In one event hosted by the Castle Rock Moms Social Group, organizer Inger Hiller planned an outing for the group to Castle Rock’s escape room.

Group for mothers provides support, social outings Castle Rock woman seeks to bring local moms together

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The organizer behind a Castle Rock hiking group that took off in 2016 is back at it in 2018, this time organizing a group for the sole purpose of providing busy mothers an opportunity to get out on the town.

Inger Hiller started her group, Castle Rock Hikes!, in October 2016 to offer free and easy-to-moderate hikes to the local community. Members were often new to Colorado and looking to build new relationships in town, she said.

Then last year, Hiller said she saw need for another type of group — one to provide mothers of any age a network of other moms, and weekly social outings.

In November, Hiller organized “Castle Rock Moms Social Group.” Both her groups are run through the social media site Meetup.

Castle Rock Moms Social Group is open to mothers of any age, including

grandmothers, and has members with children as young as infants or old enough that they’ve left the house. The group plans events on the weekends and weekdays, during the evenings and during the daytime. Some events are just for the women to get together and socialize, and others allow members to bring their children.

It’s all in an effort to accommodate each woman and her circumstances, Hiller said.

“I jumped right in because she’s so good at planning events,” said Gretchen Marquez, who met Hiller after participating in the hiking group. So far, Marquez has attended get-togethers for drinks and game nights, which connected her with other mothers in town.

The opportunity to meet more people was what first attracted Barbara Brammeier, a mother and grandmother who moved to Sedalia two years ago. Being retired and new to town made it hard to meet new people, she said. Through this group, she ended up meeting a woman who is not only a mother she can relate to, Brammeier said, but also a neighbor.

AL WILLIAMS

Castle Rock shop owner moved to U.S. from Australia Born and raised in Australia I came over here in 2000 — up until 2000 I had never been out of Australia. Originally, I came over for college reasons. I was studying business and tourism and I decided to finish that here. I had to go back at the end of my visa, but I came back a year later and stayed and got a green card and eventually became a citizen.

Owning a ‘mom and pop’ We’ve had our business, Heygidday, at 703 Wilcox St., operating about 15 years. We were an online business for a long time but about two years ago added retail. We’re primarily an embroidery and engraving business. We can embroider motorcycle patches, military patches, shirts and hats and that sort of thing. Anything metal, we can engrave.

We’re part of the chamber locally and we’re actively seeking

community involvement, whereas a couple years ago we didn’t do any of that. We were totally underground and totally online. More than three quarters of all of our business is still online. We ship to 20 countries every day. We have a lot of shipping operations but we’re still pretty mom-and-pop.

A love for motorcycles We’re active riders. We have a Harley, but we’re also open seven days a week, so we don’t ride as much as we’d like to. But we’re really active and sort of really actively involved in motorcyclerelated activities and events.

Visiting home My wife and I are going to go to Australia this year for the first time in 15 years. It’s really hard to fit it around our business. I’ve got no family here at all. I’ve got grandchildren I’ve never seen.

My mantra There’s a big Australian saying: It’s just life, be in it. It’s a big Australian campaign which fights against laziness, that sort of thing.

Decision expected in April or May on whether to bring measures to voters in November

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Built in 1962, Douglas County High School needs more than $17 million worth of capital repairs, according to Principal Tony Kappas.

The original plumping needs maintenance, pipes are rusting — some burst over Christmas break — the carpet is 30 years old, there are heating issues, the frames of windows are wearing. This affects the students, as well as staff, said Kappas.

“The faculty is dissatisfied. If things don’t get better, they will have to start looking somewhere else,” he said.

“That breaks my heart because again it affects the students. The quality of education dips when you lose great teachers.”

The high school in Castle Rock isn’t alone — many of the Douglas County School District’s buildings are in need of repairs. But the district lacks funding.

To address the issue, the board of education will explore a possible tax measure aimed at generating more money to address critical needs across the district, including teacher retention, school programming and building repairs. The board is expected to make a final decision in the spring on whether to put a tax measure on the November ballot.

“We are out of options, quite honestly,” said David Ray, school board president. “I think if we don’t pass (a tax measure), we are looking at significant cuts that will truly, unfortunately impact our classrooms.”

Ray pointed out that although Douglas County is one of the wealthiest counties in Colorado, with high home values, property taxes go to the state, which then redistributes the money evenly across all school districts.

“That is why school districts go to these local voters,” Ray said. “A (mill levy override) stays here in the community.”

District needs The last time Douglas County passed a local bond or mill levy override — often referred to as an MLO — was in 2006. Residents voted down a bond and mill levy override in 2008 and 2011.

Other area districts, including Littleton, Jefferson County and Cherry Creek, have seen measures pass in more recent years. The increase in funding helps those districts pay teachers more than Douglas County: Jeffco’s average teacher pay for the 2016-17 school year was $55,435, according to the Colorado Department of Education. Cherry Creek’s was

Littleton’s was $64,917. Douglas County’s was $52,044.

Ray calls the teacher compensation issue “horrendous.”

“Teachers are able to go across County Line and be paid $10,000 or $15,000 more” a year, he said. “There is a gap in teacher pay. A lot of teachers are hanging in there because they value Douglas County.”

Another issue facing the district is capital needs. According to its master capital plan, the district needs between $205 million and $269 million in repairs.

“Truly all of our schools are in need of repair,” interim Superintendent Erin Kane said. “To what degree varies by school.”

Measures defeated in past The community voted down a $200 million bond in 2011 that would have gone toward building three new schools in Castle Rock and Parker and a $29 million mill levy override that would have provided funding for instructional expenses and pay for performance for teachers.

In 2008, Douglas County rejected a $395 million bond and a $17 million mill levy override to support building new schools, improving student achievement, recruiting and retaining the workforce and improving the district’s technological advances in the face of expanded enrollment.

Jason Virdin of Douglas County Parents — a group formed in 2013 to inform the community on issues facing the school district — thinks a bond and MLO have the potential to pass either this year or next, as long as the community is informed of the district’s current financial situation.

Pit bull ban stirs emotional debate in Castle Rock SM

In Castle Rock, a pit bull is defined as “any dog that is an American pit bull terrier, American Staffordshire terrier, Staffordshire bull terrier, or any dog displaying the majority of physical traits of any one or more of the above breeds or any dog exhibiting those distinguishing characteristics which substantially conform to the standards established by the American Kennel Club or United Kennel Club for any of the above breeds.”

or

dog you can have.”

Dudley is advocating for diverting taxpayer money currently spent on enforcing breed-specific bans to promoting leash laws and funding programs that teach responsible dog ownership.

She’s also in favor of the behaviorbased system Castle Rock is proposing.

“I believe that every dog should be judged by its individual behavior,” she said. “Taking a dog that hasn’t done anything doesn’t increase public safety.”

Still, the proposal has met fierce opposition from those who support breed bans. Nearly a year ago, Red Hawk Townhomes resident Michael Forti confronted the town about a neighbor’s pit bull, angered over the dog’s presence and the town’s slow-going in removing it.

Castle Rock Police Chief Jack Cauley said then that authorities normally allow dog owners time to relocate a pit bull. Most violators say they were unaware of the town’s ban.

When the Red Hawk Townhomes dog owner failed to remove his animal, officers cited him. It was then officers learned the dog was an emotionalsupport animal.

The case was moved to the municipal court and town legal staff began researching precedent for such a scenario, but the situation became one more reason the town said it was reviewing its animal code and the breed-specific ban.

Forti says as a victim of a pit bull attack, the issue is personal. He can still recall how, more than 10 years ago, he was at work as a paint contractor in an Aurora townhome community

Drive began in 2017 In January 2017, Castle Rock resident Jen Dudley spearheaded a campaign dubbed “End Castle Rock BSL” in support of repealing the ban.

“I’m totally against breed bans.

They’re a violation of personal property rights and responsible dog owners,” she said. “The government has no right to come into your home and tell you what kind of domesticated

The term “pit bull” does not refer to one breed, but rather comprises several breeds.

Breeds often associated with pit bulls include the American Staffordshire terrier, the Staffordshire bull terrier and the American pit bull terrier. The first two are recognized as a breed by the American Kenna Club, but the American pit bull terrier is not — though it is recognized by the United Kennel Club.

CALM AFTER THE STORM

ia

At an open house in Castle Rock last spring, residents filed into town hall to offer comment on the town’s animal code. Issues ranged from backyard chickens to pet licensing.

One issue, however, came to the forefront of discussion. The town was floating an idea to repeal its breedspecific dog ban, which prohibits pit bulls, and replace it with a system regulating a dog’s behavior, not breed.

Castle Rock’s ban on pit bulls was put into place in 1992, a few years after Denver instated its ban following the death of a 3-year-old in a pit bull attack.

Staff is now officially recommending Castle Rock repeal the breed ban, saying it’s difficult and costly to enforce. There’s no date set for town council to review that recommendation, but already, debate is swirling on the issue.

Under the proposed system, dogs that bite people or domestic animals would be classified in one of two categories — “potentially dangerous” or “dangerous” — based on the severity of the victim’s injuries.

The Town of Castle Rock declined to comment on the proposal, but documents and information presented at open houses show officials tout the behavior-based system allows officials to handle incidents on a case-by-case basis, using the two categories and individual circumstances around an event to make decisions.

They also argue breed-specific bans are difficult to enforce.

Determining if a dog falls under a banned breed requires authorities to visually inspect the dog and measure 27 different attributes, such as height, weight, eye shape, bite, neck length and gait.

“A dog may look like a dog subject to a breed ban, but not have the DNA of a banned breed,” reads town documents. “Or, a dog may not look like one subject to the breed ban, but might have the DNA of a banned breed. This is particularly true where a dog is not purebred.”

The documents say it’s unknown how many pit bulls may live in town.

Castle Rock first adopted its pit bull ban in 1992. Among nearby communities, Denver, Aurora and Lone Tree have also adopted breed-specific bans. Parker and unincorporated Douglas County do not have breedspecific bans.

Students fund wish of young cancer patient Make-A-Wish week assembly celebrates 5-year-old boy

Caleb Amaral, a 5-year-old battling T-cell leukemia, meets Batman at Douglas County High School’s annual Make-aWish assembly on Jan. 29.

The school and its feeder schools raised $47,000, which fi will grant the T wishes of seven e children with fi life-threatening i w illnesses.

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Caleb Amaral is 5 years old and battling a type of blood cancer. Like other young boys, Amaral loves superheroes. His wish is to go on a Disney Marvel cruise.

On Jan. 29, thanks to students and staff of Douglas County High School and surrounding feeder schools, Amaral’s wish came true. Over MakeA-Wish week, students raised $47,000, which will pay for the wishes of seven children who are fighting life-threatening illnesses. Schools in Douglas County participate in the fundraising week once a year.

“Every year I am amazed by the amount of creativity, passion and effort that goes into planning and hosting Wish Week at Douglas County High School,” said Lauren Beede, director of community development at Make-A-Wish Colorado. “It is incredible to see the entire community come together to help grant wishes for kids, like Caleb, who are battling critical illnesses.”

Joined by Castle Rock police officers, SWAT members, Spiderman and Batman, Amaral entered the gymnasium of Douglas County High School riding a miniature car and wearing a Spiderman costume. Castle Rock police Chief Jack Cauley greeted Amaral and told the young boy that he would forever be an honorary police officer of the department.

The energy in the gymnasium was overwhelming. Students and teachers from Douglas County High School and its feeder schools — which include

m s c South Ridge Elementary, Castle Rock Elementary and several others in the area — cheered, yelled and clapped for Amaral. Many wore blue shirts with a Superman logo front and center. A giant yellow “C,” for Caleb, replaced the traditional “S.” Tiana Tinari, a senior at Douglas County High School, said the hard work that went into planning the assembly was worth it because of how much fun Amaral was having.

“I thought it was the best assembly we’ve ever had,” Tinari said.

Make-A-Wish week embodies compassion, empathy and a sense of community, said interim Superintendent Erin Kane.

“It’s a great way for students to see past their own lives,” said Kane. “You can feel the love.”

People with disabilities have options for fitness Facilities aim to improve health of those who face exclusion

OBESITY AND DISABILITIES

BY TABATHA STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The energy at Pure Barre fitness was running high.

Thumping music, grunts of exertion and the smell of sweat filled the air as fitness specialist Briget Russomanno led the workout class.

“You can do it,” she said to the class. “Just one more set, let’s keep going!”

Groans of protest were mixed with smiles of joy, as she eventually wrapped up the class with a cool-down session.

“Wow. This is my new place.

I’m coming here again,” said Casey Gunning, 34, who has Down syndrome and attended the exercise class at 5375 Landmark Place in Greenwood Village for the first time. . Every client in the class had a disability of some sort, some mental and some physical. Pure Barre is one of the few places in the Denver metro area that offers workout classes for people with disabilities. Owners Briget and Scott Russomanno launched Barre Stars in early 2018 to help combat adult obesity.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 36 percent of adults with disabilities are obese, versus 23 percent of adults without disabilities. Obesity can lead to various other health issues, including diabetes and heart disease.

The National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability says that the 50 million-plus Americans with disabilities, who are at greater risk for developing health problems associated with a sedentary lifestyle, are getting even less physical activity because of the numerous barriers they face in becoming physically active.

“For many, they don’t know how or where to exercise,” said Kelly Bonner, an inclusion specialist with NCHPD. “Marketing material is not focused on this minority group, and to be honest, many fitness centers aren’t equipped to work with these individuals so they don’t know where to go that can create a plan that is appropriate for them.”

The CDC also recommends that people with disabilities get regular physical activity.

But historically, there have been few facilities to meet their

Casey Gunning, 34, feels the burn as she works out at Pure Barre Greenwood Village.

TABATHA STEWART needs, as well as various other factors that prevent healthy activity.

“So few programs exist that offer safe and effective fitness programming in a way that educates and adapts to the specific needs of these individuals,” said Scott Russomanno.

“Parents and caretakers are left to face this challenge alone without a community equipped to serve the health and fitness needs of their children.”

Russomanno said attitude plays a big part in a successful fitness plan, and that people with special needs are often told they can’t do certain things.

“They’re either told they can’t, or assume they can’t be active,” he said. “The truth is, everyone can do a little something that’s good for them, and we are here to help them achieve what they can.”

Trevor Wicken and his wife Misty, owners of RISE Movement Solutions in Englewood, have spent more than 10 years helping people stay physically active after becoming disabled or being diagnosed with a life-long condition, such as multiple sclerosis. According to Wicken, many people who are diagnosed with a disorder or receive an injury are prescribed a period of physical therapy that is helpful, but doesn’t foster an attitude of staying healthy after receiving a diagnosis. A regular fitness plan that fits into the new “normal” of their lives is seldom addressed by physicians.

“A lot of times when they come to us, they’ve been told that nothing else can be done,” said Trevor Wicken, who began the medical fitness training practice in 2004, and started the MS gym, an online Facebook page that has gained 11,000 followers in less than a year.

Wicken said his goal is to bridge the gap between medical and fitness needs, and figure out the next steps after physical therapy. He works with clients with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, strokes, osteoarthritis and brain injuries, and said attitude and accessibility are two barriers to fitness for those who have a disability or an injury.

“General fitness plans don’t

• Obesity rates for adults with disabilities are approximately 57 percent higher than among adults without disabilities, which means about 36 percent of adults with disabilities are obese, compared with 23 percent of adults without disabilities.

• In children with disabilities, obesity rates are approximately 38 percent higher than for children without disabilities, or 22 percent of children with disabilities are obese, compared to 16 percent of children without disabilities.

Training sessions, such as those Wicken offers, are not always covered by insurance and are seldom promoted by health-care professionals.

For those who attended the class at Pure Barre, getting physical was not only good for them, but they had a good time doing it.

Dana Stehno, of Englewood, brought her 17-yearold son Luke to the workout class, and said it was a great experience and she hopes he will continue to attend.

“He never really wants to do anything like this. He’s apprehensive and not sure he can do what everybody else does,” Stehno said.

“This is a non-intimidating environment and we’ll be back. He’s definitely going to walk out of here with a smile on his face.”

Thousands of mourners line streets, pack Lafayette church to honor fallen deputy

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Adams County deputies were joined by law enforcement officers from across the state and thousands of wellwishers Feb. 2 to say goodbye to Sheriff ’s Deputy Heath Gumm, a man described as a witty prankster with a promising career in law enforcement.

“One of the things that we are responsible for as police officers is to be able to combine the care and compassion of the guardian mindset with the warrior mindset,” Adams County Sheriff Michael McIntosh said to a huge crowd gathered for Gumm’s memorial service in Lafayette’s Flatirons Community Church.

“I can’t think of somebody that taught us to do that better than Heath.”

McIntosh was one of six current and former Adams County Sheriffs Office staff members to eulogize Gumm, 31, who was shot and killed by a suspect Jan. 24 in a backyard near the 8700 block of Edison Street in unincorporated Adams County.

They recalled his playful nature, his guidance for new deputies, his seriousness for the job and his love for his wife, Natasha.

Law enforcement, fire and emergency response personnel from around Colorado attended the service in the 4,600-seat church. The entire first floor of the venue was nearly filled and the balcony nearly halffilled.

Gumm’s father, former West Metro Firefighter Jim Gumm, said he was proud to have such an honest, forthright son. Thousands of emergency vehicles from across Colorado came, filling the event parking lot. They were joined by five charter buses full of Adams County employees who attended the service “We always tried to instill in you the values of honesty, integrity, strength and compassion,” the elder Gumm

said. “But somewhere along the way, the student became the teacher. You soared high above us in all those aspects in life and you’ve always made us so proud.”

He also read letters from Gumm’s wife and the fallen deputy’s mother, Becky. Gumm earned a black belt in taekwondo growing up, loved cherry sour ball candy, popcorn, the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and other cartoon heroes, as well as real-life ones.

by being cute and funny,” his father said. “He loved animals, loved hiding things in his grandmother’s hair without her knowing, teasing his sister at every turn and practicing ‘takedowns’ on his mom.”

Gumm joined the Adams County Sheriffs Office in 2012, transferring in from the Cripple Creek Police Department. He started in the Adams County Detention Facility but transferred into the patrol division in 2013. Friend and fellow patrol Deputy Lonn Trail said he wasn’t finished.

“He was looking forward later this year to promoting to senior deputy and when he made senior deputy, he had a plan,” Trail said. “He wanted to test for detective, and he told me he wanted to be part of the bomb squad because a lot of his friends, standing behind me today, had already transferred in.”

Trail said he’d known Gumm for five years and counted him as one of his best friends. Trail, a member of the Adams County K9 unit, said he once confided in Gumm, telling him the command he used to make his dog Lex bark — loudly.

From then on, Gumm never missed an opportunity to command the dog to bark right in Trail’s ear, usually while they were in parked in their patrol cars waiting for a call for service.

“He never failed. When we were done with our conversation and I had my window down, Heath would get Lex’s attention, work in the bark command and make him go crazy,” Trail said. “Then, he’d laugh and roll up his window so he didn’t have to hear it.”

Another friend, Deputy Cole

Cockrum, said he looked to Gumm for guidance.

“He had an amazing sense of humor, was easygoing and always willing to help,” Cockrum said.

He recalled that once, soon after Cockrum had joined the Adams County office, he and Gumm found themselves chasing someone in the dark. Cockrum lost sight of both Gumm and the man he was chasing but did find Gumm’s flashlight and it was pointing directly to where Gumm had gone.

Cockrum said he was amazed and impressed that Gumm had left the flashlight as a clue to where he had gone.

“I said to myself, this cop is so squared away he is leaving me breadcrumbs,” Cockrum said.

He didn’t tell Gumm how impressed he was until days later.

“He told me wasn’t leaving breadcrumbs,” Cockrum said.

“He said he was running so hard he tripped over himself, fell to the ground and his entire duty belt exploded. He said that what I didn’t see was the radio and pistol magazines that were about five feet away from where the flashlight was.” r Deputy Casey Overton, l Gumm’s sergeant, said he a looked at Gumm as a leader among patrol deputies. c “I was able to put anyone fi with him in any district because he was able to work l with anyone,” Overton said.

“Gumm would take people un- a der his wing to show them the u way things should be done.” m s McIntosh said he spent plenty of time working with a his office’s detective in the days after Gumm’s shooting t h and he was told that Gumm had set his sights on being a w c detective.

“We just knew what kind of w s detective Heath would have m been,” McIntosh said.

So McIntosh said he would y give Gumm a posthumous y promotion to detective.

“When I have the honor of g giving you Heath’s badge, I will also give you an honorary a g detective badge,” McIntosh w said to Gumm’s family. “He will forever be in our hearts i and on our minds. He will for- f ever be with his shift and now, l also, he will be forever with you detectives that worked so “ e hard to make sure this case goes where it needs to go.”

“It’s wonderful,” she said. “Not even realizing you have a neighbor who’s looking for the same thing that you are.”

Mary Sieker, a mother of three adult children, said the group helped her find community after moving to town last year.

“Once they’re not at home, it’s not always easy to find other people who understand what’s going on, especially moving to a community with no kids,” she said. “It’s nice getting out. New adventures. New friends.”

Marquez, a self-employed mother of two, said finding a group like Hiller’s has been important to her as a mother, where life is often focused on taking care of children and family around work. The Castle Rock mom’s group, she said, offers an opportunity for mothers to spend time on themselves.

“It’s just so important to take care of yourself,” she said, “and to still have your own identity.”

Hiller said there are plenty of groups available to mothers, but many are strictly online forums or more geared toward younger women. She wanted an organization that would be inclusive and bring women together for face-to-face interaction on the local level.

“The gist of my group is,” she said, “to go out and meet in person, to give each other support.”

PIT BULL FROM PAGE 5

when a pit bull escaped its yard and attacked him. Bystanders were able to pull him away from the dog, but memory of the incident remains vivid.

“Then all of a sudden, I’m living at Red Hawk Townhomes,” he said, “and the same exact thing was happening, except no one got mauled.”

Forti explained in light of his own experience, he considers the breed “silent but deadly.” There was no warning before he was attacked, he said, and he fears allowing pit bulls into town would enable similar incidents to happen.

Forti asked: “Are we waiting for somebody to get mauled and somebody to get hurt?”

Dudley has a response to the victims of pit bull attacks.

“Anyone who is attacked by a dog is a victim,” she said.

But she also believes attacks are more often a result of irresponsible

February 8, 2018F ownership, something Forti also acknowledged, and not a dog’s breed.

From Forti’s perspective, however, irresponsible dog ownership paired with a breed capable of inflicting severe injury is a recipe for disaster, and good reason for a breed ban.

“There’s always going to be opposition, and that’s fine,” Dudley said. “I say to them, come to the open houses.

Talk to animal control.”

Comments pour in For those on either side of the debate, pit bull bans are often an emotional issue. Pro-ban and anti-ban groups are each armed with statistics and research they say proves their side of the issue.

The potential repeal of a breed ban in Castle Rock has also garnered widespread attention, making it difficult for town staff to sift through public comment it has received on the topic.

In a Dec. 5 memo, staff said more than 400 comments concerning the animal code have poured in online, through the mail and at open houses.

The majority focused on the breed-spe-

cific ban, but it was at times difficult to determine on which side commentators stood, and in some cases, whether they were town residents.

Results were further complicated, staff wrote, because the 128 comments in favor of lifting the ban could have been submitted by the same individual through more than one platform, as could the 30 comments in favor of

for the failure of the past two tax measures.

“A tax increase around a recession when families are struggling financially is never very favorable,” Virdin said. “In Douglas County, we have a financial crisis. State funding for education is inadequate and has been for quite a while. School districts have become dependent on bond and MLO. Unfortunately, DCSD hasn’t passed one since 2006.”

What’s next?

The issues surrounding public comment are one reason Castle Rock resident George Hager said he intends to petition for a special election, so the “divisive” matter can be decided by voters.

Hager was unhappy with mailers sent by the town of Castle Rock, which he said didn’t contain the words “dog” or “pit bull,” and didn’t adequately inform residents that lifting the breedspecific ban would mean allowing pit bulls into town.

As a father of three, Hager said he’s pro-ban but would respect the results of an election. He sees that as a better alternative than letting council consider the proposed two-tier system. In order to place issues on the ballot, citizens can petition or ask town council to refer the measure to the voters.

“I think it’s useless. If a dog has to attack or maul somebody in order to be considered dangerous, the damage is already done,” he said. “I’m not trying to sell, ‘Keep the ban.’ I’m trying to sell, ‘Let the people decide. Let the people vote.’ ”

Fiscal Oversight Committee will recommend three or four MLO options, which will include an amount, what the amount would go toward and the impact on taxpayers. The Long Range Planning will present on building needs and underutilized schools, which a bond would address.

A polling firm will then get feedback from stakeholders through focus groups, phone calls and surveys. Ray expects the board to make a final decision on whether or not to put a bond and MLO on the 2018 ballot by April or May. Within the next month or two, Ray foresees a campaign committee formed by a parent volunteer group starting to raise money and educate the community on the issue.

The school district is asking for help, Ray said.

“We aren’t just saying please give us a handout, we are saying we are in dire need,” he said. “Otherwise, we have no choice than to impact the quality of learning for kids, and that’s absolutely not what we want to do.”

With early start this season, flu hammers much of nation Some good news: Hospital stays and deaths from the flu among the elderly so far haven’t been as high as in some other recent flu seasons. However, hospitalization rates for people 50 to 64 — baby boomers, mostly — has been unusually high, CDC officials said in the report, which covers the week ending Jan. 20.

A New York pediatrician said her office has been busy but the kids with the flu haven’t been quite as sick as in the past.

“For most of them, their symptoms are milder,” said Dr. Tiffany Knipe.

This year’s flu shot targets the strains that are making Americans sick, mostly the H3N2 flu virus. But exactly how well it is working won’t be known until next month. It’s the same main bug from last winter, when the flu season wasn’t so bad. It’s not clear why this season — with the same bug — is worse, some experts said.

BY MIKE STOBBE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sick with the flu? You’ve got a lot of company.

The flu has continued to blanket the U.S., with only Hawaii being spared.

In late January, one in 15 doctor visits were for symptoms of the flu.

That’s the highest level since the swine flu pandemic in 2009. The government doesn’t track every flu case but comes up with estimates; one measure is how many people seek medical care for fever, cough, aches and other flu symptoms.

Flu is widespread, with 39 states reporting high traffic to doctors in late January, up from 32.

At this rate, by the end of the season somewhere around 34 million Americans will have gotten sick from the flu, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Jan. 26.

“That’s the kicker. This virus really doesn’t look that different from what we saw last year,” said Richard Webby, a flu researcher at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis.

It may be that many of the people getting sick this year managed to avoid infection last year. Or there may be some change in the virus that hasn’t been detected yet, said the CDC’s Dr. Dan Jernigan, in a call with reporters.

Based on patterns from past seasons, it’s likely the flu season will start to wane soon, experts say. There are some places, like California, where the season already seems to be easing, CDC officials said.

“If I was a betting man, I’d put money on it going down,” Webby said.

“But I’ve lost money on bets before.”

The season usually peaks in February, but this season started early and

took off in December.

Flu is a contagious respiratory illness. It can cause a miserable but relatively mild illness in many people, but more a more severe illness in others. Young children and the elderly are at greatest risk from flu and its complications. In a bad season, there are as many as 56,000 deaths connected to the flu.

In the U.S., annual flu shots are recommended for everyone age 6 months or older. Last season, about 47 percent of Americans got vaccinated, according to CDC figures.

Jennifer Manton didn’t get a flu shot and got sick about three weeks ago, hit by high fever and body aches.

She missed two days of work at a New York law firm, and felt bad for about 10 days.

“I had not had the flu since 1996,” said the 48-year-old Manton. “It’s been 22 years since I felt that badly.”

Capitol report: A look at what’s happening in the state Legislature

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Work season for the Colorado state Legislature began in the shadow of sexual-misconduct claims from last fall and amid continued exasperation over rising housing prices and traffic and transportation concerns.

In the weeks since the Jan. 10 kickoff of the regular session — the 120-day term when bills can be passed — some battles and points of agreement have taken shape.

Here’s a roundup of recent moves the Legislature has made:

Harassment policy to be reviewed The Legislature’s leadership chose an independent, third-party contractor on Jan. 24 to conduct a review of its workplace-harassment policy, which includes rules on sexual misconduct.

The top lawmakers, who are called as a group the Executive Committee of the Legislative Council, selected Denver-based Investigations Law Group to perform the review.

“We have contracted for a comprehensive cultural assessment as well as specific recommendations on workplace policy,” K.C. Becker, DBoulder, House majority leader, said in a news release.

Mandatory training for lawmakers on workplace harassment, an effort adopted by leadership in response to

recent complaints, were scheduled for Jan. 29, Feb. 2 and Feb. 16.

Other changes included hiring a human-resources professional to help handle HR issues, and conducting mandatory annual trainings on harassment prevention for legislators, full-time staff, aides and interns.

Such trainings were before only required for legislators every two years and for staff only when they’re hired.

The state Legislature’s executive committee is chaired by House Speaker Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, and includes Senate President Kevin Grantham, R-Cañon City; Becker; Senate Majority Leader Chris Holbert, R-Parker; Senate Minority Leader Lucia Guzman, D-Denver; and House Minority Leader Patrick Neville, R-Castle Rock.

A boost from Trump?

State Rep. Faith Winter, D-Westminster, recognized in a news release President Donald Trump’s apparent show of support for paid family leave in his State of the Union address.

“We disagree on so many other things, but I’m glad President Trump came out (in the speech) in support of paid family leave,” Winter said. “I challenge Winter Colorado Republicans to follow the president’s lead and put families first and support House Bill

The bill to create a family medicalleave insurance program in Colorado is a high priority — Duran made it the first bill to be introduced this session.

“My bill creates an insurance pool to provide coverage for all Coloradans to care for a dying parent or a newborn, or to get chemotherapy or treatment of other serious medical conditions,” Winter said in the news release.

Each employee in Colorado would pay a premium that must not initially exceed 0.99 percent — less than 1 percent — of their yearly wages to fund the program if the bill passes, according to the Legislature website.

House Bill 181001 was scheduled for its first hearing Feb. 6 in the House Business Affairs and Labor Committee, a necessary step before it faces debate on the House floor.

would provide almost double the revenue without forcing cuts, Democrats said in the release. Grantham and Duran backed that bill, but it failed.

As of Jan. 23, SB 18-001 was scheduled to move to the Senate Finance Committee for consideration.

Affordable housing measure stopped State House Republicans and some Democrats killed a bill on Jan. 31 that would have allowed Coloradans to vote on whether to enact a 25 cent tax on plastic bags used at large grocery and other commercial stores to raise money to subsidize affordable housing in the state.

Each transaction in which a plastic bag is used would have been charged 25 cents under the policy, regardless of how many — it wouldn’t have been a per-bag tax.

The 19th was passed June 4, 1919, and ratified Aug. 18, 1920.

The Declaration of Independence was ratified 144 years earlier. In the second paragraph, it says, “All men are created equal.” Lovely thought, but not quite.

It wasn’t until 1870, when the 15th Amendment came along, that all men were given the right to vote.

Emily Davison was run over by a horse named Anmer.

Remember the Virginia Slims cigarette ad that boasted, “You’ve come a long way, baby”? That campaign started in 1968.

The implication was women had come a long way.

Women — and men — still have a long way to go.

There will be books and movies and documentaries and courses that focus on what has happened over the past year about women’s rights, past treatment, and subjugation, and in the process, many careers will be affected, and effectively and permanently tarnished or ended.

What is Kevin Spacey going to do now? Or Matt Lauer? Will we let either one of them back indoors?

Davison sustained her injuries after walking — intentionally — onto a race track.

Why have men acted so loutishly for centuries? The answer to that will be on the syllabus in some of the courses I referred to.

I think the professor will have to go back to cavemen and cavewomen.

I have never been compromised because of my gender. That’s not entirely true, but the stories aren’t worth telling. A student flirting for a better grade isn’t the same as being cornered by a director.

Yes, I may have missed out on some teaching opportunities when schools were opening their eyes about gender and race imbalances in most departments. It didn’t slow me down very much.

I am not Dr. Feelgood. I don’t know what the answer is, or what the answers are.

Many men will go on doing what they do no matter how many marches, parades, articles, lectures, workshops SEE SMITH, P16

Looking for and finding simplicity is the fastest pathway to success

I LETTER TO THE EDITOR Bill would bring a boost As the president of the Cutthroat Chapter of Trout Unlimited in Littleton, I strongly support the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Future Generations Act (SB18-143), a bill that will provide critical resources for public lands and wildlife in Colorado.

In the recent State of the Rockies Poll, 96 percent of Colorado respondents indicated that a strong economy is driven by outdoor recreation, and 87 percent said it was a significant advantage over other states when it comes to attracting a qualified workforce and business investment. In 2017, outdoor recre-

ation contributed over $34 billion to the Colorado economy. We must make sure that Colorado continues to invest in this major economic driver.

Unfortunately, CPW has been prevented from raising fees since 2006, resulting in major cuts to staff and over $40 million from their wildlife budget. These financial decisions create significant impacts on hunters, anglers and all outdoor recreationists in Colorado. Since the CPW is funded primarily through user fees, they do not pose a tax burden on our communities.

The CPW Future Generations Act will restore funding to the depart-

ment by enabling CPW to increase resident licenses (by only $8) and invest in the future of our public resources. Additional funds will eliminate deficit spending, increase hunting and fishing opportunities, and protect critical wildlife habitat.

Learn more about the bill at www. cpw.state.co.us.

This common-sense initiative is an investment in the future of our public lands and our state’s economy. Contact your state legislators indicating your support for this important legislation.

Allen Adinoff President of Cutthroat Chapter Trout Unlimited

don’t know about you, but there have been so many times, too many times, where I have done things the hard way.

Looking back, I can clearly see the path that would have been much simpler, so much easier, and so much more effective.

Not only that, I could have accomplished everything better and even faster had I just accepted the guidance and assistance of others.

You already know the WINNING phrase don’t you? “Keep it Simple Stupid.” I like what WORDS one of our community readers, Robin, shared in an email regarding her one word for the year. Her word was K.I.S.S. She cleaned up the acronym by changing the phrase to, “Keep it Simply Simple.” An awesome and elegant change that is so easy but so hard to grasp.

Michael Norton “There must be a harder way to do this.” Have you ever, I mean ever, found yourself saying that?

Me neither. It just doesn’t happen. And yet we all seem to try and make it harder on ourselves than it really has to be.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could find a way to keep things simple and still be successful?

Civil dialogue is needed on Colorado’s energy future

T

hey say you shouldn’t talk politics, religion or money in polite company. We disagree.

We believe that controversial issues deserve collaborative and innovative problem solving working to keep Colorado GUEST as one of the best places COLUMN to live. The Bighorn Energy Leadership Fellows spent eight days together this fall doing exactly that over three meals a day, presentations from 31 local and international experts, and one improv comedy show. We stayed polite and disagreed without being disagreeable.

We are Coloradans from across the political spectrum, hailing from around the state, ranging from college student to near retirement, and working in a variety of sectors. We are members of the 2017 cohort of Bighorn Leadership Program: Colorado’s

Energy Future. The Bighorn Leadership Program was founded in 2001 to ensure that Colorado has a deep bench of thoughtful individuals who will actively and constructively engage in the public policy arena both on the local and state levels.

Over the years, Bighorn Fellows delved into vexing policy topics, including health care, economic development and — this year — energy.

Specifically, exploring one of the most controversial issues facing Colorado today: How is Colorado going to continue its economic growth, satisfy a growing population, and yet provide energy in a safe, efficient, affordable and most environmentally and socially sustainable way possible?

Colorado leads the country in energy by numerous measures. Since the first oil well west of the Mississippi River drilled into Florence soil in 1860, our state has become one of the

top energy producers in the country while valuing our quality of life and environment. This didn’t happen by accident; it was the result of good policy enacted by the legislature, the voters, and the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC).

In 2004, Colorado voters passed the Renewable Energy Requirement Initiative, the first voter-led statewide initiative of its kind. As of 2016, Colorado was ranked 10th in installed solar generation and was the seventh largest wind producing state. We’ve since increased the standard three times, and the current target is 30 percent renewable by 2020 for investorowned utilities and 20 percent for cooperative utilities.

The renewable sector is not the only energy sector where Colorado is providing leadership. As the state’s population grows, natural gas drilling and exploration are bumping up against

urban and suburban residential areas.

Of course, Coloradans are concerned about this, and there has been significant progress in this area. In 2014, Colorado adopted rules for capturing methane and decreasing harmful carbon-based pollutants, rules that are now a national model not only in technical specifications but also in collaboration among environmental groups, the oil and gas industry, and regulators. Colorado’s work inspired other states to adopt similar methane standards.

We offer to be a resource for the continued leadership in Colorado’s energy future, for policymakers, companies leading the way, and our fellows Coloradans. Collectively, our group knows the science of solar panels, wind turbines and hydraulic fracturing equally as well as we know SEE ENERGY, P21

So how can we accelerate our success? We can accelerate our success when we can avoid the maze of complexity and instead jump on the road of simplicity. Easier said than done? Maybe, and then again maybe not. It really is our choice when we stop and think about it. We can choose to do things the way we have always done them because we don’t want to ask for help, or we are too proud to seek an easier or more simple and elegant solution. We can choose an attitude of openness to better ideas that can help us get done what we need to get done.

It really is like that old joke,

“Why did the chicken cross the road?” How many people have given up hours trying to come up with a more challenging or difficult reason? It just can’t be that simple, “To get to the other side.” Why do people climb mountains?

Because they are there. What roads do we need to cross right now in our own lives?

What mountains do we need to climb? We may be procrastinating or planning or looking for the most difficult path when the answer is right in front of us, simplicity.

When we meet with defeat, many times it is because we went down the path of overcomplication instead of avoiding the maze of complexity and jumping on the road of simplicity. We meet with defeat when we suffer from paralysis by analysis, over-

and angry rebukes ensue.

You cannot entirely get rid of ignorance.

Davison was a suffragette, but not here in America.

She fought for voting rights for women in the United Kingdom.

She tried a lot of things before walking onto the race track.

She went on hunger strikes, she was arrested nine times, she was forcefed on forty-nine occasions.

But it’s unlikely I would have heard of her if she hadn’t stepped it up quite

a bit, and left her position along the rail and walked onto the track during the 1913 Epsom Derby.

She was struck by King Edward V’s horse.

The declaration of full suffrage for women in England came in 1928.

My androgyny makes me wonder, over and over, about men, young men, and even boys, who perceive themselves, here and around the world, to be in control of the remote.

By the way, exactly why Davison walked on the track has never been determined.

The Denver metro area has been growing at an unparalleled rate over the last few years, and all those new people have a few things in common — one of those things is, they’ve all got to eat.

There’s an ever-expanding list of new, exciting restaurants to check out in the metro area (about 240 opened in 2017), and that’s in addition to an already deep bench of top-notch restaurants that longtime residents know about. Zagat recently awarded Denver the number 4 spot on its “Most Exciting Food Cities” As a way to both connect people with restaurants they’ve never tried before and spread the word about the depth and variety of the dining scene, Visit Denver created Denver Restaurant Week 14 years ago. And it’s become one of the most anticipated weeks of the year.

For years, the PostSecret blog was a way for people to anonymously share some of their darkest secrets and innermost thoughts in a creative way.

The idea caught on and grew to six books and a Smithsonian exhibition.

And now, its theatrical expression arrives in Lone Tree.

“PostSecret: The Show,” arrives at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 8, at the Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St. At times hopeful, shocking, and painful, the show is an immersive journey through the personal stories people keep to themselves.

Projected images, videos, three actors, and a guitarist guide the audience through the stories behind shared secrets. It’s a very interactive theatrical experience for anyone looking to examine their own hidden feelings.

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the album, both rappers, who have gone on to have fruitful solo careers, are reuniting and Black Star will be playing the Ogden Theatre, 935 E. Colfax Ave., at 9 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 10. Doors open at 8 p.m.

Anyone who loves rap, and wants to celebrate two of the most dynamic MCs in the genre, shouldn’t miss this concert. Go to www.ogdentheatre.com and score a ticket before it’s too late.

Carlos Fresquez art highlighted in gallery show on Santa Fe Drive Look back over decades offers sweeping view of change, insights

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Sangre Colorado: Carlos Fresquez Mid-Career Survey,” open through March 24 at Metropolitan State University’s Center for Visual Art, (a must-see for those interested in area art) is not only a portrait of a distinguished Denver artist and scholar, who brought Chicano culture into the classroom, but is also a picture of his art world during whirlwind decades of change, introspection, activism, experimentation and observation.

Influences in the more than 100 images (paintings, prints, drawings and three-dimensional images) reflect scenes from recent decades in America and Europe, from the artist’s early years in the barrio near St. Cajetan Church where Metro State now stands — and from more than two centuries of family heritage, including santeros and spiritual traditions.

The extensive exhibit records impressions through the explosive La Raza Chicano movement and intellectual explorations of 20th/21st-century national and international art trends.

Included in his symbolism: frequent referral to the Sacred Heart and Gua-

dalupe, mission churches, low riders, roses, skulls and skeletons, brightly costumed characters staged against blue Western skies and traditional Southwestern architecture — plus an occasional pop culture figure that may be inserted in the scene.

Curator/CVA Managing Director Cecily Cullen suggests that the title — translated to “blood” and “red” — plays with the colloquialism “red-blooded American,” referring to the family’s long history in the country. Sly political comment surfaces throughout the exhibit — political junkies will enjoy that aspect as well.

The visitor feels as though she has stepped into a sunny, swirling fiesta scene, filled with color — with the sound of Latino music supplied through imagination.

Then, there is a “Cubist Chollo,” per Picasso — a tough young character from a nearby street corner challenging the newcomer to his territory …

Fresquez has built numerous theater sets and the drapes that set off many paintings would seem to reflect that stage interest and sense of the dramatic.

Hispanic religious figures — santos, bultos and retablos, which are part of his family tradition — also frequently include draped fabrics. Brilliant color costumes traditional figures, with religious, literary and social references, as well as images of today’s city residents — sometimes in the same painting.

One gallery contains two walls of murals painted by Fresquez before the exhibit opened that includes a handsome historic royal couple — he with the heart in his hand, plus a dragon, birds and architectural features. The other wall depicts that same couple in the city today, with a train, car, telephone poles, Mickey Mouse and that heart released, bleeding …

The front window gallery presents the artist’s early work, as a student and beyond. Fresquez studied at Metro and received an MFA from CUBoulder, returning some years later to teach. From the start, international, neo-impressionist style, executed with solid painting technique, presents Chicano subjects, including two zoot-suit portraits of himself and his father. On a side wall the visitor must stop to explore “Para Mi Esposa,” a larger-thanlife-sized three-dimensional depiction of Freida Kahlo and Diego Rivera that spins off a famous earlier European work.

“Los Supersonicos,” a collective started with artist Frank Zamora in the late 1990s, resulted in works that include multi-layered paintings and a collection of bright banners with grommets in the unframed canvas.

They command one to look up — away from the walls filled with images large and small. (The name is a Spanish version of “The Jetsons.”)

Pop art influences tucked throughout include assorted Campbell soup-type cans of “Posole” per Andy Warhol and some playing around with American painter Robert Rauschen-

berg’s “Erased De Kooning.” Kids may have fun looking for them — or t for Day of the Dead skeletal figures. m In fact the whole visual effect should u delight even a toddler — or a skeptical t c teen!

A walk on back to the Extra Credit C Gallery presents a wall of works cre- a ated by past students, including south t metro area residents Laura Beacom, n b Centennial; Kellen Niemeier, Cenw tennial; Christine Gish, Highlands c Ranch; and David Reed, Highlands Ranch, according to the gallery (although there was a question about o a whether Reed’s large work could be t exhibited).

CVA has published a catalog of the f c exhibit, for sale at the front desk. o Additional views of the prolific Fresquez’s work will be exhibited at the Chicano Arts Council Gallery, 772 Santa Fe Drive, in a show called “One of Our Own,” with a book signing and reception from 6 to 8 p.m. on Feb. 16; at the neighboring Museo de las Americas, 861 Santa Fe Drive; and at the Arvada Center, concurrent with the CVA exhibition.

A Carlos Fresquez Artist Talk is scheduled at 5:30 p.m. March 7 at the CVA and a closing reception and poetry reading from 4 to 6 p.m. March 24. (Join Fresquez in a ceremonial repainting of the walls, erasing the temporary murals while reflecting on their content.)

The Young Artist Studio: Mural Painting is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. for ages 11-21 (open workshops).

“Cubist Cholo” by Carlos Fresquez stares at the visitor to “Sangre Colorado,” the CVA retrospective of Fresquez’ art.

going to be a different experience at each one.”

For restaurants that are participating, the week is an opportunity to showcase signature dishes and specialties.

“During Restaurant Week, we like to put our best culinary foot forward,” said Marvin Williams, general manager of Wheat Ridge’s Abrusci’s Fire and Wine Italian restaurant, which is offering meals at the $35 price point.

“We’re serving dishes we’re famous for, like our rigatoni and sausage, and less well-known items like our beef short ribs.”

According to information provided

by Bresler, the tiered structure allows more flexibility for both the diners and the restaurants — both in food options and financial value.

“When putting together our menu, we not only consider what’s popular,

evolving and complex issue within city halls, the capitol, boardrooms and neighborhoods, where ideas can be discussed in transparent and public settings. We can balance economic growth and provide energy in a safe, efficient, affordable and most environmentally and socially sustainable way. And yes, we, the undersigned are ready and willing to help achieve this vision.

but what’s the best value for our diners,” said Tim Carlson, general manager of the Village Tavern, located in Broomfield’s Flatiron Crossing Mall.

The Village Tavern is offering meals at the $35 price point. “We love being part of the community, and it’s a great chance to showcase not only our food, but the atmosphere of the Tavern.”

People looking for new restaurant recommendations can follow the Top Chef Trail, which features restaurants or chefs that have been featured on “Top Chef: Colorado,” like Tony Guard, Frank Bonanno and Gregory Gourdet.

But while Denver Restaurant Week is a chance to explore, many also use it to celebrate their favorite eateries.

“We’ve been here for more than 30 years, and we’ve seen Denver Restaurant Week become busier and busier as more restaurants start participating,” said Summer Cassidy, manager and server at Cherry Crest Seafood Restaurant and Market in Greenwood Village, which is offering meals at the $25 price point. “It’s been a great experience to be a part of.”

Nickless commented “you walk down the street and people smile back — you’re not in Boston. In the West, people need to support their neighbors … there’s an element of naturalism in Wyoming — nothing’s fake. Are we all who we are because of how we live?”

“There’s a tension between the myth of the West and reality,” Coel added.

Ramos said his first books were about a Chicano lawyer in Denver and “lately about Gus Coral, who was born on Denver’s north side. He was raised on the streets and stories reflect noir-darker aspects, people I know in LoHi, where I live.” Stevens, who commented that there are many woman hunters, writes about a resourceful female hunting guide, who knows her way around in the mountains and is a great puzzle-solver. “She could drink us all under the table.” Nickless’ character is a Marine veteran who “is already used to Western values.” She is a woman in a man’s world.

‘The West is about exteriors, not interiors.

You cannot escape the landscape — always there, always having an effect.’

Craig Johnson Author of the ‘Longmire’ series absolutely not to do is plant yourself in the seat of a chair. There are ideas everywhere. Open your mind and ideas will come in …” Stevens suggested “adding a personal note, start to tell stories, finish something and show it to someone else.” Wolf said “a writer’s organization helps. Network.

There’s an appeal to closing yourself off, but you can’t do that.” Nickless said “write the best book you can, then shove through an open door.”

Ramos observed “a good writer is a good reader — read all kinds of stuff, steal from other good writers — in a good kind of way. Learn from others.”

Coel laughed. “It sort of ruins reading pleasure-one is always ready to see how it’s done …”

What about research?

Coel warned against getting carried away, as you read what’s on the page, mark if there’s something missing and follow up. Stevens says he functions like the old reporter he once was when out with wildlife, police officers, etc., then looks for what else needs to be filled in.

Johnson began his segment of the program by celebrating the “Western

resurgence in popular culture.” He has written 13 novels and two novellas, which have been adapted for the TV series. “When in my 20s, I fell in love with Ucross, Wyoming,” he said.

“I set out to write about a sheriff in the least-populated county in the leastpopulated state. You really depend on your neighbors. The Western culture means bonding together.” Audience members asked how it is to see your books on television. “It’s like having a house plan and going down one morning and it starts talking to you!”

Usually, Hollywood wants to get rid of authors as soon as possible, but producers kept Johnson in the loop, including actors’ auditions for the parts in the series.

They shot the first part in a courthouse in Las Vegas, New Mexico, then built a reproduction for the subsequent films.

“The West is about exteriors, not interiors,” he said. “You cannot escape the landscape — always there, always having an effect.”

More than 500 happy readers went home with new ideas for winter entertainment.

SPORTS

Divers navigate twists and turns Athletes control their bodies, use their heads in unique ways

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Most high schools and colleges combine swimming and diving into one sport, and they are part of the same meets.

But in reality, the two are more different than the same.

“Truly, the only thing we have in common with swimmers is chlorinated water,” Arapahoe dive coach Jeff Smith said. “We are entirely separate sports.”

Swimmers perform certain strokes and the athlete with the fastest time is the winner. Divers, meanwhile, have a set of dives with degrees of difficulty and are awarded scores by judges.

“Swimmers have more patience,” said Susan Welch, an assistant diving coach who works with the teams in the Adams 12 Five Star district.

“Divers have to face their fears more often.”

Divers usually have separate practices and different coaches than athletes on the swim team. Divers often appear like placekickers in football, off to the side.

“Outside of high school, diving is really a separate sport from swimming,” said Cherry Creek dive coach Grant Robinson. “It depends on the program. At Cherry Creek, we like to incorporate the team unity between the two different sports.”

For divers, as with football kickers, there is also a high degree of pressure to perform.

“Swimmers are better known, they have more events,” said Ralston Valley freshman Izzy Gregersen, one of the state’s top divers. “We get like one time.”

The pressure is not just to score well, but also to not get injured.

Lanes will be abuzz with titles on the line

T Ralston Valley freshman Izzy Gregersen has been diving for five years and is on a team with many inexperienced divers who are not club divers. “I don’t coach them but I really try to encourage them,” she said.

TOP SCORES Top one-meter diving scores this season, according to rankings compiled through Jan. 25 by Prep Swim Colorado.

Class 5A • Ally Brown, Horizon: 519.55 • Franny Cable, Arapahoe: 506.85 • Sam Tamborski, Douglas County/Castle View: 465.45 • Izzy Gregerson, Ralston Valley: 461.00 • Addie Perlmutter, Cherry Creek: 452.12 Class 4A • Lindsey Hammar, Denver South: 458.05 • Morgan McCarthy, Fort Collins: 441.15 • Gabrielle Peltier, Rampart: 430.45 • Avery Dinnel, Pine Creek: 418.90 • Gigi Beattie, Valor Christian: 418.30 • Kyrianna Chambo, Highlands Ranch: 413.15 “Out of all the sports, when you are sinking a last-second free throw or kicking a field goal, there is no risk involved in some of those activities,” Ralston Valley diving coach Kevin Sage said.

“In diving, you can really mess yourself up if you lose your awareness of where you are at, you can really do some damage. It’s the same way with gymnastics.”

STATE MEET ON DECK Swimmers and divers will be together for the girls state swimming championships this month. The Class 3A and 4A meets will be Feb. 8-10 at the Veterans Memorial Aquatics Center (VMAC) in Thornton. The Class 5A championships will be Feb. 9-10 at the Edora Pool Ice Center (EPIC) in Fort Collins.

Flipping the script The divers in Class 5A with the five highest scores so far this season are all former gymnasts. They are sophomore Ally Brown, who competes for Horizon; junior Franny Cable, of Arapahoe; senior Sam Tamborski, of the Douglas County/ Castle View team; Gregersen; and sophomore Addie Perlmutter, of Cherry Creek.

Many of the twists, turns and tucks of diving relate to gymnastics, but they do require some adjustments.

“What it takes to be a good diver is you have to have good balance and be a little bit crazy,” Smith said. “You have to be a little crazy to go up there spinning, have good kinesthetic awareness to where you SEE DIVING, P30

The Colorado High School Bowling Foundation’s team and individual state championships are Feb. 10-11 at Belleview Lanes, 4900 S. Federal Blvd., Englewood.

Jim Benton Bowling is not sanctioned by the Colorado High School Activities Association, but 51 teams in five conferences and 287 bowlers compete during the season.

It costs each bowler $60 for the 10-week season and sponsors are obtained to help with team fees.

At the state tournament, scholarship money is awarded through the United States Bowling Congress’ SMART accounts. Bowlers on the top five teams, plus the leading five boys and girls individual finishers, earn scholarship awards. The boy and girl with the top averages will also get a scholarship award.

James Hastings, of the Doherty Spartans Blue, had the season’s top average for the boys of 221, while Luna Ramirez of the Wheat Ridge coteam team and Hannah Perry of the Falcon Falcons 1 shared the best girls average of 185.

The Wheat Ridge co-op team captured the Central Conference title and the Belleview co-op team won the Southern Denver regular-season title.

State tournament team competition will be Feb. 10, with individuals vying for top five finishes Feb. 11. Many of the teams are from outside the metro area. There are 16 teams from the Colorado Springs area and 13 from Grand Junction. Many of the teams are affiliated with schools and some teams are co-op, drawing bowlers from different schools.

“We are struggling in the Denver area,” CHSBF President Victor Holt said. “Kids don’t think of it as a sport. One thing we are trying to do for next year is get a teacher at each school that is willing to start up a bowling club.”

Former Bronco McCaffrey takes over Valor program New coach’s sons have been instrumental in multiple state titles at the school

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ed McCaffrey’s bonds to Valor Christian go back a long way, and now the former Denver Broncos wide receiver has been named the new Eagles football coach.

Valor Christian Athletic Director Jamie Heiner announced the hiring of McCaffrey, 49, on Feb. 5, and the new coach was scheduled to be introduced to players and their parents on Feb. 6.

However, it was likely that no introduction was needed.

Four of McCaffrey’s sons have played for Valor. Max, Christian and Dylan are graduates, and his youngest son, Luke, is currently a junior at Valor.

“Ed has been a part of the Valor community for nine years and now we’re honored to call him Coach McCaffrey,” Heiner said.

McCaffrey replaces Rod Sherman, who resigned in December. Sherman,

the school’s first athletic director, led the Eagles to state championships in 2013, 2015 and 2016 and he compiled a 57-11 record in his tenure as head coach.

Valor has won seven state titles in three different divisions and a McCaffrey has been part of all the championships, starting with Max (2009-12) and followed by Christian (2010-14) and Dylan (2013-17).

All four brothers were multiple sport athletes and Luke, who is currently playing basketball, is in line to be the starting quarterback next season.

Max is a wide receiver with the San Francisco 49ers, Christian plays for

On campus: Castle View • The boys and girls basketball teams play crosstown rival Douglas County on Feb. 9 in a doubleheader at Castle View.

“I am committed to the Valor community and genuinely care about our student-athletes as I have prayed and cheered for them at every football game since 2009,” McCaffrey said in a statement.

McCaffrey, who becomes the third Valor head football coach, played for the Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants and has won three Super Bowl rings. He was a radio color analyst for Bronco games but left that position before last season so he could spend more time watching his sons play football.

News and notes from local high school sports programs

Sarah Sams won titles at the girls state championship wrestling meet Feb. 3 at Thornton High School. It was not a CHSAA sanctioned tournament. Campbell won a 20-4 technical fall over Nanen Agular of Limon in the 136-pound title match. Kelly pinned Bella Mitchell in 1:30 to win the 161-pound championship and Sams won a 10-6 decision over Denver South’s Marietou Atore at 185 pounds.

• Sharp free throw shooting helped the boys basketball team defeat Ponderosa 82-45 on Feb. 2.

The Huskies led 49-20 at halftime and wound up outscoring the Mustangs 29-4 from the foul line. Junior Earl Boykins was 12-for-12 from the foul line.

Rock Canyon • Girls basketball coach Becky Mudd came up for an idea to urge her players to engage with the community. The Jaguars’ game against Legend on Feb. 6 was designed as the Small Actions-Big Impact game. Each player selected a cause, person, family or group and played the game in honor of that person/group. The girls were committed to do a small action for the person/cause they selected.

This small action could be a note of encouragement, a donation, time in community service or sharing awareness for the person/group selected.

for new dives.”

Tamborski concedes it takes time to become a good diver and master the mental side of the sport.

“You have to have drive, really want to work hard to get good and listen to your coach,” she said. “It takes a long time to learn. I’ve been diving for five years. I still have more things to learn.

“It is absolutely a mental game.

You really have to focus if you mess up a dive or it didn’t go the way you wanted. You have to focus and do better so you can make up for it.”

Divers’ abilities and fearlessness garner them the appreciation of their teammates.

Delaney Smith, no relation to coach Smith, is a senior swimmer at Arapahoe.

She has committed to swim at UCLA and admits it has taken her a while to appreciate diving.

“I don’t understand how they twist in the air,” she said. “I’ve basically only seen diving in high school. I see it some when I watch the Olympics. I know they start practicing before we start practicing.

“They always have a lot of respect for what we are doing, and we have a lot of respect for them because I honestly would be so scared doing a flip in the air.”

Cable has set numerous school and pool diving records this season. She gave up gymnastics before her freshman year, took a beginning diving class and has developed into one of best divers in the state.

Wolverines upend top-ranked Jaguars Chaparral wins meeting of league powers in front of a packed house

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Fans and students from both schools packed the Chaparral gym on Feb. 2 two hours before the start of the Continental League boys basketball showdown against Rock Canyon.

It was a game that showcased Rock Canyon, ranked first in the CHSAANow.com poll, against the thirdranked Wolverines. The contest also highlighted the stellar boys basketball being played this season in Douglas County schools.

Chaparral got off to a fast start before the sellout crowd and never trailed in earning a 73-57 victory over the previously undefeated Jaguars.

“The number one team in the state, you beat them, it’s a good win,” said Chaparral coach Tellus Truesdale.

“It’s a step towards our goal. This will give us confidence and hopefully carry us through the next four games in the conference.

Heading into the game, the top three teams in the Jan. 29 CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll were top-ranked Rock Canyon, No. 2 ThunderRidge and third-rated Chaparral.

After games of Feb. 2, the eight

Class 5A Douglas County teams had compiled a combined 110-39 overall record and the 11-team league had a 139-65 mark, with only one team with a losing record.

ThunderRidge still loomed in front of both Chaparral and Rock Canyon.

The Wolverines were scheduled to face the Grizzlies in another prominent matchup on Feb. 6 at ThunderRidge.

Rock Canyon concludes the regular season with a Feb. 16 game at ThunderRidge.

“The ratings are what they are,” said Rock Canyon coach Kent Grams.

“They don’t mean much right now. In March is when we want to be playing our best basketball.”

Chaparral took command early with a strong defensive effort as Rock Canyon made only three field goals in the first 16 minutes. Some of the excitement of the game disappeared in the fourth quarter as Chaparral paraded to the charity line and shot 29 free throws to hold off the Jaguars, who were never able to climb closer than nine points.

“I thought our defensive intensity was huge in that good start,” said Truesdale. “We were really focused and that started our offense. We’ve been preaching that all year long — defense feeds our offense. We’ve got guys that can put it in the bucket but we’ve got to get stops.

“You play in front of a big crowd and you are always going to be pumped up.

That atmosphere obviously doesn’t

Chaparral’s Bryce Matthews (24) tries to hang on to the loose ball as Rock Canyon’s Tyson Gilbert also gets a hand in there as teammate Sam Masten (5) looks ready to grab the ball if it comes his way. The Wolverines defeated top-ranked Rock Canyon 73-57 Feb. 2 in Parker.

PAUL DISALVO happen as much as you wish but you also don’t get two top teams as often.”

Ronnie DeGray III, a 6-foot-6 junior, paced Chaparral with 27 points and 11 rebounds. Junior Bryce Matthews finished with 18 points and junior

Tanner Giles chipped in 11 for the Wolverines, who shot 59 percent from the field.

The 2016-17 National Federation of State High School Associations’ participation report showed there were 2,835 boys teams with 30,054 bowlers and 2,821 girls teams with 26,588 participants. The total number of high school bowlers was 56,642. There are 24 states that sanction boys bowling, while girls bowling is certified in 27 states.

All in the family McKay Vansickle and her younger sister Avery were going one-on-one on Jan. 30, but it wasn’t like it used to be in the backyard of their Castle Rock home.

The sisters played against each other in a key Continental League basketball game in the Castle View gym, and at times they were matched against each other.

McKay is a 5-foot-7 senior at Castle View, who has committed to play next season at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Avery is 5-10 freshman who plays for Regis Jesuit and has already drawn interest from schools like North Carolina.

The sisters would sometimes exchange a brief word, and their parents, Brian and Tami, were able to watch both sisters play a high school game at the same time.

Masten, a 6-3 senior, had 21 points for Rock Canyon, with 12 coming in the fourth quarter, when he had more success making driving, twisting shots under the basket. Gilbert had 18

Promotion for coach Vince Siravo, the Faith Christian offensive coordinator for the past four years, has been promoted to the head coaching position for the Eagles’ football team.

“We have to get better,” said Grams.

“We want to be humble and hungry.

We didn’t want to lose to Chaparral, obviously, but maybe it was a good thing. We have to adjust and move on.

“We’ve had a slow start probably for the past five or six games and I told our guys it was going to catch up with us. When you play the best teams in the state, we are not going to be able to fight back.

“I give a lot of credit to Chaparral.

They did a great job on the boards and taking away our transition. They played a heck of a game.”

Regis won 49-39. Avery scored a game-high 17 points, while McKay tallied 6 points.

The sisters, who both wear No. 11, were starters. McKay is averaging 8.8 points a game and Avery 9.4 ppg.
