The Douglas County School District’s fiveplus years of education reform have made national headlines. But some community members say the district’s extensive communications effort accompanying the changes glosses over their deep concerns, drowning them under a tidal wave of multi-channel messages to parents, district employees, students and county residents. To try to make their voices heard, parent and teacher groups have launched their own Facebook pages and websites, established groups, invited education experts to speak in public venues, filed lawsuits, organized protests, made innumerable open-records requests, filed formal complaints and devoted countless volunteer hours to broadcasting their own story. At the same time, the district’s communications department has grown in size, budget and sophistication. The department’s adopted 2014-15 budget, which includes salaries for 14 full-time equivalent positions, is about $934,000. That’s an almost 80 percent increase from five years ago, when the 2009-10 total communications budget was $524,500. DCSD’s communications department uses

emailed parent and employee newsletters, its website, a cable TV channel, radio program, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to relay information to students, parents, staff and community members. The picture painted in DCSD’s messages doesn’t always match what the community is seeing, critics say. “Our polls show a lack of support” for the major reforms, said Gary Colley, a retired teacher who launched the Community Ac-

countability Committee for DCSD and who’s asked the board to ensure the community agrees with changes before implementing them. “We’re just trying to get some reasonable responsiveness from our elected officials.” School board members believe they are being responsive, but also staying true to the reform path on which they were elected.

There were police hats as far as the eye could see. The streets were lined with officers from around the county and world who flocked to New York City on Dec. 27 to stand with and for their fallen brothers. NYPD officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were shot and killed as they sat in a marked squad car in Brooklyn on Dec. 20. The suspect in the shooting then shot and

killed himself. “They’ve been through so much in the last month in New York,” Douglas County Sheriff’s Lt. Tommy Barella said. “They’ve had a lot going on politically and socially and to have two of their brothers assassinated in broad daylight, it was nice to go out there and stand shoulder to shoulder with agencies from all around the country, and to just look across the street and see the New York officers staring back at us was special. They sought us out before and after to thank us for coming and supporting them. It was an honor.” Barella and friend Lt. Adam New York continues on Page 10

Gas drops to lowest prices in years South metro area seeing $2 a gallon or less in most areas By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Gasoline prices have fallen to their lowest point in years, bringing relief to consumers at the pump. According to the AAA Fuel Gauge Report, which tracks and compares prices nationally, fuel prices in the Denver metro area have fallen more than a dollar since the same time last year. “I think it has been a big relief for a lot of people, especially considering how high the prices were a few years ago,” said Ryan Strange, a Denver resident who stopped to fill up at the Conoco station at 9010 Park Meadows Drive in Lone Tree. As of Jan. 5, the average price per gallon in Denver was $2.05 for regular gas, down from $3.14 at the same time in 2014. Many stations in the south metro area were selling gas for

less than $2 a gallon. Nationally, the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline was $2.19, down from $3.31 a year ago. “Lower gas prices are a huge benefit for consumers in Douglas County and around Colorado this winter, especially for commuters and those travelling over the holidays,” said Amy Sherman, president of the Northwest Douglas County Economic Development Organization and chairwoman of the Douglas County Energy Coalition. A number of factors have contributed to the drop in prices at the pump, including the drop in the cost of crude oil. According to a recent report by The Economist, the price of oil has dropped 40 percent since June, when it was $115 a barrel. It is now below $70. A number of factors have contributed to the decline in oil prices, including low demand caused by weak economic activity globally; the fact that turmoil in the Middle East, especially Libya and Iraq, has not caused a slowdown in oil production as many forecasters expected; the rise of America as an energy

producer, which has weakened demand for fuel from overseas; and the influx of other energy sources such as natural gas and green energies like solar and wind. While lower gasoline prices have been a welcome sight to consumers, there is some long-term concern about the drop in prices among oil-producing states like Texas, Oklahoma and North Dakota, where oil jobs make up a large sector of the state economy. If prices continue to drop or stay low, it could mean a loss of jobs. However, there is still optimism in Colorado, where fossil fuel extraction from shale and natural gas are leading the way. “Fortunately, Coloradans benefit in a variety of ways because Colorado is an energyproducing state,” Sherman said. “A recent study by the University of Colorado Leeds School of Business confirms the numerous economic benefits of the oil and natural gas industry in Colorado: high-paying jobs, increased tax revenue, funds for classrooms, energy savings, and resources for public safety. These numerous benefits remain, even as complex gas prices fluctuate.”

Marijuana conference set for Lone Tree Policy-makers, law officers expected from around U.S. By Jane Reuter jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com About 400 law enforcement officers and policy-makers from across the country will meet at the Lone Tree Arts Center for a mid-January conference on the public health impacts of marijuana. The Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police is pre-

senting the three-day event, “Marijuana Impact on Public Health and Safety in Colorado,” set for Jan. 14-16. Registered participants include a large contingent from Alaska — where voters late in 2014 approved the legalization of marijuana. Conference workshops will focus on home grow operations, concentrates and edibles, driving stoned, data collection, economic impacts and state and federal regulations, among other issues. Conference promoters and lobbying company Jensen Public Affairs said they marketed the event to city council Marijuana continues on Page 6

Consultant mixed on school changes Wagner commonly cited as district touts reforms By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School District repeatedly cites Harvard education expert Tony Wagner’s work with the district on what it refers to as “the most rigorous transformation plan in American public education,” but Wagner doesn’t support much of what DCSD has done — including vouchers. He also said he finds pay for performance problematic. Wagner, a Harvard University-based education specialist and former K-8 principal, speaks frequently at national and international education conferences about the need to transform American education. His 2008 book, “The Global Achievement Gap,” is an international best-seller. Wagner’s film, “Most Likely to Succeed,” debuts Jan. 26 at Utah’s Sundance Film Festival. The documentary is described as an examination of the educational environment most likely to prepare students for a fast-changing world. Wagner said he could not confirm or deny whether DCSD will be included in the film. In a recent interview, Wagner said he cautioned the district during a 2012 visit

not to implement its reform plans without community and teacher support. “I think the surrounding politics is poisoning the well and will make full and successful implementation of the educational initiatives exceedingly difficult, if not impossible,” said Wagner. “I, in fact, spoke with the board and warned them. I said if they continued to pursue these other priorities and continue to undermine trust with teachers, they will never be able to realize the kinds of educational changes they desire. In my experience, trust and respect are absolutely preconditions for changes in teaching and learning.” Under the reforms, teachers are faced with changing curriculum, new planning methods, increased testing and self-evaluations that are factored into potential pay increases. Teachers districtwide have expressed concerns about the complexity and validity of the changes. Wagner visited the school district as a consultant in December 2012, and said he hasn’t been back since. He was paid $12,500 for presentations given to faculty, parents and the school board. School board president Kevin Larsen, who was fairly new to the board when Wagner visited, said many changes have occurred since then. “That was early in the formation stages of the pay-change structure, and even the early implementation of the evaluation

system,” he said. “I think each year there’s been more time to adapt and adjust and to improve the system.” Larsen acknowledged DCSD has seen some turnover since the changes debuted. The state shows Douglas County’s teacher turnover for 2013-14 at 17.23 percent. The figure is higher than that of surrounding suburban districts, and higher than in DCSD’s past. But Larsen believes those who remain or came since the policy changes were implemented understand the system, and “are finding this to be a productive, nurturing and successful environment.” “It’s not perfect yet,” Larsen said. “But we’re always working to keep that moving ahead.” Wagner said he is impressed with DCSD Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen, describing her as a “very strong instructional leader.” But during his 2012 visit, “I made very clear to (Fagen) I was not in favor of vouchers,” Wagner said. DCSD’s proposed voucher program allows parents to use public funds for their student toward tuition at select private schools. “I was extremely concerned about what had happened with the union and teacher morale,” Wagner added. “I was very explicit I was not there in any way to support the other priorities of the board. “I am supportive of their efforts to re-

imagine outcomes and assessments for the 21st century. I am very concerned about a number of other priorities. Anytime there is a breakdown in communication between the bargaining unit of teachers and the board, there is deep cause for concern.” The longstanding contract between the district and the Douglas County Federation of Teachers expired in mid-2012 after negotiations came to a standstill. Wagner described pay for performance, which DCSD implemented in a revamped form in 2012, as “very challenging and difficult,” and said it’s difficult to make a case for major change “in a district that is already high-performing.” Wagner said he has not closely followed developments in DCSD, and that Fagen has not sought any additional advice. Larsen said the district doesn’t agree with all its consultants’ advice. “Even all of these experts don’t agree with one another completely,” he said. “Our district isn’t going to mirror any one person in the field’s point of view. We’re going to glean pieces of all of that and develop what’s best for Douglas County.” Wagner doesn’t necessarily object to the district using his name. “I guess I would rather they make more clear exactly what I supported,” he said, “but I don’t know that it’s worth a big struggle.”

members, county commissioners and legislators as well as law officers. The vast majority of attendees work in law enforcement, said Jensen Public Affairs CEO Annmarie Jensen. “The question is not whether marijuana should be legal; the question is how does it impact public safety and how can we best be reacting to it,” she said. “It’s meant to help others learn from Colorado’s marijuana experience about what is working well, what is not working, how we’re regulating it, and where the holes are in our laws, rule or Constitution that may be keeping it from being integrated as well as it might.”

Invited speakers include Gov. John Hickenlooper, U.S. Attorney John Walsh and vice director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Karin McGowan. Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning will kick off the event with welcoming comments. CACP president John Jackson, who is chief of police in Greenwood Village, characterized the event as a discussion among professionals about a rapidly changing aspect of law. Twenty-three states and the District of Columbia have laws legalizing marijuana in some form. That includes four states that legalized recreational marijuana. Colorado was the first to sell legal recreational marijuana, beginning in January 2014. That makes it a logical choice for the conference. “We’ve been the epicenter for this,” Jackson said. “We’re trying to create a really dynamic and proactive discussion on the topic, and to teach people what we

here in Colorado have gone through and are continuing to learn.” The police chiefs organization intends to be on the forefront, Jackson said. “We need to have a leadership role in public safety issues,” he said. “Somebody has to coordinate this nationwide. “ Given the results of recent elections, Jackson believes the need for resources and information tied to marijuana legalization will only grow. “From Washington, D.C., to Alaska is a pretty broad swath of land,” he said. “It certainly wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility that it would be legalized in other states.” Jensen estimates half the conference-goers are from Colorado. Lone Tree Police Chief Jeff Streeter plans to attend the event, though legalization has had a relatively minor impact on his department. “Lone Tree was ahead of the game, in that ordinances were passed not to have cultivation and distribution locations,” he said. “For us, it’s been a little different than maybe others that have those retail locations.” Lone Tree has seen an increase in suspected incidents of driving under the influence of drugs, Streeter said. The conference is closed to the public.

Keep talent in U.S., fix immigration system By Norman Stucker

After an almost never-ending election season, most Coloradans are tired of political talking points. It seemed every politician had the best ideas for boosting the economy, a foolproof plan for fostering job growth, and the cleverest tactics for keeping us competitive in the global economy. The good news is that the posturing has ended, leaving a real way that our representatives in Congress can keep their promises — by enacting permanent, comprehensive immigration reform. Regardless of your political persuasion, the president’s recent announcement is a temporary, targeted fix. The executive action on immigration exercised under his limited authority puts a Band-Aid on a broken system that is harming multiple facets of our society - and particularly our economy. As you read this, hundreds of Colorado’s high-tech companies are losing the world’s best and brightest engineers, researchers, scientists, and programmers as they return to their native countries after being educated in our schools. That’s because under our dated and defunct immigration system there aren’t enough H-1B visas — visas for highly skilled foreign workers — for the number of workers growing companies need. The number of visas has been capped at 85,000 since 2004, impairing burgeoning tech companies from hiring the highly skilled labor they need. These workers attend our schools, colleges, and universities and then we send them back home to compete with us, severely dulling our competitive edge and preventing companies from keeping talent here in the United States. President Obama’s announcement does prioritize some reforms that will be helpful for business, including new regulations easing restrictions on foreign managers and executives to work in the U.S., allowing the spouses of H-1B visa holders to work, and expanding the Optical Practical Training Program, a program that allows foreign students to work in the country. It will also allow workers waiting for H-1B petitions from their employers, but for whom a visa is unavailable, to apply for an adjustment of status. Finally, it will help entrepreneurs who are starting businesses and creating jobs to stay in the country

and continue fostering growth. While these provisions provide some temporary benefits for high-tech companies, we need Congress to enact sweeping reform that will bring our immigration system in line with a 21st century economy. In 2013 the Senate passed a bipartisan bill, crafted in part by Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet, which would have addressed many of the problems hurting the high-tech industry. The bill would have increased the number of H-1B visas available, and was supported by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. A report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that enacting immigration reform would reduce the deficit by $197 billion in the first ten years, by $700 billion over 20 years, and would increase the GDP by 3.3 percent in 2023, and by 5.1 to 5.7 percent in 2033. That bill has never even been brought up for a vote in the House of Representatives. Our current immigration system is stifling growth and keeping us at a disadvantage. While a step in the right direction, the president’s announcement has not fixed it. After a heated and tumultuous election season,

Congress has a genuine opportunity to follow through on their campaign promises and enact legislative reform that will grow our economy and give American companies a needed competitive edge. Norman Stucker is general manager of PADT-Colorado and chair of the Economic Development Group at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce.

CU, Jabs simplify art of starting business Center for Entrepreneurship opens at CU South Denver By Chris Michlewicz

Two state patrol cars involved in crashes near Castle Rock Douglas County sheriff ’s deputy was also hit Staff report Colorado State Patrol cars were involved in two crashes near Castle Rock on Dec.29. Both incidents were related to the snowy and icy conditions of the roads as the Denver metro area received between 5-9 inches of snow and saw temperatures dip below zero. The first, which involved a Douglas County sheriff’s deputy, occurred on the northbound lanes of I-25 near milepost 179, just south of Castle Rock. A trooper and the deputy were injured. According to Colorado State Patrol Sgt. Rob Madden, both officers were taken to Castle Rock Adventist hospital to be treated for minor injuries and released. Colorado State Patrol said the investigation into the incident shows three vehicles were involved in the crash and it appears the deputy and trooper were outside of their vehicles at

the time of the crash. The driver of the third vehicle lost control on the highway, and the vehicle hit the sheriff’s deputy’s car. The driver who caused the accident was cited for careless driving resulting in injury. The patrol car slid toward a jersey barrier and hit both the trooper and the deputy. Both officers were “caught between the jersey barrier and the vehicle” for a short time but escaped significant injuries by using their hands to push the sliding car off their bodies while being pinned, the state patrol explained on Twitter after the accident. Another accident involving a state trooper happened about 10 miles south of Castle Rock on I-25. A trooper’s vehicle was parked on the highway shoulder when a driver lost control and slid into it, Madden said. The trooper was inside the vehicle. The impact sent the trooper’s vehicle off the road and down a 40-foot embankment. Neither the trooper nor the driver of the crashed vehicle were seriously injured and were not taken to a hospital.

Jake Jabs would have seized the opportunity to draw from Denver’s deep pool of entrepreneurial talent. Most Coloradans know him as the successful, tiger-loving pitchman and founder of American Furniture Warehouse. But before his face and distinctive voice made their way onto our television sets, Jabs navigated a world unknown to him. For years, he struggled to avoid the common pitfalls that can derail a fledgling business. “Everything was by the seat of my pants, and I made a lot of mistakes,” Jabs says. Things have come full circle, and the University of Colorado’s Center for Entrepreneurship now has Jabs’ name attached to it. He donated $10 million to the school, primarily because he wanted to give Denver’s ever-growing contingent of entrepreneurs a chance to bypass those headaches. And because there is an inherent willingness among seasoned entrepreneurs to assist their business-green brethren, Jabs and CU are putting the pieces in place this spring to breed success.

The Launchpad: Starting January 2015 Forbes lists Denver as the #2 City for entrepreneurship and innovation. Be a part of this trend. Starting January 2015, the Jake Jabs Center for Entrepreneurship is offering a new certificate in entrepreneurship. This certificate is designed for students or business professionals who want to get academic and experiential knowledge in innovation. Registration is available for both degree and non-degree options.

Conecting South Denver to a pathway in ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Known as the Launchpad, the program is intended to help entrepreneurs either start their own business or improve an existing business. “I’m a big believer in entrepreneurship,” Jabs said. “It’s driving America — new ideas and new programs, how to do things better.” By offering entrepreneurship classes at CU’s new facility at The Wildlife Jabs Experience, on the southwest corner of Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street, the south metro area is about to become a wellspring for professional talent, churning out gleaming examples of what can happen with a little bit of guidance. CU is partnering with community colleges to bring in students who have considered pursuing a full degree but don’t have the necessary time or money. By taking just a few eight-week courses on their own schedule, students can earn a certificate of entrepreneurship from CU, bolstering their traditional education with the knowledge of how to start a business. The idea is to send them out into the world well-equipped to face any challenge. “We teach them the basic skills of business: accounting and balancing a budget

Decide how to answer “Should I” questions Here’s the first scenario … one of our New Year’s resolutions was to get in better shape, lose weight, improve muscle tone, and increase our cardiovascular endurance. We are one week into our commitment, eating right and living at the gym when some well-intentioned associate decides to bring bagels and doughnuts into the office or store. And that is when the question pops into our head, “Should I or shouldn’t I?” And now the second scenario … we are out celebrating with friends. Maybe it’s a birthday, anniversary, or just watching our favorite teams in the local sports bar. The night is going incredibly well and everyone is having a ton of fun. As a matter of fact it is one of the best nights we have had in a long time as we share a great time with our closest friends and family. Before we know it, it’s decision time about driving home. The drive could be two blocks, two miles, or two hours and we have a decision to make about getting behind the wheel, and so here comes that question again, “Should I or shouldn’t I?” Now trust me, I am not trying to steal anyone’s fun or assume the role of the postChristmas Scrooge or Grinch. Stay with me on this one for just a little bit longer, OK? Let’s try the third scenario … we are in a rush, running late for a very important meeting, maybe even a final job interview or other equally significant event. As we scramble to gather ourselves together, bolt into the parking lot or garage for our car, we witness an elderly couple who has just dropped their groceries all over the parking

garage. There are milk and eggs running everywhere and cans rolling underneath the surrounding parked cars. We are already running late, our future could be on the line

and yet there is that question again, “Should I or shouldn’t I?” Should I eat that doughnut or bagel? Should I get behind the wheel? Should I stop and help these folks who obviously need help? Each scenario is vastly different from the other. And that’s the point right? I mean we are faced with “Should I or shouldn’t I” situations all the time. The answer or response is going to be different for everyone based on our individual belief systems and level of integrity and commitment to our integrity. One definition of integrity is this, “Doing the right thing even when no one else is looking.” So with integrity defined in that way, the “Should I or shouldn’t I” question that pops into our heads in any situation could really be a non-question or issue as we already know what our answer or response will be, don’t we? Doing the right thing and making the

right choices in life always sounds easy, but in reality it is something that many people struggle with each and every day. This especially impacts our youth who are surrounded by peer pressure in unprecedented ways. “Should I go along to get along?” “Should I do the same things others are doing just to be accepted?” Tough stuff for sure, but better managed with a stronger belief system. And it’s not just our children or the youth, we as adults are faced with “Should I or shouldn’t I” questions every day too. And we know the difference between wrong and right, don’t we? I mean it’s just that darn temptation thing that keeps popping up, isn’t it? Here’s a tip that has helped me and it just might help you too. Commitment to our belief system, commitment to our goals, commitment to integrity places us in a position to respond favorably long before the decision point of “Should I or shouldn’t I.” As we start 2015, it has the potential to be the year where accomplishment trumps defeat, where commitment outruns temptation, and where retreat gives way to persistence and perseverance. How about you, are you already solid in knowing how you will respond in any “Should I or shouldn’t I” scenarios? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we are grounded in how we will respond, 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.

letters to the editor Restoring trust through surveys

Open this paper on any given week and chances are you will see evidence of turmoil within the Douglas County School District. Our community is deeply divided when it comes to the direction and future of education in Douglas County. Reinstating parent, teacher and community surveys is the first step toward healing this divide and restoring trust in the school district. As elected officials, the board of education has the right to implement their reform initiatives in our schools, but they don’t have the right to skirt accountability, especially when it comes to the parents and students they serve. It’s been almost five years since the district accepted the results of a parent survey, despite the numerous requests by parents to reinstate annual district surveys. Surveying and then partnering with parents to understand and acknowledge their concerns will help move our district forward in a positive direction. Recently, Ted Knight, DCSD’s assistant superintendent of elementary education, stated that “It is becoming tougher

and tougher to find good principals.” This statement is alarming because Douglas County used to be a destination district for principals and teachers. While the state TELL survey does measure many building level factors, and it has shown that there is a valid concern with the district’s evaluation system, it does not clearly measure employee morale. Reinstating employee surveys will help the district identify what factors need to be addressed in order to rebuild the positive culture and climate it was once known for. Members of the community who do not have children attending Douglas County schools comprise 70 percent of the county’s population. Building partnerships with our community starts with understanding the general perception of our district and its schools. Unfortunately, Mr. Larsen’s recent statement in regards to a survey timeline, “We are continuing to examine the right way to proceed,” appears to be yet another attempt to stall surveys. Reinstating surveys before the end of this school year, asking the tough questions to understand what is

working and not working, acknowledging the results and then committing to address them is the key to restoring trust, healing our community and rebuilding a positive climate and culture in our school district. Laura Mutton President, Strong Schools Coalition

Training facility a benefit to community

I was appalled at Diane Schrack’s very liberal and misinformed letter on the Douglas County Training Facility. We need more of these training facilities for our law enforcement agencies. More training enforces weapon handling safety. This is a great facility and supports agencies across the state. I would suggest Ms. Schrack purchase a weapon for personal protection and then take an NRA-sanctioned course such as Personal Protection in the Home. This course is offered at many of the ranges around the Douglas County and metro area. Her statement that “with cities Letter continues on Page 9

Judge not, and then nothing gets written Editor’s note: Author and curmudgeon Craig Marshall Smith is scheduled to talk about his new book, “This is not a dachshund III,” as well as his first two books, at the Highlands Ranch Tattered Cover, at 7 p.m. Jan. 16. I may have finally figured it out. If I write about someone who is getting attention for all of the wrong reasons, I am just adding to the attention they are getting. Not only that, “the wrong reasons” are my reasons. Who put me in charge? If you really care about a couple that thinks that extruding a child a year for 19 years is acceptable and entertaining, go ahead. I think it’s unconscionable. Some personalities are almost unavoidable. You would need blinders. I try my best. There are entire television programs devoted to the whereabouts of some celebrities. Half of the celebrities have nothing to celebrate, really, no meaningful accomplishments, no contributions, just more noxious gases. One particularly offensive family had its own show. White trash was the theme. Another particularly offensive family is still going strong, and I don’t know why. I can probably guess: hot, sleazy women

We obsess about what other people do. No, not your neighbors. We don’t obsess about them. Or do we? Judging others and living vicariously is what we do. There is a daily columnist in town who decides when a coach or a player has to be fired, traded or retired. I think it’s in his contract. How would you like that to be in your contract? I would not. Peyton Manning had an off day one Sunday and you-know-whom announced the next day that Manning was in his final glide pattern. I told Jennifer, “I would have bet the house

that K will write an obit for Manning.” The writer has never written a column approximating one of Manning’s off days. I said something to him once about this once, and he said, “You need help.” I have help. I have someone sitting on my shoulder, and it’s not him. It’s Mark Twain. I was at this grocery store this morning, and saw a magazine headline that said, “Taylor Swift is secretly dating.” I looked down at my frozen potatoes and shook my head. And then I shook my head because I was shaking my head. She makes more money in a year than every schoolteacher in America makes combined. I looked it up. Just don’t ask me for my disapproval list. I disapprove of it myself. I am quite certain that opinion writers look down on things to elevate ourselves. It’s easy for me to look down on a copy of People magazine and to be nauseous to the point of throwing up. And I get it in my head that I am above it. I am too intelligent to care about a vacuous celebrity. So you see? An opinion column is also an

opinion column about the writer. Another year has ended and I am not getting any younger. And the calendar on the wall. Well, you know. It’s ticking off your days too. My distal quiet is knowing that I gave it a good try. I know that I am a drone of judgment and that bothers me a little, but if I weren’t, and directed you to the whereabouts of someone or other in my column, I’d be miserable. I have yet to get through the society page. I would prefer to be a claims adjuster than to inform others about who showed up where. I guess it has it be done. Those people have money and contribute some of it to worthy causes. My thinking — and it’s just mine out here in the wigwam — is that you don’t have a photo shoot right after you donate. A fine-looking, Giacometti-thin dog walked past my house today, unattended. That made a bigger impression on me than who is secretly dating whom.

Securing a sustainable water future Colorado’s long-term water challenges are detailed in a recently completed draft of the statewide water plan. Residents and businesses in the south metro Denver region know well the challenges we all face in delivering a secure and sustainable water supply for current and future generations. Water is what makes the south metro Denver area’s incredible quality of life and growing economy possible. Historically our region has relied too heavily on non-renewable underground aquifers. We must diversify and increase our water supply, to protect home values and jobs and provide communities our children and grandchildren can call home. The South Metro Water Supply Authority and our 14 water provider members are executing a plan to do just that. All across the region, local municipalities are collaborating to execute an “all of the above” strategy that reflects statewide priorities laid out in the state plan. The strategy begins with conservation. Our region has reduced per capita water demand by more than 30 percent since 2000. Providers serving Highlands Ranch and Castle Rock are two of only three in the state to put water customers on a water budget that tracks use by household. Sterling Ranch is conducting the state’s first rainwater harvesting pilot

Column shows human side of immigration I read Ann Healey’s column about the undocumented woman, Rocio Mendez. I enjoyed reading it and can’t help but wonder how many millions of untold stories like hers there must be. Stories of true perseverance and courage, struggle and sacrifice; that we in our soft, comfortable, suburban lives would probably never have done so well to improve our lot in life, or

study. Inverness provides rebates for replacing turf with low water use landscaping. These are just a few examples of dozens throughout the region. Water stewardship goes beyond conservation, however. It also means building more efficient systems. Inverness Water and Sanitation and the Meridian Metropolitan District are among the earliest adopters of water reuse in Colorado. They reuse 100 percent of their water with zero discharge. Castle Rock recently completed the Plum Creek Water Purification Facility as part of its goal of getting 75 percent of its water from renewable sources. Our members also are investing in new water infrastructure and renewable water supplies that put the region on the path to a more sustainable and secure water future. The recently completed Rueter-Hess

even survived. Now we have all these children appearing at our borders, fleeing unthinkable violence in their home countries. What amazing stories they could probably share despite the very few years they have lived on this earth. And yet our nation has plenty of cold heartless souls standing at the border to taunt and insult them, hoping to scare and degrade them enough that they will go back home. Anyway, I am glad you shared Rocio’s story. If more writers would share such stories, perhaps people would realize that such important issues as immigration are not about American jobs and resources, arbitrary political borders, or protecting the dominance of one domestic ethnicity over another. No, they are about human lives, and selfless good people pushed to such horrible extremes that they would do anything to make a better life for themselves and their families. David Anderson Arvada

Reservoir provides storage to Parker and three other South Metro Water members. When filled, the reservoir will be 50 percent larger than Cherry Creek Reservoir. Similarly, Arapahoe County Water and Wastewater Authority and East Cherry Creek Valley (ECCV ) partnered to complete a state-of-the-art water treatment plant in 2012 and are working with several other South Metro Water members to share capacity on the ECCV Northern Pipeline. On a regional level, the WISE Project is a first-of-its-kind partnership between 10 South Metro Water members, Denver Water and Aurora Water that will bolster water supplies to the south Denver suburbs while maximizing existing water assets in Denver and Aurora. The expansion of Chatfield Reservoir is a collaboration among nine entities, including

four South Metro Water members, to add storage to an existing reservoir. We are making tremendous progress toward our goal of securing a sustainable water supply for current and future residents and businesses. There is more to be done, however.

Men’s Crisis Connection lends a hand Group aims to make it easier to seek help By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Sometimes asking for help can be the hardest part about getting back on your feet. At Castle Rock’s Men’s Crisis Connection, volunteers try to take the sting out seeking a helping hand. “Anybody can fall into a crisis. We’ve all been there. So we try and really help out with three avenues — transportation, housing and jobs,” Connection board member Dave Watts said. According to Watts, most of the men that the organization assists have lost a job or a home and are simply looking for a way to provide for themselves or their family. The crisis connection was born in 2012 after Watts and a few friends encountered a homeless veteran during a walk along Plum Creek. “We were walking along the creek and we saw a veteran in a tent sleeping in the snow,” Watts said. “The following week a few of us slept outside to see what it was like, and at about 4 a.m. we had enough of that and ended up at the coffee house. That was the seed that started the Men’s Crisis Connection.” Since then, the group has provided men in the Castle Rock community with everything from job placement to finding affordable housing and advice. “We’re in a mini boom right now. Pretty much we can find you a job. The housing is a little tougher because it’s expensive to live here. We are promoting house-sharing. Maybe a senior has a part of a house they’re not using and they want to collect $500 or $600 in rent or that type of thing.” Ramzee Robinson is the Castle Rock branch manager for Total Personal Management, a job placement and staffing service that works with Men’s Crisis Connection find work for those in need. According to Robinson, each potential employee is interviewed and placed based on their skills and work experience. “We just try and help them understand that we want to do the best we can to help them and assist them,” Robinson said. “It’s all about trying to find a way to develop trust within the individual. Because, as a man being prideful, it can be difficult to ask for help. We want them to understand that we’re just here to offer a helping hand to get them back on their feet.” If you need help, or to find out more about the Men’s Crisis Connection, visit menscrisisconnection.org.

Cataffo, also of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, made the trip to New York to honor the officers who were killed, on the weekend of Ramos’ funeral. Ceremonies for Liu were held Jan. 3 and 4. “It was overwhelming,” Cataffo said. “We tried taking pictures and sending them back but the pictures just didn’t do it any justice. As far as you could see there were police hats. It was awe-inspiring being part of something so large. We have a large agency here but when you’re with 25,000 other officers it is just amazing.” Barella and Cataffo took advantage of an offer made by airline JetBlue, which offered free airfare to any law enforcement officials who wanted to make the trip. The NYPD has been at the center of protests and political debate for months following the failure to indict the officer involved in choking Eric Gardner, who died after being arrested for selling loose cigarettes last July in New York’s Staten Island borough. The civil unrest in New York came on the heels of other police-related protests in places like Ferguson, Missouri, and other American cities. “Just staring at them, they look weathered,” Barella said of the New York officers. “They’re out there doing their jobs but they just looked tired. Obviously they had just lost two brothers, but they looked like they had all the weight of the world on their shoulders.” The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said it is advising officers to be extra vigilant considering the climate surrounding the incident. “No matter where you work, everybody comes to work every day to do their job. We all feel the same way about doing this job. It’s a calling. Everyone came into this because they wanted to help people,” Cataffo said. “Not everyone will agree with how everything is done, but as long as you’re professional and doing what you should be doing, everything should fall into place.”

“I don’t believe anything is going to be absolutely perfect, especially if you’re trying to do things in a different way,” school board member Judi Reynolds said. “I believe the other thing that happens when you’re making significant changes to a system is that there are certainly people that are not going to be happy with those changes. “There’s always going to be room for improvement and changes. I think that’s where it’s always important to listen to members of the community about what things actually look like when they’re implemented. It doesn’t always mean because there’s a few people that don’t like some things that that will change our course.” School board President Kevin Larsen sees the changes made in board meetings since he took the helm in January as an expansion of public comment. Minutes include less time for general comments but more for agenda-specific items. The policy also gives Larsen the ability to be flexible and accommodating. “And I’ve tried to do both,” he said, adding the board is open to comments from those who disagree with their policies, “if they’re represented in a constructive, coherent way.” Parent and former Littleton Public Schools teacher Patti Hickey has both attended and watched live school board meetings, and said the board is dismissive of public concerns. “I have sent emails to the board and spoken at meetings,” she said. “There is zero response. They just go their merry way and completely shut out the parents and teachers. They won’t do anything about it because they don’t have to — they are in control.”

‘There’s always going to be room for improvement and changes. I think that’s where it’s always important to listen to members of the community about what things actually look like when they’re implemented.’

Winning bidder would help with new strategic plan By Jane Reuter

Judi Reynolds, Douglas County School Board member

DCSD often references its attempt to “reinvent American education,” and relies on its communications department to show how it’s doing so. They’re not alone. The National School Public Relations Association says schools need a PR professional now “more than ever.” It cites improved technology and communications methods and changes in education that result in taxpayers hearing a variety of messages from multiple sources. “A well-thought-out public relations plan will help ensure that a school district carries out its mission and meets its goals with the support of its staff and community,” according to the NSPRA. In 2011, the DCSD communications department reorganized and “developed a comprehensive plan to meet a mission of communicating, educating and informing our four stakeholder groups: students, parents, employees and the community,” according to DCSD’s website. “The results speak for themselves — through strong community partnerships and well-informed stakeholders, DCSD has expanded support and enthusiasm for reform.” Not everyone agrees. “What they put out to the public is so much spin,” said Cindy Bar-

School district seeking communications vendor

nard, president of Taxpayers for Public Education, a group that filed suit against DCSD for its voucher program. An Education Writers Association 2013 survey showed concerns about the role of education PR staffers. The survey of 190 education reporters found PR officers regulate information “to the point where most reporters considered the control to be a form of censorship and an impediment to providing information to the public,” according to a Society of Professional Journalists’ report titled “Mediated Access.” Hickey described some board and district communications as “misleading.” “They’re banking on an audience that’ll just read it, say ‘Everything’s great,’ and not delve into it or ask those important questions,” she said. As a board member, Reynolds said she has no input on the communications department’s releases, but she supports their work. “I think largely, yes, the communications department does a good job of putting the information out,” she said.

The Douglas County School District issued a June 2014 request for vendor bids to help it promote its updated strategic plan. The 2014-17 plan, a continuation of the plan introduced in 2011 “to reinvent American education,” is posted on the district’s website. So far, that bid hasn’t been awarded to any vendor, and Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing shows it as “closed.” District spokeswoman Paula Hans wrote in an email, “DCSD is still in the procurement process, and hopes to complete this process soon so that the district can partner to educate its community and stakeholders about the items in our strategic plan.” While a vendor would work with the district’s community relations department staff on some aspects of the contract, the work is separate from that performed by DCSD communications staff. The 2014-17 strategic plan emphasizes four specific areas, including student and staff safety, academic choices, world-class education and system performance. “This new plan does not chart a new course,” according to DCSD’s website. “Instead, it stays the course — building on what we have learned and imagining our priorities forward. It takes each of those to the next level of implementation.” According to the request for a communications vendor, “Recent data show a great deal of community support for district priorities regarding safety, universal choice, world-class education, and system performance … the birth of a new strategic plan is the perfect time to build cohesive understanding, clarity, credibility and trust with personalized, factual information.” DCSD said it would award an annual contract with the potential to continue it. District leaders said they have no set budget or cost range for the project. “The District would prefer to consider options, such as a menu list of packages that show the cost for various choices that the vendor would provide,” according to the document.

‘Watercolor and webbing’ Technique skips past blank paper By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com This is how longtime art teacher Phyllis Vandehaar introduces an upcoming workshop called “Watercolor and Webbing” — “Explore the fun of inventing with several media simultaneously … ‘paying your money and taking your chances’ (so to speak). No real experience with watercolor is necessary.” Thus Vandehaar introduces the workshop she will lead on Jan. 17 for the Heritage Fine Arts Guild. It is open to members and non-members and will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Bemis Library, 6014 S.

“Gravity” is an abstract watercolor/webbing painting by Phyllis Vandehaar.

if you go “Watercolor and Webbing,” taught by Phyllis Vandehaar at Bemis Library, 6014 S. Datura St., Littleton, will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jan. 17. Reservations are required. See the Heritage Fine Art Guild of Arapahoe County’s website for information, heritage-guild.com, or call 303-796-8110. Datura St. in Littleton. (Note that this is a different location than usual for the HFAG workshops.) Participants will be able to work either abstractly or more realistically as they develop a new painting. “This is not unlike Charlie Brown finding images in the clouds. It is pure fun and can result in some very handsome paintings,” Vandehaar writes. She was for many years a teacher at Arapahoe High School and since then has taught art regularly at Roxborough State Park. The webbing, a permanent spray product, is sprayed on the watercolor paper and the artist then proceeds with developing a painting from images found and can take it in several directions. “This provides a starting point and people don’t face a naked piece of white paper,” she said. Vandehaar will be painting, too, and those who feel unsure can work along with her, while others can just pursue their own plans. An additional option can be to include collage elements into the painting. A materials list will be published on the HFAG website, which begins with: 140 pound Arches watercolor paper, cold press, pad or sheets — any size, plus paints, brushes, etc. Vandehaar supplies the webbing at no charge. See Heritage Fine Arts Guild of Arapahoe County’s website at heritage-guild. com, and look for workshops.

The Colorado Symphony and the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Colorado Holiday Commission invite you to a free annual celebration of Dr. King’s life and legacy as a leader, visionary and pillar of the civil rights movement, to be held Jan. 13 at Boettcher Concert Hall in the Denver Center for the Performing Arts downtown. Now in its 25th year, this community concert recognizes individuals and organizations that embody King’s dream of equality, peace, service, and social justice. New this year, the Colorado Symphony will be joined by Denver’s Flobots, a hip-hop ensemble that uses music as a tool to ignite awareness, action, and positive change. Hosted by TV personality Tamara Banks, the program will be conducted by Scott O’Neil and will include symphonic selections by Beethoven and Dvorak as well as African-American composers Brian Keane and George Walker. In collaboration with the full orchestra, the Flobots will perform orchestral arrangements of their music, with original arrangements by Tom Hagerman of DeVotchKa, commissioned by the Colorado Symphony. The winners of four Humanitarian awards, as well as the Menola Upshaw Lifetime Achievement Award winner, will be honored during the program; all honorees are nominated and selected by the community and overseen by the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Colorado Holiday Commission. The concert is part of a weeklong celebration of Dr. King’s work as well as a call to community action. For a complete list of events, visit www. drmartinlkingjrchc.org/. Tickets to this free concert are available at the Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library, 2401 Welton St., and the Colorado Symphony box office in the Boettcher Concert Hall at 14th and Curtis streets. For details, visit www.coloradosymphony.org. The box office is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday; noon to 6 p.m. Saturday; and two hours before every performance. A ticket is required for admission. All seating is general admission on a first come, firstserved basis and a ticket does not guarantee a seat.

D Note no more D Note, the venue that rocked Olde Town Arvada for 12 years, played its last note on Jan. 3. Owners Dave and Mernie Rosenberg, who bought the family-friendly club from the DeGraff family in 2013, are calling it quits, according to Westword. According to the story, “Dave Rosenberg says they fell behind on rent and told the landlord they’d catch up by the year (end), but

the landlord ‘decided there were other people more interesting to have in there other than us,’ says Rosenberg. ‘So they pulled our lease. That’s the way it goes.’ “‘It’s a tough business,’ Rosenberg adds. ‘We tried to do right by the bands. It’s just that Olde Town is changing a little bit. I don’t know if it’s a good thing that we’re getting out but we’ll find out down the road.’” Rosenberg blamed in part the light rail construction that has all but wiped out parking in Olde Town. “‘Two years, when construction’s all done, when that train’s running, I have a feeling it will be really nice, but for the next two years it’s going to be a tough time in Olde Town.’”

Orchid Showcase back for fourth year Botanic Gardens offers respite from cold days By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com For a temporary escape from winter, enter the gates at Denver Botanic Gardens on York Street and walk straight ahead to the Orangery and the next-door Marnie’s Pavilion, where you will find hundreds of orchids in bloom starting Jan. 9. This is the fourth year for the featured Orchid Showcase, according to botanist Nick Snackenberg, who displays a variety of common and exotic species through Feb. 23. They come from the Gardens’ orchid collection of some 3,000 plants, supplemented by some purchased just for this show in order to have enough blooming plants on hand. “The Orangery is a most lovely place to sit,” he recommends. One will be surrounded by fragrant citrus plants and blooming orchids of all sorts. The next-door Marnie’s Pavilion carries a rotating exhibit of orchids and bromiliads through the year, based on what’s blooming at a given time. Snackenberg said he grew up on a Midwestern farm and attended Iowa State University to study horticulture. He has been at Denver Botanic Gardens for 21 years and “fell into tropicals … It’s lots of work — they don’t stop growing and we have space limitations.” Palm trees, for example, can’t be pruned to keep them small, so eventually they must be replaced. “We call it the circle of life,” he said. Orchids come to the collection from many sources. Some are traded with other botanic gardens and others are purchased from local suppliers or growers in Florida. Nurseries deal with the regulations on importing plants from out of the country. There are restrictions on trade in

The Orchid Showcase, in the Orangery at Denver Botanic Gardens, as well as Marnie’s Pavilion next door, both a short walk west from the main entrance, hold a display of common and exotic species of orchids from the BBG’s collection of about 3,000 plants. The display runs through Feb. 23. Courtesy photos

IF YOU GO Denver Botanic Gardens, 1007 York St., Denver, is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily in winter. And, one might enjoy adding a stroll through the Boettcher Memorial Tropical Conservatory by the entrance while on the grounds. 720865-3500, BotanicGardens.org.

endangered species. Snackenberg visits local collections whenever he attends a conference or national meeting. “It’s a good chance to look at the host and network — to see who’s got what.” Personal vacations will also often lead him to other gardens “to chat with the people in charge. My wish list never seems to end.” For those who think they might like to grow orchids at home, he will be of-

fering a class at the end of February. Details were not firm when we spoke by telephone, but it should be listed on the website soon. Also, there is an active Denver Orchid Society which meets monthly and holds two shows a year, where it awards prizes to growers and has plants, supplies and advice available. New members are welcome. The American Orchid Society has a great deal of material online as well, from basics to more complex topics. And there are numerous other resources on how and what to buy and how to cultivate. All warn that overwatering is the quickest way to kill a plant. Whether one is simply in need of a flower fix or is searching for a new hobby, a visit to the Orchid Showcase, Jan. 9 to Feb. 23, is in order.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF jan. 5, 2015

ARIES (Mar 21 to apr 19) Events could inspire adventurous Lambs looking to make a major career or personal move. But as always, get all the facts before rushing into any sort of deal or commitment. TAURUS (apr 20 to May 20) What seems to be a great opportunity could cause even usually practical Taureans to ignore their inner caution cues. Best to move carefully to avoid falling into unseen traps. GEMINI (May 21 to jun 20) need a holiday now that the seasonal festivities are behind you? Good idea. Plan to go someplace wonderful. You’ll return refreshed and more than ready for a new challenge.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (jun 21 to jul 22) Progress continues to be made on that pesky workplace problem. Meanwhile, don’t assume a personal situation will work itself out. Best to get more involved earlier than later. LEO (jul 23 to aug 22) Catnaps are definitely recommended for Leos and Leonas who had been going at a hectic pace over the holidays. adding relaxation time to your schedule helps restore your overdrawn energy reserves. VIRGO (aug 23 to Sept 22) Sure, some of the new friends you made over the holidays might move out of your life at some point. But at least one might show significant “staying power” with some encouragement. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Encourage family members to join you in supporting a relative who could be facing a difficult emotional challenge in the new Year. Showing your love and concern helps keep his or her hopes up. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to nov 21) While a long-deferred decision suddenly might take on some urgency after news on a related matter, you still need to weigh all factors carefully before deciding one way or the other. SAGITTARIUS (nov 22 to Dec 21) This is a good time to reassess the earlier plan you made for the new Year. Some elements you felt you could depend on to make it work might no longer carry that assurance. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to jan 19) Forming a renewed connection with a former associate is only the first step toward working out your new plans. Be prepared for problems, and deal with them as soon as they arise. AQUARIUS (jan 20 to Feb 18) a romantic situation that was going smoothly not too long ago might take a new turn. Be honest about your feelings before you decide whether to follow it or take another path. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) The wise Pisces (that’s you, of course) will make sure everyone knows you plan to keep your options open and listen to all sides of the situation before making any decisions.

A burgeoning business

Highlands Ranch couple specializes in triathlete training

ortu- By Jim Benton . The jbenton

@coloradocommunitymedia.com It was a sign that led Kathy Alfino into becoming a triathlete and coach. “I was playing field hockey and I saw this sign, and I don’t think it used the word triathlon,” she explained. “It was 1982. It said ‘Swim, bike, run.’ I rode my bike to go swim for exercise and I ran playing field hockey. “I thought that maybe I could do that at 8 o’clock and do field hockey at 11. I was in college, so I went and did it. I came in second overall, and it was so fun. I kept going. Now it’s serious, but it’s still fun.”

Alfino, 54, is an accomplished triathlete, who along with her husband, Pete, owns Highlands Ranch-based Mile High Multisport, LLC. The business offers triathlon coaching and training plans for men and women. “My husband and I own a coaching business,” said Alfino who attended Ohio Wesleyan and Penn State. “It’s doing well, and we branched off and started a women’s triathlon group. We had a lot of people asking us for advice. “So we were giving out a lot of free advice. My husband said, you know we can teach people and I want to open up a coaching business. I said ‘You want to leave All-State Insurance after 18 years and you’re in your 40s with two kids going to college?’ It’s worked out. We don’t make a lot of money, but he enjoys doing it. He didn’t like the corporate world. I do it part-time. I went part-time with my job five years ago. I sell pharmaceuticals part time

and do this part time.” Mile High Multisport’s season starts in January and runs through August. Athletes between 18 and 70 years of age are welcome and participants come from all walks of life. College students, physicians, flight attendants, lawyers and CEO’s have trained with Mile High Multisport. Workshops and workouts are scheduled around the Denver area throughout the season. Motivational and nutritional clinics are held, and there is even one to teach athletes how to change a bike tire, repair broken chains and maintenance. “Highlands Ranch is a big mecca,” said Alfino, an eight-time Ironman finisher and certified USTA coach. “There are a lot of good athletes, triathletes that live here. There are a lot of people that just do it for the fun of doing it.” Mile High Multisport has teamed up with TriBella, a Denver multisport shop for wom-

en, and has formed a team to help ladies train and compete in a variety of disciplines from sprint to Ironman. “I am the head coach for TriBella/Mile High Multisport women’s team,” said Alfino. “We offer an environment for women seeking camaraderie, community and competition. We offer something for every woman whether new to the sport or those with experience. “Women are one of the biggest groups in moving into triathlons. Everybody is really looking at the women and how we get them involved. When I started, there were probably eight to 10 percent women, which were good odds for me because I found my husband during a race. Now, three or four years ago the race in Boulder was 53 percent women.” For more information on Mile High Multisport contact tribellas.com or Kathy@milehighmultisport.com.

December stepping-stones for area teams Schools use out-of-state basketball tournaments with an eye on postseason Staff report December is the time of the high school season when basketball teams create an identity for themselves and tune up for league play. Several South Metro boys and girls teams headed south to play in pre-Christmas holiday basketball tournaments. Colorado teams were banned from playing games or participating in matches from Dec. 24-Jan. 1. Voluntary practices could be held Dec. 29-31. Coach Joe Ortiz’ ThunderRidge boys and the Lutheran girls had the most success in holiday tournaments held between Dec. 18 and 22. ThunderRidge (9-0) played at Denver East Jan. 3 and hosted Rangeview Jan. 6 to start the new year after the Grizzlies advanced to the championship game of the Gold Division in the Foothill Holiday Classic in Las Vegas, but couldn’t play because of reaching their game limit. Colorado High School Activities Association by-laws state that 4A/5A teams that do not have a district tournament shall not participate in more than 23 games exclusive of regional and state contests. There were 12 teams in the Gold Division and pool play dictating that two teams would

have to play five games. ThunderRidge has four non-league games remaining on its schedule plus 10 Continental League contests, which would put them at their 23-game limit and forced the Grizzlies to bow out of the championship game. “We did well,” said coach Joe Ortiz who pointed out that 6-10 center and leading scorer Zach Pirog did not play in the tournament because of a sprained ankle. “This was the first year they had 12 teams and pool play meaning two teams had to play five games. Any teams not from Colorado didn’t have game restrictions.” Ortiz says the Grizzlies and several other schools opt to play out-of-state games. “It’s good for us,” he said. “It’s an expectation for our program. We played out-of-state in July. The kids really enjoy it. It’s hard to say if it will help us in February and March. “Games are officiated different. Officials in Colorado are emphasizing the hand check rule. We were told that would not be called. Games were more physical than we were used to, and there were better athletes. It was cool.” Lutheran, the defending Colorado Class 2A state champions which is playing 3A this season, was one of six South Metro girls teams that played in the Nike Tournament of Champions in Phoenix. The Lions (7-0) posted a 69-60 win over Clovis West of Fresno, Calif., in the championship game of the Gray Division. “We were privileged to play in the tournament,” said Lions coach Mark Duitsman. “Being a 3A school, we sometimes get overlooked in the discussion of the top teams in

the state and our girls took full advantage of the opportunity to show that we can represent Colorado as well as anybody, regardless of classification. “This is a humble and mature team, but if there is one thing that gets our girls motivated, it is the misinformed opinion that 4A and 5A teams are better simply because they come from bigger schools or that you can’t get recruited from a smaller school. We’ve been proving that wrong for years.” Duitsman insists the win over Clovis West and playing in the tournament will help the Lions in the next few months. Lutheran faced taller teams, excellent transition clubs and didn’t wilt under pressure defense. “Clovis West is consistently a top 25 program in the entire state of California, which tells you all you need to know about how good they are,” he added. “Beating Clovis West in that setting joins the ranks as one of the most memorable wins of our program. “You can’t deny that the experience was beneficial from a preparation standpoint. More than anything we wanted to learn, grow and prepare for what will be a tough road in Colorado. Each of our opponents in Arizona had a least 2,500 more students than us. We want to make another run in the postseason, and while it doesn’t guarantee anything in March, I feel that our December was a big step in the right direction. Castle View (3-6) also played in the Gray Division and finished sixth, compiling a 2-2 record. Valor Christian (6-1), Colorado’s topranked 4A team in the CHSAANow.com poll,

went 3-1 and was third in the Anderson Division. ThunderRidge (8-2) was 2-2 in the Desper Division and wound up sixth while Highlands Ranch (9-2) compiled a 3-1 record in the same division to finish ninth because of a firstround loss. Cherry Creek’s girls (3-6) were winless in four Anderson Division games. In boys tournament action, Chaparral went 3-1 in the Phoenix Union Classic. The Wolverines (7-3) lost 73-62 to Cesar Chavez of Laveen, Ariz., in the title game. Rock Canyon (8-3) also was 3-1 and finished third in the Select Division of the Tarkanian Classic in Las Vegas. “We are excited to be where we are at this point of the season,” said Jaguars coach Kent Grams. “We believe playing in an out-of-state tournament will be beneficial because our players were out of their comfort zones and had to learn how to minimize distractions and compete at their highest level. “Competing out of state is tough, but we believe it will help us come March.” Mountain Vista and Legend stayed home before the holidays. Vista (7-1) has compiled impressive statistics, averaging 78.3 points, 20.6 assists and 34.1 rebounds a game while shooting 54 percent as a team. Legend (7-3) edged Cherry Creek, 43-40, to win the Cherry Creek Holiday Classic Dec. 20. It was the first loss of the season for the Bruins (6-1).

Girls’ food drive boosts task force ‘Frozen’ theme is used to help local charity Staff report Two Castle Rock girls turned their love of the Disney movie “Frozen” into a food drive that brought in 145 pounds of food for the Douglas/Elbert Task Force. Taylor Graham, a 15-year old student at Valor Christian High School, and Isabelle Carroll, a 16-year old student who is home-schooled in a program called Christian Cottage, dressed up like Anna and Elsa

and how to borrow money, how to make ends meet and live within your means,” Jabs said. Classes count toward a bachelor’s degree for anyone interested in continuing their education. While the instruction is meant to be allencompassing, there are some things that can’t be taught in a classroom. Local business leaders act as both professor and mentor, helping individual students find their path. The director of the Jake Jabs Center for Entrepreneurship, Madhavan Parthasarathy, Ph.D., who goes by MP, said the close relationships provide students with an “experiential connection, and they need that almost as much as academics.” “The academic education will help them write a business plan, but they have to know where to pitch the business plan, and if a venture capitalist asked them how they’re going to market it, they will have an answer,” he said. The advisory council that oversees CU’s business school is composed of an all-star

— the main characters from the movie — and posed for pictures with anyone who dropped off food at 4214 Kestrel Place in Castle Rock on Dec.18. “We didn’t want to just have fun for ourselves. We wanted to help others, so we decided why not ask for donations,” Graham said. The event was promoted solely on Facebook and the pair was shocked by the number of people who turned up to donate. “The next day we had about 100 people at our house. They showed up before we were even home. It was amazing,” Carroll said.

team of industry leaders, and with their various connections, there is a seemingly endless store of resources. More than 100 of them are tapped to review student business plans during an annual contest that provides the winner with $50,000 worth of services to start their company. Students get real feedback on what needs improvement and what will work in their favor. The result is a symbiotic relationship that could portend the future of business incubation in the state. It’s not only “very fulfilling to see young people succeed,” but the business leaders also keep a sharp eye out for talent, MP said. “They’re hoping (the Launchpad program) succeeds so well that they can hire people from it,” he said. “Some are investors themselves, and they’re looking to get in early on a good investment. If they see a great idea, they could try to get in and fund the idea.” There is optimism that Launchpad will create a positive cycle for years to come: Jabs says he hopes that students who benefit from the program will return in 10-20 years to offer their expertise to a new generation.
