teve Cook, a Douglas County School District assistant superintendent, remembers being a young teacher who gave a lot and got little in return.

He spent the first seven of his 25 years in education at a small school where he taught six grades of science classes.

“Which meant six different preps

— and in science that means labs and things like that, and at the time I was making $20,000,” Cook said of his time in Kansas during the 1990s.

“I was busting my hump to do good by the kids.”

The teacher two doors down never got up from his chair.

“He was like the guy you saw on ‘Ferris Bueller’ who would read the paper and everyone would drop their packets in the in-box and the next week they would be in the outbox,” said Cook, who will be interim

superintendent when Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen leaves July 4 for her new position in Texas. “He was making twice what I was making and it was just so disheartening. What do you do with that as a new teacher?”

Thanks to the district’s marketbased, pay-for-performance system, Cook said, that inequity of effortversus-reward no longer exists in Douglas County. That same system, however, has been a lightning rod of Teachers continues on Page 6

They had just ridden in along Plum Creek Trail to help celebrate Bike to Work Day. “I live and work right here in Castle Rock, so it’s easy to do,” Onda, 50, said.

“The event gets people fired up about cycling and to have fewer cars on the road to cut down emissions.”

“I come every year,” Brown, 48, said.

“I think it helps to show support for the whole cycling community.”

Hopaholics Belgian blonde — based on a recipe by homebrewer Mark Buster, is on tap at 105 West Brewing for a limited time.

Microbrewery teams with club member on new recipe 105 West Brewing in Castle Rock serves winning homebrew

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com For many homebrewers, the ultimate dream is to have your beer brewed professionally on a commercial scale. For Mark Buster, of Centennial — a member of the local homebrew club the Parker Hopaholics — that dream became a reality.

His homemade Belgian golden ale won the group’s Spring Intra-Club Competition, earning the right to be brewed at 105 West Brewing Company in Castle Rock.

A recent addition to the brewpub scene in the southeast metro area, 105 West has been open seven months. Principal owner and brewmaster Eric Seufert is pleased with the progress he and his

partners have made.

“We started out as a homebrew supply shop and built a loyal client base of people who enjoy making and drinking beer,” he said. “Expanding our shop into a small production brewery was a logical next step.”

Another logical step, he said, was partnering with Parker Hopaholics.

“I think a brew club searches out anything that increases their knowledge and we do, too,” said Seufert, who knows many in the Parker group because of his shop. “They’re one of the younger brew clubs, so it’s nice to partner up with them because we’re new, too.”

On April 20, 205 pounds of grain were dumped into a stainless steel vat full of hot water. The runoff — or wort — cycled through 105 West’s custom-made brewing system. Liquid yeast was added to the resulting 120 gallons and the fermentation process began. The Belgian golden ale was tapped on May 6.

On the menu, patrons will find it under Hopaholics Belgian blonde. It’s a lighter beer with a 6 percent ABV (the alcohol percentage of a beer), with a fruity, pear-like flavor and aroma.

On tapping day, Buster stopped in to see how his brew turned out.

“I thought it was very close” to the original, Buster wrote on Facebook. “Lots of the Belgian character that I love. I think it will even be better once it brightens up in the tank for a while. I like clear golden Belgians for whatever reason. I saw a number of people order it, and we brought home four of those 32-ounce cans they make. Fun times for me.”

A number of Hopaholics joined in the celebration of Buster’s achievement by downing a few pints themselves.

“At the rate it was being poured, it’s doubtful that it’s going to have much of a chance to ‘improve’ in the tank,” Hopaholics member Bob Samborski wrote on the group’s website. “Besides, we all

Family Owned, Family Run

thought it tasted just great.”

Samborski was right. Just over a month later, there is one keg of Belgian blonde left.

Seufert, who employs 10 full- and part-time employees, is constantly experimenting with different beer styles and recipes.

“People like to try different kinds of beers,” he said. “We are focused on brewing quality traditional beer styles as well as experimenting with seasonal variations. We’re not tied to any particular style.”

Sixteen rotating taps provide plenty of interesting options to try while enjoying the cozy taproom, finished in beetle-kill pine and old barrel staves.

In regards to the Belgian blonde, he said it will be back in the rotation in the future.

“We liked it better than our similar version,” Seufert said. “We will probably brew it again.”

Proposed tax increase would raise teacher salaries, fund capital needs Benevento will make pitch to community at July 19 school board meeting

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County school board member Doug Benevento has two new tax proposals that would help raise teacher pay and address high-priority capital needs in the district.

“I said let’s take a look at capital needs and teacher salaries and figure out what the cost of the solution is,” Benevento said.

The solution that Benevento will propose Benevento at the next board meeting July 19 is two mill levy overrides, which would need voter approval. One worth $28.9 million would go toward raising teacher salaries and another worth $25 million would go to urgent capital needs projects. Benevento said he would not support any money going toward new construction.

The recently approved 2016-17 budget for the district includes $9 million that will be spent on a 3 percent average pay increase, including retirement and Medicare, for all district employees and $1.6 million on PERA (retirement savings) rate increases.

The district has set aside $3.2 million for technology updates, $750,000 for upgrades and maintenance of the professional development and evaluation software system InspirEd, $1 million for school innovation and growth — which could include some capital improvement needs — and $1 million for general facility needs.

On top of that, the district has a $5 million contingency budget to address unexpected breakdowns and other needs, according to DCSD Chief Financial Officer Bonnie Betts.

Benevento said with the help of Betts, he compared Douglas County to eight peer districts to determine the average teacher salary. Benevento’s plan would raise the average salary for a district teacher to the average plus 1 percent.

With the new money, the average teacher salary would rise from $51,274 to $58,412.

The HOPE Online facilities included in the capital needs override would include only those facilities in Douglas County, according to Benevento.

“If we did this, it would raise our mill levy rate to about average for peer (competitor) districts,” he said.

The increase would bring the district slightly above the average mill levy override for the peer districts, he said.

“Currently the average for what we consider our peer or competitor districts is 13.63 (that includes our MLO).

Currently Douglas County is at 5.9 MLO. My proposal would bring us to 15.2,” Benevento said.

Benevento said the November 2015 school board election — in which three incumbents were ousted — showed him the community supports improvements in these areas and he would like to “put it in front of the voters.”

“We had an election and that election told us something,” Benevento said.

He said the measures could be separate or combined into a single tax measure if there was support for both.

If the measures get on the November ballot and if they pass, the tax increase would be about $75.67 annually per Schools continues on Page 9

Salt and sand give way to sirens

SMFR buys building from town to keep reserve truck at the ready

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com An unassuming cinder blockand-concrete building that had been used to store sand and road salt for the Douglas County School District will now house reserve fire engines for the South Metro Fire and Rescue Authority.

The building was owned by the town of Parker and the Douglas County School District. On June 6, town council approved the sale of its 88 percent share to South Metro Fire and Rescue for $77,352, giving the authority a convenient storage option when a vehicle needs a tune up or other maintenance. The school district is in talks with South Metro to sell the remaining share.

“It got to be a little bit of a hassle,” Fleet Bureau Chief Brian Brown said, referring to the process of rotating vehicles between South Metro’s 17 stations for scheduled repairs, tests and upgrades.

Vince Turner, South Metro’s assistant chief of support services, said the purchase was an easy fix for the problem.

“Storage space is always an issue,” he said. “This was an opportunity to buy an existing facility and use it to store emergency apparatus on site.”

A reserve truck is dispersed to any district when one of its vehicles needs to be in the garage at 17801 E. Plaza Drive. Having the extra space means a reserve truck can be at the ready and out of the elements.

The new storage building also allows more elbow room for the authority’s staff of maintenance

Brian Brown, left, and Randy Brighton talk about a “switch out,” a process of transferring equipment from one fire engine to another, on June 20. The South Metro Fire Rescue Authority recently purchased a storage facility to keep reserve engines close by. Photos by Tom Skelley technicians, who are always busy testing, inspecting or repairing the authority’s engines and ambulances as well as vehicles from other local fire departments.

“There are only two things we can’t fix here,” Brown said, looking around the garage. “We can’t fix a broken heart, or the crack of dawn.”

As part of intergovernmental agreements with both districts, South Metro has a mechanic on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week year-round to service any ve-

hicles from the Elizabeth and Cunningham fire protection districts.

“It’s kind of like having AAA,” Brown said.

The newly-bought building will need a few repairs itself, mostly electrical refurbishing, according to Turner. But it already has one occupant.

“The Judge,” a World War II-era crash truck most Parker residents will recognize, went directly to the facility after its annual appearance in the Parker Days parade.

Lt. Brian Netzel inspects an engine at the South Metro Fire Rescue Authority headquarters in Parker on June 20. Netzel says each truck is “a pump, a tank and a rolling toolbox.”

From the post office to the primary Detailing the journey of a mail-in ballot

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Though the mail-in ballot process has been in place in Colorado for three years, it has almost completely replaced the traditional system of waiting in line at polling stations in Douglas County.

Less than a week before the June 28 primary election, the staff at the Douglas County Elections Building was preparing for its big night.

“In the last election, we had 805 polling place ballots out of over 93,000 voters,” said Merlin — Klotz, Douglas Number of ballots County’s clerk mailed in Douglas and recorder.

County “That’s less than 1 per— cent.”

Number of active Ballots went registered voters out on June — 8 and began Number of registered returning to Democrats the elections building at — 125 StephaNumber of registered nie Place in Republicans Castle Rock on June 10. Since — then, a team Number of voters of 11 full-time registered in other employees, six parties voter-support employees and two temporary support staff have been busy processing the ballots.

The Douglas County elections staff is aware of the sentiment among some voters who are reluctant to send their ballot through the mail. Klotz said the “paranoia” is understandable but added that most of the population pays utility and other bills through the mail, and if they trust the post office with their money, they should trust it with their vote.

Klotz added ballot boxes, made of plate steel and weighing 650 pounds each, are built to ensure security.

“They’re like tanks,” Klotz said, joking that one box “ran into a car” last year. The only damage it suffered was a dented leg, faring much better than the car.

Drop boxes, located at libraries and other government buildings throughout the county, are watched over 24 hours a day, seven days a week by an election judge, a camera or both. If a judge or camera views any suspicious activity near one of the boxes, a quarantine protocol is put into place and law enforcement, the district attorney and the secretary of state are notified.

Six election judges, working in teams of two, selected from different political parties, collect ballots from drop boxes once a day Monday through Friday, placing them in locked bags to deliver them to the Douglas County election facility, which is also monitored around-the-clock by cameras. They ramp up their schedule

Election judges remove ballots from their envelopes and count, then recount, then recount again the number of ballots and envelopes on June 24 in the Douglas County Elections Building in Castle Rock. Deputy of elections Sheri Davis refers to the teams of three as a “dealer” and two “players” because the process appears similar to a game of blackjack. Photos by Tom Skelley the Monday before election day, hitting each box at least twice, and they make a minimum of five collections on Election Day. All access to rooms where ballots are stored is restricted to certified personnel, and judges can only access ballot storage in groups of two or more, again, from different parties. Klotz said ensuring the team members are registered to different political groups ensures transparency.

“Everybody has a bias,” Klotz said. “But we’ve set up a process where everybody is looking over everybody’s shoulder…

Nobody can mess with anything.”

Cameras, located in every corner of every room at the elections building, are also looking over the shoulders of everyone involved in the process.

Once ballots are collected and delivered to the elections building, they are run through a machine that verifies ballot authenticity. A camera takes photographs of each signature to compare it to the existing signature in a voter’s file, and to make sure that only one ballot has been returned by each voter. The signature is then verified by judges from different parties.

Deputy of Elections Sheri Davis, who has worked in the department for more than 11 years, said every effort is made to validate signatures in a fair fashion.

The machine “marries” each signature to the one a voter has on file, Davis said.

If they don’t match, it takes two judges, one Democrat and one Republican, to reject the ballot. The rejected ballot is then evaluated again by a second-tier team that looks at all of the signatures in the voter’s file to see if the current one is similar enough to others to allow the ballot to be counted. If it is rejected again, a signature verification letter is sent to the voter, who has up to eight days after the election to clarify the issue.

Once ballots are accepted, they are

removed from their envelopes and security paper in a three-person process that looks a lot like a dealer and two players playing blackjack. Ballots and envelopes are hand-counted by the “dealers” and “players.” Then they are counted again.

And a third time.

“I ask them to treat the envelopes like cash,” Davis said.

Voters’ choices on ballots are then recorded, but not tallied until the moment polls close on election night. A scanner makes images of each ballot and the information is stored in an encrypted machine. Davis said the machines are all on a closed system, so hacking or manipulating totals isn’t possible.

Once polls close, the images taken

Though the process of collecting the ballots takes weeks, initial results are usually available within 15 minutes. This stage of the process is also monitored by election judges from different parties.

Despite an average of 12,000 ballots being processed daily at the center, the atmosphere is surprisingly calm. About 30 employees and judges smile as they “deal” envelopes, carry trays of ballots and finish the afternoon’s work. Four days from now, Klotz said, the environment will be a little different when 52 staff members will work to calculate and report returns as quickly as possible.

“You should see it (on Tuesday,)” he said. “This place is going to be packed.”

controversy among teachers, principals and district officials since its implementation in 2012.

District officials say the system not only recognizes hard work and excellence in a fair manner, it also attracts and retains more talented teachers and makes it easier to hire teachers for hardto-fill positions.

But many teachers and principals strongly disagree. They say it pits teachers in competition against each other, requires hours of time teachers don’t have to complete evaluations that determine raises, creates inequity in pay and has contributed to a level of dissatisfaction that has driven teachers to leave the district in increasingly large numbers.

Jerry Goings, principal of Highlands Ranch High School for 10 years and educator for 32 years until retiring in 2015, believes the pay system and how teachers are evaluated have been the biggest issues affecting teacher morale.

“It caused so many inequities and issues within the system,” Goings said. “As principals, we had a hard time defending the way we were evaluating and, thus, impacting the pay of our teachers.

There are so many examples of issues that go into that, let alone paying a firstgrade teacher more than a second-grade teacher.”

How market pay works Most school districts have a traditional step-and-lane system, in which school district employees are hired and paid based primarily on longevity and their educational background. Douglas County did, too, until the conservativeleaning school board and Fagen introduced a market-based pay system in 2012, the same year longstanding ties with the teachers’ union were severed.

The system, district officials say, takes a wider picture of not only a candidate’s education, experience and skill, but also supply and demand of the position, to determine pay. That means teachers of harder-to-fill subjects like science and math are paid at a higher rate than those of easier-to-fill subjects, such as English or social studies. The district evaluates the salary bands several times a year so it can adjust the scale to help find candidates the district needs.

In addition, raises are offered yearly based on effectiveness ratings ranging from highly effective to ineffective rather than on tenure and level of education.

In DCSD, more than 70 positions are differentiated into five pay bands based on demand and rarity of skill.

For the 2016-17 school year, salaries range from $36,000 to $67,000 in the first band for subjects such as physi-

cal education, social studies and upper elementary grades. In the highest band, salaries range from $48,000 to $94,000 for specialists like psychologists.

Benefits of market pay School district officials maintain that offering different levels of pay based on subject — what they say reflects market economics of supply and demand — has helped recruit new teachers in hard-tofill subjects.

The district’s applicant-to-position ratio is 18-1 and the average starting salary for a new teacher is $40,000, said Brian Cesare, chief human resource officer for the district. The district has no set starting salary, and incoming teachers can negotiate their starting pay.

“It’s much better than it used to be when you were paying everybody the same,” Cesare said.

Cook agreed.

“When you are trying to find teachers that are qualified to teach things like automotive tech or cosmetology or fire science, it can really make a difference,” he said. “There is a big difference between a high school business teacher and a high school business teacher that is DECA-certified. That is the kind of flexibility that is very valuable in this system. It gives you the opportunity to zone in on exactly what the needs of the district are.”

An October 2015 report by Peter Groff of the Common Sense Policy Roundtable — a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank dedicated to the promotion of Colorado’s economy — praised the district’s market-based pay system for similar reasons.

“Opponents grouse that the system will send good teachers whose positions have been labeled as less important to other school districts, but the argument seems to offend the professionalism of those staff members who are hard workers,” wrote Groff, a Democrat who was former state Senate president and former head of the U.S. Department of Education’s faith-based initiatives center. “General practitioners don’t leave their hospitals or the profession because surgeons or anesthesiologists earn more than they do.”

on subject only, without considering talent or experience, negates a key component to good teaching.

In a column to the community posted on social media earlier this year, Goings criticized the system’s development as haphazard, rushed and based on little market analysis.

The problems became clear to administrators, who lobbied district officials unsuccessfully for a teacher survey for feedback, soon after its implementation in the fall of 2012, Goings said.

“It is complicated, it is subjective and confusing to work with,” he wrote of market pay, “and it is inequitable to staff.”

Because teachers coming into the district can negotiate a starting salary, the result is salaries of some teachers with less experience are greater than those of more veteran teachers.

“I had an outstanding special education teacher in my building with three years experience who questioned why a newly hired teacher with no experience was making $8,000 more,” Goings said.

Starting salaries in some of the bands are considerably less than the average starting salary of other school districts in the area — about $4,000 less for a second-grade teacher, for instance, Goings said.

And although level of education, such as master’s and doctoral degrees, are considered when negotiating salaries for new hires, current employees who earn those degrees receive no additional compensation, Goings said.

The district does offer teachers up to $2,000 per year in tuition reimbursement, according to Cesare, which he said could improve a teacher’s performance — thus earning him or her a larger raise if they reach the next performance level.

The bands also impose a value on

what is taught, some educators say.

A first-year, first-grade teacher in the second-level band makes $38,000. The salary for a first-year, second-grade teacher in the first-level band is $36,000.

“What can justify this obvious disparity?” Goings said. “The jobs require similar skills, carry similar responsibility and are equally important to the learning progress of a child.”

A new evaluation system Any raises to pay are tied directly to the district’s pay-for-performance system.

Teacher and principal evaluations are required in all Colorado school districts under 2010’s Senate Bill 191, also called the Educator Effectiveness Bill. Districts were allowed to adopt either the state’s teacher-evaluation program or create their own. DCSD is among six districts that designed its own.

Former Douglas County Board of Education president Kevin Larsen, who was on the board when the evaluation criteria and market salary system were implemented, said DCSD wanted to take a broader approach to using the new tool.

“Experience is generally going to make you better at your craft, and more education should translate, but a lot of studies have shown that just getting a master’s degree doesn’t necessarily produce the better teacher of a subject,” Larsen said. “The position of the board was that just getting those doesn’t automatically make you better at what you do. The idea is to find ways to measure what is happening and translating that experience and those skills into the kids learning better.”

evaulation tool has six components for measuring teacher effectiveness: outcomes, assessment, instruction, culture and climate, professionalism, and student data. Each of those categories contains a number of standards with a subset of criteria — totaling 31 in all — against which teachers are evaluated, according to the district website. The state’s evaluation tool, by comparison, has five quality standards with a number of subsets totaling 27.

Based on self-evaluations, evaluations by administrators and other factors, such as use of the district’s Guaranteed Viable Curriculum — which specifies what students need to know and be able to do — each teacher is rated highly effective, effective, partially effective or ineffective.

Mary Lee taught sixth grade at Copper Mesa Elementary School in Highlands Ranch and spent 10 years in the district.

She resigned in January because of what she described as philosophical differences with the district.

The evaluation system for teachers “does not truly weigh ability and gives no credit for the gifts and talents of teachers,” Lee said. “No one can fit talent into a little box. You can’t find it on the drop-down menus or check it off from a list. It comes from within and the only way to measure it is to watch it work. That’s not happening in Douglas County School District.”

Lee contends the process can turn teachers against one another as they try to differentiate themselves in evaluations tied to pay increases.

“They feel like they have to hoard their work,” she said. “If they create something great, they don’t typically share it with others because it is what they will be evaluated for and they have to be credited for something.”

The process, teachers say, is also incredibly time-consuming, forcing them to use valuable time to document their work rather than create and plan inspiring, meaningful lessons for students.

Ann Herrell worked in the district for 30 years and was a professional learning specialist at Flagstone Elementary in Castle Rock when she retired in June 2014. She now works as an independent contractor, coaching and training teachers nationwide.

“During my last two years working in DCSD, I was rated highly effective and then effective in the final year,” she said. “I chose not to attempt to be rated highly effective when the CITE criteria changed and were even more vague. It was not worth my time to enter the endless documentation it would have required.”

Some teachers also say the work is not worth a raise that they describe as minimal.

Howard Wolsky came to the classroom after more than 20 years in mortgage banking.

He taught social studies for a year at Sierra Middle School in Parker before leaving for a charter school in the Jefferson County School District at the end of 2014. The logic of using a business model for pay in a school district poses problems, he said.

“I came to education from 23 years in business and fully comprehend pay for performance,” Wolsky said. “However, if someone in another industry

proves themselves to be a valuable resource in the business world, (the business) does not usually look to replace them with someone less experienced and less expensive. Companies value top production and reward it with top-of-the-scale compensation. DCSD can talk about their highly proficient tier, but that pay is nominally better.”

A look down the road Last November, Douglas County residents elected three new board members who campaigned in opposition to the seven-member board that had led the district since 2011 with a unified, conservative-minded reform approach. Although the board tends to split 4-3 in favor of the reform majority, philosophical differences are apparent in debates over issues before it.

Whether those differences — along with the departure of Fagen, who spearheaded the development of the initiatives and is leaving for the superintendent position in Humble, Texas — will affect market pay and the pay-for-performance evaluation metric remains to be seen.

In Jefferson County, the election of a new school board in November that opposed the previous conservative-minded board resulted in a return from a short-lived pay-forperformance model similar to Douglas County’s to its previous grid-like, step-and-lane system based on longevity and education, but with the significant addition of a pay-for-performance evaluation component. The change in direction was part of a five-year contract recently negotiated between Jeffco district and teachers’ union officials.

But some Douglas County board members said they did not expect any changes to the pay-for-performance system.

“I do expect continued, ongoing review and adjustment to the system going forward, as has been happening in the past, and is happening now,” board vice president Judith Reynolds said. “I support pay for performance and the continued efforts to improve the system.”

Board president Meghann Silverthorn agreed.

“Performance pay has been part of the DCSD compensation package for over two decades,” she said. “I don’t see this changing with a new superintendent.”

The school district began incorporating aspects of performance-based pay, such as goal-setting and professional development programs, in 1992 — with the support of the now-sidelined teachers’ union.

Silverthorn, however, said she is open to looking at how to improve the teacher-evaluation portion of the system.

“I’d like for the evaluation system to reach the point where principals have, in principle and in practice, the autonomy and flexibility to rate their teachers in a resultsoriented manner,” Silverthorn said. “We are working this summer to ensure that principals — those who know their teachers — are able to evaluate them without intrusive thirdparty interference. We must work with our school leaders to ensure that they are entrusted with the autonomy to evaluate and place their teachers.”

Board member David Ray, one of the newly elected members and a retired DCSD principal, said he also doesn’t foresee an immediate change to the pay-for-performance system.

How ratings and raises are connected

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com District officials say the evaluation system allows teachers to take their pay into their own hands and incentivizes them by rewarding effort and excellent work.

But some teachers say the raises are marginal in comparison to other districts.

Teachers earn raises every year they are rated highly effective, effective or partially effective. For the 2015-16 school year, teachers rated highly effective earned a raise of 3.5 to 4.5 percent. Teachers evaluated as effective received a raise of 2.3 to 3.3 percent.

Partially effective teachers earned between 1 and 1.4 percent.

The difference in the amount of raise reflects a first, middle and third tier in each category that is tied to the overall point rating of the teacher.

Teachers rated highly effective receive an incremental raise as a percent increase of their salary. Raises for teachers rated effective or partially effective are given as a onetime lump sum only.

Teachers who are rated highly effective may also choose to submit evidence and work to be evaluated for each of the district’s nine-world class outcomes, which are rigorous outcomes based on the Colorado Academic Standards and require higher-level

“

thinking. The names of each submission are redacted and a panel of teachers and administrators decide on a case-by-case basis if the application is worthy of an additional $500-per-outcome bonus.

Teachers rated ineffective do not receive raises, but are provided with feedback and resources to improve, said Brian Cesare, the district’s chief human resource officer.

The district has no cap on the number of raises or amount a teacher could continue to earn over the years, district officials said.

“We have people in the lowest band making $90,000 per year,” Cesare said.

But at some point, Cesare said, the district might have to consider capping salaries at $100,000 because the money for salaries is contingent on state dollars and varies each year.

Some teachers have said — and at least one principal has told his staff — that the district maintains a cap on the number of teachers who can be rated highly effective.

The district refutes these claims.

“Last year we had 20.4 percent of people highly effective,” Cesare said. The district has 3,362 teachers. “This is preliminary, and we don’t have the final numbers, but the early data shows that it is at 26 percent for this year (2015-16). So, it’s all criteria based.

There is no forced distribution or anything like that.”

I had an outstanding special education teacher in my building with three years experience who questioned why a newly hired teacher with no experience was making $8,000 more,”

is one of the most contentious issues for our teachers, a change has to be considered regardless of who is the superintendent,” Ray said. “The resolution to authentically and meaningfully survey our staff is scheduled to be conducted at the beginning of the school year. My hope is that this feedback will be the catalyst to overhaul our evaluation process to decrease the unacceptable percentage of staff turnover.”

As for the market pay structure, Reynolds said it has been positive for the district.

“I do believe there is benefit in differentiating jobs based on a number of factors, with scarcity being the most important of those. It is my understanding that it has been a successful strategy for filling more of the most difficult-to-fill positions,” Reynolds said. “Market-based pay and differentiation between jobs does not mean one educator is valued less than an-

other, it is simply a reflection of how many other individuals are competing for that position.”

Board member Doug Benevento, however, seemed to acknowledge a need for higher pay when he recently announced he will propose a tax increase at the July 19 board meeting to help raise salaries for teachers. He has asked district Chief Financial Officer Bonnie Betts to compile data on mill levies and teacher salaries of eight districts similar to DCSD. “Based upon what I saw in those districts,” he said, “the tax increase would be for a ($28.9) million mill levy override to increase our teachers’ salaries to the average plus-1 percent.”

But Ray, a staunch opponent of market-based pay, believes it should be replaced entirely by a salary schedule “that rewards classroom experience, positive student growth, and attainment of advanced training and

education.”

Performance pay, he said, should be included as a bonus tier that compensates outstanding performance, taking on extra responsibility and achieving collaborative goals with other colleagues.

“Our current system compensates teachers based on the number of applicants there are for a specific position.

Third-, fourth- and fifth-grade teachers are paid less because there are more applicants for these positions,” Ray said. “Just because we have 100 applicants for third grade versus five applicants for first grade has nothing to do with whether our current third- and firstgrade teachers should be paid differently. Teachers should be paid based on their experience, skills and performance, not on whether their position has more or less applicants in the candidate pool.”

$100,000 of assessed value or about $302.68 annually for an average homeowner, according to the district.

Board member David ray said he appreciates Benevento’s willingness to support a tax initiative that will improve teachers’ compensation.

“This would certainly be a step in the right direction for reversing our high rate of teacher turnover,” Ray said.

Board Vice President Judith Reynolds said she has not made a decision about the proposed tax increase since there has been no board discussion on the issue.

BOE President Meghann Silverthorn said she would need to see an analysis of the plan’s impact to Douglas County voters before making a decision on the matter.

“I’m disinclined to support tax increases in this fiscal environment,” Silverthorn said. “However, as the board liaison to the

long-range planning committee, I’m aware that the district has many capital needs that must be addressed. The state of Colorado provides no capital funding for school districts, so we must raise the funds ourselves, which can be a challenge.”

The group community group Douglas County Parents said it “recognizes the need for funding to address capital needs and to pay teachers competitively.”

“Capital needs have grown considerably in recent years and DCSD wages are significantly less than neighboring districts,” Jason Virdin of Douglas County Parents said. “We would like to see these issues corrected. The district has conducted a survey to gauge the likelihood of a MLO and bond passing. This is a prudent measure and we look forward to the presentation of the results.

Without knowing the results of the survey or the details of Director Benevento’s MLO and bond proposal, it is difficult to determine the level of support at this time.”

Benevento acknowledged tax increases have not traditionally been popular in Douglas County.

Ask yourself: What’s the good word?

There are so many people who enjoy a good crossword puzzle, word search puzzle or unscrambling a word jumble. There are many folks who love a good play on words, an anagram, a pun or a great riddle. These word games and puzzles help keep our minds sharp and our creativity flowing.

As we know, words are extremely powerful. They can be powerfully positive and energizing or they can be powerfully destructive and hurtful. Words can be factual to help transfer knowledge and information or they can be used to mislead or manipulate situations and people.

There so many events happening in our own backyard as well as around the globe that leave people thinking about powerfully negative words. We hear people using powerfully negative words like fear, terror, frustration, anger, rage, road rage, hopelessness, doubt, worry, anxiety, cynical, hate, mad, racism, revenge and others that are equally as negative or damaging when we dwell on them or let them change who we are or how we treat other people, especially people closest to us.

Obviously we all deal with very real and difficult situations and sometimes those powerfully negative words are just expressing very real feelings, I totally get that and understand how that can sometimes happen.

Yet in a world filled with uncertainty and change, we need to take the time to refuel our minds and our hearts with those power-

fully positive words. We need to be deliberate in thinking beyond the fear, doubt and worry and instead focus our thoughts on the good, the possible and the hope for a better and brighter tomorrow.

Sounds too simple, doesn’t it, maybe even a little naïve? Maybe Michael Norton so, but stay with me WINNING on this and just try it.

Make a list of all the WORDS positive and powerful words that you can think of, words that you may already have committed to your own personal word bank. Keep this list in a visible place, place copies of the lists around your house, your office, your car. Share the lists or even one word at a time with your family, your friends or your co-workers — even when, or especially when, they are using their own negative word banks.

I like to leave one-word notes around the house or send one-word texts or emails from time to time. I just simply write or type words like faith, love, hope, encouragement, kindness, truth, happiness, thanks, blessings, appreciated, grateful, forgiveness, success, opportunity, commitment, passion, purpose, XOXO, belief, special, goodness, sunshine, excellence, fantastic, joy, flourish-

ing, achievement, accomplishment, driven or any other powerfully positive words that may come into my mind. I write them down and put them in a visible place, or sometimes a hidden place where they can be found later. Or I quickly type it out and hit send.

The initial thought may be that I am doing this for the benefit of others, those who receive my encouraging words. But the reality is this, I am the biggest beneficiary of constantly, and consistently, using and sharing these very powerful and positive words each and every time I write them down, type them out, or allow myself to be deliberate in my thoughts. If we are not deliberate in thinking about the good, the possible and the hope for a better tomorrow, it’s just too easy to go along for the ride on the rollercoaster of negativity, up one side of a big problem and down the other side into the valley.

So how about you? What are your favorite words or what are those powerfully positive words you use to recharge your positive attitude and belief in the good and the possible?

I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we use the right words and the right time, it really will be a better than good week.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Mall not bringing what was promised Feeling duped? Over the past year, we have all witnessed the progress of the Promenade at Castle Rock at the expense of our “small-town” feel. On a personal level, I am bothered by our diminishing landscapes and the obstructed views from I-25 that were truly the “signature,” unique and irreplaceable features that drew people to our town.

What’s done is done. But what do we get in exchange?

Alberta Development promoted the Promenade as a gathering place for “upscale shopping and dining” to draw shoppers from neighboring cities to bring money to Castle Rock. It was literally described as “a premium mall with high fashion tenants.” When I go the Promenade website, however, the anchor and major stores listed include: Sam’s Club, TJ Maxx, Petco and King Soopers. Restaurants include: Tokyo Joe’s, Mod Pizza, Jersey Mike’s, Kneaders, etc. Are any of these even close to “upscale”?

There is a town called Downey located in California. I stumbled upon it trying to find out what other stores would be leasing at the Promenade at Castle Rock. They (Downey residents) were also promised “upscale shopping” to their community by a developer. Eric Pierce, a reporter for the Downey Press Tribune, reported, “The mayor confirmed what was Downey’s worst-kept secret, Walmart will be the anchor store for the new shopping center.”

Downey citizens are feeling duped, saying, “We were literally promised a Nordstrom and got handed a Walmart.”

The name of this shopping center is Promenade at Downey, developed by Alberta. Sound familiar?

Feeling duped.

Reaction to Philadelphia’s tax on soda is a big gulp Writer’s block is a myth, unless you are a writer. I mean a real writer. A writer of books. Books are marathons.

Laura Hillenbrand holed up for a year to write “Seabiscuit: An American Legend.”

Then what? The pressure is on to do it again.

That’s not for me. I write the equivalent of a 50-meter dash three or four or five times a week.

Then one is chosen for publication.

I sometimes wish you could see what isn’t chosen. My editor is wiser than I am, and knows that I might shutter the paper with some of my ideas.

I read the news and watch the news and pluck.

There were so many topics today that I wrote them on cards and threw them in the air.

One landed face up.

It wasn’t the one with “Orlando” written on it. Or the Broncos’ off-season theme song, “Show Me the Money.”

It had “Philadelphia soda tax” on it.

Philadelphia has decided to tax sodas at a rate of 1.5 cents per ounce. A 12-ounce can or bottle will be taxed 18 cents.

Taxing sodas will generate about $90 million. It will go to good causes, to pay for preCraig Marshall Smith kindergarten, for example.

QUIET I never went to DESPERATION kindergarten.

I was home-crayoned.

The reason why I wrote “Philadelphia soda tax” on a card in the first place is because I drink the stuff.

The tax is intended to cut down on the consumption of sugary drinks.

Results of overtime rule might contain irony The most important thing to know about the Obama administration’s new overtime rule is that it has now disrupted or voided the arrangements 73,000 Coloradans had with their employers.

Arrangements, mutually beneficial to employer and employee alike, that accommodated individual lifestyles, family commitments and emergency needs.

Wonderful.

Vernors ginger ale was available only in Michigan at one time. We would buy it fountain-fresh on the way home from my grandmother’s house near Flint. It was nectar, and I was hooked on soda.

I have cut back on my non-sugary, sugary drink. Water seems like a good option.

As you might guess, sugary drink manufacturers are not happy about this development in Philadelphia.

But what if the soda doesn’t contain sugar? Then it becomes a question of what is and isn’t a soda.

These criminals tend to target vehicles that have valuables in plain sight, such as a purse or cell phone on the seat. They have been stealing vehicles if keys are left inside and are known to target unlocked vehicles or open garages, the sheriff’s office said.

These crimes typically occur at night but the sheriff’s office has received reports during the day.

These criminals can be violent, the sheriff’s office says, and may be armed.

The sheriff’s office is urging residents to be diligent in removing valuables from vehicles, locking vehicles and closing garage doors.

supervisory, managerial or administrative duties, are currently exempt from overtime pay after a $23,660-ayear threshold. The threshold increases to $47,476 on Dec. 1, and it needs no congressional approval to take effect.

Tony Gagliardi If you think this GUEST increase only fair, think again.

COLUMN “Entry-level management positions are going to disappear, and those employees will fall back to hourly jobs,” said Juanita Duggan, president and CEO of the National Federation of Independent Business.

“Obviously, that means higher costs for millions of small businesses regardless of whether they’re making more sales, generating more revenue or dealing with other rising expenses. Many are struggling now, and they’ll have to make tough choices that might affect the very same workers the Department of Labor thinks

it’s helping.”

Added NFIB’s senior legal counsel, Beth Milito: “Struggling small-business owners can’t afford to pay more in overtime pay just because the Department of Labor says they should. Businesses can only afford more in payroll if they increase revenue, something the government is powerless to make happen. Most small-business owners will have to limit employees’ hours and career opportunities.”

But then, Duggan and Milito would say that, wouldn’t they? That is the tone taken by The New York Times in an editorial praising the new overtime rule.

“They (employer groups) have said that employers will cut base pay if forced to pay overtime, but that appears to be an idle threat.”

Had, however, the Times editorial board read more than its section that day, it would have come across a story by their reporter, Sarah Max, who analyzed the options available to employers: “They (employers) could even cut the base salaries of those who regularly work more than 40 hours ...”

Across the political divide from the Times, The Wall Street Journal put it right

on the money: “The irony is that salaried workers will enjoy less personal flexibility once they have to record their hours, and those who become hourly wage hands will receive even less.”

Indeed, as business owner Kelli Glasser put it in Max’s Times report, “If somebody needs to pick up a sick kid or go to a doctor’s appointment, we let them do it because we know that at some point they’ll make up for it. Once you start tracking hours, all that changes.” Added businessman Lior Rachmany in the same article, “I think you get a better product when people are paid a salary. When a person knows there is a task to get done, it will get done, not on the clock.”

Rachmany, reports Max, “said he would probably end up hiring more entry-level employees and minimizing overtime pay for his affected salaried employees.”

Finding real-life portrayers for DOL’s overtime script after Dec. 1 will be a most difficult casting call. Watch for Sam and Mattie the sequel.

doubt, rather than focusing on the evil that exists in this world and wishes to do us great harm, while developing a plan to extinguish it.

Threats are downplayed to placate our fears, but they’re empty assurances. This is an evil that’ll find a way to kill and maim regardless of the tools they’re provided. To say it was too easy for the cowardly killer to acquire guns is moot, when you consider he’d have crafted a deadly weapon

from toothpicks, duct tape and bubblegum given enough time, perseverance and resolution — which the evildoers are in no short supply of.

The cowardly act was an attack on all Americans, regardless of beliefs, lifestyle or sexuality. Their organization is weak, their methods crude and their training inferior, yet they continue to erode our nation, and we’re helping them do so at every turn. We’re strongest when we unite

against common threats and address our challenges aggressively.

War isn’t won with tolerance, openmindedness and love ... It’s won with ruthless resolve and brutal determination, with a higher intensity than our enemy. If we don’t take the fight to them, they’ll take it to us. And they’re already here.

Carbonation might be the difference between a soda and other sweetened beverages.

More than 68 percent of the adults in Philadelphia are overweight or obese, so there are understandable concerns about the causes.

Sodas aren’t the only villains.

A Philadelphia cheesesteak sandwich contains 620 calories or more.

I did some checking. The smallest soda offered at a Philadelphia Phillies game, 20 ounces, is $4.

(The smallest soda offered at a Los Angeles Dodgers game, 24 ounces, is $6.)

That means that a Citizens Bank Park soda will go up by 30 cents, at least.

Why point the finger at soft drinks?

What about pie?

What about cake and ice cream? Candy and cookies and doughnuts? Breakfast cereals?

Someone said, “Soda is the tobacco of the 21st century.”

There were ways around Prohibition.

There will be ways around this too.

A soda underground will bubble up in

Philadelphia.

Families will head to Upper Darby to load up on Squirt.

I had a dream that I drowned in an ocean of orange soda, but it turned out to be a Fanta sea.

Imagine Rodney Dangerfield, tugging

on his tie. “I’m telling you. This new tax.

It’s soda pressing.”

“Many of the crimes being reported are crimes of opportunity and could have been avoided had some precautions been taken,” the media release says.

“Don’t let the criminals go shopping in your car,” Sheriff Tony Spurlock said.

CULTURE FA I T H FA M I L Y FOOD HEALTH

Old-fashioned approach Players in local food movement return to healthier connection

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com

A

s the locally produced and grown food movement continues to gain traction in Colorado, bison rancher Neil Fischer wants to make it easier for residents to buy meat directly from ranchers.

“We looked at the landscape of organically and sustainably raised food and there is not great access from the farm to the consumer,” Fischer said.

That’s why in 2014 he and his wife, Teresa, launched The Farm2Table LLC Trading Post, a network of farmers, ranchers, local artisans and locals who buy direct. The model offers direct consumer distribution through an online marketplace — www.farm2tabletradingpost.com — and a year-round mobile market.

The mobile market is in Parker inside the Parker Garage restaurant on Mainstreet from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m on Sundays and in Castle Rock in front of Briccy’s Coffee on Wilcox Street from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Thursdays. Fischer hopes to expand the Parker market to three days a week over the summer.

The Castle Rock market opened in May and resident Monika Wilmer couldn’t be happier.

“It’s fresh meat, fresh food and I just love it,” said Wilmer, who tries to buy chicken and farm-fresh eggs every week.

“There’s something about chickens straight from the farm.”

Wilmer moved to the U.S. from Poland 10 years ago and had been searching for farm-fresh meat and produce to help combat stomach problems she recently developed.

“Since I came to America, my stomach stared freaking out,” she said. “So I started reading labels and found out there’s sugar in everything we eat.”

Fischer said Wilmer’s story is not unique.

“There’s such a disconnect today for people and their foods,” he said. “With the increase of obesity, diabetes and many different forms of food allergies in kids today, people are asking `why?’ If it’s not in what we’re eating in commercial food, then what is it? People are looking to know the source of their food to know what the ingredients are.”

Fischer’s solution to eating healthier is knowing your farmer. Marcus McCauley, of the McCauley Family Farm in Longmont, supports that notion, too.

“There’s no certification that can substitute for knowing your farmer and who is growing your food,” said McCauley, whose farm grows fresh produce and raises chickens. “And that’s what the local food movement really recognizes and embraces.”

One distributor who is embracing the local movement is CharcutNuvo, a premium sausage manufacturer owned by fourth-generation Swiss sausage master Eric Cutknecht. The Denver-based company makes sausage in natural casings from premium cuts of meat, including beef, bison, elk, “jackalope” (rabbit, pork

and antelope) and wild boar.

The proteins are sourced within 500 miles of Denver and are humanely and sustainably raised on family farms, Roelke said. Fruits and vegetables used in the sausage are organic. No nitrates or chemicals are used.

“Sausage has always had a stigma, but transparency is one of our core values,” said John Roelke, sales manager for CharcutNuvo. “We want people to know what goes into their sausage. We think it’s really important for the health of our country that we don’t use chemicals.”

CharcutNuvo sausages can be found at Whole Foods, Costco and Biker Jim’s and, this year, their bratwurst and Polish sausage are featured at Coors Field. They also are sold at Fischer’s Trading Post.

The company’s way of making sausage is not new, Roelke said. Rather it’s bringing food back to the old days, which is what Fischer is targeting with the Trading Post.

“Part of the idea of us being a trading post is going back,” Fischer said. “Our way of raising food is not new, it’s very old. I want to make a point with kids today that this isn’t a new food movement, this is how our grandparents ate — no

processed foods.”

In the two years Farm2Table LLC Trading Post has been operating, it has grown from a dozen farms and ranches to more than 30 that contribute on a regular basis. All are from Colorado.

“We coordinated with different ranches to provide products, so it’s not just one person with 12 cows trying to feed the public,” Fischer said. The cooperative now carries more than 100 meat items. “There’s no one that has this collection of meat, and it’s because most of us don’t make enough to sell to a King Soopers.”

In addition to the online store and mobile marketplace, the cooperative recently started a monthly buyers club, which offers 10 different meat boxes, offering 100 shares of each box.

“I think at the end of the day a lot of people think this is really cool, but they haven’t changed their habits of just going to the grocery store and buying meats for food,” Fischer said. “So, until people vote with their dollar, not much is going to change in our food system. It’s the actual involvement of buying your groceries from the local family farm that makes all the difference.”

‘Incomplete is complete’ for visual artist A moment in time with painter Tadashi Hayakawa

TADASHI HAYAKAWA Tadashi Hayakawa, one of four children, was born in Tokyo in 1941 and began painting in elementary school. His father singled him out and insisted he pursue art because his own parents had forbidden him from doing so.

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com The painter sits in an armchair on a drop cloth spattered with drops of dark paint like a negative impression of a night sky. He stares at the canvas standing 10 feet before him, alternately squinting and relaxing his eyes, searching for his vision in the streaks and shapes of oil.

Suddenly, all in one motion, he stands and strides forward. His brush, already in his outstretched hand, pulls him to the canvas as an excited child pulls a parent along a sidewalk to show them some new and fascinating thing.

The brushstrokes come in quick, noisy bursts, shaking the tripod that holds the work in place. The sound of bristles scraping against the canvas, like a cat scratching at a door, drowns out the noise from the world outside the studio.

Once every minute, he takes four steps back, looking intently at the section of the piece he’s just worked on, and looking ahead to the area he’ll go next. After a few seconds, he retraces his steps exactly back to the canvas.

An unseen yet tangible connection exists between Tadashi Hayakawa and his work — a tether that pulls him back each time he drifts away.

Streaks, swirls and lines spread across the piece like barely-formed storm clouds, pushed and dragged along by

After graduating with a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Otis Art Institute in 1969, Hayakawa became a graphic artist. He made good money, but the work left him unfulfilled.

“I realized that if I died today, I wouldn’t know why I was born,” he says, “because I wasn’t happy with what I was doing.”

In 1992, he divorced and quit working as a graphic artist to seriously pursue fine art.

“My financial situation decreased but my happiness increased,” he says.

Tadashi Hayakawa focuses on his work at the Deep Space Gallery in Parker. Hayakawa hosts an informal painting session each Monday in the building where other budding artists are welcome to work and collaborate. Photo by Tom Skelley a divine hand. The process — retreating, returning, swiping and stroking the brush, creating forms and lines out of a glob of paint — repeats itself again and again for more than an hour.

The final time he steps away from the canvas his face changes from squinting skepticism to a wide-eyed smile.

“Ah,” bursts from his lips. He knows the work is finished.

“To me this one is done. I have just expressed the excitement of being alive,” he says, bringing his arms to his chest then raising them into the air as he says the words.

Irish Festival features food, music and fun

He is asked how he knows when a painting is completed.

He closes his eyes as he speaks, then slowly, deliberately, explains the unfinished quality of his work.

“Many artists explain every brushstroke, but this doesn’t leave any breathing room for the imagination,” he says.

He paraphrases Einstein, who once said “imagination is more important than knowledge.”

“In art, imagination is more important than technique,” he says.

“For me, incomplete is complete.”

Health problems led to a premonition in 2006 and, fearing he didn’t have many years left, Hayakawa put all of his energy into a large exhibit, his first major show, in 2011.

“A miracle” happened after that exhibit, he says.

“Suddenly, I became so relaxed and so happy.

Now every day is happy.”

Hayakawa feels like he is “living on bonus time,” and his art is an expression of gratitude.

“Basically, my art is an expression of my appreciation for being alive, my belief in peace, harmony and love.”

Hayakawa holds an open painting session every Monday at the Deep Space Workplace and Event Center. The informal session is open to six people per week for a $10 fee and an RSVP is required.

of vitamin C, it’s a good source of folate, especially important for women of childbearing age, as well as potassium, a vital mineral which helps nerves and muscles communicate and can help offset the effects of too much sodium in the diet. In fact, the FDA recently announced it will add potassium to the Nutrition Facts Panel because many Americans are falling short.

The benefits don’t stop there, though. A glass of 100 percent orange juice also delivers magnesium, vitamin A and niacin. Plus, it’s a significant source of hesperidin, an antioxidant that research suggests may have heart, blood pressure and cognition benefits, as well as reduce inflammation and oxidation. Furthermore, one glass counts as one serving (1 cup) of fruit to help you meet the 1.5-2 cups per day recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

S

ugars are one of the most important health conversations today.

A diet filled with too many added sugars is associated with weight gain, type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

According to the 2005-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the average American consumes an average of 20 teaspoons a day, significantly more than the 6-9 teaspoons recommended daily by the American Heart Association.

Sugar can mean different things to different people, which not only adds to the confusion, but can quickly derail even your best intentions as you try to make the right choices for your family.

The difference between added and naturally occurring sugars Many nourishing foods such as fruits, vegetables, certain whole grains and dairy products contain what are known as naturally occurring sugars; these are simple carbohydrates that are naturally present in a food’s biological structure. For example, the lactose found in milk is a sugar, as is the fructose in fruit.

In contrast, added sugars are those sugars or sweeteners you add in your kitchen - adding sugar or honey to a recipe or onto your breakfast cereal, for example - as well as sugars and sweeteners that are added to a variety of products by food manufacturers. Added sugars are often used to enhance taste and flavor, of course, but can also be included for other reasons, such as to prevent spoiling - think summer jams - or assist in fermentation, such as in baking.

“Working with the Florida Department of Citrus, I’ve seen firsthand how much confusion there is around this

An 8-ounce glass of 100 percent orange juice, for instance, has no added sugar. Beyond being an excellent source

How much added sugar is too much?

A delicious, vibrant eating plan that you can stick with for the long haul doesn’t mean you can’t ever consume added sugar, but it is about cutting back for most Americans - especially for groups with the highest intakes, such as adolescents and men - and replacing those calories with nutrient-rich foods.

The most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting added sugar intake to a maximum of 10 percent of total calories each day, or 200 calories of a 2,000 calorie diet, which matches guidelines from the World Health Organization and the American Heart Association.

For best results, focus on filling your diet with an abundance of naturally nutrient-rich foods and shift to a diet that includes plenty of plant foods. For more recipes using Florida orange juice, visit floridacitrus.org.

‘On the Road’ exhibit carries viewers away Depot Art Gallery in Littleton houses display until July 31

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Best of Show in the new Depot Art Gallery exhibit “On the Road,” is Jennifer Riefenberg’s small pastel painting, “Road Grader.”

Juror Chris Ilitis chose a colorful, appealing work that is about the basics of building or maintaining a road as his first choice, then went on to other vacation memories in the exhibit that will be at the Depot in Littleton until July 31.

“Painterly Pickup,” a shiny manipulated photo

by Peggy Dietz, won the blue First Place ribbon.

Second Place went to oil painter Sheila Marie for her “Torry Casa,” and photographer Joe Bonita’s charming “Najac, French Country Town” took Third Place. Watercolorist Jane Wing won an Honorable Mention for her delicate “Disappearing Road.”

During a short visit, imagination can carry the viewer from Colorado’s mountains, lakes and canyons to a weathered farm in Walsenburg — in the subdued colors one sees there.

Where do they lead a walker? Perhaps to small plazas with a bubbling fountain, potted geraniums and laundry blowing in the breeze outside upstairs windows.

A Venetian gondola awaits passengers and a street market awaits shoppers …

A selection of pottery, jewelry and small unframed artworks is always available for gift buyers. A really imaginative, one-of-a-kind doll, “Girl With a Monkey,” by Julie Anderson, would interest a collector and small pottery items might be useful for outdoor summer entertaining that Coloradans enjoy on balmy summer evenings.

What they do Does your BMW need some TLC? The guys at Motospa will treat it like their own. Motospa’s menu of services is remarkable: detailing, oil changes, differential repair, belt and hose replacement, auto glass installation, and full-service car washes that leave the car with vacuumed carpets and cleaned-out cupholders. Guests can chill out in the swank lobby with popcorn and coffee, and peruse the products of Castle Rock’s only Weathertech dealer. Don’t need the whole shebang? Try the fast-pass drivethru car wash.

History Owner Scott Megan started Motospa in 2006, seeking to connect Castle Rock drivers with a service worthy of their cars. Though many people look at Motospa’s gleaming and immaculate facilities and assume it’s part of a big chain, it’s still independently owned and operated.

Motospa offers unlimited car washes starting at $30 a month – worth it just to hang out in the lobby.

Bikes Continued from Page 1

Onda and Brown were two of 150 Castle Rock riders who participated June 22 in the state’s annual Bike to Work Day, held to spotlight the importance of reducing congestion and pollution by encouraging people to cycle to jobs and destinations.

Bike to Work Day for the rest of the nation is in May. But because of Colorado’s unpredictable weather, it is held here the third Wednesday in June.

Towns throughout the state organized stations and hubs to provide food, a chance to rest and socialize with other community members. As of noon June 22, almost 19,000 people had registered statewide.

The Castle Rock station expected 150 registries to pass through its station, event organizer and coordinator Megan Bednar said.

“Castle Rock’s participation has dated back eight to 10 years,” she said. “This is all made possible by a whole bunch of businesses here in town.”

Lost Coffee, Elements Massage, Red Hawk Golf Course and Castle Rock Adventist Hospital were among businesses that donated food, drinks, prizes and free items, including recycled water bottles from Project Green, an eco-friendly organization in town.

Rich Havel, the town’s trails and paths planner, sat at a table handing out trail maps and information about the expan-

“This is the central location for the Castle Rock Bike to Work Day,” said Havel, who manages the construction, design and maintenance of the trails. “It has been for years.”

Festival Park lies right in the middle of the main bike and walking path in Castle Rock, the East Plum Creek Trail.

“This event supports people getting out and using bicycle transportation, versus people jumping in their cars,” Havel said.

Overcast skies might have kept some cyclists from hitting the trail, Bednar said, but the event attendance has remained steady and strong throughout the past years.

Said Bednar: “It’s a great event for families, kids and adults.”

John Conger is a 2016 graduate of Castle View High School in Castle Rock who is attending the journalism program at University of Colorado-Boulder.

Children’s book stems from father’s message Wind Crest concierge was inspired by holiday sermon Staff report Debbie Brewer Binkley, a Highlands Ranch resident and concierge at the Wind Crest retirement community, has published her first children’s book, called “Brown Paper and a Piece of String.”

Set in the 1930s, it was inspired by a message that her pastor father, Dr. Fred V. Brewer, preached every year from 1955 until his last Christmas in 2010.

“Brown paper is so plain, not used for special occasions. In fact, it was used for everyday ordinary things—to carry purchases from the general store and to wrap messy garbage like old coffee grounds.

It sometimes ended up in the compost heap to help with the decomposition process.

“So why is there a brown paper package sitting under the Christmas tree with all the beautiful packages wrapped in fine, colorful paper and ribbon? Frankie was intrigued. Little did he know the importance of the plain brown paper package and he was horrified when he discovered its recipient …”

Brinkley has been involved in children’s ministry in Texas, Hawaii, California, Virginia and Colorado. Together with her husband, Verle Binkley, she recently started Binks Books LLC “to share with others God’s wonderful gifts of hope and life.”

She and her husband of 46 years have three adult children and two grandchildren.

The illustrations are by Alabama resident J. Gail Aldridge, and are created with chalk and colored pencil as a tribute to the author’s mother, who was an accomplished chalk artist and illustrator.

The Castle Rock Half Marathon starts off at Fourth and Pearl streets. This marks the fourth anniversary for the race. Photos by Conner Davis

Full effort for half marathon Castle Rock event draws hundreds

By Conner Davis Special to Colorado Community Media Hundreds of runners participated in the fourth annual Castle Rock Half Marathon.

On June 27, more than 150 runners competed in the half marathon, and more than 50 more took part in the 5-mile

race and rock challenge, a grueling run up the iconic Castle Rock landmark.

Mario Macias, a Colorado Springs resident, won the half marathon with a time of 1:10:30, just under eight minutes over his personal record of 1:02:50.

“I enjoy (running),” he said. “It’s always good to go out there and stay in shape and it’s good to push yourself, to see how fast and how far you can go. Especially the older you get, it’s good to

come out here and compete against runners 15 years younger.”

The winner of the 5-mile race was Ethan Mines. The 18-year-old has been running cross country since he was a freshman. He was on vacation with his family from Florida and decided to do a race while here.

“I honestly don’t know my favorite part of running, but I run for fitness, for fun and for the glory of God,” Mines said.

Matt Gropp, a Denver native, throws up two thumbs as he crosses the finish line.

Valor grad nearly claims match-play title Josh Seiple’s rally in Lone Tree falls just short

THE RESULTS

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Results for local golfers for the final three rounds in the Colorado Golf Association’s Match Play Championship, which concluded June 14 at Lone Tree Golf Club.

Josh Seiple played his best golf at the end, but it still wasn’t good enough to overcome a slow start.

Seiple, from Castle Pines Golf Club, overcame a 4-up disadvantage after the first 18-holes of the 36-hole final of the Colorado Golf Association’s Match Play Championship at the Lone Tree Golf Club.

However, he was edged, 1-up, by Nathaniel Goddard, of Ptarmigan Golf Club in Fort Collins, on June 24 in the 116th title match of the CGA’s oldest tournament.

“In the morning I just didn’t have my stuff,” said the 20-year-old Seiple, a graduate of Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch. “Nathaniel had his, and I just kind of brought some more energy...

I was close, played well in the afternoon, but it wasn’t good enough.”

Seiple, who had double hip surgery last August and got a medical redshirt at the University of Mississippi for his sophomore season, never led during the finals after carding a 75 during the first 18 holes.

He rallied to make it a close match during the afternoon round, which also included a two-hour rain delay.

“After that little hour break between matches, I birdied the first two holes coming out,” he said. “I birdied the fifth after the rain delay so I just got off to a better

Quarterfinals Seiple, Castle Pines Golf Club, def. Chris Korte, Lone Tree Golf Club, 7 and 6; Goddard, Ptarmigan Country Club, def. Connor Klein, Lone Tree Golf Club, 1 up; Staiano, Glenmoor Country Club, Def. Hayden Nicholaides, Family Sports, 2 and 1.

Semifinals Seiple, Castle Pines Golf Club, def. Nick Nosewicz, Meadow Hills, 2 and 1. Goddard, Ptarmigan Country Club, def. Jake Staiano, Glenmoor Country Club, 2 and 1.

Josh Seiple, a 20-year-old Valor Christian graduate who plays out of Castle Pines Golf Club, rallied but was edged by Nathaniel Goddard of Ptarmigan Golf and County Club, 1-up, in the 36-hole finals of the Colorado Golf Association Match Play held June 24 at Lone Tree Golf Club. Seiple is coming off double hip surgery last August and got a redshirt medical hardship at the University of Mississippi and will be a sophomore on the golf team this fall. Photo by Jim Benton start. The momentum seemed to change a little bit in my favor.”

Seiple evened the match on the 14th hole.

Goddard, a 22-year-old graduate of Colorado Christian University who played on the Lakewood school’s back-to-back Christian University national championship teams, birdied No. 15, but Seiple once again tied the match with a nice up-

and-down birdie on the 16th hole.

Goddard’s approach shot on No. 17, set up a 6-foot birdie putt, which pushed him into a 1-up lead and then both players parred the 18th.

“He made an awesome putt on 15 and hit an awesome shot into 17 so props to him,” Seiple said. “I just couldn’t get over that hump. He kept the pressure on all day, he putted well and to do that is hard

to beat. I took myself out of it in the first match.

“I didn’t make a bogey on the last nine holes. I played my last 11 holes at 3-under.

I closed well. It was that morning match that took me out of it. This is about the fourth or fifth tournament back since the surgery. The past few tournaments I’ve started to get into contention. I wish I could have closed this one out but I’ve been there the last few tournaments.”

Bid for marathon bowling record derailed Todd Wessels was aiming for a Guinness record to help raise money for his son

By Tom Munds tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com An apparently unthinking and selfish action sabotaged Todd Wessels’ effort to break the Guinness world record for a 10pin bowling marathon.

Moe’s Original Bar B Que in Englewood donated the use of the lane and other support to Wessels’ effort, aimed at breaking the existing record of bowling 134 hours and 57 minutes straight — more than five days — and bowling more than 643 games.

Wessels, of Thornton, said he decided to do the bowling marathon as a way to bring attention to the needs of children like his son, who has a potentially life-threatening form of epilepsy, and to raise money to provide his son with a seizure-alert dog.

He said training a dog depends on how long it takes, and costs could range from about $5,000 to 10 times that amount.

His bid to set the world record ended when he was less than 15 hours from his goals.

“I was away from the lane on a break when someone who knew what I was trying to do bowled on my lane,” Wessels, 46, said. “I was heartbroken. I haven’t cried since my mother died, but I cried when I found out what happened.”

Wessels bowled a while longer after he knew his effort to break the record would

Todd Wessels prepares to throw a ball June 23 during his attempt to set a new world record for the number of hours and the number of games bowled. Photo by Tom Skelley not count — he was required to bowl at least five games an hour. Before the unauthorized bowler ended his effort the night of June 24, Wessels had bowled 703 games, exceeding the world record. But it doesn’t count because the marathon record is for hours and games at the same time.

He said the score didn’t mat-

ter and he threw a lot of gutter balls. His game scores ranged from a 206 to a 1.

“I hate the fact this happened, but it definitely was a learning experience,” he said. “I think I will try to break the record again later this year. I will tape off the area so someone can’t `accidentally’ bowl on my lane. I will hire someone as security. And I

will put up some banners to let everyone know what I am doing and why I am doing it.”

His fundraising effort was online through GoFundMe.com.

His specific project was called “A penny a frame.” The idea was to bowl about 7,500 frames, and he was asking for donations of $75 per person to go toward getting his son, Cameron, a dog.

When the record-breaking effort came to an end, Wessels began contacting those who had donated to the project, giving the opportunity to withdraw their support. He said most people said to keep the donations. The total collected was about $1,400.

He said he will still accept donations to help get his son the seizure-alert dog. For information on how to make a donation, call 720-670-7881 or go to the GoFundMe page.

Wessels brought his plan to break the world record to Moe’s, where he said the management opened the doors and the lane to him.

“It is awesome what he is doing and to have him do it on our bowling lanes,” said Moe’s general manager, Josh Alston, the afternoon of June 23. “The entire staff has embraced him and he has become part of the Moe’s family. He is doing this for a good cause. He is a very strong-willed individual battling through the struggles he has faced. We are doing all we can to help him get to the finish line.”

Wessels praised all that Moe’s has done for his project.

“Everyone here has really stepped up to help me anyway they can,” he said. “They let me stay here around the clock. They lock up the place at midnight

and leave me here with one other person so I can continue to bowl. They donate the use of the lanes and even donate the meals they provide for me and my family. I really appreciate what they are doing.”

The Guinness Book of World Records requires that at least two video cameras record an attempt at a record. Wessell said he looked at the video and saw the people who stepped over and bowled on his lane.

“I sent an email to Guinness, even though I knew the answer,” he said. “They replied that, even though it was not an authorized act, it was considered illegal substitution so my record attempt was over.”

Wessels said Cameron, 14, has had epilepsy since he was 6.

“He began having more frequent seizures, we had him tested and found he had a rare form of the disease called SCN8A,” he said. “There is no cure but the only way to keep our child alive is to have a seizure-alert dog, which lets us know the child will have a seizure in 45 minutes or less. That would be time to administer medication used to prevent a seizure.”

He said he decided on the bowling record attempt because the only sport Cameron could participate in, because of epilepsy, was bowling.

The rules to break the world record were fairly simple. Wessels was allowed a five-minute break each hour, he had to bowl at least five games an hour and had to start the five-game set five minutes after each hour. He said you can stockpile the breaks so there was a longer period to eat, rest or take a bathroom break.

On January 17, 2014, the President signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014, Section 431 of which directs that the 1992 and 2012 legislation establishing the post-decision appeals process and the pre-decisional objection process shall not apply to “any project or activity implementing a land and resource management plan … that is categorically excluded … under the National Environmental Policy Act.” On February 7, 2014, the President signed into law the Agricultural Act of 2014, Section 8006 of which repealed the Appeal Reform Act. The implementing regulation for the Appeal Reform Act was found in 36 CFR 215. The Agricultural Act of 2014 also directs that the pre-decisional objection process established in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012 shall not be applicable to categorically excluded projects or activities.

These legislative changes and the new direction issued by the chief do not limit the public’s ability to comment on Forest Service projects and activities. For categorically excluded projects, the Forest Service will continue to offer public involvement opportunity as per 36 CFR 220.

Parker’s potable plaza has lots of appeal Brewery, nearby winery offer unique libations to locals

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s a sunny summer morning at the shopping center at 18921 Plaza Drive, but the lights are off and the air is tinged with a musky aroma inside Purgatory Cellars Winery. It’s winemaking day, and co-owner Gary Tassler sits at a small table covered with an array of scales, pipettes and measuring spoons.

“You kind of have to be a little bit like a mad scientist here,” he said.

Tassler and his unpaid assistant, Brad Collins, are doing bench trials. Tassler adds different amounts of tannins, a finishing ingredient, to each of four bottles of wine pulled from the same barrel. Tomorrow he and Collins will try each bottle, and the one that tastes the best will determine the recipe added to finish the barrel.

It’s a time-consuming approach that few wineries still use, Tassler says, but it’s essential to making sure Purgatory’s wines have just the right finish. He says adding tannins “cancels out the white noise” of competing flavors in each wine.

Purgatory’s technique is unique and so is their equipment. Co-owner Marko Copic brought barrels, wine racks and “everything but the sofas” from his homeland of Croatia to get the winery started.

Speaking on the telephone from Croatia, Copic said the oldest winemaking methods are the best. Where most wineries in the United States separate grape skins, seeds and wine before fermenting in stainless steel tanks, Copic and Tassler stir all of the components together and let them age in amphoras, large clay jars that have been used since ancient Greek vintners plied their trade.

“Not even five places in the U.S. use this method,” Copic said.

Liam Macfarlane pours a frosty brew at Elk Mountain Brewing Inc. at 18921 Plaza Drive in Parker on June 15. Macfarlane says the concoction he hears the most demand for is the brewery’s peanut butter stout. Photo by Tom Skelley Flashy flavors, better beers Three doors down from Purgatory Cellars, Elk Mountain Brewing uses industry-standard equipment and techniques to craft their beer. What sets the brewery apart is the variety of flavors and styles they create.

“A lot of places have a certain thing they’re good at,” assistant brewer Liam Macfarlane said. “We try to do a little bit of everything. We’re the only place that releases at least two new beers every week.”

Macfarlane’s boss, head brewer Shannon Madruga, said she fell in love with the craft of making beer before she was old enough to drink it.

“When I was in high school I got a job at a restaurant near my house that brewed on site and the brewer there was very nice and accommodating. He

taught me a lot,” Madruga said.

Madruga pursued her interest in brewing until it became a passion. She’s been brewing at home for 11 years and worked at Aurora’s Dry Dock Brewery before coming to Elk Mountain two years ago.

“I’ve just always been fascinated with it,” she said. “I’m fascinated with the process, I love the science and the chemistry of it and everything that goes into it.”

Madruga said the taps at Elk Mountain have an assortment of standard, “flagship” beers, and she and Macfarlane add seasonal brews to the menu throughout the year. The brewery’s cherry wheat ale and red India pale ale are popular throughout spring and summer, while its vanilla caramel porter and cherry chocolate stout keep cus-

tomers warm in fall and winter.

“I think one of the things we try to do is to make it interesting,” Madruga said.

“We have our flagship beers and then we have our fun ones,” she said, citing the brewery’s peanut butter stout as an especially successful experiment.

Referencing a blender full of coconut milk and other ingredients on the bar, Madruga said a coconut stout is next.

Both Madruga and Tassler said their customers are sophisticated enough to know good drink when they find it, and that return business has been the key to their success.

“Wine drinkers will hunt down a winery when they find a hidden gem,” Tassler said. “And this place is a gem.”

Madruga said Elk Mountain’s customers feel the same affection for their favorite brews.

“We have a lot of regulars that keep coming back for ‘their beer,’” she said.

“As long as we keep that going, we’ll be all right.”

Business has been booming for both establishments. Purgatory Cellars is about to expand into a building across Progress Way, next to Monkey Bizness, and Elk Mountain is about to celebrate its sixth anniversary on Aug. 6.

Madruga said she and Tassler have talked about combining the separate businesses with a shared patio behind the stores.

“It makes sense,” Tassler said, comparing the idea to a pastry shop and coffee house sharing tables on a sidewalk.

It will be a long process, involving patio construction and a new liquor license, but both said it would be worth it to provide people a place to enjoy local wines and beers together.

“In a perfect world, you could a buy a beer at the brewery, then go out in the back and sit with your spouse or significant other or whatever while they enjoy a glass of wine,” Tassler said.

“Everybody could have a little of everything.”
