Pedestrian bridge to cross C-470 Benefits will extend to motorists, cyclists

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com A new pedestrian bridge to be constructed on the west side of Quebec Street over C-470 is in the final stages of design, and is expected to be complete in the fall of 2014.

The walkway, which will be built in a similar fashion to the bridge that runs along the east side of Quebec over the highway, is being funded in part by federal grant money. The project, with the help of the Denver Regional Council of Governments, will receive $500,000 in federal funding, while Douglas County will pick up the remainder of the tab — estimated to be in the ballpark of an additional $600,000.

The project is expected to go out to bid in late December or early January.

“Once it gets underway, a lot of the work will occur off site, including the building

of all of the girders,” said Art Griffith, the county’s capital improvements projects manager.

“After on-site construction begins, all of the major work will occur at night, and we will take traffic up the ramp and onto the on-ramps, keeping traffic flowing.”

The bridge, being built along the northern border between Lone Tree and Highlands Ranch, will provide benefits for drivers as well as cyclists and pedestrians in the area.

“When someone pushes that button to cross the C-470 Trail across Yosemite, for example, it can take 15 minutes before the signals sync back up,” Griffith said.

“So, in addition to making the free flow on the trails a lot safer, there is an added benefit to the driving public as it allows the timing of the signals to stay in sync and limits congestion, especially during high-traffic times like the weekends and holidays.”

Douglas County commissioners unanimously approved the allocation of funds for the pedestrian bridge at their Aug. 27 business meeting.

The Douglas County commissioners approved a second pedestrian bridge at C-470 and Quebec Street. The bridge, expected to be constructed in 2014, will be on the west side of Quebec, connecting Lodo’s to Le Peep. The design will be similar to the one on the east side, except there will be no adjoining bridge for vehicles. Photo by Ryan Boldrey

Cabela’s could boost local economy Study funded by county sees $25 million in impact

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Lone Tree’s new Cabela’s will add an estimated $679,000 in annual sales taxes to the city, and a Douglas County-funded study shows the store will impact the local economy to the tune of about $24 million a year.

Business-to-business transactions, store employee spending, money spent locally by shoppers traveling to the store and other exchanges will circulate more money throughout the area, according to a Cabela’s economic impact analysis written for Douglas County by Development Research Partners.

Douglas County paid the company for the analysis to get a better feel for the 110,000-square-foot Lone Tree store’s effect.

The store at Interstate 25 and RidgeGate Parkway opened Aug. 15, and its performance so far is exceeding the company’s

expectations. That could mean the study’s projections, which Development Research Partners president Patty Silverstein said are conservative, are low.

Though Cabela’s officials won’t talk specific dollar amounts, spokesman Nathan Borowski said they’re happy in Lone Tree.

“Early signs point to the fact it will be a great location for us,” he said. On opening day, “we were blown away by the support we received from our community and loyal customers. It’s continued ever since the doors opened.”

The 2012 study estimates not only the store’s retail sales, but the balance remaining after Cabela’s pays for its inventory.

Only that retailer’s margin, estimated at $16 million, “generates additional economic benefits throughout the region,” according to the report.

The study considers not only what the corporation may spend locally on items like landscaping, office supplies and other products the company may not directly supply, but employees communitywide — hairdressers, grocery store clerks, waiters and others — who will benefit from money Cabela’s employees will spend in the area.

According to the study, local spending

by Cabela’s and its employees will support the salaries of 43 employees working in other industries throughout the community.

“Bottom line, the existence of Cabela’s in Douglas County supports the employment of 193 people — 150 direct plus 43 additional workers supported by that spending,” Silverstein said. “Some of those people … maybe they own the restaurant some of those employees are spending their money at. Maybe they are working for the bank that these people pay their rent and mortgage payments to. The whole idea is that it does really interconnect all throughout the economic system.”

Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning said retailers like Cabela’s are vital in a city that has no municipal property taxes.

“A lot of the amenities that Lone Tree benefits from are all based on the fact we have such tremendous retail sales,” he said. “It’s a well-kept city; we have the brick fencing, the medians, the arts center Cabela’s continues on Page 15

In a continued effort to keep the noise level down for people living and working in the flight path of Centennial Airport, the Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority is in the process of installing noise monitors in Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

The authority began site selection in 2009, selecting six locations in each county.

The airport has already put up five monitors, all of which are solar, two on airport property, one in Cherry Creek State Park, and one each in Lone Tree and Castle Rock.

Display puts hunger in the picture The 22 8-by-10-inch photographs are simply set in a display case in the airy lobby of the Denver Public Library’s central branch. On an early Saturday afternoon, men and women, old and young, stroll by on the marble floors. A few glance at the images — portrayals of lives lived with hunger — but so far today no one stops.

Most never see the stories just beyond the glass, much the way many never see the hunger hidden among us every day.

“It’s something I hear a lot since I’ve been talking to people about poverty — `You’re not the average homeless person; you’re not the average hungry person,’” says Caroline Pooler, 53, who came to know hunger and homelessness after losing her job two years ago. Three of the photographs in the case are hers. “There really is no average hungry or homeless person. They can be someone who’s working full-time and they’re not going to get lunch that day because they have to give lunch to their kids.”

Caroline and nine other women are participating in Hunger Through My Lens, an innovative project by the advocacy organization Hunger Free Colorado that gave them digital cameras to document how they see a world without consistent and healthy sustenance.

The goal is simple, project manager Lauren Flax says: Give the experts, those who know what it’s like to be hungry, a platform to voice their opinions and help

shape answers to what should be a solvable issue.

“We really believe there is a solution to ending hunger,” Flax says. “Just as there are many solutions, there needs to be multiple people coming up with them. Who better than the hungry?”

The women are a diverse group. They are Latino, African-American and white, ranging in age from 22 to late 60s. They are mothers and grandmothers in Jefferson and Adams counties, Denver and Aurora.

Some have lived in systemic poverty since they were children. Some live an “average, normal, middle-class life but they go to bed hungry every night, hiding it even from their church groups,” Flax says. Some have made bad choices, either through lack of education, access to resources or circumstances.

But all share the common denominator of having experienced the isolating and desperate hunger that comes when you don’t know how or when you’ll have your

next meal. Through their photographs, they hope to provide a glimpse for others — perhaps a dawning understanding — into that world.

“It’s a way to put faces to statistics,” Flax says. “It’s easy to forget a number. It’s a lot harder to forget a face or a story.”

First, the statistics, compiled from various federal and state reports: • One in six Americans in the U.S., and nearly one in four children, are foodinsecure.

• More than 25 percent of working families in Colorado don’t have enough food to meet basic needs.

• An estimated 270,000 children in Colorado, or 22 percent of all children, live in food-insecure households.

• Colorado has the fastest-growing rate of childhood poverty in the country.

The numbers are astonishing.

And here are Caroline’s stories, told in her photographs, which she titled: • “Reverse Disparity,” a photograph of two banana clumps. One is full, fresh and smooth yellow, selling for 59 cents a pound in a grocery store in an affluent neighborhood. The other is in a smaller, privately owned grocery 30 blocks away in a neighborhood considered a “food desert” because it has no large supermarkets offering healthy options within a mile. These three bananas are slightly bruised, for sale at 89 cents a pound.

“I’m certainly not faulting that grocer,” Caroline says. “We need that grocer in that area.” But lower quality food for higher prices is the reality.

• “Farming for Food Sustenance for the Heart.” A close-up of an orange nasturtium, taken in an urban garden in which Caroline was working.

“I really did find that while I was on my hands and knees trying to feed myself, people in suits and briefcases were looking in and wishing that was them. I am the lucky one in so many ways,” she says, “pulling my food from the ground.”

• “Ancestral Meals.” A photo of a Cambodian family’s ceremonial meal, spread out in bowls and prepared in honor of ancestors for a holiday.

“It’s an inside look at the diversity of the culture here in Denver and Colorado and how those cultural food needs must be met as well,” Caroline says.

Although Caroline began struggling when she lost her job working in a medical research office, she initially resisted applying for food stamps, turning instead to urban gardening as a way to feed herself.

She took the bottle cap- and cigarettestrewn lot of a friend and began tilling and planting the soil until it flowered into

an organic garden in which she harvests tomatoes for a nearby bodega, and lettuce, squash, eggplants and green beans for herself. A nonprofit restaurant, which operates on donations, uses her produce to cook her lunch.

Local food banks also helped. But last November, one turned her and others away when it ran out of food. The memory still brings tears. “I just walked down the street and cried, more so for the thought of the moms that were turned away.”

Shortly after that, she applied for food stamps. And “it has been a blessing to go to the grocery store and really meet my nutritional needs.”

An artist also, she considers her work with Hunger Free Colorado among her most important. The organization offers training on how to advocate for hunger issues before local governments and agencies to those who, like Caroline, want their voices to be heard and want to make a lasting difference for others in their shoes.

In October, Caroline starts a school program she hopes will lead to a job that can provide her with the stability to provide not only for herself, but also for her 24-year-old son, who despite his job still finds himself hungry at times.

“I would like to buy groceries every two weeks and take them over to his house,” she says — just the way she used to.

Back at the exhibit at the library, a woman glances at the photographs as she walks by. She slows down, and backtracks for a closer look.

The photo of a hand-scrawled sign — “Will Work 4 Food” - caught her attention.

“It just made me want to look,” Susan Wolinsky, 71, a retired lawyer, says. “I just think it’s pretty sad that in this country people don’t have enough to eat … People who have full stomachs have a better chance of being productive citizens and of helping others.”

She was surprised to find out she was one of only two passersby in an hour who had studied the exhibit, which will travel to four Adams County libraries, the 16th Street Mall in Denver and Hunger Free Colorado’s Oct. 1 Hunger Summit.

“It’s too bad,” Wolinsky says, “that some of the photographs aren’t on billboards towering over the city so that people have no choice but to look at them.”

Indeed. That would put big faces on the big numbers that are hunger in Colorado.

Sheriff’s office gets new bomb robot Federal grant pays for Dragon Runner

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office recently upgraded its resources with the addition of a Dragon Runner bomb robot.

The robot, pack and remote included, weighs just 75 pounds, much smaller than its 500-pound predecessor, allowing it to get into harder-to-reach places as it keeps officers out of harm’s way while the bomb squad is deployed.

Purchased for $110,397, the robot — designed by the Marine Corps for use in Afghanistan and Iraq — was fully funded by a grant from the Department of Homeland Security.

The appropriation of the grant money was approved by the county commissioners July 30 and the robot arrived in Castle Rock in early August.

So far, officers have been thrilled at its capabilities.

“It’s lightweight and portable and hooks right on the backpack,” said Lt. Tommy Barrella. “We

needed a small platform robot that we could deploy quickly. We can carry it with us into a school or neighborhood. You can’t do that with the big robot.”

The big robot, which the department is keeping to conduct heavier, more time-consuming work, is used mainly for bomb disposal, Barrella said. However, it is clumsy and can’t climb steep terrain or stairs, and if something breaks on it, it takes at least a half a day just to take the robot apart.

The new robot requires just five minutes to take apart, but perhaps more importantly in a SWAT situation, can approach a house within minutes while the officers keep their distance and can be stationed in their command van.

“It goes over everything that is put in its way,” Barrella said. “It’s a good set of eyes for us, and instead of climbing a hill with the van and entering plain sight with the big robot, this one can climb the hill itself or in a backpack with an officer.”

With the ability to operate remotely from up to a mile away, the robot transmits images back to its operators on a display screen located on the remote and can detect motion from up to 30 feet away.

It also has the ability to detect and disrupt suspicious devices or disable them with wire cutters.

“The ultimate (purpose) is taking the human element out of a dangerous situation,” Barrella said, adding that he expects the county to use it on 50 to 75 calls a year.

Because the county obtained the robot through a federal grant, it must be shared with neighbor-

Castle View students help students Apprentice program idea gets attention of school district

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Less than 1 percent of Douglas County students drop out of school each year, but six Castle View High School students aim to drop that figure lower still.

They’ve proposed an apprenticeship program designed to keep at-risk students in high school while they learn a trade.

Douglas County School District officials are working with them to make that idea a reality.

The program was inspired by the Center for Civic Education’s Project Citizen, which urges middle and high school students to learn about public policymaking through projects. Its focus on empathy and critical thinking dovetailed with the goals of a sophomore-level class taught by Michael Schneider and Christina Classen at the Castle Rock school.

Six of those students, now juniors, saw a need among their peers.

“We came up with the idea of helping students that are struggling in school find a way to have success in life,” student Madeline Morgan said. “These are our fellow classmates; we definitely care about them.”

From left, Castle View High School students Madeline Morgan, Kaden Russell, Greg Connelly, Alan Kopp and Lane Speas present their idea to the Douglas County School Board during an August meeting. Courtesy photo For at-risk students, success doesn’t necessarily entail post-secondary education.

“Just because Douglas County is a prestigious school district, college is not really for everyone,” student Gregory Connelly said.

“They feel like to have to make their own opportunities and find help themselves,” junior Lane Steas said. “It’s not offered to them, like it would be to other students.”

“This is not exactly helping them be on a college track, but helping them to succeed even without a college degree,” Morgan agreed. “You definitely still can be a helpful member of society without having a degree.”

The students presented their idea at the spring 2013 Colorado Project Citizen contest at the Colorado Capitol, earning a

second place. At the invitation of Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen, they repeated that presentation to the DCSD cabinet.

Two of the district’s top officials, director of operations and maintenance Bo Bacon and chief operations officer Bill Moffitt, now are working with the student team, hoping to begin implementing the program with the 2013-14 academic year.

While students hope to rally businesses from throughout the county to offer apprenticeships, potential apprentices may not have to look far. DCSD’s own employees may take them under their wings.

“Our operations and maintenance department consists of professionals that are electricians, heating and cooling (specialists), plumbers,” Bacon said. “They are willing to take on this responsibility.”

The Castle View effort may serve as a pilot for a future districtwide apprentice program.

Schneider and Classen are proud of and amazed by the students and their project, particularly since the class that sparked the idea has long since ended.

“I think that’s what really makes these kids special,” he said. “No longer are they doing something for the class. They’re doing something in all truth for somebody else, because it’s something they found they had a passion for.”

“We want kids to find their passion, to think bigger than themselves,” Classen said.

“I am so incredibly proud of these kids. This is what makes teaching worthwhile.”

School NoteS Candidate forum planned

The Douglas County School District Accountability Committee will host a school board candidate forum from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Sept. 12 at Douglas County High School. The evening will begin with introductions from all candidates for the November 2013 election, followed by questions from former Parker Mayor David

Work is underway on a $1.2 million project to replace the concrete slabs on the Interstate 25 bridges at Surrey Ridge Road and Happy Canyon Creek Road, as well as minor bridge work on I-25 at RidgeGate.

The work, which began in late August, is expected to last through early to mid-November. During construction, both northbound and southbound I-25 from RidgeGate Parkway to Castle Pines Parkway will be reduced to three lanes 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to accommodate the work.

“Our goal is to minimize the inconve-

nience of construction to the traveling public ... to make it easier to drive through the construction zone,” said Colorado Department of Transportation project engineer Dole Grebenik, referring to a change in plans that originally called for an increased number of lanes being closed in each direction. During construction, traffic will be realigned to accommodate four phases of work, with three lanes in each direction available at all times. Drivers can also expect travel speeds reduced to 55 mph through the construction zone.

The concrete slab replacement will eliminate bumps and improve the smoothness of the roadway. According to a news release issued by Douglas County, by spending now for maintenance, higher costs can be avoided in the future both for bridge replacement and wear and tear on vehicles.

Students’ book aims to help soothe souls

Aurora, Newtown n, to said. shootings inspire Parker This children’s project

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com In the wake of the July 2012 Aurora theater and December 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary mass shootings, students at Parker’s Challenge to Excellence Charter School experienced a wave of emotions.

“We were all just really depressed,” said seventh-grader Ayla Blanton.

“Then we were angry because we couldn’t believe somebody would do such a horrible thing, that they would destroy so many lives.”

The then-sixth-grade students channeled those feelings into something tangible, the creation of a book filled with positive messages. “Colorado: A New Perspective” includes messages of hope, photographs and drawings from the members of Glenn Thompson’s 2012-13 sixth grade class. The 71-page book includes links and suggestions for inspirational and upbeat videos, movies, books and songs.

“We were trying to counteract those horrible acts by choosing to do something and be positive,” Thompson said. “We’re very happy with the finished product, and

also with the idea our thoughts and actions could hopefully give some specific help to people that need it.”

Parent Tracey Ramirez suggested the idea of a project after the Aurora theater shootings. The Newtown tragedy reaffirmed the need for such a book.

“We felt really bad for the people involved in those incidents,” student Kenna True said. “We just wanted to make them happy. We were trying to help make it better.”

The book’s intended reach goes far beyond the two communities.

“We also wrote the book for anybody that was down, to let them know they’re loved,” True said.

“To put a smile on the face of anybody going through a hard time,” added student Aasal Rae. “We tried to let them know they can be happy again,” Blanton said.

The ultimate goal is to send copies of the book to the families of victims in both Aurora and Newtown, Conn. The hopedfor money to cover the costs of publication and send the books will come from book sales.

“Colorado: A New Perspective” is a print-on-demand publication, which means it is not carried in stores but is printed upon order and mailed directly to the customer. It is available for about $15 plus shipping through Bookcrafters.net and Barnes and Noble.

WackyW bike ride slated for Sunday Event held at middle school will include four courses Staff report The third annual WackyW bike ride is Sept. 8. The one-day event is a fundraiser for Douglas County schools, and a familyfriendly celebration of health and wellness.

CRIME REPORTS Copper thefts on rise

Between Aug. 19 and 22, Douglas County sheriff’s deputies responded to four calls about crimes by copper thieves around the county, both at construction sites as well as residences.

On Aug. 19, two large copper valves, each with seven feet of copper pipe and brass nipples, valued at $8,300, were removed from a construction site in the 1700 block of Shea Center Drive in Highlands Ranch.

No other damage was discovered at the site. More copper was removed from a site on this same block three days later.

On Aug. 19, deputies responded to $2,000 worth of drywall damage in a home under construction in the 7200 block of North Delbert Road in Parker. There was copper sticking out from where the drywall had been damaged, but it was not taken. The victim believes it was either too difficult to remove or the suspects were interrupted and fled.

On Aug. 21, a call came in from a residence in the Acres Green/Aires Court area, in which irrigation equipment made of copper had been stolen.

This is the third call in that area in the past few weeks.

Don’t let old chewing gum stick it to you I would venture to guess that at one time or another, all of us have either stepped on a piece of gum, or if we haven’t been so fortunate yet, will certainly step on a piece at some point in our lives.

You know the kind I am talking about, right?

It’s a hot day, someone has carelessly spit out a piece of chewing gum, the heat of the sidewalk or asphalt has baked it into a soft or even liquid-like substance, and then we are blessed enough to step right on it.

We immediately know when it happens, too. We feel it, we look down at the strands that are partially stuck to our shoe and yet still connected to the ground behind us.

We let out a sigh as we crinkle our nose, scowl at the mess, and maybe even utter a four-letter word or two.

How about the other things that are keeping our feet stuck in one spot and that make us snarl with angst as they slow us down on what we really and truly want

to pursue? What kind of chewing gum is holding us back, holding you back? Is it a lack of a certain skill or knowledge? Is there a tainted experience or memory that has jaded our hope and inspiration for following through on our goals and dreams?

What is causing us to look back or look down at the lack of achievement or missed opportunities?

“They’re kind of hurting with some of the players that are injured and out with other issues, but I think we’ve got a really great chance of at least making the playoffs and possibly going to the Super Bowl.”

— Charlie O’Neal, Denver

“With that whole (Von) Miller thing going on, he’s not going to be there half of the season. They have a good chance, but I don’t think they’re going to blow it out of the water.”

— Michelle Campbell, Denver

“I don’t know anything about football, but I think they’ve got a 50 percent chance. That’s based on nothing. ...

No, I don’t think they’re going to go to the Super Bowl.”

— Julie Schmidt, Colorado Springs

“With Peyton Manning and the receiving corps they have, I think they’re going to have a great chance of ....

Without Von Miller for the first six games, it’s going to be tough ....”

— Joel Monroe, Lakewood

A way to understand Douglas school board Citizens of Douglas County are confused about the present-day school board’s philosophy. To grasp the way this board makes decisions, we must go back to the theory of Milton Friedman, who was the economic adviser to President Ronald Reagan.

Friedman was pure capitalist and did not like public institutions. For example, he believed in privatizing public lands like Yosemite, Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain National Park and even Central Park in New York City. Politically speaking, Friedman was quite successful in getting rid of the draft and turning the military into a volunteer force.

It is critical to note that Friedman was quite correct about capitalism being the best way to organize production because it is, without doubt, the most efficient and effective way to manage work and profit in a society. Key ideas are to privatize, lessen government’s power, and avoid regulation wherever possible.

In our case, the school board believes that economic model is the way to run a school system. This means that teachers

whose mouth germs are under our feet, but it’s also about how we are going to clean that mess up.

Here is the better question, “How will we clean up the mess under our feet that is holding us back from everything that we want to be, do, or have?” What has to be untangled and scraped away so that we are free to increase our stride and move with the purpose and passion we once enjoyed?

The tricky thing is that when we step on a piece of liquefied gum we immediately know it, but when we are stuck in other areas of our lives we either choose to ignore it or we just do not recognize what is keeping us on the periphery of moving up or ahead or maybe even greatness.

A good first step is to list all of the things that we want to have in our lives or give of ourselves.

Then next to each one list all the potential barriers, all the possible pieces of chewing gum that could take us away from our mission. Are they real-world barriers

Mac and cheese: a six-part analysis Whenever something goes haywire in the Middle East, I write a column about food. In other words, about every two weeks. It takes my mind away from it for at least a couple of hours.

“Imported from your childhood” is what it says on a box of Kraft macaroni and cheese. When I was in college I probably ate five boxes of it every week. Now? Practically never. But I still eat a lot of macaroni and cheese, mostly because of Jennifer.

On your behalf, I decided to do some macaroni and cheese research. It can be one of our favorite, simple meals. But not always.

I have no agility in the kitchen, and besides, the sublime convenience of a microwaveable container would keep me from assembling my own version, or yours, so don’t send me any recipes.

In addition to Kraft, whose cheese powder color is very disturbing, I have sampled Michelina’s, Banquet, Stouffer’s, Lean Cuisine and Whole Foods, and here’s my report.

Kraft’s pasta is the tiniest on the market.

How the orange powder could become anything resembling a cheese sauce is one of the Three Secrets of Fatima, and I think Kraft is smart to market their product as a favorable childhood memory.

Michelina’s is absolute glop. Their marketing strategy is to claim their product is “priced better” (i.e., cheap). All I saw under the list of ingredients were unpronounce-

are no longer respected professionals; rather, they become classroom supervisors with students the equivalent of hourly workers and parents as ordinary consumers.

In the business world one does not allow non-business people to tell them how to manage, and the school board necessarily had to obliterate the teachers union that might influence salaries and the educational model. Likewise, since the society is loaded with starving artists and musicians, those programs had to be downgraded. The board hired a new

or just things and obstacles we imagine or make excuses for that allow us to focus on the stickiness and scraping instead of the cleaning up and forging ahead?

How about you, have you looked at the bottom of your own shoes lately? What do you see? Are they full of stringy attachments and forgotten dreams and visions, or have they been wiped clean and ready for the next journey and walk of your life?

And maybe, just maybe you have one shoe stuck and one shoe clean, straddling the middle waiting and wondering which one will win the battle of will.

Wherever you are in that part of your journey, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and as we scrape the gum away it will definitely be a better than good week.

able words. And good luck with removing the lid. I guess you could just leave it hanging on, but if you try to tear it off, well, you won’t be able to.

Banquet is almost as frightening. But at least you can remove the film cover.

Stouffer’s is in the ballpark. The elbow macaroni is good, and they use “100% real cheddar cheese.”

Lean Cuisine is my choice when I want to make something quickly that’s tasty.

The box says “tender macaroni in a creamy cheddar cheese sauce” and “no preservatives.” Lean Cuisine doesn’t try to market their macaroni and cheese as a nostalgia item or a thrifty alternative.

Way out in front in quality, and cost, is Whole Foods’ macaroni and cheese. I brought some home for Jennifer and me one night, and since then she has written poems about it.

A place and time for reflection

the

chns, dy fe?

This next Wednesday marks 12 years hoe since the day the Twin Towers fell and alhe Qaeda terrorists aimed their planes at the one Pentagon as well as the White House.

Having been born in the ’70s, there ur are only two events that even come close it at to comparison for me — the Challenger ape explosion and the start of the Gulf War. ter Neither of those events holds a candle to those images we all witnessed a dozen years back; most of us on television, a s couple people I know who were unfortug nately there. der I never had the opportunity to see the towers while they stood tall, beacons in the New York City skyline.

My first pilgrimage to Manhattan was just weeks ago, and along with thousands of others on an early Sunday morning, I filed into the land of what was, to see what it had become, as the foundations of the towers became a place to remember each and every life taken on that fateful morning.

Moved to silence, and soon after tears, my mind drifted to a childhood friend, one of the 22 Navy SEALs shot down by Afghan insurgents on Aug. 6, 2011; the deadliest day for American forces in the now 12-year War on Terror.

If it hadn’t been for the attacks that claimed the lives of 2,996 citizens that morning in 2001, my friend would never have been fighting on foreign soil, and the hundreds of lives that were affected and continue to be affected by his death would never have had the war and 9/11 put into perspective like they were. ng It’s that same perspective that friends angand family members of those 2,996 people you as well as the more than 5,200 American soldiers who have died since in the resultut at ing wars now experience each time they think of that morning. ow My friend, like many others, felt a call real of duty.

CEO (i.e. school superintendent) who shared the board’s philosophy — particularly vouchers, charter schools and anti-unionism. The primary consideration to this board is the bottom line. Therefore, the loss of experienced teachers who differ with this new philosophy happens to be a age 7 plus because new teachers can be hired at a lower rate. Similarly, students must pay a fare to get a ride on the school bus, charter school kids bring supplies to school like facial tissue, and art teachers must appeal to the public for materials.

There is no doubt that the businessmen board know how to run a business. In each of their private lives this capitalist model works. Capitalism does provide employment, profit, and efficiency.

I have to warn you: It’s $6.99 a pound.

An argument could be made that macaroni and cheese should be kept simple. I don’t agree. Whole Foods has taken something that is basically simple, and made it something profound.

The sauce doesn’t look like aqueous yellow Crayolas (see: Banquet). It is bananacolored, thick, sophisticated and complex.

I say this without wanting to sound like

The New York City skyline may no longer include the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers, but foundations of the two buildings have been turned into memorials commemorating all those who lost their lives in the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, including each of the flights, the Pentagon and the Twin Towers. Photo by Ryan Boldrey And as I stood there running my fingers over the names of lives lost — surrounded by a skyline once dwarfed by the towers — I began to understand that call more than ever before.

These were the people he was fighting for.

It was a similar call of duty felt by another friend of mine, Paul Palmisano, who runs an alternative school in Monument, Colo. My mind turned to him next.

A native New Yorker, Palmisano spent five days, beginning moments after the attacks, working at Ground Zero, spending his time unloading equipment and donations from barges at nearby docks and the rest in a human chain carrying debris out from the destruction.

“I just really felt it was my duty,” Palmisano said in a 2010 interview with Colorado Community Media. “That was why I was going south while everyone else becomes a sinner bound for the darkest hell or, in our case, subtle unionists influenced by the AFL-CIO. Our school board believes they are demonstrating a system that should become the model for schools throughout America and the world. They show no doubt in their faith. It does help the bottom line.

Readers will note that there is no mention of education in the above reflections, especially in regard to the best pedagogy as our world lurches forward in this digital age. When classroom instruction becomes memorization for tests, three necessary ingredients for the emerging world are lost: curious creativity and openness, a mind trained to celebrate innovation and growth, and the ability to analyze the basic underlying premises of systems.

For now, the capitalist form of education is set in Douglas County. Citizens and homeowners may question the direction, but only they can change it at the voting box.

was fleeing north. I was enraged. I’m still enraged that our country was attacked.”

And as he recalled casualties covered in soot, fleeing Ground Zero, and offering assistance to them, he also recalled an overwhelming sensation of patriotism.

“I’ve never seen that kind of patriotism before,” he said. “Besides the nightmares, that’s what I remember. I didn’t know if I had it in me until that day. Now I know I’m someone that can go in when others have to go out.”

Everyone, no matter how patriotic, at some point, should do the same. Go there, see what he saw, and see what you have

inside of you.

Because while that day may be 12 years gone, its images and impact have stayed with most all Americans ever since.

And while some of us have turned a blind eye to the Middle East, the war still rages on, and in the quietest place in all of New York, there serves a memorial of not just what happened, but that soldiers are still fighting, and lives are still being lost.

Crunch time at hand for legislators Two recall elections set in response to gun-control measures

By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com The term “the third rail of American politics” has long been associated with politicos who talk about cutting Social Security — a charged issue that could lead to severe consequences for any elected official who dares to touch it.

But soon, a couple of Democrats in Colorado could end up learning the hard way about another “third rail” issue, as two state lawmakers face recall elections over their votes on gun legislation that was passed this year.

The stakes couldn’t be higher for John Morse of Colorado Springs, who is the Senate president, and state Sen. Angela Giron of Pueblo.

And their potential ousters could have lasting ramifications in the state and across the nation.

“The message could be that it is just political poison to support any form of gun control, no matter how reasonable it may

look to people,” said Bob Loevy, a political scientist at Colorado College.

“If either is eliminated, the message is going to be: No matter how big or politically strong you are, you can be knocked out over gun issues,” Loevy said.

Morse and Giron are the first lawmakers to face a recall in Colorado.

Their district-only elections are scheduled for Sept. 10.

Both supported legislation that requires universal background checks on all gun sales in the state, and were behind a separate law that places limits on high-capacity ammunition magazines — such as the ones used in mass killings at an Aurora theater and at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Morse also sponsored a bill that would have placed liability on assault weapon owners and manufacturers whose guns are used in crimes.

However, Morse ended up killing his own legislation.

Republicans were unanimous in their opposition to the gun bills.

The gun debate stirred passions like no other issue this legislative session.

“In my seven years in office, I’ve never seen an issue have this kind of emotion,” said Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, a former House speaker.

That’s about the only area of gun legislation that McNulty and state Sen. Evie Hudak agree on.

The Westminster Democrat voted for each one of her party’s gun-control bills this session.

Her own bill, which placed stricter limits on domestic violence offenders’ access to guns, also became law.

“I received so many threatening emails, with extremely bad language used against me,” Hudak said.

“My best friend thought I should wear a bulletproof vest.”

Recall organizers initially targeted Hudak as well, but that effort failed.

McNulty Since then, Hudak says she’s been knocking on doors in Pueblo and Colorado Springs, in support of her colleagues’ efforts to thwart the “ludicrous” attempts at recall.

Hudak and state Sen. Linda Newell, DLittleton, point out that Morse is term-limited and will be out at the end of next year, regardless of what happens Sept. 10. Giron is up for re-election next year.

“If it’s just about a vote, you have elections and term limits,” Newell said.

“It’s not a wise use of taxpayer dollars.

We take about a thousand votes every single session. If you are recalled over every single vote? Oh my gosh. It would be dysfunctional.”

But McNulty believes that recalls are “a longstanding right in the state of Colorado.”

McNulty also notes that, for as much attention as the recall elections are getting, they are rare and difficult to pursue.

“I don’t think people take this lightly,” he said. “But if (elected officials) are out of step with their district, then the recall election should be there.”

Like Loevy, McNulty thinks the recalls could have a lasting impact on future guncontrol efforts.

“I think it certainly does send a message to folks who push policies that infringe on law-abiding citizens’ ability to hold firearms, that you will need to think twice,” McNulty said.

Newell disagrees.

“I’m not concerned about the policy issues at all,” she said.

“The recalls send a message of fringe, special-interest groups being obtrusive.”

Regardless of what happens, a precedent may already be set.

“People are going to realize that there is this other way of punishing politicians over doing something they don’t like,” Loevy said.

Castle Rock to get Tractor Supply

By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com Tennessee-based Tractor Supply Co., which has more than 1,200 stores in 46 states, picked Castle Rock for its first Colorado store, and in early August began grading the five-acre site for a store of about 22,000 square feet.

“It’s exciting to be moving dirt and getting under construction in Castle Rock,” said Ray Hix, founder of Hix Snedeker Companies.

The Alabama firm owns the property, is developing the site, and then will lease the space to Tractor Supply Co. There won’t be any tractors, however.

Tractor Supply Co., which started in the 1930s as a mail-order tractor-parts business in Chicago, has since phased out its tractor supply, Hix said.

“They sell all the stuff that goes with the lifestyle … of a hobby farmer,” he said.

Hix said the site at 959 Plum Creek Blvd. is great, across the street from the Douglas County Fairgrounds, which is a landmark

easy to describe to people. And the type of customer that needs what Tractor Supply sells is “well-represented in the area.”

“We thought this would be a good market to have the store,” said Hix, who has developed Tractor Supply Co. stores across the country.

Hix said animal feed is probably the store’s top product as well as “various things for small farms.”

“It has a little bit of everything,” Hix said.

The site, which is in the southwest corner of the intersection of Plum Creek Boulevard and Plum Creek Parkway, is also just north of Daniel C. Oakes High School. He said the lot will be fenced and screened.

Hix said Tractor Supply, which is typically the second-best-performing stock on NASDAQ, second only to Apple, is a wellrun, conservative company that caters to customers’ needs.

“Life is pretty simple: Say what you’re going to do and exceed expectations,” he said.

Construction time for this store, which will employ about 20 people, will take about six months, it’s estimated.

Tractor Supply Co., which has stores in 46 states, has picked Castle Rock for its first store in Colorado. Grading began in August on the five-acre site located just north of Daniel C. Oakes High School, which is pictured in the background.

Weaver is representing the dozen or so unnamed investors as he presents the plan to elected officials in Douglas County to secure letters of support. He spoke to Parker Town Council during a study session Aug. 26.

“The first people you want to get on board are the government bodies,” Weaver said, before noting that landowners who would be affected by potential development have not yet been contacted.

The Stroh Road alignment was previously approved by Douglas County and the Army Corps of Engineers, but an updated environmental impact study would be required.

Youngsters have adventure on the brain Outdoor fest gets kids

t on into new activities eaver who

revid the It’s a way for kids to experience dated something new. e reThe Outdoor Adventure Fest, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 7, was created to further The Wildlife Experience’s mission of inspiring respect for wildlife and the outdoors through adventure and education. Introduced last year as the Big Bash, a celebration to mark the museum’s 10th anniversary, the Outdoor Adventure Fest has been renamed and grown to even bigger proportions in 2013.

“It’s not just wildlife and the outdoors,” said Christopher Goetz, events and promotions coordinator for The Wildlife Experience. “It’s getting people out to do things.”

That especially goes for children, whom statistics show are spending less time playing outside than ever.

The Outdoor Adventure Fest is loaded with activities, from a backyard bass casting game to spin art to birdhouse building. Visitors will also become enthralled with dog training demonstrations, archery classes, whitewater rafting discussions and mixed martial arts seminars.

And perhaps the most enticing aspect — at least to penny-wise parents — is the low cost. Admission to the festival is $1 and includes access to the museum and all of its exhibits, as well

More than 3,000 people attended the Outdoor Adventure Fest at The Wildlife Experience last year. The event, set for Sept. 7, focuses on hands-on experiences and adventure learning. Courtesy photo as the Extreme Screen theater.

“For people who have never stopped by, this is their chance to try it out,” Goetz said. “We believe these folks will come back and sign up for memberships.”

Other “adventure activities,” like the zip line, bungee jump, climbing wall and hamster balls, require two to five tickets.

The $1 tickets can also be used to purchase kettle corn, barbecue, cotton candy and other food.

The fest is meant, in part, to promote The Wildlife Experience’s fall lineup of classes and excursions.

There is already tremendous inter-

est in fly fishing and ice fishing classes, and plans are being finalized for snowshoeing, hiking and camping trips, including an overnight stay at Castlewood Canyon State Park near Franktown.

The Wildlife Experience partnered with like-minded organizations with similar philanthropic missions. Westminster’s Butterfly Pavilion was invited to teach people about the gentle insects, and the Wolf Sanctuary from LaPorte will talk about the dangers facing some of North America’s most elusive creatures.

Feds won’t block Colorado pot rules Justice Department memo clarifies stance

By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com The federal government finally provided clarity on Colorado’s marijuana laws on Aug. 29, with the Department of Justice issuing guidance saying that prosecutors will not seek to block recreational pot use and sales here — so long as the newly created industry abides by state regulations.

However, the memo does spell out priority cases involving serious marijuana-related offenses that federal prosecutors will continue to investigate, regardless of state laws. And it maintains that possession, cultivation and distribution of the drug will remain a federal crime.

Still, the memo makes it clear that feder-

and newer amenities like the (Cook Creek) pool and tennis courts. People love those things, but to have those things, you have to have a tax base.

stature to a telephone pole, on public land along Fifth Street in Parker’s Grandview’s Estates, the airport authority now has clearance for all 12 monitors, the last of which will be installed this September.

“It will give us the capability to measure the actual noise of aircraft departing from and arriving at the airport,” said Michael Fronapfel, deputy director of planning and development with Centennial Airport.

“Having a noise system is not necessarily a requirement; however it’s one of the things the FAA is willing to fund to assist airports with addressing some of the noise impacts on the community.”

Fronapfel said the sites were selected to give a wide representation of flight paths into the airport as planes head over local communities, in addition in areas where the airport has received complaints of too

al prosecutors won’t be beating down doors of most recreational pot users in Colorado any time soon.

The clarity provided by Attorney General Eric Holder’s office has been a long-timecoming for many around the state, who have sought guidance from the feds ever since Colorado voters passed Amendment 64 — the ballot measure that legalized recreational pot use and sales — last year.

“This is a good thing,” said state Sen. Cheri Jahn, D-Wheat Ridge.

Jahn played an instrumental role in crafting regulations associated with Amendment 64 during this year’s legislative session.

“It’s not a matter of this being something that was statuatorial,” she said. “This was citizen-driven and put into the (state) Constitution. How do you not respect that?”

The AG’s Office memo reiterates that “the federal government has traditionally relied on states and local law enforcement

agencies to address marijuana activity through enforcement of their own narcotics laws.”

The memo also says that the federal government has left “lower-level or localized (marijuana) activity to state and local authorities (to deal with).”

But the guidance from the Justice Department makes it clear that federal prosecutors will continue to make marijuana enforcement determinations, depending on the seriousness of the case.

The department laid out eight “enforcement priorities” where the feds will continue to devote resources, “regardless of state law.”

They include cases where drug money goes to gangs or cartels and cases involving drug trafficking. The feds also make it clear that they do not want marijuana distributed to minors.

The guidance memo says it’s up to states that legalize the drug to ensure there are

strong enforcement laws.

“The Department’s guidance in this memorandum rests on its expectation that states and local governments that have enacted laws authorizing marijuana-related conduct will implement strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems that will address the threat those state laws could pose to public safety, public health and other law enforcement interests.”

Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, who was the chairman of the legislative select committee that drafted Amendment 64 legislation this year, said that’s exactly what the Legislature accomplished this session.

“We drafted the most robust marijuana regulations in the country because public safety is our top priority,” Pabon said through a statement. “The feds’ action validates all our hard work to protect public safety, comply with the will of the people of Colorado and keep marijuana out of the hands of kids and criminals.”

comes, things like (Charles) Schwab, Time Warner and the hospital. You want the city to be comprehensive. You want it to be well distributed. I think when you look at Lone Tree, that’s true.”

The city offered Cabela’s a $7.2 million incentive in the form of infrastructure improvements.

Cabela’s hired about 200 employees at its Lone Tree store, a mix of full-time, parttime and seasonal workers. Silverstein’s analysis is based on a conservative estimate of 150 employees.

much noise in the past.

“This study allows us to be able to go back to the FAA and say if a particular route is problematic for us,” Fronapfel said. “It’s good to have a historical picture of where we are making improvements or if we are going in the wrong direction.”

In addition to the Grandview Estates noise monitor, the remaining seven locations where monitors will be installed include the Meridian area, Surrey Ridge and at E-470 and Parker Road in Douglas County, as well as Greenwood Village, Aurora’s Sagebrush Park and Hunter’s Hill in Centennial in Arapahoe County. With the exception of a solar install in Surrey Ridge, the others will all be electric.

The expected lifespan of each monitor is 20 years, Fronapfel said, adding that the airport spent just $75,000 on the entire project, with the remaining $1.5 million coming from a Federal Aviation Administration grant.

No local tax dollars are being spent on the project.

Foundation builds ramp for Ranch teen Organization helps boy who battles rare syndrome

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com For as long as he has been alive, Highlands Ranch 14-year-old Adam Encrapera has been challenged by Alstrom syndrome, a disorder that affects every organ in his body with the exception of his brain.

One of just 500 people in the world diagnosed with the disorder, Adam has gone through numerous battles in his lifetime.

He was declared legally blind at a young age and lost all his hearing by age 9. He has struggled with kidney issues, heart complications and diabetes. But ask his mother, Susan Encrapera, and she will tell you that “intellectually, he’s pretty normal,” and per the physical challenges? “He rolls with the punches.”

Being confined to a wheelchair for the past 2½ years has made life all the more difficult for Adam, who in that time frame has had multiple back surgeries and been forced to move his bedroom from upstairs to the family’s formal living room.

‘It’s rewarding to see the quality of life eased from start to finish.’

Beth Forbes, foundation executive director Aside from having to set aside physical activities such as adaptive baseball, parasailing, horse riding and adaptive ice hockey, Adam was subjected to a type of sleep disorder that made it appear he was having seizures, and the family was forced into more than 15 trips to the emergency room in the last three years.

Susan said they had to call emergency responders to help with him, because there was no adaptive wheelchair ramp at the house, Adam, weighing 200 pounds and standing a proud 5-foot-11, was too much for his parents to carry. Enter the Home Builders Foundation, a metro Denver-area nonprofit that partners with the homebuilding industry to provide home modifications at no cost for individuals with physical disabilities and financial need On Aug. 23, as part of a threeday “Blitz Build,” the foundation sent 100 volunteers to 13 homes in the metro area, including Adam’s.

At each home they built a ramp, as in Adam’s case, or made modifications in the bathroom to make life

easier for someone with a disability.

“Having access to your home is not something you think about until you have to think about it,” said HBF executive director Beth Forbes. “Being part of all the different site visits you really see how difficult it can be to get in and out of the home and (around) one’s bathroom. It’s rewarding to see the quality of life eased from start to finish.”

Adam, an eighth-grader at Cresthill Middle School, was in school while the construction was going on, but Susan said he is extremely grateful for all the help.

“We had called the state about getting help with home modifications but he doesn’t qualify, because his IQ is too high. He doesn’t have a developmental disability,” Susan said. “A friend told us about Home Builders and they have been just wonderful.”

To learn more about HBF or to volunteer, visit www.hbfdenver. org. HBF is always seeking skilled and non-skilled volunteers to help out with projects.

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “Enchanting!” said a friend as we exited the Aurora Fox Studio Theatre still under a spell, while those who sat in the front row returned the ponchos they had been issued.

“Metamorphoses,” Mary Zimmerman’s beautifully crafted play based on ancient Greek and Roman mythology, is graced with an excellent cast, imaginative direction by Geoffrey Kent and an especially fine set design by Charles Dean Packard.

Zimmerman had drawn on writings by Ovid and other classical and contemporary authors, including Rainier Maria Rilke.

The set, with its cleverly lit pool of blue

water, is almost another character in the script, certainly important to the sounds one hears throughout.

It splashes, rains, has a waterfall and is deep enough for characters to disappear underwater and exit backstage.

One keeps wondering: “How did they do that?”

The pool is surrounded by wooden columns that suggest Greek predecessors — and walls with openings where gods and men (and women) appear to present a collection of stories and characters that are part of our cultural fabric — and the source for many contemporary tales: Orpheus and Eurydice, Narcissus, Aph-

rodite, Erysichthon and Ceres, Phaeton, Baucis and Philemon, Eros and Psyche …

We first meet a modern King Midas (a skilled Michael Morgan), who talks like self-centered billionaire seen in the news today.

A god, pleased with him, offers a wish and he asks that everything he touches might turn to gold.

Although he has been shushing his active daughter, he is heartbroken when she leaps into his arms and we all know what happens to her.

Staging of this scene and those that follow is carefully and precisely carried out, with musical background, extraordinary lighting and sound.

Every splash — and there are many — has a part in the characters’ story and elegant language.

A sense of humor is emphasized throughout by Kent’s expert direction. His experience as a classical actor is apparent.

Lovers of theater will not want to miss this fascinating production.

‘Autumn Boutique’ boosts arts center Lone Tree event will offer variety of goods

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com With the opening of the Lone Tree Arts Center, the LTAC Guild was formed to support and promote the center and its activities.

The guild has held fundraising events at the center and elsewhere, and on Sept.

14, members will sponsor their first preholiday “Autumn Boutique” at the arts center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree.

The event will run 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., offering goods by a number of vendors, including custom women’s and children’s clothing, jewelry, accessories, art, childrens’ gifts, furniture, gourmet food items, home decor, pet products and more.

Deborah Ortiz, one of numerous vendors, is a longtime resident of Denver’s Highland neighborhood who started painting as therapy after a serious acci-

dent and “discovered her artist within.”

She created floral designs for family and friends for years before she began showcasing her art in local shows.

She paints unique floral art in homes and businesses and on up-cycled glass pieces.

She uses an enamel-based glass paint, which she heat-cures for durability.

Fossil Trace Golf Course in Golden is listed among the “10 most unusual U.S. golf courses,” according to Forbes magazine contributor Larry Olmsted.

The writer raves about course designer Jim Engh, calling him “one of my favorite golf architects and way underrated by the general public, though the industry holds him in high acclaim.”

Olmstead also notes Fossil Creek’s preservation of rustic mining equipment and the history lesson the course provides with prehistoric dinosaur tracks through holes 11 to 15 left some 64 million years ago. “Triceratops footprints have been well marked next to the 12th green so golfers can take a look, and more fossils, plaster footprint casts, and ancient history are in the clubhouse,” Olmstead notes.

He forgets the great views the course offers from every direction, especially from holes No. 1 and 10, and the commune next to the 16th tee box.

PGA Tour is on the ball

The PGA Tour is not run by a slew of stooges.

Witness the television commercial already out touting the 2014 BMW Championships, part of the FedEx Cup playoff tournament series that will be played at Cherry Hills Country Club in Cherry Hills Village.

The advertisement features four of Denver’s best-known sports figures, from the Broncos: John Elway, Peyton Manning and John Lynch and ex-Denver Nuggets star Chauncey Billups (now with the Detroit Pistons but a Denver resident and native).

So Todd Helton and Joe Sakic are chopped liver?

The BMW Championship is the next to the last tournament of the FedEx Cup series that narrows the field to the final 30 that play at The TOUR Championship the following week. Next year’s BMW Championship will be played Sept. 4-7 at Cherry Hills. Tickets are already available at https://tickettapp.com/wms/buy/ bmw/2014 for the 2014 BMW Championship.

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “La Soleil du le Riviera” is the title for Pixie Gore’s and Kathy Dawson’s joint art exhibit in September in the Stanton Gallery at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center.

Paintings of the beautiful South of France by two artists who have traveled there many times will bring the color and sunshine into the gallery for a month, while “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” the onstage musical, tells a lighthearted tale of two (singing and dancing) con men who agree to cooperate in bilking wealthy tourists, especially women, who are visiting the Riviera.

Kathy Dawson is a travel agent who specializes in art-related touring and will actually be on the Riviera when the play opens on Sept. 13.

She grew up in an artistic family in Colorado, received a master of arts from University of Northern Colorado and has lived in Germany and toured Europe, Mexico and the Caribbean as a group escort in “The Fine Art of Travel.”

Later this year, the health care provider will open a multi-specialty clinic in Lone Tree and hire an additional 130 positions there.

As Kaiser Permanente continues to add new membership in Colorado, it’s estimated that hundreds of additional jobs could be created in the state in the next three to five years.

“We are pleased to provide a sustained boost to Colorado’s economy,” said Donna Lynne, president of Kaiser Permanente Colorado.

Shows flow in Spark exhibits

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com As sculptor Barbara Baer placed finishing touches on her installation “Pleasure Ground” at Spark Gallery on Aug. 27, she planned to set the gallery lighting the next day.

“We should get some good shadow play,” she said, talking of her process in placing the new work in Spark, where she will collaborate with two artists whose work is remarkably compatible with hers, although each has a distinctive style.

Baer’s “Pleasure Ground” fills half the main gallery space as one enters Spark, at Ninth Avenue and Santa Fe Drive. Kelly Cannon’s “Imagined and Observed” — work based on maps, data and landscapes — flows across walls to meet Baer’s installation.

Annalee Schorr’s mathematical “Rhomboid” in the North Gallery is glimpsed through a doorway. It includes four Plexiglas rhomboid structures, each striped with precisely patterned duct tape, a patterning that extends to the floor.

Baer said the cooperative gallery plans its exhibits for the year with hopefully compatible combinations of members’ artworks. This combination is particularly pleasing to a viewer’s eye.

Baer started planning in early spring, taking careful measurements of the gallery and its movable wall panels, forming an agreement with Cannon about placement of the large moving panels, which cannot

“Pleasure Ground” is a new installation by sculptor Barbara Baer, exhibited through Sept. 22 at Spark Gallery in Denver.

There are public art pieces by Baer throughout the south area as well as nationally. Photo by Dustin Ellingboe be stored elsewhere. She has put them flat against the walls.

She built a small model and planned her “Pleasure Ground,” inspired by memories of historic gardens she has visited, including Versailles. “I love old gardens,” she said.

Human-scaled figures are placed along a curving path, which was designed after drawings made by the original garden plan-

The individual figures are varied in size as human visitors would be and invite a

Comeback cats: Jaguars take opener Rock Canyon overcomes Highlands Ranch Falcons’ large lead

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Rock Canyon junior quarterback Ryan Hommel sparked a three-touchdown comeback in the Jaguars’ Aug. 30 seasonopening victory over Highlands Ranch at Shea Stadium.

The Jaguars can tote the confidence in their ability to respond from a deficit into the rest of the season after rallying to pull out a 24-21 victory over the Falcons in front of a standing-room crowd.

“I think we can always say we are never out of it,” said Brian Lamb, who earned his first victory as Rock Canyon’s new head coach. “We are always going to fight to the

end and keep playing. We will hopefully be in good enough shape to win the fourth quarter and that’s what it is all about.”

Rock Canyon trailed 21-3 with 5:59 left in the third quarter but Hommel got untracked to spark the three-touchdown rally to pull out the win with 15-yard TD pass to Jack Lamb with 36.9 seconds remaining in the game.

John Riley’s 2-point conversion run gave Rock Canyon a 3-point lead after the Jaguars failed on a conversion attempt after second touchdown.

Highlands Ranch could not get past its own 40-yard line in the waning seconds.

Rock Canyon’s winning 67-yard touchdown drive took only 47 seconds and Hommel connected on two of three passes for 26 yards and scrambled twice for 19 yards including one run for 15 yards on a thirdand-three play.

Hommel completed 12 of 28 passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns. Under heavy pressure from the Falcons’ defense,

he hit on only one of 11 pass attempts early in the game.

“That’s part of being a quarterback,” said Hommel who passed for 1,462 yards during his sophomore campaign. “You have to do anything you can to help the team win. We knew we were down 20 points but we could come back. This will do a lot for us the rest of the season.”

Rock Canyon hosts Arvada West on Sept.

5 while Highlands Ranch entertains Ponderosa on Sept. 6 at Shea Stadium.

Highlands Ranch played a bunch of young players in going 2-8 last season but the Falcons looked like a team that benefitted from gaining experience until appearing to wear down late in the game.

Falcons junior quarterback Keaton Thames completed seven of 12 passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns. At least two of his incompletions were passes he intentionally threw away. He also rushed for a touchdown as he was involved in all three of his team’s touchdowns.

Thames’ 74-yard TD strike to Eric Dynes in the third quarter appeared to give the Falcons a comfortable 18-point lead.

“I still had confidence,” said Lamb. “I knew we were making plays. We just had to shore up our mistakes. We made many mistakes in the kicking game and we definitely have things to work on.

“I felt we kept up the pressure and we slowly wore them down and started to gas them a little bit in the run game and finally in our pass game they couldn’t rush our quarterback as quick. We were able to get some passes off.”

Lamb replaced Tom Lynch as Rock Canyon football coach last March and said it “felt great” to get his first Jaguars win under his belt.

“We’re a young team with new systems,” he said. “We started from scratch almost like coaching freshman football. The kids have really worked hard, wanting to improve, wanting to get better, wanting to embrace what we want to teach them.”

Mountain Vista boys win invitational Cross country meet delayed by lightning

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com A true cross country course with hills and water jumps is a trademark of the Warrior Invitational, and this year, lightning that forced a reshuffling of the schedule and rain compounded the tests for the runners.

This is the 47th year for the invitational at DeKoevend Park in Centennial and, for the first time in recent memory, Mother Nature dictated changes in the schedule.

About 50 teams entered the invitational and most were warming up for activities to start at 4 p.m. with the boys junior varsity race, when everyone was sent to buses or other shelters after Chuck Lutz, Arapahoe cross country coach

and event organizer, called a 30-minute delay because of lightning in the area.

The delay stretched to more than an hour and the event schedule was reshuffled with the boys varsity race starting at 5:15 p.m. and the girls varsity at 5:30 p.m.

About 6 p.m., the boys JV and C team runners were combined and sent out on the course. Five minutes later the girls JV and C team runners’ race began. The Arapahoe coach said this was probably the largest field of races in Colorado history and there might be a couple thousand runners on the course at the same time.

But the event was run and Cerake Gabveikidane of Denver East was medalist in the varsity boys race, with a time of 15:10. Connor Weaver of Mountain Vista was second and helped his team to win the title with 65 points. Arapahoe was second with 144 points.

After finishing the race in 16:06, Weaver said he was sure the delay and change in schedule had an impact on everyone, but everyone still pushed hard during the race.

“It was OK anyway,” he said.

“The course was a little wet but it wasn’t too bad. I feel I ran pretty well. I would have liked to have won the race, but I set my own pace and l felt my time was good.

This was a challenging field, I feel I did well, so it is a good way to start the season and work to get better.”

In cross country, a runner receives points based on his finish in the race. The first place runner gets one point and the 15th runner gets 15 points. A team can enter seven runners and the points of the top five are totaled to determine the team score.

Behind Weaver, the next four teammates were Andrew Walton in fifth place, Blake Graf in 16th place, Tyler Matzke in 19th place

Mountain Vista’s Connor Weaver is the first of his team and the second runner across the finish line during the boys varsity race at the Warrior Invitational Cross Country Meet. Photo by Tom Munds and Carson Hart in 23rd place.

In the varsity girls race, Monarch won the team title with 53 points. Mountain Vista was sixth with 239, and Emily Wolff’s seventh-place finish helped the Arapahoe Warriors to finish seventh with 289 points.

Wolff said no one liked the schedule shift or going back to the buses because of the lightning,

but none of that mattered when it came time to run.

“It is a good course and it is a good race,” she said after crossing the finish line. “It was a big field, and maneuvering through runners was challenging, particularly when the trail narrowed down.

But it was great weather for running and that helped make it a good run.”

Artfest to make for lively weekend Nonprofit selling hamburgers to fund schooling for kids

By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com Some of the people wandering around the Colorado Artfest at Castle Rock in 2012 had the opportunity to see and buy tons of art from local and out-of-state artists. But it was that hamburger or hot dog they bought that made the difference in 27 kids’ lives in Haiti.

Now, the Calvary Chapel youth group, based in Castle Rock, which spent two days at the barbecue grill at the 2012 Artfest and raised $5,000 — enough to enable 27 kids to have a year’s school, uniforms, materials and a meal a day — plan to do the same thing at the upcoming Sept. 7 and 8 Artfest. But they hope to make more to help more kids.

“They’re precious little kids,” said Chris Kroger, a Calvary Chapel pastor who has spent time in Haiti helping,

with different funds, to build a school there. And had moments weeping because of his huge wish to be able to bring them all home.

So, in addition to seeing art from about 180 artists — about 45 percent from other states — there are other types of opportunities.

Kid artists will be able to create artwork at the Imagination Zone, sponsored by Castle Rock Adventist Hospital. The hospital will take their work, make get-well cards and use them at the hospital.

On Sept. 7, there will be a high school chalk-art competition, sponsored by Lone Tree’s Sky Ridge Medical Center. It’s expected some kids will take hours that morning to create, and then the awards ceremony will be at 3 p.m.

Pam Ridler, president of the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce, which sponsors the Artfest, said the biggest thing they’re seeing is that the quality of art at the juried Artfest has “substantially raised to different level, more so in the last five years, six years.” Only about half of the artists that apply get

in.

There’s also a diversity of art, in type and price range. She said prices will range from about $25 to $13,000. One Florida painter, specializing in wildlife and recognized by the Audubon Society, will be at the Artfest — as will the artist who created the large bronze sculpture of horse and cowboy at the corner of Fifth and Gilbert streets.

Among the live entertainment, Phat Daddy, a rhythm and blues band that draws a large crowd, will be back.

Ridler said the event draws about 20,ooo to 25,000 people and has a “very good reputation.”

The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sept. 7, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 8, in the parking lots of Castle Rock Town Hall, 100 Wilcox St., and Philip S. Miller Library, 100 S. Wilcox St. Tickets are $5 for adults, $3 for seniors over 60, and kids under 12 are free.
