Hundreds of thousands pour into school board contest

REMEMBER THESE TITANS: Legend’s softball team captures the school’s first state title P24

Amount given directly to campaigns is small part of money devoted to election

BY ALEX DEWIND AND CHRIS ROTAR STAFF WRITERS

Candidates’ campaigns in this year’s races for Douglas County School Board have already raised more than double the amount of money received by hopefuls two years ago.

But the $168,850 donated directly to those campaigns this year is only a fraction of the money being spent to sway voters in an election that could change the direction of the school district, which has been led by reform-minded board members since 2009.

Committees and groups supportive of — but not affiliated with — candidates have injected more than half a million dollars into the race.

Pedestrians, cyclists work to coexist on trail Not everyone obeys the posted speed limit

BY JULIE A. TAYLOR SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Residents around Cottonwood Park are expressing their ongoing concern about safety along the Cherry Creek Trail.

Some pedestrians, and even some cyclists, have pointed out how some bikers can create dangerous situations by speeding, passing without warning and even shouting rude comments in an area where playgrounds and other park structures attract young children.

The Town of Parker noticed the problem, and realized that population growth is exacerbating tensions.

Officials have been meeting to discuss possible solutions, but a plan has not yet been put into action.

Elise Penington, communications director for the Town of Parker, said the trail has more than 300 cyclists daily during warmer months, and the town council has noted the concern from locals. They are now discussing the addition of a soft-surface trail for walkers and runners alongside Cherry Creek Trail.

“This would provide a little more trail user capacity, and hopefully minimize user conflicts,” Penington said.

Parker resident Kristin Pazdernik walks her two dogs a few times a week along the trail, and fears for their safety, especially when passed by cyclists geared up and training for races.

“Mostly the interactions that are unpleasant are when (the cyclists) zoom by at great speeds without any

warning,” Pazdernik said. “Their bikes are fairly quiet, and when they say nothing, but whip around us, it startles myself and the dogs.”

She thinks it would help if speed limits were lower, or the paths wider.

“We have people that do complain about speeds on the trails,” said Josh Hans, the Parker Police Department’s public information officer. “It’s one of the positives about having a mounted patrol.”

Since December, officers set out a couple of times on horseback each month to monitor the trail, but also work with the horses. On a recent af-

ternoon, Officer Troy Brienzo visited the trail to clock speeds, and found cyclists traveled between 10 to 15 mph.

“When we go out on trails, it’s not an enforcement, writing tickets,” Hans said. “We look at it as an educational opportunity.”

He said they have given tickets along the trail for dogs being off-leash because they escaped from their yard, or in one obscure instance, a dog who attacked. However, police have not ticketed any cyclists, but would give out a ticket to someone caught speeding.

Communities adding bike lanes to enhance transportation, safety

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Daniel Hyde use to be an avid mountain biker, but he now prefers road biking. He logs between 1,500 and 2,000 miles a year and hits the pavement throughout the Denver metro area, he said. His biggest annual venture is a 250-mile, three-day ride that he travels to the East Coast to participate in.

“The big thing is, it’s a low-impact way to stay in good shape,” the 43-year-old Golden man said.

For him, cycling is a way to exercise that presents a low risk of injury.

Still, he said, road biking has its drawbacks.

“The first word that comes to mind is scary,” Hyde said.

When on the road, Hyde said he often competes for space with vehicles, and not all drivers are pleased to share the lane with cyclists.

“When I have every right to the roadway as the vehicles does but the driver of the vehicle isn’t aware of that,” he said, “generally speaking, they can become very, very aggressive.”

There may be good news for Hyde, who also works as a bike patrol officer on Golden’s police force, as many Denver metro communities are looking to provide a clear path for cyclists. For some municipalities, the work began several years ago, and for others, it’s just getting started.

Regardless, officials say adding bike

FOR MORE INFORMATION Information about cycling around the metro area, including maps of existing bike routes and trails is available at www.bicyclecolorado.org/ lanes doesn’t just support more modes of transportation. From a public safety perspective, they enhance the ability for motorists and cyclists to share the road safely and more comfortably.

In Castle Rock, on-road bike lanes have become the new standard. When a new road goes in, excluding smaller neighborhood streets, so does a bike lane. The town has also reviewed its existing roadways and added bike lanes where appropriate, transportation planner Tom Reiff said.

The town has more than 33 miles of bike lanes, and with the construction of new roads, that number is expected to rise.

“Every year it goes up,” Reiff said.

“It’s been a trend throughout the country for quite a while now and we just wanted to make sure that we account for all user groups.”

Reiff said providing a distinguishable space for cyclists can increase safety on the road.

“It alerts motorists to be on the lookout for cyclists, that they might be on the road, so it heightens their awareness,” he said.

Some 2017 Bike to Work Day cyclists in Castle Rock make use of a sidewalk. Tom Reiff, the Castle Rock transportation planner, said the town has been adding bike lanes as it fixes or creates new roads, in order to support multimodal transportation.

Legend High band equipment stolen before state competition Surveillance video shows 2 people in white pickup pulling up behind school

BY TABATHA DEANS STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

5221 S. SANTA FE DR LITTLETON CO. 80120 303.798.8087 STNICKS.COM

The Parker Police Department is asking for the public’s help in finding thieves who stole equipment from Legend High School in the early morning hours of Oct. 19.

Equipment stolen belonged to the school’s marching band, which is scheduled to participate in the 5A Marching Band State Championship next week.

Band members will have a difficult time competing without the vital equipment, according to a police department news release.

Taken from two storage sheds were two generators and carts, four light-up orbs and several heavy duty extension cords. Surveillance videos show two individuals pulling up behind the high school in a white pickup, possibly a Ford F150, according to police.

According to band mom Janel

Neuenschwander, whose son Pete plays baritone in the marching band, parents and community members are banding together to make sure the students will be able to compete in the state finals next week.

“We have been getting donations all day, with several offers for generators and monetary donations,” Neuenschwander said. “The kids were a little sad and in shock, but it’s been neat to see everyone pull together.”

Katherine Anderson, who serves as secretary on the band board of directors, said the theft won’t keep the approximately 120 band members from giving their best at the state competition.

“You can’t keep these kids down.

This shouldn’t stop us, it will just make us stronger,” said Anderson.

“We’ve had such an outpouring of support, including offers from other bands to lend us equipment.”

Police say the stolen items are large and very unique, and are hoping someone in the community will run across them or the suspects.

Anyone with information about these suspects of the stolen items should contact Officer Dan Britton at 303-435-2639.

Elevate slate holds edge in campaign donations

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Campaign finance reports made public by the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office on Oct. 17 show that the eight candidates for Douglas County School Board have collectively raised $168,850 in contributions made directly to their campaigns — about $88,000 more than the six candidates did in the 2015 school board election.

The four candidates on the Elevate Douglas County slate have raised a total of $98,980, compared to the antireform candidates, who together have collected $66,693.

Here is a look at the individual campaigns’ fundraising and some of their larger contributors through the first filing period, which covered Oct. 28, 2016 through Oct. 12 of this year.

What they’re saying about the union’s contribution

Elevate Douglas County Ryan Abresch: He has raised $21,060 from 110 donations, his expense report shows. Some of his larger donations include $1,000 from SEE ELEVATE, P8

ELECTION FROM PAGE 1

Donations include hundreds of thousands of dollars by a national teachers’ union to a Douglas County-based committee that opposes the board’s reforms and at least tens of thousands to a Republican committee that seeks to ensure conservative candidates are elected throughout the state.

Here’s a look at where the money is coming from and how it is being spent in what is officially a nonpartisan election that on Nov. 7 will decide four seats on the school board.

Douglas Schools for Douglas Kids In early October, the American Federation of Teachers donated $300,000 to this committee, according to documents filed with the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office. Douglas Schools for Douglas Kids, based in Parker, registered as an independent expenditure committee — meaning it supports but does not affiliate with any candidates — on Sept.

22. On its website, douglaskids. com, the committee touts the four anti-reform candidates, Krista Holtzmann, Chris Schor, Anthony Graziano and Kevin Leung. The committee’s objective is to back candidates “who are supportive of strong Douglas County public schools and oppose candidates who are not, through activities not coordinated with any candidate,” a registration form filed with the state says.

The American Federation of Teachers, a union based in Washington, D.C., represents 1.7

million members, according to its website.

Douglas Schools for Douglas Kids had raised $400,000 as of Oct. 16, with all of the money coming from two sources. The other contribution, $100,000, came in September from Citizens for Integrity, a group with a Denver post-office box and no other information publicly available.

The committee has spent roughly $238,372 on consultant and professional services for TV, digital and mail promotions, according to documents filed with the state.

The registered agent for the committee is Ronda Scholting, who made an unsuccessful bid for a seat on the Douglas County School Board in 2013.

Colorado Republican Committee A separate independent expenditure committee is supporting the Elevate slate, which is made up of Ryan Abresch, Debora Scheffel, Grant Nelson and Randy Mills. On its registration form with the state, the Colorado Republican Committee, based in Greenwood Village, says its purpose is to spend money “to support Republican candidates and influence or attempt to influence the election of Republican candidates to state and local public office.”

The committee had raised $435,854 between July 1 and Sept.

30, according to documents filed with the state. Recent donations include $100,000 from the Anschutz Corp., an oil and gas company based in Denver, and $100,000 from Peter Coors, vice chairman of Molson Coors Brewing Co. Board of Directors.

Because the group supports various GOP candidates, it is not

known which donations — or how much of the overall money raised — were specifically given to influence voters in the Douglas County School Board race. But documents show the committee has spent $49,827 on mailers and fliers promoting Elevate candidates. The registered agent for the committee is Mike McCauley.

Douglas County Parents Registered with the state as a political committee, Douglas County Parents backs the four anti-reform candidates. The objective of the Highlands Ranchbased committee is to elect new directors who “support public education and oppose corporate education reform,” its registration form says.

Since Dec. 9, 2016, the committee has raised $42,751 from small, local donations, according to documents filed with the state. No recent donations have exceeded $600. The committee has spent $28,241 on advertising and supplies. The registered agent for the committee is Connie Davison.

Americans for Prosperity This conservative group funded by the billionaire Koch brothers is different from the others in that it is registered as a 501(c)4, a nonprofit organization that operates for the “promotion of social welfare,” according to the IRS. Americans for Prosperity is not registered with the state, nor required to be, hence a report of its fundraising and spending was not available. But a spokeswoman for the group recently said it was amid a six-figure campaign to promote school choice in Douglas County, which has long been a mantra for reform-minded school board members.

County Republican Party endorses Elevate slate STAFF REPORT

The Douglas County Republican Party announced its endorsement of the Elevate slate for Douglas County School Board on Oct. 19. A written statement said the move was a needed response to help “level the playing field,” following the national teachers’ union’s $300,000 donation to the anti-reform candidates. The Elevate slate is made up of Ryan Abresch, Debora Scheffel, Grant Nelson and Randy Mills.

“Initially, the (Elevate) candidates requested that the party not become involved because they did not want the race to be about politics,” the statement reads.

The statement continues: “We hope all Republicans in Douglas County will join us in support of these four who are fighting for greater educational opportunities in our schools, to expand vocational education, to respect the choices parents and families make, to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars, and to recruit and retain the best teachers for our schools.

“Make no mistake, voting for Leung, Schor, Holtzmann and Graziano will usher a new wave of radical liberal agenda into our schools.”

School board elections in Colorado are officially nonpartisan contests.

On Oct. 20, the campaigns of the four anti-reform candidates — Anthony Graziano, Krista Holtzmann, Kevin Leung, and Chris Schor — released a joint statement via email in response to both the Douglas County Republicans’ endorsement of the Elevate slate and a Republican committee’s financial donations to a group supporting Elevate.

“We now have evidence that our opponents are supported by the same people who supported the past reform board members,” the statement reads.

“We also have solid evidence that reform policies have not improved the education of our students and have instead resulted in declining academic achievement, increased teacher turnover and a loss of trust with the Board of Education.”

The county Democratic Party could not be reached for comment on whether it would be endorsing any candidates.

Teaching students how to cope socially, emotionally Such skills are needed to succeed in rapidly changing world, area educators say

WHY IS SEL IMPORTANT?

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Eighth-grader Morgan Fritzler is working to improve her self-awareness.

“Sometimes, I have anxiety and perfectionist issues and I expect myself to get everything on the first try,” Fritzler, 12, said. “It makes me feel frustrated.”

But through a program at her school that focuses on social and emotional learning, she is learning how to calm herself down when she gets upset, how to be persistent and not give up, and a variety of other coping mechanisms that teach resilience and, ultimately, success in everyday decision-making.

“It was helpful,” she said of the Brain Wise program taught at Arvada’s Manning Middle School in Jefferson County.

Now, when she’s struggling, she takes a break rather than continue in frustration, specifically when it comes to math.

Brain Wise is one of a multitude of programs beginning to proliferate throughout Denver metro school districts that teach social and emotional learning — or SEL — skills. Sometimes known as behavioral or noncognitive skills, educators and mental health experts, along with a growing number of research studies, say they are essential to successfully navigating not only education, but also career and life.

The keys to success The national Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning describes SEL as the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.

“We want all students to be equipped with the tools and skills to navigate and thrive in our rapidly changing world,” said Priscilla Straughn, chief academic officer for Adams 12 Five Star District.

“Through social emotional learning, students develop an awareness of and the ability to manage their emotions, in order to set and achieve important personal and academic goals.”

Some of these, Straughn said, include the use of social awareness and interpersonal skills to establish and maintain positive relationships, and the ability to form, articulate and demonstrate a positive and productive decision-making process that supports students in achieving school and life success.

According to a 2011 meta-analysis published by the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning, those who participated in evidence-based SEL programs showed an 11 percentile-point gain in academic achievement compared to students who did not participate in SEL programs. They also showed improved classroom behavior, an increased ability to manage stress and depression, and better attitudes about themselves, others and school.

Molly McTaggart teaches her fifth-grade class at Cherrelyn Elementary in Englewood.

Teachers in Englewood Schools are trained in Mental Health First Aid as a way to develop students’ social and emotional learning skills.

COURTESY PHOTO Social emotional learning focuses on five core competencies: self management, self awareness, social awareness, responsible decision-making and relationship skills.

“Those are the things that we’re trying to teach kids so they’re successful at school, home and beyond,” said Erin Sullivan, social emotional learning coordinator for Jefferson County Schools.

“I always think of them as the skills you need to have to access education better.”

They are also the skills that employers want.

“A lot of cognitive things become automated, so you need the people skills,” said Rich Roberts, chief scientist at ACT, a nationwide mission-driven nonprofit organization that assesses K-12 education, which researched SEL. “SELs are becoming more valued in the workplace and therefore it’s something we should care about in the school system.”

Recently, ACT announced the launch of the ACT Tessera, a next-generation assessment system designed to measure SEL skills. The new system will provide assessments for middle and high school students (grades 6-12), as well as actionable lesson plans for teachers looking to integrate SEL into their classrooms.

“In education, we’ve been concentrating for a long time on cognitive assessment, but with the changing nature of the workforce, things like working well with others, being a good team player and being able to cope with stress — these are good things to learn,” Roberts said. “We live in a world of modern stresses so, to me, it’s not rocket science, it just makes sense.”

What districts are doing Denver metro area school districts are taking different approaches.

In Adams 12, each school determines which programs to offer based on what would be most effective in that specific school.

Some of those programs include Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports, Second Step, Journey to a Hate Free Millennium, Signs of Suicide, Random Acts of Kindness, Peace4Kids, Superflex and Zones of Regulation, to name a few. Although they may differ in content, they all share a goal of creating better people.

“We’ve found this approach positively impacts a students’ readiness to learn, classroom behavior and overall academ-

ic performance,” Straughn said.

In Douglas County, teachers try to reach students in all classrooms, not with a specific curriculum, but by creating a welcoming culture at each school.

“The key to it all is having connectedness to adults,” said Stephanie CrawfordGoetz, mental health coordinator for the Douglas County School District.

The district holds professional developments for teachers on how to create safe and healthy classrooms. Crawford-Goetz said this can look like counselors going into classrooms and partnering with parents or teachers modeling for students how to have good relationship skills and make good decisions.

“It’s not something that we do, it’s something that we are,” Crawford-Goetz said. “We want to empower our students to be as successful as can be, so it’s looking at the students as more than just academic achievement. It’s looking at the whole child.”

Douglas County also works more closely with identified at-risk students who are showing difficulty using SEL skills.

Crawford-Goetz said those students will often work on specific skills in groups.

Some receive individualized counseling.

Englewood Schools is also working to train its staff to understand signs of emotional distress through Mental Health First Aid, a national program that teaches skills to respond to signs of mental illness and substance use.

Englewood is also taking advantage of a variety of grants to increase its mental health, social and emotional supports.

One of those grants came from the Expelled and At-Risk Student Services program through the Colorado Department of Education. The district will use the four-year grant to implement restorative practices, an approach using various communicative techniques focused on affective statements or brief comments about how others were impacted by actions, and proactive community-building activities to reduce the number of student suspensions.

The district also received a grant through Kaiser Permanente to be part of the Los Angeles Education Partnership, a nonprofit that provides coaches that focus on dealing with trauma.

In addition, Englewood Schools partners with Arapahoe Douglas Mental Health Network for school-based therapists to work with students on site.

“We’ve really been working to increase

A recently released research report from ACT, a mission-driven nonprofit organization that assesses and creates solutions for K-12 education, college and career readiness, confirmed the importance of social and emotional learning skills. The 2017 Importance of Behavioral Skills and Navigation Factors for Education and Work reported that both education and workforce professionals believe these skills are critical for lifelong success.

The study examined survey responses from school teachers, college instructors and workforce supervisors across the nation regarding the importance of social and emotional learning skills.

Key findings included: • Behavioral skills are rated important in preparing students for college and workplace success by more than 80 percent of K-12 teachers, postsecondary instructors and workforce supervisors.

• Behavioral skills are interpersonal, self-regulatory and task-related behaviors such as acting honestly, getting along with others, keeping an open mind, maintaining composure, socializing with others and sustaining efforts.

• Navigation factors are viewed as important by nine in 10 K-12 teachers and by about two-thirds of postsecondary instructors and workforce supervisors. (Navigation factors are defined as personal characteristics, processes and knowledge that influence people as they journey along their education and career paths, including self-knowledge, environmental factors, integration and managing career and education actions.)

our focus in the last couple years,” said Callan Clark, executive director of student services for the Englewood district.

Jeffco schools also partners with local mental health provider Jefferson County Mental Health to provide social emotional learning specialists to schools in the district.

For the 2016-17 school year, Jeffco hired 30 SEL specialists who serve at every middle school in the district teaching curriculum. Those specialists were funded from the district’s general fund, something Sullivan, who coordinates SEL in Jeffco, said was well worth the $750,000 expense.

A 2015 study by researchers at Columbia University found that the measurable benefits of SEL exceed the costs, often by considerable amounts. The aggregate result of the analysis showed an average benefit-cost ratio of about 11-1 among the six evidence-based SEL interventions studied. This means that, on average, for every $1 invested in SEL programming, there is a return of $11.

This year, Jeffco was awarded a grant from the state’s School Health Professionals Grant Program, which uses recreational marijuana tax dollars to help hire additional school health professionals in districts across the state. With that money, Jeffco will hire six more SEL specialists who will be assigned to elementary schools in the Jefferson and Wheat Ridge articulation areas. The grant also includes hiring three full-time nurses in the Lakewood area. (These are the three communities in the Jeffco district that sell recreational marijuana.)

The goal, Sullivan said, is to focus on prevention, building relationships with kids and practicing SEL skills.

Continuum of Colorado Opens Innovative Home for Children with Developmental Disabilities Raising a child with a developmental disability and extreme behavioral support needs is nothing short of challenging. Some of these children exhibit aggressive and self-injurious behaviors that require heightened levels of care and highly-individualized treatments- care and treatments that may exceed both the abilities and expertise of their primary caregivers. In Colorado, Intermediate Care Facilities, which are better equipped to handle such behaviors, don’t accept children under the age of 17, and caregivers who seek help through foster care placement typically must relinquish custody of their children to get the help they need. Continuum of Colorado, alongside several partner organizations, knew there had to be a better solution.

Kingston House is an innovative residential facility, introducing a program that focuses on reducing problematic behaviors, increasing communication skills, and teaching greater independence for the children. The program also provides support and trainings to caregivers, a key element in the ultimate goal of transitioning the child back into the care of their loved ones.

Man found dead after standoff identified STAFF REPORT

Douglas County Coroner Jill Romann has identified the body of a man found dead after a standoff with a SWAT team near Parker on Oct. 15.

Chance Lee Whiteford was confirmed as the deceased. No information was released regarding the cause and manner of death, and his exact

BIKE FROM PAGE 4

Bryce Matthews, planning manager for the Town of Parker, said the town adopted a new bike lane plan in 2004 to accomplish many of the same goals Castle Rock is working toward.

Mainly, Parker sought to support bike lanes throughout town, he said, and use them to connect key areas.

Often, that meant getting people safely from the trail to the grocery store or to school without forcing cyclists and pedestrians to share the sidewalk.

“We have sidewalks, obviously,” he said, “but the questions was, is there a safe place where bikes can have some space within the road right-ofway where they’re not conflicting with pedestrians.”

In the north metro area, Northglenn began a bike lane pilot project

age was not released either, but the coroner said he was born in 1994.

Authorities were called to a home in the 6100 block of Westview Circle, south of Parker, about 9 p.m. Oct. 15, responding to a report of a couple fighting with their adult son, said Lauren LeKander, spokeswoman for the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office.

Deputies heard gunshots coming

from the house when they arrived, but the couple was able to leave the home.

Deputies called in a SWAT team, which was unable to communicate with the man, described as a white male in his early 20s.

The suspect fired more shots from inside the home, and neighbors received a reverse-911 notification to stay indoors.

in July, adding the city’s first bike lanes as it builds a new bicycle and pedestrian master plan.

The goal of the bike lane project was to give residents the experience of road biking, senior planner Ashley Kaade said. It tested both separate bike lanes along the community’s Grant Street, and “sharrow” lanes, which encourage drivers to share the road with cyclists. Community feedback will help Northglenn decide how to add bike lanes in the future as well.

The new bike and pedestrian plan comes in light of the town’s changing demographics, Kaade said.

“We do have a good percentage of older adults, like many communities in the Denver metro region,” Kaade said, “but we’re also seeing a lot of young families and turnover in the housing stock as well.”

Bike lanes are one way to improve mobility for every demographic, she said.

Golden’s Public Works Director Dan Hartman said officials found some people still aren’t comfortable riding on the street. Providing a bike lane separates cyclists from motorists and offers a degree of comfort to the biker, he said. Although, he cautioned users still need to be responsible on the road.

“They aren’t perfect,” Hartman said of bike lanes. “Drivers and riders still have to be aware of what’s going on around them.”

Hyde agreed, saying bike lanes can offer a false sense of security to cyclists, who “still have to be extremely safe and vigilant.”

But overall, he thinks more bike lanes are a good thing for public safety.

“I think they’re helping quite a bit.

What it does more than anything is it makes it more black and white to the motorists as to where the cyclist is going to be,” he said. “With bike lanes, it’s much more enjoyable.”

Smoke and fire were seen inside the home after 1 a.m., and firefighters with South Metro Fire Rescue were able to extinguish the flames with assistance from the SWAT team.

SWAT employed gas grenades a little after 2 a.m., and found the suspect dead inside the home at 3:20 a.m. No shots were fired by law enforcement, LeKander said.

SAFETY TIPS In Colorado, motorists and bicyclists have equal rights to use the road, and equal responsibility to follow traffic laws.

Tips for motor vehicles sharing the road with cyclists include: • Allowing no less than 3 feet between the vehicle and the bicycle.

• Waiting until it is safe to pass a cyclist, just like passing another slow-moving vehicle.

If a road is too narrow for cars and bikes to ride safely side-by-side, cyclists can legally ride in or near the center of the lane.

• Look to the right before turning to avoid cutting off a cyclist.

In addition to following traffic laws, cyclists are advised to follow the flow of traffic and ride single file whenever possible. Use hand signals to indicate making a left or right turn, slowing or stopping.

Parker seeks volunteers for special licensing authority STAFF REPORT

The Town of Parker is looking for volunteers who live within the city limits to help address issues regarding businesses who hold liquor, arcade or sexually oriented business licenses.

Andy Anderson, communications coordinator for the town, said volunteering for the authority is a great

TRAILS FROM PAGE 2

Some trail entrances do not have speed limit signs for cyclists, but a sign at Cottonwood Park lists the limit at 15 mph. Though the number is highlighted, the small font is sandwiched between other rules, like trash clean up and leashing animals.

At a different trail entrance, a sign details trail etiquette, but doesn’t mention the speed limit. The sign asks all users to travel on the right and pass on the left; bicyclists yield to pedestrians, runners and horses, and “Keep your bike under control and at safe speed.”

Walkers and bikers move at vastly different speeds, but even dedicated cyclists find their route difficult because of other riders.

“It’s difficult as other cyclists ride two wide, don’t give space and can be rude,” said Sarah Gelter, who bikes with her husband.

opportunity for people who want to get involved but don’t have much time.

Commitment to the authority is one night per month.

“Many of our residents are interested in helping out, but they don’t have a lot of free time to give,” Anderson said. “Others are interested in participating in local government, but they don’t know how to get involved.”

The Special Licensing Authority works on issues such as new liquor licenses, renewal of existing licenses and monitoring compliance with liquor regulations. The authority makes recommendations to the town council on related issues.

“Applicants must not have any vested interest in any establishment with a liquor, arcade or sexually ori-

ented business license within Parker,” Anderson said. “Applicants must not have an abhorrence to alcohol and will be required to undergo a confidential background check.”

Letters of interest must be received by 5 p.m., Friday, Nov. 17. Letters should be addressed to Parker Special Licensing Authority, Attn: Carol Baumgartner, 20120 E. Mainstreet, Parker, CO 80138.

However, she said most of their encounters are with friendly people who smile and say hi.

“My average speed is about 12, but can get over 15 if I’m downhill,” Gelter said. “We like to go from Cottonwood neighborhood around Cherry Creek Reservoir, then home. It’s a big loop of about 24 miles.”

Gelter feels that biking along area roads is out of the question.

“Cars are very aggressive, and not bike-friendly,’ she said. “My husband has been tagged and almost hit many times.”

Penington said the town has used the monthly mailer Talk of the Town publication to remind the cycling community about safe riding habits.

“Traditionally, more experienced riders may use bike lanes to supplement their other types of trail use, including off-street trails, Penington said. “It is certainly OK for cyclists to train on the trail if they’re doing this in a safe manner and obeying the rules, including maximum speed

requirements.”

There is currently no timeframe for this project, and the next steps require gaining design approval, permits and allocating finances.

“The trail was meant for biking, walking, and horse riding, so we should all respect our right to enjoy the path and be polite,” Pazdernik said.

Heaven knows that heaven snows — that’s how life in Colorado goes QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

A

newcomer to our state said, “Why don’t you write about the first snow of the year?”

I said, “You mean the one we had in early January?”

“No, the one we just had — in October.”

“That was the first snow of the season. Not the first snow of the year.”

I think the excitement of moving here from California must have gotten to her, and to her clarity. It happened to me, exactly

40 years ago.

I was fresh off the boat from Arizona, where it was 110 degrees in the shade on a cloudy day.

I was miserable in Arizona.

Hot heat and I are not compadres. I think it addled me some, because when I landed at Stapleton, I looked around and said, “Am I in heaven?”

It was some 30 degrees cooler here than it was the day I left Phoenix. The rental car I climbed into wasn’t a four-wheeled in-

ferno, like the cab I had taken to Sky Harbor Airport.

Maybe this isn’t heaven, but after spells in Arizona, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, it sure seemed like it then, and it still does.

Think about it. Other than a few blizzards in all of that time, Colorado has been on the outside of the natural disasters that have beset much of the rest of the country.

If you have been here a while, you know that we have snow in October. If you have lived here even longer, you know we have had a lot of snow in October.

Famously: On Oct. 15, 1984, over a foot of snow fell on Mile High Stadium during the Monday Night Football game between the Broncos and the Packers.

hikes of a quarter point each, every year. Therefore, even if we don’t hear about the Fed actually increasing interest rates, they are rising as a result of them reducing the amount of bonds they own on their balance sheet.

Certain types of bonds will be affected differently. U.S. Treasuries with longer maturities will be most likely to lose value. Corporate bonds could hold up better as these usually track the health of the underlying company. Mortgage-backed securities reward investors for taking on this risk and the liquidity may improve.

Diversification in your investments is paramount but should include a deeper dive than just stocks and bonds. It is also important to diversify within your stock and bond holdings.

If you are concerned about rising interest rates, you can hold shorterterm or corporate bonds. If you are

concerned the stock market may adjust, make sure your equities are diversified across country, size, value and growth potential.

Uncertainty remains at high levels around future interest rate hikes, the continued balance sheet asset reduction, and now concerns about who the next Fed chairperson will be.

As boring as bonds may be, there is never a dull moment at the Federal Reserve Board.

revealed that the American Federation of Teachers union dumped at least $300,000 into this election to try to thwart the success of the Elevate Douglas County School Board slate: Randy Mills, Ryan Abresch, Debora Scheffel and Grant Nelson. Wow! Why? As moms and dads, we should be very concerned that Randy, Ryan, Debora and Grant’s union-supported competitors seldom talk about the role of families and parents in our children’s education. As a community, we should be very concerned that a Washington, D.C.-based union wants to gain control of the DougCo School Board.

I’m voting for the slate that believes parents play a vital role in our kid’s education. I’m voting for Randy, Ryan, Debora and Grant.

Amy Byczkowski Parker It’s complicated; choose Elevate A recent trend in the DCSD school board election should be called to the attention of voters. Campaign fliers and car window paintings claim one slate of candidates as the “good guys.”

Unfortunately, this black and white thinking is exactly the thinking that has driven a wedge in our community on questions of education.

Education is, in reality, more more complex than “good v bad.” Children learn differently, families consider educational options differently and

October 27, 2017O many opinions abound. The Elevate slate of Mills, Abresch, Nelson and Scheffel has branded themselves as they have in an effort to move beyond childish labels. Questions of education are too important for such thinking.

Support the Elevate slate to move forward.

Roger Bianco Castle Pines What about vouchers?

Each school board candidate should be asked if he or she supports continuing efforts to promote unconstitutional voucher programs for our district, which would drain funds from the traditional methods of providing a good education for all, regardless of parental income levels.

Dr. Herman Anderson Castle Rock They’re kids, not commodities Douglas County was a destination school district, accredited with distinction. Now, we have 11 schools on improvement plans, falling test scores and record teacher turnover.

Something precious, a source of community pride, is disappearing.

Reformers are building a system that ruthlessly drains the energy and economic resources from our public schools, dividing our community’s parents, educators and students. The degradation of our public schools will drive families to costlier private options, a scheme to enrich a few at great cost to so many of us. It’s a crime against logic and our children.

Our classrooms are not markets of

financial gain. Our children are not commodities.

Our hope lies in a critical public seeing through propaganda. Neighborhood schools are a cornerstone of American life, where communities unite, where students discover their talents, where citizens are made.

Vote for the shared future of a proud community. Vote Graziano, Holtzmann, Leung and Schor.

Lena Brown Unincorporated Douglas County The only real choice Henry Ford’s famous quote, “Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants, so long as it is black” seems to be mindset of the Community Dream Team slate for DougCo school board. They say they are for school choice, however they want to dictate which choices are available to parents, kids and families.

Seems a bit disingenuous to me.

That is why I am voting for the ELEVATE DougCo School Board slate of Randy Mills, Ryan Abresch, Debora Scheffel and Grant Nelson. They realize each child is unique and learns differently. Randy, Ryan, Debora and Grant understand that parents and families know their children best and make the best decisions for their kid’s education.

ELEVATE’S opponents are adamantly opposed to a scholarship program that would empower families to use a portion of per-pupil funding for nonpublic schools.

Limiting choices is no choice at all.

All four of those candidates supported

Elevate will end chaos Our amazing school district has long been recognized for empowering parents through school choice.

Recently, the Washington, D.C.-based AFT teacher’s union, who does not share this vision of parent empowerment and choice in education, injected hundreds of thousands of dollars into our county, soliciting votes for union friendly candidates.

I am tired of the lies and chaos resulting from such outside influence by groups that do not have our district’s best interest at heart. I will be voting for the Elevate slate — Nelson, Abresch, Mills and Scheffel — because I know that they absolutely support parent empowerment and school choice. They will eliminate the chaos and restore a focus on the students in this district by offering support to our wonderful educators and expanding educational options important in today’s world, including vocational training. Vote Elevate!

Employees at Arvada’s Odyssey Beerwerks work on canning beer on an autumn morning. The brewery won its first Great American Beer Festival medal at this year’s event, held Oct. 5-7.

CLARKE READER

Local breweries have solid showing at beer fest Those lucky enough to attend got to sample the winners of this year’s medals

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Every year, the Great American Beer Festival brings hundreds of breweries from all over the country to the Mile High City to duke it out over who creates the best ales, IPAs, lagers, German beers and more.

And while the real winners are those who were lucky enough to score a ticket, being awarded a medal in one of the festival’s 96 categories is quite the feather in the cap of any brewery. The 2017 event ran from Oct. 5-7 at the Colorado Convention Center.

“When our name was announced, my wife screamed, and I looked over at our brewers like, ‘Did that just happen?’” said Chris Hill, who runs Arvada’s Odyssey Beerwerks with Josh Van Riper and Deana, his wife.

The brewery received a silver medal for its Woods Monk beer in the Wood- and Barrel-Aged Strong Beer category.

“It’s so humbling to win a medal, especially when you consider there are like 800 breweries and 3,900 entries.”

Metro area breweries fared well in this year’s competition. Lone Tree Brewing Co. scored a gold medal, while breweries from Arvada, Castle Rock, Golden, Lakewood, Littleton and Parker also earned medals.

“This years festival was nothing less than magical,” said Josh West, head brewer at Lone Tree. “To be the only brewery in Colorado to win two medals this years is a huge accomplishment not to mention becoming the first craft brewery to ever win a gold in the American Lager category.”

However, it’s not all about the competition for attendees — the festival is also an opportunity to meet customers and fans, as well as fellow brewers.

“Much of GABF is about what goes on around the convention. We were busy as ever giving tours at our brewery and hosting ‘meet the brewer’ tasting events downtown,” said Todd Usry, president and brewmaster at Breckenridge Brewery, headquartered in Littleton.

“This year we hosted concerts at our brewery Saturday and Sunday.

A dino-mite autumn for fossil fanatics

don’t remember when I fell in love with dinosaurs, but by the time “Jurassic Park” came out in 1993, I was 8 years old and already completely head over heels.

I wanted to be a paleontologist, go to places like Montana, and dig up the fossils of my COMING favorite animals.

Even now, nearly 25 ATTRACTIONS years later, I still get a thrill from reading about the latest discoveries, or really any movie with a dinosaur in it.

I don’t think you really grow out of being awed by these ancient animals.

Clarke Reader That that makes the Front Range a perfect place to live. Between the constant discoveries at Dinosaur Ridge, and incredible finds like the Thornton triceratops, it’s a great time to be a dinosaur fan.

And there are options all over town to indulge fossil fanatics like me.

At the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd., visitors can check out the new Ultimate Dinosaurs exhibit, which is on display through Jan. 15.

“In contrast to our permanent exhibit, Prehistoric Journey, this exhibit focuses on the world’s Southern Hemisphere,” explained Dr. Joe Sertich, Curator of Dinosaurs at the museum.

“Because of continental drift, these animals evolved in ways that might look bizarre to us because of the species we’re familiar with.”

The exhibit focuses on dinosaurs from Africa, Madagascar and South America, and includes 17 fully articulated skeletons and dozens of fossils and casts, video projections and lifesize murals, stations with projection microscopes, touchable specimens, puzzles, and games and Fossil Prep Lab activities to try out fossil preparation techniques on fossil casts and let children try firsthand the kind of activities that scientists like Sertich do in the field.

Sertich actually worked in Madagascar, making some of the finds that are on display as part of the exhibit, which makes Ultimate Dinosaurs particularly personal.

“It’s exciting, because there are still discoveries out there being made,” he said. “And there’s a reminder that through birds, we’re still living with dinosaurs.”

There are also five days left to see the Denver Zoo’s Dinos event, which features scale madoels of 21 species spread throughout the zoo.

7October 27, 2017 Cassie Franklin stands before a display of finished steel artwork in the Cassteen Ironworks store in the shopping plaza at the intersection of Mainstreet and Parker Road. The store deals in custom artwork and furnishings

A pile of discarded and extra pieces of steel reveals a tenet at the core of the Franklins’ business. Cassie Franklin calls the discarded pieces “giblets.”

Family business forged by fire

Two generations work steel in Watkins for Parker shop

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In 2008, when Chris Franklin told his wife, Vivian, he wanted to buy a plasma steel cutter and go into business making custom metal artwork, she didn’t approve.

He bought the enormous, costly device anyway, and showed her his work.

“He had cut a circle, a square and a line,” she says with a smirk. “So I learned how to use it, and it actually was a lot of fun.”

One sleepless night she decided to tinker with the device and cut a clock face with a flatbed engine design, and she was hooked.

“I’m crafty, I like crocheting and doing other crafts and playing piano.

I didn’t think I’d like working with metal,” Vivian says. But “I get to be creative and it’s exciting to see the finished product.”

The Franklins, their daughter Cassie, and Cassie’s boyfriend, Doug Hancock, all live and work together at their home and metal shop in Watkins,

just south of Denver International Airport, making custom pieces of steel art to sell at their store, Cassteen Ironworks, at 10941 S. Parker Road.

Chris spends this Sunday making deliveries while Vivian cuts outlines of elk, birds and trees into a six-byfour-foot sheet of metal, and Hancock grinds, torches and polishes the pieces she’s prepared for him. Cassie goes between the two to make sure everyone’s on the same page, while her sons, Luke, 10 and Giovanni, 7, play outside.

Finding time to design and finish orders is a challenge. Vivian and Hancock both work other jobs full time during the week while Cassie and Chris man the store Monday through Saturday.

But they love what they do, even if it took some convincing to get Vivian on board at first.

“She didn’t want to do it, but she did it anyway because she loves me,” Chris says. “Now she does it because she loves it.”

For more information on Cassteen Ironworks, visit their webpage at metalartcolorado.com.

Vivian Franklin, left, pulls a cutout from a sheet of metal being cut as her daughter Cassie and Cassie’s boyfriend Doug Hancock look over specifications for the pieces he’s finishing. The family works together every Sunday in their shop in Watkins, making custom art pieces, window well covers and other furnishings.

Students ‘bring it back full circle,’ return as educators Legend High School’s teaching staff includes four alumni of school

AT LEFT: Four Legend

teachers— and Legend graduates— work every day in the high school they attended. From left, Brooke West, Jesse Van Divier, Steele Krause and Mitchell Main.

BY CASEY VAN DIVIER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Steele Krause, 23, a first-year teacher at Legend High School, didn’t have to worry about learning his way around the 1,976-student building. After all, he graduated from the Parker school in 2012.

Instead, his biggest challenge has been learning his former teachers’ first names.

“It’s always been Mr. and Mrs. Soand-So,” he said with a smile.

Krause, along with three other Legend graduates — Mitchell Main, Jesse Van Divier and Brooke West — have returned to their alma mater, as teachers. West started in August 2016; the other three at the beginning of this school year.

“I think it speaks volumes for the climate we have, that we have students who actually want to come back and work in the building,” Principal Jason Jacob said.

Jacob, who was an assistant principal and student advisor when the former students attended Legend, built strong relationships with each of them during their high school years.

Now the school’s principal, he met with each teacher to approve the hiring decision after other faculty members interviewed them. A strong factor in his decision was the way the four teachers could contribute to the school’s climate.

“They were some of the students who helped create the climate and culture,” he said. “To bring it back full circle, so that now they’re the ones guiding current students to make Legend a better place, is pretty unique.”

All four teachers cited Legend’s friendly atmosphere as a deciding factor for them.

“Because this school gave so much to me, I wanted to give back,” said West, 22, who teaches English. “I saw how the teachers and administrators helped one another here, and that made me want to come back.”

High School Principal Jason Jacob knew each of the Legend graduates back when they attended the high school.

Krause is teaching career and technical education. “Anybody who comes to Legend feels home,” he said. “The students feel the positivity, and it’s the people here that make it that way.”

The teachers’ status as former Legend students creates unique experiences from day to day, they said.

“Every now and then one of my old teachers will come into the classroom,” said Van Divier, 22, a social studies teacher. “It’s cool to see that they’re still working hard and doing the same things.”

The Legend graduates also agree that their past experiences at the

school make it easier to connect with students.

“When I tell the kids I’m a former Legend student, some of them think that’s really cool,” said Main, 22, who is teaching English. “We can relate on that level. It shows them I’m a human, too.”

But returning to Legend also brings its own set of challenges.

“Michael Cordova interviewed me, and he was my math teacher,” Main said, “so I had to give him a disclaimer like: ‘I’m not the same 15-year-old I was in your class.’ ” “You definitely don’t have the totally

PUBLIC AUCTION On Behalf Of The City & County of Denver

blank slate that a new teacher who’s not from Legend would have,” Van Divier said. “But if you’re focused and passionate about your work, I think that starts to show to people pretty quickly.”

That focus and passion, the teachers said, is pushing them toward a common goal.

“I want my students to be able to walk these halls, like I do, and think ‘Good things happened in this room and this room and this room,’ ” West said. “And I’m hoping for my class to be one of those rooms that a kid can look back on and smile about.”

Outside of being an extra that gets eaten in one of the Jurassic Park movies, the closest you can get to interacting with the prehistoric animals is Erth’s Dinosaur Zoo Live. The show, hosted at 2 and 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 11 at the University of Denver’s Newman Center, 2344 E. Iliff Ave., brings ultra-realistic dinosaur puppets to the stage, where audiences can interact with them.

“We have different puppets we use to reflect the dinosaurs that are native to the places we’re performing,” explained Miles Portek, the host of the show. “It’s a rare chance to get up close, and face to face with dinosaurs.”

The show takes the same approach as Pixar animated films, Portek said, and offers something for all ages. He said the key is not to be condescending to children in the audience.

“It really ignites the imagination for everyone, Portek said. “And who wouldn’t love meeting a dinosaur?’

A regional premiere, the end of Halloween, and Wine Fest Stepping away from the Cretaceous era into the modern age, Denver’s Equinox Theatre Company is hosting the regional premiere of “Disaster!” at The Bug Theatre, 3654 Navajo St. The show

The Sunday show was a hurricane relief concert to provide support for victims in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Saturday’s show featured hometown favorite Big Head Tod and the Monsters.”

The brews that are entered in the competition are often group choices, as both Hill and Josh Robbins, president and brewmaster at New Terrain, said their staffs discussed what should be entered in the competition.

“Most entries are judged on how it fits the style guidelines for specific types of beers,” Robbins explained. His brewery’s Suntrip took silver in the Belgian-Style Witbier category. “We often don’t follow guidelines, but we entered Suntrip because we thought it would fit.”

Beers are judged by a panel of industry professionals from all over the world, and evaluated without knowing the brand name. Eventually, all the entries are whittled down to three that best exhibit their category.

“Beating all the macro breweries in the American Lager category is nothing less than a monumental accomplishment,” West said. “It proves that us craft beer guys can do it just as good if not better than them and that we are relevant, consistent and here to stay.”

The bronze Breckenridge received for its Mountain Series: Maibock this year was the brewery’s fifth medal, and both Odyssey and New Terrain received their first-ever medals.

“Suntrip is one of our most popular beers that’s not an IPA,” Robbins said.

“The win helps us to expand on our starts on Nov. 10 and runs through Dec. 2 on Friday and Saturday nights.

The musical features some classic 1970s songs, including “Knock on Wood,” “Hooked on a Feeling,” “Sky High,” “I Am Woman” and “Hot Stuff.”

The show takes place in 1979 on a floating casino and discotheque, and its cast includes a nightclub singer and her twins, a disaster expert, reporter, an older couple, a nun with a gambling addiction and more.

This is the last weekend before Halloween, and there’s still time to get in something creepy in thanks to the Parker Symphony Orchestra. On Oct. 27, the Parker Symphony Orchestra is hosting an evening of music made for the night in its “Sounds of the Deep,” featuring compositions by Strauss, Dvorak, Debussy, and selection of tunes from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Phantom of the Opera.”

reputation for having great beer and atmosphere.”

It’s not unusual to get a run on winning beers after the results are announced, which means those interested in sampling all the winners should hurry.

“Maibocks are traditionally brewed in the late spring and early summer, but we brewed a special small batch just for GABF,” Usry said. “We have it on tap now at our Farm House restaurant, and it’ll be bottled again for our Rocky Mountain Sampler Pack in the spring.”

The festival is as much fun for the brewers as it is for visitors, and everyone comes away inspired for the next year.

“Just like everyone else, we come back to our booths really excited,” Hill said. “The goal is to tell someone, ‘You have to try this beer I just had.’”

Cross country could be path to lead country

T

Junior Payton Lincavage gets a hug during the post-game celebrations after Legend defeated Fossil Ridge, 9-3, to win the Class 5A state softball championship. It was the school’s first state championship in any sport.

Softball title now the stuff of Legend

Titans capture school’s first state championship

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Junior shortstop Payton Lincavage was never skeptical about Legend’s chances of winning the state softball championship.

“We had been saying it all season: This is the year of the Titans,” she said. “I had no doubts.”

Legend captured the school’s first state title in any sport with an 9-3 victory over Fossil Ridge in the Class 5A title game on Oct. 21 at Aurora Sports Park.

Still, it was a surprise to many especially after the Titans started the season with a 2-5 record and then lost to Fort Collins in the first regional qualifying tournament.

Legend, which tied for first place in the Continental League, did gain the second qualifying spot from Region 2, went into the state tournament as the No. 10 seed and won four games to bring the state championship to Parker.

“In the beginning of the year, there were a lot of people doubting us,” said junior pitcher Zoey LeCompte, who was the winning pitcher in all four state tournament games. “No one thought we would be this good.”

SEE TITLE, P28

Legend first baseman Lauren Griggs catches a low throw to retire Legacy’s Megan Foley during the Titans’ 10-6 semifinal win on Oct. 21. Legend beat Fossil Ridge 9-3 in the title game to win the school’s first state championship in any sport. Legend, seeded 10th in the tournament, tied for first place in the Continental League, won the state crown and finished the season with an 18-8 record after losing five of its first seven games.

iya Chamberlin, a junior captain on the Wheat Ridge girls cross country team, has a suggestion for politicians to help relieve the current turmoil in Washington, D.C. “I think what would calm all the politicians is if OVERTIME they would just go for a 30-minute run every day,” explained Chamberlin. “They would just relax, use up all their energy and then they would be able to think clearly.”

It seems cross country running provides Jim Benton a means to socialize and communicate. Going on long runs during practice can be lonely if a runner is all alone, so running with teammates is a way to talk and create friendships.

“As far a running with your teammates in practice, it is such a bonding experience,” added Chamberlin. “I’ve had some of the best conversations on runs with people. It seems to just open people up. It’s so special.

“Cross country is one of the most social sports, unlike soccer or football, which are politically involved and you are sort of bad-mouthing the other team. You can’t have anything but respect for somebody to run a 5K and beat you. You know how hard that is. It’s black and white. There are no coaches deciding who is the better player. The finish line is what talks.”

Rock Canyon senior Chris Theodore and sophomore Easton Allred were the first runners to cross the finish line during the Continental League championships held Oct. 11, with Allred edging Theodore towards the end.

At the 5A Region 5 state qualifying championships on Oct. 19, Theodore and Allred were again first and second, but this time Theodore won by .25 of a second over his teammate.

“We really push each other,” said Theodore. “I’m happy if my teammate can beat me if it helps our team.

There’s a really nice environment going on. Cross country is really social, especially on a team basis.

“When you run in practice you are running with people working just as hard and working for the same goal.

When you’re out there by yourself it is kind of no fun. You can’t express yourself. Going on those long runs you can talk about whatever you want.”

Teammates become like members of the family, and often top competitors are best friends.

7October 27, 2017 Chaparral • The football team has a Mount Evans league showdown against Pomona on Oct. 27. The teams are tied for first with 3-0 records and the Panthers have won the past two games between the teams by a combined score of 60-16.

The Wolverines’ defense, led by Jacob Stanton and Isaac Wilson, face the challenge of containing the potent Pomona offense.

Athletes strive to get up to speed Explosiveness cited as key attribute for athletes across multiple sports

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Consistent running speed can be used as a weapon to score goals in soccer. Here, Legend’s Josh Harnden, right, and Mountain Vista’s Nate Robinson race after the ball in a Continental League game earlier this season. JIM BENTON

Speed never takes a day off, goes the adage.

“Speed is any sport is very, very important because it’s hard to teach speed,” Cherry Creek soccer coach Chelo Curi said.

The ability to move fast is important in almost all athletic endeavors — and it’s not always just foot speed.

In fall high school sports, explosiveness and quickness are at least as important.

“Speed is important but not the most critical thing,” Valor Christian football coach Rod Sherman said. “I always say explosiveness is the most critical (attribute) for an athlete. At the end of the day, it’s great to have some kids that run 4.5 (seconds) in the 40-yard dash, but you don’t have that many opportunities for a 4.5 40 to come out in the game of football. It’s much more important to be explosive, make a play in a short space.”

Scott Dowis, volleyball coach at Castle View, agrees with Sherman.

“Speed and quickness are impor1 10/13/2017 1:02:48 PM tant, but LTAC_CCM_10.13.17.pdf the most important physical

skill is explosiveness,” Dowis said.

“The volleyball court is pretty small when there are six players on it in the indoor game. Most of the movement either to the ball defensively and blocking or attacking is quick explosive movements.”

Arapahoe golf coach Harry Buckner said hand speed makes a big difference on the links.

“Many golfers can’t run fast but hand speed and club speed can be developed,” he said. “Distance in golf is related to hand speed.”

In softball, Alameda set a single season record in 2017 with 180 stolen bases, and coach Tom Dillingham echoed the motto about speed being a constant factor.

“Speed is important on both offense and defense,” he said. “Speed, explosiveness and timing is the key to stealing bases.”

Foot speed, quickness and explosiveness can be enhanced — which goes against another age-old adage that speed can’t be improved, that one is born with it.

Allison Skufca, who works for Landow Performance in Centennial, aids athletes of all ages to advance their speed.

“That’s what we do,” she said. “We focus more on teaching mechanics, the mechanics of different running stages. You have acceleration and topSEE SPEED, P27

Chamberlin claims most of the fun athletes have is after a race, and many runners hope to be feeling joyous following the state cross country championships, which will be held Oct. 28 at the Penrose Events Center in Colorado Springs.

end speed. Then, all of our weight room stuff like our lifting gets them stronger and more explosive, which helps with that.

“It really takes two months for an athlete to really start to notice the difference. They will notice the little stuff as they adapt to the training, but a good eight to 12 weeks is when they will really start to notice.”

High school coaches, too, have their own ways of enriching speed.

“Quick, short running spurts will improve it because it adds to the burst and the first three steps,” Curi said.

For many athletes, speed and explosiveness training are done both

and a creek crossing before the finish line.

“You just go on adrenaline and the competition really fuels you and all the other good girls that are running around you,” said Mountain Vista Junior Caroline Eck. “There was a really big hill the year before my freshman year but there is still a decent sized hill, but not really as big as the one before.

There is a water crossing at the very end. At that point, though, you are so very close to the finish that you have all the possible motivation that you could.

“There is definitely a different vibe going into the state meet,” she added. at and outside of school.

“We are lucky at Castle View to have a great strength (program) staffed by Patrick McHenry,” Dowis said. “He and his staff work our players three days a week during the summer to get them stronger and more explosive. We also have players who work with other SAQ (strength, agility, quickness) coaches throughout the year through their clubs or independently.”

To Sherman, the most important period for improving explosiveness is the off-season.

“Once you can get into season, you can improve a little bit but it’s what you do out of season,” Sherman said. “Using the weight room to build the base of explosiveness and you can use the field to train and to funnel that into on field explosiveness.”

“You know all the people around you are just going to make you better. You can visualize crossing the finish line and that really helps.

“You have to mentally prepare for every race. One thing we do on our team is try to have fun with each other and focus on why we are doing it and not necessarily all the pressure and outside factors that there are and mentally just getting into the zone.

You just want to really enjoy things with your teammates.”

Coach Kristen Shirk likes to use the term “uglies” for those wins that sometimes aren’t pretty.

“The state championship is awesome,” Shirk said. “We had some uglies but this weekend we were good.

The Titans took a 10-1 lead into the seventh inning and notched a 10-6 win over the Lightning to move into the title game and again grabbed an early seven-run lead over the fourthseeded Sabercats, who upset top-seeded Eaglecrest, 20-16, in the semis.

LeCompte and freshman reliever Bella Mumford held Fossil Ridge to six hits in the title game and the Titans’ bats stayed warm on a chilly, windy afternoon.

Senior Alysaa Nunn delivered a two-run triple in a six-run fifth inning for the Titans.

In four state tournament games, senior third baseman Hailey Swanson went 7-for-11 with nine runs batted in and two home runs. Lincavage also smacked two homers and was 8-for-15

‘This is Colorado’ painting creator has long history Pat Clarke has been active both locally and in locations around globe

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Pat Clarke says she and her husband Mark looked for some time to find the right Highlands Ranch home with a bright, airy walk-out basement that is her studio today. The couple had been living in Park Hill, but moved south to help with grandchildren when needed.

Here, she sets up her easel when home — and pulls out a large round white palette, filled with dabs of bright color.

A bulletin board in a back corner is filled with award ribbons accumulated through a career as a watercolorist.

Clarke grew up in Lawrence, Kansas, where her engineer father was a professor. She lived at home, attended KU and was able to travel abroad in the summers — in Spain the summer following her freshman year — the first of many trips there. (She earned a bachelor’s debree in social work.)

The spacious studio is filled with artists’ supplies large and small and many en plein air paintings that tell stories about numerous locations in Spain and elsewhere. And upstairs, the Clarkes’ home resembles a gallery — with Pat’s paintings and some by other artists.

Pat Clarke, watercolorist/plein air painter, speaks in her Highlands Ranch home studio.

She displays the special painters’ backpack her daughter made for her to carry supplies while working outdoors. SONYA ELLINGBOE. The Clarkes met in Costa Rica on their respective junior year abroad programs—both teaching English as a second language. They married and looked for opportunities to teach abroad, joined by a baby daughter.

“We were living in Boulder and Mark had graduated, but we couldn’t do Peace Corps with a child.”

The best opportunity was in Egypt,

and they went there in 1969 — still both teaching English as a second language. Baby Julia joined the family while they lived in Egypt. Blond baby Julia, in a back pack carrier, was really popular with Egyptians, Clarke recalls. (The family went back for a pleasant visit with friends when the girls were teens.)

Next stop was Saudi Arabia. “It was

more liberal in the ‘70s,” she said. (It depends on the king). Son Benjamin, now also an artist, was born there.

Both parents taught English (separately to men and women) at Arabian Oil Co. (Aramco).

For a year later on, 2009-2010, they lived in picturesque Sitges, on the coast of Catalonia, while Mark, a Fulbright Scholar, commuted by train to teach and research in Barcelona on a cooperative project regarding immigrant youths. (Mark, fluent in Arabic and Spanish, taught people how to teach languages.) Pat took social work classes in Spanish. It was a perfect place to paint. Mark now teaches at CU-Denver.

Pat Clarke, a member of Heritage Fine Arts Guild and of the Colorado Watercolor Society, teaches through Park Hill’s Art Garage, a community organization housed in an old service station. She has taught plein air painting and is currently involved with teaching teens to paint and exhibit their works. On Oct. 14-15, she exhibited paintings at her son’s home, as part of the large annual Park Hill Open Studio Tour. She recently taught a daylong workshop for the Heritage Fine Arts Guild, as well.

Look for her work in the local area.

She currently has a painting in Heritage Fine Arts Guild’s “This is Colorado” exhibit in the Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College.

CALM AFTER THE STORM

Leung and Krista Holtzmann simply do not want our public tax money going to private schools. Not supporting the voucher system does not mean you are against school choice.

In addition, those supported by EDC called teacher unions “outside influences.” Quite the contrary, the Douglas County Federation of Teachers was a model of cooperation with the school board. Only when they objected to extreme policies, did the board dissolve their contract. Teacher associations are not the enemy. It is the teacher associations who negotiated for livable wages, benefits and job security for our teachers.

Put focus on kids, teachers I am a Castle Rock dad with two kids at CVHS. Douglas County voters, even without kids, should fully participate in the upcoming school board elections.

There’s too much at stake not to care – what could be more important to our community or our future than our public education program. For any homeowner, our district’s performance has a pronounced impact on property values as well and this shouldn’t be lost on any of our residents.

Every homeowner should ask themselves if home values will be as competitive as they should be based on current trends.Before all the “reforms” to the district, we consistently ranked first or second compared with JeffCo, Cherry Creek and Littleton in all subjects grades 3-8 and now we’re ranked third or fourth almost across the board.

Bring the focus back to students and our educators. Vote for schools. Vote for Graziano, Holtzmann, Leung and Schor.

A prescription for success Does this Douglas County School Board Election matter, now, or in the long run? Has not the education pendulum nearly swung off its rocker?

What is the Rx for a traditionally conservative Douglas County?

“The Naked Communist” by Cleon Skousen, ex-FBI agent, published in 1958, documented 45 then-current communist goals.By 2017, most had been accomplished perniciously. Here is just the preview: Communist Goal #17: “Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.”

Best preventative Rx: ElectElevate Douglas County school board candidates, including: Randy Mills, Ryan Abresch, Debora Scheffel and Grant Nelson.

Enough of the school unions’ lockstep control. Enough of the out-of-state money and influence in this election.

Return our school board control to local, straight-thinking people who represent the independent voices so needed today.

Steven Newell Lone Tree

Tax hike? No thanks We want it, we think we need it, so give it to us! This is the carte blanche tax increase mantra of the Community Dream Team slate for the DougCo School Board election. Every member of this slate is on record that they’ll present each hard working taxpayer in Douglas County with a big request for a big tax increase. Ugh! As a hardworking taxpayer in Douglas County, I’m voting for the ELEVATE DougCo School Board slate of RANDY Mills, RYAN Abresch, DEBORA Scheffel & GRANT Nelson. I’m assured that they will take a thorough & deliberative approach to our district’s finances, provide transparency of income & expenditures and work to gain our community’s trust regarding DougCo’s $626 million budget. I know they’ll improve efficiencies, tighten belts and look under the sofa cushions before they ask me if I want to increase my taxes.

Vote Randy, Ryan, Debora and Grant.

Mary Parker Highlands Ranch

We need fresh ideas I keep seeing letters supporting one slate of candidates claiming that we need “fresh faces” on the school board.

Don’t forget that no incumbents are running. All eight candidates are fresh faces. But we need more than fresh faces. We need fresh ideas, fresh perspectives and a fresh focus on kids.

The past eight years haven’t been good for our schools or our community, and the last thing we need is “fresh faces” who support the same failing policies.

We need the fresh ideas and fresh focus that Anthony Graziano, Krista Holtzmann, Kevin Leung and Chris Schor will bring.

Amy Fain Highlands Ranch

Save our schools If the Elevate slate is elected, it will be the nail in the coffin for Douglas County School District. There will be no funding to repair our aging schools and no way to retain teachers. Many informed parents and community members believe that continuing to allow new schools to open in areas that already have more seats than kids will cause existing schools to close. Choices will diminish. We can’t let that happen. Vote Graziano, Holtzmann, Leung and Schor to save our schools.

Amy McDowell Highlands Ranch It’s an easy choice I just wanted to thankdouglaskids. comfor doing the bidding for teachers unions. They are making it very easy on who not to vote for. I for one believe in educational choice, which the unions are staunchly against, even if it means less quality education for our children. They want their monopoly and they will do anything to get it and hold it. The car painting gives me a nice friendly reminder of who not to vote for. I am tired of the teachers unions hijacking school boards by flat out lying to push their agendas. Jefferson county is a prime example.

LETTERS FROM PAGE 30

Best choice for community Recent outrage at money being donated to an Independent Expenditure Committee (IEC) is hypocritical.

Facts being left out of this fabricated narrative: 1. Money from outside interests did not go directly to any candidate.

2. An IEC supports the reform slate.

The same big money donors are still

donating to reformers.Plus the ever present Americans for Prosperity.

3. Outside money is now an issue for reform supporters, but outside money has supported reform since 2009.

Despite this fake outrage, realities remain the same locally. Declining performance from reform policies implemented, lack of funding to pay our teachers and aging infrastructure impacting safety in our schools.

One slate has a plan to address these issues. They’re not concerned about the DeVos agenda, but our children.

WANTED: 5 HOMES

TO APPLY MT. STATES COMPOSITE SIDING Be a part of our 2017-18 Show Homes Campaign and Save!

5 homeowners in this general area will be given the opportunity to have

MT. STATES COMPOSITE SIDING

Applied to their home with decorative trim at a very low cost. This amazing new product has captured the interest of homeowners throughout your region who are fed up with constant painting and maintenance costs. Backed with fade and lifetime material warranty, and providing full insulation, summer and winter, this product can be installed on most types of home.

It comes in a choice of colors and is now being offered to the local market.

Your home can be a showplace in your vicinity. We will make it worth your while if we can use your home.

Please vote for Anthony Graziano, Krista Holtzmann, Kevin Leung and Chris Schor. Our commUNITY will be better for it!

Stephanie Van Zante Parker Don’t let name fool you Don’t be fooled! In this school board election, the reform slate is not using the word reform. Why? Reform is destructive and the slate hopes you don’t know “elevate” means “reform.”

FACT: Graziano, Holtzmann, Leung and Schor support charters and neighborhood schools equally with a promise to fund charters with 100 percent pass-through revenue and an equal share of MLO dollars.

FACT: The reform/Elevate candidates support vouchers. Vouchers would pull dollars from every school in the District. Not just neighborhood schools; charters would be gutted too.

Graziano, Holtzmann, Leung and Schor promise to put kids first: they will prioritize funding in the classroom, return to research-based educational practices, restore trust between the board and our community, and support the funding of longoverdue capital projects that have put our children’s education at risk.

Don’t be fooled. Vote Graziano, Holtzmann, Leung and Schor!

Jeanne Work Swaim Highlands Ranch Choose kids over a crusade I taught in the Douglas County Schools for 25 years before retiring last year. During that time, I watched as a school district once acclaimed as the best in state suffered through a period of turmoil and decline. Students, parents, teachers and administrators alike chafed under a reform program that was imposed by an agenda-driven school board. Teachers lost the freedom to control their own lessons; principals lost the freedom to lead and evaluate their staff as they saw fit. Parents were ignored. And students suffered as some of the best teachers and administrators in the state left in droves.

It’s time to place kids and community over ideologically driven crusades. It’s time to choose a school board that is once again dedicated to providing a high-quality public education to all the students of this county. It’s time to vote for Anthony Graziano, Krista Holtzmann, Kevin Leung and Chris Schor.
