Fans flock to Steak ’n Shakes Eateries had been closed due to dispute

By George Lurie

glurie@ourcoloradonews.com After being shuttered for months by a dispute between local franchisees and the company’s corporate headquarters, popular Steak ’n Shake restaurants in Centennial and Sheridan reopened this week, attracting large crowds with offers of free food and promises to donate 10 percent of first-week sales to area flood relief.

“We invest in the communities we serve, and are pleased to support the local Red Cross chapter by giving back to those affected by the recent flooding,” said Jim Flaniken, senior vice president of marketing for the Indianapolis-based company.

For Centennial residents Marc Behringer and Taylor Wilsey, the best news of all: The restaurant chain was offering the

first 100 customers to dine at the Centennial and Sheridan locations on Nov. 25 free Steak ’n Shake for a year.

On reopening day, Behringer and Wilsey were the first two people standing in a long line that snaked around the Centennial restaurant and across the adjacent parking lot.

The couple had claimed the pole position by showing up the previous evening at 11 p.m. and camping outside the front door in blustery, subfreezing temperatures.

“It was a little chilly,” Behringer admitted. “But we had fun. Now we’ll be able to eat free Steak ’n Shake for the next year.”

Wilsey agreed. “I got hooked on their food in Florida. I used to go to Steak ’n Shake every time I visited my grandmother there,” she said.

Steak ’n Shake corporate will manage and operate the Centennial and Sheridan locations.

Both restaurants will be open 24 hours Steak continues on Page 8

Food boxes prepared for Thanksgiving Inter-Faith helps needy families

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews. com Like a well-oiled machine in high gear, volunteers packed about 650 boxes in preparation for the Nov. 23 Thanksgiving food box distribution.

About 100 volunteers gathered at Inter-Faith’s headquarters at Floyd Avenue and Irving Street in Sheridan for the well-organized project to assemble the boxes.

Each food box was packed with the items needed to cook a traditional Thanksgiving meal, as well as other food items providing three or four days of meals for a family.

Many of the volunteers were from service clubs like the Denver South East Ro-

Ellis was among about 100 volunteers who helped assemble the Thanksgiving food boxes that Inter-Faith Community Services distributed on Nov. 23. tary, the Centennial Rotary and the Southglenn Sertoma Club. Companies like the First Commercial Bank in Englewood had volunteers at the event, as did a couple Girl Scout troops.

Chuck Brown, a Douglas County resident, waited to be assigned a job.

“I volunteered on my own because I wanted to help people have a nice Thanksgiving,” he said. “I had some

bad years and relied on others for help. Things are better now, so I want to give back by helping others.”

The volunteers were briefed and teams moved into place to begin the preparations so other volunteers could place the items in the boxes assembly-line style.

While in one room, volunteers assembled the cardboard boxes donated by Cowboy Moving and Storage, in the main room tables were set up to hold the items that would go into the food boxes.

Each station was marked with the number of the item.

Mandy Brauchler and Ella Wilson of Highlands Ranch Girl Scout Troop 3204 marked the boxes of pie crust mix.

“This is my second year to help,” Mandy said. “I like being with my troop and I think it is nice that we can help

Two days after being charged with DUI after transporting a busload of specialneeds students on a field trip, a 36-yearold Centennial man has been fired from his job.

Rodolfo Luna, who lives on South Andes Street, was taken into custody Nov. 20

by Arapahoe County sheriff’s deputies after failing a drug/alcohol test.

Luna had been a bus driver for the school district since July.

“As of today (Nov. 22), Mr. Luna no longer works for the Cherry Creek School District,” said district spokesperson Tustin Amole.

“We’re very disturbed by this incident,” Amole added. “We have notified all of the parents of the students who were on the bus.”

According to a news release issued by the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, on Nov. 20 Luna had driven a bus occupied by 11 special-needs students from Liberty Middle School to a field trip at the Village Inn restaurant at Parker and Arapahoe roads.

“Around 9:28 a.m., representatives of the Cherry Creek School District received an email from a concerned citizen who had witnessed Luna discard empty vodka bottles from his school bus in a parking lot,” the release stated.

After receiving the email, Cherry Creek Schools security officers contacted Luna via radio. Luna stated that he was at Liberty Middle School, where he had just dropped off the students.

Luna was instructed by security officers to remain at the school, but when district personnel arrived at Liberty Middle School, Luna had left the area in the school bus.

Mother promotes organ, tissue donations ‘Gift of Life’ float to roll in Parade of Lights

By George Lurie

glurie@ourcoloradonews.com Today in Colorado, more than 2,000 critically ill patients are awaiting a life-saving organ transplant.

Nationally, the transplant waiting list exceeds 119,000.

For Robin Mitchell, a Centennial resident and mother of five, the unselfish act of registering to be an organ donor has taken on special meaning.

At the age of 15, during the process of applying for his driver’s permit, Mitchell’s son Joe had registered to be an organ, eye and tissue donor.

“He was a special kid and always wanted to help people,” said Robin Mitchell.

In 2008, at the age of 22, Joe died after suffering a seizure.

After his untimely death, five men received organs from Mitchell’s son — his heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and corneas were all used in successful transplant operations.

Mitchell has met four of the five recipients.

“Every time I see them we share a big hug,” she said. “I feel the heart beat and lungs breathing and take comfort in the fact that Joe is living on in someone else.”

Some of the recipients call Mitchell on Joe’s birthday or on Mother’s Day. “It’s helpful and healing,” she said, “and provides some reason and meaning to our tragedy.”

Today, Mitchell calls her son “a hero” — and encourages everyone she meets to talk with their family members and friends about the importance of registering to be an organ donor.

At the upcoming annual Parade of Lights in downtown Denver, Mitchell will be among a group of donation advocates escorting the Donor Alliance’s “Gift of Life” float.

Like Mitchell, others walking in the

parade have a personal connection to the cause: All are Colorado or Wyoming residents whose family members either were or are donors or have been donation recipients.

Colorado residents can register to be an organ and tissue donor at the website www.donatelifecolorado.org or when they apply for or renew their Colorado driver’s license or state ID. A small red heart on the bottom right corner of a driver’s license or ID signifies to public safety personnel, emergency responders and medical personnel that the individual, upon death, has agreed to donate organs, eyes and tissue.

According to the most recent statistics, about 67 percent of Coloradans have signed up to be organ, eye and tissue donors.

“There are no restrictions to registering to be a donor,” said Andrea Smith, director of communications with Donor Alliance.

And those who sign up and then have a change of heart can remove their names from the donor registry by going online to the donatelifecolorado website.

There’s a misconception among some people that if doctors or emergency responders see a red heart on an ID or driver’s license, they won’t try as hard to a save a life, Smith said.

“People are afraid of death in general and fear the worst,” said Smith. “But if you talk to any doctor or medical professional, I guarantee you they’ll say the only thing on their mind is saving that person’s life.”

For each donor, Smith said as many as eight other lives can be saved through organ donation — heart, both lungs, liver, pancreas, both kidneys and small intestines.

The nonprofit Donor Alliance promotes the fact that donations from a single individual can be utilized in as many as 100 different transplant procedures.

“Things like heart valves and bones can be an amazing gift,” said Smith, who said one of the young victims of the Columbine shooting received a bone transplant that allowed her to regain the use of one of her

Mitchell has been a volunteer for the Donor Alliance since her son’s passing in 2008. She has testified before state lawmakers on the importance of donor registries and her advocacy efforts helped lead to the creation of Colorado’s Donate Life license plate.

Every year, the lives of about half a million Americans are saved by organ and tissue donation and Mitchell said she is “so proud” to be able to share the story of her son Joe’s selfless act.

“At some point, we all have the potential to be a hero to someone else,” Mitchell said.

The 39th annual Parade of Lights will take place the evenings of Dec. 6 and 7.

Four years ago, 22-year-old Whitney Thomas had the most exciting week of her life.

In May 2009, Thomas graduated from Arapahoe High School, turned 18 and signed her first contract with Disney on Ice. “It was extremely overwhelming and extremely exciting,” she said.

She went on the road just three months later and has only been home for about two months out of every year ever since, and just one Christmas.

“It was really scary,” she said. “I was homesick for the first few months, because I’d never been away from home before.”

She had to learn on the run how to live out of suitcases, how to eat healthy without her parents watching out for her, all while traveling the globe and performing in up to three shows a day.

“I get to do a bunch of everything, so it keeps everything really exciting,” she said.

“It’s tiring, but you get used to it. And when you love it, it’s not as tiring.”

Thomas will be heading for home soon, as part of the ensemble cast of “Rockin’ Ever

After,” Dec. 5-8 at the Pepsi Center.

“The show is really fun and exciting, and everyone should come see it,” she said.

Merida from “Brave” makes her on-ice debut, and Sebastian, the crab from “The Little Mermaid,” gets to break out of his shell to dance with Ariel.

They’re joined by characters from “Tangled” and “Beauty and the Beast,” Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse and more.

It’s a far cry from her early days of skating, training at South Suburban Ice Arena in Centennial. From the time she started at age 6, she was hooked.

“I loved it so much because it was never easy,” she said. “It was always something to keep fighting for and chasing.”

Thomas flourished at skating all the way through high school, competing locally and regionally, mostly in the freestyle category.

“When I graduated from high school, I knew that I didn’t want to quit skating, but I didn’t really want to compete anymore,” she said.

She sent Disney a video audition, and the company hired her without even seeing her in person. So her “plan B,” majoring in engineering the University of Colorado-Denver, went on hold, though she began online classes about two years ago. Studying takes up many of her days off, but there is time for fun, too, she said.

Health alliance celebrates strides Group working to improve access to care for everyone

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com As the South Metro Health Alliance’s visibility and outreach has continued to grow, members gathered to celebrate at its inaugural Membership and Recognition Fundraising Luncheon at the Franciscan Events Center in Centennial on Nov. 18.

The theme of the day was “Imagination Embraces the World.” SMHA Executive Director Val Purser explained it was from an Albert Einstein quote: “Knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world and all there ever will be to know and understand.”

Purser said imagination has been the driving force behind SMHA, which was first conceived of in 2009 by a group of people concerned about the lack of access to health care by many South Metro residents.

“When we imagine a healthy community, we think of a strong, integrated health-care model that provides access to care and care coordination for absolutely everyone,” she told the attendees.

Traci Jones, SMHA’s director of communications, said that even though having health insurance is now federally mandated, there will still be about 60,000 people in Arapahoe and Douglas counties who won’t have it.

Undocumented residents are included in that figure, as are people who won’t be able to afford it even with tax subsidies and those who simply choose to pay the fine instead.

Jones explained that the organization originally grew out of the Littleton Immigrant Integration Initiative, which was conceived of at a Littleton Community Retreat. This year’s LCR focused on health, and SMHA was well represented, rounding out a circle.

Things really took off with a grant from the Colorado Health Foundation in 2011, which hired Purser and Jones.

They grew the membership from 16 to 107 in just a year, and implemented enrichment workshops, community meetings, traveling outreach, research and pilot programs.

SMHA honored three of its founding board members during the luncheon: Maria Pearson, executive director of TLC Meals on Wheels; Lisa Traudt, a director at Arapahoe/ Douglas Mental Health Network; and Linda Comeaux, a dean at Arapahoe

Community College.

“As we look at imagination embracing the world, we must honor those founders who had the creative imagination and vision some five years ago as we all sat around a table discussing health and wellness in our community,” said Rita Beam, with Tri-County Health Department.

“This effort has taken a village to get up and running successfully.”

Awards were also given to organizations that are effectively using technology to share patients’ health records throughout the medical community.

“This allows delivery of the right health information to the right place at the right time, providing safer, more timely, efficient, patient-centered care,” said Christine Baker of the Colorado Regional Health Information Organization. “(It) saves lives in emergency situations. For example, if a patient arrives at an emergency room unable to communicate the medications they’re taking, their allergies or details of a chronic medical condition.”

The recipients were Greenwood Pediatrics, Dr. Ellen Burkett, Centura Health and Doctors Care.

State health-care rollout smoother than federal Local agencies offer help with website

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Despite the turbulent rollout of the national Obamacare website, Colorado’s version is going a bit smoother.

“The Colorado website has had a few stumbling blocks, but it’s doing pretty well now,” said Sarah Thoemke, outreach coordinator for Doctors Care clinic in Littleton and a designated “health-care guide” for Connect for Health.

Indeed, it fired right up for her demonstration at Arapahoe Community College Nov. 19. Explaining that it’s not necessary to create an account to browse the site, she plugged in her name and some made-up numbers to give an overview of the process.

“It’s really pretty darned intuitive,” she said.

Obamacare, officially known as the Affordable Care Act, means anyone without employer-sponsored health insurance or a private plan must obtain coverage or face a fine of $95 next year, with that amount going up each year thereafter.

The ACA mandates free preven-

tive care, lets kids stay on their parents’ policies until age 26, bans insurance companies from denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions and requires plans to include mental-health care and maternity services, among other things.

That last one has been a sticking point for some, Thoemke acknowledges, and has caused some people to lose plans they liked because they didn’t cover all the bases. Adding the coverage increased expenses, argue some insurance carriers, so they canceled the plans altogether.

“Some people are having an issue with having to pay for some of those things when they don’t need them,” said Thoemke. “It could get tweaked.”

The U.S. Census reports about 98,000 people in Arapahoe County are uninsured. According to data compiled by the South Metro Health Alliance, nearly 50,000 of them will remain uninsured even after the Affordable Care Act is fully implemented. Undocumented residents are included in that figure, as are people who won’t be able to afford it even with tax subsidies and those who simply choose to pay the fine instead.

But for those who do want insurance, www.connectforhealthco.com is a starting place, allowing them to find out first if they qualify for ex-

panded Medicaid services. If so, they must accept it or pay full price for a private plan, explained Thoemke.

If not, consumers might still qualify for tax subsidies or cost-sharing incentives to purchase one of about 150 private plans from recognizable carriers like Kaiser and Anthem, among others, which they can compare side by side and filter by carriers, levels of coverage, etc.

Thoemke plugged in an annual salary of $27,000, which brought up plans starting at around $150 a month. But there are a lot of variables that can affect the final numbers, she said.

“The only way to really understand this is to go online and apply,” she said. “It is a lot to go through.”

One tricky thing is that the quote is based on the consumer’s own prediction of what their 2014 income will be. If you qualify for tax subsidies and guess too low, you’ll owe money back. But the site syncs with IRS data, so glaring discrepancies should be caught, said Thoemke.

The deadline to sign up for coverage to begin on Jan. 1 is Dec. 15, and the final deadline is March 31 for coverage to start in May. Help is available to navigate the site from health-care guides like Thoemke. She can be reached at 720-458-6185 or coverassist@doctorscare.org.

Families celebrate adoptions

Thirteen Arapahoe County foster children were welcomed into a “forever family” during Arapahoe County’s Nov. 14 special court proceedings for National Adoption Month. Arapahoe County’s Department of Human Services found permanent homes for the children, who had been victims of abuse or neglect.

“We are so grateful to these 12 families for giving a loving, stable home to children who have experienced trauma and loss,” said Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe. “These youth have had a difficult journey, but from this point on will know a lifetime of love and commitment, thanks to kind and loving adoptive parents.”

To learn more about adoption, call 303-6361KID or attend a monthly information session. The next session will be held at 6 p.m., Dec. 3 at the Arapahoe County Administration Building, 5334 S. Prince St. in Littleton. For more information and to register, visit www.collaborativefostercare.com.

opinions / yours and ours

Information is not the public’s enemy This week’s release of a report summarizing the investigation into the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary offers a glimpse into the horror of what happened on Dec. 14, 2012.

It, however, is not a complete accounting of what happened. The state police’s full report was not included and it is not known when that will be released. At the same time, media outlets are fighting for the release of 911 tapes — which generally are considered public record. Indeed, nearly a year later, the Newtown, Conn., tragedy is still marked by a measure of secrecy.

We’re not going to argue what should and shouldn’t be released in the Sandy Hook investigation. Records in this case, in which a gunman killed 28 people, including 20 children, should be handled delicately. The victims’ families deserve that.

What we will point out, though, is that

our view

the slow release of information — and the outright withholding of some records — is not limited to high-profile, horrific cases like Sandy Hook. It happens every day in Colorado, most likely throughout the nation.

“Ongoing criminal investigation.”

That’s the phrase routinely used to deny reporters and the public information about a case.

The Colorado Open Records Act allows for this. Law enforcement agencies may deny the release of records when provid-

question of the week

What do you want for Thanksgiving dinner?

Everyone loves Thanksgiving dinner, but most crave one dish more than the rest.

Colorado Community Media went to Arapahoe Community College in Littleton to find out what people’s favorites are.

“The dressing. I make it from a recipe my mom used to have. She’s no longer here, so it’s special.”

— Jean Oleson, Sheridan

“The sweet potatoes. It’s just a tradition for the women in my family to make this one recipe. I always ask my kids what the must-have is, and everybody always wants it.”

— Wendi Fling, Castle Pines

“The turkey my boyfriend makes. He puts all kinds of stuff in it, like beer and oranges. I’m not sure how exactly he does it, but it tastes good.”

— Irena Kaminska, Aurora

“My grandmother’s macaroni and cheese. Kraft says they have the cheesiest macaroni, but if you go to my grandmother’s house, hers will smack Kraft in the face.”

— Floyd Lewis, Denver

I wrote a book … but I digress Dachshunds were bred to hunt badgers. Knowing dachshunds — I am on my third — this seems like a bad idea.

My current roommate would have a problem, as I wrote, trying to get into a box of Wheat Thins.

But so would I. I can’t open anything anymore, so I wrote a column about bad packaging. I have been writing Quiet Desperation since March 2012. We decided to compile some of the columns, I have written over 500, into a book. The title, “This is not a dachshund,” is an homage to Belgian artist René Magritte, and specifically to his painting “The Treachery of Images.” Beneath what is clearly a painting of a pipe are the words “This is not a pipe.”

“Magritte became well known for a number of witty and thought-provoking images that fall under the umbrella of surrealism.”

Magritte’s point was that while it is definitely a painting of a pipe, it is not in fact a pipe.

Maybe you have seen his painting of an apple that fills an entire room. My favorite Magritte is “Clairvoyance (A SelfPortrait).” Magritte is shown painting a bird while looking at an egg.

His paintings are like Steven Wright’s quotes. Deadpan punch lines that cleverly affect perceptions of reality. “I’m writing a book. I’ve got the page numbers done,” Wright said.

My editor gives me a very long leash.

I have written about “coffee babies,” my fear of bowling shirts, and hand talkers. I have also written about love, friendship, and aging.

Almost anything can trigger a column.

ing the information would “be contrary to the public interest.” Generally, the “ongoing criminal investigation” phrase is invoked. Further explanation will sometimes yield that releasing the information could jeopardize the case against a suspect.

Maybe it could put witnesses in danger.

What often happens is that the local law enforcement agency gives out some initial nuggets of information — which may or may not include an arrest report or other official documents. After the agency finishes its investigation, the case moves on to the district attorney. Then, for a period of weeks, or months, or sometimes more than a year, no further details are released. Generally, you have to wait for trial to get anything near the full story.

This process leaves more than just reporters unsatisfied. The American Civil Liberties Union joined with a local couple last week to sue the Town of Castle Rock,

Filling the gratitude bucket all year long Over the years I have shared Thanksgiving meals with family and friends, some in their homes and some in my own home.

One of the traditions I enjoy the most is when everyone takes the time to go around the table and talk about what is that they are most thankful for.

Each year it is so much fun to watch people as we get closer to that time of the meal where they will be asked to share what they are most grateful for, and for some they squirm a little while others can’t wait to take center stage. And then there are others who either have the same list every year or stick with a very simple declaration of appreciation for friends and family.

Has the tradition lost its oomph? Do we do it out of ritualistic habit and just because mom or dad, grandma or grandpa have asked us to?

Or maybe, just maybe we have actually spent time realizing and recognizing all that we appreciate, or should be so very grateful for in our lives.

What if every day we were asked to share what it is that we are most grateful for?

Would we squirm and would our palms get sweaty as we fidgeted and searched for a quality response? Could we possibly find ourselves just repeating the same things each time we are asked?

The answer would probably be yes unless we are filling our gratitude bucket all the time.

Instead of looking for all that is wrong today or has gone wrong in the past, we need to become acutely aware of the good things that surround us each and every day.

Centennial Citizen I rarely write about Douglas County.

Ryan Boldrey does a great job of covering local issues. I am much better with artificial eyelashes, non-sequiturs, and haggis. Most of the time there are obscure references, and some of the time I simply make things up.

Now and then I have been more contemplative. I wrote one column about Asperger syndrome, and another one about a famous southwest Ohio murder.

I was the lone witness. The murder occurred in 1963, just weeks before my junior year in high school, and just months before JFK was assassinated.

The case went to trial in 2001. Learn the outcome in the book. Now see? This is something they do on the 10 o’clock news, and I hate it. “Amelia Earhart found living in Scottsdale. Story after the break.”

I’ll tell you right now that the accused was found not guilty. The verdict was Ohio’s OJ. I believe in serial digressions. I think I get this from Groucho Marx and others, for whom wordplay is very important. I have “Groucho Letters: Letters from Smith continues on Page 9

its town clerk and the police chief for refusal to release records related to an incident in February. The couple’s car was hit with a bullet, they say, after a police officer fired his gun at a burglary suspect.

They say they want more answers about what happened before and during the shooting.

Thing is, it’s an ongoing investigation.

We won’t argue what should and shouldn’t be released in this case either.

We don’t have enough information to do that.

Surely there are some cases in which a successful prosecution and people’s safety depend on keeping things under wraps.

But “ongoing investigation” has become a stock answer, and as such, we’ll say the spirit of the open records law is being violated on a regular basis in Colorado.

All too often what’s contrary to the public interest is being left out in the dark.

It’s been said that gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions.

It’s kind of like the analogy of the glass being half full or half empty. When we view our gratitude bucket, is yours half full or half empty?

Maybe you will read this column before Thanksgiving and will have time to prepare your response should you be asked for the list of things you are grateful for.

And maybe you will not have had the opportunity to read this until after Thanksgiving, and that is OK too because now you can live each day in search of things you can appreciate and that will fill your gratitude bucket making every day of the year Thanksgiving Day. I really would love to hear about all that you are grateful for and what you truly appreciate at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can recognize what we appreciate most, it will be a better than good week.

Be thankful for sustenance of God It is necessary to be thankful. The Giver of all good things deserves our thanks and we need to be thankful for our own emotional health.

During this difficult season of my unemployment, thankfulness has lifted my emotions and perspective. It might seem that thankfulness is for those who have a lot so they can take a day to feast and count their blessings. But, the older I get the more I experience that it is thankfulness that gets me through the hard times and keeps my focus on my Source so I can see that God is working, even when circumstances are bad. Many years ago, thankfulness also worked for the Pilgrims.

The first Thanksgiving in New England is the most famous, but it is the second one that lets us know that thankfulness can take place even in the worst of circumstances.

The daily ration of food for the Pilgrims in the winter of 1622 was a mere five kernels of corn. It seems impossible to be able to sustain life on such a small amount of food. Perhaps a nutritionist could prove that it is “humanly” impossible to live through the cold winters of New

England on just five kernels of corn.

When the Pilgrims arrived in New England late in the fall of 1620 they had no idea of what they would face. The only thing they knew for sure was why they came and Who they trusted to get them through. That first winter was marked by sickness and death. They lost 47 of the first 102 that left England.

The second winter was marked by the challenge of unexpected and unwanted guests that ate many of their supplies, dramatic shortfalls in food, a drought and personal struggles with selfishness.

In all of their challenges they looked to God. They prayed for wisdom in their decisions, received correction where

needed in their attitudes and trusted for provisions for all their needs. God proved adequate and for the second time and each fall thereafter they set aside a time to celebrate His work by giving thanks.

Somehow God made five kernels of corn sustain the Pilgrims that bitter winter of 1621-1622. It seems that since He was going to supply their need that He could have made it easier — but then we wouldn’t be talking about it today and perhaps they would not have experienced the depths of need that resulted in a heart of thankfulness.

It is natural for me to slide into wanting a more immediate, dramatic and lucrative rescue from what ails me and for all the problems of our world. Maybe you can relate.

But when we become thankful, and express our thanks to God, even for our pitiful “Five Kernels of Corn,” the Source that sustained the Pilgrims sustains us.

He gives hope to the underdog, the abused and forgotten, strength to the tired, the frightened, the overwhelmed and the unemployed. We learn that a little can become much and those of us with

plenty are challenged to know that we are lavishly blessed at the hand of a gracious and generous God. Let’s not wait for our problems, personally or culturally, to “go away” in order to be thankful but in our seemingly insurmountable and painful circumstances let’s renew our commitment to live a life, thankful to God for what we do have.

Ann Voscamp inspires us to thanks in her bestselling book, “One Thousand Gifts.” “I want to see beauty. In the ugly, in the sink, in the suffering, in the daily, in all the days before I die, the moments before I sleep.” “... the secret to joy is to keep seeking God where we doubt He is.”

“Eucharisteo — thanksgiving — always precedes the miracle.”

Thanksgiving may contain the solution we are looking for. It definitely helps us experience emotional health.

a day. The Centennial restaurant is located at 8271 S. Quebec St. The Sheridan restaurant is located at 3502 River Point Parkway.

In recent weeks, the company has hired more than 140 new employees.

In business since 1934, Steak ’n Shake operates more than 500 restaurants around the country, with many located in the South and Midwest.

The Centennial and Sheridan restaurants have been in the headlines in recent months, closed since late summer by a tangle of lawsuits filed after the franchise owner ignored a corporate directive and charged higher prices for certain menu items.

The metro-area’s only two Steak ’n Shake franchises had been owned by Kathryn and Larry Baerns and their son Christopher.

The Baernses opened Colorado’s first Steak ’n Shake in Centennial in 2011, investing a reported $4 million to secure a 20-year lease as well as the option to open as many as a dozen more Denver-area locations.

But in September of this year, a judge ordered the Baernses to stop operating under the Steak ’n Shake banner because of

Once all the supplies were set up, another group of volunteers picked up empty boxes and began to move down the line, placing the proper number of items in the box.

Cindy Marlatt, of First Commercial Bank, said there were five volunteers from the Englewood business.

“It is just our way to help others in our community,” she said as she put items in the food box.

Farther down the line, Mary Ramos was filling her box.

“A friend told me about Inter-Faith and what they do and I signed up to be a vol-

Driver Continued from Page 1

Around noon, school district security officers and the district’s transportation director caught up with Luna, who was still driving the bus in the area of South Buckley Road and East Peakview Avenue.

When contacted again via radio by school security officers, Luna pulled over and was taken off the bus and driven immediately to an area emergency room where, in accordance with district policy, he underwent a drug/alcohol test.

Afterward, Luna and security personnel returned to the district’s bus yard and were met by sheriff’s deputies.

Luna consented to a roadside sobriety

November 29, 2013 an ongoing, increasingly contentious disagreement with the corporate office over pricing of menu items.

At one point, the dispute prompted Steak ’n Shake corporate to cut off the computerized cash register systems in Centennial and Sheridan.

This summer, a Denver judge stepped into the fray and granted the Baernses a temporary restraining order, forcing the company to bring the Centennial and Sheridan restaurants back online.

But after the restraining order expired in early September, the corporate office once again withdrew its technical support and the Baernses were forced to close their restaurants again.

Although the two parties remain embroiled in legal action over damage claims by the Baernses, last month the company announced it had reached an agreement with the family to take over the two Denver-area locations.

In their most recent press release, Steak ’n Shake officials made no mention of the ongoing legal issues.

Attempts to reach the Baernses or their attorney were unsuccessful.

But none of the restaurant chain’s recent legal challenges seemed to concern those standing in line outside the Centennial Steak ’n Shake Nov. 25.

“I heard about the free food on the radio and had to come over here and check

unteer,” the Centennial resident said. “I am thankful for all I have and I just want to do what I can so others can properly celebrate Thanksgiving.”

Sandra Blythe-Perry, Inter-Faith director, moved around the room to make sure thing were moving smoothly.

“This is one of our big holiday events and it takes a lot of help to make it a success. We had a lot of organizations put on drives to collect food for the project and numerous organizations and individuals who donated cash so we can buy the supermarket gift certificates so each family can have a turkey or a ham,” she said. “Then the volunteers come tonight to assemble the boxes and we’ll have volunteers here Nov. 23 as about 550 needy families come to each pick up a food box and, at the same time, our volunteers will deliver 100 boxes to seniors.”

test, which he failed, and then admitted to deputies that he had consumed vodka and cold medicine prior to starting his shift.

Luna was arrested and subsequently charged with DUI, reckless endangerment and child abuse.

The district attorney’s office is reportedly considering pressing additional charges related to Luna being “in a position of trust” at the time of the alleged incident.

Following his arrest, Luna was transported to the Arapahoe County jail and held on a $1,000 bond.

Amole said the school district does criminal background checks on all new hires and conducts random, monthly drug testing on all employees who drive district vehicles. “(Luna) was a relatively new employee,” Amole said. “I am told he did not have a police record.”

Several hundred people lined up outside the Cetennial Steak ‘n Shake restaurant on a wet, blustery morning Nov. 25.

The crowd was hoping to take advantage of the company’s offer of “free Steak ‘n Shake for a year” to the first 100 customers.

“My toes are frozen and I feel like I could be catching a cold,” Wilson said. “But a free steak burger and vanilla shake should be just what the doctor ordered.”

Valor Christian to add arts building Auditorium, multiple studios part of sprawling structure

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Valor Christian hosts its weekly chapel exercises in the gym. When it comes to performing arts, students build their sets in storage spaces, garages, or parking lots.

They then travel to Lone Tree, Parker or Denver to put on a production. As for rehearsal space, director of the arts Arie Ringnalda calls the school’s existing conditions in the basement of the academic building “comically crowded.”

That’s all about to change, however, as the school has plans to break ground on an 83,000-square-foot arts building in the spring of 2014 with the hopes of having much of it open for the 2015-16 school year.

The new building will increase the number of total teaching spaces at the school from 55 to 75, with 22 of those tailored for specialized instruction in either arts or communication.

There will be a full-size practice room for the school’s two symphonies, a black box theater that will double as a lecture hall, a TV production suite, professionallevel recording studio, two dance studios, 3-D and 2-D art studios, and a photography room. The main attraction of the building, though, will be a 720-seat auditorium perfect for hosting the school’s productions, community theater and high school debate contests.

“If you were asking me to put this on a scale of one to 10 as for level of excitement, it’s about a 14,” said dance instructor John DeYoung, whose current basement studio doubles as a Spanish classroom. “We’re getting out of a modified storage unit.”

CHRISTMAS PRODUCTION What: Sacred Night When: 7 p.m. Dec. 6-7, 4:30 p.m. Dec. 8 Where: Central Presbyterian Church, 1660 Sherman St., Denver How much: Free Info: www.ValorArts.com

From there, DeYoung will take his students into a professional-style studio with dance bars, integrated lighting systems and mountain views. The change is but a microcosm of the overall transformation of the entire arts wing, which Ringnalda sees as necessary to fulfill Valor’s vision of running an elite arts program that positively spreads the message of Christ.

“We’re basically offering a college-level program at the high school level,” Ringnalda said. “One of our key objectives is to give these kids a leg up when they go off to college. That is already happening now, but with the right facilities in place we will be able to do that at that much higher of a level.

“There are 600-plus kids at Valor involved in arts between classes and afterschool programs. The program is thriving now, but the space was never built to support it at the level we have been envisioning. It’s almost like we are buttoned up against a glass ceiling, we can see where we want to go aren’t quite there yet.”

When finished, the proposed building will have a look on the outside that will fit right in with the rest of the campus.

“What they are planning is typical Valor, gorgeous,” said Highlands Ranch Community Association Developmental Review Committee chairman Woody Bryant. “It’s going to be beautiful.”

In the foreground, Valor Christian freshmen Brennan Gullick, left, and Parker Nolan work out a scene in the school’s existing makeshift rehearsal space. Valor is breaking ground on an 83,000-square-foot arts building this coming spring. Photo by Ryan Boldrey

School superintendents from around the state converged on Denver on Nov. 19 to address a myriad of issues facing Colorado schools — and it was clear from the discussions that there are no easy answers to any of those problems.

Concerns over funding, student and teacher assessment testing and parental involvement were among the many issues that were tackled by 10 superintendents during “The State of Our Districts” forum that was held inside the Denver Center for Performing Arts.

The timing of the forum, which was put on by the Public Education & Business Coalition, was apt. It was two weeks removed from an election where a major, statewide school funding initiative was rejected by voters.

Superintendents who supported Amendment 66 — which sought to overhaul public school funding by way of a considerable tax hike — are still stinging from the defeat, as they continue to deal with budget shortfalls. “Opportunities for kids across the state should not be determined by the property tax in their area,” said Denver Public Schools Superintendent Tom Boasberg.

Not everyone was upset over Amendment 66’s failure. Douglas County Schools Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen said that full-day kindergarten — one of the key selling points behind the funding measure — would have caused facility issues in Douglas County. “Frankly, for us, it was a significant issue that we would have had to deal with,” she said.

Much of the discussion centered around

reform initiatives and state and national assessment mandates, and the challenges districts face surrounding their implementations — something to which each of the superintendents could relate.

For example, Adams 12 Five Star Schools Superintendent Chris Gdowski said that abiding by certain online assessment standards means that the district has to come up with up to $15 million to ensure that its information technology systems can adequately support the testing. “It’s a classic example of wanting well-intended outcomes,” Gdowski said. “But, $10 (million) to $15 million is an enormous investment for a district that’s really struggling right now.”

Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Scott Murphy blasted what he calls the “Washington D.C.-ing of Colorado.” Murphy said that many of the national assessment mandates simply aren’t good fits for every state. “(Those mandates) may not apply to a state that’s rich in agriculture, mining and, frankly, independence,” he said.

One key national assessment mandate that will be implemented next year will be tied to the Common Core State Standards Initiative, which will require that K-12 students receive instruction under more rigorous standards. Over the summer, the Douglas County school board rejected implementation of the Common Core standards, opting instead to institute its own.

“Common Core standards are not high enough for what we’re aiming for in Douglas County,” said Fagen.

Boasberg said he appreciates the standards that are put in place through Common Core, but said that there’s a reality that districts face. “The standards are wonderful,” he said. “But you don’t just wave a magic wand and say to a kid who is struggling to read something in seventh grade that you should be doing this in fifth grade.”

Daddy Warbucks (Daniel Langhoff ), Annie (Sydney Fairbairn) and Grace (Rebekah Ortiz) anticipate Christmas in “Annie” at Town Hall Arts Center.

Courtesyp hoto

It’s time to go with the glow

‘ANNIE’ lights up Town Hall Comic strip gave birth to musical

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Pretend it is December 1933 — and enjoy Town Hall Arts Center’s holiday treat for the community.

Harold Gray’s popular Depression-era comic strip about a spunky little orphan with red hair gained a new life in 1977 when Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin created a musical called “Annie.” It initially ran in New York for six years and has surfaced regularly ever since.

It is Town Hall’s choice for the 2013 holiday season and tickets are flying out the door for the show, which opened Nov. 15.

Veteran director Bob Wells has again brought his special skills to producing “Annie” on Town Hall’s small stage. Working with those little girls has been a joy, he said

backstage before the opening night performance — with a giant grin lighting up his face.

With its well-crafted production, positive vibes, wacky characters, cute kids, music and dance — and even a Christmas party at the end — it’s an ideal show for family audiences.

Sidney Fairbairn, a sixth-grader at West Middle School, debuts at Town Hall in the Annie role and expert comic LuAnn Buckstein was born to play the tipsy Miss Hannigan.

Annie’s young fellow orphans at the New York City Municipal Orphanage bring considerable stage presence, strong singing voices and experience to the story: Regan Fenske, Rebecca Hyde, Serena Kopf, Lexi Lubotsky and Jenna Paige Smith.

Daniel Langhoff shaved his head and brought his warm voice to Town Hall to play corporate magnate Daddy Warbucks.

Cory Wendling and Taylor Nicole Young are appropriately sleazy as Hannigan’s brother Rooster and his lady friend Lily. Rebekah

And of course, there’s furry star Sandy, performed with a bit of uncertainty on opening night by Turbo Adams, a sweet-looking golden retriever who was called in to substitute. We feel sure he will soon be more comfortable in his role, given the steady supply of treats Annie has in her pocket.

Truth hurts in ‘Rancho Mirage’ Glib chatter morphs into something else

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcolorado news.com Time: now. Scene: a handsome, expensive home in any American suburb — here it’s called “Rancho Mirage,” which is also the name of Steven Dietz’s new play, now running at Curious Theatre as part of a rolling world premiere. (Curious is part of the National New Play Network which promises at least three productions in a year for chosen new plays. This process gives a new work exposure enough to give it legs.)

As lights go up on the first scene, Diane (C. Kelly Leo) and Nick Dahner (Bill Hahn) are fussing over dinner party preparations as they await the arrival of their good friends Trevor (David Russell) and Louise Parker Neese (Karen Slack) and Char-

“Rancho Mirage” by Steven Dietz plays through Dec. 7 at Curious Theatre. From left: Karen Slack (Louise Parker Neese); Erik Sandvold (Charlie Caldwell); C. Kelly Leo (Diane Dahner); Bill Hahn (Nick Dahner); Emily Paton Davies (Pam Caldwell). Courtesy photo lie (Erik Sandvold) and Pam Caldwell (Emily Paton Davies).

Tension is apparent from the first conversation and it increases as the other players appear. Dietz, a Colorado-born playwright who University of Texas and is one of America’s most produced theater writers, is known for his crisp, sharp

dialogue and unexpected story twists.

He is quoted in a Curious publication, when questioned about his inspiration for “Rancho Mirage”: “What would happen when a group of friends — good friends — ended up together and started telling the whole truth to each other?”

His picture of a group of welloff American 30- to 40-somethings seems spot-on as they talk about money problems, marital issues, minor envies, ambitions, children, inability to have children, travel, babysitters and more. They are competitive, sympathetic and ornery in turn as the evening wears on. One thinks one has the tale figured out and then Dietz takes one in another direction.

The cast is filled with mature, extremely skilled actors, who develop each character in depth and make delivery of Dietz’s lines zing. Director Christopher Leo keeps the pace fast and steady, if a bit frantic, as ideas and experiences are discussed one after the other by a group you almost like — most of the time.

“Rancho Mirage” invites the audience to listen in on an evening they may have experienced before in their own lives. This is well-crafted contemporary theater at its best.

City streetlights, even stoplights dressed in bright red and green, and purple, and yellow, and orange and, and, and, will dazzle downtown Denver dwellers and visitors beginning with the Grand Illumination at 6 p.m. Nov. 29.

The city’s celebration begins with opening day of the Southwest Rink at Skyline Park, at 16th Street and Arapahoe, beginning at 10 a.m. daily through Feb. 16. Skating is free with skate rentals at $2 (skate rental on opening day is free). More information: www.southwestrink.com.

Your Keys to the City, a public piano art program created by the Downtown Denver Partnership, returns along the 16th Street Mall with five winter-themed pianos painted by local artists. The pianos, which will remain along the mall until Dec. 30, are available for free public play from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.

At 6 p.m. Nov. 29, Denver’s historic D&F Tower will turn on its holiday lights, and more than 550,000 energy-efficient LED lights will illuminate the 16th Street Mall, California Street between 14th and 17th streets and Curtis Street between 14th and 16th streets.

Meanwhile at Union Station, LoDo District Inc. will present a holiday-themed choir, a Children’s Museum craft table, treats provided by LoDo restaurants and a visit from Dinger Claus (the Colorado Rockies mascot in costume).

The City and County Building, lit entirely in LED lights, will be illuminated nightly from 5:45 to 10:45 p.m. through Jan. 26.

Charity CD coming

Twenty-five years of in-studio performances will be celebrated with 18 new songs from the KBCO Studio C vault, which will be released on its annual charity CD beginning at 8 p.m. Dec. 7 at all seven Paul’s TV locations inside Furniture Row and at Denver Mattress in Boulder.

The CD features music recorded live on the radio from the Boulder/Denver radio station’s performance studio, KBCO Studio C. 97.3 KBCO has hosted thousands of intimate KBCO Studio C sessions with artists and bands from all over the world for 25 years.

The KBCO Studio C 25th Anniversary CD will feature performances as far back as 1994 with the Dave Matthews Band along with songs recorded over the last year from artists like Imagine Dragons, Phoenix, Capital Cities and Phillip Phillips. The CD will benefit the Boulder County AIDS Project and Food Bank of the Rockies.

Because of high demand, there will be a limit of two CDs per person and the collection will be sold for $12 each. Traditionally the annual CD release sells out in less than a day, with avid KBCO Studio C fans lining up before sunrise to get their copies of the coveted charity disc.

A complete list of Paul’s TV locations and all additional details are available by visiting www.kbco.com.

Arvada adds eatery

The folks at Udi’s Foods were slated to open Braun’s Taphaus & Grille in the old space of the Archive Room in Olde Town Arvada on Friday, Nov. 22.

Eater Denver reported Braun’s will serve “traditional German cuisine and American comfort food with 20 rotating beers on tap.”

Dream trip takes artists to Italy Two-week course held at La Romita

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “Art in Italy,” a two-week course in photography or plein air painting, is offered by two members of Arapahoe Community College’s Art Department from May 17 to June 1. The location is La Romita, a beautiful 500-year-old monastery repurposed into an art school, in Umbria, Italy. This sound like a dream trip for any artist.

Marsha Wooley, the plein air instructor, spent a fortnight at La Romita last year painting with another group and enjoyed it enough to recommend a return visit. She will share her expertise as a nationally recognized landscape painter with students who join the trip. They will create both landscapes and cityscapes.

Photographer Trish Sangelo has participated in previous ACC study trips to Italy and will help her students document the Italian landscapes, cityscapes and people.

The course can be taken for credit through the college or non-credit through the Community Education department.

Wooley and Sangelo have planned Art 276 102: Trip Preparation with a half-credit. It is required of those who will seek the three credits offered from the travel portion and highly recommended for noncredit participants. It will meet from 9 to 11 a.m. on four Saturdays: Jan. 25, Feb. 22, March 29, April 19.

To register for the trip, go online for information about Art 276 101: Painting and Photography. There will be a final critique on July 12 from 9 to 11 a.m. and an exhibition of student artwork at ACC Colorado Gallery of the Arts from Sept. 2 to Oct. 10, 2014.

Details are available on the college web-

“Roof Tops, Cortona Italy” is a photograph by Trish Sangelo, who will be teaching photography in the Art in Italy class.

Estimated costs based on double rooms, including tuition, La Romita room and board, air fare and travel insurance, comes to $5,535.

Highlands Ranch sole man

Randy E. Johnson, an owner-agent for State Farm Insurance (www.randyejohnson.com), is an official dropoff location for the global anti-poverty organization, Soles4Souls Inc. Johnson’s office is at 8925 Ridgeline Blvd., Suite 101 in Highlands Ranch.

“We are encouraging the community to join us in giving back by dropping off any gently worn or new shoes to our office during business hours and we will ship the shoes to Soles4Souls,” said Johnson. “We are proud to be partnering with this organization doing so much here in the United States, as well as globally.”

It is estimated that approximately 300 million children

worldwide — almost as many as the entire U.S. population — live without shoes. Lacking proper footwear, countless children will not be able or permitted to attend school. Tens of millions poverty-stricken, barefoot boys and girls will be infected with soiltransmitted parasitic diseases.

Lone Tree art event is class act 100 works are on display in center

if you go

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com While it will be easier to get a good look at the art at a later date, it was genuinely rewarding to see the large crowd of art lovers who turned out for the Nov. 16 opening reception of the 12th Annual Lone Tree Art Exhibition and Sale, displayed at the Lone Tree Arts Center through Jan. 5. Soft classical music by the Mountain Air String Quartet drifted through the spacious lobby of the center.

Fine Arts Commission Chair Lucius Brooker announced that there had been 330 entries from across Colorado as well as Wyoming and South Carolina for juror Katharine Smith-Warren to judge. She selected a total of 100 art works by 68 artists for the show and they fill the lobby, a central hall and sitting room to the rear.

Smith-Warren, a Denver artist, teacher

Lone Tree Arts Center is at 10075 Commons Street, near the Lincoln and Ridgegate intersection. The exhibit will be open for viewers from 10 am. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and prior to performances. Admission is free. Art can be purchased through the box office. 720509-1101.

and curator, has extensive experience in the metro area, where she presently oversees the Visiting Artist program at Art Students League of Denver and teaches a class on “The Denver Art Scene” for the Enrichment Program at the University of Denver’s University College.

She spoke briefly at the opening, saying she was impressed and hoped everything sold. In her statement, she complimented the range of work. “There was work that was intellectually challenging, images that evoked memories and work that displayed curiosity and new ideas.”

The art is skillfully arranged in Lone

Tree curator Sally Perisho’s installation.

Smith-Warren awarded the “Best in Show” ribbon to accomplished artist Linda Lowry’s oil painting, “Water Nymphs,” a horizontal (12”x55”) picture of a row of happy splashing children in the water.

Lowry, who lives in Boulder, is a former Arapahoe Community College instructor. Her skilled painting technique invites a close look. This is one from a delightful 2012 Denver gallery one-woman exhibit on the water nymph theme. She will win the opportunity to mount a solo show at the center in 2014.

Awards for oils: First, “Don Quixote’s Ghost” by Rosa Knoblock, an imaginative bit of storytelling. Second was “Last Light”

by Tracy Haines, which depicts a snowy road heading into the woods. Third in oils is Jane Smith’s “On the Edge,” an abstracted visit to the water’s edge. Honorable mentions: Sina March, Charlene Goldman and Heather Arenas.

Watercolorist Sandra Daney took first place in Water Media with “Umbrella Day,” a city street scene and Alice Riley’s nicely

composed “Gloaming” won second. Jurgen Sander’s strongly colored abstract “Untitled II” has a Third Place ribbon and Honorable Mention went to Martha Heppard’s charming “American Avocets, Batik.”

Mixed Media ribbons were awarded to: Jennifer Davey, First for her large yellow abstract “Uncovering;” Second to Cherri LaMarr’s sober portrait, “The Girl in the Green Chair” and Third to Ron Gebhardt’s humorous “Portrait of Adam With Tattoo,” an overweight male nude in repose. Mixed Media Honorable Mentions were awarded to Judith Bennett’s warmly colored abstract, “Subtle Interplay” and Valerie Savage’s unique “Reflecting on the First Flight” — carved from an old book, with painting added.

Pastel awards included Laurie Sorkin’s soft father and son portrait, “Kite Flying”; Tracy Haines’ deeply colored “Rox Park Down” and Loretta Foyle’s horizontal landscape “In the Shadows.

Fred Lunger’s “Mountain Bluebird” and Tania Rustage’s “Imbalance” won in Sculpture.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF NOV 28, 2013

crossword • sudoku

GALLERY OF GAMES & weekly horoscope

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) A project benefits from your organizational skills that get it up and running.

Your success leaves a highly favorable impression.

Don’t be surprised if you get some positive feedback soon.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Spend time on practical matters through the end of the week. Then begin shifting your focus to more-artistic pursuits. Resist being overly self-critical. Just allow yourself to feel free to create.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Restarting those creative projects you had set aside for a while will help provide a much-needed soothing balance to your hectic life. Besides, it will be like meeting old friends again.

crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A change in plans could make it tough to keep a commitment. But stay with it.

You’ll get an A-plus for making the effort to do what’s right and not taking the easy way out by running off.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) The Lion’s enthusiasm for a workplace policy review is admirable. But be sure you know who is really behind the resistance to change before pointing your finger at the wrong person.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) You can expect to have to do a lot of work through midweek. Devote the rest of the week to checking your holiday plans in case some need to be adjusted to accommodate changes.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Try to avoid signing on the dotted line in the early part of the week. You need time to study issues that weren’t fully explored. Later in the week might be more favorable for decisionmaking.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A new development could snarl travel schedules or other holiday-linked projects. Some flexibility might be called for to deal with the problems before they get too far out of hand.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Relatives seek your advice on a matter you’d rather not be involved in. If so, use that sage Sagittarian tact to decline the “offer,” so that no one’s feelings are needlessly hurt.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A shift in planning direction might help you speed up your progress toward achieving that long-planned goal. Trusted colleagues are ready to offer some valuable support.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) An unexpected demand for settlement of an old loan could create some pre-holiday anxiety. But you might not really owe it. Check your records thoroughly before remitting payment.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) It’s a good time to get into the social swim and enjoy some well-earned fun and games with those closest to you before you have to resume more serious activities next week.

Valor makes another title game Eagles will battle Fairview in 5A finale

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com It has almost become an annual event like the National Western Stock Show, the St. Patrick’s Day Parade or the Cinco de Mayo Festival.

That’s Valor Christian playing in the Colorado state championship football game.

Valor will be seeking its fifth consecutive state title Nov. 30 when the Eagles (12-1) meet Fairview (12-0) in the Class 5A championship finale in a 2:30 p.m. clash at Sports Authority Field.

“We never take it for granted that we’ve been able to play in five straight state championships,” said Valor Christian coach Rod Sherman. “We are thankful for the opportunity. Hopefully we will play well. Our banquet will be on Sunday whether we win or lose.”

The Eagles have won 21 state playoff games in a row, including one Class 3A title game, two in Class 4A and last season in their first season in Class 5A championship event. Valor has outscored teams 154-32 in the four championship encounters.

Valor Christian overcame a 16-7 deficit and rallied for a 42-23 semifinal victory over Cherokee Trail Nov. 23 in a semifinal game at Legacy Stadium in a rematch of last season’s championship game.

Fun is matter of course for golfers Dunkle, Lee wrap up prep careers

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Kyler Dunkle and Hunter Lee had fun playing golf this season.

Dunkle, a senior from Douglas County, and Lee, a senior at Heritage, were selected as coColorado Community Media South Metro Boys Golfers of the Year.

“I was pretty happy with the season,” said Dunkle. “I didn’t put up many real low scores but I was pretty consistent.

“I really didn’t have any high scores which helped my scoring average. I was pretty happy with the overall outcome of the season.”

Dunkle, the 2012 state champion, compiled an average score of 70.8 and wound up tied for 14th during the state tournament at Murphy Creek with rounds of 73 and 76 for a five-overpar 149.

“You always want to perform better than you did, but I was real happy with how I did,” said Dunkle. “Consistency is good, and once you find consistency, it’s more of trying to consistently hit lower scores.”

Lee was consistent with an average score of 73 in his rounds this season.

He came home tied for 10th place in the state tournament at 148 after carding scores of 75 and 73.

“Overall I was fairly pleased because I had fun this season,” said Lee. “It was the most fun I’ve had in my high school golf career. The season was definitely more fun, but I had higher expectations for my state performance, because you are always trying to win.

“I thought I could have done better at state. I didn’t think I brought my best game, but I’m still proud of putting my best forward, even though I wasn’t playing the best.”

“That was really the key part,” he said. “I had always been talented enough to shoot low, but sometimes I had been in my own way.

“I just embraced it more. I didn’t stress out as much about juggling school and golf. I kind of balanced it better.

“I was a lot more grateful this year and I had a newfound appreciation for having the privilege to play. That made it fun. I wasn’t really worried about my scores. My goal this year was to have fun.”

Picking the athletes of the year Choosing Colorado Community Media’s South Metro Athletes of the Year was a combined effort. Area coaches were asked for their thoughts, and their input was weighed heavily when CCM’s sports staff made the final selection for each sport.

EligiblE athlEtEs come from all the high schools in Douglas County, the high schools in the Littleton Public Schools District and from Cherry Creek High School.

GIRLS BASKETBALL PREVIEW

Girls hoops becomes a 3-for-all Teams put more emphasis on shooting from outside arc

GIRLS BASKETBALL PLAYERS TO WATCH

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com It was at first labeled a gimmick, but the 3-point shot became an equalizer in basketball that more and more teams are using as an every-game strategy.

Mountain Vista’s girls are one of those teams that rely on the 3-pointer.

“That’s what we do, we want to shoot 3s,” said Golden Eagles coach Mike Willahan. “We shot 600 to 700 of them last year.

We made 160, which was eighth all-time in the state.

“Girls have become better shooters.

They would rather shoot from 19-9 rather than a 17-18 foot mid-range jumper. If you shoot 33 percent behind the arc, it’s just as good as shooting 50 percent.”

Willahan is starting his second season as Mountain Vista coach and came from a D’Evelyn program that holds the Colorado high for the most 3-pointers made in a season.

The Jaguars made 198 treys in 2008-09, 200 in 2012-13 and 201 during the 2009-10 season.

“I brought a little bit of that here,” admitted Willahan. “Our goal is to have five players on the court at all times that can shoot the 3. We want to get 3-pointers or layups. If we can do that, we can create mismatches. We can make their shot blocker/ big girl come out to play defense on the perimeter. We don’t have a traditional big girl.

“We want to get up the court and if we get a good look at a 3, we’re going to take it. Our girls are basically trained that if they are open from 3-point land, they had better fire. I pull more girls out for not shooting than taking a shot. That has kind of always

Rock Canyon’s Lexy Thorderson is the top returning Continental League 3-point shooter. Photo by Jim Benton been our philosophy and will probably always be our philosophy unless we get some 7-foot girl in here.”

Last season, ThunderRidge made 6.5 3-point shots a game and Mountain Vista made 6.4. Chaparral and Arapahoe each made 4.8 3-pointers a game.

Highlands Ranch, which advanced to the Class 5A state championship game before losing to Regis Jesuit, connected on 3.1 shots per game from beyond the arc.

“Some teams shoot the 3 a lot, some teams kind of live by it, but not us,” said Falcons coach Caryn Jarocki, who is the state’s all-time winningest girls basketball coach. “We’ll shoot it, but it’s not the primary focus of our offense. We don’t have any set plays that we run to get the 3, but there are parts of all of our plays that the shot is sometime available.”

“The 3-pointer is not something I build my offense around but it is fantastic when you have somebody that can knock down a 3-pointer,” she said.

“What a great dynamic it adds to your offense. I’m not an extremist that we are only shooting 3s out there. It is a definite built-in option in our offense.

“It’s not something that we are saying that we are only going to shoot 3s. We’re saying what is the defense giving us? If they are going to leave it open or if they are going to sit in the zone, we’re going to be able to hit some.”

Thorderson is a player who can take advantage of what is given.

“Lexy is such a threat from the inside which makes her such a deadly 3-point shooter too,” said Mudd. “You have to respect her inside but she can step outside and knock down a 3. To have that versatility is what makes her such a good 3-point shooter.”

Thorderson, 6-foot-1, made 55 and hit 40 percent of her 3-point attempts last season. She averaged 16.1 points a game.

“The 3-pointer is my go-to,” said Thorderson. “If they are guarding me, I like to drive to get around them but I like shooting 3s. I started shooting 3s in the fourth or fifth grade, just practicing them. I practice 3s a lot, probably more than 14- or 15-footers.”

Several other players who successfully fired away from behind the 3-point line last season include Mountain Vista’s Chelsea Pearson, teammate Maddie Whetstone, Taylor Rusk of ThunderRidge, Amy Schmelzer of Castle View and Arapahoe’s Jennah Knafelc.

Pearson made 51 treys, Whetstone and Rusk 38, Schmelzer 31 and Knafelc 18.

“I really enjoy shooting 3s,” said Pearson. “It’s fun to get out, make them and help the team out.”

their Highlands Ranch school.

“It (the Cherokee Trail game) will really help us against Fairview,” said senior linebacker David Corral. “We look forward every year to go play at Sports Authority Field and we’ve worked real hard. We definitely deserve it and we will be ready.”

Defensive end Nick Rigali, a 255-pound senior, cited preparation and hard work for the Eagles’ success.

“I have to give credit to our coaching staff and our off-season program for helping us get better this season,” said Rigali. “That’s why we get to state championships. It’s the biggest game out there. I’m excited. It’s going to be a challenge but we’re going to be prepared.”

Standout senior running back Christian McCaffrey, who is bound for Stanford next season, claims the Eagles like to look at the title contest as just another game.

“From the first game of the season, we look at every single game as another game of football,” he said. “Fairview has a fantastic football team.”

According to the playoff seed-

ing by the CHSAA, Valor will be an underdog in the title game. Fairview is top-seeded and the Eagles are seeded No. 2.

“We know we will have our work cut out for us with Fairview,” said Sherman. “They are the No. 1 seed for a reason. Fairview is a very, very good team. It will be different for our guys to go into a game as an underdog but at the end of the day there’s going to be 22 high school young men on the field and we will see which ones make better plays.”

The game will feature two high-scoring teams with highly touted players.

Valor averages 46.3 points a game compared to 45 for the Knights. Fairview’s defense has forced 37 turnovers and the Eagles 27.

Fairview likes to throw the football, averaging 315.5 passing yards per game. The Knights average 133.3 yards a game on the ground. Valor rushes for 246.6 yards and adds 155.6 average passing yards a game.

Eagles quarterback A.J. Cecil has thrown for 1,974 yards and 29 touchdowns while McCaffrey does a little bit of everything, including playing some defense, for Valor.

McCaffrey has rushed for 1,729 yards and 25 touchdowns. He averages 11.92 yards per carry. The

6-foot, 195-pounder has caught 34 passes for 629 yards (18.5 yards per catch) and 14 touchdowns.

He averages 217.3 all-purpose yards per game.

In his career, McCaffrey has 137 touchdowns, which ranks second in the CHSAA all-classification record book and first for 11-man players. He has scored 824 points, which is also second in the all-classification records.

Middle linebacker Justin Falls is the ringleader of the Eagles defense with 97 tackles followed

by Corral with 60 and Luke Challenger with 53 total tackles. Rigali leads the team with six sacks.

Fairview counters Valor’s gaudy statistics with some impressive ones of their own.

Senior quarterback Anders Hill has completed 261 of 383 for 3,659 yards and 35 touchdowns.

His completions rank second alltime for a single season, attempts and yards third.

Sam Martin is Hill’s primary target and he has 101 catches for a state record 1,719 yards and 15 TDs. One more reception will tie the mark for the most in a single season. Cameron Frazier has grabbed 67 passes for 927 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Junior Jason Harvey is Fairview’s top rusher with 873 yards and five scores on 152 carries.

Linebacker Daniel Hoskins

Valor running back Christian McCaffrey (5) breaks through the line as multiple Cherokee Trail defenders pursue in Valor’s win Nov. 23. Photo by Paul DiSalvo has 97 total tackles to lead the Knights’ defense, while Johnny Feauto has six of Fairview’s 18 interceptions this season.

In the victory over Cherokee Trail Nov. 23, McCaffrey rushed for 229 yards on 28 carries and scored three touchdowns. He caught six passes for 39 yards and finished with 318 all-purpose yards. His fourth touchdown of the game on the late interception swelled his Colorado touchdown record to 137 and 824 points.

“We knew it would be a tough game,” said McCaffrey. “They had so much talent with so much physicality. We knew it was going

to be a dogfight. We got out there and executed. It was fun. I got to play a little defense and our offensive line comes out and gets after it.”

Cecil passed for 77 yards with two interceptions and ran for 83 yards and a touchdown. Corral and defensive end Nick Rigali each had 11 tackles to pace the Eagles’ defense.

“A.J. was able to make plays in the run game,” said Sherman.

“We got to the point where you have a kid like Christian and a quarterback like A.J. and you have to let those guys play behind our really strong offensive line.”
