Departure leaves board at crossroads Group now split 3-3 on policies of school district reform

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County School Board member Doug Benevento’s resignation has left the board with three members who support the school district’s reform policies and three who oppose them.

The remaining board members hold

the choice of a replacement, and quite possibly, the direction of the Douglas County School District, in their hands.

“The person who fills this board member vacancy will need to have a common passion for moving forward with the efforts to restore our district back Benevento to its state of excellence,” board member David Ray said.

Judith Reynolds, board vice president, wants to find someone who can “hit the

ground running.”

“I would look for someone with the ability to look at the big-picture issues but still sees the details, someone who is a problem solver and someone who is student focused,” Reynolds said.

Benevento — who was three years into his second term when he announced his resignation Aug. 17 — was a strong supporter of school choice and pay-forperformance for teachers as a member of the reform-minded majority on the board.

An attorney who lives in Highlands Ranch, he was first elected in 2009 and re-elected

in 2013. Term limits would have prevented him from running in the next school board election in November 2017.

Benevento was among the four board members who voted to approve a contract for interim superintendent Erin Kane, president of a local charter school, the night of Aug. 16. Reynolds, board president Meghann Silverthorn and Dr. James Geddes also approved hiring Kane, while the three members who have largely opposed reform measures dissented.

My Name Is

August 26, 2016

NEWS IN A HURRY A glimpse of the people in our community

EVELYN POULO Deck builder, avid reader, passionate do-it-yourselfer Driving to Parker I moved to Parker in August 2011. I drove a 16-wheeler rental truck from Portland to Denver.

I lead the Parker Non-Fiction Book Club on the second Tuesday of every month, and I like to do light hikes, light bike rides, occasional rafting, camping and I love dancing. I am an avid book reader, and I’m fascinated by geology.

I’ve been doing projects on houses I’ve owned since I was 29 years old. I designed and built a four-part deck with lattice structure in my early 30s, which I finished when I was five months pregnant with my second child.

An engineering mind My aptitude tests in high school said I should be a civil or mechanical engineer, but both were male professions at the time, so I chose a different path. However, I did insist that my high school allow me to take drafting, and I was the first girl in my school to take what had been an all-boy class. The boys in the class nicknamed me “Ernie.”

I retired 10 years ago at age 53 after being a software engineer and database administrator. I love programming and databases as much as I love hot fudge sundaes.

I was always attracted to how things where built, especially with wood, and I am fascinated with mechanical objects. When I was younger I helped many boyfriends work on their cars and I learned to tune up my own. When one of my boyfriends want-

ed me to tune up his car I would charge him a home-cooked four-course dinner.

Independ-deck I am almost finished building a deck on my home in Parker. There was nothing difficult about designing it by myself, and I encourage more women to build their own decks. Sixty isn’t too old to learn how to use tools and do-it-yourself.

I used Duct Tape for a third hand, and two car jacks to level wood before attaching it. I used string with levels to ensure my deck was square and level. Now I know why real builders wear work pants with lots of loops and pockets. I was forever walking around looking for something that I had in my hand just 10 minutes ago.

Fixing up the place I replaced chewed-up window sills when I moved in and a lot of trim, and I’m trying to get up the courage to retile my fireplace. I’m currently learning how to fix sprinkler systems and next year I hope to add a drip irrigation system for my garden beds. I also have fencing to fix.

It keeps me out of trouble.

Do you have a suggestion for My name is…?

Fundraiser to promote therapeutic ranch, fight cancer Promise Ranch Therapeutic Riding and the Doreen Katz Memorial Cancer Foundation will host a collaborative fundraiser, “Unbridled Brews,” from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Sept. 9 at the EXDO Event Center at 1399 35th Street, Denver.

The event will feature beers and ciders from breweries in Denver’s RiNo (River North) district and food trucks from the area.

Promise Ranch, in Franktown, provides Equine Assisted Activity and Therapy programs for children, youth, and adults with disabilities and other challenges.

The Doreen Katz Memorial Cancer Foundation currently supports 15 families affected by cancer with their children’s school and extracurricular expenses.

County accepting Youth Congress applications Applications are being accepted for the Douglas County Youth Congress, which

gives high school students the opportunity to participate in the legislative process.

The program, which will be held at the PACE Center in Parker from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 26, unites high school students from throughout Douglas County with area civic leaders, giving teens an opportunity learn how the legislative process works.

“Youth Congress is the perfect opportunity for students to have their voices heard and see that they can make a difference through collaborative problem solving and the sharing of ideas,” said Commissioner and Board Chair Jill Repella.

Topics change each year but a constant theme is that the issues affect the lives of Douglas County youths. Teenagers work to resolve problems and help find solutions for topics such as mental health, human trafficking and sexting.

Students will work with legislators in small groups of 10 students and three civic leaders and have the opportunity to share their ideas and present them at the end of the day. Officials range from county employees to local legislators and town council members.

Online registrations are now being accepted. For more information, contact Youth Services Program Manager Marsha Alston at malston@douglas.co.us or 303-688-4825 ext. 5327. Lunch will be provided and all students will receive 7.5 hours of community service.

Food safety group offers tips for packing lunches STOP Foodborne Illness, a national nonprofit advocate for food safety, is celebrating National Food Safety month in September by offering suggestions to prevent foodborne illnesses in packed school lunches.

Tips to reduce the presence of foodborne bacteria include using insulated lunchboxes and thermoses, placing ice packs in lunchboxes, packing hot foods while they are hot rather than waiting for them to cool, washing produce and keeping it separate from other food items, and reminding children to wash their hands before they eat.

Local girl reaches for the stars Cassie Sams completes first phase of hoped-for career as astronaut

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Since she was 4 years old, Cassie Sams has known she wanted to be an astronaut.

“I was just looking up at the stars and thinking how cool it would be to go there,” the 12-year-old said.

This summer, she took one small step toward that goal.

Sams, a seventh-grader at Cimarron Middle School in Parker, spent June 1217 attending Space Academy at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, a weeklong program for children literally reaching for the stars. Throughout

the week, Sams and her fellow trainees slept in quarters designed to resemble the International Space Station and trained in simulators like those NASA uses.

The week culminated in a simulated mission to the ISS, where the crew conducted experiments and performed a spacewalk. The simulated zero-gravity conditions made it difficult, Sams said, but they also added to the excitement.

“You never really realize what the astronauts are actually doing. You see them on TV and you think `Oh, that would be so cool to do someday,’ but you never actually think how frustrating it could be,” she said. “You never really think of gravity, it’s just always there. So it does get frustrating because you’re just floating upward.”

Another highlight of the experience for Sams was meeting Dottie Metcalf-Linden-

burger, a Fort Collins native and astronaut who shared her firsthand experiences of working in space.

“I’m never going to forget it,” Sams said. “Having known that she went to Space Academy and then she became an astronaut later, it just made me want to do it even more.”

Sams and her teammates were referred to as “Team Deimos,” named for one of Mars’ moons. The name signifies that the students are part of what their trainers dubbed the “Mars Generation.”

“In 2030 or 2040 we’ll be sending people to Mars,” Sams said. “It sounds really fun, even though I know it might be dangerous… There might be signs of life or other species of life on Mars. It might even have the answer to how life was created on Earth.”

Though the average distance from

Earth to Mars is close to 140 million miles, Sams’ sights are set even deeper into space. She said she wants to explore exoplanets, which orbit stars outside our own solar system, to search for other lifeforms. She added that she wants to go herself, rather than trusting the mission to probes.

“You can’t get the same amount or the same kind of information from machines,” she said.

Considering Sams’ determination just to get to Space Academy, it’s easy to believe other solar systems are within her reach. Sams’ mother, Wendy, said Cassie began saving the almost $1,600 it cost for airfare, ground transportation and tuition when she was 4, and paid for everything herself.

“If there’s anyone to do it,” Wendy said, “it’s her.”

Lone Tree resident led heroin ring, indictment says Drugs, gun, cash seized during arrest at apartment

By Josh Sumner jsumner@coloradocommunitymedia.com A Lone Tree man has been named in a grand jury indictment as the leader of a drug-trafficking network throughout the Denver metro area that had $2.2 million worth of heroin seized in recent raids.

Jose DeJesus Bernal-Zamora was at his apartment in the 9000 block of South Yosemite Street when law enforcement officers executed a search warrant July 27, ac-

cording to the indictment, which was issued Aug. 11.

Officers turned up more than a kilogram of heroin, approximately 131 grams of cocaine, a 9mm Beretta pistol and $10,498 in cash during the seizure.

Bernal“The drug epidemic is Zamora still going on, and it’s going to continue,” said Lone Tree interim police Chief Ron Pinson, whose agency was not involved in the operation.

Pinson said the popularity of heroin has risen during his more than 25 years

in law enforcement.

“When I was on the road, you didn’t see heroin,” said Pinson. “If you ran across heroin, it was a surprise. Now, it’s prevalent.”

The raid was part of Operation Muchas Pacas — an investigation that began in August 2015 as a partnership between the Drug Enforcement Administration, Denver Police Department and the West Metro Drug Task Force.

“Stopping the flow and sale of dangerous drugs in Colorado is a major priority of this office” Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman said in a news release.

“This case was a great example of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies

working together to dismantle an international drug trafficking network.”

In its full scope, the operation resulted in the indictments of 25 people as well as the seizure of 47 pounds of heroin, $218,712 in cash, three vehicles and 11 firearms.

Bernal-Zamora faces 20 counts in the indictment. In addition to the drug-trafficking charges, he will also faces counts alleging conspiracy and money laundering.

During its operation, the drug-trafficking organization transported heroin from Mexico through Arizona and into Colorado, the indictment says, adding that the group concealed the drugs in the spare tires of vehicles and in FedEx packages.

Douglas County officials address state panel on marijuana

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County officials were among those who testified at the Aug. 17 meeting of the 2016 Interim Study Committee on Cost-benefit Analysis of Legalized Marijuana in Colorado.

Committee members are state Reps. Dan Pabon, Jonathan Singer and Yeulin Willett and state Sens.

Randy Baumgardner, Irene Aguilar and Chris Holbert, a Parker resident.

Chief Deputy Steve Johnson of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said he was encouraged to hear testimony given by the industry and its desire to be responsible.

He also shared a little about what has been happening in Douglas County.

Johnson, who has 33 years of experience in law enforcement, told committee members that since 2013, there have been more than 130 grow operations in Douglas County. So far this year, the county has verified 40 illegal grow operations. In 2015, there

were 45 for the entire year.

“This is an extreme public safety concern, and required law enforcement to approach the commissioners about enacting an ordinance to prevent these illegal grows from proliferating,” Johnson said.

That ordinance, which is one of the strictest cultivation ordinances in the state, was passed by the Douglas County Board of Commissioners and went into effect Aug. 9.

Besides limiting the number of plants grown at a single residence to 12, the new Douglas County ordinance also prohibits outdoor grows, requires growers to live in the home, and requires tenants of a rental property to have written permission from the property owner before establishing the property as a location where marijuana may be grown, cultivated or processed.

It also prohibits the use of compressed flammable gas products and flammable liquids, and addresses odor.

“The gray market has put local

governments in a difficult position,” Kelly Dunnaway, deputy county attorney for Douglas County, told the committee.

Dunnaway added that he would like to see statewide regulation on the gray market and hopes Colorado will look at Douglas County and use it as a success.

“If someone has 99 plants and properly cultivates them, it would produce the equivalent of being able to smoke six joints a day for 22,000 days,” he said. “With 12 plants, someone could be able to smoke six joints a day for 3,000 days.”

Eric Bergman, policy director at Colorado Counties Inc., a nonprofit organization that helps counties work together on issues, also spoke during the local government impact section of the meeting, emphasizing that residential homes are not suited to grow large quantities of marijuana.

“Counties are ready to partner and find solutions for the next session,” he told the committee.

The interim committee moved

Forward momentum Momentum Athletic Center brings family approach to gymnastics

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Parents of budding gymnasts can tell you the biggest investment they and their children make is time: Children in gymnastics programs can spend anywhere from an hour per week for children in recreational programs to 18 hours for those on the Junior Olympic track.

It’s demanding for children.

And it can be challenging for parents to spend so much time at the gym.

Shannon Fox, one of six owners of Momentum Athletic Center in Parker, said she and the other owners had that in mind when they came up with the idea for their new gym, which opened in June.

“It was super-important for us that it was like a ‘second-home’ environment,” Fox said. “We really wanted to think about the

parents. We thought if we could hire the right coaches and the right staff that would take care of the business side of things, but we wanted to make a comfortable place for parents to spend multiple hours a week.”

Addressing the “business side,” the center’s first hire was their director of operations, Michael Monti. Monti has been coaching gymnastics for 25 years and won the United States Gymnastics Association’s Compulsory Coach of the Year Award in 2015.

“I really enjoy developing the mental side of the program, a program that gets them physically, mentally and psychologically ready to compete at 7 years old,” Monti said.

Hannah Bower, a three-time state champion and a member of the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame, leads the girls’ teams at Momentum, and Brian Spies, a competitive gymnast until he turned 12, directs the recreational program.

Response has been “overwhelming,” according to Monti.

The center enrolled its first 50

families before its opening, practicing in parks in the area until the building was ready. Momentum has between 180 and 190 students as of August, but the goal is to reach 700.

The facility offers two team programs for competitive gymnasts, the USAG Team and the XCEL Team, but there are a host of recreational classes for children, and even some for parents to take with their children.

“All of our programs are equal in our eyes,” Monti said.

Considering that Momentum was created by three families with children in competitive programs and with the buzz about the Olympic Games in Rio, it raises the question of whether the gym’s founders hope to see a former student on an Olympic podium one day.

“No,” said co-owner Kevin Warr, with a smile.

“We don’t have any delusions that we’re going to create an Olympic athlete here,” he said. “But what we do want is for every child to achieve their personal capability.”

Emergency responders prepare for worst Centennial Airport site of training for crash scenario

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Thick clouds of oily black smoke billowed from the Centennial Airport airfield on the night of Aug. 16, illuminated by the flashing red and blue lights of 35 ambulances and fire engines responding to the scene.

But it was all part of the plan.

The South Metro Fire Rescue Authority and Centennial Airport, partnering with the Cunningham Fire Protection District, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, Action Care Ambulance and the Federal Aviation Administration, began three nights of emergency training simulations on Tuesday, preparing responders and airport personnel for a worst-case scenario — a crash with two burning planes and injured victims scattered throughout the area.

“We find it’s absolutely vital to practice theses skills in a realistic environment,” said Eric Hurst, public information officer for the South Metro Fire Protection District. “To have a scenario at night, where it’s confusing to responders coming on scene and to have the smoke… it literally tests every piece of training firefighters

A firefighter lights a kerosene blaze to begin a training simulation for emergency responders at Centennial Airport on Aug. 16. The exercise featured realistic conditions and over two dozen volunteer “victims” to test responders’ skills in extreme conditions. Photo

At approximately 8:30 p.m., a call went out to participating responders who arrived to find two defunct airplane

fuselages, set ablaze with kerosene. High winds fanned the flames and swirled smoke around the site, obscuring visibility and complicating communication.

After water trucks extinguished the flames, firefighters searched the smoldering wreckage and an adjacent ravine for “survivors” made up with realistic mock injuries and transported them to awaiting ambulances and an AirLife helicopter.

Centennial Airport isn’t a commercial airport and isn’t required to do preparedness trainings such as these. But Public Information Officer Deborah Grigsby Smith said the exercises are important to ensuring efficient teamwork if an emergency arises.

“We train on a regular basis to make sure our skills are up to par, so does South Metro, so does law enforcement,” Grigsby Smith said. “What’s really great about a full-scale exercise like this is we all get to come together and test those skills. Something like this forces all of those agencies to come together and to work quickly and efficiently and, sometimes, instantly.”

The airport’s west runway was shut down to allow space for the training, and surrounding residents were alerted to the activity ahead of time via social media and road signs along E-470 and Arapahoe Road. Though Hurst said authorities “tried all the angles” to prevent unnecessary alarm, the smoke carried far enough that a resident in Parker’s Cottonwood neighborhood called 911.

Douglas County website lays out government data Site shares info, services with streamlined programs

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Transparency” has become a popular buzzword in political discussions, and while the term may be newer than the idea, advancing technology is making it a reality.

Douglas County hopes to pioneer the trend with new open data products and services on its website, providing one place

for citizens to find information and programs from all of the county’s departments.

The site, data.douglas.co.us, connects users to budget data, electoral services, property information, recreational programs and traffic alerts, all from one centralized page.

“We wanted to make the information for Douglas County residents more accessible and more relevant,” Douglas County Treasurer Diane Holbert said. “We also wanted to be sensitive to the fact that people really don’t care who does what, they just want their problems solved.”

County Assessor Lisa Frizell said a goal was to increase transparency, but making the county’s services more available to residents was also a priority.

One of the portals, “Douglas County Outdoors,” allows users to filter parks and trails based on features such as trail difficulty, accessibility for pets and proximity.

Another button connects to the “Living Well, Aging Well” feature, displaying a variety of services for senior citizens.

Public Affairs Director Wendy Holmes said the programs and format are a response to the changing needs of an

Littleton

increasingly savvy citizenry.

“We’ve known since 2006 that we have a very sophisticated population in Douglas County, and they’re invested in the use of smartphones and tablets,” Holmes said, adding that designers took that into account and made the programs as mobileand tablet-friendly as possible.

Data Services Project Manager John Thompson said he looks forward to using the technology to help ease the burden of a problem that residents frequently face.

Board Continued from Page 1

“Once we got past the transition to a new interim, I felt like that was a good time to leave and maybe a time for someone new to come in,” Benevento said.

Until a replacement is appointed, Ray, Anne-Marie Lemieux and Wendy Vogel — each of whom was elected in November 2015 — will find themselves on even footing with the senior board members.

Benevento represented District E, which encompasses eastern Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Acres Gree and Castle Pines. A replacement will be required to live in the district and will serve out the remainder of Benevento’s term.

At the next board meeting, scheduled for Sept. 6, the vacancy will be officially announced and a timeline for finding a replacement will be established. Board members will be able to nominate potential candidates for interviews. A nominee will need to receive a board majority to be appointed, according to district policy.

In the event that the board does not select a person to fill the vacancy by the end of the 60th day following the declaration of the vacancy, the president of the board will appoint a person to fill the vacancy as required by law.

Benevento said he doesn’t think his replacement will be much different philosophically from him, but may bring new ideas and new energy that he said the board needs right now. At the same time, it may be difficult for board members to agree on a replacement.

“It’s not inconceivable that ultimately it will come down to (Silverthorn) choosing,” Benevento said.

Ray said Benevento’s resignation is a positive step for the district, a sentiment shared by a pair of community groups.

The group Voices for Public Education said they see the resignation

of Benevento as a win for students, teachers and the community of Douglas County.

“The damage done to our district during his time on the board will take many years to undo,” Amy DeValk said in a statement on behalf of the group.

“The community continues to pressure the reform majority to return the focus of the board to what is best for students and not political agendas. We are hopeful the search for a replacement will be open-minded, transparent and support the needs of students and teachers above all else.”

Community group Douglas County Parents said Benevento’s tenure on the DCSD Board of Education was fraught with controversy and his resignation is “a welcome development.”

“Benevento’s dismissal of community concerns about increased turnover, his recent threats against another director, and chronic absence at board meetings are only a few of the disappointing elements of his time spent on the board,” Douglas County Parents said in a statement. “Moving forward with the selection process, we hope for transparency and the placement of a director who better represents the interests of our community.”

Benevento said the contentious nature of the board over the past year made it difficult to find common ground and work with the other side and that he did not foresee that dynamic changing.

“There seemed to be a lack of seriousness dealing with real issues,” Benevento said. “The board was more centered on drama than substantive issues where people may disagree.”

Ray believes Benevento’s departure may be just what is needed to change that dynamic, saying he is hopeful that Benevento’s “stepping down will continue the process to restore and heal our school district.”

Benevento did what he set out to do

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com After seven years, Doug Benevento leaves the Douglas County School Board with a sense of accomplishment.

“I feel like the things I talked about in the two elections, I’ve done,” the Highlands Ranch resident said. “I understand that there is a minority on the board that doesn’t like them, but honestly, those things are going to be litigated in the 2017 election and they’re not going to change in the next year. I was kind of looking around and saying, ‘Well, what am I staying on the board for?’ “ Benevento, along with board president and fellow reform-advocate Meghann Silverthorn, was the longestserving member of the board. Since 2009, Benevento worked to promote reforms such as increased school choice and pay-for-performance for teachers and was one of the board members who voted to end the district’s longstanding relationship with the teacher’s union.

Many of the Benevento-backed policies drew a long list of detractors, including various community groups and since last fall, other members of the school board.

“Although I rarely saw eye-to-eye with Mr. Benevento and disagreed with

his approach, I certainly give him credit for his seven years of dedicated service,” said David Ray, one of three board members elected in November 2015 who oppose the district’s reforms.

Benevento, who works as an attorney for Xcel Energy, said he is proud of the role he played in increasing school choice, implementing performancebased pay and decentralizing decisionmaking to give more power to schools.

“We expanded choice dramatically,” Benevento said. “If you look at the charter school enrollment when we first came in and the charter school enrollment now, it’s significantly up, and they are quality charter schools. They’re up because we attracted them and did things like equalizing funding for charters and working with them to find land in our high-population area.”

Silverthorn calls Benevento a “longtime friend.”

“He was the last remaining colleague I had from my initial election to the board in 2009,” Silverthorn said. “I wish him the very best in his future endeavors.”

Benevento said he would not speak on his legacy, as that is “for presidents, not school board members.”

“We absolutely did important things,” he said, “and those important things will carry on.”

Interim superintendent’s contract approved School board offers Kane $240,000 for one-year post

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County school board officially approved Erin Kane, an engineer and executive director of a local charter school, as the district’s interim superintendent with a $240,000-a-year salary.

By a 4-3 vote, the board approved a oneyear contract for Kane at its Aug. 16 meeting. Pending Kane’s formal acceptance, the contract would begin Sept. 1 and end Aug. 31, 2017. A provision allows the contract to be extended on a month-to-month basis if board members and Kane agree.

As part of her compensation package, Kane, who is executive director at the American Academy K-8 charter school, will also receive 35 days of paid time off annually, health and retirement benefits.

Former Superintendent Kane Elizabeth Fagen, who left in July to lead a school district in Texas, had a salary of $273,715.

“I believe this represents a quality agreement that will send a market signal to our future superintendent,” Douglas County Board of Education President Meghann Silverthorn said. “We want to attract good future superintendent candidates. That being said, I think many items in here show what we are willing to offer a chief executive in our district.”

The contract was met with resistance from board members David Ray, AnneMarie Lemieux and Wendy Vogel, who raised concerns about the salary, which they believe is too high compared to other comparable districts in the state, as well as the amount of paid time off and various aspects of contract language.

Kane’s salary is more than that of superintendents in two nearby suburban districts: Littleton’s superintendent earns $220,000

and Jefferson County’s $194,000. But it is less than the leader of the Cherry Creek district, who makes $247,000, according to figures from the Colorado Department of Education.

Ray also expressed concerns about Kane’s lack of experience in the classroom, which echoed sentiments of some parent groups in previous weeks.

“I’m really concerned about what message we are sending to the profession when we send a message that states you don’t need a degree in education. You don’t need to have classroom experience. You don’t need a license to be an administrator,” Ray said. “To me, it’s a real compromise to what I consider professionalism in terms of what it means to be a professional educator.”

Kane was selected as the lone finalist from two candidates and approved by a 4-3 vote of the Douglas County school board at a special meeting Aug. 2. The other candidate was James Calhoun, the recently retired principal of Castle View High School in Castle Rock.

“Erin is an experienced professional with the skill set that is right for this transition period in our district,” Silverthorn said. “She is a proven leader who will help further our philosophy that individual school communities know what is best for their students, and should be trusted to make those decisions. She is a respected administrator at the American Academy family of schools. I look forward to working with her as she moves our district forward through conversations with our students, teachers, parents, and community members. “ A Colorado native with an engineering degree in applied mathematics and computer science from the University of Colorado, helped found American Academy.

She has served as executive director since 2013.

American Academy is a charter K-8 school in the district with two locations, one each in Castle Pines and Parker.

The search for a permanent replacement will likely last several months.

The Douglas County School District has 67,000 students and 7,700 employees.

Pointing fingers and placing blame I am not sure if I can remember a time where finger pointing and blaming others has been more prevalent in all of society than it is right now. It seems easier to hide behind the mistakes of someone else or even create the mistakes of another person than it is to take ownership and to hold ourselves accountable for our own actions and words.

Now I am not the first one to share this next bit of advice when it comes to pointing fingers and placing blame, and I am sure I will not be the last one to share it with you either. But we have to remember that when we point the finger of blame at someone else, there are usually three fingers on our hand pointing directly back at us.

Obviously it’s the media’s fault for corrupting the election for Donald Trump.

There is no question it is the previous secretaries of state who should be blamed for recommending the use of personal email accounts for Hillary Clinton. It must be the other driver’s fault for beeping their horn when we swerved into their lane while reading a text. And it is clearly the umpire’s failure to call balls and strikes accurately that leaves a batter walking back to the dugout in contempt of a called third strike. And it is never the salesperson’s fault for losing an opportunity, it must have been the prospect or customer who screwed up the deal.

Even some of the elite athletes from around the globe, the world’s finest physical

specimens, were found pointing the fingers of blame on weather conditions, the city of Rio, officials, and other reasons they may have missed out on earning a medal. Now don’t get me wrong, I am not saying it’s everyone, it just seems to me that it is happening more Michael Norton and more and being accepted and even tolWINNING erated more and more WORDS as well.

There is nothing like a great victory speech. I love an inspiring business leader, athlete, coach or politician who can talk about the dedication and commitment that it took to win, and do it with grace, confidence, and conviction. But I think I enjoy seeing and hearing from people who lost and who handle the loss with even more grace and courage. The business leader who finds herself sharing why the stock of the company went down, recognizes where the mistakes were made, and doesn’t place blame anywhere else but squarely upon her shoulders. The coach who says we were just outplayed and lost to a great team. The athlete who congratulates the winner and commits to working harder and preparing

better for the rematch. The salesperson who says they were simply outsold. The driver who recognizes that texting and driving is a really really really bad idea.

We love to accept the accolades for success, but for many of us it is just too hard to accept the ownership of our mistakes.

Maybe we do it to save face, so that we look better in front of family, friends and coworkers. Maybe we just can’t believe that we are actually capable of fault, living with the mentality of “It’s not me, it’s you.”

If there were a way to keep count, track records, and give awards for making mistakes, that may be a contest that I could actually win. I sure have made my share along the way. How about you? Do you own up to your own errors and losses or are you someone who prefers to point the finger of blame at someone else? If you are, just look down and you will see three fingers pointing right back at you.

I would love to hear your thoughts on finger pointing and placing blame at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we take ownership and accountability for our own mistakes and losses, it really will be a better than good week.

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

‘Smuggling’ to rise along with tobacco tax hike An initiative that may appear on Colorado’s November’s ballot would, if adopted, nearly triple the state’s current cigarette excise tax. This, we believe the evidence shows, will usher in a wave of cigarette smuggling and other undesirable consequences.

Michael LaFaive Voters should think twice before adopting this tax increase. Research shows high excise taxes invite scofflaws to traffic in illicit cigarettes, encourage corruption among public officials and trigger violence against people, property and police.

We created a staTodd Nesbit tistical model in 2008 to measure how many GUEST packs of cigarettes are smuggled into or out COLUMN of American states and have updated it routinely since then. In our latest analysis, which uses data through 2013, we find that Colorado has a relatively low smuggling rate of about 12 percent. Most of the smuggling comes from what we call “casual” smuggling.

The casual smuggler is the Coloradan who crosses into a different city, county, state or taxing jurisdiction to buy cigarettes, or buys them online. The key is that the person buys cigarettes for his or her own use.

Contrast this with “commercial” smuggling, which is an organized crime that brings in truckloads of cigarettes from distant locales to be sold illegally in Colorado. This happens all over the country — for example, cigarettes with Virginia tax stamps have been confiscated in California. (A tax stamp is

Charter schools perform well, continue to grow quickly

Every three years, the Colorado Department of Education publishes a comprehensive report on Colorado’s charter school sector. The 2016 State of Charter Schools report was published last month. The report — and its unsurprisingly encouraging findings — could hardly have arrived at a more critical juncture.

Charter schools are tuition-free public schools that operate with increased autonomy through a system of waivers from certain requirements. They are an integral part of public education in America. Yet these public schools increasingly find themselves under attack in Colorado and across the United States.

The Colorado Education Association and its allies backed efforts to complicate the waiver process for charter schools during Colorado’s 2016 legislative session. This alliance also aggressively opposed efforts to fund charter school students equitably under voterapproved property tax increases, thereby perpetuating a system under which Colorado charter schools annually receive roughly $2,000 less per pupil than their traditional public counterparts. This shortfall partially explains why charter school teachers make nearly 30 percent less on average than their traditional public colleagues.

I listened to the B-side of “Blue Moon,” the Marcels’ biggest hit, and thought “Most of All” was better.

Doris Day movies and Jerry Lewis movies were intended, I think, to amuse me. “M*A*S*H” and “Friends” and “Seinfeld” were intended to amuse me. No, no, no, no and no.

evidence that the pack is subject to the taxing authority of a particular state.)

We have spent much of our working lives since 2006 studying cross-border economic activities, including crossborder tax avoidance and evasion. When cigarettes are involved, we typically call both tax avoidance and tax evasion “smuggling,” although not all tax avoidance is illegal. Using our statistical model, we have calculated what would happen if Colorado were to increase its excise tax from 84 cents per pack to $2.59 per pack.

Our model tells us that smuggling would leap from 12 percent of all cigarettes consumed to a stunning 36 percent, a tripling of the smuggling rate to go with the tripling of the excise tax. Half of those smokes would come from casual smuggling and half from commercial smuggling.

About half the smuggled cigarettes would be bought in from nearby states with lower excise taxes, including Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska. The other half would come from more distant states, but only Kansas separates Colorado from the lowest-taxed cigarettes in the country: Missouri, which levies just 17 cents of tax per pack. It would be naive to think that smuggled cigarettes wouldn’t roll into Colorado by the truckload from Missouri and more distant states if this tax hike were adopted by voters.

We are not the only scholars to calculate smuggling rates nationwide.

Economist Michael Lovenheim published a study in 2008 estimating the national smuggling rate among consumers to be between 13 percent and 25 percent. Other estimates we have reviewed place national evasion and avoidance rates as low as 4 percent and as high as 21 percent.

Studies that zero in on particular localities peg rates much higher.

These assaults defied any credible policy logic, but they provided an opportunity to rally anticharter forces against the expansion of parental choice in public education.

This begs the question: What exactly are Ross Izard they rallying against?

Charter schools GUEST in Colorado now educate a higher COLUMN percentage of minority students than non-charter schools.

They also outpace the state in the percentage of English-language learners served. Although public charter schools serve a lower percentage of low-income students than their traditional public counterparts, the gap is narrowing. The percentage of low-income charter students has roughly doubled since 2001.

Colorado charter schools continue to serve a lower percentage of students who require special education. However, a 2014 study on the subject in Colorado indicates that these differences are primarily explained by differences in application patterns and student classification, not the systematic “counseling

out” of special education students often alleged by charter opponents. In fact, the study found that significantly fewer students with individualized education plans exited charter schools than exited traditional schools at the elementary level. There was no significant difference in exit rates at the middle school level.

When it comes to academics, charter schools tend to surpass traditional public schools. With only a handful of exceptions, the 2016 State of Charter Schools report found that charters outperformed non-charters in both proficiency rates and student growth on statewide assessments. Though more analysis is needed, these positive results appear to hold true for both the older TCAP assessment and the newer, more difficult PARCC assessments.

Most importantly, the explosive expansion of Colorado’s charter sector indicates that these schools are serving a significant — and growing — demand for educational options on the part of Colorado parents. The state’s first two charter schools opened in 1993-94. By 2015-16, that number had grown to 226 — an 11,200 percent increase.

Charter enrollment growth has dramatically outpaced non-charter enrollment growth, and the gap continues to grow. In 2015-16, charter schools served more than 108,000 students statewide.

That represents a 30 percent increase in enrollment since 2011-12.

Though individual reasons for choosing a charter school vary, it is clear that Colorado parents are seizing opportunities for educational choice in droves.

None of this is to say that all is perfect in Colorado’s charter sector. Charter school four-year graduation and postsecondary enrollment rates lag significantly behind those of traditional public schools in Colorado. These gaps are largely explained by the charter sector’s higher proportion of online and alternative schools, which often serve extremely difficult populations of students. Yet demography must never become an excuse. As always, there is work to do.

Even so, it is clear that charter schools in Colorado are meeting the needs of an increasingly diverse population of students. Meanwhile, the sector is expanding rapidly to meet the demand of parents hungry for educational options and opportunities.

Charter opponents will no doubt continue to fight the tide. But standing between parents and the educational options they know their children deserve is unwise, and I have little doubt about which side will prevail in the end.

If it has a laugh track, I refuse to watch it. It’s telling me when to laugh. It’s telling me that something that isn’t funny is funny.

P.G. Wodehouse was a wit. Garry Marshall, rest in peace, was not.

“Happy Days” was not.

Gary Larson was. “Where have you gone, Gary Larson, a nation turns its lonely eyes to you?”

Our first television didn’t come with a remote.

And I wasn’t allowed to change the channels.

So I sat there and put up with Ralph

screaming down Alice’s throat.

“Why is that funny?” I asked my father.

A few years later, Archie treated Edith like she was a dope.

“Why is that funny?”

One day I heard Louie Armstrong’s “Stardust.” Supernatural.

Years later, Woody Allen used the same recording in “Stardust Memories.”

Like him or not, his soundtracks are brilliant.

Allen is brilliant too. Others think he is a self-absorbed creep, and probably would rather watch Kathy Griffith at midnight.

I know someone who turns on her car radio, finds her favorite station, and leaves it there, no matter what.

She puts up with Hall and Oates.

I couldn’t do it.

She puts up with Adele, Jimmy Buffett, and Garth somebody.

I couldn’t do it.

Here’s your homework: watch the YouTube of Steve Martin’s tribute to Paul Simon at the Kennedy Center in 2002.

It’s good humor and good music.

If the lawlessness associated with smuggling weren’t problematic enough, there are more troubles. The trade has also been associated with murder-forhire, corruption of and violence against police, brazen retail and wholesale theft of cigarettes, and even providing money for terrorists.

On July 25, a New Jersey man was charged with smuggling $9.5 million worth of cigarettes. He is accused of smuggling low-tax (30 cents per pack) Virginia cigarettes into the high-tax ($2.70 per pack) Garden State for resale. Late last year, a New Jersey corrections officer was sentenced to two years for his role in smuggling cigarettes into the Essex County Correctional Facility.

The lessons from these two New Jersey events should not be lost on policymakers. If officials can’t keep contraband smokes out of prisons, how could they possibly keep them from entering a state’s borders? If the proposed ballot initiative were approved, Colorado would have a tax rate nearly equal to New Jersey’s. It would also have all the smuggling related problems faced by law enforcement there.

Public policy decisions require tradeoffs. Raising taxes on a good, for example, will discourage its use (an intended consequence of taxing cigarettes, but a negative one in taxing income). But it could also incentivize illegal trafficking of that good. This illegal trafficking is an unintended and costly consequence of raising cigarette taxes. Colorado policymakers, and voters, should take these consequences into account when they are deciding how much to tax these goods.

Families on the fast track Drag racing offers ways for all ages to compete

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com

About 40,000 people in the world are licensed to compete in drag racing, and for many of them, racing is a family tradition.

The modern sport was established in 1951 and was designed for adult drivers. But the National Hot Rod Association looked into the future for drivers and expanded its reach to the younger generation by establishing junior dragster racing in 1991. About 3,000 young people are licensed junior dragster competitors.

Some metro-area families Families gather around the junior dragsters in the staging lanes during a June 24 event for the young drivers. Junior dragsters opened have two or three generations the sport to 5- to 17-year-olds making it more family friendly. In many cases, family members of junior dragsters also compete in the involved in the sport. sport. Photos by Tom Munds

The Bandimeres In the Denver area, the family drag racing tradition extends beyond the pits and the stands as Bandimere Speedway in Morrison, nicknamed Thunder Mountain, has been owned and operated by the family of the same name for 59 years.

John Bandimere Sr. established the track and his son John Bandimere Jr. ran it for many years. Now the track website lists track management as Tami Bandimere Shrader, president, her dad John Bandimere Jr. as chief spiritual officer and her brother John Bandimere III as general manager and vice president of marketing.

“I grew up at the track and did a lot of different jobs here with no real plans to make this a career,” Schrader said. “I graduated from high school, went to college for a year and then took secretarial courses at Barnes Business College.”

She said she did secretarial work for a couple different companies for about six years.

“I working for a company that was making cuts in 1987 when Dad called me,” the Littleton resident said. “He

said his secretary had just left the company and asked if I wanted the job. I took it and I have been here ever since.”

Shrader said her dad stressed family involvement and treating everyone through the gate as family members.

Her brother also didn’t plan to make a career of working in the family business.

“I went to college to study to be an accountant, then switched my major and completed my degree in management,” said John III, nicknamed Sporty. “Dad called and said he needed some help with our auto parts business so I joined the company in 1987 and I have been here ever since.”

He runs a lot of the operations but he also competes in the sport as he drives a jet dragster.

“I love being a part of the family business here at the track and I love the sport of drag racing,” the Lakewood resident said. “I went to college but Dad taught me a lot about how we should learn from our mistakes, try a different path and maybe hit a home run.”

Vicky Johnson sits in the staging lanes waiting to make a timing run in her dragster. The sport is a family affair for Vicky, her husband, her daughter and her son.

John Bandimere III and his sister Tami Shrader smile for the camera in front of a funny car at Bandimere Speedway. The track is family owned and operated. The brother and sister now head the management team of the track started by their grandfather. It has been owned and operated by family members for the past 59 years.

The Johnson family of Arvada also is building a drag racing family tradition.

Vicky Johnson said she was watching her dad and her brothers compete in drag racing before she started driving.

“I just grew up with the sport as a spectator. But then I met my husband Steve, who is a drag racer.

One weekend he asked me if I wanted to try driving. I said yes. I loved it and I’ve been behind the wheel ever since,” she said. “Our kids grew up around drag racing

and they are now involved too.”

Vicky is now sharing her car with her 20-year-old daughter Bri. Vicki runs in the Fast 16 class and then, with a few changes, her daughter drives the car in the super comp class. The couple’s son Blake is 17 and racing for the final year in the junior dragsters, and his mother said he plans to complete the required classes and earn his license so he can begin competing along with his dad, mom and sister.

Littleton resident Troy Kaiser, left, checks over the motor of his drag racer with the help of his dad, Junior.

Troy and his two sons are involved in drag racing competition and he said he loves the sport because he gets to spend time with his family, as they all enjoy the competition.

The Kaisers Drag racing is a family tradition for the Kaisers, with granddad, dad and sons all competing in the sport.

Troy Kaiser, a Littleton resident, followed in the footsteps of his dad, Junior, who drove in the 1960s and is still driving. Now, his sons are drivers.

He said the boys have sort of taken over all his spare time as both 13-year-old Landon and 11-year-old Branson are involved in football, basketball and drag racing.

“My most fun at this time in my life is being with my kids and supporting them in all they do,” he said when he joined his boys at the June 24-26 junior drag racing competition at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison.

Landon said he loves all sports and while drag racing is No. 1, football is like a No. 1A on his list of favorites.

“Drag racing is No. 1 because it is impossible to describe how much fun it is to be part of the sport, to get behind the wheel and go fast,” he said. “It is also special because I am able to be with my family as we all take part and share in the love of drag racing.”

W r

Christy Steirs, the young drivers’ mother, said the boys spent a lot of weekends at the track because her husband and their uncle Roy Anderson are racing competitors.

“Now they are in junior dragsters,” she said.

Student show explores archetypes Museum Outdoor Arts hosts Design and Build exhibition

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Archetype Revival” explores ways in which traditional archetypes can be reinvented — the theme for the 2016 class of nine Design and Build students at Museum Outdoor Arts this summer. Traditional archetypes can indeed be reinvented — and a group working together can do some really creative thinking and problem solving, both intellectually and technically.

“Original Forms and players are explored: from Tarot Card characters to classical Greek Theater. The Jungian Figures — from Hero to Trickster are also redefined …,” says the program. The viewer is invited to reinvent as well.

Working under the direction of Master Artist Cory Gilstrap for eight weeks, the group of college-age artists created collaborative pieces, such as “Grizzly-Oscar,” which rears up to meet the visitor just inside the gallery doors.

Built on a taxidermist’s huge grizzly bear form, Oscar has a smile and a coat of cheerful plaid quilt scraps stitched together in lieu of a furry coat. The group also built “Teacup Teddy,” a bit farther in, a more approachable, smaller teddy bear type which is made from broken china cups and saucers glued over a teddy form.

One immediately starts forming ideas and words to talk about the contrast.

Along the walls are individual projects by each artist as well as more collaborative works: “Happy Weapons,” for example, features a group of weapons intended to kill, but delicately covered by beautiful silk flowers. Their statement comments, “By rendering the devices impractical, the piece highlights the true purpose of weaponry.”

A complex assemblage of traditional forms set on and around a mantel — and painted shades of gray — is called “The Collective Unconscious,” and the explana-

“The Collective Unconscious,” a collaborative assemblage by the 2016 Design and Build Emerging Artists, refers to Carl Jung’s theories about the human psyche. It appears in the 2016 exhibit, “Archetype Revival.” Photo by Tim Vacca tion refers to Carl Jung, who “theorized the human psyche as being comprised of archetypes — universal or mythic characters, images, patterns and symbols that are models of people, behaviors and personalities, which reside in the unconscious mind and are shared among all human beings. The structure from which these archetypes arise is called the Collective Unconscious.”

Plan to allow some time to visit this engaging exhibit. One needs to circle around

and make multiple visits to groups of objects and single items and contemplate the explanations given and their interrelationships.

The students involved are both local and from across the country: Alyssa Edmunds, Colen Hansen, Tiffany Matheson, Kalli Padgett, Travis Powell, Emma Scher, Brennan Turner, Amanda Vela and Natasha Vidger. There is an exhibit by Design and Build alumni in the atrium: Lanka, Georges Loewenguth and Jesse Nickell.

Welch’s paintings record local scene Artist will have works in September show

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “My thing is color,” Castle Rock artist Cindy Welch states to open a conversation. She has finished a new watercolor called “Perspective,” which shows the many hues visible in the huge face of Castle Rock’s namesake geological formation. On the very top are two figures who have made the climb up from the base — dwarfed by that enormous star.

Welch will have a booth in the 2016 Colorado Artfest on Sept. 10 and 11 in downtown Castle Rock — look for her display of bright, engaging watercolors and her related prints of historic buildings in Castle Rock, which portray favorite spots such as the Castle Café and Augustine Grill. This will be the 27th annual Artfest, a juried art show organized by the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce. It attracts more than 170 artists from across the country on the weekend after Labor Day. In addition to a great variety of art, there will be food and music, children’s activities and new this year: “The Rock After Dark VIP Event” from 6:30 to 10 p.m. will offer live music, food and more.

Welch is a Colorado native and has lived in Castle Rock for 25 years. A graduate of Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, she has worked for many years as a graphic artist and started “painting for fun” nine years ago. Now, she is best known for her paintings of local scenery and historic buildings. She

No pets allowed. appeals to the viewer with vibrant color while retaining a level of realism, she says. Fascinated with Colorado history, she continues to add to her collection of images of local buildings.

She was recently recognized in Northlight Publishing’s annual edition of the “Splash” book series, featuring the best watercolor paintings from across the country. Hers is the image of “Castle Rock Feed and Supply.” In January, she had a solo “Commissioner’s Choice” exhibit at Lone Tree Arts Center and in September, she will hang an exhibit in the Healing Arts Exhibit series at Castle Rock Adventist Hospital.

She paints slowly and carefully in her studio — from photographs she has taken — and is not involved in the current “Plein Air” craze. She works on one at a time, due to limited space — and has a number of prints made from each painting when it is completed. These offer an affordable way to enjoy a sun-lit picture in the office or home.

Welch will be Cherokee Ranch and Castle’s Artist-in-Residence in 2017 and looks forward to adding a series of scenes from that beautiful location to the one she has completed of the castle.

5 DOG FACTS

1. Dogs see in color, but not the same way that we do. Veterinary ophthalmologists have found that dogs are similar to people with red/green color blindness, meaning they can see bluish and greenish shades but not reddish ones.

2. According to a recent survey, the most popular name for a dog is Max. Other popular names include Molly, Sam, Zach, and Maggie.

3. An estimated 1 million dogs in the United States have been named the primary beneficiary in their owner’s will.

4. Contrary to popular belief, dogs do not sweat by salivating.

They sweat through the pads of their feet.

5. Every known dog, except the chow, has a pink tongue - a chow’s tongue is black.

5 CAT FACTS 1. Cats can see color. Studies have shown that cats can distinguish between red and green; red and blue; red and gray; green and blue; green and gray; blue and gray; yellow and blue, and yellow and gray.

2. A cat sees about 6 times better than a human at night.

3. A cat uses its whiskers as feelers to determine if a space is too small to squeeze through.

4. A cat can be either right-pawed or left-pawed.

5. A cat can jump as much as 7 times its height.

Keeping your

DOG

fit and healthy!

Article by Brandpoint For pet owners and their four-legged friends, interacting with other dogs provides great opportunities for exercise and socialization. Whether it’s playing at the dog park, hiking through the woods, strolling around town or making new friends at doggy daycare, these activities can improve your dog’s mental and physical well-being. They can also put your dog at risk for exposure to health threats.

An ounce of prevention...

“We all love getting out of the house with our furry friends but it’s important to remember that serious danger lurks in the grass, community water bowl or, if you travel with your dog, in another city,” advises Julia Szabo, pet lifestyle expert. “With the right knowledge, advice from your trusted veterinarian and some simple preventive measures, it’s easy to keep your dog happy and healthy.”

What pet owners need to know to protect their dogs: • Ensure your dog’s vaccinations are up to date.

•Always discuss your pet’s lifestyle with your veterinarian to identify potential health risks and preventive measures.

•Remember to mention travel if your dog goes on the road with you, as other areas of the country may represent different health threats than what you face at home.

•Keep your pet away from wild animals, as they often carry disease, and don’t allow your dog to drink from unclean water sources given that certain diseases can be spread there.

• Check regularly for ticks, which will help reduce the risk of disease transmission. Lyme disease, for example, can impact your pet’s health, as well as your own.

• Fleas don’t just live on your pet; they also live in your home. Vacuuming thoroughly can kill fleas and remove their eggs, helping you stop infestations. After vacuuming, seal the vacuum bag in a garbage bag and discard it in an outdoor trash container.

“Fleas and ticks are year-round hazards in many areas of the country, so it’s critical to talk to your veterinarian about choosing the right product to protect your pets from these parasites and keep them out of homes,” recommends Szabo. “BRAVECTO (fluralaner) is the only oral chew to deliver flea and tick protection to dogs for up to 12 full weeks. Bravecto kills fleas, prevents flea infestations, and kills ticks (black-legged tick, American dog tick, and brown dog tick) for 12 weeks.

It also kills lone star ticks for 8 weeks.”

Canine Influenza: An increasing health threat You can get the flu but did you know your dog can as well? It’s called canine influenza (CIV) - or dog flu - and cases of it have been popping up all over the country. In fact, canine influenza has impacted dogs in more than half the country - just since March 2015 - and new cases are being diagnosed every week.

“I’ve seen the devastating impact of CIV first hand - both on a dog’s health and the emotional toll it takes on owners,” said veterinarian Natalie Marks, DVM, and co-owner of the Blum Animal Hospital in Chicago. “When CIV H3N2 broke in our area, we were seeing upwards of 15 cases a day at times and were scrambling to stop the spread of this very contagious disease. Now we know what we are dealing with and are able to protect at-risk dogs through vaccination and other measures. I strongly recommend that pet owners with dogs that are social and regularly commingle with other dogs speak to their veterinarian now about what is right for their pet and to fully understand what puts a dog at risk for CIV.” If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, talk with your veterinarian to determine whether CIV vaccination is appropriate for your dog.

To learn more about protection against CIV, fleas and ticks, and other pet wellness topics, please visit MyPet.com.

There are two strains of canine influenza present in the dog population - H3N8 and H3N2, the latter is an Asian strain of CIV and is brand new in the United States. Because CIV is so contagious, infection can spread quickly among social dogs.

Vaccinating for both strains of CIV and minimizing exposure to potential risk factors are critical to protecting your pet.

Know your dog’s risk. Does your dog: • Play at dog parks?

• Visit doggie day care?

• Board or stay at a pet hotel?

• Visit a groomer?

• Attend dog shows or other social events with dogs?

•Greet other dogs during walks?

“They did the right thing,” Hurst said.

The entire exercise lasted just under an hour between fires being lit and a “tailboard-after-action review,” a meeting at the scene for responders to speak openly about what went well and what didn’t while the incident is fresh in everyone’s minds.

“Everything went according to how our policies and procedures work,” Hurst said.

Hurst, who observed the exercise from across the ravine, said he was as impressed with the training’s realistic feel as he was with the successful outcome.

“Very few of our trainings are quite as real as this one looked,” he said. “I was thinking: ‘Wow, we just hit this one out of the park.’ ”

Holmes also said the tool is a time saver for anyone looking into real estate information. In a demonstration, Thompson and Frizell went from the total number of building permits issued in Douglas County to the total for Highlands Ranch down to the types of permits issued, all in less than a minute. Hovering the cursor over the homes on a map displayed the types of permits, their issue dates and costs.

Molly Armbrister, a real estate reporter with the Denver Business Journal, said she recently used the website for a story on increasing development in Douglas County,

and was so impressed by the website she “exclaimed out loud” in her office.

“It was really quick and easy,” she said.

“All of the documents were readily available and the documents I needed were easy to find.”

Frizell said Douglas County has “always led the pack” when it comes to transparency and access to government data, and she’s equally excited about how users will use the website to connect with community activities.

But she said added that the work isn’t done.

“This isn’t the culmination of an effort,” Frizell said. “This is just the beginning of the journey.”

Burden of ‘Proof ’ Legend High School actors take pro approach to summer play

‘PROOF’ SHOWTIMES AND INFORMATION

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com High school plays aren’t typically known for high-concept subject matter, but the theater department at Legend High School aims to change that.

On Aug. 25, 26 and 27, the school will host four showings of “Proof,” a Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play by American playwright David Auburn. The cast and crew are taking a unique approach to every aspect of the production, from an intimate, theater-in-the-round seating design to the subject matter the play explores.

“It’s definitely got more dimensions than most plays,” said female lead Annika Radovcich, a Legend senior who plays Catherine, a young woman with a deep intellect. Aside from learning 80 pages worth of lines, Radovcich said playing a complex character pushed her skills beyond what she used in other school plays.

“She’s probably the most in-depth, real character I’ve had to play,” Radovcich said. “She was a lot to take on.”

Technical Theater Director Bennie Palko said the show includes more drama, introspection and humor than most high school plays, but that was the objective.

“The goal with the summer stock is to get as close to what you’re going to experience in a small professional theater production as we can in a high school setting,” Palko said.

The plot revolves around the relationship between Catherine and her father, Robert, a mathematics professor. They are both geniuses struggling with mental illness. After Robert’s death, Catherine is left to reconcile their relationship as one of his former students emerges with evidence that may discredit Robert’s life’s work.

“It absolutely is a drama,” Palko said,

Showtimes: 7 p.m. on Aug. 25, 26 and Aug. 27 at the Legend High School auditorium.

A benefit show will be held at 2 p.m. on Aug. 27 with proceeds going to Castle View High School and the family of Aaron DeYoung, a theater teacher at Castle View who died suddenly over the summer.

Tickets: $5 students and senior citizens $10 adults A $5 upgrade is available at the door which includes above-stage seating and refreshments.

adding that audiences can expect to laugh as well. “It really is actually funny, it has its lighter moments.”

Senior Hadley Schmidt, an understudy for the role of Catherine’s sister Claire, said one of her favorite parts of the experience was the teamwork between cast and crew.

“We’ve grown so much,” Schmidt said.

“To see everyone come together for this is really cool.”

Schmidt said she also appreciated the play’s focus on interpersonal relationships, but she thinks audience members will all find their own meaning.

“I hope everyone can take something away from it that’s personal to them,” Schmidt said.

One of the things Palko took away from the production is not to judge the talent she works with by their age.

“They came up with stuff I hadn’t even though of, and that steered the show in a different direction,” Palko said. “It was actually a more collaborative process than some of the professional shows I’ve done.”

Don’t miss out on libraries’ 2016 Brew Tour

Continued from Page 1

years ago, we were looking around and it dawned on us that there really wasn’t a good food festival in the Castle Rock area.”

Boyle said he and DeLay, who owns Pegasus Restaurant in Castle Rock, saw the growth in the area as an indicator that the time was ripe for just such a festival, but the community’s response was something even they hadn’t anticipated.

“The first year, we hoped to have a thousand people,” Boyle said. “We had 2,500.”

Participating breweries include: Castle Rock · 105 West Brewing Company - 1043 Park St., Castle Rock · Castle Rock Beer Company - 514 Perry St., Castle Rock · Rockyard Brewing Company - 880 Castleton Road, Castle Rock Highlands Ranch area · 3 Freaks Brewery - 7140 E.

Parker Road, Parker

Susie Watkins, who drove from Genesee for the event, said the wide array of exhibitors and the price of admission, $20 at the door and $10 advance, impressed her.

“That’s a lot of food for $10, and really interesting variety” Watkins said.

According to Boyle, bringing Douglas County residents together with the various establishments in the area was always the point.

“The whole idea behind this is to focus attention on the great food service establishments that Douglas County has to offer,” Boyle said. “And it becomes a great opportunity for people … The idea is to have a little bit of synergy here, and it seems to have worked out well.”

Scheduled events include: · Toasted Coconut Brown Ale tapping and Brew Tour kickoff, featuring live music, 6 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 31, at Lone Tree Brewing Company. · Belgian Dubbel tapping and The Chocolate Therapist (beer and chocolate pairing), 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 7, at Elk Mountain Brewing, 18921 Plaza Drive, Parker · Saison tapping and author Ed Sealover (“Colorado Excursions With History, Hikes and Hops”), 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 13, at 105 West Brewing Company, 1043 Park St., Castle Rock · Craft(y) brews: Pinterest- and brewinspired crafts, 6 p.m., Wednesday, Sept.

14, at 3 Freaks Brewery, 7140 E. County Line Road., Highlands Ranch · Coffee Stout tapping and author Ed Sealover (“Colorado Excursions With History, Hikes and Hops”), 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 21, at Barnett & Son Brewing Company, 18425 Pony Express Drive, Parker · A tapping to be determined and The Chocolate Therapist (beer and chocolate pairing), 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 28, Living the Dream Brewing Company, 12305 N.

Food

These days, the festival limits tickets to the first 2,200 takers.

“If we had any more people,” Boyle said, “the building would come down.”

DeLay and Boyle worked in tandem to keep the event running smoothly. DeLay darted from station to station checking in with vendors, while Boyle worked the crowd and emceed the proceedings.

DeLay said Boyle described Boyle as “the big brother I never had, and I’m the little brother he never had.”

Festival food ranged from domestic favorites like meats from Dickey’s Barbecue Pit and biscuits and gravy from the Black-Eyed Pea to exotic fare like saag paneer from India’s Castle and libations from Imperial Beer of Costa Rica.

Douglas County Libraries will host its third annual Great Douglas County Brew Tour during September, inviting Douglas County residents to experience their library in a fresh way. The libraries will partner with 10 craft breweries in the Castle Rock, Lone Tree, Parker and Highlands Ranch areas to promote local businesses and their products.

This year’s tour includes two new breweries, both in Castle Rock — 105 West Brewing Company and Castle Rock Beer Company. The tour’s featured events happen each Wednesday in September, including beer-themed author events, live music, brew-inspired crafts, and, of course, tappings. DCL has also added a bonus Tuesday evening event this year, as well.

“September is a great time of year to be a craft-brew lover in Colorado,” said Kerri Morgan, program and events supervisor at DCL. “The number of stops on our Brew Tour has grown by more than 40 percent since the tour’s inception in 2014.

Staff report

We’re so fortunate to have such great places in Douglas County to enjoy these specialty brews.”

Joining the Brew Tour is free, requires visiting five of the 10 participating breweries during September to complete the Brew Tour passport, and entitles the holder of a completed passport to a commemorative pint glass courtesy of DCL. Several of the participating breweries will craft special, limited-edition brews to be tapped in September specifically for the library Brew Tour, including a Belgian Dubbel from Elk Mountain Brewing.

Library patrons can tap their creativity to help name these brews and win prizes, VIP treatment at the tapping parties, and library fame.

The naming contest is under way on the DCL Facebook page at Facebook. com/DouglasCountyLibrariesColorado through Aug. 28.

The Great Douglas County Brew Tour is Douglas County Libraries’ contribution to Outside the Lines, an annual Colorado library-led initiative to reintroduce libraries to their communities in creative and innovative ways.

More than 170 libraries across the globe will participate in Outside the Lines during September.

For skilled specialists, it’s a snap High school football long snappers face pressure to deliver

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com While their teammates vie for accolades and adoration, long snappers typically only draw attention when a snap goes astray.

“Once you mess up, people start talking about you,” said long snapper Steven Green, a Ponderosa senior.

Long snappers center and deliver the football over longer distances to punters and holders for extra points and field goals.

They have joined punters and placekickers as specialists on teams.

“Our position is kind of weird,” Green said. “The whole team will be together doing one thing, and three of our positions will be on the sidelines. We’ll do our own little thing by ourselves. We don’t do everything with everybody else.

“If I mess up, it will be extremely bad.

I’m in a more pressure position as in gamewinning field goal kicks or punts that could determine if they score again. If I mess up, it will be over his head and on the ground.

If the center messes up, the quarterback can pick it up and make a play out of it.”

Long snapping has become a more recognized asset for teams in recent years and there are several national camps available for players to fine-tune their skills. Major college coaches are looking to secure good

OUTLOOK Most area teams play their first game of the season on Sept. 1 or 2. Teams will play state playoff games in 16-team brackets starting Nov. 3. Championship games in 3A, 4A and 5A will be Dec. 3. The 4A and 5A title games will be a Sports Authority Field at Mile High.

high school long snappers. Division I powers Ohio State, Alabama and Notre Dame offered scholarships to long snappers over the past two years.

“Long snappers are important because they have the ability in one play to change

field position,” Lakewood coach Jeff Braun said. “It is a skill that not very many have.

You need someone who can snap and block simultaneously. I usually get a linebacker/fullback who can run and cover.”

There are quality long snappers in Colorado high school football who are drawing interest because of their quick, accurate long snaps and ability to get down field to cover punts.

Green is small for someone who plays on the line, at 5 feet 8, 175 pounds, but he has a chance to play at the next level because of his unique skill.

“I’ve been coming to camps, watching videos, I’ve got a private coach and have Snap continues on Page 28

League alignments shake up tradition Many rivals will no longer be in the same conference

By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com High school football leagues have been realigned for the next two seasons, and many schools will be playing in new classifications and traveling to some unfamiliar territory.

There will be 42 teams each in Class 5A, 4A and 3A with seven new conferences in each classification formed on an alignment based on the average computer ranking — or Ratings Percentage Index — from the past two seasons.

There will be several non-familiar schools playing conference games against each other, which could make non-league games more attractive.

“The new league alignments will put a strain on attendance at games,” Highlands Ranch coach Mark Robinson said.

“However, it will be good to face teams that are competitive from other areas around the state.”

Westminster coach Kerry Denison agrees that game attention could shrink.

“The new league alignments will destroy lower-income school programs,” he said.

Castle View coach Dustin Pfeiffer said rivalries in the new alignments will be lost, although teams could still schedule non-league contests against rival schools.

“The RPI system is a year away from being accurate but going to this system loses what is great about high school football,” said Pfeiffer, whose team opens the season Sept. 2 against Castle Rock rival Douglas County High School, though the teams are no longer in the same conference. “We have lost great conference traditions and as they change from cycle to cycle, you lose the natural conference rivalries.

“I am not sure how our supporters

REALIGNMENT For a list of teams in each league, go to http://chsaanow.com/alignment/ football-2016-2017/

would feel if we were to travel to Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins for a conference title game as opposed to playing a crosstown rival for a crosstown title. It will be interesting to see how this develops over the years.”

That’s an opinion expressed by several coaches.

“I do not like that the leagues are no longer geographical and non-league games mean more to our student body than league games,” Rock Canyon coach Brian Lamb said.

Heritage dropped from 5A and will play in the 4A Plains League.

“We will line up, kick off and compete

against whoever they tell us to,” Eagles coach Tyler Knoblock said. “We are just very excited to get to be playing again soon.”

Class 3A, 4A and 5A will have 10 regular-season games, with 16 teams in each division qualifying for the state playoffs, which will begin Nov. 12. Last season, there were 32 Class 5A teams that advanced to the playoffs.

League winners automatically gain a spot in the playoffs and the nine teams that do not win conference titles will advance to the playoffs determined by their RPI rankings.

“The good thing is the right teams are going to get into the playoffs,” said Valor Christian coach Rod Sherman. “There was some discomfort with 5A being 32 teams and all the others being 16 teams.”

“To go to 16 teams, the only fair way to do it was to adjust the leagues where all of the top teams are spread out.

What’s gone are natural rivalries, but you have five non-conference games.”

Continental League golf teams tee off for season Heritage junior takes top individual spot, while Regis wins team competition

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Heritage junior Sam Blackwood had a good afternoon putting.

Jackson Crist of Highlands Ranch kept the ball in the fairways.

Douglas County’s David Roney saw the extra work on his driving pay off.

Those three players had the top scores in the Aug. 18 Continental League golf tournament at South Sub-

urban Golf Course in Centennial.

Blackwood was the medalist with a 2-under-par 70 “I putted pretty well, got off to a good start and made a few birdies,” Blackwood said. “I made five birdies.

Everything was in sync. There were no bad shots. I hit the ball well.”

Crist, a senior, bogeyed the 18th hole but finished with an even-par 72 following an impressive approach shot than wound up a foot from the cup.

“On the front nine, I started off birdie, birdie,” Crist said. “I had four bogeys in the round and I made three birdies on the back nine but bogeyed my last hole. I didn’t miss a lot of fairways. I didn’t make any big numbers.”

Roney, also a senior, finished with a 1-over-par 73.

“I’ve been working on my drives and I kept it in the fairway,” Roney said.

Regis Jesuit was first in the team standings with a four-player total of 302 strokes.

Heritage was second at 304, led by Blackwood. Also for Heritage, Ryan Way had a round of 75, Jordan Phong 77 and Cam Jajaj an 82.

Mountain Vista placed third with a consistent showing led by Nick Kim’s 3-over-par 75. Chris Rapp shot 77, Evan Wilkinson 78 and Elisandro Aragon 79.

Lakewood coach gets back on right track

Jim Benton

OVERTIME

Jeff Braun’s wheelchair is unoccupied these days.

The Lakewood head football and assistant track coach is walking around during practice.

“I am happy to be walking and not have a lot of pain in my knees,” Braun said.

Braun, who enjoyed an active athletic career in the 1980s, had a grueling, eightmonth battle to come back from knee-replacement surgery on both knees in

December of 2015.

His recovery went well — maybe too well. He re-injured his rebuilt left knee while working out, and an infection developed in the spring.

“All of a sudden that knee changed and my wife (Lisa) could tell something else was wrong,” Braun said.

He had emergency surgery to get rid of the infection.

“I was in a wheelchair for 10 weeks and on intravenous antibiotics for six weeks to get rid of the infection,” Braun said. “I coached the track team from the wheelchair and started out summer football workouts in a wheelchair. In mid-June after making sure the infection was gone, they put in a new knee again.

“Since then I have been rehabbing and working hard to get back to normal. I missed about a week of football right after my surgery in June but have been at practice since then and I am feeling pretty good now.”

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF AUGUST 22, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A troubling situation takes a positive turn and moves toward a resolution that should please you and your supporters.

Meanwhile, make time to deal with new domestic issues.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good time to reassess your goals and consider shifting directions. Remember to keep an open mind, and be prepared to make changes as new opportunities arise.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Rely on your strong Mercury aspect to help you close that communication gap before it becomes too wide to cross. A sibling or other family member has news.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re about to get off that emotional roller coaster and start experiencing more stability than you’ve been used to.

This is a good time to let someone new into your life.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Good news: A trusted friend comes through for you. But you still need to shed that last scrap of self-doubt and once more become the cool, confident Cat we all know and love.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Things should be getting back to a less hectic pace. Enjoy the more peaceful atmosphere. You earned it. But don’t forget about those still-unresolved issues.

© 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A more positive family relationship develops as misunderstandings are explained away. A job situation appears promising, but check it out before you act on it.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Congratulations. That on-the-job situation is working out as you’d hoped. Now’s a good time to relax and to enjoy the company of family and close friends.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You might feel as if you’re caught in an emotional tug-of-war. But don’t be rushed into a decision on either side. Wait for more facts before you act.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The Goat’s usually high level of self-confidence is brimming over these days. This should help you deal with a situation that you’ve avoided for far too long. Go for it.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Relationships become more intense. But be careful not to be pushed into decisions you’re not comfortable with. Remember: You’re the one in charge of your life.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You need to show more confidence in your ability to reach your goals. Make that long-delayed decision, and avoid floundering around in a sea of self-doubt.

BORN THIS WEEK: Although you appear to be strongly opinionated, you can also be open to other ideas -- so long as they are presented with logic and clarity. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Participation gains short yardage Concerns over the risk of concussion have left many to wonder about the future of football.

But a national survey conducted by the National Federation of State High School Associations revealed a slight participation increase from 2014 to 2015.

There were 24 states, including Colorado, that had an increase in 11-man football, according to the NFHS report compiled from across the nation. When combining boys and girls participation in 6-man, 8-man, 9-man, girls and 11-player football in 2015, the combined numbers nationally increased by 138 from 1,114,253 in 2014 to 1,114,391.

Colorado doesn’t sanction 9-man football so the combined participation for three divisions in 2014 was 16,272 compared to 16,884 last season. In 11-man football Colorado’s participation numbers PUBLIC NOTICE increased from 14,952 two years ago toParker 15,705 in the NOTICE OF SALE 2015 season.

However, there hasn’t been a lot of fluctuation

over the past six seasons in Colorado’s football participation numbers.

“We have remained flat and I believe we could see some falling off as people react to the concussion/ head injury concerns,” said CHSAA Associate Commissioner Bert Borgmann. “What is important is that we continue to work with schools and coaches on proper techniques. Colorado has always been at the forefront of keeping the head out of football.”

been working hard at it,” Green said. “That’s what I like to specialize in. Last year I was one of the top in the state with the fastest times and perfect snaps every single time.”

Valor Christian’s Devin Noth, a 6-3, 205-pound senior, is a 5-star Division I prospect and is the fifthranked high school long snapper in ratings used by college coaches that are compiled by Chris Sailer kicking and Chris Rubio long-snapping camps.

“There are more and more camps to help with recruiting with long snappers,” Noth said. “All dur-

ing youth league, I played as a lineman. Freshman year I wasn’t starting as a lineman but was starting as a long snapper. I realized I was OK at that and started improving and working on long snapping.

Over the course of that next year, it became a specialty to me. Next thing I knew, I was a long snapper only and working with the kickers every day at practice.

“The things a lot of people look at are speed and accuracy. There are a lot of other factors too. If a college coach sees you and you can snap it faster and more accurate than any other guy, they will take you. But you need a nice spiral on the ball. So having good form, and what your coach wants either blocking or running down the field to make a tackle is important.”

League: Mt. Lincoln Players to watch: Marc Muma, QB, Sr.; Bryce Johnson, OT, Sr.; Jaydon Madrid, WR, Sr.; Chad Muma, DB/ WR, Jr.; Zach Hrovat, RB, Sr.; Tate Wildeman, DE, Sr. Team strengths: Three-year starter in Marc Muma returns at quarterback and a large freshman and sophomore class.

Team weakness: Only one senior lineman in the program.

From the coach: “Chad Muma, a talented three-sport junior, has been offered (a scholarship) by CSU in football.”

Team strengths: A good combination of size and speed with a majority of the starters being seniors.

Team weakness: Depth on the varsity level is limited.

From the coach: “Our first 11 can play with most anybody, but we will have to do a great job of coaching up the younger players so they can become role players. Overall, our ability to make big plays will be the difference in wins and losses.”

PONDEROSA Coach: Jaron Cohen 2015 record: 8-3 League: Foothills (4A) Players to watch: Mikey Thomas, FS/RB, Sr.; Drew Behrends, LB, Sr.; Garrett Dunn, LB/TE, Sr.; Quinton Ostdahl, LB/RB, Jr.; Sterling Ostdahl, QB, Jr.; Max Bruner, OL, Jr.; Bridger Arvanetes, OL, Jr.; Michael Lindberg, WR, Sr. Team strengths: Great team speed on defense and a physical offensive line to go with skill position players.

Team weakness: Three players to replace on the offensive line.

From the coach: “We return several players that have already been starters for the past two years and have some excellent specialists as well.

We look to continue to build on the success from the last two years with what is hopefully a strong regular season and run in the playoffs.”
