Training facility ‘will save lives of first responders’ Traffic Incident Management site only second in nation

BY TABATHA DEANS STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Emergency personnel from across Douglas County responded to a single-car rollover accident at 8500 N. Moore Road Nov. 17. When they arrived officers determined there were no injuries, but the car was blocking both lanes of traffic. A Douglas County Sheriff ’s deputy used his vehicle to push the car off the side of the road and traffic patterns were restored.

The accident, part of a demonstration by Douglas County First Responders, took place at the county’s Emergency Vehicle Operation Center, and introduced the new Traffic Incident Management track, which includes nearly three acres where first responders can be trained safely, while using real cars and re-creating

TABATHA STEWART dangerous scenarios.

Until now, according to officials, training had taken place on tables using toy cars.

“We are very proud of this outstanding facility and even more proud of the public and private partnerships that make it possible,” said Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office Chief Deputy Tim Moore.

“On Feb. 23 of this year this

site was just a vacant field.

Today, just 10 months later, it’s a huge public-safety training and safety asset.”

According to Ryan Rice, director of transportation systems management and operations for Colorado Department of Transportation, the facility is only the second of its kind in the country.

“This will save lives of first

responders,” Rice said, “and make lives better for drivers.”

The TIM track came to be after the Colorado State Patrol was tasked with reviewing all aspects of emergency response and identify opportunities to improve responder safety.

The concept of TIM was a collaborative effort between CDOT, Colorado State Patrol,

Couglas County and the Douglas County Sheriff ’s office.

The $1.5 million used to create the track was approved by the state Transportation Commission and paid for through the CDOT Transportation Systems Management and Operations division.

According to Colorado State Patrol Deputy Chief Mark Savage, the department has lost three deputies in three years because of secondary accidents while they were responding to a call. By training together and in a controlled environment, first responders can learn the safest way to handle a traffic incident, and the fastest way to clear the accident and restore the flow of traffic.

The facility opened in July, but the TIM track was unveiled Nov. 17 in honor of First Responder Appreciation Week. The training center has been used to test low-light sight-distance testing and testing of autonomous vehicles.

Teen drivers, academy cadets and local first responders have used the facility as well.

Community rallies to help ailing veteran in Parker Fundraiser set for Dec. 9 at Takoda Tavern A fundraiser for veteran Christian Redman, who is battling an aggressive form of cancer, will be held Saturday, Dec. 9, at Takoda Tavern in Parker.

Redman, who lives in Parker, was instrumental in helping organize a fundraiser in 2015 that helped a WWII vet and his wife who were facing the prospect of running out of money.

An Army cavalry scout and former police officer, Redman had to step away from his construction business earlier this year as his illness progressed. He is fighting stage 4 colon cancer.

“He’s very behind on his bills because of his

medicines and co-pays,” said Ron Meier, a longtime friend who is organizing the benefit with Takoda Tavern owner Bob Nobles. “He’s a proud man, so this isn’t easy for him.”

Redman is able to cover basic expenses with disability pay. Money raised from the benefit would help Redman defray medical or other living costs, Meier said. “If we can cover one, he can handle the other.”

The benefit will run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Takoda Tavern, 12311 Pine Bluffs Way. For more information, contact Meier at RJM0629@msn. com.

“He deserves our help in any way we can possibly do it,” Nobles said.

“Any one of us could end up with unfortunate circumstances,” Meier said. “You’ve got to hope that people in the community will help you.”

New Castle Pines mayor ready for road ahead Councilmember Tera Radloff will succeed Jeffrey Huff in January

BY JULIE A. TAYLOR SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Tera Radloff will step into the Castle Pines mayoral office with a long list of priorities.

“I’ve committed to a pretty detailed to-do list, and people are holding me accountable to that,” Radloff said.

“This community has my heart. I’m so excited to be leading it.”

Radloff, a Ward 1 councilmember and the mayor pro tem, won 62 percent of the vote Nov. 7 in her race against Ward Recently elected mayor of Castle Pines, 3 Councilmember Geoff Blue. Radloff Tera Radloff poses with her husband Jon will take over for term-limited Mayor and standard poodle Lincoln.

“We’ve been trying to do it ourselves, and struggling a little bit,” Radloff said.

Her main goal, which she plans to ex“I don’t have to be the smartest person ecute by April, is to fix the local roads, in the room, but I can get the smartest which she admits the local governpeople together.” ment is failing to properly maintain.

names like Trader Joe’s and Snooze an A.M. Eatery.

Unlike much of Douglas County, planning for a major population increase is not a concern of Radloff ’s since there isn’t much real estate left for development, with the exception of the neighborhoods currently under construction.

“We’re kind of limited by boundaries,” Radloff said. “Everybody thinks we’re growing like crazy, and we are growing to some extent, but not like Castle Rock and Parker.”

Radloff became interested in joining the council after the councilmember for Ward 1 moved out of the jurisdiction.

Since she already attended meetings, she decided to have a voice in city matters by becoming a councilmember in 2010.

She credits her commitment to public service to her father. Although her dad served as a military colonel, the accomplished pianist would often play for the children’s choir.

“I do believe in being a servant leader,” Radloff said. “My dad was in the military and I think that’s something he showed me from a young age: how to be involved and give back. I lead by the example he set.”

Radloff not only does that through her roles in local government, but also by serving on the Douglas County Library board and operations chair and secretary of the board for Colorado

Springs’ Genny’s Hope Foundation.

The foundation, which works to help those with blood cancers, has found 126 bone marrow matches and contributed almost $70,000 to the cause.

“Lives of leukemia patients have literally been saved because of the hard work Tera and so many other dedicated volunteers give to Genny’s Hope,” Genny’s Hope Founder and President Ann Heahn said. “Tera’s loyalty and compassion for those suffering from blood cancers is evident from the years of service she continues to provide to the foundation.”

Radloff moved to Colorado at the age of 12, and she and her husband Jon, a business executive with the National Cable Television Cooperative, bought their Castle Pines home 14 years ago.

She dotes on her “assistant,” a standard poodle named Lincoln.

“I have a wonderful life,” Radloff said. “I have this very handsome little boy in a poodle suit, and a handsome honey.”

She has a degree in finance from Baylor University in Waco, Texas, and she used to be a program manager in the cable industry. In her free time, Radloff loves to exercise, often in the great outdoors, by running, hiking, snowshoeing and an occasional round of golf.

“This is something I enjoy doing, something I can give back,” Radloff said. “I have the time, and I have the passion.”

Douglas County calls for volunteer drivers Ride Together program is partnership with Lyft

BY TABATHA DEANS STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Winter months can be especially difficult for Douglas county residents who are homeless, housing-challenged or don’t own a vehicle, according to Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge. This year, Douglas county wants to make sure vulnerable populations have a ride when they need it.

Whether it’s a ride to and from work, or a much needed ride to one of the homeless shelters in the Winter Shelter Network.

“My district is mostly rural areas,” said Partridge, whose District 2 includes Castle Rock and Castle Pines, but also less-developed areas, including Franktown, Larkspur and Sedalia.

“Here, you have yourself, your friends and your neighbors if you need a ride.”

Douglas County has partnered with ride-share service Lyft, to create the new Ride Together program, which will offer free or reduced-price rides to at-risk or vulnerable populations in the county. Through the program, drivers can sign up to be a driver with Lyft, and donate rides through the cold winter months to residents who are transit dependent, which means they have no

Officials hope to begin construction a year from now

BY TABATHA DEANS STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner recently attended a briefing with the I-25 Gap Coalition to discuss the progress of accelerating improvements along the stretch of road.

“Our highways look like they did in the ‘70s,” Gardner, a Republican from Yuma, said on Nov. 10 of the 18-mile stretch of I-25 that connects Castle Rock with Monument.

According to Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge, that stretch of road, known as the “Gap,” has been neglected since the 1960s, but with the help of the I-25 Gap Coalition, improvements on the road could begin as early as November 2018, nearly 10 years sooner than if the coalition had not gotten involved.

Slow traffic patterns through parts of the Gap are only part of the problem, according to Partridge and Gardner. Safety issues are also a concern, both for motorists and first responders. Some stretches of the Gap lack any type of emergency lane or shoulder, making it dangerous for vehicles that are involved in an accident to be moved out of traffic, and for first responders to safely navigate an accident scene.

Partridge said the Gap also serves as a designated route for vehicles hauling hazardous materials, which require additional safety measures in case of an accident. I-25 is also a major roadway for freight haulers, and the area has a lot of wildlife. The highway also carries traffic to several defense facilities, including the Air Force Academy, Fort Carson and Buckley Air Force Base.

The I-25 Gap Coalition was created in April with the purpose of speeding up improvements by helping organize and assemble financing for the project.

Bike-sharing program ahead of pace M-Bike offers 50 bicycles throughout Meridian area

BY JULIE A. TAYLOR SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

More than a month after a bike-sharing program at Meridian International Business Center was launched, Eric Hecox was excited about what he was seeing.

“The usership we’re seeing now is double what they initially expected,” said Hecox, general manager for the Meridian Metro District. “We’re blowing that out of the water.”

M-Bike officially started in late September, giving residents and employees access to 50 bikes at 11 docking stations installed across the roughly 1,600-acre Meridian International Business Center, near where I-25 meets E-470 in northern Douglas County.

Meridian, home to businesses that include Fortune 500 companies, as well as residents, paired with bike-share veteran Zagster. Cyclists can download the Zagster app and from their smartphone unlock the bike at any time of day.

“What we wanted to do was provide it as an amenity for those who live and work in Meridian, and those coming in to visit,” said Hecox.

The program, currently underwritten

by Meridian, defrays costs by recruiting local businesses to purchase advertisements and bicycle stations.

“We’ve been out working with tenants in the area to get cost-share partners,” Hecox said. “What we really want to do is make it accessible.”

Employees at Toastmasters, an organization that helps develop communication and speaking skills, and the engineering company CH2M now ride for free since the companies paired up to purchase a station at that campus.

“They brought the program to us to see if we were interested and we agreed to take part,” said Linda Weber, CH2M’s regional facilities operations manager.

“Since Toastmaster is the company that has a building close to the CH2M campus we invited them to join in, too.”

As part of the partnership, the CH2M brand gets more exposure.

“We have our logo on the front of the

“It makes you wonder who is riding the bikes with our logo on them.”

One of the most integral parts of the program, Hecox said, is RTD’s Lincoln Station, near Park Meadows Drive and I-25, which serves commuters on their “last mile.”

The program is unique because while bike sharing is a popular concept, most programs are offered by a city, like Denver or Seattle, or by an employer, such as Google or Charles Schwab. Hecox said Meridian is the only business park in Colorado, and the second in the nation, to offer this service.

While Phase I, which cost about $90,000, moves forward better than expected, plans for Phase II are underway with a push to seek business and residential partnerings and plans to double the number of bicycles.

The Meridian’s landscapers are responsible for keeping bikes evenly distributed when they notice too many bikes at apartments, CH2M or the light rail station, which is where Hecox has noticed the largest usage.

“CH2M is very big on sustainability,” Weber said. “Since the M-Bikes have been delivered we have had employees sign up for the program who ridden bikes on their lunch hour to visit restaurants or just to take a ride for some exercise. Adding the M-Bike program just seemed to be the right thing to do for our employees.”

Sharing in the spirit

of the

C

star

astle Rock police Cmdr. John Anderson, who has lived in Castle Rock his entire life, remembers attending a Starlighting when he was 8 years old.

And although the spirit of the annual celebration, which kicks off the holiday season in Castle Rock, remains the same hometown vibe as it always has been, the crowds are nowhere like they used to be.

“There are enormous crowds tonight,” Anderson said, “probably around 15,000, compared to 50 years ago when there were only 200 people.”

He and Sgt. Mark Ruisi have worked the Starlighting for more than 30 years, making sure the large crowds are safe as they enjoy the festivities of the night, which were capped Nov.

18 by the lighting of the star on The Rock amid a spectacular burst of fireworks.

The Starlighting tradition, which dates back to 1936, always takes place on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

This year’s festivities included hot chocolate, booths manned by nonprofit organizations, entertainers strolling along the streets, live entertainment and, of course, Santa.

For Cindy Callin, there’s nothing quite like the night. She brought her sister-inlaw Julie Devoss, visiting from Wisconsin, to take in the warmth and spirit of community.

Devoss agreed that the celebration — and people — were special.

“Everybody here,” she said, “is really friendly.”

Douglas/Elbert Task Force volunteer Sandy Sexton hands out candy, while talking about what the organization does, during the Starlighting. She and other volunteers handed out coupons for the task force thrift store, Treasure. The money “stays in the community to help our neighbors,” Sexton said. J

The sound of fireworks reverberates through the cold air Nov. 18 as Castle Rock residents watch the star on top of The Rock light up. Thousands of people attended the annual Starlighting festivities to celebrate the start of the holiday season.

PHOTOS BY JANE BOYD/CASTLE VIEW HIGH SCHOOL Cindy Callin, left, and her sister-inlaw, Julie Devoss, warm their hands by a heater along the street. Callin brought Devoss, visiting from Wisconsin, to her first Starlighting.

Callin enjoys sharing the festivities she has grown to love, and the welcoming community environment, with the company she has in town. “Everybody here is really friendly,” Devoss said.

Joanna Goldstein helps hand out stickers, non-permanent tattoos, bracelets and other small items from a station for emergency awareness, one of the booths set up at the Starlighting. Goldstein, who has attended the festivities only once before, said she wasn’t able to see what else was happening around downtown because of how busy she was behind the booth.

The Plummer family stands around one of the many food vendors at the event. Eric Plummer and his wife moved to Castle Rock in 1999 and attended their first Starlighting in 2000. Since then the family has attended almost 15 of the Starlightings. “It has come a long way since then,” Plummer said, referring to the first one the family attended.

Indictment paints picture of large pot-trafficking ring in south metro area 24 suspected of playing part in distributing marijuana to 12 states

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An enterprise based in the south metro Denver area sent marijuana through the mail, sold it to out-of-state buyers and cultivated pot in upscale neighborhoods, according to a 98-page indictment.

Two dozen people have been accused of participating in the drug-trafficking ring that illegally grew marijuana in at least 10 homes in Arapahoe, Douglas and Elbert counties. Each person has been indicted on at least nine charges.

The group allegedly operated out of residences in the Centennial, Parker, Greenwood Village, Highlands Ranch and Aurora areas and in Elbert County. The suspects are accused of conspiring to grow more than 1,500 pounds of marijuana and of selling marijuana to out-of-state buyers for distribution in 12 states. The enterprise received more than $1 million during its existence, the indictment said.

A grand jury for the 18th Judicial District issued the indictment Nov. 14.

Bond for each suspect is set at $50,000.

In multiple jurisdictions, law enforcement officials are in the process of apprehending the suspects, said Vikki Migoya, spokeswoman for District Attorney George Brauchler.

The charges also include money laundering and attempting to influence a public servant. The suspects will be tried in Douglas County District Court, according to a news release.

The indictment, provided by the Colorado Judicial Branch, lays out the details of how the ring operated and of the investigation.

Multiple accusations Main players in the organization included Anthony Hagman, Daniel Levy and Gustavo Ruiz-Medrano, the indictment says.

Hagman allegedly operated two marijuana cultivation facilities or grow houses, including at 7471 S. Eudora Way and 7016 S. Dahlia St., both in Centennial. Levy allegedly acquired and resided in the residence at 7016 S. Dahlia St. and assisted Hagman in operating the grows. Ruiz-Medrano, of Texas, reportedly purchased marijuana from other members of the group and transported it across state lines to distribute in his home state, as many others listed in the indictment are accused of doing.

Texas is the state with the largest group of accused marijuana trans-

porters in the organization. Ruiz-Medrano is allegedly associated with five other suspects from Texas accused in the indictment.

Ring members cultivated most of their marijuana at grow houses at 14583 E. Purdue Place in south Aurora, 12026 N. Third St. in the Parker area, 27100 Pine Vista Circle in Elbert County, 20449 E. Linvale Place in southeast Aurora and 6627 S. Killarney Court near Aurora and Centennial, a few blocks from Grandview High School.

Greenwood Village informant The Greenwood Village Police Department contacted Mark Galvan, a Castle Rock Police Department detective, on April 1, 2016, about a subject who was in custody and wanted to provide information about a marijuana operation in Douglas County.

The male subject, not named in the indictment, was arrested after agreeing to sell marijuana through Craigslist to an undercover Greenwood Village police officer, the indictment says.

A few months earlier, the subject began working with two people, who are also not named, who have grown and sold marijuana in Douglas County for nearly a year, the indictment says.

The subject arrested in Greenwood Village allegedly picked up marijuana from the individuals at an apartment at 3450 E. County Line Road in Highlands Ranch to sell.

subject said — it was only used as their “stash house” for the marijuana ready for sale. During the day, a third person stayed there to watch over the product, and at any given time, they had 10 or more pounds of marijuana at the apartment, according to the indictment.

According to the grand jury’s allegations: People who wanted to purchase large amounts would initially meet the two individuals near or at the apartment. The individuals told the subject to only send buyers for large amounts if they were from out of state to prevent a robbery and so they could charge higher prices. That’s become a common trend in the black market for marijuana, according to Galvan — those buyers will pay more because they can return to their home state and sell for nearly double what they paid.

Galvan set up a “controlled buy” with the subject that officers were able to record and listen to on April 15, 2016, at the stash apartment.

“Sold 27 pounds while I was gone,” one of the individuals told the subject, the indictment states. “We bought 14 pounds while I was gone. We shipped out four pounds while I was gone.”

He offered the subject a quarterpound of pot to sell, and when the subject rejected taking it, he assured

Changed graduation requirements affect Douglas County students Members of current freshman class fall under new standards

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In October 2016, the Douglas County School Board approved changes in the school district’s graduation requirements. The new requirements begin with the freshman class of the 2017-18 school year. Students must meet two additional requirements by their 2021 graduation date.

Below are three things to know: Credits are the same Students still need 24 credits to graduate.

Each student is required to complete 16 credits in Common Core State Standards, part of Colorado Academic Standards, including four languagearts credits, three math credits including at least one credit of algebra, three science credits, three social studies credit including at least a half credit

of civics/U.S. government, one practical arts credit, one fine arts credit and one physical education credit. And each student must complete eight elective credits.

No change in community service hours High school students must document at least 20 hours of community service to graduate.

CALM AFTER THE STORM

SM

Academic plan, college and career readiness are new Beginning with the class of 2021 — or the freshman class of the current school year — students will create and complete an Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP) and/or Individualized Education Plan (IEP) that meets the district’s graduation requirements, according to the DCSD website.

To receive a diploma, students will also be required to demonstrate college and career readiness by documenting proficiency in English and math through one of 10 approved methods, including ACT, SAT, district capstone or industry certificate. A list of methods can be found at www. dcsdk12.org/graduation.

On to the next big adventure, friend

mitty looked over his shoulder as he was carried away, and said, “Where am I going now, Dad?” I said, “I’ve heard it’s a very big adventure.”

I knew why he was asking that question: Before we made eye Craig Marshall contact at the MaxFund Animal AdopSmith tion Center in 2008, he was frequently moved from place to place and person to person.

And for the first three months, he spent as much time at the Doggie Dude Ranch in Watkins as he did with me,

because my father and mother decided they wanted to see what it was like on the other side of the looking glass.

So I went back and forth to Michigan — for their funerals and then to settle their estates.

That summer, I reintroduced myself to Smitty, a smooth-coated, red dachshund, and we became best friends.

I have written about him for years, so I won’t go into his attributes all over again. Whenever Smitty is mentioned, I receive more messages than for anything else I write about.

I wanted to let you know I am working on a novella about Smitty.

(I got serious about this, and took an online novel writing class through the UCLA Extension School.)

There are cute and clever books

about dogs all over the place. Mine won’t be either. At least it won’t be cute. Smitty never sat on the top of his doghouse and philosophized.

He never rescued anyone. Except me.

He came along after I retired and before Jennifer. It was a sketchy time in my life. I guess I was meant to have it: Single men who retire often head south, for a number of reasons.

I was heading in that direction, and then a friend sent a photograph of Smitty she had seen on MaxFund’s web site.

I called to find out if Smitty was still available.

“Let me go see.”

A woman put the phone down, and walked away. I could hear her footsteps.

Then I could hear her coming back.

“He’s here.”

His name wasn’t Smitty at the time.

I thought he needed a new one, to go with his new life.

Displayed near me right now is my father’s World War II flight jacket. In script, on the front right side, it says “Smitty.”

Later on, I called him every name imaginable — names of endearment — even after he was completely deaf.

Is your dog, like mine, a good excuse to stay home?

Would you rather meet the Gundersons for lunch, or stay at home with your dog and watch Hitchcock?

I never put a hat on Smitty. People do things like that, I’ve heard. Dress up SEE SMITH, P13

Little faith in school board Our school district may be underfunded when compared to Littleton and Cherry Creek, but we should take the position of the Elevate slate candidates for school board, which is that the mill levy override has failed in two previous elections and there’s no reason to believe it will pass next year.

A primary cause of failure is that over 70 percent of Douglas County households do not have a child in school. The solution proposed during the forums is to delay putting the MLO on the ballot until confidence in the school board is restored (that was assuming the Elevate slate candidates would win). Keep in mind that the amount of the MLO increase was never discussed during the forums so final support can’t be given until the amount of the MLO is specified.

In agreement with Superintendent Kane, I support the MLO for Douglas County schools in principle, but will lobby against putting it on the ballot next year. Another failed ballot initiative will seal the MLO’s death for the foreseeable future.

The Elevate slate candidates far outclassed the anti-reform winners in this race and I believe would have earned the confidence for putting the MLO on the ballot. However, the current school board will only get a

no-confidence vote from tax payers (the 70 percent), who are a different breed than parents of school age children. Case in point, not only have they promised to put the MLO on the ballot next year, but to also finance an expensive nationwide search for a new superintendent when Erin Kane’s term expires next year. Erin has earned wide support from principals, staff, and teachers; does this decision sound like a school board whose spending judgment you can trust?

Smith Young Parker

Will senator do right thing?

Ken Buck’s vote in favor of the GOP tax plan, which would add $1.5 trillion to the national debt is the pinnacle, of hypocrisy. On March 28, 2015 Buck wrote in the Greeley Tribune: “I came to Congress to advance real solutions that address what I consider the biggest threat to America: our $18.1 trillion debt … I refuse to defer the pain to our children and grandchildren.”

Cory Gardner has also stated: “Our debt crisis threatens the very future of this country.”

Now it remains to be seen whether Sen. Gardner is true to his word or equally two-faced.

“Give me a hand here, Etta. I got into a nest of wiener dogs over on Fifth and Maple.”

When he was younger, Smitty crawled into sweatshirt sleeves, and fell asleep. Later on, he could sleep anywhere at any time, and napping became one of our favorite things to do together.

ity time with our friends and family, maybe all of those nice words and best of Thanksgiving intentions have been swept up in the madness of the December Dash.

Now I know we are all working crazy hours to try and finish the year. Some of us are even working two or more jobs to fulfill Christmas wish lists.

So throwing anything else into the mix may be too much to ask, right?

Maybe, but then again maybe not, as what I am suggesting is just one small gesture of gratitude each day as we go into December and into the New Year.

Who knows, it may be something that we can actually turn into a positive habit as well.

The challenge I am putting forth is to express just as much love and gratitude as we felt during Thanksgiving, and to carry those feelings and that philosophy into Christmas and beyond.

g r

What if every day we found something to be grateful for? What if we shared with someone else just how much we appreciate them during the holiday season?

We can thank the cashiers, we can share our appreciation with the valet parking attendants, we can give up our close parking spot for someone who may need it more than we do, and we can be grateful for the mail carriers and delivery drivers who make sure our gifts arrive on time and who deliver our packages to us.

Thanksgiving the holiday may have ended last week, but the spirit of Thanksgiving should be a positive habit we strive to live by. It is so easy to get angry or caught up in the holiday mayhem, this is true.

But I have found that people who maintain the attitude of gratitude tend to have a much more pleasant holiday season, and their stress levels are reduced dramatically.

The reason for the season is not about how many gifts we buy and give away, or how many gifts we receive.

The real reason for the season is found in the Christmas story.

It is found in the Hanukkah story.

The real reason for the season is summed up in love and gratitude.

Do you have it in you to extend your gratitude and appreciation bucket beyond Thanksgiving?

Can we all try and walk with the halo effect of Thanksgiving as we enter into the season where we should naturally experience gratitude and appreciation, love and kindness, and goodwill towards all men and women?

Will you personally accept this gratitude challenge?

Either way, I would love to hear all about your own December Dash between Thanksgiving and Christmas or Hanukkah at gotonorton@gmail.com.

And when we can extend the spirit of gratitude and appreciation and make it a habit to live by, it really will be a better than good week.

Local foster kids go from trash bags to backpacks Parker woman among those inspired by Comfort Cases

Through Comfort Cases, Ashleigh Letofsky started collecting donations for local foster care children.

Halfway through, she had to start storing the items in her parents’ basement as her apartment became too full.

BY JULIE A. TAYLOR SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Decades ago, Comfort Cases founder Rob Scheer went through the foster system. As he traveled from house to house, the system had him store his personal belongings in a trash bag.

When he became a foster parent decades later, the children arrived with trash bags, and he decided to make a change. His desire to help is rippling through the area.

Comfort Cases started as an idea in 2003 in Maryland. When the organization started to get national coverage on “The Today Show” and the “Ellen DeGeneres Show,” people across the area volunteered to set up local chapters.

On average, 1,000 children are in foster care in Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson Counties, according to Arapahoe County statistics.

Ashleigh Letofsky, a Parker resident who works as a paralegal in the Cherry Creek area, decided to get involved. She is working to provide 50 local foster children with backpacks filled with hygiene and and comfort items.

“I was so inspired by what they were doing. I wanted to get involved,” Letofsky said. “I’ve always had a passion for

working with children and helping out with causes like that.”

In years past, she volunteered with Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Recently, she spread the word on Facebook groups and the Nextdoor app, calling for donations, plus a number of businesses joined the effort. She has personally coordinated and picked up all the items, fitting it into her daily commute.

“So many people in the Parker area are so close to me anyway,” Letofsky said. “They’re willing give, so I’m willing to pick them up.”

Everything Letofsky gathers will go to foster children in Douglas, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties. Her goal is to get donations for 50 kids by Dec. 6, and

she is already halfway there.

“I was just really overwhelmed with how caring the Parker, Douglas County and Aurora community have been,” Letofsky said. “Every time I pick up items, it’s always more than I expect.”

After she collects all of the items, a group of volunteers will meet for a packing party. So many signed up, that the space cannot hold any more helpers.

She is still accepting donations for the first push, but anything that arrives after the Dec. 6 packing party will be accepted and given to children entering the foster system in the future.

“For kids entering system that

HOW TO HELP

For more information on Comfort Cases or to make a donation, go to www.comfortcases. org To donate items to Ashleigh Letofsky’s drive, call 303-564-8181 or email her at aletofsk@ gmail.com night, that way a social worker can grab the bag,” Letofsky said.

Mother-daughter duo Terri and Emily Stevens brought Comfort Cases to Virginia a few years ago, and recently went on “The Today Show” with Scheer.

“That’s what we need is that grassroots effort,” Terri said. “It renews your faith in people, especially the world we live in right now.”

She said they are working to build formal chapters across the nation, but from Maryland, they have shipped to 33 states.

Aside from Letofsky’s packing party, businesses in Denver’s south metro area are holding their own drives and delivering the finished bags to Letofsky. Volunteers will tag the backpacks with pajama size and gender, and the lot will be distributed to area foster children via Arapahoe County, which also works with Douglas and Jefferson County foster children.

“It’s something I just had a passion for and wanted to help any way I could,” Letofsky said.

him it was a small part of the business.

“Negligible — like (we) literally sell 80 pounds a week,” the individual said.

The two individuals had marijuana grows at their residences and said they had eight other growers who sell marijuana to them, the subject said.

One of those growers, he said, was in a gated community in Greenwood Village, near East Orchard Road and South Dayton Street.

A marijuana-trimming business is registered at the address. The man

who runs that business used the two marijuana dealers to sell and distribute extra marijuana from his work and his home grow, the indictment alleges.

Detectives also identified Brianna Williams, who said she made the trip from Texas to Colorado seven times to buy marijuana from one of the individuals who sold out of that apartment.

Evidence in the mail Information from postal inspector Brook Fuller about the case on Feb. 8, 2017, confirmed the organization was involved in shipping marijuana through the United States Postal Service and receiving cash in return, according to the indictment.

Denver U.S. postal Inspectors

noticed a suspicious pattern of mailings into P.O. Box 4587 in Greenwood Village in January. The grand jury alleges that a mailing addressed to James Jones — a suspect named in the indictment — at that post office box bore the return address of a Dennis Jones in St. Louis, and that the parcel contained a stack of money in a magazine.

According to the indictment: A male who claimed to be Jones picked up the package at a post office in Greenwood Village on Feb. 7 — Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office deputies had set up the scene with postal inspectors. The male left, got into a car with a male driver, and parked outside the gated-community house at 9638 E. Maplewood Circle a few blocks north for about 10 min-

utes. The car then drove to 802 Windmill Place in Highlands Ranch.

That address, along with 476 Pluto Court in Douglas County in the Lone Tree area, the post office box in Greenwood Village and the apartment in Highlands Ranch on East County Line Road were associated with each other, Fuller said.

Between August 2016 and February, those four addresses received more than 75 U.S. Postal Service Express Mail parcels. They came from Iowa, New York, Texas, Missouri, South Carolina, Illinois, Indiana and Florida. Two parcels, both containing thousands of dollars, addressed to the Highlands Ranch apartment in February were listed with return addresses in Missouri and Louisiana.

Shoppers at Denver’s annual Christkindl Market will be transported to a traditional German town square for their holiday shopping.

PHOTOS BY CLARKE READER

Holiday shopping with a twist Markets offer crafts, food, artwork, more

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When it comes to holiday shopping, chain stores and online outlets will try to pull in customers with quantity of items and deals.

But to find that unique gift — one specially and limitedly created by local artisans, bakers and craftsman — you have to look locally. And that’s where the multitude of holiday markets in communities around the Denver metro area come in.

“We’re a place where you can shop and savor the season,” said Natalia Wobst, executive director of the Colorado Chamber of the German American Chamber of Commerce, which hosts the annual Christkindl Market in Denver’s Skyline Park. “There’s a real feeling of community effort at this market, and vendors really get to know the customers. And customers know we’re a reliable place for good Christmas finds.”

There are dozens of markets to choose from heading into the holiday season, so we picked a handful from our coverage areas to highlight.

Adams County Holiday Bazaar WHERE: Adams County Fairgrounds, 9755 Henderson Road, Brighton HOURS: Saturday, Dec. 2, 9 a.m. to

4 p.m.; Sunday, Dec. 3, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

WHAT YOU’LL FIND: The bazaar features more than 300 booths in two buildings, all focused on handmade crafts. Corporate vendors and homebased franchises are not allowed.

The event also doubles as a benefit fundraiser for the Adams County Historical Society and Museum.

WHAT MAKES THE MARKET SPECIAL: “What makes a good market is new inventory and a variety of merchandise, and our vendors are personable and lovely to talk with,” said Marilyn Fingerlin, one of three co-organizers of the Adams County Historical Society bazaars. “They are always looking for new crafts to make to sell, and you will find quality handcrafted items for your home and all-occasion gifts.”

Arapahoe Ceramics Guild Holiday Sale WHERE: Arapahoe Community College, 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton HOURS: Thursday, Nov. 30, 1 to 8 p.m.; Friday, Dec. 1, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday, Dec. 2, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

WHAT YOU’LL FIND: The guild is composed of people who are students or former students in Arapahoe Community College’s ceramics program.

Items on sale include functional and decorative pieces made by all skill levels. There are limited amounts of each piece, which means shoppers will see a rotating stock of new pieces, said Melanie Unruh, the guild’s vice president.

Chrys and Ellie Masuda take a look at some of the items for sale at the Foothills Art Center’s Holiday Art Market.

he way Denver musician Barry Shapiro sees it, people don’t find themselves in Colorado by accident.

“Denver is the kind of place where people move here because they want to be here,” he said. “Denver draws people here for the right reason, and that openness extends to the music scene as well.”

Shapiro knows what he’s talking about — he was born in Brooklyn, and lived in Boston before coming to Colorado 27 years ago, when he was 18. He was inspired to start in music thanks to the inspiration of his mother and grandmother, who played piano. In high school, he got inspired by the work of Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen.

After years of playCOMING ing in the Colorado scene, Barry ShapATTRACTIONS iro will be playing at Boulder’s famous eTown Hall, 1535 Spruce St., at 7 p.m.

Dec. 9. He’ll be joined with Sean Kelly from local favorites The Samples, and his band includes Steve Gaskin, an Arvada Clarke Reader West jazz band alumni.

Shapiro recorded his full-length debut album called “In Remission “ in 2000 about the healing power of music, followed it up in 2005 with “Beacon Street,” inspired by life in New England, and his most recent release is called “Boardwalk Rain.” His music is largely inspired by places he visits, and that includes Colorado.

“The Colorado music scene is a scene of nooks and crannies, and great little rooms that people don’t know about, and those are some of my favorite rooms to play,” Shapiro said. “My favorite thing about playing is when my creativity inspires somebody else to create something else.”

But he was also a prizefighter who made an appearance on the TV show, “The Greatest Fights of the Century.”

Littleton Youth Ballet among companies staging ‘Nutcracker’

Dancers Maggie Pontiff, Luisa Araujo,Brooke Janney, Gilbert Armstrong, Tate Ryner and Mia Iwasa will perform in the Littleton Youth Ballet production of “The Nutcracker.”

The four girls will each dance the role of Clara in a performance and the boys will alternate as the Nutcracker Prince.

Soon, Tchaikovsky’s beloved music will be playing wherever one goes, and dancers—both professional and younger — will become snowflakes, Clara, party guests, military mice, princes and that Sugar Plum Fairy.

Dancers in the Littleton Youth Ballet will present their annual production of “The Nutcracker” on Dec. 1-3 in the beautifully renovated Joanna Ramsey Theatre at Westminster High School.

(Ramsey was Littleton Youth Ballet director Allison Jaramillo’s teacher in high school, we are told.)

The company had long performed at the Loretto Heights Theatre, and with the sale of that property, it was not available this year. By the time Jaramillo and her co-director/mother, Bobbie Jaramillo learned about Loretto Heights’ unavailability, finding another stage that offered adequate fly space for set pieces was difficult — some book three years ahead.

A friend had a suggestion and Allison is most pleased with the comfort and sound qualities in the Ramsey Theatre, she writes — and invites Littleton audiences to experience it, hoping they will “fall in love with it,” as the Jaramillos did.

The production features two casts of over 170: children, pre-professional dancers in the Littleton Youth Ballet and guest artists, as well as lovely sets and costumes that suggest Littleton in the early 1900s.

Academy dancers progress to more complex parts each year as their skills increase: first wee mice and angels, then clowns and candy canes, then snowflakes and flowers and finally leading roles … Some dancers in this year’s program have performed since Littleton Ballet started presenting “The Nutcracker.” Each year features some subtle changes in choreography, Allison says. (We recall enjoying her own performance as young Clara, back when the David Taylor Dance Company was located on Main Street, up a couple blocks from the Littleton Independent’s onetime office space.)

IF YOU GO The Littleton Youth Ballet production of “The Nutcracker” will be presented Dec. 1-3 at the Joanna Ramsey Theatre in Westminster High School, 6933 Raleigh St., Westminster.

Ticket prices for reserved seating range from $20 to $36 in advance, $2 more at the door.

303-794-6694, littletonyouthballet.org.

Estevez and a female guest artist, to be announced, will perform as Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier on Dec. 1 and 2.

And there are more dancing flowers and snowflakes to be found in the Denver metro area through the season: Colorado Ballet is staging several performances of its 57th annual production of “The Nutcracker” through Dec. 24 at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, in the Denver Performing Arts Complex at 14th and Champa streets in downtown Denver. Costumes and sets are lavish and there is a live orchestra. Performances are daytime and evening — see coloradoballet.org or call 303-837-8888, ext. 2.

Author thrills readers with visit to Denver Dan Brown promotes most recent thriller at gathering in DTC

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More than 1,000 excited readers arrived at the Denver Marriott Tech Center on Nov. 15 for “An Evening with Dan Brown,” jointly presented by Douglas County Libraries and Tattered Cover Book Store.

Despite publication of millions of his books in multiple languages (more than 52 million), the mild-mannered Brown reminds one of his globe-trotting collegeprofessor/protagonist, Robert Langdon — bright, articulate, humorous — and certainly confident, but not ostentatious at all ... This is a guy one would love to chat with over coffee or a beer.

Brown Many of those present bought not only a ticket, but a shiny blue copy of the new book, which will require some late nights of reading as Langdon travels in and out of trouble — mostly in Spain this trip. (He commented that the cover design is inspired by his experience looking down from the top of a steep spiral staircase at the Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Barcelona — Antonio Gaudi’s ongoing masterpiece.)

Brown is touring to introduce his latest thriller, published in October — “Origin” — and his publicists have provided a preliminary short background film that allowed this highly imaginative author to quickly get to the story at hand when he bounds to the platform. Like previous books, it deals with his ongoing interest in the juxtaposition of science and religion in our world today: “Will God survive

science? Where did we come from? Where are we going?”

Research for “Origin” began with a visit to the famous Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, designed by Frank Gehry — Brown wished to be brought somewhat up to speed on modern art, which was not familiar territory.

And that’s where “Origin” begins its convoluted tale. “It was fun to throw Langdon into that scene,” he said with a grin.

Brown is the son of a math teacher and a devout church organist and was educated at Phillips Exeter Academy, Amherst College and the University of Seville. He said he published his first book at age 5, dictated to his father and “tied together with red string: `Giraffe, Pig and Pants on Fire.’”

He recalled asking a priest which creation story is true and being told, “Nice boys don’t ask!” He graduated from Amherst College and taught at his alma mater until he could devote his attention to writing.

He gets up at 4 a.m., faced with an empty page and produces yet another exciting chapter.

But, when asked “What’s next?” he gently reminded the questioner that “Origin” has just been out three weeks. “You’re a mother, aren’t you? What if someone talked about the next baby three weeks after you’d given birth?” Asia, Africa and Latin America would all like to be settings for a Langdon visit — Brown said he’d spent time in India, but wasn’t yet familiar enough “because it’s not in my tradition. Would you be interested in setting big questions in the developing world?”

Several questions about his personal beliefs were parried. He sees “The Divine in interactions of people — I sense in moments like this love between you and me …” With a strong mother and a strong wife, he would never write about a “woman tied to the railroad tracks,” he added.

Dan Brown’s new book, released Oct. 3, is “Origin,” set in Spain.

COURTESY PHOTO One participant probably spoke for all present: “Thank you for making us think!” she said.

‘Own an Original’ exhibition back for 52nd time in Littleton Art on display at city’s museum until Jan. 7

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Visitors filled the Littleton Museum’s lobby and gallery on Nov. 16 to see the latest “Own an Original” art exhibition (the 52nd in the series), which had 477 entries — the most ever — according to Littleton Fine Arts Board Chair Denise Weed. She added that 60 pieces by 45 artists were selected for the varied show by juror Kathryn Charles, whom Weed introduced.

The exhibit was started more than five decades ago by the original Fine Arts Board to give local artists a chance to exhibit and local residents the opportunity to consider purchasing original art for their homes and businesses. The original board was set up by the Littleton City Council to screen offered art items when the then-new Bemis Library was under construction. It then evolved into an active part of the local art scene.

Charles, who grew up in Littleton, invited the crowd to come back and explore/discover/rediscover the museum, as she had: the other inside exhibits as well as the living history farms, with their historic buildings, costumed interpreters and assorted furry and feathered residents. Charles attended Littleton schools and went on

to CU-Boulder for a bachelor’s degree and an MA in art history. She has been a curator at several museums, designed independent exhibitions, represented individual artists and recently directed a large-scale permanent installation for Lackland Air Force Base with two Colorado public artists.

She spoke of “six hours in a dark room,” reviewing all the entries and selecting a number that would fit in the available space. She also commented that in the installation by Exhibit Curator Kevin Oerfil, “one artwork flows to the next like a symphony.”

She spoke of a “theme of vigor, verve …” affecting her 60 choices, complimenting artists who “picked boundaries” for their works.

Her selections cover a wide range of individual visions, styles and artists — many amazingly proficient in technique — including more than one “how-in-the world-did-they-do-that?” piece.

Awards for 2017 went to: Best of show: Paul Gillis’ good-humored oil on canvas, “Itinerary.” One in a group of three related paintings, all technically very well executed, it depicts an otherworldly landscape, at the waterfall’s edge and a purple boat perched, pointing away from the steep drop. The “passenger” is a steaming red cylinder with a long nose. Gillis’ other titles are “Colloquium” and “Maelstrom,” done in the same style and size—also featuring that red cylinder. Bordering on the comic realm,

Congratulations Hastings Brothers Construction, Inc. Thanks for devoting your days to making sure your employees get home at night. We’re proud to name you a 2017 Circle of Safety winner.

COURTESY PHOTO A these paintings reflect a creative mind we’d like to know more about. Unfortunately, Gillis was not in attendance to talk about his works. A 2014 story

by Westword’s Michael Paglia says the prolific artist, represented by Rule Gallery, is in his 70s and paints a world that may be in outer space … Viewers, including young ones, will want to concoct a story of their own.

by Christina Carfora is a beautifully crafted ceramic sculpture of two female figures, descended from the classic Greek, but with a story as well, we’d guess. Carfora lives and teaches in Boulder.

Second Place: Frederick Pinchon’s painting “Sea Arches” depicts a mythical-looking ocean scene, magical in quality and presentation.

Third place: Heidi Rounds created a wonderfully rendered pastel portrait of a thoughtful child, “My Light.”

IF YOU GO

N “Own an Original 2017” will be open at R the Littleton Museum, 6028 S. Gallup St., Littleton, through Jan. 7, 2018. Hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays; 10 to 5 p.m. C Saturdays, 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays. Admission is free. (Closed Dec. 10, 23, 24, 25 and after noon A on Dec. 22.) 303-795-3950.

Careful lighting really makes it glow.

In addition to Weed, city councilN appointed Littleton Fine Arts Board members are Carolyn Bradish, Allison Eaby, Juliana Barnard and vice chair Kathleen Eckel.

While you can’t take it home until January, you might want to consider adding a new work to a personal collection — or giving a one-of-a-kind gift. In any case, a visit to this exhibit will be a most pleasant holiday diversion.

Locally built Mars probe almost ready for launch InSight, manufactured

by Lockheed, will study Red Planet’s interior

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A locally built robotic lander destined for Mars is almost ready to take off, and engineers at Lockheed Martin Space Systems are excited to watch it leave.

The InSight Mars lander was largely built at Lockheed’s Waterton Canyon campus, as part of a joint effort between NASA and a host of international agencies. The lander, scheduled to set down on the Red Planet in November 2018, will use a seismometer and a soil probe to study the interior of the planet.

The hope is that better data about Mars’ core will lead to a better understanding of planetary formation, said Stu Spath, InSight’s program manager.

“The problem is that Earth is a little too active to conduct these kind of precise experiments,” Spath said. “On Mars we’ll be able to detect information about the planet’s interior from the reverberation of meteorite impacts.”

The lander was originally intended

Engineers inspect the InSight lander, which should set foot on Mars in about a year. to launch last year, but problems with vacuum seals on the scientific instruments forced a delay. With the problems resolved, InSight should be ready to blast off in May, which is the

next time the planets align in a way that’s conducive to interplanetary travel.

Scott Daniels, the program’s assembly test and launch operations man-

ager, is cautiously optimistic.

“It takes a million things to go right, but only one thing to go wrong,” Daniels said. “We take nothing for granted.”

Ponderosa’s Ryan Neale is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Tennis Player of the Year.

JIM BENTON

Tennis player serves up stellar season as senior Ponderosa’s Ryan Neale is South Metro Boys Tennis Player of Year

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ryan Neale decided to play on Ponderosa’s boys tennis team this fall and the senior had a standout season.

He won the Region 5 tournament and finished third in the Class 5A state tournament on Oct. 12-14 at the Gates Tennis Center in Denver.

Neale suffered only his second loss of the season in the Class 5A state semifinals with a 6-1, 6-2 loss to eventual state champion Christian Holmes of Chatfield.

He came back to capture third place with a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Javier Valenzuela of Mountain Range.

Neale has been selected as the 2017 Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Tennis Player of the Year.

“I was a little hurt that I lost in the semis,” confessed Neale. “I wanted to make it to the finals. I lost to Christian in the semis and he won the tournament so that made the loss hurt a little less. Overall the season was not too bad.”

It took a little persuasion before Neale decided to play high school tennis.

“It was an extreme pleasure having a player with the talent of Ryan playing for Ponderosa,” said Mustangs coach Steve Prosowski. “Ryan toyed with the idea of playing along with his good friend Henry Cox last season, but his tournament schedule and training in Texas was too much.

“This season he made the choice to play high school tennis, which was encouraged by his current team-

mates, myself and his parents.”

Neale was a success on the court for Ponderosa.

“Ryan had a hugely successful season going 10-0 in the tough Continental League, going 3-1 at the Pueblo South tournament and going 3-1 in the state tournament to finish with an overall record of 16-2,” said Prosowski. “Ryan with his talent is all class and hard work.

“He would often be the first one to show up to practice, to warm up for matches and he really set a great example of what it takes to play such a high level of tennis.”

And he as an influence off the court too.

“He also stepped into the team dynamic quite well and earned the trust and respect of all his teammates,” added Prosowski. “It was an absolute pleasure to be his coach and I know he will do great things in the future.”

any things you believed might be simple take time.

For instance why is an iPad all of a sudden frozen? Then after going through an inventory of passwords, you find out that they are invalid. Despite making a little headway you end up after a long day with a device that is still immobile.

I should have called Patrick McHenry and maybe he could OVERTIME have made some progress.

McHenry is head strength coach and physical education teacher at Castle View High School. He is a member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association Board of Directors Jim Benton and co-chair of the NSCA Secondary School Coaches Working Group.

He isn’t a technology expert but admits some weight training methods are outdated and progress is being made to change those old-fashioned training procedures. It has taken time to convince trainers that overwork can cause injuries.

Integrated and not isolated training is the new way of training.

“Integrated means you are going to add components in,” explained McHenry. “Now we are isolated. Kids grow up and play one sport, never learning to move in other patterns.

“To help avoid getting knee injuries, one of the first things we look at is if they are squatting properly. Sometimes when a person hurts their ACL, it’s because they have weak glutes which are causing their legs to move wrong. It’s often a non-contact injury.”

Growth spurts in teenagers should not be ignored.

“I must pay close attention to whether they are getting taller because growing adds something to the mix,” said McHenry. “A freshman may come into the high school at 5-foot-5. Then he starts growing, which changes his center of gravity. He may have to back off the weights and re-learn the movement patterns.”

McHenry still endorses strength training.

“Strength training is safe, but it’s important that it’s taught by someone who understands pediatric and adolescent exercise physiology,” he said. “That’s a relatively new science.”

Specific sport training where athletes focus on individualized weight training and specific approach is helpful.

“With cross country, for example, I’ll work on stabilizing muscles so they can perform better later in the race,” added SEE BENTON, P28

Packer dogged in search of success Arapahoe senior is South Metro Boys Golfer of Year

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Arapahoe senior David Packer didn’t mind when he heard the odd compliment paid to him by boys golf coach Harry Bucker, who referred to him as a dog.

“He is a real bulldog,” said Buckner. “Every time he made a bogey he would say, `Don’t worry coach, I’ll get it back.’ Then he would make a birdie. He thrived on pressure.”

Packer is the 2017 Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Golfer of the Year.

“I have that mentality,” said Packer, when asked about Buckner’s comment.

“I used to be a little bit worse after a bad hole and it would cause problems on the next hole. I kind of figured it out.

“Especially this year, whenever I had a bad hole, I just believed in my game and would get it back on the next hole. I just decided to let it go.”

Packer won the Class 5A West Regional at the Broadlands Golf Course in Broomfield with a 1-under-par 71 to help the Warriors win the regional title.

“As an individual, I was all-league (Centennial) and I won the regional,” said Packer. “I don’t have anything to complain about. In the state tournament on that second day you could see guys giving away two or three shots for losing their mind because of one shot.”

At the Oct. 2-3 state tournament at CommonGround Golf Course in Aurora, Packer finished tied for fourth after back-to-back rounds of 1-over-par 72.

“My putting was better than it has ever been this season,” said Packer. “I’ve always been a pretty good ball striker and been able to keep it in the fairway.

Last year I averaged almost two putts a hole but this year I was able to get in down to a putt and a half a hole.

“I improved a lot and that helped my scores, especially in the state tournament when it was cold and the balls were just bouncing and you couldn’t get them to stop and you had to be able to get up and down. It was nice to know

Arapahoe’s Tommy Packer is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Golfer of the Year.

JIM BENTON that I was going to make that 4-footer to make a par and go on to the next hole.”

Packer’s putting improved when he reduced the time spent reading putts.

“My putts had always had good speed but I didn’t have the best aim,”

he explained. “I always used to line up my ball but I found on the shorter putts when I lined up my putt I almost looked at it too much to be able to read the putt.

I just kind of went off feel and it helped me a lot this year.”

BENTON FROM PAGE 27

McHenry. “Golfers tend to do all their rotations on one side, so I help them work both sides equally.

“Tennis players have to be explosive. I help them work on that. Cheerleading is a sport with a notoriously high number of injuries. Can the base people handle the pressure of catching someone thrown high in the air? They may need the weight room more than most.

“The sport coach can be focused on strategy while the strength coach is focused on strength, recovery and nutrition.

“It frees up sport coaches to do their sport.”

McHenry, who has been at Castle View for 11 years, also has thoughts on burnout and creating well-rounded athletes.

“Much research says kids get burned out when they play just one sport,” he said.

“I see that all the time. Kids don’t want to play any more after high school. In contrast, studies find that kids who play multiple sports will peak later and not burn out early.

“I talk with them all the time and explain that the more sports they play, the more wellrounded they’ll be. You’d never have a student just study math or science all through school.

They take all the core classes — math, science, social studies and reading — to make them well-rounded. By the time they reach college, they have a good base and start to specialize.

“Sports should mirror school,” he continued. “We want kids to build on all the different abilities, because they are cumulative. As they get older, they are in better shape to specialize.”

WHEREAS, the Deed of Trust was insured by the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (the Secretary) pursuant to the National Housing Act for the purpose of providing single family housing; and

WHEREAS, the beneficial interest of the Deed of Trust is now owned by the Secretary, pursuant to an assignment recorded on February 23, 2015 at Reception Number 2015010517 in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of the County of Douglas, Colorado.

NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to the powers vested in me by the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994, 12 U.S.C. 3751 et seq., by 24 CFR part 27, subpart B, and by the Secretary’s designation of me as Foreclosure Commissioner, recorded on November 1, 2017 at Reception No. 2017074607, notice is hereby given that on December 6, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. local time, all real and personal property at or used in connection with the following described premises (“Property”) will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder:

There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorated share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale.

When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling 10% of the Secretary’s bid in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not be accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of 10% of the Secretary’s bid must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash.

At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them.

The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extension will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due.

If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit, or at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder.

There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein, HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant.

Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.

Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.

Notices are meant to be noticed.

Read your public notices and get involved!

I-25 GAP FROM PAGE 6

The coalition members consist of representatives from Douglas, El Paso and Arapahoe counties, as well as seven cities, various HOA organizations and business alliances.

The advocacy group operates independently of CDOT’s current I-25 Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study focusing on the highway from Monument to C-470, but in parallel and collaboration with CDOT. The coalition has amassed several funding sources to cover the estimated $350 million cost of the project, including state, county and transportation money. They recently applied for an Infrastructure for Rebuilding America grant seeking $65 million for the Gap. Partridge said based on everything falling into place, construction on the project could begin as early as November 2018, with a tentative completion date of September 2020.

Members of the public are invited to attend an open house from 5 to 7 p.m. Dec. 5 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 500 Fairgrounds Road in Castle Rock, where they can receive updates and information regarding the project.
