South Suburban Parks and Recreation’s annual Halloween event at Goodson Recreation Center, 6315 S.

Candidate hopes to get Libertarian message ‘out there’ Scott Helker, of Golden, is running for Colorado governor BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In the race for governor, Scott Helker, the Libertarian candidate, is glad he’s coming in above the Mickey Mouse vote. A telephone survey conducted by Magellan Strategies LLC that took place between Oct. 8-10 placed Helker at pulling 4 percent of the vote. A Mickey Mouse vote — which is when voters write-in Mickey Mouse rather than selecting any of the other candidates on the ballot — generally accounts for about 2 percent of the vote on Election Day, Helker said. “The reality is that I’m not going to win,” Helker, 62, of Golden said. “But this is great name recognition.” By name recognition, Helker doesn’t mean his own name. The whole goal of him running is to get the Libertarian message out there and contribute to the party’s branding, he said. “There was nobody running for governor in the Libertarian party,” Helker said. “Someone had to do it. People need to know who we are.” And following his campaign, the Libertarian party will be able to learn from what went well and what went wrong, Helker said. Helker has lived in Golden for about 20 years. With a professional background as an attorney, his focus was mostly criminal law, but would take on any case except personal injury, Helker said. He earned his law degree from the University of Denver in the 1980s, and his career history includes working in the district attorney’s office in Durango and as a public defender in San Jose County in California. He is no longer an active attorney, but remains involved in real estate investment.
Scott Helker of Golden, the Libertarian candidate for governor, jokes that the family dog, Jam, is his campaign manager. Helker’s goal for running for the office is to get the Libertarian message “out there.” COURTESY PHOTO Helker met his wife Lisa in California. The two have been married for 26 years, and they’ve raised a 14-year-old daughter who attends Golden High School. Helker joined the Libertarian Party about eight years ago. “The interesting thing about Libertarians,” Helker said, “is that overall, Libertarians are proud to be Libertarians.” The party’s message is “limited government and fiscal responsibility,” Helker said. “Libertarians believe the answer to America’s political problems is a fundamental commitment to freedom and voluntary interactions between individuals: a free-market economy and the abundance and prosperity it brings; a dedication to civil liberties and personal freedom; and a foreign policy of non-intervention, peace and free trade,” the Libertarian Party of Colorado’ website states. “Libertarians agree to work towards consistently reducing the government to produce minimum government and maximum freedom.” If Helker were to be elected as gov-
ernor, his No. 1 priority, he said, would be to “work on the common ground, rather than that which divides us.” “There’s got to be something that unifies us,” he said. Some of the top issues that Helker would take on as governor include the opioid crisis, water, housing and exemptions for the bankruptcy laws concerning student loans. During campaigning, he learned that Colorado’s rural communities have a big concern with roads, Helker said. He added their concern is not about congestion, as it is in the cities, but about getting their rural roads paved. If elected, Helker would offer alternatives to the government solutions to these — and other — issues, he said. The government is limited on what it can do “because of what government is,” Helker said. “By thinking outside of the government box,” he said, “you can find a huge wave of alternative ideas.” For example, Helker said, a solution to “potentially double the current water volumes in the Colorado River basins and refill our slowly depleting
aquifers” may be to reintroduce more beavers. Another example involves homelessness. Helker’s solution is to bring in more tiny houses. Probably a couple hundred tiny homes could fit on a 20acre plot of land, Helker said. If given the option to move into a tiny home, it could potentially provide a person facing homelessness an opportunity to start out with cheap rent or perhaps even become a homeowner. Helker can be considered an educational candidate, said Wayne Harlos, chair of the Libertarian Party of Colorado. “He has worked very hard to get the Libertarian word out,” Harlos said. In Delta, Colorado, Harlos said, Helker spent three days, from “sun up to sun down” campaigning during the town’s Applefest on Oct. 4-7. About 100 people followed up, requesting information so they could learn more about the Libertarian party, Harlos said. “Those are people who wouldn’t have had that curiosity if it weren’t for Scott’s efforts,” he said. Campaigning has been “a really nice journey,” Helker said. “You get to meet a lot of nice people,” he added. “It makes you proud to be a part of this state.” Even though he’s not a Libertarian, Helker’s friend Ron MacLachlan of Denver said he believes Helker would do a “fair and just job” as governor. Helker has the ability to truly listen to people, which makes him approachable and reliable, MacLachlan said. “He’s not a life-long politician who has lobbyists dictating where he goes, looking for the next photo op,” MacLachlan said, adding Helker’s campaign has been largely a grassroots effort. “His willingness to get out there … speaks volumes to his character.” This is the first time for Helker to run for any elected office, he said. And following his run for governor, he doesn’t have any immediate plans to run for another office. “But,” Helker said, “you never know.”
An Evening of Hope for pancreatic cancer Colorado organization has raised more than a half-million dollars for research STAFF REPORT
Paralympian Tricia Downing will share her story of resilience and self-discovery at the Evening of Hope fundraiser for Wings of Hope for Pancreatic Cancer Research. “We are excited to have Tricia as our featured speaker this year. Her message of
hope in overcoming insurmountable odds will resonate with everyone,” Maureen Shul, founder and executive director of Wings of Hope for Pancreatic Cancer Research, said in a news release. Downing, an author and motivational speaker, will deliver the keynote address at the event Saturday, Nov. 17 at Anschutz Medical Campus, Education 2, South Building, in Aurora. The fundraiser will include cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and a live auction, as well as a range of inspirational stories. Ticket and sponsorship information is available at
wingsofhopepcr.org or by emailing info@wingsofhopepcr.org. Since its inception in 2012, Wings of Hope has raised more than a half million dollars for pancreatic cancer research at the University of Colorado Cancer Center. “Despite more people being diagnosed, pancreatic cancer remains one of the most underfunded of all the cancers when it comes to research, making the funding raised by Wings of Hope all the more critical,” said Shul, who was driven by her own grief to launch the nonprofit organization.
“After losing my brother and mother to pancreatic cancer within months of one another, I founded Wings of Hope to find purpose and give meaning to all that was lost,” she said in the release. “When you lose the people closest to you, it has a profound impact on every facet of your life. The decision to begin Wings of Hope was entirely grief driven and changed the trajectory of my life.” The disease, which ranks third among the leading causes of cancer deaths nationwide, has lagged in research. “With no early diagnostic
methods, effective treatments or cure, the need for aggressive research is of critical importance,” said Shul, the founding mayor of Castle Pines. Because of the lack of early warning signs for pancreatic cancer, the chance of surviving, even for five years after diagnosis, remains just 8.5 percent. By the time of diagnosis, the disease is usually in an advanced stage. This year, more than 55,000 people will be diagnosed in the United States, though little more than 10,000 will survive, according to the news release.

Petition to halt car dealership rule deemed sufficient BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Centennial City Council will find itself in a partial replay of a 2016 political battle over development on East Arapahoe Road now that a petition to challenge a move by the council allowing for new car dealerships has been deemed sufficient by the city clerk. That means the council could choose to repeal the ordinance on new dealerships and possibly pass some kind of compromise, or the city’s voters will approve or vote down the ordinance in a special election, likely in March. Roughly 4,700 valid signatures sent the petition to success, more than 600 above the threshold petitioners needed to clear, according to results from the city clerk’s office. It needed about 5 percent of voters in the city to sign. The pushback comes in response to the council’s 5-4 split decision on Aug. 13 that green-lighted the possibility of new car dealerships on the Central Arapahoe Road Corridor — roughly between South Parker Road and Interstate 25. The conflict echoes the previous fight over development on Arapahoe Road in 2016, when resident Jill Meakins and now-Councilmember Tammy Maurer pushed a petition that stopped the city from allowing more car dealerships, among other types of businesses. In 2017, the council chose to repeal
an ordinance at the center of conflict and pass compromises after the 2016 petition, to avert the need for an election. What the city will do next will be discussed at the Nov. 5 council meeting, according to Allison Wittern, city spokeswoman. The petitioners, Michael Glass and Rhonda Livingston, submitted the petitions Sept. 13, according to a letter by the city clerk, Barbara Setterlind. Meakins and other residents in the area of the Central Arapahoe Road Corridor have expressed desire for other uses to fill vacant land in the nearly built-out stretch of the city, where car dealerships are the defining feature of the thoroughfare for several blocks. “We would rather see a restaurant there, or a mini-downtown,” said resident Annette Jewell, in a previous interview along with Meakins. Her desires echoed those of other residents who say they want different kinds of development — theaters, restaurants or other shopping, for example, that could benefit more families — on their central street. Former Mayor Cathy Noon has argued medical uses would be preferable. Financial transparency Supporters or opponents of a ballot question — in this case, asking voters to support or decline the council’s move to allow dealerships — are
A LOOK AT CORRIDOR RULES
required to register as what’s called an “issue committee” under state and municipal law if they are: • A group of two or more individuals, a business, or both, and • Have accepted or made contributions or expenditures of $200 or more to support or oppose that ballot question; or have printed more than 200 petition sections (copies of a petition) or more than 200 petition sections have been accepted. No New Dealerships on Arapahoe, an issue committee in support of the election to decide the dealership ordinance’s fate, signed a registration form with the city Sept. 10. All municipal filings under campaign-finance law are filed with the city clerk and posted on the city’s website, the city has said. Influx of dealers unlikely Ron Ferris, CEO of Pennsylvaniabased Bobby Rahal Automotive Group, is looking to open a dealership near East Arapahoe Road and South Potomac Street, at 13831 E. Arapahoe Place, where his company owns land. Only two sites adjacent to Arapahoe Road in the corridor are vacant and at least five acres in size — a requirement for a dealership development — so possible locations for new dealerships are limited, according to Derek Holcomb, deputy director of community development for the city.
In 2005, the City of Centennial limited several types of development on the Central Arapahoe Road Corridor, which roughly stretches from South Parker Road to South Yosemite Street. It prevented new drive-in or drive-thru restaurants, convenience stores and gas stations, car sales and rental services, and car washes from opening along that stretch of the road. After a 2016 vote by city council to lift the restrictions and a petition effort by residents to overturn that vote, the council passed a set of compromise measures in 2017. Among the new rules were that the restricted types of businesses could open in a redevelopment if part of a “master-planned development,” which the city defined as including at least four non-restricted businesses and 50,000 square feet of gross floor area. The exception for master-planned developments existed since 2005, but the new rules allowed it to apply to redevelopment, too. But car dealerships are the one type of business to which the master-planned development exception did not apply. A new ordinance passed Aug. 13 allows for new (not used) car dealerships to be approved on a case-by-case basis under conditional-use approval from city council, which is a public-hearing process. The Central Arapahoe Road Corridor technically stretches from South Parker Road to South Quebec Street, but the restrictions on types of businesses only run between Parker Road and South Yosemite Street, according to the city.

Talking about safe sleep for infants Free Denver workshops for parents, caregivers, infant-care professionals BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
It’s not common knowledge for people to know that 3,600 babies die every year because of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) or from a sleep-related infant death, said Alison Jacobson, CEO of First Candle, a national nonprofit dedicated to the education, advocacy and research of SIDS. “No one wants to talk about it,” Jacobson said. “But until we have those conversations, nothing will change. We have to talk about it.” To help, a partnership between First Candle and The Boppy Company — the Golden-based manufacturer of Boppy infant products — is bringing a special training class to the Denver area for the first time. The Straight Talk for Infant Safe Sleep classes will provide attendees an opportunity to learn about the Safe Sleep Guidelines developed by The American Academy of Pediatrics. They are trainings, Jacobson said, but “it’s really a conversation.” Attendees will be empowered with the right information and skills to

Both classes take place at the mama ‘hood, which is a place for newand-expecting mothers that offers a variety of classes and a curated retail boutique. The parent/caregiver class will entail an explanation of the top five of the approximate 18 Safe Sleep Guidelines, and the reasons behind these recommendations. The class will also include a group conversation to brainstorm what challenges parents face with meeting Safe Sleep Guidelines and how to overcome the
challenges. The group will also share past successes and create a network of support. This is education and training that’s difficult to find anywhere else, Jacobson said. And it needs to begin early, she added — even as early as when you start setting up the nursery, or even as soon as you learn you’re pregnant. The healthcare professionals’ class consists of a thorough overview of the Safe Sleep Guidelines and the reasoning behind each one. This class will also include group discussions, but also role play. Attendees will learn how to create a two-way conversation with parents and gain knowledge on how they can help parents create a plan to implement safe sleep and breastfeeding in each household that considers each family’s beliefs, values and living and working situations. Considering the average size of each class is 35-to-40 attendees, Jacobson said, following the training, each of those participants will have the knowledge and ability to reach at least twice that many people in their community. It is important to spread the word about this infant-care information and education, said Mimi Wogtech, marketing manager for The Boppy Company. The Boppy Company has had a longtime partnership with First Candle

What’s your favorite memory with the commission? My best and favorite memory is when I presented to city council the Senior Commission’s accomplishments throughout the past year and shared our next set of goals for the upcoming year. The city council applauded. I knew at that point, we had reached and listened to our senior community and brought a strong message to our city council so they had facts and data to make good decisions for our senior community.

Sterling Ranch dedicates first public park Pat Gallagher Park named after influential Roxborough resident BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Pat Gallagher was among a small group of people who contributed to the vision of Sterling Ranch, a masterplanned development in northwest Douglas County. He was instrumental in crafting a set of principles that would guide the eco-friendly, technology-driven community. Gallagher died in 2015, but a piece of him will forever live on in Sterling Ranch. On Oct. 15, the development team hosted a dedication ceremony for the community’s first public park, named Pat Gallagher Park. “We’re so glad that our dad had the chance to contribute to something so important in his later years in life,” said Barry Gallagher, one of three children of Pat and his wife Marcia. “This work meant so much to him.”

Sterling Ranch spans 3,400 acres west of Santa Fe Drive and south of Chatfield Reservoir. After a 20-year buildout, it is expected to have 12,000 homes with 33,000 people, along with schools, places of worship, shopping, recreation and innovative technology. When they were finalizing plans for the development in the late 2000s, founders
Harold and Diane Smethills held dozens of meetings with adjacent neighbors, stakeholders and governmental entities. That’s when they connected with Pat Gallagher, a resident of Roxborough, a small community west of Sterling Ranch. Gallagher and several other residents helped form “Eleven Points of Vision,” a set of
principals that prioritize the region’s environmental needs and infrastructure issues. Highlights include rainwater management, open space and trails. The guidelines have been at the forefront of the development process. In 2010, the Colorado Water Conservation Board selected Sterling Ranch for the state’s
first rainwater harvesting project. A storm management system will collect rainwater from commercial buildings and street gutters. The water will be stored in tanks and retention ponds. At completion, Sterling Ranch will have 30 miles of trails and open space will surround its dense neighborhoods. Today, nearly 200 homes in the community are occupied. Within five years, it is projected that there will be 2,500 households, according to a representative from Sterling Ranch. Gallagher’s family, neighbors and friends joined the Sterling Ranch community for the dedication ceremony, a media release says. They celebrated his “vision and commitment to smart and sustainable community development.” A plaque at the entrance of the park describes Gallagher as a “a brilliant businessman, husband, father and friend.” “May the homeowners enjoying this park remember and honor Pat Gallagher, who helped envision the neighborhood they now occupy,” it says.

After arrest, Broncos release backup quarterback Chad Kelly faces charge of first-degree criminal trespass BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Chad Kelly — at the time, the backup quarterback for the Denver Broncos — was arrested on suspicion of illegally entering a home in Englewood after midnight on Oct. 23, according to a news release by Englewood police. At about 1:20 a.m., police responded to a home in the 3200 block of South Lincoln Street on a report of a man standing outside, the release said. As they responded, police were told the man was inside Kelly the home, and he was chased out of the home by an occupant, the release said. Police found Kelly, matching the description given by the resident, in a black SUV in the area of the Gothic Theatre, about a block west, according to the release. The Broncos announced the morning of Oct. 24 that Kelly had been released, meaning he is no longer part of the team. According to an arrest affidavit, a woman inside the home was sitting on a couch near the front door and holding her young child, when a man entered the home and sat down on the couch next to her, “mumbling incoherently.” A man inside the home hit him with an aluminum vacuum tube in the upper back and kicked him out of the home, the affidavit said. An officer found no signs of forced entry to the home, and the man was caught on security videotape wearing a brown
vest and a red scarf around his neck, according to the affidavit. The clothing appeared “disheveled,” the affidavit said. Broncos players attended a Halloween party hosted by star linebacker Von Miller at the Gothic Theatre the night of Oct. 22. Police were aware of that party, said Sgt. Chad Read, spokesman for Englewood police. “I can only assume that Kelly attended the party, but cannot confirm,” Read said. Kelly, 24, was taken into custody without incident and jailed on a charge of first-degree criminal trespass. Officers did not observe any injury or markings on Kelly’s back from being struck with the vacuum tube, the affidavit said. He was released from jail on $2,500 bond. The investigation is ongoing, and Kelly is due back in court Nov. 8. Kelly, the nephew of hall-of-famer Jim Kelly, was drafted by the Broncos in the seventh round in 2017. He had been the Broncos’ second-string quarterback behind Case Keenum this season. In an Oct. 24 news release, Broncos General Manager John Elway commented on the team’s waiving of Kelly. “This was a decision that we made as an organization,” Elway said. “After reviewing all the information and in talking with (head coach) Vance (Joseph) and (team president) Joe (Ellis), we agreed that releasing Chad was the right thing to do. Even though Chad’s no longer part of our team, we’ve offered to help him however we can and are supportive of him in every possible way.” During his college career — which included stints at Clemson, East Mississippi Community College and Ole Miss — Kelly encountered off-the-field problems and sustained a knee injury as a senior. But he also flashed professional potential, twice being named second-team All-SEC at Ole Miss.

Daniel Pesch pleaded not guilty Oct. 15 to murdering Randy Wilson, after confessing to the death many times in 2017. The investigation into Wilson’s death has been troubled from the start, according to testimony and those close to the case.

With questions mounting about the murder charge against Daniel Pesch in the 2010 death of Kiowa High School teacher Randy Wilson, a look at the history of the case reveals an investigation that has encountered numerous problems. Pesch, 35, pleaded not guilty to Wilson’s murder in Elbert County District Court on Oct. 15. That arraignment came nearly 10 months since the day in December 2017 when Elbert County Sheriff Shayne Heap arrested Pesch. The arrest followed months of increasingly frantic confessions from Pesch in the second half of 2017 — murder confessions that he now says were the product of drug abuse and mental illness. Pesch’s arrest was seemingly a high point in the years-old mystery that had frustrated Wilson’s loved ones, who had waited in vain for answers after the beloved father and educator was found dead at a rural Elbert County crossroads in 2010. But a preliminary hearing in the

away on the date of Wilson’s death. Police records show Pesch has falsely confessed to crimes in the past. Deputy District Attorney Chris Wilcox said at Pesch’s October arraignment that prosecutors were still sorting through piles of materials provided by the defense, and that the state may request its own evaluation of Pesch. District Attorney George Brauchler — who heads the 18th Judicial District office that is prosecuting the case and is a candidate for state attorney general — declined an interview request. Pesch’s next court appearance will be in a pre-trial conference on Nov. 7. Sheriff unfamiliar with reports Though Pesch’s accounts changed many times, the gist of his confession was that he was driving along Kiowa-Bennett Road late on June 13, 2010, and pulled over for a flat tire, according to testimony from Heap at the May hearing. Pesch told investigators that Wilson stopped to help him change the tire, but the pair argued and scuffled, and Pesch knocked Wilson unconscious with a car door. Pesch said he took a belt, plastic bag and duct tape from his car, then bound Wilson’s hands with tape before covering his head with the bag and wrapping the belt around his neck. The confession bore several problems: Wilson’s hands were bound with three zip ties — one around each wrist, and a third loosely attached through his rear belt loop — not duct tape. Wilson’s autopsy found no evidence of a blow to the head that would have knocked him out. The only DNA found on the belt and bag was Wilson’s. Heap testified at the preliminary hearing that he had never read Wilson’s autopsy report, and had no idea if Wilson sustained head trauma. Heap further testified that he never
Frustrations grow Jenelle Reyna, who now resides in Parker, lived in a farmhouse a stone’s throw south of the crossroads of County Line Road and Kiowa-Bennett Road where Wilson was found in 2010. She said investigators never visited her house to ask if she or her family had seen anything unusual. In the days that followed, Reyna said, her family was on edge, worried that a murderer was on the loose nearby. Their fears heightened as they saw signs that someone had visited their barn — normally unlocked doors were locked, lights mysteriously left on, and cigarette butts were scattered around, though nobody in the family smoked. “We slept with guns by our beds,” Reyna said in an interview with Colorado Community Media. “I wouldn’t go feed the horses without a machete. I called the sheriff to come check it out, and I got no response. I called and emailed several more times, and so did my dad, but they never called back. We were scared to death and they wouldn’t acknowledge us.” In April 2011 — 10 months after Wilson died — Heap held a press conference seeking the public’s help in locating Krista Coppedge, a California piano tuner, who investigators believed was at a gas station in Bennett at the same time as Wilson in the final hours before his death. Heap said investigators had identified Coppedge from surveillance footage in the investigation’s early days, but they were unable to find her after months of searching. Reporters found the woman’s phone number “in less than five minutes,” according to a news report from the time. Speaking by phone from California recently, Coppedge recalled being horrified by the incident. “My phone started blowing up with reporters,” Coppedge said. “Finally investigators called to question me. I had nothing to offer. I just filled up on gas next to the guy. I was annoyed and scared that they put my name out in the media, with a murderer still on the loose.” Investigators later called back and asked for a DNA sample, Coppedge said. “That was when I told them I think I need a lawyer here,” she said. “After that, I never heard from them again.” Coppedge couldn’t understand why investigators couldn’t find her. “I’m in business for myself,” Coppedge said. “I try to make myself easy to find. I have a website, for crying out loud.” SEE PESCH, P23

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Re-elect Walcher as sheriff One of the most important decisions to be made while casting our ballots during the 2018 election is the responsibility to select those who will effectively serve our communities at the local level. The responsibilities of those elected officials serving at the local level are most meaningful, as those who serve closest to the community know the community best and serve the community best. Effective locally elected officials must be experienced, properly trained, wellqualified, proven leaders and dedicated to public service. The county sheriff is the elected office that most closely serves the community every day. Dave Walcher is the only candidate for Arapahoe County sheriff who has been tested and has consistently proven himself to be a dedicated public safety professional. Dave Walcher has demonstrated his commitment to providing our community with effective and efficient public safety services through his extraordinary experience and dedication to making a difference. The diverse, demanding and complex responsibilities expected of our county sheriff must be accomplished by a trusted individual with relevant training, experience and a well-considered vision for public safety. That person is Dave Walcher. Please join me in voting for a dedicated, experienced and proven public safety professional. Please vote to re-elect Dave Walcher as the Arapahoe County sheriff.

Vote for Brauchler George Brauchler is a proven leader for families, by protecting us daily from increasing criminal activity in our schools and communities. As district attorney for more than one million people, DA Brauchler implemented new rules to make felony prosecutions harder to suppress from the public. Communities have a right to know who is committing crimes, in order to keep our families safe. DA Brauchler’s leadership is exemplified by seeking and receiving funding to establish a human-trafficking unit. This required making the case to the commissioners of Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties, which comprise the 18th Judicial District. This humantrafficking unit is holding traffickers accountable, provides support to vulnerable victims along with support to those witnesses of crimes. By providing guidance to one of Colorado’s largest school districts to make policy changes, DA Brauchler has helped to protect students from teachers like former Prairie Middle School teacher, Brian Vasquez, who was recently convicted of abusing several girls at the school. He is fighting to have lawmakers expand the statute of limitations so victims have more time to report a crime. It is for the above reasons, I want an attorney general with proven experience protecting our kids and communities. George Brauchler is that person. He is the right choice for Colorado’s next attorney general. Experience matters. Pam Cirbo Littleton SEE LETTERS, P15

Lottery win isn’t necessary to be winner in generosity
H
ow about the excitement most of us recently experienced during the lotteries? Mega Millions turned into billions of dollars and Powerball, WINNING as of the writing WORDS of this column, is creeping up on a billion dollars too. Wow, talk about excitement, energy, and hope … just incredible. Now I know that we all don’t play the lottery, as a matter of fact, I Michael Norton am not someone who would normally play the lottery either. And in other posts and blogs I really advocated for people not to gamble their life savings away or compromise their ability to pay their bills or provide for their families as they caught up in lottery fever. Yet, like many of you and others around the country, I had this feeling that I should at least buy a ticket or two. After all, you got to be “in it to win it,” right? I mean the odds are in our favor at a 1 in 300 million chance to win?
What I have enjoyed most as I watched the pot build and the potential winnings escalate week after week is talking with the people who were so hopeful and optimistic. Or overhearing those same conversations by others near me in a restaurant, in the grocery line, or on an airplane. The hope was contagious. You know how the conversations go don’t you? You have probably heard them or have been in them yourself. And they sound something like this, “When I win the lottery I am going to …” or “If I win the lottery I am going to …” And we can fill in the blanks with everything that we have heard or maybe even thought of ourselves. Pay off all my debt and the debt of my family. Donate 50 percent to charity. Buy a house in this neighborhood or that city. Support my church and the missions that we finance. Buy a boat, no not a boat, a yacht. No not a yacht, a fleet of yachts. And the list goes on and on. It is fantasy land, it is fun to dream, it is a vortex of hope in the land of hope and dreams.

Vote no on 112 I am asking you to join me in voting no on Proposition 112. It would put 85 percent of non-federal lands in Colorado off limits to drilling for oil and natural gas. You can find the report prepared by the state government that came up with this figure at cogcc.state.co.us, dated July 2, 2018. The remaining lands in Colorado would be effectively off limits as well because of the proposition’s deliberately vague language. I can’t think of any other legislation or ballot initiatives in recent history that would shut down an entire industry. There would be significant tax and employment losses to Colorado. Proposition 74 is leading in the polls, and if it passes too, the state could have to pay billions on compensation for mineral rights and leases that would be rendered worthless by Proposition 112. Two years ago, the state strengthened the rules and regulations regarding drilling for oil and gas. These

I am proud that my parents and I have worked in an industry that provides the oil and natural gas which are essential to the prosperity and standard of living we enjoy today.

There has been a loss in the state share of funding to the tune of $25.1 million that would have gone into the district’s operating budget over the past decade.

And Colorado teachers are the most underpaid in the nation, according to one study. Amendment 73 would raise $4.8 million for Englewood Schools and it gives our district the control needed to address its biggest priorities. This proposal creates equitable and sustainable funding for our schools by having those who have benefited the most from our booming economy contribute more, coming closer to paying an equal percentage of taxes as others. All the while keeping Colorado’s status as a low-tax state. Even with Amendment 73 passing, it will take more than five years of this new funding to repay the past shortfalls. Amendment 73 will help fix a broken state funding system that places too much pressure on districts to pass local property tax measures. Everybody wins when our kids attend well-resourced, inviting classrooms and learn from caring, dedicated educators. Our students deserve nothing less. Vote Yes on Amendment 73.

Clarification on assessor’s duties Ms. Engel’s letter supporting PK Kaiser is potentially misleading to the senior citizens of Arapahoe County. The property tax exemption for senior citizens is a State of Colorado program that is administered by the local assessor’s office. The assessor does not have the power or legal authority to “increase exemptions for seniors” as stated in the letter. The amount of the exemption and annual funding authorization are set by the state and not at the county level. Similarly, the assessor’s office does not build affordable housing, finance affordable housing, or even approve affordable housing projects, so any “work to expand affordable housing” is clearly outside the scope of the assessor’s duties. The voters of Arapahoe County need to be aware of these inconsistencies and conflicts between campaign rhetoric and the actual duties and obligations required of the county assessor.

long with traffic and housing costs, the population boom in the Denver metro area can affect a less obvious part of residents’ lives: navigating the dating world. “While that doesn’t make us different from New York or San Francisco, it is a change here,” said Dr. Tracy Bacon, a sociology professor at Arapahoe Community College in Littleton. “It makes dating a lot harder because dating is expensive.” From deciding when to move a relationship under one roof to the types of people in the dating pool, Bacon said, a changing population can make the nerve-wracking process even more complex. Added obstacles among young people
can affect looking for marriage, too. “Most people do still get married eventually, but I feel like with millennials, the difficulty with finding financial stability, finishing education and having all these student loans can make a long-term marriage commitment seem kind of far off,” Bacon said. But singles can also benefit from a wealth of ways to meet people in the metro area — and it goes far beyond sitting awkwardly in a bar or swiping through faces on a phone. Young and crowded Many people are moving for reasons like tech-industry jobs or education, and young professionals may have a large dating pool in the Denver area, Bacon said. SEE DATING, P17
t will surprise no one to hear that there are many, many differences between life in New York City and Denver. But comedian and podcaster Crystal Beth has come across one that may not be immediately obvious to most. COMING “I asked people for ATTRACTIONS recommendations on good therapists, and found out people here don’t really talk about that,” she said. “In New York, all we do is cry on the subway and talk about which therapist we’re seeing.” Beth and her husClarke Reader band John Robert moved to Colorado about five months ago in search of more affordable space to do what they love—- tell stories, whether that’s through a microphone or on a stage. “We wanted a room that we could dedicate to our podcasting operation and have permanently set up all the equipment we use for our shows,” Beth explained. “We’ve also started Box W Media, a company that will hopefully allow us to produce podcasts for others.” The pair recently wrapped up a podcast called “The Fifth Eleminute” which was a minute-by-minute examination of the cult-favorite science fiction film. They’re also part of Unlimited Lives Radio, a video game c podcast they host with Carlo Rojas i and T.J. Del Reno. w Telling stories is a talent Beth m picked up from her mother. It was from her mother’s example that Beth t learned what makes a good story (or s joke) — having a good button at the h end that calls back to the beginning. t “You want something that brings m w it all together,” Beth explained. “A good story doesn’t have to be happy all the way through or anything like t that. But it does need to make the lis- c tener feel like the speaker is talking b directly to them.” p The world of podcasting is evergrowing and competitive, which C means that while there are plenty of opportunities for people to talk about t what they love, not everybody has the talents to make it entertaining or turn y podcasting into a sustainable business. t Like all things, developing a good pod- B 3 cast takes dedication and practice. “I love stand-up comedy, but I don’t m do it to become a famous comedian,” Beth said. “I do it to work on my writ- L ing, develop my voice and figure out m what makes people laugh.” Beth’s work allows her to not only discuss things she loves, but also to be open about struggles with anxiety, insecurities and other challenges that she and so many other people SEE READER, P17

For people who aren’t as educated or have lower income, dating may be difficult here, Bacon guessed. “Theoretically, anyone can fall in love with anyone,” said Bacon, adding that people can find love across educational divides. “But realistically, we end up with people who are a lot like us.” The Denver-Aurora-Lakewood metropolitan statistical area — which includes Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Gilpin, Jefferson and Park counties — was ranked by Forbes as the sixth-best metro area nationwide for young professionals based on factors like the unemployment rate, job growth and other factors in 2017. People age 20 to 34 made up about 23 percent of that metro area in 2017, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. That metro area also had the 10thhighest percentage of college graduates among people age 25 to 34 in large metro areas nationwide, according to a February report by the Brookings Institution based on 2015 numbers. For out-of-state residents moving to the metro area, meeting people can be difficult, particularly if they have jobs where they work remotely in their apartments, said Dr. Mary Ann Watson, a clinical psychologist and professor emerita at Metropolitan State University of Denver. And when young people do meet, housing can become a challenge, Bacon said. “Younger people are living with their

Much like stand-up comedy, podcasting is a predominantly male industry. But Beth is eager to work with women, people of color and members of the LGBTQ community to tell stories and share voicies on stages (both physical and digital) that have otherwise been shunted off to the side. As long as they don’t become more successful than her, she adds with a laugh. “I love helping people get to where they want to be,” she said. “Even if it conflicts immensely with my need to be the center of attention.” Stay up to date on Beth’s efforts and podcasts at www.thecrystalbeth.com. Celebrate Diá de los Muertos with a cultural wallk Halloween is on a Wednesday this year, which makes it a little difficult to properly celebrate the holiday.

part in meetups, centering around interests like dogs, cooking, tennis and “all sorts of opportunities,” Watson said. “I find that’s usually much more helpful. Particularly, volunteer opportunities are a good way to meet people.” Craig Barber, a Littleton-area resident who runs meetups on the 5280 Singles, 5280 Singles Over 40 and 5280 Singles Adventures groups, said young singles should stop relying so much on technologies. “Social media isn’t even social,” said Barber, whose meetup groups boast more than 10,000 members combined. “Social is talking.” But online dating can have its upsides, and it’s much less stigmatized than it was years ago, Bacon said. “When online dating came out, people were like, ‘Oh, what’s wrong with you?’” Bacon said. But “in some ways, it makes it easier — you can weed people out. When you’re in a city with so many people, it’s much more efficient.”
Online and face to face Despite the popularity of dating apps like Tinder, many people in their 20s often continue their “college kind of dating experiences” — namely, in bars, Watson said. “I’m not sure that’s a very good setting,” Watson said. “In a bar with 200 people there, there might be one or two people more compatible with you.” Watson contrasted that with volunteering or attending a meetup, a group activity organized online. Meetup.com has options throughout the metro area — from Castle Rock up to Thornton and in between. People age 30 and up commonly take
Gender and age The nickname “Menver,” given to Denver because of a perceived gender imbalance, dates back years and has caught on in local media — and the statistics appear to back it up in the dating world. In the metro area — the broad Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, 10-county definition — males outnumber females roughly 224,000 to 183,000 among ages 20 to 34 for people who have never married, according to 2017 Census Bureau data. That gap remains wide all the way up through ages 55 to 59, according to the data. For LGBTQ singles, gay bars sit in
from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 2. The hub of the event is the 40 West Arts Gallery, 1560 Teller St. in Lakewood. All of the district’s galleries, studios and creative businesses will be open to the public and visitors to the district will see multiple exhibits inspired by Diá de los Muertos, including altars and pieces by local grade school students. Aztec dancers in traditional costume and fire artists will also be performing. For more information, visit www.40westarts.org.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Jim James at the Paramount Theatre There are certain singers who can do things that seem practically inhuman with their voices. Kentucky’s Jim James, the lead singer and songwriter of My Morning Jacket, is one of those singers for me. This year James has released two albums with different approaches on the same songs — “Uniform Distortion” and “Uniform Clarity.” In honor of the albums, James is going on a first-ever solo tour, featuring just him and longtime touring drummer David Givan play songs from his entire oeuvre. He’ll be stopping by the Paramount Theatre, 1621 Glenarm Place, at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 6.
Getting another shot at prom as an adult in RiNo Prom is one of those events that our culture has turned into a major life milestone, when for most people, it was just another in a long line of school dances. For those who want another crack at the whole prom thing, RiNo is giving adults a chance with the RiNo Prom, beginning at 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 10 and ending around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, the 11th. Prom will be held at the B-Spot Gallery, 2750 Blake St. in Denver. This 21-and-older event will feature everything that go into traditional proms —- gowns, tuxes, limo rides and dancing. But there will also be no curfew, spiked punch and more. For tickets, visit www.eventbrite. com.

central Denver — people in places like Aurora, Highlands Ranch and the outskirts of the metro area are “kind of restricted to coming into town,” Watson said. Other options include LGBTQ choruses and even LGBTQ issue-based groups, given the current political climate, Watson said. Many meetups are geared toward LGBTQ residents in the area. For older singles in their 60s and 70s, existing friends can be a road to new connections, Watson said. “Let them know you’re open to meeting new people or dating new people,” Watson said. Meetup groups are successful with older singles, too, said Watson, who encouraged them to rekindle activities and interests they haven’t taken up since earlier in life. Celeste Tarantola, an Arvada resident who said she’s middle-aged, was looking to get out and interact with people after a relationship ended. She doesn’t believe in dating sites, she said, but meetups “got me out of my apartment.” She sat at one such event Oct. 26, watching people learn steps to a country-style dance at Stampede, a country bar and club on the west edge of Aurora. Barber, who organized the event and sat next to Tarantola, said in an area with such an influx of outsiders, people will encounter different viewpoints, and it’s important to listen and be caring. But in general, his dating advice boiled down to having fun. “Go out and do the things you like,” Barber said. “Live life, because life is short. That way, at least you’ll have something in common.”

Rox Arts Gallery moves — a little Aspen Grove venue remains in center but changes units BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Aspen Grove shoppers may have noticed a parade of folks carrying paintings, panels, pottery and miscellaneous items up the sidewalk recently. How do you move an art gallery a short distance? The new address for the Rox Arts Gallery at Aspen Grove is Suite 330, after individual artist/members were called upon to schlep their own works, plus display fixtures, a short distance north from the former address, Suite 514, to the new space, Suite 330, just north of Starbucks. It is a larger space — almost twice as large — which promises room for more artists, according to an early October note from Rox Arts Council President Priscilla Wohl. (New artists are juried in — see roxartscouncil.org.) The council had originally rented their space on a month-to-month basis, to see if this was a viable idea. And it has been an attraction to art lovers, shoppers and people interested in attending classes, offered at varying levels of difficulty, including for kids — in various techniques. A dedicated space for classes will

Members are juried into the organization. be a welcome addition, as things had to be moved around to make space in the former gallery. Since Aspen Grove management had a new national chain tenant wanting Suite 514, the gallery had to vacate by the end of October. Fortunately, a new, larger space was available — Rox Arts Gallery got new keys Oct. 15 and now has a longterm lease. Current members volunteered to clean, paint, install new slat walls, build storage and more, within a short time frame. Roxborough Arts Council is a longrunning, membership-based 501(c) (3) organization that includes artists from throughout the south metro area and opened its gallery last week at the new address. Since moving is always expensive despite volunteer help, a silent auction of works donated by members will begin Nov. 2. Art will be on display from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays to Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays, with a Grand Reopening reception on Nov. 9 from 5:30 to 8 p.m., where successful bidders will be announced.

purchase home that night. One can drop off a written bid until into the evening on Nov. 9. (I can imagine some last-minute excitement that night, with bidding getting competi-
tive for some items!) There will also be a GoFundMe page accessible through the website — or donations will be welcomed. The move will cost an estimated $8,000. Contributing artist/members include: Kathy Beach, pottery; Jim Bennett, photography; Rita Campbell, watercolor; Tom Cooper, photography; Patty Dwyer, oils; Tracy Eagle, fabric; Kari Erickson, pottery; Julie Fisher, watercolor; Candace French, mixed media; Jeanie Gebhart, acrylic painting; Pat Greener, fused glass; Leah Hendricks, mixed media; Brian Hubbell, oils; Patricia Jenkins, resin; Karen Kennedy, mixed media; Holly Lanham, jewelry; Tony Lazzari, photography; Maryann Leake, mixed media; Teri McCans, watercolor; Michaela May, pottery; Randy May, sculpture; Tammy Medsker, resin; Valorie Snyder, oil painting; Donna Trunz, jewelry; Brynda Turner, silver jewelry; and Priscilla Wohl, jewelry. The perfect holiday gift may be waiting there. Gallery hours conform to Aspen Grove’s regular hours for its nearly 50 merchants: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays-Saturdays; 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays. A monthly open house, with artists in attendance and refreshments, is held the second Friday of the month. The gallery won’t miss a beat, starting with the Nov. 9 celebration.

Jackass Hill Brewery: Five things to know Craft brewhouse set to open on Main Street in December BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Jackass Hill Brewery is slated to open this winter — hopefully before Christmas — at 2409 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton. Here are five things to know about the hot new place to get a cold brewski. Started on a front porch You may have seen Jackass Hill Brewery T-shirts floating around town. The brewery, which until now has existed in name only, is the brainchild of Pat Somers, a longtime Littleton resident. Somers has long invited friends and neighbors to watch the sunset from his porch near Jackass Hill Road, said Darcy Coghill, one of the brewery’s co-owners. Somers started calling his porch Jackass Hill Brewery, and printed up T-shirts with the name. When Somers started selling the shirts at Western Welcome Week, people asked when the brewery would open for real, Coghill said. “Pat got a bunch of his old friends together, and we found a location, and here we are,” Coghill said. Brewer’s been around the block Jackass Hill Brewery landed an ex-
pert brewer in Brian Reinecke, Coghill said. “We couldn’t ask for a more experienced guy,” Coghill said. Reinecke started brewing at home in 1993, he said, and landed his first professional job in Kansas City in 1995. In the years since, he’s worked for Breckenridge Brewery, Southern Sun Brewery, and most recently was the head brewer for Sleeping Giant Brewing. “Brewing just makes me happy, plain and simple,” Reinecke said. “I plan on spending a lot of time behind the bar, but I also like to mingle incognito with the patrons so I can get unfiltered feedback.” For conoisseurs and amateurs Jackass Hill Brewery will feature 24 taps, Coghill said. “The plan is for half of those to be our own brews, and the other half will be guest beers,” Coghill said. “We’re going to try to keep it to Colorado beers. We’ll also have a small range of small-batch spirits.” The beers don’t have names yet, Coghill said, but early selections will include a blonde ale, a single-hop IPA, an Irish stout and a seasonal porter. “I’m also going to try to hit some other niches,” said Reinecke, the brewer. “I want to do some gluten free, some ciders — something for everybody.” The plan is to offer something for the discerning beer snob, Coghill said,

as well as for newbies to the world of craft beer. “It’s a brewpub, too, so we’ll have food like chips and salsa, quesadillas and charcuterie boards,” Coghill said. Get ready to get educated Coghill said she hopes to educate people on the finer points of specialty brews. “We want to make beer approachable for those who are just learning or want to broaden their knowledge,” Coghill said. “We’ll take people on an adventure through different styles.” One plan, she said, is to make three or four different beers with the same recipe, but with a different type of hops in each one. “You’ll be able to taste them side-byside and learn the subtle differences,”
Coghill said. A place to gather All told, Jackass Hill Brewery will have seating for 200 people, Coghill said, with 80 seats indoors and another 120 on an outdoor patio. Coghill said she and her cohorts are busily refurbishing the building, which was previously a bank. “It’s going to have a more rustic Colorado feel,” Coghill said. “That means lots of brick and barnwood.” Coghill said the company is excited to be part of downtown. “The merchants here are so active in creating engaging events for the community, and we want to get in on that,” Coghill said. “We want to give people another reason to come to Main Street.”

CU South Denver launches executive education program
FROM PAGE 12
‘Beyond their capabilities’ In the months after the press conference, Wilson’s brother and one of his five sons made public appeals for anyone with information to come forward. Speaking to a reporter from his home in Alabama, Wilson’s brother, Loren Wilson, said in June 2011, “I do believe the Elbert County investigators may be operating beyond their capabilities and experience.” Elizabeth Orton, Pesch’s attorney, advanced an alternate theory of Wilson’s death at Pesch’s preliminary
hearing. Wilson’s death may have been an elaborate suicide, she said, citing a new life insurance policy Wilson took out on himself in the months before his death that would not have paid out after a suicide, and a note found in Wilson’s car, parked near his body, detailing the disposition of his finances. Wilson’s death occurred on the return leg of a solo trip to visit relatives in Montana, just weeks after his youngest son graduated from high school. Wilson’s family declined to comment for this article.

The University of Colorado South Denver recently announced the launch of its new executive education program at its campus in Lone Tree. The program is designed to provide training for people looking to further executive careers or improve on skills sought after by high-level executives. The program is being developed with the help of the Arapahoe/Douglas Works! Workforce Board. Arapahoe/ Douglas Works! is a member of the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment’s network of workforce centers providing services to help job seekers and businesses. Board members helped provide a list of valuable skills that employ-
ers are looking for in potential employees. “We have been very careful in identifying what business leaders need in order to be successful,” said Joann Brennan, associate vice chancellor at the University of Colorado. She said the programs answer the questions of “What are industries and businesses telling us they need in terms of talent walking into the door, knowledge and how can we help some of those gaps?” Various interpersonal skills along with things like writing ability and being able to collaborate are some of the skills the group identified as highly sought after by Douglas and Arapahoe county employers. Some of the programs the school currently offers in its executive education program
are Executive Presence and Networking, Minority Business Acceleration, Executive Management Essentials and Leading Organizational Change, among several others. Brennan said more programs will be rolled out as more research of the type of skills employers are looking for becomes available. “We know the programs will evolve as the community evolves,” Brennan said. We’re “understanding the interest in these programs and what community members can tell us what they’re looking for.” The CU South Denver campus opened in the Wildlife Experience building in 2014. The campus specializes in leadership and career development. The campus also holds various community events and lecture series.

Littleton Museum volunteer Ted Grooves holds up one of the many pendulums he had on display at his booth in the blacksmith shop. PHOTOS BY KALYCA MCGUIRE BY KALYCA MCGUIRE SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
The Littleton Museum invited friends and locals to listen to ghost stories and learn about the history of how people attempted to communicate with the dead on Oct. 19. There were four bonfires across the museum’s 1860s farm, where people could listen to rotating ghost stories told in the first person as well as roast marshmallows, drink hot cider, and tell their own ghost stories. “ I think some people just come for that,” said Andrea Wilhelm, a historical interpreter at the museum. Along with the bonfires and the ghost stories, they also had different activities set up in the blacksmith shop, showcasing “tricks that they would have used during seances or to pretend that there’s ghosts” as described by Wilhelm. The first booth showcased how people could receive written messages from beyond, in which messages were written in lemon juice and held over a flame. Another booth explained how people used pendulums to ask spirits questions — the person holding the pendulum would decide which way the pendulum should swing for yes and for no before asking the question. The volunteer at this booth, Ted Grooves, said that “in reality though, it’s an altered movement, the subconscious will actually drive your fingers, but the mediums wanted you to know that the spirits were contacting you.” The old house also had old tricks people used to tell their future, mostly revolving around marriage and luck. One of the activities included a group

Cecilia Hunter, a volunteer during the Walk with the Dead, shows people how mediums wrote messages from beyond.
A family attempts to predict their future love lives with this six-candle game in the 1860s farmhouse of people standing in a circle surrounding candles of different colors. Each color was assigned a certain fate having to do with what kind of person they will marry in the future. People were given three chances to blow out the candles, with their eyes closed and standing in one spot, and whatever candles one blew out corresponded with their future partner.

NORTON FROM PAGE 14
A friend of mine in Australia, Martin, recently reminded me of something that has nothing, and yet everything to do with our recent lottery frenzy. He was telling me about a moment of personal reflection and prayer where he felt led to act upon the thought, “Don’t worry about doing something big Martin, just do something good.” Think about that for a moment. We g don’t have to win the lottery to do something good, we can be doing good right now. As always, I love talking with people in the community. And as I waited in line to buy my own tickets, I really enjoyed the conversations I had with people. The smile in their eyes, the hope in their hearts, their very best of intentions revealed if only they could buy the winning ticket. Hope was born. Now I am not saying that they didn’t already have hope, but I think you would agree with me that the recent lottery fever had many people even more hopeful than they were before. With all of those millions and billions of dollars we had won in our minds, we were willing to change our lives, our family’s lives, our community, our house of worship, and in some way even the world. It feels so good to hear those thoughts and have those thoughts doesn’t it? Let’s take away the millions and billions of dollars for now, as it is only a matter of time before we do win. But let’s pretend that we never win that much money, can
r
we still find that same passion and sense of purpose of how we can help others? Can we think about the changes we want to make in our own lives, as small as they may be, and make those changes anyway? Can we walk into the store to buy something other than a lottery ticket and still have hope filled and hopeful conversations with people we run into? Can we donate a few dollars instead of millions? As I close I want to share with you something Zig Ziglar used to say about money. Zig would say, “I have had money and I haven’t had money, all things being equal, I would rather have money. Money is kind of like oxygen, when you really need it, there is no substitute. But here’s the thing with money; money will buy you a bed, but not a good night’s sleep; money will buy you a house, but not a home; money will buy you a companion, but not a friend; and money will buy you a good time, but not peace of mind. You see, we want all the things money will buy, but we also want more of the things money won’t buy.” So how about you? Are you hope-filled and hopeful whether you win the lottery or not? Can you make good contributions today and not wait or worry about having to do something big? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can remember just how powerful hope is, and how we can make a difference today, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the president of the Zig Ziglar Corporate Training Solutions Team, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Football player has sky-high hopes Gianni Palazzo of Heritage sets sights on Air Force Academy
I
BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
G
ianni Palazzo plays football and runs track at Heritage High School. So it’s natural to figure he might find a relaxing way to spend his free time. However, Palazzo hopes to get into the Air Force Academy, and most of his off time is focused on making sure he has the grade point average and meets the eligibility requirements to attract the attention of Air Force. “I’m trying to get into the Air Force Academy and everything I do is to get into there,” said Palazzo. “I have a lot of homework because I’m in a lot of AP (Advance Placement) classes. I do some clubs. I did TSA (Technology Student Association) club last year. I like to build stuff.” The 5-foot-10, 180-pound senior is building a solid resume with a high average per carry and reception that might appeal to AFA football coach Troy Calhoun or other college coaches. “Half-time I’m in the backfield and half-time I’m a slot receiver,” explained Palazzo, who abandoned soccer as a youngster to play football. “Last year I was a quarterback. I was really good at running back and I wasn’t the best at quarterback. Coach wanted to get me out in the open field with the ball. “I don’t know the national average is but I know mine is better. If I keep averaging over 10 yards per carry, it will get college coaches to look at me. I want to get a lot of good film to send to coaches and be a good leader for my team.”
COACH’S TAKE: ‘He is having a spectacular season and is a great kid that is looking to go to Air Force.’ Tyler Knoblock Heritage football coach
JIM BENTON
Q&A with Palazzo Who is your favorite athlete? I’ve always like Charles Woodson and Aaron Rodgers. They are Packers and Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback in the NFL right now. What would be a perfect performance in your sport? Over 160 yards and three touchdowns because I’m trying to keep the average up
to 10.0 yards per carry and two touchdowns per game. What is your favorite class in school and why? I just enjoy math and I’m calculus 3 right now. What are your plans after high school? Hopefully get into the Air Force Academy and if not go to a college and get a degree in engineering.
What is your favorite football play? Power, which is just a run play. How to you feel about the new safety rules in football? I don’t like them that much because it changes football. Normally you could hit somebody hard and that was a great play, now it’s a foul. It takes away from the game.
Have a suggestion for whom to feature in Student-Athlete Spotlight? Email Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Key stats | In the eight games, Palazzo has rushed for 611 yards for an average of 76.4 yards per game and 9.1 yards per carry. He has caught six passes for 135 yards for an average of 22.5 yards per catch. And he leads the 4A Metro League with 15 touchdowns and 90 points.
have admitted this before, but often I have a tendency to like the old way that things were done. However, I welcome the change the Colorado High School Activities Association adopted for the state volleyball tournament with the elimination of pool play. The tournament will now be a three-day afOVERTIME fair instead of two days and matches will have a good chance to start when scheduled. Along with the extra day, many fans will still have to deal with the adventure Jim Benton of maneuvering their cars around the dips in the parking lot at the Denver Coliseum. But, at least after getting parked, they won’t have to watch a meaningless pool play match between two teams that have already been eliminated from advancing by the third team in the pool. All five classes will qualify 12 teams for the state tournament, which will be held Nov. 8-10 at the Denver Coliseum. An Olympic cross-over double elimination bracket format will be used to determine the semifinal teams and then it will be single elimination. Regional tournaments will be held Nov. 3 and the 12 regional champions from three-team regional pools advance into the state tournament. “I am looking forward to the new format,” said Lutheran coach Alicia Oates who is in her 14th season as Lions coach. “I feel like 3A this year will have a really strong bracket across the board, so it will be exciting to see how it plays out. A team could lose in the first round and still come back to win the entire tournament. “It will also be beneficial to not have tie-breakers pushing back start times. As with any change, I am sure there will be some feelings of `I liked it better the old way’ but in the long run I think it will be great competition, a fun environment and a welcome change.” Valor Christian coach Kaitlyn Hastings also casts a vote in favor of the change.

Cross country titles decided at course in Colorado Springs BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Cherry Creek cross country coach Ethan Dusto knew his team had a good chance to finish second in the state cross country meet Oct. 27 at the Penrose Event Center in Colorado Springs. Mountain Vista was the strong favorite to take the championship, and the Golden Eagles did just that. The Bruins finished in second place ahead of Centennial League rival Cherokee Trail. Creek lost the Centennial League title to Cherokee Trail on Oct. 11 by three points despite having five girls in the top 10. However, it was a different story at the state meet. The Bruins, with three freshmen, a sophomore and three juniors on the seven-member team, were 44 points behind Mountain Vista, which won its second straight title. “We knew going into this it was going to take a real good day on our part to beat Cherokee Trail to get second place,” said Dusto. “We knew Vista wasn’t in our league. We went after it. We had six kids in the top 40 at the mile. That set the tone and those girls just stayed together, pushed each other and had a strong finish.” Heritage was third in the boys team standings, with senior Ian Kelly leading the way with a seventh-place finish in 16:14.5. “The first couple miles were a little tough, but then I picked it up,” said Kelly. “It’s all the mentality, knowing you can do it. It takes time. It’s just a matter of believing in yourself. If you believe in yourself, you can do it. I did good. I put it all out there and that’s all you can do. I’m happy.”
• The boys cross country team was third in the Class 5A state championships held Oct. 27. Senior Ian Kelly was seventh in the individual standings with a time of 16:14.5. Cory Kennedy was 13th, Tyler Watkins 33rd, Michael Beck 49th and Austin Plunkert 68th.
Ian Kelly crosses the finish line in third place at the Oct. 27 Class 5A state cross country championship meet in Colorado Springs. Kelly, a Heritage senior, finished the course in a time of 16:14.5. He and his teammates combined for a score of 115 to finish third in the field of 20 teams. TOM MUNDS
For the Creek girls, Riley Stewart capped a banner freshman season by finishing fifth to lead the Bruins. Shelby Balding, another freshman, was 11th and junior Lauren Lap Porte was 13th. Stewart, who was timed in 18:42.5, was the race leader at the mile mark but two-time state champion Jenna Fitzsimmons of Mountain Vista soon took the lead and notched what turned out to be a 13-second victory over second-place Taylor Whitfield of Valor Christian. Cherry Creek had two boys run as individuals and freshman Parker Wolfe was fourth. Wolfe was clocked in 15:56.9. “I felt like I ran pretty well,” he said. “I worked hard all season and it paid off. The first half mile I was behind and back in the pack. Once I hit the mile mark, I started to go.”
“I really do like the new format,” she said. “The majority of us coaches in Jeffco were in agreement that this avoided a lot of the issues we saw with the old format. There is no need for tie-breakers which at times would often set up one or more teams for a disadvantage coming in to the semifinals and finals, having played many more sets than the opponents. “There are not matches that are being played that don’t have an impact on the outcome of the tournament. “It keeps things running on time so that the state championship match is at a set time and not dependent on tie-breakers and delayed until late evening as it has been every year we have been at the tournament.” Hastings, the third-year Eagles coach and a former head coach at Denver West and Hart County in Hartwell, Georgia, had to adapt to less preparation time during the state tournament.. “In Georgia where I was previously coaching, we had one round of the playoffs each week, so it was spaced out and you could really prepare for the one team you were going to play and we played at the higher seed which gave the upper seed a home-court advantage,” she explained. “I definitely like elements of this as well but there is something to be said about the great atmosphere that is at the Coliseum with all the teams vying for a championship.” Best turnarounds The 5A football regular season wrapped up Oct. 27 and there were a few teams that have made big turnarounds this season and deserve to be mentioned. Castle View, Westminster and Smoky Hill struggled in 2017 and finished with 1-9 records. The Sabercats and Westminster headed into their final regular season games with 7-2 records and Smoky Hill was 9-0. Todd Casebier is the first-year coach at Castle View and Tom Thenell took over as Smoky Hill coach. Kerry Denison is in his 10th season as Wolves coach and has restored the program after back-to-back 1-9 seasons. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You usually have no problem rushing to the defense of someone you perceive as being treated unjustly. But perceptions could be deceiving this week. Check the facts before you act. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Before you point fingers at who might be to blame for the unexpected change in your plans, take a few moments to reflect on how this turn of events might be a blessing in disguise. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You seek out advice in the first part of the week. But be careful not to let counsel from others overshadow your own sense of perception. Things become clearer by the week’s end. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The trusted colleagues you relied on earlier continue to offer support with your project. But you take more control, and by the week’s end, you should be in full command. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Rely on your practical side while exploring investment possibilities. Caution is still your watchword in these matters. Your social life takes a gratifying turn by the week’s end. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An already confusing situation appears to grow murkier during the first part of the week. But it all starts to clear by the week’s end. Plan to spend the weekend with someone special. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a passion for life that inspires others to follow your example. You could be a motivational speaker.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Keep your feelings to yourself as you work through an awkward circumstance. Complaining is useless, and also unwise since your words could come back to haunt you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A sudden flash of Bovine practicality shows you how you might be able to turn your artistic pursuits into a profitable venture. A spouse or partner offers some sage advice. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be prepared with several “Plan Bs” that you might have to use as backups just in case you encounter some troublesome complications with your carefully constructed schedule. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might think you’ll never have a free moment again with the demands of the workplace piling on. Cheer up. The pressure eases as holiday time nears. An old friend brings good news. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your Leonine pride might make it difficult to offer an apology to a co-worker you unintentionally offended. But a quick and sincere “I’m sorry” could prevent problems down the line. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a good time to tackle those backed-up chores that have kept you from moving into other, potentially more worthwhile projects. A personal matter needs your attention.
