MY NAME IS

MICHELLE COLAIZZI

Michelle Colaizzi, 56, has owned a local Allstate Insurance Agency for 19 years.

She’s passionate about her agency, the community and her family.

Involved resident and business owner with passion for community I am 56 years old and I have lived in Highlands Ranch for 25 years. My husband and I bought our first home in Roxborough in 1988. By 1992 we had two children and felt the need to move closer to all the things we needed access to. We found a great home in Highlands Ranch in 1994 and it has remained our home ever since.

Insurance owner I have owned an Allstate Insurance Agency here in Highlands Ranch for the last 19 years and actually worked for corporate Allstate here in Denver for 14 years before that. What I love most about what I do is that I am able to help families protect what matters to them most as well as helping them prepare for their future.

Giving back to the community I am involved in my community in every way possible. When I opened my agency, I knew I wanted to grow organically and in a way that I could give back to the community where I would be conducting business. I’ve spent many years volunteering with the Highlands Ranch Community

A longtime love for Colorado and family Over the last 25 years, I have learned that Highlands Ranch is an amazing community. Because of that I decided to open my business here. Highlands Ranch is a community that supports local business and has served me well as a business owner. I have learned that if you give to your community, your community will give back to you.

As a 56-year native of Colorado, I feel blessed to be a part of everything Denver and Colorado have to offer.

As a very social and active person, I love all things Highlands Ranch. I love morning walks along the many trails in the area and love afternoon gatherings with friends at Indulge Wine Bar, The Rock and then dinner with my husband at his favorite Torchy’s Tacos.

I am most passionate about my family — both immediate and extended.

My husband of 33 years and I have three adult children who were all raised in Highlands Ranch and live in the Denver area. I am also the youngest of six children with several nieces and nephews. In addition, I love the great outdoors of Colorado. Spending time off road in our Jeep or on the lakes of Colorado in our boat are what we love most. I am an alumnus of CU Boulder and following the CU Buffs is also a great passion of mine.

CU alum I am a first-generation college graduate. I earned my degree in journalism/news broadcast. I worked for the CU football team in media relations for nine years and was the play-byplay typist for the Lady Buffs while in school there.

The ballots are out ... now what?

Officials urge voters to not wait until the last minute

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With the majority of Colorado voters having received their ballots in the mail by now, Douglas County officials are hoping to spread one primary message: Vote early.

That’s because last year, more than 60,000 votes, or 40% of all ballots cast, were received either the day of or the day before the election.

With more than 180,000 total ballots received and a processing capacity of about 25,000 ballots per day, the count took nine days. This year, Merlin Klotz, the county’s clerk and recorder and the designated elections official, wants to prevent this from happening again.

“It (voting early) gets our results in earlier,” Klotz said.

About 80% of Douglas County voters prefer to vote through a ballot drop box, Klotz said. That’s why the county decided to increase the number of boxes this year from nine to 17. Maps of the drop boxes and the four in-person polling locations and other voter resources are available at DouglasVotes.com.

Since Colorado changed to a mail-in, paper ballot system in 2014, the speed of the process has changed.

A new sign by the Douglas County Office Building offices on Third Street encourages voters to submit their ballots at a nearby drop box.

ELLIOTT WENZLER “They still expect 100% election results election night,” Klotz said.

While the counting can be slow, the three preliminary reports given by the county throughout the evening of election day are usually representative of the final result, Klotz said.

“Because it’s randomized, the outcomes aren’t going to change much,” he said.

After ballot is dropped off Once the ballot is signed by the voter and dropped in a box, the easy part is finished and the complex, multi-step process of counting the ballots begins.

First, the ballots are brought into the election headquarters in Castle Rock from the various drop boxes and weighed to determine a count. Then, the envelopes are taken downstairs and run through a sorting machine, which takes photos of each ballot’s signature.

Then the machine places the envelopes in different piles — such as acceptable, too thin, too thick or missing a signature. For those that are accepted, the signatures go through a program that seeks to match them with existing ones from that voter.

At this time, the machine gathers a list of voters whose ballots have been cast and marks them as received through the secretary of state’s office.

This prevents people from voting twice.

If a signature match is found, the sealed envelope is sent to the next stage. If not, it’s sent back upstairs to be reviewed and manually matched by one of about 300 trained temporary workers who help throughout the process.

One in every 50 ballots is audited by a worker, Klotz said. If a matching signature is not found or the voter forgot to sign, notifications are sent to the voter beginning eight days after the election that they need to “cure their ballot.”

Last year, about 400 ballots needed to be cured, Klotz said. The majority were never corrected or counted because the

voters failed to complete the cure.

Counting the votes After the ballots are opened, they go through a counting machine. If there is an issue with the paper that prevents it from being read by the machine, such as when someone appears to have changed their choice and crossed out an original selection, trained workers also review these to make determinations.

Watchers from the various campaigns can oversee these decisions along with the signature matching and make complaints if they deem it necessary.

Nearly every step of the way, there is key card security to enter each room and overhead cameras recording to ensure the integrity of the process. There is also always a mix of Democrats and Republicans handling the ballots, transporting them and making signature or vote decisions.

On election day, Klotz, who oversees the whole process, finds himself feeling somewhat like an orchestra leader, he said.

“Things are so well-planned that I’m not worrying what the first violin is doing and I’m just keeping an eye on it,” he said.

There are two main things voters can do to help this orchestra play as smoothly as possible, he said.

“Get your ballot in early,” he said.

“Remember to sign it.”

Douglas County braces for property tax spike Assessor urges property owners to engage in process

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Douglas County residents open their property tax bills in January, they might be shocked at the figure on the paper.

At least that’s what Assessor Lisa Frizell is worried about.

“It’s going to be a problem,” she said.

Now, about two months out, she’s trying to ready residents by encouraging them to check on their property values using an online portal and if necessary, challenge their home’s valuation. While the appeal period ended June 1, residents can rebut their tax bills by filing an abatement beginning January 1.

“They need to be prepared for the tax bill in January because they could be surprised,” she said.

On average, single-family home values saw an increase of nearly 15% and attached homes, such as condos and town homes, rose by 16%. But home values aren’t the only part of the equation.

Understanding the reason for the stark jump in property taxes requires

a breakdown of how the fees are determined.

“I want them to understand what goes into the calculation,” Frizell said.

“It’s not just property value.”

There are three elements that go into the formula that determines a home’s property taxes: the house’s value, the assessment rate, and the mill levies that will be set in mid-December by various taxing authorities where the home is located. All told, there are about 300 different taxing authorities in Douglas County, such as the school district, South Metro Fire Rescue and various metro districts.

A home’s valuation, which is reassessed by the county every two years, is based solely on past sales of comparable houses, she said. The valuations in Douglas County this year are based on about 20,000 home sales during a 24-month period, which began in July 2016 and ended at the end of June 2018.

Since 2012, home values have generally been steadily increasing. So, what makes this year’s taxes the source of shock? The answer is: the other parts of the equation.

Once determined, a home’s valuation is multiplied by the assessment rate, which is set by the state, to get the assessed value. The final step is to multiply the assessed value by the mill levies on the home.

From 2003 to 2016, the state’s assessment rate remained at 7.96%, and

in 2017, it was reduced to 7.2%. That same year, the Colorado Legislative Council staff predicted that in 2019, the rate would fall by 15% to a rate of 6.11%. Instead, it went down less than 1% to 7.15%.

There are several reasons that this rate didn’t drop as much as predicted, including the contrast between growing values in the metro area and the more stagnant growth in rest of the state, Frizell said. The Gallagher Amendment, which requires commercial properties to fund 55% of the state’s property taxes and residential to pay about 45%, also had an effect.

Under the Gallagher Amendment, in order for the rate to fall to what was predicted, home values must rise faster than commercial property values.

But as business, industrial properties and oil and gas values throughout the state see large increases, the mandated 45/55 ratio applies upward pressure on the state’s residential assessment rate.

What can you control?

While most of the tax equation is finalized, there are a few steps that can be taken to put the costs back into the control of the taxpayers.

First, homeowners can use the Douglas County property assessment site to check their home’s valuation at Douglas.co.us/assessor.

by Kathy Muni Some people are convinced that a reverse mortgage is a trick—at first. And there are some historical reasons for that belief.

Reverse mortgages have been around since the 1980s. Years ago, some questionable lenders failed to disclose that you are required to pay homeowners insurance and property taxes (which are paid through an escrow account with a traditional forward mortgage). This led to sensational headlines blaming reverse mortgages for foreclosures.

A foreclosure is certainly a scary outcome! All homeowners—not just seniors—who do not pay property taxes are at risk of a tax-lien foreclosure.

Over the years, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has improved the program significantly to protect seniors:

School board candidates meet at student-organized forum Candidates discuss school funding, security and most pressing issues in district

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Hanson

The six Douglas County School Board candidates talked fiscal plans, school security and what they believe are the most pressing issues facing the school district at a recent forum.

The event was planned and moderated by students from Highlands Ranch High School and Ponderosa High School. Ponderosa’s speech and debate team joined forces with Highland Ranch High’s AP government class to organize the Oct. 21 forum.

All candidates were in attendance.

Running in District A are candidates Andy Jones and Susan Meek. In District C are Elizabeth Hanson and Franceen Thompson. And in District F, Kory Nelson is challenging incumbent David Ray. Candidates dug into school funding at the forum when asked to outline their fiscal plan for the next several years.

Jones said the community can only be persuaded to increase taxes if it trusts local leadership. He believes in keeping tax dollars in the community, he said.

“I’m a firm believer in local con-

trol,” he said.

Meek said Colorado is in a school funding crisis and is one of the lowestfunded states for schools. Since the Great Recession, Douglas County has lost nearly $600 million in state funding, she said.

“That impacts what we can pay teachers. That impacts hiring bus drivers and paying for buses,” she said. “If the state were fully funding Douglas County School District through the School Finance Act, this year alone Douglas County schools would have $41 million more.”

Thompson also stated the district was underfunded by $41 million. She encouraged finding a district lobbyist to advocate at the Capitol rather than leaning on the Colorado Association of School Boards.

Hanson urged voters to listen closely and be wary of candidates who made promises they couldn’t keep. The board needs to capitalize on the economies of scale in a district its size, she said.

“I think it’s really important to understand that our budget is a fixed number. As a board we have a respon-

Thompson

sibility to make sure that fixed number, those dollars are being used as efficiently as possible,” Hanson said.

Nelson criticized his opponent Ray, the school board president, for the school district’s response to a $3 million offer from Douglas County commissioners earlier this year to help fund school resource officers.

Commissioners required the funds to be matched. Initially, district board directors and administrators said the match couldn’t be found within the district budget but later added more school resource officers in local schools.

Nelson said he would have found the $3 million match as a director. He also urged the district to join a mass tort litigation against the vaping company JUUL to try to recover any taxpayer dollars now being spent on addressing teen addiction.

Ray said the passage of a bond and mill levy override in November showed there is local trust in district leaders. He also said the district has prepared for a recession “because we know that that potentially is looming

in our world right now.”

The board sets budget priorities but also relies on the expertise of its staff in budgeting, he said.

Candidates also discussed the issues they felt were most pressing in the district, to which answers varied.

Nelson said school safety is the most pressing, but the health of students is also critical.

Ray said anxiety and stress among students needs to be better addressed, scrutinizing the media for “just doing a horrific thing to our students” by making students wonder if they will need to serve as first responders when at school.

Jones said the No. 1 issue for all parents is safety, but he also said students need more mental health resources and urged improving resilience among youths to deal with “modern day pressures.”

Meek also said mental health is the most pressing issue for her, noting that Colorado has the highest suicide rate for adolescents in the nation.

Thompson, whose daughter was a senior a STEM School Highlands Ranch during the fatal May shooting at the school, said the community needs to have tough discussions about security and leave all options on the table.

Hanson said safety and mental health were key issues in the district but also globally. She urged people to embrace each other’s differences and strive for more than tolerance.

Trail links RidgeGate with Highlands Ranch East/West Regional Trail opens segment to allow passage under I-25 STAFF REPORT

A 2.5-mile segment of the East/West Regional Trail was recently completed, running from a trailhead near RidgeGate Parkway and I-25 at Schweiger Ranch to the Cabela’s Drive connector trail west of I-25.

Completion of this project relied on the collaboration

of local and state partners, including the Colorado Department of Transportation, the City of Lone Tree, Rampart Range Metro District, RidgeGate Investments, Schweiger Ranch Foundation and Great Outdoors Colorado.

“The days of a single agency having the means to complete an undertaking of this magnitude are long gone,” Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas said in a news release. “This project is just one notable example of creative solutions that can be achieved through strong community partnerships on behalf of those we

serve.”

This is the first phase of an 8-mile segment of the trail made possible by a $2 million grant from GOCO to Douglas County and the Town of Parker to connect Lone Tree to the Cherry Creek Trail in Parker. Construction of the final portion of the trail is in design with construction slated for 2020.

When complete, the East/ West Regional Trail will extend 28 miles from Chatfield State Park to Parker, connecting Douglas County with major trail systems statewide, including the Colorado Trail and Cherry Creek Trail.

The site also allows homeowners to compare their home’s valuation to those in the same area with similar square footage, style, age and quality.

Those who believe their home’s value or taxes are incorrect can refute them through filing an abatement beginning Jan. 1. The process, which can result in a refund, does not change the due date of taxes owed and can take up to six months. More information on abatements is available on the Douglas County website by searching

“abatement process.”

Second, homeowners can engage with their taxing entities, which set the mill levies, about the rates they select. While most of the elements of property tax have been determined, mill levies will not be reported to the board of county commissioners until Dec. 15.

A pie chart of each home’s mill levies is also available on the property assessment site along with contact information for the taxing entities.

If tax authorities keep their rates the same this year, they will actually be taking in more revenue than in years past because of the increase in home values. They’re not required to reduce their rate to bring in the same amount as last year, Frizell said.

“I strongly urge all property owners to be part of the budget hearing process for these tax authorities that provide services to their property owners,” Frizell said. “So they can have a voice.”

Two years after child’s death, mom charged with murder Indictment says daughter died after woman refused to comply with doctors’ recommendations for girl

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A former resident of Highlands Ranch has been arrested and charged with 13 counts in connection with the August 2017 death of her 7-year-old daughter.

An 18th Judicial District grand jury returned an indictment against Kelly Turner, 41, on charges including murder, child abuse, theft and forgery.

Turner convinced doctors to cease treatment on what she said was her terminally ill daughter, according

to the indictment. Turner said her daughter, Olivia Gant, had multiple conditions, including seizures, malfunctioning intestines and constipation. A recent autopsy shows the child was not facing many of the conditions that Turner claimed.

Turner was arrested in Glendale on Oct. 18 and is being held in the Douglas County jail without bond, according to a news release from the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Turner Office.

In 2013, when Olivia was being treated at Children’s Hospital Colorado for constipation, Turner told physicians the child had extreme pain while eating, and Olivia was eventually placed on a feeding tube.

Turner later refused care for Olivia recommended by doctors, and within

a matter of weeks, the girl died, according to the indictment. Before her death, multiple media outlets reported on a bucket list Olivia was completing, including riding along with a police officer for a day.

Doctors became suspicious of Olivia’s death because in 2016, Turner brought in her other daughter and claimed that she used to have cancer, the indictment said. The doctors at Children’s Hospital Colorado checked with the girl’s former doctors in Texas and found that she never had a cancer diagnosis or treatment.

Investigators in the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office began interviewing Olivia’s doctors in October 2018 and found that throughout her treatment, most of the girl’s medical history and symptoms were relayed to doctors by Turner, according to the indictment.

Turner repeatedly went against

doctors’ recommendations, including continuing to administer a seizure medication with side effects to the girl, even though she was never diagnosed as having seizures, according to the indictment. When doctors told her they wanted to try weaning Olivia off her feeding tube, she told them “it had already been tried.”

Eventually, Turner demanded that all care be withdrawn from her daughter, claiming the child’s “quality of life was poor,” according to the document. On Aug. 20, 2017, Olivia died while in Denver Hospice.

More than a year later, Olivia’s body was exhumed and an autopsy was performed. The cornoner found the manner of death to be undetermined and that there wasn’t evidence she died from the stated cause of intestinal failure.

South Metro Chamber president to leave for new job Bob Golden has held post since 2014; search is on for replacement

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce will be hunting for a new leader soon, after President and CEO Bob Golden announced he will step down from the post at the end of October.

Golden, who has led the chamber since 2014, is taking a job as the business operations manager for the Water Design-Build Council, a Marylandbased not-for-profit group that seeks to “advance the development and rehabilitation of the nation’s municipal Golden water and wastewater systems,” according to its website.

Golden will work remotely from Denver, he said.

“Leaving the chamber is bittersweet,” Golden said. “The bottom line is, I feel I’ve given them my best, and it’s time to move on, and for the chamber it’s time for them to get someone new with fresh vision and ideas.”

Golden said he’s proud of the work he and the chamber’s board and members accomplished over the last five years.

“I think we brought a lot of stabilization to the organization,” Golden said. “When I got here, there was a tendency to be sort of scattered. It was unfocused, and that was frustrating.

We instituted a vision: economic development, public policy advocacy and business engagement. Once we got that vision in place, it really helped us grow.”

The chamber, which has its headquarters in Centennial, boasts thousands of members, Golden said,

DEATH FROM PAGE 7

When interviewed by detectives, Turner denied ever fabricating medical conditions for her children, according to the indictment.

Without being asked, she also brought up Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a mental disorder in which a person repeatedly claims someone in their care, usually a child, is ill, sometimes causing actual ailments to the person.

“That has never been my case, like at all, whatsoever,” she said, according to the indictment. “You can talk to anyone that stood by my side through … all of this.”

Turner reportedly admitted to fabricating an early childhood

stretching from south Denver to Castle Rock, and from Parker to the mountains. Member businesses run the gamut, “From Mr. Smoothie to Lockheed Martin,” Golden said.

Golden really whipped the group into shape, said board member Andrew Graham, who stepped down as chair of the board in September.

“When he came on, he needed to ensure the financial solvency of the chamber, reinvigorate our events and our member base, and reconstitute the board,” Graham said. “He did a great job at all of that. Like the Boy Scouts say, he left it better than he found it.”

A board committee will begin working to find an interim replacement right away, Graham said, with hopes to appoint a long-term successor to Golden by the first quarter of 2020.

Christie Lee, the board’s current chair, said in a statement that the chamber will work hard to find the right fit.

“Rest assured that we will proceed expeditiously and perform the due diligence required to find and select the best candidate for the position,” Lee said in a news release. “The South Metro Denver Chamber is a wonderful organization and whoever is selected will be very fortunate and have an opportunity to continue to grow the chamber.”

Graham said the chamber will be looking for “someone who can build on this momentum.”

“Someone who’s dedicated to the south metro region, and a passion for what this group is,” he said. “Ideally, that would be someone who lives in our region already, but it might be a hotshot chamber executive from elsewhere.”

In the meantime, Graham said, there’s still lots of work to be done elsewhere, including the chamber’s annual Economic Forecast Breakfast, scheduled for January.

The chamber owes a debt of gratitude to Golden, Graham said.

“He showed true and heartfelt dedication to a tough job,” he said. cancer diagnosis for one of her children but told authorities the other health-related claims were legitimate.

Turner was also charged with charitable fraud, theft and forgery for the financial side of the medical claims, according to the indictment.

A GoFundMe page for Olivia, which was started in 2015, raised more than $22,000. A Make-A-Wish Foundation event put on for Olivia totaled more than $11,000 in expenses.

The indictment also said Turner defrauded the Medicaid system of more than $530,000 between 2014 and 2018. It also states she never paid for funeral expenses for the child, which cost more than $5,000, despite receiving a check of $3,000 from a foundation aiming to help the families of sick children.

Christian Redman remembered by family, brothers in arms

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Christian Redman was known as a man who brought people together.

His band of brothers knew him as a man who would offer his right arm if needed, a man who would give you the shirt off his back without question.

“You grow real close when you face what we were facing every day,” said former Capt. Dan Schultz, of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, also known as the Blackhorse Regiment, who commanded C Troop when Redman left in 1989, but served in the same unit as Redman at the same time.

Redman, 51, of Parker, died Oct. 5 of complications from the colon cancer he fiercely fought for three years. His friends say he was always a fighter — a trait instilled in him from a young age by his father, Command Master Chief David Redman, now retired from the Navy.

“They have this thing in them that they’re all fighters,” said Ron Meier, a close friend who, with Schultz and a crowd of family and friends, attended the Oct. 17 honor-guard ceremony for Redman at Fort Logan National Cemetery.

Among those at the service were members of the Blackhorse Association, a tightly-knit group organized for veterans in the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment.

Ray Simpson, a Blackhorse veteran from Colorado Springs, first met Redman in March after offering to drive him to Key West as part of the association’s inaugural make-a-wish last ride.

Simpson didn’t know Redman, “but

Christian Redman, who died after a battle with cancer Oct. 5, said earlier this year that he has “lived three lifetimes in one — I’ve stuffed everything in it.”

FILE PHOTO I didn’t have to,” he said. “I knew his brothers.”

“Fulfilling Christian’s last wish to ride his Harley in Florida during Bike Week and put his toes in the sand — although an ambitious last wish — was rewarding and humbling,” Rocky Cuda, a retired sergeant and president of the Florida chapter of the Blackhorse Regiment Cavalry Motorcycles, wrote in an email.

Cuda, Simpson and Redman connected on the Blackhorse Association Facebook page as Redman shared his battle with cancer. Cuda’s idea for a Blackhorse last ride became “Maverick’s Last Ride,” after Redman’s call sign from his Army days. Although it didn’t materialize as a cross-country caravan because of Redman’s medical condition, he was able to visit his daughter in Kentucky and get to Key West, Redman’s all-time happy place, accompanied by various Blackhorse veteran troopers along the way.

A switch in time ain’t kind

on’t forget to fall back. I would rather not fall back or spring forward, and every year others express the same thing at the time, QUIET and then we forget about it until it DESPERATION comes around again.

It’s not as much of a nuisance as it once was, because many of our clocks do it on their own, even inexpensive ones, like my clock radio.

It’s all an entomologist’s fault. I’ll get to Craig Marshall him.

Wikipedia says, Smith

“(Daylight saving time) clock shifts sometimes complicate timekeeping and can disrupt travel, billing, record keeping, medical devices, heavy equipment, and sleep patterns.”

Clocks are everywhere, and it’s why I don’t own a watch. A watch is one way to let others know what kind of watch you have.

Like that football player who wears a $191,000 watch. While he is playing. It’s another professional athlete absurdity.

I am never late.

Someone said, “If you’re early, you’re on time. If you’re on time, you’re late.”

However, Evelyn Waugh said, “Punctuality is the virtue of the bored.”

I think punctuality is very erotic, is what I think.

I have never been on an airplane at 2 a.m. when we are supposed to fall back or spring forward, but I have often wondered what happens.

I think if you are flying from the East Coast to the West Coast, you arrive before you left. Do your whiskers know that? Of course not, they keep growing as if it’s business as usual.

There’s one clock I never change. It’s the one in my car.

Jennifer says, “Your clock isn’t right.”

“It will be.”

Arizona and Hawaii don’t observe Daylight Savings Time, although Arizona Navajo observe it on tribal lands.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Ray a real leader We’ve had kids in Douglas County public schools for the last 14 years. We were part of the district’s rise to greatness, and also witnessed its decline.

Under the leadership of David Ray and his team, our school district is returning to greatness. We have more than 90 schools and about 70,000 kids in our district. Yet when our elementary school started a National Junior Honor Society two years ago, David Ray showed up at 7:15 in the morning to show his support.

This is the kind of leader that we want in our school district! Vote for David Ray and anyone else (Meek, Hanson) that he supports.

Mike Giles Parker We need open minds In the Oct. 10 edition of the paper, the article on the six Douglas County School Board candidates was quite revealing. On the topic of potentially arming teachers and/or staff who are willing and properly trained, the difference between the candidates is eye opening. The candidates who refer to themselves as “a team” (Meek, Hanson, and Ray) are not even open to any discussion, or consideration of the issue. The three other candidates (Jones, Thompson, and Nelson) are open to considering all security options by listening to staff, experts, the community and law enforcement.

My experience with committees, boards, study groups, etc., is they are most effective when the members are open minded, and consider input from various sources before making any decision or putting forth any recom-

mendation. It doesn’t sound to me like “the team” has any interest in doing this. “Teams” don’t make good boards; open-minded people do. I know where my vote will be going.

Jim Kullas Lone Tree Vote for Hanson, Meek, Ray Starting my fifth year of teaching, I find myself hopeful for the future because the district I have known and loved is moving in the right direction.

I grew up in Douglas County School District, attending Pioneer Elementary, Sagewood Middle School, and Ponderosa High School, and then I returned in 2015 to teach at my alma mater. We are getting back to our roots of prioritizing students and educators. We are focusing on the teaching and learning of students and working toward preparing them for a variety of careers and occupations.

As we come to another school board election this November, I hope my community will vote for Hanson, Meek and Ray. Meek and Ray have the educational expertise and experience to guide the Douglas County School District to be a school district that is well known for its curriculum and instruction again. Hanson has the skillset in human resources to continue recruiting and retaining great teachers. Each person brings a facet of leadership and knowledge that will continue bettering our district.

I am proud to work in Douglas County School District. When I was a student, Douglas County was regarded as one of the best school districts in the United States.

Amazing success comes from within and without

ears from now someone will be sharing their life stories with the world and recognizing the people who influenced them the most and contributed to their successes.

People will stand on stage, at a lectern, write a column or blog, and give credit where credit is due.

They will refer to things like the people who served as role models for them when they were younger, or who WINNING offered sage wisdom or timely WORDS advice. Some will acknowledge coaches and mentors, parents and siblings, teachers and professors, managers and coworkers and the impact that they all made and the role that each had Michael Norton played along the way.

Humbly, I have received that kind of appreciation and recognition over the years. People have given me credit for providing hope and encouragement or guidance of some kind, and many times I was completely unaware of what I was doing, writing, or saying at the time and any impact that I

might have had upon their lives.

And I say humbly because for many years, learning from own of my own friends and mentors, that the credit goes to the person who applies the wisdom, advice and teachings, and not to me.

I remember time after time watching as someone would approach Zig Ziglar and thank him for his motivation, guidance, and shared wisdom. Appreciating how what he said and how what he wrote changed their lives for the better. The letters and emails would pour into the office, thanking Zig for saving their marriage, helping them quit a bad habit, lose weight, control their diabetes, fight cancer, advance in their career, open their own business, and grow deeper in their faith.

And each time, Zig would thank them and let them know that it really wasn’t him who made the difference. Instead, he would remind them that they were the ones who heard him, or who read his books, and who decided to take responsibility and the actions necessary to achieve personal and professional success.

Zig was such a great ambassador to his profession and a true difference maker in the world.

Roth conversion is worth considering as tax year wanes

he most successful investors understand early on to not worry about the things you cannot change and to focus on the FINANCIAL things you can.

STRATEGIES Even though there are only about 10 weeks left in 2019, there may be something you can do to improve your future, reduce taxes and provide a tax-free legacy.

One way to possibly do all three Patricia Kummer of these is through a Roth conversion. According to Ed Slott, CPA, “It’s an optimal time to do Roth conversions because tax rates are low and tax brackets are wide.

You can go up to over $300,000 as a married-joint filer and still stay in the 24 percent bracket.”* Then after you pay the taxes on the amount you converted from a traditional or rollover IRA to a Roth, you can enjoy tax-free

benefits on the principal and any amount of gain after five years.

Check with your financial or tax adviser and see how much you can fill up your current tax bracket and only convert up to that amount. That way you are controlling how much tax you pay and in what year. While we don’t know what tax brackets will be in the future, we do know that with the 2018 tax law change, the lower brackets were expanded, allowing more income to flow in without jumping into higher tax brackets too quickly.

Roth IRAs can be valuable on several fronts: •You can invest your longest-term, highest-growth investments in an account that will grow tax-free and never pay taxes on the gain.

•You can reduce the amount of your Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) at age 70 1/2 since there are no required distributions for the owner or their spouse on Roth IRAs. • You can provide tax-free income for your spouse who may survive you. This avoids the “widow’s pen-

alty” where the income may remain substantially the same (except for the smaller of the two Social Security checks stopping) but the taxes increase since the widow(er) now must file as a single taxpayer after a time.

• Your beneficiaries can inherit a Roth IRA tax-free. Even though a nonspouse heir is required to take RMDs from a Roth, the distributions will be tax-free. This is a great legacy tool, to leave assets growing tax-free for the next generation.

It is best to create a strategy over your work and retirement years to determine the optimal time to consider a Roth conversion. Usually the first year of retirement, perhaps before any pension or Social Security starts, you may have an unusually low tax year. Don’t let this opportunity pass without considering if a conversion would be beneficial to you.

Retirement plans always look better when there is access to a tax-free investment account. Often in retirement, taxes don’t always drop much if your standard of living is the same,

and if you must withdraw your living expenses from a pre-tax IRA or retirement plan. Therefore, there may be a benefit to planning to convert before year-end if this is a low-income year.

You also may want to convert when your account positions are low in value. Sometimes this can happen after a stock market adjustment, or after mutual funds pay out fourth quarter distributions. *Investment News interview, May 17, 2019.

Christian Redman Christian Redman (C Troop, 1986-1989) passed away on October 5, 2019 after a three year fight with cancer.

He served in the Border Legion as a 19D Scout, first in C Troop and then at Border Operations.

Chris was an accomplished Bradley crewman and gunner, and he was known for his natural ability in the field, whether at the Border, maneuvering through the German countryside, or during gunnery training and certifications at Wildflecken and Grafenwoehr. Chris fondly spoke of his days in the Cold Steel, especially as the driver for thenFirst Sergeant (now SGM, Ret.) Roy Sampson.

An avid motorcyclist, Chris enjoyed riding all over the US; he was especially happy when he shared adventures with his Army buddies from the Blackhorse. He also loved to meet friends and spend time in Key West, FL, especially while under the “supervision” of former Cold Steel Troopers such as retired CSM Curtis “CC” Brown and MSG Jim Oldenburg.

After service in the Army, Chris chose a career in Law Enforcement, eventually rising to be Chief of the City of Hurstbourne Acres Police Department in Jefferson County, KY. He then retired to be with his family in Parker, CO for the past 5 years, where he started and ran a construction company until his illness forced him

to stop working.

Christian was very active in the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment’s Blackhorse Association, where he helped build the Gold Vault Chapter, and he was a key contributor to the 2013 Regimental Reunion in Louisville, KY. Christian was also one of the founders of the Cold Steel Scholarship, which is a part of the Blackhorse Association Scholarship program.

Chris is survived by his father, Command Master Chief David Redman (USN, Ret.) and mother Jacquelyn; sisters Jennifer Redman Campbell and Susan Jeanette Redman; and his beloved daughter Alexis Rae Redman.

Services were held at Fort Logan National Cemetery, 4400 Kenyon Ave., in Denver, on October 17, 2019, after an escorted procession from the Horan & McConaty Funeral Home, 5303 East County Line Rd., in Centennial.

In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that any remembrances be donated to the Cold Steel Scholarship Fund of the Blackhorse Association, in memory of Christian Redman.

Why people seek to be scared and what they’re really afraid of

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

reg Reinke is in the business of scary, but he doesn’t always want to make you afraid.

Clad in a black leather jacket on Oct. 11 at his Littleton costume shop, Reinke Bros., he divulged his secrets for being scary without scaring people away.

“We use our minds,” Reinke said.

Scary is feeling your heart stop at the unexpected clash of plates shattering on the floor, the skin-crawling sensation of being followed or the panicked feeling of losing your balance in a dark hallway. Each year, Reinke sets out to find new ways of prodding that part in a person’s brain — finding what scares people.

“If you make an experience where people come through and have a great time, listen to them as they come out,” Reinke said. “I’m here to entertain you.”

Reinke draws a line at displaying overwhelming images of blood and guts because, to him, that’s not scary. It’s just disturbing.

He toes this line occasionally, but even the edible, fake human limbs sitting in a deli refrigerator provokes smacking lips as much as a shivering spine.

Reinke wants to show people the fun side of scary. For small children, he’ll turn all the lights on in his haunted house tour, allow them to touch the walls and see that everything is fake.

“Therefore, they know the difference between reality and fantasy,” Reinke said. “(We) teach them that being scared can be fun.”

Every person has a different tolerance for scary, but the core themes of what scares us is relatively unanimous: Failure, the unknown, death. You know when you’re scared when your heart races, your breath shortens and the hair stands up on your neck. And we seek out this feeling, whether it be from a horror film, a roller coaster ride or bungee jumping.

Lauren DeCarvalho, Ph.D., teaches a freshman-level course on horror movies at the University of Denver.

DeCarvalho said what scares people can often be attributed to real-life anxieties people feel, like losing cell phone service or being stalked.

These are newer feelings, specifically in American culture, that trigger that sense of fear. Gone are the days of werewolves and vampires scaring us, here are the days of “real-life” horrors. “(Scary) tends to fit with a lot of cognitive interests,” DeCarvalho said. “You can kind of think of it as watching a train wreck. You’re kind of repulsed, but you want to keep watching.”

How we find our scares boils down to what actually scares us, DeCarvalho said. “Paranormal Activity,” released in 2008, commented on the Great Recession. Classic 1950s alien

and sci-fi movies metaphorized the Red Scare, while ghosts often symbolize the unknown or death, DeCarvalho said.

“It’s constantly changing and keeping up with the times,” DeCarvalho said.

Most people ceremoniously celebrate these fears around Halloween and those who are particularly festive go out of their way to incite the feeling. Some are scared more easily than others.

A skeleton may be an unsettling symbol of death, but a person skipping around in a smiling skeleton jumpsuit doesn’t make us feel afraid.

Embracing something that scares us automatically reduces the scary value of it and gives us a glimpse into our greatest fears and how we would react in the face of danger. At Halloween, we laugh and giggle, collect candy and bob for apples in the face of everything that scares us so it no longer does.

“We all need that outlet and some way to get that extra little kick you wouldn’t be able to get otherwise,” said Bryan Bonner, co-founder of Rocky Mountain Paranormal.

Bonner said the feeling can be addictive, but, “just like a drug,” he said, “it takes differently” for different people.

“The spooky side of (scary) is the safe side of it, but the initial reaction is the same thing,” Bonner said. “That initial reaction is nearly identical, which is why I think people are addicted to that.”

Students embrace roles at Haunted Forest

Visitors got a good scare at the fundraiser for the Backcountry

bout 150 high school students from across Douglas County recently volunteered their Friday and Saturday nights to help raise money for the Backcountry Wilderness Area in an unusual way: by scaring people.

The teens dressed up in masks, makeup and costumes and hid throughout the mile-long trail in Highlands Ranch during the Haunted Forest event Oct. 18 and 19.

Those wandering through the forest saw a variety of haunting themes, including missing children, spiders, homicide and walking dead. They also walked through sections designed to look like a haunted maze, a butcher shop and a cemetery.

Funds from the event, which cost $13 per person, were donated to the Backcountry Conservation and

Education Fund and contributed to wildlife habitat conservation and environmental education.

While some of the volunteers were guides or helpers, about 115 were assigned to scaring. Before the event, the scaring volunteers got a lesson from experts of the 13th Floor, a popular haunted house in Denver.

They learned about using their vocal range, staying in character and committing to their roles, said Lindsey McKissick, communications coordinator for the backcountry.

“No matter who they are in school, they can be their character in the Haunted Forest,” McKissick said.

Most students agreed they signed up for the event because it looked like a fun way to log volunteer hours.

“It’s fun to scare the kids,” said Aidan Borchert, a senior at Thunder Ridge High School.

Borchert, who has participated in the event for three years, had an elaborate costume that included two sets of stilts, one for his feet and one for his arms. He wore a hooded cloak over the outfit and a clown mask.

His scaring tactic was to follow people after they exited the maze, he said.

Douglas County high school students dressed in burlap sacks practiced their scaring tactics before the start of the Backcountry Haunted Forest event Oct. 18 through 19.

The Haunted Forest consisted of several different themes including kidnappers, zombies, spiders and exorcism.

REDMAN FROM PAGE 10

Meier and a number of Redman’s Parker friends, including Bob Nobles of Takoda Tavern, held a fundraiser and started a GoFundMe to help pay for expenses of the trip and Redman’s medical bills. People from across the Denver metro area and country contributed.

“It’s the culmination of a journey,” Meier said at Fort Logan. “It wasn’t a fun journey for him or his friends because he was a very proud man.

He was a vivacious guy, the life-ofthe-party guy, and to see that deteriorate was heartbreaking.”

For Redman, who was accustomed

to being the problem-solver, the one organizing help and fundraisers for others, the reversal of roles was humbling. The generosity of strangers and friends touched him deeply.

“I am very blessed,” he said after a fundraiser in 2017 to help with his medical expenses.

Redman served in the Border Legion as 19D Scout of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment. He arrived in Fulda, Germany, as a Private First Class, where he met his commanding officer, Schulz, serving from 1986-89.

The 11th Armored Cavalry was stationed at the front step of the Soviet Union and stood guard as the Berlin Wall fell in 1989.

After four years in the Army, he began a career in law enforcement, eventually becoming chief of the

City of Hurstbourne Acres Police Department in Jefferson County, Kentucky. He semi-retired to be with his family in Parker in 2014. There, he started and ran a construction company until his illness kept him from working.

Redman is survived by his father, his mother Jacquelyn, sisters Jennifer Redman Campbell and Susan

Jeanette Redman, and his beloved daughter, Alexis Rae Redman.

“I’ve lived three lifetimes in one — I’ve stuffed everything in it,” Redman said during an interview in February. “The most important thing is my daughter is taken care of.”

Some might credit Zig with helping them to achieve a little bit of success, and others will credit him with contributing to their tremendously amazing success.

As I began this column with the notion of how years from now people will continue to give others credit for their success, my intent was to remind us all that what helped us to achieve success in the past, even tremendously amazing success, are the same practices and principles that contributed to our successes yesterday, fuel our success today, and drive all of our successes yet to be realized. And the person responsible for acting on those practices and principles is you.

There are new authors and experts out there today, people with really cool perspectives and very insightful wisdom. I personally enjoy reading their posts, blogs, books and columns. I also love listening to their inspiring podcasts whenever I am traveling or commuting to work.

And what I appreciate about these women and men of all ages, is how

LETTERS FROM PAGE 12

I know the work being done in the classrooms and at each school

October 24, 2019O they maintain the integrity of the practice or principle, and yet share it in new and engaging ways.

Tremendously amazing success will mean something different for us all as we each pursue our own goals for our own reasons. For some it might be a financial goal, and yet for others it is a fitness goal. For some it’s staying in recovery from addiction, and for others it’s making it through that first day of sobriety. For some it might be becoming our own boss, and for others it’s getting a clean report on our next CT scan. Tremendously amazing success is defined and owned by each one of us as individuals.

So how about you? Are there people out there who have given you hope and encouragement, timely guidance and wisdom? Has it positively impacted your life? I would love to hear you story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can apply the motivation and teachings of others to enjoy our tremendously amazing success, it really will be a better than good week.

Saturday, October 26th - 10:00 AM

Even the most cursory look at Disney Pixar Animation Studios’ creative output makes one thing abundantly clear — the studio is responsible for the most astounding creative output of this century. In terms of technical achievement and creative storytelling, nothing comes close.

It’s the partnership between the technical and creative that gets explored in the Denver Museum of Nature & Science’s new exhibit “The Science Behind Pixar.”

“The exhibit follows the entire process of how these films and stories are created,” said Greg Koronowicz, the museum’s senior producer of digital media. “It covers everything, from what it takes to animate the 3D characters to lighting and beyond.”

The exhibit runs at the museum, 2001 Colorado Blvd., through April 5. Timed tickets will be required and advance reservations are strongly encouraged.

“What’s great about the exhibit is it shows how artists and animators rely on scientists and programmers to help create the movies,” said Dr. Ka Chun Yu, curator of space sciences at the museum. “People can learn about how the creative and scientific work together.”

Each section in the exhibit focuses on a step in the filmmaking process — modeling, rigging, surfaces, sets and cameras, animation, simulation, lighting, and rendering — with more than 50 interactive elements along the way. Visitors can build robots like SEE PIXAR, P23

those in “WALL•E,” create a virtual 3D shape and play it in a 360-degree view and make their own stop-motion animations.

Some of the most fascinating parts of the exhibit pull back the layers on elements of filmmaking that audiences may not even consider, like lighting. Visitors can see the lengths to which animators went to get light just right underwater for “Finding Nemo” and “Finding Dory,” the challenges of capturing the way light reflects off of shiny surface for the “Cars” trilogy, and the emotional lifting lighting choices can do in “Up.” As with every temporary exhibit, museum educators worked hard to add a touch of the museum’s style and expertise to the proceedings.

This includes an exhibit guide specifically created for young children, with highlights that will appeal to

them, and a sound cart where visitors can get a taste of how sound effects are made, explained Keelin MacCarthy, one of the program specialists with the museum.

“Setting up these temporary exhibits and adding our own elements is something we take very seriously and do very well,” added Jennifer Moss Logan, content specialist at the museum. “We try to pinpoint what will be meaningful and special to our guests and add that.”

If you’ve been moved by the stories Pixar brings to the screen and want to know how they do it, or want to get a taste of the careers available to those who study STEM fields, there is truly something everyone can learn at the exhibit.

“The exhibit expands everyone’s horizons, especially kids who will be coming out of high school and college having studied science, technology, engineering and math,” said Koronowicz. “I wish I knew this stuff was available when I was in school.”

SPORTS STUDENT-ATHLETE STUDENT ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT

Putting speed into play

Chris Cornn is fast on his feet and canny on positioning

I

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

C

hris Cornn has learned this season to take advantage of his running speed on the soccer

pitch.

Cornn, a senior captain and top scorer on the Ponderosa soccer team, has used his speed and hard work to develop into one of the top scorers in the Continental League by finishing on scoring chances this season.

He was involved in 19 of Ponderosa’s 27 goals through the first 11 games this season.

“I do rely on my speed because of what my (Colorado Rapids) club coach taught me, to embrace my speed and how to use that more than just straight-up running,” said Cornn. “It’s really all about positioning because I just can’t stand there for a whole 90 minutes.

“Growing during the club season really helped me a lot. I got a lot of finishing reputation. It feels great to score a goal, probably the best feeling.”

Have a suggestion for whom to feature in Student-Athlete Spotlight?

Email Jim Benton at

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Q&A with Cornn What’s your favorite pre-game meal?

Chick-fil-A spicy chicken deluxe sandwich meal with a Dr Pepper.

Who is your favorite athlete and why?

Lionel Messi. He’s considered to be the greatest soccer player of all time and I look up to him.

What or who motivates you most to excel in sports?

My mom (Charlene) always wants me to work

In the long run, talent rises to top

hard. She always comes to our games and cheers us on, no matter what.

What would be a perfect performance in your sport?

At least a goal and assist.

What is your favorite class in school and why?

Physical education. I just like to be athletic.

What do you like to do away from sports and school?

Mostly play video games and sometimes I go to the

weight room and just lift.

What are your plans after high school?

I want to go to a four-year college and major in sports science. Yeah, I’d love to play soccer.

What are your pre-game rituals?

I put my right sock on, then my left sock, then my shin guards and my shoes.

Then I put water on my cleats. I don’t know why. It is just a ritual.

What is your favorite movie?

“Avengers: Endgame.”

The way they do the movie is really nice.

How tough are a penalty kicks for the shooter?

They are really tough because it is a 50-50 chance.

The goalkeeper has to dive the right way and you have to place it right.

There is a lot of pressure.

It seems really easy from about eighth yards out but sometimes it is a little difficult.

COACH’S TAKE: ‘He’s matured a lot in the last year. So he’s been kind of a difference for us along with our goalie Cameron Klein.

He’s probably the fastest player I’ve ever coached. He’s got great soccer skills. This year around the goal he is finishing.’

Jim Engels, Ponderosa boys soccer coach

Key stats | In 11 games played, Cornn had 11 goals and nine assists to lead the Continental League in points and was tied for the lead in goal scoring.

admire cross country runners, because frankly, it doesn’t look like much fun.

The better runners finish and hardly look out of breath, while I have to pause after running or jogging to the car.

All of the state’s best runners will be competing at the state cross country meet on Oct. 26 at the Norris Penrose Events Center in Colorado Springs.

In Class 5A, all eyes will be on Valor Christian senior Cole Sprout. He is the defending champion, who also won the 4A state title in 2017.

OVERTIME Sprout won the Region 2 qualifying meet on Oct. 17 with a time of 15:46.80.

Other 5A boys contenders are junior Parker Wolfe of Cherry Creek, Wesley Beckham of Rock Jim Benton Canyon, several Dakota Ridge runners, Arapahoe’s John Forbes and Kevin Conlon of Fort Collins.

Defending champion Dakota Ridge appears to be the team to beat, but Mountain Vista, Valor and Fort Collins will be the challengers.

Cherry Creek’s Riley Stewart, the Region 1 champ, heads the list of leading 5A girls runners. The sophomore ran a 17:49.60 to capture the qualifying meet and has a top time this season of 17:05.00 on Oct. 5 at the Steve Lohman Invitational.

Defending champion senior Jenna Fitzsimmons, of Mountain Vista, will be in the title picture along with Taylor Whitfield and Brooke Wilson of Valor Christian, Aidyn Woodall of Douglas County and Ava Escorcia of Arapahoe.

Cherry Creek, runner-up to defending champion Mountain Vista last season, will be among the girls 5A team title contenders, along with Cherokee Trail, Pine Creek and Valor.

Feeling better It seems like the Rock Canyon and Highlands Ranch football teams, which had to deal with players going down with hand, foot and mouth disease, are doing better with no new cases reported.

HFMD is common in children under age 10. According to the Mayo Clinic, it is caused by the coxsackievirus and is passed around mostly by contact. There is no treatment and those with it are contagious for about a week. Symptoms include fever, poor appetite, sore throat, small sores and a rash.

“It is an ugly-sounding virus, but it’s like a cold and just has to run its course,” said Rock Canyon Athletic Director Tom Brieske. “We have had no new cases. We feel like we are in pretty good shape. We have a school of 2,300 students and only 15 students got HFMD. We had 11 or 12 confirmed football players and no players from any other team were sick. We felt like we contained it pretty well.”

Rock Canyon disinfected facilities and equipment. The Douglas County School District came in to deep clean and sanitize door handles, water fountains and other areas students commonly touch.

Highlands Ranch’s team is healthy now after playing Rock Canyon on Oct. 4 .

“We had four cases all stemming from our Rock Canyon game,” said coach TJ Rubley. “Nobody has gotten sick since and we think we are through the window now.”
