A teachers’ union has not participated in collective-bargaining negotiations with the Douglas County School District since 2012, but for some teachers, it still pays to be a member.

“The main reason I am a union member and support the union is very simple,” said Kelli Eastmond, a kindergarten teacher at Arrowwood Elementary in Highlands Ranch. “No one else has my back. No one else will fight for me. With all that is going on in this district, I need someone who supports me and is taking care of me and my best interest.”

The previous collective-bargaining agreement between the school district and the Douglas County Federation had been in place in various forms for 47 years before it expired after negotiations failed in 2012. Until then, the union and district had enjoyed a relationship that was acclaimed nationally for its collaboration and willingness to work together, helping produce one of the nation’s first pay-for-performance programs in 1994.

But the 2009 election of a conservative school board, which saw unions as serving national political interests rather than focusing on local teachers’ issues and development, eventually led to the collapse of that relationship in 2012.

Although some incumbent board members who lost their bids for Union continues on Page 11

Teen back in spotlight amid cancer fight While undergoing chemo, Dalton Levine returns to dance in classic holiday ballet

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com It was nearly one year ago that Dalton Levine was flown by helicopter to a medical center after performing in “The Nutcracker.”

He was undergoing treatment for adrenal cancer and was playing a smaller role than normal when he had a major health setback.

Looking back, the 17-year-old says he was “pretty close to not making it.”

So when Levine is asked if he’s nervous to return to the spotlight for this year’s rendition of “The Nutcracker of Parker” at the PACE

Center Dec. 17-20, he’s very matter-of-fact.

“There’s a lot I’ve had to overcome the past year, so my nerves have definitely been…” he trails off. “It’s very small compared to what I’ve done before.”

Levine was diagnosed Sept. 11, 2014, and has been battling cancer ever since. He started another round of chemotherapy in July and his oncologists continue to radiate any spots on his lungs that pop up in scans. The Legend High School senior still gets tired on occasion and is fighting radiation pneumonitis, which leaves him with less-than-optimal lung capacity and a persistent cough. But the cancer is in a “controlled state,” Levine says, and he’s feeling pretty good.

He’s eager to get back on stage with his castmates from the Colorado School of Levine continues on Page 8

12 Stops of Christmas urges residents to shop local

FACES AMONG US Amanda Purvis works at The Adoption Exchange, an organization that places children in adoptive homes.

HELLO

...

My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community

AMANDA PURVIS

Mother, blogger, neuroscience geek Growing our family I grew up in Colorado. I went to school in Denver and became a social worker. I worked at The Rock in Castle Rock and met my husband there. About five years after we got married, we moved to Castle Rock. We had one little boy, biologically, and he was born with birth defects. We always knew that we wanted to adopt, so we decided we would do that moving forward. We fostered about 11 kids, three of whom ended up staying forever and we adopted them. Today, I have five children ages 10, 7, 6, 4 and 3. Two are biological and three are adopted. We’re also about to

have three teenagers move in with us at the end of the month that we’re going to adopt.

Helping kids Now I work at The Adoption Exchange, which is an organization that helps kids get placed on adoptive homes. I also help run the post-adoption process. My passion is helping kids find homes and supporting families who have kids who have suffered trauma.

Teaching parents I’m a neuroscience geek. I teach, locally, different parenting classes on how to raise healthy brains — helping parents understand the best way to parent. I teach mostly though my organization called Emerge Family Connection.

Notes from the neighborhood My best friend and I, we have a blog called Notes from the Neighborhood. We blog about everything — parenting, adoption, being terrible housewives, friendship, travel, chickens ... We do features, too.

The Season of the Star brings seven new events to downtown Castle Rock including the 12 Stops of Christmas, a shopping scavenger hunt that encourages residents to visit each participating downtown business, gather stamps and be entered to win a prize package from the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Alliance and the town.

The first 12 Stops of Christmas event was held Nov. 28, coinciding with Small Business Saturday, and a second one will be held Saturday, Dec. 12.

“The holidays are a special time in Castle Rock,” said Casey Willis, special events manager for the Town of Castle Rock. “With the traditional lighting of the star in November, we know our community shines particularly bright this time of year, and we wanted to keep the festivities going with the new Season of the Star event series.”

The series was designed to provide family-friendly activities during the holiday season and to encourage people to visit downtown businesses.

No data on the economic impact of the shopping event has been collected yet, but Jason Bower, owner of Castle Rock Music, one of the business participants in the Nov. 28 event, said that was a huge day for his shop.

It’s hard to tell, however, if the boom in business was because of the 12 Stops event or because the

shop’s Small Business Saturday promotion was free restringing of guitars for residents. Either way, Bower said he was happy to participate.

“I try to participate in anything we do collectively as a downtown because it’s so different and special here,” Bower said. “Really, 99.9 percent of the businesses downtown are locally operated, and whatever is good for downtown is good for my business.”

Other businesses that participated Nov. 28 were The Emporium, Bling!, Lost Coffee, Copperfalls, Arts on Fire, Castle Rock Florist, Multicopter Warehouse, Castle Rock Beer Company, Rink at the Rock, Bennington Mercantile and Union Bistro.

Participants in the Dec. 12 event are Aloha Salon, Nick Lucey, Castle Rock Bike & Ski, The Smells Good Store, Enchanted Gifts, Castle Rock Florist, Finn LaFleur, The Barn, Lost Coffee, Angie’s Restaurant, Dream Pastries and Rock A My Baby.

“I’m looking forward to it,” said K.C. Need, co-owner of Castle Rock Bike & Ski and member of the Downtown Development Alliance. “I think it’s a great way to invite people to go into stores that they might not have gone in. In the winter, things slow down and I applaud the town’s efforts to bring in activities and drive business in downtown.”

Check-in for the event, which runs 4-7 p.m., will be at the North Pole Welcome Center in Festival Park, 300 Second St. Babysitting services are available at Rock A My Baby with reservations. The public is encouraged to take photos while attending all Season of the Star events and tag them with #SeasonoftheStar.

School board discusses changes to public comment policy Proposal would end five-minute limit for general comment

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com A proposed change to the public comment process at Douglas County school board meetings would eliminate the fiveminute limit for speaking at the end of meetings and allow more people to speak. The rest of the policy would remain largely the same.

“Quite honestly, a great portion of our public, regardless of what side they stand on with many issues, didn’t like or appreciate” the current policy, said board vice president Judith Reynolds, who introduced the changes on a first reading Dec. 1.

Parents, community members and the new board members have voiced concerns over the opportunity and process for public comment in recent months.

The topic will be discussed again at the Dec. 15 board meeting.

The policy was last changed in 2014 to al-

low for three minutes of public comment on board agenda items and a five-minute general public opportunity at the end of meetings. Speakers also must sign up online by 3 p.m. of the day of the meeting. Those who do not sign up cannot speak during the meeting.

The previous policy, which was implemented in 2009, had general public comment at the beginning of meetings and allowed speakers to sign up in person right before the meeting. The same three minutes were allotted for comment on agenda items.

Reynolds’ proposal doesn’t alter the three minutes allowed for agenda items — there is no limit on numbers of speakers for these — the time of public comment or the minute each for general public comment on non-agenda items. But by removing the fiveminute time limit, which essentially limits the number to five speakers, Reynolds’ proposal allows for an increase in the number of speakers.

The proposed policy states it will allow the board president to have more control over public comment and the ability to “limit the number of speakers expressing similar opinions on a particular topic.”

But not all board members think the changes are enough.

“The thinking that our agenda is more important than the comments at the end of the meeting, I don’t agree,” newly-elected board member David Ray said. “I think that is a little arrogant on our part to say that ‘on our agenda you get to talk for three minutes, but if you have a concern, you only have 60 seconds.’ I really detest the 60-second time limit.”

Board member James Geddes said some control over the public comment portion of meetings is needed to ensure business gets done.

“It has to be done responsibly because there has been a circumstance that can occur — and has occurred in the past — when the public comment begins to take over the meeting and we can’t get our business done in a timely manner,” Geddes said. “So there has to be some guidelines that are concrete.”

Anne-Marie Lemieux, recently elected to the board, favors allowing more time for public comment and has put forward the idea of returning general public comment to the beginning of meetings.

“When we start limiting numbers in that

way, then we aren’t listening to (the community’s) viewpoints and we are missing critical opportunities to make informed decisions,” Lemieux said.

Wendy Vogel, also newly elected, said it can be intimidating to address the board, and to only have a minute for general public comment is unreasonable.

“People want to be heard and to have to rush through something in a prescribed amount of time is not OK,” Vogel said.

Vogel said the board president can help move speakers along while still allowing them to speak their thoughts without pressure.

Cindy Barnard, of the group Taxpayers for Public Education, said the proposed new policy would only limit community input more.

“Although the proposed revision did remove the five-minute time frame for general public comment, the rest of it seemed to limit the community’s access to the board and public comment,” said Barnard, referring to the part of the policy that remains unchanged. “This seems to me like a solution in search or a problem rather than really opening up engagement to the community.”

Construction begins on Wolfensberger pedestrian bridge

Staff report Construction on the new Wolfensberger pedestrian bridge, which will connect Philip S. Miller Park and Ridgeline Open Space, began Dec. 3.

The bridge creates a continuous 17-mile native surface trail that will bring together more than 650 acres in park space.

Recognizing the importance of trail connectivity to the community, Castle Rock Town Council approved the contract earlier this year. Designing and building the project this year helped save the town more than $58,000 in materials and labor.

Developer National Covenant Properties also donated 2 acres of land for the bridge location, and the builder, DR Horton, will help with grading for the project.

The $702,750 project will be funded through the annual trail construction allocation from the Transportation Fund and remaining unexpended funds from the 2014 Budget for the Ridge Road and Crowfoot Valley Road/Founders Parkway sidepath project.

The connection also is an important component of a large future trail loop that will connect the East Plum Creek Trail with The Meadows and downtown.

The bridge will be similar to the Crystal Valley Parkway pedestrian bridge, but will be 25 feet longer and have a weathered steel finish to match the natural character of the surrounding open space. The bridge has already been constructed off-site and will be placed early next year. Temporary road closures will be in effect throughout the project.

Weather permitting, construction will occur alongside the Philip S. Miller Park phase two improvements. Both projects are expected to be completed in spring 2016.

Owners thank police, firefighters for saving their businesses

An electrical fire is believed to have started in the wall, said Terry Johnson, owner of the building and Forever Yours Photography.

“They figure that whoever put in the siding last put a nail through the wire and it’s just been waiting to go,” Johnson said.

“With the snow, a drop probably came down and sparked it.”

The building is more than 100 years old and has been used as a chapel and a saddlery.

“There’s a lot of history behind it,” Steele said. “It would’ve been a shame to lose it.”

Johnson, Steele and Theresa Sauvajeau, owner of Thru the Fairy Door, will show their gratitude to the fire and police departments with a party at 6 p.m. Dec. 15, at the building. The three business owners will award plaques and food baskets to the two officers along with Fire Chief Art Morales and the engine crew. The community is invited to join.

“The idea is to thank them for their quick reaction,” said Johnson. “If those policemen didn’t stop when they did, this whole building would be gone — not to mention the other little buildings in this park.”

Quick response to fire saved historic building on Perry Street

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com The quick actions of Castle Rock police officers and firefighters saved their businesses from being severely damaged by fire, said several business owners, who are thanking them with a party.

“We are so thankful for the Castle Rock Fire Department and Castle Rock Police Department,” said Jill Steele, owner of Animals Rock!, which occupies the front of the historic 504 building on Perry Street that also houses Forever Yours Photography and Thru the Fairy Door. “The building and our shops were saved because of them.”

Castle Rock police officers Shawn deLumeau and Steven Carney were making their rounds in downtown Castle Rock Nov. 11 when they smelled smoke coming from the building. They drove to the back of the building, where Forever Yours Photography was located, saw a fire and called the fire department, which quickly doused the flames before major damages occurred.

New board president pledges to bring together community New member Ray sought post as symbol of change

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Following a divisive election, Meghann Silverthorn, the new president of the Douglas County Board of Education, pledged to reach out to all sides, listen to differing viewpoints and work to bring together old and new members at the table.

“I will be a bridge between this board and the past board and move the community forward,” Silverthorn said.

Silverthorn She was elected board president over newcomer David Ray by a 4-3 vote at the Dec. 1 school board meeting. She replaces Kevin Larsen,

who was defeated in the November election.

Silverthorn, of Parker, first won election to the school board in 2009 and was re-elected in 2013.

Three of the seven school board members were elected for the first time in November and served at their first board meeting Dec. 1.

Ray, Anne-Marie Lemieux and Wendy Vogel each garnered nearly 60 percent of the vote, running as a slate that challenged the school district’s reform policies of the past several years.

Ray said the board had a chance to “do something symbolic” by electing him to the post that would help bring the community back together. Ray, a former teacher and principal in the district, has served as an educator for 25 years. “(I’m) definitely disappointed,” Ray said.

“I believe this was an opportunity to send a message that we are not a majority versus a minority board, but rather a united body

that puts the focus on our learners.”

The vote, however, reflected the reality that the majority on the board still sits with the incumbent members.

“I have not given up hope, though, as I believe the public conversations are far more important than the final vote,” Ray said. “I have received so many comments after our last board meeting from both community and teachers expressing their appreciation for finally hearing their voices represented. It would behoove all our board members to follow this new direction of seeking to understand our community and employees, and take action for the benefit of learners and to let go of personal agendas.”

Lemieux echoed those sentiments saying “if we come in here with preconceived notions of how we are going to vote on things, then we are not listening to our public.”

“Right now, 60 percent of our community feels like it needs a voice and that’s why

they elected us,” Lemieux said.

Silverthorn, who has worked as an analyst for the U.S. Department of Defense, is among four incumbents on the board who support the district’s reforms. But she said she is looking forward to helping old and new members work together.

“I’ve made it my practice to reach out and understand what people think,” she said.

Ray also was nominated for vice president, but again lost 4-3, this time to Judith Reynolds. She takes over the post from Doug Benevento, who remains on the board.

Reynolds was elected to the board in 2013 and served on school accountability committees before that. She said she will do all she can to put students first and listen to parents, teachers and others in the community.

“It is important to me that all of those people have a voice in the district,” Reynolds said.

NEW SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS SWORN IN The three newest members of the Douglas County Board of Education were sworn in Nov. 30 at the district building in Castle Rock. David Ray, a former district teacher and principal, Anne-Marie Lemieux, a former teacher and Wendy Vogel, a parent and volunteer, won nearly 60 percent of the county vote in the November election. The three candidates were voted into office behind a swell of support from parents and teachers.

Another 155 homes coming to Castle Rock

Calf donation contributes to education Two 4-H members receive $5,000 of value in calves, scholarship money as part of grant program Staff report Two six-month-old calves found new homes last month as the Cherokee Ranch & Castle Foundation donated a 546-pound Santa Gertrudis calf and a 428-pound Red Angus calf valued at a combined $3,000 to two area youths as part of the Douglas County Beef Educational Grant Program.

The program, in its second year, was formed through a partnership between the Douglas County Fair Foundation, the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo Board, Douglas County’s 4-H chapter and Future Farmers of America to give area youths the opportunity to raise livestock who might not otherwise have that chance.

Both of this year’s recipients, Kenzie Fox, of Sedalia, and Nick Summervill, of Highlands Ranch, will care for their respective animals on a daily basis as they prepare them for auction at the 2016 Douglas County Fair and Rodeo next August. Each recipient also was given a $1,000 scholarship to use for feed and other expenditures.

“There is a long history of agricultural heritage in Douglas County,” said Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge, who helped to found the program in 2014 with Fair Foundation board member Dr. Philip Riessel-

man. “By giving area children the opportunity to raise cattle not only gets them excited about and involved in agriculture, but it teaches them much of what has made this county what it is today.”

Both recipients will have beef advisors in 4-H to help them raise their animal, Riesselman stated, adding the goal is that each will be able to make enough money at auction to purchase another cow next year, as well as put some money away for school.

“What we like is planting seeds with these kids to show them that there is an opportunity to remain engaged in agriculture,” said James Holmes, executive director of the Cherokee Ranch & Castle Foundation. “If we end up having several cattlemen and cattlewomen emerge through this program over the years — who got their start working with these calves — I think that would be the best possible outcome.”

For the Fox family, it is about a tradition that already exists. Kenzie’s mom, Lee Ann, raised steers when she was in 4-H as a child and was looking forward to helping her daughter learn what goes into raising a calf.

“I’m so excited about it all,” said Fox, a sixth-grader at Pine Grove Elementary School in Parker, who named her calf Little Red and has been around cattle on her uncle’s farm. “I’ve raised rabbits, sheep and horses before, but this is my first cow.”

For Summervill, 18, the future is now. A recent graduate of ThunderRidge High School in Highlands Ranch, he said he was going to use the experience with the calf he named Nitro to see if he wants to pursue a career in agriculture.

Another 155 single-family detached homes will be added to Flat Rock Village in the Terrain Community in the northeast corner of Castle Rock between Founders Parkway and Highway 86.

The homes will join the 189 lots that have already been plotted in Flat Rock Village, the second village to be developed in the Terrain Community. An approximate 450 homes are located in Castle Oaks Village, the first developed village in the community. Five villages total are planned for the community.

Castle Rock Town Council approved the project by Starwood Lane Ventures LLC Dec. 1 with a 7-0 vote. The project was previously approved by the planning commission.

“We’ve really enjoyed our relationship with the town and community,” said Craig Campbell, west region vice president for Starwood Land Ventures. “We have a lot of pride in our projects. We’re really trying to promote the Colorado lifestyle and be good stewards of the beautiful land that Terrain already has.”

The site development plan for the project includes approximately 60 acres, 21 of which would be developed, leaving 55 percent of the site for open space.

“What Mr. Campbell and his team have done with this community, the residents love,” said Councilmember Renee Valentine, relaying praise from her constituents.

Flat Rock Village includes floor plans by three builders, TriPointe Homes, DR Horton and Taylor Morrison.

Homes range is size from 1,871 to 2,860 square feet, priced from mid-$300,000, and homes priced from the low $300,000 ranging in size from 2,059 to 2,311 square feet.

During the meeting, Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donahue addressed resident concerns about growth.

“We do have significant growth in this community,” he said. “The main reason we have this growth is to pay for the infrastructure of this community. If we didn’t have these developers coming in, the taxes here — the fees for water — would be astronomical. This growth is paying for growth and it is helping us keep our taxes low.”

Castle Rock property tax decreases for 2016 Town Council approves $199 million 2016 budget

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Castle Rock residents will see lower property taxes in 2016, as the 2016 property tax mill levy rate was set at 1.474 —

a 13 percent decrease from the 2015 rate.

That means that property taxes on a $300,000 homes within the town limits would go down to about $35 a year from the previous $40. This is because of a provision in the Municipal Code that limits the Town’s property tax revenue growth to 5.5 percent over the previous year. Assessed evaluations are expected to increase by more than 20 percent,

which will bring an estimated $1.1 million to the town in 2016.

The mill levy was just one item included in the 2016 budget, which was approved on second reading with a 7-0 vote by Castle Rock Town Council on Dec. 1, with no discussion.

The 2016 Castle Rock budget totals $199 million, which includes $103.3 million for capital improvements, debt and

conclusions documented in the revised environmental assessment.

CDOT and the Federal Highway Administration want to relieve congestion, decrease delays and improve travel reliability on C-470. Proposed improvements include adding one tolled express lane in each direction between I-25 and Kipling Parkway, and a second tolled express lane westbound between I-25 and Lucent Boulevard and eastbound between Broadway and I-25.

These new lanes, plus new auxiliary lanes where warranted, would supplement existing non-tolled general purpose lanes. The project also includes pavement reconstruction, alignment improvements and direct-connect ramps at the C-470 and I-25 interchange.

Be wary of wildlife on road Fall and early winter in the Rockies means deer, elk and other wildlife are on the move down from the high country and are crossing roadways in higher numbers.

Douglas County saw an increase in wildlife-related vehicle collisions for the fourth consecutive year in 2014 and for the third year in a row saw a record number of accidents involving wildlife, according to the most recent data from the Colorado Department of Transportation.

With 248 wildlife-vehicle collisions in 2014 — 49 more than in 2013 — Douglas County ranked third of Colorado’s 64 counties for the number of wildlife-vehicle collisions for the year.

Wildlife-vehicle collisions happen year-round. However, there is always an increase during migration seasons. A majority of the collisions occur during dark hours, from dusk to dawn, when wildlife are more active and are more difficult to see.

“Avoiding collisions with wildlife is not always possible, but we can all increase our reaction time by slowing down, especially at night, and being aware of animals near the roadsides,” said Mike McVaught, a CDOT traffic and safety engineer.

transfers between funds and $95.7 million for operations. The 2015 amended budget for operations was $91 million.

An addition to the final budget that was not included in the previous proposed budget is the redesign of Festival Park, a $4.25 million project, half of which will be funded by the Castle Rock Downtown Development Authority’s TIF Fund.

The impact study, signed by the Federal Highway Administration and CDOT, was done in response to public comments received regarding long-term noise measurements not required as part of the revised assessment, which reviews the environmental impacts including air quality, wetlands and noise.

In conducting the FONSI, CDOT took five additional days of measurements and found results supported the noise

Commissioner receives statewide leadership award Douglas County Commissioner David Weaver was named the freshman commissioner of the year by Colorado Counties Inc., a statewide organization that brings together leaders from all 64 Colorado counties to work together on issues facing counties across the state.

“We are honored to have one of our commissioners recognized by such an important state organization as it pertains to county governance,” said Jill Repella, Douglas County commissioner and board chair. “Commissioner Weaver is revered by many of his peers as an example of statesmanship and grace, yet also as someone with a stern focus on getting things accomplished for Douglas County.”

Weaver began serving his first elected term as a Douglas County commissioner in January, at which time the former county sheriff also accepted appointments as vice chair of Colorado Counties Inc. Justice and Public Safety Steering Committee, the National Association of Counties Justice and Public Safety Committee, and the Colorado Department of Human Services Child Welfare Prevention Steering Committee.

In May, Weaver was appointed to the Colorado Criminal Juvenile Justice Committee. He is also the Douglas County appointee to the Colorado Counties Inc. Health and Human Services Committee.

Dr. Kim’s Do’s and Dont’s for Healthy Winter Skin • DO transition from an exfoliating cleanser to a mild facial and body cleanser without fragrance.

• DO take short showers with lukewarm water during the dry, winter months. After patting skin dry, apply a moisturizing cream or lotion immediately after showering. Creams with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and/or emollients such as petrolatum are especially effective.

Hot showers, especially taken more than once daily, strip the skin of natural oils and ceramides.

• DO apply a lotion or cream with SPF 20 or greater to the face, even during the winter months.

Broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB), physical-blocking agents with the active ingredients of zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide are best.

Levine Continued from Page 1

Dance. Levine will mostly play “the Nutcracker Prince,” but will do one performance as “the Cavalier” for his first time.

Sharing his strength Levine has been the subject of a viral hashtag. He was the focus of a nationwide campaign that raised money through dance. He was named Legend High School’s wish kid last year. He’s spoken to renowned choreographers who told him they’ve been praying for him. And a few months back, he was named as a Children’s Ambas-

sador for Children’s Hospital and will spend part of 2016 attending fundraisers and sharing his story.

Lisa Tuska, Levine’s godmother and life-long dance instructor, says it’s easy to see why he was chosen for that role. Levine’s message about strength in the face of adversity is inspiring.

“He’s meant to be here, but some of the doctors told him they don’t know how he made it,” she says. “Now he’s going full steam.”

Tuska and Levine’s mother, Karen, attribute his improvement to a never-quit approach and the unprecedented outpouring of love from family, friends and strangers, not to mention a great care team.

Karen Levine, who often shares the stage with her son while playing “Mother Ginger,” says she has

watched her son endure setbacks, but also minor victories, like when a scan taken just before his first surgery revealed that the tumor had separated from his vital organs. Genetic testing also showed that the cancer was the result of a particular mutation that does not run in the family, much to Dalton Levine’s relief.

He has pulled back to some extent over the last 14 months, but has stayed active in dance and has pushed through.

“It makes my heart very happy to see him performing and doing something that he loves,” Karen Levine says.

A renewed outlook Dalton Levine is already receiving acceptance letters in the mail

from some of the five in-state schools to which he applied. He has a 4.0 grade-point average — while taking classes like Advanced Placement chemistry and college algebra — and is only six months from graduation.

As a result of his treatment, Levine’s desired career path has deviated.

“I’ve decided that I kind of want to go into the medical world, maybe be a doctor and work with pediatrics,” he says. “I see what (doctors and nurses) do and they’re changing kids’ lives every day and that’s just something that I want to do.”

So his selected college will be one that puts him in prime position to go on to medical school.

But before that, he has “The

Nutcracker of Parker” and a series of dance competitions in late winter and early spring that will keep him busy. He will spend his downtime playing the violin and video games, and hanging out with friends, especially his dog, Kai, a 10-year-old golden retriever who “can always tell when I’m not feeling well,” he said.

Levine looks forward to being a continued source of strength for himself and others and a positive influence on younger cancer patients.

“I’ve always fought for my health and to just stay alive and I will always throughout my life stay as positive as I can, because I’ll know that there’s really no darker place I probably will ever be in,” he says.

Snowsports Continued from Page 1

understanding with P3 Advisors LLC, the company interested in developing the synthetic-snow park tentatively named SnowSports365 at Philip S. Miller Park.

“I am 100 percent behind this project,” Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donahue said. “I think we have a lot of things going on here in Castle Rock and families are looking for more.”

No contractual rights or obligations have been established yet, but now that council voted unanimously Dec. 1 to continue with the project, both parties can move toward a potential development agreement.

The project cost is estimated at $28 million, all of which will be paid for by the developer. However, P3 requested a $2.7 million loan with 2.5 percent interest from Castle Rock to help pay for improvements that will benefit the entire park, including additional parking lots, utility extensions and additional lighting. The loan was approved as part of the Dec. 1 agreement.

SnowSports 365 would be built on 9.5 acres at the Philip S. Miller Park, which is off of Plum Creek Parkway west of Interstate 25. The artificial ski surface is made of premium, engineered polymer surface called Snowflex. When misted with water, the surface provides a similar skiing experience to snow, but offers softer falls. Various jumps, moguls, rails, a lift or moving carpet system could also be included. An area for tubing and a lodge or concession

building are also in the preliminary plans. The lease for SnowSports 365 would establish a commitment of 20 to 25 years with two subsequent 10-year option terms.

The attraction is expected to draw more than 170,000 people annually.

Several of these systems exist around the world, but the only other Snowflex full slope in the United States is located at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia.

Five-time Winter X Games medalist and 2010 U.S. Olympic snowboard team member Louie Vito was present at the council meeting voicing his support of the project.

“For me, it’s introducing something that I love to the masses,” Vito said. “Here especially, if you want to go snowboarding, it’s an expensive sport to be involved in.

With this, it’s something kids can try at an affordable rate and see if they like it. If they do, invest in a season pass into the mountains.”

Funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Vito said he isn’t trying to replace the mountains, but SnowSports 365 would allow people to get involved in the sport at a low cost.

Vito visited the Snowflex at Liberty University for a test run during the research phase of the project.

“It is different,” he said. “For me, it took two or three runs to get used to it. But you can carve. I met people who learned on there, that have done both now — they said the main difference was that on snow, you’re a lot faster.”

Cost for slope participants is expected to be less than $20 an hour with hourly, daily, monthly and seasonal pass options. Castle Rock residents will be given a 10 percent discount.

“I think we’re really fortunate here in this town that we can partner with developers,” Councilman Brett Ford said.

“I hope the project is wildly successful and I’m excited to have it in my backyard.”

Keep running strong as year is running out Some companies follow the calendar year as their fiscal year and others may follow a different fiscal year with many of them starting their year in October. So for those who started in October, the focus is on starting strong, Michael Norton and for those who began their journey WINNING back in January, WORDS the emphasis is on finishing strong.

For most individuals, we started our year back in January and we are now looking at winding down the year and looking ahead to next year.

So for both individuals and businesses, here we are, either at the beginning of the year or at the end of the year. And the question is, how are we doing on our strength-meter? Have we gotten out to a great start or are we struggling? In either case we have to ask ourselves: Why? This is important because if we can recognize where our strengths are and what has gotten us off to that good or fast start, we can build upon those strengths so that we can maintain positive momentum and stay strong in the pursuit of our goals.

It is equally important to acknowledge why and where we may be struggling or even failing. An honest reflection and assessment on our personal goals and business goals will allow us to course-correct and make adjustments to our actions, behaviors, and maybe even our teams in order to get back on track.

Whenever I think about this topic or talk with business executives or people I have coached, I am always reminded of one of the sayings someone shared with me when I first started skiing here in Colorado. It was a really cold day, and as we were putting on our gear in the lodge and debating the topic of how we should or shouldn’t layer up, someone from ski patrol passed by and shared these word, “start warm, stay warm, and you will finish warm.” Brilliance.

The same holds true for how we pursue our personal and professional goals and objectives, we need to start strong, stay strong, and finish even stronger.

At this time of year, many people are so close to achieving and even surpassing their own personal goals. And then the holidays hit, party invitations, big meals, rich desserts, a little more wine, a little more beer, and before we know it, we have forgotten to finish what we started and talk ourselves into starting all over again next year. You have to remind yourself to stay strong, finish even stronger, and that you are almost there.

The same holds true for some businesses, especially sales people. They are so close to meeting and exceeding quotas, but then they allow themselves to believe that their customers and prospects are on vacation or taking time for the holidays and they make the crucial mistake of waiting until January to reengage and make contact again. And what they find is that their customer or prospect found an alternate solution and partner to provide the needed products or services.

How do we start strong? Set proper goals, prepare and plan for success, and then focus on action and execution. How do we stay strong? Recognize what we are doing right and repeat the pattern and leverage successes. Look at failures and understand what went wrong so we can modify our plans and get back on track.

How do we finish even stronger? Don’t take your foot off the accelerator. Think about what you have done, the behaviors you have been doing that have gotten Norton continues on Page 11

Expansion does a number on common sense There are 15 members of the Big Ten Conference. It’s ridiculous.

What do you tell your son or daughter, who might just be learning basic mathematics?

I guess you could tell the kid that there are 10 big members and five little members.

But wait a minute.

If you think you’ve caught me in a typo, not this time.

And I’ll bet that there aren’t 15 of you who can name all 15.

I can name the colors and nicknames of all of them, which tells you something.

I am going to give you 10, and let you think about the other five.

My father attended Michigan.

I know that he would not be happy with the expansion. One of the schools, maybe two, simply don’t belong.

OK, here we go.

Michigan and Michigan State. It’s a great rivalry.

Ohio State. Ugh. Indiana, Illinois and Iowa.

Northwestern should be in the Ivy League.

The Wisconsin Badgers, Purdue Boilermakers and Minnesota Golden Gophers.

Great nicknames.

Are you ready for the next five?

I’ll bet you a blue jay you can’t name the 15th.

A few years ago all of the major conferences expanded.

My school’s league, the Pac-10, admitted Colorado and Utah.

I was happy about it, because it meant that I would get more local Pac-12 coverage.

I don’t know how CU fans feel about it, because the football team has done very poorly.

But that’s not the only sport in town.

CU track and cross-country are top ranked programs.

Notre Dame was asked to join, but declined. They are in their own world, although some Irish teams compete in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Makes no sense.

The best league addition was Penn State, annually a football powerhouse, until recently, and always excellent in women’s volleyball.

Then Nebraska was lured out of the Big 8, which they completely dominated for years (along with Oklahoma).

The Cornhuskers are struggling in the Big Ten, and their fans aren’t used to struggling.

The Huskers are 3-5. When did that last happen? They might not even make it to a

bowl game.

Then things got weird.

Rutgers and Maryland were added. Why? The thinking is that Rutgers would give the Big Ten some visibility in the New York City area.

Craig Marshall Smith Unfortunately, QUIET Rutgers came in DESPERATION wearing some dirty laundry.

I don’t get Maryland.

And they have some of the ugliest uniforms in the NCAA. I slipped a hint in here, about the fifteenth member.

Time’s up.

Johns Hopkins.

Johns Hopkins is an “affiliate member.”

The football team is undefeated, 7-0. But they don’t play in the Big Ten. They have played and beaten schools like Susquehanna, Muhlenberg and Gettysburg.

Those are Division III schools.

Now maybe you can guess which Johns Hopkins teams compete in the Big Ten. Lacrosse, where they excel.

I said that I would bet you a blue jay. That was the hint.

They’re the Johns Hopkins Blue Jays.

And they bring glamour to the Big Ten, at least in one sport. The men have been national champions nine times, but not since joining the Big Ten. Do you know who won the 2015 national championship?

The University of Denver Pioneers.

From 1998 to 2007, the school’s mascot was a red-tailed hawk. Makes no sense.

DU subsequently considered an elk and a jackalope. Which makes no sense either.

My father used to sing a strange little song about his school.

“Don’t send my boy to Illinois, a dying mother said, Don’t send my boy to Ohio, I’d rather he were dead, But send my boy to Michigan ...”

Let me know where to send the blue jay.

Union Continued from Page 1

re-election in November brought up the union issue in the recent election, the union said it played no active role in the election. According to the Colorado secretary of state’s database, it did not directly contribute to any campaign.

“The teachers’ union and collective bargaining agreement have become a distraction for the Douglas County School District,” said Anne-Marie Lemieux, who was elected to the board after defeating former president Kevin Larsen. “There is no plan to bring back a CBA” (collective bargaining agreement).

Moving forward, Lemieux said the district needs to work on creating an environment of trust and mutual respect between teachers and the administration.

What the union does today For the past three years, the union’s role in Douglas County has diminished, with the number of members dropping from more than 70 percent in 2012 to 50 percent of the district’s 3,500 teachers in 2015.

But although it no longer serves as a collective-bargaining agent, the union’s other roles remain much the same.

“We do all the same things we used to do,” said Courtney Smith, president of the Douglas County Federation. “The one big difference, obviously, since 2012, is that we don’t negotiate a collective-bargaining agreement since the school board decided to let it expire. That would be the only piece that’s a big difference.”

The DCF provides teachers with ongoing training and advisement as well as legal counsel if needed, Smith said. It also brings in teachers who are rated as highly effective and have mastered the teacherevaluation system to work with less experienced ones.

“The district administration’s continued refusal to focus on what is important for students and to treat their employees fairly has increased the need for our organization,” Smith said. “We are supporting members each and every day, even without a CBA.” But without the ability to negotiate, board member Doug Benevento said he doesn’t see the purpose of having a union.

“There’s no reason to have a union unless they get to go behind closed doors and negotiate a union wage scale for teachers,” he said.

WHAT IT COSTS TO BE IN TEACHERS’ UNION Dues for those wishing to join the Douglas County Federation are applied on a sliding scale used to match the district’s pay-for-performance scale.

For example, teachers making more than $50,000 per year would pay $51.48 per month,

while teachers making less than Douglas County teachers in $35,000 would pay $33.48 per 2012, the year the school board month. stopped negotiating with the union.

About half of the district’s 3,500 teachers belong to the union, DCF president Courtney Smith said. DCF had reported membership of 70 percent of

Why negotiations ended The district allowed the contract with DCF to expire because of concerns that only a small portion of union dues were going to teacher training and resources and that larger portions of the money collected were used to pay union employees and leadership as well as support political lobbying, according Benevento.

“If you follow the money, it goes to Washington, D.C.,” Benevento said.

Smith said that although a portion of teacher dues does go to the national organization, the American Federation of Teachers, and the local organization AFT Colorado, the union does not support politics or politicians.

Money from dues does fund the local DCF office, which includes professional coaching, legal bills and specialized help for teachers.

A separate fund is set up for members who wish to contribute to political causes separately from dues.

“No matter how many times we have explained that to some school board members,” Smith said, “they refuse to internalize it, mainly because it doesn’t fit their false rhetoric about the big, bad, evil DCF union sending millions in dues money to Washington, D.C., to support liberal causes and candidates.”

Smith also serves as the president of AFT Colorado.

Former district principal David Ray, who was recently elected to the board of education, said the board should be willing to sit down with any organization that represents half of its teachers.

“I believe a gross disservice to our employees has been committed when refusing to interact with an organization in which 50 percent of our teacher population are members,” Ray said. “This does not mean that decision-making should be controlled by any organized group, but rather that we make better decisions when we consider all perspectives. My hope is that we can return to focusing our conversations on what is best for students, and allow all voices to be

Many see need for teacher survey Turnover in district is among issues driving discussion

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Many community members in the Douglas County School District have advocated for a survey of parents, teachers and students to find ways to improve the relationship between teachers and administration.

Courtney Smith of the Douglas County Federation of Teachers would like to see a teacher survey because “at the very least, they should want to know how their employees feel about the school district.”

DCF also hopes the teacher-evaluation system, which is tied to pay-for-performance, can be simplified. The union also is concerned about teacher and principal turnover in the district.

Newly elected board of education member Anne-Marie Lemieux ran for election with the promise of a survey and said it would be the best way to gauge needs and concerns of teachers and help build an “environment of trust and mu-

Start warm, stay warm, finish warm.

Start strong, stay strong, finish even stronger.

tual respect.”

Lemieux said she is concerned about the rate of teacher and principal turnover and that a survey would help provide insight into why some teachers feel the need to leave Douglas County.

“One way to begin building trust will be to offer an anonymous and comprehensive survey of all our employees,” Lemieux said.

Newly elected board members David Ray and Wendy Vogel also said they would like to implement a survey in the near future.

Worries about the current pay system and desire for a survey of parents and teachers are issues that arose often during the campaigns leading up to the November election.

“I feel that if this district is to move forward without a teachers’ union, they have to prove they can provide a positive work environment for teachers with competitive wages,” said Laura Mutton, president of the community group Strong Schools Coalition. “Conducting an anonymous staff survey would be a step in the right direction.”

How are you doing? Are you starting strong or are you planning on finishing strong? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we start strong, stay strong, and finish even stronger it really will be a better than good week.

According to the Douglas County School District, teachers are welcome to join any organization of their choosing.

heard for our students’ sake.”

Kendra Gish, a teacher at Legend High School, said having a collective-bargaining agreement gives teachers the opportunity to advocate for their students by helping to limit class sizes and a teacher’s student load.

“By giving teachers a CBA, a district shows teachers they value them and their opinions,” Gish said. “Without a CBA, rules and regulations can be changed at any time without notice. Class sizes can be increased along with student loads, sick leave can be removed, pensions eliminated, teachers’ raises denied. These are all crucial elements to maintaining a positive working environment where teachers feel valued.”

Arguments against a union often point to protection of underperforming teachers.

However, Gish said this is not accurate in the case of Douglas County.

“Most people think the union is designed to protect bad teachers, but that’s not true,” Gish said. “The state of Colorado has not had tenure for over 18 years, therefore limiting the union’s ability to protect bad teachers. Although the union does help to protect teachers’ and, in turn, students’ rights, it does not protect those teachers who are deemed less than par.”

National perspective The American Federation of Teachers represents 1.6 million teachers and administrators nationwide.

According to AFT national representative David Stylianou, the union has faced opposition in conservative areas around the country.

“There is a nationally coordinated agenda to weaken the voices of working people across the country,” Stylianou said.

“One way they do this is by attacking collective bargaining rights, which weakens our ability to work together to bargain for decent wages, benefits and safe working conditions.”

When educators are under attack, the answer is to stick together and continue to speak with one voice, Stylianou said.

“Just because you lose a contract doesn’t mean you lose your union, your collective voice, or your ability to advocate for your profession and your students,” Stylianou said.

Is there a way forward?

In 2014, then-board president Larsen and Benevento sent a letter to Smith and the DCF outlining non-negotiable conditions the union would need to meet to re-establish talks with the district.

These included: No direct or indirect monetary contributions in Douglas County school board races, a prohibition on teacher dues being spent on anything but professional development for teachers, support for paying teachers based on performance and no district money going toward paying union leadership. In addition, the union should provide its own retirement or benefits for its leadership and employees, instead of relying on the state retirement and other government programs.

Smith said DCF is open to new negotiations with the district, but has little interest in revisiting collective bargaining under the current administration.

“We’ve never not wanted to sit down with the district. They are the ones that ended that relationship,” Smith said. “I would sit down with anyone who would want to sit down and hear what actually is the truth from employees.”

For any conversation to occur, Benevento said the union would have to agree to the non-negotiable points in the letter and prove why the organization is needed by the district and its teachers.

“They would have to concede those points and explain their value to the district,” Benevento said. “That’s what they need to do to regain credibility in the district.”

Cultural celebrations enrich local holiday tapestry Metro area’s diversity reflected in festivities from Chinese New Year to Kwanzaa to Hanukkah

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The holiday fever that generally focuses on the Christian Christmas and American New Year celebrations can overshadow the multitude of other religious and cultural traditions that reflect the diversity of the Denver metro area: Buddhists celebrated Bodhi Day on Dec. 8. The event recognizes the day Buddha experienced enlightenment.

Those with a Mexican heritage celebrate Our Lady of Guadalupe Day on Dec. 12 to honor the patron saint — the Virgin Mary — of Mexico.

And there are so many more, including the African-American Kwanzaa, the Jewish Hanukkah, and the Vietnamese Tet and Chinese New Year festivities.

“Colorado is known for its welcoming spirit,” said Kelly Brough, president and CEO of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce. “Not just at the holidays, but year-round, our community benefits from the richness that comes as a result of celebrating different cultures and perspectives.

It’s that spirit of collaboration and openness that make us such a top destination for the next generation.”

Christmas Images marking the Christmas holiday include nativity scenes and Santa Claus.

The nativity scene symbolizes the religious celebration of the birth of Jesus. Many churches hold Christmas Eve and candlelight services.

“Christmas is one of the two most important dates on the Christian calendar,” said Scott Carranza, pastor of Jesus of Nazareth Compassionate Ministries and church in Lakewood. “Christmas marks the birth of Jesus and a time to celebrate the arrival of our savior. The other date is Easter, when we mourn Jesus dying on the cross for our sins, but then celebrate his resurrection.”

Carranza pastors a Spanish church, which has an early Christmas Eve service so families can get home for the traditional celebration.

“We also do a posada, which is the re-enactment of Mary and Joseph seeking lodging,” he said. “We rent a donkey, dress the parts and, with Mary riding the donkey, the group tours the neighborhood singing Christmas carols.”

Of course, images of Santa are everywhere as the season of shopping for gifts shifts into high gear. Santa’s helpers are available to speak to children in a variety of locations, and the red-suited elf or his helpers visit hospitals, nursing homes and other locations.

Hanukkah For the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah — also known as the Festival of Lights — celebrated this year from Dec. 6-14, the primary symbol is the menorah. The nine-pronged candlestick represents the rededication of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem in 165 B.C. after the Syrians-Greeks had desecrated it by placing idols of their gods there.

“The holiday celebrates the miracle of oil for lighting the eight branches of the menorah in the temple,” said Zev Pomeranz, assistant rabbi at Aish Denver, a Jewish learning center in Greenwood Village. “There was only undesecrated oil to keep the menorah lighted for one day, but it would take eight days to purify oil. However, the miracle is there was enough oil for all eight days.”

On the first day of Hanukkah, one candle in the menorah is lit. An additional candle is lit each day until all eight candles are burning. The ninth candle is used to light the other candles. Jewish congregations gather for Hanukkah services, reciting special prayers thanking God for the miracle of oil for the menorah and singing songs of praise.

“There are also social gatherings where traditional Hanukkah foods … like latkes, potato pancakes that are cooked in hot oil,” Pomeranz said.

The restaurant is among a number of locations in the metro area that celebrates the holiday with fireworks and lion dancers. File photo Kwanzaa Kwanzaa celebrations are held from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1, primarily in locations around the Five Points neighborhood at the northeast edge of Denver’s central business district.

“We have special programs on each of the seven days,” said Thedora Jackson of the Kwanzaa Committee of Denver. “Kwanzaa is a time to honor African heritage in the African-American culture, and there will be music, food and dancing reflecting African culture.”

Last year’s first-day celebration attracted several hundred people, Jackson said.

Kwanzaa began in 1965 when Maulana Karenga, professor of Africana Studies at California State University at Long Beach, sought to bring the African-American community together in a positive manner following the Watts riots in Los Angeles. The celebration was intended as a way to help African-Americans reconnect with their African cultural and historical heritage.

The Kwanzaa celebration began in Denver in the early 1970s, Jackson said. Early celebrations were small, but they’ve grown in size and attendance every year.

“We have many different activities,” she said. “One important activity is we take time during the celebration to honor and recognize those who have been active in our community.”

Chinese New Year Firecrackers and dragons are images of the Chinese and Tet new years that are celebrated in late January or early February in the Denver area.

As the name indicates, Chinese New Year celebrates the turning of the Chinese calendar. According to customs and traditions, it is a time to clean the house to sweep away all ill fortune and make way for incoming good fortune. Traditions also include lighting firecrackers and giving money gifts in red paper envelopes to children and the elderly.

Although Chinese New Year is Feb. 7 and 8, the annual celebration at the Twin Dragon restaurant in Englewood will be Feb. 12 and 13.

“We have the lion dancers come in to set off strings of firecrackers and to perform for our customers,” restaurant owner Shiou Yun Wang said. “The firecrackers and the dancers are traditional. It used to be the Twin Dragon event was the only celebration in the area. But now other restaurants and other locations in Denver’s Chinese neighborhoods are holding the celebrations.”

Tet New Year Tet is the celebration of the Vietnamese New Year. The formal Vietnamese name means the Feast of the First Morning of the First Day. It is usually celebrated on the

Drummers take part in last year’s Kwanzaa celebration in the Five Points area of Denver. The celebration of African culture and heritage is planned again this year. Courtesy photo same day as the Chinese New Year.

Traditions include visiting a friend, honoring ancestors, giving gifts and opening a business.

The Vietnamese neighborhood called Little Saigon, on South Federal Boulevard between Alameda and Mississippi, holds some Tet celebrations. A Tet celebration was held last year at the King’s Landing Seafood Restaurant at 2200 W. Alameda Ave. that included lion dancers, fireworks and traditional Vietnamese food.

The restaurant plans to celebrate Tet and Chinese New Year on Feb. 8, which will include lion dancers and other Tet holiday activities.

Nguyen Cao Phan, 66, who lives in Denver, recalled the Tet festivities of his native country.

“I lived near Natrang and Tet was a huge time of celebration,” he said during a shopping trip to Little Saigon. “I have been here since about 1979. Tet isn’t celebrated like it was in Vietnam, but there are restaurants that celebrate Tet and the Chinese New Year together. It is OK, I guess, but I wish there was a big Tet celebration to honor our heritage.”

Time to make lists — but don’t miss a musical gem There’s so much music available these days that people are going to miss — no matter how hard they try not to — some truly great pieces of work.

That’s why this time of year is my favorite.

It’s not because of the pretty lights, the baked goods or the gifts.

It’s because for the rest of the month critics will be making their lists, checking them twice and picking everything from favorite songs, albums, most overlooked release, worst release, best reissue and a myriad of other musical categories.

The approach a critic takes to this process is personal. I’m sure as many different methods and systems exist as there are critics.

As someone who has been an unofficial critic for nearly a decade — compiling my own year-end list since 2008 — it’s a challenging process.

For me, it begins with a deceptively simple question: Am I picking my favorite music — or the best?

The difference in answers is huge.

For instance, according to most critics, Bruce Springsteen’s “Born to Run” is his best album in that it represents his most radical leap forward as a musician and represents some of his most penetrating lyrics. On the other hand, “Darkness on the Edge of Town” or “Tunnel of Love” connect with me on a

far deeper level as a listener. So which receives more weight?

That’s the challenge of being a critic — separating your feelings and examining the music objectively. You need to recognize what makes a piece of music special or Clarke Reader relevant, even if you don’t love it.

LINER It’s a hard line to NOTES walk, and I only successfully do it some of the time.

For a while, I tried to live up to a critic’s consensus of music. My first few year-end lists were less of a reflection of my favorite music than what I saw other critics choosing.

At some point, you have to embrace the fact that music is a profoundly personal experience, and since it’s impossible to reach complete consensus on any kind of art, why bother trying? Instead of trying to build some kind of critical agreement, these lists should serve as a kind of personal time capsule.

The lists that most reflect the personality of the critic or staff are the best for this very reason — they focus on music that had the largest impact over the past 12 months.

Those are the lists that show you something new.

That is, after all, what these lists are for — to foster discussion and to funnel the best music into the ears of people who might’ve missed it.

Such lists have helped me discover some of my favorite music: The placement of Miranda Lambert’s “Four the Record” on Rolling Stone’s 2011 list opened the door to country after nearly a lifetime of disinterest.

A list on National Public Radio that same year introduced me to the searing soul sounds of the Alabama Shakes.

And Complex’s year-ender, also in 2011, first alerted me to hip-hop virtuoso Kendrick Lamar, who has grown into one of the most important artists of our generation.

Be willing to keep your ears open this time of year. Try a genre or artist you’ve never considered before. Finding a musical gem you may have missed is the perfect way to cap off the year.

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Adele’s “25,” released on XL Records Review: Adele returns after four long years with that once-in-a-lifetime voice, and a group of less sad songs. She looks to be only getting better with time, and her expanded influences bring a new sensibility to her music.

Favorite song: “Hello” Most romantic line: “But when the pain cuts you deep When the night keeps you from sleeping Just look and you will see That I will be your remedy.”

Lombardi leaving CBS4?

Amiable CBS4 sports anchor Vic Lombardi is leaving the station, where he’s worked since 1998, for an undetermined position with Altitude Sports, the Stan Kroenkeowned network, according to The Denver Post.

Lombardi, an Emmy Award-winning sportscaster, is expected to sign a contract with Altitude, which broadcasts Kroenkeowned pro teams the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, the Colorado Rapids and the Colorado Mammoth.

The Post reports that Lombardi’s hire “will give Altitude ... a push as it expands its local programming.” Lombardi’s contract with CBS4 is due to expire at the end of this year.

Ex-TV personality McIntosh runs for office

Denver TV personality Mark McIntosh (former CBS4 sportscaster) has decided to run for public office as a Democratic candidate for Colorado’s House District 6. He broke the news to in an email to his fans and followers of his inspirational Weekly Penny Parker Pep Talk.

MILE HIGH Here’s part of what he said: LIFE “Dear family, friends and colleagues, “Throughout the years, for a variety of reasons, we have connected. We have developed a relationship tied to family, community or business. You are receiving this email today because of that connection.

“This correspondence is to alert you that I’m running for public office as a candidate for Colorado’s House District 6. For many years I have been passionate about service to others and helping people RISE UP and achieve goals and overcome challenges.

“Now I am ready to take that mission to the state House of Representatives. Our RISE UP with Mark campaign platform focuses on three areas: Education, Economics and Community. For more information on our campaign, please check out the website at www.RiseUpWithMark.com.”

Running Dialogue exhibit at Lone Tree The Lone Tree Arts Center’s Running Dialogue exhibit began Dec. 3 and runs through Jan. 5.

The exhibit showcases the work of five Colorado artists who work in five different

mediums, including: Ken Elliott - oil and pastel - Elliott is a landscape artist with a keen focus on color and composition. His works are direct, showing the lessons of the impressionist as well as modern schools.

Victoria Eubanks - encaustic - Eubanks brings 30 years of graphic sensibility and design experience to her studio. Her work pulls from the common place, with objects or themes richly portrayed in the translucency of wax. Through layers of color, imagery and texture, she enables the mundane to become exotic.

Janice McDonald - collage - McDonald creates collages with fragments of paper and recycled imagery collected from her daily life and wanderings. She is especially intrigued with the often-overlooked backgrounds, colors, textures, shapes, and negative spaces in everyday printed materials.

Carol Ann Waugh - fiber - Waugh is an award-winning mixed media fiber artist. Her work explores unexpected connections and juxtapositions that can lead to new ideas and artistic expressions.

Mary Williams - wood sculpture - By combining striking colors and bold imagery, Williams creates playful sculptures and wall installations that reach out to all ages. Her inspiration comes from patterns in nature that she carves as shapes, lines, and textures to create abstract imagery.

The artists exhibiting in Running Dialogue have shown their work together for the past five years at Denver-area venues including the Madden Museum, aBuzz Gallery and Denver International Airport.

Running Dialogue can be viewed during LTAC open box office hours: weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and two hours before live performances. Performances include theatrical, musical and educational productions for

all ages throughout the year. The lineup of performances at LTAC and more information about the city of Lone Tree’s public art programs are available at www.lonetreeartscenter.org or by calling 720-509-1000.

Project chairwoman Kristina Wilburn said, “This project is a highlight of the year, as 18 families in our community are served a meal and given presents by their sponsors.”

Classes nurture a wide range of area artists Castle Rock facility rented by award-winning painter

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Located at 380 Perry St. in Castle Rock, just above Dream Pastries in the heart of the downtown business district, is The Atelier at Castle Rock, a treasure that artists and collectors will want to include in their lists of contacts.

Award-winning local painter Diane Rappisi rented it as studio space when

she and her husband moved to Castle Rock several years ago, and now it also serves as a classroom where Rappisi teaches beginners to professional artists.

Present class titles include “Introduction to Color” and “Color Study and Practice II;” “The Alla Prima Portrait” (done in one sitting); “The Extended Still Life;” “Advanced Figure-Long Pose;” and “Introduction to the Figure.” The Atelier also offers commissioned portraits, private critiques and portfolio reviews, in addition to a year-round schedule of classes in an intimate environment and workshops with visiting artists. The goal

is a strong foundation in figures, still life and landscape. Classes vary in size, she said, with four or five students a typical number (10 is the maximum). She has been teaching two days a week and is expanding to three next year.

Rappisi, who now lives in Highlands Ranch, said she was a self-taught portrait artist until she was in her late 40s, when she enrolled in Philadelphia’s Studio Incamminati, founded by renowned artist Nelson Shanks.

There she received formal training in traditional art from a number of wellknown artists and also absorbed the course in teacher training.

She was recently awarded Best of Show in the National Juried Exhibition of the Pastel Society of the Southwest and will participate in the 2016 Governor’s Art Show in Loveland in 2016.

She is a member of the Pastel Society of America, the Oil Painters of America, Salmagundi Club in New York and Plein Air Artists of Colorado.

Her working studio also serves as a gallery for her paintings. She keeps a collection of still life objects on hand and is generally accompanied by her sweet golden retriever, Sammie, who is a receptive audience when she talks on her drive from home to studio.

Photographs of wild horses by Carol Walker have been on exhibit at Outnumbered Gallery in Littleton and will continue in December with her new book, “Galloping to Freedom.”

Horse photographer to appear at gallery Walker has published book about saving Appaloosas

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Carol Walker discovered photography at an early age and was immediately interested in images of animals. After studying literature and photography at Smith College, she continued to hone her skills in portraiture and nature photography as she traveled the world.

In 2000, she started a business that specialized in photographing horses, teaching equine photography to amateurs and marketing her fine art prints.

She began photographing wild horses in Colorado, Montana and Wyoming, became aware that their situation on public lands has become precarious, and devoted her energy to keeping them wild and free.

According to Walker’s website, during the BLM 2014 Checkerboard Roundup in Wyoming, she had a chance encounter with a 22-year-old stallion, called Bronze Warrior, who was likely to be separated from his band of mares and offspring to spend his remaining life alone in a small pen because older horses are not usually adopted.

Instead, she connected him with Susan Watt of Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary, where the band is able to run free on 11,000 private acres.

Walker has published four books, including “Galloping to Freedom: Saving the Adobe Town Appaloosas.” She will present an artist’s talk at a reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Dec. 11 at Outnumbered Gallery, on Prince Street between Main Street and Powers Avenue in down-

Author/photographer Carol Walker will be at Outnumbered Gallery in Littleton on Dec. 11 to talk about her experiences with wild horses and sign copies of her new book, “Galloping to Freedom.”

She will be available for discussion and book-signings, and will speak about the successful efforts of the horse sanctuary and her book on saving the Appaloosas. Some of her photographs have been on display at the gallery the past month and will continue to be available.

Proceeds from the sale of her books, photographs and calendars will benefit the Wild Horse Freedom Federation.

Wrestling rankings put Pomona on top

Valor rallies to claim another title Eagles’ fourth quarter comeback secures sixth championship

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Valor Christian looked a lot like a prizefighter during the Class 5A state championship football game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.

The Eagles were staggered and taking knockout punches from Pomona but pulled themselves off the mat to rally for a 29-26 victory Dec. 5 to capture their sixth state championship in the past seven seasons.

Valor Christian trailed 26-14 with 8:55 remaining in the game, but rallied for 15 unanswered points with the help of a costly Pomona turnover to increase its state playoff record to 31-1 over a seven-season span in three classifications.

The lone loss playoff loss was a 25-24 setback to Cherry Creek in last season’s

5A title game. The title win over Pomona avenged a 28-14 loss to the Panthers in the Eagles’ second game this season.

“We were a little bit on our heels at times,” said Valor coach Rod Sherman. “All of the credit goes to Pomona for what they did to put us on our heels.

“I thought once we got a couple big plays (that) really helped us. Dylan (McCaffrey) made some exceptional plays in the second half, and there were obviously a couple big defensive plays.’’

McCaffrey, Ben Waters, Booker Schelhaas and Jacob Hibben were among the players making crucial plays in the Eagles’ second consecutive comeback win. Valor was down 10-7 at halftime but came back for a 20-10 semifinal victory over Cherry Creek on Nov. 28.

“Pomona was great,” McCaffrey said.

“They were getting after us every play.

It was really special. A win is a win, but especially a comeback win makes it even sweeter.

“We knew we were going to get the ball back. It was uncanny, but we ended up do-

ing it. We knew we could bounce back, and we did.”

McCaffrey leaped for a first down on a fourth-and-six play during the Eagles’ 75-yard scoring drive that brought Valor to within 26-21 with 4:22 left in the game. The junior quarterback hooked up with Waters on a 26-yard touchdown pass to end the scoring march.

“Coming into the fourth quarter, we were down the whole game, and we needed to execute and we did,” said Waters. “Pomona could move the ball, and that’s props to them because they are an unbelievable team. Every comeback needs a big play. I have a quarterback that is able to do that, and it’s been exciting.”

Pomona had a chance to possibly run out the clock, but on a third-and-one from its own 45-yard line, Max Borghi appeared to have the first down but kept fighting for extra yards. Schelhaas knocked the ball loose, and Hibben recovered for the only turnover of the game.

Titans win team wrestling title Legend’s veteran athletes supported by young talent

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The blue-singlet-clad Legend wrestlers piled up the points to take first place in the team standings at the Dec. 5 Warrior Invitational wrestling tournament at Arapahoe High School.

The Titans took the tournament championship by amassing 170 points, well ahead of the 136 points scored by Fruita Monument. The other area teams at the tournament included Douglas County, which finished eighth, and Highlands Ranch, which finished 16th, in the 17-team field.

With almost 200 wrestlers competing in the tournament, it was a day of nonstop action. The Warrior Invitational used a 16-wrestler bracket for each of the 14 weight divisions, which range from 106 pounds to 285 pounds. It was a double-elimination format, which means a wrestler must lose two matches to be

eliminated from competition.

Legend entered wrestlers in all 14 weight divisions. Every wrestler earned points for the team, and Dustin Marvin (120 pounds), Adam Aguilar (138 pounds), Micah Strahan (172 pounds) and Kyle Stewart (220 pounds) each won division championships.

“We have a strong team this season,” Legend coach Nick Rider said. “We are a team of veterans, which includes five regional placers and one state placer. Our seven seniors are our leaders, but we have a lot of good young kids, too.”

Rider said entering competitions like the Warrior Invitational helps set the tone for the season.

“This format lets the kids know you have to wrestle hard every time on the mat to stay in the competition,” he said. “This tournament also is the real deal with so many very good wrestlers in the competition. It is good experience for our kids because it is the opportunity to see teams we wouldn’t see otherwise.”

Carl Fletcher, Legend’s 132-pounder, finished fourth in his weight division.

“I took up wrestling to make me tougher and to teach me mental disci-

pline, and it has,” said Fletcher, who has been wrestling for five years. “I feel I am a lot better wrestler this year since I wrestled all summer. It helped me work hard to be aggressive, keep on my opponent as I look for a way to put him on his back.”

Douglas County coach Gary Hartman said the Huskies are a young, inexperienced team.

“This tournament is good for our young kids because they go up against quality talent,” he said. “We also have a good junior varsity team that went 5-0 in duals.”

Most of the Huskies wrestlers got at least one win in the tournament. Donnie Negus had the best performance, placing second at 182 pounds. Teammate Calvin Bowman was fourth at 160 pounds.

Coach Anthony Castillo said about half of his Highlands Ranch wrestlers are freshmen, but the Falcons do have one regional placer and a solid senior athlete on the roster.

“We do have young talent with 30 to 35 wresters in the room,” he said. “A few of the young kids have some wrestling experience, but most of the freshmen are new to wrestling.”

Tim Yount has released his preseason On The Mat rankings.

In Class 5A, Pomona was the preseason topranked team.

Ponderosa was sixth, Chaparral seventh, Castle View Jim Benton 11th and Arvada West 12th.

OVERTIME Two-time state champion Tomas Gutierrez of Pomona was ranked No. 1 in the 120-pound class while Jackson Huffman of Horizon topped the list of 126-pound wrestlers.

Cherry Creek’s state champion Matt Finesilver was No. 1 at 145 pounds. Other top-ranked wrestlers were Chaparral’s Dawson Cranmer at 170 pounds, Mountain Vista’s Trent Schultz at 195 pounds and Ponderosa’s Cohlton Schultz at 220.

Plains Conference Most Valuable Player Ponderosa senior tight end Matt Brady was named the 4A Plains League Most Valuable Player, according to Mustangs coach Jaron Cohen.

Brady caught 51 passes for 522 yards and five touchdowns. He was also valuable on the defensive line. He had 37 total tackles that included five for losses.

Other Ponderosa first team selections were wide receiver Nick Wilson, offensive lineman Jake Grimm and offensive lineman Zach Birkbeck.

Back home from Dominican Republic Chaparral senior Emily Moore is back home and more enlightened about life in the Dominican Republic.

Moore, 17 other softball and baseball players, a few parents, and Chap softball and baseball coach Alan DiGiosio spent the week of Thanksgiving in the Dominican Republic to complete Phase Two of the Diamond Project in which softball equipment donated last fall was sent to the Dominican Republic.

“It was an amazing trip,” recalled Moore. “We played four games against teams from the DR and we also put on a fast-pitch clinic for local girls. It was so awesome to see how even though we live 2,500 miles away in different countries with a language barrier, we still understand the same game with the same rules and same passion.

“We got to spend a lot of time in the towns and hanging out with the locals.

Everyone was so nice and friendly and generous to us. It was really an eyeopener. Most people down there have so little, yet they still are so kind and happy.

Here in the United States we have so much and unfortunately we often just take it all for granted.”

Community Connection International, which helped arrange the trip to the Dominican Republic, is accepting donations that are mainly used to give the literacy coaches in Consuelo a meager monthly salary. The goal this December is to increase the four monthly donors to 20. Information can be obtained from Chaparral teacher Angie Bennett, who is the CEO of the nonprofit CCI, at bennettcci@gmail.com.

International Bowl participant Cherry Creek junior linebacker Santino Marchiol has been named to the United States Under 18 national football team that has been assembled by USA Football.

He will be one of 56 players on Team USA who will play a team from Canada in the 2016 International Bowl, which will be held Jan. 31 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.

Accordingly, Applicant requests that there Publisher: Douglas County News-Press no further requirement to continue to deliver augmentation water to replace post-pumping stream depletions.

9. Statement of Plan Operation: A. Evaporation of Exposed Ground Water. The Woodhouse Sump exposes alluvial ground water tributary to Plum Creek, as described hereinabove, resulting in consumption of water by evaporation. The amount of such consumptive use is estimated to be 0.812 AF/yr. See Table 1, above, and Exhibit C. B. Stream Depletions from Alluvial Accretions.

Alluvial, non-tributary and not non-tributary ground water accretes to the Woodhouse Sump during certain months of the irrigation season due to operations of the irrigation system. Total annual stream depletions due to the operation of the sump and evaporative losses are approximately 9.212 acre feet per year. Total accretions to the stream from operation of the Woodhouse sump are approximately 4.93 acre-feet. See Appendix A, Exhibit C. C. Replacement of Depletions. Evaporative losses of exposed ground water and irrigation season stream depletions will be fully replaced with nontributary (or not nontributary) groundwater as described herein; by fully consumptive use water leased from CPNMD; and/or by return flows of fully consumable water from the sod irrigation operations. Such replacement sources will adequately replace all evaporative losses and stream depletions in an amount and in such a manner as to prevent injury to all other vested and decreed conditional water rights. 10. Proposed Terms and Conditions: A. Limitation on Use. Use of the Woodhouse Sump will be limited to an amount of nontributary and not nontributary groundwater available to the Applicants under the decree in Case No. 03-CW-205, Water Division 1 and the amount of water leased from CPNMD. B. Record Keeping. All structures referenced in this plan will be equipped with operative and actively maintained measuring devices that are acceptable to the Division Engineer. C. Accounting and Reporting. Applicants will perform all necessary accounting functions and make reports to the Division Engineer as requested. A sample accounting form is attached hereto as Exhibit D and will be attached to the proposed ruling and decree. D. No Injury. The plan requested herein will prevent injurious effect upon other owners or persons entitled to use water under vested or decreed conditional water rights. 11. Name and Address of Owners of Land Upon Which Water Rights Are Located: Applicants J&C Properties, LLC, and Jahanbin Gandomcar. WHEREFORE, Applicants request this Court to enter a decree: A. Granting the application herein and awarding the plan for augmentation requested herein.

Pursuant to Section 37-92-305, C.R.S., Applicants request this Court to enter a ruling and decree granting the application herein and finding specifically that the proposed plan for augmentation may be operated without causing injury to the vested or decreed conditional water rights of others. FURTHER, Applicants request this Court grant such other relief that it deems proper in this matter. (6 Pages.)

“I knew we needed a big play,” said Schelhaas “The play before I said, ‘Don’t look for anyone else to make it, make it yourself.’ I saw the guy running, and he had the ball out wide. I just came in and hit the ball, and we fell on it.”

Valor, with the help of a 29-yard end-around sprint from Waters, capitalized on the turnover when freshman Joshia Davis scored on a 4-yard run. McCaffrey found Cole Baker in the end zone for a two-point conversion and Valor had a 29-26 lead, its first of the game, with 2:23 remaining.

Pomona was unable to mount a comeback of its own and turned the ball over on downs, and Valor started its victory cel-

ebration.

Pomona dominated play in the first three quarters, and appeared ready to add its second state championship trophy in its six title-game appearances.

“If you look at the yardage in the first half, we were pretty much even with them,” said Sherman. “It wasn’t about we had no idea of what to do. It was about getting into a drive and putting the ball into the end zone, which I thought we did much better in the fourth quarter.”

McCaffrey completed 20-of28 passes for 197 yards and a touchdown despite being under pressure most of the game from the Pomona pass rush. He ran for 51 yards and a score.

Davis, a freshman running back, was the Eagles’ top rusher with 89 yards and two touchdowns as Valor wound up with a 398-286 edge in total offense and held a 25:38 to 17:17 advantage in

time of possession, according to the official game statistics.

Waters caught nine passes for 95 yards and one touchdown. He rushed for 43 yards and had 77 yards in kickoff returns.

“This championship means more because I’m a senior,” said Waters. “It’s the best feeling I’ve ever had.”

Valor was concerned about Pomona’s ability to return kickoffs and squibbed all of its kicks, which gave the Panthers good field position. Pomona’s average start of drives after Valor kickoffs was its own 40-yard line.

Baker and Tanner Tandra each were credited with seven tackles to pace the Valor defense while linebacker Gabriel Kortz had six.

“In our program, we don’t want to focus much of peaks and valleys,” said Sherman, whose team started with a 1-2 record but finished 12-2. “We’ll try not to be too over the moon.”

Benton Continued from Page 22

Perfect season for placekicker Arapahoe placekicker Nate Rapue didn’t miss when he was sent out to convert an extra point or kick a field goal.

Rapue made 26 of 26 points after touchdown kicks and connected on all six of his field goal attempts to finish the season with 44 points.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF NOV. 30, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might feel that you have all the answers right now. But it might be wise to listen to other ideas before you decide to close the lid on other possibilities.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Bovines give and expect loyalty, so it might not be easy to reconcile with someone you feel let you down. Why not ask a neutral party to set up a clear-the-air meeting?

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Anticipating the holidays with family and friends fuels your must-do Gemini energies. But try to pace yourself so you’ll be up for whatever comes along later.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) More background information might come through regarding a decision you expect to make. Be sure to check the source carefully before you move.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) The strong, nurturing nature of the Lion comes through this week as you reach out to family and friends in need of your warm and loving support.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A relationship that has almost totally unraveled could be close to being restored with more effort on your part to be more patient and less judgmental.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your sense of fair play is strong this week, which can cause a problem with a longtime relationship. But in the end, you’ll know what decision to make.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You might not know all the facts behind an unwelcome development, so keep that Scorpion temper in check and resist lashing out at anyone.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) This is a good time to reinforce relationships -- family, friends, colleagues -- that might have been overlooked in recent years.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Avoid any influence of negative energy in this week’s aspect by not allowing small problems to grow into large ones. Work them out immediately.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A friend might need advice on how to deal with a challenge to his or her moral values. And who better than you to give the honest answer?

Good luck.
