School board field set Trust, tax dollars and school choice among dividing issues

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com The race for the three open seats on the seven-member Douglas County Board of Education will pit three incumbents against three challengers endorsed by the group Douglas County Parents this November.

The challengers are rallying behind concerns over trust and transparency with the current board, what they consider to be the mismanagement of tax dollars, and losses in educational opportunities for students.

“After over a decade as a regular volunteer in my children’s classrooms, I began noticing changes that were negatively affecting our schools,” Lemieux said. “I became worried that district leadership was more concerned with marketing expensive pilot reforms rather than wisely spending educational tax dollars with

The Franktown facility answered a call for help from the Houston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. With room for more than 100 horses, Harmony Equine Center at 5540 E. Highway 86 was in a position to take in the 61 horses in two separate groups.

The Douglas County School District has seen its voucher program get the green light and then the red light multiple times in various Colorado courts since 2011. Now, the school district plans to appeal to the highest court in the land for a definitive ruling on whether or not the program is constitutional.

The district will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case involving its Choice Scholarship Program, which the state’s top court ruled violated the Colorado Constitution.

“When the Colorado Supreme Court’s opinion was announced in late June, we promised a careful, thorough and rigorous legal analysis to determine our next steps,” Douglas County School Board President Kevin Larsen said in a news release Sept. 2.

“Today we announce that we will be seeking (the) U.S. Supreme Court review of our case.

To achieve that end, we have retained the very best legal minds in the country to make our argument that the June 29 opinion runs afoul of the United States Constitution.”

Meg Masten, spokeswoman for Douglas County Parents, said she was disappointed in the district for making the decision withVouchers continues on Page 6

My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community

KAREN MURRAY Pistol instructor, busy mom The journey to Parker I am originally from Sedalia, Missouri. I moved to Canon City with my family when I was 14 and graduated from Canon City High School in 1983. I lived in Colorado Springs for a short time before moving to Denver in 1986. My husband and I bought a house in Parker in 1997 and love it here!

Busy busy busy We like to entertain and go shooting!

Our daughter is an NRA Certified Youth Shooter in rifle, and shoots pistols with her dad and I at the range. She is a very good shot! I love to cook, crochet and keep up with current events/politics. Because my daughter plays on the junior varsity team at Legend High School, I also volunteer for the volleyball program at the school.

Answering a calling It was a gradual progression into my career as an NRA-certified pistol instructor, and it began in my late teens. I loved to shoot my dad’s .22 rifle, and I used to “plink” with that every chance I got. He then bought a .357 Magnum revolver, and that was the first handgun I shot. I’ve always loved to shoot and grew up with a healthy respect for firearms, never fearing them, just respecting them. When I discovered the fear that actually exists, and the need for people to educate themselves, I saw it as not just my opportunity, but my calling, to eradicate the irrational fear that society has with regard to firearms through education and training. I love teaching women how to shoot!

What I did with my summer Our daughter played in a large volleyball tournament in Phoenix at the end of June with over 400 teams from around the world. It was a hot time of year to visit Phoenix, but had a great experience. My husband’s family lives in Montana, and we took our annual road trip to visit them in July. With the kids starting school so early, and my teaching schedule, that’s about all we had time for!

Parker Town Council approved the construction of an electrical power substation and the installation of a 115-kilovolt power line.

The Intermountain Rural Electric Association substation northwest of E-470 and Chambers Road will serve Compark Village and industrial areas of northern Douglas County. An increase in the number of light-industrial uses in recent years has translated to significant consumption of electrical power, according to a staff report prepared for Parker Town Council before its Aug. 17 meeting.

“The town and the property owners in this area desire to see light industrial growth continue and have therefore approached Intermountain Rural Electric Authority regarding installation of new electrical infrastructure to support future development,” the report said.

The use-by-special-review application submitted to the town was approved unanimously by town council.

Brooks Kaufman, director of lands and rights of way for IREA, said the transmission line will be hidden by existing and future commercial buildings, and that the benefits would be reliable and additional capacity for existing businesses and future commercial facilities. The power line alignment will follow E-470.

Michael Vickers, developer of Compark Business Campus, told town council that the area of E-470 and Chambers Road is a good location for the project due to the anticipated growth, including businesses that will bring in medically related jobs.

Views of the substation from the Happy Canyon Trail will be blocked by an 8-foot fence. The Compark Business Campus Metropolitan District will also install and maintain a landscape buffer between the substation and Happy Canyon Trail. The staff report said the 7.4-acre site was chosen because it is the “least visible and closest to future growth that could be reasonably found.”

Meet the school board candidates District A

District C

Craig Richardson

Kevin Larsen

Occupation: Attorney in private practice with a large international law firm Background: School board incumbent Richardson, 54, and his wife, Valerie, have lived in Highlands Ranch since 1993. They have three grown children. Prior to his legal career, Richardson worked in the White House, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo, the Pentagon, and retired as a Navy commander in 2009.

Richardson graduated with a B.A. in government from Pomona College and holds a master’s degree from Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School and a law degree from Stanford University. He was Richardson appointed to the Douglas County School Board to fill a vacancy in 2010, and was elected to the seat in 2011.

Comment: “First, I want build on what we have already accomplished over the last number of years. I also want to bring more fiscal discipline to the district in how we approach capital needs. The only legitimate reason for debt is for growth and building new buildings. Your family takes out a loan to buy or build a house, not for new paint or carpets. We shouldn’t be using debt for maintenance issues.”

District F

Richard Robbins

Larsen

Comment: “Our track record is clear.

Academic performance is up, financial stability is up and the biggest barriers of the past are away from the bargaining table. This is a district focused on educating the students of Douglas County, recognizing the vital role of parents guiding the decision-making, and doing it in the most fiscally responsible way for the citizens and taxpayers of the community.”

Background: Vogel, 45, is a parent of two DCSD students and a longtime volunteer in the schools and community. Vogel has worked as a member of the Douglas County Long Range Planning Committee and was involved the process to identify more than $250 million in capital needs. Vogel graduated from Wake Forest University with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and went on to receive a master’s degree in counselVogel ing from Chapman University. Before having children, she worked in federal prisons as a psychology intern, a substance abuse educator and a case manager.

Background: Lemieux, 48, moved to Highlands Ranch in 2004 with her husband, Doug, and two children. She is a former teacher and parent to one DCSD graduate and one current DCSD student. Lemieux helped develop the High School Academic Booster Club in the Douglas County School District.

She graduated with a B.S. in education from Baylor University in 1989 and taught elementary school for seven Lemieux years in Texas.

the primary goal of student success.”

Current school board members say they are proud of what they have accomplished during the past few years, especially when it comes to student achievement, teacher pay and school choice.

“I’m most proud of the very, very strong academic achievement we’ve had for our students,” Richardson said. “Our test scores and graduation rates have gone up across the board. I’m also proud of the way that we have been able to implement a system of teacher pay that rewards our people for their expertise and performance.”

Douglas County Parents points to what it calls “a failure to inform the public” of

Comment: “I am dedicated to ensuring our tax dollars are spent wisely on the maintenance of our current district and school building properties as well as efficiently meeting the requirements of our growing student body. I have the skills, background knowledge and energy necessary to move our school district forward by setting and meeting fiscally healthy and educationally strong goals. I will work diligently to ensure the Douglas County School Board is meeting the needs of our students, as well as its responsibility to the community.”

plans to spend $16 million on a new teacher evaluation system and a failure to meet the district’s estimated $275 million in capital needs improvements as some of the current board’s major missteps.

The group also has concerns about the reduction in time for public comment during board meetings.

“First and foremost, our children need an exemplary teacher in every classroom and both our teachers and students need to be in a culture where they can thrive,” Ray said.

“A culture that is defined by competition, oppression and unrealistic expectations will not achieve this goal.”

Vogel said rebuilding trust with the public would be a focus and that she would insist on open meetings that allow all community members to be heard. She also would demand a comprehensive survey to gauge the district’s climate.

“During the last several years, I have

Comment: “I believe one of the biggest issues facing the district is school funding.

I want to work with our local legislators to Robbins improve the school-funding formula. Improving the school-funding formula will help the Douglas County taxpayers keep more of their hard-earned money within our own community to help with education funding instead of sending millions of our tax dollars to supplement other districts.”

David Ray

Occupation: Educator Background: Ray, 54, has been a resident of Parker since 1990. He and his wife, Becky, had two children go through DCSD. Ray served as an elementary principal in Douglas County for 23 years, opening three elementary schools and leading a fourth to becoming the first DCSD school to national recognition as a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. He began his career at South Elementary School in Castle Rock. Ray attended University of Northern Colorado earning a B.A. in elementary education in 1983 and M.A. in educational administration in 1988. He is enrolled in the M.A. of counseling program at Colorado Christian University, with anticipated graduation date of December 2016.

Ray

Anne-Marie Lemieux

Occupation: Parent, former elementary school teacher

Comment: “I think the biggest issue in our school district is the lack of trust in our board of education and district leadership… I will also work to reprioritize our funding so that the bulk of our precious resources are used in the classrooms, rather than on overinflated administration and ineffective programs. I want to ensure that we are providing our teachers with the resources, support, and quality professional development they need to deliver the best education for our students.”

Background: Incumbent Robbins, 45, and his wife, Virginia, live in Elbert County and have four children.

Prior to his UPS Freight employment, Robbins worked for Northrop Grumman as a contractor to the Department of Energy and in the U.S. Air Force, from which he retired after 20 years of service.

Robbins graduated with a B.A. in criminal justice from American Military University.

Robbins was appointed to the board in March of 2014.

Background: Incumbent Larsen, 52, and his wife, Cindy, have lived in Highlands Ranch since 1989.

Their three daughters each attended Fox Creek Elementary, Cresthill Middle, and Highlands Ranch High schools. Larsen graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a bachelor of science degree in mathematics. He is the president of the Douglas County School Board and was elected in 2011.

Occupation: Operations supervisor with UPS Freight

Occupation: Assistant vice president and actuary with Hannover Life Reassurance Company of America

Comment: “I am running for the board of education motivated by the belief that our school district needs to restore to the principles of unity and trust. It has been difficult to watch our school system become polarized and distracted from the only focus that matters — the growth and development of all children...Our school district has had a proud history where the culture was defined by trust, compassion, and synergy that resulted in educational excellence. It is for this reason that I am a seeking a position on the school board — to ensure that this culture, where our children and teachers can thrive, becomes the focus.”

attended countless district-level meetings, educating myself on the workings of the school district,” Vogel said. “I have gained a thorough understanding of the reforms implemented by district leadership and the negative impacts many of them have had on our children’s educational opportunities.”

School choice is an issue close to the hearts of current board members. There are 67,000 students who attend Douglas County’s 80-plus schools.

In addition to traditional neighborhood schools, the district also has 12 charter schools, an alternative high school, an alternative programming school, a night high school and an online school.

“Every student is unique,” Larsen said, “and we are committed to providing each student with the best options for them to be successful.”

The school district announced Sept. 2 it will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the

case involving its school voucher program known as the Choice Scholarship Program.

Richardson and Larsen expressed concerns about tax dollars leaving the district in a disproportional amount and said school financing is an issue they hope to address.

According to Richardson, the amount of tax money leaving the district to fund schools in other counties “exceeds what is a reasonable amount of generosity.”

Larsen said he would like to see a more detailed review of the actual cost of education per pupil and to refine the system so that it better reflects a student’s individual need.

The incumbents running for re-election said that although they are proud of what they have accomplished, they would like more time to see the work they have started through to completion.

“The things we ran on,” Larsen said, “we delivered for the district.”

out more public input. Douglas County Parents is an organization formed by parents concerned about the school board’s and administration’s policies and decisions.

“When was the public discussion to come to that decision?” Masten said.

“I think this is something where the school board should come to the public and get their views and opinions because this is something that affects our children.”

Under the Choice Scholarship Program, the district would provide scholarships to up to 500 Douglas County students, whose families could apply those funds to send them to a private school in the district. Many of the private schools in the district are faith-based.

The program’s legal defense is being paid for by private donations, and no taxpayer dollars have been used, the district said. In June, school board member Craig Richardson said the district had spent $1.2 million on the case, all from private sources.

The district’s legal team includes

Paul Clement, who served as the 43rd Solicitor General of the United States from 2005-08, appointed by President George W. Bush. He has argued more than 75 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Larsen referred to Clement as a “superstar in the U.S. Supreme Court bar, having argued some of the most important and consequential cases before the high court in our time.”

“I am delighted to be representing Douglas County in this critically important case,” said Clement in the district’s news release. “Douglas County’s innovative voucher program is plainly constitutional under the decisions of the United States Supreme Court. Nonetheless, the Colorado Supreme Court has read the state’s Blaine Amendment — a provision that at least seven justices have recognized was the product of religious bigotry — to require Douglas County to discriminate against religious schools.

I look forward to working with Douglas County’s great team to ask the United States Supreme Court to review and reverse this decision.”

The Colorado Supreme Court ruled in June that public money cannot be used to aid or support any “sectarian” institution. At trial, DCSD argued that

School district spokeswoman Paula Hans said DCSD has filed a request to extend its time to file the appeal and, if that is successful, it will file by Oct. 28.

The district says it will be joined in its effort by the State of Colorado, which will be filing its own petition with the Supreme Court.

If the Supreme Court were to take the case, it would continue a court history on the matter that dates to 2011, when the citizens group Taxpayers for Public Education filed a lawsuit against the district. A Denver judge halted the program that same year, but in 2013 a state appeals court reversed that decision. Another reversal came with the ruling from the state’s top court in June.

“I am confident that the U.S. Supreme Court will let stand the order of the Colorado Supreme Court striking down the voucher program,” said Cindy Barnard, president of Taxpayers for Public Education.

According to the Supreme Court’s website, the court receives requests to consider about 10,000 cases per year, but only about 75 to 80 cases make the cut for oral argument before the court.

the intent of the word “sectarian” when the Blaine Amendment was approved meant “Catholic,” and that the amendment was equally directed at excluding immigrants and Jews from public education benefits.

“The ruling by Colorado’s highest court paves the way for the U.S. Supreme Court to evaluate the constitutionality of Colorado’s Blaine Amendment, which is an ugly part of no fewer than 37 state constitutions,” Larsen said.

Masten said her group is adamantly opposed to vouchers in the district.

“We’re opposed to tax dollars being diverted to private schools and we are opposed to the inequity that the voucher system produces,” Masten said.

Debbie Gurley, a Highlands Ranch mother, said she sees no need for school vouchers in Douglas County because of the quality of schools.

“I believe that the intent of vouchers is to rescue kids from failing public schools,” Gurley said. “There is no school in DCSD bad enough that a kid needs to be rescued from it. Vouchers in Douglas County are simply a refund for parents who don’t want to pay into the public school system when their kids aren’t using it.”

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Janelle Lindley knew from a young age that art was her thing. But when she was little, growing up in Georgia in the 1950s, everyone took piano lessons. Not art. She kept asking to take art classes, but none was available.

It wasn’t until she was in seventh grade, in Texas, that she finally took her first official painting class.

From there, she developed her craft, eventually attending Baylor University and majoring in art. Lindley taught elementary art for 18 years, and after retiring a few years ago, moved to Castle Rock.

“We always wanted to live in Colorado because we vacationed here,” she said.

Three days after she moved to the area, she participated in her first Colorado Artfest. Now, two years later, it’s one of the shows she looks forward to the most.

Nature is what inspired Lindley to create her colorful mixed media pieces.

“I do what I call paper painting,” she

said. “I like the visual texture and bright colors. This combines the two.”

The table in her basement studio was overflowing with piles of vibrantly colored paper. A large tryptic painting hung on the wall waiting for texture to be added.

When working on a piece, Lindley paints her canvas first and then takes papers that she has also painted, tears them into smaller pieces, then places them on top of the painting, until the entire canvas is covered.

“It’s fun to make that mess,” she said. “To tear that paper and find the right spot for it — it’s almost mosaic-like.”

The papers featured in Lindley’s pieces range from handmade paper to children’s book pages, to maps and sheet music. The words and printings can be seen faintly though the paint.

“It’s fun to go up close and see the different pieces in them,” she said, as she pointed out handwritten pages in a commission she was working on. “And I love anytime I can infuse color in anything I do — I just see it that way, I see the color.”

Lindley will be one of the 170 artists showing Sept. 12 and 13 at the Colorado Artfest in Castle Rock. She will also give a demonstration of her work from 11:15 a.m. to noon Sept. 12.

When it comes to education on any level, one of the things that I find so interesting is the expectation around the learning results. I see it time and time again with companies and indiMichael Norton viduals where they believe the learnWINNING ing only happens WORDS in the classroom.

Now maybe some of it does, but I believe the actual learning comes from trying and applying the skills and techniques we are taught in the classroom while we are actually back at work doing our job or for students while they are doing their homework. You see, it is one thing to be able to participate in training or in the classroom when the teacher or trainer is right there. But it is another thing altogether to leave the comfort of the classroom and try applying something

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR School district priorities are tough to understand In his report on the discussion of safety at the Aug. 18 board meeting of the Douglas County School District, Mike DiFerdinando includes this quote from Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen. It is, “absolutely our number one priority in the district, and we wanted to be as transparent about it in as much of a way as we could, given the nature of safety.”

I think all of us want our children to be safe and we will applaud the district for promoting safety and assigning a high priority to safety measure. But the top priority? Really? There are at least two issues that need to be raised in response to this statement.

One, what are the supporting facts as opposed to unconvincing PR? Do we really have a systemwide approach that provides funding to all schools in a fair and equitable manner? Given the information cited, this does not appear to be the case.

Two, the real purpose of the system is to educate all of our children, and for them to be creative, productive, and successful adults, they all need a first-rate education.

The failure to address capital needs for the system, moves to deprofessionalize teachers, the disdain for parents who have a different perspective, and the neglect of important curricular components such as foreign languages, music, and art do not bode well for fostering creativity.

STEM courses are important but others are also, and if a full range of disciplines is not available at each school, many students will inevitably be ill served. As a relatively wealthy county, can’t we make academic excellence our number one priority? If we do, all of our children will have a brighter future and our society will be stronger. Such a focus may also promote

an atmosphere of greater commitment by students and far fewer safety issues.

Henry M. Barlow Highlands Ranch School board’s fiscal matters raise questions One of the Douglas County School Board’s pillars of achievement, according to its own website, is “ Sound Fiscal Management Under the Board’s leadership, the District has been able to get back onto solid fiscal footing. Thanks to conservative budgeting and sound fiscal management.”

Yet they are willing to spend $1.2 million to make an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court for their ideological dream of vouchers?

A voucher system that has already been ruled unconstitutional by the Colorado Supreme Court. The district claims all $1.2 million has been privately donated, but this raises even more questions. Who is buying the board’s allegiance?

Does their solid fiscal management include the $4.2 million owed to the state of Colorado for miscalculating student enrollment?

In 2011 the school board cut $36 million from its budget, including 177 teaching jobs, yet later that year the district found some unspent money, $66 million.

How is that fiscal responsibility?

Tod Gilmore Parker Schools face building concerns Thanks so much for your recent article on safety in our Douglas County schools, noting mental health as an issue, along with the scarcity of counselors compared to other districts.

Regardless of this deficit, the district

also has cut classroom time and increased classroom size, so that interaction with teachers and other students on a regular basis has decreased. Consequently, those students already isolated and depressed or disturbed have less opportunity, in an organized way, to connect with others, especially in this very isolating digital age.

Jumping to a more concrete safety issue, one factor not covered in the article is building maintenance. In addition to creating a cheerful learning environment, we keep our children and staff safe by not allowing deterioration. At Highlands Ranch High School, the staff uses buckets attempting to control regular leaks, but the district insists that the concerns do not reach the high priority list, so staff must keep on using those buckets. A roof collapse during a big-dump snowstorm constitutes a huge safety concern, as do HVAC mishaps and all construction failures.

Sensing the urgency of such issues, some schools actually have had to raise private funds to address deteriorating capital conditions. Yet, to date, the district has not given the electorate the option to vote for building maintenance and improvements through public support. Buildings deteriorate: so instead of expansion and new construction to accommodate more and more development, the district opts not to build, and not to act on the truism that failure to maintain leads to higher costs in the future and possible safety issues for our students and staff. I am disappointed that we do not get a chance to vote on these issues.

It’s important to understand that the learning happens when we try something new and we win or succeed, and more importantly, the learning also happens when we try something new and fail. That is because the learning happens in the doing.

And if we open ourselves up to trying something new and fail, our perception is that we will be judged by our peers, our family members, or our bosses. And that is just not the case. It is really just our own self-limiting belief system at work in our heads.

The truth is that our bosses, our family and friends, and our peers are OK seeing us fail from time to time as long as we are growing and learning from each step back. And they are thrilled when we actually try and apply something and we succeed, as they know that when we are

veterinarians and volunteers who will help the horses readjust and find good homes through adoption.

The first step after a medical evaluation was giving the horses aroundthe-clock access to food and water, said Megan Rees, public relations manager for the Dumb Friends League.

The horses undergo regular checkups to monitor progress, get their teeth cleaned and get their hooves trimmed.

Handling abused horses can be “tricky”

because they are skittish, largely because many have never had contact with humans before, Rees said.

“Essentially they’re wild horses,” she said, as the sounds of Harmony Equine Center reverberated in the background.

“They were a little unsure when they first arrived, a little scared, because they’re not sure what’s going on.”

In addition to protruding ribs, the new arrivals had abscesses and open wounds.

Getting the horses into healthy condition can be a long, arduous process, but the reward for handlers is knowing that the animals have been removed from a dire situation. Details on the seizure at the Texas ranch were not immediately available.

It’s not the first time Harmony Equine Center has taken in dozens of mistreated horses. It rehabilitated 68 horses taken from a ranch in Colorado nearly two years ago.

It can take up to a year and a half to get the animals adoption-ready, and the idea is to ride every horse before that happens.

The families that adopt are typically from Douglas and Elbert counties, but people come from Conifer and Evergreen and other parts of the state. Social media, horse associations and traditional media get the word out to potential adopters.

“We look forward to that day,” Rees said.

ith 120 million eggs laid in Colorado every year, they’re a hot commodity in the kitchen and the economy — in fact, eggs are collectively the ninth-largest agriculture product in the state behind wheat, Colorado Egg Producers Association President Jerry Wilkins said.

What most don’t know is the Colorado market is driven by only six main egg producers, which help support employment and income for 250 farm families.

Stores such as Albertson’s, Costco, King Soopers and a number of convenience stores provide the option to buy local eggs.

“It’s pretty exciting that specialty eggs on a store level come from a pretty small group of farmers with a little over 4 million egg-laying hens,” Wilkins said. “There’s efficiencies in place when you can produce that much every day all year. It’s a pretty amazing operation.”

Egg terms can be confusing when making a selection, but Wilkins Shell continues on Page 13

has found 82 percent of eggs sold and produced in Colorado are conventional or cage-free, 12 percent are nutritionally enhanced and 4 percent organic. With an abundance of choices, labeling gives the consumer the best amount of information to make the right decision, he said.

With local eggs, it’s about freshness.

“I represent family farms not only because it supports the local economy, but also because those eggs are delivered between 48 to 72 hours and they cook up great,” Wilkins said. “It affects the taste, and those meringues stand up taller when you cook them in your pan.”

Spencer Lomax, chief culinary conductor and purchasing officer, said sometimes the gaps in breakfast restaurants are that customers want the sausage — they just don’t want to know how it’s made or where it comes from.

“To us, we see freshness as a huge factor and have a relationship with a local supplier,” Lomax said. “A local egg is high quality and responsibly raised, typically cage-free and free of antibiotic.”

The company has recently decided to serve “almost” 100 percent local eggs, Lomax said.

“We’re proud to serve Colorado eggs

from just up the road in Platteville,” a town near Greeley, he said. “It’s awesome that we can support local farmers.

Eggs are super-versatile and offer a great source of protein. They’re just so good and the classic perfect breakfast.”

The most popular egg dish at Snooze is the eggs Benedict, and it has six different styles. There’s the classic ham Benedict.

But for those who enjoy a multitude of flavors — and a twist on the traditional — the Caprese features heirloom tomatoes tossed with pesto and served with mozzarella on a ciabatta bun with poached eggs, cream cheese hollandaise and a balsamic reduction.

If you’re stopping in at Snooze for the first time, Lomax recommends his favorite — the breakfast pot pie. It’s a flaky puff pastry smothered with homemade rosemary sausage gravy, topped with an egg and served with hash browns.

Chef tips Food expert Jason Morse, chef of 5280 Culinary and member of the American Culinary Foundation for the Colorado Chefs Association, always goes for jumbo eggs when cooking breakfast. For hardboiled eggs, older jumbo eggs peel easier, he said.

He advises to use local eggs, as they’re grade AA and meet FDA specifications.

Local producers take great care of their flocks and take pride in producing the most consistent eggs on the market, he said. Local equals fresher.

As a chef, Morse urges consumers to do their research when buying eggs instead of relying on television and online advertising. (For one of his favorite egg recipes, see the previous page.)

From his official obituary: “Mike will tell you his career really began when he was hired at the age of 15 as a marquee boy for the Dundee Theatre in Omaha. From that humble beginning, Mike rose in the ranks of the theater chain until he was promoted and became responsible for all advertising and marketing for the circuit.

SCFD board meeting sheds light on divide Some smaller organizations oppose funding proposal

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com A filled community room at Lone Tree Arts Center on Aug. 27 was the venue for the monthly meeting of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District Board of Directors, which includes one member from each of the seven included counties, plus several governor-appointed members.

The chairman is Arapahoe County representative Dan Hopkins, who wields a firm hand on proceedings. (The board circulates among SCFD venues.)

Lisa Rigsby Peterson, Lone Tree Arts Center director, welcomed the attendees with the news that LTAC, celebrating its fifth season, planned 250 programs. Revenues were up 57 percent and attendance has gained 155 percent. “We’re now producing,” she added, mentioning generational programming and Mainstage productions.

On the agenda was approval of funding for the Tier II organizations. (Representatives of half of them spoke over two hours, describing a great variety of programming.

The others had appeared earlier.) Littleton’s Hudson Gardens is among them, as are Lone Tree’s Arts Center and Parker’s PACE Center.

About 3 p.m., it was time for public comments, which indicated that not all were happy among SCFD’s smaller orga-

BACKGROUND OF SCFD REAUTHORIZATION In 1988, Denver metro-area voters approved a 1 cent on $10 sales tax to provide for enlightenment, entertainment and education of the public through scientific and cultural facilities. Categories include art, music, theater, dance, zoology, botany, natural history and cultural history. Counties included are Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver and Douglas (except for Castle Rock and Larkspur, which voted themselves out). There has been one reauthorization vote and a second is due in November 2016.

Enabling legislation for the November ballot must be introduced

nization.

The SCFD board’s website had a notice on April 22 that a report was coming on April 23 from the board-appointed, 18-member Reauthorization Task Force.

Lone Tree’s Peterson was a member, but there were few members from smaller Tier III organizations.

A new organization, FACE, Friends of Art and Culture Equity, formed to protest the committee’s suggested allocations.

It has written a resolution and has more than 80 signatories, including Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center, Littleton Chorale, Highlands Ranch-based Performance Now Theatre Company, Centennial-based Young Voices of the Rockies, Parker Symphony, Denver Concert Band (based in Lone Tree) — and building. Members claim they weren’t kept informed during the committee’s process and feel the smaller organizations should receive a larger percentage of total revenues.

and passed in the 2016 Legislature, which means it’s soon time to meet with legislators and write a bill.

The next reauthorization is proposed to run until 2030 and the SCFD committee suggests a number of percentage tweaks and changes in a complex formula that will have to be spelled out for voters to understand on a 2016 ballot.

Arts-loving readers will want to stay tuned in as this situation works its way to the ballot. Pages of material are available and will accumulate on websites for SCFD and FACE, scfd.org and face2016. com.

STRUCTURE OF SCFD

PACE Center, Colorado Symphony, Children’s Museum and Butterfly Pavilion.

Tier III includes the remaining 272 groups and has increased in numbers. Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center, Englewood Arts, Parker Arts, Littleton Chorale (now called Voices West), symphony orchestras from Littleton, Lone Tree, Parker, the Arapahoe Philharmonic and many more.

FUTURE NUMBERS

Tier lll: 13.5 percent rises to 14 percent For tax revenue over $38 million, the proposal takes this approach: Tier I: 64 percent drops to 57 percent Tier II: 22 percent rises to 26 percent.

Tier III: 14 percent rises to 17 percent.

The FACE organization says final figures should be adjusted to 50/30/20 percent and will be advocating for that distribution.

There are 304 organizations receiving SCFD funds, starting with the five in Tier I: Denver Art Museum, Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver Zoo, Denver Museum of Nature & Science and Denver Center for the Performing Arts. Tier II includes 27 organizations, including Arvada Center, Hudson Gardens, Lone Tree Arts Center,

The Scientific and Cultural Facilities District committee proposal for distribution of the first $38 million in tax revenue by 2030 breaks down this way: Tier I: (present) 65.5 percent drops to 64 percent.

Tier II: 21 percent goes up to 22 percent.

Titans lose season opener to Arapahoe Warriors win otherwise even game 19-7

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Legend moved the ball well at times in the Sept. 3 season opener against Arapahoe and was ahead at halftime, but the Warriors got their offense going in the second half and won 19-7.

Key moments A pair of Arapahoe field goals put the Warriors up 6-0 midway through the second quarter. Legend gave their fans a lot to cheer about as, late in the period, Titans quarterback Marc Muma teamed up with Monroe Porter on a 27-yard pass play for a touchdown. Carli Meis kicked the extra point to give the Titans a 7-6 lead at halftime. But a well-executed Warriors touchdown drive to open the second half put Arapahoe up 13-7 and a pair of field goal gave them the 19-7 winning margin.

“I thought our kids played really hard in the first half,” Titans coach Rob Doyle said.

“They came out and took it to us in the second half, plus we made to many mistakes, like turning the ball over twice and shooting ourselves in the foot with penalties.

You can’t do that against a good team like Arapahoe and expect to win.”

You would never suspect Valor Christian senior Reagan Hausmann used to dislike running.

Hausmann won the girls junior/senior division of the Mustang Stampede Invitational Sept. 3 at Salisbury Park in Parker.

She turned in a time of 19:29 to outdistance the field.

“I started running my sophomore year,” said Hausmann. “My friends made me come out to practice. I hated running and exercise. I did it for college credit. I just learned to love the sport.”

Hausmann has set goals for this season.

“As far as times, I want to get low 18s and I want to be top seven in the state and carry that into the track season and try to reach my full potential as I head off to college,” she said. “The goal is to get faster as we get near the state meet, I don’t want to peak now.”

Hausman joined SkyView Academy’s Ben Butler as winners in the junior/senior divisions. No team scores were kept.

In the boys freshman/sophomore group, Douglas County High School sophomore Brock Helvey ran second. SkyView Academy’s sophomore Payton Grove was third in the freshman/sophomore girls

tackles, and Cole Rensel had six solo tackles.

They said it “Our defensive line is young and you could see Arapahoe wearing our young defensive line down in the second half,” Doyle said. “But we saw a lot of good

class.

“I got my PR,” said Helvey. “This was our first race, so I’m pretty happy with it. I just want to gradually improve and get to state with my team. We’ve haven’t got to state yet, so I want to do that.”

Top south metro-area finishers in the Mustang Stampede: Junior/Senior Boys Ben Butler, SkyView Academy, first, 15:54; Alex Hebner, Chaparral, second, 16:52; Caleb Thompson, fifth, Douglas County, 17:10; Austin Dennis, Chaparral, sixth, 17:21.

Junior/Senior Girls Reagan Hausmann, Valor Christian, first, 19:29; Cassie Unruh, SkyView Academy, fourth, 20:13; Kamryn Hart, ThunderRidge, sixth, 20:31; Morgan Aurich, ThunderRidge, ninth, 20:52; Carly Bennett, Ponderosa, 10th, 20:55.

Freshman/Sophomore Boys Brock Helvey, Douglas County, second, 17:26; Jimmy Scavuzzo, SkyView Academy, third, 17:34; Michael Long, Douglas County, fourth, 17:45; Ben Sprague, ThunderRidge, 10th, 18:17.

Freshman/Sophomore Girls Payton Grove, SkyView Academy, third, 21:10; Josie Rodrigue, eighth, Douglas County, 21:35; Julea Chapa, Chaparral, 10th, 22:07.

things happen tonight. I think if we can clean up all the mistakes we’ll be OK this season.”

The Titans are in the Continental League South. Coach Doyle said all the teams look pretty good but said he feels Fountain-Fort Carson will be the team to beat for the league title.

Going forward Legend is scheduled to play a nonleague game at home on Sept. 19 against Overland and they will close out nonleague play on the road on Sept.25 at Highlands Ranch. The first league game on the schedule is Oct. 2 at home against crosstown rival Chaparral.
