ACLU lauds police rollout of body cams Parker PD works with ACLU, DA’s office on policy
By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com The Parker Police’s introduction of body-worn cameras and policies guiding their use has earned the department praise from an unlikely source. Parker Police sought advice on the departmentwide implementation of body cams from the American Civil Liberties Union, which later issued an article that calls the policy one of the best in the nation. It was in 2013, well before the officer-involved shooting of Michael Brown and other incidents that have made national headlines, that Parker Police Chief David King began contemplating
body-worn cameras for the 67 commissioned officers under his watch. Lt. Chris Peters, who was charged with creating the bodycam policy, said the consideration of constitutional rights and privacy was an element that was missing from other agencies’ guiding documents. The idea of reaching out to the ACLU, which occasionally calls out law enforcement agencies for perceived heavy-handed tactics, “raises some eyebrows,” Peters said, but it was viewed as a necessary proactive step. “They’re just trying to make sure that the constitutional rights are upheld, and that’s all we want to do as well,” Peters said. “The whole purpose of a police department is to uphold the Constitution and the laws, so it just makes sense that we get a ACLU continues on Page 9

Team prepares to save lives High voter SCHOOL BOARD RACE
All-volunteer squad trains twice a month
turnout expected
By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com When members of the Douglas County Search and Rescue team recently deployed to Castlewood Canyon State Park one morning, they found people who looked as if they’d been struck by lightning while hiking. But the scenario wasn’t real. Instead, it was a true-to-life depiction — theatrical makeup created realistic-looking injuries and victims acted out their injuries to add to the realism of the mass casualty incident training. The all-volunteer rescue team responded, assessed the situation, treated the wounded and organized relief efforts, prioritizing and managing the crisis amid the chaos. “The whole intent of this is to overwhelm the team,” said Travis Baker, a field team member who organized the training. “Usually, like last night, we have one subject and we had 10 to 12 rescuers that go out. But when there are situations like this scenario, with 18 subjects, the resources become very strained and we can’t operate in a mode that we’re used to operating in. It’s important for us to train in that mode once in a while because stuff like this does happen.” The simulation closely reflected the lightning strike that injured 16 people this summer at Mount Bierstadt. From 2005 to 2014, Colorado was the third highest in the nation for lightningcaused fatalities, with 17 people killed by lightning. “It’s not that we’re training for a lightning strike,” Baker said, “it’s that we’re training for any scenario that involves enough victims to cause us to be overwhelmed.” Douglas County Search and Rescue is a nonprofit, all-volunteer team dedicated to providing search, rescue and emergency response to the Douglas County citizens. It was formed in September 1998 and deployed on its first mission Feb. 10, 1999, when two dirt bike riders went missing in Rampart Range. Rescue continues on Page 9
Election officials project at least 100,000 will cast ballots By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com With three seats open on the Douglas County Board of Education, county officials are expecting the trend of high voter turnout for school district races to continue Nov. 3. There are 224,956 registered voters in Douglas County, and officials estimate more than 50 percent of voters will cast ballots. In District A, incumbent Craig Richardson will take on Wendy Vogel. Board President Kevin Larsen will face off with Anne-Marie Lemieux in District C. Incumbent Richard Robbins and David Ray will vie for the District F seat. The county has already received more than 20,000 mail-in ballots, according to Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Merlin Klotz. According to Klotz, the county had received 29,000 ballots at the same point prior to the 2013 election. But there are several factors that could have accounted for the difference, Klotz said. “If you look at the sample ballot for 2013 vs. the sample ballot for 2015 you will note that Amendment 66 (taxes) and Proposition AA were on the 2013 ballot and drew a lot more interest than the current statewide DCSD continues on Page 8

Cardiac screenings try to catch heart conditions in athletes
FACES AMONG US
HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
Staff report
RON BELLER
Retired mechanical engineer, photographer About me I grew up in the small town of Hamburg, New York, just south of Buffalo. Being from a rural area, my older brother and I loved to hunt and fish. We took every opportunity that was available after school, weekends or vacations to enjoy nature. After receiving a BS degree in mechanical engineering, I moved to Connecticut. There I met my wife, Janice. After 10-plus years and three children, my goal was to move westward to the Denver area. Having worked in the aerospace industry since graduating from college, I was hired by a small company in Denver that designed and manufactured maintenance tools for jet engines. We chose to live in the Parker area for the rural setting, great schools, a great environment to raise children, and easy commute to Denver. Discovering a new world My love for nature inspired me to take up photography, as a hobby, many years ago. However, I did not take it to an advanced level until my family gifted me a three-day rafting photography workshop trip. Since that time, my photography has blossomed to awardwinning levels. The world of nature photography has opened a new dimension as to what I see in our environment.

There is nothing more peaceful than listening or seeing nature, either in the mountains or on the flatlands. Being a photographer, I now see things from a different prospective and appreciate more what Mother Nature has given us.
Enjoying retirement I am currently retired. I am a member of the Parker Artists Guild and active in the Rotary Club of Parker, where I am the director of public relations and a photographer. Additional activities that I enjoy include, hiking, exercising at the Parker Recreation Center, exploring Colorado and the United States, traveling worldwide, and of course landscape/nature photography.
Out and about During my working career, our vacations were very short. Even though I traveled worldwide for business, I still love to travel to foreign countries, but now as a tourist. We love to meet the local people, learn about their culture, enjoy the food and drink, view the scenery, and historic sites. Consequently, every year we take an extended trip to various parts of the world. If we go to Europe, I usually plan the trip, rent a car and stay in B&B’s, tourist farms or small hotels. After each trip, I publish a photographic travel book that I make available to the public.
Relaxing away I love the outdoors and the mountains. So a good relaxing day is getting out and communing with nature,

The Douglas County School District has partnered with the Anthony Bates Foundation to provide free cardiac screens to student-athletes of the district from noon to 5 p.m. Nov. 14 at Mountain Vista High School and noon to 5 p.m. Nov. 15 at Chaparral High School. The leading killer of young athletes is a condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or “enlarged heart.” Every three days, a seeminglyhealthy student-athlete dies from sudden cardiac arrest while playing sports. Avoiding those heartbreaking deaths is possible with a heart screening. The painless, fast screenings check children for heart conditions leading to SCA. In the 14 years of ABF conducting free screenings, consistently, one out of 10 student athletes are
found with a detectable, serious, treatable heart condition. With its cadre of sponsors, volunteers, and volunteer nurses and cardiac physicians, the foundation with the support of our sponsors will perform for free the normally $1,250 echocardiogram, a $500 electrocardiogram with a physician review. While there is no charge for the child heart screenings at this event, a voluntary tax-deductible contribution to the Anthony Bates Foundation of just $65 helps fund screenings for more children. All student-athletes are invited to attend either of the events in November. All athletes must be preregistered for the event. Follow the link below to complete registration for either of the two DCSD events www.anthonybates. org/preregistration-co. html.

Forum showcases power of students School board candidates field questions from those they affect most By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s a rainy morning on Oct. 21, and the students of Mountain Vista Media are hard at work in the high school’s newsroom. The next evening they will host a student-run forum for the candidates in the Douglas County School Board race. There’s only a day left to finalize plans for the live stream, social media hashtags, live blog and candidate questions before the forum in the auditorium at Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch. “We’re not giving them the questions ahead of time to answer or even think about,” said Tara O’Gorman, Mountain Vista Media editor. “When someone is put on the spot, they answer more truthfully.” O’Gorman and fellow editor Katie Pickrell have spent the past six weeks organizing the production of the forum with their classmates. Mountain Vista Media has 60 students involved in media from broadcast to yearbook, a website and news magazine. They routinely publish school, local and national news and opinion pieces on their website, Vistanow.org. The journalism students are also active on Twitter and Instagram @vista_now. A voice for students The Mountain Vista Media students collected candidate-forum questions from students at other Douglas County high schools and also will take questions submitted on social media during the event. “A lot of kids feel like they don’t have a voice when it comes to the school board,” Pickrell said. “But, really, you are the ones they are accountable for, not the parents. Even though it’s the parents’ money, the money affects you.”
Tara O’Gorman, right, and Katie Pickrell prepare for the student-sponsored school board candidate forum Oct. 21 in the Mountain Vista Media room. Photo by Mike DiFerdinando Among the most popular topics of questions submitted by district students — standardized testing, changing class schedules and snow days. O’Gorman called the pushback against standardized testing a movement among the students and referenced last year’s walkouts by seniors as an indicator of dissatisfaction. Pickrell and O’Gorman, both seniors, also said they have heard concerns from students about their teachers leaving the district. “When you have to face a student and tell them they aren’t getting the education they deserve, that’s hard,” O’Gorman said. “It’s different than facing voters.” O’Gorman has been involved with Mountain Vista Media since her freshman year. She became an editor as a junior and began covering politics and the Douglas County School Board from a student perspective.
ACC
“I never, ever thought that I would get into politics or be this passionate about it,” O’Gorman said. Pickrell joined the staff as a sophomore after taking her first journalism class. However, it was a trip to Washington, D.C., that turned her hobby into a passion. “We took a trip to the national high school journalism convention,” Pickrell said. “I realized this is really something I care about, especially the political aspect of it.” Student media adviser Mark Newton said the two students have been the driving force behind the candidate forum and that other students have turned to them for help and advice. “Tara and Katie are really involved in just thinking about the world,” Newton said. “They are very intelligent so (their passion) really doesn’t surprise me for those two.”

Showtime It’s the evening of Oct. 22 and people are beginning to flood into the Mountain Vista auditorium for the forum. The lights are dimmed and students hustle around the room, plugging in cords, checking cameras and Internet feeds. “I’m a little nervous,” said Pickrell, who will kick off the show as the moderator. The candidates shake hands and introduce themselves to the students. It’s 7:05 p.m. as Pickrell introduces herself and her classmates before welcoming parents, students and candidates to the forum. Each candidate has a chance for an opening statement before diving into the student questions. The crowd becomes unruly at times, cheering and booing depending on the candidate and answer. When it’s O’Gorman’s turn to step behind the lectern and host, she calmly and sternly warns the crowd to be respectful and hold their outbursts. Questions touch on everything from student input in teacher evaluations and standardized testing to the superintendent’s salary and how teachers are supposed to teach world-class outcomes on shoestring budgets. When the dust settles, the students thank the candidates for coming and receive a loud ovation from their classmates and parents in the audience. For Mountain Vista Media student Christian Holton, whose mother is an elementary teacher in the district, the opportunity to ask the candidates questions in a professional setting was a thrill. “At first, it was a little nerve-racking,” Holton said. “But after we got warmed up it was pretty exhilarating to ask these questions that we haven’t had answers to for a long time.” For students, the evening was empowering. “I think we exposed our voice as students and that (the candidates) really didn’t expect it,” O’Gorman said. “It was really good and definitely was something that people needed to hear.”

Kids connecting with PACE shows Theater partners with local schools to make lessons interactive By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com A concerted effort to tune into the ideas that fascinate and educate children has resulted in a string of sold-out shows at the PACE Center. The officials who oversee programming at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center have connected with schools throughout Douglas County and incorporated live shows to correspond with classroom reading assignments. The house was packed during six professional performances depicting “The Cat in the Hat, “Golden Dragon Acrobats” and “Fly Guy and Other Stories” between Oct. 12 and Oct. 26, largely because the
PACE Center has put an emphasis on family-friendly shows in 2015. “Parents are eager to do something with the kids rather than send the kids off or go out on their own date night,” said Kirstin Fletcher, education manager for PACE. Fletcher consults with local teachers to find out what their curriculum looks like and builds the show calendar around the in-class assignments. The shows are interspersed throughout the year with popular bands and productions that round out the entertainment lineup for the 530-seat theater. The kids shows generally take place during the school day, turning them into field trips in which children learn, interact and have fun at the same time. Elaine Mariner, cultural director for the Town of Parker, says schools and families in the Parker area are “finding the time and resources to make sure their children have the opportunity to experience live
theater performances in addition to their in-school arts learning. Both are essential to a well-rounded education, and these parents and teachers are to be commended for making this commitment.” Because the touring productions have limited availability, demand is not being met. Fletcher said the PACE Center sold out its student matinees in August early on, leaving some teachers and parents disappointed. Fletcher reached out to teachers at the beginning of the summer, knowing that seats would go quickly, and received an overwhelming response before the school year started. Besides researching what’s popular at other theaters, Fletcher solicits ideas from elementary school educators and bounces ideas off her 8-year-old daughter. “I use her as my gauge on what would be a good show and what wouldn’t, as well as the teachers in the schools,” she said. When a show with broader appeal
PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT
comes along, the PACE Center schedules evening performances, all of which last about an hour and begin at 6 p.m. to allow parents to get the kids in bed by 8 p.m. Because costs for large families can get steep, the PACE Center sets low prices for the tickets: $7 per person for groups and $12 for individuals. Touring groups can be expensive to bring in, but Fletcher says the money is worth it. “It’s not a huge return for us,” she says. “It’s more of a gift to the community.” The fall line-up has generated multiple sell-outs and the productions scheduled for next spring promise to do the same. “Big Bubble Circus,” Opera Colorado’s rendition of “Hansel and Gretel,” and “Stuart Little” are expected to be big hits.

Public gets first look at purifying plant Parker Water and Sanitation gives public tours Staff report The Parker Water and Sanitation District celebrated the grand opening of the Rueter-Hess Water Purification Facility by giving tours to the public Oct. 21. The water treatment plant, which serves approximately 50,000 residents, uses new technologies that have enabled the Parker Water to convert from rapidly declining groundwater sources to a renewable water supply, including surface water, groundwater, alluvial well water and reclaimed wastewater. The new network features a pump station that brings surface water from nearby Cherry Creek and Cherry Creek alluvial wells into the 75,000-acre-foot Rueter-Hess Reservoir southwest of Parker. Water stored in the reservoir flows by gravity into the treatment plant. After moving through the two ballasted sedimentation chambers and ceramic membrane filters, the disinfected water is pumped into the Parker Water’s distribution piping network for use by customers. Wastewater is returned to nearby reclamation facilities and then to Cherry Creek for reuse. Designed by Dewberry, the facility is the first plant in the world to incorporate cutting-edge technologies to meet EPA drinking water standards. A ceramic membrane filtration system is anticipated to last much longer than conventional polymeric membranes. The completion of the facility, which can treat 10 million gallons per day, is part of a multiphase plan for the water district.
The public had the chance to visit the $50 million Rueter-Hess Reservoir Water Purification Facility for the first time during a grand opening Oct. 21.

Tavern comes through for disabled athletes Veterans among those who will benefit from team fundraiser
By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Despite the setbacks, Latseen Benson still manages to get the most out of life. It was 2005 when Benson suddenly found himself a disabled military veteran with nothing to do but muddle through mental and physical trauma while trying his best to recover and recoup a sense of normalcy. He had joined the Army two months after the 9/11 attacks, and four years after that he was gravely injured by an improvised explosive device — or IED — while on routine patrol in Iraq. Benson’s right leg was amputated above the knee, his left leg was taken below the knee, and he suffered other less severe but debilitating injuries, including the loss of feeling in three fingers. He’d been athletic in his youth, but his ability to even walk seemed in question. In fact, he says, playing sports didn’t seem to matter much given the circumstances. He spent the next nine months in the hospital. “It was after a few years before things started getting easier,” he says. “There were difficult days being in a wheelchair, where every day was a hassle.” But with the help of doctors, physical therapists and his wife, Jessica, Benson found his way. Things began to look up. He learned how to use prosthetics, fathered a child, became the proud owner of an adaptive house in Elizabeth through Homes for Our Troops and, eventually, he got back into sports. Benson tried games for those with disabilities: volleyball, basketball and soccer, a version of which he compares to handball. He moved to Colorado after joining a ski team for paralyzed military veterans, but sought a new challenge. At the urging of a coach, he attempted sled hockey, and last year wound up winning
the national sled hockey championship with the Colorado Sled Hockey team. It was a long journey to glory and, most importantly, his involvement in sports helped Benson overcome the depression that haunted him after such a life-changing event. As a tip of the hat to his service and sacrifice — and that of a handful of teammates who were also injured in Iraq and Afghanistan — the Takoda Tavern in Parker is having a fundraiser for the Colorado Sled Hockey team from noon to 6 p.m. Nov. 7. The proceeds will help cover the cost of equipment, team travel and ice time. Bob Nobles, the owner of the Takoda Tavern, said he’s hoping to raise between $7,000 and $10,000. Anyone who donates $10 or more will get a free burger and beer. The way Nobles figures, it’s the least he can do. “These are our kids that got hurt,” he says. “These are kids who still have their whole entire lives in front of them and have had to overcome some tremendous stuff.” A week later, Benson will gather again with a few friends at the Takoda Tavern to knock back a few whiskeys to mark the 10th anniversary of the IED attack and celebrate the fact that he is alive and thriving. During a conversation two years ago, Benson mentioned having a fundraiser for the team and Nobles immediately offered the space for it. “I’m always bewildered by Bob’s graciousness. It’s boundless,” Benson said. “He’s the type of guy who’ll take his shirt off his back for you.” Nobles hosts regular events at the Takoda Tavern for military veterans and Native American organizations like One Nation Walking Together, and says he enjoys raising money for a team of disabled veterans who continue to find ways to have fun and live their lives. “They amaze me every day,” Nobles said. “They don’t cry and don’t complain and they are grateful for everything they have.”

Douglas County to test new voting machines
VOTER SERVICE AND POLLING CENTERS Ballots must be received by the Douglas County Elections Office no later than 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3, in order to be counted. Postmarks do not count. If you have not received your ballot, replacement ballots can be issued in person at one of the voter service and polling centers available in the county.
Locations around state will take part in trial run of new system
The following centers will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Oct. 30, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 31, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 2, and from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 3: • Douglas County Elections office, 125 Stephanie Place, Castle Rock • Douglas County Sheriff’s Office substation, 9250 Zotos Drive, Highlands Ranch • Larkspur Fire Protection District, 9414 S.

ballot issue,” Klotz said. “Even the local city issues and races were more aggressive in 2013.” School board elections in 2009 and 2011 brought out 27 percent and 48 percent of registered voters, respectively. In 2013, more than 50 percent of Douglas County voters sent in their ballots. Douglas County election officials are estimating 100,000 to 130,000 ballots will be submitted for this year’s election. “Whichever side you’re on, I think there are a lot of strong feelings because
By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County is one of eight counties that will be testing new voting machines this election season. The effort is part of an attempt by the Colorado secretary of state’s office to possibly unite all of the state under one system. As part of that initiative, four small counties and four large counties, including Douglas, were asked to pilot next-generation equipment. The other test counties are Adams, Denver, Garfield, Gilpin, Jefferson, Mesa and Teller. They will be trying out four different vendors. According to the secretary of state’s office, the upgrades to newer machines will cost about $10 million to $15 million and the counties will be dividing the cost, if the program moves forward following the test period. There is no charge to the counties during the test period. Douglas County will be testing the Hart Verity system. The system offers a number of ballot setup, operational and audit advances over the previous Hart system, which the county had been using. “Like the other seven counties, we are about to discover how each of the vendor’s products perform in battle,” Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Merlin Klotz said. The new systems differ from previous systems in that instead of accumulating data on an electronic storage medium at the polling place, devices at polling locations are required to print a paper ballot that looks exactly like the mail ballots. This ballot may then be forwarded to

it’s right there,” Larsen said. “Some of this national stuff, everybody has opinions, but its starts to feel a little removed.” Candidate David Ray said the large turnouts seen for school board races in recent years are the result of parents who are invested in their children’s education. “A large majority of the parents, of the 60,000 students in our district, are upset with politics influencing the educational decisions made for their children,” Ray said. “They are rallying against a political machine that is taking advantage of the 70 percent of voters who are uninformed because they do not currently have children in the schools.”

POLLING PLACES While most voting is done by mail-in ballot, Douglas County does offer several places to vote in person on Election Day. For more information, go to www.douglas. co.us/elections central processing or field-scanned to an electronic medium. This approach gives voters an opportunity to look at their ballots and confirm that markings are as intended before submitting them. As for 2016, Klotz said the county may return to the previous Hart system or possibly continue to use the Hart Verity system now being piloted. That decision depends on a number of factors including the secretary of state, satisfaction with Hart Verity performance and cost. Secretary of State Wayne Williams has said he plans to choose one new system to unify the state behind, based on the performance during the test run in 2015. Klotz said the move to a single system across the state may pose some challenges. “Can the same system used by Douglas be cost-effective for Sedgwick with only 2,500 residents?” he asked. “Can Colorado risk reliance on the financial health of a single vendor for the execution of elections over the next 10 to 20 years? Would a single vendor hold Colorado hostage on cost of acquisition and support?” According to Klotz, the county has been extremely happy with the current Hart system, but it is approaching end of its life cycle. “We may by choice, or choices made by others, find ourselves with a new system in the future,” he said.

Rescue Continued from Page 1
The missing bikers were located cold, but alive, in near-blizzard conditions by team members. Bill Clendenning, who has been a team member since the unit’s beginning, said that the Castlewood Canyon scenario was unique because the number of casualties required the rescue team to problemsolve how to get the mass of people down from atop the canyon. “We never know what’s going to happen, and the more experience the team has, the better equipped we are to deal with any incident that comes up,” Clendenning said. “If we do come up with a mass casualty, we’ve experienced that. If we come up with something less, we can put that knowledge and training into play.”

policy that balances all of that.” The department also involved local stakeholders, including the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s office, Parker officers, nearby law enforcement, the Police Executive Research Forum, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and the federal government. The department took its time in laying a foundation for the policy. The roll-out of body cams was in response to the transparency expected from a police force, King said, and technology was far enough along to introduce them to the whole department. “Even before Ferguson, we have always tried to be innovative when it comes to technology here in Parker,” King said. “For me and for the organization, I just knew that this was going to be something that law enforcement was going to have to face in the future and I think we were right when it comes to making that decision.” Chad Marlow, who serves as advocacy and policy counsel for the ACLU’s na-
tional office in New York, said the biggest challenge is striking a balance between transparency and accountability and protecting individual privacy. Marlow said police agencies “coast to coast are reviewing Parker’s policy right now” as they explore the use of body-worn cameras. “It’s not within the mission of the Parker Police Department to serve the entire country, but it has done that and I think that is extremely commendable,” Marlow said. Parker officers and command staff who interact with the public began wearing body cameras in September. The department started its research in January 2014 and launched a pilot program that ran from May to early September this year. Officer feedback was a significant factor in the department’s decision to order 67 Tazer Axon cameras at a cost of $399 apiece. The total cost for the cameras, video storage, a service agreement, and docking stations for the first two years was $152,000, which came from a drug-seizure fund and not the town’s general fund or taxpayer money, Peters said. Annual costs for body cams are expected to be around $66,000. Parker tested products from three separate vendors — Tazer, VIEVU and

Panasonic — before selecting Tazer. Aside from officer reports on ease of use, the department considered functionality in uploading videos and the security of cloud-based storage. Costs comparisons between Tazer and VIEVU, the two final contenders, were similar, Peters said. The department will decide within six months whether it will need to hire an additional evidence technician to manage requests for videos. King said he expects the cameras will not only eliminate doubt on how an incident transpired, but will be a time-saver for officers and the court system. They
also could potentially de-escalate situations before they get out of hand. “People are going to act differently when they know they’re being recorded,” the chief said. A well-thought-out approach to bodyworn cameras and accompanying policy make the Parker police unique, as does the ACLU’s glowing endorsement, Marlow said. “It’s easy in government to wait for a crisis to occur and react to it,” he said. “The fact that the Parker Police Department is this proactive, this is one of their hallmarks.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Partisan divide prevents progress The three partisan letters to the editor in your Oct. 15 issue concerning the Douglas County School Board were disappointing. I tend to discount commentary that is only critical and disapproving. In tone, the submissions felt orchestrated, timed for publication just as ballots arrived in the mail. One correspondent is not a resident. For me, the reflection of their uncompromising partisanship does a disservice to the candidates they endorse. Any management performs some functions well (even very well) and others less well (even inadequately). So, credibility calls for at least some acknowledgement of inevitable positive results or endeavors: Maybe student-performance rankings, or tech and Wi-Fi initiatives, or charter school governance. Past or present, management is a mix of differing pluses and minuses. There is no idealized time to be recaptured. (Same goes for those who only have praise without remarking shortcomings.) As a Douglas County property-tax payer, I contribute nearly $1,100 annually (over $10,000 in 10 years) to our education system, an acceptable responsibility to the children of our community. For my funding, I believe education systems achieve better, fairer teacheraccountability through pay-for-performance programs rather than by pay-for-tenure. For those who find public education lacking, I support alternatives, including charter schools, magnet schools, cyber schooling and tuition vouchers. Over two election cycles, Douglas County
voters have chosen a fiscally conservative, provoucher school board obligated to heed constituents’ sentiment. The current board seems to continue struggling to overcome a significant public communications gap (acknowledging that some have no wish to listen). Others could be more effective by shaping a response that works within the given circumstances. My reading is that all six board candidates offer worthy qualifications, each striving for educational excellence. Hopefully, the election of these smart people will move us past unproductive partisan divides. Anything less would be disheartening. Charles Dippold Highlands Ranch Incumbents have schools on correct path The Douglas County School Board election in November is about only one thing. And that is whether the teachers union will return triumphant to force its rigid seniority rules, erasing the reforms of the union-scuttling incumbents that have given parents kids who are learning more and performing better. Under the incumbent board, merit pay rewarding teachers with raises according to their skills has resulted in all-time-high ACT/SAT scores, better on-time graduation rates, and the district being among only 15 Accredited with Distinction by the Department of Education. Teachers from each school helped design the performance-pay system that the union says is “demoralizing” and “punitive.” It’s likely underperforming teachers rated “partially ineffective” or “ineffective” by the achievement
standards are indeed demoralized, and in fact they leave, accounting for much of the turnover that critics cite. But parents who want their kids taught by excellent teachers won’t be troubled by turnover, which is in line with nearby districts. Rather, they will be delighted that the district is retaining 95 percent of the teachers rated “highly effective” and 90 percent of the “effective” teachers. Great teachers mean great education, studies say. Three years ago negotiations with the teachers’ union collapsed when board members wanted to stop paying $300,000 in taxpayer dollars to union leaders on the district payroll who never taught a day in the classroom. The district was also forced to siphon off $1.3 million in teachers’ union dues from paychecks, more taxpayer money which ended up funding Democrats’ political candidates nationally. The incumbent board members said not fair. If Douglas County voters want the union death grip to strangle the successful reforms they should vote for the challengers. But if they want better pay for exceptional teachers, improved learning, leadership committed to forward-thinking educational opportunities, like public charter schools and choice, vote for the incumbent board: Larsen, Richardson and Robbins.

Sometimes there’s music that cuts through murk The Zombies were in town recently. No, not the candidates. The “She’s Not There” Zombies. About 45 years ago, I was in the school newspaper offices at UCLA and spotted a Zombies PR packet. It featured someone named Colin Blunstone. That name stuck in my head. A name like Colin Blunstone would stick in the head of someone named Craig Smith. Blunstone is 70, and all of the other surviving Zombies are older than I am too. When I saw the newspaper article about their Denver concert, I had to read it twice. I thought it might be one of those tribute bands. Nope. It’s them. It’s not Them. Them was Van Morrison’s group. The Zombies had back-to-back hits, and then recorded an album, “Odessey (sic) and Oracle,” that went nowhere initially. Later Rolling Stone ranked it number 100 on its list of the 500 Great Albums of All Time. The group played the album in its entirety in Denver. It’s only 35 minutes long, so they must have added a few songs to the playlist. I know that some performers stay
around forever. It happens all the time in classical music. But usually a band that only has a couple of hits fades away. I tried to imagine some of the other bands Craig Marshall Smith from that era touring again. QUIET Herman’s DESPERATION Hermits, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas. Billy J. Kramer’s middle initial was not “J.” John Lennon suggested it. He thought it gave Kramer a “tougher edge.” Lennon, and McCartney, also gave Kramer some songs. They turned out to be their biggest hits. Those few years of the early Beatles and all of the bands that followed them from England made a big impression on me.

override funds while denying in district students. Since the school district has no clear guidelines on what capacity of a school is, our schools have to accept out-of-district students and continue to provide mobiles to meet growing enrollment. To help fund capital needs of the district, could these override funds be used for that purpose rather than funding out of district students? It would remove funds to our resident students as well or can the district just keep funds that go to out of district students and use for capital needs? This may force schools to look closer at capacity and possibly not accepting out-of-district students as well as charter schools giving in-district students a better chance of attending a charter. Taxpayer money is not being used to benefit our kids. Are changes needed or are you comfortable with the manner things are occurring? Dave Usechek Parker

What’s with the painted cars? Have you wondered why cars around Douglas County are painted with the names “Lemieux, Ray, Vogel?” I drive one of those cars, and would love to explain. The school board election on Nov. 3 is a David-vs.Goliath battle. On the David side are parents, teachers and community members reaching into their own wallets to inform the community about three pro-public education candidates — Anne-Marie Lemieux, David Ray and Wendy Vogel. With no “big money” backing them, these candidates have to rely on grassroots efforts such as painted cars to spread the word. In the Goliath corner, the incumbents have a gigantic advertising budget funded by several large organizations. My husband and I, registered Republicans, have received not one, not two, but three mailers from the incumbents. Paid for by Citizens for a Sound Government, Douglas County Education Alliance and the Republican Party. Wait, what? The Republican Party? School board elections are supposed to be nonpartisan! Additionally, DCEA is hiring canvassers, producing TV ads and buying airtime on Denver TV stations. Much of this and other money can be tied to out-of-state donors. The power is in your hands to decide the winner — David or Goliath? If you don’t want to decide solely on painted cars, I urge you to watch a candidate debate. You can find video of last week’s debate at MVHS on the Vistanow.org site under The Scoop — Local. I am confident that after watching, your will choose to vote for the names on the cars: Lemieux, Ray and Vogel. Amy McDowell Highlands Ranch A new way to fund capital needs? Since the Douglas County School Board will not allow voters to decide if funds for school capital needs are needed, where are they going to get money to repair/update our schools? Suggestion: Voters approved override funds for the schools and are they being used for Douglas County students? Since these funds go to schools either neighborhood or charter schools, who is receiving the benefit? Our schools have many out-of-district students attending that receive these funds. Example: Legend High had 60 out-of-district students attend there for the 2014-15 school year. That equates a need for two teachers and since it may be overcrowded, a mobile classroom. Total cost just for those 60 kids comes to around $225,000 that comes from Douglas County taxpayers. Granted the state money those kids bring with them might offset some of the cost but a mobile at a school comes at a cost to taxpayers well over $100,000. Charter schools enrolled over 700 out of district students, which equates to 58 percent of all out-of-district students attending Douglas County Schools receiving

Vote yes on 2A This November, Parker residents have an opportunity to protect the future of Parker’s parks, recreation, trails and open space by voting yes on 2A. Did you know it’s been a quarter of a century since the town of parker has increased their investment in parks? Since 1990, Parker’s population has grown nearly 900 percent, but our tax funding for parks and recreation has remained the same. The additional funds generated from this proposed sales tax will be used to develop new parks and trails, acquire open space and build new recreation facilities. The first project to be constructed would be the 90-acre expansion of Salisbury Park North which would include new sports fields, an adventure play area, an outdoor performance area, nature areas and much more. Future projects could include the expansion of H2O’Brien Pool and O’Brien Park, an expanded trail network, the acquisition and development of open space and additional indoor recreation facilities. As the community’s interests grow and the town expands, the current funding levels aren’t sufficient to keep up with both ongoing maintenance and the development of new parks and facilities. For example, national guidelines suggest a community of Parker’s size should have 16 baseball fields to meet the demand. Currently, only 10 fields exist. An additional half-cent sales tax would primarily be used to construct new projects to keep up with Parker’s growing needs for more sports fields, parks, trails and recreation facilities. This is our opportunity! Just a half-cent increase in sales tax will generate approximately $5.7 million each year beginning in 2016 that can be invested into building new parks and trails, acquiring more open space and constructing more recreation facilities. Bring more parks, open space, trails and recreation to Parker — VOTE YES ON 2A. Kristy Thomas Parker Hawks administrator
A student’s words to the school board Editor’s Note: Julia Martin, a Douglas County School District seventh-grader, spoke to the Douglas County Board of Education during public comment at the Oct. 20 meeting. Here is what she wrote and why she presented it to the board. My assignment was to set a goal that we are passionate about. I am passionate about helping my fellow students and I want to get a good education. When I came home that day after getting that assignment, I told my mom that I wanted to do something bigger than myself by publicly speaking. I chose the board because not a lot of kids have spoken to the board of education. I was assigned this project six weeks ago and it was due by the end of the quarter. This got bigger than I expected! This is what I said: My name is Julia Martin and I am seventh-grader in this district. My teacher gave my class an assignment to set and accomplish a goal about something we are passionate about. My goal is to use my voice to stand up for myself and my school. First, I see experienced teachers leaving because how they are being treated. Kids that follow me, like my little brother, are missing out on these teachers. New teachers learn from more experienced teachers. If there are no experienced teachers to mentor them, how will they learn? Who will they collaborate with? Second, the mismanagement of money is affecting me as a student.
You want us to have world-class outcomes, right? I look around and see wallpaper peeling and falling-apart computers. We are either Julia Martin freezing or burning up in our classrooms every day. Parents are having to hold fundraisers for things like new math curriculum. Where is the money that is meant for kids going? This doesn’t make sense to me. This does not seem “world class.” I’m 13 years old. I don’t have all the answers but I know this: Collaboration is working together. Communication is listening to both sides. Creativity takes courage. Critical thinking is stepping back and looking at what is working and what is not working. There are several things that are not working. Please put the money back in our schools and not in glossy ads and more websites. Please treat our teachers in a way that they want to stay and help us grow. We are not a “system,” we are students. We are kids. This is our time to learn. Please give us a positive place to do that.

Task force opens client-services center An open house for the new client services area will be held 4-7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 29. Photo by Shanna Fortier
Facility means more privacy, ability to increase numbers
By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas/Elbert Task Force, a human service organization that helps people in Douglas and Elbert counties who are in serious economic need, at risk of homelessness or in a similar crisis, opened the doors to its new client-services building in Castle Rock last week. The center was scheduled to open in June, but issues with the fire-suppression system and an antiquated fire alarm system pumped up the project cost by about $70,000 and pushed the opening back four months to Oct. 13. The renovation project took almost $250,000 to complete, with $201,000 funded by the 2014 Douglas County Community Development Block Grant program. Another $26,000 came from Castle Rock’s portion of the 2015 community grant funding. A variety of organizations also contributed, including Castle Rock Rotary, Leadership Douglas County, Highlands Ranch Rotary,
Village Idiots Bicycling Club and Office Liquidations. “As part of the mission statement of the Task Force, it says in there that we will provide dignity to our clients,” said Jim Weglarz, board chairman. “The old set-up wasn’t the best for that.” Renovation of the new space, which was previously a vacant, unfinished part of the building, not only affords the organization more space but also more privacy. “What the new center really offers to us is a much more professional working environment,” Weglarz said. “It will provide us with
the opportunity to expand our client services moving forward.” There are now two offices where clientservices advocates can meet with clients. By utilizing both offices, the center could double the number of clients served. The second office also is being considered to house computers and a possible job assistance space, Weglarz said. He added that in January, there will be a push from the federal government for social services agencies, such as the task force, to provide a tracking model that shows how clients are moving into self-sufficiency.

IF YOU GO The Douglas/Elbert Task Force will host its annual Celebrate the Season event from noon to 4 p.m. Nov. 8 at Treasures, the nonprofit’s thrift store, located at 1638 Park St. in Castle Rock. There will be holiday merchandise, gift baskets and — new this year — a boutique. Advance tickets are $10, which allows shopping from 11 a.m. to noon. Call 303-688-6129 or visit the store.
“We’re going to have to look for what other client services we can provide to achieve that goal,” Weglarz said. The center’s growth and expansion over the years would not have been possible without Suzanne Greene, who was executive director for 11 years, Weglarz said. “She was instrumental in moving us from the small building on Jerry Street to this location,” he said, “and we are very thankful for that and her services to the task force.” The Douglas/Elbert Task Force will host an open house for the new client service area, open to the public, from 4-7 p.m. Oct. 29 at 1638 Park St., Castle Rock.

Buzz Aldrin lands at LaRue Library STEM students excited to meet astronaut who visited moon
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Mars is even more interesting when a real-life astronaut is talking about it. An audience of about 340 people gathered at James H. LaRue Library in Highlands Ranch on Oct. 19 to see and listen to Buzz Aldrin, the Apollo 11 lunar module pilot and second man to walk on ethe moon. Among the audience members were five students from STEM School and Academy in Highlands Ranch who signed up months ago to volunteer at the event. “We really want to hear Buzz Aldrin speak,” sophomore Sebastian Del Barco msaid. “And, of course, we want to meet -him.” The evening started with videos and photos of Aldrin, 85, on his space missions — Gemini 12 in 1966 and Apollo e11 in 1969, with fellow astronaut Neil .Armstrong. Mission director of Aldrin Enterprises,

Christina Korp, accompanied Aldrin on stage. Aldrin, 85, recalled the story of how he
got the name “Buzz.” “My sister pronounced brother as bruzzer,” he said. “So my family called me
Buzz for short.” Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr. made Buzz his legal first name in the 1980s. Aldrin also introduced his new children’s book, “Welcome to Mars: Making a Home on the Red Planet,” which is written from the point of view of a young astronaut on a mission to Mars. “Upon landing, Aldrin describes how the first explorers — including the reader — will de-dust themselves, set up camp and begin finding resources,” according to space.com. For Del Barco, who is in the engineering program at STEM and aspires to be in the aerospace and aero-economics industries, the event made the dream seem a little closer. He and his classmates are working on an aerospace intern rocket that tracks things like temperature and pressure at about 1,500 feet off the ground. Students in the engineering program build everything from robotics to rockets, said Mike Shallenberger, STEM department chair for engineering. And now five of those students can say they’ve listened to an astronaut speak about the marvels of space.

Options to combat hearing loss have evolved By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com

hile many vision problems are easily detected and treated, experts say it isn’t that way with hearing loss. “I knew it was getting hard to hear people talking, particularly in a crowd, but I just figured it was because I was getting older,” Douglas County resident Julie Foster said. She said her family finally insisted she get her hearing checked. “I had a hearing test that showed I had hearing loss in both ears,” the 68-year-old said. “I put it off, but eventually did get hearing aids. It was a huge change, and it was fun to hear everything clearly again.” Statistics from The National Institute of Deafness and Other Communications Disorders show that about 28 million Americans suffer hearing loss, including deafness. The same report stated that only about 6 million Americans have sought to correct the problem with hearing aids. Ronald Olson, clinical audiologist at the University of Colorado Hospital, said people usually only get their hearing checked when they sense a loss. “Most people never get their hearing checked,” he said. “Usually people only decide to come in for a hearing test when they’re noticing more difficulty in one-onone conversations, in group situations and in background noise.” Olson said the first test is called a baseline test and is used in future treatment to determine whether the loss is increasing. If the person chooses to get hearing aids, the baseline test determines the need — whether it is amplification of all frequencies, amplification of certain frequencies or reduction of background noise. Technology has made it possible to screen the hearing of about 95 percent of newborns before they leave the hospital using an auditory brain response measurement, he said. Jim Woodward, former Englewood mayor, said he decided to have a hearing test soon after he was elected to the city council. “After two meetings, I realized I couldn’t hear most of the conversations and discussions,” he said. “I went and had my hearing tested and purchased hearing aids for both ears.” He was surprised to find the hearing aids were expensive and that most types of insurance do not cover them.
Hearing test provides diagnosis By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Rebecca Heilig adminsters a hearing test in the office of the Hearing Rehab Center in Centennial. Heilig, an audiologist, administers tests for those who are experiencing hearing difficulties as the first step to determine if a hearing assistance device is needed. “I began using the hearing aids, and I found they made some difference,” he said. “It wasn’t a huge difference, but it did help me to hear what was being said at the council meetings. These work OK and, although technology has come a long way, I have no plans to upgrade to new hearing aids.” Efforts to deal with hearing problems date to the 1700s, when a firm marketed the ear trumpet, a long funnel-like device designed to focus sound into the ear. In the late 1880s, a company used the same technology as that used in telephones to amplify sound to market a hearing aid. There were hearing aids that used vacuum tubes, transistors and, eventually, digital technology. Rebecca Heilig, an audiologist with the commercial firm Hearing Rehab Centers, said for years hearing aids were bulky. In the 1960s, for example, the patient wore a box around the neck wired with a set of earphones. “Those were just amplifiers,” she said. “By that, I mean those devices amplified all frequencies the same. The advance was to analog devices that were made so small adjustments could be made with a screwdriver.” For many years, hearing aids were visible, with a mold in the ear connected by tubing to a device usually worn behind the ear. Technology has shrunk the size and
Technology has created a variety of sizes and shapes for devices to help people who suffer hearing loss. shape of hearing aids. Today, a patient can choose a hearing aid that fits entirely inside the ear. One of the latest devices is tiny, placed inside the ear and replaced about every month. There are also devices not connected to the ear, like bone conduction hearing aids. These are implanted in the bony area behind the ear and conduct the sound through the bone to the ear. Today, digital hearing aids allow audiologists to use wireless technology, view the information on a computer and make adjustments to frequencies, volume and noise reduction. “The technology is getting better all the time,” Heilig said. “Everything is adjusted through the computer, with advances to allow more adjustments to fine-tune each frequency to better accommodate the patient’s need.”
A hearing test takes about an hour and is very informative. Hearing Rehab Center, a commercial firm with a number of offices around the metro area, offers free tests. The company Tom Munds carries hearing aids from a number of commercial manufacturers if a patient decides he or she wants to purchase one. Rebecca Heilig, an audiologist with the Hearing Rehab Center in Centennial, administered a full test on me. I was seated in a sound-proof room. For this test, I chose to wear headphones, but could have selected earbuds. Heilig told me there would be sounds of different volume and frequency coming through the headset and, when I heard the sound, I was to press the button I was holding. She shut the door and moved to her computer control panel. She could see me through the window connecting the two areas and she could talk to me through the headphones. In addition to the tones, she also measured how well I could hear despite background noise by asking me to repeat sentences. There were other audio tests as well. The test took about an hour and, when completed, she provided me a report on the results. In my case, the test showed I had significant hearing loss in the left ear and, to hear normally, I probably should get a hearing aid.

A musical dialogue on politics, hope Nobody really likes election season, right? The idea behind it is one thing: Nobility and inspiration in the notion of citizens having a voice in their government and, if necessary, changing it peacefully. But the multi-year trial that election season has become, particularly with presidential races —consider we still have a full 12 months to go — can cause even the most ardent of patriots to despair. But despite the system’s imperfections, there are times when the dialogue surrounding our country’s direction can create something beautiful. The turbulent 1960s led to some of the best music ever recorded. So many of those songs were birthed out of political frustration and helplessness. Bob Dylan rightly stands out as the pinnacle of this kind of expression, and his 1963 anthem “Blowin’ in the Wind” helped to bring protest music into the mainstream. It’s never left. Today, protest music has worked its way into all genres — you can hear it in the Dixie Chicks’ and Tom Morello’s take on folk, Green Day’s pop-punk, and rap from Public Enemy to Kendrick Lamar. But “Blowin’ in the Wind” remains unassailable. For a long time, Dylan claimed it wasn’t a protest song, saying at an early performance in April 1962, “This here ain’t no protest song or anything like that, ‘cause I don’t write no protest songs.” And in regards to “Blowin’ in the Wind,” he’s right. It’s not angry. He’s not throwing out blame at any particular person or institution. And he’s certainly not pushing for any change or remedy. Instead of offering answers, it’s all questions: “How many deaths will it take till he knows/That too many people have died?” and “How many years can some people
exist/Before they’re allowed to be free?” There are no hard and fast answers. The questions were meant to be pondered and debated. “Blowin’ in the Wind” was a challenge to the world that changed the way many people thought about society. One who perhaps heard Dylan’s call the clearest was Sam Cooke, who translated what he heard Clarke Reader into “A Change is Gonna Come,” LINER Cooke’s crowning achievement and a standard of the Civil Rights era. NOTES According to Rolling Stone magazine, what really impressed Cooke was the way Dylan wrote a song that transcended race so powerfully. Reportedly, Cooke said “Jeez — a white boy writing a song like that?” Inspired by Dylan and pulling from his own experiences — including being arrested for disturbing the peace in Louisiana in 1963 when he and his band tried to check in at a white motel — Cooke used his soaring vocals tell a story of despair and the strength of hope. The way he stretches out the word “born” in the first line still gives goosebumps. His lyrics about loss are immediately recognizable to all who have experienced it: There been times when I thought I couldn’t last for long But now I think I’m able to carry on It’s been a long time coming But I know a change is gonna come, oh, yes, it will “A Change is Gonna Come” remains vital, not just to the African-American community (still waiting for the
Sad day arrives for Denver eatery Lower48 Kitchen The owner of Lower48 Kitchen, a contemporary American eatery at 2020 Lawrence St., announced in an email to customers that it will close after dinner service on Nov. 7. Here’s some of what owner Mario Nocifera wrote: “Good afternoon friends, “I am reaching out on behalf of the entire Lower48 team. Chef/partner Alex Figura and I started this adventure four years ago with sincere goals and I couldn’t be more proud of what we, as a team, created. “I write to you with a heavy heart, as we have made the very difficult decision to close Lower48. Our last night of service will be Saturday, November 7, and we hope you will come in and join us in celebration and reflection of two great years serving the community. “To the team that helped open Lower48, to our fantastic guests, loyal supporters, friends & family, landlord and investors: thank you for your generosity, belief, unwavering support and tireless work to help grow and develop Lower48 into what it is today.”

Mosaic show glistens in Parker PACE Center exhibits work of Colorado artists By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The viewer at a new exhibit in Parker will want to stop in front of each artwork and consider what materials were used in creating it. Mosaic tiles, glass, rocks, bits of mirror, gems, seeds, metal pieces and more are combined in imaginative ways to make a framed piece of art — one that will change with shifting light. Design ranges from traditional to abstract in a great variety of textures and colors. The exhibit is “Assemblage: Works by Colorado Mosaic Artists,” installed in the gallery and on lobby walls at Parker’s PACE Center through Nov. 14. The group seeks to promote mosaic as a fine art and educate the public about how it’s done and about possible uses. Members also contribute effort and art to a chartable project regularly, adding brightness to new surroundings, including projects overseas. A prospective mosaic artist can find information about meetings and classes at the CMA website (coloradomosaics.org), where they will be assured that new members are welcome. A number of members offer instruction, and there are local and statewide meetings and exhibits such as “Assemblage.” Pieces are displayed in the Bellco Credit Union Art Gallery inside the PACE Center’s en-

trance and along lobby walls. Most are for sale. Included are several south area artists: Ron Candelaria of Littleton has a 36-by-72-inch panel in the gallery, a landscape made of small tiles. He is new to the art form and also has another smaller piece in the show. Susan A. Judy of Centennial builds “geofantasies” with semi-precious gemstones, crystals, fossils and quarried stone, called pietra dura mosaic. She exhibits at international rock and gem shows, art and geologic forums. Judy Pendelton of Parker says her lifelong love of quilting, drawing and collage led her to mosaics. Sources for ideas come from her extensive world travels. Marlea Taylor of Englewood said, “Shape, color and texture interest me. Mosaics are a great way to explore all three.” Her abstract landscape tile mosaic is completed in subdued earth tones. Other artists in the exhibit are Jane Glotzer, Lynnette Kupferer, Delcia Litt, Charles Meyers, Pat Monroe, Carol Turtness Newman, Kathy Thaden, Jan Wharton, Becki Whittington and Jean Wilson.

‘Bookface’ journey gets underway Musical comedy tests its wings at Aurora Fox
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The weekend of Oct. 16-18 marked the debut of a new musical comedy starting on its way out into the world. The Aurora Fox mainstage was the venue for Melissa Faith Hart and Bruce Perry to launch “Bookface,” a musical tale of three generations of the Klein family — which is not a new concept. The comedy asks: What really connects us? But this is about how that particular family communicates with each other — online, with cell phones and tablets — and with grandparents via landline phone, as they deal with pretty standard cultural situations. Jewish grandparents, Catholic-Jewish marriage of their son, and the impact of Christmas in a mixed household, a troubled middle-age marriage … and then there’s the Muslim girl, Mia (Chanel Karimkhani), who has become a Christian, in love with the son of the Catholic-Jewish marriage — which gives grandmother even more cause for alarm. Throughout the story, Sarah Klein (Rachel Turner), Mia’s college roommate and close friend, serves as a sort of narrator. She starts singing with “Remember When” and threads songs through the story, with others at times. Clever use of a projector weaves through-

out the story. Rachel tries to improve communication between her parents and worries about them. Megan Van De Hay and Kevin Schwartz play the parents, while David Payne and Jan Giese are the grandparents and Andrew Keeler is Rachel’s brother. An experienced cast helped with carrying a new show that will still benefit from some tweaks here and there. The concept/story works. A pianist accompanied the singers, with pleasing arrangements. The energetic, talented Hart is a former Parker resident, who now lives in Denver. Her Slingshot Productions company still lists a Parker address. She and her friend, performer/writer Bruce Perry, who has Broadway experience, developed the idea for “Bookface” two years ago and engaged producing partner Rabs Hughey. A script and songs flowed forth and the show was ready for a first go. Special writing contributions came from Robert Michael Sanders, the show’s director, and Frank Harrison, and musical arrangement contribution from Donna Debrecini combined into a musical that is on its way. Sanders’ notes talk of the excitement and challenges of “creating something new. There’s no right, there’s no wrong. It’s the director’s job to find a way to best tell the story that the writers and composers intended …” The first presentation was confined to a single weekend. We will watch for news about what happens next with “Bookface.”

Planning, planting are keys to attracting birds Gardeners can do their part to create avian-friendly habitats By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Gardeners can provide important habitat for native birds,” says Anne Phelps of the long-running Littleton Garden Club. “In turn, birds offer us a richer and more beautiful place to live.” The club will hear a talk by Audubon Society Director Karl Brummert about creating a backyard habitat at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 4. Visitors and prospective members are welcome. Attracting birds to your yard requires four basic elements, Phelps says: • Food. Consider placing a wide variety of bird feeders and food around your back yard. Include different kinds of feeding stations: platform feeders for ground-feeding birds, such as juncos; hanging feeders for perching birds, such as chickadees and finches; suet feeders for insect-eating birds, such as flickers and downy woodpeckers.
SOME SUGGESTED PLANTS TO ATTRACT BIRDS
IF YOU GO
Hudson Gardens, 6115 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton, has its Songbird Garden in the south part of the acreage. When it was installed a few years ago, an initial plant list was released: sunset hyssop, red osier dogwood, hedge cotoneaster, upright prairie coneflower, blanket flower, Arnold’s red honeysuckle, tall Oregon grape, holly, Oregon grape holly, bee balm, common
evening primrose, beardlip penstemon, narrowleaf cottonwood, golden currant, little bluestem grass, Indian grass. Hudson Gardens has many nearby evergreens and other trees and shrubs already established, as well as water flowing through to the pond. (The Audubon Nature Center at the south end of Chatfield State Park also has gardens that attract birds and pollinators.)
The Garden Club of Littleton meets on the first Wednesday of each month, September to May, at 6 p.m. at the Littleton Public Schools Educational Services Center lunchroom, 5776 S. Crocker St., Littleton. (Enter from the south side.) Social time and refreshments are offered at 6 p.m., followed by a speaker at 6:30.
• Shelter and places to rear their young. Wild birds feel more secure if they have shelter to protect themselves from the elements and predators. Trees and large shrubs are welcome as places to raise and protect their young. Consider offering nesting boxes and nesting materials in the spring. • Water. Probably the single most important element to include in your backyard habitat is water. The sound of moving water is magnetic to most birds. If you add a heater in winter, available at
wild bird supply stores and some hardware stores, it will draw birds because you will provide fresh water in a season when bird baths otherwise freeze over. • Variety of foliage and habitat. The greater variety or diversity you create, the more birds you will attract. Offer plants and foliage that produce berries, seeds, fruits, nuts, sap and nectar for year-round food as well as providing nesting materials. Shrubs and trees should be dense enough to protect nests, while still allowing birds to move
freely among the branches to escape predators. “Of all the trees to select from, your best investment is an evergreen,” Phelps concludes. • Reporter’s note: An important point number five is DO NOT use pesticides. (Caterpillars provide a large percentage of spring and summer food for a bird such as the chickadee and its nestlings — the gardener can depend on this natural kind of pest control. This approach also protects the all-important pollinators such as bees and butterflies.)

CU – Boulder key partner innational Calendar of Events STEM center initiative To Noah Finkelstein it’s more of a movement. And it’s one that will go a long way to address the well-documented shortage of professionals in certain science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. The University of Colorado Boulder and University of Massachusetts Amherst are lead public campuses partnering with the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities to create a national network of about 200 campus STEM education centers. This project, funded by a $1.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation, will create a network that supports and incubates these centers, provides a critical resource for stakeholders to engage with universities around STEM education and allows for essential research on the nature of these centers and the processes of network formation. “We are now in a position to move beyond individual and isolated efforts and to leverage cross-institutional work,” said Finkelstein, CU-Boulder physics professor and network co-director. STEM education centers serve as campus-based resources for addressing the national call for improving science, technology, engineering and mathematics education at the undergraduate level. These centers serve as homes for interdisciplinary and cross-unit work, support transformation of educational practices, provide resources within and across disciplines and serve as a locus for educational research, evaluation and systematic transformation. In recent years, there has been significant growth in number and scale of these centers yet there is no established network or coordination.
The project will also examine the capacities and mechanisms of individual centers and identify how such a network forms and what it may accomplish. The five-year project will yield a new national resource that will impact individual centers and campuses and provide a new platform for systemic transformation of undergraduate STEM education.

FRIENDS FIRST Celebrates New Location Parents, students, and other community members celebrate past projects and future plans Greenwood Village just got a lot FRIENDLY…FRIENDS FIRST relocated to their new location at 7100 E. Belleview Ave. Suite 303. On Tuesday, October 20th members of the community and South Metro Denver Chamber welcomed the impactful nonprofit with a ribbon cutting and open house. The event included drinks, light hors d’oeuvres and door prizes. Staff shared their passion for working with students and the impact FRIENDS FIRST has had over the 22 years. Students shared how the organization has taught them compassion. One young teen spoke to the crowd stating “FRIENDS FIRST has boosted her self-confidence and she looks forward to seeing her friends.” “FRIENDS FIRST serves over 30 schools in the Denver metro area. We are happy to now occupy an office closer to the students and families we serve,” said Elycia Cook, Executive Director of FRIENDS FIRST. “We are also
excited to be surrounded by a community of businesses, with whom we hope to build partnerships for the future success of our teens. This Open House is not only a celebration and an opportunity to share about FRIENDS FIRST, but also a way for us to say thank you to our families, friends, and community of supporters.” FRIENDS FIRST is known as a community leader in peer mentoring, working to educate and inspire teens to avoid high-risk behaviors, develop a strong sense of selfawareness, and prevent negative social interactions like bullying. Community service projects are an integral part of FRIENDS FIRST’s STARS peer mentoring program because they help teens cultivate compassion, one of the core elements of bullying prevention. Following the celebration teens and staff finished preparing for Make Difference Day – October 24, 2015. Over 30 FRIENDS FIRST teens, parents, and
staff distributed blankets and hygiene kits to people experiencing homelessness in the areas surrounding 26th & California in Denver. FRIENDS FIRST decided to focus their community service in this neighborhood because it is undergoing an increase in people experiencing homelessness due to the area’s gentrification, rising rents, and the resulting displacement. Mission: FRIENDS FIRST educates and mentors teens to make positive life choices and develop healthy relationships.

It was a big improvement. The radio was backed up with Paul Anka and Frankie Avalon, and, please, Fabian. Neil Sedaka. Sedaka was awful. Tab Hunter had a hit record. Music needed a considerable laxative. Am I allowed to say that? Then things changed. They changed on Sunday, February 9, 1964, when ghoulish Ed Sullivan introduced the Beatles. It changed again when bands like Led Zeppelin, The Who, and the Yardbirds appeared. The Kinks were great. The lead singer, Ray Davies, married the lead singer of the Pretenders, Chrissie Hynde. Led Zeppelin truly had a tougher edge, and they went along neatly with the Rolling Stones, who were the bad boys when the Beatles were being sweet and cute. That changed too. By the time he died, Lennon had a reputation. One morning a few years ago, I sat on a bench at the Lennon tribute in Central Park. It’s called Strawberry Fields. I erased everything in my thoughts for a few minutes except the Beatles. I saw them in concert two months after Jennifer was born, in the same city. I cannot imagine that the music on the radio now will impact teenagers like “Please Please Me” affected me. It’s almost unexplainable. Everything was beginning to take its shape at that time. I had an identity for the first time. Music is on all the time here. When I am writing, I can go back and forth between KVOD and my playlists. I always have a soundtrack. Music has been a column theme many times. Please get used to it. During KVOD’s fund drive, I listen to my own music. I came home one day, and a song that I didn’t know I owned was playing. It was a street corner song by the Pastels. I first heard “Been So Long” on my brand new transistor radio. In 1957. It’s been so long.

DOUGLAS COUNTY
SCHOOLBOARD’s innovative reforms are
WORKING GRADUATION
rates are UP TEST scores
are UP
A new report by former Democratic State Senate President Peter Groff finds Doug Co’s reforms are working. Learn more about why school districts from around the country are looking to Douglas County at commonsensepolicyroundtable.com The data available shows that academic achievement is increasing: Accredited with Distinction. The state ranks districts and the highest rank is Accredited with Distinction. After the 2009-2010 school year, that accreditation was lost but in 2011-2012 DCSD regained that designation. DCSD is the largest school district in Colorado to have the highest ranking. In 2013 the aggregate achievement score was 72.4, now it is 80.6. In 2012 DCSD’s average ACT score was 21.4. Now it is 22.1. Students scoring over 22 is important because it increases their chance to qualify for many top tier schools. DCSD was also named to the AP Honor Roll in 2014. The district’s AP participation has sky rocketed. In the 2011-12 school year, 3724 students were participating in AP. In 2013-2014, DCSD had 4331. Graduation rates are up from 83.1% in 2010 to 88.9% in 2015.

Former engineer opens business ‘women love’ Centennial salon counts blow-dry bar among services
Glosshouz Aesthetic Bar will have the following services:
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com
• Refreshment bar with beverages and snacks
The glass storefront will be filled with crisp white décor and designer lighting. Heavenly smells will radiate throughout the rooms. “My strategy is to put everything in the business that women love,” said former engineer Loni Le Van-Etter, owner of Glosshouz Aesthetic Bar and Spa Retreat. And the strategy shows in her planning. The aesthetic bar will have nail technicians, hair stylists and an assortment of refreshments — smoothies, coffee or cocktails, if preferred. The spa retreat will have a serene waiting room and services from massage therapists to estheticians. Glosshouz, set to open this winter at 8171 S. Chester St., Centennial, near Park Meadows, will have it all — including a blow-dry bar. The first blow-dry bar was the California-based Drybar. It went from four chains in southern California in 2010 to more than 40 nationally in 2014, according to Forbes, and is now a multimilliondollar company. But even though it’s considered an affordable service for women who want their hair styled professionally, the trend hasn’t made much of a mark in south metro Denver. Tracie Tate, a Castle Pines resident, was unfamiliar with the blow-dry bar concept because she used to get her hair styled by her hair dresser. “I would go in for blowouts with my old hair stylist, but she moved away,” she said. “I’d like to check out this blow-dry bar when it opens.”
• Manicure and pedicure
• Blowout that includes a hair wash, blow dry and style Glosshouz Spa Retreat will have the following services: • Massage therapy • Hair salon • Facials and skincare • Waxing and airbrush tanning
A number of salons in the Centennial area offer a blow-dry service, but Glosshouz will be the first to provide it in a separated, aesthetic bar. Similarly, BlowDry Lounge Denver in downtown Denver has a blow-dry menu. “The trend is very popular among middleaged woman,” said Kyleigh Desteiguer, a receptionist. In her blow-dry bar, Van-Etter will use UNITE products, which have been featured in high-fashion magazines like Vogue and Elle. “I want to avoid the ‘nail polish’ smell in the aesthetic bar,” said Van-Etter. “These hair products smell fresh and style really well.” Van-Etter is familiar with the blowdry trend because of its popularity in her home state, Texas. She moved to Highlands Ranch a year ago. She hopes to provide a social experience with all things beauty. “The motto is ‘Your essence, our magic,’” said Van-Etter. “When you look good, you feel good.”

Wolves become the hunted This is a story about the hunter becoming the hunted. Westminster’s football team, which has been decent in recent years, is 8-0 this season and has a target on its collective back with other teams trying to knock off the Wolves. Jim Benton “It’s great for the school itself,” said OVERTIME Westminster coach Kerry Denison. “There’s a lot of positive energy going on here. It’s been a good experience. The kids understand we have a big target on our backs. The kids are understanding that it is a good feeling to have done what we have done so far.” It’s frustrating, but nobody seems to know where the eight straight victories rank in Westminster lore. One fan sent an email stating that the 1989 team, which was using the nickname Warriors, went 10-0 but lost their last two games. That was before Westminster and Ranum merged in 2009 and the new school building was built in 2010. So the 8-0 start is considered the best in school history, meaning the new school. “I haven’t been able to find anything either about the past,” said Denison. “We’re trying to keep our perfect record going. The one thing we have still missed out on is a conference championship, and our goal is a conference championship. We’ve had some decent teams, but these kids have jelled together better than the teams we’ve had in the past.” Westminster has clinched at least a tie for the Flatirons League championship and can secure the outright title with a win at home Oct. 30 against second-place Boulder.

Chaparral, Legend ousted from state tourney Wolverines drop semifinal game to Mountain Range, 4-2 By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Chaparral’s softball team adopted a theme this season, and there were many sweatshirts and T-shirts with “Believe” stenciled on them all around the Aurora Sports Park. However, the Wolverines’ dreams ended with a 4-2 semifinal loss to eventual state champion Mountain Range Oct. 25 in the Class 5A state playoffs. Chaparral, the top-seeded club among the final 16 teams, defeated Smoky Hill 8-1 in eight innings and blanked Ralston Valley 2-0 to enter the semifinals before losing to Mountain Vista and ending the season with a 20-4 record. “Twenty wins, that’s the best our program has ever had,” said Wolverines
coach Alan DiGiosio. “We didn’t hit as well. We didn’t make any mistakes. We competed. We were in there until the end. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out. I tip the cap to Mountain Range.” Senior pitcher Shannon Bass collected all 20 wins for the Wolverines and said the Wolverines’ season exceeded anticipations. “We went farther than most people expected,” she said. “Mountain Range had more intensity than we did. It took us too long to get our bats going.” Chaparral had their rally caps on in an 8-7, eight-inning win over Smoky Hill in a round-of-16 game on Oct. 24. The Wolverines tied the game at 3-3 with a run in the bottom of the seventh but surrendered four runs in the top of the eighth. Chaparall came back with five runs, capped when Emily Moore ripped a game-winning, two-out, three-run homer. “No matter what the score is we’re always going to play hard and never
give up,” said Moore. “I was just looking for my pitch. It was a 3-1 count. I just wanted to do it for my team.” Bass and Jordan Smith smacked solo homers in Chaparral’s 2-0 win over Ralston Valley, which moved the Wolverines into the semifinals. Bass allowed six hits in earning the shutout win. Legend, a 10th seed, didn’t advance past the first round. The Titans had the tying run at the plate in the top of the seventh inning, but fell 6-4 to Fossil Ridge in a Sweet 16 game on Oct. 24. Brooke Doumer and Zoey Lecompte had solo homers for the Titans, but it wasn’t enough as Legend ended its season with a 19-4 record. “I’m definitely happy with the record,” said Legend coach Kristen Shirk. “We just had good team chemistry. Our bats went a little cold against Fossil Ridge. We knew we had to put up some runs, but unfortunately we couldn’t the hits going at the right time.”
Local cross-country runners gain spots at state meet Staff report Mountain Vista will be seeking its fourth consecutive Class 5A boys team championship, and SkyView Academy senior Ben Butler will be out to defend his Class 3A individual title during the State High School Cross-County Championships. The meet is Oct. 31 at the Norris Penrose Events Center in Colorado Springs. In highlights from region meets held last week , Mountain Vista’s Paxton Smith won the Region 5 championship in 15:44, and the first six runners to cross the finish line were Golden
October 30, 2015
Eagles as Vista won the boys team championship. Rock Canyon was third and Chaparral fourth. Mountain Vista’s girls also won the Region 5 team title while Castle View’s Savanna Dalton was the individual winner in 18:19. Rock Canyon placed fifth in the team standings. Arapahoe’s Mason Brevig was the champion in the Region 1 meet, and the Warriors boys team claimed the team title. Brevig’s winning time was 16:44. Catherine Liggett of Legend won the girls race in 18:33.0 and Arapahoe was the third-place team. Kyle Moran of Cherry Creek finished ahead of Heritage’s Jeremy Romeo in
the Region 2 meet. Moran was timed in 16:59.6. Creek was crowned both the boys and girls regional champions, and Heritage’s girls placed third. Butler and the SkyView Academy boys dominated the Class 3A Region 3 meet. Butler won in 16:04.00. SkyView girls wound up fourth. The top five teams in each region qualified for the state meet along with all athletes who finished in the top 15. So that means Dalton, Liggett, Legend’s Scott Johnson and Landon Rast, and Garrett Beckstead of ThunderRidge qualified to compete as individuals at state.
Overcoming adversity Mountain Vista’s standout sophomore runner Allie Chipman has overcome adversity before and will have to do it again at the Oct. 31 State High School Cross-Country Championships in Colorado Springs. Chipman is struggling with allergies, and she has dealt with asthma her whole life. She was extremely sick with pneumonia and whooping cough last winter, which slowed her during last track season. After dominating this season in crosscountry, she skipped last week’s Region 5 meet because of foot problems. But she will compete at the state meet. “I will be competing at state because fortunately my team qualified for me,” said Chipman. “The issue with my feet is a bone spur and plantar fasciitis. I am improving rapidly, and I will be able to compete at 100 percent with my ankle at state. It’s impossible to know how I will feel in Colorado Springs, but I am going to give state my best shot.” Doubling up at Chaparral Alan DiGiosio will be the new head baseball coach at Chaparral next spring. After the Wolverines lost a semifinal Class 5A game at the State Softball Tournament, DiGiosio declared he would remain as softball coach. “I am not going anywhere,” he said. “I told them I wasn’t giving up softball, and if they didn’t let me do both that I wasn’t doing baseball.” DiGiosio just completed his fifth season as head softball coach, and he has been the Wolverines baseball pitching coach for the past nine campaigns. Final week of regular season There are several key football games to determine league championships as the Class 5A regular season ends. Grandview and Valor Christian are both unbeaten in the Centennial League and will clash for the loop title Oct. 30 in an 8 p.m. game at Valor. Westminster has clinched at least a tie for the 5A Flatirons crown but can capture the outright title with a win over Boulder Oct. 30 in a game at Westminster. Arapahoe plays Smoky Hill Oct. 30. The unbeaten Warriors, who have shown an amazing ability to pull out victories in a couple games that didn’t look winnable, are assured of a share of the 5A Metro League title but can avoid a tie with a win over the Buffs.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF OCT. 26, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might be growing impatient with a situation that seems to resist efforts to resolve it. But staying with it raises the odds that you’ll find a way to a successful resolution. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Travel and kinship are strong in the Bovine’s aspect this week. This would be a good time to combine the two and take a trip to see family members for a preholiday get-together. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A colleague could make a request you’re not comfortable with. If so, say so. Better to disappoint someone by sticking with your principles than disappoint yourself if you don’t. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Moon Child’s ability to adapt to life’s ebbs and flows helps you deal with the changes that you might confront at work or at home, or both. Things settle down by the week’s end. LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a good week for Leos and Leonas to get some long-outstanding business matters resolved. Then go ahead and plan a fun-filled family getaway weekend with the mate and the cubs. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A possible workplace change seems promising. If you decide to look into it, try not to form an opinion on just a small part of the picture: Wait for the full image to develop. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A newcomer helps keep things moving. There might be some bumpy moments along the way, but at least you’re heading in the right direction. You win praise for your choices. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You could be pleasantly surprised by how a decision about one thing opens up an unexpected new option. Also, assistance on a project could come from a surprising source. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) With more information to work with, you might now be able to start the process that could lead to a major change. Reserve the weekend for family and friends.
Super Crossword & Sudoku Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) This could be a good time to begin gathering information that will help you turn that long-held idea into something substantive. A personal matter might need extra attention. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) That new challenge might carry some surprises. But you should be able to handle them using what you already know. That new supporter should be there to lend assistance. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Someone might be trying to disguise his or her true motives. But the perceptive and perspicacious Pisces should have little or no problem finding the truth in all that foggy rhetoric. BORN THIS WEEK: You can always rely on your people skills to help you find solutions to problems others often give up on. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
