Proposed increase sparking concern Budget would raise assessments 6.3 percent By Ryan Boldrey

Program socializes, stimulates kids Kindermusik works wonders for local preschoolers By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Kindermusik has been around for 30 years and is taught in 70-plus countries, but for the first time is being offered by the Highlands Ranch Community Association. Geared for preschool children, the program helps to stimulate brain growth, build motor skills, and enhance social and emotional development through music. “Music is so powerful, and I don’t think people really appreciate that until they have been through a class like this (with their kids) and see it for themselves,” said Lisa Fultz, a Highlands Ranch resident who has been teaching Kindermusik in the Denver metro area for the past eight years.

Fultz teaches age-appropriate classes for four different age groups, from babies to pre-kindergarten. Classes at the Recreation Center at Eastridge meet once a week for 45 minutes and are filled with children’s sing-alongs, dancing, rhyming, stories and hands-on instrument play. Each class begins with a hello song and ends with a good-bye song, which really helps with both emotional growth and socialization, she said. At the “Laugh and Learn” course this past week, a half-dozen 3- and 4-yearolds sang songs about animals, emulated animal noises, rang bells, danced and leaped like frogs. Among those young students were cousins Harper Hofmeir, of Highlands Ranch, and Charlotte Hay, of Castle Pines North. “We were looking for an interactive music class for the two girls, something they could do together, and this seemed like a good fit for them,” said Harper’s mother, Lindsay Hofmeir. “There is an online program that goes with it too, so

we can also do some learning at home and we are going to take advantage of that.” It was just the second week of the four-week course, but Hofmeir said, “so far so good,” and added that the two women were already looking into what class their girls could next take together at one of the rec centers. For Fultz, who has a degree in vocal performance, teaching Kindermusik has been the perfect fit. “I found it late that I really love to teach, and I was teaching for the public schools on my substitute license and the No Child Left Behind act left me behind,” she said with a laugh. “I’ve really found a passion in it. I absolutely love it.” In addition to the “Laugh and Learn” course, the other age-appropriate sessions include “Cuddle and Bounce,” “Sing and Play” and “Giggle and Grow.” For more information, please visit www.kindermusik.com or www.hrcaonline.org.

Craft brewery’s opening on tap A first for Highlands Ranch, Grist welcomes public Nov. 2 By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com The first brews have been sampled and the grand opening is right around the corner for Highlands Ranch’s very first craft brewery. Grist Brewing Co., located across Town Center Drive from Shea Stadium at 9150 Commerce Center Circle, will open its doors to the public at noon, Nov. 2. “We’ve had a lot of walk-ins, people curious about whether we are open already,” said brewer/operator Rob Kevwitch. “It seems like there is a pretty good buzz out there. I will be happy when I don’t have to turn people away anymore.” The brewery, which will be open seven days a week, will have six beers on tap for the opening. They include the Staple India Pale Ale, Transition State Kolsch, Touch Line Brown, Niobrara Stout, Third Ring

There will be four-ounce taster sizes available for purchase for all six selections, 10-ounce snifters of the Belgian Strong, pints of the rest, and 64-ounce growlers of all. “We are hitting all the notes with the

opening,” said brewer Dustin Dahl. “We have everything from light to dark to strong, so there is a little something for everybody. We’ll be keeping it true to style with each of the brews but with our own little twist.” The brewery is all about local, said Brewery continues on Page 15

The Highlands Ranch Community Association finance committee earlier this month approved what would be the largest assessment increase since 2003 if it gets approved this November by the HRCA’s delegate body and board of directors. And while the organization’s directors each support the budget — one that would increase assessments 6.3 percent, raising the bill for residents $32, or $2.67 per month, to $540 annually — not all of the delegates agree with the call. The board met with delegates Oct. 15 in a heated meeting that saw a few delegates arguing that the increase was not justified. More than a couple used the argument that the economy was in bad shape and that residents could not afford the increase at this time, despite recent reports that have shown Douglas County’s unemployment rates have dropped to 5.6 percent and home values are skyrocketing. Fifty percent of residents don’t even use the facilities, so those that who don’t are subsidizing for the rest of the community that does, argued District 89 representative Suresh Damle. District 84 delegate Scott Poulson argued that the increase was nearly four times higher than the hike in the Consumer Price Index for last year. “So we should not give any consideration to prior years where we had no increase where there was a CPI increase,” asked HRCA controller Harry Daughters of Poulson. “We could do that but we are going to shortchange the future again. Right now our surplus would cover one month of operations. ... We could kick this can down the road again, but that is irresponsible for a community association to do that.” Finance committee chairman and HRCA director Jeff Suntken pointed out that if the association aligned its annual budget with the yearly CPI, assessments would be a lot higher than what they currently are or are proposed to be. “Over the long term, we’ve done better than that historically,” Suntken said, adding that for the last three years assessments were held in check despite CPI increases. Because the association is proposing an increase that exceeds the previous year’s CPI, however, it requires a two-thirds vote of the delegates, which could be another issue at getting the budget passed. In order to gain that vote there would need to be close to 21,000 lots represented in a yea vote in November, and only 17,000 lots were Budget continues on Page 15

St. Luke’s teens help after flood in Boulder Group does mission work at sister church By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Scott Pelletier, director of youth ministry at Boulder’s Mountain View United Methodist Church, has been leading mission trips all over the world for more than 20 years. He never thought he would see the day when he would be on the receiving end of such work, though. But after his church flooded a month ago, the calls for help started pouring in, and crews from Kansas, Missouri and Highlands Ranch have already made their way to Boulder to do whatever they can to help get things back to normal. “It’s quite remarkable to be wearing the other pair of shoes,” Pelletier said. “I’m just so grateful. It’s been absolutely amazing. The amount of work that has to be done is just so overwhelming. These groups have all truly been Godsends.” The lower level of the church was completely flooded due to an overflowing sewer, and the ground floor found itself in similar shape after the heavy rains were too much for the windows to sustain, causing numerous offices and Sunday-school rooms to flood. Pelletier expects it will be at least four months before things return to normal. And while many Douglas County School District students headed out of town over fall break, a total of 32 students, parents

and church members from St. Luke’s United Methodist in Highlands Ranch instead made their way to Boulder to help clean and paint the offices and Sunday-school rooms and prep the basement for tile work. “A lot of the water level was so high that it messed up all of the electrical work and a lot of the plumbing,” said Dave Laurvick, director of youth and young adult ministries at St. Luke’s. “Their youth group had also just been gifted a pool table, an air hockey table and a pingpong table and all that was ruined. But that was nothing compared to the 20-plus years of photographs from all the mission work they had done being lost. “You could just feel the pain, the emotional loss, and truly realize that this was just a microcosm of what so many people are going through up there. It was just astounding to see all of the devastation.” The silver lining, Laurvick said, was seeing the students from St. Luke’s reach out to the Boulder teens as they dove in without hesitation and did whatever they could to help out, while doing the best they could to put a smile on a few faces. One of those local teens who headed up was Mountain Vista sophomore Hannah Smith, who was accompanied by her brother Grant and their father. “I just really wanted to do something about it to help out,” she said, after a day that included moving furniture and paperwork out of 10 rooms. “I enjoy community service and it was good to be able to reach out. Some of the people had their homes damaged as well, including their pastor. I wanted to make a difference.”

Event will highlight STEM for girls

Longtime library director leaving LaRue’s new aim is to help improve facilities worldwide By Virginia Grantier

For-profit group to host event in Highlands Ranch By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Launched earlier this year, STEM Ventures has already reached over 500 middle and high school students in the Denver metro area, working to get them excited about careers in science, technology, engineering and math. The for-profit organization has plans on doubling that reach Nov. 2 as it hosts an event at Ranch View Middle School in Highlands Ranch, designed specifically to excite young girls about career fields in which women are extremely under-represented. “A lot of research at the federal level says that kids aren’t going into STEM careers because they never get exposed to what they are,” said Cindy Williams, director of STEM Ventures and former vice president for Newmont Mining Corp. “What we are doing with STEM Ventures is offering experiential learning opportunities to give kids that exposure and give them the chance to have that eureka moment where their eyes open wide and their future opens to something they otherwise might not have gotten into.” Part of that eye-opening has occurred on trips such as a recent one to the University of Wyoming’s pathology lab, where 55 students from around the metro area got to get hands-on and really begin to understand how to apply what they are learning in science class. Plans in the future, Williams said, call for about 25 trips per year to universities

Tidaback is an eighth-grader at Mountain Ridge Middle School in Highlands Ranch and Torres is an eighth-grader at North Middle School in Aurora. Courtesy photo as well as campuses of industry leaders as the program expands. On the morning of Nov. 2, from 9 a.m. until noon, the focus will be tailored specifically for young girls in the hopes that they can be part of the generation that can buck a trend that has translated to only 25 percent of STEM jobs in America being held by females, despite females making up nearly half the U.S. workforce. “What we want to do is get girls excited about changing the world, and show them how women have already changed the world by things they see and touch every day,” Williams said. “And we want to make it fun. There will be free prizes and giveaways, and plenty of hands-on opportunities for them

to get involved with science.” In addition, there will be a diverse panel of speakers at the event including Williams, United Launch Alliance engineer Tinesha Ross, Douglas County School District Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen and University of Colorado Ph.D. student Josephine Kilde, who has helped to drive STEM efforts in her native Kenya. Tables cost $50 for eight guests and individual seats cost $10 for adults and $5 for students.

Jamie LaRue, director of the Douglas County Libraries since 1990, has announced he will be leaving his position sometime in mid-January to pursue a schedule of worldwide traveling to give workshops on library innovations and other topics to libraries and possibly other organizations. LaRue says that two years ago he tried giving a professional talk for pay and enjoyed it. This year, LaRue using vacation time built up over 23 years, he is giving many more — enjoying locations ranging from Moscow to Boston to Sydney, Australia. “I learn a lot, it pays well, I meet fascinating people, and I have a chance to deeply explore new issues,” he stated in an Oct. 16 blog post. “In Douglas County, I helped one library district achieve excellence. What I’d really like to do next is help move MANY libraries in that direction. I got into this profession for love, and I’m still in love. This is the best time ever to be a librarian.” LaRue, a former president of the Colorado Library Association, has won various awards: Colorado Librarian of the Year in 1998; the Julie J. Boucher Award for Intellectual Freedom in 2000; the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce’s Business Person of the Year in 2003; and the National Council of Teachers of English/ Support for the Learning and Teaching of English Intellectual Freedom Award in 2004.

School district’s ranking stirs contention Incumbent, challenger differ on drop from top tier By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com School district leaders say there’s confusion surrounding a change in the Douglas County School District’s state rating — one that’s become a hot-button issue in the current school board campaign. DCSD lost its spot in the top tier of state school rankings during the 2009-10 academic year, dropping from “accredited with distinction” to its current “accredited.” Most Colorado school districts fall into the second-tier “accredited” category. Incumbent board member Meghann Silverthorn and other district leaders say DCSD is moving toward regaining the higher ranking, but cites a valuable service it’s providing disadvantaged students as a

key factor in not yet doing so. Silverthorn’s opponent, Ronda Scholting, says the district’s excuses fall flat and that a plan to elevate the rating is needed. The district’s ranking fell in the wake of a state law changing the way accreditation is determined, making it tougher to obtain the highest rating. Rankings are based on student test scores, academic growth of students, graduation rates, ACT scores, and some financial factors. Littleton, Lewis-Palmer and Academy are among the 19 Colorado districts ranked accredited with distinction. District leaders say its effort to regain the “distinction” ranking is affected by the comparatively lower test scores of the 3,000 students enrolled in the district’s Hope Online Learning Academy. The Hope Online students’ test scores were not tied to the accreditation process until 2010-11, a year after DCSD dropped

from the state’s top tier. Hope Online offers K-12 virtual learning to students statewide, most of whom have limited educational options and do not live in Douglas County. Started in 2005 in the tiny eastern Colorado town of Vilas, it rapidly outgrew its small founding district and began operating as a DCSD charter school with the 2008-2009 school year. Initially, the students’ test scores were not calculated as part of DCSD’s state results. That changed in 2010-11, when Colorado Department of Education officials said state law required the district to include Hope Online’s test results in its accreditation assessment. Less than half the Hope Online students were ranked “proficient” or “advanced” on the 2013 Transitional Colorado Assessment Program. But school officials say Hope Online students’ performance steadily has improved since joining DCSD. “If we wanted to, we could throw the

online and alternative schools under the bus and say we’d rather concentrate on our accreditation,” said Silverthorn, who believes DCSD eventually will regain the “distinction” status. “But are we focusing on test scores or on helping kids? The district is providing a valuable service and we’re doing right by these kids, and I think we should keep doing that. “I’m proud of the way Hope Online has grown in the last few years.” Scholting doesn’t think Hope Online is an adequate reason for the lost rating, which she said may deter families from choosing DCSD. “My concern has been that the board seems to be more into talking about who’s to blame rather than worrying about getting it back,” she said. “They have never talked about solutions. Quit pointing fingers. If it is important to you as a district — which I think it should be — then figure out how to get it back.”

School foundation’s nonprofit status questioned Parent files IRS complaint with campaign allegation By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com A Douglas County parent filed a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service Oct. 14 alleging improper activity by the Douglas County Educational Foundation. Susan Arnold contends that recent activities by the DCEF — the Douglas County School District’s fundraising arm — violate the organization’s nonprofit status. “I believe that this 501(c)(3) organization has been involved in political campaigning and deceptive and improper fundraising practices,” Arnold wrote in a letter accompanying the tax-exempt organization complaint. DCEF interim executive director Cina-

mon Watson, also the school district’s community relations officer, says the allegation is baseless. “This is absolutely frivolous and ridiculous,” she wrote in an emailed response. “The attacks on the Douglas County Educational Foundation are abysmal and a pathetic attempt to draw an outstanding organization into the political fray. There is not a single fact or accusation that creates a legal liability for DCEF.” In her formal filing, Arnold alleges the foundation “is soliciting direct donations for activities that do not support its mission or objectives as a nonprofit organization. These funds are being used to support political activity.” Arnold’s complaint stems from the Douglas County School District’s late September acknowledgment that it used funds donated to the DCEF to pay consultants. Those consultants include former U.S.

Secretary of Education Bill Bennett and the American Enterprise Institute’s Rick Hess, who supported the district’s current direction in papers both wrote and in Bennett’s Sept. 25 speech. Neither Bennett’s address nor Hess’ paper initially were identified as products of paid DCSD consultants. “In my opinion, (the foundation’s) actions constitute behavior aimed at distinguishing candidates for election,” Arnold said. “There is widespread concern in the district that funds have not been appropriately allocated as people expected.” Watson said the foundation is not worried about a potential IRS investigation. “DCEF takes its obligations as a taxexempt organization very seriously and we welcome any review that the Internal Revenue Service might choose to conduct — at anytime, anywhere,” Watson wrote. “We are confident that once the service

has the true facts, it will quickly disregard this factually false and legally meritless claim made in the midst of a spirited election season.” Regardless of the ruling on her complaint, Arnold believes the foundation has damaged its reputation. “When all of those funds get funneled through the DCEF, you feel the trust has been violated in terms of how the foundation is managing themselves,” she said. A copy of Hess’ paper — “The Most Interesting School District in America?” — recently was delivered to many Douglas County residences with a letter of endorsement for the four board-supported candidates signed by state lawmakers Sen. Ted Harvey, Rep. Frank McNulty and Rep. Polly Lawrence. The letter notes it is paid for by the Douglas County Education Alliance, a nonprofit organization that has paid for TV and newspaper ads supporting DCSD.

Campaign funds tell sharply different stories Candidates backing current board get little local financial support By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Two wealthy school-choice advocates from outside Douglas County have provided almost all the campaign contributions for the four school-board candidates supporting the direction of the current board. Oilman Alex Cranberg, of Austin, Texas, and investment fund president Ralph Nagel, of Denver, have donated about 90 percent of the campaign dollars collected by current board supporters Doug Benevento, Jim Geddes, Judi Reynolds and Meghann Silverthorn. Each of the four candidates got a combined $35,000 from Cranberg and Nagel. Those large, non-local donations are among the stark contrasts in the schoolboard race revealed by the Colorado Secretary of State’s Oct. 15 campaign-finance reports. In all, the four candidates who support the current board’s policies have raised about $157,000, nearly four times

donations to douglas county school board candidates Here is the total amount raised by candidates supporting the current school board: Doug Benevento: $40,010 (23 donations) Jim Geddes: $38,797.50 (12 donations) Judi Reynolds: $38,731.50 (22 donations) Meghann Silverthorn: $39,162.50 (27 donations) Total: $156,701.50 (84 donations)

as much as the opposing slate’s accumulated $42,500. Most of the donations to opposition candidates Barbra Chase, Bill Hodges, Julie Keim and Ronda Scholting — who support a change in the current board’s direction — are in small increments of $50 or less. The vast majority of those identified contributions are from Douglas County residents. Chase, Hodges, Keim and Scholting received a combined 556 individual donations, dwarfing the 84 total checks written to the pro-board candidates. Pro-board candidates also received a total of $12,000 from three other sources — current board member Craig Richardson, Colorado Christian University president William Armstrong and Carrie

C-470 expansion set to ‘RAMP’ up CDOT funds to cover half the cost of construction By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com The first phase of the C-470 expansion project shifted into high gear this past week following the awarding of $100 million in RAMP funding on behalf of the Colorado Department of Transportation. The expansion project, which will add a managed toll express lane in each direction between Interstate 25 and Kipling Parkway, is the recipient of the largest amount of money among 44 statewide projects to receive Responsible Acceleration of Maintenance and Partnerships funds from CDOT this year. The funds, which were requested by Douglas County, will account for half the cost of the scaled-back project, now in the design phase. According to the county’s capital improvements projects manager, Art Griffith, the rest of the money will be funded by a combination of local, state and federal loans, to be paid back with toll revenue over the next 30 years. “They (CDOT) have a fairly aggressive schedule and would like to see all these projects completed and open to traffic by January 2018,” Griffith said.

For the C-470 expansion project, he said, it is likely to be in the design phase for much of 2014 and construction will start in 2015. The project, in addition to new lanes, will include the addition of a continuous auxiliary lane from Santa Fe Drive to University Boulevard and also involve the replacement of some existing infrastructure. “The ultimate plan was to add two managed lanes in each direction from Wadsworth to I-25, and one managed lane in each direction from Wadsworth to Kipling, but this RAMP project will require us to scale back and do an interim solution,” Griffith said. “The interim solution is adding one lane in each direction from I-25 to the Platte Canyon exit. There’s just not enough money to do the whole kit and caboodle right now. The ultimate plan is still to get managed lanes all the way to Kipling.” The C-470 Corridor coalition — made up of representatives from a variety of adjacent municipalities — spent two years studying how to finance the new lanes, finally reaching a decision in February that managed toll express lanes would be the way to go. Other options discussed included the implementation of sales or property tax increases within a to-be-determined taxing district as well as tolling all the lanes.

Writers are challenged to get to work Library to hold kickoff party for busy month By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com Douglas County Libraries is ready to help anyone who wants to participate in the annual NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) event that challenges people to write 50,000 words in November. There will be a NaNoWriMo kickoff party at 7 p.m. Oct. 29 at Philip S. Miller Library, 100 S. Wilcox St. in Castle Rock, for novelists taking up the challenge. The writers will receive information to get their creative energies focused. They can then come to weekly Write Ins “to experience the warmth of human companionship again, get some feedback on the scene you can’t stop tweaking, and enjoy some snacks with people going through the same creative throes you’re going through,” according to a news release. Adults sign on to produce 50,000

words between 12:01 a.m. Nov. 1 and 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 30. Teens can opt for a lower word count. The goal is to get the words down on paper or your flash drive — the editing can come later. Author Sara Gruen’s “Water for Elephants” is just one of hundreds of books that started out as a NaNoWriMo project but went on to greater success as a published book. To take part in NaNoWriMo, go to http://nanowrimo.org and sign up before midnight Oct.31. While NaNoWriMo offers a certificate of completion to those who manage to finish their 50,000 words, Douglas County Library patrons have additional incentives. Library-card-carrying Douglas County residents who receive that certificate can then submit their manuscripts for judging. One teen and one adult manuscript are chosen. The prize for each is a buffing of their novel by a professional editor, some great cover art, and a printed copy of their book.

Here is the total amount raised by candidates supporting a change in the board’s direction: Barbra Chase: $8,234.97 (82 donations) Bill Hodges: $11,444.93 (116 donations) Julie Keim: $7,121.98 (95 donations) Ronda Scholting: $15,526.97 (263 donations) Total: $42,328.85 (556 donations)

Morgridge, vice president of the private, education-focused Morgridge Family Foundation. If not for contributions from the outside sources and board member Richardson, the four board backers’ combined tally would stand at under $5,000 — less than the contributions given to the lowest-funded opposition candidate, Julie Keim, who took in $7,122. As of Oct. 18, the campaign websites of two pro-board candidates, Doug Benevento and Jim Geddes, did not offer a mechanism to contribute to their campaigns. Oil and gas entrepreneur Cranberg is chairman of Aspect Holdings LLC. Nagel is the president of investment fund Top Rock LLC, founder of the Meridian Retire-

ment Communities, and a member of the University of Denver board of trustees. Cranberg and Nagel co-founded and serve on the board for the Denver-based nonprofit, Alliance for Choice in Education (ACE). Cranberg donated $25,000 to each of the four pro-board candidates, and Nagel $10,000 to each. On the opposition side, Boulder-based Democratic Congressman Jared Polis gave $1,000 to Scholting’s campaign. Scholting is to date the only opposition candidate to receive a four-figure donation. Notable donations to the opposing slate include $500 each from Taxpayers for Public Education president Cindy Barnard, a plaintiff in the Douglas County voucher lawsuit. Former Douglas County Schools Superintendent Jim Christensen donated $500 to Hodges. Scholting, with $15,527 in campaign contributions, so far has received the most financial support of the four opposition candidates. The numbers reflect the Colorado Secretary of State’s first campaign-finance reporting period, showing funds raised through early October.

Lone Tree library issue ignites debate Councilmember’s proposal for two sites rejected by most By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Lone Tree residents who filled the city council’s meeting room Oct. 15 expressed overwhelming support for the city’s plan to eventually convert the current library building into a community center. Only a handful endorsed Councilmember Kim Monson’s proposal to pursue the operation of two libraries. A library official who spoke before the public comment portion of the meeting said Douglas County Libraries couldn’t feasibly operate two branches in the city of 11,000 residents. RidgeGate has offered the library district a site in its development south of Lincoln Avenue for a new, larger facility. The current library at Yosemite Street and Lone Tree Parkway and the proposed site near the Super Target are 1.1 miles apart.

“We believe (operating two libraries in Lone Tree) would be impossible for us,” said library spokesman David Farnan, citing administrative and other costs. “We are a lean machine. The only way we’ve done that is finding smart, efficient ways to run libraries.” Construction of a new city library to replace the space now too constrained to adequately serve the area still is three to five years distant, and the land deal is not yet sealed. The city recently hosted a series of community meetings about its idea to buy the 10,000-square-foot library building and convert it into a community center with limited library services. On Oct. 10, the Lone Tree Voice published a guest commentary from Monson, in which she said the city could support two libraries. Monson’s commentary surprised and irked her fellow councilmembers. “The rest of the city council doesn’t believe two libraries is a practical solution,” Mayor Jim Gunning said. “Most of us have

been here long enough to know the little library on the corner is important to this community. A virtual library would still be able to serve many of the needs.” Several residents who spoke said the proposed site on the high-growth side of the city someday will be more central than the current one. “What I love about being a banker is no new taxes,” said Don Rogers, president of Lone Tree’s First Commercial Bank. “What I also love is free land. I don’t see too many cases where you have a win-win. We get a new library and we get to keep the old library for a community center. This is a win-win.” Dave Tanin is among those who likes the idea of two libraries, but said it appeared that was not under consideration. “It seems to me the board and council have pretty much made up their minds; community outreach after you’ve made up your minds doesn’t make much sense,” he said. Pat Perlinger, who lives in the unincorporated Acres Green neighborhood adjacent

to Lone Tree, said he was disappointed the library hadn’t contacted anyone there about its plans. “That library does not belong to Lone Tree,” he said. “I agree there should be a big, new library, but there was no outreach to Acres Green. We’re probably the longest users (of the library).” Former city councilmember Sharon Van RamShorst criticized the guest commentary. “I was extremely disappointed when I opened The Voice last week,” she said. “Going to the media is not the way to resolve differences of opinion in Lone Tree, and I’m sorry that it happened. I encourage you to proceed the way you have been proceeding.” Monson, who assumed Van Ramshorst’s vacant seat in 2012, said the comments were valuable. “It’s certainly been an interesting endeavor for me,” she said. “I believe it’s important people have their voice and that was the purpose of the guest commentary, to let people know. I want to say thank you for the process that is the American process.”

CRIME REPORT Copper Mesa windows shot out

On Oct. 9 Douglas County sheriff’s deputies reported to Copper Mesa Elementary School in Highlands Ranch on a complaint of two windows having been shot out at the school. The windows, one on the north side of the school and one on the south side, were each valued at $400. It appeared they had been shot with a BB gun.

Locks changed, but not by owner  

through a sheriff’s sale filed a report Oct. 9 after the locks of the unit had been changed twice by an unknown person between Sept. 23 and the date of the report. Each time a key box was placed on the door. The reporting deputy cut the key box off the door after confirming that the man was the rightful owner. Only minor damage occurred inside the condominium unit.

Construction signs stolen

A man whose company purchased a condominium unit in the 3000 block of East Canyon Road in Highlands Ranch

Fifteen orange construction cones, with a total value of $450, and two barricades, valued at a total of $400, were

reported stolen from a construction site near the intersection of Meridian Boulevard and Maroon Circle in Lone Tree on Oct. 10. According to the construction company, the cones and barricades were taken sometime overnight Oct. 8 and discovered missing on the morning of Oct. 9.

Vehicles broken into

Five vehicles were reportedly broken into overnight on Oct. 11 in the parking lot of the Copper Canyon apartment complex off of East County Line Road in Highlands Ranch. In all instances, glove compartments were rifled through, and doors were

left open after the suspects moved on from the vehicle. Items were not removed from three of the vehicles, but a GPS system was removed from another, and a cell phone, driver’s license and credit card were taken from the fifth vehicle. Two other vehicles had windows broken out and items stolen from them on Oct. 12 and 13. One vehicle had a pocketbook with $1,000 worth of contents taken from the 24-Hour Fitness parking lot on Oswego Drive in Meridian and the other one, in the 9300 block of Weeping Willow Court in Highlands Ranch, had nothing missing.

State Rep. Murray won’t seek re-election Retiring lawmaker seen as practical, hard-working By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com Colorado Speaker of the House Mark Ferrandino says he “disagrees on most things” with state Rep. Carole Murray, RCastle Rock, who recently announced she won’t run for a fourth term. But he might even disagree with her retirement decision. Ferrandino said despite their differences, “I’ve worked on a lot of issues with her. “She can talk to both sides of the aisle,” he said. “We’re seeing less and less of that.” Murray said recently she has watched her husband, a former high school principal, get into a “retirement frame of mind,” and is following his lead. “I’ve been a working woman for 50 years … I don’t want to live by the alarm anymore.” Ferrandino said while Murray is very conservative, she knows how to craft a deal and work across the aisle. “She has a lot of respect for the process,” said Ferrandino, who is concerned that her successor might be more of an ideologue than a “consensus, practical” type of legislator. “She’s a very well-respected legislator that you can work with even if you disagree. She works hard. She knows her information. She’ll fight for what she believes.” Sometimes she has managed to shock both sides of the aisle. Murray — a former teacher possibly best known for her work on education reform who was named 2010 “Legislator of the Year” by the Colorado Community College System — made national news when she, a self-described “extremely conservative” Republican, voted earlier this year to support Colorado’s civil unions bill. “It took significant political courage — you don’t see much political courage on both sides of the aisle — to get up and do what she thinks was (right),” said Ferran-

dino, who said he was shocked at her vote. Colorado Sen. Mark Scheffel R-Parker said he didn’t agree with her position, but after talking with her, he “respected her thought process” on how she came to that decision. “I’m a Carole fan,” he said. “It was an honor to serve with her.” Murray told the News-Press she was proudest of her 2011 role in outlawing artificial cannabanoids, the use and sale of the designer drug known as “Spice.” “(The bill) almost died at the end of the session a couple of years ago and I was able to resurrect it.” She said she was also prime sponsor of HB 11-1293, which repealed a tax on downloadable software passed by the Democrats the previous year. “Very proud of that one, as the tax had the potential of negatively affecting every business in the state, since it was a tax on any program that was downloaded from the Internet,” she said. Murray was also the House co-sponsor of a bill passed in 2010, SB 191, which requires that teachers be evaluated on student performance. Rep. Frank McNulty R-Highlands recalled her ability to work with opponents, on education and other issues. “She could dismantle labor leaders’ contentions on education and then she could still go back and work with the chief advocates for status quo.” “Carole could throw a grenade over the wall and then walk through the gate and check on the wounded,” he said. She said she’s not sure who’s going to run for her seat. “I’m going to stay out of that one … With my position on civil unions I don’t know if they’ll want my support or not.” Murray said her decision came down to “everyone needs to have equal responsibility and equal benefits in our society.” She said she didn’t think it was government’s role to make a judgment. Murray, who is opposed to gay marriage, as marriage is a “religious construct,”

State Rep. Carole Murray, representing District 45, recently announced she won’t run for a fourth two-year term. Courtesy photo said one thing that fueled her decision was that even though gay people have been adopting children for many years, there was nothing in the law that gave partners any certainty if something had happened to one of them. She said there had been cases when the remaining parent had to struggle to continue being the child’s parent. “I’ve no regrets,” she said, about that position. But she regrets she won’t be around to complete what she started in trying to update telecommunication laws that haven’t been updated in 25 years, and make sure the Internet isn’t regulated. “We don’t want to pile regulation on Internet communication because it will stifle innovation,” she said.

Amendment 66 is no easy sell Tax hike for schools generates opposition By Sandra Fish

I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS Teachers unions and several wealthy Coloradans are spending millions to convince voters to agree to almost $1 billion annually in higher income taxes devoted to public schools. But they face an uphill battle with an electorate that rarely agrees to increase taxes. And opponents of the measure say they’d like to spend at least $1 million in the fight, though the sources of that money likely won’t be revealed. Amendment 66 would raise the state income tax rate from 4.63 percent to 5 percent on the first $75,000 of taxable income and to 5.9 percent on taxable income beyond $75,000. It would be the first tiered income tax since a single tax rate was adopted in 1988. I-News Network at Rocky Mountain PBS and Maplight are teaming up on VotersEdge.org/Colorado, a website offering details about the proposal’s pros and cons, its funding and daily updates on news stories. The site also offers information on Proposition AA, which would place taxes on retail marijuana sales statewide. Amendment 66 would raise about $950 million a year in the first year and about $1 billion after that. And it would require that 43 percent of the state’s general fund go to pre-K-12 public schools. The initiative would fund a re-

vamped school finance formula that would give more money to districts with higher proportions of at-risk and non-English speaking students, as well as increased funding for preschool and kindergarten students. It’s a more complex proposal than those in the past — including a 2011 effort that would have temporarily raised sales and income taxes for education, but lost with only 36 percent of the vote. “That was a temporary fix, and it didn’t have widespread initial support,” said Curtis Hubbard of the 2011 effort. Hubbard is a spokesman for Colorado Commits to Kids, the proAmendment 66 group that raised more than $7.7 million through Oct. 9.

Some have doubts

Despite promises that money will go to classrooms as specified by the Legislature’s Senate Bill 213, which revises the school finance formula but will not take effect if Amendment 66 doesn’t pass, not everyone is convinced. Norma Anderson was in the state Legislature for 19 years, serving as both House and Senate majority leader. She was a key author of the 1994 school finance act, which would be replaced by Amendment 66, and she is still active in education efforts. A Republican, Anderson is one of the leaders of Coloradans for Real Education Reform, a primary opponent of the tax hike. “My concern on this, it’s a budget nightmare, and you’re tying up the general fund in the Constitution,” she said. “It’s too much money, and I’m

not sure it’s going to the right places.” Hubbard counters that the bill changing the funding formula requires annual audits of spending, a website to allow the public to compare how money is spent and a return-oninvestment study every four years. Backed by Gov. John Hickenlooper, at least 25 school districts and several local chambers of commerce, Colorado Commits to Kids spent more than $1.4 million to collect signatures to put the issue on the ballot, and is now spending on television advertisements, fliers and other strategies to support the initiative. That compares with $7,605 for Kids Before Unions and $14,500 for Coloradans for Real Education Reform. The Independence Institute, a libertarian Denver think tank, donated $10,800 to the latter group. An Independence Institute program, Kids Are First, is running television ads against Amendment 66. As a nonprofit, the organization doesn’t have to file disclosures with the Colorado Secretary of State. The Kids Are First donation page says it has raised $668,025 of a $1 million goal. “I’d love to spend $1 million,” said Jon Caldara, president of the Independence Institute, though he said some of the advertising is coming from the think tank’s general budget. “As a (nonprofit) organization, we don’t report to the secretary of state.” I-News is the public service journalism arm of Rocky Mountain PBS and works in collaboration with news media statewide. To read more go inewsnetwork.org. Contact writer Sandra Fish at sandrafish@comcast.net.

Murray taught junior high for a couple years, and then in Douglas County was a stay-at-home mom, then an advertising manager for the Douglas County NewsPress, then later Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce’s executive director before running for Douglas County clerk and recorder, serving for eight years before running for the District 45 seat in 2008. Scheffel, who grew up in Parker, has known Murray since before she was clerk and recorder, and she was involved in countless projects for the party and community. “She refers to herself as a `change agent,’” he said. “That’s true.” Now, for another change. She wants to travel with her husband, visit grandchildren, and garden.


10-Opinion

opinions / yours and ours

Election bringing out the worst Like it or not, mudslinging and animosity come with the territory during gubernatorial, Congressional and presidential campaigns. Often, mayoral and state legislative races can also become mired in such muck. That can rarely be said about a school board contest. In Douglas County, however, this is one of those rare times. The name-calling and attack ads are enough to make the folks in Washington proud. To be sure, the stakes are high in the race for four seats on the Douglas County School Board. One slate of four candidates — two of whom are incumbents — seeks to continue the current board’s reforms, which include a voucher program and a pay-for-performance plan for teachers. The opposing

our view slate believes the high-achieving Douglas County School District wasn’t broken, so it doesn’t need to be fixed by far-reaching and disruptive reform efforts. That’s a quick and simplistic overview, of course. The issues and the rancor they’ve sparked are complex and can’t be fully explained in one editorial, much less one paragraph. The point is, this is a big election and the candidates have real, stark differences of opinion on how education

letters to the editor Money trail leads to dark places

I’m writing in support of the good work Jane Reuter has been doing covering the issues surrounding the current Douglas County School Board and the upcoming election. Many of her reports have been fine examples of investigative journalism — revealing that our upcoming election is anything but nonpartisan. Jane has done a great job bringing to light dark-moneyed, conservative interests that are trying to take our public schools away from us. Organizations with innocuous-sounding names that are harming our electoral process include: • Americans for Prosperity: Founded by David and Charles Koch, AFP has backed national Republican candidates and initiatives. • Douglas County Education Alliance: An organization channeling funds (of unknown origin) to media and online outlets, with former Castle Rock mayor Randy Reed as its titular head. • Douglas County Educational Foundation: Created to enrich education within our schools, DCEF seems to have veered from its charter by supporting the current school board with paid consultants such as Bill Bennett and Rick Hess. Randy Reed was a former trustee. Bennett is a conservative pundit and politician, who once served as Secretary of Education. Bennett is the founder of K12, the nation’s largest online education company. In recent years, K12 has increased profits while student performance has suffered — raising questions about whether the company is making money at the expense of academics. Hess is an education policy maven for the American Enterprise Institute, a leading member of the neoconservative advocacy community. Among the better known figures at AEI are former administration officials who were promoters of George W. Bush’s “war on terror” policies — including John Yoo (the “torture memo” author). These groups and individuals advocate privatizing public schools. The national focus on our local election (and the substantial amount of out-of-state money supporting pro-board candidates directly) should give Douglas County parents pause. Tony Peccolo Castle Rock

Support pro-reform candidates

After interviewing every candidate that wished to be considered, the Douglas County Republican Party endorsed Dr. Jim Geddes, Judi Reynolds, Meghann Silverthorn and Doug Benevento for school board. I ask you to vote for them. These four individuals are committed to education reform, including marketbased pay, pay for performance, and groundbreaking school choice. These reforms have been possible largely because the board let the union’s collective bargaining agreement expire so that they would be free to pursue what’s in the

best interest of the parents, students, and taxpayers of Douglas County without being tied to a union contract that is only best for the union. Having taken on the union, it’s not surprising that the opposition has made things ugly and tried to divide our community. It’s the same unfortunate tactic President Obama used to win reelection. The candidates we endorsed believe that parents are best able to decide what’s best for their children and their education, that they should have many educational choices rather than settling for a one-size-fits-all approach, and believe that each school should be encouraged to develop its own strengths and programs so that parents can choose the right fit for their child. Please check out each of the candidates and verify whether they’re supporting the above record of success. The four candidates we’ve endorsed are supporting these exciting and positive reforms that are good for the parents, students, and taxpayers of Douglas County. Craig Steiner Chairman, Douglas County Republicans Highlands Ranch

Get schools back on track

As a parent of two elementary students, I am disgusted to learn that the DCSD’s fundraising arm, DCEF, has spent $50,000 to fund speaking fees to former U.S. Secretary of Education Bill Bennett. DCEF has funded at least two other educational consultants, Tony Wagner and Yong Zhao. How have these consultant expenditures directly helped our students or teachers? Yet, school funding has been cut, our fund balance grows, and our schools have to fundraise every year in order to provide basics, such as art, music, and educational assistants (EAs), to our students. The schools that are not able to fundraise for these basics must do without them. How is this acceptable? The B.O.E. keeps touting that they are still getting great results from schools even though they keep trimming overall funding. Does the district know how much parents contribute each year so our schools won’t slip in performance? Six years ago, our school pledge drive raised about $18,000. Things are quite different now — our PTsO raises over $100,000 each year just to maintain programs that principals, parents and teachers feel are vital to our school’s success. Parents know that if we don’t raise these funds, these programs are cut for our kids. I now participate in numerous fundraisers, from pledge drives to the annual auction — spending way more than a few years ago. And, I am just one of several parents who must do this. Parents are not going to let the school slip by losing specials and education assistants. Letters continues on Page 11

should be administered in the county. We appreciate the passion the county’s people — including candidates, parents and teachers — have shown over these issues. It is a testimony to how high of a regard they have for education. We struggle to think of anything more important. But differences of opinion don’t have to devolve into something resembling hatred. And at times, that’s what we’ve seen. Douglas County is affluent, its people highly educated. It is a place where people put a priority on family. Unfortunately, the commonalities shared by so many have meant so little, it seems. Instead, differences of opinion have swollen into divisiveness. That’s truly a sad thing for a county that has a burgeoning reputation among businesses and indi-

viduals as a prime destination to put down roots. We have to wonder what impact the hostility over school district issues will have on the county’s economic and population growth. But there’s still time. Whomever you vote for, whoever is announced the winner after election results are released the night of Nov. 5, make civility a priority. There really is no doomsday scenario in this election, high as the stakes may be. This vote is about a matter of direction, of people having differences of opinion over how to run a school district. The schools will not crumble, despite what some say. It doesn’t have to be “us versus them.” While this election may determine a lot of things, don’t let it decide how you treat your neighbor.

Not understanding is a many-splendored thing There are one or two things I don’t understand. One or two thousand. Tops on my list is why a baseball manger wears a wristwatch in the dugout. Baseball is one of the few sports that isn’t timed. Golf is another one — but you only have so much time to hit your shot. There are clocks all over baseball stadiums. So why would you wear a wristwatch? It must be vanity, or superstition. I don’t have a single superstition. I wish I did. I embrace the number 13. I met my beloved on the 13th. I walk under all of the ladders I can find, and step on every sidewalk crack in the neighborhood. There’s another thing I don’t understand. It’s something that is going on right now. The James Holmes trial may last eight months. It should last eight minutes. “For the first time, lawyers for James Holmes have admitted he killed 12 people and wounded dozens more at an Aurora movie theater last summer,” the Denver Post reported. I don’t understand why more people don’t know who Nikola Tesla was. I don’t understand why they put headlight decals on NASCAR cars. I don’t know why anyone would go to a fashion show. I don’t understand why athletes point to the sky after they get a hit. I don’t understand Pop Tarts or those scented, pine tree-shaped things you hang from your rearview mirror. How bad does it have to smell in your car before you hang a cardboard pine tree from the rearview mirror of a $20,000 car?

I will never understand Birkenstocks and black socks worn at the same time. I don’t understand frosting, or why anyone would eat it. Maybe they don’t know what is in it. Wedding cakes gives me the creeps. Wedding dresses give me the creeps. Wedding planners give me the creeps. I don’t understand the song “Wind Beneath My Wings.” Was it written by Icarus? Is “Wings” a euphemism? Someone sang “Wind Beneath My Wings” at a wedding I went to. I decided that I would never go to another wedding after that. I don’t understand why anyone would book a flight, fly to Las Vegas, rent a car, stay in a hotel, and spend a lot of money on a ticket to watch a ventriloquist. I don’t know why evangelists dye their hair, or why they always have a Cheshire cat smile on their faces — maybe because they are richer than anyone in the audience? I don’t understand why women scream Marshall continues on Page 11

Challengers focus on small stuff

I had the opportunity to attend a Q&A with Board of Education candidates sponsored by the League of Women Voters Oct. 14 at Eastridge Recreation Center. Some observations. The difference in the materials offered by the candidates was remarkable. Scholting and Keim had professional-looking color slicks with well-posed photos. The other candidates had materials which appeared to be copied off Kinko’s cheapest copier. The incumbent slate of candidates talked about the big issues of parental choice, pay for performance, sound financial policies, putting children and parents ahead of unions, and local control. The challengers talked about small stuff: activity buses, a very slight reduction in classroom time, not getting a shower until the ninth grade (presumably baths were available before that), regaining an accreditation that does not make a bit of difference to student performance, and a minuscule increase in turnover. Oddly, some of the challengers claimed they wanted more local decision-making, but then blamed the current board for local schools not spending all of the money allocated to them. In truth the Q&A seemed to be between those (the incumbent slate) who understand the challenges of making big decisions and those (the challengers) who don’t. Michael Wallace Highlands Ranch

School leadership must change

An open letter to the good people of Douglas County, Colorado: I had no idea. Douglas County residents and neighbors I talked to had no idea. All seemed to assume that people who run for the school board are locally engaged citizens who want what is best for our kids and our teachers. Hearing some grumblings, I decided to do some research. I attended “The Reformers” movie (http://reformersmovie.com). I talked to Douglas County teachers … Wow: 1. Ninety percent of the teachers are not happy — many feel threatened and are afraid. Teachers are leaving (see: http:// tinyurl.com/njd698a). 2. Students have less time in the classes, bigger class sizes, and are scoring lower on tests (see: http://strongschoolscoalition. org/updated-dcsd-then-now/).

I don’t understand the national anthem. “Bombs bursting in air” does not arouse me to patriotism. I think Black Friday is monstrous. I don’t know why anyone has a closet full of shoes. Why would anyone put plastic covers over their lampshades? I don’t understand why dry cleaning is called dry cleaning. It’s not. I don’t understand the Duggars, and I don’t want to. The word “appalling” fits them. And “arrogant.” “I love my cigar,” Groucho Marx said,

3. While teachers are being eliminated and course-size is increasing, there is actually a significant surplus of money in the district ($80 million). 4. Even though the Board of Education is a nonpartisan office, significant outside money has clearly influenced the current board setup, with the apparent underlying intention to end public education as we know it. I now want to do something to help elect new board members! Chase, Keim, Hodges and Scholting are locally engaged citizens that would do a much better job looking out for our kids and our teachers. I have taught many courses at a variety of levels (I have a Ph.D. in education), have started several small businesses (and understand the private side), have traveled and lived internationally (understand what “world class” really means); but it is the parent and community citizen in me that deeply wants things to be better for Douglas County! Do your own research. Vote 4 Kids. Vote for all 4. Craig Jonas Highlands Ranch

Wrong time for tax increase

Amendment 66 is a typical response to a “perceived” problem — throw more money at it and it will go away! Our son is now in this 11th year in Douglas County schools and has received an excellent education. In Colorado the median income has declined 4.3 percent from three years ago to $56,765 and nationally the average hours worked per week by all workers has declined to 34.4 hours. Amendment 66 is projected to cost Douglas County taxpayers from $90 to $100 million, yet only $52 million would go back to Douglas County School District. Where does the rest of the money go? Bureaucracy and administration? Now is not the time for a tax increase — especially when no good argument has been given that there is a problem and more money is needed. Graduation rates in DCSD have increased to 87.4 percent compared with 84.2 percent and 83.1 percent the past two years.

had targeted and won the last school board election. The teachers’ union hopefully has never denied that it is aligned with the Democrats. The elephant in the room is that this local election is not local at all. It is partisan politics on a national level, with PAC money and outside interests obviously involved. It is unfortunate that the Denver Post has come out in favor of retaining the present school board’s innovative path. Post editors quote from a paper titled “The Most Interesting School District in America?” from the American Enterprise Institute. A significant number of leading members of the AEI were also aligned with the second Bush administration. They include Dick and Lynne Cheney, Newt Gingrich and John Bolton. Antonin Scalia was also a former member. The AEI represents only a very conservative Republican point of view. The question becomes when, in an era of extreme partisan politics, does school innovation cross over and become a disguised attack upon the public school system itself? Are union-member public schoolteachers really just lazy and greedy, interested only in protecting their jobs? Are teachers’ unions solely interested in preventing reform and maintaining the status quo? It is time for independents, disenfranchised centrist Republicans, and inactive Democrats to stand up and let their voices be heard. Voting, in even the smallest of elections today, has never been so important. Steve Christiansen Highlands Ranch

Vote no on marijuana tax

This election, Colorado voters will consider Proposition AA, a 15 percent sales tax plus a 15 percent excise tax on marijuana sales. Colorado has never taxed a particular industry or product at this high of a rate. These taxes would be in addition to the federal, state, and local taxes already in place on marijuana. Federal taxes on

marijuana businesses and consumers are already higher than any other industry due to the inability of these businesses to take full deductions. Proposition AA would be the highest tax increase in Colorado history, a reckless experiment that would create a dysfunctional market for marijuana, undermining the goal of the “Alcohol-Marijuana Equalization Initiative” (Amendment 64). As a framer and supporter of Amendment 64, the purpose of the measure was to bring marijuana out of Prohibition and regulate it like alcohol. Colorado’s alcohol industry pays less than 1 percent in state excise taxes. Prohibition does not work. Excessive taxes are another form of Prohibition. The pro-tax campaign is supported by what Jacob Sullum of Reason magazine has accurately labeled “The Marijuana Cartel,” i.e. large dispensaries and drug dealers that use burdensome and expensive government regulation and taxation to suppress fair competition from smaller businesses. The Pro-Tax campaign is running a campaign of fear, alleging that the U.S. Department of Justice wants high taxes on marijuana. I recently asked the U.S. attorney for Colorado, John Walsh, whether he supported Colorado Proposition AA, and he responded that the U.S. Department of Justice did not endorse Proposition AA. An Aug. 29 memo from the U.S. Department of Justice providing official guidance regarding marijuana does not even mention local or state taxes on marijuana, but does mention an enforcement system that is “effective in practice.” Excessive taxes create a dysfunctional system that is “ineffective in practice,” and creates a marijuana market ripe for takeover by the unregulated, untaxed, underground market. Proposition AA would re-establish Prohibition and drive marijuana back underground, to the detriment of all Coloradans. Please vote “No” on Proposition AA. Robert J. Corry Jr. Treasurer and attorney, “No on Proposition AA” campaign Denver

Stand up and be heard

The school-board election is so important. The Douglas County School Board is embroiled in a confrontation with the union teachers and their parent supporters. The accusations revolve around school reform, school choice, teacher accountability, teacher morale and a seemingly never-ending list of what should and should not be done to solve the deficiencies of public education. We are engaged in an era of unprecedented partisan politics between the Democrats and the Republicans. In a move never done before, the Douglas County Republican Party publicly declared that it

There are hundreds already. Wrist corsages. Surprise parties. The worst. “An act of aggression,” David Mamet said. I’d walk out, but fortunately no one has a surprise party for a humbug.

How values drive success

One of my very favorite things about being in the coaching, training, and learning and development industry is when I have an opportunity to meet and observe other trainers or facilitators, authors, and subject matter experts. I am sharing this with you because I had a wonderful opportunity to sit in on a session recently conducted by Peter Thomas. His career and accomplishments were extremely impressive, however his presentation was focused on values, and it was his passion and conviction around this topic that really captured my attention. Although he normally delivers the course over two days, the fourhour abbreviated version had a tremendous impact on me and how I see and define my own success. What are my values? What do I value most? Why do I value these # things? cn TAKE-OUT ONLY No Substitutions $ 40 Intuitively I have understood REG. 54 • Full Rack Baby Back Ribs the importance of identifying my SAVE $18 • 1/2 BBQ Chicken with this coupon values and their relation to my • BBQ Chicken Breast success and have spent time identi• 1 lb.

integrity, family, knowledge, and other very nice words and strong values. So when I was tasked with working through my own, I came up with about 14 words or values. Then after thinking through them a little more I distilled the list down to seven values and found the other words and values fit better as subvalues or categories. If you don’t mind me sharing, here is what I do value: Faith, Family, Love, Trust, Kindness, Happiness, and Fitness. And the other values that fall somewhere under each one include: Togetherness, Compassion, Time, Quiet Time, Loyalty, Effort, Purpose, Commitment, Wisdom, and Peace, with some of these falling under more than one major value. Have you considered what it is you really value and why? Success is different for everyone as some define success by status, money, achievements, and in many other ways. What if we looked at success and

measured our success in relation to our values instead of our accomplishments or at least alongside of them? If we compromise our values to achieve status or things, are we truly successful? I know this sounds so philosophical or maybe you see it as wishful thinking. But if you are a little like me maybe, and someone reminded you about the importance of your values, would you take the time to reconsider what they are and how you not only prioritize them but how you just might live them? This was an awesome reminder and I am so grateful to Peter Thomas for his presentation. He has written a book titled “Be Great: The Five Foundations of an Extraordinary Life in Business — And Beyond” and I would highly encourage you to read this wonderfully fresh reminder of all that may just be important in your own life. Are your values in alignment with what you do? Is what you do in alignment with your values? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com because when our values and life are in sync, it really will be a better than good week.

Steak ’n Shakes to reopen Popular restaurants to be operated by corporate office By George Lurie

glurie@ ourcoloradonews.com It’s lunchtime and a steady stream of vehicles cruises slowly past Centennial’s shuttered Steak ’n Shake. “Do you know when they’re going to open back up?” one driver asks. “I can’t wait to get my hands on a Steakburger,” another man says while stopping to read signs posted in the restaurant’s front window. Clearly, Steak ’n Shake is a restaurant with a strong local following. But since September, Steakburger devotees have had to drive to Colorado Springs to get their itch scratched. That’s because a dispute between the local franchisee and the company’s corporate office led to the closure in September of Steak ’n Shakes in Centennial and Sheridan. But last week, the company announced its Centennial and Sheridan restaurants will reopen in late November. “The company is designing a marvelous grand reopening,” said Melissa Hirner, a public relations specialist working for the company who confirmed “Steak ’n Shake corporate” will directly manage the Centennial and Sheridan restaurants. The Steak ’n Shakes in Centennial and Sheridan have been in the headlines recently, shuttered the past two months and now tangled in lawsuits after the franchise owner ignored a corporate directive and charged higher prices for certain menu items. The two metro-area Steak ’n Shake franchises are owned by Kathryn and Larry Baer-

The Baernses opened Colorado’s first Steak ’n Shake in Centennial in 2011, investing a reported $4 million to secure a 20-year lease as well as the option to open as many as a dozen Denver-area franchises. But in September of this year, a judge ordered them to stop operating under the Steak ‘n Shake banner. The reason: the ongoing disagreement over pricing. At one point, the dispute prompted Steak ’n Shake’s corporate office in Indianapolis to cut off the computerized cash register system necessary to operate the Baernses’ franchises. This summer, a Denver judge stepped into the fray and granted the Baernses a temporary restraining order, forcing the company’s corporate office to bring the Centennial and Sheridan restaurants back online. But after the restraining order expired in early September, the corporate office once again withdrew its technical support and the Baerns family closed their restaurants again. Last month, U.S. District Judge Raymond Moore ruled the Baerns could still operate restaurants in their two leased locations but the stores could no longer appear to be associated in any way with Steak ’n Shake. While the parties remain embroiled in court proceedings, Steak ’n Shake’s franchisee agreements reportedly allow the company to assume franchise leases in certain situations. Although the Baernses’ lawyer did not respond to interview requests, in earlier media coverage, the Baernses claimed to be losing money because of additional labor and supply costs the corporate office failed to disclose during initial contract negotiations. Steak ’n Shake officials have yet to comment on the lawsuits.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF OCT 21, 2013

crossword • sudoku

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) A colleague might offer to open a door for you professionally. But before you walk through it, be sure this “favor” isn’t attached to an obligation you might find difficult to discharge.

GALLERY OF GAMES

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your creativity, your persistence and your reliability could lead to a major career shift. Be sure to use that other Taurean trait, your practicality, when discussing what the job offers.

& weekly horoscope

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A changing situation might require some adjustments you might not have been prepared to make. However, flexibility in this matter could be the best course to follow at this time. CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You’re in a period of fluctuating moods, which is not unusual for the Moon Child. Your emotions stabilize by the 25th. Meanwhile, try to hold off making major decisions until then.

GALLERY OF GAMES

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) That keen sense of perception helps you hunt down those minute details that others overlook. And, of course, your Leonine ego will accept the expected praise with good grace. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Be careful not to be confrontational when raising a work-related issue. Better to make a request than a demand. And, of course, be prepared to back up your case with facts. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Your ego might be hurt when a colleague turns down your offer to help. But accept it as a rejection of your offer, not of you. A friend from the past could re-emerge by week’s end. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A flow of positive energy turns a work project you didn’t want to do into something you actually love doing. Now, take that attitude into your social, intimate life -- and enjoy what follows. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Working hard to meet your professional goals is fine. But don’t neglect your private life, especially where it concerns your more cherished relationships. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) “Patience” remains the key word in dealing with an emotionally sensitive situation involving a close friend or family member. Help comes your way by week’s end. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) With new information coming in, it’s a good time to rethink some of your goals without taking suggestions from others, no matter how well-meaning they might be. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Making progress on your project is relatively easy in the early part of the week. A problem could arise midweek. But all goes swimmingly once it’s resolved. BORN THIS WEEK: Holding fast to your principles, no matter what, inspires others to follow your example. (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

Memories, expectations collide in play ‘From Door to Door’ title is related to Hebrew prayer book By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com As the play opens, a depressed Mary (Pamela Vanderpool) is visited by her daughter Deborah (Lisa Rosenhagen), who delivers a canvas and easel in an attempt to bring Mary out of her funk. She might recover a latent talent for art. The play’s title, “From Door to Door” is related to a phrase in a Hebrew prayer book: “l’dor v dor,” from generation to generation, and focuses on Mary’s memories of her if yoU go interactions with her mother, Bes“From Door to Door” sie, and daughter, plays through Nov. 10 Debbie. in the Pluss Theatre at In the backthe Mizel Arts and Culground, grandma ture Center at the JewBessie’s ghost ish Community Center, hovers (Kathryn 350 S.

This is in response to her granddaughter’s marriage announcement. She also has old-fashioned ideas about caring for a pregnant woman. Her pronouncements bring a laugh from the audience, but are part of a generational pattern that her daughter and granddaughter don’t accept well. “Now that I can do what I want to, I can’t

Media madness or a pregnant pause, perhaps? Was KOSI radio/9News personality Denise Plante pulling a prank on thousands of Facebook friends when she posted a picture of a pregnancy-testing stick she allegedly used on Oct. 16? She let the drama play out as she posted evolving pictures of the stick as it was turning positive or negative. She even snagged 9News medical expert Dr. John Torres to witness the gag. “Am I pregnant? We will soon find out, Dr. John Torres from @9News is in the house!” Plante posted. The plot thickened with pictures of the stick as it revealed her pregnancy status. And the “results?” “Turns out, I’m just a moody momma. Not pregos ... good news for (husband) Michael Plante.”

Lakewood High to `Roar’

Congrats to Lakewood High School for winning the “Good Morning America” contest to have Katy Perry perform a song at their high school! More than 2,000 Lakewood High students lip-synched to Perry’s hit song, “Roar,” as part of the school’s video entry. Perry announced the winner on “Good Morning America” Oct. 18. “For me Lakewood really embodied a whole school spirit. You saw so many different people coming together to do one shot,” Perry said Friday. “It was so interesting and so well done.” Amazingly, the video was shot in one take and has been viewed on Vimeo more than 564,000 times and earned 246,000 views on YouTube. 7News first reported the news. Perry will perform at Lakewood High — the home of the Tigers (how’s that for some cosmic karma!) — on Oct. 25 and will be broadcast on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Proceeds from the concert reportedly will go to the Colorado flood relief effort. Check out the video at http://vimeo. com/75058173.

Strings restrung

Pamela Vanderpool, Lisa Rosenhagen and Kathryn Gray play three generations of Jewish women in “Door to Door,” presented by Theatre Or at the Mizel Arts and Culture Center. Courtesy photo remember what it was,” Mary sighs after years of complying with the wishes of others. The play covers the history of 65 years — from 1935 to 2000 — and is a story that applies to generations of women everywhere. Traditions are observed and forgotten, expectations are frustrated, new ways added to the family context. Director Richard Pegg, himself an immigrant from England, designed the set which, with its collection of doors and picture frames, suggests various residences and generations over the years. This family moved often for a better rent, perhaps with a deal for papa to help with maintenance. The title applies here too. Jewish playwright James Sherman, a Chicago writer and teacher, said in a talkback on Oct. 14 that he wrote the play for his mother and that Bessie and her Max were modeled after his European immigrant grandparents. He added that he had been in Seoul, South Korea, and a woman

there said Bessie was just like her grandmother. The three actresses, Kathryn Gray, Pamela Vanderpool and Lisa Rosenhagen, talked about preparing for this play. Only Rosenhagen is Jewish and she did not do a traditional Bat Mitzvah, she said. She did share memories and family customs with her fellow cast members and they had a Yiddish coach. (Rosenhagen’s daughter is going to Hebrew School and embracing her Jewish heritage.) Gray, who is an expert in dialects, had the older woman’s speech, mannerisms and rhythms perfected. The script was well-researched and written throughout. Note that scenes do not always occur in a linear manner, so the audience has to shift gears at times. “From Door to Door” is an insightful look at family life, well directed and acted. One needs to note the Mizel Arts and Culture Center’s schedule when planning a ticket buy.

I’ve been back to Strings once since owner Noel Cunningham died. Since his wife, Tammy, opted to close the place (running a restaurant is not her thing) the building on 17th Avenue and Humboldt had stood like a monument to a time when the restaurant was frequented by celebrities from stage and screen, along with loyal locals. When it was announced that there would be new life stirring in that space with the occupation of Humboldt Farm — Fish — Wine, a Rock Bottom founder Frank Day project, I, for one, was happy to hear of the rebirth. Humboldt opened recently under the leadership of Concept Restaurants. “From the instant our guests walk in and have that `wow moment’ to the time they leave, we want to make sure their experience here is spectacular and memorable,” said Concepts designer Dianna Lynn. “Whether you are on top of the Denver foodie scene or visiting Humboldt for the first time and looking for an amazing dining experience, we are a welcoming place for everyone.”

Pearly gates await … and await Dark tale has many humorous lines By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com While “Vigil” focuses on a dark story — a misanthropic man waiting for his aunt to die — the play, written by Canadian Morris Panych, is filled with funny lines and situations, enhanced by two terrific actors, Patty Mintz Figel (Grace) and Larry Hecht (Kemp). Cherry Creek Theatre presents its productions at the gorgeous Shaver-Ramsey Showroom, surrounded by exotic rugs — old and new — a setting used by designer Richard Pegg to enhance the look of each production. The company is remounting a play these actors performed elsewhere seven years ago, also under the direction of versatile Billie McBride. Lights focus on a bedroom, upstairs in an older home. In the bed, centrally placed, is an elderly lady — with an amazingly expressive face and eyes. Figel only speaks two words in Act I, but the audience can read her thoughts, from the first moment that the bell rings, the door downstairs opens and there are approaching footsteps on the

Doctors’ Discovery Helps Diabetics PHILADELPHIA — A team of doctors has found that a new formulation of exotic sounding herbs and spices gives new hope to diabetics. The formula, called Cinnatrol™ promotes healthy blood sugar levels by effectively metabolizing glucose into energy. In a research study, all patients taking just one capful of the liquid (one ounce) daily, dramatically lowered their blood sugar levels compared to a placebo group. Another scientific study found that an ingredient in Cinnatrol made insulin 20 times more capable converting blood sugar to energy.

Now at:

While individual results vary, one patient in the study lowered his blood sugar from 220-245 to the 100-130 range in only 28 days, despite being instructed not to change his dietary habits or physical activity. Some patients, under their doctors care, have been able to reduce or eliminate their need for diabetic drugs. Scientists say that Cinnatrol actually helps diabetic drugs to work more efficiently. Additional information is available at www.cinnatrol.com. Cinnatrol is available without a prescription at pharmacies and nutrition stores or call 1-877-5811502.

Class ring finds its way home Owner gets jewelry 49 years after loss by Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Lone Tree’s Paul Squyer recently had a different kind of class reunion. Fortynine years after losing his class ring in a Wisconsin lake, it is back on Squyer’s hand. A little less shiny than in 1964, but overall in good condition. The ring, a gift from his sister, was only a week old when Squyer took a swim in northwestern Wisconsin’s Perch Lake near his hometown of New Richmond. When the high school senior emerged from the lake, the ring was missing. “I looked in the water, but we’d been swimming there quite a while and I couldn’t find it,” Squyer said. Worse than losing the ring was telling his sister, he remembers. Soon after, Squyer joined the military

and left Wisconsin, never to return. Forty-nine years later, on an early October day, scuba diver Ken Johnson’s metal detector alerted him to a find at the bottom of Perch Lake. The Wisconsin man routinely searches the lake for artifacts, and while it wasn’t the first ring he’d found, this was the first that offered clues to its past. The initials “NRHS” matched that of nearby New Richmond High School. The year “1964” and initials “P.S.” gave Johnson points from which to start his detective work. “I went to the high school and sat down with the yearbook,” Johnson said. “But nobody in (the class of ) ’64 had those initials.” That’s because Squyer spent his senior year at a high school in a neighboring community. Unwilling to give up, Johnson kept searching and found Squyer’s name in the 1962 yearbook. His was the only name that matched the initials on the ring.

“After finding the name in the ’62 book, I just did an Internet search,” Johnson said. “He came up on Facebook, and listed his hometown as New Richmond, Wis. That was the final clue.” Squyer said he initially thought Johnson’s phone call about the found ring was a joke. “I was really surprised,” he said. “I did call my sister and tell her. She said, `I guess, after 49 years, I won’t be mad at you anymore.’” Johnson said returning the ring to its original owner was well worth his time. “I thought it was kinda fun,” he said. “I could have taken it down to the guy who buys gold and sold it to him, I suppose. But usually these rings mean something to people.” Squyer plans to have the ring cleaned and resized to accommodate his nowlarger hands. “I’ll have to wear it a few days even though I didn’t wear it much when I had first had it,” he said.

Grizzlies romp past Wolverines ThunderRidge football coach still sees need for improvement By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com ThunderRidge plays rival Mountain Vista Oct. 25 in the Continental League regular-season finale. The Grizzlies improved to 7-1 on the season and 3-1 in the league with a 52-14 romp over Chaparral Oct. 17 at Shea Stadium, but ThunderRidge coach Joe Johnson stressed that his team needs to better itself as the state Class 5A playoffs approach. “There are a lot of things we can do better and execute better,” said Johnson. “We need to be more consistent defensively. We just kind of have bad series sometimes and things like that defensively. “We just can’t get complacent and we can’t think we don’t need to get better. The teams that get better are the teams that are going to win. If you are not getting better and somebody else is, you are getting worse. So we have to keep getting better and keep wanting to play. We have a lot of seniors who want to play as long as they can play.” Senior wide receiver Mark Hopper knows what ThunderRidge, a team that advanced to the semifinals last season, needs to do. “We just have to practice hard, keep focused and we can’t overlook one team,” advised Hopper. “We just have to keep practicing, that’s all we can do. We play Mountain Vista next, which is our biggest rival.”

ThunderRidge, the state’s fifthranked Class 5A team, played precise in defeating an injuryplagued Chaparral team that lost for the fifth time in eight games and dropped to 2-2 in league play. The Grizzlies broke a 7-7 firstperiod tie with 45 unanswered points, and the 40-point mercy rule with a running clock was started with 11:40 remaining in the fourth quarter. ThunderRidge scored on eight of 10 possessions, and one of those drives came when kneeling on the ball at the end of the game. The Grizzlies converted three turnovers into 21 points and finished with 435 yards total offense while limiting the Wolverines to 77 yards rushing and 168 total offense yards. It was a team effort as several players had standout games. Quarterback Brody Westmoreland completed 11 of 18 passes for 170 yards and a touchdown. He ran for 30 yards and another score. Steve Ray, who was suspended for the season’s first four games, rushed for three touchdowns and 112 yards. Fullback Matt Stanley added 39 yards rushing and a TD. Hopper caught six passes for 95 yards, kicked a 35-yard field goal and converted seven extrapoint kicks. Josh Brown rushed for 44 yards on three carries and caught three passes for 45 yards and a TD. Senior linebacker Tyler Seno had eight tackles and recovered two fumbles to pace the ThunderRidge defense. Michael Stanley, Matt’s brother, had two quarterback sacks. “Tyler is playing very well,” said Johnson. “He’s a very good athlete. We try not to be too onedimensional on offense. We have

ThunderRidge offensive lineman Sam Jones opens up a big hole for running back Steve Ray in the Grizzlies’ 52-14 win over Chaparral on Oct. 17. Photo by Paul DiSalvo several guys that can run it. Matt gives us a power inside look and he’s really good at that. Steve gives us a little more speed and movement outside. Brody can run and we’ve got guys that can catch it. “We didn’t have Brownie there for a few weeks. He dislocated his thumb. He’s somebody that I still don’t think we’ve seen what he

is capable of doing. He’s fast. He can hurt you. We’re going to try to use him more and be as balanced as we can.” Hopper echoed the comments of his coach. “We have many different players,” he said. “We have Brody Westmoreland, Steve Ray and our offensive line is unbelievable. We can do anything we want. We can

throw, we can run and we can pass.” In other Continental League action, Trey Smith ran for 118 yards and scored three times in Douglas County’s 44-41 triumph over Highlands Ranch. Mountain Vista mustered just five yards rushing and 162 total yards of offense in a 56-0 loss to leagueleading Regis Jesuit.

titles elude county teams at state softball Slew of local schools compete in 4A, 5A tournaments By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com T-shirts were being sold outside Aurora Sports Park and some had the score of the Class 5A state championship softball game inserted in a bold font. There were probably not many individuals in the Legend entourage to purchase any of these shirts since Legacy captured the championship with a 6-4 victory over the Titans on a chilly Oct. 20 afternoon. However, there were 60 other teams that play Class 5A girls softball that didn’t have the name of their schools printed on the shirt. “Nobody thought we would be here,” said Legend coach Shelly Boyd. “We were the underdogs. Only two teams make it to the state championship. I’m very proud of the girls and proud of the season. We had to go through Grandview, Rock Canyon and Fossil Ridge just to get to the championship game.” Legend faced a tournament-tested team in Legacy, which won its sixth state title in the past seven seasons. But the Titans took a 1-0 lead on a single by Kaley Garcia that drove home Steph Cardona, who had doubled. However, the Lightning roared back with

four runs in the fourth inning and held a 6-1 lead heading into the bottom of the seventh. Karlee Arnold belted a 3-run homer to pull the Titans within 6-4 but the Legend rally fell short. “One inning killed us,” Boyd said. “The girls battled until the end.” Arnold had four runs batted in during Legend’s 13-8 opening round win over Grandview. Liz Hersey’s 2-run homer was a big hit in the Titans’ 6-1 triumph over Rock Canyon. Fossil Ridge had 27 hits, eight home runs

and scored 29 runs in its first two games but it was Legend coming up with the big plays, hits and aggressive base running in a semifinal victory. Freshman Jesse Smith had three hits, Cardona two hits and two RBI and junior Kylie Hager two singles and three RBI in the win over Fossil Ridge. Legend wound up 20-6 record for the season. Ponderosa, which dropped a 3-2, eightinning game to Erie in the Class 4A semifinals, will have pitcher Ally Power back next

year for her senior season. The Mustangs (19-5) beat Palmer Ridge 6-5 and shut out Berthoud 6-0 before being eliminated. Power struck out 32 batters in the three games, including a big strikeout with the tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position to end the Palmer Ridge game. Ponderosa has nine underclass players on its state tournament roster. “It’s disappointing,” said Mustangs coach Toby Tabola. “When you get that close, knocking on the door, you want to get to the championship game. I don’t walk away with a sour taste because of the way the girls competed.” Legend and Ponderosa fared the best from seven Douglas County area teams in the tournament. Douglas County, the top-seeded team in the Class 5A state playoffs, scored 11 runs in the fifth inning to defeat ThunderRidge, 122, in a first-round game. Biggest hits in the uprising were a 2-run single by Sam Hardy and a 3-run homer by Clara Larson. The Huskies, 20-3, ran into a hard-throwing pitcher in Brighton’s Melissa Rahrich and lost 8-4 to the Bulldogs in the quarterfinals. “We are one of four teams in the school’s 20-year history to go to the Final Eight,” said Huskies coach Brian Stebbins. “We are the State continues on Page 30

second team to ever win 20 games. I’m very proud of the girls for the way they handled themselves this season. We ran into a hot pitcher and came up short at the end.” ThunderRidge’s late-season magic that saw them collect two regional tournament wins to advance into the state tournament disappeared against Douglas County. “These girls have battled all year,” said Grizzlies coach James Dollaghan. “That’s kind of the year that they have had. They’ve been up and down, up and down and we really kind of caught fire in the regionals.” ThunderRidge ended the season with a 10-13 record.

shutout pitching. Paige had a solo homer and Zayne Blumberg belted a grand slam to pace the Jaguars’ offense. However, Rock Canyon couldn’t come up with the big hits and had two runners thrown out at home plate in the loss to Legend in a matchup between Continental League co-champions. Rock Canyon went home with a 17-5 record. “Legend played awesome,” said Jaguars coach Debra Kortbawi. “They made some great plays. I didn’t want to see them. I’m very pleased with our season. This was a good, hard-fighting group with a lot of leadership.” Castle View (13-9) took a 4-2 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning after a grand slam homer by Morgan Duncan but the Sabercats gave up three runs to Eaglecrest in the bottom of the inning and suffered a 5-4 first round loss. In a Class 4A first round game, Valor Christian was ousted by Mountain View. The Eagles had only two hits in a 17-2 loss that ended their season with a 17-6 record.

Douglas County School Board

ELECTION INFORMATION Be Informed: Know Your Candidates

Mail-in Ballo t ONLY Ba llot must be received by Nov. 5th

What do you see as the three biggest challenges in Douglas County School District? DISTRICT B

DISTRICT E

Barbra Chase

Douglas Benevento (incumbent)

• Restore resources to our schools. The District’s fund balance has quadrupled to $83 million due to their inability to budget accurately. • Restore our high schools. Put kids back in school full time, reduce student/teacher ratios and increase the amount of instructional time to better prepare our students for college/careers. • Bring the public back to our public schools. Address plummeting parent satisfaction in Douglas County School District. Jim Geddes - No response -

DISTRICT D Julie A Keim • Loss of Academic Excellence Which is Directly Impacting Our Students • Lack of Accurate Budgeting and Financial Reporting, Resulting in Insufficient Funds Passed Down To the Schools Educating Our Students • Devaluation of Public Input and Educator Collaboration Resulting in Ineffective Implementation of Many Strategies

- No response Bill Hodges • Lack of Fiscal Transparency • Increased class sizes and decreased instructional time for students due to BOE/Administration using an economic model for cuts vs. what’s best for kids • Lowered graduation requirements and flat-lining of TCAP results

DISTRICT G Ronda Scholting • Loss of trust with community • Mismanagement of tax dollars • Academic performance Meghann Silverthorn (incumbent) • Ensuring that education evolves to remain relevant and engaging for today’s kids • Maintaining and expanding facilities to accommodate usage and growth • Balancing funding mandates and directives from the state with future classroom needs

Judi Reynolds • Unequal Funding • Local Control • High School Curriculum Awareness

If elected, how would you work on addressing these challenges as a school board member? DISTRICT B

DISTRICT E

Barbra Chase

Douglas Benevento (incumbent)

I will call for a financial audit to understand why DCSD is unable to budget accurately and return large operating surpluses to our schools. I will initiate staff, parent and community surveys immediately to understand the feedback from the community in which I represent. Limit the amount of meeting time behind closed doors and increase the amount time the Board meets in public. Jim Geddes - No response -

Focus tax dollars back into the classroom Fiscal transparency Stop so much BOE business being conducted behind closed doors via executive sessions Rebuild trust between the BOE and our communities by encouraging their input The BOE should hire outside legal counsel vs. using an attorney hired by the Superintendent in an effort to avoid any conflict of interest

DISTRICT G

Julie A Keim

Ronda Scholting

I will work with school leaders to assess needs, critically analyze fund balances, and identify parameters for the use of Board-designated reserves as necessary. I will work to give principals sufficient funding in their SBB to make independent decisions for their students and schools. I will work to develop and implement a meaningful assessment tool and merit-based pay structure that allows teachers to be effective leaders in their classrooms without unnecessary paperwork that keeps them from engaging with students. Judi Reynolds Unequal Funding- The current funding formula from the state and the amendment 66 proposal place Douglas county children at a fiscal disadvantage. I will continue to voice my concerns at the state level and testify against any proposal that impacts funding of the students, teachers, staff, and schools of the Douglas County School District.

Responses for all candidates are listed in alphabetical order within their District. Please visit strongschoolscoalition.org/election-2013 for complete survey results.

Bill Hodges

DISTRICT D I will work to bring the majority of Board meeting time back into the public, with meaningful discussions representing varying viewpoints.

The Strong Schools Coalition is a non-profit organization of Douglas County citizens and does not support or endorse any political party, candidate for, or incumbent in elected office. ©2013

- No response -

Local Control - The state has created several new laws that school districts are required to abide by, even if they were created to solve a problem the DCSD does not have. Recently the state adopted House Bill 12-1238: The Colorado READ Act. The READ Act imposes new assessments on DCSD students, even though they have some of the highest reading scores in the metro area. Please visit strongschoolscoalition.org/election-2013/ for complete response.

1) Loss of trust: Currently, 49% of Douglas County School Board meetings are held in secret, more than any other district in the state of Colorado. The public’s business, as carried out by a democratically elected body, should be conducted in the open. It’s nearly impossible to have checks and balances and trust within an institution that does so much of its business behind closed doors. The secret meetings have to stop. 2) Mismanagement of tax dollars: As the number of students has increased, the District has decreased the number of teachers, but increased the administrative staff. The first step toward to fiscal sanity is to stop hiring administrators and paying them huge bonuses and salaries and instead focus that money back into the classroom. Please visit strongschoolscoalition.org/election-2013/ for complete response. Meghann Silverthorn (incumbent) CVHS’s Modern Learners panel was a great example of how schools are addressing the need for educational evolution. Teachers lead, while district staff and even kids assist. Facilities are an ongoing challenge for a growing district. Prudent use and investment of existing monies is already in place. Future bond dollars or other financial instruments will be needed to build facilities. DCSD’s share of the state retirement system, PERA, will grow over the next decade. Strong financial management, as in DCSD FY13 allocations of reserve for PERA, is needed to avoid having to shift costs to employees or impacting classrooms.
