County’s homeless have new shelter option Church network will house women and children during cold months

By Jessica Gibbs jgibbs@coloradocommunitymedia.com For Nicole Bell, 32, a kitchen table has real significance.

The homeless mother of five has

been living in a Lone Tree hotel for more than two years. For the sake of space and efficient parenting, her two oldest children live with their father in Castle Rock.

Today, Bell struggles to remember the last time she could sit her children down at their own kitchen table for dinner.

“I’ve been homeless and poor for so long ...,” she said. “I hate it and I’m trying so hard to get out of that.”

A new hope This winter, Bell and families like hers will have a new safety net.

As part of the inaugural Winter Weather Shelter program, eight Douglas County churches have committed to act as shelters for Douglas County’s homeless women and children, opening their doors each night of the week from Nov. 1 through March 31.

Men will be provided assistance such as hotel vouchers, but churches are un-

able to house men, women and children together for purposes of safety and privacy, program officials said.

Nicole DeVries, an outreach director with Southeast Christian Church in Parker, said program organizers identified single women and their children as some of the greatest in need, based on the percentage they make up of Douglas County’s homeless population.

‘People’s moods this year are very different’ Unpopular candidates and a polarized electorate typify 2016 presidential race

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Dorothy Dhooge, 82, has watched a lot of election cycles come and go, but this year’s presidential race may be the most divisive she’s seen.

Dhooge, an Arapahoe County resident, said the tension has caused her to avoid talking politics with some of her own family members.

“We steer clear of it,” she said, adding that she thinks the divisions run beyond just her own family. “I think it’s split people in the country.”

Raegan Young, 4, takes her pumpkin painting seriously as she decides just what colors will make for the best, most artistic result.

A beautiful fall day Oct. 8 brought families — including Raegan and her mom, Jenny, who live in Highlands Ranch — to Schweiger Ranch’s annual fall festival. The historic ranch in Lone Tree, just southeast of I-25 and Ridgegate Parkway, had something for everyone, including a pumpkin patch, bluegrass music, apple-picking and haywagon rides.

Child’s death is ‘a loss for all of us’ Lone Tree plans fundraiser for former officer’s family, who lost 2-year-old daughter

“When she passed away,” Patten said, “it totally rocked our world.”

Patten left his job shortly after. He

wanted something safer, he said. He and his wife, Alli, have three other daughters — twins that were born in June and a 4-year-old.

Lulu’s funeral was held on July 29 with more than 1,000 people in attendance. The casket, funded by South Metro Fire Rescue, was painted Lulu’s favorite color, sky blue, and decorated with Disney characters.

The community outreach since his daughter’s death has been tremendous,

Wounded detective released from Parker Adventist Dan Brite, shot by a suspect in September, is transferred to Englewood’s Craig Hospital

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Detective Dan Brite of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, who was shot by a suspect in early September, was discharged from Parker Adventist Hospital on Oct. 6. and transferred to Craig Hospital in Englewood for continued rehabilitation. He was escorted by sheriff’s deputies.

Parker Adventist staff lined hospital hallways with T-shirts bearing the slogan “Heroes Need Heroes,” and Brite’s fellow

officers from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the Parker Police Department lined a segment of westbound E-470 in dress uniforms.

Brite was wounded in a Sept. 2 shootout with suspect Randall Rodick outside Rodick’s home in unincorporated Douglas Brite County at the intersection of North Dixon Drive and East lookout Drive. Brite and other officers were responding to a call from Rodick’s wife that he was “suicidal” and armed. A bullet entered Brite’s chest and he was taken immediately to Parker Adventist, only four minutes away from the scene. Rodick was later fatally shot by a responding officer.

Patten said. He’s received thousands of calls and letters from people near and far.

“I think that’s the reason we are doing so well,” said Patten, who is getting ready to move from Roxborough to Parker.

To show its support, the City of Lone Tree is hosting a Lanes for Lulu fundraiser on Oct. 23 at Bowlero Lone Tree — formerly Brunswick Zone XL — at 255 Kimmer Drive.

From 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., teams of six will compete for prizes, including highest overall score, highest score without using the gutter, highest first responder team score, highest youth team score, best team name and best team costumes. The cost is $180 for a team of six players or $40 per individual.

“

The outpouring of support, donations, and prayers have tremendously helped us through this difficult time.”

“Words cannot begin to express the gratitude and deep appreciation we have for our family, friends, community, our brothers and sisters in blue, and the entire team at Parker Adventist Hospital,” Brite and his wife Christine said in a written statement.

“Our lives were forever changed on

Hoffman said planning the event was a group effort. He and other city employees wanted to help the Patten family financially and show support.

“It’s a family atmosphere here for all of the employees,” Hoffman said.

“When one of our family members has a loss like that, it’s a loss for all of us.”

Sgt. Joseph Deland, who was Patten’s supervisor, worked the graveyard shift with Patten. The loss, he said, hit home for anyone in the police department who has kids.

“As a parent, it is the worst thing in the world that could ever happen to you,” said Deland, who has a 2½-year-old daughter. “The strength that the Pattens have shown is truly unbelievable.”

Deland signed up to partipate in Lanes for Lulu the second he heard about it.

“As police officers, we want to fix things,” Deland said. “We can’t fix this. But whatever we can do, we will do.”

A FALL DAY AT THE RANCH

Shannon and Paul Connolly and their son, Corbin, just 12 months old, made the drive from Centennial to Lone Tree to enjoy the historic Schweiger Ranch’s annual fall festival.

“We came just to have fun and pick out a pumpkin — the whole nine yards,” Shannon said with a wide smile, as Corbin gleefully checked out pumpkins and gourds in the field by the farmhouse.

Grandparents Fred and Honesty Connolly, visitng from Maryland, made the outing a real family affair.

Sponsored by the City of Lone Tree and the Schweiger Ranch Foundation, the festival included a pumpkin patch, haywagon rides, bluegrass music, storytime presented by Douglas County Libraries, apple-picking and mini-pumpkin decorating. There also were food trucks, and the ranch’s beekeepers sold honey produced at the ranch.

Weaver and Roger Partridge also joined Schweiger family members for a ribboncutting that celebrated the property’s restoration and preservation.

Melissa Gariepy was there with her daughter, Quinn, 8, for the ceremony. But they also tried their hand at apple-picking with a long tool to grab apples from the treetops.

“We were trying to get an apple,” Gariepy said, “but there was a wormhole in it.”

For Lone Tree residents Bryn Gaertner, Tim Ahearne and their 9-month-old son, Ethan — recent Chicago transplants sitting in the middle of the pumpkin patch — nothing beat the simple joy of being outside on a blue-sky autumn day.

“Fall,” Gaertner said, “is the best.”

Rachael Goldstein and Morgan Miller, seniors at Mountain Vista High School, hope to pursue careers as teachers.

Photos by Mike DiFerdinando

Mark Newton, a journalism teacher at Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch, created an innovative scholarship program for students who want to teach.

Scholarship program helps future teachers Educators at Mountain Vista will donate $1 for each year they have taught

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Morgan Miller, a senior at Mountain Vista High School, has hopes of becoming a special education teacher one day.

“Since I was about 10 years old, I have been volunteering and working in classrooms with students who have disabilities,” Miller said. “So it’s been a passion of mine.”

Mountain Vista journalism teacher Mark Newton has come up with a way to help students like Miller, who want to be teachers, achieve those goals.

Under Newton’s plan, each teacher at the school would contribute $1 to the scholarship for each year they have

taught.

“It really came from this discussion I’ve been having with my students about why we do what we do,” Newton said. “The idea became ‘If it’s so important, why aren’t we personally articulating what we really believe in?’ Let’s really walk the walk and talk the talk.”

The idea has already spread quickly, and even former teachers and community members are asking to donate, Newton said. Dozens of teachers at the school have already contributed.

The guidelines to apply and specific scholarship amounts are still to be determined, but Newton said the first scholarships would be given to seniors at the end of this school year.

Principal Mike Weaver, who spent 17 years as a classroom teacher, said he has also heard interest from other schools in the district that want to emulate the program.

“Mark came to me with the idea and I immediately thought it was great,” Weaver said. “It’s going to compound pretty quickly based on a few of us who have been around for a while.”

When teachers see students who show an interest in the profession, Newton said they have an obligation to encourage them to pursue the path.

“When your see someone really good with kids, and you see someone with a really good heart who wants to do what you’re doing, it’s awesome,” Newton said.

“It makes you feel like your job is worthy of everything that sometimes makes it hard.”

Since 2010, the number of teachers, principals and education service providers completing programs at Colorado colleges and universities has declined 23 percent, according to a 2016 report by the Colorado Department of Higher Education.

Inspiring positive self-esteem, critical thinking and an enthusiasm for learning.

The number of students enrolling in education programs at colleges and universities also has dropped by 24 percent, according to the report.

Rachael Goldstein, a Mountain Vista senior, wants to teach elementary school one day.

“I just have a passion for children,” Goldstein said. “Through babysitting and some teaching internships, I just know that I have a passion for kids. I love them a lot, so why not make it a career? I’ve had teachers that have inspired me and I want to be as good as them (and) inspire other people.”

Goldstein and Miller are excited about the new scholarship and plan to apply.

“It’s amazing,” Goldstein said. “Teaching isn’t looked at the same way as being a doctor or a lawyer. I think teaching is really undervalued in our society, and for them to acknowledge that and make a scholarship for it, is a really great idea.”

Workout studio hosts class for breast cancer awareness Proceeds benefit Stamped with Love, a glamsquad to help women feel beautiful again

Ladies show off their ballet moves in a previous Plie for Pink class, hosted annually to raise funds for a breast cancer organization. Funds from this year’s event, at 9:45 a.m. on Oct. 15, will go toward a local breast cancer awareness organization, Stamped With Love.

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunity Valerie Franklin lost her cousin to breast cancer in 2008. A year later, she lost her aunt to the disease.

To honor her family members, the Highlands Ranch resident started Stamped With Love, a group of photographers and makeup artists who provide their services for free to those battling breast cancer and breast cancer survivors.

“It’s our celebration day — that’s what we call it,” Franklin said. “It’s an opportunity for them to forget about everything they are going through.”

Franklin, a Realtor and former wedding photographer, hosts the special event in her basement, where she has a photography studio. She invites three to four women at a time so they can share their experiences while getting pampered for a photo shoot.

“Not only is it makeup and hair,” she said, “it’s something that these women can take with them to remember that day.”

Her goal, her website says, is to make women affected by breast cancer feel beautiful again.

Stephanie Foster, a five-year survivor,

had a photo shoot about a year ago with three other women, who are also longtime friends of hers. They went to Franklin’s house, had breakfast, drank champagne and talked. Foster, who has straight hair, had her hair curled and her makeup done.

“It was a way to get our mind off the things we had been through,” said Foster, a Highlands Ranch resident. “It’s a time when you don’t have to worry about breast cancer.”

A Highlands Ranch workout studio is raising money so more people, like Foster, can have a carefree day of pampering.

April Norris owns the women’s fitness studio called Xtend Barre. Every October — National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

DOUGLAS COUNTY

— she holds a fundraising event called Plié for Pink. Plié is a ballet movement, which is fitting for the ballet- and Pilates-based studio.

Each year, funds from Plié for Pink go to a person or organization touched by the disease. Last year, Norris raised about $400 for a Highlands Ranch woman whose mother needed a double mastectomy, a procedure in which a doctor removes both breasts to remove as much of the cancer as possible.

When she was choosing a person or organization to donate to this year, Norris thought of Franklin. The two have been friends for a couple of years. Norris will donate all funds from her Oct. 15 Plié for Pink event to Stamped With Love.

“We want to be able to touch a personal life,” said Norris, who lost her aunt to

MORE ABOUT STAMPED WITH LOVE Valerie Franklin, executive director and photographer of Stamped With Love, usually hosts about 15 to 20 photo shoots per year.

Services last up to two hours and include professional makeup and hairstyling and a photo shoot with three to five wardrobe changes.

Plié for Pink will be at 9:45 a.m. Oct. 15 at the Xtend Barre studio, 3620 E. Highlands Ranch Parkway. Norris asks that guests register before the class online at www.xtendbarre.com/studio/highlandsranch or by phone at 303-791-2100. The cost is $20 per person. Norris will be accepting donations, from members and nonmembers, through the month of October. She also encourages guests to sport the color pink to the class.

Her studio, she said, is a positive environment for women.

“This is a place of friendship, challenge and change,” Norris said. “We challenge people to do things they don’t normally do — physically and in the community.”

“It’s no wonder people feel that there’s a little more hate, it’s no wonder that people feel that society’s a little more on edge,” said Saunders, a political-science professor at Colorado State University since 2004. “It’s because it is.”

‘It’s a strange year’ Joy Hoffman, chair of the Arapahoe County Republican Party, said she’s definitely noticed a more emotional tone to this year’s election.

“People’s moods this year are very different from (what) they’ve been in different years,” she said.

In addition to leading the Arapahoe

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com A poll conducted by Monmouth University Polling Institute asked respondents about the tone and impacts of this year’s election campaign. The poll was conducted from Sept. 22 to Sept.

25, with a national random sample of 802 registered voters. Interviews were conducted in English, live, over the phone. The breakdown of respondents is as follows: 402 from a list of registered voters (201 landline and 201 cell phone) and 400 using random digit dial (200 landline and 200 cell phone).

Some questions and responses from the survey: County GOP, Hoffman, 60, co-chairs the Arapahoe County Trump campaign.

Donald Trump supporters, she said, are more involved than voters she’s seen in recent years.

“People motivated by Mr. Trump are people who feel like they have been ignored,” she said. “I’m not sure who they feel was ignoring them, but they do feel ignored.”

Hoffman wouldn’t give her own reasons for supporting Trump, but said supporters she talks to are worried about safety and immigration.

“Many people are concerned about their safety,” Hoffman said. “They have a fear of immigration and, whether it’s real or imagined, the illegal activity that comes with it, like human trafficking, drug smuggling and just general crime.”

Hoffman acknowledged some of Trump’s comments are controversial, such as his criticism of Arizona Sen. John McCain’s heroism and of the Khans, a Gold Star family from Virginia whose son, Capt. Humayun Khan, died protecting his platoon in the Iraq War.

Has this year’s presidential campaign brought out the best in people, brought out the worst in people, or has it done neither?

“I’d say the most important issue is the economy because we’re still having sluggish growth since the downturn in 2008. We haven’t fully recovered from that and I think people are still worried about jobs and the fact that incomes haven’t risen at the same rate as inflation. There’s still a lot of fear about out there about that, I think.”

Do you think this harsh language tends to come more from supporters of Donald Trump, more from supporters of Hillary Clinton, or from supporters of both equally?

But his statements haven’t fazed volunteers, she said.

“A lot of comments I hear are something like ‘I’m sorry for their loss but they’re a little disingenuous,’ ” she said. “Some people react negatively to what he says and some people applaud it.”

The emotional tone of the campaign is largely a product of people too focused on political correctness and being “thinskinned,” she said.

Hoffman talks politics freely with her campaign co-workers, but said she and her friends steer discussions toward safer topics in social situations, for fear of offending each other.

“It’s a strange year,” she said. “A lot of people don’t want to talk about politics this year. Many people are afraid of the reactions they’ll get.”

‘Pitting people against each other’ Meredith Thatcher, 29, has supported Democrat Hillary Clinton since the day she announced her candidacy for president. The Colorado press secretary for the Clinton campaign likes the former

U.S. senator’s foreign policy experience as Secretary of State and her plans to reform Wall Street.

“She has concrete solutions for these problems,” Thatcher said. “Not just talking points.”

The most common criticisms against Clinton, regarding her use of a private email account and claims she mishandled the attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, have been resolved, Thatcher said.

“The 11 hours of testimony speak for themselves. She answered every question without tiring and without flinching,” Thatcher said. “To keep that story going is certainly a benefit to the Republican side… It’s an attempt to spin old news that’s been pretty well dissected.”

Thatcher, who worked on President Obama’s 2012 campaign, also feels there is a more antagonistic tone this time around. The cause, she said, can be traced back to Trump’s campaign announcement, when he called for a wall to keep out Mexican criminals and “rapists.”

“As the campaign has gone on, the rhetoric has ramped up,” she said. “It Election continues on Page 9

really does seem like an unprecedented level of rhetoric focused on dividing people and pitting people against each other.”

‘Not what we’d heard before’ The chair of the Douglas County Republican Party said people on both sides of the aisle don’t know how to handle a candidate as unconventional as Trump.

“It’s no secret that initially, as he was on the debates, he answered and his rhetoric was not what we’d heard before,” Tanne Blackburn, 72, said. “A lot of people don’t like change. It makes them uncomfortable not knowing what the change is.”

For Blackburn, Trump’s background in business and lack of political experience are bonuses.

“He’s the first absolutely total businessman, not a politician,” she said.

“This whole country needs a different perspective than what we’ve had.”

Trump’s controversial statements — including derogatory comments against women, Muslims and Mexicans — are a result of his unpolished nature, Blackburn said.

“He is not a politician,” she said. “Do I think these statements are good? No. But I’m more concerned with the welfare of our country.”

Robert Blaha, chairman of the Colorado for Trump campaign, also likes his candidate’s businessman’s perspective.

He describes the election as “contentious” rather than “divisive.”

Both candidates have made inappropriate comments, Blaha said, but they are only “one of the things in the mix.”

A bigger cause of the divide, he said, is their different approaches to issues like the economy and immigration.

“There is a lot of emotion about this race,” he said. “When you add that emo-

‘My jaw is on my chest’ Centennial resident Laurie Ritchie believes the differences between the two candidates, and their rhetoric, couldn’t be clearer.

“She has been under the media spotlight for 30 to 40 years,” Ritchie said. “If you look at what she’s done — where the rubber meets the road — she has measurable accomplishments. The contrast is amazing. Experience counts.”

Ritchie, a 55-year-old Democrat and small business owner, has volunteered for Democratic campaigns since 2008.

She blames Trump’s comments about immigrants, Muslims and minorities for creating a “frightening” campaign.

“The extreme views, the racism — I listen to him speak and my jaw is on my chest,” she said. “The comments are just so extreme.”

Sitting in the food court at Park Meadows mall in Lone Tree, Dhooge said she feels the same as Ritchie, and the first presidential debate on Sept. 26 reaffirmed her opinion.

“He just kept on interrupting her,” she said. “I thought ‘I better shut it off before I put my foot through the TV.’ ” Dhooge said she’s never voted a straight ticket, always choosing individuals over their party. And though she’s “not crazy about Clinton,” she will vote for her.

“She has the knowledge,” Dhooge said. “And he always has a plan for everything, but he never tells you what it is.”

‘We’re all Americans’ Saunders, the CSU professor, said polarization in Congress has become unyielding in the last 10 to 15 years, with party lines taking precedent over principle. That opposition, he said, is reflected in the electorate.

“How do we get past that?” Saunders asked rhetorically. “It’s really hard

Did you know?

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Since the mid-1800s, the Democratic and Republican parties have consolidated the presidential election process into essentially a twoparty competition. The last president who wasn’t either a Republican or a Democrat was Millard Fillmore, a Whig, who ended his term in 1852.

The last time a third-party candidate came in second was 1912, when Teddy Roosevelt split from the Republican Party. Running as the candidate for his newly-formed Progressive Party, Roosevelt won 88 electoral votes and came in second to Democrat Woodrow Wilson.

This year’s election cycle, featuring two widely unpopular majorparty candidates, has seen a lot of buzz about third-party resurgence and theories that many voters may not cast a ballot at all.

But political veterans aren’t sure whether there is any truth to the speculation.

Marlu Burkamp, director-at-large for the League of Women Voters in Arapahoe and Douglas counties, is “not that worried” that dislike of the top candidates will keep people home on Election Day. But she added that there has been a slight uptick in third-party interest. to think about how that would happen without a pretty large reset of the system.”

If voters supporting Trump and Clinton follow their leaders’ example, there may not be much cause for optimism.

“We have one candidate who says ‘Can’t we all get along?’ and another candidate who says ‘Nope, we can’t,’ ”

“There is probably a resurgence in voting for a third party,” she said.

“They’re picking up, but I don’t know that it will be significant.”

A Real Clear Politics poll on Sept.

23, showing Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson polling at 8.9 percent nationally, bears out her assessment.

Burkamp worries the drama surrounding this year’s presidential race will overshadow important local issues and candidates.

“Everything starts locally,” Burkamp said. “If you’re not very happy with the presidential candidates, your vote still counts down the ballot, it’s very important. If you don’t vote for them, you’re missing the boat.”

Political science professor Kyle Saunders of Colorado State University said there is always a level of non-participation among the college-aged citizens he teaches. But he doesn’t necessarily see this year’s candidates causing widespread voter apathy among older voters.

Saunders said 43 percent of voters self-identify as Independents, but when they are alone in the ballot box, a majority still vote primarily with either Republicans or Democrats.

“Seventy to 75 percent of them are closet partisans,” he said. “If you push them or watch how they vote, they vote the same as a straight Republican or a straight Democrat down the ticket.”

Saunders said. “It’s a tough time.”

But Dhooge has hope.

Differences between the candidates and their supporters run deep, but she believes the rift will mend, regardless of who wins.

“We’re all Americans,” she said. “If you are at all patriotic, you stick with your country.”

4B: Pennies add up to something beautiful

“Life without the collective resources of our libraries, museums, theatres and galleries, or without the personal expression of literature, music and art, would be static and sterile – no creative arguments about the past, no diverse and stimulating present and no dreams of the future.”

That quote comes from “The Value of Arts and Culture to People and Society,” a report

by Arts Council England, an organization similar to our Scientific Cultural Facilities District in that it distributes public monies to a bevy of arts and cultural entities.

Like the SCFD, the Arts Council’s goal is not only sustainability for those institutions, but also — and perhaps more importantly — the creation of thriving and diverse experiences that enrich communities, expand horizons and inspire us to reach for the best of humanity.

That’s what the SCFD has accomplished since 1988, for the incredible bargain of a penny for every $10 in sales tax paid in Douglas County and the six other Denver metro area counties that comprise the district. Voters renewed that deal in 1994 and 2004. And we should again do so on Nov. 8 by saying yes to Ballot Issue 4B. The amendment would reauthorize and extend the collection of the 0.1 percent sales tax for 12 more years until 2030. It also revises the distribution formula of money to the three tiers of organizations — 310 in total — that it funds. Besides Douglas County (with the exception of the towns of Castle Rock and Larkspur), the other counties that receive SCFD funding are Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Boulder, Denver and Jefferson.

The bulk of the money would continue to go to the five largest entities: the Denver Zoo, Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver Art Museum, Denver Museum of Nature and Science,

OUR VIEW and Denver Center for the Performing Arts.

But the smaller regional and local organizations would receive a larger percentage of distributions than they have in the past.

Opponents argue the tax unfairly hits everyone, regardless of whether they patronize the cultural facilities. They argue the distribution formula favors the five largest organizations, while the grants to smaller institutions would continually shrink because their share would be divided among more.

But there can be no argument that for 28 years the SCFD has succeeded in its mission of creating a dynamic, vibrant arts, science and cultural environment that is recognized far beyond the metro area.

We derive an intrinsic benefit from arts and culture: We learn. We explore. We consider new perspectives. We dream.

But arts and culture also directly energize our economy and workforce. They attract tourists and create jobs. They spill over into classrooms and education arenas. They foster collaboration and inspire creative thinking that can lead to social change. And, especially, they build community, reminding us how we’re connected while celebrating and providing needed outlets for expression and diversity.

Just last week, the nonprofit Colorado Business Committee for the Arts released an economic activity study of Denver metroarea culture. The report, released every two years, was based on grant reports from the institutions that participate in the SCFD. The results show that in 2015: • Arts and culture generated $1.8 billion in economic activity.

• SCFD distributed $53.2 million, 14.6 percent more than in 2013.

• Jobs in the arts, science and cultural organizations grew by 5 percent since 2013 to 10,731.

• Cultural tourists, about 18 percent of the nearly 14 million people who visited cultural attractions, added $367 million in new money to the state’s economy, the largest impact to date from that sector.

• 3.9 million children benefited from outreach.

The SCFD institutions also are working to increase outreach and improve access to underserved communities and those who might not be able to afford admissions.

At Denver Botanic Gardens, for instance, 5.3 million people were served through the SCFD’s free days in 2015. Gardens officials realized some also might not be able to visit because they just can’t get there. So they started free shuttle transportation from community centers, such as Denver’s Mariposa Housing Authority, the Asian-Pacific Development Center and refugee communities to bring people in on days other than traditional free days — but also with free admission.

While the process may not be perfect, what the Scientific Cultural Facilities District has built in 28 years of existence can only be applauded and met with gratitude.

Its institutions — from the Denver Zoo to the Lone Tree Arts Center to the Highlands Ranch Concert Band — continually work to give us the joy of discovery and simple enjoyment, moments that let us breathe in a world that runs too fast.

All this for a penny on every $10 in sales tax.

The decision is easy: Approve 4B. It’s a small price to pay for the arts.

A state between love and hate As I have shared in the past, one of my very favorite things about writing this column is the interaction and communication with our communities. Many of those conversations or email exchanges inspire my thoughts and sometimes even provide great material for a future column.

Such as this one.

These past few weeks I have Michael Norton received more “negatively” charged emails than I can reWINNING member at any time over the WORDS past 10 years. The negativity was not so much pointed at me, but rather about the current state of life, politics, terrorism, national anthem protests and the growing chasm between our communities and our police departments. And by the way, although we all recognize there is work to be done and improvements that can be made within our police departments and processes, a big shout-out to anyone who wears the uniform and has worn the uniform, you are greatly appreciated and deeply respected.

The negative question contained in one email was this, “So what do you hate more, the insanity of the presidential election and our sorry choice of candidates or the Colin Kaepernick driven National Anthem protest?”

Another reader called me out and asked me if I was ever going to take a stand or share my beliefs or opinions on some of these “harder than life issues,” as he called them. And there have been several others that carried a similar message that have been born out of frustration, lack of clear information, and opposing belief systems on both a grand and small scale.

Without sidestepping the questions or avoid declaring my position or belief on the above topics and other important issues, let me share my responses with you here.

As far as which do I hate more, I can honestly say neither. First of all, “hate” would not be my word choice.

Disappointed, saddened, sick to my stomach, frustrated would all come well before “hate.” I cannot turn a blind eye to the massive shortfalls of both candidates, nor can I tell you that I don’t feel a gut-punch every time I see an Norton continues on Page 11

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vote yes on Amendment 71 Our state’s constitution has become cluttered with directives pushed by special interests. This isn’t a good thing, but there is a good reason it has happened: It’s easy to do. Special interests from all over the country look to Colorado as a testing ground for laws and constitutional amendments.

What is wrong with voters directly stating their preferences for laws and constitutional clauses? Absolutely nothing. But it also makes sense that we should protect our constitution from outsiders and that amendments should be of enduring value.

Currently, special interests face the same ballot process to change state law as they do the constitution. Not surprisingly, three out of every four initiatives seek an amendment because of the greater weight it carries over a state law.

These constitutional amendments inject permanent policies into our governance that are difficult to change or remove. This creates a vulnerability for our state and particularly our economic development efforts. And that,

Email letters to letters@coloradocommunitymedia.com

in turn, affects all working Coloradans.

Bringing new businesses to our region better positions our communities for the work-life balance people want: less time on the roads and more time with families. But the level of certainty necessary for them to operate and grow is jeopardized by the ease of potential constitutional amendments.

Amendment 71 will protect our constitution and increase the level of certainty by requiring that signatures are gathered in every state Senate district. This ensures broad-based support and equitable representation. The proposed constitutional amendment then needs to pass by more than 55 percent, thereby, raising the bar.

While Amendment 71 raises the bar for constitutional amendments, it leaves intact the easiest process in the country for citizen-initiated changes to law.

This November, I hope you’ll join me in raising the bar and protecting the Colorado Constitution by supporting Amendment 71.

To boldly goat where no man has gone before During an interview with National Geographic several years ago, I was asked, “What animal would you like to be?”

At the time, I was wearing a lot of black eye makeup and eating shoots and leaves.

I said, “Isn’t it obvious?”

But seriously.

A man named Thomas Thwaites decided that “goat” would be his answer.

He spent three days living with goats as a goat in the Swiss Alps.

He had some prosthetic legs made for himself, wore tight black and white clothing, and a white speed-cyclist’s helmet.

For breakfast he ate grass.

For lunch he ate a tin can.

I made that up.

Thwaites said, “My goal was to take a holiday from the pain and worry of being a self-conscious being, able to regret the past and worry about the future.”

Vodka used to do that for me, and I didn’t have to leave the house.

“I was able to keep up with them for maybe a kilometer or so on this migration down the side of a rocky mountain, and

then they just left me in the dust.”

I went to see my doctor and said, “Doctor, I feel like a goat.”

The doctor said, “Craig, how long have you felt like that?”

I said, “Since I was a kid.”

There are several videos of Thwaites amid goats, doing his best on all fours on his special

legs, and chewing grass.

A television news anchor was overcome when she was reporting the story. That’s the video I recommend.

I think we have all contemplated existence as something other than a human being, and some people take the next step, like college mascots and furries.

Furries are people who dress up like animals. They even hold conventions.

Why isn’t a Halloween costume enough, once a year?

Beats me.

What do you call an unemployed goat?

Billy Idol.

A good friend of mine told me a story about his cherished Bible. He lost it in the Rocky Mountains when he was on vacation, and he spent the next three days looking for it.

Then one day, a goat came to his hotel with the Bible in his mouth.

My friend raised his hands and yelled, “It’s a miracle.”

The goat said, “No it isn’t. Your name is on the inside cover.”

Thwaites wrote a book about his experience.

It’s called “GoatMan: How I Took a Holiday from Being Human.”

The wrap on the book is that while it does a fine job of outlining his extensive preparation, which includes designing a prosthetic goat stomach to digest grass, it is

less attentive to his actual time as a goat.

Please read it on my behalf and let me know.

During World War II, metal was needed for the war effort, so license plates were made out of soybeans.

Guess who ate them off of farm vehicles?

If you know baseball, you know about the Hartford Yard Goats. The Yard Goats are the Rockies Double-A farm team.

They finished third in the Eastern League Eastern Division with a record of 74-67.

I don’t have a joke here. However, the Rockies’ season sometimes seemed like one.

The expression about getting someone’s goat comes from the practice of putting a goat in a race horse’s stall prior to a race, to calm the horse down.

Rascals would swipe the goat.

Goats and I have something in common.

We both listen to Baaa-ch.

Unpresidential audio stirs up memories When I was 18, the summer between my freshman and sophomore years in college, I worked at the front desk of a manufacturing plant, and was the only woman on the site.

One of my duties was to go into the production area and collect the time cards for payroll processing.

One day the superintendent of the plant – a married man – was waiting for me in the back. He pushed me against the wall, trapped me with his body against mine, and pressured me for sex. I got away and, from then on, only went for the time cards when he was off the site. He continued to stalk me, sometimes following me on my way home to hang around outside the post office while I dropped off the company’s mail.

But I didn’t tell anyone.

Some years later, while vice president of an advertising agency, one of my clients was a wealthy real estate developer. We were driving to one of his job sites when he took his right hand off the steering wheel and reached across the car to grab my breast. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t speak. I wondered what I could possibly have done to invite this crude advance.

He was married, I was married. And yet I didn’t tell anyone. I was in a situation familiar to many women, especially in those days when it seemed more acceptable for men who believed they wielded power to take advantage of women. I didn’t want to risk offending a significant client of our agency, even though I was traumatized by these ac-

athlete at any level kneel, sit or protest our national anthem. It’s the same gut-punch feeling when the Pledge of Allegiance and prayer were challenged and taken away from our schools or when Christmas displays and celebrations on public property became governed and directed by the minority instead of the majority.

And as for as taking a stand or sharing my beliefs, I am sure you understand those from my response in the above paragraph.

I have heard it said that it is our differences that make the world go ‘round, and that keep the earth spinning. I also grew up as an amusement park kid, where there were rides that continued to spin you around and around and around. Some were able to tolerate it regardless of how much spinning was going on and the velocity at which they were spun. The ride was fantastic for them.

Others would either throw up on the ride or vomit as they walked weak-legged off of the ride.

So if it is our differences that make the world go ‘round, I am amongst the many who have emailed me and tolerating as much as I possibly can. Sick to my stomach? Yes. I just want the ride to stop, slow down, and let me off before I do actually throw up.

Here is where I net this out for myself

tions. He invited me to fly with him on his private jet to another of his properties, and when I declined, we lost the account.

Having launched my business career in the ’80s, I have been subjected to these and other kinds Andrea Doray of harassment for more than 30 years, ALCHEMY sometimes from the men who directly employed me. So it’s no surprise to me when stories such as those about Bill Cosby, Roger Ailes and – God help us – the Republican nominee for president have come to light.

What does surprise me is that 1) people are shocked by these revelations, 2) people believe that such behavior is uncommon, and 3) people continue to blame and shame the victims.

I know why women stay silent. I know why they endure the objectification, the humiliation, the fear. It’s because this type of discrimination and harassment doesn’t only happen at the exalted levels of celebrity. It happens to wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, girlfriends and best friends in all walks of life. It’s because women are not believed or, worse, are believed but brushed aside as inconsequential.

in our challenging times. Again, I don’t use the word “hate” because I still do believe we live in a world that is mostly filled with love. I believe we live in a world where the mistakes and agendas of the few are amplified so loudly that they seem to take center stage over the goodness, love, and grace that abounds in our communities. We are living in this state of being or state of mind that is centered right between love and hate as we are caught up in the chaos created by the decisions and actions of our past.

And as we seek to break that cycle and we seek new change and as we come together to achieve both, the words I hope that we will use to replace “hate” and the words I hope we can live with and live by example with include: love and forgiveness, love and kindness, and love and grace.

How about you? Are you living with that gut-punch feeling about any of the topics or issues mentioned here? Or maybe there is something else that has your attention right now. And if you are feeling that gutpunch I hope that you can ease the pain or nauseated feeling by turning to grace.

As always, thank you for your emails and I would love to hear from you this week at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can get our head around the fact that grace usurps hate every time, it will be a better than good week.

Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

I read a comment in the New York Times the day the latest news broke about Donald Trump’s boasts of what is classified as sexual assault, and I paraphrase here: If you are female, you have had someone else grab a private part of your body without your consent. This is certainly true for me and most of my contemporaries. I think of the younger women in my life and can only fervently hope this is no longer true for them.

And that’s why I’m telling my story now.

What makes anyone believe they have the right, the permission, to take away my control of who touches my own flesh?

I believe – I have to believe – that this happens less frequently, less systematically than in the past, due in large part to the women who have come forward, the women who support them, and the decent,

compassionate men – and they are in the majority – who are appalled and outraged by what goes on.

It’s unlikely there will be any kind of justice for the women in Trump’s lewd legacy, but there can be a victory for the women and girls of the United States – and the people who love them – in the defeat of Donald Trump. Vote for anyone other than the most unqualified person, on any level, ever to seek leadership of the (still) greatest country on the Earth.

Keeping kids active Fun and encouragement key to getting kids to exercise

By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com

THE IMPORTANCE OF UNSUPERVISED PLAY TIME

P

arents worry that today’s children aren’t getting enough exercise, spending more time playing video games and less time playing outdoors.

But throughout the metro area, there are efforts to spark kids’ interest in physical fitness.

They include running programs in Littleton and Parker and a beforeschool program in Arvada that encourages students to play sports.

Kaiser Permanente offers options for Colorado schools that want to encourage exercise, via its Thriving Schools Initiative, which offers grants of up to $200,000 to fund physical or nutritional education programs.

At North Arvada Middle School, the program funds a zero-hour class beginning at 7:30 a.m. daily in which students play a friendly game of basketball or handball, tracking activity with pedometers, with a goal of at least 3,000 steps.

At Damon Runyon Elementary School in Littleton, physical education teacher Jason Hill has been working for 10 years to get and keep kids interested in running.

His Runyon Running Club gathers weekly during the fall and spring at the school’s track, with about 80 students ranging from kindergarten to fifth grade.

Parent Adrian Jordan, whose son Tariq is a second-grader at Runyon and takes part in the club, said it helps to have something else to do besides sitting in front of a computer.

“It’s not good for a kid to be staring

A fear of letting kids play unsupervised can also lead to lower levels of physical activity, some parents believe.

“I think now people are more afraid to let their kids go out and play,” said Joy Getz, whose son, Brady, a kindergartner, takes part in the Runyon Running Club in Littleton.

Though many parents or educators may be worried that today’s children may not be as active as in generations past, Hill said they may just need encouragement.

“I think they’re active with adults’ help,” he said. “There’s not a lot of kids coming down here playing soccer or shooting hoops without it being a scheduled practice.”

Many Runyon parents are into running, which helps, Hill said.

“There are a lot of triathletes and distance runners here.”

Hill runs 5Ks and used to trail run when he lived in western Colorado.

He ran one half-marathon before sustaining an ACL and meniscus tear in his knee.

His son took part in the club during his elementary school years and now runs track at Euclid Middle School in Littleton.

“Many kids from here are now doing track there,” he said.

Kids Running America is a Parkerbased nonprofit organization that encourages running among children throughout the Denver metro area.

The group uses an “incremental marathon” approach, with the kids logging mileage over eight to 12 weeks.

Lenore Skenazy, founder of the Freerange Kids movement and the blog Freerangekids.com, which advocates raising children to be independent, said that fear is unfounded and negatively affects child-rearing, including by keeping kids from being as active as they should be.

“We really have lost our perspective on what is dangerous,” she said.

Skenazy, an author and former journalist who lives in New York City, believes that unsupervised play is crucial to childhood development.

They run the final mile at Washington Park in Denver on Oct. 23, completing either a marathon of 26.2 miles or an ultra-marathon of 100 miles.

“Our main goal is to get kids out and active,” spokeswoman Rachel Levi said.

Local orchestra keeps jazz beat alive Denver’s jazz scene will never match the bustling birthplaces of the genre — New Orleans, Chicago and New Orleans — but the Mile High City still boasts an impressive jazz history.

Art Bouton, executive director Clarke Reader of the Colorado Jazz Repertory OrchesLINER tra, is among those NOTES working to keep that history alive through performance.

“The goal of the orchestra is simple — gather the best players in town to play the best big band jazz,” he said. “Every town should have a band playing great stuff like this.”

Entering its fifth season, the orchestra brings its take on big band leaders like Count Basie and Duke Ellington, and unique arrangements from such legends as Miles Davis, Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald, to smaller venues up and down the Front Range. In the coming six months, the 18-piece band will perform at the Arvada Center, Lakewood Cultural Center and Parker Arts Center.

“These 500-seat theaters are our sweet spot,” Bouton said. “There’s not any other large jazz ensemble in town doing what we’re doing.”

Denver’s jazz scene dates back to the 1920s and 1930s, when Five Points in central Denver was known as the ‘Harlem of the West.’ The neighborhood was home to famous clubs like the Rossonian, the Casino Cabaret and Lotus Club.

Bouton, also a professor of saxophone at the University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music, has been a lifelong advocate of jazz in the area.

“This music deserves people with an attention to detail,” he said. “Anybody can feel it when it really starts grooving.”

Towering figures like Louis Armstrong and Fitzgerald stopped by to perform.

One of the biggest names in the big band era, Glenn Miller, also left an im-

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Norah Jones’ “Day Breaks,” released on Blue Note records.

Review: Jones’ sixth album is her jazziest since her award-winning debut. But while “Come Away With Me” was brimming with love songs, “Day Breaks” goes deeper and darker. Jones tackles the tense national

pression on the area. He attended the University of Colorado in Boulder in 1923 and played in clubs around Denver before dropping out of the university to pursue music fulltime.

Today, Denver is home to such jazz clubs as Dazzle on Capitol Hill and El Chapultepec on Market Street, which are great places to experience live jazz.

“Live jazz is amazing, because you’re able to see and hear people create music on the spot,” Bouton said. “Jazz is always changing, and I can’t wait to hear what the music sounds like in six years.”

In a world with so many musical options at one’s fingertips, getting young people interested in jazz is one of the genre’s biggest challenges. Since its creation, hip-hop has been inspiring new generations of jazz investigators, and artists like Kendrick Lamar, Chance the Rapper and Oddisee are blending jazz

climate in songs like “Flipside” and “Tragedy,” and her compositions call to mind Charles Mingus and Thelonious Monk. Few vocalists, jazz or otherwise, bring the same warmth and melancholy to their music.

Favorite song: “Once I Had A Laugh” Best song for our troubled times: “Peace”

and hip-hop in new, inventive ways.

To help keep jazz alive, Bouton and the orchestra work with Youth on Record, a nonprofit that partners with the local music community, public schools, housing authorities and philanthropic organizations to ensure high-risk young people graduate high school ready to enter college or the workforce.

“We’re building an audience one person at a time,” Bouton said. “We play music at such a high level, and that’s the way it should be played.”

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

A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he has been a jazz fan since hearing Miles Davis in seventh grade. Check out his music blog at calmacil20.blogspot. com. And share your favorite jazz music at creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

about 40 schools throughout the area, and about 550 kids are taking part this fall, Levi said. She serves as a team mentor at Northridge Elementary School in Highlands Ranch, where 70 kids are in the club.

“It’s really fun to see these kids and their love of running,” she said.

Making exercise fun is key to keeping kids interested in it, according to the Roadrunners Club of America, a national association of running organizations.

To that end, Hill’s running club at Runyon isn’t just about running in circles. The kids warm up with an interval run and then play a runningfocused game, like tag. The kids then take part in two “fun runs” per year, with those in third, fourth and fifth grades running one mile and younger kids running half a mile. The one in the spring is a cross country course.

“It’s fun,” Hill said, “to get them a taste of jumping over rocks and running through trees.”

WHAT IS CHILDHOOD OBESITY? Generally, a child is not obese until he or she is at least 10 percent heavier than the recommended weight for his or her height and body type, according to Kids Running America, a Parker-based organization that encourages running during childhood.

Obesity most commonly begins at age 5 or 6 or during adolescence, and a child who is obese between the ages of 10 and 13 has an 80

percent chance of being overweight or obese as an adult, Kids Running America said.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, childhood obesity rates have shown small improvements, but the level of healthy-weight children is “far from ideal.”

AAP recommends that all children receive at least one hour of physical activity per day.

Moscow Jazz Orchestra coming to Lone Tree Arts center to host Igor Butman group

Members of The Moscow Jazz Orchestra surround their conductor, saxophonist Igor Butman. The band will perform at Lone Tree Arts Center on Oct. 19.

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Saxophone virtuoso Igor Butman will bring his Moscow Jazz Orchestra on a return visit to the Lone Tree Arts Center at 7:30 p.m.

Oct. 19 for a concert of Big Band music featuring 16 musicians performing American standards and Russian jazz numbers.

Butman, born in St. Petersburg in 1961, started playing the clarinet at age 11, but switched to jazz saxophone a year after he entered the Rimsky-Korsakov College of Music. His online bio says he also “took unofficial lessons from nightly radio broadcasts of jazz from 11:15 to midnight on Voice of America.” In 1987, he emigrated to America and majored in performance and composition at Berklee College of Music in Boston.

He was already acquainted with some of America’s important jazz artists after being invited to play with them when they were on tour in Russia. Included: Dave Brubeck, Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, Gary Burton, Louis Bellson and Grover Washington Jr. Washington took Butman “under his wing”

and had him play as guest artist with his band in concert and in the recording studio.

Butman moved to New York in 1989, worked with the Lionel Hampton Orchestra, released a solo album in 1993 and performed at major jazz festivals in the U.S. He then returned to Russia, forming his big band orchestra,

but stayed in touch with American jazz contacts, bringing them to perform in Russia. When Wynton Marsalis played in Russia, he invited Butman to perform with his band. This is a connection that lasted — with Butman’s band performing with Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York and Marsalis appearing on a Butman jazz

South metro brewers hold their own Breweries from area are well-represented at Great American Beer Fest

By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Last year, 3 Freaks Brewery brought its staple beers to the Great American Beer Festival.

But last week, the Highlands Ranch brewery showed off a different side.

“This year,” brewer Jess Anderson said, “we brought our fun, experimental beers.”

That would be, for instance, the Lloyd Christmas Peppermint Chocolate Porter, named for the “Dumb and Dumber” character.

3 Freaks Brewery was among a bevy of breweries from Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Lone Tree, Castle Rock and Parker that participated in the Great American Beer Festival, held Oct. 6-8 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver.

About 800 brewers from across the country, including more than 100 from Colorado, took part.

For some of the newer breweries in the area, the festival was a chance to get exposure to beer drinkers who may not know of the options south of Denver.

“Our green chile has probably been the most popular,” said Andy Nelson, co-owner of Lovaore Beer Works of Littleton.

He was referring to the brewery’s Heisenberg Green Chile Pale Ale. It was the third year at the festival for Grist Brewing Com-

The experience was helpful for letting people know about south metro area breweries, Steve Nolan, of Grist, said. “It’s always fun here.”

One of Grist’s more unusual offerings, the Ponche de Burro, proved popular. The cinnamonapple-pear beer is a perfect offering for early fall, Nolan noted.

At Living the Dream Brewing’s table, Jerod Scott of the Highlands Ranch brewery said the Belgian raspberry ale was most popular.

But not all popular beers at the festival were outside of the norm.

Jeff Scharlau of Lone Tree Brewing Company said the Hop Zombie India Pale Ale was a favorite.

And at Littleton’s 38 State Brewing Company, general manager Steve Schuett said its red and brown ales were among the most well-received.

Jeff Scharlau of Lone Tree Brewing Company said the brewery’s Hop Zombie IPA proved popular at Great American Beer Festival. “It’s super-hoppy. It’s a big beer,” he said.

Renaissance art visits Denver Exhibit shows how city’s distinctive styles changed

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com

About 50 paintings are beautifully installed in the Gallagher Gallery on the first floor of the Denver Art Museum in a new exhibit called “The Glory of Venice: Masterworks of the Renaissance.” Of these, 19 came from the Gallerie dell’Accademia in Venice, one rare Giorgione painting from the Scuola Grande di San Rocco in Venice, several from the Denver Art Museum’s collection and others from museums in Europe and the United States, including the North Carolina Museum of Arts, where the exhibit will travel in February.

From 1450 into the early 1500s, Venetian Renaissance art developed rapidly into the treasure trove it is today, displaying a distinctive light and brilliant use of color.

Family hopes service dog will help diabetic boy Community helps raise money toward $25,000 goal

By Jessica Gibbs jgibbs@coloradocommunitymedia.com Christian Dana ran to his mother on a recent afternoon, excited to tell her the coffee shop they were in had sugar-free candies.

It’s a big deal to the 7-year-old who has to count every sugar and carb he eats.

Christian was diagnosed with Type I diabetes in April 2015.

“You never imagine it to be your own child,” his mother, Tara, said. “I would have done everything that day to trade spots with him.”

Now, Christian never eats anything without checking the label. He wears a pump to control his insulin. He pricks his finger eight to 10 times a day to check his blood sugar.

And he does it like a pro: The boy with a sheepish yet ornery smile whips out a testing strip. He pricks his finger, gives it a squeeze to push out the blood and then takes the sample. Not even a wince.

Soon, the Dana family hopes that monitoring Christian’s diabetes will become easier through the help of a service dog.

They are approximately halfway to their $25,000 fundraising goal.

Through scent, service dogs can alert a person when blood sugar is getting too high or too low.

The Danas are working with Service Dogs by Warren Retrievers, a nonprofit that provides service dogs to families, along with trainers to help them transition the dog into their daily lives.

Testing his blood sugar is the first thing Christian does when he wakes up each day. It’s the last thing he does before going to sleep around 9 p.m. each night. Sometimes, on a bad day, Tara wakes up around midnight to check it again.

However, Tara worries he may becomes less meticulous as he grows older. A dog by his side would give him a safety net, she said, and give her peace of mind.

HOW TO HELP The Dana family is raising $25,000 to buy a service dog that would alert Christian as to whether his blood sugar is too high or too low.

They are working with Service Dogs by Warren Retrievers (SDWR), a nonprofit that provides service dogs to families.

So far, the family has raised about half of the amount needed. If you want to help, go to www. sdwr.donatedrive.com and search for “Tara Dana.”

The community has already gathered around the family. 105 West Brewing Co. in Castle Rock dedicated the month of August to Christian’s cause, Tara said, and pulled in $3,000.

An event organized by Christian’s Cub Scout pack raised $3,300 in one day. A rummage sale, held at First United Methodist church on Aug. 13, took weeks of planning but brought a profit that was well worth it.

Vanessa Cogswell, the fundraising chair and treasurer for Cub Scout Pack 261, said community support was huge, particularly in way of donations and event turnout.

“When we finally presented Christian the check, Christian was crying, and some of the other boys got emotional, too,” she said, “because they’ve all been friends for so long.”

The Cub Scout Pack was proud. The club had expected to raise, maybe, $1,000.

The day’s proceeds more than exceeded their expectations.

Both Cogswell and Tara are brainstorming more fundraisers to help bring the donations up to the $25,000 goal. The family also has a donation page set up through the nonprofit’s website.

Tara hopes the process will raise awareness about service dogs and their ability to assist diabetic persons. She also hopes to give Christian some comfort as he lives with his disease.

“I give him a lot of credit for what he goes through at a young age,” she said. “I want to give him something out of this.”

Improvements planned for Backcountry

HRCA seeking input for amenities on open land

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunity

The Highlands Ranch Community Association is planning for improvements in the Backcountry Wilderness Area, a stretch of 8,200 acres of open land southwest of the community. The potential improvements — which include a covered pavilion, ropes course, horse facility, archery range and additional trails — will make up approximately 20 acres.

“These are preliminary plans,” Backcountry Wilderness Area Director Mark Giebel said at a Backcountry Q&A session at Westridge Recreation Center on Oct. 6.

“We are drawing bubbles on a map — the next step will be drawing buildings on a map.”

The Backcountry Planning Areas Com-

mittee, a group of six volunteers who evaluated information from community surveys on the land in years past, presented the recommendations last year to the HRCA Board of Directors and delegates, who represent Highlands Ranch neighborhoods.

The HRCA is now developing a conceptual plan, which includes choosing one of five locations in the Backcountry. A bylaw states that the project must have approval from delegates.

Delegate Jim Allen, also on the Backcountry Planning Areas, said more people should be familiar with what is in the Backcountry.

“We are trying to get the word out,” he said, “bring more people out of their homes and into the outdoors.”

The Backcountry’s western border is Sante Fe Drive. Its eastern border is Monarch Boulevard. Hearth Subdivision sits on the north. And the Cherokee Ranch & Castle, off Daniels Parkway, sits on the south.

It’s home to native plants and animals,

including elk, mule deer, bears, birds of all species and more. It has more than 20 miles of natural surface trails for mountain biking, hiking and trail running. Outdoor programs include nature hikes, day camps, hunting and horseback riding.

Backcountry staff maintains the land by completing habitat restoration and improvement projects, managing harmful weeds, and monitoring vegetation and wildlife patterns, all of which requires money.

“The purpose of development is to produce revenue to further protect, manage and enhance the rest of the property,” Giebel said.

At an Oct. 6 open house, some residents expressed concern over development in the Backcountry.

“I like the idea of more amenities,” said Rachel Walker, who lives in the Firelight subdivision north of the Backcountry. “I don’t want to see an increase in traffic.”

The six locations are in the northeast corner of the Backcountry, between Griggs

Road and Monarch Boulevard. Giebel said he understands that traffic is a concern and that it will ultimately be a topic of discussion with Douglas County.

Some residents support the additional amenities.

Northridge resident Karl Archuleta said he likes the recommendation of additional trails. He mountain bikes a couple of times a week during the summer and fall. He’s also a ride leader for the Highlands Ranch composite mountain biking team, which has gained popularity in recent years.

Trails provide an opportunity for everyone to get outside, he said.

“The philosophy of mountain bikers is we are out here to share,” he said. “We emphasize respect for hikers and horses.

We would love to see longer trails.”

The HRCA is seeking input from the community on the recommendations, Giebel said. He expects building to begin in 2019 or 2020.

“It’s a long process,” he said at the Q&A session.

County offers cone-zone tool Douglas County has developed an online tool to help motorists become aware of, plan for and navigate around cone zones before they get on the road.

NearMeDC — an website for traffic notifications, building permit information and other community resources in the county — now has a cone zone feature that notifies a commuter of road construction and improvements.

The cone zone tool allows a motorist to identify one or more areas within the county through which he or she travels, subscribe to and then receive notifications specific to those areas via email or text.

Road construction, utility projects, community events and more in areas of Douglas County, Castle Pines, Castle Rock, Lone Tree and Parker data are included in the Ne-

arMeDC cone zone tool.

“Along the journey to improved road surfaces and creating more capacity on the road, construction is unavoidable,” Douglas County Commissioner and Board Chair Dave Weaver said in a media release. “It is our hope that NearMeDC will become a popular travel-planning tool and make life easier during the road construction season and all year long.”

Users may also search for or subscribe to receive notifications of building permits, senior services or other community services in their area of choice within Douglas County using NearMeDC. To sign up, visit douglascounty-citygram.herokuapp.com.

Public input from the residential and business community regarding recommendations for additional data on NearMeDC is welcome. To make a suggestion, contact Douglas County at opendata@douglas.co.us.

Mountain Vista threat suspects’ cases move forward Court hearings set for the end of October

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunity Ten months after her arrest for allegedly making a violent threat against Mountain Vista High School last December, a District Court judge on Oct. 5 set a date

later this month to schedule court proceedings against one of the two female students involved in the case.

Brooke Higgins, now 17, was not present in the Douglas County courtroom Oct. 5. Defense attorneys Iris Eytan and Kathleen Mcguire represented Higgins, whose parents were in the room.

After discussion between the prosecution team and the defense counsel, Judge Paul King scheduled a status hearing for Oct. 18, at which dates for further court proceedings will be set. Those proceedings include a hearing to transfer Higgins’ case from adult to juvenile court, a preliminary hearing and a bond hearing.

Eytan emphasized moving forward quickly, noting that 10 months is a long time for the teen to be held in a juvenile detention center.

“Ten months is 10 months too long,” she said, adding that Higgins’ parents have visited her almost every day.

Higgins and Sienna Johnson were arrested after a student reported through Text-A-Tip to the Douglas County Sherriff’s Office a threat to harm Mountain Vista students and staff during the week of Dec. 14.

Johnson will appear in court Oct. 21.

Johnson and Higgins, both sophomores at the time of arrest, were charged in January as adults with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder with extreme indifference and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder after deliberation.

The prosecution team said Johnson was a threat to herself and the community because of a detailed map she created in her journal that allegedly outlined where the largest number of students would be at certain times of the school day. Prosecutors also said Johnson purchased a BB gun to practice shooting and attempted to purchase weapons.

Higgins wrote in her journal that she wished she could have taken part in the 1999 Columbine High

S

School shootings, prosecutors said. She searched websites to explore the possibility of purchasing guns, and phone records revealed texts warning a friend to leave the high school when told, according to prosecutors.

After several court hearings, petitions were filed on behalf of both girls to the Colorado Supreme Court, arguing the use of psychological exams. The cases had been on hold since March. But the Colorado Supreme Court released a ruling on Oct. 8, in which it agreed with Johnson’s petition and declined to answer to Higgins’.

Higgins’ petition stated that the district court erred in declining to suppress a psychological examination conducted in accordance with a magistrate’s order.

The Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling did not answer Higgins’ request, calling it hypothetical and stating that Higgins consented to a psychological evaluation while represented by counsel. That counsel, including attorney Dagny Van Der Jagt, no longer represents Higgins.

Johnson’s petition argued the district court erred in determining that Johnson waived all privileges to her mental health records when she disputed adult court and requested a transfer to juvenile court. Her petition also said the district court erred in requiring Johnson to submit to a psychological examination by a state doctor.

The Colorado Supreme Court sided with Johnson, stating her request for a reverse transfer hearing did not constitute a waiver of her privilege. The reverse transfer statute only requires that the trial court consider mental health records “made available,” the ruling said.

The Supreme Court also agreed with Johnson in that the trial court lacked authority to order her to submit to a state-administered mental health evaluation because of her juvenile status.

Player living a sweet dream

Rock Canyon players celebrate after winning a point in a Oct. 4 Continental League match against ThunderRidge. The Jaguars are the No. 1 Class 5A team in the state, according to the CHSAANow.com poll, with a 14-1 overall record and 7-0 in the Continental League. Photo by Jim Benton

Jaguars keep winning games Top-ranked Rock Canyon eyes final four regular season matches

By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Rock Canyon has been having fun this season and winning volleyball matches.

The Jaguars, Colorado’s No. 1 Class 5A team according to the CHSAANow.com poll, notched a Continental League 3-0 (25-11, 2514 and 25-17) over ThunderRidge on Oct. 4 at the Rock Canyon gym.

Rock Canyon followed on Oct. 6 with a 3-1 (25-22, 25-21, 22-25, 2520) triumph over Chaparral, which also entered the match unbeaten in

KEEPING SCORE WITH...

SYDNEY MARCHANDO , Senior softball, diving track athlete hool Rock Canyon High Sc

What is your favorite movie?

My favorite movie is “Monsters Inc.” because it’s such a cute and funny movie and Mike Wazowski is my favorite Pixar character.

What is your favorite pre-competition meal?

My favorite food in general is pizza, so that’s probably my favorite meal before games too. I also like chocolate chip pancakes before games.

the league.

With the two victories, Rock Canyon improved to 14-1 overall and 7-0 in the Continental League.

“What helps them click and play the best is when they have fun and don’t take things too seriously,” said Rock Canyon coach Angela NylundHanson. “When we start games too nervous and freaked out, we kind of slow down. So we have to keep the fun on the court and support each other and that’s what makes us play the best.

“As a coach, how I do it, is that I can’t get too intense,” she continued. “I try to keep it light, I try to keep the huddles light, I don’t yell when I’m on the bench, I stay encouraging as much as I can.”

Junior outside hitter Keeley Davis grins when asked about the team

Who is your favorite professional or collegiate athlete (past or present)?

My favorite athlete is definitely Carlos Gonzalez. The Rockies are my favorite Major League Baseball team, and since I’m an outfielder too, he’s definitely my favorite player for them, and I have a life-size poster of him in my room.

having fun.

“We’re a very funny team” said Davis. “We all crack jokes, and whenever someone is down, we crack a joke and they usually smile.

And that’s when they get their hopes up.”

Davis leads the team with 214 kills on the season and a 41 kill percentage. Lacey Zadra and Davis are one-two in blocks with 26 and 24.

Riley Bradbury is the Jaguars’ leader with 176 digs and Skylar Lane is tops with 510 assists.

Davis is the only junior on the team that has eight seniors, a sophomore and freshman.

“They’ve been playing together for a really long time so they kind of know each other and that helps on Volleyball continues on Page 29

 William Willis, football, senior, Lutheran: Willis went 20-26-3 for 248 yards and three touchdowns in the Lions’ 35-8 West Metro League win over Alameda on Oct. 7.

Why do you participate in sports?

I participate in sports because I love being a part of a team, and I love the competition. Being able to see where hard work can take me is something that’s very satisfying and makes all the hard practices and early mornings worth it in the end.

 KJ Phillips, football, senior, Chaparral: He scored two TDs and rushed for 233 yards on 28 carries in the Wolverines’ 28-14 Mount Evans League triumph over Cherokee Trail.

What are your plans for after high school graduation?

After high school, I am planning on attending Colorado School of Mines to play softball, and I want to major in chemical and biological engineering with a minor in bioengineering and life sciences.

I’m sure Judd Erickson sometimes feels like he is sauntering away from a sweet dream when he walks off the football field.

Erickson is Mountain Vista’s Jim Benton senior quarterback in the OVERTIME Golden Eagles’ spread, hurryup offense. He throws an average of 41 passes a game.

He leads Class 5A quarterbacks with an impressive 2,168 yards and 23 touchdowns. He played only the first half in Vista’s 46-0 romp over Aurora Hinkley on Oct. 7 at Aurora Public Schools Stadium, but still passed for 205 yards and three TDs. “It’s amazing,” Erickson said. “I mean every quarterback dreams of it and with the skilled receivers we have and the offensive line that can hold up in pass pro(protection), it’s unreal.”

The 6-foot-4, 205 pounder who still hasn’t drawn a lot of attention from college recruiters, credits the coaching staff and his teammates for his success this season. Still, he did pass for 2,174 yards in the 2015 season with 20 TDs. Vista offensive coordinator TJ Rubley illuminated that Erickson is bigger and stronger so his arm strength is up probably 30 percent.

He’s running the offense better and is more comfortable in the pocket. ”He gets to throw the ball a lot but he has to get us in the right play,” said Rubley, who was a quarterback at the University of Tulsa and was on five pro teams, including the Denver Broncos. “If he doesn’t have those abilities, he doesn’t get the ability to throw the ball.

“He has to have accuracy. He’s throwing a lot with five in the box.

This isn’t easy football. A majority of his yards have come against difficult coverages.”

Erickson, who could pass for 3,600 yards if he continues at his current pace, claims that running the offense isn’t hard.

“It’s not too difficult,” he said.

“There are a lot of calls on me but our offensive coordinator is incredible and prepares me well each week, so I know what I’m going to see. He makes it easy for me.”

Fundraising for McKee family The Highlands Ranch football family and friends raised $1,663 and the Highlands Ranch TD club contributed another $500 to help support the McKee family for their injured son.

Dylan McKee was a former Highlands Ranch football player who is now a freshman on the Concordia football team. He was injured in an automobile accident along with four other Bulldogs freshman players on Oct. 2 near

Mullen cracks Valor softball’s winning streak Softball teams across state head into regional playoff action

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Valor Christian’s softball team got a wake-up call a week before state playoffs begin.

Mullen, ranked third in the CSHAANow. com Class 4A poll, snapped the 33-game winning streak of the top-ranked Eagles with a 4-3 win in the regular-season finale Oct. 8 on the Mustangs’ field.

Eight regional, four-team state playoff regional tournaments in Class 3A, 4A and 5A will take place Oct. 15 with two teams from each region advancing to the state tournament, which will be held Oct. 21-22 at the Aurora Sports Complex.

Valor, the two-time defending Class 4A state champions, has gone 65-3 over three seasons, and the Eagles feel comfortable taking one loss in the state tournament, which they have done the past two seasons

“Last year we lost one game in the regular season and came back,” said Valor coach Dave Atencio. “Same thing two years ago. They will bounce back. This loss wakes us up a little bit and refocuses us. And, it was great timing with the state regional tournaments starting.”

The top eight teams, according to the RPI standings, earned host roles for the regional tournaments.

In Class 5A, Douglas County, Legend and Arvada West earned the right to play host to a regional tournament. Douglas County will hold the Region 4 tournament at the Metzler complex in Castle Rock and the Region 6 tourney hosted by Legend will be the Salisbury fields in Parker.

In the opening pairings, 16th-seeded Legacy (13-6-0) will face No. 17 Castle View (11-7-1) in the Region 1 tournament at Broomfield High School. Cherry Creek, seeded 25th with a 9-10-0 record, will take on No. 8 and host Loveland (13-6-0) in the Region 2 tournament at the Barnes Softball Complex in Loveland.

No. 12 Ralston Valley (11-7-0) will meet No. 21 Mountain Vista (12-7-0) in the Re-

gion 3 tourney hosted by Eaglecrest at the Aurora Sports Park. The Region 4 tournament has first-round games pitting No. 4 Douglas County (15-4-0) against No. 29 Horizon (8-11-0) and No. 20 Rock Canyon (10-9-0) going against No. 13 Prairie View (16-3-0).

Sixth-seeded Legend (14-4-1) will face No. 27 Smoky Hill (11-8-0) in the Region 6 tournament while the Region 7 tourney finds No. 28 and defending 5A champion Mountain Range (10-9-0) challenging No. 7 Arvada West (13-5-1) in an opening contest. No. 18 ThunderRidge (13-6-0) travels to Grand Junction and will play No. 16 Fort Collins (12-7-0) to begin Region 8 action.

Valor reserved Aurora Sports Park for the Region 5 Class 4A tournament. The Eagles, seeded third with an 18-1-0 record, will play No. 30 Pueblo East (7-12-0). No. 19 D’Evelyn will face No. 14 Pueblo Central (12-7-0) in the other opening game.

Fifth-seed Wheat Ridge (13-6-0) faces No. 28 Pueblo Centennial (6-12-1) as host for Region 3 and No. 16 Golden (14-5-0) faces the challenge of playing No. 17 Ber-

thoud (12-7-0) in the Region 1, Class 4A tourney in Erie.

Advancing to the state playoffs was an accomplishment for Arvada. The Bulldogs are 11-8-0 this season and the most wins Arvada managed in a single season over the previous seven years was six.

Arvada, seeded No. 29, plays No. 4 Pueblo West (15-3-0) in the Region 4 tourney at Runyon Field in Pueblo and No. 22 Ponderosa (9-10-0) will open against No. 11 Frederick (12-7-0) in the Region 6 event hosted by Mountain View at the Barnes Softball Complex in Loveland. No. 23 Holy Family (11-8-0) meets No. 10 Air Academy (14-4-0) in the Region 7 meet at Garden Acres Park in Longmont.

Twenty-four teams qualifyied for the Class 3A playoffs and No. 14 Faith Christian (10-9-0) plays No. 19 St. Mary’s (10-90) in the Region 3 tournament, while No. 7 The Academy (15-4-0) will be at home to play the winner of the Cedaredge-Akron game in the Region 7 tournament.

Two fields must be available for a school to host a regional tournament so all the sites have yet to be determined.

the court,” admitted NylundHanson.

Rock Canyon has the toughest part of its league schedule in front of it with an Oct. 18 game against Ponderosa, an Oct. 25 date with Mountain Vista and a regular season finale Oct. 27 at Highlands Ranch. The Jaguars also have an Oct. 22 non-league match against Columbine.

Rock Canyon has a week off because of fall break and the three Continental opponents remaining on the Jaguars schedule have a combined 12-3 league record and 26-15 overall mark. Mountain Vista and Highlands Ranch are unbeaten in league play.

“Our biggest league matches are coming up,” said Nylund-Hanson.

“We have played Highlands Ranch once and that was our only loss (3-0 on Sept. 9) of the season. The girls are pretty level-headed. It was exciting at first to be top-ranked, but now they are just focusing on what they have to do.

“They know we have a lot of hard matches ahead of us. Being No. 1 doesn’t win you anything and you have a target on your back.”

Davis, however, likes playing as the state’s top-ranked team and knows the upcoming schedule is tough. ”It’s pretty awesome,” she said.

“We worked really hard for this and we’re ready for state. The schedule is going to bring us a lot of competition and we’ll have to bring our A game. We’re all excited about it. We’re kind of nervous but we are ready to go after it.”

Surprise, Nebraska.

McKee was still in intensive care last weekend after his second surgery but was improving. He is expected to recover.

McKee’s brother Hunter is a senior linebacker on the Falcons football team this season and youngest sibling TJ is a freshman player at Highlands Ranch.

Parents Larry and Kelly McKee have been with Dylan since the accident, but Larry returned home briefly to watch the Highlands Ranch game Oct. 7 against Lakewood.

Board passes on basketball mercy rule The Colorado High School Activities Association’s Board of Directors passed on a decision about the mercy rule to the basketball committee.

So there will be no mercy rule for boys and girls basketball this season, which would have created a running clock if a team was ahead by 40 points in the fourth quarter.

Since the Board of Directors didn’t vote on the mercy proposal, the basketball committee will discuss the merits and disadvantages of the mercy rule during its Feb. 7 meeting.

If a mercy rule is approved and included in the basketball committee report, then the Legislative Committee would have to approve the decision.

HAVE A SPORTS STORY IDEA? Junior Keeley Davis delivers a kill during Rock Canyon’s 3-0 Continental League win over ThunderRidge on Oct. 4. Davis leads the team with 193 kills and a 41.4 kill percentage. The Jaguars are the top ranked Class 5A team in the state according to the CHSAANow.com poll and have compiled a 14-1 overall and 7-0 Continental League records. Photo by Jim Benton

Bringing outer space to the auditorium Dr. Leroy Chiao shares message of passion and courage with students

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Students at Pine Lane Elementary enjoyed a presentation by a stellar speaker on Oct.3, capped off with a unique slideshow and an inspiring message.

Dr. Leroy Chiao, a NASA veteran of four missions that included six spacewalks and a total of 229 days in orbit, spoke to Pine Lane’s kindergartners, elementary students and staff, sharing a theme of perseverance, passion and peace.

“I was 8 when my dream started, so it’s always energizing to be around young people,” Chiao said.

Chiao covered subjects familiar to the children — getting enough sleep and eating nutritious food — but he went on to cover other, more personal topics.

His parents immigrated to the United States from China and decided to raise Chiao in Milwaukee, a more diverse community than the ones immigrants often chose. Though he was glad his parents

Dr. Leroy Chiao, a former astronaut who spent 229 days in space during his NASA career, talks to students at Pine Lane Elementary on Oct. 3. Chiao told students to find their passion and have the courage to pursue it. Photo by Tom Skelley picked Milwaukee, growing up in the area in the 1960s wasn’t always easy.

“I was the only kid who looked different, I was the only person who was small,” Chiao

said.

Chiao told the children the bullying he faced only strengthened his resolve to do “something important.” He compared the experience to judo, a martial art based on finding a way to use an opponent’s energy against them.

“I was taking that negativity and using it for something, a positive I wanted to create,” he said.

The message resonated with Katie Ketter, a 10-year-old fifth grader at Pine Lane.

“A lot of people have made fun of me, I don’t even know why,” Ketter said. “When he was talking about being bullied I was thinking ‘I get this.’ It made me feel better to know that I’m not the only one.”

Passion and courage were the other qualities Chiao discussed with the students.

Watching the moon landing on television in 1969 stirred Chiao’s dream of space exploration. He encouraged the students to hone in on what inspired them most, whatever it may be.

“Space isn’t my passion,” said 11-year-old sixth grader Elena Coons. “I already have it in my mind that I want to be an artist.

Seeing that he was able to accomplish his dream made me think I might be able to do it.”

The students may have thought Chiao was brave to orbit the Earth at 17,500 miles per hour, but Chiao said it took more courage to stick with his dream of becoming an astronaut.

“Nothing is easy,” Chiao said, telling of the years of hard work he put in, and the skepticism he endured from his peers, as he worked toward his dream.

“Find that inner lion,” he said. “Erase your fears and don’t give up.”

Chiao has been speaking to school-age children for 16 years. After retiring from NASA he co-founded OneOrbit, and he spends his time with the company presenting motivational workshops to corporations as well as giving motivating educational programs to schools.

Corporate engagements may pay better, but the feedback Chiao gets from his younger audiences is priceless.

“Over the years, I’ll get a note or an email that says `when I was in third or fourth grade you came to my class,’” Chiao said. “‘Now I’m doing A, B or C and it’s because you came and gave us that inspiring message.’”

It may be a decade or two before Chiao gets such a note from a Pine Lane student, but he’ll be checking his inbox.

Those agencies are Catholic Charities, Douglas/ Elbert Task Force, Parker Task Force and Southeast Christian Outreach (SECOR) in Parker.

How to volunteer: Those interested in volunteering, who are not members of a participating church, can email wintershelternetwork@gmail.com for more information.

A wakeup call comes at 6 a.m., everyone eats breakfast and checks out by 7 a.m.

Churches coming together to serve and love the community is what they are called to do, Polhemus said. And he believes future partnerships will follow.

“I just believe this is really the start,” he said. “We’re going to see a lot more come out of this as we begin to operate in this mode.” Public Notice
