can often be helped with supportive footwear. I work by appointment (which are complimentary) — come in, sit down, and explore the products that can help you lead a more comfortable and active lifestyle.

Just because the products provide comfort doesn’t mean they have to be ugly. There are comfort casual shoes, sandals, athletic footwear, plus several over-the-counter arch supports and also custom arch supports.

Foot Health with Fashion is located at One Oakwood Park, Suite 201 (about one-fourth mile east of downtown Castle Rock on Fifth Street). Call 720531-3533 to schedule your complimentary appointment.

Castle Rock woman runs footwear business, bikes often About me My husband, Kent, and I met and were married in Denver. That was many years ago; and since then, his profession has taken us to Texas, California, Massachusetts, Ohio and New Mexico. All wonderful places. I worked full-time in marketing prior to having children. I was a stay-at-home mom while the kids were at home, and for the last 14 years in Albuquerque, owned the Foot Solutions franchise.

We moved to Castle Rock in July to be closer to family.

Getting into comfort footwear Having a business was something I had thought about but hadn’t pursued while the kids were at home. When we were moving from Cincinnati to Albuquerque, our youngest was in college and the time was right to do some research. I worked with a company that helped me identify a business that was a good fit for my skill set and found Foot Solutions — and when I heard it was a business built on customer service, I knew it was the right business for me. What I didn’t know was the joy

My favorite activity When I’m not at the office, you’ll find me on my bicycle. My love of riding started when I signed up for a century (100 miles in one day) in Death Valley to raise funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Outdoor fitness space opens at Elk Ridge Park in Castle Pines Circuit training system designed for adults of all ages, abilities

AuroraSouth Metro SBDC

My advice Keep moving. If you stop — you might not be able to start again.

Castle Pines residents of all ages and abilities will be able to take their fitness outdoors at a new fitness space at Elk Ridge Park.

The new fitness space will open at 2 p.m. Oct. 26, and the event will include a ribbon cutting, fitness court orientation and local ambassador-led mini workouts.

The park will include a circuit training system that can be used by groups or individually, with workout plans, routine instructions and classes through a mobile app for iOS and Android — all for free.

“This is an exciting step in the continuing evolution of our community,” Mayor Tera Radloff said in a news release. “On behalf of the city council, I would like to thank the Douglas County commissioners for 20 years of parks and recreation support in our community. I’d also like to thank Councilmember Deborah Mulvey, (Castle Pines North Metro

District) Director Denise Crew and the parks authority board of directors, including David Necker, Joan Millspaugh, Tom Weldon and Randy Burkhardt for their thoughtful and collaborative approach to the asset transfer and termination of the parks authority. Without their involvement and dedication, we wouldn’t be starting this endeavor on such a positive trajectory.”

The installation is part of the city’s efforts to add recreation opportunities to its residents with funds from its parks and recreation services, formerly known as the Castle Pines Parks Authority.

Earlier this year, city council voted unanimously to transfer the parks and recreation services from Castle Pines Parks Authority to the city. Before the shift in responsibilities and funds, parks authority transferred $125,000, raising the total funds to nearly $720,000.

“This was a collaborative effort by the parks authority board,” Mulvey said in the release. “The city council, metropolitan district and master HOA worked together to select the best option that serves the community and ensures these funds are stewarded in the best way for our residents, without delay.”

Douglas County braces for property tax spike Assessor urges property owners to engage in process

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Douglas County residents open their property tax bills in January, they might be shocked at the figure on the paper.

At least that’s what Assessor Lisa Frizell is worried about.

“It’s going to be a problem,” she said.

Now, about two months out, she’s trying to ready residents by encouraging them to check on their property values using an online portal and if necessary, challenge their home’s valuation. While the appeal period ended June 1, residents can rebut their tax bills by filing an abatement beginning January 1.

“They need to be prepared for the tax bill in January because they could be surprised,” she said.

On average, single-family home values saw an increase of nearly 15% and attached homes, such as condos and town homes, rose by 16%. But home values aren’t the only part of the equation.

Understanding the reason for the stark jump in property taxes requires a breakdown of how the fees are determined.

“I want them to understand what

goes into the calculation,” Frizell said.

“It’s not just property value.”

There are three elements that go into the formula that determines a home’s property taxes: the house’s value, the assessment rate, and the mill levies that will be set in mid-December by various taxing authorities where the home is located. All told, there are about 300 different taxing authorities in Douglas County, such as the school district, South Metro Fire Rescue and various metro districts.

A home’s valuation, which is reassessed by the county every two years, is based solely on past sales of comparable houses, she said. The valuations in Douglas County this year are based on about 20,000 home sales during a 24-month period, which began in July 2016 and ended at the end of June 2018.

Since 2012, home values have generally been steadily increasing. So, what makes this year’s taxes the source of shock? The answer is: the other parts of the equation.

Once determined, a home’s valuation is multiplied by the assessment rate, which is set by the state, to get the assessed value. The final step is to multiply the assessed value by the mill levies on the home.

From 2003 to 2016, the state’s assessment rate remained at 7.96%, and in 2017, it was reduced to 7.2%. That same year, the Colorado Legislative Council staff predicted that in 2019, the rate would fall by 15% to a rate of

6.11%. Instead, it went down less than 1% to 7.15%.

There are several reasons that this rate didn’t drop as much as predicted, including the contrast between growing values in the metro area and the more stagnant growth in rest of the state, Frizell said. The Gallagher Amendment, which requires commercial properties to fund 55% of the state’s property taxes and residential to pay about 45%, also had an effect.

Under the Gallagher Amendment, in order for the rate to fall to what was predicted, home values must rise faster than commercial property values.

But as business, industrial properties and oil and gas values throughout the state see large increases, the mandated 45/55 ratio applies upward pressure on the state’s residential assessment rate.

What can you control?

While most of the tax equation is finalized, there are a few steps that can be taken to put the costs back into the control of the taxpayers.

First, homeowners can use the Douglas County property assessment site to check their home’s valuation at Douglas.co.us/assessor. There, they can see the home’s tentative property taxes for the year, its history of values and taxes and the various tax authorities over the property.

These tentative taxes are based on mill levies from last year, which may not be the same this year.

The site also allows homeowners to compare their home’s valuation to those in the same area with similar square footage, style, age and quality.

Those who believe their home’s value or taxes are incorrect can refute them through filing an abatement beginning Jan. 1. The process, which can result in a refund, does not change the due date of taxes owed and can take up to six months. More information on abatements is available on the Douglas County website by searching “abatement process.”

Second, homeowners can engage with their taxing entities, which set the mill levies, about the rates they select. While most of the elements of property tax have been determined, mill levies will not be reported to the board of county commissioners until Dec. 15.

A pie chart of each home’s mill levies is also available on the property assessment site along with contact information for the taxing entities.

If tax authorities keep their rates the same this year, they will actually be taking in more revenue than in years past because of the increase in home values. They’re not required to reduce their rate to bring in the same amount as last year, Frizell said.

“I strongly urge all property owners to be part of the budget hearing process for these tax authorities that provide services to their property owners,” Frizell said. “So they can have a voice.”

CDOT lays out vision for I-25 through county Castle Rock gives support, with conditions, for plans, goals

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A whopping study from the Colorado Department of Transportation that began more than two years ago is expected to wrap up this month, and it’s got big proposals for Castle Rock and surrounding areas.

Think a version of Denver’s Union Station in Castle Rock, expanded Bustang bus service, rail transit along Interstate 25 and a bolstered highway system flowing people from the Denver metro area through Castle Rock and down to Colorado Springs.

The Planning and Environmental Linkages study, or PEL, began in January 2017 but was temporarily shelved so CDOT could expedite its work on what’s called the Gap, a notorious 18-mile stretch of I-25 between Castle Rock and Monument known for delays and crashes.

Early work in the study, officially called the I-25 PEL: Colorado Springs Denver South Connection, spurred CDOT’s work on the Gap that’s now underway, said I-25 South Corridor Manager Chuck Attardo with CDOT. Among several changes, CDOT is

The Colorado Department of Transportation is widening what’s called the Gap, a stretch of Interstate 25 between Castle Rock and Monument, after a study found the area in urgent need of improvements.

Work resumed on the PEL around July and examined highway improvements for an area about twice the size of the Gap work zone. The Federal Highway Administration also assisted in the study.

“For all intents and purposes, we

should be done by Halloween,” Attardo said of the PEL. It’s important to note a PEL study produces a strategic plan for transportation in a given area. The study does not identify funding for its suggestions, although it estimates costs.

Numerous other steps, like undergoing a National Environmental Policy

Act (NEPA) process, would need to come before projects could get official approvals.

Still, the PEL gives a broad overview of how CDOT thinks transportation should be improved between Monument and Denver, with Castle Rock in the heart of it all.

The full document is hefty — about 5,000 pages with all the appendixes accounted for. People can review the study from start to finish once it’s posted to CDOT’s website. An executive summary was made available at the Oct. 15 Castle Rock town council meeting and on crgov.com and whittles the key points into a 15-page document.

The PEL has three major recommendations: making improvements to the highway between Monument and Lone Tree, bringing more transit to the corridor and working on what’s called “supplemental elements,” or small fixes to the interstate that can be made before longterm projects finish.

An example of supplemental elements would be adding a truck climbing lane from Greenland to Monument, where trucks gain 800 feet in elevation. CDOT has already secured funding for that project.

Some recommendations could come to fruition in the near future while others might take upward of two decades to start.

• Financial requirements ensure you can afford to pay property taxes and homeowners insurance.

(Social security income is usually sufficient.)

• Mandatory third-party counseling for the borrower ensures that you understand the reverse mortgage.

• A spouse (of any age) can stay in the home as long as he/she wants (without making mortgage payments), even if the borrowing spouse passes.

It’s understandable that people were concerned with reverse mortgages before these important changes were put into place. A reverse mortgage is not a trick at all.

It is a wonderful treat, meant only for seniors!

by Kathy Muni Some people are convinced that a reverse mortgage is a trick—at first. And there are some historical reasons for that belief.

Reverse mortgages have been around since the 1980s. Years ago, some questionable lenders failed to disclose that you are required to pay homeowners insurance and property taxes (which are paid through an escrow account with a traditional forward mortgage). This led to sensational headlines blaming reverse mortgages for foreclosures.

A foreclosure is certainly a scary outcome! All homeowners—not just seniors—who do not pay property taxes are at risk of a tax-lien foreclosure.

Over the years, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has improved the program significantly to protect seniors:

Getting pumped up for Showdown

BY MADELINE ROBINSON SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-PRESS

Many of the students at Castle View High School might not get excited about pep rallies, but they do get excited for Showdown. Showdown is the ultimate piece of Castle View culture — the event that outshines homecoming and rallies the student body around the unique spirit of Sabercat Nation.

“Obviously, everyone has assemblies, but Showdown is such a precious tradition,” sophomore Camryn Kelly said. “It’s something that people look forward to every year. Out of all the assemblies throughout the year, I think Showdown is the least ditched.”

According to many students, the 2 1/2-hour event — and the energy that defines it — has no comparison.

“It’s the adrenaline coursing through you, it’s the mix of both anxiety and excitement and the kind of nervous energy you feel walking in,” sophomore Katelyn Freeman said of the Oct. 10 event. “It’s never bad. It’s field day, it’s a pep rally on steroids, it’s every fundraiser event you’ve ever done at any school, any big assembly you did in middle school, all packed into one and then so much more added to it.”

Showdown starts with the band marching down the halls with each homeroom adding students, adrenaline and hype to the parade that eventually leads to the gym.

“Waiting for the marching band to come through, that’s when we all got really excited about it and then marching down the halls was interesting and then when we got into the gym, and it started. Everything got really loud all at once and the excitement level got so high so fast and it was really cool,” Kelly said.

Through a diverse selection of floor competitions, everyone in the student body has a chance to participate and compete.

“Showdown is a big battle between all the classes and we all come together,” senior Annabelle Kiyan said. “It’s like a mini-Olympics for our school... everybody just kind of comes together to support their grade.”

Despite the competitive nature of Showdown, there’s one expectation that almost every student at Castle View follows: Showdown is about family and support first, not winning or losing.

“After the sophomores and seniors won, especially since the juniors were A group of junior boys use signs as a visual to guide the freshmen through the fight song’s chorus.

because we’re still like a school. Even though we were separated for Showdown, we’re still a school,” Kelly said.

School board candidates meet at student-organized forum Candidates discuss school funding, security and most pressing issues in district

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The six Douglas County School Board candidates talked fiscal plans, school security and what they believe are the most pressing issues facing the school district at a recent forum.

The event was planned and moderated by students from Highlands Ranch High School and Ponderosa High School. Ponderosa’s speech and debate team joined forces with Highland Ranch High’s AP government class to organize the Oct. 21 forum.

All candidates were in attendance.

Running in District A are candidates Andy Jones and Susan Meek. In District C are Elizabeth Hanson and Franceen Thompson. And in District F, Kory Nelson is challenging incumbent David Ray. Candidates dug into school funding at the forum when asked to outline their fiscal plan for the next several years.

Jones said the community can only be persuaded to increase taxes if it trusts local leadership. He believes in keeping tax dollars in the community, he said.

“I’m a firm believer in local con-

trol,” he said.

Meek said Colorado is in a school funding crisis and is one of the lowestfunded states for schools. Since the Great Recession, Douglas County has lost nearly $600 million in state funding, she said.

“That impacts what we can pay teachers. That impacts hiring bus drivers and paying for buses,” she said. “If the state were fully funding Douglas County School District through the School Finance Act, this year alone Douglas County schools would have $41 million more.”

Thompson also stated the district was underfunded by $41 million. She encouraged finding a district lobbyist to advocate at the Capitol rather than leaning on the Colorado Association of School Boards.

Hanson urged voters to listen closely and be wary of candidates who made promises they couldn’t keep. The board needs to capitalize on the economies of scale in a district its size, she said.

“I think it’s really important to understand that our budget is a fixed number. As a board we have a respon-

Thompson

sibility to make sure that fixed number, those dollars are being used as efficiently as possible,” Hanson said.

Nelson criticized his opponent Ray, the school board president, for the school district’s response to a $3 million offer from Douglas County commissioners earlier this year to help fund school resource officers.

Commissioners required the funds to be matched. Initially, district board directors and administrators said the match couldn’t be found within the district budget but later added more school resource officers in local schools.

Nelson said he would have found the $3 million match as a director. He also urged the district to join a mass tort litigation against the vaping company JUUL to try to recover any taxpayer dollars now being spent on addressing teen addiction.

Ray said the passage of a bond and mill levy override in November showed there is local trust in district leaders. He also said the district has prepared for a recession “because we know that that potentially is looming

in our world right now.”

The board sets budget priorities but also relies on the expertise of its staff in budgeting, he said.

Candidates also discussed the issues they felt were most pressing in the district, to which answers varied.

Nelson said school safety is the most pressing, but the health of students is also critical.

Ray said anxiety and stress among students needs to be better addressed, scrutinizing the media for “just doing a horrific thing to our students” by making students wonder if they will need to serve as first responders when at school.

Jones said the No. 1 issue for all parents is safety, but he also said students need more mental health resources and urged improving resilience among youths to deal with “modern day pressures.”

Meek also said mental health is the most pressing issue for her, noting that Colorado has the highest suicide rate for adolescents in the nation.

Thompson, whose daughter was a senior a STEM School Highlands Ranch during the fatal May shooting at the school, said the community needs to have tough discussions about security and leave all options on the table.

Hanson said safety and mental health were key issues in the district but also globally. She urged people to embrace each other’s differences and strive for more than tolerance.

Castle Rock dancers hear from Disney World pro Students are urged to look at career path in open-minded way

When it comes to the dance industry, there’s pressure to be a certain kind of “successful,” said students at Danza Dance Academy in Castle Rock.

Success is often defined as landing a career that puts dancers on television or the big stage. That could be working as a music artist’s backup dancer, in Broadway productions or in a professional ballet company.

“It’s always been that way,” said 17-year-old Brandi Walker.

That’s why Danza students were grateful to hear from professional dancer Tyler Muhlenkamp in a workshop held at the studio on Oct. 5, according to four dancers who attended.

Muhlenkamp is a professional dancer for Walt Disney World in Florida.

He leads the Magic Kingdom’s castle show, planning and performing in five shows a day, five days a week.

He travels each weekend to hold dance workshops at studios across the country. That typically entails working a full day on Friday, hopping on the last flight that evening, and returning to Orlando on a red-eye flight

Muhlenkamp has previously worked for A&E television shows, a Salt Lake City dance company and on Norwegian and Disney cruise lines, which led him to Disney World.

He spoke to Danza dancers about getting into the industry, potential career paths and the importance of self-worth in a critical industry.

“The main thing I try to convey is that there are so many different opportunities out there and as long as they are able to open up their minds and be willing to try different atmospheres of this industry, they’ll find that their

measure of success could possibly change,” Muhlenkamp said.

Walker, of Castle Rock, said she appreciated having a professional in the studio. She along with Gabrielle Kolb, 15; Ellery McQueen, 16; and Sasha Amiscaray, 17, are members of Danza’s senior company, meaning they help mentor and lead the studio.

Dance is a stress reliever, they said.

A safe space where they can be themselves, find a creative outlet and push themselves mentally, emotionally and physically.

Still, it’s an environment where people are constantly critiqued in

an effort to improve, and as Walker pointed out, dancers literally watch their every move in a mirror as they practice.

The girls said Muhlenkamp told them to believe, “You are enough,” which was a comforting reminder.

He stressed that being a technically strong dancer is important but so is allowing one’s personality to show through.

He also gave career advice. Muhlenkamp wants young dancers to be openminded toward career paths in dance and not close themselves off to job openings in pursuit of that stereotypical ideal of success, he said.

“He said if you turn down a job you could turn down an opportunity that was exactly what you needed,” Kolb said.

The girls all said they’re focused on pursuing higher education after high school, but they’ll keep dance in their lives.

Denise Danzo, owner of Danza Dance Academy, said she brings in professional dancers to hold workshops a few times each year when she sees a good learning opportunity for students. She was glad Muhlenkamp could give a firsthand account of professional dancing.

“Showing them what they can grow up and actually do and be,” she said.

“A look at the real world, how what they’re doing could actually apply to a career.”

The ballots are out ... now what?

Officials urge voters to not wait until the last minute

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With the majority of Colorado voters having received their ballots in the mail by now, Douglas County officials are hoping to spread one primary message: Vote early.

That’s because last year, more than 60,000 votes, or 40% of all ballots cast, were received either the day of or the day before the election.

With more than 180,000 total ballots received and a processing capacity of about 25,000 ballots per day, the count took nine days. This year, Merlin Klotz, the county’s clerk and recorder and the designated elections official, wants to prevent this from happening again.

“It (voting early) gets our results in earlier,” Klotz said.

About 80% of Douglas County voters prefer to vote through a ballot drop box, Klotz said. That’s why the county decided to increase the number of boxes this year from nine to 17. Maps of the drop boxes and the four in-person polling locations and other voter resources are available at DouglasVotes.com.

Since Colorado changed to a mail-in, paper ballot system in 2014, the speed of the process has changed.

“They still expect 100% election results election night,” Klotz said.

While the counting can be slow, the three preliminary reports given by the county throughout the evening of election day are usually representative of the final result, Klotz said.

“Because it’s randomized, the outcomes aren’t going to change much,” he said.

After ballot is dropped off Once the ballot is signed by the voter and dropped in a box, the easy part is finished and the complex, multi-step process of counting the ballots begins.

First, the ballots are brought into the election headquarters in Castle Rock from the various drop boxes and weighed to determine a count. Then, the envelopes are taken downstairs and run through a sorting machine, which takes photos of each ballot’s signature.

Then the machine places the envelopes in different piles — such as acceptable, too thin, too thick or missing a signature. For those that are accepted, the signatures go through a program that seeks to match them with existing ones from that voter.

At this time, the machine gathers a list of voters whose ballots have been cast and marks them as received

through the secretary of state’s office.

This prevents people from voting twice.

If a signature match is found, the sealed envelope is sent to the next stage. If not, it’s sent back upstairs to be reviewed and manually matched by one of about 300 trained temporary workers who help throughout the process.

One in every 50 ballots is audited by a worker, Klotz said. If a matching signature is not found or the voter forgot to sign, notifications are sent to the voter beginning eight days after the election that they need to “cure their ballot.”

Last year, about 400 ballots needed to be cured, Klotz said. The majority were never corrected or counted because the voters failed to complete the cure.

Slash-mulch site closing for the season Oct. 26

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In September, Douglas County commissioners approved a ballot question asking voters to extend part of a sales tax and reallocate it from the justice center to transportation.

The county’s 1% sales tax is currently split among open space, transportation and the justice center. The Justice Center Sales Tax is 0.43%, transportation is 0.40% and open space is 0.17%.

If approved, the ballot item would move 0.18% from the Justice Center Sales Tax to road projects and halt 0.13% of the tax from expiring in December 2020.

The tax reallocation would provide additional funding of about $12.5 million per year for road improvements.

The ballot question comes after two years of controversy around the subject. The sheriff ’s office was strongly against the plan to remove funding from the justice center when Commissioner Lora Thomas originally proposed to reallocate 0.23% to transportation in 2017. At that time, the sheriff ’s office said it needed the funding for planned projects.

After the question requesting the 0.18% change passed Sept. 3, Undersheriff Holly Nicholson-Kluth told Colorado Community Media that the sheriff ’s office would remain neutral and stay out of the subject.

“It’s the commissioners’ responsibility to budget appropriately,” Nicholson-Kluth said about the vote. “This was a decision they made.”

A list of transportation projects for the next 20 years, which would be fasttracked if the ballot measure passes, is available on the county website at douglas.co.us by clicking “About Us” then “Breaking News” and looking for “County Commissioners advance Transportation Funding Question to November 2019 ballot.”

BALLOTS FROM PAGE 9

Counting the votes After the ballots are opened, they go through a counting machine. If there is an issue with the paper that prevents it from being read by the machine, such as when someone appears to have changed their choice and crossed out an original selection, trained workers also review these to make determinations.

Watchers from the various campaigns can oversee these decisions along with the signature matching and make complaints if they deem it necessary.

Nearly every step of the way,

there is key card security to enter each room and overhead cameras recording to ensure the integrity of the process. There is also always a mix of Democrats and Republicans handling the ballots, transporting them and making signature or vote decisions.

On election day, Klotz, who oversees the whole process, finds himself feeling somewhat like an orchestra leader, he said.

“Things are so well-planned that I’m not worrying what the first violin is doing and I’m just keeping an eye on it,” he said.

There are two main things voters can do to help this orchestra play as smoothly as possible, he said.

“Get your ballot in early,” he said.

“Remember to sign it.”

Yes or no on CC: Arguments for and against Ballot question asks whether state can keep tax money that goes above TABOR limits

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The most controversial choice on voters’ ballots this November may not be over a politician — it could be over Proposition CC. That’s a measure that asks Colorado voters to allow the state government to keep tax revenue that it currently must give back to taxpayers on an annual basis.

Proponents say it’s a small start to catching Colorado’s budget up from dire shortfalls in funding for education and roads and bridges. But opponents say taxpayers can’t be sure the money will be spent the way it’s promised.

Here’s a breakdown of what Prop CC does, the arguments for and against it, and how it relates to TABOR, one of Colorado’s most beloved — and infamous — laws.

What is TABOR? Colorado voters in 1992 passed the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, or TABOR, which limits the amount of money that the state government can collect and spend, or save, each year.

The limit is adjusted each year based on inflation, population growth, and voter-approved changes to the limit, according to the 2019 state ballot information booklet, or “blue book.” TABOR is an amendment to the Colorado Constitution.

Currently, about one-third of the money Colorado collects is subject to the limit, including most taxes and some fees. The other two-thirds of state funds includes money from voter-approved tax increases, government-owned businesses and the federal government.

Under TABOR, money collected above the limit must be refunded to taxpayers. Part of the money returns to people in property tax benefits from local governments, and part of it comes back through state income tax returns.

How much is at stake?

Proposition CC would eliminate future TABOR refunds and instead use that money for K-12 education, higher education and transportation projects.

Just how much money the refunds are worth is unclear. The Legislative Council Staff — the state Legislature’s nonpartisan research arm — estimates TABOR refunds would total $542 million from fiscal year 2019 to 2022. The Governor’s Office of State Planning and Budgeting put the figure at $1.7 billion for the same time

period. Earlier this year, the Legislative Council estimated a $652 million refund from fiscal year 2019 to 2021 alone.

What this means for individual taxpayers is that, depending on their yearly income, a TABOR refund in one year could be as low as $20 or as high as $79. Joint filers would get twice as much.

If the governor’s office’s higher projections hold, on average, individuals’ one-year refunds could be about $125, and joint filers could get $323, for 2022-23.

Where would it all go?

If Proposition CC passes and TABOR refunds cease, the money would be split into equal thirds for public schools, higher education and transportation projects.

Public schools would receive money on a per-pupil basis — depending on how many students they have — and only for non-recurring expenses, meaning the money can’t go to teacher salaries. It could go to initiatives to improve teacher training, books and technology for students, and other assistance to teachers.

Transportation money would be split 60% to the State Highway Fund, 22% to counties and 18% to municipalities.

Of the State Highway Fund share, no more than 85% could be spent for highway-related projects, and at least 15% would go to transit-related projects.

Higher education spending appears not to be limited to specific criteria, based on the text of state House Bill 19-1258, the technical language related to Proposition CC that goes into effect if it succeeds.

For or against Prop CC supporters say that despite Colorado’s high ranking for median household income, it ranks in the bottom third of states in per-student public spending on K-12 education and lags behind in higher education, too. Colorado road quality continues to drop while the costs of improvements increase, they say.

Opponents say there’s nothing stopping the Legislature from changing Prop CC’s one-third-split formula or replacing current funds with the new Prop CC funds and moving the current money to other matters. Supporters argue that because Prop CC requires an annual audit of how the money is spent, voters can scrutinize where it ends up, but opponents are skeptical.

Detractors, such as the No on CC Coalition, also emphasize the proposition can’t benefit teacher salaries.

Supporters, such as the CC Yes! campaign, say the money could go to help teachers pay student loans, toward bonuses and to incentives to work in rural districts.

CDOT FROM PAGE 5

The nitty gritty When it comes to improving the highway, the initial proposal is more express lanes. CDOT recommends extending the express lanes being built on the Gap just south of Castle Rock all the way to Lone Tree, specifically to the interchange for C-470 and E-470.

CDOT doesn’t know when the proposed express lanes might happen and expects it would cost between $900 million and $1.2 billion to do.

“We’re searching for that money.

We may not get that for the next three months, a year, 10 years, who knows,” Attardo said.

A later phase of highway improvements recommends adding another travel lane the entire length of the corridor, from Monument to Lone Tree.

CDOT hasn’t designated how that lane would be operated, whether it could be a general-purpose lane, express lane or neither. By that time, there may be autonomous vehicles on the road, Attardo said, and the lane could be needed to support them.

The PEL recommends improving transit by expanding Bustang bus services and bringing rail to the area.

“We still hear from folks up and down the corridor, we need better bus and rail service,” Attardo said.

It’s unclear from the PEL what type of rail might come to the area, whether that be high-speed or commuter rail, if recommendations to pursue that mode of transit progress.

In the study, CDOT didn’t “dig into the rails as much as we really wanted to,” Attardo said. He pointed to a forthcoming service plan and environmental study from the Front Range Passenger Range Commission, which may determine how to bring rail services along I-25 in the corridor.

The commission coordinates local governments in maintaining and expanding rail services and facilitates development of a Front Range Passenger Rail system.

cilmember George Teal, who sat on the PEL steering committee when it launched. “In Castle Rock, we are trying to mitigate that mostly by trying to attract primary employers to the town.”

Scrutiny and debate The study gathered feedback from local leaders, residents, business leaders and other members of the public. Some of that feedback included concerns with the proposals, which the executive summary highlights briefly.

Should CDOT invest in transit instead of building more highway lanes? Why more express lanes?

As CDOT worked on planning the Gap improvements, express lanes were met with fierce opposition at open houses, from members of the public and from elected leaders, like El Paso County commissioners who advocated for adding a generalpurpose lane.

CDOT maintains in the study, as it did during the Gap process and echoed again by Attardo, that express lanes provide a reliable trip.

The executive summary also states express lanes support other types of transit, like the Bustang bus service. Attardo also argued they help CDOT meet air quality standards.

“How the heck do you solve the transportation problems without express lanes,” he said. “There’s just no other way we can do it right now.”

CDOT sought a letter of support from the Town of Castle Rock for the PEL study at the Oct. 15 council meeting, as it’s also done with neighboring stakeholders.

Council approved the letter with one contingency — that CDOT end the toll lanes at Plum Creek Parkway on the south edge of town, and not extend them to Lone Tree.

Mayor Pro Tem Jason Bower and Councilmember James Townsend were absent. Teal urged the condition. He doesn’t agree with allowing people “who can pay for it” to buy the convenience of an express lane while leaving others to rely on general purpose lanes.

“I understand where the state is coming from,” Teal said, adding, “I think it kind of hinders this concept we’ve had around the interstate highway systems, of having an open road, having a freeway.”

School consultant offers guidance for Spanish speakers Grant goes toward promoting family engagement, outreach

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Consultant Patsy Roybal recently worked with the Douglas County School District to provide families who are not proficient in English with resources and knowledge about their children’s education in Douglas County.

Her work was paid for with part of a $130,000 grant the district received after winning the English Language Proficiency Act Excellence Award from the Colorado Department of Education last year.

Roybal retired Roybal from Denver Public Schools, where she was the director of training and leadership development for the Office of Family and Community Engagement. She went on to serve as a Colorado director for the California-based Parent Teacher Home Visits Project.

She spoke to Colorado Community Media about her experience working in Douglas County.

How did you get involved with working in the Douglas County School District?

I received a call from Becky Corr, who is a team lead for the English Language Development Program.

She wanted to know if I would be willing to provide some workshops, parent leadership workshops, to some of her families who spoke Spanish. Becky seemed so sincere in her desire to authentically engage with families who speak a language other than English. We came up with this idea of doing a five-week parent leadership training. We started the conversation around July and August and had our first training in September.

What does your consulting work in the district entail?

My primary responsibility with Douglas County was really to provide these five sessions of parent leadership development and then go back and provide a training session for families so they can then take the information they learn and share it with other families in their school communities.

What did families learn at the sessions?

The first session really had to do with parent engagement — the key to student success. Parents learned about what research is telling us around how important family engagement is. Things like supporting and encouraging and motivating

their kids to excel. Having conversations with them about their hopes and aspirations, future careers and college. Monitoring their children’s academic progress their attendance their behavior. Really getting to know their kids, areas where they are having a lot of success but also areas where they are struggling.

And just being that advocate for their child to be sure that are getting the best education possible.

Then we went on to help them understand the school system, because a lot of these families attended school maybe in Mexico, we had one parent from Cuba, where the educational system is different. Expectations for family engagement might be different. So, they come into our educational system and they really aren’t sure what the expectations for family engagement are.

I helped them understand how our system works. What is the role of the superintendent? What are the roles and responsibilities of board members? Who is their board member that they can go to? What are the roles and responsibilities of staff members within schools? Who do you go to if you have a problem with your student — and especially, who do you go to if you don’t speak English?

After that we then went into understanding data. We also then made sure that they understood what CMAS was and that they understood what the Colorado Academic Standards are.

Why do you think this training is important to provide for families?

The reason it’s so important is because we have over 30 years of research that is clearly telling us that when families are engaged in their children’s education, their

Must be 21. Management reserves all rights.

What’s next for the training sessions?

Ideally, they want to expand this to families who speak other languages. They want to have more of a multilingual lens. But they wanted to start with the Spanish speakers to see what the results would be and then continue to expand it.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

My experience has been that with immigrant families or refugee families, they come with a spirit of hope. They want so desperately to make sure that their kids get a good education, that they graduate, prepare to attend to whatever college they choose, and to pursue whatever professional career that they want. That spirit of hope is quite impressive. With the group that I was working with in Douglas County, it went beyond that. There was this strong desire from families to reach out to other families in their community.

children get higher grades, they do better on state assessments, they attend school more regularly, they graduate from high school at higher rates and are more likely to enroll in higher education.

Regardless of the economic, ethnic or culture background of the family, parent engagement is a major factor in ensuring a student’s success. So, it’s really important that we reach out to all families. If you engage all families, especially families that speak a language other than English, the school district is going to be more successful in closing in achievement gaps that exist.

And I think it’s just a healthier community when all families come together with a common interest of improving student achievement.

A 2.5-mile segment of the East/ West Regional Trail was recently completed, running from a trailhead near RidgeGate Parkway and I-25 at Schweiger Ranch to the Cabela’s Drive connector trail west of I-25.

Completion of this project relied on the collaboration of local and state partners, including the Colorado Department of Transportation, the City of Lone Tree, Rampart Range Metro District, RidgeGate Investments, Schweiger Ranch Foundation and Great Outdoors Colorado.

“The days of a single agency having the means to complete an undertaking of this magnitude are long gone,” Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas said in a news release. “This project is just one notable example of creative solutions that can be achieved through strong community partnerships on behalf of those we serve.”

This is the first phase of an 8-mile segment of the trail made possible by a $2 million grant from GOCO to Douglas County and the Town of Parker to connect Lone Tree to the Cherry Creek Trail in Parker. Construction of the final portion of the trail is in design with construction slated for 2020.

When complete, the East/West Regional Trail will extend 28 miles from Chatfield State Park to Parker, connecting Douglas County with major trail systems statewide, including the Colorado Trail and Cherry Creek Trail.

A switch in time ain’t kind

D

on’t forget to fall back. I would rather not fall back or spring forward, and every year others express the same thing at the time, QUIET and then we forget about it until it DESPERATION comes around again.

It’s not as much of a nuisance as it once was, because many of our clocks do it on their own, even inexpensive ones, like my clock radio.

It’s all an entomologist’s fault. I’ll get to Craig Marshall him.

Wikipedia says, Smith

“(Daylight saving time) clock shifts sometimes complicate timekeeping and can disrupt travel, billing, record keeping, medical devices, heavy equipment, and sleep patterns.”

Clocks are everywhere, and it’s why I don’t own a watch. A watch is one way to let others know what kind of watch you have.

Like that football player who wears a $191,000 watch. While he is playing. It’s another professional athlete absurdity.

I am never late.

Someone said, “If you’re early, you’re on time. If you’re on time, you’re late.”

However, Evelyn Waugh said, “Punctuality is the virtue of the bored.”

I think punctuality is very erotic, is what I think.

I have never been on an airplane at 2 a.m. when we are supposed to fall back or spring forward, but I have often wondered what happens.

I think if you are flying from the East Coast to the West Coast, you arrive before you left. Do your whiskers know that? Of course not, they keep growing as if it’s business as usual.

There’s one clock I never change. It’s the one in my car.

Jennifer says, “Your clock isn’t right.”

“It will be.”

Arizona and Hawaii don’t observe Daylight Savings Time, although Arizona Navajo observe it on tribal lands.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Ray a real leader We’ve had kids in Douglas County public schools for the last 14 years. We were part of the district’s rise to greatness, and also witnessed its decline.

Under the leadership of David Ray and his team, our school district is returning to greatness. We have more than 90 schools and about 70,000 kids in our district. Yet when our elementary school started a National Junior Honor Society two years ago, David Ray showed up at 7:15 in the morning to show his support.

This is the kind of leader that we want in our school district! Vote for David Ray and anyone else (Meek, Hanson) that he supports.

Mike Giles Parker We need open minds In the Oct. 10 edition of the paper, the article on the six Douglas County School Board candidates was quite revealing. On the topic of potentially arming teachers and/or staff who are willing and properly trained, the difference between the candidates is eye opening. The candidates who refer to themselves as “a team” (Meek, Hanson, and Ray) are not even open to any discussion, or consideration of the issue. The three other candidates (Jones, Thompson, and Nelson) are open to considering all security options by listening to staff, experts, the community and law enforcement.

My experience with committees, boards, study groups, etc., is they are most effective when the members are open minded, and consider input from various sources before making any decision or putting forth any recom-

mendation. It doesn’t sound to me like “the team” has any interest in doing this. “Teams” don’t make good boards; open-minded people do. I know where my vote will be going.

Jim Kullas Lone Tree Vote for Hanson, Meek, Ray Starting my fifth year of teaching, I find myself hopeful for the future because the district I have known and loved is moving in the right direction.

I grew up in Douglas County School District, attending Pioneer Elementary, Sagewood Middle School, and Ponderosa High School, and then I returned in 2015 to teach at my alma mater. We are getting back to our roots of prioritizing students and educators. We are focusing on the teaching and learning of students and working toward preparing them for a variety of careers and occupations.

As we come to another school board election this November, I hope my community will vote for Hanson, Meek and Ray. Meek and Ray have the educational expertise and experience to guide the Douglas County School District to be a school district that is well known for its curriculum and instruction again. Hanson has the skillset in human resources to continue recruiting and retaining great teachers. Each person brings a facet of leadership and knowledge that will continue bettering our district.

I am proud to work in Douglas County School District. When I was a student, Douglas County was regarded as one of the best school districts in the United States.

If you were dancing back and forth across time zones in a Navajo dance hall that straddled tribal land and the rest of Arizona, wouldn’t it ruin your moves? It would ruin mine.

If you leave tribal lands at 7 a.m. for a flight that leaves Sky Harbor Airport at 9 a.m., how many Advil would you need?

That entomologist I mentioned was a man named George Vernon Hudson, who moved from England to New Zealand to study insects. He wanted an extra hour of sunlight in the summer to analyze gnats, and it’s because of him I have to get on a ladder twice a year.

Amazing success comes from within and without

ears from now someone will be sharing their life stories with the world and recognizing the people who influenced them the most and contributed to their successes.

People will stand on stage, at a lectern, write a column or blog, and give credit where credit is due.

They will refer to things like the people who served as role models for them when they were younger, or who WINNING offered sage wisdom or timely WORDS advice. Some will acknowledge coaches and mentors, parents and siblings, teachers and professors, managers and coworkers and the impact that they all made and the role that each had Michael Norton played along the way.

Humbly, I have received that kind of appreciation and recognition over the years. People have given me credit for providing hope and encouragement or guidance of some kind, and many times I was completely unaware of what I was doing, writing, or saying at the time and any impact that I

might have had upon their lives.

And I say humbly because for many years, learning from own of my own friends and mentors, that the credit goes to the person who applies the wisdom, advice and teachings, and not to me.

I remember time after time watching as someone would approach Zig Ziglar and thank him for his motivation, guidance, and shared wisdom. Appreciating how what he said and how what he wrote changed their lives for the better. The letters and emails would pour into the office, thanking Zig for saving their marriage, helping them quit a bad habit, lose weight, control their diabetes, fight cancer, advance in their career, open their own business, and grow deeper in their faith.

And each time, Zig would thank them and let them know that it really wasn’t him who made the difference. Instead, he would remind them that they were the ones who heard him, or who read his books, and who decided to take responsibility and the actions necessary to achieve personal and professional success.

Zig was such a great ambassador to his profession and a true difference maker in the world.

Roth conversion is worth considering as tax year wanes

T

he most successful investors understand early on to not worry about the things you cannot change and to focus on the things you can. Even though there are only about 10 weeks left in 2019, there may be something you can do to improve your future, reduce taxes and provide a tax-free legacy.

One way to possibly do all three of these is through a Roth conversion.

According to Ed FINANCIAL Slott, CPA, “It’s an optimal time to do STRATEGIES Roth conversions because tax rates are low and tax brackets are wide. You can go up to over $300,000 as a married-joint filer and still stay in the 24 percent bracket.”* Then after you pay the taxes on the amount Patricia Kummer you converted from a traditional or rollover IRA to a Roth, you can enjoy tax-free benefits on the principal and any amount of gain after five years.

Check with your financial or tax adviser and see how much you can fill up your current tax bracket and only convert up to that amount. That way you are controlling how much tax you pay and in what year. While we don’t know what tax brackets will be in the future, we do know that with the 2018 tax law change, the lower brackets were expanded, allowing more income to flow in without jumping into higher tax brackets too quickly.

Roth IRAs can be valuable on several fronts: •You can invest your longest-term, highest-growth investments in an account that will grow tax-free and never pay taxes on the gain.

•You can reduce the amount of your Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) at age 70 1/2 since there are no required distributions for the owner or their spouse on Roth IRAs. • You can provide tax-free income for your spouse who may survive you. This avoids the “widow’s pen-

alty” where the income may remain substantially the same (except for the smaller of the two Social Security checks stopping) but the taxes increase since the widow(er) now must file as a single taxpayer after a time.

• Your beneficiaries can inherit a Roth IRA tax-free. Even though a non-spouse heir is required to take RMDs from a Roth, the distributions will be tax-free. This is a great legacy tool, to leave assets growing tax-free for the next generation.

It is best to create a strategy over your work and retirement years to determine the optimal time to consider a Roth conversion. Usually the first year of retirement, perhaps before any pension or Social Security starts, you may have an unusually low tax year. Don’t let this opportunity pass without considering if a conversion would be beneficial to you.

Retirement plans always look better when there is access to a taxfree investment account. Often in retirement, taxes don’t always drop much if your standard of living is the same, and if you must withdraw your living expenses from a pre-tax IRA or retirement plan. Therefore, there may be a benefit to planning to convert before year-end if this is a low-income year. You also may want to convert when your account positions are low in value. Sometimes this can happen after a stock market adjustment, or after mutual funds pay out fourth quarter distributions. *Investment News interview, May 17, 2019.

OBITUARIES REDMAN

Christian Redman Christian Redman (C Troop, 1986-1989) passed away on October 5, 2019 after a three year fight with cancer.

He served in the Border Legion as a 19D Scout, first in C Troop and then at Border Operations.

Chris was an accomplished Bradley crewman and gunner, and he was known for his natural ability in the field, whether at the Border, maneuvering through the German countryside, or during gunnery training and certifications at Wildflecken and Grafenwoehr. Chris fondly spoke of his days in the Cold Steel, especially as the driver for thenFirst Sergeant (now SGM, Ret.) Roy Sampson.

An avid motorcyclist, Chris enjoyed riding all over the US; he was especially happy when he shared adventures with his Army buddies from the Blackhorse. He also loved to meet friends and spend time in Key West, FL, especially while under the “supervision” of former Cold Steel Troopers such as retired CSM Curtis “CC” Brown and MSG Jim Oldenburg.

After service in the Army, Chris chose a career in Law Enforcement, eventually rising to be Chief of the City of Hurstbourne Acres Police Department in Jefferson County, KY. He then retired to be with his family in Parker, CO for the past 5 years, where he started and ran a construction company until his illness forced him

to stop working.

Christian was very active in the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment’s Blackhorse Association, where he helped build the Gold Vault Chapter, and he was a key contributor to the 2013 Regimental Reunion in Louisville, KY. Christian was also one of the founders of the Cold Steel Scholarship, which is a part of the Blackhorse Association Scholarship program.

Chris is survived by his father, Command Master Chief David Redman (USN, Ret.) and mother Jacquelyn; sisters Jennifer Redman Campbell and Susan Jeanette Redman; and his beloved daughter Alexis Rae Redman.

Services were held at Fort Logan National Cemetery, 4400 Kenyon Ave., in Denver, on October 17, 2019, after an escorted procession from the Horan & McConaty Funeral Home, 5303 East County Line Rd., in Centennial.

In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that any remembrances be donated to the Cold Steel Scholarship Fund of the Blackhorse Association, in memory of Christian Redman.

Details may be found at https://www. blackhorse.org/scholarships/.

The Blackhorse Association recently featured Chris in its May 2019 E-News.

Stigma is barrier to treatment for behavioral health

F

from him in weeks, I broke down in an executive management meeting, in front of a team of doctors, Ph.D.s, and a senior vice president. I tried to apologize, and pull myself together — and what happened next surprised me.

Every person in that meeting came to me after and told me a personal story about mental health or addiction. On this day, when I felt so alone, all of these people were right there in front of me all along. And all that fear and shame? That was MINE. As I learned that day and have continued to learn since, there is hardly a person I know who hasn’t felt that same isolation and loneliness.

When my brother was finally ready to get treatment, he lived with me for a year. During this time, I had to explain to other people my family situation and what it was like to be a caregiver for someone in recovery. It became one of the most important things I’ve done in my life. To be there for him. To make sure he felt accepted. To make sure I understood more about his illness. To make sure he could always

come to me with a relapse.

When the Colorado Office of Behavioral Health started the Lift the Label anti-stigma campaign in 2017, we had heard clearly from our community partners that stigma was a very real barrier to people seeking treatment.

The Colorado Health Access Survey from that year found that of the 67,000 Coloradans who needed but did not get services for drug or alcohol use, almost 60% said stigma kept them from getting the care they needed.

Writing this op-ed and being a part of this campaign is scary and I wonder how people will judge me, my brother and my family. Part of me wants to be protective of him. But I have to get over my fear to bring stories public. It’s only when we realize we all know and love somebody who has been touched by addiction that we can move forward.

During National Recovery Month, I want to share a message of hope and support for anyone seeking help.

I want anyone who has been through — or is wanting to go to — treatment

to know that getting help is nothing to be ashamed of; it is something to be proud of.

If you or a loved one wants to learn more about treatment for opioid use disorder, you can go to the Lift The Label site at liftthelabel.org to find a licensed substance use treatment provider, including those who accept people without insurance. You can also download the app OpiRescue to find a primary care provider or substance use treatment provider who specializes in opioid addiction. I also want to encourage you to get involved with the new Colorado Behavioral Health Task Force. Speak up for yourself and loved ones so we can make the behavioral health system work for all Coloradans.

Make Colorado a place where everyone can get the treatment and services they need to live their best life.

Cristen Bates is the co-creator of the Lift The Label campaign and the sister of a brave big brother in recovery. She is currently the affordability lead at the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing.

I know the work being done in the classrooms and at each school building makes DCSD a destination district. Let’s keep the positive momentum going for our community,

Preserve small-town feel People say they love it here because they like the small town values and friendly people. The majority of newcomers are from larger cities look-

ing for that perfect combination of rural and big city living. The problem being most of these people have no reference for it and they bring bigcity anxiety.

They don’t know why we wave at each other on the road, say hi to strangers, offer help when people clearly need it, or even why we drive the speed limit. Community isn’t a buzz word in small towns and Castle Rock is no exception. There are surviving pockets where you can still leave your house unlocked without having a panic attack. Not long ago it wasn’t uncommon to leave your car running while making a quick purchase either for convenience or

to keep the car from stalling in cold weather. We drive the speed limit to be courteous to pedestrians and cars trying to pull out of parking lots and their driveways. We wave to let people know we see them and a “thanks” for letting us merge in front of them.

Our children roamed all over town without needing to know their every move. A neighbor would tell us if they were doing something wrong. If you are tired of hearing complaints from locals please think about what we’ve lost and if you like the small town vibe then feel free to be a part of its preservation.

ive years ago, I had started a new job in a large Colorado health system, working to expand behavioral health services, chronic disease management, and public health programs. I was also calling hospitals and jails to see if my brother was still GUEST alive. He was living on the streets of St. COLUMN Louis and, after 12 years of addiction to prescription painkillers, had started using heroin.

I would sit in my beautiful office with a view of downtown Denver and look in the mirror before Cristen Bates my next meeting to see if they could tell I had been crying again. I could never let them know what I was going through: How could they trust me as a public health professional if I couldn’t even help my family?

Some might credit Zig with helping them to achieve a little bit of success, and others will credit him with contributing to their tremendously amazing success.

As I began this column with the notion of how years from now people will continue to give others credit for their success, my intent was to remind us all that what helped us to achieve success in the past, even tremendously amazing success, are the same practices and principles that contributed to our successes yesterday, fuel our success today, and drive all of our successes yet to be realized. And the person responsible for acting on those practices and principles is you.

There are new authors and experts out there today, people with really cool perspectives and very insightful wisdom. I personally enjoy reading their posts, blogs, books and columns. I also love listening to their inspiring podcasts whenever I am traveling or commuting to work.

And what I appreciate about these women and men of all ages, is how

they maintain the integrity of the practice or principle, and yet share it in new and engaging ways.

Tremendously amazing success will mean something different for us all as we each pursue our own goals for our own reasons. For some it might be a financial goal, and yet for others it is a fitness goal. For some it’s staying in recovery from addiction, and for others it’s making it through that first day of sobriety. For some it might be becoming our own boss, and for others it’s getting a clean report on our next CT scan. Tremendously amazing success is defined and owned by each one of us as individuals.

So how about you? Are there people out there who have given you hope and encouragement, timely guidance and wisdom? Has it positively impacted your life? I would love to hear you story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can apply the motivation and teachings of others to enjoy our tremendously amazing success, it really will be a better than good week.

‘The culmination of a journey’ Christian Redman remembered by family, brothers in arms

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Christian Redman was known as a man who brought people together.

His band of brothers knew him as a man who would offer his right arm if needed, a man who would give you the shirt off his back without question.

“You grow real close when you face what we were facing every day,” said retired Capt. Dan Schultz, of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, also known as the Blackhorse Regiment, who commanded C Troop when Chris left in 1989, but served in the same unit at the same time.

Redman, 51, of Parker, died Oct. 5 of complications from the colon cancer he fiercely fought for three years. His friends say he was always a fighter — a trait instilled in him from a young age by his father, Command Master Chief David Redman, now retired from the Navy.

“They have this thing in them that they’re all fighters,” said Ron Meier, a close friend who, with Schultz and a crowd of family and friends, attended the Oct. 17 honor-guard ceremony for Redman at Fort Logan National

Among those at the service were members of the Blackhorse Association, a tightly-knit group organized for veterans in the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment.

Ray Simpson, a Blackhorse veteran from Colorado Springs, first met Redman in March after offering to drive him to Key West as part of the association’s inaugural make-a-wish last ride.

Simpson didn’t know Redman, “but I didn’t have to,” he said. “I knew his

Why people seek to be scared and what they’re really afraid of

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

reg Reinke is in the business of scary, but he doesn’t always want make you afraid.

Clad in a black leather jacket on Oct. 11 at his Littleton costume shop, Reinke Bros., he divulged his secrets for being scary without scaring people away.

“We use our minds,” Reinke said.

Scary is feeling your heart stop at the unexpected clash of plates shattering on the floor, the skin-crawling sensation of being followed or the panicked feeling of losing your balance in a dark hallway. Each year, Reinke sets out to find new ways of prodding that part in a person’s brain — finding what scares people.

“If you make an experience where people come through and have a great time, listen to them as they come out,” Reinke said. “I’m here to entertain you.”

Reinke draws a line at displaying overwhelming images of blood and guts because, to him, that’s not scary. It’s just disturbing.

He toes this line occasionally, but even the edible, fake human limbs sitting in a deli refrigerator provokes smacking lips as much as a shivering spine.

Reinke wants to show people the fun side of scary. For small children, he’ll turn all the lights on in his haunted house tour, allow them to touch the walls and see that everything is fake.

“Therefore, they know the difference between reality and fantasy,” Reinke said. “(We) teach them that being scared can be fun.”

Every person has a different tolerance for scary, but the core themes of what scares us is relatively unanimous: Failure, the unknown, death. You know when you’re scared when your heart races, your breath shortens and the hair stands up on your neck. And we seek out this feeling, whether it be from a horror film, a roller coaster ride or bungee jumping.

Lauren DeCarvalho, Ph.D., teaches a freshman-level course on horror movies at the University of Denver.

DeCarvalho said what scares people can often be attributed to real-life anxieties people feel, like losing cell phone service or being stalked.

These are newer feelings, specifically in American culture, that trigger that sense of fear. Gone are the days of werewolves and vampires scaring us, here are the days of “real-life” horrors. “(Scary) tends to fit with a lot of cognitive interests,” DeCarvalho said. “You can kind of think of it as watching a train wreck. You’re kind of repulsed, but you want to keep watching.”

How we find our scares boils down to what actually scares us, DeCarvalho said. “Paranormal Activity,” released in 2008, commented on the Great Recession. Classic 1950s alien

and sci-fi movies metaphorized the Red Scare, while ghosts often symbolize the unknown or death, DeCarvalho said.

“It’s constantly changing and keeping up with the times,” DeCarvalho said.

Most people ceremoniously celebrate these fears around Halloween and those who are particularly festive go out of their way to incite the feeling. Some are scared more easily than others.

A skeleton may be an unsettling symbol of death, but a person skipping around in a smiling skeleton jumpsuit doesn’t make us feel afraid.

Embracing something that scares us automatically reduces the scary value of it and gives us a glimpse into our greatest fears and how we would react in the face of danger. At Halloween, we laugh and giggle, collect candy and bob for apples in the face of everything that scares us so it no longer does.

“We all need that outlet and some way to get that extra little kick you wouldn’t be able to get otherwise,” said Bryan Bonner, co-founder of Rocky Mountain Paranormal.

Bonner said the feeling can be addictive, but, “just like a drug,” he said, “it takes differently” for different people.

“The spooky side of (scary) is the safe side of it, but the initial reaction is the same thing,” Bonner said. “That initial reaction is nearly identical, which is why I think people are addicted to that.”

‘Science Behind Pixar’ is trip to infinity and beyond Interactive exhibit highlights STEM and creative partnership

IF YOU GO WHAT: The Science Behind Pixar WHERE: Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd., Denver WHEN: Through April 5; open daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

TICKETS: Timed tickets will be required and advance reservations are strongly encouraged. Call 303-370-600 or visit dmns. org/pixar for information.

BY CLARKE READER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Even the most cursory look at Disney Pixar Animation Studios’ creative output makes one thing abundantly clear — the studio is responsible for the most astounding creative output of this century. In terms of technical achievement and creative storytelling, nothing comes close.

It’s the partnership between the technical and creative that gets explored in the Denver Museum of Nature & Science’s new exhibit “The Science Behind Pixar.”

“The exhibit follows the entire process of how these films and stories are created,” said Greg Koronowicz, the museum’s senior producer of digital media. “It covers everything, from what it takes to animate the 3D characters to lighting and beyond.”

The exhibit runs at the museum, 2001 Colorado Blvd., through April 5. Timed tickets will be required and advance reservations are strongly encouraged.

The heavily interactive exhibit is the perfect introduction and expansion of the science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) focus that has been gaining ground in the education world.

“What’s great about the exhibit is it shows how artists and animators rely on scientists and programmers to help create the movies,” said Dr. Ka Chun Yu, curator of space sciences at the museum. “People can learn about how the creative and scientific work together.”

Each section in the exhibit focuses on a step in the filmmaking process — modeling, rigging, surfaces, sets and cameras, animation, simulation, lighting, and rendering — with more than 50 interactive elements along the way.

Visitors can build robots like those in “WALL•E,” create a virtual 3D shape and play it in a 360-degree view and make their own stop-motion animations.

Some of the most fascinating parts of the exhibit pull back the layers on

The interactive “The Science Behind Pixar” exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science provides visitors the chance to learn how characters are made and moved in the studio’s films.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE DENVER MUSEUM OF NATURE & SCIENCE elements of filmmaking that audiences may not even consider, like lighting.

Visitors can see the lengths to which animators went to get light just right underwater for “Finding Nemo” and “Finding Dory,” the challenges of capturing the way light reflects off of shiny surface for the “Cars” trilogy, and the emotional lifting lighting choices can do in “Up.” As with every temporary exhibit, museum educators worked hard to add a touch of the museum’s style and expertise to the proceedings.

This includes an exhibit guide specifically created for young children, with highlights that will appeal to them, and a sound cart where visitors can get a taste of how sound effects are made, explained Keelin MacCarthy, one of the program specialists with the museum.

“Setting up these temporary exhibits and adding our own elements is something we take very seriously and do very well,” added Jennifer Moss Logan, content specialist at the museum. “We try to pinpoint what will be meaningful and special to our guests and add that.”

If you’ve been moved by the stories Pixar brings to the screen and want to know how they do it, or want to get a taste of the careers available to those who study STEM fields, there is truly something everyone can learn at the exhibit.

“The exhibit expands everyone’s horizons, especially kids who will be coming out of high school and college having studied science, technology, engineering and math,” said Koronowicz.

“I wish I knew this stuff was available when I was in school.”

Some of Pixar’s most beloved characters come to life at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science’s “The Science Behind Pixar” exhibit, which runs at the museum through April 5.

Film fest takes audiences to new places Denver event also honors late artistic director

BY CLARKE READER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

At its core, film is an expression of people’s lives, and as such, it stands to reason film festivals would mirror this fact. And for more than two decades, the Denver Film Festival was at least partly an expression of Denver Film’s artistic director, Michael Brittin “Brit” Withey.

The 50-year-old was killed in a one-car accident on March 31 and so it’s fitting that the 42nd Denver Film Festival begins with a tribute to the man and just some of the movies he loved.

“Brit was a mentor to me, so I’ve been working with others in his stead on this year’s festival,” said Matthew Campbell, interim artistic director. “We spent the last year trying to put together something really special. Something to honor Brit’s legacy and something for everyone, regardless of what their tastes are.”

The festival kicks off on Wednesday, Oct. 30 and runs through Sun-

day, Nov. 10 at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, 14th and Curtis Street, UA Denver Pavilions, 500 16th St. and SIE Film Center, 2510 E. Colfax Ave. The Festival Annex will again be set up at the McNichols Civic Center Building, 144 W. Colfax Ave. During the festival’s run more than 250 films will be screened, including local, national and international works. There will also be industry panels, achievement awards, tributes, as well as an International Focus on Brazilian Cinema.

“We have some great red carpets with some movies that will be discussed well into award season,” said Festival Director and Interim Executive Director Britta Erickson.

“The body of program is super strong, with films from more than 40 countries.”

Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out,” featuring a knock-out cast that includes Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Toni Collette, LaKeith Stanfield and Jamie Lee Curtis, is one of four red carpet special events, with Johnson in attendance to receive the 2019 John Cassavetes Award on Thursday, Oct. 31.

Other notable films that will be screened include Trey Edward Shults’ award-worthy “Waves,” Noah Baumbach’s “Marriage Story”

Colfax Ave Festival Annex McNichols Civic Center Building 144 W. Colfax Ave. TICKETS: www.denverfilm.org and Mark Cousins’ 14-hour documentary, “Women Make Film.”

As in previous years, the Festival Annex has become the place to be for people who want a more interactive experience. The annex will play host to panel discussions; virtual reality, interactive and immersive experiences; High School Day; community engagement; and a Festival Lounge for the public.

A popular returning feature is the 60-minute “Fire Escape,” which can include up to 15 people at a time.

In the experience, eight building tenants are entangled in a murder and participants need to solve the case. And then there is “Arden’s Wake: Tide’s Fall,” a virtual reality experience that takes place in

a post-apocalyptic world, where a young woman lives with her father in a lighthouse at the edge of an endless sea.

“Creatives are doing some really exciting things with VR experiences,” said Campbell. “We’re bringing these different types of storytelling and new technological forms to Denver audience. A lot of them are brand new, and there’s no other way to experience them.”

Creating an experience is really what makes attending a film festival a unique experience. For many of these films, particularly shorts and international films, this may be the only chance to see them on a big screen. Both Campbell and Erickson encourage attendees to be bold and adventurous when selecting films or themes to explore and then attend a panel or discuss the films you check out.

“What’s important in experiencing a film festival is taking chances.

Read through the guide, pick things that feel heartfelt to you and things that connect with you,” Erickson said. “You may not love everything you see, but you have to dive in. We want you to have a dialogue about what you see, because you get more out of the experience when you interact with your fellow audience members.”

South Metro Chamber president to leave for new job Bob Golden has held post since 2014; search is on for replacement

Your conservative choice for school board

IF YOU GO

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce will be hunting for a new leader soon, after President and CEO Bob Golden announced he will step down from the post at the end of October.

Golden, who has led the chamber since 2014, is taking a job as the business operations manager for the Water Design-Build Council, a Maryland-based notfor-profit group that Golden seeks to “advance the development and rehabilitation of the nation’s municipal water and wastewater systems,” according to its website.

Golden will work remotely from Denver, he said.

“Leaving the chamber is bittersweet,” Golden said. “The bottom line is, I feel I’ve given them my best, and it’s time to move on, and for the chamber it’s time for them to get someone new with fresh vision and ideas.”

Golden said he’s proud of the work he and the chamber’s board and members accomplished over the last five years.

“I think we brought a lot of stabilization to the organization,” Golden said. “When I got here, there was a tendency to be sort of scattered. It was unfocused, and that was frustrating. We instituted a vision: economic development, public policy advocacy and business engagement. Once we got that vision in place, it really helped us grow.”

The chamber, which has its headquarters in Centennial, boasts thousands of members, Golden said, stretching from south Denver to Castle Rock, and from Parker to the mountains. Member businesses run the gamut, “From Mr. Smoothie to Lockheed Martin,” Golden said.

Golden really whipped the group into shape, said board member Andrew Graham, who stepped down as chair of the board in September.

“When he came on, he needed to ensure the financial solvency of the chamber, reinvigorate our events and our member base, and reconstitute the board,” Graham said. “He did a great job at all of that. Like the Boy Scouts say, he left it better than he found it.”

A board committee will begin working to find an interim replace-

ment right away, Graham said, with hopes to appoint a long-term successor to Golden by the first quarter of 2020.

Christie Lee, the board’s current chair, said in a statement that the chamber will work hard to find the right fit.

“Rest assured that we will proceed expeditiously and perform the due diligence required to find and select the best candidate for the position,” Lee said in a news release. “The South Metro Denver Chamber is a wonderful organization and whoever is selected will be very fortunate and have an opportunity to continue to grow the chamber.”

Graham said the chamber will be looking for “someone who can build on this momentum.”

“Someone who’s dedicated to the south metro region, and a passion for what this group is,” he said.

“Ideally, that would be someone who lives in our region already, but it might be a hotshot chamber executive from elsewhere.”

In the meantime, Graham said, there’s still lots of work to be done elsewhere, including the chamber’s annual Economic Forecast Breakfast, scheduled for January.

The chamber owes a debt of gratitude to Golden, Graham said.

“He showed true and heartfelt dedication to a tough job,” he said.

Castle of Terror canceled in Castle Rock

Organizers hope to restart haunted house next year

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A popular haunted house in Castle Rock was canceled this year amid logistical setbacks and safety concerns.

Organizers said they hope to bring the event back next year but are waiting to make that decision.

The fire department’s live burn training tower at 303 Malibu St. is each October transformed into a ghoul-infested, spooky spree called the Castle of Terror. The local haunt often draws thousands of spectators in a season, said Deputy Fire Chief Rich Martin.

Castle Rock’s fire and police Explorer posts host the attraction as a fundraiser for the Explorer program. The program allows teens to learn basic training in fire suppression, emergency medical services and policing.

Detective Amanda Lane with the Castle Rock Police Department is the lead adviser for the police Explorer program. The haunted house is the

program’s biggest fundraiser and has been growing in popularity, she said.

“It was really hard to make that call and obviously pretty sad, the kids were upset,” Lane said. “We just couldn’t’ come up with a safe way to hold it this year. There were too many unknowns.”

Martin oversees the fire department’s Explorer program. Both he and Lane help organize the haunted house.

Parking at the tower has always been limited but was worsened this year by a construction project underway near the tower, Martin said.

The town is building an expanded, $2.56 million training facility on the training campus for its fire and police departments.

Constructing the 6,000-square foot building means hazards like heavy machinery now sit on the active construction site and pose a safety risk, Martin said. Organizers also considered the lack of parking and possibility of people walking along streets when deciding not to hold the event this year.

“Those are the types of safety concerns that weighed heavily on us,”

Martin said.

Lane said they didn’t want to ask neighboring businesses to open their parking lots for potentially hundreds of people to use on Castle of Tower nights.

The building typically used by cast members to get into wardrobe is also part of the construction project and unavailable to use this year. About 30 volunteers participate from the police department, Lane said, but that’s not including actors or fire personnel.

Martin said the town decided against finding an alternative location because it would have cost the Explorer program money, taking funding from activities like sending Explorers to conferences.

In the past two years, the fire and police Explorer posts raised $8,000 each through Castle of Terror proceeds.

The Explorer posts are looking into new fundraising options to offset what it would have raised from the haunted house in 2019. Lane said people can bring donations for the Explorer program to police headquarters, 100 Perry St. The haunted house has been a local

fixture since 2005.

Volunteers would spend hours putting together elaborate costumes and chilling makeup before showtime.

Lines formed at the door and people could be heard screaming their way through the various levels from outside the building.

Organizers will wait to decide whether to hold the Castle of Terror next year once the construction project has wrapped up.

At that point they can assess the level of parking and logistical feasibility of using the campus for the Castle of Terror, Martin said. When the project was considered for council approval, construction was expected to wrap up in 2020.

“We want to see once we get the new building built up there again, logistically how it’s going to lay out,” Martin said. “Before we make a commitment one way or another.”

Lane said the town is optimistic the event will return next year, and they plan to make a decision “as early as we can.”

“It’s a bummer for the community that we couldn’t do it this year,” Lane said. “The plan is to bring it back.”

Colorado church abuse victims eligible for unlimited payouts

Administrators of reparations program include veteran of compensation for Aurora, 9/11 victims

BY COLLEEN SLEVIN ASSOCIATED PRESS

People who were abused by Catholic priests in Colorado can file claims to receive unlimited payouts under a church-funded compensation program that began operating Oct. 7.

The formation of the Colorado Independent Reconciliation and Reparations Program was announced by nDenver Archbishop Samuel Aquila and Attorney General Phil Weiser in February along with a review of church records to determine which priests in the dioceses of Colorado, Denver and Pueblo have had credible allegations of sexual abuse made against them. The administrators of the program, including Kenneth Feinberg, who oversaw victims’ compensation for the 2012 Aurora theater shooting and the Sept. 11 attacks, sent out packets to 65 people who had previously reported being abused by diocesan priests to church officials. People who have not previously reported abuse have until Nov. 30 to contact the program to start the

process of filing a claim.

All claims must be filed by Jan. 31 and can only made concerning clergy who worked for Colorado dioceses, not members of independent religious orders.

Feinberg said he has the final say on compensation awards and his decisions cannot be appealed.

However, he said victims could wait to see what the offer was before deciding to accept it. If they do accept it, they would have to agree not to sue the church.

Victims could also receive a hearing to talk about what happened to them, something Feinberg said is sometimes more important.

“It means a huge amount to some people,” he said at press conference with Weiser and members of a volunteer board led by former U.S. Sen.

Feinberg said Colorado’s program is very similar to ones he is administrating for Catholic dioceses in four other states — California, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Payments in other state have ranged Samuel Aquila from $10,000 to $500,000, he said.

ROHAH BROUGHT THE

GRIT It can happen to anyone, at any time. Injury. When it happened to Rohah, a stress fracture in her foot nearly ended her tennis season before it began.

Her recovery team at Children’s Colorado custom-built her a plan that helped her come back strong — but it took more than that to finish her season ranked #3 in the region. That took grit.

Thanks for inspiring me, Rohah.

Food at FNG, one of Troy Guard’s restaurants. He is planning on opening up a food hall by the midpoint of the summer of 2020. Plans for what kind of food will be available are still in the works.

New south metro area food hall in the works Chef Troy Guard aims to open venue in summer 2020

Premier academics with experiential learning

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Troy Guard knows what it’s like to run a traditional restaurant. The chef owns multiple entities including Guard and Grace, FNG, some Los Chingones and more but now he has his eyes on a different food service concept.

Guard is in the midst of planning a food hall that will reside in the old CB & Potts that closed earlier this year at 6575 S. Greenwood Plaza Blvd. at the Denver Tech Center. While a name for the food hall is still in the works, Guard is anticipating an opening by the midpoint of the summer of 2020.

Food halls — modern, cafeteria-style markets — have grown in popularity throughout the Denver metro area with places like Avanti Food and Beverage, Denver Central Market and others sprouting up in recent years. By the end of 2020, there will be around 450 food halls around the country, according to a report from Cushman & Wakefield, a commercial real estate services company.

“Obviously (food halls) are the new trend. I don’t think it’s a fad,” said Guard. “I think it’s here to stay. You see the growth year after year in all these different cities, but for me, the food hall type of thing has got something for everyone.”

Guard is planning to have up to 10 food vendors at the food hall. He says he wants his customers to have a wide variety of dishes to pick from, but the plans for what kinds of food will be offered are still unknown.

“The environment that we’re going to create inside is going to feel like a

Troy Guard owns multiple restaurants, including Guard and Grace, FNG, some Los Chingones and more. Guard plans to have a brewery in the food hall once it opens. local pub,” said Kevin Hawkins, one of Guard’s partners. “We don’t just want to do average food. We want to do something over the top. (Guard) is one of the most highly regarded chefs in Colorado. He’s a great guy, has great ideas, a great team, and we’re excited.”

Aside from offering food, the food hall will include a brewery and a bar, operated by Ken Himel. He currently owns the Star Bar, located at 2137 Larimer St. Himel said he has hopes that the brewery will be award-worthy at some point.

“The bar is going to be just like every other element in the food hall.

It is going to be able to stand on its own,” said Himel. “As far as this overall process of the food hall you’re going to be able to be there for breakfast, lunch, happy hour, dinner, and you’re going to want to go there late at night.”

Armored Cavalry Regiment. He arrived in Fulda, Germany, as a Private First Class, where he met his commanding officer, Schulz, serving from 1986-89. The 11th Armored Cavalry was stationed at the front step of the Soviet Union and stood guard as the Berlin Wall fell in 1989.

After four years in the Army, he began a career in law enforcement, eventually becoming chief of the City of Hurstbourne Acres Police Department in Jefferson County, Kentucky. He semi-retired to be with his family in Parker in 2014. There, he started and ran a construction company until his illness kept him from working.

Redman is survived by his father, his mother Jacquelyn, sisters Jennifer Redman Campbell and Susan Jeanette Redman, and his beloved daughter, Alexis Rae Redman.

“I’ve lived three lifetimes in one — I’ve stuffed everything in it,” Redman said during an interview in February. “The most important thing is my daughter is taken care of.”

Meier and a number of Redman’s Parker friends, including Bob Nobles of Takoda Tavern, held a fundraiser and started a GoFundMe to help pay for expenses of the trip and Redman’s medical bills. People from across the Denver metro area and country contributed.

“It’s the culmination of a journey,” Meier said at Fort Logan. “It wasn’t a fun journey for him or his friends because he was a very proud man. He was a vivacious guy, the life-of-the-party guy, and to see that deteriorate was heartbreaking.”

For Redman, who was accustomed to being the problem-solver, the one organizing help and fundraisers for others, the reversal of roles was humbling. The generosity of strangers and friends touched him deeply.

This beer is good as gourd Elizabeth cops decide doughnuts are perfect ingredient for brew

BY TABATHA STEWART SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

What happens when you turn Elizabeth police officers loose inside a brewing room at The Elizabeth Brewing Company?

With a huge, open tank of bubbling mash just begging for them to add a special ingredient?

You guessed it. You end up with doughnuts in the beer.

Officers were invited by owner Emily Briggs to create their own signature beer, and after deciding on pumpkin spice amber ale, officers knew it wouldn’t be a true cop brew without some pumpkin spice doughnuts thrown in.

“Officers had their choice of a snickerdoodle cream ale, a vanilla bourbon stout or the pumpkin spice amber ale,” said Briggs. “They added the doughnuts to the mash, and then they got to choose the name of the beer.”

The beer, as well as the name the police department chose for their concoction, will be un-

d n o c Se l a u n An

veiled at the Elizabeth Harvest Festival on Oct. 26. One dollar from every pint sold, and $5 from every custom T-shirt sold, will be donated to the police department to help fund their annual student academy.

Briggs said when they opened The Elizabeth Brewing Company just over a year ago, they knew they wanted to be involved with the community and help support local organizations.

“We realized community is really important to the people of Elizabeth,” said Briggs. “We decided our mission, vision and values were to support the community in every way that we can.”

Local firefighters created their own brew with Briggs in May, and named it Station 271.

According to Briggs, the beer sold out in about two weeks, and the T-shirts were so popular they had to place a second order. Pints of the special batches are sold until the beer runs out, then customers will have to wait to see what the next group brews up.

“Working with The Elizabeth Brewing Company was fun and informative,” said Police Cmdr. Melvin Berghahn. “We’re looking forward to sharing our creation with the community.”

Elizabeth Chief of Police Stephen Hasler stirs the pot while helping create a specialty brew at The Elizabeth Brewing Company.

SPORTS STUDENT-ATHLETE STUDENT ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT

Putting speed into play

Chris Cornn is fast on his feet and canny on positioning

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

C

hris Cornn has learned this season to take advantage of his running speed on the soccer

pitch.

Cornn, a senior captain and top scorer on the Ponderosa soccer team, has used his speed and hard work to develop into one of the top scorers in the Continental League by finishing on scoring chances this season.

He was involved in 19 of Ponderosa’s 27 goals through the first 11 games this season.

“I do rely on my speed because of what my (Colorado Rapids) club coach taught me, to embrace my speed and how to use that more than just straight-up running,” said Cornn. “It’s really all about positioning because I just can’t stand there for a whole 90 minutes.

“Growing during the club season really helped me a lot. I got a lot of finishing reputation. It feels great to score a goal, probably the best feeling.”

Have a suggestion for whom to feature in Student-Athlete Spotlight?

Email Jim Benton at

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Q&A with Cornn What’s your favorite pre-game meal?

Chick-fil-A spicy chicken deluxe sandwich meal with a Dr Pepper.

Who is your favorite athlete and why?

Lionel Messi. He’s considered to be the greatest soccer player of all time and I look up to him.

What or who motivates you most to excel in sports?

My mom (Charlene) always wants me to work

hard. She always comes to our games and cheers us on, no matter what.

What would be a perfect performance in your sport?

At least a goal and assist.

What is your favorite class in school and why?

Physical education. I just like to be athletic.

What do you like to do away from sports and school?

Mostly play video games and sometimes I go to the

weight room and just lift.

What are your plans after high school?

I want to go to a four-year college and major in sports science. Yeah, I’d love to play soccer.

What are your pre-game rituals?

I put my right sock on, then my left sock, then my shin guards and my shoes.

Then I put water on my cleats. I don’t know why. It is just a ritual.

What is your favorite movie?

“Avengers: Endgame.”

The way they do the movie is really nice.

How tough are a penalty kicks for the shooter?

They are really tough because it is a 50-50 chance.

The goalkeeper has to dive the right way and you have to place it right.

There is a lot of pressure.

It seems really easy from about eighth yards out but sometimes it is a little difficult.

COACH’S TAKE: ‘He’s matured a lot in the last year. So he’s been kind of a difference for us along with our goalie Cameron Klein.

He’s probably the fastest player I’ve ever coached. He’s got great soccer skills. This year around the goal he is finishing.’

Jim Engels, Ponderosa boys soccer coach

Key stats | In 11 games played, Cornn had 11 goals and nine assists to lead the Continental League in points and was tied for the lead in goal scoring.

In the long run, talent rises to top I admire cross country runners, because frankly, it doesn’t look like much fun.

The better runners finish and hardly look out of breath, while I have to pause after running or jogging to the car.

All of the state’s best runners will be competing at the state cross country meet on Oct. 26 at the Norris Penrose Events Center in Colorado Springs.

In Class 5A, all eyes will be on Valor Christian senior Cole Sprout. He is the defending champion, who OVERTIME also won the 4A state title in 2017.

Sprout won the Region 2 qualifying meet on Oct. 17 with a time of 15:46.80.

Other 5A boys contenders are junior Parker Wolfe of Cherry Creek, Jim Benton Wesley Beckham of Rock Canyon, several Dakota Ridge runners, Arapahoe’s John Forbes and Kevin Conlon of Fort Collins.

Defending champion Dakota Ridge appears to be the team to beat, but Mountain Vista, Valor and Fort Collins will be the challengers.

Cherry Creek’s Riley Stewart, the Region 1 champ, heads the list of leading 5A girls runners. The sophomore ran a 17:49.60 to capture the qualifying meet and has a top time this season of 17:05.00 on Oct. 5 at the Steve Lohman Invitational.

Defending champion senior Jenna Fitzsimmons, of Mountain Vista, will be in the title picture along with Taylor Whitfield and Brooke Wilson of Valor Christian, Aidyn Woodall of Douglas County and Ava Escorcia of Arapahoe.

Cherry Creek, runner-up to defending champion Mountain Vista last season, will be among the girls 5A team title contenders, along with Cherokee Trail, Pine Creek and Valor.

Feeling better It seems like the Rock Canyon and Highlands Ranch football teams, which had to deal with players going down with hand, foot and mouth disease, are doing better with no new cases reported.

STAFF REPORT

Rock Canyon, the top-ranked girls softball team according to the CHSAANow.com poll, and Centennial League champion Arapahoe won regional-qualifying tournaments on Oct. 19.

The Jaguars and Warriors will be two of the 16 Classs 5A teams in the state softball tournament, which will be held Oct. 25 and 26 at the Aurora Sports Park.

Two-time defending state champion Legend, Valor Christian, Lakewood, Smoky Hill, Ralston Valley and Arvada West were local teams that also qualified to play in the state 5A tournament.

Golden, Wheat Ridge, Elizabeth and top-ranked Holy Family won 4A regional tournaments and will among the 16 teams competing for the 4A championship.

Rock Canyon (24-1) posted mercy-rule wins of 15-0 over Denver South and 12-0 over Lakewood in winning the 5A Region 1 tournament at Redstone Park.

Lakewood came back to beat Mountain Vista, 12-6, to claim the region’s second qualifying berth.

Annika Sprague and Katie

Dack homered in Rock Canyon’s game against Lakewood and Anna Reimers didn’t allow a hit while striking out 10 batters in the four-inning contest.

Arapahoe also collected mercy-rule victories with a 13-1 win over Fort Collins and a 12-0 conquest of Mountain Range in the Region 7 tourney at Clement Park.

Katie Maney had five runs batted in and the Warriors collected 13 hits in the victory over Fort Collins. Mia Glover went 3-for-3 and Keely Holt collected three RBIs in the triumph over Mountain Range.

Legend prevailed, 16-9, in a slugfest win over Cherokee Trail to earn the second qualifying berth in the Region 8 tournament at Columbine High School. Legend and Cherokee Trail played in last season’s state championship game.

Senior Eden McNally had a homer and double among her three hits and drove in six runs as Valor downed Cherry Creek, 10-4, to gain the second qualifying berth in the Region 3 tournament at Rolland Moore Park in Fort Collins.

Rock Canyon’s Katie Dack blasts a shot in early innings. Dack later added a home run as her Jaguars only needed five innings to get their 12-0 victory over Lakewood to lock up the 5A Region 1 Championship Oct. 19 at Redstone Park.

Rock Canyon, Arapahoe among softball teams to advance to state

HFMD is common in children under age 10. According to the Mayo Clinic, it is caused by the coxsackievirus and is passed around mostly by contact. There is no treatment and those with it are contagious for about a week. Symptoms include fever, poor appetite, sore throat, small sores and a rash.

“It is an ugly-sounding virus, but it’s like a cold and just has to run its course,” said Rock Canyon Athletic Director Tom Brieske. “We have had no new cases. We feel like we are in pretty good shape. We have a school of 2,300 students and only 15 students got HFMD. We had 11 or 12 confirmed football players and no players from any other team were sick. We felt like we contained it pretty well.”

Rock Canyon disinfected facilities and equipment. The Douglas County School District came in to deep clean and sanitize door handles, water fountains and other areas students commonly touch.

Highlands Ranch’s team is healthy now after playing Rock Canyon on Oct. 4 .

“We had four cases all stemming from our Rock Canyon game,” said coach TJ Rubley. “Nobody has gotten sick since and we think we are through the window now.”

Hall of Fame for Gwozdecky Former University of Denver hockey coach George Gwozdecky, who is now the head hockey coach at Valor Christian, was one of six people selected to be inducted as part of the 2020 class of the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame.

Gwozdecky, who coached for 19 seasons at DU with a 443-267-64 record and two NCAA championships, will

be joined in the new class of inductees by former Rockies general manager Bob Gebhard, Air Force Academy gold medal winner Alonzo Babers, paralympian Erin Popovich, exMitchell High School and Oklahoma State running back Terry Mitchell and skier Lindsey Vonn.

The Hall of Fame banquet is April 23, 2020.

Honor roll Each week, performances of south metro athletes and teams will be highlighted. This week’s performances were selected from games, matches and meets between Oct. 10 and Oct. 17.

David Dody of Regis Jesuit averaged 6.7 yards per carry, rushed for 188 yards and scored five touchdowns in a 38-21 football victory over Legend on Oct. 11.

Jaden Wolf scored twice as the Arapahoe boys soccer team notched a 4-1 win over Mullen on Oct. 11.

Jayle Sacks rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown, while James Walker ran for 136 yards and a TD as the Cherry Creek football team downed Arapahoe 24-7 on Oct. 10.

Legend junior Rylie Kadel had 13 kills and a 65 percent kill percentage in a 3-0 volleyball win over Ponderosa on Oct. 10.

Junior Cael Porter made the most of his 12 carries as he gained 150 yards for an average of 12.5 yards per attempt and scored a TD in Ponderosa’s 42-7 football win over Gateway on Oct. 17.

Valor Christian’s volleyball team gave up only 34 points in three sets during a 3-0 sweep over Arvada West on Oct. 15.
