sound into the vision we had.

Castle Rock woman records EP in Nashville

Why I’m pursuing music I have known I wanted to be a singer since I was a 4-year-old. I have been singing on my church’s worship team for more than 15 years. I have never really abandoned music, but once I got married and started having children, my focus really turned to my family. Some hard life circumstances a few years ago really forced me to look at my life and separate out what was important and needed to stay from what needed to go. Music was high on the “important” list. At that point, I started learning to play the guitar so that I could actually start playing shows.

About me I’m a local singer/songwriter and also a wife and mother of four. I grew up in Castle Rock. My faith is important to me. I love art and creativity. Nature inspires me. My new EP, “Made New,” will be released everywhere on Sept. 22.

The single “Sing Out Your Song” from the EP has already been released. It’s a song I wrote for my daughter who is in middle school. It talks about the beauty of a person who is hurt and broken but still chooses to sing, and how making that choice to sing in the midst of a hard time changes you.

Recording my EP in Nashville The experience was amazing! I got connected with a producer by a friend of a friend and we did all the pre-production of the songs via email. Then, I went to Nashville and we did all the recording in one week. The musicians were so good at their craft. They heard the demo of each song one time, then played it almost perfectly just by looking at the charts. The producer, Ryan Corn, was also great. He really shaped the

A creative life I have been a French teacher, a photographer and a small business owner (soap and body products). I also homeschool my two younger children and have recently learned to screen print. I kind of just love being creative. When something catches my interest, I want to learn how to do it.

My advice I have learned to grab on to joy when it surfaces, and to look for beauty and goodness everywhere.

October is the time for eerie ambience and spooky tales, and Douglas County Libraries archivist Shaun Boyd is looking forward to the opportunity to telling ghost stories to give county residents a few goosebumps and a lesson or two about local history.

“It’s like a spoonful of sugar,” she said. “It’s the fun hook to get people connected to their community through folklore.”

Boyd’s been immersing herself in the county’s old newspapers, records and maps for eight years. She combined her research and interviews with community members and occupants of historic buildings to put together five presentations about haunted locations throughout the county this October.

She hopes the events are as interactive as the discussion that inspired the idea.

“I want people to bring their own stories,” she said.

Each event includes six tales of supernatural happenings in county buildings like the Old Stone Church in Castle Rock, the McIntyre Cabin near Parker and the Highlands Ranch Mansion. Creepy occurrences range from homicidal families in the 1860s to ghastly occurrences in the past few years.

“I’ve been collecting these stories since I started working here,” she said. “I do love a good ghost story.”

People often come into the Philip S. Miller library in Castle Rock to learn about the history of their homes and neighborhoods. Boyd said weaving together common tales of long-dead residents checking up on their successors was a natural, or supernatural, way to extend that curiosity to residents’ shared history.

As for herself, Boyd is skeptical about the existence of ghosts, even

Douglas County Libraries archivist Shaun Boyd peeks around a corner among the shelves and files of the Philip S. Miller branch archives. Boyd is skeptical of the existence of ghosts despite spooky occurences in her childhood, and recently teamed up with a friend to perform paranormal investigations of their own.

TOM SKELLEY though her grandmother’s house was said to be haunted by the spirit of a sailor killed in World War II. Her siblings said they saw apparitions, and the late man’s family even contacted Boyd’s grandmother to say they had reached him via Ouija board.

Then there was the time she, as a toddler, was napping in her grandmother’s bedroom.

“She came in to check on me… apparently I was standing straight up in my crib, pointing at the closet saying ‘Man! Man!’” Boyd said. “Apparently I was playing peek-a-boo with the ghost.”

Since the house was in Iowa, it’s unlikely to be part of Boyd’s discussions.

Nevertheless, she hopes the stories she’s collected will give locals the chance to have fun and learn about the past they share with each other, and their predecessors.

The presentations may not be for the faint of heart, but Boyd said they are probably appropriate for most age groups. Probably.

“There is still the story of the little girl with the ax in her head,” she said.

‘This is the most impactful intervention . . . I’ve been part of’ County’s new mental health response team keeps mentally ill out of jail and emergency room

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

‘We had protocols. We had policies.

We had systems. But at the end of the day, these people were stuck in a revolving door.’

She was in her 50s, well-known to police — and diagnosed as psychotic.

For one Castle Rock woman, life was a frightful blur of delusions that left her convinced each of her neighbors was a dangerous criminal.

For years, she called authorities multiple times a day to report the smallest of perceived crimes. To her, simply finding someone’s discarded cigarette butt was enough to warrant a police report.

In a world consumed by mental illness, the woman became ostracized from most of her family. She lived in near solitude. She was afraid to leave her home.

Her closest companion was a cat, which she loved wholeheartedly.

Then, the cat got out.

lady for about four years from my officers,” Castle Rock Police Chief Jack Cauley told county commissioners Sept. 19. “And, finally, we have gotten this lady some help. I mean, finally. It’s so nice to see.”

Cauley and several county staff members relayed the woman’s story at a special business meeting called by the Douglas County Board of Commissioners during which representatives from the county’s Mental Health Initiative updated them on the successes of its pilot program, the Community Response Team, or the CRT.

Art Morales, Castle Rock fire chief of approximately 82 people the CRT team has worked with since its launch in May. In brief, the CRT is a team of emergency responders who strive to keep the mentally ill out of jail and out of the emergency room if what they truly need is psychological help.

“I’ve been in this business for 38 years,” Castle Rock Fire Chief Art Morales said. “I think during that 38 years a lot of time was spent not knowing what to do with the mentally ill community. We had protocols. We had policies. We had systems. But at the end of the day, these people were stuck in a revolving door.”

When authorities respond to calls involving behavioral health issues, their options were often limited to jail or transport to the emergency room, officials said.

But that has changed with the CRT, comprised of one law enforcement officer from the sheriff ’s office or Castle Rock police and one professional clinician. The two work from the same patrol car while a Castle Rock Fire Department paramedic team is on-call to offer medical assistance when needed.

Sometimes the CRT team responds to active 911 calls. Law enforcement can request the team’s help when responding to calls they identify as a behavioral health situation. The CRT can also selfdispatch when it hears a 911 call they deem appropriate or if it is from a mentally ill subject with whom they are familiar. In other instances the CRT is referred to cases by departments such as the county attorney’s office.

For every person they contact, follow-up visits ensue to track their progress.

Those care management plans help monitor when a person needs prescription refills, the date of their next doctor appointment and if a person needs help getting to the appointments.

Rather than the emergency department, and rather than jail, many of the people contacted by the CRT were placed in inpatient psychiatric care, intensive outpatient care or were treated and kept on-scene.

RESULTS FROM THE CRT’S FIVE MONTHS IN ACTION The CRT team specifically targets people known to frequently call 911 or use emergency services, not due to a medical emergency, but as a result of their mental condition.

In one instance, a mentally ill individual was transported to the emergency department 19 times within a 12-month period. Fees for the hospital to administer services totaled more than $230,500.

The Mental Health Initiative estimates that in five months the CRT has been able to divert 16 people from jail and 24 people from entering the emergency department.

Once the CRT arrived to calls, they were able to release 120 law enforcement patrol units back into service.

Approximately 100 people have been identified as “high utilizers,” or individuals frequently using the emergency systems.

“Cycles are being broken,” said Mental Health Initiative Coordinator Anne Mosbach.

Next steps After working with the CRT, the Castle Rock woman admitted she feared harming one of her neighbors and agreed to enter hospital care, Mosbach said.

The day of her hospitalization was also the day her cat escaped.

Mosbach asked not to identify the woman or her exact mental condition, but said losing her beloved pet made leaving home that much more stressful.

This time she wasn’t alone.

Castle Rock police and a band of Boy Scout troopers set out across town to find the animal. They eventually resorted to setting a trap.

Instead, they caught a raccoon.

Luckily, the cat returned on its own and officials were able to reunite it with the woman.

The help provided by the Mental Health Initiative didn’t end there.

The woman is now stabilized and responding well to medication, Mosbach said, and she has made arrangements to move in with an out-of-state relative who will act as a caretaker.

Most importantly, the woman now understands she suffers from a mental illness. Before working with the CRT, her delusions were her reality, Mosbach said.

There are additional success stories, officials said Sept. 19. Looking forward, the Mental Health Initiative would like to form a second CRT team to serve the county and, hopefully, generate even more success stories.

“How do we quantify the human impact?” Mosbach said. “I’ve been a social worker for 10 years and this is the most impactful, thorough, thoughtful intervention that I’ve been part of.”

District’s direction at stake in school board election Four of seven seats on ballot, with no incumbents running

Forums scheduled for school board candidates

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO AND ALEX DEWIND STAFF WRITERS

They come from different backgrounds and neighborhoods — and hold different educational philosophies — but parents from across Douglas County agree the upcoming school board election could change the course of the school district.

“The reformers have controlled DCSD for eight years,” parent Kelly Pointer said of the often-controversial majority that has led the district since 2009. “In that time, I have seen a lack of transparency, a lack of respect for teachers, parents and community members, a lack of fiscal responsibility and a lack of stability. Simply put, our district is a mess.”

Parent Lindsay Wolfe has a different outlook. Wolfe’s three kids transferred from a neighborhood school to American Academy in Parker, a charter school, where they are “getting exactly what they need.” She also backs many of the reforms the board has implemented, including a pay-for-performance model for teachers. She’s confident in the future of the district as long as it continues in the same direction, she said.

“If not,” said Wolfe, “I don’t know what we are going to do.”

Pointer, Wolfe and many others believe this election is pivotal, particularly because the board will have a big say next year in the district’s future with its choice of a permanent superintendent to replace Elizabeth Fagen, who resigned in July 2016. The position has been held by an

LOOKING AHEAD: ISSUE-FOCUSED CANDIDATE Q&AS Colorado Community Media is asking each of the candidates for the four seats on the Douglas County School Board for their stances on crucial issues. We plan to publish their answers in the Oct. 12 and 13 editions.

Here are the candidates: District B: Ryan Abresch, Anthony Graziano District D: Randy Mills, Chris Schor District E: Kevin Leung, Grant Nelson District G: Krista Holtzmann, Debora Scheffel

interim superintendent, Erin Kane, since then.

Eight years after the election of a reformminded school board effectively changed the direction and tenor of the Douglas County School District — the state’s third-largest with more than 67,000 students — its future could once again be on the threshold of change.

Sweeping change School board candidates who espoused reforms such as pay-for-performance evaluations for teachers and a form of school choice that would later include a controversial voucher program were elected in 2009. They introduced a host of new policies that, to many critics, changed the district too severely and too quickly, without enough community and teacher participation.

Many blamed the reforms for an exodus of hundreds of

top-performing teachers and administrators.

In early 2010, the school board hired Fagen, who would become increasingly unpopular among many district educators and community members because of curriculum and policy changes — and the ways in which they were implemented.

Like-minded candidates won elections in 2011 and 2013. For six years, supporters of the reforms held all seven seats on the board.

On the heels of years of strong vocal opposition by many parents, a shift occurred in 2015, when candidates who opposed the reform policies ousted incumbents Kevin Larsen, Craig Richardson and Richard Robbins. David Ray, Wendy Vogel and Anne-Marie Lemieux each won with at least 58 percent of the vote.

The result has been a divided board, with votes frequently falling 4-3 in favor of the reform-minded members,

The winning candidates will be elected to four-year terms.

Ballots will be mailed to voters the week of Oct. 16. Ballots must be received by Douglas County by 7 p.m. Nov. 7.

Meghann Silverthorn, James Geddes, Judith Reynolds and Steven Peck, none of whom is running for re-election. Silverthorn is term-limited, while the other members are not, but rather chose not to seek four more years on the board.

This year’s race To Ray, the 2017 election looks similar to the one in 2009.

“A slate of candidates, who were handpicked by a small group of political activists, won the election. They went on to hire a superintendent who was aligned to their agenda — and our district has paid the horrific cost ever since,” Ray said. “Fortunately, the community will have a chance to learn from past mistakes and not allow history to repeat itself.”

Ray is referring to the Elevate slate, made up of Randy Mills, Grant Nelson, Ryan Abresch and Debora Scheffel.

The four candidates, however, emphasize they are not linked to the reform-minded members of the board.

“A couple people have come up to me and asked if we’re just a continuation of the current board. I want to make clear we’re not,” said Nelson, who owns a commercial real estate business that operates throughout Colorado, Wyoming and Montana. “We have zero ties to them ... We’re doing this to try and put the Douglas County school board back in the center and be a reasonable, rational group of people.”

But some community members, such as Laura Mutton — a parent and outspoken voice of those opposing the board majority — wonder if this is a political move.

“Why aren’t any of the current majority board members running?” she said. “A decision like that appears to be an admission that they haven’t done their job well ... This (the slate) implies a very organized and possibly political effort in the school board race, which in other districts is composed of individuals, not slates.”

Anthony Graziano, Chris Schor, Kevin Leung and Krista Holtzmann are the four candidates running against Elevate, and they do not officially call themselves a slate. But most of their supporters — many of whom have painted all four of the candidates’ names on their car windows — are treating them as such, looking at them as the anti-reform team.

While the race technically features two candidates in each of four districts, in essence, the Nov. 7 election will be the culmination of a four-on-four contest.

School district’s pay-for-performance suspended for one year School board unanimously approves the recommendation

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The seven members of the Douglas County School Board approved suspending the differentiated pay structure for licensed teachers and administrators for one year at the Sept.

19 board meeting.

Suspending the pay-for-performance structure for the 2017-18 school year gives teachers and administrators the chance to review and share their opinions about a revised teacher evaluation rubric developed over the past year, Steve Colella, the district’s chief of human resources, said at a Sept. 5 board meeting, when the recommendation to suspend differentiated pay for a year was made to the school board.

The recommendation follows “challenges” created by the simultaneous implementation of teacher evaluations and a differentiated pay system, Colella said.

In the 2012-13 school year, the school district implemented a teacher evaluation called CITE and an administrator evaluation called LEAD. The evaluation systems are required in all Colorado school districts under 2010’s Senate Bill 191, also called the Educator Effectiveness Bill.

The district also implemented a differentiated pay system based on performance. Based on the results of evaluations, teachers and administrators are rated as highly effective, effective, partially effective or ineffective.

They then receive differentiated raises based on the ratings.

Many community members say the reforms caused a flight of quality educators.

The district’s human resources department met with a group of teachers and administrators during the 2016-17 year to revise the CITE and LEAD rubrics. The district will allow teachers and administrators to get comfortable with the revised rubrics this school year. It will provide flat pay raises to employees rated “partially effective” and above in the 2018-19 school year. The amount will be decided next spring, when the district reviews its budget.

Sky-high rents squeeze longtime residents Housing prices put the hurt on workforce

WHAT’S IT COST? Median rent for a one-bedroom apartment in September for area cities in which the number was available at ApartmentList.com:

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mary Ann Parker can’t talk about her apartment search without crying.

The 58-year-old on disability rents a room in a house in Commerce City for $750 a month, which eats up most of her $840 a month disability check.

She longs to live closer to her daughter and her newborn grandchild in Castle Rock, but after months of searching, she’s discouraged.

“I can’t even afford to put in application fees,” Parker said. “I can’t part with $50 for every place, just to be turned down over and over. And first and last month’s rent and a security deposit after that? It’s just impossible.”

Parker has moved several times over the last few years, chasing cheap rents that keep creeping up.

She narrowly missed a slot in a south metro housing authority when a change-of-address form didn’t go through, and she missed the notification. She’s been trying to apply to other housing authority boards around the metro area, but most aren’t accepting new applicants because the waiting lists are already years long.

Things are tense with the other boarders in the house, and one of her few sources of comfort is Butterfly, her certified therapy dog Papillon, who eases the symptoms of Parker’s PTSD, depression and anxiety.

“She keeps me from getting so lonely,” Parker said.

Parker’s story is emblematic of the challenges faced by renters across the metro area, where rents climbed 52 percent between 2005 and 2015, according to Apartment List, a rental listing site that also researches industry trends. An influx of people lured by a healthy job market have strained the capacity of the construction industry and pushed people like Parker to the margins.

“It’s basically two camps: The first is those that have moved here from somewhere else, many times with a job, many times from a more expensive market,” said Ron Throupe, the author of the quarterly Denver Metro Apartment Vacancy and Rent report and a professor at the University of Denver. “For them, the prices are not much of a burden.

“But those that have been here a long time, they’re living on the economy they grew from, and they’re on different footing than those inmigrating. They’re the ones feeling the pressures.”

‘People won’t want to stay’ The median rent in the Denver metro area was $1,377 in the second quarter, according to Throupe’s report, and builders can’t cut the ribbon on new apartments fast enough.

Mary Ann Parker wants to move from Commerce City to be closer to her newborn granddaughter in Castle Rock, but a white-hot rental market has left her discouraged and frustrated.

DAVID GILBERT More than 11,000 new apartments came online last year, and 10,000 more opened in the first half of 2017.

Vacancy rates remain low, around 5 percent. Colorado’s population continues to grow by roughly 10,000 people a month, with the overwhelming majority settling along the Front Range.

Skyrocketing housing prices have many young people looking elsewhere to start a family, said Sydney Bennet, a researcher with Apartment List. A recent study by the company found that two-thirds of Denver renters want to settle down somewhere else.

“If these cost trends continue, people won’t want to stay,” Bennet said.

“People from San Jose, San Francisco or New York move here because it’s comparatively more affordable.

But for people who have lived here for 20 or 30 years, it’s unprecedented.

You have a lot of strain on lower- and middle-income families who have never had to spend so much toward housing.”

Bennet said eventually the trends are likely to flatten out some, with in-migration slowing and apartment construction catching up, but prices

aren’t likely to come down.

That’s because the vast majority of new rental stock is high-end, Throupe said, with few builders bothering with workforce housing.

That leaves low-income earners with little wiggle room, and even exerts upward pressure on the rents on mid-range apartments.

A shortage of starter homes has meant many people can’t make the jump from renting to owning, Throupe said, after the recession knocked many custom home builders out of business and with tract home builders only now back in full swing.

What’s the solution?

One barrier to making the jump has been unintended consequences of Colorado’s decade-old construction defects law, which allowed as few as two owners in a condominium development to file class-action lawsuits against developers and builders for defective units for years after they were completed, said Republican state Sen. Jack Tate, who represents District 27, covering a swath of the southeast metro area, including Centennial and parts of Aurora.

Tate said the law meant that nearly

• Arvada: $1,190

• Littleton: $1,450

• Aurora: $1,250

• Lone Tree: $1,620

• Englewood: $1,200

• Parker: $1,420

• Denver: $1,070

• Thornton: $1,440

• Golden: $1,230

• Westminster: $1,250

all condo builders in the state were mired in excessive litigation, and made builders gun-shy about building more condos when apartments were much lower risk. Condos are generally considered a starting point for new homeowners because of their lower cost than single-family homes. Tate said the law meant that condos went from 20 percent of the metro area’s new housing stock in 2005 to only 2 percent today.

Tate cosponsored a bipartisan reform bill aimed at reducing the law’s impact by upping the classaction requirement to a majority of a condo development’s residents, and narrowing the timeframe to a 90-day election period.

The law, signed by Gov. John Hickenlooper in May, took effect in early September. Tate said it’s too soon to know if the law will spur condo development, but he hears optimism among builders.

“Homeownership is important,” Tate said “We should not underestimate how critical condominiums are as an entry point for young people and a place for older folks to downsize.”

More action on the part of governments may be necessary, said Brad Evans, a former real estate agent turned consultant and selfproclaimed “professional agitator” for smart growth.

Evans, who lives in Lakewood, said some cities are turning toward growth restrictions that only send rents and housing prices even higher. He’s fighting a proposal in Lakewood that he said will turn it into “the next Boulder.”

“Growth restrictions will murder people,” Evans said. “Tax rates will skyrocket. Granny in her 1960s ranch will be on the hook for a lot more in taxes.”

Evans said that both restricting and encouraging sprawl have their drawbacks.

“We need intergovernmental agreements on developing workforce housing,” Evans said. “We need a healthy mix of condos, townhomes, single family and for-rent product.

We can’t be afraid of change. Instead of battling, how do we collaborate?”

DACA students rally to renew eligibility, ‘mourn loss of dream’ In wake of program’s end, recipients feel ‘betrayed’ but not surprised

WHAT IS DACA? The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program allows undocumented immigrants to apply for the ability to live and work in the U.S. for renewable periods of two years.

It depends upon, in part, if an individual:

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When she was 2 years old, Claudia Hurtado and her sister were taken across the border with people she didn’t know.

Separately, her parents crossed from Mexico to Texas, and there, met the people with their children, before coming to Denver to give them “a better future,” said Hurtado, who’s now able to work and and live without fear of deportation because of the Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals program. DACA started under President Barack Obama in 2012 when the federal government decided to change how it enforces immigration law.

When she was 13, Hurtado heard that her father was deported after taking a bus to visit his father’s grave in Mexico. After he crossed the border to El Paso, Texas, immigration officers there detained him.

“I remember my mom hiding it from us because we were young,” said Hurtado, now 16 and a Denver Public Schools student. She heard the news first from her sister.

For thousands of students in Colorado, eyeing the thin line between legal status and undocumented life is a daily occurrence — children brought to the United States by undocumented parents live with the possibility their family may be torn apart at any time.

But after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the end of DACA on Sept. 5, more than 15,000 people with active DACA status in Colorado may see that line erased entirely. The federal government stopped accepting new applications Sept. 5, and those whose status expires before March 5 have until Oct. 5 to reapply. For those whose status is set to expire after March 5, the clock is ticking until their protections run out.

Acting fast “I was very angry, very frustrated,” said Saira Galindo, a student at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

“We all (had) a lot of questions (and) a lot of confusion because can we reapply, do we send it now, do we not renew?”

Galindo, vice president of RISE, a group of undocumented and DACAstatus students and allies at MSU, helped organize a walkout that led high school and college students through Denver to the Auraria Campus the morning of Sept. 5 to protest the potential rescinding of DACA. Students from several DPS high schools participated, said Galindo, a DACA recipient.

“Seeing all these young kids, all these schools, speak out was very empowering,” Galindo, 24, said, but “very devastating because people were crying. People were scared ... everyone was feeling literally everything at the moment.”

• Was less than 31 years old as of June 15, 2012.

• Came to the U.S. before their 16th birthday.

• Has continuously lived in the U.S. since June 15, 2007.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette stands with Seleste, left, and Vanessa, right, after holding a listening session at Bruce Randolph School in Denver Sept. 20 with DACA students and those with ties to undocumented immigrants.

ELLIS ARNOLD But amid the panic, lawyers, law students, campus officials and student activists have banded together at colleges across metro areas to renew DACA protections for eligible recipients. On Sept. 16, pro-bono lawyers and staff from MSU and the University of Colorado Denver ran a workshop on the Auraria Campus that got DACA-renewal applications done for students from those two schools.

They paid the $495 renewal fee for the students.

Community College of Denver students, high school students and community members got help from the local Mexican consulate in Glendale at the workshop, said Galindo, whose RISE group and CU Dreamers, a similar group at UCD, helped organize it. For non-Mexican nationals, the workshop helped them apply for funds through the Mission Asset Fund, a San Francisco-based nonprofit.

In all, 33 people got renewals submitted or assitance applying that day. MSU started a fund to help with renewal fees — it covered the fee for seven students there, Saira said — and UCD pulled from the privately funded Student Relief Fund created

by University of Colorado regents in April. Five students have had the fee covered by that fund, said Angelica Lopez-Rodriguez, graduate assistant for undocumented student services at UCD. Similar renewal workshops took place Sept. 22 and 23 at Colorado State University Fort Collins, Sept. 23 at the University of Denver and Sept. 27 at the University of Colorado Boulder, and will take place Sept. 29 at the University of Northern Colorado Greeley.

Under pressure At Arapahoe Community College in Littleton, some undocumented students dropped classes after DACA’s rescinding, officials said.

“I’ve been working in higher (education) for 20 years, and this feeling that `whoa, this might affect my ability to finish my education’ ... I’ve never (previously) felt that,” said Jeff Duggan, coordinator for communications at the college.

ACC doesn’t track its number of DACA students, said Lisa Matye

Edwards, vice president of student affairs, but through anecdotal conversations, school officials have noticed.

She guessed ACC has about 30 students affected by DACA policy, and the school identified a pool of donated money it can use to help students pay their renewal fee.

The school put out a message to staff and students Sept. 5 and is connecting students to immigration attorneys, Matye Edwards said. Mental health counselors, and ACC staff who were once non-citizens, can speak to students about their anxiety, she said.

On Sept. 13, the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education, which oversees 13 colleges in the state including ACC, adopted a resolution to support congressional action to preserve DACA protections.

Looking ahead With less than six months until recipients who do not have the chance to reapply for DACA begin to see their status expire, Congress will be under pressure to decide the fate of young immigrants.

U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-Golden, supports the DREAM Act of 2017, which would give undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. before age 18 a path to citizenship through work, military service or attending college. He also supports the American Hope Act, which is similar but would not be based on those criteria.

He supported DACA when it was enacted in 2012.

“I was pleased to see Gov. Hickenlooper add Colorado’s name to a lawsuit challenging (President Trump’s) decision to end the DACA program,” Perlmutter said.

Republican U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner tweeted a statement Sept. 5 saying he’s proud to cosponsor the DREAM Act. “Children who came to this country ... through no fault of their own must have the opportunity to remain here lawfully,” Gardner’s statement said.

A spokesperson for Democratic U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet said Bennet supports the DREAM Act and has supported DACA. Bennet “believes Dreamers should feel empowered to continue contributing to our society — not scared of

• Is currently in school, has graduated or earned completion from high school, earned a GED or is an honorably discharged military veteran.

• Has not been convicted of a felony, significant or many misdemeanors, and does not pose a threat to national security or public safety.

The term “Dreamers” has been applied to young undocumented immigrants at least in part because of the title of the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, first introduced in 2001 but never passed by both houses of Congress.

There are about 689,800 people with active DACA status in the country, with about 15,500 living in Colorado.

Source: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website being deported from the only country they know as home,” the spokesperson said.

U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, said that in January he introduced the BRIDGE Act, which would be a “backup” plan to give undocumented immigrants legal presence and ability to work — under similar criteria to DACA — for three years.

“What I hope is a more permanent solution (can pass),” said Coffman, who supports a proposal to combine elements of the DREAM Act with added border security, but not a wall, along with Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder.

They put it together in mid-September along with a small bipartisan group in Congress and planned to introduce it into debate soon, Coffman said.

Trump has told Congressional Democrats he would accept some kind of DACA fix in exchange for added border security measures and that the wall would not be a part of the discussions, Politico reported Sept.

14. Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan supports that kind of pairing of policies.

“Trump’s announcement probably gives momentum to the effort to pass (comprehensive immigration reform),” Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Denver, said.

In the meantime, students like Claudia Hurtado will be waiting. Her family fought her father’s deportation case, and he was allowed to stay, partly because of his five children.

She wants to attend CU Boulder and become a lawyer.

She plans to help people with immigration cases.

Local responders tasked with national relief West, South Metro crews help with Irma, Harvey and Western wildfires

In Florida, members of Colorado Task Force 1 scour homes and structures damaged by Hurricane Irma to assess the general safety of the area and identify survivors in need of medical services or food and water.

Ronda Scholting, public information officer with West Metro, said 11 members of her district went to Texas and Florida. All but four — HAZMAT specialists assisting with potentially dangerous cleanup details — had returned as of Sept. 20, she said.

The work takes the crews far from their jurisdictions, but Scholting said it’s what they signed on for.

“These crews have gone to the floods in Lyons, they helped (in New York City) after 9/11,” she said. “Their job is to do whatever they’re called on to do.”

First responders see a lot of tragedy in their line of work, but Eric Hurst, who recently returned from assisting local emergency services in Orlando, Florida, after Hurricane Irma, described the experience as “especially eye-opening.”

“As I drove to Valdosta (Georgia), gas stations were all out of gas… it was a struggle to find fuel or find stores that had food,” said Hurst, public information officer for South Metro Fire Rescue.

“Then, heading south on I-75, just seeing the traffic jam of everyone going north and fleeing the storm… it was disaster movie-like,” he said.

Colorado Task Force 1, a FEMA-administered group composed of more than 200 members from more than a dozen Colorado departments, spread out across the United States over the last month as Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Harvey and ongoing wildfires in Oregon and California tested the limits of local resources.

The force included more than two dozen responders from the West Metro

firefighters to a 14-day deployment to the Eclipse Complex Fire near Happy Camp, California, replacing another four-person team after their two-week deployment ended.

Scholting said West Metro has sent teams to California and Montana this summer, while a four-person crew recently finished work in Oregon fighting the Miller Complex Fire and a team of three responders just completed their 14-day deployment in California.

As of Sept. 21, they were all on the road back to Colorado, “but that could d change in an hour,” Scholting said. b In case any Coloradans worry loo cal resources are being spread thin, k Scholting said inter-departmental t agreements at the local level ensure 3 each district has the manpower needed to protect itself. f The big picture, she said, is coopera- o tion between national and state orga- h nizations to serve citizens wherever o help is needed.

Out-of-state forces came to Colorado B to assist when floods struck Lyons v in 2013, and they helped battle the w Hayman Fire in 2002, as well as other t wildfires since. It’s not a question of if p Colorado will need the help again, it’s a more likely a matter of when.

“Everyone does it with the assump- g t tion that if we need it, we count on being able to call on federal agencies,” i Scholting said. “We may need this w help at some point in time.” t t t

$241 million budget for 2018 gets council’s OK Public safety, infrastructure remain spending priorities

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Town council didn’t have much discussion before approving the 2018 budget on Sept. 19, which might seem odd, Councilmember Jason Bower acknowledged before assuring residents that the council had pored over the 346-page document ahead of the vote.

“We’ve been drilling on this thing for weeks,” he said, referencing oneon-one meetings that councilmembers had with Town Manager Dave Corliss on the topic.

Councilmember George Teal echoed Bower’s statements before council voted 6-0, Councilmember Brett Ford was absent, giving final approval of the $241.2 million budget. It was approved on first reading Sept. 5.

“We don’t really have a lot of bells and whistles,” Corliss said of the budget. “It really is focused on the town’s top priorities — public safety and infrastructure.”

To that end, Castle Rock’s budget will allow for added personnel in both the police and fire departments, and the operation of the new fire station that broke ground Sept. 18.

Corliss said the “key heavy lift” in the budget is the additional $2 million in annual operating costs for Fire Station 152, which will serve the Crystal

Valley area and open mid-2018. The station means hiring 12 new employees, whose salaries and benefits are slated to cost about $1.56 million from the general fund.

Police Chief Jack Cauley requested five more personnel, including two dispatchers he said were needed due to the town’s growth. Calls rose 3 percent between 2014 and 2016, he told council when the budget was first introduced on Aug. 15.

About 75 percent of the increases to the town’s general fund were related to public safety, Corliss said. The 2018 budget appropriates $51,445,199 to the general fund, while the 2017 budget appropriated $47,936,117.

Town residents can also expect a new $2 million neighborhood park, although the location remains undetermined, as part of the budget requests from Parks and Recreation. Transportation improvements are coming too in the way of planned capital projects, such as a $4.26 million project at the intersection of Founders Parkway and Allen Way. Council was scheduled to consider the town’s Master Transportation Plan after its budget discussion on Sept. 19 but postponed that discussion when the meeting ran late.

Within the budget, there are no new or increased taxes. Council also gave initial approval to lower the mill levy rate in 2018 from 1.437 mills down to 1.330 on Sept. 19. Final reading of the mill levy tax will be in December.

LINCOLN FROM PAGE 10

Voehl has performed several times.

“Aside from being Abe Lincoln, he’s just a lovely and friendly individual,” Ludwig said.

Voehl’s first jaunt as Lincoln was at a Boy Scout camp in 1996, after a friend asked him to do a silly skit based on Lincoln’s character in the 1989 movie “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.”

Though Lincoln never actually said “Party on, dudes,” Voehl said the experience impacted him — especially once he realized how strongly he resembles Lincoln.

“I also discovered the rock star awe Lincoln has with a lot of people,” Voehl said. “People are inspired by the things he did, and the magic of his true life story. Born in a log cabin with a dirt floor, he became not only a president, but the one at the moment of our greatest national crisis: the Civil War. He not only got us through it, but made the country different than it was before — for the better.”

From an original half-hour presentation, Voehl has developed dozens of Lincoln presentations, covering topics like the president’s biography, policies, lifestyle and achievements.

Donning an impeccable costume, Voehl’s presentations often start with the president seated and

‘I’ve found it’s hard to say what he would have thought without injecting myself and my own beliefs.’

John Voehl, Abraham Lincoln presenter preparing to sign the Emancipation Proclamation, which ended slavery in the South.

“I talk about what day of the week it is, how I’m preparing to go to a Cabinet meeting to present the document, and what’s going on in Lincoln’s life,” he said. “I have authentic-looking reproductions of historical documents. People get so into it they think it’s real.”

Voehl’s wife Pamela increasingly accompanies John in presentations as Mary Todd Lincoln, the president’s wife. She also does solo presentations. She was unavailable to speak for this story.

Lincoln is often viewed as a titanic or iconic figure, Voehl said, so it’s been humbling to get to know Lincoln the man.

“My expectation was that like most historical figures, is that if

you dig down you find the dirt,” he said. “You’ll find out he kicked his dog or was unfaithful or often inebriated. You can say `yeah but.’

“But the closer you get to Lincoln, the better he is.”

Still, Lincoln was not without troubles. He was depressed, sometimes to the point of being suicidal, Voehl said.

“He called it his `melancholy,’ ” Voehl said. “There were times his friends would sequester him and took sharp objects away from him.”

How Lincoln would respond to current affairs or politics is tough to answer, Voehl said.

“I’m often asked what Lincoln would think of Black Lives Matter or Barack Obama or Confederate statues,” Voehl said. “I’ve found it’s hard to say what he would have thought without injecting myself

and my own beliefs.”

What would Lincoln think of President Trump?

“I think Lincoln would hope that the personality of the man does not rule the office, as much as the severity and importance of the office should rule the man,” Voehl said.

“Trump’s not the first person in that category, though. Teddy Roosevelt and Andrew Jackson were also men of huge personalities.”

The life of Abraham Lincoln has many lessons to impart on us today, Voehl said.

“He teaches us perseverance,” Voehl said. “To never give up on anything. He operated at a high level while feeling miserable.”

Lincoln also teaches us to stay the course and maintain civility when our cause is just, Voehl said.

“As Commander in Chief, he believed that the idea that all men are created equal had to survive,” Voehl said. “When faced with opponents who are abusive and demeaning, Lincoln never castigated his opponents. He expended his strength to use his words to get people to look at things from his perspective.”

Voehl is nine years older than Lincoln was when he was killed.

But Lincoln will live on, Voehl said, living not only through the people who portray him, but through his words, as in the closing lines of the Gettysburg Address, “that government of the people by the people for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

Be there and be square Square dancing club keeps dance alive and keeps it lively

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ask a group of square dancers what impact their passion has had on their lives, and you’ll get one answer over and over: “I met my spouse square dancing.”

It’s not hard to see why — how many opportunities does one get to laugh and twirl with dozens of other people for an evening?

Square dancing, a folk dance that has taken on innumerable variations since its origins in 16th-century Europe, lives on in the footloose and lighthearted members of the Mountaineers, a Littleton-based square dancing club, one of about a dozen such clubs in the Denver metro area.

The Mountaineers held an intro to square dancing class in Lakewood last week to drum up interest in their upcoming beginners’ classes.

At a crossroads Some parents and community members, such as Pointer, have made it clear they want something different from their school board.

“I am not interested in more of the same,” Pointer said. “I will not vote for candidates who are supported by the current and past majority who are responsible for creating this mess.”

But others, like Wolfe, believe the best path forward is a continuation of the current course — something she says the Elevate slate can provide.

“I am a firm believer in choice and doing what is best for our kids,” Wolfe said.

For parent Liz Wagner, who has supported the reform movement in the past, the district simply needs change.

“I’m a fiscal conservative who has historically voted for the reformer up until 2015,” Wagner said. “I’d like a balanced BOE who supports all students — charter, neighborhood, special education, gifted.”

Big decisions Among the newly elected board’s first major decisions will be whom to hire as the permanent superintendent.

The school board has extended Kane’s contract as interim superintendent through the 2017-18 school year, which means the school district will hold off on a search until after the election.

Both Ray and Peck agree that who leads the district will be one of the new board’s most critical decisions.

“All four seats up for re-election this fall support public charter schools, merit pay for educators and Superintendent Erin Kane and her executive team,” said Peck, who has generally aligned himself with the board majority since his appointment in November 2016 to replace a member who resigned.

“Losing one of those four seats could bring significant change ...”

Ray also includes teacher retention, the needs of aging facilities and budget decisions that directly affect students in classrooms as issues with as vital importance as choosing a new superintendent.

“The upcoming election will determine whether the entire board reflects these values and priorities,” he said.

With continuing growth and aging buildings, the debate over the need for new tax measures is another key campaign issue.

A district panel comprising members of the District Accountability Committee, Long Range Planning Committee and Fiscal Oversight Committee told the board in March that it supports the placing of bond and mill levy questions on the 2018 ballot.

In 2015, the Long Range Planning Committee — community members and parents who study the district’s capital needs — estimated the district needs $275.1 million for current and future capital needs projects over five years.

Other major issues facing the district include the teacher pay-for-performance system, pending lawsuits over school choice and vouchers, and how teachers are evaluated.

VOICES What could possibly be wrong about wanting a perfect world?

QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

M

y therapist asked me to describe my perfect world.

“No one goes hungry, for one thing,” I said.

“Very admirable.”

“Affordable health care options for everyone.”

“Very admirable.”

“No one wears a baseball cap backwards except a baseball player.”

“Seriously?”

“Seriously. And no one uses the word `sustainable’ for at least a year. Maybe longer.”

Hypothetical questions are fun to think about and that’s it.

“What would you do with a million dollars?”

“If you only had 24 hours to live, what would you do?”

“If you could only take 10 albums to a deserted island, would Hootie’s be one of them?”

The world is far from perfect.

“It’s a work in progress,” someone said.

It doesn’t look like it’s going to be finished by the time I take the last train to Clarksville.

Some things are best left unfinished.

Franz Schubert’s beautiful “Symphony No. 8” is known as the “Unfinished Symphony.”

Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “Kubla Khan” was never finished because he was interrupted when he was writing it by “a person from Porlock,” and when the person finally left, Coleridge forgot where the poem was headed.

(It was composed after he experienced an opium-influenced dream.)

Artist Gilbert Stuart’s most famous painting

is an unfinished portrait of George Washington that was on every classroom wall in my high school.

I asked my father, “Why would anyone buy unfinished furniture?”

“Son, it means unstained or unpainted.”

“Why isn’t it called unstained or unpainted furniture?”

It’s going to be a while before the Crazy Horse Memorial is finished.

Many authors, like Ernest Hemingway, have left stories and novels unfinished, only to have someone publish them posthumously — ostensibly to add further dimension to the author’s life, or to make money off of it. Take your pick.

ere we are back in full swing of the new school year. My guess would be that many of you reading this column have already asked the question, “Did you do your homework?” And you probably heard something like a short and muffled, “No.” Or a “Yes” that didn’t sound quite convincing.

The question itself is not wrong, we all would like to inspect what we expect when it comes to homework, but it could be the way we ask the question or the tonality we use when

asking the question. Instead of just asking if they did their homework, try something like this, “Tell me more about your homework tonight.

Is there a subject or assignment I can help you with?” Now we don’t want to do their homework for them, never not ever. Yet by taking a guiding or helpful role that doesn’t undermine their ability or their vision to complete the assignment is usually accepted.

Choose to keep politics out Charter school parents: The quality of our future charter schools is in jeopardy!

As a charter parent, I’m concerned that DCSD’s BOE directors Geddes, Peck, Reynolds and Silverthorn have been approving charter school applications that do not fully meet the district criteria. DCSD’s charter application process starts with the Charter Application Review Team, or CART. It includes 17 DCSD staff, one DAC member, one LRPC member and one independent reviewer. CART reviews the application to determine if it meets the 19 criteria that were developed by the Colorado Department of Education’s Schools of Choice Unit and the National Association of Charter School Authorizers.

Since 2016, Silverthorn, Peck, Reynolds and Geddes have voted to approve three charter applications that CART rejected: Leman Academy, Milestone Academy and Ascent Classical Academy. This means that recent CART recommendations are being ignored HALF the time! For Leman, CART stated that they did not meet seven of the 19

criteria (37 percent). Milestone did not meet 8 (42 percent) of the 19 criteria.

Alexandria School of Innovation was the only charter denied by both CART and BOE — the only recent example of the BOE majority actually complying with a CART rejection. This will not produce quality charter schools. It increases the liability that a school will not meet the state performance standards and risks a high-quality education for our kids.

Why are these BOE directors disregarding the recommendations of their own staff and ignoring state-endorsed criteria? Are they approving charters simply to increase charter presence in alignment with the education reform movement, without any regard to the quality and competence of these schools? Our children deserve better! Vote for school board directors who aren’t connected to the reform movement. Vote for Graziano, Holtzmann, Leung and Schor — they will keep politics out of education.

OBITUARIES ROESCH

Bennett John Roesch

December 21, 1989-September 8, 2017 Bennett John Roesch, 27, of Santa Cruz, CA, passed away on September 8, 2017 due to a head injury following a fall.

Bennett was born to Ben and Cecelia (Kuisle) Roesch in Colorado Springs, CO on December 21, 1989.

From the time he was nine months old, Bennett loved to climb anything that was available to him. His love of nature took him on many walks, hikes, bike rides and camping trips from the mountains and forests of his beloved “Beauty Land” in Colorado to the beaches and rainforests of Puerto Rico where he spent his 5th grade year learning Spanish, swimming in the ocean and digging “big holes” in his beachside backyard.

Bennett loved to entertain people, especially kids, with his incredible talents for juggling and spinning fire, which he joyfully taught to anyone who was willing to learn. He spent his River Dell High School years in New Jersey and often traveled to New York City to practice juggling with world-class talents, even performing in an off-off Broadway show and many International Jugglers’ Association Festivals.

UC Santa Cruz drew Bennett to Santa Cruz, where he began his next

adventure. His contagious love of people, encyclopedic knowledge of information technology and willingness to patiently teach anyone who wanted to learn helped him land his “dream job” as a computer programmer at NextSpace. There, he had the opportunity to offer his free-spirited, kind, loving and caring personality to a community that welcomed and appreciated him. A truly unique creative personality, Bennett brought an original perspective to every project he was involved with. His enthusiasm, sense of humor, warmth and infectious ever-present smile, enabled him to forge friendships with people of all ages and from all walks of life.

Bennett was a catalyst for creativity and collaboration among his friends.

He loved to use games to help bring people together, inventing around a dozen games in his own idiosyncratic

MILES

style, such as “Sentence, Picture, Sentence.” Caught up in his own excitement, he would sometimes use these games to connect to complete strangers walking down the street, bringing smiles, laughs and interesting, impromptu conversations from many (and strange looks from some!). He loved dancing and dressing up and was an outspoken proponent of “Fancy Fridays.” He was an avid reader and always had “the right book” to give to someone who he thought would benefit from reading it.

He thrived on learning new things and new ideas, and could never understand why others weren’t as eager to learn as he was.

In the wake of his death, many, many wonderful people have expressed that Bennett brought a brightness into their lives and he facilitated get-togethers where he changed the way they looked at the world, their relationships and

their work in life. He challenged each of us to do more, think bigger, be better, love more and “make cool stuff.”

He burned brightly and touched the hearts and minds of many who knew him no matter how short or long. May his light and love be carried forward in each person whose life he touched.

He is survived by his parents, Ben and Cecelia (Kuisle) Roesch, Castle Rock, CO; his sisters, Jennifer (Dr. Ryan) Riggs and Tracy (Dr. Nathan) Wilkes; his nieces and nephew, Kylee Riggs, Sophie and Mason Wilkes, twenty aunts and uncles, about a hundred cousins and countless friends who loved him.

A memorial service will be held at 1:00 P.M., Friday, September 22nd at Harwood Chapel, 516 N. 10th Canon City, CO, with a celebration of life to follow.

His Funeral Mass will be officiated

by Fr. Gary Kennedy on Saturday, September 23 at 10:30 A.M., at St. Anthony Chapel at St. Michaels Catholic Church , 1029 College Ave, Cañon City, CO 81212. Interment to follow at Assumption Cemetery, Silver Cliff, CO., 81252. Arrangements entrusted to Harwood Funeral Home. Online condolences at harwoodfunerals.com.

Barbara Treadway Miles

May 1, 1931 – September 15, 2017

With the passing of Barbara Treadway Miles on September 15th, the world lost a very special person. You could count on her for helping out anyone who was in need. She was known to drive to the other side of Denver to take a long time friend to a doctor’s visit, or hold a nervous friend’s hand who had to get an injection. Not only was she there for her friends, but she truly loved helping people.

Barbara was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, the youngest of five children, on May 1, 1931. She was the May Day baby. In her early years during the depression, her family moved to r Lexa and Bee Branch, Arkansas. In h the 1940’s her family decided to move to California and settled in Salinas.

As a young teen, she got a group of classmates to help the USO with packing Christmas boxes for the GI’s.

They baked enough cookies and other treats that the USO gave the girls a

special pin for their volunteerism at the end of the war.

She met her husband, Samuel Miles, in high school and married in 1951. As a Marine, he and Barbara spent most of their married life moving from place to place every two to three years. In 1968 they moved to Maryland where Sam started work as a civil service employee for the Defense Department and Barbara went to work for the Army Finance Division.

In 1974 they moved to Arvada, Colorado where Sam worked at Buckley until his retirement. In 1994 she moved to Castle Rock after the death of her husband. Barbara began to volunteer for

MOW and at the Castle Rock Senior Center where she became a very large part of all the activities. She served as Treasurer, as well as being a Front Desk receptionist. She also worked with the garden club.

Later on Barbara was very active in playing Trivia and was very successful playing penny poker. She has watched the Center grow since it’s days of meeting in a church where she was active with the VOA and Meals on Wheels.

She was also a member of Civitan and eventually became their Treasurer.

Through Civitan she worked at the Castle Rock Rodeo, cooking and serving hamburgers every year, popping popcorn at Movie Nights in Castle

Rock, cleaning up the local parks, and taking part in the Ducky Derby. She was also a bell ringer during Christmas time to help out the Salvation Army.

Barbara developed a great sense of adventure through her living in many places. She has traveled to England, Scotland, Ireland, Australia (twice), Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, France, and Switzerland. She loved taking cruises with friends from the Center and her sisters. Some of the cruises included Alaska, Montreal and the Mediterranean.

Barbara has four children, Barbara Christensen of Tumwater, Washington, Karen Brown of Aurora, Colorado, Steven Miles of Meyersville, Maryland and Eric Miles of Orlando, Florida. She has 9 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.

LETTERS FROM PAGE 14

Slate will support teachers Improving our special education programs across DougCo is a subject close to my heart. I’m the mom of a son who required special education services. Thanks to school choice offered by DougCo, we were able to search for the best placement for him. Unfortunately, at that time, DougCo was not equipped to meet his particular needs. But, through hard work, perseverance and prayer, I am proud that our son now attends Colorado School of Mines.

As a health care professional myself who offers services for kids with ADHD, autism, and other issues, I am supporting the Elevate Douglas County team with Debora Scheffel because I believe she and the others provide the best opportunity to improve special education programs here as well as the very best education for all kids.

Deb taught special ed kids here in Douglas County, got her master’s in special education from DU and then her Ph.D. She’s also done postdoctoral work in the link between language and learning. No other candidate can match her level of preparation and professional expertise.

She was also a member of the Colorado State Board of Education, and now serves as dean of Colorado Christian University’s School of

Education, teaching future teachers.

Many educators claim 1 out 6 kids require some sort special services.

It takes a special teacher with a special school to optimize the talents of a special child.

I have confidence that Deb Scheffel and the other Elevate candidates — Randy Mills, Ryan Abresch and Grant Nelson — will give us the leadership needed to improve learning for all. These candidates and I, as a parent and former teacher’s aide, sympathize with the tremendous challenge for teachers to meet the needs of all students, from those with special challenges, to the average student, to those who are advanced. I know the Elevate Douglas County School Board candidates will give all our teachers the support they need.

Cynthia Dalton Lone Tree Teachers must be valued I’m a mom of two kids who graduated from Douglas County Schools and I believe that Graziano, Holtzmann, Leung and Schor will work collaboratively to ensure our teachers are valued, parents are respected and kids are given the opportunity to thrive.

My kids were fortunate to have great teachers throughout their Douglas County experience. I want future generations to have that same experience and benefit from great teachers like my kids did.

All voters should be informed During the 2017-18 school year, there are crucial issues facing taxpayers. There is a school board election and possible vote to increase taxes to support our schools in 2018. Many of these issues focus on communicating with parents and informing them. Schools host candidate forums to learn about what individuals running have in store for the future of our schools.

These learning forums lack communication with the majority of voters and educating the 70 percent of non-parent taxpayers.

The majority of communication is after the fact. Efforts need to be made to inform all stakeholders so that all can make informed decisions and not rely on who spends the most money pushing their slate of candidates. Communicate and get the 70 percent informed. If candidate forums are held, communicate to all stakeholders in your attendance area and not just parents.

Dave Usechek Parker Let’s reward extra effort A recent article in this publication implied that Superintendent Erin Kane is supporting pay-forperformance because it’s associated with rewarding teacher effort when she says, “We want to talk to our employees about what it is that motivates them and makes them want to bring their A-game every day”. The point is it doesn’t matter if every teacher brings their A LTAC_CCM_9.22.17.pdf 1 9/22/2017 11:23:51 AM game every day, teachers can never

be equal. She simply meant it’s teacher motivation that “makes our kids winners”. Next, I dismiss the parent who said, “I hope you never have to dry the tears of a 5-year-old when she learns that her beloved teacher is leaving”. This says more about the kind of non-dedicated teacher who would leave a classroom of 5-year-olds. That’s the kind of teacher you don’t want.

My experience leaves me unsympathetic with the many teachers who “have expressed dissatisfaction with salaries, competition among teachers because salaries are tied to subjects they teach, and hours of time spent on evaluations.” For most professions, compensation is directly tied to putting in an extra effort with willingness for inconvenience. I don’t know of any other profession where this attitude is held as a standard.

My belief is that it’s unfair to suspend pay-for-performance for teachers but continue it for secretaries, instructional assistants and food service workers. I disagree with board member Wendy Vogel, who likewise opposes it, but for the wrong reason. She says it pits “classified and licensed employees against each other.” Wrong, and the Dream Team candidates are aligned with her, Lemieux, and Ray on this and just about every issue.

I support the Elevate Douglas County slate of Randy Mills, Ryan Abresch, Debora Scheffel and Grant Nelson.

Sometimes we believe we already know the answers, and some of us already know all of the answers, if you don’t believe us, just ask us. But the best part about asking questions when we believe we already know the answer, is that it gives the other person a chance to share their opinion and it also shows them respect.

Asking questions also helps us to stay out of arguments that are fueled by anger or prejudice of any kind. If we sense that we may not be on the same page when it comes to our opinions, we never have to arm wrestle anyone or place a stake in the ground about our own position or point of view. We can easily make that known calmly, professionally and politely by asking questions instead of espousing our opinions or drawing any kind of line in the sand. Is there a place for a good oldfashioned debate? Absolutely, but if you watch great debates, the person who typically wins is the person who asks the best questions in return or asks clarifying questions so that they know how to respond or answer.

Sometimes when I hear about relationships suffering I often hear that one person has stated their position or opinion and even possibly an ultimatum. Definitely not the best recipe for discussing something as important as the future of a relationship. Instead of stating something in a demanding or inconsiderate way, maybe something like, “I work all day too, I cook the dinner, and I wash the clothes. I really need you to step up and do something.” (Expletives

excluded intentionally). What if it sounded differently, “Can I ask you a question? With my heavy workload I can really use some help around the house. I know you work hard too, but is there something you can do to help me or something we can do together that would make things easier on both of us around here?”

Building on the thought of asking questions in relationships, think about each time we make that simple yet so very powerful statement, “I love you.” Here is what it might sound like in question form, “Do you know why I love you?” Most humble and normal people would respond with, “I think so, but tell me more.”

And now we have an opportunity to put even greater depth and meaning behind our “I love you” statement.

Using questions instead of statements will usually result in more meaningful conversations and provide so much more clarity and insights. And, by the way, when we ask questions instead of making statements that can be challenged, most people will think we are the smartest people in the room.

So how about you, are you used to just sharing your opinion or making a statement first? Or do you make it a best practice of asking questions first, and asking the right questions that would reveal your position and point of view? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can find the answers we seek through the right questions, it really will be a better than good week.

DANCING FROM PAGE 12

Square dancing caller Bill Heiny sends dancers spinning across the floor.

DAVID GILBERT

attraction at Greg Reinke’s annual Turkey Leg & Wine Hoedown in Downtown Littleton.

The most fun way to learn is by doing, said Bill Heiny, who’s been calling dances for 17 years, though he said there are any number of books and YouTube tutorials to provide an intro to the shy.

Calling, however, is a skill that can only be passed down, he said.

“You have to apprentice,” Heiny said. “I started singing along to the callers in my club, and one took me under his wing and mentored me.”

Heiny said calling clicks in his brain, because as a retired computer programmer, “it’s all about patterns.”

“This is like puzzle solving,” he said. “I’m moving people, keeping my eye on them, and thinking about where I’m putting them.”

Square dancing has a Colorado connection: From its origins in medieval Europe, square dancing took on new popularity in colonial America, and over time, dozens of local iterations — with unique and untranslatable calls — formed in regions around the country. By the early decades of the 20th century, though, the dance was dying out.

Enter Lloyd “Pappy” Shaw, a Colorado Springs high school teacher, who roamed the country in the 1930s, learning the variety of styles and consolidating them into a standardized form.

‘I started singing along to the callers in my club, and one took me under his wing and mentored me.’

Bill Heiny, caller

Shaw spent decades teaching his new style, and trained a new generation of dancers and callers credited with leading a postwar revival of the dance.

For dancers, though, square dancing isn’t so much about preserving a legacy as it is about blowing off steam.

“It completely takes you away from your work,” said Jim Taylor, a Mountaineer with a lengthy list of titles in the club. “If you’re square dancing, you have no time to focus on your stress.”

And there’s plenty of room on the dance floor, Heiny said.

“We’d love for more people to come dance with us.”

School of Mines students thinking big with tiny homes

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

They may be small, but tiny homes are a huge thing right now.

And Colorado School of Mines is making one that’s even more futuristic.

“We’re putting a science-y twist on a pop culture thing,” said Katie Schneider, a junior at Mines majoring in engineering physics.

The Mines Tiny House is a 220-square-foot dwelling that utilizes some of the latest in energy efficient and sustainable technology.

“We’re very focused on being netzero,” Schneider said, who has been involved with the Mines Tiny Home since her freshman year in 2015.

Students have been working on the project for nearly two years. It is an extracurricular project, and all the work has been done after school and on weekends.

Expected completion date will be sometime next spring. Once finished, some of the features will be a composting toilet, automated window shades controlled by a mobile device and a water efficient shower head. It will be propane-free — completely powered by solar — and not even hooked up to utilities.

Timothy Ohno, associate professor of physics and faculty advisor for Mines Tiny House, estimates the value of the home to be about $40,000 or $50,000 once complete.

After it’s finished, the tiny home will have a permanent place on campus and used as a classroom and meeting space, as well as an educational and outreach tool in the community, said Emilie Rusch, public information specialist for Mines.

There’s been probably between 120 and 150 students who have been involved with the Mines Tiny Home in some way, Ohno said, but the core group has been about 20 students. All majors and classes are represented, Schneider added, but a couple challenges have been that everyone is a fulltime student, and none of them are construction majors. In fact, Mines does not have construction management or architecture programs offered in the curriculum.

“It’s been a learn-as-we-go project,” Schneider said. “For the most part, it’s been a bunch of engineers thinking about what would be a good placement for a kitchen.”

But, she added, it’s something to be incredibly proud of.

“It’s a very unique project,” Schneider said. “It’s something Mines has never done before.”

In fact, the Mines Tiny Home will be on display at the Sustainability Expo part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon this year. The Solar Decathlon is a collegiate competition that challenges student teams to design and build full-size, solar-powered houses.

The Sustainability Expo is a consumerfacing exposition showcasing energy solutions and services.

This is the first year for the event to come to Denver, Ohno said, adding it

The Mines Tiny Home, a net-zero, 220-square-foot dwelling being built by students attending the Colorado School of Mines, will be on display at the Sustainability Expo part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon, which this year takes place Oct. 5-9 and Oct. 12-15.

PHOTO COURTESY OF COLORADO SCHOOL OF MINES

IF YOU GO… The U.S. Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon is open to the public from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 5-8, 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 9 and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 12-15.

It will be located at 61st Avenue and Pena Station near Denver International Airport.

It is a free event.

For more information, visit www.solardecathlon.gov. usually takes place in Washington D.C. or California.

“It’s a very exciting event for us, as a state, to host,” he said.

For the expo, the desire is to demonstrate the students builidng process, Ohno said. The solar panels and battery will be installed, and some of the framing will be done.

“Visitors will be able to get a behindthe-scenes look at the construction process and the decisions that went into maximizing every square inch of space for livability and energy efficiency,” Rusch said.

To compete in the Solar Decathlon, it takes at least five faculty advisors, and a typical team is about 150 students, Ohno said. The competition is made up of 10 contests that blends design excellence and smart energy production with innovation, market potential, and energy and water efficiency.

“The teams really need two to three years to prepare for it,” he added.

But, Ohno added, participating in the expo will build moral. And building the tiny home will help prepare students for the next Solar Decathlon in 2020 — and Mines is planning on competing that year, Ohno said.

For many of the students involved with the Mines Tiny Home, it’s become a passion project, Schneider said.

“I’ve never been interested in going to energy — I am a physics major pursuing an aerospace career,” she said. But “this just struck my eye as something unique. Everything I’m learning, from working with industry professionals to how to best insulate my home and what windows to buy, will have a huge impact on my life moving forward.”

‘When it comes to injuries, listen to your body’

West Metro Fire Rescue’s EMTs and paramedics familiarize themselves with the latest equipment and gear football players use during an Aug. 18 training session. The fire department worked with emergency room doctors from St. Anthony Hospital to help prepare for responding to injuries commonly seen during football season. CHRISTY STEADMAN

Experts share sports injury prevention advice

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

B

efore entering her career, Julie Nickoley’s studies at Metro State required her to get clinical hours at different colleges and high schools across Colorado, where she worked with a professional to get onthe-job training. During these clinical hours, she diagnosed the first of three broken necks she has seen throughout her career as an athletic trainer.

The college football player was hit hard in the first quarter of the game, she said, but didn’t tell anyone about his neck pain. Then, he got hit again in the fourth quarter and finally pulled himself out of the game.

“He basically played the entire game with a broken neck,” said Nickoley, who is now the head athletic trainer for the Colorado Storm, a statewide youth soccer association.

This particular athlete — Nickoley wouldn’t identify him by name or which college he played for — was very lucky, she added. He wasn’t paralyzed and the spinal cord wasn’t damaged.

From bruises to broken bones, even the most experienced athletes are prone to injury. But there is some preventative advice out there.

First and foremost, it’s important to

5 TIPS TO AVOID SPORTS INJURIES • Get the gear. For any sport, the proper gear and protective equipment can protect athletes from injuries.

• Condition and stretch. Make sure your entire body is conditioned — not just the muscles being used in the particular sport or training.

• Play safe. Avoid reckless play and follow the rules when playing sports.

• Take a break. Even if it’s only one day a take care of your body, Nickoley said.

“The biggest thing I see with successful athletes is how they take care of their bodies,” she said. But “you don’t have to be a competitive athlete or have a background in sports to take care of your body.”

Nutrition and exercise are important for everyone’s health, Nickoley said.

Whether it be taking a walk in your neighborhood or going to the local rec center for a swim, everyone should get their heart rate up for at least 30 minutes a day.

Active people have lower rates of obesity, heart disease, diabetes and even some emotional problems such as depression and anxiety, said Heidi Christensen, medical director of Primary Care Sports Medicine for Centura Health. And for younger people, playing sports can help with self-esteem and socialization.

“Injuries can happen, but being ac-

week, it’s important to take some time off from training.

• Educate yourself. Coaches, athletic trainers and other sports medicine professionals are always happy to have conversations with athletes and provide advice.

Sources: Julie Nickoley, athletic trainer for Colorado Storm, and Heidi Christensen, medical director of Primary Care Sports Medicine for Centura Health tive and playing sports outweigh the risks,” Christensen said. “As long as you don’t play or exercise beyond your personal capabilities, you can help safeguard against injuries.”

When injuries happen West Metro Fire Rescue’s EMTs and paramedics started a three-week training session on Aug. 18, during which about 280 people worked with emergency room doctors from St. Anthony Hospital to help prepare for responding to injuries commonly seen during football season.

The training focused on new procedures in preparing injured players for the emergency room and/or potential surgeries, and familiarizing themselves with the latest equipment and gear football players use.

“We’re finding that as the equipment changes, so must our practice,” said Mike Binney, the fire department’s

EMS training lieutenant. “In the metro area, we want to be prepared for whatever we have to show up to.”

It might not always require a trip to the emergency room, Christensen said, it is always important to get a proper diagnosis from somebody who is professionally trained to do so that that treatment or rehab can start right away.

But “it’s not just about treating the injury to get the clear to return to the sport,” Christensen added. “It’s getting the proper tools to prevent a recurring injury.”

Too many people get right back into the sport as soon as the pain goes away, but this puts that person at a higher risk of reinjuring themselves, Christensen said.

People tend to sustain serious injuries because they pushed themselves above and beyond what they were conditioned for, Christensen said.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, just becoming more active or beginning to train for a new sport, “it’s always a good rule of thumb to increase the level of activity gradually,” Christensen said.

But because athletes typically love their sport, they will often push the limits, Nickoley said.

“They love what they’re doing.

They’ll do whatever they can to keep playing,” she said. “And the body can handle a lot. But especially when it comes to injuries, listen to your body.”

Siegel celebrates 30 years of keyboard conversations at Arvada Center

I

LINER NOTES

Clarke Reader

t seems like everybody took a piano lesson or two in their lives.

I did for years, learning how to play some of my favorite Vince Guaraldi “Peanuts” songs, as well as the piano versions of some of my favorite pop songs at the time — stuff like the Dave Matthews Band.

As with everything, it all comes down to having a great teacher. I certainly did.

And for the past 30 years, Jeffrey Siegel has served as a proxy piano teacher to hundreds who came to his Keyboard Conversations at the Arvada Center. But instead of teaching how to play, he gives audiences a window into classical music and composers.

“Thirty years is a milestone in this disposable society,” Siegel said with a laugh.

“They haven’t disposed of me yet.”

An internationally known pianist, Siegel has been a soloist with many of the world’s top orchestras, including the Berlin Philharmonic, London Symphony, New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Moscow State Symphony, Munich’s Bayerischer Rundfunk, and the Amsterdam, Oslo and Stockholm Philharmonic.

Siegel kicks off his 30th season at the center on Oct. 4 with a focus on Leonard Bernstein, and will be hosting programs on music inspired by the night, storytelling through music, and the repertoire of masters like Beethoven, Liszt and Prokofiev during the season.

But it’s not only about the performances for Siegel. It’s about the whole picture. He answers audiences’ questions, gives history

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Hiss Golden Messenger’s “Hallelujah Anyhow,” released on Merge Records.

Review: Sometimes when a musician is too prolific, I worry that it’s a sign they’re running out of good ideas, and just releasing anything they can. That’s not the case with Hiss Golden Messenger, whose latest effort comes out just a year after 2016’s fantastic “Heart Like a Levee.” “Hallelujah Anyhow” is leaner than that album, but it’s also more focused, catchier and wryer. I can’t get enough of the group, and can’t wait to see if he pulls a threepeat next year.

Favorite song: “Jenny of the Roses” Best song with “domino” in the title since Van Morrison: “ Domino (Time Will Tell) “

and context to composers, pieces and musical eras, and shares stories.

Think of it as a one-off music education class. I know I always find more in a piece of music, classical or otherwise, if I know what the musician intended, or was experiencing at the time.

“Sometimes people have very specific questions, but often they’re happily general,” Siegel said. “So many would like the opportunity to ask a question of the performer on stage, but that opportunity never happens.”

Classical music can be particularly intimidating for the uninitiated, which is why this guided approach is so effective for Siegel. And it has led to some of his favorite memories at the Center, like when students, who normally wouldn’t be the interested in classical, came backstage to share how much the music moved them.

“I was so touched the music brought them backstage,” Siegel remembers. “Classical music can be like water on the desert. Even if a person isn’t a sophisticated concert goer, the music still gets through to them.”

The interaction with his audience is what has kept Siegel coming back for three decades, as is knowing he’s giving people an entry-point to a genre that is all about humanity. And in an age of digitalization when everyone has their eyes on a screen, that matters.

“We’re living today in the most robotic society ever. For a thinking, feeling person, there’s a greater need for something that really touches one, moves one, that cannot be gotten off a screen,” he said. “It’s about, as Bernstein called it, the ‘transformative power of music.’ It’s more necessary than ever before.”

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he would totally sign on for a Keyboard Conversation on Vince Guaraldi. Check out his music blog at calmacil20.blogspot.com.

Exhibit pairs poets, artists

BY STAFF REPORT

Poetry and art have combined for the “Draft: Ekphrastic Art” exhibit on display through Oct. 31 in the Bellco Art Gallery at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., Parker.

A selection of the writer-and-artist teams will read and share their work from 6-8 p.m. Oct. 6 at the artist reception and reading. In addition to poetry readings and artist meet-and-greets, the reception will include music, food and a cash bar. It is free and open to the public.

“We teamed up artists and writers to see what came out of those collaborations, and the results are amazing,” said Rose Fredrick, PACE Center curator.

While the writers and artists hail from incredibly diverse backgrounds and styles, the final works produced are uniquely rooted in their own creative mediums while simultaneously sharing space in a world they created in tandem.

Though this show has about half the number of paintings of a typical exhibition, it is artistically loaded.

“Patrons should plan to give the collaborative artist duos plenty of time so they can take you on a journey into their worlds and to experience how words and pictures, when situated together, `speak’ to one another,” Frederick said.

Book delves deep into history of Douglas County Castle Rock Writers Group divided topics about plethora of locations

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Frankstown, Pine Valley, Plum, Cherry Valley, Spring Valley, Westcreek, Louviers, Roxborough, Larkspur … some are names we use today and others remain attached to older images and maps. But all are part of the Douglas County story, as most recently told by the Castle Rock Writers Group in a book published at the end of August.

Group members were each responsible for a chapter of historic photos and copy about the towns that have evolved, and the introduction is written by Shaun Boyd, archivist at the Douglas County History Research Center. In addition to landscapes and structures, we learn about cowboys — and girls, miners, teachers, developers, business people, kids who were expected to earn their keep early on and interesting interactions among the above — sometimes on horseback and often by walking for many miles …

The cover photo depicts a pair of fashionable Edwardian ladies

exclaiming over the beauty of rock formations at what is now Roxborough State Park. Henry Persse named the area for his family home in Ireland — an area that he hoped to develop into a luxury resort for wealthy Easterners, but at first featured a brick factory. His special formula for bricks died with him when he was killed by a tram in downtown Denver in 1918, according to writer Susan Trumble, who compiled Chapter Eight.

Debbie Buboltz and Derald Hoffman produced the first chapter: “Castle Rock, County Seat Takes Shape,” with a photo of the iconic formation behind early buildings and a story about how six sections were laid out by Jeramiah Gould and John Craig. The depot followed, and the Masonic temple, a rooming house, school and soon, Wilcox Street. Products from the stone quarry south of town are seen throughout the metro area.

Also distributed through the metro area were dairy products. Milk cans were hauled to creameries which shipped them to Denver via train or wagon — or made cheeses for sale (see Larkspur and others.)

“Franktown and Southeastern Valleys: From Seeking Gold to Homesteading” is compiled by James Hansmann, Kathleen McCoy and Elizabeth Wallace. Originally, it

was called Frankstown, after James Frank Gardner, entrepreneur and politician.

Chapter Three: “Highlands Ranch, Daniels Park and Castle Pines, Wildcat Mountains Tamed,” by Peggy A. Cummings, includes photos of the hunt at the Phipps Ranch, surrounding the present location of the beautifully restored Highlands Ranch Mansion. Included: a young early child Phillips family member, mounted on a pet pony in front of the mansion’s fireplace.

“Larkspur, Perry Park and Greenland: Douglas County’s Dairyland” are described by James Hansmann as tranquil green meadows, with fresh, healthful mountain air — a health and tourist mecca as well as productive ranch land. Shades of former inhabitants include one of the ancient, curious, bent, manipulated trees the Utes used for messaging and worship.

“Lone Tree and Happy Canyon, From One Small Tree” by Kathleen McCoy includes photos of the Schweiger property, which has been carefully restored. Since the original tree was not found, a blue spruce was planted at the corner of Lincoln and Yosemite on Arbor Day, 1998.

Chapter Six is about Louviers and the DuPont Company’s role in Colorado, written by Alice Aldridge-

Dennis. Some buildings pictured are still standing.

“Parker: The 20 Mile Landmark” is by Kathleen McCoy and Elizabeth Wallace talks about a town on the route of the Gold Rush. Originally called Pine Grove, it has Ute history as well.

“Sedalia, Town at the Crossroads,”

by Laura Smallegan Adema, talks about an early settlement at the junction of East and West Plum Creeks, with orchards, the historic St. Philip’s Church and the legendary Bud’s Bar. The final chapter: “Western Region and Platte River: Rugged and Beautiful” is also by Adema and includes the Penley Ranch, partially on what was a Ute campground, now at the edge of Pike National Forest, and Diamond Jack, a gangster/cowboy (Leland Varain). Also in this section: Strontia Springs, submerged by a dam in Waterton Canyon.

Tidbits of local history invite further exploration in the many museums and private collections cited throughout, as well as nice Sunday drives. The book is priced at $21.99 and it should be available at events and locations throughout the county. (Including the 2017 Castle Rock Writers Conference on Oct. 20 and 21. See castlerockwriters.com.)

akewood’s Jack Castiglia will be making his fourth appearance in the Class 5A boys state golf tournament and the senior has something to prove.

Castiglia was this OVERTIME season’s Jefferson County League 5A medalist with a stroke average of 70, but he is the first to admit the two-day state tournament is different from regular season tourneys and the regional qualifying.

Jim Benton In the previous three state tournaments, Castiglia’s resume shows a tie for 37th place as a freshman then ties for 28th and 35th the next two years.

The Class 5A state tournament is scheduled for Oct. 2-3 at Common Ground Golf Course in Aurora.

“You can definitely feel a more competitive vibe,” said Castiglia. “Everyone is there because they deserve to be there after doing good in their regionals. Everyone is there to try to defend their school and play as well as possible.

It’s also run more professionally and it brings out the best golf in everybody.”

Castiglia was second in the 5A Western regional with an even-par 72 at the Broadlands Golf Course on Sept. 18 and the University of Northern Colorado commit is ready to show his ability in the biggest high school tourney of the season.

“I have something to prove,” he said.

“I definitely haven’t proved anything in the past three state tournaments. My freshman year I was young and actually didn’t play that bad. But my sophomore and junior years I didn’t play like I did during the season and didn’t show what I can do.

“I played good this year. I made a grip change after last year’s state and I’ve been working with it. I have to prove that I got used to it and I have to play as well as possible.”

There will be attention on several area golfers and teams that also have something to prove.

Arapahoe won the 5A Western regional qualifying tournament on Sept.

18 at Broadlands Golf Club and Heritage won the Southern regional at the Colorado Springs Country Club. Rock Canyon qualified its four-player team with a runner-up finish in the 5A Central at Plum Creek and Valor Christian was the 4A Region 4 champion in the tournament played Sept. 19 at the Colorado Springs Country Club. Lutheran was second to qualify as a team in the 3A region 1 meet at Hollydot.

Tommy Packer of Arapahoe fashioned a 1-under-par 71 to win the Western regionals individual title and SEE BENTON, P37

Castle View • The softball team scored an average of 10 runs in four previous games heading into the week of Sept 25.

• The volleyball team, top ranked in the CHSAANow.com 5A poll and unbeaten in 10 matches this season against Colorado opposition, had tough assignments in games against Highlands Ranch on Sept. 26 and Regis Jesuit on Sept. 28. (Both games were after press time.)

Local players headed to state golf tourney

BENTON FROM PAGE 32

Heritage’s Sam Blackwood was the co-medalist at the Southern regional with a 1-under-par 70.

Rock Canyon’s Kieran McMullen shared medalist honors at the Central regional.

Packer was 12th in the state tourney last season and Backwood tied for 24th.

Playing steady will be a key.

“You have to stay consistent and not make any big mistakes, especially at Common Ground,” explained Castiglia. “You have to take advantage of some of the easier holes because some of the holes coming down the stretch can really get to you.”

STAFF REPORT

Area qualifiers for the state high school golf tournaments. The Class 5A state tourney will held at Common Ground in Aurora, the 4A at Raccoon Creek in Littleton and the 3A at Indian Peaks in Lafayette. Each of the tournaments is Oct. 2 and 3.

Class 5A Team qualifiers Arapahoe, Heritage, Rock Canyon Individuals Arapahoe: Tommy Packer, Alex Yano, Jay Yano, Caleb Busta.

Castle View: Dillon Baker, Casey Jacobsen Chaparral: Bryce Howard, Tyler Mulligan Cherry Creek: Cade Kilkenny, Max Malden, Carter Kovarik, Grey Brewer Heritage: Sam Blackwood, Ben Carrington, Cameron Bajay, Parker McNitt

Frozen Four moves to Pepsi Center Semifinal games and the 2018 state boys hockey final will be held at the Pepsi Center.

The Colorado Avalanche will host the semifinal games at 5:30 and 7 p.m. on March 1 and the championship game on March 6, with the time to be determined.

Last season’s Frozen Four games were held at Magness Arena at the University of Denver.

17CW3122 PERRY PARK WATER AND SANITATION DISTRICT, A Colorado QuasiMunicipal Corporation. APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHT AND FOR INTEGRATION INTO EXISTING PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION IN DOUGLAS COUNTY Applicant Perry Park Water and Sanitation District, by and through its attorneys, Hill & Pollock, LLC, for its Amended Application for Change of Water Right and for Integration into Existing Plan for Augmentation Plan states as follows: GENERAL 1.1 The name and address of the Applicant is: Perry Park Water & Sanitation District 5676 West Red Rock Drive Larkspur, Colorado 80118 Please forward all correspondence or inquiries regarding this matter to: Alan G. Hill Ashley N. Pollock HILL & POLLOCK, LLC 1528 Wazee Street Denver, Colorado 80202 1.2 Applicant seeks a decree in this matter changing the water right decreed to the Ahimaaz Gove Ditch, a/k/a Ahlmaaz Gove Ditch (hereinafter “Gove Ditch”), as more particularly described herein, and integration of said changed water rights into the Plan for Augmentation decreed to Perry Park Water and Sanitation District in Case No. 89CW225, Water Division No. 1, entered on November 22, 1994. 1.3 The land and water rights involved herein are not included within the boundaries of any designated ground water basin. 1.4 Applicant is a water and sanitation district organized under the laws of Colorado. Approximately 8,700 acres of land in Douglas County, Colorado are included within the boundaries of the Applicant's current service area. A major portion of the Applicant's service area consists of platted subdivisions.

The Applicant currently provides water and sewer services to residents within the current service area. Wastewater is treated at the Waucondah Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) and the Sageport Wastewater Treatment Facility (SWTF). Wastewater collected from the western portion of the Applicant's service area is treated at WWTF and discharged as treated effluent to Bear Creek, a tributary of West Plum Creek. Wastewater collected from the eastern portion of the Applicant's service area is treated at the SWTF and discharged as treated effluent to East Plum Creek. 1.5 Existing Plan for Augmentation. The decree in Case No. 89CW225 approves a plan for augmentation which allows tributary ground water to be withdrawn from various tributary wells for municipal uses. Replacement of out-of-priority depletions resulting from this withdrawal and use of tributary ground water is made from the historical consumptive use of certain tributary water rights previously used for irrigation, by treated wastewater return flows generated by the Applicant's municipal uses, or by direct discharge to the stream of nontributary ground water. The plan for augmentation also provides for storage of replacement water in the existing Waucondah Reservoir, the proposed Waucondah Reservoir No. 2, and the proposed Gravel Pit Reservoir. The stored water may be subsequently released as an additional augmentation water source. The Applicant adjusts its use of tributary and nontributary water sources in its potable water supply system in order to generate wastewater return flows which in combination with the Applicant's other replacement water sources are sufficient to replace and

by direct discharge to the stream of nontributary ground water. The plan for augmentation also provides for storage of replacement water in the existing Waucondah Reservoir, the proposed Waucondah Reservoir No. 2, and the proposed Gravel Pit Reservoir. The stored water may be subsequently released as an additional augmentation water source. The Applicant adjusts its use of tributary and nontributary water sources in its potable water supply system in order to generate wastewater return flows which in combination with the Applicant's other replacement water sources are sufficient to replace and offset out-of-priority depletions caused by the Applicant's use of tributary ground water. 1.6 Applicant seeks, in this application, to change the water right decreed to the Gove Ditch from irrigation to multiple uses, including municipal, augmentation and replacement, as more fully described in Paragraph 2.7, for diversion at alternate points of diversion and storage, and to integrate the consumptive use associated with this water right as a replacement water source into the previously approved augmentation plan.

Applicant proposes that the accounting of the use of Applicant’s Gove Ditch water right, which is the subject of this Application, will be added to, and integrated in the Applicant’s existing plan for augmentation accounting. Applicant is not seeking to reopen, or in any way modify, the terms and conditions decreed in Case No. 89CW225; instead, Applicant is seeking to quantify the historical consumptive use associated with the Gove Ditch water right, and incorporate that consumptive use water as an augmentation and replacement source.

The Perry Park Country Club is the current operator of, and owner of most of the water decreed to Waucondah Reservoir. The Applicant has obtained permission from the Perry Park Country Club to store water in the reservoir by virtue of a Storage Agreement dated April 20, 1992. Applicant is not claiming a storage priority with respect to Waucondah Reservoir.
