Gotto keeping focus on changing education models For superintendent-to-be, models represent new ways of thinking about learning and careers BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Deputy superintendent Jeni Gotto led Westminster Public Schools as it blazed a national trail in switching to the Competency-Based System of education, a decision that’s transformed the once-struggling school district. As the next superintendent, she plans to continue guiding the district and its students on its unique path — one that many districts across the country are now trying to follow. “I firmly believe in the efficacy of this approach to educating children,” said Gotto, an internationally recognized competency-based education leader. “Contributing to the enhancement of our public education system

is not just a responsibility, but a thrilling endeavor. I consider myself fortunate to play a role in it.” Gotto will step in for retiring longtime WPS Superintendent Gotto Pam Swanson on July 1, 2024. The district’s website describes competency-based education as a personal approach to education, one that recognizes different learning styles and tailors each student’s education to maximize their engagement. The competency-based system requires students to show mastery of learning topics before moving on to the next level, an approach that means some students may progress quickly while others may take more time to learn. The district says it is the largest competency-based school district in the country. It is so renowned for its innovative approach that the district hosts an annual conference, drawing educators from across the coun-

try and the world who want to learn more about it. Earlier this month, voters elected three WPS board members — incumbent Christine Martinez, and newcomers Mary Beth Murphy and Audrey Yanos — who ran on the idea that the district is doing well and should continue on its current path. “I think the election was a nod to this system,” she said. “The community wants to see the current direction of the district continue.” While the district has made academic strides with competencybased learning, Gotto said it is a process with no endpoint, one that requires constant re-evaluation and changes. “Teachers and principals will tell you we don’t leave things alone,” she said. “Every year, we look at our data. If the data is saying it isn’t working, we make adjustments.” Accredited with improvement

The Colorado Department of Education (CDE) ranked WPS “accredited with improvement” in 2022. That means the district is meeting some — but not all — performance expectations. Its current ranking is a long way from where the district started, and Gotto has been instrumental in getting it there. WPS has built-in challenges. Eighty percent of its 7,600 students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Seventyseven percent are Hispanic and almost one-third are not native English speakers. “Not every kid is coming from a house where they had a parent that read to them every night,” Gotto said. “Each one of those kiddos is coming with a different life experience. We changed up our model to say here’s what they need, here’s what they’re ready for. “Overwhelmingly, parents said ‘thank you’. As parents, you know where your children are strong. And for the first time, we created a model where we met kids where they are and acknowledged it.” Changing course

Gotto joined Westminster Schools in 2008 as director of assessment and instructional technology, with the specific purpose of helping the district make the move to a competency-based system. She came to Westminster from Brush Schools RE-2J district, then the only other Colorado

district trying the new approach. “Back in 2009 when we started this work, we were a turnaround district,” Gotto said. Turnaround districts are considered among the lowest-performing in the state. They are not meeting or are only approaching expectations on most performance metrics. For districts ranked “turnaround” or “priority improvement,” the state steps in to provide support and oversight until they improve. “We knew we could do better, and we needed to do better for our students,” she said. “It took a lot of time. We didn’t have a roadmap, so we had to figure a lot of this out. “Slowly all our schools came off the clock. In 2018, we had all schools out of turnaround (red) and in yellow or green.” A “yellow” or Improvement ranking means a school is meeting expectations on some performance metrics, but is not meeting or only approaching expectations on many. Those ranked “green,” also known as Performance, are meeting expectations on the majority of performance metrics. The state’s current rankings, Gotto said, “are their metric for saying we are in safe harbor.” WPS also maintains that its unique system doesn’t easily fit the state’s testing mold. “High-stakes testing has always been a challenge for us as we have argued to the state that CBS is not compatible with rankings based on a once-a-year standardized test,” said district spokesperson Stephen Saunders. “Nonetheless we made progress — even under state rules.” Background and goals

A Casper, Wyo. native, Gotto started her career in education as a business education teacher in Brush, then advanced to director of learning services. She later earned master’s and doctorate degrees in administrative and executive leadership from the University of Colorado. While working in Brush, she attended a conference on competencybased learning. Several representatives from Westminster schools also attended, and both school boards decided to pursue the new model. Westminster eventually recruited Gotto to help with its Competency-Based System implementation. SEE MODELS, P22

Chosen family celebrated at Adoption Day Adams County helped 16 children find their families at Nov. 16 ceremony BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For a new Adams County Human Services case worker, Christy Talkington said she couldn’t have found a better place to start than with the Pedrozas. The Adams County family of seven grew by two more Nov. 16, formalizing their adoption of Kylie, 8, and Aliyah,11, in a ceremony at the Adams County Human Services and 17th Judicial District offices in Brighton. It was part of National Adoption

Day. The two girls were among a group of 16 kids to find their new families at the ceremony. It was especially touching for Talkington since she is new to the job. “They are little lights,” Talkington said of the two girls. “It helps me be a good case worker and helped me grow up, too.” Talkington and all of the Pedroza family cried joyfully as Kylie and Aliyah officially joined the family. “I’m very excited,” said Francisco Javier Pedroza, the girl’s father. “Aliyah brings smiles, and Kylie cares about people.” The two have been a part of the large family for some time, and the Thursday afternoon ceremony made that permanent. “I’m very happy now, nobody can

take them away,” said Maria Pedroza, the girl’s mother. “Kylie is very caring, and Aliyah is really smart.” Kylie and Aliyah, in the middle clutching teddy bears, are flanked by their mom, dad and six new brothers and sisters, and a grandma. Adams County joined more than 400 communities nationwide in celebrating adoptions from foster care on Nov. 16 across the country. According to officials, children spend two years on average in foster care before being adopted. National Adoption Day exists to draw special attention to the 113,000 children in foster care across the country, waiting for permanent and loving families. From its inception in 2000, the annual one-day event has celebrated more than 75,000 adoptions.

Adams County hopes to complete Adams County 130 adoptions by the end of the year. Favorite job

Adams County Chief Judge Donald Quick noted that it’s one of his favorite jobs as a judge. Judges frequently send people to prison and perform marriage ceremonies. “But for every judge in this room, the one thing as a judge that brings us the most joy is adoptions, where we’re able to help people become families; it’s the judge’s role today,” Quick said. It’s a formality, he said. His role is to legally acknowledge the new family. But the work building the family began long before he was involved. SEE ADOPTION, P24

Northglenn tops its new city hall BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Northglenn City Council and project teams gathered Nov. 13 to mark the last beam placed atop the future city hall. The topping-out ceremony is a builder’s rite traditionally held when the last beam is placed atop a structure during its construction. Construction started in June, and the building is expected to open in fall 2024. Project team members including city staff, general contractor FCI Constructors, project managers Cumming

Management Group, and Anderson Mason Dale Architects also pointed out construction highlights to elected officials during event. Everyone then had an opportunity to sign their name on the building. The 32,600-square-foot building is located adjacent to the old city hall at 11701 Community Center Drive. The new city hall will provide the same services as the current city hall. However, the building’s enhanced public spaces, including city council chambers, will be more accessible. Community rooms and lobby space being built as part of the new structure are designed to encourage increased public involvement. The current city hall is more than 40 years old and lacks the safety infrastructure and proper space for employees to efficiently provide services

or engagement opportunities to the community. The new Northglenn City Hall is designed to be NetZero, meaning it will generate as much energy as it uses. It’s also expected to receive a CORE Green Building Rating and would be the first municipal building in Colorado to achieve that certification. The certification includes 10 best practices a building must obtain to be considered a green or sustainable building. The nearly $34-million endeavor is fully funded by a 0.5% sales tax and 4% special marijuana tax, both of which can only be used for capital projects. “We are thrilled that we are the first to build a NetZero municipal building in Colorado,” Mayor Meredith Leighty said. “We are on schedule and on budget, and I am excited to invite our

WinterFest brings magic to Thornton Three-day, family-friendly event brings community together for holiday fun BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Thornton’s WinterFest — a family-focused holiday celebration highlighted this year by fireworks and drone displays — returns Dec. 8-10 to Carpenter Park, 11000 Colorado Blvd. During WinterFest, the city creates a holiday village on the park’s playing fields, with structures that include Santa’s house, an elves’ cottage, a reindeer hospital and a gingerbread house, all surrounded by 375 twinkling live trees. A 40-foot tree is the village centerpiece. The three-day event kicks off at 6:30 p.m. Friday when Santa joins Thornton’s mayor and city councilors to turn on the village’s holiday lights.

Thornton’s holiday celebration WinterFest runs Dec. 8-10 at Carpenter Park. It features the holiday village, a beer garden, drone show on Friday and a 5k and fireCOURTESY works display on Saturday.

This year, WinterFest also includes a Friday night holiday-themed drone show and Saturday night fireworks. Other highlights of the festival are Saturday’s breakfast with Santa, 5K and fun run, holiday

marketplace, a lighted maze, ice skating, carnival games, ice-carving demonstrations and a heated beer garden. With such a broad variety of events, Thornton recreation coordinator Jenny Dowdell said many people come to the weekend event more than once. Last year, 30,000 people came on Saturday alone. “Oftentimes families will visit multiple times through the weekend for different perspectives,” she said. “They might come Saturday during the day, and come back Sunday night. It’s a different feel from day to night.” The spirit of WinterFest isn’t limited to kids, Dowdell said. She feels it, too. “It’s my favorite event of the year,” she said. “We try to create magic along the way. I’m a Christmas/ holiday person, and I feel as though it’s very different from anything else we offer to our community. “It will absolutely get you in the spirit. And fireworks in December are pretty cool.” See Thornton’s WinterFest page for a full schedule of events.

Union-backed candidates on top in Adams 12 Goldstein, Battistelli and Marsh-Holschen to join school board Three women supported by the Adams 12 teachers’ union won board seats by comfortable margins in the November election. Incumbent and board President Lori Goldstein, and newcomers Paula Battistelli and Alexis MarshHolschen will fill three of the board’s five seats. The three progressive candidates defeated the conservative slate of Ben Helgeson, Rebecca Elmore, and Ken Murphy-Montoya. Helgeson had reportedly sent multiple emails to district and union leaders, accusing the union and others of pushing a racist, religious ideology. “We have a few voices who are saying we’re falling apart, and not teaching our kids,” said Goldstein, who taught in Adams 12 for 34 years. “When you look at community surveys, the general majority of

Paula Battistelli

the population agrees we’re on the right track. (Superintendent) Chris Gdowski’s leadership is part of that and has been amazing. “We are a big district with a lot of small-town influences, relationships and networks. We just need to keep that going.” During her 40 years in the district, Goldstein said she’s watched it grow dramatically. The district’s needs have changed along with that growth. “We’re at the point now where we’re somewhat built out,” she said. “Our neighborhoods on the south end are aging. Affordability is an issue for a lot of people. And people aren’t having as many kids. We have to start thinking about

how we’re going to age gracefully. “Public education is changing too. Kids are coming in with more needs other than academics (including) social/emotional learning. Adams 12 has been really key in honing in on all these needs and doing something about it.” Adams 12 has a combined atlarge and director district plan of representation, requiring board members to reside in a specific geographic area. Goldstein represents Ward 1. She has called the Five Star District home for more than 40 years, serving as a teacher, and participating as a parent. Battistelli will represent District 2. A district parent and community member since 2013, she has served on the District Accountability Committee and participated in the Five Star Leadership Academy. “My goal is to predominantly help Adams 12 ‘keep on keeping on,’” she said. “I want to help the district continue moving forward. I’m particularly interested in helping Adams 12 support our special student populations, like our kids

with disabilities and our emergent bilingual learners.” Marsh-Holschen takes the District 5 seat. A graduate of Legacy High School, her children attend district schools. “As a graduate of Adams 12 and now a mom of an Adams 12 student, I feel I’ve come full circle,” she said. “We have a great district and I want to see Adams 12 continue in the right direction — educating all students, attracting and retaining the best educators. “ The trio will be sworn in at the Dec. 6 board meeting. They join Directors Courtney Potter and Amira Assad-Luca, whose terms expire in 2025. Departing Directors Jamey Lockley and Laura Mitchell each served eight years on the board. Adams 12’s five directors are elected at large to four-year, staggered terms. The district serves about 35,500 students in Adams and Broomfield counties, including the cities of Broomfield, Federal Heights, Northglenn, Thornton and Westminster.

Colorado costs for unnecessary care rise BY MARKIAN HAWRYLUK KFF HEALTH NEWS

The U.S. spends huge amounts of money on health care that does little or nothing to help patients, and may even harm them. In Colorado, a new analysis shows that the number of tests and treatments conducted for which the risks and costs exceed the benefits has barely budged despite a decade-long attempt to tamp down on such care. The state — including the government, insurers, and patients themselves — spent $134 million last year on what is called low-value care, according to the report by the Center for Improving Value in Health Care, a Denver nonprofit that collects billing data from health plans across Colorado. The top low-value items in terms of spending in each of the past three years were prescriptions for opiates, prescriptions for multiple antipsychotics, and screenings for vitamin D deficiency, according to the analysis. Nationwide, those treatments raise costs, lead to health complications, and interfere with more appropri-

ate care. But the structure of the U.S. health system, which rewards doctors for providing more care rather than the right care, has made it difficult to stop such waste. Even in places that have reduced or eliminated the financial incentive for additional testing, such as Los Angeles County, low-value care remains a problem. And when patients are told by physicians or health plans that tests or treatments aren’t needed, they often question whether they are being denied care. While some highly motivated clinicians have championed effective interventions at their own hospitals or clinics, those efforts have barely moved the needle on low-value care. Of the $3 trillion spent each year on health care in the U.S., 10% to 30% consists of this low-value care, according to multiple estimates. “There’s a culture of ‘more is better,’” said Mark Fendrick, director of the University of Michigan Center for Value-Based Insurance Design. “And ‘more is better’ is very hard to overcome.” To conduct its study, the Center for

Improving Value in Health Care used a calculator developed by Fendrick and others that quantifies spending for services identified as low-value care by the Choosing Wisely campaign, a collaborative effort of the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation and now more than 80 medical specialty societies. Fendrick said the $134 million tallied in the report represents just “a small piece of the universe of no- and low-value care” in Colorado. The calculator tracks only the 58 services that developers were most confident reflected low-value care and does not include the costs of the cascade of care that often follows. Every dollar spent on prostate cancer testing in men over 70, for example, results in $6 in follow-up tests and treatments, according to an analysis published in JAMA Network Open in 2022. In 2013, Children’s Hospital Colorado learned it had the second-highest rate of CT abdominal scans — a low-value service — among U.S. children’s hospitals, with about 45% of kids coming to the emergency room with abdominal pain getting the

imaging. Research had shown that those scans were not helpful in most cases and exposed the children to unnecessary radiation. Digging into the problem, clinicians there found that if ER physicians could not find the appendix on an ultrasound, they swiftly ordered a CT scan. New protocols implemented in 2016 have surgeons come to the ER to evaluate the patient before a CT scan is ordered. The surgeons and emergency doctors can then decide whether the child is at high risk of appendicitis and needs to be admitted, or at low risk and can be sent home. Within two years, the hospital cut its rate of CT scans on children with abdominal pain to 10%, with no increase in complications. “One of the hardest things to do in this work is to align financial incentives,” said Lalit Bajaj, an emergency physician at Children’s Colorado who championed the effort, “because in our health care system, we get paid for what we do.” SEE COSTS, P13

Rocky Mountain Human Services wins Adams, Denver counties contract

The Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing is redesigning its case management process, naming a Colorado firm to manage responses for Adams and Denver counties. The change began Nov. 1. Colorado non-profit group Rocky Mountain Human Services will provide streamlined case management services to individuals with disabilities or other complex needs requiring long-term, home, and community-based support. The new contract is part of Colorado’s redesigned case management system intended to make it easier for people needing services to navigate the system and get the care they need. It is designed to ensure that people have one place to go for questions and support and to improve the quality of care they receive. “We are proud and honored to be selected as the Case Management Agency for Denver and Adams Counties,” said RMHS executive director Shari Repinski. “It’s essential to reduce the burden of a complex and siloed system of care by creating a more inclusive and streamlined Long Term Care system in Colorado that recognizes and caters to the diverse needs of individuals, regard-

less of their disability. RMHS looks forward to making it easier for people to access care and to know that they have a trusted partner they can count on to treat them with the utmost respect and compassion.” Internships available with Adams County

COSTS FROM PAGE 9

Cutting CT scans meant less revenue. But Children’s Colorado worked with an insurance plan to create an incentive program. If the hospital could hold down the rate of high-cost imaging, saving the health plan money, it could earn a bonus from the insurer at the end of the year that would partly offset the lost revenue. But Bajaj said it’s tough for doctors to deal with patient expectations for testing or treatment. “It’s not a great feeling for a parent to come in and I tell them how to support their child through the illness,” Bajaj said. “They don’t really feel like they got testing done. ‘Did they really evaluate my child?’” That was a major hurdle in treating kids with bronchiolitis. That respiratory condition, most often caused by a virus, sends thousands of kids every winter to the ER at Children’s, where unneeded chest X-rays were often ordered. “The data was telling us that they really didn’t provide any change in care,” Bajaj said. “What they did was add unnecessary expense.” Too often, doctors reading the Xrays mistakenly thought they saw a bacterial infection and prescribed antibiotics. They would also prescribe bronchodilators, like albuterol, they thought would help the kids breathe easier. But studies have shown those medicines don’t relieve bronchiolitis. Bajaj and his colleagues implemented new protocols in 2015 to educate parents on the condition, how to manage symptoms until kids get better, and why imaging or medication is unlikely to help. “These are hard concepts for folks,” Bajaj said. Parents want to feel their child has been fully evaluated when they come to the ER, especially since they are often footing more of the bill. The hospital reduced its X-ray rate from 40% in the 17 months before the new protocols to 29% in the 17 months after implementation, according to Bajaj. The use of bronchodilators dropped from 36% to 22%. Part of the secret of Children’s success is that they “brand” their interventions. The hospital’s quality improvement team gathers staff members from various disciplines

to brainstorm ways to reduce lowvalue care and assign a catchy slogan to the effort: “Image gently” for appendicitis or “Rest is best” for bronchiolitis. “And then we get T-shirts made. We get mouse pads and water bottles made,” Bajaj said. “People really do enjoy T-shirts.” In California, the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, one of the largest safety-net health systems in the country, typically receives a fixed dollar amount for each person it covers regardless of how many services it provides. But the staff found that 90% of patients undergoing cataract surgery were getting extensive preoperative testing, a low-value service. In other health systems, that would normally reflect a do-more-to-get-paid-more scenario. “That wasn’t the case here in LA County. Doctors didn’t make more money,” said John Mafi, an associate professor of medicine at UCLA. “It suggests that there’s many other factors other than finances that can be in play.” As quality improvement staffers at the county health system looked into the reasons, they found the system had instituted a protocol requiring an X-ray, electrocardiograms, and a full set of laboratory tests before the surgery. A records review showed those extra tests weren’t identifying problems that would interfere with an operation, but they did often lead to unnecessary follow-up visits. An anomaly on an EKG might lead to a referral to a cardiologist, and since there was often a backlog of patients waiting for cardiology visits, the surgery could be delayed for months. In response, the health system developed new guidelines for preoperative screenings and relied on a nurse trained in quality improvement to advise surgeons when preoperative testing was warranted. The initiative drove down the rates of chest X-rays, EKGs, and lab tests by two-thirds, with no increase in adverse events. The initiative lost money in its first year because of high startup costs. But over three years, it resulted in modest savings of about $60,000. “A fee-for-service-driven health system where they make more money if they order more tests, they would have lost money,” Mafi said, because they make a profit on each test.

Westminster’s new councilors to be sworn in Dec. 4

he only change is change itself.” Well, here’s another change from what stood for 64 years: Ever since voters approved the 1958 City Charter, newly elected council members and mayors were sworn in the following Monday evening in November. Then in the 2022 election, voters changed the process which affected the swearing in of the newly elected folks. In order to have the city charter in sync with state and federal laws, the swearing-in ceremony for Kristine Ireland, Claire Carmelia and Amber Hott will take place on Monday, Dec. 4 at a special council meeting. The reason for the change is to complete the vote canvass and validate the results before newly elected representatives are sworn-in. So, come witness the three new city councilors being sworn-in and take their seats. As an aside, the new process creates a “lame duck” period where Westminster council members whose terms normally would have expired Nov. 13 will remain in office until Dec. 4. Normally, this does not present any critical or consequential actions. However, years ago before the City of Northglenn changed their city char-

ter to swear-in newly elected shortly after the election, the “lame duck” council approved a sizeable salary increase for the city manager who was under considerable fire and criticism. After the new council took office, Bill Christopher the city manager was fired, but benefited from the nice pay increase at the expense of the Northglenn taxpayers. Lame duck periods can hold unneeded or unwanted consequences. Remember the federal “midnight judges” appointments which were made by outgoing President John Adams before the stroke of midnight?

Both the Republicans and Democrats had their own versions of tax relief and related measures as they walked into the legislative chambers Nov. 17. Before the second day had started, the Dems had quickly discarded the Republicans’ idea and moved forward. In the matter of four days, the Democrats powered ahead and

completed their property tax relief package and financial support for lower income families such as rental assistance. All was achieved in time to impact the magnitude of property taxes about to fall upon the heads of Colorado taxpayers. The package has various components. First, the $200 million previously set aside has been “stretched” so that the property value reduction was increased from $50,000 to $55,000. This is your reduction factor in the property value calculation. This would produce on the average a $255 tax reduction on a $500,000 valued house assuming an “average” mill levy. Also, the assessment rate was lowered from 6.765% to 6.7%. We shouldn’t complain as commercial or agricultural property will not receive any tax relief. On a related measure, the Dems approved legislation to set aside $30 million in rental assistance. This is to help keep at-risk renters from being evicted through the first six months of 2024. With previously budgeted rental assistance funds, this will bring the relief package to $65 million in the new year. As you might have expected, federal COVID relief funds had previously dried up.

The reduced property tax revenue is a negative impact on local governments which rely on property taxes such as school districts, fire districts and hospital districts. The state will “back-fill” their losses for one year to avoid impacts there. Also, TABOR funds are to be distributed EQUALLY (not based on reported income) which are projected to be $847 per eligible person or $1,694 per couple. TABOR funds are not being used in the tax relief. Remember, this is a one year relief effort so the legislature will have to re-address these issues looking forward during the 2024 legislative session. They did establish a commission to study taxes. Hey, I have to say our rejection of Proposition HH was heard and the Democrats responded with a better package. Was it everything we wanted? Certainly not. Now, we prepare for the major “hit” which the tax increases will have on us and our economy.

the City to maintain water prices where both affluent and less-affluent neighborhoods can have beautiful landscapes. A valid definition of “conservative” is opposing change. I think most people, including Democrats, would not define “conservative” as fighting against becoming a city where only rich neighborhoods have the privilege being beautiful. As far as the council being fragmented, I am surprised that Christopher had not noticed the turmoil on Council that has boiled up over the last two years. Did he not hear of the unprovoked attack by Councilors Nurmela and Ezeadi on the integrity of the rest of Council? Had he not

noticed my pleadings for answers to the dishonesty of mis-using the discretion of Colorado law gives and that Westminster has done? Had he not noticed the censure of myself by Council, for telling the truth? I do not think there will be much fragmentation at all. The four Democrats, the New Majority, are very savvy and will use their majority to advance their desires. They are unlike the 5 majority members of Council in 2021 that could not keep their promise for reasonable water rates. The just approved Comprehensive plan will be modified to invite more “affordable” housing (that means high-density, non-own-

ership, multi-family, state-subsidized apartment complexes) but the major change will be marketrate units exempted from existing building rules, as was done at the Uplands. Private cars will continue to be attacked and have parking and traffic lanes taken away. The city will spend hundreds of millions of dollars on an unneeded water plant and foolish capital projects. The “unhoused” will continue to be given lots of public money while degrading the perception of safety and the quality of life for our residents. I know that Ms. Ireland has the courage to object, but will that constitute fragmentation? Bruce Baker, Westminster

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Westminster was fragmented all along

Reading Bill Christopher’s column about the Westminster City Council election and his guess of a fragmented City Council, let me offer a different view. There were three slates not two: the Democrat slate, which lacked the honesty to acknowledge they were a slate; the Staus Quo slate, hand-picked by the Mayor and Mayor-Pro-Tem; and the Common Sense slate, which was attacked by hate campaigns. While I find mean-spirited Christopher’s pejorative description of Ms Ireland, Mr Shilling and myself as “ultra-conservatives”, we certainly did offer voters a chance for

Live rough and know the real world

uides in the outdoor industry inevitably come up with collective nicknames for customers. On horseback they’re “dudes,” on the river they’re “mers” — short for customers — and they’re “sticks” if you’re trying to trick a trout. Sometimes the terms trend a little negative — “flatlander” comes to mind, and there’s another name I’ve come to use but need to explain it. It comes out of what I do: For the last decade, I’ve guided multi-day whitewater fly-fishing trips through western Colorado’s Gunnison Gorge during the summer. Then I spend the fall guiding horseback hunting outfits in wilderness. It adds up to around 100 nights a year sleeping rough. I’ve met a lot of people from all over the country, and, sad to say, too many seem oblivious to how scarce clean water is in the outback and also how much work it takes to make water safe for drinking. That’s why I sometimes call them “water poopers.” Spill a big batch of filtered water, treat a horse like a car rather than a living being, or behave in some other entitled way, and you might get saddled with this moniker. If a client takes offense, I explain that a waterpooper assumes that a flush toilet is necessary to life, and they usually agree: “Yep, that’s me. Never thought about it that way.” On the river, and in hunting camp, water is precious: We filter every drop of water that we drink. We haul the water from the river or the creek to camp and then let gravity filters purify it, one drop at a time. On overnight river trips we use a portable toilet setup with a great view, but some clients never get over their distaste of having to use it. At trip’s end, our portable toilet gets packed out, leaving nothing behind. On the mountain every fall, we usually have to dig two 5-foot-deep outhouse holes at least 40 paces from the main tents. After a stalagmite of poop and toilet paper inevitably forms, the “camp-jack” has the unlucky job of knocking over the tower. We fill in the hole when it’s three-quarters full and then dig a new one. Wilderness guides love saying things like “misery makes memories,” or “embrace the suck.” It’s good for a laugh when rain, mud or a sudden freeze moves in, but it helps make living deep in the wilderness an experience to learn from and remem-

ber. It also breaks the water-pooper spell we fall into in the “real world.” Being responsible for our personal needs connects us to the realities of life that modern civilization hides. Our elk camp is located in an aspen forest licking down into Gambel oak brush, and every year I notice that the land is drier and hotter. Aspens are not doing well. The mature trees are dead or dying and only saplings seem to have any vigor. A little creek used to run cool enough to hold some fingerling trout, but vegetation is moving higher up the mountain and the creek is warm. The elk rut also happens later in the fall each year. At some point every season after six weeks in the wild, I drive home, and as I crest the ridge and see the lights of Grand Junction, it hits me: Some 150,000-plus people live in the area, and they all defecate in purified water without a second thought. For those first few days back in civilization, the absurdity is overwhelming. But I also can see the bigger picture of our careless lives. Living in a wild place separates us from what is essential: Shelter. Energy. Food. Clean water. Waste removal. We’re forced to take individual responsibility for all of those things in the backcountry. Of course, I’m a water-pooper, too. No one is immune. No matter how you wipe it, we all clean ourselves with dead trees, even protestors sitting in old growth forests. I might just be a river rat and mule skinner, but I know that many of our most pressing environmental and social issues stem from this waterpooper line of thinking. Stepping out of the system to take responsibility for ourselves, even for a few days in the wild, can be eyeopening. It’s amazing to realize how fragile our luxuries are, from toilets that whisk waste away to having clean water pour out of a tap. It is unwise to take these luxuries for granted.

round Christmastime in 1914, David Dwight Sturgeon’s son fell ill and became bedridden. Sturgeon, an electrician who would go on to start the Sturgeon Electric Company, devised a plan to dip light bulbs in red and green

indoor Christmas lights — that designation goes to Thomas Edison, who did so in the 1800s, according to Sturgeon Electric’s Marketing Director Erin Stromberg — his innovation spread like wildfire throughout early 20th-century Denver. “People went past the house and saw it and liked the look of it,” Jason Hansen, History Colorado’s director of interpretation and research said. “And we then as now knew

up the story and wrote several articles on Sturgeon’s invention, according to local freelance writer and historian Rosemary Fetter. The idea’s popularity spurred Wayne to organize the first outdoor Christmas lighting contest — which drew hundreds of participants. Soon after, the tradition had gained a foothold across the front range. By 1938, Denver had begun to display Christmas lights on the

“That’s really where the tradition that most of us still observe today, of leaving our lights up until the end of the Stock Show, because so many people were coming to Denver, both for the Christmas season and for the Stock Show,” Hansen said. “It was an act of hospitality to leave the lights up so that everybody can enjoy them.”

CHRISTMAS FROM PAGE 16

In 1945, NBC did a broadcast tribute to Denver and the Sturgeon family for having originated the tradition, according to Stromberg. Now, Sturgeon Electric — still in business after all these years — celebrates its Christmastime roots by partnering with Colorado Children’s Hospital to hang lights on the homes of kids who are ailing during the holidays. “This will be the sixth year in a row that Sturgeon Electric gives back to our community by putting lights on the homes of a child who is currently at Children’s Hospital,” Stromberg said. “We’re glad to be able to give back to our community and carry that tradition forward.” This year, for History Colorado’s Zoom In exhibit — which examines the Centennial State’s history in 100 artifacts — Hansen’s research team looked

into the claim that Sturgeon invented outdoor Christmas lights to see if they could verify what many Denverites know as a piece of local mythology. “It’s one of those stories where it may just be urban legend,” Hansen said. “And so, we went in and looked into it. I had a team of researchers that were working on that exhibition, and we dug into it trying to disprove it. And we couldn’t. It’s one of those enduring traditions, which is why we wanted to include it in the 100 objects exhibition.” Thus, there is a strand of Christmas lights on display at the Zoom In exhibit at History Colorado’s Denver museum. The organization also puts on an annual Christmas light tour that takes merrymakers on a bus ride throughout the city to discuss the tradition’s history and look at lighting displays today. Information for History Colorado’s Christmas light tour can be found at Historycolorado. org.

Arvada Center hosts ‘Cinderella’ this holiday season

he holiday season is a time filled with stories, whether they come in form of traditions long passed down or the fantastical kind we all gather round to hear for another year. For this year, the Arvada Center’s holiday show is a bit of both —Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella.” “Cinderella is a great holiday show because it’s magical and larger than life,” wrote Lily Schmoker, who plays Charlotte, one of the sisters, in the production, in an email interview. “The beautiful set design, the transformations and the huge group numbers create a spectacular ex-

ing knights riding on hoverboards and villagers using cell phones. Don’t worry, all the characters audiences know and love are still around, just with a new twist. A perfect example is the fairy godmother, played in the show by Aléna Watters. In the classic version, the character appears magically in the story but in this version audiences get to meet her earlier as a beggar woman who eventually transforms into the fairy godmother. “I’m approaching her with some silliness,” Watters explained. “Because our costume design is not the traditional ballgown, the godmother has so much more silly playfulness to her that we get to transform into some elegance. She’s a bit more eccentric, zany and playful.” That sense of fun extends to all aspects of the story, with Schmoker bringing a humanly comedic touch to Charlotte, who she describes as a product of her mother who just wants to be loved. “I think she is the total contrast of Ella, but I really fell in love with her,” Schmoker wrote. “I’m trying to play her with as much honesty as I can while keeping all her comedic moments, since she’s written, I think, to be a main source of comedic relief throughout the show.” While the show certainly has some changes, the crucial core story is still there and that’s the reason it has resonated with audiences for so long. Which, as it turns out, makes it the perfect fit for the holiday season. “I hope audiences have a beautiful holiday joy infusion,” Watters said. “They will be entertained and get to laugh and those are important experiences to have as a family. These days it is so easy to get distracted by technology but I hope people will leave the show feeling joyful. It’s really fun to come be part of a show that is a real collaboration.” Information and tickets can be found at www.arvadacenter.org.

The average hamburger in Colorado now costs $15 BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN

Over at a Denver-area Red Robin restaurant, the Keep It Simple burger costs $13.49, or nearly $15 with tax. That’s up 31% in a little more than three years, based on old menus posted at restaurant review site, Yelp.com, showing the same no-frills burger at $10.29 in May 2020. It’s not just Red Robin. A lot of burger joints are getting unwanted attention because of their higher prices, with some consumers sharing their shock on social media. It’s also not just burgers. The cost of eating out at a restaurant in Colorado has increased 28.2% since January 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index. Menu prices have gone up at most Colorado eateries, and restaurant owners don’t

really like to talk about it. But one can still find a solid burger at a full-service restaurant for under $15. The Cricket Burger at The Cherry Cricket in Denver is $11.50, up 30% since 2021, the restaurant confirmed. Fries are still $4 but now there are two sizes: a half order and full size, which is $6. “Continuing to provide a delicious product to our guests at a value is paramount to us at the Cherry Cricket. We’re always very hesitant to increase our prices,” Calley McCue, president and chief financial officer for Cherry Cricket’s parent company, Breckenridge-Wynkoop, said in an email. “That said, the dramatic increase in (the cost of goods sold) and labor costs that we’ve seen over the past two years have, unfortunately, necessitated increased prices in order for us to keep operating.”

The City of Westminster’s draft Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) will be posted for review and comment from December 4 through December 19th. Please review and submit comments under Current CDBG Notifications at: www.westminstereconomicdevelopment.org/housing/cdbg The CAPER is an annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) filing that reports on the City’s program year accomplishments. It is used by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to evaluate the City’s progress in meeting one-year goals described in the Annual Action Plan and long-term goals described in the Consolidated Plan. The City welcomes questions and comments from residents about the annual performance review by email at: CDBG@westminsterco.gov, or by voicemail at (303) 658-2414.

The Colorado Restaurant Association & Foundation gets a lot more specific. Earlier this year, the industry group, which has 4,900 member restaurants, put together its own guide to why the price of an average burger has increased to $15. Restaurants have seen an increase of 54% in the cost of labor, 55% for utilities and 20% for equipment and maintenance. The price of beef? Up 43%. Cheese? Up 79%. And lettuce? Up 85%. For restaurants to make the same margin on burgers that they did in 2020, they’d have to charge $22. “Inflation has had a huge impact on menu prices across Colorado, as has the annual increase of the minimum wage,” said Denise Mickelsen, a spokeswoman for the industry association. “The cost of running a restaurant continues to skyrocket, and with typical industry profit margins sitting at a slim 3% to 5%, operators don’t have a lot of wiggle room when

food, alcohol, energy, labor, taxes and more continue to climb. It all leads to higher menu prices, streamlined menu offerings, limited hours of operation and operator burnout.” In October, the restaurant association polled its members about prices. Based on the responses, customers can expect prices to continue to increase next year. About 86% of members who responded said they planned to increase menu prices when the minimum wage goes up 5.6% to $14.42 an hour on Jan. 1. Six out of 10 said they’ll have to cut hours or shifts for their teams.

Keeping the stories of WWII alive Local woman tours the state as Rosie the Riveter BY DIANNE BLOMBERG SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

In Denver and across the front range, author-historian Gail Beaton is keeping the stories and events of WWII alive. As the archivist for the Denver Woman’s Press Club, Beaton uses a unique hook to keep the memories fresh and her audiences engaged. She tells the story from a homefront perspective, in an entertaining and informative account through a character she developed and named, Gail Murphy. This charac-

ter was modeled after one of many women, popularized as “Rosie the Riveter,” who worked at the Denver Ordnance Plant, now the Denver Federal Center. Rosies were those who labored behind the scenes to support not only the war effort, but also the men and women who served. After the war, most Rosies lost their jobs to the returning vets and once again took their positions at home in the kitchen. One reason Beaton is committed to this effort is her concern about the history curriculum in our schools. “There is a push for more learning time to go to reading, math and science, and the social sciences are getting lost. Less history is taught in the classroom,” she said. SEE STORIES, P24

On a bi-partisan vote, the legislature will authorize a $42 million summer meals program for children of low income families. Using $6.7 million in Colorado funds, the program will begin this coming summer with federal funds making up the sizable difference. Colorado is declared “first-in-thenation” to offer such a program. This is a blessing to have such a program come to fruition. However, the larger question is how can the states and the federal government sustain such programs year after year? The same question obviously lurks in the shadows of the sizeable rental assistance programs. With more and more people in need of financial assistance just for the necessities of everyday living, how

can our society sustain the growing costs? There is no magic in where the tax dollars come from. They come from you, me, our neighbors, the local businesses and corporate America. We are not a bottomless bucket of money which our state and federal legislators must understand which also ties-in with our “swinging door” immigration policy. Hometown Christmas and more

But just as evident of the approaching holidays are a couple of favorite Westminster events. On Dec. 1, Hometown Christmas and the lighting of the tallest Christmas tree in Colorado will take place.

Christmas songs being sung, hot chocolate/cookies and of course a visit from Santa Claus all create wonderful memories. Then on Dec. 9, Kids Xmas Shopping Spree and Craft Show will take place at the Westminster Grange on 73rd Ave. across from Fire Station No. 1. Years ago, Bev Capra, a local businesswoman and shop owner, started the idea of a kids’ shopping opportunity to purchase inexpensive gifts for mom and dad, brothers and sisters and others. No gift costs more than $10. In honor of Bev, this year’s event is being organized by Patricia McGuire and Kathleen Ballard who operate Creative Corner next door to the Grange. So, bring the kids to the Grange from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for fun shopping. These community traditions are important to celebrate and uphold. They help create a sense of community which is certainly present in the “Heart of Westminster.”

Over the years, she’s also worked in a variety of positions at Westminster, which she said has given her a broad understanding of the district’s functions. For Gotto, the competency-based philosophy extends beyond basic education to career readiness. In early 2023, Westminster broke ground at Ranum Middle School on a project called Ranum Reimagined, which will redevelop the campus into a career technical education hub. Ranum will provide students with the opportunity to pursue a career while earning their high school diploma. Career and technical education students will collaborate with industry experts and pick up professional certifications, college-level courses and job skills. Like the Competency-Based System, Radum Reimagined is based on the idea that society is changing, and education must evolve with it. “Kids’ pathways are changing,”

Holiday lighting ceremony at City Hall

The annual Holiday Lighting Ceremony at Westminster City Hall will take place on Saturday, Dec. 2 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Mayor Nancy McNally and City Council invite you to a fun, enjoyable time. Besides the traditional lighting ceremony, there will be hot drinks, cookies, Christmas songs, Santa’s arrival and more. This tradition started back in the early 1970’s with the lighting of the Christmas tree placed on top of the former City Hall/Council Chambers (3031 W. 76th Avenue). One year, thanks to Pastor Mike Ware and the Life Fellowship Church, live animals for the manger scene including a camel and donkey were present to the pleasure of all attendees. The tradition continues on Dec. 9 and 16 from 5-7 p.m., with Santa on the Plaza hosted by the Westminster Rotary Club. Bring the kids for a visit with the Jolly Ole Elf himself. Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member. His opinions are not necessarily those of Colorado Community Media. You can contact him at bcjayhawk68@gmail.com. Gotto said. “The university pathway is not where many of them are going. Our students want opportunities that don’t require a 4-year degree, or end up saddling them with significant debt. They’re looking to be ready for the workforce the day after graduation.” The district is also designing career-focused programs that will allow students to find jobs within Westminster and the surrounding area. That means healthcare, manufacturing, public safety, aviation, and business ownership among others. The district is working with an economic not-for-profit to better determine the community’s career needs. “Our hope is to keep them here in our community, and make sure we’re preparing kids for needed careers,” she said. Eventually, Radum will serve more than just Westminster Public Schools students. “At night, our hope is to have offerings for individuals, community members that are looking to retool, and build skills for a next career,” she said. “This isn’t about our current students, but how do we lift the entire community.”

In 1996, as a history teacher at Sheridan High School, Beaton knew she had to come on strong to interest kids in WWII and the role women played. That was the impetus for her Rosie character. She continued the role in her classroom until retiring from teaching in 2005. Beaton has authored many books, and is currently working on her next book about the female homesteaders of Colorado. Word-of-mouth spread and soon

designated on Nov. 18, 2000. Since then, the annual collaborative community effort has helped to bring to attention the more than 113,000 children currently in U.S. foster care waiting for adoption. Partners include the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute, Alliance for Children’s Rights and Children’s Action Network, and the Freddie Mac Foundation. Over 400 communities across the

county, along with Adams County, joined to help children find a forever home and celebrate the adoptions from foster. “To the parents in this room, I want to thank you for your strength, and your courage to accept the responsibility of changing the life of the child that’s in the room,” said Quick. Judge Quick advised the children to remember this day when their parents inevitably embarrass them.

Beaton was getting requests to perform her program in schools and community organizations throughout Colorado and in neighboring states. She is already booking into 2024 with March filling up quickly. “March is National Women’s History month,” Beaton said. “It’s a very busy month for Rosie.” Though Beaton performs for many schools, she cautions that the very young would be difficult to engage. “I was recently asked to perform for a K-12 assembly and I told the liaison the little ones will be lost.” During a recent performance at the Denver Woman’s Press Club, the audience of men and women were fas-

cinated with the presentation that included Rosie in costume and the use of many authentic props. Audience members were filled with questions. The younger attendees in the group wanted details about the hardships these women faced, and the older crowd shared the experiences of their parents during the war. The Denver Woman’s Press Club, located at 1325 Logan St., founded in 1924, was well established by the time the war started. Its contribution to the home-front support was extensive. “Members of the DWPC, like those in other women’s clubs, really stepped up during WWII,” Beaton said. “Being a community of writers and activists, they opened the clubhouse doors to servicemen. One major project was the monthly Writers Roundup for soldiers who were writers or interested in writing.” The female member journalists held sway, especially considering that so many men — journalists included — were off to the battlefields, Beaton added. The Rosies worked in the media as well. Beaton discovered that Lucille Hastings became the first female fulltime news editor on any radio station west of the Mississippi in 1944 when KLZ in Denver hired her for the position. Hastings also formerly served as the editor of the Brighton Blade, now a publication of Colorado Community Media. After the performance at Denver Woman’s Press Club, Linnea Tanner, the club’s president, said, “Beaton inspired everyone in the audience to meet challenges of their own time … to build for the future by understanding the past.” This author-historian continues uncovering myriad stories from key players during WWII and is dedicated to telling them. But Beaton cautions, “of all the women I interviewed for my book, ‘Colorado Woman in WWII,’ only two remain alive. All the others

He joked that his father liked to mow the front lawn in dark dress socks and work shoes. “I’d pray that nobody I knew would come by the house. Luckily, I lived on a dead-end street, so there wasn’t anybody I knew on my street traffic,” Quick said. “But I hope that when you do become teenagers and they embarrass you, you remember your parents had a choice and of all the children in the world – they chose you.”

have died.” In Colorado today, there are 1,910 WWII veterans still alive. Nationally, that number is fewer than 120,000, with 131 dying every day, according to NationalWW2Museum.org. “What I hope to accomplish with this performance is not only tell the women’s stories from WWII, but also encourage the audiences to talk to their elderly friends and family members and ask for their accounts,” Beaton said. “I want people to know that these women were amazing. As I researched for one of my books, I was impressed with how humble they were.” Beaton paused thoughtfully. “They simply told me,” she said, “‘We just did it.’” As a Chautauqua presenter, Gail Beaton is available for booking through Colorado Humanities.

Strong demand among undocumented Coloradans for health coverage BY ERIC GALATAS PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE

Colorado’s Omni-Salud program - which allows low-income undocumented Coloradans and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients to enroll in affordable health insurance plans with financial assistance - saw a surge in demand at the start of the state’s open enrollment period. Raquel Lane-Arellano - communications manager with the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition - said the rush to enroll shows that word is getting out about the program, now in its second year. “It also shows us that there is such a great need for the program,” said

Lane-Arellano, “given that the capacity - which is currently at 11,000 for the Silver Enhanced Savings Program insurance plan - filled up in two days, which was absolutely a record.” Lane-Arellano said the strong demand should move lawmakers to expand investments in Omni-Salud which aims to reduce costs to taxpayers, including expensive emergency room care when patients without insurance can’t pay their bill. Critics say the program forces Colorado taxpayers to subsidize undocumented immigrants’ health insurance against their will, and have called it a violation of the Affordable Care Act. Undocumented Coloradans are

also taxpayers, paying nearly $273 million in federal taxes, and $156 million in state and local taxes in 2018. Lane-Arellano said as the pandemic made very clear, it’s important to ensure that everyone - including front line low-wage workers - can access health care. “Our communities are healthier and stronger when everyone can get the care that they need,” said LaneArellano. “A lot of the folks who are here have been a part of our communities for decades, paying taxes, working, and contributing to our state and local economies.” Undocumented residents can still enroll for coverage through OmniSalud. But unlike some other low-

wage workers in Colorado, they will have to pay market prices without financial assistance. Lane-Arellano said she worries that people may put off seeking care if they can’t afford insurance, which can lead to a cascade of bad outcomes. “They’re forced to take leave from work,” said Lane-Arellano. “They may need to seek emergency services, which costs more. And they may also end up in crushing medical debt due to the severity of the progression of their illness which in a lot of cases is preventable with early treatment.” This Public News Service story via The Associated Press’ Storyshare, of which Colorado Community Media is a member.

Metro area teams, athletes take the podium at CHSAA’s Winter Sports Media Day BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The annual Winter Sports Media Day at Ball Arena from the Colorado High School Activities Association means fan favorites like basketball, wrestling, hockey, swimming and diving and skiing are right around the corner. Student athletes, coaches and teams from every region of Colorado Community Media were in the building on Nov. 13, and all were more than ready to get their respective seasons underway. Here is a breakdown of the events at Media Day by sport. Girls basketball

Of the nearly dozen girls basketball teams to address the media, three were in (or on the fringes of) Colorado Community Media’s coverage area. Holy Family Tigers The reigning 4A state champions from just north of CCM’s dominant coverage area were back in Denver to begin their quest for back-to-back state titles.

The Tigers finished 25-3 last year, defeating runner-up D’Evelyn in the state championship 49-44 to claim their first title since 2014. It is the seventh state title victory in the Broomfield school’s girls basketball history. “When you come to practice you

have to be excellent. When you come to games you have to be excellent,” Head coach Ron Rossi said on their mindset going into this season. “We’re going to take it one at a time knowing that everyone is going to bring their A-game to us. So we have

to bring our A-plus game.” D’Evelyn Jaguars The 4A state runner-ups had to wait their turn behind the champions to speak to the media, but the Jaguars are more focused than ever on getting back to the state title game and getting the job done. After a 27-1 dominant season in 2022, the near Lakewood-based Jaguars ran the 5A/4A Jeffco League last season with a perfect 11-0 record. Head Coach Chris Olson returns his two leading scorers: Peyton Marvel and Macy Scheer. Marvel averaged a double-double last year with 19.5 points and 12.8 rebounds per game. She has averaged a double-double each of her first three seasons at D’Evelyn. “I think there is more pressure,” Scheer said of the upcoming season. “You know it’s going to be harder. We lost some good seniors and we know we’re going to have to work just as hard, if not harder. But we’ve been working in the offseason and I think we’re ready to compete. We’re excited.” SEE SPORTS, P28

Colorado moves closer to implementing a shot clock BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado’s high school basketball programs are a bit closer to seeing a shot clock. The Colorado High School Activities Association’s board of directors officially recommended the use of a 35-second shot clock, effective in the 2026-2027 school year. This summer, CHSAA’s website said three in five athletic directors and district athletic directors wanted a shot clock. While more than half of the rural schools in the state didn’t want a shot clock, 70% of metro area schools wanted it.

More than 300 of the state’s 351 schools that field basketball programs participated in a survey, according to Commissioner Mike Krueger. In October, Krueger said the discussion around using a shot clock focused on two issues. One was the cost of installation, and the other was finding people to train and, ultimately, run the shot clock. “Another important consideration is the education that will be required for our officials and how that training will come about,” Krueger said. “The consensus opinion of member schools across the spectrum, especially of late, seems to be

trending more toward supporting the use of the shot clock. However, there has been a specific emphasis on the need for an implementation timeline that would allow schools the opportunity to prepare for the changes.” Krueger said the National Federation of High Schools adopted a 35-second shot clock two-and-ahalf years ago, but not as a mandate. Last school year, nine state associations adopted the shot clock, according to Krueger. Connecticut, Idaho, Minnesota, North Carolina and Oregon will start using the shot clock this season.

Several area coaches said using a shot clock would bring the game in line with college programs, including Byron Gray, the boys coach at Riverdale Ridge High School. “Some other states already use a shot clock, and every level above high school uses a shot clock in some form. So, it will better align the high school game with the collegiate and pro game,” Gray said in 2020. “Adding a shot clock will also help develop a further understanding of the game. You will need to make good use of time and score.” CHSAA’s legislative council will have the final say during its meeting on Jan. 30.

Football: Ishmael’s season draws accolades, prospects BY STEVE SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

When your season stats include almost 2,400 yards of passing, 26 touchdown tosses, more than 700 rushing yards and five touchdowns – numbers that put him atop the heap in class 3A and No. 2 among all Colorado football players (according to MaxPreps) -- someone is going to take notice. Frederick’s junior quarterback, Gavin Ishmael, is on the receiving end of some of those looks these days. One such organization taking note is Playmaker’s Corner. It’s a podcast focusing “on the next generation of playmakers in sports on and off the field,” according to its website. In addition, it breaks down film, interviews, rankings and discussions “of all things sports.” Playmaker’s Corner thought enough of Ishmael’s season to put him in the final four in its selection of Player of the Year in class 3A football. “It is such a huge privilege to be recognized by them because they do a tremendous job supporting and helping all of us student-athletes,” Ishmael said. “They do a great job with their social media, podcast and overall platform. It’s crazy to think how long I’ve followed them, and now I get the honor of being recognized by them. It’s pretty surreal.” The nomination followed Frederick’s 45-7 win over George Washington in the Golden Eagles’ last home game of the season. “I had one of my best games ever. All of my boys were starving so we were about to grab some hot wings,” Ishmael said. “Hardly any restaurants were open, so we ran to Wendy’s. The workers understandably just want to close and go home. We just grabbed a quick bite. That’s when I found out about the award. “Let’s just say it was the best late night Baconator of my life.” Offseason work pays dividends

Ishmael was surprised at the nomination, largely out of respect for his fellow players and the fact that “we are all trying to be as productive as possible.” “At the end of the day, you have no

control over anyone else, only what you can do and that’s been my approach,” he said. “I really wanted to make every snap, every down, every play count. It’s tempting to check stats and compare yourself to everyone else. I know what it’s like to lead and I definitely know what it’s like to see others pull ahead.” Ishamel said the athletes he admires and respects “don’t live and die by polls and stats.” “They focus on optimizing their personal productivity and let the chips fall where they may,” Ishmael said. “I’m not going to lie, though. When I found out, I was blown away and extremely grateful. You want to do your best, and whenever you’re recognized on any level, it’s important to connect with it and be appreciative.” His off-season work consisted of focusing on personal goals. “Physically I pushed myself in the weight room and came up with a great plan with my coaches,” Ishmael said. “I really concentrated on my nutrition, rest and recovery as well. I really put a lot of time in film study and learning as much as I can about the game. I spent a considerable amount of time running routes with my receivers and building that connection with them.” More to come

On-field success has turned into interest from college football programs. “I think all athletes and their families know what you have to do in order to go to the next level and play in college ..\from getting your film together and your social media presence to going to camps, showcases and game-day visits,” Ishmael said. “Thankfully, others have forged the path and you just have to do those things to the best of your ability.” Ishmael has visited some colleges and made calls to coaches. His plan for the next 18 or so months is to “cast a wide net” and talk to as many schools as he can. “I know it’s not an easy decision, so I’m going to be as thorough as possible and work hard to continue playing football at the next level,” he said. Part of that process includes showcase camps and 7-on-7 scrimmages. But his main area of focus is taking

Frederick quarterback Gavin Ishmael currently leads the Class 3A football teams in total offense and passing yards through eight weeks of play. The Golden Eagles are COURTESY PHOTO 4-4 through eight weeks.

official visits to college campuses during game days. “Showcases are a great way to meet coaches and get connected to schools, and I have found it’s a good way to showcase your abilities but those camps are tough to get quality time with the coaches” Ishmael said. There are so many players looking for the same thing. I think I realized this when I went to the Manning Passing Academy last summer. I’ve always wanted to go and experience it, and it was a bucket list trip. But I talked to some college quarterbacks there, and their advice was to try to get invites to schools, game day visits and actually go to those if possible.” It’s not that those camps don’t help Ishmael. “I’m always analyzing and watching everyone, the guys in 3A, college players and even the pros,” he said. “I watch play styles that are similar to mine, and I always want to be a strong pocket passer who can use his legs to extend plays and can be a threat with the run when needed.” Some of that analysis extends beyond the field. “I watch a lot of podcasts and in-

terviews, not just of football players but elite athletes, free climbers, endurance runners and even Navy Seals,” Ishmael said. “I’m fascinated by their psychology and try to study the mindset of people who do things at the highest levels. So much of what we do is physical, but I truly believe most of it is attitude and mindset. I’m always inspired by that.” Advice

Ishmael thanked “everyone who has helped me get to where I am.” And he offered some advice for players coming up through the prep ranks. “I have some huge dreams and goals that are still a long way off, but I’m so grateful because I have a huge amount of people in my life who have helped me every step of the way,” Ishmael said “One of my favorite sayings is, ‘If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.’ That really says it all, I credit all my success to those who have gone with me on this journey. It’s not just what others can do for me but who can I help along the way as they pursue their dream.”

Grandview Wolves On the cusp of Centennial and Aurora is Grandview High School. The Wolves, back-to-back Class 6A champions, rode a bumpy season to the state title last year. Grandview finished 19-9 and 4-3 in the 6A Centennial League behind Cherry Creek (7-0), Arapahoe (5-2) and Cherokee Trail (5-2). Head Coach Josh Ulitzky said he’s been fortunate to have extremely talented players in recent years and hopes to ride the Wolves’ championship and momentum again. “It helps when you have the Gatorade Player of the Year (in Sienna Betts) on your team, who is arguably the best player in the state,” he said. “It took some time, but the kids really took on their roles. Everybody did

their job (last season) so that made it a lot of fun.” Betts, a junior, recently committed to play for UCLA following her high school career. But fortunately for Grandview, they have her for two more seasons. Boys basketball

Three private-school basketball powerhouses in the CCM coverage area made an appearance on Media Day also. Holy Family Tigers Similar to their girls team counterparts, the Holy Family Tigers won the boys 4A state championship last season, winning for the first time since both the boys and girls teams won in 2014 in a rare double-championship year for one school. But in a 17-11 year, many wouldn’t have picked Holy Family to win last year. The No. 17-seeded Tigers knocked off No. 2-seeded Resurrection Christian in the final to become

the first-ever No. 17 seed to win the state championship in Colorado. The Tigers lost five core seniors, but Head Coach Peter Vellico said he’s confident in his group’s ability to beat anybody. Belleview Christian Bruins In Westminster lies a small school with a big basketball reputation. The Belleview Christian Bruins were the No. 1 seed headed into last year’s Class 1A state championship. Ultimately, the Bruins couldn’t repeat and finished as runner-ups, losing to No. 2 Denver Jewish Day in the final game 55-42. Belleview Christian finished 24-2 and 7-0 in the 1A 5280 League last season. After losing some key seniors, Assistant Coach Billy Rush said the identity doesn’t change at all. “Our identity doesn’t change. We still go out and take pride in playing defense and getting stops,” Rush said. “That’s what’s gotten us to where we were in 2021 when we won a cham-

pionship and then even last year. We have a lot of new faces, but we have the same mindset.” Forge Christian Fury (formerly Faith Christian) Forge Christian Academy (more commonly known as Faith Christian until a recent name and ownership change) had a nearly picture-perfect season last year. The Fury captured the school’s seventh state championship and first since 2012, beating Salida High School 54-47 at the University of Denver. The Arvada-based team went nearly undefeated, posting a 25-1 overall record. The Fury’s sole loss came to 4A/3A Metro League rival Eagle Ridge Academy, but they still won their league at 8-1. Abram Ziemer was a Faith Christian grad before becoming the team’s head coach, and though he wasn’t able to win a title as a player, he was thrilled to finish the job as a coach. SEE SPORTS, P47

He spoke on how difficult it will be to replace some championship seniors. “Replacing a senior is obviously never easy,” he said. “While at the same time, the culture of our program that’s been established even before my time still remains. Any coach will tell you when you have a returning starting point guard, it’s a huge piece for us in Peyton Miller. The guys sitting here are excited about the opportunity.” Swimming and diving

Two different student athletes from opposite sides of the region in swim-

ming and diving spoke to the media on Nov. 13. Charlotte Wilson - Cherry Creek Bruins Cherry Creek clinched its third straight 5A state championship in swimming and diving last season after posting an overall score of 448. That’s now 29 state championships for the school in Greenwood Village, which is the most in the state by any school. As previously reported by CHSAA, Cherry Creek’s 200 freestyle relay team – Alexis Greenhawt, Lawson Ficken, Ana Loveridge and Charlotte Wilson – swam a time of 1 minute, 30.81 seconds. That time broke the Colorado state record that was previously set at 1:33.00 by Cherry Creek

in 2022. That time was just 11 hundredth of a second slower than the national record. Wilson is back with the team this season and said she’s excited about seeing some underclassmen step up this season. “I really think that freshman year is such a year where people come out from under the radar and you don’t even know them yet,” Wilson said. “But I think both freshmen Jenna and Sydney Ferstrom can do very well this year.” Finley Anderson - Evergreen Cougars Perhaps the strongest living dynasty in high school sports in Colorado stays active in Evergreen swimming and diving. The Cougars have won

five straight 3A state championships and don’t plan on slowing down soon. Evergreen finished with 443 points, which is 21 more than the team posted last year. As previously reported by CHSAA, “Finley Anderson won the butterfly in a time of 55.35 seconds. Anderson then repeated in the backstroke by breaking the 3A state record that she had set the previous day during preliminaries. Her time of 54.10 seconds is now just a little more than a second off the all-Colorado state record of legend Missy Franklin.” Anderson is committed to the University of California, Berkeley, but spoke on some remaining high school goals.
