IN SEARCH OF THE GREAT PUMPKIN

Two school board members cite late rollout, political bias among issues with course

Effort promotes safe driving for teens Parent involvement, progressive skills emphasized

By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com While Oct. 19-25 is national Teen Driver Safety Week, experts say every week should be dedicated to making better drivers out of young people.

“We’re working with teen drivers all the time,” said Ben Baron, owner of DriveSafe Driving School, which has several locations across the Denver metro area, including one in Highlands Ranch. “All 52 weeks are Teen Driver Safety Week.”

A Colorado Department of Transportation news release states that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teenagers. In 2012, 859 teen drivers died across the nation in crashes.

For the second year in a row, CDOT is teaming up with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to promote the “5 to Drive” campaign during Teen Driver Safety Week.

Only about 25 percent of parents have serious talks with their children about safe driving, the CDOT news release states. The “5 to Drive” effort is designed to help parents talk to their teens about the issue.

“Teens might be gaining some independence (but) they still need rules and restrictions, and believe it or not, parents,” said Darrell Lingk, director of the Office of Transportation Safety at CDOT. “They’ll listen to you.”

DriveSafe schools also emphasize the importance for parents to be involved with their teen’s driving education.

“It’s about developing a skill,” Baron said.

“It’s important for parents not to forget that for a new driver, driving is a new skill.”

The “5 to Drive” campaign addresses the “five most dangerous and deadly behaviors for teen drivers,” the CDOT release states.

There are five important rules addressing these behaviors: • No drinking and driving.

• Wear you seat belt.

• No texting or talking on the cell phone while driving.

• Don’t speed.

• No more than one passenger at a time.

Photo by Christy Steadman Following these rules while driving is “good advice for all drivers, not just teens,” Baron said, with the exception of not having more than one passenger at a time for experienced, adult drivers.

“Ultimately, it’s distracted driving that causes accidents,” he said.

Distracted driving is not limited to what is listed in the “5 to Drive” campaign, Baron said, and can include everything from changing the radio station to putting on make-up in the car.

As well as physical distractions, there are mental distractions a person can encounter while driving, Baron said. Things a person thinks about — something negative that happened at school or work, or being extremely happy about something — are mental distractions.

“Most adults have been driving for so long that they can factor that in,” Baron said, but the “ups and downs” that teens experience on a daily basis can create a lot of distractions.

The CDOT news release states that “texting and driving has become a national epidemic, and teens are the worst offenders.”

It’s not only unsafe, but in Colorado, all cell phone use — talking, texting, surfing the web — is illegal for those under 18 years old while driving. Texting behind the wheel is also against the law for adults, who are allowed to

talk and drive.

According to distraction.gov, texting involves manual, visual and cognitive distraction simultaneously. A person’s eyes, on average, are taken off the road for about five seconds while texting.

“At 55 mph, that’s like driving the length of an entire football field, blindfolded,” the website states.

DriveSafe schools focus on starting slow — most students begin their driving education in the classroom, Baron said — and building skills progressively.

“You can learn to pass a test, but that (alone) doesn’t make you a safe driver,” Baron said. “It just means you know the rules.”

In urban areas, a teenager must have six hours driving experience with an instructor before they can earn their driver’s license, Baron said.

At DriveSafe, students receive three twohour drives, said DriveSafe Behind the Wheel instructor Kevin Knight. The drives are done on different routes and areas.

Students start off by practicing in a parking lot, emphasizing the importance of checking mirrors and using seat belts. Then, students will get some highway or busy street practice and experience driving downtown on oneDriving continues on Page 16

Two Douglas County School Board members have expressed public concern about the new Advanced Placement U.S. History course that sparked a firestorm in Jefferson County. Jim Geddes and Judi Reynolds said their interest is not about promoting or quashing a particular viewpoint, but giving students a balanced perspective on the past.

Geddes wants to provide a balanced political view he said the new course is lacking. He wants to not only request the College Board revise the course, but provide students with an alternative accredited U.S. History class. Geddes “I believe the course is heavily flawed,” Geddes said. “When I read the tests, I see a leftist liberal indoctrination; I don’t approve of that. We must have a responsible academia, particularly when it comes to these kinds of courses.

“Our purpose is not to tell Reynolds young people what to think about what happened. It’s to lay out the facts and tell them maybe various people’s views about what happened in a balanced fashion. And that course doesn’t do that; I’m highly concerned about that.”

Geddes said he is “not interested in jetting up the flames that have occurred in JeffCo,” and Reynolds said she has no interest in removing or immediately altering the course.

But both are frank about their concerns.

Geddes brought some of his up during an Oct. 7 board of education work session.

Reynolds has blogged about hers. No one else on the all-Republican Douglas County School Board has yet voiced public opinion on the new AP U.S. History course.

Reynolds said her main concern is that the dramatically revised course was released too late for school officials to review, or even for teachers to prepare for teaching it. Political bias is a secondary issue, she said.

“It was rolled out in a manner that didn’t give anyone time to review it, from state and local (boards) to teachers,” she said. “It’s part of our job to keep an eye on these things.”

The College Board’s website said AP U.S. History teachers felt the original course required a breathless race through American history. The four-year redesign provides, “an in-depth examination of American founding documents, the Constitution, and important leaders and citizens from American history,” according to the website, and encourages students to write to demonstrate their understanding.

The course framework expanded from five to more than 80 pages, a change Reynolds said is “significant” and merited local review.

“I think we need to watch it and see how it plays out for the course of this year,” she said.

“I don’t know if there’s anything we can do locally at this point in the school year.”

Geddes suggests a more aggressive plan of action.

“One is that we tell the College Board in a nice but very firm way we need to see it changed,” he said.

If the course remains in its current form, “I’d like to see us invite other universities to AP History continues on Page 13

October 23, 2014

It’s an old story ... in every single item The small, faded railway label on the battered 1900s trunk resting on the worn floor of the antiques store bears the name of its once-upon-a-time owner: “For H.C. Stillman,” it says. “Pueblo.

Value — 100.”

Its brass hinges are tarnished, its leather straps stiff from age, its oakand-canvas sides scuffed from wear.

Its story, too, is old, so forgotten it was a dying whisper — until Bill and Cindy Pierce uncovered the vintage piece in an acquaintance’s storage unit.

“He was a music teacher at Central High in Pueblo in the ‘30s,” Cindy says of the name on the label. In those days, “they didn’t allow girls in orchestra or band, so he created an all-girls marching band — which I thought was totally cool.”

It is. Totally cool.

Just imagine H.C. Stillman’s courage in defying society’s notions, the difference he made for a group of musicplaying young girls, the path he paved for those who came after.

“There’s a story inside the trunk,” Cindy says, the kind that connects you with history. “We’re going to look him up and see what we can find.”

I happened to be browsing recently in Olde Time Antiques, one of several such stores on Pueblo’s historic Union Avenue, when Cindy and Bill — excited about their discovery — brought in the trunk. They rent space in the store to sell old treasures they find.

The trunk’s label indicated its destination back to Pueblo on a train in June 1930, possibly, Cindy thought, from a marching band competition.

As I listened, and looked around — at the dainty porcelain teacups that once graced a familiar table, the lace wedding

dress someone once wore for love, a deco cabinet that once stood in a family living room — the air suddenly seemed crowded by stories waiting to be heard, testaments to fragments of long-agos buried by the passage of time and the hurry of life.

That glimpse into the past is what motivates antiquarians such as Cindy and Bill, and Gary Price, who helps man the counter, and Johnny Baayen, who owns the store.

“I’m just fascinated by old things and disappointed by things that are new and wear out quickly,” Gary says. His gaze sweeps around the store. “Some of this stuff is over 100 years old. … We’ve become such a disposable society. I cherish things that last this long.”

Cindy does, too. She loves old things so much she rarely buys new.

Her Pyrex dishes and cooking utensils date back to the 1930s. She uses oldstyle watering cans in her garden.

“I give them another life,” she says.

Cindy and Bill have been collecting old things for at least 35 years from estate and garage sales and auctions.

Bill likes to search for car parts and beer signs, Cindy for her dishes and utensils.

Sometimes, they find unique treasures, such as the trunk, or the 100-year-old saddle, also sitting in the

store.

“It’s pretty darn worn,” Cindy says.

“But 100 years ago, you could see a guy riding around in that saddle. It makes you think … I just find it all fascinating.”

The glimpse back in time can even hook some of today’s younger generations.

Cindy recounts a conversation she overheard as a boy looked at a typewriter from the 1800s. “He asked his dad, `What is that?’ He had never seen a typewriter.”

Or a rotary phone.

Or cameras from the 1920s and ‘30s.

“They just love them,” Cindy says of young people, with a laugh. “They’ve never seen anything like that. They pick up a camera and try to figure out how the picture was taken … and they’re just kind of in awe.”

Most of the stories inside Olde Time Antiques are unknown, the objects brought in by dealers who simply aren’t familiar with their origins, proprietor Baayen says.

“You can only imagine the history if you were only able to follow it back in time …”

A walk among the thousands of pieces waiting for new life allows you to do just that: A 1930s metal toy squirt gun that probably still works.

A worn, chocolate-brown R.T. Frazier saddle made by the famed Pueblo saddlery from the turn of the 20th century.

Lawyers’ filing cabinets, nearly 100 years old.

A cream-colored 1946 Belmont radio.

The tag says it works.

A vintage 50mm camera case.

A wooden sewing machine table

from the late 1800s.

A display case of knives that includes a pen knife, a Turkish Mauser bayonet and a Sudanese arm dagger.

Even the two Pachinko machines, the 1960s Japanese-made pinball-type machines used where gambling was prohibited, and which in the end prove age is in the perception of the beholder.

“I got those three, four weeks ago,” Baayen says. “I’m amazed at how many people come in and say how they played them.”

Objects from the 1970s are particularly popular at the moment, he notes.

“In my terms, that’s not really old,” Baayen says. But “young people, they love it — they say it’s so cool and it’s old.”

H.C. Stillman’s trunk sold in just a few days for $125.

The Pierces were unable to uncover any more of his story.

But the sale — to an owner who appreciated the history — felt good.

“It’s nice we can pass the story on,” Bill says, “keep the story alive.”

The story in the trunk reminded me history is a living, breathing entity that accompanies us wherever we may be.

And whether they are from yesterdays long ago or just being created today, the stories are ours.

Let’s try not to lose them.

Sheriffs show off training facility Highlands Ranch site serves 64 agencies across metro area

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com With news about controversial police shootings coming from around the country lately, local authorities took time recently to showcase the Highlands Ranch Law Enforcement Training Facility.

“There’s been big news in law enforcement lately,” Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock told a group of reporters on Oct. 9 during a tour of the facility. “We wanted people to see how they are trained here. It’s important that the community knows that when Westminster does something, they most likely got their training right here.”

Former Douglas County Sheriff Steve Zotos is the HRLETF’s executive director and played a big part in creating it back in 1983.

“In the 20 years I was sheriff, this is one of the things that I’m extremely proud of that happened under my watch,” he said.

At the time, deputies practiced shooting at the fairgrounds, Spurlock remembers, with an apartment building as a backdrop.

“It was crazy,” he said. “We all thought, ‘This doesn’t even seem safe.’”

When Mission Viejo, which developed Highlands Ranch, offered a 99-year lease for $1 on 116 acres, the sheriffs in both Douglas and Arapahoe counties jumped at the chance to combine forces and build a stateof-the-art training facility on land that once was the Arapahoe Hunt Club.

“We started out with a caboose that

LEFT: Colorado Community Media reporter Jennifer Smith passes a simulator test Oct. 9 at the Highlands Ranch Law Enforcement Training Facility. While providing backup to another officer during a traffic stop, this man emerged from the trunk of a vehicle with a gun and Smith shot him dead. RIGHT: Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Senior Deputy Mike Balding fires at a target during a S.W.A.T. demonstration Oct. 9 at one of the numerous outdoor shooting ranges at the facility. Photos by Ryan Boldrey someone took from Burlington Northern,” recalls Spurlock. “That was our hut that we were in.”

It’s come a long way. Mission Viejo eventually deeded the land to the facility, and now it’s a sprawling 160 acres with a gun range, live-round shooting house, 300-yard sniper range, classrooms, a gym, running trails and more. There’s even a field of buried dead pigs, studied by researchers to learn

about the effects of decomposition.

“This thing is the gem of law enforcement,” said Spurlock. “If you want to know how our cops are going to act, get ahold of the training manual. They learn ethics, about relationships with the community, decision-making and skills.”

Reporters got a taste of the training, starting with virtual-reality versions of situations police often find themselves in — traffic

stop, man with a knife, domestic violence.

Even knowing it’s fake, it’s stressful.

In the domestic-violence call, for instance, the “officer” enters a home, gun drawn, upon hearing screaming and yelling.

As he approaches the living room, he realizes the husband has a gun in his lap. The bad guy looks at the cop for a split second,

then begins to raise his rifle.

“It’s important that the officers know that when they say a split second, it really is a split second,” said Arapahoe County Sheriff Dave Walcher. “Safety is an important thing, but also realism is an important thing.”

Douglas County Deputy Jack Newton, an instructor at the facility, said it’s important to debrief officers after they finish a virtual scene so they can learn from any mistakes.

“We never want them to leave here as a loser,” said Newton.

One of the things Zotos is most proud of is the live-fire house, which is one of just a few in the country, he said. Officers use soft ammunition that breaks up upon contact to minimize ricochets, but it is still lethal.

“The instructors can give orders while watching from above,” said Walcher. “It’s as real as we can make it, with the sights and sounds they might actually encounter.”

A highlight of the tour was the “big bang” demonstration of devices often used for crowd control, like the 175-decibel flash bangs. ACSO Deputy Charles Kelly explained they have the effect of “bleaching” the retinal pigment in people’s eyes and throwing them off balance by disrupting the inner ear. By way of comparison, fireworks are only about 145 decibels.

“A lot of people are motivated, and this stuff is meant to unmotivate them,” said Kelly.

Plans for the future include expanding the sniper range from 300 to 600 yards, and starting a police academy.

“The bottom line is we’re trying to save lives, we’re not out trying to harm people,” said Walcher.

Escaped prisoner caught in Boulder Travis Sandlin escaped from Jeffco jail Oct. 5, re-arrested 11 days later Staff report Travis Sandlin, a registered sex offender who escaped from the Jefferson County Jail Oct. 5, was apprehended in Boulder County outside of a vacant home.

According to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, Sandlin, 32, was arrested about 8:45 a.m. on the 3900 block of Sunshine Canyon Drive in Boulder. The

house where he was hiding is for sale and its owners were away, officials said.

A tactical unit was moments away from swooping in to arrest Sandlin when he saw officers and tried to flee. He was trapped by police at the bottom of a steep embankment.

Sandlin had stolen cars and credit cards in Douglas County while on the run, authorities say.

The arrest was a joint Sandlin effort with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and many other agencies around the metro area.

‘Two steps back’ gives room for running start You know the saying, “One step forward and two steps back,” right? And sometimes it may even be, “One step forward and three or four steps back.”

Many of us have endeavored to improve our life in some capacity. You too may have experienced this forward-then-backward type of result. People trying to lose weight may become very energized about their diet and exercise plan, and they just might maintain a consistent routine for the first few days or maybe even the first week. And then as life happens, workloads increase, and personal issues surface, we wind up finding every excuse to drop our consistent behaviors, exercise routines and diet commitments and end up even further back then when we first began. Sound familiar?

It’s like the sales professional who has the responsibility for consistently generating new business by selling to new customers.

Sometimes as sales people we get fired up about the potential to earn more money through acquiring new customers. So we invest the time necessary to build up our business. We make calls, attend networking events, visit prospects, and ask for referrals.

And we do this consistently for a brief period of time and experience either the near-term benefits of our behaviors or quickly get frustrated with rejection and therefore revert to doing “busy work” instead of productive sales work. And one step forward and two

steps back in the world of selling is a recipe for disaster, or at the least, a loss or reduction of income.

My experience with business owners and managers is that many cycle through the same lack of consistent behaviors or modeling of consistent leadership characteristics.

For a week or maybe for a month or two the focus is on the showroom being immaculate, positive feedback is shared, coaching in areas that need development takes place, and we inspect what we expect. The danger in the one step forward and two steps back for business owners and managers is that when we fall two steps back, we take our employees with us. And once that happens we have to work much harder to get the team back on track.

And the same things happen in our personal relationships too, right? Today we give hugs, love on each other, speak kindly, and show gratitude and appreciation. Maybe we

even do this for a few days or weeks. Then the flowers stop coming, the notes don’t get written, the hugs are fewer and farther between, car doors stop being opened, and hand-holding and gentle and subtle touches seem to disappear. So the one step forward and three or four steps back leads to a breakdown in our relationships, and repairing the damage and the resentment could take months or even years to fix.

So the answer isn’t perfection. We will never be perfect in every single thing that we do. The answer is consistency and understanding that we are the ones who can control the consistency of our behaviors that will lead us to the results that we truly desire in every aspect of our lives. Forget perfection, strive for excellence and make the commitment to consistency, and then watch as you take yourself and your family or your team five steps forward.

How would a commitment to consistency change or shape your life or business?

I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we get past the one step forward and two steps back roadblocks of life, we will consistently have and enjoy a better than good week.

Time has come to talk about time Time waits for no one, unless you have a humdinger of a hangover, and then it goes on and on. It stands still.

At other times, time wears winged sandals, like that flower delivery guy. Actually his name is Mercury Man. Mercury Man has some Denver in him.

According to Wikipedia, “On Aug. 18, 1910, 15 American florists led by John Valentine, a Denver lawyer and floral company owner, agreed to serve each other’s out-of-town customers by exchanging orders via telegraph, and they called their organization the Florists’ Telegraph Delivery (FTD).”

I don’t know which one of them came up with the idea of representing the company with the god Mercury, but it was ingenious. It made an impression on me long before I ever started to order flowers for anyone.

Maybe it was because I ran track, and he looked like he might have been a track star too. I set a school record that will never be broken. It’s not that impressive: They just don’t run the race (220) anymore.

We used to compare our times after meets, and if we improved, we improved by splits of seconds.

And then we would go to an American history class, and it seemed like it took an hour for 10 minutes to go by.

I ran out of time on an algebra test, and guessed the answers, and I was right. But I was penalized for not showing my work. I still don’t know how I did it.

If one train leaves the station at 8 o’clock going 50 mph and another train leaves the station without enough dinner rolls for everyone, what time would a third train have to leave the station with rolls for everyone on the second train?

Time is very important in track, unless you are a pole vaulter.

My favorite pole vaulter — ever — is a Texas high school girl named Charlotte Brown.

She finished fourth in the state meet this year, and cleared 11 feet. I trip over the dog.

Charlotte depends upon an electronic signal with a beeper to tell her when it’s time to jump. Charlotte is blind. I dare you to try to get through the YouTube about her without getting choked up.

I like baseball. There are innings, not quarters and halves. An inning might last four or five minutes, or 45 minutes.

The time it takes to play an entire baseball season is imposing. The season starts in April, and they are still playing in November.

Conceivably, you could conceive a baby on Opening Day, and the kid would be around for the seventh game of the World Series.

We all get two years: One to the left of the dash, and one to the right of the dash. My father’s years were 1919-2008. I will never forget the number to the right of his dash. My father lived a long time.

It takes a couple of hours to write a column. Then I leave it alone, sometimes overnight, and sometimes for a few days. I read it, reread it, revise it, and sometimes I delete it.

Directors play around with time all of the time with devices like flashbacks and flash forwards.

Some people are habitually — even addictively — late. I am always early.

My dog is aging differently than I am, and I don’t like it.

If your son is 10, he’s a kid. If your dog is 10, his clock is ticking.

Jennifer said she would be here between 6 and 6:30 two Fridays ago. We had an 8:33 a.m. flight to Los Angeles the next day. The game between UCLA and Oregon in the Rose Bowl — we were there — started at 12:30 p.m.

I don’t think college football is a waste of time. Besides, as Bertrand Russell said, “The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.”

October 23, 2014

Gay-marriage issue goes Safety is school from hope to ho-hum district’s top priority Homer Simpson didn’t accept a gay man until one saved his life.

In the 1997 “Simpsons” episode, “Homer’s Phobia,” Homer and his family became friends with a man named John, who ran a novelty store at the mall.

Homer liked John until he found out he was gay. And then he really didn’t like John because he thought Bart was becoming gay from spending so much time with him.

In the end, John saved Homer and Bart from being attacked by a pack of reindeer at “Santa’s Village” (I’m not going to get into it. Just download the episode).

Homer then thanked John and embraced him for who he was, which led John to quip: “Homer, I won your respect, and all I had to do was save your life. Now, if every gay man could just do the same, you’d be set.”

Growing up gay, I knew plenty of Homers — decent, well-meaning people who just weren’t yet equipped to accept homosexuality.

Being gay, I accepted that non-acceptance as my reality. That didn’t bother me too much because I’ve never “come across” as being gay. I played baseball and listened to the Grateful Dead and never really had to worry about getting bullied like so many gay kids growing up.

Still, I resigned myself to the fact that my sexuality meant that I would forever live outside the societal norm.

I was OK with that. I mean, what was the alternative? Being straight? Who in the heck wants that?

I came out of the closet when I was 18, in 1995. At that time, I didn’t care about civil unions or “Don’t ask, don’t tell” military policy or anything. All I cared about then was my friends not rejecting me for who I was.

So at that time, even if Christopher Lloyd’s “Doc Brown” character had traveled from the future in his DeLorean to tell me that in 2014 gays would be getting married in Colorado, I would have written Universal Pictures and told them that the movie series had just jumped a big gay shark — or more like a dolphin, because that’s gayer than a shark.

Never, ever, ever did I ever imagine during my years of struggles with sexual identity in the 1990s that gay marriage would be a reality.

But it really is. Cue Sally Fields: “You like me, you really like me!”

The reason I’m writing this column is because, as a gay political reporter, I am able to share a unique perspective on this issue.

To be honest, I struggled over my decision to write this column because I value journalism ethics — yes, reporters really do care about that stuff.

As a legislative reporter, I covered the debate over civil-unions legislation that became law last year. The committee hearings were long and emotional. And lawmakers from both sides of the aisle gave impassioned speeches, either in support or in opposition.

I thought of writing a column during that debate, but I didn’t think it would be appropriate to opine while the bill was being run.

I am comfortable in writing this column today because I would find it hard to believe that any conservatives at the Capitol would question my sincerity in listening to

their positions and reporting on them objectively, on this or any other issue.

Plus, I’m gay. That’s who I am and I can’t — and never have wanted to — change that. Should a black reporter step aside from covering a story involving the shooting of a black kid by a white cop? No. That’s ridiculous.

Reporters can’t just ignore our life experiences when covering a story — but it is our responsibility to cover those issues objectively.

And even though the gay marriage question is now settled in Colorado, there will still be a legitimate debate over whether the law can allow for exceptions for those with religious objections to same-sex nuptials — because while marriage matters to a lot of gay couples, religious convictions matter just as much to other folks.

And, selfishly, this issue really doesn’t impact me. I really have no intention of ever — EVER — getting married. Nowadays, gays get to have kids and can marry — why in the world would I want any of those things?!? Not having to deal with the heavy things that straight people have to deal with were the highlights of being gay!

What’s the point of being gay anymore?

Thank you very much, Supreme Court and your lousy, stupid equality.

But, seriously, folks. This issue matters to a heck of a lot people out there.

State House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, who is gay and who co-sponsored the civil-unions legislation, told me recently that when he was younger, he never would have imagined marriage equality becoming a reality so early in his life. Ferrandino and I are the same age, 37.

“I thought we’d see a movement, but like, before I pass away, not before my daughter goes to school,” he said.

State Rep. Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City, who is 29 and also gay, said when he was younger he thought gay marriage would only be a reality in the “liberal up-eastern states.”

“It is pretty surprising and exciting that marriage equality is coming to states where you didn’t think it would be a reality,” he said.

No matter how much marriage equality becomes an even greater reality across the nation, there will always be Homer Simpsons around — many of whom are good, lovable people who just don’t know how to embrace homosexuality.

And that’s OK. But it’s pretty clear that politicians won’t be fighting about this issue as ferociously as they had in previous years.

“It will be nice to fight about other things instead of my relationship with my husband,” Ferrandino said.

Deep down, most of us want to know that we, in some way, made a difference in this world – that we mattered to someone, and that after we die, we will be fondly remembered by those who knew and cared for us.

In the Douglas County School District, safety is our number one priority. As both a parent and a member of the board of education, I want our schools to be as safe as possible.

Unfortunately, there are far too many horrific examples of school violence across the nation. These serve as a reminder that on the topic of safety, we must remain vigilant.

The DCSD Board of Education voted unanimously to approve a new, three-year strategic plan that names safety as one of our four priorities — along with choice, world-class education, and system performance. For those of us concerned about safety, this means that DCSD will continuously review, implement, and refine both the physical safety of our facilities and the psychological safety of our students and staff.

To date, DCSD has created a scaffolding approach to the safety of our school buildings, creating multiple layers of protections. For instance, last year, in addition to making building safety improvements, the district launched several innovative programs that significantly increased the presence of law enforcement in our schools.

On the physical safety side, police officers have access to district Wi-Fi and routinely file their reports from our school parking lots. Officers are also invited and often have lunch with our students, who look forward to seeing their special friends.

The innovative DCSD School Marshall Program has provided a law enforcement presence at all of our elementary schools. At the secondary level, armed School Resource Officers maintain an on-site presence that allows for quick response to any situation.

DCSD has also launched a psychological safety initiative that seeks to improve wellness and builds a foundation for prevention, intervention, mental health, security and crisis preparedness.

Finally, I want to recognize the incredible partnerships that make the DCSD plan a model for the nation. I know our partners in law enforcement and mental health play a vital role in keeping our students and schools safe. We can’t thank them enough.

I recognize we can always do more to protect our children. As we anticipate improved funding, I hope to see us provide an even greater law enforcement presence in every DCSD school.

James Geddes is a director with the Douglas County School District Board of Education.

Karl Pierson’s temper flared publicly two days before he attacked Arapahoe High School with a gun, a machete and explosives.

Arapahoe High teacher Vicki Lombardi told investigators the following account of the incident, as presented in a summary of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office’s report, released Oct. 10.

“On Wednesday, December 11, 2013, Karl got locked out of Vicki’s classroom. By the time someone opened the door for Karl, he was yelling and pounding on the door. Karl was very angry over the incident and Vicki asked him to leave the classroom. Vicki called for assistance from administration and Kevin (assistant principal Kevin Kolasa) responded.

Vicki told Kevin that Karl scared her. Kevin told Vicki he was sending Karl home for the rest of the day and she was fine with that.

Vicki did not think that Karl’s behavior warranted a suspension.”

By then, Pierson — who fatally shot student Claire Davis and killed himself on Dec. 13, 2013 — was no stranger to the Arapahoe High administration and staff.

The classroom incident came roughly three months after Pierson, an 18-year-old Highlands Ranch resident, had threatened to kill speech and debate coach Tracy Murphy.

Kolasa, now the assistant principal at Euclid Middle School in Littleton, found himself dealing with Pierson then as well.

During an interview with investigators after the shooting, Kolasa said he had dealt with Pierson for the last two years. He said Pierson was suspended once and sent home on other occasions.

September 2013 is given much attention in the investigation’s summary. After hearing of the death threat, Murphy — who would find himself fleeing from a shotgun-armed Pierson on Dec. 13 — spoke first to Principal Natalie Pramenko. She referred Murphy to

Kolasa, the report states.

The following are excerpts from Kolasa’s interview with investigators.

“In September 2013, Kevin (Kolasa) was pulled aside by (teacher) Mark Loptein and Tracy Murphy. Mark told Kevin he heard Karl (Pierson) yelling that he was going to ‘kill that guy.’ Mark believed Karl was talking about Tracy. Kevin called (Pierson’s mother) Barbara who advised that Karl was upset about Tracy demoting him (from his captainship on the debate team). Barbara verified Karl had said he was going to kill Tracy. Barbara held Karl out of school for the rest of the week, which was three days. Prior to returning to school, a threat assessment was done on Karl by (school psychologist Esther Song).

“After the threat assessment was completed, there was a meeting with Karl, his parents, Esther and Kevin. Esther advised that it was safe for Karl to come back to school. Tracy spoke with Kevin about his concerns and the fear for his safety. Kevin felt that Tracy seemed less concerned about the threat as time went on. Kevin took the threat against Tracy seriously. Tracy did tell Kevin that he thought about resigning. Kevin advised ACSO Deputy James Englert of the threat made toward Tracy by Karl.

“After the re-entry meeting, Kevin decided that Karl could be part of the speech and debate team by going to the tournaments but he could not go to the practices. Kevin told Karl that the decision was his and not Tracy’s.”

Investigators found no criminal liability on the part of the school district. Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Scott Murphy has declined to comment on specifics regarding Arapahoe High personnel’s handling of Pierson.

In an Oct. 10 letter to LPS families and staff, Scott Murphy said, “Some of the report’s detail was startling but confirmed the direction the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education has been taking, both before and after those events. …We recognize that prevention is the key to reducing the risk of violence in our schools.”

In early October, the school board approved spending $810,000 for an in-house mental-health clinic and $200,000 for additional school resource officers.

Group brainstorms school solutions Meeting focuses on better district accountability

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Community members, many of whom said they feel inspired by the recent outcry against Jefferson County School Board actions, met Oct. 14 to talk about increasing the Douglas County School District’s public accountability.

About 40 people gathered at Parker’s PACE Center for a twohour community forum.

“I feel like Jeffco’s given us some new opportunity,” said former school board candidate Julie Keim, who was among the meeting’s five panelists. “They have come together as a community and brought the attention to what’s happening in their schools. We need to all start working together. We’ve been stopped a little too much in Douglas County and no more. It’s time.”

Former teacher and meeting leader Gary Colley formed the Community Accountability Committee for DCSD in late 2013 to work with the board on education issues.

“We have to get ahead of the game in terms of what’s happening in Douglas County,” he said. “There’s nothing wrong with having differing views. What’s wrong is when you expect your view to stand for the whole county.”

Colley, who has spoken about his concerns at almost every

offer students Advanced Placement-type courses that are accredited.”

Those could include the University of Colorado, Colorado Christian University, Arapahoe Community College or others. DCSD already has concurrent enrollment partnerships with ACC, CCU, Community College of Aurora, and Red Rocks Community College.

“The optimal solution is to see a course with true integrity offered by the College Board,” he said. “But if they’re not going to do it, then I say we have to do something else because the course they are offering now is unacceptable.”

Reynolds’ daughter is taking the course at a Douglas County high school and so far, she believes the teacher is providing a “balanced approach,” she said.

“I feel pretty confident our teachers, especially our history teachers, are pretty sensitive to the fact that our community wants a balanced approach,” Reynolds said.

Nevertheless, she shared some of Geddes’ content

board meeting for several years, invited four board members to attend the Oct. 14 meeting; none came and Colley said only board member Judi Reynolds responded to his invitation, saying she had a conflict.

Five Douglas County women who launched groups or took legal action in response to DCSD issues spoke to the audience, and then helped lead breakout sessions. The full group reassembled to present their suggestions for addressing some concerns about the district.

“We have to restore trust in this district,” said Laura Mutton, president of the nonprofit Strong Schools Coalition. “That means the board of education needs to empower the district accountability committee and listen to the concerns being brought up.”

One session focused on teacher and staff concerns.

“We discussed a lot of mistrust,” said Cherie Garcia, who launched the SPEAK for DCSD Facebook page. “There are concerns with teachers and staff (who) didn’t feel comfortable sometimes with HR or within their own building voicing their concerns about their schools and environment.”

Garcia also said teachers are concerned about the time required to document their self-evaluations, which feed into the ratings that determine pay.

“When our teachers and staff are busy doing their e-portfolios, trying to hit that moving target and so concerned about that, they’re not spending time on our kids,” she said.

Garcia also suggested forming a teacher and staff community advisory group.

concerns.

“There does seem to be some bias,” she said. “As a conservative, I do have a different view of some of our historical events than some of my liberal friends. I think discussions on those differences of opinion are good.

(But) I want history taught in a manner where kids get the information and the facts and they draw their own conclusions. I’d like for it to be in as nonbiased a manner as possible.”

Geddes also is a regent at the University of Colorado Boulder, and said his concerns about AP U.S. History dovetail with his longer-standing mission to politically balance the traditionally liberal college’s teaching staff.

He would take the same approach to the staff at Michigan’s conservative Hillsdale College.

“Would I love to see every kid come out of a college a conservative?” he said. “Hell yes, I’ll admit that because I think that’s what’s best for America. But I would never send my child to Hillsdale College (because) they don’t have a balanced faculty.

“If I were in charge of Hillsdale, I would recruit some flaming liberals to come in and be part of each of those departments. I’d want to make sure I had the other side well represented.”

Participants at the Oct. 14 Community Accountability Committee’s community forum included fall 2013 Douglas County school board candidates Barbara Chase, left, and Julie Keim, right. Photo by Jane Reuter “I think it’s time to take back control of our schools to help our teachers,” she said, “to help our teachers stand up and say, ‘This isn’t right.’”

Colley plans to host another forum in the near future.

Parents upset over departure Security stepped up as teacher exits elementary school

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Parents and students at Buffalo Ridge Elementary are devastated by the departure of a popular teacher who recently resigned. Fourth-grade teacher Mike Mizones cited an environment that “compromises my integrity as a teacher” as his reason for leaving the Castle Pines school.

His supporters are pointing at the school’s principal not only as the impetus for the teacher leaving, but for creating an atmosphere the day of his departure they said added fear to the already heightened emotions.

Mizones could not be reached for comment. Principal Sarah McAfee did not return calls for comment, and the Douglas County School District sent an emailed statement about Mizones’ departure.

“We regret that he chose to leave his students midyear, but we understand it is his decision,” reads the email from DCSD spokeswoman Paula Hans. “His last day of school with his students was Thursday, October 9, 2014, as we believe fall break provides a natural transition for our students to make this change.

“We wish Mr. Mizones well and are committed to providing his students with an excellent teacher for the remainder of the year.”

In an email to the parents of Mizones’ fourth-grade students, McAfee said the search for his replacement would begin immediately, and parents’ input would be sought.

“We anticipate transitional struggles, yet our key priority is to focus on the future for students and find a professional to lead your child’s class forward in a positive and nurturing way,” she wrote. “I understand emotions and questions are running high. There will be communication emailed as we move through this process and once we select a new teacher, we will have a parent meeting to support the transition.”

Mizones resigned Oct. 6, and according to an email to parents, had planned to stay until Oct. 31. He wrote that he regretted the timing of his mid-year departure.

“This has been a very difficult decision, but a decision that has become increasingly clear over time,” the email reads. “I have very high standards regarding the integrity of education for our children, my own children included.

“The current environment compromises my integrity as a teacher and for this reason I am seeking new opportunities emphasizing my passion for education of our children.”

Douglas County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Chad Teller said the school district requested their presence Oct. 9 “because they were apparently going to terminate one of their employees. They wanted an officer to stand by because they didn’t know how bad it was going to be. It turned out to be not bad at all.”

Most of the security officers on hand were districtemployed staff members. Mizones wrote in an email the security personnel were standing in the hall, at the doorway and outside as he and his two children — who attend school at Buffalo Ridge — left the building.

“Safety is the top priority of the Douglas County School District,” Hans’ email states.

We will always take precautionary security measures any time we feel it is in the best interest of our students and staff.”

Parents, all of whom spoke of Mizones in glowing terms, described an emotional scenario.

“It was a sad and scary situation,” said Gretta Hawkins, who credits Mizones for pulling her son out of an emotional well after the untimely death of Hawkins’ hus-

band. “The staff was all in tears. Kids were crying. There were so many security guards. Parents were trying to get their kids and were told they couldn’t get into the school.

It was poorly handled and seemed unnecessary.”

Paige Taylor, whose 9-year-old daughter was among Mizones’ students, said her child was in shock.

“She made a comment to me it was the worst day of her life,” Taylor said.

“You’ve got armed police officers — men walking around a school with guns and holsters,” said Stephanie Gibson.

Buffalo Ridge has undergone a series of administrative changes. Former principal Ally Bergrren left abruptly in December 2012 amid substance-abuse allegations.

An interim principal led the school until McAfee stepped into the role in fall 2013.

Since then, Lamb and other parents said, staff turnover is up, and the school’s atmosphere is different.

Mizones “I used to volunteer there,” said Katie Van Houten. “Now, you don’t even want to walk in the building. The whole climate has changed. It feels more like an institution than a school.

“I moved down here from Denver not worrying at all about the schools we were putting our kids in. Now I’m wishing we had moved to the Cherry Creek district.”

“It feels cold, almost like a prison,” said Cindy Lombardi. “It’s not inviting to go in there anymore.”

“There are lots of rules,” Hawkins said. “There’s hardly any parent involvement. I understand a lot of these are district-mandated changes. But you can make change and still do it kindly. Nothing is being done kindly.

“We moved to such a happy, nurturing place and it’s not that way at all now. Teachers are just hanging on. It’s disheartening.”

The Colorado Department of Education shows DCSD’s 2013-14 teacher turnover at 17.45 percent, but does not include individual school statistics.

“While it is not our practice to report on turnover at specific schools, we are seeing a turnover rate at BRE in line with our district average,” Hans said.

Gibson is among many Buffalo Ridge parents who think the problems spring from the impact of districtlevel education policy changes.

“Stuff rolls downhill,” she said. “I do believe (this) is part of a larger problem.

“We won’t stand for having the teachers there who care so much about our children afraid for their jobs, afraid for losing their paychecks, their individuality and why they became teachers in the first place. We don’t want to lose any more teachers.”

Governor’s race isn’t just John and Bob show Four other candidates add spice to electoral stew

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com One candidate is the husband of a strip club owner who has been endorsed by Snoop Dogg. Another is a faith-driven ballet dancer.

They make up half of the field of lesserknown gubernatorial candidates who are trying to shake up the two-party system while also putting some color back in Colorado politics.

Either John Hickenlooper will win reelection on Nov. 4 or Bob Beauprez will take the seat from him.

But don’t tell that to the four candidates in the race whose names are not Bob or John.

“I can win and it’s going to send a shockwave through politics on the planet,” said Mike Dunafon.

Dunafon is the mayor of Glendale who had a brief playing career with the Denver Broncos. He is married to Debbie Matthews, who owns Shotgun Willie’s strip club.

Dunafon, who is running as an unaffiliated candidate, wants to reduce the size of government and believes that the two major parties have failed to rein in spending.

He is critical of recent efforts aimed at boosting K-12 education performance. He brands “Orwellian” Common Core education testing measures as “common floor” methods.

And he is against Amendment 68, a ballot measure that would provide schools with tax revenue that would come as a result of allowing casino-style gaming at the Arapahoe Park racetrack.

“Why don’t we just pass prostitution and say we’re giving it to the kids?” Dunafon said.

Dunafon is also pro-gun and pro-gay marriage and he supports the release of non-violent drug offenders from jail.

But Dunafon has made waves this election cycle for the non-traditional endorsements he has received, including those of hip-hop stars Wycleaf Jean and the one and only Snoop Dogg.

In fact, the two collaborated with Dunafon on a remix of the song, “The Trap,” which Dunafon says is “a metaphor for our false set of political choices.”

to wed/Women control their bodies/Get the government out of bed,” go some of the lyrics, with Dunafon and Snoop sharing vocals.

Libertarian candidate Matthew Hess doesn’t have hip-hop artists backing his campaign, but he is tapping into Dunafon’s passion for attracting voters who are fed up with the current two-party system.

“I think they don’t feel represented anymore,” Hess said. “It continually comes up that there’s a feeling of disregard, almost a benign neglect from the two parties.”

Hess, who grew up in Douglas County, is a systems administrator who said he has volunteered thousands of hours with the Boy Scouts of America.

Hess doesn’t like government intrusion and he believes overregulation and high taxes slow economic growth.

In other words, he is a classic Libertarian.

“Some do think Libertarians are nuts, utopians and anarchists,” he said. “But others are starting to see that Libertarians are right. It’s based on common sense and it’s very logical and consistent.”

Then there’s Harry Hempy. With a name like that, he is the perfect standard-bearer for the Green Party.

“It fits,” Hempy said of his name. “I think it give me a 10 percent handicap over the other candidates. You won’t believe how many people ask me if that’s my real name.”

Hempy, who lives in western Boulder County near Jamestown, is a retired IBM computer scientist.

He is also a former Democrat who said he left the party out of frustration that its leaders weren’t taking the issue of campaign finance limits seriously.

“I finally became convinced that they were not interested in taking money out of politics, so I said there’s no hope in this party, just like in the Republican Party,” Hempy said.

Hempy would like to see a faster development of renewable energy resources and wants the government to stop handing out “special tax subsidies” for oil and gas companies.

Hempy also wants government to do

way streets and awareness of pedestrians. The third lesson will usually entail some mountain driving, Knight said.

“They learn proper, safe habits that they will use for the rest of their life,” he said.

The Graduated Driver Licensing laws “allow young drivers to safely gain driving experience before obtaining full driving privileges,” states the Governors Highway Safety Association on Colorado laws.

Generally, three stages are followed: the learner stage, which is supervised driving, cumulative with a driving test; the intermediate stage, which limits unsupervised driving in high-risk situations; and the full-privilege stage, which is when a standard driver’s license is earned.

In order to receive a driver’s license, a

something about “the injustice of low pay and corporate control.” He believes that message resonates with voters who may be disillusioned with government and politics.

“Sixty percent of Americans want to have a third major party and they don’t realize they’re in the majority for wanting that,” he said.

The veteran candidate of the group is Paul Fiorino, an unaffiliated candidate who is making his third run for the governor’s office.

“It’s just a matter of name recognition, that’s all it is,” Fiorino said of getting voters’ attention. “People see you on the ballot a couple of times and maybe they’ll take you seriously the third time.”

Fiorino believes the state has only scratched the surface when it comes to the possibilities of Amendment 64, which legalized recreational marijuana sales and use in Colorado. He would like to see the state take on a greater role in promoting cannabis commerce and said there is also great economic potential in the hemp industry.

On education, Fiorino said he is frustrated that schools have cut back on art programs, the humanities and physical fitness.

“We’re supposed to be the healthiest state and we don’t even have a physical fitness standard,” he said.

Fiorino was raised in Douglas County and is ballet dancer who has performed on stage from New York to Denver.

In the early 1990s, Fiorino was affected by Guillain-Barre syndrome, a disease where the body’s immune system attacks parts of the nervous system. Fiorino has fought through the disease, which can paralyze muscles, and has even released his own album, where he plays guitar and performs faith-inspired songs.

Fiorino believes there are parallels in working as a performing artist and being a governor.

“You need to bring chaos together to put on a performance,” he said. “That’s what an artistic director can do and that’s what a governor does.”

“But, just being a ballet dancer in America takes some cojones, I think.”

teen is required to have 50 hours logged driving experience, Baron said, which is gained in the learner stage.

But he believes 50 hours is the “bare minimum.”

“You can’t really produce a good driver,” he said. “It takes 100 hours or more.”

While still too high, the number of teen deaths from car accidents is improving compared to 15 years ago, Baron said.

“Many factors have contributed to safer drivers,” he said, “despite there being more drivers on the road.”

Safer vehicle manufacturing, better driving education laws and higher standards for driving instruction all play a part in creating safer drivers, he said.

Required comprehensive driver’s education courses teach teens the minimum standards to know how to safely operate a motor vehicle, Baron said. Parents should also take their teen’s driving education very seriously.

“Everybody benefits,” he said. “All of society benefits because there’s safer drivers on the road.”

Churches face prospect of gay weddings Religious groups vary in practice

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Hours after the Supreme Court paved the way for gay marriage in more than a dozen states, including Colorado, the phones started ringing.

Wedding coordinators, flower shops and cake-makers began preparing for the anticipated influx of ceremonies for gay couples. For many local churches, however, the subject of gay marriage is still something of a conundrum.

Individual Episcopal churches in the state have the option to give “blessings” to same-sex relationships, but “at this point, they’re not authorized to offer the sacrament of marriage,” said the Rev. Rebecca Jones, spokeswoman for Robert O’Neill, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado.

Each parish is encouraged to undertake a period of “prayerful discernment” to decide whether to offer blessings, she said. Actual wedding ceremonies in Episcopal churches “will be a source of continued discussion,” Jones said. Church decisions on major social issues take place at conventions every three years, and the next one is scheduled for July

2015.

Cherry Hills Community Church in Highlands Ranch and Word of Life Christian Center in Lone Tree did not return calls for comment. Churches often follow the guidance of state and national committees that govern their respective denomination.

Most of the major churches — Baptist, Mormon, Muslim and Catholic, among them — still do not allow gay marriage, but other denominations have changed their stance, including the United Church of Christ and the Evangelical Lutheran Church, according to the Pew Research Center.

Some religious organizations are reassessing their positions on gay marriage, and earlier this month, comments made

by Pope Francis suggested a change in tone for the Catholic Church. During an interview with a Jesuit journal in Rome, he said gays and lesbians “must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity.”

The comments come on the heels of Pope Francis’ “Who am I to judge?” response to a reporter’s question about homosexuals.

In June, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the largest Lutheran church group in the United States, voted 559 to 451 in favor of allowing non-celibate gays to become ordained ministers.

During its national meeting in 2005, del-

‘The actual ceremony we perform is all about love anyway ... It’s more about what the vows are going to say, just like any other couple.’

Kerri Butler, Owner of a Touch of Bliss egates voted 503 to 490 against a measure that would have allowed non-celibate gay ordination and the blessing of samesex unions.

Kerri Butler, owner of A Touch of Bliss, the largest wedding planning agency in Colorado, said she has helped plan numerous weddings for gay couples in nondenominational Christian churches and even was involved last year in the first same-sex ceremony at St. John’s Cathedral, an Episcopal church in Denver. Butler’s company also has helped organize numerous civil union ceremonies.

“The actual ceremony we perform is all about love anyway,” she said. “It’s more about what the vows are going to say, just like any other couple.”

While a few churches are tempering their opposition to gay marriage, some disenfranchised same-sex couples in

Colorado choose to marry outdoors, with a friend or family member officiating the ceremony.

Getting married in a church was “never an option” for Eugene Ebner, who was raised in a strict Christian household and church environment that criticized homosexuality. Ebner, who considers himself “spiritual” rather than religious, said his family was shocked when he came out as gay. They continued to love him but still have problems with gay marriage. Ebner’s 84-year-old father initially said he would not attend his son’s wedding, but recently changed his mind.

“It was definitely an adjustment for him because of his generation, but when I told him I was getting married, he was very happy for me,” he said. “Love is love, and the more people see that, it takes them out of their (line of ) thinking.”

Service set in memory of showman Randy Weeks could handle the truth. In all the years that I have written column items about Denver Center Attractions productions, he never admonished me when I didn’t like or walked out on a particular play or musical at The Buell Theatre.

But we weren’t done. The professional relationship I so valued was cut short when the DCPA president and Broadway executive director died Oct. 9 during a trip to London to attend the Independent Producers Network conference. He was 59.

The public is invited to honor Weeks, along with his family, during a celebration of life at 4 p.m. Nov. 3 on the stage of the Buell Theatre.

Memorial gifts can be made to The Randy Weeks Memorial Fund for the Bobby G Awards, which supports the advancement of musical theater for Colorado high school students. Please make checks payable to Denver Center for the Performing Arts and mail to: DCPA Development Office, 1101 13th St., Denver, CO 80204.

Matisse, contemporaries shook up world of art

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “In the orchestra I was conducting, I decided in order to be heard, to use only trumpets, cymbals and drums, which in this sphere of work, meant tubes of paint: vermilions, chromes, greens and Prussian blue to say what I want to say …,” painter Maurice de Vlaminck once said.

In November 1905, according to the Denver Art Museum’s magazine, French painter Henri Matisse and a group of his friends exhibited their works in the annual Salon d’Automne in Paris, causing an immediate stir. The work was characterized by bright colors, loose brushstrokes and expressive style — a departure from the more conservative styles that had been shown in past years. These artists sought to redefine painting.

In addition to Matisse, the group included Andre Derain, Albert Marquet, Maurice de Vlaminck, Raoul Dufy, Georges Braque and Kees Van Dongen.

Critics were very unkind. Marcel Nicolle wrote of “Formless steaks of blue, red, yellow and green, all mixed up, splashes of raw color without rhyme or reason …” Another critic named them “Les Fauves,” wild beasts.

Fourteen vibrant paintings by this group are exhibited in Denver through Feb. 8 — on loan from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. They are installed at the Denver Art Museum in a most engaging manner.

Imagine walking into Matisse’s elaborately decorated parlor at his home, which is illustrated by a large photograph showing his collection of rich textiles, vases, carvings and other objects. (The photo was taken in the 1940s when “he was more affluent,” said museum director Christoph Heinrich.)

The installation staff proposed painting some gallery walls in turquoise, red and aubergine — colors found in the paintings. It makes each work of art — hung with ample space around it — just pop.

The staff collaborated with the Denver Center Theater Company to borrow props — velvet chairs and sofas, dark wood side tables and an intriguing collection of artifacts, such as the artist might have owned: vases, small sculptures and other interesting objects. And from the gorgeous Shaver Ramsey Gallery in Cherry Creek, they borrowed a collection of richly patterned Oriental rugs.

Pot shop eyed for TV

Though the lead of a new television pilot ordered for truTV is Denver marijuana dispensary owner Andy Williams, don’t expect him to be singing “Moon River.”

Williams would more likely sing Abba’s “Money, Money, Money” in the reality series that centers on the family dynasty behind the Medicine Man Marijuana Dispensary at 4750 Nome St. truTV has ordered a pilot for “Medicine Man” (working title) with executive producer Tony Krantz (“24,” “Felicity”) with Wilshire Studios producing and Flame Ventures’ Drew Comins as co-executive producer.

“Medicine Man” will focus on the Williams family dynasty and its unusual brand of business savvy. Medicine Man has a 40,000-square-foot industrial cultivation facility used for growing its award-winning product, employs 75 people across its various divisions, and is in construction on its first satellite outpost in nearby Aurora.

Barn blowout marks changes

“Open Window, Collioure” by Henri Matisse (French, 1869-1954) 1905, oil on canvas, 21 3/4 x 18 1/8 in. is in the “Matisse and Friends” exhibit at the Denver Art Museum.

Seating areas are arranged in front of each small group of paintings, inviting the visitor to sit, take a deep breath and really look at each single work of art — a unique experience in a beautifully organized space. Leather-bound journals on the side tables invite one to jot down personal responses to the art. Allow time to read the brief framed quotes from the artists.

Additionally, on the table next to Andre Derain’s paintings is a folder with photos of more work. It explains that in 1906, he was commissioned to paint a series of 50 seascapes modeled after Monet’s works. His view of the Thames is created with a more subdued palette, but still exhibits the loose brushwork of his colleagues.

Derain wrote: “Fauvism was our ordeal by fire … It was the era of photography. This may have influenced us and

No matter how far we moved away from things, it was never far enough. Colors became charges of dynamite.”

Roul Dufy, whose “Regatta at Cowes” is saturated with brilliant blues, wrote: “What I wish to show when I paint is the way I see things with my eyes and with my heart.”

Plan a relaxed visit to respond to these dramatic visions of a colorful world. Joy awaits.

The Barn at Raccoon Creek, at 7301 W. Bowles Ave. near Littleton, celebrated its groundbreaking of an extensive project that includes the renovation of the historic red milking barn on the Grant family-owned Raccoon Creek property, and a series of new builds to accommodate Colorado’s booming destination wedding industry.

In addition to officially breaking ground on the project, the event featured a raffle giveaway and site discounts to attendees, tours of the historic property and refreshments from Gigi’s Cupcakes. Littleton-area resident and bride-to-be Kaley Barrett won the raffle giveaway of one waived site fee (up to a value of $5,500) for her future wedding held at The Barn. Barrett and her fiance Stephen Sferra plan to be wed at The Barn next July.

The event featured members of the Grant family, with former resident of the property Newell Grant serving as the family spokesperson. Other notable guests included Jefferson County Commissioners Faye Griffin, Casey Tighe and Donald Rosier, The Barn at Raccoon Creek sales director Abby Nurre, and Jordy Construction’s Sean Wardroup, Dan Martell, Edgar Quintero and Kristin Kyser.

When renovation of The Barn is complete next May, it will be Denver’s only historic barn venue that can accommodate up to 200 guests for weddings and special events.

Women throw cabers, caution to the wind

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Karen Hart watched in awe as, one by one, the women launched telephone poles end over end.

Regardless of how the toss landed, each thrower was showered with hugs and cheers from her competitors.

“It was like a sorority,” Hart said. “It looked like so much fun.”

At the center of one celebratory scrum was Edie Lindeburg, who despite having only three years of competition under her belt has become a standout in the world of Scottish athletics.

Lindeburg and the others were actually tossing cabers as part of a multi-discipline Highland games contest in August.

Hart mustered the The events in a Scottish courage to talk to athletic competitions, AKA Lindeburg, who Highland games, are: caber was having a good toss, heavy hammer throw, showing at the light hammer throw, stone Warrior Classic throw, sheaf toss, weight games in Lovethrow for distance, weight land. throw for height and BraeTwo months mar stone throw. later, Hart, 51, is taking up a new hobby, one she “never in a million years” envisioned getting involved in. And she has the ideal mentor.

RUNDOWN OF EVENTS

‘Throwing cabers is just cool’

Lindeburg, a 48-year-old resident of Parker, had been looking for a new challenge, too, when she came across an amateur Scottish athletics competition in Estes Park, which claims the largest Scottish festival in Colorado.

After 12 years of triathlons, she was mentally and physically burned out. Having no idea that amateurs could compete in caber toss and other sports, she conducted some research, and she and her husband, Nathan, became members of the Rocky Mountain Scottish Athletics Association in 2011.

“We’ve always gone toward (sports) that interested us rather than what was popular,” said Lindeburg, who competed in track and

Parker resident Edie Lindeberg, second from left, lifts a caber with the help of competitors and friends. In just three years, Lindeberg has climbed to the top ranks of her age bracket in the Scottish games, which includes the caber toss. Photo by Karen Hart field in high school. “We got to a point in our athletic careers where we were ready for a change.”

The Lindeburgs learned about technique and scoring, and now push each other in training. They can occasionally be found practicing the stone and hammer throws at Legend High School, or tossing a caber at a park in Canterberry Crossing, where they’ve lived for the last 15 years.

Nathan Lindeburg, a 54-year-old naval reservist, said he has enjoyed acquiring new, decathlon-like athletic skills.

“And throwing cabers is just cool,” he says.

This was the first year the Lindeburgs traveled for competitions and “now we’re kind of hooked on it,” Edie Lindeburg says. It’s easy to see why. Over the last two years, she has regularly earned a top-two position in the majority of contests she’s entered. During the Masters World Championships in Inverness, Scotland, last month, she placed fourth overall (and first in the caber toss) in the women’s 45-49 age category.

“My goal in Scotland was to see what I could do at that level,” said Lindeburg, whose slight build belies her Herculean strength. “I

was very pleased. Surprised, to be honest.”

Aside from succeeding in a pastime she truly enjoys, Lindeburg has a goal of growing the sport for women. That’s where Hart comes in.

‘Word is getting out’

Hart, of Centennial, pulls into the parking lot of the gym, her car stereo blaring bagpipe music to get into the proper mindset.

She had already started to immerse herself in Scottish culture over the summer, joining various societies and volunteering for the Rocky Mountain Scottish Athletics Association in preparation for a trip to Scotland to study her husband’s genealogy. That trip happened to coincide with the Masters World Championships, and Hart watched her kilted mentor keep step with women who have been competing at a high level for years.

“Word is getting out,” Hart says. “People are starting to hear about her.”

Hart has been thoroughly inspired by Edie Lindeburg. Though she has never embarked on such an audacious journey, Hart now has her sights set on her first competition at the

Pikes Peak Celtic Festival next June. After getting workout pointers from Lindeburg, Hart hired a personal trainer, studied the correct throwing posture, changed her diet, and is “laying the foundation” to get involved.

She admits she doesn’t expect to accomplish anything more than bookending events with her mentor, “placing last to her first,” said Hart, who has never considered herself an athlete.

“I’ve got to give this a try and participate as an athlete to experience it, then I’ll probably try to get involved in the organizing side and maybe judging,” Hart said.

It doesn’t matter how she finishes, just that she proves to herself that she’s capable of trying out a fringe sport and serving as a role model for her nieces. There is also the sorority-like camaraderie, which is among Hart’s biggest motivations.

“I may drop the caber on my toe, but at least I’ll have a supportive group to help me off the field,” she said with a laugh.

Parkinson’s patient receives innovative surgery that alleviates symptoms

By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com

During the first few months of the year, Highlands Ranch resident Rebecca Rothwell couldn’t play the piano, ride a bike or work in her garden.

But after undergoing a new surgery called Deep Brain Stimulation, Rothwell can do all her favorite activities again.

“It’s like I don’t have Parkinson’s,” she said. “I can’t tell you how great it is to be able to move.”

Seven years ago, when she was 56, Rothwell was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative brain disorder that affects at least 500,000 people in the United States.

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke considers the disease “both chronic, meaning it persists over a long period of time, and progressive, meaning its symptoms grow worse over time.”

“You know you have it,” Rothwell said. “It gets progressively worse. It’s degenerative, there’s no doubt about that.” # At present, no cure exists for CN TAKE-OUT ONLY Parkinson’s.

“You can make such a massive impact on their quality of life,” he HH 10.20.13ColoNwsFam.Feed#1.indd 1 10/20/13 8:50 AM said. “That’s the thing that really allows me to identify with it.”

The first symptom of Parkinson’s disease is a tremor that often begins in one hand. As time and the disease progress, other symptoms appear — slow movements, an inability to move, rigid limbs, a shuffling gait, a stooped posture and reduced facial expressions. Depression, personality changes and speech impairments can also be symptoms of Parkinson’s.

In Rothwell’s case, the illness hit her left side hard. Her left hand cramped and remained tense. In time, she lost articulation. Her facial and other muscle movements began to disappear. Eventually, she couldn’t move her fingers or bend her knees.

“This past winter was the tipping point,” she said.

Rebecca Rothwell, of Highlands Ranch, has Parkinson’s disease, but is now able to partake in her favorite activities again after receiving the Deep Brain Stimulation surgery in April, which is offered by Dr. David VanSickle at Littleton Adventist Hospital. There is no known cure for the disease, but DBS can alleviate the symptoms. Courtesy photo

By March, she needed a wheelchair.

“I was in critical shape.”

Rothwell heard of VanSickle and the DBS surgery through a physical therapist at Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree. After researching the procedure, she and her husband, Brian, scheduled the surgery in April. By the end of June, she was walking seven miles without any help.

“I’m very fortunate to have found out about this,” Rothwell said.

Two devices make the surgery work. An electrode is implanted in the patient’s brain and a neurostimulator, a device similar to a pacemaker, is implanted in the chest near the collarbone. The two devices are connected and “impulses from the neurostimulator interfere with, and block, the electrical signals that trigger motion disorders,” according to Littleton Adventist Hospital’s DBS webpage.

Rothwell calls it turning on the electricity.

The first DBS surgery was done in 1987 and the Food and Drug Administration approved it in 2002.

“Studies show that DBS works,” VanSickle said, “and it works amazingly well . . . High-class evidence behind it (proves) it is more beneficial than medications alone.”

The operation can alleviate most motor symptoms of Parkinson’s — tremor, rigidity, slowness — but does not help non-motor symptoms such as sense of smell or balance. It also cannot prevent dementia, which is inevitable for Parkinson’s patients.

Rothwell, however, is focused on today.

She is, she said, “happy as a bug in a rug.”

Since the surgery, Rothwell has regained her rhythm. She is dancing at concerts. She is writing and illustrating a children’s book. And she is looking forward to skiing again this winter.

“I’ve got it all back — it’s amazing,” Rothwell said. “DBS saved me.

Never stop hoping.”

Project ReCycle holds comedy fundraiser Oct. 29 event set for south-metro venue

By Jane Reuter

jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com Thanks to Douglas County-based Project ReCycle, more than 4,500 children are riding bicycles they otherwise could not afford. Nonprofit director AJ Stapleton hopes the program brings some joy into the lives of those struggling with economic disadvantages.

Stapleton’s 6-year-old mission revolves around the goodness of others, including companies and individuals who donate bicycles, volunteers who help refurbish and distribute them and those who donate space in which to restore the bicycles.

But even Project ReCycle doesn’t get a completely free ride.

“It costs us $52.52 to get a kid on a bike,” Stapleton said.

Expenses include difficult-to-recycle parts like cabling, helmets and locks, plus some money to pay part-

time shop managers.

To help meet those expenses, Project ReCycle will host its third annual Night of Laughter fundraiser. The Oct. 29 event at Comedy Works South in Greenwood Village starts with a 6 p.m. silent auction and hors d’oeuvres, followed by the 7:30 p.m. comedy show.

Steve “Mudflap” McGrew will entertain.

Project Recycle has reserved the club. General admission tickets are $35 and VIP tickets, which include reserved seating and four drink tickets, are $100.

Project Recycle typically distributes bicycles at schools. It receives nominations for worthy schools, then meets with each school’s principal to ensure it meets the program’s qualifications requirements. Project Recycle has distributed bicycles in Rio Grande, Adams, Arapahoe and Jefferson County among others.

Children who receive bicycles don’t have to pay for them monetarily, but the program requires they earn them in other ways.

“We encourage them to improve their grades and attendance; they

have to improve to earn a bike,” Stapleton said. “It gives them pride of ownership, teaches them responsibility, and about reward-based performance.”

Project ReCycle establishes an individual baseline for each child, and Stapleton meets with them to provide encouragement.

As big as the program already is, lack of funding prevents Project ReCycle from meeting the demand for bicycles.

“Right now, we’ve been trying to slow things down and try to get in front of the bull,” Stapleton said. “Our goal is to expand to different states.”

To that end, Stapleton is focused on streamlining the process, creating easily duplicated systems and building inventory.

“I have two guys that are shop managers; I need to get enough funding so I can pay those guys full-time,” he said. “Then we can start handling the requests that are coming in.”

Cherokee Ranch launches autumn events

By Jane Reuter jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherokee Ranch wants more people to enjoy the beauty autumn brings to its 3,400-acre property. This month, it will host a Fall Festival and Halloween Gala ball — events it intends to add to repeat annually.

The multi-night Maze of Terror and two-

day Fall Festival are planned at the ranch’s Santa Fe Drive barn on the ranch’s east side, located at 5036 N. Highway 85 near Sedalia.

The Maze of Terror will be open from 5-10 p.m. Oct. 24, 25, 26 and 31. The large indoor/ outdoor hay maze will be filled with live actors and frightening props.

Eagles capture first state softball title Valor uses timely hitting and fielding to knock off Frederick

By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Alexandria Kilponen pitched Valor Christian to the Class 4A softball championship but the freshman had plenty of help from her friends as the Eagles captured their first state championship in softball.

Valor scored three runs in the top of the seventh to defeat previously unbeaten Frederick, 7-4, in the state title game Oct. 18 at Aurora Sports Park.

Eagles’ coach Dave Atencio tabbed the 12 players on his team the “Dirty Dozen” and Valor finished the season with a 24-1 record.

Kilponen, nicknamed “Ali Kat,” fanned 13 batters in Valor’s 3-1 win over 11-time state champion Erie in the semifinals and displayed plenty of composure in the title game. She allowed 11 hits but struck out seven Frederick batters and worked out of several jams thanks to some brilliant defensive plays by her teammates.

“She’s as tough as an alley cat and that’s why I call her that,” explained Atencio. “She’s an unbelievable talent. She so poised for a 14-yearold kid. She is just a flat-out stud. The kid can flat out throw and I’m glad to have her for three more years.”

Still, Kilponen needed help.

Frederick had the bases loaded in the fourth inning with one out, but sophomore second baseman Abigail Zuschlag snagged a sinking line drive and flipped the ball to first baseman Skylar Vaughn for an inning-ending double play.

Trailing 4-0 in the bottom of the fifth, Frederick got on the scoreboard with Paris Woods’ two-run homer and the next batter belted a ball towards the gap in right centerfield but senior centerfielder Kendall Ohman made a nice catch to prevent further damage. Zuschlag grabbed another hard liner to end the inning.

Frederick tied the game at 4-all in the sixth and had runners on first and second with two outs when Mae Mitchell’s grounder deflected off Kilponen’s glove. Alex Dufour tried to score from second but Zuschlag picked up the ball, fired a strike to catcher Erica Mann to tag out Dufour and end the inning with the game still tied.

“The ball deflected off the pitcher and I was just there to back her up,” said Zuschlag. “Everyone was yelling at me to go home so I threw home. As soon as I let go, I saw the runner and was like `I got her.’”

Kilponen was quick to laud the Valor defense.

“My defense the whole year has pulled

BELOW: Makenna Roth (19) slides across home plate in the seventh inning to put the Eagles ahead for good in the contest. Teammates Erica Mann (6) and Abigail Zuschlag (9) are in the background celebrating Valor capturing the lead. Photos by Paul DiSalvo through,” she said.

Six of the seven runs scored by Valor were unearned, including the three in the top of the seventh.

With two out, Zuschlag and Shelby Mann singled. Zuschlag scored when Makenna Roth reached on an error.

Alexandra Kinder, who cracked a gamewinning two-run homer in the earlier win over Erie, followed with a two-run triple to provide the winning margin. Kinder has played with a torn calf most of the season.

“With the three-run lead, it was like we got this,” said Kilponen who keeps one sock a little short of her softball pants for good luck. “I knew my defense was there, we had three runs to play with.”

Zuschlag was 3-for-3 in the title game and Ohman added two hits.

It was the second championship that Atencio has won. He coached Dakota Ridge to the 2001 title.

“It never gets old,” he said. “We only had 12 kids on the entire team this season. We call ourselves the dirty dozen and they never, never stopped playing. We were 24-1 and we are just blessed they gave us this season.

“I made a decision to go to Valor two years ago. There was a reason I went to Valor after 17 years at Dakota Ridge. It was to build a cham-

pionship quality program and we did it in two years. We get eight of the dirty dozen back next season. That’s great.”

In other Class 4A state tournament action, Ponderosa was a semifinalist in 2013 but the

Mustangs couldn’t get past Frederick in the quarterfinals.

Ponderosa (15-8) opened with a 2-1 win over Silver Creek as Ali Power fanned 17 batters but the Mustangs lost 4-1 to Frederick.

Vista, Valor both fall on Friday night Golden Eagles suffer first loss of season, Eagles lose first in-state game in 29 outings

By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mountain Vista hadn’t played a big game in a while.

And, it’s been a few seasons since Valor Christian encountered tough league encounters like the Eagles are dealing with this season in the Centennial League.

On Oct. 17 both Mountain Vista and Valor Christian lost.

Regis Jesuit, No. 6 in the CHSAANow. com Class 5A poll, dominated the offensive and defensive lines in a 35-7 win over No. 7 Mountain Vista in a Continental North first-place showdown at Lou Kellogg Stadium.

The Raiders improved to 7-1 overall and 5-0 in the league with a final regular season game coming up Oct. 25 at Fruita Monument. Vista suffered its first loss of the season, falling to 7-1 and 4-1 with a regular season finale set for Oct. 24 against Highlands Ranch.

Top-ranked and defending state champion Valor Christian saw its 28-

Alec Barnes, of Highlands Ranch, goes up and over a defender to score a Regis touchdown during the Raiders’35-7 win Oct. 17 over Mountain Vista. Barnes carried the ball 21 times for 126 yards and scored two touchdowns in the victory. Photo by Tom Munds game winning streak against Colorado teams snapped when No. 9 Cherry Creek blanked the Eagles in the second half en route to a 33-17 victory at the Stutler Bowl.

Valor (6-2) and Creek (5-3) are both 3-1 in the Centennial League. Valor Christian can possibly create a three-way, firstplace tie if it beats unbeaten Grandview (8-0, 4-0) Oct. 24 at Legacy Stadium.

Creek plays Eaglecrest Oct. 24.

Mountain Vista coach Ric Cash believes the loss to Regis was a learning experience for his team.

“We absolutely will learn from this,” he said. “A big game for us is an environment we hadn’t necessarily been in outside of the rivalry games and different things like that. Can we compete with this level of competition? I feel we can. We hadn’t experienced that and it kind of showed, especially in the first half.

“We challenged our kids at the end of the game. I told them this is what it means to be in the top 10. This is the level of competition, this is the level of intensity, this is the focus you have to have.

This is the determination and intensity in which you have to play. We didn’t prepare ourselves for that. That starts with us as a coaching staff and it goes all the way down. I know we will definitely be better prepared for that.”

Mountain Vista gained a total of 17 yards on its first four possessions as the Raiders raced to a 21-0 lead. The Golden Eagles didn’t score until there was just 5:02 was remaining in the game when Jamison Withan ran it in from four yards out.

Honest & Dependable Brian Alexander started Team Alexander Athletics last May to focus on developing basketball skills for kids who are not on competitive teams. Photo

by Jim Benton

Team Alexander aims to develop youth skills New hoops program for ‘those who don’t make the cut’ may expand to other sports Staff report Brian Alexander is looking for middle school-aged basketball players.

He’s not seeking sharpshooting boys with good vertical leaps or girls who can dribble around opponents and make a layup.

Alexander started Team Alexander Athletics last May and the focus of TAA is on kids who are not on competitive teams.

TAA is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and the trade name to Coaches Association of Brotherhood.

“I started it so I could help develop kids in basketball,” said Alexander. “Many kids come to tryouts, they get cut and they are told they are not good enough. Where do they go? Some quit. Team Alexander is something I started where you are not going to get cut. I want to start at sixth grade and develop from there.

“We take players who are unknown. Players that other coaches feel are not good enough to play and we develop them into known players, teaching them what they are lacking and showing them how to get there. Development, that’s the whole mindset.”

Alexander, whose brother Jason Jones plays defensive end for the Detroit Lions, played one season of basketball at Butler Community College before moving on to the University of Detroit Mercy. He went on to play pro basketball in Finland and currently helps the Rock Canyon basketball program.

He hopes to expand Team Alexander into chess, soccer and other sports.

“I’m also using Team Alexander Athletics to overcome racial barriers that we face,” Alexander said. “That’s the whole mission statement where I can bring say an African American kid and a Caucasian kid together and they learn from each other.

Not just in sport but off the court. You hear stereotypes growing up that are not true.

“It’s a family type organization where everyone knows each other. Parents are the key to knowing each other. We all learn from each other. That’s my mission. We learn to appreciate each other. Everyone is treated equal and we work together. It’s not so much focus on sports, it’s everyday life.”

Any youngsters interested in Team Alexander Athletics can go to the website at www.taathletics.org or call 720-251-5282.

Rock Canyon leads soccer tourney field Jaguars enter postseason on 12-game winning streak

By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com It might be good to pull out the dartboard or flip coins if anybody wants to determine the favorites in the Class 5A state soccer tournament.

Continental League champion Rock Canyon (13-1-1) is on a 12-game winning streak and top-seeded in the tournament.

The Jaguars open with an Oct. 23 game against No. 32 Grand Junction.

“We played the top five teams in our league in our last five games,” said Rock Canyon coach Matt Sassali. “Every game felt like a playoff game. I’m really proud of the boys. We didn’t always have our best game but they found a way to win and that’s not an easy thing to do.

“When you get into the state tournament you are going to see a good deal of teams that all have a chance. From one through 12 in this state, there is really not much difference. Maybe you have some differences in players and things like that but for the most part every one of these teams can compete for a state title.”

Other area teams among the top 10 seeds in Class 5A include No. 5 Mountain Vista, No. 6 Arapahoe and No. 10 Legend.

Ponderosa is seeded No. 6 in Class 4A, while Littleton checks in at No. 8.

“Last year we had more of a rough season,” explained Legend coach Jordan Ivey.

“We were really young so we returned a lot of people. The boys really came together as a family. That has shown through how we are playing games. We took Rock Canyon down to the last few minutes (2-1 loss Oct. 15).

“Rock Canyon by most people’s judgment is the No. 1 team in the state. In certain parts of that game we were dominating. I really believe the state playoffs are pretty wide open. A few years ago, Heritage from the No. 24 seed went all the way to the state championship. A solid defense is really what you have to build on. If you can hold the other team out of the net and then be able to sneak one in to win.”

Heritage coach Adam Buseck remem-

The 2014 Continental League champion Rock Canyon boys soccer team was awarded the No. 1 seed in the Class 5A state playoffs. The Jaguars will host No. 32 Grand Junction in an Oct. 23 first round game. Photo by Jim Benton bers 2011 when the Eagles advanced to the state championship game where Heritage lost 2-0 to Denver East.

“We were seeded 24th out of 32 teams and we played in the finals against Denver East,” said Buseck. “It was a good year and we had a lot of guys with a lot of heart. We got a few upsets along the way. For boys soccer the first round games usually follow the seeds. After that first round it can really open up.”

Heritage, seeded 14th, will host No. 19 Poudre in the opening round but Buseck feels that there is a trio of teams that have separated themselves.

“As the season went on, you saw a little separation,” said Buseck. “You saw Rock Canyon and Smoky Hill separate, and Boulder as well. Those three teams really did pull away. I feel this year you did have a little more separation at the very top end. But four through 32 or four through the mid20s you have a lot of competition that could go either way.”

Buseck believes any of the five teams

STATE SOCCER PAIRINGS First round matches in the Colorado State High School boys soccer playoffs featuring south metro teams.

CLASS 5A: Games are scheduled for Oct. 23 No. 32 Grand Junction (5-9-1) at No. 1 Rock Canyon (13-1-1) No. 25 ThunderRidge (7-8-0) at No. 8 Fairview (10-5-0) No. 19 Poudre (7-6-2) at No. 14 Heritage (8-4-3) No. 27 Westminster (7-7-1) at No. 6 Arapahoe (10-5-0)

from the Continental League could wind up advancing a long way.

“Coming out of the Continental League, it’s one of the most competitive soccer leagues in the state,” he said. “You feel like you can compete with any other team in the state.”

Sassali insists his Rock Canyon team can play better than they have been despite their nearly two-month winning streak.

“I don’t think these last few games, we’ve

played our best,” he said. “We’ve had a little bit of disruptions. We haven’t had our full complement of players since the (Mountain) Vista game. We’ll probably get back to a full complement of players. We’ve had injuries, we had a red card suspension from the game against Heritage and there were a couple off the field things that we sat kids down for a game to refocus them. This week hopefully we will get back to the game we know we can play.”

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF OCT 20 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) You could be caught in a torrent of advice from well-meaning friends and colleagues this week. But remember, Lamb, you are at your best when you are your own inimitable self.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Expect strong efforts to get you to accept things as they are and not question them. But ignore all that and continue your inquiries until you’re sure you have all the answers you need.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Heavier than usual family and workplace duties compete for your time this week. Try to strike a balance so that you’re not overwhelmed by either. Pressures ease by week’s end.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) It’s a good time for the Moon Child to show off your uniquely inspired approach to the culinary skills -- especially if they’re directed toward impressing someone special.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) You might be happy about the re-emergence of a long-deferred deal. But don’t pounce on it quite yet. Time can change things. Be sure the values you looked for before are still there.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Try to rein in your supercritical attitude, even if things aren’t being done quite as you would prefer. Remember: What you say now could create an awkward situation later on.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Although you can expect on-the-job cooperation from most of your colleagues this week, some people might insist on knowing more about your plans before they can accept them.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Creating another way to do things is commendable. But you could find some resistance this week from folks who would rather stick with the tried-and-true than try something new.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) You usually can keep your aim focused on your goal. But you might need to make adjustments to cope with unsteadiness factors that could arise over the course of the week.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) News arrives about a projected move. Be prepared to deal with a series of possible shifts, including starting and finishing times, and how much the budget will actually cover.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A new relationship needs time to develop. Let things flow naturally. It could be a different story with a workplace situation, which might require faster and more focused attention.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Accept a compliment without trying to troll for any hidden reason beyond what was said. After all, don’t you deserve to be praised every now and then? Of course you do.
