Departure leaves board at crossroads Group now split 3-3 on policies of school district reform

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County School Board member Doug Benevento’s resignation has left the board with three members who support the school district’s reform policies and three who oppose them.

The remaining board members hold the choice of a replacement, and quite

possibly, the direction of the Douglas County School District, in their hands.

“The person who fills this board member vacancy will need to have a common passion for moving forward with the efforts to restore our district back to its state of Benevento excellence,” board member David Ray said.

Judith Reynolds, board vice president, wants to find someone who can “hit the

ground running.”

“I would look for someone with the ability to look at the big-picture issues but still sees the details, someone who is a problem solver and someone who is student focused,” Reynolds said.

Benevento — who was three years into his second term when he announced his resignation Aug. 17 — was a strong supporter of school choice and pay-for-performance for teachers as a member of the reform-minded majority on the board. An attorney who lives in Highlands Ranch, he was first elected in 2009 and re-elected in

2013. Term limits would have prevented him from running in the next school board election in November 2017.

Benevento was among the four board members who voted to approve a contract for interim superintendent Erin Kane, president of a local charter school, the night of Aug. 16. Reynolds, board president Meghann Silverthorn and Dr. James Geddes also approved hiring Kane, while the three members who have largely opposed reform measures disBoard continues on Page 7

Castle Rock Town Council will ask voters if the town can keep excess tax revenue collected during 2015 to pay for future police, fire, and emergency medical and transportation expenses.

The ballot question will be part of the Nov. 8 general election for Castle Rock voters.

“I undertand the purpose of TABOR, but I do think it’s prudent on our part to let the taxpayers have a say in it as well,” said Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donahue, of asking residents to keep the money for town projects.

For the first time in this decade, Castle Rock has exceeded its TABOR revenue limit. The Taxpayers Bill of Rights is part of the Colorado Constitution and has a provision that imposes revenue restrictions on state and on local governments.

HELLO

Starting our business We started our own business, 180 Branding, here in town eight years ago, working from home. I worked our business the first several years, and now Brett handles all of the day-to-day operations. Now, I work at the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce.

A glimpse of the people in our community

SUE TURNER Colorado native, traveler, reader My background I’m a Colorado native, and grew up in the Southglenn area (now Centennial). After I got married, my husband, Brett, and I lived in downtown Littleton for 14 years. We moved to Castle Rock in 1995 when our son was 10, so we’re going on 21 years in Castle Rock.

Our population was about 12,000 people then, and we had a small Wal-Mart (not the one we have now), and one grocery store. The Outlets existed, but they were not nearly as good then as they are now. I have been excited about the growth and direction of Castle Rock since I moved here, since I remember the times that kids had nothing to do except the rec center. I’m excited to see how the Promenade takes shape, as I really enjoy the Streets at SouthGlenn and Southlands Mall, both of which were from the same developer. I also love the unique shops downtown and the local restaurants that we have here. Most of them are amazing.

Ladies night in I have a phenomenal group of ladies that I get together with once per month. We rotate houses, and have dinner together and enjoy the company and conversation of each other. I didn’t think that was really unique, but the more people I tell about my ladies night in, the more unusual it seems to be. We’ve created some very special memories. Most of us have been part of the group for over 10 years. Occasionally a member leaves (generally from moving away), but we quickly gain a new friend to join. Our current group I think has been together for three or four years. We invite our husbands once or twice a year to join us.

Legislative leadership opportunity Online registrations are being accepted for this year’s Youth Congress, which will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sept. 26 at the PACE Center in Parker.

The program unites high school students from throughout Douglas County with area civic leaders and gives teens an opportunity to learn how the legislative process works. Teenagers work to solve problems and find creative solutions for topics such as mental health, trafficking and sexting.

The topics change each year, but the issues are ones that affect the lives of Douglas County youths.

Youth Congress is one of three cornerstones of the Douglas County Youth Initiative, which also offers the Douglas County Youth Awards and the Wraparound program.

For more information, contact Marsha Alston, youth services program manager, at malston@douglas.co.us or 303-688-4825 ext. 5327. Lunch will be provided and all students will receive 7.5 hours of community service.

In my spare time I enjoy cooking, reading and absolutely love traveling. I don’t get to travel as much as I’d like, but I’ve had some great experiences traveling to Europe and China.

I’m looking forward to traveling more again in the future. My passions are spending time with my son and daughter-in-law, and the grand-pets (two dogs and a cat). Someday I’ll get grandchildren (I hope), and then they’ll probably become my passion.

Larkspur Fire offers free tree-cutting lottery Each year, Larkspur Fire’s certified tree-cutters must cut at least three trees at a fire or during training to maintain that certification. To help do that, the Larkspur Fire Protection District is holding a free lottery this fall for district residents in need of some tree service or fire mitigation.

Property owners can submit their names for the drawing from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31. Names will be drawn and winners notified in the first week of November. The work will be done sometime between the second week of November and the end of March 2017. Larkspur firefighters can also make fire mitigation recommendations during this process.

Other guidelines: • Trees should not be close to houses or power lines nor require other trees to be cut first.

• Trees should be no larger than 24 inches in diameter.

• Complex trees may be declined due to danger to property.

• LFPD will cut the trees down, limb them up and buck them (cut them into logs).

• LFPD will not move the limbs or logs after falling the trees.

• Homeowners will be responsible for clearing away the logs, limbs and slash.

To participate, call the district at 303-681-3284 and provide your name, address, and phone number as well as how many trees you would like cut. All entries will be placed in a hat and drawn.

For more information, contact Training Officer Paul Hartigan at 303-681-83284, ext. 1104.

Castle Rock starts 2017 budget discussion The final budget, focusing on growth and community character, will be adopted in September

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Among its many priorities for 2017, the Town of Castle Rock wants to focus on improving roads, balancing growth with community character, encouraging more business and job development, maintaining quality parks and recreation, providing good public safety services and securing longterm renewable water sources.

The good news for residents is the proposed $188.4 million budget does not call for any increase in taxes, thanks to rising property values that will generate more revenue for town coffers.

The 2017 budget, presented Aug. 16 to town council, estimates property tax revenue to grow by 5.5 percent.

The tax rate won’t be set until late August when Douglas The proposed general fund estimates revenues at $46.3 County completes its preliminary property valuation. It million and expenditures at $47.9 million, a difference of will be, however, less than or equal to the about $1.5 million.

constructing a roundabout at Third and Perry streets. Five new positions are also proposed within the town’s Public Works department to focus on transportation project management, traffic signal management, snow and ice control, pothole filling and crack sealing.

Fire Station 152, in Crystal Valley Ranch, is also planned for 2017 and two new law enforcement patrol officers are expected to be added to the force.

The town also is planning extensive projects to secure longterm renewable water. The most costly is the construction of the Plum Creek diversion, well fields and related pipelines and pump station, for an estimated $9.8 million.

Increase in fees The 2017 budget also proposes fee increases in water rates and golf fees.

The proposed water rate increases — which town staff says are needed to support longterm renewable water capital needs and stormwater capital needs — would impact the typical residential monthly bill by about $1.26.

A system development fee increase also is included for water, stormwater and wastewater, which would be between $271 and $463 per new single-family unit constructed.

Golf fees are proposed to increase by $3 for most 18hole rounds and by $1 for most 9-hole rounds to accommodate escalating operational and maintenance costs.

Lone Tree resident led heroin ring, indictment says Drugs, gun, cash seized during arrest at apartment

By Josh Sumner jsumner@coloradocommunitymedia.com A Lone Tree man has been named in a grand jury indictment as the leader of a drug-trafficking network throughout the Denver metro area that had $2.2 million worth of heroin seized in recent raids.

Jose DeJesus Bernal-Zamora was at his apartment in the 9000 block of South Yosemite Street when law enforcement officers executed a search warrant July 27, ac-

cording to the indictment, which was issued Aug. 11.

Officers turned up more than a kilogram of heroin, approximately 131 grams of cocaine, a 9mm Beretta pistol and $10,498 in cash during the seizure.

Bernal“The drug epidemic is Zamora still going on, and it’s going to continue,” said Lone Tree interim police Chief Ron Pinson, whose agency was not involved in the operation.

Pinson said the popularity of heroin has risen during his more than 25 years

in law enforcement.

“When I was on the road, you didn’t see heroin,” said Pinson. “If you ran across heroin, it was a surprise. Now, it’s prevalent.”

The raid was part of Operation Muchas Pacas — an investigation that began in August 2015 as a partnership between the Drug Enforcement Administration, Denver Police Department and the West Metro Drug Task Force.

“Stopping the flow and sale of dangerous drugs in Colorado is a major priority of this office” Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman said in a news release.

“This case was a great example of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies

working together to dismantle an international drug trafficking network.”

In its full scope, the operation resulted in the indictments of 25 people as well as the seizure of 47 pounds of heroin, $218,712 in cash, three vehicles and 11 firearms.

Bernal-Zamora faces 20 counts in the indictment. In addition to the drug-trafficking charges, he will also faces counts alleging conspiracy and money laundering.

During its operation, the drug-trafficking organization transported heroin from Mexico through Arizona and into Colorado, the indictment says, adding that the group concealed the drugs in the spare tires of vehicles and in FedEx packages.

Douglas County officials address state panel on marijuana

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County officials were among those who testified at the Aug. 17 meeting of the 2016 Interim Study Committee on Cost-benefit Analysis of Legalized Marijuana in Colorado.

Committee members are state Reps. Dan Pabon, Jonathan Singer and Yeulin Willett and state Sens.

Randy Baumgardner, Irene Aguilar and Chris Holbert, a Parker resident.

Chief Deputy Steve Johnson of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said he was encouraged to hear testimony given by the industry and its desire to be responsible.

He also shared a little about what has been happening in Douglas County.

Johnson, who has 33 years of experience in law enforcement, told committee members that since 2013, there have been more than 130 grow operations in Douglas County. So far this year, the county has verified 40 illegal grow operations. In 2015, there

were 45 for the entire year.

“This is an extreme public safety concern, and required law enforcement to approach the commissioners about enacting an ordinance to prevent these illegal grows from proliferating,” Johnson said.

That ordinance, which is one of the strictest cultivation ordinances in the state, was passed by the Douglas County Board of Commissioners and went into effect Aug. 9.

Besides limiting the number of plants grown at a single residence to 12, the new Douglas County ordinance also prohibits outdoor grows, requires growers to live in the home, and requires tenants of a rental property to have written permission from the property owner before establishing the property as a location where marijuana may be grown, cultivated or processed.

It also prohibits the use of compressed flammable gas products and flammable liquids, and addresses odor.

“The gray market has put local

governments in a difficult position,” Kelly Dunnaway, deputy county attorney for Douglas County, told the committee.

Dunnaway added that he would like to see statewide regulation on the gray market and hopes Colorado will look at Douglas County and use it as a success.

“If someone has 99 plants and properly cultivates them, it would produce the equivalent of being able to smoke six joints a day for 22,000 days,” he said. “With 12 plants, someone could be able to smoke six joints a day for 3,000 days.”

Eric Bergman, policy director at Colorado Counties Inc., a nonprofit organization that helps counties work together on issues, also spoke during the local government impact section of the meeting, emphasizing that residential homes are not suited to grow large quantities of marijuana.

“Counties are ready to partner and find solutions for the next session,” he told the committee.

‘The hands and feet of Jesus’ Helping Hands is a community outreach program of the Douglas Elbert Realtor Association

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com The high-pitched screech of power tools cut through the air at the peaceful country home of the Steve and Cindy Zimmermann family in Elbert County. Volunteers from the Douglas Elbert Realtor Association had spread throughout the property, cutting wood to rebuild a front and back deck, painting and trimming bushes.

“We’re just blessed,” said Cindy Zimmermann as she watched the volunteers. “It’s like a miracle happening today. These people are really the hands and feet of Jesus.”

Construction work at the Zimmermann home was one of two projects the Douglas Elbert Realtor Association completed Aug. 12 and 13 during its Helping Hands Community Outreach Project.

Every year, the association helps one or two families in need with their homes in Douglas or Elbert counties.

Their mission is to help those in the community with home improvement projects to better a family’s quality of life. Helping Hands supports the elderly, the young, the disabled, and those with unexpected life events and adversity.

The Zimmermann family moved from Parker to their ranch-style home along the Elbert County line last October, shortly after their son, Patrick, 16, was diagnosed with Niemann-Pick Type C, a degenerative condition that’s compared to childhood Alzheimer’s.

“Patrick loves to sit out back and we can see the sunrises and moonrises and rainbows,” Cindy Zimmermann said.

The family is excited about the revamped back deck, which will have safer, ramp access for Patrick. “He used to run cross country, play piano and now he can’t do those things,” Zimmerman said. “So he’s ready to go to heaven.”

Most children with Patrick’s disease don’t live past age 20, she said, so making his home comfortable is a top priority.

The Zimmermann home is also a foster location for Drifters Hearts of Hope, a nonprofit organization in which youth with special needs provide boarding and care for horses rescued from slaughter until adoptive homes can be found. Currently, three horses reside at the Zimmermann property.

The Realtor association’s second project was at the Garcia residence in Castle Rock, where volunteers helped clean out the basement of the home where Paul Garcia and his wife, Patti, live with their daughter, Alyssa.

Paul Garcia recently returned home after being in hospice for 2 1/2 years. He is in a wheelchair and on oxygen permanently. His parents passed away several years ago and all their belongings were stored in the basement.

Because of Garcia’s health problems, the family had been unable to clear it out.

“It is such a wonderful feeling to be a part of these projects and help families in the communities we work and live in,” Renata White and Wendy Gable, co-chairs of the DERA Helping Hands project for this year, wrote in a media release. “Seeing everyone work together and help out these families is amazing and so rewarding. You cant believe it until you do it.”

Website lays out government data Douglas County shares info, services with streamlined programs

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Transparency” has become a popular buzzword in political discussions, and while the term may be newer than the idea, advancing technology is making it a reality.

Douglas County hopes to pioneer the trend with new open data products and services on its website, providing one place for citizens to find information and programs from all of the county’s departments.

The site, data.douglas.co.us, connects users to budget data, electoral services, property information, recreational programs and traffic alerts, all from one centralized page.

“We wanted to make the information for Douglas County residents more accessible and more relevant,” Douglas County Treasurer Diane Holbert said. “We also wanted to be sensitive to the fact that people really don’t care who does what, they just want their problems solved.”

County Assessor Lisa Frizell said a goal was to increase transparency, but making the county’s services more available to residents was also a priority.

One of the portals, “Douglas

County Outdoors,” allows users to filter parks and trails based on features such as trail difficulty, accessibility for pets and proximity. Another button connects to the “Living Well, Aging Well” feature, displaying a variety of services for senior citizens.

Public Affairs Director Wendy Holmes said the programs and format are a response to the changing needs of an increasingly savvy citizenry.

“We’ve known since 2006 that we have a very sophisticated population in Douglas County, and they’re invested in the use of smartphones and tablets,” Holmes said, adding that designers took that into account and made the programs as mobileand tablet-friendly as possible.

Data Services Project Manager John Thompson said he looks forward to using the technology to help ease the burden of a problem that residents frequently face.

“One of the biggest complaints we receive is about traffic congestion,” Thompson said.

The page’s “Roadway Impacts” button links to an interactive map, highlighting roads with traffic tieups. By clicking on an outline, users can find out the reason for the congestion and how long it’s expected to last.

Users can check in on projects on the website or subscribe, free of charge, for SMS or text notifications about “cone zones,” but the location-

based service can also be customized to include notifications on community events like concerts.

Holmes also said the tool is a time saver for anyone looking into real estate information. In a demonstration, Thompson and Frizell went from the total number of building permits issued in Douglas County to the total for Highlands Ranch down to the types of permits issued, all in less than a minute. Hovering the cursor over the homes on a map displayed the types of permits, their issue dates and costs.

Molly Armbrister, a real estate reporter with the Denver Business Journal, said she recently used the website for a story on increasing development in Douglas County, and was so impressed by the website she “exclaimed out loud” in her office.

“It was really quick and easy,” she said. “All of the documents were readily available and the documents I needed were easy to find.”

Frizell said Douglas County has “always led the pack” when it comes to transparency and access to government data, and she’s equally excited about how users will use the website to connect with community activities.

But she said added that the work isn’t done.

“This isn’t the culmination of an effort,” Frizell said. “This is just the beginning of the journey.”

Terri Davis, of Colorado State Bank and Trust, trims juniper bushes at the Zimmermann residence. She said she loves volunteering, especially for this specific family.

“Patrick has such a spirit,” she said. “I just love being here.”

Zack Palmer, of Educational Measures in Centennial, cuts wood for a front porch at the Zimmermann home. This is his third year volunteering for the Helping Hands project.

“I love the cause and working with my hands and helping a family out,” he said.

Interim superintendent’s contract approved

One-year contract worth $240,000 offered

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County school board officially approved Erin Kane, an engineer and executive director of a local charter school, as the district’s interim superintendent with a $240,000-a-year salary.

By a 4-3 vote, the board approved a one-year contract for Kane at its Aug. 16 meeting. Pending Kane’s formal acceptance, the contract would begin Sept. 1 and end Aug. 31, 2017. A provision allows the contract to be extended on a monthto-month basis if board members and Kane agree.

As part of her compensation package, Kane, who is executive director at the American Academy K-8 charter school, will also receive 35 days of paid time off annually, health and retirement benefits.

Kane Former Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen, who left in July to lead a school district in Texas, had a salary of $273,715.

“I believe this represents a quality agreement that will send a market signal to our future superintendent,” Douglas County Board of Education President Meghann Silverthorn said. “We want to attract good future superintendent candidates. That being said, I think many items in here show what we are willing to offer a chief executive in our district.”

The contract was met with resistance from board members David Ray, AnneMarie Lemieux and Wendy Vogel, who raised concerns about the salary, which they believe is too high compared to other comparable districts in the state, as well as the amount of paid time off and various aspects of contract language.

Kane’s salary is more than that of superintendents in two nearby suburban districts: Littleton’s superintendent earns

Castle Rock/Franktown

$220,000 and Jefferson County’s $194,000.

But it is less than the leader of the Cherry Creek district, who makes $247,000, according to figures from the Colorado Department of Education.

Ray also expressed concerns about Kane’s lack of experience in the classroom, which echoed sentiments of some parent groups in previous weeks.

“I’m really concerned about what message we are sending to the profession when we send a message that states you don’t need a degree in education.

You don’t need to have classroom experience. You don’t need a license to be an administrator,” Ray said. “To me, it’s a real compromise to what I consider professionalism in terms of what it means to be a professional educator.”

Kane was selected as the lone finalist from two candidates and approved by a 4-3 vote of the Douglas County school board at a special meeting Aug. 2. The other candidate was James Calhoun, the recently retired principal of Castle View High School in Castle Rock.

“Erin is an experienced professional with the skill set that is right for this transition period in our district,” Silverthorn said. “She is a proven leader who will help further our philosophy that individual school communities know what is best for their students, and should be trusted to make those decisions. She is a respected administrator at the American Academy family of schools. I look forward to working with her as she moves our district forward through conversations with our students, teachers, parents, and community members. “ A Colorado native with an engineering degree in applied mathematics and computer science from the University of Colorado, helped found American Academy. She has served as executive director since 2013.

American Academy is a charter K-8 school in the district with two locations, one each in Castle Pines and Parker.

The search for a permanent replacement will likely last several months.

Benevento says he did what he set out to do

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com After seven years, Doug Benevento leaves the Douglas County School Board with a sense of accomplishment.

“I feel like the things I talked about in the two elections, I’ve done,” the Highlands Ranch resident said.

“I understand that there is a minority on the board that doesn’t like them, but honestly, those things are going to be litigated in the 2017 election and they’re not going to change in the next year. I was kind of looking around and saying, ‘Well, what am I staying on the board for?’ “ Benevento, along with board president and fellow reform-advocate Meghann Silverthorn, was the longest-serving member of the board. Since 2009, Benevento worked to promote reforms such as

Board Continued from Page 1

“Once we got past the transition to a new interim, I felt like that was a good time to leave and maybe a time for someone new to come in,” Benevento said.

Until a replacement is appointed, Ray, Anne-Marie Lemieux and Wendy Vogel — each of whom was elected in November 2015 — will find themselves on even footing with the senior board members.

Benevento represented District E, which encompasses eastern Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Acres Gree and Castle Pines. A replacement will be required to live in the district and will serve out the remainder of Benevento’s term.

At the next board meeting, scheduled for Sept. 6, the vacancy will be officially announced and a timeline for finding a replacement will be established.

Board members will be able to nominate potential candidates for interviews. A nominee will need to receive a board majority to be appointed, according to district policy.

In the event that the board does not select a person to fill the vacancy by the end of the 60th day following the declaration of the vacancy, the president of the board will appoint a person to fill the vacancy as required by law.

Benevento said he doesn’t think his re-

TABOR Continued from Page 1

Because of grants and money contributed to the town from the state and Colorado Department of Transportation for major projects like the North Meadows Extension and Philip S. Miller Park, along with strong sales tax growth and other revenue sources, the town surpassed the TABOR revenue limit in 2015 by $714,580.

By law, council can either refund the money to taxpayers or ask voters to allow the city to keep and spend the money on local services.

With a 4-2 vote at the Aug. 16 town council meeting, council decided to ask taxpayers to keep the money. Mayor Pro Tem Jennifer Green and Councilman Brett Ford were opposed. Councilman George Teal was absent.

Green has been adamant in council TABOR discussions that the money should be returned to taxpayers. Ford, who previously voted Aug. 2 to ask voters for the money back, changed his position at the most recent meeting.

“Looking at the intent of TABOR, it was put in place for a very specific reason,” Ford said. “I’ve had a change of heart.”

In an online public survey conducted by the town earlier this summer, 41 percent of those who participated voted to allow the town to keep the money specifically to help fund solutions for traffic problems and other transportation concerns. Only 143 of Castle Rock’s 60,000 residents voted in the poll.

increased school choice and pay-for-performance for teachers and was one of the board members who voted to end the district’s longstanding relationship with the teacher’s union.

Many of the Benevento-backed policies drew a long list of detractors, including various community groups and since last fall, other members of the school board.

“Although I rarely saw eye-to-eye with Mr. Benevento and disagreed with his approach, I certainly give him credit for his seven years of dedicated service,” said David Ray, one of three board members elected in November 2015 who oppose the district’s reforms.

Benevento, who works as an attorney for Xcel Energy, said he is proud of the role he played in increasing school choice, implementing performance-based pay and decentralizing decision-making to give more

placement will be much different philosophically from him, but may bring new ideas and new energy that he said the board needs right now. At the same time, it may be difficult for board members to agree on a replacement.

“It’s not inconceivable that ultimately it will come down to (Silverthorn) choosing,” Benevento said.

Ray said Benevento’s resignation is a positive step for the district, a sentiment shared by a pair of community groups.

The group Voices for Public Education said they see the resignation of Benevento as a win for students, teachers and the community of Douglas County.

“The damage done to our district during his time on the board will take many years to undo,” Amy DeValk said in a statement on behalf of the group.

“The community continues to pressure the reform majority to return the focus of the board to what is best for students and not political agendas. We are hopeful the search for a replacement will be open-minded, transparent and support the needs of students and teachers above all else.”

Community group Douglas County Parents said Benevento’s tenure on the DCSD Board of Education was fraught with controversy and his resignation is “a welcome development.”

“Benevento’s dismissal of community concerns about increased turnover, his recent threats against another director, and chronic absence at board meet-

“

Looking at the intent of TABOR, it was put in place for a very specific reason.”

Brett Ford, Castle Rock councilman

The town also collected public input from an additional 71 residents, 27 of whom said the town should refund the money to taxpayers.

Other suggestions by respondents about what how the town could use the money included: • Establishing a train horn quiet zone • Enriching downtown and the parks • Addressing traffic problems and repairing roads • Creating bike lanes and more open space • Promoting economic development and supporting the police and fire departments If the ballot question fails, residents will automatically be refunded through a credit on their water bill.

Castle Rock Town Manager Dave Corlis said this is the most efficient way of issuing the refund, which has to occur this calendar year.

The credit would be given only to Castle Rock residents with a utility account in December 2015 and who still have one in December 2016. Businesses will not be included.

power to schools.

“We expanded choice dramatically,” Benevento said. “If you look at the charter school enrollment when we first came in and the charter school enrollment now, it’s significantly up, and they are quality charter schools. They’re up because we attracted them and did things like equalizing funding for charters and working with them to find land in our high-population area.”

Silverthorn calls Benevento a “longtime friend.”

“He was the last remaining colleague I had from my initial election to the board in 2009,” Silverthorn said. “I wish him the very best in his future endeavors.”

Benevento said he would not speak on his legacy, as that is “for presidents, not school board members.”

“We absolutely did important things,” he said, “and those important things will carry on.”

ings are only a few of the disappointing elements of his time spent on the board,” Douglas County Parents said in a statement. “Moving forward with the selection process, we hope for transparency and the placement of a director who better represents the interests of our community.”

Benevento said the contentious nature of the board over the past year made it difficult to find common ground and work with the other side and that he did

not foresee that dynamic changing.

“There seemed to be a lack of seriousness dealing with real issues,” Benevento said. “The board was more centered on drama than substantive issues where people may disagree.”

Ray believes Benevento’s departure may be just what is needed to change that dynamic, saying he is hopeful that Benevento’s “stepping down will continue the process to restore and heal our school district.”

Colorado health care proposal divides the left Medical plan among issues heading for November vote Associated Press A universal health care proposal headed to Colorado ballots this fall has exposed some painful rifts among the state’s liberals.

The tension boiled over last week when the left-leaning activist group ProgressNow Colorado held a news conference to denounce the ColoradoCare measure . That drew angry shouts from some supporters of the measure, who showed up to deride ProgressNow as sellouts.

ColoradoCare supporters held signs that crossed out ProgressNow and instead read, “Big Pharma Now.” Another sign asked, “Progress ... Really?” And a third sign begged, “Stop Being Corporate Hacks.”

Amendment 69 would replace the current health care system with the nation’s first universal health care system.

The $25 billion plan would eliminate private insurance in favor of a 10 percent “premium tax,” with the state covering health expenses. Employers would share employees’ costs.

The Durango Herald story on the Aug. 17 dueling news conferences had one advocate calling the infighting a “civil war.”

Democratic state Sen. Irene Aguilar backs the measure and turned out to oppose ProgressNow’s position.

“When organizations that are mislabeled as progressive choose to support the status quo, choose money influence over the lives of the 535 Coloradans estimated to die each year because of lack of access to health care, it makes the people angry and it makes me angry,” Aguilar said.

ProgressNow’s executive director talked about the rift.

“You think this is easy for us? This is not easy. This is tough. Doing the right thing is tough,” Ian Silverii said.

His comments enraged Aguilar, who interrupted Silverii to say, “I am insulted

that you implied that I’m spreading misinformation.”

Colorado’s top-ranking Democrats — Gov. John Hickenlooper and U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet — also oppose ColoradoCare. So does the abortion-rights group NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado, which fears the change could intrude on abortion rights because the state constitution bans the use of taxpayer dollars on an abortion.

“One of the most disturbing arguments we’ve been offered is we should remain neutral, despite the severe policy issues surrounding this,” Karen Middleton, executive director of NARAL Colorado, told the Durango Herald.

“This amounts to nothing more than waiting our turn.”

Conservatives in Colorado were cheering the progressive rift over the health measure.

“What we are also seeing is people from every shade of the political spectrum turn red hot against government control over health care,” Jonathan Lockwood, head of the conservative group Advancing Colorado, said in a statement Aug. 18.

The following is a look at three additional ballot questions that will be asked of Colorado voters in November.

Assistance with suicide Colorado voters this fall will decide whether terminally ill people should be allowed to receive prescriptions for drugs to end their own lives.

The “Medical Aid in Dying” measure was certified Aug. 15 as having enough petition signatures to make ballots this fall.

Five other states have some law allow-

ing the terminally ill to end their lives.

Oregon passed the first right-to-die law in 1998, followed by Washington, Vermont and, last year, California. Montana’s state Supreme Court ruled in 2009 that doctors could use a patient’s request for life-ending medication as a defense against any criminal charges.

Colorado’s version would require two physicians to agree that a person is terminally ill and has six months or less to live, is at least 18, and is mentally competent.

Similar measures have twice failed in the Colorado Legislature. Lawmakers from both parties said that the law could facilitate suicide in cases where a diagnosis may be wrong.

The secretary of state is reviewing petitions for several more ballot measures, including a higher tobacco tax, a plan to replace presidential caucuses with presidential preference primaries, and two measures to change regulations on oil and gas drilling. Another pending measure would make it harder to put a ballot measure to voters, requiring more geographic diversity in the 98,000 or so signatures to put a proposal before voters.

Supporters of Colorado’s suicide measure had raised about $4.4 million

by Aug. 1, according to state filings. Opponents including the Colorado Catholic Conference had not reported any fundraising by Aug. 1.

“

Minimum wage increase A gradual hike in the minimum wage to $12 by 2020 will be decided by Colorado voters this fall.

A ballot measure to hike the minimum wage was certified by the secretary of state Aug. 11 as having the sufficient

You think this is easy for us? This is not easy. This is tough. Doing the right thing is tough.”

Ian Silverii, ProgressNow executive director

98,000 or so signatures to make statewide ballots.

Colorado’s current minimum wage is $8.31 an hour. The ballot measure would raise that to $9.30 an hour next year.

Then the wage would go up 90 cents an hour each year until the wage is $12 an hour by 2020.

Supporters say that minimum wage hikes could be on ballots in five states this fall.

Changing the state constitution Colorado voters have unusual ballot measure awaiting them this fall — whether to make it harder to change the state constitution through a ballot measure.

A measure approved for state ballots Aug. 16 would require constitutional amendments to pass by 55 percent, not 50 percent. The proposal would also make it harder to gather the voter signatures required to put amendments on the ballot, raising it from about 98,000 signatures to 2 percent of the registered voters in each of the state’s 35 state Senate districts.

The “Raise The Bar” campaign has supporters from both parties who complain that Colorado’s state constitution is too easy to change. But Colorado voters have twice before rejected proposals to make it harder to change the state constitution, in 2008 and in 1996.

Pointing fingers and placing blame I am not sure if I can remember a time where finger pointing and blaming others has been more prevalent in all of society than it is right now. It seems easier to hide behind the mistakes of someone else or even create the mistakes of another person than it is to take ownership and to hold ourselves accountable for our own actions and words.

Now I am not the first one to share this next bit of advice when it comes to pointing fingers and placing blame, and I am sure I will not be the last one to share it with you either. But we have to remember that when we point the finger of blame at someone else, there are usually three fingers on our hand pointing directly back at us.

Obviously it’s the media’s fault for corrupting the election for Donald Trump.

There is no question it is the previous secretaries of state who should be blamed for recommending the use of personal email accounts for Hillary Clinton. It must be the other driver’s fault for beeping their horn when we swerved into their lane while reading a text. And it is clearly the umpire’s failure to call balls and strikes accurately that leaves a batter walking back to the dugout in contempt of a called third strike. And it is never the salesperson’s fault for losing an opportunity, it must have been the prospect or customer who screwed up the deal.

Even some of the elite athletes from around the globe, the world’s finest physical

specimens, were found pointing the fingers of blame on weather conditions, the city of Rio, officials, and other reasons they may have missed out on earning a medal. Now don’t get me wrong, I am not saying it’s everyone, it just seems to me that it is happening more Michael Norton and more and being accepted and even tolWINNING erated more and more WORDS as well.

There is nothing like a great victory speech. I love an inspiring business leader, athlete, coach or politician who can talk about the dedication and commitment that it took to win, and do it with grace, confidence, and conviction. But I think I enjoy seeing and hearing from people who lost and who handle the loss with even more grace and courage. The business leader who finds herself sharing why the stock of the company went down, recognizes where the mistakes were made, and doesn’t place blame anywhere else but squarely upon her shoulders. The coach who says we were just outplayed and lost to a great team. The athlete who congratulates the winner and commits to working harder and preparing

better for the rematch. The salesperson who says they were simply outsold. The driver who recognizes that texting and driving is a really really really bad idea.

We love to accept the accolades for success, but for many of us it is just too hard to accept the ownership of our mistakes.

Maybe we do it to save face, so that we look better in front of family, friends and coworkers. Maybe we just can’t believe that we are actually capable of fault, living with the mentality of “It’s not me, it’s you.”

If there were a way to keep count, track records, and give awards for making mistakes, that may be a contest that I could actually win. I sure have made my share along the way. How about you? Do you own up to your own errors and losses or are you someone who prefers to point the finger of blame at someone else? If you are, just look down and you will see three fingers pointing right back at you.

I would love to hear your thoughts on finger pointing and placing blame at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we take ownership and accountability for our own mistakes and losses, it really will be a better than good week.

Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

‘Smuggling’ to rise along with tobacco tax hike An initiative that may appear on Colorado’s November’s ballot would, if adopted, nearly triple the state’s current cigarette excise tax. This, we believe the evidence shows, will usher in a wave of cigarette smuggling and other undesirable consequences.

Michael LaFaive Voters should think twice before adopting this tax increase. Research shows high excise taxes invite scofflaws to traffic in illicit cigarettes, encourage corruption among public officials and trigger violence against people, property and police.

We created a staTodd Nesbit tistical model in 2008 to measure how many GUEST packs of cigarettes are smuggled into or out COLUMN of American states and have updated it routinely since then. In our latest analysis, which uses data through 2013, we find that Colorado has a relatively low smuggling rate of about 12 percent. Most of the smuggling comes from what we call “casual” smuggling.

The casual smuggler is the Coloradan who crosses into a different city, county, state or taxing jurisdiction to buy cigarettes, or buys them online. The key is that the person buys cigarettes for his or her own use.

Contrast this with “commercial” smuggling, which is an organized crime that brings in truckloads of cigarettes from distant locales to be sold illegally in Colorado. This happens all over the country — for example, cigarettes with Virginia tax stamps have been confiscated in California. (A tax stamp is

Charter schools perform well, continue to grow quickly

Every three years, the Colorado Department of Education publishes a comprehensive report on Colorado’s charter school sector. The 2016 State of Charter Schools report was published last month. The report — and its unsurprisingly encouraging findings — could hardly have arrived at a more critical juncture.

Charter schools are tuition-free public schools that operate with increased autonomy through a system of waivers from certain requirements. They are an integral part of public education in America. Yet these public schools increasingly find themselves under attack in Colorado and across the United States.

The Colorado Education Association and its allies backed efforts to complicate the waiver process for charter schools during Colorado’s 2016 legislative session. This alliance also aggressively opposed efforts to fund charter school students equitably under voterapproved property tax increases, thereby perpetuating a system under which Colorado charter schools annually receive roughly $2,000 less per pupil than their traditional public counterparts. This shortfall partially explains why charter school teachers make nearly 30 percent less on average than their traditional public colleagues.

evidence that the pack is subject to the taxing authority of a particular state.)

We have spent much of our working lives since 2006 studying cross-border economic activities, including crossborder tax avoidance and evasion. When cigarettes are involved, we typically call both tax avoidance and tax evasion “smuggling,” although not all tax avoidance is illegal. Using our statistical model, we have calculated what would happen if Colorado were to increase its excise tax from 84 cents per pack to $2.59 per pack.

Our model tells us that smuggling would leap from 12 percent of all cigarettes consumed to a stunning 36 percent, a tripling of the smuggling rate to go with the tripling of the excise tax. Half of those smokes would come from casual smuggling and half from commercial smuggling.

About half the smuggled cigarettes would be bought in from nearby states with lower excise taxes, including Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska. The other half would come from more distant states, but only Kansas separates Colorado from the lowest-taxed cigarettes in the country: Missouri, which levies just 17 cents of tax per pack. It would be naive to think that smuggled cigarettes wouldn’t roll into Colorado by the truckload from Missouri and more distant states if this tax hike were adopted by voters.

We are not the only scholars to calculate smuggling rates nationwide.

Economist Michael Lovenheim published a study in 2008 estimating the national smuggling rate among consumers to be between 13 percent and 25 percent. Other estimates we have reviewed place national evasion and avoidance rates as low as 4 percent and as high as 21 percent.

Studies that zero in on particular localities peg rates much higher.

These assaults defied any credible policy logic, but they provided an opportunity to rally anticharter forces against the expansion of parental choice in public education.

This begs the question: What exactly are Ross Izard they rallying against?

Charter schools GUEST in Colorado now educate a higher COLUMN percentage of minority students than non-charter schools.

They also outpace the state in the percentage of English-language learners served. Although public charter schools serve a lower percentage of low-income students than their traditional public counterparts, the gap is narrowing. The percentage of low-income charter students has roughly doubled since 2001.

Colorado charter schools continue to serve a lower percentage of students who require special education. However, a 2014 study on the subject in Colorado indicates that these differences are primarily explained by differences in application patterns and student classification, not the systematic “counseling

out” of special education students often alleged by charter opponents. In fact, the study found that significantly fewer students with individualized education plans exited charter schools than exited traditional schools at the elementary level. There was no significant difference in exit rates at the middle school level.

When it comes to academics, charter schools tend to surpass traditional public schools. With only a handful of exceptions, the 2016 State of Charter Schools report found that charters outperformed non-charters in both proficiency rates and student growth on statewide assessments. Though more analysis is needed, these positive results appear to hold true for both the older TCAP assessment and the newer, more difficult PARCC assessments.

Most importantly, the explosive expansion of Colorado’s charter sector indicates that these schools are serving a significant — and growing — demand for educational options on the part of Colorado parents. The state’s first two charter schools opened in 1993-94. By 2015-16, that number had grown to 226 — an 11,200 percent increase.

Charter enrollment growth has dramatically outpaced non-charter enrollment growth, and the gap continues to grow. In 2015-16, charter schools served more than 108,000 students statewide.

That represents a 30 percent increase in enrollment since 2011-12.

Though individual reasons for choosing a charter school vary, it is clear that Colorado parents are seizing opportunities for educational choice in droves.

None of this is to say that all is perfect in Colorado’s charter sector. Charter school four-year graduation and postsecondary enrollment rates lag significantly behind those of traditional public schools in Colorado. These gaps are largely explained by the charter sector’s higher proportion of online and alternative schools, which often serve extremely difficult populations of students. Yet demography must never become an excuse. As always, there is work to do.

Even so, it is clear that charter schools in Colorado are meeting the needs of an increasingly diverse population of students. Meanwhile, the sector is expanding rapidly to meet the demand of parents hungry for educational options and opportunities.

Charter opponents will no doubt continue to fight the tide. But standing between parents and the educational options they know their children deserve is unwise, and I have little doubt about which side will prevail in the end.

If it has a laugh track, I refuse to watch it. It’s telling me when to laugh. It’s telling me that something that isn’t funny is funny.

P.G. Wodehouse was a wit. Garry Marshall, rest in peace, was not.

“Happy Days” was not.

Gary Larson was. “Where have you gone, Gary Larson, a nation turns its lonely eyes to you?”

Our first television didn’t come with a remote.

And I wasn’t allowed to change the channels.

So I sat there and put up with Ralph

screaming down Alice’s throat.

“Why is that funny?” I asked my father.

A few years later, Archie treated Edith like she was a dope.

“Why is that funny?”

One day I heard Louie Armstrong’s “Stardust.” Supernatural.

Years later, Woody Allen used the same recording in “Stardust Memories.”

Like him or not, his soundtracks are brilliant.

Allen is brilliant too. Others think he is a self-absorbed creep, and probably would rather watch Kathy Griffith at midnight.

I know someone who turns on her car radio, finds her favorite station, and leaves it there, no matter what.

She puts up with Hall and Oates.

I couldn’t do it.

She puts up with Adele, Jimmy Buffett, and Garth somebody.

I couldn’t do it.

Here’s your homework: watch the YouTube of Steve Martin’s tribute to Paul Simon at the Kennedy Center in 2002.

It’s good humor and good music.

If the lawlessness associated with smuggling weren’t problematic enough, there are more troubles. The trade has also been associated with murder-forhire, corruption of and violence against police, brazen retail and wholesale theft of cigarettes, and even providing money for terrorists.

On July 25, a New Jersey man was charged with smuggling $9.5 million worth of cigarettes. He is accused of smuggling low-tax (30 cents per pack) Virginia cigarettes into the high-tax ($2.70 per pack) Garden State for resale. Late last year, a New Jersey corrections officer was sentenced to two years for his role in smuggling cigarettes into the Essex County Correctional Facility.

The lessons from these two New Jersey events should not be lost on policymakers. If officials can’t keep contraband smokes out of prisons, how could they possibly keep them from entering a state’s borders? If the proposed ballot initiative were approved, Colorado would have a tax rate nearly equal to New Jersey’s. It would also have all the smuggling related problems faced by law enforcement there.

Public policy decisions require tradeoffs. Raising taxes on a good, for example, will discourage its use (an intended consequence of taxing cigarettes, but a negative one in taxing income). But it could also incentivize illegal trafficking of that good. This illegal trafficking is an unintended and costly consequence of raising cigarette taxes. Colorado policymakers, and voters, should take these consequences into account when they are deciding how much to tax these goods.

Families on the fast track Drag racing offers ways for all ages to compete

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com

About 40,000 people in the world are licensed to compete in drag racing, and for many of them, racing is a family tradition.

The modern sport was established in 1951 and was designed for adult drivers. But the National Hot Rod Association looked into the future for drivers and expanded its reach to the younger generation by establishing junior dragster racing in 1991. About 3,000 young people are licensed junior dragster competitors.

Some metro-area families Families gather around the junior dragsters in the staging lanes during a June 24 event for the young drivers. Junior dragsters opened have two or three generations the sport to 5- to 17-year-olds making it more family friendly. In many cases, family members of junior dragsters also compete in the involved in the sport. sport. Photos by Tom Munds

The Bandimeres In the Denver area, the family drag racing tradition extends beyond the pits and the stands as Bandimere Speedway in Morrison, nicknamed Thunder Mountain, has been owned and operated by the family of the same name for 59 years.

John Bandimere Sr. established the track and his son John Bandimere Jr. ran it for many years. Now the track website lists track management as Tami Bandimere Shrader, president, her dad John Bandimere Jr. as chief spiritual officer and her brother John Bandimere III as general manager and vice president of marketing.

“I grew up at the track and did a lot of different jobs here with no real plans to make this a career,” Schrader said. “I graduated from high school, went to college for a year and then took secretarial courses at Barnes Business College.”

She said she did secretarial work for a couple different companies for about six years.

“I working for a company that was making cuts in 1987 when Dad called me,” the Littleton resident said. “He

said his secretary had just left the company and asked if I wanted the job. I took it and I have been here ever since.”

Shrader said her dad stressed family involvement and treating everyone through the gate as family members.

Her brother also didn’t plan to make a career of working in the family business.

“I went to college to study to be an accountant, then switched my major and completed my degree in management,” said John III, nicknamed Sporty. “Dad called and said he needed some help with our auto parts business so I joined the company in 1987 and I have been here ever since.”

He runs a lot of the operations but he also competes in the sport as he drives a jet dragster.

“I love being a part of the family business here at the track and I love the sport of drag racing,” the Lakewood resident said. “I went to college but Dad taught me a lot about how we should learn from our mistakes, try a different path and maybe hit a home run.”

Vicky Johnson sits in the staging lanes waiting to make a timing run in her dragster. The sport is a family affair for Vicky, her husband, her daughter and her son.

The Johnsons

John Bandimere III and his sister Tami Shrader smile for the camera in front of a funny car at Bandimere Speedway. The track is family owned and operated. The brother and sister now head the management team of the track started by their grandfather. It has been owned and operated by family members for the past 59 years.

The Johnson family of Arvada also is building a drag racing family tradition.

Vicky Johnson said she was watching her dad and her brothers compete in drag racing before she started driving.

“I just grew up with the sport as a spectator. But then I met my husband Steve, who is a drag racer.

One weekend he asked me if I wanted to try driving. I said yes. I loved it and I’ve been behind the wheel ever since,” she said. “Our kids grew up around drag racing

and they are now involved too.”

Vicky is now sharing her car with her 20-year-old daughter Bri. Vicki runs in the Fast 16 class and then, with a few changes, her daughter drives the car in the super comp class. The couple’s son Blake is 17 and racing for the final year in the junior dragsters, and his mother said he plans to complete the required classes and earn his license so he can begin competing along with his dad, mom and sister.

Owen Steirs, 8, sits in the staging lanes waiting his turn to make a timing run in his Captain America junior dragsters.

The Kaisers

Littleton resident Troy Kaiser, left, checks over the motor of his drag racer with the help of his dad, Junior.

Troy and his two sons are involved in drag racing competition and he said he loves the sport because he gets to spend time with his family, as they all enjoy the competition.

Drag racing is a family tradition for the Kaisers, with granddad, dad and sons all competing in the sport.

Troy Kaiser, a Littleton resident, followed in the footsteps of his dad, Junior, who drove in the 1960s and is still driving. Now, his sons are drivers.

He said the boys have sort of taken over all his spare time as both 13-year-old Landon and 11-year-old Branson are involved in football, basketball and drag racing.

“My most fun at this time in my life is being with my kids and supporting them in all they do,” he said when he joined his boys at the June 24-26 junior drag racing competition at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison.

Landon said he loves all sports and while drag racing is No. 1, football is like a No. 1A on his list of favorites.

“Drag racing is No. 1 because it is impossible to describe how much fun it is to be part of the sport, to get behind the wheel and go fast,” he said. “It is also special because I am able to be with my family as we all take part and share in the love of drag racing.”

The Steirs Drag racing is part of family life for the Steirs.

The Lakewood family spent the June 24-26 weekend at Bandimere Speedway so that Owen, 8, and Austin, 6, could take part in the Junior Dragster races.

Christy Steirs, the young drivers’ mother, said the boys spent a lot of weekends at the track because her husband and their uncle Roy Anderson are racing competitors.

“Now they are in junior dragsters,” she said.

Welch’s paintings record local scene Artist will have works displayed in Colorado Artfest show

IF YOU GO Cindy Welch will be among the many artists exhibiting work in the 2016 Colorado Artfest in downtown Castle Rock on Sept.

10 and 11. Hours: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sept.

10 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 11. Tickets cost $5 adults/$3 seniors/free 16 and under. Shuttle parking at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. No pets allowed.

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “My thing is color,” Castle Rock artist Cindy Welch states to open a conversation.

She has finished a new watercolor called “Perspective,” which shows the many hues visible in the huge face of Castle Rock’s namesake geological formation. On the very top are two figures who have made the climb up from the base — dwarfed by that enormous star.

Welch will have a booth in the 2016 Colorado Artfest on Sept. 10 and 11 in downtown Castle Rock — look for her display of bright, engaging watercolors and her related prints of historic buildings in Castle Rock, which portray favorite spots such as the Castle Café and Augustine Grill. This will be the 27th annual Artfest, a juried art show organized by the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce. It attracts more than 170 artists from across the country on the weekend after Labor Day. In addition to a great variety of art, there will be food and music, children’s activities and new this year: “The Rock After Dark VIP Event” from 6:30 to 10 p.m. will offer live music, food and more.

Welch is a Colorado native and has lived

Castle Rock watercolorist Cindy Welch will exhibit her work in the annual Artfest, Sept. 11 and 12 in downtown Castle Rock. Courtesy photo in Castle Rock for 25 years. A graduate of Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, she has worked for many years as a graphic artist and started “painting for fun” nine years ago. Now, she is best known for her paintings of local scenery and historic buildings. She appeals to the viewer with

vibrant color while retaining a level of realism, she says. Fascinated with Colorado history, she continues to add to her collection of images of local buildings.

She was recently recognized in Northlight Publishing’s annual edition of the “Splash” book series, featuring the best wa-

tercolor paintings from across the country.

Hers is the image of “Castle Rock Feed and Supply.” In January, she had a solo “Commissioner’s Choice” exhibit at Lone Tree Arts Center and in September, she will hang an exhibit in the Healing Arts Exhibit series at Castle Rock Adventist Hospital.

She paints slowly and carefully in her studio — from photographs she has taken — and is not involved in the current “Plein Air” craze. She works on one at a time, due to limited space — and has a number of prints made from each painting when it is completed. These offer an affordable way to enjoy a sun-lit picture in the office or home.

Welch will be Cherokee Ranch and Castle’s Artist-in-Residence in 2017 and looks forward to adding a series of scenes from that beautiful location to the one she has completed of the castle.

Student show explores archetypes Museum Outdoor Arts hosts Design and Build exhibition

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Archetype Revival” explores ways in which traditional archetypes can be reinvented — the theme for the 2016 class of nine Design and Build students at Museum Outdoor Arts this summer. Traditional archetypes can indeed be reinvented — and a group working together can do some really creative thinking and problem solving, both intellectually and technically.

“Original Forms and players are explored: from Tarot Card characters to classical Greek Theater. The Jungian Figures — from Hero to Trickster are also redefined …,” says the program.

The viewer is invited to reinvent as well.

Working under the direction of Master Artist Cory Gilstrap for eight weeks, the group of college-age artists created collaborative pieces, such as “Grizzly-Oscar,” which rears up to meet the visitor just inside the gallery doors.

Built on a taxidermist’s huge griz-

zly bear form, Oscar has a smile and a coat of cheerful plaid quilt scraps stitched together in lieu of a furry coat.

The group also built “Teacup Teddy,” a bit farther in, a more approachable, smaller teddy bear type which is made from broken china cups and saucers glued over a teddy form. One immediately starts forming ideas and words to talk about the contrast.

Along the walls are individual projects by each artist as well as more collaborative works: “Happy Weapons,” for example, features a group of weapons intended to kill, but delicately covered by beautiful silk flowers. Their statement comments, “By rendering the devices impractical, the piece highlights the true purpose of weaponry.”

A complex assemblage of traditional forms set on and around a mantel — and painted shades of gray — is called “The Collective Unconscious,” and the explanation refers to Carl Jung, who “theorized the human psyche as being comprised of archetypes — universal or mythic characters, images, patterns and symbols that are models of people, behaviors and personalities, which reside in the unconscious mind and are shared among all human be-

ings. The structure from which these archetypes arise is called the Collective Unconscious.”

Plan to allow some time to visit this engaging exhibit. One needs to circle around and make multiple visits to groups of objects and single items and contemplate the explanations given and their interrelationships.

The students involved are both local and from across the country: Alyssa Edmunds, Colen Hansen, Tiffany Matheson, Kalli Padgett, Travis Powell, Emma Scher, Brennan Turner, Amanda Vela and Natasha Vidger.

There is an exhibit by Design and Build alumni in the atrium: Lanka, Georges Loewenguth and Jesse Nickell.

“Grizzly-Oscar” turns the archetype of a grizzly bear on its head. It takes what can be a scary and dangerous wild animal and turns it into a big, lovable plush bear in the “Archetype Revival” exhibit that culminates the Design and Build students’ eight-week summer session. Photo by Tim Vacca

Don’t miss out on libraries’ 2016 Brew Tour County libraries partner with breweries to engage residents Staff report Douglas County Libraries will host its third annual Great Douglas County

Brew Tour during September, inviting Douglas County residents to experience their library in a fresh way. The libraries will partner with 10 craft breweries in the Castle Rock, Lone Tree, Parker and Highlands Ranch areas to promote local businesses and their products.

This year’s tour includes two new

breweries, both in Castle Rock — 105 West Brewing Company and Castle Rock Beer Company. The tour’s featured events happen each Wednesday in September, including beer-themed author events, live music, brew-inspired crafts, and, of course, tappings. DCL has also added a bonus Tuesday evening event this year, as well.

“September is a great time of year to be a craft-brew lover in Colorado,” said Kerri Morgan, program and events supervisor at DCL. “The number of stops on our Brew Tour has grown by more than 40 percent since the tour’s inception in 2014. We’re so fortunate to have such great places in Douglas County to enjoy these specialty brews.”

Joining the Brew Tour is free, requires visiting five of the 10 participating breweries during September to complete the Brew Tour passport, and entitles the holder of a completed passport to a commemorative pint glass courtesy of DCL. Several of the participating breweries will craft special, limited-edition brews to be tapped in September specifically for the library Brew Tour, including a Belgian Dubbel from Elk Mountain Brewing.

Library patrons can tap their creativity to help name these brews and win prizes, VIP treatment at the tapping parties, and library fame.

The naming contest is under way on the DCL Facebook page at Facebook. com/DouglasCountyLibrariesColorado through Aug. 28.

The Great Douglas County Brew Tour is Douglas County Libraries’ contribution to Outside the Lines, an annual Colorado library-led initiative to reintroduce libraries to their communities in creative and innovative ways.

More than 170 libraries across the globe will participate in Outside the Lines during September.

Participating breweries include: Castle Rock · 105 West Brewing Company - 1043 Park St., Castle Rock · Castle Rock Beer Company - 514 Perry St., Castle Rock · Rockyard Brewing Company - 880

Food

Continued from Page 1

Mike Boyle, who hosts restaurant-themed radio shows in Colorado Springs and Denver, has served as co-organizer of the event since its inception.

“John DeLay and I started this 15 years ago,” Boyle said.

“About 15 years ago, we were looking around and it dawned on us that there really wasn’t a good food festival in the Castle Rock area.”

Boyle said he and DeLay, who owns Pegasus Restaurant in Castle Rock, saw the growth in the area as an indicator that the time was ripe for just such a festival, but the community’s response was something even they hadn’t anticipated.

“The first year, we hoped to have a thousand people,” Boyle said. “We had 2,500.”

These days, the festival limits tickets to the first 2,200 takers.

“If we had any more people,” Boyle said, “the building would come down.”

DeLay and Boyle worked in tandem to keep the event running smoothly. DeLay could be seen darting from station to station checking in with vendors, while Boyle worked the crowd and emceed the proceedings, including a cook-

August 25, 2016 ing competition, won by Adam Freisem, the chef de cuisine at Castle Rock Adventist Hospital.

DeLay said Boyle described Boyle as “the big brother I never had, and I’m the little brother he never had.”

Festival food ranged from domestic favorites like meats from Dickey’s Barbecue Pit and biscuits and gravy from the Black-Eyed Pea to exotic fare like saag paneer from India’s Castle and libations from Imperial Beer of Costa Rica.

Susie Watkins, who drove from Genesee for the event, said the wide array of exhibitors and the price of admission, $20 at the door and $10 advance, impressed her.

“That’s a lot of food for $10, and really interesting variety” Watkins said. “I’m entranced by the people actually making all of that stuff and bringing it in.”

According to Boyle, bringing Douglas County residents together with the various establishments in the area was always the point.

“The whole idea behind this is to focus attention on the great food service establishments that Douglas County has to offer,” Boyle said. “And it becomes a great opportunity for people … The idea is to have a little bit of synergy here, and it seems to have worked out well.”

Red skies at night Centennial Airport, emergency responders train for worst-case scenario

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Thick clouds of oily black smoke billowed from the Centennial Airport airfield on the night of Aug. 16, illuminated by the flashing red and blue lights of 35 ambulances and fire engines responding to the scene.

But it was all part of the plan.

The South Metro Fire Rescue Authority and Centennial Airport, partnering with the Cunningham Fire Protection District, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, Action Care Ambulance and the Federal Aviation Administration, began three nights of emergency training simulations on Tuesday, preparing responders and airport personnel for a worst case scenario — a crash with two burning planes and injured victims scattered throughout the area.

“We find it’s absolutely vital to practice theses skills in a realistic environment,” said Eric Hurst, public information officer for the South Metro Fire Protection District. “To have a scenario at night, where it’s confusing to responders coming on scene and to have the smoke… it literally tests every piece of training firefighters receive.”

At approximately 8:30 p.m., a call went out to participating responders who arrived to find two defunct airplane fuselages, set ablaze with kerosene. High winds fanned the flames and swirled smoke around the site, obscuring visibility and complicating communication.

After water trucks extinguished the flames, firefighters searched the smoldering wreckage and an adjacent ravine for “survivors” made up with realistic mock injuries and transported

them to awaiting ambulances and an AirLife helicopter.

Centennial Airport isn’t a commercial airport and isn’t required to do preparedness trainings such as these.

But Public Information Officer Deborah Grigsby Smith said the exercises are important to ensuring efficient teamwork if an emergency arises.

“We train on a regular basis to make sure our skills are up to par, so does South Metro, so does law enforcement,” Grigsby Smith said. “What’s really great about a full-scale exercise like this is we all get to come together and test those skills. Something like this forces all of those agencies to come together and to work quickly and efficiently and, sometimes, instantly.”

The airport’s west runway was shut down to allow space for the training, and surrounding residents were alerted to the activity ahead of time via social media and road signs along E-470 and Arapahoe Road. Though Hurst said authorities “tried all the angles” to prevent unnecessary alarm, the smoke carried far enough that a resident in Parker’s Cottonwood neighborhood called 911.

“They did the right thing,” Hurst said.

The entire exercise lasted just under an hour between fires being lit and a “tailboard-after-action review,” a meeting at the scene for responders to speak openly about what went well and what didn’t while the incident is fresh in everyone’s minds.

“Everything went according to how our policies and procedures work,” Hurst said.

Hurst, who observed the exercise from across the ravine, said he was as impressed with the training’s realistic feel as he was with the successful outcome.

“Very few of our trainings are quite as real as this one looked,” he said. “I was thinking: ‘Wow, we just hit this one out of the park.’ ”

Responders from the Cunningham Fire Protection District, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office and several other goverment agencies participated in the realistic training exercise.

5 DOG FACTS

1. Dogs see in color, but not the same way that we do. Veterinary ophthalmologists have found that dogs are similar to people with red/green color blindness, meaning they can see bluish and greenish shades but not reddish ones.

2. According to a recent survey, the most popular name for a dog is Max. Other popular names include Molly, Sam, Zach, and Maggie.

3. An estimated 1 million dogs in the United States have been named the primary beneficiary in their owner’s will.

4. Contrary to popular belief, dogs do not sweat by salivating.

They sweat through the pads of their feet.

5. Every known dog, except the chow, has a pink tongue - a chow’s tongue is black.

5 CAT FACTS 1. Cats can see color. Studies have shown that cats can distinguish between red and green; red and blue; red and gray; green and blue; green and gray; blue and gray; yellow and blue, and yellow and gray.

2. A cat sees about 6 times better than a human at night.

3. A cat uses its whiskers as feelers to determine if a space is too small to squeeze through.

4. A cat can be either right-pawed or left-pawed.

5. A cat can jump as much as 7 times its height.

Keeping your

DOG

fit and healthy!

Article by Brandpoint For pet owners and their four-legged friends, interacting with other dogs provides great opportunities for exercise and socialization. Whether it’s playing at the dog park, hiking through the woods, strolling around town or making new friends at doggy daycare, these activities can improve your dog’s mental and physical well-being. They can also put your dog at risk for exposure to health threats.

An ounce of prevention...

“We all love getting out of the house with our furry friends but it’s important to remember that serious danger lurks in the grass, community water bowl or, if you travel with your dog, in another city,” advises Julia Szabo, pet lifestyle expert. “With the right knowledge, advice from your trusted veterinarian and some simple preventive measures, it’s easy to keep your dog happy and healthy.”

What pet owners need to know to protect their dogs: • Ensure your dog’s vaccinations are up to date.

•Always discuss your pet’s lifestyle with your veterinarian to identify potential health risks and preventive measures.

•Remember to mention travel if your dog goes on the road with you, as other areas of the country may represent different health threats than what you face at home.

•Keep your pet away from wild animals, as they often carry disease, and don’t allow your dog to drink from unclean water sources given that certain diseases can be spread there.

• Check regularly for ticks, which will help reduce the risk of disease transmission. Lyme disease, for example, can impact your pet’s health, as well as your own.

• Fleas don’t just live on your pet; they also live in your home. Vacuuming thoroughly can kill fleas and remove their eggs, helping you stop infestations. After vacuuming, seal the vacuum bag in a garbage bag and discard it in an outdoor trash container.

“Fleas and ticks are year-round hazards in many areas of the country, so it’s critical to talk to your veterinarian about choosing the right product to protect your pets from these parasites and keep them out of homes,” recommends Szabo. “BRAVECTO (fluralaner) is the only oral chew to deliver flea and tick protection to dogs for up to 12 full weeks. Bravecto kills fleas, prevents flea infestations, and kills ticks (black-legged tick, American dog tick, and brown dog tick) for 12 weeks.

It also kills lone star ticks for 8 weeks.”

Canine Influenza: An increasing health threat You can get the flu but did you know your dog can as well? It’s called canine influenza (CIV) - or dog flu - and cases of it have been popping up all over the country. In fact, canine influenza has impacted dogs in more than half the country - just since March 2015 - and new cases are being diagnosed every week.

“I’ve seen the devastating impact of CIV first hand - both on a dog’s health and the emotional toll it takes on owners,” said veterinarian Natalie Marks, DVM, and co-owner of the Blum Animal Hospital in Chicago. “When CIV H3N2 broke in our area, we were seeing upwards of 15 cases a day at times and were scrambling to stop the spread of this very contagious disease. Now we know what we are dealing with and are able to protect at-risk dogs through vaccination and other measures. I strongly recommend that pet owners with dogs that are social and regularly commingle with other dogs speak to their veterinarian now about what is right for their pet and to fully understand what puts a dog at risk for CIV.” If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, talk with your veterinarian to determine whether CIV vaccination is appropriate for your dog.

To learn more about protection against CIV, fleas and ticks, and other pet wellness topics, please visit MyPet.com.

There are two strains of canine influenza present in the dog population - H3N8 and H3N2, the latter is an Asian strain of CIV and is brand new in the United States. Because CIV is so contagious, infection can spread quickly among social dogs.

Vaccinating for both strains of CIV and minimizing exposure to potential risk factors are critical to protecting your pet.

Know your dog’s risk. Does your dog: • Play at dog parks?

• Visit doggie day care?

• Board or stay at a pet hotel?

• Visit a groomer?

• Attend dog shows or other social events with dogs?

•Greet other dogs during walks?

“

If I mess up, it will be over his head and on the ground.”

Steven Green, Ponderosa long snapper

For skilled specialists, it’s a snap High school football long snappers face pressure to deliver

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com While their teammates vie for accolades and adoration, long snappers typically only draw attention when a snap goes astray.

“Once you mess up, people start talking about you,” said long snapper Steven Green, a Ponderosa senior.

Long snappers center and deliver the football over longer distances to punters and holders for extra points and field goals.

They have joined punters and placekickers as specialists on teams.

“Our position is kind of weird,” Green said. “The whole team will be together doing one thing, and three of our positions will be on the sidelines. We’ll do our own little thing by ourselves. We don’t do everything with everybody else.

“If I mess up, it will be extremely bad.

I’m in a more pressure position as in gamewinning field goal kicks or punts that could determine if they score again. If I mess up, it will be over his head and on the ground.

If the center messes up, the quarterback can pick it up and make a play out of it.”

Long snapping has become a more recognized asset for teams in recent years and there are several national camps available for players to fine-tune their skills. Major college coaches are looking to secure good

OUTLOOK Most area teams play their first game of the season on Sept. 1 or 2. Teams will play state playoff games in 16-team brackets starting Nov. 3. Championship games in 3A, 4A and 5A will be Dec. 3. The 4A and 5A title games will be a Sports Authority Field at Mile High.

high school long snappers. Division I powers Ohio State, Alabama and Notre Dame offered scholarships to long snappers over the past two years.

“Long snappers are important because they have the ability in one play to change

field position,” Lakewood coach Jeff Braun said. “It is a skill that not very many have.

You need someone who can snap and block simultaneously. I usually get a linebacker/fullback who can run and cover.”

There are quality long snappers in Colorado high school football who are drawing interest because of their quick, accurate long snaps and ability to get down field to cover punts.

Green is small for someone who plays on the line, at 5 feet 8, 175 pounds, but he has a chance to play at the next level because of his unique skill.

“I’ve been coming to camps, watching videos, I’ve got a private coach and have Snap continues on Page 25

League alignments shake up tradition Many rivals will no longer be in the same conference

By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com High school football leagues have been realigned for the next two seasons, and many schools will be playing in new classifications and traveling to some unfamiliar territory.

There will be 42 teams each in Class 5A, 4A and 3A with seven new conferences in each classification formed on an alignment based on the average computer ranking — or Ratings Percentage Index — from the past two seasons.

There will be several non-familiar schools playing conference games against each other, which could make non-league games more attractive.

“The new league alignments will put a strain on attendance at games,” Highlands Ranch coach Mark Robinson said.

“However, it will be good to face teams that are competitive from other areas around the state.”

Westminster coach Kerry Denison agrees that game attention could shrink.

“The new league alignments will destroy lower-income school programs,” he said.

Castle View coach Dustin Pfeiffer said rivalries in the new alignments will be lost, although teams could still schedule non-league contests against rival schools.

“The RPI system is a year away from being accurate but going to this system loses what is great about high school football,” said Pfeiffer, whose team opens the season Sept. 2 against Castle Rock rival Douglas County High School, though the teams are no longer in the same conference. “We have lost great conference traditions and as they change from cycle to cycle, you lose the natural conference rivalries.

“I am not sure how our supporters

REALIGNMENT For a list of teams in each league, go to http://chsaanow.com/alignment/football-2016-2017/

would feel if we were to travel to Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins for a conference title game as opposed to playing a crosstown rival for a crosstown title. It will be interesting to see how this develops over the years.”

That’s an opinion expressed by several coaches.

“I do not like that the leagues are no longer geographical and non-league games mean more to our student body than league games,” Rock Canyon coach Brian Lamb said.

Heritage dropped from 5A and will play in the 4A Plains League.

“We will line up, kick off and compete

against whoever they tell us to,” Eagles coach Tyler Knoblock said. “We are just very excited to get to be playing again soon.”

Class 3A, 4A and 5A will have 10 regular-season games, with 16 teams in each division qualifying for the state playoffs, which will begin Nov. 12. Last season, there were 32 Class 5A teams that advanced to the playoffs.

League winners automatically gain a spot in the playoffs and the nine teams that do not win conference titles will advance to the playoffs determined by their RPI rankings.

“The good thing is the right teams are going to get into the playoffs,” said Valor Christian coach Rod Sherman. “There was some discomfort with 5A being 32 teams and all the others being 16 teams.”

“To go to 16 teams, the only fair way to do it was to adjust the leagues where all of the top teams are spread out.

What’s gone are natural rivalries, but you have five non-conference games.”

Continental League tees off for season Heritage junior top individual, while Regis wins team competition

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Heritage junior Sam Blackwood had a good afternoon putting.

Jackson Crist of Highlands Ranch kept the ball in the fairways.

Douglas County’s David Roney saw the extra work on his driving pay off.

Those three players had the top scores in the Aug. 18 Continental League golf tournament at South

Suburban Golf Course in Centennial.

Blackwood was the medalist with a 2-under-par 70 “I putted pretty well, got off to a good start and made a few birdies,” Blackwood said. “I made five birdies.

Everything was in sync. There were no bad shots. I hit the ball well.”

Crist, a senior, bogeyed the 18th hole but finished with an even-par 72 following an impressive approach shot than wound up a foot from the cup.

“On the front nine, I started off birdie, birdie,” Crist said. “I had four bogeys in the round and I made three birdies on the back nine but bogeyed my last hole. I didn’t miss a lot of fair-

ways. I didn’t make any big numbers.”

Roney, also a senior, finished with a 1-over-par 73.

“I’ve been working on my drives and I kept it in the fairway,” Roney said.

Regis Jesuit was first in the team standings with a four-player total of 302 strokes.

Heritage was second at 304, led by Blackwood. Also for Heritage, Ryan Way had a round of 75, Jordan Phong 77 and Cam Jajaj an 82.

Mountain Vista placed third with a consistent showing led by Nick Kim’s 3-over-par 75. Chris Rapp shot 77, Evan Wilkinson 78 and Elisandro Aragon 79.

Lakewood coach works hard to get back on the right track Jeff Braun’s wheelchair is unoccupied these days.

The Lakewood head football and assistant track coach is walking around during practice.

“I am happy to be walking and not have a lot of pain in Jim Benton my knees,” Braun said.

OVERTIME Braun, who enjoyed an active athletic career in the 1980s, had a grueling, eight-month battle to come back from knee-replacement surgery on both knees in December of 2015.

His recovery went well — maybe too well. He re-injured his rebuilt left knee while working out, and an infection

Braun’s recovery went well — maybe too well. He re-injured his rebuilt left knee while working out, and an infection developed in the spring. developed in the spring.

“All of a sudden that knee changed and my wife (Lisa) could tell something else was wrong,” Braun said.

He had emergency surgery to get rid of the infection.

“I was in a wheelchair for 10 weeks and on intravenous antibiotics for six weeks to get rid of the infection,” Braun said. “I coached the track team from the wheelchair and started out summer football workouts in a wheelchair. In mid-June after making sure the infection was gone, they put in a new knee again.

“Since then I have been rehabbing and working hard to get back to normal.

I missed about a week of football right after my surgery in June but have been at practice since then and I am feeling pretty good now.”

Participation gains short yardage Concerns over the risk of concussion have left many to wonder about the future of football. But a national survey conducted by the National Federation of State High School Associations revealed a slight participation increase from 2014 to 2015.

There were 24 states, including Colorado, that had an increase in 11-man football, according to the NFHS report

compiled from across the nation. When combining boys and girls participation in 6-man, 8-man, 9-man, girls and 11-player football in 2015, the combined numbers nationally increased by 138 from 1,114,253 in 2014 to 1,114,391.

Colorado doesn’t sanction 9-man football so the combined participation for three divisions in 2014 was 16,272 compared to 16,884 last season. In 11man football Colorado’s participation numbers increased from 14,952 two years ago to 15,705 in the 2015 season.

According to Colorado High School Activities Association figures, there was a decline of 470 total participants from 2013 to 2014 and 287 players from 2012 to 2013.

However, there hasn’t been a lot of fluctuation over the past six seasons in Benton continues on Page 24

Forward momentum Momentum Athletic Center brings family approach to gymnastics

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Parents of budding gymnasts can tell you the biggest investment they and their children make is time: Children in gymnastics programs can spend anywhere from an hour per week for children in recreational programs to 18 hours for those on the Junior Olympic track.

It’s demanding for children. And it can be challenging for parents to spend so much time at the gym.

Shannon Fox, one of six owners of Momentum Athletic Center in Parker, said she and the other owners had that in mind when they came up with the idea for their new gym, Momentum Athletic Center, which opened in June.

“It was super-important for us that it was like a `second-home’ environment,” Fox said. “We really wanted to think about the parents. We thought if we could hire the right coaches and the right staff that would take care of the business side of things, but we wanted to make a comfortable place for parents to spend multiple hours a week.”

Addressing the “business side,” the center’s first hire was their director of operations, Michael Monti. Monti has been coaching gymnastics for 25 years and won the United States Gymnastics Association’s Compulsory Coach of the Year Award in 2015.

Benton Continued from Page 23

Colorado’s football participation numbers.

“We have remained flat and I believe we could see some falling off as people react to the concussion/head injury concerns,” said CHSAA Associate Commissioner Bert Borgmann. “What is important is that we continue to work with schools and coaches on proper techniques. Colorado has always been at the forefront of keeping the head out of football.”

“I really enjoy developing the mental side of the program, a program that gets them physically, mentally and psychologically ready to compete at 7 years old,” Monti said.

Hannah Bower, a three-time state champion and a member of the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame, leads the girls’ teams at Momentum, and Brian Spies, a competitive gymnast until he turned 12, directs the recreational program.

Response has been “overwhelming,” according to Monti.

The center enrolled its first 50 families before its opening, practicing in parks in the area until the building was ready. Momentum has between 180 and 190 students as of August, but the goal is to reach 700.

The facility offers two team programs for competitive gymnasts, the USAG Team and the XCEL Team, but there are a host of recreational classes for children, and even some for parents to take with their children.

“All of our programs are equal in our eyes,” Monti said.

Considering that Momentum was created by three families with children in competitive programs and with the buzz about the Olympic Games in Rio, it raises the question of whether the gym’s founders hope to see a former student on an Olympic podium one day.

“No,” said co-owner Kevin Warr, with a smile.

“We don’t have any delusions that we’re going to create an Olympic athlete here,” he said. “But what we do want is for every child to achieve their personal capability.”

Valor names new baseball coach Valor Christian Athletic Director Jamie Heiner didn’t have to look far during his search for a new baseball coach to replace Keith Wahl.

Brian Bonn, an assistant baseball coach for the past nine seasons at Valor, has accepted the position as the Eagles’ head coach.

“I am excited to step into this new role and look forward to continuing the traditions that make Valor baseball such a special program,” Bonn said.

Valor won the Class 4A state championship in the spring.

been working hard at it,” Green said. “That’s what I like to specialize in. Last year I was one of the top in the state with the fastest times and perfect snaps every single time.”

Valor Christian’s Devin Noth, a 6-3, 205-pound senior, is a 5-star Division I prospect and is the fifthranked high school long snapper in ratings used by college coaches that are compiled by Chris Sailer kicking and Chris Rubio long-snapping camps.

“There are more and more camps to help with recruiting with long snappers,” Noth

said. “All during youth league, I played as a lineman. Freshman year I wasn’t starting as a lineman but was starting as a long snapper. I realized I was OK at that and started improving and working on long snapping. Over the course of that next year, it became a specialty to me. Next thing I knew, I was a long snapper only and working with the kickers every day at practice.

“The things a lot of people look at are speed and accuracy. There are a lot of other factors too. If a college coach sees you and you can snap it faster and more accurate than any other guy, they will take you. But you need a nice spiral on the ball. So having good form, and what your coach wants either blocking or running down the field to make a tackle is important.”

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF AUGUST 22, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A troubling situation takes a positive turn and moves toward a resolution that should please you and your supporters.

Meanwhile, make time to deal with new domestic issues.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good time to reassess your goals and consider shifting directions. Remember to keep an open mind, and be prepared to make changes as new opportunities arise.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Rely on your strong Mercury aspect to help you close that communication gap before it becomes too wide to cross. A sibling or other family member has news.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re about to get off that emotional roller coaster and start experiencing more stability than you’ve been used to.

This is a good time to let someone new into your life.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Good news: A trusted friend comes through for you. But you still need to shed that last scrap of self-doubt and once more become the cool, confident Cat we all know and love.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Things should be getting back to a less hectic pace. Enjoy the more peaceful atmosphere. You earned it. But don’t forget about those still-unresolved issues.

© 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A more positive family relationship develops as misunderstandings are explained away. A job situation appears promising, but check it out before you act on it.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Congratulations. That on-the-job situation is working out as you’d hoped. Now’s a good time to relax and to enjoy the company of family and close friends.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You might feel as if you’re caught in an emotional tug-of-war. But don’t be rushed into a decision on either side. Wait for more facts before you act.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The Goat’s usually high level of self-confidence is brimming over these days. This should help you deal with a situation that you’ve avoided for far too long. Go for it.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Relationships become more intense. But be careful not to be pushed into decisions you’re not comfortable with. Remember: You’re the one in charge of your life.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You need to show more confidence in your ability to reach your goals. Make that long-delayed decision, and avoid floundering around in a sea of self-doubt.

BORN THIS WEEK: Although you appear to be strongly opinionated, you can also be open to other ideas -- so long as they are presented with logic and clarity. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Sources: The sources set forth in the previous diligence decree entered in Case No. 07-CW-201 are as follows: 3.4.1. Aurora’s water service system includes the following features: 3.4.1.1. Aurora either individ-ually or in cooperation with others is the owner of numerous water rights, water diversion and storage facilities that either arise in or are located within the South Platte River Basin, including the Cherry Creek Well Field described in paragraph 2.1.1., above. The Cherry Creek Well Field is the “exchange to” upstream point for diversion of water for some of the exchanges described in paragraph 3.3., above. The seven tributary wells of the Cherry Creek Well Field were adjudicated in Douglas County District Court, Civil Action No. 3635 on May 18, 1972, appropriation date November 15, 1955. These wells are also named in Case No. 2001-CW-284 (approval of plan for augmentation, new appropriative rights of exchange and water storage rights) decreed on December 4, 2007 for the Upper Cherry Creek Water Users Association (“UCCWA”), to which Aurora is a member. 3.4.1.2. Aurora is also the owner of numerous water rights and water diversion and storage facilities that either arise in or are located within the Colorado and Arkansas River Basins. Water from the Colorado River Basin rights and facilities flows through and, from time to time is stored in, facilities located within the Arkansas River Basin. Water from the Arkansas River Basin rights and facilities and water from the Colorado River Basin rights and facilities brought to the Arkansas River Basin is conveyed by the Otero Pipeline from either Twin Lakes Reservoir or the Otero Pump Station to Aurora’s storage and diversion facilities within the South Platte River Basin.

3.4.1.3. Aurora’s raw water supplies from the South Platte, Arkansas, and Colorado River Basins are conveyed through a system of pipelines and reservoirs from its main intake to treatment, storage and distribution facilities located within the City. Those treatment, storage and distribution facilities also receive water from Aurora’s Cherry Creek Well Field. After treatment, water is distributed to customers of the Aurora municipal water system. 3.4.1.4. A por-tion of Aurora’s municipal customers are located within the Shop Creek, Sand Creek, Cherry Creek, Tollgate Creek, Westerly Creek and First Creek drainage basins. A portion of the treated water supplied to customers within these drainage basins is used for lawn irrigation purposes. A certain increment of the water applied for lawn irrigation purposes in these drainage basins either runs off directly to the streams or percolates into the soil and migrates into the ground water of the stream alluviums. This surface runoff to the streams and groundwater flow in the stream alluvium are either made available for reuse by the Prairie Waters Project described in paragraph 4.2.3.4., below, and returned to either the Aurora Sand Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant or the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District as described in paragraphs 2.2.1. and 2.2.2., respectively, or returned to Cherry Creek Reservoir as described in paragraph 2.1.2. 3.4.1.5.

Effluent from Aurora’s municipal sanitary sewage system, which effluent is the result of water supplied by Aurora, is presently treated at either the City’s Sand Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, which outfall is located on Sand Creek, tributary to the South Platte River, as described in paragraph 2.2.1., or at the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District (formerly known as the Metropolitan Denver Sewage Disposal District No. 1) wastewater treatment plant, which outfall is located on the main stem of the South Platte River just above its confluence with Sand Creek, as described in paragraph 2.2.2. 3.4.2. Sources of reusable water for exchange: The sources of reusable water available for the subject exchanges are (1) Aurora’s fully consumable water sources from

This agreement affects operations of the Homestake water rights and deliveries of reusable water to Aurora for use in the exchanges herein. On January 5, 2010, the City of Aurora entered into a Consolidated Water Exchange Agreement to supplement, merge and consolidate the 1998 and 2004 agreements. Aurora seeks to further maximize the operations of the Homestake water rights with these projects. 4.2.2.3. Homestake Project: During this diligence period, work was done on the Homestake Diversion Channel to reduce erosion, including riprap and installation of a new roadway culvert. Additionally, Homestake Reservoir underwent resurfacing and improvement. Once water is transported over the Continental Divide through the Otero Pump Station and Homestake Pipeline, it is then transported to Spinney Mountain Reservoir in the South Platte Basin. 4.2.2.4. During this diligence period, Aurora prosecuted Case No. 2009-CW-17, Water Division 5. On October 10, 2010, the Division 5 Water Court entered a decree confirming diligence and continuing in effect the conditional water rights originally decreed in Case No. 98-CW-270, which comprise part of the Homestake Project. 4.2.2.5. During this diligence period, Aurora has negotiated and executed a Recovery Action Plan Participation Agreement with the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, and a Ruedi Insurance Water Cost Participation Agreement with the City and County of Denver. The purpose of these agreements is to mitigate the impacts of transmountain diversions to Colorado’s front range in order to support the Recovery Implementation Program for Endangered Fish Species in the Upper Colorado River Basin.

4.2.3. South Platte River Basin: Aurora made the following diligent efforts with regard its water supply system components in the South Platte River Basin which are necessary for continuation of its reusable supplies from the South Platte River Basin. 4.2.3.1. Griswold Water Treatment Plant Renovations: This facility treats a portion of the raw water before it is delivered to Aurora’s customers. Over $1,570,000 was spent by Aurora during this diligence period for improvements to this facility. 4.2.3.2.

Wemlinger Water Treatment Plant Expansion: During this diligence period, Aurora spent over $24,914,000 on expansion of the Wemlinger Water Treatment Plant. 4.2.3.3. Automated Meter Reading System: Aurora spent more than $7,085,000 during this diligence period for conversion of its manual utility reading system to a fully automated system. 4.2.3.4. Prairie Waters Project: The Prairie Waters Project is a large comprehensive water recapture, supply, storage and treatment project which in part recovers reusable return flows from Aurora’s water sources from the South Platte River. To facilitate this project Aurora obtained various decrees in Case Nos. 06-CW-104, 03CW-414, and 03-CW-415, Water Division 1. This project allows further reuse of much of the water decreed to Aurora. Reuse water recovered by this project is one of the sources at Aurora’s wastewater treatment plants for replacement under the exchanges at issue here. Aurora has expended significant sums on the construction of several elements of the Prairie Waters Project during this diligence period. 4.2.3.5. South Platte Exchange: On September 22, 2013, Aurora obtained a decree in Case No. 08-CW-253, Water Division 1, granting a finding of reasonable diligence and making absolute portions of conditional exchange rights. These water rights allow Aurora to exchange certain reusable water from the confluence of Tarryall Creek and the South Platte River to Spinney Mountain Reservoir. 4.2.3.6. Walker Everist Exchange: On April 28, 2016, Aurora obtained a decree in Case No. 07-CW-298, Water Division 1, granting conditional appropriative rights of exchange from two reservoir sites located in Weld County upstream of two existing reservoirs, one on the main stem of the South Platte (Strontia Springs Reservoir) and the other on Cherry Creek (Cherry Creek Reservoir). One exchange originates from the Walker Reservoir Complex and the second exchange originates from the Everist Reservoir Complex. 4.2.3.7. Binney Water Purification Facility: This state-ofthe-art water purification and recycling plant owned and operated by Aurora treats water for use throughout the city. Over $4,500,000 was spent by Aurora during the diligence period for improvements to this facility. 4.2.4 Non-Basin Specific: 4.2.4.1. Integrated Water Master Plan: Aurora updates this plan every five years as part of its inclusive overall planning process. This plan is separate and distinct from the Water System Master Plan identified in paragraph 4.2.4.2. below. Aurora expended over $3,197,000 during the subject diligence period on this effort. 4.2.4.2. Water System Master Plan: Aurora updates its Master Plan every five years to identify water storage, transmission, and pumping system improvements needed to meet future growth. Aurora expended over $93,287 during the subject diligence period on this effort. 4.2.5. Legal Fees for System Enlargement: During the diligence period Aurora expended over $909,000 in legal fees for developing additional water sources for its system. 4.2.6. Protection Efforts: During the diligence period, Aurora spent more than $936,000 for legal services for participation in Water Divisions 1, 2 and 5 cases to protect the rights and interests of Aurora with regard to its water supply system, including the subject exchanges. 4.3.

Other: Aurora reserves the right to identify additional relevant efforts that may be later discovered or to make upward adjustments to amounts expended on certain projects. Aurora has an extensive water rights portfolio, an extensive and complex water supply, collection, treatment and reuse system, and an extensive number of agreements, contracts, leases, etc. related to its facilities and the use, reuse and storage of its water rights. Aurora is involved in many legal actions related to the collection, treatment, reuse and protection of its water rights. Further, the management, protection, and operation of the water rights and the facilities system involve numerous City of Aurora departments and staff members throughout the state. Aurora made diligent efforts with regard to this Application to determine and quantify all efforts made by the City toward completion of the appropriations and application of the water rights decreed in consolidated Case Nos. 95-CW-226 and 95-CW-227 to beneficial use. However, it is reasonably possible that relevant efforts or expenditures may have been overlooked or need further upward adjustment. WHEREFORE, Aurora respectfully requests the Court find Aurora has complied with the terms and conditions of the original decree in consolidated Cases Nos. 95-CW-226 and 95-CW-227 and find diligence in the development of the appropriative rights of exchange not previously made absolute, and continue the conditional decree for said exchanges and remaining conditional amounts for the statutory period.

Aurora further requests that this Court also grant such additional relief that the Court deems necessary and appropriate to further the purposes of the appropriations herein requested.

Summary of Application: Englewood is a municipal corporation of the State of Colorado. Englewood owns and operates municipal water and sewer utility systems for the benefit of its citizens, and for the provision of water and sewer service contracts. This application claims diligence for two conditional appropriative rights of exchange that Englewood operates to make its water rights decreed for diversion from the Ranch Creek System in Grand County available for use within its municipal water system. While not part of the original decree for the conditional exchanges in W-8456-76, the following matrix summarizes the exchange reaches. All values are in cfs, and those portions of the exchanges that are either absolute in part or conditional in whole are described as such: [The original application contains a summary of exchanges in table format that could not be replicated in the resume and that is available on request to applicant]. 3. Names of Exchanges: South Platte Exchange and Williams Fork Exchange 4. Date of Original Decree: The exchanges were originally decreed in Case No. W-8456-76 on July 1, 1983 and were made partially absolute in Case No. 87CW124. The water court decreed diligence for the remaining conditional rights of exchange in Case No. 93CW062 and in Case No. 01CW215, as more specifically described below. 5. Description of the Conditional Water Rights: Englewood uses the exchanges decreed in W-845676 (“Subject Exchanges”) to deliver its Ranch Creek System water rights from Grand County for use within the service areas of Englewood and Centennial Water and Sanitation District.

ficial use by Englewood for its water supply, and that of its water customers for domestic, irrigation. and other municipal purposes. vii. Place of Use or Proposed Use of Conditional Rights: The water diverted by exchange will be used within the service areas of Englewood and/or Centennial Water and Sanitation District any lands to which Englewood provides water for municipal purposes under an existing or future contract of supply. 6. Provide a detailed outline of what has been done toward completion or for completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures: Pursuant to the Decree issued in Case No. 01CW215, the Subject Exchanges are part of an extensive unified system for the collection, treatment and distribution of water operated by Englewood for its customers. The operation of the Subject Exchanges is not only dependent upon Englewood’s demand and stream exchange potential available, but is also affected by the yield of other water rights and exchanges currently operated by Englewood. The existence of these water rights and exchanges is necessary in order to allow Englewood to plan for growth and to maintain flexibility and reliability in its water supply system.

Therefore, for the purpose of showing diligence as to the appropriative rights of exchange originally decreed in W-8456-76 and most recently granted a finding of reasonable diligence in Case No. 01CW215, diligence as to any part of Englewood’s water rights system used to operate or benefit from these exchanges shall be diligence as to the completion of the Subject Exchanges. During the diligence period of 2010 to the present, in continuing the development of the Subject Exchanges, Englewood has undertaken significant efforts on various components of its unified water system. Activities that have been performed toward completion of the appropriation and application of the Subject Exchanges to beneficial use are described below. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. a.

Englewood has expended over $440,000 repairing the Meadow Creek Valve House and on engineering support for the Meadow Creek outlet, each of which are part of Englewood’s Ranch Creek system and the source of substitute supply for the Subject Exchanges. b. Englewood has expended over $400,000.00 on various water diversion, measurement, and distribution system improvements. These include improvements to various ditches, wells, pumps, pipes, and flume and gulches, including expenditures of more that $200,000.00 to improve the City Ditch, which is an exchange-to point for this application. c. Englewood has expended over $225,000.00 in connection with improvements to McLellan Reservoir and associated facilities, which is an exchange-to point for this application. d. Englewood has expended in excess of $20,000.00 on improvements to its Union Avenue Intake and Pump Station, which is an exchangeto location for this application; e. Englewood is implementing an ultraviolet disinfection system at the Allen Filter Plant with costs expended during the diligence period in excess of $3,600,000.00. f.

Throughout the diligence period, Englewood has engaged water resource engineers to protect and enhance Englewood’s water rights and has participated in numerous Water Court cases to protect the quality and quantity of the water rights decreed in W-8456-76 and its other water rights, from injury by other parties. Englewood has filed diligence applications on other conditional decrees which are part of its integrated system. WHEREFORE, Englewood respectfully requests that this Court enter Findings of Fact and a Decree of Reasonable Diligence for 47 cfs of the South Platte Exchange and 95 cfs of the Williams Fork Exchange, continuing these conditional water rights in full force and effect.

Expansion makes STEM school K-12 The Highlands Ranch school now serves all grades on one campus

STEM School and Academy opened its elementary wing on Aug. 9. The school’s enrollment is now more than 1,500, which makes pick-up and drop-off along Barrons Boulevard busier than ever. Photo by Alex DeWind

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lori Kingman has a son in sixth grade at STEM School and Academy. As of last week, her daughter, who’s in fourth grade, also attends the Highlands Ranch charter school.

“My son has been going there for the past year and he has had a great experience,” Kingman said. “I felt that STEM addressed his needs beautifully in terms of challenge and ability. We thought it would be a great experience for my daughter as well.”

But that wouldn’t have been possible until this year, when it added kindergarten through fourth grade and became a K-12 STEM school with all grade levels on one campus. It now has about 1,550 students, with more than 1,000 on a wait list.

When the school — which focuses on science, technology, engineering and math —opened in 2011, it served about 400 students in grades six through nine.

By the 2014-15 school year, as students progressed, the school added grades 10 through 12. Last October, it added fifthgrade students.

“We are on a mission to change education,” the school’s director, Penny Eucker, said.

Plannng for the expansion School officials began considering adding lower grades after finding their incoming sixth-grade students, coming from about 90 school across the metro area, consistently needed some academic remediation, Eucker said.

“We thought if we have our own pipeline we can prepare our students for sixth grade,” she said.

But the proposal for kindergarten through fourth grade was initially denied Feb. 16 during a public hearing with Douglas County and the Board of Educa-

tion after concerns about traffic congestion and student safety.

The only access to and from the school, at 8773 S. Ridgeline Blvd. tucked in the middle of a commercial area, is by Bluepoint Road, Barrons Boulevard and South Ridgeline Boulevard, which are two-lane streets. The school sits across Barrons Boulevard from the Shea Properties project known as Central Park, which recently began development and will include retail and residential components. Its closest neighbors include Waterworks Aquatics, Highlands Ranch Vision Center, BackCountry CrossFit and Hilton Garden Inn. STEM officials said they were exploring a number of ways to mitigate the traffic congestion, including busing more students to the school and staggering start and end times.

On March 15, after a lengthy discussion among parents, faculty and board members, the school board unanimously approved the expansion, stating the school had to first meet a list of conditions.

“We had hundreds of parents show up,” Eucker said. “It was really a bonding experience for our community to all say, `We want this.’ ” Conditions included a traffic-management plan, which was conducted

by Fox Tuttle Hernandez Transporta-

tion Group over the summer.

“It will take some time for drivers to acclimate and adjustments in the process may have to be made,” said Cassie Slade, senior transportation engineer of the group.

The plan includes earlier start times for the middle and high school, staggered start and end times for the elementary school, and a signage system to direct the two pick-up lines that run along Barrons and Ridgeline boulevards.

It also includes surveying neighbors and parents, hiring staff and volunteers for the pick-up lines and increasing carpool numbers.

The county also approved the plan.

‘15 minutes of congestion’ Julie Fletcher, who has a daughter in sixth grade and a son in third grade, volunteered at the pick-up lines for the first week of school.

Traffic isn’t necessarily worse than at other schools in the Douglas County, she said.

“It’s 15 minutes of congestion,” she said. “The first week everyone is learning and after that it smooths out.”

Kingman knows the school has had problems with the pick-up line, but said

it’s getting better every day.

“The school works on ongoing improvement efforts and that’s all we would like to see,” she said.

The priority for her family is that her two children have access to the best education, Kingman said.

Kingman’s son was enrolled in the STEM School’s gifted program and has exceled in math, she said. She has high hopes for her daughter in the school’s art program, she said, which offers 3-D printing to fourth graders.

Inside the elementary classrooms The $3.3 million elementary wing was completed about a week before the first day of school on Aug. 9. The 62,000-square-foot space has 24 classrooms, three engineering labs, two computer labs and a lunchroom, but also a music room and art studio. Foreign languages, such as Chinese, and physical education also will be integrated throughout all grade levels.

The music room has colorful play pads on the floor, a piano in the corner and a large metal structure holding pots and pans. Students can make music with household items and everyday objects.

Paul Waskiewicz, the elementary music teacher, teaches youngsters a genre of music called “Junkanoo Garden” inspired by celebration music in the Caribbean.

“It’s about exploration and discovery,” Waskiewicz said. “It’s hands on — and there is a lot of dancing.”

The new wing’s engineering and computer labs are connected so students can create robotic visions and test them in the same space — a design that creates a workplace of “integration and collaboration,” elementary Principal Karen Johnson said.

She’s excited to see students progress from kindergarten to graduation — from start to finish.

“Kids will take risks and teachers will take risks,” she said. “We hope students will dream big and see that nothing is impossible.”
