County prepares for Election Day 34,000 ballots already sent in amid forecast of high turnout

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com As of Oct. 25, more than 34,000 ballots had already been returned in Douglas County for the 2013 election that will decide four school-board seats and help determine the outcome of two state ballot measures.

According to the county’s clerk and recorder, Jack Arrowsmith, that number accounts for just under 18 percent of the approximately 193,000 ballots that have been

mailed out. That said, Arrowsmith predicts that this year’s turnout could easily be over 50 percent and very possibly closer to 60 percent. School board elections in 2009 and 2011 brought out 27.4 percent and 48 percent of registered voters, respectively.

“One can never tell what voter turnout is going to be,” Arrowsmith said. “But I would predict that we are going to have a much higher turnout than we did in 2011.”

For those who still need to register, mail registration closed Oct. 15 and online registration closed Oct. 28, but people can register in person at any of the five service centers throughout the county —

regardless of where they live — right up until 7 p.m. Nov. 5 when polls close. Weekday hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at all five centers, as well as 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 2 and 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day. Registration is open to all new Colorado residents who have lived in the state since Oct. 15. Inactive voters who did not receive a ballot must update their voter registration in order to participate.

According to Arrowsmith, residential addresses will be verified on site at time of registration, making accompanying ballots immediately valid.

Voters can expect to see early election results at www.

douglasvotes.com by 7:30 p.m. Nov. 5 and they will be updated every 90 minutes throughout the night, he said.

Bull moose causes stir in Parker Officials believe sighting is first ever for town

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com A young bull moose caused quite a stir in two Parker neighborhoods before being tranquilized and relocated.

The moose traveled through gullies, drainage ditches and greenbelts throughout Parker.

The first reports came in to Douglas County authorities the night of Oct. 25 from residents in Stroh Ranch. The Parker Police Department received calls starting around 7 a.m. Oct. 28 after the moose was seen southwest of Jordan Road and Lincoln Avenue in the Stonegate subdivision, said Sgt. Andy Coleman, spokesman for the Parker Police Department.

The Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife responded and monitored Parker residents while they gathered to catch pictures of the moose. Police warned people to not get too close, as moose are known to charge when they feel threatened.

The moose rested in brush near a recreration trail for more than two hours, and shutterbugs waited in the cold, damp

weather to get the perfect shot. That moment came around 2:15 p.m., when the moose stood up and took a drink from a puddle in a creek bed.

Justin Olson, the wildlife officer at the scene, said his first priority was making sure there were no issues when school let out at Pine Grove Elementary on Stonegate Parkway. The moose was three blocks away about an hour before classes were scheduled to be dismissed Oct. 28. Recess was held indoors.

The moose allowed spectators to take photos from as little as 20 feet away, and Olson described it as “very docile.” However, he kept a close eye on its behavior to make sure it didn’t display signs of agitation or aggression.

Wildlife officials initially said tranquilization would be a last resort because of the potential stress it causes to the animal.

Officers expected the moose to move on once darkness set in, but when they saw the morning of Oct. 29 that he had traveled only 100 yards, they decided that tranquilization would be in the best interest of the moose and residents because of the continued public attention, said Jennifer Churchill, spokeswoman for Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife.

“We do everything we can to protect

Residents take photos of a young bull moose near a recreation trail in Stonegate Oct. 28.

Road projects, building construction and a wave of new hires are on the agenda if Parker Town Council approves the proposed 2014 budget.

Finance director Don Warn said he expects the town to collect a record $91.3 million in revenue next year, of which about one-third will be spent on capital outlay. Another $651,000 will cover the cost of seven new staff positions Warn and salary increases.

Warn presented highlights of the 2014 draft budget to town council during a study session Oct. 14. It will be presented to the public during a meeting at 7 p.m. Nov. 4 at town hall, and again on Dec. 2, before final approval.

The town expects to take in $38.8 million in taxes, accounting for 41 percent of Parker’s total revenue. Another $20.1 million will be generated by “other financial sources,” according to a pie graph in Warn’s presentation to town council. That money will come from certificates of participation, or COPs, which are expected to fund the expansion of the Parker Recreation Center and a new public works building, he said.

Although COPs are a widely used financing tool in the metro area, critics have labeled them as a creative way for government entities to fund major projects without voter approval. The Town of Parker is paying off $44 million worth of COPs used to fund the simultaneous construction of the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center and the Parker Police Department headquarters. The town is using existing revenues to pay off the debt.

Less than $10 million was spent on capital outlay this year, but the town plans to spend $33 million in the same category next year, of which $20 million will come from the COPs. Operating and capital Budget continues on Page 9

County unveils preliminary budget Nearly $242 million in expenditures anticipated

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com The 2014 Douglas County preliminary budget shows no increases in taxes or fees and an anticipated revenue stream that falls $5 million short of anticipated expenditures — a difference that will be accounted for out of the county’s reserves.

This year’s expenditures, currently anticipated to be $241.8 million, are highlighted by $51 million slated for public safety, $43.7 million on capital improvements and infrastructure, $32.8 million on health and human services and $29.2 million on public works. The four categories account for 65 percent of all expenditures.

Specific big-ticket items are led by the $13.4 million planned to be spent on concrete and asphalt projects, as well as other aging infrastructure maintenance, most of which will occur in Highlands Ranch, said county budget manager Martha Marshall.

Other items of note include $3 million in match funding for the C-470 expansion project; $2.3 million for the U.S. 85 connector project near Titan Road; $2 million for the final phase of the justice center expansion project; $1.3 million for the Lone Tree

2014 proposed county expenditures • $13.4 million: Contracted maintenance concrete/ asphalt • $3 million: Match funding to C-470 Corridor Coalition • $2.3 million: Roxborough/US 85 connector

• $2 million: Final phase of justice center expansion • $1.3 million: Lone Tree Light Rail Partnership • $1 million: EastWest Regional Trail Extension • $350,000: Front Range Corridor Trail

Light Rail partnership with RTD and the City of Lone Tree to help complete the southeast extension and fund three new stations; and $1 million for the East-West Regional Trail Extension, a multiagency and jurisdiction project that plans to construct the final eight miles of trail to connect Lone Tree and Parker.

The bulk of the anticipated $236.8 million in revenue will come from property taxes, $104.5 million; sales and use tax, $47.7 million; intergovernmental business, $35.6 million; and services, $32.1 million, according to finance director Andrew Copeland. “(The commissioners) made it clear that the budget should reflect fiscal conservatism and that it shouldn’t include raising or growing government, raising taxes or fees and that we should try to be efficient, effective and stay focused on being good stewards of other people’s monies, but also make sure what we do spend is furthering the board’s goals on behalf of the community in a manner that actually helps solve

Is the loss of instructional time at the high school level of concern to you?

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.

DISTRICT B Barbra Chase Very much and I find it ironic that this current board promotes the idea of ‘school choice’, yet limits the choices of our high school students by forcing high schools onto a schedule that reduces the amount of instructional time and last year prevented many students from taking a full schedule. These students have only one chance at a high school education and many of them are finding it difficult to get into the college of their choice due to the loss of academic rigor in our schools.

Jim Geddes - No response DISTRICT D Julie A Keim Yes. The loss of 10 hours of instruction per high school class concerns me greatly, as it negatively impacts all students. High school budgets were cut to the point that more funds stay with District administration, than come down to our classrooms.

Principals have been forced to eliminate rigorous class choices and many students now attend school part-time. These losses caused 10 students to graduate as juniors last year, at my son’s high school alone. We must restore adequate funding to DCSD schools before one more student loses the opportunity to be educated to the best of their ability.

Judi Reynolds Given the improving test scores, there is no current data that shows that the loss of instructional time decreases student achievement.

However, given that the change has been in place only one year, I plan to closely monitor the high school TCAP and ACT scores for any sign of decreased achievement.

DISTRICT E Douglas Benevento (incumbent) -No responseBill Hodges Very much so...our students are not able to compete in the workforce or in college/university admittance due to a lack of rigor.

DISTRICT G Meghann Silverthorn (incumbent) I believe the quality of instruction is of greater importance than the quantity of it. The result of the change in high school schedule was to lower class sizes and to provide additional options for kids. When the opportunity was offered to principals to extend the school day to bring instructional minutes up to previous levels, not one chose to do so. Everyone from educational experts to colleges and universities agrees that academic rigor is what matters.

Ronda Scholting I’ve talked to dozens of high school parents who are very concerned about the lack of choice their children have in Douglas County high schools, coupled with the drop in graduation requirements and how both impact their child’s ability to succeed. They don’t believe a Douglas County diploma means as much as it used to.

Warhorse Inn to close after 30 years Longtime owner ready to tackle new pursuits

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com The Warhorse Inn, arguably the most well-known independent restaurant in Parker, is closing its doors after 30 years.

Stevan Strain, the venerable owner of the Warhorse Inn, recently turned 60 and is in the process of selling because he wants to take on new pursuits. The beloved restaurant has been a fixture of East Mainstreet in downtown Parker since it opened in 1983.

“It’s been a great privilege and adventure, and an

educational thing to be in this business for 30 years,” Strain said in his distinctive Southern accent.

The Warhorse Inn has been the site of anniversary dinners, Mother’s Day brunches, business transactions, retirement parties and political campaign kickoffs, among many other events. Debbie Lewis, who celebrated her election to Parker Town Council at the eatery in 2000 and again in 2012, says it has become part of “the fabric of the community.”

“It’s hard to see something like that go. It’s been here for so long,” said Lewis, who has been a regular customer at the Warhorse, as it’s known locally, for all 30 years of its existence.

Strain has kept the doors open for nearly the last year

to enable his 27 employees to find new jobs. Now that he is down to just six workers, the Warhorse is only open Wednesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner.

Strain spent 40 years in the restaurant business, and although he is unsure what his future holds, he is satisfied with his decision to sell. He wants time to reflect on his next venture without having the pending sale weighing down on him, he said, before adding a final pitch: “If anyone is interested in coming in to get Parker’s best burger or our mushrooms tempura, this is the time to do it.

Once it’s gone, it will not be the same recipes. It will be under a new name.”

Strain is in final negotiations with a group that

wants to honor the downtown district’s heritage with a new restaurant called the Parker Garage. It will pay homage to an iconic garage and gas station that was built in the same spot in 1916.

“I believe the restaurant we’re trying to bring in has a great chance of being the No. 1 restaurant in Parker,” Strain said. “It’s unlike anything that’s ever been here before.”

The Warhorse Inn has become an institution, one that has been a constant presence for longtime residents. Lewis described it as “Parker’s Cheers,” referring to the 1980s sitcom based on a Boston bar where everybody knows your name.

Upon hearing the news of its impending closure, Lewis’ 29-year-old daugh-

ter shed a few tears. During a recent visit home, Lewis’ daughter ordered every one of her favorite dishes in one meal. Lewis said locals will miss the friendly, “comeas-you-are” atmosphere.

“It’s the passing of an era,” she said. “The older you get, the more difficult it is to lose these things.”

Strain was the winner of the 2004 Cornerstone Award, an honor that celebrates an individual’s contributions to the community. He has been on numerous volunteer boards and continues to serve on the Douglas County Planning Commission, the Douglas County Open Space Advisory Commission and the Parker Foundation board of directors.

When asked if he will stay in Parker, he emphatically

answers: “without a shadow of a doubt.”

“Many years ago, as a young man, I traveled the U.S. deciding where I truly wanted to live, and I picked Parker. And I still maintain that it’s the best place to live,” he said.

Originally part of the Littleton Creamery, the land on which the Warhorse sits was sold to Roy J. Woodbury, who built the garage and gas station. A destructive fire ripped through the building in 1929, but it was rebuilt similar to the original. In 1944, the building was turned into a feed store and later, in the 1960s, used as a tack shop until the Warhorse opened in 1983.

There is no specific timeline for the closure of the Warhorse and opening of the Parker Garage.

Equestrian yoga not such a stretch Animals’ feedback helps reinforce techniques

By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com At the start of a recent yoga class, some were restless, their hooves trying to take them somewhere else, but near the end of class, heads were dropping low and some seemed to be sleeping.

This even though there was thunder — a storm building not far from the outdoor arena in southeast Douglas County.

That’s typical, says Daniela “Danny” Chapparo, 43, an equestrian and yoga teacher and owner of Ashva Yoga studio in Castle Rock, who in addition to other classes offers equestrian yoga workshops.

She said the classes are mainly for the horses’ riders, who exercise on the horses and sometimes off, attempting yoga positions while near or leaning against the horse. The yoga and breathing exercises help a rider become more flexible and balanced on the horse, and also noticeably calm the horses.

Chapparo said the horse is a great teacher.

“Horses live in an emotional environment. It wants to flee if it senses danger,” she said.

The horses mirror the emotion sensed from the riders and help the riders become aware of their emotional state — something they wouldn’t get by sitting on a mat. “It’s a whole different awareness,” Chapparo said.

Chapparo, who gives talks to various groups, such as at the February National Convention of Competitive Trail Riders, said “breathing is a subtle energy movement in the body” that horses can sense.

She said when a rider tries breathing techniques - such as exhaling twice as long as inhaling, it often calms a horse so quickly, it’s like “you’ve flipped a switch.”

Riders learn subtleties of their horses’ movements and behaviors — big and little things. For example, Chapparo told students that when a horse is licking its lips,

by Virginia Grantier it’s processing what’s happening, or what’s being asked of it. When the horse finishes processing, it predictably will give a little sigh, as if to say “I know what you want me to do,” she said.

Often people with no yoga experience or horse experience and no horse — school horses are available — take the class.

Workshop participant Jo Knize, a physical therapist and longtime yoga practitioner, says the horse and saddle is a great stabilizer of the pelvis for yoga movements.

“Yoga has made a huge difference in my life,” Knize said at the workshop. “I’m not a horsewoman 10.25 in. … haven’t been on a horse in 20 years.” She said recently “the equestrian yoga event was a surprisingly exhilarating

occurrence for me.”

Chapparo, 43, grew up in Germany, where her parents had an appliance store, and spent time on her grandparents’ farm.

She was an equestrian, studying jumping and dressage. But she dreamed of coming to America, enamored by the Western lifestyle, the freedom, the open prairie.

When she was 14, she remembers going to a bank and exchanging marks to get one “cool” U.S. dollar to carry in her wallet.

After college, she had bachelor’s degrees in math and computer science and in 1995 was able to participate in an exchange program and get a software-engineering position with a Highlands Ranch company.

She would later buy a horse, Abraham,

who would change her career. In 2003, he bucked her off onto hard ground, and she sustained a lower-back fracture.

During months of rehabilitation, she took yoga for pain relief and to avoid surgery.

She said yoga completely changed her body and she spent about six years studying yoga and getting certified to teach.

Eventually, she realized how the techniques helped her horsemanship and her horse. She would notice a shift in the horse’s energy when she did breathing techniques. “He was calmer, more in sync with me,” she said. She had friends riding with her try it, and it worked for them, and because of that and other benefits, she started developing the equine program.

Grant supports fitness for law enforcement Courses to be taught in Highlands Ranch

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com With help from a $10,000 grant from AT&T of Colorado, the Highlands Ranch Law Enforcement Training Foundation will be improving the fitness of officers from multiple agencies throughout the state, including the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

A great deal of the money will go to the Law Fit Program to fund the training of instructors from the 64 state, federal and local agencies that make up the foundation. The nationally used program is designed to teach how to screen applicant peace officers as well as to help keep veterans in better physical and mental condition.

The program was developed in 1989 by George Mason University professor of health David L. Bever in response to a growing concern for the high number of disabling injuries suffered by law enforcement in Virginia. Since its inception, according to the Law Fit website, those involved with the program have reported both a reduction in injuries and work-

ers’ compensation claims as well as an increase in officer fitness levels.

“Unless law enforcement agencies are willing to place sufficient emphasis on developing

and maintaining fitness levels which allow their personnel to perform effectively in high-stress situations, they will be faced with ongoing disability claims from officers in less-than-optimal

condition who are injured in the line of duty,” the site states. “Additionally, these agencies will be vulnerable to lawsuits when their less-fit personnel are unable to perform their policing duties in

a manner that protects the safety and welfare of the general public.”

The program puts together a number of fitness goals and tests for participating officers that help to build strength, endurance and increase flexibility.

“Without the grant, the agency would have had to pay to host or send instructors to a Law Fit class,” said Sgt. Ron Hanavan, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office spokesman. “Tuition will be free to any of the 64 participating agencies that are members of the HRLETF.” In addition to two Law Fit courses that will be hosted at dates to be determined at the Highlands Ranch facility off Santa Fe Drive, Hanavan said money will be used to buy new workout equipment and improve the outdoor obstacle course that is on site.

Founding HRLETF board member and former Douglas County Sheriff Steve Zotos will manage the grant. Current foundation board members include Douglas County Sheriff David A. Weaver, Undersheriff Tony Spurlock and Bureau Chief Holly Kluth.

crime report Shoplifter caught with cartridges

About 11:45 a.m. Oct. 15, officers responded to Walmart on a report of a shoplifter in custody. A loss prevention officer observed a 19-year-old woman select three printer ink cartridges and conceal them in her purse.

She attempted to leave the store when loss prevention contacted her and she admitted to taking them. She was issued a summons for theft.

Scammer tries extortion

Around 9 a.m. Oct. 16, officers responded to the 11000 block of Blackthorn Court on a report of a possible criminal extortion. During the investigation, officers learned a person received a phone call from a long-distance area code that morning. The caller had an accent and asked for information on family relatives, which was provided by the victim.

The caller then made threats against family members on the phone and demanded money. The victim called the respective relatives and verified they were safe and hung up on the suspect. Upon

officers’ investigation into the case, it was determined the caller was a “scammer” whose tactics are consistent with the “grandparent scam” currently being seen across the nation, the police report said.

Officer pleads guilty to Ecstasy charge Parker resident served on Littleton force Staff report A Littleton police officer pleaded guilty and faces up to 20 years behind bars for planning to sell Ecstasy pills.

Jeffery Allan Johnston, 46, of Parker, entered a guilty plea Oct. 28 to one count of possessing Ecstasy with intent to distribute and one count of being a prohibited person in possession of firearms. He is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Philip A. Brimmer in February.

Johnston was arrested after the FBI learned from an unidentified source that Johnston was selling MDMA out of his Parker home. He was taken into custody in July after buying 37 pills and 6.3 grams of Ecstasy powder from an undercover officer.

A federal search warrant was executed at the home, where agents found a stainless steel Colt Officers Model .45-caliber pistol

with seven rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber. It was found above the kitchen drawer that contained the drugs. Investigators eventually discovered a small amount of cocaine, steroids, hundreds of prescription pills, additional firearms, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in the residence. They Johnston also found eight other firearms, including an AR-15 and two 12-gauge shotguns.

Johnston faces not more than 20 years in federal prison, and a fine of up to $1 million for possession with intent to distribute MDMA. He also faces up to 10 years in federal prison, and a fine of up to $250,000 for being a prohibited person in possession of firearms, specifically an unlawful user of Schedule I controlled substances while possessing multiple firearms.

Johnston has resigned from his position with the Littleton Police Department.

A Douglas County Sheriff’s Office deputy was dispatched to the 10600 block of Worthington Circle in reference to a criminal mischief to a house under construction. Upon arrival, the deputy contacted the superintendent for the site.

He had locked the doors at 6 p.m. the previous night. He returned at 7 a.m. the next day and found the front door kicked in and the doorjamb splintered, allowing entry into the house.

The home interior was finished on all three floors, but there was no indication of damage or theft. He did not have any suspects, however, he believed it could have been someone who works there and just entered to complete some work.

About 8 a.m. Oct. 23, a Douglas County Sheriff’s Office deputy was dispatched to

9558 Pearl Circle on a report of a vehicle trespass. A 43-year-old man who works for Kaiser Permanente in Denver left his HP Elite computer in his truck in front of his house around 10:30 p.m. Oct. 22. He discovered it missing around 6 a.m. the next day.

He has been having problems with the automatic locks on his pickup. He believes when he locked the truck with the remote, one door did not lock. There was nothing else missing and no damage to the truck

Shortly before 7 p.m. Oct. 26, a deputy responded to a report of a theft, later discovered to be a third-degree burglary, at the intersection of Tanglewood Road at State Highway 86.

The reporting party discovered that the neighborhood community mailbox had been broken into.

The outgoing mail compartment on one of the boxes appeared to have been forced open.

There was what appeared to be a black pry mark on the frame near the lock and the forced compartment was empty.

The worst ever — let’s start with the bad ones — were the early John Elway-era Broncos helmets. I thought a middle school student had won a horse-drawing contest.

A rearing bronco was located in a decent block “D.” The horse was snorting. As a classic Dan Aykroyd character, “Bad Cinema” host Leonard Pinth-Garnell, said, “Astonishingly ill-chosen.”

But someone came along, looked at a Ford Mustang logo, and came up with the current helmet graphic. Not very creative, but it is a lot better than Flicka was.

A close second was the Miami Dolphins helmet pre-2013. It showed a dolphin wearing a helmet. No chinstrap. The dolphin was leaping in front of, not through, an orange hoop. “Stunningly bad.”

The Washington Redskins, currently and justifiably being scolded for their nickname, once had a helmet with a single feather up the back, starting at the base. The current helmet emblem is almost as bad.

Oregon has a different look every week.

Against Washington State they wore Pepto Bismol-pink helmets. If worn every week,

they would be the worst ever. “Monumentally ill-advised.”

The cardinal on Louisville’s helmet has teeth. “Stunningly bad.”

Tennessee has the worst helmet logo in the NFL. I don’t know how to explain it.

A spiky “T” in a circle with three red stars.

Spewing from the upper left are what?

Powder blue and red flames? Powder blue and red are b-a-d together. The agency that came up with all of this should be avoided.

Miami of Ohio. I don’t have the vocabulary. Look it up. “Couldn’t be worse.”

Honorable Mention: Akron, Maryland, New York Jets.

The Best Ever? University of Michigan. Go Blue. The helmets are iconic, and recognizable around the world. M. Pibul-

Commitment is the key to building will power “Stay strong!” “You can do it!” “Don’t give in!” “Keep the faith!” “Stay the course!”

Many times when we begin the pursuit of a worthy goal such as losing weight, stopping smoking, saving money for a specific reason, or getting into shape we very quickly come to the crossroads of temptation and will power.

It’s at this intersection where we find ourselves face to face with the desires that drive us toward our “wants” and where our resolve to adhere to our goal or plan becomes tested. And that’s when we have the proverbial angel on our right shoulder and the devil on our left shoulder. The angel is encouraging us to stay strong, reminding us that we can do it and not to give in. And then that little devil on the opposite side pushes us and nudges us and whispers in our ear that, “Its OK, one doughnut won’t hurt, go ahead take a bite, you can start again tomorrow!”

Will power is easy for some and much harder for others. Typically people with strong will power are very goals oriented and results driven. When they set their sights on a target, there is not much that they will let stand in their way once they commit themselves and begin their quest towards that goal.

However, there are many more of us who struggle with will power. The thoughts or ideas of pursuing a worthwhile goal come easily enough as we really do want to make a change or difference in our health, in a struggling relationship, or in attempting to quit a bad habit. And sometimes we want these things so badly we jump in eagerly towards the “fix” that we blow right by the planning and expectations phase and forget how important it is to set realistic milestones where we can measure our success along the way.

Commitment is a big word when it comes to will power. And in order to be committed and dedicated to that which we are pursuing, we have to be able to Norton continues on Page 11

songkrimpud of Bangkok, Thailand, said, “Wolvereenies,” when he was shown a photo of the helmet.

The University of Delaware swiped the design, but that’s OK because no one knows where Delaware is. Next to the Carolinas, I think.

The old Los Angeles Rams helmets, yellow-gold on dark blue, were exceptional.

The origin of the ram horn design is a good story. “In 1948, halfback Fred Gehrke painted horns on the Rams’ helmets, making the first modern helmet emblem in pro football.”

Cleveland didn’t get the memo. The Browns are the only team in the NFL with nothing on their helmets, other than a stripe. Pittsburgh has a logo on only one side — which is a good trivia question.

The Seattle Seahawks have a great helmet logo. It reads from a distance, and it is an effective truncation. Compare it to the “busy” Washington State image, which tries to be both a roaring cougar and the school’s abbreviation. In other words, is it a floor wax or a dessert topping?

For some reason, many of the schools that have the most impressive history, have helmets that are completely uninspired

When do you start holiday shopping?

Elect a woman to Congress

“What a sad state of affairs we have come to in Washington, D.C.” So says Rep. Cory Gardner in his Oct. 1 press release on the government shutdown. What an incredibly hypocritical statement from someone who is a big part of the problem.

Mr. Gardner doesn’t like “Obamacare,” and he has demonstrated he is willing to go to any lengths to stop it — shut down the government; put 800,000 people out of work; risk the credit rating of the United States government; and send the economy into a tailspin.

Mr. Gardner must have cut class when they taught the Constitution he is sworn to uphold. “Obamacare” is the law of the land, passed by both houses of Congress, signed by the president, and tested in the Supreme Court with the conservative chief justice casting the deciding vote. Amendment XIV of the Constitution says “the public debt of the United States ... shall not be questioned.” Perhaps Mr. Gardner believes his mission puts him above his constitutional responsibilities.

The break in the congressional logjam began when Sen. Susan Collins (Republican, Maine) spoke in the Senate. She and the other 19 female senators who form the “Women’s Caucus” put together a bipartisan proposal that led to the Reid/McConnell agreement, subsequently approved all around.

A CNN poll released on Oct. 21 says 86 percent of us disapprove of the job Congress is doing. The women have demon-

Check the logic

If DCSD lost its top tier ranking during the 2009-10 academic year, then the current board, elected in November 2009, must have inherited a deteriorating academic environment. But, that’s using anti-board logic.

question of the week

— starting with Penn State. They look like scout team helmets. Poor Penn State. It’s more like State Pen these days.

The “Ns” on Nebraska’s helmets were purchased at a Lincoln hardware store.

Oklahoma experimented with an italic “OU” for a while, but they have gone back to dullsville. Still, the interlocking “OU” is better than that “N.” Some schools are using new matte helmets. Notre Dame’s will blind you. Maybe that’s the plan.

The least of the least? Alabama, currently ranked number one. Each helmet is different, and do you know why? Each player’s number is on his helmet.

Louisiana State has “LSU” on its helmets.

I guess they’ve never heard of kerning, which is “the process of adjusting the spacing between characters.” Beneath “LSU” is an impossible-to-read tiger head, so LSU makes it in two of my categories: worst and least inspired.

Pinth-Garnell said, “There, now, that wasn’t so good, was it?”

Breast cancer awareness is healthy, needed We need to find a cure.

Currently I have three friends in the early stages of either diagnosis or treatment of breast cancer. Others I know are heroic survivors who have battled it bravely, and when I was a hospice chaplain I encountered those who reached the end of life after their initial diagnosis was breast cancer.

All cancers are bad. They cause suffering and the treatment is expensive. My 27-year-old niece has recently been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. It is frightening but thankfully she was diagnosed early. My son’s testicular cancer shocked our family — he just ran a marathon to celebrate five years cancer-free and a strong recovery. We are rejoicing. My basal skin cancer that is near my eye is a concern, even though it is not life-threatening. And my wife grieves the loss of her mother who passed from this life to the next over 25 years ago.

There are so many people affected by a large variety of cancers, and I have included friends and family today because it seems that no family or circle of friends remains untouched by cancer.

There has been a great amount of progress in medical care and treatment, but we need to find a cure for cancer. It needs to

be eradicated, like polio nearly was when Jonas Salk developed the safe and effective vaccine. I’m old enough to remember kids and adults with braces on their legs from paralytic polio.

I also remember the Sunday afternoon when my family went to the elementary school to take a drop of medicine on a sugar cube that in five years reduced from 25,000 per year to single digits. We hardly ever hear about it anymore and we need that kind of cure for cancer, so the day comes when people remember it, but few are experiencing it.

Quick research at the breast cancer awareness websites revealed to me a lot of worthy organizations fighting the disease.

But I did not see any organized religious or spiritual efforts to pray for a cure. I am going to pray more and maybe someone who

reads this column will accept the challenge to launch the ministry that prays for the cure for breast cancer or all cancers.

Of course, there are many who pray for healing and churches all over our town have lists of prayer requests filled with people fighting breast cancer and other cancers. Prayer addresses the spiritual and emotional needs of the patient and family, in addition to the physical illness of the sick, plus it connects with the Divine who promises a healing beyond this life with a new body, where there is no more sickness or sorrow, tears or pain.

But in addition to that, the faith community should pray for a cure — that a doctor, scientist or even a student in a lab at a university hospital will miraculously discover the cause that can be prevented, or a medicine that reverses the tumor without side effects or a lifestyle that guarantees a cancer-free life.

Maybe the element we are waiting for in the chemistry for a cure is a nationwide movement of prayer for a cure.

Breast cancer attacks a woman at her most feminine and nurturing part of her body. It impacts her health and sense of beauty and worth. Scripture contains a name for God that reveals how much He

understands and cares about this particular cancer. In the original languages of Scripture, the nature and personality of God is explained with the names that He inspired the writers to use to identify Him. One name was El Shaddai. In our Bibles when we see the name translated into Most High or Almighty it usually is referring to this name and the nurturing part of God. The description of God’s caring nature is “tender as the breast of a nursing mother.” He calls his children to come and receive the care, intimacy and nourishment that comes directly from a nurturing God eager to care for his needy, crying and hungry child.

Many in our community do not understand this part of God’s nature. It is as if the nurturing and caring part of God has been diseased and removed from our culture.

Perhaps we can experience a double cure as we reach out to God, first to care for us with tenderness and love and then to provide a cure for breast cancer, because, for both, we need to find a cure.

have a plan, see what victory or success looks like, and manage our expectations along the way. It’s like the person who is not in very good physical condition and wakes up one day and decides they will begin working out immediately that morning. Instead of going in with a plan that starts slowly and builds their muscle strength and endurance up, they rush right in and do as much as possible on day one. I applaud the initiative, but then day two happens and the person wakes up so sore and in so much pain that they can’t go back to the gym for days. Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months, and you know the rest of the story.

Will power is one of those terms that is easy to say, sounds good, and even feels good when we say it. It is so easy for others to use as a statement of hope and encouragement. But at the end of the day, will power is a very personal thing. We have to want to make the changes in our lives more than any other person. We sure do appreciate their love, support, concern, and encouragement, however as the old saying goes, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me!”

first make sure we understand the “why” behind the goal, that it is in alignment with our truest beliefs and values, that we can commit to the actions necessary, that we have a support team, family member, friend, or coach that can help us when needed, and that we define what success looks like along the way. And that last one may very well be the most important. Too often we get caught in the trap of wanting to achieve our goal without putting in the effort or hard work necessary to complete it or see it through, expecting immediate success or change.

Will power is the ability to say “no” to the things we know that can detract us from our goals or mission, and saying “yes” to the things that are harder but lead to the results we desire. Zig Ziglar used to remind me all the time that, “We don’t pay the price for success, we enjoy the benefits of our hard work.”

How are you doing when it comes to will power? Are you paying the price or enjoying the benefits? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we learn how to manage our will power, it really will be a better than good week.

Kids’ fidgeting normal, necessary Movement researcher calls for change in classrooms

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Physical movement is crucial to learning, and schools need to adapt classroom furniture and teaching styles around that concept, according to Dieter Breithecker.

Breithecker, director of the Federal Institute for Posture and Mobilisation Support in Germany, talked about his research and beliefs at Northridge Elementary Oct. 24.

The movement-oriented educational style is a dramatic change in philosophy from that of traditional education, which encourages children to be still and listen, typically while seated in rigid chairs at individual desks.

“Fidgeting is not naughty, it’s necessary,” Breithecker said. “Movement shapes the brain and sharpens your mind.”

He advocates for furniture that allows children to rock, stand at high desks and even lie on the floor.

Northridge already is on board with Breithecker’s concept. This fall, it replaced the traditional chairs in its computer lab and mobile classrooms with flexible, ergonomic chairs.

“Our principal really believes in this — that kids need to move,” Northridge School Accountability Committee member Kristen Kidd said. “We couldn’t afford to buy for the whole school. So we’re looking for grants to replace the rest of our furniture.”

To illustrate his points, Breithecker didn’t allow parents to sit throughout his hourlong talk, but ordered them to stand, move and think about the resulting men-

Breithecker’s research shows movement — particularly in the first 12 years of life — helps establish vital connections in the brain.

It also helps regulate blood sugar and oxygen levels, and contributes to a child’s overall well-being.

Movements some characterize as “fidgeting,” are “intuitive, spontaneous physical actions” that enhance mental and emotional engagement, Breithecker said.

Sitting still has the opposite effect, he said, making concentration more difficult.

“The traditional classroom is one of the worst possible places for human complex-

ity,” he said. “It’s not only the furniture, it’s teaching methods. We have to say goodbye to all those old paradigms.”

It’s a shift many Douglas County teachers already are making, one in tune with a districtwide emphasis on collaborative learning.

Breithecker said teacher-centered learning is boring and restrictive for activity-oriented children.

He advocates for teaching methods that urge students to move, and a classroom setup that gives children a range of physical options.

“We have to accept every student in the classroom as an individual,” he said.

“Some need more movement, some need less movement.

While Breithecker believes movement has played a vital role in human evolution, both children and adults have become increasingly less physical over time.

“A century ago, people were walking around an average of 10 miles a day,” he said. “Today, an office worker walks onehalf mile a day.”

It’s a trend he hopes to reverse with the youngest generation.

“The complex human system — the intricate balance of body, mind and soul — is not designed to sit still,” he wrote in his paper “Bodies in Motion.”

Decreased graduation requirements at issue Budget-induced cut among changes drawing debate

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Changes to the district’s high school graduation requirements have prompted finger-pointing among candidates for the Douglas County School Board — part of a broader discussion about recent policy changes and their impact on local teens.

Citing budgetary constraints, the school board decreased graduation requirements by 1.5 credits in early 2009.

Board president John Carson and board member Justin Williams were the only two current members who voted on that decision, which cut a credit of social studies and one-half credit of speech from the requirements.

“The recession was really kicking in then,” Carson said. “Nobody wants to make cuts like that, but we took a big reduction in per-pupil funding in those years.”

Despite the reducsaid. “But they GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS tion from 25.5 to 24 haven’t made IN OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS credits, DCSD’s graduany proposal to ation requirements rechange it since Adams 12: 23 credits Denver: 24 credits main among the highest they’ve been on Boulder Valley: 22 credits Jefferson County: 23 in the metro area. the board the last Cherry Creek: 22 credits Lewis-Palmer: 25 credits The decrease took four years.” effect with the 2012-13 Benevento academic year, at the said Hodges is same time as the contrying to mislead troversial block schedule. the public.

Neither of the incumbent candidates — “He said this board did it, and in fact it Meghann Silverthorn and Doug Benevento happened when he was in senior leader— were on the board when it voted to lower ship of the school district,” he said. “If he’s graduation requirements. so concerned about this, why in fact can he Challenger candidates cite the change not enunciate any steps he took (to object as an area of concern. to the reduction)”?

Benevento said increased graduation rates, ninth- and 10th-grade state test scores, and record numbers of high school students in Advanced Placement classes show the students are doing well.

Hodges said the increase in graduation rates is no surprise given the reduction in required credits, adding, “It’s more than just cutting grad requirements, it’s cutting this whole schedule.”

The change to the block schedule cut about 10 hours of instruction time from each class. That adds up to 240 hours — the equivalent of six work weeks — throughout students’ high school years.

Outgoing board president John Carson said he’s never before heard objection to the reduction in credits.

“What I find particularly interesting is in the four years since they were lowered, the issue has never come up — until it became a political issue in this campaign,” he said.

“If people in the community want to start a movement to raise them back up, the board of education would look at that.”

news in a hurry Creative district panel seeks logo entries

A $500 prize is at stake to the artist who can come up with the best logo for Parker’s emerging creative district. The recently designated Parker Creative District is accepting entries for a logo design that reflect the vibrancy of the Creative District Steering Committee’s vision statement.

Entries will be on display at the PACE Center from Dec. 7 to Jan. 3 to give the community an opportunity to vote for their favorites. Entries must be original artwork and include the phrase “Parker’s Creative District at Old Town.”

Judges require one hard copy and one digital copy in PDF or JPEG for each submission. They must be no larger than 8½ by 11 inches and no smaller the 4 by 5 inches. Submissions are due by midnight Dec. 5. The winning design will be owned by Parker’s Creative District at Old Town. Electronic copies should be sent to smahnken@parkeronline.org. Hard copies can be dropped off at the PACE Center box office. The winner will be notified by Dec. 31.

expenditures would increase by 38 percent in 2014.

Just under $12.5 million will be spent on police services, while $4.6 million will cover debt expenses. Parker will match funds for a planned $500,000 rehabilitation project on the Mainstreet Center. A transfer of $800,000 from the general fund — about $150,000 more than anticipated — would cover the cost of PACE Center operations.

Warn said it generally takes four to five years of operation to determine necessary spending.

The connection of Todd Drive between Jordan Road and Motsenbocker Road would cost $1.3 million, and the extension of Pikes Peak Court would cost around $750,000.

The price tag on the Hess Road bridge over Cherry Creek is close to $5 million.

That money will be pulled from the public improvement fund and general fund, as well as a use tax and road tax shareback program with the county.

By the end of 2013, Parker will spend

Sightings of moose in populated areas of Douglas County are extremely rare, although a bull moose was sighted near Castle Rock the weekend of Oct. 26. A cow and calf were also reported near Castle Rock within the last month, Olson said. There have been recent reports of a young bull moose wandering Elbert County.

ship program for high school girls at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Castle Rock. Baker was one of six high school senior girls from Colorado who competed to represent the state as the Distinguished Young Woman of Colorado for 2014.

Participants were evaluated in the categories of scholastics, interview, fitness, self-expression and talent.

“I was impressed with Bailey throughout our program, from impromptu leadership guiding the girls through one of the routines to hearing her explain the government shutdown to other contestants while prepping for interviews,” said chairwoman Jana Arkell.

Throughout the next year, Baker will represent the state at various public events and serve as a role model to young people by spreading the program’s national outreach message of “Be Your Best Self.”

Baker, a senior at Legend High School, is the daughter of Bob and Paige Baker.

Churchill said there could be more than one moose in the area. The species was reintroduced in the North Park area in the 1970s, and they’re branching out as the population thrives.

“We see this in young male animals.

Once they get kicked out of the family group, they search for new habitat, but they won’t stay where there aren’t any females,” Churchill said.

Olson said he hoped the moose would find his way south along the Cherry Creek corridor or through the Rueter-Hess Reservoir property on the western edge of Parker.

Olson, Churchill and Coleman all said they believe this to be the first report of a moose in the Parker area.

“We’ve had coyotes, mountain lions, and bears as recently as last year, but never a moose,” Coleman said.

Teen set to become Eagle Scout

Nicholas Jackson, 17, of Boy Scout Troop 88 in Parker, will be awarded the Eagle Scout rank at 9 a.m. Nov. 30. To attain scouting’s highest award, Jackson had to earn 21 merit badges, serve as a leader in his troop and complete a major community service project. For his community service project, Jackson organized an overhaul of the large tree, plant and shrub bed at the entrance to the Living Wheel Park next to the Parker Library. The Living Wheel Park is a memorial in Parker honoring all the branches of the armed forces. The project was completed over two weekends in July with the help from many scouts, friends and family.

Jackson began his scouting career in July 2010 when he joined Troop 88. He has served as a patrol leader at camp and currently serves as a troop guide within his troop, mentoring all the new scouts.

He has been a counselor in training at Peaceful Valley Scout Camp and is also a member of the Order of the Arrow.

Jackson, the son of Town Councilmember Scott Jackson and his wife, Lenae Jackson, is a senior at Chaparral High School with a 3.5 GPA. After high school, he plans to attend the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs and major in computers and engineering.

A Douglas County School Board candidate is accusing the district of violating the state’s Fair Campaign Practices Act, an allegation the board’s vice president said is frivolous and unfounded.

Julie Keim’s Oct. 17 complaint alleges the Douglas County School District used district resources to support its preferred candidates. In addition to the complaint, she also submitted to the Colorado Secretary of State documentation that she says supports her claims.

Keim is among four candidates who believe major change is needed in the district.

She is running against Judi Reynolds, who supports the current school board.

“This is a patently frivolous political stunt masquerading as a complaint,” school board vice president Kevin Larsen said.

Keim alleges the school district is not providing all candidates with the same information, and says district resources are helping supporters of pro-board candidates — Reynolds, Jim Geddes and incumbents Doug Benvento and Meghann Silverthorn — with campaign materials and advertisements.

In early October, Keim requested copies of emails exchanged between the district’s cabinet-level staff, school board members, Douglas County Educational Foundation board members and the alleged supporters — including Americans for Prosperity, the Independence Institute and campaign contributors Alex Cranberg and Ralph Na-

gel, among others.

DCSD legal counsel Rob Ross emailed Keim on Oct. 14 that a search found more than 13,000 emails, including the approximately 46 individuals and organizations she listed.

“The enormous volume of emails between DCSD cabinet-level personnel and political groups that are supporting the current school board race is evidence of a violation of the (Fair Campaign Practices Act),” she wrote in her complaint.

Ross wrote that the number “does not represent `political’ communications between the individuals or groups named,” only matches to Keim’s search parameters.

Keim so far has received 101 of the 13,000 emails.

“I think they’re trying to delay so nothing can be exposed before the election,” Keim said.

Larsen said staff’s response has been timely, and that Keim is abusing district resources.

“Ms. Keim expects district staff to spend their days as her personal research team rather than having them focus on the business of educating our more than 65,000 students,” he wrote. “This is inexcusably aggressive behavior by a candidate attacking the personnel of the district, and parent and community volunteers. If this candidate has an issue with the great direction Douglas County School District is headed, she can attack me and the rest of the board.”

Ross said time is needed for district employees to review each email and ensure it doesn’t include legally protected information. He estimated it would require a minimum of 54 hours and a total cost to Keim $1,060. Keim said she plans to pay the bill with personal, non-campaign funds.

Top law firms tackle campaign complaints Attorneys represent school district, fundraising arm

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Two high-powered law firms are representing the Douglas County School District and its fundraising arm in separate allegations of improper campaign-related activity in the contentious school-board race.

The Douglas County Educational Foundation has retained Holland and Hart to represent it in parent Susan Arnold’s complaint filed Oct. 14 with the Internal Revenue Service. The complaint alleges political campaigning and deceptive and improper fundraising practices by the foundation, the district’s nonprofit fundraising arm.

An attorney with Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck indicated Oct. 25 that he will represent DCSD in school board candidate Julie Keim’s recent complaint of alleged campaign and political finance violations.

“The fact that they’ve lawyered up on both sides is interesting,” said Keim, one of four candidates challenging the direction of the current school board. “They’re using district resources to defend themselves against a complaint that they’re using district resources. It’s a little vicious cycle, isn’t it?”

School board vice president Kevin Larsen said the decision to hire outside legal counsel is logical.

“Any time a legal complaint is filed against the school district we will employ reasonable measures to protect ourselves,” he said. “(Keim’s) meritless claims will ultimately have little to show other than the loss of district time and resources.”

Holland and Hart, whose 440 attorneys in 15 Rocky Mountain-area offices specialize in business and corporate law, is helping defend the foundation against “vicious attacks,” according to Cinamon Watson, DCEF interim executive director and the district’s community relations officer.

District spokespeople did not respond

to questions from Colorado Community Media about when the firms had been hired and their rate of compensation.

Holland and Hart “has reviewed compliance and given DCEF a clean bill of health,” Watson wrote in an email.

“Individuals involved in the board of education elections have attacked everything from outstanding achievement results to raising dollars for the annual school supply drive,” Watson wrote. “After filing a frivolous IRS complaint against the Douglas County Educational Foundation, they are now complaining about the fact that we have an attorney to defend ourselves from these vicious attacks.

“These attacks have cost the foundation time and money and taken away from the great work DCEF does for our schools, students, and teachers.”

Arnold, parent Stefania Scott and former DCEF chairman Bob Kaser’s concerns about the foundation are multi-pronged, but center around the Douglas County School District’s late September acknowledgment that it used DCEF donations to pay consultants. Those consultants — including former U.S. Secretary of Education Bill Bennett and the American Enterprise Institute’s Rick Hess — indicated support for the district’s education reforms through published papers and a public appearance in September.

Kaser said the foundation’s failure to turn over meeting minutes and other information underscores those concerns.

“The only reason there are perceptions, or misperceptions, about the activities of the DCEF is due to the lack of transparency,” he said. “I challenge them to replace these with the facts and full disclosure.”

Keim’s Oct. 17 complaint alleges the school district is not providing all candidates with the same information, and that its resources are helping a host of individuals and organizations actively support proboard candidates — Judi Reynolds, Jim Geddes and incumbents Doug Benevento and Meghann Silverthorn — with campaign materials and advertisements.

Chemical weapons await destruction in state Pueblo facility far behind initial schedule

By Kristin Jones

I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS On the high plains of Pueblo’s eastern edge, fields of concrete bunkers arrayed like a vast cemetery hold most of the remaining stockpile of the nation’s chemical weapons. The earth-covered “igloos” with their reinforced concrete headwalls contain 2,611 tons of mustard agent in mortar rounds and artillery shells.

Slated for destruction since at least 1985, the munitions are old, leaky and expensive to protect.

The process of dismantling them is 29 years behind schedule and $33.8 billion over budget, according to Defense Department documents and historians.

Half a world away, the Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons is seeking to take apart Syria’s estimated 1,000-ton stash of poison agent in just eight months.

The group was recently awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for its work, which proceeds amid a raging civil war.

The depot here in Pueblo shows how difficult the job can be, even absent the chaos of war. Stymied by technical barriers, concerned neighbors and increasingly complex environmental regulations, the U.S. effort to get rid of its own weapons of mass destruction has consistently fallen short of projections.

Ronald Reagan was president when Congress first directed the Army to eliminate its stockpile of 31,500 tons of mustard agent, sarin and VX developed by the U.S. military for use in war. At that time, the Army thought the job would be done by 1994 and cost $1.7 billion, according to the Henry L. Stimson Center, a Washington, D.C.-based research institute.

By the time of the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention — an international treaty

under which the U.S. and other nations agreed to destroy their stockpiles — estimates had shifted. But the U.S. still expected to destroy its arsenal by a 2007 deadline.

The convention held out the possibility of a five-year extension. That deadline slipped by last year.

In the latest Defense Department projection, the remaining 10 percent of the stockpile won’t be destroyed until 2023, at a total cost of $35.5 billion.

Assumptions `off base’

The initial estimates were “optimistic,” says Greg Mahall, a spokesman for the Army department responsible for destroying most of the stockpile to date. “As we got more and more into the reality of it, we found that some of the assumptions were off base.”

Among these assumptions were that the toxic agents would remain inert as they were dismantled.

“Some of the mustard projectiles champagned when we opened them — spit out and went like a champagne bottle,” says Mahall. Walls and equipment in the destruction plants were contaminated with the toxic blister agent, creating more cleanup work.

At the same time, environmental groups and neighbors of storage sites like Pueblo Chemical Depot presented hurdles to the Army’s plan to incinerate the material.

Ross Vincent, a retired chemical engineer, moved to Pueblo with his wife in 1988 thinking that they had arrived in an “environmental nirvana.”

When the couple found out at a chamber of commerce meeting that the Army was planning to burn chemical weapons nearby, says Vincent, “My wife and I looked at each other and went, `Uhhh.’”

Now 71 and the chair of the local chapter of the Sierra Club, Vincent says he has spent the last quarter-century pushing the Pentagon to seek faster, safer, and more efficient ways to destroy the toxic weapons.

“When I got into this, I didn’t know it was going to be a lifestyle choice,” he says.

In 1996, in response to public pressure, Congress directed the Army to seek alternatives to incineration. The result of that effort is a plan to use processes of neutralization — diluting the chemicals with water before treating them — to eliminate the stockpile in Pueblo by 2019. A similar plan is in place for the 523 tons of chemical material, including weaponized sarin, held at Kentucky’s Blue Grass Army Depot, by 2023.

Plant being tested

In Pueblo, a destruction plant has been built, and is undergoing a rigorous process of systemization — that is, testing the equipment and training the staff — before its proposed launch in 2015.

Even with the technological advances of recent decades, however, the process of neutralizing toxic agents can be especially complicated when they have been built into projectiles and mortars.

“Every once in a while the munitions leak,” explains Charles Sprague, spokesman for the Pueblo Chemical Depot. “We usually find the leaking munitions after a good low-pressure storm comes through.”

Sensors detect the leaks inside the igloos, and chemical operations crews are sent in with protective equipment to find the culprit, Sprague says. The problem munitions are then packed into other material and put into a separate igloo.

These overpacked and leaky munitions can’t be neutralized in the prescribed way, so the current plan is to explode them in mobile detonation chambers.

For decades before American environmental regulations came into play in the early 1970s, some weapons were simply buried. A 1996 Army report identified 96 possible chemical weapons burial spots in 38 states. The likely burial sites included Rocky Mountain Arsenal, an area east of Commerce City that once housed facilities for the manufacture of nerve and blister

agent. The 27-square-mile area is now undergoing cleanup as a Superfund site, and has been named a wildlife refuge.

Or the munitions were simply tossed into the ocean. The acronym for this method, says Army spokesman Mahall, was CHASE — Cut Holes and Sink ‘Em.

Sarin in Syria

A sarin attack that killed hundreds of people in the suburbs of Damascus, Syria, on Aug. 21 brought a fresh reminder of the horrors these weapons can bring. Faced with the haunting images of the victims of this attack, few would suggest it’s not worth destroying Syria’s stockpile of poison agent.

The differences between the two countries’ chemical weapons stockpiles are stark, says Defense Department spokeswoman Jennifer Elzea. The U.S. stockpile was much older, and largely weaponized — put into munitions.

“It’s not a very good comparison,” Elzea says. “It was done very slowly and deliberately in the U.S.” Back in Pueblo, Vincent wonders how an arsenal like Syria’s could be destroyed safely in less than a year. He says he’s satisfied that the current proposal for destroying the remaining stockpile in Colorado has come a long way toward eliminating risks and pollutants, though he adds, “None of us is very pleased with the idea of blowing up chemical weapons in the neighborhood.”

Many of Vincent’s neighbors, meanwhile, have grown tired of the debates over the chemical weapons stockpile next door, says Irene Kornelly, who chairs the Colorado Citizens Advisory Commission, a watchdog group for the Pueblo Chemical Depot.

“There are also a lot of people who don’t care one way or another,” says Kornelly. “At this point, it’s like, just get it done.”

Pilot injured in crash of small plane

Aircraft comes down in Castle Rock neighborhood

By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews. com A woman with non-life-threatening injuries crawled out of her plane and then toward a nearby house in Castle Rock the night of Oct. 28 after her single-engine plane crashed, said Castle Rock Fire Chief Art Morales.

Morales said the pilot had planned to land at Front Range Airport in Adams County, but because of icing problems radioed to Centennial Airport and was on her way to land there when she hit power lines.

The single-engine plane fell between the lines, dropping about

150 feet into a gully — which was about 100 feet from the nearest home in the in the 1600 block of Aquamarine Court in the Sapphire Pointe subdivision.

Morales said police and fire personnel were able to find the plane and pilot quickly and transported her to a nearby trauma center within 45 minutes of the crash.

Authorities received the first call at 7:01 p.m. Residents in the area were reporting seeing a flash of light, said Karen McGrath, Castle Rock spokeswoman.

The resident of the nearest home went outside after seeing a flash of light, went back to get her coat, got a flashlight and was able to see the plane, McGrath said.

No injuries on the ground were reported.

McGrath said the cause of the crash is under investigation.

A single-engine plane, shown the morning of Oct. 29, was being piloted by a woman flying solo when it hit power lines on the night of Oct. 28 and crashed in a Castle Rock neighborhood. The plane came to rest in a gully just west of Crowfoot Valley Road and south of Sapphire Pointe Road, near homes in the Sapphire Pointe subdivision. Photo by Ryan Boldrey

County distributes funds to support arts SCFD money goes to broad range of groups

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Douglas County commissioners distributed $567,190 worth of SCFD grant funds to 48 area nonprofit organizations that support arts and culture throughout the county.

Following approval by the commissioners, the 2013-14 Tier III Douglas County Scientific and Cultural Facilities District funds were presented Oct. 22 to 13 countybased organizations, as well as 35 others from within the district that have a direct impact on citizens of Douglas County.

“These funds support cultural facilities whose primary purpose is to enlight-

en and entertain the public through the production, presentation, exhibition, advancement and preservation of art, music, theater, dance, zoology, botany, natural history, and cultural history,” said Dan Dertz, supervisor of public outreach for Douglas County. “All grants awarded will directly benefit the citizens of Douglas County.”

The funds are distributed through a three-tiered system by participating jurisdictions in seven metro counties: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas (with the exception of Castle Rock and Larkspur) and Jefferson.

Distribution of total funds are collected from one-tenth of 1 percent of retail sales and use tax in those areas and then 13.5 percent of the collected money is distributed to scientific and cultural organizations which meet the necessary requirements.

This year 253 select organizations

throughout the metro area received a total of $6.3 million in funding. Between 1989 and 2012, SCFD distributed more than $756 million to more than 500 organizations, Dertz said.

“You don’t have to go back very many years, and think about where we were regarding the facilities (and) programs,” said Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella, praising the program and thanking all involved with it.

“We have made a ginormous leap in bringing more cultural and scientific programs into the county.”

There will be a half-hour social followed by an informative session on the role of the SCFD from 4:30-6 p.m. at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave. in Parker.

Gessler jumps into school-board fray

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com In what one political analyst called a tactic to garner support for his gubernatorial race, Scott Gessler, Colorado’s Republican Secretary of State, announced Oct. 29 that he temporarily will focus on Douglas County’s school board elections.

In an email entitled, “The Cavalry is Coming!”, Gessler wrote: “Against the advice of the Denver political elites, I’ve ordered my campaign for governor to shift focus for the next week until the Douglas County elections, to ensure that conservatives are victorious this year.”

Gessler asked for support from other conservatives to knock on doors, and said he also would have some paid opportunities.

As Secretary of State, Gessler is charged with overseeing and administering Colorado’s election code, voter registration and campaign finance laws.

Gessler’s political director did not respond directly when asked if the Secretary of State’s involvement in the board election was appropriate, given the office’s stated mission to “ensure the integrity of elections.”

Gessler “is not afraid to lead when the future of education in Colorado is at stake,” Rory McShane responded through an email, adding that election integrity is Gessler’s top priority.

Denver political analyst Katy Atkinson said such political involvement in a nonpartisan race isn’t unusual.

The secretary of state “oftentimes gets involved and takes positions, helps other candidates, even though they have responsibility for overseeing elections. That’s a longtime practice from both parties.”

Colorado State University political science professor John Straayer agreed.

“On the other hand, I think essentially

using the county party apparatus brought it to a brand new level; I’m not sure to a productive level at all,” he said. “And if Gessler is using his campaign apparatus to get involved, that’s just doubling down and trying to convert a nonpartisan system into a purely partisan and party-driven operation.”

The Douglas County Republicans endorsed school board candidates in 2009, 2011 and this year. Local party chairman Craig Steiner said the school board methodology is part of a larger, national-scale strategy to gain seats at all levels of government.

Atkinson sees Gessler’s involvement as similarly political.

“My sense is he’s doing it to appeal to Republicans in Douglas County for his primary race for governor, and not necessarily because he’s going to make a huge difference in the school board election,” she said.

Gessler’s appearance comes late in the election. Ballots were mailed to Douglas County residents in mid-October, and the Nov. 5 election day is a week away.

“Most of the people who are going to vote have voted,” Atkinson said. “It’s not the big deal he’d like it to be.”

McShane said the “political elites” who advised Gessler against focusing his campaign on the school board elections are establishment Republicans.

“Establishment Republicans aren’t used to someone like Scott who will fearlessly fight for what they believe in,” McShane wrote.

The Douglas County GOP-endorsed candidates are Doug Benevento, Jim Geddes, Judi Reynolds and Meghann Silverthorn.

Challenger candidates who want to see major change on the board are Barbra Chase, Bill Hodges, Julie Keim and Ronda Scholting.

Centennial Airport activates noise monitors Facility on track to register 3,500 complaints in 2013

By George Lurie

glurie@ourcoloradonews.com The country’s second-busiest general aviation airport wants to be a good neighbor.

So in an effort to help minimize the impact of noise from the more than 850 aircraft that take off and land at Centennial Airport every day, the Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority now employs a full-time “noise specialist” — and just finished installing 12 noise monitors in a wide area around the airport’s perimeter.

The 22-foot-tall monitors, six located in Arapahoe County and six in Douglas County, were purchased with a $1.5 million grant from the FAA. According to Scott Drexler, Centennial Airport’s noise and planning specialist, the monitors will all be fully operational by the end of October.

Airport officials also plan to utilize two additional mobile monitors that can be moved around in response to future noise complaints. “Just because your house isn’t right next to a monitor, it doesn’t mean that our system won’t be able to track the noise levels in your neighborhood,” said Drexler, who has worked at the airport for two years and been in his current job as noise specialist for five months.

“Noise is very subjective,” he said.

“Working here, you get used to it. It doesn’t bother me at all. And I actually live just a mile and a half from the airport.”

But when the Centennial Airport Community Noise Roundtable was created in May 2009, aircraft engine noise had become a big concern for many living and working near the airport, which does not handle commercial airline traffic but still ranks as the nation’s 28th busiest airport in overall operations.

Drexler coordinates the noise roundtable meetings, which take place once a month at the Ramada Hotel adjacent to the airport.

Roundtable participants include local elected officials, appointed representatives from the community, airport staff, the Federal Aviation Administration, Colorado Department of Transportation (Aeronautics Division) and airport users. Centennial City Councilman Keith Gardner represents the city at roundtable meetings.

The Airport Authority contributed

$75,000 to the noise monitor project, and Drexler estimates it will cost about $100,000 a year to operate program.

“The monitors all have weather stations that record wind speed and wind direction too,” Drexler said. Using radar data airport officials get from the FAA, information from the monitors will allow Drexler to correlate a “sound event” with a radar track of a specific aircraft.

“That means monitors won’t mistake noise from passing vehicles for aircraft noise,” he said.

Six of the monitors are powered by solar panels, six by electricity.

In Centennial, there’s a monitor at Hunter’s Hill. Several are set up on airport property; one is located in Cherry Creek State Park; others are in Lone Tree, Castle Rock, Parker and Aurora.

Airport officials are already receiving information from the monitors and plan to make the data available online beginning sometime in early January.

Surrounded by 23 business parks, thousands of homes and located a scant 13 miles from downtown Denver, the airport’s motto is: “Global reach, local access.”

When it opened on May 13, 1967, on 1,400 acres in unincorporated Arapahoe County, the facility was called the Arapahoe County Airport. It was renamed Centennial Airport in 1984.

Today, its three runways, ranging in length from 4,800 feet to 10,000 feet, accommodate private and charter air traffic.

According to a study released in October by the Colorado Division of Aeronautics, the airport contributes — directly and indirectly — an estimated $1.3 billion annually to the local economy.

The airport’s busiest year was 1998, when more than 466,000 takeoffs and landings were logged. In 2012, Centennial registered 308,173 operations.

“Summer is the busiest time of the year,” said Drexler. “More people are out flying.

There’s more training aircraft operating.”

In 2012, the airport logged about 2,000 noise complaints. “This year, we are close to 3,000 (complaints) already and are probably on track for 3,500,” Drexler said.

Because aircraft have to both land and take off into the wind, bad weather tends to spur more noise complaints. “Bad weather impacts our runways operations,” Drexler said. “Instead of taking off to the south, when weather rolls in, aircraft usually have to take off to the north, where there’s a denser population in cities like Centennial and Greenwood Village.”

Most noise complaints come in via the airport’s website. There’s also a “noise line” — 303-790-4709 — and Drexler said people often contact him directly with complaints.

“Before the monitors went in, complaints were our only basis in determining noise issues,” said Drexler. “The monitors will help us identify more clearly noise impacts and help us understand if our voluntary noise abatement guidelines are working — and where we need to make adjustments.”

Drexler said the largest aircraft currently flying into the airport is an Embraer Lineage 1000, a two-engine luxury jet that can carry up to 30 passengers.

In the past, most noise complaints were

generated by “the older jets,” Drexler said.

“Now they tend to center around helicopters and older prop planes. The newer jets are much quieter.”

Aircraft noise, he explained, often depends “on an individual aircraft’s configurations and settings. But there are some locations, like right off the end of the runway, where there is very little we can do” about noise.

Drexler said airport officials often talk to pilots about “voluntary noise guidelines” and “where the noise-sensitive areas are located. The pilot community has always been very responsive,” he said. “They want to be good neighbors and definitely don’t want to see the airport go away.”

For Daniel Ritchie, it’s girl’s night out

Flying DISCS, flying DOGS

Champions converge on Clement Park

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Dozens of doggies from around the country converged on Clement Park over the Oct. 26-27 weekend for the Final UFO Major, hosted for the first time by Colorado Disc Dogs.

They competed in levels from simple toss and catch all the way up to freestyle, where the pooches and their people perform choreographed routines, showing off their signature moves.

In honor of Halloween, there was even a doggie costume contest and trick-or-treating among sponsoring vendors.

Colorado Disc Dogs was founded in 1994 and welcomes new members, even hosting a training event every spring.

“It is one of the biggest and most successful disc dog clubs in the world,” according to the UFO website. “Teams from the club are always in the top of the standings at every event they participate in, judges from the club are highly sought for their experience and skills, and club events are heavily attended all year long.”

For a suit-and-tie CEO of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Daniel Ritchie makes a handsome woman.

And he proved just how fetching he can be in a blingy ball gown during “Theatre Threads,” a costume department fashion show featuring models from the DCPA’s financial and emotional support group.

As an unadvertised final entry in the fashion show, Ritchie shuffled to the microphone where 9News entertainment editor Kirk Montgomery was lending emcee duties. Much to the delight of the lunching crowd, Ritchie sported a Texas-sized blond wig, full makeup, false eyelashes, figurehugging bedazzled gown, feather stole, full-length black gloves and black patent open-toe heels.

In a twisted way, he looked hot!

Ritchie was promoting “The Legend of Georgia McBride,” which plays in the Ricketson Theatre from Jan. 10 to Feb. 23.

“We didn’t have costumes yet so we hired a professional drag queen, and he worked with Dan on the outfit,” said Alexandra Griesmer, public relations and promotions manager for the Denver Center Theatre Company. “(Ritchie) was such a great sport — didn’t take much convincing!”

Ritchie said his gender-bender experience lent him more empathy toward females.

“I learned that high heels are risky,” Ritchie said while Montgomery, dressed as one of the Three Musketeers, doubled over in laughter. “I was surprised to learn what you do every day. My respect is even higher (for women).”

The play is about a straight young man who unexpectedly takes a dip into the world of drag, Ritchie said. “I didn’t know much about being a woman, so I thought I should learn firsthand.”

Denver Center Alliance’s Theatre Threads is a tribute to the talent and passion of the models and backstage stars, Denver Center Theatre Company’s costume department. Proceeds support the Arts in Education program, which allows more than 50,000 students the opportunity to experience live theater this academic year.

The incredible shrinking anchor Jeff Hill and his dog Enzo were in the Halloween spirit as they practiced Oct. 25 at Clement Park for the Colorado Disc Dog championships. The pair traveled all the way from their home in California to compete.

Have you seen 9News entertainment anchor Kirk Montgomery lately? Rather, have you seen what’s left of him? His cheeks are no longer “cherubbed,” and his torso is oh so trim.

I caught his act last week, and couldn’t help asking Montgomery the secret to his slimmed-down success.

“I downloaded a free app (My Plate from www.livestrong.com) and I’ve been counting calories,” he told me. “I input the good the bad and the ugly — and just getting into the habit of doing that was an eye-opener. I’ve tried to stay around 1,500 (calories consumed) a day. Some days are lower, some higher, but I’ve lost weight before — the goal this time is to keep it off.”

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) The high standards you set for yourself don’t always translate into the behavior you expect of others. That relationship problem can be resolved if you’re more flexible and less judgmental.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Not enough party bids to satisfy the Bovine’s fun-loving side this week? Go ahead and throw one of your own. Then prepare for some serious work coming up early next week.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A new and intensely productive cycle is about to kick in. Be careful not to get too stressed out, though. Make time to restore your energies by relaxing with family and friends.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) This could be a good time to share some of your plans with those closest to you. Their comments could give you some added insight into how you might accomplish your goals.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) An attack of self-doubt might be unsettling for the usually super-assured Feline. But it could be your inner voice telling you to hold off implementing your plans until you’ve reassessed them.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) This is a great time for you to reward yourself for all your hard work by taking a trip you haven’t spent months carefully planning, to somewhere you never thought you’d be going.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Some misunderstandings resist being resolved. But your sincerity in wanting to soothe those hurt feelings wins the day. By month’s end, that relationship should begin to show signs of healing.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A hectic job schedule begins to ease just in time to blow off all that workgenerated steam on Halloween. A family situation runs into an unexpected complication.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A cutting remark in the workplace needs to be handled with finesse. Remember: How you respond could determine the depth of support you gain from colleagues.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Once again, that Capricornean stubborn streak sets in and could keep you from getting much-needed advice. Fortunately, it lifts by week’s end, in time to make an informed decision.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A surprise trip early in the week could lead to other unexpected offers when you return. Word to the wise: Avoid talking too much about this until you’ve made some decisions.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Learning dominates the week for perspicacious Pisceans, who are always looking to widen their range of knowledge. A series of important job-linked commitments begins late in the week.

‘This is Colorado’ returns to ACC Show features wide range of paintings

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Eighty paintings by Colorado’s fine artists fill the Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College, in the annual “This is Colorado” exhibit, sponsored for many years by the local Heritage Fine Arts Guild of Arapahoe County. It has appeared at numerous venues previously, but not in this handsome gallery, a natural location for it.

The show, which runs through Nov. 15, was juried by artist Phyllis Vandehaar, former chair of the art department at Arapahoe High School and popular local teacher at Roxborough State Park and elsewhere.

“If art isn’t challenging, enlightening and enjoyable, something is wrong,” she said.

She gave a written comment to each artist whose work was accepted in the show.

Paintings in the show vary from traditional oils to abstract acrylics to several mixed media fabric collages, which verge on sculptural — although the show features only two-dimensional works.

Veteran painter/teacher Robert Gray of Highlands Ranch won the Best of Show award for his large romantic watercolor, “Rainbow Sky,” which depicts a mountain lake at a magic moment when a rainbow fills the sky and is reflected in the water.

Located just inside the gallery entrance to the right, it shows great skill with a difficult medium in the careful interplay of color and light and dark.

Gray once maintained a studio in downtown Littleton (on Alamo) and has been teaching at Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts in Palmer Lake recently, as well as HFAG and other workshops.

First place was awarded to Lee Wasilik of Littleton, also an experienced painter, for his “Rocky Mountain Sunday,” a cozy scene of congregants gathered in front of

“Women—All That Jazz” by MK, Marykay Jacobus of Centennial, won second place in the “This is Colorado” show at ACC. Courtesy photo by Dustin Ellingboe a white traditional wooden church. The painterly technique in this acrylic work stands out.

MK, Marykay Moore Jacobus’ jovial “Women — All That Jazz” won second place. Jacobus, current HFAG president, has worked tirelessly to keep this significant statewide exhibit going for a number of years, aided, of course by numerous guild members. She deserves community

recognition.

Third place winner was Diane Edwards’ cheerful “Poppies on the Front Range,” a drift of red poppies, with mountains in the distance.

The ACC Gallery Director Award, selected by Trish Sangelo, went to Janet Ford for “In the Colorado Moment.” Merit awards were given to Linda Metcalf for her abstract “All That Jazz”; to longtime mem-

ber Orrel Schooler for “Ancient Homes”; to Kristine Orr for “Outer Reaches”; to Nancy Raskin for a pastel, “The Forest.”

Gallery hours: Mondays through Fridays noon to 8, according to the student who was staffing it.

Legend makes football playoffs

Titans lose to Castle View but still advance to tournament

By Jim Benton

jbenton @ourcoloradonews.com It was hard to tell which team was priming for the state playoffs in the Oct. 25 Pioneer League game between Castle View and Legend.

As it turned out, both teams made the Class 5A playoff field, but it took Castle View’s 42-20 victory over Legend for the Sabercats to claim a spot on the postseason bracket.

Castle View was 34th in the wild-card standings used to determine the 32 playoff teams and needed a win to have a chance to move up.

The Sabercats (4-5) climbed to 28th after the upset and will challenge No. 5 seed ThunderRidge (8-1) in a first round matchup Nov. 1 at Shea Stadium.

Class 5A: Teams ready for posteason Valor Christian looks for fifth consecutive state championship Staff report Watching Valor Christian’s football team march through the state playoffs has become an annual event.

The Eagles have won four consecutive state titles, including their first in Class 5A last season. Valor, the state’s top-ranked team but second in the wild-card standings used to determine the 32-team Class 5A playoff field, is the No. 2 seed behind unbeaten Fairview.

The Eagles (8-1) will start their quest for more hardware Nov. 1, hosting a 7 p.m. first-round game against No. 31 Eaglecrest.

Valor, an independent team with no league affiliation, opened the season by splitting two games against formable out-of-state opponents. In the past seven games against Colorado opposition, the Eagles have outscored the opposition 34736.

Other area teams advancing to the Class 5A playoffs include No. 3 Cherry Creek, No. 5 ThunderRidge, No. 16 Douglas County, No. 17 Legend, No. 18 Arapahoe, No. 22 Heritage and No. 32 Mountain Vista.

All the following first-round games will be played Nov. 1.: Cherry Creek (8-1) will entertain No. 30 Lakewood (3-6) at 7 p.m. No. 28 Castle View (4-5) goes to Shea Stadium for a 7 p.m. contest against ThunderRidge (8-1). Arapahoe (6-3) plays at Ralston Valley (6-3) at 4 p.m.

No. 17 Legend (6-3) plays No. 16 Douglas County (6-3) at Douglas County Stadium at 7 p.m. Heritage (5-4), the No. 22 seed, will be at No. 11 Mountain Range (81) at 7 p.m. No. 32 Mountain Vista (3-6) has the task of playing top-seeded Fairview (80) at Boulder’s Recht Field at 7 p.m.

Mountain Vista wins another cross country title Boys repeat as Class 5A cross country champions

By Scott Stocker

Special to Colorado Community Media Mountain Vista knew the pressure would be on throughout the season after having won the Class 5A boys state cross country title a year ago. Yet it was that pressure that, more than anything, seemed to lift the Golden Eagles to their second title.

Senior Connor Weaver led the way for Mountain Vista with his third-place finish in the individual competition behind Denver East’s explosive Cerake Beberkidane, and he turned in a close effort behind runner-up Zachary Alhamra of Pine Creek.

Beberkidane was clocked in a course record 15 minutes, 48.2 seconds over the challenging mountainous course at the Norris-Penrose Event Center in Colorado Springs. Alhamra ran 16:29.0 with Weaver coming through with a 16:34.5.

That third-place finish helped key a second-straight state championship for Mountain Vista, coached by Jonathan Dalby. The Golden Eagles tallied 110 points and were followed by Fort Collins (179) and Arapahoe (203).

“Back-to-back is cool and it’s something I will remember all my life,” Weaver said. “I hoped for second individually, but I’m not disappointed in third. I’m thrilled with the results for myself and our team and thrilled we won. After losing four seniors from last year’s team there were some doubts. But we put in a lot of hard

Andrew Walton, a senior, finished 21st with a time of 17:13.8 for the next highest finish for Mountain Vista. Junior Tyler Matzke was 25th (17:16.8) and senior Blake Graff, 26th (17:16.9) to round out the scoring for the Golden Eagles.

“Overall this season we worked hard and we were able to focus,” said Walton, who would like to attend Brigham Young University as does Weaver. “We just wanted to do the right things every day and we felt confident. I wanted to do better individually and it was not one of my better races. At the end of the hill I thought I

might have more energy, but at the bottom I just didn’t seem to have a lot of energy left.

“It was always questionable that we would be able to repeat, but we knew we had the chance if we stayed focused,” Walton said. “It was a fine ending to a fine year for all of us. Now, it’s get ready for track in the spring.”

Dalby felt from the beginning his squad had a chance to repeat. But, he was cautious.

Arapahoe runner paces area girls Wolff finishes ninth at state cross country meet

By Scott Stocker

Special to Colorado Community Media Arapahoe’s Emily Wolff finished ninth in a time of 19:32.7 at the Class 5A state cross country meet Oct. 26 in Colorado Springs. She was confident coming in, but knew the competition was going to be strong.

“I love this course and it’s exciting being here,” Wolff said. “I felt confident on the first mile and on the hill and that’s where you have to concentrate. The first mile I was running in the top 10 and I was able to stay there.

You just can’t worry, you have to stay focused, and I think I was able to be accomplished here.”

Monarch won its third straight Class 5A state title. The Coyotes placed six runners among the top 27, scoring 49 points, to run away with the championship. In the process, Monarch placed three runners

in the top 10 with fifth-place Ashley Litoff leading the way with a time of 19 minutes, 9.2 seconds. Fort Collins, led by champion Lauren Gregory, finished second with 85 points followed

“We needed that game,” said Castle View coach Ryan Hollingshead of the 22-point triumph over Legend. “It worked out pretty good for us.”

Legend was playing for a share of the Pioneer League title, but the loss not only cost the Titans a co-championship but also the opportunity to host a first-round playoff game.

The top 16 teams in the wild-card standings host opening-round games.

Legend was 14th before the Castle View game but slipped to 17th after the loss.

Legend (6-3) will play No. 16 Douglas County (6-3) Nov. 1 at Douglas County Stadium.

Castle View was the better team in the tuneup contest against Legend, which was played at Douglas County Stadium.

“We knew we had to go out,” Dalby said. “Arapahoe, Heritage and Fort Collins all looked good coming into state, too. I felt the kids had the chance to win, but they knew they had a target on their backs. We’ve been unbeaten all season and this was a great way to close out.

“The boys just ran well on the whole,” Dalby said. “It was a great run for Connor, but also for all the boys.

The course is tough, but it turned out to be a special day for the kids. I was just excited for them. We’ll be heading to Arizona for the Nike Regional competition in Phoenix, Ariz., in a couple

No. 24 Heritage will be in the Region 1 pool at top-seeded Grandview.

No. 36 Dakota Ridge will also be the pool. No. 21 Castle View will be at No. 4 Regis Jesuit along with No. 33 Rangeview. No. 29 Legend and Nov. 17 Rocky Mountain will travel to No. 8 Doherty.

State gymnastics on tap

The Sabercats grabbed a 35-14 halftime lead and rushed for 304 yards that included 207 in the first quarter.

Legend turned the ball over four times and failed to convert on fourth down three times.

“We came out with an attitude that we were just going to be physical,” explained Hollingshead. “We’ve played them pretty physical every year and we had that confidence. We cut down on mistakes. For the previous two weeks we just shot ourselves in the foot.

“We always knew were we underachieving. In the back of kids’ heads when you are losing close games, they know they are still there and they are still hungry.”

Castle View was coming off setbacks to Fountain-Fort Carson and Heritage by a total of nine points.

The Sabercats scored 28 unanswered points to break a 7-7 tie and made sure they would not lose another close game.

“The last two games were close but

we lost them in the end,” said senior Kaleb Geiger. “Everyone was clicking on all cylinders.”

Geiger, a linebacker who started doubling as a fullback two weeks ago, rushed for 129 yards on eight carries and scored a touchdown. He also had a team-high six tackles, intercepted a pass and recovered a fumble.

“I just recently became a fullback,” said Geiger. “They give me the ball and I just run. My main position is a will backer.”

Senior Elias Jackson ran for 98 yards on 16 carries and scored three touchdowns.

“Those two kids were not our starting running backs two weeks ago,” pointed out Hollingshead. “Elias Jackson is coming off an injury and Kaleb Geiger is new to running back but he’s one of the toughest kids on the team.”

Legend quarterback Peyton Remy, the league passing yardage leader, completed 24 of 43 passes for 376 yards and three touchdowns. He also was intercepted twice.

Cherry Creek and Ponderosa qualified their teams for the Class 5A state girls gymnastics meet, held Nov. 1-2 at Thornton High School.

Creek finished second in the Region 1 meet Oct. 23 at Cherry Creek.

Ponderosa was fourth, but scored high enough to advance its team to state. Cherry Creek junior Sela Buted was an individual regional champion on the beam.

Elizabeth, the Class 4A defending state champion, won the Region 1 meet at Cherry Creek and headlines the teams advancing to state.

Senior Emily Reynolds was the regional all-around and beam champion while classmate Haily Breikss won the vault competition.

Geberkindane, who placed third last season in state, was really never in trouble. Alhamra, a junior, and Weaver ran close throughout the race. It was on the final stretch that Alhamra was able to prevail for second.

Paul Miller, Poudre, 16:54.6. ond,” Alhamra said. “Cerake is such a strong runner and it was going to be challenge from the start just to stay close to him. That last half-mile was tough against Connor. But I was able to pull it out.”

Cherry Creek’s Noah Westfall, a senior, finished ninth with a time of 16:50.1, the highest for the Bruins.

Ponderosa junior midfielder Lars Peterson was calm under the penalty kick pressure.

Penalty kicks are usually decisive, shooters are expected to score and that’s just what Peterson did in the Mustangs’ first-round Class 4A soccer playoff game against Kennedy Oct. 23 at Sports Authority Stadium.

Ponderosa was awarded the penalty kick with 16:54 remaining in regulation time because of a Kennedy foul in the penalty box.

Peterson converted the kick and the fifthseeded Mustangs escaped with a 1-0 victory over the No. 28 Commanders.

“It was pretty pressuring but I knew if I scored, we were going on,” related Peterson. “I was calm and just took my time.

“I tried to look to the right and I hit it to the left.

I tried to fake the keeper out a little. Yeah, I was expected to make it. It was a relief that I scored.”

Kennedy players were bothered that a penalty kick was given to the Mustangs.

“They dragged down

David Patterson,” said Ponderosa coach Jim Engels. “It was an easy call.

Lars Peterson is one of my calm guys. We’ve been practicing penalty kicks because you never know.

He’s pretty good at those.”

Peterson’s goal decided a close game between two evenly matched teams.

“That was a scary No. 28 team,” admitted Engels. “They gave us all we could handle. For a No. 5 against a 28 seed, you would think you could beat them pretty easy, but they were a pretty good team.”

Ponderosa (12-2-1) advanced to the second round, where the Mustangs faced No. 21 Summit (10-5-1) Oct. 29 at Sports Authority Stadium.

“We have the second round and that’s where we got upset last year,” said Engels, referring to a 2-1 loss last season to Denver South. “Hopefully we can play better than we did against Kennedy.”

In another Class 4A first-round playoff game Oct. 23, Paul Grizzle scored off an assist from Ian Thomas in Valor Christian’s 1-0 win over Vista Peak Prep. The Eagles’ keeper Connor Georgopulos notched his fifth shutout of the season Tenth-seeded Valor (11-5-0) traveled to Evergreen Oct. 29 for a second-round match against the Cougars (13-2-1).

Change for Lone Tree golf clubhouse in works New hospitality arm aims for improved operations

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com The Lone Tree Golf Club and Hotel is teeing up for some significant changes.

Course owner South Suburban Parks and Recreation District has added a hospitality department, and its main focus is Lone Tree’s public golf facility.

The change comes two years after several exasperated Lone Tree residents suggested the city secede from South Suburban, citing problems with the golf course and other district-managed city facilities.

Under the direction of hospitality director Jay Dikeman, the large, 1980s-era clubhouse around which the city developed has gotten a thorough scrubbing. New carpet is planned for its 15 hotel rooms, interviews are under way for a highly skilled chef, and construction starts next month on an outdoor wedding site.

“The setting is of course absolutely stunning,” Dikeman said, “and the space here is very wonderful. The demographic around the physical building, if we provide a good enough product, is certainly strong enough to support us. We just have to come up with a concept, and make it good enough for everybody to want to be here.”

Dikeman’s responsibilities and the hospitality department’s territory extends beyond Lone Tree to include South Suburban’s other restaurants, including The Club restaurant at Centennial’s South Suburban Golf Course, the Avalanche Grill at Centennial’s Family Sports Center and the Centennial Grill at the Littleton Golf and Tennis Club.

Castle Rock

Photo by Jane Reuter “The goal is to improve our operation, both in terms of service and revenue,” South Suburban executive director Dave Lorenz said. “All the restaurants are under one roof, so we have consistency. When you go to the South Suburban Golf Course restaurant or Avalanche Grill, you’ll get the same hamburger, French fries and service

vide,” he said of those negotiations. “So I recommended to the board we hire our own hospitality director.”

Dikeman’s hospitality industry experience began in 1976, including employment at well-reputed, full-service chains like the Hilton, Marriott and Radisson hotels.

In Lone Tree, he aims to capitalize on its already established wedding services with construction of an outdoor wedding venue, including a garden, pergola and small stage. Plans call for opening the area in 2014.

“We really want to make our product different from other products around,” he said. “The wedding garden will be beautiful and a differentiator from other golf courses and hotels in the community that will make (the clubhouse) even more popular for weddings.”

A sound barrier also is planned on the clubhouse’s main level to block noise from the ground-level Out of Bounds Grill. A permanent awning over the north deck, and a new lighting system in the banquet areas, also are planned.

The selection process for a new chef is nearly complete.

“One of the requirements is they have to be very high end,” Dikeman said. “They’ll be based here, but also will work with the other facilities.

“Right now, the demand for the grill area is low in the evenings. We’re absolutely going to cater to the golfers, but also focus on how to build that evening business.”

An extensive overhaul of the building is not in the near-term plans.

“For the foreseeable future, the building will stay the same,” Dikeman said. “But I know there’s been conversation about the facility needing, and the community wanting, a major renovation here.”
