POSTAL ADDRESS

A $177 million project broke ground in Castle Rock on Nov. 17.

Alberta Development Partners will build the Promenade at Castle Rock shopping center on a 200-acre lot just off I-25 and US Highway 85.

The Promenade will house for different “districts” that will combine retail shops, restaurants and open public areas.

The four districts will be: • The Front Porch: This is the gateway to the Promenade. It will feature community dining areas, a fire lounge and a “farmer’s market feeling.”

• The Merc: This area will house pop-up cafes, pop-up retail shops and an amphitheater. Alberta describes the space as a “modern-day trading post.”

• The Town Square: This will be the heart of the

shopping center. It will have a “grand plaza feel” and have flowering trees and a water feature.

• The Village: The Promenade’s restaurant row.

It will feature a covered lounge, wagon wheel banquettes and a wishing well fountain.

“This will be one of the largest community center developments in the United States,” said Don Provost, Alberta Development Partners principal.

“We look forward to bringing some of the best retailers in the country to Castle Rock.

Construction on the 1 million-square-foot development will begin in the next month and retailers will open for business between 2015 and 2018.

Alberta purchased the property for $44 million from a local seller — one of the county’s largest suburban land acquisitions.

“It’s a priority for us to bring in new amenities for our residents and give more people reason to visit our terrific town,” Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donahue said. “We’re excited this project is moving forward.”

Castle Rock will contribute up to $24.5 million, or 13.6 percent, of the total project, in shared sales tax and development fee reimbursements.

mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com The newly built Philip S. Miller Park will be getting a finishing touch.

The town has approved the construction of a $55,000 bronze statue commemorating Philip S. Miller, the late banker and philanthropist.

Over the summer, the Public Art Commission took proposals from artists for the project.

A selection committee that included members of the Public Art Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, Chamber of Commerce and parks and recreation staff selected three finalists from among the respondents.

They heard presentations from the finalists before deciding on a sculpture from Parker artist Robert Allison. The sculpture will be funded through the Philip S. Miller Trust Fund and not through taxpayer dollars.

The sculpture will depict Philip S. Miller as a young boy in the early 1900s with a girl beside him to represent his wife, Jerri. They will be on a culvert made to look like rhyolite. There will be a stream also made of bronze running under the culvert. The girl will be holding a book to represent the library. “(The commission) wanted a piece that Statue continues on Page 15

The Colorado Association of School Boards’ director successfully appealed to the Douglas County School Board to rejoin his organization. The board voted 5-2 during its Nov. 18 meeting to renew membership with CASB, a relationship it severed in 2010.

Board members then said DCSD’s inhouse staff already provided the services offered by CASB, without the $23,000 membership fee. But several said they now believe CASB can help Douglas County with school financing and other issues that likely will be debated during the next Colorado legislative session.

“I think the benefits of membership could be summarized (in the words) of Benjamin Franklin: `If we don’t hang together, we’ll hang separately’,” said board member Craig Richardson, citing concerns about state education funding.

Board members Judi Reynolds and Meghann Silverthorn voted against the idea, saying they’re not certain CASB membership will benefit the district.

Reynolds’ and Silverthorn’s hesitation, initially expressed during the board’s Oct. 21 meeting, prompted the board to invite CASB director Ken DeLay to the November meeting.

DeLay said he sees mutual benefit to DCSD rejoining the association, noting that the two entities are working toward common goals that including waivers from some state requirements. DeLay also said that other member districts could benefit from learning about Douglas County’s education initiatives.

“I think, for example, some of the work this district has done in areas of teacher compensation are things that could be shared at a conference,” DeLay said.

He also mentioned the association’s support of DCSD in its voucher lawsuit, set for oral arguments Dec. 10 in the state’s highest court.

“We have not completely forgotten about you over the years,” DeLay said. “We did weigh in on your case that’s pending before the Colorado Supreme Court.”

In August, CASB filed a brief supporting DCSD continues on Page 15

Founders Parkway construction hits brakes Staff report

City officials say that aging roads in Castle Pines will require a $1.1 million investment in 2015. This is a key component to the city’s proposed budget for the coming year. Graphic courtesy of City of Castle Pines

Road repairs highlight Castle Pines budget City plans to move offices into new library once built

By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Pesky pot holes may be a thing of the past for Castles Pines residents once the 2015 budget gets its final approval.

“The majority of the money will be going to what we consider to be major road improvements and maintenance of our streets,” said Castle Pines City Manager Don Van Wormer. “We will be pouring new concrete for sidewalks, as well as patching up some more minor road projects like filling pot holes.”

The $4.8 million 2015 budget for Castle Pines sees estimated revenues higher than expenditures.

If passed, officials expect to spend about $3 million on capital improvement projects.

Revenues are estimated at $4.7 million for next year while expenditures come in at $4.6 million.

The city is projecting a surplus of $79,506. The majority of revenues, some 60 percent ($2.8 million), come from taxes.

Property owners will see no increase in the property tax rate, according to Van Wormer. The city is expecting a 1.6 percent increase in property tax revenue, mostly from an increase in the assessed value of homes and new construction.

The city’s Parks and Recreation fund is budgeted for $260,286. Money from this fund goes toward funding park maintenance and security, city events, and Castle Pine’s contribution to the Rueter-Hess Recreation area.

Capital improvement projects for the city include $1.1 million for pavement maintenance, $350,000 for concrete repair and $80,000 for improvements and equipment for the city offices.

The city offices will move from

their current location at 7501 Village Square Drive, Suite 100 into the new library building, located at the corner of Village Square Lane and Village Square Terrace in Castle Pines.

The new library will open in late 2015 and will have two stories and include family space, quiet study areas, flexible meeting rooms and expanded collections.

“We have five full-time staff members and our current offices are just too small and cramped for us all to work out of,” Van Wormer said. “We will be moving everything into the new library building, which will have more of a traditional city hall feel.”

Van Wormer said $80,000 will go toward setting up and furnishing the new offices. Castle Pines will be paying $1 per year in rent to Douglas County for the space.

Final adoption of the budget will be voted on Dec. 9.

The public can view the budget at www.castlepinesgov.com/budget.

After nearly three months of construction, The Colorado Department of Transportation will pause work on the reconstruction of a 1.3-mile segment of Founders Parkway between I-25 and Woodlands Boulevard in Castle Rock.

On Nov. 19 traffic began being moved back to its original configuration for the holiday season to allow full access to retail areas. The $6.9 million project will resume reconstruction operations on Jan. 12.

“We’ve been working six days a week on Founders Parkway and are making great strides in our progress,” CDOT project engineer Jody Allen said in a news release.

“Over the past three months, we’ve completed 90 percent of the drainage work, and about 40 percent of the new pavement, curb and gut-

ter, sidewalks, and curb ramps.

We are happy to be able to provide motorists in the area relief as they prepare for and enjoy the upcoming holiday season.”

The project will completely reconstruct the aforementioned stretch of Founders Parkway with new concrete pavement, a raised median, and a new storm drainage system. The work also includes new ADA curb ramps and landscaping.

Additionally, the eastbound lanes that cross over I-25 will be expanded from two to three lanes and the northbound I-25 off ramp will be widened. Work is expected to be complete by July 2015.

Updated information regarding traffic impacts on this project is available by calling the project hotline 720-452-6667 or by email at sh86@PublicInfoTeam.com.

Hangman’s Gulch improvements begin Staff report Stormwater improvements are underway along Hangman’s Gulch Trail. The work is taking place west of Liggett Road, at the railroad crossing and at the intersection of Hangman’s Gulch and the East Plum Creek Trail.

The work consists of crews removing large amounts of dirt and debris from the channel to improve drainage and reduce flooding impacts to the trail following storms.

Construction is expected to take between four and five weeks. Generally, construction hours will be 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through

Friday.

The trail will remain open during construction, but will be closed to all ADA traffic until the project is complete. Flaggers will be on site to direct pedestrian and bike traffic when construction activities are underway.

Trail delays will be limited as much as possible, but trail users are advised to use caution and allow extra time for construction areas.

Utility bills inch upward in 2015

By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Castle Rock residents will see a slight increase in utility bills in 2015.

Town council voted 5-2 on Nov. 18 to approve an increase in some water fees and rates in the coming year in order to meet the needs of a growing population and long-term capital improvement projects focused on renewable water.

Councilmembers Jennifer Green and Gorge Teal were against the measure.

Rates and fees for 2015 result in an overall increase to the typical residential bill of 0.7 percent when compared to the 2014 rates. According to town estimates, the fixed charges for a typical residential bill will increase by 1.6 percent.

This means the typical residential customer will see an increase of 82 cents per month.

According to the town’s utilities director,

Mark Marlowe, the increase is primarily in the water resources fee, and it is part of the financial plan that has been in place for several years. “(The increase) is needed to develop the financial capacity for the investments that the community will make in securing long-term renewable water supplies, which we often refer to as our legacy water projects,” Marlowe said. “It will help fund the necessary infrastructure and water rights that are the backbone of the long-term water plan.

“The other part of the increase is in our stormwater enterprise and is also required to help fund the long-term capital investments, consistent with our capital master plans for stormwater, that are needed in stormwater infrastructure to protect water quality, roads and other infrastructure, and private property in the town.”

The town’s 2014 utility rates and fees study had a significant impact on the proposed rates and fees for 2015. According to town officials,

the study found growth in the customer base has continued to increase in 2014, and resulting projections on future growth have also continued to increase by 5.5 percent for the five-year study period.

“When we do this planning, we look out over a long period, to 2050, and we look at what the rates may do as a result of the financial planning we’ve done, and the idea is to smooth those rates as much as possible to avoid any single-year rate shock.”

Green said she opposed the rate increase because of a lack of public input.

“I understand the purpose for raising the fees, but I really struggle in raising those fees, which I see as a tax, without any vote from the residents,” Green said.

Marlowe said he had met with several different organizations in town and had the support and understanding of the business community.

“I was able to attend an Economic Development Council meeting and also the CEO

Roundtable and present the rates and fees to both of those groups,” Marlowe said. “I (was given) a letter of support from them — I think that’s a good indication that the business community is on board with where we’re going.”

The population of Castle Rock is estimated to reach 100,000 by 2030, and as the population increases, the ability to provide enough clean water for the community will become more and more challenging.

In addition to the purification facility at Plum Creek, the town has created a number of other legacy water projects with an eye on the future, including the Rueter-Hess Reservoir near Parker and the WISE Water Project.

The reservoir eventually will hold 74,000 acre-feet of drinking water for Castle Rock, Parker, Castle Pines North and other local municipalities. Castle Rock owns 8,000 acre-feet of water storage space, enough to hold all of the water used by 18,000 families in one year.

Town OKs Ridgegate portion of WISE pipeline

By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com After some reshuffling, Castle Rock has put the finishing touches on the designs and payment plan that will create a pipeline to bring renewable water to the town.

On Nov. 18, town council approved Castle Rock’s participation in the design of the portion of the WISE pipeline.

The Ridgegate portion of pipeline and infrastructure will connect Castle Rock to WISE water through Parker’s Rueter-Hess Reservoir.

“We are beginning to really build the local infrastructure now that will connect the WISE water to Castle Rock, and this is one of the first steps,” Castle Rock Utilities director Mark Marlowe said.

The town originally approved the project on Sept. 16, but since then, Douglas County has pulled out of this portion of the project — altering the cost to each of the participating members.

The total estimated costs for the design of

the Ridgegate Line and Rueter-Hess WISE Infrastructure is $1.94 million.

The South Metro Water Supply Authority will be contributing $440,000 of Colorado Water Conservation Board grant money toward the project.

The contribution of grant money reduces the estimated cost of the design for the participants to $1.5 million. As a result, the town’s estimated share of the costs to participate in the design of the project is not expected to exceed $273,300, a slight increase from $250,000 when Douglas County was partnering in the project.

If costs for the project come in lower than expected, the town will be reimbursed for the difference. If the project costs come in higher than expected, the project will need separate approval from all the participants to continue.

According to Water Resources Manager Matt Benak, Douglas County indicated in a letter to the participating members that they pulled out of the project so that they could focus on other water projects that they had going on in northwest Douglas County.

“It’s important to point out that Douglas

County does not own any of the other infrastructure associated with the project,” Marlowe said. “So for them to also own a portion of a line going from E-470 to Rueter-Hess just didn’t make a lot of sense for them at this point.

They felt like their role of reserving future capacity in the IGA that they’ve signed with Denver and Aurora would be a better approach for them.”

On Oct. 21, members of the South Metro Water Supply Authority and Denver Water purchased the East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District’s Western Waterline.

The pipeline purchase is a significant milestone in WISE, a partnership between 10 south-metro members, Denver Water and Aurora Water to share water supply and infrastructure.

The South Metro WISE Authority is made up of 10 water providers that are all part of the larger South Metro Water Supply Authority.

Nine of those water providers — Centennial, Cottonwood, Dominion, Inverness, Meridian, Parker, Pinery, Stonegate Village and Castle Rock — are located in Douglas County. The

10th, Rangeview Metropolitan District, is located in Aurora.

The purchase price was $34 million, with the 10 south-metro WISE participants paying 85 percent or $29.3 million and Denver Water paying 15 percent or $4.7 million.

Using Aurora’s Prairie Waters system, Aurora Water and Denver Water will provide water through the Western Waterline to participating south-metro members on a permanent basis.

WISE will also provide a new emergency supply for Denver Water, and offset costs and stabilize water rates for Aurora.

The 20-mile east-west pipeline along E-470 and C-470 has capacity to deliver 38 million gallons of water a day to Douglas and Arapahoe counties.

Under the agreement, Denver Water and Aurora Water will sell an average of 7,250 acrefeet of water a year to south-metro water suppliers beginning in 2016, with the option to increase to 10,000 acre-feet in future years.

Castle Rock anticipates the town will begin receiving WISE water in 2017.

New libraries designed to appeal to all users Castle Pines Library to open in November 2015

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com When Bob Pasicznyuk reviewed the factors driving an ambitious plan to put Douglas County’s libraries in position for the next two decades, something jumped out at him.

“This county’s thirst for physical books,” said Pasicznyuk, who took over as director of Douglas County Libraries in May. He describes the numbers as “astronomical,” then offers inarguable proof.

Colorado districts with similar population densities and the same number of cities, like the Rangeview Library District and Brighton Library District, record an average of 4.5 million transactions per year, on par with national averages. Douglas County’s facilities notch 8.5 million, he said.

The staggering statistics are hard to ignore, and that’s why Douglas County Libraries is paying close attention these days.

The district is not only opening new facilities in Parker, Lone Tree and Castle Pines by mid-2016, it is embarking on a full review of its other facilities in Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock, Louviers and Roxborough. Everything is on the table to “meet the needs for the next generation,” Pasicznyuk said.

Mixing it up

Physical books are, of course, just one piece to consider. The reasons behind the continuing popularity of local libraries can be traced to diverse tastes. Library users consume material in a variety of ways; Pasicznyuk likened the idea to regularly using a Blu-Ray player, streaming films via an online rental service and going out to the movies, instead of sticking with just one way of watching films.

With that in mind, Douglas County Libraries had to determine “what a library looks like now instead of 1990,” the director said. But rather than scaling back as some districts have done, Douglas County Libraries is expanding its footprints and taking a

Mixed demographics present a challenge because each visitor expects something different, Pasicznyuk said. So, staffers took notice and submitted their own ideas on how to accommodate everyone.

For example, Parker’s branch manager, Amy Long, noticed that about half of the people who frequented one area of the library weren’t being fully served: parents who brought their little ones to the children’s section. To fill that gap, the first floor of the new Parker Library is being built as a family zone, serving not only preschoolers, elementary school kids and tweens, but adults who will have access to a coffee shop-like atmosphere with integrated seating and power outlets for tablets and laptops.

“We wanted to make that space lively,” Pasicznyuk said.

The second floor will be more subdued and designed as a “classic library with a twist,” he said. There will be shelves filled with books, but they will be displayed in a more visually-pleasing manner, blending

with a comfortable den with a fireplace.

Outdoor terraces with seating will also allow library users to read a book or study while enjoying Colorado’s good weather.

Room to breathe All three of the new libraries were designed as two-story buildings to provide separation, something that wasn’t possible before. They also will have a drive-up lane to drop off materials rather than requiring users to take up a parking spot and get out of their car.

Parking, in particular, has long been an issue at the Parker Library, a former bowling alley in the Crossroads Shopping Center on the northwest corner of South Parker Road and Mainstreet. There are now about 50 spaces and the new facility will have 150.

The new library will also be nearly twice as big — it’s going from 22,000 square-feet to 43,000 square-feet — and have more windows to let in natural light. Mayor Mike Waid said the Town of Parker encouraged the library district to come up with a design that leaves behind the old-fashioned, boxy libraries of yesterday.

“I believe it’s going to be a unique, keystone element that’s really going to define that end of the downtown district,” Waid said.

The Town of Parker spent $2 million to purchase the nine acres on which the library will be built on the northwest corner of Mainstreet and Pine Drive, across from town hall. The town will lease the land to the library district. Construction will begin in the first quarter of 2015.

The library will be paired with a public park with a “sprinkle garden” plaza and ice river for ice skating, as well as a possible retail shop, Waid said.

Coventry Development, the builders of RidgeGate, donated land near the Lone Tree Arts Center for a 26,000 square-foot library, and the city is turning the existing 10,000 square-foot building into a community center. The Castle Pines Library is moving from a 2,000 square-foot space in a strip mall to a freestanding, 16,000 square-foot building. It will be the first to open in November 2015. The Parker Library will open in February 2016 and Lone Tree will follow in April 2016.

C-470 brew crew gets crafty together Eight businesses to debut co-created beer in December

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Eight south metro breweries will release a winter beer they co-created on Dec. 5.

Beer lovers who sample the weizenbock at each of the businesses will earn a commemorative glass.

“The point is to get people out and visit the local breweries; it’s not specifically to try the beer,” said Carrie Knose, co-owner of Highlands Ranch’s Living the Dream. “We’re all pretty new down here, and we wanted to do a community-building event to get everyone together and brew beer.

“We’re (brewers) a very friendly community; ours is one of those business communities where we’re all actually rooting for each other. And this is another way to get together and be supportive in the craft beer community.”

The C470 Collaboration, as the group has dubbed itself, includes Blue Spruce, CB & Potts, Grist, Living the Dream, Lone Tree, 38 State, Three Freaks and Rock Bottom breweries. Brewers from all eight businesses came up with the idea and met to create a common recipe. Laws regulating the distribution of alcohol require each business to brew its own batch of the mutually agreed-upon beer.

But Blue Spruce owner Rick Kane thinks that will make the experience more interesting for consumers.

“Every brewery could be a little differ-

ent depending on how they brew,” said the Centennial brew pub owner. “There’ll probably be little nuances. You’ll taste just a subtle difference between some breweries because we all have different water sources and that does change the profile a little bit.

And then obviously how we brew (is different).”

A weizenbock is a strong version of an unfiltered hefeweizen, fermented with a yeast that gives the brew a slightly spicy flavor.

Lone Tree head brewer Jason Wiedmaier said their version is ready to go.

“I’m very pleased with how it turned out, and I’m really looking forward to us tapping them all at once,” he said. “Each brewery gets to kind of put their own twist on it, so you get a little bit of play. I’m curious to see what each brewery’s brew house imparts to the beer.”

Each brewery will provide customers with a beer map of the eight businesses.

Once all eight sites are stamped, the customer can exchange the map for the commemorative glass. The brewers ordered 300 glasses, but Knose doesn’t know how long the beer will last. If the beer runs out before the glasses, however, Knose said breweries will still honor beer tourists with a stamp.

December may not be the last time the brewers collaborate.

“We’ve talked loosely about doing one during the summer also,” Kane said. “We all get along well. We help each other out with ingredients. We see our customers at Grist and Living the Dream and vice versa. I think people just enjoy bouncing between all of us. It’s bringing our communities closer together.”

Mall stores betting on Turkey Day shoppers About 30 percent of Park Meadows retailers to open on Thanksgiving

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Controversial as Thanksgiving Day shopping may be, some retailers based at the consumer-friendly Park Meadows shopping center are betting consumers will gobble up holiday sales.

About 30 percent of the 160 stores at Lone Tree’s Park Meadows mall will open at 6 p.m. Nov. 27. Dick’s Sporting Goods and JC Penney will open at 5 p.m.

While some stores will stay open all night, most that open at 6 p.m. will close at midnight, and then re-open at 6 a.m. for Black Friday. About two-thirds of the mall’s retailers will participate in the traditional early Nov. 28 opening, general manager Pamela Schenck Kelly said.

The Black Friday celebration includes a free pancake breakfast in the Dining Hall from 6 to 8 a.m., a KOSI-FM live radio broadcast and other entertainment.

Stores that don’t open Thanksgiving Day or at 6 a.m. won’t face any criticism from mall management, Kelly said. Because Thanksgiving is a legal holiday, retailers aren’t subject to the usual lease requirement of operating when the rest of the mall is open.

“I don’t require any store to open at all until 8 a.m. on Black Friday,” Kelly said.

“They can make that choice — if they do not wish to participate in the Thanksgiving or extreme early 6 a.m. opening — on their own.”

According to the National Retail Federation, 44.8 million people shopped on Thanksgiving Day 2013, up 27 percent from 2012. More than twice as many visited stores on Black Friday, and the average shopper spent $407 over the four-day 2013 Thanksgiving weekend.

The National Retail Federation predicts happy holidays for stores, based on a low unemployment rate that typically translates into confident consumers. The federation forecasts a 4.1 seasonal spending increase in 2014 from 2013. If that Christmas wish comes true, it would be the largest increase since 2011.

Bennet, Udall differ on pipeline vote Outgoing senator opposes plan that some see as environmental threat

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado’s two Democratic senators split votes on a failed effort in the U.S. Senate on Nov. 18 to move forward with construction of the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline.

Sixty votes were needed to pass the bill in order to prevent a filibuster. The bill fell short by a single vote, 59-41.

Sen. Michael Bennet voted for the bill, while fellow Democratic Sen. Mark Udall voted no.

The bill sought to expand construction of an existing pipeline that would ship crude oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast, cutting through six states.

The pipeline would not run through Colorado.

Supporters of the pipeline say there are

their opposition to the legislavery few risks associated tion. with the project and arBennet spokesman Adam gue that thousands of jobs Bozzi said through an emailed would be created if President statement that although the Obama moves forward with senator voted for the bill, “He the effort. would prefer that instead of foObama is waiting for the Bennet Udall cusing our political debate on a State Department to connarrow issue that we develop a clude its review to determine broad and comprehensive enwhether the pipeline is in the best interest of the country. The agency is holding off on sub- ergy strategy to reduce carbon pollution and mitting its findings until the outcome of a Ne- support renewable energy.”

The effort received bipartisan support in braska Supreme Court case is known, which the Senate, but all the bill opponents were could affect the pipeline’s route.

Opponents cite environmental concerns Democrats. They included Sen. Mark Udall.

Udall had previously voted no on the bill associated with project. The extraction of crude oil from oil sands would pump greater in a Senate committee and wants to see the amounts of greenhouse gases into the air. Op- review process come to a completion before ponents also express concern over the poten- Congress takes action.

“Sen. Udall’s position on the Keystone tial impacts on underground water reserves, all for a project that would result in very few XL Pipeline has not changed,” Udall spokeslong-term jobs once the pipeline is complet- man Mike Saccone said through an emailed statement. “He continues to believe Congress ed, opponents argue.

Bennet joined 13 other Democrats in vot- should not be injecting politics into the ongoing for the bill, just hours after protesters gath- ing review.”

Area environmental groups hailed Demoered outside his Washington office to voice

crats like Udall for thwarting the effort.

“As a nation we need to rise to the challenge of reducing carbon pollution and not advance projects, like the Keystone XL pipeline, which will continue to add to the threat of climate change,” said Pete Maysmith, executive director for Conservation Colorado.

But the bill’s defeat does not mark the end of the pipeline expansion effort. Republicans will control both the House and the Senate beginning in January and it is expected that the new majority will continue to pressure the president on the issue.

And Udall will be among a handful of Democratic senators who will not be back next year to vote against the effort. Udall lost his re-election bid to current Congressman Cory Gardner, a Republican who calls the construction of the pipeline “long overdue.”

“The result of tonight’s Senate vote is another example that some in Congress would rather play partisan political games instead of supporting a common sense project that would put thousands of Americans back to work,” Gardner said through an emailed statement.

Chess great speaks out on Putin Kasparov shares his story and views with business leaders in Denver

By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Russian Garry Kasparov, hailed by many as the world’s greatest chess player, can no longer return to Moscow to visit his mother because his political activism against the government makes it dangerous to do so.

Instead, they meet in Tallinn, Estonia. He flies in from New York City, where he now lives with his family. She comes in from Moscow.

“It’s the closest capital to Moscow, so that is where I meet my mother. She’s 77. It’s too late for her to move to America,” Kasparov said at a Nov. 15 luncheon in his honor at the University of Denver’s Iliff School of Theology. The Colorado Business Roundtable and the Wyoming Business Alliance hosted the event.

Kasparov gave an impassioned speech to more than 60 business and community leaders about the dangers of the Vladimir Putinled Russian government, the importance of energy independence and social and political tension between Russia and neighboring Ukraine.

“Some of the messages that Mr. Kasparov spoke to today about leadership, and globalization of the economy, and how we interact and ramifications of lack of decisions and lack of decisions of strength impact the world globally as well as us here in the United States,” Colorado Business Roundtable President Jeff Wasden said.

Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, of the former Soviet Union, one of Russia’s most famous sons rarely visits the home he has dedicated his life to trying to improve — because of political pressure. Azerbaijan, which had been incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1920, proclaimed its independence in October 1991 before the USSR officially dissolved.

Kasparov became the youngest-undisputed world chess champion in 1985 at age 22

Garry Kasaparov speaks to a group of more than 60 local business owners and leaders Nov. 15 at the Iliff School of Theology at the University of Denver. Photo by Mike DiFerdinando by defeating then-champion Anatoly Karpov.

He was ranked as the No. 1 player in the world for 225 out of 228 months from 1986 until his retirement in 2005.

He is also famous for being the first world champion to lose a match to a computer under standard time controls, when he lost to the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue in 1997.

Since his retirement from the sport, Kasparov has instead been trading moves in the political arena as one of the most outspoken critics of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“People always want me to compare Putin’s strategy with my chess expertise, and speaking about Russia, I always say it’s irrelevant because in chess we have fixed rules and predictable results and in Russia its exactly the opposite,” Kasparov said. “As for the international arena, Putin plays poker and he’s a very good player. In poker it’s not about the quality of your hand, it’s about your ability to bluff. And Putin regularly has a very weak hand — say a pair of nines — but he acts as if he has a royal flush.”

Kasparov was instrumental in setting up The Other Russia, a coalition that opposes Putin’s government.

He has run for office, organized and participated in protests and even been arrested

back home in Russia.

In 2007, he ran for president as the The Other Russia party’s candidate. He was forced to withdraw his candidacy in December 2007 due to his inability to rent a meeting hall where at least 500 of his supporters could assemble to endorse his candidacy, as is legally required. Kasparov’s spokesperson accused the government of using pressure to deter anyone from renting a hall for the gathering.

In August 2012, Kasparov was arrested and beaten outside of the Moscow court while attending the verdict reading in the case involving the all-female punk band Pussy Riot.

He was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing with the help of video evidence from the scene that was circulated on the Internet.

Kasparov views Putin’s Russia as a global threat. Recently, he has been speaking around the world on Russia’s tensions with neighboring Ukraine and the dispute of the Black Sea boarder territory of Crimea.

He describes his adversary as a shrewd man who has mastered the art of aggression without outright military force, a man he says “wages war with banks not tanks.”

Kasparov, considered a left-leaning activist by many back home in Russia, sounds conservative by American standards. He’s an

admirer of American President Ronald Reagan and believes in strength through energy independence, the power of a credible threat and the use of military force against Putin if necessary.

“Fracking in Wyoming did more to hurt Putin’s rule of Russia than everything the Obama administration did in six years because it eventually brings oil prices down,” Kasparov said.

Many in the audience agreed with his message of a stronger stance toward Russia from the U.S. and its political allies.

“I think we are still in a strategic bipolar world, at least in regard to Russia,” said Peter Moore, president of the board for Vital For Colorado, an advocacy group for oil and natural gas. “And it has become more and more clear to me that (oil) is one of our greatest strategic tools — low-cost energy to strengthen the United States and weaken Russia.”

Kasparov also called for stronger international leadership and the necessity of nations to work in unison to stand up to oppressive governments and leaders.

“In chess we have a saying: The threat is more powerful than the execution,” Kasparov said.

A social media post led to the arrest of a man who allegedly assaulted a teen after a car accident.

Officers responded to a call of a fight between two men near the intersection of Jordan Road and Bradbury Parkway Nov. 8.

Witnesses said both men were outside of their vehicles during the altercation, but both the victim and suspect left prior to police arriving on scene.

The suspect was later identified by an anonymous informant as Steve Paula, 43, of Parker. He was booked into the Douglas County Detention Center Nov. 14 and charged with third-degree assault.

A police incident report Paula says the informant told the victim that a video of the incident had been posted to Snapchat and later erased, but that still images from the video had been preserved. The video was reportedly posted by the suspect’s daughter.

Parker police dispatchers located a Department of Motor Vehicles photo of Paula and investigators compared it to a still image from the video. They concluded that Paula, who is listed at 330 pounds on his driver’s license, was the suspect.

More than an hour after the assault, the Parker Police Department responded to a call from the alleged victim’s parents, who were at Parker Adventist Hospital with their son, Mason Deal. They said they found Deal disoriented in the family’s garage with cuts, bumps and bruises on his face.

He later told them that a large man had attacked him, but that he was unsure whether an accident had preceded the confrontation. A police officer who interviewed

Deal said he “repeated himself multiple times and would forget that we already spoke about certain topics.”

Deal told the officer that he lost count of how many punches hit him after the first one landed and that he did not remember fighting back. Deal also said he did not remember driving home.

Witnesses reported seeing a large Hispanic male punch a teen several times and that the teen did not strike back. One man estimated that the altercation lasted less than 30 seconds. He said a female was trying to break the two men up and kept saying “leave it alone,” “relax” and “stop.” The witness later saw a TV news segment featuring Deal’s version of events and disputed at least a portion of the story, telling police that the teen was never lying unconscious on the ground.

When contacted by investigators, Paula and his wife also told police they weren’t getting the whole story. “(Paula’s wife) said she did not condone what Steven did but that Steven did not pull Mason out of the car, like he stated in (the) news,” the incident report says.

Paula told police he was attempting to merge on southbound Jordan Road where it narrows to one lane, and that Deal sped up his SUV and “would not let him over.” The lanes merge and there was nowhere else for him to go because there is a median, Paula said.

His attempt to merge led to a minor collision and the other driver flipped him off, he said. Paula claimed Deal got out of his car and began yelling obscenities, and he did not want his children be “be around that behavior.” He admitted to punching Deal twice before leaving the scene. Paula said he did not call police because “the damage was minimal,” the incident report says.

Deal said he parked his car and was gathering his proof of insurance and registration “thinking they would exchange information,” when he was assaulted. He told police he did not remember whether he got out of his car.

The date of Paula’s first court appearance was not immediately available.

Ranch View math lessons take wing Teacher uses bats to pique students’ interest

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Some Ranch View Middle School students have been acting a little bit batty lately.

They’re rapping about bats, designing board games about bats, building bat habitats, writing newscasts about bats, interviewing experts about bats and advocating for the protection of bats.

All of it is part of a study on bat conservation initiated by their math teacher, Tiffiny Vaughn, who decided to try a highly integrated project approach at the Highlands Ranch school. She hoped it would encourage her seventh-grade students in mathematical thinking, critical analysis, creativity and innovation.

The subject she chose was bats.

“I can tell you, I didn’t learn math this way,” said Vaughn. “All I knew (previously) was to teach math using the traditional textbook method. You don’t interrelate it to other subjects.

“These kids are learning about cinematography, science, geographical regions of the world, the mathematical knowledge and sound frequencies bats use to communicate with each other. We’ve talked about Ebola and other communicable diseases, and how bats here in Colorado protect us from West Nile virus by eating mosquitos.”

Mathematics is woven throughout the study, with students using it to learn more

Home Depot kids’ workshop captain Jerry Flickinger shows Ranch View Middle School students Danny Keith, left, and Justin Smith how to make a bat habitat during a class project on Nov. 14. Photo by Jane Reuter about hibernation, how bats’ diets play into agriculture and crop protection, and by measuring and comparing wingspans, among other subjects.

“Some of the children have said, `We like math because it’s interesting now.’ It’s not just solving problem after problem,” Vaughn said.

“Math can be sometimes boring, but if you can relate it to the real world, it gives you the urge to do math,” said student Danny Keith.

Students conducted their own research, and chose a method for sharing their findings.

Zuriah Walsh chose to write a rap song

about bats, though he admits he had misgivings initially.

“At first, I thought it was a weird project; then I realized they do some pretty cool stuff,” he said. “People don’t realize how important bats are. They’re like natural pesticides.

“I like music, so I thought it would be cool to incorporate that with bats. We’re going to use some software on the Apple computer, create a beat and mix it in. When it comes together, it’s going to be pretty sick.”

“I thought bats were just some kind of Halloween scariness,” Justin Smith said.

“Then I realized how much they mean to us.”

Schomp Mini Cooper & Honda Dealership Ground Breaking Hundreds of Schomp Employees and Schomp fans gathered to celebrate the official groundbreaking of Schomp Auto’s new Mini Cooper and Honda dealerships in Highlands Ranch. The dealerships will be located East of Schomp’s BMW location just off of Lucent Blvd in Highlands Ranch.

After the official groundbreaking, attendees gathered at Schomp’s BMW dealership lobby for champagne and appetizers. Visitors learned about the upcoming plans and new dealerships.

Tara Pecha said she was always interested in bats, but now believes she wants to incorporate them into her future career.

“I’m going to write a letter to Obama,” she said. “I want to influence him, his wife and his daughters to build a bat home together.”

Tara and her father once helped save a young bat, which she said clung to her finger.

“I got to interact with the bat; I thought it was the cutest thing ever,” she said. “When I’m old enough, I want to volunteer at a bat place. I want to do something for the bats.”

On Nov. 14, a kids’ craft guide from the Highlands Ranch Home Depot helped students build bat habitats. In the spring, they’ll place the 10 structures in Douglas County open spaces to help build up the bat population.

“The point is to persuade people bats are good, and we need them,” said student Ashley Williams. “Without bats, there would be a major problem.”

Vaughn said the seventh-graders will return to more traditional math instruction when the bat study concludes. They may do a similar project next semester. Vaughn said she’s seen some previously quiet students come alive during the project, a thought that brings tears to her eyes as she shares it.

If that were not reward enough, the teacher is gleaning new knowledge along with her students.

“I personally have learned amazing things that I had no clue bats did, and how important they are to the ecosystem,” she said.

Calendar of Events

The Mini dealership will be 53,358 – square –feet and have two showrooms, a client lounge and café, a service center similar to Schomp BMW’s. The second floor will have a customer lounge and outdoor lounge area with a fireplace and John Cooper car display.

The relocation from Littleton to Highlands Ranch was prompted due to the growth of the dealerships.

REGARDING SB-251 RESTRICTED LICENSES ISSUED IN COLORADO This advisory is to inform the business community about the new restricted licenses issued under SB-251 as of August 1, 2014 in Colorado. SB-251 is a law that went into effect but essentially bifurcated the types of licenses that would be issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Persons who are US citizens and permanent residents are eligible for unrestricted licenses; every other type of person will be required to obtain a “restricted” license under the new regulations and laws. Those who are subject to the restricted license include persons who have temporary lawful presence and those who have no lawful presence. Those with temporary lawful presence includes refugees, those who have received deferred action or DACA, pending adjustment applicants, non-immigrant workers, investors, professional athletes, and students..

Those with no lawful presence are those with no current immigration status in the United States. Those with restricted licenses have a black banner printed across their license

that says, “Not valid for federal identification, voting or public benefit purposes.” The purpose for including both lawful and unlawful persons was to ensure that law enforcement would not selectively enforce criminal proceedings against persons not lawfully present in United States. As such, employers will be seeing their non-permanent resident workers, who are here legally in Colorado, with a restricted license.

The restricted license essentially means that the person cannot use that license for federal identification and benefit purposes.

This would include I-9 verification purposes as that process is a federal process. These persons must use alternative documentation to satisfy I-9 requirements. However, the restricted license is a valid ID and under state statute, it complies with the Real ID Act. The Real ID Act was passed in 2005 to ensure that states provided strict regulations as to how identification documents and driver licenses are issued in order to ensure integrity and security. As such, these licenses, though

restricted, are valid for other state identification purposes such as opening bank accounts and auto registration.

Employers must be very careful not to subject themselves to discrimination laws when scrutinizing restricted licenses for their nonpermanent resident workers in the United States. If employers or other business vendors have questions about the implementation of a restricted driver license, please go to the Department of Motor Vehicles website page at https://www.colorado.gov/dmv If employers are concerned about the I-9 verification of an employee with a restricted license, they should contact an immigration attorney for legal advice as soon as possible.

Abstract art can offer a workout If you have to see a picture of a man screaming on a bridge, you have to see a picture of a man screaming on a bridge.

Edvard Munch will take care of you.

If you have to see a vibrant red and coral-colored flower, blown up and covering the entire canvas, well, that’s what you have to see.

Georgia O’Keeffe will take care of you.

But what if there is no screaming man or vibrantly colored flower?

What if there is nothing more than a big area of color? With nothing recognizable anywhere?

Are you lost? Disinterested?

Many are, even though abstract art has been around for more than a hundred years.

I have watched viewers walk past abstract paintings lickety-split.

I have an idea, in the form of a comparison.

Who doesn’t like a little Mozart now and then? Or Dave Brubeck? Or even a Jimmy Page solo? What do they all have in common? The music is wordless.

As a listener, it’s up to you to create images in your imagination. Or better still, to simply listen without trying to read any imagery into the music.

I realize that there are contrary examples: It’s impossible to listen to the “Grand Canyon Suite” and not visualize pack mules.

I am an Abstract Expressionist, and the illegitimate son of the very first Abstract Expressionist, Wassily Kandinsky.

Kandinsky was as brave as the first man to eat a dried lizard or lutefisk.

The Abstract Expressionists who were painting in America in the ‘40s and ‘50s shifted the focus of the art world for the first time from Western Europe to the United States.

I am not going to try to convert anyone. If you have to see clouds or trees or galloping sheep in a painting, or else, that may never change.

We tend to want something to hold on to, and complete abstractions don’t do it for many people. But if you put a bunch of water lilies in there, everything is just fine.

Monet’s beautiful “Water Lilies” series is a great introduction to abstract art.

You can’t do any better than Monet.

And that includes van Gogh, a contemporary of Monet’s. Van Gogh gets more press, but Monet was a better artist. He just didn’t cut off his ear, and become mythic.

There is a “Water Lilies” room, an entire room, at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

I have gone to New York with no other aspiration — except to have a corned beef sandwich and a kosher pickle at the Carnegie Deli — than to see those lilies.

And that’s what I am asking you to do.

Just stand there at some distance, and then walk toward them.

Eventually you will no longer see water lilies. You will see colors, brush strokes, subtle transitions of blue to blue-green to green. And you will be in the land of Abstract Expressionism.

What do you see when you listen to “Take Five” by Dave Brubeck? I don’t see anything. But I sense a number of things.

Melody, pacing, rhythm, repetition, a blues-scale, and quintuple time. It is famous for its “two-chord piano vamp.”

I couldn’t tell you what a two chord piano vamp is.

All I know is that “Take Five” makes it inside. It is an irreplaceable few minutes of my life, and I can’t thank Brubeck enough.

Some abstract artists are understandably difficult. Maybe Jackson Pollock is the most difficult abstract artist ever, at least among those who have been acclaimed.

“My child could do that.” Not really, or if your child can do that on a huge stretched canvas, with a grasp of composition, variety, cohesion, and accountability, and have it appreciated, it’s because Pollock did those things first.

He gave viewers something other than the enigma of a woman with a wry smile (“Mona Lisa”) to think about.

Giving is a blessing to be thankful for For many people, there is a ton of activity and action going on during Thanksgiving Day. Some families and neighbors gather to play football in the park or the street while others settle in for some action-packed football on TV. Others find action in gathering together to help serve and feed others through homeless shelters and other organizations. And anyone who has ever collected food, prepared food, served food, or washed dishes and scrubbed pots and pans for those less fortunate will tell you that there is plenty of activity and action taking place. I may not be the best person to cook or prepare the meals, but I am one heck of a pots and pans scrubber.

To give thanks, a verb and a call to action are neatly tied up in this wonderful holiday. And if we are blessed enough to be able to share our gratitude and appreciation with those we love and with those who may be experiencing a

difficult time in their lives right now, we are called to action, called to act upon Thanksgiving.

Now I have met and heard from people who have the very best of intentions to do something bigger with their time and their lives. And that feeling swells each year as the holidays approach. Yet when I meet them again during or maybe even after the New Year and ask how their “giving” and Thanksgiving season went, I hear a mixed response. Some are eager to share their victories of contribu-

tion and the elation they experienced, while others fall back on the excuses such as a lack of time or something else came up.

Is it a lack of time? Did something else really come up? Or is it just a lack of commitment in connecting what we desire to do most in our hearts with the justification of what is happening in our heads? You see, if we have been blessed enough to help and give when we can, shouldn’t we? Think of it this way, it’s kind of like the person who builds a home gym so that they will get committed to a workout routine but ends up with a collection of weights and machines that collect dust. Or the person that says they want to learn a foreign language and buys Rosetta Stone only to leave the box on a shelf or in a closet.

It’s not the gym equipment or cool teaching technology that failed us, it is Norton continues on Page 11

Social Security crucial in retirement planning This year, more than 59 million Americans will receive Social Security benefits of almost $863 billion. By 2033, older Americans will increase to 77 million. If there are no changes to the Social Security system before then, the average benefit payable will be 77 percent of the full amount. This is clearly stated on every Social Security statement, even though you may now need to go online to view your statement at www.ssa.gov.

These facts will make retirement planning more challenging in the future. Currently, anyone approaching Social Security age should research and plan for the best possible lifetime benefit. Do not assume that collecting at a certain age is the only option you have. There are ways you can combine benefits with a spouse, whether divorced or married and as a survivor, to perhaps collect more than your own benefit.

For single wage earners, who were never married, the best way to increase your Social Security benefit is to work longer or delay when you collect. The earliest age you are eligible, if you have at least 40 quarters or 10 years of paying into the Social Security system, is 62. Your benefit will

increase by 8 percent for every year you delay taking benefits up to age 70. If your life expectancy is greater than age 80, this may yield you more lifetime benefits than collecting at a younger age.

Married couples have several ways to optimize their benefits. The two most common are file and suspend, or file a restricted application.

To file and suspend, the higher wage earner files at full retirement age and suspends his or her payment until a later date, ideally age 70. This allows for the Delayed Retirement Credits (DRC) of 8 percent per year to start accruing. This also allows the spouse to receive benefits up to 50 percent of the worker’s full retirement age benefit.

The spouse may also file a restricted ap-

our lack of commitment to taking the action that prevented us from reaching our goals. And one of the best parts of Thanksgiving is in its inherent call to action.

I have heard so many stories from people who always wanted to “give” or do something more in their lives and found that Thanksgiving was an awesome day to place their “giving” stake in the ground and begin following their heart.

For those who read this column regularly, I know that this next statement will sound like a broken record, but here it goes.

hugs, and prayers, the person who experiences the greatest joy is not the person receiving what is given, rather it is the person that is doing the giving that in turn receives the most joy.

Happy Thanksgiving, a verb and a call to action.

How about you, is Thanksgiving a launching point for you to give back in some way to our community? Or have you already been a compassionate and consistent giver of thanks?

Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we take up that call to action, it really will be a better than good week, holiday season, year, and life.

plication, requesting to collect only under the spousal benefit for several years, hence receiving Delayed Retirement Credits up to age 70. At that time the spouse can “switch” to his or her own benefit that has increased to the maximum level.

Using these scenarios, a married couple can increase their lifetime benefits by almost $400,000, depending on their incomes and life expectancies.¹ A divorced person who is unmarried can also apply for spousal benefits on an ex-spouse’s record if the couple had been married for 10 years or longer. There are opportunities to file a restricted application and received DRC in this situation as well.

A widow or widower is entitled to survivor benefits on either their own record or their deceased spouse’s record, whichever is greater. This is why it is important to have at least one wage earner delay benefits to create a larger survivor benefit as well as a higher lifetime combined benefit.

It is important to explore these different options to help define what your retirement income will be and how much you will need to supplement Social Security from other resources. This will allow you

Veterans share stories, kinship Lunch at senior center brings military vets together

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com They made a stand for their country every way they knew how.

Jeanne Wells, 95, signed up to be a nurse during World War II and treated the wounded in North Africa and Italy before contracting tuberculosis and being sent home. One regret, albeit one out of her control, still lingers: She didn’t get to travel with the troops when Germany was liberated.

Bob Gholson, an 81-year-old transplant from Texas, was drafted into the U.S. Army at the age of 19 and faced combat at the tail end of the Korean War. “It was almost over but they were still shooting,” Gholson says, holding a well-worn steel helmet, the only relic of his service from 1953-55.

The chatter of 60 people, many of them military veterans, filled the dining room at the Parker Senior Center on Nov. 11 for the first of what will become an annual luncheon to mark Veterans Day. There was no formal presentation.

The veterans simply swapped stories over lunch and were kind enough to let a few lucky outsiders bend a curious ear toward their conversations.

Roles differed vastly. Some kept a watch on the home front, some braved the front lines, others tended to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Wells, a member of the Parker Senior Center for 10 years and the eldest of her veteran peers, helped pave the way for women in the military, like Marianne Smith, who at 54 is the youngest military veteran of the senior center’s mem-

It’s the last relic of his service. ABOVE: Jeanne Wells, 95, the oldest military veteran at the Parker Senior Center, and the youngest veteran member, Marianne Smith, 54, swap stories on Veterans Day. Wells served as a nurse in Italy and North Africa during World War II. Photos by Chris Michlewicz bers. She served in the U.S. Air Force from 1985-1995. The women got a chance to chat briefly during a photo op.

A Parker resident for 20 years, Smith comes from a proud military family, and being in a room with veterans brings about a similar feeling.

“It’s great camaraderie for us all, and that’s what we were used to when we were in the military,” she said. “It makes us happy to share.”

Now her daughter is a flight medic in the Reserves, and the tradition continues.

The same can be said for the Veterans Day lunch, said Anne Marie Dziemian, a senior center volunteer who helped organize the event. When Dziemian put out the word that the lunch was being organized for the federal holiday formerly known as Armistice Day, she received about 20 phone calls from veterans who wanted to join and couldn’t wait to share their tales.

“There was no way I couldn’t listen to the stories,” Dziemian said.

Battle against cancer inspires worldwide village Highlands Ranch doctor finds strength from random acts of kindness

By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com When Jill Pechacek refers to her village of support, she means the one that extends well past Highlands Ranch and Colorado. It hits all 50 states and spans across oceans, reaching 13 countries.

Pechacek, 46, a single mother and doctor in Highlands Ranch, has been battling late-stage pancreatic cancer since her diagnosis in September. The village, consisting of people performing random acts of kindness, is what gives her strength.

“Acts of kindness should be a part of life — part of our normal routine,” Pechacek said. “Everyone should have that village, not just people who are sick.”

Pechacek is sick — her cancer has advanced to Stage 4. But she’s determined to conquer this fight for her three children.

“God’s got this,” she said. “It’s out of my control, but I think God means for me to be here for a while.”

The random-act-of-kindness village grew out of a CaringBridge page set up by Pechacek’s sister, Holly O’Keefe.

O’Keefe’s 5-year-old son was diagnosed with brain cancer in November 2011, and after his diagnosis, a friend set up a CaringBridge page for him. CaringBridge is a great way to communicate with a large group, O’Keefe said.

Then Pechacek posted the Dr. Jill Pechacek 29:11 Challenge on the page.

“She wanted it to be something bigger than herself,” O’Keefe said. “Something good out of something bad.”

The Dr. Jill Pechacek 29:11 Challenge calls on participants to perform 29 random, but purposeful, acts of kindness within 11 days. The challenge is based on Jeremiah 29:11, a Bible verse in which the Lord declares “plans to give you hope and a future.”

It’s caught on.

A company in Iowa City noticed the big

Pechacek is battling late-stage pancreatic cancer, but is determined to conquer the disease to be there for her children. Courtesy photos response on CaringBridge and offered to set up and manage a Facebook page for the challenge, which, in three weeks as of Nov. 17, had received more than 850 likes.

High school sports teams and clubs, church groups and business offices are accepting the challenge. They come from Littleton, Arapahoe and ThunderRidge high schools and also as far away as China.

One person wrote about a woman who was working for $1 a day, and the act of kindness was purchasing groceries for the woman, which would have taken her at least 10 days to afford. People are making Toys for Tots donations, cleaning the snow off a pregnant woman’s car, corralling shopping carts at the grocery store, walking a

Customers like you keep this community merry and vibrant, and we appreciate your support.

“It’s amazing how complete strangers will reach out,” Pechacek said.

A fourth-grade teacher at Cherry Hills Christian school in Highlands Ranch helps Pechacek’s children, Hawk, 12, Brooks, 10, and Hope, 8, with their homework every day after school, said Pechacek’s best friend, Maria Sopcich.

“It allows her to spend time with her kids,” Sopcich said, “to be with them and just be a mom.”

Pechacek’s village is made up of “so many wonderful and supportive friends,” she added, people from her early childhood, college, church and missionaries residing in other countries.

She connects with others who also have a deep desire to help people, Sopcich said.

“She inspires people to be a better person.

She makes every individual person feel important — her friends, children and patients.”

Pechacek practices family and aesthetic medicine. She and Dr. Matt Claussen founded Aspen Family Care, 9331 S. Colorado Blvd., Highlands Ranch, in 1997.

She has spent her life caring for others, O’Keefe said, and has always put everyone else first. So she is not surprised that so many people have responded to the challenge.

“Her positive-energy impact on life is contagious,” O’Keefe said. “She has a warmth that most of us don’t have.”

The posts on Facebook are inspiring, Sopcich said, because people are always looking for a way to pay it forward. Posting pictures and random acts of kindness is a way for them to do so.

But “the most important thing is the positive encouragement that her village is doing to lift her up,” Sopcich said.

O’Keefe said it is her turn to be there for her sister. When O’Keefe’s son was first diagnosed with cancer, Pechacek “dropped everything, got on a plane and was at the

org/visit/jillpechacek. To access Pechacek’s page, people may set up a CaringBridge account or sign in with an existing social media account.

hospital in an hour.”

“We’re trying to return that strength back to her,” she said.

O’Keefe, a resident of Overland Park, Kan., comes to Highlands Ranch as often as she can. Pechacek and O’Keefe’s son receive their chemo treatments every other week, and O’Keefe tries to attend the therapy sessions in each state to help support her two family members.

“God must think I’m pretty strong,” O’Keefe said. “It’s a job He has given me, and I’ll do what I can to fulfill the mission.”

An instant connection

Pechacek and Sopcich became “instant best friends” in 1994 when Pechacek moved to Colorado to do her residency at Swedish Hospital — it was only a few weeks after Pechacek had her last chemotherapy session and beat ovarian cancer.

Although the two didn’t know each other during Pechacek’s battle with ovarian cancer, it is Sopcich’s turn to reciprocate, Sopcich said, because Pechacek was there “every step of the way” during Sopcich’s battle with Stage 3 breast cancer.

“She took me wig shopping,” Sopcich said, “and she bought one, too. She wore it to every chemo session so I wasn’t wearing mine alone — so I wouldn’t be alone.”

Sopcich and Pechacek are godparents to each other’s children, live on the same block and have the same bucket list, Sopcich said. She has no doubts Pechacek will beat pancreatic cancer.

Besides the support Pechacek conjures from her village, her faith plays a big role in providing her strength.

“I’m a big believer in the power of prayer,” Pechacek said. “I’m fueled by faith.

God is our healer — our greatest physician.”

She also believes in the power of imagery.

Pechacek often pictures everyone who she has inspired on a battlefield, in full armor. It helps her remember she’s not alone in her fight.

“You’re only as strong as your village,” she said, “and we have an amazing village.”

More than 100 people were wearing purple shirts with the slogan “God’s got this” at the 2014 Pancreatic Cancer Research Walk at Sloan’s Lake Nov. 2. Dr. Jill Pechacek, of Highlands Ranch, is pictured, center, with her two friends, from left, Kari Sliva, of Phoenix, and Kate Moreland, of Iowa City, who flew to Colorado to support Pechacek on the walk.

Sumo-sized science Assembly meant to engage middle school students

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com What does it take to get middle school students interested in physics? Staging a clash between teachers in sumo suits is a good start.

Cimarron Middle School in Parker got a visit from “FMA Live!” during its “Forces in Motion” tour, a series of performances meant to inspire teens to pursue a career in science, technology and math. Sponsored by NASA and Honeywell, the Nov. 14 assembly combined hip-hop music about concepts like inertia, video clips of an Isaac Newton impersonator interviewing people on a public street, and student participation to convey the basic principles of physics.

When “FMA Live!” actors spun a Velcro wall to face the audience, student Wyatt Bevill was hanging sideways from it. He and student Jimmy Dean then took turns launching from a springboard during a lesson about Newton’s First Law of Motion.

The assembly also put faculty members in the thick of the action. Principal Chris Zimmerman and health teacher Beau Davies dressed in sumo suits and slammed into each other to demonstrate the idea that force equals mass times acceleration (the equation for which “FMA Live!” is

named).

“The kids, every single one of them, when I looked at their faces, they were engaged in it,” Zimmerman said.

In an attempt to represent Newton’s Third Law of Motion that states “for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction,” assistant principal Cindy Corlett subjected herself to a new type of dunk tank. Two teams of Cimarron students flung rubber balls from a slingshot and tried to hit a target that would dump the contents of a vat above Corlett’s head. When one ball hit its mark, she was doused in applesauce, to the delight of nearly 500 seventhgraders.

To Corlett, the mess was worth it. She says it’s important to make education fun.

“With the 21st Century learners that we have, they are poised to really run our world, but they need excitement in their learning to carry them through,” she said. “Middle school is a perfect time to get kids interested in science, technology and math because they get choices in high school, and then in college and their career.”

The scenes were repeated twice more that day for the school’s sixth- and eighth-graders. Earlier in the week, “FMA Live!” also stopped by Cresthill Middle School in Highlands Ranch and Castle Rock Middle School.

The assembly took a year of planning because of all of the logistics involved. A massive stage was set up in the gymnasium and lights and speakers added to the energetic atmosphere.

“We wanted this to be a great experience that the kids will always remember, and it looks like it was,” Corlett said.

encouraged interaction. The park is going to be full of children and they wanted something that could be approached by children and interacted with,” Castle Rock management analyst Kristin Zagurski said. “They also wanted to see representations of books, given Philip Miller’s contribution to the library. They wanted to see if the rock itself could be incorporated into the sculpture and some representation of water.”

On the back of the wall, the town would like to incorporate

DCSD Continued from Page 1

DCSD based on its belief in local control for boards of education.

Richardson thanked DeLay for the brief, saying it renewed his interest in membership.

Silverthorn suggested a trial partnership that wouldn’t require full CASB membership, but DeLay said the association bylaws don’t provide for such an arrangement.

Board president Kevin Larsen suggested DCSD rejoin on a trial basis.

“I think we can join for this year,” he said. “I certainly would like to see us give this a try, especially with the number of endeavors that are coming this session.”

Reynolds and Silverthorn remain skeptical.

“I’m not real clear on how it’s going to benefit us, but we’ll see,” Reynolds said. “It’s not clear to me that our interests and CASB’s interests align enough of the time.”

some history about the Millers, their lives and contributions to the community. It will be a substantial piece — big enough for adults to sit next to and pose for a picture.

The goal is to get it installed no later than July 1.

The contract with the artist stipulates that there would be no similar sculpture within 60 miles.

“When we sat for a couple hours and went through all the different sculptures and artists, we were looking for something that was simplistic and representative of Philip S. Miller,” Councilmember Jennifer Green said. “I think this is what everyone was discussing. It’s simplistic. It’s not over the top but it’s very representative of the community. It shows children, but there’s a purpose behind it. I think this is going to look great in the park.”

But because DCSD is joining in the middle of a membership year, “We’ll have six months to find out and decide if we want to rejoin again,” Reynolds said. “This is a trial period, to learn more about what they do and what they offer.

We’ll see how it goes.”

Both women previously cited CASB minutes that showed the organization has a budget shortfall and would use DCSD’s $24,000 membership fee to help fill that financial hole.

Silverthorn said she’d hoped the association would at least pro-rate its membership fees to reflect the district’s mid-year membership, “but they’re evidently not going to.”

“We’re in it now, so I’m going to be looking forward to seeing how it works out. I’ll certainly be keeping tabs on it.”

DCSD was one of only four of the state’s 178 that do not belong to the association. The other three non-members are “very small, very rural and very poor,” DeLay told the board.

Established in 1940, the state association describes itself as an advocate for boards of education that provides services and training to support school board members. It also lobbies the state Legislature on issues important to school boards.

SkyView students have warm hearts Denver school benefits from winter coat drive

By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Sixty-six students at an elementary school in Denver will be bundled up in warm coats this winter, thanks to the efforts of SkyView Academy students and their Warm Coats, Warm Hearts Donation Drive.

Johnson Elementary, located near Jewell Avenue and Federal Boulevard, has a rule that if the temperature is above 32 degrees, the students are required to go outside for recess, said SkyView middle school Spanish teacher Cindy Van, who led the Warm Coats, Warm Hearts Donation Drive.

“Some of them are not adequately dressed,” she said. “(So) we did what we could.”

Johnson Elementary is about 25 minutes away from SkyView, which is practically “our backyard,” she said.

Poverty is “actually happening,” Van said, “and it’s really close to us.”

About 90 percent of the school is on reduced-price lunches, said Van, a former teacher at Johnson.

SkyView students had an eye-opening and humbling experience by participating in the coat drive, Van said. They learned about another lifestyle, and that the students at Johnson Elementary are “kids, just like these kids.”

Johnson Elementary, a K-5 with about 450 students, received its delivery of the 66 winter coats on Oct. 22. “(The kids) were so grateful,” Van said.

“They were really happy that people would think of them.”

The Warm Coats, Warm Hearts Donation Drive is just one of the charity service projects that SkyView Academy, a preschool through 12th-grade public charter school in Highlands Ranch, does throughout the year.

The service projects are generally chosen based on something the school com-

munity values, said Lorrie Grove, SkyView Academy board president.

Service projects that have been done in the past include recycling projects, toy drives and a blanket drive when students hand-made blankets and donated them to a women’s shelter, Grove said.

Some of the service projects are repeated annually, but the school is always adding new ones, Grove said.

“We’ve done all sorts of service projects in our history,” she said. “It’s important that our students know how to give back to the community, to the world.”

Generally, the service projects don’t involve money donations. “The projects are about doing,” Grove said, rather than giving monetarily.

Student participation is voluntary, Grove said, so it is not something they are required to do for a grade. However, students usually want to be involved, and get excited to be a part of the service projects.

Grove added she couldn’t think of a specific example when a student didn’t want to participate.

They “feel a sense of pride,” she said.

In addition, all of the 1,350 students who attend SkyView are able to participate in the service projects.

“It builds school community and camaraderie,” Grove said. “Older kids can be role models for younger kids.”

For example, during the blanket-making service project, high school students were teaching the pre-kindergarten students how to tie the knots that held the blankets together, Grove said.

A service project is organized by first forming a team of teachers who represent the different grade levels of SkyView Academy. For example, along with Van, the rest of the team for the Warm Coats, Warm Hearts Donation Drive consisted of high school teacher Elana Mamayan, and elementary school teachers Jodi Tilbury, Shanna Casinelli and Debbie Gary.

The service team meets and brainstorms ideas until a project is decided on, Grove said. Then, the leadership is turned over to the students.

“The kids are responsible to help pro-

Students at SkyView Academy in Highlands Ranch collected coats for a Warm Coats, Warm Hearts Donation Drive. The students’ efforts benefited 66 children at Johnson Elementary, a K-5 in the Denver Public School system with about 450 students. The delivery was made on Oct. 22. Courtesy photo mote it,” Grove said, “(and) help their peers become aware of the project they’re working on.”

For the Warm Coats, Warm Hearts service project, promotion included hanging “kid-made” posters and passing out fliers.

SkyView students were promoting the Warm Coats, Warm Hearts service project

for three weeks, Van said, and the coat collecting took place for one week.

Students at SkyView got excited every time they had a new coat to donate, Van said. It was a good experience for everyone involved.

“It warmed my heart to be able to do something like that,” Van said.

To everyone else, they are family members, friends and co-workers. To 200 Douglas County seniors, they are knights in shining armor.

The Neighbor Network, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping seniors stay in their homes, made recent news when its office manager, Nancy Nielsen, was awarded for her selflessness. Nielsen described the experience as “humbling,” but she views the exposure as an opportunity to drum up support in the form of willing volunteers and donors.

As Nielsen tells it, she found herself in 2004 sitting on the couch, watching hours of soap operas, when Nielsen she was struck by a revelation: She needed to make better use of her time. The Parker resident promptly volunteered for three local organizations, including the Neighbor Network.

The coalition of 72 volunteers spends its time taking seniors to medical appointments and grocery shopping, and providing companionship to those who are isolated.

During the summer, the helpers perform

yard work for seniors. In the winter, they shovel snow.

“Anything we can do, that’s what we do for them,” Nielsen says. “There is nothing we will not try.”

The Neighbor Network, which is funded strictly by grants and donations, has volunteer positions with names like “fix-it coordinator” and “grocery coordinator.” While the group has capably addressed the local needs of many seniors, there are 50 people on the waiting list who are in need of a helping hand. Anyone who has two or three hours per week to spare is a good candidate.

“There is really a great need for volunteers in Douglas County,” Nielsen said.

There is immense gratitude for the work that gets done, but those coordinating the efforts get just as much out of helping.

Nielsen calls the work rewarding, and those around her say that observing Nielsen in action is uplifting. Karie Erickson, executive director of the Neighbor Network, said Nielsen answers hundreds of requests for service per month and “always gives her best to each caller.”

“Nancy has such a heart for service,” Erickson said. “She comes to work and truly makes a difference to those she helps — always giving an encouraging word, helping to solve a problem, and coming up with resources that will make someone’s life better.”

As long as she is assisting seniors in staying “independent and happy,” Nielsen is satisfied.

To get involved in the Neighbor Network, call 303-660-7519 or go to www.dcneighbornetwork.org.

Winter requires focus on road safety

So MINI cars to choose from

The News-Press 19

Poor conditions bring need for different tactics Metro Creative Many people will remember the winter of 2013-14 for all the wrong reasons. Record low temperatures and heavy snowfall were the story last winter.

With winter now on the horizon once again, many motorists are looking for ways to ensure their daily commutes or holiday trips to visit family and friends are as safe as possible.

When wintry conditions, including snowfall, compromise driving conditions, it’s best for motorists to stay home.

But avoiding roadways altogether is not always an option, so motorists who simply must venture out onto the roadways this winter can employ the following strategies to ensure they safely arrive at their destinations.

• Consider winter tires. Many drivers are unsure if they need winter tires. All-season tires may suffice for those drivers who live in regions where heavy snowfall is uncommon.

But winter tires are designed to perform when the temperatures are especially cold and in driving conditions featuring ice, slush and snow. Drivers who live in regions where snowfall is significant or even expected to be significant may want to install winter tires just to be on the safe side.

Some drivers mistakenly believe that vehicle features such as anti-lock braking systems and traction control make their tires more capable of handling wintry roads. But such features do not provide more traction. ABS and traction control only prevent drivers from over-braking or overpowering the traction of their tires. Only better tires will improve traction.

• Drive slowly. Many drivers mistakenly believe they only need to drive slowly when snow is falling. But winter weather can make roadways unsafe even in areas that have not witnessed a single snowflake fall from the sky.

Wet winter roads can quickly turn into icy winter roads, and no ABS system or traction control device can prevent a car that’s traveling too fast from skidding out.

Poor visibility is another reason to drive slowly in winter. Peripheral vision is often compromised when driving in winter, as dirt, salt or sand buildup on windshields and side windows and mirrors can make it hard for

Winter storms often make for unsafe driving conditions, and motorists must alter their habits when making winter trips. Metro Creative motorists to fully view their surroundings.

Even if your vision is not compromised, a fellow motorist’s might be. So ease up on the gas pedal in winter so you have more time to react to potentially adverse conditions.

• Don’t drive too closely to other motorists.

In addition to driving slowly, motorists also should leave extra room between their vehicles and the vehicles in front of them. In such conditions, for every 10 mph, drive a minimum of four car lengths behind the motorist in front of you.

So if you are driving 50 mph, be sure to leave 20 car lengths between you and the car ahead of you. This gives you ample time to react and builds in some extra response time should your visibility be compromised.

• Maintain your vehicle. A vehicle should be maintained regardless of the season, but it’s especially important that your vehicle perform at its peak in winter. A vehicle’s battery and windshield wipers are a winter driver’s best friend, but only if they are operating at optimal capacity. Being stranded on a roadside in winter is more dangerous than in any other time of year.

That’s because driver visibility is more compromised in winter, and it can be hard for motorists to see or avoid vehicles on the side of the road.

Maintain proper fluid levels and make sure your battery is charged and the gas tank is full before making any winter trips.

Wintry conditions often make driving especially hazardous.

But drivers who adopt certain habits when driving in winter can greatly reduce their risk of accidents.

Family business owners, from left, Logan Wallace holding Bowie Wallace, Lisa Schomp, Aaron, Mark and Tyler Wallace break ground Nov. 18 for the new MINI and Honda dealerships coming soon to Highlands Ranch.

A groundbreaking ceremony took place Nov. 18 for two new car dealerships coming soon to Highlands Ranch — Schomp Honda and Schomp MINI. The dealerships will be constructed on 14.5 acres adjacent to the Schomp BMW dealership near C-470 and Lucent Boulevard, with the goal of opening in January 2016. This is a milestone for the company, said owner Lisa Schomp, and added it’s exciting to see the company move forward to another level —one she believes will be an incredibly successful endeavor.

Traditional financing recommended for C-470 expansion Next step is for state’s transportation commission to make final funding call Staff report Colorado’s High Performance Transportation Enterprise board of directors has recommended that the C-470 expansion project — to add lanes between I-25 and Kipling in both directions — be a publicly funded, designbuild project.

The board’s recommendation, made on Nov. 19, now moves on to the state’s transportation commission for consideration.

“HPTE completed an analysis on how to finance and deliver the C-470 project, including both a public-private partnership (P3) and design-build public funding approach,” HPTE board chairman Tim Gagen said in a news re-

lease.

“Our analysis shows that due to the limited size and scope of the C-470 project, the state does not appear to receive any additional value in using a P3. … (The) public funding delivery model provide(s) the best value for taxpayers on this project.”

The C-470 tolled express lanes project is being done to address safety improvements, severe congestion and prepare for future growth in the corridor. The project will add tolled express lanes in each direction and rebuild various on-ramps along C-470 between I-25 westward to approximately Kipling Parkway. The tolled express lanes will be priced to provide a reliable travel time and will be in addition to the existing four general-purpose lanes that will require no user fees.

The state’s transportation commission charged HPTE to explore financing and delivery options that included public-private partnership and design-build public funding for

the C-470 project. HPTE’s financial analysis is applied on a case-by-case basis to key Colorado projects with a significant funding gap, and where there are opportunities to accelerate project timelines, get more value for taxpayer dollars, and possibly include long-term maintenance obligations.

The C-470 project is estimated to cost $230 million. CDOT has identified $112 million in local, state and federal funding, leaving a funding gap of $118 million to be funded by toll revenue bonds and other sources. HPTE will issue the toll revenue bonds, and all future toll revenues will be allocated to maintenance and improvements to the C-470 corridor.

“We appreciate the collaboration and level of engagement that CDOT and HPTE conducted with stakeholders as part of their analysis on this project, which is so important to the vitality of the local area and the metro region,” said Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon, who chairs the C-470 Corridor Coalition’s Pol-

icy Committee.

As part of the analysis, CDOT and the HPTE conducted telephone town halls and town hall meetings in various communities in the C-470 corridor in August and September.

Project fact sheets, handouts and answers to frequently asked questions from those community events can be accessed at www.coloradohpte.com.

Preliminary schedules have construction for the C-470 improvements beginning in the summer of 2016, with construction mostly complete by December 2017.

The HPTE operates as a governmentowned, independent business within CDOT. It searches out innovative ways to finance projects to help Colorado fulfill its commitment to increase travel choices through options that include express lanes, transit, biking, walking and carpooling.

Show puts collage together Center for Visual Arts offers varied exhibition

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com While the art of collage can be traced back to ancient civilizations, it has been associated most strongly with 20th-century modernists, such as Braque and Picasso, and continues to interest today’s artists nationally and internationally. The National Collage Society advances the stature of collage as a major art medium.

Metropolitan State University’s Center for Visual Art, located in the Santa Fe Art District, offers a new exhibition of collage and assemblage by 91 artists, local and national, called “Greater Than the Sum: National Collage Society Exhibition.” It runs through Jan. 24 at the contemporary MSU gallery.

Works displayed were chosen in a competition that drew 393 entries from five different countries: the United States, Croatia, Italy, Hungary and Canada. The jurors were Janice McDonald, collage artist and director of Denver’s Spark Gallery, Marilee Salvator, associate professor of art at MSU Denver, and Cecily Tyson, CVA creative director.

The exhibition judge is Pavel Zoubok, who owns a New York gallery and is founder and director of the nonprofit arts organization, International Collage Center.

A catalog published by the NCS will be available for $10.

In the Emerging Artist Gallery is Ah-Sem-Blahj, an exhibition of assemblage and collage work by Denver artists, many of whom are MSU students.

It was organized by student curators.

Each year, 97.3 KBCO compiles a select few of these recordings on the annual KBCO Studio C CD release.

The limited-edition CD will be available beginning at 8 a.m. Dec. 6 at all Colorado Whole Foods Market locations. There will be a limit of two CDs per person and the collection will be sold for $12. Traditionally the annual CD release sells out in about one day, with eager KBCO Studio C fans lining up before sunrise.

Proceeds from the sale of the KBCO Studio C Volume 26 CD will benefit the Food Bank of the Rockies and Boulder County AIDS Project.

Holiday box office opens

For the first time, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts is opening a holiday box office in an off-premises storefront on First Avenue between Detroit and Clayton streets in Cherry Creek North.

The temporary Cherry Creek pop-up store will do much more than sell tickets and gift certificates (with all handling fees waived). There will be a stage for free performances, free activities for kids and information about the wide variety of activities offered.

The 4,000-square-foot space opened Nov. 21 and runs through Dec. 23.

“We want to reinforce the idea that there are great things happening at the DCPA every day,” said Creative Director Rob Silk.

DIA lifting spirits

Denver-based airport concessionaire Mission Yogurt Inc. launched its new #LiftYourSpirits complimentary wine, beer and spirits tasting series from Nov. 19 at Timberline Steaks & Grille in Denver International Airport Concourse C. The tastings, the first and third Wednesdays of every month, will continue with Palisade-based Contreras Wines on Dec. 3; Denver-based Mile High Spirits on Dec. 17; and Denver-based Infinite Monkey Theorem sparkling wines in celebration of New Year’s Eve on Dec. 31.

“Travel can be a stressful experience, especially around the holidays,” said Mission Yogurt Inc. president and owner Rod Tafoya. “We hope that Mission’s new #LiftYourSpirits series will help travelers relax and enjoy their travel a little more. Offering travelers a pleasant food and beverage experience in an appealing environment has always been at the core of our mission as a company. This is just one more way we can accomplish that goal.”

‘Red Ranger’ is colorful tale Aurora Fox offers musical for holidays

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com New holiday fare offers a pleasing alternative to “A Christmas Carol” and “Miracle on 34th St.” this season. “Red Ranger Came Calling” plays Nov. 28 to Dec. 20 at the Aurora Fox — a musical story for kids and grown-ups alike.

This will be the second place in the nation to produce this play, according to 11-year-old Aidan Flaugh, who plays Red. It was originally developed by BookIt Theatre in Seattle, which creates plays from established books, using the text and narrative.

In this case, it drew from cartoonist Berkeley Breathed’s “Red Ranger Came Calling: A Guaranteed True Christmas Story,” based on a story about Breathed’s father.

It’s 1939. There’s a boy everyone calls Red, due to his obsession with Buck Tweed, Red Ranger from Mars and Protector of Grateful Princesses.

Director Charles Packard sent out a note about the casting and his decision to cast a child in the lead: the aforementioned Aidan, a Littleton resident, with young Sean Wilson as understudy. “They are fully competent, talented performers and are age-appropriate. They will keep you and your kids fully empathetic and engaged in the huge conflicts of the show …”

Breathed’s original artwork inspires the sets and costumes and each character tells his own story in Book-it Theatre style Red’s parents send the 9-year-old to stay with his Aunt Vy one Christmas during the Depression — on Vashon Island, Washington, where it rains all the time.

His only buddy is Amelia, Aunt Vy’s dog.

His kind aunt tries to cheer him up by

Aidan Flaugh, 11, of Littleton, plays the lead in “Red Ranger Came Calling” at the Aurora Fox. Courtesy photo making him a Red Ranger shirt from a worn pajama top, adding to his depression.

“Who ever heard of spending Christmas in the rain?” he grumps. He goes out and meets an old man with pointed ears — an elf? He directs Red to see another old man, a nearby lighthouse keeper named Saunder Clos. Could he be Santa Claus?

Red desperately wants for Christmas a Buck Tweed Two Speed Crime Stopper Star Hopper Bicycle, but knows no one in his family has money for it.

He visits Saunder Clos and there’s a magical scene. Red’s Dream Ballet ensues.

Aurora Fox director Charlie Packard found this play and is directing it at the

Aurora Fox. He and dramaturg Brenda Cook Ritenour met with Book-it Theatre’s artistic director, Myra Platt, to learn their specific acting style, which leaves the narrative in place as each character tells the story from his or her personal viewpoint.

Aidan is the son of musicians, who taught him to sing, he said. His father, Keegan Flaugh, has played in “The Sound of Music” and “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” at Town Hall Arts Center and in “Mack and Mabel” at Vintage Theatre.

Aidan says he has performed in 10-12 shows and is impressed with how professional this production is. Rehearsals are every night but Thursday. The idea that it’s only been done in Seattle previously pleases him.

IF YOU GO “Red Ranger Came Calling” plays at the Aurora Fox, 9900 E. Colfax Ave., Aurora, from Nov. 28-Dec. 21. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $28$31 adults; $24 students, seniors; $14 children under 12. Call 303-739-1970 or visit aurorafox.org.

Also in the cast: his 9-year-old sister Caitlin as an elf.

Aidan attends Littleton Prep, where he sings in the choir He plays soccer and “kind of” plays baseball, when there’s time, plays piano and is learning guitar.

He loves to read.

Watch for his name in lights some day.

‘Anything Goes’ is holiday delight Cole Porter classic on stage in Littleton

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “Anything Goes” is a floating farce — aboard a 1930s ocean liner, bound for England.

The overture sets the mood at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center as the live band ranges through a bouncy set of familiar Cole Porter tunes, then lights go up on a 1930s New York City bar where we get acquainted with Billy Crocker (Zach Stailey), Reno Sweeney (Norrell Moore) and wealthy, loyal Yale alum Elisha Whitney (Ed Hickock).

“I Get a Kick Out of You” is Reno’s first song, and we recognized an experienced performer in Moore, who sings and dances her way through this show with warmth and skill.

The usually tipsy Whitney urges Reno to come to London with him, and Reno, who is interested in Crocker, Whitney’s less-than-efficient assistant, agrees. She appears with her four “Angels,” aka sexy backup singers.

Billy, who came to bid Whitney goodbye, discovers that a woman he loves from afar, Hope Harcourt (Allison Mueller), is coming on board with her rich British fiance, Lord Evelyn Oakley (a bright-eyed Robert Janzen) — and her ditzy mom.

Janzen’s custom of collecting American slang is an entertaining extra bit, as is his solo, “The Gypsy in Me.” Billy, thinking he might have a chance to woo Hope, stows away and soon gets acquainted with another stowaway, “Public Enemy Number 13,” Moonface Martin (the comical Mark Shonsey), who is disguised as a priest. Martin happens to have a passport for Scarface Johnson, “Public Enemy Number 1,” who somehow got left behind … and gives it to Billy.

If this sound like a farce, that’s because it is supposed to — and we continue through a delightful two hours of disguises, mistaken identities, romance and comedy, with Porter’s wonderful score, which is somewhat updated, as is the libretto, from a 2011 Broadway revival.

Particular compliments to costume designer Nikki Harrison, who found vintage dresses and accessories that add a really fine look to the scenes.

Michael Duran’s set works smoothly.

And, kudos to music director Donna Debreceni’s band, which adds joy to the season.

Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes” plays through December at Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton. Big tap numbers are a trademark. Courtesy photo Veteran director Nick Sugar, in his ninth season at Town Hall, is expert at pulling off these musicals with lots of dance numbers, so they look effortless. He called on Kelly Kates to be co-choreographer with him, and the tap numbers, a trademark feature of this show, really shine.

One can just sit and smile, feeling no stress, despite some complicated situations. This is a celebration of theater and musicals, altogether appropriate for a holiday treat.

IF YOU GO “Anything Goes” by Cole Porter, plays through Dec. 28 at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., Downtown Littleton. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays and Saturdays; 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 14.

Tickets cost $25-$44 at Town Hall’s box office, 303-794-2787, ext. 5, towhallartscenter.org.

‘Amahl’ makes visit to Highlands Ranch Opera has roots in 1951 TV broadcast

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com The touching tale of a poor shepherd boy, Amahl, who likes to spin stories for his mother was first commissioned

by NBC for a television broadcast on Dec. 24, 1951, and became an annual tradition.

Central City Opera has teamed up with James Ramsey, music minister at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church in Highlands Ranch, and Kent Thompson, director of the Denver Center Theatre Company, to produce Gian Carlo Menotti’s “Amahl and the Night Visitors” on Dec. 4, 5 and 6 at St. Luke’s. The opera will be performed in English with an orchestra.

Menotti is said to have found inspiration in Hieronymous Bosch’s famous painting, “The Adoration of the Magi,” which hangs at New York’s Metropolitan Museum, and from childhood memories of Christmas in Italy, where gifts are delivered by the Three Kings, instead of Santa Claus.

The opera, which is one hour long, is set near Bethlehem just after the birth of Christ. Amahl is a poor shepherd boy who loves to tell stories — recently about a comet that moves across the sky like a chariot on fire.

Three splendid strangers arrive at the cottage door and

IF YOU GO “Amahl and the Night Visitors” will play at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 4 and 5; 2 p.m. Dec. 6 at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, 8817 S. Broadway, Highlands Ranch.

Tickets, $25/$15, may be purchased from CentralCityOpera.org/amahl, 303292-6700 or in person at Central City Opera, 400 S. Colorado Blvd., Suite 530, Denver. Central City subscribers receive a 20 percent discount.

ask to rest awhile. The boy is fascinated by their account of a miraculous child they are seeking as they follow the star.

Amahl and his mother are inspired to give reverence to the child as well and a miracle occurs.

James Ramsey is music director for this production and treble John Healy will portray Amahl. He performed with Central City Opera in Benjamin Britten’s “Turn of the Screw” in 2012 and is a freshman at Denver School of the Arts. He sang with the Colorado Children’s Chorale for six years and recently performed as young Harvey in the Denver Gay Men’s Chorus’ “I Am Harvey Milk.”

Mezzo-soprano Valerie Nicolosi, who performs the role of Amahl’s mother, is an experienced operatic performer.

Jason Baldwin, tenor; Thomas Kittle, baritone and Antoine Hodge, bass, are Kings Kaspar, Melchior and Balthazar. Members of St. Luke’s church, orchestra and Performing Arts Academy will perform.

Shark leaves prints all over art world Lyons man gives lecture in Denver museum series

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “I like artists with an iconoclastic approach to their work — I’m drawn to the artist whose work I find unusual,” Bud Shark said in answer to an audience question as he ended a session in the Denver Art Museum’s Logan Lecture series. He said he had worked with more than 160 artists — and they tend to come back for more work.

Shark founded the nationally recognized Shark’s Ink in 1976 in Boulder after completing a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a master’s degree from the University of New Mexico, where he worked with Tamarind Institute of Art, known for its printmaking.

He said he learned about lithographs first while on a Christmas break from Madison and his course was set from then on.

Now established in Lyons (he fortunately was not washed away by last year’s flooding) he is constantly publishing technically innovative prints in an edition sized by the artists’ reputation, which Sharks Ink sells to private collectors and museums.

He has been in the business for 38 years, printing lithographs, monotypes, woodblocks and other relief prints for well-known artists from across the nation who seek to produce a different sort of image.

Shark’s Ink has an apartment at the print shop where visiting artists can stay while working with Shark. They stay 10 days to two weeks, he said — praising his wife Barbara’s cooking. They arrive with suitcases filled with a variety of items.

Shark showed slides of his work with Enrique Chagoya, a California-based, Mexico-born social satirist, who arrives with magazines and comic books as a starting point. His work has been exhibited in Denver. They were using paper made from mulberry bark, such as the Maya might have used, Shark said.

Usually, prints are two-dimensional and many techniques and various media are used, but for Red Grooms, he created a three-dimensional lithograph. In the 1980s when Grooms was very successful, Shark’s Ink printed an edition of 75, which sold for $10,000 each, he said.

The artist doesn’t pay Shark’s, he said. The studio’s income is from the sale of prints in its inventory. Prints published by Shark’s Ink are found at New York’s Museum of Modern Art; New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art; Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Conn.; and the

“Before the Fall” is a flip book of illustrations by Stacey Steers. Published in 2009, it is in the Denver Art Museum Cllection. Photos by Bud Shark Library of Congress, Hirshhorn Museum and Smithsonian Institution in Washington.

Among the artists who have worked with Shark’s Ink is Stacey Steers of Boulder, who creates award-wining handmade animated films, nationally recognized for their quality. Her film “Night Hunter,” includes 4,000 collages, focusing on early actress Lillian Gish in a haunting role.

A 2009 project with Shark, which is included in the Denver Art Museum’s collection, is a 6”x 11” flip book, “Before the Fall/After the Fall,” with 90 collage images.

It was published in a limited edition of 20.

There will be a new series of Logan Lectures in the spring. They bring in prominent and often unique artists to talk about their work. Check the museum’s website in early 2015 for dates and times, denverartmuseum.org.

Cartier show rocks museum Glamour brand gets its due in Denver

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Who knew there was a gold necklace shaped like the articulated bodies of a pair of crocodiles? It was created by Cartier for Mexican film star Maria Felix, meticulously crafted in gold with diamonds, emeralds and rubies. It sometimes was worn and, at other times, placed on a table as a sculpture. It will be among the 250 treasures that make up “Brilliant: Cartier in the 20th Century,” open at the Denver Art Museum (and not scheduled to be shown elsewhere) through March 15, 2015.

Margaret Young Sanchez, who serves as Frederick and Jan Mayer Curator of Pre-Columbian Art at the DAM, is curator for this exhibit. She has a longstanding interest in jewelry and decorative arts, having gained a familiarity with gold work in her pre-Columbian studies.

DAM director Christoph Heinrich comments, in an introduction to the beautiful catalog published to accompany “Brilliant,” that Colorado has a connection to Cartier — Evelyn Walsh McLean was a Cartier customer for decades, beginning with the 1908 choice of the Star of the East Diamond as a wedding gift from her wealthy father, who owned the Camp Bird Mine. On a return trip in 1912, she bought the legendary blue Hope Diamond. She and many others among the world’s wealthy were regular customers for the spectacularly designed and crafted jewelry, watches, clocks and smoking accessories.

The show has seven thematically organized sections that cover the years 1900 to 1975. Cartier’s Heritage Department assisted Young-Sanchez, as did international jewelry specialists, in organizing the exhibit.

Divisions begin with “Aristocracy and Aspiration,” after Louis Cartier joined the firm in 1898 and younger Cartier sons Pierre and Jacques brought their energy, through 1918.

Paris was the center of a cosmopolitan society whose members could afford the elaborate Cartier jewels and decorative objects.

“The New Outlook” includes Art Deco design 1918 to 1939.

“Foreign Fascination” covers a similar period but looks to Egypt, India, Islam and East and Southeast Asia for both design inspirations and potential customers.

“The Art of Smoking” section of the book begins with a photo of actress Marlene Dietrich in top hat and tails, smoking — a glamorous custom that required bejeweled cigarette cases, cigarette holders, cigar cutters, lighters and more.

Here, objects for men, “The Masculine

Courtesy photos View,” entered the scene, with elegant desk sets, pocket and wrist watches, cuff links, pocket knives, fountain pens, a travel bar set and elaborate decorative clocks for desks, including some that are commemorative gifts.

“The Age of Glamour” recognizes newly liberated attitude among some women, with more bright colors in the gems and daring designs worn by movie stars as well as the rich and royal customers.

“Icons of Style” is the final section, covering distinctive personalities such as Marjorie Merriweather Post, Barbara Hutton, the Duchess of Windsor, actress Maria Felix, actress Elizabeth Taylor and Princess Grace of Monaco. It includes lighter scale design, although glamorous in the extreme.

This exhibit is a coordinated look at an era that had as many individual stories as overlapping conflicts. It’s an opportunity to enter another world for a few hours.

Safety is key when sledding this winter. Metro Creative

Stay safe when sledding Prevention goes a long way to prevent injuries Metro Creative One of the more popular wintertime activities, sledding attracts scores of participants every time a new coating of snow covers sloping hills. Although sledding can be fun, it also can be risky.

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission says there are thousands of injuries each year related to sledding, snow tubing and toboggans. The majority of injuries occur to children age 14 and younger.

Young children are vulnerable to injury because they have higher centers of gravity that can cause them to lose balance more readily.

Youngsters’ coordination is not fully developed as well, which makes it difficult for them to steer and avoid obstacles.

When sledding, winter revelers big and small need to put safety first before racing down those slopes.

• Avoid collisions. Check the sledding space carefully for any obstacles, including waiting children at the end of the run. The Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital says a vast number of sledding injuries are caused by collisions. These occur when a sledder bangs into something, like a fence, tree or another person. Bone fractures are twice as likely to occur from a collision than from falling off a sled.

Making sure the coast is clear helps sledders avoid collisions.

• Dress children appropriately. Treat sledding as you would any activity that involves a moving device. That means making children wear helmets to prevent head injuries.

Head and neck injuries are common among

children six years old and younger. Helmets considerably reduce injuries when worn correctly.

• Choose the right sled. Sleds that can be steered with handles are generally safer than snow disks or flat sheets heading down a hill.

Handles can prevent falls off of the sled, as they give a child something to hold onto.

• Sled feet-first. Children should be instructed to always go down a hill feet-first.

This way, should they encounter any obstacles, their boots will hit it first and not their delicate heads and necks.

• Follow the sled safety guidelines. Read the instructions and safety guidelines for your sled. Heed the recommendation for the number of passengers on a sled at one time.

• Check the end of the slope. Do not sled on driveways, hills or slopes that end in a street, dropoff or pond.

• Only allow sledding under adult supervision. Children should have an adult with them at all times when sledding. Two adults is preferable because one can stay with a child should he or she become injured while the other goes for help.

• Use common sense. Never sled in the street or on a highway. Do not ride a sled being pulled by a motorized vehicle.

• Sled only during daylight hours. Unless sledding will occur in well-lit areas at night, it should be done during the day when visibility is best.

• Dress in layers. Sledding can be a demanding physical activity. Dress in layers that can be removed if you get too warm. Sweating while sledding increases your risk of hypothermia. Adjust clothing layers accordingly for comfort.

Sledding is an enjoyable winter activity that can provide hours of fun and exercise.

Sled safely so injuries do not ruin an otherwise festive afternoon.

Exercise doesn’t need to take holiday Workout routine necessary during hectic time of year Metro Creative Between decking the halls, visiting family and attending holiday parties, it may seem like there is little time to maintain a workout routine during the holiday season.

Several studies show that people can gain anywhere from one pound to a few pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Although that might not seem like a lot of weight, a report in the New England Journal of Medicine noted that many people never lose the weight they put on during the holidays.

Those who struggle to keep the weight off understand the importance of maintaining both a consistent fitness schedule and healthy eating habits. Here’s how to stay on course.

• Establish a regular exercise date. Schedule time for workouts, even if it means removing something else from your agenda.

• Don’t worry about the length of your workouts. If you’re accustomed to an hourlong workout but cannot fit in more than 20 minutes on some days, don’t skip the workout simply because it’s shorter. Make the most of that time by targeting larger, core muscles.

• Change your schedule. You may need to alter your daily schedule to fit in gym workouts or other exercise. Try getting up earlier and heading out prior to work or school.

• Get a trainer or a workout buddy. It’s far easier to blow off a workout when you go it alone. However, if you have a workout partner who is counting on you and vice versa, you may be less inclined to miss a workout.

• Try new activities. Workouts need not be limited to exercises in the gym. Plenty of ac-

tivities work the body and burn calories. Sledding, ice skating, skiing, and snowboarding are just a few winter sports that can help you stay in shape.

• Choose a hotel with a pool or gym. If holiday travel is on your itinerary, select a hotel that has fitness equipment. Even swimming a few laps in an indoor pool can provide a cardiovascular workout while you’re on vacation.

Remember, it only takes a two-week break from exercise to experience a fitness regression, and you will only have to work harder to get back to your current fitness level if you let exercise slide too long.

• Add short, high-intensity exercises. Burn more calories in less time with high-intensity workouts. This way you won’t need to schedule as much time for workouts but will still get the benefit of exercise.

• Transform chores into exercise opportunities. See that vacuum cleaner, rake or broom as a piece of exercise equipment. While cleaning up for holiday company, turn on the radio and get your heart pumping, too.

• Use your body weight. Even if you can’t make it to the gym, rely on your own body resistance for a thorough workout. Pushups, squats, burpees, mountain climbers, jumping rope, and lunges are some exercises that rely on body weight for effectiveness.

• Periodically exercise during the day. If you have a few free moments here and there during the day, use these opportunities to exercise. By the end of the day, you may find you squeezed in an entire workout’s worth of exercise over the course of several 10-minute intervals.

Exercise and fitness do not have to play second fiddle to other holiday activities. Make time for workouts, and you will be ahead of the game come the new year.

Changing of the guard Boykins, Simpson take over area high school programs

By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com There are two new boys basketball coaches in town that will bring a fresh outlook to Castle View and Douglas County high schools.

Patrick Simpson is the new basketball boss at Castle View and takes over a program that compiled a 29-52 record over the past four seasons.

Former Denver Nugget guard Earl Boykins is the new coach at Douglas County, a program that has gone 29-110 over the past six seasons.

“We started out with a lot of questions about enthusiasm and excitement about our program,” said Simpson. “We had 78 players try out and we kept 45 on four levels. The kids came out with great attitudes and have practiced extremely hard. It’s been great.”

On the other side of town, Boykins is undaunted by his rebuilding chores.

“Everything is going good,” he said. “The boys are doing exactly what I ask. I ask that they play hard and give a great effort. They are excited about the upcoming basketball season.”

Simpson warned Castle View fans that the Sabercats will be playing a different style this season than they have in the past.

“Almost everything is different,” he said. “We’re going to play a lot faster. Offensively we’re going to give the players a lot of freedom, really not a lot of set plays but teaching them how to play.

We’ll have some growing pains with that.

“We will play a five-out motion offense so ball movement is

paramount and shot selection, especially giving them a lot of freedom, is one of the tougher things.

Shot selection is going to be the key for us.”

There won’t be much of a change on defense for Castle View.

“Defense is not that different,” said Simpson. “We’re going to mix it up a little bit, play a little more full court because we are faster.

If we grow can grow up quick, re-

ally play together we can be pretty good.

“There are a lot of teams in the state that play fast but they do it just to shoot the quantity of shots.

We want to get up and down the court but make sure we’re not shooting shots just to shoot them.”

Boykins says there will also be some adjustments on the Douglas County hardwood.

“I wasn’t here last year,” he said.

“I think that every year should be an adjustment. I don’t think you should have to do the same thing every year. It’s an adjustment for me and it is also an adjustment for the players.”

Boykins is leaning on the leadership of seniors like Luke Bowe and Taylor Williams. Juniors Mitchell Staples, Ryan

Cook and CJ Cetta saw playing time on the varsity squad last season and also expect to factor into the Huskies’ rotation.

“I have some really good seniors,” said Boykins. “They are good leaders. Whenever you have good leaders on the team, it makes it a lot easier.

“We’re a program that is building. I like the direction that we’re going. I feel positive about the upcoming season. I look forward to it.”

Jontrell Herman, a 5-8 senior who Simpson labeled as the best guard in the league, returns with his team-leading 13.2 scoring average for Castle View. Caedon Davis, David Lucia and Bayley McDermott are among the other players who saw regular action last season for the Sabercats.

“The tempo of the game is faster this year,” said Herman. “Coach wants us to play at a faster pace.

He says play faster, and then fix the mistakes as you go faster. I like it.”

Simpson believes his team is also on the right path.

“There’s really been nothing bad,” he said. “Everything is rolling in the right direction.”

Chaparral’s only volleyball coach hangs it up T.R. Ellis spent half of her 36 years with Wolverines, won state twice

By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com After coaching her last volleyball match Nov. 8 at the state tournament, T.R. Ellis is looking forward to the challenges of retirement.

Ellis coached 36 seasons starting in Texas and continuing at Olathe, Douglas County and Chaparral. She told her Wolverine players prior to the season that the 2014 campaign would be her last as a coach after 18 years at the school. Her final match on the Chaparral sidelines was a win over Fairview in state tournament pool play.

“I know I made the right decision but I’ll be really sad,” said Ellis “I really, really like Chaparral and not just my volleyball players. I really liked the kids at Chaparral, the colleagues that I worked with and the administration.

“I will definitely miss being with all those good people. But, I’m also ready not to work so hard. I’ll be traveling with my husband and I need to improve my golf game. I have step grandchildren and my son now lives in Parker and they are trying to start their family so I’m looking forward to being an awesome grandma and just enjoy traveling with my husband.”

Ellis, 59, is the only volleyball coach in Chaparral history and has developed a formidable program that helped produced a spirited student section that attended home volleyball matches.

“I guess just getting to finish at Chaparral High School where athletics is valued not only by the students but also the administration and the players was memorable,” confessed Ellis. “We’ve had such great support and because of that we’ve had a lot of success. Chaparral has had a lot of amazing players, great parents, great coaches … all of that together has allowed us to have such a successful volleyball program.

“For me personally I just really enjoyed coaching the girls. Winning is fun but it’s just as enjoyable when the players keep coming back year after year. They helped me run my camps in the summer and they text me when they win a national championship in college. It’s just really unique to have continued relationships like that with your athletes. That’s really something special. When you had players who are now coaching and they tell you they try to always do the right thing or they tell you they want to treat their athletes like I treated them because they felt that was the right way to do it.”

Ellis’ Wolverine teams compiled a remarkable four-season run between 2009 and 2012, compiling a 108-13 record and winning back-to-back state championships in 2010 and 2011. Chaparral had a Ellis continues on Page 31

Grappling with burnout and experience Wrestling from an early age a bonus, but coaches caution against one-sport focus

By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Young wrestlers are often a source for the success of high school wrestling programs — young meaning grapplers between the ages of 5 and 14 years old.

“In order to have a very successful, a high school needs a successful junior program as the backbone of the program,” said Ponderosa coach Corey McNellis.

“When we talk about Ponderosa wrestling obviously we are talking about the high school but in the Ponderosa wrestling program the junior program is a big part of it.

“Last year the high school coaches took back over running the junior program. … In that eight-year state championship run we had that’s what we had in place was the high school coaches running the junior program so the wrestlers knew the expectations, they knew the techniques we wanted from them and they were prepared as well for the mental piece. I think a junior program is huge.”

Ponderosa senior Tanner Olson, a state qualifier last season, grew up in the Mustangs youth program.

“I started when I was in third grade and left in eighth grade,” said Olson. “I learned a lot of techniques. I was constantly prac-

ticing and learned about the brotherhood of the wrestling team and we all kind of got affected by that.

“It was a big impact on my life because you learn lots of new moves and the mentality of becoming a wrestler. You get overwhelmed if you jump right into it. The junior program is a place to start and it builds you up to where you want to be.”

Douglas County coach Gary Hartman wrestled in Cherry Creek’s Little Bruins program before competing for the Bruins in high school.

“Pretty much every team in our league (Continental) has a youth program,” Hartman said. “If you don’t you’re missing out. We’re trying to be one program from youth, through middle school to us.

“Even more than just in our program, junior programs build wrestling as a sport.

It absolutely affects our program. We don’t have to teach as much what we want them to do. Most of the team we have right now has gone through that program. The wrestlers have the fundamentals we want them to have. We give them a couple moves here and there that we want them to know. For the most part they know our eight to 10 core moves. They have them down to a tee.”

Cherry Creek coach Mike Luhring notices that wrestlers coming from the Little Bruins program are ready to compete.

“It makes the contact as they are making the transition from middle school to high school much easier.” Luhring said.

“My staff and I are both the high school coaches and the youth coaches. So the

“We keep things a little simpler for the little guys. It’s still basically the same technique that the guys that are qualifying for state year in and year out. They are using the same stuff. I would say a good third of the team has ties to the Little Bruin program.”

There is some debate on whether starting youngsters to wrestle too early can burn them out.

“As long as they enjoy the sport and don’t move away we usually retain them,” McNellis said.

“It’s totally up to the wrestler on how much they do,” added Hartman. “Those

kids that wrestle from (age) 4 or 5 competitively, we see a little burnout and we have to reel them back in.”

Luhring likes to see his wrestlers get away from wrestling for a while.

“I really encourage the guys to do multiple sports even in high school,” he said. ”I have some of my more competitive wrestlers on the varsity squad that are two-sport (athletes) and I have a threesport athlete on the varsity squad.

“We want them excited about the upcoming wrestling season, we don’t want them dreading it and feeling like `oh here we go again.’ If they get away from the mat a little while then the absence of it breaks the monotony and hopefully they have a better mind state and they are physically ready to get back at it.”

56-match winning streak that was snapped in September 2012.

“It was memorable,” said Ellis. “We had amazing success with the best player (Nicole Dalton) in the state two years in a row but along with that we also had players that really understood that it took everybody to win a volleyball game, it wasn’t just one person. It was special that the one person was appreciative of everybody on the team.

“We were just so fortunate because the superstars we had were at the same time very humble, very gracious and thankful to be blessed with their talent. They were great role models for all the athletes at the school that you can be the best in the state but act like this. That carried over into my program and all the programs at Chaparral. A lot of people wanted to be an athlete at Chaparral because they saw how valued they were and also how much fun it was for everybody.”

Before Ellis took over at Chaparral she coached for seven seasons at Douglas County “I came to Douglas County in 1990,” recalled Ellis. “We had some success down there as well. Don McCall was the athletic director at the time and he has been associated with Douglas County

forever. Don hired me to coach. … We won district championships there, went to regional tournaments a couple times but never made it to state.

“When I went to Douglas County they hadn’t won very many volleyball games but by the time I left we were winning most all of them. This year of course they were super successful.

Valerie Elliott did a great job with that team. They had some amazing talent.”

Ellis coached eight years at Olathe and couldn’t help but walk around with a little more swagger earlier this season.

“I started at Olathe High School,” she said. “Earlier this year CHSAANow. com had the top 10 rankings come out and they talked about Chaparral breaking into the top 10 and it also said Douglas County had broken into the top 10 and on down it talked about 3A and Olathe breaking into the top 10.

That was so cool that all three schools that I coached at were ranked in the top 10.”

Ellis, a Castle Pines resident, may not take a gold watch into retirement but she will carry a lot of admiration with her.

“She was one of the most respected coaches in all of Colorado,” said Ponderosa coach Rob Graham. “She’s the only coach that has been at Chaparral. She’s been a mentor, a friend and a confidant to many of the coaches in Colorado.”

SPORTS ROUNDUP All-state cross country Junior Ben Butler of SkyView Academy was named the Class 3A runner of the year in the 2014 all-state boys cross country teams presented by CHSAANow.com, ColoradoPreps and MaxPreps. Valor Christian senior Lauren Ogg was a first-team selection on the girls Class 4A team.

State softball teams named Freshman pitcher Alexandria Kilponen and coach Dave Atencio of Valor Christian gained top honors in the Class 4A all-state softball team announced by CHSSANow. com, ColoradoPreps and MaxPreps. Kilponen was named player of the Year and Atencio coach of the year for helping the Eagles winning the state title.

Valor senior centerfielder Kendall Ohman and Ponderosa senior pitcher Aly Power were also first-team Class 4A picks.

Seniors Shelby Mann and Makenna Roth

of Valor made the second team.

Castle View pitcher Savannah Hunter, Rock Canyon senior shortstop Hannah Clark and senior Douglas County third baseman/catcher Ashley Kim were named to Class 5A first team. Second-team selections included Rock Canyon sophomore catcher Sloane Stewartson and Douglas County junior infielder Clara Larson.

Manhart unanimous first-teamer Former ThunderRidge standout Cole Manhart, a 6-foot-6, 310 pound senior left guard on the Nebraska Kearney football team, was a unanimous selection for the second straight year on the All-Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association first team all-league team. Manhart, a team cocaptain for the Lopers — who were 3-8 this season — is considered one of the top pro prospects among non-Division I athletes.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF NOV 24, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) While it seems that chaos is taking over, you get everything back to normal, even if it means being more than a little assertive with some people. Expect to hear more job-related news soon.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Expect to be able to move ahead with your workplace plans now that you have a good idea of what you might have to face. You also can anticipate a welcome change on the home front.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A quieter period settles in, giving you a chance to catch your breath, as well as allowing for more time to handle some important family matters. The arts dominate this weekend. Enjoy them.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) The frustrations of last week have pretty much played themselves out. You should find things going more smoothly, especially with those all-important personal matters.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Once again, you find a creative way to resolve a pesky problem in short order.

However, a matter involving a possible breach of confidence might need a bit more time to check out.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Reuniting with an old friend could lead to the sharing of some great new experiences. But be careful you don’t find yourself once again being super-critical or overly judgmental.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You should be seeing some positive results following your move toward repairing that unraveling relationship. There might be some setbacks, but staying with it ultimately pays off.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Encouraging a friendlier environment in the home could go a long way to help dissipate anger and resolve problems, especially those affecting children. It won’t be easy, but you can do it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A recent act of kindness is beginning to show some unexpected (but very welcome) results. On another note, expect to hear more about a possible move to another locale.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) The good news is that the sure-footed Goat can rely on his or her skill to get around obstacles in the workplace. The notso-good news is that new impediments could turn up later.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A change of pace is welcome but also confusing. Before you make decisions one way or another, be sure you know precisely what it is you’re being asked to do.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Don’t fret if you don’t get the gratitude you think you’re owed for doing a nice thing for someone. There might be a good reason for that. In any event, what’s important is that you did it.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of making the sort of wise decisions that ultimately shed new light on dark situations. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
