glurie@ourcoloradonews.com Elizabeth High’s gymnastic squad has been blessed with success ever since Coach Stacey Folmar started the program in 2006.

The Cardinal gymnasts are the defending state champs and the No. 1 seed going into the 4A regional championships Oct. 26 at Cherry Creek High.

“It’s been quite a run,” said Folmar. “I couldn’t be more proud of what these girls have accomplished.”

At the state meet, to be held Nov. 1 and 2 at Thornton High, the team will be trying to tumble their way to a fourth state title in just the last eight years — including 2009

“We have more depth this year, including four seniors who all contribute,” Fol-

mar said. “Even though the competition in the Jefferson County League this year has been a lot stiffer than in years past, I feel good about our chances, both at regionals and at state.”

Folmar, who grew up in Meadville, Pa., and was an accomplished gymnast herself, operates the Chalk Box, a popular gymnastics school and training facility north of Elizabeth.

Together with EHS assistant coach Val Koppinger, she has been putting in extra time in recent weeks prepping the Cardinal tumblers for their final meets of the season.

Injuries have been an issue for this year’s squad, she said, but the team “should be back at full strength just in time for the season’s home stretch.”

The Cardinals have only lost once this year, falling to 5A Arvada West in their first meet of the season.

Beverly Durant has resigned as executive director of the Elizabeth Chamber of Commerce.

Durant’s resignation was announced by the chamber board in an email sent to members on Oct. 16.

In her own emotional email message to chamber members, also sent on Oct. 16, Durant confirmed the news: “It is with deep regret that I must tell you that I will be leaving the Chamber,” she wrote. “I have decided to be at home with my family. I have truly enjoyed working with all of you and getting to know each and every one of you.

I feel truly blessed to have known you all.

Thank you for all the laughs, experiences, and relationships. I will miss everyone and hope nothing but great success for the future!”

Durant has led the Elizabeth Chamber since January 2008. Her last day on the job was October 23.

“The duties of this position have just continued to grow over the years,” Durant said during her final week on the job. “I’ve been getting busier and busier and burning the candle at both ends for too long now.”

Explaining that her husband has had “health issues” for the past year, Durant, who lives north of Kiowa, added: “I’ve got to be home taking care of my family and the ranch.”

Debbie Ullom, president of the chamber’s board of directors, credited Durant with increasing chamber membership and visibility during her nearly six-year tenure.

“We will miss Beverly’s smiling face and cheerful attitude in the office,” Ullom said.

“The board will make every effort to have the (director) position filled by the end of the year,” Ullom added. “We are exploring the option of (hiring) two part-time employees with two distinct job descriptions.”

Construction begins on fire station Elizabeth, Rattlesnake partner on joint project

By George Lurie

glurie@ourcoloradonews.com Work began this month on a new fire station that will be operated jointly by the Elizabeth and Rattlesnake Fire Protection Districts.

Located on a 10-acre parcel on Singing Hills Road just east of County Road 21, construction of the new fire facility is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year.

Given the fact that officials from both agencies just broke ground on the joint

project on Oct. 9, the rapid construction schedule is due, in part, to the fact that the facility’s main structure is a prefabricated steel building that was delivered directly to the construction site earlier this month.

Elizabeth Fire Chief T.J. Steck said the projected cost to buy and set up the steel structure and purchase the necessary equipment to open the new station will be “somewhere around $200,000.”

“By building a joint station that serves both the Elizabeth and Rattlesnake Fire Protection areas, we figured we could save the taxpayers at least $2 or $3 million,” said Steck, who called the initial blueprints for Station continues on Page 17

Libraries work together for better service The Colorado Association of Libraries holds an annual conference for librarians of all types to come together and network, learn about current library trends, and be inspired to bring innovative new ideas back to their own libraries. This year the conference was Oct. 17-19 in Loveland.

I am particularly excited about this year’s conference, which is breaking out of the mold of a traditional conference format. Approximately 500 librarians are registered for this year’s conference, and we will all gather together for keynote presentations on broad topics that are germane to all types of libraries. Themes such as Engage, Dare, and Pitch encourage us to think outside the box and dream of new ways to serve our library communities. Guest speakers include New Belgium Brewing Company; Kazoo & Company Toys; and Todd Henry, the Accidental Creative. We are drawing on speakers from

outside of the profession to inspire the profession.

Amy Long, conference co-chair and manager of the Parker Library in Douglas County, said about the conference: “This is a unique chance to do something new and different to help libraries come together and focus on how to better serve our communities, respond to changes like advances in technology and the changing needs of our patrons, and figure out how

to articulate our value to those communities we serve.”

At the conference, I will become president of the Colorado Association of Libraries (CAL). I was honored to be elected president-elect last year and have spent the past year learning more about the association and its priorities as I prepare to assume this leadership role. CAL represents all types of libraries, not just public libraries such as the one I direct. It also serves school libraries in support of K-12 education as well as academic libraries — both community colleges and universities — and special libraries such as the Denver Seminary and the U.S. Geological Library.

The common thread among all types of libraries is that we provide and enrich information opportunities and resources for our constituents. In communities with multiple types of libraries, our services overlap as we support information literacy

Farmers tied to listeria outbreak sue auditor Associated Press Two Colorado farmers whose cantaloupes were tainted with listeria have filed a lawsuit blaming a food-safety auditor that didn’t pick up safety problems and gave the farm a “superior” rating just a month before the nation’s deadliest case of foodborne illness in a quarter century.

Eric and Ryan Jensen owned Jensen Farms, which sold melons connected to a 2011 listeria outbreak that killed 33 people.

The Jensens were charged last month with introducing adulterated food into interstate commerce and are expected to plead guilty Oct. 22 under a deal with federal prosecutors.

The Jensens filed a lawsuit Oct 15 against PrimusLabs, a Santa Maria, Calif., food safety auditor that checked Jensen Farms in July of 2011. The PrimusLabs auditor didn’t note that the Jensens’ processing system posed a risk of contamination.

The Jensens, who have since filed for bankruptcy, argue that they asked the foodsafety auditor about a new processing system, which removed a step of rinsing the

TIRE

melons with chlorinated water. According to the Jensens’ lawsuit, the PrimusLabs auditor “did not warn Jensen that the new system created a hazard or a risk of contamination.”

A call to PrimusLabs last week wasn’t immediately returned. The Jenses are seeking unspecified damages and legal fees.

According to the FDA, conditions at Jensen Farms in southeast Colorado led to the 2011 outbreak. Federal investigators said the melons likely were contaminated in the farm’s packing house because of dirty water on the floor and old, hard-to-clean equipment.

Officials said people in 28 states ate the contaminated fruit, and 147 required hospitalization.

The Jensens each faced up to six years in prison and $1.5 million in fines had they been convicted of all of the original charges against them. They are scheduled to change their not-guilty pleas on Oct. 22.

Messages left for the lawyers for the Jensens, Richard Banta and Forrest Lewis, weren’t immediately returned last week. The PrimusLabs was filed in Prowers County, Colo.

Amendment 66 is no easy sell Tax hike for schools generates opposition

By Sandra Fish

I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS Teachers unions and several wealthy Coloradans are spending millions to convince voters to agree to almost $1 billion annually in higher income taxes devoted to public schools.

But they face an uphill battle with an electorate that rarely agrees to increase taxes. And opponents of the measure say they’d like to spend at least $1 million in the fight, though the sources of that money likely won’t be revealed.

Amendment 66 would raise the state income tax rate from 4.63 percent to 5 percent on the first $75,000 of taxable income and to 5.9 percent on taxable income beyond $75,000. It would be the first tiered income tax since a single tax rate was adopted in 1988.

I-News Network at Rocky Mountain PBS and Maplight are teaming up on VotersEdge.org/Colorado, a website offering details about the proposal’s pros and cons, its funding and daily updates on news stories.

The site also offers information on Proposition AA, which would place taxes on retail marijuana sales statewide.

Amendment 66 would raise about $950 million a year in the first year and about $1 billion after that. And it would require that 43 percent of the state’s general fund go to pre-K-12 public schools.

The initiative would fund a revamped school finance formula that would give more money to districts with higher proportions of at-risk and non-English speaking students, as well as increased funding

for preschool and kindergarten students.

It’s a more complex proposal than those in the past — including a 2011 effort that would have temporarily raised sales and income taxes for education, but lost with only 36 percent of the vote.

“That was a temporary fix, and it didn’t have widespread initial support,” said Curtis Hubbard of the 2011 effort.

Hubbard is a spokesman for Colorado Commits to Kids, the pro-Amendment 66 group that raised more than $7.7 million through Oct. 9.

Some have doubts

Despite promises that money will go to classrooms as specified by the Legislature’s Senate Bill 213, which revises the school finance formula but will not take effect if Amendment 66 doesn’t pass, not everyone is convinced.

Norma Anderson was in the state Legislature for 19 years, serving as both House and Senate majority leader. She was a key author of the 1994 school finance act, which would be replaced by Amendment 66, and she is still active in education efforts.

A Republican, Anderson is one of the leaders of Coloradans for Real Education Reform, a primary opponent of the tax hike.

“My concern on this, it’s a budget nightmare, and you’re tying up the general fund in the Constitution,” she said. “It’s too much money, and I’m not sure it’s going to the right places.”

Hubbard counters that the bill changing the funding formula requires annual audits of spending, a website to allow the public to compare how money is spent and a return-on-investment study every four years.

Backed by Gov. John Hickenlooper, at least 25 school districts and several local

chambers of commerce, Colorado Commits to Kids spent more than $1.4 million to collect signatures to put the issue on the ballot, and is now spending on television advertisements, fliers and other strategies to support the initiative.

That compares with $7,605 for Kids Before Unions and $14,500 for Coloradans for Real Education Reform. The Independence Institute, a libertarian Denver think tank, donated $10,800 to the latter group.

An Independence Institute program, Kids Are First, is running television ads against Amendment 66. As a nonprofit, the organization doesn’t have to file disclosures with the Colorado Secretary of State.

The Kids Are First donation page says it has raised $668,025 of a $1 million goal.

“I’d love to spend $1 million,” said Jon Caldara, president of the Independence Institute, though he said some of the advertising is coming from the think tank’s general budget. “As a (nonprofit) organization, we don’t report to the secretary of state.”

Deep pockets

Backers of Amendment 66 are disclosing their donors, though, revealing some of Colorado’s deep pockets in campaign finance.

The bulk of that money comes from large donors. Among them: The National Education Association gave $2 million through Oct. 9.

The Colorado Education Association gave $2 million.

Pat Stryker, the medical technology heiress from Fort Collins, gave $825,000.

The Gary Community Investment Co., operated by Sam Gary, founder of the Piton Foundation, gave $700,000.

Education Reform Now, a national nonprofit, and Ben Walton, a Walmart heir, each gave $500,000.

Other six-figure donors include David Merage, $254,314; Rose Community Foundation, $200,000; Stand for Children, $103,409; and Kaiser Permanente Financial Services Operations and Davita Total Renal Care at $100,000 each.

Since voters approved the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights in 1992, they also must ratify any state or local tax increase, even if it’s to retain tax money that exceeds the TABOR financial formula.

Of 16 funding proposals since 1993, voters have approved only five. One of those, Amendment 23 in 2000, didn’t increase taxes or fees — it simply required lawmakers to increase spending on K-12 schools.

Two years ago, voters defeated an effort to raise income and sales taxes for five years to fund education.

Supporters hope that emphasizing benefits for individual school districts will sway voters this time around. On Oct. 12, supporters of Amendment 66 organized to campaign for the measure in 15 communities, including Greeley, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Grand Junction, Durango, Steamboat Springs and others.

Carol Hedges, executive director of the Colorado Fiscal Institute, is optimistic about the 2013 proposal.

“I think Amendment 66 is the best opportunity we’ve had to actually pass a measure that will provide additional funding for school reform,” she said. “The recession really underscored for people how important education is to economic opportunity.”

Ruling clears path for homes Agreement goes out window as Canyons development comes in

By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com A high plateau of undeveloped grassland, 3,300 acres just east of Interstate 25 and Castle Pines, is expected to soon start turning into something else — “one of the best master-planned communities not only within the state but within the region,” in the words of Mark Nickless, general manager of The Canyons development.

“We’re excited about the possibility of getting this going,” he said of a plan that allows for 250 acres of commercial area and 2,500 homes. “The Alperts (landowners) have been working on this for a number of years.”

But his excitement isn’t shared by homeowners nearby who had agreed in 2000 to a much small development.

Years ago, Douglas County planners designated the area as a “special high plateau,” a place to restrict development and create a visually beautiful northern Douglas County gateway.

Real estate developer Lee Alpert ultimately got the OK from Douglas County commissioners to develop the land, but nearby homeowners with acreages in Happy Canyon subdivision were OK with it — because of an agreement, attorney and Happy Canyon resident John Goutell said recently.

Goutell said that in 2000, Alpert agreed

 

to leave 500 acres as open space from Castle Pines Parkway to Happy Canyon Road along I-25 and call it “The Preserve.” And on the remainder, there was to be a limit of 25 acres of commercial area and about 1,500 homes as well as a golf course and other amenities. And Happy Canyon wouldn’t have to worry about its water wells because the developer was going to help with water issues.

It was considered a “reasonable use” of land, Goutell said about the agreement.

But as of Sept. 27, the 2000 agreement is no more, Goutell said.

He said the developer used two law firms working full-time, spending more than $600,000 in legal costs, to plead their case to an arbitrator about why the agreement should be terminated.

The Happy Canyon homeowners association — with about a $10,000 legal budget and no legal help at first until Goutell moved into Happy Canyon and heard about the already underway arbitration — lost. Everything.

“It was the big developer against the little HOA,” Goutell said. “(Happy Canyon) doesn’t get anything. … It’s such a tragedy.”

Goutell said Happy Canyon, a development of about 500 acres, made up mainly of two-acre lots but some as large as 35 acres, is now entitled to nothing — no control over densities, no help with water, traffic or other impacts. He was told Alpert would be a good neighbor, but when he asked for that assurance on paper, he was refused.

And now a much bigger project is in the works.

With arbitration behind the developer, there now can be an even bigger development — with 10 times the commercial area

allowed in the Happy Canyon agreement now about 250 acres instead of 25 acres — and up to 2,500 homes.

The developer can now have those higher densities because in 2009 Castle Pines annexed the property into the city and OK’d that heavier zoning to be allowed if and when the Happy Canyon agreement was ever terminated, Goutell said.

There is no plan for a golf course now — and no 500 acres of open space. About 100 acres along I-25, just south of Castle Pines Parkway exit, is designated for mixed uses. The rest, 400 acres, south of the 100 mixed-use acres, is no longer open space, but is being called “farm zoning,” which allows for barns, storage and other things.

But that farm zoning isn’t necessarily permanent.

“Situations can change,” Nickless said.

But he said the intention is to “develop the plan within the confines of our current zoning.”

“I don’t have the impression that the developer is going to reach out to us,” said Michael Anderson, president of the Happy Canyon Homeowners Association, who saw the situation as a David and Goliath scenario, with the giant winning. “I certainly welcome that contact.”

Goutell said both sides won’t ever know the reasons for why the arbitrator, a former dean of the University of Denver’s law school, ruled the way he did because the homeowners association could only afford to pay for the cheaper “yes or no” decision and not the more expensive “reasoned decision,” which would have given a written explanation about the decision.

Goutell said the developer’s legal team somehow successfully argued at the arbi-

tration hearing that because 146 acres of The Canyons had been condemned during the past development of the Rueter-Hess Reservoir, the 2000 agreement could be terminated.

Goutell said their position was that a section in the agreement addressed allowing termination of the agreement if a court invalidated the property’s zoning. And they said the taking of land for the dam created “a domino effect that effectively invalidated their zoning,” Goutell said.

Goutell said courts have invalidated zoning at times, but his position in this case is that the eminent-domain condemnation of a “tiny percentage” of land didn’t constitute an invalidation of The Canyons’ zoning. Also, he said the Alpert family received $5 million in compensation for that condemned land, more than they could have made from the dozen housing lots.

Nickless commented that the arbitration “was a private matter, agreed upon.

We want to respect it was a private matter.”

Castle Pines Councilmember James Einolf told the News-Press he thinks “this is a sad day for homeowners in Colorado. Apparently, covenants that `run with the land in perpetuity’ actually last only until someone with enough time and money comes along and takes you to court.

“I’m ashamed that the City of Castle Pines ever entered into this pact with The Canyons, and that we now stand to profit — or at least, to appear to profit — from the misfortune of the homeowners of Happy Canyon,” he said, referring to the million dollars the city is to receive from the developer to lessen the city’s impacts as it has to maintain the development’s streets, among other responsibilities.

Yes, there’s an app for that

Technology increasingly used to track behavior

LOCAL ADS, COUPONS, SPECIAL OFFERS & MORE

By Anne Flaherty Associated Press

Ever suspect you do more housework than your spouse? Or that certain tasks at work raise your blood pressure? Maybe you wonder why you’re sneezing more lately, or if carbs are really what is making you tired after lunch?

Turns out, there’s an app or gadget to test all of that. Advancements in wearable body sensors, mobile applications and other gadgets mean that nearly everything we do can be captured, logged and analyzed.

And everyday consumers are jumping at the chance to conduct their own experiments — tracking sleep, caffeine intake, kids’ studying habits, household chores, even whether a baby is nursing more frequently on Mom’s left breast versus her right.

“I don’t know if I’d use the word ‘obsessed,’ “ said Ernesto Ramirez, a self-tracking devotee who helped to organize a two-day conference on the subject last week in San Francisco. Speakers at past “Quantified Self” conferences have included a man who developed his own app to see if he could walk every street in Manhattan and a dad who used trackers on his kids to monitor chores.

“I think there’s an overall trend toward curiosity and proving knowledge of one’s self in the world,” Ramirez said.

When Tim Davis of Beaver, Pa., tipped the scales at 318 pounds two years ago, he bought a Fitbit gadget to track his physical activity and the Lose It! app on his phone to track calories. He bought a Wi-Fi-enabled scale that published his daily weight on his Twitter feed and turned to other apps to track his pulse, blood pressure, daily moods and medications. At one point, Davis said he was using 15 different apps and gadgets, which he said helped him drop 64 pounds by that following year.

“It’s the second-by-second, minute-by-minute changes that really did it,” said Davis, 39. “If you’re the type of person who likes gadgets and devices and to collect metrics, you’re also the kind of person who does not like gaps in data.”

A pediatrician in Kansas City, Mo., Natasha Burgert, said apps that track newborn feedings and sleep patterns have become wildly popular among her patients and she now encourages parents to send her the data before their appointments.

“In the first few weeks, parents are so tired. It’s really hard for them to

Associated Press When we sleep, our brains get rid of gunk that builds up while we’re awake, suggests a study that may provide new clues to treat Alzheimer’s disease and other disorders.

This cleaning was detected in the brains of sleeping mice, but scientists said there’s reason to think it happens in people too.

If so, the finding may mean that for people with dementia and other mind disorders, “sleep would perhaps be even more important in slowing the progression of further damage,” Dr. Clete Kushida, medical director of the Stanford Sleep Medicine Center, said in an email.

Kushida did not participate in the study, which appears in the most recent issue of the journal Science.

Cell phones are about much more than communication, with apps available to track more and more activities in life. Metro Creative Connection give you objective data,” Burgert said.

Public health advocates and researchers say tracking technology could be used to encourage people to use less gasoline, conserve water or drive slower by giving them real-time feedback on their daily habits. It also could expose causes of medical conditions that baffle doctors.

HopeLab, based in Redwood, Calif., is one nonprofit looking to harness technology to improve health.

It has developed a $30 movementtracking device for kids called a “Zamzee,” and a website that rewards activity with online points and badges.

HopeLab has developed video games for young cancer patients that lets them pretend to blast cancer cells. Researchers there say their studies have shown that the game improved patients’ moods and encouraged them to stick with treatment.

“When you give people a sense of autonomy, a sense of agency, that can actually be very transformative to their health,” said HopeLab spokesman Richard Tate.

Ramirez said he thinks the next step will be embedding sensors in nearly everything a person encounters throughout the day and linking that information together. Think of a car that won’t start if you’ve consumed too much alcohol or a light bulb that changes colors when it’s time to go to bed.

Industry watchers say these kinds of data-driven apps are finding their place in a market that has struggled to profit from advertising.

Raj Aggarwal, CEO of Localytics, a Boston-based analytics firm, says mobile games are still by far the most popular among consumers, but their fan base can be fickle. If a data-logging app is useful enough, it can convince consumers that they should pay for upgraded subscriptions or premium services that earn the developers money.

One mobile app called “GymPact” has found a novel way of making money off its consumers’ data. The app lets people bet against one another as to whether they will go to the gym. The non-exercisers have to pay the exercisers, with GymPact taking a cut.

But what becomes of all this data?

In theory, most apps let you delete your information. But programs such as the FitBit reserve the right to keep and analyze your information, and possibly pass along the data to third parties to make sure the program works as promised. What would happen if these tech companies decide to package and sell all that data? Could a person ever be denied a job or life insurance, for example, if their mobile app showed they tried but never quit smoking?

Poorly encrypted data or lax privacy controls could become a problem, too.

In 2011, some FitBit users were surprised to see their sexual activity logs pop up in Google searches; that’s something FitBit’s privacy settings allowed at the time unless a person knew to opt out. FitBit has since modified its policy to keep hidden more sensitive data unless someone configures his or her account specifically to share it.

As for Davis and his fight to lose weight, he said his biggest mistake was letting his FitBit gadget lose its charge last year. Without the continual feedback, and perhaps a mobile app to remind him, Davis’ motivation waned and his weight climbed to 292 pounds.

But Davis insists he won’t stay that way for long. He has persuaded his family members and coworkers to wear self-measuring devices, sparking a friendly rivalry.

“Keep an eye on me,” he said of the months ahead. “I think you’ll see a difference.”

Study: Sleep cleans out gunk in brain Findings may offer hope for Alzheimer’s treatment

eye have trouble learning and making decisions, and are slower to react. But despite decades of research, scientists can’t agree on the basic purpose of sleep. Reasons range from processing memory, saving energy to regulating the body.

The latest work, led by scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center, adds fresh evidence to a long-standing view: When we close our eyes, our brains go on a cleaning spree.

The team previously found a plumbing network in mouse brains that flushes out cellular waste. For the new study, the scientists injected the brains of mice with beta-amyloid, a substance that builds up in Alzheimer’s disease, and followed its movement. They determined that it was removed faster from the brains of sleeping mice than awake mice.

The team also noticed that brain cells tend to shrink during sleep, which widens the space between the cells. This allows waste to pass

through that space more easily.

Though the work involved mouse brains, lead researcher Dr. Maiken Nedergaard said this plumbing system also exists in dogs and baboons, and it’s logical to think that the human brain also clears away toxic substances. Nedergaard said the next step is to look for the process in human brains.

In an accompanying editorial, neuroscientist Suzana HerculanoHouzel of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro said scientists have recently taken a heightened interest in the spaces between brain cells, where junk is flushed out.

It’s becoming clearer that “sleep is likely to be a brain state in which several important housekeeping functions take place,” she said in an email.

The study was funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. In a statement, program director Jim Koenig said the finding could lead to new approaches for treating a range of brain diseases.

opinions / yours and ours

How our values drive our success One of my very favorite things about being in the coaching, training, and learning and development industry is when I have an opportunity to meet and observe other trainers or facilitators, authors, and subject matter experts.

I am sharing this with you because I had a wonderful opportunity to sit in on a session recently conducted by Peter Thomas. His career and accomplishments were extremely impressive, however his presentation was focused on values, and it was his passion and conviction around this topic that really captured my attention. Although he normally delivers the course over two days, the four-hour abbreviated version had a tremendous impact on me and how I see and define my own success.

What are my values? What do I value most? Why do I value these things? Intuitively I have understood the importance of identifying my values and their relation to my success and have spent time identifying them in the past and even committing

them to writing. Yet during this recent session with Peter Thomas I questioned and even challenged myself a little on how much emphasis I was placing on my own values and was I really living those values.

Typically when I teach a class or coach a client and we discuss values I hear words like honesty, integrity, family, knowledge, and other very nice words and strong values.

So when I was tasked with working through my own, I came up with about 14 words or values. Then after thinking through them a little more I distilled the

letter to the editor richardson for school board

I often find that choosing the right candidate during election time can be confusing. However, I have a little more insight this year on one candidate running for the Elizabeth C1 School Board. I was fortunate to work on the Board’s Infrastructure Assessment Committee (IAC) this past year with nine other incredible people. The committee was ably chaired

by Chris Richardson, now running for a seat on the board.

Chris is an outstanding leader. He has the ability to inspire people and get the best from them. He empowered and encouraged each of us on the committee to use our respective professional backgrounds to the fullest. He showed tremendous leadership ability while guiding our group of volunteers through a very complex and thorough assessment of our district’s facilities, information technology structure and our transportation operations. If you see the report we produced, I think you will agree that Chris used our individual talents to elevate the entire group without needing to take personal credit.

I find that Chris is an excellent listener.

He will dig deeper to make sure he understands the issues. He is open to input from all and can assimilate a variety of information into a thoughtful response.

Chris is very solution-oriented. He will not only identify the problem, but will seek to find appropriate solutions. He is practical, yet creative in his approach. He does not settle for “status quo,” but encourages people to think differently for answers.

I have seen Chris work tirelessly to address the needs of our students. He is dedicated to making positive change, he is open to input from all, does not seek personal credit, and has strong convictions. Chris Richardson will be a valuable addition to the board. I urge you to vote for Chris Richardson in the upcoming School Board election, I know I will.

Marijuana Equalization Initiative” (Amendment 64). As a framer and supporter of Amendment 64, the purpose of the measure was to bring marijuana out of Prohibition and regulate it like alcohol.

Colorado’s alcohol industry pays less than 1 percent in state excise taxes.

Prohibition does not work. Excessive taxes are another form of Prohibition.

The pro-tax campaign is supported by what Jacob Sullum of Reason magazine has accurately labeled “The Marijuana Cartel,” i.e. large dispensaries and drug dealers that use burdensome and expensive government regulation and taxation to suppress fair competition from smaller businesses.

The Pro-Tax campaign is running a campaign of fear, alleging that the U.S. Department of Justice wants high taxes on marijuana. I recently asked the U.S. attorney for Colorado, John Walsh, whether he supported Colorado Proposition AA, and he responded that the U.S. Department of Justice did not endorse Proposition AA. An Aug. 29 memo from the U.S. Department of Justice providing official guidance regarding marijuana does not even mention local or state taxes on marijuana, but does mention an enforcement system that is “effective in practice.” Excessive taxes create a dysfunctional system that is “ineffective in practice,” and creates a marijuana market ripe for takeover by the unregulated, untaxed, underground market.

Proposition AA would re-establish Prohibition and drive marijuana back underground, to the detriment of all Coloradans. Please vote “No” on Proposition AA. Robert J. Corry Jr. Treasurer and attorney, “No on Proposition AA” campaign Denver

This election, Colorado voters will consider Proposition AA, a 15 percent sales tax plus a 15 percent excise tax on marijuana sales. Colorado has never taxed a particular industry or product at this high of a rate. These taxes would be in addition to the federal, state, and local taxes already in place on marijuana.

Federal taxes on marijuana businesses and consumers are already higher than any other industry due to the inability of these businesses to take full deductions.

Proposition AA would be the highest tax increase in Colorado history, a reckless experiment that would create a dysfunctional market for marijuana, undermining the goal of the “Alcohol-

There are one or two things I don’t understand. One or two thousand. Tops on my list is why a baseball manger wears a wristwatch in the dugout.

Baseball is one of the few sports that isn’t timed. Golf is another one — but you only have so much time to hit your shot.

There are clocks all over baseball stadiums. So why would you wear a wristwatch?

It must be vanity, or superstition. I don’t have a single superstition. I wish I did. I embrace the number 13. I met my beloved on the 13th.

There’s another thing I don’t understand. It’s something that is going on right now. The James Holmes trial may last eight months. It should last eight minutes.

“For the first time, lawyers for James Holmes have admitted he killed 12 people and wounded dozens more at an Aurora movie theater last summer,” the Denver Post reported.

I don’t understand why they put headlight decals on NASCAR cars.

I don’t know why anyone would go to a fashion show.

I don’t understand why athletes point to the sky after they get a hit.

I don’t understand Pop Tarts or those scented, pine tree-shaped things you hang from your rearview mirror. How bad does it have to smell in your car before you hang a cardboard pine tree from the rearview mirror of a $20,000 car?

I will never understand Birkenstocks

list down to seven values and found the other words and values fit better as subvalues or categories.

If you don’t mind me sharing, here is what I do value: Faith, Family, Love, Trust, Kindness, Happiness, and Fitness. And the other values that fall somewhere under each one include: Togetherness, Compassion, Time, Quiet Time, Loyalty, Effort, Purpose, Commitment, Wisdom, and Peace, with some of these falling under more than one major value.

Have you considered what it is you really value and why? Success is different for everyone as some define success by status, money, achievements, and in many other ways.

What if we looked at success and measured our success in relation to our values instead of our accomplishments or at least alongside of them? If we compromise our values to achieve status or things, are we truly successful?

Murray respected by peers in Legislature Retiring lawmaker seen as practical, hard-working

By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com Colorado Speaker of the House Mark Ferrandino says he “disagrees on most things” with state Rep. Carole Murray, RCastle Rock, who recently announced she won’t run for a fourth term.

But he might even disagree with her retirement decision.

Ferrandino said despite their differences, “I’ve worked on a lot of issues with her.

“She can talk to both sides of the aisle,” he said. “We’re seeing less and less of that.”

Murray said recently she has watched her husband, a former high school principal, get into a “retirement frame of mind,” and is following his lead. “I’ve been a working woman for 50 years … I don’t want to live by the alarm anymore.”

Ferrandino said while Murray is very conservative, she knows how to craft a deal and work across the aisle. “She has a lot of respect for the process,” said Ferrandino, who is concerned that her successor might be more of an ideologue than a “consensus, practical” type of legislator.

“She’s a very well-respected legislator that you can work with even if you disagree.

She works hard. She knows her information. She’ll fight for what she believes.”

Sometimes she has managed to shock both sides of the aisle.

Murray — a former teacher possibly best known for her work on education reform who was named 2010 “Legislator of the Year” by the Colorado Community College System — made national news when she, a self-described “extremely conservative” Republican, voted earlier this year to support Colorado’s civil unions bill.

“It took significant political courage — you don’t see much political courage on both sides of the aisle — to get up and do what she thinks was (right),” said Ferrandino, who said he was shocked at her vote.

Colorado Sen. Mark Scheffel R-Parker said he didn’t agree with her position, but after talking with her, he “respected her thought process” on how she came to that decision.

“I’m a Carole fan,” he said. “It was an honor to serve with her.”

Murray told Colorado Community Media she was proudest of her 2011 role in outlawing artificial cannabanoids, the use and sale of the designer drug known as “Spice.” “(The bill) almost died at the end of the session a couple of years ago and I was able to resurrect it.”

She said she was also prime sponsor of HB 11-1293, which repealed a tax on downloadable software passed by the Democrats the previous year. “Very proud of that one, as the tax had the potential of negatively affecting every business in the state, since it was a tax on any program that was downloaded from the Internet,” she said.

Murray was also the House co-sponsor of a bill passed in 2010, SB 191, which requires that teachers be evaluated on student performance.

Rep. Frank McNulty R-Highlands recalled her ability to work with opponents, on education and other issues. “She could dismantle labor leaders’ contentions on education and then she could still go back and work with the chief advocates for status quo.”

“Carole could throw a grenade over the wall and then walk through the gate and check on the wounded,” he said.

She said she’s not sure who’s going to run for her seat. “I’m going to stay out of that one … With my position on civil unions I don’t know if they’ll want my support or not.”

Murray said her decision came down to “everyone needs to have equal responsibility and equal benefits in our society.” She said she didn’t think it was government’s role to make a judgment.

Murray, who is opposed to gay marriage, as marriage is a “religious construct,” said one thing that fueled her decision was that

Homes proposed along Mainstreet in Parker Carousel Farms on track for rezoning, annexation

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com The latest in a series of housing proposals would add 140 homes on the west end of Parker.

Parker Town Council approved the rezoning and annexation request for Carousel Farms on first reading at a meeting Oct. 7, and is expected to make a final decision during its 7 p.m. Oct. 21 meeting at town hall.

Century Communities is planning to build 140 single-family homes on 40 acres on the north side of Mainstreet, just west of Bradbury Ranch. The three properties that would be developed were owned by separate holding companies. If approved, a portion of the land would be rezoned from agricultural use to residential use.

Carousel Farms, with a proposed housing density of 3.5 dwelling units per acre, would connect via trail to Bradbury Ranch, and a 20- to 25-foot buffer would separate the neighborhoods. A representative for the Bradbury Ranch Homeowners’ Association said the organization would reserve comment on the development until after its Oct. 17 meeting.

A greenbelt proposed as a neighborhood buffer was eliminated and a handful of lot sizes on the eastern side of Carousel Farms were enlarged because of concerns that the greenbelt might become “unmaintained, collect trash and become a safety issue,” according to an engineer’s report.

“Though staff understands the intent of creating an open space buffer between the neighborhoods, we are concerned about the future of this space,” a representative from Peak Civil Consultants said.

Small parks and greenbelts totaling eight acres would dot the subdivision, which will have street names like Wooden Horse Street, Galloper Avenue and Flying Horse Way. Vacant horse stables and equestrian riding arenas occupy the site.

Because a school site is not located within Carousel Farms, a “school mitigation plan” has been included within the annexation contract, according to the neighborhood’s planned development guide. The plan sets a school mitigation fee of $2,523 per dwelling unit and a fee in lieu of a three-acre land dedication for a school site. The fee will be paid at the time of platting and be based upon the number of units.

A community clubhouse would be surrounded by lots measuring at least 4,800 square feet. The maximum building height allowed is 35 feet.

According to public referral comments from the Colorado Historical Society’s Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, an archaeological study has not been conducted on the land.

“There is the possibility that as yet unidentified cultural resources exist within the proposed impact area,” the society said. “Therefore, in the event there is federal or state involvement, we recommend that a professional survey be conducted to identify any cultural resources in the project area, which are eligible to be listed in the National Register of Historic Places.”

State Rep. Carole Murray, representing Dist. 45, recently announced she won’t run for a fourth two-year term.

Courtesy photo even though gay people have been adopting children for many years, there was nothing in the law that gave partners any certainty if something had happened to one of them. She said there had been cases when the remaining parent had to struggle to continue being the child’s parent.

“I’ve no regrets,” she said, about that position.

But she regrets she won’t be around to complete what she started in trying to update telecommunication laws that haven’t been updated in 25 years, and make sure the Internet isn’t regulated. “We don’t want to pile regulation on Internet communication because it will stifle innovation,” she said.

Murray taught junior high for a couple

years, and then in Douglas County was a stay-at-home mom, then an advertising manager for the Douglas County NewsPress, then later Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce’s executive director before running for Douglas County clerk and recorder, serving for eight years before running for the District 45 seat in 2008.

Scheffel, who grew up in Parker, has known Murray since before she was clerk and recorder, and she was involved in countless projects for the party and community.

“She refers to herself as a `change agent,’” he said. “That’s true.”

Now, for another change. She wants to travel with her husband, visit grandchildren, and garden.

Marijuana registry not going away Legal pot for public doesn’t change medical protocol

By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press

Colorado will maintain a medical marijuana registry, even though the drug is now legal for all adults and the registry has been criticized for security breaches.

The Colorado Board of Health, overseers of the medical pot registry, voted unanimously Oct. 16 to reject a patient petition to dismantle the registry and start another one because of security breaches.

The breaches were outlined in an audit earlier this year.

However, board members assured patients that they take seriously the security problems, which included using temporary employees to process medical marijuana patient applications without having them sign confidentiality pledges. In another case, the health department shared with auditors the names of 5,400 people designated to grow marijuana on behalf of others, without notifying the caregivers of the breach.

“People are discriminated against for being on the registry. I understand that fear,” board member Jill Hunsaker Ryan said.

Patient advocates are most concerned about access to the registry by law enforcement. The health department allows law enforcement to verify patient status

and says it can’t control what law enforcement does after that. Patients say there’s a “shadow registry” used by police to harass pot patients, something law enforcement agencies have denied.

One of the patient advocates who requested the registry be dismantled, Laura Kriho, told the board Oct. 16 that she frequently hears stories of cops knowing people are medical marijuana patients before the patients present a card.

“Clearly, law enforcement is getting access to the registry. There are too many of these complaints to fluff them off to paranoia,” Kriho said.

Kriho has declined to share the names of any patients, saying they fear losing jobs and other consequences for using marijuana The Board of Health rejected the same petition in August, when Kriho and other advocates asked for an emergency rule to dismantle the registry. The Oct. 16 vote means the question won’t move to formal rulemaking.

Board members planned to set up a “stakeholder” group including the upset patients as they explore security improvements without dismantling the registry.

Also on Oct. 16, the board agreed to consider lower marijuana patient fees by the end of the year.

Although marijuana use is now legal for all adults over 21 in Colorado, some 109,000 people are registered to use medical marijuana.

This medical marijuana dispensary is in Littleton, one of four in the city. File photo shop in dispensaries and possess more marijuana than a recreational user. The registry is not supposed to make money, just cover administrative costs. It once cost $90 a year to be a Colorado medical pot patient.

The administrator of Colorado’s pot patient registry, Ron Hyman, said patients are being asked for the first time what they think about fees. Options include lower fees for all, or a higher rate for a first-time

patient with free or low-cost annual renewals.

Hyman said that despite the security problems and legalization vote, Colorado’s medical registry remains vibrant. As of the end of August, the registry had more than 109,000 people. That’s more than the month before full legalization passed in 2012.

“I haven’t seen any evidence of it fading,” Hyman said.

Burn victim takes recovery in stride Teenager from Parker attends healing camps

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Young males are known for getting banged up while living on the wild side.

Nate Sheets might be their poster boy.

Scrapes, bruises and the occasional broken bone are par for the course when coming of age. But three years ago, Sheets endured something most people hope they never have to: severe burns. Then 12 years old, he was riding an ATV when he took off awkwardly from a jump and landed in a heap.

Sheets landed upside down with the machine on top of him. Worst of all, his left arm became wedged between the searinghot oil cap and exhaust pipe.

If not for his 14-year-old brother, who saw the accident and hauled the ATV off of him, it might have burned Sheets’ arm down to the bone.

He didn’t cry or scream out in pain.

There was no pain, in fact, because the metal that left a half-inch-deep brand on his flesh also burned the nerves.

“He looked melted. I would say that’s a great way to put it,” says his mother, Brenda Walstrom, who received a texted photo and message asking if she wanted to meet at the emergency room.

Despite the turmoil that might have ensued, Sheets took the aftermath in stride, cheerily greeting the doctors charged with cleaning the gravel and dirt-filled wound.

But he knew he was lucky.

Sheets hit his head, but did not suffer a concussion. He was wearing a helmet, something “everyone and their dog” asked him about following the crash, he says. He was also wearing goggles that caused a cut on his forehead and a black bruise on his eyelid. In typical adolescent fashion, he played up the injuries, telling stories of fending off a bear. Or when girls asked him,

Nathan Sheets, 15, of Parker, recounts the story of how he got severely burned during an ATV accident. Photos by Chris Michlewicz Sheets would say he “saved a bunch of kittens and babies from a burning building,” before revealing the real, less-flattering version of events.

Sheets, now 15, went through five casts, two skin grafts and countless compression sleeves, and the burns took more than a year to heal. His lengthy recovery was aided

by The Children’s Hospital, which not only treated Sheets, but invited him to a camp for young burn victims run by the Cheley organization. It was there that he swapped stories with kids who suffered burns over as much as 90 percent of their bodies.

Sheets’ most recent trip was in late September to Washington, D.C., where he visited several national landmarks with 100 child burn victims from the U.S. and Canada. He received a special invitation from South Metro Fire Rescue Firefighter Lee Maulsby to attend the International Burn Camp, run by the International Association of Firefighters.

Of course, trouble seems to find Sheets, or vice versa. During a winter camp for

burn victims in Steamboat Springs, he tried out the trick park on a snowboard. On the third jump, he broke his wrist on the same arm that was burned.

“It was the last day of camp at least,” says Sheets, who also admits to being back on an ATV within five months of the crash.

Walstrom calls her son a “glass-half-full kind of guy,” with a penchant for danger — and a high pain tolerance. On a separate occasion, he nearly ripped a finger off his left hand with a homemade can crusher.

Sheets laughs when his mom suggests that his left arm might pop off and run away, Addams Family-style.

Her son has returned from the skate park with a massive knot on his forehead, and split his lip wide open twice. For all of his run-ins with the ground, Sheets shows no signs of disfigurement, with the exception of the third-degree burn scars on his arm. Walstrom might be slightly mentally scarred, as she is more hesitant to answer her phone these days for fear of what news she might receive.

Nathan Sheets shows off the scar he got after an ATV flipped and landed on top of him, pinning his arm and inflicting third-degree burns that required two skin grafts.

Two Cardinals going to state Thompson, Terry earn individual berths in cross country

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews. com Gus Terry and Jake Thompson will represent Elizabeth at the Oct. 26 Class 4A state cross country meet that will be held at the North Penrose Center in Colorado Springs.

Terry and Thompson earned state berths by finishing in the top 15 runners at the Oct. 17 Class 4A regional cross country meet at deKoevend Park in Littleton.

The Cardinals were one of 14 teams running in Oct. 17 Class 4A regionals. For regionals, the start and finish lines were within sight of each other at the north end of the park. The runners then ran up the hill and traveled along the raised paths along the High Line Canal that circle DeKoevend Park before making a sharp turn and heading downhill to the finish line.

The top four teams qualified for state, as did the top 15 runners in the field.

The boys varsity race was run first. The leaders set a fast pace and, in the final mile Phillip Reid of Ponderosa took the lead and finished first with a time of 16:29.

Terry kept pace with the leaders and finished sixth with a time of 17:09 so he can return to the state meet.

“This was a fun race. Based on how competitive it was and how important this race is, I feel my performance today was my best performance of the year,” Terry said after the race. “I have run against most of these kids before, and I knew I would have to run a fast pace to stay near the front of the pack if I wanted to finish high enough in the field to go back to state.”

He said his strategy is to set his own pace and run so he is in the group of runners near the front of the field. “Cross country is my sport because running is my thing,” he said. “I also run track and I play basketball, but running is my favorite sport.”

He said the Elizabeth team ran

Thompson finished 13th with a time of 17:22.

Simla downs Kiowa in football Cubs beat Indians 30-8 in game on cold, slick field

By Scott Stocker

Special to Colorado Community Media A youthful Simla football team wrapped up the Class 1A, eight-man Black Forest League title last Oct. 18, beating Kiowa 30-8. Yet this one was much closer in its competitive nature than the score would indicate.

While the skies were clear, the field was still very slick from the Oct. 17 snowfall that covered the field until mid-afternoon in the game played at Kiowa. That right there caused some problems as well as the cold chill that greeted the players.

When it was over, a total of 10 fumbles had befallen the two squads, five each, as well as the two combining for seven pass interceptions. In this case, five by Simla, two by Kiowa.

Yet it was Simla, coached by Shane Zimmerman, that took advantage of the situation to improve to 4-0 in the league and 7-0 overall. Kiowa, under Mark Clemmons, fell to 3-1, 6-2. Now, the pair has to wait to see who they will be playing in the first round of the playoffs.

Simla only needed the first three plays of the game to get on the scoreboard as quarterback Cody Norris connected with Manual Galaviz for an 81-yard touchdown.

However, the try for a point after failed via

an incomplete pass.

That touchdown pass, by the way, would be the only one of two passes the Cubs would complete in the game. The other completion, by Simla’s Aaron Thieman to Norris for 30 yards and a touchdown, would come in the second quarter, lifting the Cubs to a 14-8 halftime lead.

It was also a touchdown that helped Simla regain the lead. Prior to the go-ahead score with 3:55 left in the second quarter, Kiowa had scored on a safety (with 7:43 left in the first quarter) and by a 65-yard pass interception by Caleb Smith with 4:43 left in the period. That score, by the way, ended the Indians’ scoring for the game.

Due to the many errors by both teams, the total yardage for the night was on the slim side. Simla’s Damian Bell rushed 22 times for 112 yards, but the next best night on the ground by the Cubs was 19 yards by Norris.

“We started slow, but we were able to come out on top,” Bell said. “I did what I could, but certainly wanted to do better.

There were mistakes, but we were able to overcome them. I’m confident about the playoffs and proud of what we have been able to accomplish at this time. Kiowa was certainly a tough opponent for us tonight.”

The third quarter was one of dropped balls. Five fumbles ended each of those first five drives to begin the third. And, it’s interesting to note that none of these five Simla continues on Page 11

A 38-yArd touchdown by Chase Nicholas, who rushed

for 198 yards, was the first score of the night for Elizabeth and came with 3:58 left in the first quarter. Brody Oliver would score with 1:37 left in the second quarter to give the Cardinals a 13-0 lead at the half.

Gymnasts Continued from Page 1

“Coach Folmar and her staff have done just an incredible job building our program and working with the girls. Right from the very first season, gymnastics has been a fantastic sport for us,” said Elizabeth High Athletic Director Chris Cline, who has already had to make room in the school’s trophy case this fall for state championship hardware won by the EHS boys’ golf and cross country teams.

When gymnastics was added to the school’s slate of sports in 2006, Cline said he didn’t know what to expect: “Twelve kids came out for the team that first season and Coach Folmar has continued to build the program ever since.

Now we get 18 or 20 girls each year taking part in the sport and Elizabeth High has become a real gymnastics’ powerhouse.”

“These girls grow up doing gymnastics together and become a team long before they hit high school,” said Folmar. “I’ve worked with most of the kids on this year’s team since they were seven or eight years old. They are a very committed and driven group of athletes who hold each other to high standards but are also best friends.”

Folmar said five athletes — three seniors and two juniors — make up the nucleus of this year’s team.

• Alissa Poland, a senior and the squad’s top all-around gymnast, was just named first team

All-Conference in floor exercise.

“She’s been our most consistent gymnast by far this year,” said Folmar. “Meet after meet, Alissa just keeps on hitting.”

• Hailey Breikss, a senior and all-around gymnast, was injured earlier in the season. “She’s slowly been able to work her way back into top shape,” said Folmar.

Breikss was just named second team All-Conference in vault and bars.

• Emily Reynolds, a senior, leads the team on balance beam and was just named second team All-Conference in the all-around event.

• Jessie Gerczynski, a junior allarounder, was named to the second team All-Conference squad.

• Hayden Stout, a junior, was just named to the second team All-Conference squad on bars.

“The wonderful thing about this year’s team is that these girls are all great students and role models, too,” said Folmar.

Many of the Cardinals’ gymnasts work with younger athletes at Folmar’s Chalk Box gym. “All of our home meets are packed because the kids and their families come out to support the team,” Folmar said.

“If this year’s team wins another state championship,” Folmar said, “that would mean we’ve won state 50 percent of the time we’ve had a team.”

Not many other coaches can brag about those kinds of results.

The secret to Elizabeth’s success, Folmar said, is simple: hard work and unselfish attitudes.

“The girls have a motto,” she added. “A successful team beats with one heart.”

Simla Continued from Page 10

drives went for more than four plays.

“It just seemed that neither of us could hold on to the ball,” said Simla tight end Jason George. “The colder it became as the night went on, the more it bothered us. That third quarter with all the fumbles was certainly different from the rest of our games this season.

“We got off to a slow start, but so did they,” continued George. “The second half we were able to get into motion and our defense was able to hold them when it count-

ed. It seemed to get a lot colder as the night went on and I think it affected the field, too.

But it turned out to be a great win and that’s what really counts.”

Norris helped up the Simla lead to 22-8 with 7:27 left in the third quarter when he returned that fifth fumble 21 yards for a touchdown.

The Cubs would close out the scoring in the game with Galavz scoring on a threeyard run with 5:34 left in the game. That five-play drive also came about via a Simla fumble recovery.

“The key ended up being our tough defense and hats off to our D,” said Aaron Thieman. “But some hats off to their defense, too. Our quarterback (Norris) went down, but was still able to play. And, he

caught his touchdown pass from me. We wanted to stay motivated despite our slow start. I think we have a special team and we were able to come through.”

Simla’s Zimmerman could be seen shaking his head in disbelief on several occasions.

“Unbeaten is good, but we won ugly tonight,” Zimmerman said. “The boys were hungry for the win. But the fumbles from both teams? What a night. The field seemed to get slicker as the game progressed and that had a lot to do with both our efforts.

“We had the defense when we needed it,” Zimmerman said. “Last year we were 5-1 at one point, then lost our last three games of the season. This is a good solid group of kids. We are 7-0 and were not able

to play our game against West Grand due to the weather situations. Now, we have to see what the playoff situation will be.”

It was also a night that had Clemmons and his team shaking their heads.

“There were just to many mistakes and turnovers and you can’t win with those type of errors,” Clemmons said. “The kids played hard, but Simla just played better when they needed to. Caleb Smith hurt his ankle in the third quarter and we really don’t have a lot of depth. I don’t want to take anything away from Simla, as they are a good team and overcame their mistakes.”

Kiowa’s effort on the ground was led by Jack Thomas with 57 yards on 12 carries while Lonny Thrhal added 54 yards on 20 carries.

the facility “a very simple design.”

“Being on 10 acres, there’s plenty of room for expansion,” Steck added. “But the true savings come from the fact that both agencies aren’t duplicating the same facility just a few miles apart from each other.”

Barring any unforeseen delays, Steck said he expects the new facility should be operational in early 2014, protecting local residents and saving both fire districts — and area homeowners — a lot of money.

Operating a joint facility, staffed initially with volunteer firefighters, will allow both fire districts to save, Steck said. “We won’t have to duplicate the purchase of new fire trucks, new ambulances, and other equipment,” he added, describing the joint effort as “being creative with funding” during tough economic times for Elbert County.

“We’re very proud of the cooperation between the two agencies that made this happen,” Steck added. “The new station will help lower insurance rates for people who live in the area. But most importantly, it will lower response times for calls, making sure we get the emergency responders there sooner.”

The Elizabeth Fire Protection District covers 111 square miles surrounding Elizabeth.

The Rattlesnake Fire Protection District covers 66 square miles in the less densely populated northwest corner of the county.

With the increasing growth in northwest Elbert County in recent years, many area homeowners there have complained that they have been forced to pay exorbitantly high homeowners insurance rates because their homes were more than five miles from the nearest fire station.

Steck encouraged people living near the new station to check with their insurance companies, estimating that many could see as much as a 40 to 50 percent decrease in their homeowners insurance. “When the new facility is open in 2014,” Steck said, “folks living within a five-mile radius will be eligible for substantially lower insurance rates.”

Steck said current plans call for the new facility to be developed in three phases: • Phase One includes opening the new station using the prefabricated steel structure and an all-volunteer staff or firefighters; • Phase Two calls for the construction of a larger station equipped with training rooms and a larger, fulltime staff of paid firefighters; • Phase Three would allow the station to expand further and operate as a training facility, allowing firefighters to take part in “live burn” exercises.

Steck said the two agencies had yet to work out a timetable or estimated budget for developing the second and third phases.

“With 10 acres, we’ve got plenty of room to expand,” he said. “As that area continues to grow, so will the new station.”

There was no school at Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch on Oct. 11, but the halls were full with about 1,100 students from around the state attending the Colorado High School Press Association conference.

Young journalists gather Jack Kennedy, executive director of the Colorado High School Press Association, wasn’t able to use the usual Colorado State University facility for the annual high school conference this year, but he found an opportunity: Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch. So on Oct. 11, about 1,100 students from 50 schools statewide showed up. Kennedy said the event usually draws around 1,500, but he said one reason for the lower number was the recent floods. He said schools in areas such as Loveland and Estes Park had “other things to worry about.”

Survey shows rare bird down by half Associated Press

Last year was apparently rough for lesser prairie chickens, a rare grouse that has been a candidate for federal protection for years and is now proposed for inclusion under the Endangered Species Act. In 2012, there were an estimated 34,000 lesser prairie chickens across their grassland range, which includes portions of Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Colorado.

Kansas is home to about half the country’s lesser prairie chicken population.

This year’s survey, which was conducted from March

through May for the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, showed the bird’s population has declined by about half, down to roughly 17,600 total in the five states.

The decline was largely attributed to drought, which also decimated the bird’s population in the 1990s when it was first proposed for federal protection, said Jim Pitman, small game coordinator the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism.

“The important thing is the grassland is still there,” Pitman said. Once the grasslands regenerate from wet weather, the bird popu-

lation will increase, he said.

The lesser prairie chicken has been the subject of several attempts by conservation groups who say the bird is headed for extinction unless it gains protected status under the Endangered Species Act. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service earlier this year proposed listing the lesser prairie chicken as threatened under the ESA largely because of huge declines in the bird’s population and the loss of vast swaths of its natural grassland habitat.

The Fish and Wildlife Service is expected to have a decision by March 2014.

Several landowners,

state wildlife agencies and oil, gas and wind energy companies have opposed the federal listing for the bird because they say federal recognition could lead to more regulations and impede their development.

An alternative conservation plan to federal listing has been developed

by WAFWA and in part involves getting landowners to help conserve the birds.

That approach, however, is “too little, too late” and won’t be fast enough to stop the bird from becoming extinct, said Jay Lininger, with the Center for Biological Diversity in Tucson, Ariz.

Memories, expectations collide ‘From Door to Door’ title is related to Hebrew prayer book

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcolorado news.com As the play opens, a depressed Mary (Pamela Vanderpoel) is visited by her daughter Deborah (Lisa Rosenhagen), who delivers a canvas and easel in an attempt to bring Mary out of her funk. She might recover a latent talent for art.

The play’s title, “From Door to Door” is related to a phrase in a Hebrew prayer book: “l’dor v dor,” from generation to generation, and focuses on Mary’s memories of her interactions with her mother, Bessie, and daughter, Debbie.

In the background, grandma Bessie’s ghost hovers (Kathryn Gray) and when Mary tells her about the painting, she repeats an earlier reaction: “There are no girl artists,” a position that kept Mary from attending art school/college,

although she was an excellent — and is a story that applies to student. “Dreams do not pay generations of women everythe rent or buy the food … The where.

He added that

he had been in Seoul, South Korea, and a woman there said Bessie was just like her grandmother.

The three actresses, Kathryn Gray, Pamela Vanderpool and Lisa Rosenhagen, talked about preparing for this play.

Only Rosenhagen is Jewish and she did not do a traditional Bat Mitzvah, she said.

She did share memories and family customs with her fellow cast members and they had a Yiddish coach. (Rosenhagen’s daughter is going to Hebrew School and embracing her Jewish heritage.)

Gray, who is an expert in dialects, had the older woman’s speech, mannerisms and rhythms perfected. The script was well-researched and written throughout. Note that scenes do not always occur in a linear manner, so the audience has to shift gears at times.

“From Door to Door” is an insightful look at family life, well directed and acted.

One needs to note the Mizel Arts and Culture Center’s schedule when planning a ticket buy.

it’s all about the sports in this comedy Avenue Theater puts fun production on stage

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “ASTN Sports Network,” it says on the backdrop, and underneath there are pennants and a trio of desks on the small Avenue Theater stage. It’s time for a performance of “Complete World of Sports (Abridged)” written by the group who first produced “Compleat Works of Shakespeare (Abridged)” some years ago, where the works of the Bard are dispatched in two hilarious hours.

Enter Damon Guerrasio, Eric Mather and Steven J. Burge to assure you that they will talk about every sport ever played in less than two hours. (And some you may not have heard about.)

There will be nine categories, played on seven continents — from then until now …

And they’re off in a cloud of dust for an

evening of well-timed physical comedy and clever spins on network sportscasters and athletes.

They alternate between announcing and playing sports themselves, changing costumes — and the subject — at lightning speed.

When announcing, they have the rhythm and manner of the guys you hear broadcasting Sunday games. When they’re demonstrating how to play, it’s silly and great fun.

“Stick and ball sports” are discussed; golf, ice hockey, tennis. And baseball — so boring it puts Mather to sleep, although he’s assured “there’s a lot going on you can’t see.”

Our trio, directed by the skilled Bob Wells, makes a quick visit to Ancient Greece and the Simpsons and to the Roman Empire (archery, curling,) In A.D. 1604, Elizabethans were bearbaiting and Ophelia failed her swimming test.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You’re in a period of fluctuating moods, which is not unusual for the Moon Child. Your emotions stabilize by the 25th.

Meanwhile, try to hold off making major decisions until then.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) That keen sense of perception helps you hunt down those minute details that others overlook. And, of course, your Leonine ego will accept the expected praise with good grace.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Be careful not to be confrontational when raising a work-related issue.

Better to make a request than a demand. And, of course, be prepared to back up your case with facts.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Your ego might be hurt when a colleague turns down your offer to help. But accept it as a rejection of your offer, not of you. A friend from the past could re-emerge by week’s end.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A flow of positive energy turns a work project you didn’t want to do into something you actually love doing. Now, take that attitude into your social, intimate life -- and enjoy what follows.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Working hard to meet your professional goals is fine. But don’t neglect your private life, especially where it concerns your more cherished relationships.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) “Patience” remains the key word in dealing with an emotionally sensitive situation involving a close friend or family member. Help comes your way by week’s end.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) With new information coming in, it’s a good time to rethink some of your goals without taking suggestions from others, no matter how well-meaning they might be.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Making progress on your project is relatively easy in the early part of the week. A problem could arise midweek. But all goes swimmingly once it’s resolved.

BORN THIS WEEK: Holding fast to your principles, no matter what, inspires others to follow your example. (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.
