Voters reject parks-and-rec tax hike 70 percent of voters say no to ballot measure
By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Parker voters resoundingly rejected a sales tax increase to fund parks, recreation and open space in the town. Fewer than 30 percent of the 12,472 residents who voted favored the halfpercent sales tax increase. The increase would have paid for the expansion of Salisbury Park and O’Brien Park, and funded the purchase of open space and
other projects. Some residents opposed ballot issue 2A because the tax increase would put Parker’s sales tax rate at 8.5 percent permanently. Parker resident Lily Tang Williams, chairwoman of Colorado’s Libertarian Party who voted against the measure, said she was pleasantly surprised to see an “overwhelming majority” of Parker voters — 70.57 percent — decided not to increase taxes. “I guess the word got out,” Williams said. The ballot question asked voters if the
town’s debt should be increased by up to $39.9 million, with a maximum repayment cost not to exceed $66.9 million including interest. The money collected through the issuance of bonds would have made the projects happen immediately instead of in phases over the next decade or two. Supporters have said more park space is badly needed to accommodate recreational needs of the growing number of residents. When reached after the second round of returns was released Tuesday night, Mayor Mike Waid said the results were “a success because the citizens had their voices heard.”

“Council did what it was supposed to do: it allowed people to vote on whether to allow this or not,” Waid said. The only change is the timeline for the projects, Waid said, and none of the plans will be eliminated. However, the mayor cautioned that it’s difficult to say whether future town councils will see the projects through. With the federal deficit climbing, Williams characterized the result as a “small local victory.” “We should pay for the things we need when we have the money. There is no need to break the bank,” Williams said. “It’s not a good thing to teach our children about financial responsibility.”

Challengers sweep the slate Lemieux, Vogel and Ray win nearly 60 percent of the vote By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com A crowd of supporters gathered on Election Night at the Southern Hospitality barbecue restaurant in Lone Tree to cheer on the incumbent candidates for Douglas County School Board as results came in. The night didn’t go as they expected. Anne-Marie Lemieux, Wendy Vogel and David Ray — candidates who oppose the school district’s reform policies of the past several years — ousted incumbents Kevin Larsen, Craig Richardson and Richard Robbins. Each challenger won with at least 58 percent of the more than 82,000 votes counted by the end of Nov. 3. “The voters of Douglas County have spoken,” said Larsen, the school board president. “They clearly touched on a nerve that people responded to.” In District C, Lemieux, a former teacher, took 58.3 percent of the vote in her race against Larsen. “We are happy for our community. We’re happy for our schools,” Lemieux
A man who led police on a chase that extended from Longmont to Lone Tree has been sentenced to 160 years in prison. “You held this community hostage for 90 minutes that day,” said Douglas County District Court Judge Paul King when sentencing Ryan Stone on Oct. 30. Stone, 30, drove more than 100 mph along Interstate 25, veered into oncoming traffic and ultimately struck a Colorado State Patrol trooper who was attempting to lay down a spike strip. The impact shattered the bones in Trooper BellaStone mann Hee’s lower leg and foot. Stone won’t be eligible for parole for approximately 75 years. He sobbed as family members and friends pleaded for leniency, saying his issues with drugs are what led to the chase. They asked that Stone have the chance to rehabilitate and contribute to society. King pointed out that Stone has a lengthy rap sheet, with 19 felony convictions in Colorado. He repeatedly violated his probation and the conditions of his parole in other felony cases. “The opportunity has knocked and has gone unanswered,” said senior deputy district attorney Jason Siers. Defense attorney Anneliese Garlin Stone continues on Page 7

This is a very good day for Douglas County.” In District F, Ray, a former DCSD principal, won 59 percent of the vote

... My Name Is
MARGO ORVIK Recent transplant, avid hiker About me My name is Margo Orvik. My husband, Doug, and I grew up in small towns in Minnesota. We have one daughter who is 4 and one dog who is a sheltie/cavalier King Charles spaniel mix. After graduating from college, I decided to apply to various AmeriCorps programs. AmeriCorps is a network of local, state and national service programs — essentially a domestic Peace Corps program. Although I had never been to Colorado, I accepted a position in Sheridan and fell in love with Colorado immediately. Discovering Parker My family and I moved to Parker last summer and we have enjoyed discovering all of the wonderful things that Parker has to offer. We love how community-oriented and family-friendly it is here. I am a registered nurse at the University of Colorado hospital and my husband is a golf instructor at the Family Sports Center in Centennial. Our daughter attends an amazing in-home preschool twice a week. Gal about town I love being outdoors and hiking. Herman Gulch Trail has always been a favorite. I also like to lift weights, swim, try out new restaurants in the Denver metro area with my friends and play board games with my family. I am fortunate to have one sister who lives here so we enjoy getting the cousins together whenever we can. I like to be busy and I am not good at relaxing, but when I do
Margo Orvik and her family moved to Parker last summer. Courtesy photo need downtime I tend to read or I like to go for walks. Making the most of summer Although the summer is quite hectic for Doug since he is in the golf industry, my daughter and I were able to swim often, hike, and go to the zoo and other attractions. I also watched my nephews three days a week so that kept us busy. At the start of the summer, my mom and two other sisters along with their families came out for an extended visit. It was the first time getting all eight of the grandchildren together so that was quite memorable. When it’s time for vacations, we love to go visit our families in Minnesota, Wyoming and Kentucky, but we are hoping to spend more time exploring Colorado. Ouray will be next on the list.

I do, too. But I also believe our world, this country that prides itself on liberty, happiness — and life — for all, needs to face this issue squarely, without partisanship or division, to model a course of action that focuses on one objective we can all agree on: Our children should be safe from this kind of potentially fatal violence when they are in school. But that isn’t the case. The FBI found that education environments were the second-largest location category for active shooters from 2000 to 2013, as reported in a June story in The Washington Post. Between Oct. 1 and Oct. 9, the day Colin Brough died at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, five shootings occurred on college and high school campuses, according to Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit that tracks school shootings since the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy in December 2012. From Oct. 11 to Oct. 15, guns were fired on another three high school and university campuses, although, thankfully, no one was injured. A common thread running through more than one-third of the shooting incidents in schools shows they occurred after a confrontation or verbal argument intensified, Everytown reports. It’s difficult to know exactly what caused those shooters to explode or how the country’s policies could have helped or might have hindered those situations because politics, over the years, has blocked any significant body of research into gun violence, according to a recent Associated Press article that researched the issue. But Carolyn Mears, whose son spent three hours trapped in a 5-by-7 closet in

In January 2013, two young men bumped into each other in a doorway at a Houston college, sparking a confrontation that ended when one fired at least 10 shots, wounding two students Ann Macari and a maintenance worker. Healey A year later, at a Tennessee high school, two boys — 16 and 17 years old — got into a fight over a girl. One shot the other in the thigh. On Oct. 9 of this year, an 18-year-old student at an Arizona mountain university reportedly pulled a gun following an altercation, wounding three students and killing another, a Castle Rock resident who had graduated from high school in 2013. There is no doubt mental illness plays a significant role in the school and mass shootings that occur on a muchtoo-frequent basis in our country. But it also seems, more and more often, gun violence is replacing the art of resolving conflict through discourse, an observation obscured by the politics of gun control that has derailed any movement toward solutions to this devastating problem. My son looks at it this way: “Kids need to learn how to manage and channel their hatred and anger . . . when they feel they are about to break. We need to teach those kids that violence isn’t the answer to your problems.” My son is an 18-year-old college freshman who, at times — when another shooting occurs — thinks about the possibility it could happen to him, but who overall feels “mostly safe because I feel like there is still more good than evil in the world.”

Teen’s therapy inspires volunteer work Tyler Stewart, 15, earns award from Promise Ranch Staff Report Most teenage boys like to sleep late on Saturdays. Tyler Stewart, a 15-year-old sophomore at Ponderosa High School, wakes up and usually leaves his bed by 6:30 a.m. to begin his 9-mile bike ride to Promise Ranch, a therapeutic equestrian center in Franktown. The ride usually takes him just under an hour and then he begins his day at the ranch. Mucking out stables, feeding and watering the chickens, weeding, and leading horses are only a few of the jobs he spends about eight hours doing each Saturday. Then, when he is tired, hungry, and sore from a hard day’s work, he gets back on his bike and rides the 9 miles back home, this time up a hill. How much does he get paid an hour? Zero.
Tyler Stewart poses with his volunteer award. Courtesy photo Stewart received the prestigious Volunteer of the Year award from Prom-
ise Ranch in September. He has logged more than 300 volunteer hours so far this year. He has witnessed communication breakthroughs by special needs clients, which makes everything worthwhile. Stewart also has been kicked and stepped on by horses, and luckily avoided several rattlesnakes. It is purely a labor of love for him, one that is molding his future career and life choices. He has such respect for the physical and occupational therapists he works with at the ranch and can see the difference they are making in the lives they touch. He also wants to touch lives. Stewart had first-hand experience himself with physical and occupational therapists when he was only 6 years old. Two weeks shy of his sixth birthday, he was complaining of migraine headaches. To get a prescription for the pain, the doctors ordered an MRI. Stewart was then diagnosed with a brain tumor the size of a golf ball.
Two days before his birthday, he underwent a four-hour surgery to remove the brain tumor. The successful operation left him unable to walk or talk for a few days — that was when he met his first group of physical and occupational therapists. They reminded him how to walk and talk again by playing games with him in the hospital. These are the only memories he has of his week-long stay in the hospital. Stewart made a full recovery from his tumor but to say its impact has shaped his future is an understatement. Once he discovered Promise Ranch, he found his place in the world. He is excited to continue his work there and be a part of the hard work. For his upcoming 16th birthday, Stewart was asked what he wanted for a present. Again, an answer not typical for a teenage boy came out of his mouth. “The ranch really needs new rakes,” he said. “Can I get a rake for my birthday?”
Douglas County School Choice Fair set for Nov. 12 By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School District will host its second annual Choice Fair Nov. 12. The event is 6 to 8 p.m. at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock. “Every school in the district will be represented on that night,” said Tom McMillen, director of student and parent choice.
“Parents can visit with different school principals, teachers and learn about all of the different offering the district has. It’s really like an open house. Each school in the district as well as several other representatives from the district will have a table, a couple of chairs and information about their school or program. People can just walk in and browse and talk to everyone they’re interested in talking to.” The type of school options that will be represented include: elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, charter schools, online schools, and alternative
school and home-schooling options. There will also be teachers and district officials at the fair to talk to parents about special education for students in need. Last year, the fair was split into three separated evenings and different locations. This year’s event was consolidated into a single evening at the request of parents, McMillen said. “The parents just loved it,” he said. “They loved to have the opportunity to come in and put a face to a name.” Open enrollment for the district began Nov.1 and goes until Jan. 5. District of-
ficials will be on hand the evening of the fair to walk parents through the open enrollment process. Also new this year is an online tool to help parents understand how to enroll at the school of their choice called EngagED Parents. The tool is on the district website, dcsdk12.org. “It’s a timely opportunity for parents to shop around a little bit,” McMillen said. “(Open enrollment) is not first come first serve, so parents have almost two months to learn about the different schools.”

This Oeskeso effigy of a dog was found during the construction of Rueter-Hess Reservoir. It was nominated by the Douglas County History Repository to be named Colorado’s most significant artifact in 2015. Courtesy photo
Artifact could be most significant of 2015 Dog effigy found during reservoir construction By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com It could be a pendant or an amulet or a child’s toy. No one really knows for sure. What is known is that it was handcrafted by a hunter-gatherer living around 5,000 years ago in what is now Douglas County, and many agree that the clay figurine depicts a dog. The Oeškeso zoomorphic effigy found during the construction of Rueter-Hess Reservoir is among the historic items being considered for the title of Colorado Most Significant Artifact of 2015. The effigy was deeply buried and relatively wellpreserved when Centennial Archaeology uncovered it in 2005 among a village of pit-dwellings at the reservoir site in Newlin Gulch, just southwest of Parker. “An effigy in itself is very unique. There are no plains effigies — definitely not from Douglas County or the greater plains region of Colorado,” said Mary Ann Gabriel, a volunteer who nominated the canine-like object on behalf of the Douglas County History Repository. The annual search for the state’s most significant artifact was launched three years ago by Colorado Collections Connection at the Center for Colorado and the West at Auraria Library, in part to draw interest and funding to help preserve them for future generations. A panel of history professors, archivists and other experts narrows the entries to the top 15 or 20, and the public then votes on the winner. Artifacts are nominated by museums, libraries, archive-keepers, and cultural heritage institutions, and cannot come from a private collection. The panel ensures that the artifacts originated in Colorado, said Dana Echohawk, program director for Colorado Collections Connec-

The “saucer-shaped depressions,” which are roughly 3 to 3.5 meters in diameter, were dug by the tribes and covered by a crude brush structure made of sticks and other natural materials. “These people were mainly hunter-gatherers so they didn’t stay in one place,” Zier said. “But that doesn’t mean they didn’t live without shelter.” Although the artifacts have not been carbon-dated, Zier said the excavation team has found spear points that were used in the Middle Archaic Period roughly 3,000 to 5,000 years ago. One site has been excavated and crews recently started work on a second one. The team will comb a total of four sites, some of which are near an area planned for a water treatment plant. Fire pits, stone tools and debitage, the flakes and chips from stone tool production, have already been found in the prehistoric sites. “We’re digging trenches and seeing things in profile. There is not a lot on the surface, but there is stuff below,” Zier said. tion. Although there is debate over what the effigy depicts — some say it could be a deer, rabbit or antelope — the prevailing

thought is that it shows man’s best friend. Catherine Traffis, a member of the Parker Area Historical Society, said she feels a special connection to the effigy because it reflects how long dogs have been stalwart companions of people living in the area. She posted a message about the effigy to the historical society’s Facebook page so “people from Parker could get behind voting for one of their own artifacts,” particularly because such finds are rarely made in Parker. Effigies had great importance to those who made them. “The idea is that when you create these objects and possess them, the possessor can perhaps take on some of the qualities of the animal represented,” Traffis said, adding the creators are ancestors of familiar local Native American tribes like the Cheyenne, Ute and Arapaho. Artifacts like this often go overlooked, Gabriel says, because residential and commercial developers are not required to report the existence of archaeological objects. But because the reservoir was federally approved, the Parker Water and Sanitation District was bound by stricter conditions for archaeological mitigation. Aside from larger discoveries, like the
mammoth skeleton found when Stonegate was being built in the late 1990s, many artifacts are “pulverized” by large construction machinery, said Gabriel, who called them a “fast-disappearing resource.” “We’re losing a lot of our history and prehistory as a result,” she said. The Oeškeso zoomorphic effigy is kept in a climate-controlled environment at the Douglas County History Repository in Castle Rock and wrapped in a cushioning acid-free material. The fact that it was “so clearly crafted by a person” makes it especially interesting to local historians, Gabriel said. “Every time I’m out working on a survey and find something, I always wonder, ‘Who created this? Who last touched it? How did it end up here? How did they lose it?’” she said. Gabriel has been informing the public about the discovery and urging them to vote at www.collectioncare.auraria.edu. With funding for historic preservation drying up, there is a dire need to steer attention toward significant pieces of history. “People don’t care about what they don’t know about,” Gabriel said.

Grants go to local arts agencies Community Association. It produces events and collaborates with other organizations for events with a primary purpose of providing enlightenment and entertainment to the residents of Highlands Ranch. “The grant is obviously very important to our organization because it gives us the ability to put on about 40 different community programs a year,” said Jamie Noebel, director of community relations and events. “It gives us the ability to do some really neat, fun programs that are educational for the community.” Some of those programs include the annual Oktoberfest, the summer concert series, Denver Pops and the winter cultural series. “We think they compete with programs that are going on downtown,” Noebel said, adding that the events are affordable and close to home. “I think there are so many opportunities right here in our back yard that are available. People need to plug into their community.”

Police release sketch Stone of exposure suspect Continued from Page 1
Man seen before in area of apartment complex Staff report The Parker Police Department released a sketch of a suspect in an indecent exposure case from early September. On the evening of Sept. 4, in the area of Carlson Drive and Jordan Road, a female was near her apartment when the suspect exposed himself to her. According to the victim, the suspect had blond hair, was wearing green khaki or cargo style shorts or pants and wore a gray shirt with an unknown logo on the front. He was between 18 and 25 years old, and was between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall. “This type of shocking behavior is not acceptable in the Town of Parker, and our investigators have been work-
ing the case since it occurred. After exhausting all leads, we are asking for the public and media’s help in locating this individual,” the police said in a press release. Police The suspect had sketch of been spotted around suspect the complex for a month prior to the incident, although the victim does not believe the suspect lives in the complex. If anyone knows who the man is, or has seen him around, they are urged to call Parker Police Detective Shannon Brukbacher, 303-805-6523. The sketch was shared with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Castle Rock Police Department and the Lone Tree Police Department in an attempt to locate the individual shortly after the incident occurred.
asked King to order the sentences to run concurrently, which would have given Stone a chance for freedom one day. But the judge decided on consecutive terms for some of the 20 counts for which Stone was convicted during the summer. Stone faced mandatory prison time because of his criminal record. Stone has a history of methamphetamine use and, when addressing the court, blamed many of his legal problems on substance abuse. He said he cannot remember the chase and was shocked when he saw video shot from a news helicopter after his arrest. A toddler was in the back seat of the first vehicle Stone stole in March 2014. Police gave chase and Stone ditched the vehicle and carjacked another. He sped down I-25,
causing multiple accidents, and drove in a manner that “endangered the lives of countless people,” King said. King called the 160-year sentence “just and fair.” Stone was convicted of attempted manslaughter, first-degree assault, two counts of robbery and motor vehicle theft among other charges. George Brauchler, district attorney, said it was a victory for the public to have Stone off the streets. Hee dived out of the way as Stone drove 90 mph down E-470. While addressing reporters after the sentencing hearing at the Douglas County Justice Center in Castle Rock, the trooper said he is lucky to be alive. Hee is eager to get back to full active duty about a month from now and said he does not have animosity when reflecting on the incident. “I’m at peace with it,” Hee said after the sentencing. Hee underwent seven surgeries and has spent more than 600 hours rehabilitating.
Stone addressed the court and apologized for his actions, but said he is “not the person the media would have you believe I am.” Stone also tried to explain audio recordings played during the sentencing hearing in which he can be heard bragging about his international notoriety after the chase and mocking one of the carjacking victims. Stone showed emotion when speaking about the support he has received from his wife and family. Elizabeth Stone called her son “sensitive” and “generous” and said his actions were the direct result of his drug use. “Things got desperately out of control and he didn’t know how to stop,” she told the judge. But King had some pointed final words for Stone while handing down the 160-year sentence in the Colorado Department of Corrections. “I’ve heard people say it’s not who you are,” King said. “It is who you are.”
Cops: Landscaper may have more victims Police looking for others possibly swindled by Jeremiah Lopez Staff report Last week, the Parker Police Department arrested Jeremiah Lopez of Jeremiah Lopez Landscaping and charged him with forgery, identity theft, criminal impersonation and theft. Lopez was released from jail on
$20,000 bond. The charges allege that Lopez took cash for the work up-front and never did the contracted work. Craigslist is one of the ways Lopez is known Lopez to have made contact with his victims. He is known to have used John Manzanares as an alias and also used different names for his company, including Yankee Landscaping.
His activity is believed to be throughout the metro area, not just in Parker. “Through our investigation, we have learned that there may be additional victims,” the police department said. Anyone who believes they have been a victim of Jeremiah Lopez should contact Detective Penny McLean at 303-805-6560. For more information, contact Sgt. Andy Coleman at 303-805-6512.

Groups renew state’s brew brouhaha Sales in grocery stores debated
By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com While supermarket chains and even some breweries across Colorado are hopped up about the idea of allowing all grocery stores to sell full-strength alcoholic beverages, some neighborhood liquor stores have a case of sour grapes about the whole thing. Forty-two states allow full-strength liquor sales at all grocery stores. But because liquor store owners may only operate one location under Colorado law, each grocery chain has to choose just one store. Safeway, for instance, chose the Littleton location at Mineral Avenue and Broadway, where a security guard stands watch over a large liquor department at the rear of the building. Other locations, as well as convenience stores, are restricted to selling 3.2 percent alcohol products, like beer and wine coolers. So for now, liquor stores have the upper hand when it comes to selling the hard stuff. There are around 1,600 of them in Colorado, employing somewhere around 15,000 people. The topic comes up now and again in Colorado, with the last time being in 2007, when the ban on Sunday sales was lifted. This time, the effort has enlisted the help of two people with south metroarea name recognition — John Brackney, former Arapahoe County commissioner and former president of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, and former Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson. The two helped kick off the “Your Choice Colorado” campaign on Oct. 21 in front of the liquor display at the Glendale King Soopers. “Your Choice Colorado aims to reform Colorado’s Prohibition-era alcohol laws via legislation or a ballot initiative in 2016 to provide consumers with the option to purchase real beer and wine
Bill Barnes, left, and Josh Engelhardt keep things moving at the busy Woodlawn Liquor store. The store’s owner, Mark Mack, worries it won’t be so busy if a proposal to allow liquor sales in all grocery stores passes. Photo by Jennifer Smith in their neighborhood supermarkets,” reads a news release. What opponents say Not everyone loves the idea — small, independent liquor stores, for example. Dozens have signed on to “Keep Colorado Local,” along with a number of breweries, distilleries and wineries. “Out-of-state corporations are interested in changing the way we do business in Colorado by allowing all chain grocers and convenience stores to sell alcohol,” reads the website. “Their goal is to boost profits. What they won’t tell you is that the effort will send money out

of our communities, force hundreds of small businesses to close, curtail Colorado’s thriving craft industries, undermine safety and give underage kids more access to alcohol.” Littleton’s 38 State Brewery, the city’s first, is at the top of the list of the movement’s supporters. Open for two years, it just expanded from a single-barrel capacity to seven, and the owners and staff worry that it might get its legs knocked out from under it while it’s just learning to walk. “If convenience is the No. 1 consideration, well, is it convenient to put all our liquor stores out of business?” said Steve Schuett, manager. “In our case specifically, it will hurt our distribution. We’re in our infancy. Now we just go to the stores, drink our beer with them, shake hands and get our beer on their shelves within a week. I don’t have a distribution company fighting for me. If we can’t charm them in that way … selling a product via email is not really what sharing a beer is all about. … It’s just not the Colorado spirit. It’s not the craft brew way.” Schuett notes that Anheuser Busch recently bought MillerCoors, pending final approval by regulators, and will have 30 percent of the global market. “We’re fighting monopolies like you can’t believe,” he said. “If the monopoly gets ahold of the big chain stores, how big is that fight going to be?” Mark Mack, owner of the busy neighborhood Woodlawn Liquors in Littleton, also worries for his future. “We have several hundred liquor stores in the Denver-metro area right now,” he said. “Probably in the first year, there will only be about 100 left. We can’t compete. Think of all the jobs that will be lost, and not just at the liquor stores, but at the beer companies, the wine companies. The small, wholesale distributors will vanish. Selection will vanish. Customer service will be gone.” Jesse Vance owns Advance Liquors in the shopping center just south of the Safeway that carries full-strength alcohol. It is anchored by a King Soopers, so he predicts a struggle should the law change. If it does, he’d like it to include a provision for the chain to buy out his license. “The way it is now for the independent stores, we’re not allowed to collaborate with each other to increase our buying power,” he said. A big part of his business is selling beer from breweries like 38 State. “But wait until they try to get it into a corporation,” he said. “I try to support the small guys as much as possible, because I’m a small guy. … I’ve got my life savings into this place.” What supporters say St. Patrick’s Brewing Co. in Littleton is one of the exceptions among breweries. “We’re for it,” said co-owner Dave
Barron. “We think it gives us more opportunities to distribute our beer, and it gives us bigger outlets. … (Other breweries) think the grocery stores are going to bring in more imported beer. But we’re the Napa Valley of beer, so I don’t think that’s going to happen. … We do more sales on site now, but we’re cultivating and working on our wholesale in order for us to grow our business the way we want.” The grocery chains themselves say that want to keep a focus on local products. “We see ourselves as Colorado’s neighborhood markets and take great pride in highlighting locally sourced products and entrepreneurs,” said Kelli McGannon, public affairs director for King Soopers, during the Glendale event. “We want to support Colorado’s booming beer scene and blossoming wineries, and provide these great products to our customers, who are clamoring to buy them.” McGannon was joined by Russ Novotny, Safeway’s regional liquor sales manager, and Michael Cooke, former Douglas County Commissioner and executive director of the Colorado Department of Revenue and the Colorado Department of Regulatory Affairs, along with Brackney and Robinson. Brackney notes that even though Colorado is home to the third-largest number of breweries per capita in the country, it’s one of only eight states where people can’t buy their beers in the grocery store. “We’ve seen the rise of consumerdriven conveniences like ride-sharing and online retail, healthcare and banking, yet we still have to travel to two different stores just to complete a dinner,” said Brackney. “These outdated laws prevent our thriving craft breweries from entering grocery store shelves and prevent consumers from having the choice, convenience and competition that would benefit their family budget and tightly packed schedules.” As to the allegation that kids would have more access to alcohol at grocery stores, Robinson noted it’s already being done. “Grocery stores are great partners in the community and will be a safe place to sell beer and wine,” he said. “When I was sheriff, there were numerous grocery stores that chose to place their one location with a liquor license in areas under my jurisdiction, and they never gave me any problems.” Luke Ouellette is the manager at Davidson Liquors, itself the size of a grocery store. He says he’ll reserve judgment on any legislation until he sees exactly what it says. The store has been in Highlands Ranch since 1998 and survived the 2007 changes, when one grocery store in each chain began selling hard liquor. “We maybe saw a slight decrease in business, but not dramatic,” said Oullette.

TONY LANE: 1942-2015
A final farewell to the chief By Chris Rotar crotar@colorado communitymedia.com
Fishing bonded the lawman and his family. The summers were made for it. It could be tough to keep pace with Tony Lane, though, when it came to reeling them in. Lane’s oldest son, Joe, remembers joking with the family about that after a recent trip to Eleven Mile Reservoir. “He was catching all the fish and we were netting them,” he said. Tony Lane had long been battling cancer, but this past summer, he was “like the normal dad,” the son said. Catching fish, taking photographs, spending time with his wife of 50 years, Lynne, and their six children and 10 grandchildren — that’s largely how the former police chief of Castle Rock enjoyed retirement before his death Oct. 28. He was 73. “He was an incredible father,” Joe Lane said. “He was a best friend to all of his kids.” t Lane served more than 45 years — the final 24 as Castle Rock’s police chief — in law enforcement. He retired in 2011. “One of the things I like to say gis he helped people out and kept rpeople out of trouble way more ethan he did enforce the law,” Joe Lane said. y -The lawman John Anderson, a commander -with the Castle Rock Police Departnment, was on the force when Lane s g e g d ” s r , r o o g

Former Castle Rock Police Chief Tony Lane, who retired in 2011 after 45 years in law enforcement, died Oct. 28 at the age of 73. File photo arrived. He would be named captain under Lane, serving as second in command. “I learned so much from Tony,” Anderson said. “Tony was not only my chief and mentor, he was a very close and dear friend.” Lane’s path to Castle Rock started in Lakewood as a patrol officer in the mid-1960s. Lane was born in Brooklyn, New York, but grew up in Kansas. In the early 1970s, he returned to Kansas, and he landed his first job as a chief there, in Great Bend, in 1979. In the early 1980s, he came back to Colorado to become chief in Rangely, a small town in the northwestern part of the state. Lane saw opportunity in Castle Rock and took over as the town’s chief in 1987, when it was home to fewer than 10,000 residents. By the time he retired, the town’s population was pushing 50,000 — it has since climbed to closer to 60,000 — and development was
ramping up. The number of officers more than tripled as Lane worked to ensure that public-safety efforts kept pace. “It was satisfying to be part of Castle Rock’s growth,” Lane told the News-Press in an article published just days before his retirement. Under Lane’s watch, the police department developed dispatch, a victim-assistance team, traffic officers, K9 units and community programs, according to the town. “He provided the Castle Rock Police Department with strength and wisdom as the department matured and grew,” said Castle Rock Police Chief Jack Cauley, Lane’s successor. Of family and fish Lane had a passion for wildlife and photography, merging the two in work featured in various publications. He wrote an occasional outdoors column, accompanied by his photography, for the News-Press.

In July, he wrote of how his love for fishing began. “It was my grandfather who planted the seed. Ever since I was old enough to remember, he made sure I had a fishing pole in one hand and some fresh bait in the other. “I learned much from the big man with the mustache and weathered face: how to tie a knot, bait a hook or cast a lure into the hidden depths. “When my own children came along, it seemed only natural to share this love of nature with them.” Joe Lane remembers bonding with his father and his siblings over fishing. He also recalls that he and his brothers could be “rambunctious kids” who tested their father’s patience. But Tony Lane was tolerant, the son said, and the kids learned a lot during the fishing excursions. “He was always someone you could go to with anything,” Joe Lane said. “He was extremely wise.” As for being the child of a police chief? “We were so proud of him,” Joe Lane said. “All of us kids wanted to have him in the foreground.” In retirement, Tony Lane would cast a wide net when it came to spending time with family. “Now it is my grandchildren who are honing their casting skills,” he wrote in July. “Any small pond or stream will do and any fish caught is a real trophy. They are always eager to try their luck, yet still not quite certain what to do when a fish pulls. Video games can wait. “It’s time to go fishing, Papa.”

Exercising goodwill keeps heart in shape So often in our quest to be the best, or in our race to keep up or come in first, we miss the opportunities to demonstrate goodwill to those around us. I mean sometimes we really miss the mark completely. As an example we can watch the news or read about the events where road rage and anger leads to violence. We can see people pushing and shoving in line just to get through the checkout lane quicker. And how about when we are waiting at the deli counter in the supermarket and they are not using the number system, instead just relying on the customers to let them know who is next in line. Now in most cases and with most people I believe that goodwill and love and kindness are in their hearts and minds. And yet even those of us who live with the spirit of goodwill, love and kindness can sometimes succumb to the pressures and stresses of life, as we are all human. For me, I focus on changing the word “goodwill” to “God’s will.” I make it a conscious choice to think about my day, a business trip or an event and consider the people or situations that may arise that could cause problems or stress. And as I think about that and think of finding the good in all of it, I also gain a calm confidence and strength knowing I am thinking of “goodwill” as “God’s will.”
The important message I want to underscore here is looking for the good in goodwill. Zig Ziglar used to say, “There are some people who go around looking for the ‘bad’ as if there were some kind of reward for it.” And he was right, if we look for the bad, we will Michael Norton certainly find it. And WINNING the same can be said of looking for the good, if WORDS we look for it, we will find it. What if we all had the opportunity to demonstrate and display goodwill to each other? Not just our friends and family, but everyone we come into contact with, what if we extended goodwill to everyone? How much less stress would we have in our own lives? How much better would we feel at the end of each day? Imagine you are driving and someone is swerving in and out of the lanes, driving dangerously, maybe even coming up on your bumper in attempt to encourage you to get out of the way. What if instead of getting angry, nervous or stressed out, you just let them pass. I promise they won’t give you an-
other thought all day. And if you allow them to pass, you probably won’t give them another thought all day either. They could just be and probably are just driving recklessly, or they could be trying to get to the hospital. Look for the good and extend goodwill. If you aren’t in a rush and someone needs to get in line in front of you, grant them the space and the grace and take the pressure off of yourself as you know that the extra five minutes won’t disrupt the incredibly awesome day that you are having and will continue to have. Look for the good and we will find the good, the goodness and the goodwill. Seek to give goodness and goodwill, and we will experience the good. There is someone who needs our good, goodness and goodwill. Maybe it’s an ear to listen, maybe it’s a hug that needs to be given, maybe it’s a hand up, or perhaps it’s just a little patience and understanding. What will your goodwill moment be today? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we find the good in our goodwill, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Trouble seems big, but world is bigger The world’s population is 7 billion. I had no idea When I found out, it changed the way I look at things. There’s a major story every day. It’s just like Top 40 radio in the 1950s and 1960s. A story will chart for a few days or a few weeks, and then disappear, and be replaced by something else. When was the last time you thought about Scott Peterson? Or Casey Anthony? Or Jodi Arias? How about Jared Lee Loughner? Who? Susan Smith? There are so many of us that it explains why there can be millions of racists. But billions of us are not racists. It explains why there is an audience for junk like “The Price is Right.” Millions of people have seen it. But billions have never seen it or won’t watch it. Top 40 stories get our attention, and they dominate the news because good news, generally, doesn’t sell papers. When you have 7 billion people, you are

Billions of us Craig Marshall Smith aren’t in any of those audiences. QUIET hundred DESPERATION andOne fourteen million people watched the last Super Bowl. That may seem like a lot, but it’s less than 2 percent of the world’s population. There might be millions of gang members worldwide. But there are millions of teenagers who aren’t in gangs. You just don’t hear about them very often. They don’t make the Top 40, unless they are

There are 5.8 billion of us who belong to other denominations, or nothing at all. There’s a gun for every American, but millions of us don’t own guns. The Broncos aren’t the center of the universe.

Senior Reach is link to range of services Senior Reach is a new program in Arapahoe and Douglas counties for seniors age 60 and older who live independently and who wish to keep doing so. It is designed as a single point of entry for seniors needing assistance who may not be sure what exactly they need. Senior Reach is a three-part, evidencebased program with 92 percent of seniors who engage receiving the help they were seeking. The main service provided to seniors is therapy through Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network. What makes this program unique is that the counseling is provided in the seniors’ homes or wherever they are most comfortable. “We know many seniors fear the stigma of mental health help and we want to make this as easy as we can for them,” said Maria Pearson, Senior Reach program manager. “They don’t have to come to one of our many locations, worry about running into someone they know or who might see them there. We can chat in their home.” Senior Reach is designed to help with short-term issues such as depression,

the cafeteria of Columbine High School with more than 15 other students, says this: “Anger is always the second emotion. I have found anger follows fear.” Mears — her son survived the nation’s first mass school shooting — is the author of award-winning research of the aftermath of the Columbine shootings and other tragedies and consults internationally in communities recovering from trauma. Fear, she says, comes in many forms. Fear of losing status. Fear of being taken advantage of. Fear of not being heard. Fear of not getting your own way. Fear of . . . fill in the blank — aren’t we all afraid of something? An Oct. 30 article titled “How Does Someone Become A School Shooter?” in The National Journal, a publication that covers emerging political and policy issues, suggests these trends also contribute: • Social media’s tentacular reach, which allows anyone to find someone who thinks similarly from the privacy and secrecy of a computer. • An increase in narcissism, which has fueled a desire to be famous and makes rejection hard to take after a childhood of well-meaning but, many times, undeserved praise. • Easy accessibility to guns. Consider this: Countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan and Canada have extremely low gun casualty

I get upset about things because I shrink the planet. There are days when I think there is more evil in the world than good. But the trick is to remember that there are a lot of us.

anxiety or grief. Treatment usually lasts from six to 10 appointments. “We have many issues our folks are working on right now,” Pearson said. “One senior recently lost his beloved dog. As his dog was his main companion and emotional support, he was surprised at how much he was affected and reached out to us
for help.” The second part of the program is case management. Case management is available to seniors in situations where someone might need a little help accessing services, like a change in medical plans, learning to take public transportation, finding volunteer opportunities and many
statistics. Each has a mixture of laws that restricts the kinds of weapons allowed and requires mandatory licensing, rigorous safety training, mental health and background checks. Gun responsibility is a separate and important issue from gun control. My 82-year-old mom grew up in the South and hunted squirrels and small game in her youth. She believes some of today’s problems stem from a lack of basic training. She had to practice, repeatedly, how to shoot and handle a rifle before heading out on her own. She remembers, too, how her Uncle Bob told her, over and over, until the words became so ingrained she could under no circumstances ignore them: Never point a weapon at a person. Today is not my time to argue gun control. Today is my time to wish for ways people in our country can disagree without shooting each other, can argue with respect for differences, while understanding we can’t always get our own way. “In our current political situation,” Mears says, “we don’t see really healthy models of resolution offered. . . . It’s us versus them. When that is the model of coping and behavior that young people see, bad things can happen. There needs to be an adult in the room who practices discourse.” I yearn for a time when we can look at what binds us rather than what separates us. I yearn for ways to ensure young people who feel isolated are connected to adults who care and can engage them in our communities. I yearn for a time when compromise, as Mears says, is seen as an intelligent way of governing rather than a sign of selling out, of weakness.
medals all over the place. Every city block has good people you never hear about. Please don’t get me wrong. I am still a pessimist, but I have recently adjusted my thinking. Not every driver is a jerk. It just seems like it. Not every movie was made for a sophomore’s mentality. It just seems like it. We’re not all trigger-happy. It just seems like it.

other things. “We have a fabulous team of professionals to help in whatever way we can,” Pearson said. The third part of Senior Reach is community resources. Pearson vets anyone who is on the referral list from food banks, transportation, handymen and more. “We trust these folks. They know us and we know them,” Pearson said. “If anything changes in their business or the service they provide to seniors, we’ll know and will continue to give out current information to our seniors. We also follow up to make sure the senior has received the help they were looking for.” Senior Reach is designed to be a grassroots program. Pearson asks neighbors to help be the eyes and ears in the community, to help spread the word about the program and to also be aware if they know of someone who might benefit. “We’re hoping folks will return to looking out for their neighbors and friends like communities used to do before we all got so transient,” Pearson said.
Jefferson Center for Mental Health along with the Seniors’ Resource Center and Mental Health Partners started Senior Reach in July 2005 to serve the citizens of Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Gilpin and Jefferson counties. This Senior Reach Program in Arapahoe and Douglas counties is just one of many that are springing up across the country, including Adams County and Colorado Springs locally. Seniors can contact Senior Reach themselves at 303-723-4289 Monday through Friday. This is not an emergency or crisis line. If someone doesn’t feel comfortable broaching the subject of Senior Reach with a family member or neighbor, they can call the Senior Reach Call Center, give the senior’s name and phone number and staff will reach out to the senior in question, tell them a bit about the program and see if they are interested in participating.
We have to keep our children safe despite the state of politics in our country. “I have great confidence and great hope we will back down off the ledge we’ve forced ourselves on,” Mears says. “By learning to treat others with respect and have dialogue, that’s the only way . . . to preserve our own humanity.” Listen to Doug Brough, talking to a television journalist near the makeshift memorial to his son, soon after his death. “People need to know how good he was. We’ve got to stop this throughout the country. It’s,” his voice trails off, “just devastating.” Read the Wall of Healing at the Columbine Memorial, inscribed with a series of quotations from students, parents, first
responders and the community. One says this: “It brought the nation to its knees, but now that we’ve come back up how have things changed; what have we learned?” The question echoes after each shooting — the most recent just last Sunday on a North Carolina university campus where one student was killed and another wounded. What have we learned? Sadly, not much. And we need to change that.

Panelists on race, health urge equity Well-being is about more than income, experts say
By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Sandra Blythe-Perry grew up in Paterson, New Jersey, years after it was known as “Silk City” for its abundance of textile plants. She grew up after the city’s glory days, as manufacturing declined and “white flight” saw a rush to the suburbs by those who could afford it. Her principal was the real-life Joe Louis Clark, who inspired the movie “Lean on Me” about the beleaguered Eastside High School. “He chained the doors shut to keep the drug dealers out,” remembers BlythePerry. But Blythe-Perry’s parents persisted there, her dad a chef and her mother a
nurse, and managed to raise four children who all went on to earn at least master’s degrees. “They figured out the formula to raise us,” said Blythe-Perry, who today is the executive director of Inter-Faith Community Services. But as was the case with many Paterson families, she and her siblings left Paterson to pursue careers — the unemployment rate there is still about 10 percent, well over the national rate of about 4 percent. “Paterson has nothing to offer,” she said. “… But I often wonder, what if we had stayed? Wouldn’t Paterson be different?” Blythe-Perry shared her story with participants at the South Metro Health Alliance “Health Equity and Race” panel at Regis University on Oct. 29. The feature presentation was a video of John A. Powell, executive director of the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society at the

outcomes.” Maria Velasco of the Spring Institute for Intercultural Communication suggests that one way to achieve that is to change how we think about “equality” versus “equity.” Equality is when everyone gets the same thing, like one apple, for instance. But if one person just had a good meal and the other hasn’t eaten in days, one person is still hungry. Equity, on the other hand, is when everyone gets the same outcome, and nobody goes hungry. “Equality is a deeply rooted American value, but it only works when everyone is starting at the same level,” said Velasco. “Equality sometimes actually promotes disparity.” Powell suggests thinking of it as “targeted universalism.” “Set goals for everyone,” he said. “Belonging is the greatest gift society can give us.”

University of California-Berkeley. Powell argues that being black and poor is worse for a person’s health than being white and poor. By way of example, he discusses a study that showed even happy, healthy and socioeconomically sound black women have more premature and underweight babies than poor white women. “Race is not the same as socioeconomic status,” he said. “There are disparities across income levels.” Powell theorizes that one reason might be “allostatic load,” which is the wear and tear on the body that grows over time when the individual is exposed to repeated or chronic stress — in this case, the stress of a lifetime of being exposed to racism. “Race is like gravity,” he said, in that it’s something everyone experiences without really understanding. “We talk about it not to understand it, but to change

‘I can’t wait to go to school tomorrow.
Continued from Page 1
Despite the Nov. 3 outcome, members who support the district’s reform measures will still hold a 4-3 advantage on the school board. “I hope they assimilate well and work with the rest of the board that remains,” Larsen said of the newcomers. The challengers rallied behind concerns over trust and transparency, what they consider to be the mismanagement of tax dollars, and losses in educational opportunities for students. Car windows painted with the challengers’ names became one of the election’s biggest calling cards. “It was totally a grassroots effort,” Ray said. “I’m most proud about the passion we saw from people. It had nothing to do with a political machine. It had nothing to do with money. It had everything to do with people who are

They also expressed concerns about tax dollars leaving the district in a disproportionate amount and said school financing is an issue they hoped to address at the state level. “The three of us won’t be going anywhere,” Robbins said. “We’ll still be here working and volunteering for the district in any way we can. This is

something we are passionate about.” Richardson declined to be interviewed. For those who fought for change on the school board, the evening was the culmination of years of work. Lynne Butler is the mother of two students who graduated from the district and one who is still a student in Douglas County. “I cannot be more ecstatic,” Butler said. “This has been such a long, long six years of fighting. So many tears, so many high hopes and we got closer
each time. And this time, we did it.” The challengers said the district’s teachers rallied around them and said their support was critical to their victory. In recent years, many teachers have said they felt as if they had lost their voice on the board. “I can’t wait to go to school tomorrow,” said Robin Handy, a Spanish teacher at Castle View High School. “There’s going to be a lot of excitement.” The current board members will participate in a final school board meeting Nov. 17 before the new members are sworn in early next month. “This has been years in the making,” Vogel said. “People worked really hard in this community for the last five years to get people to listen to what is happening to education. Really, it’s an accomplishment for everyone. People from all different walks of life decided they wanted to do what’s right for kids and our community.”

A new twist on Main Street Genuine African Braiding salon in Littleton stays busy, says owner
By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s a long way in space and time from 1999 war-ravaged Liberia to 2015 Main Street in Littleton, but it’s a journey that Patient Morgan says made her the strong and confident woman she is today. “I already replaced all those memories,” she said. “The good part of coming from there is that it makes me appreciate who I am right now. … The same day I got in this country, I started working for myself. I’ve never worked for anybody. That’s the kind of person I am.” And part of who she has been since then is the owner and stylist at Genuine African Braiding and Beauty Supply. She recently moved to Main Street in downtown Littleton, where there are a number of other hair salons but none specializing in braiding. “I love different experiences and welcome everybody,” she said. “I like places that bring people together. Here, it’s interesting to be where you don’t see the same kind of variety. It makes it unique and brings warmth. The location makes a difference with the different people you meet.” It’s in some ways quite similar to her last space, which was in downtown Denver but also in a historic neighborhood. But it’s pretty different, too, she says. Just 1 percent of Littleton’s population is black, with 82 percent being white, according to 2013 census data. That’s similar to Douglas County, which is 1 percent black and 84 percent white. But that’s not what’s most important to Morgan. She and her husband, James, are sharing the building at 2699 W. Main St. because they both wanted to be closer to the Greenwood Village home they share with their 13-year-old twin daughters. “This location brought my family together,” she said. She’s not too worried about finding customers, either. She says all of her customers followed her from Denver, and many folks who live on the south end will be relieved to not have to drive to Denver or Aurora, where most braiding shops in the metro area are located. Mary Jones has been a customer for three years and has no problem driving from Thornton for Morgan’s services. “To find a really good braider, it’s a big search in the Denver area,” she said. “They can break it off, you can lose your hair if you don’t braid it correctly. If they pull it too tight, it breaks and it hurts. The way she braids, it doesn’t hurt. You could go to sleep while she’s doing it.” Morgan says that when people find out
Patient Morgan braids the hair of 15-year-od Jasmine Shells in her Main Street store, Genuine African Braiding. Shells, a Highlands Ranch resident, has been going to Morgan for braids ever since she was a little girl. Photos by Jennifer Smith she’s from Liberia, they have more faith in the authenticity of her work. She learned her craft at a school there before she met her husband, who was serving in the Peace Corps. Braiding was a big part of the culture there, she says. According to an article by Deepa Venkitesh for scholastic-materials company Bright Hub Education: “Braids are a part of the tribal customs in Africa. The braid patterns signify the tribe and help to identify the member of the tribe.” The article continues: “Braid patterns or hairstyles indicate a person’s community, age, marital status, wealth, power, social position, and religion. ... Immense importance is given to the custom of braiding. The person who braids hair performs it as both a ritual and a social service.” By the time Morgan was growing up in Liberia, braiding was done for a more basic reason. “The braids are a way to be professional,” she said. “For example, in my country, when I was going to school, we were not allowed to style our hair until high school. Getting our hair braided was a way to be mature. And especially if we were in uniforms, it showed our identity.” One might think hairstyles would have been the last thing on people’s minds in the early 1990s when Morgan was coming

of age. One of Africa’s bloodiest civil wars raged there from 1989 to 1996, claiming the lives of more than 200,000 Liberians and displacing a million others into refugee camps in neighboring countries. “Basically it was just surviving,” said Morgan. “Food was scarce. You don’t see how bad it is until you’re out of there. But there are memories you can’t ever erase. Like bodies lying all around you, and fleeing through the jungle.” As happy as she is to be living a good life now, she thinks she might go back to visit one day. “I’m not in a rush to go back, but I’m hoping in the future I can go back, just for my kids to see it,” she said. “Colorado has been nice to my soul. You can live other places, and you don’t feel happy and blessed, and I do.” And she’s hoping to share her enthusiasm about Main Street with all of her customers, old and new. “I was kind of surprised she moved to Littleton,” said Jones. “You get used to going to one spot, and you think it’s going to be forever. This is beautiful compared to where she came from. It’s so bright. I’ve never been on Main Street before; this is my first time. I haven’t had a chance to walk down the street and look at the shops yet, but I’m looking forward to that.”
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT LIBERIA Liberia, which translates into “land of the free,” was founded in 1821 as an American colony. President James Monroe intended it to be a sanctuary for freed African and Caribbean slaves, many of whom were born in the United States. The capital, Monrovia, was named for him. A 1980 coup led to political instability, and by the end of the 1980s, the country had fallen into a state of civil war that lasted, with a short respite, until a peace agreement was reached in 2003. The subsequent 2005 elections resulted in the African continent’s first female president, Harvard-trained economist Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. She is currently serving her second term. Liberia was most recently in the news for the deadly Ebola virus epidemic, which originated in Guinea in December 2013 and entered Liberia in March 2014. The outbreak officially ended on May 8, 2015, after 42 days with no new cases.

Only the good dye yarn Englewood Civic Center event will feature demonstrations
IF YOU GO
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Rocky Mountain Weavers Guild holds its Fiber Arts Sale each year in the Community Room on the second level of the Englewood Civic Center. This year’s sale will run Nov. 12-14 and will include demonstrations of spinning and weaving by guild members. Admission is free. Here, one finds a riot of colors and textures in both items to wear and home accessories that are an ongoing pleasure to own — or unique, one-of-a-kind gifts for family and friends. In addition to woven garments, hats, handbags, table runners and small rugs, there are beautifully painted silk scarves as well as jewelry, basketry and other fiber arts with a wide range of prices. A happy local connection has developed recently through guild member Donna Brown, whose dye studio overlooks the Chatfield Farms at the Denver Botanic Garden at Chatfield, near C-470 and Kipling. Brown, who has grown, worked with
The Rocky Mountain Fiber Arts Sale will be in the Community Room on the second level of the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway, Nov. 12-14. Hours: Nov. 12, 4 to 8 p.m.; Nov. 13, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Nov. 14, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Guild members will demonstrate their art during the show. Admission is free. (Credit cards accepted.)

and taught about natural dyes (including for DBG) for 25 years, said she walks by the Gardens every day. She proposed to the enthusiastic new director, Larry Zickerman, that a dye garden would fit the historic nature of the old farmstead and a collaborative project began. The Guild had been granted some money in honor of late member Janice Ford. It was applied to developing a dye garden in her name. Members supplied seeds and plants were started in DBG greenhouses, then transfered to Chatfield Farms, where members and staff tended the plants. “We meet once a week on Thursdays. There are about 30 guild members involved. We weed, harvest, hold classes,”
Naturally dyed yarns will be available at the Rocky Mountain Weavers Guild Sale at Englewood Civic Center Nov. 12-14. Courtesy photo Brown said. Kids dyed silk scarves with dyes made from marigolds and will learn to do resist patterns. “It’s a really nice collaboration,” Brown observed. Last year, DBG started seeds including indigo, madder, yarrow, blackeyed Susans and black hollyhocks for the 2015 dye garden. Seeds have been saved for a repeat start-up for next season. Brown also grows dye plants in her back yard and was about to cook some indigo to make dye after we spoke recently. Her busi-
ness is called Trainway silks and she sells dyed ribbons and embroidery floss to shops across the country, where she also travels to teach. A selection of natural-dyed yarns will be available for purchase at the Fiber Arts Sale. Young people are showing a particular interest in pet-based yarns, she added. One can save the husky’s hair after brushing, for example, and learn to spin it into yarn and knit or weave into soft fabric. A few such items may be available at the sale.
1930s stylings come to life in Gypsy jazz Denver’s own songstress, Lannie Garrett, returns with her popular Gypsy jazz show, Under Paris Skies, beginning at 8 p.m. Nov. 7 and continuing every Saturday through Nov. 28 at Lannie’s Clocktower Cabaret in downtown Denver. Doors open at 7 p.m. and tickets are $35. The Under Paris Skies show is a pairing of Garrett’s smooth vocals and the catchy, foot-tapping music of the group, The Gypsy Swing Revue. Gypsy jazz is a blend of two styles of music, traditional Gypsy music and American swing. Featured songs include: “La Vie en Rose,” “Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen,” “C’est Si Bon,” and “Under Paris Skies.” Musicians Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, from the Hot Club of France, originally conceived Gypsy jazz in the 1930s. The Gypsy Swing Revue features the arrangements of lead guitarist Elliot Reed with Anthony Salvo featured on violin, Stephen Hill on rhythm guitar and Jean-Luc Davis on stand-up bass. Lannie’s Clocktower Cabaret is located underneath the D&F Clock Tower building on the corner of the 16th Street Mall and Arapahoe Street in downtown Denver. Tickets can be purchased at 303-293-0075 or online at www.Lannies.com. Tavern Downtown earns kudos Thrillist.com, the website that never met a “best” list it didn’t like, is now declaring “The Best Sports Bar in Every NFL City.” Here’s what Thrillist said: “... Keep in mind we’re not just talking about the best Giants bar in New York or the best Cowboys bar in Dallas; rather, these are the best places to watch sporting
events based on the outrageous number of TVs, the deliciousness of the food and drink, and the all-around attributes that make them places we want to party on game day.” Best Broncos bar? The Tavern DownPenny Parker town, 1949 Market St., according to MILE HIGH Thrillist. LIFE “Because it’s an official sponsor of the Broncos, one of the perks is that it runs a season-long contest where two bar patrons are whisked off to the Broncos sideline to hang out before every home game. Most people won’t get to watch Peyton warm up, though, so one major draw for everyone else is the massive 11,000-square-foot rooftop patio, which offers views of both Coors Field and beautiful people enjoying the Mile High sunshine. And since the Rockies and Nuggets disappoint fans six months out of the year, billiards, foosball, mini bowling, local beers and chicken nachos can distract those poor Coloradans in their time of need.” For the rest of Thrillist’s picks, go to www.thrillist.com/drink/nation/the-bestsports-bar-in-every-nfl-city. The Tavern has seven other locations, including Lowry, Uptown, Wash Park and downtown Littleton. Uncorked in Centennial

Art exhibition at college draws strong entries ‘This is Colorado’ will be at ACC through Nov. 13 By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com For many years, the Heritage Fine Arts Guild of Arapahoe County has hosted a statewide exhibit of two-dimensional art that draws strong entries from the area arts community. “This is Colorado” opened Oct. 21 in the Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College with an Oct. 23 reception filled with artists and art lovers — and will run through Nov. 13. The 2015 juror was ACC adjunct professor of art Marsha Wooley, a nationally known landscape painter whose “Trees Near Sunset, Canyonlands” is just to the left of the entrance to the gallery.
She selected 58 works for the show from 102 submitted. Exhibited works include the expected oils, watercolors, pastels, acrylics, mixed media and a few textile works — representational and abstract. The Best of Show, “Rhapsody,” a 36-by36-inch oil by Centennial painter Susan Moore, bridges the last two definitions. Velvet ripples of oversized dappled green ribbon flow across the canvas. It’s about the eighth of a series, she said, with the ribbon in all of them. It grew out of her journaling, which happens at the start, middle and end of a painting, contemplating the spirituality involved. The ribbon symbolizes a “path to connectedness with the world.” As one looks further, one sees a small figure running into the shelter of the first ribbon loop. “It’s about seeking sanctuary in life — fearless.” It appears to be a man,
IF YOU GO “This is Colorado” runs weekdays through Nov. 13 at the Colorado Gallery of the Arts in the annex on the east side of the main Arapahoe Community College campus, 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton. Hours: noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays; until 7 p.m. on Tuesday evenings. Free parking in lots A, B, C. Tickets will not be issued during exhibit hours. but started out from a gesture drawing of a woman running, Moore said. “I used green deliberately (representing) growth, nature, balance and harmony in nature.” This person is “exhilarated, enthusiastic, fearless, inviting challenges …” Moore said Wooley told her she had resolved the work “with brushwork and luminosity.” Moore paints full time now after retiring from a career as an interior designer, which included teaching at ACC. She studies with painters Victoria Kwasinski and Linda
Dahl. Other winners included: Susan Yager for her well-executed small acrylic “Vase of Joy,” which she said was inspired by a piece of fabric. Second place went to Lee Wasilik for “October, Please Don’t Go,” a mixed media painting, and third went to Nancy Raskin’s pastel, “Waterfall.” The Juror’s Pick was “Cracker” by Kristie Bradley, an acrylic painting. There are another 13 awards from individuals and businesses — always a nice feature for the artists at this show.

Hunt at ranch unites area veterans Nonprofit helps those who were wounded serving country By Rick Gustafson Special to Colorado Community Media James Jordan sweats as he trudges through the brush, up the steep slope toward the top of a rocky plateau. The bleached, fall sun has warmed the chilly morning, and Jordan has already shed one layer. The hillside is neither as steep nor as high as the terrain he climbed in Afghanistan, and the ground here is sandy without the loose shale. The small pack strapped on his back weighs nothing compared with the 125-pound load he humped as a paratrooper. “We had deer sign all over this area earlier this morning,” said Jordan, of Arvada. He clambers over some boulders at the top and steps on a trail leading toward the trees across the grassy plateau. Nearby, fellow veteran Mike Alsop, of Highlands Ranch, has taken up a position on the cliff and is watching four deer in a stand of trees just outside the property line of the Boy Scout Ranch in Elbert County where the men are hunting. He sights-in the small herd at 263 yards but knows not to take the shot. The hunt at the ranch was one of three separate hunts over the weekend of Oct. 24 and 25 sponsored by American Heroes in Action, a nonprofit group supporting wounded combat veterans along with firefighters and law enforcement officers injured in the line of duty. The series of outdoor adventures were designed to bring these men and women together for outdoor therapy. With the help of District 1 County Commissioner Robert Rowland and Casey

Each hunter was licensed with a tag appropriate for the area, and American Heroes in Action reimbursed the cost of the tags. Dave Proffit, president and founder of American Heroes in Action, said that the value of bringing veterans together for outdoor adventures goes well beyond just hunting and fishing. “They learn things being together here, other than the lies they tell each other
about hunting and fishing,” he joked. “They learn from each other about the benefits available and treatments that will help them get better, what works.” Each of the three veteran hunters received serious wounds during the first years of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Jordan was wounded by 23 fragments of shrapnel when his interpreter stepped on a mine during a mission in Afghanistan. Following his treatment, he received a medical retirement and is studying sports management. On Sept. 11, 2001, Alsop was a student at the University of Colorado. By that
afternoon, he was on the phone with a recruiter. He served in the infantry and later joined a recon unit until a roadside bomb blew his Humvee in half. In addition to extensive trauma, 13 of his vertebrae were shattered. One of the doctors who treated Alsop attributed his survival to his extreme physical fitness. The muscle mass in his back held the pieces of his spine in place and prevented them from severing his spinal cord. “The only part they got from me was my spleen,” Alsop joked. Both Jordan and Alsop suffered traumatic brain injuries and continue treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. Nathan Henderson, of Colorado Springs, served as a Marine and was wounded in the first week of the Iraq War and a second time a month after returning to duty. He re-enlisted and served the Corps for eight years. Following his service, Henderson worked for a military contractor and later as a cable installer. He said that he misses the sense of family he experienced in the military and among his fellow contractors, most of whom were veterans. He is studying intelligence at American Military University and hopes to serve as an analyst. His search for a greater sense of camaraderie was part of his motivation for signing up for the hunt. An hour before sunset, three deer emerge from a stand of trees just south of where Nathan Henderson, who is biggame hunting for the first time, watches from his position near the lake. Henderson’s single shot fells one of the animals and drives the remaining two deer north where Jordan and Alsop are waiting. Jordan’s shots claim the second deer of the afternoon.

Liggett recovers from mono for ‘surreal’ finish By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Catherine Liggett never imagined that she could finish third in the Class 5A cross-country championship Oct. 31 at the Norris Penrose Events Center in Colorado Springs. The Legend senior was the third-place finisher, which was an accomplishment after battling back from a case of mononucleosis. “It was kind of surreal to finish third,” she said. “I was out last sea-
son for track because of medical issues. Coming back this season I really didn’t expect to do too good. I got a really severe strain of mono. I was in the hospital for about two weeks. I wasn’t allowed to do any physical activity. I couldn’t do any hiking, and I am very much an outdoors person. “When I started to come back I ran maybe 2 miles a week. To look back and six months I couldn’t do any physical activities, and now I am able to compete again and feel healthy. I couldn’t imagine that could happen.” Liggett clarified her case of mono, which wasn’t diagnosed until last spring. “I had it possibly at the end of cross-country last year,” she add-
Boys Individual - 1. Ben Butler, Sr., SkyView Academy, 15:50.50. Team - 4. SkyView Academy (Ben Butler, Jimmy Scavuzzo, Joseph Pippin, Jordan Wilson, Ryan Butler), 136. Class 4A Girls Individual - 4. Reagan Hausmann, Sr., Valor Christian, 18:53.95. ed. “It takes about two months to really see the symptoms. I just felt tired all the time and didn’t understand why. I got diagnosed with it about March. I was able to start running again about mid-June.” Liggett ran third at the state meet behind Lauren Gregory of Fort Collins and Brie Oakley of Grandview, but she pressed the top two runners and finished with a time of 18:24.55. “I knew I was within range,” she said. “I raced with confidence

Valor, Creek earn No. 1 seeds in football playoffs Nine south metro schools qualify for 32-team bracket Staff report Valor Christian and defending state champion Cherry Creek were two of the four teams to get top seeds when the Class 5A state football playoff brackets were released Nov. 1 by the Colorado High School Activities Association. The 32-team bracket was divided into four quadrants with unbeaten Columbine and Grandview getting the other No. 1 seeds. Wild card points were used to determine the 32 playoff teams, and all first-round games will be played between Nov. 5-7. Centennial League champion Valor Christian (7-2) will host Legend (4-5) in a Region C opening game at 7 p.m. on Nov. 6. Cherry Creek (7-2) will entertain Rock Canyon in a Region D, first-round contest set for 7 p.m.

Five other south metro teams besides Valor, Creek, Legend and Rock Canyon qualified for the playoffs, which will conclude Dec. 5 with the state championship game as Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Cherokee Trail (5-4) will play at Heritage (7-2) in a Region A game, which is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Nov. 5 at Littleton Public Schools Stadium.

Paxton and it was not like, ‘I’m not fast enough to get that girl.’ So, I’m happy. I went out pretty fast at the beginning. That’s what I’ve done in my past races. It worked OK. But in future races, I’ll probably hold back a little more and then try to push more at the end.” There’s still more to Liggett’s medical woes, but nothing that bothered her on Oct. 31 at the Penrose venue, which hosts a lot of horse shows and rodeos. “My freshman year I ran here

Twin brothers spark Ponderosa victory Mustangs stampede Lions in 45-0 rout By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Sterling and Quinton Ostdahl are sophomore twin brothers who play on the Ponderosa football team. Sterling is the 6-foot, 170-pound starting quarterback while Quinton is bigger as a 6-foot-1, 185-pound linebacker. “I wrestle varsity so I cut a little bit of weight,” said Sterling. “He is just genetically bigger, I guess.” Both Ostdahl brothers had big games Oct. 29 when the Mustangs rolled to a 45-0 win over Littleton in a 4A Plains League game at Littleton Public Schools Stadium. Key Moments Ponderosa had a 57-yard, nineplay scoring drive on the first possession of the game and never let up. The Mustangs went ahead 45-0 with 8:26 remaining in the third quarter, which brought the mercy rule and running clock into play. “We feel like we are really progressing in all three phases,” said Ponderosa coach Jaron Cohen. “Special teams scored for the second week in a row as well as the defense having the fourth shutout of the year and second in a row.” Key players/statistics Sterling Ostdahl completed 11 of 18 passes for 147 yards and two touchdowns. Kelton Whitehouse rushed for 97 yards on 13 carries and had two touchdowns for the
Mustangs. Also for Ponderosa, Preston Mills hauled in two TD passes; Nick Wilson caught six passes for 77 yards and scored one TD; and Ryder Ghidotti got into the scoring act with a 48-yard punt return. Quinton Ostdahl was part of the Ponderosa defense that held Littleton to 25 yards total offense for the game. In the first half, the Lions had more punts and total yardage. Littleton punted six times and had a high snap on another attempted punt result in a 15-yard loss. The Lions had minus six yards in total offense during the first two quarters. They said it Sterling Ostdahl replaced Wilson as the starting quarterback before the Dakota Ridge game on Oct. 9. “We believe Nick is a special talent at receiver and Sterling is a special talent at quarterback so it gives us a chance to do some things on offense,” explained Cohen. Littleton played without leading rusher Noah McGhee. “Noah was hurt a few weeks ago and had grade issues,” said Lions coach Kurt Krantz. “I am proud of our kids. They did not give up and it has been a tough year.” Going forward Ponderosa, 7-2 overall and 3-1 in the 4A Plains League, hosts Kennedy on Nov. 6 while Littleton (3-6 and 2-2) takes on league-leading Dakota Ridge Nov. 5 at Trailblazer Stadium.

Injured wrestler making progress
Joe Hunsaker, the Castle View wrestler who was paralyzed in a wrestling match on Feb. 1, 2014, is a student at Oregon State and living independently. Hunsaker has regained a lot of function in his legs, arms and hands, according to his father, Jim. He is still in a wheelchair but once in a standing position, he is able to walk for short distances. Jim Benton “He is making good progress,” said Jim Hunsaker, who has OVERTIME moved with his wife to Canby, Oregon. Joe attended the 2014 fall term at Oregon State but needed a caretaker in the morning and evening. He then came back to Denver for 6 1/2 months of intensive walking therapy at Craig Medical Center. He is back in Oregon now, and recently shot a deer on a hunting trip with his uncle. He also passed a driver’s test, saying driving with hand controls can be hard to learn. Northglenn sophomore defies odds The softball season is over and Northglenn sophomore Jaide Bucher had another good showing. Good enough that she is featured on the Gatorade Spotlight Win From Within, which was tagged Defying Doubt.

Valor unveils $34 million arts venue Facility could be available for community use in 2016
By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Valor Christian has opened the doors on a 94,000-square-foot arts venue that is the first of its kind at the high school level in Colorado. The building took seven years to complete and cost more than $34 million. “The reason we are investing that much is because Valor has this vison — we believe that media and the arts are a huge communications portal to our culture,” said Arie Ringnalda, director of Valor arts+media. “So if we are going to teach kids to be leaders with strong values that benefit society, we have to do that well on the arts side.” According to Ringnalda, the majority of the project was funded by nine anonymous private donors. “We did our research and couldn’t find anything even close to comparable,” said Valor brand manager Kelly Jelniker. “It rivals the PACE Center in Parker, the Arvada Center, all of the regional auditoriums.” Ringnalda said he expects the Valor Center to be open for use by the community next year. Eventually, the center will host professional performances, public speaking series, political debates and local groups such as the South Suburban Community Orchestra. The new building boasts everything from a professional auditorium to a recording studio, animation and design studios, a broadcast center and art spaces, which range from painting and pottery studios to a photography studio with a darkroom. The hallways are decorated with a mix of professional and student art displays and the lobby will serve as a gallery space. The private school in Highlands Ranch has $180,000 worth of pianos throughout the building that were given to the school through a partnership with Yamaha. Yamaha has a similar partnership with the University of Denver. The pianos are

donated for free and then replaced with new models every year. Yamaha then sells the old pianos. “It’s something they have never done with high schools before,” Ringnalda said. Valor also has a partnership with McPherson Guitars. Sophomore Hannah Seely is part of the Valor dance program. She has recently started learning silk aerial, similar to the acrobatics seen at Cirque du Soleil performances.
“I never thought something like this would actually come to life,” Seely said. “But now that I’m actually in it, it’s amazing.” Tony Bossio is an advanced studio recording student. He spends his free periods in the studio working on producing and remixing songs. He’s currently working on a remix of Iggy Azalea’s hit “Fancy.” “It’s absolutely crazy how we can get our hands on this stuff,” Bossio said. “I actually started calling Valor a college now.” What the Valor Center has to offer • A 750-seat performance hall with a full-fly stage, mechanized pit lift, stateof-the-art lighting, rigging and superior variable acoustics. • A recording studio designed to attract professional artists from near and far and facilitate opportunities for students to work alongside the industry’s top talent. • State-of-the-art, professional television studio, including a control room with the latest broadcast advancements. • Media screening and editing suite,
