Bowling building bigger, ‘better’

Brunswick Zone XL reopens as Bowlero Lone Tree

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Teens, families and organizers have a new venue for their evenings, parties and events as the Brunswick Zone XL bowling alley has reopened under the name Bowlero Lone Tree.

“We’re planning on being a premiere destination for everything from kids’ birthday parties to corporate events,” said Lauren Donley, regional sales and marketing manager for Bowlmor AMF. “We view ourselves as a great entertainment and night life destination.”

The restructuring is part of a strategy by the parent company, Bowlmor AMF, owner of the Brunswick and Bowlero brands. The Lone Tree location at 9255 Kimmer Drive is Colorado’s first Bowlero, already successful in Texas and California.

The multimillion-dollar renovation contains technology upgrades such as kiosks at each of the 48 lanes for bowlers to order food and drinks and lane-length video

A $2 million grant from Great Outdoors Colorado — which invests a portion of Colorado Lottery proceeds in state parks, trails, wildlife, rivers and open spaces — will complete a regional trail project that began in 1986 in Highlands Ranch to create a connection through Lone Tree to Parker.

The extension will finish the East-West Regional Trail between Redstone Community Park in Highlands Ranch and the Cherry Creek Regional Trail in the Town of Parker, but also open hundreds of miles in trail use throughout the state, said Randy Burkhardt, assistant director of Parks and Trails with Douglas County, which started the regional trail project in 1986.

The grant, awarded to Douglas County in conjunction with the Town of Parker, builds an eight-mile segment from Lone Tree to Parker, marking the final phase of an approximate 30mile construction project that began in 2002, Burkhardt said.

“It ties all of northern Douglas County together,” he said. “But on a grander scale, through various trail systems, it actually ties Denver to Durango.”

The grant is one of six awarded in the first phase of funding under Great Outdoors Colorado’s new “Connect Initiative” program, which seeks to close trails gaps throughout the state.

It plans to invest $30 million in closing state trail gaps over the next three years.

The Town of Castle Rock is one of the other recipients: A $1 million grant will extend the town’s East Plum Creek Trail system by two miles. To date, it is the largest Great Outdoors Colorado Grant the town has received.

Pros and cons of ColoradoCare debated Littleton church hosts forum for voters to learn about proposed single-payer health care system

T b a

By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Laurie Bendell attended the recent debate at a Littleton church over Amendment 69, hoping to learn more about the citizen initiative that would amend the state constitution to establish a universal health care system called ColoradoCare.

She has concerns about it being a constitutional amendment.

“It sounds good,” the Littleton resident said, “but we’re stuck with it.”

With ballots already mailed to voters and due at drop-off locations on Nov. 8, Amendment 69 remains a confusing issue to many voters.

The amendment would create a statewide government-run health care system for anyone with a primary residence in Colorado.

Left-leaning groups that typically might be relied upon to support universal health care, such as Progress Now Colorado, NARAL and Planned Parenthood, have opposed the amendment, citing concerns about abortion access, joining various chambers of commerce and business groups and the Colorado Medical Society. Support for Amendment 69 includes The League of Women Voters of Colorado, National Nurses United and the Public Health Nurses Association of Colorado.

Dr. Ellen Lewis, a Denver child psychiatrist and member of the ColoradoCareYes committee, and Freddie Guadet of the anti-Amendment 69 committee Coloradans for Coloradans, squared off at Littleton’s Holy Trinity Lutheran Church on Oct. 17 to debate the initiative and answer questions.

“I’ve been wanting to see something like this for years,” Lewis said, calling the

Freddie Gaudet, right, of anti-Amendment 69 group Coloradans for Coloradans, addresses the crowd during a debate on the universal health care initiative at Littleton’s Holy Trinity Lutheran Church on Oct. 18. Dr. Ellen Lewis, left, of ColoradoCareYes, argued in favor of the proposal. Photo by Kyle Harding campaign a “people’s movement.”

Gaudet reminded the audience that because Amendment 69 is proposed as a constitutional amendment, it would be exempt from TABOR requirements and changes to correct problems could only be done by a vote of the people rather than in the Legislature.

“There’s no fixer bill next year,” he said.

Amendment 69 would be paid for by new income taxes of 3.33 percent on employees and 6.67 percent on employers. Those who are self-employed would be responsible for all 10 percent, Gaudet said.

The program would eventually be governed by an elected 21-member board of trustees, though it will first be administered by an interim 15-member board appointed by state legislative leadership and the governor.

According to a September poll conducted by Magellan Strategies, the amendment is unlikely to pass. The poll of 500 likely voters found only 27 percent support, with 65 percent opposing and 8 percent undecided.

The risks of Amendment 69, Gaudet said, include the possibility of the program costing more than the new taxes would generate. He said that ColoradoCare may not be able to pay well enough to attract new doctors.

“Most big-government programs run over budget,” he said.

Much of the opposition is coming from the medical insurance industry, said Lewis, who added that despite the tax, Amendment 69 would result in savings for most Coloradans.

“They’re putting millions of dollars to defeat us,” she said of the insurers.

Lewis compared the measure to

School board at stalemate after vote on new member

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County Board of Education member David Ray said the election of a new board member is an opportunity to show the community the directors can “find common ground.”

Instead, they have found another disagreement.

The divided board of education was unable to elect a new member to represent District E during its meeting Oct.18 after a series of gridlocked votes and discussion. The position was vacated by Doug Benevento, whose resignation was effective Sept. 8.

Of the six who interviewed, four candidates were nominated: • Steve Peck, of Highlands Ranch, a former officer in the Navy who works as a health care executive at UCHealth Anschutz.

• Deborah O’Dell, of Highlands Ranch, vice president of business intelligence at the Catholic Health Initiative.

• Bob Kaser, of Castle Pines, a retiree who worked as the regional vice president for America’s Cash Express and is a Vietnam veteran.

• John Freeman, of Highlands Ranch, a retiree who worked as a central office administrator at Jefferson County Public Schools in Louisville, Kentucky.

Candidates to represent the district — which encompasses Lone Tree, Acres Green, Castle Pines and eastern Highlands Ranch — were nominated and then voted on individually. All four finished two rounds of voting with 3-3 ties. A candidate needs a 4-2 majority to be selected for the position.

The three board members who have largely opposed the school district’s reform measures of the past several years each supported a different candidate during the meeting. David Ray nominated Kaser, Wendy Vogel nominated Freeman and Anne-Marie Lemieux nominated O’Dell.

Meanwhile, the three pro-reform board members were in agreement on their choice. Board President Meghann Silverthorn, Vice President Judith Reynolds and board member James Geddes supported Peck for the position.They pointed to the fact that he has a young family and a different background from other board members as positive attributes.

Peck’s candidacy faced opposition from Ray, Vogel and Lemieux, who voiced concern about his lack of familiarity with the district, general opposition to new tax measures for district funding and community concern about his involvement with the

program Leadership Group of the Rockies, which they said is politically partisan and would be divisive to the community.

“What you’re doing is you’re saying to everybody that picking somebody that shares your particular point of view, your particular political ideology, is more important than coming together,” Vogel said.

Silverthorn defended the program, saying it is a leadership-training program that promotes freedom and liberty and said the members of the board who said it was as an issue don’t fully understand what it is.

“They don’t know what its goals are,” Silverthorn said. “They don’t understand that it is not a partisan organization by law. It does not advocate for political campaigns.

It does not advocate for issue causes. It advocates for a certain point of view. Because someone goes through LPR, does not mean they are going to show up and start causing controversy.”

Lemieux said community members had voiced concerns about Peck to her and she didn’t think it was smart to elect a controversial candidate to the board.

Ray and Vogel offered to vote in favor of any of the other three candidates in order to fill the seat and show the community they were willing to compromise.

When asked if they were willing to support another candidate, Geddes said no, Reynolds said “not at this time” and Silverthorn declined to comment.

“I’m not here to always compromise and end up with something that doesn’t represent what my beliefs are,” said Geddes, who nominated Peck. “I agree with Mr. Peck.”

Benevento said he resigned because he had accomplished what he set out to do in his seven years on the board and didn’t believe there was much else that could be accomplished before the 2017 board election.

A special meeting has been scheduled for Nov. 1 to continue the discussion to find Benevento’s replacement, who would serve out the remainder of his term, which was set to expire in November 2017. If the board does not agree on a replacement by the end of the 60th day following the declaration of the vacancy — which would be Nov. 7 — Silverthorn, as president of the board, will appoint a person to fill the vacancy, as required by law.

“You know that you have the power as president to just let the clock run out and you will have the authority to pick your guy,” Vogel said. “You are showing an inability to listen and to show this community that we, once and for all, can actually come together and have an agreement.”

Silverthorn said she was simply advocating for her candidate and that supporting him did not mean she was not listening to the community.

“People are trying to paint me into a box that I’m not necessarily interested in climbing into,” Silverthorn said.

Threat suspect set for hearing Cases moving forward after months on hold

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunity Two teenage girls accused of making a violent threat against Mountain Vista High School last December appeared in court the morning of Oct. 21. District Judge Paul King set the dates of pivotal court hearings in one of the two cases.

Brooke Higgins, now 17, is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 16 and 17 for a preliminary hearing, at which the defense counsel and prosecution team will review evidence.

King expects a bond hearing to happen during the preliminary hearing. King also set a date for Higgins’ reverse-transfer hearing from adult to juvenile court. The four-day hearing will begin on Dec. 12 and it will be closed to the public.

The second teenager, Sienna Johnson, is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 6

for a status review. At the Oct. 21 hearing, Johnson’s public defender, Ara Ohanian, requested more time while Johnson undergoes an evaluation. He added that he is negotiating with the prosecution team, which includes Jason Siers, senior chief deputy for the 18th Judicial District, and Deborah Wrenholt, deputy district attorney.

Higgins and Johnson were arrested after a student reported a threat to the Douglas County Sherriff’s Office through Text-A-Tip, a service that allows high school students to convey concerns about safety, drugs and other issues anonymously. The alleged threat was to harm students and staff at Mountain Vista during the week of Dec. 14.

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.

Both cases had been on hold since March pending a ruling from the Colorado Supreme Court on the use of psychological exams.

Regional crime lab moves closer to reality Arapahoe, Douglas and Aurora collaborate to build DNA facility

By Jessica Gibbs jgibbs@coloradocommunitymedia.com In July 2015, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office sent a sexual assault case to the state crime lab for DNA testing. Almost a year later, the sheriff’s office still had not received results.

In Arapahoe County, the sheriff’s office submitted two sexual assault cases for analysis in February 2015, two more the following May, another two that June, and numerous others on a consistent basis since then. None has yet received results from the CBI. The wait for DNA analysis — which data shows can take from four months to more than 1½ years in some cases — has spurred the Douglas and Arapahoe county sheriff’s offices and the Aurora Police Department to pool their resources to build a regional crime lab.

“There are not a lot of opportunities to do high-value, regional projects,” Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella said.

But the regional crime lab is one because it will serve nearly 1 million people, she said. The combined population of Douglas County and Arapahoe County, where most of Aurora is located, is approximately 900,000.

“To pull resources together for a regional project like this is astounding,” Repella said.

A nationwide backlog The delay in DNA and other forensic evidence testing is not unique to Colorado.

The National Institute of Justice defines a forensic biology or DNA backlogged case as one that has not been completed within 30 days of receipt, although each independent laboratory has its own definition, according to the institute’s website. Because of this, it is difficult to determine the exact number of backlogged cases throughout the nation.

However, data gathered in fiscal year 2010, as state and local units of government applied for funding under the Forensic DNA Backlog Reduction Program,

showed a national backlog of 111,647 DNA cases as of the end of 2009. But the number changes daily, the NIJ reports, as new cases are submitted and closed every day.

“Across the country, state labs are overrun,” Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said. “It’s very important that we think about this as a public safety concern.”

The need for timely DNA testing is crucial, law enforcement officials say, to furthering investigations and solving cases that include homicide, sexual assault, auto theft, burglary, suspicious deaths, cold case homicides and more.

The sheriff’s offices in Arapahoe and Douglas counties and the Aurora Police Department each operate their own crime labs, but none has the capability to do DNA testing, according to a feasibility study on the regional lab.

DNA analysis can make the difference between taking criminals off the streets and letting them move in society for the 18 months it might take to receive results from the state lab, Spurlock said.

Sometimes, DNA analysis can be what clears an individual’s name, Arapahoe County Sheriff David Walcher said. The sheriff’s office at times has cause to arrest someone before DNA evidence can be analyzed, he said, which means an innocent person could remain in jail until DNA results are available to exonerate them.

Developing a regional lab Two years in the making, the Regional Forensics Crime Laboratory, estimated to cost about $13.7 million, will also serve the City of Centennial, which contracts with the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office.

Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon said the city was immediately supportive of the project.

“I think what we were really astonished by is how little DNA actually gets tested and how long it takes,” she said. “If there are additional tools that our sheriff’s department that we contract with needs, we support that — absolutely.”

Other municipalities also may be able to use the lab’s services, both sheriff’s offices said.

They intend to allow municipalities within their counties to submit evidence for processing at the regional lab for a fee. Details of those terms are still in the

works, Douglas County Undersheriff Holly Nicholson-Kluth said.

The three entities expect to finalize an intergovernmental agreement by late October. Design plans are scheduled to be near completion in December. Groundbreaking on the facility, which would be built along Douglas County’s northern corridor near the Arapahoe County border, could take place in the summer of 2017.

“The public certainly has an expectation that we use science to the best of our ability,” Walcher said. “Well, we’re going to start doing that in our jurisdiction.”

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation runs the state forensics lab and has a regional office in Arvada. It was originally established to analyze forensic evidence for small law jurisdictions without their own crime labs.

Over time, larger law enforcement departments’ need for assistance has grown, particularly with the development of DNA analytics, according to Spurlock. “They do great work, but they serve the entire state of Colorado.”

The CBI could not be reached for comment. The Aurora Police Department declined to comment while discussions surrounding the lab are ongoing.

Besides the backlog of cases, logistical issues exist with relying on the CBI lab, according to a study commissioned by Douglas County to look at the feasibility of a regional facility.

The round trip for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office to Arvada can take two to three hours, depending on traffic and lines to submit evidence at the facility, the feasibility study found.

The number of items that can be submitted for analysis also is limited, the study said, which means law enforcement can’t submit all the evidence they need evaluated.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office crime lab can conduct crime scene investigations, drug chemistry analysis, latent print evaluation and processing, and shoe and tire print examinations. It also can photograph evidence and attend autopsies.

The Arapahoe County and Aurora crime labs perform similarly but not identically to Douglas County’s.

But they all rely on the CBI to conduct firearms and tool-mark analysis, trace evidence and DNA analysis.

The new regional lab will provide the departments with more control over casework prioritization, the amount of evidence analyzed and the logistics of submitting pieces for analysis, NicholsonKluth said.

“We will solve more crimes,” Walcher said, “and we will solve more crimes quicker than ever before.”

The game plan In August, the three partners produced a strategic business plan for the regional crime lab.

The land acquisition, design and constructions costs are estimated at $13.7 million — a rough estimate, Nicholson-Kluth said. An official project cost should be available in December once design plans are completed.

Douglas County will handle land acquisition and constructions costs, largely through its Justice Center Sales and Use Tax, which has twice been approved by voters to help pay for capital needs of the county Justice Center.

Once the facility is built, Arapahoe County and Aurora will begin contributing larger shares.

Aurora will pay for the information technology infrastructure and support staff.

Aurora and Arapahoe County will provide most of the staff and specialized equipment. The lab is expected to staff 41 positions, a combination of existing and new.

One-time project costs (such as construction), and ongoing costs (such as operations and maintenance) will be funded through a variety of sources. Arapahoe County’s Law Enforcement Authority fund will help support the project, Walcher said.

Arapahoe County’s contract with Centennial will also contribute financial support.

After two years of work by a team of about 20 people, Spurlock said he is excited to see the plan becoming a reality.

“The people of Arapahoe and Douglas counties have officials that are working together to solve a problem,” he said. “We have found a way to work together and to develop a plan that allows us to provide services fairly and equitably.”

Giving back: Local charity helps young women attend college 7 Sisters Charity raises money for scholarships to high school girls

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunity Tina Benner likes to give back.

She’s a Girl Scout leader. She teaches a social justice issues class at St. Andrew United Methodist church in Highlands Ranch. And she’s part of a nonprofit organization called 7Sisters Global, which is hosting an upcoming fundraiser.

And even after a hit-and-run accident just over a year ago that left her severely injured, Benner continues to have a compassionate mentality.

“I’m a better person because of it,” she said. “My husband, my friends and my girls are better people. You realize it’s not your things that matter — it’s your life and how you lead it.”

Last September, Benner was jogging along University Boulevard when she was hit by a car and left on the side of the road with critical injuries, including a broken pelvis in five places, a torn aorta and broken fibula. She underwent five surgeries and spent a month in the hospital, followed by intensive rehab and two months in a wheelchair.

Benner, who with her husband has three daughters, is progressively getting better.

The avid runner of 30 years is able to jog again, depending on the day.

“Some days are better than others,” Benner said. “I’m moving forward cautiously.”

Benner’s accident made her realize what’s important, she said. For her, that includes empowering young women.

Benner and her charity, 7Sisters Global, are hosting a Fall Market from 3- 6 p.m. on Nov. 5 at 205 W. County Line Road, Littleton, to raise money for less fortunate young women who want to attend college.

“I want young ladies to know that they are quite capable of doing anything they set their minds to,” Benner said.

7Sisters Global started about six years ago as a group of preschool mothers. As their children grew, the women tossed around the idea of becoming a nonprofit. For the following years, they went on mission trips and held an annual Fall Market with vendors of women-owned businesses. As of a couple of months ago, the charity is a 501(c) nonprofit organization.

Last year, the Fall Market funded a $500 scholarship for Bhawana Acharya, a senior at Thomas Jefferson High School. The money went towards college necessities, such as

ACT prep classes, applications or a computer.

This year, the charity hopes to raise enough money to provide two $1,000 scholarships to young women in high school.

The Fall Market will feature 26 vendors — 25 of which are small businesses owned by women — including food, jewelry and household items. Tammy Atchison, who is in 7Sisters Global, picked the businesses by scanning Facebook, attending outdoor markets and through word of mouth.

7Sisters Global members share a commonality: “We chose girls’ education because it can make such a difference in their lives,” Benner said.

He’s not seeking votes, just approval Littleton activist uses presidential bid to get eyes on voting campaign

By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Frank Atwood is running for president, but he doesn’t want your vote.

It says so right on the website of the Approval Voting Party, for which he is the nominee. The Littleton activist isn’t even voting for himself.

“I will most likely be voting for Gary Johnson,” the 67-year-old retired Department of the Navy employee said.

Atwood was a registered Libertarian before he and his running mate, Blake Huber, 66, now retired from the telecommunications industry, created a party focused on advocating for approval voting, which is a system that allows voters to select multiple candidates.

The elevator pitch for approval voting is simple: “Check all the candidates yea or nay, the most yeas wins at the end of the day.” Those are the words to a jingle that Atwood recorded on his smartphone and which are printed on his fliers.

“Approval voting is simply saying, mark off all that you approve of,” Atwood said.

Frank Atwood, right, and Blake Huber decided last year that a presidential run was the best way to get the word out about approval voting, their political cause. Photo by Kyle Harding Atwood and Huber, who first registered as a Libertarian in the 1970s, see approval voting as a solution to hyper-

partisanship, as voters will not have just one vote to cast.

They also believe it solves the problem of spoilers, like Ross Perot in 1992 or Ralph Nader in 2000, as people can vote for their preferred candidate, as well as one they don’t like as much but can live with.

“Approval voting encourages better candidates,” Huber said, saying that what he calls the “choose-one system” incentivizes negative campaigning.

For Atwood and Huber, approval voting is not only political silver bullet, but a solution people can use in their dayto-day lives. Huber points out it can be used among groups of friends to select movies, pizza toppings and more.

Atwood, a common fixture at public meetings, political discussion groups

and community events, stands out wherever he his.

He’s the 6-foot-4 bald man who is more often than not wearing a bright yellow T-shirt emblazoned with the approval voting message. A scan of a parking lot can let you know if he’s around — just look for the Toyota minivan wrapped with graphics matching his shirt.

Atwood cops to being a “nut.” But “it’s the nuts that change the world,” he recently told the Littleton City Council in one of his regular public comment appearances. The tagline was lifted from Kind Snacks, and when he was done, Atwood distributed Kind bars to the councilmembers and audience.

Avoiding cancer: The mastectomy choice

Castle Rock woman has surgeries following genetic testing

By Jessica Gibbs jgibbs@coloradocommunitymedia.com Stephanie Burgess, 39, is ready for 2016 to be over.

The Castle Rock mom of two recently underwent a hysterectomy and a double mastectomy. The decision came after genetic testing showed she had a 70 to 90 percent chance of getting ovarian and breast cancer.

The scare hit close to home.

When Burgess was 22 years old, she lost her mother to ovarian cancer. Starting from age 19, she was a primary caretaker during the three-year battle.

Watching her mother try every treatment to no avail was devastating as a daughter, she said. Now, as a mother herself, she wanted to take every precaution to ensure she would never have to say goodbye to her children.

But having the surgeries was an admittedly difficult decision.

“Sometimes, I wake up and say `I can’t believe I did that,’ ” Burgess said.

Her body no longer feels like her own.

Although she’s soon starting reconstructive surgery, it’s not the same the self she knew before, Burgess said.

Recovery time also has its setbacks.

Movement is limited in the weeks after a mastectomy and it comes with some pain.

And yet, Burgess said, it was worth it. She can explain why through a single statement her surgeon made before beginning the mastectomy.

“Your risk is 84 percent right now,” the doctor said, about getting breast cancer.

“When I wake you up, I’m going to tell you that it’s 4.”

While the average person’s risk of breast cancer is 12 percent, those carrying the BRCA 1 or 2 gene have an 80 to 84 percent chance of developing breast cancer, according to Burgess’ breast surgeon, Joyce Moore.

Moore has been in practice for 23 years and works at Sky Ridge Medical Center

in Lone Tree. A mastectomy can lower a woman’s risk of breast cancer by up to 90 percent, she said.

“It’s not as bad as they think it is,” Moore said about the procedure. “It’s not like their grandmothers’ mastectomies.”

Today’s surgeries are less painful and less disfiguring than those of decades past, she said. Women can also make the choice to have reconstructive surgery. It’s not a requirement, she said, but it sometimes gives women a result that allows them to feel like themselves again.

Like any medical procedure, there are risks, Moore said. Recovery time and regaining a full range of motion take work.

While many return to a normal life in two to four weeks, others experience long-term or even chronic pain following a mastectomy or reconstructive surgery, she said.

Burgess believes knowledge is power: Knowing whether or not you have a cancer-causing gene allows you to make the best decisions for your health.

However, it can also be a strenuous situation, said Jinnah Phillips, a breast radiologist at Castle Rock Adventist Hospital. Knowing about the high risk factor can lead to psychological and emotional turmoil for women, she said.

“Every time they come in for a mammogram they’re wondering if the shoe is going to drop,” she said.

As a radiologist, Phillips helps monitor for signs of cancer and calls for biopsies when necessary. The process to diagnosis is stressful, she said, especially when a routine mammogram is enough to make some women nervous.

Having the surgeries is often to bring mental relief, she said.

Carrying the BRCA gene has, in a way, made her feel lucky, Burgess said. Because she knew she was predisposed to the disease, she had the opportunity to act — something her mother didn’t have.

Toward the end of her mother’s battle, she asked Burgess’ permission to go.

“And I lied and said `yes,’ ” Burgess said through tears.

Burgess is hopeful that now her children will never face the same terrible farewell.

“Mostly, I feel the relief,” she said. “And I feel strong.”

Stephanie Burgess underwent both a hysterectomy and a double mastectomy in 2016, after learning she carried the BRCA cancer-causing gene. Courtesy photo

Experts offer advice for high school seniors Below, experts, parents and students weigh in on making a plan for after high school, whether it includes attending college or not.

Tips for how to navigate the next chapter in life

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunity As the 2016-17 school year progresses, many high school seniors are faced with what may be overwhelming questions: What are your plans for after high school?

What colleges are you applying to?

What will you study?

Research shows that continuing on to college has its benefits. According to the Pew Research Center, millennials who graduate from college earn more money than those who don’t. College-educated millennials — a term used to describe people born between the early 1980s and the early 2000s — also have lower unemployment and poverty rates and they are more satisfied with their jobs, Pew reports.

There are other routes after high school — entering the workforce, joining the military, taking a gap year — but for those considering college, education experts say now is the time to start thinking about applications.

The layout of the more than 60,000-foot building will be more welcoming with a comfortable feel, Donley said. Lounge seating will surround the interior and a backyard theme near one of Bowlero’s two new bars will feature an indoor fireplace and cozy lighting. Three “party corrals,” semi-private rooms for events and gatherings. are also included in the design.

“We basically renovated every

Online resources Barb Cousins is president of the Douglas County Association for Gifted and Talented — a group of parents, educators and community leaders that supports the needs of gifted and advanced learners in the school district.

Her daughter, a gifted senior at Rock Canyon High School, has worked with a college coach for a couple of years — a resource that isn’t attainable for all students, she said.

“That’s normally not a feasible thing to do, in terms of time and money,” Cousins said.

Almost two months ago, Cousins started working at College Choice Today, an online platform to help students map out their best choice in education and career for a one-time fee of $295. Her education values aligned with the company’s, she said.

Rick Cochran, CEO of College Choice Today, said that includes helping students find the right path.

“Instead of educating these kids, let me help kids figure out what they are going to do with their lives,” he said. “They have a couple of choices — sit on the couch, get a job or go to school.”

Cochran started College Choice Today — headquartered in Waco, Texas — about a year ago. To use the platform, a student is asked to register and pay the fee. He or she then takes a 20-30 minute online assessment and the website generates a report with the best colleges, areas of study, careers and funding options for the student. Every student is also assigned a personal coach.

“Coaches are individuals that are professionally trained, have gone through school and have advanced degrees,” Cochran said. “They work with the parent and the student to personalize a solution for them.”

Cochran said through his business, he hopes to get students excited about their futures.

“We believe that education is the pathway to success,” he said.

Advice from college experts If college is in the plans, education experts say now is the time to start applying.

“Our seniors are in the middle of the application process,” said Linda August, counselor at SkyView Academy, a college preparatory school in Highlands Ranch that serves grades preschool through high school. “We encourage them to keep applying.”

She added that students should apply to all of the schools they could potentially want to attend.

“Don’t let finances stop you,” she said.

“You can apply for financial aid.”

Sarah Seeborg, admissions counselor of Portland State University in Oregon, attended a college fair in late September for juniors and seniors at SkyView Academy.

Her advice: “Apply early. And pay attention to deadlines.”

Jon Ail, high school principal of SkyView Academy, said it’s never too early to start thinking about college — some students start contemplating life after high school as freshmen, others as juniors.

He encourages his senior students to keep their options open when applying to schools.

“Don’t get keyed up on one school,” he said. “You don’t have to have your whole life figured out to a T — it’s OK to discover things along the way.”

aspect of the building,” Donley said.

“Every touchpoint of the design is enhanced.”

Jeff Holwell, economic development director for the City of Lone Tree, said the improvements exemplify Bowlero’s commitment to rejuvenating the entertainment district, an area of the city near Yosemite Street and Park Meadows Drive that features many restaurants and a movie theater.

“The fact that they’re reinvesting in the space and recommitting themselves to being an anchor in the entertainment district is really great,” Holwell said. “We expect it will bring in people from around the the region and bring new life to the district.”

If the shoes fit, wear them all In my closet are two exact same pairs of shoes. Exact same except that one pair is exceptionally worn and the other pair is still brand new.

I have had the same shoes even years before, and I loved them so much, they were so comfortable that when I went to replace them and found that they were still available I actually purchased two more pairs instead of just one. They are brown business casual shoes. A little too casual to wear with a suit, but great for an informal business meeting.

After having parted with my original pair, I continued to wear one of the new pairs on a regular basis. Now maybe it was the way I walked or how I drove my car, maybe how I placed my feet under the seat in front of me on an airplane, but the front of my brown shoes would get scuffed, worn out, or scratched. After a while they looked almost too worn to wear. But what was I waiting for?

I had another brand new pair in the closet and could easily move right into those.

Here is what was running through my head, “I know I can get one more use out of these worn-out shoes. If I wear the new shoes they will just get worn out too. Maybe next time I will wear the new ones.” And so it went, the old ones went on my feet and the new ones remained pristine in my closet.

How silly and how ridiculous. Again, what was I waiting for?

Then I started thinking about everything else that I might be protecting for use sometime in the future. What good are shoes or skills, talents, resources, or even words if we have them Michael Norton and we are saving them for use at a later WINNING time? You see, just like WORDS my shoes were intended to be worn, so is life. We are not here to simply put ourselves on a shelf, in a closet, in a pocket, or to remain quiet when something important needs to be said or done. We were meant to live life to the fullest, whether we get through clean and unscathed, or like those old shoes, we get scuffed, scratched, and worn out.

Zig Ziglar said, “We were designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness.”

But if we keep ourselves on the sideline, how will we ever know what we can accomplish,

where and when we will meet with success, or just how great we can be?

So today was the day. As I got dressed, the new shoes made their way to my feet and a new inspiration filled my heart and my head. Inspiring shoes? Yes, inspiring shoes, because I was reminded of what else I wasn’t doing or using in my life that would add value to my own journey or add value to the lives of others. I left my closet with a “Look out world, this is going to be a big day” attitude.

So how about you, what are you holding on to or waiting to use? Is it that new golf club? The new car mats? Are you waiting to use the words you know that someone needs or wants to hear, maybe even longs to hear?

Whatever it is, I would love to hear all about it and how you will stop waiting, get off the sideline, and get into the game of life at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we remember that we were designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness, it really 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.

Special effects don’t interest me now. They did when I was 9.

The news is full of blood, gore, mutilations and monsters.

And so is Halloween. You can have it.

Melodramatic fictionalizations of horror, starring phantoms, ghouls, goblins and death, have been in existence throughout history.

It seems to me that there is enough of it in nonfiction to go around.

I saw a friend just the other day.

He was getting ready for Halloween.

He said, “I’m putting on a zombie. It’s escapism, Smith.”

Real life is full of zombies already. It’s packed with them.

I said, “Why not put on some Beethoven instead?”

Zombie said, “Huh?” Most people, it seems, can separate the two, namely real demons and fake demons, buy some fake blood, smear it on a costume and go out and party.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Carroll best pick for Congress There are politicians and then there are public servants.

Morgan Carroll, candidate for U.S. Congress District 6, is a true public servant with a proven, consistent record of working across the aisle to get results.

Carroll is a determined legislator focused on real-world problems of local families. Former president of the Colorado State Senate, Carroll effectively fought to bring companies with competitive wages into Colorado, cap tuition increases in higher education and reject rate hikes by big insurance companies. She has worked to increase renewable energy development, protect Colorado’s clean air and water, and limit secret corporate spending in elections.

Carroll worked low-wage jobs to finance her education, racking up $70,000 in student debt, so she is passionate about investing in education to provide youth and adults with access to affordable training and re-training.

In Congress, Carroll also plans to: • Return the emphasis in our classrooms to teaching and away from an over-reliance on standardized testing.

• Improve Colorado infrastructure (mass transit, roads,

and broadband) to boost the economy and create jobs.

• Support small, local businesses and equal pay for equal work.

• Provide more mental health services for military veterans.

• Deliver campaign finance reform to reduce the influence of billionaires. As Carroll notes, the U.S. Constitution recognizes “one person one vote,” a concept that should not be distorted into “one dollar one vote.”

In contrast, four-term Congressman Mike Coffman is part of our broken, ineffective Congress. Backed by dark money from the billionaire Koch brothers, notorious for funding disinformation campaigns regarding the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change, a strident Coffman says the issue is “debatable.” He began shifting many of his positions only after the boundaries of the district were redrawn and its demographics changed. His wife is Colorado’s attorney general, and it is time to break up this cozy arrangement.

Morgan Carroll will represent local families with common sense, energy, and accountability. We urge you to vote for Morgan Carroll for U.S. Congress.

Vote to support the arts With a long ballot to consider, we want to urge Douglas County voters to vote yes on measure 4B, which will continue funding for the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District.

4B is way down at the end of the ballot – don’t miss it!

SCFD funding is not a new tax or a tax increase. It’s a renewal of a tiny sales tax – just 1 penny on $10 — that voters have approved repeatedly since 1988. This small investment helps more than 300 fantastic nonprofit organizations that enrich millions of lives in the metro area, including the PACE Center, Lone Tree Arts Center and Parker Arts, as well as the zoo, Botanic Gardens and many more. SCFD does more than improve our cultural climate: according to the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts, SCFD funding generates $1.85 billion in economic activity and sustains more than 10,000 jobs.

As longtime Douglas County residents, we’re proud to live in a community that values culture and education. Please vote yes on 4B to continue support for SCFD. Dennis and Erica Stull Parker Letters continues on Page 13

I was a horror film fan when I was a kid. I’m not sure why.

I found out everything there was to know about Lon Chaney.

There is no moment in film more frightening than the one in Chaney’s “Phantom of the Opera” when the phantom takes off his mask.

Board members must compromise Directors Geddes, Reynolds and Silverthorn behaved like spoiled children, who don’t know the meaning of “compromise” during the Oct. 18 DCSD Board of Education meeting.

Compromise (verb): settle a dispute by mutual concession; meet each other halfway, come to an understanding, make a deal, make concessions, find a happy medium, strike a balance; give and take Directors Lemieux, Ray and Vogel were prepared to compromise by voting in their second and third choice to fill the current board vacancy. They literally begged Silverthorn, Reynolds and

I think it’s possible that I thought I was monstrous too. Cinema monsters are usually disconnected. I was disconnected.

An exception was Dr. Jekyll, “a large, well-made, smooth-faced man of fifty with something of a stylish cast.”

As the doctor, he attends parties, and gives lectures at the institute in front of a theater filled with medical professionals.

But he also spends time in his laboratory mixing up Mr. Hyde in a beaker.

I have been both. Maybe you have too.

Maybe you have read about the clown threats. Because of them, a lot of children will be prohibited by their schools from clowning up on Halloween. And McDonald’s is keeping Ronald McDonald out of Geddes to do the same. Instead, the three stubbornly refused to discuss any candidate but their chosen and refused to name a second choice so a compromise could be reached.

Since becoming board president, Silverthorn has been willing to throw Robert’s Rules of Order out the window in order to get her way, but Oct. 18 was a new low. It was stunning to watch the board president and vice president not even adjourn the meeting, but get up and walk out with no explanation, when a motion was made that didn’t suit their political agenda. I expect behavior like that from toddlers, not from adult professionals, in charge of an entire school district. They should both be ashamed of their behavior. Geddes had, of course, already left by then.

sight for a while. How about forever?

Am I a wet blanket? Absolutely. It simply doesn’t entertain me: scaring people, or being scared.

Humans frighten me enough, just standing around in khakis.

I’d like to know, by percentage, who gets more involved with Halloween? Men or women? I am betting men. Many of us grow up to be 9-year-olds.

If special effects don’t interest me, you could assume that blockbusters like “Star Wars” and “Star Trek” don’t either. That is correct.

I like it right where I am, not on some other planet. And that includes Texas.

But seriously.

I lived in metro Detroit, where they thought it was cute to liven things up on October 30, calling it “Devil’s Night.” It featured some serious acts of vandalism and arson.

Sure, it’s been replaced by “Angels’ Night,” but I have no plans to see if it’s working out.

The truth is that most of us wear masks all the time, not just once a year. Or is that being too abstruse?

Oh. What is a vampire’s favorite fruit? A nectarine.

Geddes are unwilling to discuss and vote for any other candidates in order to reach a compromise, I think all three should step down, as they are unable to fulfill their duties to the students and taxpayers of this district.

The Denver HUD regional office said no other recipient communities refused these grants. Reporting how such monies would be used is necessary and I hope that funds these commissioners spend also require stringent accounting.

This action shows how out of touch and cruel these commissioners are with the needs of many of our residents.

These same commissioners almost ruined Heritage Hills by wanting to change more zoning from commercial to residential.

Only a forceful show of resistance by our residents prevented this.

Please do not re-elect Roger Partridge or elect Lora Thomas. We need commissioners that will serve all of Douglas County.

We need change at commissioner I was delighted to read many Douglas County churches will help house homeless and battered women. This need arose because the Douglas County commissioners refused federal community Development Block Grants that go primarily to social safety-net organization that provide these services. Their reason was that more stringent reporting of the funds’ usage was required. Why was this requirement so onerous? has a very active Facebook page.

‘We must be peace’

Attendees of the Centers for Spiritual Living’s International Peace Day celebration on Sept. 21 in Golden face each of the four cardinal directions as the celebration concludes with thanks. The centers are trans-denominational and exist in 30 countries. International Peace Day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1981 to dedicate one day as a period of non-violence. Today, Peace Day celebrations take place all over the world. Photo by Christy Steadman

Local organizations take on global issue of achieving world peace

P

eace begins with each person.

That’s an important message, said Rev. Dr. David Goldberg at the Centers for Spiritual Living Headquarters in Golden.

“I truly believe we are the change we’re waiting for,” the Lakewood resident said.

“Regardless of our age or where we are in our lives, change starts with us. If we seek peace, we must be peace.”

Obtaining world peace can seem like a concept too large for one person to take on. But across the globe, organizations are serving as platforms, providing guidance and supporting efforts. Every day, more individuals and groups join the movement.

“Sometimes, it feels so big, but one simple act at a time can make a difference,” said Brandi Brown, deputy campaign manager for PeaceJam’s 1 Billion Acts of Peace campaign. “Amazing things are happening in your community every day.”

PeaceJam is an international nonprofit organization headquartered in Arvada, with the primary mission to teach peace to youth through mentoring by Nobel Peace Prize laureates. The 1 Billion Acts of Peace campaign challenges everybody around the world to reach 1 billion acts of peace by 2019. So far, just over 12 million acts have been recorded.

Almost anything can count as an act of peace, Brown said, from the smallest gesture of reading to the elderly to big efforts such as raising money to help young women in Africa receive an education.

And the campaign is not limited to youth — businesses, nonprofits, houses of worship, individuals, school groups and universities are participating.

“Getting people into the mind-frame of putting things into action inspires others to do the same,” Brown said. “Once you reach out and help other people, you see the impact, and it inspires you to do more.”

The Conflict Center believes everyone has a role to play as peacemakers in our homes, schools, congregations, workplaces and communities, said the nonprofit’s executive director Ron Ludwig.

To learn more about PeaceJam, visit www.peacejam.org. To get involved with the organization’s 1 Billion Acts of Peace campaign, visit www. billionacts.org.

The center, which is based in Denver, works to prevent violence by equipping youth and adults with solid skills to manage conflict, solve problems and strengthen relationships. The center offers classes for youth and adults available to the general public, and works in several schools each year to teach age-appropriate conflict management skills to students. It also sponsors special events to raise awareness in the community about the impact that various forms of violence can have on individuals, communities and the world.

“Conflict is a normal part of everyday life, but it doesn’t have to be negative or destructive,” Ludwig said. “It’s how we respond to it that produces positive or negative outcomes in our lives and in the lives of others.”

Accomplishing peace is not viewed as being easy or comfortable, said Liz Hamel, program director for Building

Bridges.

But accepting that tension is a positive way to create change, she added.

Building Bridges is a nonprofit organization with the mission “to equip young people with the communication and leadership skills necessary to address the root cause of hatred, discrimination and violent conflict.”

Peace begins with individuals, Hamel said, but it’s important to be able to come together, work deeply to understand another’s perspective and find the root causes of conflict and hatred.

“If we are going to create more understanding in the world,” she said, “it has to start with people to people.”

Bringing people to peace within their own consciousness is the idea behind the Centers for Spiritual Living’s Global Peace Initiative, says Rev. Mark Gilbert, the center’s global service manager.

“It’s a matter of shifting thoughts to

believe — and know — that we each, in our own minds, can bring peace to the planet,” Gilbert said. It starts with inner awareness, he added, and cascades to others from there.

The Global Peace Initiative can be thought of as a support mechanism and a “nudge to move people to action,” he said. The centers send out materials upon request and provide support to help people get started.

The centers consist of a trans-denominational group, Gilbert said, so the materials support everyone, no matter their spiritual belief.

The initiative encourages people to come together, either as an individual or a group, to pray or meditate on peace, Gilbert said. Then they’re encouraged to share with the centers what they developed, which provides more opportuniPeace continues on Page 13

October 27, 2016

Dylan’s Nobel win brings words back to spotlight Whenever people ask me the stereotypical question — The Beatles or The Rolling Stones? — my answer is simple: Bob Dylan.

Apparently the Nobel Prize committee is of the same opinion, since Dylan was just named as the 2016 recipient of the prize for literature.

Depending on one’s familiarity with the literary world, the last well-known winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature was Toni Morrison (the last American who won, it’s worth noting), who received the award in 1993. This makes Dylan not only the first musician to receive the Nobel in Literature, but also the most recognizable name to receive the award in more than 20 years.

The Nobel committee honored Dylan “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.”

But since the award was announced Oct. 13, musicians and critics in print and online have been arguing about the recognition.

Master lyricist Leonard Cohen said Dylan receiving the Nobel is “like pinning a medal on Mount Everest for being the highest mountain.” Matthew Schnipper, managing editor of Pitchfork music website, wrote an op-ed stating that everyone already knows Dylan is a genius, therefore the award was a missed opportunity to highlight authors that more people should know.

“But he is a musician, and his relationship with words is as a lyricist, someone whose prose exists inexorably with music. To read his lyrics flatly, without the sound delivering them, Clarke Reader is to experience his art reduced,” LINER Schnipper wrote.

“Literature is a less NOTES glamorous cousin of music. Both may provide portals to new worlds, but presuming they do so similarly because both use words shortchanges the specific merits of either form.”

Tom Waits, owner of one of rock’s other unique music voices, celebrated Dylan’s win. “Before epic tales and poems were ever written down, they migrated on the winds of the human voice,” Waits said in a statement, “and no voice is greater than Dylan’s.”

For Rob Sheffield, author and contributor to Rolling Stone magazine, the committee got the award right because of Dylan’s celebration of — and experimentations with — words.

“Of course it’s not poetry, not even sung poetry,” he wrote. “It’s songwrit-

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Nxworries’ “Yes Lawd!,” released on Stones Throw records.

Review: Anderson .Paak already released one of the year’s best records back in January, and now he’s closing out the year by releasing another of the year’s best. This time he’s working with producer Knxwledge for

ing, it’s storytelling, it’s electric noise, it’s a bard exploiting the new-media inventions of his time (amplifiers, microphones, recording studios, radio) for literary performance the way playwrights or screenwriters once did.”

As a passionate Dylanologist since senior year of high school, it’s not even a debate — Dylan deserves any and every award people want to give him. His lyrics are some of the best writing — regardless of form — in the English language, and his melding of folk, blues, rock and pop is one of the reasons modern music sounds like it does.

But what I like most about the award is the conversation its created, one I think Dylan himself would approve of — a conversation about the power of words.

Listening to Dylan’s lyrics makes it

an album of jazz and funk infused soul and hip-hop. Knxwledge’s production is a nod to J Dilla at his peak, and .Paak skates over the music with his agile and pliable voice.

Favorite song: “Get Bigger/Do U Luv” Contender for prettiest song of the year: “Livvin”

evident he’s an avid reader. And intelligent people talking about authors and musicians in the same breath certainly seems like a positive outcome.

Dylan once said, “All I can do is be me, whoever that is.”

He has been a troubadour, rock star, actor and activist, among countless other things. But he has always been a writer. So talking about what words can achieve seems like the most fitting tribute of all.

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he thinks Dylan deserves the Nobel for “Blood on the Tracks” alone. Check out his music blog at calmacil20.blogspot.com. And share if you think Dylan deserves the Nobel at creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

ties to see what everybody else in the world is doing.

Similar activities are ongoing around the world, Gilbert said.

“They recognize the power of coming together at a common time for a certain intention,” he said. One example is the United Nations’ International Day of Peace.

The UN General Assembly established International Day of Peace in 1981 when it designated Sept. 21 as a period of nonviolence and cease-fire. Today, Peace Day is celebrated around the world in various ways — its original intent, and as a day of commemoration with education and public awareness activities on issues related to peace.

“Day of Peace is really important,” said Olivia Gilchrist, 12, a student at Evergreen Montessori School. She was one of about 20 students attending the Peace Day celebration at the Centers for Spiritual Living. “We have to remember, (and) one good way to remember is to have one day dedicated to it.”

Gilbert believes peace exists in everyone’s hearts.

“We want a world where everyone has their needs met and can thrive,” Gilbert said. “And people thrive on a planet that is at peace.”

The Sons of the Pioneers are synonymous with cowboy music and Western legend. Precursors of the present group, including cowboy star Roy Rogers, started performing in their trademark blend of voices and musical instruments in 1934, bringing images of tumbleweeds, horses, cattle, cool water and tall timber to America and, later, to the world. Today’s group will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 3 at Lone Tree Arts Center.

There have been only 33 men in the group during its 80-year history, each carefully chosen to sing and play in the style of the originals. In the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, the group appeared in almost 100 Western films — as well as at Carnegie Hall — and on the home radios of thousands of listeners. They have recorded numerous albums with Decca, Columbia, RCA and others and are still performing to sold-out crowds across the nation. (Two weeks in advance, as we write, Lone Tree is near a sellout.)

Honors have come from the Country Music Hall of Fame, Western Music Association Hall of Fame, National Cowboy Hall of Fame and more … Their renditions of “Cool Water” and “Tumbling Tumbleweeds” are in the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Current members, who will appear at Lone Tree: baritone and lead guitarist Tommy Nallie, “Trail Boss,” has been with the Pioneers since 1983. He also yodels. High tenor Ken Lattimore holds a degree in music, plays fiddle and mandolin and has been a member more than 15 years.

Cliff Austin’s studio at Woodlawn Shopping Center in Littleton opened seven months ago, where he offers beginning level drawing and painting classes. Check his Facebook page (facebook.com/cliffaustin.5) or email him (cliffaustin@comcast. net) for times and dates. His brochure says “instructed life drawing classes (beginners and intermediate) Thursday evenings and uninstructed life drawing every other Saturday 9 am. to 12 p.m.” (Located across from the Post Office.)

“It’s gotta be fun,” he says positively.

Contact him by email or Facebook to find a class in oil landscapes, life drawing or pastels. “One really helps the other,” he says on developing multiple skills.

He says he has lived in Aurora for more than 50 years, arriving first as an Army brat, but he thinks Littleton is a more likely place to build a student following. He participates in plein air events through the year, trying to limit to a four-state area, and recently enjoyed the “In Plein Sight” weeklong event in Jefferson County’s beautiful parks. He is also involved in a “30 paintings in 30 days” project and has works from both projects displayed in the studio.

The first-time Jefferson County plein air event was a year and a half in the making and had great sales. (It will repeat in alternate years, he said.)

Sales through conservation organizations are a growing market for him and he looks forward to the plein air paint sessions hosted in Douglas County and in Estes Park. (He spoke of a Larkspur paintout of ranches and private homes, with a show in an abandoned building as another recent success.)

“It’s gotta be fun.”

Cliff Austin, artist

Austin is a graduate of the Rocky Mountain School of Art and is a member of Denver Art Students League, Pastel Society of Colorado, Center for the Arts in Evergreen, American Impressionist Society, Plein Air Artists of Colorado and Oil Painters of America. “I used to do a lot more plein air events, but grew tired of living on 7-Eleven food,” he said.

He started teaching — and still does — at the active Park Hill Arts Club in Denver (pastel workshop). And Austin also teaches at Terry Ludwig’s Littleton pastel studio, where Ludwig manufactures and sells 500 different colors of pastels, sold nationwide and internationally, as well as holding classes.

Austin has offered a pastel workshop for Heritage Fine Arts Guild in Arapahoe County and miscellaneous other workshops. (He posts daily on his Facebook site.)

He hopes to participate in Littleton’s First Friday Art Walk next summer, citing the need for a balance between art and business. “Life is probably 80 percent management and 20 percent painting. I paint very fast.” And, he’d like to start an artist’s roundtable once a month — usually on Saturday afternoons — contact him if interested.

Two other painters offer weekly classes in his space: Valorie Snyder teaches intermediate and advanced painting on Tuesday afternoons (valoriesnyder@gmail. com) and Scott Lines is trying to get a plein air class going, he said (scottlines@ yahoo.com).

WHAT IS APPROVAL VOTING?

Continued from Page 6

Littleton Mayor Bruce Beckman doesn’t just know Atwood as an activist. They lived across the street from one another for about a decade.

“Frank would never miss an opportunity to talk to you about the things he believes in,” Beckman said.

“You have to,” Atwood said about talking to people about his message. “You push through. You talk with everyone.”

Added Beckman: “There are things I agree with him on and things I disagree with him on, but I always find him interesting to talk to.”

The roots of the Approval Voting Party lie in a trip that Atwood and Huber took to present their ideas at Freedom Fest, an annual “gathering of free minds” held in Las Vegas in July 2015.

Atwood and Huber had been discussing the best approach to getting more eyes on their message.

“Half of the money you spend on advertising is wasted, you just never know which

Angel Heart Project Delivers meals to men, women and children with life-threatening illnesses

According to The Center for Election Science, a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization, approval voting is a singlewinner voting method that allows voters to choose as many candidates as are on the ballot.

Advocates say the method would prevent vote-splitting and spoiler candidates elect more moderate candidates.

While the method has not seen widespread usage, various political parties have used it to select candidates, and organizations have used it to elect boardmembers.

A criticism of approval voting is that it will degrade into “bullet voting,” in which voters only vote for one candidate despite the ability to vote for more, leading to similar results as plurality voting, the system that is already in place in U.S. elections.

half,” Atwood said. “And then Blake and I realized it would be fun.”

When they got back to Colorado, the pair got a lawyer and managed to get a meeting with Secretary of State Wayne Williams at a Colorado Rockies game. They disaffiliated from the Libertarian Party, found nine unaffiliated registered voters willing to sign on to be electoral college delegates in the event they win the vote in Colorado, and filed paperwork to form their new party.

The Quixotic presidential bid is not Atwood’s first foray into electoral politics — he scored 3.3 percent of the vote in the

1st Congressional District race in 2014 as a Libertarian, even though he didn’t live in the district.

Retired from the federal government since 2000, the same year he moved to Littleton, Atwood has been a fixture at community events, public meetings and political gatherings. He counts running a chess club in Highlands Ranch and advocating for approval voting as his two passions.

He stumbled onto the Libertarian Party in the mid-’90s and was attracted by its message of fiscal responsibility and social tolerance.

“I was a milquetoast Republican, willing to vote for Bob Dole, and then Bob Dole just annoyed me,” he said, talking about the 1996 presidential race.

Atwood became interested in approval voting during the 2008 presidential campaign.

“My wife brought home the book ‘Gaming the Vote,’” he said.

The book, by William Poundstone, is subtitled “Why Elections Aren’t Fair (And What We Can Do About It)” and posits that several presidential races have been won by the second-most popular candidate due to the influence of “spoiler” candidates.

After Atwood read the book, he researched alternative voting systems and decided approval voting is the way to go.

Atwood then turned his friend Huber onto the idea, recommending the book to him.

“I called him up and I said ‘Frank, I drank the Kool-Aid,’ ” Huber said.

While Atwood and Huber’s presidential bid is essentially a stunt campaign to draw attention to their cause, it won’t be the endgame for them. They plan to work for statewide rules for jurisdictions that want to use approval voting.

Said Huber: “We’ll be advocating in the state Legislature next year.”

Horror film makes theatrical debut in Castle Rock Movie shot at local body shop reaches public via special screenings

By Jessica Gibbs jgibbs@coloradocommunitymedia.com A film shot in Castle Rock last year is complete.

“Auto Shop of Horrors” has been made available to the public through screenings in Wyoming, Denver and as of Oct. 21, Castle Rock.

The storyline follows a serial-killer mechanic who believes eating enough human eyeballs will enable him to see the future. And, the gory deaths of his customers live up to the horror-film genre.

An audience that attended the Oct. 21 screening held at the Douglas County Fairgrounds cringed for the victims and laughed during the movie’s moments of comedic relief.

All the crew and actors are from Colorado and one of the main characters, Paul Neal Rohrer, has lived in Castle Rock since 1987. The acting coach and actor said it was an easy and fun project to shoot. He plays the detective who investigates the missing-person cases in town.

“I’m always looking for fun and interesting characters,” Rohrer said. “This was one.”

John Manka owns the body shop where the movie was filmed, 1 STOP Tire and Auto, and helped produce it. For him, seeing how a movie is made was the best

Members of the African Children’s Choir sing and dance to “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands” during their Oct. 19 performance at the Good Shepherd Episcopal Church in Centennial. The choir is comprised of 18 Ugandan 8- to 10-year-old boys and girls. The audience of about 300 gave two standing ovations to the choirs’ energetic and moving performance. Photos by Tom Munds

African Children’s Choir member, Michelle, smiles as she talks about the performances. She said she loves singing about God to the people and while she gets a little tired sometimes, she loves to perform because it is so much fun.

Young performers amaze audience with skill, music African Children’s Choir brings song, dance to south metro area

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The air in the Good Shepherd Episcopal Church sanctuary crackled with the electric energy during the Oct. 18 performance by the African Children’s Choir.

The 18 brightly clad children jumped, danced and whirled constantly as they sang the songs in their own distinctive style during the 90-minute performance in Centennial.

“I came with my mom tonight to hear children present the music of another culture,” Grace Bugan, 13, said as she was finding a seat for the concert. “I really don’t know what to expect but I am sure there will be some drumming.”

The choir opened the performance with

a fast-tempo song called “Rejoice” that included very energetic dancing.

Most of the songs were uptempo and accompanied by pounding drums. On some numbers, the audience followed the urging of the choir to clap along with them.

Some of the songs were about their country and cultural aspects like catching fish while avoiding crocodiles or planting a crop. But they also did some traditional hymns like “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands” and “Amazing Grace.” They sang the first verse in the traditional tempo but then switched to their own very original, upbeat arrangement while doing an intricate dance routine.

The 18 children are all from Uganda.

“The children tour for about 10 months,” Heidi Morn, tour leader, said. “They have done about 100 concerts and still have about 30 more on the schedule before they head home.”

She arranged for an interview with choir

member Michelle and explained it is their policy not to release the last names of the children.

“I love being part of the choir,” the 8-year-old said. “I love it because we get to bless people by singing to them about God. That is special because we want people to know God so they will go to heaven.”

The energetic performances are physically demanding and Michelle said she sometimes is a little tired after the performance.

“Yes, I get tired sometimes,” she said.

“But that is allright because being on stage with the choir is so much fun.”

Centennial resident Emiliana Whipp said she really enjoyed the concert.

“The children are talented singers and dancers,” the 11-year-old said. “I loved watching them because they were so enthusiastic and full of energy. I loved the music and it was a really fun concert.”

The African Children’s Choir was created 30 years ago by Ray Barnett. He was inspired when, on a humanitarian trip to Uganda, he gave a young boy a ride and the

boy started doing what he did best, sing.

The program stated that no one was interested in Uganda when Barnett returned to Canada, but he knew if people were to see a group of those beautiful children, they would be deeply moved and want to help them.

He rallied support and coordinated the first tour of the choir. The choir’s tour was a success and the donations they received enabled the construction of a children’s home in Uganda to provide a stable environment and quality education for choir members and other children who needed care.

The continued choir success resulted in construction of six more homes for children, many of whom had been orphaned during wars and fighting. Music for Love, the parent organization of the African Children’s Choir, reaches out to children and orphans in seven African countries.

The children who performed in Centennial are African Children’s Choir 45, while children are being taught the program to fill the ranks of Choir 46, which will begin touring early next year.

Lively days in Denver light up new book ‘Rich People Behaving Badly’ written by former Post editor

Count the

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “The foibles of people, rich or poor, remain the same: Only fashions change,” Dick Kreck wrote in his introductory note after comparing his stories to today’s reality and gossip shows on TV. The introduction is to his latest book, “Rich People Behaving Badly.”

His gossipy tales — 15 stories with historic photos — are culled from early newspaper stories and public records (he had a 38-year career as editor and columnist for the Denver Post). He is very familiar with the extensive resources of the Western History Department at Denver Public Library and regional libraries and museums.

Readers may be familiar with his previous books, entertaining looks at area history, including: “Murder at the Brown Palace: A True Story of Seduction and Betrayal” (involves the owner of the Highlands Ranch Mansion); “Hell on Wheels: Wicked Towns Along the Union Pacific Railroad”; and “Smaldone: The Untold Story of an American Crime Family.”

There are chapters about William Newton Byers, owner/publisher of the Rocky Mountain News (“The Great Scandal”) and about Frederick Bonfils, who bought the Denver Post with Harry Tammen in 1895 for $12,500 and pursued what Kreck calls “fire-wagon journalism.”

Both became involved with other women, politics and a quest for personal power …

The tale of Isabel Springer, whose wealthy husband owned the Highlands Ranch Mansion, is condensed into a chapter here, but those who want to know more can find Kreck’s “Murder at the Brown Palace,” which really gives a picture of journalism at the time — competition was for the wildest storyline. Isabel, living in a Brown Palace apartment (she didn’t like being in the country), was entertaining two lovers, also staying at the famous hotel, who found out about each other!

Shooting followed.

“The Prince and the Socialite” tells of society woman Jane Tomberlain, who met dashing Hawaiian Prince Samuel Crowningburg-Amalu, the chief Kapiikauinamoku, Prince of Keawe, on an elevator at the Brown Palace, where she lived. He missed their wedding and managed to build up a string of debts and bad checks across the world …

Breast cancer affects us all, and early detection can save lives. There is no cure for breast cancer, but mammograms can save lives by finding breast cancer as early as possible. Every woman, beginning at age 40, should schedule a mammogram and a physical every year. Women should also perform a thorough breast self-exam once a month. Help spread awareness in your community by educating your neighbors and friends on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, and encourage the women you know to schedule a mammogram today.

The Valor Christian softball team celebrates its 3-1 victory in the 4A state final. Photos by Paul DiSalvo

Valor wins third title in a row Eagles defeat Erie for another softball crown

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Valor Christian’s ace Alexandra Kilponen went the distance in the 4A state finals. Kilponen held Erie to one run in the championship game and struck out 13 batters as Valor Christian took its third state title in as many years.

KEEPING SCORE WITH...

GARRET T DUNN ck Senior football and tra athlete ol Ponderosa High Scho

Why do you participate in sports?

I participate in sports because it teaches life lessons about determination, perseverance and hard work. I also do it for the competitiveness. I enjoy competition and that also helps you set up for later in life. It’s a competitive world no matter what you do.

What is your favorite type of music and who is your favorite artist/ group?

I listen to many genres of music, depends on my mood. I enjoy Kid Cudi and Eminem.

What is your favorite subject in

Winning a third straight Class 4A state softball championship for Valor Christian seemed predictable to some, but it was emotional for others.

Valor Christian completed a three-peat with a 3-1 victory over top-seeded and previously unbeaten Erie in the 4A state title game Oct. 22 at Aurora Sports Park.

“I’m very emotional,” Valor Christian coach Dave Atencio said. “It’s one of the toughest seasons we’ve had. Coming in as back-to-back state champions, everybody wanted a piece of us. Erie was No. 1 all season.

“This title is the most special for one reason. I came to Valor four years ago, so this senior class is my first full class. They’ve been with me from that first day and we’ve won three in a row. We Valor continues on Page 26

school?

I find science very interesting.

Science can explain just about any questions you may have about the world.

Do you play video games, and if so, which one(s)?

Yes, I enjoy “Far Cry” because you can do the campaign while doing many side missions and hunting mammoths and sabertooth tigers.

Do you have any pre-competition superstitions or rituals? If so, what are they?

I always sit next to my same teammate on the bus and our team does the same pregame warm ups in the same order every time What is your favorite book? Why? The “Giver” because it showed me a different way of thinking. It makes you think where our society is headed and if that is what we want to become.

“Keeping Score With…” is a Q&A with high school athletes in the south metro area. Email Colorado Community Media sports writer Jim Benton at jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com if you or someone you know would like to participate.

 Alexandria Kilponen, softball, junior, Valor Christian: She won four games in pitching the Eagles to the Class 4A state softball championship Oct. 21-22 at Aurora Sports Park. She pitched 24 innings, surrendered only two earned runs and struck out 46 batters.  Shae Henley, cross country, freshman, ThunderRidge: Henley won the Class 5A Region 3 girls championship on Oct. 20 at Redstone Park in Highlands Ranch with a time of 19:43.  Jake Archuleta, football, senior, Douglas County: He helped the Huskies beat Westminster, 25-15, on Oct. 21 when he was credited with 18 total tackles, including three for losses.  Caroline Eck, cross country, sophomore, Mountain Vista: Eck was crowned the girls Region 5 champion on Oct. 20 in Colorado Springs when she won the 5A race with a time of 18:37.17.  Parker Klein, soccer, senior, Ponderosa: Klein, the leading scorer in the Continental League with 42 points and 17 goals, had an assist and scored the game-winning goal in overtime as the Mustangs defeated Castle View, 2-1, on Oct. 20 at Douglas County Stadium.

Colorado Community Media selects five athletes from high schools in the south metro area each week as “Standout Performers.” Preference is given to athletes making their debut on the list. To nominate an athlete, contact Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Denver Broncos running back Kapri Bibbs had the full attention of Castle View football players before a practice session on Oct. 18.

The former Colorado State University standout talked to the players for 30 Jim Benton minutes as part of the Game of the OVERTIME Broncos’ Week promotion.

And, as coach Dustin Pfeiffer related, his players were intent while listing to Bibbs.

“He addressed the team about the importance (of fighting) for everything that you aspire to be,” Pfeiffer said. “He gave his story of how he got to the place he is at currently and his future.

“He spoke about the importance of education and doing well in school. He also gave the kids a reference of what it means to be a good teammate and how important it is to care about one another.”

Action in one place Watching the girls state high school softball tournament brought a “remember-when moment.”

The softball tournament was held Oct. 21 and 22 at Aurora Sports Park. There were only three classifications and it was an easy walk between the complexes.

So a person could watch a 3A game, stroll to the adjacent complex and catch part of a 5A game or amble to take in a 4A contest. And, all the championship games on Oct. 22 were at the same complex.

It reminded me when there were still only three classes and not five and all the games in the boys state basketball tournament were held at the Auditorium Arena in downtown Denver.

Some of those Class A Merino teams were fun to watch, along with the bigger schools like Denver Christian, Glenwood Springs, Highland and the big boys like Wheat Ridge, Manual and Boulder, to name just a few.

‘Stringy’ in hall-of-fame class Maurice “Stringy” Ervin, who coached Littleton’s boys and girls swimming teams for 46 seasons, will be inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame at the 53rd annual banquet April 27, 2017 at Denver City Marriott Center.

Ervin, a Littleton native who was a three-sport standout for the Lions, coached a combined 12 boys and girls state championship teams and the Lions were runners-up six times under Ervin’s tutelage.

He coached 40 individual state champions and 21 state championship relay teams.

Ervin will be inducted in a class that includes ex-defensive back Champ Bailey of the Denver Broncos, former Colorado Rockies slugger Dante Bichette, world class mogul skier and Colorado football athlete Jeremy Bloom, CU All-American lineman and nine-season National Football League player John Wooten and squash player Hashim Khan.

Douglas County influence in win Cherokee Trail won the Class 5A state softball championship with a 1-0 victory over Broomfield on Oct. 22 at Aurora Sports Park and there was a Douglas County flavor to the Cougars’ title.

Cougars’ head coach Caley Mitchell is the former Castle View coach and her assistant was her dad, Toby Tabola, who was the longtime softball coach at Ponderosa.

A Valor Christian volleyball player was incorrectly identified in a photograph in last week’s edition. Here is the correct caption: Courtney Lane spikes the ball over the net during the Oct. 10 league volleyball game against D’Evelyn.

Valor runners heads to state Staff report Valor Christian’s boys and girls teams both qualified for state in the Class 4A cross country regionals Oct. 20 at Cherry Creek Reservoir.

Niwot won the boys title with 45 points and Valor was fourth with 106 points. The Eagles were led by Josh Thompson, who finished seventh with a time of 17:14, just ahead of teammate Will Wixson, who finished eighth with a time of 17:15.

were tired of hearing Erie being No. 1. We showed who is No. 1.”

Senior catcher Erica Mann was on the state title team with her sister Shelby as a sophomore and also couldn’t hide her emotion during the post-game celebrations.

“This year was just so sweet,” Mann said. “I am emotional. This is crazy. I’m so happy. I’m overjoyed. It was a tough year.

Erie put up a great fight. So many teams came after us. We thought we had a target on our backs last year. We had a big old bullseye on our backs this year.”

Valor (24-1) had to work hard in this year’s state tournament.

The Eagles, seeded third, downed Thomas Jefferson, 7-3, in the opening game and edged Silver Creek, 1-0, in the second round. Freshman Hannah Hollander singled in the seventh inning and was driven home by senior Abigail Zuschlag in the close call against Silver Creek.

Mann hit two home runs and had four runs batted in as Valor advanced into the state title game with a 9-1 semifinal win

Centaurus won the Class 4A girls team title with 35 points. The Eagles were fourth with 82 points and they were led by Keeley Jones, who finished second in the individual standings with a time of 19:26.

ers, are three-time U.S. Olympian Rachel Dawson and two-time U.S. Olympic player Melissa Gonzalez.

Cost for the clinic is $20 for USA Field Hockey members and $25 for non-members. A T-shirt and admission to the title game is included.

over Mountain View.

Sophomore Savannah Behabetz had two singles in the title game and scored on Mann’s infield hit and a passed ball.

Senior Madalyn Mitchell hit a solo home for the Eagles.

Junior pitcher Alexandria Kilponen was instrumental in all four victories.

She allowed 22 hits, two earned runs and struck out 46 batters in the four games, including 13 against Erie.

A classic showdown took place in the sixth inning of the title contest, with two Tiger runners on base and Kilponen facing her summer teammate Rio Sanchez, the Tigers’ best hitter and standout pitcher.

“We kept going at her,” said Atencio, who coaches both players on the Colorado Styxx Gold during summer competition. “We were not going to let her beat us.”

Sanchez, the only senior on the Erie roster, fouled off eight pitches before Kilponen struck her out with a backdoor curve.

“We knew this is what we had to work for and this is what we worked for all season,” Kilponen said.

“Heart will win over talent, even though we have one of the best teams with talent, but we had the heart, too.”

Jaguars and Huskies stopped in second round South metro area teams eliminated in state softball tournament

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Rock Canyon senior Sloane Stewartson, who led the Continental League in hitting, hits a single during a second round Class 5A state tournament game on Oct. 21 at Aurora Sports Park. The Jaguars defeated Grand Junction Central, 3-2, in a first-round game but then lost to eventual state champion Cherokee Trail, 7-4, in the second round when the Cougars hit a grand slam in the bottom of the seventh to come from behind to beat Rock Canyon.

Answers

Rock Canyon and Douglas County advanced to the second round of the Class 5A state softball tournament on Oct. 21 at Aurora Sports Park but lost to the two teams that played for the state championship.

Legend and Cherry Creek were ousted in their opening games.

Rock Canyon opened with a 3-2 win over Grand Junction and had eventual state champion Cherokee Trail on the ropes in the quarterfinals.

The Jaguars, which ended the season with a 13-10 record, grabbed a 4-0 lead against Cherokee Trail thanks in part to a single

by Claire Noyes and a two-run single off the bat of Reggie Gaglione.

Heading into the bottom of the seventh, Rock Canyon was nursing a 4-3 lead but a grand slam home by Chloe Knapp sent Cherokee Trail into the semifinals with a 7-4 victory.

“It was a great season with a great group of girls,” Rock Canyon head coach Debbie Kortbawi said.

“The leadership of the four seniors we had was amazing. They were here three years ago and wanted to get back and they did.”

Sophomore pitcher Savanna Reiners hurled a two-hit shutout for Continental League champion Douglas County in a 10-0 first round win over Mountain Range.

The Huskies face top-seeded Broomfield and trailed 5-4 in the sixth inning but made three er-

rors as the state runner-up Eagles tallied seven runs to eliminate Douglas County with a 12-4 victory.

Douglas County wrapped up the season with an 18-6 record.

“They were a tough bunch of kids,” Douglas County coach Brian Stebbins said. “We went down 5-0 to the No. 1 team in the state and they were the best team we’ve seen. These girls did not fold up. They rallied and fought back hard. They had a little more in the tank than we did.

“We won our first league championship since 2003, made it to the final eight, so it was a great year.”

Legend ended the season with a 16-6-1 record after dropping a first-round 5-3 decision to Fort Collins. The Titans outhit the Lambkins, 11-5, but surrendered two runs in the sixth inning, which snapped a 3-3 tie.

Seniors Karlee Arnold and Lexi Hager each had two hits for Legend. Jesse Smith, another senior, belted a two-run homer.

“We left 10 runners on and we just couldn’t get that timely hit,” Titans coach Kristen Shirk said. “It was definitely not how we wanted to finish but the softball gods didn’t rule our way against Fort Collins.”

Cherry Creek, the tournament’s 16th seed, was whipped 16-1 by Broomfield in the first game but coach Allison McKean feels this year’s team that finished with an 11-12 record might have sparked something.

“We hadn’t been to state since 2009,” she said. “Creek is back.

Creek has not been known for having a good softball program.

We have to keep it going. This was a young team.”
