emories of yesteryear and a touch of today highlighted the sunsplashed Oct. 4 Schweiger Ranch Fall Festival.

There were wagon rides, a pumpkin patch, apple picking, a simulated cave through which children could crawl, Lego classes, crafts, a petting zoo and tours of the historic, recently renovated buildings on the property. The ranch south of RidgeGate Parkway on Havana Street was established in the late 1800s. The festival may be over, but the Schweiger Ranch is open for guided or self-guided tours every Saturday and Sunday. Call 303-790-0557.

The mood among the Denver metro employees of one of the world’s most esteemed financial institutions was decidedly light Oct. 1 as Charles Schwab celebrated the grand opening of its Lone Tree campus.

The first of about 2,000 Denver-area employees will move into the massive buildings that have forever altered Lone Tree’s physical and financial horizon in early October.

Men and women in dark suits and business attire, representing a who’s-who of south metro Denver, gathered at the stillunder-construction site for breakfast, tours and a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Schwab opened its Lone Tree retail branch building at the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Park Meadows Drive in May, and erected a 50-foot-tall “Schwab” sign along I-25.

“If you didn’t notice the new branch, maybe you noticed the sign on I-25,” Schwab senior vice president Brian McDonald said during the grand opening event. “In fact, we got a complaint — IKEA called and said it was too big.”

jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com A judge found probable cause Oct. 3 to try Ryan Stone, the man facing 26 counts in a March 12 multi-county, high-speed chase that ended in Douglas County.

Stone’s arraignment is set for Dec. 1 at the Douglas County Justice Center.

Judge Susanna Lea Meissner-Cutler made her ruling at the end of a more than two-hour preliminary hearing during which a Longmont police officer and two Douglas Stone County Sheriff’s Department officers testified about their roles in the chaotic, morning rush-hour incident.

Stone is suspected of carjacking three vehicles during the nearly two-hour pursuit. The first, containing a 4-year-old boy, was stolen from a Longmont gas station.

Stone allegedly later abandoned the car, with the uninjured boy inside it, to hijack another. In all, he damaged a total of nine vehicles at an estimate of more than

October 9, 2014

Man hits road of life with hands off wheel The call for prayer from the nearby mosque woke him from a restless sleep about 4 that morning.

He showered, dressed and checked his backpack. Water containers. Iodine tablets. Medical kit. Several notebooks and 24 pencils. Some Clif bars. One change of clothes. A credit card to be used only for emergencies. A palm-sized GPS tracker.

Tent. Sleeping bag. Compass.

No cell phone.

He repacked, shut off the lights and knelt on the concrete floor. Let me be present, he prayed. Let me handle challenges with grace and humility.

Then, Donovan DiLorenzo — an olive scarf wound around his head, a shadow of a beard on his face, Teva sandals on his feet — stepped from the hotel in Madaba, Jordan, his heart a mix of trepidation and hope, and began walking.

“The first time you step out — that’s the scariest,” he said. “You’ve built up all these expectations … and you’re just not sure how they’re going to unfold.”

Donovan’s Journey, as his family calls it, began Aug. 27, 2013.

It unfolded step by step, without any sure plan. Donovan, then 42, trekked as pilgrims in days of old through Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Egypt and India, letting the day’s encounters chart his path and depending on unexpected kindnesses for food, shelter and companionship. By the time he returned home in May, he had walked more than 1,100 miles.

Back home in Highlands Ranch where he grew up, his parents had anxiously followed his path through intermittent signals from a GPS tracker. They thought he was searching for self-discovery.

His younger sister later told him she thought his choice to travel without resources or a way to communicate with home was selfish because of the worry it caused those who loved him.

Donovan thought doing so was the only real way to live fully in the moment — to see and feel and understand a profoundness of life uncluttered by distractions. He wasn’t really searching for something; he just wanted to see what would happen if life directed him rather than the other way around.

“It was a kind of shedding or surrendering …,” Donovan said. “It was just about letting go and seeing how life would unfold being a little more present.”

His life had already detoured from the main road.

The tragedy of 9/11 caused him to rethink his course: He left a lucrative job as an account executive in New York to teach in New Orleans’ most challenging urban school district. He later helped with reconstruction and outreach following Hurricane Katrina’s devastation. From there, he joined the Peace Corps, working in Africa in Malawi, one of the world’s least-developed countries. He returned to New Orleans and taught there until last summer, when he decided to abandon life as he knew it.

He chose to walk most of his journey to have “more time to think, write and connect with others.”

When Donovan refused to take a cell phone, his parents, Neil and Michelle, persuaded him to pack a small GPS tracker.

“You’re not really communicating,” Neil told him. “At least, as long as the coordinates are moving, we’ll know you’re alive.”

Donovan agreed. Every three days, he activated the device and Neil plotted latitude and longitude on maps to follow his route. Even so, Neil and Michelle slept only a few hours each night those first few weeks.

“I am very nervous …,” Michelle said then. “That has been really, really hard, not knowing where he’s at.”

Donovan, at times, wasn’t sure exactly where he was, either. The trails seemed confusing, the heat unbearable. In those moments, anxiety would begin to seep into his thoughts — “that feeling,” he wrote later, “when you are unsure about the road ahead.” But then he would gather

courage, bring himself back into the moment, summon a sense of peace.

At the start, his feet bled. The backpack rubbed raw a spot on his back. Hunger became a frequent companion — he thought often of his mother’s pasta and meatballs.

But fortune continually crossed his path in the form of curious children, interested villagers or, simply, a patch of shade under a tree.

Strangers gave him freshly baked warm pita bread. They invited him to share tea around campfires and offered space in their homes to sleep. They shared stories that bound them across cultures and beliefs.

“I was really taken aback at how hospitable people were and how people would open up their homes,” Donovan said.

“There were those moments when you kind of step back and think, `Wow, that was truly amazing.’”

In those instants, he said, God gave him wonder.

He prayed in mosques, saw the Dead Sea, visited Cana and other places of the Holy Land, navigated military checkpoints between Palestine and Israel. He walked about 650 miles, according to Neil’s map calculations, before flying from the Red Sea to Cairo at the end of October.

After two weeks in Egypt, he flew to Mumbai and walked another 500 or so miles, visiting ashrams where he learned to meditate, and Buddhist temples where he prayed, and, finally, homes in Calcutta run by Mother Teresa’s Sisters of Charity, where he volunteered for two months.

He massaged lotion into the withered arms of old men, bathed sick patients, prayed over the dead then carried them to crematoriums.

“In Calcutta, there are moments when you have incredible suffering,” Donovan said, “but somehow people find a way to be joyous.”

There was the blind man who always sang. There were the children who laughed and played amid the squalor. And the special kinship shared with others who helped. “… a lot of suffering,” Donovan repeated. “But a lot of people giving of themselves.”

From India, he traveled to Indonesia for a month.

And then, life told Donovan it was time to return home to the much-missed embrace of family and friends.

Near midnight on May 12, Neil and Michelle drove slowly into the arrival lane at DIA as a tall figure with a bushy beard and a backpack walked to the curb.

“He had a scarf on,” Michelle said. But “I would know him anywhere.”

At home, Donovan ate a big plate of pasta and meatballs, satiating the craving that hunger had instilled. He reveled in the warmth of family.

“He’s very strong,” Michelle said, “but I’m just glad he’s home.”

Neil agreed. “We don’t have to worry.”

They listened to their son’s stories, marveling at the generosity of strangers who gave to the man who is always giving to others.

Yet, Neil said, “his experience is probably hard to share because we can’t understand it — we didn’t live it.”

Donovan is in California now, helping develop programs for the mostly Hispanic and disadvantaged teens served by the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sonoma.

Life kept telling him, he said, this was his next chapter.

He’s written 10 short stories about his pilgrimage and has ideas for about 10 more. He’s writing them, primarily, for family and friends so they can know how letting go propels life to unfold in wondrous, unexpected ways.

He would like to return to the Denver area someday.

But “you never know,” Donovan said.

“The main thing is I’m present and have the courage to follow where life is taking me. We’ll see.”

Perhaps, for Donovan, the journey hasn’t ended at all.

State, district differ on waiver Board of Ed says DCSD must comply with READ Act

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com The Douglas County School District and the Colorado Department of Education have a legal “difference of opinion” over the district’s ability to use state legislation to opt out of a K-3 reading assessment.

A department of education official said the district can’t use the Innovation School Act to waive its participation in a state test.

The DCSD board adopted a resolution Sept. 2 to submit an innovation waiver to the Colorado Board of Education, noting specific concerns with a time-consuming series of state-mandated reading ability tests in the Reading to Ensure Academic Development Act. The resolution said several elementary schools instead will meet the goals of the READ Act “using locally developed and locally approved programs.” The board’s resolution authorized Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen to assist interested elementary schools in filing a waiver application.

But the CDE, which must approve all such plans, said the act can’t be used that

way.

“According to guidance from the attorney general’s office, the state board is not statutorily authorized to waive compliance with the READ Act,” education commissioner Robert Hammond wrote to Fagen in a Sept. 24 letter.

Hammond wrote that the results of the READ Act tests are included in the formula the CDE uses to calculate school district performance ratings, “… and thus cannot be waived by the state board under the Innovation Act.” An emailed response from DCSD spokeswoman Paula Hans said DCSD offered schools the possible waiver option after “much due diligence, including consultation with legal counsel.”

“DCSD understands that we have a difference of legal opinion/interpretation with the CDE regarding the authority and ability of the State Board of Education to provide relief to our students by waiving portions of the READ Act,” the email reads.

“Our legal interpretations may vary, but we are committed to continuing our collaborative work with CDE in the best interest of our students.”

Hammond’s letter was not released to Colorado Community Media by the CDE or DCSD, but through a community group.

Voices for Public Education filed open re-

cords requests with CDE and DCSD. Several community members insist the district isn’t being upfront about its reasons for wanting to use the act.

The 2008 legislation was designed to boost academic achievement, freeing schools from statutes and rules related to budgeting, curriculum, teacher contracts and other policies.

Voices’ co-founder Amy DeValk is among several parents who believe DCSD wants to become an innovation district, and remove itself from many state requirements. They submitted a petition asking DCSD to hold community meetings and explain its intent, but such meetings haven’t been scheduled.

“By putting innovation status on a school, I don’t think people realize it could open up a whole other can of worms,” DeValk said. “It gives the (DCSD) board of education the opportunity to have a lot more power than they already do. If this was a

school board that we had any confidence in or trusted, that would be one thing, but they’re not being upfront with what this means.

“In my opinion, they’re starting out with the READ Act because it seems innocuous and like something everybody could support. Once that school has innovation status attached to it, we don’t know what could happen.

“Everything they’ve done to this point with pay-for-performance, teacher evaluations, district turnover, public comment at BOE meetings, not holding public forums — if you line everything up, it all adds up to wanting to privatize the school district.”

At least 37 schools in four Colorado school districts have been granted innovation status. Most of them are in Denver Public Schools and Falcon School District 49. District 49, east of Colorado Springs in El Paso County, serves 15,000 students over a 133-square-mile rural and urban area.

ELECTION 2014: THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR

Hickenlooper proud of record Beauprez: State needs leader Governor says unusual approach isn’t indecision

Challenger doubles down on tough approach

By Vic Vela

By Vic Vela

John Hickenlooper doesn’t worry about whether people “get” him.

His “aw, shucks,” nerd-like personality and his imperfect — and sometimes meandering — way of speaking are a far cry from anything that resembles a polished, focusgroup-driven politician.

Through three elections, the quirky Hickenlooper brand has resonated with voters, as evidenced by a landslide win for governor in 2010, and before that, two decisive victories in Denver mayoral races.

But it is that same style that has left him wide open for political attacks. He has become fodder for Republican press releases that blast the governor as being a wishywashy failed leader who struggles while deciding over a breakfast menu, much less over areas of public policy.

“Obviously, I’m a different kind of politician, but that’s what most people said they wanted,” said Hickenlooper during a recent one-on-one interview with Colorado Community Media from inside his re-election campaign office in Denver’s Lower Highland neighborhood.

“They said they’re sick of the same old talking head who gets up in there in a robotic fashion and says the same platitudes that we’ve heard for a million years. That’s one of the reasons why people like me run for office.

I think people deserve more.”

Hickenlooper has heard the criticism before. But as he enters the final stretch of a tight re-election campaign against former Congressman Bob Beauprez, he prefers to talk about his economic record as governor.

There is no question that the economy has gained steam and jobs have been created under his watch. And he largely received praised for his response to crises that made national headlines, such as the Aurora theater shooting, wildfires and last year’s statewide flooding.

But Hickenlooper’s own words haven’t

It seems appropriate that a guy who likes to play in the dirt is involved in politics — a business where a lot of mud gets slung.

Yes, Bob Beauprez is a former congressman and the Republican nominee for governor, but he is also a bison rancher and an avid gardener who likes getting his hands dirty.

“I am obsessive about the condition of our yard and garden and all that,” Beauprez said during a recent one-on-one interview with Colorado Community Media. “I love playing in the dirt. I love plants and fussing with them and the beauty of them.”

When Beauprez isn’t tending to his plants, he is on the campaign trail trying to plant the seed in the minds of voters that Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper is a failed leader who should be voted out of office.

“He has this obsession with collaborating; wants to talk everything through, forever,” Beauprez said of Hickenlooper. “He can’t make a decision and he won’t make a decision.”

While Beauprez hammers away at Hickenlooper on a number of issues — gun control, the death penalty and hydraulic fracturing, just to name a few — he is also out to prove the late F. Scott Fitzgerald wrong, that there are indeed second acts in American lives.

Beauprez lost badly to Bill Ritter in a 2006 gubernatorial bid where he never recovered from the “Both Ways Bob” label that was pinned on him by a fellow Republican in the primary field.

It would be a quite a comeback story if Beauprez unseats Hickenlooper, especially in a state that has been trending Democratic in recent elections and where voters rarely have an appetite to vote out an incumbent governor. Hickenlooper is also backed by an economy that has grown

done him any favors this campaign.

Sometimes when the governor speaks, the result is reminiscent of the Grateful Dead during an off night — the trademark style is there, but it will sometimes run off the rails, leaving those listening scratching their heads.

His decision last year to grant a reprieve to death-row inmate Nathan Dunlap — who killed four people inside an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993 — was met with confusion and criticism.

And in television interviews this year, the governor said that he has moved away from being a supporter of the death penalty (he told voters in 2010 that he was in favor of capital punishment).

And he suggested during a CNN interview Hickenlooper continues on Page 13

stronger and created jobs on his watch.

But Beauprez believes voters now have the appetite to oust a governor who won his seat in a landslide in 2010 and whose quirky personality has both endeared him to supporters and irked his detractors.

Beauprez spent the entire summer blasting Hickenlooper for “failing to lead” on the issue of the death penalty, having been highly critical of the governor’s decision to grant a reprieve to death-row inmate Nathan Dunlap, who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993.

Beauprez said Hickenlooper should have either chosen to go forward with the execution or grant clemency, rather than Beauprez continues on Page 13

State transportation leaders look ahead Creative financing, expanded transit needed to ensure economic future

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The state’s transportation leaders envision passenger rail systems statewide, an overall infrastructure that will change and improve with technology and more private investment used to fund vital future projects.

Three of them spoke about the metro area’s transportation system during an Oct. 2 Denver South Economic Development Partnership breakfast at the Lone Tree Arts Center.

They praised south metro Denver leaders for partnering in financing the recently begun I-25 lane-balancing project, future C-470 expansion and the southeast light rail extension.

“This is the way transportation needs to work in Colorado and it doesn’t work that way everywhere,” said Colorado Department of Transportation executive director Don Hunt.

As fuel-efficient cars and changing driving habits decrease gas tax revenues, the men said similar collaborations are the key to future improvements. Without them, Colorado’s economic future could dim.

Hunt said Denver’s major thoroughfares likely will undergo one more reconstruction, but no more.

“After that, we’d better look to technology for the solution,” he said. “We’re not going to be able to widen them (anymore).

You could make the case after we finish the lane-balancing project, we have what we will have for the future. We need to learn to manage them better.”

Technology will play a major role in doing so, Hunt said, enabling highway engineers to adjust ramp meters and toll lanes almost instantly based on shifting demand.

“The long-term really has to do with better technology in vehicles and the entire smart highway system,” Hunt said. “We’re

not that far away from more automated vehicles that will travel more smoothly on the highway system and increase capacity.”

The continued expansion of mass transit also is key to easing pressure on highways.

“We want to find a way to accommodate growth for high-speed rail all over the state,” RTD general manager Phil Washington said. “I see high-speed rail coming.”

While some large portions of the planned FasTracks light- and commuterrail line remain unfunded, 2016 will see the opening of several long-awaited projects.

Among them: The 10-mile I-225 Line, the 6.5-mile Northwest Rail Line from Union Station to Westminster, and the 23-mile East Commuter Rail Line from Union Station to Denver International Airport.

“In 2016, with all these openings, we are going to have tremendous momentum in this state to do bigger and better things,” Washington said.

Groundbreaking on the $207-million southeast light rail extension, which will add three stops and 2.3 miles of track between Lone Tree’s Lincoln Station and the RidgeGate Parkway/I-25 interchange, is expected in 12 to 15 months. Lone Tree, Douglas County, RidgeGate and the Denver South Transportation Management Authority are contributing a total of nearly $40 million toward the line’s construction.

Creative partnerships like those and other financing avenues have earned the state a reputation for being visionary and progressive, Washington said. He intends to build on that.

“Everything that we talked about leading up to the FasTracks election is happening now,” he said, referring to the voterapproved 0.4-percent FasTracks tax passed in 2004. “We talked about creating 10,000 jobs at the height of construction; we’re at 10,300. We talked about injecting $2.7 billion into the local economy; we’re at $3.3 billion. We talked about transit-oriented communities popping up around our stations; there are two to three stories every week about some development happening around transit. Everything we thought would occur … is happening. And we’re

New plan for Lincoln Avenue roadwork

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com A major construction project on Lincoln Avenue was canceled because the contractors’ bids were much higher than county officials expected.

A plan to rebuild the road for $4.3 million has been scrapped in favor of a concrete panel-replacement project that will extend the life of the road another 10-15 years and cost roughly one-quarter of the amount anticipated.

The roadwork was scheduled to begin in mid-June immediately after the Parker Days Festival, but the construction bids came in “half a million to a million dollars over our estimates,” said Darrell Roberts, engineering permits, inspections and utilities manager for Douglas County’s public works department.

The county was planning to completely remove the existing road, which was built 30 years ago when Stonegate was developed, and stabilize the subgrade between Chambers Road and Keystone Boulevard. The work was expected to last one year.

The newest project will take only 4-6 weeks. The contractor is aiming for completion prior to Halloween, depending on weather, Roberts said.

Motorists started to notice closures on the east-west arterial road in late September, when preliminary work was done in anticipation of “crossover detours” that began to

direct traffic to one side of the road Sept. 29, Roberts said. The westbound and eastbound lanes will each be closed for 2-3 weeks, narrowing traffic to one lane in each direction.

Complaints from frustrated motorists have already started pouring in. County officials are directing Lincoln Avenue users to www.lincoln-ave-east.com, a website that provides detailed information on timing and detour maps. Electronic message boards are also informing drivers of what to expect and radio listeners can tune in 1620 AM for additional information.

While the timeline is considerably shorter for the new project, the cool weather and rains could delay the final concrete grinding until next year. It would take about a week or two, Roberts said.

The latest plan will have crews stabilizing the subgrade beneath the replaced panels with dowel bars, which act as load transfer mechanisms when vehicles pass over. Longitudinal tie bars will also be installed.

“We want to get the road into better condition than it is now, so we decided to move forward with that,” Roberts said.

Higher bids, along with a lower number of contractors making bids, impacted numerous projects in Douglas County over the summer.

Moving soils, changing water tables and 300 days of sunshine have degraded the existing roadway, along with the 34,000 vehicles that use Lincoln Avenue daily. The original project had been discussed for 10 years.

All 64 county clerks in Colorado must begin issuing same-sex marriage licenses after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear all appeals on gay-marriage bans Oct. 6, Colorado Attorney General John Suthers said.

Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Jack Arrowsmith said the county will follow the ruling, and according to county spokeswoman Wendy Holmes same-sex marriage licenses would begin being issued in the county on Oct. 7 “Our position in Douglas County is that we are committed to following the law in all matters governing the operation of the clerk and recorder’s office,” Arrowsmith said.

The ruling effectively paves the way for marriage equality for all people in Colorado.

“We have consistently maintained that we will abide by the Supreme Court’s determination on the constitutionality of marriage laws. By choosing not to take up the matter, the court has left the 10th Circuit ruling in place,” Suthers said in a statement. “We expect the 10th Circuit will issue a final order governing Colorado very shortly. Once the formalities are resolved, clerks across the state must begin issuing marriage licenses to all same-sex couples.

We will file motions to expedite the lifting of the stays in the federal and state courts and will advise the clerks when to issue licenses.”

Federal and state judges in Colorado have previously struck down the state’s ban on same-sex marriage but they also implemented stays in those cases pending U.S. Supreme Court action.

Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) applauded

the ruling.

“We are a stronger, better state when all couples are able to publically affirm their shared commitment and responsibilities to one another through marriage,” Udall said in a statement. “The U.S. Supreme Court’s move to let the Denver-based 10th Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision in favor of marriage equality stand is a win for all Coloradans.

“We should celebrate what this will mean for so many of our friends, family members and neighbors. And while this is an important milestone for our state and for other states around the country impacted today, we still have work to do to ensure equality for Americans nationwide.”

Andrew Romanoff, a Democratic candidate for the U.S. House (6th Congressional District), released a statement following the Supreme Court’s decision.

“Today’s news represents a major victory for every American who values freedom and fairness. I’m glad that Colorado will now be able to join a majority of the union in extending a fundamental right to all of our citizens.”

U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Denver, who serves the 1st Congressional District, spoke out in favor of the ruling as well.

“Today marks another important step toward full equality: the Supreme Court declined to take up appeals from gay marriage opponents in five different states,” she said in a statement. “This means that those five states — and others including Colorado — should soon overturn marriage bans. The Colorado Supreme Court should promptly accept this decision and let all loving couples choose to marry freely. And the day is soon coming that everyone in the nation will enjoy this basic right.”

County eases document process

By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com Douglas County has become the first county in the state to offer electronically certified documents to its residents.

“Douglas County was the first county in Colorado to receive an electronic document and now we’re the first to offer certified documents electronically,” Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Jack Arrowsmith said. “We want to be able to offer our residents and businesses the technological advantages that they need to run their lives and businesses.”

Douglas County had its first official receipt of an electronic document on Sept.17, 2003.

In the past, the only way for businesses and individuals to obtain certified copies of documents was travel to a county recording division office or request the paperwork be sent by the U.S. Postal Service — a time-consuming proposition.

Now, Douglas County is set up so that

important and official documents are only a click away and can be requested and received by email. Requests can also be made over the phone.

Documents can also be requested and received from out of state.

According to county recording manager Nancy Sotomayor, upon request, documents will be selected from the county’s database and then be certified by marking with an official image of the certification stamp in Adobe Writer. The official copies will then be saved and either printed out or emailed to the recipient.

“When you’re talking about certified documents, you’re talking about things that people usually need to get very quickly,” Arrowsmith said. “So, by being able to get those documents the same day in most cases, that saves time and energy on both ends.”

Documents cost 25 cents per page and $1 for certification.

Requests can be made in person, on the phone or online at douglas.co.us/recording.

GERARD HEALEY President and Publisher CHRIS ROTAR Editor RYAN BOLDREY Assistant Editor JANE REUTER Community Editor VIC VELA State Desk and Legislative Editor

Maybe that wasn’t a wrong turn after all During a business trip this past week with my associates, we found ourselves in North Carolina and relying heavily upon our GPS system for directions. And with today’s technology it is really almost impossible to get lost, unless of course we are either honest about our own operator errors, or fall victim to that relentless and somewhat irritating message: “Recalculating route.”

As we were returning to the hotel from our meeting, and admittedly only one exit away from our destination, we began a riveting discussion about golf. Well, truth be told, our golf games are anything but riveting, but I digress.

However, we were distracted just enough to miss our exit, and you guessed it, the next sound we heard was: “Recalculating route.”

Our instruction was to take the next left turn and make a U-turn onto the highway back towards the previous exit. As we made the transition into the left lane and waited for an opportunity to open up so that we could merge back into traffic, we all looked ahead at the same time and noticed a sign indicating that we were also at the entrance to the Billy Graham Library.

My associate and great friend John, who happened to be driving at the time, looked around the car and asked if we should check it out. An instant and unanimous “yes” easily

rose above the “recalculating route” message as we drove straight across the highway and into the parking lot of the Billy Graham Library. Now I would venture a guess that 80 percent if not 90 percent of everyone reading this column knows who Billy Graham is. But just for those who are unaware, I encourage you to check out the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the Billy Graham Library at www.billygrahamlibrary.org.

Now here’s the real deal with this week’s column. We were scrambling, busy, running a frenetic pace, traveling from city to city, and in a rush to get back to the hotel in time to do more work. Our missed exit and wrong turn slowed us down just enough to take us on an unscheduled detour and spend time in one of the most peaceful and truly inspiring places any of us has ever experienced. And as I share this story with you, I am reminded of

the other similar situations and experiences where I found myself on the road less traveled that brought me to an ocean, a park, a river, or some place or location that was unintended but ended up being the absolute right destination at that moment in my life.

You know what I mean, don’t you? We try to map or plan out our routes in life to keep up with the rush and crush of everything happening around us. And then just when we think we have it figured out or maybe just feel like we are finally catching up to where we think we need to be at this time of our life or where others think we need to be, we miss our exit, make a potentially wrong turn, and then magically and wonderfully find ourselves exactly where we need to be at that time.

Is there a peaceful and inspiring place you need to find? Are you ready and open to missing your exit, taking a wrong turn that just may take you to that place? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when you miss that next exit, it just might be a better than good week.

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

A little something for those arriving late If you are worried about me because I am retreading themes, and that I might be losing my grip, well, don’t be worried.

I hammer the same nails — like Smitty my dachshund, Jennifer my girlfriend, customer service representatives, lutefisk, hair loss, and constipation — partly because I don’t know when you came in.

This column is hundreds of columns old by now, but it might be just your first or second one, and maybe you really haven’t figured me out yet.

If you are new to “Quiet Desperation,” I can bring you up to speed. You will find a kindhearted man who is patient, generous, and tolerant. Who embraces life, and is outgoing. And who explores this beautiful world that God has created for us, and writes about it for readers like you.

It just won’t be me.

I am inert and cantankerous. Pessimism is my middle name. “Distrust is the foundation of a good relationship,” is my motto.

I think man caves and bachelor parties are dumb. Politicians give me the creeps. I despise the ubiquity of cell phones.

Motorists who tailgate should be pulled from their cars and hit repeatedly with a sock full of manure.

If you want Hallmark, I am not your writer.

I’m a little more like H.L. Mencken, and if you don’t know who he was, look him up.

I can write about almost anything because if I don’t know what I am talking about, I can make stuff up, and it gets printed. Don’t tell.

If you were to say “gophers,” for example, I

would start with the University of Minnesota.

They are the Golden Gophers. It’s a Big Ten school. The Big Ten is made up of 14 schools, not 10, which should give you some idea about the league’s concept of mathematics.

Whenever my school’s league expanded they changed the name. At one time it was the Pac-8, then the Pac-10, and now it’s the Pac-12.

Those yahoos in the Midwest want to hang on to an inaccurate designation. I refuse to let my son attend a Big Ten university because of it.

The school’s colors, maroon and gold, were chosen by a University of Minnesota English instructor named Mrs. Augusta Smith. The colors are nearly identical to USC’s colors, and therefore I always root for the team that Minnesota is playing. Unless it is USC. Bob Dylan was a University of Minnesota student for a little while, just before moving to New York, and turning everything around, including my life.

His songs are poems that came at me with

shining, mismatched words.

“He shot a fire on Main Street and filled it full of holes.”

Dylan, 73, will be performing in Denver on Nov. 1. I won’t be there. Crowds make me uncomfortable, mostly because they consist of people.

If you didn’t know much about me 450 words ago, you do now. I am not very interested in simple recitations or benign observations.

That’s one of the reasons why Jennifer and I get along so well. Our conversations are usually full of non-sequiturs and word play.

But not all of the time. We both experienced very negative marriages. Hers was to a man she met at Xavier, where she was a soccer star. Mine was to vodka. I was on the varsity at Smirnoff State.

This is being written a month before our third anniversary, the evening we met, at the Curtis Arts & Humanities Center in Greenwood Village.

I was giving an oil painting demonstration.

Now we are a couple of disambiguous gophers.

So that’s my introduction, if you are new to the column. Thanks for reading, hang by your thumbs, and write if you get work.

Centennial.

McDonald’s tone turned more serious as he talked about the move to Lone Tree.

Schwab’s metro-area workers now are scattered among three buildings around the Denver metro area.

“I always like to say we’re moving out of an office park and into a neighborhood,” he said. “We feel like we’re an integral part of the community already.”

McDonald said Schwab already has helped sponsor community events and worked with the city on cementing the future southeast light rail extension and the Lone Tree Link employee shuttle.

“We’re thrilled to not only be in the community but of the community,” he said.

At buildout, the 47-acre campus that features an outdoor amphitheater, rooftop garden, café and trails could house 4,000 employees.

“These jobs mean a lot to us,” Lone Tree mayor Jim Gunning said. “What that means to our sales tax base, what that means to our property values, is immeasurable.”

Schwab already has completed two, fivestory office buildings and is at work on its third, with completion expected in mid-2015.

“I think that we can look forward to more and more Schwabbies coming and buying homes,” Gunning said.

Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella translated the impact of all those employees into dollars.

“These 4,000 jobs … that’s $1.5 billion a year in economic stimulus through our community,” she said. “That’s staggering.”

Employee Tammi Torgler, who now works in Schwab’s leased space in Englewood, will be among the first to move to Lone Tree. Each cubicle comes with a workstation that gives employees the option to sit or stand, a feature

Attired in a red-and-white striped inmate’s uniform, Stone smiled at six adults sitting in the front row of the courtroom as he entered the chambers. He faced forward through the rest of the hearing, watching the proceedings. One of the women among the six repeatedly dabbed at her eyes with a tissue throughout the testimony.

Across the aisle, Colorado State Patrol Trooper Bellamann Hee watched the preliminary hearing with one of his legs — encased in a plastic support from the knee down — extended and resting on a chair.

Stone allegedly struck Hee with a car he had stolen on March 12 while the trooper attempted to deploy stop sticks on E-470.

Hee suffered serious injuries, including a

“We’re excited about the building,” she said. “The amenity space is incredible. They really did a nice job.”

Guests at the grand opening gave the facility positive reviews.

“It is a very impressive space,” said Greg Mills, an administrator at Kaiser Permanente’s new Lone Tree building. “The outdoor space, the rooftop garden — it all shows very thoughtful planning.”

“It’s absolutely fabulous,” said Laura Brandt, a director with the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation, “and it’s a significant statement Charles Schwab has made to the community about the quality of our community and our work force.”

Lone Tree community development director Kelly First surveyed the expanse of mountains visible from the building’s large, west-facing windows.

“We’ve been looking at plans so long, it’s nice to see the real product,” she said.

broken tibia.

The 29-year-old Stone had several addresses in the Denver metro area, but an officer testified Oct. 3 that the driver’s license he carried with him on March 12 showed he lived in Highlands Ranch.

A toxicology test showed Stone tested positive for methamphetamine, marijuana and Lorazepam. Lorazepam typically is used to treat anxiety.

Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputy Brian Benns, who reportedly used his patrol car to block Stone’s final attempt to carjack a fourth car after crashing at the intersection of Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street, also pursued Stone on foot.

When deputies arrested Stone a few minutes later, Benns said Stone’s “eyes started to roll back in his head,” prompting Benns to call paramedics.

“I didn’t know if he was on medication or (if it was) some drug issue,” Benns testified.

Most of the chase was captured on a

news helicopter’s video camera. Douglas County Sheriff’s Detective Mike Duffy went through the video clip by clip during the hearing, explaining each sequence of events.

Duffy also testified than an inmate housed with Stone told him Stone admitted he knew the 4-year-old was in the car while he was driving it.

Stone’s 26 counts include attempted murder, kidnapping, assault, aggravated

motor vehicle theft, robbery, vehicular eluding, criminal mischief and leaving the scene of an accident.

In addition to the March 12 incident, Stone had multiple outstanding warrants in various jurisdictions. Charges listed in those warrants included burglary, auto theft, and failure to appear on drug-related charges.

Cherry Creek trail gets link to park Bayou Gulch facility gains new connection

By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com A new trail will connect Bayou Gulch Regional Park to the Cherry Creek Regional Trail.

Douglas County Open Space director Cheryl Matthews said the new connector trail will go from Bayou Gulch Regional Park, located at 4815 Fox Sparrow Road south of Parker, through Bayou Gulch Open Space on the south side of Bayou Gulch Road, under Highway 83 west to the Cherry Creek Regional Trail.

Bayou Gulch Regional Park hosts a recreation area, an off-leash dog park, a newly constructed mountain-bike skills course, 1.48 miles of concrete trail and 4.68 miles of soft-surface multi-use trail.

“We know from talking with some of the people living around the open space that they really wanted to be able to connect to Cherry Creek,” Matthews said.

The connector trail extends from the west side of the park where it crosses Bayou Gulch Road at a self-activated stoplight.

A soft-surface trail encircles the 276acre open space and is open to pedestrians and equestrians only.

The connector trail running west from

where it crosses Bayou Gulch Road to the Cherry Creek Regional trail is open to pedestrians, bicyclists and equestrians.

The peripheral trail and the connector trail provide four miles of public access for users.

According to Matthews, the peripheral trail may be closed from time to time during the summer months to accommodate equestrian events at the Colorado Horse Park; the connector trail will remain open at all times.

The horse jumps and the trails leading to the jumps are the private property of the Colorado Horse Park and are not open to the public.

“I’m not sure too many people know about it yet, but the trail is open to the public,” Matthews said. “No one will get mad if they see you riding on it. It’s ready to be enjoyed.”

The mountain-bike skills course is almost finished and should be officially open to the public in the next couple of weeks.

Douglas County has protected 49,272 acres of open space through both purchase and conservation easements.

There are 10 trailheads accessing nearly 77 miles of soft-surface trails that are available to the public for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding.

In addition, the county manages 13 active parks, the Cherry Creek Regional Trail, the East-West Regional Trail, and the High Line Canal Trail from Titan Road and Highway 85 to Waterton Road.

Capitol dome reopens after long renovation Three-year project restores iconic structure

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Five words that do not normally go together when talking about a governmentbacked project are: On time and under budget.

But that feat was what state officials were hailing on Oct. 2 as part of a ceremony to mark the reopening of the Capitol dome.

A three-year, $17 million restoration project was needed to fix and renovate a 120-year-old dome that has seen weathercaused deterioration over the years.

Gov. John Hickenlooper said the project’s success is “a symbol of the resilience of this state.”

“This is a gift we’re giving for generations in the future,” he said.

Colorado’s harsh freeze and thaw cycles made the repairs necessary. In 2006, corrosion to the dome caused a 10-pound piece of iron to fall, which led to the closing of the observation deck and the installation of a netting system.

Repairs commenced after lawmakers created a package of bipartisan bills four years ago to fund the restoration.

During much of the project, the dome was cloaked in scrim and scaffolding. It wasn’t until early this year that part of the dome was revealed from under the draping.

Workers replaced the deteriorating metal fasteners with stainless steel. The

The Capitol dome underwent a three-year renovation project that cost $17 million. The ovservation deck of the 120-year-old buidling just re-opened to the public this past week. original copper panels were replaced and the lightning protection system was enhanced, according to state architect Larry Friedberg.

The dome was re-gilded with 65 ounces of gold that came from parts of Colorado that included Cripple Creek and was later prepared in Florence, Italy.

“Today, the sun shines bright on this beautiful October day,” said state Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch.

The dome observation deck — which offers spectacular views of Denver — was

Top district communications employee leaves position Watson also served as foundation interim director

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cinamon Watson, the Douglas County School District’s lead communications employee, has left the district “to pursue new opportunities,” according to DCSD. Watson’s last day was Sept. 26.

Watson was DCSD’s community relations officer. Her salary, as of July 2014, was just under $129,000 — the highest among the communications’ department’s employees.

She also was interim executive director of the Douglas County Educational Foundation from late 2012 to 2014. Watson could not be reached for comment.

DCSD did not say if it will hire a new communications department employee.

“We thank her for her service and wish her well in her future endeavors,” reads an emailed statement from DCSD spokeswoman Paula Hans. “The community relations team is evaluating needs and will move forward in a way that best supports our students, staff, parents and community members.”

Before coming to DCSD in 2012, Watson was a principal at Republican campaign

consulting firm Phase Line Strategies, deputy campaign manager for the successful re-election effort of former Colorado Governor Bill Owens, communications director for the Colorado Republican Party and Majority Communications Director for the Colorado State Senate. She started her career as the American Legislative Exchange Council’s (ALEC) legislative director for education and empowerment policy.

ALEC’s model legislation created by state legislators and the private sector includes an Innovation Schools and School Districts Act, as well as a Parental Choice Scholarship Program Act. The district board Watson recently authorized submission of an innovation waiver for a state-required test under the Innovation Schools Act, and DCSD’s voucher program is more formally known as the choice scholarship program.

Watson is married to former Republican House majority leader Chris Paulson, a lawyer who served in the state legislature with Owens.

Jason Christensen is now executive director of the Douglas County Educational Foundation.

Man dies crossing Lincoln Avenue Englewood resident was walking against the traffic signal when struck Staff report A 52-year-old Englewood man was killed while crossing Lincoln Avenue at Oswego Street late Oct. 3. Thomas J. Wickham died of multiple blunt force injuries in the accident that occurred at about 10:11 p.m. in eastern Lone Tree.

Police said Wickham was crossing northbound against the traffic signal when he was struck by westbound traffic.

Though the case remains under investigation, no one has been charged in connec-

tion with the incident. Drivers who spoke with police said the light for westbound traffic was green at the time of the accident.

Wickham was transported from the scene to Littleton Adventist Hospital, where he later died from his injuries.

Several new businesses and an apartment complex have recently been constructed along the portion of Lincoln Avenue between Lone Tree and Parker, which means pedestrian traffic has increased, noted Lone Tree Police Sgt. Ryan Gallegos.

“It was an unfortunate situation,” he said. “It was dark and those cars just didn’t see him.”

Gallegos said victims’ advocates were on call and available for those who’d been involved in the accident.

Rick and Erma Kircheis of Belmont, Mich. look out on the city of Denver from the newly re-opened Capitol observation deck on Oct. 2. Photos by Vic Vela reopened to the public shortly after the ceremony.

For visitors like Josiah and Hannah Goering of Chicago, the timing couldn’t have been more impeccable.

The two were visiting Colorado and specifically had a trip to the Capitol on their to-do list because Hannah’s grandparents had taken a picture of themselves on the

Capitol steps during their honeymoon some 67 years ago.

“We came here to recreate the photo,” she said. “We even brought black and white film.”

Had their trip occurred a week earlier, they wouldn’t have been able to view Denver’s skyline from atop the Capitol.

“It’s a happy coincidence,” she said.

Secretary of state hopefuls target new path Williams, Neguse both hoping to avoid Gessler’s drama

right the vote, but empower more people to exercise that constitutional right because it is a right that we shouldn’t take for granted,” Neguse said.

Williams said Neguse’s characterization of him just isn’t the case.

“I’m the only one (in the race) who has run an office and run elections and I’ve done it well,” he said.

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com In the race to become Colorado’s next secretary of state, two candidates are touting their qualifications while distancing themselves from the man who currently holds the post.

Republican El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams will take on Democrat Joe Neguse, a University of Colorado regent, in a race to become the state’s elections chief.

The two are seeking to fill a seat that will be soon vacated by current Secretary of State Scott Gessler. The Republican opted against seeking a second term and instead launched an unsuccessful bid for governor earlier this year.

Gessler has famously earned the nickname “honey badger,” born from a style of bare-knuckled politics that has rallied Republicans and roiled Democrats. Gessler has had several public battles with Gov. John Hickenlooper and legislative Democrats over election policy and his handling of the secre-

tary of state’s office.

That style is something that both Williams and Neguse say they want to avoid if elected as Gessler’s successor.

“I think some of the ways he presented things were too polarizing,” said Williams.

Williams said Gessler “has done a lot of good things,” but added: “We have different styles.”

However, Neguse sees a lot of Gessler in Williams. Neguse believes Williams has a record of “focusing on efforts that make it harder for people to vote.”

“For me, it is important to have a secretary of state who is not only going to protect the

Williams served for eight years as an El Paso County commissioner prior to being elected county clerk and recorder in 2010.

Williams said he is proud of the customer service he has provided for four years and is especially proud of his work during the 2012 Waldo Canyon Fire, when many voters were being evacuated the same day of a primary election.

“We counted every ballot, made sure they were all secure and made every statutory deadline despite being evacuated for the fire,” Williams said.

Williams has also presided over three recall elections in as many counties. He was asked by officials in Teller and Saguache counties to handle local recall elections there, and he oversaw his own county’s highly publicized recall election, which led to the ouster of then-state Senate President John Morse.

Neguse was elected to represent the state’s 2nd Congressional District on the CU Board of Regents. His public service record also includes having served as a commissioner on the Boulder Housing Authority and being a Capitol staffer for former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff.

Neguse is a first-generation American whose parents are from Africa.

“The right to vote really is sacred and, as the son of immigrants, I can tell you in a very visceral way what it means to be able to have the right to vote and to exercise that right to vote,” he said.

If elected, Neguse said he would work to create a “one-stop shop” business platform to make it easier for business owners to navigate service options. He also wants to dispatch office representatives across the state for greater service accessibility.

Divided on reforms

Neguse and Williams have different opinions on key voting issues that will shape their policies.

Neguse is a supporter of a 2013 elections overhaul law that created same-day registration in Colorado and requires that all ballots be mailed to registered voters.

Neguse believes the law will enable more people to participate in elections, but Williams has been an outspoken critic of the law.

Williams said the law is costly to counties and is unfair to voters who don’t wish to receive ballots in the mail because of security issues.

Williams — whose opposition to the elections reform law puts him among the minority of county clerks in the state — also is concerned that the law will lead to increased cases of voter fraud.

“Colorado had the highest percentage turnout in the country in 2012,” Williams said. “The system was working very well as it was.”

Neguse believes Williams’ opinion on the law misses the mark. He points to safeguards that are in place that allow clerks real-time information when votes are being cast, which is intended to root out fraud.

“Same-day registration has existed in Wyoming for decades,” Neguse said. “It has existed in Idaho for decades. It’s worked well.

Empirical evidence shows more people participate.”

Williams supports voter identification laws and doesn’t think that showing a utility bill is a valid form of ID. He concedes that voter fraud is rare, but he cites two recent El Paso County elections that were decided by a single vote.

“We don’t have bank robberies that often either,” he said. “But (if a bank) put all its money in a pile and put a note on the pile and said, `Hey customers, just sign an affidavit that you’ve taken no more money than you have deposited in this bank,’ that would be an absurd result.”

But Neguse doesn’t think that voters want “a secretary of state who is going to be focused on dismantling those reforms.”

“That should be something we should strive for — making it easier to vote for those people who are eligible to vote,” he said.

Hickenlooper Continued from Page 4

that clemency for Dunlap may still end up being an option. The Hickenlooper campaign has said he was responding to a hypothetical question and maintains that Dunlap will die in prison.

Also this year, the governor caused a stir over remarks on gun-control legislation that he gave to a group of sheriffs meeting in Aspen. There, he apologized to lawmen for not better including them in the legislative process that led to him signing measures into law that created universal background checks on gun sales and banned high-capacity ammunition magazines.

Those measure were opposed by the majority of sheriffs in the state, many of whom were onetime plaintiffs in an unsuccessful lawsuit against the new laws.

Those are a few examples of what has led to a lambasting of Hickenlooper over his “indecisiveness” and “failed leadership” on the part of Beauprez and the rest of the Repub-

Beauprez Continued from Page 4

taking a middle road.

Beauprez has also hammered away at Hickenlooper for his handling of issues surrounding hydraulic fracturing. Beauprez has been critical of the governor’s creation of a fracking task force that is charged with providing lawmakers with recommendations on oil and gas drilling issues.

Beauprez believes the oil and gas industry is already over-regulated and that Hickenlooper’s fielding of a commission is a yet another example of his “kicking the can down the road” approach to governing.

“At some point he crossed a line of `I just want to get along and make everybody happy,’ to `Where do you want to take us and how do you want us to get there?’ Lead,” Beauprez said of Hickenlooper.

Image not cuddly

Beauprez is not afraid to attack, either through political ads or on the debate stage.

But some in the media have recently wondered whether Beauprez risks coming across as being too rigid — or even mean.

Hickenlooper said his political opponents are “looking for anything they can get” to defeat him, while ignoring his accomplishments.

The governor said he is proud of his work during the flooding that ravaged many parts of the state last year. While rain was wreaking havoc, the governor held a meeting with Colorado Department of Transportation administrators, during which he urged them to reopen roads around Lyons and Estes Park more than a month ahead of the time they believed was possible.

Had those roads not reopened when they did, Hickenlooper believes businesses in

those small towns would have shut down.

“We made that decision in 48 hours while the rain was still falling — and we did it,” he said. “That’s indecision?”

In spite of a barrage of attack ads that target him, Hickenlooper sticks to the promise he made to voters years ago — that his campaign would never run a negative ad.

“Sure it works,” Hickenlooper said of negative campaigning. “If all you care about is winning one short-term election, sure, go out and have a field day; load the cannons and fire off the missiles.”

“But, at the end of the election, after all those negative ads, no one is satisfied ...

Whoever the winner is, there’s so many negative ads against them, they are going to have a hard time leading.”

Hickenlooper said he doesn’t regret any decision he’s made in office. And he points to an economy that has been among the best in the nation in many post-recession categories.

The Business Insider website ranks Colorado’s economy tops in the nation. And Forbes magazine recently listed the state among the best states for businesses.

However, other economic models show

the rest of the state lagging behind the strengthening Denver metro area’s economy with median household incomes decreasing over the last seven years.

Still, Hickenlooper believes his stewardship has helped the state move in a stronger economic direction.

“I sit there and look back over the past four years (and) I think during all the significant issues, I think we made the right decisions,” he said.

Hickenlooper said this is “probably” his last political campaign and that he has “no intention” of running for national office.

Hickenlooper said he never imagined that he would be running a re-election campaign for governor while he was opening the Wynkoop Brewery in lower downtown Denver in 1988, Colorado’s first brewpub and microbrewery.

“If you would have talked to me even in 1998, I would have said, `No way. Why would I do that? Those guys get attacked,’” he said of running for political office.

“Can you really make a difference? Is it really worth the sacrifice? Well, it turns out you really can make a difference. And in my opinion it was worth the sacrifice.”

A Denver Post article described Beauprez’s performance during a Sept. 30 debate the newspaper hosted as “practiced and polished — if sometimes stern in his conservative views ...”

Left-leaning columnist Mike Littwin of the Colorado Independent said Beauprez came across as angry and bully-like during an Oct. 3 debate in Pueblo.

“There’s a very thin line between being aggressive and, well, being a jerk,” Littwin wrote.

During a tense moment of the debate, Beauprez was criticized by Hickenlooper for seeming to invoke the 2013 murder of Department of Corrections chief Tom Clements.

Clements was murdered outside of his Black Forest home, allegedly by Evan Ebel, an inmate who had been in solitary confinement just days before he was paroled.

Beauprez asked Hickenlooper: “What do you have to say to women who are widows who have orphans because of parolees that you have let out of state correction direct from solitary confinement?”

Hickenlooper blasted Beauprez’s comments.

“For you to make his murder part of a political gambit, I think is reprehensible,” the governor said.

Beauprez — who did not specifically

mention Clements during the exhange — made no apologies about his comments when asked them during his interview with Colorado Community Media.

“It’s true,” Beauprez said as he leaned over the table for emphasis. Beauprez cited a 2013 Denver Post article that reported that 110 parolees were let directly out of solitary confinement and onto the streets in a single year.

As for whether people think he comes across as prickly, Beauprez said, “I take the job seriously.”

“Most people that know me know that I’m a pretty good grandpa, that I’m a pretty good dad. I’ve been a very good husband, so I’ve got that side to me as well,” he said. “But this isn’t about who you want to go have a beer with or shoot a game of pool with. This is about who can lead this state.”

Beauprez, who is pro-life, has also been on the defensive on women’s issues of late.

Although abortion and contraception topics have played a big role in Colorado’s U.S. Senate race, they only became a focal point in the campaign when Beauprez said during a Denver Post debate that intrauterine devices (IUDs) are abortifacients, meaning a drug that causes abortions.

Beauprez’s view is not backed by the Federal Drug Administration, which classifies the device as one that prevents pregnancies,

not ends them.

Beauprez told Colorado Community Media that he believes women should use whatever birth control they want, “but I don’t think taxpayers ought to be funding that.”

Beauprez said that when Hickenlooper and Democrats try to attack Republicans on issues like abortion and birth control, they are guilty of trying “to change the subject.”

“People are so hungry for people to address the real issues in this campaign, but (Democrats) don’t want to talk about it,” he said. With voters set to receive mail ballots soon, it is hard for Beauprez or any other office-seeker to get away from politics. When he does, Beauprez likes to retreat to his bison ranch, time away that he said is “almost like therapy.”

When asked if there are similarities between bison ranching and politics, Beauprez let out a hearty chuckle and said, “Good question.”

“With bison you don’t change their minds much,” he said. “You kind of have to convince them, cajole them, but mostly you have to encourage them and wait it out and be patient.

“And maybe that is a parallel (to politics), that you can’t always do it on your time, your schedule, your way. You’ve got to make sure and bring them along.”

lican Party.

“Where have I been indecisive?” Hickenlooper said. “Nathan Dunlap? The (Colorado) Constitution gives you three choices: Execution, clemency or a reprieve. We chose reprieve two months before the decision was made.”

“And background checks ... I did say I wish we had gone and allowed the other side a greater opportunity to discuss, but I never went back on the decision.”

Man in chase to spend Police arrest woman after high-speed pursuit rest of life in prison Judge sentences CJ Galley for endangering public, police

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com A Douglas County judge ordered CJ Galley to spend 169 years in prison for leading a high-speed chase that prosecutors said endangered the public and pursuing officers.

Galley, 24, was convicted on 18 criminal counts stemming from a February 2013 chase that seriously injured an officer and wreaked havoc on roads in Parker and Castle Rock. The Northglenn man was found guilty in June of attempted first-degree murder of a police officer, among several other felony charges.

Before handing down the sentence in a packed courtroom Oct. 2, Douglas County District Court Judge Richard Caschette said Galley “taunted law enforcement” in the months prior to the chase, which happened when the North Metro Drug Task Force attempted to execute a felony warrant on Galley for assaulting an officer. Caschette said he showed a long pattern of disregard and disrespect for laws, and openly doubted Galley’s potential to rehabilitate and contribute to society if given the chance.

The eight officers who addressed Caschette during the hearing asked him to impose the maximum sentence allowed by law. That included former Commerce City police officer Rob Feeney, whose injuries from the incident forced him to retire from law enforcement. Galley ran over Feeney with a stolen Ford F-350 when he made his initial escape.

“My life changed forever in the matter of a few minutes,” Feeney said, adding that Galley cared more Galley about momentary freedom than Feeney’s life.

Galley hung his head during the comments, then delivered a brief statement to the court, saying he was sorry for the harm he caused, including Feeney’s career-ending injuries. He became emotional when the judge read the sentence.

Because his case involves violent crimes, Galley will have to serve at least 75 percent of his sentence.

Emily Wickham, Galley’s defense attorney, said she plans to file an appeal.

Galley has prior convictions for theft, burglary and probation violations, and has an active case in Adams County for racketeering.

Suspect faces long list of charges in Oct. 4 incident

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com A 29-year-old Colorado Springs woman faces a long list of charges after authorities say she led Douglas County Sheriff’s deputies on a high-speed interstate chase at about 6 p.m. Oct. 4.

Velia Rodriguez drove at speeds reaching 100 mph during the less-than15-minute chase, according to the sheriff’s office.

Law officers first were alerted to a car traveling at a high rate of speed on northbound I-25 south of Castle Rock at about 5:50 p.m. Officers tried and failed to catch up with the 1999 Dodge Stratus as it sped through Castle Rock at about 6 p.m. It was spotted on Lincoln Avenue a few minutes later.

But Rodriguez reportedly struck two sheriff’s deputies’ vehicles and two other

vehicles when officers attempted to contact her there. She then got back onto I-25, driving south with officers in pursuit.

Sheriff’s deputies used their vehicles to box Rodriguez’s car in and stop her flight near the Founders Parkway exit in Castle Rock at about 6:10 p.m.

Her charges include first-degree assault on a police officer, criminal mischief, first-degree menacing, suspicion of driving under the influence, reckless driving, Rodriguez reckless endangerment and driving with a suspended license.

“Obviously, public safety was paramount” throughout the incident, said Douglas County Sheriff’s Sgt. Ron Hanavan. “But once she hit police and civilian cars, her driving was absolutely a danger to the community.”

Rodriguez is being held in the Douglas County Jail on $51,000 bond.

Attack ads flood Colorado airwaves Big-money interests not always clear

By Katie Kuntz

Rocky Mountain PBS I-News Campaign attack ads dominating television airwaves across the state depict Colorado’s senatorial candidates as extreme, harmful and woefully out of step with their fellow Coloradans.

Crossroads GPS — a conservative political action committee headed by former George W. Bush administrator Karl Rove — and the National Republican Senatorial Committee portray U.S. Sen. Mark Udall as a hapless sycophant of President Obama’s.

Their ads assert that Udall’s clueless support of the Affordable Care Act — known as Obamacare — has harmed Coloradans one and all.

Liberal groups like the Senate Majority PAC and Next Generation Climate Action depict Udall’s opponent, Colorado Republican Congressman Cory Gardner, as a grim-faced misogynist, whose views on issues important to women are medieval, at best.

The Udall-Gardner contest, not incidentally, is one of the races expected to determine which party controls the U.S. Senate after the Nov. 4 election. So far, the outside groups have spent almost three times as much as the candidates themselves.

“If you run around the country there are maybe 10 states that have really competitive races and Republicans need to win six Senate seats to win the Senate — Colorado is very competitive,” said political analyst Floyd Ciruli. “It’s not quite a Super Bowl, that’d be the presidential race — but we’re in a very major, close playoff.”

And it may come as no surprise that millions are being spent by outside organizations to paint the two Colorado candidates into very dark corners. But what might be surprising is comparing those funding the negative attacks with what their primary interests truly are.

Gardner

Udall

Tricks of the trade

A Rocky Mountain PBS I-News analysis of Federal Communications Commission and Federal Election Commission data, as well as reports collected by the Center for Responsive Politics, demonstrate how the playbook works.

First, use polarizing issues to ignite voters.

Thomas Steyer, a California billionaire who has drawn attention for his philanthropy and activism for environmental causes, has mastered this first play.

Steyer is the lead financial backer for Next Generation Climate Action, which has so far spent more than $1 million in this state’s largest television markets, Denver and Colorado Springs.

Two of the most widely aired ads from Streyer’s organization — named “Keep Out” and “Not Extreme?” — assail Gardner for his positions against birth control and abortion and same-sex marriage, all of which are highly polarizing issues.

But Next Generation Climate Action does not, as an organization, list any interest in policies related to abortion, marriage equality or birth control. To be fair, the ads do briefly mention climate change, scoffing that Gardner “thinks he knows better than the scientists, NASA and the U.S. military on climate change.”

“It is a straight-out brawling competition,” Ciruli said. “The people who play it may be personally idealistic, but in the way they play the game they are totally realists, and research shows them that climate change is not nearly as effective at moving

voters as things like reproductive rights.”

Similarly, other groups whose primary interests are oil and gas development or the energy business attack Udall’s support of the Affordable Care Act. While their true concern might be approval for the Keystone pipeline, as an example, they’re betting that Obamacare is still such a negatively charged issue that it can help sink the environmentally minded Udall.

Sometimes they might mention energy issues, but not as a primary focus.

The second power play works by cloaking one’s self-interests in charitable or nonprofit political giving, as modern masters Sheldon Adelson and David and Charles Koch have demonstrated.

Adelson and his wife, Miriam, donated $23 million during the 2012 presidential cycle to Crossroads GPS on behalf of the nonprofit Adelson Drug Clinic and Adelson’s corporation, Las Vegas Sands, according to files from the Federal Election Commission.

Sheldon Adelson, listed as the world’s eighth wealthiest man by Forbes, with a net worth of more than $31 billion, has drawn wide attention to his heavy contributions to campaign finance. He has also been litigating a federal lawsuit aimed at his overseas casinos.

Similarly, David and Charles Koch have been intimately linked with Americans for Prosperity, Freedom Partners and Crossroads GPS in the past, but their contributions this cycle are not known.

“Nonprofit political groups do not have to disclose donors,” said Viveka Novak, editorial and communications director for the Center for Responsive Politics. “So we could only identify organizations that filed 990s (nonprofit tax forms) and that wouldn’t include individuals or corporations, so there are still a lot of donors or donations no one would know about.”

Adelson, the Koch brothers and many other politically active billionaires and multimillionaires across the political spectrum are able to maintain privacy and give endless funds following the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision, which held that political spending is a form of protected speech under the First Amendment.

Donors work both sides

There’s still another trick in the play-

book, and that’s playing both sides. By contributing to competing candidates, it can be hard to lose, the reasoning goes.

Hedge funds and international investment banks are among the leading campaign contributors in the United States — and they donate in almost equal amounts to both Democratic and Republican committees.

Consider Renaissance Technologies, a New York hedge fund that in 2013 managed an estimated $25 billion.

This year, founder and retired CEO James H. Simons was ranked by Forbes among the world’s wealthiest people at $12.5 billion. Of the millions of dollars Simons and the current CEO of Renaissance, Robert Mercer, have donated to campaign groups so far this year, about $3 million went to liberal organizations, and $3 million went to conservatives.

“This firm, it’s got money everywhere, it’s invested in things that could benefit from both parties,” Ciruli said. “Some of it could just be personal, but often it is driven by a strategy that just makes sense.”

This company’s lobbying records in 2014 show that its primary focus is to avoid higher tax rates for hedge funds — an issue almost totally ignored in the majority of Colorado’s campaign ads. In fact, of more than 30 ads reviewed by I-News and truthtested by 9News, only one ad even briefly mentioned “tax rates for companies overseas.”

The Blackstone Group is also a top hedge fund contributor to both the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

These committees have already spent $3.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, on campaign ads in Denver, bashing either Gardner or Udall.

“TV ads are number one, the overwhelming most important tool in winning one of these campaigns,” Ciruli said. “If Channel 9 has another minute (for advertising), you can bet it will get bought.”

October is reminder of disease fight

“Castle Rock Feed and Supply,” watercolor by Cindy Welch will be exhibited at QRstorytelling Gallery in October. Courtesy photos

Artist makes splash with exhibit Watercolorist Cindy Welch shows wares at QRstorytelling Gallery

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Additions to the ongoing Cindy Welch Collection — watercolors of local iconic landmarks — will be exhibited starting Oct. 10 at the QRstorytelling Gallery in Castle Rock. They will remain on permanent display, according to gallery director, Lucia McConnell who also exhibits earlier releases by Welch.

Cindy Welch is a Colorado native, who started creating art at an early age, winning awards in grade school and at Welch Thomas Jefferson High School in Denver, including a full tuition scholarship to Rocky Mountain College of Arts and Design.

She won first place in the National Arts Program, Front Range Showcase in 2011 in Castle Rock, where she has lived for 25 years. She is a member of Greater Castle Rock Art Guild and is represented by the QRstorytelling Gallery.

As per her medium, she said, “I love the exciting surprises of watercolor. Mingling colors, the mixing of water and paint, pouring, masking… There’s always something new. My passion is color and making an image more exciting to the viewer with great color while still maintaining a level of realism.”

Note: What may look simple to the untrained eye actually takes a great deal of skill and control — watercolor is a tricky medium to master.

October reminds those of us who are breast cancer survivors how lucky we are for having lived through the journey.

Ours is a sorority we never wanted to join. But we did unwillingly and lived to tell it. For me, a multi-year survivor (it’s funny that I no longer remember how many years), October is also a month to support breast cancer patients who are on the path to survival through donating to a charity.

My wish in October, and the rest of the year, is for a cure in my lifetime that will annihilate this insidious disease.

Rich Grant bids adieu

Rich Grant, Denver’s biggest booster who’s worked at Visit Denver for nearly 35 years, has finally set a retirement date — Dec. 31, his 35th anniversary with the Convention and Visitors Bureau.

“It’s been a wild and truly wonderful ride, and I had the great privilege of working with the best communications team ever assembled: Deborah Park, Sarah Welch, Katie Adamson Converse, Shannon Dexheimer, Meredith Mirrington, Jennifer Elving Asbury, Angela Berardino, Carrina Waneka, Jill McGranahan, Joy Long Meadows, Andrea Burns, Diane Bechamps, Kim Farin and Carolyn Livingston,” Grant posted on his Facebook page Tuesday.

“And of course, it’s been great working with (CEO) Richard Scharf and the rest of the amazing Visit Denver team. I’ll still be around consulting. And I imagine there might be a retirement party in the future. Or two. Or three. Cheers!”

Grant has been toying with his retirement date for months, but settled on his 35th work anniversary and his 65th birthday as the right time.

“When I discovered there were 12 new breweries in Denver that I hadn’t been to, I realized — I don’t have enough free time!” he said.

I have worked and cocktail-partied with Grant during my 21 years as a Denver-based journalist. Grant, indeed, is Denver’s biggest booster even when he’s trying to convince me that a story that really isn’t a story deserves front-page attention. He’s been a staunch supporter of our fair city, and will be sorely missed.

Woman’s stage career blossoming ‘I Do! I Do!’ actress is Highlands Ranch mom

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Suzanne Nepi of Highlands Ranch happily opened to sold-out audiences in the first weekend of “I Do! I Do!” at the Vintage Theatre in Aurora. She hopes lots of young people see it, since it hasn’t been done in the area recently.

She shares the stage with veteran actor/ director Brian Walker Smith in a chronicle of the 50-year marriage of Agnes and Michael Snow (1895-1945), based on Jan de Hartog’s play, “The Four Poster.” Tom Jones wrote the book and lyrics and Harvey Schmidt wrote the music for the popular piece, which Nepi calls “a play, with music.”

Nepi speaks highly of Smith — “he’s lovely.” And she talks about her song,

“What is a Woman?’’ It is “my life as we speak — every woman from 40 to 80 will relate to that song.” The piece was original written for Mary Martin and Robert Preston, Nepi said.

Nepi majored in theater at the University of Maryland, and met her husband Mark after graduation when he was in the pit band for a production she was performing in.

The family moved to Colorado about 16 years ago. Mark had been at the Air Force Academy and liked Colorado, so they welcomed an opportunity.

Like many in Colorado’s theater community, the family had connections with “Magic Moments” productions that benefit the handicapped.

Nepi is getting increasingly active in both straight and musical theater now that her children are older. Mary, a ThunderRidge High School alumnae, graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in theater and is in Los Angeles launching a career,

Nepi was cast in “Spring Awakening” last year with Ignite Theatre Company and sang in “The Drowsy Chaperone” in the Stapleton summer production. “I feel very blessed,” she said. “This city is amazing to me … Lots of great regional theater.

Chicken special is back

I cornered Denver restaurant mogul Frank Bonanno at one of his booths during Denver Food and Wine recently, and begged, pleaded and cajoled him into bringing back chicken Tuesdays at Lou’s Food Bar, 1851 W. 38th Ave. And although I can’t take total credit for the return of one of my favorite restaurant deals — a half fried chicken (naked, medium or Nashville hot) with two sides and a draft for $20 per person — I certainly added to the popular demand to bring back that

Whales are big deal at Denver museum New Zealand exhibit runs until February

IF YOU GO The Denver Museum of Nature & Science is located at 2001 Colorado Blvd., Denver. For information, visit dmns. org or call 303-370-6000.

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Whales, the world’s mightiest animals, date back more than 50 million years and are the subject of legends, films and travel.

These giants intrigue people of all ages who love to explore aspects of the underwater world. Living in a landlocked state, as we do in Colorado, doesn’t diminish the fascination with ocean life.

“Whales: Giants of the Deep” opens Oct. 10 at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and runs through Feb. 16.

The exhibit is on tour from the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, which has the largest collection of marine mammals in the world.

Readers may be aware of a long relationship between the Maori people of New Zealand and whales, and the custom of whale riding, made famous by the film “Whale Rider” some years ago.

Changing attitudes have taken many people from hunting whales to protecting them. The exhibit includes interviews

about conservation efforts.

Visitors will see life-sized models and more than 20 real specimens, including skulls, skeletons, teeth, rare artifacts and some hands-on objects, as well as digital interactives and immersive projections.

Historic cultural objects include weapons made from whale bones and delicate ornaments fashioned from whale teeth.

Whales range in size from the world’s largest animal, the blue whale, to a tiny Hector’s whale, and the family includes dolphins and porpoises.

Visitors can crawl inside a life-sized replica of a blue whale’s heart and be awed by the 53-foot-long skeleton of a sperm whale.

They can follow a sperm whale on a hunt for a giant squid.

The exhibit also speaks about today’s scientists and new discoveries about the animal’s bodies, feeding methods and vast migration patterns through the Pacific Ocean. Perhaps a budding oceanographer will leave the museum inspired.

Admission to the exhibit is included in the general admission ticket.

County duo tops in zucchini races Local ladies make splash at California wine-country event

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com A one-of-a-kind pastime in California’s wine country is being dominated by a Douglas County duo.

Deanna Urs and Pat Freytag took the top prize in August for creativity for their entry in a soapbox derby in Sonoma, Calif.

But it’s a soapbox derby with a decidedly non-traditional spin; the participants are not kids, but rather dressed-up zucchinis.

For 26 years, hundreds of residents have gathered in the town square for the annual zucchini races. Urs, whose friend lives in Sonoma, was introduced to the unique event five years ago when she visited the local farmer’s market and heard a laughterfilled commotion.

When Urs saw the reason, she was hooked. She submitted her first entry during a visit one year later and took first place for creativity in the medium-size category.

There are also awards for fastest zucchini in each category — small, medium and large — and a prize for most creative overall, which Urs and Freytag claimed this summer.

Their winning entry was the “Sonoma Flyer,” a zucchini costumed in bright red glitter, balsa wings and landing gear that made it look a biplane.

“It was impressive before it rotted,” Urs said.

The Red Baron-like aircraft was piloted by a vintage Weeble (with aviator goggles) and carried two bottles of cabernet as cargo. Sonoma is situated among California’s vineyards, and wine was an inspiring force in the creation of the zucchini races.

The “Sonoma Flyer” was the brainchild of Urs, a professional photographer who

has lived in Parker for 23 years. Freytag, a resident of Surrey Ridge, helps with the design and the many intricate components that make the entry stand out. The “Sonoma Flyer” was equipped with smoke effects, working lights on the wings and a button that, when pressed, played Frank Sinatra’s “Come Fly With Me.” It’s the crowd-pleasing touches that win the judges over.

Urs and Freytag won for creativity in the

medium category three out of four years before taking the coveted prize of most creative overall this year. Because so many residents of Sonoma take the competition seriously, a win by an outsider is generally frowned upon. That’s why Urs purposely left her and Freytag’s last names and cities of residence off the entry form. They were known simply as Team 27.

Last year, the team collaborated on “The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe,” an

entry complete with a hinged roof, moveable window shutters, lighted chandelier, and, of course, children. The moment it was released from the starting gates, the roof blew off, the children tumbled all over the track, and 17 hours of work was scattered in pieces, much to the delight of spectators. The laughter and expressions on their faces made it all worth it, Urs said.

“It’s a good reason to have fun,” she said. “Once you do it, you’re addicted.”

Classic/Antique Cars

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com As lights go up on Sully’s Bar in Greenwich Village, circa 1960s, one can immediately sense a warm, worn, brick-andwood, well-used, slightly musty place that is a home away from home for a number of locals, especially artists. “Dylan Went Electric” is described to us as “a snapshot” play of a moment in time by a fellow audience member, a retired English professor.

This is a particularly well-designed set

by Kyle Scoggins — and the bar will actually serve a limited menu of drinks at intermission.

Norman (Damon Guerrasio) is at a table, strumming his guitar and singing bits of a song about gypsies that he’s writing. Phil, the politically opinionated bartender (Drew Horwitz), is behind the bar, and edgy Gina (Lindsey Pierce) enters and soon approaches Norman. “I used to write poems,” she says as an opener.

Phil’s running commentary fills in bits of ‘60s thinking, by the liberal types who would have frequented this little part of the world at the time.

At another table, a quiet Bartholomew sketches steadily in a black binder, occasionally interacting with the others, but comfortable in his private world.

Petra, the Czech waitress (Karen Slack) stomps in, announcing that she was emotionally unable to be there yesterday … She is soon on the phone speaking in Czech.

There is obviously a crisis. (The Soviets invaded in 1968).

An older man and woman enter and resume an ongoing chess game. They are Morris, the bar owner (Leroy Leonard), and the aging and hard-drinking Bohemian type Edna (Erica Sarzin-Borillo), each

IF YOU GO “Dylan Went Electric” by Josh Hartwell plays through Oct. 19 at Miners Alley Playhouse, 1224 Washington Ave., Golden. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 6 p.m. Sundays, except 2 p.m. only on Oct. 19.

Tickets: $23/$20/$12 under 12; 303-935-3044, minersalley.com. with their own stories of the ‘60s. Morris is gay and is beaten towards the end, perhaps in the 1969 Stonewall riots in Greenwich Village that signaled the start of a national gay movement.

Playwright Josh Hartwell, 41, writes of his pleasure in researching the history for this play — more than any other he’s written: “Bob Dylan, Dylan Thomas, Gertrude Drick, Washington Square Park, Stonewall, the Beats, folk music. Greenwich is called a Village for a reason …”

Director Jim Hunt, who was a 20-something in the ‘60s, speaks of Hartwell’s ability to “capture an iconic moment in time without hitting us over the head with it.”

Assistant director Jamie Billings, in her 20s now, comments on the way “social activism can exist through the click of a button, or the tap of a finger, today,” contrasted to times when “people had to leave the comfort of their homes … sing provocative songs … march … The messages surpass all generational barriers.”

And that is the appeal of this play for those of us who remember and those of us who learn about those exciting and difficult times.

This is theater as storytelling, with interesting, if not always appealing, characters who lead us through a couple of days in a world that once was a center of attention.

As a sidenote, the actual Bob Dylan is scheduled to perform in Denver at 8 p.m. on Nov. 1 in the Colorado Convention Center’s Bellco Theatre. Tickets are listed in a range of prices through bellcotheatre.com.

Jaguars win battle of unbeatens Rock Canyon edges Mountain Vista in key league clash

By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Rock Canyon converted two free kicks into the game’s only goals as the Jaguars edged Mountain Vista, 2-0, in an Oct. 2 clash for undisputed possession of first place in the 5A/4A Continental League soccer standings.

“This was a tough game as we knew it would be,” said Rock Canyon Coach Matt Sassali. “These are two teams undefeated in league play that have been on a collision course coming into this game. We got the win but now we need to focus on the remaining games because we play teams near the top of the league standings.”

Mountain Vista Coach Theresa Echtermeyer said she knew playing Rock Canyon wouldn’t be an easy task.

“They are a physical group and they played strong,” she said. “We lost to a good team, but maybe we’ll see them again in the playoffs.”

Sophomore leads Golden Eagles into state Ben Antonsen, a qualifier at No. 2 in 2013, will contend at No. 1 singles

By Jim Benton

jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Ben Antonsen knows what to expect this season.

Last fall, that wasn’t the case.

Antonsen was a freshman, playing at No. 2 singles, and was surprised by the atmosphere surrounding the state tournament.

He still wound up as a state runner-up.

“I thought I knew what it was going to be like going into the state tournament but I was a freshman and I didn’t think a whole lot of people would be coming to watch the state tournament,” recalled Antonsen.

“Then I got into the warm-ups and there were like 20 people watching that I didn’t know from my school. Well, then I knew this is pretty big.”

Antonsen is playing No. 1 singles this season and won the Region 5 championship with a 6-2, 6-0 victory over Castle View’s Cody Carlton on Oct. 2 at the Redstone tennis facility in Highlands Ranch.

The victory earned him a return trip and a good seed in the 2014 Class 5A state tournament to be held Oct. 9-11 at Gates Tennis Center in Denver.

“I’m excited to get back again,” said Antonsen. “It’s the best time for tennis, the state championships. I’m feeling good about my game going in. I’ve had a very good season. I’ve got a lot of momentum to build on off of the region because I played some good matches. I’ve just been working the whole year toward state. It’s where you go to play your best.

“I got a lot of familiarity with higher-

level players this season. Every school has at least one good kid. So when you are playing a good match every week, it’s good practice for state. It’s good to play that level of competition to get ready for state. You always go out trying to play the same way, your same style, playing aggressively and dictating play. So you go into every match and whatever happens, happens. Whatever is thrown at you in a match, you’ve got to be ready.”

Antonsen is 13-1 this season with his only loss coming to Air Academy’s Keenan Kaltenbacher in a third-set tiebreaker in the Western Slope Open in Grand Junction.

In the Region 5 finals Antonsen played sharp against Carlton and beat the Castle View senior for the second time in nine days.

“I came out and played aggressively,” Antonsen said. “He started playing aggressively too because he was pumped up trying to win the finals of regionals. I felt like I

hung in there and served well, played well and I’m happy to get the No. 1 position for Mountain Vista into state.”

Carlton couldn’t overcome Antonsen’s execution.

“I felt like I played really good,” said Carlton. “(He) is very good. He’s a wellrounded player. He just wouldn’t miss.

He had to beat me. He just got more shots than I did.”

Mountain Vista, the Continental League champions and third at the 2013 state tournament, qualified eight of 11 players for state which hampers the Golden Eagles chances of contending for a state title against perennial powerhouse Cherry Creek and impressive Fairview.

Vista’s No. 2 singles player Austin Gruszczynski added to his unbeaten season record with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Castle View’s Josh Hunt. The senior is now 13-0.

Mountain Vista remained unbeaten for the season and in the Continental North with a 34-7 triumph over Rock Canyon as Nick Schmalz rushed for 153 yards and three scores for the Golden Eagles. Trevor Howard was the top rusher for Rock Canyon with 107 yards and a TD. ThunderRidge thumped Fruita Monument, 43-7, and Regis Jesuit blanked Highlands Ranch, 43-0.

More from the softball circle

Freshman Ali Kilponen struck out 13 batters and pitched a no-hitter in Valor Christian’s 2-0 Jefferson County 4A League victory over defending state champion Wheat Ridge on Oct. 3 to help the Eagles clinch the league title with a 7-1 record.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF OCT 6 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) An upcoming trip could create some problems with your schedule unless you tie up as many loose ends as possible before you head out the door. Ask a friend or colleague to help you.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Being eager to start a new project is fine. However, moving ahead without knowing what actually will be expected of you could cause a problem down the line. Ask some questions.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Getting through some recent challenges in good shape might give you a false sense of security. Don’t relax your guard. You need to be prepared for what else could happen.

crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Caution is still advised, even though you think you’re as prepared as you need to be. Keep in mind that change is in your aspect, and you should expect the unexpected.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) The Lion’s gift of persuasion helps you get your points across, even to some of your most negative naysayers. An old friend might seek you out for some advice.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Being sure of your convictions is fine. But leave some room for dissenting opinions. You might learn something that could help you avoid a possible problem later on.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Getting good legal advice on what your rights actually are is the first step toward resolving that pesky problem so that it doesn’t re-emerge at a later date. Good luck.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Longtime relationships work well this week, whether they’re personal or professional. It’s also a good time to invite new friends and colleagues into your life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) This is a good week to do the research that will help you uncover those irrefutable facts that can back you up on your new venture when you most need it.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Change is an important factor in your aspect this week and could affect something you might have thought was immune to any sort of adjustment or “alteration.”

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Being asked to share someone’s deeply personal confidence might be flattering, but accepting could be unwise. Decline gracefully but firmly.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) As wise as you are, you could still be misled by someone who seems to be sincere but might not be. Take more time to assess the situation before making any commitments.

BORN THIS WEEK: You like to face challenges that others might try to avoid, and by so doing, you set an example of courage for all. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Valor holes fourth golf title in six years Falcons finish fourth in Class 5A with three sophomores, one freshman

By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com There’s always chatter about Valor Christian’s football team which has captured five consecutive state championships, including the past two in Class 5A. The Eagles football team, however, might have to share a little of the limelight with the boys golf team, which captured the Class 4A state golf title for the fourth time in six years by finishing 23 strokes in front of second-place Pueblo South at the state tournament held Sept. 29-30 at Walking Stick in Pueblo.

“We’ve won four in the last six years and lost in a playoff one other year,” said Valor boys golf coach Jason Preeo.

“The football team is still a little bit ahead but that’s alright.”

All four Valor golfers finished among the top six in the individual standings in Pueblo.

Senior Jake Staiano was second with a 4-under par 140 total to finish two shots behind state champion Taylor Rodriguez of Pueblo South. Staiano tied for the first day lead with a 67 and shot a 73 on the final round.

Ross Macdonald carded a 2-under par 70 during the final round and finished third at 2-under 142 while Coby Welch tied for fourth at 146 and Pierce Aichinger tied for sixth with a 147 36-hole total.

“The kids played really well,” said Preeo. “On day two it was windy and certainly a lot more difficult than the first day. All the scores went up a little bit but they hung in there. Ross’ round of 70 was probably just about as good as shooting 67 the first day. The kids were really dealing with a little bit of pressure with the expectations but they came through and played well.”

In the Class 5A tournament at the Colorado Springs Country Club, Highlands Ranch was four shots off the lead after a three-player total of 230 for the first round on Sept.

29. The Falcons faded during the final 18 holes and wound up tied for fourth in the team standings at 470, 24 shots behind state champion Coronado.

Sophomore Tyler Zang paced Highlands Ranch with rounds of 74 and 78 and was tied for 17th in the individual standings at 152.

“We have these babies so we’re lining up with a freshman and three sophomores,” said Highlands Ranch coach James Barker. “The first day we just played kind of mediocre. As a team we played maybe C golf. Coronado didn’t play very well the first day. But we were only four strokes behind after day one so we were in second place after not playing very well.

“The second day we might have played our worst tournament of the year and slipped to fourth but we were only three shots out of second. We couldn’t quite pull it off. It’s experience. The more competitive golf you play, the smarter you get and the easier it is to hold it together.

It would have surprised me a little bit if we had won the whole thing but we just kind of didn’t know how.’’

Barker was already playing it forward after the tournament.

“This group of kids I have love to play and love to do the things you need to do to get better,” he said. “I look for us to be a contender next year and the year after that. We’ve got talent now, our work ethic needs to be better and our learning curve needs to be a little steeper.

“I am proud of them. We would have rather won the thing but it’s more common for experienced players to hold it together and get it done. We just couldn’t quite get it done.”

Valerie here! I love to be petted and purr loudly to let you know how much. I'm also gentle, quiet and smart, picking up tricks like high five, sit and sit pretty quickly.

While I might do better in a household with older kids, I do love being around people and have lived with other cats. Come visit me today--I can't wait to meet you! ID# 0429413
