Firefighters first built the star in 1936, and the town rebuilt it in 1949 to make it safer and sturdier, Croom said.

The idea for a star was sparked when town officials heard that residents of nearby Palmer Lake planned to build one. In the thick of the Great Depression, Castle Rock hoped a star would attract travelers to town, and built a star of its SEE STAR, P6

Douglas County law enforcement radios faded from public access early this month. Channels once available for anyone to hear now broadcast a stream of garbled talk and indistinguishable chatter that sporadically break up stretches of otherwise silent airwaves.

The agencies’ channels are officially encrypted, a move law enforcement leaders say is intended to shield citizens’ private information from public dissemination and to protect officers. It is part of a trend among first responders along the Front Range and nation — a trend that has raised alarms among media experts.

MY NAME IS

KELLEY BROCKMEYER

Castle Rock woman loves teaching, outdoors

About me I have lived in Colorado since 2000 and moved to Castle Rock in 2005. I am a mathematics teacher at D.C. Oakes High School (since 2003) and have been a teacher since 1991. I have a son who lives in Illinois (he is a musician) and a daugh ter who is in college here in Colorado (she is studying to be a nurse). I am married to Steve “Brock” and we have three spoiled dogs together!

Becoming a teacher I always wanted to be a teacher!

I remember playing school in my basement in Peoria, Ill. with my mom’s reader (“More Streets and Roads”) and her math book (third grade I think it was) and I was only 5 or 6. From then on, I wanted to be a teacher and I had great teachers who led me into a desire to teach

math. I graduated from Illinois State University with a major in math and immediately became a substitute in my high school for my old teacher! I briefly thought of doing something else (I went back to college to study accounting) but I quickly learned I loved teaching and had to go back into education. I have taught high school and junior college math and have been working in alternative high schools for most of my career (since 1996).

Making an impact I don’t know if teaching math is impactful, because most people say that it is their least favorite subject, but I do know I have spent many years finding ways to make it meaningful to real life. I do work with the Outdoor Education program at Oakes, which is probably more impactful to my students’ lives. I have spent almost 17 years outdoors with students all around Colorado and in Utah on two to eight-day trips! We get dirty and have so much fun! We have done community service for Mission:Wolf and the Colorado Trail

I have been a member of the International sorority Beta Sigma Phi since 1993 so I have been involved in many service projects with this women’s group. Most of my time off involves camping with my husband and dogs and reading. I love to spend time outdoors hiking and working on the xeriscape of my front yard.

When I retire, I would love to work in landscaping or just mow yards!

My advice Get a life, get an education! I tell my students this all the time! I have a poster above my classroom door with this saying. It’s so important to be educated and use your knowledge to do something you love.

STEM shooting defendant will be tried as adult Judge listened to days of testimony in hearing for Alec McKinney, 16

District Attorney George Brauchler is the lead prosecutor for the case against Alec McKinney, 16.

McKinney was charged with carrying out the May STEM school shooting.

FILE PHOTO

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The 16-year-old charged with carrying out a school shooting that left one dead and eight injured will be tried as an adult, according to a Dec. 4 ruling.

Douglas County District Court Judge Jeffrey Holmes ruled that in order to protect the community, it’s important to deter future attacks with “heightened consequences,” according to the order.

“The emotional and psychological impact of the offenses has included fear, anxiety, reluctance to return to school, decrease in trust of others, anxiety and depression,” he wrote.

Alec McKinney has been charged with 43 counts, including first-degree murder, in connection with the May 7 attack at STEM School Highlands Ranch that left one student dead and eight injured. Devon Erickson, 19, faces similar charges for his alleged role in the attack.

If convicted, McKinney would face a minimum sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole in 40 years.

Holmes’ judgment came after a sevenday reverse transfer hearing in November in which the defense worked to convince a judge to move the case back

to juvenile court.

In the ruling, the judge pointed out that even though the trial has not yet taken place, so far, evidence indicates “McKinney’s actions were not spontaneous, but purposeful and planned,” according to the order.

Holmes also expressed concern based on an incident in McKinney’s past where he gave prescription pills to a friend who later overdosed.

“Despite being involved in the juvenile justice system and seeing the potentially devastating consequences of his actions on another person’s life, McKinney moved forward with a plan to cause harm to others,” according to

the order.

In the hearing, District Attorney George Brauchler and public defender Ara Ohanian disagreed about what sentence would be possible in each court.

Ohanian claimed McKinney could still get life in prison through juvenile court and Brauchler argued he could get as little as two years.

Ohanian promised in his closing statement that if the case were to be moved back to juvenile court, the teen would plead guilty to all charges.

In his ruling, Holmes wrote that if McKinney is convicted and sentenced to the Department of Corrections, he would initially be placed in the Youth

Offender System. The Pueblo facility has programs for mental health, education and drug treatment, according to the order.

During the hearing, Holmes heard from Mckinney’s mother, various psychologists, victims’ families and detectives.

Holmes learned about abuse, drug use and violence that McKinney grew up around. He also heard about struggles that McKinney, who is biologically female, has experienced as a transgender boy.

Maria Castillo, whose son Kendrick was killed in the shooting, spoke during the last day of the hearing about losing her only child.

“My life is over,” she said. “He was my life.”

Her testimony left many people in the room, including McKinney, in tears.

During the hearing, Ohanian and Brauchler presented two sides of McKinney’s alleged crime: the prosecution drawing on the brutality of the crime and the defense pointing to a rough upbringing and a juvenile mind.

Following the judge’s ruling, Brauchler released a statement saying he is happy with the decision.

“I am satisfied and pleased that the court agreed that this mass shooting case should be resolved in adult court,” according to the statement. “It is my intention to move forward without any additional delay towards the jury trial.”

McKinney’s next hearing will be Dec. 16.

The Canyons could add hundreds more homes Residents fear traffic impacts while some weigh project benefits

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Owners of portions of The Canyons development are proposing a plan that, if approved, could bring The Canyons development to twice the size it was originally planned to be 10 years ago.

Meanwhile, neighboring Castle Rock is weighing how the whopping project will impact the town as some residents fear traffic impacts. The Castle Pines City Council was scheduled to review the proposal on Dec. 10.

The project owner, North Canyons, LLLP, is asking to build an additional 1,500 housing units on The Canyons property. The plan also dedicates 167.5 acres as parkland and 21.18 acres for future school sites.

The Canyons is a 3,343-acre planned development in Castle Pines first approved in 2009. The original plan permitted 2,500 dwelling units. In 2018, the city approved an additional 1,000 multi-family units for a total of 3,500 dwellings.

The site where the 1,500 homes are proposed stretches from Castle Pines in the north down to Castle Rock’s Sapphire Pointe neighborhood in the south and is owned by the Alpert family.

If approved, the latest amendment to the land use plan would allow a total of 5,000 housing units in The Canyons, double that of the 2009 proposal.

Castle Pines staff members are recommending council approve the application with certain conditions, according to city documents. The planning commission recommended approval in a 5-3 vote on Oct. 24.

Castle Pines City Manager Michael Penny said two of the major community benefits would be the park space and a high school and middle school land dedication.

“The community has wanted a large regional park. It looks right over Rueter Hess,” Penny said.

The Castle Rock Town Council on Dec. 3 weighed traffic impacts on town neighborhoods against residents’ desire for another way to access I-25.

If approved, the newest portion of The Canyons would construct a roadway linking Crowfoot Valley Road with Interstate 25 at Castle Pines Parkway.

There’s also a street planned on Cinnabar Drive in Sapphire Pointe that would connect Castle Rock with The Canyons.

Castle Rock’s Director of Development Services Bill Detweiler told council they anticipate residents of Sapphire Pointe would use the connecting street to access The Canyons roads and travel north to I-25, but that it’s less likely The Canyons residents would use the road to travel south into Castle Rock.

A proposal to build 1,500 more homes in The Canyons development would stretch from Castle Pines and abut Castle Rock neighborhoods.

JESSICA GIBBS

Councilmember James Townsend, who represents Sapphire Pointe, said he believes constituents want another route to I-25 in the area.

“I get far more questions asking when we are going to have that connection made,” Townsend said.

Council directed staff to discuss with Castle Pines where the connecting road on Cinnabar Drive should be located and the addition of buffer zones between The Canyons and Castle Rock.

They will also request that the density and lot size in portions of The Canyons near Sapphire Pointe match those in the Castle Rock neighborhood.

Castle Rock residents living where the connector street is planned said they worry the proposal will worsen traffic on their neighborhood streets, along Crowfoot Valley Road and in surrounding areas.

Jordan Trevino and her family moved from Parker in November to a home near the connector street’s proposed location. Today they look out their windows to see open land, cattle grazing and the occasional coyote.

She’s worried the new housing will drive out wildlife and deplete views, she said, and in general wishes the growth rate in Douglas County would slow down. She thinks new access points to I-25 in The Canyons could help relieve congestion not only in Castle Rock but in Parker too.

“We like the pluses, but not the minuses,” she said.

The development’s project coordinator, Mary Hart, said she’s spoken to Sapphire Pointe resident and homeowner association board member Lyn Jacobs about traffic concerns.

“We understand that, and we’ve hired a traffic consultant,” Hart said. “We have a lot of improvements to make for the project that is recommended by the traffic consultant and they would occur over time as the project is developed.”

Hart noted the city would assess traffic needs with each plat in the course of the development and could require new or more improvements in the future.

When asked about their overall vision for the development and specific details about traffic improvements, Hart deferred to their application and traffic study.

She added that the street connecting SEE CANYONS, P10

5 THINGS TO KNOW

Clear the Air Foundation takes donated cars, provides auto tech scholarships

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

I

n 2007, Colorado’s then-Gov. Bill Ritter made a push to tackle climate change. Among the efforts: suggesting that Colorado adopt a policy similar to California’s stringent auto-emission regulations.

The Colorado Automobile Dealers Association opposed that idea, but it put forth a vision of its own.

“Most vehicle emissions come from older, high-polluting vehicles. It is our opinion that rather than heavily regulating new vehicles, the most effective solution is to permanently remove as many of these older, high-polluting vehicles as possible,” said Mark Zeigler, director of Clear the Air Foundation.

Thus, that foundation was born, an arm of the dealers’ association that takes in donated vehicles, recycles them and puts the proceeds toward scholarships for Colorado students looking to enter the automotive technician field.

With about 12 years under its belt, the foundation has taken thousands of cars off the road and counting. Here’s a look at how it all works and what the organization has its eye on.

How it works The nonprofit foundation was created in 2007 by the board of directors of the dealers’ association. Zeigler became the foundation’s director in 2018.

“When vehicles are donated, the engines are always destroyed, ensuring that we are clearing the air. Other parts are either recycled or parted out,” Ziegler said.

The foundation accepts vehicle donations from anyone in Colorado, and since it’s a 501(c)3, donors may get a tax benefit. It also takes in cash donations, which are combined with proceeds from the sale of vehicles to fund scholarships.

Racking up numbers Clear the Air is budgeted to provide $50,000 in scholarships annually. By partnering with school foundations, the foundation can receive matching funds, which doubles the award, Ziegler said.

“We also work with Matco Tools and Snap-on Tools to take advantage of their student discount programs. These programs provide students with a 50% discount, which doubles the award,” Ziegler said. “We anticipate the total value of scholarships awarded in 2019 to exceed $100,000.”

Donations to Clear the Air come from all over Colorado, and its largest donor in 2018 and so far in 2019 is the Pueblo Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram store.

Most donations come from new car dealers, and the foundation also takes donations from the public.

“I can tell you that in 2019, the average age of donated vehicles is 19 years,” Ziegler said.

Fueling education Most of the foundation’s scholarships go to students enrolled in a two-year auto tech program.

“Also, we are able to recognize employees at new car dealerships in a formal apprenticeship program with a tool scholarship,” Ziegler said.

There are thousands of jobs available in Colorado alone, according to Ziegler.

“According to the National Automobile Dealers Association, the average pay for an automotive technician is more than $61,000 a year, plus benefits,” Ziegler said. “A master certified automotive technician can earn more than $100,000 a year if they have the right work ethic.”

Pulling thousands off road As of Dec. 5, the foundation has permanently taken 4,421 vehicles off the road, Ziegler said.

“Over the past five years, we’ve averaged 619 each year,” Ziegler added. “However, we are already at 731 this year. We received the 501(c)3 designation in 2011; at that point, we could recycle vehicles.”

Addressing shortage For now, the foundation is focusing on increasing vehicle donations and getting more people interested in an auto tech career.

“We have a significant skills shortage across the country and here in Colorado,” Ziegler said. “There has been a focus on four-year degrees, to the detriment of skilled trades careers. A two-year associate’s degree in an automotive technician program can run around $14,000. Some schools even provide tools as part of tuition.”

STAR FROM PAGE 1

own.

Many of the materials used in 1936 were donated by nearby businesses, and contributions included The Rock itself. George P. Stewart offered the land to Castle Rock to build the star.

“The Rock used to be private property, and this gentlemen was kind enough to donate it,” Croom said.

The star is 40 feet high and 40 feet wide, constructed of iron poles, and illuminated by 100 bulbs.

The town has lit the star every year since its construction, today for a cost of approximately $600 each season, except for during World War II, when the holiday seasons from 1941 through 1944 did not include lighting.

“We had an energy crisis. Electricity was scarce,” Croom said.

In 1945, the star was converted into a “V” for victory to mark the end of the war. Maintenance and upkeep is largely provided by volunteers within the fire department. Two volunteers, Tammy Denhard and Matt Rettmer, have dedicated decades to maintaining and repairing the star.

Denhard told council the star requires experienced volunteers to maintain it because of its size. She and Rettmer must use harnesses and ropes to climb the structure when working on it.

“We’re both pretty well-trained in what we do,” Rettmer said.

The town’s annual Starlighting celebration began in 1965. The town lights the star at the celebration one week before Thanksgiving, and it remains lit through the end of the National Western Stock Show in January.

The Starlighting celebration draws thousands each year for food, drinks and music before the lighting of the star and a fireworks show.

The star is sometimes lit outside of the Christmas season to mark special events, such as the Broncos Super Bowl wins, following Sept. 11, 2001 and the 100th anniversary of the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo. Following the death of Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office Deputy Zackari Parrish in 2017, the town changed the star to include a thin blue line.

Croom noted that modern-day volunteers must haul up supplies by hand after climbing The Rock, just a they did when the star was built and rebuilt.

“That was still quite a feat,” he said.

Highlands Ranch hospital steps into future of medicine

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

COUPON EXPIRES 12/12/19

The moment a stroke patient arrives in the emergency room, doctors spring into action — the countdown is on and as every second passes, neurons are being suffocated.

That’s why having a stroke expert available at all times is a necessity.

But what happens when the expert is outside of the hospital?

UCHealth Highlands Ranch has a solution: Telehealth.

Through the hospital’s Telestroke program, an expert can connect with patients and on-site doctors in a matter of seconds via video. As the patient undergoes a CT scan, the doctor can begin a physical exam through a screen on wheels—a machine known around the hospital as “Jarvis.”

“Time is tissue,” said Dr. Ben Usatch, medical director of the hospital’s emergency department. “If you don’t get them treated quickly, people die.”

Telestroke is just one part of the hospital’s initiative to integrate technology throughout its healthcare system. Other programs include virtual urgent care visits — so patients don’t have to leave their homes to deal with

CCM 12-12-19

illnesses like the flu — and virtual monitoring to help prevent things like infections or falls from bed.

The goal of such programs is to connect affordable, easy care to patients while freeing up doctors to spend less time on clerical work and more time with sick people, said Dr. Christopher Davis, UCHealth system’s medical director of virtual health.

“Healthcare has a problem. We have skyrocketing costs and an aging population,” Davis said. “The whole idea is: Can we use technology and innovation to scale the health care needs of our country? That’s what we’re all about here.”

Davis spoke with a Colorado Community Media reporter one afternoon in early December via a “virtual visit” set up through the hospital’s smartphone app. After a list of questions was completed through an online form, Davis appeared in the video feed, wearing a headset and sitting in the Virtual Health Center in Aurora.

In any given day at the center, there is one physician, one advanced practice provider, three to four critical care nurses and 17 technicians, he said.

“We’re making a bet that digital health is the wave of the future in health care,” Davis said. “We want to be on the leading edge of that curve.”

The video feed is clear enough for conversations and even a look into a sick throat if needed. Patients can use these visits for things like a cold, a UTI or pink eye.

Dr. Mike Mitchell, an emergency medicine physician, sits at the UCHealth Virtual Health Center in Aurora. The center connects patients to a variety of virtual services including video appointments, virtual sitting and vital monitoring.

Some primary care clinics and about 15 subspecialties within the hospital system also allow virtual visits.

Virtual vitals Outside of about 15 video visits every day, the virtual health care center also monitors the vitals of about 1,000

patients daily.

Through machines attached to the patients, the health center receives data on respiration rates, heart rates, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and skin temperature.

Nurses are required to take these measurements every four hours, but between those time periods, a lot can change with their patients, said Katrina Doyle, a UCHealth charge nurse.

With the vitals being updated every

minute, nurses get notifications about changing vitals much quicker.

“It’s like an extra nurse,” Doyle said. “I think it’s good.”

One focus for the hospital is to reduce the number of deaths caused by sepsis, or a lifethreatening infection. Similar to strokes, every minute counts when a patient is experiencing sepsis, making early detection vital.

Through this new program, patients with sepsis are treated about two hours quicker, Davis said.

If those in the virtual health center see that a patient is in danger of sepsis, they can call a nurse and see if they need help beginning treatment. If the nurse is swamped with other patients, the virtual helper can begin administering antibiotics from their desk in Aurora.

Kathryn McCune, 63, a UCHealth patient diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, was admitted for trouble with her liver. After a few nights with the vital-checking equipment, she said she was grateful for the technology.

“I think it’s great,” she said.

“Last night there was a couple times when it went off…the nurse was here in a matter of

seconds to check on me.”

McCune is also diabetic and it gives her peace of mind to know that if her blood sugar is abnormal, it will be detected promptly.

While nurses still get vitals every four hours, even in the night, it’s not as invasive and she can get better sleep, she said.

Techs at the health center also watch video feeds of about 35 other patients per day who are at risk of falling.

In the past, patients in need of monitoring—usually elderly people—required someone to sit in the room with them. Now, one person in the virtual health center can watch 10 people at a time, keeping an eye out for restlessness, tugging on IV’s or attempts to get out of bed.

When they spot this, they can speak into a microphone that feeds into the room, asking them to wait while a nurse is notified.

While some in the medical community have expressed concern about introducing this much technology into healthcare, Davis doesn’t share their worries. In fact, a big part of his job is working to change the hearts and minds of doctors who don’t want to take medicine in this direction, he said.

“Robots aren’t going to replace doctors,” he said. “But doctors who use robots are going to replace doctors who don’t.”

Douglas County School Board selects leadership New directors sworn in, with choice of officers made on following day

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School Board swore in newly elected directors and selected board leadership in early December after receiving official school board balloting results from the county.

Incumbent David Ray joined new faces on the board, Elizabeth Hanson and Susan Meek, for a swearing-in ceremony on Dec. 2 where the directors took the oath of office. At the board’s regularly scheduled Dec. 3 meeting, directors elected the board president, vice president, secretary and treasurer.

Board officers hold their position for two years and can serve two terms in that position.

Ray was the only nomination for board president and will serve his second two-year term in the position. Director Krista Holtzmann nominated Ray, citing his experience as a board director and board president as qualifications.

Holtzmann also praised him as someone who prioritizes students and for his role

during the nationwide search for Superintendent Thomas Tucker.

Ray said he was flattered by Holtzmann’s comments and that serving as president was an honor.

“It’s important for me for you to know,” he told directors, “that I expect you to push back and treat me as an equal colleague and that my voice, just because I have an idea, doesn’t mean it’s the right one. And I really would encourage you to continue to Ray challenge me in terms of my leadership.”

Holtzmann was then selected as vice president through a 5-2 secret ballot vote over Director Kevin Leung, who nominated himself for vice president. Director Christina Ciancio-Schor nominated Holtzmann, stating she was confident Holtzmann could step in as president if needed.

Director Anthony Graziano later nominated Leung for board treasurer, naming his experience as a local business owner and precision in reviewing district budgets as reasons he’s the best director for the position. Leung was the only nominee for treasurer.

Director Hanson was nominated by Director Meek for secretary and was unanimously selected for the position.

Just to the north of Douglas County, the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office and at least some local police departments in the county plan to encrypt by mid-January, a spokeswoman for the sheriff ’s office confirmed. In nearby Denver and Aurora, police departments have already blocked scanner access.

The Castle Rock, Parker and Lone Tree police departments and Elbert County law enforcement encrypted with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office on Dec. 2.

A South Metro Fire Rescue spokesman said the department remains unencrypted and has no plans to block its communications.

The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office has offered some local media organizations access to encrypted channels, including those of the local police departments.

On Nov. 25, Sheriff Tony Spurlock sent a letter to local media explaining his decision to encrypt and included a memorandum of understanding, or MOU. News organizations must sign the MOU to access the encrypted channels, and only “legitimate” media outlets, as determined by the sheriff ’s office, would be able to do so, the letter states.

Of the eight media organizations offered access, none had signed the contract as of Dec. 2, Undersheriff Holly Nicholson-Kluth said. Colorado Community Media received and reviewed the MOU but had not made a decision on whether to sign it as of the reporting of this story.

While media outlets would be able to hear encrypted channels if they sign the document, members of the public will not have that access. They can receive recordings of radio traffic through a public records request after an incident occurs, but their requests would be subject to Colorado’s open records laws and could be denied, such as if an investigation is still open.

The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office piloted encrypting some but not all its channels after the death of one of its deputies, Zackari Parrish, during an incident that drew a multi-agency response to Highlands Ranch in December 2017.

They have since decided asking officers to switch from public to encrypted channels during serious incidents is too dangerous, Nicholson-Kluth said,

CANYONS FROM PAGE 5

Castle Rock to The Canyons is required by the town to provide Sapphire Pointe another route out of the neighborhood during emergencies. They’re open to discussing whether the road should be public or for emergency vehicle use only, she said.

Jacobs lives within 300 feet of The Canyons property and also near the connecting street’s proposed location.

She has several concerns with the development, she said. She’s against

and they fear some criminals use scanners to track law enforcement.

Media experts have long warned that radio encryption diminishes transparency toward the public and hinders journalists’ ability to report news swiftly.

Jeff Roberts, executive director of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition, told Colorado Community Media in August he understands law enforcement’s arguments in favor of encryption, but that serious concerns for transparency and the public’s right to know back arguments against encrypting.

Colorado Press Association CEO Jill Farschman said there is no statistically significant data showing unencrypted channels are dangerous, “despite a lot of fearmongering.” More encryption means less transparency, she said.

“It means the public will be increasingly subjected to information that comes from non-objective sources, such as public information offices,” she said.

Farschman said law enforcement agencies in other states have successfully used encrypted channels in urgent situations and open channels on a regular basis for some time.

“The argument that that’s such an arduous process, it just doesn’t hold water,” she said.

Josh Hans, spokesman for the Parker Police Department, said scanners often air personal details like a crime victim’s date of birth and address that is not public information. There’s no value in making that available on scanners, he said.

“We have long been weighing the balance with the media and the public’s right to know, at the same time, balancing it with the public’s privacy, more specifically victim privacy information, as well as officer safety,” Hans said.

Farschman said the Colorado Press Association was not aware of citizens expressing concern for their own privacy on scanner traffic.

“It’s kind of a solution searching for a problem,” she said.

Nicholson-Kluth and Hans said the amount of mental health and medical information sent over scanners is increasing, furthering agencies’ desire to encrypt.

“We firmly believe the media will be responsible with this information, that’s why we still want the media to have access,” Hans said. “We feel like by allowing the media to still have access to our radio control, we’re still granting the Fourth Estate the ability to do their job and monitor us.”

the additional housing and worries it will add too much density in the area.

She also worries traffic will increase in her neighborhood and along Crowfoot Valley Road.

Jacobs would not mind if the street connecting Sapphire Pointe to The Canyons were an emergency vehicle road only, but fears a public street would lead to heavy traffic near her home. And unlike Trevino, Jacobs said she doesn’t see any good elements to The Canyons proposal.

“Honestly, no. I don’t see anything positive. I think growth in our entire region is out of hand,” she said. “We just don’t want that traffic.”

Brewer creates beer in honor of STEM victim ‘Kendrick’s Ale: Remembering a Hero’ benefited teen’s robotics club

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Kendrick Castillo used to hang around his dad’s homebrewing friends, he made quite an impression.

When one friend, who now owns Strange Craft Beer Company in Denver, learned of the 18-year-old’s death, he decided to make a beer in his honor. “Kendrick was obviously an amazing young man,� owner Tim Myers said.

Sales of the beer, called “Kendrick’s Ale: Remembering a Hero� benefited the robotics club that Kendrick was a member of.

Kendrick was killed during the May 7 STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting. He was fatally shot while rushing one of the two alleged gunmen. Eight other people were injured in the attack.

Myers got to know John and Maria Castillo in the early 2000s through a group of homebrewing friends. “We all just randomly got together on occasional Saturdays and we’d taste what we’d brewed last time and make new beers,� he said.

Myer’s son and Kendrick used to play together, he said. “We’re trying to remember an amazing young man and try to turn an unfortunate, horrible negative into something positive,� he said. “And hopefully help the healing process for John and Maria.�

The brewery hosted an event and candlelight vigil to sell the beer Nov. 15. “That was amazing,â€? Myers said. “It was nonstop from when we opened at noon until things calmed down at 10‌A lot of people came to support Kendrick and his parents.â€?

During the vigil, John Castillo and others shared memories of Kendrick, he said.

The hefeweizen, wheat-style beer was made with orange peel and Colorado honey, to make it bittersweet, Myers said. “Because we’re remembering an amazing young man,� he said. “But (we’re) also remembering a tragedy.�

Harry could fit in your dog’s back pocket.

The cadence of a dog’s barking that goes on for two hours or more is, at the very least, unpleasant.

It can exceed unpleasant and become angering.

Dogs bark. Faucets drip. Car alarms go off.

Know someone who clicks their pen? Makes loud noises when they eat? Cracks their gum?

It breaks my concentration, and I’m likely to slip from active voice to passive voice without even knowing it.

“Smith, why don’t you soundproof your house?”

There’s an idea. I’m sure it would do the trick and not cost more than thousands of dollars, and covering those costs on a pension would be a snap.

There have been instances of neighbors fighting fire with fire.

All it would take is a recording of a barking pinscher blared from my backyard.

o you want better results? For most of us, the answer is yes.

We want better results in one or more areas of our personal lives or in our business. As a matter of fact, when I have asked people what achieving “better” results means for them, I typically hear words like improve, WINNING increase, expand, and reduce. Not sure WORDS about you, but when I think about getting better results, those words make sense to me too.

The next question I ask is where it gets interesting and a little harder for some people to find an Michael Norton answer. The question is this, “What will you do differently to achieve better results?” Think about that question for just a moment with me and why it gets a little tricky sometimes. Just look at a few of the words in the sentence, and you might be able to

see where we can get stuck. “Will.”

“You.” “Do.” “Differently.”

When I ask someone what they “will” do, I am not asking what they would do, could do, or should do, I am asking them specifically what they “will” do differently that will help them achieve better results. Have you ever found yourself in the woulda, coulda, shoulda trap? We all have at some point, I’m sure, and if only we focused on that one little word, “will,” we can improve and increase our likelihood of success and absolutely reduce the chances of our failure.

The next word to pay attention to in the question is “You.” I don’t ask them what their friend will do, or their associate will do differently, I ask each person a very precise question, what will “you” do differently to realize better results? We can always use help from co-workers, friends, and trusted advisors, however there is an old saying that is just as true today as it was yesterday, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me.” If improved, increased,

Planning is critically important, but planning will only get us so far. At some point we must deliver, execute, and get the job done. I do not ask them what they are going to do, or what they have done in the past.

Instead, I ask everyone what they intend to “do” differently in order to exceed their expectations around the results they desire and goals they have set for themselves or their business. The greatest opportunity for achieving better results is found in the “do” of our doing, no excuses, just “do.”

hen Andrew Fraser was a boy growing up in Littleton, he knew he wanted to fly. Not only would he daydream of gliding through the sky, but at night, he would have active lucid dreams about flying.

He was finally able to realize his dreams of flying after skydiving 200 times — the number of times required by the United States Parachute Association to fly in a wingsuit, which is a one-piece article of clothing that allows a person to glide through the air while freefalling.

The art of wingsuit flying isn’t the province of reckless people on the fringe of society, Fraser says, despite the fact that he jumps from high in the sky to the ground.

Instead, it’s done by extreme sport athletes who are thoughtful, calculated and grounded individuals.

“While it does require a degree of athleticism, strength and bal-

said Fraser. “It’s what many describe as a flow state, that feeling of being totally present in the moment and really in the state of total connection with my surroundings.”

Like Fraser’s hobby, other extreme sports such as parkour, free soloing and snowboarding take a dedicated amount of training and practice to accomplish. At the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, the “Extreme Sports: Beyond Human Limits” exhibit gives visitors a chance to learn about those sports and to explore the psychology, physicality and physiology of extreme sport athletes.

The exhibit is interactive and gives visitors plenty of ways to experience extreme sports like virtually jumping off a cliff, completing a course developed by the American Ninja Warriors at Ninja Nation, seeing what it’s like to be in charge of a wingsuit — and going into the

exhibit’s Immersion Room, where visitors can experience what it’s like to ride a mountain bike through a Utah desert, kayak on whitewater and more.

The temporary exhibit, which comes from the Canadian museum Science North, located near Sudbury in northern Ontario, includes a touch of Colorado spirit by featuring stories about Colorado athletes like Fraser; Maureen Beck, an ice and rock climber who was born without a left hand; and others.

“We have a really fascinating exhibit that tells stories of real people who are some of the world’s most amazing athletes. At the same time, there’s access for people of every age where they can come in here and find something to do that fits their physical and intellectual levels,” said Tim Blesse, teacher professional development coordinator at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. “It’s a great time out for the whole family.”

Other features of the exhibit include quizzes that help you see how gutsy you are to perform the activities extreme athletes do and videos that show visitors what is going through an athlete’s mind while they perform their extreme sport.

The exhibit is open until April 12, 2020 and is free with general museum admission.

“The most compelling thing is it has me think about challenge in new ways, how to incorporate more challenge and think about challenge in my everyday life. The exhibition just does a good job of exploring challenge and how to do it,” said Jodi Schoemer, director of experiences and partnerships at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. “By seeing it, I feel like a more empowered individual.”

Paintings, photos bring outdoors indoors ‘Near and Far’ show is celebration of scenery

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One walks into the exhibit room at Bemis Library in Littleton and breathing immediately gets easier.

Blue skies, green trees, fresh air and sounds of nature surround a viewer of “Near and Far,” an exhibit of plein air paintings by Highlands Ranch artist Julia Grundmeier and photographic images by Carl Paulson, who says his experience as an Alaskan native for his first 18 years gives him a special view of nature.

Grundmeier is a retired teacher, after 21 years at Homestead Elementary School in the Cherry Creek School District. She started after her 1999 retirement with classes at the Art Students League of Denver, plus a number of painting workshops with

COURTESY PHOTO “wonderful instructors,” and loves to paint outdoors whenever she can,

including traveling with friends to paint. “There’s nothing like being on the edge of the canyon,” she observed.

Note her “Highlands Ranch Evening” with an “amazing sky over the foothills.” She has fond memories of painting in Kawaneechi Valley in Rocky Mountain National Park, where a mama moose eyed her while she recorded its world.

And, look at: “Mabel’s Dovecoats” by Paulson, shot at Mabel Dodge Luhan’s home in New Mexico — or his “Delusions of Grandeur” — a young ram in a Western landscape … or “High Alert” — a mama bear and cubs, alarmed that a male bear is nearby, a threat to the young creatures.

Both artists are active members of the Littleton Fine Arts Guild, which operates the Depot Art Gallery. She is membership chairman, he is treasurer and both exhibit their artwork there. “People don’t know we’re here,” Paulson commented about the historic red Santa Fe Depot with about 60 Guild members.

Paulson, a native of Alaska, is a petroleum engineer, who learned that exhibit spots at the library are available and invited Grundmeier to join him for this exhibit.

He talks about going for a drive anywhere after work and finding new places to hike and capture with his camera, as well as trips back to Alaska, where he spent his first 18 years and returned to record many images of brown bears — relatives of the grizzly.

Grundmeier loves to take her easel, palette and paints outside — “working on location helps me to capture the play of light, atmosphere and true color of a moment in time. Working outdoors can be challenging, but it is important to have a ‘sense of place.’”

She also enjoys painting near her home in Grand Lake.

“Near and Far” will remain at the library gallery through December. Visit it when returning or picking up books for a little vacation tour. Open during library hours.

Some advice for sending holiday greetings

BY TRACEE M. HERBAUGH ASSOCIATED PRESS

quette and wrote the book “Spinach in Your Boss’s Teeth: Essential Etiquette for Professional Success” (Silver Fern, 2016). Nowadays, Clise said, many women have also disavowed the title Mrs. for Ms., which does not spotlight one’s marital status.

It’s that holiday-card time of year again.

But before you open up the address book or spreadsheet, read up on some modern etiquette for addressing those to whom you’re sending your jolly good tidings.

Holiday cards, particularly Christmas cards, are big business. Leading greeting-card maker Hallmark estimates 1.3 billion Christmas cards are sent annually in the United States.

Every holiday season, I receive a handful of cards addressed to “Mr. and Mrs. Mark Peacock’’ — my husband’s name. And every year I’m flummoxed that some in our circle haven’t noticed that Mark and I have never shared a last name.

Eighteen years into her marriage, Karen Greco, a publicist and writer who lives in Rhode Island and New York City, says friends and family are finally starting to use her surname.

“I just kept using my own name when sending thank you cards or other correspondence,’’ she says.

“Sometimes I made a point to say, ‘I kept my name,’ like, to my dad.’’

Greco’s father, whom she described

If you don’t know, ask Experts agree that the first step in addressing holiday cards is to know your recipients’ preferences.

Are they married with separate or hyphenated names? Was a new, blended name created? Do their children have different surnames?

“If you ever have a question, just send the person a text or email and ask,” says Jodi R.R. Smith, owner of Mannersmith Etiquette Consulting in Marblehead, Massachusetts. “You should know if a name is hyphenated, and which name comes first, which comes second.’’

You can use a less formal approach by writing one family member’s last name, usually the person you know best, and addressing the card to the “family’’: “The Jones family,’’ for instance, or “Ralph Jones and family.’’

A new courtesy title, Mx. (pronounced “Mix’’), has been embraced by some transgender, nonbinary or gender-neutral people as an alternative to Mr. or Ms. It was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2015, but the etiquette is evolving, and Smith recommends tailoring “Mx.’’ to the

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

as “kind of old school,’’ was surprised at the correction.

“But I think he was also happy about it,’’ she says. “He totally got it, and he never even asked why. Just said OK and addressed me correctly.’’

Etiquette is based on historical precedent, but also follows cultural shifts, of which there have been many in recent decades. In other words, “Mr. and Mrs. Husband’s Name’’ doesn’t cut it anymore for a lot of people.

“To address people that way is pretty outdated,’’ says Arden Clise, who owns Seattle-based Clise Eti-

recipient’s preference.

“I actually recommend contacting them individually and asking how they prefer to be addressed formally,’’ she says.

Traditionally, the man’s name came first in addressing a married couple, but now the opposite is proper, Smith says. Address a card with the woman’s name first. And for any married couple, she says, etiquette requires an “and’’ between the two names.

Cut senders some slack There are lots of new rules; understand when it is and isn’t appropriate to be an etiquette cop.

“Don’t bother trying to change your elderly relative,’’ Smith says. “But if your cousin doesn’t know your name, send him a gentle email after the holidays are over and suggest he make the change in his master list.’’ Close the email with a positive note or two, she says, something like “Can’t wait to see you at the family reunion next fall!’’

And don’t let address worries scare you off from sending these annual greetings. People love getting cards in the mail.

Hallmark’s website says nearly 75 percent of consumers who send holiday cards do so because they know it feels good to receive them.

“When in doubt, always send the card,’’ Smith says. “This is such a wonderful way to keep in touch with family and friends.’’

Wildlife star in Backcountry social media Online photos show elk, bears, bobcats and more

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Highlands Ranch Backcountry’s best trail photos of the year are now being showcased through the conservation property’s social media, showing bears, elk, bobcats and more wandering through the wilderness area.

The photos are from various locations across the 13-square-mile property, which is owned and maintained by the Highlands Ranch Community Association.

Every Tuesday until the end of the December, the Backcountry team will be sharing their favorite photos from the year on their Facebook page, @ HRCABackcountry, using the tag #trailcamtuesday.

“It’s a great way to educate our community on the diversity of wildlife that exists in the Backcountry,” spokeswoman Lindsey McKissick said. “The community gets an up-close look at the local wildlife with minimal impact to the animals or their habitats.”

Staff placed the trail cameras near water sources in the Backcountry to help their biologists monitor herd health, species numbers, diversity and patterns, she said.

LETTERS FROM PAGE 12

arranged in such a way that the public had little opportunity to comment.

The first was via conference call, normally used for time-sensitive decisions. The second was a spare two days later, essentially silencing public input. A more typical time frame between readings is a full month.

Additionally, the board took action without knowing the cost of the decision. For a body charged with protecting the library’s financial health, this is an utter failure to serve the taxpayers whose money they spend.

We now have the final bill, which comes in just under $11,000. Imagine the useful things the library could have done with that money.

Our library system is well-loved, well-used, and staffed by dynamic and devoted employees. It is owned not by the board or the county commissioners, but by us. Shame on them for shaking public trust in this vital community resource.

Eleanor Brown Highlands Ranch Kudos to library board Like James Larue, I was absolutely astonished and surprised when the Highlands Ranch Library name was changed to James Larue in 2014. I questioned the library board at the

time as to why this change was justified and received a “because we said so” type response from them, not something I expected when dealing with a taxpayer-funded county entity.

That name change dismayed me because I am not in favor of any public work or building being named after a politician or any other public employee, living or dead. It is one thing to name them after a fallen soldier, police officer or firefighter, which I think can be justified, but not a living former mid-level county bureaucrat like Jamie Larue.

In any case I applaud the decision to remove his name from my library and I agree with the library policy that nothing should bear the name of a living person. As justification consider the nearby Arapahoe County jail that was named after living former Sheriff Patrick Sullivan from 2002-12.

His name had to be removed after he was convicted in a meth-for-sex case in 2012.

William A. Henning Highlands Ranch An irresponsible move As a taxpayer, homeowner, parent and regular patron of Douglas County Libraries, I was disappointed to learn that the Douglas County Libraries Board of Trustees had decided to spend thousands of our tax dollars on renaming the James H. LaRue Library in Highlands Ranch for no compelling reason.

For the cost of the sign change, how many programs supporting early literacy for children could have been held instead? How many more speaker series or book talks could have been held for our seniors? How many safe programs for teens could have been offered? How many items for check out could have been purchased with this money? All of these uses benefit our entire community and are what we pay our tax dollars to support.

I am also concerned that community members might hesitate to donate to the library in the future, based on the lack of fiscal responsibility in this decision.

James H. LaRue built the public library system we enjoy today, which is why our county gave him the well-deserved honor of naming a branch for him. Spending money to remove the sign, whether tax dollars or donated funds were used, is obviously simply irresponsible.

Constance Ingram Highlands Ranch A revealing opportunity We will not lie, steal or cheat, nor tolerate anyone among us who does.

This rather quaint and simple sentence is the Air Force Academy cadet honor code. This code was adopted in the 1950s by the first class to attend the academy and is unique as it is self and peer policed.

If articles of impeachment are filed against the president, the American

people will know if our president lied to us, stole from us or cheated us.

More importantly, we will know the names of every elected representative, and their constitutes, who supports or condemns this behavior. Hopefully, our elected representatives will police themselves and not leave it up to the American people.

Roy Legg Highlands Ranch

End carriage rides A lump of coal to the organizers of the Castle Rock Home and Holiday Show for promoting outdated horse drawn carriage rides. Forcing horses to pull carriages is not only cruel to the horse but poses a danger to both riders and bystanders. Horses are prey animals, meaning their natural instinct is to run if threatened and horses can be easily spooked by loud noises, children rushing toward them or when placed in crowded environments. The few companies willing to offer carriage insurance consider it “high risk” and note: “While horse and carriage accidents don’t appear on the news very often, they do occur fairly regularly.”

Placing the public and the animals at risk for the purpose of entertainment and financial gain is misguided.

Let’s use our horse sense and end this quaint and unnecessary tradition.

Athlete is the all-around deal Julianna Dalton chosen as Volleyball Player of Year

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Julianna Dalton’s performance in the girls state volleyball finals at the Denver Coliseum cemented the selection of the Chaparral standout as the 2019 Colorado Community Media Volleyball Player of the Year.

Dalton was dominant in the 3-1 state title win over Valor Christian on Nov. 16.

“Julianna is the most well-rounded player in the state,” said Chaparral coach Amanda West. “Teams base their scouting report around her, yet she consistently achieves the top in all categories in the state: attacking percentage, digs, aces, and blocks. Other coaches are extremely impressed with her attacking and blocking, but at 6-5, they are blown away with her serving, digging and passing.

“Julianna goes wherever the team needs her based on our scouting report of the other team. She will be a middle if the other middle is a primary, or a right side if the other team has a great outside. Not only is Julianna athletic, but her leadership skills are incredible both on and off the court. She is a team captain and leads our team physically, mentally, and emotionally, pushing each SEE DALTON, P39

Move pays off for Regis Jesuit standout Lauren Pendergast named Field Hockey Player of the Year

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lauren Pendergast is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Field Hockey Player of the Year.

PAUL DISALVO

Lauren Pendergast, sometimes better known by her nickname of LP, changed positions this season and still led the Regis Jesuit field hockey team in points.

Pendergast moved to center midfield this season and finished with 30 points (11 goals, eight assists) and helped the Raiders advance to the state finals.

LP is the 2019 Colorado Community Media South Metro Field Hockey Player of the Year.

“I practiced a lot during the off season and also changed positions,” said Pendergast. “I used to play on the outside. I was a winger on the right mid. I played center mid this year so that was a little different, SEE PENDERGAST, P39

he high school basketball season tipped off Dec. 2, when schools were allowed to play their first games.

Cherry Creek boys coach Kent Dertinger will have to wait a little longer to see how this season’s team will come together.

The Bruins opened the season Dec. 5-7 with games against Grand Junction Central, Fruita Monument and Grand Junction in the Warrior Challenge.

However, five basketball players missed the tournament because they played for the victorious Bruins in the state championship football game on Dec. OVERTIME 7 against Columbine.

Quarterback Julian Hammond III, defensive back and kick returner Myles Purchase, tight end Gunnar Helm and defensive ends Arden Walker and Delonte Dickey also play Jim Benton basketball.

Hammond, whose grandfather was former ABA Denver Rockets player Julian Hammond, and Purchase led the team last season as sophomores in scoring with 20.5 and 13.0 point-pergame averages.

“Myles and Julian are always handling the basketball even during the football season,” Dertinger said. “It will take them some time to get their basketball legs and wind but we will ease them in.

“I expect that they will play Dec. 12 at Boulder for us, but I will have to manage their time.”

Dertinger pointed out there will be two Hammonds playing this season.

“Interesting side note is Julian’s little brother Christian is a ninthgrader and made the trip to Grand Junction, and he certainly helped us at the varsity level,” the coach said.

National competitors Colorado state 5A cross country champions Cole Sprout, a senior at Valor Christian, and Riley Stewart, a sophomore who goes to Cherry Creek, won individual titles at the NXR Southwest Regionals Nov. 23 in Casa Grande, Arizona.

The top five finishers plus the top two teams qualified for the 16th annual Nike Cross Nationals, which were scheduled to be held Dec. 7 in Portland, Oregon.

Sprout won the regional event with a time of 14:41.4. Stewart captured the women’s 5,000 meter regional title with a time of 17:03.8.

E-470 ExpressToll customers continue to save STAFF REPORT

An ExpressToll rate freeze implemented Jan. 1, 2018, will keep 2017 toll rates in place for ExpressToll drivers on E-470 through 2020 after a unanimous vote by the E-470 board of directors.

According to a news release, the November 2017 decision of the E-470 board of directors to freeze ExpressToll rates marked the first time since the 47-mile user-financed roadway opened that tolls were frozen. The decision also included a reduction of the ExpressToll rate at Toll Plaza C (between I-70 and Pena Boulevard) by 25 cents. The reduced rate will stay in effect again in 2020, the release said.

“Due to E-470’s conservative fiscal policy and organizational management, as well as increased use of the E-470 toll road, the board is again able to keep tolls unchanged for the coming year,” Roger Partridge, chair of the Douglas County commissioners chair and E-470 board member, said in the release.

In addition to freezing ExpressToll rates in 2020, the E-470 Board of Directors also voted to freeze License Plate Toll rates in 2020 at 2019 levels.

Additionally, the board voted to move forward with the implementation of a two-year pilot program, to begin Jan. 1, 2020, for an ExpressToll rate restructure for three-plus-axle motorists on E-470. The rate restructure includes a 5% rate reduction for all multi-axle rates and an additional time of day rate reduction for 3-plus-axle ExpressToll customers.

The 2020 toll rate freeze and threeplus-axle rate adjustment reflect the commitment of E-470 to remain fiscally responsible while supporting and improving the customer experience.

“The E-470 board of directors and leadership continue to be proactive in monitoring local market conditions that allow the authority to implement policies that represent value and savings to E-470 customers,” E-470 Executive Director Tim Stewart said in the release.
