Celebrating family, pets, baseball and great outdoors What brought us here We moved to Parker from Georgia in the fall of 2014. My husband and I were looking for a change of pace with more opportunities for our two kids. He was offered a position with a local government agency. The Parker community is the best, most embracing community. My family is the best! My husband is the hardest worker and most selfless person I know. He knew he wanted more for us and he made it happen and continues to do so every single day. My son, Nate, is in high school and is funny and so smart, loves the outdoors and is really enjoying the lifestyle that Colorado provides. I have a 9-yearold daughter, Jude, who has a passion for community already. She did Shave the Mayor this last

April with Mike Waid, raising over $14,000 in donations. She is a softball player and aspires to be in the MLB when she grows up. We have two fur babies, Shelby and Buster, one hamster — Hersh, who has had two lives after accidentally getting sucked into the vacuum while cleaning its house — and a fish, Nat (named after the Washington Nationals!)

women who always saw the good in everything. They laughed in awkward situations, hugged everyone they met, and never met a stranger. And they danced for no reason. Most important, they impacted everyone around them with joy and provided grace when the world or situation maybe didn’t deserve it.

My dream world In my opinion the world would be a better place if we all went back to the basics and lived by the golden rule “love thy neighbor.” Enjoy each other’s differences and celebrate them! Fill the world with comedy and just laugh!

Out for fun We are a big baseball family, we breathe ball ... it is a shame it ends in October! We also love whitewater rafting and hiking. Random adventures are our favorites, finding new places and new things. And we love to sing and dance in the car!

Grandmas spread cheer The biggest influences in my life are both my grandmas. They were both strong Christian

A toll adjustment announced Nov. 9 by the E-470 Board of Directors would freeze toll rates for ExpressToll drivers through 2020. That means ExpressToll users driving the 47-mile roadway can lock in the rates they are paying today, according to the board. Additionally, the toll rate on E-470 between I-70 and Peña Boulevard (Toll Plaza C) will be reduced by 25 cents to align the toll pricing with demand in the area and further ease congestion on the neighboring roadways. ExpressToll customers on E-470 now pay $1.25 to access the roadway via the tolled on- and off-ramps and $2.70 to $2.95 per toll plaza. With the toll adjustment, License Plate Tolls will be adjusted to cover the higher cost of collections associated with that option. “It takes a large amount of resources and manpower to maintain the cameras, look up each license plate, cross reference the plate with the state DMV for verification, send out printed bills and continue to collect on those tolls,” said Tim Stewart, E-470 executive director. Stewart is excited about passing savings on and rewarding new and existing ExpressToll customers. “This should incentivize drivers to sign up for an ExpressToll account to benefit from the huge savings,” he said. The ExpressToll and license plate adjustments will go into effect Jan. 1. E-470 is the 75-mph toll running along the eastern perimeter of the Denver metropolitan area. E-470 is a user-financed roadway, receiving no local, state or federal funds for financing, construction, operations or maintenance. E-470 is a political subdivision of the state governed by the E-470 Public Highway Authority Board, which includes eight local governments — Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties — and the municipalities of Parker, Thornton, Aurora, Brighton and Commerce City. E-470 also operates ExpressToll, the all-electronic toll collection system available on E-470, Northwest Parkway and Colorado’s Express Lanes. Additional information on ExpressToll and License Plate Toll can be found at ExpressToll.com or by calling 303-537-3470.

Project Poultry helps needy in Honduras Parker merchant’s program reaches out to poor families BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lanny York admits he quickly gained a lot of knowledge about chickens when he decided to found Project Poultry in February as a way to help improve the quality of life for poor families in Northern Honduras. “About all I knew about chickens was they were good to eat but I knew nothing about how to raise chickens until we started this program,” the Parker business owner said. “It was a steep learning curve but fortunately the Hondurans who worked with us on the project knew all about raising chickens and were patient in educating me.” York stressed the program is designed to be a hand up not a hand out. “Volunteers build the 12-foot-by-8-foot chicken coop and provide 10 hens and a rooster as brood stock,” he said. “That is the helping hand part because the family has to provide all the wood needed for the coop and signs a contract that once they have the chicken, they will work to feed and take care of them so the flock will grow.” A hen typically lays about an egg a day. About half the eggs are fertilized and the family agrees to not to eat or sell any of the fertilized eggs for the first six months so they will hatch and grow the size of the flock. After six months, the family is in business. They can sell or eat eggs and sell or eat some of the chickens. Also, at the end of six months, the family returns five adult hens to the program. “I learned a hen can begin laying eggs when it is 4 1/2 months old. The eggs that hatch help grow the flock,” he said. “Most of the 10 families that began the program in February with 11 chickens had 25 to 30 chickens in their flock in September.” When he decided to start the program in the mountains around the village of San Antonio de Cortes, he enlisted the assistance of local chicken business owner Pedro Sortososa and the local city government. “Fortunately Pedro was willing to educate me about raising chickens and the mayor and local officials were willing to help me identify the most needy families that would benefit from the program,” he said. “Pedro works with us to set up the project for the family, then he manages the program by visiting families in the program once a week to assist them if they need help and to make sure they are doing all that is needed to keep the chickens healthy and the flock growing.” York, 62, said he first went to Honduras almost five years ago to work with International Hope Builders, a Christian organization building houses out of Styrofoam blocks for families living in extreme poverty in the northern mountains. “Providing a house for a family was fine but it didn’t help them shake off the chains of poverty,” he said. “About a year ago, working with local Hondurans, I

Pedro Sortososa, foreman of Project Poultry, holds up two of the 10 hens that will be provided to help establish a large brood of chickens for a poor family in the mountains of Honduras. The aim of Project Poultry, founded by Parker businessman Lanny York, is to provide the starting elements of a chicken and egg business with family members working to care for the chickens and assist in helping the flock grow. York said the idea is to make the project a helping hand not a handout. established Hand Up International. Our first project offered to a helping hand by creating a scholarship program so children and young people could receive a solid education. In February, we started Project Poultry by providing a family with a chicken flock. The idea is for the new chicken owners to work hard at building the size of the flock so they can feed the family or launch a chicken and egg business.” York was born in Indiana, raised in Southern California and attended Point Loma Nazarene College in San Diego, where he majored in business with a minor in ministry. “We eventually moved to the Denver area in 1974 to follow my call to the ministry and my passion for missions so I could join the staff at Denver First Church of the Nazarene in Englewood,” he said. “I was on staff until June 1990. I went into business and continued to pursue my passion for ministry and missions as an individual, which led me in 2005 to join International Home Builders. I started my own mission ministry, Operation Hand Up International, in 2014, which is sustained by only by grants and donations. We work with and are affiliated with Christ’s Hands In Action, a nondenominational evangelical outreach organization enabling missions. ” He and his wife live in Aurora. They have three grown children and nine grandchildren. York is president and senior owner of Mountain States Payment Network in Parker. His firm sells, owns and services automated teller machines for business throughout the metro area. He said he plans to continue the scholarship project and Project Poultry, plus, in September, he started Project Plant, which helps poor families plant and tend vegetable gardens.

New school board signals change of direction Priorities will include student achievement, teacher retention, revenue, members say BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County school board may be getting four new members, but sitting member David Ray is excited about a camaraderie that he says already exists. “Whereas when we came on two years ago,” Ray said, “there was already — before we stepped on the dais — contentiousness.” After eight years of an oftencontroversial majority of reformminded members, voters elected four new members to the Douglas County School Board on Nov. 7. Krista Holtzmann, Anthony Graziano, Kevin Leung and Chris Schor — who were known as “commUNITY” candidates and largely oppose the reform measures implemented — each won with more than 57 percent of the vote. The four candidates ran against reform-minded candidates known as Elevate Douglas County — Grant Nelson, Debora Scheffel, Ryan Abresch and Randy Mills.

“There is a common focus now,” said Ray, a former Douglas County principal who was elected in 2015 on a similar platform of reform opposition with Anne-Marie Lemieux and Wendy Vogel. “We are no longer distracted by what I would considered things that aren’t directly applicable to Douglas County kids.” The victory signals a change in direction for the school board that has been in the public eye since 2009, when candidates who espoused reforms such as payfor-performance evaluations for teachers and a form of school choice that would later include a controversial voucher program were elected. At an Election Night viewing party, all four “commUNITY” candidates said that as school board members, they will first and foremost focus on the 68,000 students in the school district. “Our community is expecting that from us,” said Schor, a former principal in the district. “We are the servants of the community and that is what we will do.” Priorities will dictate action The new board will have a list of priorities to tackle, Ray said, but the voucher program that has been tied up in the court system since 2011 — and is awaiting a second

look by the Colorado Supreme Court — isn’t at the top. “The nonnegotiable for me is that it can’t cost taxpayers money for us to defend it,” Ray said. “We haven’t had much conversation about what the next steps should be.” Focuses of the new board will be student achievement, staff retention and revenue, Ray said. He foresees the new board listening to and relying on committees, such as the Long Range Planning Committee, which studies district facility and capacity needs. He expects work to be done to establish a payfor-performance model that recognizes experience in profession, as well as performance and skill. Ray is optimistic about looking at a tax measure that would generate more money for capital needs across the district. But, he said, that would first require “mass support” from the community. A mill levy override on the ballots in 2008 and 2011 failed both times. School board president Meghann Silverthorn, who is term-limited and will not be part of the board when the new members are sworn in, which will likely be at a school board meeting on Nov. 28, said she hopes the new board values voices in the community and engages in thoughtful change. Another tax measure failure would be “three strikes in a row,” she said.

“You can’t make anybody support a tax increase,” said Silverthorn, who has been among the board’s reform-minded majority for eight years. “You can understand when the conditions are right to pursue one and run a campaign that respects people’s rights.” There will be pressure from the community for the new board to make changes, Silverthorn said. Over the past two years, she said, the board tried to move in the right direction with its implementation of policies and responsiveness, but “it wasn’t fast enough, it wasn’t big enough and the community did not feel satisfied for whatever reason.” She hopes to see “ongoing respect all around.” “I’d like to see members who don’t rush into anything simply because they feel like they have a mandate to do things,” Silverthorn said. “I’d like to see them take a step back from the overheated election and decide what they really want to see.” For six years, supporters of reforms held all seven seats on the Douglas County School Board. They introduced new policies that, in the eyes of many in the community, caused an exodus of hundreds of teachers and administrators. SEE CHANGE, P8

Task force seeking turkey dinner donations Food bank helps feed families in need

CALM AFTER THE STORM

BY TABATHA DEANS STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Parker Task Force food bank is asking the community to help provide complete Thanksgiving meals to families in need this holiday season. Typically, the food bank feeds more than 200 families, or about 993 individuals, from Thanksgiving through Christmas. “We’ve been doing the Community for Thanksgiving Meals program for about five years, and have been able to help countless families enjoy a full meal that they prepare in their homes, so they can have a good Thanksgiving without worries,” said Diane Roth, a volunteer with the Parker Task Force. Donations should include all the items necessary for a family of four to six people, including a turkey, roasting pan, rolls, pie, potatoes and gravy, and anything else that would traditionally be consumed for Thanksgiving. Monetary donations are also accepted to help families through the winter. Gift cards to local grocery stores are also useful, and donations can be made via Paypal at www.parkertaskforce.org. “The holiday season is a vital time to raise money for all nonprofits,” said Steve Budnack, chairman of the

Parker resident Evelyn Poulo wondered if the new Harvie Open Space would have a fire pit and a bench to enjoy the view. The answer to the first was no: Town regulations prohibit fire pits in parks. But benches and trailside seating, including one at the area’s highest point — Poulo’s wish so she can “sit and enjoy the view and some sunshine” — will happen. Nearly 40 Parker residents shared their ideas and questions at a Nov. 1 open house about the newly donated Harvie Open Space, which includes 72 acres directly north of Mainstreet and Canterberry Parkway. Other concerns from residents were whether there would be bathroom facilities and, if so whether they would be ADA-compliant. The answer

to both was yes. The property was donated to Douglas County in February 1996 by resident Ray J. Harvie, and included a conservation easement restricting development of the land. The town of Parker received the land in December 2016 and spent the summer clearing debris from the property. DHM Design presented a conceptual plan of future improvements allowed by the existing easement.Those include soft-surface trails, interpretive signage and one restroom facility. A gravel parking lot with space for 20 cars has been approved, as well as a picnic shelter with benches that can accommodate up to 25 people. Trails will vary by size and material, including asphalt trails, soft surface and single tracks. Construction is slated to begin early 2019. “The space is going to be a nice place for residents to go take a walk or sit and enjoy the weather,” said Dennis Trapp, project administrator for Parker’s recreation department. “I think Parker residents are really going to enjoy this space and utilize it.”

Former Lone Tree mayor seeks place in Congress Jim Gunning announces run for House District 4 position BY TABATHA DEANS STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Former Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning announced he is seeking the Republican nomination for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District seat, in a gathering of more than 50 people in front of the Freedom Keeper monument on Wilcox Street in Castle Rock on Nov. 10. “America is incredibly divided, and we need to look for leadership to bring us back together,” said Gunning, who is aiming to be the GOP Gunning nominee for the post in the November 2018 election. Supporters applauded Gunning as he declared his intentions to advocate on the behalf of 4th District residents. “Nuclear issues demand toughness. At home we have a drug crisis that needs addressed, and Congress must find a solution

to health care,” he said. “We won’t compromise our children’s future for political gain today.” District 4 includes Parker, Lone Tree, Castle Rock, Elbert County, much of Colorado’s Eastern Plains, and areas north of the Denver metro area. The sprawling district borders Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico, and its 38,103-square-mile area covers more than a third of Colorado. It has been represented since January 2015 by Republican Ken Buck, of Windsor, who is in his second term. Gunning served two terms as the mayor of Lone Tree, where he has lived for 20 years, and said keeping in touch with residents is vital for any successful official. “When I was mayor of Lone Tree, citizen input made the difference in determining action and priorities. Government should serve us, not rule us,” he said. Gunning served in the Air Force for nearly 20 years, both on active duty and in the reserves. He served on the Lone Tree City Council before being elected twice as mayor. At his candidacy announcement, Gunning was joined by his wife of more than 30 years, Amy; son Alex, 28; and daughter Paige, 22.

Jim Gunning speaks to a crowd of supporters in Castle Rock, as he announces he will be seeking the Republican nomination for the 4th Congressional District. The two-term Lone Tree mayor said “The government should work for us, not rule us.” TABATHA STEWART

Brauchler drops governor bid, jumps into attorney general race District attorney moves to replace Cynthia Coffman STAFF REPORT

Citing the bowing out of state Attorney General Cynthia Coffman from the race to keep her seat, Republican George Brauchler announced his switch from the 2018 race for governor to vie for the attorney general spot. Brauchler, district attorney for the 18th Judicial District, has positioned himself, so far, as the only conservative in the race to replace Coffman, a Republican, in the November 2018 election. “Progressives on the other side of the political aisle had spent many months raising mountains of cash to capture the position that plays such a

vital role in protecting our state and way of life,” Brauchler said in an emailed statement. Brauchler presently faces five opponents, all Democrats, according to filings with the Colorado Secretary of Brauchler State’s Office: Michael Dougherty, the assistant district attorney for the 1st Judicial District, which includes Jefferson and Gilpin counties; Brad Levin, an attorney in Denver; Amy Padden, former assistant Colorado attorney general and former executive assistant United States attorney for the District of Colorado; state Rep. Joe Salazar, a civil rights attorney from Thornton; and Philip Weiser, former deputy assistant attorney general in the Obama administration. Referencing concern from friends,

supporters and members of the business community about the possibility of a progressive, activist attorney general, Brauchler said the office is “a powerful position that must not fall into the hands of someone who would use it to advance extreme ideological positions, to legislate through litigation or to pick winners and losers in our economy.” Brauchler’s Nov. 13 annoucement came less than a week after Coffman announced her bid for governor Nov. 8. Brauchler was elected district attorney in 2012 and re-elected after running unopposed in 2016. The 18th Judicial District encompasses Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties. He gained nationwide recognition for prosecuting the case against Aurora theater shooter James Holmes, calling the case “the biggest trial in

the history of the state.” Brauchler has lived in Colorado for 45 years, currently residing in Parker with his wife and four children. He attended the University of Colorado, Boulder, and later graduated from the University of Colorado School of Law. He is a colonel in the Colorado Army National Guard. Brauchler on April 5 had announced his candidacy for governor. He said Gov. John Hickenlooper has showed a “lack of real leadership at the state level.” Brauchler said he wants tougher sentences for violent criminals. During his run for governor, Brauchler said he would push for stronger minimum sentences for DUI and homicide offenders. Coffman enters a gubernatorial race that has more than 20 candidates seeking to replace John Hickenlooper, a term-limited Democrat.

Some of those policies also effectively nullified the local teachers’ union. After the collective bargaining agreement expired in 2012, the union and district were unable to agree on a contract. Until then, the union and district had enjoyed a relationship that was acclaimed nationally for its collaboration and willingness to work together, helping produce one of the nation’s first pay-for-performance programs in 1994. Bringing the union back was a hot topic that reform-minded candidates outwardly opposed. In early October, a national teachers union, American Federation of Teachers, donated $300,000 to a Douglas County-based committee that backed anti-reform candidates. Current board members don’t have plans to bring the Douglas County Federation back into the school district, Ray said. But he supports teachers who want to join the union. “None of us have the desire to have the union have a greater influence in terms of how decisions are made,” Ray said. “The bottom line is we are going to listen to everyone that has a stake in educating children.” The Douglas County Federation is a member-driven organization, said Kallie Leyba, president of Douglas County Federation and a former teacher. She declined to comment on the number of members. “What is most important is that all teachers and staff have the resources they need to serve their students,” she said. “... it will be up to our members to determine our path forward.” Looking ahead A shift in direction began to take place on the Douglas County School Board in 2015, when Ray, Vogel and Lemieux won the vote. The result since has been a divided board, with votes frequently falling 4-3 in favor of the reform-minded members — Silverthorn, James Geddes, Judith Reynolds and Steven Peck,

none of whom ran for re-election. Reynolds had hoped for a different outcome on Election Night. “I’m disappointed, I thought it would be a lot closer,” she said. “My hope is that we continue to give our students an excellent education and we focus on our students and not the adults in the system.” Many parents, teachers and community members, however, are excited about what lies ahead. They are hopeful that the school board’s shift in power will bring back a district that they say focuses on students and staff. “The failed reform experiment conducted by the previous board members has underserved our children and resulted in the loss of valuable educational opportunities,” said Jason Virdin, spokesman of the activist group Douglas County Parents, formed in 2013 to represent parents and community members who oppose the reforms, in a statement following the Nov. 7 election. “We are excited to begin a new chapter in DCSD that puts students and learning at the center of all decision-making and leaves politics at the door.”

MENTAL HEALTH STATISTICS According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment, Vital Statistics survey, 2015:

8.1 Number of opioid deaths per 100,000 Colorado residents

4.6 Number of opioid deaths per 100,000 Douglas County residents

19.1 Number of suicide deaths per 100,000 in Colorado

Group aims to boost Coloradans’ mental health STAFF REPORT

Colorado routinely makes the list as one of the physically healthiest states in the union, but a new effort by the organization Mental Health Colorado strives to make Colorado the mentally healthiest state too. The group’s president, former Colorado state Rep. Andrew Romanoff, said the new data dashboard that just launched on the group’s website offers Coloradans a chance to see where they stand in terms of mental health and substance abuse disorders. “Previously you would have had to go to several dozen sources to get all this information,” said Romanoff. The dashboard — available at www.mentalhealthcolorado.org/dashboard/ — presents information including suicide rates and prevention, mental health issues, opioid overdose rates and even barriers to care. The information is sortable by county, and links to the source documents. The results are middling. Colorado continues to rank below average for psychiatric beds per captia, and has a persistently higher rate of drug and alcohol addiction, along with a higher suicide rate. “We’re also below the national average for funding on treatment,” Romanoff said. Mental Health Colorado’s intent in putting out the dashboard is to reduce the stigma and increase public awareness of mental health disorders, including substance abuse disorders like those caused by the opiate epidemic. A second goal, according to Romanoff, is to hopefully “accelerate a solution” by inspiring

‘We’re trying to show that if you treat mental illness you can save lives.’ Andrew Romanoff, President of Mental Health Colorado and former state representative

and empowering the public, mental health organizations and government at all levels into action. Last week Eagle County voters passed a marijuana tax measure by a nearly 3-1 margin, generating $1.2 million in new mental health funding. “We’re trying to show that if you treat mental illness you can save lives,” said Romanoff. In a press statement, Mental Health Colorado Research Director, Dr. Sarah Davidon said, “Our data dashboard will assess mental health and substance use issues facing children, adolescents, and adults in Colorado to inform policy decisions.” The group estimates more than one million Coloradans experience a mental health or substance use disorder each year. Fewer than half get treatment. Romanoff says the cause of improving mental health is personal for him. A cousin committed suicide on New Years

Day in 2015 after struggling with mental illness. “She hid those symptoms really well, even from us,” Romanoff said. “If she had any other condition, a bump, a lump, she wouldn’t have hid it from us, and we wouldn’t have hesitated to get her care.” The dashboard is not without its limitations. Romanoff acknowledges that some of the studies used to compile the data are not done annually, and some rely on self reporting. Overall, he said the size of Colorado’s mental health needs are probably only conservatively reflected in the dashboard figures. Beyond the data, the website includes a tab for individuals looking for ways to connect to local officials to advocate for change, and also a tab for people to share their personal stories of struggling with mental health — both things that Romanoff says the group hopes will spark real change for the better.

After raising and loving alpacas for almost 10 years and learning all about the warmth and beauty of items made from alpaca fleece, Kate Blackburn said it seemed natural to bring the Antelope Alpacas Fiber Arts Center to Main Street in Elizabeth. “We moved to 40 acres in the Elizabeth area in 2005 and looked into raising animals,” she said. “We spent about 18 months learning about alpacas.

Not just a man’s job Female farmers hold important roles in ag industry BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Danell Kalcevic was in kindergarten, an assignment asked her to describe what she wanted to be when she grows up. “It sounds silly,” Kalcevic, 48, said, but what she put on the assignment was a farmer’s wife. Fast forward and Kalcevic is partowner of Kalcevic Farms, which are located near Bennett and Lindon in eastern Colorado. Their primary crop is wheat, but they also farm corn, millet, sunflowers and cattle feed. The farm has been in Kalcevic’s husband’s family since it got its start near Denver in the 60th Avenue and Pecos Street area in 1898. It has been at the Bennett location since 1952. “I love that it’s something we can do as a family,” Kalcevic said. “It takes a team to do what we do. In this country, it’s families that make up the farms.” In April 2002, Kalcevic left her career as a project and product manager with Horizon Software to stay home with her two children. It was then that she

slowly started picking up some tasks involving the operations of the farm. And now, she is an integral part of it. Since the beginning of farming, women have been involved with the family farm behind the scenes — cooking, cleaning, bookkeeping, Kalcevic said. “But because it’s always been men in the equipment and running the machinery, it’s been assumed that it’s men running the farm,” she added. However, in today’s world, there are more women operating farms and pursuing high-end careers in the agriculture industry. “The independent female can go out and start her own farm,” said Colleen Peppler, a retired educator who is a partner of Peppler Farms in Weld County. “It doesn’t have to be a man.” Leveling the playing field According to the latest Census of Agriculture — which is conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture — 30 percent of the nation’s farmers were women in 2012, up from 27 percent a decade earlier. These female farmers controlled 7 percent of the farmland in the U.S. The Census of Agriculture is conducted every five years, and the 2017 census will be done this winter. In Colorado, the USDA states that women farmers make up 37 percent of the state’s producers. There are 21,443 women farmers in Colorado who farm more than 13 million acres.

The entire Kalcevic family is involved with the operations of the family farm. Pictured are Tabor, 19, and Asia, 16. Tabor is studying soil and crop science and agriculture business at CSU. COURTESY PHOTO “We’re starting to see a very level playing field,” said Jennifer Tucker, the small acreage agent for CSU Extension in Adams County. “Ranchers and farmers within the agriculture industry don’t see it as a man’s industry.” Peppler Farms consists of four locations in Weld County near Mead. In August, one of the farms was honored at the Colorado State Fair by the Colorado Department of Agriculture and History Colorado as a Centennial Farm — meaning the farm has been in the family for 100 years.

QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

Jennifer went shopping on her own, and picked up everything we needed for a wonderful homemade meal, including something called a “salad kit.” A salad kit comes in a clear bag, so you can see what’s in it. What’s in it is washed and chopped lettuce, and a number of washed and chopped vegetables, and a small plastic sleeve filled with dressing. All you have to do is empty the salad on the plates. Of course, you pay for the convenience. The vegetables, purchased separately, would cost half as much. But the vegetables would take far longer to wash and chop, and aren’t we all in a

hurry? “Edna. Where is he going with this one?” “I wish I knew, Merle.” Which brings me to an expression. It simplifies everything, just like a salad kit. It is inclusive, which saves you the trouble of a full, vivid explanation. Here it comes. Do you have a “go-to” restaurant? Do you have a “go-to” sweater, or a “go-to” purse? If you have been around the block with me, you already know how I feel about shortcuts when it comes to this blessed plot, this realm, this English.

Ixnay glib acronyms, is what I say. Ixnay truncations. When someone says “go-to,” sure, it saves words, but the art of conversation is reduced to a sleeve of Honey Mustard. I can’t track down the expression’s etymology anywhere. So I am going to blame it on New York City. That’s where a lot of these expressions get their start. The first time I heard “in a New York minute,” I thought it was clever. Now? Not so much. SEE SMITH, P13

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Time to get to work As the new school board of Douglas County takes office, it is time to put into action where they have complained for years about reform not working. Do they have a better plan? Do they have a plan to heal the wounds they complained about and unify the community so we can move forward to better educate our students? Some of the reform changes have been positive and hopes are that the new group doesn’t dismantle everything. Voters have given them an opportunity to put into action where their mouths have complained for years. For the sake of our students, hope is this change will move forward in a positive note and secure needed funds for our schools. Your chance is here to back up your complaints! Good luck!

Strive for excellence With the partisan rhetoric of the schoolboard elections behind us, it’s time to ask, “will changes proposed by either side actually improve our schools?” While the new, anti-reform board will surely work to erase missteps from the past years, I challenge them to become reformers themselves. There are deeper issues than school choice, teacher turnover and merit pay. This isn’t time for relativism; simply making the schools “better” than they were under the previous board won’t cut it. We need to strive for excellence in the absolute sense. One example that comes to mind is Thomas McLaren School in Colorado Springs. Despite being founded in 2009 as a charter with less per-student revenue and more minority and economically disadvantaged students than any DougCo high

thoughts for this column I remembered a story I had once been told. There was a young boy who would walk with his fishing pole, tackle box, and a large bucket. When asked why he was bringing such a large bucket, the young boy would optimistically and enthusiastically said that one day he had caught so many fish, but sadly he didn’t have a big enough bucket to carry the fish home. And he promised himself that he would

never let that happen again. Most days he came home with an empty pail or one or two fish, and a little downhearted, but day after day, he could be found walking enthusiastically with the same bucket, fishing pole and tackle box and when asked he would energetically respond with, “This will be the day that I catch enough fish to fill this big bucket.” You see, he had tasted success before and wanted to experience it again. He planned and prepared

Keep an eye on what’s important in retirement

veryone is afraid of the unknown. And since we will retire very differently from our parents or our grandparents, there are a lot of unknowns for baby boomers planning or entering retirement. The questions are getting Patricia Kummer advisors lately have turned from numbers to feelings. In the last 30 years of preparing people for retirement, the trend has shifted from “Will I have enough money?” to “Will I have enough time?” This sounds strange at first, since the money question is normal, but don’t you have more time than ever in retirement? And time for what? You fill in the blank. Enough time to find purpose again. Enough time to make an impact, to pass

on knowledge, a legacy, to share ideas. Enough time to get things in order to pass along, to spend meaningful time with family and friends or just to do the things you always dreamed of. No matter what resources you need in retirement — time, money, knowledge, health or activities, it will work out best if you plan for it. That’s right, retirement planning is not just about money. Yes, it is important to have a nest egg and a source of income, but more and more, people are seeking purpose. Will they be able to create, improve, teach, help or care for someone? These ideas may take a different view of resources and what they are meant to provide. Money, after all, is just a tool to get you the things you want and need. If you adjust your wants and needs to match your resources, you can focus on the fun things. Many retirees find their regular needs have changed and they like to have something of interest to replace

SMITH

It’s called “phonetic reversal.” David Lynch experimented with it in “Twin Peaks.” You can also find it in “Amadeus.” Mozart says a number of phonetically reversed phrases, and many of them are vulgar. There’s a woman who works at my grocery store who says, “Have a good one, hon,” to every man, woman, and child she sees. Doesn’t she know? Doesn’t she know that there are a million and one things she could say? “Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love.” (George Eliot) “The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.” (Charles Dickens) “What’s so good about good-bye?” (Smokey Robinson and the Miracles) If she started to say things like that, I would shop there twice a day. “Have a good one, Honey Mustard.” Even that is an improvement.

And neither is “not so much.” Don’t get me wrong. If I were on an airplane and we were headed into a mountain, I would truncate all over the place. Have you ever had a disagreement with someone that ended when he said or she said, “Whatever”? Don’t try that around me. It’s very dismissive. Americans keep it simple. The English, on the other hand, value words. I admit that I can’t always understand what they are saying, but it sure sounds eloquent. Whenever I watch a film that features English actors, I turn on the closed caption feature. It’s a must. “Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government,” comes from Monty Python, and until I read the caption it sounded like something being said backwards.

school, it has shown that fostering a true love of learning translates into achievement. Students are instructed to “know truth, create beauty, and practice goodness.” Their teachers are committed to a mission more than to a paycheck (starting teachers are paid about 30 percent less than starting DougCo teachers). While I think top teachers should be paid $80,000-plus, having teachers passionate enough to teach for beans is more of a justification for high pay than simply logging 20 years of “experience.” As long as we keep an isolated view of our own school system’s potential, our schools – and students – will not

that need with. Maybe they are down to one or two cars — instead of three or four. Maybe they find they don’t use all the things they have stored for 30 years and those can be used to provide for someone else. Maybe they have books or memoirs that can help educate others. There are many ways retirees can be challenging themselves. And this often changes the focus to more pleasant alternatives than worrying about the next stock market event. The baby boomers will be the most educated generation to retire. This is also a group of people who grew up with investing. Therefore, the idea of their money working for them when they are not, is not foreign. Our financial advisors don’t spend as much time working on explaining the time value of money as they do about mapping out a strategy to attain holistic goals. This may be turning a hobby into a business; volunteering at a school or helping family. Many of our clients have artistic tal-

FARMERS

A group of students admire turkeys at the Colorado Agricultural Leadership Foundation’s (CALF) Lowell Ranch. Lowell Ranch is a working, educational ranch in Castle Rock.

FROM PAGE 11

Peppler Farms produce corn used for livestock feed, wheat, alfalfa hay and beer barley for Coors. Peppler’s father was a wheat farmer in eastern Colorado, so she has been hands-on with farm operations since she was about 13, she said. In fact, she and her two sisters were her father’s “harvest crew,” Peppler said. And Kalcevic’s two daughters, Tabor, 19, and Asia, 16, are also very much involved in their family farm’s operations. “Often, when people think of a farmer, they think of a man,” Tabor Kalcevic said. But “when women step into these roles, they can really shine.” Tabor is currently a sophomore at CSU in Fort Collins pursuing a bachelor’s degree with a double major in soil and crop science and agriculture business. She hopes to someday become the CEO of Kalcevic Farms. “Women bring a different perspective to any industry,” Tabor Kalcevic said. Different, in a good way though, she added. “A strong work ethic is what gets you there.”

More than ranching, farming There is a lot of interest among young women wanting to enter a career in agriculture, said Brooke Fox, CEO of the Colorado Agricultural Leadership Foundation, also known as CALF. Career fields pertaining to agriculture are just about endless, she said. Careers can be anything from veterinarians, livestock produc-

ers and crop scientists to lawyers, media relations, mechanics and those who develop the new technologies for modern-day equipment, said Fox, who grew up on a cattle ranch near Larkspur. “It’s not just ranching and farming,” she said. “No matter what your interests are, you can find a place in agriculture.” CALF is a nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting people of all ages and abilities to agriculture through educational programs, community projects and special events. Since 2009, CALF has served more than 19,000 children, Fox said, and annually, between 10 and 15 students in 4-H or members of Future Farmers of America raise livestock at the foundation’s working educational ranch, Lowell Ranch, in Castle Rock. “Every person on the planet relies on agriculture in some form,” Fox said. “We need everyone to be think-

ing about our future and how to produce healthy, safe food.” Both Danell Kalcevic and Peppler are volunteers with a group called CommonGround, which is a national grassroots movement designed to help bridge the gap between the women who grow food and the women who buy it. For the most part, it is still primarily women who do the grocery shopping for most households in the U.S., Peppler said. Therefore, she added, women “are a keen ear of knowing what consumers want.” CommonGround volunteers share their personal experiences, science and research to help consumers sort through the growing number of myths and misinformation surrounding food and farming. “We’re the ones who start conversations in the grocery store,” Peppler said. “This is our career. And we take the responsibility of growing the nation’s food very seriously.”

A greater understanding Most people today are between four and five generations removed from agriculture, Fox said. She added that unlike in the past, it is uncommon for the majority of today’s children to have a grandparent who grew up on a farm. This means that people are becoming “less and less aware of where their food comes from,” Fox said. Most of today’s society is far removed from producing its own food, Kalcevic said. “The further removed we are, the more fearful we become” of the food we eat, Kalcevic said. “CommonGround helps consumers understand that farmers are regular people who are eating the same food that everybody else is serving their families.” There are a lot of misconceptions out there about what farmers and ranchers do, said Tucker, who lives on a small-acreage ranch near Bennett and raises sheep and horses. But overall, man or woman, “everybody in the agriculture industry wants a safe food supply,” Tucker said. Although production agriculturalists are a small percentage of the U.S. population, she said, no matter if you’re in Denver or New York, through social media, you can connect with someone who knows a rancher or farmer. And most likely, they would be willing to bring you out to their ranch or farm to help you better understand the industry and where your food comes from, Tucker said. “We’d love to show you what we do,” she said, “because we’re pretty proud of it.”

NORTON FROM PAGE 12

Somewhere along the way, we caught so many fish we couldn’t fill our bucket. We tasted success and we knew what we did to achieve that success. It probably included planning, preparing and expecting to win. So today, right now, right in this very moment, each and every one of us has the ability to succeed as we pursue our worthy goals. And remember that Earl Nightingale defines success this way, “Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal.”

Back to our fishing story. On one side of the lake we have the young optimistic boy and his large bucket. On the other side of the lake we have a man catching fish and only keeping the small fish, throwing all of the larger fish back into the lake. When a confused fellow fishing enthusiast questioned the man throwing back the larger fish, the fisherman reached into his backpack and displayed a very small frying pan. He shared that he couldn’t keep the larger fish because he was only prepared to catch and cook the smaller fish. I am confident that you have connected the dots here. As we plan and prepare for future success, we need to keep our success bucket available.

Local Focus. More News.

We need to plan, prepare, and expect to win. We need to know that there will be some days where we get shut out, meet with setbacks, and we need to remind ourselves that failure is an event, and it doesn’t define who we are as a person. We need to remind ourselves that if we expect only little wins, that is exactly what we will achieve. Now little wins are OK, they do add up over time. However, if we are planning for future success, a bigger job, a larger home, a significant role in our community or church, a substantial change in our earnings or income, whatever that big success looks like in our future, let’s make sure we are carrying our success bucket with us as we travel to fish in

all of the ponds, lakes and oceans of our life. How about you? Can you build upon your successes of yesterday? Are you properly positioned to succeed today? Are you planning, preparing, and expecting to win tomorrow? I would really love to hear all of our community success stories at gotonorton@gmail.com and when our success bucket is ready to be filled, 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.

The Arvada Center is celebrating the holiday season with a classic family story, “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

he holidays mean something different to everyone, but if there’s one thing that most can agree on, it is that they should be spent with the people who mean the most to us. And as far as activities go for the holidays, few are better than sharing the community and thrill of live theater. “The holidays are the time of year when people are busiest, so it’s really special that they make time to be together at the theater,” said Josh Hartwell, a playwright

and actor who has written two holiday shows this season — one at Lakewood’s The Edge Theater and Golden’s Miners Alley Playhouse. “It makes you feel closer to the people you care about when you make time to do things with them.” This time of year, theater-goers have a variety of options to select from — more traditional to dark comedies and shows that highlight holiday themes, like “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” which is playing at the Arvada Center. “’Joseph’ is a great family-oriented show, with some wonderful

But when Record Store Day started making exclusive releases on Black Friday, everything changed. “It’s been a big helpto use, and we do triple what we used to on that Friday,” he said. “Suddenly, Black Friday is relevent to us again.” During the Record COMING Store Day Black ATTRACTIONS Friday event, independent record stores like all three of Angelo’s locations, Twist and Shout, Black and Read, Wax Trax, and others will open at much more reasonable hours (usually around 8 a.m.) to sell limited versions of Clarke Reader unique releases on vinyl, tapes and CDs. Some items sure to go first include a 7-inch single of “Baby It’s Cold Outside” by local favorites Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, Neil Young’s “Harvest Moon” on two LPs, and Gorillaz’s latest album, “Humanz,” on two LP picture discs. “We have doughnuts and other treats for the first people who arrive, and there will be live music at some locations,” Coiro said. “There are also sales and specials we’ll have going all weekend.” Go to www.recordstoreday.com to find the store nearest you, compile a wishlist, and make a plan for the day.

Smoothie King opens in Highlands Ranch

Castle Rock store to open in December, with four more stores planned in five years

Smoothie King opened in early November at the Highlands Ranch Town Center. A second store is set to open in December, with four additional stores planned in the next five years.

STAFF REPORT

The first Smoothie King franchise in the Denver area opened in early November in Highlands Ranch. The nation’s originator in offering “Smoothies with a Purpose” will open a second location in December in Castle Rock, and plans to add four additional stores in the next five years. “The Denver Metro area has been an appealing location for Smoothie King to develop for a number of years due to the active and healthy lifestyles that many people embrace here,” Kerry Dray, Denver operator for Smoothie King, said in a news release. Dray is an avid fitness enthusiast and certified yoga instructor. She has partnered with her aunt, Susan Dray, to open the Denver-metro franchises. Together, the two plan to help provide Denverites with meal replacement

Seuss’ most popular stories, including “Horton Hears a Who,” “The Cat in the Hat,” “The One-Feathered Tail of Miss Gertrude McFuzz” and “Horton Hatches an Egg.” “Christmas and the end-of-year holiday celebrations are all about family, and there is a long-time tradition of families sharing certain productions together, passing the experience on to new generations to share,” said Bob Wells, director of the show. “’A Christmas Carol’ and ‘The Nutcracker’ are the champions, and I hope ‘Seussical,’ with its story, music, dance, sets and costumes, will become part of the merry tradition.” Those looking for more off kilter fare can check out “The SantaLand

and snack solutions that are purposeful, no matter what goal someone is trying to achieve, whether it be to lose weight, gain muscle, stay well or simply take a break. Located in the Highlands Ranch Town Center, Smoothie King is at 1100 Sgt. Jon Stiles Drive, Suite 101. The Castle Rock store is at 1341 New Beale St., Suite 130. Both locations are accepting applications for employment. The stores offer sports beverages, energy bars, vitamin supplements

and more. As part of its health-focus, Smoothie King also recently announced its Cleaner Blending initiative. At the centerpiece of the new initiative, Smoothie King will remove added sugar from more than 50 smoothies and will remove artificial flavors, artificial colors, artificial preservatives, and added hormones from all smoothie ingredients and introduce non-GMO fruits and veggies.

Diaries” at The Jones at the Denver Center for Performing, based on David Sedaris’ experiences from his stint as a Macy’s elf in New York City, and the world premiere of “Resolutions,” written by Hartwell and directed by Missy Moore at The Edge. “The idea was to create a holiday show that wasn’t really about the holidays,” Hartwell said. “It’s kind of a Quentin Tarantino holiday show. It’s something unlike everything else out there.” The show is about three middleaged couples who meet up after the holidays at a cabin in Vail. Each year their social event includes exchanging white elephant gifts, making their resolutions for the upcoming year and, of course, some drinking. But as relationships change, so does the event. “It’s a black comedy, but it has some grimness, too,” Hartwell added.

For the traditionalists, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts’ production of “A Christmas Carol” is a perennial favorite, and hard to top. But for a more personal approach, Hartwell adapted Charles Dickens’ classic for Miners Alley in Golden. His version follows six local actors who challenge each other to bring Dickens’ classic to life as swiftly and simply as possible. This allows for a blending of the classic elements of the fable to mix with modern sensibilities. “The journey is so interesting, and I think Scrooge is more complex than people realize,” said Jim Hunt, who plays the miser in the production. “People who come to our show are going to see something fresh and new. In the end, it’s about family and coziness, and that fits with the holiday season.”

“Our goal is to illuminate and shed some light on where this album comes from, because there are so many albums that aren’t just another pop record or another rap record or another indie rock record.” Visit www.drafthouse.com/denver/ theater/sloans-lake. A musical Thanksgiving tradition On Thanksgiving Day 1976, The Band — the musical group responsible for classics like “The Weight” and “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” — played its final concert at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom, with visits from rock royalty like Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell and more. The ensuing film, directed by Martin Scorsese, and live album have gone down as one of the best live recordings in rock history. In 2005, Polytoxic, a jam band based in Denver, came up with the idea of reenacting the movie on stage to highlight the quality of area musicians. That first concert on May 25 included 16 guest musicians and a four-piece horn section, and sold out in minutes. So the group decided to hold a repeat performance the night before Thanksgiving — and they’ve been doing it ever since. Now in its 13th year, The Last Waltz Revisited will be on Friday, Nov. 17, at the Boulder Theater, 2032 14th St., and on Nov. 22 (the night before Thanksgiving) at the Fillmore Auditorium, 1510 N. Clarkson St. The show will feature more than 50 musicians and a full horn section, all from the Denver music scene. A portion of the proceeds go to support the Denver Rescue Mission, and information and tickets can be found at www.lastwaltzrevisited.com. A how-to for a snack for the holidays Thanksgiving is so centered on food that having a few easy, go-to recipes in your pocket is always a good idea. The Museo de Las Americas, located at 861 Santa Fe Drive, can help you prepare a delicious snack with a Caliente: Craft Your Own Salsa class from 10 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 18. Students will learn how to develop their own salsa recipe, and take it home with them after the class. To claim a spot in the class, call 303571-4401 or visit www.museo.org. The holiday blues Teller’s Tap Room is a hidden gem in Wheat Ridge, and in addition to its top-notch food and drinks, it’s a great place for live music on the weekends. At 7 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 19, the Delta Sonics band will be playing a show at the bar and grill at 1990 Youngfield St. The group has been named the best blues band in Denver during the Westword Magazine Music Showcase every year from 2011 through 2016.

Study: Over-the-counter pain pills as effective as opioids T ER patients were given ibuprofen and acetaminophen together BY LINDSEY TANNER ASSOCIATED PRESS

Emergency rooms are where many patients are first introduced to powerful opioid painkillers, but what if doctors offered over-the-counter pills instead? A new study tested that approach on patients with broken bones and sprains and found pain relievers sold as Tylenol and Motrin worked as well as opioids at reducing severe pain. The results challenge common ER practice for treating short-term, severe pain and could prompt changes that would help prevent new patients from becoming addicted. The study has limitations: It only looked at short-term pain relief in the emergency room and researchers didn’t evaluate how patients managed their pain after leaving the hospital. But given the scope of the U.S. opioid epidemic — more than 2 million Americans are addicted to opioid painkillers or heroin — experts say any dent in the problem could be meaningful. Results were published Nov. 7 in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Long-term opioid use often begins with a prescription painkiller for short-term pain, and use of these drugs in the ER has risen in recent years. Previous studies have shown opioids were prescribed in nearly onethird of ER visits and about 1 out of 5 ER patients are sent home with opioid prescriptions. “Preventing new patients from becoming addicted to opioids may have

t a h C a i t e D P p Y a greater effect on the opioid epidemic P than providing sustained treatment o to patients already addicted,” Dr. w Demetrios Kyriacou, an emergency p medicine specialist at Northwestern p University, wrote in an accompanying t editorial. w The study involved 411 adults i treated in two emergency rooms at e Montefiore Medical Center in New o York City. Their injuries included leg w and arm fractures or sprains. d All were given acetaminophen, m the main ingredient in Tylenol, plus either ibuprofen, the main ingredient L in Motrin, or one of three opioids: oxycodone, hydrocodone or codeine. e They were given standard doses and N were not told which drug combo they 2 a received. Patients rated their pain levels before taking the medicine and H m two hours later. $ On average, pain scores dropped t from almost 9 on a 10-point scale to about 5, with negligible differences C between the groups. Ibuprofen and acetaminophen affect p different pain receptors in the body so using the two drugs together may w be especially potent, said Dr. Andrew E Chang, an emergency medicine pro- C C fessor at Albany Medical College in upstate New York, who led the study. I p He noted that a pill combining ibuprofen and acetaminophen is avail- a able in other countries; his findings d echo research from Canada and Aus- f

Roy Halladay left good memories through years

Lions finish second at state tourney Lutheran posts runner-up finish in 3A; Chaparral advances to semifinals in 5A BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lutheran finished second in the Class 3A state volleyball tournament Nov. 10-11 at the Denver Coliseum, and the Lions are loaded with enough underclass talent for another visit to the Denver venue next season. Eaton won its fifth consecutive state championship with a 3-0 win over Lutheran in the championship match as the Reds swept with 25-16, 25-17 and 25-17 set wins. “I’m very proud of the season,” Lions coach Alicia Oates said. “Eaton is phenomenal. They’ve been strong for so many years and they continue to be strong. They are so disciplined and talented.” Lutheran beat Sterling, 3-1, and Bennett, 3-0, in pool play and swept Faith Christian, 3-0, in the semifinals to earn a chance to try to dethrone Eaton. “We were a young team,” Oates said. “We had three seniors on the team who were huge contributors that we will miss greatly, but it is exciting we have a lot of freshman and sophomores. The stage at state can’t be duplicated so being here definitely will help us.” SEE STATE, P31

alston Valley baseball coach Brad Madden grew up playing baseball with Roy Halladay. It didn’t take Madden long to realize that Halladay, who was his teammate at Arvada West, was a special player. Halladay, 40, was killed Nov. 7 when the OICON A5 sport aircraft he was piloting crashed into the Gulf of Mexico. He was a 1995 OVERTIME graduate of Arvada West and was a 17thround draft pick of the Toronto Blue Jays. He was an eight-time all-star with Toronto and Philadelphia and a Cy Young Award winner in both the Jim Benton American and National Leagues. “From the time I met Roy as a 9-year-old, he was a dominant pitcher, player and a fierce competitor,” Madden said. Halladay, who is one of only two pitchers to throw a post-season nohitter, had a 203-105 major league pitching record with a 3.38 earned run average. He was inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame in 2015 and likely will be a future inductee into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. SEE BENTON, P32

‘Roy’s success paved the way for Colorado players past and future to get a chance. Before him, it was unheard of for pro scouts to come to Colorado to find players. He put Colorado on the baseball map.’

FROM PAGE 24

“Baseball players in Colorado now could learn from him,” said Adams State baseball coach Jim Capra, who was Halladay’s coach at Arvada West. “Everything you hear about him at the major league level are the same as when he was young. “He was as good off the field as he was on the field. He was very coachable and a good teammate. He was very level-headed about the things he might do in the future.” Halladay was one of the reasons that pro baseball scouts and college recruiters now pay more attention to Colorado prospects. “Roy’s success paved the way for Colorado players past and future to get a chance,” added Madden. “Before him it was unheard of for pro scouts to come to Colorado to find players. He put Colorado on the baseball map. Roy was the hardest-working person I have ever known and he dedicated all his effort to making himself one of the best pitchers in Major League baseball history and a future Hall of Famer.” Halladay led Arvada West to the 1994 Class 6A state championship. The Wildcats lost to Cherry Creek in the 1995 5A title game but Halladay didn’t pitch because he was used in the semifinals. “He pitched as a freshman but his sophomore year is when he really opened eyes of coaches and players,” recalled Capra. “It was like going from high school to the major leagues in

one year. He has a great high school career and was one of the best players to come out of Colorado.” Phil Ross, a retired former high school and college umpire, called Halladay an exemplary individual who was universally well-liked by his peers and fans. He recalls working two games in which Halladay played. “The first time in did a Wildcats game he was a sophomore, playing first base and I was the base umpire,” recalled Ross. “He was the best player I officiated in a two-decade umpiring career but also the most polite. “The following season I was behind

the plate when Roy pitched a no-hitter. I didn’t realize it. As I was walking towards the parking lot an excited man exclaimed, “Do you know you just called a no-hitter?” I saw the line score the next day. I felt good.” Enrollment numbers Enrollment splits to determine which classifications schools will play in for the 2018-20 cycle were set by the Classification and League Organizing Committee on Nov. 7. I often hear coaches commenting about school size especially when playing a bigger school, so it was nice to see some figures, although enroll-

ment numbers don’t always translate into athletic success, especially with open enrollment. So to start with an easy question, what school has the largest enrollment? Yep, Cherry Creek with 3,654 students but which school is second? That would be Montbellow in far northeast Denver with 2,964. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.
