak Drive in Parker. The show opened Sept. 8 and runs until the end of the month, but it was years in the making. Nielsen was on her way to becoming a professional painter and won a national competition in Pittsburgh in 2000 when fate and “bad luck” made her apprehensive to take her work public. “I developed a kind of stage fright,” she said. “I just kind of painted and put them in the attic.” A show in New York City, scheduled for Sept. 12, 2001, wasn’t canceled by the terrorist attacks, but almost no one came, and her artwork was returned with dust from the World Trade Center towers on it. A show in Georgia in 2005 was sabo-
taged when Hurricanes Rita and Katrina cut off the supply of gasoline to the Augusta area, preventing her from delivering her work to the show. Her last scheduled exhibit in McCormack, South Carolina, opened on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Again, no one came. Nielsen continued painting, but her work didn’t mesh with the Augusta scene. “Our area’s a little more traditional in our art, there is abstract art, but it’s different,” she said. “Mine doesn’t really fit, it’s an abstracted idea rather than an abstract paint stroke.” Nielsen’s paintings put viewers in mind of images from alien landscapes to moving patterns of energy. She describes them as “ribbony work with a threedimensional quality.” She developed her style, she says, after reading about a particle accelerator years ago. “I thought, what if we could see the motion in every cell,” she said. “I began having dreams of what that would look like.” It wasn’t until two years ago that a friend, who had moved to Georgia from Castle Rock, saw Nielsen’s attic full of paintings and pointed her in the direction where she could find an audience, and a mentor. “She saw my work and said ‘you really need to meet this guy I know,’” Nielsen
Artist Anne T. Nielsen gets ready for her September exhibit at Deep Space Workplace and Event Center in Parker on Sept. 6. Nielsen says her style of abstract painting fits the Colorado art scene better than Georgia’s. Photo by Tom Skelley said. The “guy” was Tadashi Hayakawa, an abstract painter who does weekly sessions at Deep Space. Tadashi called Nielsen soon after, and urged her to join him in Colorado. Nielsen’s husband, Dan, gave her his
support, and his frequent flier miles, and between 2014 and 2016 she made a dozen trips to Parker to work with Tadashi. “He’s really been a moving force in my life, investing his time and energy into me,” she said. “I’m not afraid anymore.”
Old latex paint? Don’t flip out! Dry it out! Have you been stockpiling cans of latex paint, waiting for the next Douglas County Household Chemical Roundup? Good news – latex paint is water-based and safe to throw away, if prepared properly. If the paint is completely dry, simply remove the lid and throw the can away. If there is still wet paint in the can, mix in some dirt or cat litter to fully absorb it. Once it is dry, throw it away. Save yourself a trip to the Roundup (and the $25 contribution) if you have water-based paint. Remember, this only applies to water-based latex paint, and NO paint can be dumped in the gutter or thrown in the trash wet.

Small hands, big hearts Preschoolers thank first responders to commemorate 9/11 By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Students at Parker’s Merryhill Preschool marked a somber anniversary with smiles, high-fives and tokens of gratitude on Sept. 12, presenting thank you cards and gifts to staff from the Parker Police Department and South Metro Fire Rescue. The school hosted a “Day of Thanks,” on the first school day following the 15th anniversary of 9/11, to show appreciation for the service police and firefighters perform all year long and to commemorate the terrorist attacks their parents and teachers remember well.
Parker Chronicle 9
Fifty students from all seven of the school’s classrooms made cards for the service personnel, and parents and staff donated gift baskets to South Metro Fire Rescue Station 46 and the Parker Police Department. Members of the police and fire departments came to the school to meet students and answer their questions about the life-saving work they do every day. Kelsee Miller, assistant principal at Merryhill, said the event was about remembering the past and building relationships for the future. “We wanted to do something to commemorate the anniversary of 9/11,” she said via email. “We felt that the ‘Day of Thanks’ was a great way for our students to get involved and say ‘thank you’ to our local police and fire departments. It was also an opportunity for our kids at Merryhill Preschool in Parker to meet and build relationships with our local firefighters.”

We are better than that ... aren’t we? Here’s the scenario: You have been invited to a function or party where you know that there will be a few people in attendance who will be cynical, judgmental, opinionated and who will speak condescendingly to everyone they feel is not quite an equal. It is so obvious we almost choose not to attend the party just so we don’t have to be subjected to the torment. But we are better than that. We know there will be more people attending that we do care to see and be with, and we predetermine in our mind that if we become the target of glares and stares or a sarcastic or condescending remark that we have prepared our gracious and powerful response as we take the high road. We do this because we are better than that. Or maybe we are waiting patiently in a line or traffic and we see someone trying to get ahead of us, they are weaving into our lane or trying to cut the line. We watch as others get aggravated and we observe the wrong and rude behavior of the line-cutting perpetrator, but instead of jumping on the road rage bandwagon or shoulder block the person trying to get ahead of us, we slow down and again offer grace as we allow them to get ahead of us. We do this because maybe they have a real reason or emergency to attend to, but more importantly do you
know why we do this? Because we are better than that. Taking the high road is never to be mistaken as being a doormat. I am not advocating weakness — far from it, I am advocating strength. It’s easy for the weak and unconfident to take out Michael Norton their frustrations and insecurities on another WINNING person or attempt to WORDS take advantage of a situation or control or manipulate someone. It takes strength, confidence and grace to take the high road, see through the veil of the phony and fake, and to provide hope and encouragement through the strength of our words and actions. And why do we do this? That’s right, because we are better than that. And the sooner we can help embrace this concept, share this message with our friends and children, the sooner we can maybe make a difference in the world. Maybe that difference is in our own family, our circle of friends, the social circles we travel in, our workplace, our houses of worship, and most
importantly we need to get this message of “being better than that” into the hearts and minds of our children and grandchildren, and maybe, just maybe we can stem the tide of bullying at every level. So are you the person people worry about being in attendance at a wedding or party? Are you the person who maybe considers yourself above the others who will be there and who sits in judgment of others? Were you a bully when you were younger and continue to bully others in your adult life? Is your child one of the bullies at school? Tough questions, I know, but I ask you these questions because if you answered yes, or even feel like you could have answered yes, I have great news for you: You are better than that too. What’s your story? Or what is your opinion? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And as we provide grace to one another and take the high road, and as we all realize that we are indeed better than that, or we are at least capable of being better than that, this will be a better-thangood week and the start to a better-thangood life.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Teachers must be kept involved Doug Benevento’s remarks following his belated resignation from the Douglas County School Board brought a rare opportunity for me to agree with his position: change is hard for some people. Unfortunately, the remark itself is the extent of our agreement. Based on his comments and actions as a board member, his implication is surely that those resisting change were obstructionists, unwilling to change. My experience with high school staffs in Summit County and at the University of Denver suggests teachers are just the opposite. Although they found that change was difficult, staffs in both locations took significant measures to deliver education differently. Summit County staff implemented a mastery learning program. Both groups raised the lowest passing grade for students to 73 percent and 80 percent, respectively. Block schedules of 90 minutes at Summit County High School and 135 minutes at the University of Denver High School were approved in order to provide better educational opportunities for students. At D.U., the staff implemented a curriculum based on a problem-based learning approach. The staffs were willing to take such significant actions because they were directly involved in the adoption and implementation of the programs and decisions. Benevento and his original colleagues, deeming themselves educational experts, failed to involve teaching staff in any significant way — thus, resistance at every step. Hopefully, a change in the board’s attitude will continue to evolve, either with the current four-member majority accepting the will of the community as indicated in the last election or by a better-informed, more astute majority being elected at the next opportunity. The impending community survey, especially the nature of the questions asked and the use of the results, will give us a better idea of the current board majority’s intent.

It’s gray, but “gray” has no poetry or pretension in it, so Sherwin-Williams came up with “Poised Taupe.” In 2012, the Color of the Year was green, but Sherwin-Williams called it “Argyle.” In 2013, it was light green, but they called it “Aloe.”
In 2014, “Exclusive Plum.” In 2015, “Coral Reef.” In 2016, “Alabaster.” Poised Taupe is “what happens when cool gray gets together with brown and has a baby.” Or it’s what happens when I clean my brushes in turpentine. The liquid is kind of a light warm gray. In other words, it’s Poised Taupe. Some people need to be told what color to paint the pantry. Not me. My home is white, with tasteful accents of white, right next to white and more white. I don’t want anything to clash with the dachshund.

Demographics provide prediction of future Everyone needs a financial plan at some point in their lives. It is no secret that the earlier you start, the more likely you will be to reach your goals while requiring less money. This is because time and compounding are on your side. However, it is always interesting how people are more engaged in the process the older they get. Running out of time is scary and running out of money is worse. Therefore, many investment strategies are being created to assist retirees with income. However, taking advantage of the growth market fueled by the over-50 crowd may provide more assets for longer. It is important for all generations to realize that the bulk of goods and services available are aimed at the age group with the most disposable income and the largest demographic pool. You can look back at the impact of the baby boomer generation - 76 million strong - as they progressed in age. Products boomed from Gerber baby food to new elementary schools and then hordes of teens hanging out at fast food joints (some with really cool cars) as this massive generation grew up. Then as adults the demands were for suburbia housing, mini vans and super-
markets. Now they are retiring and the statistics are worth noting, as it will impact what is available for any age group until Gen X (55 million) and the millennials (66 million) amass enough wealth to impact Patricia Kummer product offerFINANCIAL ings. The boomer STRATEGIES generation is starting to shrink due to deaths and fewer immigrants over age 55. Therefore it is predicted that the millennials will exceed the boomers by 2030. However Gen X may always be the smaller stepchild and may not impact economic growth as much as the two larger siblings.¹ Currently, the fastest-growing segment of the population consists of people over age 100². In 2016, 115 million Americans are over age 50 and 40 million are over age 65. Yet only 7 percent of boomers and 22
percent of seniors have a financial plan. That may be why these next statistics are a bit dire: • Thirty-three percent are still working but had expected to be retired by now. • Fifty-five percent are unsure how much they will need or if they can retire.³ The largest age group of investors is age 50-64. And this age group is embarking on a future like no other generation before them. They expect to live longer, healthier, more active lives than their parents, and they will likely spend more on wants versus needs such as travel and sports. And perhaps they are investing in things they will benefit from when they are older. Such as things that improve eyesight, hearing, mobility and memory loss as well as ranch style or retirement community housing. The growth segment will be anything related to goods and services to satisfy the insatiable appetite of the instant-gratification crowd. The older end of the boomer spectrum consists of people looking for services to assist those who are unable to provide for themselves. That might include taking care of the yard and house, shuttle services, meal planning and online bank-
ing and shopping for the homebound. Medical centers are popping up all over town along with drive-through pharmacies, and group travel experiences are on the rise. These demographic trends tell a story that will impact our economy in the future. It may be beneficial to be prepared for these changes. One change coming up is open enrollment for Medicare and health insurance. There is a free workshop on Medicare planning set for Sept. 21 at 6:30 p.m. at the Highlands Ranch Library, 9292 S.

Time to bring higher standards to amendment process When Coloradans vote this year, they will help determine the economic future of the state through a number of initiatives on the ballot. In short, this is a ballot as varied and potentially impactful as any we’ve ever faced. While the specific issues may be unique to 2016, the process of putting transformative policies of all stripes to a vote of the entire electorate, thereby locking them intractably into the state constitution, is not. Colorado is among a handful of states with an absurdly easy process for altering its state constitution. That’s why the South Metro Denver Chamber has endorsed Amendment 71, coined “Raise the Bar” by the measure’s backers, and why we encourage Colorado voters to pass it. Our constitution deserves to be safeguarded. With more than 150 amendments already housed inside our constitution, Colorado has become a playground for activists from all across the country to parachute in and advance their agenda through the petition process. The reason is the relative ease of gaining access to our ballot, and the result is a document with nearly six times more amendments than the U.S. Constitution, many of which stand in opposition to each other. We fully support a citizenry’s right to alter its foundational document, but we also believe in order to do so, a higher hurdle than one for mere statutory change should be required. That’s what makes Amendment 71 worthy of passage. So what does Amendment 71 do? Cur-

Jordan’s successor, Sue Wadden, was asked about her choice for 2017. “Were you nervous?” “I was a little nervous,” Wadden said. “But when it came down to doing the work, the choice was simple. All signs pointed so strongly in this direction that choosing wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be.” It’s hard for me to take this seriously. Colors are very important to me, but designating just one, and giving it a silly name, is something that has never occurred to me. Mark Woodman, immediate past president of the Color Marketing Group, said — and I promise that I am not making this up — “It’s a very good evolution of gray. We needed a stable gray to get us centered after the financial crisis in 2008.” The Color Marketing Group comes up with the colors that “you’ll want to wear, drive and decorate with two years from now.”
rently, supporters of a constitutional amendment must obtain signatures totaling 5 percent of votes cast in the most recent election for Secretary of State. This requirement would not change. What would change is a provision that Robert Golden demands 2% be GUEST gathered from each of Colorado’s state COLUMN Senate districts. This matters because it’s possible (and even likely) that activists can gather signatures from densely populated communities along the Front Range. Amendment 71 ensures that citizens from all over the state have a voice in determining what gets included for consideration in the constitution, ensuring if something does make the ballot, all sectors of Colorado are represented. The other main change included in Amendment 71 is the higher threshold for passage. Instead of a mere majority, Amendment 71 requires a 55% passage rate from voters for approval. This ensures only bedrock principles supported by a larger cross-section of our state’s voters alter our most important document. It’s important to note that in our support, the South Metro Denver Chamber does not advocate for diminishing or
I’m sure there are some well-paid color consultants at CMG, but I think a chicken at the Iowa State Fair could do the same thing for next to nothing. I paint with a variety of brands. One of them, Gamblin, collects the pigments from their air filtration system every spring and recycles them into what they call “Torrit Grey.” Then it goes into tubes and it is distributed to art supplies stores all across the country, who give it away with every Gamblin purchase. You know what it looks like? It looks exactly like what happens when cool gray gets together with brown and has a baby. I am mocking the whole thing, but I want the job. I would pace back and forth, and lose sleep over my selections. And then. I would turn in my list: Poised Toupee, Algae, Ointment, Coral Beef and Abraham Lincoln’s Beard.

outright eliminating anyone’s right to propose change in how we’re governed. Far from it. Issues of public concern, particularly those brought forth in the citizen initiative process, deserve full and vigorous public vetting and debate. Amendment 71 does not affect the process for proposing statutory change, an important distinction in the way it’s written. We support Amendment 71 because we represent hundreds of businesses, and, by extension, thousands of employees. Businesses seek certainty to operate prosperously. And when it’s possible – even easy – to change our most founda-
tional document, you eliminate much of that certainty, which affects a business’s ability to successfully plan long term. It seems only prudent to request that those who wish to foundationally affect all of Colorado obtain signatures from every corner of the state and earn approval from a greater majority of voters. Let’s Raise the Bar, Colorado. For the good of Colorado’s businesses, citizens and our state constitution. Robert Golden is the president/CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce.

But you have to understand what amphibians and reptiles need By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com
WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE BUYING AN EXOTIC PET
T
hey may look completely different, but a bearded dragon lizard reminds Dillon Lanigan of a dog. “It’s a pretty amazing bond people form with their reptiles and amphibians,” said Lanigan, manager of the Northglenn Scales ‘N Tails. “Reptiles imprint on you — if you get them young enough — and the affection that can exist is almost doglike.” Although it might surprise those with no experience, people who love exotic pets — like frogs, lizards, snakes and turtles — know these animals can make some of the most engaging pets for people of all ages. “We have several customers who are past 70 years old and have had snakes for years,” Lanigan said. “We have all ages, and all walks of life, who come through our shop.” Because pet shops that specialize in exotic animals aren’t as common as ones who cater to traditional furry friends, stores like Scales ‘N Tails, which also has locations in Lakewood and Englewood, Arvada’s Feeder Frenzy and Parker Exotic Pets become hubs for a culture. On any given Saturday, novices walk into Feeder Frenzy with questions about their first pet as experienced reptile owners pick up their weekly food supply. And then there’s the regular customers who stop by to visit. Perhaps they want to talk about how their pet is doing, see the new arrivals or hear what co-owners Jack Nelson and Dave Meidinger are working on. “We take an old-school approach to our shop, almost like a barbershop,” Meidinger said. “We want to ensure people are comfortable here and not afraid to ask questions.” There are plenty of misconceptions about amphibians and reptiles, and education is one of these shops’ best services to their customers, the owners said. Lanigan, Meidinger and Nelson all have extensive experience and gladly share their expertise. “Between the two of us, we’ve dealt with all kinds of species,” Nel-
Cost: Glass tanks and enclosures can be expensive, and many of these animals require lighting and heating that will add to electricity bills. Feeding and veterinary costs must also be considered. Size: Get a clear sense of how big the animal will grow. Larger animals require more space and higher feeding costs. Care: Everyone in the household should be on board with taking care of the animal. If one party loses interest, others must step up to ensure the animal is healthy and happy.
A black and white Argentine tegu takes a whiff with its tongue at Parker Exotic Pets in Parker on Sept. 8. The store’s owner, Jennifer Nystrom, says reptile owners often own dogs or cats as well and just want to add “something a little different” to their lives. Photo by Tom Skelley son said, referring to Meidinger. “We also work very closely with Homeward Bound Veterinary hospital, so if people have sick animals, they can help.” Before any animal is brought into Parker Exotic Pets, owner Jennifer Nystrom and manager Hanna Stroh do a lot of research to make sure they fully understand how to care for the animals and can share that information with customers. “It’s important to us we know how to provide excellent care,” Stroh said. “We’re doing research all the time to stay up on the latest information.” Since most amphibians and reptiles require glass tanks, heating lamps and specific foods, Scales ‘N Tails and Feeder Frenzy are cautious about to whom they sell their animals. “Things like increases in electrical bills and feed costs add up quite quickly,” Lanigan said. “Certain animals are just not for everybody, and people need to be smart about deciding if they should own these kinds of pets.” Pets continues on Page 13
Other pets: It’s important to consider how a new pet will affect any pets currently in a household. For example, if a house already has birds or other small animals, it may not be a good environment for a snake or large lizard.
Bearded dragons make a great starter lizard, said Dillon Lanigan, manager of Northglenn’s Scales ‘n’ Tails pet shop. He describes them as doglike in their affection. Courtesy photo

Writing about music and lessons learned With my recent vacation and trying to regain my work rhythm upon my return, the anniversary of this column quietly sailed by on Sept. 3. Looking back on my first year as Colorado Community Media’s music columnist, here are a few figures I noted: I’ve written 27 columns, received a dozen fantastic recommendations from readers, curated eight different lists, and received only one mildly threatening letter. Not bad for a year’s work. Sharing my thoughts on music and the subtle and overwhelming ways it touches our lives has been an extraordinarily edifying experience. In honor of this occasion, I’d like to share some lessons I’ve learned. The first, and most repeated lesson, is the different ways music can be interpreted, affecting the listener based on his or her life experiences. In a piece I wrote about music helping with the grieving process, I mentioned artists like James Taylor and Simon and Garfunkel as being immensely comforting during hard times. But I heard from several readers who said they grew up with those musicians’ work, and found them to be joyous music for happy
Pets Continued from Page 12
The Foothills Animal Shelter often becomes the home for these pets, after they’ve been surrendered by their owners. “We get pets from people who just weren’t ready for whatever the animal needs to thrive,” said Jessi Burns, marketing and communications manager with the shelter. “We’ve been trying to get the word out more about our ‘critter corner’ area, and the animals in need of a home there.” One of the best ways to ensure a household is ready for an exotic pet is to do a lot of research, Burns said, and to talk to people who have experience keeping these animals as pets. “Make sure everyone in the house is on board with taking care of the animal,” she said. “So often children get these animals, but when they lose interest, the parents don’t want to take
times, too. So much of art depends on the listener, and as a critic and consumer it can be easy to forget that. Thankfully, I have readers who aren’t afraid to share their musical stories. Another lesClarke Reader son I’ve learned is “the classics” are LINER called that for a NOTES reason — they still have a strong pull on people of all ages. Some of the columns I received the most feedback from, not just from older residents but people in my age group of 30-somethings, touched on the continued impact of classic artists and genres. In my first column I asked readers to share their favorite song of the summer. The bulk of the results fell into the classic rock and pop arenas — songs like Sly Stone’s “Hot Fun in the Summertime” and “Summer Nights” from “Grease” were popular choices. Even my favorite sum-
mer song is “Night Move” by Bob Seger. One of the most interesting lessons I learned is that while music may ease conversation of social issues and changes, that doesn’t mean discussion of said issues or topics will go smoother. In this column I’ve written twice about the ways music can impact politics and political discourse, about supporting women who are victims of abuse and the important music coming out of the Black Lives Matter movement. I hoped using music as an entryway to these topics — a bridge to potential divides by using a shared language and art — would make reaching out easier. There was certainly some of that in the past year, but we can all try harder to have open dialogue about issues that make us uncomfortable. Those are just some of the key lessons I’ve taken away from this first year, and I’m eager to engage with more of you about why you love music. Thanks for sticking with me on this ride. Now go press play on something great. Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colo-

care of the pet either.” There are so many varieties of reptiles and amphibians, and that’s one of the things that makes them such great pets, Stroh said. “It’s so exciting to see all the different personalities these animals have, even within the same species,” she said. “ Depending on how much time you want to spend on the animal, there are a lot of options.” Reptiles and amphibians can be great pets for children, if taught properly, Burns said. A key lesson is how to be responsible and care for another living

Meeting over coffee and doughnuts after church in 1989, three nurses — Pat Logue, Jeanne Schwarz and Teresa McWilliams — talked about the need for an assisted living facility in the Castle Rock area. “We thought it was sad that people who were getting on in years had to go all the way to Denver or Colorado Springs,” Logue said. “We recognized the need, and that we needed to do something about it.” The trio opened the doors to the Cantril House in 1992, taking a concept that was largely unheard of in the Douglas County area and growing it into a company with three facilities in Castle Rock and Parker. Schwarz and McWilliams moved on to other endeavors years ago. And on Aug. 31, after more than 25 years with the company they started, Logue is moving on, too. Logue and her partners began researching and fundraising for Cantril House in 1989, at a time before

Lone Tree Arts Center hosts award-winner Steve Winter
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Asian jungles, Himalayan mountain heights, Latin American rain forests and even metropolitan Los Angeles … Award-winning photographer Steve Winter has traveled the world in search of big cats and other wildlife. He has been attacked by rhinos in India, stalked by jaguars in Brazil, charged by an 11-foot grizzly in Siberia and trapped in quicksand in the world’s largest tiger reserve in Myanmar. He slept in a tent for six months at 40 below zero to track the rare snow leopard. And year-round, he does all in his power to save these endangered animals from extinction. Winter will appear at Lone Tree Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 27 and 10 a.m. on Sept. 28 with his program, “On the Trail of the Big Cats with Steve Winter” — the first of four National Geographic Live programs
National Geographic photographer Steve Winter will speak at Lone Tree Arts Center about his adventures with big cats and how he shot his photos, like this one of a leopard. in the Lone Tree season. This wildlife journalist/conservation photographer grew up in Iowa and studied journalism at Iowa State University. He received his first camera on his seventh birthday, a gift from his father, and has been a National Geographic photographer since 1991. He lectures nationally and interna-
tionally on photography and conservation issues and has published several books, including the beautiful coffee-table volume published by National Geographic, “Tigers Forever: Saving the World’s Most Endangered Cat.” Winter’s illustrated lecture will include stories of his adventures in jungles, deserts
and on mountainous trails as he searches for fascinating animals — and also finds fascinating cultures and people. He wants to give his audiences a reason to care about their world and its inhabitants. Additional National Geographic Live programs listed in the Lone Tree Arts Center’s Calendar for the upcoming season: • Nov. 15, 16 — “The Lens of Adventure” • Jan 17, 18 — “Spinosaurus — Lost Giant of the Cretaceous” • May 16, 17 — “The Search for Life Beyond Earth”

SWORD OF FATE
Journey to Barcelona, Paris recorded in paintings, photos
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com In May, a group of Arapahoe Community College-based artists flew to Barcelona, Spain, and later to Paris, with the objective of recording each city as
each artist perceived it — in paintings or photographs. Media used varied widely and some larger pieces were probably finished in home studios. Faculty members who accompanied the group were photographer Trish Sangelo and painter Marsha Wooley, who have led a number of the ACC Travel Abroad Artists excursions to various visually entrancing locations — catnip for an artist.

accept his resignation was successful. The District E seat is now officially vacant. The district encompasses Lone Tree, Acres Green, Castle Pines and eastern Highlands Ranch. “The citizens of District E deserve a process as soon as possible to fill the vacancy,” school board President Meghann Silverthorn said. A replacement will be required to reside in the district and will serve out the remainder of Benevento’s term, which expires at the end of 2017. Term limits would have prevented him from running in the next school board election in November 2017. Ray was chosen by the board to work with Silverthorn to identify the finalists who will be interviewed. “Now that all the political implications have been made transparent, I believe we can work toward filling the vacancy with someone who can collaborate in a nonpartisan manner,” Ray said. “My hope is that we can eliminate the mentality of a majority vs. a minority
and finally have diplomatic conversations that are based on negotiating, compromising and finding common ground.” Applications for the vacancy will be taken until Sept. 21 on the district website, www.dcsdk12.org. Finalists will be brought to the board for interviews at the Oct. 4 meeting and the call for motions to nominate individuals will occur at the Oct. 18 meeting. In the event the board does not select a person by the end of the 60th day following the declaration of the vacancy — which would be Nov. 7 — the president of the board will appoint a person to fill the vacancy as required by law. The group Voices for Public education said allowing Benevento to vote on accepting his own resignation was troubling, since the resolution directly affected him. “Our hope is that the process for selecting a replacement board member will be open, transparent and fair — things the resignation process was not,” said spokesperson Amy DeValk. “We look for a candidate who is a strong supporter of a wellrounded, high-quality public education for all students.” Benevento announced Aug. 17 he was resigning
effective immediately. He made his announcement public in an opinion piece in a Denver media outlet as well as privately to Silverthorn the same day. Benevento said he was resigning because he had accomplished what he set out to do in his seven years on the board and didn’t believe much else could be accomplished before the 2017 board election. Silverthorn notified the other board members of Benevento’s resignation via email the day she was notified but did not forward his one-sentence resignation letter, she said. While Silverthorn, board Vice President Judith Reynolds and James Geddes voted to approve the resignation Sept. 6, board members Wendy Vogel, Anne-Marie Lemieux and Ray voted not to accept it. “My reason for voting against accepting Director Benevento’s resignation was to call out the inappropriate practice of term-limited board members who resign before fulfilling their term,” Ray said. “This is a political maneuver that gives the person filling the vacancy an unfair advantage in being considered as an incumbent at the next board election.” The three opposing board members also said proce-

dure was not followed because they had not received Benevento’s resignation in writing. Silverthorn presented it to all board members on Sept. 6, before the first vote. Vogel said the original resolution gave Aug. 17 as the date of Benevento’s resignation and that since she had not received it on that date, she could “not agree to a document that is false.” An amendment was made to the final resolution to show that Benevento’s resignation was submitted on Aug. 17 but accepted by the board Sept. 8. “I voted for the resolution because it was done properly and most importantly because it reflected that although Mr. Benevento submitted his written resignation to the board president on Aug. 17, it wasn’t duly accepted by the board until Sept. 8,” Vogel said. “I am always happy when we can come to a consensus among the board and be able to do the work we’re charged to do.” Silverthorn reiterated that everything done in regard to Benevento’s resignation was according to board policy. “Although the acceptance is merely a formality, since Director Benevento was clear that he wanted to resign his

Images range from a close-up look at a pair of lovers to a garden, to a cityscape showing rooftops, to market scenes, images from Gaudi’s Barcelona architecture, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, narrow old streets, boats in Barcelona Harbor, abstracts that suggest sunshine and color, interiors of ancient churches and Gaudi’s still-to-be-finished Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Barcelona … The collection of resulting artwork is now exhibited at Colorado Gallery of the Arts through Oct. 4. Some will then have more exposure. A large number of the works have a note next to them now, stating that the painting or photograph will be exhibited elsewhere when this
show is over. Some will move to ACC’s Church Street Gallery from Oct. 5 until January, including Rosemary Lohnert’s large, bright abstract, “El Rez,” and Kathy C. Ballah’s “Lunch at Bagueria Market,” a photograph of people enjoying the lunch counter, seated in brightly painted bar chairs. A viewer figures each person probably has a story to tell. The college’s Administrative Gallery will host a number more, both from Oct. 5 to Nov. 4 and Nov. 8 to Dec. 30, including Zacharia Ruhter’s oil painting, “Girona Cathedral,” and his “Barcelona Boats.” Pam Hostetler of Parker recorded her trip with a number of watercolors, including “Girona Garden Window,” which will also go to the Administrative Gallery in December. She also shares her very full sketch book, displayed on a pedestal — handle with care! It’s fun to see this very personal record.
Instructor Marsha Wooley’s large oil painting, “Barcelona Harbor,” will also be displayed in the Administrative Gallery in October and then in Parker Hospital’s Healing Arts Gallery in November/ December. She also has a pair of intriguing Picasso-inspired collages in the ACC exhibit — a switch from her beautifully executed landscapes. An interesting perspective on the Eiffel Tower appears: As it has undergone restoration, the engraved names of 72 French scientists and engineers in the original design have been uncovered after being covered over in the early 20th century. The information is included with Kathy C. Ballah’s photo “Eiffel Tower’s Homage to Men of Science.” The next artists’ trip will be in May to England — London and more — led by Trish Sangelo. Information is available inside the exhibit entrance to the left.

non-league game at EchoPark Automotive Stadium was which team would come out ready to play. Ponderosa (1-1) rebounded in impressive fashion by scoring 35 points in the first quarter en route to a 56-6 win over the Huskies (0-3). “We started off refocused, and needed to get the win after the tough loss last week,” said Ponderosa junior quarterback Sterling Ostdahl. “We were pretty pumped up. Everyone was kind of dialed in during practice and everyone kind of had a chip on their shoulders.” Douglas County coach Gene Hill suspected his team had a hangover from the

loss to Castle View. “We laid an egg,” he said. “As coaches and players, we both have to look in the mirror and get better.” Key moments Ponderosa scored on six possessions and added a 44-yard punt return by Jaren Whitehead to take a 42-0 halftime lead and start the running clock. Douglas County had only 1 yard of total offense in the first quarter and 27 yards in the first half. Football continues on Page 26

Mick McCall has a message for Broncos fans who might still have concerns about the learning curve that quarterback Trevor Siemian is facing. Siemian made his first National Football League start in the Thursday night game Sept. 8 and helped the Broncos beat Carolina, 21-20, in a Super Bowl rematch in Denver. McCall, the former Douglas County High athlete and Huskies and Mullen football coach, is the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks mentor at Northwestern, where he Jim Benton tutored Siemian. He says there was OVERTIME nothing surprising about Siemian’s firstgame performance and he echoed the Broncos players’ praise of their quarterback’s composure and athletic ability. “I keep telling everybody he is a real level guy and he never gets too high or gets too low,” McCall said. “He connects with everybody, whether it’s the offensive line, the defensive line, DBs or wide receivers. “As a football player, he’s always had a live arm and really studies the game hard. He just takes things as they come... He doesn’t get rattled.” Siemian, who was the Broncos’ third quarterback last season but only took one kneel-down snap in a regularseason game, completed 18 of 26 passes for 178 yards and a touchdown, and he showed the ability to rush for first downs. But he threw two interceptions. Denver fans booed several times when the offense left the field. “He’s not going to let one mistake or a bump in the road hurt him,” McCall said. “He’s going to keep playing and do what he can do. We always talked about this — worry about things you can control and take care of those things. Things out of your control you just have to get up and find a way the next time.” Siemian has the ability to anticipate and throw to receivers before they break away from defenders, which is sometimes hard for new NFL starters to master. “He’s always done that,” McCall said. “We always talked about throwing people open, rather than waiting for them to get open. He’ll anticipate a little bit and trust his guys. He has great confidence with his receivers and everybody up front.” Siemian was part of a two-quarterback system at Northwestern with former Cherry Creek standout Kain Colter. “It was all about the team,” McCall said. “No matter what happens with the decision to start (in Denver), Trevor is always going to be a team guy.” New boys lacrosse coaches John Gallant, who played 14 seasons for the Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League, has been hired as the boys lacrosse coach at Rock Canyon, Jaguars’ Athletic Director Tom Brieske said. Gallant retired as a player in 2015 and has spent the past two seasons as an assistant boys lacrosse coach at Valor Christian. He replaces Louis Goldin, who resigned as the Jaguars’ head coach. Golden Athletic Director JC Summers said Mike Thumin is returning to Golden to take over from Kurt Ohlen as boys lacrosse coach. Benton continues on Page 26

Mustangs ‘a fun group to coach’ Ponderosa gymnastics team made up of students from six high schools By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The numbers grew by three from last year as Ponderosa entered the gymnastics season with 35 girls on the roster. The Mustangs compete in Class 5A and attend meets that vary from a large invitational to the three-team meet held Sept. 7 at Elizabeth High School. “Our team is made up of girls who have solid skill levels,” Mustangs coach Lisa Fischer said during the meet. “This is a fun group to coach because these girls are very determined.” Ponderosa is a consolidated team that includes students from Ponderosa and five other schools: Castle View, Chaparral, Douglas County, Legend and SkyView Academy. Of the 35 girls this season, “we have eight seniors who are solid competitors for us,” Fischer said. “We also have a number of freshmen and sophomores, which is good because they will be the varsity competitors in future seasons.” The majority of the girls on the Ponderosa team are members of club teams that compete in gymnastics throughout the year. High school gymnastics consists of competition in four events — balanced beam, floor exercise, vault and uneven parallel bars. Ponderosa has talented competitors in all events, Fischer said, but probably the Mustangs’ best events are vault and uneven parallel bars. Ponderosa senior Mackenzie Warren is in her 14th year in gymnastics. “Probably because I was so active and full of energy, my parents enrolled me in tiny tot tumbling classes,” she said. “I fell in love with the sport so I never stopped ... Gymnastics requires a lot of physical ability but it also requires mental toughness.” She said it is exciting to achieve a goal
Jordan Pollart begins a tumbling run as the Ponderosa gymnast competes in the floor exercise at the Sept. 7 three-team meet at Elizabeth High School. The Mustangs competed in four events: floor exercise, vault, uneven parallel bars and balanced beam. Photos by Tom Munds after hard work. “It takes a lot of dedication because it takes a lot of time and effort to master a specific skill,” she said. “But when you master that skill, it is such a rush of accomplishment that is an amazing feeling.” Warren’s favorite event — and her best event — is the vault. “Maybe that is because vault techniques come easy to me,” she said. When the high school season concludes, Warren will continue competing with her club team. “I plan to stay with the sport in some manner,” she said. “But I don’t have any plans to compete in gymnastics when I go to college.”Abolishing LIFT would be a

Key players/statistics Ponderosa’s Sterling Ostdahl completed 5-of-6 passes for 91 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for two scores. Mikey Thomas, the Mustangs’ leading rusher with 87 yards, had a rushing touchdown to go along with rushing touchdowns by Quinton Ostdahl and JeVon Glover. Quinton Ostdahl led the Ponderosa defense with nine total tackles, three for losses, and one sack. Douglas County quarterback Kenneth Saunders, who connected on 3-of-12 passes for 59 yards, threw a 16-yard score to Eric Howard on the last play of the game as the Huskies used three timeouts to beat the running clock and get a touchdown. They said it “I was very happy with our execution,” Ponderosa coach Jaron Cohen said. “Through all phases of the game we were extremely sharp. It was a fine defensive effort highlighted by Drew Behrens (seven total tackles including a sack) and Garrett Dunn (six total tackles).” It didn’t make much difference except to spoil a shutout, but Hill said the Huskies’ touchdown on the last play of the game was important. “I’m proud of these guys, the way we finished,” he said. “A lot of coaches might have let it go but I called those timeouts because it was important for us to finish.

ARTFEST SWEEPS THROUGH CASTLE ROCK The Colorado Artfest brought a colorful display of mixed-media creations to Castle Rock last weekend. About 170 artists from around the nation gathered in Castle Rock on Sept. 10 and 11, showing sculptures, photography, jewelry, paintings and more. This year’s festival, which was sponsored by the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce, also featured a new event. The Rock After Dark After Party brought live rock music to the festival from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sept. 10, allowing eventgoers to stay after hours.

They sold their home in Larkspur and bought an RV and traded in their Prius for a Jeep. “I’m a vagabond now,” Logue said. “We’re going to travel the country for a year, then decide what we want to do when we grow up.” Staff members at each facility plan to post maps on the walls, placing pegs on the places Logue and her husband visit to help them stay connected to the employees and residents in Douglas County. Logue said she will come back to visit, too, and she knows the houses she founded will be there to welcome her — and residents — for years to come. “We wanted it to be something that would last forever,” she said. “It’s a good thing that it came together, and it should be around for a long time after I’m gone.”
