More medical facilities, less wait time Increase in urgent care centers reflects a nationwide trend in field of medicine
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com At a central intersection in Highlands Ranch — where South University Boulevard and Highlands Ranch Parkway meet — sits a UCHealth Emergency Room. Less than half a mile north is a Concentra Urgent Care. Three miles to the west, near
Town Center, is an OnPoint Urgent Care. And 3 1/2 miles east, in Lone Tree, is another OnPoint Urgent Care. Meagan Watson — whose 7-yearold son has had seven sets of staples or stitches in four years — likes the low cost and minimal wait time of an urgent care center. But she wonders why there are so many. “Maybe they figure there are a lot of little kids in the area — which is what I use it for,” she said.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? With so many medical care options in one region, health field experts say it’s important to know the difference in services and costs. According to Steve Sellars, president of the board of directors of the Urgent Care Association of America: • Urgent care centers are an option for non-lifethreatening symptoms, such as sprains, broken bones, flu, colds and other common illnesses. • Hospital-based emergency rooms treat life-
threating injuries or illnesses. • Primary care physicians perform routine checkups and provide ongoing care for patients. They are the best choice for ongoing medical concerns, such as a chronic illness and preventive care. According to UCHealth experts: A stand-alone emergency room is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and offers similar services as a hospital-based emergency room.

WATER THEY UP TO?
School board officially has a vacancy Two days earlier, the board was deadlocked on the issue of Benevento’s resignation By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com

About 500 dogs in the community enjoyed their very own pool day at the seventh annual Doggie Splash at Westridge Recreation Center, 9650 Foothills Canyon Blvd. On Sept. 10, the outdoor pool was filled with four-legged friends, toys and tennis balls. The Doggie Splash marked the outdoor pool’s final hurrah of the summer season. It is now closed for winter. The family-friendly afternoon also included a Pet Expo with pet adoptions, supplies and services.
The Highlands Ranch Community Association hosted a day for the dogs at Westridge Recreation Center. The annual Doggie Splash and Pet Expo event marks the outdoor pool’s last day of the summer season.
After a second special meeting of the Douglas County Board of Education in three days, Doug Benevento’s resignation was accepted by a 6-1 vote Sept. 8. David Ray cast the dissenting vote. At a Sept. 6 meeting on the same topic, the board did not accept his resignation following a deadlocked 3-3 vote. “I voted ‘no’ to convey the message that I am still concerned that we are condoning a political tactic Benevento that gives an unfair advantage to a future candidate,” Ray said. “Had there been an acknowledgment from the board president that it is inappropriate to resign from an elected position with this intent, I would have voted in favor of the resolution.” Board continues on Page 19

NEWS IN A HURRY Map and compass treasure hunt The Highlands Ranch Metro District is hosting a scavenger hunt to teach the importance of using a map and compass when hiking outdoors. On Sept. 22 from 5-7 p.m., kids ages 8-12 and an adult partner are invited to the open space to learn how to read a map, orient themselves and find various treasures using a map and compass. Participants will get to keep their treasures along with a Silva compass — a $12 value. Kids and their accompanying adults should meet at Dad Clark Park, 3385 Asterbrook Circle.

A glimpse of the people in our community
JULIE ABELS Master hula hooper, outdoors enthusiast, Coldwell Banker broker associate About me Like so many of us, I fell in love with Colorado on my first visit here in the late 1970s. I packed everything I owned in the trunk of my car and moved here a year later with a degree in marketing and communications from the University of Florida. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed watching the city and suburbs develop. I remember when County Line Road was known as the roller-coaster road, Highlands Ranch was really a ranch, and Parker was remote horse country. I joined the opening team of the Hyatt Regency Tech Center a few years later from 1987-2000 and then transitioned into business development. I have low tolerance for boredom, however, so once everything was up and running, I was ready for something new. I got into real estate when I realized that no two days — or two hours, really — would ever be the same and new challenges and opportunities are around every corner. My favorite things I love that during summertime we can attend free, outdoor concerts almost every night of the week. Our parks and outdoor lifestyle are unequaled. Sprout, my terrier mix, and I are at the dog park at Cherry Creek Reservoir as often as we can get there, and we truly have the most spectacular fall weather of any state I know. Since giving up downhill skiing to accommodate a 24/7 work schedule, I’m not a huge fan of winter, but my cross-country skis are in the closet ready to go. On a business note, I love that our real estate market ranks among the top in the country and new neighborhoods continue to be built. First-time buyers are finding more options in the south end of town and folks downsizing can find far more homes with mainfloor living than ever before.
Indoor Garage Sale The Highlands Ranch Community Association will host an indoor garage sale at Eastridge Recreation Center, 9568 S. University Blvd., on Oct. 1 from 8 a.m. to 2p.m. Residents can purchase a booth space to sell their used goods or attend the event to shop for discounted treasures. The HRCA has several vendors lined up with a broad selection of items. A booth costs $10 in advance; $20 day of show, if not sold out, for an 8x10-foot space on the gym floor. Booth spaces will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of the event. Visit hrcaonline.org to fill out a vendor application.

#TinyLab spends a week in Centennial Family’s tiny house exhibits highest performance standards in home improvement
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Corbett and Grace Lunsford live in a tiny house on wheels. The 210-square-foot humble abode is equipped with a minikitchen, dining area, master bed, nursery for their baby and a bathroom. From the outside, it resembles a blue rectangular box. Inside is a modern living space with high ceilings, copper appliances, sleek lighting and simple decor. But even more noteworthy is its mechanical system. Their tiny home is built to the highest performance standards in energy efficiency, indoor air quality, comfort and durability. It uses green materials and consumes only as much energy as it produces. The Lunsfords call it the #TinyLab and they are taking it to 20 cities across the country for their Proof Is Possible Tour. They stopped in Centennial, at Centennial Center Park on East Arapahoe Avenue, from Sept. 5-10. Other cities on the tour include San Diego, Dallas, Baltimore and Chicago. Their goal is to teach homeowners and contractors how to use scientific testing to prove that home improvement work meets the highest standards of safety, efficiency and reliabilty. “Efficiency, comfort, safety and savings are all byproducts of performance,” Grace said. The couple, in their late 20s, hasn’t always been in the home-improvement industry. Corbett started off as a professional piano player. In 2008, he decided to switch career paths and a year later, he started teaching a building performance workshop. He’s since hosted more than 100 YouTube videos and conducted 60 interviews for his podcast. He’s also written a book: “Home Performance Diagnostics: The Guide to Advanced Testing.”
Grace was an actress and still performs voiceovers. She’s also a film producer and the mastermind behind many of her husband’s YouTube videos. Each city on the Proof Is Possible Tour is sponsored by a local company that shares the same values as the Lunsfords. Centennial’s sponsor was SSP Innovations, a geographical information system and work-management software company that specializes in technologies for electric, gas, water, and fiber utilities. “We help customers make a plan and map for safety,” said Skye Perry, founder of SSP Innovations. While Perry deals with larger companies, the Lunsfords want to reach the average homeowner or consumer. “We want to teach people to treat their house like their body,” said Corbett, who calls himself a building forensics investigator and testing guru. In Centennial, about 75 percent of homes were built before 1990, which means they may soon need repairs. “Homeowners are pretty savvy here,” said Shirley Berg, building services director for the City of Centennial. “This takes it to another level of understanding. It’s looking at the science and getting specific.” The Lunsfords encourage homeowners to use a trained home-performance professional, otherwise known as an energy auditor, who can pinpoint where an improvement is needed based on numbers. They consider the homes a system, just like a car or a body. “The reality is that no one product fixes your home as a system,” Corbett said, “and any symptom you find might actually be an indication of a problem somewhere else in your home.” Along the Proof is Possible Tour, certain cities will be featured in the couple’s upcoming TV show, “Home Diagnosis.” The six-episode series will be featured on PBS next summer. The Lunsfords hope to revoluntionize the home-development industry. “Just ask for proof,” Corbett said, “and if a contractor can’t give it to you, move on to the next one.”
QUICK TIPS As part of their Proof is Possible Tour, Grace and Corbett Lunsford created a mini-magazine, titled “Proof is Possible: How to keep an eye on your new home construction or home improvement,” that outlines their mission. Below are some quick tips they include on home performance testing. Set measurable goals. The Lunsfords compare the expectations of a home to the expectations of a restaurant. When you go out to eat, you expect your food to taste good, to be served hot and to come exactly how you ordered it. Your house should feel good, have consistent air temperature and your equipment should perform how it says it will on the label. Based on performance tests, your contractor should guarantee these goals.

IN SIMPLER TERMS… On home-performance improvements If a car owner has an issue with his or her car, he or she may take it to get serviced by a mechanic, Grace and Corbett Lunsford say. Or if a person is sick, he or she may go to the doctor for a diagnosis and, if needed, a prescription. Similarly, if a homeowner has a problem with his or her home, he or she can contact a home-performance professional who will scientifically test for the problem and recommend an improvement. On the #TinyLab The #TinyLab, a 210-square-foot house on wheels that cost an estimated $125,000, is the Tesla of houses, the Lunsfords say. It’s built to the highest performance standards in energy efficiency, indoor air quality, comfort and durability. It uses green materials and has zero net energy consumption. And its owners control everything — from the way it looks to the way it sounds and smells.
The most important element is air quality. You want your family to breathe healthy air, which is why the Lunsfords recommend air sealing — a process that involves finding and sealing air leakage points throughout the house, such as an attic or a fireplace or a crawlspace. Fresh air ventilation should be planned into homes that are reasonably airtight, the Lunsfords say. Airtight homes also prevent leakage of heat and cool air. Flooring. Your house can hurt your family, the Lunsfords say.Some types of flooring, including laminate and plywood, use glue that contains formaldehyde, a colorless, flammable gas. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry says that at low levels, formaldehyde can cause eye, nose and throat irritation. At higher levels, exposure can cause skin rashes, shortness of breath, wheezing and changes in lung function. Home Depot sells formaldehyde-free plywood, which is what the Lunsfords have in their #TinyLab. Test, test, test. The Lunsfords say the only way to prove you have control of your home is through performance testing, which gives you a before-andafter comparison through checklists and energy usage metrics. Performance-based contracting is a business model that many contractors use, the Lunsfords say. All you need to know is what to ask for.

Urgent
A SHORTAGE OF PHYSICIANS
Continued from Page 1
A trend nationwide There are two urgent care centers — the OnPoint Urgent Care and Concentra Urgent Care — and a UCHealth Emergency Room in Highlands Ranch. Another one, Centura Urgent Care, is under construction along Highlands Ranch Parkway, near the South Broadway intersection. A hospital has been proposed for the Central Park development behind the Target shopping center along Lucent Boulevard, just across the street from the Children’s Hospital Colorado facility. Littleton Adventist Hospital is a few miles down Broadway in Littleton and Sky Ridge Medical Center is about seven miles away in Lone Tree, which also has its share of urgent care and freestanding emergency rooms. The boom in health care facilities across the south metro region — particularly in urgent care centers — reflects a national trend fueled by consumers’ desires for convenience and affordability, experts in the health field say. According to the Urgent Care Association of America, the rise in these facilities is driven by difficulty in finding primary care, physicians seeing and acting on medical needs in their communities, and rising popularity among patients. Urgent care centers — which are important to distinguish from freestanding ERs — offer longer hours of operation, shorter average wait times and lower outof-pocket costs, according to Steve Sellars, president of the board of directors of the Urgent Care Association of America. “Urgent care centers offer anyone — including those who might not have a regular primary care physician — a highquality, affordable and convenient choice for treating minor injuries and illnesses,” Sellars said in an email. Today, there are nearly 7,100 urgent care centers in the U.S. The Urgent Care Association of America says that urgent care centers tend to be positioned in high-visibility, consumer-accessible locations. According to a 2015 survey, 34.1 percent of urgent care center locations are in shopping centers or strip malls. Many tend to be built in more affluent communities that are highly populated, said Robert Wergin, M.D. and board chair of the American Academy of Family Physicians. That fits the profiles of several south metro communities, such as Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree and Parker. “The thing they promote is accessibility,” Wergin said. “If your doctor is not available, you can go in and be seen.” Accessibility and wait time Kari Solberg, of Parker, said she visits urgent care centers for symptoms that need treatment sooner than her doctor can see her. Though she rarely gets sick with more than a common cold, she’s a dog trainer and has sought an urgent care center for cuts and bites. It’s the faster option, she said. “My primary care physician’s availability is minimal,” she said. “If I call for an appointment, I’m generally a week or so out before I can get in.” Like Solberg, 66 percent of urgent care patients have a primary care physician, according to the Urgent Care Association of America. Sellars calls the facilities a “vital link” between the emergency room and the primary care physician. “Urgent care centers are essential in keeping up with the daily healthcare needs of patients,” he said. No appointment is necessary to see a medical provider at an urgent care center and 90 percent of these centers have a wait time of 30 minutes or less, the Urgent Care Association of America reports. An urgent care center is a good option for acute, episodic symptoms, such as a sore throat or an earache, said Wergin. But it shouldn’t replace a primary care doctor, who typically forms a relationship with his or her patients. “You see someone who knows you and knows your record,” said Wergin, who’s also a family physician in Nebraska. “If a patient hasn’t had a procedure, like a mammogram, there’s that continuity of care.” Wergin recalled an experience with one of his longstanding patients who visited an urgent care center for sinus
According to a 2015 study by the Association of American Medical Colleges, the demand for physicians already outpaces the supply, a trend projected to become even more severe by 2025. And “because physician training can take up to a decade,” the study said, “ a physician shortage in 2025 is a problem that needs to be addressed in 2015.”
OnPoint Urgent Care, on Ridgeline Boulevard north of Highlands Ranch Parkway, bustles with people at 9 a.m. on a Monday. The urgent care center is one of two in Highlands Ranch.

She was diagnosed with sinusitis and prescribed a prescription, but her symptoms worsened. She scheduled an appointment with Wergin, who could tell something was not right from her speech. Wergin ordered a CAT scan that revealed a brain tumor. The woman had surgery the following day. “I knew it when I came into the room because I knew the patient,” Wergin said. Urgent care centers do put a strain on family practice by disrupting the continuity of care of patients, he said, but they are built on a business model “that must work because of how many are going up.” Many residents and parents shared a positive experience they have had with an urgent care center, whether they were treated for a common cold or their child was seen for an X-ray or stitches. Some also spoke highly of the customer service. “They always answer the phone, they have X-ray available there, you can check in on your way,” Roxborough resident Terri Neff said of the OnPoint Urgent Care in Highlands Ranch. “I’ve only used them once, but their availability and accessibility will make me return for a nonemergency.” But the urgent care experience was different for one mom. Ali Woods Sarouhan, of Highlands Ranch, took her daughter — who was 19 years old at the time — to an urgent care center. It was the night before Thanksgiving and her primary care physician’s office was closed. Her daughter tested positive for strep throat but the medical provider advised against an antibiotic. “He told her that her body was old enough to fight it off,” Sarouhan said. “I had to tell him that I was paying and that I wanted her to have antibiotics.” If left untreated, strep can cause kidney inflammation or rheumatic fever — an inflammatory disease that can result in painful and inflamed joints, a rash or heart valve damage, according to Mayo Clinic, a nonprofit medical practice and medical research group based in Minnesota. Based on her experience with the urgent care center, she said she is less likely to go back. The cost conversation Urgent care centers generally cost about $800,000 to build, which includes startup costs and three months of operating expenses, according to the Urgent Care Association of America. Many urgent care centers use a physician-based model, which includes family practice and emergency physicians. Some are staffed with medical assistants, registered nurses, X-ray technicians, physician’s assistants and nurse practitioners. Many urgent care centers accept all patients, Sellars said, including those using private insurance and those leveraging Medicare and Medicaid. The cost of an urgent care center visit averages less than $150, according to the Urgent Care Association of America, compared to a hospital emergency room visit, which can range upward of $1,300. Most urgent care centers bill similarly to a primary care office and reimbursement varies depending on insurance coverage. The Urgent Care Association of America reports that 27 percent of all hospital ER visits could take place at an urgent care center or retail clinic, which are facilities located within a pharmacy or supermarket to treat minor illnesses, and could save approximately $4.4 billion annually.
Solberg noted the difference in cost. “The (urgent care center) pricing is far more reasonable than an ER as well,” she said. “I dare say, pretty cheap.” Another option But sometimes, patients confuse a freestanding emergency room and an urgent care center. The difference is often felt in the pocketbook: a freestanding emergency room offers similar services and charges similar prices as a hospitalbased emergency room. Dave Avner, facility medical director of the newly opened UCHealth Emergency Room in Highlands Ranch, likes to discuss options with his patients. “We do an initial assessment to see if it’s something easily treated or something that needs a more detailed pathology workup,” Avner said. “If it’s not an emergency, we help them with decision making.” That could be discussing insurance coverage or recommending a visit to an urgent care center. “Some people are very appreciative for the cost discussion,” Avner said. Avner worked at Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree for 14 years, where the wait time could be two to three hours. Stand-alone emergency rooms give patients more immediate access than a
The study also concluded the shortage would remain despite the greater use of advanced-practice nurses and alternate settings such as retail clinics, delayed retirement of physicians and other factors. Among the key findings of “The Complexities of Physician Supply and Demand: Projections from 2013 to 2025” were: • Total physician demand is projected to grow by up to 17 percent, based on growth and aging of population. • By 2025, demand for physicians will exceed supply by 46,000 to 90,000, depending on changes in the health care system that include the growth of non-physician clinicians and new payment and delivery models. • Total shortages by 2025 vary according to category. They include a shortfall of 12,500 to 31,100 primary care physicians and 28,200 to 63,7000 non-primary care physicians, which include medical, surgical and other specialists. larger hospital, he said. Despite the difference in focus and approach, health professionals say they are glad to have both urgent care and emergency standalone centers in the community. Daniel Peterson, director of medical operations of Concentra Colorado, which has an urgent care facility less than half a mile north of the UCHealth Emergency Room, said he is “glad to have them across the street for people who need the care.” Avner agreed. “The goal,” Avner said, “is to have more community access to health care.”

Wounded detective ‘a fighter,’ doctor says Doctors, family give update on Dan Brite’s condition By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Detective Dan Brite remains in the intensive care unit at Parker Adventist Hospital in “very critical condition,” according to Dr. Michael Bertocchi, trauma surgeon who led the medical team that treated Brite after he was shot Sept. 2. During a Sept. 9 news conference at Parker Adventist, Bertocchi said Brite is responding to stimuli, though his consciousness is “blunted.” He Brite said the brain shuts down somewhat whenever the body is critically injured to allow other organs to heal. “He’s responding to treatments but he has to overcome the great physiological deficits that occur in a massive hemorrhage, and at this time we are dealing with those issues,” Bertocchi said. While responding to a “sui-

Detective Brite remains in critical condition in the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit. cidal” suspect’s home near Sierra Middle School, Brite was shot by Randall Rodick, who was killed by a police officer moments later, authorities said. Brite is a member of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Impact Unit, a special squad that works with detectives from other local
agencies, often targeting narcotics and property crimes and performing undercover operations. Before joining DCSO in 2014, he worked for the Lone Tree Police Department for nine years. A bullet entered Brite’s chest at the left side just below the pectoral muscle, Bertocchi indicated. Bertocchi said he didn’t see a ballistic vest on Brite when he arrived. Dr. Chris Winter, trauma medical director, said the medical personnel initially treating Brite numbered in the “tens” at times, and the high-quality care they provided and continue to provide is giving him his best chance for recovery. Brite’s older brother, Steve Brite, took the podium after Bertocchi to thank area residents for their outpouring of support and financial contributions, as well as their prayers. Steve Brite also thanked God “for sending his angels” to protect officers on scene that day, and “to allow them to save the lives of the children in that school,” and other citizens.

Old latex paint? Don’t flip out! Dry it out! Have you been stockpiling cans of latex paint, waiting for the next Douglas County Household Chemical Roundup? Good news – latex paint is water-based and safe to throw away, if prepared properly. If the paint is completely dry, simply remove the lid and throw the can away. If there is still wet paint in the can, mix in some dirt or cat litter to fully absorb it. Once it is dry, throw it away. Save yourself a trip to the Roundup (and the $25 contribution) if you have water-based paint. Remember, this only applies to water-based latex paint, and NO paint can be dumped in the gutter or thrown in the trash wet.

Plans taking shape for future of canal Trail has challenges but is beloved by residents
MORE INFORMATION There will be three opportunities to attend the conservancy’s fourth open house series, titled Looking Ahead. The meetings will be held at Dry Dock Brewing Company North Dock in Aurora on Oct. 19 and Eisenhower Recreation Center in Denver and Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial on Oct. 20. For more information and addresses of the open houses, go to highlinecanal.org and look under “Planning” for “Community Meetings.”
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Over the decades, the High Line Canal has been transformed from a utilitarian agricultural irrigation canal into a recreational draw, and the High Line Canal Conservancy says that work needs to be done to preserve it in the future. One of the longest continuous urban trails in the country, the canal meanders 71 miles, from its start at Waterton Canyon to Green Valley Ranch, south of Denver International Airport, passing through the heart of the metro area along the way and connecting several parks. The trail, a repurposed maintenance road, is a popular route for cyclists, runners, dog walkers and horseback riders. “People use it as a natural place of beauty and refuge,” said Harriet LaMair, executive director of the conservancy, which was started as a nonprofit foundation in 2014 to lobby for improvements and maintenance for the trail. The trail is nearly unusable in some parts near its end, LaMair said, and in many places the canal goes under busy roads in a culvert while trail users must find ways to cross. The conservancy presented its draft vision of a plan for the canal’s future at three open house meetings on Sept. 7 and 8. The meetings were the third step in a process of developing a plan, which will culminate with a presentation of a final plan next month. In earlier meetings, trail users said they wanted more connectivity in the trail, as well as safety and wayfinding improvements and more access points. People also said that the diversity along the trail, as it cuts through canyons and foothills before moving into farmland and suburbs and urban areas, is important. Conservancy boardmember Jock Bickert said that the diversity of the trail is important to him.
Cyclists take a morning ride along the High Line Canal south of County Line Road. The canal’s future is being planned by the High Line Canal Conservancy. Photo by Kyle Harding “I got involved because I want to make sure we keep (the trail),” said Bickert, who was an avid cyclist before vision problems forced him to quit the hobby. Even with a vision for the canal’s future, the plan is ill-defined, as the canal, owned by Denver Water, cuts through four counties and several smaller jurisdictions as it weaves up and down valleys and draws, and owner Denver Water is not necessarily suited for the canal’s modern-day purpose as a recreational area rather than a water-delivery system. Funding for improvements could come from a range of sources, LaMair said, including governmental agencies and private nonprofits, and the ultimate price tag could reach into the hundreds of millions for a project that could take decades to complete. “It’s not not doable,” she said of funding. LaMair noted that safety can be an issue, as there are 81 street crossings along the trail, including three across Broadway within a quarter of a mile in Littleton, a stretch of the trail she refers to as the “triple threat.” Arapahoe County is currently studying how to improve trail crossings within its jurisdiction. LaMair said that residents of Littleton, Centennial and Highlands Ranch have been especially active in advocating for the trail’s future.

“The strongest level of engagement has been from the southern suburbs,” she said. Jay Duran and Joan Prince of Denver, who use the trail for cycling, jogging and cross-country skiing, said that connectivity is a big issue, particularly where the canal crosses Hampden Avenue north into Wellshire Golf Course and turns east across Colorado Boulevard into the University Hills neighborhood of Denver. LaMair said that there are plans in motion for an underpass for the trail so that users do not have to cross the busy thoroughfares. Denver, Arapahoe County and Cherry Hills Village have pledged matching
funds to a Colorado Department of Transportation grant for the $5.4 million project. Another issue many users of the trail have raised is the canal’s water, or lack thereof. The canal services only a small number of water users and only flows intermittently. But that lack of water keeps vegetation along the canal, including popular cottonwood trees, from receiving adequate water. “People want water in the canal,” LaMair said. But filling the canal out of the South Platte River doesn’t make sense, she said, as 60 to 80 percent of water will leak out of the canal or evaporate. So the conservancy is exploring ways to divert stormwater into the canal, which LaMair said could make the canal wet for 100 more days per year.

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Four high school students from STEM School and Academy were recognized for their endeavors in a subject that is typically not associated with the science, technology, engineering and math school: Music. The group mastered the album production process from start to finish. They used Ableton, an advanced music-making software, played several instruments and wrote and sang the song lyrics. Their final product was a CD titled “BAND Together,” featuring tunes about the complex life of a teenager. A few song titles include “Wrath of Storms,” “Mentors” and “Together We Rise.” In July, the group was selected as one of eight teams to receive a Think It Up Innovation Award from
S
the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) and $5,000 in DonorsChoose.org funding credits. EIF, a charitable organization based in Hollywood, launched thinkitup.org in 2015 to fund student-powered, teacher-led learning in partnership with DonorsChoose. org, a teacher crowd funding charity. To date, Think It Up has funded more than 2,700 classroom-learning projects throughout the country, according to a media release. “We are trying to empower students to participate in their education so they are not just showing up to listen to someone,” said Ed Rada, chief operating officer of EIF. Rada said STEM’s “BAND Together” project showed a number of Think It Up’s values, including working in harmony with a teacher, pursuing passions and addressing real-world problems. “Their project challenged them to use higher-order thinking,” Rada said. Aiden Beatty, a 10th-grader at STEM, plays the guitar and helped with the “BAND Together” produc-
tion. “I enjoyed it because we actually got to create stuff and play together,” he said. Omer Eldar, a senior at STEM and one of the four students on the “BAND Together” team, said he hopes the album will inspire other students to pursue music. “We made our product to show other students that they can do this,” he said. Eldar got involved in music as a high school student at STEM. He now writes songs on his own, plays several instruments and uses Ableton. Think It Up’s 2016 submission topics ranged from bullying prevention to podcast production to bee- S keeping. All fostered “curiosity and learning, academic rigor, leadership, character and student-teacher O collaboration,” a media release says. b Rada noted how “BAND Togeth- c er” stood out as the product of an s art program within a STEM school. a c “We certainly appreciate that R they are applying what they are a learning to music,” Rada said.

Woman reports assault during morning walk Sheriff’s office encourages residents to walk with a partner
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com A 52-year-old woman reported she was assaulted the morning of Aug. 28 while on a walk along Canyon Brook Drive, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. The Highlands Ranch resident called dispatch at approximately 7:25 a.m. after a suspected male approached her from behind, fondled her over her clothes and ran away when she started to yell,
the police report said. The woman and her husband have lived in the Hearth — a neighborhood south of Southridge Recreation Center and McArthur Ranch Road that borders the BackCountry — for about 1 1/2 years. “My wife no longer feels safe to go walking in the neighborhood by herself,” said her husband, who did not want his name or his wife’s name used to protect their privacy. “It has definitely colored her view of the area.” The sheriff’s office assigned a detective to the case. The suspect was not identified and the case is now closed, according to the police
report. Lauren Lekander, spokesperson for the sheriff’s office, said she is not aware of an increase in similar incidents. “It does happen,” she said, “but it’s not something that is common.” Lekander encourages residents to always walk with a partner or a dog, which she calls the biggest deterrents. She also advises residents walking or running outdoors to be aware of their surroundings and to carry a cellphone. “You want to have a phone on you so you can call 911 if it’s an emergency or a relative if you need to be picked up,” Lekander said.

Vehicle break-ins becoming more frequent in county Staff report The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is reporting a rise in vehicle break-ins within the county. According to a news release from the sheriff’s office, Highlands Ranch and Parker have seen the largest increase of these incidents, although Roxborough and Castle Rock have also been targeted. Reports of these crimes began
to pick up in late July and early August. Break-ins occurred most frequently in the late afternoon, overnight or early morning. They commonly took place in parking lots near parks and trailheads. Stolen items generally included small or easy-to-carry objects. Purses, wallets and electronics left in plain sight within the vehicle led to some of these incidents. In other cases, garage door openers were
also taken. The sheriff’s office cautions people to change their garage door codes immediately if the remote has been stolen. Do not leave items or valuables in plain view inside the vehicle. Do not leave the vehicle unlocked or windows left open. Park in well-lit areas and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.

We are better than that ... aren’t we? Here’s the scenario: You have been invited to a function or party where you know that there will be a few people in attendance who will be cynical, judgmental, opinionated and who will speak condescendingly to everyone they feel is not quite an equal. It is so obvious we almost choose not to attend the party just so we don’t have to be subjected to the torment. But we are better than that. We know there will be more people attending that we do care to see and be with, and we predetermine in our mind that if we become the target of glares and stares or a sarcastic or condescending remark that we have prepared our gracious and powerful response as we take the high road. We do this because we are better than that. Or maybe we are waiting patiently in a line or traffic and we see someone trying to get ahead of us, they are weaving into our lane or trying to cut the line. We watch as others get aggravated and we observe the wrong and rude behavior of the line-cutting perpetrator, but instead of jumping on the road rage bandwagon or shoulder block the person trying to get ahead of us, we slow down and again offer grace as we allow them to get ahead of us. We do this because maybe they have a real reason or emergency to attend to, but more importantly do you
know why we do this? Because we are better than that. Taking the high road is never to be mistaken as being a doormat. I am not advocating weakness — far from it, I am advocating strength. It’s easy for the weak and unconfident to take out Michael Norton their frustrations and insecurities on another WINNING person or attempt to WORDS take advantage of a situation or control or manipulate someone. It takes strength, confidence and grace to take the high road, see through the veil of the phony and fake, and to provide hope and encouragement through the strength of our words and actions. And why do we do this? That’s right, because we are better than that. And the sooner we can help embrace this concept, share this message with our friends and children, the sooner we can maybe make a difference in the world. Maybe that difference is in our own family, our circle of friends, the social circles we travel in, our workplace, our houses of worship, and most
importantly we need to get this message of “being better than that” into the hearts and minds of our children and grandchildren, and maybe, just maybe we can stem the tide of bullying at every level. So are you the person people worry about being in attendance at a wedding or party? Are you the person who maybe considers yourself above the others who will be there and who sits in judgment of others? Were you a bully when you were younger and continue to bully others in your adult life? Is your child one of the bullies at school? Tough questions, I know, but I ask you these questions because if you answered yes, or even feel like you could have answered yes, I have great news for you: You are better than that too. What’s your story? Or what is your opinion? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And as we provide grace to one another and take the high road, and as we all realize that we are indeed better than that, or we are at least capable of being better than that, this will be a better-thangood week and the start to a better-thangood life. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corp., a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Teachers must be kept involved Doug Benevento’s remarks following his belated resignation from the Douglas County School Board brought a rare opportunity for me to agree with his position: change is hard for some people. Unfortunately, the remark itself is the extent of our agreement. Based on his comments and actions as a board member, his implication is surely that those resisting change were obstructionists, unwilling to change. My experience with high school staffs in Summit County and at the University of Denver suggests teachers are just the opposite. Although they found that change was difficult, staffs in both locations took significant measures to deliver education differently. Summit County staff implemented a mastery learning program. Both groups raised the lowest passing grade for students to 73 percent and 80 percent, respectively. Block schedules of 90 minutes at Summit County High School and 135 minutes at the University of Denver High School were approved in order to provide better educational opportunities for students. At D.U., the staff implemented a curriculum based on a problem-based learning approach. The staffs were willing to take such significant actions because they were directly involved in the adoption and implementation of the programs and decisions. Benevento and his original colleagues, deeming themselves educational experts, failed to involve teaching staff in any significant way — thus, resistance at every step. Hopefully, a change in the board’s attitude will continue to evolve, either with the current four-member majority accepting the will of the community as indicated in the last election or by a better-informed, more astute majority being elected at the next opportunity. The impending community survey, especially the nature of the questions asked and the use of the results, will give us a better idea of the current board majority’s intent.

Things may appear gray when they’re much more The Grim Reaper is all around us and dancing to a merry tune. Famines and floods disrupt our happy picnics. Radicals and terrorists make our lives miserable. The makers of EpiPens are up to no good. Craig Marshall Smith But over there at the paint factory, QUIET threw a dart DESPERATION someone at the color wheel and it landed on “Poised Taupe.” “Poised Taupe” is the 2017 Color of the Year. It’s gray, but “gray” has no poetry or pretension in it, so Sherwin-Williams came up with “Poised Taupe.” In 2012, the Color of the Year was green, but Sherwin-Williams called it “Argyle.” In 2013, it was light green, but they called it “Aloe.”
In 2014, “Exclusive Plum.” In 2015, “Coral Reef.” In 2016, “Alabaster.” Poised Taupe is “what happens when cool gray gets together with brown and has a baby.” Or it’s what happens when I clean my brushes in turpentine. The liquid is kind of a light warm gray. In other words, it’s Poised Taupe. Some people need to be told what color to paint the pantry. Not me. My home is white, with tasteful accents of white, right next to white and more white. I don’t want anything to clash with the dachshund. One woman, Jackie Jordan, made the Color of the Year selections for Sherwin-Williams for decades. She retired. I wonder if it is a 9 to 5 job? Would you be influenced in the spring by blues and greens, or in the fall by oranges and yellows? Or could you reach a higher level of sagacity and say “Aloe” to your boss on the due date?

Demographics provide prediction of future Everyone needs a financial plan at some point in their lives. It is no secret that the earlier you start, the more likely you will be to reach your goals while requiring less money. This is because time and compounding are on your side. However, it is always interesting how people are more engaged in the process the older they get. Running out of time is scary and running out of money is worse. Therefore, many investment strategies are being created to assist retirees with income. However, taking advantage of the growth market fueled by the over-50 crowd may provide more assets for longer. It is important for all generations to realize that the bulk of goods and services available are aimed at the age group with the most disposable income and the largest demographic pool. You can look back at the impact of the baby boomer generation - 76 million strong - as they progressed in age. Products boomed from Gerber baby food to new elementary schools and then hordes of teens hanging out at fast food joints (some with really cool cars) as this massive generation grew up. Then as adults the demands were for suburbia housing, mini vans and super-
markets. Now they are retiring and the statistics are worth noting, as it will impact what is available for any age group until Gen X (55 million) and the millennials (66 million) amass enough wealth to impact Patricia Kummer product offerFINANCIAL ings. The boomer STRATEGIES generation is starting to shrink due to deaths and fewer immigrants over age 55. Therefore it is predicted that the millennials will exceed the boomers by 2030. However Gen X may always be the smaller stepchild and may not impact economic growth as much as the two larger siblings.¹ Currently, the fastest-growing segment of the population consists of people over age 100². In 2016, 115 million Americans are over age 50 and 40 million are over age 65. Yet only 7 percent of boomers and 22
percent of seniors have a financial plan. That may be why these next statistics are a bit dire: • Thirty-three percent are still working but had expected to be retired by now. • Fifty-five percent are unsure how much they will need or if they can retire.³ The largest age group of investors is age 50-64. And this age group is embarking on a future like no other generation before them. They expect to live longer, healthier, more active lives than their parents, and they will likely spend more on wants versus needs such as travel and sports. And perhaps they are investing in things they will benefit from when they are older. Such as things that improve eyesight, hearing, mobility and memory loss as well as ranch style or retirement community housing. The growth segment will be anything related to goods and services to satisfy the insatiable appetite of the instant-gratification crowd. The older end of the boomer spectrum consists of people looking for services to assist those who are unable to provide for themselves. That might include taking care of the yard and house, shuttle services, meal planning and online bank-
ing and shopping for the homebound. Medical centers are popping up all over town along with drive-through pharmacies, and group travel experiences are on the rise. These demographic trends tell a story that will impact our economy in the future. It may be beneficial to be prepared for these changes. One change coming up is open enrollment for Medicare and health insurance. There is a free workshop on Medicare planning set for Sept. 21 at 6:30 p.m. at the Highlands Ranch Library, 9292 S.

Time to bring higher standards to amendment process When Coloradans vote this year, they will help determine the economic future of the state through a number of initiatives on the ballot. In short, this is a ballot as varied and potentially impactful as any we’ve ever faced. While the specific issues may be unique to 2016, the process of putting transformative policies of all stripes to a vote of the entire electorate, thereby locking them intractably into the state constitution, is not. Colorado is among a handful of states with an absurdly easy process for altering its state constitution. That’s why the South Metro Denver Chamber has endorsed Amendment 71, coined “Raise the Bar” by the measure’s backers, and why we encourage Colorado voters to pass it. Our constitution deserves to be safeguarded. With more than 150 amendments already housed inside our constitution, Colorado has become a playground for activists from all across the country to parachute in and advance their agenda through the petition process. The reason is the relative ease of gaining access to our ballot, and the result is a document with nearly six times more amendments than the U.S. Constitution, many of which stand in opposition to each other. We fully support a citizenry’s right to alter its foundational document, but we also believe in order to do so, a higher hurdle than one for mere statutory change should be required. That’s what makes Amendment 71 worthy of passage. So what does Amendment 71 do? Cur-

Jordan’s successor, Sue Wadden, was asked about her choice for 2017. “Were you nervous?” “I was a little nervous,” Wadden said. “But when it came down to doing the work, the choice was simple. All signs pointed so strongly in this direction that choosing wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be.” It’s hard for me to take this seriously. Colors are very important to me, but designating just one, and giving it a silly name, is something that has never occurred to me. Mark Woodman, immediate past president of the Color Marketing Group, said — and I promise that I am not making this up — “It’s a very good evolution of gray. We needed a stable gray to get us centered after the financial crisis in 2008.” The Color Marketing Group comes up with the colors that “you’ll want to wear, drive and decorate with two years from now.”
rently, supporters of a constitutional amendment must obtain signatures totaling 5 percent of votes cast in the most recent election for Secretary of State. This requirement would not change. What would change is a provision that Robert Golden demands 2% be GUEST gathered from each of Colorado’s state COLUMN Senate districts. This matters because it’s possible (and even likely) that activists can gather signatures from densely populated communities along the Front Range. Amendment 71 ensures that citizens from all over the state have a voice in determining what gets included for consideration in the constitution, ensuring if something does make the ballot, all sectors of Colorado are represented. The other main change included in Amendment 71 is the higher threshold for passage. Instead of a mere majority, Amendment 71 requires a 55% passage rate from voters for approval. This ensures only bedrock principles supported by a larger cross-section of our state’s voters alter our most important document. It’s important to note that in our support, the South Metro Denver Chamber does not advocate for diminishing or
I’m sure there are some well-paid color consultants at CMG, but I think a chicken at the Iowa State Fair could do the same thing for next to nothing. I paint with a variety of brands. One of them, Gamblin, collects the pigments from their air filtration system every spring and recycles them into what they call “Torrit Grey.” Then it goes into tubes and it is distributed to art supplies stores all across the country, who give it away with every Gamblin purchase. You know what it looks like? It looks exactly like what happens when cool gray gets together with brown and has a baby. I am mocking the whole thing, but I want the job. I would pace back and forth, and lose sleep over my selections. And then. I would turn in my list: Poised Toupee, Algae, Ointment, Coral Beef and Abraham Lincoln’s Beard.

outright eliminating anyone’s right to propose change in how we’re governed. Far from it. Issues of public concern, particularly those brought forth in the citizen initiative process, deserve full and vigorous public vetting and debate. Amendment 71 does not affect the process for proposing statutory change, an important distinction in the way it’s written. We support Amendment 71 because we represent hundreds of businesses, and, by extension, thousands of employees. Businesses seek certainty to operate prosperously. And when it’s possible – even easy – to change our most founda-
tional document, you eliminate much of that certainty, which affects a business’s ability to successfully plan long term. It seems only prudent to request that those who wish to foundationally affect all of Colorado obtain signatures from every corner of the state and earn approval from a greater majority of voters. Let’s Raise the Bar, Colorado. For the good of Colorado’s businesses, citizens and our state constitution. Robert Golden is the president/CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce.

LIFE Cold-blooded critters make good pets, too LOCAL
Turtles are popular starter reptiles, and there are many varieties in size and habitat. Cage sizes and heating requirements vary, and people considering purchasing them should be aware of these requirements. Courtesy photo
But you have to understand what amphibians and reptiles need By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com
WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE BUYING AN EXOTIC PET
T
hey may look completely different, but a bearded dragon lizard reminds Dillon Lanigan of a dog. “It’s a pretty amazing bond people form with their reptiles and amphibians,” said Lanigan, manager of the Northglenn Scales ‘N Tails. “Reptiles imprint on you — if you get them young enough — and the affection that can exist is almost doglike.” Although it might surprise those with no experience, people who love exotic pets — like frogs, lizards, snakes and turtles — know these animals can make some of the most engaging pets for people of all ages. “We have several customers who are past 70 years old and have had snakes for years,” Lanigan said. “We have all ages, and all walks of life, who come through our shop.” Because pet shops that specialize in exotic animals aren’t as common as ones who cater to traditional furry friends, stores like Scales ‘N Tails, which also has locations in Lakewood and Englewood, Arvada’s Feeder Frenzy and Parker Exotic Pets become hubs for a culture. On any given Saturday, novices walk into Feeder Frenzy with questions about their first pet as experienced reptile owners pick up their weekly food supply. And then there’s the regular customers who stop by to visit. Perhaps they want to talk about how their pet is doing, see the new arrivals or hear what co-owners Jack Nelson and Dave Meidinger are working on. “We take an old-school approach to our shop, almost like a barbershop,” Meidinger said. “We want to ensure people are comfortable here and not afraid to ask questions.” There are plenty of misconceptions about amphibians and reptiles, and education is one of these shops’ best services to their customers, the owners said. Lanigan, Meidinger and Nelson all have extensive experience and gladly share their expertise. “Between the two of us, we’ve dealt with all kinds of species,” Nel-
Cost: Glass tanks and enclosures can be expensive, and many of these animals require lighting and heating that will add to electricity bills. Feeding and veterinary costs must also be considered. Size: Get a clear sense of how big the animal will grow. Larger animals require more space and higher feeding costs. Care: Everyone in the household should be on board with taking care of the animal. If one party loses interest, others must step up to ensure the animal is healthy and happy.
A black and white Argentine tegu takes a whiff with its tongue at Parker Exotic Pets in Parker on Sept. 8. The store’s owner, Jennifer Nystrom, says reptile owners often own dogs or cats as well and just want to add “something a little different” to their lives. Photo by Tom Skelley son said, referring to Meidinger. “We also work very closely with Homeward Bound Veterinary hospital, so if people have sick animals, they can help.” Before any animal is brought into Parker Exotic Pets, owner Jennifer Nystrom and manager Hanna Stroh do a lot of research to make sure they fully understand how to care for the animals and can share that information with customers. “It’s important to us we know how to provide excellent care,” Stroh said. “We’re doing research all the time to stay up on the latest information.” Since most amphibians and reptiles require glass tanks, heating lamps and specific foods, Scales ‘N Tails and Feeder Frenzy are cautious about to whom they sell their animals. “Things like increases in electrical bills and feed costs add up quite quickly,” Lanigan said. “Certain animals are just not for everybody, and people need to be smart about deciding if they should own these kinds of pets.” Pets continues on Page 13
Other pets: It’s important to consider how a new pet will affect any pets currently in a household. For example, if a house already has birds or other small animals, it may not be a good environment for a snake or large lizard.

Writing about music and lessons learned With my recent vacation and trying to regain my work rhythm upon my return, the anniversary of this column quietly sailed by on Sept. 3. Looking back on my first year as Colorado Community Media’s music columnist, here are a few figures I noted: I’ve written 27 columns, received a dozen fantastic recommendations from readers, curated eight different lists, and received only one mildly threatening letter. Not bad for a year’s work. Sharing my thoughts on music and the subtle and overwhelming ways it touches our lives has been an extraordinarily edifying experience. In honor of this occasion, I’d like to share some lessons I’ve learned. The first, and most repeated lesson, is the different ways music can be interpreted, affecting the listener based on his or her life experiences. In a piece I wrote about music helping with the grieving process, I mentioned artists like James Taylor and Simon and Garfunkel as being immensely comforting during hard times. But I heard from several readers who said they grew up with those musicians’ work, and found them to be joyous music for happy
Pets Continued from Page 12
The Foothills Animal Shelter often becomes the home for these pets, after they’ve been surrendered by their owners. “We get pets from people who just weren’t ready for whatever the animal needs to thrive,” said Jessi Burns, marketing and communications manager with the shelter. “We’ve been trying to get the word out more about our ‘critter corner’ area, and the animals in need of a home there.” One of the best ways to ensure a household is ready for an exotic pet is to do a lot of research, Burns said, and to talk to people who have experience keeping these animals as pets. “Make sure everyone in the house is on board with taking care of the animal,” she said. “So often children get these animals, but when they lose interest, the parents don’t want to take care of the pet either.” There are so many varieties of reptiles and amphibians, and that’s one of the things that makes them such great pets, Stroh said.
times, too. So much of art depends on the listener, and as a critic and consumer it can be easy to forget that. Thankfully, I have readers who aren’t afraid to share their musical stories. Another lesClarke Reader son I’ve learned is “the classics” are LINER called that for a NOTES reason — they still have a strong pull on people of all ages. Some of the columns I received the most feedback from, not just from older residents but people in my age group of 30-somethings, touched on the continued impact of classic artists and genres. In my first column I asked readers to share their favorite song of the summer. The bulk of the results fell into the classic rock and pop arenas — songs like Sly Stone’s “Hot Fun in the Summertime” and “Summer Nights” from “Grease” were popular choices. Even my favorite sum-
mer song is “Night Move” by Bob Seger. One of the most interesting lessons I learned is that while music may ease conversation of social issues and changes, that doesn’t mean discussion of said issues or topics will go smoother. In this column I’ve written twice about the ways music can impact politics and political discourse, about supporting women who are victims of abuse and the important music coming out of the Black Lives Matter movement. I hoped using music as an entryway to these topics — a bridge to potential divides by using a shared language and art — would make reaching out easier. There was certainly some of that in the past year, but we can all try harder to have open dialogue about issues that make us uncomfortable. Those are just some of the key lessons I’ve taken away from this first year, and I’m eager to engage with more of you about why you love music. Thanks for sticking with me on this ride. Now go press play on something great. Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colo-

“It’s so exciting to see all the different personalities these animals have, even within the same species,” she said. “ Depending on how much time you want to spend on the animal, there are a lot of options.” Reptiles and amphibians can be great pets for children, if taught properly, Burns said. A key lesson is how to be responsible and care for another living thing, a sentiment borne out by the experiences of those at Scales ‘N Tails and Feeder Frenzy. “I love helping people get their first animal, and setting them up to be healthy,” Nelson said. “My favorite part is when they come back with a healthy, grown animal that is doing well.”

Asian jungles, Himalayan mountain heights, Latin American rain forests and even metropolitan Los Angeles … Award-winning photographer Steve Winter has traveled the world in search of big cats and other wildlife. He has been attacked by rhinos in India, stalked by jaguars in Brazil, charged by an 11-foot grizzly in Siberia and trapped in quicksand in the world’s largest tiger reserve in Myanmar. He slept in a tent for six months at 40 below zero to track the rare snow leopard. And year-round, he does all in his power to save these endangered animals from extinction. Winter will appear at Lone Tree Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 27 and 10 a.m. on Sept. 28 with his program, “On the Trail of the Big Cats

He wants to give his audiences a reason to care about their world and its inhabitants.

Europe gets brought to life in Littleton Journey to Barcelona, Paris recorded in paintings, photos
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com In May, a group of Arapahoe Community College-based artists flew to Barcelona, Spain, and later to Paris, with the objective of recording each city as each artist perceived it — in paintings or photographs. Media used varied widely and some larger pieces were probably finished in home studios. Faculty members who accompanied the group were photographer Trish Sangelo and painter Marsha Wooley, who have led a number of the ACC Travel Abroad Artists excursions to various visually entrancing locations — catnip for an artist. Images range from a close-up look at a pair of lovers to a garden, to a cityscape showing rooftops, to market scenes, images from Gaudi’s
Barcelona architecture, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, narrow old streets, boats in Barcelona Harbor, abstracts that suggest sunshine and color, interiors of ancient churches and Gaudi’s still-to-be-finished Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Barcelona … The collection of resulting artwork is now exhibited at Colorado Gallery of the Arts through Oct. 4. Some will then have more exposure. A large number of the works have a note next to them now, stating that the painting or photograph will be exhibited elsewhere when this show is over. Some will move to ACC’s Church Street Gallery from Oct. 5 until January, including Rosemary Lohnert’s large, bright abstract, “El Rez,” and Kathy C. Ballah’s “Lunch at Bagueria Market,” a photograph of people enjoying the lunch counter, seated in brightly painted bar chairs. A viewer figures each person probably has a story to tell. Journey continues on Page 20

Board Continued from Page 1
Benevento, an attorney who lives in Highlands Ranch, did not attend either meeting in person but called into the Sept. 8 meeting to ensure the vote to accept his resignation was successful. The District E seat is now officially vacant. The district encompasses Lone Tree, Acres Green, Castle Pines and eastern Highlands Ranch. “The citizens of District E deserve a process as soon as possible to fill the vacancy,” school board President Meghann Silverthorn said. A replacement will be required to reside in the district and will serve out the remainder of Benevento’s term, which expires at the end of 2017. Term limits would have prevented him from running in the next school board election in November 2017. Ray was chosen by the board to work with Silverthorn to identify the finalists who will be interviewed. “Now that all the political implications have been made transparent, I believe we can work toward filling the vacancy with someone who can collaborate in a nonpartisan manner,” Ray said. “My hope is that we can eliminate the mentality of a majority vs. a minority and finally have diplomatic conversations that are based on negotiating, compromising and finding common ground.” Applications for the vacancy will be taken until Sept. 21 on the district website, www.dcsdk12.org. Finalists will be brought to the board for interviews at the Oct. 4 meeting and the call for motions to nominate individuals will occur at the Oct. 18 meeting. In the event the board does not select a person by the end of the 60th day following the declaration of the vacancy — which would be Nov. 7 — the president of the board will appoint a person to fill the vacancy as required by law. The group Voices for Public education said allowing Benevento to vote on accepting his own resignation was troubling, since the resolution directly affected him. “Our hope is that the process for select-

Now that all the political implications have been made transparent, I believe we can work toward filling the vacancy with someone who can collaborate in a nonpartisan manner.” David Ray, Douglas County School Board member
ing a replacement board member will be open, transparent and fair — things the resignation process was not,” said spokesperson Amy DeValk. “We look for a candidate who is a strong supporter of a well-rounded, high-quality public education for all students.” Benevento announced Aug. 17 he was resigning effective immediately. He made his announcement public in an opinion piece in a Denver media outlet as well as privately to Silverthorn the same day. Benevento said he was resigning because he had accomplished what he set out to do in his seven years on the board and didn’t believe much else could be accomplished before the 2017 board election. Silverthorn notified the other board members of Benevento’s resignation via email the day she was notified but did not forward his one-sentence resignation letter, she said. While Silverthorn, board Vice President Judith Reynolds and James Geddes voted to approve the resignation Sept. 6, board members Wendy Vogel, Anne-Marie Lemieux and Ray voted not to accept it. “My reason for voting against accepting Director Benevento’s resignation was to call out the inappropriate practice of termlimited board members who resign before fulfilling their term,” Ray said. “This is a political maneuver that gives the person filling the vacancy an unfair advantage in being considered as an incumbent at the next board election.” The three opposing board members also said procedure was not followed because they had not received Benevento’s resignation in writing. Silverthorn presented it to all board members on Sept. 6, before the first vote. Vogel said the original resolution gave

Aug. 17 as the date of Benevento’s resignation and that since she had not received it on that date, she could “not agree to a document that is false.” An amendment was made to the final resolution to show that Benevento’s resignation was submitted on Aug. 17 but accepted by the board Sept. 8. “I voted for the resolution because it was done properly and most importantly because it reflected that although Mr. Benevento submitted his written resignation to the board president on Aug. 17, it wasn’t duly accepted by the board until Sept. 8,” Vogel said. “I am always happy when we can come to a consensus among
the board and be able to do the work we’re charged to do.” Silverthorn reiterated that everything done in regard to Benevento’s resignation was according to board policy. “Although the acceptance is merely a formality, since Director Benevento was clear that he wanted to resign his seat, Directors Lemieux, Vogel, and Ray accused me of failing to follow proper policy and law,” Silverthorn said. “I consulted with the board’s attorney and he assured me that we followed every applicable law and policy.” Three years into his second term, Benevento has been a strong supporter of school choice and pay-for-performance for teachers as a member of the reformminded majority on the board, which includes Silverthorn, Reynolds and Geddes. Benevento was first elected in 2009 and re-elected in 2013. “As far as the vacancy, I’m most interested in finding a candidate who will put kids at the center of all decision making and who will properly follow policy,” Vogel said. “It is imperative that we hold one another accountable so that we can govern with excellence.”

The reason the cookies are shaped like elephants is because Schiffman, along with HCI and the University of Utah, is conducting research into elephant DNA, which may unlock the cure to childhood cancer. Elephants almost never get cancer because they have 40 copies of a gene that prevents tumors; humans have only two. Parker Kneaders is at 19190 Mainstreet.

KEEPING SCORE WITH... ALEX MICKUS Senior basketball player Highlands Ranch High School
What is your favorite precompetition meal? Chick-fil-A sandwich. It tastes good and fills me up.
“
Why do you participate in sports? It’s a good release from the pressures of everyday life, and I have fun. What is your favorite subject in school? History. I like learning about the past and thinking about its relevance today. Do you play video games, and if so, which one(s)? NBA2K and FIFA. My love of sports carries into the video games I play. They simulate real-life activities that I like. What are your plans for after high school graduation? I would like to play basketball for a high-academic college and major in political science.
Mickus
Who is your favorite professional or collegiate athlete (past or present)? Christian McCaffrey because he excels in athletics, academics and character, and is from the Denver area.
“Keeping Score With…” is a Q&A with high school athletes in the south metro area. Email Colorado Community Media sports writer Jim Benton at jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com if you or someone you know would like to participate.
I’ve been waiting since the beginning of the season to put one away. But this was the most important game, the first league game and against a rival.”

Mick McCall has a message for Broncos fans who might still have concerns about the learning curve that quarterback Trevor Siemian is facing. Siemian made his first National Football League start in the Thursday night game Sept. 8 and helped the Broncos beat Carolina, 21-20, in a Super Bowl rematch in Denver. McCall, the former Douglas County High athlete and Huskies and Mullen football coach, is the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks mentor at Northwestern, where he Jim Benton tutored Siemian. He says there was OVERTIME nothing surprising about Siemian’s firstgame performance and he echoed the Broncos players’ praise of their quarterback’s composure and athletic ability. “I keep telling everybody he is a real level guy and he never gets too high or gets too low,” McCall said. “He connects with everybody, whether it’s the offensive line, the defensive line, DBs or wide receivers. “As a football player, he’s always had a live arm and really studies the game hard. He just takes things as they come... He doesn’t get rattled.” Siemian, who was the Broncos’ third quarterback last season but only took one kneel-down snap in a regularseason game, completed 18 of 26 passes for 178 yards and a touchdown, and he showed the ability to rush for first downs. But he threw two interceptions. Denver fans booed several times when the offense left the field. “He’s not going to let one mistake or a bump in the road hurt him,” McCall said. “He’s going to keep playing and do what he can do. We always talked about this — worry about things you can control and take care of those things. Things out of your control you just have to get up and find a way the next time.” Siemian has the ability to anticipate and throw to receivers before they break away from defenders, which is sometimes hard for new NFL starters to master. “He’s always done that,” McCall said. “We always talked about throwing people open, rather than waiting for them to get open. He’ll anticipate a little bit and trust his guys. He has great confidence with his receivers and everybody up front.” Siemian was part of a two-quarterback system at Northwestern with former Cherry Creek standout Kain Colter. “It was all about the team,” McCall said. “No matter what happens with the decision to start (in Denver), Trevor is always going to be a team guy.” New boys lacrosse coaches John Gallant, who played 14 seasons for the Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League, has been hired as the boys lacrosse coach at Rock Canyon, Jaguars’ Athletic Director Tom Brieske said. Gallant retired as a player in 2015 and has spent the past two seasons as an assistant boys lacrosse coach at Valor Christian. He replaces Louis Goldin, who resigned as the Jaguars’ head coach. Golden Athletic Director JC Summers said Mike Thumin is returning to Golden to take over from Kurt Ohlen as boys lacrosse coach. Benton continues on Page 26

the seventh inning. Horizon, coming off a loss against Smoky Hill in which the Hawks blew a three-run lead in the seventh inning, fell behind to Rampart 13-0 after the top of the first and 18-3 after three frames. The Hawks scored seven runs in the fourth and 13 in the fifth to grab a 23-21 lead. Rampart tied the game in the sixth, but Horizon rallied to win the game. “They had every reason to give up,” Mares said. “What great fortitude and character.”

the Golden Eagles won their fourth straight game against ThunderRidge and swelled their series advantage to 7-2 over their neighboring rivals. “It was an emotional rollercoaster for me coming over from Vista to be the head coach here,” Hayes said. “It was good to see the boys. You always kind of like to see the kids you used to coach. They played very good. Credit to Vista. That was probably the best game that I’ve seen and heard that they have played so far. It’s unfortunate that it was against me.” Key moments After not scoring in the second half in a win over Pine Creek, getting shutout against Cherry Creek and failing to score during the first half versus ThunderRidge, Mountain Vista ended the 165-plus-minute scoring drought when senior Chase Pacheco scored in the 45th minute. “I’ve been waiting since the beginning of the season to put one away,” Pacheco said . “But this was the most important game, the first league game and against a rival. “It was nice. A through ball was played to our outside mid, but it was intercepted and was bouncing around. I took it, beat the outside back and the center back didn’t quite step up, and I just put it near post.” Key players/statistics Nico Kouchich scored Vista’s second goal of the second half. Nolan Gao was credited with an assist on Pacheco’s goal. Mountain Vista keeper Gave Wilder made three saves during the game. They said it “He’s a good head coach,” Ech-

Johnny Desrosier (8) of Mountain Vista pursues the play. Photo by Jim Benton termeyer said about Hayes. “He’s as good as it gets. He’ll get his wins, he will definitely get his wins. We’re trying to put together 80 minutes. It was good to get a win.” Hayes said the Grizzlies will learn from the loss. “Those games where you make one crucial error where they capitalize and when you are playing well that changes the course of
the game,” he said. “Then it gets in your head a little bit and you make another mistake and it compounds from there. It was a really good in terms of lessons that we learned.” Going forward The Golden Eagles (2-2-1) face Legend on Sept. 15. ThunderRidge (2-2-0) challenges Highlands Ranch in another league game Sept. 15.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF SEPT. 12, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Mars, your ruling planet, helps you deal with career challenges in a way that reflects some of your own hidden strengths. This impresses some important decision-makers. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your strong Bovine will, combined with your romantic nature (you are ruled by Venus), helps turn a romance with a potential for problems into one with more-positive possibilities. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Mercury’s influence creates some unsettling moments, but nothing that you can’t live with. You’ll soon learn more about that major change that is about to be revealed. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Opportunities for you are like the phases of the Moon: constantly appearing and reappearing. So, cheer up. The opportunity you think you let slip by will be replaced by another. LEO (July 23 to August 22) An opportunity that you hoped would open up for you remains closed. Stop wasting time scratching at it. Something else you’ll like will soon make itself apparent and accessible. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations. You’ll soon hear some positive feedback for all the hard work you recently put into a project. A Pisces could soon swim into your personal life. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Someone whose friendship you felt you had to write off will try to revive it. What you do is up to you. But don’t do it without giving it considerable thought.

Robinson said it was a challenge for police and the hospital to ensure the campus could accommodate the number of people while maintaining access for patients, staff and other visitors, but she said she was happy the hospital could host the event. “We’re just happy to be a part of this, and to show our continued support for the family,” she said. Brite remained in the hospital’s intensive care unit. He may not have been able to see the people below him as they offered their support, but Spurlock said their prayers continue to make a positive impact on Brite and his family. “You have no idea the power of that,” he said.
